Zach looked at Applejack, and Rainbow with a smile on his face as they approached him.
"That... that... was awesome!" Rainbow said, making her 'so awesome' face. Zach had to force himself not to go up to her and squeeze her in a hug.
"That... ah don't even know what to say Silver..." Applejack said, still bewildered by Zach's actions. Zach was then suddenly tackled by Pinkie Pie, who was now giving him a bear hug.
"Oh my gosh! That was amazing! First your were all like 'Pow' 'Pow' 'Pow'," Pinkie began, letting Zach go and throwing punches in the air. "and then you were like 'Swoosh' and then 'BOOM'!" She said, recreating Zach's charged attack to the best of here abilities, which was her jumping up into the air doing a partial backflip and landing on her back with a smile on her face. Zach got back up from the ground, looking up, his eyes met with Twilight's, which were filled with shock.
"Bu-wha-HOW? How were you able to do something like that? My specialty is magic, but even I can't do something as powerful as that!" She questioned Zach.
"To tell you the truth..." He began. "... I... don't entirely know how... I just... can, I guess." He said, truly unsure of how he was able to have magical capabilities such as that. Twilight gave him a questioning look, but decided not to question anymore.
'He's hiding something, I know he is.' She thought.
'I know she doesn't trust me... just how long can I go without blowing it?' Zach thought as he begun worrying on the inside. Twilight sighed, getting her friends attention.
"We should help clean up, and try to move the... bodies... out." She said, heading back to Sugercube Corner, her friends following. Zach started to follow them back, but looked behind him, trying to spot Vinyl, but saw no sight of her.
'I wonder where she went.'
-------------------------------------
After a couple of hours, the clean up was complete... or as complete as it was going to get for now. There were ponies that started working on fixing the walls of Sugercube corner a while ago. As for the umbraling bodies, they were just melting away into the dirt. Rainbow found this out the hard way, as she went to pick one up, it felt like a giant slice of butter in her hooves. They were now scheduling a rainfall for later to hopefully speed up the process. With the work done, Zach was just walking around, whistling the Death Egg Robot theme from Sonic the hedgehog 2. He wasn't worried about whistling something like that, he could always just saw it was some random tune that he made up.
He had nothing else to do for today, so walking around, exploring the town was something just to pass the time. He saw that the sun was going to set in a while, he knew he was going to need to sleep somewhere, but where was the question.
'I could just probably sleep in a tree on the edge of the forest, Rainbow seemed comfortable enough when she was 'napping'. Damn, just one day and I'm ready for bed already, I guess a battle can do that to a person... pony... thing, damn it! That is confusing. Actually, speaking about the battle, what were those things back there? They have never been in the show, maybe in the previous generations... I don't know, I never watched the older My Little Pony series. All I know about the older generation is that weird goat thing... actually, why would those things be in My Little Pony anyway?
'I don't think they would allow something like that to be on a kids show. Maybe I'm just in the future before the show? I wouldn't put it past them to put something like those in the show. Since My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic kind of moved away from being towards kids and more so young teenagers. But then again, the show may not be one hundred percent accurate to here, there could always be that. Actually, now that I think about it, how did Lauren Faust get the idea of the fourth generation of My Little Pony? When they are here, very much real and very much alive. It can't be some sort of coincidence, that she thought up something like this, and My Little Pony is real. Oh how I wish I can just question her about it.'
Zach's in-mind rant was interrupted when he felt a drop on his back, looking up, he saw the clouds had been set by the weather team and were now starting to let loose the rain.
'Wow, time sure can fly.' Zach found himself to be wondering the outside perimeter of the Everfree Forest. "Might as well head in for cover." He said to himself as he ran underneath the trees. With nothing better to do then just wait for the rain to end, he started to walk in the perimeter of the forest. Zach loved the rain, just not when it was hitting him. He didn't entirely understand why people get depressed when it rained. He could understand the people that don't like it because of flooding problems, but those that don't like it for no real reason, he didn't understand. Right now, the rain wasn't so bad, it was just gently pouring for the moment.
While walking the in the forest, Zach spotted a small clearing, not far from Ponyville, in the clearing, he could see a lone figure, just sitting out in the rain. Wondering what it was, Zach made his way to the figure. Once he was close enough, he could make out the figure to be Vinyl.
"Uh, hello?" Zach tried to get her attention, it worked. Vinyl was startled, jumping a bit while turning around, but once she saw it was Zach, she calmed down.
"Hey, Silver right?" She asked.
"Uh, yes. And your the DJ, right."
"That's me." She said, sounding a bit less joyful about it.
"If you don't mind me asking, but, what are you doing out here in the rain by yourself?"
"Oh, just enjoying the rain."
"By yourself?"
"Well, yeah."
"Do you... mind if I join you?" Vinyl seemed to brighten up a bit at that.
"Sure." She said, Zach moved up to her and sat next to her, of course not invading her personal space. The two ponies just sat there, letting the rain roll off their coats. After a moment, Zach spoke up.
"I liked the music you played at my welcoming party."
