Who the hell is in my room and how did they get in my house? The I thought. Being cautious I kept my eyes closed. “Regardless, we need to report this to the princess. Spike, write up a letter and send it to her. I will subdue him if he wakes.” A female voice said in a whisper. It was at this point that I noticed that I seemed to be on a floor his blanket was still over me for the most part and my dog was completely hidden underneath it. Princess…? Spike…? Why do those seem familiar and why am I on the floor? I thought now that my mind was fully awake. “No problem Twilight.” The one who was called Spike stated in his hushed voice as he began to creep away. Wait… What did he… “TWILIGHT?!” I exclaimed loudly as I shot up off of the floor and caused my dog to panic and bark excessively from under the blanket. My dog tried to run off and ended up taking the blanket with him. I saw a lavender colored streak and then something hit me and I was out once again. … Once again I began to wake. “What in the name of Celestia is it?” I heard a slightly accented female voice state in confusion. I noticed that I was no longer touching the ground but could not feel what was holding me up. Did she just say Celestia? I thought as I started to come to. “Well, it sher ain’t no pony.” A country girl voiced. Wait…. Pony… My thoughts continued. “I haven’t seen something like this before. Though, he seems somewhat similar to something.” A very quiet voice muttered. “Fluttershy, how do you know that it is a he?” A slightly boyish female voice asked. That confirms it… I thought. “Because she knows animals very, very well and can usually tell these things Rainbow Dash. I thought you would know that by now.” I stated without opening my eyes. My excitement began building as a smile crept its way across my face. A stunned silence filled the room as I tried to move and found myself entirely immobile. “Twilight, would you mind releasing me? I kind of have to use the restroom.” I said as I opened his eyes. Well… we were wrong about at least one thing… they aren’t full ponies… I thought as I took in the girls around me. Twilight had lavender fur, purple eyes, and a purple and pink striped, indigo mane and tail, I guessed she was around 5’3”, and was wearing a shortish, purple skirt and a light blue button up top, her wings folded up behind her. A look at her horn showed a soft purple glow. Her mouth was wide open in confusion and shock. Pinkie Pie’s fur was a light pink and was wearing a short pink sleeveless dress with balloons on the skirt of it a balloon beret in her poofy, pink mane. Her blue eyes looking at me with a strange knowing and she had a ridiculously wide smile. Rarity’s fur was white and her curled mane and tail were a very dark purple. She wore a simple white shirt and a blue skirt she had a pair of red rimmed glasses on which told me that she had been working. She too had an aghast look. Rainbow Dash’s fur was light blue and her mane and tail seemed to exemplify her name. Her eyes were a very dark pink that was almost purple and her wings were folded up against her back. She was wearing tight fitting black shorts and a white tee shirt a pair of goggles hung around her neck. Applejack had orange fur and a blond mane and tale that were both pulled up into pony tails, I giggled internally about that. Her eyes were an emerald green that made me stop and stare for a bit. She wore a brown Stetson, a long sleeved, green, button up shirt and a pair of jeans with a belt with an apple as the buckle. Fluttershy had soft yellow fur and a pink, wavy mane and tail. Her eyes were a gorgeous aquamarine. Her wings were also pulled in against her back. She wore a white turtle neck shirt and a black pair of pants. “Yes, I know who you all are. Yes, I can talk. No, I can’t tell you why I know. I need to talk to Celestia and see if she thinks it would be wise to tell anyone why I know. Now please I really have to go to the bathroom.” I continued as I felt my bladder clench. I felt myself move slowly in the air towards a door as Twilight and her friends began to come out of their shock. Then I heard a pair of snickers coming from Applejack and Rainbow Dash at first I was confused as to why they would laugh until I felt it… “Well… that is why I said I had to go… I could explain why… but… I am not going to.” I said as I was continued slowly forward. “Well, at least you know for sure that I am definitely male. Now please hurry, I really have to go.” I was pushed into the room and the door shut behind me a purple glow illuminating it as I felt myself gaining control. Well then, I never thought something like this would happen to me… I thought as I finished up and went to the door. I took a deep breath and noticed that the air was really sweet for some reason. I heard whispering on the other side of the door. “I’m done.” I said loudly. The door opened and I found myself surrounded by a bubble of lavender magic sectioning me off from the girls. Shrugging I sat down against a wall and closed my eyes taking a deep breath again. “So, when do you think Celestia will be here to check up on me?” I asked without opening his eyes. “Right now.” A new voice stated. The smile I had been wearing deepened. “I said Celestia, not Luna. Good test though.” I opened his eyes and stood up, stretching a bit. I saw that both Celestia and Luna were standing in front of the shield. “Though, both of you should probably step into the shield and put up some kind of silencing spell, one that doesn’t allow for any sound to leave so that no information is given prematurely before you both decide if they should know.” I cracked my neck and beckoned them in. More silence followed. “I have a question before hand. How do you know that you are blocked in by magic?” Twilight asked confusion apparent on her face. “Can you not see the… well, I guess not. I can see your magic in front of me in the form of a barrier. I know that it is yours because of its color. Yours is somewhere between lavender and pink. Rarity’s is light blue. Celestia’s is a very bright yellow and Luna’s is a midnight blue. Does that answer your question well enough?” My face changed to an earnest one showing that I was in no way mocking her. “… Yes… I guess…” Twilight shook her head a bit more confused than before. Celestia and Luna teleported into the portal and looked at me, if they were surprised at all, they showed none to me. Luna’s horn lit up a bit and a layer of her midnight blue intermingled with Twilight’s light lavender. “We know that you stated that you were called a human but, what exactly is that?” Celestia was looking at me trying to understand. “Humans are a type of bipedal, societal creature surviving solely because of a large brain. That brain makes humans one of the most dangerous predators known. We are omnivorous and can survive solely on vegetable and fruit matter but, most prefer not to. Any further questions on that subject?” I asked; my face still looked quite sincere. “You state that your kind ‘survives solely because of a large brain’, yet you also state, ‘you are one of the most dangerous predators known’. How can this be if you have no natural weapons?” This time is was Luna who asked. “It is correct to assume that humans have no natural weapons, however that means nothing if we use our intellect to create tools. These tools and prehistoric human’s natural aggression slowly dwindled humanities natural predators down to nothing. Also, just so it is known humanities natural aggression is still present we just temper it with understanding.” I had sat back down at this point as I was still a bit bogged down by being hit with whatever Twilight had hit me with. My guess was magic but I wasn’t quite sure. I looked up at the two princesses before me. Celestia’s fur was pristine white and she wore a gown of the same brilliant white that came down to the floor. Honestly the only break from white on her was the adornment of gold that dotted her gown, the purple of her eyes and her multi-hued mane and tail that were flapping in a non-existent wind. Luna’s fur was indigo, her eyes were a grey-blue and she wore a black dress with silver adornments. Her starry night sky mane and tail were flowing in a non-existent wind blowing in the opposite direction of her sister. If I had to guess Celestia was about 6’2” and Luna was about 5’10”, as it was they dwarfed my 5’6”. “Your kind killed off entire races?” Luna stated in horrified confusion. “Unfortunately I cannot deny that. However that is not what I meant when I said that. What I was speaking of was that most of the predators that thought of us as easy game soon learned we were not and taught there young and it became known that humans were too much trouble and not worth the effort and loss. Thus, humanity flourished. Mind you humanity thinks itself to be the only sapient race on our planet as well. Also, we evolved to taste bad to almost all creatures.” I answered still looking at both of the princesses. Celestia decided to enter the conversation at this point. “You say that humanity thinks itself to be the only sapient race on your planet, but you do not see things that way do you?” The smile crept its way across my face once more. “You would be correct in that assumption, just because something does not behave or speak the way you believe a sapient creature should does not mean that it is not a sapient creature. This behavior is pure arrogance in my belief.” I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the wall. “However this is not the information I don’t know whether it would be wise to share.” I finished. “Then what is it?” I heard Celestia say, her voice full of patience. “Put a lie detector spell on first, if you have one, and I will tell you.” I stated not bothering to open my eyes. My eyelids lit up for a second as brilliant light hit them. “Ok, let me preface this by stating that humans are pretty advanced when it comes to technology. We have also gotten to the point where a good portion of our day can be devoted purely to entertainment. Don’t get me wrong we still have to work and do a bunch of things and some have more free time than others.” I opened his eyes. “Humans have something called a television in which we can watch movies, shows, cartoons or other things, all of which are supposedly created within different humans' imaginations. I have a theory that anything that appears in one’s imagination is nothing but a glimpse into another world, though it gets horribly warped it seems. I know of you, your sister, the elements of Harmony, Discord and many other things purely from a cartoon from my world. Now, that does not mean that my knowledge of things is perfect or anything of that nature. Hell, in the cartoon that I watched you and all of the other denizens of this world were quadrupeds that had no need for clothing. I have no clue whether or not the information I got from the cartoon is relevant past certain names, voices and positions. I will have to see what is relevant from the show and what is not. Also, my being in this world does not prove my theory to be correct. It is only evidence.” I continued my long speech; her spell did not react even once. “If not for my spell I would find that hard to believe.” Celestia said her eyes holding confusion. “Now I have another question for you. Would you harm any of our subjects?” She continued. “That question is a bit harder to answer. No, I would not go out of my way to harm one of your subjects unless I was trying to defend myself or my friends. However, I also can’t make any promises because I am very protective and can become very vindictive. It also depends on what you mean by harm. Even when I become vindictive I wouldn’t physically hurt anyone, but there are far worse things than pain.” I said, my face contorted into a slight grimace. Once again her spell stayed dormant. “Also, I wish to become friends with Twilight and her friends. I actually kind of idolize what was presented in the show and would like to see how much of it is true. I am actually really excited as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, what the cartoon I was speaking about is named, was one of my favorite shows. Finally, if you decide that I am too much of a danger to risk please tell Fluttershy the reason I look familiar is that I am in the same biological grouping as chimpanzees, gorillas and other apes. Before you ask I have no clue how my dog and myself got here.” I finished after the grimace disappeared. Celestia looked at her sister and both of them seemed to zone out for a second. After which they looked back at me. “We have decided that you may remain free but, under watch until you prove yourself, one way or another. However, we have yet to decide whether or not you may tell anypony of your theory or of the reason for your knowledge. Now, one final question before we depart. What is your name?” Celestia had a thoughtful look on her face as she asked this. I smiled and took a breath. “You may call me Tec.” “Very well Tec.” Celestia said as she looked to Luna and Luna took her spell down. She then looked to Twilight and nodded her head. Twilight’s spell disappeared and the girls looked at me apprehensively. “Twilight, this is Tec. He is not currently allowed to tell you how he knew anyponies names. However my sister and I do not think that he is an immediate danger to anypony and he has expressed the wish to try and become friends with you and your friends. I must ask would anypony be willing to house him for the time being?” She continued looking upon the girls in front of us. Pinkie Pie got a large smile on her face and her head began to fill up like a balloon before Fluttershy’s small voice stated. “I… um… wouldn’t mind housing him… um… for now… that is if you don’t mind.” I smiled at Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. “Thank you Fluttershy it would be an honor to accept your hospitality.” I said as I walked up to her and kissed her hand. I looked up to see her blushing up a storm. “Pinkie Pie I am very sorry but, I think you and I would get into too much trouble, though, I am hoping for a Pinkie Party sometime in the near future. Now, I have a question for you Fluttershy. Did my dog, Anubis, give you any trouble at all? He is kind of skittish of new people and animals but, he truly is a good dog.” I finished as Pinkie Pie’s head deflated. “My, my what a gentlecolt.” Rarity said with a vibrant smile on her face. Fluttershy’s blush began to fade as she answered. “He was… um… he was… just fine… He really was… truly adorable…” She was backing away slightly. “Thank you very much for making sure that Nubi was ok, I love him and would be sad if anything happened to him.” I said with a very thankful smile. I turned to Twilight and saw Celestia and Luna pop out of the room in the corner of my eye. “Twilight, I wish to have many conversations with you about different theories and other things. It will truly be nice to have someone to speak to about things of a more academic nature.” Twilight began beaming. I turned towards Rarity. “I have a couple of things I would like to commission from you if you wouldn’t mind. I can pay you in labor if need be. I also have a couple of things I would like to talk to you about later, I may not be any kind of expert but I do enjoy looking at and trying to design things of beauty.” Rarity’s smile only grew. I turned towards Rainbow Dash and Applejack. “Rainbow Dash I would absolutely love to talk to you about some possible stunts you may be able to pull off.” Rainbow Dash kind of rolled her eyes. “Applejack I… kind of need your help with something if you don’t mind. Do you mind stepping out for a bit so we can talk about this in a more private environment?” “Well, the princesses said you weren’t all that dangerous and ya sher don’t seem like yer bad or nothin’, so naw I don’t mind a bit.” Applejack said. I walked out of the door with Applejack and followed her towards Sweet Apple Acres. After about 10 minutes of walking in silence and a whole lot of shocked staring, we finally made it to her home. “Hey Big Mac, this here is Tec. We’re gonna go and talk in the barn and he says it’s a bit private so make sher everyone knows not to come in ok.” She shouted to a large red stallion who was wearing nothing but jeans showing his toned abs as he worked in the field. “Eeyup.” He shouted back without looking. Once we were in the barn, Applejack asked. “So, what is that ya need help with?” She drawled out. “In my world I picked up the habit of lying about things. Now, I have fixed a lot of that with age and experience but, I still lie about small things here and there. You are the element of Honesty and I believe you are probably the best one to help me break this habit. Would you mind helping me with this?” I asked slightly sheepishly. “Well now, that wasn’t what I was expecting at all.” Applejack said as she got a thoughtful look on her face. “Sher I don’t mind helping you. Mind you if you hurt Fluttershy or any of the other girls I will not hesitate to put a hurtin’ on you.” She continued. I smiled and went to hug her but stopped himself an unsure look on his face as he said. “Thank you so much.” Applejack smiled and pulled me into a hug. “Yer real friendly you know that?” She stated. “I try to be nice and give others respect. Though if someone loses my respect it is really hard to get it back.” I said as we pulled away. “Now I have to go check on my dog and talk to Fluttershy about my living arrangements. Talk to you later. Also, if you need any help with anything just ask, I will do what I can.” I started to walk away then stopped. I turned towards Applejack and asked, “Would you mind telling me how to get to Fluttershy’s house please?” My face showed a slightly embarrassed grin. “I’ll do ya one better, I’ll take ya there maself.” She said as she walked out of the barn with me in tow. After another 15 minutes of walking and even more stares we got to Fluttershy’s house. Fluttershy was out amongst her animals talking to them and comforting Anubis. I whistled and pat my legs and my dog shot out towards him jumping up on his legs and licking my face once he bent down. “Oh, yes that’s my Nubi isn’t it. Yes, yes I love this boy.” I said as I got the smallish dog off of my legs and got Nubi to follow me. “Thank you once again Fluttershy for this. If you need help with anything please don’t hesitate to ask. I love animals and, while I am by no means an expert, I will definitely help whenever I can.” I said to Fluttershy. After that I turned towards Applejack. “And thank you for showing me the way.” I said to her waving good bye as she headed towards Sweet Apple Acres. “So, you offered for me to stay here quite quickly, even though it is quite obvious you are very shy. Have you had someone in your home before?” I asked Fluttershy as I came up to her. This will either be evidence for or against let’s see which. I thought as I looked at her. “Well… um… yes… I helped one of my friends before… he was um… really lonely and I didn’t want to see you like that… and you seem really nice…” Fluttershy stammered out slowly. “Well…” I actually began to think at that point. Oh shit, I just realized… I can’t see my family… Holy fuck… Fluttershy saw my face become crestfallen as I fell to my knees and tears began to fall unbidden from my eyes my previous excitement completely gone. Fluttershy panicked a bit and rushed over to me pulling me into a hug with her head sitting on mine. “Shh, it’s going to be fine. Shh, I’m here for you.” She whispered to me as tears continued to fall, my face pressed into her chest. If I wasn’t depressed this would be amazing. I thought as I wrapped my arms around her and just cried. A day with the girls(Edited)A day with the girls Three days passed as I wallowed in my depression. Hell, the only reason I could sleep at night is because Fluttershy sang me to sleep each night. I hardly went into town and when I did I avoided everyone. I was so depressed that it actually seemed as if the colors of Equestria had dulled. I hadn’t seen any of the girls save Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, and when I saw her I quickly turned the other direction. Finally, as I sat in the bathroom, I decided to look at myself in the full length mirror Rarity had given Fluttershy. My long brown hair looked absolutely disgusting and greasy as I had not actually showered in days. Yet it also seemed… flat and dull… as this had never happened before I was a little curious… but, I was far too depressed to actually care. My plain black shirt was wrinkled and coated in various animals’ fur and seemed almost like a dark grey. My white pants seemed stained by the dirt. My white shoes were coated in grime. Fuck, don’t even mention my smell, the only reason Fluttershy hadn’t said anything was because she was too nice to tell me that I smelled like the underside of a camels balls. I took a deep breath and called out. “Fluttershy are you home?” “Yes. What… um… what do you need?” Her quite response came from behind the door. “Well, I am going to take a shower and these are the only clothes that I have… do you know where I can have them washed?” I asked a bit ashamed. “Yes. I can take them to Rarity… I mean… if that’s ok.” She stated. “Yes that should be fine. Thank you.” I said my depression still evident in my voice. I quickly undressed and set the clothes outside of the door from behind the door. I heard a small ‘Eeep’ from the other side. “Sorry, are you ok.” “Um… yes… I am just fine. I just wasn’t expecting shoes as well.” Her quiet reply came. “Shit, sorry those must have gotten stuck in the pant legs. I didn’t mean to put those out there. If it’s ok can you set them by the front door so that I can wash them later?” I asked my voice sounding dull even to me. “I can take those over to Rarity as well… if that is ok with you of course.” She stated meekly. “I guess that’s fine…” I replied in a way that can only be described as being well grey. “Ok.” Was all she said before I heard her two hooves clopping away. I took my shower but, didn’t get out when I was done. I just stood there underneath the shower head until the hot water went cold and it forced me to get out. I looked out to see if Fluttershy had returned. Not seeing her anywhere I wrapped a towel around my waist and looked at the mirror once more. I no longer looked gross but, I still seemed to look lackluster. Even my eyes looked duller than usual. Still too depressed to really think this over I headed to the room that had been converted to guest room for me and sat down on the edge of the bed. I put my face in my hands and began to silently cry. Before long I felt a really soft furry hand rubbing my back. I jumped a little at the touch and looked up to see who it was and, much to my confusion, it was Pinkie Pie. I had a sad laugh and said, “so you really can get anywhere at any time for any reason, I didn’t even hear any of the doors open. Is your Pinkie Sense real as well?” “Yep, it sure is.” She said her eyes looking at me with a knowing I never thought was possible. “Do you know what is going on?” I asked never looking away from her brilliant blue eyes. “I know enough.” Was all she said. “I miss them so much…” I stated trying to hold back my tears. “I know you do and I know that we can never replace them, however, know this no matter what happens, they still love you and who knows maybe you can find a way to see them again one day.” She continued while giving me a hug. I turned towards her and put my arms around her and once again bawled my eyes out. I think we may have stayed like that for possibly half an hour before I felt myself pulling myself together. I pulled away, took a deep breath and smiled. Instantly the colors around me seemed brighter and the world seemed more vibrant. Pinkie Pie had an astonished looking smile on her face. “What?” I asked, confusion evident on my face. Her smile grew and she had a bit of a twinkle in her eye. “OHMYGODYOUCANDOITTOO!” She exclaimed almost too fast for me to understand. “Do what exactly?” I asked even more confused. She pulled a mirror out of nowhere and pointed it at me so I could see myself. My hair seemed to be back to its normal dark brown wavy self, my eyes seemed to have more luster than they did moments before, and still I dismissed it. “I still have no clue what you mean.” I said looking at her puzzled. Her smile never left her face. “You can do this.” Instantly her pink coat became darker, the white shirt she had been wearing seemed to turn a bit dingy, the blue jean skirt faded, her mane and tail went flat and became darker as well and her eyes lost any of the previous sparkle. After a few seconds her mane and tail re-inflated and she was back to her normal Pinkie self. “Wait… I actually deflate when I get depressed?” I asked still a little confused. “Yeppers. I haven’t met anypony who can do that as well.” She said curiosity obviously hinged on every word. My eye twitched a bit before I laughed and laughed and laughed. At some point Pinkie joined me in my laughter. After a while I noticed that Fluttershy was standing in the doorway my clothing, folded and cleaned, in one hand and my shoes in the other. She had a bright smile on her face. I slowly caught my breath, still slightly chuckling. “Guess what we found out.” I managed through my slight chuckles. “I don’t know what you found out but, I would imagine it was good from all that laughing.” Fluttershy stated with a happy tone in her voice. “I don’t know if it’s good but, it struck me funny none-the-less. When I get depressed I ‘deflate’ like Pinkie Pie does. She got me to ‘re-inflate’ not too long ago. I wonder what else I can do that she can do.” I said through a wide smile. Fluttershy seemed to get confused for maybe half a second before she herself had to stifle a quiet chuckle. “I don’t know how the girls are going to react to two Pinkie Pies.” Fluttershy said through her smile. “Bubble Berry, not Pinkie Pie. That is the male form.” I said without thinking. Fluttershy’s eyes grew wide. “Um… I mean… uh…” I stammered out. “Damn it!” I exclaimed softly. Pinkie Pie once again had that knowing smile on her face. “Pinkie Pie… I’m not supposed to say anything about that… mind helping me out?” I said quietly enough that Fluttershy couldn’t hear. “Hmm… what would I get out of it?” She whispered back. “One favor. The only limit is that I can’t die.” I answered quietly. “Silly, I wouldn’t get you killed. You promise?” She asked in her hushed tone. “I promise.” I answered getting a bit anxious that Fluttershy would get suspicious of our conversation. “You Pinkie promise?” She continued, a small lilt to her voice. “Yes I Pinkie promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.” I answered back in a hushed tone. “Okie-dokie-Lokie.” She stated before looking at Fluttershy. “He and I started thinking up male names of all our friends after we figured out that he can do some of the stuff that I can.” She quickly continued then smiled a big smile. I swear I heard a squee when she did. “Oh… ok… um… could you tell me what you came up with for me?… I mean if you don’t mind… you don’t have to…” Fluttershy asked meekly. “Butterscotch.” I answered with a smile, thankful that the possible crisis had been avoided. “Rarity is Elusive, Rainbow Dash is Rainbow Blitz, Twilight Sparkle is Dusk Shine and Applejack ‘s name doesn’t really need to change.” I continued. “That is actually very nice.” Fluttershy quietly said with a smile back on her face. “Now… um… not to be rude but, can I get dressed. I don’t think nice mares like yourselves would care to much for me trying to do that with you still in the room.” I stated with a bit of humor. Fluttershy’s face turned scarlet and left immediately… with my clothes… “Okie-Dokie.” Pinkie said as she bounced out closing the door. I just stood there for a bit waiting for Fluttershy to realize she had taken my clothes. I rolled my eyes after three minutes passed. Finally, I heard a knock on the door. “Um… I seemed to have taken… uh… your clothes with me when I left… um…” She said through the door. I smiled and shook my head trying not to laugh. “I know.” I said as I made my way to the door and opened it. She handed me my clothes and shoes and hurriedly left as I shut the door again. I quickly got dressed and put my shoes on, cracked my neck and headed out into the main living area of the cottage. Fluttershy was feeding Angel bunny a carrot and was turned away from me as I walked in, “Fluttershy,” I said trying to get her attention. She eeped, showing that I startled her, before turning towards me, “I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me through my little depression and for taking me in. You truly exemplify your element as your kindness truly knows no bounds. Can I show a bit of my thanks by giving you a hug?” I continued. Fluttershy smiled and walked up to me. “Of course you can.” She said before giving me one of the warmest hugs I have felt in a long time. I smiled and returned the hug. I realized then that Fluttershy was actually quite a bit shorter than me as my chin actually sat on her head. Probably around 5’ or 5’1”. I thought as we hugged. When we stopped hugging I looked at her and saw that she was wearing a green sleeveless sundress that complimented her fur, mane and eyes very well. “You look really good.” I complimented absentmindedly. When I looked at her face again she was once again blushing, the red of her cheeks actually making her even cuter. “I’m sorry if I make you uncomfortable at all.” I said through a grimace. “N… no… n… not uncomfortable… ju… just… unexpected… I don’t usually get… a lot… of… um… compliments…” She stammered out quietly. “I don’t particularly see why you wouldn’t. You are absolutely gorgeous.” I said with a confused look. Her blush deepened. “Sorry, let’s um… let’s go see Twilight to see if she has any news from the Princesses before I cause you to burn up.” I continued as I looked off to my left at nothing in particular. “Yes… um… let’s” she said more quietly than normal. We headed out the door and had an uneventful walk to the library. I knocked on the door and waited. Soon enough the door was opened by the knee high purple dragon that was Spike, he actually didn’t have to wear clothes and was almost identical to the Spike pictured in the cartoon, save for looking realistic instead of cartoony. Still even if he looked realistic he still was completely adorable. “Hey Spike, is Twilight here?” I asked. “Yep.” He answered and said in a louder voice towards the inside of the tree building, “hey Twilight! Tec and Fluttershy are here!” “Coming!” We heard from up the stairs as we walked in. Clopping soon followed as she walked down the stairs with a book floating next to her head to the left, books in her left and right hands and a book off to her right floating as well. She set the all of her books down on a table after bookmarking them. “It’s good to see that you are feeling better Tec.” Twilight said as she sat down in a chair and motioned for us to do the same. I did so and saw that Fluttershy had as well. Then I remembered what had happened not too long ago and began to chuckle again before breaking out into laughter again. “It’s good to see you laughing but, what’s so funny?” She quizzed. As I was unable to catch my breath I looked at Fluttershy and politely motioned for her to explain. “Well, it seems that both Tec and Pinkie Pie share some of the same quirks.” Fluttershy replied in her quiet fashion. “Ok, I still don’t see how that is funny.” Twilight stated in a confused fashion. Pinkie Pie popped out of an empty ink bottle and said. “Tec deflates like I do when he gets sad and poofs up when he becomes happy again. It just isn’t as noticeable on him. We don’t know what else he can do that I can buuuuuut, we are going to find out.” Pinkie Pie smiled a Cheshire grin and bounced out of the house and closed the front door. Twilight looked confused for a moment, then looked at me, her alarm apparent and her eyes wide. “Wait you mean there could be two Pinkie Pies!” She nearly shouted, coming up off of her seat slightly. I finally caught my breath before answering. “Probably not entirely, I have a bit more inhibitions then Pinkie seems to have. Still, her and I will be experimenting later. I am curious if I can do some of the more unexplainable things Pinkie can do. Probably not, is my guess.” I took another deep breath and completely regained my composure before continuing. “However, that isn’t what I came here to speak to you about. Have you received anything from Celestia detailing whether I have permission to expose my knowledge or not?” I could see her struggling with the knowledge that I could possibly have Pinkie Powers but she seemed to have calmed down a bit after I told her that I probably don’t. “Unfortunately, no. I have yet to receive any word on that.” Twilight seemed a bit down when she said that, “however, we will get to see the Princesses in less than a week’s time, that is if you don’t mind coming to my coronation.” She finished. “That is something I wouldn’t miss for the world.” I answered with a huge smile on my face, oh yeah, I get to see her become a Princess, I thought happily. Twilight smiled happily as well. I took the time to notice what she was wearing. She had an indigo button up vest on with a white button up shirt on underneath and a black skirt on. “Damn why the hell are you girls so beautiful.” I said without thinking. Both Fluttershy and Twilight stammered a bit as matching scarlet blushes grew across their muzzles. “Damn it all, I did it again!” I said vehemently. Spike was laughing and rolling on the ground clearly enjoying their embarrassment. “Well, at least it’s true.” I continued under my breath. I stood up and finished with, “Well, before I fluster either of you anymore I need to go and talk to Rarity and thank her for washing my clothes and shoes. Fluttershy thank you for taking me here.” I turned to walk out before hearing Spike exclaim. “Rarity! Can I come with?” I took a deep breath and turned around. “Normally I would say ‘no problem’ but right now I have to talk to her about something of a more personal matter. Sorry Spike. Next time for sure.” I stated as sincerely as I could. I motioned him over to me. He came closer and I whispered, “don’t worry I won’t try to put any moves on her.” His purple scaled face shone bright red as he stiffly nodded, walked to the stairs and sat down. I smiled and waved to the girls and Spike and walked out quite pleased with myself. I headed off towards Carousel Boutique feeling almost happy enough to bounce like Pinkie. On my way over I noticed Applejack selling apples from her stall and decided to talk to her. “Hey Apple Jack, how’s the day treating you?” I asked with a huge smile. “Pretty good so far.” Applejack said. “So, ya feelin’ any better, pardner?” She asked, her concern obvious. “Quite a bit better, actually. Pinkie Pie found a way to cheer me up. Afterwards I spoke to Twilight to see if any word had come from Canterlot. Unfortunately none yet.” I explained with a wide grin. “So, how much have you earned so far?” I asked. “Well, ah got 12 bits in the last hour. Ah had Big Mac over here minden’ the stall this mornin’ not sher how much he pulled in.” She answered. “Hmm. Well, I don’t particularly know if that is good but, good luck with the rest of your day none-the-less. Talk to you in a bit. I need to go and talk to Rarity and thank her for her help. See ya.” I said as I walked off. The Carousel Boutique was not too far from the Twilight’s Library, you could see it from her front door, so the actual walk there didn’t take me too long. I opened the door and heard the bell above me ring. “Rarity are you here?” I asked slightly loudly. “One second, darling, I’ll be right with you.” I heard her state from up the stairs. Well, the Carousel Boutique looks almost identical to what was in MLP. That’s four places on that list. I thought still smiling. Rarity soon came down the stairs wearing a lovely red gown with her red glasses set up upon her horn. “Oh, Tec, how are you? I heard from Fluttershy that you weren’t feeling all that great.” She continued once she saw me. “Yeah… She kind of said something that made me remember that I wouldn’t be able to see my family or my old friends anytime soon. Pinkie found a way to make me smile.” I answered. “I’ll be fine now.” I continued. “Anyways, I actually came over here to thank you for what you did for me this morning. Thank you very much for making sure my clothing got clean. I, also, am going to need more clothing than what I have on. I will do what I can to pay for them, as I can’t actually pay money for them I will do odd jobs and run errands for you. I don’t really need much though. Please, will you help me with this?” I spouted out a small amount of worry apparent in my voice. “Of course dearie and don’t worry too much about paying me back right now. I may have you do something for me later but, then again maybe not. It isn’t like your build is much different from a pony body. Though your shoes are much, much different.” Rarity stated as she went over to her work table. Ah, hell, why not I made half of the other Mane 6 I have met blush already, what’s one more. I thought. “You know, you look utterly gorgeous and that dress really compliments you nicely.” I said to her, she was turned away from me and slightly bent over her work station giving me a pleasant view of her flank. Well, that is a nice view and I’m not even an ass person. I thought. Her flank wasn’t overtly big but at the same time wasn’t small and my guess is that it was pleasantly soft. “Why thank you.” She said as she turned around and caught me in the act of staring at her flank. My eyes slowly traveled up to her face as a guilty grin formed on my face. She had her glasses down in atop her muzzle now but was looking over the top of them with a knowing smirk on her face. My face felt like it was in a furnace I was blushing so badly. Well, I guess karma works here too. I thought as I looked everywhere but at Rarity. “Darling, you really should watch where your eyes wander. A gentlecolt should have a more trained eye than that.” She stated. I saw a chance for redemption and took it. “Ah, but Rarity my eyes are trained. They are trained to only partake in beauty, in all forms. Be it physical or internal.” My blush faded as I partook in a bit of chivalrous sounding smartassery. This time it was her turn to blush. She turned back towards her desk it seemed as if she was bent over a bit more but I couldn’t really tell. “Well then, um… I think I will your clothing ready before Twilights coronation.” She managed to say, without turning towards me. “Ah, speaking of that. I have been invited to her coronation and would very much like to attend. Would it be too much to ask if you have something I could borrow to wear? I wouldn’t want to look anything less than dashing for that and I know that you don’t settle for anything less than utterly fabulous.” I said to her, my eyes continued to wander towards her flank but, I wouldn’t let myself stare as I quickly found something else to stare at just to find my eyes wandering once again. She quickly turned around and looked at me, her face filled with utter glee. “I won’t have you borrow anything, I will just have to make something for you. Something that will be absolutely gorgeous. Something that will accent your natural beauty and show just how handsome you can be.” She stated; her eyes seemed to sparkle in excitement. I could almost see the amount of ideas running through her head. Soon I was in nothing but my black boxer briefs getting all of my measurements taken. When she started measuring down my thighs I closed my eyes and thought to myself don’t get a boner repeatedly as I tried not to think of how hot the mare measuring me was. “You seem to have a lot less fur than I thought you would. I mean, after Fluttershy told me what you told her, I expected you to have quite a bit.” She said thoughtfully. “Well, normally I am furrier than I am now. Not much more but still more. I shaved the day prior to me being transported here.” I said gracious to have something to think about other than the mare in front of me. “Shaved?” She said quizzically. “Yeah, I prefer to have very little or no body hair. Oh yeah, I didn’t tell you it isn’t fur, it’s hair. My kind lost almost all of our ability to grow fur once it was no longer a necessity.” I answered. Thankfully my measurements were taken without incident. Not so thankfully I let my guard down after I put my shirt on and my mind wandered. My manhood ended up peeking out of the opening in front, which, while not too noticeable, was a bit stretched. I immediately tried to hide what had occurred behind my pants but, the blush on her face told me that I wasn’t quick enough. “Um… I’m… um… well, sorry… that is something that sometimes happens…” I muttered as my face flushed scarlet. “Well… I… suppose so… um well… I have to go and start on your… clothing…” she stammered as she quickly made her way up the stairs. I heard a door slam upstairs and went back to putting on my clothing after I tucked my slightly protruding member back where it belonged. Good thing I didn’t get completely hard that would have been far, *far** more awkward.