A Faraway Land.

Chapter 25

Back In Ponyville

I awoke slowly to the feeling of someone watching me. I turn my head to the right and I see Twilight. She was resting her head on her hooves on my bed. I watched her for a few seconds before I broke the silence.

"Is something wrong Twilight?" I waited for her to answer.

"No; nothing is wrong. I just want to watch you for a little bit. Is that okay?" Twilight smiled.

"I don't mind." I slowly get up and scoot to the edge of the bed. "Were is Celestia? I need to talk to her."

"You should be resting James." Twilight slowly got up.

"I have been in the hospital for at least five days since I have been in Equestria. I know I will be fine, so please don't worry." I was about to grab my clothes, but Twilight took them before I could.

"You need rest James. Please don't fight this." Twilight said in a calming voice.

"I am not fighting anything Twilight. I am just getting out of here." I watched her as she gave me an angry look. "Can I please have my clothes back." I stood up and held my hand out.

"No..." Twilight held my clothes away from me. "You are going to rest..."

"This is your last chance Twilight. I don't mind walking around outside with just my gown." I continued to hold my hand out for my clothes.

"No..." Twilight started to pout. "I don't think you will."

"Fine." I wrapped my gown around me and tied it in the back. "I will see you at the house." I started to walk out of the room.

"You need rest!" I heard Twilight yell as I walked down the hall. I then see Doctor Stable come around the corner.

"James... You should be resting." Doctor Stable looked up at me.

"I am fine Doc. I just want to leave." I continued to walk pass him.

"Okay then; just take it easy." I gave the Doctor a thumbs up as I walked out the door of the hospital.

I started to walk towards Rarity's boutique. I knew Rarity would help me out with some new clothes. While I walked down the street. I saw a lot of ponies looking at me. I found it to be a little funny. They walk around without clothed, but when I am just barely covered. They look on in amazement. I stopped ant looked back as I hears someone call my name.

"Hey James!" Shining Armor said while he ran up to me.

"What's up Shining Armor?" I watched as he started to laugh at me. "What's so funny?"

"Oh its nothing. I was just wondering if men in your world wear dresses." I watched as he laughed. "Do they?"

"What?..." I looked down at my gown. "No they don't; this is a hospital gown."

"If you say so." He gave me a smile. "So where are you headed?"

"I am going to Rarity's place. I needed some new clothes." I held my hand up towards Rarity's house. "Would you like to come with me?"

"Sure; I needed to talk to you about what happened." He started to walk next to me as we went to Rarity's. "

As we walked to Rarity's boutique; I told him everything. I gave him detailed descriptions of the cities layout and even how they keep warm at night. I described how they were trying to use my gun as a base for a weapon they wanted to make. I had to reassure him that they have no way to recreate it. Shining Armor suddenly stopped.

"Is something wrong?" I looked at Shining Armor.

"You tell me. I think Twilight is mad at you." He pointed at Twilight as she ran towards us.

"James! You need bed rest! Get back to the hospital now!" Twilight quickly ran in front of me. "You are not going anywhere but the hospital." Twilight gave me an angry look and stood in a way that made her look like she was going to attack.

"You better listen James. I can't even stop her when she is like this." Shining Armor nudged my arm.

"Twilight; I need some new clothes, so I am going to Rarity's." Twilight cut me off.

"No! You are going back to the hospital to rest." I tried to step around her, but she blocked me.

"Twilight; you can't stop me." I smiled. "You can't use magic on me. I will only absorb it and you can't use force. I might end up even more hurt."

"All the more reason you're going to turn around and walk back to the hospital." Twilight looked even more determined than ever.

"Look Twilight. Lets compromise..." I showed her my hands. "Let's both go half way on this."

"I am listening..." Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"I need some more clothed, so I am going to Rarity's. You can follow me and keep an eye on me." I watched as she put her hoof to her chin and nodded. "After I get my clothes; I will go back to the hospital with no resistance." I looked at her for a few second. "Do we have a deal?"

"Let me think about it for a minute..." Twilight sat down and looked at me.

"Wow James; I haven't seen Twilight do this before." Shining Armor nudged my side. "Just be careful with this one. Don't make her angry." Shining Armor gave me a smile.

"You have a deal." Twilight smiled. "But you better not do anything that will stress you out!" Twilight gave me an angry look.

