A NEW LIFE IN A NEW WORLD

Chapter 3

Erik's pov

It has been at least a few hours since we left Canterlot and I was feeling two things, one those being nausea from being up so high in the air and two was nervous because I was unsure of how this whole thing would play out. Luna could tell how I was feeling because she spoke to me and I was out of my indulged trance.

"You're nervous aren't you, your scared that things might not go well and everypony will be afraid of you." Luna said to me abandoning her previous way of speaking from when we first met.

" I guess that comes with being the first ever human in Equestria but don't worry about me too much I'll be fine." I said to her trying to keep a cool state of mind while hiding my nervousness.

"Are you sure about that?" Luna asked while cocking her head a little.

I nodded my head"Yeah I just need some time to get use to this is all." I said to her with a cheery tone.

Luna nodded "Well all right then, just know that you won't have to do it alone, you will soon have friends that you can always count on for support when you need them most plus if you ever need to my sister and I will be there for you as well." Luna said to me with a reassuring tone in her voice.

"Thank you Luna...though I do wonder, what do you suppose Twilight is doing right now?" I asked her.

Luna giggled at my curiousity"We I mean...I suppose Twilight Is probably running around her house trying to make it look presentable along with others things as well."

Twilight's pov

"SPIKEEEEEE COME ON WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS PLACE ORGANIZED AND PRESENTABLE" I shouted at him while running around my home/library like a crazed mare organizing my books and trying to keep this place clean and neat.

"Okay Twilight geez...Remind me again why you're acting like this..whatever it is, is it such a big deal?" Spike asked me with an annoyed tone.

"Are you kidding me, didn't you read the letter from the princess!" I told him while grabbing the letter and giving it to him then getting back to frantically cleaning the place.

Spike took the letter and started to read it from top to bottom.

My Dearest and most faithful student Twilight

Today will be a very special day for you and the rest of the citizens of Ponyville. The reason I say this is because you will be visited by a very special guest of mine as well as my sister's but I warn you, he is not from around here so please try and make him feel welcome. I know you and your friends will do your best to make him feel like he is welcomed. He might be different but I assure you he is willing to make friends with practically anyone so I know you and the elements can help him make as many friends as possible. My sincerest thanks to you Twilight Sparkle

Sincerely your teacher

Princess Celestia

"Oh so that's it we just have another Pony coming to Ponyville but.. I dont know why this has you all worked up, it's not like Celestia doesn't have faith in you to make this pony feel welcome." spike said to me with an assuring tone.

"Spike don't you get it, this not just somepony, Celestia said in the letter he was a "special guest" so he might be important so help get this place clean already."

"All right all right....geez Twilight." spike said with his annoyed tone.

The next hour was spent organizing books and dusting the shelves of the library all in preperation for the special guest of the royal sisters. As Spike and I finised with the cleaning I went to my room and started to think to myself.

"I wonder what he is like, maybe he is just some stuck up royal who just does not appreciate anypony or maybe he is a pony of great wisdom come to share it with the rest of us here in Ponyville. The suspense is really getting to me."

As I was thinking to myself I heard a knock at my door and since I did not feel like getting it myself right now I did the only thing I could do at the time.

"Spike can you get that." I shouted to him while I went back to my self thought

"just who could this mystery pony be." was all I could think before I heard Spike screaming and fainting so I went downstairs to see what he was screaming about.

Erik's pov

Luna and I finally made it to Ponyville and what a sight it was to behold. It was nothing like canterlot but it was grand. Luna could see the excitement in my eyes and could tell that I was happy to be here.

"Come along then Erik you and I are heading to Twilight's place, there you will meet the one of many who will teach you the magic of friendship." Luna said to me

"Sounds good to me now let's roll out and on to Twilight's."I said to her as we headed down the streets of Ponyville. All the time I wondered what it would be like living here amongst these ponies. We finally made it to Twilight's house and I was not surprised when I saw the very same treehouse like on the show. We went up to the door and Luna knocked on it a couple of times then some screaming came after. I heard footsteps shortly after and the the door opened and standing right before us was Twilight's number one assistant Spike though a different form of the Spike I knew. he was a little shorter than I was but not by that much and his build was an ok one. He had the same moderate pistachio green eyes and the same moderate harlequin green scales. His spikes were the same light mulberry and light spring budish gray scales on his underbelly and light lime green ears. he was wearing a dark purple hoodie and purple jeans and he had some light green shoes on and he was almost about my height.

"Welcome to the golden oaks librar-" was all he could say before he took one look at me and got wide eyed and slack jawed.

We were staring at each other for a good ten minutes before I looked back to Luna who had a blank expression on her face like nothing was going on. I decided to try and break the tension and give a good impression of myself.

