"Nowhere at the moment, but I have a question." "What?" "What was your human name?" "How do you know about humans..?" "I'll tell you some other time, but for now, follow me." I led the two back to me and Bon Bon's house. I told Bon Bon to wait in the living room, and me and Carrot Top sat at the table, across from eachother. "Uhm.. Jennifer.." Said Carrot Top. "What?" I didn't get what she meant. "Jennifer. My name is Jennifer." "Okay Jennifer, tell me how you got here." I completely believed she was a human before. "Uhm..okay.. me and my husband had our anniversary held today.. uh.. yesterday? W-What day is it... he bought me a gift.. it was in a small velvet box.. I opened it and I woke up here..." "Okay.. I'll see if I can find out how to fix this.. until then, your name is Carrot Top and Golden Harvest. The house you woke up in is yours. Here's a tip,instead of saying everybody, you have to say everypony. Try not to swear and act too strange, okay?" "O-okay.. but I have a question.." "Hm?" "How do you know about humans so well.. and how do you manage to believe me and not think I'm.. crazy..?" Her ears fell back. I then leaned in so I could whisper to her. I wasn't thinking when I did it. At the moment, all I wanted is for her to stay calm, and not think I was a psychiatrist or anything. "Because I was one." Jennifer perked up when I said this. "You were a human before!?" She said it so loud that it might've reached to Bon Bon. "No, no! You must've misunderstood! I said I studied humans!" I then leaned in again. "The other pony in this room cannot know, capeesh? And that goes for everypony, okay?" I leaned back into my chair. "O-okay.. thanks for the.. help?" She walked out the front door. I hoped Bon Bon didn't catch on yet.. but she might soon. 2 hours later.. Bon Bon brang me along to do some shopping. We were at the market. "So, did you believe her?" Bon Bon asked as she bought some milk. "Yeah." We moved further along. "Hm. What about when she said about you being a once human?" Bon Bon arrived at the empty carrot stand. "Didn't you hear? I said she must've misunder-" "Hey.. where's Carrot Top?" "Jennifer. Oops, I forgot to mention she would need to run the stand. I'll be right back." I walked towards Jennifer's house. I knocked on the door. "Jennifer?" "What do you want?" She didn't open the door. "You need to run your stand at the Ponyville marketplace." "I don't wanna!" She peeked through the door, that was now slightly open. "You have to, whether you like it or not. Just please listen to me." The door opened completely. Jennifer hung her head. "Fine, I don't really have anything to do anyways.. so what do I have to do?" "Follow me." I went into her house and searched for those backpacks ponies have, and put filled one with carrots, then mounting it on her. I closed the door, and we walked to the marketplace. We arrived at the carrot stand, and Bon Bon was waiting for my arrival. "Took you long enough." I didn't answer Bon Bon. "You sell carrots here okay?" "Mmm..okay.." Jennifer was uncomfortable by the looks of it. "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you get back to Earth. But for now, you're a pony. Each carrot costs 2 bits, okay? Bits are the currency here." "O-okay.." Jennifer settled down onto her chair behind the stand, and I used magic to place it down, on the ground. Me and Bon Bon continued shopping. We came back later to check on Jennifer. "So, how are you doing?" "G-good I guess.." Her head was hung down. I put my hoof under her chin and lifted up her head. "Relax, it'll be okay. How's the business?" I put my hoof back down. "Okay.. I.. I got 17 bits.. is that.. good?" "It's a good start. Anyways, Bon Bon wants to buy some carrots." Bon Bon put some bits on the counter, receiving a few carrots, and putting them in her backpack. We then started to walk home, when we came across Dr. Hooves.. or Time Turner.. who seemed to be depressed. I couldn't help myself, so I went to see what was wrong. "What's up?" "Go away.." "I only want to know what's wrong..?" "Ponies." I knew that he must've been a once human too, after he said that. I couldn't believe there were more. "So, you were a human once I take it?" "How'd you know?" "I'll tell you some other time, what matters now, is that I know that there's more.." "Wait, I'm not the only one!?" "Nope." "Thank god.. is there a way back?" "Back to Earth? As far as I know right now, nope. But if you want, we can talk about how you got here and about your past self.. I can help you feel better in this body.. permanent or not." "All I want is to go back home..." "I'll do my best to get you back home, but do you want to take up the offer or not?" "Sure.. when?" "You can come right now, if you'd like." Bon Bon dissaproved. "Lyra.." Bon Bon was annoyed. "C'mon, just give him a chance. How would you feel in another world where you knew no pony? Where you had an uncomfortable body that you never wanted?" "Fine.." Bon Bon was still annoyed, but she couldn't say no, really. The doctor and Bon Bon followed me. "I thought we're going home?" Bon Bon tilted her head. "We're visiting Jennifer again." We arrived back at the market. "Jennifer, I need to talk to you. It's important." Jennifer's ears fell back. "Oh no.. what did I do wrong?" "You're not in trouble, just come." She grabbed her backpack and put it back on. I just hoped that there wouldn't be any more once humans.
