//------------------------------//

I am sleeping peacefully, waiting for the next day to come, and learn more about Equestria. This world I am in is full of adventure and excitement, waiting for me to explore this vast land. Until, the a voice in my dream spoke to me again, and this time, it's voice sounded more different and more clear than the recent dreams I had.

“It would have seemed you have adapt to this world just fine. The ponies you encountered are perfect for your welcome. And, I see that the purple one had a slight thought about you. I believe I made the right choice of choosing you to be here.” said the voice. Then I have the opportunity to ask one question.

“Who are you? And, why am I here?” I asked.

“... I will explain myself soon, until the Princess of the Moon visits you in your dreams.” It said as the bright light flashed through my eyelids as I winced, I open

“Jyro, get up! Breakfast is ready!” It was Spike.

Just who was that voice in my dream? Could it be someone important or a reason why I'm here? *stomach grumble* Well, I'll think about it later, time for breakfast. I head up to the living room… I mean foyer? Library? (I don't know!) There were a few books lying around the place, and I thought we cleaned up last night.

“Oh! Good morning Jyro.” said Twilight. “Sorry about the mess. I got up early and started researching with these book and-”

“It's okay Twilight. I gotta say, you're really are a bookworm reading all these books. And I'm okay with it, just do whatever you were doing, I don't mind.” I said.

“Oh. Okay.” Twilight smiled as she continued her studies.

“But I am curious about these books you read. What are you working on?” I peeked over Twilight's shoulder to see her desk, but when she saw me what I was doing, she quickly puts away her work.

“Nothing! Just private work from the, Princess. It's ‘TOP SECRET’.” said Twilight in a serious tone.

“Oh, okay. And also, I want ask you something, do you have any spellbooks for beginners?” I said as Twilight beamed her eyes with excitement.

“Really? You want to study magic?” said Twilight, as Spike came in with three plates of pancakes.

“Come and get it!” he said setting the plates on the table as we all sat down and have breakfast.

“So Jyro, you want to study the basics of magic?” said Twilight as we finished our plates.

“Well not really, I just want to see how you unicorns use your magic. As for us humans, we don't have magic, but I'm just interested in reading about it.” I said.

“Really? I could have sworn…” Twilight mumbled.

“What?”

“Nothing.” Twilight then handed me the spellbook using her magic. “Here, this book is just for beginners, the first chapter is about levitation.” said Twilight as she went back to her studies.

“Cool! Thanks.” I sat down on a nearby couch and begin to read the first chapter. “Ok. So… hmm… uhuh… oh… Oh! So that's how it works.” by reading the book, I felt my mind and body clicked with a strange tingling feeling. “Woah. That was weird. Ok, so it works like…” the book suddenly floated out of my hand and dropped to the ground. “What the? ...Uh Twilight?” I called.

“Yes?” She answered.

“Did you do that?”

“Do what? I didn't do anything.”

“Well, the book just float out of my hand so…”

“Hmm. Well, it's not me, it must be something else.” said Twilight going back to her studies.

“Yeah. Probably.” I was confused. I picked up the book again and re-read the section I left off, then it happened again. “There it goes again.” This made Twilight stop and see what's wrong.

“Are you sure you're holding it right?” she said.

“Yes. But, all I did is read that one section and all of the sudden… wait a minute.” I paused and looked at Twilight as she looks to see what's wrong. I picked up the book again and read the same section, memorized it, and it happened, but this time I caught the book.

“I swear it's not me! My magic aura is light-red not yellow-green.” said Twilight witnessing what just happened.

“But… Me?” I am confused and curious. I test out the spell with the book I'm holding. To my shock, it happened.

“It is you! You have magic! I knew it!” Twilight exclaimed happily.

“What! You have magic!? That's awesome!” said Spike coming out of the kitchen finished cleaning.

“But, that's not possible. I only have superhuman strength but… wait.” I flashback the moment I was fighting in the forest against the timber-wolves and how the green bubble shield appeared.

“I remember when you saved me from those timber-wolves in the forest, and during your fight, I saw a green bubble surrounding and defending you against the wolves attack. I thought you might have magic, but I guess it's true!” said Twilight.

“Having super-human strength is what we humans ever dreamed of, and having magical powers…” I look at my hands realizing the power I now hold, with some fear.

“Don't worry Jyro. Sure your magic can be exciting at first, but you must also learn how to control it.” I nodded understanding, but how I can hold back this power? “And another thing, I can sense how much magic you have and to my surprise it is a lot different than normal magic.” said Twilight

“How so Twilight? It's pretty much the same thing to unicorns?” asked Spike.

“Not like this one Spike. His magic has a different frequency to us unicorns, to my surprise, his is a lot more powerful just like…” Twilight paused with a shocked look.

“Like what?” Spike and I said.

“I must report this! Spike write a letter! Now!” demanded Twilight.

“Uh Sorry Twilight, we're out of scrolls.” said Spike.

“What! Ugh I forgot, the shipments are not due till tomorrow. Jyro, I have to go visit at Canterlot and discuss this with the Princess.” said Twilight quickly packing her things.

“Um. Can you explain to me why this is serious?” I asked confused.

“No time! But, I'll be back around two. Come on Spike! Let's go!” she said as Spike jumped on her back and rushed out the door. I just stand there in the middle of the library all alone. Then Twilight came back in asking me a favor. “Oh and sorry if this is so sudden, but can you please do me a favor and clean this mess for me please? And feel free to take a walk around town if you like. Okay? Bye!” then she took off.

