Prologue

It was in the middle of a cool, breezy summer day. I was lying under the apple tree in my yard, thinking about what I was going to do with the rest of my summer. I was alone, living by myself. My brother moved out awhile ago, but asked me to keep his room the way it is was. My mom was always gone, and I hadn’t seen her since I was six years old. It had just been me and my brother up to this point. Now, I'm pretty much relying on myself. At least I know the neighbour will help me until I can drive myself around. For now, I owe him. I start high school in a few weeks, and I know none of my friends will be going there.

Life doesn’t seem to be going anywhere for me, and it’s painfully lonely around here. I wonder if anyone would want to stay here until they can get a place of their own? Maybe one of those ponies that were on the news the other day? How long has it been since they came? I can’t remember, but it hasn’t been too long. They have been massive news, and it’s still the talk of the town.

Living a suburban area is great place to be. Most people are kind around here. They never really gave a reason to fight or anything of that sort. A cool breeze came through. It felt great, and I moaned. I dozed off for a minute. Then a few hours.

Chapter one

I heard someone walking towards me. Probably someone looking for a place to stay. My brother and I would let people stay with us if they had nowhere to go. Actually, now that I paid more attention to the noise it sounds like more than one. Then they were near me, but I'm still resting.

“Sir, are you okay?” one of them asked.

“He looks unconscious,” the other said.

They nudge me a bit, so I decided to wake up. “Hmm? Uhh, whats up?” I moaned drowsily. I’ve been asleep longer than I thought. Everything is blurry and smudged.

“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn’t know you were sleeping,” one said.

“Don’t worry about it. So, what do you need?” I said while getting the sleep out my eyes.

“Some of the locals said we could stay here if it was alright with the owner,” one of them said.

“Well, I'm technically the owner so yeah, of course you can. I’m sorry, but I can’t see after waking up. How many of you are there?” I said, still wiping my eyes.

“Well, there's six of us, will it be a problem?” one them said.

“Well, there is only one room available. So, if you don’t mind sharingit, you can have it,” I said.

“But there’s only one problem. We don’t have any money,” she said in a disappointed tone.

“Well, don’t worry about it, money isn’t really a problem anyway. I’ll find something for you all to do. In the meantime, help me into the house. My eyes aren’t adjusted to the light after sleeping.” They lifted me, but I don’t know how.

“The house is right here, you just need to take a couple more steps and you’ll be at the door”, one said right behind me. I took the keys out of my pocket and opened the door, walked in and they followed behind me. My vision was still only just coming back so I sat down on the couch.

“Well this is it, not much but you're welcomed to stay here as long as you want. By the way I didn’t say my name did I? Well, I am Alex and it’s a pleasure to meet you all.” I said in a polite tone.

“Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot all about formalities” she said frantically. My vision is finally coming through. No longer in a haze, I could actually see them. Five ponies but weren’t there six, or at least that was what I was told. I jerked back a bit. But then I remembered what I saw on the news. Talking ponies from another dimension came to this world just for the fun of it.

The ones I could see were a purple unicorn with purple hair and a violent streak of pink running through her hair, somewhat seeming to be leader. Next was an orange country looking pony with a long blond tail, besides her was a white unicorn with a stylish purple mane and tail. Then there was the bouncing pink one. I already could tell she was going to be a handful. She was all pink and her mane reminded me of cotton candy. Then the one that stuck out the most was the rainbow maned one. She was a pegasus that seemed a bit out of there.

“What’s wrong never seen a pony before?” the purple one said.

“Oh I'm sorry! I just haven’t met one in the flesh yet, or a talking one for that matter either. Something new everyday I suppose. By the way...” I said.

“What’s wrong?” she asked questioningly .

“You said there were six of you but I see only five of you” I asked inquisitively. I looked around curious whether the sixth one was somewhere else. Then I saw a pink tail behind them. “Oh don’t be shy, I don’t bite” I said trying to bring the pink haired pony out.

They shy yellow pony peeped out from behind the leg of the country mare. She had a light pink mane and tail and She looked very shy and fragile.

“We never told you who we are; I’m Twilight Sparkle” following her was Applejack then Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

“Come on Fluttershy, introduce yourself” Rainbow Dash nudged her gently.

“I’m.... uh... I'm oh.... I'm Fluttershy” the small pony replied shyly.

“And it’s my pleasure to meet each of you. Well let me show you to your room” I gestured for them to follow and took them to my old room. “You can stay here” I told them.

“Oh we can’t do that sweetie but it’s nice of you to offer” Rarity said.

“Oh don’t worry I haven’t used my room in years. Besides I sleep on the couch in the living room. My brother recently moved out but asked me to keep his room off limits to guests. I’ll try to get him to, but probably won’t be for awhile.” I said. They went in and it was pretty much empty; like a hotel room.

“Why don’t you sleep in your own room?” Applejack asked.

“I’ll tell you later when I get to know you better.” I told them. They started unpacking their stuff so I left them alone. After about half an hour they came out looking hungry.

“Hey you got anything to eat around here?” Rainbow Dash blurted out.

“Oh sugar cube now that was uncalled for, so mind yer manners” Applejack interjected.

“I am sorry but I won’t be getting any food until tomorrow but I’ll order some pizzas.” I said walking towards the phone. I quickly checked my wallet to see how much I got. Forty dollars I can make it work. I order two pepperoni and one cheese, I don’t know if they eat meat so I hope they do. “Well pizza will be here in half an hour” I said.

We sat in an awkward stomach growling silence for twenty five minutes. Then the delivery man came. I started for the door. And opened it to see a young teenage high school student.

“That will be twenty dollars sir” he said.

“Alright, here you go”, I said handing over all forty dollars, “keep the change”.

“Oh wow! Thanks man!” he excitedly said and left. I walked into the kitchen, placed the pizzas down and went to get some plates. I turned around to see they were already eating. I laughed and handed them plates.

“You must of been starving if you ate a whole box before I even turned around” I exclaimed laughing loudly. They blushed a little.

“We haven’t eaten anything since we’ve got here a few days ago” Twilight said, eating a slice of cheese pizza.

“Aww, you poor things. Good thing you came to me then” I exclaimed while taking a slice of pizza. Ten minutes past and all of it was gone.

“Wow I am full”, Rainbow Dash bashfully burped. We all nodded in agreement. I looked at my watch and noticed it was about nine at night.

“Well just to let you know the bathroom is next to your room if you need to use it. Also, do you need pillows and blankets?” I asked.

“Oh that’s good to know, also yes, we could use some pillows. We do, however, have our own blankets”, Rarity remarked. They all took turns taking showers and that whole time took about two hours.

I went to the storage room in the basement and took out six pillows. And handed it to them. They all nodded their heads in thanks.

“Well girls I think we should hit the hay”, Applejack yawned and pointed to the room.

“If you girls need me don’t be afraid to wake me up”, I told them politely. Shortly after they went to bed and I was up alone. So I didn’t forget, I went to my neighbor and told him I have six new guests and asked if he would buy more food tomorrow.

“Okay Alex, but personally, I don’t like how you’re still letting people live with you without any adults around, I’m just concerned for you. Just make sure they don’t do anything rash or stupid”, he said.

“I know how to take care myself”, I protested, “and for others for that matter. I doubt these girls will be any trouble.” I walked back to my house to make sure everything is okay. I stepped in and all was normal. Since nothing was wrong it was time to get some rest. I walked over to the couch and laid down, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Chapter two

I woke up to the neighbor bringing in some groceries. So lazily getting up, I helped him. He got much more than I expected. I thank him for getting them for me. He left and I started to put all the food away. Didn’t take too long because it was already separated. I hear some soft comforting whispering in their room. I put the last box of cereal in the cupboard.

“Alex can you talk to Fluttershy for us?” She said in her southern voice. “She is having a hard time fitting in this new world and we don’t know how to help her.” I turned around and saw Applejack looking at me quizzically.

“Okay I hope I can help” I said walking to their room. First thing I noticed is the drastic change to the room. There was so many vibrant colors and new furniture that I’d never seen before. I walked to the bed and sat down next to the sad Fluttershy.

“Hey Fluttershy what’s wrong?” I asked with concern.

“I miss my friends, my home, my little animals friends. Oh I just want to go back home” She sobbed “But I promised the others I wouldn’t...... What should I do?” she said wiping the tears from her face and looking into me with those deep blue eyes.

“You know a man once said ‘home is where your friends are’. So tell me where are your friends?” I asked.

“Well thats true. My friends are where I belong and I can call anywhere they are my home.” she said. After she was done crying she ran out and had hugged her friends. I walked into the heart warming moment and silently leaned by the wall. They seemed so happy and content. I couldn’t help feeling awkward, just watching them hug each other so I went into the kitchen.

“Thanks for talking to her, she seems much more at ease with this whole scenario. What did you tell her?” Applejack asked.

“Oh I only told her something I heard. I said ‘Home is where your friends are’ ”

She look at me then said “So true sugar cube”, and turn back around to get the emotional hugging under control. After that endeavor they settled down and starting talking to each other.

“Well there is food in the kitchen if you’re at all hungry, you can help yourselves to whatever you like” I said waving my arms about expansively. They looked at me dumbfounded.

“Wow really I would really never thought a human will give us this kind of treatment!” Pinkie Pie screamed in delight. But they didn’t get anything. I guess they are still full from the pizza last night. I know I wasn't, so I just grabbed a water bottle.

“Well I am going to go for a walk, anyone care to join?” asking them. They all shook their heads. “Aight, I trust you won’t destroy or burn down the house?” Laughing out loud. They laughed between each other, kind of nervously. “I’m just kidding I trust you can be alone in my house.” I said. I took the keys and locked the door. I decided to go around the block and not a long one, walking just make me feel a bit more alive. Saying that I would have loved the company though. It only took me twenty minutes to go around the block. I open the door and they were trying to figure out how to turn on the tv.

I showed them how to do it. I guess they don’t have some of the technologies that we have here. Then I remembered:

“Apologies girls, I forgot to give you the tour of the home. All you’ve seen was the living area.” I told them while walking in the kitchen. They got up and followed. There is only two other place I could show them that are of any true importance. I took them downstairs to the recreation area. “As you see the pool table and other arcade devices. Laundry room is right over there on the other side of the room. You're welcomed to use everything down here too as you see fit.” I told them.

“Wow your so lucky to live by yourself with all of this stuff!” Rainbow Dash announced.

“This reminds me. I wanted to ask you girls what you plan on doing in the human world?” I casually asked.

“Well we hoped that you can help us with that” Rarity said.

“Since this world is so new to us we have no idea what we should do” Twilight added uncertainty. It was obvious she had been out of her comfort zone for some time.

“Um... well if you want my opinion you should go to school.” I told truthfully.

“Oh god not school again” Rainbow Dash pouted.

“Oh my god you have school here TOO!?” Twilight squealed in delight. I stood there kind of oblivious to their comments.

“But Twilight we already finished school in Equestria!” Rainbow Dash moaned. I decided to walk away from this so I went back up the stairs. They’ve been talking for quite some time and I glanced at the clock, it said they’d been at it for an hour. I guess it’s time to settle their little argument since it seems to be going nowhere.... after all they were still bickering about school.

“You girls done bickering or would you like my to settle this?” I asked.

“Oh Alex please settle this for us, I don’t like all of this arguing. That's if you don’t... um mind that is...” Fluttershy asked nervously. Now all eyes were on me.

“Personally it’s up to you. But I have to go to school in a few weeks and I'm pretty sure you girls will have nothing better to do in the meantime. I’ll be alone there too so I would love to have someone there I know. Also you have no idea what this world is like so school is probably the best choice.” I told honestly.

“I guess since you put it that way I won’t mind. Just as long as we live here I guess” Rainbow Dash said.

“Well this is something I would have to figure out. I'm not sure how to enroll ponies into high school. Well I have to go ask John if he could enroll you into the school. Since he is my legal guardian now.” I said.

“Who is this John guy?” Twilight asked.

“Oh did I forget to tell you? since I'm not old enough to drive, he does all that stuff like grocery shopping. I’ll introduce you tomorrow because he is working right now.” I told them. With that over and done with I went back up the stairs. “Oh and remind me to give you your keys to the house tomorrow as well. With that said I'm going to take a nap under the apple tree in front.” I yelled down the stairs. But I don’t think they heard me. They were still talking about school.

I walked outside and laid under that apple tree and fell asleep rather quickly. Shortly after dozing off AJ woke me up.

“Hey Alex can I ask you something? It is something I was meaning to ask you for awhile. But uh I uh errh” Aj stuttered.

“Don’t be nervous around me. I’m not going to do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable or conscious about yourself.” I said. She kind of shied away for a second.

“Can I take care of your apple tree? It would help me feel more like home. I used to help at my family's apple orchard but then I left. SO please can I?” she asked with a puppy dog kind of look.

“Go ahead, no one even took care of it and I would love it if you would. I love this tree but never thought or knew how to take care of it.” I said. She jumped a bit but then regained her composure.

“Thank you very much partner. I got a piece of home because of you” she said. She gave me a big hug. Then she trotted off. ‘Now I can take my nap’ I thought.

Only half an hour past by before another pony interrupted. “Um... Alex... are you awake? I want to ask you a question if thats okay with you” Fluttershy asked nervously.

“Oh what time is it? whatever. Um... what did you want to ask?” I asked.

“I uh... just wanted to know what high school would be like. I’m really nervous about it and I would like to know before so I can uh....put my mind at ease.” Fluttershy said.

“Well from what I know there’s going to be three thousand plus people in the school. I’m not so sure if there will be any ponies there except you six. But don’t worry I'll work out a way so we can all have the same classes the first semester.” telling her the best way I can.

“Oh uh that’s uh er a lot of people. And you’re sure there is no pony else?” She asked. I took a second to think.

“Honestly I don't know for sure. I would think so but the whole time ponies came here I haven’t seen any of them since you. But chance are there will be at least.” I told her. She gave a shy smile.

“Thanks for telling me” she said.

“Well you're welcome make sure to tell the others for me, they might have the same question.” I asked. She nodded as a sign she heard me.

I decided that I napped enough for today and got to check up on them. I opened the door and saw applejack napping on the couch and twilight watching TV. I checked down stairs and rainbow Dash and pinkie pie were playing pool. I didn’t even bother to check for Fluttershy and rarity because the only place I would think they’d be is in their room.

Few hours later and it was the end of the day. They got all of their good nights out and showered. I stayed up a bit thinking about what to do with these ponies. The more I thought about it the more I worried about them, and the more I worried the more I thought. I kept thinking to myself; “How are they going to fit in?, Will they make new friends?, Or even simple things like will I have any classes with them?

Chapter three

I had some trouble sleeping that night. I woke up to them trying to get around me, without waking me. So; I woke up for them.

I left the room and headed downstairs to prepare a few things. First things first, I grabbed six keys to the house and gave them to the fillies.

“Girls are you ready to meet him?” I yelled. They came running except Rainbow Dash who came flying. We walked over to his house, and still nervous as they were, They stayed back a bit while I went up and knocked on his door. And the door opened

“Hey Alex what’s up?” he asked.

“Oh nothing John,I wanted you to meet the new tenants. He looked out his door and saw them all. “Uh... where are they all, I see is ponies.” he said confusedly, gazing at with a cocked head.

“Well as you bluntly put it, yes they’re ponies” I told him. Each of them came up and introduced themselves. He was really nice to them and I was actually pleasantly surprised,even though he was a really nice guy I expected a different reaction.

“Girls, you can head on back. I have some business with John here.” I told them. They trotted off back towards the house.

“You're also here on business? What can I do for you?” he asked.

“Well I need your help to enroll them into high school, preferably to the one I am going to, since you are technically my legal guardian after all.” I told him. He sat there for a second rubbing his eyes.

“Okay anything for you. Have they given you any trouble yet?” he asked, looking puzzled yet worried. I shook my head. “I will go right now I’ll be back in an hour with the documents, so make sure they stay with you as long as they want to be in school.” he said.

“But wait, don’t you need like documentations like proof of child age stuff like that?” I asked concerned. He looked at me for a second.

“I did some research into this. Seems like all I have to do is get the signatures of the girls and send them to Princess Celestia and she will take care of the rest.” saying it as if he practiced it.

“Wait who is this Celestia pony?” asking as if this Celestia person was someone important.

“She is the ruler of the ponies in the world they come from. She is now like a political leader her for any concerns of ponies.” he said. Thanking him while walked back to my house watching him leave to the high school.

So they have a queen like in themedieval ages, I thought to myself. I walked into the house and remembered I didn’t give the house keys to the girls yet. “Hey girls, can you please come here for a second.” I shouted. They came rather slowly. By the looks on their faces it looks like they think they got into trouble.

“Did we do anything wrong?” Fluttershy asked quietly.

“No you’re not, I just forgot to give you these” saying it while I handed them the keys.

“Why these are the most ugliest keys I have ever seen” Rarity in disgust. Twilight nudged her harshly.

“Rarity! This is an honor to be getting these. Show him some respect” she scorned her.

“I don’t care what you do to them as long as you keep them safe and on hand if you ever the house is locked,” waving it off. Rarity smiled in delight. “Oh one more thing you're going to have to write your names on some documentations when John gets back he could send the information to Princess Celestia” I told them.

Twilight shot up like if she heard a gunshot. “Did you say Princess Celestia?” she squealed in delight. Now she won’t stop bouncing around. I looked at her as if she was a little kid.

“Do you know who she is?” I asked. They all looked at me dumbfounded.

“How can you not know who she is? But... I forgot you are only human. She was my magic teacher in our world and she is also the queen of the whole world too!” Twilight said in shock and delight.

“So you have connections to the royalty of your world?” I asked.

“We all know her sugarcube.” Applejack said.

“Yeah silly. Have you’ve been living under a rock or something? We send her all the lessons we learn on the magic of friendship.” Pinkie Pie said in her a random tone.

“Uh okay, No I didn’t know that you girls were close to her. Personally I just heard her name for the first time today.” Saying in a cold kind of tone. The expressions on their faces were priceless. For the next hour they told me stories and things they learned from their world. I was actually rather fascinated. All of these experiences they learned, honestly, I don’t think I would've ever known on my own.

“Hey I got the documents” John yelled barging in through the backdoor of the house. The ponies jumped, startled.

“You could've told us that John has keys to the house as well” Rarity said taking deep breathes.

“Hey Alex, I got some good news for you!” he yelled into the living room. I told the girls to stay put while I go talk to him.

“Hey whats up?” I said inquisitively to him.

“I just met the principle and you never guess who it is. It’s Mr. Walters”, he told me. I was shocked to hear that name again.

“Really? I thought he did something else! This is awesome! I get my good old friend back!” I yelled while smiling widely. I called them in and they signed their names.

“Oh hey I can send it to her with one of my spells. But I must write her a letter first if that's okay.” It didn’t even matter. She took the documents and went into their room and start writing profusely. I asked the other is she does this a lot. They all said the same thing, yes.

After ten awkward minutes of listening to her scribble away she came running out. “Okay I already sent them, so it shouldn’t take too long for her to respond” she told us. I didn’t know how she did it but it seems like she pulled through. Within the minute we received a orange envelope containing the documents and a box. It was for twilight and the others, but naturally I was curious. As they opened it another letter came but just for me, so I took it into the kitchen and opened it in private.

It came from Celestia. It read ‘Dear, Alex I would like to thank you for taking in my dear student twilight and her friends. I am eternally grateful that someone took them in. If you ever need help, don’t be afraid to send me a letter. Sincerely Princess Celestia.’

I had a lot of questions but I don’t want to waste her time. They got the box open and it had six weird looking devices that were apparently like cellphones for them. I guess they made pony cell phones so they can use them to stay in contact with humans, perfectly suited to this situation with me. This way if they need to do so they could simply call me up. Their contact list was small, only a few numbers in each one of them . I’m sure they had each others on them too and Celestia’s. It’s probably best if they have mine and John’s number in as well.

I got a sticky note and wrote the two numbers. I handed it to Rarity first. She put the numbers in and they handed it around. I hope they know how to use them because I have no clue. I didn’t even notice John leaving. One second he was there the next he was gone. Probably gone to get the stuff to Mr Walters.

“Well girls I’m going for a walk. Care to join me?” I asked. As headed out the door only Fluttershy followed. “Ah it’s nice to have someone to finally walk with” I said. She walked right behind me. “Are you that shy around me?” I asked sadly. She picked up her pace to be right next to me. “How come you don’t fly?” I asked.

“I’m not a strong flier. I can’t really fly high.” She said with her head hanging down. I don’t really understand how their wings work but I would love to see her fly.

“Why not?” I asked. She talked about how they are not very strong. Even though I have no idea how to help her I told her I’ll help her in anyway. Also mentioning I would love to see her fly. She gave me a big smile.

“You would really want to help me?” she asked. I nodded while walking. I checked my phone and realized we’ve been gone for over an hour.

So we headed back home. We had little conversations just to get her to know her a little bit better. As we walked up the door I opened the door for her. Soon things settled down and I started to cook dinner for them.

“Hey you're like the coolest human I know. But you know what would make you even cooler? You should definitely make cupcakes!” Pinkie Pie squealed in delight. I’m still not used to her popping out of nowhere.

“Oh Pinkie Pie you must stop doing that. You just came from nowhere and scared the crap out of me.” I told her. Now she was giving me the saddest look I've ever seen anything ever do. “Aww you got me” I said with a smile. She jumped around me in joy. Then I went into the cupboards and grabbed something I know she will like. “Hey Pinkie, how would you like to help me makes some cupcakes?” I asked her. For a second I thought she was about to pass out. But she quickly got all the ingredients out and looked at me impatiently. I gave her a nod and she quickly started everything.

I was shocked at her speed. In two minutes she had all the cupcakes in the oven. And now she won’t stop bouncing around. About twenty minutes past and the cupcakes were done. The scent of the permeated through the entire house. I have no idea what she did to it but my mouth is watering. While she spread the icing on each one evenly, I served them their dinner. They ate it gracefully yet greedily, they only had their eyes on the cupcakes.

“Well you girls have been patient so go ahead and have your cupcakes.” I told them. Without a second thought they grabbed the cupcakes from the tray and savagely ate them. “Guess they tasted absolutely horrible, eh?” I asked sarcastically as I sauntered out into the back yard to get some fresh air. Fluttershy followed out, right behind me, without me noticing.

“So how do you plan on helping me fly better?” she asked out of the blue. Well I still have no idea how to do that.

“Is there any kind of training weight for your wings? I asked. She nodded her head.

“I think Rainbow Dash has some old one I could borrow.” she said.

“The thing is that you need to add weight every so often to make them stronger over time.” I told her. I took a quick moment to think how to do that. Maybe Twilight could help there. “Go ask Rainbow Dash if you can borrow those weights. There's something that I need to ask Twilight about while you do”. I walked inside and asked Twilight outside for a moment.

“Just thought I should let you know that I plan on helping Fluttershy become a better flyer. Sadly however the only idea I’ve had for helping her improve is adding weights to Fluttershy using training weights. And I hope you would have a remedy for that.” I asked her questioningly. She looked at me in a way that she is questioning my motives.

“I can easily enchant them for her, but why of all people do you want to helping her?” she inquired. I was stranded for words.

“I don’t like how someone has the ability to do something so special yet is unwilling or is afraid to use that special talent of theirs” I said honestly. She went in and enchant her weights for me. And came back out.

“I’m so glad someone is willing to help her get off the ground because clearly you’re the most apt person to teach her” she said mockingly. The fact that she pointed out that I have no wings made me chuckle a bit. I bowed down to her in thanks, went inside and told Fluttershy we will start tomorrow.

Strolling into the living room to check to see anything happened while I was away I looked out the window and saw someone pull into the driveway. Someone very, very familiar. As I squinted I instantly knew who it was. I opened the door and yelled jovially “Is that who I think it is?” as a taller slender man stepped out.

“Oh my have you grown Alex.” he hollered. John drove into his driveway shortly after. Applejack came out of the house and asked who that is.

“You may call me Mr. Walters you lovely, young lady” he said. Her jaws dropped. I think she figured out that he is our principal, her shock possibly rising from the fact he looked like a member of a punk band. I welcomed him inside. “I see little has changed much. So I wanted to see you personally and well, I can’t but help see that you recruited some ponies into our program”, he said glancing at the young mares whose heads were poking out the front door. I couldn’t take Mr. Walter seriously he looks like a random punk.

“Oh girls, do you mind giving us some privacy for a minute.” I asked them politely. They left as if this was really important with Rarity pouting at me before she left herself. “Mr. Walters, I would want to ask you a favor if at all possible” I said kind of discomforted. He leaned in and then I know he would. “I hope you can put me and the girls in the same classes for the first semester so I can help them adjust to high school.” I confessed to him. It was an awkward moment. He finally broke the silence.

“Alright, I’ll do that for you. Here, this is your schedule and I'll also fix it so they are in the same classes.” He said raising his hand. I thanked him as he left after which the girls came back curious about what went down. I told them I got our schedule for school and showed them it giving a brief explanation of each class. They seemed content with it. We have six hours in total. First is english, followed by history, health, math, gym and finally biology.

When I explained the gym curriculum I noticed Rainbow Dash kind of tense up. After I finished by letting them know that I made it so we all have the same classes for the first semester they went off into their own business. But I asked Rainbow Dash to hold out for a second.

“What do you want” She moan un-interestedly.

“I want to know why you acted kind of strangely when I was talking about gym” I told her.

“Oh uh nothing, nothing at all, no reason whatsoever” she tried avoiding answering.

“Hmmm I bet you that I can guess it right on the first time” I challenged her. She accepted and we shook on it. She tensed up the moment I mentioned the fact there was a mandatory swimming course. So, going with my hunch, I said “You don’t know how to swim?” She blushed wildly and said to keep it down. “I don’t see a problem with that. How come you never learned to swim?” I asked in hushed tones to prevent the others from hearing.

She said pegasus are more or less afraid of water. Most can swim, some just don’t want to. She being the athletic type, I was shocked knowing this. I told her that I was already helping Fluttershy and that I was willingly going to help her so she doesn’t embarrass herself when it comes to that, if she wanted to of course.

“And how do you plan on doing that?” She said harshly. I was kind of felt like she wasn’t the brightest one either.

“I have a pool in the back yard so I can help you in there.” I told her. She looked at me as if I were stupid.

“You don’t have a pool!” she yelled, voice wobbling as she said it. I walked out in the back and shown her the pool. Now she look thoroughly embarrassed.

“I keep the cover on to keep it clean. You probably thought it as a decoration.” saying it in a way to make her feel better. The others came out wondering what we were doing that required such raised voices.

“Oh I didn’t know you had a pool! This is just so cool we can swim here as well! I’m so excited and SO glad I brought all my swimming things!” Pinkie squealed in delight. I guess none of them had an inclining that I had it, it would seem.

I asked them if they wanted to go swimming. They went off running into their room and came back with a few floaties and other stuff. Rainbow Dash was quickly upset and flew into the house. I followed her concern for her. “Hey what’s wrong?” I asked concernedly.

“What should I do? I can’t let the others know I can’t swim. Oh my Celestia what should I do?” She said. I put my hand on her head.

“I told you I'm willing to help you” I told her reassuringly. She looked at me kind of confused yet happy. I’m unsure how this is going to work out. I’ve helped a few people learn how to swim but never a pony. “Are you sure you don’t want the others to know? They can really help you in many ways more than just me” I said. She looked as if she was trying to find a way out.

“I guess I have no choice, but I’ll ask them when they get done swimming. For now can we talk personally?” She asked. I told her I will hear anything she wanted to say. “How come you took us in? I mean you live by yourself and your younger than us. What is the deal with that? And how come you don’t want us to pay some sort of rent?” she shot question after question.

“Before I tell you why, you must answer mine. Why shouldn’t I?” I asked. She paused a moment, each minute seemed to stretch longer and longer.

“I... I... I don’t know” she said hanging her head.

“Well for one, I love the company” her head shot up in confusion. “But I didn’t answer your question” she stuttered.

“But you did. It wasn’t a perfect answer, but good enough for me” I told her. She shuffled a bit to get comfortable. “Like I was saying, I'm just a nice guy. Probably the nicest you’ll ever meet. Why I don’t make you pay? If you truly want to have some sort of payment then I could let you do some work around the house. And finally the big one you asked. I let people live here when they have nowhere else to go” I said scratching my chin.

We just relaxed for awhile getting to know each other better. It seems that she is trying to figure something out but I'm not sure what. She jumped up when the door opened. Then she let out a sigh.

“I’ll go tell them about my... problem” she said jumping off the bed. She walked into the living room where the others were. I decided to wait in the room. I heard a few gasps. Then I heard some talking followed by some laughing. After about ten minutes Rainbow Dash came back.

“That went well I guess... but now I kind of feel awkward around them. But at least they will help now, I told them you will help too” she said. I told her it’s no problem and that we will start tomorrow after I start training Fluttershy. The day ended rather quickly, so I just fell into the couch, passing into a deep sleep before I’d had time to think about what had occurred.

Chapter four

The dreams I had were probably the best I've ever had in a long time. Since these girls came into my life I've just been somewhat content, feeling as if I'm doing something better in my life with them.

I woke up around a quarter past seven. I checked to see if any of them were are awake. No, thankfully none of them had risen yet. They were so quiet right now, not even a whisper of a breath could be heard when I put my ear to the door. I looked into their room and saw them curled up next to each other. It was kind of cute actually. I almost awed at them. So I closed the door and started doing some house work.

After about an hour I actually finished, and they are still sleeping. I tried to be quiet but I thought I'd eventually wake them. Since I had some free time I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. And right there and then, they woke up. Talk about timing.

“Good morning girls” I said cheerfully. They asked me why I'm up so early. I told them I’m a morning person.

“When do you start training me?” Fluttershy asked innocently but surprisingly eagerly. I looked at her for a couple of long seconds, exasperated.

“Well that’s completely up to you” I told her. She walked back to her room and got her training weights on. Twilight used her magic on it so there was a few pounds of weight on it. “So, you want to go now huh?” I said. I let her know that we would do it every day and she gave the okay. We took a few steps out. “Okay now I want you to fly the whole entire time then after a few days we will add more weight. You think you can handle that?” I asked. She nodded and we started to move along.

