May the Force Be With You: The Arrival

May the Force Be With You: The Arrival

Chapter III Emergence

"For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is."

---Yoda

The room remained silent as the two mares and little dragon stared in amazement as their guest levitated the latter in the air almost effortlessly. Alex stood amazed as he couldn’t believe what he saw just before him he was telekinetically lifting up a baby dragon in the air. How could he even do this, he began to think how was this even possible this was unbelievable. He was somehow someway using The Force he couldn’t even call it something else, it couldn’t be magic, a divine prank or even an Illusion. In its purest form there was only one true answer and felt as it flowed from his veins to the very palms of his hands he truly was using the Force.

Eventually, Alex set down Spike on the ground and now was questioned by a rather perplexed and very curious Twilight Sparkle.

“What was that! I thought you said that Humans had no ability for magic!” The Unicorn questioned.

“I- I Don’t know, Twilight.” Alex responded “...and what I said is true we don’t have the ability to use magic in fact I don’t even know how that just happened this is new even to me.” as he replied.

“Well there has to be a explanation, even if it’s not magic” Fluttershy said speaking up.

“Well if it’s not magic what else could it be.” Spike said.

For a moment all was silent and no one spoke until Alex came up with an idea even he thought was nearly impossible.

“...The Force.” .

“wait what? The Force... What’s the Force? “ Spike asked confused about his savior theory.

That question in mind, Alex wondered how he could explain a fictional metaphysical life force that empowered those sensitive  with a high concentration of microorganisms called midi-chlorians were able to manipulate powers beyond one own understanding to a purple unicorn, yellow pegasus and baby dragon all while trying to figure out how he even used such power to save the life of the latter.

“...Look, I really don’t know how to explain all of this but give me some time and I’ll tell you everything I can think of about it.”. Alex explained hoping Twilight would understand his reasoning and would give him the necessary time to come up with a theory to explain.

Twilight looked unto the human with skepticism, while she was more than thankful that he saved the life of her younger brother/assistant and that he was telling the truth, that display a moment ago made her want to believe otherwise could he truly use magic, or was he hiding something about his race’s abilities, while she was no applejack she could still tell if anypony lied to her and while she had her suspicions she felt that Alex deep down was telling the truth and that really she should be helping him rather than questioning him or at least understand why he dubbed it The Force, she decided with her better judgment she would help him after all he was her guest(her rather peculiar looking guest) but never the less her guest and should be treated with utmost respect that he returned to her, as she was taught by the princess.

“...Okay I understand Alex and shall take your word for it and I also wish to apologize for my questioning I was still sorta on a jolt of shock after seeing Spike fall and acted on impulse trying to understand how you still did that.” Twilight replied giving Alex a sincere look.

“it’s okay Twilight I don’t hold it against you, heck I more interested in understanding how I did that myself.” Alex replied.

“Well we could research over this ability, although it was simple telekinesis I could tell that somehow different from Magic, plus if all else fails the Princess could possibly give us an answer, speaking of which, Spike if you could take a letter please.

With that the young drake picked up a scroll and feather ready to write off.

Dear Princess Celestia,

This letter is not a Friendship report I’m afraid , but rather an interesting report over my new Human guest that I am hosting in my home which I am proudly to announce that he is non-hostile and quite intelligent even by Pony standards, He appears nearly similar to that of anypony in physical terms minus a few details however while he claims that his race has the inability to use magic, he has performed a rather unique ability of telekinesis in which he even used to save Spike from a nearly fatal fall, while he still denies that its magic, we’ve both agreed to look into the matter further and that when you receive this letter you could make an appearance to greet our guest if possible and help us understand this unknown ability that Alexander Clearleaf has dubbed the Force.

Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

And with Twilight finished, spike blew a green flame into the scroll causing it disappear, Alex stood a bit confused at why would the dragon burn the letter he just wrote.

“ wait a sec why would you burn a letter you just wrote.” Alex asked.