"Okay; I will be careful." I gave Twilight a smile. "Shall we get going?"

"Right!" Twilight smiled and started to walk besides me and Shining Armor.

"So Shining Armor; I was wondering if I could get reimbursed for some of the money I spent." I glanced at Shining Armor.

"I don't know; I could talk to the Princess for you. How much did you spend?" Shining Armor asked.

"If I remember correctly; I spent 30 Bits. Will that be a problem?"

"Not at all." Shining Armor started to laugh.

"So James. How did you get hurt that bad?" Twilight looked at me with wide eyes.

"I turned my back to Queen Chrysalis and she charged at me." I sighed. "I just got careless."

"You have to stop doing that James. It could have turned out a lot worse." Twilight looked at the ground as we walked up to Rarity's door.

"I know Twilight." I knocked on the door. "I will be more careful." I gave Twilight a smile.

"Coming!" Rarity said behind the door. I watched as she opened the door. "My word... What happened to your clothes James?"

"Twilight stole them from me and won't give them back." I pointed my thumb at Twilight. "I don't know why, but I am fearing for my life right now." I laughed and winked at Rarity. "You think you can make me some new clothes? My other ones are a little dirty."

"Sure thing Darling. Come on in; I already have your measurements. This will only take a few minutes." Rarity walked to her desk and grabbed some papers.

"Hey Shining Armor." I walked up to him and leaned over to whisper in his ear. "When I get the clothes. I am going to need you to distract Twilight."

"Why?" Shining Armor whispered back.

"I need to look at something in the Everfree Forest." I looked at Twilight as she looked at me. "Can I count on you?"

"Yeah; just be careful." Shining Armor smiled as I nodded.

"What are you two talking about?" Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"Umm..." Shining Armor started to panic.

"We were talking about my compensation. I am going to need the money soon." I smiled. "I wanted to build myself something."

"Ohh?" Twilight looked at me with a curious look. "What are you going to build?"

"That's a secret." I smiled at Twilight. I watched her as she started to give me an angry look.

"What are you hiding?..." Twilight continued to watch me.

"Nothing." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I am done." Rarity said with a smile. "I used the same colors you had last time. I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind." I smiled and walked up to Rarity. "Do you think you can make me more when you have the time?" I took the clothes and walked to the small dressing room.

"Sure. I don't mind at all." Rarity smiled. "Do you want them to be the same?"

"Sure; that would be fine." I quickly changed and folded my hospital gown. I walked out of the changing room. "Alright Twilight. I am ready; let's get going."

"Yep!" Twilight smiled. "Now we go to the hospital." Twilight looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "You are going to go right?"

"Yeah. I said I would; right?" I gave her a smile as I walked to the door. "Let's go." I held the door open for Twilight and Shining Armor. "Thanks again Rarity. I will come back later for the clothes." I quickly rush out the door and made my way to Twilights side.

"Now we go to the hospital." Twilight said in a proud tone.

We walked towards the hospital for about five minutes. I looked over at Shining Armor. I waited for him to look back; when he did. I gave him a quick nod and he knew what to do.

"Twilight! What is that in the sky!?" Shining Armor pointed and I watched in shock that he tried that.

"What! Where!?" Twilight quickly looked around the sky. I watched Twilight in amazement as she fell for something that simple.

I gently put the gown on the ground and slowly move between two buildings. I bent down behind some bushes and watched from behind the leaves.

"I don't see it James; do you?" I watched as Twilight waited for a response. "James?" Twilight quickly looked around. "James!" I watched as Twilight slowly turned to Shining Armor. "Why would you do that!?..."

"Forgive me Shining Armor." I whispered to myself. "I need to take this opportunity to leave." I turned around and slowly made my way behind the building. "I hope you will be okay."

I ran across the edge of the forest. I came up on the small pathway and I quickly entered. I slowed down to make sure I wasn't bleeding. When everything looked good; I continued down the path. As I walked down the path; I looked for anything out of the ordinary. I walked off on the small side path and walked into the clearing that I crashed in.

I looked at my wrecked Hornet. I could see the bolts on it were rusting away. I walked up to it and investigated the cockpit. I was surprised to find that it had been stripped out. I hopped off the wreckage and looked around at the small pieces of metal. Not much was left when I blew that Sidewinder up. I looked at the edge of the tree line and found what looked to be the dash cluster. I walk over to it and pick it up. As I quickly looked it over; I could see something that looked like bite marks. I dropped the dash cluster and walked back over to the wreckage.

