Chapter 19: My Day with Ponies

David was up early this morning thanks to the alarm he had set up, it was time to get in some physical exercise in and he was supposed to meet up with two of his new alien pony friends at the apple farm. Thankfully the ship while having a limited wardrobe did have clothing for different climates. He pulled out a pair of shorts, a T-shirt and was thankfully he had a decent pair of shoes for running. He really didn’t think going back to Pathfinder for his workout clothing would be worth all the work to get up there and back.

While not wanting to have a large breakfast he did put some fruit in a blender for a small quick smoothie before the run so he would at least have some fuel in the tank. This was not only an opportunity to get to know two of the residents a bit more but also check out their physical abilities. The fun he had with Rainbow Dash and one of his drones had given him some inside into how well a Pegasus flew. Now it was time to see how well they ran.

Although if they were anything like actual horses they should be fast, thankfully humans were one of the most enduring species on their planet. Sure most animals could be faster than a human but a human could wear down most animals if they were in shape.

Picking up a small water bottle that he strapped to his small belt he started a few warm up exercises to loosen up a bit. With that done he left the ship, it was still pretty early the morning sun was just starting to come out as he made a light job in the direction of the farm. It wasn’t hard to find, the place was huge and it was in the direction of that creepy forest he had landed in. The place was actually pretty beautiful as he made his way there.

It reminded him of some of the more scenic places back on Earth or even one of the larger parks on the space colonies. There were some worlds that he had explored that were beautiful but this world being so close to what you could find in the Sol system, well it strangely felt very much like he was back home.

Meanwhile at the Apple farm two mares were out front stretching up as they were getting ready for an early morning run. AJ with her ever present hat was working out her back legs as Rainbow was jogging in place a little in order to warm herself up.

“So ya said he wanted ta join us today?” AJ asked her friend.

“Yep, said he wanted to keep in shape,” she replied. “I think all her book stuff he and Twilight have been doing has been keeping him from working out.”

“Well as long as he can keep up ah don’t mind,” she finished her stretching at that moment. “Actually I’m might curious how he does with those long legs of his.”

“Yeah I wonder how he stays up all the time on just two,” Rainbow snickered and then looked at her friend. “So you’re not freaked out about an alien with us? I mean when we were talking about those strange lights and sounds and someone brought up aliens you seemed a little scared about it.”

AJ paused as she looked away, “It’s nothin’, just kept thinkin’ of all those stories Granny used to tell about aliens takin’ ponies in the middle of the night when ah was a filly.”

“Oh yeah those stories about the Grey Ponies,” Rainbow told her remembering all those stories others claimed to be abducted by strange grey alien ponies. “But you’re fine now?”

“After what he did fer Apple Bloom as her friends, he’s all right in my book.” AJ told her. “Heck anypony that does something like that to help out some fillies deserves a chance and he’s not bad company from the party.”

“Oh yeah he’s cool,” Rainbow nodded. “Even if he is a bit of a book worm like Twilight, oh hey here he comes.”

Both mares looked to see David jogging their way over to them, he waved with a smile as they waved back. He slowed down to a stop in front of them feeling a bit refreshed but he still was ready for a lot more.

“Good morning you two.” David said to them.

“Mornin’ looks like y’all are ready for a run,” AJ said warmly to him.

David nodded his head. “Just go easy at the start, I don’t know how fast you two can go.”

“Oh don’t worry big guy, we’ll take it nice and slow at the start,” Rainbow nudged AJ in the shoulder playfully as the farm mare gave a chuckle.

He really hoped they didn’t take off at a neck break pace or something. The three of them started off with a light jog as they ran around the perimeter of the farm. All they did was follow the white fencing that the Apple family had set up around their property. David kept his breathing as even as he could, getting into a rhythm going with the girls.

The two of them were easily keeping up with him and it wasn’t too long before Rainbow pulled a head a little, this caused AJ to catch up with her. David had to shift it up a gear to keep up with them but he could already tell that they were fast. Once again Rainbow would get a little competitive and AJ was all too happy to keep up with the Pegasus.

David ended up pushing himself to his max speed limit keeping up with them, well he did want a workout and apparently he was going to get one. He felt his legs starting to burn as his lungs struggled to keep his body supplied with oxygen as this high pace. They ended up going around the fence but then they went into an opened gate. They ran through a path between the rows upon rows of apple trees.

