"SURPRISE!"

Lazlo sat at a table in Sugarcube Corner. A new pony came to town and since it was impossible to avoid Pinkie's signature welcome ceremony, now the shop was filled with ponies and there was also space for a dragon and a human. Spike was sitting next to him, they two shared the table currently, the small reptile stuffing his face with two cupcakes simultaneously. He had two hands after all.

The man didn't know anything about this new pony. An hour ago he was cleaning his home, when suddenly Pinkie burst through his door, almost giving him a heart attack, and cursed himself mentally for forgetting to close the door. The hyperactive mare didn't even greet him just said that he has to come with her right now to the Welcome to Ponyville party for the new resident of the town and began pulling him with her.

He didn't see this pony, the crowd blocked his view but if he or she will be living here it was inevitable that they will see each other eventually.

"May I take some of those muffins?" a gray pegasus, who had a yellow mane approached their table, focusing on a plate that was still filled with muffins since both Lazlo and Spike eat only cupcakes. Lazlo recognized her, she was the mail mare, who was cross-eyed but he didn't know anything else about her, not even her name, or cutie mark, well a new thing now, that she probably liked muffins, though it could be that she's bringing it to someone else.

"Sure, I think you can take the whole plate, we can manage without it." Lacy shrugged, Spike didn't say anything, he probably didn't even notice her as he was still occupied with destroying some cupcakes while muttering about how much better would it be if they had some small gemstones on them.

As the mare tried to leave with the plate full of muffins, she was a little too eager and started moving before she could turn completely and because of this, she didn't notice Twilight, who was coming to their table and collided with her. The gray mare dropped the plate, which she held in her mouth but luckily Twilight was able to grab everything with her magic and give it back to her.

"I'm sorry, Twilight, didn't see you there." she apologized, though it was hard to understand it as she had to hold the plate.

"It's okay, Derpy, just be careful." the unicorn responded, looking at her as she walked away before sitting down at the table. "The new pony seems nice," she said to them. "You should go and introduce yourself. It's a welcome party, sitting in a corner is not a good place for an introduction, she probably didn't even notice you here. Have you even seen her?" she lectured them.

"No, but at least now I know her gender..." Lazlo commented. "Anyway, I don't want to scare her on her first day here."

"Two things. One. If this would be a real concern for you then you wouldn't even come." she began addressing his ridiculous reasoning, which seemingly came out of nowhere.

"Well, the truth is that Pinkie forced me here," Lacy told her but Twilight just rolled her eyes.

"And two. Nopony was afraid of you here, there might be ponies who are worried or scared because of your appearance here but those only know very little or nothing at all." Twilight finished her argument.

"If I recall correctly, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were afraid of me at first." he countered but in reality, he was just messing with her a little, he just said those things because they came randomly to his mind and she caught up on it by now. They shared a laugh. Lazlo was in a relatively good mood, probably because of the sugar.

"I'm happy to see you in a good mood," Twilight said to the man as she finally sat down next to Spike. Lazlo's smile disappeared, and a more neutral expression occupied his face. "But I guess, it's only temporary for now... Still, that must be the sign of healing."

"I don't know about that but I certainly don't want to live the rest of my life in melancholy. And yet..." he looked at the mare and something came to his mind. "Twilight... You are still my friend, right?" he asked and she immediately noticed how shaky his voice became.

"Of course I am! I was never really angry at you." she leaned closer and put a hoof on his arm. "Lazlo. What is this about? Is something wrong? Was it why Princess Luna wanted to talk with you?"

"In a way, yes," he answered. "She... gave me some advice."

"That's nice of her. I guess she felt she still owed you, though I'm sure she would've done it regardless." she smiled at him before realization hit her. "Do you have nightmares? It must be serious if she wanted to speak with you in person." he looked at her with a questioning look. "I asked about Princess Luna from Celestia. When she told me that you gave her the advice to help Luna and learned about how she helps others with their nightmares, I wanted to know more about it. So I asked Celestia again and she told me that Luna interrupts the nightmare, then usually listens to the pony and helps them find a solution, but usually in their dreams. She didn't tell me any concrete details, as Luna keeps all of them to herself for privacy, which is commendable in my opinion." she explained, then looked at him with a serious, yet worried expression. "You know, you can tell me about it if you want. Maybe talking about it would help you stop having them. You could talk to any of our friends. We can even go back to the library if you don't want others to hear it."

