As the train arrived the ponies split off along the way to Twilight's library. Through the whole walk ponies stared at me, I understood why of course. We approached the library and opened the door, I had to bend down a little to fit through the door.

"What is that thing!?" a boy voice shouted and I turned to it. It was a purple dragon with a light green belly
and fins.

Twilight was about to speak up but I interupted her,"I'll have you know, baby dragon, that I mean quite a lot
to Twilight. And I am not a thing! I am a human and proud to be such." I stated, feeling offended at his shouted
inquiry.

"Zach..." I looked down to see a blush over Twilight's face. I then realized what I had said and face palmed hard with a big blush.

"Um...uh...I'm Spike then....I'll just be going then..." Spike left at the awkward situation trying grasp hold of what had just happened.

"Sorry, I embarrassed you, Twi...I guess I just flipped out at that offensive question..."I said as I removed my hand from my face and looked down at her.

"It's fine he would have to know sometime." Twilight said with a smile,"Anyways, I don't have a guest room since this is a library, so you'll just have to sleep with me."she blushed knowing I would have to share her bed.

She showed me the room and I placed the grey cloth bag down and started to unpack. I brought out my laptop with my Xbox and guitar hero with two guitars and the games of the series. I had a small flatscreen TV that once occupied my bedroom. I then pulled out different sets of clothes along with the suit of armor and the Templar sword.

"Really, you brought all that?" Twilight asked.

"It may seem overkill, but I know you love Guitar Hero just as much as me and my laptop...well that was mandatory. It houses all my thoughts and ideas. "I said as I positioned the television on a dresser in the room that was away from the bed. I hooked up all the wires to it like a pro. I then put my folded clothes onto the floor stacked and arranged. I brought out the armor stand and set it next to the dresser. I then put the sword on a plaque I had bought for it. I put the plaque onto the wall with a simple nail and hammer I brought.

"I don't know how you plan to make it work..."

"You did say you have a lightning rod on the place right?"

"Yea...Oh, you plan to hook the Xbox up to it since that is electricity." she caught on while I started assembling the armor on the stand carefully.

"Yep. I'm sure I could figure something out. Or well, we can."I said with a slight blush, trying to get myself used to flirting with her a bit.

Twilight blushed as well,"We're practically dating right now aren't we?"

"Yep...you guys totally are.."Spike came in through the door while I was assembling the armor.

"You put two and two together, good. I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. I just found your question highly offensive." I apologized and had half of the armor in place.

"It's fine. Now who are you?"

"He is Zach Butchfield. He isn't from Equestria at all and Princess Celestia allowed him to stay here."Twilight said for me.

"Yep.That is who I am,"I said as I finished putting the armor together and turned to face the dragon,"And you are Spike, Twilight's No. 1 assistant."I stated.

"Exactly. So you two are dating?"Spike asked

"Yes, we are." Twilight said before I responded. I just looked down at her and smiled.

"Ooooh, wait till the others hear about this!" Spike said with a mischievous smile and ran off fast.

Twilight was about to give chase, but I put my hand on her shoulder,"Let him...It's better they know now. Besides, they probably already guessed." I said and Twilight calmed down.

"You're right..." Twilight said smiling at me.

"Anyways, I am gonna figure this electricity biz out.."I said and went on,"Do you have any paper and pens?" I asked.

"I have parchment and quills. Will that work?" Twilight asked and floated in a stack of parchment with two quills and three ink pots.

"Yep. I need to start on this. Or we can if you want to help."I said and she placed the items over to the desk.

"I would, but I have some studying to catch up on." Twilight said happily.

I just smiled and then sat down on the awkward small chair. It didn't break under my weight which had surprised me. I began to start some simple ideas. The one that made most sense to me was using some spark plugs with a giant battery operation machine. I still kept going with more ideas then started to write down materials. I was going to need a lot of steel and other metals. I then estimated the number before I got up and scooted the papers to the side of the desk to clear some room.

