"Oh Celestia, why would you ever wear real leather!?!" Arcane exclaimed in disgust, wiping his mouth. When he figured out the material of Lauren's jacket, the former unicorn had promptly threw up. Excessively. For five minutes.

"Well, it's not exactly that rare!" Lauren rebutted, taking a paper tower from her bag in order to clean it. Suddenly, Arcane yawned once again, though a bit less subdued then before.

"Ugh, when do we get to your house? I'm getting tired." The former unicorn asked, eyes closing and and snapping open repeatedly. He didn't want to feel like a burden to Lauren by rushing her, but she did offer to him to stay at her house, and Arcane was honestly too exhausted to care.

Lauren simply rolled her eyes. "We're already here. Let's go." Lauren walked up to her rather standard. When she didn't hear footsteps following her, Lauren looked behind her, only to see Arcane sleeping on the ground, snoring silently. Chuckling to herself, she picked up Arcane, who was rather light she found, and brought him inside her house. Once indoors, Lauren walked straight to the guest room and set Arcane on the bed. Seeing Arcane's peaceful face as he slept made Lauren smile. Soon after, she went to her room.

"Ugh... Wait, how did I get here?" Arcane slurred, groaning as he woke up. The former unicorn recognized the feeling under him as a bed, a comfortable one at that. "Is this Lauren's house?"

Arcane glanced around the small room. There wasn't much of substance, only a desk and chair. The former unicorn then stood up from the bed, placing his feet on the floor and stretching his stiff arms. However, a realization suddenly hit him.

'Wait, did Lauren take my saddlebags from outside!?! She might've forgotten that I even have them! Damnit, I shouldn't have just fallen asleep, I hope I don't end up losing them...' Arcane hoped. He immediately ran out of the room, before realizing that he didn't know the layout of the house.

"Lauren? Where are you?" Arcane said, his voice ringing out in the silent house.

"I'm in the kitchen." She replied back. The former unicorn didn't actually know where the kitchen was, so he followed her voice. Once in the kitchen, Arcane saw Lauren sitting on a chair at a table, where two plates of salad lied. He noticed an empty chair pulled up.

"Sit down and eat." Lauren said, almost demanded. "From your reaction to leather, I'm pretty sure you are a vegetarian, so I got some salad. So eat before it loses its freshness." Arcane complied, and sat down. He levitated the fork, stuck it in a piece of lettuce, before bringing it to his face and eating it. It wasn't as good as in Equestria, but it tasted fine.

"By the way, Lauren, I can't thank you enough for letting me sleep at your house. Especially, since I could have been a robber or a murderer or something." Arcane thanked, bowing his head at the human woman.

"Oh, it was no problem, really. And even if you were a robber, nothing much would have happened." Lauren responded, scratching her head behind her head.

"Really? For what reason?" Arcane asked, raising an eyebrow by her answer.

"Well, I may have set up like three security cameras in there." She answered sheepishly. "I also put your bags on the counter over there, just in case you had a gun or something. I didn't look in there, though. Didn't want to breach your privacy." She pointed towards the kitchen counter, where the saddlebags in question were. Arcane dropped his levitation on the fork to bring them to his side.

"Thanks, again, I guess. So, I'm guessing you have some questions about my magic." Arcane guessed.

"Yep, I'm pretty interested by this magic. So lay it on me." Lauren said, her eyes focusing on the person in front of him. Arcane took a deep breath.

"Okay, but this might take a while and it might be hard to believe. So, basically, I come from another dimension called Equestria. In that dimension, most of the inhabitants are ponies, but they exist other species, like changelings, gryphons, minotaurs, etc. Anyways, ponies are divided into four categories, but more commonly three. The first race are the Earth Ponies. These ponies have strong connection to nature and are often incredibly strong. The second race are the Pegasi. These ponies have wings, thus allowing to fly. They also have the ability to stand on clouds and manipulate the weather through them. The last race are the Unicorns, my race. These ponies have the ability to use magic through use of their horns, which usually are on their forehead. However, my magic gets used through the front of my... hands." Arcane raised his hand to show Lauren the soft glow. "The last race are the Alicorns, which have the abilities of all three races. However, there are only three that currently exist." Arcane looked at Lauren, who had a neutral expression on her face.

