Hero

That night, you couldn't sleep, so you decided to sneak up to the lookout of Twilight's castle. While you were on the lookout, you thought about what had happened in Canterlot.

"My name is Archaeus? You said aloud. And more importantly how the hell do I get this thing off of my neck?" You attempted to pull and tug at the amulet when touched the skin that surrounded it and realized that it was literally burned into your skin.
"Awesome, just phenomenal."

"What's phenomenal Archaeus?" The initial sound of Twilight's voice coming out of nowhere even made your soul jump.

"Nothing it's just that so much has changed over the past few days that I can't really keep up with what's going on."

"I understand where you're coming from, it was very hard getting used to the name "princess" and the fact that the treehouse library was gone. But I was able to get comfortable and you will find your comfort zone too."

"Thanks for the reassurance Twilight "

"No problem but you've got to get to bed soon, you need you sleep."

"Yeah about that, I can't really sleep."

"Why not?"

"I just can't get to sleep long enough. Whenever I get to sleep, I wake up drenched in sweat right after."

"Oh that isn't good."

"I guess I'll give it another try though."

"Sounds good." After finishing up the conversation with Twilight you decided to go on to bed, but this time you went to sleep and stayed asleep.

After you woke up the next morning you had decided to make breakfast since Twilight was still asleep in her room.

"Eggs, pancake mix, orange juice, combine." You said finishing up the breakfast and started putting the food onto the plates. Once you were done with that, you went to go get Twilight and Spike.
"Twilight, Spike! I made breakfast, come down and get it!" Then in a brief amount of time, the door opened and by the door was a messy haired Twilight.

"What'd you say?" She said lazily.

"I made breakfast."

"Oh, I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Alright." You then made your way back the kitchen and took your seat. You were just about through with the eggs until you were greeted by Twilight and Spike.

"Good morning." They both said in unison.

"Hmph." Was all you could say since your mouth was completely stuffed with eggs. This remark caused Twilight to giggle.

"So what do you have planned for today Archaeus?"

"I decided to take up Applejack's offer on bucking."

"Are you sure you can do that, I mean apple bucking isn't any ponie's sport."

"Worth trying isn't?"

"Well you've got a point there." After breakfast Twilight offered to clean the dishes so you can get there early. While you put on the clothes you first had on when you came to this world, you noticed Axiom in the corner of your room. Once you were done putting on a shirt you walked over to Axiom and grabbed it, turning it or him on as you made your way out of the castle. Once you made it past Sugarcube Corner you were met with Pinkie Pie who then instantly bombarded you with questions.

"Hey Archaeus, where you going, do you make your sword speak or does it do that on it's own." You could feel your brain cells start committing suicide one by one as you try and keep up with she's saying.

"Oh hey Pinkie I was just making my way down to Sweet Apple Acres."

"Oh that sounds cool, I hope you have fun with AJ." Then she turned into a pink blur as she ran back into the bakery. Putting the literally "mind numbing experience" behind you, you continued your journey until you were seen by Applejack who was bucking apple trees near the entrance.

"Oh howdy, there Archaeus. I'm mighty glad you showed up."

"Same here, so how do I do this apple bucking thing?"

"It's easy, you just gotta hit the bark of the tree with all you got."

"Wow it's that simple?"

"Well to me it is, but I gotta good feeling bout you, go ahead and show me what you can do this tree here." Analyzing the tree, you picked up you leg to get it ready for a kick, you failed miserably. After your 3rd failed attempt at knocking a single apple down, you got pissed and punched the tree, parts of the bark flew off. Immediately after,the apples came falling down. "Well I'll be." Aj gasped as she examined the tree, "That type of apple bucking would put Big Mac to shame. Just how in the hay are you strong enough to do that?"

"I don't kno-" Axiom interrupted you

"You aren't fully strong yet, but you are still somewhat strong altogether."

"Wait, fully?"

"Yes, when your instincts reach their highest point, you will show your true strength and power."

"Why is this happening to me? Axiom didn't answer.
Hey!" No response again. A voice slowly gradually made it's way to your ears.
"Archaeus? Archaeus?"

"Yeah, yeah what is it?"

"Are you alright, you were starin' at your sword for a while there."

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Alright since you look so tired, I guess you deserve a apple cider. C'mon follow me."

"Yeah I'm down for an apple cider." She had led you to the barn house and grabbed a cup.

"Would you like it hard or regular?" You thought about it for a second, you foolishly assumed that "hard" meant it to be sweeter.
Oh were you in for a wild ride.

"I'll take it hard."

"I gotcha on that one." She handed you the cup of apple juice and you took a sip. It was slightly less sweeter than regular apple juice but you guessed that was how apple cider usually tasted here. You heard the roar of a jet only to see Rainbow Dash as the source of the sound. She landed gracefully and made her way over to the barn house.

"Well I guess you aren't a square after all." She told you with a smirk

"Since you're here Rainbow, how bout' we all get a drinkin' contest goin'?"

"I'm game." You then realized why the apple cider was tasting so strong, but you didn't back out of the fight.

"Sure, why not?"

"Alright, let's do this." AJ said as she took more cups and filled them up with a different elixir, it bore a big resemblance to Coca Cola.
Applejack set down the three mugs filled with the frothy liquid. "Alrighty now on the count of three, One Two Three!" Your reflexes were quick and on point as you took the mug, snapped your neck back and drained it. You were the first to finish as you slammed your mug down shattering it.

"Done." Applejack and Rainbow Dash stopped drinking, they were only halfway.

"Wow, you sure know how to knock 'em back." AJ said with a congratulatory tone. Rainbow Dash just looked like a deer in headlights.

"Yeah, good job I guess."

"Thanks."

"But I bet I can drink more than you can!"

"Your on!" The challenge was on as you and Rainbow Dash eyed each other while Applejack explained the rules.

"Alright you two, drink till ya drop but whoever passes out first loses. One, two, three, go!" You started hitting the mugs with lighting speed and eventually you started to get woozy. While you were drinking, you looked over at your competitor to see that she was already at her limit. Her eyes were red and she was super flustered.

"No way, I lost to you?" Rainbow Dash groggily spoke before letting out a loud belch, hitting her head on the table.

"And down she goes. I tell ya, you sure are a good drinker."

"Not quite, I may be fast but I am not immune to it." You stumbled to your feet and made your way to Rainbow.
"Hey Applejack, do you know where she lives?"

"She don't live here on the ground."

"What?"

"She lives in the sky. There's a city called Cloudsdale where the all the Pegasus folks live."

"I'll just take her to Twilight's." You responded grabbing and picking up Rainbow Dash with your arms. You waved off Applejack as you left Sweet Apple Acres. Rainbow Dash was pretty heavy for her size but it wasn't anything you couldn't handle. Once you made it to Twilight's Castle you knocked on the doors with your head.

"Just a minute!" Twilight called from the other side. She opened the door a good 30 seconds later.
"Hey Archa- woah what happened to Rainbow?!"

"She just had a little to much to drink, she just needs to sleep it off."

"If you're certain it's going to work, go right on ahead but where is she gonna sleep?"

"In my bed." This made Twilight raise an eyebrow.

"Where are you gonna sleep?"

"I'm good on the couch."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am."

"Ok, I'll bring you a blanket in a few minutes."

"Thanks." You say as you made it over to your room, opening the door you gently put Rainbow Dash into the bed wrapping her with the blankets. Soon after laying down on the couch, Twilight came with the blankets and pillows.

You had some trouble sleeping but not as much as the night before.
