Megan the Mighty....Pony Cuddler.

Megan sat in silence. She was scared out of her mind. She heard the General say the gundams pilots were not human. And they were trying to capture enemy pilots. "What is their goal? Are they going to dissect me? Torture me for intelligence? Or are they going to eat me?" she was in a near panic. She felt the suit shake as it was set in to a rack. She heard banging on the hatch and muffled voices. She checked her flight suits external reading. It showed that her now depressurised mobile suit was in a pressurized hanger. She was half thankful that at least she could breath, as she took of her helmet. She then heard shouting she didn't understand. Then she saw the fingers of a mobile suit tear away the hatch of her suit. "They really want to meet me." she thought as the blinding light flooded in. She put her hand up to block the light as her eyes adjusted. She heard a voice she then looked and her jaw dropped and the first words a human would say to a non human race where...

"Oh my God! They're so cute!" Right before she jumped out and hugged the two ponies in front of her. One was a purple winged unicorn with a mane of 3 shades of purple, the others was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane. She rubbed her cheek on there shoulders. "I haven't seen a enqaine since I left the family farm." She opened her eyes and saw 4 bat winged pegasi holding spears at her face, and a pony with a black flight suit and helmet with a Dragon skull and crossbones on his chest the same one that was on the suits shield that captured her. Then it sunk in, she just huggle glomped 2 of her captors..... She gave a sheepish smile.

And that's how human history was made.

=================================================

Megan meets ponies pony view.

Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy, walked towards the hanger, flanked by 4 bat ponies in a special armor that designated them the mobile suit support troops. The armor was plane steal, with the v crest of equestrian mobile suits in Jade on there chest and helmets, on one shoulder was the slit eye showing they were trained night guards, on the other was Twilight's mark because she is the princess on ship and all guard in standard armor (in short all that aren't mobile suit pilots) must bear the mark of the highest rank princess aboard ship.

"So Lt Shadow Storm, Why are you and your stallions on call? If you don't mind my asking." Asked Rarity.

The lead guard on the right chuckled, "Not at all Lady Rarity. And to answer your question. Luna took responsibility to oversee the construction and defense of the Star wondering. So she pledged 2 regiments of her personal guard to serve on board the ship. Also I must thank you for your work Lady Rarity, a month back I mail ordered silky number from your butic catalogs. It was for my 3rd Anniversary my wife loved it, and told me to make sure if get a chance, to thank you for it." Said the guard.

Rarity giggled "Oh my, why thank you darling. Both for you and your wife's complaint and for your brute service to Equestria. Just a shame you have to work with that rude Captain Crimson Moon."

All 4 guards burst out laughing not able to hold face. Making the three mares blink and look at them.

"Umm... if you a.... don't mind... what's so funny? Um if you don't mind... I a... asked?" Said Fluttershy looking nervous.

"You thought Ace was rude earlier?." Managed one guard through his laughter.

"That's just him being crossed over your friends stealing suits that he's responsible for." Said another one.

Shadow Storm calmed down first, "That was not him rude you want to see him rude watch him speak with Celestia without Luna there to keep him on his leash."

The last one smiled "You got that right Ace Crimson Moon and his wing mares. Luna's personal Attack Dragons. Luna says attack, Ace ask how many she wants killed." This got him a clop to his helmet by Shadow Storm.

"Mind you tongue, rookie Ace is the Sword of Equestria. The Champion of the Everfree ponies rights, as well as a supporter of the moon ponies bid for guard status. As far as I'm concerned Ace should be given the honor of the title Lunar Champion! If not made a High Knight of Equestria!" Said Shadow Storm

"Ace is really, that big a hero? You would give him the highest title a guard can receive?" Asked Twilight.

"He maybe rough around the edges. But he does what he has to do not just what he's asked. The difference between a guard and pilot is a guard just protects the ponies and holds till you princesses save the day we are a stopgap. But mobile pilots the don't, they can't just sit back and watch something in them drives them to act. That's what a suit looks for in you when you try to claim it. And Ace..... his cutiemark was gained claiming, his suit. To him the mobile suit force is his life." Explained Shadow Storm.

The rest of the walk was in silence as the 3 mares thought on what they learned. Twilight partly admired Ace younger than her and a Captain for dedicating himself to something that became his cutiemark. Fluttershy was slightly scared of the pony... Ace his cutiemark is for being good at controlling a war machine. Rarity thought he sounded like the roguish hero types from pirate romance stories.

The entered the hangar before the team's returned and watched as the suits landed then crossed through the shield that keep the air in the ship and vacuum of space out. Ace's Darkmoon pointed with his shield as he looked over his shoulder. The other five nodded and walked in to another part of the ship as the hanger doors slid closed. His mobile suit strode forward holding the captured suit in the dragon fangs. It reminded Fluttershy of a pet cat bringing home a muse it killed... a image heighten by the black and fluid dripping from the suit and running down its armor. The suit was set in to a locking gantry that was set up for it. Then the dragon head released its hold. The head Loomed over the ponies oil and hydraulic fluids dripping from its fangs like gore from a wolf's jaws. Fluttershy swallowed as she meets eyes with head seconds before it retracted into a arm again.

"Ok open it up." Said Princess Twilight.

The guards and 2 unicorns banged on it a bit and tried magic but it was no use the hatch was crushed in place.

Twilight looked at the Darkmoon "It looks like you crushed the hatch! Is the pilot even alive?" She shouted

The eye looked at Twilight and glowed it felt like it was growling at her. Then Ace's voice came from the machine. "Yeah the pilots alive. Stand back I'll rip the chest of..." He said.

