“I sure hope they’re okay. They were in bad shape yesterday” said Fluttershy

“With Princess Celestia’s doctors working on them, I’m sure they are in tip top shape Fluttershy” said Twilight

I hope Greggy weggy is okay. I haven’t had any fun with him yet” giggled Pinky as she bounced along.

The girls kind of stopped and looked at Pinkie, not quite sure what she meant.

“Whatever I hope Brennan’s still in pain from yesterday cus if not I’ll give him another dose of…”
Before Rainbow could finish, Applejack pinned her to the wall.

“Now you listen here, I know he hasn’t been the nicest to you but you sure as hay haven’t either. So I’m telling you this now, shut the buck up, get over yourself, and at least try to get to know him” said Applejack

“Okay girls, let’s not fight amongst ourselves, we have to be nice for the boys since we’re visiting them” said Rarity trying to calm things down

“Yeah sillies, no need to get all down in the dumps cause of some boy but then again there aren’t a lot of boys here so I guess it’s ok, but then-” Pinky was cut short by Twilight’s hand covering her mouth before she could really get going.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash’s faces went blank.

“I already told you I don’t like him” said Rainbow Dash

“And I’m just being a friend backing him up” said Applejack

“Whatever it may be Pinky is right darlings” said Rarity

She does have a point; let’s not fight before seeing our new friends in the hospital” said Twilight as they made their way to the boys room.

They all stopped in front of the door as Twilight opened it.

“Greg… Brennan are you guys…”

The girls gasped in awe as they looked in. The room was a complete mess with books, clothes, tools, and hospital instruments all over the place. Laying on top of the disaster was Greg and Brennan, dead asleep in the most unusual ways, ways that once again stumped even Pinkie.
Greg and Brennan were in what appeared to be a meditation like stance. The girls were surprised at how peaceful the two looked in the center of all this chaotic dysfunction.

“Um… what in the hay happened here” said Rainbow Dash

“Well duh, they are obviously in a trance due to an epic Magic Duel that they had last night which obviously ended in a tie Dashie” said Pinkie

Brennan let out a yawn and stretched a bit while standing up. “Man that was some duel, I should probably clean this up before the girls get here” He then started clean, completely unaware of the six girls staring at him while he worked. While he cleaned up Greg got up and started helping out, both of them ignoring their visitors. When they finished cleaning, they climbed into their beds and went back to sleep. The girls just stood there for a few moments and then Twilight slowly backed them up out the door, closing it on the way out.

*Later that Morning*

-Chirp, Chirp, Chirp-

“GOD DAMN BIRDS!!! Oh wait, I mean, good birdies. Keep singing that lovely wake up song too early in the damn morning” said Greg after remembering what happened the last time he yelled at the birds and not wanting a repeat of that.
Brennan still slept through Greg’s morning rage routine. Muttering things about whatever he was dreaming. Greg decided it was time to do something since he was awake, so he got dressed.

“Now then what to do” thought Greg.
He decided a walk around the hospital was in order but just as he was about to leave, there was a knock at the door. “Wonder who that could be” he muttered to himself. He opened the door to see who it was.

“Hi Greg are you guys… awake now” asked Twilight

“Yep well except…”

Pinkie darted in the room but this time Greg was ready except that she vanished into thin air. He looked around confused until he felt arms wrap around his neck and a weight on his back.

“Got you” Pinky giggled into his ear

“It seems you have Pinky, it seems you have”

The girls entered the now clean room.

“Where’s Brennan” Twilight asked

Her answer came with some slow movements and mumbles coming from Brennan’s bed.

“Excuse me while I wake up my friend” said Greg excusing himself from the group.
He simply walked up to the bedside and looked down at him debating on what he should do to wake up his friend.

“Hold on I got this” said Applejack coming up to the bed.
She looked at Brennan for a few moments and then moved close to his right ear and whispered something. Brennan suddenly woke up and jumped up from the bed.

“Well that worked, what’d you tell him AJ” asked Greg

Applejack whispered it quietly to Greg and he burst into laughter.

“Oh that’s just priceless, I have GOT to remember that one. So what are you guys doing here anyway” said Greg

“We’ll today ya’ll are supposed to meet the Princess but we were just doing our daily routine visit” said Applejack

“We do have some time before you guys met her… wanna get some breakfast” Twilight asked

“Sure… BRENNAN YOU WANT SOME BREAKFAST” said Greg

Brennan still recovering from what he just experienced could barely mutter out a yes.

“We’ll be right out ladies, just give him some time to change” said Greg

“Okay we’ll be out in the hall” said Twilight as she lead them out

After Brennan got dressed, they headed out the door with the girls. Since they were to meet the Princess, they had to go across the castle so they would get to eat at a nicer, more luxurious mess hall.

“So did you guys like um, notice anything weird about your room” Twilight asked

“What do you mean weird” Brennan said giving Twilight a questioning look.

“Oh she’s talking about that huge mess that was in your room earlier when we were here” said Pinkie

The guys just looked at Pinkie with blank faces.

“Uh oh looks like Brennan is broken, I’ll fix…” Applejack let out a huff and gave Rainbow Dash a stern look. “I mean they’re in a hospital, maybe they just went a little brain dead” she said. Brennan gave her a surprised look, having no sly remark thrown at him.

“Well some yummy wummy food will make those tummies and brains all better soon” said Pinkie jumping up and down as they walked. Greg motioned to Twilight and got close to her ear.

“By the way, Brennan hasn’t been introduced to pony food, so I don’t know how he’ll react” Greg whispered

“Well you took it pretty well after the first bite”

“Yeah but I’ll eat just about anything though, Brennan can be the same way sometimes but he probably won’t want to eat hay fries and a flower sandwich”

“Well we definitely don’t have the alternative”

The group continued walking through the castles many beautiful hallways and rooms. The place was so big, it’s amazing that one doesn’t get lost in it.

“So how did ya’ll sleep last night? I reckon with beds as soft as those, you’d be as snug as a worm in a ripe apple” said Applejack

“We don’t really know. We just talked and then something happened and I don’t remember much more… Greg??”

“Nope, not a clue man”

“I told you guys already it’s…” Pinky was cut off again

“Pinky we already heard and we don’t need a repeat, okay” said a frustrated Twilight

“Any who we’re here” said Greg as they made their way into the cafeteria.

“Smells a bit weird… smells like they’re cooking nothing but vegetables and grass back there” said Brennan taking a whiff

“We might have a problem” Greg whispered to Twilight

They went through the line and gathered their meals and then sat at one of the tables. Greg wasn’t wrong, what laid before Brennan didn’t look appetizing to him.

“I don’t mind salads but is it possible that you have fruits here like Apples, I could really go for that and maybe some potato and cheese soup” he asked the group

Applejack and Fluttershy’s eyes widened bigger than the full moon Brennan saw last night.

