Author's Note

Please tell me if this format for 'memory rewatching' is too chaotic, or hard to understand, and I'll look for another solution for that because I plan to have a few more later. I also accept ideas, if you have any.

Enjoy!

4. Last night on Earth

I just placed my bag in the trunk, next to another one, then without closing it, leaned against the car, and took my phone out, checking the message my friend sent me a few minutes ago, 'almost there' was all he wrote.

The ponies, mainly Twilight started bombarding the human with questions about what they saw, mainly about the car and the phone. Lacy gave them a short answer but promised that later he will speak more about the technology.
The human felt weird watching his memories like this. It didn't hurt, it even ended his drowsiness, but the thought that somebody got in his mind, even got access to memories, he doesn't even remember, scared him but right now he needed to trust them because he wanted to go back to his world. He knew he should be more careful but something told him, he can trust these ponies.

To be honest he was a little happy seeing all this. The ten-story, eastern europian panel buildings which housed hundreds of families in that part of the city, the parking lot full of cars, some people walking around.

"This is a panel building." he started to explain things to the ponies. "Lots of apartments, I'm living in the building which is the closest." he wanted to say a few more things, but since there wasn't a pause button in this movie, he decided to only speak a little.

As I looked around I finally saw him walking towards my direction. He was kinda skinny, about the same height as me, had short, black hair, shaved face.

"Hey, Victor!" I gave him a handshake when he finally stood before me.

"Hello!" he said to me.

I took the bag, he was holding to me, and put down next to mine, in the back of the car, then closed the trunk.

"Get in, I want to hurry!" I told him, while walking, then sat in the driver's seat, instantly starting the engine. Putting the seatbelt on, and my phone to its holder, while my friend sat in beside me.

I opened the GPS application, gave it the destination, then plugged in the cable, which I used to connect my phone to the car via an adapter since it was an older car, it didn't have a built-in computer and many stuff, only a radio which accepted CDs but I didn't have any.

I opened my music application, selected a list, then with the help of the 'Play random' button, it started the first song. I switched back to the GPS app, then a look at Victor to check if he was ready, I started the engine.

The ponies jumped a little at the sound of my car.

"What is this thing?" asked Twilight again.

"Well, it's a car. It's used to travel greater distances. Many people own at least one. It requires a driving license though." Lacy explained.

"So it's kinda like a smaller train?" asked the purple mare.

"You have trains here?" this surprised the human. The ponies nodded. "Well, that makes it easier to explain. So basically yes, a smaller train. Though it doesn't need rail, we have roads for them but technically it can go anywhere I drive it."

The ponies were fascinated by it, well most of them. Fluttershy was a little scared by it, Rainbow Dash wanted to know how fast it can go, Twilight wanted every little piece of information about it but they were shut down by the princess who asked them, to focus on watching, after all, the more seeing this, the higher the chance to discover something that can give a lead of how Lacy ended up here.

"So is he your friend?" came the next question.

"Yes, my first and oldest, true friend." Lacy simply answered.

We were soon out of the parking area and on one of the main roads that went though that went through the city. It was connected to the motorway, that I wanted to travel on.

"Thanks for waiting for me and that you bringing me there." I heard my friend beside me.

"Sure. Though I might not bring you back." I tell him while smiling.

"Would you really left me there?" he asks, playing hurt.

"Well, there's always public transportation," I say.

"Yeah, but they're expensive even with the student discount."

"Well upkeeping a car costs way more."

"But you can afford it," he says, I only nod. "I'm at college and I'm broke like almost all students."

"I can afford a lot of things because I'm working overtime almost every day and I'm lucky that the company isn't lead by a greedy asshole, and they actually pay me for all the extra hours as well.

Everypony, even the princess flinched at the bad word. Lacy just shrugged, murmuring about, how they will hear more.

"Anyway" I tried to change the subject "Have I told you about my idiot co-worker?"

"The one who went out in the snow one time searching for a polar bear after you told him that it escaped from the zoo?" asked Victor.

"Yeah, that one. A few months ago he got in another hilarious situation."

"What did he do?"

"You know these things over the road with cameras? You know which are usually for measuring the speed of the cars?" I asked after he nodded, I continued. "So not so long ago was the first time he actually saw one. Thinking it'd be funny, as he went through it, he went back and went through it again. Repeating it five times, thinking it's funny to send the police the report of the same car many times adhere to the speed limit. Well turns out the camera didn't only watch for the speed. He later got six mails, each of them is a penalty for quite some money for not wearing the seatbelt." I lost it and started to laugh really hard, Victor joined me immediately. "Half of his salary was throw out that day." I manage to say before continue laughing.

