The Protector

"So, you're telling me that you died and came to, Equestria?" Twilight asked while writing things down in her notebook "And that you're species is called humans?" She looked up from the book to look at, Aiden.

Aiden nodded "Yup, pretty much. I've just been chilling here for a few months. I'm not sure how I got here, I'm not sure how I'm alive, but I am, that's all I know." He said with a calm tone. He averted his gaze to look around at the library 'She wasn't joking, there are thousands of books here.' He thought while admiring the library 'I certainly wouldn't mind spending a few nights here, I'd love to read up on some history.' He looked at the books with a slight smile creeping onto his face.

"Can you explain to as of why you have the desire to help save ponies lives? I would've thought you would come by as the violent type." She asked with her quill ready to write down his response.

Aiden looked at her and sighed "My father, he died that same night as me." He told her while looking at the floor.

Twilight looked up at him with a sorry expression "Oh, Aiden. I'm so sorry, that must've been horrible." She took a deep breath "We can stop if you want to." She got a response quicker than expected.

"No, no, it's fine. We can keep going." Aiden waited for her to ready her quill before speaking "My dad always encouraged me to always do the right thing, which is the main reason I joined the military. I was known in my home town as a law abiding citizen and I was friends with everyone. When I came to, Equestria I was lost, but I still had my personality. I wandered off into town on the same night I arrived, and I saw a pony being threatened, I don't know, I just... Helped, I did what I thought was right." Aided looked up at her and smiled "I did what I do best, protect and serve the ones in need of help." He finished with the same expression.

Twilight smiled kindly "That's so sweet of you. I'm sure your father would be proud of your heroic actions." She finished writing down what he said before looking up at him "I'm sure the princess is going to love meeting you. I'm sure she won't be as nervous as before since you're actually good hearted." She closed her notebook and placed it on her desk.

Aiden smiled "She doesn't have anything to worry about, I only wish to bring good to this world. Hopefully after she meets me then I'll get some sort of citizenship." He said with a small bit of hope in his voice.

Twilight looked at him and smiled "Don't worry, you and her will get along just fine." She sat back down in the chair placed in front of him "I'm just curious to as of how she will employ you, surely she would have to put you into some form of special forces like my brother." She said while getting comfy in her seat.

Aiden cleared his throat "surely I'm not that big of a deal. I'm not really sure about going back into some sort of military." He said while looking down at his watch.

Twilight noticed him looking at the watch, she looked at it with curiosity "What's that?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Aiden looked back up at her "This? It's just my watch, I'm just looking to see what time it is." He said before looking back down at it.

Twilight smiled "That's neat, it's nice to see our worlds have similar devices."

Aiden looked up from his watch and over to the books "Those books, exactly how much information do they contain about this place?"

Twilight perked up "They have lots of information about, Equestria! Maybe after you meet the princess you could learn more about the land."

Aiden nodded "Good, I'll certainly need to." He said with a interested tone.

Twilight yawned "I suppose I could show you to your room now. It's starting to get really late and tomorrow will be a busy day" she said while standing up.

Aiden nodded and stood up as well "Lead the way." He signaled for her to continue.

Twilight walked up the stairs and down the hall of the second floor, she came to a room beside the stairs that lead up to her loft. She turned to, Aiden "Here it is, if you need me then you can find me up in my loft. Goodnight, Aiden." She said while turning around.

"You too." Aiden turned to the door before opening it.

The room was revealed, it contained of a twin sized bed, a small closet, a nightstand sitting next to the bed, a desk on the farthest away wall, and a clock facing opposite of the bed. The walls were dark blue and it was lightly dimmed by a window hanging above the bed.

Aiden closed the door behind him before walking over to the bed, he sat down on it and smiled softly when he felt that it was much more comfortable than his bed back at his home. He took off his clothes and tossed them on the ground before sliding under the sheets, he smiled when he felt the chilled pillow press against his face when he laid his head down on it, everything felt much better than living in the forest.

Aiden blinked a few times before resting his eyes, he instantly fell asleep at the comfort of the bed.

Twilight walked into, Aiden's room "It's time to wake up." She said before looking to the bed where he should be resting. She widened her eyes to see Aiden not there, she panicked and ran downstairs to hopefully see he was there.

