--- Twilight Sparkle Third person POV ---

Early in the morning when most ponies have started setting up their stalls for the day Twilight makes her way towards town hall. As she approaches she is stopped by Applejack "Howdy Twi wher are ya headin' so early?"

"Morning Applejack I am on my way to speak to Mayor Mare about somepony new to town."

"A new pony and you know before Pinkie. What did Celestia tell you to make preparations for their arival."

"No it's not like that in fact they are already in town. Mayor Mare want just wanted to properly introduce them to the town because he's a little diffrent."

"Diffrent how?"

"Well he's human don't tell any pony I think it would be better if this was a surprise."

"Golly Twi I thought ther wernt any humans left."

"Well he's the last one apparently him and his friend were sent to our time by a spell and Discord seems to know something about it ,but he said that he won't say anymore. Well Aj I need to get going goodbye."

"See ya Twi can't wait to meet that human."

With that Twilight continued on her way towards town hall. As she walked she ran into Pinkie Pie who seemed to be searching for something." Pinkie did you lose something?"

The party pony turns excitedly and exclaims."Hi Twilight no I didn't lose anything I am trying to find the new pony in town," Twilight becomes worried that Pinkie may scare NT in her excitement of meeting him," well they might not be a pony all my Pinkie sense tells me somepony new is in town and I can't find them. Twilight have you seen anypony new cause I been lookingevrywhereandaskingeverypony..."

"Pinkie calm down I can't understand you. Now stop and breathe yes there is somepony new in town, but he's in the hospital he gets out today. Pinkie when you meet him you have to becareful he is not good with mares."

"Got it Twilight see ya later I got a party to plan."

"Ok bye Pinkie." With that the party pony bounce away. Thinking that NT may need help with Pinkie she continues on towards town hall. She arrives at town hall at the same time Mayor Mare does. "Good morning Mayor Mare"

"Good morning Ms.Sparkle it's good to see you. About what we..."

"Yes about that he said he would be happy to speak to you."

"That is very good to hear I will be over to the hospital around ten and we will have a press confrence at noon don't worry Ms.Sparkle I will handle everything thank you for your assistance.", With that said Mayor Mare waves good bye walks inside.

With her task done she turned to head home. Once home she decided that she should let Spike meet NT before he meets Mayor mare. "Spike get ready to go we are going to visit NT in a hour."

"Alright I can't wait. Twilight do you think we should bring him something like mabye some cookies?"

"Sure Spike just don't put gems in it I don't know if humans can eat gems."

"Alright Twi I'll get started on those right now." With that said the young drake runs in to the kitchen.

---One hour later---

"Alright Spike ready to go?"

"Yeah Twi lets go." The two of them head off toward the hospital. On the way the there they ran into Fluttershy. "Hi Fluttershy where are you headed?" Called Spike.

"Oh I'm on my way to see NT yesterday I told him I would stop by so we could talk."

"Oh we were on our way to see him too.", replies Twilight, "Fluttershy I wanted to ask what happened when you went in to Everfree with him yesterday?"

"Actually nothing happened we went in and out without incident he had something to guide him to his stuff so it did not take long."

"That is good to hear did you learn any thing about him?"

"Sorry no he didn't say much, at first I thought he was mad at me, but when I apologized he told me about his gynaphobia and said sorry for worring me. Then we laughed and he asked if I would come by so we could talk."

"Umm Twi what's gynaphobia?" Asked Spike.

"Well it's the fear of mares. Pixi told me it may be from before he lost his memories." Replies Twilight.

"Oh dear that's terrible. How did he lose his memories?", asked Fluttershy.

"Pixi said she shouldn't be the one to tell anypony, so we have to wait for NT to tell. We should probably hurry we only have til ten before he meets with Mayor Mare." The three of them nod in agreement and head toward the hospital.

--- NT's Pov ---

"So Dr.Stable what's the verdic?"

"Well you seem to be in perfect health ,but there is some bad news." The doctor turns to me with a solemn face.

"What is it?" I reply scared.

"You will be leaving today." He say straight faced after about ten seconds we both bust out laughing.

