I decided to explain everything to Steely Armor. But of course I didn't feel comfortable about it. Twilight told me to come to the library if I wanted to tell the whole story. So I did. She told me to go to the faculty reading room; It was small and under-ventilated but it had a table and chairs and a door we could close so we wouldn't disturb any students or Ms. Cheerlie the librarian.

Twilight and Steely Armor were talking together when I got there. I said "Hi"

"Oh, Sunset is here too! we should get started." Twilight came towards me and stood next to me.

"Just give me a sec." he sat down and took his note pad out. As he did that we sat down at the table too.

"before we start, I need say something first!"

"OK, What is it?"

"I....Stool your blueprint that day because...I was curious and I know that is not a good reason but....I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that!"

"Oh, um....I forgive you I guess.... *cough* just uh...don't do it again!"

"I won't, I promise." for some reason It was easier than I thought. "So, uh....where do I start?"

"From the beginning, the very beginning." Steely Armor replied.

I couldn’t stand remembering all those things but I knew I needed to face it someday so I started.

I told him about how that I came here. And that I don't belong here. I kind of hooped he'd give up the whole thing when I told him I was actually a unicorn from another dimension, but he didn't. I told him what I did, explaining everything we saw, encountered, learned and he wrote down some stuff on his notepad. Then Twilight explained what happened to her up to and including the Friendship Games against Crystal Prep where she had her magic overload. I could tell that she didn't feel comfortable about that, either. I put my hands on hers and gave her a smile. Misery love's company, right?

It didn't take that much time. but it was pretty hard to do and it felt like it took forever.

He stayed silent for a few seconds and then he said "I need to take a break, I think I ....really need to take a break." Then he left the library.

I leaned back on my chair and sighed. "That was....not easy."

Twilight sighed too. "I'm sure it's pretty much harder for Steely Armor to take it."

"Well, I'm pretty sure that he's going forget about dating either one of us."

We both laughed. Then we said goodbye and headed home. But I didn't have much time to spare. I had a duel, after all. And now that I was up against a champion things got just way serious. I practiced all night, no video games, no TV! I had to win!

I practiced most of the night. The next morning when I saw Steely Armor, I could tell by looking at him that he hadn't slept well that night either. When he saw me, he came towards me and asked me a favor: he wanted to borrow few books about magic. Books about Equestrian magic! From you. I gave him a non-committal but friendly response. But I was happy that he didn't thing that I was crazy and began avoiding me. Believe me, I just want to make sure Equestrian magic is not setting chaos in this world.

After school I started training again. Aside from the fact that I still didn't want to lose to him again, now I had a better idea of his skill level and felt I needed to up my game. The next day I was going to sluather alley to face him. I didn't say anything to the girls since they might have gotten worried.

It was going to be only me and my sabre.
