After waking from a well rested slumber, I smelled food being cooked and it smelled delicious. I headed over to the source and saw Twilight and Spike cooking up some breakfast.

"Oh, Good morning Eric, Sleep well?" Twilight asked.

"Fine, Thank you, is Breakfast almost ready?" I responded with a question of hunger.

"Yeah, In about a minute or so." Spike replied struggling to hold a large plate of hotcakes.

"Allow me to help." I spoke and used the force to levitate the plate from Spike to the table.

"Thank man." Spike replied. I nodded as we all sat down and began eating. After breakfast, I helped out by cleaning the kitchen and as Spike had to head out to meet this 'Big Mac' for hoofball, It was their form of sport like many others from the systems I`ve visited. Then Twilight spoke.

"Hey Eric, Last night I sent a letter to the Princesses and they have agreed to come to Ponyville and see you, isnt it exciting?" Twilight seemed enthusiastic about this, but I was already beyond excited since Ive met Kings, Queens, and Princes, and Princesses from other systems, but still it was good to meet the rulers of the planet.

"When will they be arriving?" I asked.

"Soon, but my other friends will be here as well, we`d like to know as much of your travels to distant planets and your ship." Twilight responded with happiness.

And almost as if this was somehow planned from the start, a knocking at the door was heard. Twilight goes to answer and finds her other 5 friends entering and saying hello to me and her, Also following in were two larger ponies with both wings and a horn, but one was white with a rainbow mane and tail, and the other was midnight blue with a mane that seemed to be made of stars.

"You must be the Jedi Twilight has written to me about, I am Princess Celestia." The larger one started.

"And I am Luna, Pleasure to make you acquaintance." The smaller one finished. As all the other Jedi would have done, I went up to them and bowed myself.

"Your majesties, It is an honor."

"So please tell us, Is there other planets beyond Equestria?" Luna asked.

"Yes Your Highness, There are multiple planets in the galaxy and I believe I do have a map in my ship if it survived the crash." I replied as they followed me out and around the library to see my damaged starfighter. I opened the canopy and be to search for the star map as the ponies looked at the ship and were impressed.

"So this hunk of metal can fly faster than me?" Rainbow asked with jealousy.

"Yes, because there is a certain system that allows me to to jump from planet to planet called a Hyper Drive which allows me to enter Hyperspace." I explained and rattle off about how it operated until I finally found the map. "Ah here we are." I set the device down and it activated showing the galaxy with the planets, stars, and asteroids.

"I think I`ve found inspiration for my next line." Rarity said as she stared at the map and Twilight, Luna and Celestia seemed even more fascinated since they were interested in astronomy.

"I never knew there could be so many different planets." Twilight stated.

"You know, when Im up in space, its actually like a beautiful night you never want to leave." I said which pretty much sparked up the Lunar Princess to give a smile like a Youngling when he received his first lightsaber. I knew this since all organisms sleep during the night and she feels as if no one cares, but I for one adore the night since it provides inspiration to those who seek it.

"I`m glad a being such as yourself finds the night fascinating, its just that nopony has really said that about the nights I provide before." Luna apologized as I gave her a warm smile to know that there was no harm done.

"Its quite alright, but back to the map, you can see all these systems, but one in particular is my home world of Balmorra." I pointed and the image enhanced to show the planet at a closer view.

"So if thats your home planet, Why did you leave in the first place?" Celestia asked. I feared this question and the memories of the past Ive had with the reason I joined the Jedi Order, But now is a good time as any tell them the true story of Eric Keteris.

"The truth is that it all started when I was only a young man living with my mother and never really knowing where my father was. During that time, a group known as the Separatist was growing into a threat across the galaxy. It was one fateful day that changed everything when the Separatist invaded my home planet and battle droids wiped out my city, the people and even my own mother. I too was about to be killed until I was able to use the force and was rescued by a Jedi, who would soon be my master and took me to a planet called Coruscant where I trained to become a Jedi." I sighed afterwards then continued. "I was a quick learner and it took only a year for me to earn Padawan and fought with the Republic to avenge my world and mother, But after the Battle of Mandalore, I earned Jedi Knight and when the Liberation of Kashyyyk was underway, a message or more like an order was given to the clones to betray and kill the Jedi, including my Master and I. Which is why I crashed here."

The ponies were shocked at this and never knew about this war since they have never been informed about this, My guess was that their planet was far away somewhere in the outer rim that no ship has ever attempted to arrive here.

"I'm so sorry about what happened on your world and for what treachery these clones have committed, but you are safe here in Equestria and we`ll be more than happy to help you to what you require." Luna said before smiling warmly.

"Thank you." Was all I said before deactivating the map and looking at my totaled starfighter. "But you wouldn`t happen to have tools I can borrow?"

"I'll get yah some from mah farm, be back in a bit." Applejack said as she trotted down to her farm.

"And speaking of which, I need to complete an order for Hoity Toity later, I'll see you all later." Rarity second as Fluttershy had to tend to her animals, Rainbow on weather patrol, and Pinkie on a party she planned later today. The Princesses and Twilight stayed to learn about the Clone Wars, how clones and droids were produced, and how my master Athan and I were more like family than Master and Apprentice.

"This was very interesting and fascinating to learn about your culture, but Luna and I must return to Canterlot to fulfill our duties. Please feel free to stop and visit sometime." Princess Celestia said as she charged her horn and were gone in a flash. Spending almost the entire morning talking about myself, I asked Twilight some more things about the pony society that I never quite understood like cutie marks and the Elements of Harmony. A knocking on the door was heard.

"Allow me." I humbly said as I opened the door to see Applejack with tools around her back. "I got them tools yah needed, will they work?" She asked. "I grabbed two in my hands and looked before responding. "Yes, these will work fine." I then got outside with the two mares following me as I began to inspect the damaged engines on my starfighter.

After an hour, it came time to test the engines. "Alright, here goes." I hoped they start. I pressed the ignition and with a few sputters from the engines they were finally successful in a roar to life. We all cheered in the success and turned off the starfighter.

"Glad you got your ship working." Twilight said with glee.

"I should be thanking Applejack here for the tools I needed." I turned my attention to the orange mare as she blushed a little.

"Aw Shucks, it was nothin at all." She tried to be modest. With all the time left with nothing else to do, I see no reason why to explore the town of Ponyville.

"Excuse me Twilight, but I think I`d like to explore this lovely town of yours." I said politely.

"Oh of course, Your more than welcome to go off into Ponyville." Twilight responds.

"Thank you, Ill be back soon." I responded as I headed into the town and make a few new friends if this is where Im going to be staying while hiding from the Fallen Republic. But if they do find Equestria, they`ll have to got through me to conquer this planet.
