CHAPTER 1

It was a beutiful sunny cloudless day in Equestria. A cyan pegesus mare with a rainbow mane and a cloud with a lighting bolt rainbow for a cutie mark, was busy practicing some moves to show off to her heroes The Wonderbolts. Rainbow Dash was cheering herself on as she zoomed in the air trying to see if she could pull off her sonic rainboom again. Cheering her on was a very excitable light pink earth pony mare with a dark pink puffy mane that smelled faintly of cotten candy. Her cutie mark was three ballons.
"YOU CAN DO IT DASHIE!" Pinkie Pie cheered at the top of her lungs.
"Hah easy as pie." Rainbow Dash said as she continued to practice.

Mean while at the PonyVille Public Library a purple unicorn mare with an equelly purple mane with a hot pink stripe and a sparkle for a cutie mark chuckled as she heard her two friends outside. Oh how Twighlight Sparkle wanted to go out and play, but not right now for she had found a very interesting yet very dusty book somewhere in her library and she just had to read it for curiosity's sake. She was just about to turn the page as she looked at a basket that contained a loudly snorring wingless purple dragon with a green belly and green ears, curled around a small firey red and yellow pheonix chick who'se name was peewee.
"Oh Spike." Twighlight Sparkle said while holding back some chuckles, she soon got to reading the rest of her book.

"Oh why can't I find some insperation!" A white unicorn mare with a violet mane and three diamonds as her cutie mark cried while she was looking at one of her fashion dummies. " I have to make some sort of dress in time for the next galla but nooooo.... the dress is either to short or to tall or to puffy or to thin. Why have the fashion gods forsaken meeeee!"

"Oh come on Rarity it is just a stupid dress! Why don't you come out and play with me." An estatic greyish white unicorn filly with a light blue and light pink mane asked the over reacting unicorn.

"Hmmm... maybe you're right Sweety Bell. The galla is about eight months away so I can afford to goof off now and again. Now..." Rarity said as she was looking through her wardrobe. " What to wear on such a fabulous day."
Sweety Bell gave an annoyed grunt as she left her big sister to go look for her friends. Sweety Bell left Rarity's Boutique and started to walk through PonyVille. The pony folk were minding thier own business and going about their own busy scheduales for the day ahead. Sweety Bell was minding her own business when she ran into an orange pegasus filly with a bright purple mane, on top of her head was a purple biking helmet and she was riding a scooter that was atatched to a little red wagon.

"Oh Sorry about that Scoot-A-Loo." Sweety Bell apoligized to her friend.

"Hey it's ok I was just on my to find Apple Bloom." Scoot-A-Loo told her friend

"Wow me to." Sweety Bell said as she hopped into the red wagon. The duo continued on thier way to there destination.

At Sweet Apple Acres an orange earth pony mare with a yellow mane tied into a pigtail and sporting a cowboy hat and three apples as her cutie mark was busy going about her family farm. It was a very fine day for apple bucking and apple bucking is what she was going to do. Apple Jack raised her hind hoofs in preperation and struck at a tree with all her might. Apples started to fall into the carefully placed buckets. Apple Jack wiped her forehead and looked around till she saw a large red earth pony stallion bucking apples as well.

"Is everything ok so far Big Macintosh?" Apple Jack called to her brother in her southern accent. The red stallion looked at his sister and said "Eeyup." And he continued on with his work. Mean while in the barn a young yellow earth pony filly with a red mane and a red bow, was just finishing up her chores. She walked out of the barn and looked around. She saw her grandmother Granny Smith sleeping on her usual rocking chair on the front porch of her families home. The aging green pony mare had her greying mane tied into her usual bun. She was mumbling incoherently as she slept, her cane resting beside her. Apple Bloom Decided not to wake her so she went to find her sister instead.

"Ah got everythang done like ya asked Apple Jack, can ah go play now?" She asked her sister.
Apple Jack nodded. "Just be careful okay Apple Bloom just..." She was telling her little sister when she heard another filly call.

"Hey Apple Bloom you ready?" Scoot-A-Loo called to her friend.

"Sure am" Apple Bloom responded, the young yellow filly hopped into the back of the wagon with Sweety Bell, then all three yelled. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BEAR WRESTLING." Apple Jack gasped in shock as she heard those words.

"Big Macintosh can ya handle the farm till ah git back." Apple Jack called to her brother as she ran after the filly's

"Eeyup."

Meanwhile at the edge of the EverFree forest a shy yellow pegasus mare with a light pink mane and a pink butterfly for a cutie mark, was humming a simple tune while she went about her business. Flutter Shy had to make sure that everyone was fed so she was carrying a bucket of food for her animals. Flutter Shy loved her animals so much that she even took to naming a few of them. She hummed and flew to a tiny little rabbit hutch that contained a very irratable white bunny named Angel. Angel was busy eating a carrot, when Flutter Shy flew up to him.

