Chapter 1 a lost Filly
Chapter 1: a lost Filly
It was a nice Summer Day. It was late evening. I decided to wear a blue suit with red tie and a blue Hat. Of course I got some awards in the war. It was the Iron Cross and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Despite my past I wear them proudly. On my Way home it began to rain.
I liked when it was raining. I don’t know why even as a child I liked Rain. I walked past an alley when I heard crying and sobbing from it. I turned in the alley and called, “Hello, is there someone?”
I didn’t get a response but crying and sobbing so I investigate it. I could saw something but I could not see what it was. When I got closer I was shocked. I saw a little Foal with a star as a tattoo, violet eyes purple coat, and an indigo purple pink Mane. She was holding a plush Donkey. What was getting me shocked was that is has a horn. A Unicorn? I could not believe my Eyes. The Fact that the Foal was crying and her eyes swollen from this proved that is was real. When the Foal saw me it panicked immediately.
“ple-ple, please don’t hurt me.” It cries surprisingly in German.
It broke my Heart to saw it scared like that so I decided to do the right thing.
I kneeled down to her and spoke to her, "I won’t hurt you, it’s raining and you are freezing, come with me sweetheart, you can sleep at my house."
Before she could say anything, there was a loud Thunder causing the Filly to cry harder. She was lost and scared of the thunderstorm. I’m sometimes scared of thunderstorms too because they reminded me of the explosions back in the War. “Shh, its okay, I’m here for you.” I tried to comfort her.
“But Sir, I don’t want to get your Suit wet." She replied shivering from the cold.
“My Suit? It’s only water it dry’s anyway. I don’t want that you get a cold, your safety is more important to me than my Suit,” I said with a comforting smile, picking her gently up. My house was just a couple blocks away.
When we arrived at my house, I heard a, “Thank you” from her.
"There’s no need to thank me sweetheart, I always help Children in need. But first let’s get you dry, shall we?” She was nodding still shivering but she was not scared anymore. I put her down to get a towel from the bathroom.
When I was drying her it occurred to me that I had not introduced myself yet. “I almost forgot, my Name is Jessie Günther, but most people call me with my nickname James."
”Nice to meet you Mr. Günther, my Name is Twilight Sparkle and this is Smarty Pants,” She pointed to her plush with her right foreleg.
I couldn’t help but smile. “That a cute Name for a Plush, Twilight," I answered. “By the way, are you Hungry?” A growl from her stomach was the answer. “I take this as a yes. How about a warm tomato soup and hot chocolate?”
“I love Hot chocolate!” Twilight exclaimed with enthusiasm.
”Alright then.” I said. I walked in the kitchen to make the soup and the chocolate. When both were finished, I called, “Twilight, Soup is ready!" Just when I put both Things on the table in the dining room. Twilight was standing right in the doorway. I helped her on the chair and she putted Smarty Pants on a second Chair with magic? I will ask her when she is finished. She drank the chocolate with great pleasure, the Soup was no exception. After she finished both, I putted the cup and the bowl in the sink.
”Thank you very much, Jessie, I needed that.”
“You’re welcome Twilight. By the way, did I see things or did your horn glow to put Smarty Pants on the Chair?”
“No Jessie, where I’m coming from all Unicorns can use Magic.” Twilight said to me.
“Interesting. I know it hurts but how did you end in that alley? Your Family will be worried.” After these words came out my month, her ears dropped.
“Well, I was trying out a new spell but it overloaded before I could do anything and I fell unconscious. After that, I wake up in the Alley with Smarty Pants.”
My heart broke one more time after I heard this. She was in a foreign World without Family. “Do you want to tell me more about your World?” I got a “Squee” as answer.
“Of Course James, it’s only fair that you know more about me and my Home. Well I’m from Equestria were Earth, Pegasi and Unicorn Ponies life together in harmony. I was born in Canterlot, the Capital of Equestria. I life with my Parents, my bbbff Shining Armor and my Foal sitter Cadence.”
