"Would you like a cupcake?" Pinkie asked, while balancing a cupcake on her nose. She took a step towards the capsule, and lost her balance.
"Whoops!"
The cupcake sailed through the air, going straight through Dr.Light's hologram body, and landed on the ground with a splat.
"My glorious cupcake!" Pinkie cried while burying her face in her hooves. The others simply looked shocked for a moment. Twilight recovered first.
"Don't mind Pinkie. She's always like that."
Doctor Light gave a hearty laugh. "No worries here, Miss Sparkle. I think I might enjoy my time here." He then turned to X. "Now, X. Did you need anything?"
"Well first of all," X pointed to the shattered remains of the shed. "I should probably fix up Fluttershy's shed."
Dr.Light nodded. "I suppose you could go punch some trees for the wood needed."
"Now hold on a minute," Applejack interjected. "What's this about punching trees?"
"Come with me then, girls." X said. "Of course, the Princess is also welcome to come."

The ponies (and Spike, who had not been mentioned by anypony thus far) followed X back into the Everfree Forest. He looked around for a good tree for wood, and after a quick scan he chose a sturdy looking tree. He then proceeded to punch the tree repeatedly until it crashed to the ground. X pulled out the Z-Saber from his back and sliced off the top branches of the tree.
Didn't think I'd ever use this to chop wood, old friend.
The ponies (especially Applejack, whose jaw dropped to the ground) watched with a bewildered expression as X lifted the tree onto his shoulder and carried it back to Fluttershy's back garden.

After arriving back at Fluttershy's back garden, the Princess bid farewell after the guards reported no injuries or property damage had occurred.
"I still have responsibilities back at Canterlot. I'll be back soon," Princess Celestia said. "Make sure to give our guest a good impression of our land." She smiled.
"Write back soon!" Twilight cried as Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at her. Everyone waved as the Princess entered her royal carriage and the guards flew off. X soon turned his attention to the tree he had brought back, saber in hand.

"X, all you did was chop those trees into planks and stack them like building blocks. How can this building possibly hold its own against even a strong wind?!"
Twilight had been pestering X ever since he started chopping trees into planks and began stacking them on top of each other like building blocks, complaining how the planks would simply topple over if something hit it, among other things. Unbeknownst to her, X had simply turned his audio receptors off as he continued to chop trees into planks with his Z-Saber, occasionally venturing back to the Everfree and returning with another tree, and stacking the planks in a neat pile behind him.
Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were lounging around in the garden. Applejack had wanted to help, but she couldn't possibly lift a whole tree by herself, and she couldn't cut said tree into planks. She decided on sitting down and begrudgingly watched X continue to cut trees.
"I reckon that he'd be a great help on the barn," Applejack said quietly to herself.
Fluttershy and Rarity had retreated back into the cottage to talk over a cup of tea, occasionally looking outside to check on how X was doing. Rarity almost spit out her tea when she saw the large pile of wood behind X, and complimented him on his speed in making each plank precisely the same dimensions. X, however, did not hear her, seeing that his audio receptors were still off. Rarity simply attributed this to X's undivided attention to cutting wood, and went back inside the cottage.
After a while of woodcutting, X stared at the plot of land where the shed used to be. His eyes surveyed the land, carefully calculating every angle, every dimension that would be needed for this project. He looked to the sides; the ponies were still doing whatever it was that they were doing. Slowly, X stood up and quietly walked downtown. It would be a nice way to repay the ponies that had shown him nothing but kindness.
This will be perfect.
X looked up at the sun. It was past midday, and his plans would have to wait.
Not now. Later.

A few days later...
X walked around Ponyville, with ponies greeting him all along the way. They had been a bit cautious at first, but after the dragon incident they seemed to have opened up to him. He had decided to visit Twilight and Spike, as well as checking out a book or two. X dashed to the library in ten seconds flat, with the added advantage of not damaging the library in any way whatsoever by braking almost instantly. He walked into the library and saw Spike, who was busy reorganizing the bookshelves.
"Hey, Spike!" X called out. "How's my favorite biped doing?" X waved his hand.
"Oh, hey X! Did you need anything?" Spike jumped down from the ladder he was on. The two had become fairly close friends, seeing how they were the few males around Ponyville, as well as being the only bipeds.
"I just wanted to take a look around. Where's Twilight?"
"She's just at the old bookstore. Book hunting as always."
X nodded at Spike, and continued to walk around the bookshelves, scanning for any books of interest. A bright red book caught his attention, and he pulled it out of the shelf.
"101 Basic Spells for Adolescent Unicorns?"
