Tonight was the happiest night of my life!

Me and Dash looked into each other eyes, smiling.

“Aweeee!” We looked beside us and notice the gang smiling warmly.

I was a little embarrassed and the same goes for Dash, “Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen!” said Pinkie smiling at us.

“I say, you two are meant for each other!” What Rarity said made a good point!

We looked into each other eyes again and smiled.

“Well... we should get some sleep.” I said.

“Y-Ya, we should get some shut eye!” replied Dash rubbing the back of her neck, blushing.

Everypony went to sleep in their sleeping bags... Except me, “Hey Twilight... where do I sleep?” Twilight got up and replied

“Oh! Uhm, I didn't have enough sleeping bags, for you... but you can take the couch.” I smiled and said “Thanks Twilight.”

“Unless, you wanna sleep with me.”

“What was that?”

“Nothing!”

I shrugged and laid down on the couch, thinking about tonight. What. A. Day! kissed Rainbow Dash... I guess, you can say we are dating?...I just hope I don't mess anything up... But I’ll see what day brings me tomorrow.

“Greetings Josh!” I woke up seeing Luna standing in front of me... is she gonna keep visiting me every night?!

“Oh. Hey Luna, how are you?” She smiled and replied.

“I’m quite fine, thank you!” I was getting a little awkward by her visiting, so I asked her.

“So... why are you here this time?”

“I just want to congratulate you, for telling Rainbow Dash how you feel about her! I’m sure you two are going to be just fine.”

“Well, thank you Luna... I guess, I am proud of myself for taking that step.”

We talked a bit about me and Dash, and Dash and me, and birds and bees and other uneasy stuff... and about Luna being sent to the moon...

She then left me alone, to sleep in peace...

The sleeping in peace part was rather short lived.

I woke up, it was still early but... I felt something furry, slightly heavy on my chest and opened my eyes a little more... in the dim light I saw, yellow and orange and... cyan... Rainbow Dash! Sleeping on my chest!

I swear, I felt my heart explode!

I tried my best to move, but didn't wanted to wake her... so I just kinda decided to laid there, till she wakes up.

Only my lungs had an other opinion about that...

“Psst, Rainbow?” No answer.

“...Dash?...” Still, no answer.

I decided to shake her a little bit to wake her up.

So I did, Dash slowly opened her eye’s a little bit and yawned.

She turned to me and smiled, “Good morning hot stuff.” I chuckled and replied

“Morning to you too, Dash... slept good last night?” She began stretching her hoofs in the air.

“You know... you make a comfy pillow... I should sleep on you more often!”

“Sounds like a plan to me.”

With that I got off the couch and walked to the kitchen, to get some breakfast...

Since I was in a good mood this morning, I thought it would be nice to cook the girls some good breakfast.

After cooking eggs and buttered toast for each of my friends, I walked back to the living room right in time to see everypony waking up.

Slowly collective yawns where filling the room.

“Morning girls! I believe you all had a good sleep?”

“Sure did Josh.” said Applejack.

“Why thank you for asking darling, I've had quite the beauty sleep!” came Rarity’s reply.

“HEY, are you making breakfast?!” erupted Pinkie in excitement.

“Yeah, exactly! I thought it would be nice if I make you girls breakf-”

I was cut off from Pinkie pitching my left cheek with her hoof... which really hurt, “Aren't you a sweety!?” ...ow... After Pinkie stopped pitching me, we moved to the kitchen table to eat.

While eating breakfast, I was getting some compliments for my cooking. “Darn tootin Josh! This here is a great breakfast, been awhile since I've had eggs and toast!”

I smiled at Applejack’s compliment. “Thank you, AJ.”

“Applejack is right, This is delicious!” said Twilight eating her eggs.

“Thank you for the breakfast, Josh... that was really nice of you.” said Fluttershy shyly.

The rest of them ate and thanked me each for the breakfast, I made for them...While I was eating my toast, I felt something rub against my right leg.I looked under the table to find Dash’s leg playing footsies with me.

I looked at Dash, who was winking at me while playfully nibbling on her toast... I blushed a little and continue eating.

“So Josh... The princess told me that you had a... sad past... what did she mean by that?” asked Twilight.

I dropped the fork in shock and almost spilled my orange juice.

“I-I don’t know what you're talking about Twilight?!” Twilight gaze hardened on me.

“Josh... what happened before you came to Ponyville?”

I looked at the mane 6 and there it was obvious, they were curious to know about the hell I gone through before I came here.
“I... I don’t wanna talk about it.” I felt a hoof around my shoulder and saw Dash with a worry face.

“Josh, you can tell us, we’re your friends... If something is bugging you, tell us, we really want to help you.” I looked back up at Dash who smiled at me... so I took a deep breath and tolled them.

