We arrived there shortly after and found the room completely dark, "Hello anypony here?" I called out into the void. Then the lights blared to life and the entire room erupted with a gigantic "Surprise!" Luna was taken aback, she held her breath for a moment then squealed with happiness she ran to her sister and have her a big hug, It was nice to see Luna happy, she was very quiet and delicate, it was nice to know her sister cared about her. Luna received many presents and it seemed like this was the best experience she'd had in a long time. I tended to stay seated throughout the party, I felt a little out of it, I didn't feel important enough to really belong at this party I was her friend sure, but I felt like I took away from the party. 
Nearing the end of the party I tried to slip out one of the back doors, "Collin where are you going?" Twilight said from behind me, I froze and turned around, "Just for a walk, I've been sitting for a while." I said, Twilight gave me a look, and by the looks of it she wasn't impressed, "Well you can't go for a walk yet." she said I looked at her "Why not?" I asked her, "Well Luna asked me to come over and ask you if you'd like to dance." Twilight responded, I looked across the room at Luna and Celestia talking to each other, they glanced over in my direction and quickly averted their eyes when they noticed that I had looked over their way. "I guess that wouldn't hurt." I replied to Twilight, I walked across the floor and over to Luna, "Twilight said you would like to dance?" I said to Luna, she looked back at me, "Well, yes if that's okay that is..." She said blushing with a quiet voice, "Don't feel embarrassed, although I don't know how I'll dance with you." I admitted, Luna pointed out how the other ponies were dancing. Luna and me walked out onto the dance floor she hopped up to her hind legs and rested her front hooves upon my shoulders, although the weight was a tad over bearing at first I quickly distributed my weight so I could carry her more comfortably. We danced for a good 10 minutes before the music ended and resumed to a more active pace, Luna lifted off of me and we walked out towards the balcony. "That was really fun, thank you." Luna said to me, "Well don't mention it, after all it's the least I could do for your birthday Luna" I replied, "so what are you doing tomorrow" I asked, Luna looked at me and then looked up to the sky, "I didn't have anything planned for tomorrow actually." She said, "Well then how about I take you out for brunch like I promised and we can go for a stroll through the gardens?" I suggested, "You don't have to do that, I know you we're just saying those things to get me to go to the Main hall." she said with a slight smile on her face, "I was serious Luna, I'd take you out for Brunch and we can go for that walk, in fact I'd really enjoy that." I said, her face brightened up and she said "That would be lovely." And so it was decided that I would stay the night in Canterlot and we would meet up again tomorrow.

I walked out of the Castle around 10:00 pm, I glanced around and decided I'd best find an Inn to sleep in. "Collin wait!" I turned and found Luna Galloping over to me, she caught her breath and said "You have no need to leave, you may stay at the castle, you're always a welcome guest!" she smiled to soften the gesture. "Thanks Luna, I'd really appreciate that." I said with yawn at the end. I was incredibly tired, it had been a long day. "Here, let me carry you in." Luna offered, "No Luna that's not needed I can..." I fell asleep on the spot. "oh my... he really is tired Luna, Come let's get him to bed." Celestia said to her sister, "He's so nice Celest, I can't believe we've been blessed with such a good friend. he treats us like friends and treats us like Royalty when the time is needed, he truly is a gift." Luna said to herself.

I woke up the next morning and started to freak out, I had no idea where I was after all. I looked around the room, "Perfect, I pass out and wake up, wherever the hell I am." I got myself together and headed towards the door It wasn't locked so I thought I was in a safe place. "Good morning Collin where are you off to?" somepony said to me, I turned around to find that it was Celestia who was the one speaking. "Oh, uh Well I woke up and was going to meet Luna, I told her we'd go out and spend the day together." I said to her, "There's no need to look any further, next time try looking around the room a little more." Luna said from behind me. I turned around and faces her, I felt incredibly embarrassed that I hadn't even looked around thoroughly. Luna giggled as did Celestia when they saw the look on my face, "So shall we go then?" I asked Luna, "I guess it's a good time to go, it shall be noon in about two or so hours." Luna replied, I put on my jacket "Alright then let's go." I said with a warm smile. 

