***POV Jordan***

As Twilight and Shining were walking down the stairs with me on her back, I noticed how their house was really homely and comforting. It was comparable to the houses humans made. But they were a bit outdated. They looked more like an ordinary grand-parents home than it looked like a recently built family home, only in way larger proportions.

I also noticed the strange absence of basic electrical equipment, like wall sockets, decent switches and other things. The only thing I saw were a few ordinary light bulbs which are a bit outdated and even banned where I live. Probably one in each room. Maybe they rely on their magic to do more common things for them in the household environment? Just like humans rely on technology.

The closer we got to their parents, the more nervous I got. How tall was an adult pony? Shining armor towers over me and he is only twelve.

Also, their behavior around me when we just met was pretty strange. It was almost like Shining and Twilight were approaching a cat or a dog. How would their parents react or approach me? Another question that was bugging me: how long was I knocked out for? The last thing I remembered was passing out at a pond in a park.

Anyway, I guess it is time to face the music. Because we just reached downstairs.

“There are our sweethearts with their little cutie,” I heard a more mature female voice comment. When I looked over Twilight her shoulder, I was mortified.

They are huge. At least twice as tall as twilight or me for that matter. And that is only in height. Most of their size is in length unlike humans where it is in height. They may call themselves ponies but they got nearly the size of regular horses.

First we got the female who commented on me. Once again a unicorn with light grey fur. Purple/lavender hair and tail with white highlights in them. Gray/cyan eyes and trippel purple stars as a cutie mark.

The second one was a bit taller and also a unicorn. I assume that this is Shining and Twilight’s father. His fur was blue. And his mane/tail were a deep midnight blue. He had a white crescent moon inside a yellow crescent moon as a cutie mark.

I waited for Twilight or Shining to introduce me to them before I would start to talk. I didn’t want to frighten them unnecessarily.

“Mom, dad. You might want to sit down for now,” Shining started

“Sigh. What did you two do this time?” asked their dad.

“Nothing, but there is something we should tell you,” Twilight said.

“What is it dear?” Their mother asked.

“Well...” Twilight took a decent pause before continuing, “Mom, dad. Can I introduce you to Jordan Eckhart.”

“Apparently he can talk,” finished Shining.

I decided that I was going to make myself known and confirm the claims both siblings were making. “Hi,” I squeaked.

“...” No answer from both of them. Both their eyes were as wide as dinner plates. I decided not to tell anything else until they ask for it. I would rather let them calm down on their own terms, than to shock them even further.

“Well, this is one interesting development.” It was the mother who first started to speak again after a minute or so.

“Hello Jordan. Nice to meet you. My name is Twilight Velvet and this is my husband Night Light,” She said with a shaky smile.

I Jumped off of Twilight to greet both parents like I would greet any other human.

“Hello Mrs. Velvet. It is nice to meet you too,” I said while I gave her a handshake. It looked a bit stupid because I needed 2 hands to shake her hoof. But I was not about to be impolite in someone else’s home, be it either a human, pony or someone else.

“Hi Mr. Light. It good to meet you as well.” And I gave him a handshake as well.

You felt the atmosphere tense up the longer everyone stayed quiet. But I didn’t want to impose so I waited for someone else to break the ice.

The first one to break the tension this time was Night Light. “Aren’t you a polite one. Even though this is not what we expected. Kids, when did you discover that Jordan could talk?”

“Just after you guys left. He woke up shortly after that. And that’s when we found out.” Shining was the first to answer this question.

“Ok. Jordan could you tell us a bit more about yourself?” asked Velvet.

I told them the same things I told both siblings upstairs.

Quite an explanation later they started asking more relevant questions.

“And do you have an idea where you came from?” was a dreaded question asked by Night Light.

I asked if I could talk to both parents alone for a minute or two. This way I thought that it would be easier to explain certain things.When both siblings were back upstairs again, both parents gave me a look to signal the floor was all mine.For some reason I was a bit compelled to give them the whole truth. And that was what I did.

I gave them a warning that everything I would say would be the utter truth and nothing else.

With that in mind I started my explanation of where I came from. I told them about who I was back in Belgium. I told them that I didn’t know where Equestria was compared to Europe or if this was another world or even another dimension.

After the explanation of my life, I started to recall the past day. With the incident at work up to where I woke up with Twilight and Shining next to me. Both of the parents stayed quiet throughout my entire story.

I didn’t notice that I was crying again. God damn, I’m such a wimp. With the explanation done, I waited for a reaction from both of them.

Both of them had tears in their eyes.”My dear,” Velvet started, “That is just awful. And with the ridiculousness of the story, I highly doubt that you would make something like that up.”

“It must be pretty terrifying for you to be in an entire new environment completely alone,” Night Light commented.

“Also, judging by how you got here in the first place, I don’t think you could return to wherever you came from even if you wanted to.”

