I woke up with a splitting head ache. That zebra didn't help with my sleep at all with that incessant rhyming and questioning, combined with sleeping on the ground. That was my choice though. She did offer to let me sleep in her bed with her, but that brought up all kinds of morale blocks. Let's just say I wasn't in the best of moods when I woke up. Luckily I woke up before Zecora, so I snuck out of her house. Not before leaving a note thanking her for her generosity though. I was annoyed, but not without manners. I walked through the forest and decided it was time to call a certain demon. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the phone. I looked at the contacts. Only one, big surprise… I clicked on the contact and heard it ring.

Asmos answered with a simple "Hey".

"Asmos how's it going? Got one question, did you send me here on purpose?" I asked.

"Well yeah, you said a dimension that is mostly nice and I did exactly what you asked. Also I needed a big laugh." he responded.

"ASMOS you asshole you sent me to a world where the population is talking horses!"

"First off cool it. There are quite a few different creatures just like your home dimension, only without humans and more than a few mythical creatures. Second, they're ponies. Third, I warn you to not, under any circumstances, mention you got there via help from a demon or anyone. Just say you woke up there." he said sounding uncharacteristically serious.

"Wait; why not mention I got here via demon powers?"

"Because you mortal, you'll be cast out of the country faster than you can say oops." he said sounding impatient.

"Ah, thanks for the advice. By the way, what's the limit to my psychic powers?"

"Oh that's easy, any thought and practice is your limit." he said.

"Cool, thanks any ways. Even if you sent me to a place filled with talking ponies… I'm going to get off, I found a cave that I'm going to explore, bye." I said.

As I hung up the phone I walked into the cave. (since Asmos said the limit is my thoughts let's focus on a light for me to see). A purple light started to shine in front of my face.

"Sweeeet" I said looking further in the cave.

I walked for quite some time till I reached a very large open area and noticed something that looked like the night sky staring me in the face. I looked around the sky, it was bright red with stars all over it. It looked beautiful till I looked into a mouth that could fit a whole school bus inside.

"I'm so glad my bowels were empty before I came in here…" laughing a little at my joke.

The star bear thing didn't get the joke unfortunately as it roared in my face. I thought of how to calm it down and realized I'm psychic! I can talk to it with thought!

"Hey bear dude, can you hear me?" I thought.

The bear looked around as if it thought it heard something.

"Who speaks to me?" it asked.

"I do mighty one, the being standing in front of you. I am using my abilities to talk to you." I said hoping that the creature wouldn't mind.

It looked down at me and asked, "One that is so small, why do you enter my home?".

"Well, as you can see I didn't mean to encroach upon your home. I was just looking around and happened upon this cave. If you wish for me to leave then I will, but may I ask your name before I leave?" I said.

"My name is Star Blaze, and if you wish to stay for a while then you may" he said.

"Thank you Star Blaze. May I ask a few questions before I leave?" I asked hopefully.

"You may, as long as you tell me your name and answer a few questions of my own as well."

"The name's Rick, and ask anything you want and I'll answer it the best I can."

The questions he asked were pretty simple. What am I, where did I come from, and where did I gain all my power. My questions were pretty much the same. Who was he, some rules of here, and who the ruler was. The last question is what got me, he asked if we were friends.

I replied "Of course dude, just give a shout if you need something."

I decided it was time to leave. When I got out of the cave I found that it was only mid-day and decided I'd give the town another try. Luckily Star Blaze told me which way to go and I got out in about thirty minutes. I could have ran, but decided that I would enjoy the walk, which is why it took so long.

As soon as I spotted the town, I noticed one thing. Ponies running into homes left and right. By the time I got to the town, the streets were abandoned and I felt people watching me from the windows. I was slightly ticked at their rudeness and walked further into town till I reached a big building in the center which I assumed was the town hall. I walked to the door and knocked. A hoof quickly popped out with a sign that said closed and hung it on the door. Now that's just straight up rude. I decided that I would wait them out by going to the nearby fountain and meditating till someone walked out of their home.

I sat there for maybe ten minutes before I heard a voice.

"what are you doing?" Asked the voice.

I opened my eyes to see a filly with a purple mane and orange fur looking at me like I had three heads.

"Well little one, I am doing an exercise that calms the mind and clears your head."

"So what are you" she asked.

"I say, didn't anyone tell you that it's rude to ask a question before introducing yourself first."

She looked extremely sad. Shit I just fucked up terribly.

"I'm sorry mister I'm Scootaloo, and I lost my parents before they taught me manners…" she said looking even sadder.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry Scootaloo. I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I'm Rick, your newest friend that happens to be a human. Now you get a favor from me for being my first pony friend." I said smiling lightly as I thought and to relieve some guilt I know have.

Scootaloo brightened up at this and yelled "YAY!" while jumping into air.

"Alright since you owe me I'll use it to have you spend the whole day with me!"

I smiled at how such a simple request could make her so happy "So Scootaloo, what shall we do first." I said while picking her up.

"You can start by heading to my clubhouse and meeting my other…"

"Hey you freak! Put her down or prepare to taste the wrath of the coolest pony in Ponyville!"

