Jason Takes Equestria

Everfree Forest: Lake

The shining sun refracted through the surface of the water on the sleeping Jason. His eyes slowly opened to the dancing glitter of light gleaming from above him.

Rising from his lake floor bed (machete in hand), he got to his feet then headed up the embankment to the shore. Trudging up and out of the lake, barely registering his surroundings as just woods, he came to rest on a fallen tree a few feet from the lake side. Thinking over the happenings of the past twenty-four hours, he gazed across the lake as he put away his favored weapon.

As his thoughts kept delving deeper, his eyes fell to the hands resting in his lap causing his inward contemplation momentary pause.

Raising a gloved hand to eye level vertically, he allowed the sleeve of his jacket to fall and expose the flesh beneath.

Instead of the grey corpse coloring and muscular forearm he had gotten used to, what greeted his gaze was a thinner warm ivory colored arm.

Pulling the sleeve further, he only saw more of the same. He checked all over, finding his form had changed completely.

Confused, he decided to take a better look at himself in the lakes surface while getting to his feet.

The reflection that met his vision, still clad in his hockey mask was a slightly more compact version of himself. The bulky muscle he once wielded was more streamlined.

(He went from a 'John Cena' build to a 'Bruce Lee' build in a sense. Losing muscle mass without losing power).

The next thing to come to his attention was the aforementioned mask.

It looked the same for the most part but the holes for his eyes were bigger as well as seem to move when he glanced from side to side. He closed one eye. To his shock the eye hole over the same eye closed to a narrow slit. Opening his eyes wide caused the mask to do the same.

Weird.

It reminded him of the cartoons he used to watch a long time ago, when he was living with his mother.

His face soured at that thought.

Backing away from the water's edge, he then turned his attention to the environment around him. Something felt off about it as well. As if it was drawn but also three-dimensional.

Very weird.

Sitting back on the log from before, he started his contemplation anew.

So you finished getting rid of the trespassers. Then a big hole like thing sucked you into it. You splash down into a lake and decided to sleep there because 'depression is a bitch'. You wake up, your body is smaller, easier to move in, but you feel just as strong as before. Your mask moves as if it's your face. Plus, you and the world look like a cartoon of some sort.

Jason paused, then continued.

Plus your thoughts are clearer and more than just short blurbs. Huh, Neat. What do I do now? I'm not actually in the same world it seems, so I have no place to protect. Mother is gone too.

At that thought Jason absentmindedly placed a hand on the breast pocket over his heart. After feeling the small bulge through the garment, he sighed and continued.

I still have the book, but I feel I can't use it because the glasses girl had to read it aloud. There's something that tells me not to let it out of my sight again. Anyway, now what?

Jason pondered his conundrum extensively.

Well, I can see if there is anybody around here for a start.

Closing his eyes, he felt the familiar buildup and release of the pulse from his core, only this time it seemed stronger then before. When the ping came back it didn't seem to indicate any humans, a lot of animals and a town a couple miles away to the north-east. There also appeared to be a cottage of some sort due north near the forests edge, close to his current position as well.

Opening his eyes and getting back to his feet, he made up his mind.

Might as well start at that cottage. See if i can find anything at least.

With this course of action set, Jason began his march into these odd woods.

Cantrelot Castle

"And that's when I woke up." Princess Celestia finished explaining her nightmare to her sister and closest confidant, Princess Luna. "Do you have any ideas of what this might mean?"

Luna shook her head. "Nay, I do not. It could be something from the ancient past resurfacing. Fears of the future that have yet to come to pass. Too much cake before bed." She poked a little fun at her sweet toothed sister with a smirk before continuing. "The only thing I can't place is the strange creature you saw. Was it a minotaur of some sort?"

Celestia responded in the negative. "No. It did seem to have hands but no horns or hooves that I could tell."

Luna pursed her lips in thought. "Then I'm not too sure what to tell you. My apologies, sister."

"No, it's fine. Just talking to you about it helps to ease my mind greatly. Thank you." Celestia rested her forehoof atop Luna's then looked her in the eyes. "Thank you."

Luna smiled slightly then turned to the window. "I just hope it's truly not but a nightmare."

Everfree Forest: Near the Cottage

Jason looked out from the edge of the forest at the small cottage for any signs of life. He had used his sense ability again upon arriving but still all he could seem to sense was wildlife animals.

Odd. Even from this close I don't sense anybody. Nothing in the nearby town either, all I can sense are the animals present. Well, I'm already here so I'll have a look around at least. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Moving from the tree line, he trod toward said structure.