The ponies backed up as the suits hand reached over them gripped the armor and tore away the front of the chest showing joints wires and hydraulics, and the gaping hole that was a cockpit. Twilight and Fluttershy both curious to get a look at the New race stepped closer and saw a creature similar to a Minotaur. But smaller the size of a pony and peach tan skin on its face with a short blond mane and small blue eyes. It had its arms in defensive position. It lowered its arms looked at Twilight and Fluttershy then it's eyes brighten and it bearded it's teeth in what could been a smile before it shouted something in its language and.... glomped Twilight and Fluttershy in a hug? It then mumbles something in its own language and started to rub its face on Twilight's and Fluttershy's shoulders seeming to enjoy the feel. Twilight was confused and Fluttershy was blushing red as Big Mac. The Alien stopped and looked up at Ace and the 4 bat pony guards holding their spears glaring at it and gave them a week smile.

The guards looked to Ace who sighed flapped forward making the Aliens eye's widen in fear before putting a hoof on its head and zapping it with low voltage shock, knocking it out. "Ok anyone else surprised that it just hugged Princess Twilight and Lady Fluttershy?" Asked Ace getting nods from all there.

Fluttershy snapped out of her shock and embarrassment she rolled the alien over and put her head to its surprisingly soft chest and lessens for a heartbeat. "Oh good it's not dead." She said as she stood up.

Twilight now recovered sighed then spoke "OK, that's good. Thank you Ace for your quick thinking. I don't think it was trying to hurt us, but better safe then sorry. Guards take it to quarantine and remove its flight suit."

The guards saluted and then carried the unconscious alien away. Fluttershy following behind fussing over the aliens safety.
"Princess there is still the matter of your friends." Said Ace as he took off his helmet.

"Celestia wanted all of the council of harmony, to be trained in mobile suits during this voyage... So... deal with them as you would trainees that took their suits out for a joyride." She said looking Ace in the eye and suppressing the shiver she got from his smile.

"Oh thank you princess, I'll do just that and you and your other friends make yourself at home in your officer and royal quarters. I'll see you after breakfast to see if the suits will accept you. In the mean time feel free to play with your new toys. Just don't brake the smaller one there harder to get the the big one was." Said Ace pointing at the damaged suit behind twilight before flying off.

"My he seems to have lightened up considerably. Why do you suppose that is?" Asked Rarity

"Well I'm sure half of it is I told him to punish Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie as he would any other cadets that did what they did." Answered Twilight.

"You don't think he'll do anything too harsh do you?" Asked a fear full Rarity.

"I'm worrying about that my self." Said Twilight.

The two were drawn to the laughter of the earth ponies setting up to examine the suit.

"What's so funny?"Asked Twilight.

"Oh what you set loose on your friends. Ace won't hurt them, but they will wish he simply beat them black and blue by the time he's done. Ain't that right Darkmoon? Your little buddy going to make those mare wish they were in Tartarus!" Said the mechanic.

Twilight and Rarity turned to see the suits hatch had closed and it set the chestplate of the alien suit down. It looked back at the mechanics and nodded then looked at Twilight as its eye started flashing and the suits body language implies it was laughing. It then started to walk away.

"It was laughing at me?!" Said a surprised Twilight.

"Eeyupe the Darkmoon is probably the smartest suit on the ship and the 3rd smartest Equestrian suit there is. Only ones smarter are Luna's Nightstalker, and Celestia's Solarwinds. Ace talks to it a lot and tells all the pilots to at least once a day talk to there suits." Answers one of the mechanics.

"Really are the suits capable of speaking?"Asked Rarity.

"Not verbally. They can commune mentality when linked with their pilot. But after a while they start doing the eye flash thing. Ace calls it a optical voice. And when a suit starts to do that they can understand verbal communication and the pilot can understand the flashes of a suit. He even has been saying that he will watch the skull team suits talk to each other. I never seen it tho." Said the first mechanic.

"I have walked in to clean one of the other suits and all 3 were over in the corner flashing eyes at each other a high rate of speed. One spotted me and moved its head while flashing then all 3 glared at me. Like they were accusing me of eavesdropping. Made my fur crawl. If they are smart enough to talk to each other and move on their own, I say treat them as you would there pilot and don't anger them." Said the other mechanic.

"Really? I wonder if anypony has tried to study this." Said Twilight.

"I think it's creepy. Though I'm curious about their view on fashion." Said Rarity.

=====================================================

Central Storage Hanger.

Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie Pie Sat at the feet of their suits helmets in there fore hooves. Under the glares of Trixie and Sunset. The 3 seated mares watch the Darkmoon walk in its eye flashing. Trixie's ear twitched as she looks over her shoulder as the Darkmoon walks over to to Showstopper and Black Magic. After a moment of flashes the other 2 start to flash wildly like Darkmoon was . The three suits stop look at the seated mares then start again as Darkmoon walks to its paddock.

"What's going on?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Our suits are laughing at what Ace's Darkmoon overheard. I didn't catch all of it, but from what I did. It sounds like you 3 are going
to be hating life for the forcibly future." Answered Trixie.

"Um why's that... Um... Lt Trixie?"Asked Applejack.

"It's actually Lt. Lulamoon technically. Trixie's full name is Trixie Lulamoon. And we will find out when Ace gets here." Said Trixie.

Sunset chuckled and pointed to Ace in his black cap (40s paper boy hat) and his treadmark jacket. "Speak of Discord and he will appear!" Said Sunset.

Ace smiled like a mad pony "Discord? Please..... Discord is Chaos! I am Ace Crimson Moon! I am war incarnate, chaos follows in my wake!" He shouted with a dramatic pose.

Sunset and Trixie giggle as they walk towards the locker room.

Rainbow, AJ and Pinkie look at the pony with worried faces. As he takes his place in front of them. The three gulped after that entrance they were more than a little nerves.

