I guess I had dozed off in the warm sun. As I opened my eyes again, a purple unicorn was studying my appearance.
"Wow, you have really... ", she began.
"Huge udders? Yes, I know.", I said a bit annoyed and got into a sitting position.
"... beautiful eyes, small but beauti... wait what?", she finished confused.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean it like that.", I tried to justify myself very embarrassed. "It's just... a lot of times..."
"Rainbow Dash?", she asked.
I just nodded.
"Well I can see that they are quite big compared to us, but I have no frame of reference for your kind.", she said in a surprisingly analytical way.
Silence between us...
"Anyway... Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle.", she offered me her hoof.
I shook it, happy to have a way out of that situation. "I heard you are an expert in magic."
"Well, I know a few spells and learned about it since I was little.", she seemed a bit flattered. "But there is still so much I don't know."
She sat down in the Grass before me. "You seem to be a fascinating and intelligent creature. Rainbow was gushing about you. I heard you want information about our world... I would give you all the information you want, in exchange you will tell me everything about you and your kind. Does that sound fair to you?", she looked at me, head crooked to the side and smiling.
This offer made my mission so much easier. "Yes, I gladly accept."
"Of course I have to inform Princess Celestia first to get her approval, but I am sure she will love the idea."
I was pretty sure I remembered that name... "The pony who controls the SUN?"
"You already heard of her, great. Don't worry, she is really nice, she wouldn't hurt anyone."
A pony who moved a f***ing celestial body, I wasn't ok with someone having this much power meeting me.
I guess my feelings had been very visible. Twilight laid a hoof on my hand. "I promise you, she won't hurt you. The worst outcome I could imagine is her ordering you to leave this world. But I think she will be curious about your kind too."
To my surprise, she was able to calm me down. I took a few breaths...
"I'm quite curious.", she said. "How did you manage to come to this world?"
"We were able to create a portal so we could connect with any point in the universe... or in any other dimension too, we are not sure about that yet."
"What kind of spell did you use to make that happen?", she asked, and somehow a notepad and quill appeared, levitating next to her.
"None, we don't have magic in our world."
Notepad and quill dropped to the ground. "How can it be possible to create a portal without any magic? That's impossible!" She looked at me as if I was insane.
"Magic is equally impossible in my world, so we had to be very creative with building machines instead. It's extremely complicated. I think we should talk about something else until you know the basics of it."
"Right, there is so much else we can learn from each other... Say goodbye to Fluttershy. I live inside a library, we can do so much more there. You can stay in the guest room."
Well, it made sense, but I didn't like how she just decided without asking me. Since she promised me huge amounts of knowledge, I decided to let it slide.
I searched for Fluttershy and found her on the other side of her house feeding squirrels. I decided just to wait until she finished, I didn't want to scare her or the squirrels.
When she finally turned around to walk back to her house, she spotted me and smiled. "How did your talk with Twilight go?", she asked while she came closer.
"Quite good, she invited me to the library to learn and said I could stay in her guest room."
"Oh... that's nice.", she said a bit gloomy.
"What is it?", I asked as I noticed her change in mood.
She looked to the ground. "It was quite nice to have somepony around the house to talk to, aside from my animals."
I went down on my knee to look directly in her face. "Well, I was going to visit you on my ways to the portal anyway, if this is okay for you."
"Of course, that would make me very happy.", she already started to smile again.
"But you should consider inviting Rainbow to a slumber party now and again. You could have just as much fun as we three had together.", I told her and brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"It would be far too boring for Dashie to spend her time with me...", she whispered.
"That's not true, you are very interesting and funny, plus I'm sure Dashie isn't hyper all the time. Please invite her, okay."
She giggled. "You wouldn't call Dashie hyper if you had met Pinkie Pie yet."
I tried to remember the pictures she had shown me. "The pink one with the puffy hair? Into parties?"
She nodded. "Well, I will try to ask Dashie, maybe she is interested..."
"I'm sure she would love to spend some time with you... and you have at least one thing she is very interested in.", I said and grinned at her.
"What would that...", she started to blush furiously when she understood my innuendo and moved a bit so her udders weren't in plain view for me anymore. Only a few days later after I had met more ponies I realized she had a pretty big pair for a pony.
"Stop that.", she whispered and playfully hit me with her hoof.
