The next day I woke up to get ready for work, started my way from Fluttershy's cottage same old routine, until I spot Suicide, probably on his way to work also, he has the stupidest grin on his face that I have ever seen. "Hey Suicide had a good night I assume?" I ask. "You haven't the slightest idea." he says still grinning ear to ear. It took me a minute to figure out why he was smiling. "Noo, dude you didn't." I say surprised. "I did." he says. 'Lucky son of a bitch.' I think to myself. "Well I got to get to work dude, so I'll catch you after work have fun on your first day heheh."

The first day of work, normally I'd be nervous but after my night with Twilight nothing could bring me down. 'Where the hell is Dash I was supposed to meet her here' I think to myself. Then I heard from behind me "Your early" I turned to see Dash standing behind me. "Where the hell did you come from" I say startled "I didn't even hear you land" It was then I noticed the grin on her face "Oh sorry Twilight needed me to stop by this morning so I was running a little late" She chuckles 'Oh god does she know' I think to myself nervously (Yea I know I said nothing was gonna make me nervous but I wasn't expecting this...) "Oh its ok I think I'm a little early anyways" I say "Its a habit of mine." She was still giving me that weird grin and that was helping anything. "Well I guess we should get started then" She says taking off "You know how to fly right?" she asks "Yea somewhat" I answer "I'm a fast learner so if there's anything I don't know I'll pick it up quick" As we were flying to out first assignment Dash turned and asked "So how'd your date with Twilight go?" There was that grin again "It was fun" I reply "I think we both had a good time." My nervousness must have been showing cause her grin only got bigger. "Yea I heard you both had a "great" time" She says snickering "Oh god you do know" I say horrified "Well it was bound to happen, we have strong feelings for each other so I don't know what the big deal is" I say blushing "Hey I never said it was a big deal your the one making it out that way" She says laughing 'This pony gets off on trolling i swear' I think to myself "Not that I'm mad about it" I say "I didn't think she would tell anyone about it." "She's one of my best friends of course she was gonna tell us about it" she says. That statement terrified me "Us...?" I say "You mean she's gonna tell the others..." 'Oh god this isn't goin to end well.....' I think to myself in utter fear. "Haha don't worry we swap stories about our colt friends all the time" she says laughing "Well that's a relief.....not" I say sarcastically "Can we just get to work" I say trying to change the subject "Sure" she replies "This should be good for your first day on the job"
===================
Cloud wrangling was harder then I thought it would be, "Man these things don't like to move do they" I say struggling to move a cloud "I keep punching holes in them when I move them around" I look over to see Dash moving like 10 clouds at once 'Fucken showoff' I think to myself "Its all about technique' She says "Gotta know where to grab them and where not to" She says showing me the proper way to move a cloud "That woulda been nice to know sooner" I say annoyed "Hey I tried to show you," she says "but you insisted on how "easy" it was to move a cloud." She had a point I was a lil cocky at first "Yea well I guess I should listen to the pony that's training me huh?" I say with a chuckle "And your boss" She adds "Yea yea, whatever you say boss." I say sarcastically. After a long day of wrestling with the clouds I started getting the hang of moving them. "That should do it" Dash says sitting down on a cloud "Should be enough for the rain that's due tomorrow." I fly over to another cloud and sit down. "I think I might enjoy this job once I learn what I need to know." I say smiling "Well its about quitting time" Dash says "I'll see you here early tomorrow, you get to learn how to make it rain" 'Yay' I think to myself I mean c'mon how hard could it be to make it rain....little did i know.

