Rugia

//Auther: Darkenergy345//

It was 9:30am in the morning, Twilight was deep in her studies when there came a knock at her door. From the sound of the knock it was frantic, so she answered.

"Coming", she said as whoever was behind the door began knocking again.

"Hold on I said I was coming." she huffed as she opened the door to the sight of her friends.

"Hurry up sugarcube we're gonna be late." Apple Jack said with an excited look on her face.

"late for what." she asked with an eyebrow raised.

Her friends looked shocked, Twilight was never one to be foregetful. She was always the one reminding them of important dates. For them, this came as a surprise. Twilight forgetful? At that point it didn't matter, Rarity wasn't about to stand there and wait for someone to remind her

where they needed to be.

"Darling don't tell us you forgot we are supposed to meet a new resident thats come to live in our town." Rarity said with a look of concern.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I forgot all about it", Twilight said jumping a step back, "let's get going!"

As they walked to the town hall, Rainbow Dash joined them and with the sound of impationce in her voice asked what took them so long. But her question was brushed off with the sounds of the rest of the group poping questions to each other about the new comer. They all seemed excited to see this new commer, all except Rainbow who wasn't so sure the new resident was going to be anything special.

"Ah' hear he's nothin' anypony has seen befer." said Apple Jack.

"I... hope he's... nice." said a nervous Fluttershy.

"I wonder what kind of pony he is," wondered Rarity,"Unicorn? Earth pony perhaps? Or mabe a pegasus?!"

"From what Princess Celestia said," Twilight paused,"he isn't a pony at all."

All except Rainbow Dash exchanged a series of shocked looks. What was this new resident? If he wasn't a pony, then what is he?

"What is he then?" asked Rarity.

"I don't know," replied Twilight, "Princess Celestia said that he isn't even from our planet."

"WOW, he must be an alien!" squealed Pinkie Pie with excitement.

"An alien?" scoffed Rainbow Dash, "Oh please, there are no such thing as aliens."

"But Rainbow Dash," said Fluttershy, "what if he really is an alien?"

"It could be posible Rainbow." said Apple Jack.

Rainbow just rolled her eyes and said nothing else. The rest of the way to Town Hall they continued to pop questions of what this "alien" was like. From what could be seen the whole town was talking about him. No one seemed to Know anything about this mysterious new commer. So many questions were left floating around the group. Rainbow was stil refusing to believe the whole alien thing.
While the rest of them kept getting more curious the more they discussed the matter. Soon thier questions would be answered, for they had arrived at town hall. As they entered the Town Hall, they noticed a large number of ponies had gathered inside to catch a glemps at the unusual creature. None of the mane 6 could see him passed the many heads blocking there view as they approached.
But when they got out of the crowd, they saw him. There he stood talking to the mayor. It blew thier minds, he wasn't from this world at all. He was indeed... an alien.

This being stood staight up on two legs instead of four. He only had hair on the top of his head, which to thier surprise was just like Rainbow's hair. The only difference was that his wasn't as long and did't come down over his shoulder, and was the color brown. He stood at least seven feet at the least. He wore a white short sleeve shirt with blue jeans and what looked like cowboy boots. He was slinder, and had a face that said friendly all over it. Twilight was baffled beyond belief at this sight. She never dreamed there could be such a creature like this one. To top it of there was a female fox with him that stood the same way he did and had long blond hair with a big fluffy tail and with soft green eyes. She wore a green short sleeve shirt and blue jeans but no shoes what so ever.

"It was nice talking with you," said the mayor, "and welcome to ponyville."

"Thank you," said the creature with a friendly smile, "I'm sure my wife and I will be happy here."

As he turned, his blue eyes stopped on Twilight. He looked at her with a smile and crossed his arms.

"Hello Twilight Sparkle, my name is Rugia." he said. A loud gasp came from every pony in the room. Twilight was probably more shocked than anyone else in the room. She had never met this strange creature before. And yet... he knew her name.

"How do you know my name?" she asked with wide eyes. Rugia put a hand on his chin and replied, "The stars on your side gave me the impression that your name was "Twilight"; meaning the time when the stars begin to show, and "Sparkle", from the glittering of the stars."

"You figured out my name just by looking at my cutie mark?" asked Twilight with amazement.

Rugia replied with a nod and said,"Well now, what have we here." Rugia crossed the room and knelt down to Fluttershy who let out a small whimper and tried to hide her face behind her hair.

"You have to be the most adorable pony I have seen so far."

fluttershy backed away a few steps.

"Let's see," Rugia said sitting cross-legged on the floor, "looking at the butterflies on you and your shy behavior..." He paused for a moment. "Your name is Fluttershy." he said as he reached out slowly and ran his hand through Fluttershy's mane,"Don't be scared, I think you and I are going to be good friends."Fluttershy was still afraid, and Rugia could see this. He pondered for a moment and then began rumaging through his pocket and pulled out a gold coin.He looked at it for a second or two then back at Fluttershy, who seemed to have taken a slight interest in what Rugia was doing.

"Fluttershy do you like magic tricks?" he asked in a soft tone. Fluttershy slowly nodded.

"Good," he began flipping the coin and catching it, "I may not have magic like the unicorns do, but I am a master of illusion."

He tosed the coin into the air, and as it came down he clapped his hands on it as if to catch a fly. He opened his hands to reveal that the coin had vanished.Rugia began searching all around him in a fruitless attempt to locate it. He turned to Apple Jack and started searching her ears and under her hat.

"Now where did that silly thing get to this time?" he said as he searched Pinkie's hair."Strange, I can't seem to find it."

