Jamir's POV:

''The  world as we know it are many things, yet all the same: I explained to my imaginary friend''. ''It is our actions that define how we stand in the world as it is'' I carried on.  ''so now I stand at the one place i have come to be disgusted with,more or less'' I said. I look to see a school in the distance which i just hate because i merely attend there. ''I really wish i could get away from all of this, but knowing those chances, we'd have a better chance of catching flies'' my imaginary friend, Frank explained. ''HA!'' I replied. My name is Jamir Johnson, I am 16 years old, I live in Detroit, Michigan. Right now I'm talking with my best partner and Imaginary  friend in the world, Frank Graffias. Right now, we're discussing various topics while being at this shithole I call a school: Central high.''So what do you wanna watch when we get home?'' I asked.

''What about My little Pony FIM?'' he asked, knowing i would yes. ''Fine, but if it's lesson zero, then count me out, can not and will not watch Twilight freak for about the hundredth time'' i said. ''come on, that's what made so funny!'' he exclaimed. ''Yeah for you, but think about how she must have felt after the fact.'' i pressed. ''Whatever, we can debate more when we get out of this damn school and back to the comfort of our home''. he said ''Truer words have never been spoken'' i half agreed and half joked. ''Wait so what's your next class?'' Frank inquired. ''fortune enough my favorite class because it's last'' i said. ''Well better get on in there, I'll talk to you afterwards Frank said. ''later,'' I bid him farewell until class was over.

TIME SKIP: 1 hour and 25 minutes.

''Woo!'' i exclaimed to free the shackles of that classroom. ''Well someone seems eager to get home''. Frank quipped. ''Yeah, you're not the one doing all of the work.'' I replied.

''So, home?'' he questioned. '' not just yet.'' i said '' oh?'' he said. ''Then where to?'' he questioned with a sudden interest growing. ''Think about it, it is hump day, and what do we do on hump day?'' i asked him. ''Oh yeah!'' he said. ''To the library for some manga!'' '' On the nose'' i said while tapping mine to show he had the answer. ''Manga, here we come!'' i proudly stated while posing like the pharaoh after the transformation scene off of yugioh.

TIME SKIP: 5 minutes to the library.

''So what are looking for today?'' Frank asked, and for some strange reason he stars in his eyes. ''I was hoping you could tell me,'' i explained. '' Still thinking about what we might want to get this time, don't really know'' i said. ''Well how bout i name off a couple we might not have gotten yet''? he suggested. ''Ok, but make it quick, the library's in sight'' i told him.  ''Maken Ki?'',''Angel Beats?'',''Rosario Vampire?'' '' Ben-to?'','' Demon King Daimo?'', ''Black Butler?'', '' I Don't Have Many Friends!?'' He shouted while it being almost incoherent . ''read it'', ''read it'', read it'','' read it'','' read it'',''read it'', ''and we just had the last one last week'' i said annoyed that he forgot. ''Well, i guess we could see what they have this time'' he said. ''yea, hopefully they have something we like this time'' i said with a tinge of hope.

Time SKIP: 20 minutes later at Jamir's house, Frank POV:

''Ugh!'' jamir yelled. ''I can't believe they kicked me out, those jerks!'' ''Well to be fair'' i said, ''they did find that you have some overdue books and you did throw a little of mini tantrum.'' i said while trying to hold back my laughter at the face he was making. ''What's so funny?'' he questioned. ''Just that whenever things like this happen, you do the same thing you would normally do: contemplate what happened, then blame the world''. ''So i have to blame something, besides, it's not like i did anything wrong.'' he argued. ''anyway, don't you think we should explain to our wonderful readers where we are and what we do''? ''What the hell are talking about, man?'' he questioned looked utterly freaked out. ''nothing, nothing, just some...techno babble.'' i lied.

''Anyway, not that did not interest me, but are going do our normal routine or not?'' he asked with a little impatience. ''Yea, i suppose, besides not everyday you get to do something you want so you should cherish it because it could  be gone just like that.'' i said being completely  serious. ''Alright, don't' get your panties in twist'', come on we got anime and my little pony waiting for us, and best not to disappoint ourselves by not getting there quicker''. he concluded. ''Fine, another issue for another time, i suppose''. not wanting to argue.

