I was closet brony, so no one knew I watched Friendship is Magic. But right there....in my backyard was. A lavender unicorn..Laying unconscious...I took her inside and laid her on my bed putting my blanket over her. I returned downstairs to figure out what to do. My phone rang as I was at the bottom of the stairs..it was Mark.

"Dude, I can't believe you killed him. We all know you must be still depressed after what you realized.... So, cheer up man."He said.

"I just did about a minute ago. I'll come back to school tomorrow. You didn't tell anyone what I did, correct?"

"Yea we didn't tell a soul. When you get back to school though prepare for homework. And tell us why you are so happy all of a sudden when you get back, kay."

"Of course. Thanks, man.I owe you one.See ya."

"Bye."

I heard shuffling upstairs and headed into my room. Twilight was up, but I didn't dare say her name without her friends to hold her back.

"Hey..." I said calmly and in a low volume. I was half scared for my life at the moment. I think she saw my fear when she turned around.

"Who are you, what are you, and where am I!?"she yelled.

I entered the room slowly and closed the door I crouched so I was at her eye level,"I'm Zach Butchfield. I'm seventeen years old and I'm a human. You are on Earth, a planet in our Solar System able to sustain life." I said calm still fearing she will zap me with a magic bolt.

"Okay." she responded.

"I'm not going to hurt you. You have my word. But don't yell. I don't need my neighbors thinking I'm crazy. And you can't let anyone see you. You aren't natural to this world and could get sent off to be tested upon if other people were to discover you."

"I'll keep it down then,"she replied,"And I understand not to go outside or be seen."

"Now, can you tell me about you?" I said without fear.

"Yes. I'm a unicorn. My name is Twilight Sparkle. I come from Equestria."

"I guess I'll have to take care of you till we can figure out how to get you home." I said.

"Oh, I arrived here by using a magic spell that turned terribly wrong. I guess I used too much of a long distance teleportation to a place I didn't know."

"Its okay," I moved closer to her a bit and sat down instead of crouching,"I'll keep you safe here. I'm sure someone will come for you. And how old are you? I told you my age."

"I'm fifteen years old." she replied.

"And this magic that you use. We don't have it here so don't let anyone see you use it, okay? Now if you need something just let me know. The bathroom is the door right across from this room. Which this is my room."

"Okay." she said and I continued.

"I will be here tomorrow all day. But Sunday my parents will be back from their third honeymoon. Monday through Friday I won't be here unless my school cancels."

"Alright. Don't worry nothing bad will happen." Twilight said.

"Anyways you are free to go anywhere around the house unless someone is here or there is a knock on the door. If so then hide in my bedroom. I will let you know if someone is here. Right now, no one is so you can feel free to look around." I said

She didn't respond but just rather opened the door with her magic and walked outside my room to check the bathroom first. After she saw it was your ordinary bathroom she checked downstairs where the living room, kitchen, and dining room was. She then went back upstairs into my parents room and saw nothing of particular interest she then went back into my room. She spoke up as she sat down on my bed with me.

"So, do you have any books?" I knew that question was coming.

"Only a dictionary and thesaurus,"I replied and her head went down I spoke quickly,"But we can watch some information TV channels."

"What's a TV?" she asked

"Lemme show you." I grabbed my laptop on which had my thoughts and ideas. I headed downstairs to our living room.

I turned on the TV and flipped off the food network and flipped to the history channel,"This is a TV or television if you fancy. It picks up signals and shows us what is going on and being said on the screen at that area. It can also play games and movies if you have the equipment for it."I said,"Anything you need.

"Nope." Twilight responded listening to every word from the television which was talking about occurrences with unnatural creatures.

"You know you are welcome to sit on the couch, right?"

"Oh, I can?"

"Of course, you are like a guest anyways." I said and with that she hopped on the couched and laid down watching the TV like it was the most interesting thing ever. I opened my laptop and begin typing down my thoughts trying to sort out each emotion I had using Microsoft Word.

"What's that?" Twilight asked quizzically.

"Its a laptop. You can browse many things with it, shop, play games, and even record stuff. Which is what I am doing now."I replied. She looked back at the TV.

There was a knock on the door after about forty minutes,"Quick, go up to my bedroom and hide."

She did as I said running up the stairs. Thankfully we had carpet and she wasn't heard too much. I heard my door close. I got up and answered the door. Mark was there.

"Oh thank god. You had me scared for a minute."

"Why would I scare you? Anyways, what made you so damn happy?"

"First you will need to know something that I have hidden from everyone. Don't tell anyone, but the others."Mark nodded his head as I continued my story,"I am a brony."

"So? Doesn't make it any different. Now what is it that made you happy?"

"I will show you, come on." I said then led him upstairs,"You gotta trust me on this Mark. Don't tell the other guys they don't know how to keep their traps shut." he nodded knowing too well. I opened the door and called.

"Twilight?"

She stepped out from under the bed and asked,"Is he one of your friends?"

"I-I am...."Mark was completely shocked.

"Well, in that case, I'm Twilight Sparkle and you are?"

"Mark." he calmed down.

"Don't worry, Twilight, he won't tell a soul."Mark nodded completely calm,"Anyways, I was also hoping you would help me hide her so she doesn't get sent off to a lab and you know.."I drifted off.

"I would help you through anything, man. You know I would." Mark responded

"So do you have any idea's on how to keep me hidden, Mark." Twilight inquired.

"Well, if we needed a place to fall back on you could stay in my basement. No one goes down there,but me." he replied.

"That's not that bad. Except for how would we get her over there?"I asked.

"Zach, did you forget I had a pickup truck given to me for my last birthday."

"Nope...didn't forget."it was obvious I was lieing.

"Anyways, I'll be going now my mom is probably worrying her head about me. You know how she is." with that Mark left through the front door and I locked it behind him. Twilight headed back down stairs and laid on the couch watching the TV again.

I finished my thoughts on my laptop and closed it then went back upstairs to put it on the charger. I heard Twilight call from downstairs.

"Hey, Zach."

"Yea?" I answered as I went back down the stairs.

"I'm getting hungry...and thirsty."

"On it." I said and went into the kitchen. I grabbed two apples and a glas of water. She floated the items using her magic to her and started to eat and drink, but stopped and said.

"Thank you." she blushed forgetting her manners and I sat down with her watching the TV with her. It soon got late and I looked over at the family sword, remembering what I had done. I spoke up and looked to Twilight.

"We should probably get some sleep."

"I can sleep with you then.I don't want to be seen right?"

"Right."

As we walked up the stairs everything being turned off downstairs I remembered.I have no place for her to sleep. In my mind i was thinking exactly 'fuck me'.

When we reached my room I opened the door and walked in. Twilight used her magic and closed the door after us.Then asked me.

"So, where will I sleep?" Twilight asked quizzically.

"Guess you'll have you sleep with me up on the bed." I answered and I saw a blush visible under her mane. I was fighting my own red cheeks off, I was always good at hiding my embarrassment. I got another blanket out from my closet and laid it out next to the one that was already on it. I laid down.

"Okay..." her voice drifted off as she climbed in and using her magic pulled the blanket over her. I turned to face the wall and she did the same to face the opposite wall from what I heard.

"Night." I said obviously embarrassed now.

"N-night."Twilight responded even more embarrassed than me.

I drifted to sleep fast, almost after I closed my eyes and she did the same assuming what I heard before I went to sleep was her snores.