I planned on at least forty five minutes but after thirty minutes she was about to give out. So we I shortened it today. I felt bad for her because she was almost on the verge of tears. We got home and asked her if she wanted her wings massaged. She said that it’d will be okay.

“You almost made her cry!” Twilight said from behind, he voice twinged with anger. I turned around and explained her what had happened carefully.

“I personally think it’s best. She is a little soft, she just needs to build up her strength.” I told her honestly, clarifying also that I hadn’t known her strength, or lack of it. I walked back into the living room and Fluttershy was crashed out on the couch. I guess the poor girl overworked herself.

I took an half hour break before I helped Rainbow Dash. I began to think up a list of chores for the girls to do. Since they thought they needed a way to repay me. Rainbow Dash came out and wanted to get the embarrassment of learning to swim out of the way. I told her to wait a minute while I go change. I got into my swim trunks, then I went out and she turned away, a look of disgust crossing her face as she did so.

“What’s wrong with you!? Why don’t you have a shirt on. That’s just, weird!” She yelled while still looking away. I forgot, they probably thought humans are clothed twenty-four seven.

“Oh, men here usual take off their shirts when they swim. I’m sorry I didn’t know you weren’t aware of that” I said flustered looking for the right words.

“I just haven’t seen you with your shirt off” She said trying to look at me. I got into the pool with a boogie board I had.

“Get on the board Rainbow Dash” I said patting the board. She tried yet she was nervous to say the least. So I did something kind of mean. I grabbed her off the deck and put her on the board. I can’t count how many times she hit me but I finally got her on the board. She was frightened stiff on the board. So I started to stroke her mane to calm her down.

“YOU ARE A JERK!” She yelled trying to fly away. But I grabbed her before she could.

“Just relax, put your hooves in the water” I told her reassuringly. She did as I told her. But took way too long. I tried starting idle conversation.

“I didn’t ask the others but what did you girls do in equestria?” I asked. She told me that Twilight was a Librarian, Pinkie Pie is a pastry chef, Applejack helps with her family's apple orchard, Rarity has her own boutique, And Fluttershy was a animal caretaker. “And what did you do?” I asked politely.

She said she was a weather mare. As she was going into detail about what she did she fell off the board. She flailed around in the water scared out of her mind. I lift her out of the water and told her we can call it a day. I threw her a towel. She started to wipe her face and I’m pretty quick at drying off. So I quickly dodge inside and put some clothes on. And came back out to see her sun bathing. So I layed right next to her.

“So what does a weather mare do?” I asked her as I lay down, stretching out beside her.

“Well we control where the weather happens. Liking moving a cloud to the right places, making rainbows, and all kinds of weather.” She started babbling on, however after a couple of minutes she asked me a question. “How do I become a weather mare like in equestria ,but here?” she asked.

“Rainbow Dash, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but weather here controls itself. The only sort of jobs involving weather is becoming a weather lady/man. Personally I don’t take you one for learning a lot of stuff like that” I said. She looked as if she was about to cry. It nearly broke my heart.

“Hey, hey, don’t worry. I'm sure we can find something you’ll enjoy. And you technically don't have to worry for a few years” I reassured her. She held onto her tears as if she was use to it. She got up and thanked me for talking with her. I guessed it cleared something on her mind.

I walked back inside then a letter appeared out of nowhere. It was from Celestia. I read it to myself. Dear Alex, I forgot to give you a special lighter so you can burn any mail you have for me and it will send it to me immediately. Sincerely yours Princess Celestia. The lighter came with the note.

Well this would make things more convenient. So since I have nothing planned for a while I decide to write her back to thank her for the lighter. I finished it and lit it on fire. Shortly after I got another letter. All it was saying was that it’s no big deal.

It was starting to get late so might as well start dinner. After it was finished I yelled to the girls, letting them know it was done. They came trotting along. I asked them if they wanted chores to do around the house, they shared a looked between each other.

“I think it’s a good idea I mean after all we should do something for you darling” Rarity said while trying to look good. They seemed to all be in the same boat.

“Well then, since you’re all in agreement I’ll give you a list of thing you could do. But for now relax and enjoy yourselves.” I said taking the dishes to the sink. They throw out ideas that I obviously ignored.

I got some paper and started writing down things that need to be done. It took awhile but, by the time I finished, they had gone off to bed. So put it away for the time being. Now is the time to get some rest.

Rarity is still up pacing back and forth in the backyard. I opened the door and slightly puzzled said “Hey Rarity, what’s wrong”. She remained pacing back and forth, seemingly oblivious to my voice or presence, so guessing she didn’t hear me I stepped outside. “Rarity what’s wrong?” I repeated, finally noticing me she stopped and turned around.

“Oh Alex! This is the worst possible thing that could ever happen! I lost my favorite hat. I remember having it outside and falling asleep on the lawn chair. Now it’s gone forever!” She panicked. I felt kind of harsh telling her.

“Uh... Rarity-” The answer obvious to me, I was about to tell her but she interrupted me.

“Oh can you help me, please?” she said, lower lip quivering as she looked at me with puppy dog eyes. So, finally giving in, I nodded and put my hand on her head.

“It’s on your head Rarity” I told her.

“Oh that’s where it was!” She squealed in delight, jumping and waving her legs in tandem, then ran off to bed. Okay, now that mess was over it was definitely time for me to get some sleep.

I woke up to a daily routine. In the morning, me and Fluttershy would go a for walk, improving no end over the weeks. Same went for Rainbow Dash, gaining in confidence and even managing to swim all on her own without someone to be there for her. She had enough knowledge to pass the mandatory swimming lessons in gym now. I could try teaching her advance swimming techniques but school is around the corner.

I have given them some chores to do, breaking them up into teams as I divided out the house work and the outside work amongst themselves. Rainbow Dash and Applejack got the outside chores, Rarity and Fluttershy for the cleaning, and Pinkie Pie and Twilight for cooking. The food was delicious every time.

I had to stop the training with Fluttershy for school, but I think she is a good enough flyer now. I had to get them all prepared for the school year. So, sitting them down, I explained to them what would happen when school started. And of course, they panicked, having forgotten about school, having not gone to one here yet.

“So what should we do?” Twilight asked with her head cocked to the right a bit.

“Well the first few days you don’t really need anything, so you can relax on the first day and take in the surroundings” I said. Only Rarity kind of got what I meant. Having then realized what I just thought for a second. I know Rarity will take it the wrong way. She probably would try to make herself fit into the crowd. I don’t want them to fall into the cool people trend, where you forget who your real friends are. After telling them, the group just kind of dispersed. Went off on our own. The day went on as usual.

Chapter five

The time has come. The big day. It was time to start the new school year. I had to wake the girls up early. To which they strongly resisted, having to wake up around six in the morning and leave by six forty five. Good thing the bus stop was around the corner.

We got there, it was just us. I kept yawning, I'm not used to waking up this early. The bus came and the girls went on first. Looking about at who else was on the bus, it surprised me to see other ponies on it. There was a handful of humans. We went to the back and sat down into a awkward conversation. Fluttershy was the only one nervous about school, taking it upon myself personally I leveled with her, I was too. She gave me one of her signature shy smiles.

The whole bus ride was pretty scenic. We had a great route that showed the good parts of the city. When we arrived at the school, Applejack let out a long whistle.

“Dang when you said big you meant BIG” she said admiring the school. I held the door open for them. As Pinkie Pie crossed the threshold she started to bounce around excitedly. Turning the corner, someone bumped into me.

“Oh I'm so sorry. I’m such a clutz” I couldn’t see who it was, still, I turned around and helped pick up some of the papers. When I looked up I saw a cross-eyed pony, a pegasus at that as well. “Oh I’m sorry, I forgot, my names is Derpy Hooves! I’m so sorry bumping into you” she said bubbling the words in. Twilight came up from behind me and whispered a warning me not to call her derpy, she takes offense to it. She just hung in the air for a bit as if she is waiting for a response.

“Oh yeah don’t worry about it Mrs. Hooves” I said kind of quickly. She didn’t freak out or anything as Twilight implied.

“Oh I got to go. I hope I get to see you soon!” she flew off towards her class. I looked at the time and we had five minutes until class started. I looked at the schedule. First class was english. We walked into the class and saw Mr. Rogers written on the chalkboard. Standing in front of it was the man himself, Mr. Rogers. He was the picture perfect version of any english teacher. He was dressed in a suit and spoke with clarity and perfect sentence structure. He even was willing to give out extra credit if you can catch him using in proper english.

The start of class was kind of boring it pondered its way through time so slowly. However the teacher turned out to be a pretty chilled, relaxed guy. As the class ended we left and the girls were chatting amongst themselves.

The timetabled lesson was one of my personal favorite classes; history with Mrs. Eddy. She was a nice, fun and a over the top kind of teacher and I had always been kind of dorky when it came to history.

Next came health with Mr. House. He told us that at one point the humans and ponies would separate for a period of time to learn the anatomy of the other species. That was how he put it rather bluntly. He also mentioned that a pony would be teaching the humans during that time as well. The idea of a pony teacher never struck my mind. I wondered what they’d be like. But now it was Time for lunch and I was pretty darn hungry. We walked together to the cafeteria and sat together. We talked about what the rest of the day would be like, about thoughts of the teachers are so far. Each of the ponies ate from a lunch box they all had packed earlier that day. Personally I just bought some food from the cafeteria.

The peace I felt as we ate together was blissful... until derpy came over. We all tried to avoid using her actual name. I didn’t think it fair so I quickly thought of something. “Hey I'm going to give you a cool nickname” I said to derpy.

“OH! I love nick names you know I had one before. I was called the muffin Queen!” she said in delight, clapping her hooves together, she followed this with a few facts about muffins, “and that is why Blueberry are the best!” she exclaimed.

“I got a good one for you. How about we call you Bubbles?” I said with a little hesitation. She laughed in delight, was in the clear with her for now at least, the others nodded in agreement with my suggestion for her new nickname.

“Hey Bubbles, what‘s your next class?” I asked. She handed over her schedule. It looked like we only had math together, so I invited her to join us in walking to class.

“Yeah sure. I'm not familiar with the school yet” she rubbing the top of her head.

“Not the only thing you’re unfamiliar with” Rainbow Dash said sharply reluctantly, for which she earned a jab from Applejack. I guessed she isn’t very popular in the pony world.

We found the math classroom and I popped in. I was the only human in the class, even the teacher was a pony! Cherilee was her name, out of all the teachers I think she is going to be the best, everyone or everypony knows her but me. So I walked up to say ‘hello’ and introduce myself. “Hi, I'm Alex. It’s a pleasure to meet you” I said trying to be all formal. She was incredibly friendly. Since everyone knows her she made a game out of me and despite it being a little bit mean I enjoyed it. I got to know everyone pretty well. The only ones I could remember from just by the end of the class were the girls of course, derpy or as I now called her bubbles, Octavia, Colgate, Bonbon, Lyra, Vinyl Scratch, and Thunder Lane.

There weren’t a lot of guys in the class so I felt a little bit out of place. somewhat ironic, as that’s what caused me discomfort and not that I was the only human there.

Following math was gym class. They thought they were going to have to exercise and run on the first day but we didn’t because there was some explaining needed to be done. There was two teachers both being male but one was a pegasus pony that I had to try oh so hard not to laugh at. The man, was named Mr. Power and the pegasus, ironically, was named was Roid Rage. Some of the other students laughed when he said it, that moment also being the one everyone learned never to laugh at his name. I was one of the few to hold the laughter.

Almost everyone was punished for it too. They all had to run a mile on the first day. The pegasus that were in the class had to fly two miles. That included rainbow Dash. But she said she wanted too so she got on his good side immediately. None of us others got punished and after that whole ordeal the class ended and the day was nearing its end.

The only class left was biology. The teacher; Mrs. Chadwick, was kind of short and very strict. Twilight, from that first moment loved her. Although that might come from the fact that she just loved learning.

As day ended and we got back on the bus to go home we talked about the day and started prepping a list of what we would need. We got home after the bus ride and we went off on our own business. Finally the day ended with us saying good night.

Chapter six

The days went by and the girls were fitting in alright. Our grades were above B’s. I think my math class finally gave up on me being the center of attention. The class just found having one human in the class amusing for the least. They were making new friends rather quickly, unlike me, in fact they were the only ones I knew except the principal. Derpy was pretty cool, if not rather clumsy, so I knew we would get along.

The next day, as was outlined, the swimming portion of gym class begun. Rainbow Dash looked nervous, so I reassured her that she’d do great. Following my little pep talk she shook her head violently, trying to get her nerves out. It turned out that by the end of the day she was one of the top three swimmers in the class. I was first because I teach it and they made me lifeguard for the periods we had to swim. I missed out on the games they made them play, but I had a responsibility.

The first day off finally came. It was halloween and the girls wanted to go out, but they first wanted to know what it’s about. “Well I’m not totally sure but I do know people dress up to scare evil spirits away. Then the idea grew out and now people just give out candy.” I said scratching my chin.

“So, it’s like Nightmare Night!?” Pinkie Pie shouted. They all were chatting amongst themselves gripped in a fever of excited conversation. However, timid as ever Fluttershy was cowering in the corner, shuffling backwards into their room. I followed her back into their room.

“Fluttershy, what’s wrong?” I asked cautiously.

“I’m-I’m scared... If this is anything like n-n-nightmare night I want nothing to do with it!” she said, curling up on her bed.

“Aww come on, it’ll be fun. I’ll tell you what. I will be right next to you the whole entire time and won’t leave your side for a sec,” I reassured her, extending my hand to her.

“Okay... but you have to Pinkie Promise!” she said taking my hand. Having Pinkie Promised, we then went back into the living room. The girls were fretting about what to wear. They had their costumes from the last time they had a nightmare night. So they dressed up in the same costumes. Twilight was some kind of wizard, Pinkie was a chicken, Rainbow Dash was some kind of ninja, Applejack was some sort of scarecrow and Rarity was dressed up like a cat. Fluttershy didn’t have a costume but Rarity pulled through and out of nowhere she has a whole bunny costume to wear!

We left the house around six. I didn’t go as anything, I felt too old doing this in the first place. I had actually never done this at any period of my life. Having told them what they needed to do to get candy, Pinkie Pie was off in a flash. I yelled after her not to go too far away from the group. I doubt she heard me. Fluttershy just stood next to me quietly and was very close. I looked at her closely and noticed she was shivering.

About thirty minutes passed by and their bags were almost full. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted Derpy. I waved for her to come over to us. When she came over I looked at what she was wearing, paper bags. “Hey Bubbles, what are you supposed to be?” I asked looking at her.

“Well I’m a wizard of course.” She said posing. I shrugged my head. Thats Derpy for you. She joined us for the rest of the night.

“Hey Bubbles, I didn’t know you live around here”, I asked curiously. She said that she lived on the other side of the neighborhood. It was getting late so we took our leave of Derpy and headed home.

We got home but they still waited by the door. “Hey Alex, aren’t we supposed to offer it to some sort of demon?” Twilight asked impatiently.

“What? No! You don’t give your candy to anything. You keep it all in a candy induced coma.” I laughed loudly. They ran into their room and started dumping all the candy on the floor making a noise that could only be described as ‘squee’. Fluttershy joined me in watching tv.

“Thanks for making me go Alex. I uh... had fun” She smiled at me.

“No problem Fluttershy” I told her patting her on her head. About thirty minutes later she went to bed. I guessed I should too.

We had no school the next day because of the weekend. I woke and found a pile of candy next to me with a note in it. I picked it up and read it. Please mister monster don’t eat us tonight. I laugh silently. These girls are trying to find ways to involve me in things I never got to do in their world.

They came out of their room giggling. So I quickly pretended to be sleeping.

“I wonder how shocked he would be when he wakes up” Pinkie Pie said quietly. They stealthily came into the living room.

“Aww man he is still sleeping” Rainbow Dash pouted. They all shushed the pegasus. “You know what we should do girls?” She said. “We definitely get some whip cream and tickle his face so he smacks himself with the cream!” She giggled out loud. Now they all giggled. I heard the fridge open and them taking something out. I felt them putting the whip cream in my hand.

“Okay girls I'll do it” Twilight chuckled.

“No Twilight I'll do it. It was my idea.” Rainbow Dash said. She yelped when she pulled on of her feathers out. She started to tickle me. Right there and then, I smashed the whip cream in her face.

“You’re going to have to try harder to prank me girls” I laughed while getting up. They jumped a bit in shock. Then we all laughed together.

“Ah man, you got me good Alex” Rainbow Dash said wiping the cream of her face.

A bit later I was tensed up thinking they were going to try pranking me all day, but they didn’t. So I took a breather for the rest of the day. I hoped there was no hard feelings between us. Even though they were the ones who started it.

Chapter seven

The days went by. Then the days turned into weeks. As quickly as fall came, so did winter. The snow fell down gently and covered the ground in a blanket of white fluffy snow. I would stare for hours on end when it snowed. I wished it could be winter for longer than three or so months. The girls started to feel the cold and christmas was around the corner. I told them not to bother getting me gifts. But I never told them I wasn’t getting them theirs.

“Hey Alex, when exactly is this Christmas and what exactly is it?” Twilight asked.

“I hope it’s like Hearts Warming Eve!” Pinkie pie yelled.

“Oh now that would be so cool!” Rainbow Dash squealed.

They cheerfully talked to each other for awhile. I had no idea what they were talking about. I think they forgot to that I was still here.

“Oh I forgot that you don’t know much on our traditions. Why do I keep forgetting?” Twilight said hitting her hooves against her head.

“Well if you care I would love to know”, I told her.

They told me about how the the races of ponies fought. How the fighting caused it to get colder and that friendship brought back the warm weather and since then they sang the song of friendship and cheerfully accepted one another.

“That’s fascinating” I remarked

“Well what’s Christmas sweetie?” Rarity asked innocently. They all gathered around. I felt like I was telling a story to a bunch of little kids. Kids who love when someone reads them a story.

“Well it all started when....” I told them the whole story. Saint Nick who became the renowned Santa Claus. Ending how we give each other gifts that come from the heart. They loved it immediately.

“That’s a little bit like our Hearts Warming eve” Rarity said

Time trickled by and I had to get the gifts from John that I got for them. They will probably be upset because they didn’t get me anything but as I thought about it they did. I’m even embarrassed just thinking about it.

Night came and I quietly crept over to John's house. He was awake and ready to give me the gifts.

“Are you sure these are good enough for them?” He said handing me the first gift.

“Oh I hope so. I doubt they will complain” I told him taking one gift at a time. I only got them one each. I don’t know them too well. I pray they will at least thank me for them. I put a lot of time and consideration into them. Trying to get the best gift for each of them.

I quickly and quietly put each present under the tree we’d put up. I felt bad telling them Santa wasn’t real. They were sad that he wasn’t but I told them it is what the giver gives that matters. If is just to buy your friendship it was wrong but if it came from the heart then it is worth it.

I heard some rustling in their room so I quickly put the last one down. I skipped off to the couch that I sleep on and fell asleep rather quickly. Morning came and I slept in not being used to staying up late I had been knackered. I felt one of them violently shaking me.

“Alex wake up. It’s Christmas!” Twilight said excitedly yet through the fog of sleep it sounded distant.

“Yeah, get up lazy bones” Pinkie Pie said shoving me off the couch. I opened my eyes and all I could see is their hooves.

“Come on, wake up Alex!” Rainbow Dash moaned while trying to get me up.That was when I saw a lot of presents under the tree, I sat up still half asleep and wondering how they had gotten here!

“Can we open our presents now dear?” Rarity asked from behind. They were prancing in place.

“Uh go ahead, I won’t stop you.” I said getting up slowly. They tore through them and I wondered where the extra presents had come from.

“Here Alex, this one is for you” Applejack handed me a small box. I opened it slowly but I had noticed the note on it already. To Alex from Celestia. Well that explains the gifts. I opened it and all it had was an IOU.

“What’s wrong Alex?” Applejack asked.

“This is the first christmas present I've ever got” I told her. They gave me a funny look. Thats kinda the reason I told them not to give me any presents. We shared a few laughs and they finally got to my gifts for them.

“Oh? You got us gifts? How thoughtful” Rarity said opening her gift. She took out the beautiful scarf that I found and bought for her. “OH MY SWEET CELESTIA! THIS SCARF IS TO SIMPLY DIE FOR!” she dramatically exclaimed suddenly playing the part of Jacobian Melodrama perfectly. She wrapped it around her neck and did a few poses. “Thanks dear, it is simply perfect!” She said giving me a big hug.

“I found it and thought of you” I said noticing the others glancing enviously over at her lovely new scarf. Fluttershy started opening her gift cautiously in her nervous manner.

“Oh my” she said with a big smile. She took out a cute little bow that was shaped and looked like a butterfly. “This is so cute!” she squeaked putting it in her mane. “Oh how did you know that I love butterflies?” she asked.

“Honestly I know you like animals and your cutie mark is butterflies and when I saw that I bought it instantly just for you.” I got a nice little hug from her. Then I noticed Rainbow Dash and Applejack had started to open their gifts as well.

“Alex this is the coolest gift anyone could give to me” Rainbow Dash put on her new sunglasses.

“Ah yeah! This cowgirl can now hog tie you now Alex!” Applejack jokingly threatened me. She gave a big creepy smile and I couldn’t tell if she was serious or sarcastic. She spun the lasso she got in the air. “I get the feeling like we are gonna get along much better now Alex” nodding her head towards me. I nodded back to assure her that I agreed.

Twilight and Pinkie Pie were next. Twilight opened and shrieked.

“Ahh new books! How did you know I like to read?” she bounced around in excitement. I got her the full series of Indiana Jones. She trolled at the back to understand what it’s about. “This is just like daring do I think.” She looked at it them, studying them quizzically.

I turned my attention to Pinkie Pie. She already opened the gift so I didn’t see her reaction. It was a combo pack: The worlds largest gummy bear and gummy worm. She smiled widely at it. “This is so awesome. Who knew you could make these any bigger!”

“Well I tried as hard as possible to think of a gift for you. Then I saw that and said ‘That’s for Pinkie Pie’” I told her. They all loved their gifts. That put a big grin on my face and there it stayed for the whole entire day.

Chapter eight

Few days later we were back in school and everyone, or everypony, was talking about what they got. The girls bragged about what they got from me which made be feel glad yet still embarrassed.

When we got into health class, we were separated. It was time to learn the pony anatomy. Over the course of the rest of the card marking we learn from Nurse Red Heart, a nice and kind yet serious white pony with pink hair, I thought to myself ‘What’s up with ponies and pink hair?’

“Okay kids, sit down. We’ve got a lot to talk about,” she started writing some stuff down on the chalkboard. It was easy enough to understand at first but as it so happened after a few weeks I was completely lost. The only thing I couldn’t wrap around my head was how pony babies were made. How do they have children! First it started off with magic then some crap about heaven knows what. Good thing it didn’t affect my grade much.

Those few weeks with Nurse Redheart were the most confusing part of my life, but what it made it even worse was with the girls. They were just about as confused as I was. After each day one of them would complain.

“I don’t get it Twilight” Rarity fussed.

“It doesn’t make a lick of sense” Applejack would say.

“I didn’t know Alex had a magical horn” Pinkie said. Thats where I drew the line.

“Oh god Pinkie no! I do not have a magical horn” I sighed and rolled my eyes. “It’s just an expression.” Twilight came in at this point.

“What’s going on here?” She asked.

“Alex says he doesn’t have a magical horn. But I know he does! Thats what Mr. House told us” She complained.

“He doesn’t have a magical horn pinkie. It was an expression” She told her carefully.

“Thank you for clarifying twilight” I said in exasperation.

“But I don’t know how it works out exactly though.” she was rubbing her chin. This didn’t look good for me. So before any of the two could react I ducked out of the house and went for a walk. A really long walk.

And so the end of the semester came. Unfortunately we still had the same classes, in fact the only class that changed was health. Instead we had a drawing class. Our teacher was Mrs. Phoenix; she was a lot like Rarity, she looked at every little detail when doing something, she was a perfectionist.

After a few weeks a question I had meant to ask them a while ago just popped up in my head. So I decided to ask them, the perfect time was dinner, as most of the time we would eat together.

“Hey girls I want to ask you something that’s been on my mind.”

“What do you want to ask us?” Rarity inquired.

“Well I want to know what you girls plan on doing for summer. Because we have like, three to four months. So if you want to go somewhere for a few weeks let me know.” I said whilst getting up to wash my plate. They looked at each other as if they had separate plans.

“Oh we will let you know when we rustle up some ideas.” Applejack waved me off. They started an idle conversation.

“Well if you would like help figuring out some of that stuff I'd be glad to help” I nodded with a smile.

Only a couple weeks were left and the girls are getting ancy. I had to find a way to calm them down at least. So I did the only thing I could think of. “Girls you need to calm down. It’s only the first year and you’re acting like you’re graduating.” I scorned them like they were little children or perhaps fillies...

“I’m sorry Alex. I’m just looking forward to our break” Twilight said

“Yeah! We’re going to go back to Equestria!” Pinkie blurted out.

“Oh is that the name of the place you come from?” I asked.

“Yes it is dear. How have you not learnt that?” Rarity remarked. I just replied with a shrug.

“Well we were planning on going back for the break so we can give you some time away from us.” Twilight explained, elaborating into their mindset.

“If that’s your decision. I won’t stop you. But what I really want to know from this is if you will be coming back for school next year” I said hanging my head down in shame. Twilight ran off to get the others.

“Well since we are all here, we’re going to tell you our plan. After spending a year here with you and going to school.” She paused and we spent an awkward moment sitting around. I decided to break the silence.

“What’s with this awkward pause Twilight?” I asked worried for the answer.

“Oh yeah I told her to take a pause for dramatic effect.” Rainbow Dash said she received a dirty look from Twilight for her comment but she sighed and continued.

“like I was saying, Yes we do plan on coming back. Might as well finish what we started right?” she said. I nodded to to show I approved of their decision.

“But we wanted to tell you in like the final week but now I think it’s better this way. You know I'm not good at saying goodbye Twi” Applejack said.

The last few weeks they tried to make it special. They wanted to leave with me having good memories that would last over the summer break. It saddened me though. I hadn’t made many friends in school and the ones who I did become friends with were ponies going back to equestria for the break.

The day came and school ended. It’s the day I’d been dreading. All my friends came to say goodbye to me. I was happy that they all said they’d come back. Then. The girls came to say goodbye.

“I might as well get this out” Rainbow Dash said followed by Applejack. They both gave me a quick hug.Then Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy hugged me goodbye as well. Then Twilight and Rarity.

“Will you write to me?” I asked shyly.

“Oh you can count on it!” Pinkie Pie yelled. She hugged me again.

A portal open up from behind them. I waved all of my friends off. Even the pony teachers went with them. Last one to leave was Fluttershy. She had something in her hooves. She quickly flew to me handed me a flower and was gone.

Now I’m alone with the fond memories.

Too be continued...

Chapter 1

Days went by when they left. I kept myself busy by doing their chores. At first I thought it would give me time to relax instead of having all those crazy ponies around the place but I soon came to realize how much I missed them.

I was patiently awaiting their letters but they still had come yet. Days kept trickling by and no word from them had yet come. It seemed as if they had lied to me. I guessed that shouldn’t have surprised me at all, a lot of people had lied to me over the years. I just had to get over it.

John had taken notice to my state of being. He was looking for something for me to do with someone else but he knew I would have no friends until the ponies come back from their summer break.

“Hey Alex, I think I’ve got an idea” He said one day to me.

“What could you have possibly come up with?” I asked looking down.

“Lets go somewhere, okay? I don’t know, like a vacation.” he rambled on about some places he knew about that would be great. I’ve decided to go along with him. It’s not like I have anything to do for months.

“Okay I guess” I mumbled.

“What did you say? Speak up!” he told me.

“I said okay! but one thing though.” I paused for a moment. “I’ve actually never been on a real vacation. In fact, I don’t think I left the state.”

“Aww don’t worry about that” he said hitting my shoulder as if were good pals. So we decided to take the rest of the week of in luxury.

I didn’t remember the name of the place we went to. But all I could say was that I feel so much better. As we came back I finally got a letter from the girls. It came out of nowhere.

I opened it rather quickly. I read it out loud for John to hear as well.

“Dear Alex, I am so sorry we couldn’t write to you recently. We have an obligation to the queen and she called for us. It seems that one of her oldest foes has escaped his stony prison. We had to use the elements of harmony to vanquish him back to his prison state. And we almost lost to him. But our friendship prevailed over his tyranny! But I want your opinion on this Alex. Do you think he deserved what he got? I started to think it is kind of unfair what happen to him. But what am I to judge our queens methods? But I’m getting off topic. We are doing fine. We promise to be writing to you more often. Sincerely yours Twilight Sparkle.” I finished reading the rest of the girls names.

“Seems like they had their hands full Alex.” John patted me back.

We got home a few hours later. I took my keys out and opened the door. The house should of been exactly how I left it. But it wasn’t. I almost ran to the phone to dial nine one one. I went into the girls room and found nothing harmed. I sighed in relief.

I walked out out and saw my brother’s room was opened. I curiously looked in. There was nothing in there. It was bigger than mine with it’s own bathroom and a large bed. I noticed a note on the bed.

I was reading it softly to myself. Hey Alex by the time you read this you will notice that the room is opened. I decided to let you have it. I also noticed you allowed more people into the home. I need to tell you this right now. Just watch yourself okay. I took all my stuff out of the room so now you can use it how you see fit. I can’t tell you where I am going. But I can tell you that I care about you deeply and I want the best for you. Get through high school and hopefully college. And if you find someone you care about more than anything else. Follow your heart. Your brother.

I can feel tears well up in my eyes. But I held them in. I wonder when he came. Whatever I thought. So I began moving my stuff into his room. The whole time I thought it would've been filled with a bunch of stuff. Like nunchucks and weapons of sorts. With clothes all over the place. Just like in the movies.

“Hey Alex where are you?” John yelled into the house. “I got a note from your brother you better come out and read it!”

“I know he cleaned out his room! I’ll be out in a second!” I hollered back. I put the last of my things down and headed outside. He handed me the note. “Well this is pretty much like the one he put in his I uh mean my room” I told him stuttering.

