Britain, London, 1906

Scoffing, Edward threw the paper into his desk, and continued to sip on his wine "The Kaiser's much more immature than a child, let me tell you."

His advisors though, didn't see it that way. It was understandable for the Kaiser of Germany to assume Britain was responsible for his son's disappearance, after all they'd been at each other's throats since the naval arms race.

"But, your majesty what about his-"

"Yeah, yeah. His eldest son and heir going missing blah, blah, blah." Edward rattled off, pouring another drink of wine into his glass, before taking a sip. "To be honest, I don't care what that twat thinks. As far as anyone is concerned, he drowned in some storm or whatever."

His advisors gazed at each other, unnerved by their king's nonchalance to a potential crisis that could potentially spark a war between the British Empire and the young nation of Germany.

"Aight, just send back a letter, convince that arrogant sob that we had nothing to do with it." Edward took a shot from his glass, before gazing at his advisors, who is clearly not buggering off and leaving him be with his drink.

"Well? What the bloody hell are you waiting for?!"

Quickly, they scurried off, closing the door behind them as they left. Finally leaving the king of Britain alone with his thoughts.

Equestria, Unity Peninsula, 1002

As Rainbow Dash watches the Germans finish burying their dead comrades, they removed their funny looking metal hats and placed them on their chests, seemingly in respect to them.

She'll admit, the fight was pretty cool, whoever they were, these 'Germans' (Weird name, but she won't judge.. sorta) they could certainly hold themselves in a fight at least, except for the other three.

As she continued to watch the Germans in silence, one of them, who was wearing a fancy black dress coat, though not very fancy now, given its in tatters and his upper chest were covered in bandages, limped up beside her, having to use his sword to help him walk, given he was still weak from that scrap he had with that manticore.

"Sup." Rainbow greeted, slightly surprising the German with her nonchalance.

Regaining his composure, the German let out a sigh, then turned back to the Pegasus "I'd like to thank you, for saving me back there."

"Nah, it was nothing." Rainbow waved her hoof nonchalantly. She intended to end it just there, but he decided to continue further.

"I do not jest, if it weren't for you, I would've met the maker right then and there." Rainbow looked back at him, now sporting a thankful smile.

Not knowing what else to say, Rainbow stood there for a moment, awkwardly shuffling her hooves, before just going with a "Your welcome, I guess."

Nodding his head, the German turned to the three makeshift graves, their rifles piercing the mounds of dirt with the deceased's helmets having been laid to rest on the butts of them.

"I am Wilhelm, by the way." He suddenly greeted, catching the Pegasus off guard.

"Oh ummm" Given that she didn't really ask for his name, she felt kinda awkward, but decided to return the greeting in kind "Rainbow Dash, pleasure to meet ya Wilhelm." She raised a hoof to shake his hand, to which Wilhelm grabbed and shook.

"Rainbow!! we've been looking all over for you!" Exclaimed Twilight Sparkle, who had just entered the noticeablely damaged town.

Rainbow, who was suppose to be their scout. Stands there dumbly, her face in confusion.

"In what part of 'scouting' do you not understand?" She chastised, approaching Rainbow with her friends in tow.

Holding up her hooves, she stammers out her excuses "I, look I was a bit caught up, ok? I kinda forgot that's was what I was suppose to be doing."

"And what exactly, was so important for you to-" Twilight interrupted herself as she turned to see exactly what she is standing next to.

A bipedal like creature stands next to Twilight, appearing wounded, what with the bandages on it's chest and it leaning from a saber.

"Uhhh, Dash, who is this?" Rainbow Dash turns to the tall creature, in response it turns it's head on her and nods it's head.

"This is what I was caught up about." She raised a hoof at the strange creature "Friends, this is Wilhelm, a human from another world, or so I've been told."

.... P A R D O N ?

Human? Another world? How is that possible? In fact, it shouldn't be, for all of this world's magical properties, traveling from one world to another is simply ridiculous.

She must know more.

"Now hol' up a sec. Another world? Dash, you must be going coo coo." Applejack comes up behind Twilight, suspicion written all on her face.

"Nein, what frau Dash speaks of is the truth." The human said, catching the pony off guard and startling Fluttershy into hiding behind Applejack.

"I-i-it speaks!" Fluttershy squeaked out, much to the amusement of both Dash and the human.

"This, thing, is actually a he, Fluttershy, and don't worry about him hurting any of us. He's pretty chill." Dash turns to the human, a friendly smile gracing her face.

"I am Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, I come from a land not from this world." The Prince greeted, slightly bowing in greeting towards the ponies.

Well, not only is he intelligent, but is also a royal! Now the question remains-

"What's a royal like you doin all the way out here by yourself?" Applejack questioned, but before Friedrich could really answer that, Pinkie bounced up behind the Prince.

"Oooo, a new friend!!" She exclaimed, startling the Crown Prince, making him stumble and losing his balance, he would've landed face first into the dirt if it weren't for the help of Rainbow Dash.

