Tusan! (d'oh)

"Princess Luna?" I asked.

"Yes, thou is correct. We are Princess Luna, raiser of the moon, and Co-Ruler of all Equestria, What be thou full name be creature?" Luna asked with sincere curiosity.

"Alexander Hall, I am a human, specifically homo sapien, ethnicity sweden and most of all; I'm a displaced." I presented myself as.

"A-a displaced?" Luna asked out of curiosity. I explained about being displaced from your homeworld into another and being stuck there forever all because of that förbannade (goddamned) merchant who's selling toy which would become the actual objects.

"That's interesting. We would like to ask many questions about thee race and society. Also if we can, we could find a way to send thou back home." she offered. While it is kind of her I know that it is not possible.

"You honor me with this help offering. But it is not possible." everyone was confused as I continued "It is said that once you been send to another dimension, you are stuck there forever." once I said that. Everyone, including Luna, was shocked and saddened.

"I see... we are sorry for thou faith in our world... *sniff* but also... *sniff,sniff*" Luna said, as she looked very heartbroken. I took a step or two towards her and then... AJAJAJ yelping as her hands shot out and roughly grabbed me as I was brought into a near bone crushing hug. A stifled sob escaped her throat as her eyes watered.

“WE BEG THINE FORGIVENESS FOR OUR MONSTROUS ACTS! WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WE MET THEE AS NIGHTMARE MOON! WE REALLY, REALLY BEG FOR THINE FORGIVENESS!" She shouted, her voice shaking the foundation of the building as I winced, a loud buzzing filling my ear as I tried to escape her death grip. When she refused to release me, I sighed.

I alla fall är hon tillräcklig hederligt nog att ta ansvar (At least she is honorable enough to take responsibility).

"You have no need for this sadness. For the truth is, Nightmare Moon wasn't even close of doing what she was trying to do. Before I meet her, I summoned strong familiars and they held her long enough for the elements to defeat her. In other word, you have done me no wrong princess." I said trying to encourage her. And it worked. The princess eventually allowed me my body back, luckily unbroken, as she blushed and smiled awkwardly as we spoke.

"We are glad that thou are not hateful toward us. Although our sister told us to come to thee to make sure thou do no harm to the ponies of Equestria." Luna explained but I was still confused.

"What reason could I possibly have to cause trouble?" I asked.

"There is a strict rule to our subjects about carrying weapons." Luna explained as she turned her eyes on Elderstahl on my waist. As I notice her and the girl's stare at it I put my hand protectively on Elderstahl.

"You know partner, you should definitely give that sword over so that nopony would be afraid of you." Applejack suggested as others agreed. But I protest.

"No. This weapon is a corrupter, a seeker of death! It would be unwise to hand it over. Elderstahl is a sword with a mind of it's own and therefore it will possess all except the owner. If I give it to anyone else, the end of all existence would be happening!" I try to reason with them in order for me to keep the sword. They all looked confused at my talking.

"Are thou saying that it is a magic sword?" Luna asked.

"Pfff, yeah right, just an excuse to keep it around, huh?" Rainbow Dash spatt. Förbannade häst kärring! (fucking horse bitch!)

"It is." I said as I pulled Elderstahl alittle enough for the others to see the demonic fires comming from that sword. Conviced them that as long as I carry the sword, it will not harm anyone.

Luna, överaskande (surprisingly), agreed to let me keep the sword, but she need to inform Celestia that I was safe and to be treated as a citizen of Equestria whilst she would convice Celestia to allow me to walk around with Elderstahl.

Not that it is important but still, even Luna misspelled my sword to Elderstar.

Sadly after Luna teleported away, a new problem arose. The earlier incident with Fluttershy and me, we started the most uncomfortable conversation of my life. Attans sablar! (Dang dammit!)

I learned that sex was not nearly as strict as it was in my world and that having sex with someone after knowing them for one day was not uncommon, never mind one week. Unfortunately the topic of my age and sadly human mating came up as I mentally groaned.