Twilight looked around the tree in hopes of finding, Aiden but he was no where to be found. She sat down on her couch and took a few deep breaths "Okay, Twilight no need to panick, we just need to find out where he went." She got up and walked back up the stairs to his room.

Twilight looked at his bed and saw his bag was still resting against one of the bed frames legs "Okay, he left some of his stuff behind, so that must mean h-" she was cut off by the mystery man in question.

"I'm still here? Yeah, no need to worry." Aiden said while walking past, Twilght to his bag.

"Where'd you go?!?" Twilight asked with worry.

Aiden pulled out his long sleeved shirt and a pair of blue jeans from the bag "Everyday at four in the morning I go and exercise." He stated while taking off his T-shirt and putting on the long sleeve.

Twilight watched him change "But it's eight in the morning." She said after he finished putting on his shirt.

Aiden looked at her for a moment "And?" He said with a raised eyebrow.

"You trained for four hours in the cold?" Twilight asked with a little bit of surprise present in her voice.

Aiden stared at her before he started to change into his blue jeans "Yeah, I don't see a problem with that." He stated after he slipped his belt into the loops on the jeans.

"That's kind of extreme, when it's still dark out it gets down to at least thirty degrees." Twilight stated with a bit of concern.

"I'm fine, I've been doing it for most of my time here in, Equestria. Switching to a different topic, when do I get to meet the princess." He asked while a walking towards the door.

Twilight followed behind him "That's the thing, she wrote back to me early this morning and said she wants to meet you as soon as possible."

Aiden walked down the steps with a smile "I'm ready to leave whenever you are." He said before his foot landed on the bottom step.

Twilight smiled "You can't go and see the, Princess looking like that." She stated while giggling.

Aiden turned to her with a confused expression "What do you mean?" He asked with curiosity.

"You need to take a shower and while you're in there I'll wash your clothes for you." Twilight stated with a smile.

Aiden realized that he hasn't had a shower ever since he's gotten here, so of course he must stink pretty bad. "Oh, yeah. You're right, I need to look more proper." He admitted while taking his shirt off.

Twilight looked at him "What are you doing?" She asked with a slight blush.

"Giving you my clothes." Aiden responded while dropping his shirt and starting to take off his pants.

"B-but, couldn't you just give them to me after you covered yourself up with a towel or something?" Twilight responded while staring at him taking all of his clothes off.

Aiden shrugged "Well, I don't really care if you see me or not." He said before dropping his boxers, revealing his private parts.

Twilight blushed profusely and swallowed hard.

"You can come and get me when you're done." Aiden said before walking up the stairs.

Twilight sat there with a dumbfounded look "Wow, he's definitely going to have to get used to how things work around here." She said before picking up his clothing. She sighed and walked to the door that leads down to her basement, she walked down the steps and levitated the clothes into her washing machine she has, she then turned it on with her magic before walking back upstairs.

Twilight walked over to her desk and started to write letters to her friends, because she wanted them to meet, Aiden as well. She wrote down that her friends need to meet her at the castle.

"Spike!" Twilight called out her assistants name.

Spike came slowly walking down the stairs, he appeared to have been disturbed from his slumber. "Yes, Twilight?" He asked when he arrived. He was greeted with five different scrolls and a order to send them all off to her friends. Spike groaned and belched a green flame that burned the scrolls up and sent them off to the others. "Anything else?" He asked, obviously wanting to return to a deep sleep.

Twilight shook her head "No, that'll be it, Spike. Thank you." She said with a thankful smile.

Spike nodded and walked back up the stairs to his bed.

Twilight grabbed her book she had been reading earlier and flipped back to the page she left off of, the book consisted of ancient equestrian species facts.

Aiden sat in the shower, letting the warm water his his back as he let his head dangle, making his view go towards the floor of the shower. The shower felt great against his skin, especially at first when it rinsed all of the dirt and loose filth off of his skin. He eventually grabbed the bar of soap and began to scrub himself down, he could feel the soap work into his pores and rid all of the bad hygiene from his body. He rinsed himself off and felt the grease and dirt fall off of his body, he then grabbed the shampoo and squirted the wash into his hand before working it into his hair, he slowly felt the oil slowly go away as the shampoo did its job.