Mind Shift

Jamir POV: Henry Ford Hospital, Downtown Detroit:15:25

You know that feeling you get when you think: 'oh this'll be a good day, nothing will hold me down, and you start dancing like Pharrell  Williams when he did happy? yea well this is not my day. I just found out that my grandmother has been sent to the hospital  in icu for her lungs failing i think, whatever that doesn't matter right now, what does  why pardon my language: WHY DOES THIS SHIT ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME! ''No!'' i yelled punching the wall outside the hospital, ''damn, pretty i cracked a bone with that last one''. i said so ticked off. ''whoa, whoa!'' Frank said trying to calm me down. ''anger solves nothing, jamir, you know that'' he said making a valid point. ''i know but what if she need surgery, or they found some growth, or blockage, or.. ''Enough!'' Frank yelled. Even if they did what could you do about it huh? you think you're not the only one suffering, think your mother, brother, sisters, or worst of all your grandmother!'' ''uh...'' was i could get out.''how do you think she must feel about this, and even more, about you doing this to yourself after you promised her you wouldn't stoop this low again!'' ''yea but, i hate just standing around and being able to do nothing, this is the world's fault, it did this!''  ''just like it always does!''i yelled. then i broke down and started crying, unable to bear it. ''look, i'm sorry for what i said, but you need to get yourself under control, i'm going to take a rest, let me know if you need anything''. he said fading back into my subconscious.  Afterwards i got up and decided i needed a walk, it always calms me, either that or mlp but since the latter is not available, guess i can settle for thinking about it. so that's what i did, i walked and walked and walked some more. for how long, i lost track but never let it be said i didn't calm down.

TimeSkip:  1 hour After leaving the hospital.  still Jamir's POV

After i caught the bus to more familiar surroundings, i blew out a puff of cold winter air and continued on with my trek. as i look down at myself, i mentally take note of what i have and if it's noticeable. pretty simple: a tan or pale yellow type of bulky worker jacket, my snapback, levis, and nikes. ''looks good'' i said. more along the i began to think about the one thing at any other time could calm me and give me a sense of purpose: my little pony. I found out about one day while looking through dish tv, and there it was.'' a show about ponies?'' i questioned. at the time i was skeptical, but am i glad i took that chance and watched the episode that started it all for me: Suited For Success. At first i was way behind as i did not know who was who until i had to re-watch it 3 times just to be clear. it taught so much in that one episode alone about the 'so called magic of friendship'. how all the characters interacted, their feelings, attitudes, personalities, etc told me that in a way not too far i was like them. each one of the elements of harmony i represented in one way or the other. my generous  nature from Rarity, my laughter from pinkie pie, my honest truth from applejack, loyalty to those who have earned from rainbow dash, slight shyness and kindness  and anti social life from fluttershy, and as for magic, well, let's put a pin in that. '' how i yearn to go equestria, if only i could, pretty much impossible'', i said not wanting to fool myself, 'how i would give anything to be there, at least i know the world can work for me there.''if only, if only'' i said shedding a single man tear. ''You ok man?'' Frank asked me out of nowhere.'' F-F-FRANK! how long have you been listening?'' i asked hoping he did not hear me. ''The whole time'' he said looking rather sympathetic smile.  ''well, no snarky comment, nothing?'' i asked. ''no'' he said, ''because i want to go with you too.'' he said being completely  confident. ''Well while we share the same dream, i'm afraid, that will never happen'' i said with obvious sadness. ''really?'' he asked with smug look on his face. oh no, not this again, oh great another one of his famous: 'uplifting quotes about life'

5 bucks says it's about trying i said in my mind. ''if you don't try, you've already lost. called it i said while hiding a small smile. ''well then professor, how do think we could get to equestria?'' i asked with next to no hope in my voice. ''i don't know, but there has to be a way, we've yet to find it.'' he said. ''huh'' was i uttered. ''well i think we should get back home don't you think?'' i suggested. ''eh'' Frank replied. with that little fiasco taken care, we go to board the next bus that'll take us back, but something feels off about it. it's not the type of feeling you get when you sense danger, more the type when you're unsure if this goes good or bad,and thank you world again for proving me right, it turned out i was right, when i sat down on my seat on the bus started moving pretty fast pretty quick, that's when that feeling was dead, i was going to die from a damn bus malfunction, just great, well be sure to write on my tombstone: the world has.... and that was all i could get before i got pushed out of my seat in the air heading for the window, my last thought before blacking  out was:  wow... the world is just pissed at me before it faded into black.

Is This What I Think?

Is This What I Think?

