WAY Out of place

We stood there together at the doorway holding onto each other. She nuzzeld my face lovingly and I brushed some of her ruffled mane from her face. "You still have this too." She said as she stroked her hoof along my muzzle. I realized I still had the short stubble that I'd been trimming and keeping for her. "And look." She said looking up to the top of my head. She reached up and her hoof gently touched my horn. I could feel her touch like it had been on another part of me, giving the same volt of ecstasy. I shuddered and clenched my teeth. She giggled and looked at me happily. "So you're one of those huh?"

"I guess so." I smiled back. "What about you?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Damn." I said sadly. "Oh well. It's not all that bad."

"Like you said, you're here and everything is going to be alright." She said nuzzling my cheek again.

A thought came back to my head. "I'm not the only one."

She looked up to me noticing my mixed expression. "Something the matter."

I sighed and looked back down to her. "Where's Kian?"

Her face went back to my shoulder and she thought for a moment. "Probably downstairs with Spike. They seem to like each other."

I sighed and smiled. "Well I guess that's off my mind. Have you talked to your friends yet?" I asked.

"No." She said holding on a little tighter. "I woke up in my bed and thought all of it might have been a dream. But then I saw your brother downstairs. He started to panic and I explained to him what he is. He still seems to be upset but he's warming up to it as far as I could tell. Spike started asking questions and I had to explain to him what happened. Your brother started asking questions: how did I get here,why am I a pony, where's James. All I could say was that I didn't know." She said her voice starting to strain. "I didn't know where you were or what happened of if I'd see you again."

"You can officially stop worrying." I said raising her chin with my hoof. "Because I'm here to stay."

She smiled and our muzzles pressed together in a kiss. "Only Spike knows what you and your brother are."

"My friends got pulled through too." I said with a bit of laughter. "A Mule and Pegasus."

She held a worried look. "Do you think we should tell anyone else. They might not take things as well as him."

An idea popped into my head. "How about we tell them this. You went on a short holiday to do some research in...Trotland?" I suggested. "Just say you were in a hurry and you forgot to write out a note or something, or that it got accidentally thrown away."

"You think that might work?" She asked uncertainly.

"I coould alweys use my sco-ish accen. Seying thengs like thes woould worrk." I said using it.
(I could always use my Scottish accent. Saying things like this would work.)

"If you think it would work then I guess we could try." She said faintly smiling.

"Grret, my throoat coould use the exercese." I said hugging tight and letting go. "Why don' we goo fend aowt?"
(Great, my throat could use the exercise.) (Why don't we go find out?)

She smiled softly and nodded. I followed her down the stairs and through the library part of the tree to the living room. On one of the couches sat a small purple and green dragon along with an older looking colt, an earth pony. He had a cream colored coat and a dark brown mane that hung slightly over his brow. His eyes were an almost sky blue. He sat upside down on the couch with a look of frustration.

"Being a pony wouldn't be all that bad." Spike said trying to comfort him.

"That's not what I'm worrying about." Kian exhaled. "This is just a little much for me to handle."

"Like meeting your brother?" Spike compared.

"Speking of whech." I said interrupting.
(Speaking of which.)

Kian jumped a bit and flopped down to floor with a thud. He looked up to me with awe. "Holy crap. You're still freakin' huge."

"Like alweys lettle brrotherr." I grinned as Twilight stepped up beside me.
(Like always little brother.)

"Can you explain why you're talking like that guy from Brave Heart?"

"Charracterr." I stated. "Werre from Trotland and ceme back here weth Twilight. Thenk you coould pull et off?"
(Character.) (We're from Trotland and came back here with Twilight. Think you coould pull it off?)

"Do I have to use the lame accent?"

"Seriously dude, it sounds ridiculous." Spike jumped in.

I rolled my eyes and looked at spike seriously. "Be quieet yoou overr grroon lezerrd."

(Be quiet you over grown lizard.)

"Hey!"

"Spike, James, be nice." Twilight said in a firm chastising voice.

"Alrright mum."(Alright mom.) I said rolling my eyes and wrapping my foreleg around her. I pulled her close and she leaned her head against my shoulder.

Spike rolled his eyes and gagged hopping down from the couch.

"Yoou doon't haf to ef yoou doon't wan't to. But one of us as to' atlest." I said helping up Kian.
(You don't have to if you don't want to. But one of us has to atleast.)

"You can just say you're trying to fit in. Like Pip." Twi said smiling up to me.

"And yoou.," (And you,) I said pointing a hoof at Spike. "Doon't thenk I woon't kick yourr li-le wengless arrse if yoou get me mad." I warned with a joking smirk. (Don't think I won't kick your little wingless ass if you get me mad.)

"Good luck." he said taking an offensive stand. "I'm way tougher than I look." He said smirking back. He settled down and looked to Kian. "Your brother isn't all that bad."

"Thanks" We both said at the same time.
