The flight back home wasn't long, before they knew it they were back at Twilight's home. Everypony had asked Vincent what he wanted to do now, he had decided that after everything that had happened he needed to rest for a while. They understood what he meant it wasn't every day you become part of a new world, it sounded exhausting. Everypony said their goodbye and went home. Vincent made sure to let Lyra, Derpy, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo that he appreciated their help in getting this all moving along. The CMC huge Vincent who was surprised by it but let them finish up. He promised Lyra and Derpy that when he could he would find time to hang out with them again but first he had to get himself settled in. Vincent and Twilight walked to her house and headed inside once they reached it. Once inside the pair noticed Spike, who was sweeping the library.
"Hi guys, back already?" Spike said, looking at the two.
"Hi Spike and yes we are." Twilight said, looking at the library to make sure it was clean.
"How'd it go for you Vincent?" Spike asked, curious as to how things had turn out for the human.
"I'd say pretty well since they didn't try to force me to leave." Vincent said, giving a quick nod to the little dragon. Vincent began looking around the library. Examining his new home. "Oh yeah and hi good to see you Spike."
"So what did you think of the princesses?" Spike asked, eager to hear his response.
"They were interesting characters." He said, it's a good thing this treehouse slash library was big, space wouldn't be a problem.
"Is that good or bad?" Spike asked, not sure on what Vincent meant by that.
"It's good for now. Though I haven't really gotten a chance to know them yet so I can only assume so much about them from what I hear." Vincent said, though he still didn't fully trust any of the ponies here but those princesses being the highest authority figure in this world he would have to keep a close eye on them, something he expect those sisters to be doing to him while he was here.
"Oh Spike I've got so good news." Twilight said, hoping Spike would be just as excited as she was.
"Really? Cool, what is it?" Spike said, curiosity was in his eyes.
"Vincent will now be living with us." Twilight said, she still couldn't believe that a actual human was going to be living with her.
Spike was pretty surprised by that, he knew Twilight would never lie to him about something as big as that but just to make sure he looked at Vincent, who gave him a nod that confirmed Twilight's news. Spike didn't mind that Vincent would be staying with them especially since Vincent had kind of a laid back personality, kind of like himself. Plus it be nice to finally have another guy hanging around here rather than always girls, he did like the others since they were his friends to but still having another guy in the group would be pretty cool, save for Owlowiscious and also even things out to. Yeah he knew that this would be a good thing.
"That sound cool to me." Spike said, he nodded at Twilight and Vincent than got back to sweeping. "Hope you enjoy your stay Vincent and like living here."
"I'm sure I will Spike." Vincent said, after all what other choice did he have? Bitching about it definitely wasn't his style and he already accepted the fact that he wasn't going back home, so best option was to just get use to this world.
"Alright Vincent here's a extra room here that nopony uses but now it's yours." Twilight said, she'd hoped that her home would be good by Vincent's standers though she could only hope that her home would be ok enough for him.
"Your room will be the extra guest room upstairs." Twilight said, pointing her hoof to the upstairs.
"Alright thanks for the info." Vincent said, he took a seat at one of the chairs that was close by. "I'm just sit here for a while."
"Alright I understand." Twilight said, it had been one heck of a day after all. "Feel free to put your things up."
"Thanks Twilight but I don't have anything remember?" Vincent said, only thing he did have was the clothes on his back.
"What about this bag?" Spike said, holding the bag up in front of the Vincent and Twilight, he was having a little trouble holding it up. "It's kind of heavy."
"Spike before I take that bag I have to ask, did you look inside that bag?" Vincent asked, he needed to know if Spike looked at his guns.
"No I didn't." Spike said, he was too busy cleaning to give a quick look inside the bag.
"Ok good." Vincent said, he reached and took the bag from Spike and put it beside him.
"Vincent if I may ask, what's in the bag?" Twilight asked, she hadn't noticed that bag before. How did she let that slip by her?
"It's just some things from Earth." Vincent said, now besides his suit these guns would also be a last reminder of his old life.
"Oh really? May I see please?" Twilight said, she really wanted to see what human items Vincent brought with him.
"Sorry Twilight but these are some personal things that I'd prefer to keep to myself." Vincent said, he would like to keep these things from ever being seen by the ponies.