Time: unknown

Place:unknown

Jamir's POV:

Darkness,all i could see was darkness, well best put my other senses to work and figure where in the sam hill i am.''let's see: hearing?  i hear birds, subtle blowing of the wind: check:touch? i feel grass, really soft grass, alright, by process of elimination, i must be in a meadow somewhere.''ok, making progress'' i said''. and now now smell: the air smells so clean, and not gasoline filled.Well now that checks out, i can open my eyes.''whoa'' i say. this is beautiful, a lush green meadow near a forest  with nice flowers, trees, and whatnot. but in the distance i thought i saw something that made me almost do a spit take, if i had water, that is. the thing before is something i sought to be made from myth in times of old. If my  mythology serves me right, and i know it does, i'm face to face with a manticore. it had everything, from the scorpion tail to the lion mane. At that one moment i three choices: run and let it kill me, curl up in a ball and hope it leaves or my favorite option: wing it. ''Hey Frank, you might want see this!'' i said with no fear at all. ''ugh, what happened to-IS THAT A MANTICORE?!'' he said with a slight tinge of fear in his voice. ''yep, so what's your preferred method of attack with this?' i asked with a slight itch to fight.

''well these creatures have been known to quite the aggressor,quick as well, i would recommend going for stinger, since it will prove a bigger worry at the moment.'' he said in full lecture mode. ''well how would suggest me going about removing it without becoming string jerky?'' i joked. '' based on yours and the creatures's agility compared, the course would be-LOOK OUT!'' he shouted. i nearly and just barely dodged that humongous paw in the way that would have been my face. ''STAY ON YOUR TOES!'' he ordered. ''right!'' i dodge out of the way again and just as last time dodge another one of those paws. ''Man!, this thing's quicker than it looks!'' i complimented it even if it had no mind. ''I think i just found a way to end this'' frank said. ''how?'' i pleaded. ''this will be a very close call, so you need to stay on your toes as you have one shot.'' ''fine!, i got it, now what is it?'' i asked. strike the top of the head, this creature is merely a juvenile, so it's skull still be developing, a well placed hit can fracture the brain cause shock and internal bleeding which will lead to death.'' he explained. ''That's great and all, but how am i supposed to do it?'' i said seeing no real way to kill this thing.

''Think about  it''. he said '' use the stinger against it to make kill itself.'' ''Got it!'' i said with glee. so i rushed at the beast with a plan that would do or die, and fortune enough i play to win.

while charging at the manticore, i had find a way to get off guard long enough for my plan to work, so i ran as fast as i could around it in the hopes of making it dizzy, and sure enough it worked. '' THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO DIE!'' i yelled. just to add flare i did a cartwheel towards the manticore, while at the last second turning it into a series of back flips to land on it's head and if all went how i envisioned it, he would try and drive in his stinger in me and fail, like i called it. at the last second i jumped off, letting the sharp object penetrate the skull like butter. a roar was heard and thump and the beast fell over and perished  by it's own hand, or paw so to speak. '' take that fido!'' i exclaimed of my victory while being pretty winded from all of that.

''Excellent execution, but the extras back flip of the creature was not needed'' Frank said, worried i would get hurt. ''Lighten up, Franks it's all in good spirit'' i said while feeling very proud i just took a creature of myth down, and by myself, no less.

afterwards i heard  a sharp gasp from behind me and who do i see looking at me in fear? fluttershy of all ponies.

1st thought: '' well at least the question of where has been answered, now should i ask if she can understand me or let her do it?''

2nd thought:'' Oh holy hell, it's fluttershy, she's even more cute in person then i thought she would be!  oh i just want to grab and hug her,i should get her autograph-wait they can't know about the show!''

3rd thought: ''ok... i just killed an animal in front of flutteshy, great thanks a lot world, not here one day and already some melarky to deal with, ugh, maybe i should frank take he's better at talking then i am.''

That's when she spoke i had chose: ''um, h-h-hello?, c-c-can you understand me?''Fluttershy said with absolute fear and hesitation.

Introductions Are Key

Equestria,Everfree forest outskirts, ponyville:

Time:10:20am

Fluttershy's POV:

''Oh dear, that poor manticore, but more importantly, what is that huge creature that's in front of it?'' my subconscious asked. I mistakenly moved forward and let myself be seen while letting out a small EEP! ''The creature already sees you, Fluttershy, so it would be pointless to try and hide from it.'' I decided i talk to it, or to see if it talks. so swallowing my fear, I asked: h-h-hello? c-c-c-can you understand me?'' I asked not being aware of the outcome that followed.

''Y-Yes, i can understand you miss...'' ''Fluttershy, it's Fluttershy'' i said with some strange new found confidence as if wouldn't hurt me when i showed myself.

''Well miss Fluttershy i apologize that you had to witness.. that happening, but you saw that i had no other choice right?'' the creature asked with hesitation.

''oh of course, you did what you have to, but i'd prefer if you didn't... you know.'' i explained. ''by the way, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?''

i asked with a growing curiosity.

Jamir POV:

'' Wait, so she's not mad about me killing that thing?'' i asked kind of dumb founded since she she sorta went all assertive  on the dragon in dragonshy, so you could see why i am a tad worried. ''No and besides, would you just let it kill you without a fight?'' frank asked rhetorically. ''of course not,just thinking about a different way.'' i said.

