Levi is a nice guy, he's done all he can to help the people in his life. The only problem is, those people don't exactly give him the same thing. Which is why a certain white Alicorn helps him with his life.

I lived a happy life, growing up in Rehoboth. I made a few friends, made some enemies of course. I think the worst time of my life, I would have to say it was during middle school. You all know how it is. Kids are immature and pick on you for some stupid reason or a small trait about you. I actually had two traits that kids took advantage of... 1. I was a shy kid... It was hard for me to start conversations with someone that I didn't know. Hell, it's hard for me to stay in the same room as someone for too long. 2. I'm too nice... I know that you you're thinking that it's impossible to be too nice but... It is. And being too nice is what hurt me both in middle school and high school.
...
Ok... Maybe I lied about middle school being worse than high school. The students in my high school? Most of them were the same as they were in middle school. The only difference was that the bullying only got worse and worse, day by day. I swear, the day I graduated from that god awful school, I can guarantee that I cheered louder than most of the students there. After high school, I decided to take a break from school. A year off before going to college. I plan on taking Cyber Security. Let's face it. Hacking has become simple enough that even a child can do it. It's sad, but it's also true. The only thing I'm worrying about now is the money to pay it off. I thank god that I was able to get a job a BJ's Wholesale club. Especially considering how hard it is to find a job these days. I had been working there for 8 months, so time was ticking fast on my year long vacation. Everyday at BJ's it was the same thing: scan a members card, and start scanning their items. Scan their card, scan their items. I can't really complain though. $10.20 an hour makes it worth it.
After work, I'd usually drive home just to go on skype... But... Things weren't exactly the same after a few incidents. Anyways, one day when I went on Skype, I got this random request from someone. The name of the account was sun.princess1000. Of course I assumed at the time that it was a brony/pegasister, so I just shrugged it off and accepted the request. After accepting the request, the name on the account appeared as Princess Celestia. I roll my eyes confirming my suspicions and just start talking to one of my friends. Until of course 'Princess Celestia' sent me a simple "hello".
I sighed with a little worry considering this could probably be some creepy fan of my youtube videos. I just responded to her with a simple "how are you?"
"I am doing well." She responded. "It's nice to officially meet you, Levi."
...
Um... I never put my name on my skype... It's official, this has to be a fan. I thought to myself slowly typing back. "So, I'm guessing you like my videos?"
"Oh, no I've never seen your videos."
...huh? "Then how do you know about me?" I typed back.
"I've been watching you for quite some time Levi. The way you suffered... The hardships you faced both at DR and online."
...
Ok, this just went from creepy to down right stalkerish! I was about to block this person from my contacts until...
"Do you really want to block someone who wants to be your friend?..." She replied.
I froze before clicking 'block'. "Oh please don't tell me I'm being hacked right now..." I said to myself out loud.
"You are not being hacked right now Levi." She typed.
"What the!?" I exclaimed falling back from my chair.
I scrambled picking myself back up and looking at the screen. The first thing I saw was "are you alright!?"
H-how does she know all this!?... My web cam!! I quickly grabbed a roll of duck tape and covered my internal webcam on my laptop. When I looked back at her, her chat just said "..." Ha! Try to spy on me now!
"I was never trying to spy on you! I'm trying to help you!" She typed back angrily.
"Ok, who the hell are you?"
"It doesn't show my name? My name is Celestia... I thought I set this up correctly. Although I know your name is not 'UnleashedTwilight' or 'SuperHTFFan'." She paused before continuing. "So why do you have these names?"
"Uh..." Was all I typed for a second. "Hold on a second, you just told me your name is Celestia?"
"That is correct."
"That's just crazy!"
"..."
"Look, don't '...' Me, Celestia doesn't exist. She's just part of some tv show that little girls and bronies/pegasisters watch."
"I suppose the only way to convince you is by proof. Perhaps you'd like to do a video call?"
I paused for a moment a little taken back by her response. She wants to do a video call...? Is she in a costume or is she really serious about this?? "Why don't I hear your voice first...?" I typed a little slower than before.
"Very well." She simply typed in response. Not a second later she sent me a voice call. I have to admit; I was nervous. I mean, this was just some stranger. How would she know who I am? I took a deep breath and clicked on the answer button. At first I was waiting for her to respond first... She said nothing.
