"Can I help you girls?" I heard Twilight ask.
"Uh... Can we, um, speak in private Twilight?" asked AppleBloom.
"Um, sure, I guess..." I felt the movement of AppleBloom going inside the library. Forgetting that I was hiding, I poked my head out, looking at my surroundings.
"AHHHHH!! A RAT!!" I heard Twilight yell.
Without a warning, I was slapped out of AB's mane by a magazine, levitated by Twilight, and was flying across the room, hitting a very thick book on the shelf.
"Well greetings and salutations to you too Princess...ow" I said with pain in my voice.
"It can talk!?" Twilight shouted.
"AVERY!?" the CMC shouted while galloping to my body, now on the floor. Sweetie Belle dropped my things on the floor, but I knew she didn't care. I also saw Twilight levitating my things towards her face, examining the clothes and wallet.
"Avery, are you ok?!" squeaked Sweetie Belle, tears starting to swell up.
"I'm fine," I sat up cracking my back. "Just a little sore now," I rubbed the back of my head. " And maybe a slight headache." I said. I turned my head side to side, making a cracking sound, and also making the CMC even more worried. "Like I said, I'm fine." I said, making the CMC a little relaxed.
Sweetie Belle gestured her hoof towards me and I hopped on. She lifted me up and was slowly walking to Twilight, who is now looking at my Bra. I saw a mean look on Sweetie's muzzle and I had I feeling that things are about to get messy.
"TWILIGHT!?" Sweetie shouted. Twilight jumped at the sudden outburst. "How could you hurt Avery like that? She just wanted to look at the library and you just slapped her like some-some, bug! That's not how to treat guest at you home, especially if their new around Ponyville! Now I want you to apologize to Avery!"
I was stunned on what Sweetie Belle said to Twilight; to a older mare; a Princess for peat sake. 'This mare got guts!' I thought. But I wasen't as stunned as Twilight. But she wasen't stunned at Sweetie's outburst, she was stunned at me. Seeing a new species right before her eyes. 'Saw this coming... Three... Two... One' I thought, counting down with my fingers.
"S-Sweetie Belle? Where did you find that 'thing'?" she slowly pointed a hoof at me.
"Apologize..." was all Sweetie said.
"*Sigh* I'm sorry Avery. Now where did you find 'Avery'?" Twilight asked again.
"We found her by the Everfree, Twilight... And we accidentally thought she was a mouse er sumthin'" said AppleBloom, a bit embarrassed.
"She said she was a 'Human' or something." said Scootaloo.
"Hmm... I never heard of a 'Human' before. Except one mare who's obsessed with them,"
'I can probably guess who.' I thought with a smirk.
"Let me check." As quick as her magic is, she levitated tons of books, surrounding her. Sweetie Belle places me on the center table, still watching and waiting for Twilight to finish.
It took about half an hour or so to find a book regarding to my species existence. It was in a thick book, I had to jump out of the way so I won't get crushed. She flipped through the text, saying things under her breath that I couldn't hear. The silence was interrupted, again.
"AhHa! Here we go! Modern humans (Homo sapiens or Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only remaining species of the hominids, a branch of great apes characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity, sociality and tool use; and a general trend toward larger and more complex brains. Early hominids, such as the australopithecines who had more apelike brains and skulls, are less often thought of or referred to as "human" than hominids of the genus Homo..."
I was bored by the fancy wordplay that I started thinking of what was going on. "*Sigh*" 'So this my life now right? Surrounded my favorite multi-colored equines that are super sweet and happy... If it's all lollipops and rainbows than I just can't survive this place!'
"Avery?" I jumped at the interruption of my inner thoughts, to see all eyes were on me.
"Y-yes?" I asked.
"Is it ok if I run a few tests on you?"
'So called it!'
"Uh, sure. Whatever floats your boat, Twilight." I said, seeing a eager grin plastered on Twilight's muzzle.
"Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!" I saw Twilight jumping around the table with the biggest grin she could make.
'Yeah. What could possibly go wrong?' I asked myself.
