Chapter 1

     "Aaron, what's going on?" the young space traveler said into her speaker, trying to regain control of her spacecraft.

     "Your engine's blown." Aaron said, panic in his voice, "You're going down fast. It seems you're landing in-"

     "Aaron? Hello? Aaron!? Rats." Wren tried desperately to steer her vessel away from the planet.

     Wren was, commonly known as, an Incedential . Through they came in multiple colors. Wren was a dark blue one, with brown hair, and sparkling red eyes. Incedential's had wings, so did Wren. Her ears were alike to those that inhabited the planet she was crashing on.

     Incedetials were travelers. Their home world was a tourist attraction. Their homes were there, but adventure was what most craved.

     Wren knew the crash could kill her. But that wouldn't be fun, considering she plays a major part in this story. Wren had just crashed into the planet known as Mythanica, in the region of Equestria.

     "Have it's injuries treated, and when it awakes, bring it to me." Wren heard before passing out again.

     "This creature is unlike anything I've seen before." another voice, "What is it?"

     "I think it's an alien."

     "Look, it's waking up. Hello." a stallion said, "Do you speak English?"

     "Strange, I didn't think so many planets called it English." Wren said.

     "Ah, so it speaks. What is your name?"

     "I'm Wren."

     "Tell me, Wren, are you a colt or a filly?"

     Wren racked her brain. Colt meant... boy? And filly meant... girl?

      "Um, does filly mean girl?" she asked.

      "Alright, the Princess wanted to see you when you awoke. Follow me." the stallion trotted out of the room.

      Wren shakily go up. She was badly injured.

      "Are you coming?" the stallion asked.

      Wren walked down the hall with the stallion. "So what's your name?" she asked, looking at the mosaics on the wall.

      "I'm Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard, and brother to the Element of Magic." he said.

      "So you have a sister?" Wren asked.

      "Yes, she's very successful. She's a princess now. Is something wrong?" he noticed the creature looked sad.

      "Sorry, it's just, I have two brothers." she said. You have three brothers. he mind told her.

      "The Princess is in here." Shining Armor opened the door.

      "Your Highness, this is Wren, a female." he said.

      "Thank you, Shining Armor. You are dismissed. Please send the Elements of Harmony in." a regal looking pony said.

      "Right away your highness." Shining Armor saluted, then ran outside.

      "So, I know you are Wren. I am Princess Celestia. It's a pleasure to meet you."

      "You too." Wren replied. Then six ponies came in.

      "Princess, is this the creature you were talking about?" a pink one said, "It looks funny! What's it's name? What is it? Does it drink chocolate rain?"

      "This is Wren." Princess Celestia said, "She is from another planet. I would like you six to watch over her while she stays in Ponyville."

      "Wait, what?" Wren said.

      "I've already had a home readied for you."

      "Princess are you sure this is a good idea? An unidentified creature roaming the streets of Ponyville? That just doesn't sound very safe. She could be dangerous and-" a purple unicorn was cut off.

      "Twilight, I have had encounters with this kind before. She is perfectly safe." Princess Celestia said.

      "I don't like this one bit." a rainbow maned Pegasus said.

      "I don't think you guys are giving her a chance." a yellow Pegasus said.

      "Ah think she could be of use." a farm pony said.

      "She seems not to know of fashion." a unicorn said, pointing to Wren's sleeveless green hoodie and jeans.

      "Y'all aren't giving 'er a chance!" the farm mare said.

      "I agree with Applejack. She could be very useful, and fun."

      "Yeah, I'm with those two!" Wren said.

      "I trust you to follow Fluttershy and Applejack's examples." the princess said, "You are dismissed."

Chapter 3

   "I was thinking I could show you a few things." Wren said, "Your name's Rarity, right?" She lounged in the doorway of the Carousel Boutique, holding a brown suitcase.

   "What could you possible want to show me?" Rarity asked.

   "Well, Twilight said you liked dresses..." Wren proceeded to open the suitcase, which held several different dresses. All of them where beautiful in their own special way.