“So Alexander, I've been meaning to ask you about your species mating cycle,” Twilight queried, her face perturbed as I hesitantly explained.

“As I told you before my species are referred to as humans or Homo sapiens, our species are considered fully grown at eighteen but can engage in sexual activity at sixteen,” I briefed going into detail about the roles that humans played and other important facts.

“How good are you in bed and how long do you last?” Rainbow dash asked while chuckling as her friends berated her. That was sadly ignored as she waited to gauge my reaction.

“(angry sigh), why don't you ask miss Fluttershy. I’m quite sure she can describe the quickie we had last night,” I said, feeling slightly guilty for bringing Shy in as Dash’s laughter ceased a look of shock replacing her smile. Luckily, Fluttershy was not affronted but the mention of it being a quickie shocked her.

“Wait, that was a quickie? But we were at it for about ten minutes!” Fluttershy said, squeaking as she realized what she had said, causing the room to once again go silent until I said.

"Yeah, so?" in confusion.

"You're meaning to tell me that a quickie for you is ten minutes?” Rainbow asked, her eyes glowing slightly as she smiled.

“How do you last so long? I mean, from what the books says, normal stallions last about forty seconds,” Twilight said uncomfortably.

"First of all the male version of human is Man not stallion. Second this was literally my first sex so I have no idea how long I can totally last. Third humans have evolved from a species where sex was viewed as a type fun. Humans can build up great stamina and last several rounds before tiring. Most humans can go from three to seven rounds depending,” I said with a bore tone before shivering as I felt the stares of the mares on me. Fluttershy comfortingly squeezed my hand, allowing me to relax as her reassurance helped stem my embarrassment.

We happily chatted, finding out about customs and culture so there could be no miscommunication in the future.

When I looked at my watch, it was 23.57

"As nice as this conversation is, I'm tire and I need to sleep, don't you ladies?" I asked politely and they agreed. I looked at my right below and saw Moona laying there still looking at me.

"Oh, and Fluttershy." I said getting her attention.

"Remeber when you asked me if I ever had a pet?" I asked. She and the girls looked confused but it looks like Moona knows what I am going on with this.

"Yes?" she said nervously.

"Will it be fine if I bring myself to the treehouse with a new pet with me?" I asked in riddle. Fluttershy looked supprised but Moona's tail was wagging quickly.

"A pet? You? hahaha, what animal would want to be your pet?" Dash was asking with a mocking tone. I turn to Moona and kneeled down next to her.

"What do you say, Moona? Would you be willing?" I asked while I already have a hunch. Moona bounced, barked and licked (my face) happily for me asking her to be my pet. Applejack and Rarity was surprised, Dash was not pleased about it and Fluttershy was happily smiling. I found Moona's happy mood amusing before I turn to Twilight asking her about letting Moona and I stay in her guest room until we have a house of our own. Which, to my enjoyment, she agreed.

Three days after dumheterna (the stupidities), I was spending most of my time with Moona. Going for walks, learning new and more magic spells, and playing with the wolf to catch flying sticks, using my familiar wolves for Moona to practice her combat skills. Spending time with Moona was the funniest time of my life here in Equestria. I would normally go look for a jobb, but thanks to my geomancy and it's combination with my skyrim Alteration magic I could turn soild rocks into gold and reshape them into Equestrian currency, Bits, so I have what I need to buy food for me and Moona and get me some new clothes. Twilight informed me about the Princesse's decision of letting me keep my sword. I would be allowed to carry Elderstahl around on the condition that I would have a house cesses and a watcher to report them about all my activities. I was glad that I could get a house of my own, but the watcher cause me to be nervous. My instincts tells me about having my "Watcher" as a roommate. Twilight explains that a watcher is like a bodyguard to someone with royal employment and that the watcher would ¨watch¨ and guard me, and see to my well being but they would report to the royals, but something tells me that the princesses wouldn't choose just anyone to be my watcher, they want someone who can take me down if I choose to go lose. To get prepared I used my magic to enhance my own muscles to be more stronger, my strength, endurance, stamina, etc. have increased so that I won't have to rely on magic and sword alone. Because of my mass enhancements I now looked like a teenage *Captain America*.

