Wow, that lunch with Pinkie was amazing! I never thought hay would taste that good... I need to get some meat though, all I have for protein is nuts. It'll be nice to get a shower, though it seems like I have been bathed... Wonder if Fluttershy did that. Ah well, I still should do it myself.

I walk into the bathroom after easily manipulating my magic and feeling for the locks requirement. I take my clothes off, and begin to shower.

I felt something with Pinkie today.. Actual companionship. A true friendship. I've never felt something like that. I just hope my dumb brain doesn't turn this into a loving relationship. I don't think I'm ready to be with a pony, that and Celestia forbade it with the ONLY ONE THAT TREATS ME REALLY WELL! Well, and the others. But they are more like friends and those I go to just talk to... Pinkie is different, I go to her because I actually plan to. I will have to visit Fluttershy some more after her taking care of me.

I get out of the shower, pushing most of my shower thoughts behind me and begin to dry myself off.

I wonder if Twilight figured out that I'm up and walking again, I'm surprised I haven't gotten a visit.

At that moment, as if fate itself wanted to smite me with all of their power combined, a flash of purple light appears in the room and Twilight along with it. She begins to try and talk to me, holding a notebook and feather pen, but stops instantly once she notices I'm naked and drying myself off. I then get the most evil idea.

"What? Never seen a naked human before 'Twily'? Want to get a closer look?" I say with a grin, stepping closer to Twilight until my pelvis was less than a foot from her face.

Her face instantly turns red. "I'll be back later, sorry for the intrusion Devan." I hear her meekly say and then disappear in another purple flash of light.

Easy as pie.

________________________________________________________________

After cleaning the clothes with the spell Rarity taught me, I dressed myself and headed out to start my jog. The sun was somewhat setting, creating a beautiful orange glow on the snowy area. As I start my jog into the town, heading towards the outskirts of Ponyville.

It's beautiful here, and so far the beings here aren't too bad. What a wonderful world...

As I jogged along the outskirts of Ponyville, I noticed I was a bit more sore during my jog than usual and decided to sit down on a stump on the northern side of the village, towards Whitetail Wood.

I must need to get my muscles back in order, this wasn't such a pain to do before.

I stare off at Ponyville and watch the ponies going about their business. I even see Thunderlane flying completely fine above the town. After doing this for a few minutes I realize that I have been smiling this whole time. The sun was a bit lower now, just barely under the horizon which cast a shadow over almost everything. Lights sprung up throughout the small town which lit up the smiling faces of the ponies that lived there. This moment started to make me emotional, until a familiar and way too recently seen purple light flashes in front of me. This time however, Twilight is covering her eyes.

"Uhm, Devan? Are you clothed this time? I'm sorry about last time, I'm not too good at this spell yet and I just thought of you so it just took me to you and put me in a safe space. If I knew you were in the bathroom, I would not have teleported to you at that moment. Please forgive me!" Twilight says in a very formal and quick tone, bowing slightly after saying what she had to say.

I sigh and walk over to an obviously emotional and scared Twilight, and kneel down next to her, removing her hoof from covering her eyes.

"I'm sorry for doing what I did. That probably made you feel awkward and kind of creeped out huh? If you have any questions I will answer them now. I assume this is what that is about, but before I do I need to write a small letter." I say, taking a piece of paper I always keep in my pocket for small emergencies.

I write on the letter using the quill that Celestia gave me, asking a simple question. The letter flies in a puff of green fire and Twilight stares with amazement at it, almost opening her mouth to ask an obvious question, but remained quiet. A letter returns within a minute back through the quill and out the end onto my hand. I read over the letter with the simple reply of 'Yes'.

"Alright, ask away! I'll give you five this time." I say with a smile.

The amount of size her eyes grew in that twilight evening would challenge even the most wide-eyed anime girls. Immediately a notebook materializes beside her, showing the same page she was on before along with added information in the form of notes around the diagrams.

"What do you sound like in your language?" she asks, eyes still aglow.

Huh, I wonder what I do sound like to them.. Welp, might as well take it off and see.

I take off my magical necklace and place it in my pocket.

"Well, how do I sound?" I say in the most normal voice I could make.

Almost instantly Twilight looked up at me with a strange expression, her ears folding in and stretching out in an attempt to understand my voice. She then nods and makes a short noise, moving her hoof from her mouth outwards.

More I assume? Alright...

"The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." I continue, remembering a phrase using each letter of my alphabet.

Her ears perk up and bend downwards again, and she begins to write on her notebook on a new page. I put my necklace back on and wait for her to be done. After she finishes writing, about a paragraph or so, she lets out a sigh.

"Completely gibberish. I've never heard anything like that before, or even close to it. Even with some tribes of monkey-folk that we do know that are literate and have their own language, that comes no where near to what they sound like. You will have to write down your alphabet for me later." Twilight says with a bit of frustration.

"The language I use was created over a thousand years before I learned it. Things change over time, it may just be that the beings that resemble us in this world just haven't gone far enough yet." I say with a shrug.

