//-------------------------------------------------------// All this because of a sword -by n3sstor- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Waking up //-------------------------------------------------------// Waking up "ugh Pixi get off my face I wanna sleep" I groan as i pull the small fox off my face. "It's morning and you are sleeping in a forest get up now or you may end up in an unpleasant situation" she snidely retorts. What you never seen a talking fox well I'm not surprised she's magic and you are probably from Earth you magic dose exist it's just that it is a well kept secret it does not exist naturally any more and those who use it go through extreme means to get it. The reason it is no longer naturally occurring is right next to me no not Pixi this katana. Apparently some god or goddess sealed all the magic in the world in the sword and hid it ,but at some point someone reopened it but apparently it closed it immediately no one knows why, but that allowed the magic in the world today. That was several thousand years ago and since then the sword had stayed hidden until I stole it. I know if you don't believe me I sound crazy if you do I sound like a greedy fool who wants power, but no i am the victim what you want to know why ok I'll tell you later but for know let's get back to the present ". Alright Pixi just let me do my routine" I say as i begin felling around my body checking my ears ,teeth ,and everything else then I check the sword to make sure it still is sealed. "Why do you insist on doing that you look crazy and like some sort of pervert with your hands down sliding your body." she scoffs with a red face. "Why does it bother you I just need to check if there are any more changes" I snap.Ever since i found this blade things got stranger at least ,I think they did."Pixi! do you notice anything wrong here?" "No what do you mean" I just came to a realization we should have immediately. "When did we get to a forest? " Her eyes widen as she processes what i said "Ok let's retrace our steps" I say in a panic "We were walking on the outskirts of some town and then?" Pixi shouts "The sword began to glow and wrapped us in a light." "Danmit!" i scream " Why me what did i do to deserve this ok so I'll check my phone then we will know where we are and how long we were out" i take out my phone and turn it on ,but this thing is the only link to my past."Alright today is ..." I start worry as my phone tells me it can not find any data on the date or my location. Terrified I turn to Pixi and ask what is going on and she closes her eyes as she uses her powers her eyes pop open and tells me," I want you to stay calm we have traveled far into the future." at that moment I decide we should start looking for someone to help us during this time as I begin walking Pixi takes her place on my shoulder. She smirks and says "You're taking this well" I reply with"No I really want to scream but I feel panic can wait til after we find some place to stay." We begin walking and i wonder how this happened ,well I know how what I want to know why the sword sent us to the future I didn't even know it did anything while sheathed. While we were walking Pixi tells me that this should not be possible and that she will fix this ,but i tell her not to worry. After some time talking I realized she thought this was some how her fault, but I told her I didn't care and what happens happens and this happened so we should live with it and say "I would be worried if you weren't with me" she smiles and nuzzles in to my cheek. After a while we noticed that thing seemed off like some thing was in the air we then wrote it off as paranoia from our panic from earlier. After about two hours we felt as if we were being watched as we continued I told Pixi to scout ahead since she could move much faster she complied then hopped in to a near by tree and took off at breakneck speeds. Once i believed she was out of earshot I turned to confront what ever was stalking us . "What ever you are come out now " as i say the last word comes out the color drains from my face as i stare down a manticore of all things for a second something about it seems familiar but that is pushed to the back of my mind as it lashes out with its tail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0weNpM3cO8&index=7&list=PLgQt67NlnbatfpadRpSAhLZKnUK0VeRpQ) I barely avoid it getting a gash across my left arm I retaliate by taking the sword and bashing its head in an attempt for me to get a few seconds to come up with a plan. AS it reeled back from the hit he caught me with a paw across the face giving me a two gashes on the left side one below my eye and one just below my eye brow causing me to lose sight in my eye for now. Deciding not to worry about my loss of sight for now and try to topple the beast. In a rush I quickly plant my foot and deliver a mammoth punch to its gut and roll away to avoid being crushed by it ,but unfortunately it is able to launch me in the direction Pixie took off in unsteadily I stand back up and see that the manticore is coughing and seems to be staggered. Seeing this I take my hands and cup them then let out the greatest roar I could which seemed to work as the manticore retreated. My victory was short lived as I began hacking up blood and felt my self passing out. "NT!" I feel some strength return as i hear Pixi's voice but I know in a few seconds I will be out cold"Good news I found some locals they can help but you need to know..." the rest I can get when i wake up. "Night Pixi" -------THIRD PERSON POV------- "Night Pixi" that is all Pixi hears before she sees NT collapse onto the dirt in front of her. "Oh dear we aren't too late are we" comes a soft voice from behind the small fox. "No don't worry he just passed out which is probably for the best he will need all his strength to handle this in formation. Miss Sparkle would you be so kind as to lift this nitwit ,but be wary I have no idea how your magic may affect him." "Alright I'll see what I can do" say a second voice with a hint of uncertainty as a purple aura engulf NT's body. "alright quickly to the hospital" Pixi commands "B-but what can they do he's the case of a human's body that has ever been found in Equestria all we have found are book and ruins and book are still being translated." "Miss Sparkle do not worry I will assist the doctors in treating his wounds ,but for now we should hurry. On another note I am sorry for wasting your time Miss Fluttershy." "Oh it's no problem I do hope your friend will be alright" Pixi nods and begins walking back towards town ,but stops and says "Miss Sparkle you may want to have the princesses here when he wakes up trust me" Twilight nods and follows with Fluttershy and the unconscious human in tow. //-------------------------------------------------------// Time to talk //-------------------------------------------------------// Time to talk --- NT'S POV--- "You moron I was worried sick what was with that note? Do you realize how that looks" Pixi screams as I sit back down on the bed. " Do you ever think? Where did you go?" "Sorry for making you worry Pixi, I left to go get our stuff I noticed that my bag and the sword were not here and I thought it best to get it now." I decide to take a look at my note and realize what she means, "Wow I see what you mean what I meant was that I do this now so no ponies try to go with me. That said Fluttershy ended up going with me anyway. She grabbed my scarf and refused to let go until I concieded. We talked the whole way there and back without incident and told me how worried she was that the manticore had crippled me. When we made it back to her cottage I asked her not to say anything about seeing me and if I could help take care of the animals she said yes to both but told me she wouldn't lie to anyone though and I said I didn't expect her to then we said our goodbyes and I came back." "You are so irrisponsible what if another manticore or something worse attacked or a pony thought you were a monster?" Pixi screams as she jumps on to the bed. "Wait." Twilight says " You went to Everfree Forest and back and nopony saw you? How?" "Easy I went around Ponyville." " Impressive." "Thank you princess Luna" "Don't encourage him please. Now I believe we have matters to disscus." Once Pixi said that I decided to start being seirous. "You're right Pixi I guess I should give you all a history on humans?" They all nod in agreement so I give them a crash course on human history starting with anceint Rome and ending with America as I remember it. Everyone seems to be intrested in diffrent aspects of it Luna seems to take intrest in the wars, Twilight is intrested in technology, and Celestia keeps asking questions about the social and political structure about each society. When I spoke about my time Twilight immedatily asked about the show when I explained it to the princesses they were shocked and Luna was exstatic to learn how popular she was and Celestia asked me to keep quiet ,but I conviced her that it was a pony's right to know, but only if they asked. Once I finished Twilight starts to ask about human magic and I explain that humans aren't meant to have magic, but some found a way to harness it from certain points on earth. I then tell her that most humans did not know magic existed. Celestia asked if there were any other sentient species when I told her no she asked how did I feel about interspecies relationships everyone went red faced and I responded say I was flattered ,but not looking for anyone at that point Celestia's face went bright red and Luna fell over laughing. Once she regained her composure Celestia clarified what she ment. After all of that Celestia said that she and Luna needed to go and would like to speak to me more in the future and teleported away. Once they were gone Twilight spoke up," Wow! Thank you NT you have single handedly advanced human study by mabye decades ,although all this information makes me curious why do you know all this are you some kind of schoolar?" "No Twilight I am not a schoolar that is just in human textbooks and few others I memorized it because I got bored and wanted to do something produtive so I learned most of human history." "Either way that is still impressive but why did you tell us about all of it you could of hid some of the bad like WWII right?" "No I could not have it would have been wrong humans did alot of bad things, but they did good to I will let someone else make their verdict on wether they were good or bad I will just show the evidence." " That is quite the view point for someone so young." Came a voice from nowhere."Ah! Finaly we can speak I has been a while since I have seen you or any other humans for that matter." Discord says as he appears in my face. "Wait Discord you've seen humans and have met me before?" I say completly shocked. He smiles and steps back,"Do you rember the old man who told you what would happen if you opened that sword ,wait here it is again. Young man be aware you will one day open that sword and it will be a mind blowing shock. One thing I foregot you will open it to save a pony." "So I am ready to pass out wait you've been around that long." "No I haven't I have been time travling no more questions from you I just needed to make sure that you were alive. Something big is coming and you will be central we will talk a again soon. Nice to see you Twilight. Also if you are curious how I travled back ask yourself the question that must not be asked." At that my eyes widend and I knew who I need to find."Alright Discord no more questions. I can't wait to meet your compainion and I know you have to be involved in my past and I expect you to tell me especially since you know something about the sword." "In due time young one well I will be off." And with that he teleported away in a puff of pink smoke. "Well I think that was enough excitement for today I will go home you should get some sleep it's late. Tomorrow Mayor Mare is coming to talk to you then wants to hold a press confrence to introduce you to the town if you are up to it." "Sure Twilight see you tomorrow good nite." With that said Twilight leaves the room. --- unknown Pov--- "Ah yes the last piece is ready. Send a chimera to fetch him alive!