Chapter 1

"Maybe It's not.."

Chapter 1 (I hate mornings)

You lie in your bed just listening to the sounds downstairs, you don’t know what time its you just know the suns up and off course its blinding you even with your eyes closed. The voices down stairs are Twilights and Spikes you can’t really make out what they're talking about but it sounds like Spike is complaining about not having a mustache. You remember once talking to Spike about how Twilight knows a spell to give any…pony a mustache you kind of want to see a purple dragon with a mustache.

The voices start to get louder as Twilight seems to be walking up the stairs, probably to wake you, the thought of leaving your warm cocoon makes you curl up more trying to fortify your warmth against the cold air of the room. Also this has been the best night’s sleep you have had in a long time; new bed and no weird dreams of your face falling off.

Twilight nears your room and calls out in a soft voice “Are you awake?”

You give loud and deep moan, you think that this will make her walk away and let you sleep… of course not; your warm blanket is striped from your body as Twilight pulls it off and start to fold it using her magic. She has been waking you up like this for a long time; and you thought your alarm clock and the sun was bad. You think to yourself that you should sleep nude for once that would probably stop her from waking you up like this. You laugh a little at your plan as you sit up in bed and stretch.

Twilight looks at you as she is finishing the folding “Laughing first thing in the morning? Did you finally sleep?”

You nod your head; you still have never told her your dream but she knows enough from what you have told her.

“Get ready we have a lot to do today, we have to help set the Night before wrap up party.”

You sit on the edge if the bed as you put your boots on the Rarity made for you; not the best fitting pair but a lot warmer than tennis shoes “Ok Twilight when are we leaving?”

She walks out of the room “After breakfast we're going to help Rarity with the decorations then Pinkie and Applejack with the food, It’s all on my checklist.”

As Twilight walks down the stairs Spike comes into your room “Hey buddy when we go to help Rarity let me do most the stuff I want to show her how strong I am.”

He lifts his arms up in a flexing motion

You look over the 3 foot little dragon and smile at the comment but you shake your head in agreement. “Hey Spike don’t you think Rarity is a little too old for you?”

Spike is still flexing his puny arms “No way I am a mature dragon for my age, all I need is a mustache and Rarity is as good as mine.” He strokes his face “chicks dig facial hair” “That’s probably why Twilight likes you”

You touch your face it’s been a few weeks in Ponyville and you have not shaved, note to self my beard is amazing!

Spike looks at you “Lucky” he says

You laugh a bit as the purple dragon talks “Anyways don’t you think Twilight is a bit too young for you?”

You stop laughing and think over that thought, how old is Twilight? “Hey Spike how old is Twilight like 20?”

Spike laughs at your comment

“no i'm serious how old is she is she like 19 ? 18?”

Spike continues to laugh as he walks down the stairs “You're funny you know that?”

You follow him down all the while thinking to yourself naw she has to be 18 right? RIGHT?

After breakfast the three of you headed over to the town hall, the party is suppose to be held inside and outside from dusk to midnight, its still cold even with the new coat and boots Rarity has made for you. But at less you’re not going to be working outside that would be worst.

As you near the big round building Spike starts making remarks about how he is going to win over Rarity with his so called beefed up mussels, you and Twilight roll your eyes. Before you left the house Twilight finally gave into giving Spike his mustache but it cost him one of his scales which Twilight hopes to turn into a razor to give you to cut your beard you started growing… you thinking to yourself thanks’ Spike there goes my dragonborn beard dreams. But seeing a Mexican style mustache on a 3 foot purple dragon makes you happy you picture him wearing a sombrero and dancing with maraca.

You walk into the town halls doors; the inside is a lot bigger than it looks, you see Rarity cutting ribbons in one of the corners she waves you three over.

“Oh thank goodness you have got her the other ponies that the mayor sent didn’t know indigo form purple.”
Twilight gives a respectful laugh to the comment “We’re happy to help, where do you want us to start?”

You look around the room there are three sets of columns on each side of the building all of which have banners on them saying the events name there are also brightly colored balloons and flowers in the room, there are hundreds of chairs and tables stacked up on the left side of the room, you think there’s a big bass system and a dj table in front of tables but you dismiss the idea of ponies having a dj system.

