Alright, Sorry I take so long to update. Here it is though: Chapter 3: The New Life. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, back on earth,
Marcus, Crystal, and the Doctor were both in Jay's hospital room. Crystal and Marcus were on one side of him, the doctor on the other.
"Is he going to be okay doctor?" Marcus asked.
"I don't think so, Mr.Marcus."
"Is there any way to save him?" Crystal asked, tearing up.
"........No, Miss.Crystal. When he landed, he shattered almost all the bones in his body. One of his broken ribs punctured his heart. He died instantly. I'm sorry." The doctor said, looking at the now sobbing brother and sister. Marcus was hugging Crystal, who was Crying into his shoulder.
"Why....Why...didn't..he...listen...to...me?" She said through sobs.
"I...I don't....I don't know Crystal. I....I knew he was good....but still...." Marcus said. He broke away from the hug and looked at her. He wiped th tears of her eyes.
"But listen," He said, trying not to cry, "I know he would want us to keep on living. We'll just have to meet him in the afterlife."
He said, smiling. Crystal looked at her brother. She knew his was probably right, but he didn't want to accept it. She sniffed and stopped crying. She hugged him again.
"I...I know."
"Then let's go. We still have to throw you a party. It's almost time, and your other friends will be arriving soon. He had a song that he made yesterday for today. I can play that for us."
"It won't be the same though."
"Well, we have to do it anyway. He would've wanted us to still do this." Marcus led Crystal out of the hospital. He had to keep her happy, and her thoughts away from Jay.

Back in Equestria,
Twilight and her friends were having a picnic on the beautiful sunny day. Spike had prepared it earlier.Today's picnic was because Twilight had discovered a new spell where when she touched a pony with her horn, it would flood her mind with information on said pony. It would only give her information on their name, where they're from, and their personality.When Pinkie found out she decided to throw a party. Twilight decided to instead have a picnic. It was a pretty normal day, until it suddenly started to get dark, clouds surrounding a certain point in the sky.
"What? There's no scheduled storm for today!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"Hmm, this is weird." Twilight said. Then a flash of lightning struck and a loud *BANG* rang throughout ponyville. When Twilight and her friends looked back, they saw a pony falling from the sky.
"Look! Somepony's falling!" Applejack yelled. They all started as fast as they could towards the falling pony. Rainbow Dash flew towards him and to try to save him.
He was falling at high speeds, so high that Twilight wondered how he did not burn up while falling. That's when this new pony hit the ground. It was a crash so loud that they all had to cover their ears with their hooves.
The impact sent a shock wave that shook the trees and the ground, almost making the ponies fly back.
"Wow! That is one huge crash! It was like, pheeeeeeeewwwwww then boooooom and then crash!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"She's Righ' Twi." Applejack said, looking towards Twilight.
"That was louder and bigger than the sonic rainboom!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"It was quite strange, Twilight dear. What do you think it was?"
"Well....I don't know! Let's go find out!" Twilight said.
"Umm...Twilight? I don't know...it landed in the everfree forest.... it's so scary in there..." Fluttershy said. Twilight sighed.
"Fluttershy, we might need to use the elements of harmony. That means that you HAVE to come. We need you!"
"Oh...well since you put it that way... okay." They all started down the path, into the everfree forest. They walked in silence, all except for pinkie, who was babbling on about random things, listening for any type of pony-sounds.
After only a few more minutes of walking they found the gigantic crater, just to the right of the path. Immediately they galloped over to the center. What they saw was a dark blue.... alicorn?
"What?! How's that possible?!" Twilight exclaimed. She cautiously started walking to.. it and got a closer look. He was an alicorn. He had some black clothes on, and some boots. He had a pair of goggles, also blue that were around his neck. His mane was black and a lighter shade of blue. Also, there were black zebra stripes all across his body. Lastly, his eyes were a bright red, and they were shaped like... like dragon eyes! He seemed....different than most ponies.
Besides being an alicorn and all. Rainbow Dash flew over, slowly, and looked at her, then to the pony.
"Rainbow, don't." Then, she landed and poked him. When he didn't move, she poked him again, harder. The pony sprang up, his wigs flared, his horn glowed with a more blue/purple light. He looked at them and tried to turn and run, but he fell.

Jay's POV
God, why did you send me down like a meteor? That REALLY hurts ya know! He thought to himself. Suddenly, he was poked. Right on his nose. He decided not to move, so that they would go away. He was poked again, but this is when it got really irritating. He sprang to his... hooves?