"Oh ok." Twilight said, her disappointment had shown she really wanted to see human items but she would respect his privacy. "You think maybe one day I'll be able to see them?"
"Maybe one day but right now these things stay with me." Vincent said, he had just gotten the ok to stay here and right now he didn't need to jeopardize that, it's not that he was afraid of being on his own, considering the life of a hitman was basically all about being on your own and was damn good at that back on Earth hell he was the best but still right now he needed a place to stay for a while. "Like I said it's personal."
"Of course." Twilight said, despite her own desire to see what was in the bag she had to respect Vincent's wishes after all he would be living with her from now on and the last thing she'd want is Vincent not trusting her.
"Thanks Twilight, now if you don't mind I'm just going to sit here and think." Vincent said, thinking was starting to become a habit for him, like the junkies with their drugs back on earth but there wasn't much he could do but think so screw it.
"Ok I'm going to continue some of my studies. If you need me just call me name." Twilight said, giving a quick smile before going to her study desk.
Vincent gave a quick nod to her and then sat back and let his thoughts run wild. Most of the thoughts were ones he had already had before but still came back since some of them felt incomplete, others were newer ones that said, "How will I adjust to this place?", "Can I really call this place my home?", "Will these ponies treat me as an equal, fear me, or see me as lower than them?", and finally "Am I sure I'm not dead?" All these things running throw his head were giving him a headache, he wished aspirin had managed to end up in this world with him to. He also had to wonder if this place would change his personality to. After all he liked who he was even if others didn't back on earth but in a world were peace is all over the place and violence seems to have died off, what good was he to anyone now, especially himself? What the hell was he supposed to do with his life now? Some many things were out of his control. Even though he was a man who embraced the uncertainty of the universe he felt like he was really getting fucked over now. Not to mention that town meeting the princesses wanted to have to introduce him to all the ponies of this world and lord knows how that was going to turn out, especially since he always preferred to stay out of the public eye and here he was going to be the center of attention. Also there was that part that Twilight's friend wanted to do for him, what was her name? Pinkie Pie, he'd have to hope that it would be just a small get together with the ponies that already knew he existed because if it was a big one with others showing up than that was going to be a problem since he wasn't much for parties especially since they mostly ended in bloodshed when he was around. All things considered he would have to wait and see were his new life was heading.
"Hey Vincent?" Spike said, breaking Vincent's concentration.
"Yeah Spike?" Vincent said, looking at the little dragon.
"I was wondering, out of everypony else why did you pick Twilight's home to live?" Spike asked, he didn't get a lot of chances to ask Vincent many questions, he figured he'd take this opportunity to ask Vincent this.
"You afraid I'm going to take up Twilight's time Spike?" Vincent said, laughing a little as he joked with Spike.
"Oh no it's just you met all of Twilight's friends and out of all of them why Twilight?" Spike asked, he didn't mind Vincent living with them but he was curious why he picked Twilight.
"Well after seeing how each of the girls’ personalities were. I decided that Twilight was the best option for me." Vincent said, it wasn't much of an explanation but that was the truth, besides his options didn't expand on from those six. Well eight including Lyra and Derpy.
"Oh well I'm sure Twilight was very flattered." Spike said, he was happy that Twilight's personality was good enough that the only human wanted to live in her home.
"Yeah she was." Vincent said, he remembered how Twilight's face first started with utter shock and then changed to excitement, he had to admit it was pretty funny.
"Well thank you for making her happy." Spike said, even though Twilight was happy when her and the others were doing something but knew that she was just as happy when a once in a life time opportunity came her way. "I hope you enjoy your new life here in Equestria Vincent."
"Thanks Spike." Vincent said, he decided to check out his new room. “Well I'm going to take a rest, I need one after the days I've had."
"Yeah I understand see you later." Spike said, he could only image how it must have felt to be in Vincent's position but still he hoped he would like his life here in Equestria.
"Bye Spike." Vincent said, the little dragon returned to cleaning as Vincent picked up his bag and went to his room.
