Chapter 2 : Mane 6

Our heroes continue their adventures and go on to meet the Mane 6...

30 minutes of nothingness later

As you may of guessed; Aaron is a master in the arcane arts. These abilities come with shape-shifting into animate and inanimate objects, Aaron told Jacob this... They are currently playing a real life rendition of Prop-hunt, With real ammunition, and real people...

Jacob is currently a hunter as he cannot shift forms; Aaron is currently a Prop, A cup to be exact, but Jacob doesn't know that.

"Come out little pig..." Jacob said; wielding his trusty shotgun.

"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin." Aaron replied; standing on a tabletop.

"Are you a book? Because I'm sure that's against the rules in a library" Jacob asked and stated.

"Uhhhh... No?" Aaron said, unsure of what Jacobs implying.

The front door opens and reveals Twilight and Spike. She is wondering what Jacob is up to as he is looking around cautiously with his 'rifle' in his claws. "What are you doing?" Twilight asks. Jacob proceeded to let out a totally manly scream and jumps for cover behind the couch, he then peeks up and to his relief sees Twilight.

"I-uh-we are doing nothing of utter importance to this current situation as this is obviously not me searching and shooting Aaron." Jacob says guiltily and in one breath.

"Where is Aaron exactly?" Twilight asks Jacob.

"Somewhere..." Jacob says. "I don't really know."

"I'm everywhere! heh" Aaron says with a manical chuckle for emphasis.

"To say it now. We are playing hide and seek, sort of, but with our rules and guidelines." Jacob clarifies.

"What ar-" Twilight is cut short by a cup 'jumping' behind Jacob.

"Ooh! is that Spike? the young dragon assistant I heard of?" Aaron asks exitedly.

"A game? Can I play with you guys!?" Spike asks with a wide smile.

"Sorry kiddo, this is an adults only rendition" Jacob said. Spike looks dejected now; good going Jacob.

Twilight then asks if there is a way to stop this game.

"Yes yes yes! One of us needs to give up!" a still hyper Aaron says."If he gives up, I win; I will NEVER EVER give up... EVER!"

"Could you two please just stop, my friends think it will be a good idea to meet you two." an annoyed Twilight says.

"Okay" The heroes say in unison.

Jacob then proceeded to say "I give u- wwwwhooa" He then gets slammed by a rainbow blur. At this action Aaron then goes to laugh his currently ceramic ass off.

"Who are you? Are you a Spy?" the rainbow one says, an orange pony then charges in and pulls off the rainbow maned pony.

"A-anyone get the name of that technicolour train?" a dazed Jacob asks. Aaron has stopped laughing then proceeds to jump in front of rainbow one... As a cup

"Hi there! what's your name? does it include Rainbow? By the way, I used to be a spy! Does that count?" This hyper cup kept on asking her.

"What in Tarnations are you?" the orange one asks. "ah swear I'm seeing a talkin' cup"

"Aaron, please stop doing that and become -uh- yourself." Twilight asked. Then stowed away information saying that Hyper Aaron is like Pinkie Pie.

"Awwww, Okay" the cup then jumped up onto the red couch then mumbled "Entrance time."

The cup burst into blue flames as it shifted and contorted into a much larger being. The silhouette of a bipedal being was seen as the flames died down. What was left was the form of Aaron; sitting in a cross-legged position, holding the ceramic cup he once was. "Good Afternoon" was all he said.

Everyponies jaws hit the floor and Spike blurted out "That. Was. Awesome!"

3 more ponies entered the room. One had a brilliant white coat with a stylish purple mane she looked on in horror and disgust; eyes focused on the duos choice of clothing. Another was pink, and bouncy; very energetic. And the third was completely different from the others, with a butterscotch yellow coat and beautifully long pink mane. She locked up at the sight of them and went to hide behind the orange stetson-wearing pony. Aaron felt a heat on his face; luckily hidden behind his emotionless black mask. Then he set the cup on the coffee table and then Twilight cleared her throat. This snapped Jacob out of his daze and he jumped up and ran over to the couch to sit on it.

"Gentlecolts; I'd like to introduce you two to my friends, or they would introduce themselves to you" Twilight looked at them with slightly pleading eyes.

