After staring at each other for a minute the one who Wheatley guessed was the leader because she had both wings and a horn spoke up. "Are you alright? You fell from space!" the voice was feminine and sounded concerned.

"Spaaaaaace." the Space Core said, losing enthusiasm around the end. The Adventure Core made another try at standing up and figured it out.

"Don't worry baby, I fall from space before breakfast every day." he said, trying to sound manly. The rest of the cores had now stood up and the Fact Core figured out how to face-hoof.

"Fact: He has never fell from space before, and no matter what he tells you, he did not partake in ANY adventuring." the pink maned stallion said while shaking his head slowly.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am the personal student of Princess Celestia." Twilight said proudly.

"My name's Rick." the Adventure Core/Rick said, extending his hoof. "Pleasure to meet you."

"I am Wheatley, and according to an evil robot woman *cough* GLaDOS *cough* I am the dumbest moron to ever live." Wheatley said, trying and failing to bow, ending with his nose stuck in a hole in the ground. A couple of them giggled.

"You don't seem stupid to me, why would anypony call you stupid?" Twilight asked Wheatley.

"I was created by some of the greatest minds of my world, to be stupid. My job was to lower the intelligence of an AI named Glad0s." Wheatley replied with a sigh. Now the orange one spoke up.

"What is an AI? Mah name's Applejack by the way." she said.

"Fact: AI stands for artificial intelligence, created by humans they were used for making things easier." the Fat Core piped up. This made Twilight very curious.

"Did you say humans?" she asked.

"Yes he did, why?" Wheatley asked her.

"Humans are just myths, are they not?" This took Wheatley by surprise.

"Humans are not a myth, they created us!" he said, gesturing to the other three stallions standing around him, who in turn waved.

"Yeah Twilight!If humans didn't exist we wouldn't either!" the pink pony said.

"Are you also cores?" Wheatley asked them.

"What is a core darling?" the white unicorn asked.

"I see we have a lot of explaining ahead of us. Would you like to come with us to the gala?" Twilight asked them.

"Gala?" the cores asked at once.

"You don't know about the gala? We DO have a lot of explaining ahead of us!" the white one said while gasping.

"Follow us, i'm sure the princess wouldn't mind us bringing you four along, especially after you survived a fall from space without a scratch." Twilight said, walking away.

"One little question, how do you walk?" Wheatley asked with a weak smile.

0=0=0

Twilight was simply fascinated with these four strange stallion's talk of technology. Even the princesses seemed intrigued, and they have seen everything.

"So that is our story, can you tell us a little about your world?" Wheatley asked the princesses.

"Well, Wheatley, there is too much about our world that is alien to you to explain in a short amount of time, so I have decided to send each of you 'cores' with one of the elements of harmony, which are the girls you just met." Celestia said, pointing at the six mares sitting next to the cores. "Wheatley, you will be staying with Fluttershy. Rick, you will be staying with Twilight. Fact Core will be staying with Pinkiepie and Space core will stay with Rainbowdash. Now they will teach you how to fly in the case of Space and Wheatley, and magic in the case of Rick and Fact." Celestia said.

"But how will I teach magic? I'm an earth pony!" Pinkie asked Celestia.

"He will take lessons from Rarity in magic. Also, seeing as you don't have cutie marks yet I also want you to try and get those." Celestia continued.

"What is a cutie mark? Are they the tattoos on everyone's butt?" Wheatley asked.

"A cutie mark comes about when a pony finds their true and special talent." Twilight explained.

"Oh! So Wheatley yours should be easy! Just fail at math!" Rick said, earning a frown from everypony in the room.

"You shouldn't talk that way about your friends." Twilight said to Rick.

"Friends, no. I prefer the term 'forced co-workers' over friends." Rick said, once again getting frowns from everypony.

"With all of that out of the way, enjoy the gala my little ponies!" Celestia said, making all of the girls cheer.

"Come on Wheatley, I want to show you the Canterlot gardens! They have so many wonderful animals, and i'm sure I can talk with them now!" Fluttershy said excitedly.

"Come on Facty! Lets go paaaaarrrrtaaayyyy!" Pinkie yelled, grabbing 'Facty' and hopping out of the room.

"Come on Space, I wanna show you how you really fly!" Rainbowdash said, leading Space out.

"Will we fly in space? I like space! Do you want to know what I like most about space? The space." he said as he walked out.

"I hope they all don't get into too much trouble." Twilight said. "Come on, lets go and make sure they don't wreck the place again." she walked out of the room with Rick in tow.

"I don't think this will end well." Spike said to Celestia.

"If things get out of hoof I will step in Spike, you have nothing to worry about." Celestia replied.