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Meet the town //-------------------------------------------------------// Meet the town --- 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 https://img.youtube.com/vi/YlEb3L1PIco/mqdefault.jpg 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." https://img.youtube.com/vi/Mx0xCI1jaUM/mqdefault.jpg 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" https://img.youtube.com/vi/RbtPXFlZlHg/mqdefault.jpg 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. //-------------------------------------------------------// The past and the present //-------------------------------------------------------// The past and the present "Hey NT it's time to get up Twi's friends are coming over to meet you." I hear Spike yell as he walks into my room I set up and he says. "Wow looks like you were drooling a lot well get cleaned up and come down for breakfeast." "Ugh you are right but I never drool whatever alright I'll be down after I put on some pants." I wipe my face grab my shorts and head to the bathroom, and realize my arm and eye are both back to normal and I let out a cheer. I start to take a shower and feel a headache it passes. After about ten minutes I walk to the kitchen where I see Twilight and Spike. "Where's Fluttershy?" "She had to run home she said she'll be back when the others come by. Umm I thought you were a stallion?" Responds Twilight "What do you mean? I am a guy." "But you have nipples like a mare." "All humans have nipples they form before the gender of the baby is decided they're vestigial and and do nothing on males." "Oh intresting so they serve no purpose on you?" "That's right." After that I sit down and start eating. "These are the best pancakes I have ever eaten." "Really you mean it." "Yea thanks Spike." "Whew I was worried that you woulden't be able to eat it because I foregot to ask what humans can eat." Sighs Twilight. "Oh humans are omnivores." For the next hour Twilight and I talk about my diet and she says she could get me some meat but I tell her I'll be fine without it. I explain I don't want to make ponies uncomfortable and she tells me fish is fine. While we are talking I get another headache and fallout my chair. "Oh my goodness NT are you ok." "I'm fine just a bad headache." I hold up my left hand and wave her off. "Wait a sec when did your arm heal and how they said it would be a few days." "I don't know what happened but my arm and eye are better whoops the patch is still on." I pull it off and toss it in the trash. "Well that's good, though I wish we knew why. Oh the girls will be here soon I better get ready." Twilight rushes out of the room I decide to go back to my room for now. "Morning did you sleep well?" Pixi yawns a greeting as I enter the room. "Kinda but something feels off and I've been having headaches. On a diffrent note I gonna try my key." "You sure that's a good idea we've been avoiding that for reason." "Yeah and those reason are now far in the past." "Fine give me a few minutes." "Ok." --- Twilight's POV --- "Spike can you get some snacks out the girls will be here soon to meet NT." "Sure thing Twi." "Thanks." I start to worry about NT his headaches and recovery happened to suddenly to be coincidence, and nopony used healing magic on him at the hospital. Mabye he'll let me run some test after he meets the others? "Ahhhhhhh!" A scream rings out from the hall that sounds like NT. I rush to his room and see him on the ground and a door that wasn't there before. I also see a cut out of some sort of creature. Suddenly NT speaks up "What the duce?" He gets up and pushes the cutout away and enters the room. "NT are you ok what is this place?" "I'm fine this is my old room where I use to live." "How are we here?" "This." He holds up a blue key. "The room is enchanted so that where ever I use the key it will open up here. Give me a sec I'll check where we are." He runs to another door and opens it and see a wall with a note. "Huh? Twilght feel free to look around while I read this." He sits down on the bed foucsing on the note. "Ok." I look around the room and see it's pretty bare there is just his bed a tv and what look like some game systems. I keep looking and notice an envolope with my name on it and it says: To: Twilight Sparkle. Do Not show this to NT. I decide to take this back to my room. "NT I'll come and get you when my friends arrive." "Alright. Twilight can I put some of this in my room in the castle?" "Sure." He thanks me and I head to my room to read this letter. Once in my room I lock the door and start reading: Hello Twilight my name is Kaikaina you may have heard about me from NT I don't know when you'll find this letter heck we may have already met. I don't know if NT will go back to his room, but I do know he will meet you. So I ask you as his friend stay by his side in the coming days he will need all the friends he can get. NT is in danger there is a mare after him she is insane and won't stop till she has him she is the reason he is in your time period if NT has started having headaches her plan is in motion and you need to watch NT make sure he is never alone feel free to show this letter to your friends. Also if you found this when I hope you would we will meet in one weeks time. Also try to find NT a marefriend or date him yourself check out the pictures included in the envolope. Signed, Kaikaina. P.S. Keep all this from NT. I wasn't expecting anything like this for now I won't tell NT, but I will tell Fluttershy and mabye the others. I decide to look at the photos she mentioned... Oh my Celestia! Why would she give me these. The pictures were of NT naked. Embarrassed I quickly hide the photos while doing so I hear the doorbell happy to put this behind me I rush to the door and call out to NT "There here." --- NT's POV --- "Alright be right there." I put down the last of my stuff from my old room and shut the door and run towards the front door. I arrive right when Twilight opens the door. She greets her friends, but I notice Fluttershy is not with them , "Where's Fluttershy?" "Don't worry darling she told us she would be running late because she had something for you." "Hmm. I wonder what that could be. Anyway nice to meet all of you I'm NT." I wave and smile. "Introductions can wait till we all sit down let's go to the living room Spike set out some snacks." Just as Twilight turns to lead us to another room there's another knock at the door it opens to reveal Fluttershy and the timberwolf pup we saved who rushes me and knocks me down and starts licking my face. "Alright I get it your happy to see me boy calm down." I barely choke out while laughing. I get him to calm down by scrating behind his ears the wood is soft it's strange. "There we go thanks for bringing him Fluttershy." "It's no problem though everypony was a little scared of him." After that we all walk in to Twilight's living room and sit down Fluttershy and Twilight sit on both my sides and the pup hops in my lap. "So I think some proper introductions are in order." Says Twilight. "Alright I'll start hello darling my name is Rarity lovely to meet you." "Nice to meet you too miss Rarity if I rember right you asked why I wore clothes." "Yes I did and now I'm curious about something else why aren't you wearing a shirt is it possible you and Twilight?" "No it's nothing like that. When I woke up all my shirts were gone." "Well that's to bad come by my boutique and I will whip you up a whole new wardrobe." "That would be great but I have no way to pay you." "Don't worry about it darling consider it a gift from me to you." "Thank you."as I say this another headache rolls in. "Ahrg." "Sugarcube you alright?" "Yes I am miss...?" "Applejack. are ya sure yur gonna be alright." "I'll be fine. Your voice is familar did you ask a question yesterday?" Her face turns bright red my question. "No I didn't but on another note yesterday ya said ya were looking for a job come by Sweet Apple Acres on Monday at seven and I'll put ya ta work." "Sure I'll be there thank you." I can't help but smile because all the ponies I've met so far are so nice. "Oh I can't wait anymore! Hi I'm Pinkie Pie your new bestest friend." Pinkie jumps straight into my face which cause me to scream and rush into the nearest corner. This launches Pinkie and the pup on to the ground. "Oof." "What the hay is wrong with you all she did was say hi and you flip out." "Dash stop." Twilight stands up and walks over to me and rubs a hoof up and down my back and I let go a breath I didn't know I was holding. I can feel my heart going a mile a minute and the spot Pinkie touched has a familar feeling I start focusing on that spot until, "NT NT are you ok?", the feeling ebbs away and I respond. "I-I-i think so." I look around and see they're all looking at me except Fluttershy and the pup who both walked over to me. "Can somepony tell me what just happened?" Shouts Rainbow Dash scowling at me. "One second he's fine next he screams and hides in the corner and you two seem to know why spill." I sit there I want to explain but I'm terrified. I can feel it every part of my body wants me to run and, but at the same time every fiber of my being is telling me to trust Twilight and Fluttershy that they will keep me safe. I get ready to run until Twilight says, "Dash calm down your making it worse. What's going on is NT is a gynaphobe. Oh Pixi said this might happen I don't know how long he'll be she said this has only happened once. You all might as well go home..." "I'm f-f-f-fine now Pinkie just caught me off gaurd nice to meet you Pinkie. Sorry Yoh." "Who's Yoh." They all say at the same time. "That is the name I choose for this little guy. Do you like boy?" He barks happily. "Then it's offical your name is Yoh." "Are you sure you will be alright?" "I will Twilight." "NT I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you and Twilight even told me that you had trouble with mares and that I should be careful, but I was so excited to make a new friend and I ended up scaring you I understand if you don't want to be my friend." Pinkie says all of this very quickly and as she speaks her mane deflates and she looks down at the floor in front of her. I stand up walk over to Pinkie and move so she can see my face. With a stern expression I raise a finger to Pinkie's nose and when I touch itI shout "Boop!" I smile while they all look at me confused. "Pinkie I would be happy to your friend. I understand that you wern't trying to scare me. So Pinkie would you still like to be my friend?" She dives in to my chest yelling "Yes yes yes ye. Oh! No. Sorry I did it again." Before she could let go I wrap her in a hug of my own. "Huh you aren't gonna freak out." "No I'm fine the reason I freaked out was you caught me off gaurd." "Then why did you start to space out like that for a moment you looked like you saw a ghost." "That was because one of my memories started to comeback." "NT are you sure of that?!" Everyone turns to look at Pixi. "Yeah I am. I feel like it may be from quite sometime ago." "But you haven't passed out." Before I could respond Applejack interjects with, "What are the two of y'all talking about?" "Oh! Well I have no memories from before two years ago. Eversince I woke up I had been trying to get them back I recovered two before, but shortly after that I passed out. Both times I felt a strange feeling after interacting with someone." "Could you tell us what you remebered?" Asks Twilight she looks worried like shes scared that she oversteped somekind of line. "Sure Twilight I don't mind but sorry these are quite vague like something is blocking them. The first one was me with two friends they were trying to pick up girls and I was there for moral support I think they got dates all I know they were happy and so was I the last part of it was one girl approached me and the memory ends." I take a deep breath and look around the room. "So how did you come across that memory?" Asked Fluttershy "Well I had been trying to comfort to of my friends after they got dumped something seemed familar, and there was a strange feeling at the back of my mind then the memory returned and I blacked out." "What was the next memory darling?" Asked Rarity. "The next one I could do with out. I think it takes place a year after the previous one. I was standing in front of the girl from the end of the last memory, I think we had started dating, she seemed to be depressed so I went to comfort her and that's when things got bad. I wrapped her in a hug then suddenly a strange smile spread across her face, just thinking about it scares me, she then returned the hug at first it was fine, but then she started squeezing to the point it hurt and began laughing. Even after she let me go she kept on laughing I asked her what was going on she told me that my friends wanted me to brake up with her she then asked if I knew about it I told her I had a fight with them over it. Now I regret not listening to them, even though I can't remember them, but what happened next proved them right. Suddenly she grabed me by the collar and spoke in a low tone 'That's right baby you won't leave me you belong to me.' I began to get nervous I ask what she meant she told me 'I mean that you won't leave my side you won't be like those bastards who abandoned me and I know just how.' When I asked how she threw me into the wall and said, 'Fear I will make to afraid to defy me. I'm sorry it has to be this way I just can't lose you.' The look on her face is the only other thing I can remember clearly she was smiling, but her eyes conveyed something else. The next ten minutes was her attacking me I ended up almost passing out, but suddenly I hear three voices scream stop and I see the girl get tackled by another girl and before I could react two others wraped me up in a hug and began speaking 'Ness! Thank goodness we'll get you out of here while Aria takes care of her.' I asked why they helped me even though I said so many mean things to them and the other one holding me said, 'Because we're friends silly as long as the four of us have been together there is no way that temper tantrum would make us leave