Twilight and Hawke were talking with Sparrow in private, while the others waited on them in the living room. Rainbow Dash was giving off a bored expression. "Ugh! How long are they going to be in there?" she asked impatiently. "They've been in there for almost forever already." She was wearing a shirt that was dark blue with yellow trimmings and was wearing a light blue feather jacket over it. She was also wearing a black spandex shorts. Her fur was cyan colored and her mane and tail were the colors of a rainbow with red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple. Applejack looked over to Rainbow Dash and said, "Come on now, Dash. It's been ten minutes and we need ta give them some time. It's not everyday that ya see your own sibling come visit ya from another world." She was wearing her signature stetson and was wearing a orange and yellow patterned cotton shirt with blue jeans and brown boots. Her fur was orange and her mane and tail were blonde. "She has a point darling," Rarity said. "Ooohh, IIIDDEEEEEAAA! This would give me a chance to try out so many new outfits for Hawke's little brother." She was wearing dark grey sweater with a long light grey skirt and was wearing a heart shape ruby around her neck. Her fur was white and she had a curly violet mane and tail. "It would be interesting to see what he would wear," Fluttershy said. She was wearing a white shirt and a light green skirt with a small butterfly pin on her mane. Her mane and tail was pink and had pale yellow fur. "This is so EXCITING! Now I get to throw not just one 'Welcome to Ponyville' party for a human, but now I get throw another one," Pinkie said excitingly. "*GASP!* What should I do? Should I get him a cake? Does he even like cake? OMC, what kind of a person doesn't like cake? What kind of presents does he like? Does he like pinatas? Should I-" Pinkie kept rambling on and on about her party ideas while everypony else had to endure her constant talking. "I hope everything goes well," Sweetie Belle said worried about Sparrow. "Ah'm sure everything well be fine, Sweetie," Applebloom said. "Ah think Hawke just wanted to talk with him alone for a moment." "I can see why Hawke would see him, but why did Twilight come along?" Scootaloo asked. "You know Twilight, she just wanted to see if Sparrow can do any magic like Hawke does," Spike answered. Spike was a young dragon boy with spike green hair with pointy ears and purple scaly skin. He wore a green shirt with a dark purple jacket over it and dark green pants. Sweetie Belle looked over to closed door that Twilight, Hawke, and Sparrow were behind. "I wonder what they're talking about right now?" she asked herself. "-And that's how I came to be here," Sparrow finished explaining to Hawke and Twilight. The three were sitting around a round table and each of them was having a different drink. Hawke was having a cup of water, Twilight was sipping on some tea, and Sparrow was drinking some lemonade. After sipping, Twilight placed her cup down on the table and looked over to Sparrow. "So you fell into a well and came out of another well, right?" she asked. "Right." "How did you fell in the first place?" "Well, for some reason I was pushed into it." "By who?" "That's just it, I don't know what pushed me in." "Interesting," Twilight said placing a her index finger on her lower lip. "Do you remember where the well is now?" "Sort of," Sparrow answered. "It was in the middle of the woods." "The Everfree Forest?" "I guess." Sparrow looked over to his older brother, who had a concern look on him and was rubbing his chin. "Bro, there's something I wanted to ask you." Hawke looked up to Sparrow and asked, "You wanted to ask how I'm alive?" "Well, yeah that's important too, but how come your hair is white now?" "Side effect of having magical powers," Hawke answered. "That's cool," Sparrow comment. "So you have powers now?" "Yep." "What kinds of thing can you do?" "I can do all kinds of thing like teleportations, shoot fireballs from my hands, fly through the sky, you name it." "Wow, so you're like a sorcerer now? "Yeah pretty much." "Cool," Sparrow commented. He then looked at Twilight and asked, "Is she a sorceress than?" "In basic terms, yes she is," Hawke replied. "Although she is a princess now." "Huh?" Sparrow said in confusion. "Yeah and she was once a unicorn too, but now she's an alicorn." "What?" "Oh yeah and she's my girlfriend," "........WAIT, WHAT?!?!?" "This is going to be a long day," Twilight said out of the blue. Thirty minutes had passed and Hawke had told Sparrow everything that had happened since his time during Equestria and how he became to be the guardian of it. Sparrow was amazed at what Hawke did over the past year and couldn't believe that this was happening. After that, Hawke and Twilight went back to the lobby with the rest of the gang to introduce Sparrow to all of them. Spike was the first of them to go. "Hey there, pal. My name is Spike and I'm Twilight's number one assistant." "Cool, I'm Sparrow. So you really are a dragon?" "Well, I'm technically a drake, but yeah I'm mostly a dragon." "Awesome." Applejack then stepped forward to meet Sparrow and knelt down to meet his face with her's. "Howdy, partner. I'm Applebloom's sister, Applejack. It's nice ta meet ya." "It's nice to meet you too, Miss. Applejack." "Aaww, you don't have ta use formalities for me," Applejack said rubbing Sparrow's head. "You can just call me, Applejack." "Okay, thanks Applejack." All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew right past both Sparrow and Applejack witch caused Applejack's hat to