I walked up to the crater next to the Hornet. By now the water inside it was dried. I decided to slowly make my way inside the crater to investigate. I looked at the walls of the crater; I quickly find hoof prints along the wall and what looked to be dig marks. I walked towards the center and got on my hands and knees. I carefully looked at the spot that was dug up.

"This must be were my bullet rested when I threw it in the puddle." I sighed. "So I might be correct..."

"Correct about what?" I jumped and quickly turned to the voice.

"What is wrong with you Luna?..." I watched as she gently flew down next to the crater. I quickly raised an eyebrow. "Wait; why are you out here?"

"I went to the hospital to get your report of what happened, but you weren't there." Luna gave me a creepy smile. "I then ran into Twilight Sparkle; she is very upset at you James... Now to more important matters at hoof." Luna looked at me with a straight face. "What were you correct about?"

"I think we have a Changeling hiding in Ponyville." I pointed in the middle of the crater. "Someone started to dig here. When I was in the Badlands; Spike found the bullet I threw in this very crater."

"Yes..." Luna put her hoof to her chin. "I do remember you tossing something to the ground that one week." Luna watched me as I crawled out of the crater.

"Do you think Shining Armor can stay in Ponyville for a little bit?" I walked up to Luna. "Just to be on the safe side."

"I think that would be a wonderful idea." Luna turned around and spread her wings. "I will go tell my sister about this."

"Wait! Before you go; I need to ask you something first." I watched as she turned to face me.

"What is it?" Luna smiled and waited patiently.

"Do you think you could heal me again?" I pull my shirt up and showed Luna the bandages.

"I can try." Luna watched as I removed all of the bandages.

I watched her as she bent down. Her horn started to glow blue. I continued to watch her as her horn eventually started to glow white. It started to worry me when her horn started to spark.

"Luna; are you okay?" Luna stopped and looked at me.

"I am fine, but it seems you are able to absorb a lot more magic than last time." Luna sat down. "Did something strange happen when you were in the badlands?"

"Not that I can recall." I started to think about it. "Wait! Something did happen." I looked at my right hand. "Normally the magic glows blue when I use it, but last couple times. It glowed a bright red." I watched as Luna looked on at me. "Is that bad?"

"I don't know. I am going to have to ask my sister about it." Luna looked at me while I had a worried look on my face. "Is something wrong James?"

"It's about when I first came here. Do I still have that dark magic ins..." Luna interrupted.

"Rest assured James. That magic is no more." Luna smiled. "You have no dark magic inside of you. Would you like me to try to heal you again?"

"That would be great." I smiled at Luna and held my shirt up.

I watched as her horn once again started to shoot sparks. It still made me worry a little. I looked down as I felt a funny tingling in my stomach. I watched as it started to heal; it was very slow, but noticeable. Luna stopped shortly after.

"Is something wrong?" I walked up to Luna and helped her up.

"I am just tired." Luna looked at me and smiled. "That is the best I can do, so we are going to have to finish some other time."

"That's okay; I won't ever ask you to do this again." I watched Luna as she stabilized herself. "I didn't know it took that much out of you." I smiled. "By the way... Did you want my report?"

"No; I have all I need. I talked to Shining Armor when I ran into Twilight." Luna smiled again and turned around. "You might want to watch out. Twilight no doubt saw me land here." Luna quickly flew off.

"James!" I turned to the yelling. "Were are you James!" No doubt it was Twilight.

"I am over here." I walked towards the small path out of the forest.

"James!" Twilight quickly jumped out of the bushes and pinned me to the ground. "You promised..." I looked at Twilight as her eye twitched.

"Why don't you look at my stomach. I don't think I need to go to the hospital." I watched Twilight as her horn started to glow. My shirt was quickly pulled over my head. "Are you kidding me Twilight?" I tried to move my arms, but I couldn't. "Can you move my shirt..."

"But how?" I felt Twilight move off of me.

"Luna helped me out." I slowly got up and pulled my shirt down. "I have some good news for you. Shining Armor is going to stay in Ponyville for a little bit."

