Chapter Two : My Friend, Where’s the library?

“What the hell are we supposed to do now?” I asked Shock Wave. 

He turned to me while we were walking down the streets.

“We can do pretty much anything we want too since we’re new here or we could find a job and get ourselves a dang house for once.” Shock Wave suggested.

I nodded in agreement. “Maybe we should tell somepony who we are?” 

“Nah, they wouldn’t really understand what we would be talking about and think that we were crazy.” 

As we walked along the village I looked at a pony who had a light green coat and had mane a darker shade of green. Something is off about that one pony. I couldn’t really tell why. I went closer to him and eavesdropped him.

“Where the hell am I?! For fucks sake someone tell me!” The pony said in temper.

I recognized who it was by the voice, I trotted up to him.

“Hey, Niko.”

“Huh?” He turned around and I proceeded to punch him in the jaw like Shock Wave did to me earlier.

“Argh! why’d you do that you asshole?” He yelled at me. 

“Hey, profanity!” Shock Wave said in the back.

“Wha... why do you dickwads sound so familiar,”

“And how did you know my name?!” 

“There would be only 2 people in the universe who would know you.” Shock Wave said to him while smirking. 

…

“I don’t follow...” Niko put on a questionable look on his face. 

I sighed. “I’m Daniel, and that’s Amir over there.” I pointed at Amir.

Niko’s eyes widened. “No way, you guys are here too?”

“I’m more surprised that you’re here,” I said to him, “Anyway, how the hell did you end up in this place?”

Niko thought for a moment, and then said “I think I got hit by a car… That’s all I could remember then I woke up in an empty room of whiteness. Greeted by an old black guy.” 

“Wow, way to insult a very amazing person.” Shock Wave exclaimed.

“Shut up. Why am I in this world?” Niko asked. 

I shrugged. “We asked the Rapture to send us here as ponies, no idea why would you come here.”

“Equestria? As ponies? That’s just great…” He felt frustrated. 

“You could follow us or you could go around here on your own. Your choice.” Shock Wave said to Niko.

“Well whatever, I’ll just follow you guys then.”

We then walked around town for around 20 minutes whilst suddenly Shock Wave said “You know what, let’s go to the library and ask Twilight what to do. Walking around town like this surely won’t get us anywhere.”

“You’re right.” I sighed. We headed to the treehouse and knocked on the door.

*Knock Knock*

The door was opened by Spike. “Oh it’s you guys. What do you need?” He asked.

“Is Twilight still busy?” 

“Nah, she’s not. You can come in.”

We walked inside.

“And who is your friend there?” Spike asked me.

“None of your business.” Niko blurted out. 

“Oh, well okay then.” Spike rolled his eyes and went upstairs to call Twilight. 

After like 5 seconds, Twilight came downstairs and saw us.

“Oh it’s you again, Shock Wave and Electric Dazzle right? So, what do you  need?” She asked. 

“Well, since we’re pretty much new here, we kinda need your help. We want to get a job so we can get our own place here or probably luckily enough up in Canterlot but it seems like it is a bit more difficult than we first thought. Can you probably give us some leads?” Shock Wave said in a long breath. 

“Oh, If it’s a job you guys are looking for, you guys can help me and Spike around the library for some gold bits every week. It can get real messy around here with the books.” Twilight offered.

“That sounds great but we also need a place to sleep.” Shock Wave said.

“We got a spare room upstairs but you 3 have to share.” Twilight said.

“It’s okay, we can share the room.” Electric Dazzle voiced. 

“That’s so gay.” Niko snorted..

“Shut up Niko.” I hushed him. Twilight raised her eyebrow yet again.

“Aaanyway, you can start by sending those books to the Canterlot Castle. Oh and Shock Wave, Since you’re a unicorn you can stay here at the library and help me arrange the books.” 

“Oh, okay.” He frowned because he had wanted to go to Canterlot to see the castle.

“Ha.” I chuckled.

“Piss off.” Shock Wave waved me off. 

Twilight gave me and Niko a saddlebag to put all the books inside. After acquiring the books we went outside and towards the direction of Canterlot.

