How Did I Get Here?

I was surprised to say the least. I would have never caught him if it wasn’t for his voice. I felt my heart racing out if my chest in anger and excitement. I found Camm, after being missing for 3 years, but what the hell was he doing in Equestria? And on the Royal Guard no less! Camm went missing about a week after he told me he was a brony. He was the First brony besides me,  that I knew. He was one even before Shawn. So when he went missing I was devastated. I lost one of my best friends, and my only brony friend.

But here he was, standing right infront of me. Living and Breathing, in a different body, mind that. But still living. I had so many questions to ask him, how the hell did he get here? Can he help us find a way to go back? How is he the head of Celestia's royal guard? Did he have a fillyfriend? I decided to ask the most basic one.

“What the fuck man? You’ve been missing for three years!” I shouted.

“What? Three years, I just landed in front of Celestia’s castle about a year ago. She asked if I needed something, and I said I wanted to train for a spot on the royal guard. I went through six months of training. And here I am now” Camm said, surprised at the time difference.

“Interesting, it looks like there is quite a time difference between Earth and Equestria. It looks like about seventeen weeks in Equestria is about a year on Earth.” I said with my most sophisticated voice.

“Still a motherbucking nerd.” Camm mumbled.

“Excuse me, did you just say ‘bucking’?” I asked

“Yes I did, sorry. ‘Fuck’ isn’t really used in Equestria. It’s very frowned upon.” Camm replied

“Really?” I asked. “That for some reason that surprises me. Is there anything else that I should know that would be weird not to know?” I asked again.

“Not really. Just only use the swears that you would heat in FanFics, and not the ones on Earth. Those will get you beaten or worse.” Camm said with a serious look on his face.

I was about to ask what he meant by worse. Until we were interrupted by a voice of a lavender unicorn that goes by the name of Twilight Sparkle.

“Are you guys okay in there?” She asked. I was a little surprised that Celestia sent Twilight to get us, and not just another guard, but I can see why.

“Yeah Twilight, we were just on our way out.” I said, as I looked at Camm and gestured for him to follow.

As we walked out of the room I saw that Twilight had already gotten a head start. I, again, understood why. I thought of an excuse to tell Celestia why we were in there for so long. I had decided to tell her the truth, but not the whole truth. I would tell her that I was Camm’s old friend, but I would not tell her from where.

By the time Camm and I entered the room, Twilight was already there talking to Celestia, and when we entered, everypony looked at us, like they were expecting something. I figured they wanted to know why were gone for so long. But as soon as I was about to open my mouth and speak, Celestia asked us

“So, Lancer, Cam, where were you all this time? It’s been almost half an hour.” Celestia asked.

“Well you see, princess. Ca- I mean Lancer is one of my old friends. I hadn’t seen him for such a long time. I was very excited to see him again. I decided that everypony here wouldn't want to hear us catch up. I figured that you guys had your own affairs to attend to.” I retorted, realizing that my cover up was much better than I expected.

“Very well, I have arranged for you all to stay in Canterlot for the next week. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough room for all of you to have their own rooms.” Celestia stated. I had thoughts racing through my head. She was going to put me with Twilight wasn’t she. She would just try to make things more awkward. My thoughts kept racing until Celestia spoke. My ears perked up.

“Here are the pairings. Rainbow Dash, you will be staying with Applejack, Twilight, Spike, you will be staying with Fluttershy.” Celestia said. I got excited, but I didn’t let it show. Celestia must have been reading my mind. Twilight looked excited too. “Rarity” Celestia continued, “You have made arrangements to stay with you cousin not to far from here, Correct?” Celestia asked.

“Yes, Princess” Rarity responded.

“Very well, well Pinkie Pie, that only leaves one person for you to stay with. That would be Cam.” I got a little excited.

“Really? I get to make a new friend, and we can play games. Wait! I know we can throw him a party. It will be so fun I can invite all of the castle, it will be the best welcoming party ever!” Pinkie Pie said excitedly. But a party sounded nice after all that I’ve been through today.

“Very well Pinkie Pie, we can throw Cam a party. It will be nice to have something relaxing to do, instead if paperwork.” Celestia said approvingly.

“You know?” I asked. “A party sounds awesome! Pinkie, I’m putting a lot of trust into you with this.” I said jokingly,

“Oh don’t worry Cam, I'm the best party planner in all of Equestria, just ask all of the people here.” She said confidently. Not surprisingly, everypony, including the Princess, nodded.

“Well then Pinkie, it looks like we have a party to plan, let’s get to it!” I nearly shouted. Everyone laughed.

The rest of the day was filled with party planning. We decided to invite everyone, including Princess Luna and Celestia, in the castle. We planned on games such as pin the tail  on the pony, and apple bobbing. The party would take place at around eight tonight, and probably go on until past midnight. We even got it worked out with Celestia to get Vinyl Scratch to play. Or should I call her by her stage name DJ-PON3. Either way, Pinkie was right. This is going to be the best party ever!
