> Froppy in Equestria > by Crossover_Addict > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Unknown Land > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deep in the woods of the Everfree Forest, there was a human girl that somewhat resembles a frog. She has long dark green hair and big oval eyes. Her name is Tsuyu Asui and she has no idea where she is. However, she knows how she got here. ************* Back in Tsuyu's home world, Japan to be more specific, she and her friend Uraraka were tasked with helping the police in raiding a shady warehouse. It was all part of their internship under Ryuko, a.k.a "The Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu". The raid was successful and all of the suspects were apprehended. All except for one man who managed to avoid the cops by hiding inside a crate. While Tsuyu Asui was camouflaged and sticking to the warehouse's ceiling to watch over her allies, she noticed a crate opening up from the inside. To her surprise, a scrawny and suspicious looking man got out from the crate and slowly made his way to the warehouse's exist door. Tsuyu, while still camouflaged, followed the shady man until he got out of the warehouse. Before the man could start running away from the warehouse, a long strong tongue appeared out of seemingly nowhere and wrapped the man and then lifted him up into the air. "What the hell!" shouted the shady man. "I got you, ribbit" said Tsuyu triumphantly. "L.. let me go you frog bitch!" said the man as he laid all five of his fingers on Tsuyu's tongue. "I don't appreciate your language, mister. Now I will take you to the..." before Tsuyu could finish her sentence, she suddenly found herself surrounded by trees and bushes instead of buildings. "....... ribbit?" was all what Tsuyu could utter in her state of confusion. ************* "Maybe that guy had some kind of a teleportation quirk" thought Tsuyu Asui to herself. "But where did he teleport me to?" As Tsuyu continued to ponder on her whereabouts, she heard the sounds of movements emitting from the bushes. She looked towards the bushes and saw dozens of green eyes. She then looked to her left and then to her right and then to every conceivable direction. She saw that she was surrounded by a large number of green glowing eyes. Once those eyes started to emerge from the bushes, Tsuyu saw that they belonged to what appears to be.... wolves made out of wood? Tsuyu didn't know what those wooden wolves are, but at least she could tell that they didn't seem friendly. The froggy girl immediately took a fighting stance and prepared herself for what's to come. Multiple wooden wolves tried to pounce at her, but she immediately jumped out of the way and whipped out her tongue and slammed it at two of her assailants, breaking them into many pieces in the process. Before Tsuyu could feel the satisfaction of her feat, she felt something sharp slash at her back. She screamed in pain and hopped forward to create a safe distance between herself and the one who attacked her from behind. "This is really bad" said Tsuyu as she panted and as the beads of sweat started to appear on her forehead. Tsuyu is generally considered to be a good fighter by her classmates. However, she only fights well when she's on a team, and right now she is alone and surrounded by enemies. The wooden wolves surrounding Tsuyu started to tread closer and closer to the froggy heroine. Tsuyu, with determination in her eyes, got into a fighting stance once again. "I... I am not going to die here!" said Tsuyu to herself with convection. ************* After an hour or so, the grassy land was littered with large quantities of broken twigs and logs. And amongst the broken pieces of wood stood Tsuyu Asui. She has defeated the wooden wolves but.... "This..... is..... really bad" uttered Tusyu under her breath. There was a large claw mark on her back and left shoulder, and multiple bite marks on her left and right thighs, as well as on her left and right forearms. Her hero suit was also shredded, but only the parts that used to cover her back, left shoulder, thighs and forearms. "I... need to get out of here and find help" said Tsuyu, realizing that her injuries need to be treated as soon as possible. ************* Many hours have passed as Tsuyu walked through the woods of the Everfree Forest. Eventually she felt tired and decided to take a moment to rest. But unfortunately for her, she noticed a large manticore nearby. "That monster looks pretty strong. Too strong for me to handle on my own, especially with my injuries. I better use my camouflage and avoid it" thought Tsuyu to herself. She used her camouflage ability and went past the manticore while maintaining a safe distance, but unfortunately for the froggy heroine, the manticore had a keen sense of smell. The beast managed to pick up Tsuyu's scent and it immediately lounged at her location. "CRAP!" gasped Tsuyu as she instantly hopped out of the way. Tsuyu, despite her injuries, started to hop and hop as fast as she could, but the manticore was gaining on her. Her camouflage wore off in the process. As Tsuyu continued to hop away from her pursuer, she noticed a river in front of her. "YES!" exclaimed Tsuyu and without any hesitation she leaped into the river. However, before her body could be fully submerged in the water, the manticore managed to slash at Tsuyu's right calf. Tsuyu Asui shrieked in pain, but the river managed to muffle her screams. Her blood began to taint the part of the river she dived into. ************* After many more hours of limping, Tsuyu eventually reached what seemed to be the edge of the forest. "I... finally made it" said Tsuyu. The froggy human then noticed that the sun was rising. "Looks like it took me all night just to get here, ribbit." Tsuyu then started to rub her eyes "I feel pretty sleepy and tired. I hope I can find a safe place to sleep and hopefully heal my wounds, ribbit." After Tsuyu had continued moving further onwards, she saw a town. "Civilization" Tsuyu exclaimed happily. She started to limp faster and faster towards the town despite her injuries, but then she suddenly stopped. "Wait a minute. What am I thinking? The inhabitants of that town could be hostile!" thought Tsuyu. Tsuyu sat down on the grass and started to ponder. "Ever since that man touched my tongue I found my self in some forest surrounded by wooden wolves and later on I encountered a manticore. Am I even on planet earth?". "It is possible that I am on earth and that there is someone using their quirk to manipulate wood in order to attack me. As for that manticore, it is not strange for animals to also posses a quirk, just like Principle Nezu." Tsuyu then got up and looked at the town wearily. "I am tired and my injuries must be treated as soon as possible. I have no choice but to head towards that town and hope that its inhabitants won't harm me" said Tsuyu as she limped towards the town. Once Tsuyu got a bit closer to the town's outskirts, she started to crawl on the ground while using her camouflage. "I must not allow the townspeople to see me. Not until I'm sure that they're not hostile, ribbit" thought Tsuyu. After the froggy heroine crawled further towards the town, she saw something quite peculiar. Right in front of her eyes, she saw a pair of technicolored equines, sitting on top of a mat and next to them is a picknick basket. They were laughing and chatting with each other. "Are..... are the inhabitants of this town.... horses?" Tsuyu asked herself while being absolutely flabbergasted and most importantly camouflaged. "Looks like..... I may not be on earth anymore" said Tsuyu to herself while feeling nothing but pure anxiousness. Tsuyu continued to observe the two equines. She could hear them talking, but she couldn't make out what they're saying, because of the distance. Tsuyu decided to get just a bit closer to the two equines. Suddenly, the two equines looked in Tsuyu's direction and started to wave their hooves. "Glad you could make it" said the first equine who sounded feminine. "We've been waiting for you" added the other equine who also sounded feminine. For a very brief second, Tsuyu thought that the two equines were talking to her, but after she heard a masculine voice from behind say "Sorry for keeping you two waiting" she let out a sigh of relief. Wait a minute, from BEHIND! Due to Tsuyu's injuries getting worse, she couldn't move out of the way in time to avoid the male equine who was trotting towards his friends. The horse then bumped into Tsuyu. "Oof, what the hay?!" exclaimed the male equine while Tsuyu let out a small shriek as she grabbed her right calf and as her camouflage lost its effect. "W.. w.... wha..... WHAT IS THAT!" said the female equine as she pointed her hoof at Tsuyu. "IT'S A MONSTER, RUN" said the other female equine before she and her friend started galloping as fast as they could. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH" screamed the male equine once he saw Tsuyu, and just like his two friends he also started galloping away to the direction they were running towards. Tsuyu slowly started to stand on her two feet and once she stood up, she looked at the three equines as they galloped away towards the town. "Oh.... no" said Tsuyu with fear in her eyes. "They saw me and they are definitely going to tell everyone in town about me. They will all be on high alert". Tsuyu then sat down and started to ponder. "I am really exhausted and I feel that my injuries are going to get worse if I don't treat them. Whether I like it or not, my only chance of survival lies in the hands or hooves of those horses. They seem to be easily frightened, which means that hopefully they may not be violent" Tsuyu then stood up. "If I can show them that I pose no harm to them then maybe they will help me" Tsuyu then camouflaged herself and slowly limped towards the town. ************* Inside Sugarcube Corner, sat the Mane Six whom are also known as the bearers of the elements of harmony. They were chatting about their daily lives while enjoying some tasty pastries until..... Somepony flung the door open and galloped towards the Mane Six. "Princess Twilight, Princess Twilight, you have to do something!" said a bluish earth pony mare as she grabbed Twilight Sparkle by her shoulders and proceeded to shake her. "There is a monster in the outskirts of Ponyville". Twilight then softly laid her hoof on the mare's chest and gently pushed her back. "Woah, calm down. You said you saw.... a monster?" asked Twilight while raising a brow. "YES!" exclaimed the frightened mare. Twilight then placed her hoof on her chin and pondered for a bit. "What did that monster look like?" asked Twilight. "Well.... it had a long blackish green mane and its eyes were big. Oh and it had frog like feet and it wore some kind of a green outfit" answered the mare while trembling in fear. "Big eyes, long blackish green hair and frog like feet....... I haven't read about any creature that looks like this." A