"Alright... What are your alignments? I assume you can at least use basic magic, and that Princess Celestia would have done such a test on you like she did on me." she says getting her quill ready again.

Hmm.. Celestia did just say I could talk about my magic after I sent her that letter asking if I could do so. Apparently Twilight already knew I was learning some, but I wonder if she knows from who? Probably not considering I'm not being tested right now, not that I would do well after the last day I used magic and this recovery time...

"I suppose I can let you know. It's Air, Earth and slightly Dark. At least that is what Princess Celestia told me." I reply.

Twilight begins to write down said alignments, and then looks up in surprise. "Three alignments? Like me? You have potential Devan! I can't wait to see what you can do, but that's for another time." she says with a gleeful tone.

Fuck, can't wait for that to screw up my body more...

"Alright, that's two questions, three more! Let's see... Oh! You said that on your world, no magic existed and that you had advanced in technology. Can you give a few examples from different areas? Let's say... Homes, transportation and battle." Twilight says, eager to absorb information.

That's a very interesting question.. Welp, she asked. I'll be sure to be descriptive.

"Homes are usually powered by electricity. I've noticed that some things in this world seem to be too, though I assume it's magic. We channel electricity through metals in order to use that energy to power objects such a lighting fixtures, televisions and other various things. Standardized cooling and heating is also applicable to most homes that can afford it. As for transportation, most humans have multiple ways to travel besides just walking. There are bicycles, cars and planes. Gasoline powered vehicles and machines that allow us to travel more quickly on the ground, underwater and even by air." I say, trying to cover points the best I can.

Twilight seems to be frantically writing, so I let her catch up. When she finishes writing she nods again and I get to the last topic.

"Our world is a violent one. I will not go into the details of what we have made for battles and wars, but I will say that we excelled in it. Machines that can kill from extremely long distances and can be made easily. We even have build weapons that can destroy areas larger than the distance from Everfree to Canterlot if not more so. Humans became a species dedicated to power, and those that have it thrive. It is sad really, we leave behind those that cannot make it due to their situation at birth instead of what they want to do in life. All in all, my species mostly sucks." I say with a firm tone, making sure she realizes that humans aren't a species to think is cute or nice.

Twilight gives me a look that is a mix of horror and sadness.

"Right.. Well thank you for your honest answer Devan. I'm here if you ever need somepony to talk to. As for my fourth question, I'd like to know how you feel about your time here in Ponyville and this world in general. I was going to ask something else, but after what you told me of your world... I want to know how you feel about ours." Twilight says in a somewhat somber tone.

"Hah, that's it? Well so far I love this world. The skies aren't littered with pollution, at least in this area. The beings here aren't selfish and cruel, as far as I've seen. Magic exists here which, by the way, trumps technology any day. All in all, this world makes me happy." I say with a warm smile.

Twilight gives me a look of happiness and sympathy before shuffling through her notebook for the last question. After a minute she stops on a page and stares at a specific section for a bit, hesitating to ask it.

"Can you... Tell me about your life in the other world?" Twilight says with hesitation.

I don't want to think about that anymore. I have enough nightmares as is.

"No." I say flatly. "Not yet"

A visible wince occurs on Twilights face as she nods and moves on."How about your favorite things? Some of the girls wanted to know and it'd be useful for future reference. Specifically.. Favorite sweet food, regular food, color, drink and activity."

I have a feeling Pinkie Pie asks this more so than the others, but hey, whatever. I'll give you your answers ya book centered purple unicorn.

"Favorite sweet food huh? I'd say ice cream cake. Unfortunately for you, my favorite regular food is a meat. Since you asked, it's a Indian-style chicken kebab. Which is basically just chicken cooked with some spicy flavoring and whatnot. I'm sure there's probably some part of your world where it might exist. My favorite color is turquoise and my drink is anything ginger related. Now I believe I have seen some video games here, but not what I am used to. That would be my favorite activity. Though I suppose now a days it would be using magic." I say, correcting myself.

After another minute or two of writing down what I said and some side notes, she decides to close her notebook. "Thank you Devan. I understand it must be hard to talk about some of these things. Like I said before, if you need anything please come to me. I'll always have an ear to listen if you want to talk." Twilight says after placing her hoof on my shoulder and giving me a smile.

I give her a grin which makes her seem confused. "Why thank you, but I didn't say this was for free Twilight, I do want something in return." I say with a somewhat evil tone.

Book horse visibly gulps as I loom over her menacingly.

Time for some fun.

Author's Note

Now, I've seen a lot of different maps on the locations of places. But as noted in this picture that is official, Granny Smith is holding up a map that indicates Everfree to the southwest, the Apples farm to the direct west, Cloudsdale to the northwest and Canterlot to the northeast. The ONLY place that seems to be a location for Whitetail is the northwest towards cloudsdale. That is the only large collection of trees on the map besides one that seems to be a part of Everfree. Just putting it out there for clarification.
