Next day early in the morning

William woke up no longer feeling stiff and without any headache causing him to smile

My second day in Equestria well it's still pretty early he thought as he looked outside and noticed it was still dark

He smiles as he leaves his bedroom still in his PJ's which were a dark blue with many Stars on them as he headed out his bedroom he noticed the guest bedroom Rainbow was in was wide open and noticed the blue Pegasus sleeping with a Indiana Jones comic on her face and no blankets covering her this caused William to giggle

William stepped to the guest room and cleaned up the comic's his guest left around but made sure the one that was on her face was still on the same page on the night stand next to her bed before tucking her in.

Cute he thought as he looked at her before heading out of the room to grab a folding chair and his machete.

He noticed the Pegasus did leave a little mess after reading a lot of the comic's in the living room as well and just smiled as he cleaned it up.

After cleaning up William headed outside and unfolded his chair and gazed at the beautiful night sky "It really is beautiful the Vivid stars the clear sky and the moon , no pollution or clouds. Luna really makes beautiful art" he said thinking out loud unbeknownst to him someone was listening

"You really think its beautiful?" A female voice that William didn't recognize said in a mix of happiness and bewilderment

"I do , want to watch it with me a beautiful sight like this should be enjoyed with others and I well rather not talk to some pony I can't see" he replied kindly

"Are you sure , I mean I heard you're a weird stallion and most ponies don't like my kind since we look different" the unknown female replied

"Well I'm not even a pony so I don't think that applies to me and well if someone.. Sorry somepony can admire the same beauty that most take for granted or can't see, they can't be bad in my book" he replied smiling as he looked at the night sky admiring it

The unknown mare came out of the shadows and flew towards William , William turned his head and smiled as he notices who he was talking too.

A beautiful anthro mare with grey fur ,fangs, beautiful batlike wings and a armor with a light purple , blue and dark purple scheme that looked like a roman armor with a crescent moon on the chest landed next to William

"I'm sorry if I scare you" the mare replied

"No you look good I've never seen a vamp pony before and you aren't scary at all" William responded smiling at her

"You really are a weird stallion most ponies are scared of our appearance even some mares" she replied in a slightly sad sounding tone

Scared why? He thought "Well I don't find you scary one bit , from my perspective ponies are cute and you are adorable too" he replied smiling

The Lunar Guard pony blushed and looked surprised then looked away from William

"Did I say something wrong again , I swear I'm going to need ask Twilight for a book on pony culture" he said worried

"No no it's just when Luna said to keep an eye on a strange stallion she met in while walking the dreamscape I didn't expect this , don't worry you said nothing wrong it was nice to hear" the Lunar guard said blushing as she sat near William wrapping her wing around him as he started to shiver slightly

"Thank you , sorry I have no fur so the hole sitting outside at night time isn't normal for me , you said Luna send you I hope I didn't offend the princess" he said looking at the Lunar guard

"No she was just worried , her spells were taking a lot of magic when trying to see your dreams and when she cast a spell to look into your memories , she noticed your pain got worse causing you to wake up" the guard replied kindly

"Yeah I've found out magic and me don't mix well, still looking into somepony their memories wow. I must really made her worry then didn't I?" He asked the Lunar guard

"A bit . Your actions and dreams seemed weird to her, it's why i was actually stationed here after the hole dream ordeal I've noticed you made some friends?" She replied

"Well where I'm from they wouldn't be seen as friends after such a small interaction more like acquaintances but i do like their company , Oh where are my manners I'm William Cross a pleasure to meet you miss" He replied

"Oh i'm Ebony Ward , i'm a vamp pony who serves Luna in the Lunar guard as it's First Lieutenant and private guard to Luna" She replied smiling

"Wow important military pony then. I feel flattered but i hope i'm not a boring station and that i didn't cause any inconveniences for you or the princess" He said smiling at Ebony

"Not at all, i mean the reason i was picked by Luna is to check on your well being when i heard how you acted and what you looked like I was a little worried especially when i was.. spying on you and your visitors from yesterday but from what i have seen and heard you don't seem like a bad what did you call yourself again a hueman" she replied

"Human but yeah , I'm not planning to hurt anypony though i will act if i am forced into a unwanted situation and i'm probably not well versed in the local Uhm.. well customs and society " he replied

"And you have a soft spot don't think i didn't notice you hiding all those plushies and other things away" she replied teasingly

"Yeah that was more to prevent an awkward situation" he replied blushing and then continued gazing and the beautiful starlit sky

