As the two leave the area Twilight can't help but feel intrigued by the truck and how it worked but knew it wasnt the right time to bring it up so she sat quietly as Hunter took them back to his place.

"Twilight im sorry you had to see me in that state." Hunter says his voice sounding like that of someone who is just waiting for the end.

"its ok, I just wanted to know that you weren't I had to be sure, and if you need to talk to someone I'm more than willing to listen, that goes for the princess's and all my friends."

Hunter glances at Twilight finding her eyes start to tear up but quickly looks back at the road.

"Twilight look there's no need to cry alright I'm fine ok, and its great to finally meet you even though finding out your actually from another world just blew my brain out the water." Hunter says with a light chuckle and grabbing her hand to try and cheer her up. Twilight looks up to him and smiles softly returning the gesture with a tightening of her own hand happy that her friend hadn't done anything stupid to get hurt.

"Hunter I'm... I'm so..." Before she could finish Hunter cut her off with a wave of his hand.

"Twilight don't... just don't its not your fault and there is zero reason for you to be apologizing right now."

"that's where your wrong! I WASNT THERE FASTER TO HELP YOU IN YOUR TIME OF NEED... do you know how much that has eaten at me over these past two years?"

'sigh' "Twilight there was nothing you could do to stop me from doing what I have done so far."

"Hunter what are you talking about?" tears starting to brim at her eyes again.

"don't worry about it ok... just... try and get some sleep its gonna be an hour or two before we get back." Hunter says as he pulls onto the highway putting a significant boost of speed into their movement, something twilight wasn't used to as she grabs onto anything that she could hold onto. As twilight has an internal freak out from being pushed back into the seat Hunter grabs her hand calming her down as he speeds down the dark road. Twilight calms down just enough to get her eyes to close as she slowly drifts to sleep.

2 hours later

Twilight is startled to the waking world as she feels the truck bounce side to side, looking around she notices they had pulled onto a dirt road. looking over to Hunter she finds him still holding her hand as he maneuvers the pitch blackness of the road going into the woods.

"Where are we?"

"About 5 mins from the house." he says not taking his eyes from the road.

Twilight takes the time to look around the cab of the truck, as she scans she finds that the dash has a somestuff on it but cant tell due to the darkness as she looks into the back she finds three long objects going across the back of the two front seats and some stuff in the back that seem to be covered with a blanket, finding nothing else in the back she brings her attention back to the front in-between her and hunter sits a box of some sort with a cup in on of the holes in front of it, the box has some wood forming rails keeping the things inside it from sliding every where. in front of the two holes a large metal poll will a ball on it is attached to the floor.

'I wonder what all this stuff is I'm guessing the poll helps move this thing since I saw him moving it back and forth when we started the ride.' Twilight thought to herself.

"Hey Twilight do you guys have electricity there?"

"Yes... Why?"

"Just wondering, kind of planning what I wanna take with me."

"Oh ok what did you wanna take?"

"Well I wanna take my phone, tv, and my game system, I'm gonna bring a few other things but those were one of the things I'm worried wouldn't have worked if I did so I wanted to ask."

"Ok well I don't see a problem with that and if you want you can bring this thing I can convert it to run off of magic or make more of what ever it runs off of with a duplicate spell that is if you want to bring it."

"You can duplicate liquids?"

"Yes its not that complicated, I would just need a liter or so of said liquids so I can get a decent amount to work with."

"um thanks Twilight it would make going long distances and moving things a lot easier with this girl." Twilight looks at Hunter with an eyebrow raised at his statement.

"This things a mare?" Hunter chuckles a bit at that.

"no not really humans like to personify things that aren't living." Twilight ponders that for a moment before looking back to the road that they are going down.

"Here we are." As hunter says this they pull up to a 2 story house with a large porch in the front and stairs going to the second floor on the back side of the house. before she realized what was going on hunter had opened the door offering to help Twilight out of the truck.

