I started to walk around looking in the skies to try to find Dash.I had no such luck.I had wondered for what seemed to be three hours.Until I heard a familiar voice.

"Watch out!"

I turned around to see what was going on but I was met with something knocking me clear onto the ground.I had gotten tangled with it and something was in my mouth.I opened my eyes to see Rainbow Dash tangled with me and some of her mane in my mouth.I quickly spat it out and began to speak.

"Am I glad to see you, Rainbow."I said while we slowly untangled ourselves.

"Why are you happy to see me?"she inquired,"is it because you finally want to say how awesome I am?"

"No, I need help getting stronger and you being an athlete.I thought you might be able to help me"I said as we got up.

Rainbow's cheeks went a little red under her coat,"So, you came to me for help with getting stronger?"

"More like you blasted into me and I then asked."

"Then meet me outside Ponyville near Fluttershy's cottage."she told

"Um, okay."I responded having no idea where Fluttershy's cottage is.She had never mentioned it in the times she visited me while I was recovering.

"In about an hour."

"See ya there,"I said my farewell and hear her say her own.

I walked towards Sweet Apple Acres to see Applejack but on the way traveling to the farmhouse a big red stallion had met me.I was first to speak.

"You must be Big Macintosh, right?"I asked

He nodded at me saying, "Eeyup."

"Is Applejack inside?"

"Nnope."

"So, she must be out bucking the trees then."

"Eeyup."

"Thanks, Big Mac."

"Eeyup."he said as he got back to pulling a cart attached to him.

I walked around the field holding onto the black suit case tight in my right hand and the books in my other hand with the bag of bits strapped around a belt.I hear a loud bang and I walked towards the noise.I saw Applejack bucking some trees and she picked up the buckets she had just filled with apples.

"Hey, Applejack."I greeted her.

"Howdy, pardner,"she whooped back,"So, what brings ya down here to tha farm?"

"I was hoping to buy a bucket of your apples and if it was okay if I could sleep in your barn while I'm in Ponyville."

"Sure, as long as ya got tha bits,"I shook my bag full of bits given to me from Celestia,"Then that'll be twenty bits."Applejack responded.

We traded our items and I put the books and bag of bits in with the bucket.

"Ya can keep the bucket if ya wish."Applejack said.

"Thanks it will help me keep my stuff together,"I thanked her,"Do you mind if I sleep in your barn?"

"Sorry, but its full of equipment.I think Fluttershy might have a guest room.Go check with her if ya need some where to stay."Applejack said

"Thanks, see ya."I waved goodbye.

"Take care pardner."Applejack then got back to bucking trees.

I was on my way over to the outskirts of Ponyville and I noticed Dash had some equipment set up in a nearby field.She waved to me as I passed by.When I arrived at a cottage filled with animals all over, I knocked calmly, remembering she loved animals, and heard an "Eep!" from inside.A moment after Fluttershy opened the door.

"H-hi, Am-amos.What brings y-you here?"she stuttered.

"Applejack said you might have a guest room I could stay in.So, I came out here to ask.But, if you don't want me here I'll understand."I smiled to reassure her and help stop her from stuttering.

"No, it's fine come on in."Fluttershy ushered me in and I instantly saw all the woodland animals roaming around.

"You sure have a lot of fuzzy little creatures don't you?"

"Yea, they're all my friends.Now come on the guest room is this way."she headed upstairs and opened the door on the left.I followed and she spoke again,"my room is right there,"she pointed to the end of the hall,"in case you need anything..."she continued in a low volume.

"Don't worry about it, Fluttershy.I won't be a burden."I said and entered the guest room and put the bucket of apples with the black suitcase in the closet and left the bag of bits on my side, clipped to my belt.

"Oh, o-okay."she replied.

"Anyways, I gotta go see Dash out in the field.She is gonna help me get in physical shape from all those years of malnourishment.So, see ya Fluttershy."I said then petted her head in which she blushed.

"Bye."she responded

I walked out into the field and there was a dirt track with some equipment in the middle of it.I could see two dumbbells, a barbell with a bench, different sized jump-ropes, and some hurdles.

"Hey, Amos.I see you settled in Fluttershy's guest room."Rainbow Dash said.

"Yea.So, let's get to training.I really want to get some strength and speed."

"Alright.First, run the track I want to time your intial speed so we can see how much you improved."Dash said.