* I thought I heard a muffled moan from upstairs as I put my shoes on and rather than ponder on what she was doing I booked it out of the Carousel Boutique and found myself in the middle of town. I was bent over breathing heavily, less from the running and more so from the mental stimulation that had just occurred. “Hey, haven’t seen you around since the day you got here.” I heard Rainbow Dash say from above me. She didn’t sound too amused. “Yeah, I kind of had a little breakdown. Pinkie fixed it.” I answered as I caught my breath and looked up. … bad idea… she was in a denim skirt and was flying just high enough that I could see that she wasn’t wearing any panties under her spats. I immediately looked down. “Um… you… you should come lower to the ground…” I managed to say. “Why?” She asked genuinely confused. I looked around to see if anyone was around seeing no one within hearing distance, I told her. “I can tell you aren’t wearing any panties underneath your spats.” I answered. “Oh…” was I all heard her say before her wing beats grew closer. When I could see her hooves hovering just above the ground I looked up. As I stated before, she was wearing a denim skirt with black spats what I didn’t see is that she had a dark blue t-shirt on with the logo ‘Wonderbolts’ printed in yellow and yellow lightning bolts going down from her shoulders. Also, I noticed that her wings were pretty small and only extended to her elbow. Well they *are** magical denizens of a magical world,* I thought as my brain tried to apply Earth biology to the light blue Equestrian. She had her hands on her hips and was looking at me with an unamused looking half smirk she still had a bit of a blush on her face but, it was barely noticeable. “So, you said that you had some stunts you could share with me?” She asked almost deadpan. “Yeah… I kind of said that in the spur of the moment… I can give you some ideas… but… I can’t think of any right now.” She rolled her eyes. “However,” a mischievous grin played itself across my face, “I do have a prank we can do right now.” That got her attention and her face lit up with excitement. Half an hour and 14 bits later Pinkie Pie was bouncing through the park with her normal glee and happiness. Suddenly she was jerked off her feet. “Weee!” She screamed in delight as she was turned upside down and dangled from a tree by one hoof. She heard a something pulling against something and giggled with pure happiness. In no time at all she heard something snap and felt herself being sling-shot into the air. “WEEEEEEEEEEE!” She screamed with a fun filled smile on her face. She found herself slamming face first into a giant tiered cake with pink and white frosting. She noticed, before she hit, that the cake had red icing on it that spelled out, ‘Got’cha Pinkie, Tec and Dash’. She giggled as she popped out of the cake and said, “That was fun, can we do it again?” Her face still turned up in her adorable perpetual smile. Rainbow Dash and I were laughing our asses off from behind a bush as she got out of the cake and, somehow, licked all of the icing and cake bits off of her in one fell swoop. She devoured the cake in record time and bounced over to us giggling. “Hey Dashie, hey Tec!” She exclaimed happily. “You know what this means right.” Her smile grew to a Cheshire grin and she got a glimmer in her eye that caused both Dash and I to stop laughing and shiver a bit. “PRANKWAR!” She screamed joyously. Dash and I looked at each other and she seemed to be thinking the same thing I was… Oh, shit… what have done… Then we both took off in opposite directions. About 10 minutes later I was breathing heavily from all my running as I looked up to see where I was. Turned out that I was actually directly under the tree where we set up the first part of the prank. I heard flapping and saw Dash flying towards me. “That was so awesome!” She said once she got close enough. “You can say that again.” I said as I laughed some more. I held up my fist and in response she touched her fist to mine in a fist bump. “Oh, you know those stunts I was talking about?” I asked after we laughed a bit more. She raised one eyebrow and nodded an affirmative. “I remembered something that you may like to see.” I said with a wide grin. She smirked at me and we headed back towards town. After maybe three minutes of walking we made it back to the middle of town. I judged the distance between each of the buildings and thought, Yeah, should be fine. I stretched my legs, back and arms a bit. I checked my pockets, something I had yet to do since I got to Equestria, and found that I had left my black biking gloves and my handy spring loaded switch blade in my pocket. I knew my shoes weren’t preferable for what I was going to do but, you make do. “Hey Dash, can you hold this for me?” I asked as I pulled both of my gloves and my knife out and held out the knife for her to take. She did with a confused expression. I slid the form fitting gloves on and stretched my legs a bit more. I looked around a bit more and plotted a bit of a route. Then I took off. I ran up to a nearby tree and ran up it a bit before catching myself on a branch and flipping myself off of it and onto the top of the flower shop. I continued my running and picked up speed before leaping off of the flower shop and ‘rolling’ in the air over to a nearby building with a flat roof. I picked up speed and did a sort of spinning flip that led into a back flip over to the next flat roofed building. Catching myself on the edge and pushing myself into another spinning flip that turned me around, I bolted forward making more and more flips as I went from one flat topped building to another finally ending up next to Twilights library jumping over to one of the trees branches bounding off of it doing another spinning flip and rolling on the ground before ending up on my feet. Rainbow Dash was flying about 15 feet away from me with a giddy look on her face and her wings flapping stiffly. She landed right next to me and got right in my face. Her wings were still spread wide apart. “That… was… So… AWESOME!!” She exclaimed giddy with excitement, she almost sounded like she was squeaking her voice went so high. “You HAVE to teach me how to do that!” She continued. “I… can… but, later… ok…” I said between deep breaths. After a while I finally caught my breath and said, “Hey, hand me my knife.” She did and I pocketed it again, I pulled my gloves off and used the Velcro on them to fasten to my pants. “Hey, I’m starving wanna grab a bite to eat?” I asked her. “Sure, let’s go.” She said as we headed off towards a nearby café. After we ate and shared our goodbyes I walked and thought where I wanted to go next. Let's see if Applejack is finished, I thought still a bit tired from the running. I made my way over to check if her stall was still up and found her standing next to it packing everything up. "You need any help?" I asked as I neared the stall. "Sher. Why don'tcha load up some of them apples over there inta the cart." Applejack answered as she pointed to some buckets under the stall. "Ok." I said as I loaded up the buckets. I found them to be a bit heavy and was thankful that I was in better shape than I had been in a long time. Thank the gods for my interest in parkour and martial arts. I thought. After loading up all of the buckets, I decided to be a bit chivalrous and offered to pull the cart. Needless to say I was sweating my ass off when we finally pulled into the Apple farm. Big Mac came and took the cart from me once we entered and he non-nonchalantly pulled it into the barn. I just looked at the barn and thought, fucking earth ponies. I caught my breath and stretched. I looked at Applejack and saw that she was wearing jeans that fit her very snugly, a long sleeved, white, button up shirt with a green vest, that was left open, over it and, of course, she was wearing her brown stetson over her blond locks. All though she was toned, she was, also, pretty curvaceous. "You girls are almost unbelievably beautiful." I said quietly. Apparently not quietly enough as her face immediately brightened in a blush. "Um... well... Ya, really think so?" she stuttered. "Well, yeah. I mean, take you, for example. You are toned but, at the same time you have curves on you that would make a lot of women from my world jealous. Your eyes are utterly stunning and, while you may not take care of it like Rarity does with hers, your mane and tail are beautiful." I stated matter of factually. "Wow... Ah, ain't never got a compliment like that..." She said. She was still blushing but her face had a look of disbelief. "Well, I suggest you get used to it. I kind of have a habit of complimenting beauty when I see it. Especially when the outer beauty matches the inner beauty." I said with a smile on my face. Applejack shook her head in disbelief. I walked over to her and brought her into a warm hug. "If anyone ever tells you that you are anything other than absolutely stunning they are an idiot." I said quietly. I could feel her heat up as we hugged and I let her go. "Hey, wanna let Winnona play with Anubis at some point?" I asked. "Sher... why not..." She stated her face still beyond red. After that I waved goodbye to her while I walked to Fluttershy’s cottage as the sun went down. All in all that was a good day. Started off a bit rough but ended great! I thought as I laid down for a little nap, after all that running and jumping and working I was beyond exhausted. Darkness settled in as I fell asleep feeling better than I had in days. Pinkie's Favor(Some Nudity)(Edited)Pinkie's Favor(Some Nudity) I woke up after that day of exertion feeling pretty sore so I stretched my arms up and brought my back into a bit of an arc and suddenly felt something warm and fuzzy on my morning erection. Now I knew that I was naked but, I hadn’t questioned it because it wasn’t the first time I fell asleep clothed and woke up naked, this, however caused my eyes to shoot open and what I saw stunned me… Rainbow Dash was in bed with me… entirely nude… I tried to keep my eyes from wandering but… well, it didn’t really work. Her cyan fur was silky and shined a bit with the morning rays. Her breasts were beautifully shaped, she was about a b-cup, and she had two small beads of darker blue that were her nipples. Her areolas weren’t much bigger than the nipples but, were the same blue. Her Stomach was beautifully toned and her belly button was cute. Her hips thighs were toned as well and that made for one beautiful flank. Then, she moved a bit and her fur brushed against my manhood causing it to twitch and, subsequently, giving me a small show of the gorgeousness that was her marehood, a wondrous shade of light pink that contrasted so well with the cyan of her fur. I saw that my blanket had been shoved down towards the bottom of the bed. I heard an ‘eep’ from behind me that developed into a quick but quiet, “I’m sorry.” Then the door was shut loudly, not exactly slammed but it was loud enough. I turned my head to look at the door and shook my head confused as to how this happened and what I was going to do. I turned my head back around and saw that Rainbow Dash had woken up and was silently staring at my lean chest. Her magenta eyes wide and her mouth hanging open. I cleared my throat to get her attention. She blushed and tried to look at her hooves then blushed some more as she caught sight of my erect cock and decided that the ceiling would be better to stare at. “I don’t quite know how this happened. I know that I was alone when I fell asleep and I don’t think you would get into the bed of someone you barely know especially…” I started and a blush formed, I cleared my throat and began again, “especially like this.” I finished. I stood up and began getting dressed. “Are… Aren’t you going to ask me to leave or something?” She asked while I pulled on my boxer-briefs. “Nope, you’ve already seen all there is to see no point in getting worked up about it. I will, however, leave as you get dressed.” I answered. “Um… one problem… I don’t have anything here…” She muttered… fuck… I thought. “Pull the blanket around you. We need to figure something out.” I stated. “Why? You just said that there was no point in getting worked up about it?” She said quizzically and I think I detected a bit of a defensive quality to her tone. “Because I need to be able to think and if I look at your gorgeous, athletic body any longer I won’t be able to concentrate on anything other than wanting you.” I answered. “That and this boner is getting a bit painful. Actually, you know what I’ll be back in a bit. Please be covered up when I get back.” I said as I turned towards the door went through and closed it again. I made my way to the bathroom and… took care of some business. When I returned I no longer had an erection and she was covered by the blanket and sitting up. My face was quite flushed. “Now, you need clothes, we need to figure out what happened and we need to get Fluttershy to believe that we weren’t, well, involved.” I saw her eyes open really wide. “Wait Fluttershy saw us like that… Ah buck…” She stated quickly. “Yeah, not that I wouldn’t get involved but, I don’t want your reputation to fall. Not with any of your friends.” I stated still trying to think of how in the world this happened. I saw her face flush even further. Than a thought hit me… “I think I know how this happened…” I paused and looked into her eyes and saw the realization in hers as well, “Pinkie.” We both said at the same time with finality. “I’m gonna go get Fluttershy so we can explain to her. You stay here I will bring her.” I said with a sigh. I turned to the door and walked out to look for Fluttershy. I heard the clatter of metal against metal and sizzling coming from the kitchen. I took a breath and walked in to find that Fluttershy was cooking some kind of yellow… bacon? Wait no, not important. Talk. I thought. “Fluttershy, um… you, Dash and I need to talk.” I said to her. “No… no, what you do… and with whom… is… um… none of my business.” She said quietly, never once looking at me. “That’s the thing we didn’t do anything.” I said sincerely. She looked at me then, her blush fading slightly and her face showed obvious confusion. “When you’re done please come to the room you allowed me and we will explain.” I stated. “Well… ok, then… and… um… that’s your room you know… you can call it that…” She said with a soft expression on her face. I smiled. “I… well… Thank you.” I finally said. I walked back to my room and opened the door. Rainbow apparently thought that I was going to be away longer than I was because when I opened the door I found her knuckle deep inside herself and moaning. I shut the door and walked back out with a huge blush on my face and a raging boner. I went back to the bathroom and began to wait out my erection. After about fifteen minutes I had finally calmed down and went back to my door. This time I knocked. “Come in.” I heard her muffled answer. I did so and she was covered back up and was blushing just as badly as I was. “Well…” she started, I noticed that since she had awoken her wings had not gone down. “Now you really have seen everything…” she muttered. “It was my fault for not knocking. I am truly sorry that you were seen like that…” I started, “however, I am not so sorry that I was the one who saw you. Um… so… in return I will offer you one favor. The only limit is that I can’t die. I have nothing else to offer as a means of apology.” I continued. “You don’t have to tell me what you want now and there is no time limit as to how long you have to tell me.” I finished. She nodded her head. I heard a knock on the door and I said, “Come in.” The door opened and Fluttershy stepped in. “Ok, to start off, I fell asleep right after sunset and I was dressed and alone. I woke up and Rainbow Dash was there. All, I know is my side. Rainbow?” I stated and Rainbow nodded her head. “I went to sleep, in my home, somewhere around ten. I woke up here.” Rainbow stated. “We pranked Pinkie yesterday and she declared a prank war. I think this is her prank.” I said afterwards. “I’m not entirely sure but, I am almost entirely sure.” I finished. Fluttershy nodded as understanding set in. “Also, um… Dash has no clothes here…” I said. “Oh, um… I can go and get them for you… if that’s ok.” She answered. Rainbow Dash shook her head in an affirmative. “You might want to put them into something so that other people don’t see it. We don’t want any rumors, right.” I quickly added. Fluttershy nodded and she closed the door. After a while I heard the front door shut. “Ok. Now, I have to go and check on my new clothes. Are you ok staying here by yourself for a bit?” I asked. “Yeah, I’ll be good.” Rainbow stated nonchalantly. “K. See ya.” I said as I walked out and shut the door. I went out the front door, shutting it as well, and made my way to Rarity’s. I got there without incident and opened the door. She was working on something at her workstation when I entered. “One second darling, I will be right with you.” She said without looking up. Shrugging silently, I sat in a stool near me and looked around at her different works. The dresses set up were absolutely beautiful, simply stunning truly. There were dresses with gems on them, dresses that shone with the utmost brilliance. I heard someone clear their throat. I turned my head and realized my mouth had dropped open. I promptly closed it and laughed a bit. “Well, at least you know that I like them.” She chuckled. “So, what brings you here, darling?” She asked. “Do you have at least one pair of clothing done? I kind of need to have some clothes to alternate so that I don’t start smelling bad.” I said with a grimace, remembering just how bad I smelt. “I have two actually. I made them a bit simple. I hope you don’t mind.” She answered. “Thank the Gods and thank you for even agreeing to do this in the first place. So, at the risk of sounding rude, where are they? I kind of sweat a lot yesterday and need to get the filth off of me quickly.” I explained. She smiled and pointed towards a small box. “I was going to take them to you when I took my lunch. I thought you might need them pretty quickly so I got those two completed before I started on your outfit for the coronation. Also, if you need the get clean quickly, you can use the shower upstairs, just leave your clothes by the door and I will get them clean.” Rarity stated. I was completely stunned. “I realize that you are the element of generosity and that this is going to sound redundant but, you are ridiculously generous. You hardly know me and you are willing to do all this.” I said with a look of pure disbelief. “You girls really do completely resemble your elements.” I continued and shook my head still stunned. “Back where I am from, people of your and your friends’ caliber are few and far between. I am happy I got the chance to actually meet you girls.” I rambled. …and see one of you naked I added in my head. “Why thank you, darling. As I said the shower is upstairs first door on the right.” She happily said. I went over to the small box and opened it. I found two full pairs of clothing: socks, underwear and all the other amenities. One shirt was a plain white tee and the other was a green shirt. One pair of pants was black and the other was dark blue. I decided to go with the white shirt and the black pants and picked up one of the pairs of boxer-briefs and a pair of socks. I hurried up into the bathroom and, after disrobing completely and putting my clothes in the hall, hopped into the opulent shower. Now, the shower was gaudy and had a lot of gold on it and I found it to be quite tacky, but, then again, I dislike gold with a passion. Still, I was in someone else’s house, using their things, so I kept my mouth shut. I showered quickly and toweled off and quickly got dressed. My hair was still slightly wet but, no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to stay strait. Gods damn it all. Now my hair is acting just like Pinkie’s, not that I should really be surprised. I thought. I went downstairs and said. “Thank you once again. Also, have you seen Pinkie?” “It was my pleasure. Hmm, not yet, though with that mare if she doesn’t want to be found, you never would see her again.” She answered chuckling slightly. I smiled and thought she’s probably entirely correct. I grabbed the box and found that my original clothes were in it and they were completely clean. “Well, that was done fairly quickly. Thank you once again Rarity.” I said, still smiling. “Yes, yes. I have all kinds of useful spells for apparel, so it was really no trouble.” She answered. I waved goodbye and decided If Pinkie wants war… then she better bunker down, cause we’re gonna blitzkrieg this mother fucker! Now to go get Rainbow Dash… The walk back was uneventful but it gave me some time to think of many, many possibilities. When, I got back Fluttershy had finished her cooking and was eating slowly while talking to Rainbow Dash. They were laughing a bit when I entered the dining room. “Ah, Tec, if you’re hungry there is some food for you in the kitchen… I mean if that ok. You don’t have to eat it.” Fluttershy said to me. “And miss out on your wonderful cooking, I think not.” I answered as I headed into the kitchen. Anubis was stretched out in front of the stove trying to look innocent. I shook my head and called him to me by snapping my fingers and patting my leg. He readily jumped up and walked over to me quickly. I crouched down and pet him for a bit and kissed him on his forehead. Then, I got the food and quickly made my way to the table. I smiled at both of them and thanked Fluttershy for the food before digging in. Afterward breakfast I looked to Rainbow Dash with a mischievous smile. She looked back confused and then blushed. I became confused for a moment before realizing what she thought my smile meant. “Hey Dash, I thought of a way to get Pinkie, even if we can’t find her.” My smile returned. Her blush faded and understanding replaced it, then, finally, a smirk appeared on her face. “So, what’s your plan?” Rainbow asked simply. “All will be revealed soon, my dear.” I said with a devious smirk. “First though, I must help with the dishes.” I said with an undetectable amount of enmity in my voice. “No, you really don’t hav…” Fluttershy started. “Sorry, not going to happen. I am going to help and that is final.” I interrupted, stood up and walked into the kitchen with the dishes. I quickly washed them and walked back into the dining room. Dash and Fluttershy had a look of slight disbelief on their faces. “What?” I asked. “Wow… you don’t even leave room for argument.” Rainbow said. “Well, yeah, that’s the point. I need to do something so I don’t end up abusing her kindness. I’m really happy that you all are helping me but, if I allow myself to sit and do nothing I will end up being a horrible friend.” I stated bluntly. “Well, then. Thank you Tec.” Fluttershy said in her soft tones. She was smiling softly. “No thanks needed, though you are welcome. Friends help friends. Period.” I simply stated. A song popped up in my head and I smiled and laughed a bit. “What’s funny? Thinkin’ of the prank for later?” Rainbow quizzed. “No. I had a song pop up in my head.” I answered. “Oh, what is it? I mean, you don’t have to tell me… if you don’t want to.” Fluttershy asked. “Uh… well… um…” I started, trying to think of something to say that would make sense. “I don’t remember most of the lyrics anymore.” I lied. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy stated. I walked over and pulled her into a hug. “Thank you for offering me kindness, when you didn’t know me and thank you for giving me a chance.” I had the urge to kiss her cheek but I refrained. Fluttershy hugged me back and when we pulled away I looked to Rainbow. “You ready?” I asked. She smiled and nodded. “I’ll be back later Flutters,” I stated to Fluttershy with a smile. She blushed a bit at, what I assume was, the nickname I had decided to use. Dash and I walked out. After a while Dash began laughing really loudly. “Flutters… really… Flutters!” She stated in between her laughter. “Better that than what I have for you and far better than what I have for Celestia and Luna.” I stated simply with a smile and sped up a bit. She took to the air and flew in front of me and turned around, continuing to fly backwards. “Wait. What do you have for me, Celestia and Luna?” She asked. I smirked and snickered a bit. “Little Dashie, Sun-butt and Moon-butt, respectively.” I answered. At the mention of her nickname she frowned a bit but at the mention of Celestia and Luna’s her eyes went wide and she tried to hold back laughter. “You… can’t… say that… about… the Princesses…” She said trying very unsuccessfully to keep in her laughter. “I wouldn’t say it to them to their faces until I knew them a lot better.” I said still smiling. “Also, if you don’t watch where you are going you’re going to hit something.” “Pfft, come on I won’t hi…” She started before smashing the back of her head into a branch. “Ow, oh buck, that hurt.” She said after turning around. She rubbed her head. “Told you.” I said as I chuckled. “Yeah, yeah. So what’s this idea of yours?” She asked, we had made it about half way to town at this point. “Before I tell you I need you to go and get some clouds. I need to go get a small pool.” I said as I turned towards Sweet Apple Acres. She stopped me and asked. “Ok, why are you being so secretive about this?” “Because I have a feeling Pinkie is around.” I said as I suddenly felt the urge to look at a bee hive. Pinkie popped out of it and said. “Ahh… and I thought I was hiding really well too.” She shrugged and bounded off in the direction of town. I turned back towards Dash. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. “How in the hay did you find Pinkie when she was hiding?” She asked. I chuckled again. “Eh, just a hunch.” I said smiling. “Now, I need you to get enough clouds together to make a bed, I’ll go get the pool.” She shook her head. I walked over to Applejack’s and asked Applejack, when I found her, “Do you have a small pool or something like that I can borrow? Nothing too big.” “Well sher we do but, why do ya need it?” She asked scratching her head in confusion. “Rainbow Dash and I are in a prank war with Pinkie.” I answered simply. “Uh-huh. Well ah guess it’ll be fine just bring it back when yur done I guess.” She said as she led me to the barn and over to a small two foot wide wooden pool like thing. “Perfect. Thank you AJ.” I said as I pulled her into a hug, which she returned. “Also, can we have a talk tomorrow about my little habit?” I asked as we split. “Sher. I was wonderin’ when you were gonna ask me ‘bout that.” She answered. “You know, country accents usually grate on my nerves but, I actually find yours to be really cute.” I said without thinking. Her face blushed heavily. “Sorry, just tell me if I ever make you feel uncomfortable.” “Ah just ain’t used to gettin’ compliments from a stallion. Ah ain’t pretty like Rarity or cute like Fluttershy.” She managed. “No, you aren’t. You are you, not them. You have things that make you alluring that none of the others have and they have things that make them appealing that you don’t have. Plain and simple. Now, if you don’t mind I have to go and get a lot of pudding.” I rambled. “Wait, what now?” She asked. “Pudding.” I said as I grabbed the small wooden pool, it wasn’t all that heavy so I had no issues carrying it with me. I walked the rest of the way to town and there I met Rainbow. “So, what are we doing exactly?” She asked. “We’re going to fill this pool with pudding and place it underneath the cloud that you are going to make look like a bed and replace Pinkie’s with.” I answered. “Wait… Pudding, really?” She asked. “Yep. She will probably already know what’s going to happen but, she’ll let herself fall for it anyways.” I stated. “So, where’s the cloud?” I asked. “I have it near my house so it doesn’t attract attention.” She said quietly. 1 hour and 17 bits later “To bad we won’t see what happens.” Dash said solemnly. “Yeah, though, I am glad I left that letter asking for a truce for now.” I said. “What, why?” She asked . “Because, I don’t want to find anymore naked mares in my bed that weren’t there by choice.” I answered. She blushed heartily. “Ok, I get it.” She answered. We were sitting down at a table at Sugarcube Corner then were heard a loud thump from upstairs and laughing. “Huh, that happened quicker than I thought it would.” I said, more to myself than anyone else. After a couple seconds Pinkie, who was completely clean, bounced down the stairs with a huge smile on her face and my note in her hand. “That was funny and delicious. Truce accepted for now. So, how did you two like mine?” She asked. We both blushed madly. Her smile only grew. “OH! I know what I want my favor to be. Sorry Dashie, I’m going to borrow Tec for a bit.” Pinkie spouted out as she grabbed my arm and bounced away with me in tow. We exited the bakery and she continued forward for a while before I could get my arm loose, damn earth ponies are strong, I thought. “So, what is the favor?” I asked. “You’re going to spend the whole day with me.” She said as she smiled, I heard the squee once again. “Ok, no problem. I kind of wanted to spend some time with you anyways.” I said smiling. I looked at her and saw that she was wearing a light purple dress with short sleeves that came down to the middle of her thighs. She had two blue, balloon earrings on at the bottom of her ears and I also noticed that she had three more piercings in each ear. They were small, simple, silver beads. I, also, noticed that Pinkie Pie was probably the most endowed of the mane six, her only possible rival being Fluttershy. I pulled her into a hug, which she happily returned. “Pinkie Pie, you are really huggable you know that?” I said. “Aww thanks.” She answered. “So where to first?” I asked. “Don’t know. What do you want to do?” She asked. “Well, you know any good areas to swim?” I asked. “Ooo! That sounds fun! Let’s go!” She stated excitedly and pulled me off quickly. After around five minutes we were in the park next to a pretty decent sized pond. I smiled. “This is going to be fun.” I said as I looked around. Seeing nobody, I stripped down to my underwear. Pinkie Pie was wide eyed. “What?” I asked smirking. “Like what you see?” Pinkie blushed. Then, she looked thoughtful. Then, shrugging, she too stripped down to her under clothes. My eyes got very wide as I saw her dark red bra, that was just barely holding her in, and panties, her huggable soft stomach and cute belly button. “What? Like what you see?” She asked giggling. I just nodded an affirmative. She blushed again at my bluntness. I smiled and jumped strait into the water. I found that the pond was pretty deep and I didn’t touch the bottom even as I sank a few feet into the water. I saw Pinkie enter from under the water and we surfaced at the same time. I splashed her and laughed, she returned the favor and we both laughed. I dove down to see how deep it was. I found that it was around thirteen feet deep. When I surfaced again Pinkie had disappeared I looked around wondering where she had gone. After about a minute I began to panic a bit, suddenly I got glomped from behind, Pinkie’s large breasts pressed against my back. I fought a boner and dove back down. She released her arms and I turned around under the water. I smiled as I had a devious thought. I swam up to her stomach and tickled her. I heard muffled laughter and she began to kick around a bit. I swam up further and surfaced and began to tickle anywhere I could reach without touch her inappropriately. We played around in that pond for somewhere around six hours before we finally got out and dressed again. I looked up and saw that the sun was setting. “Pinkie, this was really fun. Thank you.” I said as I pulled her into a hug she returned it and laughed. “Today’s not over yet silly. Come on let’s head over to Twilight’s.” She said. I shrugged and began walking in that direction. I was tired but in a good way and not so tired that I was going to fall on my face anytime soon. A song came to mind and I smiled and began to hum the tune. Pinkie, who was bouncing in front of me stopped. “Is that what I think it is?” She asked turning around with a huge smile on her face. “Probably. Why?” I answered. “I don’t know how you know that song but, now we are going to sing!” She said in a sing-song voice. “Oh, this is going to be awesome.” I said as my smile grew. “I’m going to sing it a bit differently though.” I continued. “Ok!” She said just before beginning her song. I began at the same time singing with a nice baritone. My name is Bubble Berry (Hello!) And I am here to say (How ya doin'?) I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day It doesn't matter now (What's up?) If you are sad or blue (Howdy!)

