Getting Settled In

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Meanwhile, later that day, Twilight and her friends along with the party of 6 humans, had returned to Twilight's home after they had finally taken care of the pack of Timber Wolves at Ponyville's animal shelter. Dealing with the Timber Wolves was easy as they were still as playful and docile towards them as they had been the last time they had seen them.

Not one of the Timber Wolves so much as growled at them and it soon became apparent that their new, friendly and dog-like behavior was indeed permanent. This, of course, was a good thing for all of them since if this hadn't been the case, Twilight and her friends would've had to put them all down as the Princesses had told them to in order to prevent them from harming anymore ponies again and none of the ponies wanted to do that.

So instead, like last night, Ned had given all the Timber Wolves orders to follow, to which they all listened to him and obeyed. After being let out from the animal shelter, Ned commanded them to all go back into the forest where they belonged and for them to never hurt another pony or human again and that from now on, they are to only eat fruits and vegetables, which effectively made them herbivores! With that said, all the Timber Wolves went away and disappeared back into the thick trees and bushes of the Everfree Forest.

Originally, Twilight had intended to be the one to deal with the Timber Wolves, but last night, on their way to escorting the Timber Wolves to the animal shelter and having them temporarily locked up there, Twilight and her friend had all tried giving the Timber Wolves orders and attempted to get them to obey their orders, too, but to their surprise, the Timber Wolves just ignored them! But when Ned or any of the other humans spoke to the Timber Wolves, they were all attentive and compliant! "What the hay!?" Twilight and her friends had thought out loud in shock. "How come the Timber Wolves will obey the humans, but none of us!?" Twilight spoke.

Ned was thinking the same thing and as he took a seat next to Twilight, he told her that he was just as confused as to why the Timber Wolves would only listen to him and the others an not Twilight or any of her friends! Neither of them could exactly figure out the reason for this, but they did have their own theories as to why this was.

After awhile of sitting down at a table and sharing their each other's ideas and theories, Twilight and Ned both settled on one single theory to explain this. Twilight had told Ned that the forest that they had come from was called, The Everfree Forest' and that those woods were infamous to all the ponies and the rest of Equestria for being a place where all the plants and wildlife took care of themselves without any ponies controlling the weather there and maintaining the land and feeding and looking after all the animals and other creatures that inhabited the area!

From the way Twilight spoke about the Everfree Forest, it sounded like she and the other ponies were somewhat unsettled about that place. In fact, Ned and the other humans, including Eddie and Spike, who had finally come back downstairs, as well as a silent and slightly annoyed and bored Tony who had returned from his walk outside, all noticed the uneasy expressions on Twilight and her friends faces, which confirmed this. 'Hm. Why would these ponies be afraid of a place where nature is just doing its job and where they have little to no involvement with?' Ned thought to himself. 'Perhaps tomorrow, I'll ask Twilight about this."

Realizing that they were starting to go off topic, Ned then reminded Twilight about why they were discussing all this in the first place and instantly, Twilight and her friends all blushed in embarrassment as Twilight said, "Sorry about that. Now where was I?"

Twilight then remembered where she had left off and she told Ned that according to what she believes, that bag filled with all those Poison Joke flowers must've had special properties that significantly affected the Timber Wolves behavior, thus causing them to become the docile, wooden canines that they were now! And as for why, the Timber Wolves only obeyed Ned and his friends, both he and Twilight had a crazy idea that might explain that.

If what they were both thinking was true, then maybe Ned and the other humans had some kind of special influence on the Timber Wolves now that they had eaten the Poison Joke flowers and only them alone! As for why only they could this, Twilight and Ned couldn't think of anything else that could explain this.

However, by this point, Twilight already was much too excited with this amazing discovery about the 8 humans as well as the fact that they were immune to magic to continue searching for anymore answers to these questions! All Twilight wanted to do now was ask the 8 humans a million questions about them, their race and what their world was like as she pulled out and levitated a pencil and paper and right next to her with her magic and stood in front of Michael.

Applejack, though, knew what Twilight was planning and stopped her before she could bombard any of the 8 humans with many questions. "Uh, Twi! Let's not get carried away. Ya'll have plenty of time to ask the humans questions later and when you do, you should only ask them a few questions at a time. Nopony likes for another pony to just come up to them and just ask them a bunch of random questions for hours and hours! That wouldn't be okay," Applejack told Twilight, who soon realized that Applejack was right and agreed to wait until later to ask the humans anymore questions.