Most of the ponies didn't really understand the joke. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were laughing, Lacy chuckled at the kinda fresh memory but the others were neutral or confused.

They all were amazed by the human world. As they saw through Lacy-s memory, seeing the big buildings in the city even for a moment, Twilight started questioning again, but quickly stopped as the others shushed her, they all wanted to see and hear everything. At one time Rainbow Dash mentioned that the music was awesome. Lacy listened mostly rock and metal songs and turns out, the blue pegasus liked how they sounded. Other than that they just simply watched as they went on.

Big and modern office buildings, a stadium, communication tower, shopping center. Lacy named some of them, but and even a few words about those, the ponies didn't know about, mainly the com tower and other technology-related building.
They even were lucky to see an airplane about to land when they were close to the airport. Of course, he had to tell them about it a little.

"That thing isn't as fast as you claimed," said Rainbow Dash.

"That plane isn't for breaking speed record. It's for transport people to great distances, also it's about to land and also it's not that easy to control one, needs a lot of concentration and precision," he explained.

"By the way, I never asked who will be there," I told him. "You know?"

"Well Adam, since he's the host, we, Chris, two of Adam's old classmates David and Peter, also Davis's girlfriend Vera."
"I thought there will be more, wasn't he talking about more people?"

"Yeah, there were two more but they couldn't make it. One of them is ill, the other, I don't know."

We were now on the motorway, finally being able to go fast, I step on the gas. I was soon around the speed limit. Luckily there wasn't big traffic, only a few cars. I glanced at the GPS. It wrote that forty minutes to the destination. After a few minutes of silence, Victor decided to speak again as we passed an exit.

"You know what happened to that woman who came on here against traffic? You know the one you saw," asked Victor.
"Crazy lady..." I murmured. "Didn't you read the news?"

"No, you told me, I checked then but there wasn't anything about it then, and I kinda forgot about it later."

"Of course there wasn't anything about it. I called the police, after that, I called you. Anyway, that idiot apparently wanted to die before one day of goddamn Christmas. I found some stuff on the internet about her. Had some kind of problem with her family, she got depressed, sits in the car, and decides the best way to end her life is go and endanger others, cause an accident. And the best part is, she survived but the guy she collided with wasn't that lucky. She's in the hospital but will be in jail probably. I really hope she'll suffer for long. That crazy bitch. If she wanted to die so badly there are faster methods that don't affect anybody who doesn't know her, like rope, blade, jumping down from a bridge, etc. And the worst is that if I would have decided to depart a few seconds later back then, maybe it'd have been me she collided with and believe it or not, dying is something I'm not fond of."

"Could've fooled me." Victor comments.

"Well I know a joke about this stuff every time, like everything else, you know I almost got fired for making a suicide joke a day after somebody in the company decided to end his life."

"Yeah, you told me about that. You really should control yourself sometimes."

"You know I joke about everything. I'm morbid and cruel and anything else people like to say the likes of me but there is a thing called freedom of speech, which means I can say anything I want, I can joke about anything I want."

"That doesn't mean you cannot restrain yourself in certain situations. But since you don't do that and because of other things you did, you are a horrible person." I don't see, but I'm sure he smiles the whole time.

I chuckled a little, then my right hand moved to his direction in a form of a fist and pretended to hold a microphone.

"Tell me, Mister, how does it feel to be a friend of a horrible person?"

"It's actually funny when you're not morbid or dark," he answers me. I can't help but smile.

Everypony was shocked. Even the princess showed discomfort.

"This is horrible," Twilight commented. "Why would anyone try to take their own life?"

"It's certainly interesting," Celestia added. "I can understand now what you meant about not being yourself. Although I must ask. Do things like these happen often? Because even now I can't imagine you being so careless about something like this."

"Many people die every day not only because of old age. There are many illnesses we cannot cure, wars, murders, accidents, suicide. We kinda got used to it, hoping it won't happen to us or those who are close to us." Lacy just realized that his tone was as cold as he was in the memory. That meant it helped to restore his personality, although not fully. Feelings about being nicer and more helpful were still dominant. That could only mean that something was messing with his head.

Sadly he didn't know who or what to blame. It wasn't the ponies' fault, since he felt it when he woke up and it didn't seem possible that these fillies could do something like this. He had to learn more about this world, maybe ask for help to find out.

