The Mysterious Tale of the Man Who Didn't Do Much

Chapter 7: Meeting the WHAT NOW!?

"Jack!" Twilight called from the other end of the library, "Come here please!". I got up and made my way to the five ponies huddling over a piece of parchment. "Read it, and tell me what you think." Twilight said with a look that screamed, 'I'm overly eager!' I picked up the piece of parchment and read out loud: "Dear Princess Celestia, yesterday in the late afternoon, Fluttershy came to my house to warn me of a creature that nopony had ever seen." I looked over and gave a nod of approval so far, but then continued reading, "I gathered the girls and we went back to the area of the incident. There we saw a creature very different from what I assumed I would see. It had four limbs, both bendable. It had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It sat up and looked around in confusion. Rainbow did the deed of enabling communication. To my astonishment, it could speak! After taking it to the library for interrogation," I leaned over to Twilight. "Oh I see, this is all for interrogation..." She looked and mumbled, "Not entirely..."

"Excuse me?"

"I said not entirely. Curiosity took part, no doubt. You were new! Something nopony had ever seen!"

"Seems legit." I smirked, and kept reading. The rest of the letter tells Twilight's observations and all the questions I answered. Along with the answers. It told mostly everything up until this her going out in the eye of the storm or whatever.  Everything else was uneventful. They were stuck at... Zecora's, was it? Let's go with that. Then my "Revengence". Yeah. I think I'll call it that. Wait. At the end, she wrote, "Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" My jaw dropped. "You're a student to a princess!?"

"Heh. Yeah, nothing big really." She scratched the back of her head with a floating quill. "Nothing? In my world, that would be major!"

"It is here, too. I, as well as the others, have gotten used to it."

"Huh. Interesting." Anyway that was all. I told Twilight that everything was good and she magically rolled up the parchment and floated it over to Spike. He grabbed it and- LIT IT ON FIRE. Wat. Seriously? All part of the plan? Was that just a rough draft? "Whoa, buddy. Keep the flames to a minimum..." Twilight realized I wasn't familiar with this method of written transportation. "It's fine, Jack. Those flames port the letter to the princess. He basically burps up the response." She giggled at the last part, having said burp. It was a wacky way of putting it, for sure.

Soon enough, Spike appeared to have quite the case of indigestion. "Hey pal. Feelin' alright?"

"Yeah. This is almost normal. Almost. This one might be long. Or more than one. Sometimes that'll clog me up."

"Interesting." And as I spoke, Spike burped up a scroll that was flown to Twilight. She read to herself and looked satisfied after around two or so minutes. "Uh," I spoke up, "Can I get the gist?"

"Sure you can handle it?" Twilight asked. I took an M4 off my back and stomped the stock on the ground, saluting her with a reply. "Very ready."

"You're meeting the princess."

"Meeting the WHAT NOW!?