your side.' I tightend my hold on them then they helped me get up we started walking and the memory ends." I look around the room and see everone with looks of shock on their faces. "Would you like me to tell you how I recoverd that one." Fluttershy was the first to speak, "Are you sure you want to talk about it?" "Yea if that was the memory the trigger can't be to fun for you to remember either." Shouts Rainbow. I just smile, "Actually the trigger was just I bumped into some woman even after I apologized she starter laying into me first about me being clumsy, then she said I pissed her off by looking like her ex and she tried to hit me. At that point I was to scared to move, but my friends came to my rescue and got me out of there, but even with all of that I'm happy about that incident." "Why the hay would you be happy about any of that both in the memory and that trigger you were in danger." "Because Rainbow in both the memory and the trigger I knew in the end I had friends that wouldn't hesitate to help me. Also that memory gave me the greatest clue to my past the girl named Aria I was able to recall something about her she had purple hair which for humans was uncommon." "Did you ever find her darling?" Ask Rarity. "No I didn't." "That's to bad." "I'm not worried about it I may not have much of a past but I can make a great future." "Wow that was cheesy." "I know but it was the first thing that came to mind." That seemed to lighten up the mood as they all started giggling. "That aside NT tell me about this new memory." Said Pixi she seemed worried about what it could be. "Don't worry Pixi I'm sure this memory won't be as bad." , I smile at Pixi which she returns. "I hope your right." She looks like she's scared of what it might be. I close my eyes and focus, "This is an old one I think I'm only about four mabye five years old. I'm on the ground crying some other chilldren were picking on me they said no one will want a boy with weird eyes and hair. Then suddenly someone was in front of me I was surprised and screamed then she spoke, 'Oh no. I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you its just you look like you need a friend. Wait let me start again I'm Sonata what's your name.' I introduced my self then she spoke again. 'So Ness let me guess they picked on you because your hair is two diffrent colors.' I nodded, 'Don't worry they did that to me and my sisters until Aria started beating them up.' I started laughing at that and joined me, 'I know it is pretty funny. So Ness would you like to be friends.' At that point I felt my heart jump and I said yes. 'Awesome Ness your my first friend other than my sisters would you like to meet them?' I nod and she takes me to meet them at this point I can see them clearly." "NT really you can see them that's wonderfull this is the first time you can clearly see someone from your past." Shouts Pixi as she hops around the room. "I know its amazing, but let me finish. Alright so she takes me to her sisters and introduces us, 'Ness these are my sisters Aria and Adagio girls this is Ness the others were picking on him just like they use to do to us so I thought I should be his friend.' One of her sisters speaks up, 'Are you sure you want to be friends with us if you do they will probably keep picking on you.' I tell her that I don't care I still want to be friends I'm tired of being alone. Once I finished both of her sisters got and walked over to me and hugged me and said, 'Thank you no one has even tried to be our friends we couldn't be happier.' At that point I return the hug and start to cry. Then Sonata spoke up 'To make this offical we should all make one promise to each other.' We all agree I was the first to make my promise it was; I swear no matter what happens I will always be friends with the three of you even if the world was to turn against me. Next was Sonata, 'I got mine I promise to always keep everyones mood up.' She said that while dancing like someone poured ice down her shirt we all started laughing. Then was Adagio, 'I promise to be there to be a big sister to all of you that also means you Ness.' At that point I realized Adagio was the tallest out of the three of them. Last was Aria, 'Alright I got mine I promise to protect all of you no matter who it is I won't let them mess with any of you.' We all laughed then Sonata spoke up, 'All we need to do is make this something we won't forget.' 'How do you supose we do that?' 'We seal it with a kiss.' At that point we all asked where she got that idea and she told us, 'I read that a person never forgets their first kiss so we wouldn't forget these promises if they're connected to our first kisses.' Aria and Adagio agreed and I didn't know what to say after that they decided to draw straws I was confused why, then they told me that it was to decide the order we kissed. It went Aria, Adagio, then Sonata and that's where the memory ends." "Wow that was intresting." Twilight seemed not to know what to say. "Twilight dear that was more than intresting that was enchanting although I'm curious why did those other foals pick on you?" "Yeah I was wondering that to you said it had to do with your eyes and hair, but yours seems to look like alot of other humans." Asked Twilight. "Well actually my hair is dyed the last quarter of my hair is cyan which most people didn't think was natrual and people would call me a freak when I proved it, and my eyes change color with my mood, but if I concentrate they don't change. My guess is when the others found out about it they decided to single me out." "That's terrible gosh that's like how that Diamond Tiara used to be." Responded Applejack. "I know bullies suck but if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have this memory. So I think itssss aaaa good......." Suddenly everything went black. Twilight First Person NT suddenly started to fall over, but Pinkie was able to catch him before he the ground. Everypony seemed confused I was to so I decided to ask Pixi, "Is this what you were talking about?" Pixi looked at me and responded, "Yes this is exactly what I expected we should probably put him in his bed he'll be out for at least five hours. Also avoid using magic on him when he's like this it could have some pretty nasty side effects. Ms. Pie do you think you carry him." "No problemo." With that said Pinkie and Pixi leave the room. I start debating telling the girls about the letter. "So girls what do you think of him?" "Well he seems to be an intresting fellow though I worry how he will handle being around so many mares if he stays in Ponyville. Overall I'm quite happy to have made his aquaintence." Responded Rarity. "He seems to be a good guy I think he'll get along fine so long as somepony helps em along." Stated Applejack. "I think he's kinda weird, but mabye its just a human thing, but he seems alright." Came from from Rainbow. "What about you two you're the ones who met him first." Fluttershy responded first,"I think he's pretty nice he also seems to be good with animals except chickens for some reason." Everypony turned to me, "He's quite intresting and I think I could learn a lot from him about the world before magic..." "Alright egghead we got it but why did you ask us about that?" Interupted Dash. "I will tell you when Pinkie comes back." "What will you tell us when I come back?" "Pinkie did Pixi come back with you?" "Yes I did Spike said he would keep an eye on NT while he's out. I wanted to speak with you all." "Alright, but first all of you come with to my room." I led everypony to my room and shut the door behind us. "Girls what we talk about in this room stays between us." They all nod in agreement, "Alright earlier today I found this letter in a room that NT opened with a magic key." I take the letter and pass it to Rarity she reads it and passes it on. Once Pixi see it it seems to shock her."Pixi what is it can you tell me something about who wrote it?" "Yes I can this letter is real. The one who wrote it is NT's closest friend she is a powerful magic user she can also see the future it makes sense she may have seen this. Unfortunantely I don't know anything else but this letter is real and NT is in danger no one tells him. I don't expect any of you to help but don't anwser any questions about him if someone you don't know asks about him don't say anything they may be connected." "Sugarcube you don't have to worry we won't do anything like that." "Darling why would you think we would not help knowing our new friend is in danger." "Yeah that is really messed up. I don't if back in your time ponies don't help each other but we do now." "I also want to help if that's ok." "I don't understand why but thank you I feel NT will need all the help you can get." "Now that that's settled Twilight are you also gonna show us the pictures?" Asked Rainbow. The question threw me off so I came up with an excuse, "No you don't want to see those pictures." I start backing up. "Twi why are ya so paniced is there something we should know?" Asked at this point I bump in to my desk and the pictures come out of my hiding place and land on the floor. AJ sees them and picks them up before I could react,"Are these those pictures what's the big... oh mah stars." Her face turns the same shade as her brother. "What is it darling?" "Come on AJ let me see." "Oh oh me too." "I would like to see if that's ok." I'm in shock and don't know what to do all I do know is things are going to be awkward when NT wakes up. Inside NT's dream First person Where are they where are they that's all that I can think as I run around. Then I hear them again, "You betrayed us broke your promise now you must face the punishment." For hours I've been running and hearing that to afraid to see what's behind me sometimes I get a chance to rest then I hear them again and I'm off again. I don't know what's going on I'm in some kind of maze of rooms. I keep finding doors that say in, I'm now under the idea that the out door is the escape from this place. The next hour is spent trying to throw off my pursuers in anyway I can opening other doors and knocking things over. Suddenly I see it the out door I rush to it open then the worst thing happened I was caught,"Found you." Then everything went dark. 2 hours later I woke up feeling like I was being carried I rember what happend and start to struggle,"I don't know where you came from but get out of my head there's nothing in here." "You still haven't realized it yet have you. look where we are." I take a moment and realize where I am as I see a glowing wall. "Good you noticed here we are the one point you fear the divide the point where you can't access. How does it feel to see a manifestation of your amnesia?" "What are you." "Not sure what I am sure of is that I'm going to shove you through it and then I return to what ever I was before." The being carries me whistling a familiar tune then speaks again, " I can say one thing about you you're smart with the way you avoided me for so long, but you couldn't win I'm not not just a memory I'm also something someone else let loose and that's all I know. Just thought I should tell ya now that we're here." I stay silent as I'm carried torwards the divide. Suddenly they shift me to where they're holding me by the back of my collar and edges me closer I clench my eyes shut and prepare for the pain of touching the wall, but it never comes. I open one eye to see what's going on. The being seems to be watching something through the wall. "What is that do you see it?" "Don't you know I can't see or go through this thing I can't even touch it with out it hurting." Out of nowhere I here two familar voices yelling, "Leeeroyyyyyy Jeeeeeeennnnnnkinnnnssss." The being starts to panic then everything is a blur as I'm tossed in the air only to land in a pair of dark blue arms then I see that its Luna holding me, "Are you unharmed?" "Luna is that really you?" "Yes I was going to try to speak with you in the dreamscape, but when I arrived something seemed strange and now I know what it was. " "You're lucky I found her or we might have ended up a vegetable." Comes another voice very much like my own. The owner is my past self he's able to pass through the divide I don't know if this makes me crazy but most of my time asleep speaking with him. "Also you two will need to talk she now knows everything." Luna shifts uncomfortably then sets me down in front of past me. "I'm going back to my side. I know you're curious why I showed her the reason is that someone needed to know now you should talk." I shut my eyes and turn torward Luna scared of what will happen now that she know everything even stuff I don't know. I can't help but fear her reaction to my past. I hear her steps getting closer then I feel her wrap me in a hug and I'm confused, "Why why would you hug me you know what I've done." "Yes I do and that's why I'm holding you so it won't happen again so you wont be left to fall back into the darkness. You did it not because you wanted to but because you had to I understand." I'm shocked she knows all of my past and she didn't attack me she knows what I am and accepts me why. I've killed and stolen and she doesn't brand me a monster. "Do not worry