I shook my head in amusement of how much in a hurry she is. I remember she said ‘she'll be back around two’. I look at the clock and it's 9:30am and this gives me some time to chill, so I can clean up later. I cleaned up half the mess, then decided to head outside. I took a deep breath, smell the freshest air, and think about where I want to go. I look at myself noticing that I'm still wearing the same clothes and jacket, then an idea popped in my head, that I decided to go see Rarity to get some more clothes.

As I walk by, the ponies around town are pretty quiet during my presence. There were a few ponies that say and waved hello to me as I waved back. I guess there were some that recognized me since yesterday’s party. I was not familiar of the town yet, so I asked one of the locals for direction. Luckily, one was kind enough to give me directions, and I thanked her for it. I arrived at the boutique and headed inside as the little bell rings when I open the door, then I hear a familiar voice that caught her attention.

“Just a minute~!” It's Rarity just finishing a dress that she is making. She then sets the dress on a ponylike mannequin as I sneak up to compliment her work.

“That's a nice piece of work you did there.” I said making her startle.

“Oh! Jyro. I didn't expect you to come, and it's quite rude of you to sneak up to me like that.” said Rarity.

“I'm sorry.”

“It alright darling. Is there something you need?”

“Yeah. Do you remember the offer you said that you can make some clothes for me?”

“Oh yes! How unthoughtful of me to miss this opportunity!” she said excitingly.

“So, can you?”

“Why yes darling. I just need you to take your clothes off so I can measure you.” as she said that I had this gut-wrench feeling that she would see my body exposed and judge me. So, I thought deeply and remembered that she made a gown for me when I was at the hospital.

“Um. Have you done my measurements already? Remember the gown you made for me?”

“Oh, it wouldn't be proper to measure you like a lifeless rag doll, so I took a wild guess. Oh and... don't bother taking off your... Undergarment.” she blushed.

“Oh. Right.” then I blushed. I took off my clothes except my underwear so I can get measured up.

“Now then. Stand over there and raise your… um…”

“Arms?”

“Yes, that.” she then took my measurements. Apparently, she needed a stool to reach my shoulders, but in process it went well until she reached under my arms.

“Hey!... *giggle*”

“Jyro please hold still.”

“I can't help it. *giggle*”

“Alright, now just one more… there! All set. Now, what kind of style are you hoping for?”

“Hmm. Just some casual and sporty clothes, T-shirts, shorts, and pants. And also underwear, and some socks for my shoes.”

“Oh! I forgot to measure your shoes. Give me a moment…” she said measuring my feet.

I didn't mention this, but during her measures, I look at this mare in different angles. This is strange to me, but I find this mare very attractive and beautiful. She then spoke snapping out of my trance.

“There we are! My! And this is all in one set?”

“Yeah. And it's seven set for one week. But, you can just take your time for each set, I don't mind the wait.”

“Oh thank you darling. It will take me a few days to finish up your weekly needed clothes. Is there any final suggestion?”

“Hmm. Actually there is. You see, I don't know the currency for this world, so I will come up a way to pay-”

“Oh there is no need for that darling.”

“What?” I flinched.

“I was looking forward for a challenge to make human clothes, and I enjoyed it. That is my payment darling, and I thank you for this opportunity.” I was dumbstruck of what she said, and I felt guilty about it.

“Rarity please, I know I asked so much for this but let me-”

“I said you already payed me.” she stopped me by putting her hooves on my lips. I could believe she would actually make clothes for me, just for free. But, in second thought it would be something else.

“Is this an act of giving or a favor?”

“Let's just say is a little more of both.” this made me chuckle of how sweet she is.

“*chuckle* You really are the most generous pony here.”

“I just do what is best Jyro, even if they are in need.”

“*sigh* Bless you Rarity, and thank you.” I said as I hugged her and she hugged back. A tear streamed down my face being overwhelmed from her giving. I'm still gonna owe her something.

“You're welcome darling. Now, is there anything else you need?” she asked as we break our embrace.

“No, that's pretty much everything.” then I hear a meow behind me and it's a persian cat, “Oh! You have a cat?”

“Yes I do. Her name is Opalescence, Opal for short.”

“You have a thing for gems do you?” I said looking slyly.

“Well that's because of my talent Jyro. I can find and locate gems wherever they are nearby. That's what my cutie mark represents as well.” she explained as I attempted to pet Opal. Apparently, she hissed at me and fled.

“Well, she's a sassy one. And, can I ask? What is a cutie mark?” I asked.

“Oh. You don't know? Well a cutie mark represents your talent and calling for one pony. If they ever discover their talent, the cutie mark will appear on their flanks.” explained Rarity showing her’s.

“Oh, so that's it.” I checked the clock and see it is 11:15 a.m. “Well, I better get going and clean up the library before Twilight comes back. I'll see you then when my clothes are ready.” I said as I head to the door.

“Okay darling, see you then. TaTa~!” I waved goodbye and head back to the library.

As I walk back, I didn't need directions since the library is the biggest tree in town. Ponies still react to my presence even one little filly asked her mom and said, ‘Look mommy! Is that the human Pinkie Pie talked about?’ then the mother said ‘I‘m pretty sure sweetie but don't make eye contact. It might be dangerous.’. Hearing that made me feel bad. I guess Pinkie is trying to spread the word around town about me. I feel like that isn't enough. I must find a way to let the world know that I'm no threat.

