Chapter 7

It's time for the part everybody hates... the Author's notes.

First I'd like to say that it's really great to be here on your computer. Now down to business, there are some problems that I would like to address. As some of you my have noticed I have tried my hand at a bit of drama in some of the earlier chapters. Well looking back at it I can't help but think that it was a bad Idea to try to mix comedy and drama (at least in the way I did). Unfortunately I had several more planed, and I want to keep to my original plan as much as possible. So what I'm going to try to do is take the drama less seriously.

Also what do you think of the lack of description for the main protagonist's past. I kind of like it, but I want to know what the audience thinks.

That's all for now. Enjoy the show.

Dear diary. It's been seven years since I came to Equestria. I Still can't find a way home. I've torn through countless books, and all I've discovered is how to cook the best deserts in the known universe.

I don't spend all my time looking through those dull books. Lets see what have I been doing. I've tried my hand at painting. Don't worry I burned them. Oh silly me, I bet your wondering how my potion skills are coming along. Well I'm no medical expert like my mentor Zecora, but I can make some really funny potions.

Okay, I have to tell this story. One time I accidentally mixed poison joke with a stink bomb I had been working on. I didn't have the guts to see what the concoction had become, so While I was deciding what to do with it this raccoon came in and went for the first thing he could grab. To his misfortune it was the joke, stink bomb mix. Turns out it makes the drinker do cherry scented farts for days on end. I was laughing for hours at his misery. I know I shouldn't laugh at others misfortune, but it was so funny. And to top it off he never stole from me again.

I'm still undiscovered for the most part. The only people that know of me are Zecora, Fluttershy, the Apple Family, The Fantastic Mr. Fart (the raccoon in the story I just told you, some of the other animals called him that after the incident and the name stuck), the animals in the local forest, and Benedictius. Benedictius a the gargoyle that lives on some nearby castle ruins. We met by accident while I was busy contemplating my place in the universe. Turned out that he loves gambling, so now we usually meet once a week to play chess. I swear he must be cheating. He has beat me at every game we've ever played. One time he made a move that I think severed no other purpose than to form the letter W with his pieces. There just no logic to his moves.

Well that all I can think to wright, so I think I'll end this diary entry right here.

Me and Benedictius where playing chess like we usually do. I was on the verge of pulling my hair out. “You cheater.”

“There's no need to cheat when your opponent is this bad at the game.” said benedictius with his smug smile that he always has when he's beating me.

“I'm not bad, your CHEATING ON ME.” I replied, but the truth is that I really was this bad at the game.

“Well if having actual skill is considered cheating in chess then guilty as charged. Oh by the way checkmate.” Said Benedictius

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” I yelled

knock knock knock

We both looked at my door. After a few seconds there was a second wave of knocks after which Benedictius asked. “Are you expecting anyone?”

“No, at least I don't think I am. Zecora has already come for her monthly visit.” I said

“Right” replied Benedictius telling me where were an the same page

“There’s Fluttershy, she's the yellow and pink one I think you meet her once.” I said

“Yea I think I remember her” said Benedictius

“But she only comes once or twice a year to do a medical checkup, and it's way to soon since my last checkup for it to be her.”

“Is there anyone else?” asked Benedictius.

“No, well actually there is the Apple Family, but we only see each other when I sneak into ponyville for a visit. They don't make the trek to my house. Oh well, lets see who it is. COME IN.” I said.

The door opened and Applejack walked in. She was startled when she notice the gargoyle in the room, but quickly regained her composer and said. “ Hi you must be Benedictius, Martian told me about you in his letters.”

“Yes that would be me. I was Actually just about to take my leave now that I've beaten Martian in another round of chess.” replied Benedictius. And with that he took his winnings and left.

After saying goodby to him I turned to Applejack and asked. “So what brings you this far into the woods?”

She shut the door and slowly turned to me; which me a little nervous. “Martian we need to talk.”