"You're not doing a really good job proving yourself right now." I say aloud with a tone of irritation.
"Oh I thought you were going to speak first." She said aloud as well sounding EXACTLY like Celestia. I stared at the computer with a blank facial expression. "Hello? Are you still there?" She asked.
"Y-yeah... I'm still here." Sort of!! "If you're really Celestia, then how are you on a computer?"
"Equestria is no stranger to Earth's technology. Earth is actually where we studied it from."
"We?"
"Me and my sister."
"So, wait... No other pony knows about Earth?"
"No, not even my student who recently became a princess, nor Cadence."
"Ok ok. There's one last piece of evidence that I need to see... And I think you know what it is."
"You want me to switch this to a video call."
"Exactly." I said. "Because people do have voice changers after all and could try to steal my--..." I froze in mid sentence looking at my screen as she had already switched to her web cam. I held my mouth wide open, agape as the white alicorn with flowing colorful mane simply smiled at me. "Y...you... It really is you..." I could barely let out any words. "W-why? Why did you come to me?" I asked as I switched myself to camera as well.
"As I told you, I've been watching you. I've been looking over all the Earth... But you. You're very different from a lot of human beings. All the humans of the Earth are just cruel and dishonest. When I look at them I can't help but feel disgust. But when I look at you I see the heart of someone kind and generous. A kind and generous man who has been hurt by this world." She smiled at me. "I would like to invite you to visit my castle... As Equestria's first human being."
"Wait... What!?" I exclaimed caught off guard.
"You aren't happy to hear this?" Celestia tilted her head in confusion. "I thought you always wanted this."
"Yes but, I never thought that my wish would ever actually come true..."
"You wished that you could live in Equestria... A different life. That is something you have to think hard about." She smiled warmly at me. "Which is why I'm merely asking you to visit. It will help you with that choice. You can choose to return after your visit if you'd like."
I looked down and sighed. "Ok, I get that but what do I tell my parents? A magical alicorn wants me to visit a whole new world with magic and flying ponies?"
Celestia just smiled. "Just say... A friend is inviting me to visit her home. Technically, you aren't lying to them at all."
"Alright, well... How would you pick me up? I don't exactly drive. Plus if my mom asks where you live, I won't know what to say then."
"You have another friend don't you?"
"Yeah, my friend Larry..."
"Well just ask her to drop you off there." She paused. "I promise, everything will be alright. You'll see."
"Alright... I'll see you there then."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I explained to my mom the details of me going to my friends home, and of course she had no problem with it. She knew Larry pretty well after all. So after 20 minutes of getting dressed, we both went into the car. She was in the passenger seat, and I drove. I know I told Celestia that I didn't drive but when I said that, I meant it couldn't go on my own. After seven minutes of driving, I arrived at my friend Larry's house. I waved my mom goodbye as she drove off and I just waited. Waited for someone to take me. I even brought a backpack with my laptop and 3ds was in my pocket. I even brought my ps4 to show her because I didn't think that ponies would have video game systems. ... Unless the whole Button Mash thing was true. Eh, whatever. It's probably a more advanced system than they have. I didn't worry too much about how she could hold a controller, after all, she has magic. As I was lost in thought, thinking of the things we might do, I suddenly felt my hand feel light... Wait... I looked at my hand and... It was disappearing! I wasn't waiting for someone, I was waiting for something to happen! I knew that this had to be Celestia's work so I just sat there and let it happen. After a few minutes, my whole body vanished from my friend's driveway and then reappeared, along with all of my stuff in a large white room with a long red carpet below me. I looked around in awe until I was met with two royal faces that I believed I would never meet in my entire life.
Both Celestia and Luna both smiled at me with Celestia saying. "Thank you for coming. We are so happy that you could visit."
"It's here... It's all here." I let out as I practically spun around looking at the room I was in.
Celestia giggled a bit. "Relax Levi before you fall over." She walked to me slowly. "I'd like to get to know you personally. I want to know why not all humans are kind to one another like you are with others."
I huffed. "That's an easy one: earth is a living nightmare. Except in this case the nightmare doesn't end."
"I do not think I understand." Luna interrupted. "Is your world really that terrible?"
"I thought you both watched over it." I said to Luna.