You start listening to what Rarity is explaining to Twilight “…The streamers need to be hung the dj system needs to be placed, the chairs need to be placed and the tables need to be places.” “I don’t think that will be a problem at least not someone with your magic ability you will probably have these things done in minutes.” “When I’m done cutting these ribbons ill put the finishing touches on the room.” She smiles towards you “And I need you to do some of the moving the statues not the big ones just the small ones dear.”

Spike cuts in before you say ok “Oh Rarity I can do that” he smiles waiting for a response

She looks him over and taps her hoof to her mouth “Oh my little Spikey wikey you have something on your face he let me get it.” She floats the scissors towards his mustache and cuts it off, as it hits the ground Spike dramatically throws his claws in the air and yells nooooooooooo

“Oh come on darling you look smashing without that silly thing.” She gives a gentle smile

Spike blushes a little “awww thanks”

Rarity looks towards you again “now those small statues over there need to be place outside where the red fabric is, I marked them so you should have no trouble finding where each one goes “ She motions with her hoof to get going

You nod and start your task

You walk over to the first statue its some a small pony with a ball balanced on its head, you know nothing of art but this doesn’t seem like something special right before you pick it up Spike runs over “Relax I got this” he cracks his claws and try lifting.

You watch as he tries for a few minutes to lift the statue, it’s about the same size as him so it’s funny to watch him fail the only thing that is going through your mind is ‘bro do you even lift? After a few more tries he finally looks to you “Ok I think you got this” you walk over and pick the statue up one handed, mainly just to be a dick.

Spike mumbles something under his breath “Well i'll go see what else need to get done”

You feel proud for showing up a dragon and now you can actually say you showed up a dragon without quoting a video game. You place the first statue and walk back in to grab the others.

* end of chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 (Cupcakes like a boss)

After you have placed and criticized the last statue you walk back inside, the chairs, tables and bass systems have all been placed you watch as Twilight is finishing up the placing of the streamers, her horn glows bright purple and hundreds of streamers fly into the air and are each neatly placed around the room. You walk over to Rarity to wait for Twilight, you sit down next to Rarity and begin to rub your neck, note to self ask Celestia if she can make every door in Ponyville taller.

“Twilight has such good control for her magic especially for a unicorn her age”
Rarity’s comment makes you think about your question earlier you look towards Rarity “Ya how old is Twilight?”

The white unicorn looks to you to answer but is distracted by a loud crashing noise

You look to the noise and see that spike has dropped a statue and it has smashed into a broke pile of dust and stone.

“Spike now we have to clean the floor.” Rarity has a little whine to her voice

“Sorry Rarity… I’ll clean it up.”

Twilight levitates a broom to him “Spike will be at Sugarcube corner if you need us.”

Twilight walks towards the door and waits for you, you say good bye to Rarity and follow Twilight out the door.

After a few minutes you near the willy wonka style building, you lean down to ask Twilight what your need for, you make a point to say you can’t cook anything but burnt toast and over cooked pop tarts.

Twilight laughs “We're just going to try the food for the party.”

You nod your head

You enter sugarcube corner and are instantly greeted by the hyperactive Pinkie Pie “Hey how’s my favorite human? Well I guess you’re the only human but you're still the best you know? Oh wait until you try these new cupcakes Rainbow dash knows a recipe for the best rainbow cupcakes!”
You try to listen to her as she continues her rant but midway though you start to just nod your head to everything she says.

“Ok well Pinkie what do you need us to try?” Twilight saves your ears with the question.

Pinkie leaps into the air and back flips behind the counter, “You need to try this and this andthisandtheseandthisohandoneoftheseandfouroftheseandsevenofthese and oh wow when did I make these?”

Pinkie has set at least 10 plates of food items in front of you, there is pumpkin pie, apple pie, all flavors of cupcakes from chocolate to rainbow these also a vast variety of things you have never seen before.

Twilight looks over all the food “where is Applejack she is supposed to help you with the cooking right?”

