He awakes in a place surrounded by darkness. He felt something lying next to him, he looked down and smiled. The orange pegasus was lying next to me, fast asleep. I got up without disturbing the three fillies from their sleep and went outside. As soon as I stepped outside, I was met with a cool night breeze. I looked back at the fillies, then closed the door. He takes out a cigarette, puts up to his mouth, and lights it.

"Ya know, smokin' ain't good for you."

I jumped at this and turned around. But my sly fear was replaced with a smile when I saw Apple Bloom in the doorway. -I finally remember their names- I thought to myself as I sighed and threw the cigarette in a Bush, which I wished wouldn't catch fire.

"Bloom, what are you doing up?" I asked picking her up and seating her on the railing.

"Well, I woke up and saw y'all leavin, so I got nervous, but ya didn't leave." She said not making eye-contact.

I realized that when we met, she didn't seem that surprised to see a human in her world, neither did her friends. So I made a choice to ask. "Apple Bloom?" The fillies head poked up and looked at me. "Why weren't you taken back by the fact the I'm a human? Your friends weren't neither." She bit her bottom lip and looked down. "Should I tell you?" I nodded.

She hesitated, sighed, and proceeded. "Well, ah was really close friends with this human, do you know him? His name was Parker." I searched around my head for the name, I looked down at the filly and shook my head no. "He was here to fight some sort of 'terminator' called a T-X, and he won. Ah haven't seen him since he beat it." The filly said with a frown. I smiled and hugged her, brushing her mane. I could feel her smile, and eventually, fell asleep in my hands. I went into the clubhouse and laid her down for sleep. I did the same, lying down next to Scootaloo, I fell asleep.

The next morning, I was awoken. "Rise and shine, Jake!" I tried to wake up and when I did, I found three smiling fillies in front of me. It made me feel warm inside, seeing their smiling faces. I looked over and saw my equipment.

"About time you woke up!" Squealed Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah, do you sleep late on your world?" Asked Scootaloo.

Before I could answer, a familiar voice came calling.

"Apple Bloom, where in Celestia did you go?" And then, foot- er, I mean hoofsteps coming up the clubhouse. I grabbed my gun only to be shook off by Apple Bloom. "No, it's mah sis!" The fillies looked at each other and then at me. I could tell they didn't know what to do at this point, so Apple Bloom went out and talked to her sis, keeping the door closed. All I could hear are muffled voices, both southern, taking to each other. I put the gun down behind a patio that was in the clubhouse. I faced the door where Apple Bloom had run out of, and waited.

Apple Bloom came back in with a more relieved face. "Mah family, has an awful lot of work to do, so I'm here for the next few days." Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo both smiled and I couldn't help but smile too.

-Parker... Parker... why is he familiar- A thought came to me. I looked down at the fillies talking among themselves about which 'cutie mark' they would get today. I sat down in a corner thinking about the name, when Apple Bloom came over to me and outstretched her hoof as to say "join us". So I did.

I gulped at the high jump below. I jumped out of helicopters before, but then I had a parachute. Now, I'm scared as hell! The three jumped off with their gear on as soon as I strapped mine on. I closed my eyes and jumped down. I felt the rush and the pull of gravity as I made my way down. I eventually landed and made a big splash as I hit the water. A lake with a huge diving board lie before him. What scared him most, was a scream, Apple Bloom's scream. I looked up and saw the filly racing toward the ground, not the water, the ground. I heard several gasps of ponies as I climbed out of the water and tried to line myself up with her.

I couldn't.

Apple Bloom was almost to the bottom when everything seemed to go in slow motion. I ran over and dove just to see a scared Apple Bloom in my arms. I smiled as she hugged me, I heard small cheers from passing by ponies who had witnessed my doings. What I saw on Apple Bloom's face wasn't a scared look, it wasn't a happy one, no she was... blushing.

I questioned her but all she did was give me a slight thanks. The other two came running over, soaking wet, thank God they hit the pool. "What happened?! Are you ok!?" They asked in unison. She nodded and blushed saying "Because of this one's amazing catch." I smiled, -Thank you training- I thought as I remembered the grenade catching training of which I almost died in.

We got back to the clubhouse, the three were upset that they didn't get their cutie marks in high jumping, but frankly I was happy they didn't get them. If they did, then I might have to save their flanks from death.

I also saw Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle talking behind my back and Apple Bloom blushing. I asked what they were talking about, but Scootaloo answered, "Nothing, don't worry." With a giggle. I raised one brow but ignored it, as I took my vest off along with my tank-top and started stretching my arms out after hitting the ground. I felt someone watching me and turned around only to see at the top of the stairs, Apple Bloom, she was beat red.
