Twilight's Castle

The Survivor walked out of the large room and back to where Luna was still sitting. She almost immediately stood up when he arrived, putting her arms behind her back and humming.

He looked at her suspiciously, "What did you steal?" He asked smiling under the helmet.

"Whatever do you mean heh heh," her eyes darted left to right as sweat started rolling down her face. The Survivor didn't think that possible with all the fur.

"Luna....what do you have behind your back?" He tried to look behind her but she would just turn so he couldn't see. "Luna come on, please show me what's behind your back."

Luna didn't know why but she just couldn't keep up the lie. She showed the Survivor a glass cup and it didn't take long for him to put it together.

He grabbed the glass, "Did you....spy on our conversation? Wow that's... Pretty ballsie." The Survivor put it down on a small table and looked at Luna expecting her to say something.

He didn't have to wait, "I'm sorry Soul I just wanted to make sure my sister didn't say anything that crossed any lines." The Survivor didn't see why she was being so protective.

"Well how much did you hear? If you heard anything at all." Luna's ears folded down and her eyes glazed as she recalled what she heard.

"I-i-i heard everything!" Luna wrapped the Survivor in a hug. Her arms barely wrapped around the armor he had on, the Survivor thank whatever gods there was for if he could feel what was press up on his power armor. He'd probably have a tight sensation in the crotch of his combat armor.

"Easy Luna, easy your ok I don't care if you heard." The Survivor said, but Luna just keep hugging, and was she crying? "Hey...why you cryin?" He said pushing her away enough so he could whip her tears.

"I just *sob* I just can't believe what happened to you. Your wife, your child how I mean...how! I know you said it happened long ago but are you sure? I mean if you want anything just say it and it's yours." Luna said threw tears.

"Luna you don't need to feel sad, I've already said that I'm quite...over it. You can't feel sad for me trust me I've loathed for a long time. I just need to get on with my life, Ok? Though I do appreciate the worry, a change from the usual happy people I'd dealt with." He said as he helped her up, Luna whipped her eyes. Sniffling as she nodded her head. "Now, let's see that smile, hmm?"

Luna smirked but that turned into a full blown grin, "I don't know why but...you know how to make me laugh." She cleared her throat, "Anyway, let's get on with my plan. You are to stay at the home of one of Twilight's friends. I will visit you occasionally to make sure your behaving right and to keep an eye on you." She looked towards him but couldn't tell what he was thinking. Luna wished he would take that think off. Now that she knew that wasn't his real face all she wanted to do was see what he looked like.

The Survivor just stood there taking it all in, "You mean I'm... Going to be staying here? Why not with you or something?"

"Because both me and my sister have fallen behind on our paper work and will need some time to catch up. That and the fact that we more specifically me, still run a country." Luna said, as she started walking down the hall where Twilight and her friends were. Luckily she had takin the time to tell them about the situation.

"Oh well...that's disappointing. Here I was just starting to like you." He said in mock hurt.

Luna couldn't suppress her laughter, "Oh don't worry like I said, I'll be visiting you every so often."

That made it to a large set of doors. Luna was going to open the door but stopped and turned back towards the Survivor. "Look, Twilight's friends are very...hard to deal with sometimes. Well some of them anyway, but nun more then a pony called Pinky Pie."

The Survivor had to stiffile a laugh with that name, "Look, I've dealt with monsters. I've dealt with robots, ghouls, mutants, and assholes with agendas to kill me. I'm sure I can handle a pony named Pinky Pie, especially a pony named Pinky Pie!" He said as he walked over to the door and opened it.