After, Aiden cleaned his body he let the water hit his skin a few more times before turning the handle to cut it off. Aiden grabbed a towel and dryed himself off before wrapping it around his waist. He stepped out of the shower and walked over to the mirror, he wiped the moisture off of the mirror and looked at himself.

Aiden had a bushy blonde beard growing on his face, he also has long hair dangling in front of his eyes, but his face still had that masculine look to it. He looked over his body and noticed the time training paid off, the sun had tanned him everywhere on his body, he had a six pack that's able to be noticed easily, his biceps were bulkier and you could faintly see the bulge of the veins in his skin.

Aiden looked down to see there were various supplies on the sink, there was a razor, shaving cream, scissors, a toothbrush, hair gel, and other miscellaneous objects. He picked up the shaving cream and applied it to his skin, which proved a little difficult due to the hair. Aiden grabbed the razor and slowly worked it along his chin, slowly cutting the beard off of his face. After he got done doing that he grabbed the pair of scissors, he knew how to cut hair, his mother had taught him since she used to do it for a living.

Aiden slowly clipped the hair off of his head, just to the right specifications, he did it slowly since it proved to be quite difficult when doing it to yourself. He got done with front side and moved to the back, to which he had to awkwardly place his head and arms.

Aiden got done doing that and smiled to see how it turned out, he had given himself a Caesar styled haircut. He picked up the gel and spiked his hair in the front.

Aiden rubbed his chin and smiled before leaving the bathroom, he walked out into the hallway and got goosebumps due to the sudden temperature change. He shrugged it off and walked down the stairs, to which he was greeted with a familiar face deep in a book. He walked over and tapped the book, surprising the purple unicorn. "Are my clothes done?" He asked with a plain expression.

Twilight perked up and smiled "They should be" she then noticed his new look and stared in awe "You look a lot better! What'd you do?" She asked with curiosity in her voice.

Aiden chuckled "I took a shower and cut a lot of my hair off." He finished with a kind smile.

Twilight smiled "I like it. Let me go and get your clothes and then you can change." She said while placing the book down and getting up.

Aiden watched her as she walked down into the basement. He sighed and look down at the book, Twilight was reading before picking it up, he saw that she was reading about ancient species and nothing relevant to him appeared to be in the book, he put it down and turned around when he heard the basement door open back up.

"Here are your clothes." Twilight said as she levitated him the outfit "and please go to your room and change, I feel uncomfortable with you changing in front of me." She stated.

Aiden shrugged before taking the clothes "Will do." He said before walking up the stairs to his room to change.

Twilight sat back down on the couch and began to read again, highly interested in the facts it showed.

Moments later, Aiden walked back down the stairs with the same outfit on as before, except this time he didn't smell or look like a homeless man. He stood in front of, Twilght "Can we go now?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Twilight looked over him and smiled "Yup, I think we're good now." She said before getting up.

Aiden put on his shoes and looked at, Twilight "Lead the way." He said while gesturing for her to go ahead.

Twilight nodded and opened the door before leaving the library with, Aiden behind her. She walked towards the train station so they can buy the tickets and then head off to the castle.

Aiden walked beside, Twilght and noticed it was fairly still early, but there were still a good many ponies out and about. He recieved lots of looks and even a few looks that looked similar to someone that met a celebrity, he turned to, Twilight "I guess it's not hard to identify me?" He asked while bending down to be at level with her ear.

Twilight shook her head "Nope, you're pretty much the only one that matches the description." She stated with her eyes set on the train station.

Aiden sighed and walked with her 'Welp, this is gonna be fun.' he thought sarcastically.

Aiden sat beside, Twilght with a confused expression on his face, he found it kind of odd that, Twilght told them who he was and they instantly put him in first class seating for free. The ticket guy literally couldn't talk to, Aiden with a straight face or without studdering, is he really that big of a deal? 'Sure I saved a few lives, sure I'm a new creature, sure the princess wants to personally meet me, but really? Is that not normal here?' He thought to himself for a few moments.

Twilight turned to him and smiled "Whatcha thinking about?" She asked.

Aiden shrugged "I really don't see what makes me such a big deal, I'm just a guy doing the right thing." He stated while turning to her.

Twilight giggled "You've saved over a hundred ponies now, that's a pretty big accomplishment."

Aiden frowned slightly "Again, just a guy doing the right thing." He stated again.

"Not a lot of ponies do the right thing everyday." Twilight responded.