"You got me doc don't worry knowing my luck you will see me often enough." I state wiping a tear from my eye. "So how long until my arm is useable?"

"About four days."

"Good to know thanks doc."

"Happy to help. Nurse Redheart will take you to your room." As he finished the nurse tapped my shoulder. On that note I am barely taller than most ponies and I was in bed most of the time I was speaking to Celestia and Luna so I wonder where I stand in comparison.

"Follow me Mr.NT"

"Please don't call me mister just NT is fine."

"Alright but I have a question is NT short for something?"

"Yes it's my initals my full name is Ness Tucker."

"That's quite the name is it normal for humans because it would be strange for a pony." She replies with a smile.

"Tucker is kinda a common human name ,but Ness is not the only person who also has this name is a game character so most people would think I gave them a fake name." I say looking at the ceiling and crossing my arms behind my head.

"Well you don't have to worry abot that here. Alright here is your room I hope we do get to talk again Ness." She turns and walks down the hall.

"I am sure we will. Have a good day Redheart." I respond walking in to the room and see Pixi looking out the window."Good news they are going to discharge me today."

"That's good to hear ,but that brings up a diffrent problem you need to get a job and us a place to stay." She says staring me down.

"Don't worry I can find a nice tree to sleep in and you can proably stay with Fluttershy."

"Fine then what about work?"

"Easy I can probably do oddjobs around town."

"Alright we'll see." After that we sit there silent for around fifteen minutes before we hear nurse Redheart say I have visitors and I see Spike, Twilight, and Fluttershy everone seems confused because Redheart called me by my first name.

"Wait Twi I thought his name was NT but the nurse called him Ness."

"NT are my initials my full name is Ness Tucker."

"Oh, well I am Spike Twilights number one assistant nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you Spike hey what's in the basket?"

"I brought you some cookies I thought it would help make a good first impression." He say with an innocent smile.

"Well it did I actually haven't eaten yet so could you pass me one."

"Here you go." He hands me one when I bite into it I can't help but smile it's the best cookie I ever had. "What do you think?"

"This is the best cookie I have ever had. Thanks."

"Hi NT how are you feeling?" Asks Fluttershy.

"I alright Dr.Stable said I would be able to leave today."

"That's good to hear. Since you will be able to get out today should we tell them."

Pixi jumps on the bed and scowls, "Tell us what NT?"

"Well we found an injured timberwolf pup and gave it first aid after wards it followed us so I decided I would keep him and Fluttershy has been watching him since yesterday. Please don't be mad Pixi." At this point I'm shaking like a leaf.

"I'm not mad just surprised I was expecting you to say you two were dating."

"Pixi that is absurd Fluttershy and I just met."

"You're right I just jumped to a random conclusion."

"So Fluttershy how is he doing."

"He's doing much better but he wants to see you he wants to thank you for helping him."

"Happy to hear that I was worried."

Then Twilight asks, "What happend to him."

"Well while NT and I were walking back to my cottage we heard whimpering. When we went to check it we saw some timberwolves circling something small. NT then let out a roar and it scared them off. Once they were gone we saw it was a timberwolf pup ,it was badly injured, NT walked over to it when it saw him it tried to get up. At that point NT began talking to it and it seemed to understand then NT picked it up and we walked back to my cottage. Once there we gave it first aid and NT gave him some kind of berry that healed its wounds. After its wounds were healed it became really attached to NT."

"Then I told him I had to go and we could play another day and I came back to the hospital." I finished for Fluttershy." I felt bad I wish he could stay with me but that will have to wait til I have a place to stay."

At this point Twilight speaks up," Oh if you need a place to stay I have an extra room and you can bring the pup too."

"Are you sure Twilight?"

"Yes I am Spike and I would love having you."

"Yeah it will be nice to have another guy around the castle. Oh and because you have fingers we can do things like thumb wars and rock paper scissors." Spike adds grinning ear to ear. After that we continued with small talk and Spike and I playing rock paper scissors we ended up with more than half the games being ties this went on for about an hour and a half then Mayor Mare arrived.

