We were finally back.

Back in Equestria.

After beaming off the ship, I quietly made my way into the library and made it up the stairs. I saw Gilda in my bed and crawled in and put my head on her butt and went to sleep, using her butt like a pillow.

It was morning, and Twilight had just gotten up and was about to head downstairs when she noticed Rob was back… or at least she thought it was Rob, he looked like Rob… but he had a colored mane and tail, however, when she saw his cutie mark, there was no question that it was him.

Twilight gently nudged Barb awake. “Barb… wake up,” Twilight whispered.

“Wha?” Barb moaned as she slowly woke up.

“I think Rob’s back!” Twilight whispered to Barb.

“He is?!” Barb asked. Barb got up and went over to his bed and saw the pony sleeping there, at first she didn’t recognize him, but after a moment she got closer and smelled him. ‘Marshmallows’ she thought as she recognized his scent. “He’s back!” She whispered excitedly. Twilight then woke up Gilda, who was just as excited as Barb to see Rob.

Barb was the first to try nudging him awake, however, he didn’t seem too pleased about it. “The only reason you should be waking me up is if the Library is on fire, if I open my eyes and the library isn’t on fire, then I’ll make it on fire, I’ve had a long journey and it was very exhausting and right now I just want to rest,” he grumbled before turning over and pulling his blankets tight onto himself.

“Yup, it’s him,” said Gilda. “Only he would wanna keep sleeping and threaten whoever tried to wake him up.”

“Well can you two try to figure out where he’s been all this time? I have to meet up with the girls,” said Twilight.

“Ok,” they said as Twilight left.

“I think I know a way to get him up,” Barb said with a grin.

“Me too,” said Gilda with a knowing grin. Gilda stood up, depriving him of his pillow. Rob groaned and pulled the covers over his head, still reluctant to get up. Gilda grinned and tore off his blankets. “C’mon Rob, wake up,” she said. He groaned and refused to open his eyes. Rob groaned and opened his eyes. Both Barb and Gilda noticed his eyes were now red, but didn’t say anything.

“Well?” They asked.

Rob groaned again. “Fine,” he groaned.

I got up with a groan and got out of bed. “Are you ok?” asked Barb.

“I’m fine,” I told her.

“Where have you been?” Asked Gilda.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” I told her before I left the room and began heading downstairs to make myself some breakfast. ‘Man I’m hungry,’ I thought as I walked into the kitchen. I used my magic to open the cupboards and took out a bowl, a pan, and a spatula. “I feel like an omelet would be nice,” I said to myself before opening the fridge and getting some eggs, some bacon, and cheese.

I cooked up the bacon first, and while I waited, I cracked the eggs, mixed them with some milk, added some cracked pepper, and once the bacon was done I took the strips and used the bacon grease to make the omelet. I waited a while, put the strips in, added cheese, sprinkled it with salt, folded it over, added cheese on the top, and once it was done, I put it on a plate and put some ketchup on the side.

“That smells good,” Said Gilda.

“And it’s all mine,” I said as I sat on my haunches at the table and began to eat.

“Ok,” Said Barb as she pulled out some gems to eat.

I enjoyed my omelet and sighed contentedly. “Delicious,” I said as I smiled while Gilda made her own food. I cleaned up my mess and dishes and put them away after drying them.

“So what are you going to do now?” asked Barb.

“I don’t know,” I said. “Maybe I’ll head to Canterlot and speak with the Princess, she’ll need to know I’m back, you’ll send her a message won’t you?” I asked.

“Not a problem, I’ll send it after I'm finished eating,”Barb told me.

I nodded before heading down to the basement to retrieve my armor and putting it on before heading out. “See you later!” I callled.

“Bye,” Said GIlda.

“See you later,” Said Barb.

I nodded before I headed off towards the train station. I bought a ticket and got on the train. I took my seat and began to relax and close my eyes. ‘I should probably get my story straight… I should probably tell her that I had a family matter to deal with and it took longer than expected, that’s reasonable and not entirely false either, so that should work,’ I thought before opening my eyes again.

However, when I opened my eyes, I noticed there was a Mare staring at me, a cream colored pegasus mare with a brown mane. I ignored her for half the train ride, but she wouldn’t stop staring. I was about to say something, but she suddenly got up and approached me.

“Hey, we’re almost to Canterlot.” She told me.

“And?” I asked.

“Aren't you getting off there?” She asked.

“I was going to,” I said.

“I’m not normally the kind of mare to ask this kind of thing but… would you mind rutting me?” She asked with a blush.

“Wut?!” I asked.

Hey everyone, sorry if it’s so short. Hopefully the next one will be a bit longer.
