Anon's POV:




For the first time in several days you awaken in a nice comfortable bed, with no worries of food nor water. You open your eyes slowly as you move towards the edge of your bed. Having a clear plan in mind you don't want to waist the day. Your eyes focus and you look around the room taking in it's beauty for the first time.

Getting up and out of bed, you notice that you still have everything on; your helmets and your two backpacks. You smile as you take off the two backpacks, the helmet and place them in the corner of your temporary room. It's a nice feeling not having to worry about your belongings for once. 

Turning your attention to the next item on the list, you head out for the shower. You know you reek of body odor among other things, so a nice hot show should be a rewarding change. Plus you have the time to rinse out your coveralls to.

Entering the bathroom you turn on the show and strip off the coveralls for the first time since you got here. The feeling of filth still stuck to your body was unpleasant, but not for much longer. You hop into the shower and are greeted by a soothing not-to-hot/not-to-cold water. 

You stand there in the shower for a good ten minutes before you do anything productive. Standing there and letting the water rinse all of the grime off you was a heavenly feeling. To your liking when you snapped out of your trance state you acknowledge the wide verity of soaps and shampoos.  Each one having their own different perks such as 'long lasting' and 'silky smooth'.

With time passing way too fast for your liking, you finish up the necessary task's and hop out of the shower. The air was cold but nothing like it was up on the mountain peak, which you were thankful for. You pick up your coveralls and empty out the pocket contents, making sure to get your phone out of there. 

Once all the items were removed from your pockets you turn the sink tap on. You made sure the water was cold, because you didn't want to shrink any of the clothing, it was after all your only pair of clothing and you didn't want to strut around the castle in your birthday suit.

You gently rub the stains and grime off the coveralls making sure to add a lot of soap. You were used to doing laundry like this on a normal basis because, the suits had to be hand washed. Mind you the coveralls were not washed so frequently.

With the coveralls now clean and you squeaky clean. You place the coveralls on the towel rack to dry them off. You didn't have much else to do, so you did what was routine at base camp. You clean your teeth, wet your hair, dry it off, go to the bedroom, do the bed military style bouncing the quarter and all, polishing your only pair of boots even though they're going to get scuffed in like an hour and last but not least clean the visor on your helmet.

Everything was finally finished and you got this feeling of accomplishment. The room looked spick and span and you looked well taken care of. With the feeling of accomplishment flowing though your veins, you enter the bathroom again to check on your clothes.

The coveralls are still drying, but your underwear, socks and gloves are already dry. Looking around the bathroom you open up one of the cabinets to find a hairdryer. Now you never dried your coveralls with a hairdryer, but you assumed it would be OK.

Removing the hairdryer out of the cabinet, you have trouble finding a plug or outlet. The strange thing was that the hairdryer didn't even have a cord. You press the button and the hairdryer magically starts. Right, magically. This world has magic. You chuckle to yourself as you move to dry your coveralls.

1 Hour later...




It was a tedious task and quite frankly you were bored to death watching water dry up. You would go as far to say that even watching paint dry would be a better waste of your time. Nevertheless the coveralls are now dry and are look quite good. Not as good as new, but their heading there.

With everything ready you slip on your underwear, socks, coveralls, gloves, boots and helmet, visor up of course. Once you're done with the preparations you sit down on your bed and tie your boots. While tying up your boots you hear consecutive knocks on your door.


*Knock, Knock, Knock*


You finish up tying your boots and yell out "Comin', one sec!" Weird who would be coming over to your room at 7 in the morning. The knocking continues and you get up off the bed and make your way to the front door.

Opening the door you're greeted by nothing. Look down ponies are smaller then you. With that mental note you look down to see the cyan Pegasus known none other then Rainbow Dash. "Hey Dash, what's up?" You ask looking down at her.

"Nothing much, just wondering if you wanted to join me for breakfast." Dash says hovering up to eye level with you. Your stomach grumbling and Dash chuckles "I guess that's a yes then." She states.

