Chapter 6: Settling In

Author's notes: I have been trying to write this damn chapter for so long. Every Single fuckin' time I come on here, I begin to write it, then something happens where I get distracted, be it Battlefield 3 with friends, the steam summer sale (L.A. Noire, $5 totally worth it) or the all so famous to me, get side tracked watching Pawn Stars...(It's actually happened to me like 3 times.) So I'm gonna crack down write now and write you guys a hopefully killer chapter so that I don't loose any erm....Faithful Followers....Bad pony pun, anyone with me? amirite? ....
I just spent like 15 minutes on facebook right after writing this what the fuck did I tell ya'....

After getting dropped off by the uh....Royal Transit, we walked about 15 more minutes to get to our destination. This is where I actually noticed that they stood about up to my hip, and walked slightly slower. As a result, they had to trot to keep up with my long, human strides. Why they didn't just drop us of at her house is still beyond me, but I gotta say so is everything else here. It reminds me of that time when me and my college buddy blazed and then watched The Hooberbloob Highway, funny how insightful and inspirational things can be when your high. Afterwards for some reason we tried to make a Rube Goldberg type machine that would cook nachos. We ended up making a house fire.

We reached our destination, which was behind a big decorated tree, or so I thought.

"Uh, Twilight, is it? Where exactly is this place?"

"Right there!" She said, pointing a hoof into the direction of the tree.

"Oh, behind the tree?"

"It is the tree...Did you hit your head landing here or something?"

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID!" An exited Rainbow yelled from a few yards behind us.

"You live in the tree?" I asked, more curious than puzzled

"Uh, yeah? Where do you......"

"Humans"

"Ah, yes. Where do you Humans live?"

"In houses, the only thing I knew that lived in a tree was Winnie the Pooh..." I spoke, trailing off as I wandered into thought of this peculiar living environment.

"Winnie the WHAT?! " They said in unison, looking quite offended at my word choice.

"I'll explain later, but for now, let's go inside, it's cold out here..." After all, all I had was a scrub-like clothing on that you wear underneath your suit.

That reminded me, my suit and gear were still at the yellow coated pony's house. I needed to get them, after living under constant fear, you grow a psychological attachment to your weapons. But I felt that could wait until tomorrow, after all, I haven't had a full night of rest in over 3 days.

We proceeded into Twilight's....Tree, and I was a man on a mission and that mission was to find anything that was possible to pass out on...

"So I take it that I'm sleeping here?"

"Yes, those were the orders of the princess...At least until you can find you own living quarters, that is."

Alright, what ever. Free food and a place to crash, just like prison...

"So where am I supposed to crash?" I asked a little hastily

"If you mean sleep, then you can just sleep on the couch over there, why don't you get a nice fire going, huh?"

"What ever you say, magical purple unicorn..."

"You say that as if that's unusual."

I decided it would be best not to respond on that one.

The fire blazing, the couch looking as inviting as ever, and a dragon staring at me atop the staircase. This was the most comfortable I have been al-wait WHAT?!

"Erm...Twilight..."

"Yes, uh...Tent?"

"Trent, and there seems to be a scaly monster perched atop your staircase..."'

"Sigh, Spike! Stop scaring our alien friends and come down here!"

He didn't move, he just stood there, almost as if he were a statue.

"It's okay spike, he won't hurt you. Just come downstairs and meet him, he's gonna be with us for a while."

"If I ever see you as much as touch, Rarity, then I will slay you, ugly alien..."He spat with formidable rage, and with that, he turned and ran out of sight, back into the bedroom.

"Well that was officially the strangest thing that I have seen all day, and that's saying a lot..."

"Sorry, Spike is my assistant who also happens to be a dragon, who is ALSO, madly in love with my friend Rarity..." She said, recovering the lost breath from that mini speech.

"Who is this, Rarity character?"

"You will meet her tomorrow, along with Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and hopefully have a proper introduction with Fluttershy..."

Ah, Fluttershy, that was her name...

"So get some sleep, we gotta a long day ahead of us. And Rainbow, you can stay the night if you're too tired to fly back to your place."

"Nah, I'm fine. But thanks for the offer, see you guys tomorrow." With a quick wave, she flew of into the cold night.

And with that, Twilight departed into her bed chambers, as I was quickly coaxed into slumber from the flames, dancing upon a burning log.

