Unlikely Endeavors

Ivory Sky was sitting under her favorite tree reading a book. The tree was huge compared to the others around it and made for some great shade. She loves coming here to be alone and have some piece and quiet for once without her parents constantly screaming at her for whatever it was she had done or was thinking of doing.

"why are you failing math?" or "why do you want piercings?" "Celestia, why are they always up my ass about everything?" They are one of the biggest reasons that she comes here, because nopony really comes out this far from town other then caravans and tourists.

She flips to the next page of her book and continues reading. Her ear suddenly flicks a little as she hears a large crash in the distance behind her.

The tree was big enough to where she had to get up and look around it to see where the noise came from. Setting her book down next to her bag she got up and looked over.

Her eyes widen slightly as she sees what seems to be a house in the distance. It was right in the middle of the field, and she knows it wasn't there when she came here.

"what in Tartarus?" She quietly says to herself as she stares at the house. "Maybe a homemade spell gone wrong?" she thought as she grabbed her bag and shoved her book inside, sliding the bag over her back.

She slowly started walking over to the house, it was a good distance away, but as she got closer it was defiantly not a house designed from here. She siding looked like plastic and had a very modern looking design to it. It wasn't very big in size, but a little bigger in height.

She got the the point where she was about 20 yards away from it before she stopped. The front door seemed to open slowly and that is when she froze. A large two legged creature comes from the door and is starring right at her. She suddenly got the chills and slowly started to back away.

The creature seemed to do the same as it went back inside and shut the door. "that is a mother fucking alien!" She screamed in her head as she started to bolt back to town.

She thought she better put as much distance between her and it before it comes back and chases her down to probe her butt or some weird shit like that. She read a few comic books with aliens, but they didn't look like that.

She had to tell Twilight Sparkle, the Element of Harmony that ran the castle in Ponyville. She would know what to do. Even with how reckless Ivory was with things, she knows better then to try and fuck with some weird alien thing that fell out of the sky.

It's about a 15 minute run back to Ponyville, being a couple miles out from town. She ran straight for the castle and didn't even bother knocking on the door as she made her way inside.

"Hello!? Twilight Sparkle?" She shouted a little louder then normal. She was still a little freaked out that she seen an alien. It takes a minute of looking around the castle before she finds the throne room, pushing the doors open to see all the Elements having some sort of meeting.

The guards besides the door stare at her as she looks around the room. Better make this fast before the guards throw her ass out.

"You guys have to come quick! There is some sort of weird thing on the outskirts of town!" Everyone in the room was now staring at her, processing what she just said.

"What do you mean by 'weird thing'?" Twilight asked

"Exactly that! I've never seen or read anything like it, it was walking on two legs, and was tall! It just appeared out of nowhere in some weird looking house!"

"I see," Twilight stated. "How far out was this?"

"A couple miles, not too far at all. It... stared at me, and then went back into it's house-ship"

"House-ship?" Rainbow dash questioned

"Yes! I'm not joking about this!" Ivory gave them her best 'I'm not lying face' she could muster

They all looked at each other and started to have a small mumbled conversation that Ivory couldn't hear.

"I'm pretty sure she's telling the truth," Applejack said "I can tell."

"Very well," Twilight started "If she is telling the truth we better look into this now rather then later, we don't know if this 'thing' could be dangerous or not and we don't want to have it coming into Ponyville to find out."

The rest nod and all stand up, heading to the door. They all follow Twilight out of the room as does Ivory, following behind

"Please bring a few squads of guards, we might need them" Twilight says to the door guards as she passes by them. They nod and salute her as they follow suit as well.

Ivory follows them outside as twilight stops and looks back at her

"I don't want you to follow us, this thing could be dangerous as I said, and I don't want anypony getting hurt that doesn't have to." She gives Ivory a reassuring smile

Ivory nods understandingly, she honestly didn't want to have to go all the way back out there either. She watches as the Elements walk down the path a few moments later a group of armed guards follow them as well.

With a sigh she decides to head home and get some rest, running all that way was rather tiring. She begins to walk back to her house and wonders what will happen to the alien. Will it resist? Will they have to kill it? Celestia she didn't want that to happen.

Even though it might be dangerous she didn't want to just get killed, think of all the things we could learn from it, what technology it has. Either way, hopefully everything works out in the end.

It was a couple minutes before she pushes the front door open to her house and lets herself inside. Her house wasn't anything special, it was cosy, and had just what she needed. She made a quick stop in the kitchen for a snack, knowing dinner wasn't going to be for another few hours until her parents got home from work.

Grabbing a granola bar, she made her way to her room. Throwing her bag onto the floor beside her bed, she let out a relieved sigh as she laid down.

"What a weird fucking day..." She said out loud to herself, starring up at the ceiling fan go around and around. She kept thinking about the alien, I mean who wouldn't right? The thing just appeared out of nowhere. Yes there is magic and many different types of creatures in Equestria but none of them lived in a weird house and looked like that.

It was tall, with what looked like a tan-ish colored skin. It didn't seem to have fur, but was wearing some type of clothing on it. It definitely looked straight at her, that much she was sure of so it had to be sentient of some sort. She rolled over to her side as she looked across the room at her mirror.

"I look like shit" She said to herself. All that running made her sweat a decent amount, causing her light gray coat to become darkened in a few parts around her body. Her red and white dyed hair was all over the place, un-kept, which was normal, but it was worse then it usually is.

A good shower would help, maybe keep her mind of things, maybe after she would actually do her homework for a change.

But probably not.

Getting up off the bed she grabbed her bag and put it in the nightstand, opening it up she noticed that the bags lock was already undone. realizing that she reached into her bag for the book she was reading.

"Son of a bitch!" She yells out as the book that she was looking for is gone.

"It must have fallen out while I was running... come on!" She does a double check but it was not there. Sighing in defeat she decides to that that shower, maybe she'll go looking for it tomorrow after school.