One day I took Moona with me for a walk enjoying the warm glow of the sun as I reflected on my brief time here.

“Pssst, Pssst, Alex come here.” I heard someone whisper. Spotting Pinkie I waved, confused why Pinkie made rapid gestures to come over. Moona and I looked at each other in confusion before we jogged over, I swore as her hand lashed out puling me in as the door was shut.

“Alright vad i helvete (what the hell) is going on?” I whispered as the others looked at me in fear.

“There is a strange pony out there,” Applejack whispered as my eyebrow rose in disbelief.

“Who, where?" I deadpanned, looking at them in confusion.

"Her!" Pinkie hissed poiting at the window as I looked. There, in the middle of the street, was a mare that was dressed in a cloak that covered her body but left her legs exposed, my eye caught the pattern of white and black.

Hon är en Zebra.’ '(She's a Zebra).' I mentally noted amazed as I gently pried Pinkie off of me sneakily making my way out as she burst into song about the zebra being evil. Skitprat (Bollocks)#this is British english#. Moona and I walked to her, I coughed purposely announcing my presence as the woman whirled around, her eyes momentarily going wide before in a calm voice stating. ”What a unique creature you could be, still very attractive, I can see.” Her voice was soft, and sounded distinctively foreign compared to the ponies accidents here.

“Greetings I'm Alexander Hall and this is Moona (Moona happily barked). I apologize for the lack of ponies, they seem to have a xenophobic idiocy in their heads that you are a monster,” I said sticking out a hand as she smiled accepting it.

“Zecora is my name and as some say rhyming is my game,” she said, I was amazed as I said that I could see that.

"Miss Zecora, it is an honor to meet you and I would like to welcome you to Ponyville like you I am fairly new here too. I hope you don't mind if I speak to you its just some have unfriendly labeled you a monster and I wish to correct that” I stated my eyes slightly narrowing at the building where the girls were hiding, Twilight would hopefully speak some sense into them.

“By all means it is my pleasure, speak we can at our leisure,” She said motioning for me to follow her as we departed, the looks of horror Pinkie Pie and the rest of their faces causing me to roll up my eyes as I followed the strange Zebra.

We walked for about half an hour, making our way through the thick plant life and leafs that flooded the forest floor. We arrived at a small hut, which I assumed was her home as she beckoned me in. Her home put me in mind of a voodoo shop since the walls were lined with strange and in some cases creepy masks and a large cauldron was nestled in the middle with a mint green smoke slowly rising. She indicated to a chair. I flinched as a large rat scurried past my leg, darting into one of the many empty cauldrons, as I decided to keep my feet off the ground.

“Please friend, ignore the pests, for none too often I have guests,” Zecora chuckled as she placed her cloak on the wall causing my eyes to widen. It was revealed that she wore little more than ragtag pieces of cloth barely covering her private areas, I manage to shake my head quickly off my gawking. I was lucky that she didn’t notice as she sat down, her eyes brimming with curiosity her hands clasping mine.

“Tell me my friend of your life, feel free to skip its strife,” she inquired making herself comfortable as I filled her in.

We talked for hours about our homes, traditions and other aspects of each other’s lives. Zecora was sympathetic towards my victimization in the comic con by that merchant, patting me on the shoulder as I smiled. Zecora told me about her profession as a healer and how her family had a long history of shamans and healers. Zebrica was the name of her country. She told me of the many races that lived there and the history of her country. I told her about my world telling her of our accomplishments and how we used technology to make up for our more vulnerable bodies. As she showed me her talents of shamanism and alchemy, I showed her my ability with magic and Elderstahl.

Soon night started to fall and Zecora walked me and Moona back, chatting idly as we followed the moonlit path. I tried not to gaze at her admiring beauty in the moonlight, her ample chest more than a distraction, aldrig i livet skulla jag vara ett pärvo (Never would I ever be a pervert). Zecora must have noticed my struggle as she lightly giggled but took no further action.

