//-------------------------------------------------------// Intelligence and Cheerfulness -by BoredToDeathBrony- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1       Another day, the same crap. Levi just lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, thinking out loud to himself, "What am I going to do" he pondered. He was fired from his job last week because a customer decided 'Hey why don't I shove all these cans of paint to the ground, I'm sure nothing bad'll happen', after the paint was spilled everywhere, the manager happened to walk by and spot Levi with surrounded by and covered in paint, as well as the customer "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" He roared out, specifically directing his anger to Levi "Sir it wasn't me! I was just minding my own business, moving some of the objects into the correct place when this appalling person came over and spilled everything!" "Is this true?" He said to the customer, and before she answered he turned back to Levi with a disappointing look on his face, "No it's not true is it, Levi here wants to put the blame on you so you'll get a fine, but that's not happening." He turned back to Levi and ripped his badge off, "Levi! YOU'RE FIRED! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" It was at that point Levi finally snapped. For months he's been tormented, ever since the manager found out Levi parents were both male, he's harassed him for hours on end, he even made jokes about how they were both dead. He also used to take the mick out of Levi for even the slightest of problems, once Levi gave a customer 1 penny more than the amount of cash back they needed, and he was screamed at almost everyday for a whole week about it, and because of that incident, he was moved to shelving. It always seemed the manager always picked on him, he was kind to everyone else but him. However today, something different would happen. Usually Levi just stood there and took it, but now that, now that he was fired, he had nothing to lose. "No" "What did you say to me?" The manager was just about to go on a rant "I SAID NO!" Levi screamed at the top of his lungs, "Ever since I joined this place you always despised me, and when you found out my parents were gay, it was the perfect opportunity to have a go at me! I just stand here, getting demolished by your words, but no MORE! I hate you, you shout at me for no reason, I'm surprised you haven't physically assaulted me yet, considering you've basically assaulted me every other way, and your lucky I'm such a nice person, or else I'd have beaten you up long ago. Screw you Paul, you're the worst thing to happen to this planet!" Levi was fuming now, "And one last thing, you can't fire me! I QUIT!" Levi finally stood up for himself, and boy did it feel good. He then stormed off, past the crowd that formed to watch the argument       He shouldn't threat to much on the past, the future seemed lie a much better option, considering that since he quit, he wouldn't get the final paycheck he deserved, there wouldn't be enough money to pay for the rent, meaning he be kicked on to the street, where he'd spend the most of his time looking for a job. "Well might as well get a head start" he said getting out of bed proceeding with his daily routine.       An hour later and he was getting dressed for the day ahead, it was going to be a long day, but short day. After tying his shoe laces, he grabbed his phone, earphones and its charger. Putting on his backpack and grabbing his keys he unlocked the door and stepped out in to the corridor slowly making his way downstairs. Unlocking the final door, and stepping out into fresh air. He took a deep breath then sighed happily, reaching for his phone will placing the earphones in his ears. "What should I listen to" he said scrolling through his songs, "something to get me exited for the big day" His thumb suddenly stopped on a certain song Eminem - Till I Collapse "I guess this one works" tapping on the song he started to walk away from the building.       It was quite sunny outside, with some clouds here and there, Levi just payed attention to shops that he passed, the road he walking on, and his music, "Music is like magic there's a certain feeling you get when your real and you spit and people are feeling your -" His music was cut off by a large crash of thunder in the distance causing him to jump and scream a profanity. When he calmed down he just stopped, looking around to make sure no one saw him scream like a girl, when he assured himself no one was looking, he realized it was going to rain soon, meaning this had to be done quickly. Speeding up Levi probably about two miles and a half away from his flat, which took him at least an hour. He soon realized no one needed his help, he just wanted to runaway, especially since the rain had started, and boy did it pick up pace. Levi turned off his music shoved it in his pocket, he was getting hyped.       "A race home, that should get the adrenaline running and the blood pumping" picking up speed as the sentence finished. Halfway home, and now the almost black sky was being lit up by lightning, he knew he was losing, but he didn't care, it was fun. "I can't believe how great this feels, even though I'm all wet, better hurry or else I'll start to feel pain in my damp clothes" He said laughing to himself, if one person knew how to cheer him up, it would be himself.       