To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

4 hours later

After their arrival in The Village of Harmony, the visitors, got a brief tour. Spike will leave tomorrow.

Abdulia shows us to our room.

"Wow! It looks so nice!" Derpy says.

"Meh, I've seen better." Spike says.

"She's perfect." I say.

Spike and Derpy look at me.

"I mean, it's perfect! Heh." I say.

Spike sighs, then says "I miss Twilight. Oh, sorry, Arthur. What I really meant was, I miss Pinkie's cupcakes. Too bad we have to stay here."

"Yeah I feel you, Spike. I wonder why ponies jump to conclusions so much." Derpy says.

I say "Why did they think I was the bad guy? I tried to warn them."

"HRMPH!" Spike gags.

"Eww, Spike! Go to the bathroom!" Derpy says.

Spike shakes his head, then burps.

Fire and a letter comes out of his mouth.

"Whoa! Jeez, Spike, you couldn't warn-. Wait. What is that?" I say.

"It's a letter." Derpy says.

Me and Derpy look at Spike.

Spike opens the envelope, then pulls out a letter.

He begins reading it. "Dear Arthur,

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.

There are rumors, some ponies are saying he is entering their dreams.

We tried to stop Nexus but, it seems that we aren't connected to the Elements anymore.

Nexus disappeared with Starlight.

Please stop Nexus, and please take care of Spike.

-Twilight Sparkle"

"There's more." Spike says.

He continues to read the letter "Dear Derpy,

I really hope you are safe.

The Lab is so quiet without you.

When you said you had to go, I didn't want to object.

When I was younger, I always wanted to adventure. I even wanted to travel through time.
Real life got me down.

I don’t want that to happen to you.

Sincerely, The Doc."

"Aww. I didn't peg him to be sentimental." Derpy says.

"Oh, there's more." Spike says.

He continues "Hey Arthur,

what did you get yourself into this time?

Just kidding, Twilight told us the whole thing.
Come on, we can back you up.

You can't break up The Crew.

Our last job is the thing that brought us here anyway.

Just promise us that we will do one last job before you retire.

Peace.
-Potato"

"The Crew? Your last job? Who are you?" Derpy says.

“You didn’t tell her?” Spike asks.

I sigh, then I say "I was hoping my past wouldn't catch up to me. I was a professional criminal, back in my world. Don't worry, I'm retired. Anyway, our last job went wrong and somehow me and my friends ended up here."

"What happened?" Derpy asks.

I say "I'll start from the beginning. Me and my family were having money problems.

My mom says "Arthur! Come here!"

I run down the stairs to see my mom holding a piece of paper.

"You need to pay Aro!" My mom says.

I grab the paper from her, then start reading it.

"I need help." I say.