very big smile started to appear on Twilight's face. "Could this monster be a new creature that nopony has discovered yet?" said Twilight the princess of friendship with glee. "Ah don't mean to damper your enthusiasm, Twi. But if there's a monster close to Ponyville, then I reckon we should stop it in its tracks before it harms somepony" said Applejack with a serious look on her face. "I agree with AJ! We have to find that monster and kick its flank outta Ponyville!" said Rainbow Dash while hovering and delivering a kick towards the air. "Or throw it a party!" said Pinkie Pie with a smile. Applejack and Rainbow Dash simply gave their pink friend an unamused look. "Maybe it's just lost and needs help" said Fluttershy sympathetically. "Usually I don't look forward to seeing.... monsters" said Rarity before shuddering for a bit "but after hearing that mare say that the monster was wearing a green outfit, I can't help but feel tempted to take a look at it" added Rarity with a slight smile. Twilight placed her hoof on the trembling mare "Don't worry, my friends and I will take care of this! In the meantime, you should go home and stay safe" said Twilight reassuringly. "Thank you, princess" said the blueish mare before trotting out of Sugarcube Corner. Twilight Sparkle then looked at Rainbow Dash "Rainbow Dash, I need you to fly over Ponyville and locate the monster. Once you find it, comeback to us and tell me where it is so I can teleport us to its location. Our chances of success will be much higher if we all confront the monster together" said Twilight with a serious look on her face. "You got it" said Rainbow Dash before saluting Twilight, dashing out of Sugarcube Corner and flying upwards towards the clear blue skies of Ponyville. ************* Tsuyu, while in her camouflage, was limping through the town's streets. She saw a lot of equines trotting and conversing with each other. She also noticed that there are three types of these equines. The first type had a single horn on their heads and the second type had a pair of wings. The third type had neither horns nor wings. "They..... seem friendly enough" said Tsuyu as she saw how happy and cheerful the equines seemed to be. "Well..... it's time for the moment of truth" Tsuyu then took a deep breath and retracted her camouflage. One by one, the ponies started to notice the weird looking creature that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They all stared at Tsuyu with fear in their eyes. Before Tsuyu could open her mouth to say something that would calm down the starring equines, one of them pointed a hoof at her and shouted "MONSTER!". All the equines in Tsuyu's vicinity started to gallop away from her. Some of them ran into their houses and locked the doors, while others simply continued to run away until she lost sight of them. "This is really bad......... ribbit" said Tsuyu with a worried expression on her face. Not knowing what else to do, the froggy human continued to limp further down the streets of this town, hoping to find someone who can help her. ************* "Come on, where is this monster" said Rainbow Dash impatiently as she flew through the sky, surveying the town. After some time has passed, she noticed a good number of ponies below galloping away from something. She looked towards the area that they were running away from and she noticed something, a bipedal creature. "That's the monster?" said the disappointed Rainbow Dash. "It doesn't look tough, I bet I can kick its flank with two hooves tied behind my back, but Twilight told me to report back to her once I find the monster. Welp, I better not keep egghead waiting" said Rainbow Dash before flying away at top speed towards Sugarcube Corner. ************* "The streets are empty, I cant see anyone" said Tsuyu Asui as she continued to limp onwards while panting. "I feel like I'm going to pass out at any moment" Tsuyu then stopped limping and looked at the clear blue sky. "Mom, dad, Samidare and Satsuki...... sorry but it looks like I cant see you all again, ribbit" thought Tsuyu as tears began to emerge from her eyes. Then suddenly and out of nowhere, a large flash of light appeared right in front of Tsuyu. Once the mysterious light disappeared, in its place appeared six equines. Despite Tsuyu being extremely tired and injured at this point, she still managed to show a flabbergasted look on her face. And from what she can tell, unlike all the other equines, these equines don't seem to be afraid of her. That is a good thing, right? As Tsuyu looked at the six equines in front of her, she noticed that the purple one is the only one who has both a horn and a pair of wings. Is it the head honcho of this town? Tsuyu then focused her attention on the equines' facial expressions. The purple one, the orange one and the white one all had a serious expression on their faces. The cyan one had a smirk on its face while the pink one had a.... wide smile on her face? Tsuyu shook her head for a bit and tried to focus on the last one, the yellow one. Out of all the six equines, the yellow one's expression was... different. It was that of.... concern? "Is the yellow one concerned about me?" thought Tsuyu to herself as she analyzed the yellow equine with wings. Before Tsuyu could say something like asking for help or clarifying that she comes in peace, she starts to feel really woozy! "No..... my injuries are starting to take its toll...... and I haven't even slept" thought Tsuyu as she struggled to stay conscious and keep standing. Despite the froggy girl's best efforts, her legs gave up on her and she fell face first on the ground. "Everything is going dark..... there's nothing else I can do..... I hope those horses will help me" thought Tsuyu before she completely lost consciousness..... and also before she felt something soft cradle her head > Meeting The Ponies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “She is hurt, we have to help her!” cried Fluttershy as she cradled the head of the unconscious bipedal creature. “Are you kidding me!” said Rainbow Dash before hovering closer to Fluttershy and pointing her hoof at the unknown creature. “We have no idea what this creature is. It could be dangerous!” Fluttershy was taken aback by the words of her childhood friend. She felt a bit intimidated by Rainbow Dash, but she quickly regained her resolve after she looked at the injured creature between her hooves. Fluttershy shook her head. “No, Rainbow Dash! That is not a good excuse to refuse to help this poor creature” said Fluttershy as she hugged the creature a bit more tightly. “Oh for the love of.... Twilight, help me out here” said Rainbow Dash while looking at Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the gang all trotted over to Fluttershy and the unconscious creature. Twilight placed her hoof on her chin and pondered. She looked intently at the unconscious and injured creature. “Rainbow Dash is right” said Twilight after letting out an audible sigh. “Yes!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash. Feeling that her argument was sound and just. “But... but” whimpered Fluttershy with some tears in her eyes. “However!” Interrupted Twilight with a stern tone in her voice. “That doesn’t mean that we won’t help this creature!” added Twilight. Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but stare at Twilight with an open mouth. Fluttershy simply let out a sigh of relief as she continued to gently pat the creatures head. “We will help this creature, but after taking some safety precautions. We don’t know what it will do once it wakes up” said Twilight. “Sounds good to me” agreed Applejack. "I won't oppose to lending a hoof to anypony or creature whom needs it" said Rarity. She then takes a closer look at the biped. "Ugh, especially if it's this creature. Just look at her mane, it's so messy! And her turtleneck bodysuit is muddy and shredded! And..... is.... is this blood?!" Rarity then fainted and was about to hit the ground if Applejack hadn't caught her at the last second. "I agree with Twilight. If we help her then I can throw her the biggest 'Welcome To Ponyville' party EVER!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie. All the gang then looked at Rainbow Dash, waiting for her response. "Ugh, fine!" said Rainbow Dash reluctantly. "But don't say I didn't worn ya!" "Then it's settled" said Twilight before using her telekinetic magic to lift the unconscious biped a few feet into the air. "Okay, girls. Brace yourselves" Twilight's horn emitted a large flash of light before teleporting her, her friends and the biped out of the streets of Ponyville and into another location. ************* "Where...... where am I?" thought Tsuyu as she slowly opened her eyes. She could feel that she was lying on a bed. An extremely soft bed, softer than anything she had ever lied on. She then looked at her body and noticed two things. First of all, all of her injuries are covered with bandages. She pressed her finger against some of the bandages to see if the pain was still there. It was still there, but most of it had greatly subsided. "Whoever patched me up did a pretty good job" thought Tsuyu. And the second thing she noticed was that..... she was naked! The bandages did cover her calf, left shoulder, thighs and forearms. Furthermore, the bandages on her back also covered her breasts. However, the rest of her body was still exposed! Tsuyu took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Well, at least I can still cover myself with this bedsheet" thought Tsuyu. "I just hope no one groped me while I was unconscious. I hope none of them are like Mineta" Tsuyu cringed after remembering her unpleasant interactions with Mineta. She then looked at her surroundings to try and figure out her whereabouts. She noticed that the floor and ceiling were made out of wood. She also saw many roots protruding from the ceiling, walls and floor. “Am I..... inside a tree?” thought Tsuyu. The Froggy heroine then noticed that there is an assortment of lab equipment in the room. “Are they..... going to experiment on me?” Tsuyu decided, while still covering herself by the bedsheet, to leave the room. Before she could get too faraway from the bed, she bumped into something that felt like a wall. An invisible wall! "What is this?" Tsuyu touched the invisible wall. After that she knocked on it for a bit. "It's hard, but not too hard. I think I can break it, but that might alert my captors" thought Tsuyu. She then moved a portion of the bedsheet away from her body to glance at her bandages. "Or maybe they are my rescuers? On one hand, they did patch me up, but on the other hand, they clearly don't want me to leave this room" thought Tsuyu before deciding to sit on the bed. As she was sitting on the bed, she noticed a silver tray on the floor to her left. On top of the tray were a pair of apples, a glass of water and..... a cupcake?. "Looks like I was too busy observing my surroundings I didn't notice the food" thought Tsuyu. She grabbed the cupcake and observed it for a bit. "......... ribbit?" uttered Tsuyu once she saw the phrase "GET WELL SOON" written in royal icing on the cupcake. ************* Upstairs, in the ground floor of the Golden Oak Library, sat the princess of friendship. She was surrounded by mountains of books and papers, and she was gleefully writing on a long piece of parchment. A few moments latter, a short purple dragon entered the ground floor while rubbing his eyes. "Twilight? Are you still writing about that creature? Did you even sleep?" said Spike before yawning. "How can I sleep, Spike!" said Twilight with a large smile on her face. "There isn't a single book about this creature, which means I can be the first pony to ever write about it!" "..... okay, but make sure you get some rest" advised Spike. "No need" chuckled Twilight for a bit. "I casted a rejuvenation spell on myself." "If you say so" said Spike. "Oh, Spike, could you head over to the store and buy some bottles of ink? I'm almost out" requested Twilight. "What! Seriously! But I just bought some yesterday" exclaimed Spike. Twilight smiled sheepishly as she gestured towards the mountains of papers that had her hoofwriting all over them. "Augh, fine" whined Spike before exiting the library. ************* A few minutes later after Spike left the library. KNOCK KNOCK! “Oh, they’re here” said Twilight as she opened the door via telekinesis. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy all entered the Golden Oak Library. “Hi Twilight, how’s the monster? Is she awake?" asked Rainbow Dash with a daring smile on her face. "Well, by my calculations, the sleeping spell that I casted on her should have worn off by now" answered Twilight. "Sleeping spell? Why'd ya cast a sleeping spell on her, Twi?" asked the perplexed Applejack. "Because she started to wake up before I could finish studying her" answered Twilight. "Oh my!" uttered Fluttershy as she looked at the mountains of papers, books and parchments on the floor. "By the way, where is Rarity?" asked Twilight. "Ooh ooh, me me, I know why she's not here!" said Pinkie Pie with her hoof raised as if she was a student trying to answer a question asked by her teacher. Twilight simply sighed and chose to play along with Pinkie Pie's antics by pointing her hoof at her. "Before we came here, we decided to go to Rarity's boutique and ask her if she's ready to come with us to meet you, but she said she's busy working on a new outfit for the creature along with patching up the creature's old outfit. But she also said that she's almost finished and that she'll be here soon" explained Pinkie Pie. "I guess we can wait for Rarity to get here before meeting the creature" said Twilight. "I hope she's okay, her injuries looked really nasty" said the sympathetic Fluttershy. Twilight trotted over to Fluttershy and placed her hoof on her friend's shoulder. "Don't worry, Fluttershy. I casted the best healing spell I know on her" said Twilight reassuringly. "She will be fi... OW!" Twilight winced and placed her hoof on her horn. "Woah! You okay there, sugar cube?" asked Applejack after rushing over to Twilight and placing her hoof on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Applejack. I'm fine. It's just the invisible barrier that I casted around the creature. Whatever happens to the barrier I can feel it. I made it to keep the creature in one specific location, and if she somehow manages to break through the barrier I'll know about it immediately" explained Twilight. "Pffft, if she breaks through the barrier then she'll have to go through me first if she wants to leave the library" scoffed Rainbow Dash while hovering. "Anyway, it seems that she was trying to escape by hitting the barrier. I think we should go downstairs and meet her right now" said Twilight. "But what about waiting untill Rarity gets here?" asked Fluttershy. "Sorry, Fluttershy. But I'm afraid the creature doesn't want to wait" retorted Twilight. She then used her telekinesis to grab a quill and a parchment. After that she trotted over to the entrance that leads downstairs. Twilight turned around and looked at her four friends. "Okay girls, are you ready to meet the new creature?" asked Twilight with a confident smile. All the girls replied with a nod. "Okay then, lets go" said Twilight as she lead the way with a smile almost as big as Pinkie Pie's. It's not every day a pony gets a chance to converse with a newly discovered creature. ************* A few minutes earlier After Tsuyu ate the apples and cupcake and drank the glass of water, she lied on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She then began to ponder about her current predicament. "Maybe I was too hasty when I assumed that I wasn't on earth just because I saw a couple of talking horses. It is possible that they are people who have quirks that allows them to transform into horses, just like how Ryuko can transform into a dragon" thought Tsuyu to herself. "But still.... if they are just people who can become horses..... why did they call me a monster and run away from me? Were they brainwashed by their town's leaders into adapting isolationism? Were they told throughout their whole life that anything or anyone from the outside world is inherently bad?" pondered Tsuyu. "But if that's the case then...... why did they treat my wounds? Are they going to use me for something? What are they going to do to me?" Tsuyu continued to ponder. "The more I think about it, the more questions I keep creating for myself. I need answers and I need to figure out exactly where I am" said Tsuyu to herself. Tsuyu then noticed a fly flying near the ceiling. "Even though I think flies are disgusting, I still have to admit that they taste rather good. I guess that's just my frog quirk squabbling with my human side" thought Tsuyu before launching her powerful tongue towards the fly. BAM "OH NO, I FORGOT ABOUT THE INVISIBLE WALL!" thought Tsuyu after her mighty tongue slammed into the invisible wall and produced a very loud sound. Tsuyu then heard someone say "OW" from upstairs. "Looks like their quirk also allows them to feel their invisible wall." After awhile, Tsuyu couldn't really hear much of anything, but now she is hearing many footsteps coming from the stairs. "I guess my captors or saviors are coming down" said Tsuyu to herself before getting out of the bed and covering herself with the bedsheet. "I just hope I can get some answers from them." ************* Before Tsuyu stood five equines. "So.... those are my captors or saviors! I wonder where the white one is" thought Tsuyu. "I have to stay calm. I can't let them know I'm feeling a bit nervous. Thanks to my frog quirk, it's easy for me to maintain an expressionless face." "Hmmm, the orange one and the cyan one seem to be suspicious of me. That pink one's smile is a bit unnerving, why is she looking at me like that? And the yellow one, she is still looking at me sympathetically. I guess I could count on her to protect me from the rest of them if they decide to harm me" thought Tsuyu. “And last but not least, the one that seems to be the leader of the group, the purple one! She seems to be very excited, but her smile is nowhere near as wide as the pink one’s. I think that’s a good thing. And..... is that a quill and parchment floating next to her? Does she also have a telekinesis quirk?” said Tsuyu to herself. Twilight Sparkle took a few steps forward and cleared her throat. “Here comes the moment of truth” thought Tsuyu. “Hello there, I am Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship” said Twilight. Tsuyu simply blinked and gave a blank stare. “And these are my friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy” said Twilight while pointing her hoof at each of her friends. “This is almost as bad as Bakugou’s hero name” thought Tsuyu. “What’s your name?” asked Twilight with a wide smile and eyes filled with hopes, dreams and a thirst for knowledge. “... Tsuyu Asui” replied Tsuyu. “......... could you repeat that?” asked Twilight with a sheepish smile. “My name is Tsuyu Asui” repeated Tsuyu. “Tsu.... why.... you... as... we?” said Applejack as she tried to comprehend and pronounce Tsuyu Asui’s name. “What the hay kind of a name is that?” exclaimed Rainbow Dash with a frown. “... it’s Japanese” replied Tsuyu. All the ponies, except for Pinkie Pie who was still keeping her wide smile, gave Tsuyu a very confused look. “What in tarnation is ‘Japanese’?” asked Applejack. “It is a language that is spoken in the country of Japan” answered Tsuyu. “Just how isolated are these people?” thought Tsuyu. “Have ya ever heard of this... Japan thing, Twi?” asked Applejack. “Afraid not Applejack, of all the geographical books that I have read, none of them mentioned anything about a place called Japan” answered Twilight before proceeding to write down what Tsuyu just said. “She claims to have read books about geography and yet she doesn’t know what Japan is?” thought Tsuyu. “.... Twilight?” said Tsuyu. Twilight abruptly stopped writing on her parchment and looked at Tsuyu. “Yes?” “Where am I?” asked Tsuyu. “You’re in Ponyville” answered Twilight. Tsuyu blinked a few times. “Where is Ponyville?” “It’s in Equestria” answered Twilight. After a moment of silence, Tsuyu asked another question. “Where is Equestria?” Before Twilight could respond, she was interrupted by a loud and long laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" laughed Rainbow Dash as she ceased her hovering and proceeded to roll on the floor. Once she settled down a bit, she wiped a tear from her eye and looked at Tsuyu. "You don't know where Equestria is? Are you kidding me? HAHA, are you from another planet or something?" jeered Rainbow Dash. "From another planet?" said pinkie Pie. "*GASP* you mean she's an ALIEN?!" shouted Pinkie Pie with excitement before she rushed towards Tsuyu and stuck her face against the invisible barrier that stands between them. Tsuyu jumped backwards and landed on top of the bed. "How did she do that? How did she get this close to me before I could even notice her coming? Her speed quirk must be incredibly fast!" thought Tsuyu as her heart raced for a bit. "Pinkie Pie! You're scaring her!" exclaimed Twilight before using her telekinesis to pull Pinkie Pie away from the invisible barrier. She then trotted over to Rainbow Dash and gave her a stern look. "Stop making fun of her, Rainbow Dash!" Both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash lowered their heads in shame. Twilight then trotted a bit closer to the invisible barrier. "Sorry about that, Tsuyu. Some of my friends can be a bit overwhelming, but they're really good ponies once you get to know them" said Twilight. "Ponies? Is that what they call themselves?" thought Tsuyu after she hopped off the bed and landed on the floor. "Twi, while ah agree that what Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie did was uncalled for, ah still find it weird that she doesn't know where Equestria is. Ya sure she's okay in the head?" asked Applejack. "Of course she is, Applejack. After I treated her wounds, I casted a transparency spell on her to see if she's suffering from any internal injuries. And thank Celestia she's not" reassured Twilight. "Is Celestia their deity? And did she just say 'spell'?" Thought Tsuyu. "If she's okay in the head, then why doesn't she know Equestria?" asked Applejack. "I'm about to find out" said Twilight. "Tsuyu, what is the name of your species?" "Why am I feeling nervous all of a sudden?" thought Tsuyu. "Humans, we are called humans" answered Tsuyu while trying to maintain an expressionless face. Twilight looked at the notes she took during the conversation with Tsuyu. "If my hypothesis is correct, then the reason why Tsuyu doesn't know Equestria and why there aren't any books about her species, is because she's not from our world" said Twilight. "So... she's an alien?