"Thanks. Do you like dubstep?"
"Yeah, one of may favorite types of music." Zach responded, silence filled the air again, Zach knew here had to be a reason to Vinyl being alone up here. "Hey... is there a reason you here by yourself?"
"Huh, oh... no." She said, but Zach could tell there was something on her mind.
"Are you sure? Look, if there is something bothering you, I'll help." Vinyl looked at him, before letting out a sigh.
"Okay, I'm just... a bit lonely." She began. "I really only have one pony that I can truly call a friend. Pinkie Pie says she's friends with everyone, but, she doesn't even know my real name, I don't think anypony knows my real name. I love playing music at parties and such, but after that, I don't have anypony to hang out with. So that's why I'm here." She said sadly. Zach could feel his heart break, Vinyl was one of his other favorite ponies, and to see her like this, it was horrible.
"Well, I'd like to be your friend." Zach said, shocking Vinyl.
"R-really?!" She asked.
"Sure, like I said before, I'll try to help you." Vinyl was speechless for the moment.
"Th-thanks." She said softly.
"So, what is your real name." Zach asked, already knowing the answer.
"It's Vinyl." She said smiling. In that moment, the rain started to pick up.
"The rain is getting worse." Zach said.
"Do you have a place to stay?"
"No, not really."
"Well, maybe you can stay at my place, I'm sure my roommate won't mind." Vinyl said. She didn't give Zach a chance to respond as she started running towards her place of residence.
"What the? Hey, wait up Vinyl!" Zach said, chasing after her. After a short while, they both arrived at Vinyl's home. Vinyl quickly opened the door and ran in, followed by Zach. Once inside, Vinyl shook the water off of herself, Zach did the same, hoping it was alright to do so.
"Tavi! I'm home, and I brought somepony with me!" She called out to her roommate Octavia, another favorite of Zach's. After a moment, Octavia came from upstairs, and upon seeing the wet surroundings, a look if irritation appeared on her face.
"Vinyl, what did I say about doing that?" She asked. Zach instantly regretted what he did.
"Aw, come on Tavi, its nothing a couple of towels can't handle." Vinyl said causally. Octavia just sighed.
"Yes, but it's always me cleaning it up." She said, only now did she notice the third pony in the room. "Vinyl, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Silver Shield. You know, the one Pinkie threw a party for. He's staying for the night."
"O-okay then." Zach said. Octavia sighed again.
"Well, I'll get the towels then." Octavia said, heading to the bathroom.
"Thanks Tavi!" Vinyl said before moving into the kitchen, most likely getting something to eat. Zach just stood there, unsure of what to do next. When he saw Octavia returning with some towels, he went up to her, grabbing one of the towels in his magic.
"Uh, sorry for the whole... water thing." Zach apologized, starting to clean up the water. Octavia was surprised that Zach just decided to help her like this, but she wasn't complaining.
"It's fine, it's just another thing I have to live with. Thanks for your help though." Octavia said, starting to soak up the water as well. "So, you're staying the night then?" She asked Zach.
"I... guess, Vinyl kind of made the decision that I would, just because I don't exactly have a place of my own." Zach explained.
"Oh, I see. Well, since your don't have a home of your own yet, you are welcomed to stay." She said. "My name is Octavia by the way."
"Thanks, but are you sure about me staying here. I can just sleep in a... tree or... something."
"No, no. It's alright, you can stay here."
"Oh, thanks Octavia." Zach said smiling. Octavia simply smiled back.
"Taaaviiii." Vinyl's voice came from the kitchen. "We're out of food again." She said. Octavia sighed again before heading to get a raincoat.
"Silver, is there any place you would like to sleep for tonight?" Octavia asked.
"I'll just sleep on the couch." Zach said, pointing to the couch. "Don't want to burden you too much."
"Okay." Octavia said, before heading out into the rain to get some groceries. A moment passed before music suddenly blasted throughout the house, startling Zach. Looking back, Zach saw that Vinyl was playing music on her DJ booth, and though it was loud, Zach was able to find the song enjoyable.
-------------------------------------
Zach laid on the couch, still awake. Vinyl had brought a pillow and spare blanket for Zach on the couch. The moon had risen a while ago, as most ponies were asleep by this time.
'This is so weird, but I'm completely fine with it. I got too meet some of my favorite MLP characters!" Zach thought, covering his face with the pillow as he let out a squeal of delight. "Octavia, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, hell, just being here in Equestria is awesome!... But, I am a bit worried about those things that attack today. Their attack on the same day I came here can't be some sort of coincidence. Or... maybe it is a coincidence and I'm just worrying to much. I don't know. Also, what about my magic? Yes I'm an alicorn, but that kind of magic, Twilight even said she can't perform something like that. Is that magic just some sort of influence from my gaming nature? And what about my home? Can I somehow get back? This place is awesome sure, but getting back home would be nice.
"Well, I'll worry about that later, it's only been my first day here. Might as well get use to being here, I don't know how long I will be here.' Zach thought, as he turned to his side and began to fall asleep.