Closing the distance, he began to hear a voice on the other side of the cottage.

This caused him to slow his stride and focus on his hearing. They, whoever it was, seemed to be singing. There was something else harmonizing with the voice, it sounded like.

Birds?

Jason raised an eyebrow to this.

So not only did I not sense whoever is over there, they're singing with birds joining in? The oddities just keep piling up today don't they.

Edging closer as quietly as possible (which is ninja master skill quiet) he reached the house and crept along the side leading towards the front. Upon getting to his destination, he stepped into the front lawn and glanced around looking for the source of the voice.

All he saw was a tree with a Flock of birds perched in its limbs. In front of the tree was a yellow pony that had a pink mane and tail, which was facing the other way. This voice seemed to be coming from the same spot.

Maybe there is a radio over there? it's pretty clear for a radio though. I do like this singing voice. It's very, calming.

Making sure not to draw any attention to himself, he stepped closer behind the yellow pony. After stopping about eight feet or so away, he looked about but still didn't see anything.

I'll give sense one more shot. Maybe I missed something.

After closing his eyes however, all he could do was listen intently to the beautiful song. There was something about it but he just couldn't place it.

Suddenly, the bird's stopped singing then flew off in fright. Most likely they just now noticed him.

"What? What's wrong? Why are you?... EEP?!"

Welp, looks like I'm spotted.

Opening his eyes, he glanced down at the yellow pony that was covering its head with her forehooves and quivering in fear.

He took a step closer to the small shaking form.

"S-s-stop!"

Jason did as it asked.

The voice spoke again.

"Get back!"

Once again, he complied then stood where he was before. Confused he looked over to the yellow and pink pony.

The voice was coming from it? That can't be right, Right?

At this, the pony peeked out from its pink mane. A teal-colored eye greeted his vision. After seeing he had gone back, the pony tentatively got back on its hooves.

"W-what are you?"

Jason's mind was reeling as he tilted his head.

Okay, so it is talking. Well, that's new.

"Where did you come from?" She (from what he could tell by the voice) asked in a quiet squeak.

Not sure how to answer, he pointed back to the way he came from.

She followed his pointing finger and asked. "You came out of the Everfree Forest? Wait, you can understand me?"

Jason nodded at both questions.

Her eye's seemed to glimmer at the aspect. "Oh, my goodness! A new unknown creature from the Everfree Forest and I'm the first to ever see it! This is amazing! Plus, it can understand me! Ooo, Twilight is going to geek out about this!"

She halted her thoughts and turned back to Jason. "I'm sorry. I didn't introduce myself."

Clearing her throat, she proceeded. "My name is Fluttershy. What's yours?"

Jason placed a finger on his chin as he thought.

Well you can't mime your way out of this one bud, and still can't talk. How do I? Hmm. Oh!

Jason crouched down, then got on his knees so he was at eye level with her. Fishing around in his left breast pocket for a couple seconds, he pulled out a small gold locket that his mother use to wear.

Gently, he pried it open to show a photo that had long since rotted away, along with an engraving. He placed the locket in his palm and slowly brought it to Fluttershy so she could see.

"Jason. Six, Thirteen, Nineteen Forty-Six. Jason? is that your name?"

He nodded in the affirmative.

"Huh, I've never heard a name like that before. It's a nice name though. I like it." Fluttershy spoke with a genuine grin on her muzzle.

A small smile crept across his face and could be seen in his eyes. He closed the locket and placed it back in its home.

This is nice. it almost feels like.

At this, his thoughts came to a dead stop as his eyes widened and head tilted back to look at the sky.

Realization hit him like a porch awning.

Like when mother was alive.

He felt something touch the hand resting on his knee.

"Are you alright Jason?" Fluttershy asked in a worried tone.

Jason looked back down at her. Then he felt something wet run down his mask.

"W-why are you crying?"

This feeling. I almost forgot just how nice it was. This gentle feeling.

More tears streamed down the mask as he bit his lip while his emotions just over flowed. He placed a hand over his eyes then leaned back to try and stop the tears.

But to no avail.

"I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?" She questioned meekly.

He slowly shook his head 'no'.

You need to stop.

He wiped at the tears to try and clear his vision.

More just took its place.

You're going to weird her out if you don't stop.

He sniffled and tried to take deep breaths to calm down.

Wasn't helping.

She's going to be bothered if you don't stop.

Tears ran down his chin, then neck and soaked into his shirt.

She's going to hate you if you don't, STOP!