"Thank you Hunter" She says taking his hand as she jumps out of the truck. looking around she finds a barn of to the left of the house and some more stuff inside but its to dark for her to see anything. on the right side leads off into the woods that surround his house. the house its self looks nothing like what she was used to much bigger than anything in ponyville but its closer to some of the nobles homes in canterlot if she had to guess. the house was white in color and the front door was a dark brown. Hunter unlocks his door offering Twilight to head inside first.

Upon entering his home she was greeted by the scent of burning wood and something she wasn't sure of, going further into the house she finds a kitchen leading to a dinning room and Livingroom, there's a door leading from the kitchen but its shut. Walking into the dinning room a hallway breaks off into 5 rooms a bath room two rooms, a closest, and stairs heading down to the bottom floor. looking into the living room she finds a large couch next to a bay window overlooking the field and woods outside. Along the wall she finds a fireplace and next to it is a large tv and black metal shelves below it with and two boxes sitting on top with some weird looking controllers below four of each kind varying in color. A door leading to another bedroom stands next to the tv. Twilights brought out of her thoughts when she hears a beep and finds Hunter grabbing one of the controllers and turning on the tv. When Hunter sits down he looks at Twilight.

"If you want you can sit down or you can go lay down in one of the guest bedrooms if your tired."

"Oh that's alright I think ill just sit out here with you for awhile." She says as she takes a seat next to Hunter. Watching Hunter maneuver through the menu on his tv her attention is brought back to him.

"Do you want to watch a movie I got plenty of them on here." Twilight looks back to the tv looking at the large selection of movies that hunter has.

"what is it exactly?"

"Its a PlayStation 4 and the other one is an Xbox one X"

"Huh sounds similar to the ponystation and pbox that we have back home."

"Weird that you guys would have something so similar."

"I blame it on being the way parallel universes are setup." She says looking at all the movies while he scrolls.

"Makes sense so anything catch your interest?"

"Um you can choses something I'm not well versed in your movies as you can see." Twilight say gesturing to her self.

Hunter chuckles at that. "Yea I guess your right about that alright how about a comedy called Man Of The House?"

"What ever you think sounds good Hunter." With that Hunter selects the movie and hits play.

As the two watch the movie Twilight cant help but feel sad and angry at her self for not being there for Hunter even though he says she shouldn't be, as she is thinking about this she glances over to Hunter to find he had fallen asleep next to her. 'I swear Hunter I promise to be a better friend to you from this day forward you wont be alone anymore.' with that final thought Twilight leans her head against his shoulder and falls asleep.

The next morning Twilight wakes up laying on the couch with a blanket covering her, looking around she doesn't find Hunter in the room. Twilight sits up stretching out her arms and legs, getting up from the couch she makes her way to the kitchen finding a note on the counter.

~ Twilight sorry for not waking you up but you seemed like you needed the sleep I made some food and put it in the fridge for you when your done eating ill be down stairs or out in the barn somewhere. ~

With food in mind she makes her way to the fridge opening it she finds a plate of food and another note. ~sorry if it isn't enough I wasn't sure what all you can eat or were willing to try so I just made something simple I thought you might like.~ Taking the plate Twilights finds it was a lettuce tomato and cucumber sandwich with kohlslaw on the side. After eating, and cleaning her plate she goes to find Hunter heading down the stairs.

When she reaches the bottom she finds a door leading to a laundry room with a pantry and two fridges at the far end of the room, going down the hall and through another door she enters another kitchen with an island separating the dinning room and a counter separating the kitchen from the living room. In the living room Twilight finds a large tv against the wall sitting in a entertainment center with more consoles sitting below it a door is off to the side of the tv leading to a bedroom. walking around the island going into the dinning room Twilight finds a hall leading to another room with the door shut, next to the hall is a door leading to a bathroom, along the wall adjacent the island is a sliding glass door leading out side to the field. on the other side of the dinning room there's a door open with the light on taking a chance on him being there Twilight walks into the room.