“Oh don’t worry about the letter it's fine, you see Spike flames have the ability to send the any letter directly to the Princess herself, we should get a reply soon if she’s not too busy.”  Twilight explained.

"Huh instant messaging through fire neat, before we start trying to figure out the force can we please first get a bite to eat I’m still Hungry.” Alex pleaded.

“Oh heh... heh right well let’s grab some lunch then we’ll talk about this Force subject later plus we can give you the official grand tour of Ponyville.” as Twilight blushed shyly at her human guess request.

“Twilight are you sure about letting  Alex go out in public is a great idea, remember Zecora.”  Spike remarked.

“...Oh right,... well there will be those who’ll worry as long as he with us, but we hopefully won’t encounter any real trouble the worst case scenario is if we get separated plus we would eventually have introduce him to everypony.”  Twilight replied.

" Yeah, that’s if they don’t either run, hide or try interrogate him and if that all doesn't come to pass Pinkie Pie eventually will.” Spike retorted.

“ Wait who’s Pinkie Pie?” Alex asked.

“Believe me you’ll find out soon enough and when you do you’ll be left in awe.” the drake replied.

Alex suddenly felt a chill as he began to think that whoever this Pinkie was she was going to be something greater than a surprise than what Spike claimed her to be.

“...Oh well I should get going then, I still have to feed Angel and the other animals, Once again it was very nice to meet you Alex I hope the others take to you nicely.” Fluttershy spoke started heading out of the library.

“It was very nice to meet you too Fluttershy take care.” Alex replied back to the shy Pegasus.

With that Fluttershy left heading home thus beginning Twilight’s tour of Ponyville giving Alex both an educational and informative tour of the town, to Alex it appeared to be a lovely little hamlet what with the Sixteenth century style houses and different vendors across town with it the very nature of the town came to him as peaceful and somehow he felt that the Force was strong with this place, something he never thought he could even sense as they walked however Alex began to feel a unnerved as a the populace of Ponyville began bear their eyes on him,” Don’t worry their just a bit surprised that all” Twilight said to him ,either in Terror, surprise or just plain shock, he even recalled one mare with a cream colored coat with a red mane with light pink highlights and emerald green eyes, wearing a green full body blouse running away as they approached her stall screaming out “the Horror, the Horror”  he now felt like a true alien

Yet he couldn’t believe the number of ponies he saw ranging from the different race, assortments of colors (he swore that he was inside a Crayola box), manes of all shapes and sizes, and even the thing they did, they were like humans in almost every way, he noticed however that the ratio of male to females were significantly lower than what he thought for almost every five mares there was only one Stallion. But this didn’t change the fact that they all had such unique qualities about them that made each of them standout from one another.

His thoughts were interrupted as he was suddenly tackled to the ground by what he thought was a speeding rainbow.

“...Alright, pal you got three seconds to tell me why you were stalking my friend, before I start to pound the living stuffing outta you!” as the Rainbow mane mare spoke.

“...Whoa whoa, Hey I wasn’t going to hurt her, in fact she was giving me a tour of the town!” Alex responded holding his hands up to face at the aggressive mare that tackled him.

“...Rainbow dash what are you doing get off of Alex he’s telling the truth I was giving him a tour of Ponyville, before you interrupted.” Twilight declared looking at Rainbow with disappointed look.

Looking back at the creature the daredevil known famously as Rainbow dash with a look of confusion, wondering what the heck the thing that she staring down even was.”..., Okay Twi, but one thing just what the heck is this gu,y he looks like a hairless ape.” the Pegasus spoke.

“...Really?, come on I'm a Human, hairless ape is just being mean.” as Alex thought.

“ Rainbow he’s not a Hairless ape he’s a Human in fact he’s my guest, I would like to introduce the two of you, Alex I would like introduce you to one of my best friends Rainbow Dash and Rainbow I would like introduce you to my Human guest, Alex Clearleaf.

The two now introduced looked back at the other with Alex giving a soft smile spoke first.