At that thought he felt himself get slowly pulled into a hug.

Fluttershy placed her foreleg around his neck and pulled him in closer. With the other she gently rubbed the back of his head with her hoof, which wasn't as hard as one would think.

"Shh-shh-shh. It's okay. Just let it out. It's okay." Fluttershy whispered into his ear reassuringly.

Jason hesitantly ran a hand to her back and rested his face in the nape of her neck.

Then, just as she said to.

He just let it out.

He bore his emotions like a young child who clung to his mother after a nightmare and sought comforting.

10 Minutes later

Well, that was awkward.

Jason wiped the tears from his masked face and sheepishly looked to the side, away from Fluttershy.

"Feeling better now?" she asked with a warm smile.

He nodded, looking at her from the corner of his eye apologetically.

Sorry about that.

"Oh, it's fine. I'm sure you must have gone through a lot. It's only natural for you to be overwhelmed."

Yeah but still, Sorry. He looked to the ground for a moment, then back to her.

"It's fine. Would you like to come in and have some tea on the couch?"

I wouldn't mind coming in, but tea isn't necessary. He used his hands to gesture his thoughts.

With a giggle Fluttershy rose and headed for the door. "Alright, I'll make some tea for myself then."

He followed close behind then ducked under the door frame as to not hit his head.

After passing a fireplace on his right and a doorway that lead to what looked like a kitchen to his left, he seated himself on the couch that was in front of a window.

As Fluttershy went to make the tea for herself, Jason looked about the living room.

It was a very quaint room. Bird houses hung from the ceiling, little staircase's fit for small animal's adorn both left and right walls and a doorway behind the chair to his left seemed to lead back outside.

Jason nodded.

This is a nice house.

Suddenly Jason felt something hit his foot multiple times. Looking down, Jason's gaze met a little white rabbit pummeling his boot.

"Angel! Be nice to Jason. He's a guest." Fluttershy chastised the small bunny who was throwing a fit, while walking in with her tea.

she walked over to the chair and sat down. "I'm sorry about him. He can be a bit, spoiled."

Jason shrugged.

It's not like it bothers me

Jason reached down and with his index finger rubbed the top of Angel's head gently.

Angel froze to the sudden touch but slowly leaned into the rubs.

Placing the back of his hand to the floor, Jason invited angel to be picked up, which he answered by climbing into his palm.

Lifting the small form up slowly as to not frighten him, Jason brought him to his lap and stroked Angels tiny head tenderly.

Angel was loving every minute of it. His eyes became heavy lidded due to relaxation and sleepiness.

"Wow, I've never seen Angel take to anybody so quick before. Plus, he's never let anybody pick him up but me." Fluttershy said over her cup.

Jason glanced over to her without stopping his pets.

Most animals don't get this close to me, so I never really got to do this before either.

At this Jason had an idea. Scooching closer while trying not to jostle Angel, he lifted his free hand to Fluttershy.

He paused and gave her a look that implied, May I?

Fluttershy looked at his hand a moment, placed her tea down, then nodded. "S-sure, okay."

Resting his hand on her head, he began to scratch behind her ear. She closed her eyes and cooed. "Oh my. I see why he likes it so much."

After a few minutes Fluttershy looked up to Jason while saying "As much as I'd like to continue this, I should probably call the girls over. I'm sure they would really like to meet you. I think I'll ask Rarity if she can make some new clothes."

Jason's gaze dropped to his worn-out apparel and acquiesced.

Yeah, I've kind of had these for quite a while.

Hopping out of her chair, she strode over to the door.

"Okay, you just stay here for a bit, and I'll be back before you know it."

Jason waved from his seat. Come back, safe.

Fluttershy opened the door and spread her wings. "Be right back." She called over her shoulder before closing the door.

Raising an eyebrow, Jason thought to himself, Did I just 'not' notice those wings before now? Ah well.

Half an Hour Later

Jason waited on the couch tenderly petting a sleeping, happy Angel bunny.

After a while he heard voices approach the front door.

"now just please remember not to freak out, okay?"

Jason recognized Fluttershy's voice on the other side of the door.

"We get it Fluttershy but why are you being so secretive about this?"

"Yeah. Tain't the first time ya called us over to yer house to see a new critter."

"I always like meeting the new additions to the menagerie."

"I was having a good nap, so this better not be just another bunny or something, Flutters."

"Oh please. If it was, she wouldn't have asked me to bring my measuring tape. Right darling?"

Those must be the friends she was talking about. He reasoned.