Ask for help... This was something else, he tried to avoid as often as possible, and he had reasons for that. He gladly helped others, even accepted it sometimes, but rarely ever asked for it. Of course, now he didn't have any other choice, so mind change or not, he needed somebody who can get him back.

"Has it happened in yer family?" Applejack asks.

"Not really, nothing lethal. A few things that sent someone to the hospital, but always came home in one piece." he shrugged. He didn't speak often about his family.

Other reactions were all similar. This one little story hit them so hard, Lacy started to wonder if it's a good idea for them to continue watching. After all, he didn't even remember most of the things they talked about at the party.

"So what did you got this year?" I asked my friend while glancing at the GPS for a moment to check how far was it. Around half an hour.

"Got some alcohol, a new headset, some money, and a ticket for the next Formula-one weekend here. Or at least I will get it as soon as the ticket store opens. Which reminds me... Do you want to join this year?" he asked, with some hope in his voice.

"Yeah sure. Not really following the races but sounds good."

Lacy could see in the corner of his eye that Rainbow started to concentrate more after hearing the world race but that only last when she realized there won't be much talk about it.

"What about you?" Victor asked.

"Got some quality drinks as well, grandpa really outdid himself this year. Got one drawing from each of the kids. Also two books. Oh and got a real surprise this time. My grandparents decided to make an album together. Of course, my parents helped them to collect the photos."

"Well family's not that bad after all huh?" he mocks me a little.

"I never said that they're bad! I'm only on bad terms with my mother, and at Christmas, we have a truce." I tell him.

"Wait, so they're not mad at you? I thought that was the reason, you rarely visit them." Victor asks, a little confused.

"Man, you have shitty memory... I told you many times, only my mother was and still angry at me. Father and my grandparents forgave me almost immediately after I told them." I'm irritated now.

"Sorry, I always forgot." he apologies, I just roll my eyes. "But after all, you did lie to them for more than a year, so I think it's a valid assumption."

"Hold on a second" Applejack interrupts the rewatch. "You lied to yer family? What in Tartarus?" It wasn't just her, the others murmured similar sentences, just to quiet so the human didn't understand them.

"I had my reasons." Lacy simply answered.

"What is a good reason to lie yer own family?" the orange pony was really angry about it and Lacy was confused, but since he hated to talk about it his anger rose up pretty quickly.

"It's not your business!" he replied harshly. The orange mare was taken aback a little by this, but her stubbornness remained.

"It still is a wrong thing," she said.

"Yeah, well you don't know anything about my family so I don't think you should lecture me about it." He states, trying to calm himself.

"And how can we be sure, what yer told to us was true?" came the next, logical question.

Lacy only grunted but didn't answer.

Applejack didn't tell him anything else because everypony wanted to continue watching the show, but Lacy got the feeling, that she won't abandon it.

Nopony comments anything else. They just watching and listening to the memory movie. Not much happened on the road. They already started to get boring of the same view, the simple but pointless talk which was full of words and expressions they didn't understand, and since the music wasn't favorable for everypony, that wasn't a good distraction either.

Finally, the time came when they exited the highway, and soon they were in a small town. There weren't any large buildings, only the church rose above the houses and shops. The ride didn't last long. Soon they were at the edge of the town.

I parked the car on the lawn before the fence. We both got out of the car, and went to the back of it, to take out our stuff. I had two bags in my hand, Victor took out his own. After closing the car, we went to the gate and pressed the ring button. Soon came Adam to let us in. He was tall, really tall, I only reached to his shoulder.

"Finally! Took you long enough." he welcomed us.

"Hello to you too!" I said. "You know how it is. It's Victor we have to wait for, as always." My friend beside me just gave an unamused grunt. "Anyway, I brought some fruit juice and the tools for our 'magical battles'."

"Magical battle?" asked a really confused Twilight. "Didn't you tell me there isn't magic in your world?"

"We don't have. There is a firework, called Roman Candle. It is a barrel, which shoots little objects that'll burn in the process. It's glowing the whole time. Though this description might not be right, you'll see it later. The point is, that we shoot it at each other."

"Isn't that dangerous?" Twilight continued the questions.

"It is a little, but so far there wasn't any problem, even when we hit another." Lacy shrugged.