“We’ll I’m pretty sure that Applejack and Fluttershy would love to get those for you but you’ll have to wait until you’re out of here for that darling” said Rarity finishing up her salad.

“Okay, I’ll make do with this salad for now” said Brennan in disappointed defeat

By this time Greg had already eaten about three sandwiches and two salads. “Man that was a great breakfast, but I wonder what’ll be for lunch”

“Dude really, we just ate. At least wait until lunch to think about what you’re gonna get” said Brennan just finishing his meal

The girls sat and eat their meals amused by the two friend’s personalities. When everyone was finished, Twilight showed them all, the way to the throne room. The Throne room was massive and highly decorated with gold lacing and marble columns. Down a ways following the red carpet sat two giant golden thrones, one with red leather and the other with black leather but there was no Princess to be found.

“Hmm that’s weird, the Princess should be here” said Twilight

After the words left her mouth Princess Celestia walked in from an unseen door. “Sorry for being late girls, royal business kept me a little occupied, so how are our guests doing”

“Just fine your highness” said Twilight bowing down as did all the others except the boys looking confused. “This is Greg and Brennan, the humans”

“I’m well aware of that since I did accompany them to our hospital wing. Now if you two don’t mind, I’d like to ask you a few questions about your species and homeworld” said Celestia turning to them.

“Um, okay” they both said

“First question: Are there any similarities between our worlds?”

“Well yes almost everything except for the magic powers and the civilians being ponies” answered Brennan

“ How are you technology wise, where do you stand?”

“I’d say we’re pretty advanced in tech, I mean from what I see here, you’re just a bit behind our planet” said Greg

Celestia gave a look of displeasure. “How is your species gender wise?”

“We’re pretty equivalent gender wise but I think a little more males than females though” said Brennan

All of the girls and even the Princess gave a look of surprise. “Um… okay l- let’s continue. Earlier you said your kind doesn’t have magic right?”

“That’s right” said Greg

“Then how do you get things done? What do you do when traveling or construction?”

“Well we use vehicles which are basically like wagons and carts and chariots that can move on their own and they are powered by a substance made up of oil and other ground substances called Gasoline. And when we construct we don’t use magic but our hands and tools to take care of it” explained Brennan.

“Hmmm interesting, well let’s move on to the biological makeup of your bodies. Why do you only have fur on your head?”

“Well actually its hair and males tend to have it on their arms and legs as well as other places. Women not so much but it is possible. Some of our scientists say we evolved from monkeys, some say we were created by a supreme being named God. The debate has been going on for centuries” said Brennan

“Hmm, it sounds like you have a more diverse culture than I thought but back to basics. What kind of food do you two eat? It’s obvious you can eat vegetables because that’s what you have here but what else can you have?”
“You’re right we can eat vegetables and fruits and stuff but mainly…” the girls prepared for the worst as Greg finished, “Meat your highness”

“Meat? Oh my, well I would normally just send you to the Griffon Kingdom but they might tear you apart there so do you
think you could lay off of meat for awhile?”

“It’ll be hard, but I’ll give it my best” said Greg

Brennan nodded in agreement. “As long as there are apples and soup I can be fine too Princess”

“Very well, the next question I have is if you two want to go home or stay here” Celestia asked

“Well we would want to go home of course” said Brennan

“While it’s great here we do like having all our stuff back at home” said Greg

“Okay Twilight and I will try our best to get you home but for the time being you will have to live here for awhile and I mean awhile” said Celestia

The sadden faces of Pinky and the dark figure behind Celestia’s secret door brightened up at the hearing of this.

“Well I guess we’re done here guys” said Twilight.

“Wait! I have one more question for them Twilight”

“Oh, sorry Princess” said an embarrassed Twilight

Celestia’s face made it almost impossible to know what she was going to ask. “Now I must admit my curiosity, but how exactly does your kind procreate” she asked

This question caused the boys to visibly blush.

“You wanna answer this one dude” Brennan asked Greg

“Not exactly but ok I guess”

The room got quiet not making the conversation any easier to continue.

“Well you see…” It was obvious that this was going to be tough to explain for Greg.

Princess Celestia then giggled, “Oh I was only joking silly. I can always get that information later. For now it seems you have other matters to attend to” she said looking at Twilight

The group let out a sigh relief. They then said their farewells to the Princess, Greg’s taking the longest as Celestia didn’t let go of him for some reason. They then headed out of the throne room and down the hallway.

“Well that was something” said Greg

“But at least it’s over dude” said Brennan

*grumble*

“I could really eat something right now” said Greg

“Really, REALLY?! We literally just ate a few minutes ago” said Brennan

“I’ve got an idea. Since you guys can walk about now, how about we go into town and show you guys around” said Twilight

“That sounds nice” said Brennan

“Will we have food” Greg asked

Twilight chuckled. “Yes we will stop for food”

“Good then I’m in”

“Okay meet us outside in about twenty minutes”

“Okay, whelp Brennan lets go grab our gear and head on out”

“Okay see you ladies in a bit” said Brennan and the guys headed back to Brennan’s room

“So do you know what was up with the Princess dude? I mean, she wouldn’t let go of me when we were about to leave” said Greg

“I don’t know dude, maybe she has a thing for you like Pinky” Brennan joked at Greg.

“Okay, time to explain. We didn’t do anything!! All she did was sit on my lap and ate her lunch” said Greg

“Sure, dude that’s all. Next thing, I know you’ll be in bed with her and say you were wrestling” laughed Brennan

“Well if she just happens to wrestle me, why wouldn’t I wrestle back”

“Only you dude, well it looks like we’re going out on the town with six ladies”

“Sounds like a good time but I wonder, are we just gonna wander around or are we going somewhere specific”

“No idea, I guess it’ll be whatever they decide”

“Okay let’s go see em since we got everything we need here” said Greg in Brennan’s hospital room. The two headed out to meet up with the girls.

They met them at the Front of the castle where the girls had a chariot that led them to the train that would take them to Ponyville. They got on the train and were able to get a private cart. The trip would be awhile so why not ride in style. During this time Greg thought it’d be great to take a nap.

“Is there anything else that guy does besides eat and sleep” said Rainbow Dash

“Of course, he also draws, gets us into trouble, and constantly gets hurt” said Brennan

“Th-that doesn’t sound like a good thing” said Fluttershy

“No not really but it keeps our life pretty interesting” said Brennan

“I’m kind of tired too. I’m going to go lay down as well” said twilight

“Okay” said the girls as Twilight went into the other section of the cart where Greg was sleeping and the seats were bigger to sleep on.