"I spoke to Princess Twilight Sparkle. She informed me that Sun Flank, has asked that you her and the rest of your friends be trained as mobile suit pilots. So you three will not be serving jail time." Said Ace as he started pacing.

Applejack sighed in relief and thanked her lucky stars, and the royal sisters. Rainbow Dash was still nerves as a Wonderbolts reserve this could kill her dream. Pinkie just gave a hopeful smile.

Ace looked them over then continued. "Twilight gave me full permission to punish you three as I would cadets that took their suits out without approval." He looked to the locker room door as Trixie and Sunset came out in their regular outfits. He nodded as they flank him. Then continued his speech. "Given this information, you three will where those suit for the next week. You will sleep in your mobile suits. You will shower in the locker room over there before breakfast and after dinner. You don't get breakfast till after you 3 polish your suits as well as ours. After breakfast you will run laps pulling Trixie and Sunset and 300 pounds of dead weight on a sled the whole length and width of the ship at full gallop. If you slow down the two of them get to tell you any stories they see fit hell they can lecture you about paint drying if they want." The three gulp. "And you will do this till lunch. After lunch you will be doing full contact sparring with the guards till dinner. This will be your life for the next seven days. Am I clear?" Said Ace

The three mumbled there yeses Ace eye twitched.

"I SAID ARE WE CLEAR CADETS!!!!!!" He shouted.

The three snapped to attention "Sir! Yes Sir! Sir!" They shouted in fear.

"Good go get copies of the mobile suit regulations book and read it till dinner. You get no launch today and tomorrow your hard punishment begins. Dismissed." The three scrambled to find the books.

After they're out of ear shout Trixie asks. "How long before they realize there's no such book?"

"Oh I say til dinner... or they ask Twilight." Said Sunset.

The three of them laughed.

=================================================

Quarantine

Megan woke on a really soft bed. "What a dream that was. Alien ponies in Gundams. I need to lay off moonshine."she thought to herself as she stretched. She then noticed she went to bed naked. "Shit how much I drink......." She then sees she's in a room with a glass wall and on the other side is the pink maned yellow Pegasus and a pair of bat wing pegasi.

"Oh come on... So I go down in history as the first human to meet aliens and I hugged them squealed like a high air head." She face palms. "Please tell me they're going to eat or dissect me cause if not I'll die of embarrassment when the Solar Republic here's about this." She then noticed a brass ring.... "where this come from?"

"I put it on you... it's a ring of translation it automatically translates what you hear and say to Equestrian... I um hope that's ok?" Said the Yellow Pegasus.

Megan looked up at her then at her own bare chest, at her again then her chest, after a 3rd time she eeped and covered herself with a blanket. "So is this where you probed me or dissect me?" Megan asked nervously.

"Um no and we don't want to eat you either. Um sorry about your suit, and all those that... That..." The yellow Pegasus lowered her head as she spoke.

Megan nodded "Thank you, and sorry about the um... cuddle." Said Megan blushing. Then she asked "Um can I get my clothes back or at least my under garments?"

"Oh um why? Are you cold?" Asked shy.

"No it's..... Well humans always where cloths." Said Megan.

Fluttershy blushed "Oh I see." She looked at guard. "Can you please get Rarity for me?"

"Yes Lady Fluttershy." The guard said with a salute and set off.

"We had trouble with your cloths so the doctors cut them off before documenting you. Um... sorry. Umm... what's your name?" Said Fluttershy.

"It's Megan Williams, I'm an ensign in the Solar Republic's Mobile Suit forces. That battle was my first time in combat..." She said as she pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her head on them.

"Don't feel bad. The Skull team are from what I heard the best pilots in Equestria and the have very big reputations." Said Fluttershy.

"So that black suit with skull? It's the team leader and top mobile suit pilot of your people?" Asked Megan.

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes Ace Crimson Moon. He is said to be the best him and his suit the Darkmoon are veteran fighters. From what I hear." She hid behind her mane as she spoke

"So I robbed this Ace of his prize so he took me instead?"Asked Megan.

"His orders were to protect My friends as they tested their suits against your race's and to capture a suit and its pilot if possible. You acutely allowed him to complete his objectives. He just upset he couldn't bring the red one and its pilot back too." Said Fluttershy.

"Oh well then........ what's going to happen now? I mean that skirmish probably is the start of a war and all..." Said Megan

"Oh my! I know a lot of your race died but to go to war over one battle that was never meant to be to the death. I mean so many lives lost the pilots there suits...." Fluttershy she added some tiers.

"I understand the pilots but suits are just machines wires, gears, hydraulics and computers there not alive." Said Megan

"Oh! Your suits aren't? That's something of a relief that not as many died as we first thought." Said Fluttershy.

Megan stood up and rushed to the window. "Wait you're saying that your mobile suits are alive?" Asked Megan in shock.

Fluttershy nodded as her eyes ran over Megan bare body and her face started to turn red. "Um.. Yeah and I see why your race wears clothes all the time." The lewd look of the guard next to here said the same as both their wings started to stand up.

Megan blinked.... Then screamed and rushed back into bed and wrapped herself in the blanket. "Ok when can I get new clothes?" She asked.

At that moment Rarity walked in looked at the seen "Um.... am I interrupting something?"

==========================================================

Hall of the Star Wondering

Twilight walked down the hall looking over the reports she got from the doctors and mechanics. The mechanics say that the Alien suit is dead metals completely it was powered by a small electric generator that used a strange contained explosions they don't understand. "Why such a dangerous power source one hit in the right spot and the whole thing goes boom? There must be safer power sources. Even more worrying is the machine is not dead replacing the core and it came right back it was soulless automation no mind or instinct. Relied solely on its pilot and a needlessly complex control system." Twilight mused in her head.