"Okay..." Lauren said slowly, still trying to process the information Arcane had just dumped on her. "Why exactly are you here, then?" Arcane breathed in deeply once again.

"Okay, so I was trying to join the Royal Guard, which is basically a protection service for Equestria. I was just about to graduate and to officially join them, but then our instructor had told us of a special mission. The bearers for the Elements of Harmony, a set of artifacts that protect Equestria, have been banished to your dimension of Earth. So Princess Celestia asked one of the recruits to go to Earth to retrieve them. I applied for it, so I brought those bags as supplies and came here as fast as possible. My species turned to that of the main species of this dimension, humans, but I was still able to use my magic. I woke up in a field, and your city was in view. So I walked here, and you know what happened after." Arcane finished, looking at the table.

"I know it's hard to believe, bu-"

"I believe you."

Arcane looked up in surprise to see Lauren giving him a smile. "Really?"

"I mean, you certainly don't sound like you're lying, and I can't say your magic is human. If it was, I would have heard about it. So I believe you." Lauren told the former unicorn, who was smiling.

"Than-"

"Although, I don't think I can take you seriously now that you said that you're a small horse." Lauren added, chuckling to herself.

Arcane simply rolled his eyes, before he heard a voice that wasn't his nor Lauren's.

"Hello? Can you hear me, Arcane?" Celestia's voice came from the gem on his ear.

"Yes, I can hear you Princess." Arcane replied.

"Oh, good. Rusted Spear told me about your current situation, and I'm happy that you've made it to Earth safely." Princess Celestia said with a gentle voice. "If I remember correctly, your instructor had told you to meet with the locals. How did that go?"

"Well, Princess. It seems like none of the humans are capable or even believe in magic. So when I used my magic in public, I got a few odd looks, but I did meet up with someone who offered me a place to sleep for the night." Arcane replied.

"What do you mean 'for the night'? You fell asleep at 2:00 PM and napped for like 3 hours." Lauren mentioned, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms.

"Oh..." Arcane said sheepishly. "Well, besides that, not much has happened. Although, I would like to know how to find the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. I don't really have a clue where to start."

"I'm happy that you have found somepony that helped you during your stay. Make sure to give them my thanks." Celestia said. "As for finding the Elements, please activate your magic, but don't use any spells."

Arcane was confused, but complied. He deactivated his levitation on his saddlebags and concentrated his magic. His hand blazed brightly. This went on for a minute.

"Okay, you may stop." Arcane's hand stopped glowing.

"What exactly did you do, Princess?" Arcane asked curiously.

"That gem on your ear does not only serve for communication. It can also transfer magic. Which means if I were to use a particular spell through my gem, it will go to your gem and straight to your horn." Celestia explained before Arcane interrupted her.

"Actually, Princess, in this body, I don't have a horn. My magic goes through my hand, which is like my front hoof." Arcane told the Solar Princess.

"Oh, okay. Well, the magic will go to your hand. Basically, I can cast spells from here in Equestria from where you are on Earth." Princess Celestia finished her explanation.

"What spell did you cast, exactly?" Arcane asked.

"You see, whenever the bearers would use the Elements, a small part of it's magic would remain inside of them. By using a spell to find where that magical signature is, I could tell you where the bearers are." Celestia clarified. The former unicorn smiled.

"Great idea, Princess. So, did you find the Elements?" Arcane inquired.

"I found their locations, however it's in the form of coordinates, which means I can not tell where is the exact location. The bearers seem to be scattered, from what I can observe by these coordinates. The nearest Element, the Element of Magic, are at the coordinates '40.7128° at north and 74.0059° west'. Did you get that?" Celestia explained to the recruit.

"Yes, I got it. Thank you, Princess." Arcane thanked.

"It's no problem, in fact, thank you for taking this mission in the first place. However, it seems like I must be going now. I have another session of Day Court to attend." Celestia told the recruit.

"No problem, Princess. You have duties as Princess and you should not spend your time talking to me." Arcane assured.