“So that’s why he came back” He was rubbing his chin. “He was never direct with his answers to anyone so who knows?”

“Do you know why?” I asked. He just shrugged. Then he turned and went back into his house. And I too went back into mine. I started to put some of my clothes in the drawers. The day drained away. So I decided to sleep in my new room.

Chapter 2

The next few weeks we’re only entertaining when I got new mail from the girls. Nothing more enjoyable than reading what they have to say. And all of the crazy things they have done. I swear they are the stereotypical high school students that just got out. All thinking they are invincible.

The school year is approaching slowly but only got two weeks left. The last letter said they are preparing to come back. It was signed by pretty much everyone I have gotten to know from last year. Even the teachers I had signed it. Cherilee, Roid Rage and Nurse Redheart. I got a large smile reading this.

I heard someone pull up into the driveway so I went to go see who it was. I was surprised to see that it was Mr. Walters. He got out of his car so I went out to go meet him.

“Hey Alex, what have you been up to?”

“Oh nothing really Mr Walter. What about you? Why are you here?” I asked him while we walked to the door.

“Well you know school is coming up? So I am here to deliver you and the girls their schedules.” he said respectfully. I sagged my head down. “What’s wrong?” He asked curiously. I opened the door and he looked around. “Where are they?” Then he shook his head and said sorry.

“Don’t worry they will be back soon. So you can give theirs to me and I’ll give it to them.”

“Another thing I forgot to mention. You will be put in a special program with them where you are the only human in a pony class. You did it last year remember? But I never told you why did I?” He was lost in thought. I snapped my fingers and he snorted a bit. “I’ve got some stuff to do I just wanted to give your schedule personally again. Stay safe little man” And he waved me off.

I went back inside to finish doing my chores. I still had to make the house look nice for when the girls came back. Since I haven’t been doing much of the chores lately I had to do more than I wanted.

I had to mow the lawn. Since Applejack and Rainbow Dash did it for most of the time I had to change it. So it felt so weird moving it around. It was adjusted to them and not for me. The lawn was getting pretty tall even for any lazy person's standards.

A loud cracking thunderous sound came in the back yard. I ran to the back to make sure nothing happened. The smell was unlike this world has seen. It was intoxicating. It was the smell of flowers freshly bloomed and the smell of delicious baked goods just being pulled out.

It was a portal from Equestria. I am sure they will come out of it. Few moments later they came trotting out of it. I waved at them. They came running fast. Really fast, so I braced myself. They still knocked me down hard.

“Alex we’ve missed you so much” Pinkie said laughing. Hugging me tightly enough to the point where I can’t breathe. They each took turns giving me a hug.

“Hey Alex, what goes on with you? What have you been up to? Like I’ve said we’ve been busy with the whole save equestria business. So we didn’t get letters from you if you sent any.” Twilight rambled on.

“Twilight!” I finally yelled.

“Yes Alex?” she asked snapped out of her daze.

“You’re being like an old woman and rambling” I laughed out loud.

“Oh I’m sorry I just get in the zone from time to time. Regardless, tell us what you did.” All eye were set on me. Since the only interesting thing I did was go somewhere with John and enjoyed some Rest and Relaxation.

“Well me and John went on vacation but nothing special.” I said with my hand behind my head.

“Your so uneventful dear!” Rarity said. I held my head down in shame.

“Well you girls make it more eventful at least” I said. They awed at my comment except Rainbow dash. As I learned she tries to act tough most of the time. I don’t think i’ve ever seen her emotional.

“Well let’s get inside girls” Applejack beckoned them to follow. Which they did do.

“Hey Alex you said your brother moved out and locked his room off?” Pinkie yelled. “Well it’s open now!” So I went inside to tell them. But they were already in the room.

“Oh does this mean we finally get to meet your big brother?” Pinkie said with such delight.

“Uh no Pinkie I’m sorry but you and I both missed him. I got back shortly before you came back” I said in a saddened tone. “I miss him but I missed you girls more though” They awed again and yet again Rainbow Dash didn’t. But she tried really hard and I could tell.

“How come he doesn’t stay?” Applejack asked

“I wish I knew” I shrugged the question of. They look a bit disappointed. So did I.

“So does this mean you won’t be sleeping on the couch anymore?” Fluttershy meekly said.

“No I will be sleeping in here for now on.” Saying with a smile. She gave a small smile. I guess she didn’t like the idea of me sleeping there anymore. I’m surprised that they even cared.

“We’ll I’m happy for you now you want have to sleep on that dank old couch anymore” Rarity glorified. I gave her a cold stare. She looked away in shame.

“Well girls, try to settle back in. You had an epic break so you must be tired” I gestured them out. They left my room filled with the visions of my room.

As the day came to its climax. It also came to its end. We settled into our beds and drifted off into a quiet sleep.

Chapter 3

The next day I woke up to smell of flowers. So I got up to find out the source of it. I walked outside of my room wiping my eyes. I walked into the living room with my eyes closed.

“Hey girls are you up?” I asked. I got no response. “Man where is this smell coming from” I moaned drowsily. I walked into the kitchen then out the back door. The scent grew stronger and stronger with each step.

“Oh Alex you scared me” Fluttershy yelped. I noticed she was planting some lovely flowers. I guess she wanted to surprise me with these exotic flowers. “Oh I was going to tell you but...” she stuttered.

“Don’t worry fluttershy. What kind of flowers are those? They smell wonderful.” I said sniffing them. She looked at me sniffing the flowers.

“You really like them? They only can be found in Equestria. So I believe they are the only ones here in your world.” She slowly mustered to say.

“Well they are beautiful. Thank you very much for bringing them.” She smiled and went back to planting them. I went back inside to see what the others were up to.

“Watch out!” Rainbow dash screamed. Then she knocked me over in a rush. I blacked out then.

I fluttered my eyes open. I can see the girls face closely. They were studying me while I lied down.

“Oh look he is coming through” Twilight remarked. I could barely hear her. “Hey ARE YOU OKAY!

“Ugh what happened?” I moaned.

“I knocked you down,” Rainbow Dash said with a little pride. “I was trying to see how fast I could get through the house but you ruined it!” She yelled and hitting my shoulder.

“Well as long as you promise not to bump into me again and leave me unconscious then by all means go for it,” I moaned rubbing my head.

“Oh I won’t. It was kind of a one time thing” She playfully joked. I stood up to get my bearings. She is a tough one thats for sure.

They left me to my business. I went to go to John's house. I wasn’t sure if he heard the thunderous noise that unfolded earlier.

“Hey John, you there?” I yelled

“What do you want now?” He yelled back. He opened his door. It looks as if was trying to take a nap.

“I’m sorry if I woke you but I wanted to let you know the girls came back” I told him. He waved me off and told me not to wake him up for pointless reasons. I apologized and left him alone. I hoped he would be a bit more excited. But he was tired from driving me around for the vacation we took.

The next few days we caught up with each other. I learned that the person that caused all their troubles back in Equestria was some sort of mythical creature named Discord. He sounds like a guy who just wants to be free. Don’t we truly all want that?

I had to check my new schedule. It didn’t seem that bad. Since I’m put in a special pony class or whatever for the rest of my school year. So that means Cherilee for my whole entire high school. U.S. history followed by english, Chemistry, Math, Pony history and art 2. I chose to take the pony history because it may help in the long run.

I almost forgot to give the girls their schedules. I’ve been so busy catching up with them that I forgot. So I had to look for them. My room was a little bit messy so it took me a while to find them, which I found half an hour later under my shirt.

“Hey girls, I forgot to give you your schedules” I yelled out to no one in particular. I couldn’t hear who it was that replied but I just left it on the kitchen table.

“Hey Alex, can you please come here for a second please?” It was Twilight. I came into the kitchen.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“I got something for you. It’s just a precaution. It’s for your own protection” She handed me a necklace.

“Uh Twilight this is nice but how is it going to protect me?” I asked.

“If you wear it, It will protect you from any magic done to you. I just want you to be safe” She said blushing. “Not that you need it or anything” She shied away.

“Well it looks great. Thank you very much for the concern.” I said putting it on. I felt a little twinge of something when I put it on.

“Just make sure not to get it wet. It can short circuit it. But I made some adjustments to it so if it does it will slowly fix itself” she said pointing to it.

“Did you make it?” I asked. She nodded for approval.

“It took me awhile to do it. I did it when we had time from that Discord incident.”

“Who is this discord?” I asked.

“He was the guy who troubled us in Equestria.” She looked down.

“What’s wrong?” I asked with concern.

“Well, remember reading that letter I sent you? Well I don’t think he deserved to be turned into stone” I could tell she was regretting what she has done.

“He was turned into stone?”

“Yeah I don’t know how or why but he did” She looked down, then back up at me. “What do you think?”

“Well I don’t know him or what he has done. If he was truly as bad as you make him out to be there must of been a way to coexist with him.” I looked at the time. It’s longer than I expected to be talking to her.

“Whoa look at the time” I said looking at the clock. She looked as if she was relieved that our conversation was over. Probably because she thought I was thinking she was falling for me or something.

With that over we left each others company. The day went on as it usually did like it did last year. I truly missed their company. And at least I know we have one class with them. I hope they see it the same way as I do.

I decided to go for a walk before the day ended. I planned to go alone but Pinkie Pie joined me.

“Hey Alex come on put on a smile!” She whined. And she waved to anyone who passed us. I kind of felt guilty because I completely ignored them.

“So Pinkie how have you been?” I asked her looking down to meet her gaze.

“I have been... Whoa oh no ah!” she suddenly hid under a tree. She motioned me to come but I didn’t.

“Pinkie come on what’s wrong?” She didn’t respond. She kept looking up as if something was about to fall.

“It’s my tail!!!! It’s twitchy twitchy twitch!” She frantically said. And started crazily looking up in the sky.

“What’s wrong with your tail? Did something get caught in it? I asked. Then something hit my head from the sky, and I instantly blacked out.

I fluttered my eyes open and could see Pinkie and Derpy hovering over me. They were talking to each other. As if they were catching up. I slowly got up.

“Oh we need to stop meeting like this Alex!” Derpy bubbled in delight.

“Oh Bubbles, how are you? And what did you do this time?”

“Well I was actually about to come see you and the others and deliver flower to you but it slipped and landed on your head!” She laugh at the fact.

“I told you my tail was twitching but you didn’t listen” She pranced around glorifying the fact. What did she mean by her tail twitching?

“Pinkie what are you talking about now?”

“Oh her tail is twitching” Derpy was now under the tree. My hand was on my face. I lost all thought and reason what is going on.

“Take it from the top. Tell me why your tail makes people nervous” I said frustratingly.

“Don't Cha know? When the the tail is a twitching. Things be a falling sillies!” She said as if were a common occurrence.

“I have no idea how that works Pinkie but whatever floats your boat” I said getting back on our walk. Derpy joined since she was trying to get to me. She has been busy being a delivery mare in Equestria, and the whole Discord thing made it harder for her. Which would make sense because the whole scenery was changed.

We got home and I opened the door for them. They went in and Derpy struck up conversations with each of them. I guess Derpy got along with them pretty well. She end up staying for quite some time. And I noticed the girls were getting tired but didn’t want to be rude.

“Hey Bubbles it’s getting late do you want me to walk you home?” I didn’t really want to but I can’t be rude to her. She has enough problems alone with just her name.

“Oh that would be great, I might get lost” She said waving her hooves at the girls. “So Alex” she started on and on. I nodded and said uh huh and stuff like that just to be nice. We arrived at her house and her parents were waiting at the door. The looked furious at her. “Well thanks for walking me home” She gave me a quick hug and slunk her way into their house. It seems like she has a strained relationship with her family.

When I got home the girls were already asleep, so I also slunk into my room and fell quietly on my bed and drifted off into a deep sleep.

Chapter 4

The first day of school came and, in some odd scenario, I wasn’t awake before them. I was shoved off the bed by Rainbow dash. Twilight was pushing me out the room.

“Okay, I’m up. I’m up!” I yelled. “Let me change my clothes before pushing me out of the room next time” I got up and walked back into the room to change. They keep banging on the door telling me to hurry up. “Give me a second please”

“Well hurry up darling we can’t wait forever” Rarity yelled.

“Yeah sleepy pants at this rate we’ll be late!” pinkie added. I came out all dressed up. We quickly headed to the bus stop and realized that we were like ten minutes early.

The bus came and we were off to school. I looked to see if there is any new kids on the bus. Which there isn’t any I could see. So I sat in a peaceful silence for the whole bus ride. Other than the fact the girls are pumped up except Rainbow dash. I don’t understand her to well. But then she doesn’t seem to enjoy school because she isn’t the brightest tool in the shed.

“I hope we can have a couple of classes together Alex” Twilight said in delight.

“Yeah now that would be so awesome” Rainbow dash screamed in a fan girl like tone. Then she started to blush wildly. “I mean it would be cool” she quickly mentioned.

The bus ride seemed shorter than it usually was. Probably because there was one less stop this year because some graduated last year and didn’t need to go anymore. I’m surprised that Applejack thinks it got even bigger. I smiled at that fact.

“Hey, what’s your first class Alex” Fluttershy asked.

“I got U.S. History first” I told her. She was sad we didn’t have the first hour of the day together, but I had Pinkie Pie and Applejack in it. We walked around and chat before class started. I was on my toes for Derpy. She had a mystical way of coming out of nowhere and being clumsy, but this time was different, She was walking with a few other ponies. I waved to her and she perked up a bit.

“Hey guys!” She yelled coming towards us. “Oh I am so happy to see you this morning!”

“Yeah us too” I said. She told her pony friends that she was going to hang out with us for a while. She talked about her classes and I found out we had Chemistry and math together.

The bell rang and me, Pinkie Pie and Applejack went off to history class. We had a plump male teacher named Mr. Adams. He was kind of jolly and seemed to be tired for some reason. We learned what we needed to bring for the class pretty much like and sort of history class. Paper and something to put it in. Applejack seemed a little bit interested in the class but Pinkie pie not so much. I was just about to fall asleep in class and then I was saved by the bell.

I headed off to my English class. I entered the room at the last minute. I looked around in it. A few ponies that I do not know and a few other humans. so I sat down. I had a pony teacher which is new for English. But it was ironically Cherilee.

“Hey Cherilee!” I yelled at her

“Oh hi Alex, how have you been?” She asked

“I’ve been great, but I didn’t know you were a English teacher. I thought you were a math teacher.” I asked her

“Well I teach more than one class. I’m teaching math, English, and I am your pony history teacher as well. She said smiling in delight. “Three hours in a day with my favorite human student” she kept on smiling and I started blushing. I sat down and paid close attention. I couldn’t disappoint the teacher who says I’m the favorite of anything. Her classes are fun and interactive.

The bell rang and I had chemistry next. Twilight and Rarity were in it and were delighted to see me in the class.

“Alex come let us introduce you to the the teacher!” Twilight squealing happily. Next thing you know she is dragging me to her. It was a zebra. First it’s talking ponies, now talking zebras.

“Oh the irony” I said softly to myself.

“Oh who is this we have here. New student came to hear. About the wonders of chemistry. As you will soon see.” she spoke in rhymes.

“Uh Twilight why is she uh speaking in rhymes?” I asked quietly.

“It’s just the way she is. Just give her a chance she Is a great teacher and a dear friend of ours.”

“Yeah Alex she cured us once with her bedazzling skills” Rarity butted in. The hushed up as she began class.

“Okay my students are you ready to do this? I’m going to show a live demonstration. The only one from my nation.” She quickly said. Dang how does she do it? She comes up with these at the top of her tongue? I could learn something easily just listening. She’d shown us a quick and pretty awesome explosion. How to mix and not to mix chemicals. Too bad we won’t be able to do anything until we learn the elements and stuff like that. She was interesting at the least. Twilight was wide eyed in her class.

The bell rang and I had to push Twilight out of her daze.

“Oh, what? Did I get lost in the class? Oh I just love school so much.” She was unhappy. But quickly perked up when I told her we had math with Cherilee next.

“How do you know it’s Cherilee?” she asked

“I had her last hour. I have her for three of my classes”

“Oh my Celestia your are the luckiest human there is!” Rarity complained

We got to our math class and Cherilee was already there. All the other girls were there. Fluttershy was upset because no one was in any of her classes.

“Oh I am so glad I finally have a class with someone I know. It’s been a long day for me so far. At least for the school year I can have something to look forward to!” Fluttershy rolled her eyes, and what made it even better was that the teacher was Cherilee ... Again. The class started and wouldn’t you know Rainbow Dash was late.

“Oh I am sorry Cherilee I was uh... in uh...” She tried looking for an excuse.

“Just take your seat Rainbow Dash.” She pointed the ruler to an empty seat. She quickly took her seat. She started talking about what we are going to be learning this year. I looked around and I knew this is the class Mr. Walter was talking about. I was the only human in the class. There is a few new ponies I haven’t seen but didn’t really catch their names.

The bell rang and now we have lunch. We went to the cafeteria together.

“Well that was a fun class. Who knew Cherilee can make math so fun?” Rainbow Dash said. We all nodded. We ate our lunches like we usually did. With a random conversation about school. I wonder why Rainbow Dash had been late. She probably just got lost or lost track of time something of that nature.

The time came and I had my pony history class with Cherilee. I came into the class filled with only humans. I kind of felt out of place even though it was right for me. I knew only one other guy in the class. Jimmy, he is kind of like me. We only had pony friends. We got along pretty well at this point.

“Oh well look who I have here again Alex” Cherilee pointed me out. Jimmy nudged me and asked if I knew the teacher. I told him I have two classes before this with her and that I had her last year. Now this is a class I really wanted to take. To understand ponies better and to find ways to help them fit into our world if the need arises, also to see what kind of holidays they have compared them to ours.

“So Alex since I know you best, do you know any pony history?” Cherilee asked me.

“Uh... um... somewhat. I know about Nightmare Night and Heartwarming Eve. Other than that nothing much.” I said thinking. “Oh wait, and what recently happened with that one guy. Oh what is his name. Uh, oh jeez, I know it. Discord! it’s Discord. He attacked Equestria or something of that nature.” I said

“How did you hear about that? It only happened about a few weeks ago.” She asked me quizzically. She came closer to me wonder how I knew this.

“Well Twilight Sparkle told me.”I said frantically

“Well we will talk about this soon class. This was a big event that happened and we will cover it within the next few weeks.” Cherilee told the class. She kept an eye on me for the entire class. As the bell rung I tried to get out but she blocked my path. “Alex can we talk for a moment?” She said getting closer.

“Uh... Cherilee you’re making me uncomfortable.” I said back away from her.

“Oh, I am sorry if I gave the appearance that make you uncomfortable. Well I just want to know how close you are to Twilight. Are you, you know- close?” she asked as if we were a couple.

“Oh no, no no no. Nothing like that at all!” I said waving my hands. I told her that she and the other girls just live with me, in a friendly non-romantic atmosphere.

“Oh I didn’t know, I’m sorry. Well in that case, here is my private number. If they cause any troubles and you need help give me a call. Those girls are a handful and will sooner or later get into trouble. They are like trouble seeking missiles when it comes to that.”

“Oh thanks, they lived with me for a year but haven’t give me any trouble as of late. So I hope I won’t have to bother you.” I thanked her and went off to my last class.

Next was my second art class. It was with someone named Mr. Dimmer. He was a crazy yet cool old guy. Always tries to get the kids to do their best. I noticed Rarity was in it of course. So was Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. I have no idea why Rainbow Dash would ever think of taking it but whatever. Fluttershy was just about as a good drawer as Rarity maybe even better in some aspects. We really didn’t need any instructions he said to draw anything you felt like and he would give you a grade for it. I’m, by any standard, not the best drawer in the class. Actually looking at the others I’m probably the second worst. Ironically I knew it was Rainbow Dash from the beginning.

The day ended and I waited by the door with the three ponies. It felt like minutes but only like two went by.

“Oh I’m getting worried Alex! What could be holding the others up?” Rarity started to get ancy. Then the came trotting out. “You started to make us worry!”

“Sorry our class was on the other side of the building” Twilight said catching her breath. I guess they had to sprint across then were caught running so the set a pace. I let them on the bus first. They went off into the back where we usually do.

We got home about thirty minutes later and we set off to do our own preparing for the school year. I helped them get the stuff out and get the things they need. They thanked me for the help. By the end the day we were set for the card marking. Shortly after they went off to bed and me too.

Chapter 5

The days went by and they once again adjusted to the school life, but the days seemed a little bit longer. I guess it’s because I’m enjoying it and making it last longer than others would. I kind of made the girls a bit famous in school by letting my pony history class know about the Discord incident. Rarity treasured the idea of being famous. Many people like the idea of historic ponies in our school.

Well that was met with some envy and some jealousy. Since they lived with me some people became jealous. Some even became angry. The school was split into some weird fan clubs for them. I laughed at the idea but people started taking it seriously.

Our first day off came which was for Halloween. I never really understood why we get this day off but I didn’t really care. I noticed they were preparing for this. Even the scared Fluttershy as well. She was too scared to even come out of their room. Now she was looking forward to go out more than the others.

“Okay Alex, what are you going to dress up for this year?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Dress up? No thanks” I quickly rejected the idea of dressing up for Halloween.

“Oh yes you are!” She snarkily said back. “We’ve got something for you to wear. And you’re going to dress up if you want to or not.” She left into their room. I guess they were changing into their costumes. So I went into the living room and started watching TV.

“Alright we’re coming out!” Twilight shouted. I guess she wanted me to be surprised.

“Close your eye’s we want to see what you think!” Pinkie Pie yelled. I did so because I don’t want to upset her. I closed them and heard the soft noises of them coming out.

“Alright, give us another minute dear” Rarity said as if something came up. I could hear them arguing. “No Twilight I’ve got to make it look perfect!” she managed to be hushed.

“Okay that’s it we are coming out ya hear that Alex?” Applejack shouted. I kept my eyes shut even though they said it will be another minute. I could hear them coming out again. They were right in front of me as I could guess.

“Uh... um... you can open your eyes Alex” Fluttershy told me. I opened my eyes and couldn’t believe what I saw. Rarity was dressed up like a princess. I could tell she took her time because it was really out of this world. Twilight dressed up like a ninja kind of like what Rainbow Dash did, but she looked like she has been through a war zone or something. Rainbow dash was some kind of knight. She says she is a royal guard to Princess Celestia. Pinkie Pie was a clown. Literally a clown and everything that goes with it. Applejack was some sort of country singer. She didn’t really have a specific singer in mind. Just country singer. And finally the shy little Fluttershy. She had a really good costume from what I could tell. I never seen anyone go out as a tree. I loved the wood. It was so realistic for the material Rarity used.

“Come on the night isn’t getting any younger” Pinkie Pie complained.

“I’m sorry but we’re waiting for Derpy” I told her.

“Wait what, you invited Derpy!” Rainbow Dash yelled.

“Yes I felt she wanted to come. Just give her a chance girls, she is cooler than you think.”

“I agree, we shouldn’t just blow her off anyways. Last year was fun with her so I have no complaints” Applejack concurred. We waited for a bit and she came. I looked to see what she was wearing, a bunch of boxes. I knew what she was and it was poorly made. I opened the door for her.

“Hey girls sorry I was late, had to put on my awesome costume!” Derpy said.

“You girls ready to go out?” I asked them.

“Oh you trying to get out of dressing up now huh? Well here go put this on!” Pinkie Pie tossed me a costume that Rarity made. It was a vampire costume. Even though I didn’t know they knew what vampires were, Rarity did a good job on it. I went in my room and quickly threw it on. I came out about three minutes.

“So how do I look?” I asked them embarrassed

“Oh you look so scary!” Rarity giggled.

“Oh yes you do!” Twilight joined her. Then they all started laughing. I guess I don’t make a good vampire but whatever.

“Come on let’s go!” Pinkie Pie started getting ancy again. We left and I locked the door. I kept behind like last year. I watched them as they went up to each door rang knocked or whatever they did to get the owner's attention. Sometimes the people were too scared to answer. And when that happen I couldn’t help but laugh really hard.

“What’s so funny Mr. Vampire?” Pinkie giggled

“Oh just how they’re too scared to answer” I told her. Their bags filled up rather quickly. They looked disappointed but I came prepared. “Oh girls I got extra bags for you! I’ll hold onto the ones you’re carrying” I gave them new bags and I started carrying theirs, and they were heavy. I had to slow my pace so I don’t get tired as quickly as I should. How in the heavens did they get so much?

“What’s wrong Alex? Getting tired?” Twilight asked. I shook my head. We continued on with the night. We ventured off far away from the house, but we decided to go home. Derpy lived close by so we walked her home. She thanked us for taking her out. She had a big heart warming smile.

“I guess I will see you guys Monday then!” She said waving us off. We started for home. I could have sworn these bags were getting heavier, but I was glad that we were heading back. I don’t know how much longer I could carry these heavy bags.

We got home and I just barely made it. My muscles were sore all over my body. Good thing I’m such a good actor. They didn’t know it was painful for me to carry their things. opened the door for them and they went in to sort out the candy they got. I almost fell on the ground from sheer exhaustion so I went off to bed. To wake up to the next probably finding candy by me.

Chapter 6

I didn’t get any candy from them this time which I’m kind of grateful they didn’t. Last time making kind of a fuss. Other than that things went smoothly. I’ve been learning a lot in school. It’s hard to keep track of six others. Especially with Rainbow Dash, her grades seems to fluctuate. I wish she would at least try to make and effort in keeping it consistent.

The weeks went by and I am glad there wasn’t anything big. Just the usual go to class get through the day. The go back home and relax for the rest of the day. I felt as if we should celebrate Thanksgiving but me and my bro only did that for anyone who stays with us, well now with me, we would celebrate it next year.

Days came even quicker and the days shorter. As fall comes to a close so comes the beginning of winter. I’m still amazed at the snow. Sometimes I just can’t help but wonder why we associate winter as being harsh and ugly. It’s only because what we do to it.

At one point the girls made a snow pony. I had no idea how you can even do that. I studied the phenomenon at a distance. I got nowhere with it so I shrugged it off.

“Why do you keep staring at the snow pony Alex?” Fluttershy asked meekly.

“Uh I was just curious that’s all” I stuttered. She looked at me shyly, then she started to explain how it works. I felt stupid listening. It was elementary school sort of ideas.

“And that’s pretty much to it” She finished explaining. I nodded off after her lecture. I quickly woke up to Pinkie Pie in my face.

“Oh Pinkie what did I tell you when you do that?”

“Oh you said to stop but I know you like it Alex!” she said smiling me in the face. I couldn’t help but smile back at her. “See I knew it!”

“Oh fine you caught me.” I said in return. She laughed away to herself. I noticed it was only a week until Christmas. I already got gifts for them again this year, but I noticed they had some stuff for me too. The tried to hide it from me but poorly did so. I just played along and not say I noticed anything.

The next few days we kind of spent it trying to hide things from each other. I hide my gifts from them well. They hide theirs in the room. I just wonder if Celestia will intervene in this holiday again. I got that IOU from her. Which I put it in the top drawer of my desk.

Christmas eve came and went. I quickly got the gifts for them and put it under the tree. They beat me to the point. They have already put theirs under before mine. I just took a second to look at the gifts. They varied in size but one stood out more than the others. It was decently big. I hope it wasn’t costly. I quickly put the gifts under and walked back to my room and went to sleep.

The next day I ended up waking up a few minutes before the others. So I decided to take a quick shower before they woke up. I am glad I have my own bathroom in my room. I took about twenty minutes to shower. I guess they finally woke up.

“You done taking your shower Alex?” Rarity asked by the door.

“Yeah give me a second and I will be out” I told her. She waited patiently for me to get out. For another minute or so I dried off and put on my clothes. “Okay what do you want?” I asked her cleaning my ears out.

“The others really want to jump into their gifts but are waiting for you” she said pushing a hair out of her face. We slowly walked into the living room where the girls were chatting amongst themselves. They shot at me as soon as I came in the room.

“Oh you’re finally awake huh?” Rainbow Dash said drowsily.

I could see Celestia added her own gifts into the pile. How does she do it? With her magic or something?

“What’s wrong Alex?” Twilight asked nudging me gently.

“Oh nothing don’t worry about it.” I said getting my head straightened out. I watched as they opened their presents from Celestia. I couldn’t help but wonder ‘Why does she take such good care of these girls specifically’. They finished up with Celestia’s gift.

“Her Alex these are for you” Applejack handed me a couple of presents. Celestia didn’t give me one this year. They could only handed me five because one was too big for them to lift up. Other than that I couldn’t even guess what they got me.

“Open mine first dear!” Rarity asked me politely. I did so without question. It was a hoof stitched sweater that truly wasn’t for me. It was by far the ugliest sweater a guy could ever want. It’s like a grandma's ugly sweater.

“Wow! Thanks a lot Rarity. This means a lot that you made it just for me.” I said smiling. Just to make her feel better, I put it on.

“Oh you look so good in it! I truly can make FABULOUS THINGS!” She squealed in delight. It was kind of itchy. She opened mine right after I did with hers. “OH MY GOD NO YOU DIDN’T” She yelled in happiness. She took out the hat that goes with the scarf I gave her last year. She quickly ran into their room, rummages through the drawers, and pulls out her old scarf.

“I take it you like it then?” I asked her.

“Yes Yes Yes!” She said then gave me a big hug. “What about you? Do you like mine?” she asked.

“Of course Rarity I do love it. It feels very comfortable.” I lied

“Oh you don’t need to lie to me Alex.” She pointed out. “All sweaters are itchy at first” I blushed a bit. Then I shrugged letting her know what I meant. Which was ‘Aww you got me. What can I say?’

“Oh mine is awesome, you should so open it next!” Rainbow Dash interrupted the moment. So I opened it quickly to give her some sense of me caring.

“Oh what is it? A rainbow between two glasses?” I asked looking at the gift.

“Yeah how did you know?” She said stupidly. “In Equestria we make our own rainbows. So I thought you’d like to have your own personal rainbow” She started opening her gift. She pulled out the hat that had the word SWAG written on the top of it.

“What does swag mean Alex?” she asked me looking at the unfamiliar term.

