Chapter 2
The fugitive is discovered!
The sun slowly peered from the horizon, its rays finding their ways through the leaves and window of the Ponyville library. A purple unicorn rose her head happily and looked at her calendar. She was known as Twilight Sparkle, the keeper of this sanctuary of knowledge. The mare hopped out of bed and started giggling like a nerdy filly on the first day of school. Today was the day! The day when one of the rarest books Ever is delivered to her humble abode! Using her horn’s magic, Twilight brushed her mane and teeth and trotted down to the first floor and out the door to check her mail. She shook with joy, while opening the mailbox and shoving her muzzle in to dig for what she desired. For her disappointment, followed by a surprise the filly took out a letter… from Princess Celestia herself! It wasn’t that much of a wonder that the Princess wrote to her favorite student but… the message being sent as regular mail? Well there is also the possibility that Spike might have put it there, going out for fresh air. Where was her assistant anyways? The bookworm pony hadn’t seen the little guy anywhere. Not to mention that it was quite unlike him to get up even earlier than her, instead of sleeping in as he always did.
No matter! Book or no book, Spike or no Spike, the brainy unicorn had the feeling this letter was somehow important. So she galloped back to her home, not forgetting to leave a chocolate chip muffin before she left.
5 seconds after the purple librarian exited the stage, a grey derpy eyed mail-pegasus with a lime mane came into view, flying down, carrying a book shaped package. At first she bonked her empty lil’ head against the metallic box, for this filly was quite the silly ditz.
“Aaaah, my morning muffin! Aaaammm-mmfff!” The silly pony chomped on her snack, for it was a sort of a job-well-done tip.
Twilight lay on her reading pillow and opened her message. This is what it read:
“My faithful student Twilight,
I must inform you that an accident has happened here in Canterlot! My dear sister Luna summoned a creature from another world by mistake. The alien itself got out of control probably due to the shock of our foreign culture and escaped from the capital. I have already sent news to other towns and villages to be on the lookout in case it shows up somewhere. There is a high possibility it might be heading for Ponyville since this peaceful little town is the closest from where it fled. Wanted posters have already been sent! By the reports I have received, the outworlder may act violently as an act of self-defense! The creature might be dangerous so I advice you and your friends not to confront, agitate or frighten it! You can find a rough sketch of the animal in the letter.
Signed: Princess Celestia”
“Oh!” The mare put her hoof on her mouth, taken aback by the threatening-looking creature that looked like a deadly beast. It was written that it was 5’10” feet tall. Twice the size of a pony! The being was almost completely bald besides the brown mane on its head, and some peach fuzz on the upper appendages. Its face and body were similar to that of a chimp, not counting the nose that was like a round edged pyramid and the two feet on which it stood that were really bizarre in form.
“Hmmm… maybe I should send a reply to the princess to inform her that there’s nothing to worry! After all there’s nothing me and my friends can’t handle!” The librarian lifted up her quill and spread a new sheet of paper with the intention to start writing a reply but then heard a loud snoring noise coming from upstairs.
She scowled in annoyance. So … Spike had actually hidden himself somewhere on the second floor for some extra snoozles, huh? Well he was in for a very rude awakening. The mare climbed up the stairs and looked around the bedroom but there was no sign of the baby dragon. However the noise could still be heard. Where was he? That’s when Twilight noticed the upper window, that led to the upper branches was the source of the disturbance.
“SPIKE! Get down from there lazy bones! How many times do I have to tell you not to sleep on the roof?” The pony’s head popped halfway out the window.
This sudden outburst woke up something covered up by a bundle of fabric, which Miss Sparkle presumed was her reptilian assistant. She was about to stand corrected.
“UUuuh?” The bundle in its shock fell off the branch right on top of the smarty pony.
Ivan lifted himself in a sitting position, rubbing his aching head when he felt something soft. With his heart racing, the dude reached down and grasped something. It was a dark indigo colored tail with stripes of purple and pink. The college student then tugged on it a few times.
