You wake up sweating while your heart races like a horse, or should you say, like a pony. You look around to see that you're in Twilight's guest room. All of the past few days of memories come washing over you, your friends were actually dead and you're still in this strange land. You sit up on the bed putting your face in your hands.

"How did any of this happen? None of this has a logical reason! Unless I'm in a weird afterlife state, if so, it doesn't seem bad as hell would be so that's a plus. I'm not a scientist, I shouldn't be pondering how this shit works, I need to clear my head. A walk around town maybe? Hell, find a job even? Wait what currency do they have here? Shit, yeah I need to think this with a walk."

You get out of bed grabbing your gear and suit up, you leave your helmet on a small night stand next to the bed thinking you won't need it on a walk. You walk out into the hall of the second floor and walk down it towards the bathroom door. You check your watch seeing how it's around 7 in the morning.

"None of them should be up yet, all I need is to rinse my face and then grab an apple to go."

You open the door to the bathroom, to see Twilight's back to you while she's fixing her hair from what seems to be from a shower by all the steam in the bathroom. You blush from the sight and close the door loudly "Shit, sorry! Didn't know you were in there!"

"Well fuck, first day of her letting me stay here and I've already stumbled into the bathroom, great."

You hear a little "eep" before she responds, " It's a-alright, I'll b-be out in a minute.." After what felt like an hour Twilight walks out with clothes and not a towel while not even glancing at you as she walks down the stairs to the main room of the library tree house? Thinking about it you'll just stick with it being a house as you walk into the bathroom and look at your self in the mirror.

"I look like shit.." You have light bags under your eyes and you look quite noticeably paler then you have been in the past. So you turn the faucet to cold and splash some cool water onto your face then wash off your face with a nearby cloth.

You walk out and down the stairs to the kitchen seeing a purple and lime green lizard kid. "Uh..hello..?"

"Hey, who are you? Are you that Human that Twi has been writing to the princess about?" Says the slightly confused kid.

"Yeah, that'd be me, and what's this about Twilight writing to a princess about me, let alone her writing about me in anyway" you say a little creeped out but glad to know what type of government there is here.

"Oh, Twi writes to the princess about resent studies or occurrences that have happened in ponyville. She is the princess's most faithful student." You are slightly surprised at the last part of what he said. You think about it for a moment then grab an apple off the counter and say you're heading out for a walk but stop forgetting to get the kid's name.

"Uh kid, what's your name?"

"It's Spike, the assistant to Twilight"

"Cool, see you around" As you walk into the morning sun feeling the heat pour onto you, you look around to figure out a way to start walking. You take a right hopping it'll lead to some where useful. While you walk you take in the sights around you, the buildings architecture, the bright blue sky, the colors of all the different ponies, but then you notice something. What's with all the mares? You've only seen a handful of males here and there. "Strange, to say the least, I'll ask Twi later about it, but for now I have a mindful of shit that I got to clear. Jobs, maybe enlist into the military here? Or some small security job at a club? I'll take a look at the security one first. So you start heading off towards where Twilight pointed out the club that ponyville has near some of the bars. Once you get to it, you notice the name in what would be during the night, a bright ass neon sign saying "Welcome to Club Tier Pony." What did you expect from a small town club for a name. You also notice it to be open, strange for how it's only morning, but what do you know, you haven't been much of the big party kinda guy. You walk in and up to the bar looking around the place. It had a dance floor in the back with a DJ booth over looking it, a few tables around the middle, booths along one of the sides, and a bar with all sorts of alcohol. Some were mixed colors of neon, while some were pitch black with a swirling color in them. You stop thinking about the types of booze when a bartender walks over to you.

"What would you like?"

"A job if you're hiring" you say with a slight smirk on your face.

"Afraid there's no more room for bartenders"

"Not looking for an opening for that, more like a bouncer, for the DJ, inside, and outside the place."

"Oh, well, we don't get too much trouble here I'm afraid but thankful for."

"What about the times you do? Or even if some group and not just a person?"

"We got..our ways..of dealing with punks if they try something" He says as he taps under the counter.

"What if they out numbered you? Or even if they out powered you?"

"Are you going to keep being persistent if I say no?"

"Yeah probably."

He sighs "Alright, you start tonight at 8, be here and try to wear as much black as possible." This brings a slight smile to your face.

"Thank you, and what's your name?"

"It's Bottle Shine, oh and you work as the DJ's guard tonight, also no alcohol on job."

"Yes sir." You give a little salute before leaving the club with a little smile.

"Looks like I'll have a busy couple of days. Also, this shouldn't be that hard should it?""

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter, had to push this one through the grinder so if it sounds rushed let me know. I'm hitting some walls for creating some story so if there is only a chapter a week then I'm sorry for the few who look forward to my story. And if you guys/girls wouldn't mind throwing me some name ideas that'd be super duper. Hopefully i get some more ideas by this weekend if not it'll only be a chapter, again my bad.
