Chapter 8
For the full effect on Twilight, I don't stand up until I get outside. When I do, she looks up at me with something bordering on fear.
"I don't want to scare anybody, so I'll just tell you now. The thought of hurting ANY of you, in any way possible, horrifies and disturbs me. I repeat: I will not hurt you."
Her face relaxes somewhat, and we head towards town.

The moment I step into Ponyville, heads turn. Ponies whisper, look at me with a mix of fear and wonder. We go by the spot where the target thing is. It's being taken apart. As we head to the library, I can hear ponies following. I can also hear their cameras. I tell Twilight, and as the first flash goes off, she zaps each camera with her horn. Wow. First magic I've seen, and its being used to defend me. The cameramen (camera-ponies?) seem pretty angry, but Twilight throws them a menacing look. They back off. All but one. He nervously approaches me with a notepad and pen. Twilight moves to stop him, but I'm cool with this guy. I go over to him and kneel down next to him. He's pretty scared now.
"U-um, do you have any, um, comment at this time, um, sir?" He asks.
"Well, yes. Yes I do. I would like everypony to know that I am not, I repeat, am not going to harm you. I have no idea how or why I am here, but I am here. Also, I am not any kind of monkey. Please don't call me a monkey. I am a human. H U M A N. thank you."
The reporter pony thanked me and trotted out of there.
I turned to Twilight and followed her into her tree.
