"SPIKE!!! Have you seen my saddle bag?" Twilight Sparkle called.
"Yes Twi, they're here." Spike answered. He handed the saddlebag over to Twilight,
"Thanks Spike" Twilight said gratefully.
"No problem Twi, that's why I'm your number one assistant." Spike looked curious.
"Where do you need them for anyway, because it's sunday, and the shops are closed."
"I am going to the castle ruins, because I forgot to take a certain book with me yesterday." Twilight answered.
"Wait, YOU forgot something? Well that's new."
"Shut up Spike, forgetting things is one of the things that makes us ponies, or dragons in your case."
"I guess your right." Spike replied.
"Wait, does that mean I'm home alone for the day?" Spike asked with a giant smile on his face.
"Yes, that means you a..." Twilight was cut off mid sentence because Spike pushed her out of the library.
"OK then, see you later Twi." said Spike when he quickly closed the door. Twilight sighed, and started moving to the castle ruins.
"Hey Twi" Twilight heard someone call. She turned around and saw it was Rainbow Dash.
"Hi Rainbow, how are you?" Twilight replied.
"I'm fine" Rainbow replied "what are you up to so early in the morning?"
"I'm going back to the castle ruins, because I forgot a book."
"Well, I'd wish I could go with you, but I got some work to be done, so cya." Rainbow flew off.
"See you later Rainbow"
After a few minutes, she saw the forest dooming up, and she went of into it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tom woke up after a long night by the sound of footsteps. When he looked where it came from, he saw the purple pony from yesterday walking on the path. He was scared that she went looking for him, since she "felt" he was there yesterday, but she just kept moving on, so he calmed down, and started on breakfast. He had enough food for two days left, so he thought to himself that he should start later on. He decided that he would go and sit outside the forest, she his camoflage would recharge. He sat down there for 30 minutes, and then he got bored, so he went of practicing with his knife, the weapon where his training started with, and after that some jogging around the edge of the forest. He did that the rest of the morning, and then he got hungry, so he started to get some lunch. When he was finished lunching, he was bored, so he started hunting. He took his M27 and his Desert Eagle (Deagle) with him, and started looking for animals. He found a dear, who was eating some grass. He reacted quickly. He pulled out his Deagle, swithed the safety switch off, aimed and.. BOOM, Headshot. The dear was instantly dead, with it's head exploded. Tom quickly took out his knife, and started to clear the dear of fur and other uneatible stuff. When he was finished, he buried the useless parts, took the flesh with him, wrapped up in the hide of the dear, and moved back to his camp. Then he heard a strange noise, and after that a scream. He immediatly ran to the source, and he saw the purple pony, pressed against a tree, with 3 big wooden wolves around her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight got the book, so she went back to Ponyville. Halfway back, she heard a big bang. Twilight, curious as always, went of looking what it was that made that bang. She left the path and starting walking into the forest itself. After a few moments, she came at the source, and she saw an strange creature, cutting a dear in peaces with a knife. Twilight silently crawled away. Suddenly she heard a growling sound behind here. When she turned she saw three timberwolves. Before she could react, one of the swiped here. She let out a scream, while she flew against a tree. The timberwolves surounded her. She thought that would be her last seconds. But when one of the wolves aproached her, she a strange noise, and saw a flash, and after that there was a knife stuck in the head of the wolf. She looked at the place where the knife came from, and saw the strange creature, now holding a sort of tube, and she heard loud bangs. She closed her eyes, because of the flashes coming from the strange tube. When she opened them again, she saw the timberwolves, fully penetrated with holes, lying on the ground. Suddenly she felt something touch her, and she looked, just to find out it was that strange creature that saved her.
"Thank God, are you Okay" it asked.
"You can talk?" Twilight asked in shock " And what are you anyway?"
"Well, I'm a human, aka Homo Sapiens, and yes, I speak English, as you can hear."
"English? No, you are talking Equestrian"
"No, I'm certainly talking English, but anyway, my name's Tom Jacobs, but my code name's Blaze, I work for the US Army, in a special force"
"Well, greetings Tom, my name's Twilight Sparkle, Element and Princess of Magic"
"Well greetings Twili...Wait, you're a Princess?"