“Ow, Uuuh, Yaah! Stop pulling on my tail!” A female voice sounded accordingly from the jerks. That caused the human to jump in fear.
“What’s with me and landing on ponies all the time!” He yelled, angry at himself.
Twilight closed her eyes upon impact. She didn’t open them until the load that landed on her disappeared. Then she heard a colt’s voice. With weird emotions whirling around, the mare opened her big cute violet eyes. What the magic lady saw was not what she wanted to see.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” The little equine gathered as much air as she could in her small lungs and then let out a terrified shriek.
“AAAAAAAAAAH!” The man screamed back in his tenor voice.
They both quickly zoomed behind something right after. The filly was behind her bed curled in a ball, shivering. Of all the ponies in Equestria, this had to happen exactly to her! Twilight wasn’t prepared mentally and physically to counter whatever that… monstrous looking thing could dish out.
After a full 2 minutes she decided to peek and see where the alien was. For her shock both she and the creature had the same idea as their heads popped out of the opposite sides of the bed simultaneously. EEEK! HE’S ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BED!
“Yaaaaah!” The unicorn used her teleportation spell, reappearing below, on the living room floor.
“Enough with the noise, its giving me a headache, uh!” The human grabbed his head in pain.
“Y-you are the creature princess Celestia wrote to me about! A-and you talk!” The purple equine stuttered, now that she has taken a better overall look at the outlander.
In comparison to the sketch, he seemed far scarier in person.
“Gee, I wonder how many other alien creatures has your princess informed you about! Oh, yeah and if you haven’t noticed I’m just as puzzled that there is an Enchanted land full of talking ponies!” Ivan scowled at the sight of a similar negative reaction from yet another pony.
He could feel the animal’s alarm and that vexed and worried him. If she were to do what the college student thought she would, he’d have to subdue and tie her up. His fears being confirmed, the unicorn did exactly what the fugitive expected: she made a break for it, heading for the library’s hall and its exit, to warn the others of her kind no doubt. The dude wasn’t going to let that happen, no way, no how! He followed her halfway down the stairs, then while narrowly missing the first floor’s ceiling, did a somersault with a torque, landing right in front of the door.
“Eeeee! You can fly?” A stupefied Twilight backed off.
“No, jump good!” The man bent his neck, making a cracking sound.
Inhaling, Ivan locked his thumbs together and stretched his arms overhead. Then he lifted one of his legs as high as he could and brought it down with an arch movement.
He’s stretching? The brainy librarian thought when the shirtless being spoke again.
“Sorry but I can’t let you go! If I do, you’ll go around screaming your head off, alerting all of the town’s… ponies of my presence. And I don’t wanna be chased away again!” The alien creature spread his arms and legs, blocking the entrance of the establishment, with a determined look on his face.
“There are other ways to get out!” Miss Sparkle ran towards the stairs but the home invader jumped and dropped down right in front of her again. “How do you keep reappearing in front of me so fast without the use of magic or wings?”
“It seems you haven’t heard of what in my world we call “gymnastics”. Now, STAY WHERE YOU ARE!” The gymnast shot his hands forth in order to grab the cute little fluffy thing only for her to evaporate, catching only air.
Fearing that if the monster were to get a hold of her, who knows what he would do, Twilight slammed the door of the next room of the first floor (that’s where she ended up after teleportation). Barricading it with her body, the mare felt some grand slams coming from behind the wooden boards. Was he bucking it? The force she felt with every push made her heart flutter, racing with irrational fear, panicking that this creature might be even more violent than the Princess assumed.
Ivan knew he was only making things worse but if this inhabitant of the town were to snitch on him, there was gonna be a ruckus. He didn’t want to be dragged and put in chains. After doing multiple back kicks, the human concluded that this thing was sturdier than it seemed. Then stepping back and back and back, making a distance of 16.5 feet, he lunged forth.
