From Beyond The Infinite

New Places, New Faces Part 2

A flash of light illuminates the interior of the tree Twilight Sparkle calls home. Suddenly standing in the room are all of Rainbow's friends she was talking about to Anon.

"Okay Twi, Where is this 'Human' y'all were talkin' bout?" An Orange pony with apples on her flank and a fairly sizable cowboy hat on her head conjectures.

"oh... umm.... I hope he's not... scary looking" A yellow Pegasus says in an almost inaudible whisper.

"Nonsense Darling, He won't look the least bit scary once he visits my Boutique" A white unicorn with swirly purple hair speaks eloquently.

"Well whatever he's wearing he can wear it at the PARTY!!! it's gonna be the most amazingepicspectacularsuperduperthanksforcomingtoequestriaeverafter party!! WHOOHOO!!" A pink pony excitedly states as she pulls a canon out of nowhere and fires it at the steps Anon is now coming down.

Anon gets blasted by some of the confetti from canon fire then laughs a little bit as he looks around the room. "Haha man my friends are not gonna believe me when I tell them what happened to me" He states to himself as he looks at everyone in the room. There's an awkward silence till Rainbow Dash breaks it with a well timed cough.

*Cough* "Ahem, Alright so this is Anon and I just wanna point out that I'm so fast that he came all the way from a different world just to witness my awesomeness first hand" Rainbow says as a matter of factly while striking a pose.

Anon steps forward to catch the attention from everyone. "Haha sure Rainbow I came all the way from an entirely different universe just to watch you... wait... What exactly were you doing in the middle of a thunderstorm?" Anon stops to fire a confused look at Rainbow Dash, and everyone else also looks at her with a confused look.

"Uhhh, well I was too busy catching a helpless human' out of the sky so yeah..." Rainbow states as she kicks at the ground hiding her real reason.

Anon speaks up "Hello everyone, my name is Anon and I'm a human from a place called earth. I'm not sure how I even got here but I assure everyone here that I'm not here to invade or anything like that. I only harm if I or my friends are in danger. So I think I should let everyone know what I can do. In exchange for Information I also want Information because as far as I know I'm the only... human.. here" Reality sets in.

Anon slowly drags himself to the couch to sit right next to Spike. His hands rubbing his face at an attempt to wipe away any sentiment that he has for his home. But to no avail. His head rests on his clenched hands.

"Oh dear..." Twilight walks over to and stops in front of Anon who just notices her after a moment of disillusion. Rainbow follows suit and takes a seat right next to Anon who is now sitting right in between a dragon and a Pegasus. Can't say this is a normal evening by any means.

Twilight is the first to speak up "Anon, you may be the only one of your kind here, but by no means are you alone. We will help you as much as we can. We'll let Princess Celestia know about you and get you citizenship here and get you stable here in Ponyville. Then we'll figure out a way of getting you home" Twilight says with a genuine tone of sympathy. Everyone in the room steps forward in front of Anon except Rainbow Dash who remains beside Anon on the couch.

"I agree with Twi, all of us have Ya'll back" The Orange pony states with her country accent.

"Ummm and me and my animals can help of course... too.. I mean if you don't mind of course.." The Yellow Pegasus says in a whisper but still heard by all.

"Don't worry Darling, get with me and you're gonna like the way you look, I guarantee it." The White unicorn says which causes a small chuckle from Anon.

"YEAH! and once you get all settled we'll throw you a party! The biggest anypony has ever seen!!" The Pink pony states in an energetic tone.

Rainbow places a hoof on Anon's back which causes him to look to his left to meet Rainbow Dash's gaze. In that moment Anon's world stopped for just a second, just long enough to actually notice something about Rainbow Dash.

'Her eyes are really pretty'

Rainbow Dash pauses to look at Anon for a moment as well before speaking up. "Remember that not only did I save you from demise, But I also saved you from being alone too, I'm your first friend, remember that" Rainbow Dash's look goes from a sympathetic one to that of a cocky smirk. Anon also smirks adding some chuckles in there.

Spike nudges Anon in the side which snatches Anon's attention. "I'm not chopped liver you know. plus I'm in desperate need for another guy friend around here" Everyone laughs at the terrible joke.

"Thanks Rainbow Dash... Thank you everyone. I promise that as much work you put in for me, I'll put in for you as well. I mean what are friends for right?" Anon says looking at everyone.

The next few hours was spent with introductions with overall summaries of the world's as well as themselves. Anon now knows all of their names as well as their quirks. The 'Main 6 and Spike' now know about Anon and a little bit of his world as well as his martial art background. However he decided to keep his dreams and aspirations to himself for the time being as he thought it irrelevant right now.

It is now about 11 or 12 at night.

"Okay since I'm the one that brought everypony here, I'll teleport everypony home" Twilight says as Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie all gathered around Twilight.

"Good night Anon" all four ponies say in unison.

"I'll be back Anon" Twilight says before her horn glows and a flash of light illuminates the room and all 5 vanish.

"Okay Anon that means I'm going to sleep to, night bro" Spike says giving Anon a fist bump before running upstairs leaving Anon and Rainbow Dash alone.

"Hey thanks again Rainbow, for having my back I mean, feels good knowing that I can make friends in an alien world haha"

"haha says the alien" Rainbow chuckles

"Hey, I'm really curious, What WERE you doing in that storm?" Anon asks

"The same thing you said you were doing in the storm, I was practicing what I love to do" Rainbow responds while looking at the ceiling.

"Racing? but you were the only Person.. ahem.. Pony around when I came to. what were you racing? Lightning?" Anon laughs off before the silence captures Anon. He realized she was serious.

"Actually, I wa" *Flash* A sudden flash of light and Twilight is standing in the same spot she left from.

"I'm back! oh Rainbow you're still here, did you wanna stay here too?" Twilight asks genuinely.

"Oh no I'm actually about to head out. gotta hit the hay cuz I work tomorrow and it calls for a sunny day, sooo clearing the sky for me" She says in a sarcastic tone. Rainbow Dash gets up from the couch and gets to the front door before turning around to meet Anon's eyes one more time. "You know, you make one Tartarus of a first impression" She opens the door and flies off without waiting for a response.

Anon not knowing if that is good or bad replies even though she's not there anymore. "Likewise"