“Oh it’s the new way of saying cool. They say SWAG instead of COOL” I told her. Then her face made a large smile as she put it on.

“Swag huh? I like the sound of that” She said. Then she went off on a swag spree. It started to lose the spunky sound it had. Applejack started to open hers impatiently.

“Ah now you shouldn’t have!” She shucked. She pulled out the cowboy hat. It was made like hers but in better condition.

“How come I never thought of making you a new hat Applejack?” Rarity moaned jealously.

“Because you were so uppity with making fancy clothing you don’t notice the simpler things.” She said. They fussed a bit over the matter. Seeing them fight was a rare thing to see. Why they even fight about things like this is beyond my comprehension. I opened the one I got from Applejack. I took out the lasso.

“A lasso Applejack?” I asked her. She gave me a nod.

“I’m going to teach you how to use it properly. It’s going to be loads of fun.” She said showing me some basic moves on her own lasso. Then Fluttershy shyly hand me her gift.

“Here” She blushed away from me. I opened it and looked at what I was holding.

“Fluttershy how did you know I needed a new bird house?” I asked rustling her hair.

“You have a birdhouse?” she said innocently. Dang I forgot I that I don’t even have one. I put it off to the side for later. Fluttershy had just finished opening the box. “Oh this is just so wonderful Alex” She said pulling out the brown teddy bear.

“I know you really like animals so I thought since we can’t have pets in the house this could be the next best thing” I told her. She gave a little smile and thanked me.

“Oh Alex you must open mine!” Twilight told me commandingly. I did so carefully. I pulled the books out and look at them. “It’s the first in the series” She said tapping the book.

“Oh this is the book you were talking about when I gave you those Indiana Jones books last year” I asked her looking at the book.

“Yeah I am sure you’re going to love it!” She squealed in delight. Then she started to open hers without a care for the nature of the content. “Oh I completely forgot that you even had them. Sometimes I forget the simplest things.” She said hitting her head. She pulled out the telescope I got her.

“How could you forget they're stars in this world?” I mocked her.

“Oh you, shut it Alex!” She quickly joked back. Pinkie Pie was bouncing in place.

“Oh Alex how do you know how to give us the best gifts?” She kept bouncing around like a crazed toddler. She was happy with the helium balloon tank with a bag of balloons.”Yay I love balloons! Balloons! Balloons!” She repeated like the random girl she is.

“Well I guess we save the best for last huh?” I said out loud. I looked at the the large box.

“Well open it already silly!” Pinkie Pie pushed me towards the box.

“Alright don’t push me Pinkie Pie” I told her getting up. It was fairly large. Almost big as them. It was heavy so I had to just peel the wrapping off. Then I tore through the box. Then what I saw made me think she was crazy and insane. “Uh Pinkie this is uh...” I tried thinking of the right words to say.

“It’s a party cannon you goofball!” She started to show me how it works. Apparently it is used for making party adjustments. It fires out practical party items to wherever it is fired. So I tested it a few times. I was surprised it actually worked. I did a couple places. The last one I shot Pinkie Pie ended up jumping in the way purposely.

Celestia sent the girls a note. She wished them a great Christmas and me too. I wish I could see what this Princess Celestia looks like. From what people tell me she is an Alicorn, a pony with a magical horn and wings.

“Oh girls let write a letter back to her!” Twilight asked the others.

“You do that, I’m going to check up on John for a moment” I told them while leaving the house. I stepped out in the cold and walked over next door. I banged on his door three times and waited. He opened the door and gave a wide smile.

“Oh this is a surprise! How’s it going Alex? Did the girls enjoy their presents?” He asked gesturing me to come in. I walked in and sat down on the couch.

“I am good right now, and they loved their gifts again. They even went out of their way to give me something too.” I told him.

“Oh me, your brother and even your mom got you a gift. We know you’re going to love this.” He put a blindfold on me and lead me out back. “Okay I hope you like the gift we pooled together for you” He said taking the blindfold off.

“Oh... my...” I couldn’t finish my sentence because I was struck with awe. It was a brand new van. Big enough to hold I would say twelve to fourteen people in it.

“We got it for you so you can drive yourself around and not to take the bus anymore.” He opened his arms and I gave him a big hug. “And I’m sorry your brother can’t be here, nor your mother. I haven’t seen your mother since....” He stopped himself in his track.

“Yeah please, don’t talk about it” I turned away from him at that point. “It’s a painful memory and you know it”

“I’m sorry it slipped my mind. But hey go get the girls and show them your new car. By the way where did you get that nice sweater?” John asked me pulling on the sweater. I forgot that I had it on.

“Oh you like it? Rarity made it for me” He took it casually as if he knew.

“Oh that’s nice of her. I guess she really does care about you” He gave me a gentle punch to the shoulder. I hope he is not thinking what I’m thinking. I walked back to the house a little faster than I came to John’s house. I swung the door open and yelled out for them.

“Hey girls I want to show you something!” They came trotting outside.

“What is it Alex?” Applejack asked unknowingly. I just told them to follow me to the back of John’s house. The paced themselves behind me as I picked up the pace.

“Oh hi ladies!” John waved at them.

“Oh who’s car is that?” Twilight asked. “Oh is it your brothers? Or your mothers?” She asked. I stopped in my place. They kept going but Twilight. “Was it something I said?” she asked kind of unhappily.

“Oh it’s not either of theirs it’s mine” I told her. She was excited to the idea. “But please don’t bring up my mother again. I will tell you all at some other time.” She hung her head down feeling guilt for not knowing, but I gave her a little pat on the head to make her feel better. They opened the doors and sat right in it.

“Hey Alex lets go for a ride!” Rainbow Dash hollered. They were all anxious.

“Sorry girls but I don’t have my license yet.” I told them. They were all disappointed.

“Don’t worry Alex what the police don’t know won’t hurt them.” He tossed me the keys. So I got into the car and started it up. I drove out and went around the block. The girls were going wild. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were shaking the car around while Pinkie Pie stuck her head out the window. Twilight and Rarity were messing with the radio and Fluttershy was sitting quietly. I pulled up in my driveway and parked the car.

“Does this mean we won’t have to take the bus anymore?” Rainbow Dash asked getting out of the car.

“Well once I get my license of course.” I told the eager rainbow colored pony.

“And how long could that be darling?” Rarity asked. I shrugged unknowingly.

“That all depends if I can pass the test or not then got to got to Secretary of State and get all the things sorted out” I told them straight forward.

“Well Alex, I got you scheduled for your parking and driving test in the next two days so you should practice then” He told me walking back to his house.

“Okay John will do!” I shouted after him. Me and the ponies went back into the house and enjoyed the rest of our time together.

Chapter 7

We got back to school and as last year they bragged about their gifts. I bragged about the fact I got my car and license in the whole entire time. I even got a free parking pass from Mr. Walters so I was able to drive the ponies and myself to school.

“Did we thank you yet for driving us Alex?” Twilight asked again.

“Yes Twilight you have for the thirtieth time” I said rolling my eyes. By now they should be happy with me. So much has happened since Christmas. Our classes change the following month.

Nothing really changed for me. My classes stayed the same. The only thing that changed was my art class is now art three and not two. Rainbow Dash was moved out and Fluttershy in. She is a much better drawer then she was, but this means I’m the worst in the class. Still I’m loving Mr. Dimmer.

The day is April first and it’s the worst day ever. Mr. Walter decided to allow and promote a challenge for the students and faculty.

“For now on every year at this prestigious school, we will have a pranking event. We encourage everyone to jump in on the prank wagon. Princess Celestia has put a magical spell on the school to show who is still clean from pranks. So this will be a tournament. The winner, if a student will get a prize as well as the faculty. Last one standing wins! I shall too be participating. So good luck to those who join in!” Then the announcement ended.

“Oh god I know why he is doing this” I shook my head in disappointment.

“Why is he doing this then Alex?” Fluttershy asked. I kept shaking my head in shame know the fact. “Alex you here with us?” She asked afterwards.

“Oh sorry Fluttershy, I was just planning things out.” I told her scratching my chin.

“What are you possibly planning Alex?” Rainbow Dash said in a sarcastic tone. I shot her a serious look then laughed because she took it seriously as well. “I’m still going to get you for what you did last Halloween and don’t you forget it!” She flew off. Now I got another problem to deal with.

“Hey Alex I hope you are going to enjoy this little event I put together!” I turned around to a Mr. Walters half cocked smile.

“I told you I was sorry for what I did!” I yelled at him.

“Oh I am just going to get back at you though! It ain’t fair that you are UN-prankable” He pouted. I could easily tell the girls were confused. “Just watch yourself I’m gunning for you! And the prize too!” He walked on.

“What was that all about cowboy?” Applejack asked stupidly.

“Oh I pulled pranks on him so much back in the day” I rambled on. “Now he wants to get back at me for all those pranks” I told them.

“Oh pranks! I’m good at pranks!” Pinkie Pie bounced off in delight.

“Oh I don’t want to participate” Fluttershy hid behind me.

“Neither do I” Rarity announced. “For one thing it will mess up my beautiful mane!” She brushed her hair with delicacy.

“Oh Rarity, come on it will be fun! You too Fluttershy!” Applejack dragged them away leaving me and Twilight by ourselves.

“Well I guess we are enemies for today Alex! Brace yourself” Twilight said trotting off. I put on the magical necklace Twilight gave me. It was cold to the touch at first. I rarely put it on, but this is a special occasion.

I first noticed people who are participating have floating little things around them. I had no idea what they did, but I do know, that they vanish if you get pranked. I’m a natural at avoiding pranks. I never knew why but I just did.

The first of us out was, sadly, Fluttershy. If I had a choice I would've help her avoid all the nasty pranks people can do. She didn’t stand a chance. I passed her by in the hallway and quickly stopped her.

“Hey Fluttershy are you okay?” I asked curiously.

“Don’t worry it was a harmless prank. Though I told you I do not like this sort of stuff. It was a simple whoopee cushion. At least it wasn’t something unpleasant” She hung her head down. I put my hand on her head.

“I’m just glad it wasn’t something mean. People will do anything for this I’m guessing. I guess the prize must really be worth it.” I said to Fluttershy. She gave me a little head shake and we parted ways. I saw Rainbow Dash around the corner, probably out to get me.

“Hehehe as soon as he walks around this corner then BAM! He will get what’s coming to him” Rainbow Dash muttered to herself. Shows what she knows. I walked around to the side hall that she overlooked. Now I am standing right behind her. Now what should I do?

“Hey Rainbow Dash!” I shouted behind her. She jumped up and gave a loud yelp.

“God da-” She was about to finish but she got the hiccups. They came violently and often. “Oh *hiccup* a lot *hiccup Alex now I have *hiccup* the hiccups” she couldn’t stop. She also lost the contest. “Oh I won’t get the prize now! Thanks a lot Alex” She stormed off to her next class.

It’s only been the first three class periods and about eighty percent was knocked out. During class I got a call from the office saying I needed to go to the principal’s office A.S.A.P. I knew what he was trying to do. But irregardless I had to go. I walked past each class looking into them to see what was going on. Zecora lost hers since I last saw her, so did Cherilee.

I was now standing in front of the slightly opened door. I thought to myself ‘wow, he is really predictable’.

“Alex please do come in!” Mr. Walter shouted from his desk. I extended my hand and pushed the cracked door open. A bucket of water fell and made a huge mess. He sighed and called the janitor.

“Oh Mr. Walter you are not good at this.” I told him stepping over the puddle of water. He gave a quick smile and gestured me to take a seat. I moved slowly to the chair and pulled it out. He kept a big smile on his face. I reached my hand down on the seat and removed the whoopee cushion.

“Dude you can’t get me!” I laughed at him. He was getting frustrated. I’ve noticed he still had his little thing floating around him to indicate that he was still in the contest. I chuckled at the thought how he even made it this far.

“You’re failing all your classes Alex” He got up off his seat. To end his little charade I put the whoopee cushion on his seat. “You’ve got a lot of explaining to do young man” He slammed his hands on the desk.

“Dude what’s with the hostility?” I asked him.

“You think I am kidding here Alex?” He shouted really loudly. Now I’m starting to think he is serious. He took his seat and well, I won. “Dang it I thought I had you! I tried do something different. Oh well you bested me...Again” He pouted.

“And my grades are fine?” I asked.

“Nothing is wrong with them, just needed something to get you down here. Well, get back to class. Good luck with the rest of the winners.” He let me go after that. Class ended so I went to my to lunch. I sat with the girls like usual. It seems all but me and Pinkie Pie are left. They wouldn’t tell me what happened to them. They say it’s too embarrassing.

“Hey Alex I heard you got the principal!” Pinkie Pie laughed in delight. I guess news like that gets around quickly.

“Hey I don’t see that anyone else is still in on the contest.” I told them looking around.

“Well of course, we are the only ones still in this shin ding” Pinkie Pie replied.

“Really, just us?” I took another look around. Then the announcements came on.

“Hey student and teacher body. Mr. Walters here with news of our final contestants!” The announcements were really loud. It was just me and Pinkie Pie as he said. People turned and looked at us.

“Hey Alex” Rainbow Dash nudged me. “You’re going to have your hands full with Pinkie Pie” She giggled. I looked at the pink pony and she was giving me a really serious look.

“I’m keeping my eyes on you Alex” She said turning away from me. Then she trotted off to her next class.

I walked away from the girls. I went straight for Pinkie Pies locker. And I planted a little surprise in there. I went through the day like usual. Later on the announcements came back on.

“It seems we have a winner! Alex come on down to my office” The speakers boomed. I walked to the the office while giving out high fives and the newly dubbed bro hoofs. I got to the office and he was waiting outside for me. “Well I had my doubts for you” He was blushing then laughed. “Well here is your prize. These allow you to take the day off, just tell me when you want off” He handed me seven tickets.

“Does this mean I’m the only one allowed to use them?” I asked him holding the tickets in my hands. “I mean can I give them to someone else? asking meekly.

“If you want too. Just let whoever you want to give them to, to arrange a time they want off and hand it to me.” He told me. I gave him a smile and quickly left for the my car. The girls were waiting for me.

“So, what did you get? huh? huh? huh?” Pinkie Pie got up in my face. They were all eager to know.

“Well I got some tickets from Mr. Walter” I said holding the tickets out.

“Well dear what are they for?” Rarity asked politely. Now they bunched their heads together and we're looking at me uncertainly.

“Well they allow me to take a day off school for each ticket. I just got to let Mr. Walter know when I’m taking the day off” I stuffed it in their faces.

“Now you don’t you go and show boat your winnings Alex” Applejack told me.

“Well now! I guess I’ll give the other six tickets to someone who appreciates some show “ I boasted, laughed at her.

“Wait seriously? You could have a whole week off!” Rainbow Dash was excited now. I nodded to confirm that , I indeed meant to give them the tickets.

“So you girls want to take a day off?” I asked them holding out six tickets. They smiled widely at me.

“Oh you’re so thoughtful! Are you sure though? I mean a whole week of Alex” Twilight said taking one of the tickets.

“Oh I am positive” I told them while getting in the car. They all squealed in delight. Then came the simultaneous ‘Thank You!’. We decided on having the Friday off so we can have a three day weekend. I drove them back home and we went on about our usual business. Other than each of them coming up to thank me.

Chapter 8

Days are prevalent and seemed to be lingering. Then it nears the end of the year. I have been one of the luckiest guys around. Jimmy agrees to some extent. Being the only human friend I’ve actually made in high school makes his word have more meaning.

“Alex you’re only lucky because you have six really nice and beautiful ponies living with you. Other than that you’re not lucky” He would say.

“Why you say that?” I would respond.

“If you haven’t noticed that I love ponies more than humans. They are what this world needs. And you have six really amazing ones living with you!” He mentions. I can’t argue that, they are six amazing special ponies. Not just personality but what they have done.

Now I can’t stop thinking about what they will do for the summer. I’m pretty sure they will go back to equestria. But if they want, they can stay here as long as they want

“Hey girls I want to talk to you for a moment!” I shouted in the house. I heard them coming off in a distance. I took a seat.

“Hey Alex what’s up” Rainbow Dash appeared followed by the others.

“I just wanted to ask you what you will be doing for the summer” I asked casually.

“Oh I forgot girls I’m sorry!” Twilight blurted out. They had their own little argument with her. “Alex we are going back to Equestria for the summer, but we promise to write and that we will be back a month before school starts.” She smiled innocently at me.

“Yeah I would've told you but... uh... Twilight beat me to it” Rainbow Dash said rubbing the back of her head.

“I hope we don’t have an incident like with Discord this time. Seems like we may end up doing all this funny business for the queen.” Applejack mentioned. “That Discord fella was a pain to deal with. With all his fancy words. ‘Twist and turns and back where you began’ All that nonsense” She was getting frustrated thinking about it.

“Yeah that was the worst moment of my life” Rarity added.

“Are you sure? You thought a boulder was a giant diamond!” Pinkie Pie laughed out loud.

“I thought I told you to never mention that again!” Rarity stomped away angrily.

“The after effects of discord still lingers” Twilight mumbled to herself.

“Well if you ever change your minds you’re still welcomed to stay with me.” I told them except for the angered Rarity.

“Thanks for the offer Alex” Fluttershy said meekly. The same was followed by the other ponies. I would loved if they stayed. Maybe I should ask if I could come. I know that Celestia doesn’t allow humans into Equestria.

“Well we got a few more days to decide what we want to do” I told those who remained. With that said I left them to themselves and their thoughts. Maybe then they would rethink their plans. If not I’ll be alone for another summer.

The remaining days trickled by and they haven’t changed their minds. But there is good news, some of the other ponies will stay, but I don’t know them. I kept sighing the day they were about to leave.

“What’s wrong Alex?” Twilight asked with concern.

“Oh I’m just going to miss you all that’s all” I sighed in exasperation.

“You know that we will write you?” Applejack added. I forgot all about them being able to be writing to me. The idea slipped my mind for the last few days.

“I hope you do,” was all I could muster without getting emotional. The portal open up from behind them. The smell of flowers and pastries followed with it.

“Hey sorry we’re late!” Jimmy came from out of nowhere with Mr. Walter and John.

“What are you two doing here?” I pointed to Jimmy and Mr. Walter.

“What, can I not say goodbye to my students?” Mr. Walter questioned me. I shrugged with absolutely no care in the world.

“And you Jimmy?” I asked him.

“And I can’t say goodbye to some of my dear friends Alex? Huh?” He put the guilt on me now. I too gave him a shrug of absolutely no care whatsoever.

“Oh everyone is here to say goodbye to us!” Twilight smiled widely. They waved us goodbye. And they vanished into the world of wonder. Mr. Walter put his hand on my back and we went back into the house.

Chapter 1

We went back into the house and talked for a bit. They left about an hour later from their departure. I had to find something to do. I don’t plan on getting a job this summer for few reasons. I thought to myself “Maybe I should get a job. Last year wasn’t exciting.” But I had no desire to work.

“Well I should check around the house and clean up a bit.” I muttered to myself. First on my to do list was clean the basement. But it wasn’t in need of a cleaning. Next was to clean the kitchen. I had to thank the girls for not doing the dishes

“Well I guess they finally decided to make me do something.” saying out loud. The dishes were stacked real high. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. How does anyone have this many dishes? Surely I knew this was going to take a good hour to finish. I worked faster than I believed. Next was the living room.

“Huh? it’s clean.” Saying in somewhat of a tone that I should've known but not guessed it. Onwards to the next to do on my list which was my room, check. Didn’t even have to bother with mine. Now what to do?

“Oh that’s right I’ve got to check up on their room!” I slapped my head forgetting. I open the door kind of slowly. “Holy mother of god!” I shouted out loud. It was a pigsty. There was stuff EVERYWHERE. Scraps of cloth for making clothes, party stuff was everywhere! Stacks of books cluttered. Don’t forget all the stuff Applejack and Rainbow Dash thrown on the ground.

“Thank the gods that Fluttershy was the only tidy one around” I said in relief. I looked at the bed. “Aww she left her teddy bear” I breathed to myself. She hasn’t left one night without it since I gave her it. So I tucked it under the blanket where she slept. I clean up most of the messed, Or at least just moved it around.

The following days I was pretty sure I would get some mail from them, and of course it did. I took the piece of paper that appeared from my eyes and read it.

Dear Alex. You will never guessed what has happen to us! My big brother Shining Armor just got married! But that isn’t the half of it. Some mean old princess of the Changelings intruded on the wedding. She appeared to be my brother's fiancee Princess Cadence, then she lead her minions into the capital, Canterlot. She took down Celestia and us! I feel as if we let her down. But my brother and his love pulled through and sent them packing! I love my brother, you should tell your brother that too! That’s if you can get in contact with him. Sincerely yours Twilight Sparkle. And the others signed it too.

“Well, I’ll write back to them.” I started scribbling some things that have been on my mind and signed it. I went in my room and pulled out the special lighter from Celestia a while back. I haven’t actually used it I think. So I set the the sucker on fire. The green magical flames swallowed it whole, and then it vanished. I wonder if they will respond immediately.

“Well I guess I am done with cleaning up for today” I told myself rubbing my hands together. Now what am I to do? Might as well go to bed since it’s late.

The next few days I received periodic mail from the girls, in which case, I respond to most of them. But one day I got some mail like the girls would, but addressed from some group of fillies. They called themselves the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They wanted me to join their little club of three. They want to know if I had a cutie mark like these ponies usually do. Do I really want to involve myself in this? Just for the giggles I responded yes and sent it back to them.

The next few days I received random letter from the girls and this new group of fillies I’ve never heard of. They told me to try random things to earn a cutie mark, like ride a bike as fast as I can or go run a lemonade stand. I wish I knew why I am doing this, but it gives me something to do.

The next few days were peaceful and uneventful. So I went out for a drive. I didn’t realize what time it was. It was getting dark out so I headed on back home. I saw that Mr. Walter was parked on the curb of the street talking with John. I pulled in looking at them.

“Hey Alex, park your car and come here for a second.” John asked me pinching his nose. He seemed to be distraught. So was Mr. Walters. I got out of the car.

“What’s up you two?” I asked innocently. The Mr. Walter put his hand on my shoulder.

“Something terrible has happened Alex” He tried to be straightforward.

“What happened Mr. Walter?” I was getting impatient now. The anticipation was killing me.

“Alex Your brother is...” John paused looking for the right words.

“What about him? Is he coming to visit?” I was getting overly excited now.

“Your brother is dead” He finally told me.

“He.. he... he’s what?” Tears welled up in my eyes. For a second I thought it was just some cruel joke.

“He joined the army and was killed in action Alex” he was trying not to break down. “That’s why he left you that note last year remember? That's why he gave up his room. He wanted you to stop sleeping on the couch. And it worked I guess.” He looked to Mr. Walter for support.

“Alex. There is going to be no funeral either. They can’t recover his body, and if they did, they wouldn’t allow the public to see it.” He didn’t even take a second to think of better wording. I broke down crying as if a little kid just lost his favorite toy.

“John, help me get him inside. We don’t want anyone to see him like this. He’s in a delicate state right now.” They then lifted me off into the house and put me on the couch.

They tried to comfort me for the next few days. My tears dried up and I couldn’t muster up anymore. My tears turn into hate, then into depression. The girls kept sending me mail. I couldn’t bear to read or even open them. So John read it out loud to me. I wanted to respond to them and tell them what had happen but I didn’t.

A few weeks went on by and I couldn’t really do anything because I was so depressed. The girls kept questioned why I haven’t been sending the mail. John found the lighter and wrote to them.

“Alex I told them to keep sending you mail so you have something to look forward to, but I also told them that you’re having a hard time replying and that you WILL tell them why you haven’t,” and with that, he left.

Several more weeks went by and finally came the last week of me being alone. The girls are coming back next week because they want to see what’s going on. If I looked carefully they will be here a month before school starts again. That idea perked be up for a bit, but not for long.

The next thing you know they came. I heard the loud thunderous crack in the back yard. I also heard John speaking to them.

“Girls... Alex is in a real delicate state. So try as hard as possible to make him feel better. Me and Mr. Walter tried and failed many times.” I heard him. He didn’t even try to keep me from knowing. I heard them coming through the back door.

“Um Alex?” It was Twilight to speak first. “What’s wrong? Did something happen? Why couldn’t you write to us?” She asked trying to prod the answers out of me. They kept nudging me back and forth.

“My brother...” I was about to tell them then they interrupted.

“Your brother? Where is he? Do we get to meet him?” Pinkie Pie bounced in delight. She does that when she gets introduced to someone she hasn’t met yet.

“No Pinkie Pie you can’t meet him” I told her.

“Why not?” she was pouting.

“Because he is...” Interrupted again by her.

“Is he shy? Or is he playing hide and seek? I love hide and seek!” She was no in a sugar induced like frenzy.

“Pinkie Pie stop he’s trying to tell us.” Applejack stopped her.

“Alex darling please tell us.” Rarity motioned for me to continue.

“Is he here is all I’m asking” Pinkie Pie did it again. The other gave her an angry glare. She stopped right in her tracks. Even the timid Fluttershy gave her a cold stare.

“My brother is dead girls” I sobbed away in my hands. They looked at me in disbelief. I saw Twilight to start tearing up.

“Is this some kind of cruel joke Alex?” Rainbow Dash said angrily.

“No, I’m not lying. He is really dead.” I said again. Twilight start drizzling down her tears but wiped them as quickly as possible. Then the next few days they left me alone to weep.

Chapter 2

They had a group meeting that I wasn’t part of, but I can hear their hushed tone from the living room.

“Okay girls, how are we going to cheer him up?” Twilight said softly. I couldn’t help but wonder if they are trying to be quiet for me not to hear or to actually hear them. “Pinkie Pie you’re the best at making people smile so what should we do?” They asked the hyper energetic pink pony.

“I’m sorry but honestly I never met someone who had lost someone dear to them.” I can hear the sadness in her tone.

“Well, no matter what we do, I’m pretty sure it will help” Applejack said.

“We’ll do whatever you can girls” Twilight ended the group meeting. They looked at me with sadness when they came in.

“Hey girls, let’s go for a walk and discuss some things” Rarity said opening the door. They all followed and let me be.

“Oh why me god? Why must you torture me with death and sadness” I moaned to myself. “It isn’t fair. You took a special part of my life away so quickly. You didn’t even give me to say goodbye to him either” I looked up with my sore eyes. And shortly after I fell silently asleep on the couch.

The door opened and they were back. They fumbled around by the door.

“Aww he is sleeping girls. Let’s let him sleep here. It’s getting late we might as well go to bed too” Rarity said. With that being said they left me to weeping in silent sleep.

I didn’t sleep much. I have nightmares and lucid dreams of my brother. Saying stuff like he’s still alive. It’s been happening since the day I was told. Sometimes I wake up screaming for no apparent reason. This frightened the girls and they came out of their room to investigate.

“What’s wrong Alex? Are you having another nightmare again?” Applejack said.

“Yeah” I sighed. They sat there rubbing my back for a bit.

“It will be okay man” Rainbow Dash said patting my back.

“I’ll be okay girls, you can go back to bed” And I pushed them out of my room.

“Are you sure dear?” Rarity asked. I nodded and went lazily off to bed. And I just fell into my bed.

The next day they tried to perk me up individually. First was Rarity to try.

“Here take this” She handed me silk pajamas. “When I feel down, nothing feels better than wearing silk pajamas” She said rubbing the pants. I looked down at her into her deep blue eyes. They twinkled in delight. “Go on, put them on!” She shoved me into the closest bathroom. I put them on and went out. “How do you feel now?” She said looking at me in amazement.

“They’re comfortable” I managed to say. It made me a bit drowsy, then I passed out. I felt someone shoving me while I slept.

“Hey partner wake up!” Applejack said smacking my face.

“Ow why you hit me?” I asked rubbing my face. It stung as much as me feeling bad.

“Come one we are going for a walk” She said pushing me more.

“I don’t feel like walking” I complained. The fact was I hadn’t eaten a lot or drank nor slept. “I can barely even stand” I told her honestly. She let out a big sigh and left to get something.

“Alright I am only doing this for you so get no funny ideas” She came out with a saddle on her back.

“What are you doing Applejack?” I asked meekly.

“You need fresh air!You’ve been cooped up in this house for Celestia knows how long!” She yelled at me. “Now hop on my back and I’ll carry you. But no funny ideas either!” she said.

“No Applejack I won’t let you degrade yourself like this. Just help me stand up.” She lifted me up on my feet and we walked out. The fresh air did make a lot of difference. I felt a bit more alive. We were gone for quite some time.

“Don’t tell anyone that I was about to use a saddle to carry you please” she asked shyly. I nodded. Shortly after we got back home.

“Thanks” I said slinking away. I looked back and she was gone. I turned back around to see Rainbow Dash up close staring into my eyes. “Uh Rainbow Dash? What are you doing?”

“Oh sorry I was looking at you” She said looking away blushing wildly.

“You were?” I asked her teasing her a bit.

“What? No!” She yelled. “Come on let’s go do something!” She took my arm and tugged me away.

“Rainbow Dash! Where are you taking me?” I tried to ask her but she was quick to dodge the question.

“You’ll see” She just said. I couldn’t see where she was taking me. “We are here now look up! I want to show you something special!” She sprinted off.

“Hey where did you go Rainbow Dash?” I yelled out loud to anyone. I looked up and it was dusk. The sun was setting at a beautiful view. I heard a really loud boom. One that a jet would make when it hits mach five, then I saw a beautiful rainbow appeared out of nowhere. It came in a perfect arc.

“Did you see it huh? huh?” Rainbow Dash skidded to a halt right behind me.

“I saw a beautiful rainbow appeared out of nowhere.” I told her as if no one would believe me.

“You idiot I MADE THAT RAINBOW!” She yelled as if I should of known.

“Ruh.. Ruh.. Really?” I stuttered. She gave me a nod.

“Just for you! The only human to see my Sonic Rain-boom!” She said pridefully.

“Rainbow Dash that’s amazing” I tried to be enthusiastic but feeling bad lately put me in a downers mood on the best occasions.

“Ah come on!” She yelled storming off. I followed her a bit, but she is too fast. And I lost here somewhere. I headed on back home and it was still light out. I opened the door and sat on the couch.