“Applejack and Rainbow went to try and talk Fluttershy into coming to the party tonight, you know how she is she can’t get a date because she won’t ever say yes.”

“oooo Twilight who are you going with? Is it Lucky Clover or Noteworthy or Time Turner or Doctor Stables or are you staying home like last year?”

Pinkie looks to you “She stayed home last year you know… do you want a cherrychanga!”

Twilight flops her ears down and is kind of blushing “No pinkie i'm not staying home this year.”

Pinkie stops cramming food at you and looks bad to Twilight “That’s great! Who’s the lucky stallion?”

Twilight motions to you

Your mouth is full of the food Pinkie keeps pushing at you so you give stupid wave to Pinkie.

Pinkie smiles “That’s weird”

You squint your eyes at Pinkies comment, does she mean bad weird good weird or is she just being Pinkie?

“What do you mean it’s weird?” Twilight has a curious expression

Pinkie taps her hoof to her mouth “I don’t know it’s just nopony has ever went with a human but then again no pony had ever dated a human or met a human.”
Twilight looks to you for help on the question, but you just stare at her to busy trying to breathe through the cupcakes that are not stuck in your mouth.

Pinkie notices you're still chewing and gives you a glass of milk.

When you finally swallow you speak “Where going as…”

You’re cut off by Twilight “Where going as friends you know that way he can write the letter to the Princess about the party.” She gives a fake smile

“Wow look at the time I think I have to go and check on Rainbow Dash.”

“But you didn’t even try the pie?” Pinkie holds a pie in her hoof

“Well I’m going to make sure Rainbow knows to stop the snow clouds around town hall.” Twilight looks at you “You should finish up here and i'll meet you back at home.”

You nod, in all honesty you’re glad you don’t have go outside and watch Rainbow clear clouds; taste testing is more fun and warmer.

Twilight leaves the building and you’re left with Pinkie, you look back at her “Ok what else do I need to try?”

Pinkie taps her mouth “Oh I know, be right back”

Pinkie gallops to the back of the bakery; you hear the clashing of pots and pans and what sounds like a cow mooing. After a few minutes of the ruckus she emerges holding a plate of brownies. “These this is my special recipe try one!”

You study the brownie before eating it, its not that you don’t like brownies but the last time you ate a ‘special brownie’ you woke up naked in the middle of your campus, last time you trusted college friends cook too.

You start eating the brownie not bad “Hey Pinkie not bad what’s the special thing”

She smiles “I’ll never say”

(A few hours latter)

You don’t know how long you have been eating but you know you’re at maximum limit, “Okay Pinkie I think I should head out.”

“AWWWW” her ears droop down and she give you a sad puppy face

Good that’s cute, “Sorry Pinkie I need to find Twilight so I know when were leaving.”

Pinkie giggles “OH you need time alone like Matilda and Cranky Doodle.”

You have no idea who those ponies are, “Ya sure, bye Pinkie.”

You walk out of the bakery; just as the door closes you’re slammed into by somepony…

End of chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 (Ready or not)

You look at the pony that just slammed into you, the only thing you can think to yourself is “holy crap David Tenant is a pony”

You try to apologize by saying you didn't see him, but your apologize is cut short by him

“Oh i'm sorry sir, i'm just running late and must not had looked where I was going.”

The brown ponies accent is anything but what you thought but you still think this guy…pony looks like the doctor you listen as he talks all the while thinking any minute now he is going to sonic me.

“My name is Time Turner, I would have a better introduction but i'm late for updating the town halls clock” the pony now stares at you in awww “excuse me but who and what are?”

You introduce yourself then classify yourself as Twilights friend rather than trying to explain you’re basically a college alien from another world, mainly in fear of the “doctor” trying to kill you.

“Well that’s nice maybe we could talk some other time I have to go and fix the clock its all very timey wimey so please excuse me.”

You say good bye, you’re stuck on what he said, ya bid your time David I know its you.

As you continue down the road toward home you notice that more and more of the ponies start to watch you as you walk past them, you know you don’t do much around town especially not without Twilight but surely these ponies must have seen you before.