"You are right..." he spoke after just looking at her for a minute. "I don't want to talk about it. I just want to know if I can if it ever comes to that." his look seemed to take a desperate turn for a moment.

"Of course, you can! But what do you mean, if it ever comes to that? Is it what the princess told you? To talk to somepony?" she asked and the man gave her a little nod. "Then my ear is ready any time. Just please talk to me and those nightmares will stop."

"It's not stopping them, what I want the most." she looked confused at the man. "I want to prevent it become reality. That's why I don't want to talk about it. Because that would probably mean I'm too close to that." he looked away from her. "But I'm glad, that I can count on you."

"Lazlo, wh-" Twilight wanted to know more about his sudden weird behavior but she got interrupted.

"There you are, Lazlo!" Rainbow Dash was the one cutting into the unicorn's words. "How come you're so hard to notice when you stand out of the crowd even sitting?"

"I don't know, maybe you were looking too fast and according to the song, 'over two-hundred-and-twenty, you won't even notice...' or you just selectively blind..." he stated with a hint of annoyance in his voice that she interrupted their talk, even if he considered it ended, the moment was still there.

"What song?" Rainbow asked but shook her head immediately after that. "Nevermind, I'm just here to fulfill my promise and also to introduce you to our newest resident." she looked behind herself and waved her hoof at a pony.

"Wouldn't that be Pinkie's job?" Twilight whispered.

After a few moments, the new pony was standing beside Rainbow Dash, a pegasus mare. This was the first time Lazlo saw her and immediately noticed that she was unique.

At first, he thought that her head was deformed, but he soon realized that her coat, mane, and tail had the exact same color, a very light blue, somewhat lighter than Dash's coat at least. As he looked at her face, trying to create a mental line, where her body ends and her mane starts, he also noticed that her eye was also the same color. She looked really weird to Lazlo, he never saw anything like this. Ponies were very colorful, but even humans didn't have the exact same skin and hair color combo, or at least he never saw or even heard of anyone with that condition. And yet here was this pony. Aside from that, she looked like any other pegasus mare, maybe a bit slimmer she probably could be considered very fit, maybe even more than Rainbow Dash. He couldn't see her cutie mark as she was facing him.

The mare was also sizing him up, gathering every piece of information about his looks as well. She was probably very surprised as he still was the only human in this world.

"It's nice to meet you." she greeted him after she finished studying him. Her voice was similar to Fluttershy's only she lacked the shyness, that the animal caretaker had a lot, and wasn't that soft. "I've read about you in the papers and at first I couldn't believe it, but as more info came, I guess I just accepted it as truth. And now here I am speaking with you. I should feel honored. May I?" she gestured to the empty place next to him, he nodded and she happily jumped up next to him. Since the seat was meant for two ponies and as a human he was a little wider so in order for her to place her entire behind on it, she had to press herself to him.

"You know..." she continued after she got herself seated. "Rainbow Dash told me that she promised to help you get fit but she didn't have the time."

"I think, she meant that she doesn't have the patience for it..." Lazlo commented, Dash just shrugged.

"Anyway, I think I can help you, I'm a personal trainer." she continued after a chuckle, then it seemed like she just realized something. "Oh, where are my manners... I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Agile Body." she introduced herself.

"Lazlo Kis." he returned the courtesy, even if it wasn't more than a politeness at this time but at least now he knew her name. Then he thought about her offer. On Earth he always made up some kind of excuse, mostly to himself to avoid going to the gym or even doing some running outside, the most he did was take a longer route to walk home. But often this was because of his laziness, to do other stuff, like reading, playing video games, or watching stuff on the internet. But here... he had a passive income, no other work, and only books to pass time, which he was lacking since he only had those, Twilight gave to him. And since he didn't move out often, most of the time only for shopping, he found himself bored many times. So why not go on with it? People say that exercise could do wonders, not just for the body but for the mind too. And he knew that he needed to do anything at this point to get out of his current state and prevent or avoid getting back. "And sure, a personal trainer sounds good, I guess. Though I don't know how different this kind of thing is between ponies and humans," he said.

"Well, I have a few years of experience, I used to live in Baltimare and helped many ponies, so I'm sure I can come up with something for you." she sounded confident.