On the other side, noticing that the attacks had seized, the filly did a “see-through solid objects” spell, witnessing the alien charging forth. Thinking fast, the bookworm quickly opened the door with magic. Ivan stumbled and tumbled forward and fell on his face. He was lucky that his skin didn’t peel off from the friction. With his brows, nose and chin hurting, the young man glared at the purple pony. Gasping at this menacing expression, Twilight used her telekinetic magic lifting up some books and propelled them at the now standing in its full size creature. The fighter managed to block, parry, dodge, counter punch, kick and palm strike most of the reading matters, but since they were many and flying at him from every angle, it hurt like hell every time one of them slipped through and rammed him in the gut or head.
Now truly angry Ivan lunged at the filly, letting out a ferocious battle cry. As the nerdy pony’s eyes widened, she moved aside, activating her spell on the wooden bust of a horse and throwing it at him as well. The human lost his concentration for a second leaping above the obstacle curling into a ball so he can land safely on the floor. The College student miscalculated though, hitting his curled back against the wall, the recoil causing him to fall. Not giving up, he again tried to rush and grab the pony, but only got another dose of flying into something solid. After the shock of causing another creature to severely hurt itself passed away, the librarian galloped for the exit, and was just about to run out of the library and in the open streets when she heard the alien call out behind her.
“I said you aren’t gonna get away and I mean it! NOW GET BACK HERE!” The fugitive, still wobbly from the impact, propped himself on a hand-ladder, barely standing but as hard-set as ever on capturing the pony.
Be that as it may, the ladder gave under his weight and he collapsed, landing on his back.
“Oh, my!” Twilight turned round and got closer to the fallen human.
Using her horn, the pony lifted him up and lay him on the ground. The foreigner was still conscious but judging by the current look on his face, she sensed sadness and loss of faith. The mare felt awful. This was a living thing just like her and had feelings. Just because he looked and sounded monstrous didn’t mean she had to act like she did. The being then spoke:
“What’s the point? I’m gonna get captured sooner or later so why do I keep avoiding what’s inevitable. Everyone hates me here anyways!” Ivan held in his tears back as he reflected on his situation. “GO ON! RUN OUT AND TELL EVERYONE I’M HERE!” He yelled at the equine but it didn’t move an inch.
The purple coated animal only looked at him just standing there. He read on her face an emotion that he didn’t expect to see: compassion.
“I’m sorry I attacked you earlier. I don’t know what came over me! At first I thought you were a monster here to kill me before I tell somepony you’re here but… I made a terrible misjudgment! Now I see you’re just a misunderstood creature that needs somepony to listen to him!” The filly sat down, guiltily lowering her head and ears.
“Heh, I guess I do look like that!” The college student looked at his reflection in the window nearby, propping himself on his elbows “Such a sorry state I’ve ended up in! My hair looks like a misused brush, I can smell my own body filth and my hunger has turned me into an aggressive beast! I reckon I get why you guys take me for a monster since I resemble one!” He gave a sad smile.
“Oh… so this is not actually the usual way you look?” miss Sparkle felt like an idiot for asking such a stupid rhetorical question.
The more she spent in the company of this person, the more the pony’s kind nature took over her feelings.
“You poor thing! How could the princess dub you dangerous when you were obviously just scared, confused and lost!”
“Well, it was mainly my own fault! Not only did I refuse arrest by the law ponies there but I also fought them, and committed all sorts of crimes including resorting to thievery! I’m such an id…” Ivan was cut off by the hug given to him by the neck from the understanding equine.
“Whatever you did, you had a reason didn’t you? Don’t be sad, I’m here to listen! You can tell me all about it!” Twilight grinned amiably and helped him get up, only to be lifted up herself.
The man looked her from the tip of the hind hooves to the horn. He held the critter under the fore hooves and didn’t avert his gaze from her sparkly violet eyes.
“Daaaaaaaaaaaw, you’re so cute and fluffy and adorable!” The fellow hugged her, rubbing his cheek against hers.
“O-kaay! I…love…you…too?” the bookworm agreed with whatever kind of statement for peace this was. “So what’s your name?”
“Ivan!” The outworlder briefly replied, gently lowering her down.
“I-van?” a question mark appeared over Miss Sparkle’s head, her lying down on a pillow close to her new acquaintance.