He had to admit that the apple farm was a very nice place and it was amazing that Applejack and her family worked it themselves.

Humans had simple drones to help with the farming but they were doing it old school here. Granted there were farms that still worked it without drone assistance from what little he knew about farming. It wasn’t exactly his field of expertise after all but he was impressed that they worked this much land.

They ended up at the farm and took the main road to the front gate to where they started off. Rainbow took off like a rocket as AJ kept up with her, David just kept his pace not even trying to keep up with those two.

Both ponies got to the gate thirty seconds before him as both mares stopped in their tracks. At first he was worried they stopped because of him but they seemed to be doing cool down exercises so they were finished apparently. While fast he was used to much longer runs, maybe they had speed but it seemed he could run them into the ground long distance.

That helped a little with his bruised male ego as being beaten by two alien women but in all honestly it wasn’t that big of a bruise.

As AJ and Rainbow were doing their cool down exercises they had noticed that they had lost their partner.

“Ah think we went a bit too fast for him,” AJ commented.

“Guess his kind just don’t have pony speed,” Rainbow said proud to outdo the alien, mainly because now she could brag about not only being the fastest in all of Equestria but maybe in all of space too.

David arrived back down at his own pace now as he got his breathing back under a more manageable rate which helped him out a bit more. He saw the two of them and raised an eyebrow.

“That’s it?” He challenged them.

“You still got some energy in you partner?” AJ asked him taking a closer look and although he looked a little tired he did seem like he could keep going. Maybe their kind had more in the endurance department or something?

David nodded, “Usually I run for longer.”

“Longer?” Rainbow asked him. “How much longer?”

“Not sure about how you measure distance yet…but at least from here back to the ship if not more.” He clarified.

“Huh, well you certainly can go all day long,” AJ chuckled. “But ah got my chores to do and ah can’t do them if ah’m all tuckered out.”

“Well I’m going to go on, no way am I going to let him out do me,” She looked up at David as she started to jog in place. “I’m up to still go with you pal.”

David smiled and nodded, “Okay, let’s go.”

AJ had a feeling that Rainbow might regret that as she watched them jog off again although now it seemed Rainbow at least had the smarts to keep his pace and not set her own. AJ swung herself back to the farm it was a long day like usual but then again she loved the work on her farm and couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day sometimes.

Rainbow and David continued on back to the ship, although she put up a good front, Rainbow was really starting to feel her body starting to protest the long trip. Running wasn’t as easy as flying given she had her Pegasus magic to help with that, plus you could glide while in the air. She was wondering if she flew more than actually walked anywhere given how her legs were starting to scream out at her to stop. Then again she knew that she had a weakness when it came to long distance flying so a weakness with long distance running wasn’t much of a stretch either.

Still he kept pace with him, it was strange how he had to work to keep up with their speed but at this slow speed he could just keep going forever. He wasn’t even breathing as hard as she was at the moment and it slightly irritated her.

Eventually they made it back to the ship and Rainbow was glad for it, she had put everything she had and then some but somehow she was able to keep going. She was thankful for when they finally reached his ship, she nearly fell down onto the grass but she didn’t want to look weak in front of him.

She wasn’t however above panting for breath.

David grinned seeing her like that, she acted all tough but he could see her legs shaking slightly. He knew someone like that during the Pathfinder training always toughing it out. As he started to stretch himself out he noticed that a lot more of the aliens were around the hill looking down at his ship. Some were pointing at him and talking but he just ignored it. He figured this would happen sooner or later and in time things would calm down. At least he hoped that it would calm down eventually.

He certainly hoped that it wouldn’t get too crazy at least or else he might have to ask the Princesses to set up a perimeter with guards if things were getting rowdy. He really didn’t want some over eager types to start messing with his ship and couldn’t fly he might run into trouble getting off the planet. He hadn’t finished the safety inspection after the repairs on Sparrow II so that was out in case he missed something and an accident happened. Sparrow III was an option too but it was pretty big and bulky and he wasn’t confident in a remote flight with it. Its shape and mass made it so that a human pilot was best to fly it.

David finished up with his stretching after cooling down, he learned that was important so that the muscles didn’t get all tensed up the next day. He noticed Rainbow doing similar although it was kind of interesting to see a four legged being with wings stretch out.

He also noticed that she looked pretty drained.

“Want some water?” He asked her.

