Chapter 5: Achenars' First Day

The suns raise filled the room. Achenar grumbled as the light hit his face.

“What a strange dream.” He said sitting up.

He slowly opened his eyes and nearly panics as he looks around the room forgetting where he was. He started to calm down as the events of last night start to return to him.

“Wait, if that wasn’t a dream then...” Achenar rushed to the window and looked outside.  A smile grew on his face as he looked out at all the Ponies walking in and around Ponyville. “I’M HERE! I’M ACTUALLY HERE IN EQUESTRIA! Man the guys back home are never going to believe this.” He says as he takes his spare clothes out of his bag and goes to take a shower.


After a quick shower Achenar went to the kitchen to see what food there was, if any.

“Ok let’s see... the bread’s gone moldy... the milk’s cheese... I’m not going to trust the eggs... it’s best to avoid anything blue... the box of Caption Crunch, that I’m guessing my aunt smudged from our world, smells like a dead rat... the cheese doesn’t look to bad... but it looks like the only thing eatable is this bag of oats.” Achenar said as he looked through the cupboards and fridge making a mental note to do some shopping once he got some money. “Oatmeal it is then.”

He then filled the kettle, pleased it on the stove top and was about to turn on the element when there was a knock at the door. Achenar opened the door to see Twilight standing there with a full saddlebag.

“Morning Achenar.” The lavender mare greeted. “Mind if I come in?”

“Sure come in.” Achenar said moving aside to let her in. “So what’s in the saddlebag?” He asked closing the door behind her.

“Well, I knew that the house was short on food and that you would be hungry when you woke up, so I thought I would do a little shopping for you.” Twilight said as she made her way to the kitchen.

“Thanks Twilight, I appreciate it.” So what did you get anyway?” Achenar asked looking at the items she was levitating out of her saddlebag with her magic.

It was a bit odd and exiting at the sometime to actually see Twilight use her magic up close and personal. Achenar had seen it hundreds of times on the show but nothing compared to seeing it firsthand.

“Well, I didn’t know what you liked so I just picked up some of the thing Lauren used to get. I got some apples and other fruit, some vegetables, some cheese, some bread, and milk.” Twilight said putting everything into their proper place. It was obvious that she had done it before.

“That’s great.” He said picking up an apple from the now full fruit bowl. “So would you like to join me for breakfast?”

“Ok.” Twilight said helping him locate the toaster.


After breakfast, which consisted of toast and apple slices, Twilight asked what Achenar had planned for the day.

“Well, I was thinking of heading over to Raritys’ shop to see what she what designs has come up with and so she can take my measurements, but I don’t really know my way around Ponyville.” Achenar said putting his dishes in the sink.

“I would be more than happy to show you around if you want.” Twilight offered.

“That would be great. Thanks.” He said as he washed up and headed for the door.


As they walked through town vary few ponies seemed to notice or care that a human was walking around and the ones that took notice were more interested about who he was supposed to what he was. As some of them came up and introduced themselves, Achenar was surprised to find that the Brony community had managed to get the names of the noncanon background ponies right. After about ten minutes of walking they had finally arrived at Raritys’ store, Carousel Boutique. As they entered the bell above the door rang.

“Be with you in a moment.” Rarity called from the back. After a minute or so the white fashion unicorn came out from the back. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Now how may I help y- Oh Achenar, Twilight! Perfect timing, I just finished the designs for your new cloths.” She said leading them into the back room. “Now I have some experience making cloths of humans thanks to your aunt but not that much for males, so i hope they’re to your liking. She said handing him the drawings.

“These are really good” he said as he looks through the drawings of the cloths she had designed. Of course he would have said that even if they weren’t that good. He would just be thrilled to have clothing designed by the Rarity.

“You really mean it?” She asked excitedly. Achenar nodded as he placed the drawings back on the table. “In that case, do you mind if I take your measurements now?”

“Go ahead.” Achenar said as he stood up tall so she could take his measurements.

