Sleeping Arrangements with no chance of Rain or Clouds

"Can't he sleep back at the hospital?" Scootaloo asked.

"No, unless he is still hurt he can't go back and just sleep there" Sweetie Bell said.

"Can' we just say his is injured so that he can stay there?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Naw, because then he would have to see a doctor and 4o9 doesn't like doctors" Scootaloo reminded her. During this discussion 4o9 was following a lizard on the ground, following it and watching it speed from rock to rock.

"Well can't one of us bring him home?" Sweetie Bell asked to them. Everyone froze except 4o9 who was still chasing the lizard.

"Well I can't do it" Said Sweetie Bell, "Spirit got back yesterday so we don't have any extra room at my place, what about you Scoots?"

"Nope. No room. Sorry" she said, to fast to interject and in a tone with pure embarrassment.

"Well I think Apple Bloom's got room right? She does live in a farm so she has to have room" Sweetie Bell asked.

"I could bring h'm home, but I don' know wha' Apple Jack will say" Apple Bloom said. At that moment 4o9 dropped from a tree with a thud. He smiled and asked the fillies turning to them "Hey, where am I anyway?"

"You don't know where you are?" Scootaloo asked, not really getting the question.

"yeah, like what is the town?" 4o9 asked again. Stopping for the first time when he arrived into the new world.

"Oh, you don't know Ponyville?" Sweetie Bell asked. He shook his head, then asked "Hey what's that?" and pointed to a cloud.

"That's a cloud" Scootaloo said, in a tone that expressed it was common knowledge. "Have you not heard about it before?"

"No, I didn't get outside much" he said.

"Well how about tomorrow we show you around town. You will be able to see everything in town and try a whole bunch of new thing. Right gals?" Sweetie Bell exclaimed. The other two exclaimed "Alright" in unison.

"Now 4o9, let's get going, it's getting pretty late an' Apple Jack hates it when 'm late" Apple Bloom said. As the three children departed their own ways, they each had different thoughts about what would happen tomorrow.

Twilight's House

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Coming" Twilight said, a bit confused. It was around 11 at night, people should know that the library is closed at that time. She went down the stairs and opened the door.

"Surprise Sis" said a very familiar voice.

"Shining!" Twilight exclaimed, then she put her hoof over her mouth, Spike was still sleeping.

"Hey Twily!" said Candace.

"Shh, please. Spike is sleeping." Twilight said hugging them both, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Well Shining finally got a break from work and we didn't really know where to go so we decided to come here just for a couple of days. So how have you been doing? Finding and nice colts?" Candace asked rising her eyes brows at her, Twilight blushed 'I already have someone, if Marius decided to come more often'. As Shining brought their luggage in, he turned to look outside and had a feeling that there was a familiar presence here at the town.

"Honey, hurry up your goanna catch a cold out there." Candace says. Shining sighed and got the rest of the luggage inside.

"So how is being the captain of the guard?" asked Twilight.

"Well its very different, I now have people reporting to me and I have to go to many different places to check up on soldiers and make sure that they know procedures and protocol." Shining said and yawned. "Sorry Twilight I am really tired do you mind if I got to sleep?"

"No not at all, please there is an extra room upstairs" Twilight said.

"Now why does a mare, who lives alone except for her assistant dragon, have an extra room?" Candace asks with a wry smile. Twilight blushes profusely, but manages to say "Because I had someone who come around a lot but I don't know when he comes and I thinks it is annoying to just let him sleep in the couch so I thought of just getting a new room."

"Do tell who this 'friend' is" Candace asks and they continued talking throughout the night.

