Twilight woke up from her sleep, the librarian had a nervous night, after receiving word from Princess Celestia that she would be having a guest, she got Spike to tidy the library. And, after reading that the guest could provide a learning experience, Twilight set thirty pages, three inkwells and four quills. But, after staying up until 1:30 AM, Twilight became nervous that the guest would never arrive. Drowsiness pulled her to her bed and she drifted off.

Hopefully, the guest would arrive today so she would stop chewing her hoofs.


Breane awoke, and sat up… something wasn't right. She felt awkward. She could see, hear and feel fine. But something was still amiss. She felt her face again, that's when she noticed what was wrong. She had no fingers, and her hand felt hard. Like a hoof…

Like a hoof, Breane looked down and at bottom legs and almost screamed. Instead of her normal armour covered human legs, were two blue, fur covered pony legs. Breane's eyes widened as she jumped up,

"Mi a szar történt vellum!" (WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME!) Breane couldn't stopped eying herself. She was a pony, a goddamn pony! Why was a a pony! And where was her armour! Breane gasped, where was her armour? Another fast inspection of herself, showed that she had no armour on.

Breane looked at her surroundings and saw that her armour and her black jump suit were in a messy pile next to the tree she slept by. But, how oh how, did her armour get off her? Breane fell down in confusion. What the hell was happening?

Breane stared ahead, remembering the town was apparently called 'Ponyville' according to Apple Bloom. Breane remembered last night, the manticore and the three fillies. Breane always had a thing for kids, after her brutal training as a child, she felt bad for children and was always looking out for them.

"Nos, azt kell, és én vagyok a póni…" (Well, there all ponies and I'm a pony.) Breane thought it best that she headed into the village. At least her being pony wouldn't cause any confusion, hopefully.

The part of the town she entered seemed somewhat empty, save for a few ponies that would take one look at her before returning to there lives. Breane entered a slightly more populated part of town. All the ponies were staring at her, and it didn't take a genius to tell why. Breane was taller than all the other mares and stallions and significantly buffer than them too. When Breane entered what appeared to be the town square, she was confronted by a pink pony with a puffy pink mane. The mare took one look at her before her eyes widened and she ran away.

"Umm…" Breane back away from the space where the pink pony just was. Some of the residents around her giggled. After another few minutes, Breane remembered what the princess had said. Breane grabbed the shoulder of a random pony, her mane and coat were peppermint colour and she had a flash of white in her mane and tail,

"Hey do you know where a 'Twilight Sparkle' lives?" Breane asked the mare

"Huh? OH, yeah yeah, she lives in a tree down this road. You can't miss it."

"A tree?"

"Yeah! It's the town library!"

"Okay, thank you." Breane began to walk down the street again

"My name's Lyra Heartstrings by the way!" The mare called after her

Breane ignored the pony and continued down the road. The cobble street went on for a while, but as Lyra had stated, there was an obvious tree shaped into a building.

"Thats… new?" Breane paced to the door on the tree and knocked. After a few seconds, Breane heard some shuffling on a the inside of the settlement.

Again, some more shuffling before the door opened. There was a room full of books, shelves and shelves of books, like a library, on the inside.

"Hello?" Breane asked, confused by the lack of a pony at the door.

"Down here!" a deep child's voice spoke. Breane looked down and saw a purple and green reptilian,

"What the!" Breane jumped back into a defensive stance, or what she thought was one considering she was a pony.

"Oh… never seen a dragon?" The reptile grumbled

"Dragon!" Breane exclaimed at the said dragon.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry I'm not old enough to breath fire or anything." His eyes drooped.

Unsure about him, Breane asked, "Is this where Twilight Sparkle lives?"

"Yeah, sure is!" The dragon shot up, "I'm Spike by the way!"

Breane." The spartan, now pony, responded in an monotone way.

"I'll go get her!" Spike went back into the library and Breane's eyes followed him, her went up some steps and a few voices could be heard.

"An invitation in would have been nice." Breane grumbled to herself.

The dragon came back down the stairs, but now followed by a violet unicorn. Her main and tail had two shades of purple and one of pink. Her flank also adorned a star typed image. Breane checked her flank and saw a pair of boxing gloves,

"What are these for?" Breane asked herself.

"Did you ask for me?" The voice brought Breane back to the library,

"What? Oh, yeah I did." Breane responded to the unicorn.

Twilight's eyes widened, "Oh, oh come in." She said sheepishly

"Thanks." Breane stepped in and saw… more books.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, star student of Princess Celestia and this is my number one assistant Spike!" Twilight addressed the hulking pony.

"Yeah, the princess told me." Breane turned to face Twilight.

"You know the princess?" Twilight's face turned a mix of surprised and happy

"Sure, she told me to come here." Breane said keeping her monotone voice.

"Oh, are you the guest I'm having?" Twilight's face light up more, thinking of the learning opportunity

"I guess, Breane by the way." She repeated her name to Twilight.

"That's an… odd name." Twilight closed the door to her library.