“I said Ivan! Eeeeeee-van! Is it hard to say the phoneme ee? Like the letter “e”.” The guy cocked an eyebrow.
“Sorry, a spelling error! I read a lot!” The pony smiled nervously.
“No kidding! I mean, you do live in a library after all… at least it looks like a library… are you the librarian here?” Ivan finally had the time to look around.
“Why yes, sort of! I moved here a year ago from Canterlot! I decided to stay because I made friends here!” The female librarian nodded.
“So what’s your name?” The guest requested.
“Oh, yeah! I forgot to give my own name before asking yours! Ahem… My name is Twilight Sparkle, Ponyville’s librarian, protégé of magic, and personal Apprentice of Princess Celestia!” Twilight became went over her official intruduction.
“Twilight Sparkle, really?” The human wrinkled his lips before having a short burst of laughter “Waaaahahahahahahahahaah! Does everyone here have their names taken from a cereal box? All these pony names sound so ridicu-lu-lu-louuu-huhuhuhuuuus! Lemme guess, they name everyone of you after the tattoos on your butt! Eeeeheheheheheee!” He finished up laughing.
“Ibidi-bidi-biibiiiibiiiibiii-i-dibidibiiii!… very funny!” The nerd did her mock talk.
“Hmm… Celestia, Celestia! Why do I think I have heard that name before?” The student got serious, contemplating on where he remembered that from.
“She’s the ruler of all of Equestria! The country you are in right now! She is the one responsible to raise the sun every day!” The filly shook her hoof all knowingly.
“She must be one heck of a powerful alicorn then! Wait, where do I know that term from?” Ivan made a funny grimace in his confusion.
“You know what an alicorn is? Well that is odd indeed! Where could you have possibly heard it from? I only know of three, including the two princesses Celestia and Luna!”
“Luna?” The mere mention of that name jogged the fighter’s memory “GAAAH! That’s the dark blue unicorn-Pegasus-thingy with the crescent moon tattoo on her posterior isn’t she? She was the one responsible for bringing me here! And there was this armored guy pony who mentioned that Celestia too! He also said she was the one who ordered my arrest! ” The dude’s mouth enlarged comically like a shark’s as he spouted accusations, pointing at Twilight rudely.
“Hey, that’s not a very nice thing to say! I read a letter written by princess Celestia herself! She wrote that your summoning was an accident! I don’t know why the royal guards threatened to throw you in the dungeon, pursued and engaged you in battle but I can vouch that the princess would never give such an order! She is kind and tolerant and you shouldn’t judge her like that!” Miss Sparkle retorted, indignant and feeling a tad insulted.
“I’m sorry! I just… urh! All this has left me with mixed feelings! I don’t know what to think, who to trust or what to do for that matter! Everyone is out to get me!” The human crouched, putting his arms around his knees and nervously rocking back and forth.
“That’s not true! I’m here for you and I don’t want to “get you”! Look! You can try explaining your side of the story to me.” The pony smiled softly, putting her hoof on his knee and helping her new friend climb up the stairs to the sleeping quarters.
Making him lay on her bed so he’d feel comfortable; Twilight lay down on her belly herself, near the bed.
“Okay! Just give me a second!” he took a deep breath, sighed and then began telling his tale.
Since we all read about all the pain, and frustration, and stress, and fear, and cold, and hardships our character went through, we’ll just say that Ivan spoke for about an hour, rarely interrupted only by questions from the librarian.
When the human finally finished with his perilous odyssey everything went silent for a while. Since he received no answer, the out-worlder turned his head to his listener to inspect her reaction. The purple unicorn just stood there, staring at him speechless, her eyes showing disbelief.
“It’s okay! I wasn’t expecting for you to understand! I guess I just wasted your time! Just don’t tell anyone I was here okay? I’ll be on my w…” The foreign college student shrugged, sitting up and preparing to get his messed up things and leave.
“I can’t believe it! All you have lived through from the moment you appeared in Equestria, was pain, fear, cold and misery! No, I feel inclined to make you stay here for a while!” The pony stamped, putting her hoof on the ground.