NT you are safe from the ones who tormented you and your past. I will be a friend to you my sister too and I imagine you have become acquainted with the elements. They may be friends to you too, although they don't need to know of this they may not handle it as well as my sister and I." I grip Luna and start sobing. "Why are you so accepting? I *hic* I am a monster *hic* I know you saw it in there the reason I lost my memories I died. *hic* How can you accept something like me *hic*." I can't help but sob as I speak and Luna just sits there holding me and rubbing my back then starts rocking me." Why *hic* should I believe *hic* that I won't have to lose it all again." "That's a benefit of having princesses as friends we can protect you so you won't have to run again." I start to tremble. "So I will ask you this would you like to be my friend Ness Tucker?" At that point I can barely speak and my eyes burn and I feel like I'll pass out but I need to anwser her, "Yes Luna please I want to be friends." I can't hold back my emotions at all as I begin bawling like a small child for the next several minutes and Luna continued to comfort me. After what felt like an hour I recovered my composure and stood up with Luna's help. At that point I realized something about Luna, "Umm Luna what's with the way you look." Currently Luna is an anthropormorphic version of her self and she's dressed in a Lara Croft outfit." "Oh well the other you said it would be easier for me if I looked more human and this outfit is from one of the human video games we recovered that I enjoy. Do I look strange or offputing apologies if my current apperance frightens you." She seems embarassed. "No it's not offputting or anything you're quite beautiful actually I was just curious why." I sputter out. Luna turns bright red and I do the same when I realize what I said, "You think I'm beautiful?" "Yes in this and your normal form. Eep." I cover my mouth once I catch up with it, but the damage is done me and Luna just fidget awkardly. "Thank you I haven't been told that genuinly in a long time." Luna steps towards me and plants a kiss on my cheek and I'm rendered speach less. Third Person POV As Luna plants the kiss on NT a shadow races towards them and wraps NT in darkness and a red aura which makes him appear as a diffrent being. The creature floats in the air for a moment then focuses a pair of red eyes on Luna and speaks with a warped female voice, "Isn't that cute you 'helped' him and you two are close. What did you think he would just go and be happy after this nope. You just made this easier for me I wanted him to confont his past, but you interfered with the spell although this is just as good. Thank you. You may have just made it easier for me to be able to have him back. I will give you this warning this boy is my stallion and I won't let anypony take him from me especialy not some dried up old whorses watch your back. Your lucky this was the last of my magic left in him goodbye princess." The darkness leaves NT and dissapears and he falls into Luna's arms. NT's past self reappears." Luna I believe you should go NT will be fine and on that note this must stay secret if he knows about this it won't be good. Thank you Luna you have no idea what this means." With that Luna wordlessly leaves the dreamscape and goes to tell Celestia what she has learned. Meanwhile the mystery mare has her own agenda,"Who does she think she is now I've used the last of the moniter spell. The good news is NT should look like his self in the morning and her meddling may allow me somefree time in my plan push step three to hearts and hooves day. That will be the best day to reunite with my love." Author's Note Sorry this took so long this one chapter had 8 rewrites I orignaly was going to do a long chapter about Ness's first week in pony society after Pixi told the mane 6 about his past. On a diffrent note some stuff will be talked about later so don't worry but feel free to ask questions and give critisism it helps. //-------------------------------------------------------// New Week prt 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// New Week prt 1 Sunday I wake up feeling refreshed after the incident in my dream. With Luna and Celestia both knowing about my past I imagine that I will be seeing them soon. Although that can wait since I'm supposed to go by Rarity's place but for now breakfast or whatever meal its time for. I walk into the bathroom to start my day to see my hair has regrown and the dye is gone, also my eye color has changed and I can't infulence it. Ten minutes later I've made it to the table and see Twilght and Spike setting food on the table, "Morning NT great timing I was about to send Spike to wake you up. So how do you feel you gave us a scare last night." "I feel pretty good. So who carried me up to my bed?" "Oh Pinkie did that. On a diffrent note I like the way your mane looks now how did it grow so fast?" "Not sure. Twilight I might need help getting to Rarity's place today could you or Spike help me?" "Spike will help you I have to prepare for my trip to Canterlot." "Why are you going to Canterlot?" "The girls and I are going to be there during the peace talks between the princesses and Queen Chrysalis. Celestia also asked for you to come with us for a day would you like to do so." "Sure." I turn toward Spike who already was eating, "That's why you were so quitet." He just smiles sheepishly and I sit down next to him and we eat in silence. Once we finish we decide we'll watch a movie then head over to Rarity's. "NT Twi told me that in your time we're a tv show was I popular?" "Yep but lets decide what we'll watch." "Um how about that Iron man movie that sounds cool." Spike seems to be a little cheerier. "Great choice my friend." We sit down and start the movie. As we watch it Spike keeps asking questions as we watch the movie and I'm happy to oblige his curiosity. We get to the end and Spike seems to have enjoyed it. "That was so cool I can't believe you guys had stuff like those jets. Also the music was great too. " "The band is called AC/DC we can listen to them on our way to Rarity's." "Alright." "I'll meet you at the front door in five minutes." "Sure." Spike leaves the room and I take out my key since all my shirts dissapeared I've decided to wear one of my old cosplay outfits. Namely my Phoenix Wright I feel like Rarity might like the way it looks. I gel back my hair grab the suit and fix the badge to my lapel. Once its on I look in the mirror to make sure I got it just right when I see my hair I am reminded of turntable turnabout and start laughing I think I'll show Spike that later. Happy with the way I look I strike a pose and yell, "Objection!" Then I whistle for Yoh and head towards the door. When we get to the door I see Spike trying to hold the door closed when he looks at me he seems worried, "NT we have a problem." "What are there reporters or something?" "Actually reporters and tourist trying to get a peek at Ponyville's new resident. There are too many to try to rush by." "Spike how far is Rarity's place?" "About two hundred yards." "Alright to the tallest point of the castle I have an idea." We go up to the top of the castle on the way I grab something from my room. "What's that?" "This is the yellow tail and its how we're getting to Rarity's." "How?" I just smile and say "You'll see." We make it to the roof, "Alright which way is Rariy's?" I activate and drop the board and it hovers a foot off the ground. Spike points in a direction then I call Yoh over and he hops in my arms then I tell Spike to hop on and hold on to me. "What ever you do don't let go." "Got it." He grabs on and I start to build up speed by going around the roof once I feel we are going fast enough I jump off in the direction Spike pointed and he begins screaming until he notices we aren't falling straight down. "What is going on?" "What's going on is that we're falling with style this is a hoverboard this is one of three i made its the only one that could handle all three of us. I'll show you the other two later." Spike smiles and starts telling me about the buildings we glide over we're like this for about ten minutes then Rainbow Dash and some other pegasi fly next to us. "Hey funny seeing you up here." "I guess it is. How are you Dash?" "Pretty good. We were worried about you last night are you sure alright to use that thing?" "Don't worry I'm fine. See ya Dash, Spike hold on next stop ground floor." Before Rainbow can respond I stop and go into a dive bomb when I stop us I feel all of my weight come back with a vengeance and Spike and I yelp as we fall off. I noticed that Dash and the other flew down after us and now are laughing their asses off. "Yeah yea laugh it up I haven't used this thing I a while I know I could out fly any of you." This gets their attention. "Those are some big words care to prove them?" Rainbow slowly flies towards me as she says it. "Sure after nightmare night we'll race loser has to call the winner best flier in Equestria." This seems rile her up a bit more. "How bout loser does what the winner says for a day?" "Sure." We shake on it and she takes off saying she has a few things to take care of before she heads to Canterlot. I wave goodbye and turn around to Spike and Carousel Boutique. "Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this later?" I murmur as I walk towards the front door. When I ring the bell I hear Rarity. "One moment." Once she opens the she seems surprised, "NT why you look smashing in that ensemble it just seems to scream Take That! And your hair just ties it all together." I start to blush from her compliment, "Th-thanks." "Come in. oh hello Spike how are you?" "I'm alright now, but NT gave me a real scare." "Really what did you do to Spike?" "Nothing much I just took him for a flight." "You can fly?" She seems amazed. "Kinda I use this board it runs off magic." "I thought you could not use magic?" As we speak she ushers me through her home. "I can't but, my body is like a big magic battery and the board uses me as its power source." "Interesting I'm sure Twilight would love to study that." "I bet." "But that's besides the point. Here it is my design room darling here I shall create your new wardrobe." "Thank you Rarity." "It is no problem darling now I need you to strip so I can take your measurements. Hears a hanger for your clothes." "Alright." I begin to strip as she floats the hanger to me. "Oh I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable." "I'm fine don't worry we won't have a repeat of yesterday." "I hope so. Well hold still." For the next twenty minutes Rarity takes my measurements and makes small talk. Once she's done I get ready to leave. "Well I should have your new clothes ready by Nightmare night if you want I could also make you a costume." "No need I have one ready. I'll see ya later." "Alright you have a good day." I walk outside to see Spike trying to ride the board while Yoh watches him. "Spike is there anything you wanted to do?" "Yeah let's head to Sweet Apple Acres, and after we'll get lunch at Sugarcube Corner." "K. Also we're stuck on the ground for now this board can only glide so we need to work to avoid that crowd." Spike nods then he and Yoh hop on the board. I start moving and Spike gives me directions as we go we're greeted by all the different ponies in town, but I notice an occasional dirty look, I have to look into that later. Out of nowhere we run into a tour group. "If you look to your left you can see… Ponyville's new human, a baby dragon, and a timberwolf pup all riding some sort of device." Suddenly the entire group turns toward us some gasp, others snap pictures, and more walk toward us. "Sorry can't chat in a hurry Spike which way?" "That way." With that we speed off and try to make sure we aren't followed agreeing that the apple family may not want tourists all over her farm trying to get pictures of me. We end up on the outskirts of Ponyville and taking the long way. When we get there Spike hams up "Welcome To Sweet Apple Acres home of the worlds best apples." As he speaks he makes huge gestures and I can't help but laugh, "Guess I over did it." "Yeah you did." I see Applejack and who I assume is her brother. " Hey Spike take Yoh and meet Applejack I have an idea." "OK?" He and Yoh hop of the board and I fold it in and atatch it to my back then jump into the trees and move toward Applejack this is made harder by the fact I have to stay hidden and guess my path. The whole time I see Spike and Yoh taking quick looks at me then we make it, "Hi Applejack, Big Mac." I hear Spike greet as I hop into the tree above them. "Hi ya Spike oh and NT's timberwolf is witcha what brings y'all here?" "We were just out with NT and decided to drop by." "Oh sooo is he with ya?" Replies Applejack as she says that I get ready to jump out the tree, but before I can the tree starts shaking and I fall. "Wahhhhh… oof." Then I hear Spike laughing. "Ha ha yuck it up. Hi Applejack and you must be Big Mac nice to meet you." I reach out my hand and does the same. "Eyup." "Nice to see ya on yer feet." "Thanks, since I'm here why don't I help out." "Sure why don't ya try ta buck those trees." She