“Yeah I could use some.” She nodded her head.

“Come on in,” He said going up the ramp to the door. [mi casa es su casa]

“Huh?”

“Just a saying,” He explained as the door opened. “It means, let me think…in your language my home is your home.”

“Oh cool,” Rainbow went up the ramp as she tried to play it nice and cool while on the inside she was giddy. She hadn’t been inside the ship yet and she really wanted to look around. First the water though.

As she walked inside she couldn’t help but look around, the smooth walls and the row of lights overhead that seemed to go all the way down the hallway. The walls were a combination of cool grays and blues. Dash looked around not sure where to head on first but David was going somewhere so she followed him.

He got her a small bottle of water from what looked like a small kitchen area. She was thankful for the cool water as she downed it. The cool liquid really hit the spot for her as she started to feel a bit more energized.

“Oh man I needed that,” She said and then sniffed the air. The scent of herself and him was starting to get a bit noticeable in the confined space as both of them had worked up a sweat. “Uh…you got a shower in here I can borrow or should I just go home for one?”

“This way,” He smiled and led her down the hallway to a small room.

Rainbow could tell it was a bathroom as it was pretty similar, just scaled up a bit for his size she figured. There was no bathtub but the large rectangular part did look like a shower.

“I’ll give you some privacy.” He told her.

“Thanks,” She called back to him as he closed the door from the other side. Rainbow hovered a bit looking at everything. It was all metallic and looked pretty clean. She looked at the sink but didn’t see anything to turn for water just two buttons. She pressed one as water came out of the faucet. The button was lit up and there seemed to be a gauge of some kind.

Touching it experimentally she found with the tip of her hoof she could control the glowing gauge somehow.

“Huh, I wonder what’s the point of that?” She muttered as she tested the water and found it freezing. She looked at it and tried to lower the round gauge and tested the water again. It was still cold but not as much.

“Ohhhh, it controls the temperature.” The pressed the button and it turned off with the water. “Cool.”

She guessed the other button was for heat, well with her little experiment done she went to the shower. She saw the shower head after moving aside the door as it slide to the left and saw a shower head with a tube connecting it so it looked like the head was movable. She saw the same button only this time there was just the one.

She pressed it an saw the water come on and the light gauge again, the water was okay but soon found it heated up slightly. While she was tempted to play around with it she really wanted to get wet and it felt good enough for her. She stepped in and let the water run over her body. She moaned as the water got rid of the grime out of her coat and wings, fluttering her wings slightly to get the water as the more hard to reach spots inside of them.

Rainbow could see some bottles but didn’t want to try them, she had no idea which was soap and which was shampoo and honestly she had no idea if it would make her coat all stick out. While she didn’t mind a messy appearance she wouldn’t like going around looking like she got struck by lightning the entire day.

After a refreshing shower she turned it off and let the water fall off a bit. She opened the door to the shower and looked around but she didn’t see any towels. Frowning she was about to call out when the door to the bathroom suddenly opened and David was there with a couple of towers.

“Sorry I forgot to replace the towels from yesterday.” He said.

Rainbow blushed as she slammed closed the door. “What are you doing!? You never enter the bathroom with a mare in it!” She yelled at him.

David paused not sure what just happened. “Uh…okay…but why? You’re not any different than outside.”

“It’s a privacy thing!” She yelled out at him. “You don’t just enter a bathroom with somepony you hardly know! Only ponies you’re close and comfortable with you can do that!”

“Oh! Sorry,” He placed the towels down as he honestly hadn’t thought about it. He guessed it was just a cultural thing they had, they went around basically ‘naked’ the entire time so he figured it wasn’t a big thing but maybe there were moments of privacy that were just more intimate. Granted if she had been human he wouldn’t have just walked in but he had seen her not wear a stick of clothing so again, he figured it would have been fine to get in if she was just showering.

He quickly closed the door and made a note to put this into his findings about their culture as well as to always knock before going into a bathroom or if someone was in their room.

After a few minutes Rainbow came out with a towel around her head and body as soon as she saw him she blushed a bit.

“Again I’m very sorry,” David told her.

“Yeah I get it you’re an alien, but don’t let it happen again,” She told him angrily.

He quickly nodded his head. “Can I make it up to you?”

She thought about it, “Well after you get cleaned up you can show me the ship, and never mention this ever again.”

“Deal.” He told her.