"Hello you must be NT nice to meet you I am Mayor Mare I would like to formally welcome you to Ponyville."

"Thank you nice to meet you madame." As I say this I get up and shake her hoof.

"I imagine these last few days have been strange for you seeing as you woke up surrounded by q completely new society. So if there is any way I can help your adjustment just ask."

"Thank you for your concern but I'll be fine humans number one trait is adapting." I chuckle as. I finish my statement and Pixi adds.

"So is making foolish choices." At that everyone begins laughing.

"Well that's good to know just two other things one I need you to sign some papers to make you a citizen of Equestria."

"Ok and the other thing."

"I would like to have a press confrence so the town can meet you."

"A-a-alright then when?"

"It will be at noon will you be alright you seem nervous."

"Don't worry Ms.Mayor I'll be fine."

"Very well I will see you in two hours." With that said she left the room. I take a deep breath and fall back on the bed.

"NT are you sure you can handle this?" Questions Pixi.

"Tell me one reason I wouldn't be able to handle this."

At this statement Twilight replies with,"Ponyville is mostly mares."

"Oh well we will see for now I need to make sure everything in bag is alright."

"I was curious what was in that bag and why you carried that sword."

"I'll tell you about the sword some other time ,but I will tell you what's in the bag; first we have a change of clothes, next we have my laptop."

"What is that for." Twilight asks reaching for my laptop.

"You said you guys have computers right? Well this is a portable version."

"That's amazing were these common?"

"Yes most people had one now can I continue?"

"Go ahead."

"Don't worry Twilight you will get to use it. Ok phone charger, four cans of spray paint, snacks, Kai berries."

"Oh I wanted to ask you about those if you don't mind." Said Fluttershy from behind her mane

"It's no problem these are magic fruits my friend Kaikaina made they heal wounds but if you use them to often they have bad sideffects. Also sometimes they cause gas."

"That's amazing. Um do you think I could have a few just incase for my animal friends?"

"Actually I had the same idea I was also hoping you would be willing to grow some."

"I would be happy to thank you NT." At this point Fluttershy jumped on the bed and tackled me in a hug before I could hug back she retreated and hid behind Twilight,"EEEP, I'm so sorry NT I know you are a gynaphobe ,but I was just so happy and and..."

"Stop Fluttershy it's fine you can still try to hug me if you want."

"A-a-are you sure?"

"Yes it's fine when it's a girl I trust and that includes you and Twilight."

"Oh alright." At this point she walks up and wraps her fore legs around me.

"Twilight Spike would to like to join?" They both nod and join the hug. At this point I feel warmness in my chest. "I forgot what this felt like."

They all let go and Fluttershy asked "Forgot what what felt like?"

I smile and say "To be surrounded by friends it had just been me and Pixi for a little over a year, but that's the on to the future. Ok let us see what else is in here the key and my hovers. Wait sec a basketball Pixi did you pack this?"

"No I don't remeber packing one I only put in the clothes and costumes."

"What's a basketball?" Asks Spike.

"This is." I take it out and spin it on my finger.

"Oh we have pictures of humans with those they looked like they were playing some sort of game." Says Twilight in awe of the orange sphere.

"Yep basketball most played sport by the average person. I'll teach you the rules Spike mabye with Discords help we'll be able to play soon." The next Hour I teach Spike the ins and outs of basketball. At some point I end up talking about the NBA then Micheal Jordan then Space Jam.

"Wow that sounds awsome can we watch it?"

I look up and notice it's almost noon. "Sorry Spike, but that will have to wait until after the press confence it's almost noon."

For a second he looks sad then looks up at me and says, "Alright I expect to be able to watch it when we get home."

I smile and say "sure."

"Ness we are reasy to discharge you if you can follow me and fill out some paperwork." Says Nurse Redheart as she enters the room.

"Alright." I grab my stuff and follow her,"I'll meet you all at the lobby."

--- Fifteen Minutes later---

"There you are ready?" Greets Twilight.

"Yep I guess I have a town to meet." With that said we walk outside."So Twilght where do we go."

"We need to head to town hall."