I arrive back at the library, headed inside, and start cleaning the rest of the mess. It took me a good 45 minutes to finish up, I set the pile of books to a corner since I don't know where each book belongs. When everything is done, I went back to reading the spellbook Twilight lent me and continued. The next chapter I read is about: Rotating and Maneuvering. I successfully mastered the levitation section, probably the most easiest part of this book, it's really not that hard. (For me that is...) As I was about to read the next chapter, I heard knocking on the door.

“Hm? I wonder who could that be?” I set the book down then walked to the door. 

As I open the door, my eyes were behold by an amazing yet beautiful white-pearl looking mare with flowing light-colored rainbow mane. To my surprise, she has both horn and wings. She is wearing gold shoes, chest plate, and a crown. She stands about almost the same height as me, but taller, a sun as a cutie mark, and she is looking at me with those majestic magenta eyes. As my quick speculation is complete, she spoke.

“Excuse me, are you the creature that saved my student in the Everfree Forest?” she said in a motherly tone. (Wait… student?)

“Um. Yes?”

“You are!? Oh I must reward you for saving my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. I was worried sick when she sent me a letter about what happened.” she said relieved. (Twilight? Letter? Does she mean…)

“I'm sorry, who are you?” I asked.

“Oh! I apologize. My name is, Princess Celestia, I am one of the co-rulers of Equestria alongside with my sister, Luna.” said Celestia. (WHAT!)

“Wait! You're, THE Princess Celestia!?” I asked.

“I am.” she said, smiling.

“Um. It really is an honor to meet you, Princess. My name is, Jyro, the human.”

“Well, it is nice to meet you too, Jyro.”

“And, what has made a princess to come all this way for?”

“Well, I came to see you. I'm pretty sure I sent a letter to, Twilight that I might be coming soon.”

“Oh yeah. She did mention about that. But, how come you didn't mention us that you were coming today?”

“I wanted to be a surprise.”

“Oh.”

“Is Twilight here?”

“No, she had to go get more scrolls so that she could inform you about me.” I thought of why are we still talking at the door instead of inside. “Oh! How dumb of me... Umm. Do you want to come inside?”

“Oh! Why thank you.” She walked and took a seat on a pillow (I forgot they don’t use stools here a lot...), then she asked, “I wondering, has Twilight studied you yet?” she asked.

“No, not yet. Why?”

“Oh perfect! I was hoping you can come with me so I... I mean, we can study you.”

“...Huh?” I tilt my head one side.

“I know you've been here about two days and not a lot of ponies don't know what and who you are. There is an event coming up in Cloudsdale, and I want to introduce you to the citizens there.” Celestia then realized that I can't walk in clouds. “Oh. You can't walk on clouds, but I can't put you under a spell to walk on them” (NOT!)

“No need. Turns out, I can walk on clouds.”

“Really? So there IS something more about you. Anyway, my offer still stands to come with me to the castle.” I'm excited to go but I happened to have second thoughts.

“Wow Princess, it would be an honor and all, but what about, Twilight?”

“Don't worry about her, I will send her a letter that you will be staying with us for the time being.”

“Okay. But, also-”

“Your majesty!” the sudden voice turned out to be Rarity carrying (what appears to be) saddlebags bowing before her at the door. “It's a surprise seeing you here unnoticed.”

“You may rise Rarity. I am here only for him so that he may come stay with me and my sister, at Canterlot, for the time being.”

“*GASP* The castle!?” Rarity gasped then pointed at me. “Jyro, you will be staying at the castle!?”

“Canterlot. Camelot. *chuckle* A pun.” I mumble myself not answering Rarity’s question.

“Jyro!” shouted Rarity.

“Wha? I mean… ye-yeah, I will be staying with her for a few days. Right?” I said looking at the Princess.

“Well to be honest, you might not be staying here that long because we need to study you about what you are.” said Celestia.

“Oh. That's a shame.” I said hanging my head low.

“On the bright side, you can send letters to Twilight whenever you like. You just ask me and she gets it.”

“Yeah. Going here and back all the time. Easy work there.” I said sarcastically.

“Oh no I don't have to travel. I send messages via magic. Here I'll show you.” Celestia took out a scroll, then writing out loud about me staying at the castle. When she finished, she rolled up the scroll with a ribbon tied to it, and then it went *POOF*.

“Woah! It disappeared!” I said surprised.

“See? This is how me and Twilight receive and send messages.” explained Celestia.

“Huh. That's cool.”

“So, have you decided to come?”

“Oh darling you must go! If I were you I would have said ‘Yes'.” said Rarity.

“Hmm. I don't know. I don't have any extra clothes to take yet or an extra toothbrush.”

“Oh! You're in luck darling.” Rarity used her magic to pull some clothes out of her bag. “I was able to finish two sets for you darling. I hope to is your liking.” she said giving me my new clothes and they are exactly how I want them.

“They're perfect! Thank you Rarity, you're the best.” I said giving her a hug.

“Your welcome darling. See you then! And, feel free to come back if you are planning to have more clothes or make an outfit.” Rarity said as we let go our embrace and say farewell.

“Will do. See you soon!” I wave goodbye to Rarity then turned to the Princess. “So then, shall we get going?”

“We shall.” said Celestia as we exit the library.

“Oh! Give me a sec.” I rushed back in getting the rest of my stuff.