-Another Time-

David felt the soft bed under him and the thin sheet that covered his lower half. He was still in that place where you felt half asleep but yet somewhat awake. Then he felt the bare arm of a woman wrapping itself around him started to pull him out of his near dream state. He felt her warm bare flesh against his back as she shifted up against him.

“What time is it?” He asked her.

“Still pretty early,” her soft voice said to him. “But if you want, we could just spend the day here.”

Oh man he was tempted with that, but there was something he had to do today that he couldn’t be late for. “Linda, as much as I would love that, and trust me I really want to. You know I got the interview today for the Pathfinder Program.”

There was a pause there a little longer than he liked.

“Do you have to pick that, you can do anything else. You know my father could get you a pilot’s job if you really want to fly.”

“It’s not just about flying Linda, if it was I could just fly one of my family’s transports.” David checked the time, he had a few hours to kill by the looks of it. “I want to get out there, I want to see the universe.”

She shifted away from him and he could feel her move away slightly. “If you get in that’s over a year of training and another six months or longer in space.”

“We talked about this,” he sighed. “I can still call you up even though I can’t leave during the training and I will be back.”

He was getting a bit tired of this talk with her, hell they had full on arguments about it. She didn’t want him to leave but this was literally once in a lifetime chance and he had to take it. He had dreamed of this and wanted to do this but she didn’t want to be physically separated for over a year. He shifted over and buried himself into her side as he wrapped an arm around her.

That’s when he noticed something was wrong, he didn’t remember having this much hair, plus was her back all hairy? Her torso felt odd as well as he ran his hand slightly, when she gasped he got a face full of feathers of all things.

“What the fuck!?” David pulled back and somehow managed to get out of his bed without falling as he threw the sheet away. He paused at the sight of at first what he thought was a white horse in his bed but the shocked look on the familiar yet alien face was another surprise for him.

“Well I hope that you’re ready for-AHH!” Luna had suddenly appeared out of nowhere as the younger Princess reared back at the sight in front of her.

David’s mind slowly caught up to the fact that he wasn’t back in his old apartment, Linda wasn’t there anymore and he was dreaming again only how he had both royals in his head apparently. He also noticed that the two were staring at him with wide eyes as he looked down to see his nakedness.

“Of for fuck’s sake!” He quickly took a pillow to cover himself. “Why the fuck are you in bed with me?!”

“I don’t know!” Celestia defended herself as she got off the bed pulling her wings back to her side and trying to regain her composure. “I was dreaming about being on a beach and the next thing I know I has here and…well…” She blushed at the memory of his arm around her barrel and his hand caressing her underside. David ran his free hand not holding the pillow, to his face and groaned slightly into it.

He couldn’t believe it, okay sure it was all a dream but he had just felt up one of the rulers of this planet. What the hell kind of crazy Captain Kirk like thing was going on here? Both he and Celestia quickly turned to face Luna, first the Rainbow incident and now this.

“Uh…it was a total accident,” she told them both. “I thought it would be faster to just pull my sister from her dream and into yours, I didn’t know how she would have appeared or what you were dreaming about.” She bit her bottom lip slightly when finished sorry that this had happened.

“Okay first,” David said looking at her sternly. “No more blindly going into my dreams like that.”

“Or pulling others in, in the same manner,” Celestia added in.

“Yeah that too,” David nodded. “Second thing, can you two turn around or something while I get dressed.”

“This is a dream,” Luna told him. “If you wish clothing just think it, in fact you are dressed now.”

David blinked and looked down and was surprised to find himself fully dressed. Dream logic, go figure as he slightly pulled away the pillow to check he wasn’t unzipped or something and threw it onto the bed when he found nothing more embarrassing was showing.

“Okay final thing, we never ever speak of this again, we take this to our graves,” then he thought about it. “Well okay at least wait until I’m long dead you two will most likely outlive me anyway.”

“Agreed,” Celestia told him.

“I will not tell a soul,” Luna offered.

There was an awkward silence between the three of them and he really wanted a distraction from having just flashed two royals and had gotten to basically second base with one of them. He looked around the place, it looked just like he remembered it from when he lived here with Linda. It brought back a mixture of emotions from him, how long had it been since she left him?

About a year now it seemed.

“Is this your home?” Celestia asked looking around clearly trying to change the subject.

He was thankful for her trying to refocus their thoughts onto something else.