Suddenly, Twilight's stomach began to grumble and so did her friends, the 8 humans and Spike! It was only then that they all realized that they were starving!

Spike wasn't as hungry as everyone else as he had eaten a few large gems only a couple hours before Twilight and her friends had returned to Twilight's house with the 8 humans after they had all attended the funeral earlier that day so he was only hungry, but not starving! Everyone and everypony else on the other hand, hadn't eaten anything in awhile and were quite famished, especially the 8 humans, who hadn't eaten since the taco dinner that Claire made for them back at the log cabin on Earth before they ended up in Equestria!

Eating wasn't the only thing that they had neglected as they all also noticed that both Twilight and her friends and the 8 humans were exhausted, especially since they hadn't slept at all last night! For the 8 humans, they were even more tired as they had not only been for nearly 2 days now, but they had also got sent to another world, trekked through a dark and dangerous forest filled with all sorts of dangerous creatures and who knows what else, stood their ground against Twilight and her friends, gotten knocked out and captured, been interrogated by the princesses and the Elements Of Harmony, fought and defeated the Timber Wolves twice, went to a funeral, ordered the Timber Wolves to leave Ponyville and not harm another pony or human ever again and more!

Everyone and everypony soon decided that it was time to get something to eat before they all hit the hay. Fortunately, for Twilight, her friends, Spike and the 8 humans, with Twilight and Rarity's magic, they soon gathered all the supplies and ingredients that they needed and created enough food for all of them to have a little feast in Twilight's home!

The feast consisted of daisy sandwiches, hay fries, fruit, veggies, bread, lemonade, water, 30 gems (for Spike) and 3 of Pinkie Pie's famous pies for dessert! "There we go, everypony! Now, please dive in and help yourse-" Twilight didn't get a chance to finish her sentence as everypony and everyone else already got themselves seated down at a couple long tables and placed whatever they could on their plates as they all began to chow down!

Twilight quickly joined in and grabbed a daisy sandwich, some hayfries, an apple, a couple slices of bread and a glass of lemonade. Most of Twilight's friends got exactly the same things, while Spike only got a glass of lemonade and some gems to eat as gems were really the only thing that liked to eat at all. The ponies were pretty much eating almost everything else (except for the gems).

The group of 8 humans, however, hadn't so much as touched any of the daisy sandwiches or hayfries, for obvious reasons. But what they were really focusing on as they were stuffing their faces with fruit, veggies and bread and drinking lemonade and water was a pile of 30 precious gems that Spike was quickly devouring one at a time!

Just like the others, Michael couldn't believe what he was seeing! Right before them, there were real precious gems-and they were all being eaten by Spike as if they were nothing but a bunch of potato chips! Michael couldn't stand to see this and without thinking, he got out of his seat and grabbed Spike to prevent him from consuming anymore of the precious gems!

"Stop that!" Michael yelled at Spike as he grabbed him and forced him to let go of the valuable Ruby that he had in his left dragon claw that he was about to eat next.

"Hey! What was that for!?" Spike demanded, a bit angry that the strong human had suddenly just grabbed him and forced him away from that Ruby and the other gems that he wanted to eat.

"Dude! You're eating rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and other gems!" Michael replied.

"So. That's what me and all dragons eat," Spike answered.

"Now, Michael, if you're trying to tell us that you want to eat some of those gems, too, there's still plenty to go around," Rarity said.

"I don't know about that, Rarity. I don't think humans can eat gems," Twilight spoke.

"Whoa! Hold on! Who said that I want to eat them?" Michael told Rarity and Twilight. "Even if I could, why would I want to eat and destroy such perfect and precious gems like those!?"

Twilight, her friends and Spike were surprised by Michael's response as they hadn't been expecting them to say that. "Easy there, sugarcube! What do you mean about that? They're just gems! We ponies have lots of them!" Applejack revealed.

"Yeah, Michael! I may not be an egghead like Twilight, but I know just as well as everypony else that gems are very common and easy to come by!" Rainbow Dash chimed in.

"Are you kidding!?" John shouted. "Back on our world, the chances of us coming across those kinds of gems is like trying to win the lottery!"

"All you need, darling, is to use a simple 'Gem Detection' spell," Rarity stated. "By the way, if you aren't gonna eat those gems, then why are you so interested in them in the first place?"

"Do you even know how valuable those gems are!?" Alice asked Rarity and the rest of the Elements Of Harmony.

"They're worth only a few bits at most. I don't see what the big deal is!" Rarity admitted.