The Survivor saw six girls, all gorgeous but no surprise there. Two had wings and one had a horn while another two didn't seem to have either. The last one looked like the alicorn from the picture. She must be this Twilight he'd been hearing about, the two with wings were talking to each other. One was cyan blue with a...rainbow colored hair do. The other was a pale yellow with a pale pink hair do, she seemed timid and closed off. The one with a horn was white with a purple hair do, and the two ponies who didn't seem to poses either wings or a horn were orange and pink. The orange one had blond hair and a stetson hat. While the pink one who he assumed was Pinky Pie, had curly bouncy dark pink hair. Their bodies were all different from the other, the cyan one was the less curvy. Having the smallest chest and hips but lots of toned muscle under her tight workout outfit. The pale yellow one was the exact opposite, having deep visable curves that looked fake at first. The orange one was like the cyan one with toned muscle but slightly bigger in regards to her body. Pinky Pie had a far more normal body build, while the white one seemed to be built with subduction in mind. Twilight was the one who looked like a mini Luna what with her chest and rear being something to behold.

They all looked at the metal being that had just opened the doors. Twilight saw Luna behind the one called Soul and went to greet her friend. "Hello Luna how have you been?"

"Just fine Twilight, besides the whole new species thing." Luna answered, hugging her sister's ex-student.

Pinky Pie who had poped up behind Twilight from across the room looked at soul's armor. "Ooohhhh, is this the alien?" She asked.

"Pinky! Don't say that he's an alien! He is a visitor to our world and we should treat him with respect." Twilight turned towards the Survivor. "I'm sorry sir Soul, Pinky can be a little disrespectful at times but I assure you. She's really nice if you get to know her." Twilight said trying to apologize for her friend's actions.

He waved it off, "she's fine, in all fairness your all alien to me so no hard feelings." The Survivor walked over to Pinky. His armor making loud clangs on the floor as he did. "Hello, I'm the Soul Survivor but for whatever reason she's started calling me Soul sooo I guess that'll do for now." He said referencing to Luna as extended his hand.

"Oh I'm so so so happy to finally see you! I can't wait to give you a welcome to Ponyville party!" Said Pinky, as she grabbed his hand and somehow managed to shake his entire suit of armor. The Survivor let go still shaking as the world keep vibrating around him. Luna placed her hand on his armor to stop his shaking, he looked at her while she smirked back.

"Still think you can 'handle' her?" Luna said, putting a mock of his voice into the question.

"How did she do that? This stuff weights at least 100 pounds!" The Survivor said, not liking the disregard to physics.

Luna chuckled, "I believe her friends refur to it as 'Pinky being Pinky' trust me when I say you should just roll with it." She turned to walk out of the room where Celestia was waiting in the hall, "Goodbye Soul, I'll see you soon." With that, the large doors shut close and the Survivor was left in the room. With six mares who he knew nothing about except for two...yep normal day so far.

"Wow look at that armor! So. Cool!" Said Rainbow Dash, "hey I'm Rainbow Dash! The fastest flyer in Equestria!"

The Survivor smiled as she boasted, "nice to meet you, and might I say you look quite muscular." He decided stroking their egos would be the best way to get on their good side.

Rainbow ate it up, "really! Well...I have been working out." She flexed a little showing off.

"It totally shows, and who are you?" He asked, as the orange one walked up.

"Names Applejack, nice ta meet ya." She extended her hand to him and he shoke it. The Survivor applied a little to much force and squeezed her hand harder then expected. "Ow, quite the grip you have there partner." She said as she message her hand.

"Oh sorry, forgot the armor is a little bulky here let's do something to prevent that." He said as he exited his power armor. The girls watched as he climed out and smiled, presenting himself like one presents a new item. "So...everything you'd expect?"

The girls were at a lose of words, he had a fair muscular build. His face was scared badly on the left but not that bad on the right, his face had chiseled feachers with a strong jaw line. They honestly didn't know what to say...well five of them didn't.

"Your clothes...they look hedious! How could you walk around with that scrap on your fore arms?!" Rarity said as she went up to inspect his heavy metal arms. "And what is this, white plastic your wearing? Oh darling you must allow me to design you some clothing so you don't have to wear...that."

"Well hello to you too." The Survivor said, laughing slightly.

Rarity blushed slightly moving back a little to give him space, "I'm sorry darling I lost control of myself for a minute there." She flipped her hair and looked at our brave hero. "I'm Rarity, fashion extrordinar." The Survivor was a little slow to shake the hand Rarity extended. She was truly beautiful, and her ass sets weren't bad either.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have to say lovely females like yourself are a 'Rarity'." The Survivor thought it be good to at least try to be funny. It looked to work out as Rarity giggled into her hand.

