Author's Note

All German (or germane) translations will be in ( ), just a heads up. And thank you for taking your time to read this fic. I don't want to be offending any Germans with how Fusion sounds and talks. But it's how I find germans talking in some movies. Again I don't mean to be offending germans, if anything they're awesome.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: New Friends, New Beginnings

"Now vhere am I going to sleep for the night?" It was the middle of the day of Ponyville and Fusion had not thought this through before leaving Germaney. He walked around blind of what next to do as he noticed a pink mare bouncing with a cake balancing on her cotton candy like mane. "was der Mond?" (What the moon?) He approached the hyperactive mare as he tapped her on the shoulder, stopping her trampoline path. "Excuse me miss, vut do you know vere I can-" Fusion was soon interrupted as the mare gave a long gasp at him and zoomed off to Celestia knows where. ".......vat?" He was soon interrupted as he felt something bump into him, causing him to fall and launch his briefcase, thankfully to him it remained shut. "Oooff,.......ah scheiza..." (Ah shit) He looked to what hit him and was shocked.

Princess Twilight sat the on her flank as she rubbed a hoof on her head, she felt a pain as Fusion felt the same one. He immediately snapped his head to the ground in respect and sorrow towards one of his rulers. "Achk! Princess Twilight Es tut mir leid! Ich did nots mean to hit bump into you." Fusion deeply apologized as he bowed several times towards the princess. As for the princess, her eyes rolled back into place as she shook her head toward Fusion. (I am sorry!)

"Ow....oh it's okay." Twilight simply shook off as she squinted her eyes and simple stared at fusion with a confused look. "Hmmm, I've never seen you here before."

"Ja, Ich am new here, new to your new kingdom? Ish it a kingdom or a town?" (yes)

"Well I don't really like to call it a kingdom, just regular old Ponyville you know?" She giggled as Fusion followed with a nervous chuckle. "Anyways, I was about to go have some breakfast. Would you like to join me?" Fusion was baffled as a princess had just asked him. Joining royalty for a meal? INSANITY!

"I-I-I.....Ich......... uhhh......shuaa." Fusion confirmed as he picked up his bag and case and followed the royal highness to a small and yet delicious looking diner. Fusion gazed in awe as he saw a gingerbread roof with frosting and candy, and best of all white and milk chocolate walls on the outside. "Oh mien Celeshtia.......Ich......Ich hav no vurds."

"Oh yea, this is Sugar Cube Corner, a pretty popular diner and cafe around here. Lets go and get some breakfast." The two entered the diner to see a few ponies merrily eating their meals. The two sat down in a simple cushion booth and skimmed through a menu. A few minutes had passed as a tall custard yellow stallion came to them with a small notepad.

"Oh, w-well hello y-your highness." He properly introduced with bullets sweating down his head.

"Please Mr. Cake, just Twilight is fine."

"W-well alright Twilight, what would you and your friend like?"

Twilight started first as she closed her menu, but for Fusion he kept looking through his menu. "I think I'll have the cucumber sandwich with daffodil chips, oh and some tea please." Twilight requested as Mr. Cake wrote down that order, he then looked at Fusion who was ready.

"Ich sink Ich vill have ze hay bacon und eggs vith a glass of orange juice. And vat vas your name?"

"Oh well my name is Carrot Cake, or Mr. Cake if you'd perfer."

"Vell then, nice to meetchu Karret Cake." Carrot Cake simply smiled and nodded at Fusion as he soon left with their orders. Fusion felt a slight bubbling in his stomach as he reached into his saddle bag and pulled out a thick bar, he placed it on the table and simply ripped off the rapping revealing a inch thick chocolate bar. He broke off a piece and much on it as he savored the flavor of the sweet and cocoa flavor.

"What is that?"

"Schokolade, or let me rephrase zat" He cleared his throat and coughed a few times. "Chokolate. straight from mien home town." He plucked off another small chip of chocolate as he handed one to Twilight who levitated it to her mouth, she took a good bite out of it as she examined it's flavor. "This is actually really tasty and different from the chocolate I eat."

"Ja, zis chokolate is more thicker and yet milkier than regular chokolate in the vest of Equestria." (yes) Fusion shared as he ate another chip of chocolate from his bar. "I alvays love to bring chokolate vherever I go, it eases my nerves and brings me memories."

