I wake up on a soft bed with something wet on my head. I sit up groggily and watch as a wet piece of cloth falls onto my muzzle. I shake it off and see that I'm still in the library in Twilight's bed. I can hear voices coming from the main room downstairs. I push the blankets off and roll off the bed onto my hooves. My hooves hit the floor with a dull thud. The voices stop. I hear some creaking of wood from someone coming up the stairs.

The door opens to reveal Twilight and Spike. “Hey guys, what happened? Last thing I remember is suggesting we go get something to eat.” I say calmly. It was true. After I suggested we get something to eat, I don't remember anything. She seems to relax a little from her tensed up stance.

“Oh, you tripped and banged your head on the floor.” Twilight said with a nervous smile.

“Really? Dang it, that's the seventh time that has happened to me. I swear one day I'm gonna get some significant brain damage.” I say as I rub the tender spot on my head. “Is everyone still here? I heard voices down stairs.” I say as I walk over to her. She backs up a bit with… Was that fear in her eyes?

“Twi? What's wrong? I know I'm not the best thing to look at but I'm not that bad looking am I?” I say as I try to look for a mirror. Not knowing that was not the reason why Twilight was scared of me.

“N-no, its not that. Can you come down stairs please? Some ponies are here to speak with you.”

“Okay, sure.” I said following her then stopping. “Uh, actually can I use your bathroom first. I need to relieve myself as it were.” I said as I crossed my back legs trying to hold the fluid in.

“Second door on the left in that hallway.” She said pointing down a hallway. I rushed past her and slammed the door behind me, forgetting to lock it. I ran to the toilet and began to empty my bowels. After finishing I came to realize I needed a shower. So I took off my jacket which revealed scars over my chest, stomach, back, and neck. Most of the fur didn't grow around the scars. I climbed into the shower and since my adoptive parents moved around a lot I knew how to use all kinds of shower fixtures and the like.

I got the water to slightly below hot and looked around for some body wash and shampoo. I soon began singing as I usually do when I'm in the shower.

I didn't even notice that music had started coming from nowhere that went with the song. I found some of Spike's body wash but only found some of Twilight’s Shampoo and Conditioner. I sighed as I knew my hair was going to smell like lavender today. Then I ran into another problem. Spike's body wash was for scales, not fur. So I had to use Twilight's. I really didn't care what I smelled like but I did care what others did. That was a rather embarrassing day.

I started by getting my mane and tail wet then grabbing Twilight's Shampoo I squirted some of it into my hoof. I put the bottle back and began scrubbing. It took about 3 minutes but now my mane was completely sudsy. Next was my tail, this was the hard part. I never had a tail before so this was going to be a new experience for me. I then got an idea and went looking into my new vast well of knowledge. And there was a lot. From experiences to spells to names. I looked through the spells and found a levitation spell.

“Telekinesis? Sweet.” I started levitating everything like I would do as if I was grabbing them with imaginary hands. Soon my tail was clean and so was my legs and fur. I turned off the shower and stepped out. I didn't hear Twilight asking if she could come in. She must have took my silence as a yes. She opened the door and gasped as she saw my scars. I froze in place as I stared at her wide eyed. We stayed that way for a couple of seconds, frozen by shock.

“GET THE FUCK OUT!” I yelled using the RCV. She scrambled backwards and I slammed the door. I quickly found a towel and began drying myself off. Once done I put my jacket back on. It needed to be washed. I walked out of the bathroom and went down stairs to find a sobbing Twilight and Fluttershy, Celestia, Spike, and Rarity consoling her. The rest were glaring at me.

“Whatever she's crying about is her own fault. She should have never came into that bathroom. What she saw was not meant to be seen by your eyes.” I said as I walked past them into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of Apple Juice. What? It's good. I walked back where I was hugged by Twilight which surprised everyone there. Even me. I softly pushed her off.

“Number one, don't ever touch me. Number two, don't touch me. Number three, I don't need your pity.” I said as I flopped down on the couch. I then realized something. I couldn't sit like a human. I shifted around till I got comfortable. I took a sip of my juice and waited for the questions.