I didn't see Twilight on the way outside. I assumed she was either running errands or studying in a different room. I looked up at the tree library the best I could. I couldn't see the lightning rod. A thought then hit me...webcam. My laptop has a webcam. I can do this. I walked inside again and came out with my laptop. Luckily, it has about one fourth of its battery. The webcam was built in so as hard as it would be to get a glimpse of the lightning rod I would still try. I turned on the webcam and made it record. I lowered the laptop still having it in my hands.I angled it the screen so it would go up straight and catch the top of the library. After a couple throws I finally caught a good enough picture in one of the frames. The battery had gotten down to twelve percent. I then ran inside fast and started to copy the image before my laptop lost power. It had just nine percent of battery left when I finished. I closed the program and the lid making it need my password to be required to access. The lightning rod was just a simple metal pipe with other sticking out of it. At the end of each pipe there was a metal ball. I assumed the lightning struck there most often.

As I was just about to look through my plans I heard a knock at the door. I assumed Twilight would answer, but the knock came again.

"Twilight!?" I called out a little concerned,"Someo-somepony is at the door." I said loudly, but not loud enough for the visitor to hear it. The knock came again, louder.

I decided to answer it. I walked down out of the room and to the window next to the front door. I peeked out the corner of it. Rarity was there.

I opened the door and looked down at the mare,"Good afternoon, Rarity. Anything you need?" I asked smiling. I knew Spike probably said something about Twilight and me to her.

"Is Twilight in, dear?" she asked. I mentally sighed predicting that she would lash out some words.

"Nope...she is probably out running errands or so. She didn't tell me where she was going though."I replied preparing for a string of hurtful words from Rarity.

"Then, I will just address this to you..."Rarity began calmly as she walked past me. I shut the door and instantly she began,"Have you done something to our Twilight!?" she yelled at me.

I began to grow a little fearful of Rarity being this way,"N-no...why would I do such a thing to her?" I said slowly, losing my cool as she shot daggers to me while I spoke. I couldn't even think of myself hurting her.

"I just found out that you and dear Twilight are in a relationship,"she said calmly," This is completely unlike her. I demand you tell me what you did to her this instant!" Rarity demanded.

"I didn't to a thing to her to make her be in a relationship with me. I swear to god, I didn't!" I said loud, but not in a stressed yelling voice. I wished Twilight was here.

"I know you must of done something to her. So, tell me before I do something unladylike!" Rarity threatened as she took an offensive posture and her horn started to glow blue.

"R-Rarity...please calm down. I didn't do a goddamn thing to Twilight, besides I love her and would never hurt her...Please, just put away that magic...." I begged, fearing for my life.

"Zach...you..." I heard a very familiar voice from the door followed by a sigh,"Rarity stop your magic. Don't hurt him."

I turned and saw Twilight standing there blushing with her saddlebags on. I, again, saw what I said and blushed. I smiled a nervous smile at her.

"Twilight, snap out of it. He has you in some kind of spell or brainwashed. You can't possibly like him. He's not even a pony. He is just dirty monstrous human!" Rarity said as she looked at Twilight concerned. Her horn still glowed.

I felt offended and angered at Rarity. I knew that I couldn't take my anger out on Rarity. She is Twilight's friend. My teeth were grinding and my hands were clenched tight into fists. I felt like punching that annoying unicorn deep into a month coma. I pulled back my fist about to rush forward and sock her upside the face. Before I ran I thought of what I was about to do. I dropped my arm still having my hand clenched in frustration and anger. I ran over to the door and out of it, bending down so I could pass through. I needed to relax and take a calming walk. Before I left entirely I heard Twilight scold Rarity.

"He doesn't have me under any spell and he didn't brainwash me, Rarity. He just loves me and I love him...You should think about what you almost did..." Twilight said as she left her friend in the library. Rarity put down her magic and slumped her head realizing she had judged too fast.

I was ran right out of town and through Sweet Apple Acres. I heard some hooves behind me as I ran into the forest next to the apple farm. They stopped after a moment of me entering it. I still kept running for a good while before I began to walk.

I enjoyed the dense forest. It reminded me of the times I explored the woods when I was young. The tree canopy was making it quite dark even if it was in the middle of the day. My mind began to drift to Twilight...then what Rarity had pulled on me.

"When I get back...hooo boy...it's gonna be awkward."I said aloud as I kept going deeper into the woods. I noticed no life forms in the forest. It suddenly hit me where I was. I was in the middle of the damned Everfree Forest. I mentally cursed my mind, knowing that my want to get some time to myself for the moment wound me up in here.

"What the hell to do now..." I said trying to formulate a plan while I stopped. I heard a crunch of something taking a step behind me. I whipped around and saw a lone timberwolf right there. He had been stalking me this whole time.

