Edaniel finally finished playing with the bunnies, after about two hours of non-stop fun, of course. "What would you like for lunch?" Asked Fluttershy. She walked towards him, expecting an answer......That his stomach gave for him. "Oh my. When is the last time you ate something?" She asked with deep concern. Which he earned with the unholy gurgling noise his stomach was making. "Urhm.......... A day.... I think." He said after a few seconds thought. He realized that he had just told exactly the wrong pony exactly the wrong thing, at exactly the wrong time. 'Well..... Crap.' "What?! You poor thing! Let me make you a full dinner!" She offered/stated. "I'm fine. Really." He tried (And failed) to stop her. 'Freakin stomach. You couldn't have done that in my sleep, or yesterday?!!' "No, no, no, no. I insist. Now you just sit down and wait for your food. I'll be done as fast as I can." She told him while trotting into the kitchen, in search of ingredients. "She tends to over-react. Huh?" He asked Angel, who was currently doing an impressive Bugs Bunny impression with a carrot in his mouth. Angel simply nodded. Edaniel returned the gesture and looked for something else to do while waiting. He found a small turtle (moving at Internet Explorer league speeds) heading towards him. He slowly scooped the little guy...or girl up and set it down on his lap. The turtle snuggled itself into his legs and lay down. (For the record. Since Edaniel was recently turned into a pony. He still sits like a human.) A few moments later, Fluttershy fluttered into the room clamping a bowl of vegetable stew in her hooves. She set aside half a second to glance at his peculiar seating style, but immediately refocused on the task at hoof. She pulled out a small table and set down his food. "Here you go. Nice and steamy, but make sure you blow on it. It's very warm." She stated as she turned to him. He had been alerted of the foods delicious properties, simply by the god-like smell that came off of it. "It looks delicious, Fluttershy. Aren't you going to have some?" He questioned her motives after she had not returned to the kitchen to make herself some. "Oh, of course. I'll make myself some right now." She said, remembering that she needed to eat too. Edaniel dug into his stew. The only possible backfire to this stew, was that he burned his tongue several times. He still, obviously, continued eating, for this was the most amazing thing he had ever eaten in his life. He finished soon enough, and was perplexed to see that Fluttershy had not walked out of the kitchen with her food yet. He walked into the kitchen to see what was taking her, and saw that she had barely even started to make it. 'I suppose she doesn't need to hurry now that I'm full' Edaniel realized. He walked up behind her, making sure to alert her of his presence. He didn't want her to go Spiderpony on him and cling to the ceiling out of sheer terror simply because he had accidentally scared her. "Hello. You're finished? Already?" She asked, wondering how he could have done it, because that stew was extremely hot. "You want some help?" Edaniel asked. He walked towards her food-making station. "Sure. Please give me that right there." She pointed to an ear of corn. He grabbed it with his hoof (Because, screw logic) and passed it to her. "Thank you." She stated simply. ~One Stew Later~ "Thanks for the help, Edaniel." She said. "No problemo." He promised. "I think that I'll go explore the town." Edaniel suddenly stated. "Okay, just be sure to be back before dark." She warned him. "Yes ma'am!" Edaniel said with a salute. "Later, Fluttershy." Edaniel sent the words over his shoulder with a turn of his head while walking out. "Bye." She said with a small smile. 'I like this place. I should make some new friends, and meet the rest of the Elements while I'm at it. I should head to work first, though.' Edaniel concluded his route through town in his head, while his legs carried him into town. He arrived at the Cafe within a few minutes. He walked in to see Cater Way at his usual station. "Hey Cater Way." Edaniel said with a wave of his hoof. Cater Way waved back at him and waited for him to get to the podium. "Hey Edaniel. How is it going?" Cater way asked his new friend. "Pretty good. I just moved in with a friend." Edaniel half-informed his friend of his new accommodations. "Well, that's great. Where do you live now?" Cater Way prompt him. "I live in the cottage outside of Ponyville." Edaniel informed him. "Really? With Fluttershy?" Cater asked disbelievingly. "Eeyup." "Okay. Today you can have the day off, Edaniel. Because you just moved, and all." He informed Edaniel. "Really? Thanks Cater." Edaniel said in gratitude. "It's no problem. It's not right to just keep you at work when you just moved into a completely different place." Cater promised. 