"Mostly my sister." Luna rolled her eyes. "For some reason she has some sort of fascination towards humankind."
"Yes... And as I was saying... I still wonder why you are so different." Celestia repeated herself.
"Every human being is raised differently I guess." I finally answered directly. "It's not exactly perfect here either though, right?"
"Well yes, but ponies in Equestria are not like the humans on Earth. They don't steal or murder, and from I've seen, that happens a lot on Earth."
"Are you kidding? It happens daily..." I paused for a moment. "Is there anypony else who knows about me?"
"Just my sister and I" Celestia replied. "However, there are a few ponies I'd like you to meet."
"Who?"
"Twilight and her friends of course." Celestia smiled. "If you choose to stay you should at least get to know them a little bit."
"Well uh... I actually know quite a bit about them." I smiled sheepishly.
"Oh that's right, it's them that needs to know more about you." Celestia giggled.
"Sister... How can you be so calm about this?" Luna cut her off. "We've never done anything like this before. What if he causes a panic between the other citizens?"
"That is why I will personally send him to Twilight first without any detection from other ponies."
"You mean teleport me?" I asked.
Celestia smiled. "Exactly. But it is late so for now why don't you stay for the night?"
"Wait, it's night time??" I asked confused. "But it was morning when I left..."
"Well there is a time difference. It's different worlds completely after all."
"I suppose that makes sense... But I already slept so I'm not tired at all"
"Well then, you can stay up with my sister." Celestia rolled her eyes. "Maybe play games with her."
"Sister..." Luna said with a tone of embarrassment.
"What kind of games do you have?"
"Well, it's fairly new but it's from your world." Luna stated. "You know the playstation 3?"
...
"That's supposed to be new?" I asked. "We've had the ps3 on earth for years."
"Years??"
I just nodded opening my bag, pulling out my ps4. "THIS is what is new on my world."
"Ps...4!?" Luna exclaimed. "Are we really that far behind??"
"It would appear so..." Celestia blushed a bit. "I really should have been keeping up with earths progress..."
"You wanna play it with me? I have two controls" I said getting out the wires.
"Absolutely! Playing a game from the future... I expect great things from it!"
"Hmm... Where's the tv?"
"Follow me," Luna said walking to her room, I followed, carrying my backpack. Celestia just smiled as we went. Luna pointed at the big television that looked like it could be 100 inches.
"I think I'm in love..." I let out looking at the tv while Luna smirked rolling her eyes. I quickly removed all the plugs for the ps3 from the tv and set up my ps4 instead. Luna then turned the tv on. I turned on the ps4 and we both saw my account name.
"UnleashedTwilight?" Luna asked with a skeptical look.
I just giggled nervously and handed her the second remote. I waited as she signed into her own psn. I'm surprised that it actually worked with my ps4. "Gamer Luna?" I asked.
"What??" Luna blushed.
I rolled my eyes and tried putting a game in. Except the disc wouldn't go in. "Huh?" I pressed the eject button and a Blu-ray Disc popped out. "Ah!" I quickly took it out.
But when I was about to put it away, a blue aura surrounded it and was levitated to Luna. She tilted her head as she read the title written on the disc with a marker. "Equestria Girls...?" She narrowed her eyes at me. "Is this some sort of pornography?"
"What! No!" I exclaimed. "It's just a movie!"
She looked at me skeptically again and put the disc back in the ps4 then played it. What came on actually surprised her. It was showing the moment that Twilight got her crown stolen. Then showing Twilight going into the human world. "That mirror..." She mumbled turning off the movie. "Sorry Levi, I didn't know that there was actually a film of that... Perhaps later we could watch it together."
"Sure if you really want to." I put the movie away. "You ever play need for speed?"
"A few times."
"How do you explain cars from the game to ponies?"
"Oh we just say it's something we might have in the future." Luna giggled. "Of course the citizens believe it."
"Who do you play with on your ps3?"
"Anypony really. Mostly my sister or Twilight though."
"Even Twilight plays? I thought she mostly reads."
"Well she does. But she does take the time to play with me."
"What's her psn?"
"Er... Twiley2010" I could only laugh. "I know..." Luna sighed and looked at the screen. "My you do have quite a few games..."