"Maybe to you, they aren't worth that much, but for us, those gems could make us rich!" Gary said.

"And why is that?" Fluttershy asked.

"Like we said, those gems are valuable!" Claire spoke. "But I don't think I'm the one who can tell you exactly how much all those gems are worth. Hey, Ned! Can you explain to these ponies about why does gems mean so much to us?"

"Of course, I can! I ain't one of the smartest and best students in our college for nothing!" Ned replied. "Now, let's see!"

Ned then carefully studied all the remaining gems that Spike hadn't eaten (which was now only 12) before he faced everyone and everypony and said, "If I'm correct, then with all these gems put together, they're worth at least 100 grand!"

"See what we mean?" John told Twilight, Spike and the rest of the ponies.

Twilight, and her friends as well as Spike, didn't know what a grand is and they know were a bit confused. "Uh, what's a grand?" Twilight asked.

John facepalmed as he couldn't believe that Twilight, Spike and the other ponies hadn't heard of the word 'grand' before, when it cam to money. "Alright. Let's put it this way," Ned explained. "Let's say that each bit, which is the kind of money that you use, is worth a dollar, which is the name of the currency we use back in America on our world. Pretend that 1,000 bits is worth 1,000 dollars on our world. Now, imagine that you have 1,000 bits. If you have a thousand bits, that means you have one grand! One grand equals a thousand bits or in our case, a thousand dollars!"

"Wait! You mean those gems are actually worth a fortune back where you come from!?" Twilight demanded. "But why!?"

"Simple, Twilight! We don't have magic, so we can't just use any Gem Detection spells to find them like you, Rarity and other ponies can!" Michael pointed out.

"I guess you're right about that, Michael," Twilight admitted. "Without magic, it would indeed be quite difficult to find these kind of gems anywhere!"

"Well, if these gems are so valuable to you and your friends, I guess we can share any extra gems that we don't need or want with you," Rarity offered.

"As long as none of these gems are the ones I'm gonna eat, I guess I can be good with that," Spike agreed, even though he hated the thought of having to give up some nice and delicious gems to the humans.

"That sounds fair enough," Gary also agreed.

"When I get back home, I'm gonna use my share to buy more cigarettes, beer and open a nightclub!" Tony announced. "Maybe I'll even buy the Coco-Cola Company, too, while I'm at it!"

"So you like Coco-Cola, too?" Michael asked Tony.

"Next to beer and cigarettes, I do. I love that soda so much that I've sometimes bought 24-packs at the store and whenever I do, I drink a couple cans of those a day instead of smoking or having beer instead. It's the only other thing that I fucking like as much as smoking and drinking beer!" Tony revealed. "But when I get back home and I buy the entire Coca-Cola Company, I'm gonna rename that great soda after me! I'll call it, 'Tony-Cola'!"

Michael and Ned rolled their eyes, knowing where Tony's idea was going. However, they did find the concept of the popular soda being named after Tony very hilarious.

A little while later, everyone and everypony had eaten until they were stuffed and content. With their previously growling stomachs all satisfied, it was time for everyone to go to bed.

Some of the ponies and humans didn't want to go to sleep, though without brushing their teeth first. These ponies and humans were Twilight, Ned, Fluttershy, Alice and Claire.

Unfortunately, while Twilight had toothpaste in the bathroom downstairs, only Twilight, Fluttershy, and Ned had toothbrushes to use. Ned had packed his own toothbrush and toothpaste with him before he went to spent 3 days at that log cabin back on Earth with the others and again before he went out with the others to investigate that bright light, which would lead them to that strange, glowing, floating orb that somehow sent them to Equestria in the first place. Fluttershy also had a toothbrush on her as like Twilight, she also took personal hygiene seriously and always brushed her teeth everyday.

Fortunately, for Alice and Claire, Twilight had spare, new and unused toothbrushes and toothpaste that they could both use. In fact, it turns out, Twilight had at least 10 more spare and brand new toothbrushes and toothbrushes underneath the sink in her bathroom. The reason for this was because Twilight often invited her friends over for slumber parties and Twilight always like to have spare toothbrushes and toothpaste at her home in case her friends forgot to bring their own and Twilight being Twilight, wanted to be a good host and make sure all her friends were happy and comfortable whenever they slept over at her house.

Alice and Claire thanked Twilight for her kindness and generousity before they went into the bathroom first, grabbed two of the spare toothbrushes and toothpastes tubes from under the sink and quickly brushed their teeth until their teeth were clean and their breath was fresh. After they were finished, Ned went in next, then after him, it was Fluttershy's turn, and lastly, it was Twilight's turn.

