"I'm sorry," Ryan began, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb as he sat in a small wooden chair not three feet from Twilight, "you read what?"

Twilight lets out an annoyed sigh and closes the book she is holding. Once it was closed she set it down on a small table that rested between her and the human. "I read that, in new relationships, the couple should spend as much time together as possible. This helps them bond and get to know each other better."

He rested an elbow on his knee and propped his head up on his fist, nodding as he did so. His eyes locked onto the mare, looking over her features to see just how serious she was. "Mhm, I see. So there's only one problem here then."

She cocked her head to the side in both confusion and curiosity. To be honest, she could spot a number of problems, but he claimed to only see one. She wondered what that would be. "Would you like to tell me what that is?"

He nodded to her with a calm expression on his face. "Sure, why not. You see, the only problem I'm picking up on here is that...We are not in a relationship!" He began yelling, feeling as though his volume may just help emphasize his point. "I only met you like three days ago. One of which I was unconscious!"

Do you think she did things to us while we were literally in a 24 hour coma?

The young alicorn recoiled slightly from Ryan's sudden raise in volume. At first she thought he was going to cooperate with her and actually point out an issue that he was noticing. Bad move on her part. "Look, I know you're still adjusting to life here and all, but I need you to-"

"Excuse me, did you just say adjusting?" Against her better judgement, Twilight nodded to confirm that she indeed did say that. "No, this is not adjusting. Adjusting would be like going to a nude beach over and over until you grew comfortable enough to not throw up at after eighty year old men naked. This is far beyond adjusting. This is almost an adapt or die type of deal."

Adapt or die? Did he really think that something so bad might happen that it could kill him? And if so, why? Things here couldn't be that different from his world. But then again, he wasn't from here at all. "What would make you think that-?"

"It's a figure of speech." He replied, already knowing what she was going to ask. "Listen here, Sparkle. I am a living, breathing, sentient lifeform. I am not here to be your boy toy, and I'm sure as hell not some magical mail order boyfriend. That is not how this shit works."

He was right, Twilight thought. Here she was, trying to convince him to start dating her. And for what? So she could try to figure out if the portal was right or if she had completely botched the spell. These mental reminders brought tears to her eyes. "You're right..."

"And on top of-"

*Vinyl aggressively stopping* Wait, what?

"Hold on, what did you say?" Ryan asked, feeling as though he had just missed a step.

Twilight looked up at him with half lidded, watery eyes. "I said you're right. I brought you here against your will. I wanted to find somepony to share my life with and I was willing to do absolutely anything. I opened the portal and it showed me you. At the time I was trying to protect you from getting hurt, but to be honest, I think I might have brought you here regardless of the crash."

Ryan was at a complete loss for words. All he could do was lean back in the chair, eyes wide as he listened to her speak. "It was stupid and ignorant. I wasn't thinking about anything but my own selfish desires and I'm sorry for that. I've just been so lonely that I...That I..."

She couldn't continue anymore. Twilight buried her face into her hands and began crying right in front of the human who's life she had probably just ruined forever.

Well uh...I...God dammit! I feel like a fucking dick now!

No words came from Ryan's mouth, no actions were taken. He just sat still and watched her bawl her eyes out just a few feet from him as he tried to process what to do next.

Ass packing, fucking...cock...OH FOR FUCK SAKE! I can't take it! Just play the motherfucking boyfriend role for one day and make it stop!

He couldn't help but growl at himself for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose himself. Once his mind was somewhat settled down he rose from his seat and walked over to Twilight, who lifted her head when she heard footsteps coming closer to her.

She didn't even have a second to react as Ryan dropped down to his knees so he was about eye-level with her and wrapped his arms around her torso. Twilight's body was tense for a little while, but she soon managed to ease into returning the embrace.

As much as part of him was completely disgusted by what he was doing and screaming at him to run while he still could, he simply couldn't. He couldn't stand to see a woman cry, even if she was some kind of weird magical horse, and especially if it was his fault and she didn't deserve it. Yes, she pulled him out of his world and away from everything he knew. But, at the same time, she had also saved his life and he was treating her like garbage.

You're not helping me feel any better...

Ryan broke the hug and looked at Twilight's wet face as she sniffled a bit and stared back at him. He rolled his eyes a bit, his breathing indicating that he was still internally at war with what to do right now. "Fuck, okay. I'll play nice with you, alright." The mare's expression began to pick up, but stopped as her reaction was cut off by the human's voice. "But, it's only for today. So enjoy it while it lasts."

He released Twilight and stood up straight and tall, folding his arms behind his back and pushing up to pop his spine several times. He let out a relieved sight and relaxed his body. "Now go freshen up, we're going out tonight."

She didn't say a single word to him. Twilight just smiled and nodded before taking off to her room so she could get changed. She had been trying to find a reason to wear her new outfit and now she finally had one.

Ryan went back to his chair and took a seat, running a hand through his messy blonde hair as he tried to formulate a plan for the night to try and keep her happy.