Aiden sighed "I guess so." He said before looking out the window. He saw that they were currently going through a tunnel, but after a few more moments he saw the train reveal a town that was marvelous.

"That's, Canterlot. The Royal city." Twilight spoke while, Aiden stared in awe.

Aiden saw the houses were beautifully constructed, it reminded him of living in a rich part of a city. He noticed most of the ponies that walked around had some form of clothing on, unlike the, Ponyville residents. He looked out further and saw the monstrous sized castle hanging over the city. "Damn." Was all he had to say.

Twilight giggled before feeling the train stop.

Aiden realized what was going on and stood up, he stretched his legs and arched his back, he smiled when he felt his back pop, releasing all of the stress that was built up in between the disks in his back. He turned to face, Twilight and noticed she was staring at him with a smile "That's just slightly creepy." Aiden told her.

Twilight raised an eyebrow "What'd I do?" She asked with innocence.

"You were just staring at me with a smile as I was popping a few bones." Aiden explained.

Twilight realized "Oh, sorry." She said before walking past him.

Aiden chuckled "Don't be sorry, just don't do it again." He said one of his few barely wise words.

Twilight giggled and exited the train cart with, Aiden following close behind her.

Aiden squinted his eyes when the bright sun shined over him, he let his eyes slowly adjust before seeing the train station. There were ponies everywhere, and it seemed like as if about every single one of them noticed, Aiden.

Twilight tugged on his pants leg and got him to follow her "we don't want to attract to much attention, so we need to hurry before a guard sees you." She stated while she picked up speed.

Aiden nodded in agreement and hurried up as well.

As they walked through the town, Aiden looked at the structures of the houses, he noticed they were built with professional grade materials, he saw that every house had a high budget of money put into them while they were being built. He looked to see that, Twilight was leading him to walk up to a hill that lead up to the castle.

Twilight turned to him while they walked "I hope you do good with inclines, because this is gonna be pretty steep." She warned him.

Aiden smiled before nodding "Don't worry, I'll be fine." He said as they started to walk up the hill.

After the hill started to get steep, Aiden picked up his pace and walked up the hill like as if it were to be flat ground. He turned and saw that, Twilight was starting to get exhausted and she needed to have a breather. He stopped for her to catch her breath and while doing so he got a little impatient, so he groaned and picked up, Twilight, making her jump in surprise. He ignored her commands of putting her down and walked up the hill with her in his arms.

"Put me down!"

"No."

"Put me down now!"

"No."

After a few seconds, Twilight sighed and put on her puppy dog eyes "Put me down, please?" She asked innocently.

"No." Aiden answered with no hesitation.

"What?!? That works on everypony!" She said before huffing and crossing her arms.

"...." Aiden didn't respond.

"So... You're just gonna carry me all the way up this hill?" Twilight asked.

"Yup."

"Do you honestly think you're gonna be able to do that?" She asked with a slight smirk.

"Yeah."

Twilight laughed "Yeah, we'll see about that, not even Rainbow or Applejack can do that without getting exhausted, and that's without carrying a pony!" She smiled at the thought of seeing, Aiden out of breath.

A few moments later.

Aiden and Twilght stood next to each other while staring at the castle entrance.

"I can't comprehend how you just walked up the hill with no effort." Twilight said in defeat.

"Well, I trained, I ate foods that supported good cardio, I was in the military, I've bee-" he got cut off.

"Okay, okay! I get it." She accepted defeat.

Aiden smiled and followed Twilght after she started to walk.

Aiden took the time to look at the castle close up. Two words he thought 'It's huge.' He thought to himself when he found his train of thought after losing it to the ginormous piece of art.

Aiden got pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a masculine voice speak "Are you, Aiden?" A pony in armor said while, Twilght stood beside him.

Aiden nodded "Yeah, why?" He asked.

"You have the permission of the princess to enter the castle." The guard let the two pass through.

Aiden stared at him for a moment before entering. He got next to, Twilight "They look like dipshits while wearing that silly armor." He spoke his mind.

Twilight looked at him "I personally like it, especially now that my brother is the captain." She stated.

Aiden shook his head "It must be hot as hell in those things." He said while walking.

Twilight nodded "Mhm."

