Chapter Three
In the town of Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle was stirring in her sleep as Celestia’s sun beamed through the window of her bedroom in the Golden Oaks Library. She smiled warmly as she let out a yawn, stretched out both her hind and forelegs, and carefully climbed out of bed. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.
She sighed softly, and turned to look at Spike sleeping soundly in his basket. Letting out a light giggle, she trotted over to the sleeping baby dragon, leaned her head down toward his, and nuzzled at his cheek. “Spike, it’s time to wake up sleepy head.” She smiled warmly at her assistant and friend as he opened his eyes groggily.
“Uh… just five more minutes Twilight, please?” He pleaded tiredly and flipped over onto his side, facing his back toward her.
Twilight rolled her eyes, letting out a giggle, and turned to trot downstairs. “Alright Spike, just five more minutes, then you…” She was cut off by a loud belch, and snapped her head back at the baby dragon. A scroll appeared in his emerald flames. “Hmm… it’s a letter from Princess Celestia, but I wonder why she would send one this early in the day.” A curious look formed across her face as she levitated the scroll over to her.
She used her magic to unroll it and began reading the letter.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
My sister and I would like to invite you, and the other Elements of Harmony to Canterlot Castle. We also would like to introduce you all to a special little visitor we have come to care for. Be aware that this little one is a creature foreign to our land known as a human, but he poses no threat to us, or all pony kind.
Also, we would like to request for the Element of Generosity, Rarity to consider making an outfit for this child. His name is Timmy, and he is such a precious little boy, but he has suffered a great amount of pain. We will be waiting for your arrival.
Your princess and teacher,
Princess Celestia
Twilight squinted her eyes curiously reading over the letter again, paying real close attention to the words ‘foreign creature’ and ‘human’. She placed a hoof up to her chin hmm… a human? Oh, this sounds very interesting indeed. A beaming smile crept across her face and she clapped her fore hooves together. I can study this creature, and maybe write a thesis about my results. She shook her head of the thoughts and looked at Spike “Spike, do you think you can hold the fort down while I’m gone?”
Spike was no flipped over onto his belly as he lifted a single claw, waving it back and forth. Twilight rolled her eyes, letting out another light giggle before trotting downstairs, and exited the library to go gather the other Elements of Harmony.
In the town of Canterlot, the residents were outside enjoying the beautiful morning. While some were taking a stroll along the streets, others were enjoying their daily morning coffee at Doughnut Joes. Yes, it seemed to be going peacefully on the outside of Canterlot Caster, but on the inside a certain royal unicorn stallion was waking up from his slumber.
Prince Blueblood, the nephew of Princess Celestia, who also resided within the castle, carefully climbed out of his bed, and stretched out both sets of legs. He let out a loud, exaggerated yawn, and looked out of his palace room window that overlooked the royal gardens. Well, it looks like it is going to be a great day today. I better go see what’s for breakfast. He turned away from the window and headed to exit his room.
He used his magic to open the doors, and was about to trot out into the corridor, but saw the palace chef trotting down the hallway with one of the many palace maids. He could see them conversing to each other and decided to quickly back away inside his room, shutting his doors slightly to eavesdrop.
“Oh, so the princesses have a new member to add to the royal family?” The maid spoke as they got closer to Blueblood’s bedroom.
“Yes, and the young lad looks like he hasn’t eaten in days. I’m just glad that I could fix him something to eat. The poor boy,” the chef spoke with a concerned tone. “I mean I know he is a human, but no creature should go on without eating something.”
“A human?!” the maid gasped.
“Yes, but he is just a young human. He is just like a little colt, and the poor lad doesn’t appear to have a mean bone in his body.” The butler reassured the maid as both trotted past Blueblood’s bedroom doors.
A look of shock mixed with disappointment crept across his face. A human! How absurd must my aunt be to bring such a lowly and hideous creature, not only into the castle, but of all Equestria?! I am going to go see this for myself. He flicked his mane, took a deep breath, and opened his doors back up to trot out with his head held up high, but let out a disgruntled huff as he headed to the dining room.
In the dining hall, Timmy was just finishing up his oatmeal. He swallowed his final bite and looked up at the two royal sisters “Thank you Miss Luna and Miss Celestia for the oatmeal. It was very good.” He spoke in his small, soft tone, and gave them a light smile.
Luna stroked at his back with her wing, looking down at him with a warm smile, and leaned in to nuzzle him on the top of his head. “Thou are very welcome little one. We are happy that you enjoyed it.” Celestia nodded in agreement as she gave Timmy a warm smile.
Soon the doors to the dining hall opened and trotted in Prince Blueblood. As soon as he entered, he could spot the small child, and gasped. “Ah… so it’s true. There is a human in the castle!” He trotted forward to the three. “Why bring such a creature to the castle for Aunt Celestia?”
“Thou will silence thy tongue Blueblood!” Luna used her royal Canterlot voice loudly, but immediately regretted as she felt the little colt trembling against her side. She frowned, rubbing at his side with her wing, and spoke soft shushing sounds into his mane “Shh…it’s okay Timmy. Please don’t’ be scared, I’m sorry I did that…shh.” She gave him a warm, reassuring smile.