"Good morning angel how are...."Flutter Shy was saying in her soft voice when angel threw his unfinished carrot onto the ground. "Uh...you should really eat more." Flutter Shy said, but Angel had other plans. He just glared at Flutter Shy and went back into his hutch.

"Ok....I...I'll just save the rest for later then." Flutter Shy then grabbed a feather duster and started to dust off her furniture, she yelped and dropped her feather duster as she heard a knocking sound on her door.
Flutter Shy stopped what she was doing and went to answer the door.

"Flutter Shy darling you look absolutly lovley today." A white unicorn mare said.

"Oh...Uhm thank you Rarity." Flutter Shy started to blush.

"Your welcome my dear, but enouph chit chat, I was wondering if you could help me with a little project I was working on?"

"Oh...uhm...ok."

"Splendid now we just have to....GAHHHHHHH!"

Rarity and Flutter Shy, as well as any pony who saw the sky would panic, for up in the sky was a large red glowing circle that seemed to go on for miles. In the center of the circle was a star that was surrounded by several smaller circles. It made loud magical whooshing sounds, and it started to glow.
Crystals started to rain from the sky and almost every pony started to panic. before them some small crystals fell down and impacted creating small holes in the ground. Suddenly some large crystals fell down to the ground. They landed in Canterlot, Manehatten, and at the edge of the everfree forest and any other populated location in Equestria.

Flutter Shy and Rarity looked at the blue crystal. It didn't leave an impact crator, it just floated there. Suddenly it disintergrated into a fine blue dust, and a five foot tall creature landed on the ground with a small thud. The creature looked bipedal even though it was lying on it's back. Instead of hooves on it's forelegs and back legs it had feet and hands, it was hairless except for its head, which was red and was spiky looking. Overall it was stark naked and had fair skin. It was also unconcious.

"Wait what are you doing Flutter Shy?" Rarity asked as her friend cautisly made her way to the strange creature.

"Just making sure that it's ok." Flutter Shy responded. She sat down next the creature to get a good look at it. On it's left hand was a red scar that looked like the sun. Flutter Shy looked at it's forehead and gasped. It had an X shaped scar that took up the entire forehead, and to make matters worse it was bleeding. Flutter Shy hated the sight of blood. She continued to look just to see how much damage was done, It wasnt deep. Flutter Shy also noticed that there were tears running down the creatures ape like face.

"Now now don't cry i'm here." she said as she picked up the creatures head. It gave a grunt but otherwise it was completly oblivios to the fact that something was holding it.

"Flutter Shy is it going to be ok?" Rarity asked.

"I just need some help getting him into my home."

"Ok then let me do it then darling." Rarity's horn began to glow and she picked up the creature with her magic, she then gently placed the creature onter her back and followed Flutter Shy up to her shack.

once inside Rarity helped to tuck the creature into the spare bed in Flutter Shy's shack.

"Rarity maybe you should go get the others?"

"Ok then darling just be careful allright." And with that Rarity left the shack, leaving Flutter Shy to bandage up the creatures wound.

CHAPTER 3

"Oh wow Rarity that is so pretty." Pinkie Pie said with glee. The pink party pony was looking at the white jewel encrusted saddle bag.

"My, my Pinkie Pie! I never knew you had an eye for fashion." Rarity said with a gleem in her eye. "Yes my friends, this jewel encrusted wonder is all the rage this season. Everypony has one."
Apple Jack grunted in frustration; when it came to fashion, she had a hard time keeping up with everypony.

"Now Rarity, ah was in the middle of fixin my families farm on acount of the magical storm, when ya'all showed up on my doorstep and told me to come and meet everypony at Fluttershy's, just so ya could show this here strange creature that apeared after said storm. Then ya go off runnin on account of a fashion emergency, and come back with this. Now ah apreciate ya'all askin me to help out with this here newcomer, but family comes first." After the lecture, Apple jack quickly left to help out her family.

"Oh my, what has gotten into her." Rarity said with dignity. "Now I remember why I brought this here. Fluttershy do you mind if I use your cottage as a temporary studio, I also hope you will allow me to use your sewing machine if you don't mind?"

"Oh....uh...I don't know...." Fluttershy began.

"Wait a minute Rarity don't you have your own studio?" Twighlight Sparkle asked Rarity

"I know I have my own studio darling, It is just that I don't think it would be in our friends best interest if he ran into other pony folk. They might panick and well I don't want to think about what my happen next." Rarity answered.