“It was,” David told her looking around the bedroom as he went to door and opened it. “Better view is out there in the living room.”

The pony princesses walked through the door as David walked behind them he paused to take a look at the bed behind him. He suppressed a sigh at the memory of that dream, that had been one of the last moments he had with Linda. He kept in touch with her during his training but within six months into his training he got a message from her.

It didn’t matter what was said in her message only that she wouldn’t be in his life anymore.

He closed the door to the bedroom like he had metaphorically closed the door on that part of his life awhile ago.

Celestia and Luna walked into an open area with metal table with a glass top with matching styled chairs. There was a living area with black leather couches but what caught their attention was the view. They walked to the large window as they looked out at the human city before them. There were tall shining buildings that reflected the light of the sun, streets that were filling with people with strange vehicles both on the ground and flying in patterns in the air.

The buildings were just towering in ways that both Princesses couldn’t fathom how they were built. They were taller than any building that was built on their world, in styles that were foreign to them. There were basic rectangular buildings but there were others that had unique designs to them. There was a tower that twisted around for instance which ended in a pointed tip.

Celestia looked out in awe at the engineering marvels she was looking at. It had been a long time since she saw the world like this. With fresh eyes and full of wonder again, it had been centuries since she last felt like this.

Looking out she could only wonder just how many lived in this city, it was far larger than any city she could think of and she was only seeing one part of it.

“How many humans are there?” Celestia asked still gazing out the window.

“Kind of hard to say for certain,” David told her. “A few billion on Earth, a few million on space colonies and then hundreds of thousands on various planetary colonies…so we’re spread out a bit.”

Celestia’s mind started to spin at the numbers that had to be out there. There were more of these humans than the entire population of her entire planet. She took a breath as she centered herself, “Well I see there will be another thing we’ll have to discuss in the morning with the representatives.”

“Joy,” Luna had already set up a meeting with all of the ambassadors and the morning was going to be a very long close door meeting.

“So there are other countries?” David hadn’t been able to ask that question or at least not in a way that he felt comfortable in their language.

“Yes,” Luna answered. “We have a meeting with Saddle Arabia, the Griffon Kingdom, the Minotaurs, the Zebras.”

“Wait did you said griffons and minotaurs?” David held up a hand at that. “As in part bird and part cat? And the other guys are large that look like me but mixed in with a bull?”

Both Luna and Celestia shared a look between each other before turning back to him as Celestia asked him how he knew that.

David sat down on the couch, it was yet another strange thing he had seen on this world. He had kept it from the others because he was still investigating it but he really could use some kind of help with this. Looking at the two rulers he contemplated telling them or keeping quiet but he could see that they knew he had something to tell them. If he kept it to himself it would sew a seed of mistrust and their relationship was still too young to start lying outright.

Running a hand through his hair he made a choice and he really hoped it was the right one.

“Okay I’m going to level with the two of you and honestly I could also use your advice on how to handle this information.”

Both rulers could see that something was weighing on him as they walked up to sit across from him.

“I take it that this is something troubling?” Celestia asked him.

“Well…depends on how you look on it,” David admitted. “Honestly I’m not sure but okay here’s the thing. This planet is just one giant ball of weirdness.”

“Thank you for your critique of our home,” Luna said in a deadpan way giving him a leveled look.

“Hold on it’s not what you think,” He quickly. “You see my people have legends and myths of things like Pegasi, Unicorns, dragons, griffons and hell even Alicorns apparently are all part of our history. I had to look up alicorn as I hadn’t heard of it before but it was there. Not only that, but your world is filled with plants and animals that are also found on Earth.”

That shocked the two princesses.

“You mean similar?” Luna asked hoping he was exaggerating.

“I mean exact so far,” David explained. “Thanks to Fluttershy I got some hair or feather samples from her animals and with some strange genetic drift that I haven’t explained yet, they are nearly a one hundred percent a match. The same with the trees, plants and hell even the damn grass is similar to what was found in a place called Europe on Earth.”

“Now I’ve been to all kinds of planets, moons. I’ve read up on a lot of other discoveries of other words before my mission, during and I looked through the database to double check just in case recently after looking at all of this. There is nothing that my people have found that is remotely similar to this. Maybe similar plants and animals evolve given the right conditions but this close and this many? The odds are so insane that you have better luck getting struck my lighting, twice, on a clear sunny day.”