As you walk you notice some of the ponies are whispering to each other and then they look back at you, great now they're talking about me. After a few seconds of an awkward whispering silence it’s finally broken by the all too familiar tomboyish voice

“There you are!”

The light blue pegasus zips over to you and hovers around “wow you must really like food or something; Twilight says she left like hours ago.” She slaps you on the back with her hoof “That must be why you’re so slow.”

You remember last week when you accepted her challenge to a race; you did pretty good until your shoe got untied and you tripped over it.

Rainbow seems to be thinking the same thing because now she’s mocking you “I don’t know why you humans wear shoes all the time if you’re just going to fall over yourself.”

You give a respectful laugh “Rainbow just remember who won the horseshoe throwing.”

She stops laughing “Ya that’s right, we need to play that again and when we do no hands.” She waves her hoof in front of your face “See no fingers”

You point to your back “see no wings, so next time we race don’t use them.”

Rainbow lands next to you “Oh ya no wings hu?” “Bet you I can beat you home.”

She starts stretching her legs

“No i'm good Rainbow; if I race right now I would just end up throwing up.”

Rainbow looks at you with one eye cocked “Ya ya sure you just don’t want your tail kicked by somepony as awesome as me. You don’t know what you're missing if you would have one I would have gone to the Night before wrap up party with you.”

She flaps her wings and lifts herself back into the air “Not that you would had won anyway.”

“Oh Rainbow I would not need to win I am already going with someone.”

Rainbow lets out a huge laugh then waits for a reaction… “Oh wait your serious let me laugh even harder, what pony in there right mind would go with you.”

Your slightly offended by the comment so you start walking towards the library

“Hey wait I didn’t mean it like that, it’s just you know you're not a pony.” She rubs the back of her head with her hoof as she talks

“I’m going with Twilight.” You say

She looks like she’s thinking hard, which must be hard for her seeing as how she is all sports. “Ya I could see that working out, you’re an egg head she’s an egghead, you both suck at sports and that’s just the normal things then you two have your weird things that seem to only happen to you guys.”

You look at Rainbow “Wow Rainbow you’re the first person…I mean pony to say anything like that most just look at us weird.”

Rainbow “Ugh I don’t want to start talking about lovey dovey stuff so im going to go chase clouds in the Everfree forest, come by the track if you want to race ok?”

You nod as she flees away.

You enter the door to the library and call out Twilights name.

Spike comes into the room “she’s not back she is still helping out at the town hall.”

You can tell he is sad so you try your luck at being Doctor Phil “I heard about that…don’t sweat it Spike that shouldn’t hurt your chance at Rarity.” You think to yourself Ha as if you had a chance.

“You think so?”

Oh crap engage lie! “Ya dude she is the element of generosity right?”

Spike looks more upbeat and sounds happier “Ya you're right, she can’t stay mad at her little Spikey wikey, hey Twilight is going to want to leave early so you should start getting ready.”

Two things pop into your head at this comment, first Get ready? This dragon must not know you put your pants on to legs at a time, second what will I wear I only got like two things. “Hey Spike what do you think I should wear?”

Spike points to a box on a nearby table “Rarity made you something.”

You walk over to the box and open it up, theres a blackish purple vest with a bowtie a white shirts and very fine black dress pants. “wow”

“ya Rarity’s work is always good” Spike says.

You grab the box and head upstairs to get ready.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (Party like a pony)

You lay your new clothes out on your bed and look over them not bad, it’s still surprising to you that ponies can use sewing machines let alone even have sewing machines. You look toward the opening of your room, god I wished I had a door that locked, that’s the last thing you want is for Spike to walk in on you as you change. You push these thoughts to the back of your mind and start undressing; the new shirt fits perfectly which all of Rarity’s stuff always does. You try to put the pants on but it’s a tight fit and you’re not going to just forcefully pull them up; you haven’t worn boxers in a few weeks you figure asking Rarity to make sum would be too weird and you figure you don’t need any as long as you wear pants… big mistake.

You try to put one leg through the hole that seems to be too small and end up falling over, the moment you fall over Twilight walks in… great you think I’m half nude and lying on the ground.

Twilight is faster at an apologue then “I’m sorry I thought you would be done by now.”
She is blushing as she walks out of the room.