The timberwolf looked like it was about to pounce. As it did, I barely ducked. Its claws grazed my head making a series of small cuts that bleed at a steady rate. I stood fast and ran with adrenaline pumping through my body. My head hurt so bad right now, but I didn't care. All I cared about was getting the hell out of here alive. I looked behind me, the timberwolf was slowly gaining. This might be the end for me. I came to a steep hill and still looking back at the timberwolf being cautious, I failed to see the steep hill. I rolled down it while I hugged my head and torso by bringing in my arms and legs as tight as I could. My head hurt worse now but nothing else did. The timberwolf had stopped at the top of the cliff then continued seeing as I was still alive and running. I kept running and running, blood trailed the ground from my head. I heard the pant of the timberwolf behind me. 'Oh, dear god. If I make it out of this alive I will try harder to not sin' I quickly thought. I checked back fast. The timberwolf was almost on me. It jumped through the air but something had blasted it apart. I looked to where the explosion most likely came from. Standing, there was Applejack and Twilight. It was obvious who shot the blast.

"Oh thank the heavens, you guys came." I said relieved.

"Now, why in tarnation would you head towards the Everfree Forest when I was callin' out ta' ya?!"Applejack asked yelling.

Twilight was about to say something, but I intervened,"I was just too busy focusing on getting away to think....I needed some time to myself..."I responded. Applejack's expressions changed to one of confusion.

"So, you came out here for some time to think?"Applejack asked confused.

"I usually take a walk with nature and reflect on some things. I figure out what to do next when I am calm. I really didn't mean to come into the Everfree...I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I ended up in here while I was thinking deeply. It is beautiful out here in a way." I responded,"But not as beautiful as somepony special I know."I flirted and glanced at Twilight and winked. She tried to pull a Fluttershy and hide behind her mane. Her head just ended up slumped low to the ground as a wild blush was on her face. I was just smiling at my beloved.

Applejack looked at Twilight once I made the motion,"Ah, I git it now. You two are in a relationship. Still, ya had no reason ta go into the Everfree."she said.

"Just ask Rarity once we meet up back at the library...oh and we should probably get the hell out of her before more timberwolves come."I said and turned around. There was a spot of deep red in my once brown shiny hair.I small streak went down in it and a spot was on the back of my shirt.

"Yea, we should get going back to Ponyville. You okay, Zach?" Twilight asked concerned.

We all started to walk fast out of the forest. Blood now slowly came from my head,"I'm fine just feeling some throbs of pain in the old noodle." I responded.

After what seemed forever we walked out of the forest without another word. We had arrived back at Twilight's. She was greeted by an apologetic unicorn.

"I'm so sorry, Twilight. I guess I didn't want to believe it, but it must be true. You are still with him right?" Rarity asked and saw me behind Twilight in an expression of some kind of constant pain. Spike was seen at the couch with a mischievous smile. She moved out of the way and walked beside Twilight as we entered she then saw AJ and said "Hi", she had gotten the same response from Applejack.

Once we were inside I took off my shirt not caring if the mares saw my bare chest. I was averagely built with barely any muscle obviously showing. All my muscle was in my legs and feet. I laid the shirt on the floor in front of me. Rarity and Spike saw the small blood spot on it. They both gasped.

"What happened to you?" Spike asked and the smile was gone.

I opened my mouth to speak, but the words that came weren't mine,"Timberwolf."Twilight answered for me.

"It seems us interrupting each other is becoming common..."I waved my hand between us,"Is there an invisible wire connecting our two brains or something?"I sarcastically asked and chuckled a bit. The others laughed not as much as me since they were worried about my injury. My head still throbbed in pain. I got up and headed to the bathroom realizing I had to dress the wound. I started to wash the blood out of my hair and clean the wound with it.

"Motherfucker! That stings like hell!" I shouted and Twilight came running to the bathroom. She saw me washing my hair and the wound.

"That must take a lot of restraint to not stop.." Twilight admired in a situation like this.

"You're damn right it does!" I finished cleaning the wound and wrapped a small hand towel over my head very tightly. It hurt a lot but it would allow the blood to stop pouring and seal up the wound more effectively. I walked back into the room with a hand on Twilight's back. I felt light headed.

"Are you alright, Darling?" Rarity asked me concerned which shocked me.

