Chapter 4 Q/A

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After the event that transpired, Rainbow was back to her usual attitude, according to her friends. Brash and overconfident. 'Heh. I guess she hardly breaks into tears since she said it was *uncool* '. It was true. After stopping her fit of tears, Rainbow then began to tell things about herself. Mainly stating that she is the fastest flyer in all of equestria. She also kept saying that she would one day become the captain of the 'Wonderbolts', whatever that was.

When Ryan asked what were the 'Wonderbolts' she just stared at him as if he was living under a rock. "Are you really that dumb? Wait...Oh right. Your from a different world...Ehehe...sorry" Rainbow apologised to him, forgetting that he is a different creature in a different world. "Oh it's ok. I bet the Wonderbolts are amazing." Ryan said. After his statement, Rainbow then nodded her head furiously before telling him who were the Wonderbolts.

"Well, we're getting a bit off topic here. Can you tell me Ryan, what are you anyways?" Twilight asked. "Oh. Well, like I said to Pinkie, I'm a human or otherwise known as Homo Sapien." Ryan answered back. Ryan could have sworn that Twilight was paying attention just now, apparently she was not. "Well, is your species the dominating species of your world?" Twilight asked. "Yes actually. Our species is the most dominating out of any living thing in our world. Our lives are very different to what you ponies have. We don't control our weather, our buildings are taller than any buildings you have here from what you told me. Lastly, our world is not always peaceful." Ryan said. He was about to continue when Twilight asked him, "What do you mean not always peaceful?" He gave her a smirk. "Well, I was about to answer that, when a purple pony interrupted me".

"You see, our world is constantly at war. People fighting and killing each other...It's not a good thing to hear..." Ryan looked down at the floor, while saying this. The four ponies in the room gasped. Horror filled their faces when they headed the word killing. "Why would anypony do that?!" Twilight asked. "Not sure. Some say it is fro peace while others say for personal gain." Ryan gritted his teeth when he said this. It was obvious that he did not like his world due to this reason.

The room grew strangely silent. No pony dared press on with the questions, so they decided to stay silent. Even Pinkie was silent even with her infinite amount of energy. Ryan decided to break the silence. "Let's just not ask about this again shall we?" The four ponies nodded in agreement.

"So Ryan, job did you work as back on your homeplanet?" Twilight asked him. Pinkie then began to hop on the spot. "Oh! Oh! Maybe he is some big time baker! No! A teacher! Or maybe a-" Pinkie was then interrupted by Twilight when she silenced her with a finger to her mouth. "Pinkie, if you keep on guessing what job he had, he won't be able to tell us." Twilight told her friend.

Pinkie just nodded at this and kept quiet but still holding a huge grin on her face.

"Haha it's ok Twilight. Actually, I don't work yet. I'm still a student. But when I do get a job, I want to be baker, like what Pinkie said" Everypony gasped for the second time. "And why yer still a student huh sugarcube?" Applejack asked. Everypony nodded in agreement. "You see, in my world, you get a job based on how smart you are. The reason why I'm still studying is because I want to get a good job."

Everypony let out a small 'oh' except for Pinkie. Her face had an enormous grin which was bigger than what she had earlier. "Hey! Since you said you wanted to be a baker, I can help!" Pinkie was excited to know that she can help him earn a job he wanted. "That would be lovely Pinkie. I appreciate the help" Ryan answered back.

The group then laughed when Pinkie almost scared Ryan when she appeared behind him and gave him a friendly hug. As the others were laughing Twilight then asked a question that immediately stopped all the laughter. "Um..D-Do you h-have a m-m-marefriend?" she asked shyly. The girls stopped laughing, then turned around to face Twilight. She was blushing so hard part of her cheek didn't look purple anymore. "Uhh...What's a marefriend?" Ryan asked, totally oblivious to what she was asking. Rainbow then answered him. "Err..You see, a marefriend is when a stallion gets in a relationship with a mare" Ryan didn't understand at first, but when he saw everypony in the room with a hint of red, he then pieced the pieces together.

"Oh...Erm..well...No actually." Ryan was too shy to answer this since he was never in a relationship with any girl. "Oh". The faces of the ponies turned back into their original colour. 'I wonder why they would ask sun a thing...' Ryan wondered. There was awkward silence that filled the room. No one talked. This silence was then broken when Ryan yawned. "Sorry about that ladies. I guess I'm just tired. By the looks of outside, it's pretty dark." Ryan stating the obvious, which was not obvious to the girls.

"Oh my. It is pretty late. Hehe. Time sure flies when your having fun I guess. You still don't have a place to stay right Ryan?" Twilight asked. Ryan nodded, thinking if she was going to offer him a place to stay at her house. "I can offer you a place to sleep at my place. That is if your ok with it." she stated. "Sure. Thank you for the generous offer" Ryan replied.

=================================================================================================

After saying their goodbyes, Ryan then followed Twilight to he house, in which she said was the local library. 'Wow. The librarian and so call *egghead* lives inside the library" Ryan chuckled. Luckily for them, Ryan was not spotted by any pony since it was night time and most of them were asleep.

They reached a big oak tree which had a sign that was labeled 'Ponyville Library'. 'Wow. This library is big. I wonder where I will sleep for the night. Most probably the couch, if I find one.' Ryan thought to himself. He was still admiring how big the tree was that he was pulled by Twilight into the library. "Well, here we are. The library. I sleep upstairs. I can offer you the guest bedroom." Twilight said. "Like I said Twilight, thank you for your hospitality. I will gladly take up the offer" Ryan answered her.

Twilight just smiled at him, yawned then went up the stairs. 'I might as well stay comfy here...This place is gonna be my new home after all...' Ryan then yawned, while making his way to the guest bedroom. He didn't bother taking his clothes off since one, he didn't bring any home clothing and two, he was lazy to sleep in his undergarments. Ryan then yawned one last time before lying down on his bed, drifting off into a dreamless slumber.