''Well, my second question is should we let her know about the show or not?'' i questioned. ''....no, you should do your best to keep it secret, at least to the point where they can trust you enough, then you should tell them, otherwise something's bound to come our your mouth that gets us in trouble'' he said, looking a little annoyed.

''Noted'' i said

''well, fluttershy, do you think you could tell me exactly where i am?'' i asked faking, knowing where i am.

''oh, you're in the outskirts of ponyville'' Fluttershy said. ''Ponyville, huh? never thought i would end up in a place like this'' i said with a deadpan tone.

''well, if you would like, i could take you to  town and introduce you to my friends, they're nice ponies'' fluttershy said with a cute little smile.

''Sure, and besides after that little fiasco  i had with that manticore, made me a little hungry'' i said with a slight growl of my stomach.

''well, if you're ready, we can get moving to the farmer's market, i think they have a special sale today, so i could cook you something if you'd like to'' fluttershy offered.

well, this has taken a turn for the better, i need to stop second guessing myself about these types of things. in any case i was met with the opposite  reaction, was treated nice, and now i'm being offered to meet the rest of the mane 6, talk about luck. seeing as i had nothing else to do, i only said what i deemed right. ''lead the way, fluttershy'' i said.

A Good Day, A Really Good Day

Ponyville, Equestria

Farmer's market, Time:11:40

Jamir's POV:

You know the old saying right? ''Strangers are just friends waiting to happen?'' yea, well the world hit the mark on this one. Now it was not all sunshine and rainbows, but i did get a few stares and comments, granted that would happen, i mean how you think you saw something that's twice as tall as you and looks like it mean business? but besides all that, me and fluttershy have been talking on the whole way here. i explained to her about earth's flora and fauna, and i got to say she, look kind of entranced about it. i held back from asking the obvious questions, as it would blow my cover, so i decided that i should take the easy approach and ask kiddy questions just to be safe. ''So, fluttershy, what do ponies normally do for fun?'' i inquired wanting to know how they get by without tv, computer, or worst of all anime! ''well, we mostly read, talk to each other, have parties or do our things'' she said. not wanting to pry further, i chose to ask about her friends, even though once again mind you i know all of them. ''So you said you had some friends you wanted to introduce me to?'' i asked. ''oh yes, as a matter of fact, we can meet one of them, she works at the bakery over there. ''sugarcube corner, now i can finally answer my question if their sweets are as good as they say'' i said to frank in my mind.

''For both our sakes, i hope your wrong'' Frank said. ''and why is that?'' i asked. because we'd would normally have to deal with a normal hyped up pinkie, so one on sweets would be like coke and mentos, messy, huge, and sticky'' he said sounding kind of disgusted. ''i see your point, well i'm sure it won't be tha-OOF! i hit the ground, hard and speak of the devil, there she is in all of her pink glory. ''HI WHAT'S YOUR NAME, YOU LOOK SO STRANGE, ARE THOSE CLAWS,  WOW YOU'RE REALLY TALL, DO YOU LIKE CAKE?, I LOVE CAKE! OH! I HAVE TO  THROW A PINKIE MEETS FUNNY CREATURE I LOVE CAKE PARTY! GOTTA GO SEE YOU! BYE!'' and that was said all pretty fast before she zoomed off like the roadrunner off  to who knows where. ''oh jamir are you ok?'' fluttershy said worried. ''i'm fine, but why does it feel i got hit by a twister?'' i said disoriented. ''well, that was just pinkie pie being pinkie pie, knowing her she'll throw a party''. she in a matter of fact tone.

'well, are any of your other friends like this?'' i said with a small smile behind it.'' oh no, the rest are nice'' fluttershy said. ''well seeing as meeting one your friend has caught my interest, we might as put a hold on that food and meet the rest''. i said with a fake exhausted tone.

''well, you could go and meet rarity next, she's a seamstress over at carousel boutique and i'm sure she could make you some new clothes.'' she said

''o yea, forgot about my clothes'' i said. it was nothing horrible, but i did need a change of clothes. my pant had a tear in the right lower leg, my shirt was torn from the top of left shoulder to my belly button, giving somewhat of diagonal slit , and as for my hat , a piece of the brim got  chucked off,'' but at least  i'm not naked,'' i thought.

''yes, we are fortunate enough, we did die upon our arrival, otherwise i don't know what they write on your tombstone, something like hairless ape, maybe?'' frank joked. ''yea, yea yuck it  up '' i  joked.