I forgot that I have my own toothbrush so that settles it. I grabbed a saddlebag which Twilight lent me and stuffed my clothes and toothbrush in. Apparently, it is not comfortable carrying this bag so I have to plan to make some adjustments or custom-made. I also left a note on Twilight's work space in case she comes back, and put a ‘Closed’ sign on the door. I walked out and see Celestia waiting patiently as I close the door and locked it.

“So? When do we leave?” I asked.

“Now.” she said.

“Now?”

“Yes. Follow me.” I followed behind her as we walked around the tree and see a gold chariot with two pegasus steeds as transport.

“That?”

“Yes. This is our transport. We will be flying back to Canterlot in less time.” My skin went pale and I shivered of what she said.

“Fly!? I never flown on anything! I never travel on air my entire life, not even on plane! Plus, I might fall off that thing!” I said exaggerating.

“Oh don't worry, this chariot has two seats and has a magical barrier behind the seats so we don't fall off.” she explained. 

I checked the seats in the chariot and it is quite large for two seats. They are small and they have handle bars on each one But, as I looked closely, one thing was missing.

“Where are the seatbelts?” I asked her.

“Seatbelts?”

“You know, the safety straps that hold you tight and safe while we travel?”

“Oh. There aren't any. You can use the bars to hold on and I'll use my magic to keep you still until we arrive.” said Celestia in a calm tone.

“Great. I feel so much safer.” I said sarcastically and grumbled. I started to rub my arm out of stress.

“It will be okay, Jyro and I promise, you won't fall off.” she said putting her wing on my shoulder to calm me down as I nodded.

“Ok… I trust you on this.” I said, hesitantly. 

“Good.” she climbed in the chariot and as I was about to board, I chicken out a little.

“Awww dammit!” I said under my breath. “Haaa COMMON! YOU WEAK MOTHER FFFFFF-!”

“Are you okay?” asked Celestia. (WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE GIRL!? I'M SCARED SHITLESS HERE!)

“Yeah. Gimme a sec.” I took a deep breath a few times then board the chariot. “Okay... Lock me up.” I said as I raised my arms up. I can feel Celestia’s magic holding tight on my lower torso, then I held the handlebars tightly until we launch.

“Are you ready?” she said.

“*OhdearJesusChristpleaseprotectme-*”

“Jyro?”

“*Amen* Yeah. I'm ready. Let's go.” I quickly prayed silently, then prepared myself for lift off.

“Okay. Go.” Celestia gave the order to the pegasus as they begin to take flight.







One scary-ass flying chariot ride later, we landed safely in front of the castle. I'm quite surprised how a big castle can be built on a mountain side. I felt Celestia’s magic disabled as she got off, but I'm still in my seat with a taste of trauma. I even grip the handlebars so tight, it bent.

“We're here. Are you feeling ok?” said Celestia.

“Yes. I am.” I got off the chariot and notice the handlebar I broke off is still in my hand. I asked the Princess about what I could do during my stay. “You know, back in my world, I study in engineering.”

“Oh! You do?” she said.

“Yes. And since I am here, I was wondering I can modify the chariot, if you don't mind?”

“Hmm. I am interested, but we'll talk about that later. For now, let us show you around the castle. And let the guards take your belongings to your chambers.” said Celestia.

“Okay.” I handed my bags to the guards and left to my chambers. We walked to the castle until I thought of something funny. “*chuckle*”

“What's so funny?” she asked.

“Nothing. It's just funny to me that our rooms are called chambers. I may not know, but what lies in yours? Secrets?” This doesn't shake her, but it made the guards look out of wonder.

“Maybe~.” she said.

“*snicker* Okay. But I won't bother to ask, because I don't wanna know.” I said stiffening up with hands behind my back.

“*chuckle* I see that. You are quite humorous, Jyro. I'm sure your stay here will be quite pleased.” she said. (Did I make a Princess laugh? I guess I'm really going to enjoy here.)

We entered the castle, and WOW it is huge. The outside looked big, but the inside look like a giant could fit in easily. The whole interior looks a lot like the ones back in my world, checkered floors, white shiny walls, big-long red carpets, and fancy looking sun and moon tapestries.

“Nice place you have here.” I said.

“Thank you. The whole castle may be a big maze, but you'll get used to it in time.” she said until a guard came and speak to her.

“Your highness. Twilight Sparkle is in the throne room. She wants to discuss some things with you.” said the guard.

“Thank you, Spearhead. I want you to meet our guest, Jyro, the first ever, Human in Equestria. He will be staying here, so make him feel at home and give him a tour around the castle.” she said as Spearhead nodded. “Now then, I'll be heading to the throne room to discuss things with my student. And when you're finished, head in to the throne room.”

“Will do your highness.” he saluted as Celestia left me with Spearhead as she head to her throne.

“So… Where do we begin?” I asked, Spearhead.

“This way.” he said sternly. This is going to be very awkward going through the tour quietly.

In the middle of the tour, we happen to pass by the library, the kitchen, and other rooms that a castle should have. We then walk through the gardens, just around the back of the castle. It is a beautiful garden, and I happen to see some wild creatures roaming around. There is one thing that caught my attention, and it is the strange looking statue. It has a head of a goat with two different horns, body of a bird, arms with one of a talon and the other a lion paw, legs of one of a horse and the other a scaled leg, and finally a dragon tail. I forgot what name it is, I know it starts with a D and involves the word chaos. As I continue on the tour, I happen to hear a faint eerie voice behind me that said, ‘soon' I looked back and saw nothing but that statue, then I continued on the tour and shuddered a bit from what I just heard.