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Tsuyu, what is your planet called?" asked Twilight. "........ Earth" answered Tsuyu after a moment of silence. "My hypothesis has turned into fact" said Twilight with an excited smile as she continued to write on her parchment. Tsuyu took a few steps back and sat on her bed. The ponies couldn't tell what Tsuyu is feeling because of her expressionless face. On the surface, it didn't seem that Tsuyu cared much for what's going on around her, but deep down she was trying as hard as possible not to panic. She was trying to stay calm and figure out a way to return home to her friends, and most importantly, to her family! "Twilight, I heard you say the word 'spell', does magic exist in your world?" asked Tsuyu. "Yes, it does" answered Twilight. "Then.... can you send me back to my world?" asked Tsuyu. "Well....." said Twilight while scratching the back of her head "interdimensional travel is extremely difficult and nopony in the history of Equestria has managed to completely master it. Even Star Swirl The Bearded didn't experiment with it too much, because he feared he might send himself to another world without a way to come back" explained Twilight. "Does magic exist in your world, Tsuyu?" asked Twilight. "No" replied Tsuyu. "Then... how did you get here?" asked Twilight. "I was chasing down a villain, and when I caught him with my tongue he grabbed it and after that I found myself in the forest of your world" answered Tsuyu. All the ponies gave Tsuyu a confused look. "A villain sent you to our world by grabbing your tongue?" asked Twilight. "I think he has a quirk that allows him to teleport whomever he touches" explained Tsuyu. "A quirk?" said Applejack in confusion. "In my world we call superpowers quirks" said Tsuyu. "You call superpowers 'quirks'? That sounds kinda weird" commented Rainbow Dash before Twilight gave her another stern look. Rainbow Dash then gave a sheepish smile. Twilight placed her hoof on her chin and pondered for a bit. "You say there's no magic in your world and yet you were teleported here by a touch. Do you know how humans got their superpowers?" asked Twilight. "There's a popular theory in my world that we got our powers because of evolution" answered Tsuyu. "Evolution?...... I see" said Twilight before continuing to ponder. "In our world, teleportation is done through magic, but if what you're saying is true then it seems that teleportation in your world is done through biological means." "T.. Twilight" the timid Fluttershy finally decided to speak "Does this mean that it's impossible to send Tsuyu back to her world because she came here through non-magical means?" asked Fluttershy. "*SIGH* I don't know, Fluttershy. And like I said earlier, interdimensional travel is very complicated even with the aid of magic. The fact that Tsuyu managed to get to our world through non-magical means makes the matter of sending her back home even more complicated than it already is" explained Twilight with just a hint of sorrow in her voice. Tsuyu simply remained silent while sitting on the bed and staring at the floor. Twilight wanted to say something that would somehow comfort Tsuyu, but before she could a familiar voice caught the attention of the ponies in the room. "Greetings darlings, sorry for being late. I had to make sure that this attire would look absolutely fabulous on the creature. Oh, and I also remedied the creature's original turtleneck bodysuit and made it look good as new" said Rarity as she trotted down the stairs towards her friends while levitating Tsuyu's original suit along with a red box that most likely contains the new attire. Rarity then gasped in shock once she saw Tsuyu. "Oh. My. Goodness! Twilight, when I departed with the creature's garments, you told me that you would groom her mane" said Rarity as she looked at Twilight with a pout. "But I did, Rarity" responded Twilight. "No offence darling, but you somehow made her mane a bit worse than when we first saw her" said Rarity before trotting closer to the invisible barrier. "Please forgive my dear friend Twilight.... " Rarity gestured for Tsuyu to reveal her name. ".... My name's Tsuyu Asui" said Tsuyu. "Ooh, sounds lovely. As I was saying earlier, please forgive my friend Twilight. If you were under my care, I would have made sure to return your mane to its former glory if not better" said Rarity. Tsuyu then ran her fingers through her long dark green hair. "She's right, my hair does look and feel a bit shabby. I guess I didn't notice this because I was too focused on my current situation" thought Tsuyu. "Speaking of former glory, l hope that this would be to your liking" said Rarity as she levitated Tsuyu's original garments in front of her. Tsuyu looked at her hero suit and it looked.... sublime! "You.... fixed my outfit. Thanks, Rarity" said Tsuyu as she stood up. "No need to thank me dear Tsuyu. I make it my duty to create beautiful attires and to rectify ruined ones. Now please put it on, so that we can marvel at your new appearance" implored Rarity before trying to give Tsuyu her attire, but couldn't because of the invisible wall. "Twilight, could you disable your invisible barrier spell?" said Rarity. Twilight gave Rarity's request some thought. "Well, I guess it's safe to conclude that Tsuyu isn't a threat" said Twilight before disabling her barrier by a single glow from her horn. Rarity then immediately gave Tsuyu her original outfit and placed the red box next to the bed. Rarity looked at Tsuyu expectantly. "Go on dear Tsuyu. You may wear your improved attire" said Rarity. Tsuyu looked at her hero suit, then at her body which is covered by the bedsheet and then finally she looked at the ponies. "Could I get some privacy?" said Tsuyu. Rarity titled her head at Tsuyu's request. "Is something wrong, dear?" asked Rarity. "We humans don't like being naked in front of someone" said Tsuyu. It took the ponies a little while to comprehend what Tsuyu just said. Rarity was the first amongst them to blush in embarrassment. "Oh my!" exclaimed Rarity. "I... I mean we simply did not know that your species are averse to nudeness. Please forgive us, dear Tsuyu. We shall give you all the privacy you need, won't we Twilight?" said Rarity before looking at Twilight. "Y.. yes, definitely" said Twilight with a sheepish smile before gesturing to her friends to leave the basement. All the ponies made their way upstairs and gave Tsuyu her desired privacy. "Please do meet us upstairs once you're done, Tsuyu" said Rarity before joining her friends upstairs. Tsuyu looked at her hero suit and noticed how its colors looked more vibrant. "These ponies are really kind" thought Tsuyu. "I just hope I can find a way to get back home, ribbit" a few tears began to emerge from Tsuyu's eyes. > Time To Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the bearers of the elements of harmony sat at the ground floor of the Golden Oak Library, Twilight Sparkle relayed everything she learned about Tsuyu to Rarity. "Oh my, poor Tsuyu" said Rarity sympathetically. "I hope she is taking it well." "Don't worry, Rarity. Tsuyu seems like a tough gal to me. And besides, ah bet Twi will eventually figure out a way ta send her back home. Ain't that right, sugar cube?" said Applejack. "heh heh, I'll try" said Twilight with a slightly nervous smile. "Ooh ooh, she's coming she's coming" said Pinkie Pie enthusiastically. She was the first amongst her friends to hear Tsuyu's footsteps. All the ponies looked expectantly at the basement's entrance. And to their delight, Tsuyu has entered the room while wearing her patched up and improved turtleneck bodysuit, curtesy of Rarity. "Oh, Tsuyu. You look absolutely fabulous!" exclaimed Rarity before trotting over to Tsuyu to get a better look at her. As Rarity examined Tsuyu, she noticed something that made her face contort into a slight frown. "Perhaps I spoke a bit too soon. Your mane needs some work, but fret not dear for I am here!" The last part of Rarity's sentence reminded Tsuyu of All Might's famous catchphrase which is "I AM HERE". that phrase echoed for a bit in Tsuyu's mind. Rarity pulled out a pair of combs and hair sprays and started working swiftly on Tsuyu's long dark green hair. And in a short amount of time, the fashionista was done. "There you go, darling. Now you look quite dazzling. I can't wait until everypony feasts their eyes on you" said Rarity with pride in her work. "Woah woah, easy there Rarity. I don't think everypony is ready to meet her. When they saw her for the first time they were totally freaked out by her" interjected Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash is right, Rarity. The ponies in Ponyville need some time to get used to Tsuyu" said Twilight before placing her hoof on her chin to ponder. Twilight then smiled brightly once an idea popped in her head. "Pinkie Pie, can you throw a party for Tsuyu tonight?" said Twilight as she looked at Pinkie Pie "I think it's the quickest way to make everypony get used to Tsuyu." Pinkie Pie couldn't contain herself once she heard Twilight's request. "OF COURSE I CAN!