Previous Chapter

Wei wake up normally on the couch with a blanket on top of him. Probably Twilight put it since he jumped into the couch that Spike has shown the location of it and dozed off. Yet no nightmares, good for him considering he didn't need any more stress from yesterday, except that he still in this colourful world. He wondered that Twilight told her according to the book, he stuck in here for a week, but it's been a day here. He yawned as he put the thought about it later and pushed the blanket off then rubbing his eyes feeling refreshed and put on a sitting position. Twilight however, was going downstairs with a rustled mane signifying she just got up and ready for her daily routine, well maybe not.

" Oh, you`re awake. You better get ready to meet Princess Celestia after a few hours." she smiled while combing her mane. Wei remembered what she said yesterday and he feels frightened to meet her. She is like the head of the authority. Hell, she IS one. He started to get up and get ready as he has a toast in his mouth he got from the kitchen when Spike made breakfast while wearing his wedding suit from yesterday when Twilight stopped his tracks.

" Whoa, calm down. Were not meeting her now, I said in a few hours. So you need to relax," Twilight comforting him. She knew he would be scared of her considering that fight from yesterday. The guards already tracked all the way to the source, Wei. She can make her mentor go easy on him for a while but unsure thats going to work.

" And besides, you wore the same clothes for two days. You need to get a new one." Twilight suggested as she levitated a piece of toast covered with a spread of strawberry jam and took a bite.

" There's a boutique not quite far from here. Rarity will get you a new one." She continued while chewing her toast.

" Okay, so who is this Rarity?" Wei questioned.

" She owns the boutique and one of my friends, tell her I sent you," Twilight offered him a small pouch containing fifty-two bits inside. He doesn't know knew currency but he knows it's gold coins. It's probably enough for some clothes.

" Give this to her as a payment, she may not charge you but you'll not know until you asked her, it's near Sugarcube Corner which is a gingerbread house. On your left you'll see it." Twilight described the location.

" Thanks, I'll go now."  Wei waved at her and making sure he ducked this time, yet she was busy to do that. As he was outside he knew getting there is going to be hard to stay anonymous considering the fight broke out yesterday and plus, he is a wanted human. Anypony can tell he's different. So he walked casually as he could to stay low but knew that it isn't going to work. He would wait for the heat to cool down but decided to take the risk.

As he was thinking, he notices that he is near the scene where he fought the ponies. He notices a few ponies that wears Roman armour, possibly a police to him. He has to think quick before the guards there is going to spot him. But before he could react, somepony yelled as loud as she could to alert the guards nearby.

" Oh my Celestia, it's the creature who fought those ponies, Help!" she yelled and then fainted. She alerted the guards nearby as they spotted him near the pony and started to give chase.

" Oh shit," he thought silently and started to ran the opposite direction as the guards chase after him like cats and mouse and yells at him to stop and give up, but he's not giving up that easy so he needs to lose these guards before he could get caught behind bars again. He cut into alleys, corners and barging into and out of houses yet he couldn't shake them off. He thought these these ponies were trained in the army considering they're catching up to him. He thought of an idea that get a dead end that he could climb and hide in one of the basements in some houses but this could quite impossible but desperate times calls for desperate measures. He quickly turn left into an alleyway where he stopped at a dead end turn around regaining his compulsion and seeing the guards have caught up to him.

" Stop right there, criminal scum," one guard warned. None makes the first move afterwards for some time as each guard stared daggers at him. The awkwardness continued until a guard take a hoof closer. That's when Wei reacts and climbed up the wall like parkour. The guards, taken by surprise turn around to catch up with him. As he landed, he spotted a basement near a gingerbread house and ran quickly inside it and pull the lid in to stay covered. The guards nearby are finding him as they talk about where could he be. As the voice died down, he open the lid and check to see any guards around. He thought it's safe and got out to find the boutique he's actually going, only to find its in front of him.

" Well, that's a coincidence," He chuckled. He went inside as a ding of a bell above him rang.

" Coming!" an elegant voice said. As it came down the steps, it reveals a marshmallow white pony with a purple swooping mane and has diamonds as her cutie mark. Yet her face is filled with horror as she quickly went into the kitchen and levitate a knife pointing his face which is nearly too close for his comfort.

"Stand back, I'm warning you! Please don't kill me," The white pony warned as she pointed her knife forward and closer to make him get out and leave her alone.

" Whoa, easy there I only hurt ponies when deserved it, alright? We're clear, here?" Wei persuaded and raising his hands showing he doesn't mean any harm.

" Why should I trust you?" the pony asked. Not wanting him to go into beast mode again.

" You can or you can't. Now, let me grab that knife and we'll talk about it. Deal?" he persuaded further as he grab the knife as the pony let go of her magic and put it near a sewing table as the pony got very tensed.

" See, no fuss about it. So, you must be Rarity, correct?" he jumped to the main subject he was here in the first place.

" How do you know?" Rarity questioned. Wei explains why he's here and how he got here. He even explained how he came to this world in the first place. As he was back to the subject, he asked her to sew a new tuxedo and a pair of fancy pants. She agreed to do it with no cost which make him amazed at her generosity. Not many people have that these days.

" I will finish it in an hour. In the meantime, you could do something in Ponyville." she suggested. She's right, there could be some other things he could her. Unless the heat for him is still hot. He could go visit Rainbow Dash for some training that she wanted to do for a few problems. He went to the place where Rainbow Dash yesterday slipped a note that is apparently an address to him when she left them at the caffe. Her home on the note says it's in the cloud city called ' Cloudsdale' what a weird name. He noticed Rainbow Dash waiting impatiently near a tree under her house. He seriously thought this pony needs training so bad she could even choke on paper or something to get that offer. He'll think about later and then walked uphill to Rainbow Dash.

" Hey, still in that get up?" she sniggered quietly.

" Well, your friend, Rarity will give me a bit similar design for me," Wei said sarcastically.

" Still, I'm ready to get my hooves shaking," she said while punching with the hooves at the air and then hoverd towards him.

" Okay, but I'm not a good teacher. So if you get hurt or your bleeding, I'm not responsible." he put on a fighting stance.

" Whatever, just teach me." she followed suit.

" Try hitting me then." she did what he was told and try hitting him with a high right hook but failed only got grabbed by his arm and punched her in the face causing her recoil.

" How did you that?" she asked while grabbing her hurtful jaw.

" Its counter attack. You need to time it right, when your enemy attacks you then get him by surprise," he explained.

" Nice, now try to hit me, " she dared. He took the shot with a right upper jab but got grabbed and met with a knee in the stomach.

" Very good," he complimented while rubbing his stomach in pain.

"Next, we have to-" he was interrupted by a pony nearby.

" It's nice to see two monkeys fight each other like idiots," the pony insulted. The pony herself is an earthpony while others are pegasus. She is armed with a baseball bat on her back.

" What do you want, Hazelnut?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