“The poor dear has been up for two days finishing work for the Princess” explained Rarity

“Oh wow, it looks like the princess works her students hard” said Brennan

“Not exactly sugar cube, Twilight works herself pretty hard when it comes to the Princess” said Applejack

“Is that so, sounds like Greg in a way. He was once up for a week trying to finish some art project he was working on” said Brennan

“Seriously?! How did he stay up for a whole week?” exclaimed Pinky

“He’s Greg”

“Well do you do anything special” asked Rainbow Dash

“Yeah I play Bass guitar and I sometimes draw but Greg is the artist. Hardworking… for some stuff but not all and I don’t sleep or eat as much as he does”

The sound of a stomach grumbling caused everyone to look towards where Greg was sleeping.

“Jeez that guy could eat an entire stack of hay with that stomach” said Rainbow Dash

“I wouldn’t doubt it. So what’s Ponyville like gals” asked Brennan

“Well it’s a quiet little place most of the time, the folks there are might nice” said Applejack

Just then Pinky started laughing.

“And whatever is so funny darling” said Rarity

“Look at Twilight and Greg” she said pointing at the two.

Twilight’s sleeping head was resting on Greg’s shoulder while Greg’s leaned on top of hers.

“Awww, how cute” Rarity said

“Bet you wish that was you, then again nobody would grant it” said Rainbow Dash laughing

Applejack was ready to get onto Rainbow Dash but Brennan stopped her.

“Rainbow, can I talk to you outside in the back” he asked

Rainbow Dash was surprised by this and didn’t know what to do with everyone looking at her.

“Um sure… as long as you don’t do anything funny”

The two got up and walked to the back. Rarity gave Brennan a concerned look but he gave her an assuring one. They went out the back door and stood by the railing.

“Rainbow Dash, I know I haven’t been the nicest but neither have you, what’s up with you” Brennan asked

“What are you talking about what’s up with me? What are you getting at?”

“What is so bad about me that you treat me this way, I’ve barley known you for a few days but you act like we’ve been long time enemies” said Brennan

“I… I just….. I don’t know. If I don’t have somewhat knowledge of something or someone new I tend not to trust them “said
Dash

“Well you’ve had a few days so why are you still this way?”

“I don’t really work that way, there has to be something to gain my trust”

“Well, until I can somehow manage to gain that trust, can we at least call a truce” said Brennan sticking out his hand
Rainbow Dash looked at his hand and then at him. She then smiled. “I can’t believe I’m doing this but…” She shook his hand. “Truce” Brennan tried to release his grip but Dash held it firm. “but first you must Pinkie promise, that you won’t harm any of my friends physically or emotionally and that your efforts to gain my trust will be sincere” she said looking straight into his eyes.

“How does one Pinkie promise” he asked

Dash showed him the steps and then Brennan sighed

“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye”

Dash then released her grip.

“Come on, I don’t want the girls to think we’re doing anything back here” Rainbow Dash said and they went back inside.

As they entered they noticed that Fluttershy leaned on Greg’s free shoulder while Pinky let her head rest on his lap. All the while Greg was sleeping like he hadn’t slept in days.

“How does he do that” asked Rainbow Dash

“Don’t ask” said Brennan

“What’s weird is that it’s not even night time” said Dash

“Yeah well…” Brennan said motioning to a seat. Dash sat down. “Hey where’s Rarity” he asked

“She went to gussy herself up” said AJ

The rest of the train ride went by fairly quick. Brennan and the remaining awoken girls passed the time with idle chit-chat and before long; they were at the Ponyville Train Station. After they woke everyone up, they got out of the train and entered Ponyville. The town was busy with civilians walking or working about and the town had a cozy home feeling to it.
Much of the buildings were close together with stores, parks, and other big business having their own space.

“Wow, this place is pretty nice.” said Greg

“Pretty nice, this place is the best, especially withallthreshopsandtreatsandponyfolksandhfkerwhfsdhfkdhsfkjhskjfkaddasfndjnfjnjanjdnjgnjsngfjanjgfnjkfdgakjhgfhjarhgjfjklregfkjhgferkj” Pinkie went into hyper mode and there was no stopping her.

“Why don’t we just start walking” asked Twilight

They started walking throughout the little town. As they walked they started gathering quite a bit of attention due to the fact that the girls were walking with two alien things.

“Um… I just realized something” said Brennan.

“What?” asked Greg

“The other people here have no idea what we are.”

“I believe the term is ponies, and you do have a point. They are kinda giving us strange looks.”

“Its okay guys the same thing happened to our friend Zecora when she first came around” said Twilight

“Hey let’s check out Sugarcube corner, I’ve got a needie for a sweetie” said Pinkie Pie

The walk wasn’t long since the sweet shop was only a few blocks away but as they walked they didn’t notice the figure following behind them.

Sugarcube Corner looked just like a gingerbread house covered in icing and gumdrops. The aroma coming from within was intoxicating and irresistible.

*Grumble* Greg’s stomach let out a mighty grumble. He blushed slightly and scratched his head.

“He-he… I guess I’m hungrier than I thought.”

“Dude, your stomach was growling nonstop on the train.” said Rainbow Dash

“Like I said Dash, just go with it” said Brennan

“Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I’m back with company” Pinkie Pie sang

Two ponies walked out of the kitchen and to the counter. One was yellow and had carrot orange hair and the other was blue with wild berry pop tart colored hair. “Hello Pinkie” they both said

“You guys know my friends but I want you to meet Brennan and Greg, guys this is Mr. and Mrs. Cake” said Pinkie

“Nice to meet you two” said Brennan

“Same here you have a nice store and it smells great” said Greg

“Do you two mind if I treat my friends here” asked Pinkie

“As long as you don’t use up our stock” said Mr. Cake

“Yea, you heard em guys, pick whatever you want, it’s on the house” said Pinky

“Careful Pinky, Greg here could easily put you guys out of business with that bottomless stomach of his” said Brennan.

“I’m not gonna eat that much dude. Just a snack until I lunch or dinner or something” said Greg.

Greg let his stomach and nose guide him to the treat that he wanted. A triple layer slice of chocolate cake with raspberry sauce on it.

“Well somepony has got one major sweet tooth. Might even be bigger than mine” said Pinky as she got him the cake. Within moments of receiving it Greg inhaled it in less than thirty seconds.
Pinky’s expression widened as she got an idea. She quickly dashed through the store and came back instantly blindfolding Greg. “I want to play a little game with you, I’ll be right back” she said coming back soon with a table full of treats. Mr. and Mrs. Cake gasped in horror of the quantity of food on the table. “Okay Greg I want to see if you can guess all these yummy treats I have before you. If you lose you have to pay this off but if you win…” Pinkie whispered the winning conditions to Greg. “Got It”

“Yes” said Greg

“Good, let’s begin” she said

She placed a Danish pastry in front of him and told him to eat it. He first sniffed it then gobbled it down. “Well?” asked Pinky.

“Apple Danish pastry, with a hint of cinnamon”

“Correct, now try this” said Pinky as she placed Strawberry Short cake.