Am I.... am i really here? He looked around, and he saw six ponies. He tried to run and run, to get away and think, but he fell. He was exhausted. Dieing really does that to you. Jay tried to get back up, but he was way too tired. He blacked out.
Jay woke up again, but this time he was on a couch, under a blanket. The house was oddly familiar.
"Oh...Um... Hi. MY...my name's Futtershy...We..um..we saw you fall and i took you to my house so you could get better."
He looked at the voice and saw Fluttershy, walking towards him with a bowl of soup.
"No, it's okay...Fluttershy. Thank you, for taking time to help me."
"I..i always help ponies or animals in pain. I love to." She smiled. Jay sat up and she gave him the bowl.
"Oh, my name is Faint, by the way." He said, trying to make it seem believable. He tried to pick up the spoon in the bowl. It was difficult at first, but he did it. The soup she made was amazing!
It tasted like the vegetable soup Crystal made, back on earth. Jay sighed.
Ahh, earth. I will miss you. I will miss my friends and family too. He thought as he ate.
He looked around again, but Fluttershy wasn't there. He finished the soup and set the bowl down on the table near him. A couple of minutes later the mane six walked in from the front door, Fluttershy in the lead.
"Now listen girls, he is still tired...probably. Please try not to be mean to him."
"Ok Flutter, don't worry." Twilight said smiling. Jay could see their expressions as they saw him, laying down. His first instinct was to get up, but when he tried Fluttershy laid him back down.
"No no no, Faint. You can't get up, you must rest!"
"While we, ask you some questions." Rainbow Dash said. They all took seats in different parts of Fluttershy's cottage.
Jay moved in a way so that Fluttershy could sit on the couch next to him. Twilight looked at him and started to talk.
"Alright, who are you?"
"I am Faint." Applejack gave him a funny look, but said nothing.
"Where are you from?" Jay hadn't prepared for that question.
"I am from... Manehattan." Again, applejack looked at him. He knew that she knew he was lying.
"How is it possible that you are an alicorn? There are only two in existence."
"I...I was born like this. My mom was a unicorn, and my dad was a pegasus." Applejack frowned, trying not to speak. It was also partly the fact that Jay was a bad lier.
"Hmmm.. okay. Why were you falling from the sky?" This was another one he hadn't expected.
"...I was flying and crashed into another pony, but he just kept flying. My wings locked up, and I started to fall." That was the last straw.
"Twilight, I can tell this guy's lyin'."
"Really, I had noticed too." She looked back at Jay. "The truth now." Jay was nervous, because what he could say would turn up more questions.
"That's okay, if you don't want to talk. I have already informed the princess about you, she will be here any second now."
Right on Que, The princess's carriage landed outside. Both princesses got out and walked towards the cottage. The door was opened by princess Celestia's magic.
"Princesses! Thank you for coming!" All the ponies got down and knelled. Jay tried to do the same, but he just fell on his face. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie both giggled. Fluttershy helped him up, back onto the couch.
"It was no problem, my most faithful student. We figured this was more urgent than what we were doing at the moment."
Luna looked at me, seeing the similarity to her. Celestia spoke again, looking at Jay now.
"You. I know what you are. I know that you have no thought of harm for me or my little ponies, so I will allow you to explain."
"As in?"
"I want you to explain what your intentions are."
"Oh, that's easy! I just wanted to get away from it all. The murder, the rape, the theft, the wars, and everything else back home. I figured this was the best place to be."
"I can tell that thou tells the truth." Luna said and turned to Celestia. "You can trust him sister."
Celestia seemed to relax. She looked at Jay again.
"Alright. I will allow you to stay. But, whenever I need to, i will summon you to tell you something important, or if something comes up that I think you know about. Especially, if there are new ponies. Be warned: If you ever hurt one my ponies, you will be banished to the moon. If it is really bad, you win a one-way ticket to the sun." With that and a smile to the mane six, she and Luna left back to Canterlot.
The mane six looked back at me.
"Well...." Jay said, getting up, "I must go now. I kinda want to fly around, go sightseeing, ya know?" He said as he casually walked around them, to the exit. He was blocked by Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, if you're flying, I'm coming!" She said.
"Alright, but I have to get used to it again. My wings still kinda hurt, so it will take me a couple of tries to get flying properly."
"Whatever," She said, rolling her eyes and opening the door. "I'll see you guys later!" She called as her and Jay left. Rainbow Dash almost immediately took off. She looked back at Jay, who started galloping. He jumped, and tried to use his wings.