Celestia frowned at the child as he shook against Luna’s side, and then turned to Blueblood with a look of frustration. She stood up, trotting around the dining table “My dear nephew, come with me.” She trotted out of the dining hall as Blueblood had a shocked look on his face, and he turned toward the child, letting out a huff, and followed behind Celestia.
She closed the doors behind her, turning to her nephew, and looked at him disapprovingly. “Blueblood, can you explain to me why would you barge into the dining hall like that, and frighten our precious little guest?” She stood tall as she looked at him with a quirked eyebrow.
Blueblood pointed at the door with a hoof “You call that wretched creature precious Aunt Tia?! He is nothing but an abomination and a threat to all of…” He was silenced as Celestia stomped a hoof on the floor next to him.
“Silence nephew!” She looked at him now with anger in her eyes. “I will not have you berate such a child as sweet and innocent like Timmy. Do you understand me?”
He grunted, turning his head to the side “But Aunt Tia, what about the ponies of Canterlot? What about the ponies of all Equestria? Don’t you think they will fear a creature such as him as soon as he steps hoof beyond these palace doors?” He turned his back to look at Celestia with frustration.
She closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath to calm herself, and opened them to look at him. “Listen nephew, as royals, you, myself, and my sister have learned about the species of humans. All the rest of pony kind hasn’t, but from what I have read about humans, this young child does not seem to be a threat to us. Especially after what he has been through, I can see why he is the one afraid of us, and not us afraid of him.”
Blueblood let out a sigh of annoyance, scuffing his hoof against the tiled floor. “Alright Aunt Tia, the human is harmless and innocent for now, but what will happen when he grows older and bigger than he is now? He could become a major threat and bring an end to all of us, making way for more of his species to come take over Equestria!”
Celestia sighed heavily as she reached up a hoof to rub at her forehead, and then looked at Blueblood. “I am positive he won’t end up like that at all Blueblood, because he is going to be living with us here, in the palace, and in Equestria. We will give him all the love and care he truly deserves, so he doesn’t grow up to be a threatening force to us.”
He huffed closing his eyes in frustration. “I sure do hope you know what you are doing Aunt Tia by taking in this human, but I feel you are making a great mistake.”
“Don’t worry nephew, we are doing the right thing. He needs a home, and a family to love him.” She gave a soft smile “Now if you are finished Blueblood, I’m going to return to Luna and Timmy. Good day nephew.” She turned, opened the dining hall doors, and trotted back in, closing them.
Blueblood let out one more huff before turning to trot away from the dining hall. His brows furrowed in anger I’m not going to let this stand. That creature doesn’t belong here in Equestria, and I’m going to make sure all pony kind learns to fear that abomination.

blueballs dont you dare do it.
did you forget to add Slice of Life to this, because of the situation Timmy is in. and Blueblood don't you dare hurt Timmy and i love it
If Bluebitch does anything to Timmy I'll
... well it won't legal that's for sure
Humans as individuals are not all that much of a threat. We can't fly, we can't use magic. We also aren't faster than the average pony, or even stronger (we have seen both Twilight and Rarity heft around Tom, a boulder as big as they are). All we got are our ingenuity (might be canceled out since ponies are also intelligent) and our ruthlessness (which usually only comes out any more when we are backed into a corner, literally or figuratively). Unless we get magical powers when we come to Equestria, I fail to see why they see us as such a potential threat.
3106077 Oh, he better not, and if he does, he better think twice.
3106081 I am going to add Slice of Life after I respond to the other comments, thank you for reminding me.
3106103 He will definitely regret it.
3106109 Well it is certain ponies like Blueblood that sees us as threats.
3106154 ok and your welcome for reminding you
3106109 we have....
nukes?
Hey Blueblood, I want you to meet a friend of mine
3106188 yes... but you need ALOT of stuff for that... and most people don't even know HOW to build something so advanced
3106225 and
guns?
better not do it Bluecheese... on second thought... DO IT!! I need a new rug
3106228 same thing applies
3106237
crack/cocaine/cigarettes?
3106188 But do YOU have a nuke? As I said, as a group nothing can stop us, as individuals however...
3106254 i am not legally ever allowed the buy a GUN
3106247 again, same thing applies, but in a different format
Blueblood, you'll be sorry!
3106267 hmm maybe not the illegal stuff....
and
kung fu?
3106260 Even with guns, how many bullets can it hold? When we get whisked to Equestria, we are limited to whatever supplies we had on us at the time (if any). And unless Ponies are a lot more advanced than they seem, there is no way to restock without going back to earth, which we can't do unless we get someone to open a portal for us, which will probably have to be Luna, Celestia, or Discord.
3106154 The way you had them talking, it seemed like Humans are in fact dangerous, but Tia sees Timmy as the exception, if he was any other Human, she would agree with Blueblood.