Realizing he could take a short-cut through a field, he changed direction, slowing down as to not slip on the mud. He was now jogging at a medium pace, slowing down into walking pace. Might as well take in the momentary glimpses of nature given by lightning strikes. "Speaking of lightning strikes" he wondered, "there hasn't been that many since I got into this field" he was about to call it off as there just not being any lightning at all when suddenly he was knocked out, all he saw was a flash of light. .-- .... .- - / -.. --- / -.-- --- ..- / - .... .. -. -.- / .- -... --- ..- - / - .... . / ... - --- .-. -.-- / ... --- / ..-. .- .-. ..--.. Meanwhile in Equestria 2 hours earlier       Twilight was sat in her library studying the trajectory's and speed of newly discovered comets. I was 10 O'clock in the morning. Spike was still groggy from waking up, but then again he always is. Spike decided to check the fridge for some left over gems, or at least the ingredients for a lettuce sandwich. To his dismay there was neither, slamming the door shut, he called out to Twilight, "Twilight!" no reply, "TWILIGHT!" he shouted louder, still no reply "TTTWWWIIILLLIIIGGGHHHTTT!!!" his screams echoed through the tree       "What do you want spike? And you don't have to shout you know!" Spike face palmed so hard, he was surprised it didn't end up at the other side of his head.       "Were out of food" he replied, his stomach rumbling       "Well then go to the shop"she replied uninterested       "But I have no more bits left, I spent them all on gems, which we have no more of"       "AUGH!" She sighed, a bit annoyed, "Fine, you can take 5 Bits out of my savings, and NO more. Don't think I forgot about the time you almost made me bankrupt" she scolded him, he just looked to the floor ashamed, but happy that he could go get some food.       "Alright Twilight, thank you, I pro- pro- *BURP*"       Flames burst out Spikes mouth, almost scorching Twilight's mane, a letter appeared out of the baby dragon's flames. The letter was sealed in a red sun badge, showing a letter of great importance from the princess herself. Twilight rushed to pick it up and opened it at some speed. Dear Twilight Sparkle It seems my calculations of the upcoming centennial *SUPER STORM** have been some ways off, I predicted it to happen within the next fortnight or so, but as the storm is quite unpredictable, it... is... Well, happening in the next hour. I know this may come as a shock to you, as you haven't prepared anything to document it, and for that I deeply apologize. It seems this storm is going to be as strong if not stronger as the one that happened a millennium ago, as that one caught of guard by about a week. But as you already know, there's nothing to worry about, as the area its affecting is still the same, I've ordered evacuation of everyplace near Hayseed Swamps. It is also being blocked off as you read this letter.* Now about how the storm may bring another life form from somewhere else, don't threat yourself over it, that's only happened three times, the last time it happened was three and a half millennium ago, even I was not around to experience that, so taking that into account, I sincerely doubt that there may be a new life form being added to the equestrian plains any time soon. But in case your still hopeful, I'll be there to accompany you, just on the slight chance something interesting might happen. Although there probably won't be anything, it would be nice to 'hang out' (as the youth say) with my former student. No regarding your last letter on astrophysics, I have no idea, if you wish to no about space please contact my sister instead, as I am sure she'll be delighted to help, and she knows a lot more than me on anything to with space. You assume this as pushing the burden to my sister, maybe, but I assure you I don't know anything, not even what the nearest star to earth that isn't the sun. So don't think I wouldn't like to help, as I would if I could. Your regards Princess Celestia       Unbeknownst to Twilight, Spike had left while she was reading the letter, but at this point she was to busy panicking, what could she do? Her storm studying equipment, wouldn't be here for another day or so, and now she had to find a way to get to Hayseed Swamps, in under an hour! Considering she lived one and a half hour train ride from there, it seemed impossible to get there on time. There's not much you could do the faze Twilight, but not being able to get somewhere on time was one of the ways you could. Its never enough, a lot of times when Twilight has a problem, it sometimes seems to get worse. Oh my, what a disaster, if only there was someway she'd be able to get to Hayseed Swamps in time, but it seemed like a lost cause now. It's almost impossible to get there right? *Knock Knock*       The door opened, revealing in tall regal, colourful maned Alicorn. The Alicorn in question gracefully stepped inside of the tree. "Twilight?" She asked, "where are you? The chariot to take us to Dodge Junction is here, and if you don't hurry, I'll be forced to leave without you!". At this Twilight perked up her ears, there was a way she could get there on time, an ecstatic Twilight then ran down the stairs and jumped to hug her former teacher and fellow Alicorn.       "Princess, I can't believe your here, I thought you were going to be waiting for me at Hayseed Swamps! And that you were going to be upset that I couldn't get there on time."       "Oh Twilight, I knew you wouldn't have enough time to get there, so I decided to personally come and collect you, as we might as well have a chat on the way there, before we get down to business."       "Oh thank you thank you thank you, I don't know what I'd have done if I couldn't get there, I'd have been so unhappy. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me!"       "It's okay, its the least I could do, as I know you've been waiting so long for this opportunity. Now we mustn't waste anymore time, as the time gap we have to get there is shortening."       "Alright Princess, just let me get a couple things first, as I still need to document this phenomenon, as it does only come around every hundred years, so I'll be right back." Twilight then scurried off to collect an assortment of tools and items.       When she finished, she and Celestia walked away towards the chariot, it was going to be along day ahead of them. As soon as they took to the sky, Spike returned home with an abundance of groceries, only to realize the door was locked. "Darn it Twilight, I told you to always keep a spare key for me!", he now had to find an alternative place to have his breakfast. "Fluttershy's place seems like a good place to eat food, hopefully her animals are still sleeping" Spike spoke aloud, hopefully they were. .. / ... .. -. -.-. . .-. . .-.. -.-- / .... --- .--. . / - .... .- - / -.-- --- ..- / --. ..- -.-- ... / -.. --- -. .----. - / .... .- - . / -- -.-- / ... - --- .-. -.-- .-.-.-       Soon Twilight and Celestia arrived at Dodge Junction, with ten minutes to spare. The whole place was deserted, it sent shivers down Twilight's spine, it was a ghost town in here. The only life was that of scientists, guards, and that of she and Celestia. She eventually reached the edge of the swamp Twilight were forebode from entering the swamp during the storm, as the amount of danger her life would be in was too damn high. So instead of risking her life Twilight was kept out of the storm by a protective shield made by Celestia, and the guards protecting the area from unauthorized citizens. After about five minutes, Twilight could see the rapid forming of a storm, it was unreal, she hadn't seen anything in the sky form so quickly, and with in seconds of that thought, the rain started, and it wasn't your everyday rain, this rain was so fast and strong, it looked like the swamp was covered in a thick mist, she could only make out the tree only a few metres in front of her. In sight of the awe that was going on inside the magical shield, it only just occurred to Twilight that she should be taking notes       She quickly jotted down everything she saw, it was load, really really loud, but silent at the same time, as no words had exchanged between her and Celestia, it seemed pretty intense. Just as she was writing down about the density of the shield that was protecting them, a sudden flash, brighter than anything she'd seen before, mad her jump so high, she was flapping her wings. She didn't understand how something could be so bright, it out shone the sun, in comparison the sun seemed to dwindle in light power.       After Twilight collected her bearings, she scrambled to find her equipment, it was all scattered from the bright light, but that was the least of her concerns. About 10 seconds after the flash of light, an eardrum shattering noise could be heard from inside, Twilight was lucky that the shield muffled out sound, or by the time she realized what was going on, she'd be in a hospital. Putting two and two together, Twilight concluded the light earlier was actually that of a lightning strike.       Thirty minutes passed, then something strange happened, it was another flash of light, but unlike those of the past half hour, it wasn't followed by any crash of thunder, this was so confusing, even Celestia had a discombobulated face, and to add to how confusing it was, the light was so powerful, it killed off most of the storm, things weren't going right, in all her years, this never happened to Celestia, she was worried that the storm had changed its patterns, this would be disastrous for the future.       Before the sudden flash of light, it seemed that the storm would rage on for at least another hour or two, but within five minutes of the light, the storm dwindled down to nothing but light showers, the mist was all gone, and all that was seen was a flooded swamp, and areas of high ground. The only things left standing were: Trees, extremely strong vines, durable moss, and lot of rocks. The view was extraordinary, the swamp looked more swampy than before! "Wow, I can't believe how much has changed, and in so little time!" Twilight spoke in astonishment.       "As much as an amazement it is, I don't feel like its safe to go in unguarded, as the last Super Storm didn't disintegrate at a flash of light, it seems weird to me." Celestia replied to Twilight's non existent question.       "What do you mean Princess?" Twilight asked, confused, "are you saying what happened today hasn't been documented before?"       "I'm afraid so, and for that reason, you'll have to stay close to me, so I'll be able to protect you from any harm"       "I understand Princess" Twilight, although an Alicorn, was still not as powerful as Princess Celestia, and if Princess Celestia says that there might be something dangerous, there was probably something to be wary about.       And with that Twilight and Celestia entered the swamp, side by side keeping up with one another. The searched almost the whole forest, until Celestia stopped in place, she sensed a disturbance in the realm of magic, soon Twilight also picked up on it, what caused the disturbance wasn't a pony, it almost didn't feel like any animal native to Equestria. What was going on, and how could they stop it? Tracing the disturbance the came to a small highland clearing, and on it was an unconscious, bipedal, animal? Boy did this peak both Twilight and Celestia's interest. What in Faust's name was this creature? They both cautiously walked up to the body, it seemed to not react to their movements. "Is it dead?" Twilight asked       "No its still alive, but its unconscious, it seems to be some sort of intelligent life, as it is wearing clothes, and it does have a backpack."       "What are we going to do about it, not that its a danger or anything, its just that-"       "I understand what you mean Twilight, for now I suppose we could take it in and study it. We do however, have to be careful, as we don't want to hurt it. Twilight, pack your things were taking this creature to Canterlot laboratory." And with that, Celestia proceeded her magic to pick up the creature and carry it back to the chariot. It was somewhat heavy, by her calculations of magic weight lifting, around 80kg, it also appeared to be 6 foot tall. It was larger that most ponies, it was still however smaller than Celestia, and maybe Luna.       When they reached the chariot, there was shocked faces all around, what was this thing that Celestia had brought out of the swamp? What ever it was, it didn't seem to be native, and it wore clothes, clothes! That would only mean two things, one it that it was an intelligent life for, or it was at the higher end of its species, and being rich doesn't mean your smart. After she Twilight and the creature were on the vehicle, Celestia spoke up. "Gentlemen would you kindly take me, Twilight, and this new creature to Canterlot laboratory"       "As you wish your highness" Both guards replied at the same time. And with that they took to the air. -.. --- / -.-- --- ..- / --. ..- -.-- ... / .-.. .. -.- . / - .... . / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. . / - .... .. -. --. ..--.. / .. / -.-. .- -. / ... - --- .--. / .. - / .. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- / .-- .- -. - .-.-.- At Canterlot Laboratory       Celestia and Twilight were walking through a spotless white corridor filled with lights, doors and trolleys filled with equipment, whilst talking to a brown mare with a curly green mane and tail, or as she was known the head in biology, "So what your saying is, you just found him in the swamp just laying there, and you just took him?" Dr.DNA asked       "Wait, how did you know it was male?" Twilight counter asked       "Honey, did your parents not have the talk with you? If not I'd be happy to tell you about it." Twilight just blushed and looked away from DNA, "Now back to my question, did you?"       "Well DNA-"       "Please call me Deoxyribo"       "Well Deoxyribo, in all my years of living in Equestria, I have not once seen this creature before in my life, so it came to my concern that this might be a new species"       "I can see how you'd think that, and since nothing on my notes matches with your description of the creature, its fair to say that it might as well be a new species, or one that happened to find its way to Equestria"       "That maybe true, but you can never have too much precaution"       "I disagree, but we'll have a discussion on precaution later, right now I want to see the specimen you've brought me. And speaking of that, here we are, room Bio674"       DNA opened the plastic doors, leading into a another white room, filled with lots of utensils, a bed, two trolleys, a large desk, a lot of folders, and I mean a lot! Curtains, and some cupboards. It all seemed very organised and clean, but then again that was to be expected in the best laboratory in Equestria. On the bed lay the creature they found in the swamp, its clothes were still on, but that was about to change, as DNA started to remove his clothes and backpack delicately, as to not damage any hair on his body. Celestia told her not to damage the creature as it could prove to be helpful, and that and harming a creature that they knew nothing about isn't the best of ideas. As soon as the clothes were removed, they were