Twilight felt like a filly who just lost an argument with a older pony, only difference was that this was an a creature that was supposed to just be a myth, now here it was an actual human in her home, with her friends, about to ask questions about all of them. And than... And than... Twilight couldn't imagine what would come next after this. Vincent on the other hand was thinking more on what he should tell these so called Elements of Harmony, he didn't want to give certain information about himself. Looking at these six, he could tell that while some of these ponies didn't look like the sharpest of individuals, he knew looks could be deceiving. Obviously these six weren't like Lyra, Derpy, or the fillies. In terms of gaining their trust easily but still they might be just as easy to manipulate. The ponies, fillies, and Vincent found a place to sit and get comfortable, since they all knew this might take a while. Twilight decided to check up on Spike and see what he was up to.
"I'll be right back I need to check on Spike, real quick." Twilight said, as she walked up the stairs.
Vincent wondered who this Spike was. He decided to asks the white unicorn, since she was the closes by him. "Hey?"
"Umm... Yes?" Rarity asked, a little nervousness the human was asking her a question.
"Who's Spike." Vincent asked, noticing how he made the unicorn nerves, but he didn't care, he wanted an answer.
"Oh Spike is the most amazing, wonderful, helpful, reliable, sweet, and most darling little friend you could ever ask or hope to met. He's Twilight's assistance and from time to time my little helper, he helps find gems, takes care of the libary, sends ,messages to the princesses for Twilight, and he also –” Rarity was cut off by Vincent, when he raised his hand to her.
"I just asked who he is, not his résumé." Vincent said, a little annoyed.
"Oh... Sorry. In short he's a baby dragon, who is also Twilight's assistant." Rarity said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"That's all I needed to know. Vincent said, he sat back down in his, as a thought came to his head. "A fucking dragon. Ha! I'm not even surprised."
I went up to my room, as fast as I could. The thought of leaving everypony down their with a human wasn't something I want to happen for to long. I opened the door slowly. If spike was asleep I didn't want to wake him up, not yet at least. He already has enough on his talons with the chores I leave for him to do. Last thing I want is for him to have a bad attitude, when he meets the human. I was right he was asleep and judging by the way he was laying down, Spike had barely fallen asleep. I closed the door and went back down stares, I saw the human was looking around my home... No he was scanning it. The way a predator scans it's surroundings. I went to Applejack.
"What's he been doing while I was gone?" Twilight asked, who better to ask than Applejack, who always pays attention to everything.
"Beside looking around your house, nothing. He did walk over to Rarity to ask her something but I didn't hear what he said." Applejack said, looking at the human and than back to Twilight. "Other than that, he's just been sitting there.
"Ok thanks." Twilight said, she wanted to keep track of whatever the human did, no matter how small.
"Hey Twi, how are we going to handle this?" Applejack asked, since twilight always seemed to have an answer to most situations.
"Right now he just wants to ask questions, so that's will do. He'll ask us questions, we will give him answers. Than we'll ask him questions and he'll give us answers." Twilight explained, Now that she said it out loud it seemed a lot simpler than she thought it would be.
"And after that?" Applejack, still a little skeptical on where this would go after all the questions.
"We take him to the princesses. They'll decide on what to do next." Twilight answered.
"Ok sounds simple enough." Applejack said, feeling more at ease.
"I'm hoping it will be that simple." Twilight thought, still not sure if this was the right decision to make, as she continued to look at the human.
I have to admit this tree house wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It definitely distinguished itself from Lyra's house, but this seemed more like a library than someone... Err pony's home, I'm gonna have to get use to saying that. This Twilight girl must really like to read, either that or she was the local librarian. Maybe both but that's irrelevant. I looked around to see what I could use as an exit in case this went bad. One door and a couple of windows, that's not including the upstairs room, more than likely there be another door and some more windows. Alright I got everything about this place down and now the purple hybrid is back, now its time to talk.
"Your dragon is asleep?" Vincent ask, his question caught Twilight by surprise.
"How did you know–” Twilight was cut off.
"Your friend told me." Vincent said, pointing towards Rarity.
"Oh." Twilight said, feeling a little embarrassed, but lost it when she remembered what they where here to do. "So, should we get started?"
"Yes we should. Last time I did this it was with them." Vincent pointed at Lyra and Derpy, who where sitting down just watching. "And they asked the questions first. I think it's fair that I ask first this time."
"Fair enough. Go ahead." Twilight said, seeing that that did make sense, especially sense this was technically his meeting.
"Ok what are all your names and what elements do you represent? And to avoid wasting a question, my names Vincent." Vincent said, not wanting to waste time on his name.
"Ok, well I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight answered, she figured this was a good start to a long line of questions to come. "I'm the element of magic."
"Princess Twilight Sparkle actually." Rarity said, adding her friend's new title.
"Rarity!" Twilight yelled, Feeling a little embarrassed again.
