Previous Chapter

As the train rolled into Ponyville, many Ponies rushed out, very little went in. but the girls and Luke walked out from the rush and out of the station. The girls then all had to leave.

“Ah gotta get back to tha farm. Got some chores to do.” Applejack tipped her hat and walked away.

“Oh, I better go and check in my animal friends. I hope there alright.” Fluttershy said softly being also walking away.

“Yeah, I gotta go find my cloud. Just to rest my eyes for a while.” Rainbow Dash said as she took off into the sky.

“I have to go and see if Sweetie’s alright. Farewell.” Rarity said as she left the group of two ponies and one human.

“I’m gonna see how the cakes are doing! Bye Twilight! Bye Luke!” Pinkie said as she vanished.

That only left an Alicorn and a human.

“So where to now?”

“Follow me.” Twilight said. The two walked through the streets, Luke obviously getting weird looks. The two soon found themselves in front of a tree that had been built in.

“Library in a tree. This is just one huge fire hazard.” Luke thought to himself as twilight opened the door.

“Spike! I’m back with a friend.” Twilight yelled.

“Oh! Is it Rarity?” Luke saw a little purple and green reptile running down the stairs, the two stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. Both waiting for the other to break the silence.

“Uh, Twilight. Who’s that?” Spike asked.

“Spike, this is Luke. He will be staying here for…some time.” Twilight said.

“…uh, hey, I’m Spike.” The dragon went up and offered a claw. Luke grabbed and shook.

“Nice to meet you Spike. I’m Luke and what are you anyway?”

“Oh, I’m a baby dragon.” Spike said.

“Baby dragon?” Luke said loudly.

“Yeah, why do you ask? Do you not have dragons where you come from?” Spike asked.

“Only in tales but that’s it.”

“No dragons? I’ve got to write this down.” Twilight levitated a quill, ink and fresh parchment and began to write down.

“Where do you come from anyway? And what are you?” Spike asked.

“Probably a long way from here, and I’m a human.” Luke responded.

“Human? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them.” Spike said.

“Alright, now you two know who is what, I’ll show Luke here where he can sleep while he stays here.” Twilight said.

“Okay then.” Luke said. As Twilight showed him a small room with a bed and drawer.

“This is where you’ll be staying, sorry if it’s not enough, it’s the only spare room I have.”

“Nah, don’t worry. It’s alright.” Luke said as he scanned the room.

“Well. If you could please follow me to the basement, I need to run some tests.” Twilight said as she grabbed several parchments and ink bottles with her magic and waited for Luke.

“Tests?” Luke asked.

“Oh nothing bad, just to test those forms you have.” Twilight said.

“Why?”

“Probably a secret assignment from Celestia or something.” Spike said.

“Spike!” Twilight exclaimed.

“What? Totally possible, you did go to Canterlot.” Spike said.

“Never mind. Anyway, I’d just like to run some tests on these forms and write these down so we can understand the powers or magic in them. Unless all humans can do this?” Twilight asked.

“No, Humans aren’t really magical. I don’t even know where or why I got this.” Luke said as he looked at his emerald button.

“Well that’s what I want to find out. So, can I?” Twilight asked.

“As long as there not dangerous, I don’t see why not.” Luke said.

“Great! Follow me. You to Spike.” Twilight said as she walked down to the basement with Luke and Spike behind her.

Only a few moments later Luke was in his hedgehog form in a chair wearing a huge metal hat connected to a huge machine by multiple wires.

“Twilight.” Luke said.

“Yes Luke?” Twilight’s head popped from behind the machine.

“You did say this wouldn’t be dangerous right?”

“Of course, don’t worry Luke. I know what I’m doing.” Twilight said as she went behind the machine again.

“Okay, I guess I can do this.”

Five minutes later

“Nope. Nope. No no no, I’m done.” Luke said emerging from the basement as his quill tips were all coloured black and smoke radiating off of them. His face also smoky black.

“Wait! We still have more tests to do!” Twilight said rushing from behind.

“After this? No, I’m not doing it. No way.” Luke said.

“But I can do it correctly this time! I found my error and fixed it!” Twilight argued.

“No, just No. I don’t want to end up dead because of a problem in testing out this new body. I need to get out for a while, find a way to wash this stuff off.” Luke said as he ran out of the library in a blink of an eye. Twilight was about to run after him but Spike yelled from downstairs.

“I think you should let him cool off Twilight. And I don’t mean because of the fact you nearly fried his quills off.”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Luke meanwhile rocketed through town until he reached a nearby river. He dipped his head in for a while before pulling it out and rubbing the water around his quills. He looked at his reflection to see his quills back to its natural colour. He then splashed some of the water onto his face and rubbed the water in until it was all clean.

“Ah. That’s a lot better.” Luke said.

Luke then heard something snoring. He looked around him until he saw the snoring coming from the cloud.

“A snoring cloud? This world gets weirder and weirder.” Luke said out loud. Soon the snoring cloud started to make some noise before Rainbow Dash popped her head out from behind the cloud.

“Oh, it’s you Rainbow. Not the cloud.” Luke said.

“Yeah, I was just taking a nap.” Rainbow said.

“How? I though clouds were just lumps of water in the air.”

“Pegasus have special magic that allows them to walk on clouds. That’s why we’re mainly in charge of the weather.”

“You control the weather?” Luke asked.

“You don’t?” Rainbow asked.

“Nope.” Luke responded.

“No control of the weather? Your worlds weird.” Rainbow said as she flapped down to look straight at Luke

.

“Yours weirder.” Luke said.

“Why are you out here anyway? I thought Twilight would be doing some tests on you or something.” Dash asked.

“I was, then after five minutes I left the library because she zapped me with electricity.” Luke said.

“Ah, that sounds like Twilight. She’s serious about that stuff.” Rainbow said.

“Well I’m not busy right now, you wanna do anything?” Luke asked. Rainbow got an idea.

“How about a race?”

“A race?” Luke asked.

“Yeah. You’re pretty fast when you’re on the ground and in this form. But I’m fastest flier in Equestria.” Rainbow said proudly, this caused Luke to smile.

“Oh really? Well I hate to break it to ya but right now I’m probably the fastest thing alive right.” Luke said rubbing his chest.

“Is that so? Then let’s see who’s really the fastest. Well race from here back to the library.” Rainbow suggested as she touched the ground again.

“Alright, you’re on. But I hope you can show you face once I kick your butt.” Luke smiled as he got down into a running position.

“Ha! I’ll make you eat those words.” Rainbow responded as she stretched her wings and got ready to soar into the sky.

“Okay. Three. Two.-“

“One!”

“One!”

Both tried to jump ahead of each other by saying one first, but both had the same idea and immediately took off as blurs throughout the town. Once they both realised this they both let out a chuckle before speeding up. A red and Rainbow blur zooming past Ponyville, scaring the daylights out of the natives.