3106281 ok... THAT one, you can be a threat... but a Low-Level threat
3106301 Well, I wanted it to seem like all humans were dangerous with Blueblood talking like that. Also with Celestia giving Timmy a chance, she can see that not all humans are dangerous.
3106302 Chances are ponies have their own form of martial arts. And even without that 1/3 of the population would have you restrained before you get close, another 1/3 can fly away, and the final 1/3 have boosted strength and stamina (boosted when the low physical level for them can apparently still haul boulders around).
3106331 exactly, that's why I said Low-Level
3106336 As in, lower than the average pony.
3106342 I suppose? THEY have increased stamina, magic, and flight... while all WE have is our ingenuity
3106354 Do we have more than the ponies though? Our higher tech could be accounted to there just being more of us, and only one of us needs to figure it out and tell others. That and they might of just focused on studying magic instead of the other types of science, since it has a lot more practical applications. And again, even if we know how to do a ton of neat/dangerous stuff with household materials, we still don't have access to said materials.
3106400 yea... but not EVERY human want's to kill and stuff like that... most of us just want to live our lives how we want, and in piece
3106422 Agreed, I'm just pointing out that even IF we wanted to do anything, individually we are at a HUGE disadvantage. And it's the violent people who stand out the most, so it's easy to think that as a race we give a terrible image.
3106452 THEN there are the rapists, pedophiles, dictators, kidnappers, torturers, and so many others
I'm reminded of a quote from the political comedian and commentator John Stewart “The reason I don’t worry about society is, nineteen people knocked down two buildings and killed thousands. Hundreds of people ran into those buildings to save them. I’ll take those odds every (expletive) day.”
Or do I need to get Patrick Stewart in here to remind us what humanity has accomplished in it's short time span here on this good earth and what more we could be capable of?
In any case the only real danger to Equestria from an individual human wouldn't be in the form of some well armed commando, but in the form of some cunning plotter like Tyrion Lannister or Lex Luthor. Keeping an eye on the nobility, finding their dirty little secrets, playing them off against each other, and expanding your own power, sure there's nothing you could do regarding the Alicorns (barring powerful magical artifact but these generally have side effects) but a lone human could get quite high up in Equestrian society with some cunning and gall.
blueblood i swear you dare touch a hair on his head and you'll be feeling wolf's wrath upon you
3106727 let maul him together
3106301>>3106188>>3106464 Uh...oh. I think I have started a war
... didn't I? 
3106541 That is true, but that is not how Timmy is. He is just a real timid, broken-hearted child who needs love
. However, the one with cunningness and gall is Blueballs.
3106727>>3106749 Yes, two on one.
3106971 I'm aware Timmy isn't like that, more pointing that out to everybody else in this thread over what was more dangerous to Equestria, and Blue Blood may think himself cunning but his inability to literally get his hands dirty, limits how much of an actual threat he can be. Plus no matter how *abnormal* something looks, it's hard to find targeting a kid a just course of action, or amusing for that matter. My guess, Blueblood oversteps the bounds of a good majority of the Canterlot Elite, with only the most snobbish not seeing a problem.
blueblood i swear i'll rip out your heart if you go through with your plan beware of my eyes th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2012/219/3/8/eternal_mangekyou_sharingan__by_akatsukisasuke1102-d5a5gxh.png
Blueblood well get fat dose of bad karma if something happened to Timmy
, another good story. 
3106749 i let you get his face i'll go for the legs
3107482 alright our mission is a go
Grrr....Snarl....Graawr......Urge...grgh.....to.....ggrrrr..........ahhrhhghh.h....kill.......Grshhhh...RISING....GRRROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I am going to repeat a comment i found awhile ago in a fic where they punished blueblood by beating him up and letting the griffons from prison rape his ass for abandoning shining armor in a recon mission: SOMEONE HIT BLUEBLOOD IN THE BALLS WITH A DADRIC HAMMER!!!!!!!
3107802 Thank you for that, I will go back, and correct that.
3107743 Oof..
that will def. prevent him from having children permanently.
3107678 Love Godzilla.
3107579>>3107482 The old high n' low strategy. Great strategy.
3107432 Either that, or karma could make his coat all matted and covered with dirt.
3107087 Uh...oh.. those eyes again Yes, you better watch out Blueblood.
3108143 yes high and low i'll go for the throat while he bits off his shines and yes my eyes beat fluttershy stare
3082527 hey chrysalis *pulls katana out and cuts off horn and give her my ''stare'' blood trickles from eyes* i found food for my wolves muhahaha
It wouldn't rather "I’m going to make sure all pony kind don't fear that abomination." ?
3106967 more of a Debate.... if it was a War then there there'd be more table flipping
3108725 Oh, okay. good. just a debate... whew.
3108586 Hehe.. thank you for that. I am going to go correct it now.
3110245 Aw.. I can just see Rarity and the rest of the Mane Six along with the princesses making sure no harm is brought to Timmy. you shall see though my friend.
3110470 I don't mind at all, and your words truly humble me my friend.
I am truly touched that my stories are able to have a positive impact on others' lives when they read them. 
Another great chapter!