"Yes it is." You reply as Dash lands back down. "You ponies have French toast?" You facepalm as you realize that France does not exist on this world. "Actually never mind I said that." You say chuckling. "Here's a better question what do you ponies have for breakfast?" You say exiting your room closing the door behind you.

"Well I like crapes their the best! Expressly with strawberry jam in the middle." Once again you can see a little bit of drool coming from her mouth as she mentally pictures the food. "Do you have crapes where you come from Anon?"

You walk with Dash down the hall to the stairwell. "Sure do, crapes are also my favorite breakfast meal." You smile at the thought of a normal breakfast, something that didn't contain the actual plant hay. 

As you walk down the stairs you notice that Dash still has the bandage around her wing. The bandage was already soaked in blood and was starting to dry. You winced at the thought of the injury, you never liked gore that wasn't yours.

"Hey, Dash. After we get breakfast I'm taking you to the doctors to get that wing of yours looked after." Dash looks at you deadpanned. You guess she has bad experiences with hospitals or somthing. You remember one time you broke your leg and had to stay in a hospital for a mouth because the hospital was over flooded. 

What with all of the new diseases from the moon colonies set up two years ago. Nice places to, you get a good view of earth up there, and some people can't stop looking out there windows, like it's some kind of movie. There is no ambition as strong as human ambition. 

"No Bucking way Dude. Last time I went to a hospital I was stuck there for a week. A full WEEK can you believe it! Yet all I did was break one of my wings. I could of been out in two days if they let me." You chuckle at the coincidence.

"To bad, so sad Dash. You're going one way or another." You say as the both of you reach the end of the stairs. You can already smell the fresh fruit and food from here. This only strives to make you walk a bit faster than you normally do.

"Do you even know where the hospital is in Canterlot?" She asks.  All you do is look at her confused at what the fuck 'Canterlot' is. She seems to get the message and continues "See you don't even know the name of the city you're in. How do you expect to get me to the hospital."

"Easy" You say with a smile "I just have to yell out. This crazy mare has a injured wing and needs to get to the hospital ASAP!" Your mouth is soon covered by Rainbow Dashes hoof but it's too late you have already said it. Too bad there was no pony around to hear it, talk about anti-climactic. 

Rainbow Dash gives you a glare that could kill puppies on earth from here. "You win this time Anon, but you better watched you back because I have a tendency to get even." Dash gives a devilish smirk before landing back on her hooves.

"Well trust me, you won't be there long Dash." This seems to catch Rainbow Dash off guard as she turns around with a confused look on her face. "You want to know how I know that?" You say as you walk into the dining area, that by the way looks amazing in the light.

"How?" Dash says flying up to you at eye level.

You whisper into her ear. "Because you're flying right now." You can't help but repeat the same thing Dash did when you first saw Canterlot. "You should see your face Rainbow Dash!" You say laughing. "Its priceless!" Dash lands on her hoofs and blows you a raspberry.

You arrive at the eatery shortly after Dash, you both take the same table you were at last time. Amazingly the place was packed, yet you were still able to get this specific seat. This time when you're seated a waiter comes out to see you. The waiter was a unicorn pony that levitated the menus to you.

"Hi I'm Star Charmer and I'll be your server for today." Star says with a happy tone in her voice that you liked to hear in the morning. "So what could I start you poni-, you off with." she catches herself as she notices that you aren't really a pony.

"Nice catch Star and I'll have a plain old water." You relay while smiling towards Star and then move your attention to Dash who's turn it is to order.

"I would like to have a smoothie, as for the flavor surprise me." Dash looks over to you then back to the waiter that's now finished with her notes and is heading off to the kitchen.

You notice two strange things about this morning meal. First everypony in here doesn't seem to care that you're a human. Other than a few ponies that look at you with questionable eyes. Thankfully none with anger or fear. Second, you notice that Dash doesn't have the zap apple jam on her face this morning. 

Going though the menu you bring up the topic. "So Dash when did you find out that you had jam on your face last night." Dash drops the menu and looks you cold, dead in the eye. You're starting to have second thoughts about letting Dash know that you knew the whole time.