You know, sometimes I feel like we're too nice.

"Tell me about it..."

Twenty minutes had passed since Ryan had told Twilight to freshen up and she was going nuts with doing everything she could to look perfect. She didn't know why she felt the need to make sure that every little thing was in place, it was just something she had grown accustomed to since she was a little filly.

After she had finished combing her hair she walked over to her closet and opened it, revealing numerous clothes within it and a single, full-length, mirror on one of the doors. Her mane was neatly combed and tied back into a ponytail and the new outfit Rarity made for her fit her form perfectly. The purple V-neck hugged her slim stomach and widened slightly around the waist and chest region to accommodate her figure immaculately.

She couldn't say that she understood the whole concept of skinny jeans. Sure, they were pretty comfortable, but they showed off her flank quite a bit. Twilight stared down at her rear for a moment before her eyes widened in realization. She could now say she knew why stallions loved it when mare's wore really tight clothing.

Before, she hardly even paid attention to things like this. She was always busy either with her studies or hanging out/helping her friends. But, now that she was really focusing on the clothing, she could clearly see the appeal.

Surprisingly, she liked this look. It felt new, fresh, and if she did say so herself, like she had been improved. She would have to look into more outfits like this. Something about it made her feel pretty and desirable. The only thing she was really concerned about was whether or not Ryan would like it, which confused her. The concern she had over his opinion of her seemed to grow more and more by the minute.

Twilight was pulled out of her thoughts as a knocking came from her door. Soon, after the knocking, a voice followed. "Hey, what's taking you so long? We going out or what?"

"I'll be out in a minute." She called out, taking one last look in the mirror before whispering to herself. "You can do this, Twilight. He said he would be nice, so you just have to do the same in return. Let's do this!"

Twilight closed up the closet and made her way to the door, opening it slowly to see the human standing on the other side. Her eyes quickly took in the changes that had taken place over the time she had spent getting ready.

Ryan stood there wearing a clean pair of blue jeans and a sleeveless red flannel shirt. His hair had been combed over to one side, but still held its spikey appearance.

The human's eyes locked onto Twilight and quickly scanned her body, occasionally resting on some rather inappropriate spots on her body. He was expecting to find her in another one of her uniforms, but instead was greeted with something much more appealing.

Oh dear sweet God, that body...I was being harsh earlier and very judgmental...Please disregard anything mean I have said about her at any point. They are all null and void now!

In Ryan's eyes, Twilight's body was fantastic. It was hard to tell with the whole school-girl thing going on, but this was eye candy on at least seven different levels.

She may not have the most prominent curves in the world, but she wore what she did have very well. From her moderately sized, perfectly round rear all the way to a tempting C-cup chest. He didn't know what it was about the ponytail, but the fact that it existed just added to her appearance.

A nervous blush quickly spread across Twilight's face as she watch Ryan's eyes go over her. It was starting to bother her with how much she genuinely wanted him to like the way she looked. "What do you think?"

Forcing his senses to come back to him, Ryan managed to play it cool and act as though it wasn't fazing him. "I gotta say, you're really pulling this off. I didn't think I'd ever see you in anything that didn't belong in an office at the very least."

She put her hands together, wrapping her fingers over her kncukles and rubbing her thumbs against each other. "So...you like-?"

"You're fucking breath-taking."

Don't forget heart-stopping. This is the fifth time I've had to jump start this thing in the last nine second!

Ryan's words had quickly eased Twilight's nerves, but now she was beginning to feel a bit flustered. She never thought anypony-er-anyone would ever say something so nice to her. Grated, he did swear when he said it, but it's the principle.

The human shrugged and reached out, grabbing her hand in his before leading her toward the exit. "Well, that's enough fucking around. Come on, I got the whole thing planned out and a mental checklist I'd like to get through. You just try enjoy yourself."

Ryan led the way through Ponyville. Although he didn't have the whole place as memorized as he would have liked, he still had a general idea of where many things were. He took Twilight to the arcade first, where he showed her how to play video games like a pro. They went at it until a kid by the name of Button Mash finally managed to beat him.

That fucker was hacking! He had cheat codes!!!

Next he took her into sugar cube corner for ice cream. If there is one thing that girls love, it's ice cream. [Keep that in mind when your girlfriend says she wants to go out. Alright, Gentlemen?]

During their walks around town, Twilight quickly noticed the stares that both she and Ryan were getting. It made her uncomfortable, but Ryan appeared to not care in the slightest. He just ignored them, pretending like there wasn't anything going on. She could admire that, being able to handle the judgmental eyes of others with nothing more than a simple turn of his head.

Finally, Ryan brought them to their last stop; a nice little restaurant where, in Twilight's opinion, they made the best daisy sandwiches. They sat down, ordered a small meal, and just talked for nearly an hour.

The human was a bit hesitant with the menu and the meal he had ordered. Twilight wondered what kind of things humans ate. She would have make it a point to ask him some time. Right now though, she was enjoying herself. "So there is literally no magic in your world at all?" She asked, shocked at the very idea of being somewhere with no magic.