I stood up again and waved goodbye to her. "I promise I will visit you soon."
"Bye.", she said smiling.
To my surprise, Twilight was standing next to the cottage looking at us.
"It's interesting you make friends so fast.", she told me when I got near her. "Friendship is an important and powerful thing in this world."
"Back in my world I never had many friends and hadn't been popular in school.", I pondered. "But the ponies I met here so far are so welcoming and lovable, of course I want to be friends with them. But including you, I only met three ponies, so there are clearly not enough data points to verify your theory."
Twilight's face showed pure glee. "You know statistics?!"
I was surprised from this sudden expression of happiness. "Sure, it's part of my training as a scientist."
She jumped around me. "Oh this will be so much fun, all the math we can do together."
She kept on jumping around me while I packed my things and we started to make our way to her library.
7731106 like shooting it on the least frightening creature ever?
looks good so far, hope I see more.
7731212 I'm in the middle to the next chapter, I hope to stick to my two chapters a week plan. This will be my longest story anyway, Twilight only first appears 8000 words in. :-)
I like it lol this might get a fav later on I'm curious about this romance tag as far as i can tell she's been neutral to all the girls so far it's refreshing to see a build before they start liking someone instead of straight forward "your amazingly beautiful u too" dating story. I love the cheese of the story and I'm excited to see where it goes
And one more thing I noticed some mistakes but nothing to big, just spelling here and there and one or two grammatical errors, but all and all if you can add to two u can read it... Great Job
7731465 well, I did my best to make it sound boring. A 96% change to find nothing at all in the next 100 years. I hope I get some credit for not using the "got-hit-by-lightning-wake-up-in-equestria" method ;-)
7731498 Thanks a lot for all these nice words. It's hard for me as an non-native speaker to catch all errors. I re-read all my stories every two months and I always find new misspellings, I swear they are multiplying. I would be very happy if you could tell me my errors.
7731626
As for u being a non native English speaker you right very well lol what is ur natural language if u don't mind me asking?and I will try I normally don't I notice them and people are usually very quick to tell you I am not a expert using this comment box yet but I will try if I can
7731661 other guy lol but yes he's right and that may help lol
7731666 your right, I have to correct that. I'm german.
7731465 you know, your right, I should add at least a few guards and a key card reader or eye scanner. I will do that, thanks.
7731676
Nice lol second German brony I met on here lol I proofread for him and I notice the same problem it's in translation and words are confusing in English even more so in American English lol but ur doing well and u get props in my book for the whole adding a bunch of filler before you hit that romance tag (Rainbow doesn't count lust isn't love lol) and that lightning comment was so true
7731734 who could with Fluttershy involved :-)
7731698 well, I decided this time to give the story all the time it needs. I won't rush it, if that means it will become twice or ten times as big as my previous stories, so be it. I have written an overarching plot for the first half of the story a few days ago and not even a single point of it is checked of yet :-) The first plot point will be in the chapter after the one I am writing now.
I know you are not from America, but I agree you write very well for not being a native here.
Also I think horses and ponies have teats instead of udders. Udders are the mammaries of a cow.
Love the story!! More chapters soon!!
Whoever dislikes this story can go get dropped in the Pegasus Device.....
*Follows and Favs this story and gives it a thumbs up*
7731821 I actually did some research on that... not the rule 34 & E621 research, I mean I searched for diagrams and read about sicknesses horses could get. I found both, things like "you have to apply the cream to the horses udder" as well as texts about "teats". I even ask one of my prereaders about it. Maybe we should do a poll :-) I think it's fine as long as they talk about Stella's breasts, since they have cows in their world too and I could see them comparing them to udders for that reason but I REALLY want to know what word is right for ponies. Or are teats just the nipples on their udders. Anyone good in biology here?
7731830 Actually I was surprised not to get a dislike much earlier. It's not normal to get 27 likes in a row. It's just not possible to have everyone like a story, tastes are different. But thanks for your kind words.
7731893 I took biology in highschool and I could have sworn they called them teats
7731907 here they call them udders How to clean a mare's female parts and I get more Google hits for "Horse udders" then "horse teats"... the things I do "for science" ;-) I let it be udders until we know for sure.
7731927 gotcha
Purple smart being adorkable
