Chapter 2

We get inside my house, and I turn on the lights. I pause, letting my vision settle before I start moving around.
"Welcome." I said to Luna as she trots around the house in curiosty, examining every little detail of my home.
"This is where you live?" Luna replies with a sound of disbelief in her voice.
"Um, yes, is there something wrong?" I ask walking over to she what she was looking at.
"Well, no, there isn't something wrong, it's just that I'm used to be living in a castle from my world, and so I haven't really gone into any others." she replied sheepishly.
"Oh, ok then happy to know that this place is going to help you." I said.
I gave her a tour of the house which included: the basement, the bathroom, her room, my room, the garage, the living room, and the kitchen. While walking her back into the living room, I notice that her main and coat were filthy.
"Um excuse me Princess, but would you like to take a bath, your coat and mane seem a bit dirty?" I ask the regal visitor. She looks down, just realizing her appearance.
"Oh, yes, please." she replied. I answered with a nod, walking with her to the bathroom where she will take her bath. When inside the bathroom, she now examins the tub, looking at it with curiosity.
"Where you are from, don't you have baths?" I ask in puzzlement as she touches the tub, realizing that it isn't evil.
"Yes we do, but noticing the fact I'm in your world, you should know that these are all new expiraments for me." She replied, while I start fidgetting with the knobs to get the right temperature for the water.
"True, ya, I forgot about that part." I said in reply. "You never really told me, where you are from Princess." I said waiting for the tub to be filled so I can turn off the water, preventing it from overflowing. I knew the answer, but I didn't want to scare her. She might get the impression, that I know everything about her, so I decided to ask her.
"I'm from Equestria, it is peaceful the majority of the time, but occasionally there might be some kind of evil trying to take over." she stated, sneering at the word evil like it was a forbidden word.
"Your world sounds lovely, except for the occasional evil that is." I say, finally able to tun off the knobs I test the water, it's a bit hotter than I expected it to be, so I sat there talking to Luna for the time being.
"That is why I'm here," she starts,"I have to find some mythical stone called the Philosopher's Stone, that is apparently can only be found in your world." she finishes, I look at her in shock.
"You mean the stone that gives the user immortality?" I ask with the sound of shock clearly visible in my voice.
"Yes.., why have you heard of it before?" she asks in return. I test the water again, then reply.
"Yes I have, but we can talk about this later, your bath is ready." I said as she trots up to the side of the tub filled now with water. She stares into the water, then looks at me with suspicion.
"What did you do with the water?" she asks, leaving me shocked that she doesn't trust me.
"Don't you trust me after I'm giving you a place to sleep, and a place where you are welcome with open arms?" I ask in reply.
"Yes, I do trust you, but I'm not used to this world, so I don't know who or what I should trust." she replies looking at her reflection in the water. She sticks one of her hooves into the water, then quickly brings it out, examining her hoof to make sure nothing happened to it.
"I agree, I still don't know who to trust, and I have lived in this world my whole life." I said,"so yes I understand why you are suspicious about the water, and I'm ok with that because you are protecting yourself from potential danger." I finished. She looked reassured and said.
"Well, no turning back now." before she starts to slowly descend into the water.
"Oooh, this is comfortable." Luna says sitting on her bed that I cleared off. She starts fully exploring the room while I finish off bringing boxes down into the basement. When I got back upstairs from my last trip down into the basement, I hear oohs and awws from her bedroom. I walk in there and notice that she got excited over the window. When she noticed I walked in, she starts pestering me with questions: what is this?, how does it work?, why is it clear? can things outside see me through this?, can others get insinde through this thing? I answered all of her questions and explained that she didn't have to worry about other people getting into the house because this is a friendly neighborhood.
"Tomorrow," Princess Luna starts,"will you help me find this stone or whatever it is?" she asked.
"Only if you promise to trust me." I said in return. As soon as I said that something strange happened, she hugged me. "Oh, I just remembered, I have heard of the Philosopher's Stone, it is what every alchemist dreams of obtaining because, well what I've heard, is that it gives them a whole lot of power." I finish off telling her. She looked impressed. Before she was able to speak I told her to save her energy and that it was time to go to bed.
After she let go of me, she looked sheepish, and I told her goodnight and started off towards my room. I myself will need rest because apparently tomorrow I go for my first quest, and not one in one of the games I play, a real quest, with a real Princess. Hopefully though I will remember to ask if my friend can come along with us. I don't know how, but he might be able to help in the most random places.