Greg ate it down in three bites. “Hmmmm, Strawberry Shortcake with cream filling. Cake is moist and delicious as well.”

“Well done and last but not least this!” she placed the single most expensive pastry in the shop in front of Greg. The masterful Marzipan Surprise. Greg sniffed the masterpiece first, testing the smell. He then ate it in four bites.

“Amazing, it’s a Masterful Marzipan Surprise!”

The room was silent as everyone was amazed.

“That’s….. That’s correct, you win” said Pinkie

The room erupted in cheers as the girls congratulated him. Mr. and Rs. Cake still stood in awe.

After the pleasantries, the sweet shop couple approached Greg.

“Greg are you by chance staying here for awhile” asked Mrs. Cake

“Well yes I am, why do you ask”

“We were wondering if maybe you want to have a job here, you seem to have a broad knowledge of sweets and things and a great taster.” said Mr. Cake

Pinkie exploded with happiness. “Oh please Greg please work here we’llbesuchgoodworkmatesandhavefunandeatsweetsandtellstoriesandsecretsandstuffand…..”

“Pinkie… of course I’ll work here” said Greg

“Really?! You mean it?!” asked Pinky

“Of course, besides, I’ve always wanted to work in a place that sells food.” said Greg with a smile.

“Yay!!” exclaimed Pinky as she grabbed Greg in a massive bear hug.

They then left the shop to continue on with the tour of the town. Greg and Brennan got to see all sorts of shops, even one that sold sofas and quills. The boys thought it was weird that they still used quills but didn’t think much of it. They also got to see Rarity’s Boutique Shop and Twilight’s library and other businesses such as Colgate’s Dentistry.
Obviously they meet new ponies during their day. Some of whom consisted of Bon Bon, Cherilie, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Trixie (who got befriended by Greg), and Mayor Mare.

As their trip seemed to be at an end, Brennan heard a booming noise and started to follow it.

“Where are you going” Greg asked

“It sounds like music dude” said Brennan

The group followed Brennan as he seemed to find his way to the source which was a music store. Inside, the store was filled with the sounds of music from the speakers and there were aisles and aisles of music. Music instruments of all sorts were in the back sectioned off by the different types of instrument and to the right side of the store there was DJ equipment and test rooms to try out all the speakers and mixers and things you wanted. Brennan was amazed by it all and went crazy checking out everything. The group just kind of looked around not really knowing what to do.
Suddenly a white unicorn with electric blue hair and teal highlights, with purple shades came out of the back. “Welcome to Everything Music, how can I help you” said the unicorn.

“Oh hey Vinyl, I thought this was your store” said Pinkie

“Oh hey Pinks, you here for more party stuff” Vinyl asked

“Nawww, my friend was intrigued by your music and just wanted to look around” said Pinkie

“Really, where is he” Vinyl asked

“In the back, also this is Greg, he’s new around here” said Pinkie introducing Greg
Vinyl looked at Greg and then extended her hand. “So you’re one of the humans, I’ve been hearing about”

Greg shook her hand. “Yes it’s nice to meet you”

“Well let me go check on this musically intrigued person in the back” said Vinyl

As she went to the back to find Brennan she found him ogling over the new bass she had ordered.

“So I’m guessing you’re a bassist sir” said Vinyl

Brennan turned around to see the store owner smiling at him. “Well actually yes I am, been one for about five years now.

What about you” said Brennan

“No but I am a DJ and a producer, been one most of my life” she said

“Oh cool, do you have any albums”

“I sure do”

“I’ll make sure to check them out when I get enough money”

“Why thank you it’s always good to have someone interested in my music”

“So what pickups are in this bass” Brennan asked

The two musicians started discussing things that was totally alien to the rest of the group so they just went outside to find something close to do.

“Wow you’ve got the life I dream of Vinyl, you’re pretty awesome”

Vinyl blushed a bit. “Thanks, sometimes it’s not so fun but I wouldn’t trade it for the world”

“So are you the only one working here” Brennan asked

“No, my roommate Octavia usually helps around but she’s not the best worker, especially since she’s in the town orchestra” said Vinyl

“Would you mind having some more help around here, I would love to work here”

“I don’t see why not, sure you got the job” said Vinyl shaking Brennan’s hand.

A short while later Brennan came out of the store and saw the group sitting at a table outside a restaurant.

“Hello Brennan how did it go in there” asked Rarity as Brennan approached them

“She has a very nice store and it looks like I have a job now as well”

“Splendid darling, come sit with us and celebrate with a dinner on us”

“Thank you but I can’t keep having you ladies buy me everything. I’ll have to find a way to pay you all back” said Brennan, finding a seat next to Rarity and Fluttershy

“Hmmm I’ll keep that in mind” said Rarity giving Brennan a wink and giggling.

Greg himself was a bit hesitant to let them pay for him again. It was normally against his nature to let others pay for him.

“Oh come silly, just order so we can getcha somethin” exclaimed Pinky

“Sorry I just prefer to pay for others instead of the other way around” sighed Greg

“Don’t worry about it Greg, we don’t mind paying for you” said Twilight

With another sigh, Greg ordered the cheapest thing that he could find on the menu. Brennan on the other hand, after being assured it was okay, was going to please himself to this meal. He didn’t go crazy with it but he didn’t hold back. After they were all done eating they continued on with the tour of the rest of the town, completely unaware that they were being watched.

“Hey Brennan” said Greg

“Yeah”

“You ever get the feeling that you’re being watched” asked Greg

“Not really. I’m not really popular but that green pony has been following us all day and so has that wizard one too.” said Brennan pointing behind him

“Really… Where” asked Greg

Greg saw nothing as he turned around, as did the girls. “There’s no one there dude” said Greg. The area suddenly got clouded in some kind of smoke. No one could see in front of themselves. Greg let out a yelp as he felt pain in the back of his head. Another poof of smoke occurred but it seemed to make the first cloud disappear and everyone could see again.

“Is everyone alright” asked Twilight looking around at her friends

“I’m not” said Greg holding his head

“What happened” asked Fluttershy and Rarity

“Well its obvious girls, Trixie used smoke bombs while Lyra snatched some of Greg’s hair and then ran off” said Pinkie Pie somehow knowing the answer… AGAIN

“What, why would they do that” cried Greg feeling around for the spot where some of his hair used to be.

“Looks like someone’s got a stalker” said Brennan

“We can go take care of them, if you want Greg” said Twilight

“No its okay, they haven’t really threatened me and I’m sure they aren’t stalkers…hopefully”

“Yeah, good luck sleeping tonight bro” teased Brennan

“Speaking of sleep, where are we going to sleep tonight” asked Greg

“Way, ahead of you Greg. Princess Celestia told me that you two were cleared from the Medical Wing and you can either stay back at the Castle or you can stay with one of us” said Twilight

“Fantastic, it’d be nice to spend the night at a place with books”

Twilight’s ears flickered at the sound of books. “Umm, I live in a library Greg, your more than welcome to stay”

“Sounds awesome Twilight. What about you Brennan”

“I’ll probably just go sleep under the stars tonight in a field or a park. I feel like an outside night tonight” said Brennan

Rarity gasped at his comment in horror. “Brennan dear, please tell me your joking. You can’t possibly think of sleeping outside”??