"Well, yes, I am, but I don't really rule anything, I've been a princess for only few months. I do have a castle though, which I have since two weeks ago."
"So I am only like one and a half day here, and I already saved an princess? Well, that's certainly a new record."
Twilight chuckled a bit at his reaction. "Yea, I guess it indeed is. But just a little question, how did you get here?"
Tom told Twilight what happened. "And that's how I got here." He ended his story.
"Hmm, that's certainly strange, I should talk to princess Celestia and princess Luna about this."
"Two other princesses, how many of those does this land have?"
"Well this land three, me, Celestia and Luna, but there's also princess Cadence, who rules the Crystal Empire, which is a sort of state in Equestria." They talked a bit more about Equestria and planet Equis.
"I'm getting hungry" Tom said "we should really get some food.
"Yea, I'm getting hungry too, why don't you come with me to Ponyville, you can have a room in the castle."
"Well, if you really don't mind, I would like that" Tom replied "sleeping on the ground isn't very nice." He said with a painful face.
"Follow me then." Twilight said.
"Can I get my stuff from my camp first?" Tom asked?
"Sure, no problem." They went to Tom's camp, got his stuff, and went of to Ponyville.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Umm, do they always react this way to strangers?" Tom asked while everypony around him went crazy, and all shut themselves up in their houses.
"Well, no, but now they are just overreacting because you are a species never seen before, so they might think you are some kind of moster." Twilight replied.
"Well that wou OOF" Tom was disrupted mid sentence because a certain cyan pegasus pushed him to the ground.
"Run Twilight, I will hold this monster off" Rainbow shouted at Twilight.
"Rainbow, stop it, he's not a monster, he's a Human, we also happened to safe my life."
Rainbow gave Twilight a strange look. "What in Equistria is a Human."
"The thing you're currently sitting on. "Tom replied painfully.
"Oww, eheheh, sorry, I thought you were threatening Twilight." She got up from Tom, so he could finally stand up.
"No problem, I would have probably done the same thing in that case, but anyway, my name's Tom Jacobs, my code name's Blaze, choose what you prefer." Tom said.
"The name's Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty and best flyer in Equestria." Rainbow replied, while doing some athletic stuff in the air.
"Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash." after that he went to Twilight "What's up with that Element part, I mean, does everybody, err, everypony represent an Element, or only you guys?"
Twilight replied "Well, me and my friends, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie all represent one of the Elements of Friendship. Loyalty, Kindness, Honesty, Generousity, Laughter and Magic. Togheter we have the most powerful magic of all, the Magic of Friendship."
'Wow, that sounds cliché' Tom thought. "So I guess I'm going to meet all of your friends?"
"Well, yes, you are if you want."
"Well, since I have nothing better to do, why not, but can we first get some dinner or something, I'm really hungry."
"Yea, I'm too." Twilight said "Follow me to the castle, I've got food there, you wanna eat with us Rainbow?"
"Why not, I am also starving." Rainbow replied. So they all went of to Twilight's for dinner.
When they arrived, Tom heard a child voice comming from the castle. Then he saw a small dragon running out of the castle. Wait a sec, a dragon?!?
"Hey Twi, there you are, where have you been all day, there were reports of a mo.." The dragon stopped mid sentence when he saw Tom.
"Twilight, Rainbow, behind you, there's a monster."
"Calm down Spike, Tom isn't a monster, he's a Human, and he means no harm, he actually saved my life."
"That thing saved your life?!?"
"Well yes, I most certainly did." Tom came into the conversation. He walked up to Spike to shake his hand.
"I'm Tom Jacobs, code name Blaze, I'm a soldier from the US Army's special forces."
Spike was a scared, but still shook his hand. "Hello Tom, my name is Spike, a dragon and Twilight's number one assistant."
"A real dragon huh, we don't have that where I come from, neither we have talking ponies by the way." Tom said with a smile. "And now you are going to say that ponies lower and rise the Sun and the Moon, right?"
"Well, yes, that is what the princesses are doing, how did you know that?" Twilight asked
"WELL, since this planet has talking ponies, pegasi, unicorns, alicorns, dragons, strange wooden wolf things, and magic, I think that it then comes naturally that the Sun and Moon are being lowered and risen by pony princesses." Tom replied simpelly.