"You are still going to the hospital..." Twilight gave me an angry look.

Twilight and I walked out of the forest and back to the hospital. She stayed behind me the entire way. We walked through the hospital doors and I saw Shining Armor in the lobby.

"What's wrong Shining Armor?" I walked up to him and he looked up at me.

"So you are still in one piece." He smiled at me.

"Did Twilight do something to you?" I raised an eyebrow.

"She gave me a good talking to. She wanted me to wait here and see if you would come." I watched as he stood up. "Are you okay James?"

"Yeah; I am just fine." I smiled. "By the way; I would like you to stay in Ponyville for a little while. I already talked to Luna and she approved, so I was wondering if you would stay."

"That sounds great." Shining Armor smiled. "Oh. I have something for you." Twilight quickly interrupted.

"James; get in here. The doctor is ready for you." Twilight kept an eye on me as I walked towards her.

"Hold on Shining Armor." I pointed at Twilight with my thumb. "I best do as she tells me."

"Right. I will wait here for you." Shining Armor sat back down as I went into room two. "Hey Doctor Stable. I need you to tell Twilight that I will be fine." I slowly sat down on the bed

"I will be the judge of that James." He gave me a smile and looked at Twilight. "This one has a lot of spunk Twilight." I watched him as he looked over some papers. He turned back to me and smiled. "Now lift up your shirt James."

"I don't know doc." I slowly lift my shirt up. "You're not going to hit me like last time; are you?"

"Not this time James." He laughed. "Well that's strange."

"What is it Doctor?" I watched as Twilight walked up to Doctor Stable.

"He is perfectly fine. What did you do James?" I watched as he put a hoof to his chin.

"Princess Luna helped me out." I put my shirt down and stood up. "Am I good to go home?"

"I don't see why not." The doctor turned to Twilight. "He is good to go Twilight. Just make sure he takes it easy."

"Don't worry. He won't do anything stressful." Twilight looked at me and smiled. "I will make sure of it." Twilight followed me out to the lobby of the hospital.

"So what do you have for me Shining Armor?" I walked up to him with Twilight close behind.

"I have your compensation." He levitated a good sized pouch up to me. I held out my hand and he gently placed it down. "You are going to buy us dinner tonight right?" Shining Armor smiled at me.

"I don't mind, but this feels a little heavy. How much are you giving me?" I tossed the pouch up a couple of times.

"You have 50 Bits in that pouch." Shining Armor walked up to me with a smile.

"Why so much? I only needed the 30 I spent."

"The other 20 is from me. It's my thanks for keeping my Twily safe." I followed him out of the hospital with Twilight following closely behind me.

"Thanks Shining Armor. You might not know, but that means a lot to me." I looked up at the sun as it was setting. "I have only been here for a couple of weeks and Twilight was kind enough to offer me a roof over my head. Luna helped me with a problem I had when I was a child and everyone here is very kind to me. It feels like I have been accepted the way I am."

"You have been accepted James. You might have been a little rude a couple of times, but I understand why." Twilight gave me a smile. "It's just that you sometimes do stuff you shouldn't. Like today when you ran from me..."

"I had to do something important Twilight. Please don't get mad at me." I put my hands together and smiled. "I am buying us dinner tonight, so don't hate me."

"I will think about it." Twilight smiled and put her nose in the air. I watched as she pranced on ahead of Shining Armor and I.

"Hey Shining Armor; I need some help. You think you could help me out?" I asked

"Sure. What do you need?" Shining Armor glanced at me.

I am going to build something from my world and I need help carrying materials." I smiled. "You game?"

"Sure! I would love to see something from your world." Shining Armor and I watched as Twilight opened the door of her house. "So what are we going to build?"

"A still." I smiled.

"What is a still?" Shining Armor looked at me with a puzzled look.

"It is something to make Moon Shine." I let Shining Armor go in before me.

"What is Moon Shine?" He asked while he walked through the door.

"It's a type of drink. It will put hair on your chest." I put my fist to my chest while I closed the door. "It looks like your girl is here Shining Armor." I pointed at Twilight and Princess Cadence. I watched as Twilight and Cadence danced.

"Sunshine, Sunshine. Ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake!" Shining Armor and I smiled as Twilight and Cadence laughed.

"James! How are you." Princess Cadence smiled as she walked up to me.

