As the 2 humans and cyan pegasus made their way upstairs. They were greeted by the purple unicorn who was levitating bandages and some other medical supplies for Callum. Ashley took the equipment. Placing the gauss on the blood soaked area after he cleaned the wound before wrapping the bandage around Callum's head a couple of times before tying the end off.

The 4 of them took seats in the front room and took turns asking questions about each others species and a few laughs were shared. After a near fight between Callum and Rainbow Dash which was broken up by Twilight holding the pegasus back with her magic and Ashley holding back his friend before they settled their differences. Rainbow Dash decided to head home around half an hour after that.

"This night has been eventful" Ashley laughed. Causing the lavender mare to give off a small giggle and Callum a smile.

"But here comes a tricky part. Where will we sleep?" Callum asked

"Well, you could sleep on this floor with a few pillows and a couple of blankets? I think that our beds were made not to fit your species size in mind" Twilight replied.

Callum shugged "I've slept on worse"

"I think I'm going to go for a walk..." Ashley said as he made his way to the door. Except Twilight put herself between him and the door

"But what if somepony was to see you? What would you do then?" she questioned

"Like I care. What's the worst that could happen?" he kneeled himself down to Twilight's hieght.

"You could be reported to the local guard and be taken away and they will most likely inform Princess Celestia..." she said as she took a step back

Callum gave a small laugh in the background, grabbing attention of Ashley and Twilight "If those guards were to try and chase down Ashley. One, they would be walking into a slaughter and two, Ashley is quite a fast runner and very agile so he would get away quite easily"

Twilight looked up to Ashley "Would you attack the guard?"

Ashley was silent for a moment. Thinking of what to say next

"Yes...Only if they draw first blood"

"First blood?" The unicorn asked

"Basically, Ashley will not do anything harmful unless they hurt him or anyone he cares about first. It's this whole honour thing. I blame Nathan for this" Answered Callum

"Nathan?"

"Another one of my close friends, liked to collect weapons like swords and liked to practice fighting moves as self defence. He taught me quite alot"

Ashley turned his head to Twilight and nodded. He noticed she wouldn't budge when it came to leaving but he noticed her horn started to glow. Ashley saw this as her warning and walked over to the window and opened it slightly to let the cool air in "Fine I'll stay for tonight"

"Good" Twilight smiled. Her horn ceased glowing as she made her way up the stairs to retrieve the pillows and blankets

"So..." said Ashley "What do you think will happen later?"

"Well...hopefully going outside would be a breakthrough" Callum joked "But in all seriousness, I would like to check out the town. Meet the locals, see if this town has anything for us to do. I might try out for the local authority"

"Sounds like a plan but why do you want to be like one of those gaurds?"

"Because since we are no longer in the army. Why not use what we know on the battlefield into protecting the innocent here?"

"Good thinking...but being a guard will be boring for my tastes" Ashley smiled

"Guess we could try out a few things here before we decide what we are going to do"

"Yeah. Hey guess what" Ashley walked over Callum

"What?" Callum questioned

"Since we are no longer in the army...No more having to wake up early" a wide smile grew on Ashley's face

Callum gave a smile "Awww yeah!" he high fived his best friend before taking a seat on the wooden floor. Ashley done the same

Twilight could barely hear what the humans were saying. In fact, all she heard was one of them saying "Awww yeah!". She found the spare blankets and pillows and decended down the stairs into the front room. Both humans watched as she levitated the objects infront of them, giving her a heartwarming smile "Thanks" they both said in unison

"Why do you two keep doing that?" she questioned

"Doing what" they replied in unison

"Saying the same thing at the same time"

Both humans looked at each other before looking back at the unicorn

"Well, when your as close as we are and have known each other for practically your whole life then you--" said Callum

"By close do you mean..." Twilight interupted, her cheeks turning slightly red

"That depends" said Callum "what do YOU think?"

Twilight choked, She sat on her haunches. She sat in silence for around 20 seconds. She built up the courage to say "Do you two have homosexual feelings to one another?"

Both humans looked at each other. Sitting in silence before breaking into hysteric laughter. Ashley fell onto his back and rolled around, holding his stomach giggling. While Callum hand a hand to his face, trying to hide his laughter but he couldn't stop the sound. Twilight felt so embarrassed. It took the humans a good couple of minutes to stop laughing

"Whew" Said Ashley "Haven't had a laugh like that in a while"

"Same here"

"The amount of times we have been asked if we were gay"

"Ridiculous, I know"

Twilight was confused "So you don't have those feelings?"

"Nah" Ashley gave Twilight a smile "We are just very close friends. Brother from another mother if you will"

Twilight tilted her head in her state of confusion "But if you don't have the same mother then you are not brothers..."

"We know. It's a figure of speech to say that we are so close to each other that we look out for each other as if we are brothers" said Callum

"Ah. Okay then" Twilight responded before yawning "i'm going to bed. See you two in the morning"

"Goodnight" the humans said in unison. Twilight made her way to her room, using one of her back legs to close the door as she entered. She then dropped onto her bed, adjusting herself into a comfortable position before using her magic to lift the blanket over herself.

Callum moved his pillows next to Twilight's bookshelf and put one of the blankets ontop of himself. Drifting off into sleep almost instantly. Ashley walked over to the open window to look at the night sky. The stars were shining brightly but were put aside due to the moon was breathtaking to look at.