soon empty, as all kinds of things taken out of the, such as electronics, gum and what appeared to be the creatures version of a wallet. Celestia opened the wallet to see if she could find any information on the creature, picking up his bank card she read out the details, "It appears that this specimens name is Mr. Storm Violo, it appears he was valid from 04/13 and that he expires on 03/16." Celestia then realized the mistake she made, and face hoofed really hard she felt some pain. "I'm so stupid sometimes, this is a card that lets him do things, and it expires on 03/16"       "Sherlock Hooves would be proud." DNA joked, "There might be something in that backpack of his, why don't you check it out" she said getting out that weird thing so she could listen to his heartbeat. "64 beats a minute she said after a while". Celestia turned to the backpack and slowly unzipped it and pulled out a folder, it was filled with sheet music, that which a composer would use, it had songs ranging from 'Palladio' to 'Encanto' it was obviously not in order.       "It appears that our subject is a vivid musician, he seems to have a varied taste in music, one a composer would have. Well at least we know an interest of his." Celestia spoke up, "it would be a shame to let these pieces go to waste, so I might donate them to-"       "Don't do that!" Twilight cut off Celestia, "for all we know those could be something he holds dear to his heart, adding to the fact we still don't know how he acts!" Celestia was obviously shocked by the sudden outburst by Twilight, she never acted like this before.       "If you insist Twilight, I guess the music could be quite important to him. I guess we'll have to ask him questions when he wakes". She replied calmly putting the music back into the backpack and retrieving some other objects.       Soon an assortment of his items were laying out on the table, it ranged from a stick with razors on the end to a bottle filled with orange liquid. It was all very strange to the ponies in the room. the stick with razors on it was in some sort of plastic packaging, its name was apparently 'Gillette' they had no idea what this meant, but there was also a can that had same name as it. Next to it on the table was something from his clothes, it appeared to be an gadget of some kind, and the top of the object read the word 'SAMSUNG', what are these weird object this creature brings to Equestria, the gadget had some wire connected to the top, it eventually broke off into two parts and each part ended with these weird bulb...ish things. Next to the gadget was a weird blue block gadget thing connected to what appeared to be a charger. There were several other things like the blue block gadget, only they differed in size. What on earth were these things? Moving on there was a bad filled with quite a lot of thin rectangular objects, and putting two and two together, Celestia realized that they fit into the blocky gadgets. And last but not least were a few bottles that had different coloured liquids in them, some were called 'Lucozade', others, 'J2O'. and the rest just seemed to be filled with water. All of this was very interesting, very interesting indeed. Five Hours Later       "Well, I've finished the report of this creature, he's 5'11, he weighs about 87kg" I was close Celestia thought, "it also appears that  he's sentient, and his brain to body ratio is... Well it's around 1:40". As DNA finished her sentence mouths were dropped.       "B... Bu... But how's that possible, ours isn't nearly that good, in fact, I'd be surprised if anypony got a 1:1000 ratio, let alone a 1:40 ratio!" Twilight was astonished, in all her years of research, it appeared that the smaller you were (most of the time) you had a better ratio, for example, ants had a ratio of 1:7, and sharks had a ratio of 1:2496. That when it occurred to her, "It [brain to body comparison] was only hypothesized to be the rough estimation of intelligence. so what I'm assuming is that its not as smart is the test makes it out to be" she said, trying to believe that this creature wasn't smarter than them       "Twilight, I think you skipped a detail, yes it may not be as smart as us, but the test proves that it's sentient, so best not to throw any thing out the window" DNA said stopping Twilight in her tracks, "Now lets get the elephant out of the room. His magic is not the same as that of Equestria, but for some reason, its excepting him, and he it." DNA stopped to see if there were any questions, none, "Since this has never been documented before, I'm not sure if this always happens, or if he just happens to fit in well with Equestria. So we'll just have to keep tabs on him as life goes by. Any questions?" DNA asked before walking back to the machine by the creatures bed side.       "Yeah I have one, its about-" Twilight was cut off by an audible groan, everyone quickly turned to look at the patient, he was waking, well at least it answered Twilight's unfinished question.       