Later on our tour, we are now in a hall that leads down to the throne room. I happen to see a bunch of interesting stained glass windows across the hall. I take my time watching each one before I reach the throne room. Spearhead told me to meet him at the end of the hall when I'm finished. While I was watching and not noticing anything, the guards and Spearhead quickly bowed to somepony who is strolling across the hall. Suddenly, she saw me, and came up to me using her booming voice that scared the hell out of me.

“YOU THERE! WHY HAVE THEE NOT BOW DOWN BEFORE US!?”

“MY GOD! DON'T DO THAT!” I quickly turned around during my reaction and witnessed something... no, someone who happens to be the most beautiful mare I ever laid eyes on. More beautiful than Celestia in my opinion. She is none other than Princess Luna herself.

She is very similar yet a little more shorter than Celestia, instead, she has a dark navy blue coat, wearing silver shoes, a black chest plate with a crescent moon on it, and a black crown. She also has flowing night blue mane with an astral scene like your in space, a cutie mark of a crescent moon with a black background around her flank, and the important part is her luminous cyan eyes.

“FOOL! DO THEE KNOW WHO WE ARE!?”

“Beautiful?”

“NAY! WE ARE-! What?” she stopped. Come on, come up with something that will flatter her or woo her. Wow, I can't believe I'm doing this, but here goes nothing.

“Beautiful... Where I live, we have the moon and stars, but, there were very little number of stars that shine on our black clear sky knowing that there are many, sadly not visible from where I'm from. But now that I'm here on this land, I now see the true beauty of the night. I now see the stars that reveal their infinite numbers, the clearest black and blue sky, and a lovely moon that all made me feel refreshed and renewed. I thank you Princess, for showing how beautiful your night really is, such as a beautiful mare herself that is.”

I knelt down and grabbed her hoof with my right hand, then I put my left hand over to show how much I appreciate her. The guards and Spearhead bugged their eyes out and dropped their jaws to the floor thinking that I am insane for confronting the Princess like that. She froze and blushing bright red for a few minutes until she finally spoke.

“W-what is your name?”

“Jyro, the Human”

“Y-you may rise.” As I did, “Are you the creature that saved, Miss Sparkle that my sister talked about?”

“Indeed I am.”

“Well then, Jyro the Human, my name is Princess Luna, and we welcome you to our castle, and we hope you enjoy your visit.” she said in a calm voice.

“Call me, Jyro.” Luna blushed after I say that “Actually, your sister invited me to stay here for the time being.” I said which made her excited.

“Really! I mean… well we hope you enjoy your stay. And maybe we can talk later then?”

“Sounds good.”

“Right. Well, I must be going.”

“Oh. Okay. See you then, Princess.”

“Please… call me… Luna.” she said with a blush and left to the throne room.

As she left, I fistpump my success that I hit on a pony princess, of the night! I then realized, where did this flirting come from? I don’t know. I now look back at the windows wondering what each of them mean. When I finished speculating, I head to the throne room. The throne room is huge and long interior that will take me at least a 2 minute walk to reach the throne. That is, if you decide to walk lazily. As I reach the throne, I saw Celestia sitting on her throne and Luna sitting next to her. I also happen to see Twilight and Spike standing beside the throne as I say hi to them. I waved to Luna but she shyly looked away causing Celestia wonder.

“I see you've met my sister.” said Celestia. “I was wondering what that shouting was about.”

“Oh. You heard that? Yeah she gave me quite a scare back there.” I said.

“I'm sure she did. And now I wonder, just when you waved to Luna, what made her so flustered? Did you say something to her?” Oh no. She's onto us.

“I uhh.”

“Jyro? What did you say to Luna.” Now Twilight getting involved. This made Luna blush even redder as I'm trying to come up an excuse.

“I said…… she's…… cute?” I winced as I hoped they buy it.

“......That's It?” said Celestia. She bought it.

“Really Jyro? You described her as cute?” I guess Twilight also bought it. I think?

“Oh come on Jyro! She's more than that. You could have said she's beautiful.” said Spike. Nope, I don't think they bought it.

“Well I thought…” I tried to change the subject but…

“Jyro~.” All three of them said. Dammit I had to.

“...*sigh* Okay yes! I said she's beautiful. And she is! But that's all I said, really.” they all eyes me for few seconds then they turned to Luna. She nod in response that I am telling the truth.

“Hmm. Okay then. I believe you.” said Celestia.

“*sig-*

“Next time,” Twilight surprised me by putting her hoof on my belly, “I want the whole story. And please bow before the Princesses once you met them.”

“I… don't bow to anyone or anypony.” Twilight gasped while the Princesses tilt their heads wanted to know the reason why.

“WHAT! What do you mean? Do you have a ruler that you bow down to, like a king or queen?” Twilight asked.

“We do in some regions. But, I don't bow to anything who rules the land or some other deity. The only deities that I bow to is… more of the name of our Father. Plus, I'm technically not your subject.” just explaining that sparks their interests.

“Oh! Silly me... And who or what is this deity of yours?” asked Celestia.

“Uh. It's a really long biblical story. But, we’ll talk about that some other time.” I said.

“Interesting. You worship your own deities where you come from?” asked Twilight.

“Yeah. But, enough about that. Were you going to say something else, Princess?” I asked Celestia.

“Oh? To the main subject then. Very well. Give me a moment.” said Celestia as she reached close to her sister to discuss about something. After a few minutes, she spoke. “In our little discussion, we decided that you’ll be our temporary guest here in Canterlot Castle.” I looked at Twilight just by hearing that, but her expression is just normal. She nodded in agreement, guessing she too had a discussion while I was sightseeing.