"Yea, I guess you made a point there." Twilight said while chuckling a bit. After that they went in and ate dinner. Tom was sad there wasn't any meat, but he didn't say anything about it, because he still was a guest there. When they finished, they all went to bed, for some well deserved night rest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Tom woke up the next morning, he first didn't remember where he was. Then he realised that he was in Twilight's castle. He took a shower, dressed him self and went to the kitchen to get some food. When he entered, he saw everybody was already awake.
"Mornin' Twi, mornin' Spike" he said.
"Morning Tom" Twilight and Spike replied.
Tom got himself some cereal, and sat down at the table.
"Tom, could you tell a bit more about Humans?" Twilight asked.
"Sure, ask away." and he immediatly wanted he did not say that. He got loaded with questions, and that went for one and a half hour. When they were finally finished, Twilight thanked Tom for his "interview" about Humans.
"No problem Twi, least I can do for you letting me stay in your castle."
"That's no problem Tom, I mean, you also saved my life from those timberwolves."
"Anyone would have done the same thing." Tom replied.
"But you were the one who did it, so I owe you my life."
"Again, it's no problem Twi. But now something else, when am I going to meet your friends?"
"We could go now if you want." Twilight responded
"Yea, would be nice, lead the way."
They first went of to Sugercube Corner, to meet Pinkie Pie.
When they entered, Tom almost immediatly got thrown down on the ground, with a pink pony jumping on his chest.
"Hey Twi, whose your friend, and what is your friend, I have never seen anything like it before." Pinkie Pie asked Twilight.
"Umm, can you please get of me, I am sort of being squished into the ground by you." Tom asked Pinkie.
"Ow, I'm sorry, because, I know everypony in Ponyville, and since I didn't know you, means that you're new, which means you don't have friends, which mean that you're lonely, which makes me sad, so I really like to be friends with you, because I'm friends with everypony here." she said while she got of Tom.
"Well, what if you tell me your name first, my name's Tom Jacobs, code name Blaze, I am a soldier of the US Army's special forces. I am an Human from planet Earth."
"My name is Pinkie Pie, but all of my friends call my Pinkie" that last part she said with a big smile on here face. "I am an pony from Equis, and also the Element of Laughter."
"Nice to meet you Pinkie." Tom replied
"Nice to meet you too Tom. OOWW, I gotta prepare a Welcome to Equis and Equestria and Ponyville party for you, cya!" she said while ran of.
"Is she always like that?" Tom asked Twilight.
"Most of the time, yes." Twilight replied. Well, let's head on to Carousel Boutique, to meet my friend Rarity."
When they arrived at Rarity's, Tom almost face palmed.
'Are you fucking serious' Tom thought to himself, looking at the building. 'Well, they are very creative at names here'
They entered, and Tom almost chocked from all the parfumes in there. 'Is so much parfume even allowed?'
Then the heard footsteps coming towards them.
"Welcome to carousel Boutique." Rarity said. Then she saw Twilight.
"Ow hi Twilight, darling, what can I.do..for.... WHAT IN CELESTIAS NAME IS THAT FOR A MONSTER!?!?!!" She screamed well noticing Tom.
Twilight tried to calm her down. "Wow, calm down," she said "this here is Tom, he's a Human."
Rarity, still scared as shit, looked back to Twilight. "A Human, what the hay is that? Is it dangerous? What does it do here?"
Twilight wanted to reply, but Tom took initiative. "Well, I come from planet Earth, got accidently teleported to this world filled with talking ponies, camped in the forest, saved a princess from wooden wolves, slept in a castle, met a real dragon, got pushed over by a strange pink pony, almost face palmed at the 'creative' names you ponies have here, and last and not least, a pony screamed at me, calling me a monster." Tom said in one breath. "And that all in only 3 days. Ow, I almost forgot, I'm very dangerous, but only when people are attacking me. This was my lecture, any questions?" Rarity, as well as Twilight, were both gaping at Tom's outburst. Tom chuckled a bit at their reactions.
"I should really make a picture of this, the looks on your faces are priceless." He said while they were still shocked. They both quickly went back to normal.
