	After twilight had spike send a message to princess Celestia informing her of where to meet them, they started toward sweet apple acres jaruk and the mares he was traveling with garnered a lot of nervous looks and mutters. For him, this was a mild source of amusement as he made faces at the ponies who stared at him. Fluttershy had been watching him awhile when she said "Did you hurt your leg when you arrived? your limping."
He looked at her and said "Well, i got jumped a couple years back by a couple of thugs who thought that i looked like an easy mark, but they quickly learned that i am a whole hell of a lot meaner than i look when i am feeling cornered, but i took a knife to the knee in the process, and it didn't heal right. Now, can we get back to my place? The look that unicorn is giving me is making me really nervous."
The unicorn in question was mint green with long white hair and a lyre for a cutie mark. There was a surprised look on her face, but there was also a bit of maniacal glee mixed in.
As they started walking again, she followed them. When they sped up, she sped up. It soon became an all out high speed chase through ponyville. They finally managed to get away from her when twilight teleported everyone to sweet apple acres. Once there it took a few minutes for them to recover from the sudden teleportation.
"Who the hell was that pony? She looked like she wanted to have her way with me!"
The girls all giggled at that, then twilight said, "That was Lyra. Shes been going on for years about how humans are real, but nopony ever believed her. so when she saw you, you can imagine her excitement."
He just nodded at this and said, "Well, i was wondering, why is everyone here naked? Not that I'm complaining.
She looked puzzled for a moment, then said "Well, except for when there is bad weather or for formal events, we don't usually need them. Our fur gives us all the protection we need."
He seemed to think this over for a moment, then shrugged in acceptance.
At his cabin they found that someone had closed his front door. As he opened the front door, a large living room was revealed. The walls were covered with bookshelves. On the far wall was a TV with an Xbox 360 hooked up to and a small collection of games and movies on the shelf above it. The rest of the shelves were loaded with books of every kind. The furniture was made from pecan wood and was well worn but beautiful and well cared for. The kitchen was sparsely furnished, with a table, some chairs, a stove, and a fridge Furthermore, it seemed that he had visitors.  Five ponies sat in his kitchen. The largest one was pure white with a long mane that seemed to be blowing in a breeze that only affected her. On her head sat a crown and a horn. she also had a pair of large white wings on her back and what looked like a large necklace with her cutie mark on it. As she stood up, it was quite obvious that she, like every other pony that he had met up to this point wore absolutely no clothes. 
"Hello, you must be the creature that twilight told me about in her letter. Jaruk, is it? I am princess Celestia, the co-ruler of Equestria. And this is my sister princess Luna." At this introduction, another pony stood up. she was a bit shorter than Celestia, and was covered in blue fur that was so dark that it was almost black. She also wore a crown and necklace, but they were black instead of gold. " I am pleased to meet you as well. But i must say, you are rather odd looking aren't you?" 
As jaruk turned and went to the cabinet, he said "Well, for a human I'm fairly normal, but compared to the people living around here i guess i would seem rather strange." As he pulled out a bowl, a spoon, and a can of cat food and set Frankie down, he then began preparing it as he turned to the three other ponies sitting at his kitchen table and asked "Now who might you three young ladies be?"
The first one to answer was tan with long red hair done up with a red bow. "I'm applebloom, I'm applejack's younger sister." She said then sat down. Next up was a light orange Pegasus with a purple mane and small wings. "I'm scootaloo." She was obviously the tomboy of the group. Finally, the last one to stand up was a white unicorn with purple, two toned hair. "Hi, I'm sweetie belle. I'm rarity's little sister." She said shyly before sitting down. 
"Well, its nice to meet all of you, I'm jaruk. Why don't the three of you go get something to read off of one of the bookshelves in the living room?"
As they ran off to do so, he put the bowl of food down in front of the kitten and said "Well, take a seat. I'm hoping that someone here can tell me how i got here."
As they all sat down, twilight said, " well, i may be able to answer that question. You see, yesterday i went up to the attic to retrieve a book called interdimensonal summoning, only to discover that it was missing. I believe that sweetie belle took it and performed one of the spells in that book, pulling you into our world. What her intentions were, we don't know."
"Well," He said with a raised eyebrow, "Why don't you call her in here and ask her?" He said. At this, she turned and said "Sweetie belle, would you come in here for a moment please?"
As the young unicorn stepped around the corner, a nervous look on her face, Jaruk turned to Celestia and Luna and said "Princesses, would you step into my office with me for a moment? I have something that i would like to discuss with you in private."
"Of course." Said Celestia as all three of them stood up and her and Luna followed him down the hall and into a small office, where he closed and locked the door.
