I woke up at 5:30 AM, did all my things I usually do, and wrote Puppet a note that I would be back in a little bit. I then went down to the teleporter and put in “Twilight’s Castle”. I had to be super careful so I didn’t wake up Twilight. I went through the portal, tiptoed through the castle and hopped through a window so I didn’t have to make a lot of noise going through the main doors. I got out and went to the Everfree Forest. I was on a mission and I made my decision to look for one pony and one pony only: Queen Chrysalis.

I wanted to try to reform her, and I was hoping that she would listen to me, one creature to another. I went through the forest calling for her. At one point, I was walking through the forest, when I blacked out. I woke up to be tied around a tree and a big headache.

“Hello there, creature.” She grumbled.

“Hello there. I’m Johnny.” I said.

“I heard you calling my name and I would like to know what you’re doing here.”

“I’ve heard stories about you and I wanted to help you.“

“I don’t believe you. You’re probably here to take me to the Princess for a reward.”

“No, I’m not. I believe you can become good. You have to believe me, I’m not-”

“I don’t have to believe you, and I won’t.” She snapped, cutting me off. “Nobody likes me, I have no friends that like me, nor any family that love me. I've been starving for moons. So how about you just go back to your family, because I’m not coming with you!” She yelled, begrudgingly untying me.

“I don’t have a family.” I said.

She looked at me with shock.

“No family? How?"

“That’s… kind of a touchy subject…” I muttered.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings!” She gasped.

“It’s okay, you were just in the heat of the moment. Listen, I came here because out of every pony and creature there is in Equestria, I thought you would listen to me, since I’m an odd one out, being the only human in Equestria. I can give you a better life, better food, a roof over your head, I can give you all of that. I promise that I’m not taking you to the princess.”

She looked at me then turned away. “But why me?” She asked.

“Because I believe there’s good in you and I believe you deserve a second chance.” I replied.

“I’m not entirely sure.”

“Alright, I’ll be back in a week so you can think about it.”

That week leading up to her decision was slow because of the possibility of her saying yes, and the fact that Puppet and I were hanging out. When Friday came, I woke up at 5:30 AM again, took a shower, got dressed, had breakfast, grabbed a Gersh Device, went through Twilight’s portal, went through the same window, and out to the Everfree Forest. I called out to her again, but this time, she came from behind, covered my mouth, and pulled me into the forest.

She started to look around, like she thought I would be bringing people with me. Once she saw no one was with me, she uncovered my mouth.

“Hello Johnny.” She greeted me.

“Hello. Have you decided?”

“Yes, I would like to come live with you.”

“Alright. When we go back to my house, we have to be quiet, because my friend is sleeping.”

We went to my house and I had her sit down at the table in the kitchen.

“Have you eaten pancakes before?”

“Yes, I have.”

“What about Chocolate Chip Pancakes?”

“I don't think so, no.”

“Are you allergic to chocolate?”

“No.”

“Alright. I wanted to make sure because I’m going to make Chocolate Chip Pancakes.” As I was making the pancakes, I called out, “Hey, Alexa, play “She” by Green Day.”

“Playing “She” By Green Day.” Alexa announced as the music began to play.

“That’s cool.”

When it got to the chorus, Chrysalis asked, “Were you at Ponyville on Sunday?”

“Yes I was.”

“Did you hear the music that was playing?”

“Yep.”

“Do you know who was playing the music?”

“Me.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Pinkie Pie was throwing me a ‘Welcome To Equestria’ party, and she asked me to play music at the party since the Mane Six had heard me play before, so Puppet and I played four songs, this being one of them.”

“After breakfast, could you play me a song or two?”

“Sure. We’ll have to wait for Puppet to come down so he can play as well.”

As Chrysalis and I were eating, Puppet came down.

“Good morning, John-” He stopped when he saw Chrysalis.

“Puppet,” I began as he turned to me, “remember Chrysalis from the stories that we heard?” I winked at him.

“Yeah.” He said.

“Well she’s going to be living here so she can learn how to be nice.”

“Alright.” He sat down at the other end of the table.

“Chrysalis, this is my friend Marionette, or puppet. Puppet, this is Chrysalis.”

“Hello.”

“Now Puppet, after breakfast, we're going to play some songs for Chrysalis. But, I need you guys to do something. Chrysalis, I need you to stay in this dimension for a few weeks, because I don’t know how other ponies would react, and Puppet, I don’t want you telling anypony about this.”

“Alright.” He said.

After Puppet and I played the songs at the show for Chrysalis, I gave her a tour of the house. I showed her the room she would be sleeping in, which was a room in front of the first floor staircase, my room, Puppet’s room, and the garage. I got her a bed to sleep in and some pillows and blankets. We spent the rest of the day getting to know each other.

Before we all went to bed, I asked Chrysalis, “Is it okay if I call you Chrysi?”

“I’m fine with you calling me that.” She agreed. Chrysi and Puppet went to bed, and I stayed up for a little bit writing about what happened today. Then, I went to bed.