The Next Day

4o9 didn't sleep that night. In fact, he has never had the need to sleep ever. Ever since he was born he has never had the urge or need to sleep. He suspected that his control of electricity meant that he was basically a living everlasting battery. He would only feel tired after the experiments that the doctors at his old home, because they would make him blew a lot of energy too see how much he could disperse at a time. He feared those days because that wasn't the only thing they would do, they would inject poisons into his body and make is electrical impulses to nullify the poison, yet the process would take hours. Meaning that he would be in pain for long periods of time before the poison would finally be nullified by the electrical impulses that course within him. They would make him become pure electricity at make him move through metal and water. Though this seems like nothing, turning yourself into pure electrical energy isn't something that should be done for energy must expel itself to an equilibrium and so if someone wanted to become pure electrical energy he must keep himself together at all time. After much practice in this, he mastered it but them made him do it for longer and longer periods of time, and making him move through more than just one path meaning splitting himself in multiple parts. These experiments were all very painful which is why he always dreamed of somewhere else when inside his cubicle. He decided that he wanted to see the sun again and so went outside while it was still dark. E jumped onto the roof and waited there for the sun to rise. It took a long time; of course he didn't realize that it had only been around two hours when he was put to bed. So he sat there on the roof for hours waiting eagerly for the sun. He remember his inspiration for escape, the stallion that had given him his want for freedom had told him about the sun rise and how it was a beautiful mixtures of gold and yellow and orange colors to make a beautiful sight which would be the a reason to escape. 4o9 couldn't wait to see it, he knew that it would be spectacular and worth escaping. 4o9 then heard a noise around 9 or 10 hours later, he turned and looked down over the house and saw the large red stallion walk out. The stallion look up saw him and smiled.

"You up t' watch' the sunris' huh?" said the stallion.

"Y-y-y-ye-ye-ye-yes" 4o9 said, "I ha-ha-hav-hav-haven't seen one before so…" he continued in a exicted voice that was dripped with wonder.

"Hm, so you say" the red stallion said, "well ur in for a trea'" they both looked the horizon and saw the tip of the sun come out from the other side of Terra and the dark blue of the night slowly began to fade away, replacing it with the vibrate gold hues. 4o9 gapped at the sheer amount of colors it was producing, the way it creating a natural contrast between the darkness of the night and the beginning of a new day.

"Beautiful ain' I'" said the stallion, "makes I' worth waking up ea'ly in the mornin'"

"yeah" 4o9 replied.

"So, wanna earn your food?" the red stallion said. 4o9 nodded and dropped from the roof. He and the stallion worked until the sun was well over them. About two to three hours, and at around the middle of it, the mare Apple Jack came out and helped out as well. It was well into the day once they finished worked. For the first time he actual felt work that he was proud to do, there was sense of satisfaction to getting all the chicken back into the cop and in collection the apple of the trees. This work was grueling but it had a sense of accomplishment that 4o9 never experienced before, back at the labs he was forced to do tasks that would never end and never receive any results and there would be no reward except for more the next day. Here you can feel achieved at just by completing every task. 4o9 smiled all throughout the work and relished the effort that was required to finish it.

"You ok?" Apple Bloom asked once she saw him enter the kitchen covered in mud and twigs. He smiled and just "Food please"

"Natural born worker he is" said Mac, as they sat down at the table. Apple Bloom gave them each a small piece of pie, a cup of milk and a small loaf of bread. 4o9 ate all the bread within three bites and gulped down the milk, yet once he got to the first bite of pie he stopped. Another thing they didn't have and the labs. Food that wasn't just past without flavor. 4o9 hadn't really eaten sweet thing, the sweatiest thing that the lab offered was the morphine but this was something 4o9 hadn't had before and it was amazing. He couldn't believe such a taste existed and was actually untenable. He took another bite slowly, and savored the swirling tastes.

"Hey, I know I am bad at cooking but I can't be that bad." Apple Bloom said in an offended tone, which knocked 4o9 back to reality to which he realized that tears had come down his cheeks.

"Oh sorry. No, it's really good. I just never had something sweet like this before" he said taking a third bit and again another tear dropping.

"So, wher' you from, kid?" asked Mac once he was finished eating the pie.

"I don't like to talk about it" 4o9 replied. Mac nodded and 4o9 fell a connection of understanding with him, as he knew but also didn't.

"Why no'?" said Apple Jack.

"Bad memories" 4o9 said in a softer tone. There was silence which was broken moments later by Apple Bloom saying "Well, 4o9, you better get washed up, today wer' taking you on a tour of the town remember?"

"Oh, yeah!" He said excitedly. Mac showed him to the bathroom and then closed the door. 4o9 smiled and deiced to use a trick he learned at the labs. He called upon the power within him in and started to vibrate at a speed equal to light. Doing this made all the dirt, mud and twigs fall of literally through him. After around three seconds everything was off of him and on the flour. He then walked out and yelled to Apple Bloom "Ready, let's go!" and jumped out the window and landed outside. Apple Bloom joined him outside at they began to walk towards town, 4o9 being excited for the day in front of him.