"He's not my friend!" Rainbow Dash snapped.

"That actually makes a little sense Rarity, there is no telling what may happen to him if everypony in Equestria found out about him." Twighlight Sparkle answered her friend.

"Well if you put it that way....then yes you can use my cottage if you really want to....that is." Fluttershy said. The yellow pegasus wasn't use to so much happening at once, so she decided to go out for a walk to calm her nerves.

"Well I gotta jet." Rainbow Dash said. " But if you think of laying a hoof on Rarity then you will have to answere to me." Rainbow Dash glared at the creature. The cyan pegasus then left so she could practice some more.

"Well then I don't want to interupt you so I'll just go and see if I can find anything at the library pertaining to our friend here." Twighlight Sparkle said as she left the cottage.
"I'll go and prepare a party for him." Pinkie Pie quickly ran off, eager to get the party started.
Now only Rarity and the creature remained

Kuro stared at the white unicorn, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"What is going to happen to me?" He thought as he stared at the saddle bags with fear in his eyes.

"Now let's get started then." Rarity said as she pulled out some measuring tape. Kuro flinched as she pulled it out. Rarity saw that Kuro was indeed very afraid. Oh how she wished Fluttershy were here to help her calm him down. She would know what to do in a situation like this. "No Rarity you are strong you can do this." she thought to herself. She might as well just wing it.

"There, there darling..." Rarity spoke in the sweetest voice she could muster. " I'm just trying to measure you for some clothing." That seemed to do the trick, for the creature was calming down.

"Why don't I introduce myself first..." Rarity begane. " My name is Rarity what is yours?" A smile was on the white unicorns face.

"Kuro." The creature said softly.

"Err...What was that darling?" A nervous smile on Rarity's face. Now she knew how Twighlight Sparkle felt when she first met Fluttershy.

"My name is...Kuro" Kuro said a little louder.

"What an adorable name for such an adorable voice." Rarity said sweetly. " Now Kuro darling I need you to be a dear and stand up while I make some measurments."

"...Ok..." Kuro slowly stood up and held still as Rarity made her measurements. After she had finished that, Rarity took out a quill and paper and wrote down some numbers. She then pulled out some coloured cloths. Rarity looked at the different coloured cloths for a few minutes, when she finally decided upon using a green cloth for a hoodie, and a thick blue cloth for some jeans. While Rarity was busy drawing up some plans for the clothing, Kuro decided to talk to her.

"The cyan one...She's scary." He said quitly.

"The cyan one? Oh you mean Rainbow Dash. Don't you worry you're little head about her, she'll warm up to you eventually."

"But she threatened to hurt me."

"Thats just Rainbow Dash being Rainbow Dash." Rarity started her work on the hoodie.

"The purple one...Will she really be able to find out what I am?" Kuro asked quitly.

"Don't tell me that that nasty bump on you're head gave you amnesia!" Rarity was shocked. Kuro didn't like to see her like this, he felt ashamed. Rarity seeing what her actions have brought said.

"Don't you fret about that either darling. I'm very positive that Twighlight will find out the answeres soon enouph." Rarity finished up the hoodie, and stared at her handy work. She then smiled and handed it over to Kuro.

"Darling I need you to try this on to see if it really fits."

Kuro quickly put on the hoodie. It felt wonderfully warm and soft on his skin.

"My my that really does make you look handsome now does it darling." Rarity chuckled. She then started to work on the jeans.

"The orange one, does she really own a farm?" Kuro was starting to warm up to his new found friend.

"Yes Apple Jack does own a farm, in fact darling it has been in her family for generations."

"The pink one, will she really throw me a party?"

"Honey knowing Pinkie Pie, she will most definatly throw you one." Kuro smiled. Rarity smiled back, glad that he was warming up to her.

"I really like the yellow one...what was her name again?"

"Fluttershy, she will be very glad to hear that. If it wasn't for her well I wouldn't be her with an adorable boy now would I."

Kuro blushed at the compliment. "Thank you Rarity....I really like you to."
This time Rarity blushed.

"My what a gentlecolt." She said as she handed over the now finished jeans.
Kuro promptly put them on.

"Now you look like a gentlecolt. In fact you look absolutly adorable in those." Rarity started to pack her tools away, when she heard sobbing coming from Kuro.

"Now now dear you don't have to cry." Rarity begane to comfort Kuro.

"I'm sorry.... it is just that I am such a burdan on you all, you were so nice to me, you clothed me, and kept me safe while I was unconcious. I don't even know how to repay you for you kindness and generosity." he sobbed. Rarity hugged Kuro

"You don't have to repay anything darling. Anypony would have done the same if they found you like the way we did."

