Jamie Stark, also known as Blue Sky or Princess Blue Sky, finally was told to go to bed by Twilight Sparkle. That was something he needed. A good night's sleep.

“Allow me to show you to your room, Princess.” It was no wonder she was called the Princess of Friendship. Jamie and Twilight became friends immediately, the fact that he was from another world helped, of course.

“Yeah, yeah…” He yawned in response. Him being tired made his clumsy walking seem natural. The next day, he would ask as much as he could about Equestria and ponies and magic. But for now, he needed sleep.

And he slept. From 7:40 P.M. to 11:50 A.M. to be precise.

“That's sixteen hours and ten minutes!” Twilight stated.

“Really!? I slept that long!? Sorry, Twilight.”

“No worries. Hey, wanna see if you can do magic?” That was unexpected. Surely he couldn't. But he could try. And if he could, than he would actually fit in.

“S-sure!” He said excitedly.

They walked out of the hallway by the guest room, went down the stairs, and opened a door to a large room. There was a table with a few items on it in one corner.

Twilight walked over to it and picked up one of the items with her magic. Jamie gawked in awe.

“It's just simple levitation. The very first spell I learned. Now, follow my instructions. First, focus on the object you want to levitate. Keep in mind that everypony has a carry weight. Mine is only two tons.”

He looked for something on the table to pick up. He decided on a book with a title: Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue.

“Alright, now imagine that you have the object floating in front of you. Got that? Next, focus energy on your horn and it should come right over.”

It did so with an auburn colored glow resonating off of it. Twilight cheered, thinking about how much of a natural at magic Jamie is.

Jamie did some experimenting, after he opened his eyes to a book barely a foot from his face. He opened the book. He closed the book. He tossed the book in the air and caught it again. He was pleased with himself. He was starting to not seem crazy to everyone. Then again, nobody else even saw him. Only Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Spike; Twilight’s dragon.

“You know what? I know just who can help you with your dilemma of being a pony. Plus, she's a unicorn, so she knows some magic.” Twilight said.

“Who would that be?” Jamie ‘Blue Sky’ Stark asked.

“Lyra Heartstrings. She lives just down the road. On 41 East Bit Lane. I think she has a roommate, but I know Lyra and she is, well… interesting, to say the least.”

“Then let's go meet her. She seems interesting enough.” Jamie said.

That's when Jamie found out that ‘just down the road’ to Twilight meant walking for thirty minutes. Jamie's legs were killing him.

When they arrived, a pony with teal skin and light blueish hair (plus a white stripe) answered the door.

“Hiya, Twilight! Who's this?” Lyra asked. She was perhaps a little startled that there were two princesses at the door.

“She is the princess of humans.” Twilight said.

That got Lyra’s attention. “Come on in, guys.” She said casually, ushering them inside.

As she closed the door, she asked if Jamie was really the princess of humans or not. He said no, but he was a human before.

Lyra led them to a study upstairs. Then the now familiar barrage of questions came.

After her inquisitive torrent was over, she knew almost the whole story.

“This is brilliant! I have so many more questions about humans! Twilight, bring him or her, whatever you are, here every day.” She then went to study, some book about human tools as she said, and then Jamie and Twilight left Lyra's home.

They walked out onto the street and started back towards the castle. As they rounded the final bend in the road, just about the whole town jumped out into the path. A poofy pink pony mare shouted 'surprise' and the group of ponies echoed her.

Jamie fainted out of shock, causing everybody there to gasp.

When he woke up, he wasn't in his guest room in Twilight's castle. Every part of the room but the floor was white. It was a pinkish color.

“Oh, you’re awake, Princess… Blue Sky?” Asked a pony mare who walked into the room.

“Yep! That's me! I am a princess! Definitely!” Blue Sky said, suddenly very awake.

“Okay, then. There's a pony here who says she knows you… name of Lyra?”

“Yeah, I know Lyra. Let her in, please?” He ventured. As a human, nobody listened to him. Here, if he's a princess, he might be respected for once.

“Why, yes, Your Majesty!”

The mare walked out of the room into the hall. As she did, she was bowing. ‘This is weird’ he thought. All he could do was wave her out the door. Lyra finally came, after some minutes, and sat in a chair next to him. But the way she sat… it wasn't like how the other ponies had, from what he saw. It looked… familiar. She sat with her back straight, her rear legs draped in front of the chair, and her forelegs were loose by her sides. Most ponies sat like dogs. But Lyra sat like a…

“Human.” Jamie said.

“What about them?” Lyra asked.

“Oh, it's just, well, you see…”

“Ohhh. It's the way I sit, isn't it?” Lyra said “Yeah. Human beings fascinate me, being just the way they are.”

They talked. And talked. And talked. And, guess what? They talked. All the time, they talked about humans. Until Jamie saw that it was 5:30 A.M. and got out of bed and walked out of the building he now knew as the Ponyville Hospital. Then, they talked some more on the way over to Lyra's house, only this time, Jamie was asking the questions.

He learned that Lyra had a roommate (like Twilight thought) who hated Lyra's obsession with humans. Her name was Bon Bon.

Author's Note

I wanted Jamie (Blue Sky) to be, well, awkward, around the ponies. This chapter accomplished that. It also opened the way into the next few chapters. A human being able to use levitation magic and... What? Oh, right! That would be a spoiler! Anyway, hope you enjoy!
