I was standing next to Henry, the first person treated me like just another person. Henry smiled “Come with me.” I followed him, there was a small unpolluted pond with ducks. I sat down next to the bench he sat down on “Even with Eggman's pollution, some places remain untouched. There is beauty everywhere, if you just look for it.”

I smiled holding out one of my tentacles, the duck looked at it before paddling away. I turned to Henry “Maybe you’re right.” I laid back on the bench, the bench cracked collapsing under my weight.

Henry frowned “That bench must be pretty flimsy, you laid on me and my bed. It didn’t break.”

I winced “I mean, I weigh almost a ton. Just look at me, I giant mass of flesh and bone.”

I felt myself being lifted off the ground, I looked at Henry who was carrying me in his arms. He smiled “Let’s go for a run.” The world seemed to pass by so slowly, is this what he experiences as he runs. I felt slightly heated, I have never had a male carry me like this before. They all screamed in terror, I have pretended to be a human a few times but they didn’t love the real me so we drifted apart.

I rubbed my tentacles together “Um, Henry. I would like to go on a date with you, you are the first person to look at me in my true form without disdain. I would like to have date with someone who accepts the true me, even if it goes nowhere. I will cherish the memory.”

Henry shrugged “I don’t see why not, I have never been on a date before. Besides, you’re nice and smart. I enjoy hanging around you.”

I smiled “Thanks, that’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me.” I then looked around “Where are we going?”

We stopped, Henry looked around for a bit before smiling “I have an idea but we need to stop back at the base first.” Henry turned around darting back to the base in seconds, he let me down for a moment. He placed a hand on the ground, a huge blue S symbol formed under him.

I frowned as he picked me up again “What is that?”

He shrugged “It’s a marker, telling me how to return to this universe. Now then, I’m taking you to the one which I came here from.” Before I could say a word, he rushed off at speeds that I thought were impossible. Then we stopped just as suddenly, we were standing on a HS symbol similar to the S one he made before.

The sound of screams filled the air, he lowered to the ground “Relax. Camie is a friend of mine. She means no harm, I promise you.”

Several ponies pointed at me “How can she not mean harm, she has so many mouths! All filled with razor sharp teeth! How can you be friends with that!”

Before Henry could reply, an orange earth pony wearing a stetson approached. She glared at them “Ya are doing the same thing we used to do to Zecora. Ah thought we learned not to judge others by their appearance. Besides Henry vouches for her, he is a hardworking individual. Ah trust his judgement.”

Henry smiled “This is Applejack. She’s a friend of mine.”

Applejack poked at me and looked over me “Henry, ya certainly have made an interesting friend.”

I smiled “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Applejack nodded at me holding out a hoof, I formed an arm to shake her hoof “Thank you for accepting me.”

Henry nodded “I have spent much of my time with her after I rescued her from Eggman's lab, she’s smart, kind and I enjoy her company.”

Applejack raised an eyebrow “Do ya feel something for her? You speak about her fondly after only knowing her for a short time.”

I frowned “Applejack, we are currently figuring that out. I know I don’t look very nice but we are going to try.”

Applejack shrugged “Ah have no problem with that.” She then smiled “While ya go and set up ya date, how about Ah get to know Camie a bit more?”

I nodded with a smile to Henry, Henry smiled “I’ll see you at the farm.” He then bolted off towards the city on the mountain.

Applejack shook her head with a smile “He’ll back, soon. Come on, Camie.” Applejack and I walked through the town, I was receiving quite a few uncertain looks. Applejack nudged me with a hoof “Relax, ignore them. They just need some time to get used to ya.”

I smiled “Thank you, so what do you do around here for fun?”

Applejack put a hoof to her chin “Well when Ah’m not working Ah’m usually spending time with one of my friends. Ah don’t have that much time because of work but Ah do have a picnic with the girls about once a week.”

I rubbed the back of my head with a tentacle “I wish I could make friends like that but they usually run away from me. Not that I blame them, who wants to hang around with an ugly tentacle monster.”

Applejack chuckled “Henry seems to like ya. He has a good head on his shoulders, that’s for sure. Not the most social type but give him his space and he can be a good friend.”

I smiled “Yeah, smart too. I like puzzles and games that requires a lot of thought in order to secure a victory. He is quite good at those.”

Applejack raised an eyebrow “Has he even won against ya?”

I frowned “No but he does better than most his age have. I have been around for billions of years, the fact he does as well as he does shows quite a bit of skill.”

Applejack frowned “Isn’t the age gap between the two of ya an issue?”

I shrugged “He and I are about the same age relative to our species. Besides I doubt the two of us are biologically compatible anyway.” We arrived at the farm, the apple trees that covered the surrounding hills was something I had not seen for a long time. I smiled “I haven't seen a farm this large in a long time.”

Applejack chuckled “Wait until you try the food.”

I scratched my back “I could stay for a bite I suppose.”

Applejack smiled as she guided me into the her home. Applejack smiled “We have a new guest, she wants to try our food.” An older green pony trotted down the stairs slowly, she eyed me for a moment and grinned “Applejack I will need ya help in the kitchen.”

Soon there was a massive pile of food on the table, as the ponies looked at me. I took my first bite and, well I couldn’t help myself. I was laying down on the floor, unable to move.

I'm sorry if this chapter isn't very good, my motivation towards so many things has been low.