Kuro hugged Rarity as he cried. They stayed like this till Kuro calmed down.

"Now darling you stay here and wait for Fluttershy to get back. I have to go home so maybe we will see each other again the next day." Rarity said as she walked outside. She noticed that the sun was starting to set, she really had to get home for she had a busy day tomorrow. Helping Kuro get some clothing helped inspire her newest set of clothing and she couldn't wait to get it done.

CHAPTER 4

It was midnight at the castle of Canterlot as princess Luna was walking through the palace gardens. The dark blue alicorn mare was trying to pass the time, as her sister princess Celestia was trying her hardest to keep the magical storm situation under control.

Oh how Luna wanted so much to help out, but her sister was adament about making sure that Luna took the time to make friends. It wasn't that Luna didn't want to make any friends, it was was just that it was hard to even make any friends when everypony you met ran off in fear when they saw her. Oh how Luna regretted even becoming Nightmare Moon when she got jelouse of her sister. Luna gave a sigh as she stared at the moon. The nights in equestria were really lonly when you didn't have any friends to share them with.

Suddenly she heard a rustling in the bushes next to her. Luna aproached the bushes to see what was making the noises. Luna gave a gasp as she saw the creature. The creature looked like a bipedal hairless ape and was at least three feet tall. It had a long black mane on it's head but overall it was completly naked to the cold night air. It was in a fetal position making sobbing noises as it shivered. Luna could tell that the creature was at least no older then a young filly and that it was female by the sobbing noises it was making.

Seeing the creature suffing awakened a motherly instinct inside Luna. The dark blue alicorn walked up to the creature.
Seeing Luna walk up to it made the creature yelp in surprise and fear.

"Don't be scared little one." Luna said softly as she lay down beside the creature. The girl snuggled closer to Luna as she realized that she wasn't in any danger. Luna then asked. "What is your name child?"

"I don't know..." The girl replied. "I don't have one."

"How about I give you one then."

The girl thought for a moment and replied. "Ok" she said.

Luna thought really hard. The girl was as pale as the moon. Luna had an idea for a name, it was a very ancient name for the moon, spoken in an ancient language long forgotten.

"Your name shall be, Mani my moon beuty."

"Do you have a name?" The girl now known as Mani asked.

"Yes, My name is Luna."

It had been a few days since Luna had met Mani. She loved the girl as if she were her own daughter. Luna was struggling to balance her duties as a princess and keeping her adopted child a secret from everypony else. She had many close calls when Mani was nearly disoverd, the first when she tried to sneak Mani into her room at the castle. A gaurd was busy doing his rounds and Luna barely made to her room as he rounded the corner. The second time was when she decided to give Mani some clothes. Princess Celestia was wondering why she was taking some of the clothes from the palace storage room. Luna did some creative story telling and said that she was just going to make some drapes for her room and quickly left the scene. The dress was a simple gown desighn made with balck fabric and it had some white frills at the hem of the dress, at the ends of the arm holes and around the coller. Mani looked really adorable in it.

Luna decided that it probably was a good time to get some food for Mani, so she went down to the kitchens to get some apples.

Down in the palace kitchens the cook was busy making a pie for tonights supper when princess Luna entered the kitchen.

"Princess Luna! what brings you down here?" The cook asked. The cook was wereing a cook uniform and she was a dark brown earth pony mare, with an equelly brown mane and tail with a soup laddle for a cutie mark.

"I was just wondering if you had any spare apples?" Luna asked.

"Apples! Oh I always have enouph in fact I think we are a bit over stocked on the things." The cook replied.

"Ok then...can I have a few bags then?"

"Sure you can take as many as you want princess, oh and why would you want a sack full of apples anyway?"

"Uh...no reason!" Luna quickly grabbed the bag and ran to her room.

"That was odd." The cook said to herself as she went back to making her pie.

Luna placed the apples in front of Mani. The girl started to devour them hungrily. Suddenly there was a knocking on Luna's door. The dark blue mare gasped and quickly placed Mina and the sack of apples in her armoire. Luna then opened her room door.

"Oh...uh...hi Tia" Luna said to her sister nervously. Celestia was a pure white alicorn mare with a see through rainbow mane and a sun for her cutie mark.

"Luna Are you all right? I was just worried about you since you have been very secretive these past few days." Celestia asked with concern.

"Uhm....Yeah....I am alright thanks for asking." Luna's eyes strayed to her armoire. Mina was peeking through a crack in the door.

"Luna are you hiding something?" Celestia looked around her sisters room.

"Uh no......" Luna smiled nervously. What would happen if Celestia found out about Mina.

Suddenly a sneeze was heard from the armoire. Luna's eyes widened in fear. She had been discovered.