That was a hard truth that I didn’t want to hear because of the overwhelming sadness it brings. But at the same time I knew in my heart he was speaking the cold truth. I put my head down in sadness.

“Look dear if you want, you could stay here. I can already see that you, Shining and Twilight get along quite well,” Velvet said trying to cheer me up.

“If you are offering. I mean I really don’t want to impose.” I really didn’t want to seem rude.

“Nonsense. A little guy like you could never impose. We can hardly leave you on the streets now can we,” Night Light chuckled.

“Thank you so much,” I answered.

“Now with that out of the way. We have something to discuss with you as well,” Night Light continued.

“Light! Not now!” Velvet interrupted.

“We have to tell him honey. So far he’s only been honest with us. We should do the same in return,” Light argued back.

Sigh. “You are right.”

“Glad you think so,” Night Light said a bit proud. It looked like he had finally won an argument for once.

“What is the problem exactly?” I asked.

“Right here we have documents for an appointment with a veterinary,” Night Light pointed out.

“Why?” I asked again. I didn’t like where this was going.

“We planned a visit to the veterinary somewhere next week, probably after Twilight’s exam to see if you are healthy. We didn’t think that a normal doctor would be familiar to your anatomy. Also we didn’t expect you to be sentient really. There is no known sentient species of primates.” Night Light finally dropped.

Son of a gum-chewing funk monster! Why the fruit does all of this funny stuff happen to me?! It’s like this whole world just likes to bend me over, and find me in the alps, like I’m some sort of shuck receptacle! Well as far as I care, fate’s miserable cows can have a fancy barbecue, with a god damned pig!

Sigh. This explains quite a bit though. Like Twilight’s and Shining’s behavior when I first woke up. Light’s and Velvet’s behavior right now. They just thought that I was an animal or an exotic pet of some kind.

“What exactly happened when I was out?” I was hesitant to ask but I needed to know.

“First you must understand that Twilight and Shining depend a lot on each other’s company. But Shining has friends he goes out and has fun with, while Twilight doesn’t really have those. So earlier today they both came in really excited and asked if they could keep you as a pet and a friend,” Velvet explained.

“Look,” she continued, “We might have also acted upon impulse. We should have checked first if you could talk or not, but you were knocked out. We have also never met anything like you before so we didn’t know any better. And we can’t expect Twilight and Shining to make that judgement on their own. They are just children after all.”

“Can we cancel it? Or is it just a one time visit?” I asked quite confused with the situation.

“It is a one time visit. We can ask the vet to make some document for you and you will be able to give your input on those so that he knows what is important and all,” Night Light said.

“Can we go after that to a normal doctor, just to be sure that he gets the info as well?”

“If you really want that, sure. It will be no problem.”

“I know you’re probably not happy with what we just revealed, but it is a one time only.” Understatement of the year from Mrs. Velvet.

“If it is only one time, then I can live with it. One problem as well, I don’t have any documents for staying permanent in this country with you guys,” I said with a bit of worry.

“We could look to get you citizenship here in Equestria. But that could take a while,” Velvet said.

“That would be great. Thank you both,” I said with gratitude.

“Now if you are going to stay here, then I have only one rule as well,” Night Light said. Both Velvet and me were looking quite strangely at him.

“What is it sir?” I asked.

“Be a really good friend for my little Sparkle. She never had any real friends. And with her entry exam nearing, she’s going to need support of a friend of some kind at the very least. Also in the future you will do your best to make her as happy as you can. I only want the best for my little sparkle.”

Damn, I didn’t see that one coming. And neither did Velvet judging by her facial expression.

“I can’t promise that because there will be moments that I will disappoint. I am not perfect. But I can promise that I will try my hardest to do so,” I vowed.

“Then that is all I ask of you. For now, I welcome you to our household, Jordan.”

That quote just hit a heart string I think.

And then we heard hasty hoof steps back up the stairs.

“I think we had a few spies during our conversation,” commented Velvet with a bit of a smile.

“Kids you can come down now. We know you were eavesdropping. Also it is time for dinner and then off to bed with you three,” Night Light said with authority.

When they came down, they looked really sad. I think they heard the entire conversation. They probably thought that I blame them for anything.

“Twilight, Shining. I just want you to know that I don’t blame you for anything. You guys did nothing wrong,” I said. Sometimes a direct approach is a good one. Immediately they looked relieved. I think that was a lot of weight removed from their shoulders with just one sentence.

**TIME SKIP**

After dinner we got sent to bed. Apparently I was going to sleep in Twilight’s bedroom. They gave me a very large pillow as a mattress and a small blanket to sleep comfortably. The pillow was placed on the nightstand on the right hand side and they relocated the alarm to the nightstand on the left.

“Goodnight Twilight.”

“Goodnight Jordan.”

And with that she fell asleep.

This was one crazy day. I really hope fate can tone down the amount of crazy. Because I can only handle so much in one day.

With that final thought I dozed off as well.