"Okay, just remember what you said. Jason, could you come out to meet my friends please?"

"You already named it?"

Slowly picking up Angel, then placing him on a pillow on the couch, he got to his feet. Leisurely he stepped toward the door.

"Plus aren't you going to open the door for..."

Twilight's words died in her throat as she heard his large sounding step's draw closer to the opposite side of the door, then the knob turn.

Slowly Jason cracked the door open to peek out. Fluttershy was the only one that he could see from where he stood, and she gave him a reassuring smile. "It's okay. Come on out."

He nodded slightly with a, Alright. Here goes nothing.

Creaking the door open, he bowed his head under the door frame and stepped out.

After exiting the house, he stood at his full height.

Looking from Fluttershy to her friends, Jason's vision was met with face's that varied from surprise, shock, a genuine smile, mouth agape stare and on the verge of fainting.

Apart from the smile they were looks he was used to seeing quite often.

"Jason, these are my friends. Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity."

He raised a hand then waved.

Nice to meet you all.

All but Pinkie pie (who waved enthusiastically) rose a hoof and weakly waved back.

"Oh, and to answer your question, Twilight. No, I didn't name him, that is his name."

"Wait, it can talk?" Rainbow Dash piped up.

Jason's face winced a bit at being called an 'IT'.

Before he could even dwell on it, Fluttershy scolded her. "Rainbow! He is not an 'IT'. He has thoughts and feelings too."

"Well, what is he then?" Twilight interjected.

Fluttershy paused and looked up to Jason. He knew what she was thinking.

Oh right. I never really said what I was earlier did I, or anything for that matter. Ha ha.

Kneeling down he ran his finger into the loose soil and began to spell so the others could read.

"H-U-M-A-N. Human?" Twilight looked at Jason and he nodded.

"I've never heard of them. Are there more like you?" Questioned Twilight.

Affirmative.

"Are they in the Everfree too?" Fluttershy added to the line of questioning.

Negative.

"Where are ya from then?" Apple Jack Joined in.

Jason put a finger to his chin to think of how to respond, then began to draw in the dirt. He drew a stick figure then pointed at himself.

"You." Pinkie followed along what Jason was indicating.

He then drew a big oval with curved lines around it, then a line from the stick figure to the oval and tipped the line with an arrow.

"You were sucked into a portal." pi continued.

He then drew an oblong oval and an arrow coming out of it.

"You fell out of the sky." the pink one expressed.

At that Fluttershy Gasped.

Jason waved a hand to indicate that he wasn't finished. He drew the crude shape of the lake that he fell into, then extended the line into the lake.

"Then fell into a lake." Pinkius Piecus conveyed.

Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief.

He then put his hands together, put them to the side of his face and acted like he was sleeping.

"And slept at the bottom of the lake." the cotton candy mare added.

The Group (apart from pinkie) gasped this time.

Jason drew a line out of the lake to the shore then pointed at his face.

"In the morning you went to the shore and discovered you looked completely different." Ponka pu indicated.

He closed his eyes again, gestured with his hands outwardly, made an 'ah ha' motion, then drew a small house and crude drawing of Fluttershy. Then traced the line to there, then put another stick figure next to her.

"Finally, you sensed the closest building, aka Fluttershy's house, decided to check it out, found Fluttershy, it felt familiar to when you were with your mom, cried from the kindness she exudes, pet Angel and now we're at this point." Pinkie Pie wrapped up the last little bit in a nice bow.

Jason pointed at her and his nose at the same time.

After Pinkie giggled at her successful explanation, Rarity asked. "How were you able to understand all of that, Pinkie?

Giving a look that said 'really' pinkie explained. "You're asking the party mare why she's good at Pictionary and charades?"

"Ah, point taken. So, you're from a different world then, Jason?" Rarity moved the conversation on.

Yes.

"How did you sleep at the bottom of a lake?" Rainbow posed a question.

Jason breathed in deep, exhaled, motioned like was eating and drinking then made a slashing move to his throat.

"He doesn't have to breathe, eat or drink." Ponk's explained. "But you can though, right?" she added.

He shrugged.

Not sure. Haven't tried.

"How is that even possible? Every living thing has to take in some sort of energy to continue functioning." Twilight queried.

At this, Jason pursed his lips and looked to the side not sure how to explain.

Well I'm not really alive but I'm Not really dead either. I've died, then have been brought back to life a bunch of times.

Thinking for a bit Jason reached into his coat then pulled out the book his mother kept. Letting it rest in his open hand, the pages parted to the one that brought him back to life.