“Oh Okay.” I said.

“And there is one more thing that we also declared.” said Luna.

“What is it?”

“We decided… you will become……. our first Human Ambassador.” said Celestia and Luna smiling.

……(silence)……(silence)………(silence)………. annnd.

“Whaaa~?” I was dumbstruck of what they said. But, Twilight was surprised.

“WHAT! Princess I know you and Princess Luna met him for one day, but making him an Ambassador? You don't know what he is capable of, and I already told you about his magic. What if he can't control it?” Twilight has been ranting about me if everything went wrong.

“Twilight please. We will teach him the ways of magic, and I think Luna will be the best teacher for him.” said Celestia.

“Me sister?” said Luna surprised.

“Yes Luna. I have my student and now you have yours. And also, learn with him the ways of how to live in this new modern era, since you've been gone for a thousand years.” said Celestia.

“A thousand years!? How old are- wait… not polite to ask a woman's age… or mare in your case. I can already tell.” I said.

“Jyro!” shouted Twilight.

“*giggle* It's alright Twilight. Will it be alright if I explain everything to him.” Celestia asked Luna if she can talk about her past.

“... Yes, you may.” said Luna looking sorrow.

“Okay then. It all started…”

(One history lecture later)

“... And now she is finally here, home, and returned where she belongs.” finished Celestia.

“Woah. So that's what those windows are about. And one is about you becoming, Nightmare Moon?” I asked Luna and she nod shamefully in response. “You know, back when I was around a young teen, I sorta had the same problem too.” Saying this caught Luna’s attention.

“Really? What happened?” she asked.

“I really don't want to talk about it.” I said with sorrow and a little hate.

“It's okay Jyro. You can tell us.” said Twilight as I looked all three at them, including Spike.

“... *sigh* Okay. You told your story and I tell mine.” Now I will explain to them my horrid past. “Since my I was 13 years old, I lived happily in one town I used to live in. I have everything I ever wanted, even some friends. Until one day, my parents planned to move elsewhere. Everything went fine in the new town I lived in, until I went to school.”

“Until you go to school? What's wrong going to school?” asked Twilight.

“Keep quiet please until I'm finished.” I said gesture my index finger for silence.

“Okay. Sorry~.”

“Everything went normally in school, until lunchtime, I've been picked by bullies. They pushed and call me names all the time, I even called the teachers to help me, but they never came. Until one day, the bullies forced me to see some foul images that were not meant for children to see, and forced me to beat up anothe kid who they think is more wimpyer than me. It went too far for me to bear their torture on me, so I begin to fight back, throw punches, and a voice screaming in my head ‘NO MORE!’. It felt good, hurting them for causing sin on others, but in time, I went to far. I realized what those kids did to me, they wanted to break me.” At this moment, I clenched my fists and trying to fight back my tears, “For such young age,*sniff* what kind of parents let their child do this to another? I felt rage and wrath…. *sob* I don't want it anymore. It's hurting others, *sob* and it's hurting me.” I took a deep and continued, “I never wanted to become that person,*sniff* and I hurt my friend for it. After some time, I am back to my old self, but the kid in school are afraid or don't want to be near me. My parents found out about what happened, they couldn't believe me, but a good friend of mine explained everything, and I was never that person again.”

Celestia trying to keep a straight face from hearing my story, and both Twilight and Spike couldn't stand but give sorrowful looks, knowing their sympathy. While I was trying to forget that event, I felt feathers from a wing pulled me to something warm who is giving me an embrace. I look to see and it was Luna who also have sympathy for me and assuring me that I'm not alone.

“You suffered so much at a young age. And I am sorry to hear how horrifying your past is. More than mine.” said Luna while still embracing me.

“*sniff* It's okay Luna. I'm sure yours is a lot worse, being sealed away for a thousand years. There's no need to look back at that anymore, it's all in the past, so it stays there. And I'm glad that we all moved on.” I said as I embraced her back. I realized what I said at the end and let go. “*blushed* I mean… uhh… not as our… you know… not that we can't be… uhhh-”

“*giggle* It's okay. I understand.” said Luna.

“*giggle* Now that we get to know each other and became friends, I believe it's time for dinner. Twilight? Spike? Will you like join us?” said Celestia.

“Why yes Princess.” said Twilight.

“Will there be gems?” asked Spike.

Throughout the evening, we spend time talking at the table. I gotta say, their dining room is large in fancy, but not as large as the halls. Before our food arrives, they discussed how I will become the new Ambassador during my stay, since now I completely understand that I am the only human here in Equestria, guessing that I now represent my species entirely. (WOW... Tough job.) she even told the guards all over the castle of what I am, some give a disgust look, but they will give me a chance. It won't be an easy job, but the two sisters will guide me in every step of the way, including my lessons of magic. As our food arrives, everyone started digging in their meals, except for me for being picky about flowers or hay, and only eating the veggies. Then, Twilight asked me a question that I was afraid to answer.

“Jyro, whay are only eating the vegetables?” she asked.

“Well, these are the only ones I'm comfortable eating. Besides flowers or hay.” I said.

“Oh. Then what do you eat?”

“Umm… do you know the word… omnivore?” I said nervously. Everyone stopped eating then stared at me, even the guards started eyeing me.

“...You're an omnivore?” asked Twilight worried.