Note to self find your old boxers, you stand up and pull the pants up looks like that fall did something right the fabric has been loosened and it now fits. You throw the vest on and start out of the room.

Twilight is standing down stairs checking off things on a checklist, she notices you and looks back towards the check board.

You don’t know why it bothers you so much after all she is an animal… but for some reason she just feels like more then a magical talking horse so you try your luck at an apologue “Sorry Twilight I should had just changed in the bathroom or something.”

Twilight sighs “I don’t know why we feel like we have to apologize to each other… I don’t even wear clothes and I have never had a problem with stallions before but now I feel weird talking or looking at stallions… so let’s please not make this weird where just made a mistake.”

You nod your head at her comment.

“Good now im going to go get ready.” Twilight starts walking to the other room “ow and by the way you do look as Rarity would put it smashing darling.” You both kind of laugh at her bad impression of Rarity.

Spike is not amused, “she doesn’t even sound like that!”

You and twilight just look at each other and shake your head as she leave the sight of the doorway.

Spike continues his rant “No seriously was that Rarity or some snob from Canterlot.”

You smile at how mad he is getting and you feel like teasing him by saying you mad bro? But you figure he wouldn’t understand it.
You look outside “Wow its already dark?”

Spike rolls his eyes “Duh Celestia lowered the sun early for daylight savings time.”

You’re baffled at the thought of a pony lowering the sun and then your human scientific mind comes in “She can’t lower the sun”

Spike looks at you with a straight face “I know you’re from another place but really the sun being raised is what makes you question this place?”

You haven’t thought about Earth that much since you choices to stay here but his comment really makes you think about the life you have so abruptly left, you think about your old life, your schooling, your friends, your parents god knows they must be worried sick. The thought of them being upset brings your heart to loud pound you can feel it in your throat your face feels warm and you start to feel warm. You hold your head and start to feel woozy you bend down and end up falling over.

Spike calls out to Twilight “Twilight! TWILIGHT!

Twilight comes back into the room “What happened!

Spike holds his head and starts moving his legs in a panicked fashion “I don’t know I don’t know he just fell over.”

Twilight gallops over to you “Look at me what’s wrong?”

Your mind is racing with thoughts and you can’t seem to stop them, the amount of thinking is starting to hurt, you close your eyes just hoping to calm your mind.

But your lack of an answer starts to worry Twilight “What’s wrong are you sick? Did you hit your head? Come on talk to me?!”

Twilight puts her hoof on your head and a burst of purple magic sparks from you with a loud boom, Twilight jumps back in shock.

Spike is now in a full panicked voice “What wrong?!”

“It looks and feels like he is generating magic.” She stares at you as the sparks continues to fly off you.

You stare at your hands as the sparks have start accumulating at your fingertips it would be cool if you weren't so scared you look to Twilight for some kind of answer.

You look into her big purple eyes, you have always found her eyes calming “Listen your generating magic I have no clue how to stop it; Chrysalis was the only pony that I know that had any knowledge on humans.”
You watch as your fingertips start to fizzle with the purple magic on them. As you start to calm down the magic start to subside. When the last spark of color flickers from your hand you look back to Twilight.

She sighs “That’s a relief magic can be uncontrollable even for the most experienced of unicorns… I don’t even want to think about what could have happened.”

You look back to your hands and just stare “what happened to cause that?”

End of chapter 4

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (Maybe it is)

“I honestly don’t know, i'm sorry” she says

“But I know we can find the answer!” She smiles at you “We need to study this and write to the Princess.”

Spike looks at Twilight “But Twi? The party?”

Twilight looks to Spike “We can’t have him going to the party and exploding can we? Magic needs to be controlled or it is dangerous”

You think to yourself while still looking at your hands, yes not exploding is good very good.

Spike looks down at the floor and kicks around a bit.

“Ok Spike you can go… but no cider.”

“Really Twilight I can go?!”

Twilight nods her head

Spike looks to you as he runs out of the house “I’m glad you didn’t exploded now I got to go Rarity needs me!”

You watch as he run out of the house but the only thing you can think of wow thanks Spike its not like I could not still explode or something.

