Strange Turn of Events

Party you say?

Chapter 6

We stepped inside the library and I saw Rarity and Applejack to my left on the couch. Rarity was using her magic to hold a book out in front of her. I couldn't tell what the book was though. Applejack was laying back on the other end of the couch with her hat down over her face. Dashie and Fluttershy walked into the kitchen were I heard spike ask them if they wanted any food. I wasn't hungry so I started over to the couch opposite them, meekly saying "Hello" as I sat. I had always very shy around girls back when I was on earth, and that sure as hell didn't change here.

Rarity put her book down and said " Why hello Darling! How was your training session With Rainbow?"

Applejack sat up and added "Yeah how'd that go?"

I perked up when they asked about flying, and I loosened up a bit. I went into detail on my session with Dashie, and everything I learned. I was actually giddy talking about it. I told them how I got flying down my first try.

Rarity laughed a bit at my giddiness and said "Well it sounds like you have got some real ability Silver." I blushed at the compliment.

"Well I dont know about all that, but thank you Rarity." I said smiling. I looked over at the clock, it read 7:39 pm. "So were's Twilight? Has Princess Celestia arrive yet?" I was actually kind of nervous as to what she would do with me.

Applejack scrunched her face up in thought a moment and said "She got here bout 30 minutes ago Ah'reckon."

No sooner than a second after the words left her mouth I heard a voice from behind me. The voice regal and powerful, yet soft and mothering at the same time. I turned saw a large white alicorn standing before me. I was taken aback by her. Her mane flowed like water though the air was still, her coat was impeccably white, and her wings looked perfectly preened. Wait how did I know what preening ones feathers even was? I stopped my thoughts however because I knew I had show my respect so bowed before her.

"Ah so you must be Silver Lightning, Twilight has told me much about you. It is a Pleasure to meet you."

"I-I assure you Your Highness, the pleasure is all mine." I said while still bowing.

"Why thank you Silver Lightning, but I must ask that when it is just us in private like this, there is no need for such formalities as bowing or using Your Highness. Please address me as Celestia." she said with a warm smile.

"S-Sorry Prince- Erm Celestia." I said meekly.

"So Silver, I'm sure your anxious to know weather or not I've Decided to let you stay here in Equestria"

"What" I thought to myself. I hadn't even considered the thought they might banish me or something. Okay now I was nervous before, but now I was freaking out.

Twilight spoke up this time from behind Celestia "Um Celestia, I hadn't actually told him that he may not be aloud to stay here"

I fell back on my haunches. Great. Just great I thought. Nobody wanted me back on Earth and it seemed nopony here wants me either. I felt my eyes began to water, but I took a deep breath and calmed my emotions. I wiped my eyes and looked from Twilight back to Celestia.

"I would understand if you have to banish me. From what I told Twilight about our people I wouldn't blame you. We are a violent species. I would understand if you couldn't risk having me here" I said staring at the floor, having trouble keeping my emotions in check.

"Well, I was just discussing that with Twilight actually, and I have decided that you may stay. However there are some conditions. Im requiring you live here in the library with Twilight. I want you to learn about friendship, just as Twilight does. I would also like for you to write me a letter whenever you discover something new about friendship, just as Twilight does. Does this sound alright with you Silver?"

I let out a breath that didn't even know I was holding. "Thank you Celestia, I would be honored to study under Twilight." I said smiling. "You have no Idea what this means to me. My old life sucked, and I was so unhappy. I have been here one day and I have been happier than I ever was in old life" I said smiling. I realized I was crying.

"Silver, whats wrong?" Twilight said, her voice suddenly full of concern.

"Its just back in my old life nobody cared about me. Nobody wanted to get to know me, or be my friend, and now it seems I already have the six of you. Theses are tears of joy Twilight." I spoke softly.

Suddenly, and out of no were I might add, Pinkie Pie jumped out from behind the couch yelling "Awe! Group hug!" Pinkie somehow grabbed everyone at once into a big hug. I looked up at Celestia, who was looking at me smiling.

'Thank you' I mouthed to her. She simply smiled and nodded. It was at that moment that Pinkie suddenly pulled away from the hug, and all the lights turned off. Plunging the entire library into darkness, and you couldn't even see your own hoof in fornt of your face. The sudden shock elicited a small shriek from Rarity, and she actually grabbed onto me in the darkness.

"Calm down everypony I'll turn the lights on." Twilight said flatly. Her horn glowed lavender as she flipped all the switches on again.

"SUPRISE!" Pinkie yelled.

Somehow Pinkie Pie had not only managed to get everypony in town inside, but decorate the entire first floor for a party. "B-but how did you, when did you, were did they all, Whaaa-" I was at a loss for words here. It was not possible for Pinkie to do what she had just done.

Twilight waited for me to stop stammering befor saying "Thats pinkie Pie just being Pinkie Pie, better to not ask questions."

I decided to go with that and not ask any questions. Simply because thinking about it made my brain hurt.

Pinke Pie... bounced? Yeah she bounced over to me and said "SO were ya surprised? Were ya? Were ya? I really hope so, cause if you weren't I would just have to throw you another party so that you WOULD be surprised. When would I even host it?? when are you free Silver?"

I stopped Pinkie and hugged her "I was very surprised Pinkie, thank you so much for throwing me my first and best surprise party" I broke from the hug and smiled. Suddenly Pinkie yelled out something about her cupcakes burning and she bolted off. I trotted around introducing myself to everypony and after I had met what seemed like everypony in Ponyville, I trotted over to my... friends. It felt odd saying that, but it just felt right at the same time.
