"Now, explain to me what My Little Pony is." Dash grumbled as i walked into my room. She was sitting in my desk chair waiting for me.

"Fine, i will. Get out of my chair though so I can show you on my laptop." She reluctantly complied with a confused yet angry expression.

"What's a laptop? What are you talking about?" Dash's expression of anger was replaced with curiosity when i opened my laptop. "Is that freaky looking box thing what your talking about?"

"Yea, it's a computer. It can do a crap load of things, I mainly use it for games and YouTube though." I said.

"Celestia, you poni- humans... make absolutely no sense at all." Dash caught herself before she called humans ponies.

"Meh, you'll get used to it." I pressed the power button on my blue laptop and it started to make a low hum as it turned on. "So while this piece of crap turns on ill explain what i can. My little pony is a television show."

"Your going to have to keep talkin', don't know what a television show is."

"ugh, what do you ponies do with yourselves? A television or T.V. for short, shows stories or other things for entertainment. Many of which are fake, or so i thought." As my laptop finished powering on i typed in the password and it returned me to the desktop. I then opened Google chrome and loaded up YouTube. "I know all about Equestria and knew you before you even came here." When i finished saying this her eyes widened father then i think they should go.

"What do you mean you already knew me? How do you know about Equestria? I haven't even said it around you!" The anger fueled confusion was back.

"As i said, your whole place is a T.V. show. Here, look at this, it's Saturday so there's a new episode." I opened a link on YouTube to the next episode of My Little Pony. I moved the chair enough so that Dash could see the screen. As the title sequence was playing she just stood there motionless, mouth gaping. "If it means anything, it's a pretty good show!" I gave a weak smile.

Rainbow Dash watched herself in the playful little piece before the show actually started. "This is impossible...how are they filming us?" She never turned away from the screen.

"I have no idea, I thought it was all fake until now though. If your here though...I wonder what this episode is about." I wondered with a grin growing on my face.

As the title ended we watched as all the ponies were gathering in Twilight's library. She was reading a book when all the others crowded around her with concerned looks. "Hey Twi, have ya seen Rainbow Dash around? We have been lookin' for her all day, and ah have no idea where she is!" Applejack asked.

"No, i haven't seen her. You girls can't find her? Is she missing?" Twilight questioned, starting to worry about her friend.

"We can't find her anywhere. I checked her house and she isn't there. Can you help us find her? If you have the time though." Fluttershy squeaked.

"Of course i can! Let's go check Cloudsdale! Pinkypie go get your balloon we can use that to get up there!"

"Okey-Doky-loky!" She was bouncing around until then. Her face then melted down into complete seriousness as she gave a salute then sprinted away to fetch her hot air balloon.

I paused the video there. "OK, in all seriousness of the situation right now..Is Pinkypie a meth head?" I turned to Rainbow Dash who was still in shock of what she was watching. "You alright? I know this is a lot to handle but isn't it a little funny seeing them run around?" I snapped in front of her face to retrieve her back from her mind.

"How...how are they watching us? How long have they been doing this?" Dash choked out.

"Quite a while actually. I have no idea how though, but they are ending the second season and going into their third. The show was first made for little girls, but then for some reason guys started watching it too. I don't know why that is either, I watch it quite a bit but i don't know why. There's just something about it that makes me want to watch it..." I explained. "I wonder what they are going to do if your gone though."

"Who is 'they'? Who are you talking about?" She asked still staring at the screen.

"Whoever claims to own the show. They say it's created by Lauren Faust, but we know now that that isn't true."

"This makes no sense!" She screamed. I pressed play on the YouTube player.

I scooted to one side of the chair so that she could sit down too as we watched the rest of the episode. "The last time anyone saw her she was doing a job for Zecora." Twilight reported to her friends as she came out of a hut in the Everfree forest.

"What was the job?" Rarity asked.

"She was going to pick up a book for Zecora from Phillydelphia. They discovered a text from the first Alchemist. They translated it and made a few copies and she really wanted one of them so she paid Rainbow to fetch it!" Twilight told her friends. "She might just not be back yet, we have to wait a little longer before we start to panic."

"O Celestia that's right!" Rainbow Dash gasped. "I remember now! I got the book and I was flying back, but its a long way away. I was tired so i took a little nap on a cloud over the Everfree Forest! That still doesn't explain how though. At least i got my memory back though!"

"Bro-hoof?" I held out my fist as she just gave me another look of confusion. I silently opened Google and brought up the picture of her and Applejack tapping hoofs with the caption 'brohoof' under it.

She just smiled and gave a chuckle as her hoof met my fist. "bro-hoof."

I can die happy now.

"You have no idea how much that meant to me." I said with a stupid smirk. It then dawned on me that i picked up a bag when i found her drowning. "O my Jesus! I just remembered that i picked up a bag when i found you yesterday! I didn't look in it, but i threw it into the back seat of my car!"

"Celestia! let's go get it!" She said in a exited tone.