~At Canterlot Castle

After flying for a few minutes, we finally arrive at the front of the castle. As we were walking into the castle courtyard, the two royal guards stopped us.

“What is your business here?” One of the guards asked.

“Uhh, we gotta get these books in the library, under Twilight Sparkle’s orders.” I explained.

“You may pass.” 

The guard allowed us to enter the castle. Without hesitation, Niko and I went straight inside.  We asked for directions to the castle’s library. The guard showed us the way and we followed him to it. Once we enter the library, we put the books on the shelves and headed out.
While we were walking in the entrance, a gray mare galloped up to us.

“Sir, you are summoned in the throne room by the princess, follow me.”

Niko and I followed the pony to the throne room. when we finally arrived, the guards opened the doors and we were introduced to the sight of Princess Celestia.

“Ah, my guests. I believe there is one more of your friends at Twilight’s place.” The princess stated.

“How do you know that?” I asked the princess. 

“There are a few  things about me that a lot of ponies do not know,”

“For instance, I can sense when there is something happening that is beyond our knowledge.” She smiled, and continued, “And when you came here, I knew something was quite different in you,”

“In fact, you’re not from this planet at all.” She had a grin on her face. 

Now I was scared. I should’ve seen this coming. She’s probably going to go full Molestia on us, may lord help us all.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do that to you poor ponies.” She chuckled.

My eyes widened. She can read my fucking mind?

(somewhere out there… There’s a Shock Wave yelling “Profanity!”)

“I just wanted to welcome you to Equestria, I’m sure everypony’s treating you well?”

“Yes, no doubt. Ponyville is like, the best place ever.” I gave her a sheepish smile.

“I am glad to hear that. I suppose I’ll let you go now, tell Twilight I shall be visiting in a couple days.”

“Uh, okay. Thank you, Princess.” We retreated to the doors and briskly trotted outside.

~The Treehouse Earlier [Shock Wave’s POV]

Damn it, how is it that Danny and Niko gets to go to the Castle and I have to stay here. But whatever, at least I can rest for a moment and do some light work. I then lifted some books to the shelves whilst Twilight did the same. 

Suddenly, Twilight asked, “So Shock, who was your other friend? He didn’t really introduced himself.” 

“Oh, he is just Electric’s old friend. I have only seen him a few times before.” I stated.

“So you’re not really tight with him?”

“I have to say no.” She then nodded as if she understood. 

A few minutes went without any words. I noticed how she looks like blushing a little bit or something. I couldn’t really tell.

“Are you really sure it’s okay with us staying here? I mean like, you’re getting 3 new roommates at once.”

I asked to break the silence. She suddenly jumped and realized that she wasn’t really doing much work. She then said nervously “It’s.. It’s fine, Shock. I.. I sometimes get bored here with Spike all the time. We don’t really get much visitors here.”

“Oh, okay then. If we are starting to bother you, you can tell us and we will leave.”

“Oh no, I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t happen. I hope.”

I grinned and continued my work. After a few minutes of cleaning the place, we heard a knock on the door. Spike went to the door to answer it. We were greeted by who I believe was Rarity. Also one of the ponies that Danny mentioned.

“Hey Twilight, it’s Rarity!” Spike said to Twilight which also proves my suspicions correct. Spike let Rarity inside the treehouse and she went straight towards Twilight.

“Twilight, I need your help. I need to find a book... Who’s your friend here?” Rarity asked Twilight.

“Oh, him? He is new in town with his two other friends. They are currently helping me around the library for now. The other two aren’t here right now, they’re sending books to the castle.”

“The name is Shock Wave. It’s nice to meet you miss..” Damn, I totally am getting softer.

“Just call me Rarity, darling.” Rarity said.

“As I said earlier, I need to find a book on classical attire.” continued Rarity.

“Oh, I think I have one of those around here somewhere. Let me just go check,” Twilight replied.

“So you’re new in town?” Rarity asked me while raising an eyebrow.

“Yeh, me and my friends just recently got here.” I answered instantly.

“And where did you and your friends come from?” She asked again.

I hesitated to answer because I don’t really know anything about Equestria.

“We.. uhh.. we..” I tried to think of an answer.