'You have no idea.' "Thanks. IIIIIII guess I'll head to the library to check out some books." Edaniel decided. "That sounds fine. You go enjoy your day off." Cater told Edaniel. "Okay, bye!" Edaniel said while walking out. "Bye." Edaniel headed for the library first. Out of the corner of his eye, Edaniel noticed Ditsy, eating a muffin at a table by herself. 'So, the stories are true.' He trotted towards her. She gradually became aware of somepony coming nearer. She turned to see her new friend closing their distance. "Hey Edaniel!" She said happily. "Hey Ditsy. I see you like Blueberry." Edaniel said, noticing that her muffin was the flavor of delicious. "Yep. How's it going?" She happily answered and asked him. "Great. You?" He asked. "I'm doing great!" She happily answered, once again. They sat down and talked for a while. They discussed each others day, and his new housing. After about an hour, they decided to part way. "Bye Ditsy." Edaniel sent her off. "Bye Edaniel." She answered, in her usual happy demeanor. The two parted ways as Ditsy headed home, and Edaniel to the library. He arrived and knocked; expecting Spike, the baby dragon, to answer. He was surprised to see Twilight answer the door. "Hello there. How may I help you." She greeted him with a smile. "Hello miss. I am Edaniel, and I'm here to pick out a book or two." Edaniel explained. "Oh. In that case. Come on in. I'm Twilight Sparkle, by the way. I am Ponyville's resident librarian" She said with a new smile. "Thanks. It is nice to meet you, Twilight Sparkle." He told her. "It is very nice to meet you too, Edaniel." She replied "What kind of book would you like?" She asked him as they reached the shelves. "I would like the first Daring Do book and some Equestrian history books. I would also like you to recommend a book for me." He rattled off his choices. "Okay, I'll get you just that." She said as she grabbed the books for him. The first was a book called "Equestrian history and famous ponies". Another was "Daring Do And The Quest For The Sapphire Stone". The next was the most famous My Little Pony Book ever created. It was a simple Brown book with small twisting patterns, that seemed to have half a Fleur De Lis on each tip, at its four edges. It's cover picture was a Golden Alicorn head. This book was famous for being the absolute first thing seen on the first episode. "This one is called Equestria's most famous fables and tall tales." Twilight informed him. "Alright, thanks Twilight." He said while looking at the cover of the fabled book. "Do you want to check them out now, or do you want to read them for a while?" She asked. "I think that I'll stay here for a while and read. Thank you." He answered. Edaniel sat down in one of the chairs that are an abundance in the library. He started off reading 'Daring Do And The Quest For The Sapphire Stone'. Twenty Minutes Later 'Well, that was a nice book.' Edaniel thought on his way out of the library. He had read the first thirteen chapters of Daring Do, and decided to explore Ponyville some more. He began by walking to Sugarcube Corner, to see the cakes and/or Pinkie Pie. It took a little backtracking, failing, direction taking, and just getting lost, until he found the sweets shop. A few ponies were going about their business around the shop, some talking, some buying goods, some just walking. One of them turned towards him as he walked by, and said "Hi there. Are you new in town?" "Yes. I am." Edaniel answered. "It's nice to meet you. My name is The Doctor, but most ponies just call me Clockwork." Doctor greeted Edaniel. "TARDIS." Edaniel simply stated. The Doctor's eyes went wide and his mouth went agape. His lips were moving, but no sound was coming out. "I'll tell you later." Edaniel promised. The Doctor simply nodded his head. Edaniel began his walk to the shop once more. He noticed that there were a few ponies in the shop already. 'Guess I'll be waiting in line for a while.' Edaniel didn't have to wait for very long. The shop was very efficient, so many ponies received their orders quickly. Edaniel kept himself occupied by thinking about what had happened to get him here. 