"What was that?" Celestia walked up to the armoire.

"Uh....it was...yeah uhm...ACHOO...yep it is pretty dusty in here." Luna said.

"Luna you are a terrible lier." Celestia said with anoyance. She continued an her way to the armoire.

"NO DON'T LOOK IN THERE!" Luna screamed at her sister.

Shocked at her sister's behaivor Celestia froze.

Luna positioned herself between the armoire and Celestia.

"I WON'T LET YOU HARM MY CHILD!" Luna's wings were raised in defence. Celestia looked at the armoir and saw Mani cowering in the armoire.

"Luna calm down, what makes you think that I would harm anypony?"

"But..." Luna started to calm down a little.

"No but's Luna, your being a little irational right now. Now tell me why you were so secretive about this."

Luna sat down and took a deep breath and told Celestia everything that had happened up to this moment.

"I just though that..." Luna was about to finish when Celestia raised a wing to silence her sister.

"Luna you know you can trust me with anything..." Celestia began. " But your reaction was still inexscusable."

Luna braced herself.

"Luna I think that maybe you should raise the child someplace were she won't be overwhelmed by the palace life. So by royal decree I think that you should raise this girl in ponyville where she may at least fit in..." Celestia looked at Mina. "er...well as well as she can that is."

"Ok..." Luna responded.

"Now I expect you to be packed by tommorow morning." Celestia then turned and left the room.

Luna was really glad that she wasn't being punished for her extreme reaction, heck she was also glad that she could still raise Mina. The girl looked at Luna blankly.

"Well my moon beuty things could be worse." Luna said with a smile.

CHAPTER 5

Authous note: Yeah this is kinda rushed sorry about that, I just wanted to get it out soon so my brother Brandsca123 would stop asking me about it.

Kuro was walking through a long marble hallway. The marble was a very bright whitish colour and very beutiful paintings of himself and others adorned the walls. He looked at the painting of himself; it wasn't quite right yet it seemed very familiar. The mark on his hand and his hairstyle were right but the clothing was all wrong, he wasn't wearing the green hoodie and the blue jeans that Rarity had made for him. Instead he was wearing a red overcoat with a black shirt underneath it and on his head was a golden crown.

"Remember...." A sad voice told him " I am thou and thou art me."

"Who...who said that?" Kuro asked

"Remember...." The voice said sadly. The room was starting to go black

"No wait!"

"Remember..." The whole world went black.

"Gahhhhhh!!!!" Kuro screamed as he fell out of the bed. He heard the sound of hooves running up to his door and the door flew open, a yellow pegasus mare was standing at the doorway. Fluttershy walked up to him and tried to comfort him.

"Kuro you had another bad dream again?" She asked

"Yes Mamashy, It was awful this blackness came and swallowed me up." Mamashy was what Kuro started calling Fluttershy when she agreed to look after him. Fluttershy really liked that nickname he called her, it made her feel like she was a parent and she loved the feeling of responsability.

"You've been having them ever since you met Mina." Fluttershy said as she stroked her adopted child. She was right; he had been having these nightmares ever since he met Mina a few days ago he snuggled closer to his adopted mother as he remembered that day.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
Several days earlier

"Oh sweet Celestia another one." A pink earth pony squealed in delight as she squeezed the cheeks of a small human girl in a frilly black dress. " She is just sooooooooooo cute. don't you agree Twighlight?" Pinkie Pie continued to squeal in raw delight. A lavander unicorn with a purple mane that had a hot pink stripe down the center stared open mouthed at what she just saw. Twighlight Sparkle was on her way to her library home when she heard Pinkie Pie scream in utter delight, she was expecting to see a new born filly and his/her mother together; but instead she saw Princess Luna walking down ponyville with a royal guard dragging a chariot filled to the brim with belongings, and another one of those strange ape things in tow, this time it one that was no larger then a young filly no more then Applebloom's age.

Guess the cat's out of the bag. she thought as she saw what she saw. In a way the reactions the other ponies gave when they saw the ape girl thing (sort of a mix between surprise and instantanious acceptence) she felt as if a huge burden was lifted off her shoulders; now she could tell Kuro that he was allowed to mix with everyone in town, he would really love to hear that since he was starting to get a little depressesed being cooped up in Fluttershy's cottage.

"Yes she is very adorable." Twighlight gave the girl a warm smile. "Welcome to Ponyville..."

"Mina." The girl said shyly, she hid a little behind Luna's legs.

"That is such an adorable name..." Pinkie squealed then she gasped. " Wait now that I know your name...and also that Kuro can come visit in Ponyville now...I'll be right back." Pinkie ran off to Sugar Cube Corner to do...Pinkie Pie stuff.