“No, I can’t! I’ll just be a burden to you! Not to mention I’ll attract a lot of trouble!” The outsider continued with his disheartened mood.
“I don’t take no for an answer! You’re staying and I’m gonna take care of you!” Twilight Sparkle covered the crouching human with her blanket to keep him warm and then lugged the stuff that was still lying around under the upper window. “What’s in this bag? Are these your possessions?” she poured out the contents.
“No!” Ivan mumbled in regret “They are things I stole from Ponyville, last night!”
“Dear Celestia! Where did you get these apples? And that pail, and sewing materials?” The deductive mare recognized the items.
“I stole them from a barn and a clothes shop!” The man lowered his head in shame.
“Those are from Sweet Apple Acres and Carousel Boutique! My friends work there… Ivan, why? Don’t you know stealing is wrong?” The equine’s look saddened, a bit disappointed.
“Of course I know it’s wrong! I already told you in my story that I stole some things from Canterlot as well! I’m a fugitive! When you’re on the run, you can’t stop by and beg from strangers for stuff! At least in my world that’s the stupidest thing to do! It will only get you caught since they’ll turn you in! I had no choice! I needed those things or I might’ve died! It was my instinct for survival that kept me going! I was gonna take these things and leave today but then I fell on you and everything went wrong!” A few tears fell were shed, using his hands to cover up his face and feelings.
“Dare, dare! I forgive you!” The bookwork patted his shoulder. “I better leave these things here then. If I hand them over to my friends they might suspect that you are here! I so hate lying, especially to friends, though!”
“Oh, please don’t tell any… pony I’m here! They’ll tell the authorities and throw me in prison!” Ivan grabbed the equine which lead to her leting out a cute surprised “eek!”.
“I doubt they’ll throw you in prison, not if princess Celestia has anything to say about it! I can prove to her that you’re not so dangerous! She will listen to me!” The nerdy girlie tried to reassure the dude.
“I CAN’T TAKE THAT RISC! NOW SWEAR YOU WON’T TELL ANYONE!” The alien shook her up.
“Waah-aah-aah-aaah! Oo-oo-ooo-kaa-aay!” The pony’s voice shook along with her body.
“Promise!” The human insisted.
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Twilight did a bunch of silly movements that went with that silly statement.
“?” was the sign that appeared above the guy’s head.
“It’s a special promise that my friend Pinkie Pie made up! It’s a sort of a never break a promise kind of promise!” she clarified.
“Oooh!” Ivan pretended to agree with a nod. “Anyways as long as I am to stay here, may I please use your shower?”
“Sorry! I… don’t have a shower!” Twi apologized for the inconvenience “I bathe myself in a small wooden tub and I doubt it could fit you! But I know one of my friends that has a big bath tub!”
“Oh, no… ooo-oh, no! This is out of the question! O-w-t, out! You’re not getting me out of this tree house!” the college student shook his finger, refusing the offer.
“Relax, I think I know how we can pull this off! There’s an invisibility spell in the new book that is suppose to arrive today in my mail! I’ll learn it quick and cast it on you! Don’t worry, I’m good at these things! We’ll go to my friend’s place, and I’ll pretend I’m the one that needs a bath and…” The purple unicorn elaborated on a plan that sounded just plain crazy.
“This isn’t gonna work! I don’t think we should go for it!” Ivan cut her off.
“Just trust me!” Twilight called out abruptly.
“Ooo! I know I’m going to regret this!” The outworlder leaned his head against the cold bedroom window, trying to make up his mind “Okay! I’m going to trust you! But you better not break your promise coz I’ll hold you to it!”
“You can count on me!” The pony lifted her hoof assertively.
After some planning and spell practicing, the leader type protagonist of the mane six made her way for her friend Pinkie’s house, along with her now enchanted invisible human companion, while carrying a saddlebag with something in it. On the way, our character observed so many multicolored ponies going on errands around town. He felt uncomfortable and worried that he might bump into one and get discovered. But everything went without a hitch and Sugarcube corner was real close by too and they entered the building after a mere 5 minutes of walking. They were just approaching the counter when a small pink mare with a magenta mane popped out from under it.