"Eh, just a few. It's still new so there aren't many games that interest me yet." I said putting on need for speed rivals. We both played for about 3 hours. (Not long at all) I was the racer for half the time while Luna was the police. Then we switched. She was great with the game. After need for speed, I let her play by herself with one of the solo games I had. Watchdogs. Since she was new to the ps4 she decided to play the game from her psn and I just watched her. She's really good at learning new games. Eventually time passed, and i could see that morning was already here. "Dang... Morning already?" I asked looking out the window.
Luna simply yawned and turned off the game. "Time goes by quickly whenever I play video games." She put the controller down. I put away the ps4 again along with all the wires and controls. "Come, let's go see my sister." I nodded as she lead me back to Celestia's room.
As we walked in, we were greeted by Celestia. "I trust you both had fun?"
"Yeah, it was fun." I smiled. "I already added Luna on my psn."
Celestia sighed. "More video game talk..." She mused.
"I think I'm going to get some rest sister..." Luna yawned walking back to her room.
"What about you Levi? Will you need any rest?" Celestia asked looking at me.
I simply shook my head. "I should be fine. Did you sleep well?"
Celestia smiled. "I had a wonderful sleep, thank you." She noticed my bag on me again. "Do you have everything you need to visit Twilight?" I simply nodded again. "Very good, now let's go introduce you shall we?" She said teleporting the both of us out of the castle.
"Spike!" Twilight exclaimed. "Are you finished dusting the books yet?"
"It's still early, Twilight! Sheesh, calm down."
"I just want everything to be perfect for when Princess Celestia's guest arrives." She then narrowed her eyes. "So that means no playstation when they get here!" She said walking around inspecting her home.
"Oh come on. Maybe this guy likes to play too!"
"No. Playstation." Twilight said sternly. "And one more thing. Celestia said something about her guest being different and that we have to try our best to not overreact."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Spike asked walking to her.
"I'm not entirely sure. But we should probably be prepared for who ever she brings." Suddenly there could be footsteps coming from upstairs. "That's strange... I would've thought she'd go to the front door." Twilight said going up the stairs. "Princess Celestia...?" Twilight asked looking in her bed room only to be greeted by... Well... Me. "What in Equestria...??"
I freeze but slowly turn to meet Twilight Sparkle face to face. "Uh... Hi there." I said rubbing the back of my head. "I'm--" before I could say anything, I was quickly surrounded by a purple aura and pinned against the wall.
"Spike, notify the princess that this bi pedal creature broke into our home!"
"I'm on it!" Spike ran to get a scroll.
"No need Spike. Twilight... What did I say about over reacting?" A royal voice asked from behind the both of us. "And he isn't some creature, he is a human being."
"Celestia!?" Twilight exclaimed. "W-wait..." She continued slowly turning her head back to me. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!!" She said in a panic letting me go. "I had no idea that you'd be the guest Celestia was bringing!"
"I did tell you to be prepared..."
"Y-yeah but... I never expected to see..."
"It's fine, don't worry about it..." I groaned getting myself up."And as I was saying before, I'm Levi."
"I'm Twilight Sparkle..." The purple alicorn shook my hand. "And again, I'm really sorry about pinning you to the wall like that..."
"And like I said, don't worry about it Twilight. I'm over it." I smiled.
Celestia returned the smile. "I trust everything will be alright here?'
"Yes, I'll make sure he's treated good."
"Thank you Twilight. I'll leave you both to it." Celestia said using her magic to teleport back to her castle.
Twilight turned to back to me with a look of interest. "So, you're a human being... Correct?"
"Yeah, I'm a human." I said. "Celestia sent me here to visit."
"I see..." Twilight said placing a hoof on her head studying me. "Fascinating... I've seen humans in those games Spike and I play... But we both thought that they were just legend!"
"Funny, I thought the same thing for Pegasus ponies and unicorns."
"Really? Perhaps we should do a study on each other."
"Uh... I don't need to study you. But you study me if you want, I guess..."
"Perfect!" Twilight exclaimed quickly grabbing a scroll and quill. "Spike? Why don't you go downstairs for a little bit?" He nodded and went down. Twilight then turned back to me. "Ok, first question... Where are you from?"
"Well... I'm from Earth... Massachusetts to be exact."
"Hmm... Massachusetts..." She said taking down notes. "And what kind of work do humans do?"
