The sun began to rise brightly over Ponyville, starting a new day. The sun's rays seeped through Big Macintosh's window, and shone down on his eyes. He awoke and lazily sat up. He stretched out his front legs and hopped out of his bed. He opened the door and walked into the kitchen and started on breakfast. He was cooking fried hay. He looked at the clock that was telling him it was five o' clock in the morning. He finished cooking ten minutes later and set up six plates. He walked back upstairs to Applejack's bedroom to wake her up. She got up and tied her mane and tail back to the way they were. She grabbed her hat and went downstairs into the kitchen. He then walked over to Applebloom's room to wake up the three fillies. They fought a little, until he told them he was making fried hay for breakfast. They got out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get cleaned up. He walks into Granny Smith's room to wake up Justin.
***********************************************************************************************
"Justin, it's time to get up." I groggily lifted my eyelids and saw Big Macintosh standing next to my bed. I turned over and tried to go back to sleep. "C'mon Justin. Ah got breakfast ready and ya' got work today." I looked at the clock and saw that it said 5:35.
"I'm sorry to tell you this Big Mac,......... but fuck you. I'm sleeping in." I turned back over and closed my eyes. I heard hoof steps walk around the bed. He was now facing me and he turned around, completely. He lifted up one leg and kicked me in the stomach. I fell off the bed and was now in fetal position. I puked a little on the floor. I was rolling on the floor in pain. After about five minutes, I stood up and walked out of the room. I went into the bathroom and grabbed a rag and wet it. I went back into Granny Smith's room and cleaned it up. "Sorry about that."
"Y'all are sorry? Ah should be apologizin'. Ah didn't mean ta hit ya so hard. Ah'm sorry, Justin."
"It's okay. That's kind of how my parents get me out of bed. Except my dad pushes me off." I said as I finished cleaning up the vomit. "Where do I put this?"
"There's a round basket in tha bathroom." I walked into the bathroom and put it in the basket. I went back into Granny Smith's room and grabbed my glasses and my jacket. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen, where everyone was sitting down and eating already.
"What are we eating?"
"Fried hay! Come join us." Applebloom said.
"Nah, I'm not that hungry." My stomach growled.
"Yer stomach says otherwise. Why don't ya' want ta' eat?" Applejack asked.
"Because that's pony food, not human food. We're omnivores, but we don't eat hay." I reached into my pocket and pulled out a silver bit. "Here, thanks for letting me stay the night." I set the silver bit on their table and headed for the front door.
"Justin, we can't take this."
"You can. You just choose not to." After that, I walked out of Applejack's house and started my way towards Ponyville. The sun was a little above the apple trees. That's when I thought of something. It's still five o' clock, which means when I get to the spa, I'll have to wait some what two hours. And I haven't eaten, yet. I guess I can go visit Twilight. I was now entering Ponyville, after twenty or so minutes. I liked mornings like these. Only seeing a little bit of the sun, a dark blue sky, barely seeing the clouds above. I walked up to Twilight's house and saw lights on in the main room. I knocked on the door. Twilight answered it while holding a quill in her magic.
"Hey, Justin. Come in." I walked in and saw pieces of paper and lots of books spread out on the floor.
"Were you up all night?" She walked back to her spot and laid down and wrote more notes. She looked at me and nodded. "Well, do you mind if I get something to eat? I stayed the night at Applejack's house, and Big Mac cooked fried hay. I can't eat that." She nodded again, not taking her eyes off of the book. I walked into her kitchen and opened the pantry. I looked around and found some cereal. Hmmmm. Fruit Loops. Yum. I walked over to the cabinets and grabbed a bowl. I opened the fridge and grabbed the milk. I poured the cereal and then the milk. I grabbed a spoon and put it in the bowl. I sat at the table and began eating. Once I got done eating, I set the bowl in the sink and ran water into it. I walked out of the kitchen and Twilight was still up. I walked over to the front door to leave, until Twilight spoke up.
"Justin. Can you come back here when you're off work, please. We're having guests over."