The first thing he said to them after all they were sitting around the desk was "Do either of you know any spells that will keep everyone inside from hearing what we are discussing?"
They both nodded. 
"Would you please cast it then? The topic that i must discuss with you is rather sensitive."
Luna concentrated and there was a flash of light. " there," she said, "now, what is it you wanted to discuss?"
He closed his eyes for a moment to get every thing straight, then said, "First, i must ask you one question. Your answer to this question will determine how long this takes."
"And what is this Question?" said Luna.
"Do you ponies have television?"
They both looked surprised at this, then Celestia said "Yes, we do. Is that a problem?"
"No, in fact this will go a lot faster because of that. Now, back in my world, i was a member of called the brony brigade. This group helped to spread the message of a t.v. show called "My little pony: friendship is magic." This show followed the adventures of six mares from a place called ponyville and promoted tolerance and acceptance of others despite their differences. Those mares are now sitting in my kitchen. All of you looked just a bit different in the show though. Furthermore one of the ponies, a unicorn known as sweetie bell, in this cabin is the reason i am here in equestria, instead of back home, going about my business. Out of respect, i thought that you two would like to know this. I will also keep this information to my self until you decide that if its okay to let everyone else in on this. Any questions?" 
They looked thoughtful for a moment, then Celestia said "How do we know that you are telling us the truth? And what did you mean when you said that we look just a bit different from the characters in this show of yours?"
He looked thoughtful for a moment, then he reached into the desk that he was sitting at and pulled out a large white binder and placed it in front of them.
"Now, i can't show you the various movies i have because i don't have any power, but the contents of this binder should answer both of those questions fairly well. Go ahead and take a look."
As Celestia opened the binder, pages upon pages of cards were revealed to the princesses. As her and Luna flipped through the binder, a thoughtful look crossed both their faces.
She left Luna to flipping through it, turned to him and said, "Well, this has answered both of my questions quite well. But i think that you should go ahead and tell the element bearers what you just told us, but how much you tell them i am leaving up to you. Now we must return to canterlot." By this time, Luna had finished flipping through the binder. "I just happened to notice that you are a gamer. Perhaps we shall meet up on the gaming circuit." she said. She then deactivated the sound proof spell, and they teleported away.
As he walked out of the office, a thoughtful expression on his face, Twilight was just finishing up questioning sweetie bell.
As he sat down at the table Frankie, who had finished eating, climbed in to his lap and started cleaning himself.
He petted Frankie for a moment, who promptly turned around and started gnawing on his hand, then turned to twilight and said, "Well, did she say why she took the spell book and summoned me?"
She looked at him and said, "Well, it seems that she was planning on making whatever she managed to summon her familiar."
He looked at her and asked, "Did she say what prompted this?"
"Well, it seems that there were some foals at school who were giving her a hard time about her lack of skill with magic. So she came up with this plan to prove them wrong."
Jaruk heaved a heavy sigh. "So, you're telling me that i was pulled away from my own world, where i had friends, family, and a job that i enjoyed, things that at this point, i don't know if I'll ever be able to get back to, just so some teenager could make a point, and gain what amounts to a slave in the process?"
"That's what it looks like so far." 
"Well, shit. So, Will i be able to get back home one day?"
"Maybe, maybe not the spell that she used is meant as a kind of one way tunnel."
"Okay, i have one more question."
"What is it?"
"How would she have made me her familiar?"
"Well, ideally, the spell that would bind you to her as a familiar would also be woven into the summoning spell, but it seems that she didn't include it."
"So, since she didn't include this binding spell, I'm not bound to her?"
"That is correct. Although she could also perform the spell at a later date and still achieve the same effect."
Fluttershy looked out the window, saw that it was getting dark, and said , "It's getting late. I need to get back and feed all my animal friends. Angel bunny gets especially cranky if he's not fed on time."
At this, the others agreed and they all got up to leave. As they got to the door, " he said "Twilight, and this goes for the rest of you as well, feel free to borrow any of my books that catch your interest. I've got bookcases lining all the rooms, except for the kitchen and the bathroom, and they're all packed. I have a little of everything except pure romance. I expect them to be returned when you're through with them. "
At this, she let a delighted squeal and ran over to the nearest bookshelf and started examining books. As the others left with a shake of their heads and a small chuckle, Twilight turned to him and said "How come you don't have any romance novels?"
"Well, it's not that i don't like romance, i just don't like it being the sole focus of a story."
She nodded than said, "Well, i must be going." She then left with a large stack of books held in her magic.
As he closed the door and went about making his supper, The thought that went through his mind was , "And to think , when i woke up this morning i thought that it was going to be a boring day."
