PJ's Adventures in Equestria

Once again I awoke in the library and once again I was all alone as I did so. This was weird, back home I was pretty much always the first one in the house to wake up. It was a strange thing but I would always wake up at roughly the same time every morning regardless of what time I actually went to sleep. Maybe it was the change of scenery. Oh well, I'll get used to it eventually.

I got up, went to the bathroom and had my shower. While I was washing I had time to think about stuff. Mostly about how I was going to get by here without just mooching off of Twilight all the time. My second oldest brother was always mooching off of his friends and often enough members of our family. Oddly enough he never had any money to get himself a house but he could still afford shit loads of cannabis. I don't want to end up like that fucking mess.

I would have to get some sort of job, that was for sure. But what? I wasn't exactly Mr. Skillful and I certainly wasn't going to offer myself as the first human prostitute in Equestria. So what then? I decided to ask Twilight.

I re-dressed and made my way downstairs to see what can only be described as a nuclear explosion of books all over the library. "What the hell happened in here?" I asked.

Twilight poked her head around the corner that lead to the kitchen "Good morning. We're just sorting the library." she said with a 'squee'.

"If this is sorting it then I'd hate to see messing it up."

This comment earned me a glare "We're not leaving it like that you know? We'll put them back on the shelves after breakfast."

Now I was just confused "Why not just leave them as they are? With your organisation skills it shouldn't be that hard for you to find where they need to go."

"That's what I keep saying," Spike joined Twilight outside the kitchen "but she still never listens."

"Well since you're up do you want breakfast?" Twilight asked.

"Just an apple will be fine thanks." I replied. I need to cut down on food since I'm pretty sure being stuck in a place like this will end with me having to run away from something eventually so I want to be prepared. And no, I'm not fucking paranoid.

Her horn glowed purple and out floated an apple surrounded with the same purple aura. I'm never going to understand how most of this shit works. My Weird-Shit-O-Meter is over nine thousand right now.

I took a bite of the apple. "Hey Twilight," I said before swallowing the final remains of the bite "I've been thinking. Since I'm gonna be here for a while then maybe I should get a job. Y'know, help contribute to the household and stuff."

Twilight smiled at me "I think that's a great idea. What's your Cutie Mark?"

Shit. I honestly can't believe this subject never came up in any conversation before now, I'm going to be spending the next few hours answering questions about how humans manage without Cutie Marks. "Well..." I hesitantly began "humans don't get Cutie Marks."

Her jaw dropped about two feet upon hearing this. "W-what, but how do you know what your special talent is?"

"Humans normally just find out on their own but to be honest some never find it. Like me. I haven't found anything I'm good at."

Twilight hummed "Well there must be something you can do. I'll tell you what, I'll try and find you a job and hopefully you'll find something that you're good at while you're here." She *sqeed*. How do they fucking do that?

"That actually sounds like a good plan," I thought for a moment "but what do I do in the meantime? I don't want to just sit around doing nothing while you go to all this trouble for a complete stranger."

Once again Twilight found herself humming "You could help us keep things straight in the library. Spike would never admit it but I'm pretty sure all this work is too much for the little guy. He is only a baby dragon after all."

"Hey," Spike said from beside us, I completely forget he was here "I resent that."

Me and Twilight both giggled at that (yeah I giggle, so fucking what!!!) and I finished eating my apple and threw the core in the bin. "Right then," I said eagerly "where do we begin?"

I had been helping to re-shelf the books for around four hours at this stage and I was starting to get tired. We would have idle conversations every now and again but nothing really big enough to distract from the boring task. Well at least me and Spike found it boring, Twilight was in heaven.

This dull activity went on for a while longer until a book caught my eye. It can't be. It fucking can't be. The book that I held in my hands had a title so similar to one of my favourite books back home that it could in no way be a coincidence. Brave Boulder: Casino Royale. A fucking pony James Bond!

I stared in awe at the book until Twilight came trotting up next to me "Do you like the look of this one?" she asked.

I nodded "The title is way too similar to a book from Earth to be a coincidence. Tell me, does this book involve and undercover agent attempting to bankrupt and enemy spy at a casino?"

Twilight's eyes went wide "How could you know the plot of the book without even reading the back?"

"There was a book back home. First in the James Bond series, it was also called Casino Royale."

"That is amazing. It appears that our two worlds mirror each other in some ways. Oh, this is absolutely fascinating." She appeared to calm down while Spike just rolled his eyes and kept cleaning. "So, what books do you like to read?"

I smiled now, I was in my zone. "I mostly read horror like Stephen King; he's an author by the way. I also read adventure books on occasion and the James Bond series is one of my personal favourites." We conversed about books for a while more before hitting the sack. I know it was early but quite frankly, we were fucking tired.