After they had all brushed their teeth, they went back to the others and then realized that they hadn't figured out where everyone was gonna sleep yet. The only bed in Twilight's house were hers and Spike's, but that's it. Sure some of the humans and Twilight's friends could sleep on the couches, the chairs and even the floor, but Twilight wanted them to all sleep as comfy as she and Spike did in their beds so she wasn't gonna let that happen.

Twilight then opened a storage closet and she showed everyone and everypony the 16 sleeping bags and pillows and levitated 13 of them over to her friends and the 8 humans. Like personal hygiene supplies, Twilight also kept plenty of sleeping bags and pillows for other ponies like her friends for when she had other ponies staying at her place overnight, too, as well. Afterall, you gotta be prepared for anything.

Twilight's friends and the 8 humans all thanked Twilight again for her kindness and generousity before they all set up their sleeping bags and pillows, got into their sleeping bags and rested their heads down on their pillows. "Goodnight, Eddie!" Gary told his brother as he began to fall asleep.

"Goodnight, Gary!" Eddie told his older brother as he, too, drifted off to sleep.

"Oh, shut up already! No more talking! I wanna get at least 10 hours of straight sleep without being woken up, so either shut the fuck up or I'll rip your lips off your faces!" Tony threatened in an angry and very rude voice.

Everyone and everypony was too tired now to care about how mean Tony was being so they just ignored him and stayed silent until they all slowly fell asleep. It wasn't too early to go to bed as it was almost 10:00pm and the dark, moonlit sky now shined over Ponyville and the rest of Equestria.


In the meantime, at Equestria's National News capital building in Canterlot, Newsflash had finally gotten all the photos that he had taken developed and now he was in his boss's office after he had requested that his boss see him in private as soon as he could. Newsflash's boss was a gray Earth Pony stallion who wore a fancy, blue business suit with a black mane and black moustache and an image of a newspaper that read, 'Breaking News' on both sides of his flanks. This was why he and everypony called him, 'Breaking News'.

Right now, though, Newsflash's boss was in a grumpy mood towards Newsflash since it was starting to get late, and he was tired and wanted to get home. Big News had reminded Newsflash that as Equestria's National news capital, the place was open 24-hours a day and that if he had something important he wanted to share, he should share it with the company's other boss, EyeWitness who did the night-shift and would come to relieve Breaking News of his post in another half hour.

Newsflash, however, had insisted that he speak with Breaking News now. Newsflash didn't want to wait another 30 minutes to share his story with the company as along the way and before, during and after Newsflash had gotten the photos developed and headed to the Equestria National News capital building, NewsFlash had just barely evaded some other curious newsponies, who had seen him look very suspicious and sneaky on his way over to the office and NewsFlash had to keep avoiding them or he knew that they would ask to see what he was carrying in his saddlebag and NewsFlash didn't want to risk them seeing all the pictures of the humans he had taken and all the notes he had written about everything he had heard, seen and witnessed while he was in Ponyville. NewsFlash knew that if other newsponies found out about the humans and reported it to his boss before he could, they would take the credit and all the bits for themselves and he would be back to square one! NewsFlash wasn't gonna let that happen!

After a minute of begging non-stop, Newsflash's boss finally gave up and agreed to hear whatever he had to say as he led him into his office and Breaking News sat at his desk while NewsFlash sat right across from him. "Whatever this is all about, NewsFlash, it had better be good! Otherwise, you can kiss your job here goodbye!" Breaking News warned.

"Oh, trust me, boss! I'm not!" NewsFlash replied. "After 5 years, I've finally found a real story that is gonna make the front page for sure!"

"For your sake, you had better be right! Now, enough talk!" Breaking News yelled. "Words alone mean nothing! You better have some pictures and other proof to support whatever stupid story you're about to tell me!"

"Well, this stupid story is gonna be the biggest story Equestria's ever had in years!" NewsFlash shot back as he opened his saddled bag and levitated all the pictures he had taken of the 8 humans in Ponyville along with all the notes he had written down out of it and placed it all on top of his boss's desk.

Breaking News started to slowly and carefully study all the pictures and notes that NewsFlash had taken and wrote and the more he looked at them, the more his angry and annoyed expression disappeared and was replaced with one of slight fear, confusion and amazement. "What the hay!?" Breaking News cried out in shock, having a hard time believing what he was seeing and reading about with his two eyes!