"What kind of memories?" Asked Twilight.

"Vell, my Freunde und I vould always have our chokolate bars and eat and talk."

"Fwrinda?" Twilight said in a confused tone as Fusion cleared his throat once again.

"Es tut mir leid, I meant to say friends." (I am sorry) He apologized as Carrot Cake soon returned with both of their orders, he placed them down on the table for the two to consume. "Danke Karret." Fusion lauded as he took a bite out of his eggs and hay bacon. The explosion of flavor hit his mouth. "Güte, This is very lecker!" (Goodness, Delicious) Fusion complimented in his native tongue as he munched on his breakfast.

"I know, Mr. and Mrs. cake along with Pinkie Pie make the best treats and breakfast is town."

"Pinkie Pie? Is she dat pink pony who has a cotton candy mane?"

Twilight's eyelids popped open as the hear of the description. "Pinkie Pie, yea that's her. I'm wondering why she hasn't thrown you a party yet."

"A party? Vhy for me?"

"Oh she throws a party for every new pony in Ponyville. It's her thing really, she loves to throw parties and make ponies smile." Twilight said, continuing on with her breakfast as Fusion followed suit. Soon the two finished as Carrot Cake soon returned and gathered their dishes and waited for their bill to come in. "So Fusion, what made you come to Ponyville?"

"Vell I've been travelling all mien life und I van't to just rest and stay here for about a monthz. Although I am having a raugh time looking for a place to spend ze month." Fusion told, chuckling at his embarrassment as he picked up his glass of orange juice and started to sip. Twilight was soon struck with an idea as a bulb lit in her head.

"I know, how about you stay at my place for the month?" With unexpected surprise, Fusion spit out his orange juice only to find a orange and purple hybrid colored unicorn in front of him with a sour face. Fusion chuckled to himself at Twilight has he picked up his napkin.

"Es tut mir leid." (I'm sorry.) Fusion apologized as he started to wipe off the sticky juice off of Twilight's fur and mane. "I vas just surprised that you offered me a room. May I ask vhy?"

"Well I learned from a lot over the years and I know that friendship can come from anyone." Twilight smiled as Carrot Cake soon returned with their bill. Twilight reached into her saddlebag to pay for the meals as a small thud was felt against the table. She found a small pile of bits stacked on the table as she saw Fusion smiling with glee. "Wait no, I'll pay for it-"

"Nien..., I vill pay. I owe you so much vight now your highness." He said as he bowed towards her majesty.

"Please.....call me Twilight." She sighed, hoping to not having to get used to her new title. The two grabbed their belongings as they exited the diner. They walked through the town as multiple ponies either waved to Twilight or bowed to her. To Twilight's point of view, she was irritated as if every one of her friends and citizens all treated her like a super pony or a hero. She wasn't a hero just a friend. And in lack of her own mind, 'This is some horse manure'.

"Ich take it zat you don't like ze royalty?"

"Well not really." She sheepishly giggled as the two arrived at her so called palace of friendship. Fusion stopped as he gazed in awe at this palace. High like a monolith as it shimmered with it's crystal texture.

Fusion's jaw dropped to the floor but reattached as one word slowly curled out of his mouth. "Wunderbar......." (Wonderful.....) Twilight giggled at his amusement and astonishment as the two approached the front door. Twilight opened the front door to which bolstered Fusion's reaction as the entire interior was also made up of crystal. "I...Ich......" Speechless he was as Twilight signaled him to followed her. He knoded as the two walked along the halls of the palace. "Zis is amazing....how on Equestria vas zis built?"

"Well truth be told, it kinda built itself...." Twilight said in weak explanation. Fusion cocked an eyebrow as he approached a side of the palace. He tapped the glass, slugged it, and closely examined it.

"Diamondium Petra." He said with a flat tone

"Wait, you can tell what that is?" Surprised as Twilight could be. She knew what it was made of, but it took her days to examine, and yet for Fusion; minutes.

"Vhy yes, how did this form itself? Magic?"

"Well yea pretty much. It was after my friends and I-"

"Defeated Tirek? Ich heard of zat news, Ich just didn't know about your palace." He said as he repeated is gaze upon the interior height of the palace. "So vhere am I staying?"

