A New Life

The next morning was one of beauty, the sun shining brightly, birds chirping, flying in the sky. And ponies all over Ponyville roaming around the town and outside of Ponyville itself. Most of them going to a few lakes, parks or beaches.

While Xavier himself was slowly waking up in the guest bed, only to find a few contraptions placed over his face and chest. Which startled him so much, that he ends up falling out of the bed quite literally with a hard thud. Groaning a little in pain and a mix of annoyance he yanks the contraptions off his body, what happened next was him shouting at the top of his lungs.

"TWILIGHT!"

In a matter of seconds Twilight barges through the door with some monitor readings on a long list of paper. Tripping over them she stumbles into the room, then quite quickly gets up so not to embarrass herself. Clearing her throat, kicking the papers behind her out of the door, she grinned  awkwardly pretending not to have taken readings of him while he was sleeping.

The lavender mare cleared her throat, speaking up in a calm tone, while adding some curiosity too it.

"Whats up Xavier?" she asked.

Xavier got up and shoved the wires against her face that were originally attatched to his body, glaring down at the lavender mare. Twilight had figured out that he figured out that she was running tests on him while he was sleeping. Then again considering Twilight's personality about how much she enjoys reading books and running experiments.

The lavender mare focuses on her horn and levitates the wires away from her face. Giving a light sigh as her left fore-hoof comes up and rubs the back of her head in embarrassment, sighing as she opens her mouth to speak. Yet is interrupted by Xavier who is just stuttering on his words at first, yet he finds himself stuttering and speaks in a normal tone towards her.

"What's the big idea of running experiments on my Twilight Sparkle, no wait don't answer that, I don't want too know and I don't care too know. But don't you ever dare run another experiment on me while I am sleeping."

Twilight lowered her head, now she felt bed as Xavier stormed past her. Yet she could sense a rudeness in his voice, though she ignores his rude nature for now. And instead follows after him, wanting to apologize for running experiments on him without his consent. Yet as she see's him walking away faster. She stops her pursuit, figuring he needs time to be left alone before having a conversation with her.

As she turns to leave in the opposite direction, Rainbow Dash lands right next to her, causing Twilight to yelp. Having seen Xavier storming off, but not having heard the conversation.

Rainbow Dash spoke up towards Twilight confused, plus she herself wanted a little scoop in on what was going on.

"What's that guy's problem?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Twilight shook her head, stomping her hoof down and staring at Rainbow Dash right in her eyes. She hated being startled by Rainbow Dash whenever it happened, in-fact she always hated being startled by anypony.

"Rainbow Dash! How many times do I have to tell you to stop startling me like that!? Anyways, Xavier is a little angry at me for running some experiments on him while he was sleeping. Have to say getting his shirt lifted up so I could placed the wires on his chest, and belly was the difficult part. Not wanting to wake up his sleep and all that." Twilight replied.

"Why were you wanting to run tests on him on the first place? He seems like a pretty chill guy to me, well, chill guy when he's not being a jerk"

Rainbow Dash replied, smirking as she watched Xavier walking down the streets of Ponyville. Her eyes even starting to wander a little downwards. Yet Twilight speaks up as Rainbow Dash's gaze started to move downwards.

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said loudly which of course startled the blue pegasi, something that's not easy to do.

"What?! I wasn't looking over him from a distance or anything! I mean, he's not good looking for a....thing!" she exclaimed quickly.

Rainbow Dash stopped herself from saying anything else though with a hoof when she noticed Twilight giving her an odd look. Glaring at Twilight with a serious expression as the lavender mare is starting to slowly giggle and laugh. The cyan pegasi lifting herself up and pressing her face against Twilight's.

Saying in the most serious tone she could at the moment without trying too blush. Yet that wasn't very successful, if anything her tone made her sound embarrassed.

"Not a word of this to anypony" Rainbow Dash demanded.

Twilight slowly stopped her laughing, giving Rainbow Dash a light smile, along with rolling her eyes in an amused fashion. She rarely sees Rainbow Dash be embarrassed, but this was the first time she's seen Rainbow Dash be embarrassed about a male. Since she's normally the tough one of the group, well along with Applejack.

"Dont worry Rainbow Dash I'm not gonna say anything, you're gonna have to do that yourself. Though I don't really blame you, for well, whatever he is. He is kind of good looking, if we're just complimenting people."

Rainbow Dash muttered a little, though they drop the subject when Spike comes trotting out in some sort of swim trousers. Twilight and Rainbow Dash looking to eachother in confusion before coming up to Spike, making the small purple dragon look at them curiously.

"Oh hey ladies, whats up?" Spike asked.

"Oh nothing much Spike, did you forget what today was?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Um, it's sunday right?" he asks, though stops in his words when he realizes what this type of Sunday was, making him groan. "Alright fine, i'll get our things packed."