"Oh, you're from Baltimare?" Twilight decided to join the conversation. "What was living there like? And why did you choose to come here?" she asked.

"Oh, um... Well, I guess it's... um... I needed a change of scenery... I mean, Baltimare is a big city, lots of ponies, and can become crowded and I guess I had my fill in that and wanted to move to a quieter place." she stuttered at the beginning and seemed nervous but then turned back to her normal behavior. Lazlo thought that she was either lying or skipping something, she didn't want to talk about, he didn't really care about it, well, if she would be a wanted criminal or something like that, it would be an issue, but it didn't seem likely to him that that would be the case.

"That's understandable." Twilight seemed oblivious to the short weird behavior she had for a moment. "I'm sure you'll love Ponyville. I moved here from Canterlot not long ago and I love this town, though that's mostly because my best friends are here."

"I've got a feeling that I will, this party already makes me feel that way." Agile agreed. "So, when do you want to start?" she turned back to Lazlo.

After they agreed on tomorrow morning, Agile left them to go and talk with other ponies. She seemed nice, but Lazlo also noticed that Rainbow Dash had a look on her face, while they were talking about her job and their appointment. It was a look of mischief, maybe a little evil, like when someone is about to do a prank that can be questionable between a prank and bullying. He wasn't sure about that but it gave him a bad feeling for a moment.

The next day, he arrived at the gym a few minutes before their supposed meeting. Despite not going to one often, he knew what to bring. A bottle of water and some clothes for the workout. He didn't have any gym-specific clothes so he just brought the ones that are most close to it. He made a mental note to have Rarity make some for him if he's really serious about this.

He just finished getting ready in the stallion's locker room and at the same time he came out of there, Agile Body emerged from the mare's locker room.

"What a great timing!" she spoke the moment she noticed him. "So how about we quickly go over the necessities before we start?" she asked and after the man nodded, she continued. "Okay, so if you're serious about this and don't plan to stop after the first attempt, then here is my suggestion. I assume you plan to lose weight, right?"

"Yeah, well, replace some with muscles and getting fit, like more... agile," he answered.

"Great. What days are you available?" she continued questioning.

"Anytime, really."

"Okay. So I was thinking that maybe three or four times a week, I would suggest the latter so you can make more of the gym pass. You have one right?" he shook his head. "Okay, so we have to start with that. So, I suggest one and a half hours for every day you come, that's three bits per occasion. Is this good for you so far?"

"Sure, four days are okay." Lazlo shrugged.

"Great. Since you're available every day how about for weekdays with Wednesday as the skipped day? And we meet around this time, ten in the morning?" Lazlo again nodded. "Perfect. Now just let's get you a gym pass and we can start, don't worry I hadn't started the ninety-minute countdown yet, we will have every second of that time dedicated to your training."

After he brought a one-month pass, they were ready. Agile Body also questioned what kind of moves he knew, but he could only list the basic stuff he did in PE class in school. Luckily despite having apparent differences in body, the activities were quite similar.

His body began to tire very early since it wasn't used to exercise at all and after the first quarter hour, he was drenched in sweat. He didn't give up though, he rarely does but Agile was attentive enough too to cut back the tempo a little. During the whole training, he did different activities on a large mattress. Agile was either doing the same thing next to him or standing beside him while saying encouraging words.

By the end of it, he could barely breathe but he was determined to keep it up for the last few seconds. He was doing sit-ups and Agile was standing somewhere around his legs. His whole clothes were soaked wet from all the sweating, his head was red and his lungs were burning. He felt like passing out as he was looking at the ceiling and could barely see even that.

"Come on, Lacy! One more! If you manage to reach the treadmill, tomorrow we will use that too." she tried to push him through her words.

Lazlo didn't really understand what she meant with the treadmill but he thought that he was in such a state that he probably misheard her. With a grunt, he managed to do one more sit-up but this time his nose did make contact with a treadmill. But this one was made of fur and was placed on Agile Body's flank. Her cutie mark, the only thing that was different color on her body. He jerked back a little, falling back on the mattress, completely caught off guard as he basically headbutted, or maybe nosebutted her butt, even if it was only a barely touching kind of contact.

Agile just laughed at this, like it was some kind of joke.