I turned around to see a blue furred and rainbow maned Pegasus staring at me with the intent to kill. I put Scootaloo on the ground and stared at the Pegasus with indifference on my face.

"Heh at least you have some brains now leave before I get physical" she said.

This ticked me off. Her arrogance knows no bounds. Here I am, a creature she has never seen before, and she threatens me without even the slightest bit of kindness after I already obeyed her first command. I am not to be made a fool of by a rainbow tomboy.

"No" I said completely calm.

"Alright then it's your choice." she said as she charged at me.

I just shook my head and thought about her floating in the air. A black purple aura surrounded her body and she floated right into the air. I levitated her close to me.

"Your first mistake was threatening me. Your second mistake was being mean after I had done nothing to Scootaloo, even after I obeyed your first request. Your third mistake was that if you want to fight, find someone else, because I don't hit girls, no matter what species."

The whole time I was talking she didn't even bother to try struggling out of my grip. It was as if she was buying time for something… Just as I thought this, a lasso went above my head and wrapped around me. This distracted me long enough for my concentration to falter and release the rainbow haired Pegasus. That's when I turned to face my new attacker to see a giant red pony with an orange mane and a littler orange pony with a blond mane both holding a rope.

"Ya'll better give up, yer outnumbered" said the orange one.

I had had enough of this time to show a better example of my strength to get them to back off. I decided a psychic shock wave would be best to do this.

"Scootaloo I want you to get away from here now. I don't want you to get even a little bit hurt, understand?" I said completely serious.

Scootaloo just nodded her head and ran off into a nearby building. Since I didn't want anyone hurt I made the shock wave only strong enough to knock them on their butts. Before I could use it, I heard a giant boom and looked back to see a rainbow fly right towards me. Too bad for her I put my force field up just in time for her to hit the field instead of me. The field also severed the rope from its holder so I sliced the rope using a fine psychic line. I looked to the orange pony.

Just as I released the force field, a mixture of purple and light blue energy slammed into my chest, completely singeing my shirt. I gripped my chest as I pulled the remainder of my shirt off and saw my skin was a bit burnt. I looked to where the beam was fired to see two unicorns. I finally lost my composure after seeing something I only dreamed about. Unicorns are my second favorite mythological creature, right behind dragons.

"WAIT! Before this goes any farther, please just hear me out. The absolute last thing I want to do is hurt my second favorite creature, even if it is by accident or self- defense" I said.

They all settled a little to hear me out.

"O.K. now why are you two attacking me I said pointing to the two unicorns.

The purple one spoke "We were scared you would hurt our friends…" looking a little apologetic as she said it I read her mind and found she didn't want to fight and had decided to use a knockout spell together with Rarity, which I assumed was the other unicorn, to study me after I woke up. I also saw that she was very surprised to see me still standing.

"I assume that's all of your excuses right" I said as they all nodded.

This made me slightly ticked because the rainbow one started all of this so I decided she was at fault here.

"So what's your actual excuse" I said, pointing to the rainbow one.

"What? Why ask that if I answered with everyone else already" she said.

"Well the reason explains why those four where doing. It fits them, but it doesn't work for you because I wasn't attacking anyone, nor did I show any signs of attacking Scootaloo." I said staring at her with all my anger.

"Well I was just… um well I just.." she blushed intensely and flew of so fast she broke the sound barrier again.

"I guess I won't get any answers today…" I started walking to the house Scootaloo went into before this happened. I was halted by a purple aura surrounding me and looked over to see the purple unicorn's horn glowing.

"Now what do you want. I have to fulfill my promise to Scootaloo, and if you keep me from doing that you'll see why you don't piss off a human" I said very annoyed.

The aura stayed around me and seemed to intensify she also seemed to be straining to do something.

"Alright I give up. What do you want from me?" I asked.

No answer, just an increase in magic intenseness and her horn glowing even brighter.

"O.K. Miss Rarity, can you enlighten me on what she is trying to do?" the white unicorn jumped at the sound of her name, but quickly composed herself.

"I believe she is trying to levitate you, but I haven't seen her expel this much magic since she lifted the ursa minor" she said.

"I have seen an ursa major, even talked to it, but I don't know how big an ursa minor is."

Everpony there had their mouths dropped.

"What, it's not that impressive is it?" I asked trying to do an innocent smile the best I could.

The purple unicorn spoke "That's a feat only Star Swirl The Bearded has accomplished."

"OK. One, can you give me your name for next time we meet? And two, I'm going to play with Scootaloo now, so good luck with settling everything" I said with a wave.

With that I knocked on the door as soon as I saw Scootaloo. I grabbed her and ran the other way. I stopped when I reached some hundred apple trees.

"Scoots where are we" I asked.

"Sweet Apple Acres home of Applejack, Applebloom, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith" she said proudly.

"OK just point me to the direction of your clubhouse and you can introduce me to your friends" I said.

As she pointed the way. I couldn't help but think why the rainbow one ran, and did she blush? I laughed at this. Like a pony could like a human! That would be an absolute riot!

Author's Note

Sorry if this chapter is a bit shorter, and frankly it probably needs a bit of slowing down I noticed.