"Oh, don't be so modest my dear." Rarity said, feeling her friend should be proud of her new statues.
"So your a princess to? I'll ask about that later though." Vincent said, his curiosity was on that but he wanted to know these ponies names first.
"Well than, I believe I'm next. My name I Rarity, I'm a fashion designer and the element of generosity." Rarity said, proudly.
"A little to prideful in that element." Vincent thought.
"I'm Rainbow Dash! Fastest flyer in all of Equestria and the element of loyalty." Rainbow Dash said, more proudly than Rarity.
"I hate arrogance but she might still be useful." Vincent thought, as he ignored the rainbow pony's bragging.
"I'm Applejack. I live at Sweet Apple Acres and I'm the element of honesty." Applejack answered.
"Honesty? Don't get to much of that back in L.A." Vincent chuckled at this thought.
"I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy said in her usual quite tone.
"What?" Vincent asked, obviously not able to her the pegasus.
"I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy said, again in her quite tone, this time Vincent was annoyed.
"Is she always like this?" Vincent asked, looking at Twilight.
"Only when she meets new ponies, but this is the first time she's met a human." Twilight looked towards Derpy and back at Vince. "Derpy said it was a new animal that needed help and she loves animals. Don't worry it's usually around the third time, she says it loud enough"
"Well?" Vincent said, as he looked back at the shy pegasus.
"I'm... Fluttershy." Fluttershy managed to finally say clear enough. "I'm the element of kindness."
"This horse might as well be a schizophrenic." Vincent thought as the he looked at the shy pony.
This seem to be going well all that's left is... Pinkie Pie. What is up with her today she's been quite, but her mane is still the same. I hope whatever is bothering her she puts aside for this question.
"So who are you?" Vincent asked, turning his attention to the pink colored pony. She said nothing at all.
"Umm pinkie are you ok?" Fluttershy asked, concerned for her friends out of character behavior.
"I... I..." Pinkie Pie managed to utter out.
"Pinkie are you –” Rainbow Dash was cut off by Pinkie Pie's scream of joy, as she ran to the human.
Vincent jerk his head back, as the pony got extremely close to his face rambling on about things so fast he could barely understand the majority of words that where coming out of her mouth. Pinkie Pie went into maximum exciting mode, as the story creature she had been told as a filly, by her grandmother was actually right in front of her. Lyra watched in shock, she turned to Derpy.
"Is that how I was?" Lyra asked, her cheeks beginning to turn red.
"Sort of. Although you weren't talking that fast." Derpy said, trying to be honest but not hurtful to Lyra's feelings.
"Oh ok." Lyra said, feeling her cheeks turning red.
"I can't believe it an actual human I mean I had heard it as an old story my grandma use to tell me as a filly but I never thought you where actually real that's why I had forgotten about you humans as I got older but a part of me knew that there was a small itty-bitty chance you humans where real." Was all Vincent could understand from the fast talking pony, who continued to talk fast.
"Pinkie!" Twilight yelled, she was able to get the party pony to stop talking. Instead Pinkie giggled as she backed away from the human, who looked at her with an annoyed expression.
"Sorry. I got a little excited there, for a moment." Pinkie Pie admitted, letting out another giggle.
"A little doesn't do her reaction justice." Scootaloo whispered, to Applebloom, who chuckled softly.
"Umm, Pinkie." Applejack said to her friend, reminding her of the human's question.
"Oh right! I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie. But my friends call me Pinkie Pie, you can call me that to since we will be friends!" Pinkie yelled out in excitement. "I'm the element of laughter."
"This one's definitely going to get on my nerves." Vincent thought, as he gave the pink pony a emotionless look.
"Ok got your names and elements, shouldn't be to hard to remember." Vincent said, they where off to a good. Now it was the ponies turn. "So from what I heard you six are basically some kind of protectors or something like that, to this town right?"
"Sort of. We do use our elements when they are needed, in certain situations." Twilight answered.
"Ok that will be useful to remember. Alright go ahead and ask a question." Vincent said, knowing the ponies will have questions of their own.
"Alright, what's your name?" Twilight asked, seeing as this was the first question to be asked.
"Vincent." Vincent said simply.
"Vincent? That's it? Nothing else?" Applejack asked.
"Vincent's all you need to know." Vincent said, No one had ever know his last name and he was going to keep it that way. "So, one thing that's had my attention since I got here. What's with the tattoos on your asses?"
"What? You mean are cutie marks?" Rainbow Dash, answered and questioned.
"No way in hell am I saying that." Vincent though, hating that ridicules name. "Yes, what are they for."
"Twilight, want to handle this one?" Rainbow Dash asked, figuring Twilight could explain it better.
"Sure. Cutie marks are what a pony earns when they find their special talent." Twilight explain.
"Special talent?" Vincent asked, still a little confused.