"Good job! Well, this is it for today. You did great!" she nuzzled his hand, while he was still lying on the mattress not moving both because of the exhaustion and because he was still shocked at what happened. "Go take a shower, catch your breath and I'll see you tomorrow at the same time." she then left him there.

After a minute, he managed to get up and went back to the locker room, where he just changed back into his clothes as he forgot to bring a normal towel or shower gel, so he was soon out there, still not looking in the best shape, shaking a little, but still able to go home. He didn't forget to pay Agile, but he just gave her the bits without any word, after that he just said an automatic goodbye to her and left.

After arriving back home, he immediately went to take a shower, and there, he concluded that this was probably some kind of joke. She did it on purpose that one was clear as day, given how she was leaning her rump above his stomach in what seemed to be an uncomfortable position for her, and probably even the nuzzles that she started giving him in the last third of the session was part of this whole thing. He could even imagine that Rainbow asked her to do it and that was behind her grin back at the party.

"Yeah, a nice joke you little shit," he murmured as the water poured down on him.

The next day he arrived on time and more prepared, so he won't have to walk home like he just escaped from some kind of weird torture room. His muscles were still aching from yesterday but Agile was prepared for it and instructed him in his exercises accordingly. She seemed to know what she was doing or maybe she just gave a great illusion to Lacy that this training thing will work perfectly.

But now Lazlo was paying more attention to her as in looking too not just listening. He didn't do that much at first time, but what happened at the end gave him caution. He hoped that it was just a one-time thing, a little joke or some kind of prank that Rainbow came up with.

As it turned out, what happened yesterday wasn't a 'first-time gift'. Not only did he receive more nuzzles, which actually wasn't a disturbing thing. Nuzzling here has several meanings and none is more than a friendly gesture, except maybe a parent giving it to their child and vice versa, which had usually more depth to it. It's like with handshakes, pecks on the cheeks, and hugs for humans, done as a means of greeting, congratulations, or any other situation in a non-romantical meaning, done between family, friends, acquaintances, or even people at the first meeting.

Unfortunately, the nuzzles were the least of the problem. He caught her giving a few seducing looks, or even shaking her butt a little when she knew he was looking at her usually after being finished with something and waiting for further instructions. But his reaction mostly consisted of confused expressions.

After the third time, which was basically the same, he started to think that Rainbow has nothing to do with it, he didn't even meet her since the party and he was expecting her to come and ask about the training.

The fourth session started similarly with soft touches and seductive looks. He tried to ignore it but it was getting annoying, though he used that to his advantage as he couldn't take this seriously so he just rolled his eyes at it. However, when they get to a new machine, things started to get worse. It was a machine that simulated walking upwards on stairs. It was a good way to exercise but there was a problem. It was designed for quadruped creatures, not bipeds. To solve this issue, Agile offered that she will be standing on her hind legs on the front two pedals that are for the forelegs and Lazlo can use the pedals for the hindlegs and he will help hold her.

He wanted to decline but she was insistent that it was important for the training though she did promise that it won't be a long one so he eventually nodded.

It looked ridiculous but somehow they managed to position themselves correctly and began the workout. It took some time to sync their movement correctly. Still, the awkward feeling remained for the whole time as he was grasping her forehooves to keep her on her hind legs.

After they were doing it in the right way Agile continued her teasing if it could be called that. She began moving her hips more and more until she managed to bump them into his legs with almost every step. It was starting to really bother him but he kept ignoring it while trying to come up with an explanation for her behavior. But since nothing logical came to his mind his frustration grew. As they finished, she rubbed her body to his while they were trying to get off the machine. He didn't comment on this but decided to talk to her after they finished.

But his patience, which was already thin, didn't last that long. Apparently, Agile Body left all her restraints she had at home, or wherever she kept it if she had any, today. He was doing some push-ups while trying to keep himself from coughing up his lungs and enduring the pain in his arms.

"You're doing great!" he heard her in front of his head and only see a pair of hooves not far from him. "I think you deserve a little reward for your hard work," she said as her voice turned more sultry.

Lazlo then looked up, wanting to ask what she was talking about with a little fear in his mind of what she could mean. But he wasn't prepared for the sight. She was standing close to his head but it wasn't her front hooves he saw but the hind ones. His face was centimeters away from her rear end he could feel some loose strings of her tail touching his skin. However, the worst thing was that her tail was positioned just a little bit to the right and he caught a glance at something he really didn't want to.

