Ponyville Restaurant: 1:22pm

Jamir's POV: On our way to the restaurant, i passed by plenty of ponies who were very polite and nice to me, not unlike those damn jerks back in Detroit.

speaking of which, i wonder how the family's doing right now, must be worried sick, if only they knew this is where i want to be. That brings to a question I've asked my self once before: would anybody miss me, should i just vanish from the face of  the earth? my answer? could care less. besides what have they done for me? nothing at all, so i say screw them. anyways we were waiting for the waiter to come and take our orders when Twilight started some friendly conversation. ''So Jamir, if you wouldn't mind me asking you some questions about you?'' ''sure  go ahead, ask away.'' i said.

''First question: how old are you?''

''16'' i said.

''Second Question:you said that you were a human, so how many of you are there?''

''Rough estimate, 7 or 8 billion i would wager. after i said that she had that look as if i was a fish with legs. ''what?'' i asked.

''Amazing!'', all of equestria only has about 5 million, and that's including those in tartarus!'' she said. ''too much for you Twilight?'' i joked.

Question 3: ''Who are your rulers back in your world?''

''we don't have ' rulers' kind of overrated if you ask me, but we have a Democracy, where we the vote for who we want to lead and where it is the people's government and they decide on how they want things to go about happening.'' i said not knowing if that was 100% right, but i'm little fuzzy when it comes to things like that.

Question 4: ''Then who raises your sun and moon then?'' she asked.

''Yea, you see nobody does because it does not work like that, it is a simple matter the planet's position along with gravity which moves them along different intervals of time, and under some occasions the day or night could be longer or shorter.'' i explained.

Question 5: If that's true, then do humans have magic?'' she asked.

I let out a little laugh at her question, even though it would be nice to have magic, that is a luxury that only happens in anime, but i know in my heart that one day, however long it may take, humans will have magic, and leads us to world war 3, but good thing i'm here in equestria than back on earth watching people kill themselves.

''No, Twilight we humans do not have magic, rather technology which you could consider a form of magic, but downgraded.'' i said.

Question 6: '' what is this 'technology' you speak of?'' she said looking rather spicy, if you get that.

''well you know how you have trains that can take you places on the railway?''i asked. they all nod. well imagine if this train could go at speeds at which if you blinked you would miss a mile land, it's sleek, comfortable, and in some cases have a bathroom on board, and the best part is, even though it is by a little bit, the train levitates off the ground by a few inches, and powered by electricity.'' I explained wanting to see the look on their faces, and as i called they were shell shocked,so to speak.

''That's so awesome!'' Rainbow said

''yea, i guess so, any more questions Twilight?'' i asked ''No, not right besides i have enough information as it is for now, besides we can talk about this later,our waiter's here.''she said. (just imagine the waiter in ticket master)

I took a look at the menu,and was shocked to find out it's in English, or at least i think so. to give a decent example it would be really cursive writing,  i could understand most of the words to know what i wanted while the rest placed their orders, when he got to me i ordered something that you would probably look up to see if it was edible, but thanks my to knowledge of botany, i knew i could eat this. ''I'll have the dandelion soup with the chickweed salad and a glass of sarsaparilla.'' i said putting down my menu.

En route to Sweet Apple Acres

Franks's POV:

Well after the food and light conversation the mane 6 and Jamir had, we found ourselves exploring ponyville to get a better lay of the land, since the show only gave us so much go on. right now we're on our way to sweet apple acres so Applejack can teach us  about applebucking  so Jamir could if they needed help, plus he would get paid which is also nice. but on the way there i couldn't help but feel as if something was off, just like that feeling we had when we boarded the bus, not so much as a threat, but uncertainty as to which it could be. so naturally being the curious spirit i am, i went to go see this disturbance, but i had to let Jamir know first. for some reason whenever i don't tell him i'm going to explore outside his body i can't get 5 feet without being sucked right back in.''gotta figure that out.'' i said. '' hey Jamir, i'm going to check something out, i'll be back.'' i said. ''what type of something?'' he asked.

''don't know, but remember that we had on the bus?, it's just like only stronger.'' i grimly stated. ''ok, but be careful, i'm not sure how to feel about this'' he said with a sad tone. ''Don't worry, we'll figure it out, but i really need to go and see just what the hell has us feeling this way'' i said vanishing away.

Still Frank's Pov

you know how the world has funny way of proving you right or wrong depending on which side you choose? yea well ignore that, because whenever your instincts tell that something's up, never brush it off like dust because it can and will come back to bite in the back at some point. But i am glad i trusted my instincts because what am i smack dab in front of? discord himself. well at least in stone form that is. but Discord! why didn't i think of this before? ''he must be responsible for how we got here, but how when he's stone?'' i mused to myself. as a i contemplated breaking the statue to get some answers i know that would never work.   ''me and Jamir's only hope to get some answers out of this joker would only work if we played this by the book.'' i said a little disappointed. There's only one way....to wait and let the mane 6 and elements of harmony take care of him, but that's who knows how long away?

guess we're stuck in a waiting game discord.... but fret not me and Jamir intend to play for keeps. ''your time will come discord....your time WILL come.'' i said going back to join jamir and the others. but then i began to wonder exactly how i came to be and if me being here was a mistake. but knowing Jamir he would say: FLASHBACK, 4 years ago: May, 2011: '' don't say that!, never say that!, you do have purpose, and do you need to be reminded of what that is?'' Jamir said four years ago. ''no, because i know what it is, to just be a nuisance.'' i said feeling defeated. ''Wrong!'' he said with a smile,'' Frank, bud, my best friend in the world, your purpose is to give me advice, to have my back, you bring out of the darkness and into the light, you turn me around when i go the wrong way, and you bring up when i'm down.'' he said almost crying. '' you and only you can do all of those things, ''why do think i made you? for a waste of space, then you're wrong.'' he said ''you're right'' i said with new found vigor.  '' of course we are, different  sides of the same coin.'' FLASHBACK END.