TIME SKIP: 5  minutes later

Carousel Boutique 11:45

Still Jamir's POV:

when i laid eyes upon the boutique, i had a few words: ''small and frilly, yea that about does it. ''. i said '' So your friend rarity could make me some new clothes?'' i asked hoping for a satisfactory answer. '' oh yes, rarity's one of the best around, i'm sure she would have no trouble  making you some clothes.'' fluttershy said.

we went inside and it looked pretty much the same as it did on the few occasions i saw it on the show. a bell ringed to alert out presence, not 3 seconds after, we hear a ''coming!'' a few seconds later and there she is: rarity the unicorn in all her pride. the elegant white coat, perfectly styled mane, and  the trio of diamond cutie marks, yep, all there. ''Fluttershy!, what a pleasant surprise, what  brings you to the- oh!'' she said after laying eyes on me. ''Rarity, this is my new friend, Jamir, he was out at the edge of the everfree forest, and he need some new cloths since his sort of got tattered when he fought a manticore.'' fluttershy stated.''a manticore? however did you vanquish  that creature and not come hurt?'' Rarity asked looking utter dumbstruck.

''Simple,'' i said. ''I used my speed and stinger against it, ultimately, his downfall was inevitable'' i said shrugging my shoulders. ''Well, my good sir, that takes courage and  strength to pull of such a feat!'' Rarity said with grace. ''I would be happy to make you some quality attire, sir.'' Rarity replied.

''Well thank you miss Rarity , i only wish i could pay you back for this, but i have no money'' i said looking like a dumb deer in headlights.

''Not another word, i won't take no for a answer.''she said. '' in that case, thank you for your generosity, Rarity, knowing your handiwork from a quick glance it will be marvelous.'' i said. ''i.... just pulled a twilight didn't i?'' i asked Frank. ''Yep'' he said.

''now, if you'll come with me so i can get your measurements, we can get started'' Rarity said. '' I'll come back a little later you guys, i have some errands to run'' Fluttershy said. ''ok, see you when you get back'' I said.

Time Skip:1 hour

Jamir's POV ''Once again, i want to thank you for what you've done for me, I'll find someway to pay you back''. i said ''think nothing of it darling, it is what i do after all.'' she said. well good thing i got some clothes or i'd be hosed. i don't know how but she managed to fix the clothes i already had on, and made a baker's dozen of clothes for in record time. some shirts collared with my initials, some had designs of rarity's cutie mark along the sleeves, collar and front of the shirt, some dark colored clothes, ''favorite'', and the rest were simple. as for the pants more or less the same. but it was when outfitted my hat which made me happy, she had added  baby blue sapphires in the shape of her cutie mark where the 'D' used to be.

''Wow, I love these clothes, thank you again rarity, you're too kind'' i said. ''well it was a bit of a challenge to get your proportions right, but i've outdone myself should i say'' she stated proudly. at that point, Fluttershy had came back with four other ponies and dragon whom i knew instantly, but being who i am just kept my mouth shut and let them introduce themselves. '' hello''? i said hesitantly since they had these looks of intense contemplation, or at least twilight did. ''uh Fluttershy, Rarity, i think i broke your friends.'' i thought. it then i finally a break in the silence when Twilight asked me the one question i figured Fluttershy would ask me: ''Excuse  me, but what are you?'' Twilight asked with a curious nature.

''I am a human, more specifically , homo sapien a race of the only extant members of the hominin clade, which is a branch of great apes characterized by our erect posture, dexterity, and bipedal locomotion.'' i called off from the top of my head. and take a wild guess as to what she did, yep wrote it down.

''and you also don't mind me asking, where you from?'' she asked. ''I am from the planet earth, in the milky way galaxy.'' i said.

'' and what does your diet consist of?'' she asked with all seriousness.

oh great, still not a day in and we've hit the prime question of the hour. well i suppose rather they find out now then later.

''Well, please don't think any different, but i'm an omnivore and i do eat meat'' i said waiting for their  response.

Time Skip:10 minutes later:

Jamir Pov:

Turns out after explaining my need for meat and the human body as best i could to them, they seemed to calm down after they made pinkie promise i wouldn't eat ponies and should i want meat, to do it as quick and painless as possible. ''so now that has been taken care of, mind telling me who the rest of you are?'' i asked once again already knowing, but playing the part.

''Name's Rainbow Dash, fastest Pegasus  in all of equestria who pulled off the legendary sonic rainboom and  a future wonderbolt!'' she bragged.

''nice to meet you rainbow''. i said after getting a hoof bump.

''ah'm Applejack, ah work down at sweet apple acres, best place in equestria to get apples, and trust me when ah say y'all need to have a taste to really experience it.'' she said with the utmost confidence. ''well, i'll be sure to try it sometime.'' i said actually wanting something to eat.