   "Oh, darling!" Rarity cheered, "You must tell me about these dresses!"

   "Well, I keep these around in case I have to slip into a formal event." Wren pulled a white one with gold trims out, "This one is usually for those super formal things, but it's one of my favorites."

   "I can see why, dear." Rarity said, "The laces! The colors! Simply fantastic! I just must see it in action!"

   "I go change into it." Wren walked into the changing rooms.

   When he came out, she looked absolutely stunning. Her dress had holes for her wings, which were at their full extent, adding to the wonder.

   "Darling!" Rarity said, "That looks absolutely divine on you. You must try on the others. I need to see them."

   And so, Wren showed Rarity all the dresses. It totaled about thirty minutes, but it was fun.

   "Thank you, darling." Rarity said as Wren was leaving, "I don't know how I could ever repay you for the inspiration you've given me."

   "No problem, I'll see you." Wren left.

I have a dress to make. Rarity thought as she entered the boutique again, Good thing we took those photos, or I would be lost!

Chapter 5

     "Think you're fast, newbie?" Rainbow Dash sped through a cloud like it was nothing.

     "You'll just have to see, Rainbow Crash, was it?" Wren did a small swirl, before returning next to the rainbow maned pegasus.

     "Oh, it's on. Firstonetosugarcubecornerwins!" At that, the mare sped off, only to find Wren was still next to her.

     Rainbow Dash took a turn, a shortcut, you could say. Only to find Wren was somehow in front of her now.

     "What?!" Rainbow Dash said astonished, "How did you-"

     "Basic. Training" was all Wren replied, before reaching the sweet shop.

     "Wow, Wren. I didn't think you could fly so fast." Rainbow Dash landed next to her, "You're cool in my book. Heck, 20% cooler. Stop by if you ever need any help." Rainbow Dash flew off to go get a picture copied.

     "Well, that was fun." Wren started walking along the streets, admiring a beautiful day in Equestria.

Chapter 6

    "Wow, your animals are so cute, Fluttershy." Wren pet a small rabbit.

    "Thank you, Wren. But you don't have to." Fluttershy smiled.

    "C'mon, Fluttershy, I'm just giving you a compliment." Wren saw a bunch of miscellaneous animal-related objects scattered amongst the ground, "Need help cleaning up?"

    "You wouldn't want-"

    "Come on, I can help." Wren placed a box of animal food out of their reach.

    "Thanks, Wren." Fluttershy placed a bowl on a counter, "Do you have any pets of your own?"

    "Yeah, want to know about any in particular?"

********

    "Goodbye, Wren!" Fluttershy said, "I hope to have you come by soon."

    "You too, Fluttershy."

Chapter 7

    "Nice place you got here." Wren looked around, "Beautiful, truly beautiful."

    "Them trees always do look better this tome of year, Ah reckon." Applejack sighed.

    "How about I get a taste?" Wren asked, "Maybe this batch can surpass the best apples I ever tasted."

    "That being?" Applejack asked.

    "Galaxies away, but still delicious. I think I'll stop by next time I can." Wren put her hands on her hips.

    "Ah bet these'll be the most srumdidlydunctious apple y'all have ever tasted." Applejack said.

    "I don't know," Wren said carelessly, "Let's see how things run around here, shall we?"

    "Ah reckon we shall." Applejack tossed her a ripe, red apple.

    "I must say, impressive." Wren said.

    "How'd y'all like them apples?" Applejack bucked a tree, while cascades of red and green fruits fell into baskets.

    Wren stared at the apple, lost in thought.

    "Sometin' wrong, Wren?" Applejack asked.

    "What?" Wren snapped out of it, "Sorry, we have an apple tree back home."

    "Home," Applejack said, "Ah learned tha meanin' of that years 'go. I was just a little filly."

    "You're a good friend, AJ." Wren said.

    "You too, Wren."

    "So are the others." Wren smiled.