As we stepped inside the house, we put down the stuff we don't need, like my wallet, phone charger, etc. Then with the other things, we brought, we exited the house and went to the building in the back of the property. It was a garage, but there was old kitchen furniture installed there, with a tap and also a little room with a toilet inside. There was also a table with a hi-fi set. It was connected to Adam's phone and the music was already playing. I said hi to the others, then I took out of the alcohol and placed them on the counter next to the others. There was some wine, beers, ciders, and some stronger stuff. As I took out the last bottle from the bag, I immediately opened it. Adam was beside me with glasses. I began pouring the transparent liquid.

Lacy viewed the last people he met, before appearing here. Adam was the tallest, almost two meters tall. The others were all around the same height as Lazlo. Chris was skinny, just like Victor, he also wore glasses and had very short, black hair. There was also Peter, who had light brown, curly hair and a big beard. He also had glasses and was a bit overweight. David was the only one who seemed to have some muscle since he went to the gym pretty often. He had short, dark-brown hair. With his shaved face, he was the most handsome in the group. Vera, his girlfriend was kinda short, but fit, since she was a handball player. Her brown hair was long and left free.

"What's that?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"That is a brandy made by fruit," Lacy answered.

"Why do you pour it into those small glasses? Aren't there any bigger ones?" came from Twilight.

"There are, but these kinds of stuff are strong alcoholic drinks. Just watch, you'll see."

Each of us had a glass in our hands.

"Cheers!" said some of us and drank the liquid in one gulp. And it hit us.

"Not bad," Chris commented. "Is it apple?" he asked.

"You got it," I answered. "It is what I got for Christmas from my grandpa this year. It's fully made by him. From planting the trees years ago to bottling up the finished product."

"How strong is it?" asked Vera.

"Forty-nine degree," I stated.

"Degree?" asked a really confused Twilight.

"Well, we use it for stronger alcoholic drinks. It's basically the percentage of alcohol in those liquors."

"You mean, that that drink you all took down in one gulp was almost half alcohol?" asked Rarity. Lacy nodded. "Forgive me but that is really strange. The strongest alcoholic drinks we have are wines but that only has a maximum of fifteen percent of alcohol."

"It's really good, and keeps me healthy," Lacy commented. The others shoot him a questioning look but didn't speak up.

Everyone was focused on watching as Adam, David and Vera brought the food and the dishes. There was a long table in the small building. As the plates and the silverware were placed, everyone sat on the benches, which had the same length as the table.

Despite they said, that they won't judge Lacy for eating meat, some ponies turned away, disgust on their faces as they saw several types of meat meals. Fluttershy even fainted, when she learned that it was chicken and pig. Rarity was about to throw up, Applejack not faring better. Pinkie Pie didn't seem disgusted, rather sad for the poor animals. Rainbow Dash handled it without showing any sickness, since she had a griffon friend, who is a carnivore, though she was never fond of seeing her eating meet, it didn't bother her much after a time. Twilight watched it curiously, even took some notes about it. Celestia didn't even change her expression. She even had to try various meets, when was away on a diplomatic meeting. She hated the feeling and her stomach didn't handle it well but she survived it so it wasn't new to her either.

After they ate, while drinking ciders and beers, of course, they cleaned up the table, the dishes were taken back to the house and they set up for beerpong. Since Lacy new what's going to happen, he explained the game to the ponies, though only half of them listened, the other half was still recovering from the sight of meat-eating.

"How much?" I asked, with a plastic cup in my right hand and a can of beer in my left.

"Half I think," Adam responded, who was my opponent. "I'd say more, but we don't have that much beer here, since somebody forgot his promise!" he yelled then shot a glance to Peter, who just shrugged.

After the plastic cups were filled and placed, we began the first game. I got the ball and tossed it but it only bounced off on the edge of one of the cups. Now it was Adam's turn. The others were all watching and comments all of our missed shots

Several try later, it was Adam, who finally tossed the ball into one of my cups.

"Nice," I simply said, then drank the whole content in one go. "Man, this isn't beer, it's horse piss! What kind of shitty beer is it?" I gave my opinion.

"The cheapest." Chris answers.

"Well... fuck. Were they paying you just to get rid of this thing?" I ask, still not happy about the quality of the drink.

"What? You rich ass, can't take some consumer product? Only go for the premium, craft beer?" Chris teases me.

"Fuck you too! Next time buy the second cheapest stuff!"

The ponies are still not happy about the cursing but some of them liked the concept of the game. Fluttershy finally woke up, Rarity and Applejack seemed like, they're over the dinner scene. That meant, all of them saw Lacy losing in beerpong to Adam. While Victor and Chris got ready for their match, David, Lacy, Peter, and Vera, decided to play darts. They were all drunk at this point, so their aim wasn't good, but most of the throws got them scores.