Xavier on the other hand was still walking through the streets, yet his walk is interrupted when Pinkie Pie comes up and start's to pester him again, asking him how his day is going. If he enjoyed the party and the list goes on. Eventually Xavier had enough of Pinkie's rambling and grabs her muzzle and shuts it with one hand.

His free hand coming up and rubbing his forehead very slowly as he took some time to calm himself down. When he was done with that, he looks to Pinkie Pie with the friendliest. Or tries to give her the friendliest grin he's ever done which just turns into another awkward, creepy grin.

"Pinkie Pie I really, really appreciate the fact you've taken interest in how my first couple days have been going. But can you do me a little favor and I don't know, leave me be for like...forever?" he asked, letting go of her muzzle.

Pinkie Pie just gave him a smile, not even noticing how rude he's being, looking towards Twilight's castle, then back to Xavier, about a good several times. Which is starting to get Xavier curious.

The human male paused though when she kept looking back and forth and groans, knowing she's going to say something. Preparing for another ramble fest he shook his head, another sigh escaping him. Looking down towards Pinkie Pie one last time, he takes a deep breath. But is getting prepared to shout to get his point across.

"You're going to say something Pinkie Pie so just come out and say it."

Pinkie Pie took a deep breath, preparing another ramble fest, and although it was a mix of rambling it was also a question towards him when she finally spoke.

"Twilight and the rest of us have been planning a real, real, REAL long field trip to go explore as much of Equestria as possible to take some time off. Especially after all a bunch of really, really bad baddies haven't shown up for a long time! Of course' I volunteered to go to make the field trip as fun as possible, While Rainbow Dash volunteered to make it as cool as possible but then Twilight was like nah. And I was like Why not? And she was all like, this might be boring for the rest of us. Then Rainbow Dash was all like she wanted to come anyways to do something different for a change! And then Applejack was all like surprised and everything that Rainbow Dash wanted to do something different" then she takes a deep gasp.

Xavier sighs a bit knowing this could take a while so he sits down on the pavement, and listens to Pinkie Pie. When it was nearing the two hour mark, Pinkie pie still hasn't finished her rambling. Which is making his eyes starting to twitch, then he started to face-palm himself over and over again.

He just HAD to open his big mouth and let Pinkie Pie talk, sure from what he knew is Pinkie Pies rambling can go on for a longtime, even though that's rare it goes for this long. But now he was witnessing it first hand, or well, witnessing it first ear.

About to snap and shout to tell Pinkie Pie to shut up. What she says next gets him to prevent him from saying anything.

"Not to mention Twilight wanted to look at some magical mysterious ruins that are hidden somewhere in Equestria that princess Luna and princess Celestia discovered from some studying about other dimensions other than that one world she went too. Whoa boy that was a doozy! And she was wondering if you wanted to come along! But then-"

She was interrupted by Xavier's hand pressing against her mouth, yet Pinkie Pie continues to talk even though her voice is completely muffled. So many thoughts were running through Xavier's head, this was a chance for him to get home and get away from these ponies. Return to his normal life on the farm. Where everything was quiet and peaceful.

Although he wished there were other ways to get away from these ponies, this is the only option he see's that could get him home. Either that or send him to another dimension that was hopefully less annoying than this one.

Releasing his hand from Pinkie Pie's mouth he grins.

"Alright sure I am game with going with you six ponies, anything to get away from yo-" he stops in the middle of his sentence then quickly turns it around. "Get away from your lovely town to explore the other wonders from Equestria!" he grins.

Pinkie Pie lets out a cheer, shooting up into the air and releasing some confetti out of nowhere, then she dashes off again to tell Twilight that he is coming along.

And sure enough later that afternoon after the girls and Xavier get packed properly, or well the girls do. Xavier had nothing to pack because he came here with nothing than the clothes on his back.

Once Twilight made sure everyone was ready they begin to walk up the hill, carrying supplies and emergency supplies in some satchels strapped to both their sides. Each pony carrying Two satchels with them just in-case if they need back-up supplies. For whatever reasons they may come across, whether they lose one bag, one of them gets injured. Whether they need to pass an obstacle, they had everything they needed to make the journey to the location on the map Twilight held in her bags, to the journey back home.

Xavier was the one at the very back of group, making sure Fluttershy follows along.

The bushes next to Xavier the further they got started to seem to follow them, he stops dead in his tracks and looks towards the bush when it stops moving. He had a feeling something was following them, so he walks over towards the bush, only to pull out three fillies and one dragon following the seven of them.

Xavier was wondering just how he was holding the four of them in both his hands, yet he ignores how he's able to do it, calling out towards the group that is way ahead of him.

"Hey girls! I got some unwanted fillies and...a dragon following us..." he stops in the middle of his words again, spotting the dragon he's holding when he thought it was another filly.