"You knew I had it on my face the whole night and didn't bother to even tell me!" She covers her mouth as she realizes that someponies are now looking at her from their own tables.

"Well yeah." You play it off cool. "Its kinda hard to miss rainbow colored jam on a cyan pony." You say nonchalantly. "But I do have to say it did match your mane and tail." You think you may have stepped over the line there as you see within Dashes magenta eyes teaming with anger.

"One day Anon. One day I'm gonna get you back so bad and there's going to be nothing you can do about it." You really doubt she's going to get you back, after all you were the best prankster back on earth in your pack of friends. In fact if she did get you back you would be more surprised than mad.

"And I cannot wait for that day to come." You say smiling. 

Looking back at the kitchen you can see the waiter come out with a similar smile, holding your water and Dashes Strawberry smoothie. You turn your attention back to Dash and utter one last word. "Strawberry."

Dash seems somewhat confused from what you have said, but quickly realizes when the waiter comes to the table and puts down the drinks. You have successfully ruined the surprise. Dash doesn't really seem to care about the ruined surprise. You think she just too deep in thought of how to get you back.

"So are you done with the menus and ready to order?" Star states with the same grin never leaving her face. This pony man, always so cheerful, you don't care if it's just her job making her this way. It's really brightening up your day.

"Yes I'm done, I don't know about her over there." You say pointing to Dash "She might be a bit on the slow side." You chuckle at your own caution, ready at any moment for Dash to come at you with full force beating the life out of you. At least then you could die happy and laughing your ass off.

Dash gives you another one of her now patented Rainbow Dash stairs. You get the message and return to your order. " I would like one order of your crapes please." You say smiling at Star. Once again you turn to Dash this time expecting a hoof to the face. Luckily Dash keeps calm and orders her meal.

"And I'll take the same." Dash says giving a fake smile to Star, who of which returns the smile to both of you as she turns around to go to the kitchen, only to be stopped by you.

"One last thing Star, could you tell the cook Brew Strawberry that Anon and Dash say hi." Star nods in agreement and heads to the kitchen with her now filled flip book. Once she is out of sight you turn back to Rainbow Dash.

She looks a bit annoyed but she's a tough pony and she can handle a little harassment. "So what do you have planned for today Anon? Other than dragging me to the hospital." Dash asks as she takes a long sip from her smoothie.

"Well Dash, to tell you the truth I have nothing planed. I was just going to go to Ponyville right after the hospital. However if you know any cool sights in Canterlot we can check them out." This seems to brighten Dashes mood.

"You got to check out the Wonderbolts! I don't think they are playing today but I know a museum we can check out." Dash says with excitement. Thankfully letting your little harassment fall.

"That sounds awesome, Is there a fee? Because if there is, I don't really have money. The only reason we're eating here is because Celestia is generously paying for it" You hope She did say that you could eat here, well knowing that you have no money.

"Don't worry Anon I got you covered." She says as she pulls out a bag of gold coins out of seemingly nowhere. Your body twitches a bit as you see her toss it on the table. GOLD COINS! Back on earth the amount of gold she just tossed would be enough to feed all of the third world countries. OK maybe you were over exaggerating a bit, but still GOLD!

"How much is one off those coins worth here?" You state as you pick up one of the coins and look it over. Yup this is pure gold Anon, just be careful not to bend it. You place the coin back down into the pile and return your eyes and ears to Dash.

"One bit is not really worth that much here." She says as she packs up the coins. "A pack off apples is worth 5 bits. The place we're going to costs 10 bits per pony." She states as she puts the bag under the table making it seemingly vanish.

"You think we can trick the ponies at the museum to let me in free, because I'm not really a pony." You smirk as you see Dash smile thinking the same thought over. "Who knows maybe there are a lot of loop holes now that I'm literally the only one of my kind here."

After your conversation with Dash is finished Star comes out of the kitchen with two plates of crapes. Your mouth waters as the crapes near your table. The smell of the fresh fruit served on the side makes your mouth water even more.