All in all it was nice. Soon we found ourselves outside of Twilight’s home and both of us were laughing loudly. Pinkie opened the door and we walked in. We were laughing so hard that I didn’t question why it was completely dark and when I finally caught my breath the lights flashed on and every pony yelled out ‘Surprize!’ as a few party poppers went off. I jumped a bit at that. Then, I smiled widely and looked to Pinkie. “So, I am getting my Pinkie Party now, I take it.” She giggled and nodded. “Tec,” I heard a voice try to get my attention, I turned and found Applejack with two mugs in her hands. “Howdy pardner, y’all wanna try some cider?” She asked. “Hell yeah, I love cider.” I said as I took the offered mug and drank some. It tasted wonderful, sweet but, not overly so, with a heady cinnamon spice to it. I also felt a small burning in the back of my throat that I recognized. “Hm… I’ve never had hard cider before. Warning: I am a light-weight and I have no inhibitions when drunk.” I said to AJ. “Please spread that around a bit AJ. I don’t want anyone to think badly of me because of tonight.” She nodded and said. “Alraht. Will do. Hope you have fun.” She walked off and I heard her start talking to someone. I downed the mug of cider and looked for the refreshment table. I saw it near the stairs and began to make my way there. On the way I said hello to a few ponies, got a few names and shook a few hands. Once I got there, I saw that it was piled with food. Oh this is going to be delicious. I thought as I took a plate and put a little of everything on it. I also found the wooden keg of cider near the table. I filled my mug once more and sat back listening to the music and sipping from my mug with my eyes closed. “Hey, Tec! Awesome party huh!” A voice said. “Yeah, it’s totally off the hook Dash.” I said to her without opening my eyes. “Huh… Oh! Ok yeah! The cider’s great!” Rainbow said. “Yeah but, I have to go easy so I don’t get drunk to fast.” I said as I opened my eyes and looked at my mug. “Buck that man! I challenge you to a drinking contest!” She said with bravado. “Fine, fine but, I choose the game.” I said. “Wait, what do you mean game?” She asked. “Why just have a drinking contest? Why not make it a bit more challenging and more fun?” I said smiling. “That sounds awesome! What game then?” She practically squeaked. “A little game called beer pong. Do you know what it is?” I continued. “Uh… no.” She said confused. “Well first we are going to need to get to an empty table. You go find that and I will get us what we need for it.” I stated. She nodded and took off to find a table. I gathered up twelve empty mugs and realized I needed help. “Watcha’ doin’?” a happy voice asked from behind me. “Going to play a party game with Dash. Pinkie would you mind helping me with these twelve mugs and possibly getting some more help. I need these mugs to be half filled with water. I also need a small Ping-Pong ball, two shot glasses and for the cider to be moved to where Dash is.” I listed. “Ok.” Pinkie said as she scanned the room a bit then took off. She soon returned with Twilight and Applejack. “So, yer playin’ a drinkin’ game with RD?” Applejack asked. “Yep, did Pinkie explain what I needed?” I answered. “Yes she did. To be honest I am curious as to what this game entails.” Twilight said smiling. Twilight’s aura coated the mugs as she levitated them up and took them all into the kitchen. Applejack smiled and said. “Ah’m a might curious about this game too.” She lifted up the keg and asked. “How’s it played?” “Stick around to watch and you’ll find out. I have to explain it to Dash as well.” I answered as I looked for Rainbow. I saw her flying above the crowd. She pointed down then, flew down. I walked over to where she was and had AJ put the keg down near the table. She took a seat on the top of it careful not to block access to it. Pinkie had followed too and pulled two shot glasses and a Ping-Pong ball out of her hair. “Rainbow fly up and get Twilight’s attention when you see her, she has the mugs we need.” “Alright.” She said as she flew up. Pinkie set the shot glasses on either side of the table and gave me the ball. “AJ, you wanna be our ‘bar-tender’ for the game?” I asked her. “Sher, why not.” She answered. I handed her my shot glass and got Pinkie to hand her the other one. “Fill ‘em up. When Twilight gets here we can begin.” AJ did so and handed both glasses back. Dash flew down soon after and eyed the shot glass. She reached out to grab it but, I stopped her. “Don’t drink that yet. That is part of the game.” I said. Twilight soon got to the table. I grabbed two of the mugs and began setting up my end of the table. When I was done it looked like a triangle with six cups. I had seen that Twilight had set up the other side following my example. “UBERFUNPARTYGAMECOMPETITIONBETWEENRAINBOWDASHANDTEC!” Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs. The music turned down a bit and everyone began looking our way. “Well ok then, looks like we have an audience. This game can be played one on one or in teams we are playing one on one. You and I will bounce this ball until one of us makes it into the other’s cup and the other doesn’t to decide who will go first. You either play by the Elbow or Wrists rule, in which you either have to keep your elbow or your wrists behind the table. We will be playing by the wrists rule. There is Re-wracking in which you can ask for the cups to be rearranged before you take your turn. If you are playing with more than six cups you may do this at six, four, three or two cups. Six cups are made into a triangle. Four cups are made into a diamond. Three cups are made into a triangle. Two cups are set one right in front of the other. You can always request for the last cup to be pulled back and centered. You can always ask for the cups to be fixed. This is not racking. You are just asking for the cups to be returned to the position where they would have been if they hadn’t slid or been knocked out of position. Bitch cup is one of my favorite rules. If you make it into the cup that your opponent is drinking out of, even if it is set on the table you win, period. Rollbacks is another cool rule. After you shoot the ball, if it comes back to you without touching the floor it is your turn again. You may also snatch it mid-air. Solo cup is a fun rule that can backfire. Once per game you can call out a specific cup that isn’t touching another cup, those that slid away instead of being singled out by the other cups around it being hit do not count. If this cup is hit then you pull that cup and one other of your choice, from your cups, out of the game. If a different cup is hit no cups are removed. Also, no magic and no flying.” Once I finished telling them the rules I smirked and looked at Rainbow. “You ready?” I asked. “Psh, I was born ready.” She answered with a smirk of her own. She set the mug she was drinking from on a small round table off to the side that had a lamp on it. Then she sat back a smug look on her face. I tossed the ball and it went into the cup in the middle. She tossed the ball back and landed it in the same cup. We went back and forth like this for a while until I missed and she hit. “Looks like you go first.” I said as I passed the ball to Pinkie and Pinkie passed it to Dash. “Of course, I’m awesome.” She said as she tossed the ball into the cup in the back. I removed the cup and took the shot. I handed it to AJ who filled it up again. I stretched a bit and cracked my neck. I thought for a bit then smirked. “Awesome enough to lose with grace?” I questioned Rainbow. “Pfft, I don’t lose.” She answered. “We’ll see.” I said still smirking. Then I took a breath, steadied my hand and took the shot. The ball bounced off of the edge of the table causing it to break towards the round table and strait into Dash’s drink. “Ha, you overshot!” She said smiling. “Nope, I got it exactly where I wanted it.” I said. “You wanted to miss?” She asked confused. “I didn’t. Bitch cup.” I answered simply still smiling deviously. “Pinkie five more shot glasses please. I want Dash to take her shots one right after another because she just lost.” I continued. Rainbow’s eyes went wide. Pinkie pulled out the five shot glasses, from nowhere it seemed, and AJ filled them. AJ was fighting laughter and Pinkie was smiling widely. Even Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity were giggling a bit. Dash growled a bit and slammed her shots one right after another. “Rematch!” Was all she said after that. She won that game and the subsequent one. I won the two after that. It was about two hours later and I was completely smashed and giggling to myself. There were still ponies playing beer pong. Pinkie walked up to me after a bit. “Hey Tec! Havin’ fun?” She asked. “C’mon Pinkie, this is a Pinkie Party, those are always going to be fun.” I managed doing my best not to slur, as such I was talking a bit faster. A song started playing that caught my attention. I grabbed Pinkie’s hand and said, “Dance with me Pikie.” She giggled and followed me to the dance floor. We danced and flailed and shook for the next few hours. It only ended because I ended up smacking myself on the ear with my arm and I crumpled onto the floor and began laughing. Pinkie looked worried for a bit until I started laughing, then she laughed too. Then I yawned. “Pinkie, are you sober enough not to fall?” I asked. “Yepperooni.” She answered. “Can you take me back to Fluttershy’s cottage? I’m starting to pass out.” I said. “Okie dokie lokie.” She said as she put my arm around her neck to keep me up. She was slightly taller than Flutters but not by much. She took me to the door and I turned my head back to everyone and said way over the music. “Gotta go! I’m getting’ really, really tired! See ya everybody!” I heard some good byes and some laughs. I giggled as well. We walked for a bit in the slightly cold air. I had a thought then. “Pinkie when’s your birthday?” I asked with a smile on my face. “It’s May third which is sixty-one days from now. I’m going to be turning twenty-three this year.” She said happily. “Awesome, awesome. My birthday is March twenty-eighth and I’ma be twenty-four.” I said giggling. Pinkie gasped loudly. “Ohmygoshyourbirthdayisintwenty-fivedays!” She spouted out a little loudly. “Mhmm.” I managed as I struggled to keep myself awake. A song popped up into my head and I decided to belt them out rather than fall asleep. Pinkie giggled at my drunken antics. When we finally got to the cottage and she got me to the bed she hugged me and went to leave but, before she could do much more than turn around I grabbed her hand. “um… sorry… I… I am… terrified of being alone…” I managed quietly. Pinkie smiled sweetly. “Ok, I’ll stay with you for a while.” She said softly. I laid down on the bed and she sat down on it. After a while I had the urge to pull her down with me and, as I hand no inhibitions to stop me right then, I did so. She gasped a bit as I threw the blanket over her and snuggled her a bit. “Pinkie, you are one of the most selfless people I know. All you want to do is make everyone happy and you will go at great lengths do… to do… so. I adore you.” I said. I felt her heat up a bit as she snuggled into my chest a bit and wrapped her arms around me and muttered. “Thank you.” I felt wetness on my shirt that I assumed to be tears and put my arms around her and pulled her even closer. I nuzzled into her hair and could smell the sweet smell of cupcakes coming from it. I laughed a bit and kissed her on the top of her head. She heated up even more and I drifted off to sleep. A coronation, a new friend and untold rage(edited)A coronation, a new friend and untold rage The next few days were nice, I spent a lot of time with Applejack trying to get rid of my slight compulsion to lie and in return I helped her with some of her chores. We made some real headway on my habit and I didn’t feel the need to lie as much. I also spent a fair amount of time with Fluttershy, while it was a fact that I wasn’t the best with animals, that title belongs to Flutters, I certainly wasn’t bad. However most of my knowledge of animals comes from books not from interactions… as such a small amount of hilarity ensued when Anubis tried to get at a squirrel, the squirrel ran up a tree and Anubis barked at the bottom. I tried calming him down a bit, a lot of good that did me, but, the squirrel jumped from the tree and spread all four of its legs out causing the furry membrane between them to spread out as it glided to the nearest tree. Anubis tried chasing him even further but, alas, he ended up running face first into the tree the squirrel was going to. Flutters immediately ran up to him to see if he was fine, which ended up with her getting a face full of slobber and a happy bark from my dumb dog. Man, I love him. Anyways, I spent some time with Twilight going over some of the magic theory of this world and was a little surprised at the lack of depth… I didn’t, however, voice this to Twilight. I had a lot of random fun with Pinkie… I’m not sure of how… but… we ended up in Las Pegasus for a day and got hammered… somehow Dash showed up… or maybe she was there the whole time… even with the curse of remembrance… I still lost a good six hours there. I picked up the rest of my clothing from Rarity. She said that my outfit for Twilight’s coronation was done but, wouldn’t show it to me that day. She told me that it was going to be surprise. In return I showed her some of my, very few, designs. She liked all of… one she liked one of them… the rest she smiled painfully at. Oh well, no harm no foul. Finally, the day of the coronation came and I saw my outfit… and oh my damn… that thing was awesome! There was a long sleeved, soft-grey, button up shirt, under a vest that was only slightly darker than Twilight’s fur, with a grey and purple tie, a pair of grey slacks with a streak of purple down the outside of each leg and a pair grey formal shoes to finish it off. If I had to say so myself I was feeling pretty sexy. I got approving comments from all my new friends, though, not as approving as I would have liked. Oh well, can’t look a gift horse in the mouth… that line hurt my brain… I waited for the girls to get ready after arriving at Canterlot for a little while but, when they finally came out… hot damn… These girls went from damn sexy to holy mother of gods fucking beautiful! My eyes went wide with shock at how truly beautiful these girls were… I know the show didn’t prepare me for anything compared to this… even though I had seen these dresses before… I hadn’t seen these dresses before… just… damn… Anyways, Twilight’s procession and speech went fine and everything else went really well as well. The after party is where things went a little bit… south… to say the least. I started the party off by talking to Rarity. “I know I already said it but, thank you so much for this. I feel soooooo good in this outfit.” “You are quite welcome and, if I do say so myself, I think you look rather dashing.” She answered. “Thanks. The first step to looking good is feeling good. The next step is looking good… wait… that didn’t… never mind…” I said as I confused myself a bit. Then, I saw Twilight. “I’ll be back later. I’m going to go congratulate Twilight.” I finished, giving Rarity a huge smile, then, walking towards Twilight. I ended up in line for a bit but, it didn’t particularly bother me. It gave me time to think. I got up to her about five minutes later and was greeted with her saying. “Tec, how are you enjoying the party?” She gave me a hug, which I reciprocated. “This party is really fun but, that wasn’t why I came over here.” I paused and gave her my most sincere smile. Princess Celestia came up to us with a smile on her face as well. She looked at us and said to me. “Tec, we have made our decision. You may tell them of your knowledge.” I smiled even more widely and took a deep breath trying to calm myself. “Thank you… um… I haven’t been calling you Princess all this time have I?” I asked. “No, you have addressed neither my sister, Twilight nor me by our titles.” She said, “Why do you ask my little human?” She continued. I shuddered a bit at how she addressed me. “Please don’t call me that ever again… The reason I ask is I do not wish to be rude. Would you like me to address you as such? Or you Twilight?” I answered. They both shook their heads no with smiles. “Great! Thank you Celestia, for allowing me to spread some of the knowledge that I have, I do not think I will say all of it because I think if certain things are to happen they need to happen for certain lessons to be learned.” “Well, I will respect your wishes on the addressing portion and I thank you for your carefulness. Yet, I wonder, why do you not wish to be addressed as such?” Celestia asked. “I…” I started trying to be careful how I worded this, “didn’t have the greatest reputation with authority figures in my world.” Twilight gasped. “You were a criminal!” Twilight said very worriedly. “No… I just was a very… dominate person… I… kind of… didn’t listen very well… among other things…” I answered not too proud of myself. “I don’t like being reminded that there are those above me, in anything really… not that good of a quality to have… Anyways… Thank you Celestia, I will be careful.” Celestia looked at me very oddly, then, smiled and nodded then walked off to speak to more guests. “Now, Twilight, great job on the speech you gave it was very well spoken. Also, good going with the procession itself, all in all a beautiful coronation.” I smiled at her. “Celestiasaidyoucouldshareyourknowledge! Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeoncomeon!” She spouted out excitedly. I chuckled and playfully rolled my eyes. “I guess, if that is what the Princess wants.” I said overdramatically with a smirk. She smirked back. “That is what the Princess wants.” She said playfully. We both laughed and walked to the buffet. “So, first tell me what was so dangerous about this knowledge in the first place?” She asked. “Well… the danger could be completely imagined or not. I have no clue at the moment and will have to learn some more before I know whether or not my knowledge is even relevant. You see, in my world there is something called a TV, do you know what that is? Sorry, I don’t know what the technology level is here in Equestria.” I started. “No… what is it?” She asked. “A TV is pretty much a more portable machine used to view movies, shows and a lot of other things.” I answered. She nodded not quite understanding. “Well, one of those shows was called My little Pony: Friendship is magic.” I stopped for a second as she became really confused then her eyes went wide with shock as she realized what I was saying. “Yep, that’s right it was about you girls. Personally I absolutely loved the show and I am glad you had me in a spell when I first came here. I would have jumped up and pulled a Pinkie Gasp. However, as I said before, I am not sure how much of this show applies, so far the only thing that has been wrong is the time in-between things and your forms.” I finished. “Our forms?” She said quizzically. “Yeah, you were quadrupeds in the show. I would love to stay and chat with you but, I’m kind of pissing the Ponies off behind me.” I answered then, gave her a huge hug. “Talk to you when we get back to Ponyville.” I said as I walked off. I looked around trying to locate either Pinkie or Luna, having not seen the latter at all during this party. I ended up finding Luna first surprisingly enough. “Hello M…” I faked a cough while I caught myself. “Luna. I heard that I have been allowed to speak of what I know, if it even proves relevant.” I said chuckling a bit. “Yes, Tec you have.” She said with a smile. “So, I do have to say that this is a gorgeous evening you created.” I said smiling my best. “And you look rather beautiful as well.” Luna chuckled as well. “Thank you on both comments. You look nice as well.” She stated. I playfully gasped. “Compliments from Royalty, I am so lucky!” I said before snickering just as playfully. “Seriously though, thank you. So, I do have a question. What do you do for fun?” I asked. “Well, I do lots of things, I read tales and poetry, I watch the stars, I look through Tia’s things, I spar…” She started listing. “Wait… hold on what was that last one?” I asked. “I go through Tia’s things.” She said with a smirk. I shook my head. “No, not that… You spar?” I said with my eyes growing wide with excitement and my mouth curving in a gigantic smile. “Why yes…” She started with a bit of enthusiasm that was soon lost, “but, the guards we have do not put up much of a fight.” She smiled mirthlessly. “Well, they haven’t really been in war, recently, so that is understandable.” I said. “Yes, well… that enjoyment has trickled down to only being with Tia.” She said. “You both spar… Oh this is wonderful.” I said, and when I smiled I heard a squee. “I have an idea. Would you like to spar with me?” I asked. “Oh, do you think you can best me?” She asked smirking. “Probably not.” I said shrugging, “but, I have done dumber things than sparing with a really powerful Princess.” I answered. “Like?” She asked. “Um…” I thought, “Well, I threatened a god before.” Her eyes went wide with disbelief. “Though you and your sister are close to Demi-gods so, this is a close second.” I said smiling. “Right… so are you sure?” She asked. “Positive. Rules?” I asked. “Well, I will handicap myself with no magic and no wings. You may use any weapon you wish.” She simply stated. I started smiling playfully but, still obviously deviously. “What?’ “You gave me a huge plus in this. I may not have as big of a plus as you but, I still have one. Shall we go to somewhere, where we may play?” I asked. “I will use a katana, if you have one.” “Yes we shall and yes we do. Follow me.” She said as we made our way through the crowd. She ushered a few guards to us and whispered something to them. They nodded and left quickly. “I have told them to inform the other guards what is happening as well as get you your weapon.” She said. Some ponies had grown a bit of interest in what we were doing and had begun to follow us. “It seems that we are going to have a bit of an audience.” I tittered. She smiled and continued to walk. We ended up in, what would have been, without the audience, a particularly secluded expanse of the castle’s courtyard. I did some stretches before sitting down for some pre-spar meditation. After about a minute or so, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and saw that my sword had been brought. I looked at Luna and saw that she had changed her outfit, via magic and was stretching. I smiled and turned towards the blade behind me, making sure that my actions could not be seen by Luna. “Can you make it so that my knife won’t cut or stab or cause any real damage?” I asked the Unicorn guard in front of me. He nodded and I pulled my trusty blade out and held it out of sight as he cast his spell. I put the knife back in my pocket and grabbed the katana. “Thank you sir.” I said. “With pleasure.” The white Unicorn answered back. Then he made his way back to the crowd. “Hey, Luna. Are you ready?” I asked as I turned around. “Quite.” She answered, two English style short swords in hand. I smiled and readied my blade in front of me with two hands, having had tied the sheath to my waist. Then I thought. “Hey, can you magic me up more suitable sparing clothing for me, no metal armor though.” She nodded and I was soon in padded armor. “Thanks.” I said. I then looked her in the face, my expression completely different than it had been all night. I took a breath and closed my eyes for just a moment, but in that moment I felt a short sword crash down upon my leg causing it to buckle. I quickly opened my eyes and took an upwards slash, more to get her to back off than anything. Surprisingly, it almost got her. I stood up, albeit shakily. “Yep, definitely the second dumbest thing I’ve done. Oh well, no take backs.” I spoke to myself then I smiled, took another breath and quickly brought myself forward. I brought my sword down and while she blocked that I took my knife out and quickly brought it up to her throat. She noticed it last minute and blocked it. I smiled with both of my weapons out. Then suddenly sheathed my sword and put my knife away. Luna raised an eyebrow. “Are you standing down?” She asked confused. “Nope.” I answered simply. Thinking I was an easy target with my weapons sheathed she came at me with abandon. I smiled even wider and quickly pulled past her while slamming my quickly unsheathed blade into her stomach and sheathing it just as quickly. I quickly turned around and pulled myself into a more suitable stance. Luna was bent over coughing. I pulled myself up behind her and pulled out my knife. I put the blade against her throat and said. “Do you yield?” She started laughing a bit between coughing and I soon found myself on the ground with my weapons out of reach and swords pressed against my throat. “No. Do you yield?” She questioned. I laughed heartily. “I yield, I yield.” I said happy that I had gotten as far as I did. “You are a fantastic fighter but, I can see that dexterity is more your cup of tea.” I continued as she helped me up. “What does tea have to do with fighting or dexterity?” She asked highly confusedly. “It’s a figure of speech. It means that you prefer using dexterity rather than strength in a fight.” I answered as I handed the katana back to the unicorn that gave it to me and had him remove the spell on my knife, after which I pocketed it. “Luna, I have to say. That was rather enjoyable, even if I did get my ass handed to me.” I said, turning towards her once more. “I did not hand you a donkey?” She stated confused once more. “It’s another figure of speech. It means that you beat me quite badly.” I answered. She nodded and chuckled. “Now, I do have to apologize but, I should go back inside. We should do this again sometime in the near future.” I said. “Also, would you mind turning my clothing back?” “Yes we should.” She said answering my first statement. “Also, I do not mind it no.” she finished as she nodded and her magic coated my clothing once more, changing it back to what it was. I smiled and offered her a hug. She stared at me for a moment not understanding. I giggled a bit and pulled her into a hug, getting a scoff from several around me. At first it didn’t register in her head what was happening but, soon she smiled and wrapped her arms around me, returning my hug. We parted and I resisted the urge to kiss her cheek. I walked back into the party and was immediately barraged by a Pink blur. “Tec!Howareyoudoing?Thisisawonderfulparty.Don’tyouthinksotoo?” Pinkie spouted out quickly. I laughed at her antics and answered. “Hey Pinkie. I’m doing fine and yes this party is really good.” I pulled her into a hug that she readily returned. “So, um… wanna know how I knew your song and what other songs I know?” I asked, my mind wandering back to the excitement of being able to share my knowledge. Pinkie gasped. “You can tell us?!” I nodded my head. “Oh, yesyesyesyes!” She continued. “Um… I heard your songs from a TV show called My little Pony: Friendship is magic. It was one of my favorite forms of entertainment and… my favorite character…” I began to blush madly then I cleared my throat… “um… my favorite character was named Pinkie Pie…” “Wow! That’s my name!” She said smiling… as I realized she didn’t get it… “Um… the show was about you and the girls… and… you… you were my favorite character…” I said quietly, suddenly not wanting to talk so much about this. Pinkie jumped up and gasped. “You mean… you knew us before we knew you! You watched us do stuff?! You watched us party! I’m your favorite?!” She spouted out quickly. “um… yeah…” I said quietly as I started to deflate and become duller, “I think I sh…” I started. “That is soooo cool! You must really like parties if I was your favorite!” I quickly inflated as my color returned. “Yeah… I do like parties… but… um… that… that wasn’t the reason you were my favorite…” I continued in a bit of shock. “Then why me…” she countered, I could see that she was shocked by this. “Well… truthfully… I think you, while not the most generous, are the most selfless person I have ever seen.” Confusion played out on her face. “You do your best to make everyone smile. In fact you’re happiest when all of your friends are smiling. Also, watching you on the show helped me to find my smile when I was contemplating ending myself…” I said the last part very softly while looking at the ground. Pinkies eyes grew wide and she started to tear up. She pulled me into the most endearing hug I have ever had the pleasure of having which I reciprocated. “Hey Tec. Hey Pinkie. What’s up?” We heard Rainbow Dash ask. Pinkie pulled away from the hug and, with tears still threatening to spill, gave me the most beautiful smile I have ever seen then kissed my cheek. My eyes went wide as saucers and my hand went up to my cheek. She looked to Dash and wiped her tears away, sniffling a bit. “I just learned that I made Tec smile even before he came to Equestria.” She said in a semi quiet voice before she walked off, seemingly in a happy daze. “Ok… what was that all about?” Dash asked me. I slowly brought my hand down and looked at Rainbow. “I… I… I jus… just told her…th… that…” I paused and took a deep calming breath and explained to Dash what I did to Pinkie. She seemed to be speechless for a moment. “Well… at least I understand why she did that…” She stated shocked. “Wait… what the hay! I actually understood Pinkie!” She chuckled a bit. “I guess some things are the same between mares no matter what.” She continued giggling. “Wha…?” I asked. “You’ll see.” She smirked and raced off. “Well, that was weird.” I said as I turned around and began walking around. “Hmm… you’re a rather strange creature.” A male voice stated. A bit confused I turned towards him. He seemed to be a brownish-grey pony with a black mane and a red tail he had his hand under his chin, stroking his long white beard in thought. I stared at him trying to think of who this pony was. He seemed familiar. Then I saw his eyes, yellow iris with a red pupil. I smiled. “Coming from you, Discord, that might be a compliment.” I snickered as his mouth dropped in shock. “What, has Fluttershy not told you about me?” I asked. He tensed up and his eyes narrowed to pinpricks as he held himself in an angry pose. “No.” Was all he said. I could feel his anger but, underneath that, I could feel the purpose for his anger. …hmm… looks like my empathic abilities are growing stronger… I thought. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt her and I am not trying to court her.” I said smiling. All of his anger disappeared and was replaced by fear and confusion. “Yes I know that you have fallen for her and no I can’t read thoughts. I am just good a picking up emotions.” I stated. The fear, while still there lessened a bit. The confusion was still just as strong. “How did you know who I was though?” He asked. “Your eyes and beard give you away, mostly your eyes though. You are the only being I have seen in this world that has yellow eyes with red pupils.” I answered. I smiled hugely. “You wanna know a bit of what I know?” I asked with a huge smile. He nodded hesitantly. “Come see me at Fluttershy’s cottage in a few days. There are some things that I have to explain and some things that I want to know. Just so you know I think that you are really cool and would love to be your friend, if you would have me as one.” I said, my smile growing. “Wait… you think I’m… cool… and want to be my friend?” I nodded my head happily. “Why?” “Firstly, I myself am highly chaotic and love to trip people up. Secondly, I understand that chaos is a necessity in life. Perfection,” I spat out the last word like it was a piece of rotten food, “is utterly and completely boring. Perfect harmony,” I continued, “leads, ultimately, to stagnation and later on destruction.” I paused for a moment. “I want to be your friend because you are a cool person and I want to get to know you.” I finished. He stared at me wide eyed before a huge grin plastered itself to his face. “You, my new friend, are bucking brilliant. I could just kiss you. In fact I think I will.” He moved in to fake a kiss. I smiled evilly causing him to pause. In that moment, I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him towards me, giving him a very intimate kiss. He didn’t struggle for a little while, still recovering from the shock, but, once he started to I let go and pulled back laughing. “Don’t try to prank me like that. Next time I think I’ll slip in a bit of tongue.” I said still laughing. His eyes were wide with shock for a while until he too began to laugh heartily. “I see you have made a new friend.” I heard Celestia say from behind me, a slight chuckle in her voice. “Oh, yes and this one, I believe, will be exquisitely amusing.” Discord stated. “Oh?” Celestia stated quizzically. “Yep, someone has to keep old Dissy here on his toes.” I said laughing. “Tec, I think…” Celestia started before I interrupted her by putting a finger up and hushing her with a very serious face. I listened for a bit trying to pinpoint the rage and fear I was feeling. “…ou bucking skank. How dare you treat a prince like you did.” I heard a voice I recognized as prince Bluebloods. My face contorted into a slight grimace. “Buck you, you miserable…” I heard a female voice, that I soon realized was Rarity’s, start before I heard a loud smack. My face contorted further as rage filled my being. “Excuse me for a moment I have to go do something.” I said in as calm a voice as I could muster. Celestia and Discord noticed my rage. “What do you have to go do?” Discord asked. “Take out the trash.” I answered in an almost growl. I made my way towards the sound of crying the crowd moving out of my way once they got a good look at my face. I finally got to them after my small walk. My rage had only grown but, I still managed to keep a modicum amount of control. “Hey your royal dick facedness! Did you just fucking hit her?” I said to the white unicorn. He was a few inches taller than me but, I didn’t give a shit. “Why would I have to answer to you peasant.” He mocked. My control cracked a bit. “BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T I AM GOING TO TEAR YOUR FUCKING HORN OFF AND RAM IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!!” I shouted in the Royal Whee. He seemed slightly startled but, his pride kept him from showing much. “You dare threaten a prince. I could have you imprisoned for treason!” He said angrily. “Firstly, yes I dare threaten a prince. Secondly, I don’t give a shit! No one, and I mean NO ONE gets away with harming my friends. Thirdly, how dare you even claim to be a prince, you are just a royal dick!” I continued in the Royal Whee, while lessening the volume a bit. His face contorted with rage and he slapped me with quite a bit of force. I could feel my heart beat slamming in my chest as the last bit of control I had shattered. For a while my rage just built. He stood there with a smug expression on his face as I stood there silently shaking. He mistook the shaking for fear. “What happened, coward, I thought no one, and I mean no one, got away with hurting your friends. You and this cunt should just leave before my mercy runs out.” He mocked. I clenched my fist and brought my eyes up to look at him. Just as our eyes met all of the windows in the room burst outwards. My hand slammed forward as I gripped his throat. I began to lift him off of the ground in my rage. I wanted him to die. I wanted to incinerate his body until there was nothing left. He let out a strangled scream as steam came off of his throat where my fingers were digging in. I let out a feral growl and brought him closer so that my mouth was next to his ear. “Do you want to find out why humans are the number one predators, meat?” I said quietly and harshly. I heard a collective gasp behind me and turned my head to see who it was. Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Discord all had looks of disbelief and fear in their eyes. Pinkie though… Pinkie had tears streaming down her face. In that moment I regained my control and dropped the, now, unconscious stallion. I muttered, “I’m sorry.” Tears broke loose from my face as I turned and ran as fast as I could. I ran without looking and soon found myself hopelessly lost in a hedge maze. I sat down against a hedge wall and bawled. “Great… just fucking great! I fucking lost it! I just couldn’t control my anger could I!” I berated myself. A song started up in my head that normally popped up when I was hating on myself. I started to sing. “I had to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head They crawled in like a cockroach leaving babies on my bead Dropping little reals of tape, to remind me that I’m alone Playing movies in my head that make a…” I stopped singing because for some odd reason singing that song didn’t seem like the right thing to do. I was slightly confused. Another song popped up. “When the days are cold and the cards all fold and the saints we see are all made of gold When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail are the worst, of all and the blood’s run stale” Pinkie moved into the small clearing I was in. I continued like nothing happened without skipping a beat. “I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you but with the beast inside there’s nowhere we can hide No matter what we breed we still are made of greed this is my kingdom come this my kingdom come” I could hear the music all around me and I could feel the magic. “When you feel my heat look into my eyes it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide Don’t get to close it’s dark inside it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide” Pinkies beautiful voice came in to the mix as she sang the next line as my voice started to fade out like it was planned. “Curtain’s call is the last of all when the lights fade out all the sinners crawl So they dug your grave and the masquerade will come calling out at the mess you made.” She faded out as I picked it up. “Don’t wanna let you down but I am hell bound though this all for you don’t wanna hide the truth” We sang together. “No matter what we breed we still are made of greed.” She faded out. “This is my kingdom come this is my kingdom come When you feel my heat look into my eyes it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide Don’t get to close it’s dark inside it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide They say it’s what you make I say it’s up to fate it’s woven in my soul I need to let you go Your eyes they shine so bright I wanna save that light I can’t escape this now! unless you show me how! When you feel my heat look into my eyes it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide Don’t get to close it’s dark inside it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide.” My voice echoed a bit at the end as the music faded out. At some point in time during the song Pinkie and I had gotten really close I stood staring into her magnificent cerulean orbs as tears silently streamed down my face. “I’m so sorry… I… I’m sorry…” I choked out. She stared at me silently, her cheeks stained with dry tears. Then, she pulled me into a warm hug and said quietly. “It’ll be ok. I… I forgive you.” She said. I wrapped her in a solid hug of my own as the rest of my friends walked in and surrounded me a group hug. Happy tears streamed down my face as I smiled gratefully. “Tec… I think we all forgive you.” Celestia said from the edge of the clearing. “Yes. While harsh and frightening, you were trying to protect a friend and that in and of its self is admirable.” Luna stated from next to her sister. I chuckled softly as I motioned for them to join in the hug. They smiled and joined in. I could feel a presence behind me. “Come on Discord you’re my friend too.” I said quietly. I heard him chuckle as he joined the hug. When it ended, some five minutes later, I looked at Celestia and Luna. “So… what is going to happen now?” I asked. “Truthfully… we don’t know.” Celestia said quietly as she let one single tear fall from her face. Tec and Confinement(edited)Confinement and me Unfortunately for me, just because I was forgiven… doesn’t mean that all was well. I still assaulted a member of the royal family, in the middle of one of the biggest, if not the biggest, events in recent history. Thus, I was in Canterlot for a couple days after my little outburst… A knock sounded from the door just as I finished packing away the last of my meager possessions. “Come in.” I said, still bent over my small pack. The door opened and I felt a tinge of worry come from whoever walked in. I turned to tell the pony that I wasn’t going to hurt them but, stopped short upon seeing Celestia with a false smile on her face. Why is she worried? I thought that everything… no I guess it wouldn’t be that easy even in a land of magical ponies with big hearts… I thought. “Please… lose the fake smile…” I managed as I deflated. Her smile instantly disappeared and was replaced with a look of shock. “How… how did you see through me?” She asked genuinely confused. I pointed towards my head and answered quietly. “Back on my world I was what some would call an empath. I can actually feel small twinges of emotions from others. Although since coming to Equestria my sensitivity seems to have increased tenfold.” The joy I normally felt at explaining something was completely gone at this point as I stared at my feet. She seemed to understand what I meant. Then, it dawned on her why I became sad. “Oh no, Tec I wasn’t worried about what you would do. I was worried about you. Unfortunately, because of what happened last night some of the nobles are rallying around Blueblood and are demanding that you be punished.” She explained. I inflated a bit, happy that she didn’t fear me, but not happy that I was going to be punished. “So, what will it be?” I asked sadly. “Banishment? Execution? Something worse?” I continued. “What? Why would… You know, you worry just as much as Twilight does. No, you will be staying here in Canterlot for observation and you will be answering some questions. However you will be confined to this room the entire time you are here.” She said in her normal motherly tone. I could no longer tell if what she was showing was entirely truthful as she had put up mental blocks. “Ok… So, what are you here for the questioning?” I asked as my mood improved a bit more. “Yes. Though, we will have to have somepony in here with us.” She answered. “Well, let ‘em in then.” I stated. “Ok, thank you for understanding.” She said softly as she went to the door and opened it to reveal a dark grey unicorn stallion with a black mane and hazel eyes. He walked in and sat down on a chair near the door. He stayed silent and closed his eyes as his horn lit up with a dull green light. Celestia took a breath and turned towards me. “Tec. What happened last night?” She started. I closed my eyes and did my best to remember my rage induced violence. I explained to them what came to mind and further explained that after I got hit I lost control and my vision narrowed and all I was paying attention to was Blueblood. She nodded and looked over to the grey stallion and he nodded his head. She walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. After we parted she said, “We will have to go over some things now, the fact that you didn’t lie will benefit you in the long run. I will see you in a little while after I take care of Day Court.” “See ya, Celestia.” I said as she and the unicorn left. Execution by boredom then… Gods this is going to suck… I thought to myself. 3rd Person He doesn’t seem to remember that he burnt Blueblood or that the windows exploded when his magical energy spiked. Not to mention the difference in power during that spike… where did he get that much magic… Did he always have it and choose to hide it… or… something else… He didn’t seem to even know… He just suddenly jumped from nearly nothing, far less than even an earth pony… to the level of an average unicorn… with absolutely no control… Should I bring this to his attention… or risk it… and keep quiet… Celestia thought to herself as she walked towards the throne room. Meanwhile back in her Canterlot Loft Library Twilight and Spike were busy unpacking some things that they had gotten on a quick trip back to Ponyville. “Come on Twilight, do we really need to stay here. It’s so far from Ra…” He coughed in the middle of his sentence to cover up what he was about to say, “our friends. Also, what if someone wants to check out a book and we aren’t there to get it to them.” “Spike…” She started, “If you want you can go back to the library and ask if Rarity would like your help. I, on the other hoof, need to stay here.” Spike looked at her excitedly and nodded his head in affirmation. She charged up a powerful teleportation as she focused on her Golden Oaks Library and let the magic free. They appeared in the middle of the Library and Spike immediately ran off to get Twilight a glass of water, as this level of spell was a bit of a drain on her magic supply. She panted as she waited for him to return. He came back with the glass in hand, which she drank down greedily. She took a deep breath, charged her spell again and appeared back in her Canterlot loft. A tired sigh came from her as she thought aloud and made her way to her bed, “Well, he’s not going anywhere for some time and I don’t have anything else to do today. A nap couldn’t hurt.” She fell into it and passed out the second her head touched her pillow. 1st Person I have been in here with nothing to do for five fucking hours. I thought poisonously as my stare bore holes in the clock trying to will time to speed up. I had asked the guards if one of them could get me a book and both had simply looked forward stoically like statues and, to be honest, after watching them for a while it unnerved me. I closed the door and laid down to try to take a nap to pass the time, to no avail. After almost an hour I stopped trying and began to look around at the room taking in all of the details. After the fifth time my gaze passed over of the entire room I looked at the clock and was flabbergasted. All my observations took me a good… half an hour… half of a fucking hour. At this point I was so bored I, half-jokingly, thought that maybe suicide was a better option than this boring hell. I tried to create a story in my head that I could enact to pass the time but, the boredom had already corrupted the creative center in my brain and I came up blank. Suffice it to say, three and a half hours later… I was not happy… in fact one could even call my mood caustic. I paced around the room and grumbled to myself as I tried to find something to do. My mood soured further as I heard a knock on the door. That’s just fucking perfect. Let’s go ask the pissed off prisoner some dumb questions and see what happens and while we’re at it lets poke him with a stick. I thought condescendingly. “Open.” I griped. In walked a smiling Twilight. Whether or not she noticed my mood getting worse was irrelevant but, I wager that she didn’t. “So you stayed behind. Spike here with you?” I managed in as calm a voice I could muster, which just made me sound empty. “No. He decided to stay and help Rarity in Ponyville.” She answered while looking at a scroll in her hands. “Ok. I have a lot of questions to ask.” She squeed in delight. “If you don’t mind, I would pref…” I started but was cut off by Twilight’s rambling. “Oh, the things we can talk about!” She closed her eyes and bounced from hoof to hoof. “I really don…” I was cut off once more and my sour mood just turned worse. “Like how you…” I cut her off by screaming. “TWILIGHT!” Her face was one of shock. My horrid mood made me want to play off the thing that would get her to leave and my face contorted to a frown. “I don’t think I can learn much, if anything, from you. Your understanding of things is mostly shallow. Even your understanding of your own destiny is meager.” The shocked look on her face changed to one of hurt, then one of anger. I immediately knew that I had fucked up but, I couldn’t bring myself to care. “My understanding is shallow! You didn’t seem to think that when we were conversing before!” She screamed back. “I was sparing your feelings.” I said as I slowly felt myself falling into an emotionless state. My hair deflated, my colors dulled and my face became impassive. “Oh, so I guess you were sparing my feelings when you said you wanted to be my friend then!” She retorted as she slapped me and one lone tear fell down her cheek. I felt the slightest pinch of guilt at that point as my emotionless façade slowly began to crumble. “No… I wasn’t. I really did want to be your friend.” I answered. “Well, THIS isn’t how friends behave.” She stated back her voice tinged with anger and pain. I looked down to the ground as what I did came back to me. “Well, now you know why I didn’t have any friends back where I am from. My anger is a problem and it splashes onto everybody.” I said slowly. “I’m sorry… I know that what I said was horrible and wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t forgive me. If it makes you feel any better, I actually think that you are probably more knowledgeable than me for the most part.” I finished as I turned towards the bed. “Throughout my lessons of friendship my friends and I have made many mistakes but, friends forgive each other. Now, why were you so angry?” She said. “Um… it’s… the reason is stupid.” I answered. “No reason is stupid. Come on tell me.” She tried to coax the answer out “This reason is hardly even a reason.” I retorted. “Come on.” She tried again. “Ok… Ok… it is still stupid though. I was… bored… my boredom pissed me off.” I answered. “Um… so… it had nothing to do with me?” She said slightly confused. “My boredom made me want to be antisocial… I kind of get that way when I am reading a book as well… Just not as angry as quickly… that only happens when I am repeatedly interrupted…” I confessed as a blush made its way across my cheeks. “Well… I guess I can sort of understand that…” She said clearly not quite understanding. “Don’t worry too much about it. I realize that it’s stupid. I wasn’t kidding when I said I didn’t have many friends before. I kind of pushed people away.” I answered, obviously not proud of my previous habits. “Well, just be careful. Um… sorry for slapping you.” She said after thinking a bit. “Don’t worry about it. I was being a dick and deserved it.” I stated. “So, um… you said you had questions and things you wished to talk about?” I reminded her. “Hm… OH Yes! How did y…” She started before a knock on the door interrupted her. “Sorry, one second.” I apologized to Twilight. “Yes, come in.” I directed towards the door. The door opened to reveal Celestia and Luna’s smiling faces. I could feel no ambient emotion and decided to challenge myself a bit to see exactly how strong my sensitivity had grown. As I focused on the three Alicorn mares in front of me I could feel Twilight’s slight frustration at being interrupted once more that was tinged with conflicted feelings but, that was overwhelmed by her happiness at seeing her former teacher and her friends. I could feel a slight amount of distrust, like she didn’t believe something that she had said, from Luna towards Celestia. Whilst I still felt nothing from the blocked off Celestia. “Firstly Twilight, it’s ok to feel frustrated with someone you really respect, even if it is Celestia and Luna.” Twilight’s face contorted cutely with confusion, while Luna looked at me blankly and Celestia’s grin grew. I put two and two and two together and figured out what Celestia had told her that Luna didn’t believe. “Yes Luna I can feel others emotions. I have a feeling that Celestia tried to tell you about it and you didn’t believe her.” It was more of a statement than a question. “Yes. She did and no I didn’t. How did you come across this ability?” Luna asked suspiciously. “Don’t know when I really figured out that I had it. My guess would be that it is just something I was born with.” I answered. “Well then, is this ability widespread where you are from?” She asked, her doubt still hanging on every word. “Not really sure about that one either. My mom was one of the only other people I knew that had it. So… probably not.” I answered to the best of my ability. “So wait, is it hereditary?” Twilight interjected as her inner scholar reared its head. “Possibly… it was a bit harder to trace that kind of thing back on my world.” I answered her. Luna lost some of her suspicious gaze. “While this is all very interesting, we actually came here to tell you that we calmed the nobles down.” Celestia interrupted. My eyes widened and my hair puffed out once more returning to its normal color as a smile nearly split my face in twain. “So, it all blew over and I can leave!” I said as I began to bounce in place a bit. “Unfortunately, no, you are still to stay here for a couple days for observation.” Celestia stated. I immediately stopped bouncing and sighed I did not, however, deflate. “Can you at least allow me some books or something then? I was bored out of my mind in here and… I kind of do stupid stuff when I get bored… like…” My voice trailed off as I looked at Twilight with a sad look in my eyes. I subsequently sagged with depression. Celestia and Luna looked at me with a tinge of confusion. “I’m sorry…” Was all I quietly said before I turned away from them and flopped onto the bed face down and began to silently berate myself. “I guess we will leave for now.” Luna stated before I heard the door open for a bit then close. Well, I can’t say that I am to surprised that Luna figured out my need for alone time before anypony else… Wait… did I just think anypony… Eeyup… Well then… I thought to myself before slowly drifting off to sleep. Hey, Tec… are you listening? I heard a very feminine voice say from all around me as I floated in the empty darkness. Gidget? So… now you can actually talk to me in dreams… Wow you gained more presence than I thought. I said without looking around. More than you could possibly know... Gidget’s voice answered. Wait… if you’re gaining presence… has it finally come for me to cease? I asked quietly, dreading the possibilities. No… I don’t think so… We need to think about this some more… She said slowly as if she was, indeed, thinking. A bright light shone through the darkness as I began to wake. Don’t forget! I repeated several times as consciousness took hold. Light streamed through the window reminding me that I forgot to close the curtain the night before. I groaned unhappily and slowly made my way over to the window to shut the curtain. Something struck me as I drew the curtain closed, I had something that I was supposed to remember… but, I couldn’t think of what it could be… Eh… if it’s truly important I’ll remember it later. I thought to myself. I heard a light knock on the door. I yawned a bit and stretched. I felt way better than I did last night, sleep always made me feel better. There was another knock on the door, this time seeming a bit impatient. “Come in.” I said slightly confused. The door opened up to reveal that Twilight was my visitor this morning. She looked slightly annoyed and was wearing a purple, silk nightie… and I could tell that she didn’t have a bra on… My face became very red, very quickly as I began to examine the wall to my left that had suddenly become very interesting. “You sleep very hard you know that…” She said. “All guys do…” I retorted quietly. “What?” She asked. I fake coughed and shook my head. “Nothing. Now what is it you need?” I asked as I brought my eyes to look at her and made it a point to stare directly into her eyes. “Ooookayy… Anyways… I came to ask you what kind of books you would like.” She answered with a shrug. Before you got dressed? I thought before answering. “Anything with romance or anything on magic.” Twilight’s face contorted into a huge grin at the mention of literature on magic her horn glowed as she charged up a spell bright light filled the room just as I closed my eyes. I kept them closed for a few moments as I waited for what, I don’t even know. I opened them when nothing happened and low and behold that is when the room filled up with the magical light of Twilight’s teleportation spell. I blinked, waiting for my vision to return. When it finally returned I was staring directly into the eyes of a wildly smiling Twilight who had gotten extremely close. Needless to say I jumped… well… more like screamed and fell on my ass but, that’s just semantics. On my way back to my feet I saw that Twilight still had yet to get dressed but, had brought a large menagerie of books with her, all floating in her magic. Should I let her know that she’s not dressed or should I just sit back and enjoy it? I thought. I think I’ll just… no I can’t… maybe just a moment more though… My thoughts continued. I watched her for a while as she began to sort out all the books. “… udging by our previous conversations I didn’t think you would need some of the basics but, I still brought them because it never hurts to brush up on things.” I heard her state as I realized she was speaking. “Wait… are you staying here with me?” I asked as she bent over to sort some books and ended up distracting me with her lavender flank and answering two questions I had, whether or not they had cutie marks and if she was wearing anything under her nightie. Yes and… kinda… I thought. Plain white panties… kinda count… my semi-lewd thoughts continued. “Yes. I thought you might want some company.” She stated without turning around. “Oh… Well, thank you.” My face grew red at what I was about to admit. “You might want to get dressed… I can… um… see your panties…” “WHAT?!” Twilight screeched as her face turned six different shades of red in about two point eight seconds. The room filled once more with the bright light of her teleportation. I’m not much of an ass man… but… damn that mare has a nice flank… I thought as I waited for her to return. I walked over and picked up one of the books that were part of the basics and sat down to read. Around two hours later I had gone through three of the smaller books decided two weren’t needed and was half way through the one I had in my hands. The room flashed once more as Twilight entered again. “Feeling better now?” I asked without looking away from the book. “Much. Now, how far have you gotten in that book?” She asked. I took a moment to read the last page of the chapter I was on. “I am on chapter thirteen in this one. I read Your Magic and You, So you want to cast spells and Magicians Codex. I skimmed over Your First Spell and Know Your Limits.” I said as I turned the page. There was a bit of silence before I heard a squee. “So, what book are you reading right now?” She asked. “I picked up one from the second pile called, Crystals and Gemstones. I am quickly finding that this book is lacking in some details though but, whatever. I can experiment to see if certain things that apply from where I am from, apply in this world.” I said as I closed the book and set it down on my ‘finished pile’. I looked at her and smiled. “So, what questions do you have?” I asked. Her eyes were wide for a while before shaking her head and taking a breath. “Well, I know you aren’t a beginner… what grade would you be at though?” She asked herself. “Not that it would help much but, where I am from certain groups separated it out into degrees. First, you have initiate or seeker. Next you have first degree, which works with the basics, such as tools, holidays, how to work with spells, etc. Then you have second degree, which denotes when you start trying to teach others, with guidance. Past that is third degree and clergy. Now I will be the first to admit that I haven’t actually had much formal training but, last time I was ‘evaluated’ I was set at between mid-second degree and high second degree. I can teach with some of the things that I know. Hell, several years ago I was going to teach two students, on my own, but, they decided that they didn’t want me as a teacher before I even began teaching them.” I answered. She looked at me while her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, reminding me of a fish. “Twilight?” I said trying to get her attention. “I… um… I’ll be right back…” She managed as she teleported out of the room. I shrugged and went back to reading. 3rd Person I have to get to Celestia… She needs to know this… Twilight thought to herself as she walked towards the throne room. Many of the guards and servants of the castle bowed their heads as she walked by but, she didn’t notice. She was a mare on a mission. Celestia was in the middle of day court listening to a farmer from the outskirts of Fillydelphia and the owner of a chain of confectioneries, argue over property rights. “That land has been in my family for generations. I would no more relinquish it than I would give up my left hoof!” The farmer, Belle Sprout stated to Celestia. “You have no documents to prove such a claim! Princess Celestia please, listen to reason. I went to the mayor of Fillydelphia and bought the land that this mare stubbornly won’t leave.” The business mare, Cherry Cheesecake, pleaded. Suddenly the doors burst open and Twilight walked in with a look of confusion and wonder plastered on her face. “This case will be held until a later date. You both have two days to bring forth the documentation necessary.” Celestia stated to the two. Cherry Cheesecake seemed to be slightly annoyed by this but, chose not to say anything, while, Belle Sprout seemed to be awash with relief. They bowed and left through the gigantic double doors. Celestia turned to Twilight. “Twilight, my dear, what seems to be the matter?” She asked her in a caring tone. “Tec…” At this Celestia’s heartbeat quickened a bit her mind going directly to the worst possibility, “He… he says that he was to be a teacher of magic… in his old world…” Twilight finally said with a smile plastered to her face. “He said that our advanced book on gemstones and crystals might be missing some information but, he needs to test if some of the same things apply in this world that applied in his. OH Celestia! I have never met somepony who was as interested in magic as he is! I mean, I’ve had discussions with him about it before but… at that point in time he was mostly silent and would only ask questions here and there! I didn’t know he knew that much!” Celestia raised an eyebrow in contemplation and thought for a moment, but… his energy… it’s so… small normally… but there still was that spike… “It seems that I need to speak with him.” Celestia stated as she made her decision. She charged her teleportation spell as Twilight did the same. 1st Person Twilight had been gone for about five minutes before I began to get bored once more and started reading again. I picked up a book that I had heard of before coming here, Super Naturals, and chuckled, remembering the episode. As I read through it I committed a few recipes that seemed like they could be useful, a basic healing salve, a burn salve and a bathing mix designed to cure rashes, down onto some paper that Twilight had brought with her. I felt lucky at this point in time that I had learned how to write with a quill before now. I chuckled as I remembered how difficult it was my first try and how utterly horrid it looked… well, it still looked kind of bad… but, hey at least it was legible… I still had issues writing strait across the page without the guide of lines. Yep… all of the words kind of slope down the page at an angle… I thought while looking at the final product. The bright light of a teleportation spell shone from behind me. I was about to ask Twilight why she had left when a second light shone brightly, effectively cutting me off. I turned around and saw that both Twilight and Celestia had come. “Ok… Day Court should be going on right now… so… To what do I owe the pleasure of your company Celestia?” I asked curiously. “Twilight has told me that you know quite a bit about magic. That you were going to be a teacher in your old world?” She said quizzically. I raised an eyebrow and looked to Twilight and back to Celestia. “Yes. I know a good bit about magic. Well, magic from my world at least and yes, I was going to have students, two to be exact, several years ago. They decided that they didn’t wish to learn from me though. I haven’t tried to give lessons, save for some advice here and there, since.” I answered wondering where this was going. I gave trying to sense Celestia’s emotions another shot. I could feel the excitement practically radiating off of Twilight but, once again found myself unable to tap into what Celestia was feeling. “How can you use magic with so little energy though?” Celestia asked her face seemed genuinely curious but, I still felt that there was something more to this. I chuckled a bit and took a deep breath. I stopped the flow of magical energy going out of my body and immediately felt my stockpile start to grow. Celestia showed no reaction for a while. I smirked and took another deep breath and focused on pulling in energy as well as increasing the production inside me. I felt it skyrocket. Celestia’s calm demeanor cracked a bit but did not break. I took another deep breath and closed my eyes focusing entirely upon the magic inside me and began multiplying the energy. I opened my eyes and saw that both of the Alicorn mares in front of me had looks of astonishment. Then there jaws dropped. A bit confused about their last reaction I cocked an eyebrow and asked. “What?” Celestia and Twilight just blinked for a while before Twilight pointed towards her eyes. This confused me even further. “What, your eyes?” I asked. “No… your eyes… they’re glowing.” Twilight stated slowly. “Wait… What!?” I exclaimed just before I expunged the energy in me. “How… how can you control all the energy in you when you’re overcharged…” Twilight asked. “Overcharged?” I asked. “Yes, the point in which you have focused nearly all of your magic into your… well you don’t have one… but, it happens when a unicorn, or Alicorn focuses almost all of their magic into their horn.” Celestia explained. “How are you not tired after that?” Suffice it to say I wasn’t following her train of thought very well. “Well color me confused… I’m not tired because, while my eyes wouldn’t normally light up, I was just doing a basic energy gathering practice. I didn’t use a spell or anything, not that, that would normally tire me out too badly. Then I just gave the energy back that I had drawn into me.” I answered. Both of their jaws dropped once more. “What?” “You took energy from around you!?” Celestia said slightly panicked, her calm demeanor utterly shattered at this point. “Well yeah…” I answered baffled by her response. “Oh no… oh no, oh no… This can’t be happening…” Twilight began. “Unfortunately it has too…” Celestia began. “What?” I asked, becoming a bit worried. “You are too dangerous to allow you to interact with Equestria… You must leave… or I will have to make you leave…” Celestia said in a low voice that seemed less threatening and more, just, sad. “WHAT?!” I exclaimed. “I would understand if my anger had caused this but, this, really something that anyone can do. Fuckin’ really!” I continued. They stopped momentarily, confused by my words. “What do you mean… something anyone can do?” Celestia asked with a bewildered expression on her face. “I meant exactly what I said. Anyone can do it, any unicorn, any pegasus, any earth pony, any Alicorn, any anything can do it and does do it every day. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day you are doing exactly what I was doing, just subconsciously. If you didn’t you would die.” I answered, absolutely flabbergasted. They looked at each other and back to me. I calmed myself down a bit. “Look, do you know the scientific properties of energy?” I asked. “Yes, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is…” Twilight began, suddenly becoming happy. I cut her off though. “That is the only property that is needed to understand what I am going to tell you. All I did was convert the potential energy around me and inside me into magical energy.” They both looked at me blinking momentarily. Finally a look of realization crosses their faces. “So you didn’t take the magical energy from around you at all?” Celestia asked. “Nope.” I answer. “Meaning doing what you did wouldn’t hurt anypony?” Twilight continued. “Eeyup.” I answered. They both sigh in relief. “Well… now that this has come up. Why did you burn Blueblood?” Celestia asked. “Wait… What now?” I asked. “You burned Prince Blueblood on his neck.” Celestia said. “Well, that is unusual… I will have to do some tests to figure out…” I facepalm as I figure out what has happened. “The magic in this world… I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out… The sheer difference in the viscosity of the magic in this world versus where I’m from, I mean come on, the fact that even the air tastes different should have told me that!” I rambled off while pacing. “Anyways, to answer your question, it is because I lost control. I will have to try much, much harder to keep in control from now on, seeming as how my rage has become a quite bit more dangerous. Luckily, I have to actually focus to build up energy that quickly.” I say, turning my gaze back to Celestia. Then I feel a sudden pulse inside me. My face contorts in confusion. “What?” I hear Twilight ask just before the world goes dark. 3rd Person “What?” Twilight asks when Tec’s face suddenly becomes that of extreme confusion. Then, just as suddenly his face and body seem to tense up and he lets out a blood curdling scream that chilled both the Alicorn mares to the bone. His legs gave out and he dropped to the ground. He stared at them blankly as his face and body begin to twitch and draw further into himself. He blew raspberries and ended up with drool all over him. Twilight and Celestia noticed that his drool was tinted red. Finally it clicked in their heads what was happening as the seizure ended just as suddenly as it began. “Twilight, begin asking him basic questions about you, your friends and himself. I will go and get a doctor.” Celestia said before teleporting away. Twilight did just that. 1st Person “Who am I?” I heard a female voice asking as my vision started to clear up a bit. My memory was still hazy but I knew who was speaking. “You’re… Twilight… um… Twilight Sparkle.” I answered. “Alright and who are you?” Twilight asked. The haze coating my brain seemed to lift quite a bit as I became annoyed by her question. “I’m Tec!” I nearly shouted. My vision cleared to the point where I could actually see the people around me. At first I was scared and confused as I couldn’t remember how I got to Equestria. I calmed down as my memories flooded into my head and I began to feel the aching in my body and the pain in my mouth… Then, I realized exactly what had happened. I looked to Twilight with a sad expression. “How long did it take?” I asked. Though with my slightly swollen tongue it sounded like ‘hou lowng dihd ih tayk’. “It’s been two hours since your seizure started.” Twilight said with a sad expression. Her face was coated in dry tears. I sighed sadly. “A’m shawry…” I said as I pulled her into a hug that was quickly reciprocated as she began crying softly into my shoulder. I noticed Celestia with a scared expression on her face and a pony that I guessed was a doctor standing near me as well. “Aw shooh hahv tolh yue abowh ma Epihlepshee.” I continued. “Uh… am I going to have to deal with this wounded tongue or can it be fixed quickly?” I asked, carefully and slowly sounding out each word to the doctor after I noticed she was a unicorn. “For a wound like the one you have normally I could just heal it with magic. Unfortunately I can’t guarantee it wouldn’t set off another seizure.” The doctor stated. I sighed and chuckled mirthlessly. Of course it can’t be that simple… I thought. I then realized I was still sitting in my own piss. “Um… shit…” I said. “This is going to sound very bad but… I kind of emptied my bladder during my seizure… I need to get to a shower… but, I can’t trust my legs… I… I’m going to need help…” I continued, slowly working around my injury. I could feel Twilight heat up in embarrassment at what I said. “Yes, I can have a stallion come in to help you if that would be better for you.” The doctor stated. “No it’s fine.” I say as Twilight backs up and I move to the side of the bed I’m on. The doctor comes up to me and puts an arm around my waist. I position my arm over her shoulder and try to stand up. “Thank you.” I say to the mare. We slowly make our way to the bathroom as the haze fades little by little. Finally, a few moments before we get to the door, I feel able enough to do the rest myself. “I think I’ve got it from here.” I slowly struggle out. “Are you sure?” she asks. I simply nodded and made my way into the bathroom. I closed the door and stripped as quickly as possible. I took a brief shower, making sure to pay extra attention to my legs. I dried myself off afterwards and realized that I hadn’t brought any clothes with me. I sighed thoughtfully before noticing a pair sitting on the sink. I smiled and dressed as quickly as I could, without falling, and exited back into the room. Celestia and the doctor had left but, Twilight had decided to stay. My stomach growled loudly and I noticed I was absolutely starving as I laid down. “Um… can you get me some food or ask someone else to please.” I said with a small blush. She chuckled a bit and nodded. “Sure. What do you want?” She asked. “Actually… some fruit would be wonderful.” I answered after a moment of thought. Twilight smiled and nodded once more. “Ok.” She said softly. I giggled a bit. “What?” She asked. “The way you said that was really cute.” I said without skipping a beat. Hurray! My internal filter is turned off. I thought in an odd tone that was mixed with loathing and joy. Twilights face burned brightly at my compliment. “Um… th.. Thank you Tec.” She said while looking at her hooves. “You’re welcome Twily.” I stated, while humming the tune to BBBFF in my head and swaying to the beat a bit. She poked her head out of the door and I heard her speaking to someone, probably a maid or something. I closed my eyes continued to sway. “So… um… Tec… um… you never asked if we might be able to send you home… Why?” Twilight asked. I opened one eye and looked at her with a tad bit of confusion evident on my face. “That was really weird timing for that question.” I said before taking a deep breath. I opened my other eye and looked at her seriously. “Do you want me to lie to you or do you want the truth?” I asked. “The truth, of course.” She said obviously confused. I took another deep breath. “Where I come from is… not too nice of a place… but, in all honesty… that had nothing to do with my decision not ask. More than anything… the world I am from… well… bored me… if I had a chance to go back… the only reason I would, would be to ask my family and my few friends to come back with me. I don’t want to leave…” I said thoughtfully. “I don’t want to lose you all…” I said, my voice suddenly quiet as I sagged sadly at the thought. “Are… are we really that important to you?” She asked. “Yes… yes you are….” I answered simply. She walked up to my prone form and hugged me tight happy tears falling from her eyes. Warm feelings and Gidget enter stage rightSomething has gone wrong.