I was awoken by the morning sun, creeping through the window and the embers slowly consuming the wood from the past night. The sound of hoof steps coming down the stairs made me direct my attention to the stair case.

"C'mon, get up, we gotta long day ahead of us."

"Mornin' to you too..."

"We gotta go to Sugar Cube Corner, that's where they promised to meet us at, so let's go, we're gonna be late."

And with that, I stood up, stretched my tired legs, put on my boots and made my way out the door, in tow of Twilight.

We finally made it to this Sugar Cube Corner, and let me tell ya', it look's like a damn Barbie dream house, everything pink and all that jazz. The inside smelled like fresh pastries, it was that smell the coaxed you downstairs when ever your mom baked. It was amazing. My memorization was interrupted by a pink blob, that seemed to be traveling at speeds that rivaled an F-22.

"AAHHHOHMYGOSHYOURHEREOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHAAHHITHREWAPARTYFORYOUBECAUSEIHEARDYOUWERENEWHEREANDWHENEVERTHEREISSOMEONENEWIALWAYSTHROWAPARTYANDNOWYOURHEREANDIGETTOMEETYOU!!!!!!!!!!"

I would rather of had an entire box magazine from an M249 fired directly next to my ear, then to go through that.

"If you don't shut the fuck up, right now, I swear I will tear out your spine and impale you with it..."

Not even that seemed to of deflated her excitement.

"Easy there, space man..." A familiar Rainbow maned Pegasus flew through the door way, followed by a most regal, fancy looking mare I had seen yet, with a striking white coat matched to a flowing purple mane.

"You must me the extra terrestrial being that all the talk is about, hmm?"

"Uh, yeah, and you must be..."

"Rarity, charmed."

"Ah, so your the one that little dragon almost killed me over last night?" I said with a sly grin.

"*GASP* MY WITTULSPIKEYWIKEY WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT!"

I really didn't expect her to be the type to raise her voice.

I backed off a bit "Well the only thing that he has ever said to me, is that if I touch you, I die..."

"Awww, so protective, how cute! My wittuwspikeywikey..." She trailed off as she turned to meet the other ponies.

"Alright, so I met the titanic passenger, the dyke, the meth tweaker and the nerd. So all that's left is the redne-GAAAAAHH!"

I yelled, as I fell on the table in front of me, as a result of what felt like two fists pounding me in the back with unrelenting force. I instinctively jumped to my feet, with a broken bottle in my hand, ready to take on my assailant. My eyes met a huge red mass galloping towards me at full speed. It hit me at full force, the muscular red attacker being on top of me. I quickly dogged any hooves and pulled a reversal, with me on top and nothing to stop be from pounding into the face on a-PONY?! I was being attacked by another pony? My amazement of staring into the bloodied face of another pony, was quickly interrupted my another set of hooves connecting with my head and shoulder. I was thrown from the stallion onto the ground by orange-brown looking pony, with a cowboy hat. I kinda giggled to myself at the ridiculousness of the situation, but then realized that I was being charged by both of them, with new found rage to tear me apart. I jumped to my feet as the cowgirl pony was tackled by Rainbow Dash, and the red one by a yellow and a caramel colored one.

"HE DESTROYED HALF MAH' ORCHARD! HE'S GON' PAY YA' HEAR! YA' GOOD FOR NOTHIN' VARMINT! I'M GONNA KILL YA'!" An enraged pony was screaming at the still, very confused me.

"EEYUP! YEW SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YERSELF!"

"CALM DOWN AJ! IT WASN'T HIS FAULT!" Rainbow yelled in my defense

"HE CRASHED HIS SPACE MACHINE INTO OUR ORCHARD TO GET RID UH THE COMPETITION!"

"EEYUP!"

"So you got me all figured out do ya'? Just couldn't keep your mouth shut and stop digging around, huh?"

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING YOU OWN SITUATION, TRENT!" Yelled a frustrated Rainbow.

"Haha I know, I just couldn't resist."

"Ok, AJ, lemme explain this all to you, just settle down and we will get this sorted out."

"So, ya' didn't, crash yer space machine onto my farm, on purpose?"

"Nope, didn't even mean to end up here either."

"Well I reckon' I owe you an apology..."

"...eeyup..."