“I actually like it, it’s relaxing”

“This simply won’t do, you’re welcome to and will stay with me, if not somepony else”

“Well if you insist Ms Rarity…”

“Wait” exclaimed Applejack. “I live on a farm, so if you want dat outta town feel, you can come with me”.
This took Rarity a little bit off guard and Applejack sort of looked at the ground.

“Now this is too much ladies, making me choose isn’t very fair” said Brennan

“It’s perfectly fine who you choose darling, you won’t hurt our feelings” said Rarity

“Yeah what she said” said Applejack

“Well both places sound lovely, but the farm does sound like more of what I was thinking so I guess I’ll go with Applejack”
Applejack smiled with joy.

“Don’t worry Ms. Rarity, next time I’m definitely yours” Brennan said bowing like a gentleman.

“I’ll hold you to that” she said smiling at his charming attempt

“Well looks like we got our plans for the night” said Greg

“Yeah dude, you have fun with your stalkers” said Brennan

“Sure, just like you alone with a nice gal in the outskirts of town on a farm” whispered Greg.

“It’s not like that” said Brennan embarrassed.

“Hahaha goodnight dude”

“Yeah you too”

******

The walk to Sweet Apple Acres was a little longer than Brennan expected. It was a cool night though so the walk was pleasant, minus the awkward between him and Applejack. Probably because of what happened at the Ponyville Hospital.

“Sooooo, tell me bout yerself partner” said Applejack making the first move

“Are you going to knock me out again after you get what you want to know” Brennan asked preparing to defend himself

“No I won’t, not unless you give me a reason sugarcube”

“Well, there’s really not much about me that’s interesting. Maybe you might want to give me a topic.”

“What are yer hobbies?”

“Well… I play music, sometimes I even write it. I’m a gamer if you know what that means. I also draw but not as good as Greg, and I play sports”

“Sports eh? Hmph I bet you don’t know the first thing about sports” teased AJ

“Now I wouldn’t want to embarrass you sweet cheeks. That wouldn’t be hospitable at all” Brennan teased back

“Oh, so you got jokes now do ya” said AJ with a sly look

“Indeed I do, plenty more where it came from too”

Applejack laughed. “Sure you do human boy” she said sticking out her tongue

“Alright how bout a race then” challenged Brennan

“Okay, to ma home just over the hill, loser has to do the winners work for a whole day”

“Deal” said Brennan

AJ stuck out her hand, spat in it, and offered it to Brennan. Brennan did the same thing and they shook hands.

“Alright. On your mark, get set, GO!!!” yelled Brennan. Off they ran staying at an even pace for awhile before Brennan started to pull ahead. “Yes! I’m actually gonna beat her” he thought. That was until she zoomed past him without even breaking a sweat. When he finally got to the barn Applejack was sitting on a hay stack waiting for Brennan, not even winded.

“Took ya long enough, even Fluttershy’s faster than you” she said. Brennan was gonna need more than ice for that “BURN”. He could barely speak at all trying to catch his breath. “Looks like you could use some hard labor. Well ya’ll gonna do that tomorra anyway, so there’ll be plenty of that” said AJ with a smile.

“Well it seems you beat me fair and square, so I guess I will” said Brennan. Before Applejack could reply a little filly pounced on Brennan.

“I got weird lookin stranger sis! Go git Big Mac and we’ll beat him up for you”

“Wait what?! Who are you, who’s this, what’s going on?”

“Applebloom he aint no stranger, he’s our guest, now git off em” commanded Applejack

“Oh, whoops. Sorry mister, I thought you was tryin to do stuff to my big sis” said the filly with puppy dog eyes

All of his irritation went away with a look at Applebloom. She was so cute, she could give you diabetes. She had candy apple hair, caramel eyes, and the cutest darn bow in the world. “Um no problem….”

“So what the hay are you anyway mister” asked Applebloom

“Applebloom, language young lady” barked Applejack

“Don’t worry, it’s no biggie”. Brennan knelt down to Applebloom. “My name is Brennan and I’m a human. I don’t know how I got here but here I ‘am.

“He’s kinda cute aint he Applejack” said Applebloom with pure innocence, which can be brutal, especially at this moment.

Applejack looked to Brennan and Brennan could only smile slyly at her.

“Well are you gonna answer your sister” asked Brennan

Applejack turned a little crimson and tried to hide behind her hat. “Well he aint much to look at but I guess we could tolerate him” said AJ through her hat. Her ears sort of flopped signaling something else.

“Sis why you actin like….. Ohhhhhhh you…” before Applebloom could finish she was applebucked across the field.

“OH MY GOD, AJ what the hell?! Is she all right” asked a concerned Brennan

“She’ll be fine. We rough house like that all the time. Now I should probably show you your room for now.

“Ohh but there are no rooms deary, they are all used up” said an old sounding mare behind them. “Now you mind tellin me who this young feller is Applejack or do I have to figure it out myself” said the witty old mare

“Umm Granny Smith, this is Brennan. He’s new here and needed a place to stay” explained Applejack.

“Nice to meet you” said Brennan offering a hand to the elderly mare.

“Nice to see a young man with some manners” she said firmly shaking Brennan’s hand. But I’d hate to say that we don’t have any spare rooms.

“Well there’s gotta be something we can do” said Applejack.

“Well deary, if you don’t mind company, I guess you can share. He looks like he won’t cause no trouble”

At that a slight hue of pink rose on the orange mare’s face. Granny Smith laughed.

“Aw don’t worry deary, I’m sure Big Mac’ll come to the rescue if he does try anything”

Good thing they weren’t looking at Brennan. The boy was in anime shock. Granny smith said farewell and left them alone.

Silence occurred for awhile as no one dared to move. Eventually AJ guided Brennan up the stairs, past her sibling’s rooms, and to her’s. AJ’s room was pretty big with a queen size bed in the middle of it, some drawers and nightstands, and her half open closet which wasn’t filled to the rafters like most girls back home.

“I’m guessin ya want to clean yourself up before getting in” said Applejack

Brennan thought about the day’s activities and agreed he needed a shower. He wanted to add a joke to the end of her statement but he thought better of it. “Yeah sounds good”
AJ gave him his essentials and directed him to the bathroom. Brennan followed them and took a shower, thinking about the day and what might come from this night. He also thought about back home, wondering if anyone was missing him and Greg or even noticing if they were gone.