We raced down the hall to the stairs. "What's in the bag?" I asked curiously as we rushed down the stairs.

"I don't remember! But it might be that cool book with potions and-" Her sentence was halted by us meeting my brother sitting on the couch lost in his thoughts and my mother just regaining consciousness.

"Crap, well we will deal with my family first then go get the bag." I sighed.

"ugh... fine let's get it out of the way." She mumbled.

"Hey...so um...this is pretty awkward." I finally broke the uncomfortable silence. Dash and i sat down on different ends on the tattered, brown couch. My brother and mom was sitting on the tan L couch across the living room. They were staring at Dash, giving me the occasional glance. "and...this is Rainbow Dash."

She just looked at the ground uncomfortably. Then greeted them with an uneasy smile. "Hey."

"How is... how is she here? Am i high right now? Is she actually right there?" My brother finally responded.

"Yea, I am. I don't know why or how, but it definitively wasn't my choice to come here. By the way, i'm from Equestria, not My Little Pony." Dash shot him an angry look, irritated at him for acting like she wasn't there.

"But your not real! You being here is impossible! There is no physical or mental way that you can be here! We can't all be seeing you here!" My brother was rubbing his temples trying to process the fact that a animated pony pegasus was on our couch.

I got up and walked over to Rainbow Dash and picked her hoof up and dropped it to show my brother that I can physically can touch her. "Obviously that's not true. She is real, and she is right across from you."

"But...why is she here?" My mom choked out. She was now fully conscious.

"I saved her from drowning when i was driving home on Friday." I said casually. "Is it cool if she stays here a while?"

They all gave me a weird look. "You said that as if something like this happens all the time!" My mom shouted. "This is not an average situation! It's not like your friend at school wants to spend the night here!"

"Yea i know, but I already had my freak out. She just found out that humans record what they do in her world, so i'm not sure where Dash is at right now. But It's pretty funny to see your reactions." I still had my casual tone. "She isn't really accustomed to this world as you can see so there's really nowhere else she can go. Just let her stay until whatever quite literally threw her into this world fixes itself."

"I don't think that would be the best idea, Jack." My mother countered. "We have no idea what she is, or where she came from!"

"She just said she's from Equestria, so that mystery is solved." I contended. "Also, she's pretty much a human except for the fact that...she's a...pony. Besides that she still has rational thought! She's probably smarter then that retard!" I pointed to my brother.

He just glared at me. "But still, you have no idea what she's thinking! she might kill us all when we're asleep!" My mother emphasized.

"I slept here last night." Dash returned. "In the same room as Jack too! I have no idea what kind of twisted world this is, but it sounds like it has a lot of freaky people in it. The worst pony in Equestria that i know of stole a cart of food."

"Exactly." I maintained. "Have you seen My Little Pony? It's a show intended for little girls. I don't even think they eat meat there! I Don't think she's even capable of trying. Hey douche-fag what's your vote on this?" It then dawned on me:Oh, shit...I just said we eat meat. I peaked over at Rainbow Dash who didn't seem to catch what i said about it. Thank god, I am not looking forward to that explanation either. Meh, it's Rainbow Dash, out of all the ponies I think she would be the one to eat meat. Maybe it won't be that bad.

My brother perked up when he realized i said that to him. "Ugh...fine, mom I don't think there would be a problem with letting her stay here. i'm pretty sure that everything would be fine." He admitted.

"See, even that queer is OK with her staying here! One of the worst problems I foresee is that she'll need some help with some things." I then looked back to Dash. "Because she doesn't have fingers!!" I remarked, holding out my hands shaking my fingers in Dash's direction.

"OK, OK...fine. As long as there's no problem, and YOU feed her...i guess she can stay." My mother finally gave in.

"Thank you. Wait, what do you mean feed me?" Rainbow Dash asked raining an eyebrow.

"Oh...I thought you realized by now...that ponies and all other animals besides humans don't really have rational thought. Only humans live in cities and crap your used to. There are no talking cows or crap like that...This is one of the reasons they are so freaked out that your here. Your a talking pony, ponies can't talk here." I revealed to Dash.

"Wait, so only humans can do things here?" She questioned.

"It's not like we only allow humans, it's that the others just can't." My brother tried to help explain.

I pulled out my phone and loaded a video. "Here, look at this. This is a goat...licking a electric fence." I showed her the video of the furry beast getting it's tongue shocked. She let out a giggle that exploded into laughter. "It's not even smart enough to pull away from it."

"alright, I see what you mean." Dash said through chuckles. "This is a lot easier to handle than the whole T.V. show thing. But yea, i can feed myself. I'm smarter then that thing."

"It's getting close to noon, have you eaten anything yet?" My mother asked.

"Nope! And i'm starving. He's always hungry, freaking bottomless pit." I said gesturing to my brother. "Dash, you hungry?"

"Oh yea! I could definitely go for some food right now!" Dash suggested.

I looked over to my mother. "She'll fit in fine with our family."