"Err. sorry about that princess...Uhm I got some errands to do myself." Twighlight Sparkle told Luna.

"It's OK Twighlight Sparkle I can see that you are a bit busy." Luna said and with that they both went their seperate ways.

At Fluttershy's

"Oh my that is good news." Fluttershy told Twighlight upon hearing the latest happening in Ponyville. Fluttershy was really relieved to hear this news and so was Kuro.

"Does this mean that I can go out now?" Kuro asked.

"Yes you can dear." Fluttershy told him.

"OK I'll be back before sundown Mamashy." Kuro told Fluttershy as he left.

"Mamashy?" Twighlight Sparkle asked.

"Oh that is just a nickname he gave me, isn't it adorable." Fluttershy beamed

"Err...yeah..." Twighlight gave an nervous smile.

"Look out!!!" Suddenly there was a crashing noise outside. Both mares gasped as they ran out to see the comotion. They saw Rainbow Dash and Kuro on the ground in a heap.

"Heh heh, Sorry about that." Rainbow Dash told Kuro. During the few days that he had been in Equestria Rainbow Dash had warmed up to Kuro, much to his relief. The cyan pegasus mare had an envolope in her mouth. She handed it to Kuro. " Pinkie wanted you to have this." She said as she handed it to Kuro. "Oh hi guys sorry I can't stay and chat just got some training to do." Rainbow dash said as she turned towards her two friends that were watching. She then took off into the sky.

"Oh my...What is that?" Fluttershy asked as she walked up to Kuro. The young boy got up and wiped the dust off of his favourite green hoodie that was made for him.

"Dunno Mamashy?" He said as he began to open it. Streamers popped out of the envolope as he opened it and inside was a note.

You are invited to a welcome party, Be at Sugar Cube Corner by sundown.

-Pinkie Pie

"Mamashy I just got invited to a welcome party."

"That's great what time does it start Kuro?"

"Sundown."

"Well I'll just leave you two to prepare for this highly expected turn of events." Twighlight said as she left. She should have known Pinkie would do something like this. The lavender mare unicorn giggled to herself as she thought of what Pinkie Pie had planned.

Meanwhile

Princess Luna was busy moving her self into the cottage that her sister had bought for her and Mina. The cottage ; if you could call it that, was fairly big. This wasn't a surprise to Luna since it was bought and paid for by her sister Celesetia. The roof itself was a goldish colour and the outdoor walls were a light blue. The home itself came fully stocked with servents.

So much for getting away from palace living. She thought as she tried to unpack, but try as she might the servents kept insisting that she and her 'pet' relax as they did the work. 'pet' she hated it when they refered to Mina as that, didn't they realize that she was as inteligent as any pony else. Luna took a deep breath and walked away to find Mina. She found the little girl running around inside the house exploring everything.

"Hows everything so far Mina?" She asked the girl.

"This house is big." Mina said she spread her arms wide to show her point.

"Yeah it is a big house isn't it." Luna gave a small chuckle as she responded to Mina.

Suddenly one of the servants tapped Luna on her shoulder. Luna quickly turned around to look at the butler.

"Uh your majesty, if I may be so bold to interupt you, I got a letter from a...oh what was her name, oh yes a Pinkamina Diane Pie. She said it was for your pet Mina." The greyish white butler said to Luna.

"She is no pet." Luna said coldly. She took the letter and gave it to Mina. "Now away with you." Luna ordered the butler. He quickly left to make sure the unpacking was going smoothly.

"What does the letter say Mina?" Luna asked the girl.

"Dunno I can't read." She replied. Luna was shocked to hear this, but then she realized that Mina was still a young filly/girl and that she probably never learned to read yet.

"Well then just hold it up to me and I will read it for you." Mina held up the letter.

"What's it say?" The girl asked excitedly.

"It says that you are invited to a welcome party at Sugar Cube Corner this sundown." Luna read to Mina.

"A party!" Mina sounded excited.

"Yes, oh I should probably ask Rarity to make a dress for you this evening." With that being said Luna left to go get a dress for Mina.

A few hours later somwhere else but still in Ponyville

Kuro walked down the road of Ponyville. He was wearing a very beutiful tuxedo with matching shoe's that Rarity had made for him for the party. He suddenly realized he had no idea where Sugar Cube Corner was, so he decided to ask somepony where it was. Kuro looked around his surroundings and found that the whole village was deserted.

Hmm that's odd? He thought. Kuro looked around some more until he saw an aquamarine blue unicorn mare with an equally blue mane that had a white stripe, her cutie mark was a harp. He walked up to her and asked her if she knew where Sugar Cube Corner was, but he didn't get to finish for as soon as started to talk...