"Excuse me Princess Twilight Sparkle. Could I get your autograph." Twilight looked to see a gray coated, red maned mare (at first glance) earth pony pilot in the dress uniform holding a princess Twilight heroes of equestria card and fountain pen. The uniform was dark green and had the mark of Skull team on her shoulder, Twilight was told that the units and pilots of the everfree ponies took Ace's Skull team Mark as a mark of hope and honor.

Twilight took the pen and card in her magic "Sure. This is a first, I must say. Who do I make it out to?" Said Twilight

The mare squealed. "Um... I'm Lt Quick Fang, from the Everfree core Jade team."

Twilight smiled, as she wrote -To Lt Quick Fang of the Everfree Core's Jade Team, wishing you the best, Princess Twilight Sparkle the princess of Friendship and Magic.- "I hope that will do."

She magics the card back to mare who squeals with joy "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Twilight turns to see the mare bouncing around in the hall then she froze. "You a sn.... sn.... sn...."

The mare turned and smiled showing "Snake Pony? We prefer Lamia Pony..... princess?" Twilight had dropped her peppers and froze eye's wide. The mare poked her causing the princess to fall over and make a sound like stone falling over. She looked at card info and face hoofed. "Oh buck I broke the princess. Ace is going to have my scales for a belt!" On the card gave trivia about the hero shown on Twilight's it says - Fears xpovicphobia and Ophidiophobia.- "I figured that meant the regular snakes not snakeponies to? I'm in so much trouble. Ok Princess, I'm not going to hurt you I'm just taking you to the med bay." She said as she collided around her and started down the hall. Her coils were red like her mane with gray belly matching her pony fur. On her snake body was her cutiemark a pair of winged fangs. Unlike most other ponies a Lamia cutiemark is repeated several times on her coils.

=============================================================

Ship library

"Oh common you don't have a copy?" Asked Rainbow Dash as Pinkie and AJ looked at each other with worry. They looked for the book themselves but failed and know where asking the bunny mare with a blue coat and white mane and tail. She wore a black dress suit that had Ace's Skull team mark on her chest pocket.

"Girls but all books here are public access. Try in pilots nest the mobile suit pilots on ship club. You 3 are pilots judging by the suits. Try one of your fellows. By the name it's probably a training manual so if anypony on ship has it, one of them should." Said the bunny pony.

"Ok thanks for the help." Said Dash as they left.

"You don't think Ace be a big meanypants and not let us have dinner if we don't read the book do ya'." Asked Pinkie.

"I don't know, sugarcube. But I think he's making us find this book is more then it seems." Said AJ.

"What like a test?" Ask Dash

"Maybe." Said AJ.

===================================

Med bay

"I'm sorry, Captain Crimson Moon. I'm so sorry!" Cried Quick Fang.

Ace was in a fit of laughter "At least you got her autograph before you scared her stiff." Ace was rolling on the floor now as Trixie and Sunset were snickering. As they watched the doctor giving the princess muscle relaxant.

"It not funny Captain." Pouted the Lamia pony.

"It kind of is Fang." Said Sunset

"No it's hilarious." Added Trixie who broke out laughing now.

Ace gets himself under control. Then says. "This snake fear is a big issue. Fang when she comes too, tell her that you and Jade Team are assigned to training her Rarity and Fluttershy. In mobile suit combat. And that she will be flying wing for you in training. Understand?"

Fang nodded "OK Captain I'll tell her." She gulped "I just hope she doesn't break again."

Ace lost it again gave the Lamia pony a pat on the back as he and his wing ponies trot out laughing there flanks off.

"It's still not funny..." Pouted Quick Fang.

====================================

Supply room

Rarity had taken the hoomans' measurements and she was explained about why and what clothes hoomans' wore. She was now in the supply room getting materials. With help of miss Silk, and Spring Wind. Silk and Spring Wind wear ships tailors spinsters. And both Everfree ponies.Silk was a spider pony she had large fangs and 8 fluffy pony legs and a large spider back end with her cutiemark a roll of silk on top of it. Her fur was black with Jade brown splotches. She also had 6 blue eyes. The other mare was a moth pony with wings like gypsy moth and the fuzzy antennas. Her coat was black and eyes brown, her mane, tail and color fluff where blond, her cutiemark was a pink ribbon in the wind that falls in to flower petals.

"We're glad to be of help Lady Rarity." Said Silk.

"I do so appreciate it, darlings. And it will be a big help having experienced seamstresses that are used to... different body types than me. This hoomen has a complex clothing culture. That requires special made clothes... " Said Rarity.

"Oh... honey you are singing a song we know well. All those slithering Lamia ponies ask us to trim their non combat uniforms skirt just short of revealing their mare hoods and then ask for sashes with their cutiemarks on it to wear under the skirt. Some tradition of their tribe." Said Spring Wind.

"Speaking of tradition I see your uniforms are blue like the rest of the crews, but you both have that scary Skull mark rather than a princess on the left shoulder and Twilight's on the right. I know the guard traditions.... So why do the Everfree ponies where that skull and crossbones? Rather than the Celestia or Luna's guard marks?" Asked Rarity.

"It Ace's mark he chose before he got his cutiemark. We Everfree ponies where his mark as oath to Equestria. To do all we can to serve and protect its ponies." Said Silk.

"Yes we swore an oath to first to Equestria, then to the Princess. Just as Ace did." Added Spring Wind.

"Oh my, so you put what's best for all ponies over your selves and even the princess....?" Asked a shocked Rarity.
The nodded. "Yes if our deaths can save lives we will glade die for others."