We started the walk down the hall, "So how have you been enjoying your time in Equestria?" Luna asked, "Well, it's been great, aside from the injuries last week I've loved it, and I do have you as a friend so I'd have to say, Equestria has been great to me." I replied, Luna looked at me for a moment, "Well that's good, and You're very kind" Luna replied with a warm smile.
We arrived at a local Canterlot café. A waiter pony trotted over to our table and asked "why hello princess!" He said in an obviously fake tone, "how may I help you and your, friend here?" he asked as he looked me up and down. "Just the menu's for now." Luna said. The waiter bowed and left, he returned with the menus' shortly after, "So what are you going to order?" Luna asked, I took a look at the menu, "The Pasta looks good." I replied, Luna then looked at her Menu, "I believe I'll have the Salad." she said, as soon as the she finished the Waiter appeared, "Alright great decisions!" He said and quickly ran to the kitchen. I looked at the empty space in my hands for a moment before looking up to see Luna giggling quietly. "What?" I asked, "You'll get used to being waited on hand and hoof when your with me or Celestia eventually." Luna replied grinning. I couldn't help but chuckle, 10 minutes passed as we talked about our experiences, then Luna asked something I wasn't prepared for. "So what was life like back in your world?" she asked. I thought about how the gloom was always around and how that humanity was always fighting, "Well Luna." I started, "My world was always fighting, but there was friendship, but not all friendships lasted, there was always war, terror, and unrest, It was a very gloom world to live in." I finished, "Well, that sounds awful." Luna replied. before we could speak again the waiter brought our food back and we began to eat. after finishing I paid the Bill as I said I would the night before, "So what shall we do next?" I asked Luna s we left, "Well, I wouldn't mind getting out of here, there's far too much attention for my liking." Luna whispered into my ear. I looked around to see a lot of Paparazzi lurking and snapping photos of Luna and I, "Take my hand." I said to her, "Hand? what's that?" She asked me, I forgot that I was the only one with hands. I wiggled my hands and showed her, "oh, silly me!" she giggled, I took her hand and we disappeared in a bright Flash of light. 
We reappeared inside the Castle. "Since when can you teleport?" Luna asked shockingly, "I can't I was just hoping that would've worked out and not backfired on me." I said blankly. "You should know better Collin." She lectured me, Honestly never expected her to do that. "well you said we should go somewhere else?" I started to say but was cut off "Well next time find a different way okay!?" Luna said with a raised voice, She then started a fast paced trot down the hallway. I had to run to keep up with her, she started going faster until I was full out sprinting, I managed to speak out for a moment "Luna! wait up!" I yelled ahead of my, she was gaining ground, I deployed my wings and flew up beside her, "what's going on?" I yelled over the wind in my ears. She skidded to a halt unfortunately I was flying and smashed into the wall and bounced off. Luna walked over to me, "Come with me." she said in a low quiet voice, "yep, I'm fine" I said stumbling back to my feet. We continued to walk towards what I guessed was the main library. She used her magic to lower a book from the top shelf of the book case, "Have you heard of the legends of Nightmare moon?" Luna asked me, "Luna, Stop. I already know that you we're banished to the moon upon a time, and that wasn't you that was somepony else." I said flatly. Luna looked shocked, "How do you know so much of all of us, if you've never been to Equestria before?" Luna asked, before I could speak another voice rang out "Yes, how do you know so much of our land and our people?" Celestia said as she approached from behind. I thought, "what do I say?" I thought to myself, "Do you wish to hear the truth?" I asked them. They exchanged looks and nodded, "In my world you we're a form of fiction, something that wasn't real, I thought I was dreaming when I first came into Equestria, but that was 3 years ago." I said grimly, I looked down at the floor. "You mean to say that your world knows of us too? and that they could enter our world the same way you did?" Celestia asked, I shook my head "I have no idea if they can get here or not princess. I think I just got lucky to be honest." I said looking at them. "Collin, I need to know what your kind is like, If they are dangerous we must close the entrance to Equestria, it's endangering us and your world." Celestia said. "Are you okay with us looking through your memories from birth?" Celestia asked. I thought, They'll banish me if they find out how bad humanity is...."Sorry no." I said, I spread my wings and smashed through the Large window within the Library, I went full speed towards The Everfree. "He's worried." Celestia said to Luna, "Why is he afraid?" Luna asked, "I believe he thinks' we'll banish him if we learn that his kind is so different from him." Celestia continues, "they can't all be bad." Luna says. "Nonetheless, we must find him." Celestia Finishes.

dark, Wet, and bitterly cold. The Everfree seemed simple enough at first, but I'd already been lost for a good hour. The forest was as bad at daytime as it was at night. I'd noticed some royal guards had been flying overhead for the first few hours and they returned every other hour. "Perfect, they're looking for me." I cursed to myself. I folded my wings in and entered a hollow tree. I sat inside and thought of what to do. I sighed, well I might as well head back and accept the punishment. I looked up to see all the Guards flying away? "Wha-Whats going on?" I said aloud I spread my wings and lifted up into the Air, I saw a great big Dragon bearing down on a Guard, "Perfect." I thought to myself. I used my Magic to create a Long sword, The Blade dark blue and the hilt being a bright silver. "Hey Fire face!" I called out to the Dragon, It stopped and looked at me, It then rushed towards me, I readied myself knowing this was way too risky. I started to race towards it Blade ready, The dragon let out a large volley of flames, I steered away came back around and let out a cry as I slashed across its Side. I came back around the see that it did nothing, "Perfect, extra thick scales." I cursed, I used my magic to generate a set of armor and a shield. "I'm heavier but have more protection now." I thought to myself. The dragon yet out a loud roar and rushed at my yet again, this time it's claws out. I flew straight towards it, This was going to hurt. I slammed into the dragon with a massive amount of speed, so much that I knocked the dragon from the sky, I took my sword and drove down through the skies and cut through his weak belly area. It was dead. I drew my sword from the corpse, I turned around to confronted by a vast amount of guards as well as Celestia and Luna. "well it seems you're quite helpful as well kind." Celestia said, I just stood there, "if you hadn't of distracted the Dragon he may of made it to Canterlot you know." Luna said, "Like I said, I'll always help, no matter what." I sheathed the Sword into its harness. I turned to walk away, "Collin wait," Celestia started "We'll not banish you no matter how bad your world was, you're different, you're better, you're a friend." Celestia finished. I turned to look at them, "please stay." Luna said "You're one of the best, No you are the best friend I've ever had." Luna finished. "let's go home." I said as my Wings expanded from behind me. "oh my..." Luna said as she held a hoof near her mouth, "What is it?" I asked "Guards carry him to the castle." Celestia ordered, "Wait, what why?" I asked, "Your wing is torn, very badly." Celestia explained. It was a rather long flight being as I had to be carried, I used my magic to give the Guards a bit of extra energy to use so we could get there faster.