"Oh sweet Celestia they're real!" She said. Kuro was confused at this.

"Uh...what?" He said.

"Oh sorry bout that. Let me introduce myself my name is Lyra Heartstrings." The unicorn now known as Lyra said.

"My name is Kuro..." Kuro didn't get to finish for he was tackled by Lyra who then used her magic to tie him up.

"There. Now they'll believe me. I know I think I'll bring you to that party Pinkie Pie was having that way everypony will see that humans really do exist. Yes my little Kuro you will be my ticket away from being the town lauphing stock." Lyra gave an insane chuckle as she started to drag him to Sugar Cube Corner.

what in the hey have I got myself into. Kuro thought as he was being dragged away.

At Sugar Cube Corner

"Where is he." Pinkie Pie said as she looked out the window for the missing guest.

"Where is who?" Mina asked as she walked up to Pinkie Pie. The little girl was wearing a dark blue dress that had stars all over it, and she was also wearing some cute looking dress shoe's with white socks.

"The other guest of honer that's who." Pinkie said sadly.

Suddenly the door burst open and standing in the open doorway was a crazed Lyra.

"You all said I was crazy, but look who's lauphing now." Lyra dragged Kuro inside.

"You're here." Pinkie said happily as she jumped up and down.

"Oh uh hello Pinkie. I'm a little tied up right now." Kuro said.

"Yeah there is no way you can party all tied up like that, here let me help." Pinkie skipped over to him and began to untie him.

"Wait you know him?" Lyra asked as she started to calm down.

"Of course silly, Why do you think I threw this party for him and Mina?" Pinkie Pie pointed at a little girl standing beside the refreshments table. It took a few moments for this to sink in for Lyra, she soon started to help Pinkie Pie untie Kuro.

"I'm terribly sorry about this." Lyra said, she was starting to blush from embarresment.

"No problem Lyra, I just forgot to thank you for taking me to Sugar Cube Corner." With that being said they both went their seperate ways at the party. Lyra was busy chatting with her friend Bonbon, while Kuro went over to see Mina. He was surprised to see another human here in Equestria. All this time he thought he was the only human in Equestria. He decided to introduce himself to the little girl.

"Hello...uh...My name is Kuro." He said nervously.

"Hi my name is Mina." She responded back.

"Mina...That's a nice name." Kuro said. He continued to stare awkwardly at Mina when he realized something.

Some thing was off here. Kuro couldn't quite understand it, but for some strange reason he felt as if he should know Mina. Kuro felt a little pain in his head and it quickly became excruciating. He quickly fell to his knees as he held his head in pain. He saw flashes of a different world. This world seemed very similar to Equestria except it was inhabited by humans instead of ponies. The humans all had marks on their right hands that symbolized something, but he couldn't quite put his head on it. He saw a flash in the sky as a cloud of darkness came rushing through the scene, he felt the earth beneath his feet rumble as it came closer. Kuro felt no more.

Later

Kuro woke up inside a strange room. The walls and floors looked pristine, he noticed he was in a very comfortable bed and he heard a strange beeping noise beside him. He found out that he was hooked up to a heart moniter.

Am I in a hospital? He thought. The door in the room opened and a yellow unicorn in a nurse's outfit came in followed by a yellow pegasus mare.

"Is he going to be all right nurse Nightly?" Fluttershy asked the nurse.

"Of course he is going to be all right, all he needs is some rest as all." Nightly answered Fluttershy.

"Uh...Doc..." Kuro was about to ask the nurse what happened to him, when Fluttershy squeaked in surprise when he spoke. The yellow pegasus mare quickly recovered from her initial shock and ran over to Kuro and hugged him.

"Oh I'm glad you're OK." Fluttershy said with tears in her eyes. Fluttershy stayed like this for a few more minutes until she let go of him. "Just be sure to do as the nice doctor's say Kuro, I'll be back to see you tommorow." Fluttershy then left the room.

"*ahem* Anyway as I was saying..." Kuro didn't get to finish as Nurse Nightly interrupted him.

"Now I need you to rest OK from the X-rays we gave you, you have very considerable brain trauma. So lay down and relax." Nightly said with a warm smile.

Kuro decided to listen to her for now since his head started to hurt again. He lay down and let sleep's soothing fingers take a hold of him.

CHAPTER 2

"Quickly take them to the..."

"Are you sure this is a good..."

"Dont worry you will be..."

"they're..."

The faceless voices were saying to Kuro, but that is all he heard for then he was in a black void. No black would be something, he was in a nothingness. Floating for what seemed like an eternity. He could feel a sharp pain on his forehead, he tried to reach out to the pain but he couldn't move his arms. Kuro tried to remember his reasons for being here, but try as he might he couldn't remember a thing. In fact he couldn't remember who or what he was.