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie as she excitedly hopped all over the room. "She's...... really fast. I don't think I can keep up with her" thought Tsuyu as she saw Pinkie Pie hop from one spot to another with extreme speed and agility. Twilight groaned for a bit before asking Pinkie Pie to stop. The pink blur halted and was right in front of the princess of friendship. "Okay, now, Pinkie Pie, where are you going to throw the party?" asked Twilight. "Well, I could throw it here in the library" suggested Pinkie Pie. "No, Pinkie Pie. I'm still working on my research on Tsuyu and I'm far from done" said Twilight before pointing her hoof towards the mountains of papers, parchments and books. "Moving all of that out of the way for the party would be tiresome and it will hinder my research." Tsuyu looked towards the large pile of papers. "She wrote all that about me?" thought Tsuyu before walking over to check out the piles of paper. "Oh, okay then. How about the town hall?" another suggestion by Pinkie Pie. "Hmmm, that could work, but can you get Mayor Mare to agree to this?" asked Twilight. "Duh, of course I can. Mayor Mare loves my parties" said Pinkie Pie without a hint of doubt in her voice. "Okay, Pinkie Pie. See to it that the party starts at midnight" requested Twilight. "Okie doki loki" acknowledged Pinkie Pie before zooming out of the library and towards town hall at full speed. "Ah need ta get some work done at the farm, before I head to the party. See ya'll at midnight" said Applejack as she trotted towards the front door. Rainbow Dash was about to leave the library, but she stopped and looked at Tsuyu with a slightly dejected look on her face. She sighed and hovered over to Tsuyu who was reading the contents of a piece of paper. "Hey, ummm, Tsu... yu" Rainbow Dash struggled for a bit at saying Tsuyu's name. "Listen, I just wanna say that I'm sorry for how I laughed at you earlier. And also, I wanna say sorry for thinking that you're a dangerous monster." "It's okay Rainbow Dash. No harm was done" said Tsuyu. "Heh, thanks Tsuyu, you're alright. Oh and trust me, you'll totally love Pinkie Pie's party, it's the coolest. Later" said Rainbow Dash before flying out of the library to attend to her weather duties. Tsuyu continued to read the contents of the paper. "Hmmm, it's all just measurements of my head, arms and legs" said Tsuyu to herself. She then placed the piece of paper aside and picked up another one to read. Fluttershy and Rarity said their goodbyes to Twilight as they were leaving the library. "Oh, Twilight, please make sure Tsuyu puts on the dress I made for her. It's in the red box, she will look dazzling at the party." requested Rarity before leaving. "Don't worry, Rarity. I'll tell her about that dress" said Twilight while waving goodbye to Fluttershy and Rarity. Twilight closed the library's door and made her way towards Tsuyu. "Okay, Tsuyu. We need to get you ready for Pinkie Pie's party. Seeing how it's going to be at midnight, that'll leave us with a pretty good amount of time to.......... Tsuyu?" said Twilight once she noticed Tsuyu staring at a piece of paper while holding it with both hands. Tsuyu's pupils were white and her cheeks were red and her mouth was slightly agape. "Tsuyu? Are you okay? Is something wrong?" said Twilight as she placed her hoof on Tsuyu's lower back. Tsuyu slowly looked away from the paper and started to look directly at Twilight's eyes. "Twi.... Twilight, what did you do to my body while I was unconscious?" asked Tsuyu with a slight stutter. "I just healed your wounds and then studied you, Tsuyu" answered Twilight with a slightly worried expression on her face. A noticeable frown appeared on Tsuyu's face. "Really? And why does studying me includes groping my breasts?" asked an angry Tsuyu. "The two large lumps on the creature's chest are circular in shape and they are quite soft and bouncy" Tsuyu quoted what was written on the paper. Twilight was shocked and frightened by Tsuyu's sudden change in demeanor. "I.. I... I didn't grope you! I was just... just probing you, Tsuyu" said Twilight shakingly while taking a few steps back as Tsuyu slowly approached her. "Please believe me, Tsuyu. I didn't do anything malicious to you while you were unconscious. I just studied you, because nopony has ever seen your kind before" pleaded twilight. Tsuyu stopped in her tracks once she saw the fear in Twilight's eyes. "What... am I doing? I am supposed to be a hero who is feared by villains, not by innocent civilians" thought Tsuyu. She then closed her eyes, took a deep breath and softened her expression. "I'm sorry, Twilight. I didn't mean to scare you like that" said Tsuyu before getting down on both of her knees to seem less intimidating to the lavender pony. "In my world, touching the breasts of a female human without her consent is considered to be an egregious crime. That's why I got mad when I read your report on this paper" said Tsuyu as she held the paper in front of her. Twilight lowered her head in shame and looked away from Tsuyu. "I... I'm sorry Tsuyu. I didn't know that this would upset you this much" said a remorseful Twilight. "It's okay, Twilight. You didn't know. And besides, you did heal my wounds and I'm very grateful for that" said Tsuyu with a warm smile. "Now, you did say I have to get ready for Pinkie Pie's party, right?" "Oh, right, the party" said Twilight after regaining her upbeat demeanor. "Rarity has made a dress for you. It's inside that red box that she gave you." "Okay, I'll try it out" said Tsuyu as she made her way towards the basement. "Wait, Tsuyu" said Twilight. "I think you should take a bath first. Heh heh." added Twilight sheepishly. "Oh..... " said the slightly embarrassed Tsuyu. "Where's the...." "Up stairs to your left" answered Twilight before Tsuyu could voice her question. Tsuyu gave Twilight a nod, before heading upstairs to the bathroom. Being in a completely different dimension can make a person neglect their personal hygiene. Once Tsuyu went upstairs and into the bathroom, an exhausted Spike entered the Golden Oak Library, carrying with him a bag filled with inkwells. "I'm back Twilight and you won't believe how crowded the store was. Roseluck was standing in front of me in line and she told me that the ponies wanted the ink to write letters for their families outside of Ponyville to tell them about the creature" explained Spike. "Oh no, now ponies outside of Ponyville will know about Tsuyu" said a worried Twilight. "Tsuyu? That creature's name is Tsuyu?" asked Spike with a raised brow. Twilight simply gave her dragon assistant a nod. "Is she still down there? Can I meet her?" asked Spike expectantly. Twilight giggled for a bit before answering. "No Spike, she's in the bathroom and you'll meet her once she's done" "Okay, so how was she like?" asked Spike. "She's nice and she was very cooperative in answering my questions" answered Twilight with a smile, but then her smile slowly faded away and was replaced by a sorrowful look on her face. "But she's not from our world, Spike. She came from another dimension or world and the worst part is I don't know how to send her back home" added Twilight. "Really? Woah, I can't imagine how it feels like to be on a different planet away from your friends and family. Is she taking it well?" asked Spike. "Maybe, I'm not really sure. It was pretty hard if not impossible to read her facial expressions when we were in the basement" answered Twilight. Twilight and Spike then looked upwards towards the top of the staircase once they heard the sound of the bathroom door opening and then closing. They then heard the sound of footsteps. "Here she comes, Spike. I think you two might get along" said Twilight. Spike looked towards the stairs and eventually saw Tsuyu coming down from it. The first thing he noticed about her was that the colors of her suit seemed to be more vibrant than before. Is it thanks to the selfless and generous Rarity? of course it is, thought Spike to himself. "That was really strange. The bathtub had a showerhead despite the medieval architecture of this town" thought Tsuyu as she came down the stairs while placing her finger right under her lips. She then noticed a little purple dragon standing besides Twilight. "M... Mineta? No wait, that's not him. Looks like homesickness can play some tricks on your mind" thought Tsuyu. "Tsuyu, this is Spike. He is my number one assistant and my adoptive little brother" said Twilight. "At your service" said Spike while extending his right hand. "So cute!" thought Tsuyu after shaking the little dragon's hand. Spike observed Tsuyu's outfit and it reminded the little dragon of the comic books that he tends to read. "Say..... your outfit kinda looks like a superhero's outfit. Are you a superhero?" asked Spike. Tsuyu was a bit surprised by what Spike asked her. "Do superheroes exist in this world?" thought Tsuyu. "Well, technically not yet. I'm training to be a superhero" answered Tsuyu. "Wait, you're saying in your world humans can train to become heroes?" asked a surprised Twilight. "Yes, in my world heroism is an occupation. Anyone who wants to be a hero must enroll in a heroics academy" answered Tsuyu. "Cool" uttered an astonished Spike. Twilight Sparkle blinked a couple of times. "Why didn't you tell us that when we were in the basement?" asked a slightly annoyed Twilight. "I guess it's because you and your friends were more interested in where I came from and how I arrived at your world that you didn't care to ask about my occupation" answered Tsuyu bluntly. Spike tried to suppress his laughter as Twilight gave him a mild glare. Twilight then turned her attention to Tsuyu. "Augh, we'll discuss this later. Right now we need to get you ready for Pinkie Pie's party. At the party you'll meet a lot of ponies and because they're not used to you, most of their attention will be directed at you, so you'll have to make a good first impression. But don't worry, if you feel too pressured then my friends and I will step in and help you out" explained Twilight. "Don't worry, Twilight. I'm good at dealing with pressure" replied Tsuyu. "Good to hear but still, if you feel overwhelmed then just ask me or my friends for help" said Twilight. Twilight spent a good amount of time explaining the customs of ponies to Tsuyu. Tsuyu didn't find it too hard to follow Twilight's explanation due to there not being too many differences between humans and ponies in terms of customs. ************* Elsewhere in the busy streets of Ponyville, a bluish mare was happily chatting with a pink mare. "Oh, I am so excited for Pinkie Pie's party! It's just what I need to get that monster out of my mind" said the bluish mare cheerfully. "Ummm, Shoeshine...." said the pinkish mare. "You won't believe the nightmares I had after I saw that monster, Cherry Berry. But thank Celestia we have Princess Luna" said Shoeshine. "Yeah, ummm, listen Shoeshine.... " said Cherry Berry before getting interrupted once again by her friend. "Oh and the element bearers too. I don't know what they did with that monster, but as long as it's not in Ponyville my mind will be at ease" added Shoeshine. "SHOESHINE!" shouted Cherry Berry. "What?" said Shoeshine with an annoyed expression on her face. "The Pinkie Pie party that you're so excited about is a Welcome To Ponyville Party for that monster!" said Cherry Berry while frowning at Shoeshine for interrupting her a few times earlier. Shoeshine couldn't help but stare in disbelief at what her friend just said. After a moment of silence, Shoeshine finally spoke. "The element bearers are throwing a party for that.... mo... monster?" said Shoeshine shakingly. Cherry Berry let out a sigh before responding to her friend's concerns. "Listen Shoeshine, I know that you're really scared of that monster, but I think we can trust Princess Twilight and her friends. I mean, they won't