I was walking through Ponyville after giving information about the Jedi Order and such and went off to enjoy the day and getting to know the place and maybe make some new friends. So far Ive seen places like a spa, Carousel Boutique, Sugarcube Corner, Sweet Apple Acres, and Town Hall. The residence in the town however, were quite wary of me and hid inside their homes since they havent seen anyone like me before and are quite afraid that I might attack them.

I simply showed that I was harmless by walking up to a food stand with apples in it. "Excuse me, but may I ask where the pony running this stand is at so I may purchase an apple?" I asked aloud to see if anypony responded. Sure enough Applejack appeared from behind the stand like she had been back there the whole time.

"Howdy Eric, Looking at some apples?" The orange mare asked.

"Ah yes, I did get a bit hungry and I was hoping I could get a bite to eat." I replied looking at the various apples in an assortment of flavors. I picked up a Red Delicious and said. "I`d like this one please." But with a simple push from her hoof.

"Please, that one is on the house, enjoy Eric." I was elated, but I thought about their economy for a moment that they have small gold coins they call 'bits' instead of the galaxy currency of credits. But not wanting to argue I went along with it.

"Thank you Applejack, have a pleasant day." I waved good bye and taking a bite out of my fruit. Soon some ponies seemed to ease up a little and come out knowing that I was harmless, which made me feel good now they don`t see me as a monster. I then thought about my time with the Republic and how I had a little droid companion with me, R7-I32. But was sadly sacrificed himself after saving me for me to escape a burning Separatist cruiser. An honorable droid he was and forever in my heart, he shall be.

"I bet Fluttershy has some sort of pet I could have." With that decision in mind, I made way to her cottage that was atop of a little hill outside of Poyville.

Upon arrival, I saw the pegasus feeding a bunny a carrot when she saw me. "Oh, Hello Eric, nice to see you."

"Its nice to see you as well, I was beginning to think about owning a pet of my own, you wouldnt happen to have any would you?" I asked and with this, I couldnt describe how happy she was and started to introduce me to alot of her animal friends from bunnies to snakes to otters and bears. But I needed a pet that was like my master, wise and someone I can treat like family.

I looked at many animals and Fluttershy smiled as I was having a little difficulty finding a pet sutible for me, when I saw it; A baby owl. The baby owl seemed to be about a few months old and able to fly, He also had brown and white feathers and yellow and black eyes.

I picked up the owl gently and he began nuzzling my cheek and hopped on my shoulder. Fluttershy couldn`t help but 'Aww' at the sight.

"It seems you found your perfect pet Eric."

"It seems so, I do thank you for your help Fluttershy." I said extending my hand.

"It was nothing, just happy to help." Fluttershy replied by shaking my hand. "Well see you soon." We waved off each other and I started to walk back to the Library as I began to think of a name for my companion, who for some reason keeps disappearing when I struck an idea.

"So what should I call you? Hoodini?" I asked the owl as it hooted happily. "Hoodini it is." We agreed, but a scream from within the Everfree Forest was heard and it sounded like a mare was in trouble. "Hoodini, fly overhead and help me locate who`s in trouble." I ordered him and Owlton flew off into the forest with me to follow.

Running as quick as I could, Hoodini swooped down to me and lead me into the direction of the scream, and sure enough we found 4 Timberwolves. The mare had a pale yellow coat, raspberry mane with light raspberry streaks, chartreuse green eyes, and a cutie mark of a rose. She was quivering with fear as the wolves moved in for the kill, I didn`t have my blaster with me and ordered Hoodini to get out of the battle ground.

As the one of the wolves then pounced to attack the mare, I force-pushed him into a tree and killed him. The wolves looked at each other in confusion until I leapt in front of them and the mare. "You want this mare, you`ll have to go through me." I said with a menacing glare as the wolves snarled in response.

I jumped up over the wolves and they watched my movement when I had my back turned. Another wolf tried to ambush me, but met a horrible fate when I activated my lightsaber and stabbed it through his head as I lifted it off the ground and flung it to the other side as my blade slipped out.

The two remaining wolves circled around me like sharks to a dying fish. I watched their movements carefully until one pounced for me to quickly jump over it, causing him to overshoot. But like the sneaky creatures they are, the other wolf took advantage and nabbed my left leg. Shaking me violently and teeth slowly sinking in, I needed to get out fast. I then jabbed my lightsaber into the wolf`s eye and exploded.

The bite left 2 large bite marks in my leg and I was bleeding fast, but not severely. The last wolf saw I was injured and thought of an easy kill as he ran at me. Though I could hardly stand, I still sensed the wolf`s approach and put my lightsaber in front of me. The wolf then pounced and lunged at me where I pulled my blade in his direction. Like the fool it was, My lightsaber severed the wolf in half from head to tail and fell in two large pieces before exploding.

After the battle was won with all the timberwolves dead, I deactivated my lightsaber and looked at my wound again to see it bleed out and turned to the mare I rescued. "Please take me to a hospital." Was all I said before blacking out.

(Roseluck`s POV)

I was in the Everfree Forest to find some wild roses for a special bouquet for a costumer, when all of a sudden I heard some growling nearby. I ignored it at first, but it wasn`t until 4 Timberwolves emerged from the forest with hungry eyes. I screamed for help in hopes of somepony to rescue me, but it seemed lost when the wolves were about to attack me.

I was really scared to know that I may never see my friends or Ponyville again, but as a wolf was about to do me in and I awaited my painful end, all I heard was a yelp and explosion. I looked over to see the wolf in splinters and a creature above me.

"If you want this mare, you`ll have to go through me." The creature said and the wolves snarled. The creature jumped over the wolves and killed one of them with his light sword when a wolf pounced on him. The battle was intense since he is risking his life for mine which was really nice and somewhat romantic like how a knight in armor will battle a foul beast for the lovely maiden in distress.

But as it seemed he was winning, The wolves pulled off a smart tactic where one wolf was a distraction and the other attacked my savior. I was shocked and watched in horror as the wolf shook the creature by holding his leg in his mouth. I actually though he might lose his leg, but the creature jabbed his sword into the wolf`s eye and exploded.

I was relieved and my savior ended the last wolf. I was happy to know my savior saved me and I wanted to tell him how thankful I was, but he only turned around and said. "Please take me to a hospital." and collapsed. I was scared and hoped he didn`t die and then I saw his leg injury and how bad it was. Without a second to waste, I tried to stop the bleeding from his leg. I found a few sticks and tore some cloth from his clothes to make a little gauze and lifted him on my back and ran as quick as I could to the Ponyville hospital.

I ran through town with some ponies looking at us, but paid no attention to them as I finally entered the hospital seeing Nurse Redheart and Doctor Horse. "Please help, he saved me from a timberwolf attack and took a severe injury in his leg!" I cried out as the paramedics quickly got a bed out and began to stabilize him.

"Dont worry Rose, We havent lost a patient yet. Thank you for getting him here." Nurse Redheart assured me and left to help out the creature. I only stood in the lobby thinking about how he managed to defeat 4 timberwolves singlehandedly. I didn't know why but I actually found him quite....cute