points at a nearby tree and I attempt to kick it first with a standing kick and when that fails I switch to a running drop kick which gets some apples to fall. "Maybe we should try something else…" "Wait I got it." I jump in to the tree and toss the apples down it takes about ten seconds. "How's that?" "Nice trick now take those buckets to the barn." I nod then take all the buckets around the tree I did and the one Mac did about six in all. "Y'all might not want to do that." I understand that normally this would be a bad idea but I know what I'm doing and get them to the barn with no trouble walking back I feel like I'm being watched, but I dismiss it and walk back, "Good job if you just take the buckets while we buck the trees we could have all this done in half the time. What do think Big Mac?" "Eyup." "So NT you wanna start today?" "Sure." Then I look at Spike, "So Spike what are you going to do?" "I know what he's gonna do he'll probably go spend time with Applebloom that's why he wanted to stop by." "Yeah you got me." "She's in the clubhouse." "See you later NT." "See ya." When I finish he's out of sight then I realise something, "You were my guide." I hear Applejack laugh, "Don't worry sugarcube when we're done I show you around if we have time." "Thanks. Alright let's get this done." "Eyup." We spend the next two hours working with them bucking trees and me carrying the buckets. Half way through their grandmother came out and it was interesting to say the least. "Applejack Big Mac time for lunch." She called. "NT come with us so ya can meet Granny Smith." "Sure." We walk toward their house and I see a green mare. She takes a look at me and seems to start thinking about something. Then she speaks, "Now I rember you're that human colt nice ta meet ya dearie call me Granny Smith. What brings ya here." "I was here because Applejack..." "Oh I got ya, go a head Applejack I can tell he's a good colt and he would be a good special somepony." Both Applejack and Big Mac start choking on their food and I'm unsure what to say. "That's not it Granny Smith I offered him a job here and thanks to him we'll be able to finish early today." "That's good to hear sorry about that sonny." Then she has me lean in and whispers in my ear, "I still think you should ask Applejack on a date." I gulp then she laughs and pats me on my back. "What did she say to you?" "Nothing to worry about." After that we got back to work and nothing interesting actually happed other than Yoh and Applejacks dog Winona playing together. When we finished it was time for us to hop on the train to Canterlot. "Do you need to stop by Twi's?" "No." After that Applejack grabbed her bags and handed me a small bag of coins. "What's this for?" "Its your pay for today." I thank her and pick up her bags. "What are ya doing?" "I was going to carry your bags since I have hands I think this would be better than you having to carry it with your mouth." "Thank you." I nod and we walk to the train station. When we arrive the others are already there and seems are being bothered by what looks to be minotaurs. Applejack and I rush over to them. "We heard he was staying with you so you know where he is." "Yeah ehehhe so tell us." The two sound like bully characters from an old anime. "So who is it you two are looking for?" "The human thing that appeared a few days ago." He turns to me as he says this. "Lucky you here I am. Now what did you need so bad that you had to harass these nice mares." As I finish he swings at me I step back out of the way. "Did you come for a fight?" "Yep my friend and I saw the paper and we wanted to see what the creatrue that fought off a manticore." "Fine one second." I set down Applejack's bags and my board. Then Ipullout a small strip of paper with some writting on it. "Dude you don't have to fight these guys." "Rainbow is right you only recently recovered." Adds Fluttershy. "Darling, I agree. Also I don't think your current outfit would be appropriate." "I know, but I don't back down from jerks like this. Also don't worry about the suit Rarity I got it covered." I take the paper and put it on my chest. "Change!" As I shout a light engulfs me and when it fades I'm dressed like Garam minus the skates. https://camo.derpicdn.net/0315d470c4af7c49d96481a04daa7e6bc5c372e9?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvignette2.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fjetsetradio%2Fimages%2F9%2F9a%2FGaram.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20100812065703 "Alright let's go. Place ya bets" https://img.youtube.com/vi/HSZIej-ZraE/mqdefault.jpg "Fine with us." Then they both rush me and hop over them both and kick one in the back while the other makes a grab at me. "Hold still you runt." "OK which one of you is still?" This gets a laugh out of Pinkie and a grunt out the minotaurs. "Sorry not good at stand up but I'm great at beat downs." This gets a laugh from the rest and seems to really piss off the minotaurs as they both bear down on me with a hammer fist. "Shut up you runt." When I dodge one catches me with a punch to the ribs. "Finaly I got you punk." That one hit was enough to wind me and my kick only knocked the other off balance . They charge me again and I attempt to jump again, "Not this time." when I was directly above them one punched me ,and something cracked, while the other grabbed my leg and slammed me into the ground and something else cracked. I hear a gasp from everyone watching. "Don't worry about me." I stand back up and get into a fighting stance, "This will be over soon." Then I rush the one who slammed me. I move to fast for him to be able to react and deliver a jumping uppercut followed up by a spinning kick to his jaw. He flies four feet to the right, "Still awake?" I am answered by him rushing me an roaring, "Perfect." I duck under him and kick him in the chin with both legs. He does a full flip and lands out cold. "Manny! OK runt no more mister nice bull." He reels back an swings with what I assume is all his might because when I catch it a large amount of dust is kicked up. "What how!? Before my punch launched you." "Yeah I rember but I was ready this time. Now take your friend and go home." I change my grip on his arm then flip him. "And don't come back." "Fine fine we'll leave you alone. We only did this on a bet all walks of life want to fight you there's a pot and who ever can provide proof they beat you gets it." "Interesting. Now leave." He picks his friend up and runs off. Once they'er out of sight I fall to one knee. "Gah!! Huf huf. Oh man." The others rush to my side. "That was mighty impressive NT but I don't think you should do that again." States Applejack. "Aj's right that was awesome but you look pretty bad." Adds Rainbow DashDash. "Don't worry this won't become a habit hopefully." I reply. "I hope that's true." Responds Twilight. "Now let's get going the train will be leaving soon." We load everyones bags on to the train while we're doing so I get a little jealous of Twilight and Rarity's magic. Once its all on I'm pleasantly surprised that we're in a private car. Once I sit down Fluttershy flies over to me, "NT now that we're on the train let me see your injuries please." "You don't have to do that I feel fine and I don't have any bruises see." "You may not have any bruises but I'm sure I heard cracking noises." She stares me down and I can feel any protest die in my throat. "Fine." I sigh in defeat. "NT I was curious what was that when you changed clothes it look kinda like magic?" Asks Twilight. "It was magic. Ow that stings." "Sorry it looks like you cracked three ribs and that's it please be more carefull." States Fluttershy. "But you said you were unable to use magic." "That's true but I can use magic tools and word magic. My board and key are magic tools and the sheet of paper was a form of word magic. They both work by using the magic in my body." "But you can't use magic any other way?" "Right these things use me like a battery." "Can I please see more of that word magic or use your key again so I can study it?" "Actually I was about use my key you all can put your bags in the room and take it out when we get to the castle." Twilight has a look of realization. "That's genius we can save so much time." I walk to t one of the doors in the cab and use my key. "Here you go just put the bags in here and I'll take them out when we get to the castle." We move all the bags and they all stop and look around the room . "I was curious why you didn't have a bag. This is wonderful I may have to bring you with me when ever I travel darling." "I wouldn't mind." "So what is this where you live?" Asked Dash "No this is my old bedroom the key was enchanted to open at my old house. Sometime ago my friend Kai enchanted because the house was demolished and now the room is in a pocket deminsion. Thankfully all my stuff was in here, but you can only be in this room for three hours a day so let's get back on the train." We all move back in to the car and sit down. "NT do you think you can show me more word magic?" Asked Twilight. "Sure Twi..." I'm interrupted by my clothes returning to normal. "That was unexpected, but yeah Sure. Now which one… I got Twilight would you like to try being human?" I was met with a gasp. "You can do that?" Twilight looks shocked. "Yeah it is its a special word magic using a magic circle and a little work, but I can't use it on my own easily because you have to channel magic into the rune. So do you want to try?" "Sure let's try it." I nod and pull chalk out of my pocket and start writing on the floor. Twilight watches my intensely while the others seem only mildly interested. It took about five minutes to finish it mainly because I would stretch to reach one side of the circle and Fluttershy would stop me saying I would hurt my ribs. "OK Twilight I'm done all you need to do is stand in the circle and fire a spell at it." "Got it." She walk into the circle and fires a bolt of magic at the rune and the room fills with light, and I look straight at it and left blind, but I hear gasps from the others. "Do I look that weird?" When might sight returns I see that Twilight is about two to three inches taller than me, has purple skin, and is extremly atractive and naked. So i paniced tunred around coverd my eyes. "NT whats wrong?" "You're naked here put this this on your shoulder and say change." "O-oK. Change!" Suddenly she's dressed as Mia Fey. "So um NT do I look alright?" "You look great Twilight, but remember that you have to wear clothes. So how does it feel?" "Its weird especially with these." She then grabs her breast and I feel my face heat up when I hear her moan, "Oh these seem to be sensitive are these considered attractive?" I nod, "NT thank you for letting me try this." She wraps me in up in a hug and I feel my brain shuting down. "Are you ok?" I recover slightly, "I'm fine its just that seeing you naked was almost enough to short out my brain." My face heats up even more and I notice a red hue to Twilights face. "Enough of that I wanna see what I look like human I bet I'll look 20% cooler." "Later Dash we're almost there. How do I change back?" "Same way you transformed into a human when you activate it again it undoes the spell." "Got it." Twilight steps into the circle again and when she uses her magic again she seems to have a ghost horn on her forehead then the spell fires and she turns back. "Next time NT should try some normal human activities." "Sure." "NT I noticed a lot of differences between you and Twilight like her ears and teeth along with here overall body shape." Stated Fluttershy. "Twilight's ears and teeth are normal for any human but mine are a abnormality its a side effect from magic backlash. Her body shape on the other hand most females bodies generally have that shape and her actual body is what most humans consider attractive. Although her skin tone is strange, normaly human skin would be from a pale pink to a dark brown, but I would guess that the spell just make the color of your skin the same as your coat. if you have more questions I have a book on anatomy and some others on medicen for humans I could loan you Pixi said she also gave a few to the doctors in Ponyville so don't worry about returning them in a hurry. " "That would be good and then I would be able to preform first aid if something happened to you." Responded Fluttershy. "Attention We have arrived at Canterlot station. Next stop Manehatten we will be departing in Twenty minutes." Comes from the P.A. system. "Alright let's get going to the castle. NT let's race." Shouts Dash. "I know you're eager to lose to me but can't it wait." I retort with a smug smile. "I won't lose slowNess." That did it. "Fine where's the castle from here?" I shout as I toss my board down and kick into high gear. "Its a straight shot from here. Pinkie can you do the countdown?" "Sure thing Dashie. 