"Willing to.... Oh my by all rights one of you should have been generosity...... IDEA~ When you 2 finish your enlistment would you like to come to work with me at my shop." Said Rarity

The next thing she knew she was in a group hug and hearing a stereo "Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!"

============================================

Quarantine

Fluttershy had asked the guard to stay outside cause she was planning something...... brave, crazy and stupid..... Dash would be proud and mad at the same time.

She opened the door to the isolation room and walked in. "There no more walls. Now we can talk like friends. That feels better right?" She asked as she hopped on the bed next to Megan.

"You mind if I um pet you? Your race looks like an animal my family raises on our farm?"Asked Megan blushing a little.

"Oh...Um.. Ok. Is that why you. Um... hugged me and Twilight when you saw us." Asked Fluttershy.

Megan face palmed "I hope it was not recorded."

She started to run her hand through Fluttershy's mane the mare smiled and closed her eyes. "Well it was I'm sorry to say but given that Twilight is a princess I'm sure she can keep the recording crystal in the Canterlot vaults till about a hundred years after you great great great grand children are grown up..." Fluttershy giggled a little as Megan's fingers touched her ears.

"Wait she was royalty? Oh hell, I guess that as first contacts go this was as bad as it gets. Human killed and the one that's captured hugs and gets friendly with the aliens.... Yep I'll never be able to show my face in the republic again when they see that recording..."sighed Megan as she subconsciously started to scratch Fluttershy's chin making the mare spread her wings and stick her neck out.

"Well if you like raising animals, you could come stay with me in Ponyville. Little to the left please." Asked Fluttershy as she lays her head in Megan's lap and rolls on her back.

Megan blushed a little more. "You're enjoying this more then you should be..." Said Megan giving Fluttershy a pointed look.

"Oh.... my... Um sorry but we'll. It felt really good...." Said Fluttershy with equal blush to the humans.

"Oh my Fluttershy if you're going to get that close to the a alien mare you should lock the door." Said Rarity. As she stifled a giggle with her hoof as both Fluttershy and Megan turn redder than Applejack's brother.

"It's now officially the most embarrassing day of my life!" Shouted Megan with a huff.

Fluttershy curled into a ball. "It's starting to look that way for me too." Mumbled Fluttershy.

Rarity levitates Fluttershy out of the room and replaces the mare with the fresh made clothes. "We'll let you get dressed. I'll just chat with Fluttershy outside. Knock when you're done." The 2 mares soon left.

Megan looked at the clothing the bra and panties looked like they remade her old ones in.... silk? high grade silk even dyed it red. She was really regrets having worn her fave panties and bra to day. The clothing was a white version of their uniforms and it hugged her curves a lot more than a republic uniform did. And the material felt like it was satin. "If nothing else they treated there solders good. I mean if they just modified a regular uniform for me. Then the soldiers get treated like nobles, I wonder what clothes the princess wear are like... when she chooses to wear cloths." Megan thought to herself then blushed as she remember she hugged a princess.

==========================

In the hall

"I must say I never pegged you as the type to go for exotic romances, or other mares." Said Rarity.

"WHAT! Um.... no.... it's not like that..... I..... I was just trying to help Megan get comfortable. It was purely platonic." Stammered Fluttershy the her whole coat turning red.

The guard rolled his eyes as Rarity giggled. Then the door opened and Megan walked out. "Two questions one Why has Fluttershy turned red? And do I have to stay in there?" Asked Megan.

Fluttershy just curled into a ball again. The guard cleared his throat. "No but the Princess requested that at least one of her friends be with you as you explore the ship. As you are a guest and not a prisoner...." The guard looked at Rarity helping to calm Fluttershy.

He then leaned in a whispered to Megan. "Just know that every guard on this ship is keeping a eye on you and if you so much as think of hurting Princess Twilight or one of her friends.... Well Captain Ace heard of about that fear of the aliens eating you and he can arrange that happening with the help of one of the snake ponies or spider ponies."

Megan gulped "I understand sir." Said Megan as some disturbing images flashed in her mind.

"So Megan... what you want to see first?"Asked Rarity.

The answer came as her stomach growled. "Um the mess hall?..." Said Megan blushing.

==============================

Pilots Nest

Dash, AJ and Pinkie walked in to pilots nest. They blinked in surprise at the number of different ponies. It looked like something from a fiction book. A Pegaus Draycony was hoof wrestling a spider pony as a 3 bunny ponies all mares cheered the two stallions on.

Behind the bar another spider pony was mixing 2 drinks at once as a mix group watched in awe. A pair of draycony earth pony mares giggled as he winked at them. While a pair to snake ponies whispered in to each other, one stallion the other mare. The last of the group was an earth pony stallion with a scar on his face.

One table had 3 ponies in matching uniforms blue with a Aces Skull mark where other guard members wore the royal or night guard mark. One was a tiger moth pony the second was a snake pony and last was bunny pony. They showed their hands to the moth pony and snake pony face hoof as there friend raked in the stack of bits.

Another table had 2 bat ponies, and a unicorn drinking and swapping stories.

Lastly there was a spider mare in the back corner wearing a tank top that read -Jade Team Shines- next to her was a stack of books her fur was black mane red and the cutiemark on her spider tail thing was well a red hourglass with a black widow spider in the top half of it.

"Well at least the Captain ain't here. If he saw us asking for to borrow a copy of the mobile suit regulations manual. He probably tack on more time to the punishment." Said AJ

Pinkie nodded as Rainbow Dash flapped into the air and shouted "Any pony got a copy of the mobile suit regulations book thing!" All but one pony answered with a chorus of.

"Nope"

"No"

"Haven't see one since Canterlot."