And that is all it took. I know what it means when a Woman shuts the door and want's to talk. It means your in trouble and she is going to beat you down where nobody can hear you. I was scared. “What did you need to say Apple jack?” I said with a nervous smile that did a poor job of hiding how truly frightened I really was.

“Martian ah know about you knowin' about us since before we met.” she said.

“Oh crap” I thought to myself. “So you found out about that.” I said my nervousness apparent in my voice.

“Martian stop climbin' out that window and sit down.” said Applejack

“Yes Ma'am.” I said

“Martian do you care to explain why ya didn't tell us this.” said Applejack.

“Us? But your the only one here.” I said.

“They're outside, ah told them that I wanted to talk to you first. Now quit dodging the question.” Applejack insisted.

“Two more things before I answer. One how did you find out. Two how much do you know.” I asked.

“Sorry Martian I can't answer that first question. For your other question. I Know that you come from another world. And that in that world we are somethin' like a fairytale. One that you have watched.” said Applejack.

“Okay fair enough. Well the truth Is really simple, I thought that you would be scared, mad, or think that I'm a psychotic lunatic, or even worse all of the above. However now that you know I feel like a gigantic weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Although out of curiosity what would you have done if I told you everything you know when I first meet you?” I accepted/confessed/and asked.

“Martian I've always thought of you as a little crazy, but in a good way. Anyway I'm glad this went as well as It did. I honesty expected we'd have to chase you down.” Applejack said.

“So should we meet the others so I may do a proper apology?” I said.

“Sure Martian.” Applejack said.

When we meet up with the others I gave them a proper apology and gave them the same explanation I gave Applejack. I invited them to stay the night and offered to cook them dinner. seeing that from my house was a two days away from ponyville I assumed that they would appreciate a warm place to stay for the night and a fresh cooked meal.

Later that night I was sitting around my fire pit watching the the embers die out when Fluttershy came up to me.

“Hay Martian.” Fluttershy said in her usual soft voice. “I've been meaning to ask, how has your research for finding a way home been going.”

I look at her and said. “Well to be honest not so great. Any transportation I've researched doesn’t have the power to take me home. The beat transportation spells like teleportation would take me a few miles at best. However I don't even know my way home form here. To make it worse any locator spell needs at least some basic knowledge of where what your looking for might be. So so make a long story short I'm coming to my wits end.” as I said this I started looking at the moon.

“Oh... I'm sorry to hear that Martian. But Martian you shouldn't give up. I'm sure that if you keep looking that you'll find your way home.” Fluttershy said.

“Don't worry Fluttershy I'm not going to give up.” I said. About that time an Idea struck me from looking at the moon. “Fluttershy I just got a idea.”

“Oh good, what is it?” asked Fluttershy.

“Well you know how I said that the best teleportation spells only go a few miles.” I said.

“Yes” responded Fluttershy.

Then I went on saying. “Well It just dawned on me that there has been a more powerful teleportation spell done before. However it wasn’t considered a teleportation spell because it was combined with a binding spell. Yes I'm talking about the spell that banished Nightmare Moon to the Moon. Now I bet your wondering how that spell could help me get back home. Well in short it can't, but I bet there is a spell like it that could help me.” Then I stood up and struck a post and said. “We shall banish me from wince I came.”

“um...we?” Fluttershy said.

“I have an idea, but it's getting late, so I'll tell everyone about it in the morning. Well good night Fluttershy I'm going to bed.

So what did you guys thing of the drama scene with Applejack. I tried taking it less seriously and I think I liked it better. But I want your honest option. Does it keep the flow of the story more natural, or does not occasionally taking things seriously make the main character too unbelievable.

Also I've tried capturing Applejack's accent better. Do y'all like it , or should I just use proper grimmer and know you know what she sounds like.

Also I don't plan on keeping Benedictius in the story. I just wanted Martian to have someone to talk to during the time skip.