"Pinkie Pie! Stop popping up unannounced behind people's backs!" Twilight scolded, but whether the bouncing Pinkie heard her or not, she didn't care, instead opting to bombard the poor Prince with unrelated and seemingly random questions.

"Do you like jazz? And honey, do you like honey as well?" The pony bouncingly questioned, unceasingly, confusing and possibly terrifying the poor human with her sheer unpredictability.

"Pinkie, would you stop-"

"Oh! Here comes more!" Just like that, she zips past the Prince and towards another set of humans, bouncing along in her eternal joy and happiness.

"You'll get used to her shenanigans. Eventually." Rainbow explained, watching along with the bewildered Prince as Pinkie Pie barrages the Prince's likely entourage with more of her random babbling.

"So anyway, about your question, umm." Friedrich turns around, fully facing Twilight and her other friends.

"Applejack." She stated, in response to his silent question.

"Right, Applejack." The Prince turns to the sky, seemingly trying to think of something to say, before turning back down again. "You see, my visit here, wasn't really intentional."

"How so?" Twilight tilted her head, curiosity getting the better of her, and so with the rest of her friends, even Fluttershy seemed to be interested as she stopped hiding behind Applejack.

"Well, you see, I was set for a vacation to a place in my world, called Norway. And if I recall, my yacht didn't make it past the Heligoland Bight before we were somewhere else entirely."

"Soo, you were on vacation when you just suddenly-" Applejack made a what seemed like popping motion '-popped out of the Equestrian east coast?"

"Precisely." The Crown Prince confirmed. "We barely noticed any sign that we transported worlds, until we came across a city, eerily similar to the ones from our world."

"Liiike, Baltimare?" Twilight guessed, slightly confusing the Prince, before adding "It's a city in the east coast." At that, the Prince nodded his head in recognition.

"Ja, I heard about it from one the locals." The Crown Prince said, before then continuing on with his story. "After that realization, my yacht and the ship escorting it decided to anchor far from the city and into the wilderness to explore what this strange world had to offer. After that, the rest was history."

Twilight nodded in fascination. She was listening to practically an alien recall it's tales on how it got to Equestria, like something out of a fantasy from her books.

How exciting! Being one of the first pony to ever meet and talk with an alien was far from her mind, but now that such a thing has become a reality, she cannot wait to see what his world is like too.

But something didn't add up to Applejack, her expression was one of suspicion, and it seemed she didn't quite trust the royal.

"Since y'all just, teleported on the eastern sea, why can't y'all just turn back the way you came?"

It was at that question, Friedrich frowned, he lowered and shook his head, his expression one of slight sadness. "We tried that, but no matter what we did, we just couldn't seem to teleport back."

He then looked to the sky once more, his expression now that of melancholy. "So for the time being, I guess we're just stuck here."

Seeing his mood turning sour, Twilight just remembered the reason why she was here in the first place. If she could just bring them to Celestia and explain to her the situation, maybe she could have the solution to the Crown Prince's problem.

"Maybe we could help you get home?" At the mention of a potential option of returning home, the Prince's mood changed drastically, he looks to Twilight in anticipation.

"Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria and the one sent us here in the first place, could have a solution for the predicament you and your fellow humans are having." She explained to the Crown Prince, his eyes lighting up pure relief.

"That is a huge relief, though I question how a Princess could help us in our predicament." The Prince was sceptical, and didn't react much, a raised eyebrow at most, with the mention of Celestia, cementing his alien origins as nearly every nation and creature in the world knew of her existence and her millennium long reign, further cementing their alien origins

"Well, trust me, she's the one with the most experience in matters like these." Twilight assured,

For but a few moments, Friedrich stood there, his eyebrows scrunched up in thought. Seemingly weighing in his options.

Eventually though, he looked to Twilight, sighed and spoke once again "So far in my visit here, I have been met with nothing but kindness and honesty. So I trust your judgement that this, Princess Celestia might help me in getting home."

"Of course, Crown Prince, I'm sure she won't disappoint." With that agreed upon, it seemed the Crown Prince made up his mind, and turned to go and fetch his entourage

But before he could, he was interrupted by someone. She had remained silent throughout the whole conversation, and never said anything much of a word, only now did she decide to speak her mind.

"No offense to you, Crown Prince." Rarity inhaled and exhaled "But that outfit is simply so atrociously plain, for someone with a status such as royalty, I am just utterly baffled by your poor choice of clothing."

Friedrich, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and pretty much everyone present stared at Rarity with a bewildered expression, wondering why she decided to comment that just now.

"You and my father will get along just fine." Wilhelm said, to no one in particular.

Author's Note

Kinda tired rn, so it might feel rushed near the end. Hope you enjoy and thank u for the comments, really appreciate it.

Sidenote: not sure if the perspective of Edward shows how Kaiser Willy is doing after his son's disappearance. Might have to write it in the Kaiser's perspective next chapter.