Star walks up to the table and places the two plates down with her magic. From what you can see, you both get three crapes each along with fresh fruit. That once again tastes like nothing you have tasted before. "Thank you Star."

Star nods at your thanks "Mr. Brew says he welcomes you again to the castles dinner." She waits there just to make sure that you're one hundred percent satisfied with the meal.

You finish off one of the crapes "You can tell Mr. Brew that his crapes are just as delicious if not more than his salads." Star nods and walks back to the kitchen smiling away. You wonder if it physically possible for a human to smile that long.

The rest of breakfast is fairly uneventful and once again you and Dash devour your meals within seconds of it arriving. With a satisfying burp you relax your muscles and look over at Dash that has been long done her meal.

Dash gets a smile upon her face. "And you call me the slow one." Dash seems happy with her comeback and you will let her swim in it for now. Even though you could of easily said that you like to savor the food and not just inhale it.

With the meal now done and the dishes taken care of you and Dash get up and out of the dinner. You both spend the next thirty minutes attempting to find the entrance. The minutes that where fairly well spent, well better spent then watching water dry.

Dash and you come across a large wooden door that you assume to be the entrance. This is going to be the first time you have exited the castle and walked amongst the other pony folks. You were a bit nervous that the ponies would form a mob and attempted to kill you, but after seeing the ponies in the dinner you put that thought away as you open the large door.

Bright sunlight hits your face as you step outside of the castle and into the busy streets of Canterlot. The ponies that walked around looked very high class wearing tuxedos and dresses with accessories like pearl necklaces and monocles. The ponies didn't seem to surprised to see you, but some stopped and stared while others whispered to one and another.

You really weren't used to the attention and it made you feel a bit alienated. Then again you are a alien to them so you guess that is the right way to feel here. You look back to Dash that is now exiting the castles front door.

"So which way to the hospital." You ask Dash as she trots up to you.

"Just follow me." Dash sighs and walks down the bustling streets.

Canterlot streets reminded you a lot of New York streets. Everypony had a place to go in a hurry, while others seemed to be taking a normal walk and there was also some tourists taking pictures. The roads were made out of cobblestone and the buildings matched the castle in building materials.

In the long term you assume that looking at all these bright colors will get to you. As for now they don't bother you and you make the most of it. You turn back to find Dash only to see that she is nowhere to be found. How could I possibly lose a rainbow colored pony? You say to yourself as you turn around a few more times in hopes of finding her. In turn this just further confuses you and now you have no sense of direction.

"Getting distracted I see." Comes a voice from behind you. Turning around you're greeted by Rainbow Dash smirking. "You always get lost like this Anon?" Dash keeps her grin.

"I was just taking in the lovely view." You say sheepishly. "And I seemed to have got lost in it for a moment. This is the first time I have been in Canterlot. Give me some slack." 

Dash gets the point and continues walking down the street with you now in tow. You're still a bit nervous thinking that this city is going to be like most Earth cites. The moment you get lost you run the risk of getting mugged or stabbed.

After a short walk, a large white building comes into view no doubt the hospital. However you remember back on Earth in the USA paying for checkups can be quite expensive. As for money you're completely broke. "Hay Dash? Does it cost anything to get a checkup at the hospital here?"

Dash looks at you with a confused look "Of course not, it's all paid by Celestia. So that she can be certain that all the ponies are looked after." You look at the hospital in thought. So it's like Canada's health care system without the tax, you could get used to this.

Entering the Hospital you're greeted by the universal smell of sterile equipment and well kept floors. You liked the atmosphere of a hospital, but once you're in it for too long it grows on you. You're surprised more people/ponies don't go insane from it.

Reaching the front desk a white mare comes up to you. She has a needle as a cutie mark and a brown mane and tail. "Hello, what brings you here today?" she looks over you and Dash noticing the bandage on her right wing. Once again you're astonished by these ponies ability to keep cool when you, an alien, is around.

"We're here to get a checkup. We just came back from a week in the woods." You say looking down at you feet for no particular reason. "We just want to make sure that we're one hundred percent well before we leave to Ponyville." You glance back up at the nurse.