"Well, it's kind of the same thing like ponies here. Different jobs for different people." I started as I sat down. "Some people are unemployed... And some people just do some jobs that are too degrading for me to imagine."
"I see..." Twilight said taking down every word. "What does the human diet consist of?"
"Well, humans are omnivores really."
"So you eat both then?"
"That's right, though some people prefer to eat only vegetables... Others only like to eat meat."
"And... What side are you?"
"I'm 50-50 on that." I answered. "I'm not crazy for meat."
"Oh thank Celestia..." Twilight said with a sigh of relief. "One more question for now..."
"Go ahead."
"Do you have a mate...?"
Hearing that question kind of caught me off guard. I mean... I did have a girlfriend once but... Well... Let's just say that's part of the incident that happened some time ago. "No... I'm single right now." I pause for a moment. "What about you? Do you have somepony to love?"
"Me??" Twilight asked a little surprised. "N-no, I don't have anypony..." She responded.
"Really? Somepony like you doesn't have a special somepony yet?"
"P-please Levi, I'm nothing special..."
"You know so much stuff about books no one else knows. You're a princess. You're beautiful. And smart."
"What... Did you call me?" Twilight asked blushing a bit.
"Uh... Smart?"
"No... Before that..."
I blush a bit and try to dodge the question. No way! Not right! That would be wrong in so many ways!! "Hey! Why don't we read a little bit??" I smile sheepishly at her. Smooth... Real smooth...
"Oh uh... Alright..." Twilight responded a little confused. "What do you want to read?"
"How about Daring Do?"
"You have the Daring Do series back on Earth?"
"Well, yeah! Daring Do is probably one of my favorite books." I smiled a bit.
"What a coincidence... It's my favorite too." Twilight smiled back at me. "Which one should we read together?"
"How about the Sapphire Stone?" I asked pulling it out.
"I love that one!" She smiled pulling out a copy of the book. She sat next to me on the bed as we both began to read. We took turns reading out loud and laughing at some of the small jokes in the book... In all honesty, it was my first time reading this book, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it. After a few hours we decided to take a break close the book. "You have an amazing reading voice Levi."
"Heh, thanks. So do you Twilight."
Twilight just giggled at me a bit. For a minute she just stared at me. After another minute I was shocked to see her crying a bit. "Do you really think I'm beautiful...? N-no pony has ever said that to me before..."
"Hey, of course I think you're beautiful..." Twilight just stopped and hugged me. "Huh?"
"Thanks... That means a lot." She paused for a moment and let go. "I hope you do decide to stay Levi."
"Hey, I might... Only time will tell."
"Right, right, of course..." Twilight blushed again. "Levi...?"
"Yeah?"
"I..."
"Twilight!" Spike exclaimed running upstairs.
"Huh?" Both of us said in unison.
"Pinkie Pie is here! She said she want to meet Levi!"
"Wait, how does she even...??" I asked pretending like I don't know that pink party pony's pinkie sense.
"That's Pinkie Pie for you..." Twilight rolled her eyes, "Come on, I'll introduce you to her." Twilight headed downstairs.
"Alright." I said following her. Almost immediately after reaching the bottom step, I'm quickly hugged by a pink coated equine. "Oof!"
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Wow, my pinkie sense wasn't wrong! It really WAS a human in Equestria sense!" Pinkie gasped. "Oh my gosh, an ACTUAL human in Equestria!! I have to throw you a first human in Equestria party!" Pinkie gasped again. "I have to throw you a welcome to Ponyville party too!! Oh, I have so much to do!!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Meet me I'm Sugarcube corner in one hour! I know it's cutting it close, but I'm gonna make you the biggest part my you ever had!"
"Uh... I've never really had a party thrown for me before."
"WHAT!?!?!" Pinkie exclaimed wide eyed in disbelief. "NEVER had a party?!?!" She took a deep breath. "Well then! I'll just have to make this the biggest party that I've ever thrown!!" Without a chance to respond, she quickly zoomed off to Celestia knows where.
"Well... Uh..." I let out.
"Oh don't worry, that's just Pinkie Pie being her usual self." Twilight giggled.
I realize that Pinkie Pie was crazy in the show but MAN... Witnessing it first hand is just... Well... It's insane!
...
I think I'm going to like it here. I smile in thought. "That'll take some getting used to."