"You must really like the stars and the sky that it took you aback so much Mister William" she said happily

"No need for the formality but yeah i do enjoy the night sky it's much clearer then back home and so beautiful. Sorry if this is to much to ask but since i'm your station and you probably have reports to Deliver to Luna can you maybe give her my thanks for the night sky she makes Miss Ebony" He asked Ebony

"I'll add it to my reports and if i don't call you mister you don't call me miss got that" she said as she playfully punched William causing him to laugh

"Sorry Ebony , seeing that the moon is going down I guess I won't be able to admire it more" he frowns saddened
"If i only weren't so negatively effected by magic i would have taken out a telescope and stargazed a little"

"Are you purposely admiring the sky or are you literally that entranced by it , Luna has made better ones before" she replied

"Where i'm from its a rare sight to see such a clear sky and so many stars , sorry if it seems weird I just like what Equestria has from sights sure the things that were seen as myth in my world like manticores and talking anthropomorphic equines ,magic and well the rest is a lot to take in but it has a lot of beauty too , i do hope I'll be able to see and learn more about it without ponies thinking I'm a delicate wall flower" he replied

"Delicate for a stallion you're doing better then any mare would expect especially without magic" she replied as she puts her hand on his shoulder

"Well i think considering the possible differences between where I came from and here that isn't much I mean i did get a nasty bite of a timberwolf before well putting an axe through its head and well the manticore was pure luck on my part" he replied

"Manticore pure luck keep saying that we need multiple guard ponies to have a safe expedition through these woods and here is the strange stallion that asserted its dominance over two creatures of the Everfree while being less then their best and calmly having ponies over in a home there . A stallion!! I swear the mares at the castle won't believe it when Princess Luna tells her sister and the other guards" Ebony said with a smile

"Well thank you i well am just being myself , i hope we can meet when you are not on duty maybe a visit with some tea with cookies , hmm do ponies eat baked goods like cookies and pancakes " he replied as he notices the moon went down and the sun coming up

"We do don't worry we do but I'm sure Twillight will want to explain the diet of ponies in detail to you later while researching you , don't be to rough on her she is nosy but not dangerous just tell them when they are to much to handle since your a stallion they'll understand and if they force you give them a good right hook just not to rough since well us mares can't really hit a stallion its not decent" she replied

"Well in my culture it's not decent to hurt a female or a mare so that isn't going to happen still the differences in gender status quo is really mind boggling but I'll have to learn i guess but i won't change who i am" he responded

"Well its been nice William , I'll come visit a time when i'm off duty but its almost 7 am so i have to report to Luna, I'll see you later also be kind to little Scootaloo when she visits , she has it rough enough" she said before flying away

Rough enough what does Ebony mean with that William thought as he went inside to prepare breakfast pancakes

The smell of the breakfast pancakes woke up Rainbow

"What in the hay are you doing out of bed you need to rest and take it calm" Rainbow Dash shouted angrily while she walked in the living room and noticed William in the open kitchen at the other side of the living room.

"What the hay happened to you did you do last night you look different" she said staring at the now perfectly healthy William who had strangely gained some muscle mass

"Uhm different how all i did was sleep? He asked confused

"You arms and legs did you take a training exercise or something or did u take the same stuff Bulk does?" she asked

"Uhm you saw me go to bed seriously i did nothing" he looked at himself and looked surprised "Ok ... i got nothing this is just strange" he replied dumbfounded

"You think?" Rd replied in a snarky tone

"Well I'll just write it of as strange magic or side effects of me coming here not that i mind , now can you go get your little friend, I'd like to meet her and we can talk over breakfast" he said looking at rainbow dash

"Wait you actually want her here i thought you just said that yesterday to make the other's feel happy" Rd replied confused

"Awe come on what sort of person or pony comes in between friends also i like kids and everypony likes pancakes or so i hope" he replied

"Yeah but what is that bottle of dark brown blackish goo on the table?" Rd asked

"Maple syrup , what ponies don't have it wait don't tell me ponies just get sugar out of sugar cane cause that's rather limited for a source of sweeteners and not to mention probably expensive" he stated

"Yeah we do everypony does. Wait you're telling me that that brownish goo tastes sweet?" Rd asked

"Yep , though if you want sugar on your pancakes i can take out the sugars still thanks to what you said i found a way to make money if i see any other differences between our cultures technology wise or method of harvest wise for luxurious products i can make myself rich " he smiled

"Yeah uhm you could well i'm off to get Scoots , you sure you want her here" Rd asked

"Well she is your friend and i see you as my friend even though you tried to forcibly take me out my home so i see no trouble with it, you can show her the comics or do tricks outside the house or well just talk or I could show her toys from my world" he replied

"Alright I'll be back soon don't get into any weird trouble" she said laughing before flying away

William continued making pancakes and took some orange juice out of the fridge for Scoots and then started to prepare coffee for himself and Rainbow if she wanted any.