"Uhh hello there my name is-." that was all I could say before he suddenly screamed so loud you could hear it from Canterlot then he fainted.

"Was it something we said?"

"Not really the time and place brain."

"Then when is the right time and place huh man?"

"I don't know man I..just..don't..know."

"Erik who are you talking to?" Luna asked me confused about what I was doing.

"Uhh nobody come on lets get him inside and comfortable." I said to her.

I picked up Spike and carried him into the house. it was pretty clean and everything was completely clean, I would have expected to come to something that looked like a shitstorm hit it. I set spike down on the living room couch when I heard hoofsteps (ponies still had hooves for feet) coming down the stairs. I heard a sharp gasp and looked to see who it was and it was none other than Twilight Sparkle. She looked so beautiful with her violet eyes and sapphire blue mane and tail with streaks of moderate violet (just like her eyes) and brilliant rose and her pale light grayish mulberry coat and her beautiful horn.She was wearing a white blouse with a violet skirt and small heels. We were looking at each other for a good ten minutes before I decided to try and break this tension.

"Umm good afternoon my name is-." was all I could say before she fainted just like spike. I grabbed her just before she hit the floor and carried her to her room and set her down on one of the beds she had  and set her down. Luna and I watched over her  for an hour while we used an ammonia sulfate to help wake her up. Twilight's eyes started to flutter open and they were soon staring at me in disbelief.

"Well glad to see your awake, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Erik and it is a pleasure to meet you. I was sent by Celestia to become the special guest of Ponyville and to learn the magic of friendship from her most faithful and intelligent student which so happens to be you." I explained to her.

She was still staring at me but not just in disbelief but in awe of me after all she had never seen anything like me before. She reached one of her hands out and touched my face and shivered with excitement. When she finished feeling my entire face she had a huge smile on her face and a gleam in her. She looked at Luna with that same face then back at me then she started hopping around me really joyfully.

"This is amazing I did not think when Princess Celestia said that Ponyville would be having a special guest it would be an entirely different species. This is going to be so exciting, to think you must  have so much knowledge and wisdom about your species." She said to me while moving real close to my face with wide eyes and a smile. I blushed a little at the compliment and Luna just giggled at Twilight's enthusiasm for learning new things. Twilight soon realized I was a tad uncomfortable with her so close to my face like this, she blushed a little knowing this and then took a few steps back so not to frighten me off (or so she thought).

"Well It's very nice to meet you Erik, my name is Twilight Sparkle and it is very nice to be the first to welcome you to Ponyville." Twilight told me with admiration.

Luna was staring at the both of us when she finally decided to speak since she first came in.

"Well young Erik it looks as if you made your first friend here, it also looks like I should get going so take care of yourself alright."Luna said to me as she headed out and back to Canterlot.

Twilight just then jumped at the realization that I had made my first friend and she had made a friend from a different species and tackled me in a hug once Luna left.

"This is so exciting, my first friend from a different species, oh I can't wait to find out more about you." She said with a twinkle in her eyes.

I giggled a little bit knowing she was so excited to learn about humans and what they were like and what they are like now. In a way she was cute when she was like this.

"Well Twilight I would love to tell you but unfortunatly it's kinda late and after that long carriage ride and walk here I'm kinda beat and since I don't to be that much of a bother I think I will sleep on the floor  in your living room." I said trying to sound like I did not want to impose.

"What..No.no.no..you're my guest and there is plenty of room here so you're not sleeping on any floor so long as I have anything to say about it. Come on there is a spare bed in my room you can sleep there."She said sounding shocked that I sounded like I was going to be a bother.

"Are you sure Twilight, I don't want to impose or nothing and isn't that Spike's bed?" I asked her.

"Yes Erik I'm sure your my guest and deserve the best treatment and as for spike considering he might be still knocked out from both meeting you and me working him to the bone I'm sure he won't mind for now,"

I took her up on her offer and we both headed upstairs to her room, there were two beds like she said and apparently there were a lot of books too. I guess that's what you expect from a beautiful and smart mare like Twilight. I went to my bed that she gave me for the night and we both were both about to drift off to sleep when Twilight realized something.

"Oh my Celestia I just realized something." She said

"What?" I asked

" My friends and I owe Lyra five bits now." She said

With that note we both drifted off into a deep slumber under Luna's beautiful night sky and her vibrant moon. During my sleep I began to think about all the things I left behind on earth and all the things and knowledge I would gain during my stay her in Equestria. Whatever this knew world held for me I know one thing for sure, I am ready to face whatever it has to throw at me. I was going to make the best of this for sure.
