	Dear Princess Celestia,

I do not know how to say this without sounding crazy but... we found an alien life form in the meteorite. I know! For now, it   he   is with Zecora. He appears to be unconscious, but we do not know how long he will stay that way. If pony anatomy is any indicator, I can say with near 100% certainty, that the alien is a male. He is very large, twice the size of an average male pony. His height, not his... well, anyway, I will await your reply and instructions.

Forever your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

P.S. I can hardly contain my excitement!

Princess Celestia put down the letter and passed it to her younger sibling. A sigh left her lungs. When the meteor shower started, she knew something would happen, but this? A new species   an alien, to be exact. Too many questions ran through her mind, her thoughts only interrupted by her younger sister.
"'He is very large, twice the size of an average male pony'," Princess Luna read aloud and giggled to herself. 
"Lulu!" Celestia exclaimed, "We have an unidentified, unknown creature, that just landed in our kingdom! We need to worry about the safety of our little ponies." 
"I know!" Luna pouted, "But Is this not exciting?" Princess Luna asked with a beaming smile, barely containing her enthusiasm. "Think of all we may learn from him!" 
"Yes," Celestia said flatly, "Still, sister, we should err on the side of caution. We know not of his capabilities. Is he hostile? Is he friendly? We can only hope that he will be passive and helpful."
"And not end up like most aliens in all these new movies?" Princess Luna joked.
"Those are my fears exactly," she replied grimly. 
"Fret not, dear sister," Princess Luna smiled up at her older sister. 
"Thank you, Luna," Princess Celestia nuzzled her sister before walking over to her desk. "Now, to message Twilight."

For the second time that night, the six heroines walked through the Everfree Forest, with a tired young, purple drake on Twilight's back. Twilight had to bribe the young dragon with a couple sapphires to accompany them back to Zecora's hut. The group traveled with an eagerness to see the new life form waiting for them. The dim, wild forest helped increase the group's speed to their destination. Finally, after a thirty-minute journey, they arrived at Zecora's hut. 
A knock on the door told Zecora that her guests had made it safely to her home. She opened the door and ushered them into her house. They all made their way to the back of the hut, where the alien was resting. Zecora made sure to cover him. Since his legs could not fit on the bed, Zecora found some boxes for them to rest comfortably on. Without saying much, probably in fear of waking him and not wanting to disturb him, they observed the alien. Twilight brought out a quill and notepad to take her observations down. 
Preliminary examination shows that the subject suffered a small stab near the middle of his back. He appears to be in good health and shape. Seems to be in good physical condition, with muscular features such as hind legs, forelegs, chest, and abdomen. Has a short, thick, black mane, with black eyelashes, and strange tufts of black hair arching above his eyes. Has small ears on the side of cranium and forward facing eyes, suggesting a predator. She used her hoof to gently open his mouth. Yup, with four relatively large canines, about twice the size of his other teeth, definitely points to a carnivore. With a light shining in his mouth, she makes a new discovery. Flat, grinding molar-like teeth in the rear of jaw suggests not only a carnivorous diet but also a herbivorous diet, making him omnivorous. 
"At least we do not have to worry too much about him trying to eat one of us," she thought. 
Spike's sudden heaving caught everyone's attention as he burped loudly, producing green smoke and a scroll. "From Princess Celestia, Twilight," he informed her. 
Twilight accepted the letter with her magenta magic, quickly opened it, and read its contents. She tucked the scroll away into her bag.
"Alright, girls," she began, "the Night Guard will arrive shortly with a coach for the alien and for us. She wants us to stay at the castle until further notice."
"Yay! A vacation!" Pinkie Pie celebrated, throwing confetti into the air and was about to fire her party cannon when a low groan from behind froze them in place. Slowly, they turned around, to see a still unconscious alien laying in bed. They collectively sighed in relief with Twilight glaring at the party mare.

An hour later, raps at the door announced the arrival of their escorts. 
"Now, be careful; he is much bigger than you may think and   " Twilight was instructing the Night Guards, who had the unfortunate task of loading the alien when she heard a hollow thud. A hoof found her face, as the guards chuckled nervously, adjusting the aliens head at an angle that would not hit the door of the coach again. 
"Ow!" Pinkie Pie winced, at the sound, "That's going to hurt in the morning."
"You poor thing," Fluttershy soothed the alien's black mane gently through the window of the coach; his frame filled the entirety. 
Rarity used her cyan magic to cover the coach in a black tarp, to keep prying eyes from seeing inside. The others started to take their seats in a carriage. After final preparations, Twilight Sparkle took her seat. The pony bats hooked themselves to the coaches and took flight, headed for Canterlot. 
"My friends, take care," Zecora waved farewell to them, "don't give him a scare!"


Brother.
I failed you.
Mother. 
I failed you.
Forgive me.
Help me...
Sister.


Princess Luna observed the alien and the pained expression he made as he slept. Even a blind pony could see that he suffered from a nightmare. As much as she desired to do so, she refrained herself from traveling into his dream. She could not be certain if she would even be able to enter his dreams or if she would be able to leave. 
"Sister..." the alien muttered with a deep, raspy voice. "Help me..." 
"Did he just speak in Equestrian?" Princess Luna wondered in amazement, "Fascinating!" With Twilight Sparkle's notes beside her, she wrote down the new discovery in her own notes, along with him saying he has a sister. After she finished, she stroked his mane softly. "Do not worry, we will help you," she spoke to him gently. 
His eyes shot wide open which revealed goldenrod irises. He stared intently into her teal eyes.
