I awoke to a strange sensation on my stomach. It was like a fur coat...

Ahh!!!!! She's on me! I thought, slightly jumping up in shock.

Luna was laying on my chest, fast asleep. I calmed myself down and laid there, with her on my chest for a minute. My brain went to work on how I could slip out without her noticing. After much deliberating, I decided to slowly move to the right of the bed. I began shifting my weight to the right.

"Mhumm..." The Princess groaned, then readjusted herself on me.

Fuck. I don't want to wake her up.

"You ain't goin' no where..Muhumm... Captain Crunch." She grumbled as she slightly brought her head up.

Please don't vaporize me Luna...

Her head flopped back on my chest, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief. This predicament was rather odd, and dangerous... but there seemed to be nothing I could do to stop whatever was happening. So I let it go, laying there for what seemed to be a whole hour.

I took this opportunity to quench my curiosity about her hair. I decided to bring my hand down to her hair, and begin to comb my fingers through it. It felt like real hair... but it looked like an ethereal blob of stars. I was very fascinated with it, studying it for a good five minutes or so.

"Hey Travis..." Luna announced, picking her head up. She blinked, trying to help wake her up. "How did you sleep?"

"I slept good, what about yourself?" I responded, smiling at her.

"I loved it. I slept so well." She smiled back, still groggy. "Can we just lay here for a while?" She asked, much to my bewilderment.

"I guess so." I decided that whatever she wanted to do, is what I would do.

"This is fun." Luna added, her face gradually developing a blush.

"It is rather enjoyable to experience something like this."

"You are telling us... it is so much fun." She trailed as we laid there on the bed.

Does she have feelings for me? This early?

"What were your dreams about?" I asked, trying to break the tension in the room.

"We had dreams about a lovely pony who was nice to us. He really opened our eyes to certain issues, especially of relating to others..." She spoke in an admiring tone. "I'm glad I hadn't left your room last night." She added unnecessarily.

The way Luna was talking was concerning me. I kept getting a vibe that she was quite taken with me... but I didn't want to make any moves for a plethora of reasons. First of which... she's a Princess. I make a wrong move and I'm royally fucked... but then, I make a right move and I'm fucking royalty. But as of now, fucking is not in my vocabulary... nor do I intend on doing it to any of these ponies 'till I have to. Just saying.

"Yeah I'm glad you didn't either. I was terrified last night, and having you there was really soothing." I said to the Princess.

Her face lifted in happiness, with a large smile.

"We graciously accept thy complement! We consider serving those in need as the greatest of all duties we have." Luna said with great pride and happiness.

"So... uh, when's breakfast?" I asked, trying to break up some tension.

"It should be soon."

"Like how soon?"

"Soon enough to end our current state... unfortunately." She concluded as she began to get up off my chest. Luna went to the bathroom and closed the door, leaving me to my thoughts.

How the hell is this all happening? I think the devil is punishing me for what I've done. There's no other way. How can science explain this world? Talking ponies very similar to humans? Goodbye sanity... time to enroll me in the nuthouse! I'm hoping that if I wait, I can get some sort of an explanation with time. There was only one thing I wanted to do with my time here in the universe... go on adventures. Well I got it. Big time.

The door opened to the bathroom, bringing the sound of the flushing toilet to my ears. I broke my train of thought and got up to use it myself.

"Hey, you can go to breakfast if you want." I added as I passed her.

"We will stay and wait for you Travis." She said with a smile.

Well ok then.

I closed the door to the bathroom and began cleaning up. Part of my cleaning up involved using the new toilet. The experience wasn't that thrilling, but it got the job done. I undressed, then got in the shower and turned the water on. It felt amazing to have a nice hot shower in the morning to wake up and get ready for the day. Especially in this part of the universe. My shower was interrupted by my need to actually wash myself. I saw what looked like a bottle of shampoo, so I grabbed it and checked to see what it was.

Mane cleansing wash... close enough? I thought as I began to use it on my hair and body. It felt like it was working so I kept using it.

After I had lathered up my body, I washed off the soap and turned off the water. So far the comforts of this world have been better than my previous apartment in New York, which I am glad for. I hated living in the core of the "Big Apple". It reminded me of a mediocre version of Hell. Too many people, too many problems, and too many degenerates. From the ten minutes I've had outside this castle, I would say the majority of this place is tolerable... If I can get passed the way these horses look. Oh wait, I'm sorry ponies.

I grabbed a towel and dried off, thinking about how I could have come here. My clothes were on the floor of the bathroom next to the toilet. I walked over to them and picked them up, smelling them to see if they were ok to wear. To my surprise, they weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I threw them on and walked out of the bathroom.