Pinkie Pie started first by jumping into the duo and sitting between them. "Hiimpinkiepiebutyoucancallmepinkiedoyoulikecupcakesilikecupcakes*gasp*yourenewherethatmeansineedtoplanapartydoyoulikeparties?"

Aaron answered all questions "I prefer muffins, sadly. But I LOVE parties!" The ponies present looked to Aaron in shock. "What?"

Orange pony spoke "Don't tell me you can understand that!" she said.

"Don't tell me you can't understand that!" Aaron replied with fake shock. Orange just glared at him.

The white one cleared her throat.

"Im Rarity Belle. owner of the Carousel Boutique. I must say that those clothes look dreadful; Maybe I could make something better for both of you."

she then tried to use her magic to pry off Their masks. Aaron's mask is enchanted so it cannot be pulled. Jacob used his hands to stop it then said "Don't touch the helmet!" in an annoyed tone.

"Fine; But I just want to see what's underneath." Rarity Harrumphed.

"Some other time." Jacob said in reply.

The orange one stepped up next.

"Ahm AppleJack! Proud owner of Sweet Apple Acres; Tha best supplier of apples in all of Eqestria!" The then looked the two over. "You two look like ya got quite the bit-a muscle on ya"

"Thank you for the compliment Miss AppleJack; I may just stop by sometime to see this Sweet Apple Acres." Aaron said.

"We could use ta help if ya interested in it; ther will be pay" AppleJack said.

"I might just be interested" Aaron mumbled.

Then his vision filled with cyan.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, you used to be spy and you still could be; keep in mind, I'm watching you." She threatened. Aaron just sits completely still, un-fazed, he then smirks beneath the mask.

"Really? You're going to be watching me? I bet I can take you with both my hands tied behind my back and no magic." Aaron Rebutted.

"Oh its on metalhead!" She replied.

"Could you two settle your disputes later? This is important!" Twilight said with a raised voice.

"Fine" Aaron and the pegasus said in unison.

Now the Yellow one is left. She got Aaron thinking how to approach this without startling her. He came up with a brilliant idea.

He then put his hands behind his back and removed his gauntlets; After that he proceeded to kneel down to her level, showing off his pale hands.

"Hey there, I'm not going to hurt you" he said. She looked at his hands then looked upwards towards his face, She then eeped and hid again. Aaron sighed and decided it would now be a good time to remove Vokun. He gripped the tip of his hood and pulled it back; showing his dark chocolate hair and pale neck to the ponies; Rarity leaned forwards in anticipation. Then he took hold of the bottom of his mask, and proceeded to remove it from its magic grip. His face is not one that would be called pretty; pale skin, glowing blue eyes that pulsed with magic, multiple small scars with a huge one that narrowly misses his left eye. The ponies in the room gasp as the sight before them had never been seen before; even Jacob gasped. The Shy one heard this and looked towards him again. She saw what was possibly his face in his hand and looked upwards. Her mind was full of questions; like how did that happen or does it still hurt? The one thing that surprised her is her own wings. *Pomph* The were stiff and wouldn't go down. Rainbow was on her back, laughing at Fluttershy's predicament.

"What's your name?" Aaron asked her.

"I'm F-Fluttershy" she said.

"Fluttershy, a beautiful name" he said. Fluttershy is very red now and stuttering like crazy. Everypony, plus Spike and Jacob, went slackjawed at the events unfurled in front of them. Even Rainbow Dash; who has stopped laughing.

Aaron then stood up and went back to the couch. He set his gauntlets and mask down on the table; next to the cup. Rarity seized this opportunity to get a closer look at the metal, but found that she could not lift them through levitation.

"Excuse me, but what metal is present in this alloy? It's darker than anything I've seen and the designs are remarkable." Rarity asked.

Aaron answered with this "That metal is no alloy. It's completely natural and harder than obsidian. Ebony is its name and it is one of the rarest metals found on Nirn. The masks design is not mine; this is an ancient dragon priest mask known as Vokun, Sorrow, there are 10 masks that can be found in Skyrim; there's one wood and one bone, the other 8 are made of all metals found in the tundra."

"How did you come across this then?" Rarity inquired.