Into the rabbit hole(Edited)Into the rabbit hole … The strange dream began to fade as I felt myself edging towards wakefulness. “… light I think it is just asleep,” a young male voice stated quietly. Who the hell is in my room and how did they get in my house? The I thought. Being cautious I kept my eyes closed. “Regardless, we need to report this to the princess. Spike, write up a letter and send it to her. I will subdue him if he wakes.” A female voice said in a whisper. It was at this point that I noticed that I seemed to be on a floor his blanket was still over me for the most part and my dog was completely hidden underneath it. Princess…? Spike…? Why do those seem familiar and why am I on the floor? I thought now that my mind was fully awake. “No problem Twilight.” The one who was called Spike stated in his hushed voice as he began to creep away. Wait… What did he… “TWILIGHT?!” I exclaimed loudly as I shot up off of the floor and caused my dog to panic and bark excessively from under the blanket. My dog tried to run off and ended up taking the blanket with him. I saw a lavender colored streak and then something hit me and I was out once again. … Once again I began to wake. “What in the name of Celestia is it?” I heard a slightly accented female voice state in confusion. I noticed that I was no longer touching the ground but could not feel what was holding me up. Did she just say Celestia? I thought as I started to come to. “Well, it sher ain’t no pony.” A country girl voiced. Wait…. Pony… My thoughts continued. “I haven’t seen something like this before. Though, he seems somewhat similar to something.” A very quiet voice muttered. “Fluttershy, how do you know that it is a he?” A slightly boyish female voice asked. That confirms it… I thought. “Because she knows animals very, very well and can usually tell these things Rainbow Dash. I thought you would know that by now.” I stated without opening my eyes. My excitement began building as a smile crept its way across my face. A stunned silence filled the room as I tried to move and found myself entirely immobile. “Twilight, would you mind releasing me? I kind of have to use the restroom.” I said as I opened his eyes. Well… we were wrong about at least one thing… they aren’t full ponies… I thought as I took in the girls around me. Twilight had lavender fur, purple eyes, and a purple and pink striped, indigo mane and tail, I guessed she was around 5’3”, and was wearing a shortish, purple skirt and a light blue button up top, her wings folded up behind her. A look at her horn showed a soft purple glow. Her mouth was wide open in confusion and shock. Pinkie Pie’s fur was a light pink and was wearing a short pink sleeveless dress with balloons on the skirt of it a balloon beret in her poofy, pink mane. Her blue eyes looking at me with a strange knowing and she had a ridiculously wide smile. Rarity’s fur was white and her curled mane and tail were a very dark purple. She wore a simple white shirt and a blue skirt she had a pair of red rimmed glasses on which told me that she had been working. She too had an aghast look. Rainbow Dash’s fur was light blue and her mane and tail seemed to exemplify her name. Her eyes were a very dark pink that was almost purple and her wings were folded up against her back. She was wearing tight fitting black shorts and a white tee shirt a pair of goggles hung around her neck. Applejack had orange fur and a blond mane and tale that were both pulled up into pony tails, I giggled internally about that. Her eyes were an emerald green that made me stop and stare for a bit. She wore a brown Stetson, a long sleeved, green, button up shirt and a pair of jeans with a belt with an apple as the buckle. Fluttershy had soft yellow fur and a pink, wavy mane and tail. Her eyes were a gorgeous aquamarine. Her wings were also pulled in against her back. She wore a white turtle neck shirt and a black pair of pants. “Yes, I know who you all are. Yes, I can talk. No, I can’t tell you why I know. I need to talk to Celestia and see if she thinks it would be wise to tell anyone why I know. Now please I really have to go to the bathroom.” I continued as I felt my bladder clench. I felt myself move slowly in the air towards a door as Twilight and her friends began to come out of their shock. Then I heard a pair of snickers coming from Applejack and Rainbow Dash at first I was confused as to why they would laugh until I felt it… “Well… that is why I said I had to go… I could explain why… but… I am not going to.” I said as I was continued slowly forward. “Well, at least you know for sure that I am definitely male. Now please hurry, I really have to go.” I was pushed into the room and the door shut behind me a purple glow illuminating it as I felt myself gaining control. Well then, I never thought something like this would happen to me… I thought as I finished up and went to the door. I took a deep breath and noticed that the air was really sweet for some reason. I heard whispering on the other side of the door. “I’m done.” I said loudly. The door opened and I found myself surrounded by a bubble of lavender magic sectioning me off from the girls. Shrugging I sat down against a wall and closed my eyes taking a deep breath again. “So, when do you think Celestia will be here to check up on me?” I asked without opening his eyes. “Right now.” A new voice stated. The smile I had been wearing deepened. “I said Celestia, not Luna. Good test though.” I opened his eyes and stood up, stretching a bit. I saw that both Celestia and Luna were standing in front of the shield. “Though, both of you should probably step into the shield and put up some kind of silencing spell, one that doesn’t allow for any sound to leave so that no information is given prematurely before you both decide if they should know.” I cracked my neck and beckoned them in. More silence followed. “I have a question before hand. How do you know that you are blocked in by magic?” Twilight asked confusion apparent on her face. “Can you not see the… well, I guess not. I can see your magic in front of me in the form of a barrier. I know that it is yours because of its color. Yours is somewhere between lavender and pink. Rarity’s is light blue. Celestia’s is a very bright yellow and Luna’s is a midnight blue. Does that answer your question well enough?” My face changed to an earnest one showing that I was in no way mocking her. “… Yes… I guess…” Twilight shook her head a bit more confused than before. Celestia and Luna teleported into the portal and looked at me, if they were surprised at all, they showed none to me. Luna’s horn lit up a bit and a layer of her midnight blue intermingled with Twilight’s light lavender. “We know that you stated that you were called a human but, what exactly is that?” Celestia was looking at me trying to understand. “Humans are a type of bipedal, societal creature surviving solely because of a large brain. That brain makes humans one of the most dangerous predators known. We are omnivorous and can survive solely on vegetable and fruit matter but, most prefer not to. Any further questions on that subject?” I asked; my face still looked quite sincere. “You state that your kind ‘survives solely because of a large brain’, yet you also state, ‘you are one of the most dangerous predators known’. How can this be if you have no natural weapons?” This time is was Luna who asked. “It is correct to assume that humans have no natural weapons, however that means nothing if we use our intellect to create tools. These tools and prehistoric human’s natural aggression slowly dwindled humanities natural predators down to nothing. Also, just so it is known humanities natural aggression is still present we just temper it with understanding.” I had sat back down at this point as I was still a bit bogged down by being hit with whatever Twilight had hit me with. My guess was magic but I wasn’t quite sure. I looked up at the two princesses before me. Celestia’s fur was pristine white and she wore a gown of the same brilliant white that came down to the floor. Honestly the only break from white on her was the adornment of gold that dotted her gown, the purple of her eyes and her multi-hued mane and tail that were flapping in a non-existent wind. Luna’s fur was indigo, her eyes were a grey-blue and she wore a black dress with silver adornments. Her starry night sky mane and tail were flowing in a non-existent wind blowing in the opposite direction of her sister. If I had to guess Celestia was about 6’2” and Luna was about 5’10”, as it was they dwarfed my 5’6”. “Your kind killed off entire races?” Luna stated in horrified confusion. “Unfortunately I cannot deny that. However that is not what I meant when I said that. What I was speaking of was that most of the predators that thought of us as easy game soon learned we were not and taught there young and it became known that humans were too much trouble and not worth the effort and loss. Thus, humanity flourished. Mind you humanity thinks itself to be the only sapient race on our planet as well. Also, we evolved to taste bad to almost all creatures.” I answered still looking at both of the princesses. Celestia decided to enter the conversation at this point. “You say that humanity thinks itself to be the only sapient race on your planet, but you do not see things that way do you?” The smile crept its way across my face once more. “You would be correct in that assumption, just because something does not behave or speak the way you believe a sapient creature should does not mean that it is not a sapient creature. This behavior is pure arrogance in my belief.” I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the wall. “However this is not the information I don’t know whether it would be wise to share.” I finished. “Then what is it?” I heard Celestia say, her voice full of patience. “Put a lie detector spell on first, if you have one, and I will tell you.” I stated not bothering to open my eyes. My eyelids lit up for a second as brilliant light hit them. “Ok, let me preface this by stating that humans are pretty advanced when it comes to technology. We have also gotten to the point where a good portion of our day can be devoted purely to entertainment. Don’t get me wrong we still have to work and do a bunch of things and some have more free time than others.” I opened his eyes. “Humans have something called a television in which we can watch movies, shows, cartoons or other things, all of which are supposedly created within different humans' imaginations. I have a theory that anything that appears in one’s imagination is nothing but a glimpse into another world, though it gets horribly warped it seems. I know of you, your sister, the elements of Harmony, Discord and many other things purely from a cartoon from my world. Now, that does not mean that my knowledge of things is perfect or anything of that nature. Hell, in the cartoon that I watched you and all of the other denizens of this world were quadrupeds that had no need for clothing. I have no clue whether or not the information I got from the cartoon is relevant past certain names, voices and positions. I will have to see what is relevant from the show and what is not. Also, my being in this world does not prove my theory to be correct. It is only evidence.” I continued my long speech; her spell did not react even once. “If not for my spell I would find that hard to believe.” Celestia said her eyes holding confusion. “Now I have another question for you. Would you harm any of our subjects?” She continued. “That question is a bit harder to answer. No, I would not go out of my way to harm one of your subjects unless I was trying to defend myself or my friends. However, I also can’t make any promises because I am very protective and can become very vindictive. It also depends on what you mean by harm. Even when I become vindictive I wouldn’t physically hurt anyone, but there are far worse things than pain.” I said, my face contorted into a slight grimace. Once again her spell stayed dormant. “Also, I wish to become friends with Twilight and her friends. I actually kind of idolize what was presented in the show and would like to see how much of it is true. I am actually really excited as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, what the cartoon I was speaking about is named, was one of my favorite shows. Finally, if you decide that I am too much of a danger to risk please tell Fluttershy the reason I look familiar is that I am in the same biological grouping as chimpanzees, gorillas and other apes. Before you ask I have no clue how my dog and myself got here.” I finished after the grimace disappeared. Celestia looked at her sister and both of them seemed to zone out for a second. After which they looked back at me. “We have decided that you may remain free but, under watch until you prove yourself, one way or another. However, we have yet to decide whether or not you may tell anypony of your theory or of the reason for your knowledge. Now, one final question before we depart. What is your name?” Celestia had a thoughtful look on her face as she asked this. I smiled and took a breath. “You may call me Tec.” “Very well Tec.” Celestia said as she looked to Luna and Luna took her spell down. She then looked to Twilight and nodded her head. Twilight’s spell disappeared and the girls looked at me apprehensively. “Twilight, this is Tec. He is not currently allowed to tell you how he knew anyponies names. However my sister and I do not think that he is an immediate danger to anypony and he has expressed the wish to try and become friends with you and your friends. I must ask would anypony be willing to house him for the time being?” She continued looking upon the girls in front of us. Pinkie Pie got a large smile on her face and her head began to fill up like a balloon before Fluttershy’s small voice stated. “I… um… wouldn’t mind housing him… um… for now… that is if you don’t mind.” I smiled at Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. “Thank you Fluttershy it would be an honor to accept your hospitality.” I said as I walked up to her and kissed her hand. I looked up to see her blushing up a storm. “Pinkie Pie I am very sorry but, I think you and I would get into too much trouble, though, I am hoping for a Pinkie Party sometime in the near future. Now, I have a question for you Fluttershy. Did my dog, Anubis, give you any trouble at all? He is kind of skittish of new people and animals but, he truly is a good dog.” I finished as Pinkie Pie’s head deflated. “My, my what a gentlecolt.” Rarity said with a vibrant smile on her face. Fluttershy’s blush began to fade as she answered. “He was… um… he was… just fine… He really was… truly adorable…” She was backing away slightly. “Thank you very much for making sure that Nubi was ok, I love him and would be sad if anything happened to him.” I said with a very thankful smile. I turned to Twilight and saw Celestia and Luna pop out of the room in the corner of my eye. “Twilight, I wish to have many conversations with you about different theories and other things. It will truly be nice to have someone to speak to about things of a more academic nature.” Twilight began beaming. I turned towards Rarity. “I have a couple of things I would like to commission from you if you wouldn’t mind. I can pay you in labor if need be. I also have a couple of things I would like to talk to you about later, I may not be any kind of expert but I do enjoy looking at and trying to design things of beauty.” Rarity’s smile only grew. I turned towards Rainbow Dash and Applejack. “Rainbow Dash I would absolutely love to talk to you about some possible stunts you may be able to pull off.” Rainbow Dash kind of rolled her eyes. “Applejack I… kind of need your help with something if you don’t mind. Do you mind stepping out for a bit so we can talk about this in a more private environment?” “Well, the princesses said you weren’t all that dangerous and ya sher don’t seem like yer bad or nothin’, so naw I don’t mind a bit.” Applejack said. I walked out of the door with Applejack and followed her towards Sweet Apple Acres. After about 10 minutes of walking in silence and a whole lot of shocked staring, we finally made it to her home. “Hey Big Mac, this here is Tec. We’re gonna go and talk in the barn and he says it’s a bit private so make sher everyone knows not to come in ok.” She shouted to a large red stallion who was wearing nothing but jeans showing his toned abs as he worked in the field. “Eeyup.” He shouted back without looking. Once we were in the barn, Applejack asked. “So, what is that ya need help with?” She drawled out. “In my world I picked up the habit of lying about things. Now, I have fixed a lot of that with age and experience but, I still lie about small things here and there. You are the element of Honesty and I believe you are probably the best one to help me break this habit. Would you mind helping me with this?” I asked slightly sheepishly. “Well now, that wasn’t what I was expecting at all.” Applejack said as she got a thoughtful look on her face. “Sher I don’t mind helping you. Mind you if you hurt Fluttershy or any of the other girls I will not hesitate to put a hurtin’ on you.” She continued. I smiled and went to hug her but stopped himself an unsure look on his face as he said. “Thank you so much.” Applejack smiled and pulled me into a hug. “Yer real friendly you know that?” She stated. “I try to be nice and give others respect. Though if someone loses my respect it is really hard to get it back.” I said as we pulled away. “Now I have to go check on my dog and talk to Fluttershy about my living arrangements. Talk to you later. Also, if you need any help with anything just ask, I will do what I can.” I started to walk away then stopped. I turned towards Applejack and asked, “Would you mind telling me how to get to Fluttershy’s house please?” My face showed a slightly embarrassed grin. “I’ll do ya one better, I’ll take ya there maself.” She said as she walked out of the barn with me in tow. After another 15 minutes of walking and even more stares we got to Fluttershy’s house. Fluttershy was out amongst her animals talking to them and comforting Anubis. I whistled and pat my legs and my dog shot out towards him jumping up on his legs and licking my face once he bent down. “Oh, yes that’s my Nubi isn’t it. Yes, yes I love this boy.” I said as I got the smallish dog off of my legs and got Nubi to follow me. “Thank you once again Fluttershy for this. If you need help with anything please don’t hesitate to ask. I love animals and, while I am by no means an expert, I will definitely help whenever I can.” I said to Fluttershy. After that I turned towards Applejack. “And thank you for showing me the way.” I said to her waving good bye as she headed towards Sweet Apple Acres. “So, you offered for me to stay here quite quickly, even though it is quite obvious you are very shy. Have you had someone in your home before?” I asked Fluttershy as I came up to her. This will either be evidence for or against let’s see which. I thought as I looked at her. “Well… um… yes… I helped one of my friends before… he was um… really lonely and I didn’t want to see you like that… and you seem really nice…” Fluttershy stammered out slowly. “Well…” I actually began to think at that point. Oh shit, I just realized… I can’t see my family… Holy fuck… Fluttershy saw my face become crestfallen as I fell to my knees and tears began to fall unbidden from my eyes my previous excitement completely gone. Fluttershy panicked a bit and rushed over to me pulling me into a hug with her head sitting on mine. “Shh, it’s going to be fine. Shh, I’m here for you.” She whispered to me as tears continued to fall, my face pressed into her chest. If I wasn’t depressed this would be amazing. I thought as I wrapped my arms around her and just cried.
A day with the girls(Edited)A day with the girls Three days passed as I wallowed in my depression. Hell, the only reason I could sleep at night is because Fluttershy sang me to sleep each night. I hardly went into town and when I did I avoided everyone. I was so depressed that it actually seemed as if the colors of Equestria had dulled. I hadn’t seen any of the girls save Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, and when I saw her I quickly turned the other direction. Finally, as I sat in the bathroom, I decided to look at myself in the full length mirror Rarity had given Fluttershy. My long brown hair looked absolutely disgusting and greasy as I had not actually showered in days. Yet it also seemed… flat and dull… as this had never happened before I was a little curious… but, I was far too depressed to actually care. My plain black shirt was wrinkled and coated in various animals’ fur and seemed almost like a dark grey. My white pants seemed stained by the dirt. My white shoes were coated in grime. Fuck, don’t even mention my smell, the only reason Fluttershy hadn’t said anything was because she was too nice to tell me that I smelled like the underside of a camels balls. I took a deep breath and called out. “Fluttershy are you home?” “Yes. What… um… what do you need?” Her quite response came from behind the door. “Well, I am going to take a shower and these are the only clothes that I have… do you know where I can have them washed?” I asked a bit ashamed. “Yes. I can take them to Rarity… I mean… if that’s ok.” She stated. “Yes that should be fine. Thank you.” I said my depression still evident in my voice. I quickly undressed and set the clothes outside of the door from behind the door. I heard a small ‘Eeep’ from the other side. “Sorry, are you ok.” “Um… yes… I am just fine. I just wasn’t expecting shoes as well.” Her quiet reply came. “Shit, sorry those must have gotten stuck in the pant legs. I didn’t mean to put those out there. If it’s ok can you set them by the front door so that I can wash them later?” I asked my voice sounding dull even to me. “I can take those over to Rarity as well… if that is ok with you of course.” She stated meekly. “I guess that’s fine…” I replied in a way that can only be described as being well grey. “Ok.” Was all she said before I heard her two hooves clopping away. I took my shower but, didn’t get out when I was done. I just stood there underneath the shower head until the hot water went cold and it forced me to get out. I looked out to see if Fluttershy had returned. Not seeing her anywhere I wrapped a towel around my waist and looked at the mirror once more. I no longer looked gross but, I still seemed to look lackluster. Even my eyes looked duller than usual. Still too depressed to really think this over I headed to the room that had been converted to guest room for me and sat down on the edge of the bed. I put my face in my hands and began to silently cry. Before long I felt a really soft furry hand rubbing my back. I jumped a little at the touch and looked up to see who it was and, much to my confusion, it was Pinkie Pie. I had a sad laugh and said, “so you really can get anywhere at any time for any reason, I didn’t even hear any of the doors open. Is your Pinkie Sense real as well?” “Yep, it sure is.” She said her eyes looking at me with a knowing I never thought was possible. “Do you know what is going on?” I asked never looking away from her brilliant blue eyes. “I know enough.” Was all she said. “I miss them so much…” I stated trying to hold back my tears. “I know you do and I know that we can never replace them, however, know this no matter what happens, they still love you and who knows maybe you can find a way to see them again one day.” She continued while giving me a hug. I turned towards her and put my arms around her and once again bawled my eyes out. I think we may have stayed like that for possibly half an hour before I felt myself pulling myself together. I pulled away, took a deep breath and smiled. Instantly the colors around me seemed brighter and the world seemed more vibrant. Pinkie Pie had an astonished looking smile on her face. “What?” I asked, confusion evident on my face. Her smile grew and she had a bit of a twinkle in her eye. “OHMYGODYOUCANDOITTOO!” She exclaimed almost too fast for me to understand. “Do what exactly?” I asked even more confused. She pulled a mirror out of nowhere and pointed it at me so I could see myself. My hair seemed to be back to its normal dark brown wavy self, my eyes seemed to have more luster than they did moments before, and still I dismissed it. “I still have no clue what you mean.” I said looking at her puzzled. Her smile never left her face. “You can do this.” Instantly her pink coat became darker, the white shirt she had been wearing seemed to turn a bit dingy, the blue jean skirt faded, her mane and tail went flat and became darker as well and her eyes lost any of the previous sparkle. After a few seconds her mane and tail re-inflated and she was back to her normal Pinkie self. “Wait… I actually deflate when I get depressed?” I asked still a little confused. “Yeppers. I haven’t met anypony who can do that as well.” She said curiosity obviously hinged on every word. My eye twitched a bit before I laughed and laughed and laughed. At some point Pinkie joined me in my laughter. After a while I noticed that Fluttershy was standing in the doorway my clothing, folded and cleaned, in one hand and my shoes in the other. She had a bright smile on her face. I slowly caught my breath, still slightly chuckling. “Guess what we found out.” I managed through my slight chuckles. “I don’t know what you found out but, I would imagine it was good from all that laughing.” Fluttershy stated with a happy tone in her voice. “I don’t know if it’s good but, it struck me funny none-the-less. When I get depressed I ‘deflate’ like Pinkie Pie does. She got me to ‘re-inflate’ not too long ago. I wonder what else I can do that she can do.” I said through a wide smile. Fluttershy seemed to get confused for maybe half a second before she herself had to stifle a quiet chuckle. “I don’t know how the girls are going to react to two Pinkie Pies.” Fluttershy said through her smile. “Bubble Berry, not Pinkie Pie. That is the male form.” I said without thinking. Fluttershy’s eyes grew wide. “Um… I mean… uh…” I stammered out. “Damn it!” I exclaimed softly. Pinkie Pie once again had that knowing smile on her face. “Pinkie Pie… I’m not supposed to say anything about that… mind helping me out?” I said quietly enough that Fluttershy couldn’t hear. “Hmm… what would I get out of it?” She whispered back. “One favor. The only limit is that I can’t die.” I answered quietly. “Silly, I wouldn’t get you killed. You promise?” She asked in her hushed tone. “I promise.” I answered getting a bit anxious that Fluttershy would get suspicious of our conversation. “You Pinkie promise?” She continued, a small lilt to her voice. “Yes I Pinkie promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.” I answered back in a hushed tone. “Okie-dokie-Lokie.” She stated before looking at Fluttershy. “He and I started thinking up male names of all our friends after we figured out that he can do some of the stuff that I can.” She quickly continued then smiled a big smile. I swear I heard a squee when she did. “Oh… ok… um… could you tell me what you came up with for me?… I mean if you don’t mind… you don’t have to…” Fluttershy asked meekly. “Butterscotch.” I answered with a smile, thankful that the possible crisis had been avoided. “Rarity is Elusive, Rainbow Dash is Rainbow Blitz, Twilight Sparkle is Dusk Shine and Applejack ‘s name doesn’t really need to change.” I continued. “That is actually very nice.” Fluttershy quietly said with a smile back on her face. “Now… um… not to be rude but, can I get dressed. I don’t think nice mares like yourselves would care to much for me trying to do that with you still in the room.” I stated with a bit of humor. Fluttershy’s face turned scarlet and left immediately… with my clothes… “Okie-Dokie.” Pinkie said as she bounced out closing the door. I just stood there for a bit waiting for Fluttershy to realize she had taken my clothes. I rolled my eyes after three minutes passed. Finally, I heard a knock on the door. “Um… I seemed to have taken… uh… your clothes with me when I left… um…” She said through the door. I smiled and shook my head trying not to laugh. “I know.” I said as I made my way to the door and opened it. She handed me my clothes and shoes and hurriedly left as I shut the door again. I quickly got dressed and put my shoes on, cracked my neck and headed out into the main living area of the cottage. Fluttershy was feeding Angel bunny a carrot and was turned away from me as I walked in, “Fluttershy,” I said trying to get her attention. She eeped, showing that I startled her, before turning towards me, “I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me through my little depression and for taking me in. You truly exemplify your element as your kindness truly knows no bounds. Can I show a bit of my thanks by giving you a hug?” I continued. Fluttershy smiled and walked up to me. “Of course you can.” She said before giving me one of the warmest hugs I have felt in a long time. I smiled and returned the hug. I realized then that Fluttershy was actually quite a bit shorter than me as my chin actually sat on her head. Probably around 5’ or 5’1”. I thought as we hugged. When we stopped hugging I looked at her and saw that she was wearing a green sleeveless sundress that complimented her fur, mane and eyes very well. “You look really good.” I complimented absentmindedly. When I looked at her face again she was once again blushing, the red of her cheeks actually making her even cuter. “I’m sorry if I make you uncomfortable at all.” I said through a grimace. “N… no… n… not uncomfortable… ju… just… unexpected… I don’t usually get… a lot… of… um… compliments…” She stammered out quietly. “I don’t particularly see why you wouldn’t. You are absolutely gorgeous.” I said with a confused look. Her blush deepened. “Sorry, let’s um… let’s go see Twilight to see if she has any news from the Princesses before I cause you to burn up.” I continued as I looked off to my left at nothing in particular. “Yes… um… let’s” she said more quietly than normal. We headed out the door and had an uneventful walk to the library. I knocked on the door and waited. Soon enough the door was opened by the knee high purple dragon that was Spike, he actually didn’t have to wear clothes and was almost identical to the Spike pictured in the cartoon, save for looking realistic instead of cartoony. Still even if he looked realistic he still was completely adorable. “Hey Spike, is Twilight here?” I asked. “Yep.” He answered and said in a louder voice towards the inside of the tree building, “hey Twilight! Tec and Fluttershy are here!” “Coming!” We heard from up the stairs as we walked in. Clopping soon followed as she walked down the stairs with a book floating next to her head to the left, books in her left and right hands and a book off to her right floating as well. She set the all of her books down on a table after bookmarking them. “It’s good to see that you are feeling better Tec.” Twilight said as she sat down in a chair and motioned for us to do the same. I did so and saw that Fluttershy had as well. Then I remembered what had happened not too long ago and began to chuckle again before breaking out into laughter again. “It’s good to see you laughing but, what’s so funny?” She quizzed. As I was unable to catch my breath I looked at Fluttershy and politely motioned for her to explain. “Well, it seems that both Tec and Pinkie Pie share some of the same quirks.” Fluttershy replied in her quiet fashion. “Ok, I still don’t see how that is funny.” Twilight stated in a confused fashion. Pinkie Pie popped out of an empty ink bottle and said. “Tec deflates like I do when he gets sad and poofs up when he becomes happy again. It just isn’t as noticeable on him. We don’t know what else he can do that I can buuuuuut, we are going to find out.” Pinkie Pie smiled a Cheshire grin and bounced out of the house and closed the front door. Twilight looked confused for a moment, then looked at me, her alarm apparent and her eyes wide. “Wait you mean there could be two Pinkie Pies!” She nearly shouted, coming up off of her seat slightly. I finally caught my breath before answering. “Probably not entirely, I have a bit more inhibitions then Pinkie seems to have. Still, her and I will be experimenting later. I am curious if I can do some of the more unexplainable things Pinkie can do. Probably not, is my guess.” I took another deep breath and completely regained my composure before continuing. “However, that isn’t what I came here to speak to you about. Have you received anything from Celestia detailing whether I have permission to expose my knowledge or not?” I could see her struggling with the knowledge that I could possibly have Pinkie Powers but she seemed to have calmed down a bit after I told her that I probably don’t. “Unfortunately, no. I have yet to receive any word on that.” Twilight seemed a bit down when she said that, “however, we will get to see the Princesses in less than a week’s time, that is if you don’t mind coming to my coronation.” She finished. “That is something I wouldn’t miss for the world.” I answered with a huge smile on my face, oh yeah, I get to see her become a Princess, I thought happily. Twilight smiled happily as well. I took the time to notice what she was wearing. She had an indigo button up vest on with a white button up shirt on underneath and a black skirt on. “Damn why the hell are you girls so beautiful.” I said without thinking. Both Fluttershy and Twilight stammered a bit as matching scarlet blushes grew across their muzzles. “Damn it all, I did it again!” I said vehemently. Spike was laughing and rolling on the ground clearly enjoying their embarrassment. “Well, at least it’s true.” I continued under my breath. I stood up and finished with, “Well, before I fluster either of you anymore I need to go and talk to Rarity and thank her for washing my clothes and shoes. Fluttershy thank you for taking me here.” I turned to walk out before hearing Spike exclaim. “Rarity! Can I come with?” I took a deep breath and turned around. “Normally I would say ‘no problem’ but right now I have to talk to her about something of a more personal matter. Sorry Spike. Next time for sure.” I stated as sincerely as I could. I motioned him over to me. He came closer and I whispered, “don’t worry I won’t try to put any moves on her.” His purple scaled face shone bright red as he stiffly nodded, walked to the stairs and sat down. I smiled and waved to the girls and Spike and walked out quite pleased with myself. I headed off towards Carousel Boutique feeling almost happy enough to bounce like Pinkie. On my way over I noticed Applejack selling apples from her stall and decided to talk to her. “Hey Apple Jack, how’s the day treating you?” I asked with a huge smile. “Pretty good so far.” Applejack said. “So, ya feelin’ any better, pardner?” She asked, her concern obvious. “Quite a bit better, actually. Pinkie Pie found a way to cheer me up. Afterwards I spoke to Twilight to see if any word had come from Canterlot. Unfortunately none yet.” I explained with a wide grin. “So, how much have you earned so far?” I asked. “Well, ah got 12 bits in the last hour. Ah had Big Mac over here minden’ the stall this mornin’ not sher how much he pulled in.” She answered. “Hmm. Well, I don’t particularly know if that is good but, good luck with the rest of your day none-the-less. Talk to you in a bit. I need to go and talk to Rarity and thank her for her help. See ya.” I said as I walked off. The Carousel Boutique was not too far from the Twilight’s Library, you could see it from her front door, so the actual walk there didn’t take me too long. I opened the door and heard the bell above me ring. “Rarity are you here?” I asked slightly loudly. “One second, darling, I’ll be right with you.” I heard her state from up the stairs. Well, the Carousel Boutique looks almost identical to what was in MLP. That’s four places on that list. I thought still smiling. Rarity soon came down the stairs wearing a lovely red gown with her red glasses set up upon her horn. “Oh, Tec, how are you? I heard from Fluttershy that you weren’t feeling all that great.” She continued once she saw me. “Yeah… She kind of said something that made me remember that I wouldn’t be able to see my family or my old friends anytime soon. Pinkie found a way to make me smile.” I answered. “I’ll be fine now.” I continued. “Anyways, I actually came over here to thank you for what you did for me this morning. Thank you very much for making sure my clothing got clean. I, also, am going to need more clothing than what I have on. I will do what I can to pay for them, as I can’t actually pay money for them I will do odd jobs and run errands for you. I don’t really need much though. Please, will you help me with this?” I spouted out a small amount of worry apparent in my voice. “Of course dearie and don’t worry too much about paying me back right now. I may have you do something for me later but, then again maybe not. It isn’t like your build is much different from a pony body. Though your shoes are much, much different.” Rarity stated as she went over to her work table. Ah, hell, why not I made half of the other Mane 6 I have met blush already, what’s one more. I thought. “You know, you look utterly gorgeous and that dress really compliments you nicely.” I said to her, she was turned away from me and slightly bent over her work station giving me a pleasant view of her flank. Well, that is a nice view and I’m not even an ass person. I thought. Her flank wasn’t overtly big but at the same time wasn’t small and my guess is that it was pleasantly soft. “Why thank you.” She said as she turned around and caught me in the act of staring at her flank. My eyes slowly traveled up to her face as a guilty grin formed on my face. She had her glasses down in atop her muzzle now but was looking over the top of them with a knowing smirk on her face. My face felt like it was in a furnace I was blushing so badly. Well, I guess karma works here too. I thought as I looked everywhere but at Rarity. “Darling, you really should watch where your eyes wander. A gentlecolt should have a more trained eye than that.” She stated. I saw a chance for redemption and took it. “Ah, but Rarity my eyes are trained. They are trained to only partake in beauty, in all forms. Be it physical or internal.” My blush faded as I partook in a bit of chivalrous sounding smartassery. This time it was her turn to blush. She turned back towards her desk it seemed as if she was bent over a bit more but I couldn’t really tell. “Well then, um… I think I will your clothing ready before Twilights coronation.” She managed to say, without turning towards me. “Ah, speaking of that. I have been invited to her coronation and would very much like to attend. Would it be too much to ask if you have something I could borrow to wear? I wouldn’t want to look anything less than dashing for that and I know that you don’t settle for anything less than utterly fabulous.” I said to her, my eyes continued to wander towards her flank but, I wouldn’t let myself stare as I quickly found something else to stare at just to find my eyes wandering once again. She quickly turned around and looked at me, her face filled with utter glee. “I won’t have you borrow anything, I will just have to make something for you. Something that will be absolutely gorgeous. Something that will accent your natural beauty and show just how handsome you can be.” She stated; her eyes seemed to sparkle in excitement. I could almost see the amount of ideas running through her head. Soon I was in nothing but my black boxer briefs getting all of my measurements taken. When she started measuring down my thighs I closed my eyes and thought to myself don’t get a boner repeatedly as I tried not to think of how hot the mare measuring me was. “You seem to have a lot less fur than I thought you would. I mean, after Fluttershy told me what you told her, I expected you to have quite a bit.” She said thoughtfully. “Well, normally I am furrier than I am now. Not much more but still more. I shaved the day prior to me being transported here.” I said gracious to have something to think about other than the mare in front of me. “Shaved?” She said quizzically. “Yeah, I prefer to have very little or no body hair. Oh yeah, I didn’t tell you it isn’t fur, it’s hair. My kind lost almost all of our ability to grow fur once it was no longer a necessity.” I answered. Thankfully my measurements were taken without incident. Not so thankfully I let my guard down after I put my shirt on and my mind wandered. My manhood ended up peeking out of the opening in front, which, while not too noticeable, was a bit stretched. I immediately tried to hide what had occurred behind my pants but, the blush on her face told me that I wasn’t quick enough. “Um… I’m… um… well, sorry… that is something that sometimes happens…” I muttered as my face flushed scarlet. “Well… I… suppose so… um well… I have to go and start on your… clothing…” she stammered as she quickly made her way up the stairs. I heard a door slam upstairs and went back to putting on my clothing after I tucked my slightly protruding member back where it belonged. Good thing I didn’t get completely hard that would have been far, *far** more awkward.