"Hunter are you in here?" twilight says looking around the room, she doesn't find Hunter,but she does find a sort of office like space with a weird contraption with a lever sitting on a desk along the wall boxes of small brass objects varying in size sitting on the desk and in the cupboards above it. along the other wall she finds a safe, a locker, and more cupboards. not finding Hunter any where she heads out of the room and through the sliding door in the warm summer air. Looking around Twilight cant help but admire the scenery that surrounds the property.

"It really is beautiful here." She says to herself. looking around she spots Hunters truck sitting down at the barn with the front of it open, spotting Hunter walk away from it and into the barn. Walking down to the barn she gets a better look at Hunters truck. Its a good height off the ground black in color with black wheels with a shinny front and a large piece of metal on the front and a hook connected to a cable 'Maybe some kind of pully system' https://truckrvlist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/756966.jpg

As Twilight makes her way closer to the barn Hunter walks out with a large piece of metal in his hand. He was wearing a white short sleeve t-shirt blue jeans and his boots from last night, his shirt was covered in black smudges same with his hands, arms and a few spots on his face. Hs black hair looking like he just got out of bed beads of sweat rolling down his face and well toned muscles.

"Morning" Hunter says bringing Twilight out of her daze, a slight blush coming through her coat as she looks away from Hunter.

"G... good morning Hunter."

"Did you eat?" Hunter asks as he climbs onto the front wheel leaning over the open front.

" Yes I did thank you for making me something to eat. Um what are you doing and what is that thing your working on?" She asks leaning in closer to get a good look at the inside.

" Just putting some work in on the ole girl new brakes, shocks, I replaced all the important fluids and all I got left now is to install the new turbo and tune the thing."

" You did all that in the span of a morning?"

" I wish no I was up since 530 its about 230 in the afternoon now you've been sleeping all day."

"WHAT! OH NO OH NO OH NO! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE YOU STILL HAVE TO PACK!"

"Whoa whoa calm down I'm already packed just need to put this turbo in and tune it and then we can go."

"Oh um well do you know how much longer its gonna take to finish?"

"45 minutes to an hour. If you want you can go look around or you can just watch whatever floats your boat."

1 HOUR LATER

Twilight was sitting in the truck watching Hunter mess with some sort of computer going through diagnostics on the truck making sure everything was running right, every so often she would have to look away to get her blush down, not knowing that Hunter was glancing at her every so often when she would look away her embarrassment putting a small smile on his face.

"Alright that about does it let me load something into the back and we'll be good to get the rest of my stuff and we can go." As Hunter heads back into the barn Twilight wonders what it is he would have to grab from there when he comes back out with ramps, and set them onto the back of the truck before heading back in. Twilight was about to go see what he was grabbing when she hears a loud rumble coming from inside the barn before she could go see what was happening Hunter come out on another 4 wheeled contraption.

"What is that thing?!" Yells Twilight as Hunter rides it up the ramp stopping it once it was all the way in the bed.

"This is a 850 Kawasaki ATV. I use it to get places my truck cant and working in the field or out in the woods."

"Oh ok then and why are you bringing it?"

"You never know better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it am I right." Hunter says as he straps it down.

'Well he does have a point thinking ahead I like that.'

"Alright ready to head back to the house to get the rest of my stuff?"

"Yea we should probably do that." The two take the truck back up to the house so Hunter can load what he has packed into his truck before leaving his house for the last time.

Hunter didn't take much a box of clothes his ps4 xbox tv loading station any ammo for the few guns he plans to take and his laptop and any chargers that he would need for his laptop and phone.

"Oh shit almost forgot." Before Twilight could say anything Hunter runs down to the barn and comes back out with two cans of gas and diesel then going back for any other fluids that he would need so Twilight could duplicate it for him.

"Are you ready now." Twilight says giving him a smirk.

"HeHe uh yea im good ready when your are."

"OK then hold on the first time normally sucks for none unicorns or alicorns."

"Am I gonna need a bucket" Hunter says with a nervous chuckle.

"No but you will feel dizzy."

"Alright, lets get moving." With that Twilight focuses her magic around them and the truck, and before anyone could blink they were gone in a flash the only thing left behind was a smoking charred spot on the ground where the truck was sitting.