"Thou looks rather dashing this morning." Luna complemented me.

"Thank you Princess, it takes a lot to keep myself this handsome."

"We can tell. Travis, we require your assistance in escorting us to the morning breakfast." Her face was engulfed in a smile and a set of almost flirty eyes.

"Well I think I could do that for you Luna."

She got up from the bed and walked to the door, with me right behind her. At the door we were greeted by Elysa, who promptly bowed to Luna.

"Good morning Princess!" Elysa said as she recovered from the bow. "I didn't expect you to be here this early."

"Good morning Elysa! We have been here accommodating our newest friend."

"Certainly Princess, and good morning to you too Sir." Elysa responded, making sure to greet me.

"What's for breakfast Elysa?" I asked, trying to figure out if I could eat whatever they are making.

"I heard it was blueberry cakes."

I sighed internally, relieved I could resolve the hunger that now was protruding into my thoughts.

We proceeded down the same path to the dinning hall, like last night. When we got there, Elysa left us, and Luna motioned for me to follow her. The two of us walked into the room and sat down where we were last night. Celestia had been awaiting us.

"Hello Travis, Luna." She said, sipping on a cup of hot tea.

"Good morning Celestia." I responded.

"How did you sleep?" Celestia asked the both of us.

"I slept pretty well. The bed was very comfortable."

"Yeah Travis and I slept incredibly." Luna remarked, instantly putting a tension between Celestia and I.

"Luna you joined our guest last night?" Celestia asked trying to keep her emotions under control.

"Yes, we found he was having nightmares, so we woke him up to see if he was ok. He asked me to stay because he felt scared, so we had a sleepover." Luna replied rather innocently.

"That was very kind of you sister." She said, sounding relieved. Celestia turned her head to me and asked "Travis, how you feel?"

"Honestly a little alienated, but not because of you two." I confessed. "It is hard to cope with being placed somewhere you never knew existed, knowing no one."

"It must be very hard to adjust." Celestia sympathized.

"It was nice to have Luna there last night... it made me feel safe."

I felt a pair of arms hug me after I had made my remarks. Luna pulled me closer to her and had me in a tight hug. I returned it, feeling a sense of appreciation for my new friends.

"Thou's kindness is extraordinary..." Luna added in a rather soft tone.

I shot a quick glance at Celestia, trying to visually see if she approved of what her sister was doing. To my surprise, she looked quite content that we were hugging. In fact, her face dawned a smile that hinted of acceptance.

"In Equestria, we believe that friendships are the cornerstone of society." She remarked as Luna kept me in the hug. "You would not believe how conflicts can be averted when both parties learn how to communicate. That's why we have many programs and institutions that focus on the development of ponies, and all creatures, to help them experience the magic of friendship."

Well... Welcome to crazy town.

Luna let go of me, staring at me with an obvious blush on her face.

"That is very interesting Celestia... how do these institutions work?"

"They are more like..." The princess paused to choose her words. "Schools." We bring in both troubled, and gifted ponies, then we teach them how friendship and magic work."

"Oh, ok. I'm curious how magic works." I ask trying not to pry too much into these friendship schools.

"Well I will try to explain it to you, but maybe another day. It would take too long today. Besides, after breakfast you have to visit with the newspaper... you have a whole day ahead of you."

"I suppose so... I'm looking forward to it for sure. I've been super curious about it."

I heard the royal meal procession as I finished my statements, and decided to finish my questions later. A brown pony trotted over to me with a silver plate, placing it before me, then began trotting back to the kitchen. The meal was less extravagant and flamboyant than last night's dinner, but still impressive none the less. It smelled incredible and looked scrumptious. I picked up my silverware and began to eat.

We spent five minutes in silence eating our breakfast. It wasn't a hostile silence, which I was happy about. I thought for sure that the whole 'Luna wanting to be friends that sleep together not in that way thing would have put Celestia in a bad mood, but she actually seems to think it is a good thing. Then there's Luna. Luna seems to be totally enamored with me for some reason. It is all strange, but hell... I'm on a planet with fucking talking ponies. Plus, Satan is real. And I did a ritual to him as a joke on halloween last year. And he's mad. Yay.

"Travis?" Luna asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes?"

"Would thou.. like to... maybe accompany me tonight for a tour of the castle?" She asked timidly.

"Sure! Sounds wonderful."

"We cannot begin to describe all the activities that awaits! All of them will undoubtedly contain the fun!" She exclaimed, overjoyed to hear my acceptance of her plan.

"The fun?" I asked, confused about her wording.