Once he was inside he looked around and examined the room. It wasn't much, surprisingly it wasn't too small or to big in fact it was basically the same size as his old room from his house or any house room for that matter back on earth. It looked like these ponies kept showing similar traits with humanity. He went to the bed and laid on it, he really did need to rest and let his head clear and let anything that hadn't sink in by now, fully sink in. As he laid on the bed he had to admit that it was very comfortable probably better than most of the beds back on earth. Still despite feeling relaxed he couldn't stop thinking about what Spike said. New life? His new life. Here in Equestria. Surrounded by talking magical, flying, and even a mixture of both ponies that would forever surrounding him and more than likely keep his life eventful one way or another. How in the hell was he going to live out his days on this planet? And what would he now do with his life? No more killing or taking hits for some of the worst people earth had to offer. No more excitement form chasing, fighting, or shootouts. The more he thought about it the more he realized his life would now be boring, how shitty was that. The more he thought about it the more he got tired, before he knew it he was asleep. No dreams going on in his mind, nothing but darkness and it was peaceful, the most peaceful he's had since he got killed by Max back on earth and had to deal with all the weirdness of this pony world, what was it again? Ponyville right. Well regardless of what Vincent told himself or kept thinking only one thing kept coming to his mind. Now what?
"Vincent?" a voice said in the endless void that was Vincent's dream, he woke up and looked at who the voice belonged to. It was Twilight, who was about to poke at Vincent again. Vincent grabbed her hoof.
"I'm awake Twilight." Vincent said, Twilight gasped being startled by Vincent grabbing her hoof. "What do you want Twilight?"
"Sorry Vincent but can you help me out real quick?" Twilight asked, being nervous about asking Vincent for help especially after they just got back.
"I was asleep Twilight." Vincent said, obviously irritated that his peaceful sleep was disturbed.
"I know and I'm sorry but I really need help with a quick task." Twilight said, now she felt more bad than nervous.
Vincent sigh than sat on the bed, stretched, and got up and look at Twilight. He thought about it for a moment and then figured what the hell it's not like he had anything else to do with his time, hell what the fuck could he do with his time? Sleep all day? Yeah right that wasn't him, he was used to doing hits most of his time but now being here would cut him off from his calling in life he decided that small task here would have to do it for him, otherwise he would go insane from boredness.
"Alright fine." Vincent said, he saw Twilight's eyes light up with happiness.
"Thank you Vincent." Twilight said, she headed towards the door. "Follow me please."
"So what are we doing?" Vincent asked, as he and Twilight headed down the stairs.
"Oh we're putting some things from the outside to inside the house." Twilight said, looking back at Vincent giving him a small smile.
"Sounds pretty simple, why not get Spike to do this?" Vincent said, he already figured out that Spike was the one that would handle every task that Twilight had to do.
"He's already outside getting started." Twilight said, they moved closer to the door. "Again I'm sorry about waking you up, I'm sure you wanted to rest especially after all you've been through."
"Eh it's alright it's not like I had anything better to do than sleep the day away." Vincent said, Twilight reached the door an opened it.
"Well hopefully your days will become more exciting." Twilight said, being the first to head outside.
"I doubt that Twilight." Vincent said, he followed behind her. "So what exactly are we movin –"
"Surprised Vincent Welcome To Equestria!" was yelled at towards Vincent from every direction as lights came on and fireworks were fired into the air. Though this caught Vincent off guard it didn't surprise him but what did surprise him was the fact that in front of him was not only Derpy, Lyra, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Spike, Twilight's friends, the princesses Celestia and Luna, and behind them about a hundred something ponies behind them, not to mention the pegasus and unicorns that were also in the crowd looking at him. Speaking of which they were all looking at him with curious eyes, though some had worried looks while a few had embarrassed looks, what was that about? Either way the all had smiles on their faces as they looked at Vincent. He also noticed that some had cameras, which must have been for the newspapers so that everything else that lived on this plant could see him. The now only human on Equestria now.
"Ok what the hell?" Vincent said, looking at Twilight.
"It's your party Vincent!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping in front of Vincent.
"Party?" Vincent said, he knew he didn't ask for a party.
"Yeah you're welcome party!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping up again higher this time.
"It's also you're big unveiling to the pony of Equestria." Celestia said, now in front of Vincent to.
"I thought that was going to be a town meeting." Vincent said, and that wasn't even spoken to long ago.
"It was but Pinkie Pie sent us a letter explaining to us how it would be better to mix your unveiling with your welcome party." Celestia said, smiling at Pinkie Pie.