"Oh right, I'll show you your room." She said guiding the earth pony across the long......long.......and looooonnnng hallway of the castle. "I'm glad you're new here, we don't get much visitors around here. It get's kind of lonely around here."

"Ve? Vat do you mean ve?"

"Oh my assistant also lives here. His name is Spike."

"Assistant? Vell you must have loyal subjects zen."

"Actually he's like my baby brother." Fusion cocked a brow as he opened his mouth to ask but Twilight answered his question. "He's not a pony, he's a dragon." Fusion's eyes widened at the word "dragon", he gulped in small fear. Luckily for him Twilight was too busy guiding him to his room. In just a few minutes the two reached the guest room as Twilight opened the door, but both were surprised to find the room in an aftermath after a tornado, a lump of blankets was found breathing as Twilight's face turned sour. She walked angrily to the lump as she levitated the blankets away revealing a purple sleeping childish dragon. "SPIKE!!!!!!!"

The dragon leaped up in shock and stood up with a salute with loyalty.......and a small white t-shirt covering his eyes as he salutedwith loyalty. "Assistant Spike reporting for du-......Twilight? Why is everything all white?" He asked in a confused tone walking around arms out looking for help until he was found levitating and with clear vision as Twilight took off the t-shirt. "Oh.....eh heh heh......" Now he felt like he was gonna turn into hay; processed and eating whole.

"Spike, we have a guest and I find you in the guest room which is also in a mess. Do you have anything to explain here?"

"Sorry Twilight, it's just I don't really like my old room. This room is bigger, plus it looks cooler to." He weakly explained with a sheepish smile on his face. Twilight simply sighed as she excused her scribe. "Who is that anyways?" The little drake asked as he pointed at Fusion who quickly averted his eyes from Spike.

"This is Fusion. He's going to stay with us for a while." Twilight introduced as Fusion took a small nod at the Spike. "Spike I'm going to need you to clean this mess up for Fusion."

"Yes ma'am!" The dragon saluted as he began to slowly tidy the room like a lounge as Twilight began to watch him like a hawk. Fusion decided to slip from Twilight and Spike's sight as he began to venture his owns paths around the castle. It was amazing for it's size and structure. His curiosity began to plague him as he went through almost any door he saw, most of the rooms he found were fondled with either books or vacancy. He found one room, smaller than any other room he's seen in the castle. The room had only one bookcase, a red carpet flooring, and a fireplace. The room had caught his curiosity as he approached the bookshelf, he examined the books as he'd recognized the titles. "'Poneo and Marriet', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'The Princess Bride', and 'The Time Traveler's Wife'? Vat's vith zese books?"

"Fusion?"

Fusion surprisingly looked behind him to find Twilight Sparkle in a confused state. "Oh, tut mir leid. Am Ich in a private room?" (I am sorry).

"Uhh....well.....no...." Twilight's face began to slowly bloom into crimson. "It's well, kind of a private selection."

"Soo.....it iz a private room. Vell my apologies vor intruding. Ich never knew zat ze new princess loves romance."

"Uhh.....-" Now she was looking away, to embarrassed to even bring up any romance related topics, or anything by that matter that could make herself look more stupid.

"Vut it iz not mien place to say. So let us forget zis all happened." Fusion said as the Twilight quickly nodded in agreement (and embarrassment) as Fusion walked out. He walk back through the halls of the castle and found his room, where he found it clean and tidy. "Vow....Spike knows how to clean."

"Thanks, I do my best." Spike exclaimed in loyalty as he saluted with pride.

"Danka Spike. Hold on..." Fusion walked into his room and reached into his bag. He reached out a green hat with a green feather on the side of it. He placed it on Spike's head as he patted him. "You deserve a veward, keep it. It vas mine before."

"Wow neeto!" He took off the hat and examined it's features. "What is it?"

"Vell it is a hat from a Germane festival zat ve celebrate back at home. Ze festival vas called Oktoberfest and ponies vould dance, sing, drink, and have a good time."

"Wow thanks Fusion." Spike said as he ran out into the hallways giggling at his new prize. Fusion smiled to him and himself, making a dragon smile put a feeling in his heart. He closed his door as he placed his briefcase on his bed. He turned the diodes until the case clicked and opened. Inside were papers of his native language and a metal device buried underneath all of them.

"Now...vat to do vith you."