“Hi! How’s my smart pony friend! I made pie! Try it!” The filly greeted her pal by shoving a piece of blueberry pie in her mouth.
“Berry bood Phinkie!” The bookworm lisped with her snout full.
“You sound silly Twilight! Is this a new way of talking? Did you just make it up, huh, huh, huh? May I try it too? I hath cackph todayph amd yi wuz debishous amd tashty! I can’t wait to teach this to Gummy! Anyways how’ve you been? Did you come here to hang out? If you did I could throw you a quick visit party and then…” Pinkie started jabbering 3 words per sec, nonstop.
After gulping down the pastry, the purple unicorn cut her wacky prattle.
“I’m terribly sorry Pinkie but I didn’t come here to party! I feel a bit uncomfortable to be asking this of you but… may I use your bath tub again?” Miss Sparkle asked.
“Why, you don’t seem dirty?” The party girl skipped around her pal with a strange cartoony sound accompanying the action.
While the two ponies socialized, the invisible college student observed the one known as Pinkie Pie. Ivan had never seen such a loony acting pony. He thought those sort of animals only existed in cartoons but this one seemed quite real.
Some may find her annoying… The human thought But I like her! For some reason I find her even more irresistibly cuter than Twilight. Now get a hold of yourself Ivan! Just because she’s cute doesn’t mean you have to respond to the urge to pet her and brush her mane! GOD! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME! I’m turning from a tough guy into a girly sensitive animal lover! She's so cute dammit! The alien fought the urge to reach out and pet that adorable pink furry little creature. He held down his own hand but no matter how he tried, it was stronger than him. It was like he was under a spell. A very wicked spell overloaded with sweetness! Finally, the dude gave in to the need, scratching at her ears. He was invisible, she’d probably think it’s a flea biting her or something.
“Ahahahahahahaah-ahahahahah! My ear feels ticklish!” miss Pie burst into a fit of the giggles, with her ear twitching “Now my mane feels itchy!” she lifted her hoof up to locate the source of the itch.
“I think I can fix this!” The librarian quickly caught wind of a certain someone’s mischievous nature, lighted up her horn but instead of doing magic, bucked the “invisible problem” right in the shin, followed by a silent muffled curse. “So may I use your bath tub? I really need it… pleeeeeeease!” the brainy mare did a googly eyed face.
“Okay! Make sure you wash behind your ears!” The jolly trickster pointed her hoof towards the bathroom’s direction when suddenly her ears started flopping in an uncontrollable type of manner “Twitcha-twitch! I got the twitchies again!” she gasped.
“Oh, what does that one mean?” Twilight hoped it wasn’t what she expected.
“That means someone really dirty is about to enter the bathroom!” Pinkie Pie looked at her friend slightly suspiciously.
“Uuuuh, yeaaaaah! That’s me! I’m real dirty! Well if you excuse I’ll be on my way! Thanks for the permission Pinkie Pie! Don’t disturb me, okay?” The student of magic quickly but subtly retreated to the other room with a guilty smile on her face.
“Hmmmm! I know I should only expect the best of my friends! I learned that in the “Party of One” episode! But Twilight is acting strange today! She said she wants to take a shower yet she seems as clean as a whistle! But my Pinkie sense has never wronged me! I wonder what’s going on?” The fourth wall breaking filly rubbed her hoof under her snout, puzzled.
/Meanwhile in the bathroom/
“You shouldn’t do things like that Ivan! Pinkie could have noticed you!” Miss Sparkle lectured the fugitive with her back turned to him. She was washing his pants and underwear in a small tub.
“Sorry, Twi! Dunno what possessed me! I guess it was the same mysterious force that attracted my attention to you when I hugged you a while back!” the now visible Ivan sat in the bath tub scrubbing his back with a back-scrubbing brush. The tub itself wasn’t very big but it was good enough to sit in.