Levi was waking up, it seemed to be a long time since he remembered anything, the last thing he remembered was a large flash of light. "Ugh, were am I" he spoke aloud clutching his head, trying to get himself into a non-disorientated position. He noticed he was lying on a bed, in what appeared to be a hospital, but without any clothes. "What did I do to get here, and why am I naked" he said lying back down on the bed. Unbeknownst to him, he was being closely observed and studied by three life forms. Still trying to get his bearings together, Levi started to look around the room, looking to the left he noticed three figures standing beyond his somewhat blurry vision. He kept staring until his vision got better, when it did get better, that's when he saw three multicoloured ponies, one of them had a horn like a Unicorn, and two of  the had a horn and wings like a Unicorn mixed with a Pegasus. "It's official, I'm having a dream. Thought it was real, but after seeing these multicoloured ponies, its fair to say that I'm having a dream"       "I can assure you its anything but" The white one spoke, "Greetings, whatever you are, I am Princess Celestia, this" she spoke pointing to the purple one, "Is my former student, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and this" then to the brown one, "Is DNA, or Deoxyribo as she prefers. And welcome to Equestria!" She spoke out in a large but welcoming voice. Princesses and someone called DNA, I must be in the mental house...       "Riiiiigggghhhhtttt, and I'm an alien that wants to phone home" he smiled at his not so awful reference.       "I can see you don't believe me, why don't you smack yourself to see if your awake" The white one replied smugly       "Alright I will, and if I get hurt, you better have an explanation!" Levi wasn't the brightest when it came to pain, so he hit himself, and boy was that a stupid idea. *SMACK*       "ARRGHH! OH GOD I'M A DUMBASS!" Levi screeched in pain grabbing his face, falling off the bed and rolling every, oblivious to the cold floor, "WHY DID I DO THAT! FUDGE THIS HURTS!"       "It appears that your not dreaming then, now lets get straight to business. First off, whats your name?"       "SCREW YOU WHITE PONY FROM HELL!" Levi was now curled up into a ball, and was still clutching his face, "AND WHY AM I NAKED!" Levi was still concerned about his public appearance.       "Can you at least answer my question?"       "NOT UNTIL I GET MY CLOTHES BACK!" It wasn't until then Levi realized he was shouting, "Sorry I mean, can I please have my clothes back first". It wasn't much, but Celestia still managed to crack a smile at his apology.       "Alright then" she replied levitating his clothes towards him.       "Thank you" He said grabbing and quickly putting his clothes       After a bit Levi was fully clothed, wearing some dark blue jeans, a D-Generation X shirt, a thin red jacket with its hood down and zipper undone, some black socks with the Nike logo on it, and some white Nike trainers. He wasn't the most fashionable of people, but as long as it looked decent, Levi wore them. "Now about those questions" Celestia reminded him       "Yeah, yeah, I'll answer them, I'm a man of my word"       "Man? Never mind, now anyway, whats you name?"       "And you want to know this why?"       "Well for starters, you appeared out of nowhere, I'm the co-ruler of this country, your a creature that's never been seen before. I can go on and on if you want"       "Okay, okay I'll tell you. My name is Levi Violo"       "Really, because it says on I card I found, your name is Mr. Storm Violo."       "Storm is my middle name for your information" and a pretty bad-ass one at that, "and what card does it say this?"       "This one right" Twilight spoke up, giving him his bank card       "Wait, if you have my bankcard, does that mean you have the other things that were on me?" nodding Twilight pointed her hoof towards the direction of the table.       "There was a lot of stuff ranging from gadgets, to music, to razors on a stick. Also before we give you access to your equipment, whats the razor thing for?"       "Oh that, its so I can shave my face."       "Shave?"       "Yeah, my face grows hair, and it cuts the hair off of my face, though, I only shave the area around chin and cheeks though" he spoke trying not to mention the other reason.       "Can you give us a demonstration?"       "Only when my facial hair grows back, which it hasn't right, so maybe in 2-5 days tops"       "Interesting" Twilight said scribbling down information on a notepad which appeared out of nowhere. "Oh yeah, you can go check the items now" Happily, Levi got up and walked over to his belongings.       Gazing upon them Levi was happy to see that the belongings he still had were one that he liked, everything from drinks to his handheld consoles. He glanced at his phone and tried to turn it on, it surprisingly did, but with only 8% charge left. If only there was electricity in this place he sighed wait a minute he glanced upwards my god, those lights are electrical, there may be hope for me yet smiling like a freak he practically (happily) hopped towards backpack which was situated next to the table on the floor. Picking it up he slowly unzipped it, and what he saw made him ecstatic. "OH YEAH BOY! IT'S STILL HERE" he screamed, everyone else in the room turned towards him.       "Whats still here?" A surprised Celestia       "My music, when I was in school this was my life!" Celestia turned to Twilight who was looking at her with a face that read the words I told you so, Celestia unhappy she was wrong, but happy she didn't make a mistake. You win this round Twilight she thought turning back to Levi to see him flicking through the book giddily like an filly finally getting the ice cream they wanted.       "I was about to donate the book to the museum of music, but Twilight here, persuaded that you might have it for a reason, or that it had sentimental value to you." And without even thinking, Levi got up and gave Twilight a huge hug.       "Thank you" he whispered to her grasping tighter.       "No problem" she replied losing her breath, "I... Need... To... Breath" Unclasping her Levi started to blush.       "sorry about that. Its just I'm really thankful you didn't let my music go. I... It was, and it still is my life." he apologized with a huge smile on his face, if it wasn't for her most of his memories would be somewhere else by now.       "Are you some sort of composer? As the music wasn't dedicated to a specific instrument."       "Funny story really, I was one of the top 10 junior composers in the country I lived in, just short of 6th place. Although I blame that to me also being a pro sports person, and a master in different types of instruments. Grade 8 in five different instruments, grade 7 in seven funnily enough, and bunch of other instruments in different grades. I kind of decided that if I had Grade 6, i didn't need anymore training. Now I think about it I was really stupid to not take up a career in music." He told them, he was actually surprised he didn't get called by his old school, or people who heard of his expertise. Oh well, I guess it didn't matter now. He then stopped thinking for a moment and looked around the room to see mouths dropped, if they could they be touching the floor. "What?"       "Your musical skills are outstanding! The best musician in Equestria doesn't even come close to how well you play, and they only have two grade 8's! It's unbelievable how skilled you are at music" DNA finally spoke her first words to Levi       "Well you know what they say"       "No, please enlighten us" Celestia said       "I don't either, I was hoping you had an idea" he smiled smugly. This was going to be a long day for everyone. Thirty Minutes Later       After a while of having friendly conversations, talking about the differences between his world and theirs, everypony was starting to warm to Levi, he was a great guy to be around, he just made everyone feel happy and calm, "You know what i don't get?" Levi asked       "What?" Twilight replied       "That, I've been here for quite a long time, and yet I've already welcomed the idea of living in a place where my species doesn't exist. I guess it's because I'm such an accepting person, but it feels strange that I haven't reacted weirdly, well except from that bit where I called you a 'white pony from hell', which I sincerely apologize for"       "Apology accepted"       "Thanks, and anyway as I was saying, it all feels strange to me"       "We all understand how you feel, kind of, the fact is we were planning for every sort of scenario, in case you weren't as you are now, and were glad that a scenario we didn't plan happened, as I think we all prefer this one right?" Twilight turned her head to DNA and Celestia who both nodded quietly, "So yeah were glad it turned out like this"       "I thank you all" Levi said grinning, "The only thing is, what do I do now? I mean, I've been here for what I assume not even a day, where am I supposed to stay, I mean, its not like I own or rent a house"       "Well I suppose you could stay in the cas-"       "He can stay with me in the tree house, as everyone in Ponyville is friendly, ponies would react weirdly in Canterlot, and I'd like to know about him" Twilight cut off Celestia       "If that's what you wish Twilight, and if its not to much of a problem on our friend here"       "No no no, not at all, in fact I'd be be delighted to stay with Twilight. And I'm also honored you consider me a friend"       "Think nothing of it, and I'm sure you'll be making many friends over in Ponyville. I just hope you fit in fine, and if you have any problems, me Twilight and any of the friends you make will be available. And as its getting quite late, I'll have to be leaving, I do have a sun to lower after all. So until then, farewell" Celestia told leaving the three beings alone in the room. It was still a shock to Levi when he found out Celestia raised and lowered the sun, he didn't think something like that could happen. The amount of power it would have taken to move a star would have been intense, so he made a mental note to not get on her bad side.       "I too think we should be heading off Levi, as we want to get home before dinner, after all you must be starving"       "Not really, but I could use something to eat. So if were going, I should get my things"       After a while, Levi had collected all of his belongings, a walked up besides Twilight and made his departure thanks to DNA. Boy did he have a hell of a life ahead of him.