“Bbbff?” I asked.
“That means ‘Big Brother Best Friend forever.’ Oh and if you wondering, the Star on my Flank is my Cutie Mark which represents my special Talent which is magic."
“Very interesting Twilight.”
“I’m not finished yet; the ruler of Equestria is Princess Celestia, an Alicorn which controls the Sun. She also owns the school for gifted Unicorns, were I was in before I landed here.” I was speechless, after I heard that the Princess controls the Sun. How is that possible? Twilight noticed my behavior.
“Jessie, is something wrong?” She asked.
“Everything is alright, Twilight, it’s just on Earth the Sun and the Moon lowers and rise on its own."
“I’m on the Earth, the planet where the Humans life?” Twilight asked with surprise and excitement in her voice.
“Yes you are, how did you know that?”
“Well, Jessie, I love to read, back in Equestria, I read a book about humans. It is fascinating what kind of technology they had deployed over the years but it shocked me also that they also had so many wars. In Equestria we had only one war but it was 1000 of years ago." She said with a sad tone.
“Well Twilight, it is true about the wars but we have one thing in common.”
"And that is Jessie?”
“Reading. I like reading as much as you but I read about history and technology”
“Really Jessie?” I nodded.
“By the way, are you a veteran?” She asked and pointed to a number of pictures in the living room and then to the two crosses I was wearing.
“Yes I’m a veteran, Twilight. I served in two World Wars. The First World War, also known the Great War, started 1914. I was a Medic but was deployed as a sniper later in the war," I pointed to the first picture that showed me in my Imperial German Army uniform with my Gewehr 98. “I did never leave a comrade behind and for that I earned great respect and my first award the iron cross. It was given to Soldiers with great braveness. But I lost it when I tried to save a friend”. I pointed to the second picture what was a group photo of me and my comrades.
“In the War when I was wounded, I met my future wife,” The third picture showed our wedding, “We married after the war was over in 1918. Germany lost the War but is not really true.”
Twilight said, "Yes, I read that Germany was forced to sign a contract.”
“Yes, that’s right the contract of Versailles. The post war Years were difficult because of the economic problems in 1923 and 1929 but my wife and I managed to get over it. 1939 the Second World War started,” I didn’t want to go too deep in the dark history of the Second World War, so I explained only what she wanted to hear, “This time, I was a pilot. A Stuka pilot to be exact,” The fourth picture showed me in my pilot uniform, “In the Time between 1939 and 1941, I earned the Iron cross again. I was wounded again in 1943 and was sent home. My Wife had wonderful News: She was Pregnant!” Twilight had a big smile on her face when she heard this. “Our Son was born in September 1943.”
The fifth Picture showed my wife, our newborn Son in Lena’s arms and me, this time in a Heer Uniform instead of a Luftwaffe uniform. The sixth and last picture was again a group photo that was taken on the western front.
“Jessie, I don’t want to interrupt you but why are you wearing a different uniform on the last two pictures?” Twilight asked confused.
“Did nothing stand in your book that the Luftwaffe was defeated?” I asked her.
“Oh yes, I totally forget this.” was her answer.
“Because of this, I was in the Heer again where I earned the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Only the best and braves Soldiers could earn this award. It was also one of the highest awards you could get, back in the third Reich. The last War year, 1945 was the worst year I had ever in my entire Life.” I said with a sad tone.
“What happened, Jessie?” asked Twilight with an innocent Voice that only a Child could have.
“My family died.” I said trying not to break down in front her.
"I’m so sorry Jessie, please, please, don’t hate me," Twilight begged with a guilty tone in her Voice close to crying. How could she think that I would hate her for asking what happen to my Family? “Twilight,” I said while petting her Mane, “Why should I hate you, you couldn’t knew that.”
"Jessie? Can I ask you something?” asked Twilight but with a calmed Voice.
