On my way to Ponyville, I sat next to Fluttershy and began to speak with four suitcases next to me. I didn't trust others I didn't know well with my luggage.

"Ya know Fluttershy. I was thinking."I said

"What is it, Amos?"she said turning from the window.

"If I could stay with you again. I'll help out as much as I can and I won't get in your way."

She giggled for a fraction a of a second,"Amos, you won't be in my way, not the slightest. I actually enjoy your company, you're a great friend."

"Oh yea.Forgot about that for the moment."

I spent some time chatting with fluttershy before heading to a lone seat to compile my thoughts on what had transpired.

I heard the door open and caught a glimpse of what seemed to be Fancy Pants in the car over. I stood and walked over to the car door. Rainbow spoke up.

"And where are you going?"

"To see an old friend." I answered and opened the car door. I walked over to Fancy Pants and sat down beside him.

He looked over seeming to be annoyed,"Sir, there are plenty of other seats. Could you choose ano-" he stopped mid-sentence once he turned and saw my face. I smiled at him.

"So, how have you been, Fancy Pants?"I asked.

"Amos? I haven't seen you in forever. I'm doing just great and you?"

"Simply fantastic. I am finally fitting in and I'm on my way to move in at Ponyville."

"Why would you ever want to leave Canterlot Castle?"

"Because I have my dreams here in Equestria."

"Of course. And you have aged faster than us. How old are you now?"

"Well your years are off from my world's...I'm thirteen according to my calendars. But it must be due to the magic fields."

"That would make sense."

"So, Fancy Pants, care to join me with my other friends? You looked bored back here with no one to talk to."

"How grand. I would love to."He responded.

We both stood and opened the car door where the other six elements were. I opened the door and the six looked at me then Fancy Pants. Rarity was first to speak.

"Fancy Pants?"She questioned.

"Rarity it is good to see you again,"He said as he walked over and sat with her,"How are your fashion lines coming along?"

"Simple magnificent."

"Fancy pants, you wouldn't mind telling them how you met me would you?"

"Not at all."he replied

I walked over back to an empty seat while the others crowded around Fancy Pants listening in. I had time to think. But, I didn't get to really think. My mind was very empty through the rest of the ride.

Soon the train arrived in Ponyville. We had all said our goodbyes and Fancy was staying on since he had to go to Manehattan to see family.

We all stepped off the train and I had my luggage stacked up in front of my the black suitcase carrying the expertly crafted sword on top. We made small talk along the way to each other's house and we slowly split off until it was just me and Fluttershy heading to her cottage.

I quickly set up and put up the decor I used to have in my room.I had a guitar that was magically enchanted to make electric guitar sounds.I used it to play the few songs I recalled from earth and also to play some tunes I wanted to .I hung up my sword on the hanger that I once again put on the wall above my bed. I put the clothes Rarity had made for me then plopped on the bed and closed my eyes thinking. Nightfall came and I heard crickets come from outside my window. I heard a voice at my door.

"Amos, you don't mind if I come in, do you?"

"Not at all. I enjoy being around you, Fluttershy. You are my best friend here." I responded with my eyes still closed. I heard her walk over to the bed and sit down next to me.

"Is anything wrong? You are really quiet." Fluttershy sounded concerned.

"It's just amazing.How my life turned around this fast.From close to horrid death to having a kind and caring friend to talk to . It is just so much to take in. Especially since I must stay here since I am bound by my Element of Sympathy..."I said and opened my eyes looking at her.

Fluttershy was blushing but didn't look away,"Well, I am here for you. Always."she said sweetly.

I smiled and hugged her tight. She was a little surprised at the sudden movement, but wrapped her hooves around me knowing the stress I was going through.

For the few next years, since my aging worked a small fraction faster here, life went easy.Fluttershy and me had started growing close together, being very flirtatious around each other even in front of the others when we would meet up. We took to dating before that of course. I had learned all I could from the elements and the books on them were altered according to the new element that had shown up, mine. I kept on Rainbow Dash's schedule and kept pushing myself harder like she said. We even raced on the ground. I was barely able to keep up with her.I was getting very fast and agile but not much strength. I did regain the amount of strength normal for humans and a little more, but not overly needed muscles. Twilight had helped me master this flame magic and I was able to keep it up for an hour. I helped Applejack when harvesting season came around for extra bits and I helped cook for some stores since my fingers were useful.I even baked cupcakes for Pinkie.Rarity would sometimes make new clothes for me since I kept growing. These times I paid. She even made a Tuxedo for me as I recalled some people wearing them. I would go outside and practice with my sword every other day. Life was good...