"Yeah well, it's my name. So, do I have a bed or am I sleeping on a couch?"

"Yes you have a room, why did you think you wouldn't?" Twilight giggled

"Nah, I'm just tired. Yesterday was terrible for me."

"You want to sleep?" Twilight's face saddened.

"Yeah, why?"

"It's just… I was told that you could provide a learning opportunity."

"I think that's best saved for later." Breane thought she should present information once she was back to a human and 'Ponyville' was used to her, god that was a weird name 'Ponyville'

"Oh, but… Nevermind. Hey, do you know anypony here?"

Anypony? Wow, just wow, "No, I just met a pony called Lyra trying to figure out where you lived. But I'm not aquatinted with anyone."

"Anypony." Twilight corrected

"What?"

"Anypony, it's proper!" Twilight smiled

"I say anyone, just let me say it? What were you talking about a second ago? About me know anyone here?"

Twilight's eye twitched, any form of speech error was a personal tartarus for her," I just thought that maybe you'd like to meet my friends?"

No, please for the love of god no, "How about after I finish sleeping?" Hopefully I wake up back on Reach.

"Oh, okay. Spike, could you show our guest to her room?"

"Okay! Follow me Breane!" Spike ran up the stares. Breane slowly followed. Spike led Breane to a small room neighbouring Twilight's. The had only a bed, bedside table with a lamp and a bookshelf in it.

"Cozy." Breane said, she turned to the small dragon, "Alright, I'm going to sleep now, could you please leave?" Breane asked Spike

"Oh! Yeah, sure!" Spike ran out of the room.

"Why is he so eager to work? He's gotta only be seven! Wouldn't that be child labour?" Breane questioned the dragon's eagerness. Eventually she settled on Twilight being a motherly or sisterly figure, or he was forced to act eager in front of guests.

Breane settled on the bed and stared at herself for the umpteenth time. There was a way to be a human again? Please say there was! I'd probably have to resort to killing myself if I stay as a pony. As stated, Breane was always the stubborn type.

Instead of sleeping, Breane sat on her bed, thinking for three hours.The hours went by fast, as there was many things to think on. From being on a unknown  planet filled with ponies to the grunt she killed almost one month ago. This was one reason why Breane would constantly volunteer for single spartan missions, she enjoyed being alone with her thoughts. Though, she still had a spartan squad, they were like siblings to her. Their commander was James Zero Five One, Breane was their close quarters soldier, they had Zack as the heavy weapons man, Clayton as the midrange, Austin as the techie and Ashley as the marksman.

Breane had spent countless hours on missions with that group. Kilo Squad, that was the name of the squad. They had served with the famed Noble Squad before. That before David, the earlier noble six, has K.I.A. That was how she knew Jorge and the rest, she was particularly fond of Emile, his smartass attitude and her's fit together perfectly. The two squads served together three times. They had been sent on an orbital mission out side of Reach to deal with a few rogue covenant drop ships, they also got rid of a large resistance camp. Before the covenant war.

Those were the days, Breane remembered her first mission, she was yet to get into a squad and some resistance has attacked a UNSC training camp. Luckily, only three UNSC soldiers were confirmed dead, instead of the normal of around twelve. Guess the resistance didn't know they were attacking a ODST training camp.

Breane glanced at the clock situated in her room, it was nearing noon. She'd been there for three hours, two minutes and forty six seconds. Time flies when you remember fighting for your life, kicking blue Covenant ass. The Covenant were a reason Breane was against religious activists. Breane got up off her bed, the sun shined through her window as she opened the closed curtain.

Breane placed her pillow in the sunlight, it was a little deflated. (Fun Fact: If you put your pillow in the sun it will fluff up, the sun absorbs the moisture which fluffs the pillow) The tall pony exited her room and began to walk down the stairs…

Why was it so dark? Did Twilight and… what was his name? Spike? Yeah, Did Twilight and Spike leave? Without telling her? Man, real nice to their guests. Wait, what was that? Some thing moved, it sounded like hooves. Burglars? In this colourful, happy happy joy joy pony place? Seemed unlikely. Wait, another noise, it sounded like rubber or plastic. A balloon? Was there a pa---

A bright light flashed Breane's eyes. On instinct she jumped back, expecting a fight. But, of course it was just a party. Breane sighed, while all the ponies shouted "SURPRISE!" How had she not heard them setting up?

The pink blur from before appeared in from of Breane's face, "GAH! HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" Breane shouted, extremely surprised from the sudden pink.

Twilight walked up next to Breane, "Just ignore it, it's just Pinkie being Pinkie. Not everypony here is used to it yet."

"Yeah, I can see how. It breaks so many laws of physics!"