He presented the book to Twilight, upon which her eyes sparkled to the thought of a book from a different world.

"This looks like a spell of some sort. 'Breath of New Life'? Are you saying this was used on you? You were brought back to life?"

He bobbed his head once.

Twilight Brimmed with excitement and was about to read from the book aloud but Jason clamped his hand on her muzzle to stop her.

he shook his head.

Don't speak it out loud. Bad things happened Last time.

"Apparently, bad things happen if you read from it aloud." Pinkie clarified.

Jason let go, then patted her on the head to apologize if he scared her. She sighed at the incredible touch as a shiver ran down her spine.

Snapping the book closed he placed it back in his inside coat pocket.

At this point, the ever-observant Jason noticed a protrusion in between his fingers as he rubbed Twilight's head. With a tilt of his head, he saw a pair of wings on her back as well.

Continuing to stroke her head softly, he looked over to Ponka for answers.

"Oh, Twilight is an alicorn which is a mix of unicorn, Pegasus and earth pony. Which also makes her a Princess. The Princess of Friendship."

Ah.

Jason pointed his free hand at Fluttershy while maintaining his pets and his gaze with Pinkie.

So Ms. Fluttershy is a what you called a Pegasus, Ms. Pie?

"That's right, but you can drop the 'Ms.' part for both are names. okay?" Pinkie replied.

Oh, okay Pinkie.

He smiled softly under his mask.

Pinkie smiled in returned.

He then brought his hand back over toward Rarity.

Then Ms. Rarity Is a unicorn?

"Ding ding ding. That's correct. Also calling her Ms. Rarity will actually make her happy so that's fine." The pink one giggled.

At this Rarity leaned in. "What? He called me Ms. Rarity. How wonderfully gentalcolt like."

Apple Jack took the chance to speak in as well. "Ya'll can just refer ta me as AJ, if'n ya like. "

"Rainbow Dash, R D or just Rainbow is fine by me." she chimed in.

He Inclined his head.

Alright AJ, Rainbow.

"He's going with Rainbow. Also, Rainbow Dash is the fastest flyer in Equestria. " Pinkie praised.

Looking over to Rainbow He tilted his head astonished.

Really? that's amazing!

There was no hint of sarcasm in his mind.

Though Rainbow took the head tilt as disbelief.

"Is he thinking I'm not!"

Pinkie Pie laughed at the miss reading. "No, He's not the type do dis somepony like that. he thinks that it's amazing silly filly!"

"Oh. ha ha. sorry about that big guy." Rainbow pawed at the ground with a hoof.

it's fine. Hard to understand the guy who can't talk, so I don't blame you.

Jason shrugged in self-defamation.

He then heard a soft breathy "Ahh." and realized he was still patting Twilight.

Oh. Sorry Twilight. It's probably not proper to pet a pony princess for this long.

He withdrew his hand. Twilight had a dreamy look on her face and barely registered anything. Finally, she gave her head a shake to clear the fog of petting bliss, then cleared her throat to continue as if nothing happened.

Fluttershy invited everypony inside to proceed with the conversation.

There was a long back and forth of dialog between the group and the newcomer.

Till the point pasts were brought up.

The group talked about their past first. How they met, what adventures they've had, friends they made and so on and so forth.

"What about you Jason?" Fluttershy turned her attention to him and asked.

His thought process was once again stymied.

This time though, he was helped by the Pink one. "OO, maybe Twilight can use a spell to show us his memories. That way we don't have to rely on Jason's drawing skills and my interpreting it back for him."

"That could work. I just need to warm up a bit." Twilight rose as her horn began to glow.

Jason withdrew a bit in worry.

I have to warn you. I've done a lot of horrific things I'm not exactly proud of. Wasn't really of the right mind per se.

"He's warning us what we will see is [T V M A] and that viewer discretion is advised." Pinkie summarized.

He nodded.

Twilight paused. "If you don't want to do this you don't have to, okay. The spell doesn't work unless your willing."

Looking about the Six of them, while he looked at Fluttershy a little longer than the others, Jason lowered his head and closed his eyes in acceptance.

You deserve to know.

Touching her horn to his head, a sphere of white light floated up, then images started to be displayed.

It showed his growing up under his mother's loving care.

The day he was teased being called a freak show.

The moment he was chased by the other children, tears obscuring his vision, as he ran down the dock.

His panicked flailing after falling into the water.

The last cry for his mother before the lake consumed him and the darkness of death.