Fluttershy crept out of nowhere and sat right next to me. She slowly got closer to me and laid her head on my arm, gently snuggling it without saying a word. The yellow pony did that periodically for a few minutes and the next thing you know my head was tilted and on top of hers. She sighed happily from time to time to let me know that she was still there.

“Thanks Fluttershy I am going to bed. See you in the morning” I said and she woke up from her little nap on my arm.

“Aww okay good night. Hope you get some sleep” She said yawning. She went to her room and so did I. I crashed out on my bed.

“Alex are you still up?” It was Twilight.

“Yes what do you want?” I asked sleepily.

“I was hoping you would let me read you the next book in the Daring Do series?” she asked shyly. I moaned a bit. Honestly I can’t fall asleep.

“Go ahead Twilight” I gave her the okay. She perked up immediately. Then she start reading it loudly. I really wasn’t paying attention to her. She got into it as if she was in the story herself. She went to some bizarre lengths reading it, such as acting parts out. After about an hour of her reading I just fell blankly and randomly asleep. She used her magic to tuck me in.

“Good night Alex. Sweet dreams” She gently whispered then left. I am glad she read to me. I didn’t get any nightmares that night. I thought to myself ‘did she do some sort of magic on me?’ But that couldn’t work because I was wearing her special necklace.

I started hearing clanking of some sort. I tried to ignore it as much as possible. But eventually I couldn’t stand it any longer. My eyes flutter open.

“Woah don’t get up quite yet Alex” It was Pinkie Pie.

“What are you doing Pinkie...” I set myself to sit upright and saw myself getting served breakfast in bed. She just finished pouring a glass of orange juice. Then she quickly look at me.

“Surprise! I’m giving you a five star breakfast in bed!” she said happily. There was a wide spread of items across my bed. It ran down all the way to the end of the bed.

“Uh... Pinkie Pie I’m not sure I could finish all of this” I told her looking at all the exotic foods.

“Well I didn’t know what you would like in bed. So I pretty much made everything I could. I hope it puts you in a better mood!” She smiled at me. I knew she wanted me to smile back but I simply couldn’t.

“Hey Pinkie Pie?” I asked her.

“Yes?” She cocked her head a bit trying to get me to smile still.

“Care join me in this amazing breakfast” I told her. She looked very disappointed. So we started eating the wonderful meal. I can’t stand to see her like this, all sad with her hair straight and not poofy like it normally is. And what happen to her upbeat attitude? We finish some of it and we were full.

“Alright I’m going to go now” She said hanging her head down. What is wrong with me? How can I make this pink pony frown?

“Pinkie Pie?” I asked as she walked out.

“Yes?” she replied half looking at me.

“I Pinkie Promise to start to be in a better mood soon” I said doing the promise. She ran and leaped into my arms.

“You know you can’t break a Pinkie promise right?” Tears are running down her face. She looked at me innocently.

“Yes I do” I said wrapping my arm around her head. Her hair poofed back to the fluffy state it was originally was at.

“Okay looks like my job is done! I thought it might take longer. Remember not to break the Pinkie promise!” She leaped out of the room in complete bliss. I let out a big sigh. What am I going to do with them? They did all this just to make me smile.

Chapter 3

The next few weeks I was enjoying the simple life. We would just bud around and have fun. Even though they tried as hard as possible to hide the fact that my brother is dead. Every so often Twilight would get a letter from her brother. She would cry softly in their room. She tries to hide the letters every time I try to comfort her.

“Twilight you can tell me anything. What’s bothering you?” I ask with utmost concern,

“Oh it’s... it’s nothing honestly Alex” She wiped the tears from her face and she would give me a gentle hug. Poor girl, she is trying to hide something that I already know. I left her alone to weep in silence.

“Hey Alex can we talk privately” Rainbow Dash asked me.

“Yeah Rainbow Dash what do you want?” I asked her while walking into a disclosed area. We got into an empty room where we kept hushed from the others.

“You should tell us how your brother died. I know you don’t want to talk about it but I think we deserve to know at least” She said rather quickly. I shot her a cold stare. But she was determined to get an answer.

“Ugh fine i’ll tell you girls. But after this please try not to bring him up. it’s hard enough to tell you girls how he died.” I said distastefully. She slowly left me in the room and fetched the others. They were bickering because it was Rainbow Dash’s idea all along.

“Oh Alex darling you don’t have to tell us. I know it’s none of our business getting involved with your family like this.” Rarity said putting her hoof on my hand.

“I’m going to tell you... But after this please try not to bring him up again” I said coldly. I told them the whole story. I truly didn’t want to tell Fluttershy. I went in what remote detail that I was told. They seemed a bit horrified. At least now they understand why I’ve been down in the dumps.

“I’m going to write to my brother right now. I miss him so much!” Twilight said with tears flooding down her face. So did Applejack.

“I’m sorry man, if I knew the actual reason I wouldn’t of made you tell us” Rainbow Dash hung her head, ashamed of herself.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m somewhat over it. Well I am glad to get that off my chest” I exhaled loudly. We left each other alone for awhile.

“Alex, come here immediately!” Rarity shouted. I think she is furious about something but I don’t know why. I walked in carefully not to upset her anymore than she already is. “What is this!” she held out a cape.

“Thats a cape from this weird group from Equestria” I told her. She waved it around angrily.

“Does this group happen to be the Cutie Mark Crusaders?” She asked.

“Yeah do you know them?” I questioned her.

“Yes! It’s my little sisters group of misfits trying to get their cutie marks. It’s my little sister Sweetie Belle, Applejack’s little sister Apple Bloom and a filly named Scootaloo.” She told me. Why is she getting angry then? “Oh I am going to... Er!” She was getting frustrated and trying to keep her cool now.

“So what’s the problem then?” I asked her questioningly. She didn’t hear me I’m guessing. “Rarity..” she interrupted me.

“THEY USED MY SPECIAL GOLD SILK ON THIS CAPE!” she yelled. I didn’t even notice the gold silking. “Oh she is going to get it the next... ERR” I laughed silently to myself.

“Now I know who these mysterious group of fillies are” I said out loud.

“What did they want with you?” She looked at me.

“They wanted me to join their group. They send me letters giving me little tasks to do and respond if I got a cutie mark or not. Which I tell them no every time. Then I stopped because...” I stopped myself from thinking.

“Trust me when I say this Alex. THEY ARE A HANDFUL!” She said. I just shrugged what she said off.

“They haven’t given me any trouble yet so..” I dragged it on. She just let out a sigh and left. The day went on without any dramatic effects from any of these ponies.

“Hey uh... Alex?” It was Applejack asking me something.

“Yes Applejack?” I asked her.

“When does school start again? I kind of uh... Forgot when it starts” She was rubbing the back of her head. She wouldn’t look me in the eyes.

“It starts in about next ten days or so” She finally made eye contact with me. She put her hoof on her hat and tilted it down as cowboys do for a ‘thank you partner’ sort of thing.

“What? Are you nervous or something?” I asked her when she turned around.

“Uh... um... What do you mean?” She told me back.

“You just seem a bit tense? What’s wrong?” I sat down on the couch.

“I uh... think I uh...” She paused a lot. It seemed she was trying find a way to lie but couldn’t. “I forgot pretty much everything from last year. So I don’t want to look stupid or anything” she blushed red like the red apples on her cutie mark.

“To be honest Applejack I forgot a lot too. They may just spend a week or two spent on reviewing things” I told her.

“Thanks for telling me. Now my mind can rest a bit so I don’t get too hung up on it” And she left. And the days went on as they should be.

Chapter 4

School came very quickly. The ponies were ready for their Junior year of high school. I even took the liberty to start Driving Derpy to school now. She hasn’t made much friends. Mostly because she tends to mess things up A LOT.

“Did I tell you that I am grateful that you’re driving me Alex?” Derpy asked the hundredth time.

“Yes Bubbles you did” I told the gray Pegasus. After the frustrating drive to school we’d arrived. And the first thing that happened was Mr. Walters calling me down to his office. I stepped in casually.

“Take a seat Alex” He said in a soft tone. I acknowledge him and sat down. “I know you’ve had a rough summer. And I need to know if you’re able to cope with the situation.” He asked quickly finding the right words off the top of his head.

“I am fine Mr. Walter. You should thank the girls. They... helped me through that time. I would like not to be mentioned for quite some time.” I told him casually.

“Alright if you need to talk to someone or have any problems please come to me first” Then he sent me off. I was alone walking in the hall. I heard Rainbow Dash arguing with someone around the corner.

“Hey look it’s Rainbow Crash!” One of the boys said.

“How did you get in high school huh? I’m surprised you’re even still here.” The other said

“Leave me alone you two!” Rainbow Dash shouted back at them. I turned the corner to see what’s going on. I saw Rainbow dash arguing with two other pegasi. If I remember correctly their names are Hoops and Dumbell.

“Hey what are you two doing to Rainbow Dash?” I shouted. This alarmed them then they saw me.

“What do you want human? This is just between us pegasi so get lost” He turned his attention back to Rainbow Dash. But she quickly ran right behind me and pushed me.

“Teach them a lesson Alex!” She gave a harder push and I ended up bumping into Dumbell.

“So that’s how it’s going to be huh?” He was getting ready to push me.

“Hey you two back to class!” It was Mr Walters. “And you two come with me NOW!” he shouted. The two pegasi ran as fast as they could. Me and Rainbow Dash stayed. “Okay Alex tell me what’s going on?” He asked coldly.

“Well Mr. Walter I was heading to class and saw...” I was about to say what I saw until Rainbow Dash interrupted.

“Don’t blame him! He didn’t do anything wrong. Give me the punishment!” She pleaded for him not to give me any sort of punishment. She was tugging at his pants giving him some teary eyes.

“Rainbow Dash..” I told her.

“Shh Alex I think it’s working!” she told me to be quiet.

“Both of you enough. I am not going to punish either of you” He said pinching his nose. “For Pete sake I just wanted to know what was happening,” he said.

“I was going to say that I saw Hoops and Dumbbell picking on Rainbow Dash. So I natural confronted them. And well you came at a good time.” I told him.

“Is this true Rainbow Dash?” he asked the rainbow colored Pegasus. She gave him a slow nod.

“They are just mean bullies. I’ve known them since I was at the flying academy in Equestria. They have always been calling me names and stuff” she admitted.

“I’m proud of you” I whispered in her ear.

“Well if it happens again let me know” He said to her and walked away.

“Alex will you walk me to class?” She asked shyly. This is the first time she was ever shy around me.

“Okay what's your class?” I asked her nicely. She said it’s English with Mr. Rogers. “Hey we got first hour again!” I said happily. Her head shot up with a squee.

“Yay! Come on before we’re late!” She yelled dragging me behind her. We got to class on time, just barely.

“Oh look it’s you two again! Welcome back” Mr. Roger bellowed. We took our seats and the day resumed like it normally does.

“Thanks again for sticking up for me Alex” Rainbow Dash whispered to me in class.

“If you have problems with them again let me know” I told her and that was the end of it. Now on to the next class. This is my last class of art. Of course Rarity is in the class so was Fluttershy. They smiled at me and motioned for me to sit next to them. I did so, then Jimmy came and sat next to me.

“Oh look it’s Jimmy again. Taking another year of art class I see” Rarity said to him. He gave her a gentle smile.

“Yeah can’t get enough art” He gently laughed. Then Mr. Dimmer came in and class started. I never had a class with Jimmy, which I felt kind of odd knowing that.

“Hey did you this is our first class together?” I asked him.

“Yeah weird isn’t it. We never had classes together” He told me. We both laughed then quickly stopped when the girls were looking. Then they started to giggle and we blushed.

I left for my second hour. Fluttershy was following me. I didn’t understand why but she did. Then I realized we had the same class. It was ecology with Zecora.

“Zecora!” Fluttershy ran to her and gave her a big hug.

“Oh Fluttershy I don’t know why, but you’re in my class, so I hope you pass” She told her rhythmically. I thought to myself ‘She’s still doing that rhyming thing?’. “Alex good to see you. We’re going to talk real soon” She told me right before class started. Then class went on with people having a hard time understanding her.

“I got to stay after class for a bit Fluttershy I’ll met you in math” I told her right as class ended. She nodded and walked by herself.

“Okay Alex I heard what happened. i’ll let you be nappen” She said. Of course she would. I’ve been exhausted from that time of my life.

“Don’t worry about me sleeping in class. You have a unique way of teaching that I love” I told the zebra. She smiled and handed me a slip of paper. It had her phone number written on it. Then she sent me on my way to math.

“Oh you finally got here” Cherilee yelled from behind me. “We need to talk” I already know what she wanted. She pulled me to the side of the hall. “Okay I heard what happen and I want to let you know, if you’re having any problems that you can come to me. Oh here have my phone number just in case you need help” she handed me her number and I opened the door for her.

She still had her amazing ability to get everyone's attention. After getting through her spectacular class it was time for the lunch. Like every year I sat with the girls and Jimmy.

“Oh Alex I made you a lunch this time!” Pinkie Pie handed me a bag. I opened it and smiled.

“Pinkie Pie you are so good to me you know that” I told her. She blushed a bit.

“Tell me if it’s good. If you’re lucky with your response I MAY do it for you every day.” She smiled as if she were going to do that anyways. I took one bite of the mysterious food. All eyes were watching me. It was the most spectacular food I have ever tasted.

“This is the most amazing thing I have ever tasted Pinkie Pie” I said while chewing with my mouth open. Rarity shot me a look of disgust. But Pinkie Pie let out a squeal of delight.

“You want to know what it is Alex?” She asked her head tilted a bit with half a smile. I thought for a second to think of the possibilities.

“You know how about we leave it a mystery?” I asked her. She nodded like a maniac. The others let out a sigh of disbelief.

“How do you NOT want to know what Pinkie Pie made you?” Jimmy asked me smirking.

“Well it makes it more fun!” I laughed. He shook his head in a disapproving manner. The bell rang and we left quickly for our next class. Ironically I had to go back to Cherilee for pony history two.

“Well well well look who is back. My favorite human student Alex and his accomplice Jimmy.” She pointed Jimmy who had secretly been following me since lunch ended.

“Why didn’t you walk with me you idiot” I teased him.

“Trying to avoid being spotted” Now he's starting to act like Pinkie Pie when she was trying to prank me. I didn’t even know there was more to learn in pony history. But I was lucky enough to get it again.

After class I had to stop by the principals office. He just wanted me to check up on with him.

“Hey bud hows the day going?” He asked with concern.

“I’m fine Mr. Walter” I told him regarding his question.

“Okay then I’m going to check up on you from time to time. So you don’t do anything stupid.” He told me to leave.

Then I came to my fifth hour. Which it was astronomy. I saw Twilight waiting for me.

“Hey Alex! I was waiting for you! come one we’ve got astronomy!” She grabbed me and dragged me in the room. “Wait where’s the teacher?” She asked looking around the room.

“Why if it’s the pitiful and weak Twilight Sparkle” Someone said from behind.

“Oh no” Twilight sighed. I turned around to see some unicorn who looked like as if she was a street magician of some sort.

“Looks like you’re going to be my student from now on TWILIGHT” She laughed hysterically. Then she turned her attention to me. “Are you her friend?” She asked.

“Yes why? Are you two some old friends or something?” I asked looking at Twilight.

“Ha! hardly be prepared for the hardest class of your lives!” She laughed getting in front of the class. “Hello students I am your Instructor. THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!” She yelled out loud. I notice the other girls were in the class as well. The gang was all here. They seemed really upset. Especially Fluttershy. She cowered in her seat.

“Sorry I am late Teach I just got through registrations for the school and...” It was some sort of bird eagle pony. “You gotta be kidding me? Why are you I’m Mean all of you in my class?” The eagle pony yelled pointing the the girls.

“And who might you be?” Trixie asked the weird pony eagle.

“I’m Gilda the Griffon” She said proudly. The teacher and student immediately had a bond. In which both disliked us. We sat opposite side from Gilda, me being in the middle of them. They had little fights that went nowhere. The fact that Trixie did nothing about them proves her dislike of the girls. And after the long class period that seemed to go nowhere, the class ended.

“Oh this is going to be the worst year yet!” Rainbow Dash complained. The girls went off on their own and it ended up that I had Trixie for my next class as well. Which was a Spanish class. I decided that I should try out a new language. But it’s going to be tough having Trixie as the teacher. How is she a Spanish teacher anyways. She spoke it fluently which took me by surprise.

“Alex!” She swatted a ruler on my desk. “You better stop daydreaming and pay attention or the next time it’s the principal's office!” she yelled with fury. Now all the other students looked at me going ‘ooo’.

The class ended in the worst way imaginable. Apparently I am failing the class already. She told me if I don’t get my act straight. I sighed and went to where I parked to which the girls were waiting for me.

“Well girls prepare for a long semester” I moaned to them. They gave me the same response.

“We’ve got two horrible people to deal with. And both are in the same boat of torturing us” Applejack said. Then with them each finishing their complaints we got home.

Chapter 5

The weeks went by. They have been on and off. Some days were bad and some were good. They were tons of clashes between Gilda and the girls. Same with Trixie and the girls. But Halloween was around the girls and they were excited.

“Oh Halloween again!” Pinkie Pie squeals in delight.

“Yeah I can’t wait either Pinkie Pie!” Twilight eagerly said.

“Well girls it’s not exactly like the Halloween you’ve come to love and know” Said trying to get them to sit down.

“So wait there is no Halloween this year?” Pinkie Pie moaned as if it were the end.

“Not exactly Pinkie Pie. This year, few of the neighborhood parents and some others decided to have a giant block party. So it’s just a festival with games, candy, and all things that involve Halloween into a party” I said rubbing my hands together. I watched as Pinkie Pie’s mouth open wider and wider with a smile.

“PARTY!” She yelled bouncing around. You can never really mention party without having her overact. She left and put her costume on. The pink pony is going out as the joker.

“John is the head of it so if you girls have any questions please go see him.” I told them. First one to leave, of course, was Pinkie Pie. I guess the others understood what it was. The block party got set up rather quickly. I never known that John was a professional coordinator.

“Hey Alex do you have a costume this time?” Twilight asked me from behind.

“Yes I do have a costume this year Twilight” I turned and smiled at her. I left to go put it on. It was simple and common. At least it’s better than being a vampire. I left my room with my costume on.

“So you’re going as a pirate this year” Applejack said from around the corner. I turned to look at her. She was dressed in a suit of armor. I could tell it’s her only from her voice.

“Yeah I had no idea what to be so I found the first thing that I could fit in at the store.” I told the armored pony. I wonder if she is dress up as the royal guard for the queen or something. But a couple of ponies did the same thing and hers didn’t look like anything

“Well let’s get this nightmare... I mean Halloween night going!” She hollered. She ran off out of the house and into the crowd of people. I left the house in search of any of the girls.

“Come on Alex this way” One of them shouted.

“No this way come on!” Another shouted. Then I saw Twilight in the crowd and I walked after her. She dodged around the people swiftly like she was used to it.

“Twilight wait up” She stopped and look at me. I just looked at her costume. This year she was a vampire. I laugh silently to myself.

“Woah didn’t see you there Alex. How you enjoying the night?” She asked I gave her a shrug because I haven’t done anything yet.

“I haven’t done anything yet Twilight. I don’t want to be alone so I found you” I told her, She smiled and we walked around together.

“Alex can you get me some cotton candy?” The purple unicorn asked me. I pulled out my wallet and paid the man the money. He handed me a perfectly pink cotton candy swirl. As I handed her, Pinkie Pie sprang in action out of nowhere. She snagged the cotton candy out of my hands and ate it.

“Thanks Alex! That was delicious.” She thanked me then quickly left without apologizing to Twilight. I looked at her and looked a bit teary eyed.

“What’s wrong Twilight?” I asked her.

“Oh you paid for that cotton candy for me. I really want it but you probably don’t want to spend more one me” She looked down to the ground disappointed. They guy wouldn’t let me get another one for free.

“I’ll get you one don’t worry Twilight” I gave more money to him and got her another perfectly swirled cotton candy.

“Oh you didn’t have too Alex!” She said blushing shyly at me.

“Don’t worry now let’s go find some games to play!” I said tugging on her hoof. We found Applejack near the apple bobbing barrel.

“Oh there you are” The armored pony yelled towards us. I notice Fluttershy right next to her. She was dress up like a butterfly. She even got into it and started floating around a bit. Applejack finally took off her helmet. “How about you bob for an apple Alex?” she asked me. I have none done this before so I stuck my head in the water and tried to get an apple. Someone shoved my head deeper in the water. I quickly jerked back coughing up water.

“Hahaha you suck at this game!” It was Gilda. She was too lazy to even put a costume on.

“Nah I ain’t gonna stand by and let my friend get harassed like this” Applejack stood up for me. She looked very menacing now.

“Now Applejack don’t stand up for what Alex deserved for his shortcomings” Trixie appeared from behind Gilda. They argued for a few minutes while I was still coughing from the incident. Fluttershy kept rubbing my back to help with the coughing. They left and Applejack raised her hoof to my head.

“Come one Alex lets go have some fun” I grabbed the country ponies hoof and she raised me to my feet. “How are you feeling” She asked.

“I’m okay” I gave off one final cough. “How come Gilda is so mean to me?” I asked the girls.

“She’s been like that when Rainbow Dash set up a series of pranks on her. She flipped out on Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash stood up for her. After that she became really sour” Twilight told me. Now I had an idea that may help me in the future.

“Hey I just heard what happen to you man” Rainbow Dash flew from overhead. She was dressed like a pirate too. “I wish she could just get over it.” She said rolling her eyes..

“Ay ay captain” I said saluting her. She raised her in question. She looked me over for a second then herself.

“As my first mate we must go plunder!” She yelled and pulled me along leaving the others behind. I didn’t see where she took me, but after awhile we stopped.

“Oh hey you guys dressed up like pirates too!” It was Derpy dressed like a pirate too.

“Bubbles you should join the crew or I make you walk the plank!” Rainbow Dash said in her poorly made pirate voice. Derpy accepted the invitation. Now we are a small pirate crew. We played some of the few games they had out. We caught up with Applejack again.

“Hey Rainbow Dash!” The apple pony shouted. “You think you can best me in this here Test Your Strength machine?” She challenge our captain.

“Oh ho you’re on Applejack! Prepare to walk the plank!” She ran to her. First Rainbow Dash tested the strength machine. She managed to hit the bell. “Can you beat that Applejack?” She remarked walking past her. She whipped her tail in her face.

“Now watch the master at work her” She said. She picked up the hammer and swung down. It went up with violent force. A loud ding came and a loud thud when it hit the bottom. Rainbow Dash mouth was wide open looking at the bell. I looked up and saw that Applejack dented it. Then it was Applejack's turn to whip her tail in her face.

“Hey have you seen Rarity” I asked randomly. “I haven’t seen her since we left the house”

“The last I saw her she was doing face paints for some kids” Applejack pointed in a general direction. I took my leave of my pirate crew and headed off for better plunder.

“Oh Alex! Please be a darling and hand me the black paint!” Rarity yelled from across the field. She was dressed up as some sort of superhero. I handed her the black paint and she finished the touch up on a little filly’s face.

“What are you exactly Rarity?” I asked looking at her costume.

“Oh I wasn’t sure if I should wear it because it ties in with Rainbow Dash in a poor manner. It’s the mysterious mare-do-well. At one point during the break Rainbow Dash was revered as a hero in pony-ville. She went around gloating and showing off her fame. So I designed this to put her in her place. Which ended up making her really upset when she was out shined” She told me. I never thought Rainbow Dash as a hero.

“That’s actually pretty cool Rarity. You designed a superhero on accident.” She started blushing. I checked my phone and the festivities were going to end soon. “Oh Rarity it’s getting late. Lets find the others and head home.” I asked her. She nodded and we ventured off looking for the others. We got together with Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy.

“Now where in the sam hill is Rainbow Dash?” Applejack said frustratingly. We search high and we searched low. We eventually found her with Derpy and some little colt.

“There you are Rainbow Dash!” Rarity waved to her. She turned around and gave a displeasing look.

“Oh did you come to join our crew good sir” The little colt asked.

“What do you mean? I am already part of the crew.... uh” I was trying to get a name.

“It’s Pipsqueak the pirate! and this is my first Halloween since I got here!” He waved his wooden sword around. The little pony fell down. His parents came and got him. “Oh I’ll see you guys around!” He waved back at us. I didn’t realize but Rainbow dash and Rarity were fighting right behind me. It was about Rarity’s costume. I didn’t get involved

“Ready to go home girls?” I asked them. They stopped what they were doing and followed right behind me. I opened the door for them and closed it.

“Well I’m going to bed now” Rainbow Dash yawned. They all followed right behind her. I went off to my room and did the same.

School came as quickly as it went. The periodic bullying continued, at least it wasn’t towards my friends. Instead I was the victim. Gilda was the one who physically harmed me, like a simple push or yelling at me. Hoops and Dumbell only playful teased me.

“Just two more days then we are on thanksgiving break” Rainbow Dash said happily and eagerly.

“Yeah we do deserve a break from all this riff raff” Rarity told her.

“Girls the only one who deserves a break is Alex” Twilight pointed at them. “He is been through a lot with what happen over the summer and school.” She said unhappily.

“Yeah Rarity is right though. We all deserve some R and R” I told the ponies. All but Fluttershy nodded. I guess she believes I am the only one who should be getting time off. I was surprised that the rest of the time in school went off without anything happening of great importance. I had plans, somewhat big, but nonetheless a plan. When the girls were off enjoying their time off, I went off in preparations for Thanksgiving. I sent invites to a few people who I am truly thankful for them being in my life.

“And that’s the last one. Now just to..” I said out loud before someone interrupted.

“Uh... Um... Alex? What are you doing?” I turned around to see Fluttershy trying to look at the invitations.

“Just some invitations Fluttershy. I have decide that you girls earned a real Thanksgiving. I’m inviting a few people to join us.” I told her putting the final touches on the letters.

“What do you mean by real Thanksgiving?” She asked me.

“Well we never really even attempted at Thanksgiving. Usually me and... my brother...” I took an awkward pause. She look at me as if I were about to break down and she was ready to comfort me. “I’m sorry” I said getting my bearings. She drew closer to me. “Uh... like I was saying. It’s a time where you spend time with your close friends and family. So I am inviting a few of our friends over who I care about.” I told her.

“Well I’ll let the others know. Well if you want me to that is...” She asked me shyly.

“Oh please do I am going to give these to the people. And I will be back in about an hour or two” I said taking the keys to my car. Then I left her to go tell the other ponies what’s going down. I swung by Johns house to give him his, but he wasn’t home so I left it in his mailbox. I got into my car and drove to Jimmy’s. He lived in a two story house with a white picket fence and a tire hanging from the tree in his front yard. It seemed like the old version of the dream American house. I got out and was immediately greeted.

“Oh hey Alex what brings you here?” He asked swinging the door open.

“Hey Jimmy just swung by and give you an invitation to have Thanksgiving with me and the girls.” I handed him the card, but he already had plans.

“Sorry I got plans. But if you do it next year I AM THERE!” He told me waving me goodbye. Up next was Mr. Walter. He lived somewhere a bit out of the city. I followed the directions on my gps. And what I saw just plain out shocked me.

“Hello sir? How may we help you?” A voice asked out of nowhere. I looked to the side and say one of those speakers for rich people.

“Uh... I am here to see Mr. Walters” I said stuttering. The gates swung open and I was welcomed into his big fancy mansion. I pulled in and the butler opened the door for me and asked if he may park my car somewhere more suitable. I told him i’ll be in an out. I walked in looking around the fancy mansion.

“Hey Alex What are you doing here buddy?” Mr. Walter yelled down the giant staircase.

“Oh I wanted to ask if you want to spend Thanksgiving with me and the girls?” I asked him giving him the invitation.

“Yeah sure i’ll love to come” He shook my hand and I left. I really want to know what he did to get this mansion. Next and not least was Derpy. I drove back to the neighborhood. I passed by her house and she was napping in the sun on her hammock.

“Hey Bubbles are you sleeping?” I asked softly to make sure she was sleeping.

“Uh... huh? Oh Alex uh... How are you?” She sat up to face me. “Oh what’s that you got in your hand? is that mail? Do you want me to deliver it? I’m a delivery mare in Equestria FYI” She gloated grabbing the mail. “Oh it’s for me? You want me to celebrate thanksgiving with you and the others? YES! I have nothing else to do so count me in!” She happily bounced up and down. I left waving to her and headed straight back to the house. I got back shortly after leaving Derpy’s home. I saw John waiting for me on his front porch.

“Hey Alex can we talk for a minute” He hollered at me. I parked the car and got out so I can head for him. Then Pinkie Pie stopped me.

“Welcome back Alex!” She greeted me with a big hug. “So you’re throwing a party for us?” She questioned me.

“Not really a party Pinkie Pie. Just celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends.” I told her UN-clinging her from me. “I have to talk to John real quickly please go back for a minute.” I told her directing her to the house. I walked over to him.

“Hey I would love to come Alex” He slapped my back. “But how are you going about doing this?” He asked me. I honestly had no idea. It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything like this.

“Well I am guessing the girls will want to do everything. So I’ll tell them what to do.” I told him. “But I’m going to call Cherilee to see if she would come because I don’t have her address. I called the pink pony teacher up and asked her if she will come. Being the best teacher in the world, she said yes. I headed back and the girls were waiting for me.

“So what are we going to do about this party?” Twilight questioned me. I told them to get some stuff out. And the rest of the day we prepared for the next day.

The day came and things were not going according to plan. Rarity is trying to work with Rainbow Dash getting a single decoration in place.

“No no no more to the right. Wait back a bit to the left” She was trying to center the welcome sign.

“Rarity make up your mind!” Rainbow Dash yelled at her.

“Perfect Rainbow Dash. You have an eye for fashion you know that?” She said randomly. I checked on the food preparation. Deserts and pie were getting done nicely. I checked on the turkey to make sure that doesn’t get messed up. Good it’s coming out nicely by the look of it. I went to check up on Twilight and Fluttershy. They were supposed to do the games while Applejack and Pinkie Pie did the food. I walked into their room and saw Fluttershy taking a nap. I wonder where Twilight is at? I walked around the house and saw no sign of the purple unicorn.

