A Train to where?

*poke*      ...      *POKE*

Nolan opened his eyes slowly to see what had disturbed his blissful sleep. Standing in front of the couch was a baby green dragon. 'Oh, A dragon... Cute dragon' It took a few moments in his sleep ridden mind before he realized what he had seen. In a split second Nolan's eyes were open and taking all the information fully. 'THERE IS A DRAGON IN FRONT OF MY FACE!' Nolan jumped up on the back of the couch and screamed. The little green dragon did exactly the same thing, It jumped back on the chair and pointed at Nolan screaming. This little screaming duel across the coffee table ensued until Nolan leaned to far back and the couch tipped backwards and he fell to the ground. Silently, he got up and glared at the dragon.

A moment of scarce silence passed, The green dragon gulped then said, "What are you?" Nolan reacted by screaming, "IT TALKS!!!" and proceeded to scream. The dragon Yelled something along those lines and joined back in the screaming.

The door burst open and Twilight came running into the room with a panicked look and a messy mane. She looked and all she saw was her assistant on the arm chair looking at her, pointing at Nolan, and screaming his lungs out. Across the way Nolan was doing the identical thing but from the back of an overturned couch.

"GUYS, GUYS! It's alright." The screaming subsided, but the panicked look on the two of their faces remained. "Okay, Let me do the introductions since you two will just seem to scream. Nolan, This is Spike my assistant and baby dragon. Spike this is Nolan, a Human from..."

"Earth." Nolan finished looking at spike.

"Right, Earth." Twilight looked at them both, hoping no more screaming would ensue.

Nolan righted the couch and walked over to Spike. Where he was standing he was about same height of where he stood. Nolan outstretched his hand nervously waiting for what followed. Spike took the hand and shook it lightly. "Um... Nice to meet you spike." Nolan said his voice cracking slightly from the yelling.

"And nice to meet you too." Spike said, his voice seemed perfectly fine.

"Now, isn't that better than standing there screaming?" Twilight said smiling at the two who were still quite nervous.

Nolan and spike nodded and smiled, "I suppose, are there normally dragons in Equeastia?"

"Yes, but we ponies actually know very little about them. They are too shy to get close enough to study." Twilight rubed her chin and walked backed into her bedroom.

"Huh, So, um.." Spike rubbed the back of his head looking to find the right words.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, I thought it was all just a dream... But when I wake up to see a dragon looking me in the face, it tends to bring a mighty big reality check."

"Well if it makes any difference, i didn't think you were real. I just thought I was dreaming or you were one of Twilights spells gone wrong again." Spike taped his chin reflecting on his decision of poking the strange life form in his living room... He was suddenly picked up into the air and pushed close to Nolan's face.

"DO YOU MEAN MY ENTIRE LIFE COULD ALL JUST BE A RANDOM PIECE OF A MAGIC SPELL GONE TO SHIT!?!?!" Nolan's eyes were wider than the moon, with his pupils fully dilated.

"NO NO! Not at all, I just meant that Twilight's spells have gone wrong before." Spike went completely limp from fear. He was set down back in the chair. Nolan sat down on the coffee table and rested his chin on his hand.

"Darn, that would have been really awesome." Nolan smiled to himself. He swiveled around to the other side of the table to dig through his backpack.

"Wait... What?" Spike sat in the chair and gazed at the strange creature on the other side of his coffee table.

Nolan found what he was looking for and swiveled back around. He was balancing his laptop on his lap and turned it on with a hum. "Sorry spike, I just thought it would be cool to be the product of magic. Well in all technicality I was... But I have a better way to explain what I am."

"Better way? What is that thing?" Spike sat down and looked at the Strange item on Nolan's Lap.

"It's called a laptop, it's like an electronic book." Nolan typed a short bit into it.

"Huh, so wha-" Spike was cut off by the sound of an artificial voice coming from the laptop.

"Hello Nolan Morikawa, It's good to see you."

"What the?" Spike couldn't break his gaze at his laptop.

"What time is it?" Nolan asked clicking through things on his laptop.

"Wha-, What time... Six twenty A.M." Spike said breaking his gaze and glancing over at the wall.

Nolan didn't stop looking at his laptop he kept clicking through files, but among his search he said to the laptop, "Joshua, Change the time to Six Twenty A.M. please."

"Yes Nolan. Time changed." The laptop replied.

Spike at this point was speechless. He couldn't even utter a word. Nolan was clicking his way through a world of files. Twilight had come out of her room, her mane neatly combed, and too watching Nolan click away at his magical device. Nolan obviously found what he was looking for he got up and sat the laptop down facing the other two. This will explain everything.

Nolan clicked play and lounged back on the couch. Music began to Play and the first slide of the show began. History of Humans- Class project by Nolan Theodore Croco- Rowans CP Biology 2. A voice emanates from the laptop, it was Nolan's voice, "If you were to put the age of the earth into a one hour period. Humans have only been around on the last hundredth millisecond of that hour."

Time Passes

The music stopped, and the last slide exited the screen. He pressed a button and said "Joshua, Shut down please." Joshua responded "Goodbye Nolan."

"Any questions?" Nolan asked, closing the laptop.

Spike had such a look, Twilight was rubbing her chin still staring at the now silent laptop. "So, humans are... intelligent monkeys full of water?" Twilight, with some trouble, finally said.

"Uh..." It took a moment for Nolan to fully comprehend the statement. "I suppose you could call us that."

"and your world has been around for billions of years?" Spike questioned.

"That's right. Our world is old, but our civilization is not."

"That makes some sense..." Spike turned to get help from Twilight. Twilight simply shrugged and said "It makes perfect sense, except for how you got here?"

"Yeah, I Have no idea."

"Well a visit to the princess should help that." Twilight smiled with the statement. "I'm going to eat breakfast with the girls, then you are going to get a proper tour of Ponyville..." Twilight had a pregnant pause. "Spike pull out the history of Equestria from 100 pre-princess, to present."

"Yes" Spike replied with a salute and ran of to one of the boo shelves and ran his claw along the books.

"Nolan, i shall return in two hours." With that Twilight left out the front door.

"Bye Twilight." A book thumped on the table in front of him, it wasn't a huge book, more the size of a text book. "Uh... isn't it a bit big?" Nolan said nervously opening the book. inside was a strange language in no way he could comprehend.

Spike saw the worried look on his face, "Give it a moment, the book will translate to your language."

"It will what?" Nolan looked back down to the pages, the symbols suddenly translated into words he could comprehend. "Whoa..."

"Awesome right? It's how we can share information with the griffons."

"THE WHO?" Nolan blurted out.

"Never mind that, just read, and i'll try to answer what question i can.

Time Passes

Nolan put the book down and looked at spike who had his face buried in a book blushing. "Spike?"

Spike launched the book behind and looked at Nolan nervously, "Yea"

"So let me get this straight, Equestria was formed when three ponies launched a heart of magic into the air, and heated the planet with it?"

"That's correct."

"Okay, where did the Alicorns come from afterwords?" Nolan said quizzically looking at spike.

"Uh..." Spike walked and peered into the pages of the book. "Huh, i have no idea. You will have to ask Twilight."

"Okay... Thank you."

"No problem." Spike walked to retrieve the book. Nolan caught a glimpse of the title, Almost perfect

A LOT of Time Passes

Nolan closed the book softly and walked over to the window. He was silent for some time, spike was about to say something when Nolan very abruptly and suddenly said, "Two sister princesses? Eternal night? Elements of Harmony?... WHAT the HELL have I gotten myself into?" Nolan thumped his head into the glass.