After his shower, he brushed his teeth with the toothbrush AJ gave him, put on the clothes from her brother that he didn’t wear anymore and headed back to the room. When he got there Applejack was preparing herself for a shower as well. The only problem was that Brennan walked in as she was selecting her panties. AJ was red as a stoplight when she noticed him and so did Brennan. Brennan , moved quickly out the door and apologized to her.

“Sorry, sorry I should have knocked, please don’t kill me” he said

“It’s okay sugarcube, I forgot you were here” she replied

Applejack eventually came out of her room and walked to the bathroom. Brennan then entered the room and sat on the floor, unsure of what to do. He started thinking more about this situation and how this night would go down.
“You can do this Brennan, so what if it’s your first time sleeping with a girl. You’re not actually “sleeping” with her so it’s just like sharing with your siblings. I hope I don’t make things seem funny, especially with that Big Mac guy I heard about” he thought
A quiet but audible “Eeyuup” echoed in his ears.

“What was that… I don’t even wanna know” Brennan said shrugging it off

Applejack soon returned from her shower. Her hair still wet and let down and she was only wearing a T-shirt and some panties. Not an easy thing to see before getting in bed with a girl.

“Why are you on the floor, the bed is there darling” she asked

“I know, I just didn’t know if you were actually going to go through it” said Brennan

“Yes, I meant what I said, now come on” she said gesturing him to the bed. “Now before we git in, I’m going to lay down some rules. First: stay on yer side of the bed, Second: No funny business, Third: I know I’m a girl but if I feel anything funny on me… well you saw what happened to Applebloom, and fourth: If you snore, we’re going to have a bad time sugarcube. GOT IT!!” said AJ

“Yes ma’am” “No morning wood for this guy” he thought

“Good now, get in”

Brennan got in and situated himself as did Applejack and then she turned off the lights. They didn’t really position themselves in their normal sleeping habits since another person was with them so they just lay awkwardly for awhile.

“I never got a clear picture of you earlier” said Applejack

“Well we did have some interference” said Brennan

“What’s yer world like, is it all busy like Canterlot or like our sleepy little Ponyville”

“Depends on where you are, some places are like Canterlot, some like Ponyville, even some like Sweet Apple Acres.”

“What kind of job did you have?”

“Well, I’m not in a job right now I’m kind of skimping around with the work I can find. Rents a little hard to come by”

“I’m sorry to hear that but hey you’re living rich in Equestria” giggled Applejack.

Brennan gave a chuckle “Yeah I guess so”

“Do you have any friends, what are they like”

“I have a few; I guess they’re unique in their own ways kind of like your friends. I enjoy them, couldn’t ask for more”

“Sounds mighty nice, what about your family, your parents” she asked with a little more energy in her voice

“My parents… well I haven’t seen them in a few months but I guess they’re doing okay. Just like my friends they’re really great. The best in my opinion, we’ve had some great times”

“That’s funny most folk don’t talk about their parents like that when they’re grown. You must be special” joke Applejack

“Well what about your parents, what are they like” Brennan asked.

The warm feeling in the room dispersed and AJ fell silent as she turned away from Brennan. Brennan could sense something was wrong but he couldn’t tell what. He sort of looked around the room and by the moonlight he saw a lot of pictures of Applejack and her siblings but only with Granny Smith and not her parents. That’s when it hit him and he heard Applejack start to sniffle.

“Applejack, I’m…. I’m so sorry I didn’t mean…” Applejack started to shake and her sniffles got louder.

Brennan felt a blow right to the heart, “way to go dumbass”.

“Applejack I’m sorry” said Brennan as he leaned and hugged her but almost immediately pulled away after realizing what he was doing. Applejack stopped shaking and lay still.

“AJ, I’m sorry please I didn’t mean to do that”.

Applejack turned around and Brennan could see tiny streaks of tears on her freckled face. He prepared for the worst but only received a tight embrace as Applejack pulled him to her and hugged him, putting her face in his chest and started to cry softly. After getting over her initial feel of her surprising strength and touch, Brennan embraced her back and held her as she cried into him.

All he said were apologies to her as she did. He let her cry as long as she wanted. When she finished she pulled back from him, his shirt soaked in tears and looked at him.

“It’s okay, you didn’t know, It’s just bees so long since any of us have talked about them”

“Would you mind me asking... what happened” asked Brennan

AJ was quiet for a minute. “No I guess not. Big Mac is the oldest out of us, me obviously second and then Applebloom. I remember when Mah and Pa told us she was going to be our new sister. A few months later Mah gave birth to her. Everything, looked like it was just getting better and better. Sadly, two months later, Mah and Pa went off to do some errands for the day. Soon noon turned into evening, and evening into late night. We started to get really worried about them. Then we got a knock at the door”
“There were two cops at our door and our worst fears were confirmed. Mah and Pa were in some freak accident that we still don’t know what truly happened to them. It was so bad, that for the funeral the caskets were closed. That was the hardest thing to deal with, not being able to see them one last time. It’s even harder to know Applebloom will never get to know them and she even says she has faint memories of them” Applejack clenched tighter to Brennan. “So then we moved in with Granny, and we’ve been here ever since. Life’s gotten better but the past still hurts” she put her head back in his chest wanting to cry again.

Brennan however put a hand under her chin and pointed her up to him.

“I may not know what it’s like to lose a parent, but I know what it is to lose a loved one” he said

“You’ve lost family” she asked

“and friends” replied Brennan

“Wow I’m sorry Brennan”

“It’s okay AJ life’s not always easy, when it knocks us down we have to pick ourselves back up and keep moving. I feel that’s what my loved ones would want”

“I just hope mine would be happy with what me and Big Mac have tried to do with our lives” said Applejack wanting to look down.

“Applejack…” She looked into his eyes. Brenna could see those emerald green eyes in the dark, her long blonde hair looked like it could glow all by itself, her tears glistened in the moonlight amplifying her freckles.

“I haven’t known you long but from what I know right now, your parents would be downright proud and overjoyed with who you have become and what you have done for your family. I’m sure Granny Smith feels the same, if not more” he said wiping away her tears.

“Thank you… Thank you so much Brennan” she said smiling

“You’re Welcome”

They heard the sound of a door opening and the small steps of a filly who was muttering to herself as she went to her room and closed the door. Brennan and Applejack busted out in laughter and after realizing they were still holding each other, pulled away.

“Well this has been a bit interesting but I think we should hit the hay” said Applejack

“Yeah, it is getting late and it looks like you have payback in the morning” said Brennan

*Pfft* “I aint got no worries” she said laughing. “and you have a lot of work ahead of ya human boy”

“You know, I’m actually looking forward to it” said Brennan “Well goodnight” he said turning on his side.

“Wait… Can…. Can you hold me until I fall asleep” she asked

“You’re kidding right, what are you a kid” Brennan asked

“Well since you got me on the topic, it was something my parents used to do with me”

“Awww trying to put the guilt trip on me huh…. Get over here”

Applejack crawled her way into Brenna’s arms and got into a comfortable position.

