Chapter 5: Q&A

Ray's POV

As I ran with Twilight, Fluttershy, and Discord... Actually I should rephrase that. As I kept falling, over and over and all that They say is ,"keep up." Oh well I'm sorry if I'm doing something else and taking up some of your precious time, I mean I just got here and from a different dimension who have 2 legs and 2 arms. I'm sure that's not important right now. Anyway, as I was complaining in my head, we reached Twilight's castle, and it was big. Like really big. As we entered inside, Twilight called a over a dragon.

"Spike come with me," she said.

"um..." I muttered. "Exactly what are we here for?" I asked.

"Well, I was was gonna see how Discord was doing, but since we were interrupted, I'll just be asking you a few questions and you can be off." She answered. That last one scared me a bit. I don't have anywhere to live and here I am in a castle. Maybe if I explain to her my situation, perhaps she can let me stay here. We entered what looks like a library, but it was hard to tell because all there was a lamp on a table. "Please sit on that chair and we can begin the questions," said Twilight. I obeyed and Twilight made a gesture towards Discord and Fluttershy to leave the room except for Spike. "Now lets start with something simple. What's your name" she asks.

"My name is... Ray." I answered.

"I would like to know where exactly where you came from." she asked. I wasn't sure I wanted to because she'll think I'm crazy. "I won't think your crazy, besides I already have to many crazy friends."

I blinked as she read my mind like an open book. I sighed and said ,"I come from a place called Earth. And on Earth, we are not ponies but instead creatures that, get ready, don't have hooves." I said. She and Spike look at me with a shocked expression, like they new where I came from and what I was talking about.

"I always wondered what that place was called," she said under her breath. I gave her a perplexed look and she immediately regained focus. "Sorry, just a mantle note to myself. So how did you get here anyways? And did anyone else come with you?" She asked

"Well I was with my friend, Jessica. You see, she moved away from where we used to leave for at least six years. We still kept in touch but... A lot can happen in those years. She had been bullied because of her eyes. She was called weak and stupid and she decided to prove them wrong. since then, we've been losing touch and she recently came back to spend time with her cousins and her friends. My family decided to get a canoe so we can get out and stuff. I guess things don't turn out so well that we get sucked into a whirlpool and end up here." I say. I blushed as I said all that. I just can't get her out of my mind. I looked up at Twilight and her face looked sad. She understood what I was going through.

"You seem to care about her a lot," she said. I nodded and Spike smirked.

"Is there anything you two shared? Anything that you felt?" he asked.

I blushed. "I-I'd rather not go there," I said

Twilight scowled at spike as he walked backwards. "I'm so sorry. Anyways, do you know where she is?"she asked.

"I'm afraid not. I didn't see where she went when the whirlpool first pulled us in." I said.

"I see. I guess that also means you don't have a place to stay, do you?" she asked. I nodded my head in contentment. "Well I don't want you to stay on the streets. So you may stay in my castle and we can go find your friend."

"Or not," said another voice Jessie? I Thought. I blushed when I saw Jess, she looked absolutely beautiful... Wait what did I just say?

She had bright yellow fur, black and blood red striped mane and tail, and wings on her back. She was wearing a dark grey fedora with a silver bow tie on it. She was also wearing a really dark purple scarf and a wrist watch. Next to her was a white unicorn with light blue and pink with a red daisy in her hair. She also had a cotton candy heart as her cutie mark. She aslo had a golden heart locket around her neck accompanied by some gold ring bracelets around her fore-hooves and some black fancy black boots on her back hooves.

"Jess!" I called out.

Then she cut me off. "No, no, no, I am Dawn now." I gave her a confused look. She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "For pony purposes," she said. I nodded in understanding. "Also this is Cotton Swirl. AKA Laura." she whispered that last part in my ear.

"So, how did you know where to find me? Also nice sense of style by the way," I said.

She blushed at the comment. "I didn't know you were here in the first place. I also picked out the clothes my self, thanks." she said.

I looked at her in confusion. "how?" I asked her in confusion.

"well I dunno, I'm just so used to wearing clothes all the time It doesn't feel good to be naked all day."

I brought my hoof to my face. "Not talking about the clothes." I said.

"Oh... Well Cotton, Pinkie, Rarity and I were talking when I noticed your camera in a corner, in tact nonetheless, and they said it was in the same hay barrel I was in. Then I started Freaking out and we decided to come here to see if you were here, and here you are." She exclaimed. I looked at her. She was worried about... Me. I know I should be thinking of other things but I can't.

"We also brought the camera if you want it." said Cotton. I was surprised it was even in tact. We fell pretty high and it's just mind boggling.

Just then Twilight cleared her throat and got our attention. "Well no that we know that you are safe, you can stay in the castle as well."

"oh no that's fine." said Dawn. "I plan to stay with Cotton. Besides, I don't do good in big places, I get lost easily." she said. I could't blame Jess. She's used to being in small places when it comes to staying somewhere. She got scared when she came over to my place.

Then I said something completely stupid. "C-c-can I come?" I asked without thinking twice. The two just looked at me. I should've just kept my mouth shut.

"Well the extra room I'm lending Dawn does, conveniently, have another bed sooo..." said Cotton. I sighed with relief at the convenience of an extra bed... With Dawn nonetheless. Spike smirked at me and I shot a look at him.

"Well if you two need anything, don't hesitiate to come ask me something," said Twilight.

"Oh don't worry about them Twilight," Discord says as he came out of nowhere. "I'll have all of their needs and wants in no time at all."

While I was standing there, Baffled, Jess (I'm just gonna call her Dawn whenever I'm talking.) was drooling over Discord's appearance. I seriously want answers and I want them now. But until the time comes, I'm just gonna have to wait it out.
