I head back into the living room and see the two headed pony laid down on the couch talking to themselves.

"You two okay?" I ask.

"Yes, thank you." The purple half answers.

"T-Thank you...." The yellow half whimpers.

"It's fine don't worry about it. So.... Your name's Shy right? Why don't you tell me a little about yourself."

"I-I like.... Animals...." Shy mumbles.

"Really? Did you have any pets?" I ask.

"Y-Yes.... I had lots of pets. A-All of the animals of t-the woods." Shy answers with a smile.

"What was your favourite pet?"

"I-I had two.... Harry.... The bear.... And Angel the r-rabbit."

"A bear? That must have been an interesting pet."

Shy nods. I see Twi's smiling the whole time she's watching the conversation.

"Do you mind if I ask you a question?" Twi asks.

"Sure."

"What's your name? You know some stuff about us, I think it's only fair that we learn some stuff about you." Twi asks.

"Sure, my name's Tye."

"Tye? That's quite close to my name." Twi titters.

A bright flash like the one that happened when TwiShy arrived happens.

"Fuck! My eyes again!"

"Where am I?" A southern voice asks.

"What the fuck is going on? Why my house damnit!"

"Who's there?" The southern voice asks.

"AppleTreeJack! It's us! TwiShy!" Twi shouts.

"Girls? Can ya come over here and move me?"

"Twi, who's that?" I ask.

"It's AppleTreeJack. She's one of our friends. Let me bring her round and I'll introduce you to eachother." Twi says as they both head towards the southern voice.

"Right." Twi groans.

I can hear what sounds like a plant pot being dragged across the floor. After a few seconds an orange tree about 5 and a half feet tall comes into view. About 5 feet up the tree is a horse head attached to a hairy neck which itself is attached to the orange wood of the tree.

"Nice ta meet ya. Mah name's AppleTreeJack." The tree says to me.

The horse head on the tree gives off a friendly smile.

"Right.... Nice to meet you too....."

"So.... Where am I? Ah'm a might bit lost." AppleTreeJack asks.

"We're in Tye's house. It's on I'm Fucked In The Head Street in Send Helpsville." Twi explains as she points at me.

"So.... We're not in Equestria anymore?"

"Nope. We're here and I have no idea where here is either." Twi answers.

"Oh Tye. Do yer mind if I stand next to the window? I'm getting a bit hungry and I could do with a bit of light." AppleTreeJack asks.

"Sure, go for it." I answer.

TwiShy then drags AppleTreeJack to the window and face her horse head away from it and towards the room.

"Thank ya kindly. It feels weird but this sun is still tasty."

"Right...."

"H-Hi AppleTreeJack." Shy welcomes with a smile.

"Howdy Shy, how're ya doin'?" AppleTreejack asks.

"A-A little scared.... B-But other than that? I'm g-good."

"Glad ta hear that." AppleTreeJack smiles.

"Would anybody want something to drink?" I ask.

"No thanks." Twi answers.

"Y-Yes please." Shy mumbles.

"Ah could do with a good drink if ya don't mind." AppleTreeJack answers.

"What does everyone want?"

"Ah'll have some water please."
"I'll have water please." Twi and AppleJackTree answer simultaneously.

"Okay, give me a second I'll just go get you your drinks."

I head back into the kitchen and grab them both a glass of water. I then head back into the living room and give Twi her drink.

"Thank you." Twi smiles.

I smile back and head over to AppleJackTree.

"Can ya pour it into my pot? Ah would do it mahself but it'd probably slip through mah branches." She explains.

"Sure." I reply.

I bend over and start to pour the water onto the soil in her plant pot.

"Water's always so refereshing." AppleTreeJack sighs.

"Right.... So.... We need to talk about what you guys are gonna do. You guys wouldn't last five seconds out there. Things are different here, there's no trees with horse heads nor are there two headed horses." I explain.

"I'd hate to ask this but.... Can we stay here? Just until we can find out how to get back home?" Twi asks.

I see Shy cringe a little as Twi finishes her question.

"I.... I don't know.... It's going to be weird having you here.... But I can't just kick you out, especially with how the other people would react.... I.... I guess... Okay, you can stay. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night thinking about what they would do to you and how I'd cause it." I finish with a sigh.

"Thank you! I promise we'll cause as little trouble as possible."

I nod my head. Out of the corner of my eye I see a smile form on Shy's face.

"You guys make yourselves at home, AppleTreeJack you tell me what room you'd like to be in and I can move you there if you want, if you ever want to switch rooms just tell me and I'll move you." I explain.

"I'm fine where I am, thanks for tha offer." AppleTreeJack replies.

"Okay, well.... I don't have anything planned for today. Do you guys have any idea what we could do to pass the time?" I ask.

"Ah have an idea.... But Ah don't know if you'd like ta do it." AppleTreeJack answers.

"What's the idea?" I ask.

"Well. I need some help removing dead leaves. You guys could help me.... You know, to pass the time." AppleTreeJack explains.

"Sure.... I mean, it'd be easy for me because I'm taller then your tallest leaf so it'd be easy." I point out.

"Thank ya Tye. Are you girls going to help?" AppleTreeJack asks.

"Sure, we'll help." Twi answers as the two of them get up and walk towards AppleTreeJack.

Twi and Shy stop in front of AppleTreeJack, Twi just stares at AppleTreeJack.

"My magic isn't working." Twi says in a shocked tone.

"Really?" AppleTreeJack asks.

"Yeah!" Twi answers.

"Of course it doesn't.... Magic isn't real. At least here it isn't, I don't know about where you come from, but here magic isn't real." I explain.

"Sorry ATJ. We can't help then." Twi sighs.

"It's okay. I've got it, you two can look around the house and get used to it's layout while I help AppleTreeJack."

"If your sure Tye." Twi replies.

"Don't worry about. Now AppleTreeJack, do you mind if I call you ATJ? It's easier then calling you AppleTreeJack all the time." I ask.

"Sure ya can, I don't mind none." She answers.

I smile as I grab the first dead leaf I see.

"Now becareful, please don't pick the healthy leaves. it's hurts a ton if ya pick the wrong leaves." She explains.

"Sure, I'll be careful."

I pluck the dead leaf as gently as possible.

"Thanks for doin' this, it must be a weird thing ta do for somepony."

"It's weird I'm not going to lie, but it's fine. I don't helping with something like this." I reply.