The spider mare in back looked at the 3 with green eyes and gestured for them to sit with her. They walked back to the table and sat down a moment waiter set 4 mugs of hard cider on the table. "I had the order on stand by when the Captain called in he was on the way back. You three are the first cadets he has had in a year, and he opened of with his favorite test..." She smiled at the three taking a drink of her cider.

"What test?" asked AJ as pinkie and Dash chugged their cider.

The mare chuckled. "The send the green as grass rookie to look for a book that's not real." She said with a smile as Pinkie started laughing,Dash choked on her drink and AJ face hoofed.

"What!" Shouted Dash

"Why that...." Said AJ

Pinkie laughed

"I'm Lieutenant Junior Grade Widowmaker Jade Team Suits 3. Nice to meet you. My team was assigned to train Princess Twilight, Lady Rarity, and Lady Fluttershy. Lieutenant Quick Gang, is with Twilight... helping her get past her fear of snakes..." Said Widowmaker.

"Um.... why?" Asked Dash.

Widowmaker's grin grew. "The LT is a snake pony, and well the Princess was kind of was scared stiff. My poor LT slithered into the med bay with a Twilight statue in her coils, crying her eyes out. The poor dear idolizes You all she even has the full heroes of Equestria card collection, including the Princess Twilight Sparkle card she asked her to autograph before she was scared stiff." The spider pony chuckled a little.

=======================================

Med bay

"I had the worst dream...." Said Twilight as she opened her eyes to see the snake pony, the upper pony half at least.

"I'm sorry to have scared you so bad Princess Twilight Sparkle. I only wanted to get your autograph." She blinked and put her hooves together. "Oh I almost forgot, Ace has assigned Jade Team to help train you, Lady Fluttershy and Lady Rarity, in mobile suit operations. And to um.... help you not freak out about contact with snake ponies...." Said Fang

"Oh.... I..... See.... I am going to faint now." Said Twilight she then did so.

"Yep Ace is punishing me...." Said Quick Fang as she slammed her face to the mattress.

==========================================

The Mess Hall.

Megan looked around the room. Bunny ponies, earth ponies, spider ponies, pegasi, bat ponies, unicorns, snake ponies, zebras and Dragon ponies. They all looked at her as she, Fluttershy and Rarity joined the line. It was high school all over again... when they finally got to the food she was surprised to see fish, ham and chicken. "Um... can I have some ham please, and mac and cheese.

The spider behind the counter nodded, and dished up the food without a word. He handed Megan the plate and went to the next order. Megan grabbed a brownie from the desert tray, and followed Rarity with Fluttershy behind her.

"Miss Rarity! Miss Shy! Over here!." Called a Dragon pony with horns, waving a clawed hoof.

Rarity smiled and sat down at the Dragon mares table, followed by Megan and Fluttershy. "Thank you, darling. To who do we have the honor to eat with?" Asked Rarity

"The names Petite Officer 3rd Class Ruby. I'm part of Jade Team suit 2 my team will be handling yours and Princess Twilight's instruction. Oh and nice to met you miss alien." Said the red fur/scaled pony with a blue mane eye's and horns.

"My name's Megan. I have to admit the number of different races here is impressive are all from different worlds?" Asked Megan witch got a roar of laughter from all that heard it.

"Different races... there's only one race on this ship, Miss Megan, and yours is the first race from another world we met on our first trip into space." Said Ruby

"What?"Asked Megan

"Yes there is over a dozen pony tribes. Then there are the other four races Dragons, Diamond Dogs, Griffins, and Minotaurs.... all from our world." Said Fluttershy

"That's amazing, human call each other a different race, if their skin tone is different. But you all are physically so different..... it's impressive." Said Megan.

"How so?" Asked Rarity

"Well for a long time humans would and some still do, kill, enslave and persecute each other over stupid things. Like skin tone, ancestry and where you're from even..." Megan lowered her head "I'm from Neo Texas colony. My father's father was part of the second Neo Zeon forces during the Gryps Colony conflict. He was K.I.A. in the battle... my grandma says he was built like a mountain, fought like a demon, and died with honor. Stories of him made me become a pilot. But because I was space colony born lots of Earth born and some Mars born, treat me like I'm trash... even if I am.. or was fighting to protect them." Megan eyes watered. As she clenched her fists around her silverware. She then shove a spoon full of food in her mouth and chewed with a focuses that said she was trying to keep from losing her temper.

"That terrible and your rulers allow that?" Asked Rarity in shock

"The Republic council are a bunch of rich snobs that care only about what the rich think, because there ones who pay for their election." Said Megan with distaste.

"What about your Princesses?" Asked Fluttershy as she laid a wing over Megan's back.

"The last princess I know of was the Crossbone princess from a few years after I was born and she stood up against her own nations army. That was before the Crossbone pirate nation joined the republic. And no one knows what happened to her after their leader and her father iron mask died..." Said Megan as she put her hand to her chin. "But like I said that was 20 some years ago give or take...." She went back to eating.

"Wait you're a soldier and you're only in your early twenties? I mean most ponies don't start to live on there own till they get their cutiemark and that's about mid to late twenties.... And you have to be thirty to join the guard! Cutiemark or not! Ace is the youngest officer in history at thirty-eight, he'll I'm a hundred twenty-four years old granted draconys live for thousands of years like our dragon cousins. I mean the average earth pony lives to be three hundred or so..." Said Ruby.

"Thousands of years? The oldest General in the ranks is my base commander and he's in his eighties, and the next oldest is in his sixties. I think the oldest human on record is only two hundreds and he needed machines to stay alive. The average Human lives, if they're lucky to be a hundred. Most in the government and army think General Ray is too old to be still surviving." She stopped and scratches her head. "I just want to know how he manages to still pass the physical to stay on active duty as a pilot." Said Megan.