Aiden looked around the interior of the castle and saw the beautiful marble flooring and the heavenly white walls, everything was perfect. The halls they walked down were carpeted with red carpet, the walls had various paintings of ancient ponies.

Aiden snapped to, Twilight when she said his name "Aiden, we're at the throne room doors, and before we go in I want to remind you of what I told you when I explained how to behave in front of a Royal family member." She looked at him with a look that reminded him of a teacher.

Aiden smiled and nodded "Yup, bow and speak formally, finish your sentences with ma'am every time I speak."

Twilight nodded "Just be very respectful." She said before turning to the guards in front of the doors "We are here to discuss about, The Protector." She stated.

The guards eyes flinched a little before they instantly granted access "The princess has been expecting you." They opened the doors and revealed the throne.

Aiden stepped inside casually and looked around, he noticed the room had stained windows that had... Twilight and some other ponies? He scratched his head and put the pieces together 'It must be because of the Elements of Harmony.' He thought to himself.

"Twilight, me and your friends have been expecting you two." A formal feminine voice spoke.

Aiden slowly turned to face the source, he saw a big white pony sitting in a red throne chair, and five other ponies standing next to her. 'Wait... We've met before haven't we? But where at?' He pushed off the thought and corrected his posture.

Twilight walked up to the pony and hugged her, which made, Aiden squint his eyes.

"It's nice to see you again, Princess." Twilight said as she let go of the white pony.

"You too, Twilght Sparkle." She responded to her.

Twilight hugged and greeted the other five ponies before turning around to face, Aiden which who was in the middle of the room, which was kind of far with how big the room is.

"It is nice to see the mysterious creature in front of me." The white pony spoke with her still formal voice.

Aiden looked at her "My name's, Aiden." He told her plainly.

The princess nodded "Okay, Aiden. I am, Princess Celestia, and I need to ask you some questions about who you are." She stated.

Twilight gave, Aiden a stare that told him to be respectful.

Aiden swallowed "Okay" he paused and forced out "Ma'am."

Celestia smiled "Why are you saving ponies?" She asked.

"Because it's the right thing to do, because I want to honor my fathers whishes, because I don't want anyone to go through what I went through." He sighed "I don't want to be a failure." He forced out again "Ma'am."

Celestia was surprised at the response "That's... That was unexpected, but I respect that." She stated.

Aiden nodded "Thank you, ma'am." He kept his posture straight.

Celestia smiled "Do you feel like you could live with ponies? If yes then why?" She asked her next question.

Aiden nodded "Yes, I can live with ponies, because they have a lot of the same characteristics of my species, many ponies have a good heart and they accept anything with open arms, like how, Twilight accepted me with no hesitation. Ma'am." He stated.

Celestia smiled "It's nice to see how you feel." She said. "How would you describe yourself?" She asked.

"I'm out of the ordinary. I don't take anything personally, I usually give all that I can, and take as little as possible. I am here to protect and serve, not to harm and disrespect." He gave a few words that he feels that describe him.

Celestia nodded "Would you like to be one of my citizens?" She asked her final question.

Aiden cringed at the way she worded it "Yes, I want to be your citizen, ma'am." He forced out.

"I don't feel like I need to ask anymore questions. You seem to be a very kind and smart individual, Aiden. I just have to ask these questions for any immigrants in, Equestria. I appreciate you being formal but you can stop now, I'd like to talk to you more like as if you were to be a friend." She explained.

Aiden nodded and stopped being tense, he then walked closer to the throne.

Celestia smiled "What do you plan on doing in, Equestria, Aiden?" she asked curiously.

"I suppose I'll try my best to fit in but yet at the same time to try and protect as much as possible." Aiden answered honestly.

"That's good. I'll sign some paperwork and get you your citizenship after we get done here, and as far as careers go, what do you want to exactly do?" She asked curiously.

Aiden shrugged "I'm not sure to be honest." He told her.

Celestia smiled "Would you be interested in being apart of the guard?" She asked the main question.

Aiden thought for a few moments 'I was in the military before, but here I outsmarted them, would I really want to go to war with low level IQ ponies? Or would I rather work on my own and protect the citizens of, Equestria? Maybe even possibly get some help from the Elements?' He rubbed his chin before speaking "No, thank you, Princess." He gave his answer to her.