“There you are Alex!” Twilight shouted from behind startling me. I almost fell backwards if it weren’t for her. She bumped into my back to balance me out.

“Woah thanks for the save Twilight” I thanked her. “Oh I almost forgot. Did you get the entertainment setup with Fluttershy? I notice she was taking a nap so I assume you’re done?” I asked her politely.

“Oh yes it’s all in the basement” She smiled.

“Alright well they should be here sometime within the next half hour.” I told her leaving her behind. We waited an hour and no one shown up. I saw the sadness in their faces.

“Well I guess we should start without them” Rarity said in a disappointed tone. They all left into the kitchen. I looked out the window hoping someone would come. Then a long stretch limo came pulling in. All of our friends came out of the limo. I opened the door and greeted each one with a hug. The girls didn’t even notice. I let each one in with my arm extend in a welcoming embrace.

“Hey where are the girls?” Cherilee asked out loud. next thing you know the girls came as fast as they could. They jumped all over the teacher.

“We never thought you guys would show!” Pinkie Pie laughed in happily

“No I picked them up so it took some time. I’m sorry for our tardiness” Mr. Walter told them. Then the party started. We ate our Thanksgiving dinner then we relaxed and played some games. The day went off without a hitch. And the girls started to plan for next year's Thanksgiving.

Chapter 6

The short break ended and we were back at school. The first few days were quite peaceful as it wasn’t before the break. We were smiling every day for a while. Then Gilda came back from her vacation and the bullying continued. With the combined efforts of Gilda and Trixie it made the girls heavy with burden.

“Ah man this isn’t cool anymore Alex” Rainbow Dash complained.

“I’m sorry Rainbow Dash I wish I could do something but you just need to be patient. This kind of stuff might get old.” I promised her that I will try to end it.

“Okay Alex I trust you” She said as if in doubt. “But hey, we’ve got the holidays coming up soon as well.” She said happily. That brighten everyone’s mood. We even went as far to talk about gift ideas for Christmas.

“We are going to get you the best-est gifts ever Alex!” Pinkie Pie shouted randomly. The other joined in too.

“Aww girls you don’t have to say that. Any gift from you is going to be the best. But I would love to know what you got me.” I tried to pry out some sort of answer.

“No dear we are not going to tell you anything until you open the gifts.” Rarity slyly remarked.

“You could tell us what you got us though!” Pinkie Pie smiled widely at me. I chuckled and resulted the pink pony’s hair. Then I left them to do whatever they wanted. While they did whatever I did my last minute shopping for their gifts. I am glad that they reminded me. I had five days until Christmas eve. I got the gifts at the worst possible timing. I pulled into the driveway where the six ponies were waiting to greet me.

“Hey he’s back!” Fluttershy yelled in delight.

“Why yes, yes I am girls. Why were you waiting for me?” I asked covering up the items in the car.

“You didn’t forget our gifts did you sugar cube?” Applejack asked trying to look into the car.

“No! I was just giving Jimmy a ride to work is all.” I quickly moved Applejack away from the car.

“Well if you say so... Come on lets go back inside” Pinkie Pie told them heading for the door. I waited for all of them to get in the house before I get the gifts out. I put each into a plastic garbage bag and quickly went into the house.

“Hey what’s in the bag?” Pinkie Pie asked sitting on the couch. She startled me into a little fumble.

“Uh...” I search for a good excuse. “John asked me to hold onto some clothes so when he has time he could donate to the salvation army.” I lied to her. I quickly slipped into my room and hid the bag under my bed so I can wrap them later. Then night came so I quietly wrapped the gifts and hoped they will like them.

The next five days were cheerful and filled with joy. We did some of the traditional festivities such as making snow angels or they call them snow ponies. We even made some gingerbread houses. And it was Christmas night and all was quiet. I went to put the presents under the tree but was caught by Rainbow Dash.

“Alex you finally decided to put them out?” She asked lazily. I shrugged at her. “Can I open mine now?” She yawned. It kind of seems like she was sleepwalking.

“Come one Rainbow Dash time to get you to bed” I whispered to her while guiding her to the room. She put a little sleepy fight but eventually gave in. I ended up carrying the Pegasus into the room. The others were sleeping silently. I found her spot between Applejack and Fluttershy. I put her there and tucked her in. She quickly grabbed hold of my arm and wouldn’t let go. So I waited until she flipped over to get more comfortable. Then I was about to leave and saw Fluttershy dropped her teddy bear. So I grabbed it and slid it under her hooves and left. I slipped under the blanket of my bed and fell asleep.

“You sleeping in again this time huh?” Pinkie Pie nudged me awake.

“Oh sorry girls I’m waking up” I moaned. They were hesitant at first, but then they dragged me into the living room again. “Oh you are eager for the presents huh?” I said rubbing my eyes. I blinked them and saw them already handing each other their presents.

“Well yours are right in front of you so let’s take turns opening our presents” Twilight said opening her gift first. She let out a big and loud gasp. “How the.. When the.. how did you get this?” She asked holding up the book I got her.

“Well it was hard to find one of those. It took me a long time to even convince the owner to sell it to me.” Telling her the whole story.

“But this is a magic spell book!” She yelled. I nodded my head and she gave a look of disbelief. She opened it curiously. “There is spells I have never seen before in this” She gave me a big hug. “Now open mine Alex!” She picked up the box at my foot and handed it to me. I opened it from the corners and tore through it quickly.

“Nah you shouldn’t have!” I laughed happily. I took out the belt bag thing.

“Well it’s like a carrying bag that was originally designed for ponies. But you can use it as a belt. So Rarity modified it a bit so it can fit you” She smiled at me. I put it on and open the pockets. There was a little piece of paper on it. I took it out trying not to let the others know what I got. It was from Twilight. She wants to talk to me privately later on.

“Hey mine next Alex!” Rainbow Dash thrown her gift and hit me square in the face. It didn’t hurt because it was actually kind of light. I open it slowly to see what she put in. I looked at her and she gave me a big smile of content.

“Oh it’s a shirt” I said holding it out. “This shirt just got twenty percent cooler and...” I stopped there. She bursted out laughing.

“Yeah I had one of the humans help me order that. Now when you wear it you can see my face!” She giggled out her thoughts. I looked at it and of course her face was on it but a little bit more artistic way. I looked puzzled at the moment. She wasn’t in any way an artist but how did she pull this off? Even if she did get help I guess she has a nag for ideas and just not just being able to put them down somewhere. “Oh my gosh you didn’t!” She screeched in delight. She pulled out the Ipod touch.

“They made some pony version of the Ipod touch. I happened to get the latest version of it as well.” I told her showing her some of the new features on it.

“This must of cost you a lot Alex” She said giving me a disappointed look. I shook my head to let her know it wasn’t costly. But truly it was.

“This is just marvelous Alex!” Rarity interrupted. She was putting on the boots she just received from me. She trotted back to the room and put the previous Christmas gifts on. “Now the set is complete!” She shrieked delightfully. The boots were bedazzling with her scarf and hat. She used her magic to pick up the red glittering box to hand it to me. I took the ribbon off and it all came falling apart.

“Oh ho ho” I spluttered out. Looking at the item holding it carefully. The special vase she made glimmered in my hands.

“Oh it’s special too. I used some magic on it so when you touch it, it slowly changes colors” She said remarking her accomplishment. Touching it made it changes colors the look vibrant with each new color.

“This is amazing!” I told her touching it in different spots. I was in a trance. Applejack and Pinkie opened their presents from me.

“Nah you shouldn’t have!” Applejack startled me from behind. Then she squeezed the life out of me. “Oh sorry don’t know my own strength” She chuckled. Her new cowboy boots rattled with intensity.

“Yeah Alex you shouldn’t have!” Pinkie Pie joined the merriment. She had already set up the drum set I got her. She went wild hitting them without a real beat. Fluttershy was amazed at her gift as well.

“This is the most amazing thing ever!” She quietly shouted. She had taken out her new picture book of animals.

“Oh Alex you still have to open the rest of the gifts we got you!” Twilight moaned out loud. So I started to peel the wrapping off the three other gifts. Applejack got me a leather jacket. Pinkie Pie got me a small popcorn machine.

Thanks a lot Applejack Pinkie” I gave them a little hug and started opening Fluttershy’s gift. “Aww Fluttershy when did you make this?” I asked her looking at the picture she drew of me and the ponies.

“Well uh... I made it on a whim. I hope you like it.” The timid pony said.

“Like it I love it!” I wrapped my arm around her. She blushed looking away from me. Twilight motioned for me to go talk to her privately. “Well girls enjoy your new gifts” I said walking away to my room. Twilight followed me into the room.

“Good we finally can talk.” She was being secretive. “Well I want to tell you about your gift, the bag. I made special adjustments to it. If it were every harmed by magic the contents would be unaffected. So keep anything you value most of all in it.” She was about to say more but Rainbow Dash interrupted.

“Hey Alex how do you get music onto this thing?” She asked me holding out the Ipod.

“I’ll show you later Rainbow Dash. Just give me and Twilight some time to talk please.” I told her closing the door.

“Okay she’s gone.” She continued talking. “I think Trixie might try some sort of magic and harm you or the house. So keep anything important in it please!” She shown a lot of concern and thought into this gift. I gave her a hug to which she seemed like she was about to cry.

“I will keep the most treasured things in it Twilight. Thank you very much.” I told her to comfort her. Then I left to go help Rainbow Dash figure out how to put music on her Ipod. Thankfully she figured it out and I could relax for the rest of the day. But first I want to put some of the valuable items into my special bag. First was the IOU the Fluttershy’s picture of us. Thats good enough for me for awhile. Then the day came to an end with every pony content with the outcome of the day.

Chapter 7

Our holiday ended and school came back like a freight train. It wasn’t hard to get back into the old routine for the few weeks we had of our classes. Trixie still bothered me relentlessly and Gilda kept harassing us. Shortly after our schedules changed for the better. The only thing that changed for me is the fact almost all of my classes were with Cherilee or Trixie. Art got replaced with a cooking class.

Shortly we fell into a new daily routine. At least the girls didn’t have to put up with Gilda as much as I. She calls me names and pushes me around. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder why? Some of the things she says makes me want to puke at times.

Valentine’s day came and I wanted to do something special for them. They have been really good to me and I thought they deserve something special. So my cooking teacher Mr. Adams helped me get of class to make them some special chocolates. He was a big help because I never done this before.

“So who is this special lady you’re making this for?” He asked in a romantic tone.

“Uh.. this is for six girls” I said.

“Oh so you’re the lover boy now?” He teased me. He even manage to make me blush a bit. “Well this means we have to make a lot of them” He said handing me the ingredients.

“Are you sure this is okay. I mean like taking me out of class just to make some chocolate.” I asked him.

“Oh if this is for someone you actually care about. I would love to help!” He said holding his hands together and shaking around as if he were thinking of his first love. We made enough for seven boxes. So if anything happened during the day I always will have a spare one on hand. I left him after lunch.

“Hey Alex you missed lunch. Why is that?” Rarity yelled to me. She was followed by Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

“Oh well I was with Mr. Adam. He was helping me make something” I told her.

“Oh what did you make?” Rainbow Dash questioned me. I handed out three boxes to the three ponies.

“Woah there lover boy” Applejack said refusing the box.

“Oh it’s not a romantic thing...just a friend thing Applejack.” I told her putting the box in her hooves. She finally accepted them

“Oh chocolates! How romantic!” Rarity grabbed them and cuddled the box. “What is the reason for this dear?” She asked regaining her composure.

“It’s valentines day Rarity. I thought you would like something I made this year. Instead of getting nothing.” I told them. They thanked me and we went off on our own separate ways. I found Pinkie and Twilight later on.

“Oh what do you got there? I hope it’s a present!” Pinkie questioned me. I held out the boxes to them.

“Chocolates? What for Alex?” Twilight asked me looking in the box.

“It’s from me to you for valentines day.” I told her. I was about to continue but was interrupted.

“Finally making your move now Alex?” Jimmy popped up from behind. He slapped my back and I fumbled forward.

“No... No! I’m just being nice to my close friends Jimmy!” I stuttered at him. Now Twilight was blushing and Pinkie is pigging out on the chocolates. I dragged Jimmy away from them. “Gah! Why Jimmy?” I silently yelled at him.

“Sorry man just thought you were making a move” He told me truthfully.

“Ugh.. Never mind Jimmy. Have you seen Fluttershy?” I asked him putting my hand on his shoulder.

“Yeah last I saw her she was talking to Cherilee after class.” He said pointing in the direction where he saw them.

“Thanks” I patted his shoulder leaving him alone to be himself. I wander in the direction he gave me. I Found Cherilee but not Fluttershy. “Hey Cherilee” I waved to the pony.

“Oh Alex what do you want?” she asked turning around to look at me.

“Have you seen Fluttershy? I asked her kind of in a rush.

“Last I’ve seen her she was about to leave for it’s the end of the school day. If you catch up then you probably catch her before she gets to your car. That's if you want to do that.” She was hinting at the chocolates. I said thanks and quickly jogged off towards my car. I saw her waiting in the hall. I guess someone told her to wait for me.

“Oh Alex Jimmy told me you wanted to see me” The yellow pegasus said. She flew a short distance to me gracefully.

“Yeah I wanted to give you a valentines present” I extend my arm to give her the chocolates. But Gilda came out of nowhere and smacked them out of my hands. The chocolates went everywhere to which the griffon started to stomp on them.

“Hey everyone!” She shouted to any one who was interested. “Look at these two freaks getting all lovey dovey!” She pointed and laughed at us. I didn’t care that she called me a freak but Fluttershy? That snapped something inside of me.

“Okay I had enough Gilda!” I shouted at her. She shot me a look of anger. “You make everyone miserable and we are growing tired of it.” I almost screamed. She tried to shout back but I kept it up. “You may called me a freak, a weirdo, Anything you can call me won’t bother me. But when you make FUN OF MY FRIENDS I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT ANY LONGER! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?” I told her furiously.

“Ye.. Ye... Yes” She managed to say. She quickly took off shoving anyone in her path. Fluttershy took off without me noticing. I went back to the car to see her getting comforted by the five other ponies. I jogged over there and tried to help.

“I’m sorry to have you see that Fluttershy. Will you forgive me?” I asked taking her hoof into my hand and gently stroking it.

“It’s okay I’m... I’m just upset that she destroyed the chocolates that you took time out of classes to make for us.” She started to cry again.

“But it’s just chocolates Fluttershy. And lucky for you I have an extra box just for you” I handed her the last box I had saved In my backpack. She suddenly stopped crying and clung to me like an infant. I carried her into the car and discussed what happen with the others.

“I never thought you the violent type Alex” Rainbow Dash said giving me a second opinion. “That was actually kind of awesome what you did” She admitted.

“Well it’s about time someone stood up to Gilda and her tyranny” Applejack said with great honor.

“Thanks girls I hope she will stop overall” I told them truthfully. After that said I drove them home and our day continued as usual.

The ponies were happy with my results with Gilda. She stopped her bully routine for awhile. The whole school was happy too. Random kids and ponies would thank me. The unusual high fives and the newly dubbed “bro hoofs” for any pony to human sort of ordeal.

The days went by rather quickly. February ended and then March started coming to a close.

“I wonder if Mr. Walter will do that competition thing again this year” Twilight asked to herself.

“I highly doubt it Twilight” I told her. “Last year he got a lot of complaints and scorning from the school board for that stunt he pulled off.” I tried to get them to listen but they didn’t care.

April first came and I was correct. No competition this year. But this didn’t stop people from pulling a couple of friendly pranks. Pinkie Pie only pranked people she knew was willing to give a good laugh despite getting pranked. The others just didn’t feel like trying at it. I was walking along with Pinkie pie about to leave for the end of the school day.

“This was a fun day wouldn’t you say Alex?” Pinkie asked smiling at me blissfully.

“Yeah it was” I said holding my hands behind me head. We saw the others and headed for them. Then all of a sudden Pinkie’s tail started twitching. She pushed me away and a bucket of bricks hit the ground. Thankful neither me nor her were hurt.

“Dang it I missed!” Gilda angrily said floating above. I scuffled to get up.

“Gilda!” Rainbow Dash Screamed at her. so did the others except Fluttershy, she was trying to help me up along with Pinkie Pie. Soon anyone who was around was yelling at her.

“You could've killed him doing that!” Twilight scorned her. I never seen them so angry from the time I met them to now. Gilda was backed into a corner and started to panicked, She shoved everyone out of the way and darted off somewhere.

“Nah I ain’t letting you get away!” Applejack hollered.

“Yeah I’m not letting you get away either!” Rainbow dash joined in on the search party with Applejack.

“No girls let her be” I told them wiping my pants clean.

“But she almost killed you!” Rarity moaned.

“Yeah but I think she finally learned her lesson. You all stood up to her and I think she got the idea” I said fumbling towards them.

“Are you hurt Alex?” Twilight asked looking examining my legs.

“Yeah just a little bruised from the fall” I told them. “Lets go home now ladies” I gesture them to the exit.

“Alright Sweetie” Rarity accepted the idea. The others joined in and we left for home. To which the day went by with them trying to pester me about my legs.

Time went by and no one has heard from Gilda since that day. We only have a week left of school and it seems like the girls having something on their mind. They try to avoid me now. So the day before the last day before the last day of school I decided to confront them.

“Hey Twilight can you get the others for me?” I asked the purple unicorn who was sitting on the couch alone.

“Uh.. What is this about?” She stuttered to ask.

“Just go get them please” I begged her. She took a second then hopped off the couch and went to gather the others. She definitely seemed to take her time to do so. Eventually they came into the living room.

“What’s this about? You ruined my nap outside under the apple tree” Applejack moaned.

“How come you have been avoiding me lately?” I pursued the question. Theirs eyes started to dart around.

“We uh.. been... uh... Busy! yes we have been busy” Twilight took her good ol’ time to say. I look at them as if they witness a crime and I was a detective. I hummed a bit to make sure they haven’t got out of it yet.

“Did you girls do anything bad that I should be aware of?” I asked making perfect eye contact. They didn’t speak so I assumed they have. “So you have nothing to say then huh?” I tried again.

“Oh make it stop! Make it stop!” Pinkie Pie was about to crack. So I got close to her and questioned her.

“Okay partner we will tell you!” Applejack fessed up. “But can we tell you tomorrow?” She asked giving me a puppy dog look.

“You’re going to have to Pinkie Promise” I told them. They did the Pinkie Promise and I was content for today. “Tomorrow is the last day of school you know?” I told them showing some concern. But they left without a care.

“I wonder what could possible make the do this” I mumbled to myself. Then continued my day as usual.

The last day of school was so much fun. Even Trixie took a day off from being mean and decided to let loose. It was the peak of my day. But the girls still tried to avoid me. I hope the will tell me. The day ended and I was driving them back home.

“Are you going to tell me now or at home?” I asked them keeping my on the road. The remained silent giving me the impression that they want to discuss this when we got home. After about twenty five minutes of awkward silence I pulled into the driveway and the girls quickly went into their rooms. I knocked on the door to get their attention.

“Yeah we know give us a second please” Rarity told me giving them some breathing room. I sat down on the couch and waited patiently. They actually quickly came out and sat across from me on the other side.

“Um...” Fluttershy was about to say something but nothing else came out. The timid Pegasus kept eying me from time to time.

“Okay lets get this over with girls” Twilight final spoke up. “We uh.. have been..” She was thinking quite hard about this.

“What she is trying to say darling is that we have no plans for summer break” Rarity blurted out. They shot her a look of hate yet relief.

“You could of asked me to help you. If you want you can stay with me over the summer. I’ve been kind of lonely the past few years of summer and it could change up things a bit.” I told them in a reasoning tone.

“Well if you will...” Twilight was asking for a response.

“Yes Twilight you may stay for the summer.” I said in a happy tone. They all sighed in relief. Next thing you know they are giving me hugs and thanking me for this opportunity. In the middle of this merriment Cherilee called.

“Hey Alex I just want to let you know I’m staying in the human world for tutoring. If you need help please give me a call.” She said. After a brief conversation, asking who needed the tutoring in the first place, the call ended and I was left a summer with six ponies from another world. Now what am I going to do with them?

To be continued.

Chapter 1

Google Doc year 4

The first few days the girls were enjoying themselves very much. This is the first full summer they are going to be spending with me. I fear they will get bored soon and will leave me for Equestria. SO I decided to ask each one of them if they wanted to do something unique while staying here.

“Hey Twilight?” I asked the purple unicorn. She was cooking something up for herself in the kitchen. The smell filled the whole house. Sometimes I think I owe them more than they owe me.

“Yeah Alex, do want something?” She was hinting if I wanted something to eat while she was in her cooking fever.

“I was just wondering if there is anything you want to do since you have free time her in the human world” I asked sitting in a chair watching her cook peacefully. She was really into it which is odd because she always had this sort of stuff done really quickly.

“Well there is one thing. I really want to go to a library, not like a school library, just a public one” She blushed away to finish what she was doing.

“Alright when you finish eating we will go to the library” She perked up and quickly turned around. She had sparkles in her eyes. She bounced up and done like she usually does when she gets overly excited.

“Really? Really? Really?” She kept repeating like a broken record.

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” I did the same thing back. She rushed now and quickly finished making her... hay sandwich. I put my hand to my face with embarrassment. She scarfed her down her sandwich and she shoved me to the car grabbing the keys with her magic. I drove her to the library which she almost fainted in disbelief.

“Well you can take out as many books as you want. I have a library card with me and I am allowed to get as much books as I want.” I was telling her but she darted off and pretty much dove into the books. Hours passed and she came back holding a lot of books.

“Can we take all these home?” She asked innocently. At first I thought it wouldn’t fit but there was less than I thought.

“Sure” I said and we took the books to the librarian. it was an elderly woman who was probably as much interested with books as Twilight did.

“Alright Mr.... Alex You got these books for a month you lucky dog you” She pinched my cheeks. Twilight was upset because they were for her not me. We left the library and went back home. The others were surprised at all the books in the car.

“What were you two doing? Bringing high school to us?” Rainbow Dash mocked us.

“No! Alex said he would take me to the library and he got me all of these books!” She told the blue Pegasus. They had a look of discontent. But they were not surprised.

“You ain’t keeping all those in our room Twilight. You better have Alex Store it in his room” Applejack suggested. And without a word the books were stacked into my room. I didn’t mind because I have a big room and it didn’t take up much space. I decided to look up some local events to see what's going on in the city. I found two things That I know Applejack And even Rainbow Dash. So I go the two together and asked if they wanted to go.

“Hey Rainbow Dash, Applejack I was wondering if you two would like to go to a rodeo and a NASCAR event?” I asked them. They looked at me in disbelief.

“There’s a rodeo going on in this kind of place?” Applejack just had to ask.

“Oh my gosh NASCAR? That's like the only human thing that I have fallen in love with!” Rainbow Dash squealed like a fan girl. Just like whenever someone mentions these wonder bolts she brings up from time to time.

“Well I take that as a yes?” I asked them and made plans for it without their approval. I could already see it in their eyes that they really and I mean really wanted to go. Both events happen within the week. Actually looking at both they take place in one day apart from each other. SO I order the tickets online and got things all set.

The next day was the rodeo. Applejack was getting ancy waiting for Rainbow Dash to get ready.

“Come on Rainbow Dash the rodeo won’t wait for no pony!” She hollered for her to hurry. While Rainbow Dash was doing whatever, I notice she was bringing her rope.

“You don’t need your rope Applejack” I told her trying to take the rope.

“Nah just wait a second. I’m planning on participating in this here rodeo Alex.” She said taking her rope away from me.

“Alright alright whatever makes you a happy pony” I said. She gave me a funny look when I said pony. Rainbow Dash finally came out and we left the others to take care of the house.

I was surprise to the number of people and even ponies at this event. I heard someone getting frustrated with someone on their cell phones.

“What do you mean you’re in the hospital? How did you fall? You what! You fell because you dropped the soap and slipped on it?” Applejack interrupted him.

“I hear you need someone to join in on this event.” She said without flinching to the idea of who she was talking to.

“Sorry little pony but this may be too much for you” He said hanging up his phone. He pointed to me. “Hey you know how to ride a bull?” His bony finger was aimed at me.

Me uh.. no but she does” I pushed Applejack forward. He started to laugh loudly.

“She can’t even get on top of a bull let alone ride one. Come one kid, let me convince you that you have what it takes!” He gestured me to a disclosed location. A light bulb went off over my head I followed him. Applejack was furious as I left. She was stomping her hooves on the ground and kicking up dirt.

I came back after a few minutes and he was rubbing his beard.

“Uh what was your name little orange pony?” He asked shyly to Applejack.

“It’s Applejack sir, why you ask.” She snorted at him unhappily.

“Your friend has convinced me to let you ride the bulls today. But you’re getting the biggest and meanest one we’ve got!” He said in an apologetic tone then a triumphant tone.

“No problem Sir” she tilted her hat at the cowboy. He seemed to regret his decision but it was too late. The left for the steads where they kept the bulls.

“Come on Rainbow Dash she will probably be on real soon” I dragged her. But shortly after she was dragging me behind because she was so excited to see her good friend participate in this rodeo. We found some pretty good seat at the front.

“Hey Alex how did you convince that guy to allow Applejack to join?” She asked me rooting for the man on the bull. I was about to tell her but the guy fell and people screamed loudly.

“Yeah as I was about to say. I told him that it could be a publicity stunt. They haven’t ever had a pony ride a bull for them. Then I mention the kind of money they could make and he lit up like a Christmas tree.” I finished saying. She was up next and Rainbow Dash forced me forward and I almost fell off into the small stadium.

“Ladies and Gentlemen. Filly's and gentle colts. We have something special for you tonight! We have a pony ready to ride the biggest bull we have to offer! Lets all give an applause to APPLEJACK!” The announcer boomed and Applejack was off.

“Come one AJ!” Rainbow Dash screamed. I did the same thing. She waved at us and tried to talk to us while she came by. There were bets about how long she would last. I put a five dollar bet that she would last long enough to make the bull tired. Everyone laughed at me. Even Rainbow Dash laughed and she placed a bet at the ten minute mark.

After about half an hour later the bull fell over from sheer exhaustion. Everyone and every pony had their jaws dropped. I was extremely happy for the fact she did so.

“Woah didn’t think I would last long enough to knock that bull out” She said taking deep breaths.

“I should be thanking you Applejack. What you did out there was amazing and not to mention I made a pretty penny off you!” I smiled at her.

“Oh you bet on me and won?” She asked me.

“Oh I want to tell you but the number is big. That's all I am going to say!” I laughed. She was getting ready to charge at me because I wouldn’t tell her the amount. “But lets find a luxury hotel to stay in for tomorrow” I said.

“So it’s enough to let us stay in the laps of luxury?” Rainbow Dash inquired. I nodded my head furiously. They jumped up and down happily. We left to go look for the fanciest hotel around. We found them and asked them if they want their own rooms.

“Me and AJ can bunk together” She wrapped her hoof around the champion.

“Okay I guess” I said getting the keys from the front desk attendant.

“You’re rooms are next to each other on the third floor second room and third room on the right.” He told us and we left. They were both very nice rooms. They took the closest to the stairs and elevator.

“Well good night girls. Try to get some sleep” I said yawning opening my room. “You can get whatever you want from room service.” I told them and went to bed.

They were up a good portion of the night ordering room service and having pillow fights. There was only one problem though. I couldn’t sleep at all with them going at it like that. They finally slept around two in the morning so now I can finally get a few hours of sleep.

“Hey Alex wake up! We’ve only got a few hours until the NASCAR event starts!” Rainbow Dash nudged me gently.

“How did you get in my room?” I asked curiously.

“Uhh..” She paused thinking of how to tell me.

“She went through your window and open the door for me” Applejack said flipping through channels on the tv. Did I leave it open? I guess I did because they didn’t close it.

“Well you got me there. But the event isn’t for like another three hours. So why the rush?” I asked The flying blue Pegasus in my hotel room.

“Because I heard someone say the wonder bolts might be there.” She put her hooves to her face and started daydreaming. I just shook my head. I highly doubt the queens flying team or whatever will be there. So I pushed them out of my room and took a quick shower and we left for the NASCAR stadium.

“Oh I hope I see the wonder bolts there!” She repeated like a broken record. We eventually came to the place and it was packed. Fortunately we had front row seats because I paid for them.

“Aw there is no wonder bolts” Rainbow Dash pouted. But she loved the racing. She told me the adrenaline almost made her flew off with over excitement. The race ended and she was very happy. I drove the two ponies back home.

“They’re back!” Twilight shouted to the others and we received a warm greeting. I had to start planning something for Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. I am on concern I won’t find one thing Rarity might enjoy. I was looking through the newspaper and saw something interesting.

“Hey Rarity?” I asked her sitting in a chair. I know she is around because she looks at the newspaper when I am done.

“Yes what is it?” she grumpily asked. I guess she hasn’t had her coffee yet.

“In the newspaper I see that there is a fashion show going on. I want to know if you want to go see it” I asked taking a sip of my coffee. She let out a big gasp.

“Yes! Yes! Yes dear I would love to go!” She shouted with delight.

Well it’s tonight are you sure you want to?” I asked her trying to see if she really had the time.

“Why Yes I am free tonight. I’ll dress like I always do!” She sighed romantically. “In some magnificent silk to make me look like someone really important.” She went on about every detail. So I got my special tuxedo ready for the evening. Then time went on till we only had an hour until the fashion show started.

“You ready yet Rarity? It’s going to start in an hour. She came out and I could not describe her.

“Oh you are all all dolled up for this Alex” She blushed looking at my tux. We got in the car and took off to the fashion show. We got there just in time. Since she took so long we got some pretty poor seats. But good enough to see the fine details in the woman outfits. This show was special because it shown human to pony designs as well that made Rarity gasp in sheer shock. The show was over and she began to critique each outfit she saw.

“Those outfits were the best” She finally gave up trying to continue talking about them. She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek to thank me. I took the white fashion diva unicorn home late. She fell asleep in the car. When we got home it was pitch black and dark. I took her out of the car and carried her into the house. I managed to take off her dress and tuck her to sleep. And then I went off to get some sleep myself.