Screaming loudly he rushes over the hill after dropping the four of them on their flanks, catching Rainbow Dash by surprise. Then face-hoofing herself. The one human she seems to start developing a crush towards. Is scared, of a dragon? A small dragon no less, but still a dragon. Suddenly Xavier started to seem less attractive to her.

Applejack looked to the three fillies who are carrying satchels themselves, smaller satchels sure. But still satchels.

"What're ya'll doing out here?! Ya'll know it's dangerous!" exclaimed a protective Applejack towards the three fillies.

"Actually Applejack the road were taking is quite safe, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia made sure it was before getting a map made of the pathway" Twilight called back towards Applejack.

"C'mon Big Sister! Me, Scootaloo and Sweetiebell want to come along!" Applebloom exclaimed, while giving her sister big puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah! I mean there's nothing else to do back at Ponyville, and we've tried everything!" Sweetiebell added.

"Yeah, everything except getting a job" Scootaloo spoke up.

This got Applebloom and Sweetiebell to give a loud, long groan at the thought of getting a job when their fully grown. They hated doing chores after all before play. Well except maybe Applebloom, she did after all like helping out around the farm. As long as it meant getting her cutie mark eventually.

"When I'm grown up, the first thing I'm gonna do is make sure I never get a job!" Scootaloo added.

The girls all except Applejack giggled and laughed at this, they remembered that feeling all too well when they were the cutie mark crusaders age. Yet as full grown adults, their jobs were actually either exciting or they didn't mind their job anymore. But of course they were lucky to have landed some really good careers that complimented their own cutie marks.

"Ya'll know I don't want you getting hurt out here, what kind of big sister would I be if something happened to you Applebloom?" Applejack asked.

"I'm not a kid anymore sis! And ya know it! I can take care of myself! What do I have to do to prove it too you?" Sweetiebell exclaimed once more, except this time stomping her hoof down.

"Oh Come on Applejack, I promise the road is safe, and we have more than enough supplies if something bad happens to them. What's the worst that a field trip could do to them? I mean their the cutie mark crusaders! Their almost 20% cooler than most ponies" Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"Dont! Encourage them Rainbow Dash!" Applejack growled under her breath.

Xavier had just recovered from his scare of a dragon when he realized it was a small harmless dragon, sitting at the top of the hill he listened to the conversation Applejack, Rainbow Dash and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were having.

He was slowly starting to notice that these ponies have just as much emotion as a human like himself does. Now he was starting to feel guilty. Asking himself in his mind if he was really feeling sympathy towards a cartoon character, he shakes it off quickly and goes back to focusing on the conversation.

"I promise I'll be good sister! We'll listen to everything you and the others say! I promise!" Applebloom said in a sad tone. Again giving her sister the big ol' puppy dogs.

"Oh the thing with the eyes, and the sadness, and the begging, and the hoping! Ah! Alright! Ya'll win! But do everything we say alright?" Applejack said, not all too happy with the situation.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders run up and hug Applejack's legs shouting thank you over and over again. Applejack simply rolling her eyes at this but really she was actually smiling underneath that fake appearance she was putting up. The rest of the girls are simply just smiling at being glad there's more ponies joining them on the field trip.

It would make things a lot more interesting for their group.

"And what about you Spike? You coming along too?" asked Twilight with a smile.

"Yeah i'm coming along, its either that or getting stuck with Derpy Hooves" Spike replied.

Which back in Ponyville Derpy Hooves had gotten herself stuck in a mailbox, holding letters in her mouth, and all sorts of other ponies just staring in confusion at Derpy as she doesn't even bother trying to get out.

The Six mares laugh as do the fillies, in fact it even gets Xavier to chuckle, which throws Fluttershy off guard, and actually begins to make her eager too continue the field trip with her friends more than being hesitant. Since she was only hesitant because of Xavier's first time meeting with her, and she wasn't so sure of how Xavier would act.

The ponies then begin to start making their descent down the other side of the hill until they reach a trail of dirt and trees, it wasn't everfree forest, just one of the many forests outside of ponyville. And one by one they begin to go into the forest in a straight line, putting the fillies in the center of the group  so their protected from the front and the back.

And as Xavier is about to go into the forest next, Fluttershy goes first. But not before saying in a soft, yet friendly tone towards Xavier.

"I think you're really going to like this trip Xavier, maybe you'll even learn a few things along the way" she said softly.

Xavier paused one last time before giving a soft smirk to himself, following after Fluttershy once it was his turn to go next so he wasn't too close, nor too far from Fluttershy. He started feeling a little joy, in fact even that small smirk began to escalate into a true smile, something he's not done in months.

Celestia and Luna watched from a distance, looking to each-other with a smile, then nodding their heads to one another. Taking their leave down the other side of the hill. They began to leave the rest of this in the hoofs of the girls and the cutie mark crusaders.

What nopony realized is a mysterious danger was watching them from the trees, watching, waiting for the opportune moment to strike...
