The next day Twilight woke up, her head still fuzzy from her mental chat with the alien the night prior. She slowly gets up from her bed in her old room at the library that was rebuilt after Tirek's attack and heads downstairs to the kitchen to get some food only to meet up Spike half way. Spike looks as if he was still a little tired himself,

“Hey twi, our guest is up…”

“Oh, it’s up early...must be real day pony, huh?”

“Yea, last I check he was looking around the kitchen and…”Spike says before Twilight interrupts him.

When she gets downstairs the alien is looking around the various cabinets and shelves as if it was look for something. She saw various food items placed here and there as though it had moved them, but how could it do that? Before Twilight ponders, she saw the alien stare at an unopened cabinet, it’s eyes lit up, and the drawer cabinet began to move. What was odd though is that the cabinet wasn’t glowing. This stuns and confuses Twilight and Spike.

Before the alien could remove the objects from the cabinet Twilight ask, “What are looking for?” to which the alien then extends it’s annatane again.

“I’m hungry, I need something to eat.” It’s voiced echoes to Twilight’s head.

“Oh you can speak now?” Twilight says outloud.

“Not exactly, It’s more like I’m talking telepathically in the open, kind of like a broadcast.”

“Oh neat, that’s...nice to know...Just wondering, but can you read minds?”

“Not really no, why?”

“Just asking”

The alien then went back to his search for something it could eat. As it continues, Spike comes into the kitchen holding a hand full of gems. He then looked up to twilight and then ask, “Shouldn’t we give him a name?”

“You do know it’s not a pet right? Besides I’m sure he already has one”

“Yea but, last I remember, that alien forgot his name, I’m thinking...Blue!”

The alien turned it’s head at the comment, “Blue?” it echoes.

“Yea, because you’ve got a lot of blue on your body.”

“Hmm...Well, untill I remember my real name, I shall be known as Blue.” It responded.

Blue then sighs, it doesn’t seem to find what it was looking for apparently. Blue then proceeds to move back the objects it had pulled out back into their respective cabinets. Twilight then walks over to the fridge to find something for Blue to eat. She looks a round for something simple and finds an apple. Twilight figures that could help out. She then walks over to Blue and offered it said apple.

Blue gives the apple a quick sniff. The odd fruit smells alright, it could be edible. He takes a bite only for his teeth to get stuck in the fruit. Twilight and Blue, in a huge panic, now attempt to dislodge the apple from its teeth. Blue’s attempt was to pull with its hooves, this gets it no where. Luckily for Blue, Twilight is able to teleport the apple out of its mouth.

After removing the aforementioned apple, Twilight starts to make some pancakes for herself and spike. While she has her magic work the cooking, she begins to ask Blue some more questions. First she figures she’d start with something simple.

“So, Where are you from Blue?”

“I’m not completely sure about that...my mind seems to be blank there.” Blue echoes to Twilight.

“Also, do you know anything about your species like what you eat?”

“I’m clueless on that topic as well...I must have injured severely injured my head in that crash.”

“Oh yeah! I was going to go grab your ship some time. I need to know if it has anything, if that’s ok with you.”

“Sure I guess, I might help me remember something about myself and my species.”

Around then Twilight finishes her pancakes. Her, Spike, and Blue all sat at the table to eat, well Twilight and Spike anyway. As they eat spike rummages through his crystals. He then slid one over to Blue. It then eyed the gem and looked to Spike, this left Blue confused. Spike then told Blue to try and eat the gem. Blue then telekinetically lifted the gem and attempted to bite the gem. This only hurt his teeth. Before he could ask spike if this was joke, it saw him casually eating one of these gems with no problems.

Blue then decides to get up get up and excuse itself from the table before retracting its antenne. Blue then figures that it’d better learn what it could about this “Equestria” place while it’s stuck here. Maybe it could find where they store their information.

Meanwhile, Twilight has eaten her meal and got up and decide to go out and retrieve Blue’s ship. She got up and began to make her way to the door. As she made her way there she began to hear frantic knocking at her door. Maybe some else has discovered Blue’s ship, or maybe someone saw her taking Blue back to her place. Whatever it was about, she had to deal with it calmly. When she gets to the door, she opens it and greets a very eager positively pink party pony.

“Twilight, Twilight! It's my tail! It's my tail! It's a-twitchin' twitchin'! And you know what that means…”

“Stuff already fell Pinkie.”

“I know but this one was the doozy to beat all other doozies!”

“You’re telling me…”

“Ooh ooh can I meet him?”

“How do you know it’s a him?”

“Iunno.” Pinkie says as she shrugs.

“We are trying to figure out what he eats but all the apple did was get stuck and a gem ended up hurting his teeth.”

“Hmmm, maybe he only eats sugar, maybe in water? Nah, that’s just silly.”