The princess smiled kindly "I see... Well, I hope you the best of luck finding a career." She said with a kind tone.

Aiden nodded "Thank you, Princess." He turned to, Twilight with a smile.

Twilight returned the smile "I guess you are a equestrian now?" She asked, waiting for the official answer.

"Yup, I'm gonna become a citizen" Aiden said proudly.

Twilight smiled wide "That's great! Now we can reveal you to everypony!" She said with happiness.

Aiden chuckled "I'll leave that up to, Celestia."

Twilight nodded and spoke to, Celestia "When are you gonna reveal, Aiden, Princess?" She asked.

Celestia smiled "I suppose today, I'll just have to call for a conference, surely the media will be all over that." She explained.

Twilight wore her smile wide and turned to, Aiden "Even though we just met yesterday, I can already tell you'll make a great addition to, Ponyville, and as one of my friends."

Aiden smiled and nodded "Good, it didn't seem to take a lot to gain my citizenship, just be nice and you'll have no problems."

Twilight nodded "I want to introduce you to my friends, they're the others that were locked in the room with me." She explained. She got the attention of the others and brought them closer to, Aiden.

A pink pony jumped up in, Aiden's face "HeymynameisPinkiePieandwe'vemetbeforebutiwaslockeinsideofyourrooman-" Aiden stopped listening about halfway through her greeting. After she finished talking, Aiden finally introduced himself.

"It's nice to meet you, Pinkie Pie. My name is, Aiden." Aiden introduced himself

Pinkie smiled wide "I heard you're gonna be staying in, Ponyville! So that means I need to get a party going after we leave here!" She still talked fast but nearly not as fast as before.

Aiden chuckled "If you really want to then I don't care. Whatever makes you happy." He said with a smile.

Pinkie nodded "Alright! I'll go and organize it right now!" She appeared to disappear in thin air, which made, Aiden go wide eyed.

"Don't ya worry about her, partner. Pinkie can be random sometimes." A orange pony said while walking up to him "My names, Applejack." She said while sticking her hoof out for a shake.

Aiden shook her hoof with a good grip "You can call me, Aiden." He stated, he looked down at her and noticed she was surprised by something.

Applejack looked at him "I haven't had a pony match my grip for some time now. I'm sure maybe someday I could use your help around the farm, judging by how big you are." She smiled nicely.

Aiden chuckled "I'll come by if I'm ever in need of some work." He stated.

Applejack smiled "It's nice to meet ya, Aiden." She said before turning back around.

A blue pony squinted at, Aiden before introducing herself "My names, Rainbow Dash." She said with a bit of hatred in her voice.

Aiden raised an eyebrow before shrugging "My name's, Aiden." He looked her with a smile.

Rainbow didn't speak anymore, she walked away back to the others.

Aiden shrugged and smiled when he saw a white unicorn walk up to him.

"Hello, darling. My name is, Rarity." Rarity said with a smile present on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Rarity. My name is, Aiden." Aiden said with a smile.

"Quite the gentleman I see, but you can just call me, Rarity. If you ever need any sort of clothes built for you then you can come and visit me, I'm always open for friends" Rarity showed her generosity.

Aiden smiled "Thank you, Rarity, I'll be sure to get some clothes made by you when I'm in the need of some new ones." He stated.

Rarity smiled and went to the others.

Aiden thought he was done until he saw a little timid looking pony hesitantly walk up.

Aiden kneeled down to meet the pink haired pony "Hello, my name's, Aiden." He said while looking at her.

"U-umm, m-my name's flutter-" the rest of the sentence was hard to hear.

"I'm sorry, but can you repeat that? I couldn't hear you." he asked her.

The pony took in a light breath "My name's, Fluttershy." She said, barely loud enough.

Aiden smiled "It's nice to meet you, Fluttershy. I'm gonna be staying in, Ponyville, so if you ever need help with something then don't hesitate to come and find me." He offered her his help anytime.

Fluttering seemed to lighten up a little "T-thank you, that's kind of you to say." She said timidly. "U-umm... I'm gonna go and talk to the others now... If that's okay?" She asked.

Aiden chuckled "You can do whatever you want." He said with a smile.

At hearing this she slowly walked over to the others.