''And i'm spike! Twillight's faithful assistant!'' he stated while folding his arms while smirking.

''nice to meet you, spike'' i said. ''you guys already know who i am, but i have yet to introduce you to my other friend, Frank'' i said.

''where the hay is he?'' Applejack asked looking around. ''yea!'' everyone else said. I tell them to follow me in the mirror, because for some reason other people can only see him when they look in a mirror with me, no clue why it happens, just does.

''HaHaHa!'' Rainbow laughed out loud. ''look at him, he's so weird looking! Ha!'' she laughed once again. ''wait, Frank what the hell are you doing man?'' i asked looking kind of pissed he would be doing this, i though we had talk about this. ''What, can you blame me?, you would have done the same thing you know!'' he said. '' Dancing like an idiot is something you can, but i'd rather try and not look like big bird off of dame sesame street.'' i deadpanned.  ugh, i can't believe he would still do this when he knows he sucks at dancing, whatever we can talk his horrible moves later on. ''Anyway girls...and spike, this is Frank Graffias,my partner,best friend, and a major pain sometimes'' i joked. Frank

''hello''Twilight said

''howdy, partner'' Applejack said

''what's up?'' Rainbow got out while trying not to giggle.

''HIYA! Pinkie said.

''Greetings'' Rarity said

''Hi'' Fluttershy said.

''Nice to meet all of you'' Frank said back.

''well that went well'' i beamed to Frank. ''indeed'' he said. so far a lot has happened so far, but something tells me I've yet to even the touch the surface, let alone scratch it.  '' I don't mean to rude you guys, but i have eaten noting since i got  here, so you think we could go get some food?'' i asked with a pleading look. the girls and spike all laughed a little, but pretty soon Twilight decided that she would treat us to some food so they could get to know more about me ''hey anything if it means food in my gullet.'' I laughed. Pretty soon we left the boutique and headed into town to sate my hunger and learn more about girls and spike.

Party Time

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.

Construction of the J.A.D.E Arsenal

Sweet Apple Acres: 2:25 pm

Frank's POV:

As i kept thinking about what i had thought about back in the hedge maze, I failed to see what had just happened, but I know it would have been funny as hell if I saw it. There Jamir was on the ground panting holding his chest as if he had run from a wolf. I went over phased back in his body and asked: ''What in the sam hill happened to you while I was gone?'' I asked, somewhat amused at how this was playing out. ''Well I decided to give applebucking a try. ''And?'' I pressed with a little smile on my face. ''Turns out i'm pretty good at it, takes some getting used to but it's ok work'' he said after regaining his breath. ''Yea, and somehow that does not explain why you're down on the ground like a limp noodle.'' i said with a little chuckle. ''I was getting to that'' he said. so I had just done my last tree when... FLASHBACK: right after Frank  left Jamir's POV: Damn. there were a whole bunch of apple trees as far as I could see. At that point, I just had to ask: '' so you and your brother Big Macintosh applebuck all of these trees?'' I said just a little unconvinced. ''Sure do, sugarcube, it is hard work and all but somepony's got to do it.'' Applejack said. ''Huh'' I said. hard work, indeed, so you're gonna teach me to do it too?'' i asked. '' Yep, come on, let's get started.'' she said.  ''ok'' i said rolling up my sleeves. ''Well since ya'll don't have any hooves, i figure i can tell you how to do it and you could make it work in your way.'' she said. she lined herself in front of the tree, leaned foward, and kicked. HARD. The tree shook and out fell all the apples. ''Geez applejack, would not want to make you mad'' i said with a fake chuckle. ''Well, why don't you give a try now?'' she suggested. I took in a deep breath and took the tree to her left. I sized it up and thought for a minute: ''If she used her two back hooves for power, I suppose i could go for a jumping roundhouse kick to the tree's soft spot'' i thought. which I pegged for the space underneath the branches as kicking the tree's base would do nothing but give me pain. So went on a limb and hoped that i was right by some degree. I stood my ground a good foot away and took one last before i broke off in a sprint, when i got within arm's length, I did a little hop, jump, and twisted in one fluid motion while using my arms for momentum I clocked the tree and landed on my feet, when I looked up, saw no apples.''nice'' i thought.

''Yee Haw!'' Applejack shouted. ''nice one there partner, y'all seem to have the hang of this, so let's get to it!''

Jamir's Pov:

'' Hey Applejack, gonna take a break mind if I use your bathroom really quick?'' I asked, having the need to pee. ''sure thing sugarcube, you go upstairs and it's the second door on the left.

