Shadows, All That They Seem?

A Second Chance

Previous Chapter

If you didn't notice in the last chapter, I said this one would be in first person/pony POV. Good luck.

It took about 2 hours before we got to Ponyville. When we got there, we landed in front of Twilight's treebrary. Twilight bid everyone else goodbye, and led me in. Oh! I also have decided to not bring up anything about the show, and just pretend I know nothing about them, unless I'm talking to Princess Celestia or Princess Luna. Anyways, Twilight led me into her treebrary, then called for Spike. Spike came down, gave me a look, then sighed. I was honestly confused.

"Another one, Twilight? I thought you were gonna give up after what happened before Princess Celestia sent you here." Said Spike. This confused me, and i guess me being here, well, may have effected what happens. I looked to Twilight for answers, but only saw her glaring at Spike while blushing, probably almost as red as Big Mac, or the red in Dash's mane. That was when I figured out what Spike meant, and i couldn't help but burst out laughing. Spike started laughing too. When we finished, Twilight was glaring at both of us. "I'll go upstairs. See ya." Said Spike. And with that, he left.

Twilight turned to me. "Ugh. Let's go. I'll show you the guest room, which may be your semi permanent room." Said Twilight. She started walking up the stairs. I followed her to a room that was right next to hers. "By the way, I'm Twilight, if you didn't already know." Said Twilight.

"I'm Shadow Leaper. But you can call me Shadow." I said.

"Good night, Shadow." Said Twilight. After she said that, she left. I got settled in, and oddly enough, was out cold the moment i hit the bed.


I woke up feeling refreshed. I didn't know where to go to use the bathroom, so i aimlessly walked around. I figured I would poke  my head into each room and hope I get lucky. That was a mistake. The first door i opened and looked in was Twilight's room. I had figured she would be asleep, but I was wrong. She looked up from her book, looked at me, then to Spike, then she screamed and threw her book at me. I ran and went back to my room. I could just hold it in, you know? Later on, I realized there was a bathroom next to the closet. How I didn't notice that before, I don't know. I went in, and that was when Twilight decided to come check on me. I was in the bathroom at the time, so when she couldn't find me, she looked everywhere. I was almost done when i realized that the door was opened, and Twilight was looking at me with a blush. Now it was my turn to scream, so i grabbed the closest object and threw it. Turns out Twilight kept a few potions in the guest bathroom. I may have accidentally turned her to stone. I finished up, what? It's not like i was just going to stop peeing? Anyways, I finished, and i reached to all the potions, and I realized, I had no idea what the said. I can't read Equestrian. I grabbed the one I thought was next to the stone potion, and luckily, it was the correct potion. I poured a bit on Twilight's head so she could breath and talk.

"What the HELL!" Yelled Twilight.

"You walked in on ME while i was PISSING!" I yelled. It was her fault.

"Ugh. Whatever, just pour the rest on me so I can move." Said Twilight. I thought of something that might work better.

"Uh, Twilight. Wouldn't it be more efficient to drink a bit so it can get into your system?" I said. Twilight was about to say something, then her face turned to shock.

"Oh. My. Celestia! That might be one of the most genius things i've ever HEARD!" Yelled Twilight. So, I poured a bit in her mouth, and almost a minute later, she was free. She got up, hugged me, remembered what happened earlier, and slapped me.

"What was that for!" I yelled, confused why she slapped me.

"That was for walking in and interrupting my reading time and Spike's sleep time." Said Twilight.

"I would slap you for walking in on me peeing, but you're a girl. I don't hit girls." I said.

"Let's just forget any of this happened. You've got a big day, mostly with Rainbow." Said Twilight. Rainbow? What was I going to do wi-. Oh! Flying lessons. Right.

"Well, alright then. I really want to use these." I said, looking at my wings.

Anyways, before I went to fly with Dash, I had to meet up with all of Twilight's friends.

Fluttershy was, let's say, too timid to meet me right then.

AJ, as she wanted me to call her, was less farm sounding than the show makes her seem. She mostly only says 'Y'all', 'Ahm', and 'Sugarcube.'

Pinkie was, Pinkie.

Rarity was more concerned about what i should wear.

I will say this though. Rainbow was the coolest, and most upbeat pony, other than Pinkie of course, to greet me. She was a bit cocky, but that was understandable. I don't want to say what happened when we went back before flight lessons, mainly because i fell. A lot. My face has hit the ground more times in one hour in this world, than in my whole other world. It  was embarrassing to say the least. But when Pinkie saw me, she walked over and fell a lot to, so everyone else thought it was a game. Thank god for that.
