Chapter 7, Into Town
We finished our eggs and had just walked out the door when I decided to ask where exactly where we were going... and where we were currently.
"How much do you actually know about that amulet?" I asked. Dusk shook his head.
"I know zilch." Dusk said. "All I know is... something about it opening and sealing cracks in the... Oh, what did he say? ... something about 'cracks in the multiverse' or whatever. I wasn't really paying much attention." Dusk admitted. My eyed bulged. I knew about the multiverse theory, many different worlds each exactly like our own only a little bit different. Imagine a coordinate grid, and 0,0 (or the center) is our universe. The higher the numbers in the coordinates go, the less like our world things would get. I had speculated this when I thought about this theory, and I realized now I was a long way from home.
"Are you sure you can get me home?" I asked Dusk, he didn't notice the shakiness to my voice.
"Oh sure." He said. "I can deffinatly get you back there." I sighed with relief. The question I was too afraid to ask myself was, how could he get me home if he didn't even know where it was? Or how he could even use the pendant? I didn't think these thoughts and instead asked some different questions.
"So where are-"
"You know, I've never met a mare as inquisitive as you before." Dusk cut me off. "You're always asking so many questions." He looked at me. "Not that that's a bad thing, in fact, I love it." The word "love" rang in my furry pony ears. Love. I was falling in love with this stal- ...with this man. But, he's a pony and I'm a human... at least I am on the inside. Why am I suddenly attracted to him? This is just weird and downright creepy. But... I don't see it that way. I need the questions answered. I need to ask.
"Dusk," I started. "I've been thinking weird thoughts, ever since I transformed." I stopped, waiting for him to say something. He looked at me, his eyes telling me to go on. "They're... about you. And I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I think I'm in love with you." I finished, embarrassed and blushing. Dusk grinned. I looked down at the floor, avoiding his gaze as though eye contact could kill.
"You don't say!" Dusk said in a REALLY sarcastic way. "I never would have guessed that you fell in love with me. What with the blushing, and they way we talk, and how you look away like you're guilty of thinking something, I never would have guessed!"
"So... you don't find it creepy?" I asked, looking up.
"What? Naaaw!" Dusk said, dismissing my statement with a wave of his hoof. "In fact," I walked over to me and put a hoof around my shoulder. "I find you pretty cute as a thestral." I look at him.
"You do?" He nods at me. I needed to get the upper hoof on him, make him the one who's sputtering and I need to be the strong sexy one. With a sly grin on my face, I add: "Well you're gonna have to try harder than that to bed with this." I say standing up, and walking off the porch. Dusk's face turns beat red, and he begins to sputter.
"What, no, I wouldn't..." He stands up and walks past me, head down. I got him good! Then, I see his wings erect straight out. It's almost like... When I put two and two together, It's REALLY hard not to laugh. "Wow! Down boy!" I call to him.
"Let's just go!" Dusk squeaks. He runs ahead, and I fly after him. It took me a moment to realize I was litterally flying. I must have learned it subliminally or something. But boy is it cool being able to fly! It feels like freedom, and the wind in your mane and ears! Man alive! Never felt better. I close my eyes and enjoy this flight. A huge grin crosses my face. If I had to stay a pony, I wouldn't mind it for this. And probably Dusk. He's certainly a plus. Wait- what?
It was night time when we left the cave, meaning I really was nocturnal now. I slept through the whole day! Dusk eventually "calmed down" and flew with me. We flew for a while, high above the clouds, until we reached a small village, full of cottages and ponies...
"It has just occurred to me that not all ponies are bat-ponies," I said to Dusk as we descended into town.
"Well, yeah. There are pegasus ponies, earth ponies, and unicorn ponies." Dusk explained. My eyes widened.
"There are unicorns?!? I wanna meet one!" I said. What? I love stories, unicorns are elements in stories, and I wanna meet one. So what? It's not like I have an obsession with them or anything... yeah... deffinatly not that 
. (Cough cough) Anyways... We flew into town and looked around.
"Where is it, where is it?" I heard Dusk mumbling.
"Where's what?" I asked.
"It's a book shop, the Lord of stories," Dusk replied. "We can find my friend there." There weren't many ponies out right now (well it was night after all), so this unfortunatly meet I wouldn't get to meet a unicorn (that I am definitely not obsessed with).
"AH! There it is!" Dusk exclaimed. I looked down the street to see a sign of a scroll and quill. The wood of the building was darker than the surrounding buildings, and it's yellow checkered windows were lit with lamps from the inside. Me and Dusk walked to the entrance of the building. Boy was it strange in there!