~
"DAMIT! WHY DID I HAVE TO THINK THAT?!" I shouted while trying to out-run a flying owl, that constantly dives in for the kill.
"Y'all can do it Avery!" I heard AppleBloom cheer.
"AB, I'M NOT A FUCKING ATHLETE, HELP!!" I ducked from Owlicious Talons and went between a wedge of books on the bottom of the shelf. Owlicious tried reaching for me, but I was far from her reach. A heard him give a 'Hoo' to say that he gave up. I got out from the wedge to see the CMC with grins on their muzzles and Twilight making notes on my actions.
"Please tell me that's the last one. We've been doing this four times already! What are you trying to prove?" I asked
"Oh! I'm sorry Avery. I was just testing your actions if you were in a deadly situation. It seems that you would find an escape route than try to fight head on. Why is that?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I've never been in combat before, and I don't know how to fight." I said.
"Oh! Well that makes things more understandable." she said.
"Can we just do to Q & A please?" I asked.
"Certenly." she replied.
"Thank GOD!" I said in exhaustion.

"Let's see. Avery do you want me to ask personal questions or simple questions?" asked Twilight.
"I'm ok with whichever questions you ask." I answered.
"Okay then. First question, what is your full name?"
"Avery Gantert."
"How old are you?"
"18"
"Where did you live?"
"Peekskill, New York."
"Did you live alone, with parent, what?"
"I lived alone in an apartment."
"Is there magic on your planet?"
"Only stage, light and dark magic."
"Can you explain them to me?"
"Well, stage magic is just illusions, smoke, mirrors, like magician acts. Light magic im not sure about, but I know dark magic is like helping yourself, but with the devil."
"Okay, here's the next question,"
~
So far all day was questions and tests on me, the last test she did was to see if there was any magic within me, their was, but very little, but I didn't care really. After the third test I did, the CMC had to leave before the sun sets, they said their goodbyes and so did I, they said that they would come back to check on me tomorrow so that we could have fun. I gladly accepted that invite.
Also sometimes I saw a pink pony pass by, but nothing else. I asked Twilight if I could stay the night, she said yes, but before I did anything else, I had to take a bath first. I asked Twilight to get me a small bowl of warm water, saying that I need to wash myself, she gladly did what I asked her to do and she left me some soap, leaving the room as she did. I told her about the whole 'why humans were clothes' and the 'human need privacy' thing to Twilight beforehand so she won't find out later.
I laid in the warm bowl of water and just stayed in there, not moving. I then grabbed a piece of the soap and started scrubbing myself. (ya know all those places) and afterwards, rinsed it off. Feeling the clean freshness that came with it. I finally Got out the bowl and dried myself. I put on a new handkerchief (Twilight was going to take me to see Rarity about the clothes thing) and wrapped myself around it. I grabbed the edges and made sure to tuck them in.
It took me awhile, but I got to Twilight's room, seeing how peaceful the room looked. I pulled out a random book from the bottom shelf and opened it to the center. I climbed to Twilight's desk and pulled two tissues from the tissue box, bring them with me to the open book. I used the tissues as my quilt and the open book as my bed, I also had a cotton ball as a pillow. 'Doing this while thing reminds me of that movie "The Secret World Of Arrietty"' I thought setting up my bed. 'But why do I feel that I'm forgetting something?' I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
~
While everypony in the library were in a deep sleep, no one noticed a small dragon come through the library door.
"Rarity really need an assistant or something," Spike said to himself. "Those errands that Rarity wanted me to do took me all day... Oh well." he said in fatigue.
He walked up the stairs to his bed room to see a sleeping Princess. He noticed an opened book on the floor. 'Guess Twilight over-read again,' Spike thought, picking up the book, while also not noticing a tiny sleeping human inside. He slowly closed the book and gently placed it on Twilight's desk. 'She'll thank me in the morning, Spike thought. 'Now to go get some shut eye!' Spikes final thoughts came when he hopped in his bed, drifting to dragony slumber.