* I thought I heard a muffled moan from upstairs as I put my shoes on and rather than ponder on what she was doing I booked it out of the Carousel Boutique and found myself in the middle of town. I was bent over breathing heavily, less from the running and more so from the mental stimulation that had just occurred. “Hey, haven’t seen you around since the day you got here.” I heard Rainbow Dash say from above me. She didn’t sound too amused. “Yeah, I kind of had a little breakdown. Pinkie fixed it.” I answered as I caught my breath and looked up. … bad idea… she was in a denim skirt and was flying just high enough that I could see that she wasn’t wearing any panties under her spats. I immediately looked down. “Um… you… you should come lower to the ground…” I managed to say. “Why?” She asked genuinely confused. I looked around to see if anyone was around seeing no one within hearing distance, I told her. “I can tell you aren’t wearing any panties underneath your spats.” I answered. “Oh…” was I all heard her say before her wing beats grew closer. When I could see her hooves hovering just above the ground I looked up. As I stated before, she was wearing a denim skirt with black spats what I didn’t see is that she had a dark blue t-shirt on with the logo ‘Wonderbolts’ printed in yellow and yellow lightning bolts going down from her shoulders. Also, I noticed that her wings were pretty small and only extended to her elbow. Well they *are** magical denizens of a magical world,* I thought as my brain tried to apply Earth biology to the light blue Equestrian. She had her hands on her hips and was looking at me with an unamused looking half smirk she still had a bit of a blush on her face but, it was barely noticeable. “So, you said that you had some stunts you could share with me?” She asked almost deadpan. “Yeah… I kind of said that in the spur of the moment… I can give you some ideas… but… I can’t think of any right now.” She rolled her eyes. “However,” a mischievous grin played itself across my face, “I do have a prank we can do right now.” That got her attention and her face lit up with excitement. Half an hour and 14 bits later Pinkie Pie was bouncing through the park with her normal glee and happiness. Suddenly she was jerked off her feet. “Weee!” She screamed in delight as she was turned upside down and dangled from a tree by one hoof. She heard a something pulling against something and giggled with pure happiness. In no time at all she heard something snap and felt herself being sling-shot into the air. “WEEEEEEEEEEE!” She screamed with a fun filled smile on her face. She found herself slamming face first into a giant tiered cake with pink and white frosting. She noticed, before she hit, that the cake had red icing on it that spelled out, ‘Got’cha Pinkie, Tec and Dash’. She giggled as she popped out of the cake and said, “That was fun, can we do it again?” Her face still turned up in her adorable perpetual smile. Rainbow Dash and I were laughing our asses off from behind a bush as she got out of the cake and, somehow, licked all of the icing and cake bits off of her in one fell swoop. She devoured the cake in record time and bounced over to us giggling. “Hey Dashie, hey Tec!” She exclaimed happily. “You know what this means right.” Her smile grew to a Cheshire grin and she got a glimmer in her eye that caused both Dash and I to stop laughing and shiver a bit. “PRANKWAR!” She screamed joyously. Dash and I looked at each other and she seemed to be thinking the same thing I was… Oh, shit… what have done… Then we both took off in opposite directions. About 10 minutes later I was breathing heavily from all my running as I looked up to see where I was. Turned out that I was actually directly under the tree where we set up the first part of the prank. I heard flapping and saw Dash flying towards me. “That was so awesome!” She said once she got close enough. “You can say that again.” I said as I laughed some more. I held up my fist and in response she touched her fist to mine in a fist bump. “Oh, you know those stunts I was talking about?” I asked after we laughed a bit more. She raised one eyebrow and nodded an affirmative. “I remembered something that you may like to see.” I said with a wide grin. She smirked at me and we headed back towards town. After maybe three minutes of walking we made it back to the middle of town. I judged the distance between each of the buildings and thought, Yeah, should be fine. I stretched my legs, back and arms a bit. I checked my pockets, something I had yet to do since I got to Equestria, and found that I had left my black biking gloves and my handy spring loaded switch blade in my pocket. I knew my shoes weren’t preferable for what I was going to do but, you make do. “Hey Dash, can you hold this for me?” I asked as I pulled both of my gloves and my knife out and held out the knife for her to take. She did with a confused expression. I slid the form fitting gloves on and stretched my legs a bit more. I looked around a bit more and plotted a bit of a route. Then I took off. I ran up to a nearby tree and ran up it a bit before catching myself on a branch and flipping myself off of it and onto the top of the flower shop. I continued my running and picked up speed before leaping off of the flower shop and ‘rolling’ in the air over to a nearby building with a flat roof. I picked up speed and did a sort of spinning flip that led into a back flip over to the next flat roofed building. Catching myself on the edge and pushing myself into another spinning flip that turned me around, I bolted forward making more and more flips as I went from one flat topped building to another finally ending up next to Twilights library jumping over to one of the trees branches bounding off of it doing another spinning flip and rolling on the ground before ending up on my feet. Rainbow Dash was flying about 15 feet away from me with a giddy look on her face and her wings flapping stiffly. She landed right next to me and got right in my face. Her wings were still spread wide apart. “That… was… So… AWESOME!!” She exclaimed giddy with excitement, she almost sounded like she was squeaking her voice went so high. “You HAVE to teach me how to do that!” She continued. “I… can… but, later… ok…” I said between deep breaths. After a while I finally caught my breath and said, “Hey, hand me my knife.” She did and I pocketed it again, I pulled my gloves off and used the Velcro on them to fasten to my pants. “Hey, I’m starving wanna grab a bite to eat?” I asked her. “Sure, let’s go.” She said as we headed off towards a nearby café. After we ate and shared our goodbyes I walked and thought where I wanted to go next. Let's see if Applejack is finished, I thought still a bit tired from the running. I made my way over to check if her stall was still up and found her standing next to it packing everything up. "You need any help?" I asked as I neared the stall. "Sher. Why don'tcha load up some of them apples over there inta the cart." Applejack answered as she pointed to some buckets under the stall. "Ok." I said as I loaded up the buckets. I found them to be a bit heavy and was thankful that I was in better shape than I had been in a long time. Thank the gods for my interest in parkour and martial arts. I thought. After loading up all of the buckets, I decided to be a bit chivalrous and offered to pull the cart. Needless to say I was sweating my ass off when we finally pulled into the Apple farm. Big Mac came and took the cart from me once we entered and he non-nonchalantly pulled it into the barn. I just looked at the barn and thought, fucking earth ponies. I caught my breath and stretched. I looked at Applejack and saw that she was wearing jeans that fit her very snugly, a long sleeved, white, button up shirt with a green vest, that was left open, over it and, of course, she was wearing her brown stetson over her blond locks. All though she was toned, she was, also, pretty curvaceous. "You girls are almost unbelievably beautiful." I said quietly. Apparently not quietly enough as her face immediately brightened in a blush. "Um... well... Ya, really think so?" she stuttered. "Well, yeah. I mean, take you, for example. You are toned but, at the same time you have curves on you that would make a lot of women from my world jealous. Your eyes are utterly stunning and, while you may not take care of it like Rarity does with hers, your mane and tail are beautiful." I stated matter of factually. "Wow... Ah, ain't never got a compliment like that..." She said. She was still blushing but her face had a look of disbelief. "Well, I suggest you get used to it. I kind of have a habit of complimenting beauty when I see it. Especially when the outer beauty matches the inner beauty." I said with a smile on my face. Applejack shook her head in disbelief. I walked over to her and brought her into a warm hug. "If anyone ever tells you that you are anything other than absolutely stunning they are an idiot." I said quietly. I could feel her heat up as we hugged and I let her go. "Hey, wanna let Winnona play with Anubis at some point?" I asked. "Sher... why not..." She stated her face still beyond red. After that I waved goodbye to her while I walked to Fluttershy’s cottage as the sun went down. All in all that was a good day. Started off a bit rough but ended great! I thought as I laid down for a little nap, after all that running and jumping and working I was beyond exhausted. Darkness settled in as I fell asleep feeling better than I had in days.
Pinkie's Favor(Some Nudity)(Edited)Pinkie's Favor(Some Nudity) I woke up after that day of exertion feeling pretty sore so I stretched my arms up and brought my back into a bit of an arc and suddenly felt something warm and fuzzy on my morning erection. Now I knew that I was naked but, I hadn’t questioned it because it wasn’t the first time I fell asleep clothed and woke up naked, this, however caused my eyes to shoot open and what I saw stunned me… Rainbow Dash was in bed with me… entirely nude… I tried to keep my eyes from wandering but… well, it didn’t really work. Her cyan fur was silky and shined a bit with the morning rays. Her breasts were beautifully shaped, she was about a b-cup, and she had two small beads of darker blue that were her nipples. Her areolas weren’t much bigger than the nipples but, were the same blue. Her Stomach was beautifully toned and her belly button was cute. Her hips thighs were toned as well and that made for one beautiful flank. Then, she moved a bit and her fur brushed against my manhood causing it to twitch and, subsequently, giving me a small show of the gorgeousness that was her marehood, a wondrous shade of light pink that contrasted so well with the cyan of her fur. I saw that my blanket had been shoved down towards the bottom of the bed. I heard an ‘eep’ from behind me that developed into a quick but quiet, “I’m sorry.” Then the door was shut loudly, not exactly slammed but it was loud enough. I turned my head to look at the door and shook my head confused as to how this happened and what I was going to do. I turned my head back around and saw that Rainbow Dash had woken up and was silently staring at my lean chest. Her magenta eyes wide and her mouth hanging open. I cleared my throat to get her attention. She blushed and tried to look at her hooves then blushed some more as she caught sight of my erect cock and decided that the ceiling would be better to stare at. “I don’t quite know how this happened. I know that I was alone when I fell asleep and I don’t think you would get into the bed of someone you barely know especially…” I started and a blush formed, I cleared my throat and began again, “especially like this.” I finished. I stood up and began getting dressed. “Are… Aren’t you going to ask me to leave or something?” She asked while I pulled on my boxer-briefs. “Nope, you’ve already seen all there is to see no point in getting worked up about it. I will, however, leave as you get dressed.” I answered. “Um… one problem… I don’t have anything here…” She muttered… fuck… I thought. “Pull the blanket around you. We need to figure something out.” I stated. “Why? You just said that there was no point in getting worked up about it?” She said quizzically and I think I detected a bit of a defensive quality to her tone. “Because I need to be able to think and if I look at your gorgeous, athletic body any longer I won’t be able to concentrate on anything other than wanting you.” I answered. “That and this boner is getting a bit painful. Actually, you know what I’ll be back in a bit. Please be covered up when I get back.” I said as I turned towards the door went through and closed it again. I made my way to the bathroom and… took care of some business. When I returned I no longer had an erection and she was covered by the blanket and sitting up. My face was quite flushed. “Now, you need clothes, we need to figure out what happened and we need to get Fluttershy to believe that we weren’t, well, involved.” I saw her eyes open really wide. “Wait Fluttershy saw us like that… Ah buck…” She stated quickly. “Yeah, not that I wouldn’t get involved but, I don’t want your reputation to fall. Not with any of your friends.” I stated still trying to think of how in the world this happened. I saw her face flush even further. Than a thought hit me… “I think I know how this happened…” I paused and looked into her eyes and saw the realization in hers as well, “Pinkie.” We both said at the same time with finality. “I’m gonna go get Fluttershy so we can explain to her. You stay here I will bring her.” I said with a sigh. I turned to the door and walked out to look for Fluttershy. I heard the clatter of metal against metal and sizzling coming from the kitchen. I took a breath and walked in to find that Fluttershy was cooking some kind of yellow… bacon? Wait no, not important. Talk. I thought. “Fluttershy, um… you, Dash and I need to talk.” I said to her. “No… no, what you do… and with whom… is… um… none of my business.” She said quietly, never once looking at me. “That’s the thing we didn’t do anything.” I said sincerely. She looked at me then, her blush fading slightly and her face showed obvious confusion. “When you’re done please come to the room you allowed me and we will explain.” I stated. “Well… ok, then… and… um… that’s your room you know… you can call it that…” She said with a soft expression on her face. I smiled. “I… well… Thank you.” I finally said. I walked back to my room and opened the door. Rainbow apparently thought that I was going to be away longer than I was because when I opened the door I found her knuckle deep inside herself and moaning. I shut the door and walked back out with a huge blush on my face and a raging boner. I went back to the bathroom and began to wait out my erection. After about fifteen minutes I had finally calmed down and went back to my door. This time I knocked. “Come in.” I heard her muffled answer. I did so and she was covered back up and was blushing just as badly as I was. “Well…” she started, I noticed that since she had awoken her wings had not gone down. “Now you really have seen everything…” she muttered. “It was my fault for not knocking. I am truly sorry that you were seen like that…” I started, “however, I am not so sorry that I was the one who saw you. Um… so… in return I will offer you one favor. The only limit is that I can’t die. I have nothing else to offer as a means of apology.” I continued. “You don’t have to tell me what you want now and there is no time limit as to how long you have to tell me.” I finished. She nodded her head. I heard a knock on the door and I said, “Come in.” The door opened and Fluttershy stepped in. “Ok, to start off, I fell asleep right after sunset and I was dressed and alone. I woke up and Rainbow Dash was there. All, I know is my side. Rainbow?” I stated and Rainbow nodded her head. “I went to sleep, in my home, somewhere around ten. I woke up here.” Rainbow stated. “We pranked Pinkie yesterday and she declared a prank war. I think this is her prank.” I said afterwards. “I’m not entirely sure but, I am almost entirely sure.” I finished. Fluttershy nodded as understanding set in. “Also, um… Dash has no clothes here…” I said. “Oh, um… I can go and get them for you… if that’s ok.” She answered. Rainbow Dash shook her head in an affirmative. “You might want to put them into something so that other people don’t see it. We don’t want any rumors, right.” I quickly added. Fluttershy nodded and she closed the door. After a while I heard the front door shut. “Ok. Now, I have to go and check on my new clothes. Are you ok staying here by yourself for a bit?” I asked. “Yeah, I’ll be good.” Rainbow stated nonchalantly. “K. See ya.” I said as I walked out and shut the door. I went out the front door, shutting it as well, and made my way to Rarity’s. I got there without incident and opened the door. She was working on something at her workstation when I entered. “One second darling, I will be right with you.” She said without looking up. Shrugging silently, I sat in a stool near me and looked around at her different works. The dresses set up were absolutely beautiful, simply stunning truly. There were dresses with gems on them, dresses that shone with the utmost brilliance. I heard someone clear their throat. I turned my head and realized my mouth had dropped open. I promptly closed it and laughed a bit. “Well, at least you know that I like them.” She chuckled. “So, what brings you here, darling?” She asked. “Do you have at least one pair of clothing done? I kind of need to have some clothes to alternate so that I don’t start smelling bad.” I said with a grimace, remembering just how bad I smelt. “I have two actually. I made them a bit simple. I hope you don’t mind.” She answered. “Thank the Gods and thank you for even agreeing to do this in the first place. So, at the risk of sounding rude, where are they? I kind of sweat a lot yesterday and need to get the filth off of me quickly.” I explained. She smiled and pointed towards a small box. “I was going to take them to you when I took my lunch. I thought you might need them pretty quickly so I got those two completed before I started on your outfit for the coronation. Also, if you need the get clean quickly, you can use the shower upstairs, just leave your clothes by the door and I will get them clean.” Rarity stated. I was completely stunned. “I realize that you are the element of generosity and that this is going to sound redundant but, you are ridiculously generous. You hardly know me and you are willing to do all this.” I said with a look of pure disbelief. “You girls really do completely resemble your elements.” I continued and shook my head still stunned. “Back where I am from, people of your and your friends’ caliber are few and far between. I am happy I got the chance to actually meet you girls.” I rambled. …and see one of you naked I added in my head. “Why thank you, darling. As I said the shower is upstairs first door on the right.” She happily said. I went over to the small box and opened it. I found two full pairs of clothing: socks, underwear and all the other amenities. One shirt was a plain white tee and the other was a green shirt. One pair of pants was black and the other was dark blue. I decided to go with the white shirt and the black pants and picked up one of the pairs of boxer-briefs and a pair of socks. I hurried up into the bathroom and, after disrobing completely and putting my clothes in the hall, hopped into the opulent shower. Now, the shower was gaudy and had a lot of gold on it and I found it to be quite tacky, but, then again, I dislike gold with a passion. Still, I was in someone else’s house, using their things, so I kept my mouth shut. I showered quickly and toweled off and quickly got dressed. My hair was still slightly wet but, no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to stay strait. Gods damn it all. Now my hair is acting just like Pinkie’s, not that I should really be surprised. I thought. I went downstairs and said. “Thank you once again. Also, have you seen Pinkie?” “It was my pleasure. Hmm, not yet, though with that mare if she doesn’t want to be found, you never would see her again.” She answered chuckling slightly. I smiled and thought she’s probably entirely correct. I grabbed the box and found that my original clothes were in it and they were completely clean. “Well, that was done fairly quickly. Thank you once again Rarity.” I said, still smiling. “Yes, yes. I have all kinds of useful spells for apparel, so it was really no trouble.” She answered. I waved goodbye and decided If Pinkie wants war… then she better bunker down, cause we’re gonna blitzkrieg this mother fucker! Now to go get Rainbow Dash… The walk back was uneventful but it gave me some time to think of many, many possibilities. When, I got back Fluttershy had finished her cooking and was eating slowly while talking to Rainbow Dash. They were laughing a bit when I entered the dining room. “Ah, Tec, if you’re hungry there is some food for you in the kitchen… I mean if that ok. You don’t have to eat it.” Fluttershy said to me. “And miss out on your wonderful cooking, I think not.” I answered as I headed into the kitchen. Anubis was stretched out in front of the stove trying to look innocent. I shook my head and called him to me by snapping my fingers and patting my leg. He readily jumped up and walked over to me quickly. I crouched down and pet him for a bit and kissed him on his forehead. Then, I got the food and quickly made my way to the table. I smiled at both of them and thanked Fluttershy for the food before digging in. Afterward breakfast I looked to Rainbow Dash with a mischievous smile. She looked back confused and then blushed. I became confused for a moment before realizing what she thought my smile meant. “Hey Dash, I thought of a way to get Pinkie, even if we can’t find her.” My smile returned. Her blush faded and understanding replaced it, then, finally, a smirk appeared on her face. “So, what’s your plan?” Rainbow asked simply. “All will be revealed soon, my dear.” I said with a devious smirk. “First though, I must help with the dishes.” I said with an undetectable amount of enmity in my voice. “No, you really don’t hav…” Fluttershy started. “Sorry, not going to happen. I am going to help and that is final.” I interrupted, stood up and walked into the kitchen with the dishes. I quickly washed them and walked back into the dining room. Dash and Fluttershy had a look of slight disbelief on their faces. “What?” I asked. “Wow… you don’t even leave room for argument.” Rainbow said. “Well, yeah, that’s the point. I need to do something so I don’t end up abusing her kindness. I’m really happy that you all are helping me but, if I allow myself to sit and do nothing I will end up being a horrible friend.” I stated bluntly. “Well, then. Thank you Tec.” Fluttershy said in her soft tones. She was smiling softly. “No thanks needed, though you are welcome. Friends help friends. Period.” I simply stated. A song popped up in my head and I smiled and laughed a bit. “What’s funny? Thinkin’ of the prank for later?” Rainbow quizzed. “No. I had a song pop up in my head.” I answered. “Oh, what is it? I mean, you don’t have to tell me… if you don’t want to.” Fluttershy asked. “Uh… well… um…” I started, trying to think of something to say that would make sense. “I don’t remember most of the lyrics anymore.” I lied. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy stated. I walked over and pulled her into a hug. “Thank you for offering me kindness, when you didn’t know me and thank you for giving me a chance.” I had the urge to kiss her cheek but I refrained. Fluttershy hugged me back and when we pulled away I looked to Rainbow. “You ready?” I asked. She smiled and nodded. “I’ll be back later Flutters,” I stated to Fluttershy with a smile. She blushed a bit at, what I assume was, the nickname I had decided to use. Dash and I walked out. After a while Dash began laughing really loudly. “Flutters… really… Flutters!” She stated in between her laughter. “Better that than what I have for you and far better than what I have for Celestia and Luna.” I stated simply with a smile and sped up a bit. She took to the air and flew in front of me and turned around, continuing to fly backwards. “Wait. What do you have for me, Celestia and Luna?” She asked. I smirked and snickered a bit. “Little Dashie, Sun-butt and Moon-butt, respectively.” I answered. At the mention of her nickname she frowned a bit but at the mention of Celestia and Luna’s her eyes went wide and she tried to hold back laughter. “You… can’t… say that… about… the Princesses…” She said trying very unsuccessfully to keep in her laughter. “I wouldn’t say it to them to their faces until I knew them a lot better.” I said still smiling. “Also, if you don’t watch where you are going you’re going to hit something.” “Pfft, come on I won’t hi…” She started before smashing the back of her head into a branch. “Ow, oh buck, that hurt.” She said after turning around. She rubbed her head. “Told you.” I said as I chuckled. “Yeah, yeah. So what’s this idea of yours?” She asked, we had made it about half way to town at this point. “Before I tell you I need you to go and get some clouds. I need to go get a small pool.” I said as I turned towards Sweet Apple Acres. She stopped me and asked. “Ok, why are you being so secretive about this?” “Because I have a feeling Pinkie is around.” I said as I suddenly felt the urge to look at a bee hive. Pinkie popped out of it and said. “Ahh… and I thought I was hiding really well too.” She shrugged and bounded off in the direction of town. I turned back towards Dash. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. “How in the hay did you find Pinkie when she was hiding?” She asked. I chuckled again. “Eh, just a hunch.” I said smiling. “Now, I need you to get enough clouds together to make a bed, I’ll go get the pool.” She shook her head. I walked over to Applejack’s and asked Applejack, when I found her, “Do you have a small pool or something like that I can borrow? Nothing too big.” “Well sher we do but, why do ya need it?” She asked scratching her head in confusion. “Rainbow Dash and I are in a prank war with Pinkie.” I answered simply. “Uh-huh. Well ah guess it’ll be fine just bring it back when yur done I guess.” She said as she led me to the barn and over to a small two foot wide wooden pool like thing. “Perfect. Thank you AJ.” I said as I pulled her into a hug, which she returned. “Also, can we have a talk tomorrow about my little habit?” I asked as we split. “Sher. I was wonderin’ when you were gonna ask me ‘bout that.” She answered. “You know, country accents usually grate on my nerves but, I actually find yours to be really cute.” I said without thinking. Her face blushed heavily. “Sorry, just tell me if I ever make you feel uncomfortable.” “Ah just ain’t used to gettin’ compliments from a stallion. Ah ain’t pretty like Rarity or cute like Fluttershy.” She managed. “No, you aren’t. You are you, not them. You have things that make you alluring that none of the others have and they have things that make them appealing that you don’t have. Plain and simple. Now, if you don’t mind I have to go and get a lot of pudding.” I rambled. “Wait, what now?” She asked. “Pudding.” I said as I grabbed the small wooden pool, it wasn’t all that heavy so I had no issues carrying it with me. I walked the rest of the way to town and there I met Rainbow. “So, what are we doing exactly?” She asked. “We’re going to fill this pool with pudding and place it underneath the cloud that you are going to make look like a bed and replace Pinkie’s with.” I answered. “Wait… Pudding, really?” She asked. “Yep. She will probably already know what’s going to happen but, she’ll let herself fall for it anyways.” I stated. “So, where’s the cloud?” I asked. “I have it near my house so it doesn’t attract attention.” She said quietly. 1 hour and 17 bits later “To bad we won’t see what happens.” Dash said solemnly. “Yeah, though, I am glad I left that letter asking for a truce for now.” I said. “What, why?” She asked . “Because, I don’t want to find anymore naked mares in my bed that weren’t there by choice.” I answered. She blushed heartily. “Ok, I get it.” She answered. We were sitting down at a table at Sugarcube Corner then were heard a loud thump from upstairs and laughing. “Huh, that happened quicker than I thought it would.” I said, more to myself than anyone else. After a couple seconds Pinkie, who was completely clean, bounced down the stairs with a huge smile on her face and my note in her hand. “That was funny and delicious. Truce accepted for now. So, how did you two like mine?” She asked. We both blushed madly. Her smile only grew. “OH! I know what I want my favor to be. Sorry Dashie, I’m going to borrow Tec for a bit.” Pinkie spouted out as she grabbed my arm and bounced away with me in tow. We exited the bakery and she continued forward for a while before I could get my arm loose, damn earth ponies are strong, I thought. “So, what is the favor?” I asked. “You’re going to spend the whole day with me.” She said as she smiled, I heard the squee once again. “Ok, no problem. I kind of wanted to spend some time with you anyways.” I said smiling. I looked at her and saw that she was wearing a light purple dress with short sleeves that came down to the middle of her thighs. She had two blue, balloon earrings on at the bottom of her ears and I also noticed that she had three more piercings in each ear. They were small, simple, silver beads. I, also, noticed that Pinkie Pie was probably the most endowed of the mane six, her only possible rival being Fluttershy. I pulled her into a hug, which she happily returned. “Pinkie Pie, you are really huggable you know that?” I said. “Aww thanks.” She answered. “So where to first?” I asked. “Don’t know. What do you want to do?” She asked. “Well, you know any good areas to swim?” I asked. “Ooo! That sounds fun! Let’s go!” She stated excitedly and pulled me off quickly. After around five minutes we were in the park next to a pretty decent sized pond. I smiled. “This is going to be fun.” I said as I looked around. Seeing nobody, I stripped down to my underwear. Pinkie Pie was wide eyed. “What?” I asked smirking. “Like what you see?” Pinkie blushed. Then, she looked thoughtful. Then, shrugging, she too stripped down to her under clothes. My eyes got very wide as I saw her dark red bra, that was just barely holding her in, and panties, her huggable soft stomach and cute belly button. “What? Like what you see?” She asked giggling. I just nodded an affirmative. She blushed again at my bluntness. I smiled and jumped strait into the water. I found that the pond was pretty deep and I didn’t touch the bottom even as I sank a few feet into the water. I saw Pinkie enter from under the water and we surfaced at the same time. I splashed her and laughed, she returned the favor and we both laughed. I dove down to see how deep it was. I found that it was around thirteen feet deep. When I surfaced again Pinkie had disappeared I looked around wondering where she had gone. After about a minute I began to panic a bit, suddenly I got glomped from behind, Pinkie’s large breasts pressed against my back. I fought a boner and dove back down. She released her arms and I turned around under the water. I smiled as I had a devious thought. I swam up to her stomach and tickled her. I heard muffled laughter and she began to kick around a bit. I swam up further and surfaced and began to tickle anywhere I could reach without touch her inappropriately. We played around in that pond for somewhere around six hours before we finally got out and dressed again. I looked up and saw that the sun was setting. “Pinkie, this was really fun. Thank you.” I said as I pulled her into a hug she returned it and laughed. “Today’s not over yet silly. Come on let’s head over to Twilight’s.” She said. I shrugged and began walking in that direction. I was tired but in a good way and not so tired that I was going to fall on my face anytime soon. A song came to mind and I smiled and began to hum the tune. Pinkie, who was bouncing in front of me stopped. “Is that what I think it is?” She asked turning around with a huge smile on her face. “Probably. Why?” I answered. “I don’t know how you know that song but, now we are going to sing!” She said in a sing-song voice. “Oh, this is going to be awesome.” I said as my smile grew. “I’m going to sing it a bit differently though.” I continued. “Ok!” She said just before beginning her song. I began at the same time singing with a nice baritone. My name is Bubble Berry (Hello!) And I am here to say (How ya doin'?) I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day It doesn't matter now (What's up?) If you are sad or blue (Howdy!)