He lived among naked ponies for months now but because of that magic thing they had to conceal themselves he never saw it before. Not like he wanted to. Animal genitalia was something that he saw occasionally but that wasn't intentional from any of the parties. Here though was the opposite. Granted he only saw a part of her hidden treasures, it was more than enough to freak him out. This time the animal was talking and sentient and was offering the view willingly and that was a thought that horrified him.

He let himself fall to the ground and then quickly stood up even though his body was already in pain as he was in there for an hour now. But this unexpected event filled him with enough energy to move away from her.

"Oh, don't be like that," she spoke while trying to close the gap that he created between them. "I know you want a piece of this, or even more." she shook her butt more as she continued to walk toward him, still her rump facing the human.

While he was shocked, his earlier frustration didn't disappear and with that, he went from retreat to attack.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" he almost yelled, his tone was just a little bit below that level. This made Agile jump a little, a complete surprise took over her previously lustful expression and she turned around so now her head was closer to the human, not her rear. "Are you some kind of pervert or what?! You were acting like this since we started but this is getting out of hand! I don't want to be a part of your fucking... whatever it is you're trying to do! I'm out!"

He got up and went to the dressing room to get changed, he didn't want to spend any more time than necessary here now, so he didn't bother to shower, just changed back his clothes and left. As he exited the room, he threw three bits toward Agile Body, who was still standing there too shocked to do anything, just when he turned his back to her and walked to the exit did she start calling after him but he didn't listen. The few ponies that were there in the gym at that time only watched this whole thing but didn't say or do anything.

When he got home, he instantly went to take a shower to calm himself down. As the water poured on his body, he tried to erase that image from his mind, but it seemed impossible. Ever since he arrived here the thought of anything sexual related to these ponies never crossed his mind, well nothing that wasn't a joke to be precise. The closest thing was when he talked about interspecies romance with Twilight after the whole Flutterhy modeling and Twilight can't keep secret incident.

At first, he thought that what Agile was doing was simple pranking. She acted normal at her party and even if there were some questioning behavior during the first three training session they had it was more or less ignorable. But today made it clear that it wasn't a prank. He wondered if she had to leave wherever she lived before, he didn't remember what did she say at the party, where she came from, because something like this happened. Was she just some kind of pervert? Or was something else behind it? He didn't really care as he didn't want to be close to her anymore. This whole thing felt very weird and somewhat wrong to him so he decided to rather avoid this problem instead of facing it. He would feel much better if Agile would be just a face that he'd seen from time to time when he walks in Ponyville because there was no way he wouldn't notice her as she would always stick out of a crowd because from afar her form would look weird with the same colored mane and coat.

The next day he decided to visit Twilight. Before this whole fiasco, he already wanted to go to her because he wanted to continue their study sessions, well more like trying to see if it would help him. He still didn't get over all of the things that happened with him learning that he's stuck here for the rest of his life, but more recently those nightmares and his talk with Princess Luna. He thought that maybe talking about his world will help him and maybe by asking Twilight for a copy of her notes, the memories of his old home won't be lost for him. Because that was all that was left for him now. Memories.

Before he could leave a knock on his door interrupted his plan. Opening the door revealed Agile Body, who stood there with a sad expression on her face. Lazlo didn't even question how did she figure out his address, she probably asked anyone who lived here and they could point her here.

"Hi, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday!" she immediately bombarded him with an apology. "Please! Let me explain!" she looked like she was about to cry now. "I promise, I won't do anything inappropriate! Just please, hear me out!" a few tears wetted her cheeks.

Lazlo wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from her. He even started feeling a little bad about his outburst yesterday, even if it was just a short one as he wanted to leave rather than stay there. He thought about it for a moment but since she seemed genuinely sorry about what happened he decided to hear her out, this decision was also helped by the fact that he the sleep cleared his mind enough to approach this whole thing more openly. He let her in and they both sat down in the living room.