“I've been through a lot of... unpleasant events to state it kindly, before I showed up here, I don’t know how to explain it, but... I’ll try my best, so... I’ll tell you what happened...”

I told them about my father's death caused by a fire, which really put me in a big depression...Then, after that, I told them about them putting me in a orphanage, since I’m not the proper age to live on my own.After that I explained to them what kind of things I was going through, being alone in the house.I told them about the party and the things in the party I regretted, like the underage drinking... Than I explained the car crash... I always wonder if Jake had survived... I hoped he was Ok.

I felt like a heavy burden was lifted off of my chest... I told them about My little Pony: Friendship is Magic.Understandably, after that, they seemed a little confused...Some were really creeped out about the idea of humans watching them for their amusement.

Then I FINALLY told them about humans being omnivores, mostly I told them about human’s eating meat... like cows, chicken, pork, and that sort of stuff.After that, they seemed to except it... Except for Fluttershy, she was kinda brokenhearted that humans do something like that... she was also kinda upset I was part of it... but I promised her, as long as I’m here, I have no plans to eat meat, just the stuff they eat.

She smiled and excepted me for what and who I am... I turned to Applejack who smiled at me for telling the truth.
As I finished, the girls were speechless... some trying not to cry, some had tears in their eye’s... and for the first time ever... I cried.

Covering my face with my hands, crying, I then felt something smooth around me, I took a peak through my fingers to see Rainbow Dash, hugging me sparkling tears in her eyes, crying on my chest. So I hugged her back, the rest of the gang joined in a group hug... We all hugged each other with tears in our eye’s.

“T-Thank you all very much!” I sniffed,“I’m lucky to have friends like yo-”

“Shh don’t talk... just let it all out.” said Twilight in a calm voice.

After all those sad moments... I felt like peace finally settled in my heart.

We put our plates away and everypony was heading home. We said our goodbye’s one by one. When it got to Dash, she looked at me and said.

“So.”

“So?” I replied.

“So...ahm... thanks for showing up for the sleepover.” Dash begun.

“Ahm... Your welcome... I kinda live there anyway, so... I had nothing better to do.”

“So Josh... do you think you can give me a little good bye kiss?”

She gave me a smirk and moved her left cheek close to my face.

I shrugged with the slightest hint of an smirk and kissed her on the cheek.

“Is that really enough to get you through the day?” I asked jokingly.

She shook her head and replied in her usual tomboyish challenging way “Nope...”

She grabbed my T-Shirt with both hoofs “But this will!”

Smirking like a bandit she kissed me passionately on the lips.

Well... I could get used to this...

After that, I asked her. “Wanna spend tomorrow, the day together?” She blushed, nodding her head.

Still smirking like the bandit king... or rather queen her self, she flow of. After I closed the door and turned around to Twilight, gave me a smirk, not so big like Rainbows, but still... “...Why are you making that face?”

“I just find it really adorable seeing you and Rainbow together, you two make the perfect couple!”

“Thanks Twi, we’re gonna be spending the whole day together tomorrow.”

“Well, I hope you two will have fun together... But, can I tell you something?”

“What is it?”

She then came closer to my face and looked at me very serious... ”If you EVER do anything that would hurt Rainbow Dash, I’ll do something to you, that you will NEVER forgot... understood?!?”

I stood there sweating a bit and nodded in response.

She then smiled again and said.

“Glad to hear that!... So what do you wanna do today?”

Jesus Christ! She sure can be scary sometimes.

“Umm... I’m not sure, I should probably go visit Lyra, been awhile since I saw her.”

“Ok then, just be home by 6:00!”

“Ok mom...” I said sarcastically, Twilight in response looked at me with the ‘Twilight is not amused’ face.

To avoiding all further unnecessary fuel for nightmares including me and an giant lavender mare... I ran outside before things turn ugly.

I walked around Ponyville, greeting the a few pony’s I saw, on my way to Lyra's home.

As I got reached Lyra's I knocked on the door a couple times and somepony opened the door... turned out that pony was Bon Bon.

“Umm... Is Lyra home?”

“Yes she is! Would you like to come in?”

“Sure!”

When I stepped in I decided to lay on the couch and wait for Lyra. Bon Bon smiled to me “I’ll go get Lyra, make yourself comfy. You know... Lyra wasn't lying when she said you were cute...” She giggled a bit which weirded me a little out.
After a couple of minutes... Lyra showed up.

As she saw me, she showed the biggest smile on her face and throw her self on me in a hug.“JOSH! It’s so nice of you to come visit, it’s been like... FOREVER!!!”

“... seems for me, like just a couple of days...”

“Oh, right! Silly me. So... what brings you here?”

“Well... I have nothing better to do today... so I thought it would be nice to visit.”