"Alright since we have to walk Spike I'll show you how to handle the ball." I pull out the basketball and start dribbling. He watches me the whole way so I get fancy with it and the walk goes by quick and I see a stage and a crowd of ponies.

"Here we are, but I think we should go around." Says Twilight.

"Yeah. Wait can you three do me a favor."

"Sure." They all say at once.

"Please come on stage with me?"

"No problem." Replies Spike.

"I would be happy to." Answers Twilight.

"I-i-i'll try I'm not good with crowds." Responds Fluttershy.

"Thank you all. Fluttershy I understand if you aren't comfortable going up there neither am I." I tell her with a smile she smiles back and we walk around the crowd to the back of the stage and see Mayor Mare.

"Your timing is perfect I was just about to come get you."

"Lucky me alright let's go."

With that said she leads me to the stage."I will get them ready." She procedes to step from behind the curtain."Hello everypony I'm sure your all curious why you are all here. Well the reason is somepony very special has arrived in Ponyville say hello to the first human ponykind has ever seen NT." My entrance is met with many suprised gasps and a few comments.

"Wow a human."

"Is it male or female."

"What's with its mane?"

"What happened to it?"

"Alright everypony please calm down so he can speak." Shouts Mayor Mare.

I step up to the podium and start, "Hello my name is Ness Tucker NT for short and this is my partner Pixi," as I say her name she jumps on my shoulder and waves to the crowd,"I really don't know what to say two days ago we woke up in the Everfree Forest and we don't know why, but we're alright now so we're looking foreward to living in ponyville. I'm sure many of you have questions so I'll answer a few know just raise a hoof. Ok the rainbow maned pegasus."

"Names Rainbow Dash and I wanted to know what happened to your arm and eye?"

"Well when Pixi and I were walking through Everfree I ended up fighting a manticore."

"How did you beat it are humans that strong or did you use magic."

"Most humans can't use magic and no human is strong enough do something like that without some crazy training all I did was fight enough for it to not think I was worth eating. Um next the green unicorn."

"I'm Lyra Heartstrings are you a mare or a stallion also which were there more of?"

"Well I'm a guy and there were about equal numbers of both genders. Most societies were patriarchies historicly but gender equality was becoming more and more common. Next the white unicorn with the indigo mane."

"The name is Rarity darling and I was curious do humans always wear clothes?"

"Yes we do the main reason is humans don't have fur so we need clothes to protect our skin also umm... humans don't have sheaths. Umm... anyone else the blue maned unicorn in the shades."

"Vinyl Scratch I was wondering if you could show us some human music."

"Uhh if I had some speakers I could preform for you all."

"Give me a few minutes." Once I nodded Vinyl took off.

"Ok while we wait for her anyones else? Alright the pink earth pony."

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie I was just curious what's your favorite food?"

"That's easy pineapple olive and mushroom pizza."

"That's a weird combo."

"I know that's what I told my friend Kai she's the one who came up with it. Any other questions ah the orange filly in front."

"Name's Scootaloo do humans get cutie marks?"

"No we don't we just have to guess what our special talents are. Next oh Fluttershy what's your question?"

"I was curious did you have a special somepony back in your time?"

"No I didn't I'm actually an orphan so the closest thing I've had was my friend Kaikaina and Pixi Kai would tell me if I didn't get a girlfriend she would put an add in the paper." All the ponies started to laugh. At that moment Vinyl returned with her stuff.

"Here you go. So show us what you got." She brings it on stage and sets it up then I plug a cord in to my phone and grab a mic.

"So any specific type you want to hear?"

"How about one of your favorites."

"Alright Pixi help me out I'm going to start with Ghost."

"Mystery Skulls?"

I press play on the audio and start to sing while Pixi uses magic to make ghost appear around me. " Cause

the world might do me in it's alright cause I'm with friends..." as I get to the second chorus many ponies sing with me. Once I finsh I am greeted by applause. "Would you guys like to hear another?"

"Do have any classical?" Shouts a mare.

"Don't listen to her how about one you can dance to or just a popular song."

