Farel's eyes shot open. He found himself in a bed that he didn't recognize, It wasn't the old tough green military bed that he always slept in at base that was for sure. This bed was so soft that he felt like he never wanted to get out of it, it also had dark blue sheets and covers, Farel's favorite color.

He sat up getting a better look at the room he was in. It was a small bedroom with its own bookshelf and desk that were piled high with books. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, except they weren't hands they were hooves.

The events of the past two days came rushing back to him like a flood. He thought he had had some crazy fucked up dream, but nope, whatever god was in this world just kept on making his life better and better. Farel sighed and peeled back the covers, instantly regretting it.

"It has got to be at least -2 in here." he whispered to himself. He couldn't actually tell the temperature because the blankets had such a warmth to them, that he couldn't feel the outside world. He got up and went to the restroom to take care of his business. Once he was finished he washed his hooves and gazed into the mirror. What stared back at him made him sigh with relief. " If I'm going to stay in this world I may as well look damn good." he thought smugly.

Farel walked downstairs to find he was in Twilight's Tree Library, he actually remembered where he was which he thought was a good way to start the day. He walked in to the kitchen to find a note left on the table with the name Farel written on it.

Dear Farel,

I'm going down to Sugar Cube Corner for some breakfast with my friends. Make yourself at home and when you feel ready come on down so I can properly introduce you to them. There should be a saddle bag with a map and some bits for you to bring with you.

-Twilight

Farel was thankful that he had been invited to get something to eat because he was hungry out of his mind. He walked over to his suit of armor and detached the wrist command modual and put it on. He took out the map of the town called Ponyville. He located the bakery, picked up his saddle and was out the door faster than you could say "fire".

When Farel walked outside he was greeted with a fine summer day. The sun was shining, a few kids ran around causing mischief, and adults lounged about at the wide selection of shops, restaurants, and cafes. His mood darkened, " If earth was half as peaceful as this then it would be heaven." he thought. He walked slowly at first taking in the scenery and breathing in the fresh summer air. He then remembered why he had come out and made a mad dash for the little bakery.

He looked at the building, it was a quaint little cafe/bakery with smells coming out of it that made Farel's mouth water. He walked inside and instantly was hit with the same smells except maximized times ten. He walked up to the counter was greeted by a plump blue mare with a bubblegum pink mane.

"What can I get for ya darling." she asked giving him a warm smile.

"Umm.... could I get a chocolate chip cookie with a medium coffee." he asked while yawning.

"That'll be seven bits." she said as if she had memorized the number by heart.

He reached into his bag and pulled out seven small gold coins which he figured to be the currency. He handed them to the mare and she smiled and said "It'll be right out sir."

He nodded in acknowledgement and sat down at one of the cafe tables. He was still half asleep and didn't notice six pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Hey Farel come over here and meet my friends." said Twilight waving at him. Farel got up and walked over to to a large booth in corner were the six of them were sitting.

"Everyone this is Farel, the guy that fell from the sky." she said smiling.

Farel was about to say hi when he was tackled by a pink blur. "OHMYGOSH A NEW PONY IN PONYVILLE I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MAKE YOU A WELCOME TO PONYVILLE PARTY GOT TO GO SEE YA LATER." the hyperactive mare said while sprinting out the door.

"What was that." Farel said still not knowing what happened. "That was Pinky Pie the most silly pony in Ponyville. Twilight said.

"This is Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash." Twilight continued gesturing to each of her friends.

Farel shook each of there hooves ending with Rainbow Dash. "Well you seem to be taking this really well." Farel said to her.

"What do you mean." asked Rainbow Dash feeling confused. "Well considering you just shook the hoof of the Spartan that you punched in the face two days ago, you seem to think we can instantly be friends." Farel said coldly.

Rainbow's eyes widened in realization. She slowly reached for the knife sitting on the table beside. "You........ you stay away from me." she said with just a hint of fear in her voice.

"Don't worry i'm not going to harm you, I tried to kill you and for that I am truly sorry." Farel said. He got up which made Rainbow Dash jump and throw her knife. The knife dug itself firmly in Farel's shoulder. Farel sighed and wrapped his hoof around it and pulled it free, he then set it in front of Rainbow Dash still covered in his blood. "Nice shot" he said coldly.

All five of the mares were gaping at what had just happened. "Tell the owner of this cafe she can keep her food and the money that goes with it, I'm going to go find a quiet place to sleep." said Farel still looking at Rainbow Dash.

He then calmly turned around and walked out the door.

Farel lay on his back on the top of a cloud. (He had figured out how to fly extremely quickly.) He lay there pondering whether or not he handled the situation properly. He felt that he wanted to be friends with Rainbow Dash, but something was holding him back. He didn't know if he would ever forgive the Rainbow maned mare for what she had done.

Farel heard the soft fluttering of wings and the sound of hooves touching down on the cloud he was on. He looked up to see a certain Rainbow maned mare staring at him with a sad look on her face.

"What ever it is you're going to say say it." Farel said with noticeable anger in his voice.

"Listen I'm sorry for what I did today you just startled me that's all." she said trying to ease a smile on to her face.

"I guess I must have startled you two days ago when you punched in my open wound and made me black out in pain." Farel said standing up and staring daggers at the mare.

Rainbow Dash took a deliberate step away from the stallion standing in front of with a frightened look on her face.
"I......I....." she started to say but was interrupted by something unexpected.

"I'm sorry." Farel said calming down. He realized he would just make matters worse if he stayed mad at the mare.
Farel was about to say something else but was cut short by screaming heard from the ground.

"HYDRA!!!!!!! CELESTIA HELP US." somepony yelled.
Farel looked over the edge of the cloud to see horrible sight. There in the middle of town was a giant serpent spitting fire at anything and everything.

Farel tapped three buttons on his wrist command unit and jumped off the cloud.