"Really?" Rarity nodded "I got this by killing the Dragon Priest of the same name; you happy now?" Aaron said; with a hint of annoyance. Everypony in the room paled a bit, even Rainbow Dash.

"Y-you k-killed somepony?" Fluttershy said with fear.

"Technically; he was already dead, a smart zombie, a lich." Aaron clarified. "And evil; it was evil."

"Oh... Okay then" Fluttershy said, she was a bit calmer around him knowing it was already dead. Spike is currently quaking in his non-existent boots; he has read somewhere of a powerful magic user that killed the tyrant Alduin and his Priests, but he is long dead. Right?

"Moving on!" Jacob said. "Anyone want to know anything about me?" Rarity's hoof shot up; "Yes Rarity?"

"We've seen his face; what does yours look like?" Rarity inquired, "Please." She added.

"Okay, but only because you said please." Jacob grumbled out. Rarity squee'd in delight. Jacob then reached to the sides of his helmet, where he proceeded to click something out of place. he then lifted the top of the helmet off; showing his natural light brown curls he then set the top on the table. Next he reached lower; clicking even more items out of place. Now he removed what looked like to be some sort of breathing apparatus and set this down along side to top. All that he has on now is a semi ski mask and the red bug eye glasses. He removes the glasses; showing off his brown eyes. Next came the semi ski mask; that he just pulled over his head. Jacob had tanned skin and a clear face, void of any scars or burn marks. He looks just the same as he did before they drifted. Rarity then blushed at the handsome man in front of her. The other ponies were just confused, as they expected him to be war-ridden; just like Aaron.

Fluttershy had used this time wisely to make her way over to Aaron; she then nudged his left leg. "May I sit with you? If it's okay, that is." She asked in a whisper. Truthfully; she just wanted to be near him.

"um sure." Aaron whispered back, to make sure they weren't heard, then he moved to his right to allow her to sit down. She sat down to his left and during Jacob's unmasking; she then slid closer and closer to Aaron until she was practically touching him, and proceeded to lean against his left. Unexpectedly he lifted his left arm and put it around her, allowing her to move even closer. Once she was right against him; she leaned back a bit, putting the back of her head against his chest. They both had intense blushes at the point when the unmasking had finished; showing Jacob in all his glory. Applejack had noticed that Fluttershy had moved and that she and Aaron were sitting like a couple would of the corner of her eye; but all she did was smirk and say nothing about of it. All attention was on Jacob and the two thought that nopony saw them, they were correct aside from Applejack, but they didn't know that.

The day drew to a close after 4 hours worth of questions from the 6 ponies and a very scared dragon. They were particularly surprised to find that Aaron is a college teacher and teaches Masters level magic in Skyrim as a whole; literally the only one that's qualified he said. None of them payed any attention to the way him and Fluttershy were sitting except for a quick glance at them, which they were both grateful for. They were sat like that for the entire time, happy smiles on both faces and a deep shade of crimson on both of them. When it was time to leave; Fluttershy turned round and nuzzled Aaron, which he nuzzled back to. She then jumped off the couch and made way for the door; happily prancing in the brightest of moods. Aaron was left with the dopiest smile he ever had since his first girlfriend. It was then that both Twilight and Jacob noticed, Spike went to bed saying he needed to get up early.

Twilight then proceeded to show them their room, which was equipped with two comically small beds with oversized comforters.

She then left them to their own devices; gone to get ready herself.

As the two heroes stripped down to their underwear, nothing they hadn't seen before, Jacob asked the question Aaron feared the most.

"You like her, don't you?"

"I don't like her..."Aaron mumbled

"Oh okay, you like like her then!" Jacob finalized.

"Okay yeah, fine, I like her like that! Just don't get in my way again. Please." Aaron replied in a small voice.

"Really? You'd think that id go after a pony? It's not like we're trapped in this world, we would be going home any time and I will be back to dating human girls again." Jacob said in a strong defiant voice.

He really does not know, Does he?

"Lets just get to bed; we have more days tomorrow, and I have something to look forward to now."Aaron ended it there, saying no more.

Little did they know; Twilight had written everything down and woke Spike to send it to the princess. Everything, including what Aaron and Fluttershy did earlier. Now she just has to prepare how she is going to introduce them to Ponyville tomorrow.