"Alright, I'll talk to you as soon as possible. Goodbye, my little pony."

"Goodbye, Princess."

Arcane touched the gem on his ear instinctively before looking at Lauren, who had a smug grin on her face.

"Oh, so you have access to the Princess of your world. Talk about living the dream life." Lauren said, her smugness carrying on into her voice.

"Of course I have to talk to her, she's the one who gave me the mission in the first place. Speaking of which, the Princess thanks you for giving me a place to sleep." Arcane deadpanned, before Lauren placed a hand on her chest.

"Oh wow! The Princess of Equestria thanks me herself!! What an honor!! Oh, how I live the wonderful and lucky life!!" Lauren stated dramatically. Arcane rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, I have a few questions to ask. It's some information I don't get." Arcane asked.

"Shoot."

"Well, the Princess told me the location of the first Element bearer. But in the form of coordinates, so I wanted to know where those coordinates are." Arcane said.

Lauren suddenly beamed. "Really, coordinates!?! Be right back!" Lauren ran into another room before coming out with a large red book in hand.

"You seem pretty excited." Arcane quipped. Lauren ignored him and began flipping through the pages of the book.

"I'm a geographer, I'm pretty passionate about things like that." Lauren pointed out.

"I thought you were a babysitter." The former unicorn said.

"I work as a babysitter as a side job. Now, what were those coordinates?" Lauren asked.

"40.7128° to the north and 74.0059° to the west." Arcane stated, internally surprised that he was able to remember. Lauren skimmed through the pages of the book, eventually stopping. "Those coordinates are the coordinates for New York City."

Arcane suddenly stood up. "Well, I guess that's where I'm going. Thanks for letting me sleep here."

"Where do you think you're going?" Lauren inquired.

"To this New York City place. I need to find the Elements." Arcane told the human woman, levitating his bags to his side.

"You don't even know where New York is. Hell, even if you did, it might take months for you to walk to there from here in California. Might even take a year." Lauren claimed, standing up as well.

"So what do you suggest, miss Lauren?" Arcane asked mockingly, staring the woman in question straight in the eyes.

"I dunno, but you should make a plan. There are ways to make it to New York faster, but that costs a lot of money, thousands even." Lauren suggested, looking at the floor. "It's the reason I'm still here. It's a dream of mine to travel across the world, to see everything it has to offer. I plan to work my ass off until I have enough money to travel safely."

Arcane then sighed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I brought some currency from my world, but I don't think that's enough to reach the thousands." He levitated the only ten bits he had from his bag. However, the former unicorn was surprised by Lauren's gawking expression.

"Is there anything wro-" Lauren suddenly came up to him and grabbed a bit. She began to examine it extensively.

"How did you get this!?!" The woman practically demanded. Arcane raised an eyebrow.

"It's not rare. It's common currency." Arcane explained.

"Common!?! This is pure solid gold! A single one of these coins would sell for like a thousand dollars. You could definitely pay your trip to New York with these!!" She shouted.

"That's good. I have something else from my world. It's another type of currency, but a lot less common." Arcane brought out an large emerald. When he saw Lauren's slack-jawed face, he chuckled.

"I-i-is that al-l-l?" Lauren stuttered, with her mind metaphorically exploding.

"Well.." Arcane looked through the contents of his bags. "I have six sapphires, four rubies, two emeralds, not including the one in front of you. Oh, and a diamond too. They are all the same size as the one you are seeing right now." Arcane said.

"Well, that's all I got... Lauren, are you okay?

I think I may have broken you. Damnit..."

Author's Note

Okay, it's done. And now, I can finally tell you the inspiration of this story.

You see, I'm not the first person to make a story where the Mane 6 are banished to Earth or something similar. Example, Five Score Divided by Four. However, there is a huge logic problem in my opinion. Why the f*ck are the Mane Six in the same village/country!?! They are currently 195 countries in the world, which means there would be a 2/195 for 2 of the Mane Six to be in the same country. That's NOT counting towns, villages, tribes, etc. But for some reason, they are all conveniently grouped up in most stories.

Which is why, with this story, the Mane Six are scattered across Earth. WE BE GOIN' INTERNATIONAL!!!