"Please, understand that it wasn't my intention to act like that." she began. "I was born and raised in the Dutchy of Maretonia. After I got my Cutie Mark, I began behaving weirdly, similar to what you experienced but much worse and I had no control over it at all. My parents took me to specialists and they revealed that I have a mental illness that makes me do things like this I don't have control over it and most of the time don't even realize and remember what I did. They couldn't help me there but they said that in Equestria there are ponies who could help me so we moved to Baltimare where I got some real help. In a few years, I learned to control myself most of the time. Before that, I practically tried to seduce every stallion that I laid my eyes on, even my family members. Now when I can control myself in most situations, like in crowds, around married stallions, though only when I learn that they're married, and most of the time when I'm outside, but when I'm in an even relatively enclosed space with a single stallion, then it comes back and I lose control from time to time. That's why I moved here. I used to work as a personal trainer in Baltimare and some stallions found out about my mental illness they asked me to be their trainer which I reluctantly accepted, hoping that with my control and the crowd in that gym it wouldn't be an issue. But I was wrong. They managed to make the whole gym empty at that time and... let's just say the focus wasn't on exercising. They didn't do anything to me besides touching me there or making me touch them but it was still terrible and who knows what could've happened later. To my luck, somepony who worked there found us and saved me but after that, I just wanted to leave so after some research, I found this little town, and you know the rest." she told him her life story.

While Lazlo didn't know a lot about mental illnesses, even less about the ones in this world as that topic never came up earlier, he couldn't confirm whether she was telling the truth or not but did choose to believe her for now and will ask Twilight later, though it sounded weird. The closest thing he heard about was Nymphomania but he didn't think it was like this or how well can be treated.

"And why didn't you tell me in advance of this?" he asked the obvious question.

"I thought that since you're not a pony, it won't be a problem," she answered. "I know, I should have but I hoped that I don't have to deal with this here. The town gave me such a warm welcome, I wanted to believe that everything will be going to be alright here. Guess I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I know what I did was inappropriate but I don't want to leave this place. I grew to like it in my short time here but I also don't want to have conflicts with others. I apologize for my behavior." she bowed her head.

"If it's really a mental illness that's been behind it, then I won't hold it against you," Lazlo spoke after a minute of thinking. "I'm still not happy about it and that you didn't tell me earlier because I should have known something like this. I need some time to think about it. I won't be angry at you because of something that's out of your control but a warning would have been a must in my opinion. And you don't have to leave this place because of this." he added that last part more for encouraging her, because he really didn't want to chase her away but she might get the wrong impression.

"Thank you! And sorry again!" she moved toward him, probably to hug him but stopped and instead just left.

He sighed after he let her out and closed the door. He didn't think about the possibility of mental issues earlier, after all, it's not something he came around often. Still, Agile should've mentioned it to him the first day.

As he was walking to the Golden Oak Library he thought about what to tell Twilight and what not. The experience in the gym wasn't something he'd like to share with her so he needed to think of a way to explain how did he come up with the questions about this kind of mental illness.

Since it was the weekend he knocked on the door and Spike opened it and let him in. However, he wasn't the only visitor. Rainbow Dash was there, trying to tell something Twilight between giggles. When they noticed him entering, Rainbow lost her ability to speak as she succumbed to just laughing.

"So... how is it to have such an... enthusiastic... marefriend?" Rainbow asked him, still barely able to speak. This also confirmed what she was talking about with Twilight.

"Well, Ponyville is a small town, word get's around fast, and apparently some ponies in the gym yesterday saw what happened," Twilight said. She seemed to be somewhat skeptical at what her pegasus friend told her and was looking at him, trying to study him to confirm the truth of this gossip.

"Yeah... Village. A place where you fart and on the other end they already talking about you shitting yourself." he groaned. This description made Rainbow laugh more, Spike joined her too and even Twilight gave out a few giggles while shaking her head. Lazlo then turned to the rainbow-maned pony. "You know, you could've told me of her mental illness." This shut them up immediately. "Or was it your idea not to let me know?" he accused her. While he crossed out the possibility of Rainbow having been a part of this earlier, it came back with the new information.

"What? Mental illness?" they all asked.

"Yes, you know, the one that made her act like a whore." he said.

"Language!" Twilight yelled since Spike was there hearing this too. She turned to the dragon. "Spike, please bring me the book about mental disorders and then go up." they all heard him grumbling about how do they want to keep him out of the interesting things but complied with her request.

"I don't know anything about that." Rainbow defended herself. "I just saw her flirting a little with some stallions at the party and thought it would be funny if she'd act like this around you. It was just a prank," she explained.

"Really?" he asked, not entirely believing her, but he could imagine her doing something like this, if she didn't know about it, but wasn't sure if she would be secretive about a mental issue.