All in all it was nice. Soon we found ourselves outside of Twilight’s home and both of us were laughing loudly. Pinkie opened the door and we walked in. We were laughing so hard that I didn’t question why it was completely dark and when I finally caught my breath the lights flashed on and every pony yelled out ‘Surprize!’ as a few party poppers went off. I jumped a bit at that. Then, I smiled widely and looked to Pinkie. “So, I am getting my Pinkie Party now, I take it.” She giggled and nodded. “Tec,” I heard a voice try to get my attention, I turned and found Applejack with two mugs in her hands. “Howdy pardner, y’all wanna try some cider?” She asked. “Hell yeah, I love cider.” I said as I took the offered mug and drank some. It tasted wonderful, sweet but, not overly so, with a heady cinnamon spice to it. I also felt a small burning in the back of my throat that I recognized. “Hm… I’ve never had hard cider before. Warning: I am a light-weight and I have no inhibitions when drunk.” I said to AJ. “Please spread that around a bit AJ. I don’t want anyone to think badly of me because of tonight.” She nodded and said. “Alraht. Will do. Hope you have fun.” She walked off and I heard her start talking to someone. I downed the mug of cider and looked for the refreshment table. I saw it near the stairs and began to make my way there. On the way I said hello to a few ponies, got a few names and shook a few hands. Once I got there, I saw that it was piled with food. Oh this is going to be delicious. I thought as I took a plate and put a little of everything on it. I also found the wooden keg of cider near the table. I filled my mug once more and sat back listening to the music and sipping from my mug with my eyes closed. “Hey, Tec! Awesome party huh!” A voice said. “Yeah, it’s totally off the hook Dash.” I said to her without opening my eyes. “Huh… Oh! Ok yeah! The cider’s great!” Rainbow said. “Yeah but, I have to go easy so I don’t get drunk to fast.” I said as I opened my eyes and looked at my mug. “Buck that man! I challenge you to a drinking contest!” She said with bravado. “Fine, fine but, I choose the game.” I said. “Wait, what do you mean game?” She asked. “Why just have a drinking contest? Why not make it a bit more challenging and more fun?” I said smiling. “That sounds awesome! What game then?” She practically squeaked. “A little game called beer pong. Do you know what it is?” I continued. “Uh… no.” She said confused. “Well first we are going to need to get to an empty table. You go find that and I will get us what we need for it.” I stated. She nodded and took off to find a table. I gathered up twelve empty mugs and realized I needed help. “Watcha’ doin’?” a happy voice asked from behind me. “Going to play a party game with Dash. Pinkie would you mind helping me with these twelve mugs and possibly getting some more help. I need these mugs to be half filled with water. I also need a small Ping-Pong ball, two shot glasses and for the cider to be moved to where Dash is.” I listed. “Ok.” Pinkie said as she scanned the room a bit then took off. She soon returned with Twilight and Applejack. “So, yer playin’ a drinkin’ game with RD?” Applejack asked. “Yep, did Pinkie explain what I needed?” I answered. “Yes she did. To be honest I am curious as to what this game entails.” Twilight said smiling. Twilight’s aura coated the mugs as she levitated them up and took them all into the kitchen. Applejack smiled and said. “Ah’m a might curious about this game too.” She lifted up the keg and asked. “How’s it played?” “Stick around to watch and you’ll find out. I have to explain it to Dash as well.” I answered as I looked for Rainbow. I saw her flying above the crowd. She pointed down then, flew down. I walked over to where she was and had AJ put the keg down near the table. She took a seat on the top of it careful not to block access to it. Pinkie had followed too and pulled two shot glasses and a Ping-Pong ball out of her hair. “Rainbow fly up and get Twilight’s attention when you see her, she has the mugs we need.” “Alright.” She said as she flew up. Pinkie set the shot glasses on either side of the table and gave me the ball. “AJ, you wanna be our ‘bar-tender’ for the game?” I asked her. “Sher, why not.” She answered. I handed her my shot glass and got Pinkie to hand her the other one. “Fill ‘em up. When Twilight gets here we can begin.” AJ did so and handed both glasses back. Dash flew down soon after and eyed the shot glass. She reached out to grab it but, I stopped her. “Don’t drink that yet. That is part of the game.” I said. Twilight soon got to the table. I grabbed two of the mugs and began setting up my end of the table. When I was done it looked like a triangle with six cups. I had seen that Twilight had set up the other side following my example. “UBERFUNPARTYGAMECOMPETITIONBETWEENRAINBOWDASHANDTEC!” Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs. The music turned down a bit and everyone began looking our way. “Well ok then, looks like we have an audience. This game can be played one on one or in teams we are playing one on one. You and I will bounce this ball until one of us makes it into the other’s cup and the other doesn’t to decide who will go first. You either play by the Elbow or Wrists rule, in which you either have to keep your elbow or your wrists behind the table. We will be playing by the wrists rule. There is Re-wracking in which you can ask for the cups to be rearranged before you take your turn. If you are playing with more than six cups you may do this at six, four, three or two cups. Six cups are made into a triangle. Four cups are made into a diamond. Three cups are made into a triangle. Two cups are set one right in front of the other. You can always request for the last cup to be pulled back and centered. You can always ask for the cups to be fixed. This is not racking. You are just asking for the cups to be returned to the position where they would have been if they hadn’t slid or been knocked out of position. Bitch cup is one of my favorite rules. If you make it into the cup that your opponent is drinking out of, even if it is set on the table you win, period. Rollbacks is another cool rule. After you shoot the ball, if it comes back to you without touching the floor it is your turn again. You may also snatch it mid-air. Solo cup is a fun rule that can backfire. Once per game you can call out a specific cup that isn’t touching another cup, those that slid away instead of being singled out by the other cups around it being hit do not count. If this cup is hit then you pull that cup and one other of your choice, from your cups, out of the game. If a different cup is hit no cups are removed. Also, no magic and no flying.” Once I finished telling them the rules I smirked and looked at Rainbow. “You ready?” I asked. “Psh, I was born ready.” She answered with a smirk of her own. She set the mug she was drinking from on a small round table off to the side that had a lamp on it. Then she sat back a smug look on her face. I tossed the ball and it went into the cup in the middle. She tossed the ball back and landed it in the same cup. We went back and forth like this for a while until I missed and she hit. “Looks like you go first.” I said as I passed the ball to Pinkie and Pinkie passed it to Dash. “Of course, I’m awesome.” She said as she tossed the ball into the cup in the back. I removed the cup and took the shot. I handed it to AJ who filled it up again. I stretched a bit and cracked my neck. I thought for a bit then smirked. “Awesome enough to lose with grace?” I questioned Rainbow. “Pfft, I don’t lose.” She answered. “We’ll see.” I said still smirking. Then I took a breath, steadied my hand and took the shot. The ball bounced off of the edge of the table causing it to break towards the round table and strait into Dash’s drink. “Ha, you overshot!” She said smiling. “Nope, I got it exactly where I wanted it.” I said. “You wanted to miss?” She asked confused. “I didn’t. Bitch cup.” I answered simply still smiling deviously. “Pinkie five more shot glasses please. I want Dash to take her shots one right after another because she just lost.” I continued. Rainbow’s eyes went wide. Pinkie pulled out the five shot glasses, from nowhere it seemed, and AJ filled them. AJ was fighting laughter and Pinkie was smiling widely. Even Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity were giggling a bit. Dash growled a bit and slammed her shots one right after another. “Rematch!” Was all she said after that. She won that game and the subsequent one. I won the two after that. It was about two hours later and I was completely smashed and giggling to myself. There were still ponies playing beer pong. Pinkie walked up to me after a bit. “Hey Tec! Havin’ fun?” She asked. “C’mon Pinkie, this is a Pinkie Party, those are always going to be fun.” I managed doing my best not to slur, as such I was talking a bit faster. A song started playing that caught my attention. I grabbed Pinkie’s hand and said, “Dance with me Pikie.” She giggled and followed me to the dance floor. We danced and flailed and shook for the next few hours. It only ended because I ended up smacking myself on the ear with my arm and I crumpled onto the floor and began laughing. Pinkie looked worried for a bit until I started laughing, then she laughed too. Then I yawned. “Pinkie, are you sober enough not to fall?” I asked. “Yepperooni.” She answered. “Can you take me back to Fluttershy’s cottage? I’m starting to pass out.” I said. “Okie dokie lokie.” She said as she put my arm around her neck to keep me up. She was slightly taller than Flutters but not by much. She took me to the door and I turned my head back to everyone and said way over the music. “Gotta go! I’m getting’ really, really tired! See ya everybody!” I heard some good byes and some laughs. I giggled as well. We walked for a bit in the slightly cold air. I had a thought then. “Pinkie when’s your birthday?” I asked with a smile on my face. “It’s May third which is sixty-one days from now. I’m going to be turning twenty-three this year.” She said happily. “Awesome, awesome. My birthday is March twenty-eighth and I’ma be twenty-four.” I said giggling. Pinkie gasped loudly. “Ohmygoshyourbirthdayisintwenty-fivedays!” She spouted out a little loudly. “Mhmm.” I managed as I struggled to keep myself awake. A song popped up into my head and I decided to belt them out rather than fall asleep. Pinkie giggled at my drunken antics. When we finally got to the cottage and she got me to the bed she hugged me and went to leave but, before she could do much more than turn around I grabbed her hand. “um… sorry… I… I am… terrified of being alone…” I managed quietly. Pinkie smiled sweetly. “Ok, I’ll stay with you for a while.” She said softly. I laid down on the bed and she sat down on it. After a while I had the urge to pull her down with me and, as I hand no inhibitions to stop me right then, I did so. She gasped a bit as I threw the blanket over her and snuggled her a bit. “Pinkie, you are one of the most selfless people I know. All you want to do is make everyone happy and you will go at great lengths do… to do… so. I adore you.” I said. I felt her heat up a bit as she snuggled into my chest a bit and wrapped her arms around me and muttered. “Thank you.” I felt wetness on my shirt that I assumed to be tears and put my arms around her and pulled her even closer. I nuzzled into her hair and could smell the sweet smell of cupcakes coming from it. I laughed a bit and kissed her on the top of her head. She heated up even more and I drifted off to sleep.
A coronation, a new friend and untold rage(edited)A coronation, a new friend and untold rage The next few days were nice, I spent a lot of time with Applejack trying to get rid of my slight compulsion to lie and in return I helped her with some of her chores. We made some real headway on my habit and I didn’t feel the need to lie as much. I also spent a fair amount of time with Fluttershy, while it was a fact that I wasn’t the best with animals, that title belongs to Flutters, I certainly wasn’t bad. However most of my knowledge of animals comes from books not from interactions… as such a small amount of hilarity ensued when Anubis tried to get at a squirrel, the squirrel ran up a tree and Anubis barked at the bottom. I tried calming him down a bit, a lot of good that did me, but, the squirrel jumped from the tree and spread all four of its legs out causing the furry membrane between them to spread out as it glided to the nearest tree. Anubis tried chasing him even further but, alas, he ended up running face first into the tree the squirrel was going to. Flutters immediately ran up to him to see if he was fine, which ended up with her getting a face full of slobber and a happy bark from my dumb dog. Man, I love him. Anyways, I spent some time with Twilight going over some of the magic theory of this world and was a little surprised at the lack of depth… I didn’t, however, voice this to Twilight. I had a lot of random fun with Pinkie… I’m not sure of how… but… we ended up in Las Pegasus for a day and got hammered… somehow Dash showed up… or maybe she was there the whole time… even with the curse of remembrance… I still lost a good six hours there. I picked up the rest of my clothing from Rarity. She said that my outfit for Twilight’s coronation was done but, wouldn’t show it to me that day. She told me that it was going to be surprise. In return I showed her some of my, very few, designs. She liked all of… one she liked one of them… the rest she smiled painfully at. Oh well, no harm no foul. Finally, the day of the coronation came and I saw my outfit… and oh my damn… that thing was awesome! There was a long sleeved, soft-grey, button up shirt, under a vest that was only slightly darker than Twilight’s fur, with a grey and purple tie, a pair of grey slacks with a streak of purple down the outside of each leg and a pair grey formal shoes to finish it off. If I had to say so myself I was feeling pretty sexy. I got approving comments from all my new friends, though, not as approving as I would have liked. Oh well, can’t look a gift horse in the mouth… that line hurt my brain… I waited for the girls to get ready after arriving at Canterlot for a little while but, when they finally came out… hot damn… These girls went from damn sexy to holy mother of gods fucking beautiful! My eyes went wide with shock at how truly beautiful these girls were… I know the show didn’t prepare me for anything compared to this… even though I had seen these dresses before… I hadn’t seen these dresses before… just… damn… Anyways, Twilight’s procession and speech went fine and everything else went really well as well. The after party is where things went a little bit… south… to say the least. I started the party off by talking to Rarity. “I know I already said it but, thank you so much for this. I feel soooooo good in this outfit.” “You are quite welcome and, if I do say so myself, I think you look rather dashing.” She answered. “Thanks. The first step to looking good is feeling good. The next step is looking good… wait… that didn’t… never mind…” I said as I confused myself a bit. Then, I saw Twilight. “I’ll be back later. I’m going to go congratulate Twilight.” I finished, giving Rarity a huge smile, then, walking towards Twilight. I ended up in line for a bit but, it didn’t particularly bother me. It gave me time to think. I got up to her about five minutes later and was greeted with her saying. “Tec, how are you enjoying the party?” She gave me a hug, which I reciprocated. “This party is really fun but, that wasn’t why I came over here.” I paused and gave her my most sincere smile. Princess Celestia came up to us with a smile on her face as well. She looked at us and said to me. “Tec, we have made our decision. You may tell them of your knowledge.” I smiled even more widely and took a deep breath trying to calm myself. “Thank you… um… I haven’t been calling you Princess all this time have I?” I asked. “No, you have addressed neither my sister, Twilight nor me by our titles.” She said, “Why do you ask my little human?” She continued. I shuddered a bit at how she addressed me. “Please don’t call me that ever again… The reason I ask is I do not wish to be rude. Would you like me to address you as such? Or you Twilight?” I answered. They both shook their heads no with smiles. “Great! Thank you Celestia, for allowing me to spread some of the knowledge that I have, I do not think I will say all of it because I think if certain things are to happen they need to happen for certain lessons to be learned.” “Well, I will respect your wishes on the addressing portion and I thank you for your carefulness. Yet, I wonder, why do you not wish to be addressed as such?” Celestia asked. “I…” I started trying to be careful how I worded this, “didn’t have the greatest reputation with authority figures in my world.” Twilight gasped. “You were a criminal!” Twilight said very worriedly. “No… I just was a very… dominate person… I… kind of… didn’t listen very well… among other things…” I answered not too proud of myself. “I don’t like being reminded that there are those above me, in anything really… not that good of a quality to have… Anyways… Thank you Celestia, I will be careful.” Celestia looked at me very oddly, then, smiled and nodded then walked off to speak to more guests. “Now, Twilight, great job on the speech you gave it was very well spoken. Also, good going with the procession itself, all in all a beautiful coronation.” I smiled at her. “Celestiasaidyoucouldshareyourknowledge! Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeoncomeon!” She spouted out excitedly. I chuckled and playfully rolled my eyes. “I guess, if that is what the Princess wants.” I said overdramatically with a smirk. She smirked back. “That is what the Princess wants.” She said playfully. We both laughed and walked to the buffet. “So, first tell me what was so dangerous about this knowledge in the first place?” She asked. “Well… the danger could be completely imagined or not. I have no clue at the moment and will have to learn some more before I know whether or not my knowledge is even relevant. You see, in my world there is something called a TV, do you know what that is? Sorry, I don’t know what the technology level is here in Equestria.” I started. “No… what is it?” She asked. “A TV is pretty much a more portable machine used to view movies, shows and a lot of other things.” I answered. She nodded not quite understanding. “Well, one of those shows was called My little Pony: Friendship is magic.” I stopped for a second as she became really confused then her eyes went wide with shock as she realized what I was saying. “Yep, that’s right it was about you girls. Personally I absolutely loved the show and I am glad you had me in a spell when I first came here. I would have jumped up and pulled a Pinkie Gasp. However, as I said before, I am not sure how much of this show applies, so far the only thing that has been wrong is the time in-between things and your forms.” I finished. “Our forms?” She said quizzically. “Yeah, you were quadrupeds in the show. I would love to stay and chat with you but, I’m kind of pissing the Ponies off behind me.” I answered then, gave her a huge hug. “Talk to you when we get back to Ponyville.” I said as I walked off. I looked around trying to locate either Pinkie or Luna, having not seen the latter at all during this party. I ended up finding Luna first surprisingly enough. “Hello M…” I faked a cough while I caught myself. “Luna. I heard that I have been allowed to speak of what I know, if it even proves relevant.” I said chuckling a bit. “Yes, Tec you have.” She said with a smile. “So, I do have to say that this is a gorgeous evening you created.” I said smiling my best. “And you look rather beautiful as well.” Luna chuckled as well. “Thank you on both comments. You look nice as well.” She stated. I playfully gasped. “Compliments from Royalty, I am so lucky!” I said before snickering just as playfully. “Seriously though, thank you. So, I do have a question. What do you do for fun?” I asked. “Well, I do lots of things, I read tales and poetry, I watch the stars, I look through Tia’s things, I spar…” She started listing. “Wait… hold on what was that last one?” I asked. “I go through Tia’s things.” She said with a smirk. I shook my head. “No, not that… You spar?” I said with my eyes growing wide with excitement and my mouth curving in a gigantic smile. “Why yes…” She started with a bit of enthusiasm that was soon lost, “but, the guards we have do not put up much of a fight.” She smiled mirthlessly. “Well, they haven’t really been in war, recently, so that is understandable.” I said. “Yes, well… that enjoyment has trickled down to only being with Tia.” She said. “You both spar… Oh this is wonderful.” I said, and when I smiled I heard a squee. “I have an idea. Would you like to spar with me?” I asked. “Oh, do you think you can best me?” She asked smirking. “Probably not.” I said shrugging, “but, I have done dumber things than sparing with a really powerful Princess.” I answered. “Like?” She asked. “Um…” I thought, “Well, I threatened a god before.” Her eyes went wide with disbelief. “Though you and your sister are close to Demi-gods so, this is a close second.” I said smiling. “Right… so are you sure?” She asked. “Positive. Rules?” I asked. “Well, I will handicap myself with no magic and no wings. You may use any weapon you wish.” She simply stated. I started smiling playfully but, still obviously deviously. “What?’ “You gave me a huge plus in this. I may not have as big of a plus as you but, I still have one. Shall we go to somewhere, where we may play?” I asked. “I will use a katana, if you have one.” “Yes we shall and yes we do. Follow me.” She said as we made our way through the crowd. She ushered a few guards to us and whispered something to them. They nodded and left quickly. “I have told them to inform the other guards what is happening as well as get you your weapon.” She said. Some ponies had grown a bit of interest in what we were doing and had begun to follow us. “It seems that we are going to have a bit of an audience.” I tittered. She smiled and continued to walk. We ended up in, what would have been, without the audience, a particularly secluded expanse of the castle’s courtyard. I did some stretches before sitting down for some pre-spar meditation. After about a minute or so, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and saw that my sword had been brought. I looked at Luna and saw that she had changed her outfit, via magic and was stretching. I smiled and turned towards the blade behind me, making sure that my actions could not be seen by Luna. “Can you make it so that my knife won’t cut or stab or cause any real damage?” I asked the Unicorn guard in front of me. He nodded and I pulled my trusty blade out and held it out of sight as he cast his spell. I put the knife back in my pocket and grabbed the katana. “Thank you sir.” I said. “With pleasure.” The white Unicorn answered back. Then he made his way back to the crowd. “Hey, Luna. Are you ready?” I asked as I turned around. “Quite.” She answered, two English style short swords in hand. I smiled and readied my blade in front of me with two hands, having had tied the sheath to my waist. Then I thought. “Hey, can you magic me up more suitable sparing clothing for me, no metal armor though.” She nodded and I was soon in padded armor. “Thanks.” I said. I then looked her in the face, my expression completely different than it had been all night. I took a breath and closed my eyes for just a moment, but in that moment I felt a short sword crash down upon my leg causing it to buckle. I quickly opened my eyes and took an upwards slash, more to get her to back off than anything. Surprisingly, it almost got her. I stood up, albeit shakily. “Yep, definitely the second dumbest thing I’ve done. Oh well, no take backs.” I spoke to myself then I smiled, took another breath and quickly brought myself forward. I brought my sword down and while she blocked that I took my knife out and quickly brought it up to her throat. She noticed it last minute and blocked it. I smiled with both of my weapons out. Then suddenly sheathed my sword and put my knife away. Luna raised an eyebrow. “Are you standing down?” She asked confused. “Nope.” I answered simply. Thinking I was an easy target with my weapons sheathed she came at me with abandon. I smiled even wider and quickly pulled past her while slamming my quickly unsheathed blade into her stomach and sheathing it just as quickly. I quickly turned around and pulled myself into a more suitable stance. Luna was bent over coughing. I pulled myself up behind her and pulled out my knife. I put the blade against her throat and said. “Do you yield?” She started laughing a bit between coughing and I soon found myself on the ground with my weapons out of reach and swords pressed against my throat. “No. Do you yield?” She questioned. I laughed heartily. “I yield, I yield.” I said happy that I had gotten as far as I did. “You are a fantastic fighter but, I can see that dexterity is more your cup of tea.” I continued as she helped me up. “What does tea have to do with fighting or dexterity?” She asked highly confusedly. “It’s a figure of speech. It means that you prefer using dexterity rather than strength in a fight.” I answered as I handed the katana back to the unicorn that gave it to me and had him remove the spell on my knife, after which I pocketed it. “Luna, I have to say. That was rather enjoyable, even if I did get my ass handed to me.” I said, turning towards her once more. “I did not hand you a donkey?” She stated confused once more. “It’s another figure of speech. It means that you beat me quite badly.” I answered. She nodded and chuckled. “Now, I do have to apologize but, I should go back inside. We should do this again sometime in the near future.” I said. “Also, would you mind turning my clothing back?” “Yes we should.” She said answering my first statement. “Also, I do not mind it no.” she finished as she nodded and her magic coated my clothing once more, changing it back to what it was. I smiled and offered her a hug. She stared at me for a moment not understanding. I giggled a bit and pulled her into a hug, getting a scoff from several around me. At first it didn’t register in her head what was happening but, soon she smiled and wrapped her arms around me, returning my hug. We parted and I resisted the urge to kiss her cheek. I walked back into the party and was immediately barraged by a Pink blur. “Tec!Howareyoudoing?Thisisawonderfulparty.Don’tyouthinksotoo?” Pinkie spouted out quickly. I laughed at her antics and answered. “Hey Pinkie. I’m doing fine and yes this party is really good.” I pulled her into a hug that she readily returned. “So, um… wanna know how I knew your song and what other songs I know?” I asked, my mind wandering back to the excitement of being able to share my knowledge. Pinkie gasped. “You can tell us?!” I nodded my head. “Oh, yesyesyesyes!” She continued. “Um… I heard your songs from a TV show called My little Pony: Friendship is magic. It was one of my favorite forms of entertainment and… my favorite character…” I began to blush madly then I cleared my throat… “um… my favorite character was named Pinkie Pie…” “Wow! That’s my name!” She said smiling… as I realized she didn’t get it… “Um… the show was about you and the girls… and… you… you were my favorite character…” I said quietly, suddenly not wanting to talk so much about this. Pinkie jumped up and gasped. “You mean… you knew us before we knew you! You watched us do stuff?! You watched us party! I’m your favorite?!” She spouted out quickly. “um… yeah…” I said quietly as I started to deflate and become duller, “I think I sh…” I started. “That is soooo cool! You must really like parties if I was your favorite!” I quickly inflated as my color returned. “Yeah… I do like parties… but… um… that… that wasn’t the reason you were my favorite…” I continued in a bit of shock. “Then why me…” she countered, I could see that she was shocked by this. “Well… truthfully… I think you, while not the most generous, are the most selfless person I have ever seen.” Confusion played out on her face. “You do your best to make everyone smile. In fact you’re happiest when all of your friends are smiling. Also, watching you on the show helped me to find my smile when I was contemplating ending myself…” I said the last part very softly while looking at the ground. Pinkies eyes grew wide and she started to tear up. She pulled me into the most endearing hug I have ever had the pleasure of having which I reciprocated. “Hey Tec. Hey Pinkie. What’s up?” We heard Rainbow Dash ask. Pinkie pulled away from the hug and, with tears still threatening to spill, gave me the most beautiful smile I have ever seen then kissed my cheek. My eyes went wide as saucers and my hand went up to my cheek. She looked to Dash and wiped her tears away, sniffling a bit. “I just learned that I made Tec smile even before he came to Equestria.” She said in a semi quiet voice before she walked off, seemingly in a happy daze. “Ok… what was that all about?” Dash asked me. I slowly brought my hand down and looked at Rainbow. “I… I… I jus… just told her…th… that…” I paused and took a deep calming breath and explained to Dash what I did to Pinkie. She seemed to be speechless for a moment. “Well… at least I understand why she did that…” She stated shocked. “Wait… what the hay! I actually understood Pinkie!” She chuckled a bit. “I guess some things are the same between mares no matter what.” She continued giggling. “Wha…?” I asked. “You’ll see.” She smirked and raced off. “Well, that was weird.” I said as I turned around and began walking around. “Hmm… you’re a rather strange creature.” A male voice stated. A bit confused I turned towards him. He seemed to be a brownish-grey pony with a black mane and a red tail he had his hand under his chin, stroking his long white beard in thought. I stared at him trying to think of who this pony was. He seemed familiar. Then I saw his eyes, yellow iris with a red pupil. I smiled. “Coming from you, Discord, that might be a compliment.” I snickered as his mouth dropped in shock. “What, has Fluttershy not told you about me?” I asked. He tensed up and his eyes narrowed to pinpricks as he held himself in an angry pose. “No.” Was all he said. I could feel his anger but, underneath that, I could feel the purpose for his anger. …hmm… looks like my empathic abilities are growing stronger… I thought. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt her and I am not trying to court her.” I said smiling. All of his anger disappeared and was replaced by fear and confusion. “Yes I know that you have fallen for her and no I can’t read thoughts. I am just good a picking up emotions.” I stated. The fear, while still there lessened a bit. The confusion was still just as strong. “How did you know who I was though?” He asked. “Your eyes and beard give you away, mostly your eyes though. You are the only being I have seen in this world that has yellow eyes with red pupils.” I answered. I smiled hugely. “You wanna know a bit of what I know?” I asked with a huge smile. He nodded hesitantly. “Come see me at Fluttershy’s cottage in a few days. There are some things that I have to explain and some things that I want to know. Just so you know I think that you are really cool and would love to be your friend, if you would have me as one.” I said, my smile growing. “Wait… you think I’m… cool… and want to be my friend?” I nodded my head happily. “Why?” “Firstly, I myself am highly chaotic and love to trip people up. Secondly, I understand that chaos is a necessity in life. Perfection,” I spat out the last word like it was a piece of rotten food, “is utterly and completely boring. Perfect harmony,” I continued, “leads, ultimately, to stagnation and later on destruction.” I paused for a moment. “I want to be your friend because you are a cool person and I want to get to know you.” I finished. He stared at me wide eyed before a huge grin plastered itself to his face. “You, my new friend, are bucking brilliant. I could just kiss you. In fact I think I will.” He moved in to fake a kiss. I smiled evilly causing him to pause. In that moment, I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him towards me, giving him a very intimate kiss. He didn’t struggle for a little while, still recovering from the shock, but, once he started to I let go and pulled back laughing. “Don’t try to prank me like that. Next time I think I’ll slip in a bit of tongue.” I said still laughing. His eyes were wide with shock for a while until he too began to laugh heartily. “I see you have made a new friend.” I heard Celestia say from behind me, a slight chuckle in her voice. “Oh, yes and this one, I believe, will be exquisitely amusing.” Discord stated. “Oh?” Celestia stated quizzically. “Yep, someone has to keep old Dissy here on his toes.” I said laughing. “Tec, I think…” Celestia started before I interrupted her by putting a finger up and hushing her with a very serious face. I listened for a bit trying to pinpoint the rage and fear I was feeling. “…ou bucking skank. How dare you treat a prince like you did.” I heard a voice I recognized as prince Bluebloods. My face contorted into a slight grimace. “Buck you, you miserable…” I heard a female voice, that I soon realized was Rarity’s, start before I heard a loud smack. My face contorted further as rage filled my being. “Excuse me for a moment I have to go do something.” I said in as calm a voice as I could muster. Celestia and Discord noticed my rage. “What do you have to go do?” Discord asked. “Take out the trash.” I answered in an almost growl. I made my way towards the sound of crying the crowd moving out of my way once they got a good look at my face. I finally got to them after my small walk. My rage had only grown but, I still managed to keep a modicum amount of control. “Hey your royal dick facedness! Did you just fucking hit her?” I said to the white unicorn. He was a few inches taller than me but, I didn’t give a shit. “Why would I have to answer to you peasant.” He mocked. My control cracked a bit. “BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T I AM GOING TO TEAR YOUR FUCKING HORN OFF AND RAM IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!!” I shouted in the Royal Whee. He seemed slightly startled but, his pride kept him from showing much. “You dare threaten a prince. I could have you imprisoned for treason!” He said angrily. “Firstly, yes I dare threaten a prince. Secondly, I don’t give a shit! No one, and I mean NO ONE gets away with harming my friends. Thirdly, how dare you even claim to be a prince, you are just a royal dick!” I continued in the Royal Whee, while lessening the volume a bit. His face contorted with rage and he slapped me with quite a bit of force. I could feel my heart beat slamming in my chest as the last bit of control I had shattered. For a while my rage just built. He stood there with a smug expression on his face as I stood there silently shaking. He mistook the shaking for fear. “What happened, coward, I thought no one, and I mean no one, got away with hurting your friends. You and this cunt should just leave before my mercy runs out.” He mocked. I clenched my fist and brought my eyes up to look at him. Just as our eyes met all of the windows in the room burst outwards. My hand slammed forward as I gripped his throat. I began to lift him off of the ground in my rage. I wanted him to die. I wanted to incinerate his body until there was nothing left. He let out a strangled scream as steam came off of his throat where my fingers were digging in. I let out a feral growl and brought him closer so that my mouth was next to his ear. “Do you want to find out why humans are the number one predators, meat?” I said quietly and harshly. I heard a collective gasp behind me and turned my head to see who it was. Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Discord all had looks of disbelief and fear in their eyes. Pinkie though… Pinkie had tears streaming down her face. In that moment I regained my control and dropped the, now, unconscious stallion. I muttered, “I’m sorry.” Tears broke loose from my face as I turned and ran as fast as I could. I ran without looking and soon found myself hopelessly lost in a hedge maze. I sat down against a hedge wall and bawled. “Great… just fucking great! I fucking lost it! I just couldn’t control my anger could I!” I berated myself. A song started up in my head that normally popped up when I was hating on myself. I started to sing. “I had to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head They crawled in like a cockroach leaving babies on my bead Dropping little reals of tape, to remind me that I’m alone Playing movies in my head that make a…” I stopped singing because for some odd reason singing that song didn’t seem like the right thing to do. I was slightly confused. Another song popped up. “When the days are cold and the cards all fold and the saints we see are all made of gold When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail are the worst, of all and the blood’s run stale” Pinkie moved into the small clearing I was in. I continued like nothing happened without skipping a beat. “I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you but with the beast inside there’s nowhere we can hide No matter what we breed we still are made of greed this is my kingdom come this my kingdom come” I could hear the music all around me and I could feel the magic. “When you feel my heat look into my eyes it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide Don’t get to close it’s dark inside it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide” Pinkies beautiful voice came in to the mix as she sang the next line as my voice started to fade out like it was planned. “Curtain’s call is the last of all when the lights fade out all the sinners crawl So they dug your grave and the masquerade will come calling out at the mess you made.” She faded out as I picked it up. “Don’t wanna let you down but I am hell bound though this all for you don’t wanna hide the truth” We sang together. “No matter what we breed we still are made of greed.” She faded out. “This is my kingdom come this is my kingdom come When you feel my heat look into my eyes it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide Don’t get to close it’s dark inside it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide They say it’s what you make I say it’s up to fate it’s woven in my soul I need to let you go Your eyes they shine so bright I wanna save that light I can’t escape this now! unless you show me how! When you feel my heat look into my eyes it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide Don’t get to close it’s dark inside it’s where my demons hide it’s where my demons hide.” My voice echoed a bit at the end as the music faded out. At some point in time during the song Pinkie and I had gotten really close I stood staring into her magnificent cerulean orbs as tears silently streamed down my face. “I’m so sorry… I… I’m sorry…” I choked out. She stared at me silently, her cheeks stained with dry tears. Then, she pulled me into a warm hug and said quietly. “It’ll be ok. I… I forgive you.” She said. I wrapped her in a solid hug of my own as the rest of my friends walked in and surrounded me a group hug. Happy tears streamed down my face as I smiled gratefully. “Tec… I think we all forgive you.” Celestia said from the edge of the clearing. “Yes. While harsh and frightening, you were trying to protect a friend and that in and of its self is admirable.” Luna stated from next to her sister. I chuckled softly as I motioned for them to join in the hug. They smiled and joined in. I could feel a presence behind me. “Come on Discord you’re my friend too.” I said quietly. I heard him chuckle as he joined the hug. When it ended, some five minutes later, I looked at Celestia and Luna. “So… what is going to happen now?” I asked. “Truthfully… we don’t know.” Celestia said quietly as she let one single tear fall from her face.