"Am I dead? Is this what death is like? I want to leave this place!"
A tear ran down his cheeks, as he started to cry.

"Now...Now don't cry...I'm here." A soft female voice gently said to him. Kuro then had the feeling of being held, it was a nice feeling.

"At least i am aware...somewhat." Kuro said to himself quitly, but all that he heard was a grunt come from his throat.

"Rarity...Could you help me get it into my cottage?"

"Uh...sure thing Fluttershy."

"Oh her name is Fluttershy....odd name." Kuro thought. "Rarity is also an odd name for someone."

Kuro felt a very comfortable warmth cover and lift his body, soon he felt the sensation of moving.

"Thanks Rarity I really apreciate this."

"Oh not at all Fluttershy darling, I know how much you hate to see somepony in pain."

"Somepony?" Kuro thought. He felt his body being tucked into something very comfortable and warm.

"Thanks Rarity, Uh could you do me one more favor and get our friends here? I feel as if they should know what has happened...If that is ok with you?" The voice known as Fluttershy asked her friend, the last sentence she said very softly.
"Ok darling. I will be right back."

Kuro heard the sound of a door opening and closing.

"Now where did i put those bandages?" Fluttershy asked herself. Kuro then fell asleep in the nothingness.

Fluttershy was busy bandaging the strange creatures wound, when she heard her door open. She gasped in surprise and looked behind her to see all her friends gathered at the door.

"What in the hay happened, i was busy practicing when this stuff happened." Rainbow Dash said irratably, the cyan pegasus scowling slightly.

"I am more worried that this might be somepony we do not know...no wait I am hoping this is somepony we do not know! Then I can throw a welcome party for him or her!" Pinkie Pie started to jump up and down with glee.

"Uh sugercube ah don think this might be tha best time for a party. Ah just had to get Apple Bloom and her Friends to safety when things turned rotten." Apple Jack said with concern.

"That creature sure does look very ugly when it is naked like that....Oh my I think I just got an idea for a new dress be right back darling." Rarity soon left the cottage to go to her boutique, a fashion emrgancy had just called and she couldn't let it be ignored.

"But...wait..Rarity!" Twighlight Sparkle warned her friend, but it was to late as the white unicorn soon left. She grunted in frustration and turned to Fluttershy and the strange creature. "What is it?" She asked.

"Oh I dont really know but it was in pain and I couldn't sit by and let it suffer."

"But it could be dangerous!" Twighlight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Jack said in unision. Pinkie Pie as usual was oblivious to the situation and was busy thinking of the best way to throw a welcome party.

"But it could be just a baby." Fluttershy responded, the yellow pegases started to pet the strange creature.
Suddenly it started to grunt and move, Everypony gasped and braced themselves.

A white light appeared before Kuro. Some how he wanted to go towards it, and started to float towards it. He started to see some features as he got closer.

"Is that me?" Kuro thought as he got closer to the light. "Yes it is me!"
He felt himself falling towards his body and then....

"WATCH OUT FLUTTERSHY!" Twighlight Sparkle yelled.
The yellow pegases gave a terrified squeak as she didn't like loud noises.

"I got this one." Rainbow Dash flew towards the waking creature and was prepared to fight for her life.

Kuro heard someone yell as he gained concisness. Suddenly he saw that he was in a small shack filled with multicolourd ponies unicorns and pegesi. He lifted his hand to his forehead and felt a bandage tied to it. A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane flew up to him.

"Don't you start to get any ideas..." she...yes a she for it's voice was definatly female.

"Wait!" a yellow pegasus with a pink mane was trying to say to her friend. The cyan pegasus oblivious as to what her friend just said continued to stare down Kuro. "I will personally see to it that..." Kuro was scared of the cyan pegasus

"WAIT" The yellow pegasus yelled. That seemed to do the trick for everyone in the room turned to her.

"Rainbow Dash I think you are scaring him." The yellow pegasus said softly.
"But...Fluttershy...I was just..." The cyan pegasus named Rainbow Dash stammered.

"It's ok we won't hurt you." Fluttershy started to comfort Kuro.
Rainbow Dash gave an annoyed grunt.

"Uh...Ok...You promise right?" Kuro said.

"IT TALKS!" Everyone said in unision.

"Alright everyone I'm back." A white unicorn came in and Flutershy gave a surprised yelp. She was wearing a saddle bag stuffed with something. Everyone turned to her.

"I knew I was good looking, but I didn't I was that good looking." She said. Kuro and everyone just continued to stare.
