Lan woke up in Twilight's bed. He fairly enjoyed last night. It was the most fun he had in a while. He found a cup and a ball, but the ball is attached to the cup so it doesn't fall out! Dirty minds out tonight. "Now today is going to be boring... I know! I'll search for other bronies!" Lan thought. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. All he needs is some time and some patience and maybe a chair thrown here and there and... wait... nevermind that last part. Lan was about to set off, but he needed to take a shower first, and change his bandage. After the battle, Twilight took Lan to the hospital and got him healed up. The whip was apparently bathed in some weird concoction before the battle which made it impossible for magic to heal the wounds. With Lan's cut mouth, the electricity killed the chemicals there so the doctors healed that up fast. As Lan stepped in the shower, Twilight walked. "GAH!!!" Lan jumped behind the curtains. "WHY?!" "Oh... i'm sorry... i'll leave now..." Twilight sounded drepresed. "... Wait..." Twilight perked up. "Um... i'm sorry for screaming at you. Is there anything i can do to make it up?" "You can take a shower with me." ~~~~~~~ As Lan went outside, he had just gotten some supplies to start his journey... well sorta... "I can't believe I just did that..." Lan thought. "I had just taken a shower with..." Rainbow Factory Rainbow Factory Rainbow Factory Rainbow Factory "OH GOD MEMORIES... wait what was I thinking about?" Lan didn't know, he had one goal today... you just took a shower with Twilight. "FUCK YOU NARRATOR!!!" Mad? Lan took flight, he had almost forgotten that he was a alicorn. Lan loved to fly. As a kid, Lan had wanted to become a superhero, as in every kids dreams. As Lan scanned the town, he saw that there was no sign of anyone acting suspicious. There was no way he was going to find anyone like this. Lan hovered the ground, then almost hit someone, which caused him to go back up. "Well that went fast." Lan thought, then he spotted something weird. He was over the apple farms when he spotted Applejack being helped by someone other than Big Mac. "Jackpot." ~~~~~~~ "That. Felt. Amazing." Twilight had been blushing since the second she stepped in the bathroom, now about 30 minutes after the shower incident. She wrote in her diary, and when she was done, she took out another paper and started to write a letter to Celestia. Although she wouldn't tell her what directly what happened, she was going to need some advice. "Spike! I need you to send a letter for me!" ~~~~~~~ "Hey there Applejack and other person I have no idea who you are! How yall doin'!" Lan said with his most fake accent ever. "Well hey there sugercube! This is Zero. Also never do that again." Applejack stared at Lan, Lan stared at Zero, Zero stared at Applejack. This went on for about 2 minutes before both Applejack and Zero blinked. "I win!" Lan smiled. Zero was weird looking, with a vine green body and black and lime green tail, you could spot this guy out from a croud of hippies. He also had wings, like that matters. "So you did!" Applejack smiled back. "I'll let you two get to now each other." And with that she walked off. "Hey Zero, does this mean anything to you? Love and tolerance." Zero blinked. "Ok, how about '20% cooler'?" Zero blinked again. "Are you a fucking brony." Zero stared at Lan, which Lan was getting freaked out by. "OH MY GOD, YOUR A BR..." With that, Lan closed Zero's mouth shut. "Dude, don't scream it..." "Sorry, I wasn't expecting another brony to show up here." Zero giggled. "So, you used to be a human?" "One and only race..." "Cool... so, how is being a alicorn feel." It became a weird and silent moment. Lan could feel the nervousness twitching in his body. "So... trying to hook up with Applejack?" Lan broke the silence. "Yep, it's going to take a while, but it will be worth it." Zero started to drool. "I can't wait to tou..." "TOO FAR MAN!" "Sorry, got lost in trance." Both Lan and Zero laughed. "So how did you like... get here?" "I died." Lan stared at Zero. "Construction site. Fell off a building. I never did like heights." "Damn dude." "Yep..." "I'm back yall. Sorry, I felt that Granny needed something. Livin with her and you start to sense these things. So Zero, where are you staying at?" "Nowhere now, I mean, my family sorta. Disowned me." "Nice Zero. Reel her in with that and your sure to get her. Even thought that is cheap." Lan thought. "Oh, i'm sorry. Why don't you live here with me. You help me with the farm, and I feed ya!" "That sounds amazing, thank you!" "Ok then, i'll get you set up! You can talk too Lan till I call you, ok?" "Thank you so much!" Applejack smiled and trotted away. She seemed really happy. Lan knew they were going to get together. Hopefully Mac won't get all prissy. "Smart move there Zero, although a bit too overboard." "Cool, hey where are you staying?" "Twilight's house." "Sweet. You do anything sexy?" Zero smiled. "We took a shower together tod... REPRESSED MEMORIES!" "Haha nice." ~~~~~~~ Lan had left Zero to do his thing with Applejack. He could pull it off. But now Lan had nothing else to do. He felt weird just knowing that other people are here. "What if one tries to take Twilight away from me." Lan thought. What he was feeling felt wrong though. It wasn't that, or the fact that there will probably be a awkward silence at dinner time with Twilight. It felt like something was pulling him. He vanished from thin air. ~~~~~~~ "GAH!" Lan hit the floor hard. He had been teleported by Celestia. He knew it was her because it felt almost instant and more powerful. "Sorry, but I needed you now." "It's ok Princess...es?" Lan said while rubbing his head. Luna was standing next to Celestia, which was in her chair. "Hey." "Hi?" "So Luna, here he is. In person." "So you like... live in another world?" "Used. Now that i'm dead in that one, I can here." Lan was still rubbing his head. "Oh please let this end fast." Lan thought. Both Luna and Celestia looked at each other. "You can't leave this early?" Said Celestia "Shit can she read my mind?!" Lan thought. "No Lan, I can't..." She was waiting. "Good, because I thought you could." Lan stared at Luna, which was now face hoofing and sighing. "Please tell me this isn't the one tha..." "Luna." "Sorry." "It is. He's just a litt..." Celestia started. "WAIT YOU DID READ MY MIND!!!" Lan shouted. Both Luna and Celestia stared at Lan. "Sister, can I speak with Lan alone. You can speak with him some other time." "Ok." Luna dispersed in thin air. Magic. "Lan, I know you love Twilight. And it's quite obvious she loves you too..." Lan swallowed. "Lan, she wrote me a letter asking for advice to make you fall in love with her. When I first read it, I chuckled at it. It was quite silly. Lan, I want you to ask Twilight to be your marefriend." "What! I can't do that! I mean... she will say no." "Lan listen to me. She. Loves. You. And you love her too. I know this stuff. Magic and a little friendship tells you this. Do it Lan. Ask her." "..." Lan froze. He hasn't had a date in his life. He knows nothing about all that romance stuff. "You'll do fine." With that sentence, Celestia's horn glowed and sent Lan back to Twilight's house. ~~~~~~~ "OW!!!" Lan hit the floor again. "Why does she do that?" Lan looked at his bandage. All fine. "Well hey there Lan, just putting back some books. Have a talk with Celestia?" "Yep." Lan thought. She was preoccupied with her books so maybe he can ask her later. With that, Lan felt a stinging in his head. "Fine. Damnit all Celestia." "Hey Twilight?" "Yes Lan, that goes there, that goes..." "Will you be my marefriend?" Lan froze for the answer. "No." ~~~~~~~ (What a tweest!)