"Why" Ashley thought to himself "Why is everything so familiar?"

Ashley stood at the window for the entire night, not getting any sleep at all. He watched the beautiful moon slowly descend out of view to be replaced by the bright sun. He heard a door open upstairs followed by the sound of hooves descending the wooden stair case to the front room.

Twilight still had her bed mane as she made her way down the stairs and saw Ashley looking out the window

"Did you sleep well?" she asked

Ashley turned his attention to Twilight. He was still wide awake, his body felt well rested even though he didn't sleep

"Sleep is for the weak" he responded with a smile

"Were you up for the entire night?"

"Yes. But don't stress about it. My body is capable of atleast 1 week without sleep. Trust me since I have done this quite a few times"

Twilight shrugged, she looked around to see Callum still asleep before making her way into the kitchen. Ashley decided to continue looking out the window

"Would you like some breakfast" yelled Twilight but not loud enough to wake Callum.

Ashley made his way to the kitchen "If you're offerin', what do you have in mind?"

"Well...I was going to have some oatmeal with some fruit. What would you like?" responded Twilight

"Do you have any pancakes?"

Twilight shook her head in disagreement "only the ingredients to make them. I don't know the recipe though"

"Oh that's no worry. Cooking used to be a small hobby of mine when I was younger and I loved to make pancakes. How about I make some for all of us?" Ashley asked, his eyes were gleaming for approval

"Well...okay then..." smiled Twilight

Ashley gave off a wide smile but it disappeared when Twilight continued what she was going to say

"But, you will have to clean up all your mess"

"I wouldn't have it any other way. I could do some other chores if you want, seems like the only current way I can repay you for your hospitality"

"I'd like that" Twilight nodded with a smile.

Ashley set his plan in motion. Grabbing the needed ingredients along with some strawberries, lemons and apples which Twilight shown him to. It took a few minutes for him to get the batter ready. He turned on the stove and put a small circle of batter onto a frying pan. The batter sizzled as it hit the hot metallic surface of the pan. It wasnt long before he already made a stack of pancakes for Twilight and started on the next batch. The smell of freshly cooked pancakes filled the room and made it's way to the front room as well.

Callum suddenly woke up, taking in a long sniff of the air "I smell pancakes..." he made his way to the kitchen to see Ashley walking over to the table with a stack of pancakes on a plate. Twilight didn't start eating as she thought it would be best if they all sat and ate together. Callum took a seat and reached for a pancake only for the back of his hand to be slapped away from Ashley

"You can wait a bit longer until I have yours done" Ashley gave a small smile before going back to the stove to make the final batch

"You are going to love these. Ashley makes some pretty good pancakes" Callum said to Twilight

"We will just have to see if they can beat Sugarcube Corner's pancakes" She responded with a smile.

Ashley brought the last batch of pancakes and eating utensils and set them on the table. He also brought a small bag of sugar and the fruit and set them down as well before taking a seat.

"Lets dig in shall we?" Callum asked.

Ashley responded with a nod before taking out his knife to cut a lemon in half and giving one half to Callum. Twilight watched the humans as they squeezed the lemons onto their pancakes followed by the sprinkling of sugar

"What are you doing?" she asked

"You never tried this combo before?" Ashley asked Twilight who shook her head in disagreement "Don't knock it if you haven't tried it" He sliced another lemon in half and put both halves next to her plate of pancakes. Twilight levitated one of the lemon halves and squeezed it. The lemon juice landed on her pancakes as she then levitated the sugar and sprinkled it onto them. she looked back at Callum who was wolfing down his breakfast before looking at Ashley who was watching her with amusement

"Go ahead, try it" He said with a smile

Twilight levitated a knife and fork and sliced a small portion of the coated pancake before using her levitation magic on the fork to pick up the sliced pancake and put it into her mouth. The sourness of the lemon was noticeable but was mild due to the sweetness of the sugar. The pancake itself was fluffy and light. They were just as Sugarcube Corner's if not better.

"Well?" Ashley asked as he put some of his pancake into his mouth

"It's amazing!" She shouted before levitating some strawberries and apple slices onto her breakfast. Callum was almost finished with his as Ashley decided to savour every bite of his creation.

When they all finished breakfast, Ashley proceeded to wash all the equipment he used in the sink before wiping the counter tops down and the table aswell. He even dried the equipment and put it all away in their respectable places

"If you liked those. Prepare for when I make my moms triple chocolate muffins with a small surprise" Ashley gave a heartwarming smile to Twilight who gave one back.

"Well, Ditzy Doo is a very big fan of muffins so i'm sure she would like to try them sometime" she said

"Ditzy Doo eh? Well when I make them, you must tell her to come here and try them then. Now, what are we going to be doing today?" Ashley asked which also grabbed Callum's attention

"Well..." Twilight answered "How about I bring some of my friends over to meet you two?"

"Perfect" Both humans said in unison...

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. I have been very very busy this week and did not have much time to start on this chapter. It didn't help that this chapter specifically was banned from my access at my school so I couldn't update it. Anyways, I should be able to upload more chapters in the next couple of days hopefully. Again I thank you all for reading this story so far as much as I enjoy writing it.