Chapter 8 (final chapter)

    Wren knew it had been long enough, and any day now, she would have to leave. A ship would come, and she'd go back home. This planet was risky to get to, so she'd probably never return. She decided to make something of what could probably be her last day here. She decided to go on a picnic.

     Later that day, Wren sat in one of the fields around Ponyville with Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack. It was a delicious meal, which consisted of sandwiches and apple pie.

     "Guys," Wren looked down, "I'm going to have to leave, soon."

     "What?" Rarity asked, "Why?"

     "I have a family, back home." Wren said, "Two brothers, and a boy I really like."

     "Can you come back ind visit?!" Pinkie asked.

     "No, this squadron is real outta the way," Wren said, "Not to mention dangerous to get to. I won't return unless I need to."

     "This is goodbye?" Twilight asked.

     "Any day now." Wren sighed, "Can I get a picture? I can give you all copies."

     "Sure." Rainbow Dash said as Wren pulled out a camera.

     "Everypony smile, smile, smile..." Pinkie grinned. There was a flash, and the picture was taken. Wren hit a few buttons on the screen, and seven copies were given.

     "This'll be safe." Applejack said.

     "I'll miss you, Wren." Fluttershy said, "You were so nice to my animals."

     "And your powers are fascinating." Twilight said.

     "Your speed is amazing." Rainbow said.

     "Yer strength out on the fields was jus' right." Applejack said.

     "Andyouareamazingatmakingcupcakes!!" Pinkie said.

     "And your fashion sense is wonderful, darling." Rarity said.

     "You guys are all great in your own special ways." Wren said.

     "I almost forgot!" they all said at once. Twilight teleported, Rainbow flew, and the rest ran away. Twilight returned first, then the rest.

     "We all got or made you something." Twilight handed her a copy of a legend book, "It has us in there, so if you ever want to know what we've done, just open it up."

     "I made you a dress." Rarity handed her a green and yellow dress with silver linings.

     "I found this book." Fluttershy handed her a book on animal care, "So if you ever forget, just remember this."

     "I got you a picture." Rainbow Dash handed her a picture, "It's called a Sonic Rainboom, I've done plenty."

     "Ah know this ain't the original." Applejack gave her a dark brown hat, which had to be a few years younger than hers, "But it's all yers."

     "I got you the cupcake recipe!" Pinkie handed her a slip of paper.

     "You guys-" Wren started, when a noise interrupted her.

     "Wren!" a voice called.

     "Aaron?" Wren asked, "Aaron!" She got up and stood next to the much taller man.

     "This is my older brother, Aaron." she said, "Aaron, this is Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack."

     "You've met the creatures here?" Aaron asked, "You understand what kind of scientific discoveries we can make from this? You know what this can do, right?" Aaron was a green Incedential, though he had the same hair color as Wren.

     "Aaron!" Wren said, "Say 'hello' before science!"

     "Well, Daniel is expecting you home soon," Aaron said, "And Chris is watching the ship."

     "I... have to say goodbye, and get my things." Wren looked at her friends, "I'm sorry I have to leave right after I told you I was."

     "No problem, sugarcube." Applejack said.

                                                                                               *******

     "I guess this is goodbye." Rainbow Dash said.

     "We won't forget you, Wren." Fluttershy said.

     "I hope you have fun back home!" Pinkie said.

     "Make sure ta take care, now." Applejack said.

     "Don't ruin that dress now, darling, it was expensive!" Rarity said.

     "I look forward to seeing you again." Twilight smiled. They then watched as Wren's ship flew away, not to be seen again for a while.

Epilogue

    Wren walked down the street of a town she had been to recently, though they seemed foreign.

    "Wren!" a girl said, "Wren, you'll get caught. My friends'll ask about you. Get inside, quick!"

    "Sorry, RP." Wren said, "I was wondering when they sequel will come out?"

    "Wren, are you crazy?!" RP opened FIMFiction, and pulled up 'An Outer Perspective' "Look at these likes. 10 in total, only 4 are actually likes. Why would there be a sequel to something nobody likes? It's worse than Justin Bieber, everybody hates it."

