   Exiting the out outskirts of the Everfree Forest where the Princess' ancient cast was with Spike and the unconscious being in her magic, Twilight sparkle was flying towards Ponyville. To be more exact she was heading towards Fluttershy's cottage which, thankfully, was close to the Everfree. She would've taken this... thing to the Ponyville Hospital but she doesn't know how the town would react to such a strange creature, probably not well since they get the habit of being afraid of something that is different like they were with Zecora. Fluttershy was a better choice anyway since she is well with animals, and as far as Twilight is concerned this thing is an animal. Soon Twilight reached her friend's cottage.

   Twilight gently placed the  on ground and started knocking on the door, "Fluttershy, I think you need to take a look at this!"

   The pegasus opened the door, "Take a look at wha-", she paused, "what is that thing?" she said looking at the mysterious creature

   "I don't have the slightest clue. I was practicing a spell I hadn't heard of before, which I'm assuming is some sort of summoning spell considering the fact that this thing showed up when I had finished. When it arrived it was falling from the sky, it was awake then, but when I went to go save the creature it was knocked out like a light." Twilight explained.

   "O-oh my," commented Fluttershy, "it must of fainted due to stress, poor thing. Bring it in, all it needs is a little rest then it should be fine." Fluttershy walked back inside leaving the door wide open.

   "Come on Spike, help me bring it in," said Twilight levitating the upper half with her magic.

   "Do I have to?" Spike complained, Twilight gave him a irritated look in return, "Uh, I mean sure." He went to the lower half and picked up what he assumed were the feet and carried him inside the cottage.


   "Somebody help me!!! Please!!!" a bruised man tied to a chair in a dark room was calling out, the only source of light was a small flickering light bulb  that hung over him. A tall dark figure was slowly coming out of the shadows revealing himself to the man. The figure was non other than Lucas with a blank expression on his face. "Oh thank God. Please, man, get me outta of here."

   Lucas put on a comforting smile, "Don't worry I'm going to help you out."

   "Thank you." the man said on the verge of tears, "I'll repay back somehow."

   "That won't be necessary." Lucas chuckled.

   "Why's that?" the man questioned.

   Lucas walked up close to the man and whispered in his ear, "I can't receive gifts from a dead man now, can I?"

   The man's eyes widened with fear, "What!? No no no no no no, please don't do this to me man!" he pleaded. Lucas didn't respond while he walked back into the shadows humming a tune to himself. "Where're you going!?! Stop! PLEASE!" Lucas came back from the darkness pushing a cart full of all sorts of tools and knives, "What do you want!? I'll give you anything you want!"

   "Jesus, your'e a noisy one. I'm gonna have to fix that." Lucas said grabbing a stapler from the cart.

   The man was starting to panic, "No! Please don-" SMACK Lucas gave the man a right hook in the temple causing him to get dizzy.

   The maniac got walked behind the tied man and cupped his right hand under the victim's lower jaw and pulled up so his mouth would stay closed. Lucas held the stapler a foot away from the mouth of the man and slammed repeatedly across his lips. All that was heard was *click* *click* *click* and a pained muffled scream as Lucas stapled the man's mouth shut.

   Out of nowhere a child's voice was heard, "Do I Have to?"

   Everything started to fade away, even the the tortured man, as Lucas began to wake up back to reality. 'During such a wonderful dream too...' Lucas thought.

   His eyes shot open seeing he's being carried by a purple reptile, he felt that same warmness surrounding his shoulders to which he assumed was the magic of the purple unicorn he saw earlier. "Do you mind putting me down?" Lucas said aloud.


Twilight and Spike were close to Fluttershy's couch to lay the strange being down so it could rest.

"Do you mind putting me down?" the creature suddenly said. Twilight shrieked and jumped to the surprise, hitting her head on the ceiling while spike himself fainted. Fluttershy hid behind the end of the couch that was intended to hold thing.

THUD

   The now awake creature fell on the floor. Moments go by until it finally spoke up again, "Oh no that's cool, no one check up on me after BEING DROPPED ON THE FUCKING GROUND!!!"

   Twilight began to rub her head from the collision of the ceiling, "Ouch, could you not use such foul language?"

   "Oh I'm sorry, I'm just a little absolutely livid that I was awoken from a very nice dream only to be dropped on the ground." Answered the creature.

   "I'm sorry about that, but you just caught us off guard is all." Twilight apologized, "Anyway's what are you?"

   The being struggled to sit up because of the shackles around his hands which kept it from using it's arms properly. He awkwardly turned around to face Twilight. "My name is Lucas, Lucas Flores, and I'm human. Now, where am I?"

   "Equestria," answered Twilight, "Ponyville, to be more exact."

   "What are you? I know there's a special name for a pegasus with a unicorn horn, I just don't know what it is." Lucas asked.

   "I am an alicorn, my name is Twilight Sparkle but you can call me Twilight."

   "And the terrible hider?" Lucas motioned his head at the shaking pegasus behind the couch.

   "That is Fluttershy she is, well, shy." twilight chuckled.

   "And Barney Jr over here?" Lucas motioned towards the fainted baby dragon.

   "Oh that's Spike, he's my assistant." Twilight answered.

   "Alright, now that we're all best buddies 'n' such do you think you can use you're magic to get these off me?" Lucas turned around to show Twilight his handcuffs.

   "I can try," the purple mare said. She bent her head and touched her the cuffs with her horn. An audible click was heard, not even a second later the handcuffs fell to the floor.

   Lucas threw both his hands in the air, both middle fingers raised, pointing skyward, "Take THAT society!"

   Twilight noticed that there were bruises were the handcuffs had been, "Didn't those hurt?"

   Lucas rubbed his wrists, "Nah, those were nothing. THIS was painful," Lucas said as he raised his shirt to show an image on his chest of another human with but with a mask that covered half his face.

   "You get cutie marks too!? That's amazing!" Twilight said showing her cutie mark to him, "But ours don't hurt." she giggled.

   "Cutie mar-? No, this is a tattoo." Lucas explained, lowering his shirt. "I just thought that was a tramp stamp."

   "What is that?" the purple mare questioned.

   "I'll tell you some other time." Lucas said.

   "We have a lot to learn about each other, but that could wait." she said walking towards Fluttershy who was still hiding. "You can come on out Fluttershy, he's not that bad once you get to know him."

   "Oh um, if you s-say so." the butter colored mare said to her friend. She got up from behind the couch to see nobody there, "Umm, where is he?"

  "What!?" Twilight exclaimed, she turned around to see he wasn't there but the door, however, was open...