“Thank you kindly” she said

“What happened to staying on your side of the bed” Brennan remarked

“Do you want me to knock you out again” she asked

*Silence*

“That’s what I though; the other rules still apply and don’t think “this” means anything”

Brennan just laughed. “Okay I get it”

Brennan waited until Applejack fell asleep. He knew when this happened because she began to snore, not loudly but rather quite cut making a little *choo* as she breathed out.

“Don’t snore huh, haha I see. Too bad your cute or else I’d jump all on you in the morning” he whispered.

He gently placed her on her side of the bed and layed on his back. Brennan thought about Greg and how his night went. “Knowing Greg Twilight had an “Interesting” night” he thought to himself. He didn’t ponder on it much for sleep was taking over him. “Goodnight Sweet Cheeks, you adorable snorer” he said as he closed his eyes.

On AJ’s side of the bed if you were there, you would see a faint smile curve upon the southern pony’s lips.

*******

Greg’s night took a very different route from Brennan’s. “So where is this library of yours” asked Greg

“It’s right there” said Twilight pointing to a tree house like building.

“That’s your library? It has a tree house! That is so cool” exclaimed Greg

“You really think it’s that cool” asked Twilight curiously

“Yeah I do, I’ve always wanted to have my own tree house but I never had trees big enough to”

“Well I’m glad you like it. You said you like books, what kind of books exactly” Twilight asked

“Well any kind really. If it catches my eye I’m bound to read it”

“That so, well I’ve got just the book for you” Twilight giggled.

They soon arrived at the house and entered.

“It’s even bigger on the inside than I thought” said Greg as he looked around in amazement at all the books and rooms

“How’d you end up with this place” Greg asked Twilight

“Well when I first came to Ponyville, the princess gave it to me. At first I was just in it for the books but it’s a home to me now”

“Wow that’s pretty cool” said Greg as he browsed the immense collection of books

*YAWN*

“Hey Twilight, when did you get in-” the purple dragon’s sentence was cut short at the sight of Greg. “Umm Twilight, you realize someone’s stealing your books”

“No he’s not, this is Greg” Twilight introduced as Greg continued reading

“Ohh so this was the guy you were talk…”

“SPIIKE, hey how about grabbing me my spell book will ya” said Twilight frantically

“Spell book, why do you…”

“Just do it!!!”

“Okay okay, jeez” said Spike walking off

“So Greg what are you reading”

“No idea, but it’s really interesting”

Twilight looked over Greg’s shoulder to peek at what he was reading. After reading a couple of lines herself Twilight began to visibly blush. “Ummmm…. Greg”

“Yes Twilight??”

“That’s um… that’s an erotica” said Twilight not looking Greg in the eye

“Wait, what” Greg immediately put the book back on the shelf. “I had no idea it was porn I swear!! The title said “The Rogue and the Mare”

Twilight shook her head in embarrassment. “Yeah sad to say we are very cleaver in hiding things like that” she said. “What genres do you like, I can take you to them”

“I’m scared to look now”

“It’s okay Greg; we have more than just that kind of thing”

“Well, I do like fantasy novels”

“Okay. Fantasy, that’s section 205, row 25, slots 20-89. Come one” she said guiding Greg

They made their way through the library house weaving left and right through the book cases. They finally made it to the Fantasy section after what seemed like forever to Greg.

“Here they are” said Twilight

“Cool, thanks” Greg began to look at the books as Twilight kind of stood and watched. Spike eventually returned with Twilight’s book.

“Here you go Twilight, so is he….”

“Yes Spike he is staying with us for the night, so if you don’t mind…”

“Oh don’t worry Twi, I get it” snickered Spike as he walked out of the room.

“Wait, that wasn’t what I meant…”

“Yeah, yeah suuure” said Spike walking out of the room.

“What was he talking about” said Greg

“OHHH nothing” said Twilight

“You sure? Okay”

“Hey, what do you do for fun besides reading” Twilight asked

“Watch anime, play video games, mainly drawing” said Greg

“What’s anime? Here we have something called Ponymation if that’s the same thing” said Twilight

“Sounds the same to me” said Greg as he pulled out his sketch pad and started drawing

“Ummm what are you drawing and where’d you get those” asked Twilight

“I had my pad the whole time. You guys just never noticed, and I’m drawing you” said Greg as cool as can be
Twilight’s face widened in surprise. “Why are you drawing me” she said trying to cover up what wasn’t revealed.
“Because you’re standing there and I felt like drawing. No need to overreact” said Greg calmly again working his magic
“Well, warn me before you start drawing me” said Twilight. “And by the way, why do you have that birdhouse Greg, you’ve been carrying it since you left the hospital”

The birdhouse that you’ve probably forgotten by now was revealed as Greg looked at it. “Oh that, well I thought it’d be a nice gift for Fluttershy for the incident we had.

“Did you make that or steal it” questioned Twilight

“Neither. I just woke up in the hospital and it was just sitting on my nightstand. Brennan said that some crazy fake doctors came in and put it there”

“Ooookay, I’ll just take your word for it. Greg I do have to ask you one more question before I show you around the rest of the house.
How did you and Brennan acquire your magic??”

“Well we met in high school, played in the band together and all that but we didn’t become friends until after we had to run away from the whole school”

“Why is that?”

“Because of our magic accident… see we found this really old book that was full of old spells and what not. At first we were just playing around, thinkin that it wasn’t real magic. Then one day at school we decided to have a magic fight. We charged up our powers and then before you knew it, BOOM. We literally blew the roof right off of the school”

“Oh my, that’s awful, who was chasing you” said Twilight hooked on the tale

“The football team, the band, the teachers, a lot of people. The only ones who didn’t come after us were our friends, and they just cheered us on while we ran”

“Wow, I don’t know what a football team is but that sounds dangerous. Almost like in The “Adventures of Daring Do”, one of my favorite series” exclaimed Twilight

“Really? I’m gonna have to read that now since you do”

“Why is that?”

“Because I trust your judgment on a good book, plus you appear to be an expert on them” said Greg with a smile

Twilight began to blush a little at the compliments. “O-oh, well, thanks for trusting me. I actually have most of the series, here. Rainbow is borrowing a few; she doesn’t want anyone to know so keep it to yourself. If you want I can get them but maybe I need to show you around the rest of the house. I’m sure you want to clean up before bed too”

*Grumble*

“And maybe a little snack”

“Ha-ha, yeah I forgot about that… Shall we” said Twilight offering the way to the next room

“Let’s” said Greg as they went to the next room which, to Greg’s luck, was the kitchen. “Awesome I’m gonna cook breakfast in the morning”

“You don’t have to do that Greg, you’re a guest” said Twilight caught a little off guard by the statement.