“Who did that to you?” Twilight asked with tears in her eyes still.

“My father, the caretaker of the orphanage, bullies, etc. But I still turned out on top. Some where arrested, others got crappy jobs. Me? I went to college. In the end, I was the winner.” I said taking another sip of the juice.

“Twilight what are you talking about? What exactly did you see?” Rainbow Dash asked throwing me an accusing glare.

“You want to see? Fine, I'll show you.” I said agitated as I took off my jacket. When I completely took it off they gasped. They took in the amount of scars over my body. “This jacket was given to me by my brother before were separated. I always were it, and when I'm not, I'm having it cleaned, stitched up, or fitted to match my size. I wear it in his memory and to cover my scars.” I told as I took another sip of my almost empty glass.

My eyes were a bit misty but I rubbed the tears away with a fetlock. I chocked back a sob at the memory of watching him slowly shrink in the orphanage window as I was driven away. “He was my only real family.” I couldn't hold it back anymore and began sobbing.

“Why couldn't we stay together!” I cried out crying. I felt somepony hug me and the smell of lavender. Twilight must have been hugging me. That smell was then ocampanied by apples, followed by a fruity mixture, cotton candy, some kind of perfume, and the smell of grass in the morning after a light rain. Must have been the others. “I miss him.” I chocked out. I rarely cry, but when I do, it's for a good reason.

When I finally stopped they pulled away. “I'm so sorry you were separated from your brother, I can't imagine losing my brother like you did.” Twilight consoled.

“Ah agree.” Applejack said.

“Thanks. But it's been such a long time, I don't think we would recognize each other.” I said with a bit of a sad chuckle. “We always believed that one day we would see new places that none have seen before. Looks like I beat him to the punch.” I sighed and looked down. “Too bad we couldn't see this place together.” I felt Celestia place her wing around me.

“I'm very sorry you two were separated. I know what it feels like when you lose someone very close to you.” I leaned into her hug and nuzzled her chest. I don't know why I did it but it felt… instinctual. I couldn't know it but Twilight, Rainbow, and Applejack were now extremely jealous. I backed away and took a swig to drink the last of the apple juice. “Well, I should get going. Need to find a job and all that.” I said walking to the door.

Before I left though I hugged Twilight, Rainbow, then Applejack. The three now carrying blushes. “If you ever need me or want to talk, give me a message and I'll be right there.” I told them before leaving the treebary. I breathed in the fresh air through my nostrils before exhaling and setting out to find a job.

‘This is not as easy as I thought it to be.’ I thought as I was once again rejected. Spa, nope. Mail, nope. Bakery, nope. Practically every job turned me down one way or another. As I was salking around town I had wandered into the market.

“Hey there sugarcube, any luck finding a job?” Applejack asked from my right. I sighed and told her of each of my turn downs. “Aw shucks sugarcube, sorry to hear about that. But hey, why don't you work with me on the farm? Ya may not be an Earth pony but ah think there are some jobs that you could do.” I perked up at that as I didn't really have any other choice.

“Sure, when do I start and what do you need done?” I asked with enthusiasm.

“Ya could help me pull the cart when ah finish up here. Then ah’ll introduce you to the rest of my family.” I agreed and started helping her sort the bits when ponies would bye apples. I was always a bit of a math geek when I was younger and counted out things to the very penny in my piggy bank. I once had $327.85 and most of it was quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies. Bits aren't any different. I had separated the bits into four bags. 1 bit coins, 5 bit coins, 10 bit coins, and 20 bit coins.

After all the apple products are sold Applejack found my system of bagging the bits to be more effective then placing it all in one big bag. By the end of selling all the apple products, I had counted out around 200, 1 bit coins. Around 250, 5 bit coins. Around 150, 10 bit coins. And around 50, 20 bit coins. Somewhere around 4000 bits, give or take a little. Just for apple products! I was sincerely amazed.

As I pulled the cart full of barrels and bit bags, Applejack told me about her family. “Big Mac is may big brother. He doesn't really talk too much, so don't be surprised if you don't hear much out of him. Granny Smith is my grandmother and is in charge of the financial part of the farm. Applebloom is still in school right now and will be home later.” I smiled and nodded. While walking I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I stopped and detached myself from the cart and pretense to take a breather.

