*knock knock*

'Who is that this early in the morning?' You thought to yourself. You had only been asleep for what seemed like seconds, but it had been more along the lines of ten hours. You looked out of the window that was beside your bed and saw the sun was about half way through the sky, so it was about noon. It was too damn early for company.

*knock knock*

You pulled you pillow over your head to block out the pounding at your door with a resentment towards the evil creature interrupting your peaceful slumber.

*knock knock*

You hated yourself for staying up so late. You had gone out with a few of your girlfriends (marefriends?) to some new club on the outskirts of Ponyville. Nothing more than a fuzziness came to mind when you tried to picture last nights events.

*knock knock*

You decided to get up, most to your chargin, and open the accursed entryway to your not so humble abode.

"I'm coming!" You shouted, only to curse your idiocy at agitating your migraine.That was your price to pay for the "Mare's night out" you had participated in the previous night.

You reluctantly pulled the door open and had to quickly shut your eyes from the sun’s painful rays. "I have a delivery for a Miss. Bon Bon," said a voice from behind the bright light. "I'm her housemate," you responded after letting your eyes adjust to the brightness of the daylight. He pulled out a notepad and replied. "Okie dokie then, if would just sign here and here," said the now visible dark grey stallion while pointing to a few lines on the notepad he held out in front of him with his hoof.

Grabbing the pen with your magic from the top of the notepad, you signed your name and replaced the writing utensil. He gave a small smile and with a sigh of relief, released the large cart from his back.

You turned to inspect what your friend had ordered and saw a cart with a rather sizable amount of hay. You started to wonder why she would buy so much at once until you heard the sounds of somepony moaning from it. You trotted up to the pile and started inspecting it. The moaning had stopped during your inspection and a strange creature sat up through the hay and brought a claw-like appendage to its head.

"What the hell happened?" Asked the creature. It started looking around when its eyes stopped on you. It opened its mouth to say something only to be silenced by a rock to the head.

You had just been staring at the creature when several thoughts came to your mind, "One, what is this thing, two, why is it in Bon Bon's hay, and three, where did that rock come from?" The creature wasn't going anywhere now, so you decide to investigate the rock situation. You look around for the origin of the flying rock to find a very scared looking cream colored mare with a dark purple and pink mane.

"Bon Bon! What the hay!? Why’d you do that!?" You shouted at her, a little peeved that she would be so hasty as to throw a rock at somepony before giving them a chance to explain themselves, and once again, causing yourself to wince and rub your temple.

"What was that thing?" She asked in a worried manner, ignoring your question.

"We might have known by now if you hadn't bashed its head in with a rock," you retorted with a bit of venom in your voice. "Come on and help me get it inside so I can take a look at it," you said as you started to push the cart around your the back of your house.

"Are you crazy?! That thing could be dangerous! For all we know, it could control some sort of evil magic!" She Exclaimed as she started following you, sounding very scared.

"It could also be very hurt and need our help, thanks to you," you replied in a demanding tone. Bon Bon face fell at this. You stopped pushing the cart, and looked at her and saw a tear rolling down her muzzle.

"Listen Bon Bon I-" You started to say, but stopped. You knew that she was probably just looking out for you, but this poor creature didn't do anything that you knew of, so you were shocked to see that Bon Bon chucked a rather large rock at it.

You nuzzled her neck and said "Listen, I know you were scared, but you shouldn't have just attacked it without knowing its intentions. For all we know, it could be lost or scared. So what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry for snapping at you like that."

Bon Bon looked up at you with watery eyes and  a small smile. "You're right. I shouldn't have done what I did, but I was scared that thing was going to hurt you. Now lets get it inside before anypony else sees it." With that, you and Bon Bon pushed the cart behind your house and pulled the large creature out of the hay stack.

A few hours earlier

* * * * * P.O.V: Red Hearts * * * * *

"Hehehe. First night in Equestria and you already made a friend, not bad. But you did manage to rile up The Elements of Harmony in the process, so I would not count it as a win just yet," said a far-off voice.

"Hmm?" You asked sleepily.

"Come now, you are in my dream realm, but you still want to sleep? I am not certain if it is your head injury, or you are just being lazy," said the still far-off yet somewhat familiar voice.

You picked yourself up into a sitting position and looked around. You see a familiar black void all around you. You try to stand but a searing hot pain shoots through your skull, so you decide to remain seated.

"Hello?" You called into the void.

"Greetings. I am glad to see you are awake."

"Who said that!?" You half asked, half yelled into the blackness.

"..."

"Hello!?"

"Strange, you call out a greeting and are surprised to be greeted in return. You humans are so intriguing." Said a now very familiar voice.

"Princess Luna?" You asked sheepishly.

"It seems you have figured it out. I was beginning to wonder if you ever would," she said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Hahaha, very funny. Now can you fill me in on what happened? I don't remember much." You asked in an annoyed, but playful voice.

Hmmm when did you become so friendly with the princess?

"I would love to," she said with a snicker in her voice.

She started to tell you of the nights events, starting from when you were talking to Trixie, she then told you that you had accidentally insulted her by calling her useless. Next was when The Elements came into the clearing and saw her yelling and crying and assumed the worst. She went on to tell you about the chase and how you so stupidly jumped three stories into a pile of hay and banged your head of a toolbox.

After hearing all of that all you could do was sit there and let a blank expression hold your face.

"Are you okay?" Asked the Princess.

"I regret nothing." You couldn't see it, but you just know she facehoofed.

"Well that is all well and good, but you should probably wake up soon. It is rude to keep a lady waiting." Said the Princess in a coy sort of way.

"What do you-" You started to ask, but you get interrupted by a pulling sensation in your chest. With a flash of light you wake to your vision filled with hay.

You pulled yourself out from the pile and asked, "What the hell happened?" You turned your head to get a better grasp on your surroundings and spot a mint green unicorn with a light green mane with a white stripe.

You were about to ask where you were, but a sharp pain to the side of your head took that chance away. You were knocked out yet again.

You dreamt of green exploding monsters, squidwards and butter.

I am really sorry about the lateness of this chapter. There is a bunch of reasons why I didn't get this out sooner, but it was mostly due to my lack of a computer. My old laptop mysteriously snapped in two for COMPLETELY unexplainable reasons.

Again, I am really sorry about release date and length. I wanted to get this out as fast as I could so I split it in two.

I am working on a new story that I think will be even better that this one, but it won't be released for awhile.

Oh and one more thing, I am in desperate need of pre-readers. Someone who will read the story before editation to give me better ideas on how to make the chapter sound better and stuff like that. Any help would be great.

And again, thanks for reading!

P.S: Thanks to macandchees6 for editing!
