I prayed to the Lord above that Pinkie Pie won't find me and throw a party for my arrival. She didn't find me and do that yesterday, so I had high hopes that my incognito mode would help me.

At least I survived a day without Pinkie.

She found me.

I woke up to a "Hey! Whoareyou? OhIrememberyoufromyesterdayboywereyouatrickyfoaltofindbutnowIfoundyouandit'stimetogiveyouawelcomingpartyPinkiePieStylesoc'mon! Let's go!" She grabbed my hoof and dragged me out of my bed. Jesus she had a strong hoof. I know she had 4th wall breaking powers (she interrupted my thoughts with a "It's called the Pinkie Sense, silly!" Jesus, she even knows she's in a fic. "Of course, silly! How could I not? You can't write me good!" Yea, you right.), but the power she had... Thank god I had my bracers on, otherwise my legs would've been ripped off. In a few seconds, we made it to Sugar Cube Corner. Damn it. Well, I can't turn back now. I'm wearing the robe from yesterday, minus the hat. I racked my brain for a fake name to tell the Mane 6. They didn't see my face, did they? I hoped not.

Pinkie dropped me off, and everyone was saying stuff like "Hi there!" and "Hello!" and all that nice shit. I stood there, awkwardly, shaking hooves, until the moment when every Brony ever wants to have: meeting the Mane 6 in person. I was uber-nervous, solely for if they remember me. I gulped, and, obviously nervous, said "H-Hi there!"

The Mane 6 looked at me, and Twilight said "Hello there! My name's-"

"Twilight Sparkle, correct?" She clearly didn't see my face. Only Pinkie did. My voice was also different from yesterday, having my Latino accent that doesn't exist, so I can hide the identity.

"Y-Yes. How'd you know?"

"How can I not? You saved the world half a dozen times or something!" I had genuine happiness in my voice. I'm meeting the ponies I've been a fan of for about a year after I watched the Nightmare Night animation by BDP.

"Finally, somepony noticed!" Rainbow was very happy with my happiness. I smiled and chuckled to myself. Good ol' Dashie.

Pinkie remained silent about yesterday, thankfully. I should talk to her about what I can do to repay her for keeping yesterday's events and my identity of yesterday a secret.

We talked for a while, and the moment Rarity took a good look at me, she said "Sweet Celestia, why do you look like that?!"

"Ah. That. I was dragged out of bed. I woke up like 14 minutes ago or something." I smiled slightly, knowing full well what's about to happen. She did. I wasn't listening much, but I heard about my hoodie I was in and how she'd change it to better suit me. Something about "...a suit for a pony from Prance." I'm technically from Spain, but I couldn't find a pun for Spain. I'll look at it from a map later.

After the party, Rarity asked me to follow her, so I did. The others followed us to see who I am. She removed my robe, and they finally saw who I am. Side note: I never go to sleep without a blade, so seeing a kitchen knife on me in a holster gave both me and the girls a little scare, but I removed it and placed it far away from us. You already know what I look like in the past, but I neglected to mention my cutie mark. It's... special, to say the least. A microphone head connected to a red tube with a "DANGER: FLAMMABLE" symbol, which has a knife end pointing out, and the knife-container-mike thing is drawing a dark-blue line on my flank. Like I said, special.

"Say, what's your name?" Rarity asked. I was scared. I quickly thought of a name, but before I could speak, Twilight got mail from Celestia via Spike. I was lucky.

Twilight read the letter she received. "Girls... It looks like the Princesses are coming to Ponyville in a few minutes. They said that they have some information on the pony we met yesterday." I looked at Pinkie, and she looked back at me. She then signaled that her lips are sealed, and I smiled back. "We should prepare for their return to Ponyville."

At this point, I looked back and saw Rarity doing some touch-ups on the white-and-red robe I wore. A few gems here and there, along with a simple bow tie and a pop-able collar. I really like how somehow Rarity knew I like simplistic but fashionable. Thumbs up to her! Even though I don't have thumbs...

After paying Rarity (I transferred 4 gram of silver for 96 bits, silver's expensive) 60 bits, I put on the new hood (It felt comfortable and good) and went with the rest of the girls to meet Celestia and Luna. 'Tia has already met me at this point, but Imma play dumb. See how well that works. It's about 10:00 A.M. at this point. I wonder what they're thinking about...

"Hey, you didn't say your name. What was it?"

"Nitrogen," I said, internally slapping myself in the face, knowing my name will be easily tracked. N, the 7th element, known as Nitrogen, or Nitro in short. Nitrologenious is just a fucking stupid name. I hate myself now.

Starlight and Spike returned to the castle, noting the sudden tensing of the new guy. Nitro, along with the Mane 6, walk towards the Town Hall. At the restaurant in Ponyville, 5 ponies are sitting there. Three in one table, and two in another. The two are Celestial Royal Guards, stationed there in case the Princess appears, and are in the middle of having a drink. The three other ponies are a special cast. Two of them are twins, who are blank flanks. And the last one is a geologist with an Easter Island Head as a cutie mark. The twins have an inverted color pallet (The pegasus' mane color is the unicorn's coat color, and vice versa), and the geologist earth pony has a simple grey coat with a [color=#]deep blue mane tied up into a ponytail.

The guards notice Celestia's chariot in the distance, so they just pay, grab their spears, and run. The trio of ponies still sitting there notice this, pay for their food, and run with the guards to see what the commotion is all about. These characters are important. I promise.

Princess Luna Selene

As we wait for the chariot to land, I take a look out towards the ground. I spot young Twilight and her friends, with Nitro following. He must know we're coming, and we know my sister met him last night (much to my warnings not to), yet he's still coming. I also heard that Discord should make an appearance, so I'm wondering what is up with that.

We land, and see the guards we stationed here arrive and stand at attention. I don't know why Sister would do this, but okay. Twilight and her friends bow, and we bow back.

Twilight speaks up with "Princess, you wished to speak to us about the pony we met yesterday? The pony you mentioned in your letter sounds very much like the one we met in the Everfree."

I look over to Nitro. He is looking at Celestia with a slightly scared expression, before noticing that I'm looking at him. He looks away, with what little I can detect of a blush on his face. It's more pink than a normal blush, but that's probably just because of his coat.

"Yes. Say, who's this pony here?" Nitro visibly gulps.

"Oh, him? His name's Nitrogen." I can't believe no pony notices that "Nitrogen" is Nitro. Then again, I know what he looks like from his dreams.

"May I speak to Nitrogen in private?" I ask.

"Uhm, sure." Twilight clearly has some reservation.

When Nitro and I are quite a large distance from the others, I hiss into his ear "What are you doing here, Nitro?"

"Pinkie Pie" was his only response.

"Oh. But you do know that my sister is quite angry for last night?"

"Yeah, I can tell she's pissed. But it's not like I care." He is clearly saying that to seem tough. "Besides, clearly you aren't here just for me."

He was right. We were also here to check up on Discord. Speaking of Dis-

"Was someone thinking of me?"