"It's how my sister describes things that she finds fun." Celestia explained with a giggle.

I laughed a little bit. "You sure do have a way with words Luna."

"We take pride in our mastery of the equestrian language, and its many facets." She responded in a prideful voice. "We are the only pony that speaketh this way in the whole of the kingdom."

"Huh. The more you know." I commented as I ate the last of my muffins.

"Tomorrow you can begin to explore the city. We should wait a day so that word can get out about you. I don't doubt that you will be the talk of the town. Everypony will want to talk to you." Celestia informed.

"I can't wait to see what this world has in store."

"Just know that the ponies that live in Canterlot are high society, so be on your best behavior." She warned, trying to sheild me from possible embarrassment. "I must attend to my duties, I will see both of you later."

"Be sure to enjoy the fun that awaits." Luna sniped at her, forcing a grin on her face.

"You know me Luna... always ready to listen to endless business proposals." With that she walked out of the dinning hall, leaving me alone with Luna.

I leaned back in my chair and sighed a breath of relaxation. Talking with Celestia was harder than talking with Luna. For some reason I feel nervous around her. I am always on my toes, trying to make sure I don't bite the hands that feed me. Or hooves in this case. She is so goal oriented, and I don't doubt that she will cut down anyone or anything that stands in her way. It's almost like I have to put on a new persona to fit her goals. With that being said, I don't dislike her. I'm just scared.

"So what dost thou think of our sister?" Luna asked, breaking the silence.

"I like her. Maybe a bit too formal, but that will probably change with time." I commented, noting the coincidence between what I was previously thinking and her question.

"Indeed... but all relationships are similar in that aspect." She replied. "What does thou think of us?"

"Well, I feel that you are easier to talk to. I notice that you are also a very caring and happy person, which makes me like you more. Not that I dislike Celestia, it just feels more natural to talk to you." I noticed Luna perk up at me talking about her positively.

"We take kindly to these words." A short silence ensued. "What would thou say concerning our appearance? How do we look compared to thou's native females?"

"I'd say you are defiantly very different, in a good way. Having stars in your hair has to be the biggest. It is actually very pretty."

We looked at each other with a mutual smile.

"We can make them change..." She said softly. "Each one is a star found in our night sky."

Looking in each others eyes, I knew instantly how she felt about me. She loved me. The feeling of her admiration had engulfed me, begging me to advance on her.

"How would thou react if We told thou that We could make thou a star?" She asked, inching closer to me in her seat.

"I would be pretty impressed... and flattered." I returned, making sure to keep a soft smile.

"Tonight, We will show thou everything We are capable of..." Luna's words escaped her mouth, full of hidden feelings and emotions.

"I really would like to see what you can do."

My words were cut short by the princess, who was very close to me at this point. She began to take shallower breaths, keeping the distance between us. Luna leaned in and gave me a peck on the forehead.

Yep... She's into me.

"Thou is extraordinarily flattering..." She said moments after the kiss.

I froze up. My insides began gushing with heat. I didn't know what to do. I was just kissed by a pony! Every emotion known to mankind was racing through my head. The whole world was spinning around me. And the worst part? I was blushing.

"Luna that was very... flattering to say the least." I said, trying to respond in some way.

"Sir Travis?" Elysa's voice called out, catching me in what I thought was a compromising position. "Your interview is in fifteen minutes."

"Oh? Is it now?" I called back. "I guess we need to be heading out then." Elysa rushed over to me and urged me to get up.

"Yes. We must make sure that you put a good impression in the media's heads."

"Have a wonderful day Travis!" Luna said as Elysa and I walked out of the room.

Well... shit.
We rushed from the main lobby down to a carriage that was waiting for us. Elysa and I climbed into the over-decorated cart then it yanked off towards our destination.

We sat in silence as the cart pulled us out of the Palace and into the streets of Canterlot. My eyes were glued to the window as we approached the town. Everything was very ornate and rich looking. Ponies were dressed in all sorts of suits and dresses, each with its own uniqueness. Buildings were packed close to one another to conserve space. It was fascinating to look at... and even reminded me of the 'Roaring Twenties' period of American life.

Wait a minute... I started looking closer at the styles of the ponies roaming the streets. All the female's hair were short. The men had mustaches and beards... one even rocked the Lemmy signature. Umbrellas were common though it wasn't raining. Signs warning against the 'dangers' of alcohol... Jesus Christ I'm in an alternate verion of the 1920's!

The realization had me stunned and left me with a million questions.

The cart began slowing down next to a tall building that read "Equestria Daily Newspaper & Associates". I figured this was where I was supposed to take the interview in.