As William is done preparing breakfast he hears some voices outside

"Are you sure this is ok Rainbow from what you said he sounds like a crazy pony and you know how some stallions act to foals that aren't their own" a young female voice said outside

"Don't you worry Squirt , he isn't even a pony and he is cool sure a little marelike in the way he acts but he is a cool whatever he is i forgot the name" Rd replied

marelike, Well there goes my masculinity He thought

"I'm not sure Rainbow , i mean what if he asks about my wings or my blank flank" Scoots said worrying

William couldn't take the worrying of the filly anymore and stepped outside "Don't worry Little one Humans don't get cutie marks as for your wings well you still need to grow" he said as he stepped outside and ruffled the Little orange pegasus her mane

Rd looks at William with a suprise

"What i could hear you two from inside and it breaks my heart to see a little filly worry about things that honestly don't matter" he said as smiles at Scootaloo who stepped a bit back because of William his well teeth but William just looks at her "Listen Scootaloo , i don't care what ponies look like if they are different or not what matters to me what's right here" he said pointing at where his heart is. This made the young Scootaloo seem less nervous as she stepped closer to William "And besides your still a young filly you still have to grow" he smiled at her "Now lets get inside i hope you like orange juice and pancakes" he said smiling before heading back inside his house

"I love pancakes" Scootaloo said happily rushing in like a fast orange blur on her scooter causing William just to laugh

"Aah kids no matter the universe they still are bundles of joy" William said smiling

"You're good with foals" Rd replied as she came in

"Not really good for my species standards but they do bring happiness and a smile on my face" he replied to Rd

Scootaloo rushed to the breakfast table "What is that dark brown stuff in the bottle " scoots asked

"Why don't u try it normally i'd say put it on the pancakes but just take a little drip of it, i know you'll like it" William replied as Scoots nervously took a little bit of maple syrup she smiles

"Its so sweet , like very sugary but also different" Scoots said smiling

"Happy you like it little one, i was planing to try and make some more later on as a job since it doesn't use sugarcane but first lets eat" he replied to the little filly smiling as he served her some pancakes and a glass of orange juice and then looked at RD
"Rainbow do you want some coffee?" he asked her

Rd looked confused at William "I'd like some but not like stallions drink it."

"Uhm how do stallions drink it i drink mine black?" He asked getting a confused look from RD and Scoots

"Just black is fine" Rd replied

"Are you sure he is a stallion Dash he acts like a mare?" Scoots asked RD

William booped the Orange pegasus "I'm no mare or a stallion , i'm a man a human male" he said ruffling through scoot her mane

"Well you do act like a mare , i mean you swear like a mare , build things like a mare , fight though stallions after rigorous training in the guard do that too but well the only stallion like part from what I've seen is cleaning, cooking and being good with Scoots" Rd replied

"Thank you there goes my masculinity" he replied jokingly to Rd

"Well he might be a strange stallion but he is nice , so RD what are we going to do today?" Scootaloo asked full of anticipation

"Well i gotta keep an eye on the strange stallion so i don't know what we can do, sorry Scoots "Rd replied slightly sad

"I don't wanna do knitting or boring Stallion Things" Scootaloo said annoyed

"Well neither do I" William replied
"Hmm but I'd probably get in trouble with Flutters if i did anything to extreme and this place has less magic which is why i probably feel good" William is thinking then smiles looking at Scootaloo and Rd "You seem the speed enjoying type right little scoots" he said smiling at Scootaloo

"Hey don't do anything crazy Fluttershy told me to take care of you and for you to keep it easy" RD objected

"Oh i'll be sitting on my butt don't you worry and a nice picnic is seen as Stallion thing right" He smirked

"What are you planning what does a Picnic and speed have to do with each other, i mean whats fast for you is probably slow for us anyway" Rd replied

"Ready to eat those words Dash" William smiled

"I don't get what the crazy stallion is thinking off" Scoots said confused

"Oh you will both see after breakfast how about a little roadtrip" he smirked

"But you just said this place has less magic and more magic could cause issues" RD replied

"True but everything that came with me is like a sponge for magic and has low magic so I've already got that covered but its a surprise" he smirks at his reply and continues eating