    "But there's an epilogue." Wren said.

    "Dang, you're right." RP said, "We'll just ask them." RP started typing "They'll probably say no."

    "Mystery still surrounds my past..." Wren said, "Come on, please tell me you wanna sequel!"

    "They have weird tastes," RP said, "Though very creative."

    "Well, I guess they'll never know about Je-" Wren's mouth was covered by RP's hand.

    "Don't reveal anything now, Wren." RP said, "We still don't know about that sequel, which'll BE BETTER THAN THE FIRST."

    "Yes, there'll be many twists and turns." Wren said, "But an all around wonderful story."

    "So, make your choice, peasants, because it may be your last." RP laughed.

Chapter 2

       "So, Twilight, what can I do to let you trust me?" Wren leaned against one of the library walls.

       "Wren, I swear, you really wouldn't understand." Twilight answered.

       "So you aren't looking for a book titled, 'Daring Do and The Sapphire Stone'?" Wren asked.

       "How did you-"

       "We're a very advanced species." Wren then proceeded to open a small portal next to her. She stuck her hand through, grabbed something, and handed the book to Twilight.

       "Under your bed, along with some very interesting stuff, you dirty pony." Wren giggled.

       "Fine, have you seen Spike?" Twilight asked.

       "He's at Sugarcube Corner, trying to talk Pinkie into giving him another cupcake."

       "Fine if you're so psychic, what am I thinking?" Twilight asked.

       "It doesn't work like that, but if you must know what I'm thinking..." Wren took a sip of water, opened a portal, and dumped the remaining on Twilight's head.

       "You prankster. Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Twilight sat down next to Wren.

       "Well, what is there to know?" Wren asked.

       "Tell me about your family."

       "Well, I have a big brother, a little brother, and a twin brother. My Mom died finishing my orb." Wren said.

       "Your what?"

       "Well you see, my kind is kind of born through orbs. Usually, one of our parents will sacrifice one of their sides, light or dark, while also giving a bit of their other side. These orbs are to set off at a random time. and a parent is usually there to help it. I came from a twin orb, which gives two instead of one."

       "Please, tell me more." Twilight smiled.

Chapter 4

    "Hi new pony!" Pinkie said, "What brings you to the extra fantastical Sugarcube Corner?"

    "Hi, Pinkie. I was wondering if I could get a cupcake." Wren asked.

    "Certainly!" Pinkie said, "Oh wait, we ran out. Look like we're going to have to bake more." She rubbed her hooves together.

    "Uh, Pinkie I-" Wren started.

    "No time to waste!" Pinkie grabbed Wren's hand with her hoof, and dragged her into the kitchen.

    "First we add the flour, eggs, and sprinkles!" Pinkie somehow poured three full bags of the ingredients into the bowl at once.

    "Oh, alright, well-" Wren started again.

    "Oh! I almost forgot!" Pinkie slammed an apron onto Wren, "You're gonna need this!"

    "Alright, what's next?" Wren asked.

    "Okay! you stir while I prepare the oven!" Pinkie started running around collecting pans and pots.

    Wren hummed a slight tune while she mixed the ingredients in the bowl.

    "Oh! You sing too?! I sing!" at that, Pinkie broke into song, "Cupcakes are delicious treats, for young and old and small! Cupcakes are for everypony, for you and me and him! Now we gotta make some cupcakes for my new friend Wren! It's gonna be, a tasty treeeeeeaaaaat for all. Of. Ponyyyyyviiiiiiiiiiille!"

    "Wow, Pinkie, that was great." Wren clapped.

    "You haven't seen anything yet,"Pinkie said, "Now put the cupcakes in the oven! And wait!"

    Thirty minutes later, they heard a ding.

    "Here you go, Wren-Wren!" Pinkie said, "Fresh outta the oven."

    Wren took a bite of her cupcake. "Thanks, Pinkie. This is delicious."