allow Pinkie Pie to throw it a party if it was dangerous" said Cherry Berry. "Oh I hope you're right, Cherry Berry. But I don't know what to do. On one hoof I really love Pinkie Pie's parties, but on the other hoof I really don't want to run into that monster again. What will it do if it saw me?" said Shoeshine while shaking in her hooves. Cherry Berry placed her foreleg on Shoeshine's shoulder. "Calm down, it will most likely not do anything to you. And even if it tried anything, I'm sure Twilight can handle her. I mean, come on, she's an alicorn" said Cherry Berry with a reassuring smile. Both mares shared a brief hug before going their separate ways to prepare themselves for tonight's party. ************* It was midnight and Twilight Sparkle was trotting through the empty streets of Ponyville with Spike riding on her back. Tsuyu Asui was walking besides Twilight while wearing the dress that Rarity made for her. "You feeling alright, Tsuyu?" asked Spike. "Yes, I feel fine" answered Tsuyu while looking straight ahead. "Why do you ask?" "Well.... " said Spike as he scratched the back of his head. "It's just that, you seem to be very calm for someone who's about to meet a lot of ponies. I mean, all eyes are literally going to be on you. Aren't you just a little bit nervous?" "No, Spike. I am not. It's just a party after all" replied Tsuyu with a blank face. After a few more minutes of walking/trotting, the group have finally reached their destination. "This is it Tsuyu" said Twilight as she pointed her hoof towards the town hall. "This is where the party will take place." Tsuyu looked at the building and pondered for a bit. "It's beautiful" said Tsuyu. "I'm glad you like it" said Twilight with a smile. She didn't want to admit it, but deep down she did feel pride after hearing a creature from another planet/dimension complement ponykind's architecture. "It reminds me of a doll house that my parents got for me when I was a kid" said Tsuyu. Twilight's smile had dissipated once she heard that, and was replaced by a look of confusion and slight disappointment. One of the biggest buildings if not the biggest building in Ponyville is being compared to a mere toy. Seriously? "Really?" said Twilight. Spike couldn't help but chuckle at the reaction of his mentor/mother/big sister, which prompted her to give him a quick glare. "Are we going in, Twilight?" asked Tsuyu. "Oh, right! Lets go" said Twilight after regaining her composure. The trio then headed to the town hall's main entrance and Twilight then used her telekinesis to open the door. It was extremely dark inside and Tsuyu could barely see anything because of it. "After you Tsuyu" said Twilight while gesturing for Tsuyu to enter. Tsuyu walked right in and continued taking a few more steps before standing still. "Looks like it's going to be one of those 'surprise' parties" thought Tsuyu to herself. Such parties are no surprise to Tsuyu, for her parents had thrown her such parties and she had participated in such parties as well. And just like Tsuyu had expected, the lights turned on and everypony in the building shouted... "SURPRISE!!!" Tsuyu stared blankly at the large number of ponies in front of her. Usually when a surprise party is thrown, the guest of honor shows clear signs of being surprised or astonished if not downright startled. But not Tsuyu, she remained as still as a statue, no wavering nor showing any emotions at all. The scene became silent and the ponies were starting to feel nervous due to Tsuyu being an unknown creature and because of her emotionless face which makes it hard to get a read on her. "Hello, my name is Tsuyu Asui" Tsuyu tried to break the silence, but to no avail. The ponies still had wary looks on their faces. However, luckily for Tsuyu and everypony, Pinkie Pie is here. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie before gesturing to DJ Pon-3 whom promptly places a disc on her turntable. The sound of techno music filled the hall and the ponies started dancing and chatting almost as if they had completely forgotten that Tsuyu exists in their vicinity. While all that was going on, Tsuyu simply stared puzzlingly at the DJ pony operating the turntable. "They have a turntable?" thought Tsuyu to herself. Before she could continue pondering on how a turntable could exist in a medieval society, she felt something soft poke her back. She turned around and she is met by a smiling mint green unicorn with cyan mane and sunglow eyes. "You're not scared of me?" asked Tsuyu. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh" exclaimed the mint green unicorn. "You're actually real! You're a human!" "Wait, you know about humans?" asked Tsuyu. "Of course I do. I'm the only pony here who actually believes that humans exist, but everypony here thinks I'm crazy whenever I bring that subject up" said the mint green pony. "Anyway, you being here totally proves that humans do exist and that I was right all along" said the mint green pony with a smug smile on her face. "Oh, where are my manners, I'm Lyra Heartstrings" Lyra then extended her hoof to Tsuyu and when Tsuyu revealed her name and started to shake Lyra's hoof, Lyra then grabbed Tsuyu's hand with both of her hooves. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Your appendages feel so.. so... so surreal. It's like am holding a bunch of chunky bony worms or something" said Lyra gleefully as she examined each of Tsuyu's fingers. Tsuyu felt uncomfortable and gradually pulled her hand away from Lyra's hooves. "Please don't do that, Lyra. It made me feel uncomfortable" said Tsuyu in a blunt manner. "Heh heh, sorry about that" said Lyra with a sheepish smile. "It's just that, I can't believe that I'm actually talking to and touching a real living breathing human! So tell me, are there other humans? And if yes then where are they?" asked Lyra with a wide smile. Tsuyu let out an audible sigh. "Yes Lyra, there are other humans but they're not here in your world" said Tsuyu. Lyra gave Tsuyu a confused look. "Not in my world?" said Lyra. "You mean.... humans are from another planet? Which means you're also from another PLANET!" Lyra's wide smile returned. "Yes Lyra, I'm from another planet" said Tsuyu. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I thought that humans existed somewhere on Equus. It never came to me that they'd exist on another planet" said Lyra before trotting closer to Tsuyu. "How did you get here? Is it by a spaceblimp or teleportation?" "A guy grabbed my tongue and then I found myself on your planet" answered Tsuyu. Lyra gave Tsuyu a perplexed look. "You're here because a guy grabbed your tongue? Are you serious?" asked Lyra. "I know it sounds weird when I say it like that, but it's true" replied Tsuyu. "Riiiiight... " said Lyra doubtfully. "Anyway, how's human society like? What tools do they use? Do you humans have magic?" Lyra's wide smile returned once again. Tsuyu felt a bit exhausted from Lyra's nonstop questions, but she tried her best to answer them and satisfy the inquisitive pony. As the party went on, Tsuyu was being observed from a distance by a certain blueish pony. ************* "Why in Celestia's name is Lyra talking to that monster?" said Shoeshine with apprehension. "Come on, Shoeshine!" said Cherry Berry while dancing. "Just ignore that monster and try to enjoy the party. I mean, it's not doing anything threatening. It's just talking with Lyra" added Cherry Berry. Shoeshine let out a sigh. "You're right, you're right. I won't let that monster's presence ruin this amazing party for me" said Shoeshine before dancing to Dj Pon-3's sick beats. ************* As the ponies continued to dance to their hearts' content, a certain gray pegasus with a yellow mane was staring at a couple of pegasi with admiration and awe as they danced, spun and flipped in the air. The grey pegasus decided to emulate their moves, so she flew upwards and tried to dance, spin and flip while being airborne. However, unfortunately for her, her spinning made her feel dizzy which resulted in her losing control of her flight. She then found herself heading uncontrollably towards a large chandelier. She tried to steer herself away, but it was too late. She slammed right into the huge and beautifully decorated chandelier. The chandelier started to swing in multiple directions before getting freed from its chain. Its downward descend was incredibly fast, but the ponies below saw it coming and quickly got out of the way, except for one certain dancing bluish pony. At first, Shoeshine didn't notice what was going on, but once the ponies around her quickly dispersed, she felt that something was amiss. She stopped dancing and looked to her left and to her right before looking upwards. She froze in fear at the sight of the chandelier falling down towards her. As her life flashed before her eyes, she felt something wet and slithery wrap itself around her barrel. She then found herself getting pulled backwards swiftly. As she was being pulled towards the back, she saw the chandelier violently crash on the wooden floor, pieces of wood and metal scattered everywhere. Shoeshine gulped once she imagined herself getting squished like Berryshine's berries. After getting pulled further and further to the back, Shoeshine felt the wet and slithery thing unwrap itself from her barrel once all four of her hooves touched the wooden floor. "Oh thank you, Applejack. I don't know why your lasso was slippery and wet, but you saved my life" said Shoeshine before finally turning around to see her heroine. And what she saw absolutely shocked her! "Are you okay?" asked Tsuyu. Shoeshine's body trembled and her pupils shrank. The monster she was trying to avoid is standing right in front of her, looking at her. Tsuyu clearly saw the fear in the blue pony's eyes. "I guess not all of them can be like Lyra" thought Tsuyu. She then looked around and saw that all the ponies at the party were now gazing at her, including the ones she met at the Golden Oak Library. Tsuyu simply stood in her place and waited for the ponies' reaction. "That was awesome!