Applejack was about to ask me when I silently told her to sit down next to me and play along. She was still confused but obliged. We pretended to fall asleep and we heard the sound of hooves approaching. Whoever it was they were trying to stay quiet. I waited until I heard the moving of the cart till I attacked. I sprang up and tackled the pony trying to steal from Applejack. I got Applejack’s rope and tied up the pony. When I backed away, it was a light blue pony with a silverish mane and tail that had a white strip going through it.

The cutie mark was a wand doing magic. “Untie Trixie right this moment!” She screamed.

“Trixie! Where yah trying to steal may profits from today!? Oh wait till ah turn you in to the gaurd.” Applejack exclaimed. Trixie became frightened and tried pleading and begging to let her go.

“Quiet!” I yelled at her, shutting her up. I pulled Applejack to the side and spoke to her. “We can't turn her in.” I told Applejack

“What!? But she just tried to rob me!” Applejack argued.

“Take a close look at her. You can see her ribs! She probably been going through a rough time and was trying to get some food. She was trying to get some bits so she can eat, she's probably starving. Please, Applejack. Let me watch over her and let her work on the farm to earn her food and her freedom. Until I deem it she can go free. Anything she does wrong can be blamed on me. Okay?”

Applejack seemed to fight for an objection but finally caved. “Oh alright. Trixie, Star here is going to watch over you from now on till he deems you can be let go. Until them you will work on the farm and work for your food. Understand?” Trixie nodded rapidly and thanked me.

“Trixie is forever grateful for this act of kindness towards Trixie.”

“Stop with the third person crap and talk like a normal pony. That talking in the third person will get annoying real fast.” She nodded and stopped. After I untied her she tried standing but her hind leg gave out. I caught her and helped her into the cart. When I tackled her I had accidentally twisted her hind leg.

“Hmm, you left hind leg is twisted, you'll need to stay off it for the day and it should be better by tomorrow.” I said as I hooked myself to the cart again and began pulling. I may or may not have used a weight reducing spell on the cart. Applejack looked at me and looked at my slightly straining muscles. I might have reduced the cart but not the storage. I could see the blush on her orange face and cute white freckles. Now that I take a real look at her. She's very cute and quite beautiful in a rustic kind of way. Her long golden mane. Cute Stetson hat. Those small white freckles.

‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the fuck are you thinking! She's an animal!’

‘So? She's an intellectual being. And I'm technically an animal now as well!’

‘Yeah, but still, if you ever went back to Earth and changed back into a human then you would be profiled with bestiality. Animal fucker.’

‘I don't care and we’re never going back! Even if it was an option. I like it here. Compared to my old life this has been going great! Sure I have Chaos Magic but Magic! Actual magic! No slight of hand, no smoke and mirrors, just real live magic! This defies everything as humans can understand. And if any other humans come here or a portal is made bye the humans with the wrong intentions, then I will use everything in my power to protect my new home. So you can take your petty arguments and shove them up your ass!’

I yelled at my concise. It was then I realized we were at the entrance. “Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres.” Applejack introduced. We walked through the gate and Applejack told me to leave the cart in the barn. I did so and put Trixie on my back. We went inside where Applejack led me to a room me and Trixie would be staying until I bought a house.

Problem was, there was only one bed. “Trixie, you take the bed, I'll sleep on the floor. Wouldn't be the first time I did so.” I told Trixie. She seemed surprised but knew if she argued then I wouldn't stop until she agreed.

“Okay, fine. But can we at least share it? I get cold at night easily.” Trixie lied. I knew she lied. Not only did I have the ability to tell if people are lying, her body language said as such as well. Blushing face, nervous smile, etc. I smiled and placed her on the bed. I covered her with the blanket and went to leave the room. “Wait!” Trixie called. I stopped and turned my head a little to look at her. “Tr-
wish to thank you. You have shown me a kindness I have not known for a long time.” She said blushing.

I smiled again and said. “Your welcome Trixie, now get some rest.” I closed the door behind me.