“Hey, what are you doing with Alex!” a brash voice bellowed, causing Zecora to freeze while I and Moona was startled as a cyan blur shot past us, blocking our path. An enraged Rainbow Dash glared at Zecora.

“You better not have hurt him or I’ll-" Raindow Dash was interrupted by an aggressive wolf who bark and growl at her. The rest of the six showed up their faces all showing concern as they scowled at Zecora. I saw Zecora’s eyes widen.

“Beware! Beware you pony folk! Those leaves of blue are not a joke,” Zecora said causing my eyebrow to rise as I spotted the blue flowers. Zecora retreated and disappeared into the darkness as the girls ran forward, their hurried footsteps sending the flowers everywhere as they started babbling.

“Are y’all okay?” Applejack asked as Fluttershy fussed over me, her hands skillfully checking for any injuries.

“She didn’t hurt you did she?” Twilight asked. Her stare scrutinized me as I rolled my eyes.

“Stop stop stop stop, ladies I am fine! Zecora’s is just a friendly healer!" I soothed as they accompanied me back, their protectiveness touching, if slightly overbearing at times. Moona notice my disfomort so she tried to shove the ponies away from me which I am very grateful for.

“Hey girls you go on ahead, I want to have a private word with Alex." Rainbow Dash said, eying me as the others hesitantly agreed although curious as to why she wanted me but politely went on ahead.

“What's this really about?" I asked as I stood with Moona, watching as her wings shuffled while she fidgeting, refusing to meet my eyes.

“You scared us today,” she said her tone cold as I tried to contain my temper.

Seriös!? (seriously!?) I don't need any permission go anywhere I want!" I said as I am annoyed.

“UH listen here monkey! Next time you decided to wander off I will make you sorry,” She growled raising her fist as she took a menacing step forward. But Moona was having none of that, so once again she growl angrily, causing Rainbow Dash to back off a little.

"As an adult human being, I will do, think, say and go where ever I want and there is nothing you can do about it, do I make myself clear käring!? (bitch!?)" I said with much anger in me. Rainbow was so provoked by my tone, she stalked forward her eyes on fire as she try to roughly grab me by the scruff of my neck. Before she could touch me, Moona take action, two inches close Moona almost bited Rainbow cause her to fly up to avoid it. Quickly I use my telekinesis to grab her and throw her down on those blue flowers. She looked up to me with fury in her eyes, but stood still since she knows she would be no match against Moona and my magic.

"We're done here." I started to walk only to see Moona still growling at Rainbow. "C'mon girl." I said as Moona and I walked back out of the forest, while Rainbow Dash followed us flying, not trying to do anything.

As we exit the forest, Rainbow flew back to her home as Moona and I went back to Twilight's library. As we went inside, Twilight was organizing her books. Notice us she came towards me with a worried face.

"How is everything? What did Rainbow wanted to talk to you about?" she asked worried about me.

"Rainbow tried to armstrong me about not going any where without letting you ladies know. My magic and Moona showed her that we do not take kindly to violence towards us." I said and Moona barked of support.

"I... I.. I'm sure she jus- where are you going?" she asked while I was on my way upstairs.

"To the guest room, I'm tired. Twilight, do you believe in these false accusations and lies about Zecora? I was talking to her and she has a heart of gold. She's just different." I asked her, still disturbed about how the village treat her.

"I don't know why ponies would look at her like that. But it's only stupid gossip and rumors. I'm sure we can clear that up soon." She said with confidence.

"I hope you're right Twilight, I hope your right. I know you would like her." I said.

After we said good night to each other, I and Moona went to the guest room. I locked the door and we hit the bed and went to sleep.