I had to find something for Pinkie and Fluttershy. They all deserve something special over the summer from to them. The yearly carnival was coming in the next few days. I am sure she would want to go. It’s fun for anyone who loves parties like her. And all the others will want to go as well.

“Hey girls” I shouted out for them to come. The gathered around to hear what I have to say. “There is this carnival that is coming and I wanted to go with you girls” I asked them if they wanted to go. Pinkie Pie went crazy when I told her about it.

“Oh take us! Take us!” She begged to go with me.

“Of course I want to spend some time with you Pinkie Pie” I told her and she calmed down a little bit. She jumped for joy.

“We never spend quality time together” She said getting all pumped up. I am glad that she knew what I was trying to do.

“Oh Fluttershy may I speak to you privately in a little bit?” I asked her. She gave me a sad look as if she did something wrong. Once Pinkie Pie bounced away so did the others except Fluttershy.

“Did I do something wrong? Oh please tell me I didn’t do anything wrong” She cried out loud.

“No no no. I wanted to ask if there is anything you want to do so we can spend some time together that is all” I told her shaking my hand back and forth trying to use gestures to calm her faster.

“Oh is that it?” she asked innocently up at me.

“Yes that is it. What you think I was going to punish you or something?” I questioned the yellow pony.

“I kind of want to go to the zoo” She said thinking quietly.

“The zoo it is then” Rubbing my hands together. The plan to spend time with each pony is done. Now to plan for Fluttershy’s zoo trip. I am thinking the day after the carnival. Then we just went about our day like the unusual group of ponies and a single human would do.

The carnival came a day early as I was told. We got together to choose a time to leave. They don’t open till noon but they want to go a bit later so the sun isn’t so high. What? Are they going to get pony sunburns or something? The choose to go when the sun is setting. Which would make this seem a little bit romantic in some sense.

“Come on girls lets go already!” Pinkie Pie said impatiently. They picked up the pace a bit. Pinkie Pie ended up trying to leave earlier than we discussed. So the plan was broken about by an hour. We just got there in time to have some good parking thanks to Pinkie Pie. I gave each of the girls about fifty dollars each so they can go wild. Which in fact they did.

“Let’s go Alex!” Pinkie Pie tugged me off in a random direction. We went on all the rides. She loved the new roller coaster they managed to set up. They only did it because the got unicorns to set it up for them this year. The house of mirrors was appealing to her too. She only sat in front of each mirror for about a minute and go “Woo! Woo!” I thought of her as a little girl now. I saw Fluttershy eying one of the games they had. She was after something they had.

“Hey Fluttershy do you want to play that game?” I asked pointing at the game.

“I tried a couple of times but I am not good.” She said. “I just want one of those giant stuffed animals they have” She said shyly.

“I’ll get you one don’t you worry” I gave the person in charge a dollar to have three balls to throw. It was one of those knock the three cups off. I missed on the first throw. I scratched the back of my head to hide my embarrassment. I knocked them down on the second one. I let Fluttershy pick the giant bunny. Now I will get one for Pinkie Pie. Since I got a hang of it really quickly I got it on my first try the second time. She wanted the giant alligator that they had far in the back.

“Oh I have a pet alligator in Equestria! the reminds me so much of him” She said thinking back to the days when she was with the green lizard. “His name is Gummy and he has no teeth” She said hugging the stuffed animal. Time got away from me and It was time for us to go. I told the others to get at the car by around seven and to wait if I didn’t get there.

“you ready to go Pinkie?” II looked down to her and she was staring at the cotton candy maker. I can see her licking her lips. I went of to the concession stand and bought a lot of cotton candy.

“Why did you buy so many just for me?” She asked taking a bite out of one of them.

“I got them for all of us. But you can have mine I am not really hungry.” I handed her one of the many I held in my hand. She thanked me and we got to the car. All were there like planned. I gave them each a cotton candy and began to drive home. I asked about their day so /i can keep them active so when we got home they would go to sleep. I ignored everything they were saying so I can focus on driving.

My plan to get them tuckered out was a huge success. They exhausted themselves by the time we got home. That all slowly got out of the car except for Pinkie Pie. I took the hyper Pinkie pony out of the car along with all of the prizes the others one and took them into the house. The others crashed on the bed and I could barely get Pinkie a spot on it. I set the prizes on the desk in their room and went off to bed for the next day.

I got up early so I can prepare to make sure Fluttershy is comfortable just being with me. She has always been shy and never comfortable in new social experiences. I wanted to go early but wanted for her to sleep in today. That carnival was exhausting for them and for me too. But I was already up. The timid little Pegasus actually got up earlier than I thought.

“Oh Alex why are you up so early?” She said taking a seat next to me.

“Well I woke up early because...” I tried to think of a good excuse. I couldn’t think of anything so I just shrugged. “When do you want to go to the zoo Fluttershy?” She tapped her hooves together.

“Uh I don’t know... When is it good with you” She shyly said. I dangles my keys and she looked up. She turned a head to look away. I can see her face red up a bit.

“Let’s go now Fluttershy” I said taking her hoof and walking her to the car. We got in and left for the closest zoo. I haven’t been to the zoo I think ever. I bought two tickets so we could go in. She was bedazzled at the sight she saw.

“What is this place? Filled with so many wonders?...” She started going off in a song that she came up with on the spot. We slowly walked together and talked about each one that really stood out. Like the giraffes and zebra. We joked around about how Zecora and all the ponies are really zoo animals on the wild. We stayed for awhile then she finally asked me a good question.

“How come these animals are locked up?” She asked me with concern in her tone.

“Well Fluttershy it’s to protect them from themselves and us.” After a brief conversation we finally ended the matter. We saw all the exotic animals and she had enough. We pretty much seen them all like ten times. we got back home and she immediately told the others about our day.Twilight was the only one who cared. She was envious that she wasn’t able to go because she slept in.

“Aw I wish I could've gone” Twilight moaned.

“Yeah it was... fun” She said looking at me with a small smile. I gave her one back then she started to blush. Twilight look kind of dumb looking at us. I think I managed to get them to want to stay now.

Chapter 2

I didn’t know how I managed all that in a month. There were only two months left until we go back to school. I took them to the movies every Friday. I also started to take them out to dinner with the winnings that Applejack brought upon me. Twilight and Pinkie Pie enjoyed the day off from cooking for us when I did so.

A mysterious box came to our possession. It was light yet filled with a few things. The curiosity got to me. I opened it by myself. I took a crowbar and yanked on it with immense force that it knocked me down. I felt some hooves crawling all over me.

“Did we just capture a monster?” One of them said

“Let see if we got our cutie marks!” They shouted. I can only hear three of them. I put my hand to my head and slowly got up to see where these voices were coming from. “He’s getting up girls lets pin it down!” A yellow filly with red hair shouted. And the other two pounced on me. One was a white unicorn with purple hair with a streak of pink. The other was a orange Pegasus with purple hair.

“Woah this thing is pretty strong” The orange Pegasus grunted trying to keep me pinned down. As of now I just decided to roll with it.

“Sweetie Bell!” Rarity shouted coming into the room.

“Apple Bloom!” Applejack came in as well. All the shouting brought out the others.

“You girls get off him this instance!” Rarity sounded appalled at their behavior. They finally climbed off me and I got up to my feet.

“How did you let these fillies knock you down and keep you pinned?” Rainbow Dash chuckled. Oh great now they think I am a wimp.

“Sweetie Bell introduce yourself” Rarity pushed the little white unicorn filly my way.

“You too Apple Bloom, Scootaloo” Applejack push the other two my way. They greeted me politely and focus their attention on the ponies.

“We want to see Alex. Where is this pony?” Apple Bloom said in her southern accent just like her older sister. She turned her little sister and pointed at me. I gave a shy wave to these little fillies. Scootaloo began to laugh.

“Good one Applejack! But seriously where is Alex? he must be famous or something to allow you to live here” The orange Pegasus said reluctantly.

“Uh I am Alex you silly filly” I told her in a kiddish voice. They looked at me and screamed.

“It can talk!” Sweetie Bell screamed loudly setting the others into a panic. The tried as hard as ponyily possible to get them calmed down.

“I thought the girls told you I was human” I asked the three newly welcomed ponies.

“Well we thought human was just otherworldly term for pony” Apple Bloom confessed. I chuckled silently to myself. “What’s so funny human?” She said.

“Nah Apple Bloom you and yer friends come with me and we can explain this to you” Applejack dragged his sister into their room. Same went for Sweetie Bell. Scootaloo followed with the others. I followed up to my room and ducked away in there.

“Ah well I must started cleaning” I’ve cleaned my room for the impending guests. Fluttershy came in quietly and waited for me. “Oh Fluttershy didn’t see you there. What are you doing?” I asked here finishing up all the cleaning.

“Why are you cleaning your room?” She asked looking around a bit.

“Well I am sure they will be staying here so I am giving them my room” I told her putting stuff away.

“You don’t have to do that! We will give up our room and sleep on the couch.” She bursted out quietly. I shushed her and explained that would just be too much for me to bear. She agreed rather quickly. She was easy to change her mind because she doesn’t like arguing. We went out into the living room together and started to watch TV.

“Oh what is that!” Scootaloo yelled quickly darting and laid down on the floor enthralled by the TV. I sighed thinking that we are going to explain a lot of things to them.

“Well we are only going to be here for about a week sir. So I hope you can make some room for us” Apple Bloom asked me politely.

“Yeah you can have the room that I went into while you and the others had your discussion.” I told her waving her off. The others took off with the earth pony to their temporary room. The three fillies were gone and left us alone. They seemed disappointed that I gave up my room so easily.

“Well we got to figure out something to keep these girls entertained Alex” Applejack said.

“Yeah you don’t know them like we do. They will always try to find something to do so they can get their Cutie marks” Rarity said pacing about. “No matter what they will cause trouble! Like how they used that gold silk for your cape!” She gave me an angry glare. I held my arms innocently in defense.

“So we can keep them occupied for a few days just being around the neighborhood but we may need to go out every so often. Like I don’t know what the girls would want to do. May be they want to go to the Library!” Twilight said with a hint of suggestion behind her tone. I’ve been taking her to the library at least once a week so she may get some new books. I also had to limit the amount for her to have.

“Well keep them entertained for as long as you can. If you want to take them out somewhere and want me to drive you I will do so.” I said end of story. The three little ponies were wreaking havoc in my room so Rarity and Applejack went to settle this matter. I just hope they at least won’t be needing me to drive them anytime soon.

The next four days were just wild. The Cutie Mark Crusaders made such a mess. That's what I’ve decided to call the group because that's what they call themselves every time the get introduced. I Did it with John next door and it was the funniest moment ever.

“Hey John open your door!” I banged on the door.

“What what what?” he shouted opening the door.

“Another monster! Get it Cutie Mark Crusaders!” Apple Bloom shouted orders. They managed to knock him down and pin him. I just stood there laughing while he was asking me for help.

“This is pretty sad John. How can you let three little fillies get you like that?” I asked squatting down to met his eyes. He mumbled a bit.

“They just startled me is all” He detested to say. I laughed and got the ponies off of him. “This is John. he is my neighbor and pretty much a family friend. So if you need help and none of us are around go to him. Just don’t knock him down.” I told them. They introduced themselves and we left John to feel the shame he was given.

Somehow over the course of their stay they managed to break five thousand dollars worth of stuff in my house. Also managed to figure out how my car works and went for a joy ride pretending to be criminals.

The last day came and I decided the day should belong to them. I took them to everything I would think young girls like these would like. I took them to the park, a water park, movies, dinner and an amusement park. They were disappointed at the end. Not for having to leave but the fact they didn’t get their Cutie mark.

“We had fun Alex! I hope you let us come back soon!” Sweetie belle said. That weird portal ripped open in my backyard again. Applejack and Rarity were in tears. They are going to miss their little sisters. We said our goodbyes to the little ponies and consolidated ourselves

It seems the next few days brought out the girls to be a bit mischievous. About ten days came after those Cutie mark crusaders left. Twilight Sparkle decided to try one of the spells in her spell book I have gotten her. I was in the living room when I heard screaming from each of them in their room. I rushed into the room. I swung the door open to only see them as toddlers.

“What happened here?” hoping to get a legit answer from the girls. They didn’t recognize me. I could barely understand them for they butchered the English language. I sat down to take a moment to think of any possible explanation. The only thing I could think of was a magical accident. The toddler Fluttershy climbed into my hoodie and nested herself in the hood of my Hoodie. I got up carefully not to disturb her.

“Pick me up and cawwy me!” Rarity pouted like a little princess. I picked her up and held her in my arms to where she quickly drifted off to sleep. My hands were already full with one of them. Pinkie Pie was trying to eat some blankets.

“No Pinkie Pie do not eat that!” I scorned her. She stopped and hopped around playing.

“No Applejack it’s mine!” Rainbow Dash and Applejack were having a tug of war on one of the prizes from the carnival we went to a while back. Now they are fighting tumbling around like a desert tumbleweed.

“No Pinkie Pie you can’t eat that either!” I shouted at the pink filly. She was trying to eat my shoe. I let out a sigh of complete hopelessness. I couldn’t find Twilight anywhere. I managed to hold Rarity with one arm. I had to call Cherilee for help.

“Cherilee I need your help right now! How fast can you get here?” I asked he in a rush.

“Woah there calm down and explain slowly” She said.

“I’m sorry I’ll explain... I mean show you once you get here. No Pinkie STOP!” I hung up to stop Pinkie from eating a glass vase. I pulled it out of her mouth and said no in a real firm tone. She started rolling around laughing.

About an hour has passed an the girls were just a group of crazed toddlers. I still cannot find Twilight. Finally the doorbell rang and it was Cherilee.

“Come on in” I gestured her in with my free arm. She was shocked to see Rarity as a little filly. “Welcome to the Twilight zone” I told her chuckling.

“Yeah and you're trespassing!” Twilight said from nowhere. I looked around and saw a weird pile of books by the door.

“Uh... Twilight where are you?” I asked looking around.

“I’m in my impenetrable book fortress!” She yelled from the pile of books. She popped her little filly head out of the books. “See?” She cocked her head a bit and smiled up at me and Cherilee.

“Well you don’t need to explain what happen from what I can see” Cherilee said. I let out a sigh of relief. “I will love to help you” She started on trying to stop Rainbow Dash and Applejack from fighting.

“I want something to eat!” Pinkie Pie pouted at my feet. I looked at Cherilee to see if she could remedy this situation. She had her hands full so i guided the pink pony to the kitchen.

“What do you want to eat Pinkie?” I asked her in a quiet tone.

“Cupcakes” She shouted. I sighed and started making her some cupcakes. half an hour later and they were finished. All the girls came in playfully for the food. Giving me some time to take a break.

I took a nap for a bit. I woke up to the little ponies all curled up into little balls sleeping beside me. I wasn’t sure how to react. I saw Cherilee look at me with a wide smile

“I think this will only last for a day or two” She said to me putting her hoof to her forehead. She could only stay long enough to help me put them to bed. The girls were a pain to put to sleep. We did it eventually. I offered to give a ride to Cherilee to her house but she refused. I told her to walk carefully and she was gone. I went off to bed to prepare for the havoc that awaits for me tomorrow.

“Hey Alex wake up” Twilight gently nudged me. I moaned and groaned a bit. I got up slowly with my eyes still half closed.

”Let me guess you want to have me help build your book fortress again?” I said grumpily.

“What are you talking about?” She asked appalled. I looked at her and seen she has returned to normal. I hugged her and was grateful.

“Seriously what happened yesterday?” she pursued the question pushing me away.

“Well you messed a spell up and... well you turn your self and the others into toddler fillies” I told her. Then went into a deep conversation on what I did. I finished the explanation. Then the rest of the summer time we spent peacefully.

Chapter 3

“Oh thank god it’s the last year!” Rainbow Dash said with relief.

“Aww but school is so much fun! How can you look forward to not going back?” Twilight asked the impatient Pegasus. She smacked her hoof to her face.

“Twilight you’re such an egghead” Rainbow Dash told the purple unicorn.

“Alex tell her school is fun!” She told me demandingly. I just shrugged avoiding the conflict of interests. We set off for the first day of the final year of school. It was me the girls and Derpy. She has grown on me. I think our influence kind of helped her along the way as well. She became less clumsy and more socially accepted.

The school seems smaller than ever. I looked down at my schedule and was half pleased and half upset. I have half Trixie and half Cherilee for my teachers. I don’t understand why but I think I might enjoy this a little bit.

“Well I feel sorry for you Alex. None of us got Trixie for a teacher anymore” Applejack said patting my back. I looked at her jesting her. “Oh so you don’t really care that you’re pretty much stuck with Trixie?” She asked surprised.

“I don’t mind it anymore” I told her honestly. The started to laugh and I too join in on the merriment.

I got to my first class with Trixie. She seemed a little bit off. She didn’t rant on about her GREAT AND POWERFUL side anymore. It was like she had a life changing event. The class was English and I had a feeling she would crack eventually.

The whole hour and nothing! I was surprised and yet concern for the blue unicorn. So I manned up and approached her.

“Hey Trixie what’s wrong?” I asked shyly.

“Oh Alex there you are!” She said delighted to see me. “I wanted to talk to you. Good thing we have a bunch of class that I can teach you now!” She seemed to be like under a spell or something.

“Trixie what happen to you?” I asked trying to make some sort of sense out of this event.

“I got help and that’s all you need to know” She coldly said.

“This ain’t like you though” I pursued after her. She seemed to be distraught.

“I hated myself and I tried to cure myself of being so mean” She finally said. “I just stopped and now I’m feeling so much better. But will you help me along this?” She asked innocently.

“Sure I will and so will the others.” I told her and went off to my next class with Cherilee. I had governments with her and the whole gang was there.

“So how was Trixie?” Twilight asked. They gathered around me to see how it went.

“To be honest girls I think she has changed since last year.” I told them. The had a look of shock on their face.

“Hahahaha Good one Alex” Rainbow Dash slapped my back kind of hard. The others started to laugh.

“I am being serious girls.” I told them coldly.

“What's wrong with you dear? I think you're hallucinating or something.” Rarity said putting her hoof to my forehead. I brushed it away.

“I am fine Rarity. She truly is trying to change her way. So I want you all to be nice to her. Do I make myself understood?” I told them in an angry tone. They all said yes. “I am sorry that I got angry” I apologized.

“Don’t worry about it...just please never do that again” The frightened Twilight spoke.

“Well I for one think he is being reasonable with his words. One can change if they want to” Applejack stood up taking in the words I have spoken. They all agreed and we started to pay attention to class. It ended with Cherilee handed me an envelope. I opened it after leaving and my face went red to what I saw. It was pictures of me and the girls when they turned to fillies. One stood out of all of them. It’s where I took a nap and the little ponies cuddled up to me and slept with me. It warmed my heart immensely. I’m not sure if I should show the girls until I can think of a good time to bring it up.

“Well these are quite embarrassing” I said to myself. I had Trixie again then Cherilee twice then last class with Trixie again. The day went by rather quickly. The ponies were really curious what I had in the envelope.

“What do you got there partner?” Applejack attempted to grab at the photos.

“Oh nothing... I’ll show you girls sometime eventually.” I told them tucking the photos away. They awed and were content knowing that I will reveal them soon.

School just got so much fun with Trixie trying to be nice. She had all sorts of creative methods of teaching. She even managed to rival Cherilee for best pony teacher in the school. This made time in school just fly by. I believed this will be our last Halloween we may spend together. So I took my time to find the best costume I could think of.

Halloween came And I was prepared. I got my costume ready and everything. I put my devil costume and went in the living room for the girls. The neighborhood is doing the same carnival routine this year. It was very successful and helped with charity too.

“You girls done putting your costumes on yet?” I yelled to them. Right after I finished the came out.

“Well what do you think?” Rainbow Dash asked hovering in the air. They were dressed up like the pony versions of the power rangers. The makes of the show took advantage of the pony up rise and made a show of the original idea of power rangers and replaced them with ponies. I thought it was a very cute idea.

“You look great. Gotta love the Pony rangers” I laughed. I could tell what they were doing since they had the masks on. I had volunteered to be in the dunk thing for awhile, I had the girls follow me there.

“I call first!” Rainbow dash said. I told them I would pay and each one took their turn. Rainbow Dash was first. She has three balls to get me dunked into the cold water. I am glad she had poor aiming. She missed all the unlike the others who had hit it on the first try. Fluttershy was last and she didn’t want to do it. The others encouraged her and she could barely throw the ball. She managed to hit the target but not hard enough to set it off. So I pulled the emergency lever to dunk me volunteer at situations like this.

“I am next people!” Jimmy came in with his samurai outfit.

“Well well well. Jimmy the infamous samurai! Do you have enough honor to dunk this devil?” I shouted at him to encourage him to get angry. Like the others first was a hit and I was done with this. Fluttershy put a towel over me when I came out of the dunk booth. I was shivering like crazy. We went out to enjoy the rest of the games that were set out.

“Well I am plum tuckered what about you?” Applejack asked yawning. We all started to yawn after that. We set off back to the house. The only one who was still awake for most of it was Twilight. She won a small magic book and couldn’t read it with the poor lighting from outside.We opened the door and the five ponies went to bed leaving me and Twilight alone.

“This little spell book is great” She fell on my lap and started drifting off into a deep sleep. I sat her for a moment and stroked her hair.

“Time to put you to bed” I gently whispered to her. I carefully picked the pony up and carry her softly to the room and set her down then tucked her in. It was getting really late so I ventured off into my room and found my bed.I slid onto it as if it were yearning for it. I hugged the pillow and blanked out for the night.

School came back and hit us like a freight train. But since It was really fun for me I lost track of time. It seemed like only a day or two but it was already time for our Thanksgiving break. I did what I decided last year and invite the same people over again. Nut I invited Trixie to it as well. The others weren’t too thrilled about it either.

Everyone has shown up except for Trixie. I was really concern she wouldn’t come. This would be a huge step to making her feel more comfortable with her new self that she proposed to me the first day of school. I was alone in the living room keeping watch out for her. I saw her trot up the door when I checked about ten minutes later. I opened the door for her.

“I am sorry I am late. I have transportation issues.” She said taking deep breathes. I guess she was committed to changing herself. “Are you sure the others are okay with me being here?” She asked as if she didn’t know.

“I told them to accept your recent change. I doubt they will harm you in anyway. Just make sure you don’t like... make any rude comments or anything.” I told the blue unicorn teacher. She nodded slowly thinking of things to say that won’t do that. I took her to the others. The others were kind of skeptical. I guess my words truly didn’t get to them and had absolutely no effect. So the blue unicorn stuck by me for most of the time.

“Bye Jimmy, Mr. Walter, Cherilee, Trixie! See you soon John” We shouted as they left. Other than Trixie being blackballed from the others it was kind of fun to say the least.

“Girls I'm upset at you. I told you she changed yet you still avoided her.” I said coldly.

“You were right Alex” Twilight confessed. She had her doubts but I knew that she wanted this to happen at some time or sooner.

“Yeah she was actually kind of fun” Rainbow Dash added rubbing the back of her head. I gave them an approving smile. The others said similar things and we were now able to continue school without the idea of Trixie hating us constantly. I am starting to look for specific gifts for Christmas for the girls. And now I can get the best gifts for them since I came into the money.

Chapter 4

As I predicted school got even better for me and the other.s I even seen Derpy talking somewhat normally. I guess she is also slowly changing for the better. As fall ended so did the time for school come to and erupted end. We were officially on our last Holiday break for high school.

“Did you get us Christmas presents again Alex?” Pinkie Pie questioned me again and again.

“Of course but the thing is that I have to take you out the day before so it doesn't spoil the gifts.” I told them a day before Christmas.

“Why is that?” Applejack cocked her head at me.

“Well some of the gifts are big and need professionals to come inside the house. I have John to look after the house. But some are big and I can't carry it in without help. Not even with John or Mr. Walter” I said pushing them outside and towards the car. “And the basement will be off limits until Christmas day.” I said closing the car door. They pouted for a bit.

“Will you tell us at least where we are going?” Rarity asked accepting the restrictions.

“Well How about a movie and dinner?” I asked. They were on the wagon. I haven’t done this with them yet. Making them avoid something for the sheer excitement of getting through a fun day to await for. They enjoyed the movie now we are having dinner at their favorite restaurant.

“Oh thank you for taking us there! I love that restaurant!” Rainbow Dash said as we left the place.

“Did you now? What a surprise” I said sarcastically. I managed to get some chuckles out of it.

“Spill it! What did you get us?” Pinkie Pie demanded.

“Told you have to wait for tomorrow and that the Basement is off limits” I told her without even have to look at her. She started to pout. I’m starting to think they will attempt to go into the basement. I already prepared for that. “Alright it’s getting sort of dark. Ready to go home?” I asked them. They nodded furiously for they are about to embark on a great journey.

“Hey Alex I made sure the movers didn’t steal anything!” John said stepping out of the house.

“Thanks John I appreciate it. Was everything I ordered came correct?” I asked him nonchalantly. He gave a thumbs up. But the girls quickly got out of the car and started to interrogate him. I didn’t realize how fast they took the opportunity.He did his best and quickly got away from them by pretending like he had something cooking in his house.

“Well that was pointless” Twilight exaggerated. We got into the house and relaxed a bit before going to bed.

“Well I am going to bed. Good night girls” I told them. They gave me the good nights as well. I jumped on my bed waiting to see if they will try to go see what I got them. I drifted in and out of sleep. They fell for the trap or one did that I know of. I chuckled silently. Now I know at least they won’t attempt it again.

I woke up to her some fumbling of some sort. It was morning already. SO I must assume they woke up and are just trying to make noise to get me up. Which in this case worked. I put my slippers and and dragged my feet into the living room.

“Oh good you’re awake” Fluttershy said as if she knew I was about to get up. I just moaned for them. They were eager to give me the gifts.

“Open ours quickly so we can see what you got locked up in the basement” Rainbow Dash said. Her mane was a little frizzled. I guess the magic embedded spell worked. It gave a shock to anyone who touches it.

“Come on what are you waiting for?” Rainbow Dash smacked the back of my head.

“Sorry gosh jeez that hurt you know” I said rubbing the spot where she had hit me. She even started to apologize but I was really wanting to open the gifts so I can see the look on their faces. I opened Pinkie’s first. I opened the gift to only find a paper. I flipped it over and it was a treasure map.

“Hahaha you’re going to have to find it first!” She laughed delightfully. I looked at her and rolled my eyes with a sigh. Next was Rarity’s gift. She got me a beautiful watch she had crafted herself in her spare time. Fluttershy took the time to acquire a rare plant that was only found in Equestria that only she knew the whereabouts. She mentioned it grew in the Ever-free forest. I guess it was close to her home there. Applejack had given me an acoustic guitar. How in the world did she get this?

“I have been making money with you not noticing Alex” She said smiling. “I wanted to buy you something. So I decided I will get you something kind of cool you know?” The country like pony said out loud.

“And what would you know about cool Applejack?” Rainbow Dash blurted.

“From you Rainbow Dash. It was something we had in common with music. We both had a thing for the Guitar.” She noted. Rainbow Dash stopped silently. Now to open Rainbow Dash's. I laughed out loud opening it.

“What's so funny Mr. Sillypants?” Pinkie Pie asked innocently. I pulled out the electric guitar that Rainbow Dash had obtained for me.

“Well I kind of did the same thing as Applejack. I too wanted to buy you something cool.” She said blushing at the others. I couldn’t help but wonder what they even did to get the money. And last but not least was Twilights gift. I was astonished that she even thought of getting me this. It was a small sculpture of me.

“It was from a meteorite. I used my magic to grab it straight out of the sky and more magic to sculpt it.” She demonstrated on a piece she still had leftover.

“Wow Twilight I didn’t even know you could even do that.” I was breathless.

“Well Princess Celestia can move the sun and the moon in Equestria” Pinkie Pie told me. After taking careful look I got up. I gave each a hug for their gifts. Even Pinkie Pie which I would have to search for.

“Well you ready for yours?” I asked them.

“Oh yay goody!” Twilight bounced up and down excitedly. She will never change. We went down to the stairs and the magical door was there.

“Uh you know it’s magically guarded with a spell?” Rainbow Dash said as if I didn’t know. I just knocked on the door three times and opened. The door vanished when I did so. They were shocked when it disappeared.

“Why did you get it magically sealed?” Rarity couldn’t help but ask.

“I told you it’s off limits so I took precautions.” I said gesturing them forward. The galloped to their presents.

“How come are bigger than the others Alex?” Applejack had to ask.

“Don’t worry about the size of them. bought you each something kind of expensive thanks to Applejack at the rodeo during the summer.

“How much did you get? The orange pony asked me quizzically.

“About a half million dollars, give or take a few thousand” I said confidently.

“Nah don’t muddy the situation up with your fancy mathematics Alex. How much did you really get?” She asked yet again. I replied with the same answer. Their jaws dropped down.

“Are... are you serious? Rainbow Dash said in a state of utter surprise. I nodded my head. “And how much do you have left?” She pursued for an answer.

“None I spent it all on you six” I smiled feeling good about myself. They all let Applejack open hers first since all the money technically came from her. She tried to lift it but couldn’t. So she opened it where it was and she fainted. We fanned her a bit to wake her up.

“How in the world did you get a mechanical bull? She asked taking deep breathes. I shrugged so she can have the adventure of finding out herself. I heard Pinkie Pie scream then faint next. We repeated what we did with Applejack.

“Oh hey I had a wonderful dream that I got a cotton candy machine for Christmas then I...” She looked at the candy machine and passed out again. I told the others I would try to wake her while they open the rest of their gifts. Rarity got a bunch of fashion material so she can create more of her clothing for whenever she feels like it. Fluttershy received a wide variety of flowers. She loved them a lot. She started to smother herself with the fragrance that they gave off.

“Oh you shouldn’t have!” Twilight awed at her present. She held out her Ebook.

“Now we don’t have to go to the library anymore!” I giggled delightfully.

“That's okay we read all the books they had. Now I can just download them and READ THEM ALL” She squealed and was about to run off. She forgot I still had to get Pinkie’s gift and Rainbow Dash still hasn’t opened hers.

