“Odd name,” Twilight said with the curiosity still there, as I looked away from her, to the glass. 
“You're name is odd to me as well.” I then see aura appear around the glass again as it flew to the other side of the room, she then placed it under a water fountain, murmuring words of excitement while she did this. 

Then placing it back where I put it moments ago. 
“Thanks” I said as calmly as I could, and I quickly drank it down. 
“Do you want another refill?” 
“No, I'm fine now.” I said while setting the glass back where it was.

“Um. Are you actually OK?” I can hear great concern in her voice for me. I'm a little shocked at her concern, and I simply replied with a no. 

“How bad was it. Transporting from different worlds I mean?” 
“No comment” I quickly replied.
“You need to give me answers first!” saying this to Twilight while looking into her eyes. 

She then walked over to the couch that was only a couple of steps away from her and sat down.
“OK, what do you want to know?” she said looking at me, still with curiosity and some more of the fear gone.

I was honestly surprised that she would give me answers without resistance. 
“Explain in every detail, what just happened to me.” She looked at me and began to speak. 
“I was ordered to use a spell from a book, that’s next to your left hoof on that table.” I looked at the book as she continued to speak. 
“And be prepared for a being not from are world to appear.” I looked back at her when she paused and got her to continue again. 
“And.. Try to befriend him.”

She looked at me with some guilt in her eyes. I stared at her with no expression. 
“Not enough details!” I said with no change of emotion, but I could see surprise in her eyes by my words.
“Who ordered you!?” I quickly said at her, with rage beginning to build again. 
“Princess Celastia.” 
“Who gave you the book?"
“Princess Celastia.” 

I looked away, and thought about the princess from the show... show... SHOW!? Oh shit! They probably don’t know about that I've watch a show about them, better yet they don't even know about the show? I looked back at Twilight with no expression on my face, like earlier and said. “Who is this... Celastia?” 

I need to hide the fact that I already know about this world and major inhabitants of the shows existence.

Twilight's eyes light up at the question I asked and began to speak again to replay.
“Princess Celastia is the ruler of are kingdom, Equestria and the one who raises the sun along with her sister, Princess Luna, who raises the moon, I’m also the student of Princess Celastia!” The replay I suspected, shes just like the character in the show.

“Now, what do you mean by. Befriend him?!” I said this showing some anger in my face and voice. 
“I'm... I'm sorry, I clearly don't know.” Twilight said looking down, I can see the guilt and fear of me in her eyes again. I sighed as she continued. 
“I still don’t clearly know whats going on.”
“Neither do I, and, Sorry, I'm starting to push my stress on you.” I looked away saying this, but in the corner of my eye I can see her look back at me with some relief in her eyes.

“So, Jack, can I, ask you a question now?”
“Sure,” I replied. “After you refill my glass!” I quickly grabbed the glass threw it fast up in the air over my head. Quickly the aura appeared around it, and flew back to the fountain.
“Nice catch,” I quickly said.

The glass was then refiled by the fountain, then placed back where it was before I threw it. She looked at me with a slight smile on her face as I picked the glass up for another drink, I can easily tell she knew that I was testing her.

After taking a quick sip I looked at her and said, “Shoot.” 

Her left ear flinched, not clearly knowing what I meant. A small spark appeared in her eyes as she got ready to speak. “How was it. Transporting between worlds I mean?”

I looked at her for a moment as the evil laugh went through my mind. I looked away picking the glass back up taking another sip. Still holding the glass, I said, “Felt like I was about to die.”

I could see the pure shock and fear of the information I told her, as she stumbled to try to speak. “I... I... I'm... Oh my, I'm greatly sorry! I... I had no intention of that happening!” She was still sitting there with the same face. 

While I looked completely calm, and took another sip from my drink and said, “Its alright, that wasn't my first time with the feel of death.”

I looked back at Twilight seeing even more shock in her eyes.
“Wasn't you're first time?” She said under her breath.

I quickly looked away. Flashbacks began rushing through my mind, as the nausea returned. I quickly picked the glass back up and drank all the liquid in it trying to get my mind else where. I turned around seeing the unicorn in deep thought. I then looked at the glass, realizing how tired I am right now. I walked over to the fountain refiling the glass my self this time.


After the glass was filled, I looked at Twilight, who was also looking at me with, question, guilt, and fear, clearly in her eyes. I forced my self to look away at the site of her mental misery. Silence was all you can hear for a couple of minutes.

I looked at her again seeing her look at her front hoofs still in the same emotional situation. “You alright, Twilight?” I finally said to break the silence and put her back in reality. Stumbling multiple times, she finally said yea.

She looked at me again and I could see uncertainty in her eyes. “You look tired, Mister Jack.”
I let out a small chuckle and said “Please, just Jack.”
“OK, then” Was her replay as she stepped off of the couch.
“I have a place for you to sleep, if you want?” I was surprised by this offer.
“We barely just meet and you're offering me a place to sleep in you're home?”

She quickly replied with, “I don't know clearly whats going on right now, and I can tell the same for you.” She turned around and continued.
“And the only thing I can think of that would be any help right now is to calm down and get some sleep.” I notice the pure lack of energy in her face and voice.


I nodded my head and began fowling her, tell she showed me a room with a bed. And said I can stay here for the night. I thanked her as I walked into the room, turning around seeing her already walking to her room I presumed. I closed the door walked to the bed. And... Simply put my head into the palm of my hands saying, “what the fuck!” After a moment I realized sleeping on a situation like this doesn't seem much like Twilight. I laughed a little, Well she was diffidently not prepared for this event, neither was I.


I looked around the room turning on a lamb next to the bed. I see a mirror next to the door to the main room. I stood up walked to the mirror to see myself. I looked to tired for my own good, turning around back to the bed, sitting on it and kicking off my shoes, trying to keep sane. I then notice a red book next to the lamp I turned on earlier, I picked it up and read the cover. “Need to Know knowledge of Equestria.” How convenient, I laid down on the bed barely long enough for my height, open the book and begin reading.


I'm beginning to lose my sanity again...
