"ALL ABOARD TO THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!"

"Welp, that's our queue." he muttered quietly to a sleeping Flurry.

Getting up, crouching, with Flurry in his arm's, he hastily walked up to the train cart.

"Ticket please." said the ticket agent.

'Hoofing' the ticket over, quick enough to be unseen by any pony, he quickly got to a seat, and covered more of himself and Flurry Heart with his large coat, and waited until the train started moving.

"NEXT STOP, THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!" said the conductor.

The 'pony' breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself, "This better be worth it." before looking to Flurry, still sound asleep, and said quietly to her, "And I hope we don't meet again. Your parent's must be worried."

The train jolted forward, making him lurch back. He quickly checked on Flurry, but after seeing that she was still asleep, the 'pony' finaly relaxed. After everything he's done to take care of Flurry, be unseen, and a little planning, he was awaiting their destination, "Killing two birds with one stone." he said, then played his music on loop that fit the mood.

"Heh, if Twilight saw my phone or earbuds, there would be so many questions. Hell, if she saw me, a human, there's no telling what would happen. (snort) A human in Equestria, like those fanfics." he muttered. He knew the darker side of the fanfics, but if this world was peaceful, somewhat, he didn't want to taint it.

^ 2 Hours Later ^

The human was starting to get a little tired, until Flurry started stirring in her sleep.

"ma...ma..."

"We'll be there soon, just wait." said the human, taking off his earbuds, pausing the music. It wasn't enough to calm Flurry however, and she began to cry.

"Mama."

'Any louder and I'm gonna get attention.' he thought. Just as Flurry was about to wail, he began to whistle a song from a movie.

'I should see that movie when I get back.' he thought.

He hummed the last half of the song, just as Flurry was falling asleep.

Tiredly, he said, "You're a handful, you know that. "

^ 1 Hour Later ^

Flurry woke up with a yawn, and smiled when she saw the tired human.

"Better not make me sing again." he said tiredly to her, but just as he was about to fall asleep Flurry stomach growled, "Man, your guys's stomachs are loud." he quietly said, annoyed, but it needed to be done. Getting the flask from his belt, he gently fed Flurry milk, while looking for anyone who was watching. No one did, and he finished feeding her without any issues. Once he knew that he was safe, he put away the half full flask of milk, and succumbed to his insomnia.

^ 3 Hours Later ^

He woke up with a jolt, looked at the pony who woke him, and froze.

"Are you okay?" the pony mare asked.

He got out of his shock and looked out the window, holding Flurry a little tighter, "Ye-Yeah! Um, yeah im fine." he said, thinking 'I hope she didn't see my face, even if i have this cloak on'

"Are you sure? You were twitching there for a while." She asked concerned.

'Must be from stress and weird dreams. God I hope we get there soon.' he thought.

"Umm?"

"Huh, oh, sorry, got lost in thought... umm, weird question did you see my face?" he said, still looking out the window.

"Uh... no, why?"

"(Thank god) Heh, no reason," he then remembered the original question, "and yes, I'm fine, thanks."

"Baa?"

"Shh, go back to sleep." he said quietly to Flurry, unfortunately the mare heard her.

"Oh, is that your foal!?" the mare exclaimed

"(Shit.) Yeah, (for now), and I'm trying to get her to sleep, so, (go away go away go away)."

"Oh sorry, what's her name?" the mare asked.

"Fl, (NOT FLURRY HEART!), Flicker, her names Flicker Match. (seriously that's the best I could come up with!?)" he said, while silently scolding himself.

"Such a cute name. Oh, where are my manners I'm--"

"Look it was nice talking to you, but I really need to get her to sleep, and I need some privacy." he said a little forcefully, trying to make the mare leave.

"Oh, alright. Well I hope I can see you again. Have a nice day!" she said, walking off.

'Man, I thought she'd never leave. I don't need to be attached to this world, or people... creatures... whatever, than I already am. I just need to return Flurry to her home, see if the mirror portal is there, and hopefully get to a more familiar place, even if it's not mine.' (sigh... ) 'And when I do... well... planning that is for later.'

^ 2 Hours Later ^

The human made sure to stay awake for the duration of the ride, watching any pony that walked by. He also made sure to have music to be entertained, he didn't want to be bored. But he was close now, the Crystal Empire was just a few minutes away. He then listed out the things he had to make sure he has everything.

'Let's see... Flurry Heart, phone, wallet, earbuds, solar panel, cable, flasks one, two, and three, cloak, glasses, and my favorite fingerless gloves. Alright, ready to go. That mirror better be there.'

The train slowly came to a complete stop to the station, and the human was glad it did. He did not want to have a fussy baby right there, not when he's close. If she did wake-up, hopefully the rest of the milk and apple sauce in the flasks would be enough to appease her.

'I know you're a baby, but your picky.' he thought.

"Crystal Empire everypony, watch your step!" the conductor said.

"Welp, that's our queue." the human muttered quietly to a sleeping Flurry.

He got up, crouching, with Flurry in his arm's and walked out the cart.

(inhale)...

(exhale)...

"Finally."

Author's Note

Let me know what you think of this short. I've had this idea for some time now, and I wanted to post a small portion of it here. If it's good, I'll start from the beginning, if not, eh... I'll continue with my life, and read others fanfic. This is my first time writing something with effort, so please take this with a grain of salt or whatever.