"Sure. Who is it-?" I turned around and she was instantly asleep. I laughed a little at the site. I walked over to her and picked her up. She weighed about twenty-five to thirty-five pounds. I struggled a bit to get up the stairs, but when I did, I put her in the bed and tucked her in. I did it all quietly as to not wake up Spike. I made my way back downstairs and started cleaning up the scattered books and notes. I set them all in a big stack. After I was done, I exited her home. I started my way towards the spa, hoping for no distractions. After about ten or so minutes, I reached the spa. It was still closed. I looked inside and the clock said 7:30. Well, that's not too bad. Only have to wait thirty minutes. I sat down in my original spot where I first waited. A little while later, Aloe and Lotus came into view. I waved happily at them. They smiled and trotted up to the door "Hey girls. Did you both get a good night sleep?"
"Yes, thank you. And I also finished your requested poster." She pulled it out of her saddlebag and presented it to me. She drew two hands and it said 'New Human Services'.
"That's pretty cool. Thanks, Lotus." She smiled at me. She removed her old poster from the window sill and put the new one up. I walked all the way into the back to get to my room. I sat in the chair and waited. About three boring hours later, my first customer was Fluttershy. "Good morning, Fluttershy."
"Good morning. How's working here at the spa?"
"Sometimes boring. But it's a pretty lazy job, so I like it. How are the animals doing."
"They're doing great."
"What did you order?"
"An hour." At least an hour will make this work day go by faster. She walked over to the table and laid down. I cracked my knuckles to loosen up my fingers and hands. I think it unsettled her a little after each pop. I walked over to her and started rubbing on her back to feel the tense muscle. She wasn't even that tense. It felt like she wasn't at all. I started rubbing her hind legs and they were a bit tense. Then I looked at her wings.
"Do you want me to massage your wings, also?" She didn't answer. I walked in front of her and she had her front hooves under her head and she was asleep. Either I'm really good. Or really boring. Well I don't want to disturb her. Ugh. What do? I looked around and found my chair. I picked her up and set her in the chair. She was still asleep and snored softly a bit. I sat on the floor near the chair and waited for the next customer.
I sat there waiting for awhile for my next customer, until the door opened up revealing Aloe. "Why is it taking so long for Fluttershy's massage." She looked at me, with a look of sterness and concern. I pointed at the chair and she eased a little. Why was she mad? It's not like I was gonna kill her. How could I? She's too adorable for me to be able to do that. "Do you want your next customer?"
"Sure send 'em in." She motioned for the next customer to come in. It was the same purple coated pony from the party. "Hello. My name is-"
"Justin. From the party. That was a blast, wasn't it?"
"It sure was. Too bad you passed out."
"Hehehe. By the way, my name is Berry Punch. Sorry I didn't get to meet you at the party. I was just a little scared."
"It's okay. You just gotta get used to the fact that a new species, you've never seen before, is now living in your town."
"You're probably right. Why is Fluttershy asleep in your chair."
"I massaged her very well, and she just fell asleep."
"Don't worry. I won't." She walked over to the table and laid down. "I ordered an hour, please." I walked over to the table and started rubbing her back. She was tense everywhere. I rubbed her shoulders, her hind legs and her neck. What do you do? Are you Ponyville's town drunk.
"Alright, you're all done." I got no response. I walked in front of her and found her sleeping, as well. Aww c'mon! I looked around trying to figure out where to put her. I got an idea. I took off my jacket and laid it flat on the floor, next to my chair. I set her on it and she snored, almost simultaneously with Fluttershy. I sat back down on the floor waiting for my next customer.
This went on for the whole day. I get a new pony customer, she falls asleep, and I place them somewhere in the room. I now have six ponies on the floor, asleep. I walked over to Fluttershy and woke her up first. "Hey, yo, Fluttershy. Wake up." She woke up slowly with a big yawn.
"Has it been an hour already?" She said, tiredly.
"Yep. Plus seven hours." Her eyes shot open, and she flew straight up, in shock. She looked around the room and saw all the ponies asleep.
"D-did I fall asleep?" I nodded. "Oh, Justin. I am so, so sorry. I didn't mean to. I stayed up most of the night trying to catch the chickens and put them back in their coop. And I didn't get enough sleep. And then I-"
"Fluttershy. It's okay. I'm not mad. Not at all. I'm very glad that I helped you relax enough to get some sleep."