"Oh she did, did she?" Vincent said, looking at the pinked pony who smiled at him very cheerfully.
"Yeah! At first I was finishing up the final plans for your "Welcome To Equestria!" Party, when an idea came to my head. It was how much more fun it would be for you and everypony else if we had the town meeting for you and your welcome party mixed together! It be two big events mixed into one, like a cake!" Pinkie Pie said, her mouth moved faster than the words that were coming out but at least this time Vincent could hear her.
"Indeed, it is always best to kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes." Luna said, coming up close to Vincent. Her response also got a shock look from her sister.
"Luna!" Celestia said, she never did like phrases that had death involved with them.
"Forgive me saying but I'm sure Vincent does not mind the phrase, am I correct?" Luna said, looking at Vincent with a small smile.
"Yeah I don't mind we had plenty of phrases like that back on earth. In fact the one you just said is also a phrased used on earth." Vincent said, after all death was no stranger to him. He was familiar with it all too well.
"Is that so? How interesting our species must have more in common with each other than we know." Luna said, Vincent noticed how she was observing him again.
"Maybe some things but I wouldn't say many." Vincent said, eyeing Luna to. Vincent wondered why this pony was so interested in looking at him.
Before Luna could speak again, Pinkie Pie popped up again in between Vincent and Luna, in her usual come out of nowhere fashion. Luna chuckled at Pinkie's usual positive party attitude. Vincent on the other hand was not amused at all, he knew Pinkie Pie would be the one to get on his nervous the most but she was really irritating him right now, especially since this big party event she set up wasn't his type of time spending.
"Come on let's get this welcome party/ unveiling of the only human in Equestria started!" Pinkie Pie said, stretching her arms out as ponies behind her cheered in excitement.
"Yes Pinkie we shall but please allow me to make a quick announcement." Celestia said, she still had to let her little ponies know how to handle being around Vincent.
"Oh of course Princess." Pinkie Pie said, chuckling at her overexcitement.
"Thank you." Celestia said, she looked back at the ponies and cleared her throat. "My little ponies as you know the human here known as Vincent is now going to be a resident of our world and I would like to ask you all to treat him with the same kindness, respect, and friendship our world is known for."
The ponies all looked at each other and muttered a few things before returning their gaze back to Celestia and the human called Vincent. Everypony gave a smile and a nod of agreement. Celestia, pleased with the ponies respond, smiled at all the ponies. She than looked at Vincent who looked at her and nodded his head.
"Thank you my little ponies. One more thing this is Vincent's party, please allow him to enjoy it. Should you have any questions for him please ask permission to ask him and not have too many questions to ask." Celestia said, again the ponies nodded in agreement. "Good now please let us all enjoy the party."
"Alright let's get this party started!" Pinkie Pie said, blowing a party horn and firing her cannon signaling for the DJ, Vinyl, to start the music.
"Enjoy your party Vincent." Celestia said, smiling at him hopping he would have a good time.
"Yes please do, after all this is all for you." Luna said, looking at Vincent with sincere eyes this time.
"Of course." Vincent said, though he wasn't too excited about this he figured he might as well try to enjoy himself after all this wasn't the first party he had attended to plus this time he wouldn't have to kill anyone or get shot at from all directions at this party, since it was his after all. "Alright might as well mingle a little."
For the first few hours Vincent did nothing but answer questions from practically all the ponies. The majority of the questions were simple questions like where he was from, how earth was like, why his color was different from everyone else, ect ect. Thanks to Celestia, he avoided the "what's your name?" Question all together, though they did still mention that Vincent was a strange name to them but he let that slide, not like he could complain. He was getting pretty annoyed with was all the questions after a long while, good thing he managed to convince them that he would answer other question later on since he would be living here now so they wouldn't need to worry about him leaving. Speaking of which he also managed to keep the camera ponies from going past his personal space, though he did allow them to get enough pictures of him for their newspapers but soon managed to get them to back off after a while. After all that he tried to enjoy the party as best he could though it was a little difficult at first. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy parties, he did know how to have a good time after all, whether on the job or not, though he didn't get invited to many parties while he was off the job or when he was a kid, he could still be a fun guy to be around. It was just that this party reminded him again that this would now be his life, anything that involved ponies he was now a part of. No matter what the event would be he would get dragged into because what else could he do? His old hitman life was now dead back on earth, what would he do now? What use would he be now? In retrospect he really should have thought about a second choice in skills besides killing, than again nothing could have prepared him for this weird as hell shit, still he tried to enjoy himself, but after a while he eventually got tired and went behind Twilight's treehouse and sat there with his eyes closed and his mind feeling at ease. Just relaxing with himself and no one else.