"Well, that was, umm, interesting?" Twilight said with a quistioning face.
"Yes, very interesting, now, when you are both quiet, I can finally introduce myself." He said while walking to Rarity. "Hello, my names Tom Jacobs, AKA Blaze, I'm a soldier from the US Army's special forces."
"Umm, yes, Well greeting, I'm Rarity, owner of Carousel Boutique, and element of Generousity."
"Nice to meet you, Rarity."
"Nice to meet yo.. Wait, what did you say about saving a princess?" she asked?
Tom told her about what happened, with Twilight filling in the parts he left out.
"Well, thank you for helping Twilight out." Rarity said when Tom finished.
"That's no problem, anyone would have done the same thing." Tom said. Rarity then noticed Tom's clothes.
"Tom, darling, that clothes look amazing." She said.
"Well, it's just a regular US-SpecOps, nothing too rare." Tom answered.
"That might be where you come from, but I think it's amazing." Rarity said.
"Hey Tom" Twilight asked "doesn't that light grey catch attention, I mean, when you're out in the forest or anything?"
"Well, when you're operating in a city, this helps more, plus, this gear has more to ever then some gray colored camoflage."
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked?
"Well, I'll show you." Tom said while activating his OC (Optical Camoflage). Rarity and Twilight were both a bit shocked.
"How did you do that?" Twilight asked while Tom turned back visible "I don't sence anykind of magic being used."
"Because this doesn't work with magic, this works with electricity." Tom replied with a smile.
"With electricity?" Twilight asked curious "You have lighting stored in your suit?"
Tom laughed a bit at Twilights reaction. "No, back at Earth we have giant power generators generating electricity." Tom explained "We can also use solarpanels like this one to get electricity." he said while showing his solarpanel.
"Solarpanel? Does that mean you get electricity from the sun!?!?"
"Well, yes, but it won't go really quick, because this is just a small one, if I had more, or a bigger one, it would give me more electricity, but since I don't have more, I'll just have to do it with this one."
"I could use a duplication spell on it." Twilight offered.
"If you're sure you can do that, we can try that out, but I think we should get moving on to your other friends, because I think Rarity wants to work on with a dress." Tom said while he noticed Rarity getting a bit nervous.
"Ho..how did you know I was working on a dress?" Rarity asked "Are you a physic or something?"
"No, when in training for the army, we got lessons on how to see if someone is like nervous or something like that." Tom responded "It's good for interrogating someone, since you can notice if he is lying or not. I saw you were a bit nervous, and since you work in a boutique, it was the first thing that came up to me. But anyway, thanks for your hospitality, but I think me and Twilight should be going, cya." Tom said, leaving behind a shocked Rarity.
"Well, I'm learning new things from you everytime." Twilight said.
"So am I from this world, but where are we heading next?" Tom asked.
"We are now going to visit Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres."
It was quite a distance to Sweet Apple Acres, but Tom and Twilight killed the time by talking about all the features of Tom's gear. When they arrived at the farm, Tom saw some shaking trees in the distance.
"What the fuck is that?" Twilight looked at the point where Tom was pointing at.
"I think that's Applejack busy bucking apple trees." Twilight explained. They headed of towards the shaking trees, and saw Applejack bucking some trees.
"Hi AJ" Twilight called. Applejack looked around and saw Twilight and Tom walking to her.
"Hi Twi, what's that thing following ya?"
"This here is Tom, he is a Human." Tom walked towards Applejack to shake her han..errr...hoof.
"Hello, my name's Tom Jacobs, code name Blaze, I am a soldier of the US Army's special forces."
"Nice to meet yah Tom, mah name's Applejack, element of Honesty, and this here is Sweet Apple Acres." She said while pointing at her surroundings.
"Nice to meet you too Appleja..." He was cut of by a child voice yelling.
"Applejack, that fox is there again, if you're fast you might catch him." a little yellow filly with a red mane called.
"Thanks for waring little sis, right on it." Applejack said while running off. Tom, Twilight and Apple Bloom quickly followed her.
"Ow shoot, he already got one." Applejack said "We never gonna catch that one now."
"You care if the fox dies?" Tom asked.
