"Bon-Bon! Get up! Did you hear the news? Humans. Portal. Canterlot!." I shouted to my roommate in excitement. After reading the newspaper I ran home as fast as I could.

"Huh? Yeah, of course. I heard about it yesterday." she stated nonchalantly as she swung herself out of bed. My jaw dropped. How could she hear about something like that and not tell me right away!?

"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!?" I glared at her at her unflinchingly.

"You were at the club with Vinyl last night!"

"So? Humans have been in Equestria for like four months."

"Yeah but it was just a few of them and they aren't quite sure how they got here still." I sighed and crossed my hooves.

She sighed and rolled her eyes. "And I've seen it, there's mostly like diplomats and stuff right now. Ponies can't just walk up and take one like it's a pet store."

Damn. If only you could.

Before I could respond there was a knock at the front door. I followed Bon-Bon into the living room as she answered it. Hovering just outside was the mail-mare holding a package.

"Oh, hey Derpy."

"Hey Bon-Bon! Got a package for ya! Just need you to sign here and I'll be gone in a jiffy." She hoofed the box to Bon-Bon with a clipboard on top and pointed to the dotted line.

"Alright. Thank you. Have a nice day, Derpy." She signed with the pen that was attached to the clipboard and passed it back to Derpy.

"You too! Bye!" Bon-Bon closed the door after Derpy flew off.

She set it in the middle of the living room for us both to investigate, upon inspection we discovered that it was from none other than Princess Celestia.

"Holy shit! It's from the princess herself!" She exclaimed.

"Wow. Though it was probably just one of her assistants that sent it."

"True, true. But still!"

"Well what are you waiting for? Open it!" I said excitedly. As interested as I was it probably wasn't that action figure I ordered, which was odd because I ordered it weeks ago. Then I heard another knock on the door. I answered it and saw Derpy once more, she was holding another package although this one was much smaller than the other one.

"Hey again, sorry I forgot this one." She passed me the box and took off without another word. I used my magic to open it faster and found my action figure.

"Yes! Finally! Now I have the complete set!" He had a confident face and was well dressed, he'd fit in perfectly with the others. I set him next to the rest in a surprised pose and smiled as I backed away and looked at the whole scene.

"Don't you think..." Bon-Bon began as she struggled to open the tightly closed box from Celestia. "That it's a little creepy considering ponies know that humans are real now?"

"No...I mean maybe just a teensy-tiny bit but...okay shut up. What's in the box?"

As I asked she managed to pry open the hardest part and quickly unveiled its secrets. Inside was a wide variety of items, a number of books, a small pile of clothes as well as a pair of stunningly beautiful dresses for mares and a wide assortment of small items. On top all of it sat a pristine letter addressed to both of us. Bon-Bon was the first to reach for it, carefully opening the letter and reading what had been inside.

"Dear Lyra and Bon-Bon, as model citizens of Equestria you have been chosen to host a human within your home and care for him or her and introduce them to our way of life. If you do not wish to participate in this please send this letter and package back to the royal castle. In the case that you do, you will find books detailing human culture, anatomy, psychology, what we do know about them and much more. Please read these as thoroughly as you are able. In addition the dresses are in the event that you bring your human to a formal event such as The Grand Galloping Gala, as well as dress clothing for your human and four tickets to said event taking place in exactly two months on October 1st 1004 A.B. (On the human calendar it would fall on October 1st 2014). For the sake of time not all items shall be listed but it can be trusted that you will find all of them with ease. Be sure to read the personal file about the human you will be hosting so you can learn their background and miscellaneous information but it is encouraged to find out as much as you can by simply talking to and observing your guest. If there are any complications or issues please send a letter to us and you shall have a response as soon as possible. We wish you the best of luck and hope that things will work out well between your human. Your human shall arrive a week from now on Friday, August 8th 1004 A.B." Bon-Bon exhaled deeply after reading the entire letter.

I had to check to make sure my heart didn't stop beating. A human, in our house!? I was shaking from excitement. Was this a dream? As if that wasn't enough the dresses inside had to be the sexiest things I would have ever worn. I noticed Bon-Bon giving me a cautious look. I mustered my best dead serious look and stared her straight in the eyes.

"You do realize that if you say no to this I will be force to kill you right?"

"Lyra, I'm not sure, what if this-"

"I will do it right here too. And then afterwards I'll kidnap one anyway. It's gonna happen."

"Okay. Fine, I suppose it's alright."

"OH HELL YEAH!!!" I roared in excitement. Nothing could possibly ruin this!

"But..." she began. "We have a week until he, or she is here and we are reading these books cover to cover AND you aren't going to molest them the moment they walk through the door."

"Fuuuuuck. There's like over a dozen books in there! And I wouldn't have done that...probably not at least..." I rubbed my hooves together awkwardly.

"By the way I know there's still enough human porn on the computer to last until the end of time. I'd hide that if I were you..." she echoed from the box as she fumbled through the collection of items inside.

"And the toys and what not." she added.

"Action-"

"Not up for discussion."

"Fiiine."

"And if I find another vibrator on the desk I swear to Celestia I will kick your ass from here to the moon." she said in an irritated tone.

It's not my fault we ran out of room in the drawers, where else would I put it?

"When you're done hiding the evidence get back here and start going through these books with me. We can each read half and share the important parts with each other. If we're going to finish these we're going to have to start now." Bon-Bon gestured me over and gave me one of the books she picked out.

"Human anatomy, psychology, and mating rituals?"

"I figured you'd want that one. I got one on cultural norms and history."

"Thanks, Bon-Bon."

"Anyway, better get to it, there's at least a dozen more books in there and only a week to read them."

He'd better be cute at least, especially if I was going to spend a week reading about humans. I never hated books and I went to the library once in a while but I never buried myself in them like Twilight did.

Author's Note

Hope you guys enjoyed! I couldn't help but do a sequel right away and for those wondering, A.B. would be "After Banishment". As always I love when you guys comment or leave a like.

I can answer as myself or in character of one of your choosing. Don't worry this will update fast and you'll see the humans soon. I wanted to just get out the door with this one so I could establish what was going on. Btw still needs editing and proof-reading but it should be decent. If anyone is interested in staying on board as a proof-reader or just to help point out if a part of the story is faulty please message or comment.