"Lucky for you two, today isn't packed." The nurse smiles. "I will be able to take you in now." Once again for the umpteenth time you're taken back by the speed of the health care system here. Then again she did say that today was a rather slow day for her. Still most of the times you have to get a appointment to get a checkup, or at least tell them your name and other information. You guess there's a lot more things you have to learn about this new world.

You, Dash and the nurse enter an empty room. The nurse immediately takes out some medical equipment and tells Dash to sit up on the bed. Dash follows her directions and hops onto the bed looking over at you with her stare.

"OK, I'm just going to give you a simple reflex test, a blood test and then I'm going to check out that wing of yours. I'll also be replacing the bandages on it as well." The nurse proceeds with the tests in order, all the while writing things down on her note pad.

Once Dash's checkup is done the nurse tells you to do the same. The tests she does on you are the exact same as the once she did to Dash. She probably doesn't know how to do a proper human check up, but you're happy that she at least tries to do something.

After the checkups are done the nurse tells Dash to stay off her wing for another two days which should give it more than enough time to heal. The nurse turns to you and tells you that your cuts and bruises should heal in about the same time it takes Dash. The nurse also apologies for not knowing anything about your species and how they heal. You just nod and state that no pony in Equestria does either.  

You and Dash say your thanks and leave out the front of the hospital. "See that wasn't so bad was it Dash?" You ask as you're greeted by the fresh air and bright sunlight. Looking up you can see that the sun is nearing its peak, so it's about 10:00 (10:00 AM). Wow, three hours already. you think that time here might progress a bit faster than on earth.

"Yeah, I guess." Dash mutters under her breath. "Looks like it's Wonderbolt time!" Dash regains her excitement that was present at the castle when she first mentioned it to you. Hopefully the walk to the museum isn't that far.

"Lead the way my cyan friend." You say right behind Dash not risking another attempted at getting lost. You think that you have most of the city mentally mapped out, however extra insurance never hurt anyone, well to be fair it did hurt their wallets.

The walk to the museum was pretty uneventful. You did however get a nice view the whole walk there of the castle. You couldn't help but look in awe as the gold trimming glistened in the mid-day sun as the pearly white stone showed off its beauty.

"You going to stay out here or you gonna come inside and see some real awesomeness." You contemplated if that was the proper way to put the statement. Shaking you head Its Rainbow Dash, I don't think she really cares.

"If you say its awesome then why not." You reply entering the door of the museum that was on the outskirts of some clouds. Clouds that where arranged in a racing circuit. The inside of the museum looked rather breathtaking as hundreds of equipment were on display.

Looking around you realize that Dash has already paid for both of you and is looking at one of the exhibits. You smile and point to Dash as you pass the ticket vendor. The presumably young colt opens the gate and you walk through it and catch up to Dash that has already passed three exhibits.

Dash was now looking at a blue and yellow uniform strapped onto a pony manikin. You look over at the information card posted in front of the display. It read:

The Wonderbolt Flight Suit: This suit is used by all members of the Wonderbolt team. It is specially designed to be aerodynamic and ergonomic. With its special material it is made out of, this suit can withstand immense amounts of heat and can fly in temperatures far bellow negative sixty degrees. The flight suit is also fire proof and water proof, allowing flyers to push their limits not capable of a natural Pegasus.

From reading that you can make a educated guess that the Wonderbolts are stunt flyers, maybe racers. Knowing Dash their probably both. You move your head closer to get a better look at the clothes noticing that the texture of the cloths look fairly similar to your own clothes.

Moving on to the next exhibit with a surprisingly quite Dash, you come across what looks to be like a old version of a radar. The design looks way to heavy to take off with. The manikin had a wrist band that had a screen on it. You smile as you realize this was how far they got in avionics.

After looking over the description of the contraption Dash speaks up. "Can you believe it, they tried to make this thing so the Pegasus flying can see other Pegasus around him without looking at them."