"Alright, here we are. Make sure to be polite." Elysa reminded me as she opened the door and exited the carriage.

As we exited, I saw a white pony come out of the front entrance. It held the door open for us, inviting us inside. As we entered, the sounds of printing presses and ponies rushing around the main floor drowned out any conversation that could have been made. Papers were speeding through the various systems of pressers, which caught my interest. We walked along the floor with the white pony as our guide. He led us up a flight of stairs to the offices of the print.

"Ok you two can have a seat here, and I will get Mr. Darling." He said, pulling out two chairs from a desk with magic.

After a minute had passed, two ponies walked out. The first one was a younger pony in a dress. She had a notepad and pen suspended in air with magic. The second was Mr. Darling. He was rather tall and dapper, with signs of age in his face.

"Ah! Mr. Travis! So good to finally meet you. Ever since I got word a new race was here, I knew I had to see you for myself." He greeted me with a hearty chuckle.

"Mr. Darling it is a pleasure to meet you." I responded as Elysa and I stood up, and shook his hoof. "Allow me to introduce my royal servant Miss Elysa."

"Very good! It is a pleasure." He exclaimed as he shook the mare's hoof.

"How do you do." She said, bowing.

"Please sit down, we have much to discuss." Mr. Darling invited.

We took our seats and the interview began.

"So Mr. Travis, where to start?" The gentleman asked as he took his own seat. "Please tell us how you entered Equestria."

"I didn't know about this wonderful world until yesterday actually... I appeared here very mysteriously, and not of my own choice I might add."

"Interesting... So if you did not live here originally, how do you think you appeared here?" He asked as his secretary scribbled away.

"Umm... I actually haven't a clue as to how I arrived here. My guess is there is some sort of scientific explanation on how I got here. Maybe we could find that out with time?"

"Very good. Where where you before you arrived?"

"A planet named Earth. It is a small set of planets in the Milky Way galaxy."

"Would you elaborate about this planet?" He asked, bringing his hoof up to his chin.

"Well... it is a lot like this world except my race is the only intelligent life form on it. We are very industrious, like this planet, except we have more technology." I commented.

"What types of Technology do you have that we do not?"

"We developed a device called the computer. It has the ability to connect to millions of databases, anywhere you have connection to a system called the internet. The internet has anything you could ever want to know or see on it. There is so much stuff that If I spent my entire life searching it, I would not even scrape the surface of it."

The ponies in the room seemed to gain an excitement form the knowledge I relayed to them.

"Is there anything else that your world has developed that we do not have?" He asked, very interested in how the world worked.

"Yes, I've seen many ponies with wings flying, but no planes. We created machines for flight, so that anyone who wants to fly can do so. And instead of carriages, we use vehicles that drive without anyone pulling them."

"Exiting! It seems you really could solve much of our world's technological problems. Maybe you should share them with the Royal Department of Magic?"

"Maybe I should! After all, your people have been nothing but kind to me." I laughed, thinking of these ponies using cars and planes.

"So do you think your race will appear more here in the future?" He asked.

"Who knows? We might... We are still kind of limited in our exploration of space and worlds. The farthest we have traveles in space is the moon." I paused. "We have a moon orbiting our world a lot like yours... but we don't have Princesses that correspond with them."

"Is there no magic on earth?" He asks concerned.

"Well yes and no. There is magic, but is very taboo and considered evil. There are little to no people who practice it." I say, thinking of my encounters of earth magick.

"Alright I think that is enough for Equestria to process for a while. You will be a big hit Mr. Travis! Ponies crave the future... and you have given them more than enough to marvel over." Mr. Darling said, bringing the interview to an end. "Here, stand with me for a picture."

He stood up and motioned for me to stand next to him. His secretary finished her notes and put down the note pad. She proceeded to stand up and pull out a camera from her bag.

"Miss Abeline, make sure to get my good side!" Mr. Darling laughed as he extended his hoof to me. "Here, shake my hoof for the picture."

I grabbed his hoof and the mare snapped the picture, with a bright flash.

"Well Mr. Travis, it has been wonderful meeting you, but I must retreat to my other duties." He said pulling a card from his jacket out and extending it to me. "If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to call me or visit my office."

"Thank you Mr. Darling, you have been extraordinary... and I will for sure!" I said, accepting his card.

"Splendid! I will make sure to send a copy to you at the palace." He enthused as he opened his office doors for Elysa and I to leave.

We walked back down the steps to the noisy production room. Elysa turned to me and motioned for me to follow her back to the Cart. Well I hope that went well...