"Nope." He simply replied. "We have things like; magicians, illusions, and stuff like that. But that's all just hat tricks and make believe stuff."

She leaned forward, pressing her chest against the table as her fascinated mind forced her to draw closer. "How does your species survive? How do they move the sun and the moon? How-?"

"Chill out there, sweetheart." Ryan said, pressing a finger to her muzzle to push her back into her seat, as she was already nearly standing. "First off, the sun and the moon move on their own. That's the power of a strong gravitational pull. Secondly, we have technology that we have built to accommodate for our short comings. I'd love to explain it all, but that's a lot of shit to go through in just one day."

The waiter who had taken their order walked over and placed their bill on the table. Both parties reach out to grab it, Ryan's hand landed over the bill while Twilight's rested on top of his. The two looked up and locked eyes for just a moment.

What the fuck is this; some cheesy ass love story? Grab the fucking paper!

Ryan pulled his arm back, keeping the bill palmed in his hand. "Back off, sweetheart. I've got this."

"Are you sure?" Twilight asked, "I don't think what passes for currency in your world will work here..."

Her voice trailed off as he pulled a small pouch out of his pocket and emptied out just enough bits to pay for the meal and even gave the waiter a 30% tip.

Twilight's jaw nearly dropped. Either humans and ponies had the same money, or he robbed somepony while he was out and about. Those were the only two things she could come up with, prompting her to question him. "How did you-?"

"I was dancing on a table in a public place with my shirt off...How else would I have gotten money?"

She slowly began putting the pieces together in her head. Anypony nearby who would have looked at her could practically see the gears in her head turning. "So you did all of that just to get money?"

"Yes and no." He began, "This mare took me there and we hung out for a while. We ordered some food, but I didn't have any money and she was short. I told her to leave and I would find a way to take care of it. After she left, I did what I do best. I used my body to my advantage; Even better than that, I knew the owner would eventually just get pissed and throw me out. That way, I would have money and not even have to pay."

Twilight watch as a shit eating grin spread across his face. As bizarre as he was, and as stupid as he acts sometimes, she had to admit that he made a very clever move. Not only that, but he knew exactly what he was doing and how to make it all work out for him. She gave the human a somewhat stern look. Perhaps he is smarter than he lets on.

Something shiny!

Ryan's head quickly jerked to the side, allowing him to see a pony offering another pony some sort of gem. Twilight soon followed his gaze, then turned her head back to him and waved a hand in front of his face.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a somewhat concerned look on her face.

He blinked a few times before turning his attention back onto her. "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked around and took notice of how dark it was. "It's getting late. We should probably head back."

Twilight inspected the area, confirming for herself that it was indeed getting late. "That's probably a good idea."

The walk back was relatively silent. Both of them became lost within their own minds, playing out how the day had gone. Everything from the games they played, to the laughs they shared, and the almost never ending waves of conversation that sparked between them. When they had gotten back to the castle Ryan walked Twilight to her room where she stopped and faced him completely.

She had a nervous look on her face, like she was expecting something to happen but wasn't sure how to go about handling it. "I uh...I had a really nice time today...Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah; I'm great, I know." He said with a cocky smile. "All jokes aside though, I had a lot of fun too. More than I was expecting, actually."

Twilight let out a short giggle, then the air around them fell into an awkward silence. "Well, I guess I'll just-"

Would you stop being a bitch and end this night properly!

Ryan reached out and grabbed one of Twilight's arms, causing her to yelp as he pulled her close to him. Once she was wrapped in his arms he firmly pressed his lips against hers and held her there.

Twilight was startled at first, but soon began to melt into his embrace and his kiss, letting the rest of her body go limp as she placed her hands on his shoulders and let her eyes close.

This...actually feels kind of nice.

At that thought Ryan broke the kiss and pulled back from her with an almost fearful expression on his face. Once Twilight's eyes had opened she could see the scared look on his face and immediately started to worry. "Is there something wrong?"

He nodded and started backing away. "No, nothing's wrong."

She didn't believe him for a second. There was clearly something bothering, he wouldn't be acting this way otherwise. "Is it something I did?" She asked, thinking that she was scaring him away.

"It's not you!" He yelled, his mind already jumping into a hyperactive panic. He put one of his hands to his head and ran it through his hair. "I'll be fine, I just...Fuck, I need a drink."

Ryan turned around and made his way down the hall, leaving Twilight alone and confused.

Author's Note

Just a quick note; I know the comedy isn't what it used to be in this one, but I have a reason. When it comes to a situation like this, there is going to be some tension. I'm trying to break through that tension as soon as possible so that we can go back to the comedic style. That's why these last few chapters haven't had as many laughs as they usually did in the original. So please, bare with me for the next chapter or two. The funnies will return.

With that out of the way, I hope you are all still enjoying the story, feel free to like and share it with your friends. Also, feel free to post comments below, comments make me feel special :P