"Hi Vincent." A familiar voice was spoken to him. Vincent opened his eyes to see Fluttershy standing in front of him.
"Hi Fluttershy." Vincent said, still laying back on the tree not bothering to get up.
"Not enjoying the party?" Fluttershy asked, she figured that be a reason why Vincent would leave it.
"Nah the party is ok, I just needed a place to rest for a while." Vincent said, he wasn't lying he wished he'd was still in bed sleeping.
"Mind if I join you?" Fluttershy asked, feeling that Vincent should have some kind of company.
"Sure be my guest." Vincent said, though he would prefer to be alone he didn't mind Fluttershy since she was one of the least annoying ponies here.
"Thank you." Fluttershy said, she walked over and sat beside Vincent. "What do you think of the party?"
"It's a big event that's for sure." Vincent said, he had to give these ponies credit they sure new how to party.
"Yeah Pinkie Pie has a tendency to go all out with every party she does." Fluttershy said, she knew that as good as any other pony.
"I don't find that too hard to believe." Vincent said, only here for three days and already figured out each of the ponies personalities. "You're not a fan of her parties?"
"Well Pinkie is a great friend and all but sometimes her parties can be a little too loud." Fluttershy said, her easily scared personality didn't help when it came to loud noises.
"Yeah no kidding." Vincent said, after being in that party for whoever knows how long he knew that little was an understatement.
"Hey Vincent mind if I ask you a question?" Fluttershy asked, she was nervous since the last thing she wanted to do was bother Vincent.
"Yeah sure." Vincent said, though he came here to get away from the noise he might as well humor the shy pegasus.
"Do you like us?" Fluttershy asked, her question caught him by surprised.
"What do you mean?" Vincent asked, he wasn't expecting to have a question like that.
"Like what do you think of me and my friends?" Fluttershy said, she really wanted to hear his opinion on her and her friends.
Vincent took a minute to think about this. He wasn't to use to having people asking what he thought of them. Usually it just be his employers asking him about his skills for handling his job or sometimes a hit who asked why he was about to kill them but those questions never meant anything to him since it was just part of his job. However he had to answer this question which he would need to answer carefully.
"You guys have been pretty cool to me so I'd say you and your friends are nice." Vincent said, he wasn't use to giving these kind of complements to anything usually he was criticizing people for being the fakes they are back on earth.
"Oh ok." Fluttershy said, she sucked in all her confidence to ask her next question. "Does this make us your friends?"
"Yeah I guess it does." Vincent said, him having friends back on earth seemed laughable but having friends that were ponies on a different planet was just flat out insane.
"Oh I'm so happy to hear that Vincent." Fluttershy said, she gave Vincent a hug which for once in his life was a bit of a shock for him.
Vincent felt like he should tell her to stop and let go of him but a small part of him that he didn't even know existed within him told him he couldn't because he could tell that the hug was genuine not fake which made him feel weird. Because of his status as a hitman back on earth he never cared for his own feelings or when it came to others, back than everyone to him were just lazy people who couldn't do shit for themselves or they were lying pricks who would eventually backstab you. Not to mention his childhood that was also another major reason why he never cared for feelings. Regardless he felt he should humor her and hugged back, whether she knew if he meant it or not he didn't care as long as she knew he was putting in a small effort and could appreciate that than that was good enough for him.
"Thank you Vincent." Fluttershy said, she let go of him and smiled than a previous memory came to her. "Oh Vincent before I forget. Would you like to have tea with me and Discord?"
"Tea?" Vincent said, he couldn't help but laugh. Him drinking tea with a pony and some loud mouth hybrid dragon thing whatever the fuck Discord was, made him feel like he really was going insane. Still he had humored her this far why stop now. "I'll think about it Fluttershy."
"Thank you Vincent." Fluttershy said, she smiled and Vincent smiled back. Just than Pinkie Pie jumped out of nowhere in front of the two.