"They were on the right track though." You say chuckling and reading more about the rudimentary radar. " Back on Earth every plane had one of these in it. The plane you saw me crash in has one to." Dash looks at you in awe.

"So these things could work?" Dash points at the clunky version of a radar.

"Well not really like that." You say looking over to the radar. "But the concept at what they are trying to do is sound." You then proceed to tell Rainbow Dash how radars worked back home, well at least the most you could remember.

After the quick discussion you and Dash tour the rest of the museum, looking at cool knickknacks, paintings and equipment of the Wonderbolts. As you reach the last exhibit you turn to Dash that is having the time of her life looking at all the displays. "Are the Wonderbolts the only flying team in Equestria?"

Rainbow Dash takes on a look of confusion. "Yeah, why would we need two?" She looks like you have just offended her. 

"Well if they had two teams, then there could be some cool competitions and air shows." You think over the idea of two teams of elite Pegasus going head on head to prove who's the better flyer. To be honest the Idea was quite bad ass.

You and Dash leave the museum and as you exit you can see the sun three quarters of the way down. To what you can assume is 17:00 (05:00 PM). The only thing left on the agenda is to go to the castle to pick up your backpacks and head off the train station.

3 Hours later...




After two hours of walking and one hour of packing what little you had, you reach the train station. There're not many ponies at the train station and the few still around where galloping to the train while others galloped into Canterlot. 

You enter the train nearly hitting your head on the roof. The cart that you're in is completely empty. You guess that ponies don't ride the train often after nightfall. You look around the cart again looking for a place to put your belongings. You see that the seating is like first class back on Earth. There're little booths to contain one party of ponies each, each one look like it can hold about six, three on each side.

Taking a seat in the middle booth Rainbow Dash enters empty hoofed. She looks around the empty cart then takes the seat across from you. "Is the train always this empty at night?" You ask as you make yourself comfortable. 

"Yeah, there isn't much need to get around at night in less you're in a hurry." Dash claims as she too makes herself comfortable.

"Do you know how long it'll take to get from here to Ponyville?" You ask.

"About six hours." Dash lets out a rather large yawn and lays down on her belly, putting her head down and closing her eyes.

You would follow her lead but for some strange reason the days here feel much shorter and thus you do not feel tired at all. After all its only 20:00 (8:00 PM), kids back on earth would still be up at this time. 

Getting up you take this time to explore the train cart that you'll be in for the next six hours. You take a look out one of the doors you came in from to see a conductor pony yelling to the other ponies that the train is about to leave and it's their last chance till tomorrow.

Turning around you walk back to your booth that Dash is in. You're taken by surprise when the train suddenly starts to move and you're thrown off your feet and into the cart floor. You mumble to yourself as you pick yourself off the floor.

Sitting back down you look out the window to see the moon rise from the horizon. The stars soon follow the moons lead and start to appear one by one. Soon the whole sky is filled with brightly glistening starts, a view that back on Earth was rare because of all the light pollution.

You sit there looking out the window for who knows long, as you think over your current situation once again. It seems like this will be a regular thought. You didn't really care about leaving your family behind. You know it's a bad thing to say about your family, but they never helped you and never cared for you, so why should you.

Your family consisted of two older sisters and a pair divorced parents. It was a normal family at the time. You were considered a lucky one if your parents stayed married your whole life. Your sisters where ruthless always putting you down and yelling at you when you messed up. As for your parents they just sat there and ignored anything you had to say to them.

Every time a problem came up and you went to your family for help. They would just shoot you down like a C-47 over Normandy beach on D-day. The only light of hope you got was when you left them to join the USAF.

When you joined the USAF you made tones of friends, it was one of your favorite moments. You got to stay in well kept military camp where everyone respected you and you respected everyone else in return. You and your friends bought a small house for the time in-between deployments. Living on camp was fun in all, but was not something you did all your life.

Forcing yourself away from the window you're greeted by a still fast asleep Dash. A smile comes across your face as the train enters a tunnel making the entire cart pitch black. You stay in your seat putting your head against the cart wall and slowly but surely you fall asleep. 