"I am doing just fine Princess Cadence." I smiled at her. "You are keeping your man in his place right?" I winked at her while I nudged Shining Armor.

"I am." Cadence laughed. "You can call me Cadence. We are friends after all; right?"

"Sure thing Cadence." Twilight quickly cut in.

"James! You think Cadence could come to dinner with us?" Twilight gave me a big smile.

"I don't see why not." I looked around for Spike. "You know where Spike is?"

"He is upstairs sleeping." Twilight smiled as she walked up to me.

"I am going to go get him. I think he might want to eat too." I started to walk towards the stairs, but Twilight stopped me.

"I think he will be fine. He gets a little cranky when somepony wakes him up." Twilight grabbed my sleeve. "Let's get going James." Twilight dragged me to the door by Shining Armor and Cadence.

"So have you and my Shining been getting along well?" Cadence asked with a smile as she walked out the door.

"I think so." I turned to Shining Armor. "So what happened to that Changeling you captured yesterday? Was he easy to capture?"

"He was taken to Canterlot for interrogations." Shining Armor quickly got serious. "I don't know if we would have captured it if Celestia wasn't here to help."

"So it put up a fight. I'm sorry about that Shining." I gave him a wink as he looked at me. "Was anyone hurt?"

"Twilight got a little scuffed up, but she is doing fine." Shining Armor looked up at the sky as the stars started to become visible. "I never asked you this, but what is your world like?"

"It's not too bad if you ignore the fighting and the stupidity." I chuckled a little. "We have a lot of fun amusement parks, movie theaters and video arcades. The best thing about it is the tourist attractions."

"Why don't you tell us about it." I looked at Cadence as she gave me a smile. "It sounds like a lot of fun."

"Well; my favorite would have to be Yellow Stone National Park. It is one of my planets largest super volcanoes. My parents took me their when I was five years old and I still remember how it looked." I smiled as I looked at Cadence. "I had a lot of good memories there. I have also been to Miyajima and the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Japan. I am sorry to say this, but the beautiful landscape at those two places alone. It has beaten anything I have seen in Equestria."

"It's that good huh?" Shining Armor asked while smiling at Cadence.

"Yeah; it is a very nice place." I laughed. "It would have been nice to know I was coming here. I would have brought pictures."

"If you ever had a chance to go back to where you came from. Would you do it?" Cadence asked while looking at me.

"I have only been here for two weeks. They haven't been the best vacation I have ever had. That freaky storm I was involved in, Queen Chrysalis invaded Canterlot and that garbage in the Badlands." I sighed. "I can tell this world is very peaceful, but I have been having poor luck." I looked at Twilight and gave her a smile. "That being said; the answer would have to be no. I still have a lot to get use to, so as long as you are all patient with me. I think I will be fine."

"I am happy to hear that James." I watched as Cadence looked at Twilight and smiled.

We all sat down at a table. Twilight sat across from me and Cadence and Shining Armor were next to me. We waited for the waiter to come out with our menus.

"You are not going to steal any of my food this time; are you James?" Twilight watched me carefully.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." I look back at Twilight. "Are you going to scare me half to death when I wake up tomorrow?"

"I don't know." Twilight smiled as the waiter put our menus on the table.

"Hey Twilight." Cadence looked to Twilight. "Do you mind if I stay with Shining? I heard he was going to stay in Ponyville for a little."

"That would be awesome!" Twilight then looked at the ground. "But I don't know where you two would sleep."

"You two can use the bed I have been sleeping in." I smiled at Cadence. "I can't have a princess and the captain of the royal guard sleeping on the floor." I watched at Twilight looked up at me. "I don't mind sleeping on the floor."

"Are you sure James? We could find someplace else to sleep." Shining Armor said with a smile.

"I think it would be best if you were close to me while you stay here." I gave a quick look over the menu.

"What are you worried about James?" Twilight looked at me curiously.

"I'm sorry I haven't told you this until now, but I think there is a changeling in Ponyville." I looked at Twilight as she gave me a shocked expression. "They had the last bullet I threw away from my gun. The queen also knew everything that transpired since I have been here." I put the menu down. "So ether the queen was watching me herself, or she has a changeling hiding in Ponyville."

"How is that possible?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know yet, but I want to find out. This might be a stupid question, but have you seen anything out of the ordinary?" I put my hands together on the table.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't." Twilight put her ears down and looked at the ground.