"It means it often relates to the personality, proclivity, or talent of the pony." Derpy said, catching everypony's attention. "What I know things to."
"Ok moving on. What are your leaders like?" Vincent asked, he'll have to meet them eventually, might as well get some information on them.
"There are two princesses, who are the rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Celestia controls the sun while Luna controls the moon. Twilight explanation, caught Vincent's attention.
"One controls the sun and the other controls the moon?" Vincent asked, wandering if the pony was serious.
"Yes." Twilight simply answered.
"Ok, in a world like this, that was bound to be a possibility." Vincent thought, seeing that this world was no different than any fairy tail book.
"So what's the human world like?" Twilight asked.
"If I try to explain every little thing than we will be here all day. Just imagine the complete opposite of your world and that's about it." Vincent said, not satisfying the ponies curiosity but they couldn't argue.
"Do humans have cutie marks?" Fluttershy asked, speaking up more loudly.
"No." Vincent simply said.
"Oh ok." Fluttershy said, seeing that Vincents did not wanting to get into any specifics.
"Is there any thing to eat around here?" Vincent said, this was something he would need to know.
"Oh we have candy, cotton candy, chocolate, cakes, pie, milk shakes, and cupcakes." Pinkie Pie said exciting. "And that's just the few sweets we have."
"Great I'm going to die of diabetes." Vincent thought, feeling like he just got screwed over on that one. "Anything else besides sweet?"
"Well we have fruit, like my families apples." Applejack said, seeing that Vincent wasn't to happy about seeing sweets.
"That will help I guess." Vincent said, that brought him some relief but still meat was something he wanted to know, if they had.
"I know this is a stupid question, before I even ask but do you ponies have meat." Vincent's question, did gain him some worried looks from each of the ponies. "Well?"
"You eat... Meat?" Fluttershy asked, her voice trembled a little.
"Yeah I do." Vincent said, not caring about the looks the ponies where giving him.
"Umm we don't eat meat dear." Rarity said, a little disgusted.
"Yeah I figured that out already, so stop staring at me already for fuck's sake. I'm not going to eat any of you, for the love of God stop worrying." Vincent said , irritated that these ponies would think that, still he knew it was a pointless question to ask but he had to ask.
"Oh but what about other animals?" Fluttershy asked, worried for her animals.
"Only if I was desperate enough." Vincent said, both lying and telling the truth, he just wanted the shy pony to stop looking at him like a scared kid, it was annoying. "Why are you so worried anyway?"
"I own a cottage, where I take care of animals." Fluttershy explained, Vincent figured this pony was basically the veterinarian of this place, who loves animals a little to much.
"Well I for my next question. What exactly do you ponies do for a living? Since I'm sure those elements don't come with a paycheck." Vincent asked, he smirked a little since he figured being some kind of protectors to a whole town would get you a decent paycheck.
"We'll I'm a fashion designer." Rarity said. "I make the best clothing in Ponyville. Which reminds me I would like to talk to you about your clothing later."
"Sure." Vincent said, agreeing since it he knew already that these ponies could do anything harmful to him at this point, though he had to wonder why a pony would want to talk to him about his clothing.
"I work at the weather factory. It's how we control the weather." Rainbow Dash said, catching Vincent's curiosity.
"Wait. You mean you pegasus have to change the weather yourselves?" Vincent asked, actually a little impressed.
"Yep, it's a big responsibility." Rainbow dash said proudly.
"These ponies would make every scientist, back on earth bash their heads against a wall." Vincent laughed at this thought "That's actually pretty impressive. What do you do anyway."
"I work at Sweet Apple Acres, it's a family business. And we make the best apples you'll every taste." Applejack said, Vincent could tell this pony had a lot of pride in that statement.
"Ok, I'll have to give them a try some day." Vincent said, he would need something to eat anyway, not only sweets.
"I work at Sugarcube Corner. it's where you can get the tastiest sweets." Pinkie Pie said, as she bounced past Vincent.
"Looks like I know what I'll be avoiding." Vincent thought, if this Pinkie worked there, than he wouldn't visit there. "And finally you."
"Oh I'm the Librarian." Twilight said, giving a smile to Vincent, as she hoped he would like books.
"Didn't really need to ask that. At least with this library I'll be able to learn things, that may become useful." Vincent thought, as he nodded his head at Twilight, she took that as a confirmation that he liked books.
Vincent was decided that he asked enough questions. For the past thirty minutes he had learned plenty but it seemed these elements didn't have much to offer in terms of info, that could be considered life changing since he had already excepted the fact that this pony world might be his new home. He could go ahead and just move on to what was to come next, since he had already learned what these ponies names are, there elements, and what they do. Vincent got up and walked over to Twilight.
"Ok I've heard enough. Take me to your Princesses and lets get it over with." Vincent said, the way his tone of voice was made Twilight worry again, she hoped that this wouldn't go bad.