“*sigh* Yes. I eat both fruit, vegetables, and… meat.” I said honestly.

“Do you eat ponies?” asked Spike.

“Oh nonononoNO. I would never, I never once heard anyone eat a pony or a horse in my world. At least.” I said reassuring them.

“Okay so, what kinds of meat do you eat?” asked Twilight.

“Chicken or eggs. Fish is also fine. Those two I prefer eating.” Everyone sighed in relief thinking that I would eat them. (HELL NO!)

“Oh. Well I see no worry there. Chef!” said Celestia as she called the chef rushing in. “Would you be so kind to give our new Ambassador something suitable for his plate? Fruits or vegetables will only be his fine.” the Chef nodded collected my plate and rushed back in the kitchen. “You don't mind waiting for a minute right, Jyro?” she asked me.

“Not at all. Unless, if there's any appetizers.” I said. “I also like to ask, what kinds of foods do you all eat?” I asked.

Twilight started, “Hmm. Well we have…”

(One Food Conversation Later)

“...and that's about it. Are any of them your liking?” she said.

“Yeah. There are a few, thank God you don't only serve hay of whatever. I'm also glad that there are some foods similar to what we have back in my world. I find it odd you eat some that aren't meant for ponies.” I said.

“I see. We are pretty much more in common your world.” said Celestia.

“Your dinner iz zerved.” said the chef revealing my food which is salad.

“Wow. That was fast. Thank you Chef. So, yeah. We are somewhat in common, except the pony part in my case.” I said.

“Oh? And how so?” asked Celestia.

“Well, ponies or horses where I’m from are not a lot like you. There are no pegasus or unicorns, because to us they are myths, plus they don’t talk. And, some stay in the wild or in stables in domesticated areas.” All three of them were surprised of how us humans are unrelated to ponies.

“So, you humans care for them?” Said Luna as I nod in response, “Is there anything else we should know?”

“No that’s about it, but right now I'm hungry. Pass the ranch please.” I said as I began to eat.







Everyone finished their supper, and we all head to the castle library. As we walked in, the library is a lot bigger than the one in ponyville. The library is a two story, has architectural design, and books, lots and lots of books. I don't know at first why we're here, but I know what they’re up to.

“Let me guess,” I turned to the two sisters and Twilight with an obvious grin on their faces, “we are not here just to study books are we? Just something… Live~?” I flexed both my index fingers in a way of saying. (Sorry! I don't know the word!) They all look at each other, then Celestia is now giving a sly smile, on what she is thinking now.

“It would seem so Jyro.” said Celestia giving me sly smile, which is making me nervous.

“Ha...h-how… how long will this take?” I said nervously.

“I don't know. This might take us all night, if we have to.” said Luna also smiling slyly.

“A-and… how will I know when you're done?” Okay now I'm getting scared.

“We're not sure. Maybe until we are all… satisfied.” said Celestia, this is getting even stranger.

“Ladies, I'm freaking out here.” Geez, now my heart is now beating like a jackhammer.

“Oh don't worry Jyro, we are only going to ask you… personal questions.” said Celestia.

“Just between us.” said Luna.

“Are you ready.” said Celestia.

“Um. Okay. I have questions after this, but, be gentle.” I saw the look on their eyes as I cringed to prepare for the worst. 

“Okay then.” Celestia was the first to go, as she's getting close to my ear whispering. Then she asked, “Do you like bananas?” (... Huh?)

“...What!?” I said in a high pitched voice. Suddenly, they all laughed out loud as I know what they just pulled.

“Oh Jyro. They were just teasing you.” said Twilight.

“Yeah but-”

“Twilight is right. Tis but a joke we played on thou.” said Luna.

“I know. It's just-”

“What made you think how we teased you?” said Celestia.

“I… can't say. But how I see it, you all did it really well.”

“Aww come on Jyro. Describe how they teased you, we won't judge.” said Twilight.

“*sigh* You girls are no different than my world how to have fun. Fine! I'll tell you.” I'm gonna regret saying this to two princesses and Twilight. “You both… looked at me… in a… seduce way.” Everyone looked at me saying, ‘Where do you get that idea?’, that's my thought. “Were you all really trying to seduce me?”

“No!” both Celestia and Twilight said in response.

“Maybe.” mummered Luna blushing.

“What was that?” I asked.

“I said nothing.” she said calmly.

“Well, enough about that. I asked you a fake question, so here's the real one. What is your name? Your full name.” asked Celestia.

“Oh. It's Jyro Gunner. Hey, where's Spike?” I said.

“Oh he fell asleep when we walked on our way here. He's sleeping in his bed right now.” said Twilight. She already told me that she used to live here as Celestia's faithful student.

“Okay next question, when is your birthday?” asked Celestia.

“April.” I answered.



Sorry, certain days will be unknown,
except time and month.



“Okay one more question, what is your talent?”

“Hmm. I don't actually know. Sometimes, I can almost do two or more things at once like, multitasking. Other things I can do is play music, cook, build or fix something or-”

“Wait! You can do two things at once!?” asked Twilight. “Celestia! *whispering* ...you think he might do it?”

“Shh! We'll discuss about that later.” whispered Celestia to Twilight.

“About what?” I asked.

“It's nothing. Right now, that's all the questions for now, this is only just to know that we actually believe you. But for now, it's time for bed.” said Celestia as we all exited the library. Huh, asking me questions only a little about me, seems they are still cautious. And I don't blame them for it. I then noticed, Twilight who is not following.