'I wonder what Project Portal Through means. I wonder what the guys are doing since my disappearance. I wonder if they were blamed....OH GOD. WHAT IF THEY WERE?!?!?' Edaniel made a split second decision. He ran out of the shop and galloped to Fluttershy's cottage as fast as he could. He reached her cottage and quickly ran for an area by the door, where he kept his money, and grabbed all of it in his mouth, and thought about what he was doing for a moment. He decided that what he was doing was rash and wouldn't work out in the end, so he headed back to Sugarcube Corner. The crowd in the small bakery had thinned considerably, meaning that he was the only one there. "Well, hello there deary!" Mrs. Cake chirped from behind the counter. "I saw you hurry out of here earlier. What was that all about?" She asked "It was nothing. I just forgot something before I came to visit." He replied. "Okay then. How is your day?" She asked with her usual cheeriness. "It's grea-" He was cut off suddenly by a blur of pinkness that tackled him, and sat atop him. She chattered at a speed the was incomprehensible to most. Edaniel had used this speed of words several times in his life and could understand it just fine. "Hithere.Myname'sPinkiePie.What'syourname?You'renewintown,soI'mgoingtothrowyouasuperduperhugeamazingtasticalpartyofwelcomeness.Thatsoundgood?" She blasted off her welcome. "Ahem" "MynamesEdaniel.It'sreallynicetomeetyou.Howhasyourdaybeen?Thatsaoundsgreat.I'dloveaparty.Youcomfortableupthere?" He said, matching her speed. She didn't miss a beat. "My day's been great. I can't wait to throw you a party. It's been a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really"(135,489,657,125,357 people were so lazy that they didn't read all those really's, or that number :D) "long time since somepony could talk as fast as me. It's super duper uper luper comfortable up here. What kinda shampoo do you use on your coat?" She said. "I love talking like that, but some ponies can't understand it, so I don't usually talk like that. Thanks, I don't remember what kind I use." Edaniel said as she got up off of him. The two untangled themselves from each other, and looked at the Cakes, who for the record, didn't pass out.They were pretty close though......Wait, there goes Mrs. Cake.....And Mr. Cake. "Awe. I wonder what happened." They said simultaneously. "I should get going now. It's getting dark. By the way, I'm staying with Fluttershy." Edaniel told Pinkie. "Really? Are you two related?" She asked with her best 'what?' face on. "Yep. Nope. She's giving me a place to stay while I don't have enough money to buy a house." "Hello there Pinkie. Hello Edaniel. I was just coming here to tell you that Edaniel was here." Fluttershy said as she walked in. "Oh, hi Fluttershy!" Pinkie yelled. "Well, now that you know, I'll head home. Be home soon Edaniel." She said quietly as she walked backward to the door. "I was planning on coming anyway. I'll walk you home." He said with a smile. "Okay. BYE EDANIEL. BYE FLUTTERSHY!" Pinkie yelled as she turn around to tend to the unconscious Cakes. The two waved goodbye to her. They began their walk home. About halfway there, they spoke. "So, how was your day?" She asked him. "Pretty good. How was yours?" He replied. "It was great. The animals really like you. You know." "Great. I kinda just feel like going to sleep right now though." "Okay. I'll make sure that you're nice and comfortable." "Thank you, Fluttershy. For letting me stay here, for letting me be your friend, and for helping me out in general." "It's nothing, Edaniel" She turned to him and replied sincerely. "Thank you for being my friend, and for being friends with the animals." She said as she smiled and looked him in the eyes. "No problem, Flutters." He said as he put his foreleg around her. "Eap" She yelped, from either the sudden gesture or use of nickname. After a few minutes, she was smiling a little more and they were walking peacefully down the path to the cottage. It was peaceful, and he was happy that she seemed happy. "Thanks Edaniel." She said as they walked inside. "It's no problem. I think that I'll go to bed now, ShyShy." He said with a weary smile, as he lay down on the couch. "I thought it was Flutters." She said in confusion, with a small blush. "I can't choose, so I'll just use both." He said as his breathing began to drift into an even pattern, and his eyelids fluttered a few times, before finally laying against each other for rest. Fluttershy walked up the stairs after telling Angel and Edaniel goodnight. Edaniel muttered something incomprehensible, and Angel just shooed her away. She lay down in bed and went over today's events in her mind. After reliving the moments of her day, she let her mind whisk her away into the dreamy wonderland of the night. She slowly closed her eyes, and let her body relax. Her mind left it's usual state, and drifted into sleep. Somewhere, an immeasurable distance away, a group of boys went to sleep, wondering where their best friend could've gone. The last to go to sleep was Joey. 'Where are you Edaniel? What happened? Are you okay?' He asked his mind. A whisper echoed throughout his room. It said "Do you want to know? Do you want to see him?". "Yes. I do. Where is he? Can you take me to him?" Joey didn't care if the voice was in his head, or if he was going crazy. He listened to it, because the voice was Edaniel's.