"You know physics?" Twilight eyed Breane, she seemed excited from how knowledgable her guest was,

"Yeah it had to study it f--"

"HI I'M PINKIE PIE, I MET YOU OUT SIDE LIKE A SUPER LONG TIME AGO, WELL MAYBE IT WASN'T THAT LONG BUT IT FELT SUPER LONG BECAUSE I ONLY SAW YOU ONCE AND I WANTED TO SEE YOU AGAIN. BUT THEN I REALIZED, I ONLY SAW YOU ONCE! THAT MEAN'T YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANYPONY HERE, BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY PONY HERE AND IF I NEVER MET YOU THAT MEAN'T YOU WERE NEW HERE, AND IF YOU WERE KNEW THAT MEAN'T YOU HAD NO FRIENDS AND THAT MADE ME SO SAD SO I WA--"

"Yeah, okay, I get it. You felt bad for me and organized a party for me. But also, how did you organize it in three hours?"

"OH, IT'S ONE OF A SUPER DUPER PARTY TALENTS! They're so super awesome because I get to make parties and parties are so so so so so so SO FUN!"

"Uhh, yeah."

"Do you like parties because I like parties, I mean I REALLY REALLY LIKE THEM!"

"I've never been to a party."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Pinkie almost screamed, surprised, confused and somewhat scared that her guest had never been to a party, "B-But, now we have to show you all the party games!"

Breane winced at 'Games', "No, trust me, it's fi---"

Breane was cut off by being pushed towards a snack table, "What?"

"HERE, HERE TRY THESE! AND THESE! AND MAYBE THOSE? YES! YES, TRY THOSE, OH AND HOW'S THIS?" Breane was choking, almost dead, from all the different desserts being crammed down her throat. With a line of drool dribbling from her mouth, Breane spat out the foods from her mouth. If she counted correctly there were 37 different types of cupcakes and other disease causing foods, "How did I fit all that in my mouth?" Breane felt her jaw, it felt normal… if she knew what normal for a pony was.

Pinkie pushed Breane around the entire party. Breane did attempt to call for help, but all the surrounding ponies ignored her, as though this was normal.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PONY! Breane's mind was screaming at her, something was wrong with 'Pinkie Pie' something more than hyper activeness.  It was like Satan formed a pink pony mould, opened its brain, and poured all the craziness and 'serial killer like mind' powder he could find into this one pony. Something, god doesn't even know what it is, was wrong with this pony.

"Please for the love of who ever your god is STOP!" Breane shouted at Pinkie. The party pony stopped and her mane deflated instantly, how that happened, Breane would never know. Breane edged closer to Pinkie,

"Look, quick movement frighten me, where I'm from shit happens when something moves quick if it's not me. So, PLEASE, for the love of god, please stop moving so quickly!"

Pinkie looked as though she was about to cry, she never meant to frighten a new friend, "I… I'm s-sorry t-that I-I s-cared y-you." Pinkie sniffed in-between each word. By now, everypony in the room was staring at the pair,

"HEY! Don't ever shout at my friend!" Some strange, blue blur flew out of no where and knocked Breane of her hooves. It turns out that a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail had Breane pinned to the ground,

"Hey, lesbian looking pony, could you please get off?" Breane was irritated, no, frustrated by the sudden actions of the 'Oh so kind and caring ponies who love and tolerate'

The mare snorted, "I am not a lesbian, at I'm not getting off until you apologize!"

"Holy shit! I'm not apologizing! It's something so small and simple that it DOESN'T EVEN MATTER!" Yep, ever single pony had stopped the party and was staring at Rainbow Dash and Breane.

"Well, if you aren't gonna apologize, then I'm not getting off!"

"You really gonna do this?" Breane raised a patch of fur, where her eyebrow would have been.

"Yes."

"Yep, okay, fine. This is your fault." Breane pulled her front right leg out of Rainbow Dash's grasp, her strength far more superior than the athlete's. The movement caught Rainbow Dash off guard, Breane took her free hoof and delivered a punch that Winded Rainbow Dash, now it was easy to push Rainbow Dash off her. Breane sat up and looked at the surrounding ponies, a blonde orange mare with a stetson hat walked up,

"Don't hurt mah friends!" She snorted and slid her hoof on the ground, acting like she was going to charge,

"Look, I'm gonna stop you there. I didn't hurt her, she's just winded, look she's pretty much fine now!" Breane motioned her hoof to point at Rainbow Dash, who was off the ground and coughed. Now she was fine.

"Plus, she attacked me first, so it was jus self defence. Normally I wouldn't hurt anything for no apparent reason. Now, hows about we call what I did instincts, which they were, and call it done. It doesn't need to go on further." When Breane finished she opened her eyes in her mind, 'Holy Shit, did I really just say that? Back on Reach, I woulda whipped the shit out of anyone who did that to me!'

The orange mare calmed down and walked up to Breane, "Alright, fine. Ahm Applejack." Applejack extended her hoof. Guessing that it was a hand shake, or 'hoof shake' Breane placed her hoof on Applejack's and they shook each other's hoof.

"Breane." The large mare looked at all the surrounding ponies, deciding on who to apologize to first. Probably Pinkie…

"Well fuck, I suck at apologies…" Breane mumbled to her and walked over to Pinkie...