6 Hours later...




You're awoken from your slumber when the train shakes. You jolt your eyes open and take a look out of the window. The nerves in your body calm down as you see a small village appear in the distance. A village that you remember all too well, this was the exact same village as the one you almost crashed into seven days ago, apparently named Ponyville.

Looking over at Dash you can see that she's still fast asleep. Nevertheless you get up and out of your seat and stretch all the muscles and bones in your body. You move to the shelf where you put your backpacks. The straps where almost completely gone as the frost and moving around wore them out.

One your backpacks are on, you move back to your seat and look over to Dash. Being the nice person you are you gently shake her to wake her up. You don't want to be that douche bag that pulls a prank on someone while they are asleep.

Dash opens her eyes slowly as a smile appears on her face. "We there yet," she states as she wipes her eyes and gets up to stretches only to lay back down.

Her question is soon answered as the conductor comes into the cart. "Ponyville in 3 minutes!" the conductor then goes back to the other cart.

The train slows down to a halt. You and Dash get up and out of the cart and look around to see no ponies are out and about. Figures the time is about 02:00 (2:00 AM) if you where to guess. As you follow Dash you come across a though. Where the fuck am I gonna sleep. You keep your thoughts to yourself as a large tree with windows comes into view.

Glancing over the tree you realize that the tree is a actual house. You look over the tree once more to find a sign to the left of the door with a book on it. Using common sense you figure that this must be the public library. But why would you and Dash be heading to a library it makes no sense.

You look down at Dash that is now knocking on the library door. From what you can see it doesn't look like anyone's in there. "Dash its 2 in the morning I think the library's closed." You state but are only rewarded by Dash knocking harder.

Just as you're about to pull Dash away from the door, you hear some footsteps coming within the library. The door is soon opened and standing on the other side is what looks to be a babe dragon. Just as you though that things were getting normal around here.

The little purple dragon looks at Dash then at you, his eyes widen as if they were going to pop out of his little head. You quickly get the message that Celestia's word hasn't gotten around Ponyville yet. "Hello, I'm Anonymous." You bring out your hand to the dragon that only backs up.

"Don't worry spike he's cool." Dash is quick to say. You look back at her and she gives you a wink. You turn back to face the little dragon and keep your hand held up. "Don't leave him hanging." You can tell Dash is giving him one of her not impressed faces.

Spike walks back up to you and shakes your hand "I- I'm spike" he states as he looks back over to Rainbow Dash "So I guess you want to see twilight huh?" Dash nods and enters the library signaling you to follow her.

Once inside the library you note that it also acts as a house. There's a kitchen a living room and you can assume the bedroom is up stares. The living room was not really a living room more like a table with pillow cushions around it. The wooden walls had holes in them that stored the books neatly.

Spike runs up stares while you look around the room. You notice that there are a lot of books that have been pulled out and are stacked upon a wooden office desk. You walk over to the desk and look at the books that are on it. 'Aliens good or bad?', 'The universe.', 'space and beyond.' and many other titles. It looked like this Twilight pony new about me before Celestia's did if she's already finished three books.

Turning around you see a lavender pony walk down the stairs. Her mane is all messed up and her eyes have bags under them. Looking her moreover, you spot a star cutie mark on her flank. Now using your common sense you come up with astronomer as her profession.

Twilight turns to you before Dash, her eyes light up and you can swear you can see a spark in there. She then gets into a full gallop that is directed at you, the only thing you manage to do is cover your face and await impact. This is it Anon killed by your friends, friend. However no impact is felt and you slowly drop your arms from your face.

You look down to see Twilight looking you over going around you over and over again. "Oh my gosh Dash! I never knew you actually met a full alien. I mean you told me in all but to have him here!" She turns to Dash with a none to enthused look "but that's still not a good reason to go risking you life for him." She turns back to you "You are a male right?"