"It's nothing to be sorry about." I watched as the waiter came out with a small lamp. He placed it in the middle of the table.

"Are you ready to order?" The waiter waited patiently for an answer.

"I'm good." I looked at Cadence. "Ladies first."

"Okay." Cadence smiled at me and turned to the waiter. "Could I get a Calla Lily and Blue Bell Sandwich and a glass of water please." The waiter turned to Twilight.

"Yes; I would like a Daffodil and Daisy Sandwich please." Twilight smiled as he turned to Shining Armor.

"I would like some Hay Fries if you could please." The waiter then turned to me.

"I would like a Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich if you could; also a glass of water too please." We all handed him our menus and he walked off.

"So how have you been adjusting to life here James?" Shining Armor smiles. "It sounds like you have been doing right with Twilight."

"It's been fine with me. I had a rocky start, but sooner or later it will turn in my favor." I nudged Shining Armor and smiled at him. "It will be a lot better when you help me with that Still tomorrow."

"So that drink you are going to make; it's that good?" Shining Armor raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know if you would like it, but it helps me relax." I watched as a couple waiters came out with our food. "It can also be used for medical reasons. Just a little modifications to the still and it will produce Antiseptic." I turned to the waiter as he placed our food on the table. "Thanks." I gave him a smile.

"Do you think I could try your drink?" Twilight asked while levitating her sandwich.

"I don't know about that Twilight... How about this; I will make some. You can give it a smell and if you like it. You can try it." I grinned knowing she wouldn't like the smell. "What about you Shining Armor. You are a military man; I know you are going to want to try some."

"It does sound interesting." Shining Armor started to eat his hay fries. "You can count me in."

"Is there something I could help you with James?" I looked at Cadence as she gave me a smile.

"What about me?" Twilight quickly stated before I could answer.

"I think me and Shining Armor can handle it." I watched as they both looked disappointed. "Building a still could be dangerous. It involves a lot of pressure, so I am just getting Shining Armor to help gather the stuff."

"If it is dangerous; why are you doing it?..." Twilight started to give me an angry look. "Do you remember what we talked about?"

"Yes Twilight; I remember. I will be carful; I have done this plenty of times when I was a teenager." I laughed "Some of the best years! Sadly a lot of time in the hospital, but still fun!"

"Just make sure you don't do anything stressful." Twilight finished off her sandwich. "I might have to do some drastic measures to make sure you don't hurt yourself."

"I won't. Well I am ready to go if you all are." I tried to remember how much all the food cost. I stood up and placed 15 bits on the table.

"You put too much James. The food only cost 13 bits." Twilight levitated the two extra bits towards me.

"I know Twilight. The two is for the waiter. It has always been habit to tip waiters." I took the two floating bits and placed them back on the table.

"That's nice of you James." Cadence said while getting up.

"I guess; well I am ready to go when you three are." I watched at Twilight and Shining Armor got up.

We all continued to make our way back to Twilight's house. I could tell that Twilight was worried about something. I could only guess that it was about the changeling in Ponyville. I would be worried too. It just might be someone I already met, but I can't let it get to me. Last time I didn't trust them. I ended up losing my gun and almost dying in the desert. We walked into Twilight's house. I took my boots off and set them by the door.

"Hey Twilight; do you have any extra blankets?" I asked while walking in the middle of the room.

"Yeah, hold on a second." I watched as she went upstairs. She quickly returned with two large blankets. "Here you go James."

"Thanks Twilight." I grabbed the neatly folded blankets and walked up the stairs.

"Where are you going James?" Twilight asked.

"You have a balcony upstairs. I am going to sleep on it tonight. It didn't look like it was going to rain, so I thought it would be a good idea." I walked over to the window and opened it. I hopped up out of the window and turned around. "Good night everyone. I will see you all in the morning." I closed the window.

I spread one blanket on the ground. I laid down and placed the other blanket on top of me. I put both of my hands behind my head to act like a pillow. I looked up in the sky and something caught my eye. I saw a gray Pegasus with a yellow mane and tail. I watched it fly off in the distance and thought it was strange. Why would they be out this late. I couldn't think too much about it; after all I just got home. I looked back up at the stars and slowly drifted off to sleep.