5…4…3…2…1…GO!" And we're off the race lasts about 10 seconds. "Done!" I shout as I stop in front of the castle and fall over with Dash on my heels. She catches me before I hit the ground. "Woah I got you." "Don't call me slow." "I can't after that you beat me, but I won't let it happen again." She laughs as she helps me to my feet. "That was so amazing you're both so fast and Nessy was able to take off with a sonic boom he was like woosh then Dashie you were right on his tail. So who won?" Shouts Pinkie. "He did but now he can barely stand." "No I will be fine just a little tired going that fast takes a lot out of me." "If you're really OK we need to hurry and meet the princesses." Reminds Twilight. We all agree and head into the castle. As we walk I'm amazed by the castle, "NT you seem impressed." "Of course this place is awesome." I say with a smile. As we walk I notice most the guards are on edge. Also I noticed a changeling walking around and they seemed nervous which the girls didn't help as they watched them go by I flashed a smile which was returned. Shortly after that we arrived at the throne room. "Announcing the arrival of the elements of harmony and Ness Tucker the human." Shouts a guard as he opens the door. "Thank you Flash. Greetings to all of you I hope your trip was a good one." "It was Princess Celestia." Replies Twilight. "NT its good to see you again I hope you are enjoying your stay in Ponyville." "I am very much." "Good to hear now if you all could head through the door to the right we can get to why we are all here today. NT can you wait one second I need to speak to you." "OK?" I can feel my nerves overtaking me as I realize I may have offended her because I didn't bow. Or worse when Luna told her everything she decided I'm too dangerous. "Ness." Hearing my first name makes me think the latter. "Luna told me about your past," I can't fight the fear I'm feeling at this moment, but one thing confuses me her tone. "And I was shocked and I have one thing to say." I feel tears well in my eyes until I feel a pair of wings wrap around me. "You don't have to fear anymore." "Wh…wha?" I'm at a loss on what to do first Luna now Celestia. "Hush just know my sister and I don't condemn your actions or what you are. We are here for you we understand what you did and why you fear the gaze of others. This is between us nopony else has to know and if you need someone to speak with my sister and I will lend an ear and who knows there may be somepony else." "Let me guess Chrysalis?" "Yes I believe she may also be able to be a confidant and I think she would also need someone to lean on, but that would be in short supply." "I understand and thank you for understanding me. Didn't expect to befriend three princesses in a week." I say with a laugh as she releases me. "I didn't expect to befriend an extinct creature." She counters. "Touché sunbutt. Thank you Princess." "You're welcome Ness feel free to call me Celestia." She says with a laugh. "Alright I think the others have waited long enough." " Wait one more thing." "What?" Celestia suddenly kisses me on the cheek. "Just that let's go meet the others." I nod and follow wordlessly. As we walk toward the room with the others I hear Pinkie's voice, " It was so cool those meanies were all, 'We know he stays with you.' Then NT was all 'Its your lucky day.' After that they fought and NT knocked out one and sent the other packing." "Thats interesting I can't wait to meet him what about you Cadence?" I hear from a new voice. "That story does paint a picture." Replies another voice. "I hope its a good one." As I speak all eyes turn to me. "Good timing I don't think they have any more stories about you." States a stallion who I think is Twilight's brother. "That not surprising there's only one story." I take the cross armed Shepard pose. "Nice to finally meet you I'm Shining Armor…" "And I'm Mi Amoré Candenza you can call me Cadence." I giggle as she states her name. "What's so funny." "Sorry its just your name translates to I Love Cadence." "Oh I didn't expect you to know spaneighsh, I thought you might be laughing for a different reason." "Its funny because Cadence is the Princess of Love." States Twilight. "Cool." "Now that you've all been introduced we shouldn't keep the delegates waiting." States Celestia. "Delegates?" I question. "Yes represtatives of the kingdoms and creatures of Equis that was one of the reasons you needed to be here you're the only known human." States Celestia. "Got it can we get this over with." Celestia simply nods as we walk through the castle. During the walk I notice a few more changelings, but they seem to be looking for something. "If you two are looking for another changeling I saw one near the garden." They both look at me shocked. "Thank you." States one while the others nod and they walked away. Everyone except Celestia seems a little surprised. Once we reach the conference room we see a dragon arriving at the room. "Afternoon Celestia and entourage… YOU!" He focuses his gaze on me, "How dare you not give your Grandpa a hug." "Grandpa!?" Shouts everyone as I walk over to him. "Yes I'm this little trouble maker is my grand child." He states with pride. "May I introduce Egil Tucker the leader of the newly founded dragon nation." States Celestia. I look at gramps with awe. "Thank you Celestia you and Mcgruffon are the only ones who have accepted Dragoon as a nation." "Let's see if we can change that." With that said Celestia opens the door and I see the represtatives along with Luna and Chrysalis who seem nervous. "Greetings and thank you for waiting with the arrival of Ness Tucker the human and the leader of Dragoon Egil we can begin this meeting. Who would like to begin?" "I would." A zebra stands up his voice heavy with an African accent. "The room recognizes Zulu Mandela." "Thank you. I mean no disrespect but I don't trust the idea of a nation of dragons and I'm a bit wary of a long extinct species and a changeling queen with a sudden change of heart." The next hour was the delegates coming up with reasons against me, gramps, and Chrysalis. Gramps had good counters for any argument against either of us which quickly lost steam once he mentioned that they would open new trade routes through dragon territory and that I was being monitord by the elements, which at this point I noticed Twilight was the only one left. On the other hand the arguments against Chrysalis which were spearheaded by Shinning and Cadence didn't stop until I said that her actions are understandable and could have been much worse and that they weren't her choice as she explained earlier so we should give her this chance to prove weather she will be an ally or not. Most of the delegates looked to Shinning and Cadence who seemed to be surprised that I spoke up for Chrysalis before myself. After that the conversation moved to trade or something and I left the room since I have no reason to be involved anymore. Once out I decided to look for the girls. While I was wondering around I ran into Pinkie then she just took off in a puff of smoke. "What the HELL!" I ended up in the garden and decided, if they need me they'll find me, and I took a nap under a tree. After what felt like thirty minutes I am awoken by a hoof in my face. "I'm still alive you can stop now." "Oh thank goodness. Sorry for ending you're nap early my name is Blueblood." He extends his hoof to me. "Nice to meet you." As I shake his hoof a smile spreads across his face. "I did it I did it." "What did you do." "Oh right you wouldn't know I have a bad reputation. The main reason being that I treated others very poorly and acted like a self-intitled jerk, my mother told me that it was the way a royal should act, but I learned she was not the best role model. When I learned that I ask for help to better my self and the way I speak was one thing I was told to change. Oh sorry we just met and I'm telling you my life story." "Its fine I'm happy to listen to someone's plight. Wait do you know where I could find Twilight's friends?" "Actually they asked me to look for you. I got caught up trying to make a good impression and forgot sorry about that let's go." He turns and starts walking. "Don't worry about it Blue I'm always happy to make a new friend." I get up to follow. "Thank you you're the first friend I made." "And I won't be the last." "I hope you're right." With that we share a laugh and get moving. As we walk we share some small talk and he tells me about an incedent he had with Rarity and I tell him about when I first met Pinkie. We share a few more laughs then we arrive at another room. "Here you go it was nice meeting you." "Thank you and likewise." Blueblood walks away and I'm left in front of the door As I open the door I wonder what the girls have been up to. "SURPRISE!" Voices ring out from the room and knock me on my but. "Ahhh! Oof damnit. I'm getting sick of falling." "Well I hope you're not sick of parties." I look up to see a lot of ponies, gramps and Chrysalis in the room with a banner that says: Welcome to Equestria. "Wait you threw me a party?" "YepIthrowonewheneveranewponycomestoPonyville,butIwasn'tabletothrowyouone.NormallyIwouldwaituntilwewentbacktoPonyville,butIwouldn'twantyoutoendeduphavingapanicattackatyourownpartysoIdecidedtothrowasmallpartywhilewewerehereandIinvitedLyra,BonBon,Octavia,andVinylbecausetheyweregonnabeinCanterlottodayandyesterdaytheyaskedaboutthewelcomingparty!!!" I stand in a daze as I process what Pinkie just said(I feel bad for the readers.) You get back behind that forth wall. (Fine you you can't delete this right?bye.)[Wait what the hell he's right wait why did this appear I didn't type it. Damnit Deadpool I will have vengeance.]"NT do I need to repeat that?" "I got it so let's get this party started!" As I say that everyone cheers and the elements all walk over to gramps. While they did that four ponies walk up two of them I recognize as Vinyl and Lyra. "Hi thanks for coming." I start to feel a little nervous. "No problem Tavi and I are happy to be here we were hoping to hear somemore human music." States Vinyl with a smile. "Yeah and BonBon and I wanted to learn a little more about humans." Say Lyra who looks nervous maybe more than me. "Thanks for coming and its nice to properly meet the four of you." I feel a little overwhelmed in this situation. "We will talk to you later Mr.Tucker Vinyl and I need to set up." I mentally thank Octavia as she and Vinyl walk away and I turn back to Lyra and BonBon. "So what did you two want to know?" "We would like to get a good look at your muscles before now we compared human musculature to that of a minotaur, but from just looking at you I can tell that's incorrect." States Lyra who looks nervous. "Uhhh sure thing." I pull off my suit jacket and button-up when I do both of their eyes seem to scan every inch of my torso. "Hmmm you're a lot thinner than any thing I've seen." States Bonbon as she walks up to me and takes one of my arms in her hoof and prods it. "And your arms seem like they're more flexible than a minotaurs but less than a pony's foreleg." She releases my arm and starts writing in a journal. "NT could you please hold out your hand?" Asks Lyra when I do she takes it in her magic grasp. "Interesting your fingers are so thin, and what's with these claw like bits?" "Oh my nails I think they're suposed to protect my fingertips but I'm not sure." "Interesting thank you for letting us do that. We both have some questions we would like to ask is that ok?" Asks Lyra. "Go ahead." As I say that I put my stuff back on. "What was dating like for humans I mean who asked who?" Starts Bonbon. "It use to be the guy asked the girl, but in my time it depended. Most of the time for me the girl asked. On the other hand my male friends asked everytime, and Kai she was bi so its kinda hard to count but I think she preferred to be the persuer. What's it like for ponies?" Since I am on the topic I might learn how they do it here. "Its pretty evenly split with it tipping towards mares asking." Answers Lyra. "Do human practice polygamy?" "Technically no but somepeople engage in polyamorous relationships to various degrees. They aren't always looked on apon fondly people of my time would go crazy over relationships that went against the norm, but I never cared I just say let people do what they do unless it hurts someone." I finish with a shrug. "Interesting thank you for answering our questions sorry if we made you uncomfortable. We were just really excited to meet you." As she says this both she and Bonbon look embarrassed. "Its fine I can imagine that a long extinct species coming back could be exciting." I say with a smile. "Oh no fair! When I came back no pony was excited to see me." The three of us are caught off guard as Discord appears. "But it is understandable considering what I did. Now NT could you point me in the direction of a dragon named Egil?" "He's over there." ""Thank you scale butt." Quips Discord as he floats towards gramps. "I don't have scales especialy on my butt." I shout at him, and I hear Bonbon and Lyra laugh. "Do you mind if we check?" Quips Bonbon waggling her eyebrows. "Sorry that's something only a doctor or my girlfriend gets to see." I shot back. "Well then I'll just have to become one of those." She retorts with a wink. "Well Bonbon that's quiet forward." I hear from my left and turn to see its Octavia. "Its just some playful flirting to lighten the mood after we asked NT so many questions." Retorts Bonbon. "Alright, but now its our turn to