"Well, thank you." She reached into her saddlebag and pulled out two gold coins. I took them out of her mouth and wiped it a little. I put them in my pocket and waved goodbye to Fluttershy. I woke up the rest of the ponies and some of them freaked out, because they had a whole day of chores to do. Those that did need to do chores, were mad at me for not waking them up. I explained to them why I didn't. Mainly because, I always hated being woken up from a nap. They each gave me a silver or a gold coin for the excellent, friendly service. I picked up my last jacket after the last pony had stopped yelling at me. I walked down the hall and out the double doors. I was now on my way to Twilight's house. I opened the door and found Twilight and two other ponies sitting down with her. One was white and had both wings and a horn. The cutie mark was the sun and her hair was really long. The other pony was dark blue, and she also had both wings and a horn. Her cutie mark was a crescent sun and her hair was just as long as the other pony's.
"So. Who're your friends?" I asked.
"Justin, this is Princess Luna," she said as she pointed at the dark blue pony, "and this is Princess Celestia. Princesses, this is Justin." She then pointed at me. They both stood up and walked towards me. They were at least taller than me by one and a half human heads. Luna was a little shorter than her. Holy crap. I don't think I have ever been this scared in my life......... Is that pee? I thought as I looked down. I looked back up and they stood about two feet away from me. I knelt down on one knee and tilted my head downwards, showing my respect.
"Rise my new child." She said to me in a soft voice. I stood and stared up at her. "Thank you for showing us your respect."
"Well, it's not everyday you see royalty."
"Do you not have royalty where you come from?" Luna asked.
"I do. But not where I lived."
"Why not?" I just shrugged. I could never figure out the government and other worldly civilizations. They walked over to where they were sitting and sat back down. "Come over here. We want to talk to you, too." I complied and walked over and sat next to Twilight. I bet they could kill me with one strike, or some sort of magical spell. "So, Mr. Justin-"
"Call me Justin, please." I said, interrupting Princess Celestia.
"Justin. Was there anything you wanted to do when you grow up, back on your planet?"
"Only to be a doctor at an insane asylum. I never really did plan my future. I did have a plan just in case of a zombie apocalypse. But that's about it. It never happened, so now I think it was just a complete waste of time."
"My turn," Luna said. "If you had a choice to stay here or go back to your home planet, which would you choose?"
"Definitely here. Everypony here is so much nicer than the people back where I'm from. I hated a lot of people back on Earth. So far, I don't hate anypony here. Now it's my turn to ask a question." I started thinking about what to ask them. After a few minutes, I thought up of one. "How old are both of you?"
"I'm over one thousand years old and Luna is nine hundred ninety-five years old. Do you have any plans in the future here?"
"Well, I'm hoping to get enough money to buy a house for myself and stop mooching off of my friends. Plus, I do want to visit Canterlot and Cloudsdale. In fact, next week, we're all going to Canterlot to see one of Octavia's shows."
"Ooh, ooh, Tia. Since they're coming up here for the show, why don't we let them stay in the castle for the week. From this Sunday to the next." She said. When she got done, she sat on her haunches and started clapping her front hooves together at her idea.
"That is a great idea, Luna. Twilight, invite all of your friends to Canterlot this weekend."
"Will do, Princess." Awesome! A sleep over in a castle. Maybe I should ask Rarity to make me a tuxedo. I've always wanted one. The Princesses stood up and looked down at me.
"It was nice meeting you, Justin. But we have royal duties to attend. We will see you Sunday. Goodbye."
"Bye." I said waving. They just stood there, standing straight up and looking straight forward. After a second, Princess Celestia's horn started glowing. And in a bright flash, they teleported out of the room. "Alright! Goodnight, Twilight!" I yelled as I took my jacket off and rolled it up. I laid down in the exact same spot and Twilight put the same blanket over me. I looked over my shoulder and she went back to studying. She only had a small lamp on, instead of the main light. I closed my eyes and started going to sleep.

Author's note: I'm sorry this chapter took a long time. I was busy drawing some more and time escaped from me. Same with homework, but I only spend about ten minutes on that. Chapter 8 will be a little late, as well. Family matters going on this weekend and I'm going out of town to visit them. They don't have internet, so my weekend is basically ruined. Again, I am sorry for the lateness of this chapter. Once I'm done with my coloring on this drawing, it will be the new story's picture.