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. And just like that, Tsuyu was showered with the cheers and applauses of the ponies. Some of them complemented her on her heroic action, while others complemented her on her beautiful dress. Some of them even felt comfortable enough to approach her and get a little bit closer to her. Tsuyu simply gave a warm smile. ************* "Wow, that was amazing!" exclaimed Spike. "She saved that pony just like how they do it in the comics" he then turned to his right to look at Twilight whom was looking with admiration at the ponies surrounding Tsuyu. "So, you think she gave a good first impression?" said Spike with a smirk. "She did more than giving a good first impression, Spike. She saved somepony's life and that lead to everypony warming up to her." said Twilight. "And she did it all without requiring any help from me or from my friends" added Twilight. "So, what's next, Twilight?" asked Spike. "Next we'll send a letter to Princess Celestia" answered Twilight. "Oooh, I cant wait for Tsuyu to meet the princess" added Twilight excitedly as she pranced in place for a bit. > Meeting The Princesses > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, Pinkie Pie's "Welcome to Ponyville" party was a success despite the chandelier incident. The music was memorable, the snacks were abundant and the party goers were more than satisfied. But most importantly, the ponies of Ponyville have grown quite fond of Tsuyu Asui thanks to her heroic action. Even as she was leaving the town hall after the party had ended, with Twilight and Spike by her side, the ponies were still praising and cheering for Tsuyu. They would have also continued to follow her if Applejack and Rainbow Dash had not intervened. "Alright ya'll, party's over. Give Tsuyu some space now" said Applejack as she stood on her hind legs and spread out her forelegs in order to block the path that would lead the ponies straight to Tsuyu. "Yeah, you had your time with Tsuyu and the party is over! Now go home" said Rainbow Dash assertively as she flew up and barred a group of pegasi from making their way to Tsuyu via flying. "But if you still wanna fan over somepony then I'm your pony" added Rainbow Dash with a prideful smirk. The pegasi gave Rainbow Dash an unamused look before finally deciding to leave Tsuyu alone and go their separate ways. The ponies who were blocked by Applejack have also decided to leave and head to their houses. ************* "Wow, what a party" said an exhausted Spike once he along with Tsuyu and Twilight entered The Golden Oak Library. "See you two in the morning" added Spike with a loud yawn. "Wait, Spike!" said Twilight. "Before you go to bed, I want you to send a letter to Princess Celestia." "Oh, right. The letter" said Spike before heading towards the nearest shelf and pulling out a quill and parchment. He then walked over to Twilight and Tsuyu. "Ehem" Twilight cleared her throat. "Dear Princess Celestia….." ************* Princess Celestia was in her royal bedroom, taking off her crown, necklace and hoof shoes and placing them on top of her dresser. As she was about to go to bed, a stream of smoke entered her bedroom through an opening near the fireplace and materialized into a parchment right in front of her. The princess picked up the letter via telekinesis and let out a soft chuckle. "Ah Twilight, my faithful student. What is it that you wish to tell me at this late hour" said Princess Celestia with a smile. The content of Twilight's letter made her mentor go through a series of emotions. At first she was intrigued, then worried and then puzzled. After she read a bit more she became saddened by the reported events. Realizing there's still more unread parts in the letter, Princess Celestia decided to continue reading while hoping that things do get better by the end. Luckily for Princess Celestia, things do get better. As she continued reading the letter, she felt relieved, then satisfied and then elated. "I too can't wait to meet her, Twilight" said Princess Celestia as she placed the letter on top of her dresser. ************* A few minutes earlier. "Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" concluded Twilight. Once Spike was done writing down Twilight's words, he opened the library's window, rolled up the parchment and incinerated it with his greenish fire breath. The parchment turned into a trail of smoke and flew far away into the air. Tsuyu was clearly taken aback by this. "W… why did you burn it?" asked the perplexed Tsuyu. Spike then looked at Tsuyu as if she asked him why he eats, drink and sleep. "Um, to send it to the princess" answered Spike with a slightly confused look on his face. "Oh Spike" said Twilight with a chuckle. "Don't forget that Tsuyu isn't from our world. What seems normal to us, might be strange to her and vice versa" added Twilight. "Huh, I see" said Spike. After he pondered for a while, he turned to face Tsuyu. "Then how do you send letters in your world?" asked the little drake. "Well…. " said Tsuyu while placing her index finger under her lip. "We send our letters through the post office." "We have post offices too" said Spike. "However, we also have another and much faster way of sending letters" added Tsuyu. Twilight perked up after she heard what Tsuyu just said. "You mean your world has developed a faster way to send letters WITHOUT MAGIC?" Twilight said the last two words with as much excitement as possible. "Yes" answered Tsuyu. The inquisitive Twilight then pulled out a quill and parchment via her magic and trotted closer to Tsuyu. "Please, you must tell me everything!" pleaded Twilight with a gleaming smile. Despite feeling a bit fatigued after the party and after answering Lyra's many questions, Tsuyu managed to muster up the strength to explain to Twilight what an electronic mail is. And that explanation lead Tsuyu into also explaining what laptops, smartphones and tablets are. Tsuyu was a smart and perceptive girl, but she was not tech-savvy. So her explanations were a bit lacking in technical depths and details. However, Twilight eventually understood that Tsuyu is not what a pony would call an intellectual or a scholar, so she took what she can get from Tsuyu's imprecise explanation about the functions of her world's modern technologies. "Well…. it's still better than nothing" said a slightly disappointed Twilight as she finished writing down the last couple of words of Tsuyu's account on her parchment. "Twilight, can I go to bed now?" said an exhausted Tsuyu. She was struggling to keep her eyes open. "Oh… of course you can Tsuyu" said Twilight after putting her quill and parchment away. "It must have been a very long day for you." "I wonder what gave that away" said Spike with sarcasm before heading upstairs to catch some shuteye. Tsuyu was also about to go catch some shuteye herself. However, unlike Spike, she wasn't heading upstairs and instead she was heading towards the basement. After all, it had the first bed she had ever laid on since she entered this magical world. "Tsuyu, wait!" said Twilight. "You don't have to sleep in the basement. You can sleep upstairs with me and Spike. I'll go get your bed and…. " "It's okay, Twilight" interrupted Tsuyu. "I'm used to sleeping alone in my school's dormitory." "Are you sure?" asked Twilight. Tsuyu replied with a nod. "Okay, but if you change your mind let me know" said Twilight. "Good night, Tsuyu" added Twilight before heading upstairs to finally get some well-deserved shuteye. ************* Tsuyu entered the basement and made her way down the stairs to her bed. She took off the dress that Rarity made for her and put on her turtleneck bodysuit, but without putting on the foot wear, gloves and belts. She then laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling. "Aizawa taught us a lot of things, but he never said anything about what to do if you ever find yourself in a completely different world" thought Tsuyu to herself. "I guess it's because something like this has never happened to anyone before." "Mom, dad, samidare and Satsuki" thought Tsuyu. "I hope you're all doing okay….. I'm not sure when I'll come back or if I can even come back." "I miss everyone" thought Tsuyu to herself with some tears in her eyes. She kept on thinking about her family members and friends until she eventually drifted to sleep. ************* Elsewhere, a dark blue equine with a horn, a pair of wings and a sparkly blue mane and tail was traversing through an ethereal space like world that was filled with twinkling stars and orbs. Lots and lots of orbs. "Resuming my duties by Watching over their dreams is the least I can do after the terror I caused them as Nightmare Moon" said Princess Luna with remorse as she observed the many orbs floating around her. "I hope this will be enough to atone for my misdeeds." As Princess Luna continued to observe the many dreams of ponies through the orbs, hoping to detect and dispose of as many nightmares as possible for her pony subjects, she noticed something quite peculiar inside one of the orbs. "What…. is this?" said Princess Luna as she used her telekinesis to pull the orb that caught her attention a bit closer to her. "What….. is this creature?" said Princess Luna with slightly squinted eyes. She saw in the orb what appears to be a biped creature with light skin and a long dark green hair that only covered its head. The biped was also wearing a grey suit jacket and a miniskirt. It was just standing in what appears to be a common area of some kind. "All of these orbs are from Ponyville, which means that whatever this creature is, it must be sleeping somewhere in Ponyville." concluded Princess Luna. Princess Luna continued to look at this strange creature. "I don't know what this creature is, but I feel as if I have seen it before somewhere. But where?" pondered the princess of the knight. Luna then squinted her eyes more than before as she looked at the strange biped, trying as hard as she can to remember. Then finally, she let out a gasp as soon as she remembered! "SHOSHINE'S NIGHTMARE!" said Princess Luna in shock. "Yesterday Shoeshine was dreaming of being chased by a monster" Luna then looked at the biped in the orb again. "This creature looks eerily similar to that monster, although in a much less ghastly manner." "Is this monster planning on terrorizing my subjects in Ponyville like it did with Shoeshine?" wondered Luna. ************* Tsuyu Asui was inside her school's dormitory, standing in front of a double door. She was also wearing her U.A. High's school uniform. The double door slowly started to open, revealing….. "Big sis!" cried a young child. "S… Satsuki?" said a perplexed Tsuyu. Satsuki ran up to her older sister and wrapped her arms around her waist, giving her a very big hug. "I missed you so much!" said Satsuki. At first, Tsuyu looked at her younger sibling with bewilderment, but then her expression became blank and then slowly started to become more somber. "This is just a dream, but I'll still make the most of it" said Tsuyu as she returned the hug. While the two sisters were hugging each other, the double door started to open once again, revealing…… A dark blue equine? "….. Ribbit?" was all what Tsuyu could utter while looking at the equine with a quizzical tilt. The equine entered the building and took a few trots forward. Her head was slightly lowered and her eyes were closed. Tsuyu looked down and noticed that her little sister is no longer here. She then looked to her left and then to her right, there is no one there but herself and this mysterious equine standing in front of her. Without warning, the blue equine raised its head and opened its white glowing eyes! "THOU DARES FRIGHTEN OUR SUBJECTS!" said the equine with an extremely booming, boisterous and intimidating voice. Tsuyu grimaced, closed her eyes and covered her ears with both hands. This