smack against Sparrows face. Rainbow Dash was floating on top of them with a grin. "Hey there kid, name's Rainbow Dash, Equestria's best flyer in the entire world and only pony that can do the rainboom," she said crossing her arms. "Ummm, it's nice to meet you too?" Sparrow said in confusion. Sparrow then felt a pair of arms wrapped around him and was being pulled in by Fluttershy giving him a gentle hug. "Aren't you the sweetest looking colt I've ever seen before," She said as she was tightening her hug. "My name is Fluttershy." "H-h-h-hi," Sparrow said nervously. He was beginning to sweat and blushing quite violently as his face was near her large......melons? Yeah, lets go with melons. Fluttershy noticed Sparrow's red face and asked concernedly, "Oh my, you're not having a fever are you?" Sparrow's eyes widen a bit. "N-n-no, I-I'm fine! Really, I'm fine," He replied giving a nervous smile. Hawke snickered at his little brothers awkward position, but was elbowed by Twilight to motion him to do something. "Uh, hey Fluttershy, why don't you let Sparrow meet the others now," Hawke suggested. "Oh, okay," Fluttershy said and let go of Sparrow, who let out a sigh of relieve. Rarity walked towards in a lady-like fashion. "Why hello, deary. My name is Rarity and I'm one of Equestria's greatest fashion designers." She said boldly. "Oh that's cool," Sparrow commented. "Umm, do you prefer that I call you, Miss Rarity?" "Well, you don't have to, but it is every gentlecolts duty to call a lady a miss when pronouncing her name," Rarity explained. Applejack rolled her eyes around and Hawke furrowed his brow in confusion. Hawke leaned over to Twilight. "Wait a minute, Rarity never mentioned that I had to call her a miss," he whispered. "That's because she never saw you as a gentlecolt in the first place," she replied giving away a smirk look. "Oh," Hawke said with a satisfied look. It took him a moment for Twilight words to sink into his brain and when he figured it out, he gave out an annoyed look. "Hey!" he whispered under his breath. After Rarity was done introducing herself, a bunch of streamers came out of nowhere in front of Sparrow and was being once again hugged by Pinkie Pie. "Hey there, Sparrow!" Pinkie said excitedly. "You remember me from what happened earlier, right?" "Yeah, you were-" "-About to be eaten by that giant pink blob pastry that I made with Twilight lab set and chemicals in order to make that super awesome cake idea that I had. Too bad that didn't work, but I'll find a way to make it. Mark my words! MARK MY WORDS!!" Pinkie said as she was holding her fist in the air for a few seconds and went back to hugging Sparrow. "Umm, okay?" Sparrow said in confusion. "Oh, by the way," Pinkie began to say. "Do you like parties?" "Umm, yeah?" "Awesome! Because I'm throwing you the biggest 'Welcome to Equestria and Brother Reunion' party ever!" Pinkie said continuing her hug. Her eyes suddenly widen and with a smile she said, "Ooo, I almost forgot." "What did you forg-Huh?" Sparrow tried to say until Pinkie placed a kiss on his cheek and he was blushing violently again. Sweetie Belle gave out a pouting look on her face. "Thanks for trying to save me. It was really nice of you to do that," Pinkie said. "N-n-no problem," Sparrow replied nervously. "Hey, what about-" "Hawke, if you finish that sentence, I'll send you to the moon," Twilight said as she was giving Hawke her version of Fluttershy's stare. "Never mind," Hawke quickly said. After that Twilight looked over to Sparrow. "Now that all the introduction is done, is there anything else that you want to do?" she asked. "Actually," Sparrow began to say and let out a yawn. "I could use a nap right about now, it's been a long day for me." "That's probably a good idea, since Pinkie is going to give you your party sometime tonight," Hawke pointed out. "You can come and live with me in one of the guest rooms. Since I have only have, what seven rooms?" "Can't believe we're not even doing anything in those rooms," Twilight muttered under her breath. "Huh?" "Uh, nothing," Twilight quickly responded and was whistling a tone. Hawke looked at Twilight for a moment and just gave out a shrug. He and Sparrow soon walked out the door after they said their goodbyes. As soon as the door closed behind them, Pinkie's eyes widen with a sudden realization. "Ah shoot! I forgot to ask what flavored cake he likes!" At Hawke's home that laid near the outskirts of the town, he was showing Sparrow around his house. He showed him the where the bathrooms were, bedrooms, living room, the kitchen, his own laboratory (which Twilight set up for him), and apparently a cake room (which Pinkie set up for him without him knowing......again.) Hawke soon was showing Sparrow's new room and Sparrow quickly jumped on the bed and got himself ready for a nap. "I see you already like the bed," Hawke said. "No kidding, this is way more comfortable then our usual beds," Sparrow said. "Is this thing made out of clouds?" "Possibly." "Wait, what?" "Anyways, I'm going to let you get some sleep. You need to be fully awake when Pinkie throws that party for you," Hawke explained and started to walk out the door. "Wait!" Sparrow suddenly said causing Hawke to stop halfway through the door. There was a moment of silence between the two brothers and Sparrow finally spoke up and said, "I'm so glad to see you again, bro." Hawke gave Sparrow a warm smile and walked over to him and gave him a gentle hug. "I'm glad to see you too, buddy." Tears soon developed on the brothers' eyes as they were overjoyed with their happy reunion. End of Chapter