“I’m going to go wait out front.” Twilight said walking back to the front of the store.

“Ok” He said as Rarity began taking measurements.

A few minutes later Rarity and Achenar came out of the backroom. Twilight looked up from the catalogue she was looking through and walked over to them.

“Anyway I should have the first a few of the designs done later today and the rest by tomorrow evening.” Rarity said as she double checked he notes.

“I’ll be sure to stop by later then.” Achenar said turning to Twilight.

“Ready to go?” Twilight asked.

“Eeyup.” He said as they walked towards the door.


Twilight continued to show Achenar around Ponyville. After awhile they decided to stop at Sugarcube Corner for lunch. Achenar sat down at one of the tables well Twilight went to place their order. She came back a little bit later with two milkshakes and two pieces of cake.

“Here you go.” Twilight said levitating the food onto the table and sitting down.

“Thanks.” Achenar said taking a sip of his milkshake. “So, is Pinkie Pie here?” He asked looking around for the pink party pony.

“Mr. Cake said that she was making a delivery today.” She said taking a bite out of her cake.

“I see.” Achenar then by force of habit pulled his phone out of his pocket to check the time, forgetting that the ponies of Equestria probably weren’t use to seeing them.

“What’s that?” Twilight asked looking at the strange device.

“What this? It’s just my cell phone.” He said showing it to her. “I can use it to call people but I don’t think my plan covers other worlds.”

Twilight was about to say something but was interrupted by three familiar voices

“Hey Twilight.” The Cutie Mark Crusaders said in unison.

“Who’s your friend?” Scootaloo asked cocking her head to the side.

“Hey girls, this is Achenar, he’s Lauren’s nephew.” She said introducing him.

“Oh yeah Applejack told me about him.” Apple Bloom said excitedly.

“That’s right, my sister Rarity is making him some new clothes.” Sweetie Bell said looking at Apple Bloom. “Hi I’m Sweetie Bell, Raritys’ sister.” She said introducing herself.

“My name’s Apple Bloom, I’m Applejacks’ little sister.” Apple Bloom said doing the same.

“I’m Scootaloo, awesome speedster.” She said proudly.

“And we’re...THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS, YEAH! ” They shouted in unison.

“Nice to meet you.” Achenar said with a little chuckle. “So what are you three up to?” He asked already knowing the answer.

“We’re going to earn our cutie marks.” Sweetie Bell said.

“And how are you going to do that?” Achenar asked trying to hold back his laughter.

“Vinyl Scratch said she would teach us about DJing today.” Apple Bloom said excitedly.

“Ya it’s going to be awesome.” Scootaloo said.

MARK CRUSADER DJS, YEAH!” The three shouted in unison.

The three fillies continued on their way to try to earn they cutie marks as Twilight and Achenar finished their lunch.


After finishing their tour of Ponyville, Twilight and Achenar made their way back to The Carousel Boutique to pick up some of Achenars’ new clothes.

“Oh good, there you are.” Rarity said as they entered the store. “I just finished making the first of the designs. Tell me what you think.” She said as she levitated the clothes in front of him.

First was a plain blue T-shirt and matching pants, seconded was a brown long sleeve shirt and khaki pants, finally there was a green and gray striped shirt and black pants.

“These are great. I really like them.” Achenar said as Rarity folded them up neatly and put them in a bag.

“Wonderful. Now I should have the rest done, as well as some formal wear, some time tomorrow.”  She said handing the bag over to Achenar.

“Alright then, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said turning to leave.

As Achenar and Twilight exited the store they passed a depressed Sweetie Bell.

“I’m never going to get my cutie mark.” She huffed, not really noticing Achenar and Twilight.

“I guess DJing wasn’t her thing.” Achenar said as they head back to his new home in Ponyville.

When they reached the house the sun had started to set. Twilight had to get back to the library and trotted off. Achenar went inside and made himself some a sandwich for dinner and some of the tea that twilight had bought before putting his new clothes in the dresser in his bedroom and heading off to bed.
