Completely Different but Still the Same

The six agreed to take turns trying to befriend the new pony that Twilight had brought to Equestria. First off Applejack. The farmer pony caught him reading a strange book with a title she could not comprehend. Either way she walks up to him. "Howdy partner." she says greeting him

"Can I help you with something?" Solar Flare asks

"I haven't seen you round these parts before so I was wondering where ya came from." she answers

"A place very far away." Solar answers

"So then ya'll are here all alone?" Applejack asks

"Yeah, it's what I am used to." Solar sighs

"Well why don't you try making friends?" Applejack asks

"I am fine thank you." Solar says

"You'll want some in  the future." Applejack smiles "Come on give it a shot!"

"I am not the kind to be with others." Solar says "I don't deserve to be with others."

"Now that's just nonsense!" Applejack says "Everypony can have friends!"

"I don't think you would understand." Solar answers

"Then how could I understand if ya' don't tell me?" Applejack asks and the unicorn thinks before sighing and a small smile appears on his face

"You got me there..." he chuckles "Even I cannot argue that. Alright I'll tell you what happened but not here, not now. I would like to get settled first. Anyplace we can meet say around 8:00?"

"How bout' the Palace of Friendship?" Applejack asks

"The place I met Twilight?" Solar asks and Applejack nods "You're helping her out aren't you..."

"How'd ya know?" Applejack asks

"It was obvious from the start. your persistence is much greater then anypony I have ever met... my name is Solar Flare by the way." He smiles

"Howdy partner, I'm Applejack!" the country pony says with a smiles "I'll see ya there tonight then right?"

"Yes." Solar says "Now if you'll excuse me..."

"Go right ahead." Applejack says as the two part way. Solar to find a place to live and Applejack to The Palace of Friendship. Applejack waks in and enter the Map Room where the map like table still stood. Twilight was in her chair reading, Fluttershy was talking with Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were playing a board game and Spike was taking a stack of books out of the room as she passed by.

"Oh hay Applejack how did it go?" he asks

"good." she answers as she passed him. Twilight taking notice looks up from her book and looks at Applejack.

"Well?" Twilight asks and the others look to her

"Solar said he'll be here at 8:00." Applejack says

"But that's only three hours from now!" Twilight panics "We need to make sure this place look good for him! We don't want to make him feel unwelcome!"

"Calm down Twilight everything will be fine!" Rainbow Dash says "I could clean this place in 10 seconds flat!"

"Really?" Twilight asks challenging her friend

"Sure!" Rainbow says shrugging "why don't believe me?"

"Prove it." Twilight says

"Fine." Rainbow Dash says

"Spike?!" Twilight calls and the young dragon runs in

"Yes Twilight what can I do for you?" he asks

"Where's your stopwatch?" she asks

"Here." he says pulling it out "Want me to do something?"

"Start it on my mark." Twilight answers and Rainbow Dash crouches ready to fly. "GO!" she shouts and Rainbow Dash flies off at blurring speeds cleaning as fast as she could soon a few seconds later she stops.

"Done!" she calls and Spike stops the timer. "Well?" the Pegasus asks looking at him.

"Ten seconds flat." Spike says "That was amazing Rainbow Dash I wish I could clean this place that fast."

"It was a piece of cake!" Rainbow Dash smiles

Meanwhile Solar was looking around and notices there was nothing available all the homes were taken and after what had happened he wasn't in any shape to go look for other settlements to live in. As much as he hated to he decided to walk to The Palace of Friendship and ask Twilight for help. he arrived luckily just before 8:00 and knocks. Soon Spike answers the door and invites him in. Solar follows Spike to the Map Room where the others sat.

"Ya made it!" Applejack smiles "Any luck finding a place to stay?"

"No there isn't anything available right now..." Solar sighs

"You told me you were going to tell us about yourself." Applejack says

"Yeah, I owe you guys that much." Solar smiles softly and walks up closer before he begins his story. "I come from another version of this world as I recently discovered on my own. However in my world something happened a war when we found a strange black creature that resembled a pony. Anyway turns out according to our Princess Celestia which is strange that the Princess' name is also Celestia in this world I might add. Anyways she said it was all predicted and that two suns would blot out the darkness. My guess was she thought I was this second sun. I mean a vague prophecy and a name like mine I couldn't blame her. So I tried to stop Queen Chrysalis the one who brough devastation and war to the land. I was not powerful enough and she won. It was my fault Equestria was destroyed..." he explains

"Chrysalis?" Twilight asks shocked

"You know her?" Solar asks surprised at her reaction

"Yeah, he caused us trouble before but Princess Celestia banished her and the changlings to another realm."  Twilight says "So that must have been your realm!"

"It's not your fault." Solar says "So you see I have been living with this guilt for years... I don't deserve the fellowship of other ponies after what I did to them!"

"Well all that is different here darling." Rarity says

"totally we are all cool here!" Rainbow Dash says floating in the air in a relaxed position

"Why not use this as a second chance Solar Flare?" Applejack asks and he looks at her

"You...might be right." he sighs "I will try...but do you guys know where I could stay?"

"You can stay at my place..." Fluttershy says softly just loud enough for the others to hear her.

"A-are you sure?" Solar asks and the kind Pegasus nods

"Of course... it's kind of lonely sometimes when there is no other pony to talk to..." Fluttershy answers

"Thank you." Solar before a light bulb goes off in his head "Oh I forgot to introduce myself how rude of me!" he says shaking his head "My name is Solar Flare and I already know Twilight, Spike and Applejack so... how about you four?"

"Greetings my name is Rarity." Rarity smiles with a hair flip and a polite dip of the head

"I'm Rainbow Dash, nopony can fly faster then me." Rainbow Dash boasts

"I...I'm Fluttershy..." Fluttershy says softly

"And I am Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie squeels jumping up and down "I think we can be the best of friends. Do you like cake? I love cake! How about muffins? I love them too but I think derp-" Pinkie was then muffled by  Twilight

"Sorry about that she is a little...crazy at time." Twilight sighs "Well anyway 'Welcome to Ponyville' Solar Flare."

"Thank you." he answers
