Breakfast

September 7th fall

Sweetie Belle

Just as we went up stairs, I had this weird feeling that he really was concerned for our well being, and he only just meet us. I mean, sure we were almost raped, but he wanted us to feel comfortable here. We continued up the stairs and quickly found the bedroom he had mentioned.

"Girls, are you sure we can trust this guy?" Scootaloo asked as soon as the door was closed.

"I dunno, but he seems worried about us, as if we're still fillies." I said to her

"Well he doesn't have to worry, we're just fine. By the way, why exactly did he just let us in his house and patch us up. I mean, I did threaten him and tried to hurt him, yet he still wanted to help." Scootaloo asked

"Well not all ponies are a total ass, some t ry to help." Applebloom said as she sat on the bed.

"Well whatever happens, if he hurts any of you or so much as touches you, I'll kill him. Remember what we promised each other a few years ago when we got our cutie marks." Scootaloo reminded us

Applebloom and I nodded. When Scootaloo got her cutie mark at being a stunt mare, Applebloom at construction and mine in music, we pledged that we were Cutie Mark Crusaders forever.

"Now tomorrow's a new day, hopefully we can get some answers in this new world." I said as we put our hands in the center and all three of us whispered "Cutie Mark Crusaders"

Michael September 8th fall

I slowly woke up and rose to a sitting position. Groaning, I rolled my neck since it felt stiff as I had slept on a really uncomfortable couch. I got up and walked upstairs towards my room. I did the same thing as yesterday got my clothes and showered.

Once I was done, I went downstairs I saw that the three girls awake.

"So, you never told us your name." Scootaloo said as I walked towards the kitchen.

"Sorry about that. My name is Michael."

"So what do you do Michael?" Sweetie Belle asked

"What do you mean?" I asked

"I mean what is your job?"

"Well I'm an architect. I design buildings for a company and then they pay me for my work. Anyway, are you girls hungry?" They all nodded, I entered my kitchen and looked in my fridge, I haven't bought much food so I needed to go to the store to buy some more soon.

After taking out a carton of eggs and a loaf of bread, I decide to make scrambled eggs and toast. Cracking the eggs into a bowl and whisking them together with a splash of milk followed by adding some pepper and salt. Pouring the concoction into a pan of the stove it started to cook. While the eggs were cooking, I walked over to my toaster and put in the bread, now the waiting game. Finally th e toast popped up and luckily the eggs were just about done as well. Once the eggs divided onto four plates and put a pair of toast on each plate I placed them in front of the girls and then myself. After eating there was a long silence.

"So can I ask you girls a few questions." I asked breaking the growing awkward silence

"Um sure." Applebloom said

"Okay what did you mean yesterday when you said 'scheduled storm'?"

"Wait, your storms aren't scheduled?" Scootaloo asked

"No weather here comes and goes, its random when it happens." I looked outside and saw that there were some clouds still lingering around.

"Where exactly do you girls live?"

"Well we all live in Ponyville, it's a small town and everypony knows everypony. When we were younger we would try different activities to get our cutie marks it was such a big deal for us. Every time we would fail we just try a different thing and we never gave up." Sweetie Belle explain. I couldn't believe my ears, if it wasn't for that fact that there were three examples of humanoid ponies sitting in front of me I would have thought they had missed a dose of medications or something. Still thinking on what Sweetie Belle said.

"What are cutie marks?" I asked

"What!? You don't know what a cutie mark is?" They shouted in unison

"Uh no?" I said unsure at what I asked

"Look at the back of our hands." Scootaloo said. I looked at the marks on their hands, each had a unique design as if they were tattoo on.

"So that's a cutie mark. What does it do?"

"A cutie mark is a symbol on the back of a pony's hand and flanks. Only those who found their special talent can have one." Applebloom explain. She looked at the back of my hand and gasped. "You don't have a cutie mark." She shouted

"He doesn't have a cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked sounding surprised.

< p>"Uh well, um." I was still confused at what was happening
"We have to help him find his talent!" Sweetie Belle shouted

"Well my day just got started." I said as they dragged me into the living room.

"Wait! Before we start in any activities would you like to stay here for the time being until your friends or whoever comes to get you girls." They thought about for a few minutes and nodded in unison. "Alrighty, then you girls are my new roommates. Which means I'm going to have to buy you new clothes." Again they thought about it and then they nodded again.

"Come on let's get started!" I noticed that Scootaloo's attitude did a complete 180, she hated me when we first met and now that she wants to help me get a cutie mark, she wants to help me.

"Alright, so what exactly do we do? We can't go outside since it looks like it's gonna rain again." I asked

"Hmm oh, I got it, can we see your drawings?" Sweetie asked

"Yeah if w e look at your drawings then we can find out why you don't have a cutie mark." Applebloom stated

"Uh girls I don't think-" they cut me off and pushed me towards my drawing room. I sighed and grabbed a random drawing