*Next Day*

As the sun begin to shine to my eyes. Annoyed but it did worked to wake me up. I stretched out arms to relif my tireness. Before I could get out of bed, I felt something resting on my lap. I looked down and saw Moona sleeping with me. "Hehehe, jag är verkligen glad att ha dig (Hehehe, I'm really glad that I have you)." I said quietly as I smiled and stroked Moona's head, Her action in the forest and here has proven her to be a loyal friend to me and I could not have asked for anyone better. Later on Moona and I heard a noise of someone sounds worried over something. Moona and I looked at each other in confusion before we rushed out of the door to find out what is going on.

"No no no no no no! None of these books have a cure! Huh, there has to be a real reason for this. An illness? An allergy!?" I saw Twilight stressed her eyes blood shot as her horn, for some bloody reason, limply lolled from side to side comically.

"What's going on there!?" I asked worried from the stairs. Twilight saw me and Moona rushing from downstairs.

"I don't know. I woke up this morning and found my horn turned like this. I don't know what could be the real cause to this!" She said in a panic tone.

"A curse!" Spike said with a green book in his hands.

"I said a real cause. Something that points on something real!" she stated.

"How about this one?" Spike showed Twilight a green book with a light green plant at the front page.

"What's this?" I asked.

"Supernaturals? Spike the word 'supernatural' referred to things like ghost, spirits and zombies. Which makes us believe in curses, this book is just a bunch of howies." She said not thinking that that book could help.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover Twilight, for all we know this mess could be-" I tried to say but was interrupted by a funny sound.

"Ah pfurse!" I looked behind me and saw Pinkie Pie with her tounge streched out with blue spots. Vad fan!? (What the hell!?)

"A purse? How could it be a purse?" Spike asked stupidly.

"Pinkie? What happened?" Twilight asked worried.

Aaand Pinkie talks with spitting and drooling which made Spike wet.

"Hey, say it, don't spray it, Pinkie!" He demanded before we heard a crash outside the treehouse. We saw Rainbow Dash crashing to the window.

"She try to say- ow- Zecora- oh!- she slapped us all out with a- ow!- curse!" Rainbow Dash keep saying while crashing around.

"I'm afraid I have to agree." I heard Rarity's voice behind me and saw her so comically hairy.

"I hate to say I told ya so, Twilight, but I told ya so!" we saw Applejack call out to Twilight, but she is so small like an ant that her sister Appleblom had to carry her in her shoulder.

"It's a curse, I tells ya!" Applejack shouted.

"Skitprat! (Bollocks!) This is too stupid to be a terrible curse!" I shouted since to my eyes they are so comically ridiculous.

"But... Fluttershy seems just fine!" Twilight looked at her.

"Yes! there dosen't seems to be a thing wrong with her, or Alex!" Rarity said while Fluttershy was silent.

"Fluttershy are you ok?" Twilight asked but Fluttershy looked away.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy nob but was still quiet.

"Would you care to tell us?" Twilight was getting annoyed and Fluttershy was still quiet.

"Sooo... you're not gonna tell us?" Twilight asked and the quiet Fluttershy nob.

"Yes you're not or yes you will?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy shook her head, still quiet and then little Applejack ran on the table comming to her.

"GOOD gravy girl! What's wrong with you?" she shouted. There was a silence for a while until...

"I don't wanna talk about it." Fluttershy finaly says something... with a jäkla (bloody) masculine voice!!

Spike snorts, then bursts out laughing.

"This is hilarious! [laughs] Look at them Alex! We got: Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Apple Teeny, Flutterguy, and... uh... I got nothin'... Twilight Sparkle. I mean you and I can't work with that." Spike said to me.

"I agree that they all look silly, but nothing explains what is the cause of all this." I said worried.

"We all know that no good zebra, is behind all this!" Applejack squeaked.

"That's rubbish Applejack, Zecora is a kindhearted healer, she specializes in making potions to cure illness, stop being so bloody xenophobic,” I said offended by her accusing Zecora.

“Don’t you use your fancy words on me.” she grumbled pacing back and forth as her sister watched a wicked gleam in her eye.