“So you just touched her ears and mane because you found her cute?” Twilight said agaze.
“Since you put it that way, it is possible!” The human pondered.
“Heeheeheehee! You’re funny Mr. Ivan! Your way of thinking is as irrational as my friend’s Pinkie sense! Now I feel assured that you’re a nice person!” The filly chortled with glee.
“Well you have a very rich dictionary of words, you speak in a very intelligent way for a candy colored pony.” The Bulgarian smiled kindly, returning the compliment with one of his own.
That’s when they heard Pinkie Pie call out right outside the bathroom door.
“Hey, Twilight, who are you talking to? Is it an unexpected guest? I love unexpected guests!” The cotton candy pony’s silhouette emerged behind the curtain covering the upper window of the door.
“Damn! Twilight, think of something!” The College student whispered, lowering his head, his eyes on the level of the tub’s edge.
“Uuuuh, no Pinkie! Whatever do you mean? I’m here with uuuuuh… Gummy! Yeah! I just love talking to that green tiny… alligator guy!” the brainiac lied again. She so hated lying, especially to one of her best friends but she had no choice.
“This girl has an alligator in her house? Is she nuts?” Ivan called out in an even lower tone before being shushed by Twilight.
“Oh, if that’s so then I better come in! I haven’t fed him dinner yet and it’s near dinner time! He loves cake frosting and cupcake icing and…” The door handle started turning as the wacky hostess of Sugar Cube corner entered.
In a split second several things happened. With expressions of panic, the duo of accomplices acted quickly. The purple unicorn hopped in the bathtub, forcing the outsider to take a deep breath and dive underwater, gathered lots of bubbles with her magic and splashed around so she’d wet herself even further.
Just then Pinkie entered with a typical fun-loving grin.
“Wow, you sure love to play around in the bath! What do you say I join you and Gummy?” The funny girl skipped towards her friend and the mass of bubbles.
“NO!” The librarian’s holler echoed throughout the room, bringing an awkward silence and a bewildered look from her chum.
“Gee, Twilight? What is up? I cannot understand why you are acting so weird all of a sudden! Are you hiding something? A surprise? No one hides surprises from Pinkamina Dayan Pie for long!” The slapsticky mare closed in on a cornered Twilight, turning her heard upside down for comic effect.
“Oh, look, there’s Gummy! I keep losing sight of him! He snuck up right behind you!” A stroke of luck hit the flustered nerd, as she pointed at the newly appeared toothless pet alligator.
“Oh, Gummy, there you are! You shouldn’t hide from mommy! Now I’m gonna feed you sumthin dewishious, yes I will!” The magenta maned pony hugged her beloved reptile and cradled it around “Later, TS! I must be going now! Let yourself out when you’re done!” and exited the scene.
/A couple of seconds later/
“Bwaaaaaah!” Ivan rose from the water’s surface gasping for air “Pant, pant pant! That was close! Good thing I have strong lungs!” he removed his new compadre’s tail from his face.
“We better get out quick…UUUH!” The purple magical user tried to step out of the bathing area but then felt a pair of strong slippery slick arms wrap around her so hard that she felt her ribcage closing in.
“Thank you! Did I forget to tell you how lovable and huggable you are? You are like a stuffed toy!” The human spoke with delight in his voice. He knew he was making a fool of himself, but hey, this was Ponyland, it didn’t matter here nor did he care.
“Yeah, you really gotta stop doing that! We don’t have much time!” The intelligent mare hoped out and handed her acquaintance a towel “Now if you just step out and put on this towel then…”
“Dude, are you serious! Lookit this thing! It may not even cover my lower regions! Turn around!” The guy stepped out, barely covering his private parts, whilst his pony helper covered her eyes, making a 180 degrees turn. It was convenient that his pelvis wasn’t wide for a human, since he was a tad thin. “What do we do about the fact that my pants, socks and shoes still aren’t dry and that we’re still wet?”
“I have a solution!” Miss Sparkle took out the garments out of the water.