As he leaves the house you look at Twilight, she is studying the bookshelf mumbling something to herself “Ah here it is.”

“Come over here and sit” she floats a chair and table to the center of the room.

You get up and walk over to the chair and sit, “Twilight I don’t feel all too good can I just go to sleep?”

Twilight smiles “Of course not, you have to write something to the Princess and we can’t go to the party with you like this so we are going to write about what just happened.”

Twilight starts reading from the book “This book helps young unicorns with magic, I won’t make us try everything but you need to be able to control it.”

She looks to you “Ok try floating the book” she put the book down in front of you and stares at you.

You look at the book and back to Twilight

Twilight looks eagerly at you “Go on try it.”

You motion with your hands and try to move the book, after a few tries Twilight finally asks you to stop.

“Magic doesn't just come and go what were you thinking about when you got the magic?”

You look at her and explain what you were thinking about, you make sure to keep your mind on something else as to not trigger another episode like before.

Twilight sits down in another chair in front of you “Ugh how can it be so complicated?”

You pet her head as she talks, as you do you notice the purple film returning, Twilight notices it to.

“Of course! Chrysalis said humans convey magic through thought and the magic you generate is absorbed by the pony, you don’t use magic you make magic.”

You look at the purple film on your hand, you look towards the book on the table and try moving it, the book shifts a little and you feel like screaming HA I AM A WIZARD!

You look at Twilight with the biggest smile on your face; she proudly puts her hoof to her chest as she talks “You’re not using your own magic at this point you’re just conveying my magic though you.”

You rub her head again this time and mess her hair up in the process “Hey”

You move your hands toward the book but nothing happens. Twilight looks at the book “You’re not making your own magic and I don’t know how you can in less you use the human magic Chrysalis talked about.”

You look at her “You mean hate?”

She nods her head “yes I fear that’s the only magic you can generate yourself… that must be why you felt so weak you have been here so long your body must had gone into withdraws and when you thought about it triggered a response.”

You look back at your hands “Ok how can I use your magic?”

Twilight laughs “You know my magic comes from love and toleration… I don’t think you can just generate that.”

You think to yourself for moment then you thrust your hand towards her head and start massaging her ears.

She is surprised at the motion and lets out low squeals; she closes her eyes as you continue.

After a few minutes you remove your hand and snap your fingers you’re happily surprised at the sparks that fly from your fingers.

You look back at Twilight “I think I found a way.”

Twilight looks a bit dazed “That was strangely relaxing... why haven’t you never done that before?”

You shrug and reach your hand back at her face; she moves her head away from your hand but eventually moves it towards your hand.

You go about doing this for a few minutes before a loud bang and the sound of the door being opening stops you’re rubbing of her ears.

You look over to the door as Rainbow comes in and drops Spike on the ground “Hey Twilight Spike had a few too much cider and…”

She looks at you two in a surprised shock she rubs her neck and says “Should I come back?”

Twilight finally snaps out of her trance and looks to Rainbow Dash “Oh Rainbow…we were… studying right?.” She looks to you and you nod your head

“Ok Twilight.” You’re a little annoyed at her tone and you’re not the only one

Twilight talks in a more serious manner “Oh Spike I told you not to drink the cider, thanks for bringing him home Rainbow.”

“No problem it was either use Spike as an excuse or listen to more of Thunder Lanes lame stories, seriously last time I go with a flight school friend.” “Anyway I need to go help clean up the party so gotta run.”

She blots out the doorway. Twilight looks at Spike “Oh Spike” she levitates him onto her back and carries him to his room as she passes by you Spike mumbles something “ hey buddy you look sdfnoenfwub”

You watch as Twilight leave the room, you don’t know what time it is and you would rather sleep then write a letter so you decided to ninja sneak to your bed you figure she won't wake you up if you’re asleep at less not if Spike is passed out no one can send a letter anyway.

You climb into your bed after quickly changing reminding yourself to find and put on your boxers. You quickly start to sleep but before you do you start to think about yourself and Twilight “maybe it’s not so complicated.”

End of chapter 5

Maybe it's not so simple