''Thanks'' I said. well that was fun I mused to myself, took a little getting used to but nonetheless  not as bad as i would peg it to be. Right now I need to find the bathroom so I can-there it is! I rushed inside and let loose the stream. After I finished that I continued downstairs but on my way down I tripped on a step and fell down, being and also not to faceplant with the floor I leaned fowards to have my hands do the work. pretty simple to do I just vaulted off my hands in the hope I would land on my feet and I did for about 3 seconds until I fell. again but this time I felt something tough, like rubber then after i felt myself get flung out the barn and landed on my back.

''ok, but you're still not telling me how you got flung out and landed here.'' Frank deadpanned. ''I know but I'm going to tell you now.'': I accidentally touched Big Mac's flank and got flung across the dirt.

''You know, I want to laugh so bad, but I won't you did nothing so that merits no laughter.'' he said, understanding. ''he said sorry.'' i added.

''So where did the rest of the girls go''? Frank questioned.

''Pinkie said that she needed them to help her with something, what that is, she has yet to tell me, but i can take a guess.'' I said getting up and dusting myself off.

''A party?'' Frank pegged?

''A Party.'' My reply came.

''So what time is it supposed to start?'' Frank inquired.

''Around 10-11 why?'' I peered.

''Because.. we need to talk about something serious.'' Frank said being dead serious. He's only ever used this tone when something has pissed off, oh great what could it be this time? ''What is it?'' I asked. ''That disturbance we felt before, well i tracked it and found it was Discord.'' Frank said. ''Wait, how he's stone what could he have done?'' I asked. ''I don't really know about that, but what I do is followed that unusual vibe and when I got in front of the statue, it was if that feeling was concentrated only on him.'' Frank summarized.

''So Discord, huh? well let's go over there and give him a piece of our minds.'' I said cracking my knuckles for emphasis.

''No, that won't work, the only way we get even one shot would be to let things take the course and wait until the girls and elements get to discord first, then we can strike.'' Frank calculated.

''Right" I said. but how do we take him on when the time comes?'' I ask the obvious question.

''Simple.'' he said. ''We need weapons.'' he said. now was talking my language and i just happened to have blueprints for a few weapons on my phone,see it does help to be semi prepared.

''Now do you see why i kept those blueprints?'' I  asked

''Yes, now we to find somepony in town who can help forge our weapons, but first let's see what blueprints you have.'' Frank said.

Good, now we are getting somewhere, if only i had chosen i few more weapons, but I'm confident that i can deal more than enough damage with these.

( comprises of a double bladed great sword which has two framed handling grips where they extend towards the tip of the blade which form a gun cylinder, the ends can also connect to make a bladed gun staff),(a pair of pistol/shotgun bladed tonfas which also connect at opposing ends and form one very long tonfa which uses the back tonfa's recoil to drive it forward, creating a makeshift ram.) ( shuriken lanchers like the one off of Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando.) (also, more or less take Ruby's scythe from RWBY, but give it 2nd blade and taser launcher underneath the gun barrel.) (and lastly, a bladed bow that collapses and form two knives.)

''very nice selection, though you should have gotten the blueprint for a grenade launcher, but this can work.'' Frank said, impressed.

''Well let's go looking for somepony to who can forge and make the  J.A.A.D.E. H.O.L.O  Arsenal.'' I said.''

''J.A.A.D.E. H.O.L.O.?  what does that stand for?'' Frank asked.  '' The Justification,Arsenal and Absolute, Decimation, Excubant, Human, Operated, LuniSolar, Operations arsenal.'' I said wondering how the hell I could figure out a decent word for every letter.

well now that has been taken care of, we can start to look for anypony here who could provide me with the  means to craft my weapons,so we set off in the hope we could find a someone.

Ponyville town hall:

9:50 pm

Jamir's pov:

After all the searching around and asking random ponies what they thought about someone who was a weapon smith, we found him. The guy's name is

Iron Hammer, if you guessed it, that's his cutie mark. Anyway he agreed to create my weapons and some armor free of charge, but as he said: ''I don't want your money, these seem like unique weapons I get to make, I only ask that  you owe me big time, no matter what, no matter where deal?'' Iron Hammer asked. and of course my response went like this: ''You got yourself a deal there, so when do we start?'' i asked very enthusiastic. well not some much as an hour ago i got all my weapons and armor, except the scythe, due it's compact form, he needed a little longer to work on it, but i'll be fine without for the time being, besides it's friday and i can get it on monday, so three days shouldn't be too hard to bear. I gotta say i look pretty cool right now, right now i'm wearing the clothes that rarity made for me, along with:(the assassin's creed, but with no hood, the lower part is removed, making look as if i'm wearing short shirt reachs up to the middle of my back, kinda like a small cape. i have a special set of chameleon  dragonscale armor that is blended with my clothes, which covers all around my body, but instead of a hood, I have a fanged dragon mask with a kickass visor that I don't know how he got to fit in here. also the whole thing? fire and magic resistant, turns out he used the properties of unicorn magical prevention barriers and weaved it into my clothing so it would take a very pissed Twilight to be do something that actually might hurt. but the best part is all of the armor is compact, so with the press of a certain scale, it all retreats back into one black colored scale.