"Accepted, I guess...But that still hurt ya'no, getting bucked full force, twice..."

"Heh, yeah, I feel mighty sorry for buckin' ya..."

Oh sweet baby Jesus, there goes my perverted mind, screwing up another situation as I couldn't help but to giggle a bit.

"Now what in the name of Princess Celestia is so funny 'bout that?"

"haha-um-heh...nothing, just a funny thought."

"Well alright then, I guess we resolved the quarrel, but that don't mean you 'aint helpin' us clean up the wreckage, ya' hear?"

"mmm....fine...."

I swear I'm 10 years old...

"Sorry to interrupt, Applejack, but Trent here has to take care of some things before he can get to repaying you." Twilight spoke out

"Yeauh, and you're gon' do some hot, heavy, hard core work...Only way you're gonna be able to repay me..." She said with a devious grin

Okay, that's it. Either this pony is extremely sexual, or I'm just dirty minded. But COME ON! THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BAD PORN INTRO! And aw man...The thought of that is just...GAH...NO..PLEASE...NO...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOD NO...If that was how it turned out I would probably projectile vomit directly onto her face. Gross.

"Oh my lantern, ah' almost forgot, ahm' Applejack, I own Ponyville's own Sweet Apple Acres with mah' big brother Big Macintosh over here!" She pointed to the muscular red stallion from before, and then extended a hoof, as I shook it I said to her...

"Corporal Trent Blackburne with the 17th Ranger's, at your service"

"The whut now?"

"I'm an elite military operative, sent with a squad of other rangers. I'm my squads combat medic, so if they end up getting injured during battle, I'm there to patch em' up."

"So you're sayin' that you're military? So that means you're strong, which means you can do some heavy plowin'."

If I were in range of anything that I could slice my jugular or carotid with, it would have been done by now.

"Good, you can help out Big Mac with the plowin', but it's hard work, requires a lot of muscle and strength, but they don't call em' Big Mac for nuthin'..."

"Eeyup..."

"OK TWILIGHT TIME TO LEAVE NICE TO MEET YOU WE HAVE TO LEAVE BYE NOW!" I grabbed Twilight by a hoof and pulled her out of Sugarcube Corner.

"What was that about?!" Twilight asked, sporting a mixture of confusion and anger on her face.

"Uhhh...We don't want to delay our schedule, do we?"

Real slick trent, reaal sliiiiick

"OHMYGOSH! YOU'RE RIGHT!"

And with that, we were on our way to where ever twilight was taking me

"So Twi, Where are we going now?" I was testing the waters to see if we were ready for nicknames.

"We're heading to Rarity's Boutique, we need to see if she can fit you some proper cloths."

It would be nice to get something other than my ratty, under garments.

"Alright, sounds good, I need new cloths anyway..."

We arrived not to shortly after we left the extremely awkward confrontation with the Apple's.

"Ok Trent, you just wait out here. I'm going to go talk with Rarity about our matters. I will be back out in a bit, and try not to get into too much trouble? Please?"

"No promises..."

Twilight proceeded to enter the boutique, rolling her eyes while doing so.

About 1 minute passed before I was approached by 3 little...fillies? I mean, that's what a little mare is called on earth, so maybe same thing goes here? What ever. One was a little orange pegasus with a purple mane, not too different from Rainbow Dash's, a white unicorn with a pink and purple mane, and a yellow one, that looked like applejack, with a red mane and a big bow tied into it. They didn't say anything, they just stood and stared.

"Caaaaan I help you?" I asked

"What are you?!" The little white unicorn asked, her voice cracking.

"A big scary alien, now run along little ones..."

"Hey! we're not afraid of anything!" Spat the little orange and purple pegasus.

"Yeah! Aint' nothin' too big to handle for the..." They paused

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!"

God damn, just like the pink one from the cake shop, except stereo.

"...The what now?" I asked, quite puzzled on their purpose.

"We will try anything to get our cutie marks, and we're not afraid to try anything!" Spoke the orange one again.

"What in the hell are Cutie Marks?"

"Wha' they're what symbolize our special talents, and if ya' didn't notice, we have blank flanks!" Spoke up the little yellow one again.

So that's what those markings meant...huh

"Well I can help you get your cutie marks, ya'no..."

"WHAT? HOW! TELL US!" They all shouted in unison.

Oh this was gonna be great...