I took my place on the dirt track that would be just like an asphalt but it was dirt.Dash put the whistle to her lips and waited a moment.I was on one foot.That leg was at a ninety degrees angle and my other was straight.The toes of the other foot was put on the ground.I had my arms resting on top of the leg in front of me which was the one I bent at ninety degrees.Dash blew the whistle and at that second I took off pushing my hands down on my leg while i pushed with the leg and had my foot behind me push forward.This made me start off very fast.Unfortunately, I couldn't keep going that fast because I would have tripped knowing I couldn't keep up with my feet.I slowed a little going fast but not too fast and Dash was flying right next to me upside down.

"You call that fast?Go faster, you slowpoke."she encouraged and I sped up determined to do my best.

Dash flew a little faster beside me to keep up even though she could zoom past me fast.I had to get two laps in before she would stop the timer.After one and a half laps I was jogging sweat pouring down my face as I wiped it away before it stung my eyes.Dash had stopped the watch when I reached the dirt line.

"Three minutes and forty-nine point two seconds.About average for normal ponies but you need to go a little faster.Just keep running the track for an hour and we will take it to something else from there."she said.

"Alright."I got back on the track and just continued jogging.I would speed up every now and then but go back down to a jog.I didn't notice Fluttershy coming up to Dash.

"So, do you think he's doing good?He was pretty skinny when we first saw him in Canterlot."Fluttershy asked.

"He is fine.But, back on his world his parents only fed him a two slices of bread and a glass of water every other day.And now he is back to health somewhat.He did go slower than average ponies run.But, again, he isn't our species."Dash responded.

"Oh, okay."Fluttershy said.

I looked over and waved at her to which she blushed.I couldn't see it since I was on the other end of the track.She only hid behind her mane that covered half of her face and waved back.The two continued there conversation before I came back over.They were talking quietly so I couldn't hear them over my heavy steps.

.Dash looked back down at her watch and the time had said four in the afternoon.Dash called out to me.

"Great work, Amos.Now tomorrow we will work on your strength."she then covered the equipment with a grey trap and nailed spikes into the ground through the holes in the tarp to keep it down.

"O....kay.."I said panting hard,"I..am gonna...head...back inside...to eat..."I huffed and walked back inside the cottage and Rainbow and Fluttershy talked a little but then Dash took off to her own cloud house and Fluttershy walked into the house while I was sitting on my bed with two apples to the left of me and one I was furiously chomping down on happy to get some food.Fluttershy walked into my room holding a glass of water in her wing.

"I-I brought you some water.I th-thought you might need some."she said.

"Thanks,"She handed me the glass and I gladly took it and drank it down fast feeling much better,"you didn't have to you know."

"But I wanted to...if that's okay.."she said obviously fitting her name.

I laughed a bit and rubbed her head ruffling her mane a little,"Again, thank you."

I had finished two apples and was on my third.The other two I put in a trash can at the door.Fluttershy began to speak.

"Yo-You're welcome.I was going to c-cook dinner soon."

"Cook it for yourself.I don't want to be too much of a burden.I can feed myself."I replied

The clock on the wall said five thirty and I began to speak again,"I am gonna head to bed early.I am so tired and I got to look for some job."I laid down and continued,"So, goodnight."

"G-Goodnight"Fluttershy responded and I could see the blush under her butter yellow coat and she left and turned off the bedroom light and the closed the door for me as I closed the curtains to the window next to the bedand closed my eyes.

"I'm glad I'm here."I said before the cool embrace of sleep took me.

Apparently Fluttershy heard what I said and smiled to herself as she went down to cook something for herself and the feed the animals.

I awoke to and looked to the clock and spoke in a soft voice,"Dead midnight?"I then headed outside to breath some night air I saw a bunny at the bottom of the stares glaring at me.I just smiled at him and walked right past the little ball of white fluff.I opened the front door and walked out breathing in the night air in one huge puff before expelling it from my lungs.A voice spoke up from above me.

"Hello, Amos.What brings thou out here?"

"Hi, Luna.I just went out here to get some fresh night air."

"So you really do like our nights?"she asked then jumped down from the roof landing in front of me gracefully.

"Yep.They are beautiful.Unlike Earth's nights.They are so washy.But these...are so clear."

"We're so glad to see you enjoy our nights."

"Anyways, I should head back inside and try to get some sleep."I said returning inside.

"We bid you farewell."Luna said as she flew off.

I entered again and the bunny greeted me with a glare to which I just ignored and went back to my room.I plopped onto it staring up at the ceiling before casting myself into the black abyss...
