Philosopher of Earth

+++ Right after the Throne door closed +++

That went well. Thought Celestia. The human, Cheese as he called himself according to Twilight, seemed peaceful enough to live among ponies. And as long as he was provided with peanuts, he shouldn't have to kill any wild animals. And the knowledge he had could be invaluable to Equestria and its ponies. Making him a friend was an overall good decision. Her thoughts were interrupted by a cough from behind one of the pillars.

"Luna, you know it's rude to hide while there are guests." Celestia called out. Her younger sister stepped out from behind the pillar.

"How did thou know it was me?" she asked.

"That is your favorite pillar to hide behind, nopony else would dare to cough in the throne room, and thou isn't used anymore." Celestia listed off. Luna ignored the correction.

"What did thou think of the human?" she asked. Celestia sighed.

"I think it was a good idea to capture him, or befriend him as we did." she replied.

"Perhaps... But I know what his dreams are... I told you when he was captured, something is in there that wants out. He is dangerous, and shouldn't be handled like an ambassador from another country." Luna reminded her sister.

"I know what you said about him, but I think that he is mentally stable for now. So we will handle him with the utmost care, until he proves otherwise." Celestia stated.

"What about the guide you're assigning to him?" Luna asked. "Won't that pony be in extreme danger?"

"I've already decided who is going on the assignment." Celestia said. "And, when she recovers, I think she will prove more than a match for Cheese."

"When she recovers? Who are you talking about?" asked a sincerely confused Luna.

"Let my next appointment in!" called Celestia.

"Sister? Who are you giving the task to?" Luna asked in a warning tone. A limping on a crutch Silver Star then walked into the throne room, she had arrived on the same train as Cheese, but they had not known they had been on the same train.

"Luna, have you met Silver Star yet?" whispered Celestia to her sister.

"I read about her in the mission reports dear sister, why her?" asked Luna in the same whispered tone. Celestia ignored her and greeted Silver.

"Hello Silver! How are you feeling?" asked Celestia. Luna stood in an agitated silence.

"My leg still hurts, but not nearly as much, the doctor says I should be back in action in no time! Your majesty." replied an ecstatic Silver.

"That's good! But I'm afraid you're going to be, back in action, much sooner than you think." said Celestia in a I'm-sorry-for-dumping-this-on-you tone.

"Sorry?" asked a confused Silver Star.

"Don't worry! It's not anything like any of your previous assignments, and it's a special task that only you can handle!" reassured Celestia.

"Only me? What's going on your majesty?" asked Silver. Celestia sighed.

"I would like you to act as a guide for the human, Cheese." she said hesitantly. Silvers jaw dropped. "You can say no Silver, but keep in mind you are the best qualified and it would only be temporary." added Celestia.

"Best qualified?" asked Silver, looking like she didn't hear Celestia correctly.

"You've dealt with Cheese the longest, were part of the team that captured him, and made the closest contact with him."

"You mean when I tackled him, he broke my leg, and then stuck a stick to said leg?" Silver asked. Celestia thought for a moment, going over the question.

"Yes, that about sums it up." she nodded.

"For how long?" continued Silver.

"As soon as he feels comfortable with Equestria, and ponies with him." stated Celestia. Silver sighed.

"When do I start?" she conceded.

"As soon as the train gets back in Ponyville." stated Celestia.

"Buck me..." whispered Silver to herself.

"What was that?" asked Celestia

"Nothing!" Silver shouted, louder than she meant to. Celestia smirked.

"I know it's  a lot to ask, especially from a mare with a broken leg, but please accept..." begged Celestia. It was now Silvers turn to sigh.

"Fine, I'll do it." she said. "But! I would like a week paid vacation when this is over!"

"Done." smiled Celestia. "Go pack your personal items, and spend the day in Canterlot! The train leaves for Ponyville at five tonight." continued Celestia.

"Yes, your majesty." Silver awkwardly bowed, and exited the throne room. Celestia sighed again and turned to her sister that had been silent the entire time.

"In addition to the reasons I gave Silver, IF Cheese's mind is as fragile as you say, then I hope the fact that he already saved Silver from death, will prevent him from wanting to kill her." Celestia said to Luna.

"So, you choose Silver because of the likelihood of his mind breaking is high enough to consider that, Cheese, may go berserk and go on a rampage, and you hope that because Cheese saved her in the past, means he will not want to waste his past actions? And you want somepony close to him if he does fold, one that would survive a fight?" summed up Luna.

"Exactly."

"An interesting reason to consider sister..." replied Luna. "But, what about her leg?"

"Judging by your estimates... I believe that her leg will be long healed before Cheese snaps." stated Celestia.

"I don't know sister... The last time I visited his dreams, he was a mere shadow of the human that I first saw..."

"All we can do now is hope, and let the Bearers of Harmony know what is going on in Ponyville..." suggested Celestia.

"Do you really think it'll come to that?" asked Luna.

"I don't want to imagine what it will take for that to be necessary..."