was her first time hearing The Royal Canterlot voice. After that, she heard a series of thunderclaps and she felt a violent gust of wind enter the dormatory. The wind flipped over the tables, tossed away the chairs and catapulted the couches. The room was reduced to ruins. "WHAT IS THOU'S BUSINESS IN PONYVILLE? SPEAK NOW!" said Princess Luna in a commanding voice. Tsuyu then opened her right eye and looked at the alicorn mare. "C… Celestia?" said Tsuyu as she tried to maintain her composure. Princess Luna had a brief puzzled look on her face for a moment after she heard what Tsuyu said. She then brought back her stern look and said in her royal canterlot voice "THOU IS MISTAKEN, CREATURE! WE ARE NOT PRINCESS CELESTIA! WE ARE PRINCESS LUNA!!!" At this point, Tsuyu has completely gained her composure and quickly grew accustomed to this booming voice. She no longer needed to cover her ears. "I'm sorry if I scared your subjects in Ponyville, I really didn't mean to do that" responded Tsuyu in a calm voice. "I was injured and I really needed help." "THOU WAS… injured?" said Princess Luna while looking a bit surprised, the intensity of her royal Canterlot voice has slightly decreased. "Yes, but then I was saved by Twilight Sparkle and her friends" added Tsuyu. "Y.. you know Twilight Sparkle?" said Princess Luna as she completely abandoned her royal Canterlot voice and as her eyes changed back to their normal state. ************* After some time has passed in the dream world. "I am truly sorry, Tsuyu Asui" said Princess Luna after the froggy heroine explained everything to her. "I thought you were a monster who was terrorizing the ponies in Ponyville, but it turned out that you are a true heroine with a noble heart." "It's okay, no harm was done" replied Tsuyu with a smile. "But if you don't mind me asking, how did you find me and enter my dream?" "As the princess of the night, my magic allows me to observe and enter the dreams of anypony and any creature depending on the area of my choosing" explained Luna. "So, you found me because you happened to be observing the dreams in Ponyville?" asked Tsuyu. "That is correct" said Princess Luna. The night princess then remembered something she wanted to ask Tsuyu when the latter told her a bit about her world during her lengthy explanation about what happened to her when she found herself in Equestria. "Now if you don't mind, Tsuyu. I also have a question of my own. Are there individuals in your world who possess the power to enter dreams?" asked Princess Luna. Tsuyu placed her index finger slightly below her mouth and looked upward. "Well, I have read that there are quirks that allows its users to enter peoples' dreams, but in my world entering someone's dream without their consent is a form of trespassing and can be punishable by the law" explained Tsuyu with honesty. "Oh!" said a shocked Princess Luna. "I see. It seems your species have fundamentally different views from ours when it comes to entering dreams." Tsuyu simply gave the night princess a nod. Before Luna could say anything else, she and Tsuyu heard a faint voice. The voice was uttering Tsuyu's name over and over again, becoming a bit louder and louder after each time. The room started to wobble and shake, and the broken chairs, sofas and tables started to move further and further away from the center of the room. "What's going on?" asked Tsuyu. "It seems somepony is trying to wake you up" answered Princess Luna before flying away. "Farewell, Tsuyu. I hope you find your way back to your world." ************* "Tsuyu, Tsuyu, TSUYU!" was all what Tsuyu could hear as she struggled to open her eyes for a bit. Once she opened her eyes, she was met with the face of a purple alicorn just a few inches away from her face. "Wake up, Tsuyu. Wake up!" said a frantic Twilight as she shook the froggy heroine in training with her forelegs. "W… what's going on?" said a slightly shocked Tsuyu with concern. It must be a pretty big emergency if Twilight is acting like this, is what Tsuyu thought. "Princess Celestia just sent a letter saying that she'll be here in just a few minutes" shrieked Twilight while latching on Tsuyu's shoulders. "There's no time, we have to hurry." Twilight then used her telekinesis to lift a startled Tsuyu into the air and then she immediately took her to the bathroom. In the bathroom, Twilight used her magic to turn on the faucet, grab a hoofful of water and splash it against Tsuyu's face multiple times. "Twilight, stop. I can wash my face by myself" said an irritated Tsuyu. "Sorry Tsuyu, but there's no time" replied an anxious Twilight. "I can make you presentable for Princess Celestia much quicker if I use my spells." Twilight then zapped Tsuyu's unkempt hair with a hair grooming spell. The spell made Tsuyu's hair look similar to Twilight Sparkle's mane, but only in shape and not in color. All what Tsuyu could do was stare at the bathroom's mirror in shock after she saw the current state of her hair. Twilight then hurriedly lifted Tsuyu up with her telekinesis and proceeded to take her out of the bathroom and into the main reading room, but not before Tsuyu could whip out her tongue and use it to grab a nearby hair brush and some hair pins. ************* In the main reading room, Tsuyu used the hair brush and hair pins to restore her trademark hairstyle, but not before frowning at Twilight for a bit. However, Twilight did not notice Tsuyu's frown because she was too busy tidying up the library that was littered with books and parchments, parchments that contained a lot of information about Tsuyu's body. Spike, Twilight's number one assistant, approached Tsuyu while holding a plate that had a couple of pancakes on top of it and a glass of orange juice. "Here you go, Tsuyu. I made you some breakfast" said Spike. "Thanks, Spike" said Tsuyu as she took her breakfast and placed it on top of a center table located in the middle of the Golden Oaks Library's main reading room. Spike then noticed Tsuyu frowning at Twilight for a bit. "Hey, ummm, listen, I know that Twilight can be a bit too much sometimes" said Spike. "But she is a very kind and caring pony. So please don't be too hard on her." "I'll try cutting her some slack, but she shouldn't have dragged me like that" replied Tsuyu before taking a bite out of the pancake, and when she did, her sour mood changed for the better. "It tastes….. really good!" said a blissful Tsuyu. "I've never had pancakes this good in my world." "I'm glad you liked it" said Spike with pride. "Not to brag, but if I wasn't too busy being Twilight's number one assistant, I'd probably be winning cooking contests left and right." "Okay… okay. Everything seems to be in order" said an anxious and exhausted Twilight after she finished removing all the mountains of books and parchments that littered the library's floor. The princess of friendship then looked at Tsuyu and saw that she was taking her time eating the pancakes. "Tsuyu, there's no time for breakfast! Princess Celestia will be here in any minute" said Twilight while jittering. The lavender alicorn then shot a beam of magic from her horn at the luscious breakfast, resulting in its swift disappearance from Tsuyu's sight. "Now everything is in order" said Twilight after sighing in relief. Tsuyu stared blankly at her empty plate and glass, while Spike gave Twilight a disapproving look. Tsuyu wanted to savor, from her perspective, the tastiest pancakes she had ever eaten in her entire life. But alas, it is gone now. Now Tsuyu wanted nothing more than to walk up to Twilight and give her a piece of her mind, but fortunately for Twilight, a knock was heard from the library's door. "She's here!" exclaimed Twilight. She quickly used her telekinesis to open the door, revealing……. Derpy Hooves? Derpy rummaged through her bag and picked out of it an envelope with her mouth. The mailpony presented the envelope to Twilight whom grabbed it with her magic. Twilight opened the envelope and after reading its content said in an annoyed tone of voice "Augh, junkmail." Derpy tipped her hat to Twilight and then proceeded to fly away into the clear blue sky. Twilight closed the door, but before she could start trotting away from it, she heard another knock. She let out an annoyed sigh before turning around and opening it, revealing…… PRINCESS CELESTIA! "P.. P… Princess Celestia!" stuttered Twilight for a bit, not expecting it to be her mentor and princess this time. She trotted backwards to allow Princess Celestia to enter the library. Once the monarch was inside, Twilight and Spike bowed down for their princess. "I'm so glad you came" said Twilight. "And I am glad to be here" responded Princess Celestia. Her eyes then became set on the biped. "You must be Tsuyu Asui." Tsuyu Asui was completely enthralled by the princess's appearance. Her multicolored flowing mane, her white coat and her golden attires were really entrancing Tsuyu. She couldn't help but stare at the majestic alicorn. Last time Tsuyu felt something like this was when she first saw All Might on TV. "I take it that you're still not used to alicorns" commented Princess Celestia on the heroine's reaction before chuckling. Tsuyu finally awakened from her trance like state. She gave the princess an apologetic bow. "Sorry about that" apologized Tsuyu. "You look so beautiful and different from your sister." "Wait, what?" said a startled Twilight after she quickly got up from her bow. Celestia couldn't help but chuckle at what Tsuyu just said. "An honest one aren't you?" "Yeah, I tend to say what's on my mind no matter what" replied Tsuyu bluntly. "Wait, wait, wait" interrupted Twilight before focusing her gaze at Tsuyu. "You know Princess Luna?" "Yep, she came to me in my dream" said Tsuyu. "And she told me all what I need to know about you before I left Canterlot" said Princess Celestia. "Tsuyu Asui, I would like to thank you for saving the life of one of my ponies. You truly are a hero." "Ribbit" said Tsuyu with a smile. "Twilight Sparkle has told me about your situation in her letter" said Celestia with a concerned look on her face. "I will do everything in my power to find a way to send you back to your world. It is the least I can do to repay you for saving one of my subjects." "Thanks Princess Celestia" said a grateful and happy Tsuyu. The froggy heroine felt that her chances of returning to her home are less slim, now that the ruler of this land is on her side. "In the meantime" said Princess Celestia while looking at Twilight with a smile. "I'm sure my faithful student and her friends will be more than happy to help you adjust to living in Ponyville." "The ponies here seem really nice" replied Tsuyu while holding her index finger against her mouth. "I don't think fitting in would be too much of a problem." "Especially after you saved that pony at the party last night" added Spike. "My friends and I will do our best to look after Tsuyu, Princess Celestia" said Twilight Sparkle with a confident smile .