"...Nice to meet ya Rainbow Dash, You did some pretty neat flying there somewhat rough but still pretty sweet." Alex commented.

With a smirk now appearing on her face Rainbow had now taken a liking to this human.

“...Yeah, well ya know being the most awesome thing alive kinda makes everything ya do pretty cool.” as the rainbow maned mare boasted.

" Well I can see she not the modest type, but nevertheless she still cool.” the Human thought.

“Anyway sorry about tackling you like that, didn’t know what you were doing following Twilight.” Rainbow apologized to the giving an apologetic look getting up from the ground and offering Alex a hand up.

“... It’s all good, I’m not mad.” Alex replied.

“... Now that you have met us, we were going to head over to Sugarcube corner for quick snack, but if it’s too much ask, Rainbow you could go and ask Rarity and Applejack to meet up at the Library around 7:00 later to meet with Alex with everyone else.” Twilight asked.

“No prob, but what about Fluttershy and Pinkie? Rainbow asked.

Don’t worry Fluttershy already knows about him plus we’re already heading over to Sugarcube corner and will most likely meet Pinkie so there no need, but if you can go on ahead and ask the others to come the library soon.

“...Can do Twi I’ll have down in no time.” and with the Pegasus flew off to fulfill the deed.

“So I assume she’s a athlete ?” Alex asked.

“Yeah Rainbow Dash is a competitive mare a with streak of Athletic acomplishments though she can get a little fierce with newcomers, especially with unknown creatures, however she one of my best friends who'd I could never forget.”  Twilight replied.

"I don't blame ya she definitely sticks out."

"Huh, just wait 'til you meet Pinkie Pie."

The trio made their way to Sugarcube corner, Alex  could only stare in awe as he’d gazed at the large gingerbread like building, which appeared to have come out of a Children story book.

“So is this where Pinkie lives.” Alex asked in awe.

“Yes ,but really it's owned by the Cakes , Pinkie just works here as both an employee and babysitter to the cake twins ,welcome to Sugarcube corner.” as Twilight said gleefully.

With that The Trio headed inside and Alex would never be the same as he saw a Pink pony run around behind the counter almost with nearly blinding speed.

"Pinkie Pie.” Twilight spoke.

Suddenly the Pink Stream of light came to sudden halt at the counter.

“Hiya Twilight, Spike and someponywhoi’venevermetbefore.” upon looking at Alex however her eyes widen “A NEW PONY IN TOWN!” the pink party pony screamed her gaze upon Alex.

Alex looked bewildered as he looked at the Pink mare with a cotton candy mane who smiled back with expressive baby blue eyes; she wore a bright yellow shirt with light blue sleeves. She also wore a matching light blue skirt and a blue candy corn hair accessory in her pink mane.

Hi there my name Pinkie Pie, you must be new to town since I haven’t seen ya, speaking of which you look really weird for a pony but you look really nice though I like ya*gasp* wait a sec you’re not even a pony are ya are you some space alien come here to take all of our sweets.”

Suddenly Pinkie went in front of the different pastries and goodies as if she was guarding them guarding them with her life.

“YOU CAN’T TAKE THEM” as the Party pony screamed.

“...Pinkie it’s alright he not going to steal or take any of pastries, in fact I would like for you to meet Equestria’s first human guest Alex Clearleaf. Twilight said.

“...Uh hi” Alex spoke raising his hand in welcoming gesture.

“...Ooooooooooooooooh, well welcome to Ponyville Alex Clearleaf the Human sorry about calling you an alien but you still kinda look like one, anyway welcome to Equestria *gasp* Wait Twilight said that you’re the first human here and this is your first time here in Ponyville too*gasp* wehavetothrowyouawelcometoequestriaandponyvilleparty.” Pinkie said with excitement.

Needless to say Alex’s stood in bewilderment with all of what had transpired

His only thoughts came only to a few words.

“.... you were right Spike you were right.”