"Oh my! From what you just said it be like Applejacks grandmother serving in the guard! How can he still be able to fight?" Asked a slightly concerned Rarity.

"I'd like to know myself, he still hold the top simulator scores and he sounded, if you pardon the pun, health as a horse when he chewed me out for calling him sir.... Apparently he prefers to be called by his rank and last name. Ether that or being called sir makes him feel his age." Said Megan as she started on her desert. "Oh wow! If this is the standard food you ponies get then maybe I should defect. I mean this is like five star meals." She coed.

There came a shout from the kitchen. "Thanks two legs!" Shouted a cook.

"How good are your races hearing?" Asked Megan

The Dracony Ruby grinned "Everypony here heard you more or less. Depending on race we could hear a pin drop in a thunder storm." She said

"It's true pegasi and our threshal cousins.... Um the bat ponies... have extremely good hearing." Said Fluttershy.

"Oh.... So let's see stronger, faster, magic or so advanced it looks like magic, and there mobile suits are alive.... Oh and they have faster than light travel. Ok it's official. Humans are the primitive backwater race in the galaxy." Said Megan tossing her arms up at the end. The whole mess hall cracked up laughing.

"Well you have expanded and colonized a world. We haven't done that yet." Said Fluttershy.

Megan gave a weak smile to the mare. "She is really sweet to say that. But humans are S.O.L. if we go to full war. I mean if there suits are alive how do you even pilot them?" She thought to herself.

========================================

Space Ship of N.E.N.U. Red Claw Bridge.

Gilda watched the Star Wondering return the magic relay already told the princesses about the aliens and their primitive suits... which the ponies graciously shared with the non equestrian notations union.

Gilda snorted "Stupid ponies just capture a pilot when they could have taken the base.... Dweebs. Now my father is sending me to take one of N.E.N.U.'s newly built ships to attack and capture the base the ponies find. This is a joke. My griffins can't even use their suits flight mode in space." Complained Gilda.

"That may be but it will give us Intel on the new race the ponies don't have. General." Said a Minotaur standing behind her.

"Yeah let's go and take the base." Ordered General Gilda Skytalon.

==================================

Hall's of the Star Wondering.

Megan was told she could explore freely and that the magic locks will keep her out of restricted areas. She wished it also applied to the men's room. Megan had asked witch why the bathrooms where. She found them easily following the directions. But she miss read the signs and walked into the stallions room and saw something that she won't forget. After a quick apology and rushing to the right room.... She found out that bathrooms are the same for men and women in lay out. She had some adjustments to using the pony toilets. But she couldn't get that image out of her head.... "Fuck me sideways that thing was limp and it was as thick as my arm. It was also still in its sheath. That means.... fuck if one of the stallions tried to put that in me at full mast I'd be ripped in half. And that stallion was not even the tallest I seen!." She thought to herself.

After her bathroom adventure she set out to explore again. She found the mobile suit deck the suits were so varied all had the V crest of the gundams.... but they had so many types. Suits with snake body, some with 6 arms, and the sheer variety of weapons. All beam based or heat blades.part of her drooled at the them. Then she saw the metal balls in racks. She also saw the mechanics tending to a machine. A very cranky one at that. It had its chest plate open showing metal muscle and thick cords. The suit itself kept trying to grab its chest piece only for its hand to be swatted by a black cyclops suit. Its eye flashed and the other suit tilted its head and flashed it's eyes at the other. "It's nice having veterans like skull team." Said a pony above Megan.

She jumped back to see a moth pony (Flutter ponies) they're called. "It's strange seeing a suit acting like that." Said Megan.

The spider pony chuckled "That's the suit of red team's leader. Silly thing just became self aware. All suits learn over time then one day they wake up. And start to think not just add their instinct to the pilots mind. The more time a pilot spends connected to the suit or just spend time with it the faster that happens. The Darkmoon there is Ace Crimson Moon's suit he brought you in." The Darkmoon slapped the other suit's hand again and its eye glowed. "Hehehe woo boy Long Shot sure don't like having its skin off. Can't say I blame it tho. But it's chest damaged by a accident yesterday, they do heal slowly on there own but our job is to help them heal faster and to keep them in working order. Both for their own and the pilots good."

The Darkmoon slapped the suits hand again then the Dragon head came out and stared down the other suit. "I bet the Darkmoon helps with the younger ones with that right arm."Said Megan.

"You bet she do. The only suits that can intimidate like the Darkmoon is the Princesses suits. Then again dragons are sacred of those two suits." Said the Spider pony

"Why is that?"Asked Megan.

Spider pony grinned. "Luna's Moon Kitty is massive the size of Canterlot castle it's beam claws can shred stone. But you want scary Celestia's Solarwinds is the real monster it carries six suits inside itself that act on her will. And there it is." Said the flutter pony pony pointing as many other looked out a glowing hatch. "It's in its travel mode. She must be here to see you. Or talk to Princess Twilight Sparkle." Said the spider pony.

"That thing is a suit! It looks like a assault carrier! I think I need a strong drink..." Said Megan

"The pilot's nest is down that way it's, for mobile suit pilots so they should let you in." Said the flutterpony before he walked off still upside down on the ceiling.

"Right..." Said Megan as she tests the gravity once by bouncing. "Yeah ok...."

After a few minutes she walked into the pilot's nest. The ponies looked her over then went back to there own things. All but 4 them. She could tell who 3 where from what Fluttershy told her of her friends that went out in suits the 4th must been a part of the same team as Ruby.... if the shirt was any clue. She went to the bar. "Can I get something strong... I just saw Princess Celestia's suit docking with the ship...." Said Megan.

The place went dead. The bar keep reached a hoof under the bar and brought up a bottle of whiskey. "On the house Missy you're going to need it." Said the spider pony.