“Nothing can survive on sugar alone Pinkie Pie, it’s scientifically impossible.” Twilight states. As the two friends converse Blue discovers the library. He sees many tomes but he couldn’t figure out this what they said on the spines. However, Blue decides that if he’s going to be stuck on this planet, he better learn the native language. He has learned a little bit from his mental chat with Twilight and Spike, but not much. Blue then notices a book with equine in a red dress. Maybe this one will help him learn more of this “Equestrian” language.

With his telekinesis, he brings the book down to himself and onto the floor. Blue then sits down and carefully opens the book with his forehooves. The first page shows the equine standing on a hill. Blue then notices the text and decides to take a stab at it, metaphorically. He then attempts to think the words. He’d say them but Blue’s kind lack the ability to speak.

“Sss...Seeeee...sea? Oh see, see Jaun….Jun...Jane, see Jane.” Blue thinks to himself. He then looks over to the next page. It showed the same red dressed equine but she was running.

“See Jane rrrr….rrrr….ruuu….rune? See jane rune? No wait, that doesn’t sound right….Oh run, See Jane Ran” Blue manages to figure out. This language didn’t feel to hard to learn, but he also has a guess that this may not even be the beginning.

Meanwhile with Twilight and Pinkie Pie, they arrive at the site of Blue’s ship. Luckily, the not offline ship is not smoking. Pinkie hops over to the odd vessel and decides to look inside the cockpit. Inside she can see all sorts of shiny objects.

“Oooh! What’s this button for?” Pinkie says as she reaches into the cockpit to push an odd, blue glowing button. The ship then starts to make some odd noises and shake a little.

“Pinkie! What are y-” Twilight yells before the ship begins to move. Pinkie quickly hops out of the way of the ship. The ship starts to stand up right out of the crater as it’s landing gear deploys. Now the teardrop shaped ship stands up and looks almost perfect, aside from the crunched parts in the front. Pinkie then looks to the a stunned Twilight and just simply says, “Oops?”

“Pinkie Pie, don’t...touch...anything.” Twilight manages to say to Pinkie Pie after the shock wore off her. She then looks back to the ship and process to use her magic to lift the ship up. Despite the ship being massive, it is pretty light weight. Blue’s ship must be made from some kind of light alloy. Suddenly, Twilight then realizes something…. How is she going to move a huge alien ship without being seen? It then pops into her head, she could hide this thing in AJ’s barn. Luckily Apple Jack is located near the everfree, so I won’t be a long walk. Off to Sweet Apple Acres!

As the two walk on the outskirts of town in the early morning they make their way to Sweet Apple Acres and manage to remain unseen. As the two approach the old Apple family abode Twilight hides it from view and put it in her barn.

“Oh hey Twi, what’cha doin’ here this ea-What in Equestria is that thing?” AppleJack asks as she point to the teardrop shaped ship that Twilight was levitating into her barn.

“Well, funny thing is, a-”

“WellTwilightwasstargazingwhenameteorcrashedbutitturnsouttobeareallycoollookingshipandtherewasanalieninsideand-hmmahmmph.”Pinkie Pie manages to say before Twilight quickly stuffs one of her forehooves into Pinkie’s mouth, shutting her up for the time being.
“Ah’ll be honest here….I didn’t get a word of that.” AppleJack responds.

“Long story short an alien crash landed in the Everfree forest and we need a play to hide the ship while we get to know its pilot.”

“So your tellin me ya’ll left an alien alone in your house while you hide its-”

“His” Pinkie corrects

“His ship, and you don’t even know anything about it?”

“To be fair he has amnesia so he doesn’t know either.” Twilight responses

“But he did have these huge needle like teeth and he got an apple stuck on them.” Pinkie says out loud.

“How do you know about that?” Twilight asks as she looks back in shock at Pinkie Pie who merely shrugs it off which Twilight is forced to accept it as ‘Pinkie being Pinkie.’

“So why do you want to hide it in mah barn?”

“It’s the only place big enough to hide it that won’t draw attention.”

“Yeah, the castle is too big and crystally to put it in there.”Pinkie agrees.

“Not to mention it is in plain sight.” Twilight adds,then she tries to move the ship into the barn only for it to get stuck on the door way. Apparently the landing gear makes it too tall now. She looks to Pinkie Pie who had presses said button. Pinkie then shrugs and hops over to the ship. She then scales the ship and then hops into the cockpit. Inside she looks for the button from before only to not remember. They all look so shiny and glowy. By sheer dumb luck, she press the landing gear button and it retracted. Pinkie then hops out and and Twilight stores the ship with no problems.

Now that problem is solved, for now, Twilight returns to her old house in the library. She opened the door only to find a surprised Spike. He looks as if he just something unusual. “Twilight! You gotta come see this!” Spiked yells eagerly. He quickly escorts Twilight to the castle Library to Blue with a few children's books scattered around and him reading them. Blue then looked up and waves his forehoof to the two of them. Twilight then used her magic to put the books Blue wasn’t reading back and saw what he reading, a book called “Colors and Shapes”. “Fast learner.” Twilight thought to herself.