My work day was going along fine till the CMC decided too show up and tried too get their cutie marks, "Oh hey girls what are y'all doing today?" I ask the girls. "Same thing we do everyday, trying too get our cutiemarks, we're still not having any luck." Scootaloo says sadly. "Well girls I think that y'all just need to keep trying and eventually you will get them." I say "That's what everyone keeps sayin tah us." Applebloom says "but everytime we try something we always get intah trouble or we don't git our cutiemarks." 'Damn that face.' "Well girls I think you all should go play now so Applejack doesn't think I'm slacking off, she's scary when she's angry." I say thinking back to the time I was talking to Twilight about Kevin when he was still in that coma.
============
"WOOT, Tomorrow is Saturday, that means no work." I say sprinting back to Fluttershy's. Until I Was tackled by some blue and white blur. "Ahh what the fuck was that?" I ask in confusion. "Hi FATMAN." 'OH GOD, he found a new way too fuck with me.' "Hey watch where you're going dude that hurt like a bitch." I say as I stand back up. "Well, yeah that was the point." He chuckles. "So Fatman where you headed?" "Oh I was headed back to Fluttershy's." I say. "OH cool I'm going too, I haven't seen Fluttershy in a while."
============
We get over to Fluttershy's house and guess who else was besides Angel bunny, Pinkie Pie. "Hey guys how are you did you know I'm having a party.... OOOHHH I never gave you guys a welcome too Ponyville party I need too set that up bye." .... "What just happened?" I say looking over to Kevin and Fluttershy. Fluttershy is sitting there giggling cause Suicide has the most puzzled face ever. "UH.... Kevin are you ok?" I ask. "Was that Pinkie Pie?" .....lol "Yes That was Pinkie Pie, You get used to it." "Anyway so Fluttershy how have you been, and sorry I haven't been visiting as much." Suicide says looking down a little. "Oh it's ok I've had Matthew here to keep me company." she says "And besides you and Twilight have been.....busy."

'Oh sweet lord she knows too' I think to myself blushing. "Eh heard about....that...did you..." I say almost unable to look her in the eye. "Of course I did" She replies "Twilight is one of my best friends we don't keep things secret amongst us." I start getting nervous thinking about everypony knowing about us. "Meh guess its better sooner then later" I say "And I won't have to try and be sneaky about it." It was then i noticed Angel bouncing towards us. 'Oh sweet merciful jesus' I think to myself in horror 'Not this again...' I flinch in fear as he bounces over and up onto Fatman's lap. "Good to see you two are getting along" I say nervously as Angel gives me one of his death glares "Yea we've become pretty good pals since you've been gone" Fatman says petting him. "Hes a pretty cool lil bunny once you get to know him." 'Cool yea ok' I think to myself thinking back to last time we had a run in with each other. "Well I just wanted to stop by and say hello and see how you were doing Fluttershy" I say "Gonna get back to the library." I give her a hug and brohoof Fatman before leaving.
I was on my way back to the library when I spot Scootaloo on her scooter whizzing towards me. "Hey Scoots" I say waving "Oh hey Kevin" she says coming to stop. "Hows the cutie mark coming along?" I ask "We are still working on them" she says looking a little down "Well keep up the hard work" I say reassuring her "You'll find it soon I bet" She smiles and gives me a big hug "Alright well you'd better be getting home" I say "It's getting late" "Alrighty" she says "Catch you later" I can't help but smile as she buzzes off on her scooter. I remember my little sister back home and get a little homesick for a minute. 'I'll have to get in touch with them again soon' I think to myself as I make my way "home"? if I can call it that just yet.

"Did Kevin seem a little bit more out of it than usual?" Fluttershy asks looking worried. "He didn't look any dumber than .....I mean he looked normal to me." I say not wanting to get in trouble. "Well he just seems a little depressed is all." she says giving me the raised eyebrow look. "He's probably just homesick, you remember how I was a week or two after he went into that coma right?" I say "He'll get over it eventually and besides we can still keep in contact with our families with the devices Twilight enchanted for us." 'damn she still looks worried.' I think. "And besides he's got Twilight to keep him from being depressed." I say with a snicker. "Heheh alright." Fluttershy says. 'OH DEAR GOD. I have been around this poor pony too long.' I think worrying about what else I've contaminated her brain with.
====================
So after a bath and some brain bleach, both Fluttershy and I make dinner *YAY HELPING*, we do everyday talk about how our day was and then go to bed. Except ....I can't sleep so I lay there on the couch thinking about my family, wondering about how they are, and what they're doing, cause I still don't know how time differs in each world *YES two months and I haven't figured it out*. I keep thinking about them for about an hour or so before I eventually drift off to sleep or so it felt like I was asleep.