"As long as you act moronically I'll use my fancy words on you as much as I like!" I said pointing out on Applejack which she didn't like. Everyone was put forward an argument, Twilight and I sadly being the only ones that defended Zecora as the others brushed us off. Out of the corner of my eye I watched as Apple Bloom discreetly left, causing me to smirk as I decided to follow. Used my hand to tell Moona to come along. The filly was roughly about my size until my enhancements made me two heads taller than her. She seems not to notice me and we soon came to the Everfree forest, the filly hesitantly stopping as she shuddered.

"Hello Applebloom." I said as I approach her and she got startled.

"Alex? y- you where..." she began to be nervous.

"No need to be alarmed, I know where you're going to, and it's actually a good idea. If anyone can help them get better Zecora can. I'm comming with you." I ensured her as she sigh in relif.

We both, with Moona, began to talk to each other while we strode though the potentially lethal forest. Until.

"Stop right there you two!" someone shouted and got us startled. We soon saw little Applejack on Applebloom's head.

"No more stupidity, you two turn around right now!" she ordered us but we smirked.

"No." Applebloom said which shocked Applejack.

"No?! You can't ignore a direct order from your big sister!" We both began to laught as Applebloom placed her on a branch her smile widening as she leisurely strolled away.

"Hehehe. Sorry, Applejack, but I'm the big sister now." she said as we continue our marry way.

"Good one!" I said for it was funny. We walked until we meet Zecora.

"Greetings Zecora." I said causing Zecora to notice me with a warm smile.

“Ah my friend, I'm glad you here, who's with you there?" she asked. I presented Applebloom to Zecora as we explained what we're here for. We chatted as we walked, Zecora filling me in on Poison Joke, a flower that liked to play relatively harmless jokes. Strangely it hadn't affected me, jag vet inte varför (I don't know why) maybe because I wasn't from this world. Apple Bloom, to my surprise, was surprisingly book smart, her knowledge and understanding leaving me speechless at points. Despite her being the same age as me her mind set was still very much a child and that meant that she was still very naive in certain aspects.

I was sent to retrieve a couple of the poison joke flowers due to my resistance, Moona was acting as my bodyguard, luckily we ran into no bother as I tenderly plucked the exotic flowers. Placing them in a satchel provided by Zecora I and Moona made our way back the peaceful air undisturbed, or so I had thought. As we approached Zecora’s home we heard the sounds of struggling and yelps of pain as I began to panic. Tearing down the path Moona and I sprinted into the thresh hold my eyes ablaze as the occupants shrieked in fear.

Realizing that it was only the girls I was relieved but Moona knew better so she rushed in, growling and barking to protect Zecora. I was taking aback by their looks of fear.

"Vad i helvete (what the hell) is wrong with you ladies!" I shouted in shock and annoyance.

“My friend the fire in your eyes gave us quite the surprise,” Zecora said making me realize that I had startled them, my brash reaction to the situation having the subtlety of a bull in a china shop.

“Oh, my apologies I wa..." I was interrupted by the mess inside the house and Twilight blushing furiously as the rest awkwardly shuffled about.

“You didn’t.” I groaned as their embarrassed looks confirmed my suspicions. I sighed irately as I explained the situation to them.

Luckily Zecora had been able to whip up another batch of the remedy, kindly curing them despite the fact they had nearly destroyed her home. After the girls had apologized and politely been kicked out, Moona and I stayed behind to help Zecora clean the mess. Luckily nothing of value had been destroyed and fortunately we had been able to save many of the potions and vials.

“Thank you for solving the miscommunication, you have my appreciation,” Zecora nodded her calm demeanor pleasant as I helped her move the pots over to their original place the house now back to its original state.

I and Moona walked Apple Bloom back as she had decided to stay and help us clean up. She talked about her life on the farm and about harvesting apples. She also explained to me in great detail how important a cutie mark was and why she wanted hers so badly.

After the whole event and Appebloom went home. I return to spend time with Moona until Spike came to us on a run.

"Hey Alex(huff), there you are!(huff)" Spike said taking heavy breathing.

"Hello there Spike, something going on?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Twilight(huff) send me to(huff) get you cause(huff)... You're watcher is here!" Spike finnished.