After 5 minutes of silence, Breaking News slowly took his eyes off all the pictures and written notes and faced NewsFlash again and asked, "Do you know what these things are called?"

"They called themselves humans, boss," NewsFlash answered.

"What about where they came from?" Breaking news asked.

"Thanks to a special spell, I overheard them mentioning to the Princesses and the Elements Of Harmony that they are aliens from another world called, 'Earth'!" NewsFlash replied.

"And their names?" Breaking News demanded.

"Their names are John, Gary, Michael, Ned, Alice, Claire, Tony and Eddie," NewsFlash replied.

"And what about this?" Breaking News asked as he held up a couple pictures of the 8 humans, facing and defeating the giant Timber Wolf and befriending the Timber Wolf pack.

"Apparently, the human called, 'Ned' had been carrying around a plastic bag filled with Poison joke with him and he tossed it into the giant Timber Wolf's mouth! It then choked on it for a bit before it fell apart and separated back into the Timber Wolf pack and the next thing anypony knows, all the Timber Wolves' eyes change from green to blue and they're acting like docile and tame dogs towards all the humans!" NewsFlash informed his boss.

"Are you serious!?" Breaking News demanded.

"It gets even crazier than that, boss!" NewsFlash spoke. "Not only had all the Timber Wolves become friendly and harmless, but when some of the humans told the Timber Wolves to do some things, they all listened and obeyed them!"

"What!?" Breaking News yelled in shock and disbelief.

"It's true!" NewsFlash told Breaking News. "And later, I noticed that none of the Elements Of Harmony could make the Timber Wolves do anything and that the Timber Wolves just seemed to completely ignore them! The humans, on the other hoof, were a different story! Whenever they gave them an order they would always listen to them! And whatever they told the Timber Wolves to do, they would always do it no matter what it was!"

Breaking News then turned his chair around to face away from NewsFlash. "This is insane! This is unbelievable! This is impossible!" Breaking News yelled.

NewsFlash didn't like how his boss was talking and he was beginning to fear that his boss didn't believe him or the story and evidence that he had just presented to him and who could blame him! NewsFlash was still having a hard time believing all this, even though he had seen, heard and witnessed it all himself!

Suddenly, Newsflash's boss turned his chair back around to face him again and now Breaking News had a very serious expression on his face. "This whole thing is...is...is..." Breaking News trailed off.

"Is a bunch of nonsense and a complete waste of your time!" NewsFlash guessed the rest of his sentence.

"This is... exciting, NewsFlash!" Breaking News finished.

"Wait! Really!?" NewsFlash asked, beginning to become very excited about receiving his long-overdue and hard-earned bag of bits that he deserved.

"Yes! Really!" Breaking News replied. "This is exactly what we need to bring more even more publicity to this company and make more and more ponies buy and read our newspapers!"

"I'm glad to hear that!" NewsFlash replied.

"Alright. So how much for all these pictures you took and notes that you've wrote?" Breaking News asked.

NewsFlash then went over to his boss and whispered how much he wanted his boss to pay him for all the pictures and notes in his right ear.

"What!?" Breaking News yelled.

"You heard me! That's how much you have to pay me in exchange for all these photos and notes!" NewsFlash told Breaking News.

"That's ridiculous! You want me to pay you 500 bits for each picture and 150 bits for each one of your notes!" Breaking News spoke. "No deal!"

"That's my price and I won't accept anything lower than it! I went through a lot of trouble to get these pictures and make those notes and big news like that is something that is something that you aren't gonna get from me cheap!" NewsFlash told his boss. "Now, either pay me the bits that I want or I can just quit and take my exciting over to this company's biggest rival, Equestria Times! I hear they'll pay real big bits for anypony who can give them the story of the century!"

"Fine! Fine! You win! I'll give you what you want!" Breaking News spoke as he admitted defeat and then placed a big bag of bits the size of a basketball on his desk and gave it to NewsFlash, who in exchange, gave his boss all the photos and notes that he had.

Having succeeded in his quest and having gotten what he had come for, NewsFlash opened the door that led out of his boss's office before he turned back to face him one more time and said, "I's been a pleasure doing business with you!"

After NewsFlash left and Breaking news got over his slight annoyance and hatred towards NewsFlash, he regained his composure before he became serious again, stepped out of his office and went over to his secretary. His secretary quickly noticed him and before she could say anything, Breaking News ordered her, "Get everypony here ready! We just got another new story and it's time for all of Equestria to know of what has occurred in Ponyville in the last couple days!"