Tec and Confinement(edited)Confinement and me Unfortunately for me, just because I was forgiven… doesn’t mean that all was well. I still assaulted a member of the royal family, in the middle of one of the biggest, if not the biggest, events in recent history. Thus, I was in Canterlot for a couple days after my little outburst… A knock sounded from the door just as I finished packing away the last of my meager possessions. “Come in.” I said, still bent over my small pack. The door opened and I felt a tinge of worry come from whoever walked in. I turned to tell the pony that I wasn’t going to hurt them but, stopped short upon seeing Celestia with a false smile on her face. Why is she worried? I thought that everything… no I guess it wouldn’t be that easy even in a land of magical ponies with big hearts… I thought. “Please… lose the fake smile…” I managed as I deflated. Her smile instantly disappeared and was replaced with a look of shock. “How… how did you see through me?” She asked genuinely confused. I pointed towards my head and answered quietly. “Back on my world I was what some would call an empath. I can actually feel small twinges of emotions from others. Although since coming to Equestria my sensitivity seems to have increased tenfold.” The joy I normally felt at explaining something was completely gone at this point as I stared at my feet. She seemed to understand what I meant. Then, it dawned on her why I became sad. “Oh no, Tec I wasn’t worried about what you would do. I was worried about you. Unfortunately, because of what happened last night some of the nobles are rallying around Blueblood and are demanding that you be punished.” She explained. I inflated a bit, happy that she didn’t fear me, but not happy that I was going to be punished. “So, what will it be?” I asked sadly. “Banishment? Execution? Something worse?” I continued. “What? Why would… You know, you worry just as much as Twilight does. No, you will be staying here in Canterlot for observation and you will be answering some questions. However you will be confined to this room the entire time you are here.” She said in her normal motherly tone. I could no longer tell if what she was showing was entirely truthful as she had put up mental blocks. “Ok… So, what are you here for the questioning?” I asked as my mood improved a bit more. “Yes. Though, we will have to have somepony in here with us.” She answered. “Well, let ‘em in then.” I stated. “Ok, thank you for understanding.” She said softly as she went to the door and opened it to reveal a dark grey unicorn stallion with a black mane and hazel eyes. He walked in and sat down on a chair near the door. He stayed silent and closed his eyes as his horn lit up with a dull green light. Celestia took a breath and turned towards me. “Tec. What happened last night?” She started. I closed my eyes and did my best to remember my rage induced violence. I explained to them what came to mind and further explained that after I got hit I lost control and my vision narrowed and all I was paying attention to was Blueblood. She nodded and looked over to the grey stallion and he nodded his head. She walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. After we parted she said, “We will have to go over some things now, the fact that you didn’t lie will benefit you in the long run. I will see you in a little while after I take care of Day Court.” “See ya, Celestia.” I said as she and the unicorn left. Execution by boredom then… Gods this is going to suck… I thought to myself. 3rd Person He doesn’t seem to remember that he burnt Blueblood or that the windows exploded when his magical energy spiked. Not to mention the difference in power during that spike… where did he get that much magic… Did he always have it and choose to hide it… or… something else… He didn’t seem to even know… He just suddenly jumped from nearly nothing, far less than even an earth pony… to the level of an average unicorn… with absolutely no control… Should I bring this to his attention… or risk it… and keep quiet… Celestia thought to herself as she walked towards the throne room. Meanwhile back in her Canterlot Loft Library Twilight and Spike were busy unpacking some things that they had gotten on a quick trip back to Ponyville. “Come on Twilight, do we really need to stay here. It’s so far from Ra…” He coughed in the middle of his sentence to cover up what he was about to say, “our friends. Also, what if someone wants to check out a book and we aren’t there to get it to them.” “Spike…” She started, “If you want you can go back to the library and ask if Rarity would like your help. I, on the other hoof, need to stay here.” Spike looked at her excitedly and nodded his head in affirmation. She charged up a powerful teleportation as she focused on her Golden Oaks Library and let the magic free. They appeared in the middle of the Library and Spike immediately ran off to get Twilight a glass of water, as this level of spell was a bit of a drain on her magic supply. She panted as she waited for him to return. He came back with the glass in hand, which she drank down greedily. She took a deep breath, charged her spell again and appeared back in her Canterlot loft. A tired sigh came from her as she thought aloud and made her way to her bed, “Well, he’s not going anywhere for some time and I don’t have anything else to do today. A nap couldn’t hurt.” She fell into it and passed out the second her head touched her pillow. 1st Person I have been in here with nothing to do for five fucking hours. I thought poisonously as my stare bore holes in the clock trying to will time to speed up. I had asked the guards if one of them could get me a book and both had simply looked forward stoically like statues and, to be honest, after watching them for a while it unnerved me. I closed the door and laid down to try to take a nap to pass the time, to no avail. After almost an hour I stopped trying and began to look around at the room taking in all of the details. After the fifth time my gaze passed over of the entire room I looked at the clock and was flabbergasted. All my observations took me a good… half an hour… half of a fucking hour. At this point I was so bored I, half-jokingly, thought that maybe suicide was a better option than this boring hell. I tried to create a story in my head that I could enact to pass the time but, the boredom had already corrupted the creative center in my brain and I came up blank. Suffice it to say, three and a half hours later… I was not happy… in fact one could even call my mood caustic. I paced around the room and grumbled to myself as I tried to find something to do. My mood soured further as I heard a knock on the door. That’s just fucking perfect. Let’s go ask the pissed off prisoner some dumb questions and see what happens and while we’re at it lets poke him with a stick. I thought condescendingly. “Open.” I griped. In walked a smiling Twilight. Whether or not she noticed my mood getting worse was irrelevant but, I wager that she didn’t. “So you stayed behind. Spike here with you?” I managed in as calm a voice I could muster, which just made me sound empty. “No. He decided to stay and help Rarity in Ponyville.” She answered while looking at a scroll in her hands. “Ok. I have a lot of questions to ask.” She squeed in delight. “If you don’t mind, I would pref…” I started but was cut off by Twilight’s rambling. “Oh, the things we can talk about!” She closed her eyes and bounced from hoof to hoof. “I really don…” I was cut off once more and my sour mood just turned worse. “Like how you…” I cut her off by screaming. “TWILIGHT!” Her face was one of shock. My horrid mood made me want to play off the thing that would get her to leave and my face contorted to a frown. “I don’t think I can learn much, if anything, from you. Your understanding of things is mostly shallow. Even your understanding of your own destiny is meager.” The shocked look on her face changed to one of hurt, then one of anger. I immediately knew that I had fucked up but, I couldn’t bring myself to care. “My understanding is shallow! You didn’t seem to think that when we were conversing before!” She screamed back. “I was sparing your feelings.” I said as I slowly felt myself falling into an emotionless state. My hair deflated, my colors dulled and my face became impassive. “Oh, so I guess you were sparing my feelings when you said you wanted to be my friend then!” She retorted as she slapped me and one lone tear fell down her cheek. I felt the slightest pinch of guilt at that point as my emotionless façade slowly began to crumble. “No… I wasn’t. I really did want to be your friend.” I answered. “Well, THIS isn’t how friends behave.” She stated back her voice tinged with anger and pain. I looked down to the ground as what I did came back to me. “Well, now you know why I didn’t have any friends back where I am from. My anger is a problem and it splashes onto everybody.” I said slowly. “I’m sorry… I know that what I said was horrible and wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t forgive me. If it makes you feel any better, I actually think that you are probably more knowledgeable than me for the most part.” I finished as I turned towards the bed. “Throughout my lessons of friendship my friends and I have made many mistakes but, friends forgive each other. Now, why were you so angry?” She said. “Um… it’s… the reason is stupid.” I answered. “No reason is stupid. Come on tell me.” She tried to coax the answer out “This reason is hardly even a reason.” I retorted. “Come on.” She tried again. “Ok… Ok… it is still stupid though. I was… bored… my boredom pissed me off.” I answered. “Um… so… it had nothing to do with me?” She said slightly confused. “My boredom made me want to be antisocial… I kind of get that way when I am reading a book as well… Just not as angry as quickly… that only happens when I am repeatedly interrupted…” I confessed as a blush made its way across my cheeks. “Well… I guess I can sort of understand that…” She said clearly not quite understanding. “Don’t worry too much about it. I realize that it’s stupid. I wasn’t kidding when I said I didn’t have many friends before. I kind of pushed people away.” I answered, obviously not proud of my previous habits. “Well, just be careful. Um… sorry for slapping you.” She said after thinking a bit. “Don’t worry about it. I was being a dick and deserved it.” I stated. “So, um… you said you had questions and things you wished to talk about?” I reminded her. “Hm… OH Yes! How did y…” She started before a knock on the door interrupted her. “Sorry, one second.” I apologized to Twilight. “Yes, come in.” I directed towards the door. The door opened to reveal Celestia and Luna’s smiling faces. I could feel no ambient emotion and decided to challenge myself a bit to see exactly how strong my sensitivity had grown. As I focused on the three Alicorn mares in front of me I could feel Twilight’s slight frustration at being interrupted once more that was tinged with conflicted feelings but, that was overwhelmed by her happiness at seeing her former teacher and her friends. I could feel a slight amount of distrust, like she didn’t believe something that she had said, from Luna towards Celestia. Whilst I still felt nothing from the blocked off Celestia. “Firstly Twilight, it’s ok to feel frustrated with someone you really respect, even if it is Celestia and Luna.” Twilight’s face contorted cutely with confusion, while Luna looked at me blankly and Celestia’s grin grew. I put two and two and two together and figured out what Celestia had told her that Luna didn’t believe. “Yes Luna I can feel others emotions. I have a feeling that Celestia tried to tell you about it and you didn’t believe her.” It was more of a statement than a question. “Yes. She did and no I didn’t. How did you come across this ability?” Luna asked suspiciously. “Don’t know when I really figured out that I had it. My guess would be that it is just something I was born with.” I answered. “Well then, is this ability widespread where you are from?” She asked, her doubt still hanging on every word. “Not really sure about that one either. My mom was one of the only other people I knew that had it. So… probably not.” I answered to the best of my ability. “So wait, is it hereditary?” Twilight interjected as her inner scholar reared its head. “Possibly… it was a bit harder to trace that kind of thing back on my world.” I answered her. Luna lost some of her suspicious gaze. “While this is all very interesting, we actually came here to tell you that we calmed the nobles down.” Celestia interrupted. My eyes widened and my hair puffed out once more returning to its normal color as a smile nearly split my face in twain. “So, it all blew over and I can leave!” I said as I began to bounce in place a bit. “Unfortunately, no, you are still to stay here for a couple days for observation.” Celestia stated. I immediately stopped bouncing and sighed I did not, however, deflate. “Can you at least allow me some books or something then? I was bored out of my mind in here and… I kind of do stupid stuff when I get bored… like…” My voice trailed off as I looked at Twilight with a sad look in my eyes. I subsequently sagged with depression. Celestia and Luna looked at me with a tinge of confusion. “I’m sorry…” Was all I quietly said before I turned away from them and flopped onto the bed face down and began to silently berate myself. “I guess we will leave for now.” Luna stated before I heard the door open for a bit then close. Well, I can’t say that I am to surprised that Luna figured out my need for alone time before anypony else… Wait… did I just think anypony… Eeyup… Well then… I thought to myself before slowly drifting off to sleep. Hey, Tec… are you listening? I heard a very feminine voice say from all around me as I floated in the empty darkness. Gidget? So… now you can actually talk to me in dreams… Wow you gained more presence than I thought. I said without looking around. More than you could possibly know... Gidget’s voice answered. Wait… if you’re gaining presence… has it finally come for me to cease? I asked quietly, dreading the possibilities. No… I don’t think so… We need to think about this some more… She said slowly as if she was, indeed, thinking. A bright light shone through the darkness as I began to wake. Don’t forget! I repeated several times as consciousness took hold. Light streamed through the window reminding me that I forgot to close the curtain the night before. I groaned unhappily and slowly made my way over to the window to shut the curtain. Something struck me as I drew the curtain closed, I had something that I was supposed to remember… but, I couldn’t think of what it could be… Eh… if it’s truly important I’ll remember it later. I thought to myself. I heard a light knock on the door. I yawned a bit and stretched. I felt way better than I did last night, sleep always made me feel better. There was another knock on the door, this time seeming a bit impatient. “Come in.” I said slightly confused. The door opened up to reveal that Twilight was my visitor this morning. She looked slightly annoyed and was wearing a purple, silk nightie… and I could tell that she didn’t have a bra on… My face became very red, very quickly as I began to examine the wall to my left that had suddenly become very interesting. “You sleep very hard you know that…” She said. “All guys do…” I retorted quietly. “What?” She asked. I fake coughed and shook my head. “Nothing. Now what is it you need?” I asked as I brought my eyes to look at her and made it a point to stare directly into her eyes. “Ooookayy… Anyways… I came to ask you what kind of books you would like.” She answered with a shrug. Before you got dressed? I thought before answering. “Anything with romance or anything on magic.” Twilight’s face contorted into a huge grin at the mention of literature on magic her horn glowed as she charged up a spell bright light filled the room just as I closed my eyes. I kept them closed for a few moments as I waited for what, I don’t even know. I opened them when nothing happened and low and behold that is when the room filled up with the magical light of Twilight’s teleportation spell. I blinked, waiting for my vision to return. When it finally returned I was staring directly into the eyes of a wildly smiling Twilight who had gotten extremely close. Needless to say I jumped… well… more like screamed and fell on my ass but, that’s just semantics. On my way back to my feet I saw that Twilight still had yet to get dressed but, had brought a large menagerie of books with her, all floating in her magic. Should I let her know that she’s not dressed or should I just sit back and enjoy it? I thought. I think I’ll just… no I can’t… maybe just a moment more though… My thoughts continued. I watched her for a while as she began to sort out all the books. “… udging by our previous conversations I didn’t think you would need some of the basics but, I still brought them because it never hurts to brush up on things.” I heard her state as I realized she was speaking. “Wait… are you staying here with me?” I asked as she bent over to sort some books and ended up distracting me with her lavender flank and answering two questions I had, whether or not they had cutie marks and if she was wearing anything under her nightie. Yes and… kinda… I thought. Plain white panties… kinda count… my semi-lewd thoughts continued. “Yes. I thought you might want some company.” She stated without turning around. “Oh… Well, thank you.” My face grew red at what I was about to admit. “You might want to get dressed… I can… um… see your panties…” “WHAT?!” Twilight screeched as her face turned six different shades of red in about two point eight seconds. The room filled once more with the bright light of her teleportation. I’m not much of an ass man… but… damn that mare has a nice flank… I thought as I waited for her to return. I walked over and picked up one of the books that were part of the basics and sat down to read. Around two hours later I had gone through three of the smaller books decided two weren’t needed and was half way through the one I had in my hands. The room flashed once more as Twilight entered again. “Feeling better now?” I asked without looking away from the book. “Much. Now, how far have you gotten in that book?” She asked. I took a moment to read the last page of the chapter I was on. “I am on chapter thirteen in this one. I read Your Magic and You, So you want to cast spells and Magicians Codex. I skimmed over Your First Spell and Know Your Limits.” I said as I turned the page. There was a bit of silence before I heard a squee. “So, what book are you reading right now?” She asked. “I picked up one from the second pile called, Crystals and Gemstones. I am quickly finding that this book is lacking in some details though but, whatever. I can experiment to see if certain things that apply from where I am from, apply in this world.” I said as I closed the book and set it down on my ‘finished pile’. I looked at her and smiled. “So, what questions do you have?” I asked. Her eyes were wide for a while before shaking her head and taking a breath. “Well, I know you aren’t a beginner… what grade would you be at though?” She asked herself. “Not that it would help much but, where I am from certain groups separated it out into degrees. First, you have initiate or seeker. Next you have first degree, which works with the basics, such as tools, holidays, how to work with spells, etc. Then you have second degree, which denotes when you start trying to teach others, with guidance. Past that is third degree and clergy. Now I will be the first to admit that I haven’t actually had much formal training but, last time I was ‘evaluated’ I was set at between mid-second degree and high second degree. I can teach with some of the things that I know. Hell, several years ago I was going to teach two students, on my own, but, they decided that they didn’t want me as a teacher before I even began teaching them.” I answered. She looked at me while her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, reminding me of a fish. “Twilight?” I said trying to get her attention. “I… um… I’ll be right back…” She managed as she teleported out of the room. I shrugged and went back to reading. 3rd Person I have to get to Celestia… She needs to know this… Twilight thought to herself as she walked towards the throne room. Many of the guards and servants of the castle bowed their heads as she walked by but, she didn’t notice. She was a mare on a mission. Celestia was in the middle of day court listening to a farmer from the outskirts of Fillydelphia and the owner of a chain of confectioneries, argue over property rights. “That land has been in my family for generations. I would no more relinquish it than I would give up my left hoof!” The farmer, Belle Sprout stated to Celestia. “You have no documents to prove such a claim! Princess Celestia please, listen to reason. I went to the mayor of Fillydelphia and bought the land that this mare stubbornly won’t leave.” The business mare, Cherry Cheesecake, pleaded. Suddenly the doors burst open and Twilight walked in with a look of confusion and wonder plastered on her face. “This case will be held until a later date. You both have two days to bring forth the documentation necessary.” Celestia stated to the two. Cherry Cheesecake seemed to be slightly annoyed by this but, chose not to say anything, while, Belle Sprout seemed to be awash with relief. They bowed and left through the gigantic double doors. Celestia turned to Twilight. “Twilight, my dear, what seems to be the matter?” She asked her in a caring tone. “Tec…” At this Celestia’s heartbeat quickened a bit her mind going directly to the worst possibility, “He… he says that he was to be a teacher of magic… in his old world…” Twilight finally said with a smile plastered to her face. “He said that our advanced book on gemstones and crystals might be missing some information but, he needs to test if some of the same things apply in this world that applied in his. OH Celestia! I have never met somepony who was as interested in magic as he is! I mean, I’ve had discussions with him about it before but… at that point in time he was mostly silent and would only ask questions here and there! I didn’t know he knew that much!” Celestia raised an eyebrow in contemplation and thought for a moment, but… his energy… it’s so… small normally… but there still was that spike… “It seems that I need to speak with him.” Celestia stated as she made her decision. She charged her teleportation spell as Twilight did the same. 1st Person Twilight had been gone for about five minutes before I began to get bored once more and started reading again. I picked up a book that I had heard of before coming here, Super Naturals, and chuckled, remembering the episode. As I read through it I committed a few recipes that seemed like they could be useful, a basic healing salve, a burn salve and a bathing mix designed to cure rashes, down onto some paper that Twilight had brought with her. I felt lucky at this point in time that I had learned how to write with a quill before now. I chuckled as I remembered how difficult it was my first try and how utterly horrid it looked… well, it still looked kind of bad… but, hey at least it was legible… I still had issues writing strait across the page without the guide of lines. Yep… all of the words kind of slope down the page at an angle… I thought while looking at the final product. The bright light of a teleportation spell shone from behind me. I was about to ask Twilight why she had left when a second light shone brightly, effectively cutting me off. I turned around and saw that both Twilight and Celestia had come. “Ok… Day Court should be going on right now… so… To what do I owe the pleasure of your company Celestia?” I asked curiously. “Twilight has told me that you know quite a bit about magic. That you were going to be a teacher in your old world?” She said quizzically. I raised an eyebrow and looked to Twilight and back to Celestia. “Yes. I know a good bit about magic. Well, magic from my world at least and yes, I was going to have students, two to be exact, several years ago. They decided that they didn’t wish to learn from me though. I haven’t tried to give lessons, save for some advice here and there, since.” I answered wondering where this was going. I gave trying to sense Celestia’s emotions another shot. I could feel the excitement practically radiating off of Twilight but, once again found myself unable to tap into what Celestia was feeling. “How can you use magic with so little energy though?” Celestia asked her face seemed genuinely curious but, I still felt that there was something more to this. I chuckled a bit and took a deep breath. I stopped the flow of magical energy going out of my body and immediately felt my stockpile start to grow. Celestia showed no reaction for a while. I smirked and took another deep breath and focused on pulling in energy as well as increasing the production inside me. I felt it skyrocket. Celestia’s calm demeanor cracked a bit but did not break. I took another deep breath and closed my eyes focusing entirely upon the magic inside me and began multiplying the energy. I opened my eyes and saw that both of the Alicorn mares in front of me had looks of astonishment. Then there jaws dropped. A bit confused about their last reaction I cocked an eyebrow and asked. “What?” Celestia and Twilight just blinked for a while before Twilight pointed towards her eyes. This confused me even further. “What, your eyes?” I asked. “No… your eyes… they’re glowing.” Twilight stated slowly. “Wait… What!?” I exclaimed just before I expunged the energy in me. “How… how can you control all the energy in you when you’re overcharged…” Twilight asked. “Overcharged?” I asked. “Yes, the point in which you have focused nearly all of your magic into your… well you don’t have one… but, it happens when a unicorn, or Alicorn focuses almost all of their magic into their horn.” Celestia explained. “How are you not tired after that?” Suffice it to say I wasn’t following her train of thought very well. “Well color me confused… I’m not tired because, while my eyes wouldn’t normally light up, I was just doing a basic energy gathering practice. I didn’t use a spell or anything, not that, that would normally tire me out too badly. Then I just gave the energy back that I had drawn into me.” I answered. Both of their jaws dropped once more. “What?” “You took energy from around you!?” Celestia said slightly panicked, her calm demeanor utterly shattered at this point. “Well yeah…” I answered baffled by her response. “Oh no… oh no, oh no… This can’t be happening…” Twilight began. “Unfortunately it has too…” Celestia began. “What?” I asked, becoming a bit worried. “You are too dangerous to allow you to interact with Equestria… You must leave… or I will have to make you leave…” Celestia said in a low voice that seemed less threatening and more, just, sad. “WHAT?!” I exclaimed. “I would understand if my anger had caused this but, this, really something that anyone can do. Fuckin’ really!” I continued. They stopped momentarily, confused by my words. “What do you mean… something anyone can do?” Celestia asked with a bewildered expression on her face. “I meant exactly what I said. Anyone can do it, any unicorn, any pegasus, any earth pony, any Alicorn, any anything can do it and does do it every day. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day you are doing exactly what I was doing, just subconsciously. If you didn’t you would die.” I answered, absolutely flabbergasted. They looked at each other and back to me. I calmed myself down a bit. “Look, do you know the scientific properties of energy?” I asked. “Yes, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is…” Twilight began, suddenly becoming happy. I cut her off though. “That is the only property that is needed to understand what I am going to tell you. All I did was convert the potential energy around me and inside me into magical energy.” They both looked at me blinking momentarily. Finally a look of realization crosses their faces. “So you didn’t take the magical energy from around you at all?” Celestia asked. “Nope.” I answer. “Meaning doing what you did wouldn’t hurt anypony?” Twilight continued. “Eeyup.” I answered. They both sigh in relief. “Well… now that this has come up. Why did you burn Blueblood?” Celestia asked. “Wait… What now?” I asked. “You burned Prince Blueblood on his neck.” Celestia said. “Well, that is unusual… I will have to do some tests to figure out…” I facepalm as I figure out what has happened. “The magic in this world… I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out… The sheer difference in the viscosity of the magic in this world versus where I’m from, I mean come on, the fact that even the air tastes different should have told me that!” I rambled off while pacing. “Anyways, to answer your question, it is because I lost control. I will have to try much, much harder to keep in control from now on, seeming as how my rage has become a quite bit more dangerous. Luckily, I have to actually focus to build up energy that quickly.” I say, turning my gaze back to Celestia. Then I feel a sudden pulse inside me. My face contorts in confusion. “What?” I hear Twilight ask just before the world goes dark. 3rd Person “What?” Twilight asks when Tec’s face suddenly becomes that of extreme confusion. Then, just as suddenly his face and body seem to tense up and he lets out a blood curdling scream that chilled both the Alicorn mares to the bone. His legs gave out and he dropped to the ground. He stared at them blankly as his face and body begin to twitch and draw further into himself. He blew raspberries and ended up with drool all over him. Twilight and Celestia noticed that his drool was tinted red. Finally it clicked in their heads what was happening as the seizure ended just as suddenly as it began. “Twilight, begin asking him basic questions about you, your friends and himself. I will go and get a doctor.” Celestia said before teleporting away. Twilight did just that. 1st Person “Who am I?” I heard a female voice asking as my vision started to clear up a bit. My memory was still hazy but I knew who was speaking. “You’re… Twilight… um… Twilight Sparkle.” I answered. “Alright and who are you?” Twilight asked. The haze coating my brain seemed to lift quite a bit as I became annoyed by her question. “I’m Tec!” I nearly shouted. My vision cleared to the point where I could actually see the people around me. At first I was scared and confused as I couldn’t remember how I got to Equestria. I calmed down as my memories flooded into my head and I began to feel the aching in my body and the pain in my mouth… Then, I realized exactly what had happened. I looked to Twilight with a sad expression. “How long did it take?” I asked. Though with my slightly swollen tongue it sounded like ‘hou lowng dihd ih tayk’. “It’s been two hours since your seizure started.” Twilight said with a sad expression. Her face was coated in dry tears. I sighed sadly. “A’m shawry…” I said as I pulled her into a hug that was quickly reciprocated as she began crying softly into my shoulder. I noticed Celestia with a scared expression on her face and a pony that I guessed was a doctor standing near me as well. “Aw shooh hahv tolh yue abowh ma Epihlepshee.” I continued. “Uh… am I going to have to deal with this wounded tongue or can it be fixed quickly?” I asked, carefully and slowly sounding out each word to the doctor after I noticed she was a unicorn. “For a wound like the one you have normally I could just heal it with magic. Unfortunately I can’t guarantee it wouldn’t set off another seizure.” The doctor stated. I sighed and chuckled mirthlessly. Of course it can’t be that simple… I thought. I then realized I was still sitting in my own piss. “Um… shit…” I said. “This is going to sound very bad but… I kind of emptied my bladder during my seizure… I need to get to a shower… but, I can’t trust my legs… I… I’m going to need help…” I continued, slowly working around my injury. I could feel Twilight heat up in embarrassment at what I said. “Yes, I can have a stallion come in to help you if that would be better for you.” The doctor stated. “No it’s fine.” I say as Twilight backs up and I move to the side of the bed I’m on. The doctor comes up to me and puts an arm around my waist. I position my arm over her shoulder and try to stand up. “Thank you.” I say to the mare. We slowly make our way to the bathroom as the haze fades little by little. Finally, a few moments before we get to the door, I feel able enough to do the rest myself. “I think I’ve got it from here.” I slowly struggle out. “Are you sure?” she asks. I simply nodded and made my way into the bathroom. I closed the door and stripped as quickly as possible. I took a brief shower, making sure to pay extra attention to my legs. I dried myself off afterwards and realized that I hadn’t brought any clothes with me. I sighed thoughtfully before noticing a pair sitting on the sink. I smiled and dressed as quickly as I could, without falling, and exited back into the room. Celestia and the doctor had left but, Twilight had decided to stay. My stomach growled loudly and I noticed I was absolutely starving as I laid down. “Um… can you get me some food or ask someone else to please.” I said with a small blush. She chuckled a bit and nodded. “Sure. What do you want?” She asked. “Actually… some fruit would be wonderful.” I answered after a moment of thought. Twilight smiled and nodded once more. “Ok.” She said softly. I giggled a bit. “What?” She asked. “The way you said that was really cute.” I said without skipping a beat. Hurray! My internal filter is turned off. I thought in an odd tone that was mixed with loathing and joy. Twilights face burned brightly at my compliment. “Um… th.. Thank you Tec.” She said while looking at her hooves. “You’re welcome Twily.” I stated, while humming the tune to BBBFF in my head and swaying to the beat a bit. She poked her head out of the door and I heard her speaking to someone, probably a maid or something. I closed my eyes continued to sway. “So… um… Tec… um… you never asked if we might be able to send you home… Why?” Twilight asked. I opened one eye and looked at her with a tad bit of confusion evident on my face. “That was really weird timing for that question.” I said before taking a deep breath. I opened my other eye and looked at her seriously. “Do you want me to lie to you or do you want the truth?” I asked. “The truth, of course.” She said obviously confused. I took another deep breath. “Where I come from is… not too nice of a place… but, in all honesty… that had nothing to do with my decision not ask. More than anything… the world I am from… well… bored me… if I had a chance to go back… the only reason I would, would be to ask my family and my few friends to come back with me. I don’t want to leave…” I said thoughtfully. “I don’t want to lose you all…” I said, my voice suddenly quiet as I sagged sadly at the thought. “Are… are we really that important to you?” She asked. “Yes… yes you are….” I answered simply. She walked up to my prone form and hugged me tight happy tears falling from her eyes.