''So where did pinkie say where she was having the party?''Frank asked.

''Over at the library.'' I said ''come on, we should get on before we miss anything.'' I said. ''Alright, let's get going'' he said.

So as we were walking to library, I finally had to think about all that happened so quickly. I went from hating the world for always screwing me over, but  somehow it got turned around I end up here, not that I'm complaining, it's so sudden, but nonetheless, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else besides here.

while I've been here only a few hours, they have been the best so far, but something tells me that this is only the start of something I hope I can be ready to face.

So here we are in front of the library and the lights are off? I thought Pinkie was going have a party for me, well I guess i could see if Twilight knows what's up with this. In hindsight I SHOULD have seen this coming, but I it appears that I would not have wanted a jump scare, courtesy of Pinkie Pie.

''SURPRISE!'' everypony yelled.

To be honest, I've never had a surprise party, but it was nice to know that everypony took the time to welcome me to ponyville after all that happened, I think I deserve a little party to relax. The music was blaring, ponies were dancing, and it has a good atmosphere. but I was looking for the girls and spike when...

''Jamir! over here!'' Pinkie yelled over the music. I went over to them and took a seat and said: ''Pinkie, this party is crazy, thanks for this.'' I spoke with a small smile.

''Anything for a friend, besides when Pinkie Pie hosts a party, SHE hosts a party!'' Pinkie said bouncing up and down.

''So where ya been while we was setting up the party?'' Applejack asked

''I went around town to explore, I talked to some ponies, and made a deal with someone.'' I said.

''With who?'' Rainbow asked.

''That's a surprise, you'll just have to wait to find out, but something tells me you girls and spike may like it.'' I said with a small smirk on my face.

Afterwards, I hit the dance floor and danced with all the girls, ate some good cake, and met some more ponies and played a few games and had a lot of fun. it was a nice party, but there was one issue i forgot to look into: sleeping arrangements. ''Girls, I don't know if i mentioned this, but where am i going to stay?'' I asked.

''Twilight decided that you would each spend a week at all of our houses, then you could decide where you would want to stay.''Rainbow said.

''seems fair enough.'' I said. at least i'll have a variety of  choices and I get spend time with all of the girls, a win-win. ''So who's house do I stay at first?'' I asked. ''Mine!'' Twilight said happily. ''With you staying here first, I could gets load of information and data from you, oh!  I know the princesses would love hear about this!'' she said.

''Princesses?'' I asked, surprised she failed to mention it early on, even though I already knew about it. Here comes the lecture... ''Princess Celestia and Princess Luna... and there it is. are the rulers of the land.''she said. ''Princess Celestia raises and lowers the sun, while Princess Luna raises and lowers the moon, when they're not doing that, they have the day and night court.'' she stated once again. ''the separate courts handles issues with the various ponies and their problems such as debt, foreclosure, complaints, or more times than most official royal business with the other kingdoms.'' she said.

Well thank you for that information, but I wonder how'll the princesses will think of me?  ''My guess is as good as yours.'' Frank said.

''you're right about that, but I highly doubt it will take a turn for the worst.'' I said.

''well, this was a fun party and all, but I'm kinda tired, so I think I'm gonna go on home and hit the sack.'' Rainbow said while pulling a cute little yawn.

Everypony else left too, leaving just me, Twilight, and spike. ''well that was fun and all, but I'd have to agree with Rainbow, so where am i sleeping?'' I said trying to hold a yawn back, to no avail.

''you can use the spare room, it's  upstairs on the far left.'' she said.

''Are you coming to bed?'' I asked.

''I will, but first I have to send a letter to the princess to let her about what happened today, so you can go on to bed.'' she said

''ok, good night Twilight, night spike.'' I called.

''Night.'' they called back to me.

I went upstairs to my room, and found it was pretty spacious with a few bookshelves and had a window that showed the magnificent view of canterlot in the distance.

''wow.'' I said. ''we're really here.'' I said in awe. ''Yes, not so much as a day ago you were asking to come here, and it appears some divine force brought us here for some reason, but what it could be I have yet to find out about. Frank said.

''Yea, well we can think about that tomorrow, sleep comes first.'' I said, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.