The Survivor noticed that the yellow one who was trying to hid behind her hair. He walked up to her but she just seemed to back away, it took a friendly Flutershy, Rainbow Dash to get her to stand in front of him. He knew that he would most likely be the one who starts this conversation.

"Hello, my name is Soul. Who are you?" The Survivor smiled trying to be friendly.

She spoke, but he couldn't hear her. He asked her again but ended with the same result.

"Her names Flutershy, and she's really shy. We've tried to get her comfortable before she meet you but she's a hard but to crack. Flutershy loves animals though and takes care of lots of them back at her cottage." Pinky had bounced up and wrapped an arm on the Survivor's neck.

"Oh so you like animals hmm? Well It just so happens to be that I feel into this world with my best friend. Who happens to be a dog." This sentence immediately got Flutershy's attention, she started asking him question after question about how old he was. What was his breed and how big he was, the Survivor just smiled. "Well I'd have to go get him but first we'll need a place to stay. Luna said Twilight or one of you would have a place for me to stay."

Twilight walked over to him, "well luckily the old library has been recently rebuilt. You should be able to stay there for the time being, but we should go and get your friend first." She walked towards a window and pointed to a tree that looked like a home.

"Ah tree hmm, well I can deal with that. Just so long as when there's a storm lightning doesn't burn it down." The Survivor said as he looked towards the library.

Twilight assured him that it was quite livable and that she was staying there before she lived in the castle. The Survivor nodded his head voicing his agreement with the situation. He climed back into his power armor and they all walked to go get the Survivor's friend. When they arrived at the exit the doors opened to reveal a dog covered in metal. It's toung hanging from the side of it's mouth, head cocked to the left.

The dog ran straight towards the Survivor, "Hey boy! Did you follow me all the way here, good boy good boy!" Dogmeat wagged his tail as the Survivor petted him.

The others couldn't believe their eyes. Not one of them not even Flutershy had ever seen this type of dog before.

"Where did ya leave him last Soul?" Asked Applejack, who was speaking everyponies mind.

"Well I left him back at that Forest over there, can't believe he was able to track me down." Soul answered as he pointed towards the Everfree Forest.

They all looked shocked as they watched the dog, how could it had made it through all the dangerous creatures and sence foliage? Dogmeat just rolled around, happy in the dirt as the Survivor started walking onward to where he last saw the house. Twilight said goodbye to her friends as she catched up to him. The only one who was having trouble leaving was Flutershy, who really wanted to talk to Soul's dog but just went home seeing it was getting dark. The Survivor's bright blue lights helped illuminate their way to the library. Once they arrived Twilight opened the door with a key and handed it to Soul.

"There you go, hope you two won't have any trouble sleeping. If you need anything just ask I'm right down the road." With that she turned around and flew off, leaving the Survivor to the door.

"Well buddy, here we go starting a new way of living. At least till we go back home." Dogmeat barked happily wagging his tail as the Survivor opened the door.

The library looked almost exactly like it did before it exploded, wooden interior, furniture, pictures, and even a kitchen. The Survivor bumped his helmet on the top of the door as he entered. He ducked and tried again as Dogmeat ran in and immediately jumped onto the couch. The Survivor looked around and noticed that the place was a little small but after he exited his power armor it be fine. After he looked around his head lamps lighting the place he found a light switch and turned on the lights. The place had a welcoming feeling to it, not like the homes in the Commonwealth. He exited his power armor and layed his lazer rifle down next to it. Soul looked around and smiled, it been so long sence he'd been in a proper home. Dogmeat ran up some stairs and he followed after him, just as excited to explore the new home. He came to a room with a bed, it didn't have holes or burn marks it was...It was just a regular bed. The Survivor went over to it as Dogmeat sniffed around the room and fell into it. The soft blankets and long lost feeling of comfort came and practicly knocked him out. Dogmeat eventually jumped up onto the bed as well and curled up, falling asleep.
