Settling In

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

   Twilight was generous enough to lend me her spare bed upstairs, but I soon learned that pony beds were definitely not made for human features. I decided to make my way downstairs and find a sleeping place down there. Thankfully, I found a quite comfortable couch in which I rested my body.

At this time I tried to wrap my head around what just happened in the past twelve hours. Am I dreaming? How can this possibly be real? This is a fucking cartoon show! It just can't be real. I thought back to the moment where I had the chance to tell Celestia the truth about where I came from and about My Little Pony the show and how all the characters from that show exist here, in the same land of Equestria! All I had to do was tell the truth and maybe I would have a better understanding of what was going on, rather than risking a case of insanity.

As I mulled through my mind I heard a creak from the front door of Twilight's library, I looked over to see a very familiar purple and green dragon, Spike! Right when we made eye contact I realized that he didn't know who or what I was, and as he let out a gasp I prepared for the worse.

"Whoa! You must be that creature Twilight told me about!" exclaimed the dragon as I stood to greet him. "Oh sorry I'm Spike, and wow, you really are tall!"

"Pleasure to meet you!" I said shaking his claw, "I'm Michael, and I am only average height in relation to my species.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Spike pronounced.

"Yeah it's pretty great." I said sadly, as I hit a wall of homesickness.

"What's wrong?" questioned Spike.

"Ah nothing." I lied, "Just tired, that's all."

"Okay well I'll let you get some rest." said Spike, "I hope you like it here in Ponyville!"

"I have to say everyone, er everypony has been very friendly." I responded. Spike gave me a smile and he headed upstairs.

Finding that I couldn't sleep, I went outside for a nightly stroll. My head was tilt upward the entire time. The night sky was absolutely flawless.

"Wow, it's beautiful." I whispered to myself.

"You really think so?" questioned a voice behind me. I whirled around to come face to face with none other than the graceful princess of the night, Luna.

"Where you following me?" I accused.

"Well I wasn't planning on it, but I saw you wandering about Ponyville so I decided to see what you were up to." answered the princess.

"Well I was just taking and walk and was enjoying the scenery." I said.

"So you really think the night sky is beautiful?" she asked.

"Um yeah." I responded uneasily. "It's quite a spectacle." Luna blushed after I said this.

"It's just that nopony is even out to see my night," she explained. "But I'm glad you are."

"Well I um, just happy to help." I managed to say.

"Goodnight sir human, it was good seeing you again." with that she spread he wings and disappeared into the great night sky.

"Well that was, odd" I said to myself. There was a certain look in her eye, a look that I just couldn't put my finger on. But I couldn't worry about this at the moment, now I needed some sleep.
