Ooooh, look! A new chapter! Come my little ones, and devour and critique it!

CH. 4: Second the Year, 2 Party ( i think i may be slightly dyslectic)

"Dennis." I said in the most dramatic voice I could muster.

"Yeah?" Dennis responded, in a slightly confused tone. It was about a week since my visit to the hell above hell, and me and Dennis were having another playdate.

"I must warn you Dennis."

"About what?"

"The Job That We Do Not Speak Of, you will go there soon, I know it. You have all your teeth now. You will suffer the same fate as I, but I am warning you so that you may be prepared when you make that fateful visit. When I did, I was thankfully prepared because I was warned beforehand. You, on the other hand, may not be properly informed about it, so It is my duty to see that you are prepared for the visit to that hell on earth."

"And what is this 'Hell on Earth?'"

"The Dentist Dennis, the dentist."

"Oh. Oh dear god I forgot about those. Thank you, David, for informing me about this development. I will see to it that others are informed and that I will be prepared for it when the time comes."

"No problem bro," I said, dropping the whole 'I come bearing terrible news' thing, "I just didn't want my only friend here to be unprepared when you gotta go."

"Yeah, thanks man." After that little exchange, his mom came and picked him up, and my mom came in to tell me something. I was terrified at first because it might be that the dentist found something wrong and I had to go back to be tortured again, but no, It was just that my mom and his mom arranged that I could come over to their house every other week. That was a massive relief. After a week, I came to his place. It was pretty nice. It was a Victorian style house with a wraparound porch, painted green with beige accents. There was a nice big front yard as well as backyard, with a willow in the front and a full grown oak in the back. The next few months were pretty uneventful, other than Dennis also going to the torture house about 2 weeks after I went to his house. I also learned something about Equestria, they have no Easter. I think this is because back on earth, Easter was a Christian holiday celebrating the death of Jesus or something. Since Equestria has no Jesus, there is no Easter. Then the school year started up again, and I was reminded that I had to go there in about a year or so. I hate school, but not as much as the dentist. School just deals emotional pain, the dentist deals emotional, physical, and mental pain. But something happened during August I think, or was it September? I dunno, anyways, Me and mom were out on a walk again and were having a picket, when a little teal filly with a mint colored mane crawled up to us. She wasn't a toddler though, she was just a baby, the same as me. But we had a little exchange where I learned something that would benefit me a lot in the coming years.

I was just sitting on a quilt set on some grass in the nearby park, trying to eat a grape but failing because it was a bit to big for my mouth. I mean, who makes grapes that big? While that was happening, someone came and tapped me on the shoulder. I was startled, so I spun around while holding the grape like a rock ready to bash the head of whatever dared to get near me in.

"Woah there tiger, I'm not gonna do anything," The teal filly said, "I just came over to give you tips about eating that grape."

"Oh thank god, I though you were gonna hit me or something. What are the tips?"

"Oh, you gotta orient it lengthwise, then nibble it bit by bit, not try to shove the whole thing into your mouth."

"Huh, thanks." I said while doing what she just said. It worked like a charm, the grape tasted great, and I drank the liquid inside like a glass of wine.

"No problem. Also, what did you mean by 'Thank God'? Because I don't think there is a god here in this place."

"Uhhhhhhh, ok, ima let you in on something confidential. You gotta promise to never tell anyone about this, and I mean anyone. Not your friends, not your parents, and especially not the authorities."

"Ok, sure. What's going on? Are you some sort of, baby mafia boss?"

"What? No, that's crazy. I'm an alien called a Human that died a year ago and was reincarnated into this body."

"Really? Because that is the exact same thing that happened to me! I died a year ago and was reincarnated into this body! I was also Human!"

"Really?! Shiiii, nice. How'd you die?"

"I was struck by lightning trying to get home after work, how about you?"

"I fell down a flight of stairs in the middle of the night."

"And you died, from that? How do you die from falling down stairs? Were you like, old or something?"

"No, I was 34. It was a long flight of stairs that was made of stone."

"Who would make a flight of stairs out of stone and not put a rug or carpet over them?"