“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my Gosh” She repeated loudly and high pitched. She knocked me down with a death grip hug. “Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” She said manically

“What did he get you dear?” Rarity asked.

“The best gift ever!” She gave a fan girl scream. “A signed picture of the wonder bolts! Oh it’s too good to be true!” And more fan girl screaming.

“How you get that Alex? The wonder bolts aren’t even in the Human world.” Twilight questioned me.

“Someone sold it to me. They said they wanted to keep it but needed the money. So I bought it from this random pony.” I told her still under the grip of Rainbow Dash.

“Well that's really awfully nice of you Alex” Applejack saying in that southern accent. I thought by now it would ease up a bit. But it has not even a little bit.

“Well you should come with me to find Pinkie’s gift.” I asked casually. They actually followed. It took me all over the house and outside into the freezing tundra that I called my front yard. It lead up into John’s house which I found hilarious. He was truly upset that Pinkie even managed to break into his home and leave clues all over the place. But he really didn’t care. I got the last clue which said to go back to my room.I went back to the house and apologized to John when doing so. There was a big box in the middle of my room.

“When did Pinkie set this here?” I turned around to ask the others. “And where did Pinkie go? She was right behind you” I looked around then shrugged. I let Pinkie Pie be Pinkie Pie. I lifted the top of the box up.

“Surprise!” Pinkie leaped out of it and gave me a long hug. I fell backwards with the pink pony clinging to me. “Did you like it huh? huh? huh?” She asked.

“Like what?” I had to ask.

“Your present silly!” She she said in a high pitch tone. I just smiled because there was no gift.

“Sure Pinkie I love it” I said giving her a hug back. She gave me a huge smile then she started to giggle. She finally let go and we went off to enjoy our newly found gifts. I cherished these as if It were the single most greatest things anyone has ever gotten me.

Chapter 5

I was drained from all the extra money I had from Applejack. School got a little bit tougher since it’s the last semester we have. I had to get to class soon but had a lot of free time since it wasn’t too far away from me. Rainbow Dash was arguing with someone from around the corner. It was hoops and Dumbell again.

“How do you have any friends Rainbow Crash?” Hoops mocked her

“Uh huh yeah” Dumbell laughed stupidly.

“I have friends because I am so awesome” She yelled at them.

“You might have friends but you probably will never have a boyfriend” Hoops said trying to make her embarrassed.

“I do too! I’ll go get him!” She responded back to his insult. I turned around the corner and she quickly flew to me. She clung to my right arm. “There you are sweetie! Come! Walk me to my class” She tugged me away from the scene. She nuzzled my arm a bit while I took her to class.

“Hey Rainbow Dash we’re here” I said in a monotone.

“Really dear?” She said softly.

“You know we are away from Hoops and Dumbell. You can drop the act. Her face quickly turned red.

“Thanks for pretending Alex. I’ll talk to you later. She quickly scampered off to class. I could hear her calling herself stupid repeatedly. I can only wonder why she is doing that. The bell rang and I was late. For the rest of the day I tried to wrap my head around what Rainbow Dash was thinking.

Time went on and the ponies were acting a bit off than they normally do. Even more strangely since valentines is tomorrow. yet they seemed a bit more cheerful about that fact. Valentines day came and they were so perky and cheerful. I got through the day and had to wait by the car for them to get ready to leave.I finally saw the coming towards me. The gathered around trying to hide something from me.

“Hey Alex we’ve got something for you!” Twilight said happily. They handed me a box of chocolates.

“Will you be our valentines?” They asked simultaneously. I was shocked at this. They all want to be my valentines? I could see they put a lot of effort into making this.

“Alright then But...” I took a pause. “You gotta let me take you out for dinner” I smiled. They gave out a cheer and hugged me then got into the car. We drove home and dropped off anything we were carrying and we went out. After dinner they wanted to go to a movie. I did so because nothing is not good enough for them.

“You’re the best Alex!” Pinkie Pie said clinging to my arm as we left. The all did the same thing. I escorted them back to the car and headed back home.

“Hey girls I want to ask you something even though it will be awhile before it happens.” I waited for a reply.

“What is it?” Fluttershy asked. They weren’t looking at me but I can tell they were listening.

“Have you girls found anyone for prom?” I asked them.

“Woah prom? I completely forgot about that!” Rarity was set into panic mode. So did the others in their own way.

“Don’t worry you got time” Trying to calm them down. “Do you at least have someone you want to ask?” They said yes. “Who exactly?” They didn’t feel comfortable telling me. I just sighed and told them if they truly want I would go ask that person or pony for them. You should've seen the looks on their faces. Some turned red or pink and some had funny looks on their face.

“Well it’s getting late. Good night Alex!” Rainbow Dash said leaving with the others. They dart the question off without even attempting to ask me. The prom isn’t for another three weeks. The next day I asked Jimmy to confront them about who they wanted to go to prom with. He got back to me kind of depressed.

“What’s wrong Jimmy?” Looking at the depressed man in front of me.

“I asked Rarity to the prom and she said no” He sulked at the response.

“Isn’t there someone else? Maybe you should take Bubbles” I told him. He didn’t responded for a minute.

“You know what? I will” He perked up and went looking for the crossed Pegasus. I smiled that I helped him and Derpy. I had to talk to Mr. Walter. I walked into his office during class.

“Hey Mr. Walter can we talk?” I asked him trying not to be shy about it.

“Yeah sure what about?” he responded.

“Well prom is coming soon and I would like your help” I said trying to ease myself in the conversation.

“Well when you first ask a girl out you must..” He was about to go the wrong way before I interrupted.

“No John!” I just need help getting a Tuxedo for it. That's if I decide to go that is.” Telling him calmly. He patted me on my back and told me he’ll pick me up after school to go find a good tux. I got home and waited for him for about twelve minutes before he came. We got out and found A black tux with a sexy looking red tie. he paid for it for the fact he was filthy rich and wanted to spend money faster than it came in. Now was to wait for the girls to choose their dates for the prom.

“Hey can you girls please come into the living room please” I said loudly for them to come. The ponies filled into the living room orderly. “Have you asked anyone out to prom yet?” I asked them.

“Well there is someone but we all want to go with him” Twilight said kind of confused how to say it.

“Well who is it?” I pursued for an answer. They just grunted and coughed a bit. The awkward silence seemed to last too long. Finally Fluttershy was first to manage enough courage to say.

“We all want to um muh muh” She mumbled under her breathe.

“Come again” I asked her getting closer to her.

“We want to go with you!” She forced out of nowhere. They quietly chatted amongst themselves.

“You all want to go with me?” I said surprised.

“Ye... yes so who will you got with if you want to that is?” Twilight meekly said. The all looked at me without making any real eye contact.

“I will take all of you” I said randomly.

“You what dear? Rarity said confused.

“Yeah I will take each of you to the prom. unless that makes things awkward between each of you.” I told them gripping my hands together waiting for a response.

“It is okay. We won’t mind.”Twilight said softly to me. They all smiled at me then charged and gave me a loving hug.

“Oh prom is going to be so much fun with you Alex!” Pinkie squealed delightfully. They acted the same loving way up to prom day.

“Come on girls the limo is here!” I shouted into their closed room.

“Just give a second sweety” Rarity said calmly. I left the barrier that kept me from them and went into the living room. They took a good ten minutes.

“Okay what do you think?” Rarity asked showing off the dresses they were wearing.

“We wore these when we last went to the Gala in Equestria together.” Twilight said brushing the dress with her hooves.

“Alright I’ll escort two of you at a time to the limo and come back for the next two. Is that okay?” I said sort of blushing. They nodded and paired up. They got together as their species. Unicorns, Pegasus and Earth ponies. I took each group out and held the door open for them to get in. They tried to start a good conversation but it never happen. We got to the location where this magical event was being held.

“There you are Alex!” Mr. Walter shouted at the entrance. And I see the girls here too! Which one is your date?” He asked me. I gave him a devilish grin.

“I am taking each of them” I snark-idly said to the ravishing looking Mr. Walters. He was surprised at my response. He offered to help each one of them out. I wouldn’t let him. I have my honor as a man. We did the same routine as we did to get into the limo to get out of it as well. I got the last group of girls in and looked around. There was a lot of couples. Some were just pony couples, most were just human couples and a handful were both. I saw Jimmy holding hands with Derpy. I guess she said yes.

“Come on Alex let’s go dance!” Twilight grabbed my arm and dragged me to the dance floor. It was a slow song. She just held me and rested her head on my chest. The song started to end. She looked up at me. The sparkle in her eye almost made me want to cry. She wrapped her hooves around the back of my head and slowly draw my head closer to hers. I was getting nervous. Our lips touched and I could feel little shocks throughout my body. I had my magical necklace on so she wouldn't be using her magic. She slowly pulled away and put her head back onto my chest.

“Twilight?” I ask quietly.

“Yes? What's wrong Alex?” She asked with concern. I gave a smile and stooped down to her ear.

“I love you” I whispered in her ear. She looked at me and her face started to turn red. I took her hoof and led her back to where the others were mingling. Her face was still flushed red.

“Come on now Alex! You ready to dance with this pony?” Applejack grabbed my arm and snuggled it. I guided her onto the dance floor for the romantic country song. “I love this song don’t you?” She asked me muffling into my shirt.

“Yes I do” I said brushing my hand through her hair. She looked up and leaped up and wrapped her hooves around my neck. Next thing you know she is kissing me in an awkward position, I was about to fall over but she tugged on my tie and stopped with the romance.

“Woah there lover boy. You almost fell over for this country girl.” She said after releasing her grip on my tie. I gave her a quick kiss and a hug.

“I love you Applejack” I told her. She grinned as if she knew it.

“Come on the song is almost over. You should take Rainbow Dash next” She said as the song was about to finish. We went back to them and Rainbow Dash was gone.

“Surprise!” The blue Pegasus startled me from behind and quickly took me on the dance floor. She was really wanting to dance with me. I thought she would want to dance to something a bit more Pinkie Pie style. Like rock and roll or something. We did a slow dance and she was enjoying it. “Hey Alex close your eyes for a second” She said. I complied I closed my eyes and she put her hooves to my check and started to kiss me. I opened my eyes and she was still on the ground. Her wings were flapping like crazy. I can tell she was excited. It seems she wanted to kiss me for the longest time and can't bare it anymore. She pulled back after a couple of seconds.

“What’s wrong Rainbow Dash?” I gently asked. She quickly flew up and got her mouth near my ear.

“I love you and always have” She got down and quickly darted to the girls without me. I raced across the dance floor towards them. Pinkie Pie came out of nowhere and we danced to some hip hop. She was wild twirling around and smiling. She laughed so much it made me laugh at her. She gave a big smile to me.

“What’s wrong Pinkie Pie?” I said trying not to smile. I had to be serious with her problem. She just giggled at me. Then out of nowhere she jumped at me and pressed her lips against mine. I felt like energy flown from her into me. everything seemed to move faster after that. The song ended. We chuckled and giggled back to the others. There was only Rarity and Fluttershy left. They were at a standstill about who would go next. They managed to push Fluttershy forward.

“I am kind of nervous Alex. I... I’ve never done this before.” She said shyly. I took her hoof and gently motivated her to the dance floor. She was loosening up while we gently rocked each other to the song. “Al... Alex?” She said quietly.

“Yes Fluttershy?” I listen to her over the music.

“Can... can you kiss me?” She blushed like a rose. I took my hand and guided from her neck to her chin. I pulled her in and planted my lips on hers. At first she was frozen out of love. Her wings slowly came out and gently motioned up and down. I pulled back and she was still imagining the kiss. She opened her eyes and wildly blushed. I just smiled at the timid Pegasus and we continued our slow dance. I went and got the last pony Rarity.

“Oh finally I thought I was never going to dance with you!” She sighed with relief. Knowing her she wants me to make this sort of romantic. We did some tango to the music. I dipped her and quickly grabbed a red roses from one of the vases nearby and put it in my mouth and brought the white unicorn up. “Oh Alex you’re so romantic” She said taking the rose with her mouth. She spit it out in a trash then kissed me passionately. She stopped and I could feel her breath against my neck. She looked down kind of disappointed.

“What's wrong Rarity?” I asked picking her head up to meet my eyes.

“I want to keep dancing!” She complained. I chuckled a bit. That was the last dance for the day. We went and chatted amongst ourselves. Jimmy and Derpy were a cute couple. They were one of the very few people of a human pony couple. I was surprised we weren’t judge for it either. I can’t help but think of my brother. He told me to follow my heart in the note he gave me before he died. The prom was over and we got in the limo back home. We got there and they were tired but still wanted to stay awake.

“Well I am off to bed. Good night girls” I slunk off to my room changed out of my tuxedo. I quickly fell in asleep. I felt strange that night. I was sleeping but didn’t feel quite right. The light crept on my eyes. They fluttered open feeling groggy. I slowly sat up but couldn't. Something was keeping me down. I raised my head to see the girls were curled up to me and snuggling peacefully in their sleep. My heart just leaped from me. Twilight groaned and slowly got up.

“Oh... uhh... Alex Good morning!” She stuttered. Her awkward good morning surprise woke the others up. They kind of shied when looking at me.

“Do I have to ask why you slept with me last night? I asked sarcastically.

“It’s uh.. because...” Rainbow Dash looked for an excuse for them. She took a long time to think.

“It’s because we could not stop thinking of you last night” Applejack said straightforward. I gave a smile of approval.

“And I couldn’t stop thinking about you girls either” I told them truthfully. The just snuggled with me more and woke up to go about their day as they usually do. They didn’t sleep with me as a group after that. Our graduation day came. I was proud of the ponies overall. They came unknowingly to this world and stuck through it from the hardest of times. We chilled in the living room.

“Can we sleep with you tonight Alex?” Rarity ask kind of shyly.

“Sure I would love that” I said. we went into my room and I quickly put a few more precious items in that magical bag Twilight gave me.

“Come one I am tired!”Pinkie moaned loudly. I got into the bed and the others got comfortable cuddling up to me. Their soft fur kept me warm. They fell asleep rather quickly. I just stared up at the ceiling. I kept brushing the necklace. I kept wondering what would happen if someone actually tried a magic spell on me. I lazily got up. The girls were not next to me. I went to search for them I looked in their room.

“What the...?” I looked into the vacant and empty room. I ran around the house and all the stuff was gone. “Girls!” I screamed. Everything was gone without a trace. I went to my room and saw that the bag was still there. All the stuff I truly cared about was still in there. I went to go to talk to John. I banged on his door with eagerness. The door open.

“Hello?” He asked dumbfounded.

“Hey John did you see the girls?” I asked him.

“Uh... Girls? I don’t even know you buddy” He said closing the door. I thought to myself ‘What’s going on?” I said to myself. I tried to call their numbers. No one answered them. I went crazy trying to figure this out. I guess I just imagine having Ponies from another world living with me. But that can’t be because the necklace and bag are still here. Then I remembered. The necklace protects me from magic. SO I guess they just went back to Equestria and made everyone forget. Maybe Celestia just took everyone back by force and made anyone who knew forget about their existence. So I guess I am alone with the memories and the little items I managed to keep away.

THE END....

Epilogue

PART ONE

“Hey have you seen Celestia around Cadance?” Princess Luna said a bit worried.

“Not since she did the forced recall of all the ponies from the human world.” She said sulkily. She went to sit on the nearest couch place in the minstrels gallery.

“What’s wrong with you” Luna asked her.

“I never got to go there” She said frowning. “Me and my honey buns were going to on vacation there” Now she shifted to a half sitting half lying down position.

“Well help me find her so we can at least get an answer out of her!” Luna grabbed Cadance by the hoof and began to search the castle for the missing princess. They checked her private locations which she tends to be. First her private quarters then the garden.

“Oh where can that tall Princess go?” Cadance asked. They both chuckled and snickered at the word tall.

“How come we didn’t try the throne room first?” Luna asked dumbfounded. They trotted off towards the throne room.

“Sweety where you off too?” Shining Armor appeared behind the two Princesses.

“Oh honey have you seen Celestia around?” Cadance asked.

“She is in the throne room right now. Why? You need to see her?” He asked he trying to make her more comfortable to talking to him about what she wants.

“Sorry we will talk later! Love You!” She blew a kiss towards him and the two ran off to where Celestia no resides. They got to the two bulky doors that housed the throne room. it swung open and Celestia appeared.

“Oh hey girls what are you up too?” She asked kindly.

“Can we talk about why you suddenly had a global call back of the ponies from the human world?” Luna was quick to respond. Celestia let out a big sigh.

“Let’s go to my room” She said kind of depressed. They followed the sulking alicorn back to the private rooms. They made sure no one around and closed the door.

“So?” cadance was impatient.

“It was a very difficult decision for me” she started saying.

“Why is that sister?” Luna interrupted.

“Because it was a quick decision with no thought into it what so ever” She replied.

“Let her speak Luna!” Cadance got her to stop and let Celestia continue.

“Well I kept it a secret from most ponies and even humans for that fact. But in parts of the world there was violent actions towards ponies” she hung her head sadly. “One pony got hurt so bad that the doctors say he might be paralyzed for life. That’s the reason why I did it quickly.” she turned around to face them.

“Well I didn’t know that” Luna asked.

“But you could've just pulled those ponies in those area’s out instead of them all!” Cadance shouted quietly.

“As I said Cadance” She said with a more strict tone. “It was an unreasonable reaction for me to put on everyone’s shoulders. They know but the humans don’t” She softened her tone again.

“You mean the humans don’t know why or ponies?” Luna asked politely.

“Both, but humans got it far worse. I erased their memories of our existence” She now turned her back to them. “Now the ponies here know of them but they don’t know them.” She started to get teary but quickly brought herself back to reality.

“So they won’t recognize us as other intelligent beings?” Luna said.

“I don’t know. I got that feeling like someone there still knows.” She turned back and start to head towards them. “What do you think I should do about that?” She whispered to them.

“Just go there and find out” Cadance said.

“Easier said than done. Remember that we are pretty much don’t exist there?” She half joked.

“Go In disguise dear sister” Luna told her.

“Oh how could I forget that!” She slapped her head. “Well I could do that but I would need a human name. Any ideas?” She looked at the two.

“How about Tracey Wildheart?” Cadance suggested.

“No that’s too odd” She detested the name.

“How about Elizabeth Sunners?” Luna suggested. She look at the ground for a moment.

“That sounds good. Ironically, elizabeth is the name of the Queen of England” she pointed out. “But who should I go to first?” She now started to rub her chin.

“What about that one guy who the Elements of Harmony stayed with?” Cadance suggested.

“That is the most likely case if he were to remember” She was still deep in thought of who to go to. “Okay I got it. Alex it is first then...” She muttered of potential candidates. “But since we broke off ties with them, their time accelerates faster than ours” She moaned.

“What do you mean?” Cadance questioned her.

“Because we are not link in worlds, so it is very likely that they are months or even years ahead compared to us” She explained.

“So you fear that the people whom may remember might of forgotten over the time?” Cadance responded. Celestia nodded her head.

“Well this is it. I’ll work something out and when I get back we will put whatever I improvised into motion” Her horn shined bright and she teleported off to the human world. She ended up behind an old abandoned building just a couple blocks away where Alex should be staying. Her horn it up and she became a gorgeous woman wearing a simple plain white dress. Her hair was the same as her main but she needed to tweak it. The sparkles made it a dead give away. So she used her magic and removed them and shortened her hair to be about shoulder blade length.

“Well let’s figure out what time it is here” She said to herself coming out from behind the building. As she strolled to where Alex was believe to be located she stopped by a newspaper stand and got herself the newest issue.

“So it’s only been about nine months?” she muttered to herself reading. Someone knocked her over while reading the gossip section.

“Oh I am sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going” A boys voice said. He grabbed her handed and lift her to her feet. “I am so sorry. My name is Alex by the way” He quickly started to dust her off. He looked rough like he barely eats and can’t manage to care of himself. She only had the mental thoughts the girls gave of Alex. She carefully examined him. This must be him but he is much skinnier than she thought he would of been.

“It’s alright really! My name Is Elizabeth Sunners” Celestia responded in her alias name.

“It’s nice to meet you Elizabeth, sorry I haven’t been myself for the last eight months or so. Had my heart broken into six different piece’s” Now he looked down to the ground. This must be him in the way he tries avoiding their names.

“Hey can we talk somewhere privately?” Celestia asked him.

“I guess it would be alright. I did knock you over” He said quietly and lead her back to his home.

PART TWO

“So this is my place” I told this strange woman. “Sorry that it’s a bit of a mess” I looked shamefully around.

“So who exactly broke your heart into six pieces as you say?” She asked me.

“I don’t know. Them or someone else, I don’t know. I loved them so much and they just vanished” I said gripping my chest. The pain of talking about it just makes things worse. She sat there silent for a moment as if she was planning something elaborate.

“Is it six girls you fell in love with?” She question me love life. I nodded in agreement. “Tell me about them” she asked randomly.

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you the truth” I said coldly.

“Were they ponies?” She said. I fell back in startle.

“Wha.. wha... what are you talking about? I don’t love a bunch of thoughtless animals on a barn” I said hiding the fact it was.

“Well I know some ponies that aren’t like that. They are intelligent and have feelings. They also love, and if I am not mistaken, some of them love you too” she provoked me.

“Who are you exactly? and don’t give me that fake name again” I demanded.

“Ask nicely and I will tell you” She said.

“Will you please tell me who you are?” I asked nicely as she said. she gave a sly smile and suddenly a flash of light appeared. What stand before me was a white alicorn with a sun as her cutie mark.

“So you are Celestia I presume?” I said confirming her existence.

“Oh how ever could you of guessed?” she said flaunting her poniely charms. I chuckled at her a bit.

“So you came here to make me feel worse?” I questioned her.

“No but I do have an Idea. How would you react if we made a town for humans and ponies alike?” she asked.

“We already had that until whatever happen to make the ponies leave.” I spelt it out for her.

“I recalled them because a pony was almost killed by a human out of hate” She coldly put it. I didn’t realize there were any violent actions against them. “But we will make a special zone for those who remember them like you” She seemed to have it all planned out.

“So you already made the place? If so would I be the only one?” I told her. She shook her head.

“No you won’t, well, hopefully. I still am looking for people” She turned around and began to go silent.

“So when will this town be made?” I asked her impatiently.

“Well it’s been done for quite some time. I thought way back to make it so... Now I have a use for it.” She was delighted at her previous plan.

“Did you tell anypony the reason for the forced back to Equestria?” She took a pause at the question. This I can tell she didn’t.

“No but they really don’t need to know. I’ll say there was a bad magical plague that wiped out most humans memories and it’s contagious. Only the clean one’s are allowed in the city. Which I’ll surround the city in a special cloak that would keep people from discovering except those who know about it’s existence. So pretty much you can be with your loved ones again” She said making a kissy face at the end of it. I managed to hold my blush in.

“So when can I move there?” I said in a quiet tone. I was so happy right there and then. I get to see my girls again! I was smiling widely.

“Well we can go there now. But it will be deserted and I still won’t be able to allow them in for a week give or take a couple of days” She told me. I looked feeling the emptiness coming back to me.

“Well then, let me get packing a couple of things and we can go.” I said going into my room and packing away some stuff I would need. I couldn’t care less for what would happen to the house. Since the whole mishap with Celestia erasing humans minds, I had to pay for the house on my own. Apparently she erased my moms memories to the point to where she had no idea that she even had kids.

“Is that it?” she asked looking at my luggage.

“Yeah I don’t really have much any more. I couldn’t care about the house either. No one remembers me anyways.” I told her putting it bluntly.

“Alright then we will go now. You can have the biggest house there. I am sure you’ll want the extra space if they live with you again.” she said. But before I could react to her statement she quickly whisked us off to her deserted town that was in very good condition. She shown me around the home. There were enough rooms for each of us to have for our own. I looked around and felt overjoyed and filled with excitement. But something nagged at the back of my head but I couldn’t think of what it was.

“Something is bothering but I can't figure out what” I mumbled to myself. She glanced un knowingly at me.Then it snapped back at me. I still had that I O U from her. I got the perfect idea on what to use it for. “Celestia may I still use that I O U i got from you a while back?” I asked her.

“Of course what do you want” She replied. I gave her a heart warming smiled and told her what my plans are.

Meanwhile in equestria

“Come on Twilight!” Rainbow Dash nagged her.

“Yeah we all want to know why we were forced back here!” Rarity added to what Rainbow Dash was trying to do.

“I am sorry girls! but my attempts at contacting her are unsuccessful” She barked back.

“I uh... just hope Alex is alright and doing well” Fluttershy meekly said. They looked down at the ground and gave a depressing look.

“Well let's wait and...” Twilight said before a message from Celestia came through to her.

“Well it’s about time!” Rarity said with relief. “No read it Twilight!” she jabbed her. She was quick to rub where she inflicted damage on.

“Alight rarity jeez!” She grunted and used her magic to hold the paper at reading level. “Dear citizens, I am sending this to everyone who has or wanted to go to the human world.”

“Finally she is telling us!” Rainbow Dash blurted out. she was quickly hushed by the others.

“Like I was saying” she cleared her throat. “There was a horrible plague amongst the humans. It was rather contagious and devastating”

“Oh no! We should try contacting Alex as soon as possible!” Fluttershy said worriedly.

“Let me finish girls!” Twilight snapped. She let out a big sigh and apologized.”Alright right where I left off. The plague has caused humans to forget about ponies entirely. But there are a small portion whom are immune to it. I have set up a special zone for those individuals to come and go as they please. The mayor of each city will be receiving a special device to allow ponies in and out as they please with the mayor’s permission. But the city is the only place where you are allowed to be in the human world.” She finished the note.

“Oh I hope Alex is okay” Fluttershy said worriedly.

“Nah he is a tough guy Fluttershy” Applejack reassured her.

“He better of at least not forget his favorite rainbow color pegasus!” Rainbow Dash blurted out. They gave her a cold stare and gave a heartfelt laugh.

“Well let’s go see if the mayor would let us go back!” Pinkie Pie bounced out of the room. The rest of the girls followed her towards their destination. They found the town hall and entered in as a group.

“Hey you girls here to go to the human world?” Mayor mare said at the front desk shuffling the papers around. The six ponies quickly glanced at her direction.

“Yes mam!” Twilight said to her.

“Alright just come with me to the back” She took them to the far back room of the building. They entered the room where the only thing in it was a portal to the human world. “Just to let you know, some humans still remember us and if you wanted to see one of them. Your chances of them remembering are slim to none. Just make sure you're prepared for that.” She flipped a switch and the portal turned on.

“Come on girls! the other world awaits us!” Pinkie pie lept into the portal followed by the others. The place was bustling with ponies and humans alike. It was if nothing really happen. it was just a fake place but yet it is real. The light was overwhelmingly bright as they exited the portal.

“Hey girls over here!” A familiar voice rang out to them.

“Jimmy!” Rarity ran from the group and tackled the human down. “I am glad you didn’t lose your memory of us!” She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and helped him up.

“Hey Jimmy is Alex here or did he forget like pretty much everyone else?” applejack questioned him. He gave them a cold stare for a minute.

“He is here but I should warn you that he changed a bit...” He said quietly trying to make it a bit more dramatic.

“What happened to him? Oh I hope he is alright” fluttershy started to get worried.

“It would be best if you say rather than me telling you” He said trailing off to his whereabouts. He shown them to the biggest house in town that sported a good ten bedrooms.

“So he is rich now!” Pinkie Pie blurted out at the size of the house.

“In some sense yeah” Jimmy said in sort of a sarcastic tone. He took out some keys but banged on the door first. “Alex I got a surprise for you!” He shouted out loud into the vastly large house. “Let’s go find him. He is probably out back.” He led the ponies to the back yard

“Is.. is that him?” Rainbow Dash asked squinting at the figure.

“Yeah that’s him. Just don’t be surprised.” He said leaving. The ponies shrugged off his sudden leaving. They guided themselves through the pathway to where he laid. He was under a beautiful gazebo sitting on a bench as if waiting for someone.

“Guh guh girls?” He turned around saying sobbing. “It is you!” He grabbed the six and gave them a big hug.

“Alex what happen to you dear?” Rarity asked looking at his change in appearance.

“Oh I was depressed when you left and well..” He trailed off. “I pretty much gave up. But now you are here! And I got something for you!” He said gleefully. He held out a large box out to the ponies. He now got down on his knees. He open the box and a bright light caught the six ponies off guard. “Girls... WILL YOU MARRY ME?” He said with the most sincerity. They went for the mouth from the wonderful news. They gawked at the six beautiful necklaces designed for each of them.

“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” They said simultaneously. “Yes! Yes! Yes!” The squealed delightfully. The hugs came shortly after.

“I got Celestia’s approval. We are going to get married in canterlot in Equestria!” He said with excitement. Their faces went wide open.

“How did you let the princess let you do that?” Twilight final was the first to ask.

“The IOU from the first christmas we spent together. I am enthralled that I’ve kept it. I get to meet your families.

“Wuh... wuh.. Whens the wedding?” Fluttershy stuttered.

“It’s next sunday. I am sorry that I couldn’t of done this earlier. Celestia has it all worked out but you can change anything you want.” He said to them.

“Oh can I make our dresses?” Rarity said excitedly. He nodded his head in approval.

“Oh I said that the Cutie Mark Crusaders can be the flower girls but Scootaloo wanted to be the ring bearer though it’s necklaces.” He mentioned. “Also I will finally get to meet your families!” He said with so much enthusiasm. They all squealed with delight.

The final Part

The castle was ravished with ribbons and all sorts of memorabilia. The girls went all out on the design of the wedding and the outfits. Each one was tailored to make them stand out. I just wore a nice tux. I was the only human allowed to be here. Not like I had anyone close to me except Jimmy that was male. Celestia gave the final words.

“You may now kiss your brides” Then there was that awkward moment of who I was going to kiss first. But they all jumped me and kissed me all over my face. I couldn’t help but accept it and love the moment for the rest of my life. That and the bachelor party that Spike BigMac and Shining Armor took me on.

And the live happily ever after...

Yeah I am not sure I would say this is an epilogue but whatever. The other ending will start at graduation and continue off from there. but it will be put on hiatus or I may never be able to come back to it. So I hope you enjoyed it.