Suddenly the door slammed open. Thank god for this sudden intrusion.

“HEY GIRLS!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she and the rest of the Mane 6 entered.

“Pinkie, do you really have to shout every time we get in here?” Rainbow Dash reasoned.

Rarity and I looked at the door while suddenly Twilight popped out of nowhere.

“Oh, hey guys. Come on in. Well, it seems like you’re already inside.” Twilight welcomed them.

“Oooh, who’s your new friend, Twilight?!” Pinkie asked excitedly whilst jumping up and down.

“This is Shock Wave, darling. there’s also two others somewhere else. They’re new in town.” Rarity explained.

“OH MY CELESTIA, NEW PONIES IN TOWN?! This means we have to… CELEBRATE!!” Pinkie announced abruptly. 

“Oh no, not again.” Rainbow Dash said while facehoofing.

“Well, I’m not the party type, but I think my friends would love a party.” I said.

“THEY DO?!” Pinkie yelled out of joy.

“Yeah, definitely.” I said while smiling. I’m most certainly not into partying that much. Oh well. 

“Howdy Shock, remember me?.” said Applejack. 

“Oh Applejack, I totally remember you.” I greeted her.

“You two know each other?” Twilight suddenly asked while the other Mane 6 had the same thought. 

“Yeah, she was the one who helped me get to Ponyville in the first place,” I said to them, “By the way, thanks AJ.”

“It was nothing, sugarcube. The pleasure was on mah side.” She replied while smiling.

After they all introduced themselves to me, the door was slammed open like earlier.

“Hey lads- oh.” Electric Dazzle noticed the rest of the Mane 6 was here. Niko followed Electric Dazzle as they entered inside.

“Oh hey, you’re back! By the way, here are the others.” Twilight introduced the rest of the Mane 6. 

“You didn’t really tell your name.” Twilight told Niko. 

“Oh it’s Ni…” Niko attempted to say his real name but Electric stopped him.

“His name is Blaze Weeds!”  

I chuckled a little bit more than I intended. 

“What, that’s not my na..” Niko attempted to talk again but Electric Dazzle held his mouth shut this time. 

“Shhhhhhh.” 

The Mane 6 looked puzzled about the situation. 

“Don’t worry, they’re always like this.” I assured them. 

“Instead, we all should just introduce ourselves to each other.” I requested.

“Right, let’s get to it then. I’m Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia’s most faithful student.” Twilight introduced herself first.

“Name’s Applejack, or AJ for short. Nice to meet y’all.”

“I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest pegasus in Equestria!” She boasted.

“I’m Pinkie Pie, and I looove parties, OH, and do you like cupcakes?! I hope so because I LOVE making them. I like making ALL KINDS of cupcakes. Cute ones, small ones, BIG ones, and I really love making pink ones,”

Pinkie went on like this for a few minutes. This gave me the opportunity to ask Electric Dazzle for a backstory. 

“Dude, what’s our backstory going to be?” I asked Electric Dazzle quietly. 

Electric thought for a second.

“We arrived from an unknown area in Equestria in search for a better life.” Electric Dazzle responded.

“Okay, nice.” well that’s totally helpful. I replied to Electric.  After a few more minutes, Pinkie finally finished talking. I didn’t even get half of what she said.

“Are you finally done, dear? Well, I suppose it is my turn. I am Rarity. Not only do I make the most elegant clothes in Equestria, I am also a well known fashionista.” She finished while flicking her mane to her back.

“Uh… Um… I-I’m Fluttershy.” She said shyly. “That is all.”

“Alright, It seems like it’s our turn. I’m Electric Dazzle, and I’m a vegan.” Really, Daniel? How pathetic.

“I guess you guys already know my name but whatever. I’m Shock Wave and I’m nothing special.” 

Niko sighed  “I’m… Blaze Weeds.” Electric and Shock Wave snickered.

So, the day passed by as we all talked about ourselves. Pinkie seems to be the most eager to tell about herself. I seem to enjoy listening to their stories but I couldn’t tell about Daniel or Niko. They seem to enjoy themselves here and so do I. It seems like it’s going to be a very long journey from the way I see it.