"Hey Vincent it's time for you to make your speech!" Pinkie Pie shouted, what she said really caught Vincent by surprise and Fluttershy noticed this.
"Umm Pinkie what do you mean Vincent's speech?" Fluttershy asked, beating Vincent to the question.
"Vincent's going to get on stage and give a speech for everypony to hear." Pinkie Pie explained, Vincent did not like what he was hearing.
"Where was my say in this exactly?" Vincent asked, if there's one thing he hate was when things were planned ahead especially when they involved him.
"Please Vincent everypony out there really want to hear you give a speech." Pinkie Pie said, she looked at Vincent with a pleading look in her eyes.
Vincent didn't like the idea of giving a speech in front of all those ponies not because he was stage fright or some bullshit like that but because he's had become accustomed to sticking to the shadows and blending in with the crowed until he needed to reveal himself, this whole becoming the center of attention all of a sudden to an inter species wasn't something you could be used to in one night. Still it's not like he could get himself out of this situation just by saying no, Pinkie Pie was obviously persistent when it came to these parties.
"Alright fine I'll do it." Vincent said, he wouldn't like it but fuck it he'd been through worse than a small speech.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Vincent." Pinkie Pie said, her eye sparkled with joy as she hugged Vincent.
"Alright let me go so I can get this over with." Vincent said, two hugs in one day that might as well be a personal record for him.
"Ok have fun." Pinkie Pie said, she took off to tell everypony.
"Good luck Vincent you'll do great." Fluttershy said, she smiled at him and walk back to the crowed.
Vincent wasn't enthusiastic about this but he walked up on stage anyway, he wasn't a punk after all. Besides all he had to do was say a few sentences, give a quick thank you and walk off the stage not much planning needed for this. Once he was in the middle of the stage he looked and saw all the ponies quiet and looked at him.
"Alright everypony give it up for Vincent!" Pinkie Pie yelled, the ponies all clapped and smiled at him. "Go ahead Vincent."
"Alright everypony well not much for me to say other than this place seems like an ok place to live and the ponies I've met here have been good to me so the hospitality is appreciated. Also now that I'll be living here in your town try not to feel like you're days will be different. Also I'm hoping no trouble will come my way as I don't like trouble. So anyway thanks for the welcome this sure has been... different to what I'm used to." Vincent said, not the best speech or the most memorable he had thought of but hey it was sudden and he had only been here for three days and only knew what he managed to pick up, so he didn't have much to make a speech out of. Many of the ponies smiled, clapped, and cheered. Vincent could hear some of them yell out his name though he didn't have to think too hard on who those ponies were. Vincent gave a quick wave to the crowd and then left the stadium. The party continued again as Vincent walked down the stadium and saw the princesses, Twilight, Spike, and the rest of the ponies he knew.
"That was a very nice speech Vincent." Celestia said, she smiled at him though Vincent was secretly trying to see if she was just patronizing him.
"A little short I must say." Luna said, though Luna was one to talk since before she wasn't much for speeches but now that she was it didn't bother her but she figured a human of Vincent's demeanor would have thought of a better speech.
"It was short notice." Vincent said, considering a certain pink pony had decided for him that he would do a speech.
"I could tell, still it was a decent one at least." Luna said, she had to give the human the benefit of the doubt his speech wasn't as bad as she was expecting.
"Thanks for the complement." Vincent said, though he felt like he was kind of being insulted.
"I liked it." Fluttershy said, though everypony knew she wasn't the hardest to impress.
"Yeah me to. It was very honest." Applejack said, honest was being right up her ally.
"I think it could have been twenty percent cooler." Rainbow Dash, no pony was surprised by Rainbow's reaction.
"That made little to no sense." Vincent thought, this pony was something else.
"Sure was different from the speeches we usually get here dear." Rarity said, to her it was always nice to have something a little different in Ponyville since things could get a little familiar in the town for its own good.
"I thought it was cool Vincent." Spike said, Vincent knew that the little dragon was probably the one he'd get along with the most.
"I thought it amazing!" Pinkie Pie yelled, jumping up in the air in her usual Pinkie fashion.