"Umm, no , why yo.." She was cut off by Tom getting his M27 out. He switched safety off, aimed, and fired. Loud bangs were coming from his gun, which caused to shock everypony around him. Then they all looked at the fox, and saw it lying still on the ground, with blood around it.
"Is...it...dead?" Apple Bloom asked while being shocked.
"Yea, I think so, I've never seen something not dieing from a clear headshot." Tom said just normally.
"How did ya do that?" AJ asked.
"Quite simple, I shot him down with my gun." Tom said looking at AJ "Never heard of a gun?"
"Well, no." AJ said while looking scared at the M27.
"Is that the something you used to save me?" Twilight ask looking curious.
"Yea, it is." Tom said "Don't you have guns here in Equestria?"
"No, we haven't." Twilight replied "How does it work?" Tom started to explain.
"Well, this thing basically shoots a little lead ball faster then sound. When you shoot one of those things in something's head, well, you see the results."
"So ya mean to say, that that little thing shoot things flying faster then sound?!?! I thought Rainbow was the only one who could go faster then sound."
"If you think this thing is little," Tom said pointing at his M27 "then you should see this thing, it shoots at almost the same speed, but is just a little less powerful." he said while grabbing his Deagle. "The bigger one, the M27, is effective 800 meters far. The little one, the Desert Eagle, is effective at 200 meters. Back at the castle, I also have a even bigger one, a DSR-1, is effective at 1500 meters far." Everybody looked amazed, and also scared at him.
"s..s.so you mean to say, that you can kill anypony at a range of 1500 meters!?!" Twilight said.
"Well, yes, I can, but it's very hard to aim at such a distance, but theoritically it's possible." They all looked more scared at him.
"Wow, calm down, sheez, it's not that I'm going to kill everybody I see." Tom said trying to calm them down. "I'm only using this guns for self defence, or when it is really needed for me to use them, like here with the fox." The other ones calmed down a bit, but were still scared.
"Well, ah wish ah could talk more, but ah really gotta clean up that mess, and ah still have many apple trees to be bucked, so see y'all later." AJ said while she walked off.
"Okay, cya later AJ." Twilight said.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Tom asked.
"Now, now we're heading to Fluttershy's."
Thet arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, and saw that Fluttershy was feeding her animals.
'I..is that a bear?!?' Tom thought to himself while he saw a bear sitting on the ground eating some stuff.
"Hey Fluttershy" Twilight called. Fluttershy looked over to Twilight and Tom.
"Hi Twilight, emm, what's that thing with you, I've never seen anything like it."
"This here is Tom, he's a Human."
"Ow hi there big boy, are you hungry, I have something spare for you." Fluttershy said to Tom thinking he was a animal. Tom raised his eyebrow at Fluttershy's reaction.
"Ow, whose a good boy, whose a good boy." Fluttershy said while she stroked Tom's hair.
"Umm, Fluttershy, what are you doing?" Twilight aksed while trying to resist laughing.
"Well, I'm just trying to let him feel comfortable, something wrong with that?" Fluttershy said giving a strange look at Twilight.
"Emm, Twilight, she knows that I can talk right?" Tom said. Fluttershy eeped when she heard Tom talk.
"Oww, I..I'm sorry Tom." Fluttershy said with a little voice. Tom just smiled at her.
"Well, no problem, you were actually the first one who wasn't scared by me or attacked me." Tom said while he shook her hoof. "My name's Tom, Tom Jacobs, but my name in the US Army is Blaze, nice to meet you."
"M..my name's fluttershy, element of Kindness, and I take care of the animals here around Ponyville."
"Aren't you afraid they are going to attack you or something, I mean, there a fucking bear in your backyard."
"Oh no, Harry would never do such things to anypony, he's a very good friend."
"Well, if you say so." A white bunny came over to Fluttershy and started stomping the ground with a bowl in his hand.
"Oh well hi there Angel, you want food?" Fluttershy asked while she saw Angel pointing at the bowl. Angel nodded.
"Ok, I'll get it ready for you." After that she went to Tom and Twilight. "Well, I gotta go and feed angel, so I see you later."
"Yea bye Fluttershy, cya." Tom and Twilight said as they went back to the castle.