talk to NT follow us big guy." Yells Vinyl as she walks up next to Octavia. "OK I hope we get to talk again soon." I say as I follow the music mares. Author's Note I'm cutting it here so I can have at least one new chapter out the next will be the rest of Sunday to Thursday or Wednesday. Sorry it took so long I hope to release chapters more often in the future. //-------------------------------------------------------// New week prt 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// New week prt 2 "Alright," Vinyl starts, "First thing first let's talk business." "What?" I question. "I want you to preform during Nightmare Night." "Huh?" "Come on it'll be fun Tavi and I will even help you." "Please Mr. Tucker your performance the other day was amazing and us and many other ponies would love to see more." Adds Octavia. "Sure I'll do it." "Alright now that that's out the way on to a new topic I wanted to know why you beat the stuffing out of those minotaurs." Asks Vinyl. "They had came to Ponyville to fight me so I gave them what they came for." I shrug. "That's quite impressive are you a soldier?" Questions Octavia. "No I'm not I just learned to fight for self-defense purposes." "Well whoever taught you did a good job. On a different note did you learn to play any instruments?" "Yeah a few, if you want I can go get them." "Please do." Responds Octavia. I turn to leave the room and notice that now its only Rarity talking to gramps. Once out in the hall I run to the bathroom and use my key once in the room I load a cart with a few intruments and a little surprise it takes about ten minutes. Once I'm back in the room I see that now Applejack is talking two gramps one on one. "Oh good you're back Vinyl was getting impatient." "Was not! So what's all this?" "Well these are all the instruments currently in my posesion. We have two guitars, two basses, a drum kit, a synth, and a keyboard." I state with a smile. "Why do you have two guitars and basses?" Questions Vinyl. "One of each is gramps's. Oh and one last thing i brought a karoke machine filled with songs from my time." "Alright sounds like fun so you wanna kick this thing off now?" "Let's get this set-up." With that said we get to work connecting the karaoke system and my instruments to Vinyl's sound system. While we're working I notice the six are speaking the the princesses and that Shining Armor is watching me. Third Person POV "Thank you Twilight, but we already heard about this from Pixi last night." States Celestia. "Princess what should we do?" Asks Twilight. "Nothing my sister and I have a plan I shall send one of my guards to watch over him when he returns to Ponyville also we will have Chrysalis at his side." Replies Luna. "Wait! Princess why are you sending her to Ponyville?" "We entend for her to be reformed and we believe Ness is the perfect candidate." States Celestia. With Discord and Egil "Its good to hear your plans have gone so smoothly." States Discord. "Yes they have mostly with Ness's appearance it has caused a stir with a few older dragons. At least those who either don't trust me or wish to take our new country for them selves. Ember has been a great help her father was not a fan of mine, but she likes the idea of dragons getting along with ponies and the like." "Who would have thought he would be such a source of chaos, and not the fun kind. Although it must be a relief for you now that he's back in the world." "Yes it is and I'm sure he is just as happy. Even though he can't remember it he's been through so much and it still shows. From him staying with King in that home, his mother's dissapearence, his father's murder, and those tragidies." Egil visibly shudders as does Discord. "I know its hard on his subconscious and I know just a pleasant sight from the past can help." Egil turns toward NT with a somber smile. "But are you sure he'll be alright in the past he had the sisters, Kai, and those boys along with Pixi and King now its been reduced to one." "Old friend I don't believe that for a second I know he will find support it will be dIffrent from before, but it maybe better this way." "Perhaps, but only time will tell I'll do my best to help him. Who knows what the future holds I hope we can handle it." Sighs Discord looking at NT with worry. "Thank you now I best get ready for what ever he has planned with the mare." "Before you do what about him dating." "Ohh no! That's another can of worms so many dragons are intrested to the point they asked me if they could court him. Then I have to worry what may happen during a heat he would be easy pickings if a mare decided to 'take charge' so for now let's not think about that." "That may be for the best." With Cadence and Chrysalis "While I understand your circumstances now I'm still not happy with what happened and I still don't trust you, but I am willing to give you a chance." States Cadence as she stares at Chrysalis. "Thank you that's all I could ask for." once done speaking Chrysalis turns and begins to leave. "Stop!" Chrysalis stops and turns toward Cadence shocked, "I think that Mr. Tucker might want to meet you I mean he defended you and if he hadn't said what he did I probably would not heard you out just now." "I…i guess your right princess I should properly thank him." She begins fidgeting as she says this and Cadence adopts a wide grin. "Sooo… what are you gonna say too him?" At this Chrysalis seems flustered at this." Shinning Armors head "What are his intentions with Twily." This just repeats over and over as the purple alicorn's big brother scowls at the human. NT's POV "Aright I think its ready." I turn towards Vinyl and smile. "So are you gonna start us off?" "Yeah I got a song to get all of their attention and get this rolling." "Cool let's do this." Vinyl hops behind her sound system and I hop on the stage and grab a mic. I take a slip out and use it to change my clothes to a black version of the mask's suit. "Smmmokin'" I do a quick spin and fix my hat. "Vinyl the song's is Mikes Song." She nods and I here the music start.[youtube=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z5thpfhv83M] One minute in and they're all focusing on me and halfway though Discord is on stage dressed in a blue suit and dancing. The song comes to an end, "Thank you. So who's next?" Dash raises a hoof and and steps on stage we continue until everyone excluding gramps has gone, it took sometime with all the duets and encores. To end this musical moment I decided to do a number with gramps, "Vinyl put on the music track for showtime." Gramps smiles knowingly. "I guess I should get ready." With that he transforms to his humanlike form, tall about six foot two, fair skin, blood red hair, pointed ears, two small horns, grey eyes, and he's wearing a suit with a fedora. "Its been a while I hope I can keep up." "I know you can." I change into a similar outfit and notice the shock on everyone's faces. "Its a family thing I was told my dad could do it too." They all just nod. "3 2 1 go." As we start Discord joins. [youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U5xAfRUqxsc&itct=CB0QpDAYACITCNenv7ajq8wCFQVWfgodJkkFHjIHcmVsYXRlZEiGmbq08NnItLQB] At the end I throw my hat. "That was fun but I shall retire for the night." "Alright Gramps goodnight don't let the hunter bite." He laughs as he transforms and leaves the room. The rest of the party is uneventful just eating and small talk until Pinkie suggests truth or dare at this point the party is only me, Dash, Vinyl, Rarity, Pinkie, and the princesses and they're all happy to. They turn towards me expectantly "sure I'll play." They all let out a small cheer. We sit down in a circle and Pinkie starts. "Vinyl truth or dare?" "Dare." "I dare you to let me wear your shades for the rest of the night." Vinyl seems taken aback by this I guess her shades are pretty important. "Fine!" She floats the glasses on to Pinkies face which looks quite smug. "My turn Luna truth or dare?" "Dare." "I dare you to…" her eyes drift over to me and she smiles, uh oh! "Levitate NT around the room." "Easy" before I could protest I'm lifted in to the air and moved around the room once I'm set down I scurry to a garbage can and start dry heaving. "Oh my apologies Ness I should not have acted so hastily." "Don't worry I'm fine." I wave. "Alright truth or dare." I weigh my options, "Dare." This feels like a bad idea. "I dare you to turn us human." Everyone excluding Vinyl seems to agree and Vinyl seems shocked. "He can do that!?" Shouts Vinyl. "Yeah he did it to Twi on the way here." States Dash. "Give me a minute." I get to work drawing five circles. "Done just stand in the circles and leave it to me." They step on the circles and I use a few slips to channel my magic and clothe them when done. "There you go. Move slow its hard to adapt to a new body," They all seem OK excluding Celestia who was about to fall. "Easy now just sit down." She sits down and I notice Celestia, Luna, and Dash all still have their wings but they grew bigger. "Mmmmm." Moans Vinyl I stop her and give them an explanation of the female body to the best of my ability along with why they have to wear clothes. "So this isn't OK?" She flips her shirt and flashes me. "No its not." I cover my eyes. "Can we get back to the game." I shout. "Fine." Smiles Vinyl, "but you looked like you enjoyed the show." "Dash truth or dare?" "Dare." Perfect. "I dare you to fly around the room…" "Easy." "While you're human and carrying Vinyl." Her smile fades and Vinyl scowls at me. "Maybe not as easy." Dash stands up and grabs Vinyl and takes off. Its pretty funny because Dash currently can't fly straightstraight. She lands on me. "Done whew." "Yipe." I shriek as I receive a full blue body press. "Whoops. Sorry buddy." At this point Dash is straddling me. "Shouldn't you two wait till you're alone?" Snickers Vinyl as she steadys herself. We both blush and move to separate. "Uhh! Rarity truth or dare?" "Dare darling." I have a bad feeling this will effect me. "I dare you to kiss NT." I should have known. "Ness please come here." Asks Rarity as she stands up. "Sure." I know this will happen one way or the other. "Don't worry I will be gentle and make it up to you." She winks then grabs my shoulders and her lips come crashing into mine, I'm not sure how long it lasted but it felt like a while, she leans into the kiss and her new height helps her dominate me and she seems to know it as prods with her tounge for entrance. Luckily for me before it went any further Luna pulled us apart. "Oops seemed I got carried away." Rarity wipes some saliva from her mouth. "Princess Celestia truth or dare." "I think I'll take a dare." Rarity didn't seem ready for that, nor was I for that kiss. " I dare you to…" Rarity seems a loss. "Levita…" Vinyl starts. "No not again. Here ride my board." I unfold and activate it. "Yes I dare you to ride Ness' hoverboard." States Rarity. "I believe I can handle that." States Celestia as stands up a little wobbly. "We'll see. Alright you need to control the flow of magic slowly." She step on the board and I stop my magic flow and Celestia takes over. "As you can see I can handle this." I lightly tap the board and she falls both Luna and I start laughing hystericly and Celestia joins us. "Alright it was more difficult than you made it look. Pinkie Pie truth or dare?" "Dare!" "I want you to prank Discord." "Okie doki loki." She dissapeared into the hall and returns in about 30 seconds with a smile. "All done." "Oo a piece of candy." I hear Discord's voice. "What? Oh dear Norway." Discord enters the room covered in cheese an feathers and we all start laughing. "I realize this may be karma so I will let it slide everypony gets one." With that he walks away. "Well its getting late we should head to bed." States Rarity with a yawn so I turn everone back. "Yeah Rares is right g'night." Dash, Vinyl and Pinkie leave the room and leave me, Rarity, and the princesses. "Good night princesses, NT." Rarity punctuates that with a wink. As Rarity leaves Gramps returns and so does Chrysalis. "Gramps good thing you're back I need you to help me see the future." Everyone looks at me. "You two can see the future?" Questions Chrysalis. "No but my friend Kai could and she was able to leave me a future sight spell but only someone with strong magic can activate it." "Funny I came back for my own reason." He pulls out some clothing. "It can't be you fixed it?" "Yes I did you should wear these with pride and don't worry they won't fall apart ever again." I feel a tear come from my eye. "What is so important about these clothes?" Asks Chrysalis. "These are the ones you made with Egil and your father and the hat is your crest as a dragon." States Luna. "That's correct it was a memory I keep it to myself since eight months ago they were both heavily damaged in a fight. My crest was split and my clothes nearly burned off." "What's so special about the clothes?" Ask Chrysalis. "Its my combat suit its enchanted originally it acted as armour and gave me greater manuverablity. So gramps what did you so." "I changed two things first the suit (looks like the vampire garb from smash.) can't be destroyed and the wings connect to your body now. Also the crest (the