"It was outdoors and the stairs led up a large hill. You ever heard about Camels Back Park?"

"The one in Phoenix?"

"No, the one in Boise."

"Oh, no I haven't."

"Well it had a steep hill at the back of it, and it was so steep that to get to the top fastest, was to build a staircase up to the top."

"Huh, ok. Oh, look, it's my mom finally realizing that I was missing. Here she comes. See you soon?"

"Yeah, see you soon." After that, she was picked up by her mother, who was apologizing profusely and also scolding her about going off without her knowing. My mom said it was fine, and that I took a liking to her. I think they arranged a playdate for me and her sometime soon. I wasn't listening though, because I was busy eating another grape.

The week after that little talk with another of my last species, she came over while me and Dennis were hanging out. The talk went like this.

Me and Dennis were talking about her when she came in, and he has questioning me why I didn't get her name. We quickly stopped though, when her mom brought her in and set her down infront of us.

"Now Lyra, behave yourself. I don't want you traumatizing another foal again. You hear?" Her mom said, Lyra just nodded, because no one who isn't able of intelligible speech can understand us.

"Good, now, I'll be downstairs talking to your friends moms, goodbye." She then left us and closed the door, leaving us to our own devises for a few hours.

"So, Lyra, was is? Nice to meet you. David here told me all about you, which is just how you died because he didn't get your name or anything else! I'm Dennis by the way."

"Nice to meet you, I hope we can be good friends in the future." Lyra said.

"Yeah, me to." Me and Dennis said at the same time.

"Jinx! Double Jinx! Jinx!" Dennis lost the jinx thing.

"Oh you gotta do something for me now." I said

"Fine, what is it?" Dennis said, defeated

"Go downstairs, and get an egg from the fridge thing that they have," I told him, "But do it sneakily, so that they don't know your there."

"Sure, I could do that." He said, then crawled over to the door, hovered up to the handle, and opened the door and crawled out, closing the door behind him.

"Sooo, is this whats gonna happen every time I come here?" Lyra questioned.

"Dunno. Every week its a bit different than the last. Anyways, Dennis was reincarnated here with the quest to bring human music to Equestria, I was brought here also with a quest but wasn't told what it was. So what's yours?"

"Uhhhh, I think it was to assist someone in bringing human music here, and I think Dennis was the guy I have to assist."

"Huh, cool. Oh hey Dennis, that was fast."

"It kinda helps when you have wings." Dennis said, holding the egg, "What did you want with the egg?"

"I just want it, I like eggs." I said.

"Okkkkk, weird liking to have, but I'm not one to judge. I once hoarded Amazon packages." After that, me, Dennis, and Lyra, which we learned was her pony name and also her human name as well, talked about random stuff like our fantasy football teams, all of our past hobbies, and stuff like that. then, my friends parents came in and brought them home, I ate dinner, and went to sleep. That cycle repeated itself for a few months, in which the leaves turned into different shades of color, the weather got colder, and it rained more frequently. We got another family reunion in November, where showed off my developing magical prowess by lifting myself and a few small objects a foot off the ground for around half a minute, and I took my first steps. They were very awkward, of course, but I still walked! For about 2 feet before falling back down again, bashing my head against the floor and crying because I stupidly chose to do it above the hardwood hallway. Lyra got her first steps in around the same time as I, and Dennis the week after while we were in my room. Nightmare Night was about the same as last year, I wore the same guard outfit, Dennis wore a little suit with a top had and a monocle, and from the brief glimpse I got of Lyra, she was wearing a pretty pink princess costume. At Hearths Warming, I got my stocking stuffed with toys that I probably won't use for another few years. Hearts and Hooves day was also the same as last year, and I learned that Equestrians have something called Princesses Day, which is exactly like Presidents day back on earth. After 4 months, school got out and my mom got pregnant again. It seems that all that sex paid off in the end I guess. I couldn't wait for the birth of my sister/brother, so I am going to try to be the most patient man in the world for the next 9 months. I then had my birthday, in which I destroyed another cake and got a bunch of presents. I got a feeling that the next decade or so of my new life, would be the best years that I would have in my entire life.