“But I gotta pay you back somehow; I can’t just mooch off you gals and then not do anything in return”

“Greg its really fine, it’s what friends are for”

“Exactly, so it’s decided, I’m cooking you breakfast and I won’t take no for an answer” Greg said with a big smile.

Twilight mad a pouty face at him

“Awww you look adorable when you make your face look like that” laughed Greg

“Watch yourself, you may have nice compliments but it doesn’t mean I’m easy to handle or can be assertive”

“Ha-ha whatever you say Miss Sparkle. Now shall we continue the rest of the tour, or am I gonna have to get lost”

“How would you get lost in this house” asked a puzzled Twilight

“You’d be surprised by what happens to me on an almost daily basis”

“Well okay, I wouldn’t want you to get “lost” so moving on”

They continued the tour of the house while outside, they were being watched by two mares, one green and one blue with binoculars.

“Hmmmmm I wonder what that thing is doing with Twilight” said the green one.

“It doesn’t matter” said the blue one. All that matters is that we get the inside scoop on these two, and get more DNA samples”

“Okay then boss” said the green one and they went back to spying.

Meanwhile back in the house Twilight was showing Greg her room.

“I like the open floor plan and that’s a pretty nice view from your window… IS THAT A BALCONY” exclaimed Greg rushing over

“Umm yes it is. Why do you like balconies” asked Twilight

“I love em, gives you a fantastic view of nature, even though it tried to kill me the moment I landed here”

“Your all over the place Greg, how does Brennan handle you” she said as they made their way on the Balcony

“No idea, but I guess he mana-” suddenly the balcony creaked and the railing broke, sending Greg Crashing to the ground.

“Oh my Creator, Greg are you okay” asked a panicking Twilight teleporting to the ground floor. Greg lay face down in the small crater he had created. “Sweet Celestia, I knew I should have gotten that damn thing fixed, are you okay Greg” said Twilight absolutely losing it.

Greg slowly got up. “Yeah I’m fine, just a little banged up is all”

“Twilight are you all right” called Spike from the window

“Yes Spike I’m fine, the railing on the balcony broke and Greg fell but he’s fine” she replied

“Oh…. Well that’s good” said Spike going back to sleep knowing everything was fine

“Well at least you’re oka-” Twilight stopped as she saw blood drip from where Greg’s head hit the ground, the thousandth head wound that day.

“OH HAY, your head again, hold on I’ve got this”. Twilight thought up a spell and her hron began to glow as she cast it. Medical supplies started to float from her house and began treating Greg’s wounds.

“It’s amazing I’m not damaged from all of this head trauma” said Greg

“You’re telling me, it doesn’t make sense why but from the things I’ve seen, it’s not too surprising” said Twilight almost done patching him up

“You’ve must’ve seen quite a lot then. Well I don’t know about you but this has made me hungry and tired. So before we go to bed I declare we have a snack” said Greg obviously not caring about what happened

Twilight rolled her eyes

“Maybe your randomness is caused by all these head wounds. Could be why you’re always hungry too” said Twilight

“Well even if I’m not wounded or random I’m still hungry a lot. Normally when I have to buy food, I buy at least two carts worth of it”

“How do you not get fat, and how greedy can you be” said Twilight, finished with the task and sending the things back where they came

“It’s not greed, I have a high metabolism” defended Greg getting up

“Maybe a little too high, In fact I’m a little scared to let you in my supply”

“I promise not to eat you out of house and home. It’s just a little before bed snack”

“Hmmmmmm I don’t know……”

“Please, just a little bit” begged Greg

“What’s in it for me” she asked

“What do you want?”

“You know its dangerous giving a lady options”

“Eh, I’ve been told that I give people too many options before but seriously what do I gotta do to get some food”

“Well, I expect that breakfast you offered tomorrow and I only have one bed so I’m giving you the option of having it since I was originally going to let you sleep on the balcony, and third, I’m going to give you books to read and I want reports on your thoughts of them. Also I want to be able to trust you.”

“Trust me with what” asked Greg

“Well I know Rainbow is Rainbow with new comers but I have to say I agree with her this time, you guys have to earn our trust”

“And how pray tell, am I to do that”

“You’ll figure it out when the time comes, in the meantime let’s get you that snack” Twilight said, and off they went into the house

After the snack they were off to bed

“So wait, where am I sleeping again Twilight” asked Greg

“Whelp you have the option of sleeping in my bed and me somewhere else or I guess you can find somewhere else to sleep”

“I’d hate to kick you out of your room so I guess I’ll find a stack of books to sleep with”

“Oh no, those aren’t all mine, so I can’t risk getting them damaged”

“Hmmm, well then it looks like I’m sleeping on the balcony”

“Its broken silly, looks that fall did you harm after all”

“Haha, I’d hope not but then where else is there to sleep”

“I don’t know maybe outside I guess” said Twilight with the straightest face

“Awww, that’s cold Twilight”

“Yup, well bye” said Twilight with a smile teleporting Greg outside.

“Well this sucks. Oh well, gotta deal with it” And with that Greg decided to climb the tree of the house and look for a good
spot. After a short climb he got himself comfy and started to go to sleep. “Man this has been one long ass day”
Suddenly Greg felt the sensation of teleportation and he was back in Twilight’s house.

“I was just kidding with you, I didn’t think you’d actually leave” she said giggling

“Well it wouldn’t be the first time I slept in a Tr- what the Fudge cakes?!”

Greg noticed Twilight was dressed in different attire then a few minutes ago. It seemed to be her nighttime outfit. It was
quite sexy somepony might say with the black silk nightdress revealing her curves and bringing out some of her more private features and her long blue stripped socks putting it in a way where it had a studious touch to it , making it hard to bear the amazing sight.

“What’s wrong Greg, everything all right” asked Twilight concerned that he might be in pain

“Yeah… yeah, just didn’t think I was coming in is all” he said trying not to reveal his internal emotions on his face

“Okay, well the bed is available to you, no buts about it” she said in almost assertive tone

“What?! But the floor is so comfy looking, I think I’ll sleep there”

“Like I said, you don’t have a choice” said Twilight as she crawled over Greg getting face to face. Twilight’s horn started to
glow.

“Uh, what are you doing” asked a surprised Greg

“Oh don’t worry, you’ll know later” she said as her spell casted
Suddenly Greg began to feel his eye lids close but he tried to fight. Soon the power of the spell over took him. Twilight put the unconscious Greg on her bed and wrapped him up.

“Such a weird boy… such a crazy situation we’re in” thought Twilight. “It’s awesome that he’s in to books and things I like but he also doesn’t seem quite right, the way I would imagine, yet why do I feel something with him? I fear for the girls because our time is coming up and I don’t wanna know what we might do to everypony, especially these guys. I just hope they’ll forgive us, especially Greg tonight. Maybe we can work something out” Twilight thought as she crawled into bed closing the curtains, shutting the outside world for the night.