The two sisters weren’t sure what to do with this revelation unsure what to think of it.

“Are you telling us that there is a link between our two worlds?” Celestia finally asked.

“It looks that way,” David nodded. “I was hoping you would have some answers for that.”

Both sisters shared a look again as they tried to think of something between them but both were coming up dry.

Celestia looked at him as she thought back as far as she could. “I’m sorry but I can’t tell you what we don’t know. This revelation is…I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea.”

“It is a very big revelation.” Luna agreed.

“Tell me about it, so there are no records?” David asked them both. “No histories, or even legends that might explain it?”

Celestia sighed as she thought about it. “There was the Great Library but it was lost before even Luna and myself were even born.”

“The Great Library?” David asked leaning in.

Celestia nodded, “It was supposedly made long before the forming of Equestria and was supposed to hold all the combined knowledge of our world. It was said to have been built by the Alicorn race that is before they left.”

“Left?” David was a bit confused as he thought they were alicorns.

Luna now took over, “Before Equestria there were many more alicorns but for some reason they all left. Only my sister and I remained behind as children, we have no idea whatever became of them, where they left or why they left and we were left behind.”

“Throughout time a few ponies have ascended into alicorn status,” Celestia continued. “But they are not natural born ones. There hasn’t been a natural born alicorn birth since Equestria was created.”

“Wait your people can become like you?” David asked them.

Celestia nodded, “Yes there have been those that ascend into an alicorn but as not fully born ones they don’t have our extended life span and age normally.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, just how old are you two?” He got the feeling that there was some age there and the old tapestries in that castle kept coming back to him. The images of a white and blue alicorn on a sun and moon, he had thought that it was just some ancestral thing but now he was thinking they were the damn models for them.

“It’s not polite to ask a mare her age you know,” Celestia smirked at him before getting serious again. “My sister and I are around thirteen hundred years old, give or take a few decades.”

“It honestly gets a bit difficult to keep track sometimes,” Luna shrugged as when you lived as long as they had the years kind of blurred together sometimes. Plus honestly, who would want to try to blow out a cake with that many candles on it?

He let out a low whistle although he had no real proof he didn’t get the idea they were lying. With human medicine being the way it was the human life span was a hundred and twenty but they blew that out of the water. “Well you certainly both don’t look it.”

Celestia smiled politely at him although it was nice to hear from time to time. They both be long lived but it did feel nice to feel young sometimes.

David sighed and leaned back against the couch. “Well that sucks about this library and stuff, I was hoping for something more to help me make sense of all of this.”

“We’re sorry but a lot of the history from that time has been lost,” Luna told him honestly. “We have slowly recovered some things over time but there is just so much lost that we may never get it back.”

“Well I guess now we have to wonder what to do with this little bit of information,” David looked at them seriously. “I mean how everyone would take it.”

Celestia had to admit that she too was worried about it, some of her ponies could be a little prone to overreaction.

“I believe that for the time being we should keep this to ourselves,” Celestia said eventually. “We don’t have any kind of answers just yet and there must be a clue somewhere. I can discreetly have a team put together for a research project and see what they can find. Even with all the lost history there might be something hidden away in some book somewhere long forgotten.”

“The Canterlot archives is very vast,” Luna put in thinking of the large rooms where her sister had put in many books over the past thousand years. “Perhaps there is something that was missed or misplaced over time?”

Celestia nodded, “Another possibility.”

“Well looks like we got a mystery on our hands, er…hooves in your case.” David stood up as he looked out the window. “There are a lot of mysteries about your world and somehow there is a link between our worlds. I’ll have to secure my computers, Twilight is a curious one and is eager to look through my data banks.”

“Maybe I can seal away certain parts just in case.” He added.

“That might be very prudent my student has always loved knowledge.” Celestia smiled.

“Well now that that is out of the way,” David looked at the two of them. “How shall we spend the rest of the night? I know, how about you tell me about the other races on this world, I get the feeling I’m going to need to know about them.”

“You are correct about that,” Celestia nodded. “Although there are some races that are more isolated like Diamond Dogs and Dragons but we’ll get them in time. I believe we’ll start with the ones we have relations with.”

Luna hid a smirk, her elder sister was getting into her ‘teacher’ mode, Celestia did so love to teach and apparently she had taken this alien as a new student.

Next up Chapter 20: Political Games