Rugia dug into his book bag and took out a water bottle and proceeded to drink from it. He sat back down in front of Fluttershy and taped the bottle in frustration.He suddenly let out a beltch and a storm of bubbles floated from his mouth, in turn made the ponies laugh including Fluttershy. Rainbow just stood there and didn't even smirk.As the bubbles popped a dozen coins fell to the floor.

"Well I guess that expains why I have been short on money lately." he said looking at the coins on the floor. It was then the whole room roared with laughter. However Rainbow's pride kept her from laughing.

Fluttershy was feeling more comfortable around him, knowing he meant no harm to anyone. Rugia picked up the coins one after the other and placed them into his pocket. With a smile he pat Fluttershy gently on the head and turned to Pinkie who was bouncing around, excited about finding out what Rugia would do next. Rugia gave a short laugh and watched Pinkie Pie fire off a ton of comments.When Rugia guessed her name and said he loved parties and would love to come to the one she was planing tomorrow, Pinkie stood star-struck. How did he know about the party, she pondered to her self.

"Well, howdy miss Apple Jack," Rugia said turning to shake her hoof, "It's certainly a pleasure to meet you."At this point, everyone was used to the fact that Rugia could guess names. But it didn't hurt to know how he was able to figure out thier names.

"Quite honestly, your cutie mark reminded me of a cereal box." he said.

Rugia then pulled out a sticky note and scribbled something on it and handed it to Rarity, who intern read what it said.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest one of all?" she resited.

Rugia posisioned like a genie and replied, "I have an answer for thee, for it be you, beautiful Rarity who is the fairest of all."

"Oh my." Rarity said blushing at the fact that Rugia threw in a complement along with guessing her name. Rugia stood from the floor, and as he did there was an applause from the crowd.He took a bow to the crowd and began thanking them kindly. The crowd was amazed at the talents he had displayed so far. It truely was a sight to behold.One question still remained. Just how smart was Rugia? The crowd wondered this as he continued to list names of the ponies. It soon came to the point where they had to know, so Twilight was to first to ask.

"If you don't mind Rugia," Twilight looked nervous to ask this question, "how smart are you?"

"I have an IQ of one thousand, and my brain works at one hundred percent." he said.

"That's amazing." said Fluttershy.

"Well shoot," Apple Jack scratched her head with her hoof,"ah' didn't anythin' could be that smart."

"You must know everything!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

"Oh please, he doesn't know everything," Rainbow Dash stated, "I bet he's not even as smart as he says he is."

"It's best you don't judge a book by it's cover Rainbow Dash." Rugia said looking frustrated with Rainbow's comment.

Rainbow Dash blew a raspberry and looked at him with a prideful smirk. Rugia raised an I brow and took her response as a challenge.

He walked up to Rainbow and said he would name off everything that he knew about her. Rainbow laughed at him and gave him the guesture to bring it on.

"Alright," Rugia smirked, "Your name is Rainbow Dash, for as long as you can remember you have been a fan of the Wonderbolts and have always wanted to be a part of them.In the Cloudsdale flight academy you were known as "Rainbow Crash" to the other ponies for crashing into things. You however dropped out of flight school, it's a wonder you can fly at all, and became the mananger of the weather team. It surprises me that you haven't detroyed the town yet. In your free time you try to create tricks, of your own with names of course, which you want to impress the Wonderbolts. (Good luck with that). However, your greatest trait is the Sonic Rainboom. Pff, I've built machines that can travel at mach 13. So I guess on a second thought your Sonic Rainboom isn't anything special.You are stubbern, bullheaded, have a belief you are better talented than everyone around you, though you can be a loyal friend I don't find you pleasant at all, and in my opinion it's impossible to take you seriously with that stupid hair-due. So how did I do?"

Rainbow stood speachless, Rugia knew about the Sonic Rainboom, her obsession with the Wonderbolts, and her times in flight school. Rugia gave a shrug and gathered his belongings and excused himself and his wife to go find a place to build his house.

The trip to the location of where Rugia's new house was going to be was enjoyable for him. He talked with five of the mane six about their interests and his own. Rugia's wife Candace seemed to enjoy being part of the conversations as well.
Rugia talked about loving to read books as much as Twilight, the fact he could read an intire five hundred page book in under an hour. Candace mentioned her love of jewlery and her and Rarity kicked off a conversation on diamonds and gems. Rainbow Dash, unlike the rest of them did not like Rugia one bit. She didn't trust him, she believed he was hiding something. What if he's not as nice as he appears? Maybe he he's just trying to earn there trust so he could take over Equestria. What ever the case, she didn't want anything to do with him. But she couldn't leave her friends. What if he turned on them when she wasn't there? She kept wondering what it was about him that made her not trust him.

They came to a nice spot on a hill a short ways from the town where Rugia decided to build is house. When Apple Jack offered to fetch the building crew Rugia said there was no need and he pulled out a large key board from his book bag. Legs folded out from it and he sat it on the ground. It then brough up a hologram screen and Rugia began draging squares into different spots on the screen. He continued to do this until a house appeared on the screen. Rugia typed a few codes on the keyboard, a large green wire frame appeared on the ground and it took the form of a house. Sure enough a house appeared from the wire frame. The six ponies had never seen a house built that way before. Rugia did the same thing on the inside of the house and furniture appeared all throughout the house. Rugia was about to move on to situate his lab when Candace reminded him they were supposed to meet the princess. Rugia put his keyboard away and walked into a changing room and came right back out in a tux. Candace followed suit and came out in a dress.

"Shall we meet the Princess in person my darling?" Rugia held his arm out.

"Lets," Candace said taking his arm and they left the house for Canterlot.