“Sure shoot.”
“I know what a pilot is but what is a Stuka and a Sniper? And how did you get your Name? Jessie is an American Name not a German one.” “That’s easy explained. A Sniper is a Soldier equipped with a Rifle with a scope on it to fight enemies over a long distance.
And a Stuka is a plane that is made for diving but back in the war Germany had a plane called Ju 87 that was designed to dive-bombing the Enemy. Because of the high G-Force the pilot could pass out so a dive automatic was created to make it easier for the pilot to recover after diving. And it had a Siren that amplified the Howl when diving. This created a scary and demoralizing sound to the enemy. When we were diving, it looked like this,” I simulated a diving attack and follow recover with my right hand, “And my Name? Well Twilight, I was born in the USA.
My Mother was German and a Nurse. My Father was a Soldier and American. He named me after the famous Cowboy Jesse James. He was famous for drawing his revolver faster than everybody else. I was also famous for drawing my sidearm very fast when I had to. That’s also how I get my nickname. I had also a little Brother called John but he was reported missing in World War 1. He was never found.” Twilight had a fascinated look on her Face but it changed to a sad expression when I mentioned my brother.
“Twilight you don’t have to be…”
"No it’s not that, I just miss my brother.” She replied sobbing. Again I comforted her.
“Shh, I’m sure your family will find you Twilight."
”Rel- Really?” She asked between sobs.
“Of course. And until then, you can stay with me, no matter how long it’s going to take.”
“But I do not want to cause you any problems.” She spoke to me.
“Twilight, you could not survive on your own. Plus after 15 Years of living alone, I would be glad about having some company.” She hugged me after I said this.
“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, James!” She cried out happy. Then I remembered that her talent was magic and I did know an old magical trick.
“Hey, do you want to see a magical Trick?” I asked her.
“But I read that humans cannot use magic.”
“To be honest, we are working with tricks but do you want to see it or not?”
“Yes Please.” She said.
“Ok watch,” I replied. I pullet a DM out of my Pocket with my right hand and closed it, “Where is the coin?” she choose my right hand. “Nein.” I said and opened my now empty right hand.
“Then it can be only your left hand!” She spoke with a triumphant tone.
“Tut mir leid, ist leider auch falsch.” I said when I revealed my empty left hand. Twilight gasped.
“Impossible! It can’t be gone!”
“It isn’t gone.” I revealed the coin behind her ear.” Voila! It was the entire time behind your Ear.”
“Amazing, how did you do it, James?” I noticed that she used my nickname a second time.
“The magicians have one rule: Never reveal your secrets.”
“Makes sense. Oh, my brother has also a nickname for me, James.”
I asked curious, “How is your Nickname?”
"Twily,” Twilight responded.
”Twily, a cute nickname I must admit.”
“Thanks. James is also not bad." She countered, “Does it bother you if I call you with your nickname, Jessie?”
“Not at all, Twilight. Does it bother you when I call you Twily?”
“No, me neither, James.”
“Ok, do you want to tell me more about your brother, Twily?”
She nodded with a “Squee”. “Well, my brother is a Unicorn with white coat, blue eyes like you, and a blue mane which is a mix between dark and light. He has a Shield as a Cutie Mark. He has got it when he protected me against some bullies,” She explained, “He wants also to be a royal guard. They are not only Soldiers like you but are also Princess Celestia’s bodyguards,” She added.
“Well Twily, I wish him Good luck with that.”
“Should I tell you about my Foal sitter too, James?”
“Of Course why not.”
“Princess Cadence is the best Foal sitter ever. She beautiful, caring and kind. She is an Alicorn like princess Celestia. She has purple eyes, Rosa coat and a violet Mane with Rosa and gold streaks. Her Cutie Mark is a crystal heart because she can spread love.” She explained me. She also created a special greeting routine with me do you want to see it?”
“Yes, please, Twily.” I said.
