The groceries dropped to the library's floor as Twilight's focus was lost. The magic around her horn slowly vanished as her eyes grew and her jaw dropped. Never had such a look of confusion crossed her face. As she walked in, in front of her laid a bright blue, alien figure and Spike. She had never witnessed such a weird abomination in all her journeys. It had four limbs and only stood on the bottom two. It's head was a lump that connected to it's mid section with no visible neck. Next to the blue monster was her assistant who had the same look of confusion. The creature seemed to be communicating with Spike unaware of his contribution to the conversation.
"So there I was eating my hot dog and I see this guy. He was just sitting there with this co co cola." The blue creature rambled on as Spike just stood there confused.
"Who are you?" Spike just eyed the blue figure as it continued with his one way conversation.
"So I said hey. Can I have this co co cola? Then he said no you don't want this, I put my mouth on it."
"Why are you talking to me? Twilight who is this?" Spike looked for Twilight's response but she looked even more perplexed than he did.
Twilight moved her hoof to close her jaw. She trotted over to the rambling blob who paid her no attention. She slowly studied the blue figure carefully. It appeared to be made of clay but how was it animated? Is it clay? Maybe it is some alien equivalence to flesh. She felt her hoof over the clay figure's skin confirming her suspicion of the figure's matter.
"Huh.." The clay man stopped as Twilight felt him. Twilight stared back at his lump of a head.
"I am Princess Twilight Sparkle and element of magic. Who are you? I have never seen something quite like yourself? I can only guess that you are some sort of alien from far away. Am I correct?" Twilight asked not really knowing how the strange clay man would react to her presence. It seemed to be just fine with Spike though.
"Huh?" It repeated.
"I was wondering where you where from?"
"Hey you better not be doing any of that funny business! I don't like that funny business." He reached out one of his limbs pointing in Twilight's face accusingly.
"What? No, I was just wondering who you are. I am not trying to offend you in any way or up to any false implications." Twilight tried to be politically correct as possible to not offend it.
"Good. I don't want to have to punch you in the noggin." He beat his two upper limbs together.
Twilight took a couple steps back. She had no clue what was going on here. Communication with the being was starting to make her even more confused then when she first discovered it. Spike walked over to her side quietly and got her attention.
"I'll be right back Twilight. I am going to find the guard." Spike ran out the door leaving Twilight alone with the illogical clay figure.
Twilight looked back at the clay man who was still in the same pose and smiled at him.
"Would....you like something to eat?" Maybe she could distract it until Spike returned.
"Eat huh? I don't know. What do you have?"
"I could make you a salad."
"Oh my GOT!" The clay man put his upper limbs on his head.
"Is that a yes?"
"Huh?"
"..." Twilight face hoofed.
"Ya that's fine."The clay man responded.
Twilight hurried to get what she needed to keep the clay figure happy. Not much longer she came out with a bowl of salad in her magical grasp. The clay figure snatched it out of her field of magic once it was in range.
"This better be good." He looked down and stared at the salad. "Do you have a fork?"
"Oh, my apologies. Let me go get one from the kitchen." She started to turn around before she was stopped.
"Don't worry I found one." In one of his out stretched limbs held the Element of Magic.
"No! Where did you get that?" She frantically started to run toward the clay man.
"I found it." He proceeded to scoop the salad with the crown.
Twilight yanked it from his grasp and rubbed a rag over it. She looked back at the clay figure who was still looking at his salad.
"Can I have something to drink?"
"Uh sure. Do not touch anything." Twilight hurried to the kitchen again so she could keep the confusing alien busy. What is taking Spike so long? She reached into the cupboard retrieving a white mug. She quickly put it under the sink nozzle and filled it with water. She ran back to the main room and relaxed after seeing that the figure had made no visible movement.
"Here." She handed over the mug to his free limb. "Now I will be right back you just stay here alright?" Twilight made her way to the door until she heard a glass shatter.
What did he break now?! Her worried gaze landed onto the broken mug and it's spilled contents. The clay man fell to his knees and began to sob.
"My.....my wa wa." He said in between gasp.
"Your wa wa?" Twilight gave him a quizzical look.
"My wa wa woo woo!" He reached over to the broken mug.
Twilight started to slowly walk back to the door for her escape the madness. Maybe it was best just to lock the thing inside for now. As she turned back around the door slammed open. Another clay figure stood in the doorway. He slowly drew out a pistol from his side.
"I'm a murderer!" A series of bangs where followed as he fired his gun.
The clay man by the mug fell over with three holes in his chest. The clay man murderer left as soon as he had entered. Two pony town guards ran by the door after shouting for him to stop. Spike peeked around the door into the library shortly after. Twilight just stood there looking at him with a gawked expression. She never really knew what she expected after that. She really didn't....

Credit again goes to Robert Benfer. A little short story I wanted to right. If you have not seen Klay world, I highly recommend you go watch it on you tube right now. Also, I am hiding under my desk so I won't be responding to anything. Sorry for any horrible grammar mistakes, just close your eyes then count to ten or something.