Spike returned with the book and then left them. Lazlo was almost a hundred percent sure, he will try to eavesdrop but no one addressed it, so he kept the thought to himself.

Twilight began flipping through the pages and asked Lacy to recite what happened yesterday at the gym as the ponies there only saw that Agile was acting a little like some kind of pervert would and then the man yelled at her some nasty things then they both left. Lazlo decided since the cat was already out of the bag, he told her everything. He even told her about her apology and their talk earlier today.

"I really didn't know she'd do something like this," Rainbow spoke again. "I just thought that since I promised to help you get fit. Well and the flirting but yeah..."

"Alright, I believe you! It was just a messed up situation altogether..." he sighed.

"I found it!" Twilight yelled and then began her lecture. "According to this book, she has a mental disorder called Extrasexuality, or it's referred to as Sexual Malfunction. It's a mental disorder that can cause a pony to lose control of themself and enhance their sexual behavior during that time. Most of the time they don't even know what they're doing when they're in that state and won't remember what happened. However, their brain often fills out those blank spots in their memory with things they'd normally do. It can be treated to a degree but no complete recovery method had been discovered to this day. Usually, mares develop this mental disorder most of the time during early puberty but there have been cases where it can happen when a mare learns that she can't have foals. While it's a very rare disorder, most monochromatic ponies develop it." she finished and closed the book, then put it down on a nearby table then levitated another one from a bookcase, and opened it at a marked page. "Monochromatic ponies are born with the exact same coat, mane, and eye color. Its cause is a rare genetic error when one color becomes dominant over all others. Their Cutie Marks are not affected by this as it's linked to the pony's magic and not their genes. Monochromatic ponies are often developing mental disorders, the most common is Extrasexuality." she closed this book too.

Rainbow seemed to be on the brink of sleeping, and she probably didn't understand half of the things that were said here, but Lazlo did.

"Okay, so she's not completely okay in the head," Lazlo concluded.

"Well, it seems so, but please could you use less offensive wording?" Twilight asked.

"It doesn't change the fact."

"Then what's stopping you?" she retorted. "Anyway, does that mean, that you forgive her? She wasn't in control after all."

"Of course. I won't hold anything against a person if they can't help it, but I won't change my opinion about her not telling me beforehand."

"Oh, you're finished." Rainbow suddenly spoke up. She was apparently daydreaming, or something that she didn't even notice Twilight finishing up her explanation of Agile Body's condition. Twilight groaned and shook her head. "Anyway, I gotta go, lot's of tricks to practice. See ya!" She left.

"Well, I can see your point but it's probably hard for her to talk about it." Twilight decided not to comment on Rainbow's interruption. "Still, I hope that you will remain friends and even continue your sessions in the gym. I should try to get to know her more. And maybe you could write a friendship letter to the princess."

Lazlo didn't really want to write to the princess about a friendship lesson, so he decided to change the topic. He also wasn't sure if what he had with Agile could be considered friendship, but probably some ponies here would see it that way, but he wasn't in the mood for arguing about it.

"We'll see. Anyway, I originally wanted to come here to tell you I want to continue our study sessions."

"Really?" her eyes sparkled a little in excitement. Then her expression changed. "Are you sure? I understand if you don't want to think back about your world... Though I still can continue teaching you about Equestria, if you want."

"It might not be a bad idea to talk about my world. At least my memories of my old home won't be completely lost. I want to try it."

"Alright. I'm happy to help you in any way I can. But if at any point you feel uncomfortable and want to stop it, then just say so." she then gave him a smug smile. "But don't think I'll forget about that letter to Princess Celestia. I still think you can come up with a wonderful friendship lesson and I can't wait to hear it."

Lazlo just groaned.

Author's Note

Well... damn... took too long again. I really don't want this to be the standard but my last few months were crazy. I had to travel some more and almost got stuck in Germany one time for a night (or maybe even more, I can't know that, though I would've probably solved it somehow) because of some flight cancellation, though the airline and/or my company would've helped me out then.

I hope this chapter didn't come out as too weird, as I was writing more and more lines, I started to doubt this was a good idea... Still, here it is.

On another note, I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and can spend some free time with whoever you want, however you want. I also wish you all good luck and a happy new year!

Until next time!