“Aren't you going to your room Twilight?” I asked.

“Jyro, the library IS my room.” said Twilight.

“Of… course it is. No wonder where that little snore was coming from. Guess that was, Spike. Welp, goodnight then.”

“Goodnight, Jyro.” she said as I left the room.

The two sisters and I walked through the corridors until we all reached our rooms. (I am not getting used to say ‘chambers'...) We arrived at my room, I have not yet seen what it looks like inside, but I bet it's nice. I walked in to see the room clean and almost simple. I never guess that the room would be fancier or a royal design, but it's suited for guests that are not royal. And I bet Celestia and Luna are much different based on their appearances. 

“Now I know you are our new Ambassador, we put together this room out of the furniture for guest, so, it will be yours for now, the bathroom is across the hall to the left, and if so you want some adjustments for your room, we will make the changes.” said Celestia.

“It's okay Princess, I'm not one of those greedy, fancy, so called riches you all think. I'm okay what I've got now, thank you. I'll let you know if I need some changes.” I said.

“I see, well if there is anything else you need, let us know. And, just call me Celestia, you don't need to see us as royalty between us, just only see us as-”

“Friends?”

“Yes, as friends.” she smiled. “Well then, you have a lot to do tomorrow, and I wish you goodnight Jyro.”

“Goodnight, Pri- *ahem* Celestia. And goodnight to you too, Luna.” I said.

“Goodnight, Jyro, I will watch over you in your dreams.” said Luna.

“Thanks, I don't know what that means but…”

“Oh you'll see~.” said Celestia with a sly look.

“O-kay. Well, goodnight then.”

“Goodnight.” they both said then left the room.

I look at my new bed and found my bag, I took some clothes out of it and head to the bathroom. I took a moment to think about me becoming an Ambassador, I'm really surprised that I'm the first ever Human Ambassador in Equestria. But what flies in my mind is, can they trust me in this position, or could I provide support to them and the land? I never thought of being their right-hand or hoof, but I will do my best for them. 

I peeked out the door to see no one or pony looking as I snuck in the bathroom. As I enter, it is the most cleanest bathroom I have ever seen! Sure it is royally designed, but the cleanliness is spotless, and I better be careful not to ruin the sanitation. As I finished my bath, I realized that I forgot something.

“Aww crap. I forgot my shorts and underwear.” I said to myself. I peeked at the door and see two guards patrolling the hall. “*sigh* Great. Now I how am I going to sneak past them?” I said quietly. 

I thought of asking the guards to get my clothes for me, yet it will be an awkward moment and a pretty bad start for me. I thought carefully how to sneak them, it sucks that there is no cardboard box here to sneak, if one can appear like magic... Wait, magic!? 

“That's right! I can use magic! But, I only know levitation.” I had to come up a way how to not let the guards see me, so, have a plan to use a soap bar to catch their attention. “Well, here it goes.” I use my magic to quickly toss the soap across the hall and caught the guards attention.

“Huh? Did you hear that?” one guard said.

“Yeah. It came from over there. Let's check.” said the other as they both walk to the sound. Now it's my chance to sneak past them quietly and… success!

(shuts door quietly)

“*SIGH* That was close. Why does the bathroom have to be 15 feet across the hall? I could've been seen. Well, I made it.” I said as I put on only my trousers and shorts, then I walked to the window.

It has been a blast today, I get meet not one, but two rulers of the whole land! I really can't wait what Celestia has in store for me, aside of being Luna’s magic teacher. I jumped in my new bed getting comfortable, and noticed my legs are not in bed.

“Huh. Guess I could ask for a bigger bed. Oh well, tomorrow then.” I said as I snuggle in and sleep for the day.

Luna’s POV (few minutes ago):

Me and my sister say our goodnights to Jyro the Human, then we walk to our chambers to sleep in for the night. I have no clue what to feel about this human, this strange feeling I have never felt before my entire life. Then, my sister spoke to me in a playful tone.

“I see you are taking a liking to Jyro, Lulu?” say my sister.

“Sister please, don't call me by that name.” I said.

“But, do you like him?”

“I… can't say…”

“*giggle* It's alright to admit that you are interested in him.”

“It's not that sister, it's… something else. We never had this feeling through my life. What he said to us how he loves and appreciate my night, I was stunned.”

“Ohhh so he did say something more to you.” Sister smiled slyly at me, “What did he say to you?”

“Well, he does appreciate my night, but, he said that I am as more beautiful than the night myself.”

“He really did say that!?” Sister was surprised, “My! He's gotten it bad.”

“Why? What's bad about it?”

“Oh nothing bad. Just in a way that he might be fallen for you.” I was shocked to hear what my sister said.

“What!? You don't mean that sister, do you?”

“Lulu, it is too early to know. There might be a time that he will confess his feelings, but that will be some time in the future, if it's possible.” I took a moment to think what my sister is saying. Is it true that this human has fallen for me? I do not know yet, until he can confess his feelings for me. I might have that same feeling as well. “It may not be the time yet, but I know someONE has big heart that falls for you. *yawn* Well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight Luna.”

“Goodnight sister.”

We both head in our chambers to call for the day. I thought carefully what my sister said, how should I approach him? What do I do when I see him? Should I act normal? Maybe. I have been thinking that I should visit his dreams, this might be the first time he has ever had full interaction in his dreams. It will be fun to see his shocked expression.

“Now let's see what he is dreaming about.” I concentrate to enter his dream, as I entered, the place seemed dark and strange...