“Well, that’s nice of you!”

We sat on the couch and talked a bit...I told her about the little talk I had with the girl’s... she gave me a tight hug and offered “If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here!”

I smiled, almost all my friends here said that.

I then turned to Bon Bon and asked if she wanted to know about human’s too.

“Ow sorry, I can’t. I have to go run the candy stand,... ahm... Lyra can you come help me?”

“Sure will, Bonny!”

“WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT CALLING ME THAT?!?”

“Jeez, Bon Bon, I was just joking with ya!” shrugged Lyra.

“Whatever... See ya later Mr... What does they call you?”

“Josh.”

“Ok Josh, It was nice meeting you, hope to see you again, soon!”

“Well than, see you both!” I stood up “Lyra, Bon Bon.” Nodding to each while saying there names in farewell.

Great... I mused, I don't know what to do with the rest of the day,... maybe I should go see what Pinkie is up to?
So I strolled through half of the town in order to stretch my little way to sugar cube corner, to see if Pinkie was home... I entered the gingerbread house to see nopony at the counter, I tap the service bell a couple times and saw Ms Cake come by.

“Well hello there Josh! How can I help you?”

“I was wondering if Pinkie was here today?”

“Yes, she is, Pinkie helps us out delivering today, she is in the backroom, follow me Josh.”

So I followed Ms Cake in the backroom, where they make and package the cakes and other things.

Pinkie was boxing up a nice sized cake, “hey Pink’s!”

She turned around, in the moment she saw me Pinkie smiled wider as physically possible “JOSHY!”

She ran towards and me and throw her self in an hug around me... What's up?... Is it 'Hug's day'?

“What brings you here Josh, is there something I can help you with!?”

“Actually I thought-”

“Do you want a cake?!? OH!!! Or a cupcake? Or better yet a-”

“Pinkie... the reason I came here is just to see if you need any help.”

“Actually you can help Josh, I need you to deliver this package to... Rarity.”

“...Rarity?”

“YEAH! It’s Sweetie Belle's birthday!”

“Alright then,... I shall deliver this package captain Pinkie!”

She giggled in response and gave me the box with the cake.

So I left Sugar Cube Corner, musing, I should probably get Sweetie Belle a gift card...
But where can I get one? As I arrived at Rarity's I knocked the door a couple times.

“COME IN.” Rarity's silk voice called out.

I opened the door to see birthday decoration and what not.

Noticing Rarity as she setts up a few birthday plates and forks with her magic. “Umm... Hi Rarity!”

She turned around, smiling. “Well, hello Darling! … What brings you here?”

I placed the box on the table and said.

“Pinkie told me that it was Sweetie belle’s birthday today and I volunteered to help her out delivering this cake.”

“Well thank you very much Josh... I’m sure Sweetie Belle will love the cake I bought her!”

“So what time is the party?”

“I say at 6:30 is the right time.”

“Ok then... anything I can do to help around here?”

“Actually... Can you go find Sweetie Belle for me?”

“Sure... do you know where she is?”

“I think she’s up in that tree house with her friends at Sweet Apple Acres, doing there cutie mark crusaders stuff.”
I left in order to start looking for Sweetie Belle and the others.

As I arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, I didn't know where to start looking for the crusaders. So I decided to ask AppleJack for help, as I knocked on the door Applejack was there to answer it.

“Howdy Josh! Why don't you come in?” I stepped inside, and sit on the couch.

Applejack than brought two glasses of Apple Juice and asked.

“So,... what brings you here sugar cube?” I took a sip of the drink and replied.

“I was wondering if you know where the crusaders hangout is?” She smiled and got up.

“Why don't you say so? I'll take you there!”

I followed Applejack letting her lead me to the tree fort, in the mean time I asked to kill some time “So... How’s the Apple business?”

She throw me a kind look over her shoulder and answered kindly “Quite fine... thanks for asking.”

Applejack than asked me a rather odd question. “So... you and Rainbow huh?... Quite the lover boy ain't ya!?”

She joked around a bit until I replied “... yeah... Laugh it up Applejack...”

“Easy now partner... I’m just pushing ya around hehe.”

“Alright... but just go easy on the jokes.”

“If you say so Sugar Cube.”

After that small chat, we then arrived at the tree house and I gotta say... pretty nice looking tree house!
“Here it is, Josh! If you need anything just come find me, Ok?” I nodded and she left me alone.

Taking my time I than climbed the ramp leading up to the three house.

As I got in front of the door, I said to myself.

Guess I should make the right introduction to them.. but wait! I already did that with everypony on stage!
But then again. These filly’s never met a human up close before!.But I promised Rarity that I'll go find her little sister for the party.

Well here goes nothing! Leux