Aiden stood up and looked at the group of ponies, he saw they were all talking about something, but, Aiden didn't interfere since it'd be rude of him to do. He shrugged and sat down on one of the steps that led up to the throne chair, he looked around and noticed, Celestia wasn't there anymore 'She must've went to do that paperwork for me.' He thought to himself.

Aiden sat there for a few moments before hearing someone sit down beside him, he turned to look and was greeted by, Twilght.

"What're you doing over here all by yourself? You should be enjoying the company of other ponies." Twilight said with a smile and a little bit of concern on her face.

Aiden shrugged "I don't know, I just wanted you guys to enjoy your time. By proven research, it shows that friends feel a little more awkward when there is a stranger involved in the activity." He gave a bit of knowledge.

Twilight sighed "But I want you to become a permanent friend, I don't want you to only be there a few times we hangout, I want you to be there all of the time we hangout." She said with a kind smile.

Aiden turned to her and smiled "Do you really want me to?" He asked.

Twilight nodded "Yes, I really want you to." She said before standing up "C'mon, I think you'll like what we're talking about."

Aiden smiled, got up, and walked over to the group of friends with, Twilight.

"And then I did saw, Spitfire fly past me super duper fast! It was awesome!" Rainbow finished her little story she was telling, she then saw the human joining in.

"Oh, that's cool." Aiden tried to fit in.

"You probably don't even know what I'm talking about." Rainbow stated.

Aiden shrugged "I'm just trying to fit in." He said with a chuckle.

"Nopony's laughing." Rainbow stated plainly.

Aiden's smile faltered "Oh, uhh... Sorry." He said silently.

Twilight got irritated "What's your deal, Rainbow? He's just trying to have fun and you ruin it!" She said with some anger in her voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry I don't like the guy that trapped me in a cage." She replied plainly.

"First off, it was a room, and second off, we invaded his home! Heck, he even apologized for doing that!" Twilight argued.

"Oh, so a 'I'm sorry' means he's a good pony?" Rainbow replied.

Twilight shook her head "No, him saving hundreds of ponies from possibly losing their lives makes him a good pony!" She shot back.

Rainbow tried to find the words but couldn't think of anything "Whatever, I'm out of here." She said before leaving the room.

Aiden rubbed his neck in awkwardness "Ya know, I would've rather of just left than have that happen." He said to, Twilight.

"No, you shouldn't have some ungrateful pony disrespect you after all of the things you've done for us. Just because she got embarrassed from not being able to be the awesome pony she claims to be doesn't mean you're a bad guy. Don't let anypony push you around." Twilight told him.

Aiden wore a concerned look "I'll do the right thing, Twilight, and the right thing in that situation was to let her build up her bad karma and let me build up my good karma. If I were you I'd be the bigger pers- pony and say I'm sorry, because that just means faith will be in your favor." He explained to her.

Twilight looked at him with sadness "But I defended you...." She stated.

Aiden smiled "And I will repay you for that, thank you for doing that. But please, go and say you're sorry, it will work out in your favor, I promise." He told her.

Twilight thought it over before smiling "Okay, I'll be the bigger pony." She said before running off to find her friend.

"Wow, you really do have a good heart." Applejack spoke.

"I try. It's sometimes best to just let someon-pony win, it'll work out in your favor." Aiden gave her his words of wisdom.

Applejack smiled "I'm gonna try that and see if it works."

"But I do agree with, Applejack, that was quite kind of you to do, have a pony be mean to you and take it, just to help a friendship, maybe you don't only just fight crime, maybe you are The Protector of everything." Rarity said.

Aiden smiled "I just want peo-ponies to be happy." He then looked to throne room door "I actually think I'm gonna go now, I really need to research more about this place." He told them.

"Ya might want to wait on, Twilight, sugar cube." Applejack stated.

Aiden shook his head "Nah, she needs to hangout with you guys without worrying about me." He said before leaving the room.

Aiden walked out into the hall way and passed by the same paintings as before, he heard, Twilight's voice talking to Rainbow nearby but he ignored it. Aiden eventually exited the castle and made his way down the hill.

Aiden got to the bottom of the hill and passed by the same buildings that he saw on his way in. Aiden stopped and realized that he didn't have any money, but he shrugged it off and settled on walking back to, Ponyville considering that it was only a few miles away.

Aiden reached the outskirts of the town, where the path to other towns began. He began to jog to his destination with very little worries.