All you do is nod as Twilight trots over to Dash and gives her a quick on hoof hug. You have to admit it was quite the cute scene."I'm glad your alright you had everyone worried sick." Twilight then focus her attention to you "Why did you bring him here to the library?" Twilight seems to be thinking the same thing you are.

"Well he can't walk on clouds so I was wondering if he could sleep here for the night?" Dash replies.

Twilight looks at you with a worried expression. "Don't worry I'm harmless." You state, trying to ease the tension but all it manages to do is freak her out more.

"HE CAN TALK!" She practically shouts.

"Well of course I can and I really should be the one saying that. You all are the ponies." You state crossing your arms and looking down at her.

Twilight is at a loss of words. You take the moment to introduce yourself so she can stop calling you an alien. "My names Anonymous but you can call me Anon." You hold out your hand. "All my friends do," Twilight get the message and shakes your hand back.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle. It's amazing to see a real alien and one that can talk to." You roll your eyes at the mention of alien again. You guess you're going to have to get used to that name around here for a while.

"Pleasures all mine Ms. Sparkle" You retreat your hand back to one of your pockets. "So I heard from Celestia you'll be finding a way to get me back home?" You state.

"Oh, yes Celestia did talk to me about that. I have to tell you though the chances of getting you back are looking slim."

"Thanks for being honest with me." You reply as you look over to Dash that has a mixed expression on her face. "So as Rainbow Dash said is it OK if I stay the night?"

Twilight looks at Dash then to you. "Why doesn't he just stay with you Dash? I could give him a cloud walking spell?" Dash starts to smile but is soon interrupted by your voice.

"Sorry Ms. Sparkle but I am immune to magic as far as Luna says." Dashes expression falls back down.

Twilight looks at you with a confused expression. "Don't be ridiculous everything is effected by magic here in Equestria." She continues to stare at you.

"You're right Twilight, but I'm not from Equestria. In fact where I come from magic doesn't exist. It's just in stories and legends." Twilight is having trouble digesting the new information that you're spoon feeding her.

After some time Twilight seems to snap out of her little world. Her horn begins to glow and you do not like where this is heading. Soon a huge bolt of lightning shoots out of her horn and hits you right in the chest. The light quickly fades and you're left standing there like nothing happened.

Twilight nods and smiles "So it looks like you were telling the truth."

"Did you just shoot lightning at me?!?!" You say as you're frantically feeling your body over to make sure you are indeed intact. Sure enough there are no burn marks or holes going though you.

"Yes it was just a test, and I'm glad you passed or else we would have to lug your body over to the couch." Twilight looks to Dash that is in a state of shock and awe. "To answer your question Dash, yes he can stay the night."

Dash looks at you then to Twilight "Just promise me not to do anymore crazy test while I'm gone." Twilight nods and Rainbow Dash heads out to leave. "See you two tomorro-."

"Where do you think you're going Dash?" You state as she opens the door to the library and turns to you.

"Umm, home?" She looks at you with a confused look on her face. 

"Well if I recall the nurse said to stay off your wing for two days." You smile as you see the look of realization on her face. "So if you don't mind Twilight there is going to be one more guest in your house." Twilight just nods. You turn your attention to your almost murderer. "So I guess that couch is mine?" You say pointing to the couch with in the living room. 

"Yup it's all yours Anon." Twilight replies as she heads upstairs and into her room with spike in tow.

You turn to Dash that has now closed the library door. "You can have the couch Dash, these cushions look comfortable enough."

Rainbow Dash trots over to the couch. "You know we can share the couch." You look down at her then shrug.

Getting to the couch, you lay on your back with your feet hanging off the end due to its small size. Once again these ponies have amazed you with their generosity and kindness. Not only did Twilight accept you, but she also gave you a place to sleep which so happens to be her house. 

Dash jumps up into the air and lands right on your stomach with a large thump and a painful ouf from you as the air escapes your lungs. "Getting comfortable there Dash."

"You make a nice pillow Anon." Dash states as she curls up into a ball on top of your stomach. Within seconds she is fast asleep. All you can do now, is lay there on the sofa and stare at the ceiling till darkness comes and takes you to dream land.