They were full of moisture at first, but once the unicorn’s horn started glowing, the clothes, pony and human dried off in seconds.
“Cool! I have incredible luck for meeting you in the first place!” The man put on his clothes including a rough, red, hand stitched jacket he made of the fabric he stole.
After a renewal of the invisibility spell, they both ran out of Sugar cube corner. The duo was just a couple of feet away when they heard and saw Pinkie Pie call out of the 2nd floor window.
“Bye Twilight!” The ever happy filly waved “Are you sure you don wanna stay for cake? It’s only the afternoon!”
“No thanks Pinkie, I really have to go and finish my… studies!” the librarian trotted off hastily.
A minute after Twilight left, Pinkie’s eyebrows started twitching followed by shaky hooves.
Hmmm… that’s odd! The first one means somepony’s hiding something very important from me. And the second that I’m about to meet somepony new! Is Twilight hiding some stranger from me? No, I can’t accuse her! But then again maybe I should go ask Spike! Maybe he’ll know! The jolly pony started thinking serious for once, deciding to take a stroll with a final destination Carousel Boutique.
After the bathroom fiasco, Twilight Sparkle and Ivan finally settled down back at the library. After refusing to eat hay, the Bulgarian settled on the apples from his sack and some vegetables; in the future he was thinking of getting some beans, lentil and eggs in order to make something more… rich in protein. After talking some more about each other and their species and laughed, each settled down with a stack of books. The human was reading up on the basics of this new world known as Equestria, checking out pieces such as “The social life of today’s Equestrian ponies”, “Nobility and Royalty”, “Real mythological creatures”, “Classification of pony kind”. After a couple of hours though, the info got too tedious for Ivan so he lay down for a bit and looked at the blue sky from the balcony window. The dude started thinking a lot about all sorts of important stuff.
“Twilight!” he called out.
“Yes?”
“What’s gonna happen to me?”
“I don’t know! I can’t call nopony for help, I can’t just let you roam around in all sorts of dangerous forests until you die, and I can’t lie and keep you a secret forever! I just can’t think of anything! I can just let you stay here, hide you from my assistant Spike until we figure something out!”
“Isn’t there a better way to do this?” The outworlder kept that serious pensive expression.
“Why so serious?” A sugary sweet familiar voice asked. Then a pair of pink animal lips kissed him on the cheek.
“Oooooh, yeeeeeew! Just thinking how to get out of this situation without you or anypony else in Ponyville ever finding out so I can go home!” Ivan blushed from the smooch, unwittingly continuing his blabbing to the pink filly from the candy shop, which was lying right next to him, her head beside his.
“PINKIE PIIIIIE!” The outlander and librarian yelled together, finally noticing who had just dropped by unexpectedly.
“Th-that’s the scary beast from the wanted poster!” another voice caught the twosome’s attention. It was a talking puple-green baby dragon, holding a creased sheet of paper with a picture on it.
“Great Googly Moogly! I’m in for another hell of trouble!” The human pressed his hands against his cheeks like Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone for dramatic effect.
“It seems that no matter how cautious, Twilight and Ivan were unable to escape Pinkie’s never failing Pinkie sense!” The narrator from the beginning of the chapter started cooking up the climax “with the number of Ponyvillians that know about Ivan’s presence increasing, things might take another turn! What will happen to our human protagonist and will he be able to return to his world or be captured by the ponies? Find out on the next hilarious episode of RUNNING AROUND WITH PONIIIIIIIIIES!”
All of a sudden Vegeta from the Dragon Ball Zee series lands and starts scolding the storyteller.
“You blithering idiot! Where have you been? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you to start the next episode of Dragon Ball Z? Either you get your lazy carcass to the narrator booth and do your job or I fire my Galick gun upon you and wipe you out of existence!” the Prince of all Sayans yelled at the guy, tensing up his muscles.
“Sorry, Vegeta! This was just a favor I had to do for a fan! He paid tribute to the show and everything!” the small dude made up all sorts of excuses.
“Shut up and come with me!” Vegeta took the narrator by the collar and flew off.