Rainbow Dash stared at the alien "So that's what the aliens look like? It looks like a monkey..."

Applejack sighed, "I think it looks more like one of the mobile suits.... wonder why?"

"I'm going to make friends with it!" Shouted Pinkie before she bounced over to Megan and hugged her

"HiI'mPinkeminaDiannPiebutyoucancallmePinkiedoyoulikepartiesIloveparties-" Megan clamped her hand over Pinkie's mouth.

"Ok that's too fast try again and breath this time. Hi my name is Megan what's yours." Said Magen before letting go of Pinkie's muzzle.

"I'm Pinkie Pie, but you can call me Pinkie. Do you like parties?" Asked Pinkie in what was a (surprisingly anuff to those that knew her and of her) calm and collected manner.

"I love parties, haven't been to one in a long time." Answered Megan

"Do you like cake or cupcakes?" Asked Pinkie setting nice and polite

"Both. I mean, cupcakes are yummy but a three layer chocolate cake, is my weak spot. I had to have it at every birthday." Said Megan with big smile that Pinkie mirrored.

A guard walked in and up to Megan "The princesses want to speak with you in 30 minutes in the planning room miss alien."

Megan looked at the ponies "OK, show me and I think there's probably a form I need to fill out if you have them." Said Magen before she chugged the remaining half of the bottle. Much to the shock of the pilots several started to cheer and talk animatedly about it.

=====================================

Planning room Star wondering.

Celestia and Twilight Sat side by side. In thrones while the wall behind them had screen split in 2 with Luna and Cadence on them.

Megan walked in and blinks "Shit that's a big Alicorn, no wonder her suit looks like a ship." thought Megan. She snaps a salute. "I am Ensign Megan Williams of the Solar Republic. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said crisply and stoically.

Celestia pouted "I don't get a huggle glomp too?" Asked Celestia with a hurt tone.

Megan blushed as her jaw dropped..... "W... What?" Was all Megan could say as Twilight face hoofed.

The two princesses on the screen broke into a fit of laughter. Luna spoke first "Tia, dear sister, thee thought thou were joking when thou said to go cause tho want to hug a alien..."

The pink one Cadence snorted out. "Really aunty Tia you wanted to hug her....."

Megan cleared her throat. "Perhaps after the meeting your highness, and I want to clarify that event. I had just been captured in battle and had first expected to be crushed to death in my suit. My mind kind of went to a dark place, thinking of what might be my fate when I realized your pilots where aiming to capture pilots not the suits. So when I saw two of your um... ponies, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Lady Fluttershy, my mind latched on to the primitive non-intelligent horse and ponies my family raises on our farm. An well.. I just reacted as I did when I younger and saw new ponies on the farm... I apologize for any um... discomfort I may have caused." Said Megan.

The Princesses nodded and Twilight tanked her. "You're forgiven and you taught me and a Fluttershy a good lesson."

"Oh and what lesson is that?" Asked Celestia.

"Let the guards do their job and stand in front of me and my friends when meeting a unknown race. Megan could have easily killed me something Ace lectured in to my head earlier." Said Twilight

"A captain lecturing his Princess?"Asked Megan.

"Captain Crimson Moon pledged to serve only Equestria and my sister Luna. As such he feels it's his duty to point out our flaws. Though he is more polite and softer with Luna." Said Celestia

"That and he wants to spend his days under aunt Luna's starry mane." Said Cadence.

"So back on subject." Started Megan "Because if I don't take hold of their rains I'll hear about all there royal flirtations." thought Megan before she continues "I assume you have a few questions for me, as I do you but most where answered by Lady Fluttershy."

Twilight smiled "Yes she was very happy to talk about most of all you told her." Said Twilight

"Yes. Twilight gave me her notes to go over before this meeting... Let's go to the heart of the issue. How hard do you think it will be to clear up this issue of the incident, without a war. Dr Stargazer who tho good intent made a very big mistake and has been reassigned to the Canterlot academy of science and magic. She will be studying the suit and its interesting computer. What she did was reckless and foolhardy." Said Celestia

"And the N.E.N.U. are going to make it worst. They sent out the Red Talon to secure the alien base. The Griffin emperor's daughter General Skytalon is know to be under clawed and stubborn she will likely try to use the Minotaurs and Diamond Dogs as the main force in the attack then infiltrate with her Griffin soldiers and suits.". Said Luna

"Yes that is like them, I would prefer to not have told them of your race at all Megan till after we have a signed peace treaty. But because of the mobile weapons pact we had to reveal that we made contact and your race has mobile suits." Said Celestia.

"Then I guess this is the right choice then. Cause General Ray will probably have the base evacuated and a rear guard hold of the enemy force and then withdraw leaving the base to blow up with as many enemies in it as possible." She handed Celestia a piece of paper. "This is my official notice of defection to your ranks..."

Then all Princesses looked on in shock save for Celestia. "I accept and welcome you to the Royal Guard of Equestria. Captain Megan Williams of the Harmony guards mobile suit forces. Under the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle." Said Celestia without breaking her stoicism.

Megan bowed slightly to Twilight. "At your serves you highness." "HOLY FUCK! That's like 7 rank promotion! Shit I hope grandpa isn't rolling in his grave from this. But I can't go against my heart, and it telling me that my place is here. she though to her self.

"Tomorrow Twilight will take command of the Star Wondering and you both shall join Fluttershy and Rarity in selecting a mobile suit. Now if I can get my hug?" Said Celestia.

Megan chuckled and walked around the conference table. Standing next to Celestia puting her size in perspective she she leaned in and hugged her. She felt the princess return the hug and lay her head over her own. She felt the fur as soft as silk and she heard her sigh. It was clear she wanted to hug others more often.