"Hmm I don't have any classical but I think you might like this and Vinyl this was one of the most popular songs ever Pixi get ready smooth Criminal 2Cellos."

All the ponies seem too enjoy the song so I decide to start dancing they all seem enamored as I move like the King of pop himself especialy once I do the lean. The song comes to an end and they all scream the same thing.

"One more one more."

"Alright one more Pixi you pick."

"Why don't you do Dirty Talk?"

"I like the sound of that do it."

"A-a-are you sure it's a little sexual."

"Don't worry it'll be fine."

I take off my longsleeve and grab my vest out of my bag. When I look up I see all eyes are on my chest and many faces are bright red including Vinyl's. "I'm guessing you all like what you see?" I joke feeling a bit nervous.

"Can somepony tell me how ta get some a that?" I hear from the crowd followed by some wolf whistles.

"Umm let's get this started Pixi you ready?"

"Your good to go."

"Get jazzy on it"

Once I get to 2Chains' part I do a handstand and hold it while one of Pixi's illusions handles the part and at the end of it I flip and finish out the song." Alright no more songs but I will take one more question ok you the unicorn with the camera."

"Headline of the Canterlot Times what do plan on doing here in Ponyville?"

"Well for now I'm staying with Twilight Sparkle and I'm looking for work alright I need to go." Once I said that I walk over to Twilight and asked, "Can we head home I need to sit down. She nods and her, Spike, Fluttershy, and I head to the castle. The walk is short and quiet and I notice both Twilight and Fluttershy stealing looks at my chest then Twilight speaks up.

"Tomorrow you should go by Rarity's she can make you some clothes."

"Really awesome I was worried I only have enough clothes for three days."

"Four if you count your Halloween costume." Says Pixi.

"What's halloween?" Asks Spike I smile and explain the holiday and tell him about ,The Nightmare Before Christmas ,and before he asked I explained Christmas then he responded with, "Oh! Those are just like Nightmare Night and Hearth's Warming they're even on the same days hey can I see your costume when we get back."

"Sure also I just realized this what day is it?"

"Well it's friday October 24."

"Ok." We walk for another few minutes then we reach Twilight's castle. "Wow." I'm amazed at the sight of it.

"Here we are." We walk inside and Twilight gives me a tour it takes bout 20 minutes. "And this is your room."

"Thank you so much Twilight for letting me stay here."

"Its no problem really." I turn and hug Twilight which she reciprocates.

"I really got lucky that Pixi found you and Fluttershy if she hadn't who knows where I'd be."

"I-I-I'm happy that I met you too." Fluttershy says as she joins the hug.

We release each other and I turn to Spike and ask, "Ready to watch some movies?" He smiles and nods enthusiasticaly. "Would you two like to join us?"
They both nod I set up my laptop and turn on the first movie. We watch both movies by the time we finish it is late. "Oh man it's late sorry for keeping you all up so late and Fluttershy I know you have to get home."

"Don't worry Fluttershy you can spend the night here." Twilight tells her.

"Thank you Twilight good night." Replies Fluttershy. All three of them say their goodnights and leave the room. Once they have left I strip down and hop in bed. Today was a good day I think as I drift off to sleep.

--- Third Person POV NT's room---

Suddenly at the center of room shadows collect and form a large unicorn mare, "Ahh it is so nice to see you again my love soon I'll have you at my side, but you aren't ready just yet. First you'll have to relive some of your past." As the strange mare speaks a dark red aura moves from her horn into NT's head. "Don't worry you only have to do it tomorrow." She moves in closer and removes the blanket from his body and sees he is only in his underwear and bites her hoof. "You aren't making this easy baby." She licks from his chin up to his ear and kisses him. "I wish I could mark you so no other mare gets any ideas, but I have to stay hidden. One last thing use the key." At those words once again her horn glows and the light goes into NT. "Goodbye my love I will see you again in a week."


Author's Note

I started this the minute the story was approved I was so happy I had to write a new chapter imedately. It took me longer than it should have mainly because I stopped to check the comments on the earlier chapters more than I would like to admit I was just way too happy. I ment for this to be done before christmas.

Next Chapter
