"So what's your name!?" The frizzy haired pony asked breaking my current thoughts. I went back to my calm posture and thought of a name. I didn't want to give my real name because for 1: I don't think it would be considered a pony name, 2: I want to make sure Kram has as little as a lead as possible. I thought of some pretty good ones like: Flintlock and Bionic but then my red matter hidden blade fell from my leg. I realized it was stuck in the watch I was wearing, everything else I had must be stored in my other form. I'm a fast thinker so this only took me a second to come up with this name.

"My name is Hidden Blade." I answered finally speaking. My voice had changed a bit and was lower than my last voice. I put the hidden blade tucked back in my watch without Pinkie Pie noticing. I thought hidden blade was appropriate because that's what I'm trying to be: hidden. "that's a cool name! Where are you from?" She asked.

She wasn't giving me a break, so once again I went to my mind for a made up answer. "Out of town." I finally said, it was an awful answer but I was stumped on places, I had no idea what places this world held. "My house recently burned down so I was forced to come here." I added before she could say another word. "*gasp*, are you ok!? Is your family ok, is your possessions ok?" She began asking a million questions. "I'm ok, it was just me in the house, and I lost most of my possessions." I answered swiftly and as fast as she could dish them out. "Thank goodness your ok, was it because of you magic?" She asked looking above my eyes and to my forehead. "My wha-*" I began, and then I noticed a horn on top of my head.

Great I'm a unicorn. How more girly does it get. But magic, there's no such thing as magic, only atoms and electrons. Even in a different dimension, my little pony couldn't be that out there could it? Well it can and is.

"Yeah. my magic..." I said going along with it. I noticed the sun falling below the hills and darkness begin to engulf me and my new companion, I suppose. "Now my next problem seems to be the fact of me being homeless." I thought aloud. "I have an idea, you can stay with me for the night!" Pinkie said, I didn't expect her to be listening. "Huh, oh right, yes that would be good." I said. I suppose it wouldn't be too bad, right?

"Follow me!" She said as she began walking. I followed. "let me tell you about myself so I'm not a stranger to you anymore." she said and she began rambling on about herself. I tuned her out and returned to my thoughts. I think this would work good, Kram would never expect me to be here, he knows I find my little pony annoying. But my name sounds too me, which isn't good, but I can't change it now. 

I then thought of my escape, how am I going to get home! I guess all I needed was red matter. Wait, do these ponies even know what red matter is? They must know somewhat, they're magic must be made of it. "Hey Pinkie-* Never mind" I knew asking her was the wrong thing to do. She probably had no clew what matter even was. "Are you listening!?" She asked since I interupted her with that random sentence. "Yes I am." I lied. "Hey Pinkie." I heard another voice say. "Hey Rainbow Dash." Pinkie replied. I noticed a blue Pegasus hovering above us. "Whose the unicorn beside you?" She asked. "Oh this is Hidden Blade, my new friend!" She said. I was suprised I was titled 'friend' already. 

"Yes that's my name, nice to meet you." I extended my hoof to her for a hand shake, if they do that. "nice to meet you, too." She said shaking it. I guess they do. "Anyways, I still have a few weather preparations for tomorrow, see ya later." She said flying off. Weather preparations? You can't prepare weather, you can prepare for it but not it itself. "Well, here we are!" She said gesturing to the craziest looking structure I've ever seen. "Are you sure that's not a desert?" I asked. She giggled and said "I'm sure, its a house." She said walking to it. I followed, great, I never knew that ponies lived in food. Does that mean they eat building materials?!

I walked in and the inside looked relitively normal, exept for al the pink. But that figures. "This Sugar Cube Corner, a bakery." She said. She lived in a bakery, seriously. "Neat." Is all I could manage. she took me upstairs to what I guessed was her room.  "You can have the bed." She said. "Thanks." I said. I walked past a mirror and got a first view of my new body. 

It was orange with a yellow mane and tail. My mane and tail were messy, but not as messy as Pinkie Pie's. My horn stood on top of my head and I still couldn't believe I was a unicorn. I had to admit, for the ponies I've seen, I look pretty good, maybe a little mane fix up. There was also my watch with the hidden blade still tucked in it. Then it beeped. I lifted the watch to my view and saw that it had 10% of battery remaining.
