"Just as planned..."

I came into the room to see Twilight hovering over the bed of the now sleeping Shawn, Twilight looked to be deep in concentration, her horn lit up purple casting dancing shadows around the dark room. "Twilight I don't think you should be doing this without his permis-"

"I could do this to any animal without their permission. Why not with this one?"

"But he is not an animal, he can talk."

"I just have to make sure it's not dangerous, for all we know he could be a pony eating monster!" Twilight stated before continuing with her scan but once she reached his head her magic cut out. "That's odd" Twilight scowled and lit up her horn again still aiming at his head, she furrowed her brow and her horn grew brighter and brighter as she poured more energy into the spell. Just as her horn reached a light bright enough to rival the sun a crack and a bolt of energy came from the still body and knocked Twilight away into the far wall.

"Twilight!" I ran over to the unicorn that slowly got up with a groan.

"I'm okay Fluttershy." Twilight said with another groan "why can't I scan that one part?"

"Well he asked me if there were any other humans. Maybe he isn't from this part of Equestria, maybe some magic just does not work with him."

"Maybe"

"Have you sent Princess Celestia a letter yet, does she know what he is?"

"I sent her a letter but she still has not replied! I'm starting to worry."

"Well, she is a Princess after all. She might just be busy."

"Maybe, but she almost always answers right away! If he wakes up be sure to tell me." Twilight blinked out of the room without so much as a goodbye.

I sighed into the empty room and went back over to Shawn to see if Twilight had accidentally hurt him in her scanning. He seemed to be fine, so I went down the winding stairs to get some sleep.

Meanwhile in Canterlot.

A scroll fluttered to the ground to rest at the sun princesses hooves. "No, this cannot be... they couldn't be back, me and Luna killed them all!I choked past a sob. I don't think Equestria can deal with these... monsters...

I rushed to Luna's room frantically pounding on the door. I heard a muffled groan that sounded the awakening of my sister. The door opened and a blurry eyed Luna trotted out. "What is it Tia?" Luna questioned not quite awake enough to notice my disheveled state.

"Twilight's friend found a creature that seems to closely resemble a human." Luna froze and looked straight at me. I handed her the letter and she looked through it, eyes becoming wider with every word.

"It.. it can't be! We killed all of them! We even did a scan to see if there were any left!" A bright green flash appeared above me and I caught a second scroll in my magic. I opened the letter and read out loud.

Dear Princess Celestia.

I have visited this creature that Fluttershy told me was called a "human" and his name was Shawn. His body structure is quite a bit different than ours and after a brief magic scan it was shown that ~~it~~ he is an omnivore. Something irregular happened when I tried to scan his head though. The first time I tried my magic was cut out but the second time I tried with all my strength and his body discharged a shock wave and knocked me into a wall. Do you know what this creature is? Please send me a letter back, you still have not responded to my last one.

Your Faithful Student Twilight Sparkle

We both fell into silence pondering how it was possible that a race me and Luna both wiped out could be back again. "...How?" Luna said what both me and her were thinking.

"I...I don't know..."

I suddenly jolted awake sitting straight up in the too small bed the thoughts of the previous night coming back to me as I stood up and rubbed my eyes. I felt more tired than before I fell asleep.. weird. I walked down the stairs. To my pleasure going down the stairs was much easier than going up.

Once I reached the end of the stairs I looked around, immediately noticing the lack of animals and the delicious smell wafting from the kitchen. My stomach grumbled hungrily reminding me of my missed meals. I proceeded to the kitchen where I found the same butter coloured mare-what was her name again? I think it was Fluttershy? Well anyway, she was cooking what from the smell of it appeared to be pancakes.

I called out to her.

"Eep!" She jumped a few centimeters in the air and wheeled around to stare up at me.

"Hello." I said waving my hand in a brief wave.

"Hi, you should still be in bed you're healing." I waved my hand in a dismissive gesture.

"Psh, I'm fine."

"No, you're not. After breakfast you are going back to bed." Fluttershy said quite courageously before shrinking back "If that's okay with you..."

I rolled my eyes at the last comment but decided to accept the fact that I wasn't going to win this argument. "Fine."

"Okay, now you go sit down while I finish making these." I walked over to the table and sat down with a sigh. Staring down into the deeply etched wood, it looked like shes had this table for quite a long time. It took not even a minute for her to finish up the pancakes and set a stack of them in front of me. I quickly dug in with the supplied fork and knife. I heard the pony giggle from behind me, but I was too hungry to care. These pancakes were delicious and there was no way I was going to stop eating them until I devoured all of them! It didn't take me long to achieve that goal, as soon as I finished my feast and Fluttershy led me back to the upstairs bed, it wasn't to hard getting up the stairs with the yellow ponies help and before I knew it I was tucked into the bed and fast asleep.

This time my dreams weren't filled with blood and gore but with a yellow pegasus and heart warming smiles; maybe this won't be so bad after all...