“Ok,” She took a deep breath, “Sunshine Sunshine ladybugs awake clap your hoofs and do the shake."
After she showed me her greeting routine my Heart melted. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen in my entire Life. “Do you like it?” She asked.
I couldn’t help but smile while saying, “I loved it.” That caused her to blush.
“I’m glad that you liked it.”
For the rest of the evening we had a happy conversation. I told her how I was able to speak fluent German and English with no accent at all because of my mother and how Germany was divided after the War and how west and east Germany were created, which confused her why the Winners of the Second World war could not get well together. I did know the Reason, but I just said to her that politic is sometimes complicated. She told me about the entrance examination she had to pass to get into the school and about Spike her baby dragon she hatched and raised.
She also told me that in Equestria, the ponies said everypony or somepony instead of everybody or somebody. I was never so happy in life before since the birth of my Son! I was about to think what we could do tomorrow, when the pendulum clock was ringing and interrupting my thoughts.
Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong.
Already nine-o’clock? Times go fast. Twilight let out a large Yawn. She looked very tired. “Looks like somepony is tired, you should catch some sleep. It was an exhausting Day for you Twily. You can sleep in the bed in the Guest room. I let the Door to my bedroom open if you should need me.”
”Alright James, but before you go, can your sing me a lullaby? My mother always singed a lullaby for me.” She asked.
“Of Course Twilight, how could I refuse? Here’s a lullaby that my mother had sung to me when I was young.” I putted her in the bed, Smarty Pants right beside her in her arms. I cleared my throat and began to sing.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the World so High
Like a Diamond in the Sky
When the blazing Sun is gone
When there nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle twinkle all the night
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your little spark
He could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so
When the blazing Sun is gone
When there nothing shines upon
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle twinkle little star
After I was finished singing, she was fallen asleep peacefully. I kissed her on the forehead. ”Goodnight my little Twily sweet Dreams.” I said quiet to her before I went into my own bed. Twinkle twinkle little star fits her so much. Her Cutie Mark reminds me of this Lullaby. But for now I should rest. We have a big Day tomorrow. I thought before I fell asleep.

Need an editor and ponies know to much about humanity.
a little fast as well, slow it down a bit and give a more realistic reaction to the presence of Twilight.
7584957 Thanks for the tip, do you know wher I can find one? And about humanity, it will be explained in the later chapters
7585510 I will do my best, the reaction to Twilight I used was the most realistic I could get from my brain. Any advice how I could it make more realistic? And thanks for tracking! I really appreciate it!
7585918 my advice for a more realistic reaction to Twilight would be some shock and disbelief for the solder and a little fear and awe on Twilights part as well as curiosity.
7585914
This group can help.
https://www.fimfiction.net/group/97/looking-for-editors

7586469 Thanks i will edit that right away

Ok cool well nope u already answered that well darn (kicks dirt) well at least she can dream of Nercromorphs in the future
No pants? LOL
"Bi-Bi, Bitte tu mir nicht weh."
Because there's no Comma, it says that he forgot his name and what people usually call him LOL
Weeding? dang, yard work in such a beautiful story? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? XD LOL
8144034 He wears pants, I just didn't thought of writing it back then. Commas are my weakness, so thanks for pointing that out, I take any help I can get to improve my stories. For Twilight speaking German, the rules say the stories must be in English, that's way I wrote it like this. Plus my non-german speakung readers can understand what she is saying. The third picture shows James's weeding with his wife, so what do you mean with yard work, you confuse me.
Aw, a good way for James and Twily to spend some time to start off their bond. Look forward to seeing where it goes from here!

Glad to hear you like it
For some reason, I said this in a Russian accent because of the grammar.
Our protagonist is such a sweetheart.

10521256
Yes, he's very caring at heart with kids
Never read that before, but needless to say, for your first story, despite the typos, it's very interesting. I'll be sure to continue reading it when I get the chance. :)
