Life on two sides

I had been helping Twilight pack for, what? Seven hours? Anyway, my point is it's late and she has 5 bags, perfectly packed and organised (mostly because she organised them like 20 times... Each!), and is FINALLY ready to go.

(Later at the train station)

I had started staring at pretty much anything on the way here, and was still doing so as we arrived at the train station, which I didn't notice.

"Excited to see Canterlot up close?"

I stopped as I Heard Twilight's voice, and then responded

"Oh, well, of course. What kind of person, or pony I guess, wouldn't be excited."

"Ok so before we get there, quiz... Again."

"Ok, bring it on."

"My parents names?"

"Twilight Velvet and Nightlight"

"What to tell them if they ask if we're in a relationship?"

"Nope, we're just friends"

As the quiz continues on, I think about the second question she asked me, "friends"? I intend to change that... Later, much later

"Ok that should be it"

I look out the window and see we're about to arrive, so I decide to say "Perfect timing"

"Oh, good" She said looking out the window

"So this is our stop?"

"Yep, follow me" she said, with a kind of joyful tone, it was easy to tell she was happy to be here, but also kind of happy she got to know more than someBODY else.

"Lead on"

We walked for a bit until everywhere we looked was white, fancy looking marble houses, shops and towers

(ALOT of walking later)

Me and twilight had been walking for what seemed like hours, my legs were killing me, and I had stopped looking at the various buildings and ponies we passed by, simply focusing on following twilight.

We came to the edge of town and stopped at a house on the corner of the street.

"Here we are, ready?"

"Is there a soft object to sit on?"

"Yes"

"Then yes, I am definitely ready."

She giggles and says "you're funny sometimes, you know that?"

"I would say thanks, but I can barely stand up."

"Ok, fine" she says, knocking on the door of the house

a muffled voice comes from inside the house saying "One second"

The door opens to a mare who is obviously more than a bit surprised

"Hi mum"

"Twilight?! What are you doing here?"

"I'm not dreaming, right?"

"Well you can't feel pain in a dream" as Twilight says this she lightly hits Velvet, just hard enough to cause a small amount of pain.

"Ow..."

"Anyway, what brings you here?"

"Well, my friend over there suggested I come to see you while I have some free time." She points to me as she says this

"Hi" I manage to say, awkwardly.

"Hello, what's your name?" She stops as she takes a good look at me "what are you?!"

Twilight walks to my side and faces velvet before saying "I knew this would happen. mum this is Johnathen, he's a human"

"A... Hue-min?"

"It's actually pronounced hue-man"

"Ok, so you brought a weird alien creature named Johnathen to my house, should I be happy?"

"He's not a creature, he's just like any other pony, but on two legs and without magic"

"Ok well, um, hello... Johnathen"

"You can call me John"

"Ok, well make yourself at home, I'll go and make some tea for the three of us"
"Oh, John, would you like black tea or-"

"White, please"

"Ok, shouldn't take too long" she says as she starts walking away

"Thanks" she leaves the room after I say this

"Well, she's certainly nice."

"You didn't know that?"

"Your parents never talked"

"Is it just me and all the other main characters that talked?"

"Well recently the background ponies started talking, even having their own episode"

Before Twilight could say anything, Velvet came back into the room with three cups of tea

Velvet placed the cups on the table in front of me and Twilight, then sat opposite of us and began drinking

What came next was something I didn't really want to answer

"So, John, how much do you know about Twilight?"