"Why would you care? You insisted that I did something to Twilight to make her like me..." I said with some anger and a tiny bit of hate in my tone.

"Because, I've seen my error. Now, are you okay?" Rarity asked again.

"Just...Peachy..." Twilight had walked over to the couch with my hand still on her back. I was wobbly and couldn't keep my coordination. I sat down falling into the couch cushion.

"You don't look that good, Zach. You should go to sleep." Twilight said concerned.

"I know...But, if I remember correctly, if I fall...asleep with anemia I have a chance of...dieing from lowered brain and heart activity." I said with a little trouble as I waved side by side.

"Well, we surely don't want you dead all over this." Spike said as he looked up at my with fear.

"Could one of you...get me a mixed green leafy vegetable salad...and some milk...."I asked and SPike jumped up from the couch and walked into the kitchen.

"How could that help?" Twilight asked not knowing my logic.

"If I recall...they help me produce...more red blood cells...so I can be stable again...Anemia is the loss of too much blood cells." I said feeling slightly better at the moment.

"Your medical knowledge must be far superior to ours." Twilight stated.

"It is...wish I had a textbook to show you that..."I said.

"Sorry for going off on you, dear." Rarity apologized,"I just care for my friends a lot."

"I can't blame you for being protective of them...I cared for mine a lot. Especially Mark."I said and Spike came back in and handed me a tall glass of milk and a big bowl of the vegetables I asked for,"Thanks, Spike."

"No prob." Spike said as he sat down next to me. I started to eat and finished fast wanting to get back to health fast. I then chugged down the milk as fast as my throat would allow.

"I thought you were a gentleman?" Rarity said quizzically to make it a question.

"I am...but come on I am faced..with death here." I responded feeling some energy from the vitamin and mineral rich food.

"Why don't you head upstairs and rest?" Twilight said.

"Good idea." I stood waving a bit as I walked to the staircase. I stumbled and landed on my knees and hands,"Guess I am not all that good..." I said as I tried to get on my feet and just fell back to my hands and knees.

"Here, Zach. Let me help." Rarity offered trying to get back on my good side. She was next to me,"Just lean on me."

Twilight opened her mouth about to speak out in jealous. She then saw she was trying to make up and be friends again with me.

"Thanks..." I placed a hand on her back then pushed down on her back as well as the floor with my legs. She went down under from my weight as I stood and replaced my hand on her shoulder in case I fell. I walked slowly to the stair case and held onto Rarity tightly as it had no rail. I made it upstairs to Twilight's bedroom.

"Get some rest, deary. Don't fall asleep though." Rarity said as she left.

"Thanks a bunch..." I closed the door and walked slowly to the bed where I then laid down. I felt better as I laid there not moving. I could hear Twilight speaking.

"You better not be crushing on him, Rarity..."she said with a furious tone.

"I wouldn't dream of it. Even if he is a gentleman, I would never steal my friend's coltfriend." Rarity said sounding honest.

"Actually, Rarity. It would be boyfriend according to his planet." Twilight corrected being the intelligent individual like me.

"Well, we better tell the others sometime soon about what you and him mean." Rarity said.

"Yes, but tomorrow...I'm quite tired..."

"See you tomorrow then, Twilight. And Spike?" Rarity called.

"Yes, Rarity?" Spike said dreamily, he obviously liked the mare from what I heard.

"Don't tell anyone about these two lovebirds~" Rarity teased as she left.

I heard Twilight coming up and she opened the door. I already had the towel off and laid it on the night stand. A scab had already formed over the claw marks. I scooted over allowing Twilight in.

"That was weird..." she said.

"More like awkward..." I chimed in then wrapped my arm around Twilight pulling her close. I could fall asleep knowing I must have gotten blood cells back by now. I blushed a bit while I saw Twilight blush wildy. We never fell asleep like this before. I decided to meet the expectations of the others once they found out. I gave her a quick peck on the lips and blushed deeply. Twilight smiled with a shocked expression while a darker blush then I had ever seen was very visible under her coat. That was the first time I had ever kissed Twilight on the lips. It didn't feel weird at all. I had my eyes closed while I thought this. I slowly drifted asleep.

Author's Note

This should be another d'awwww moment. I believe I did outstanding on constructing this chapter. That is my opinion though so it means nothing but crap if I say it.