"And surprisingly it seems to have really won you over with the ponies." Twilight said, noticing that the ponies all clapped and cheered louder than usual when somepony else had finished the speech
"Indeed I have a feeling you're life here will be good Vincent." Celestia said, she was happy to think that Vincent's presence here wouldn't cause any trouble, after all things need to be good for both the ponies and Vincent.
"Hopefully like I said I don't like trouble." Vincent said, he hoped that was made clear to everypony.
"Don't worry Vincent I've been talking with everypony here and telling them about how you saved us." Lyra said, this reminded him that he hadn't told them how he met Lyra, Derpy, and that CMC group. "They think you're some kind of hero."
Now that made him worry a little because the last thing he wanted was for any of these ponies here to think of was a hero, since that was far from what he really was not a hero if anything a movie would probably have labeled him as a villain. Even though that wasn't what he was he was just a guy doing his job, being the best at his job. Regardless he knew he should at least thank Lyra for trying to make his reputation have a good start.
"Thanks Lyra." Vincent said, he could see how happy she got when he said that.
"Which reminds me I never got to think you for saving my sister Vincent." Applejack said, she didn't want to think about what would have happen if Vincent hadn't been there. "Thank you."
"As do I Vincent. Thank you for keeping Sweetie Belle safe." Rarity said, she had already took a liking to Vincent but keeping her sister safe made her like him even more.
"Yeah thanks for keeping Scoots from getting hurt, usually I do but I can't be everywhere so I appreciate it." Rainbow Dash said, even though their first meeting didn't have a good start she now had respect for the human.
"No problem." Vincent said, again getting a thank you from anyone even ponies was giving him a weird feeling.
"Truly impressive Vincent, facing twelve Timberwolves and making it out alive is truly impressive." Luna said, this human really did fascinate her. "What other abilities do you poses?"
"Just the will to get things done." Vincent said, that basically described him when it came to his work.
"Interesting." Luna said, this human in a way remind her of her old self.
"Still thank you we all appreciate it." Applejack said, she and Rarity both gave Vincent a quick hug.
"Yeah good job." Rainbow Dash said, she patted Vincent's back since she felt a hug would be too formal.
Vincent in turn just let out a quick smile and nod his head, this was all getting to different for him. He remember back to the days on earth were hugging wasn't anything he ever cared for but he figured that this was something that he'd have to get us to, among other things, whether he liked it or not. Though he did have one question to ask.
"Speaking of which, where are Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo at anyway?" Vincent asked, since he notice that the three fillies weren't anywhere to be seen.
"They are over there hanging out with the other fillies." Applejack said, point in the direction of where their sisters where.
"Probably bragging to their friends about the human they've made friends with." Rarity said, though the ponies found it amusing Vincent was understandably indifferent about that.
"Yeah well they better enjoy it because they are in for it tomorrow for going into the Everfree forest again." Applejack said, though she was being calm right now she and Rarity both had talked about how to handle the three fillies.
"Well good luck to them." Vincent said jokingly, the ponies giggled amused by the Vincent's humor.
"Well Vincent I believe we've taken up enough your time, let us continue to enjoy the party." Celestia said, giving Vincent a smile and then returning to the party.
The ponies all gave another congratulations to Vincent before returning to the party to. Luna also did to but she gave her quick stare at Vincent again, he had to wonder what was this princess deal with the staring it was starting to get a little annoying and kind of creepy, was she trying to read him or something? After a few seconds Luna chuckled and left to. Derpy who had been just smiling most of the time came up to Vincent.
"Hi Vincent I've been meaning to give you this." Derpy said, she pulled out a muffin and gave it to him.
"A muffin." Vincent said, looked at it and took a bite of it surprisingly it was really good. "Taste good Derpy thanks."
Derpy smiled, gave Vincent a hug, and went back to everypony else. Again the hugs was something he definitely have to get used to. Vincent looked at the party again and the ponies that where having fun. He didn't noticed before but he now realized this place probably wouldn't be so bad, sure it was the complete opposite of earth and he felt completely foreign to this worlds kindness and all that other bullshit he didn't care about but still this place might have something to offer him, he may not know it yet but who knows it may come along later in his new life here. He decided to stop thinking that things wouldn't work out for him here so he shrugged off his last doubt and began walking back.
"My new life. I'll be fine." Vincent said, returning to the party with the others with a smile on his face a genuine smile.