Until midnight there weren't many activities. After a few beerpong games, they were almost out of beer, so they started drinking the wines beside the cider. There were only a few darts matches as well. Adam brought in a few board games from the house, so they started playing those. They also sometimes just formed little groups and started talking about stuff, mostly about their time at the university, work, or 'things of the world' which mostly meant politics.

From these talks, ponies got what Lacy meant about his personality. In the memory, they got, that he didn't really care about humanity, he despite his own kind. Since ponies weren't familiar with anything from Earth, the names, places, events, and times didn't tell them much but a few words could give them contexts, like war, revolution, murder, etc.

As the time got near to midnight, everyone got a plastic cup and Adam filled each one with champagne. The music was changed to a radio station, which belonged to the government. They stood in a circle and began to count from ten.

As they reached 'one', then they stood still and the radio began to play their national anthem. They all stood still and sang with it.

"What is it? Why don't we understand it?" asked Twilight but this time from Celestia and not Lacy.

"This is the anthem of my country, I cannot translate songs, but it doesn't matter." gave Lacy the answer.

"Anthem?" asked all of them.

"Yeah, I think every nation has a national anthem, but I can't tell you much about them. Also what we do now isn't common either, at least I think not, it's just a thing we do, but nobody else I know did this ever."

After the anthem ends, they all raise the cups, then began drinking its content. After they finished, they all put on jackets, and with the fireworks and a few lighter, they go out.

We got out in the open. Since the house was on the edge of the town, on the other side of the road, there weren't houses, but fields. We could already see various fireworks in the sky as many people started shooting them. We watched it for a while but then started to get ready for our fights.

"We have four lighter, so four people, everyone on their own," Adam told the rules. I nodded, then took one of the lighter, and one roman candle. The others were Chris, Victor, and Peter.

We get some distance from each other. When we were all ready, we began the battle. I lit the fuze on fire, the others did the same. Soon the first glowing shots began to fly to every direction someone was.

"What are those Harry Potter magic word shits?" asked Peter rather loudly.

"Capitulatus!" yelled Chris.

"Avada Kadevra!" I shouted. "Or something like that..." I added quietly.

There were ten shots in each barrel, two were already out, without hitting anyone. The third thought, it hit Victor, who was the closest to me, on his side. I saw light in my right peripheric view and leaned back just in time to see as a glowing projectile flying before me. Peter almost got a headshot. I then feel something hitting my left leg. Victor got me back. The next few shots are all missing, I try to get Peter and Chris, but without any success. I already lost count of how many shots I have left, probably only two or three. I see Victor hitting Chris on the head, Peter trying to do the same with me, but the projectile didn't even reach me. I aim and the next shot hits his left shoulder. Then one more projectile disappears into nothing, then I'm out. The others all trying to hit someone with their last shots. Peter gets hit by Chris, but that's all.

We walk back to the others, putting the used barrels to the ground, near the unused ones.

"Who wanna go next?" Adam ask

"This was fun!" Pinkie said.

"I don't know darling," Rarity adds her own comment. "Seemed a little barbaric to me."

"It was awesome!" Rainbow gave her opinion.

"Are you sure it was harmless?" asked Twilight.

"So far there weren't any accidents or other problems. When it hits our clothes, we barely feel it, hitting a skin isn't painful either. I guess, if it'd hit our eyes, that'd cause some inconvenience but the chance to hit it with this is small." Lacy explains to them.

They watching the other battles, but soon they run out of fireworks and start to head back with the empty barrels to the garage. After they got back the party didn't continue on the same degree. Everyone looks wore down a little.

"Soon it'll be over." Lacy states.

I sitting at the table, I bottle of cider in my left hand, with my other hand holding my head, I must look tired. The others are out there, smoking cigarettes, or just talking with them. I didn't go out, I have the smell of those things. Victor comes in and sat beside me.

"What's up?" he asks.

"Tired." I simply say.

"Still has the sleeping problems?"

"It was rare sleeping for more than four hours in the past weeks."

"You really should go to a doctor, it may be some kind of illness. Or at least buy some sleeping pills."

"I won't use pills! And I'll survive without doctors as well. I just feel like shit sometimes. That's all."

He doesn't say anything to that, which is surprising, he usually doesn't give up, even if it's clear, that he's wrong. I just sigh.

"Sometimes I feel like it was my fault mostly?" I start thinking aloud randomly.