Waking up to his mother crying over him while water spilled out of his mouth.

The happy years with his mother.

The day she came home enraged.

The only order he had ever gotten.

The people they killed.

The moment his mother was killed before his eyes.

The sorrow in the hands that reclaimed her severed head.

The blinding rage he felt.

Flashes of the ones he snatched the lives from over the years.

His multiple death's and resurrection's.

The Last 7 he killed.

The last sight of his mother in the Flames.

Hurtling into the lake in the Everfree.

Everything that he had conveyed earlier.

Then the magic faded.

Jason didn't move. He couldn't even open his eyes. He knew if he opened his eyes, he would see the horrified faces of those he spent the last few hours getting to know. That the look into his past had destroyed any and all hope of ever befriending these nice ponies. That it would be all over.

But he knew that they needed to know. That he couldn't have just lied to their faces and pretend it never happened.

He could only barely hear quiet breathing.

Then the sound of hooves meeting the floor met his ears that were craving anything but silence. they crossed the floor then came to a halt right in front of him.

His eyes screw tighter shut as he prepared for the hammer to fall. To be smacked across the face, to be called a 'Monster', to be driven out as such. Any and all scenarios played in the theater of his mind.

To his surprise that didn't happen.

Instead, he felt a warm hoof slowly caress the side of his face. Gingerly opening his eyes his vision was filled with the sight of Fluttershy's visage. To his shock, tears seemed to have stained her face, with more joining them rapidly. He looked deep into those teal pools and saw not fear, not anger, not even pity but empathy.

Biting her lower lip, she pulled him into a tight hug and nuzzled against his cheek. He froze momentarily, then placed his arms around her to accept and share in the embrace.

Ever so slowly, while rubbing her back, he looked about the room to the others. They were all in different states of tears and astonishment. Most were eyes wide and mouths slack staring where the sphere once was. Pinkie was mid stuff with popcorn in her hoof frozen like a statue, tears gushing out like twin waterfalls.

What? Why aren't they angry? Why aren't they doing everything in their power to get rid of me?

Jason was at a loss.

Twilight was the first to break the silence. "How could so many horrible things happen to one stallion?"

Wait, what?

Rainbow could only whisper. "Wow. Just, wow."

AJ pulled her hat down to try and cover her crying face. "How cruel can some ponies get? Teas'n somepony just fur the way he looks to the point he drowns." She spoke through gritted teeth.

Wait, WHAT?!

Rarity dabbed a handkerchief to her eyes with her magic. "And having to bear witness to your mother's life being snuffed out right in front of you. You poor, poor dear."

WAIT, WHAT?!?!

Jason shifted his gaze to Pinkie pie with a raised eyebrow and a look that almost screamed.

Did they not see all the people I killed over the years?! Why aren't you all appalled at what I did?! I'm a 'monster', aren't I?!

Pinkie returned his look with a look of her own. The tears that were overflowing slowed to a stop like someone was turning a valve.

"You were lost in a maelstrom of pain, anger and sorrow to the depths almost no pony had ever seen before. The last wish from your mother was to get rid of anypony who came to that place before she died. Which in turn, you died multiple times doing just that. How are you the Monster?"

Jason blinked at that answer for a bit.

"Sure, you could have done it in a better way, but they never would have listened to you. What's done is done and we can't change it."

His mind was still reeling.

"Plus, it's not like you've done anything to hurt anypony here. You had the chance to with Fluttershy, but all you did was hug her and cry. You're not planning to hurt anypony while your here, are you?

At this Jason shook his head but not hard enough to disturb Fluttershy's nuzzling.

"Then there's no problem. We are firm believers in second chances here."

Looking around to the other's, they were all in agreement.

Going back to Pinkie he gave one last questioning gaze.

Is it really okay for me to stay?

Pinkie beamed. She then got up and joined Fluttershy in hugging Jason. "Of course, it's okay."

The other four joined in to turn it into a group hug.

Overcome by The Feel's, tears welled up in his eyes as he accepted the huggage.

Thank you.

Canterlot Castle: Later that night

Princess Celestia was relaxing in her study reading a book before retiring for the evening, when a letter from her former student poofed into the room. Putting her book down she read through the letter.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I came in contact with a being from another world who wishes to seek refuge in our lands. His name is Jason, a Human. and he means us no harm. Let me know of a good time to bring him for an audience with you. Enclosed is a picture.

Signed, Twilight Sparkle.

Upon looking at the picture her eyes widen. If she could have gotten any whiter, she would have.