dragon helmet but smaller and similar coloring to NTs hair.) won't be fully fixed until you put it on." I nod. "Now if we use that spell you need to tell them." "Right. So this spell works using magic wavelengths you all happen to all match mine so you will also see a vision of the future and it won't be pretty Kai's note tells of something bad." They all just nod and seem to be ready. "Let's do this gramps." I pull out the note and he channels his magic and the room starts to fade away. I'm standing in front of a chimera in Ponyville and there is fire around. "Heh Nessy boy look what happened all those ponies burned because you didn't want to take a hit and they thought you would protect them. What a joke the blood letter as a protector of the weak you've been a killer for the last six months, before that the boy who punched a hole in the, and the setember demon and you think you can change. Never and I bet you thought it was gone, but it will never will be you are a monster hahahaha…" The beast keeps laughing I see Twilight walk up. "Twilight no get back=" then the monster lashes out with the snake head and before I can react it bites Twilight and her body falls limp in its maw. I feel this vision ebb away and tears fill my eyes. Back in the real world I see that whatever they saw shook them. "I'm sorry about whatever you saw." They look at me but not how I expect they seem worried about me I'll guess what they saw was what will happen because of what I already saw. "Don't tell me what you saw what ever it is will be better than what I did. I'm going to sleep." I leave the room but I hear them begin discussing. Monday I wake up to the weight of a wooden puppy on my chest with out cracking an eye I speak, "Yoh get off me or no more belly rubs." He scoots off my chest and to the mattress. "Good boy." He groans as I crack an eye and I'm met with the changeling that I saw first yesterday. "Hello?" It jumps and hides behind a chair. "Don't worry I'm friendly." "T-th-thats not it." From the voice I can tell its female. "I know I shouldn't be watching you like this, but I was curious about you. You seemed to be fine with changelings even Chrysalis." "I have no reason not to." "I wanted to properly speak to you and I thought waking you up would be a good time." Before she can continue Chrysalis walks in. "Chel are you in here." She looks from the Changeling now known as Chel to me. "Sorry about this she is extremely curious, but lacks self-control." I smile, " Its fine Queenie I don't mind." I notice a look of worry for half a second. "Don't worry about the vision I can handle it." She smiles, last night after I left the room she followed me and we ended up talking for a few hours it was nice, I get up and I give her a hug. "You're stuck with me as a friend for a while." We spend a half hour talking until a maid tells us its time for breakfast. "Alright you two need to go so I can change and get ready for the day." "Fine." Huffs Chel. "I'll speak to you later." Chirps Chrysalis. I wave and shut the door. I grab my shorts, crest and jacket then get in the shower. Within fifteen minutes I'm on my way to the dinning room. On my way I notice one of the minotaurs from yesterday but now he is in a uniform, he sees me but keeps walking. I also run into Blueblood. "Morning buddy." He stops and turns toward me. "Oh good morning Ness how are you?" "Good how about you?" "Fine. Hey where's your timberwolf?" "He said he was tired from what you two did yesterday and wants to sleep in." He laughs a bit and we enter the dinning room and I see the girls, princesses, and old fogies. "Morning." They all respond and I take a seat between gramps and Rarity while Blue sits between the princesses. I silently pray that no one mentions last night. "Gramps keep an eye on the minotaur representative the guys who attacked me I saw him speaking with one." I whisper to gramps. "Interesting." He strokes his chin and closes his eyes. Celestia seems to notice our conversation. "What are you two talking about?" "Just that I'm happy that I made such interesting new friends." She smiles and seems content with my awnser, but I feel that she knows that's not what we were talking about. "That's good to hear maybe I'll have you send me friendship reports too." Before I can react Discord appears behind me. "No fair I was going to have him be my student you have Twilight and the elements and Luna has that Lulamoon mare. What about me I watched this boy grow up." He pouts. "You done Mr. DiCaprio that performance was great but you still can't have an emmy." I say with a slow clap, both he and gramps start snickering and I join in. "Is that some joke from your time NT?" Asks Twilight. "Yeah." "So its a joke for old fogies." Quips Dash. "I wouldn't say that Rainbow Dash he's younger than you." Replies Discord with a smug grin. "Wait how old are you then?" "I'm 19." The elements seem surprised. "Hmm didn't think Rarity would've gone after a younger guy like that?" I feel the heat in my face build, thank god for my dark skin, knowing exactly where this is going damn you Dash expect some payback. Also I notice a blush forming on Rarity's face, and gramps stopped chewing. "What are ya talkin' bout Dash?" Questions Aj. "Oh nothing just that when we played truth or dare last night NT and Rarity made out, it got to the point where we had to separate them. Here's a picture." She actually had a photo. "Where did you get that?" I shout and see everyone who hadn't seen this before eyes the size of dinner plates. Also gramps and Discord both take a spit take. "Vinyl took it while you two were tounge wrestling." I put my head on the table and cover it to hide from any more embarrassment. "So when are you two gonna go on that date?" She teases. This goes on for five minutes. "Eh hem." Speaks up Luna, "Enough picking on our friend. Let's talk about something else… oh I recived a request last night for you to preform today would you be willing to?" "Sure. Gramps you and mixed bag need to help me I don't want to bother Vinyl this time." They both nod. "What time?" "I will have a stage ready by noon." States Luna. "I can't wait to see you preform again." "Alright I'm going to go sightsee." I stand up and walk back to get Yoh and go check out the city. On my way out of the castle with Yoh I run into Chrysalis, "Hi Queenie." I sing. "Huh?" She look around confused then turns to me. "Oh hello Ness where are you headed?" "Gonna go sightsee where were you headed?" "To check on the other changelings that came with me there are some who work around Canterlot and stay at their place of employment." "How many came with you?" "About twenty including myself, ten in the castle and nine in town. Oh! How about I show you around while I make my round?" "Sounds like fun." I smile and we both leave the castle. Author's Note I decided to cut the chapter here to get it out earlier. Comments are still appreciated. Till next time hasta la bye bye. //-------------------------------------------------------// Rude Awakening //-------------------------------------------------------// Rude Awakening ---NT's POV--- I start to open my eyes "arg too much light" I shriek as I am surprised by lights in what ever room I'm in. "NT are you alright" I hear Pixi yell as i shield my face from the light while doing so I notice my left eye is covered by some kind of patch but I decide not to worry about it. " So Pixi I guess you found some locals to help us and that they know about magic" as I say this i feel Pixi jump on to my lap and I hear her say. "Yes on both accounts ,but there is something you should know about our hosts." "Is he alright! I heard a scream" when I hear that voice immediately question Pixi "Please tell me that my life was saved by Tara Strong and that you were wrong about the future thing?" I say cracking my eye open and letting a hopeful smile spreading across my face which disappears when I see the look on her face. "Don't worry he's fine feel free to come in now" she yells back then turns and says "What will you tell them?" "that depends on what they know about humans i have theory but we will see." Once finish that statement a certain purple alicorn walks into the room and smiles before she says "Oh it's so good you woke up up your friend seemed so worried and I have so many questions ..." "Stop before I answer any questions I need to know how much you know about humans" My outburst seemed to scare her at first but she seems to move past it and begins to speak again" Well you are the first human that we have found ,but we know that humans lived over 5000 years ago. The reason they disappeared is unknown and it is still being looked into. Also most of what we know is from pictures as we are still attempting to translate any text found but we are not having much luck. Hopefully that will change with your help. Our archaeologists have found many pieces of human technology recently and have been able to integrate it into our society these include computers an television which has seen a lot of popularity in bigger cities..." "Alright Twilight I got what I needed to know and then some." " wait! how did you know my name!?" she says in shock. "Well that's easy you and your friends were a cartoon back in my time" "NT are you sure that's was the best way to tell her" "Maybe not but it was the easist. ok Twilight I know now you have even more questions and I'll save you that trouble the show focused on you and your friends and started when you first arrived in Ponyville I think and I have no way of knowing where it ended. Also don't worry the show wasn't super detailed about your life it was mostly just your adventures still even then I pretty much just know names and few of you ponies." "That's surprising I don't know how to react" "Then accept it and move along like I said I didn't watch the show much but I did find it entertaing but we can forget about that it isn't important what is though is thank you. I think I might owe you." I say quickly as I look around the room and see that it's just the three of us in the room."So where are the guards?" "Guards? Pixi told me that you wouldn't hurt anypony and I believed her." "Hmmm. Thank you it's nice to have someone else other than Pixi to trust. On a different note could the two of you give me sometime alone to think?" I ask looking out the window. "Sure the princesses won't be here for a while."Twilight responds. "I need to alert the doctors of your recovery and teach them about your anatomy so you can have a proper check up. Also I'm sure you noticed you can't move your left arm it's from the manticore's sting but because you were only nicked by it you won't be able to use it for about a week" Pixi states as both of them leave the room. Now that I'm alone I stand up and get ready to sneak out but first I make sure I have my scarf once I grab it I write a note and sneak out the window. --1hr. Later Third Person POV-- "Twilight I must say thank you for helping us." "I was happy to help" as they spoke both Luna and Celestia had arrived at the hospital. "Hello Twilight, oh and you must be Pixi I am Princess Celestia and this is my sister Luna it is a pleasure to meet you although it could be under better circumstances. On that note is your friend doing alright?" " Thank you for your concern Princess he will be just fine. The two of you arived at the peefect moment we are on our way to his room now shall we?" "We shall, and I am happy to hear that he will be alright." As Celestia finshed her statement the four of them began walking down the hall. During this time Pixi noticed that Luna seemed to be nervous about someting ,but assumed it was not her buisness and said nothing. As they reached the door to NT's room Pixi spoke up"One thing about NT that you all should know is that he is a gynaphobe" " Wait really he seemed fine when we spoke earlier." "Well yes he was it is only a problem in groups but normaly he is fine as long as someone he trusts is nearby" At this point Celestia interjects with " Then we will need to keep that in mind." "Alright we have kept him waiting long enough." As the door opens there is a collective gasp as they see a note and the bed empty. "Where is he?" Yells Pixi as she hypervintelates. " I don't know wait the note..... I can't read it Pixi can you?" Twilight asks levitating the note down to the small fox. "Yes it says ' sorry I have to do this and it's best I do this before to many ponies know about me.' Oh no please don't let this be a suicide note" Looking at Pixi with shock Twilight asks" Why would he do that?" "NT has no memory of his life before about two years ago his goal has been to find his family, but now that's impossible." " My goodness that is sad but do you really believe that he would forfeit his life that easily." States Celestia as she tries to calm down Pixi. " You're right I got caught up in the moment and lost myself. Follow me I am able to track him." Before they could leave the room they suddenly hear the window open and a voice say. "Shoot sorry I was hoping to make it back before the princesses arrived. Well introductions are in order Princesses my name is Nestor Tucker but I prefer to be called NT it's a pleasure to meet you both."