"Huh?" Victor raises his eyes. "What?"

"My mother... Anita... Stella... Anna... With my exes, I don't think, but what about mom?" Victor is the only one, who knows the full story of what really happened, between me and Erika, my mother.

"Both of you are stubborn. I'm not judging you man, but I think you went too far."

"We had another fight after Christmas. It was intense. Isn't it funny though? I told you every time, how much I hate people who are so stubborn, yet I can be just like that sometimes, and I'm also still friends with you. Kinda hypocrite..."

"You just can't come out with women. Maybe it's your repulsive personality." he tries to ease the mood, but without success. I just give a sad sigh. His face changes. "You've been thinking about it as well right?"

"I don't care right now, if I'll find another girlfriend, or if I'll ever come to terms with my mom. I fear, that I'll lose, my two little sisters as well."

Lacy's eyes water up at the memory. He feels something cold touching his right shoulder. He looks there, seeing, that Twilight put one of her hoofs on him. Soon joins Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, then even Rainbow Dash and Applejack, at last, Princess Celestia puts one of her wings over him. He sees, that most of them shed a few tears. He doesn't know how to react to it, wasn't used to this kind of comfort, so he just waits till the moment passes. Soon the limbs were taken back, but as he looks around, still saw them giving him encouraging smiles.

"I'm going to sleep. Not want to bitter the mood more and maybe it'll last longer." I get up and start walking out of the garage, towards the house.

"Night!" Victor says to me and goes back to the others. They spot me, all of them saying 'Good Night', I gave them a nod, then goes inside the house.

I walk towards the stairs. When I reached upstairs, I look around. There is a big space, a billiard table in the middle, a few sofas at the walls, and five doors. One leading to the bathroom, one is Adam's room, one is Adam's brother's room, one is for their parents, and one guest room. They said we could use any of it, they even set up camp beds, so everyone will have something to sleep on. I could've chosen any bed since I'm the first up here, but instead of that, I just laid down on a sofa and let sleep take over.

After seeing his eyes closing, the princess stopped the spell.

"Everything seemed normal to me," Lacy said before anyone could ask anything. "Didn't see anything that could've caused my arrival."

"Sadly, I didn't see or hear anything that can be identified as a portal, or a spell either," Celestia informs him.

"So what now?" Lacy asked, trying his best to look calm, but inside he was panicking.

There weren't any leads as to how he got here, and it's wasn't hard to deduct that it'll make things even harder.

"I have to go back to Canterlot now. I neglected my duties and have to catch up. Don't worry, Lazlo, I'll look for a way to send you back to your world. Until then, I hope my little ponies will welcome you here."

"Of course Princess." Twilight bows a little.

"What do you want in exchange?" Lacy asks the princess who gives him a questioning look, just like every other pony. "I'm thankful for your help, but I know that nothing is free," he explains.

"Make some friends." she simply says. "It will take a while until, so you will stay here a while. I'm sure with friends it will be easier and my faithful student will learn more about friendship too."

"A while huh?" Lacy murmurs. "Can I look for a job or something? I don't want to be a freeload, and I don't have anything with me. Should I fill some kind of form, or how does it work. If it's possible at all."

"You don't need to do any of that, don't worry. I'm sure, my little ponies will help you with that too. But if it eases your mind... Spike, write down what I'm dictating please." Everyone turned to the purple dragon surprised, who was there all along, a little further away.

"We didn't even notice you!" Twilight said rather loud.

"Figures..." Spike giving everyone a deadpan look, then took a paper and a quill.

"I, Princess Celestia hereby granting the human, Lazlo Kis temporary citizenship of Equestria until further changes." she took the paper, summoned a quill and signed it, then made magically copied the document, giving the original to Lacy, who took it out of her golden magic aura. Warm filled him, as he got in touch with her magic and the feeling stayed with him after she let go of the object.

"Farewell everypony! I hope we will see each other soon!" with that she left the building, while everyone bowed then took off to Canterlot.

"I guess, I can take it as a vacation or something." Lacy starts speaking after the alicorn was out of their sight. "Though I truly need to find something to do and can give me some money."

"Don't worry, we will help you! Right girls?" Twilight asks, the others nod in agreement.

"How about we go have lunch together? My treat." Rarity offers. "Then please come with me to my boutique, so I can have your measurements, and make some clothes. Wearing the same thing day after day is a crime against fashion!"

They all left the library and starts walking in the town towards a restaurant.
