What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Two - Where Am I?

When the bright light filled my vision, I was blinded for a moment. When the light faded away and I could see, I found that I was on a grassy hill out in the middle of nowhere. I tried to take in my surroundings, and found a small village just down the hill. I decided that I should go down there and find a phone or something. So I began walking down the hill and towards the village.

Many thoughts raced through my head.

'Where am I? How did I get here? What am I doing here?'

The last thing I remember was Chrissy saying her actual name was Chrysalis. And then she said she would take me to her world. Wait a minute. Did she succeed?

I stopped for a brief moment, then laughed at myself.

Nah. She couldn't have. There is no such thing as another world. As I reach the village I noticed that there is a vast quantity of....

Ponies?

Okay, this is weird. Maybe they're pets. As I walk through the village, all of the ponies stop what they were doing and look directly at me. That's when I noticed. These ponies were not pets. They had market stalls and they were all actually in a conversation seconds before I walked into the village. With all their eyes on me, I nervously raised my hand.

"Ummm...Hi?"

One pony pointed at me and screamed.

"The monster talks! Everypony run!"

'Holy living shit they talk. Chrissy really did send me to another world. Her world.....'

The entire town was thrown into utter chaos. Ponies were running around trying to escape the "monster" before he eats them. I roll my eyes and turn around to leave the town. I've had enough. If they won't help me, then fine. I'll find my way home on my own. As I walked away, I noticed that all the screaming had stopped. I turn around and see that the town once again had all eyes on me. One pale yellow coated pony with a red mane stepped towards me.

"You're....not going to hurt us?"

I scoff and laugh. "No. Why would I? You haven't hurt me, so I don't hurt you. One of my rules. Now if none of you will help me, then I'll be on my way."

As I turn, my arm was pulled back. I look behind me to see the same pony from before looking up at me with happy eyes.

"Wait! I'll help you! My name is Roseluck! What do you need?"

She let go of my hand and I turned back around. I look to the crowd and saw something that creeped me out.

A mint green coated unicorn with a lighter shade green mane was giving me the creepiest look I could ever see. She leaped out of the crowd and in front of me. She pointed a hoof directly at me and looked to the crowd.

"I told you! Humans do exist! He's a human!"

I raise an eyebrow at the mare and gesture to my body.

"Yeah, I'm human. So?"

She turned to me with the same crazed look.

"See! He admits it!"

I face palm. Roseluck tugs on my hoodie and smiles.

"What do you need help with...."

"Crystal."

"What do you need help with Crystal?"

I rub the back of my head nervously.

"I'm looking for someone. You might know her? Her name is Chrysalis."

"What!?"

I turned to the new voice and saw a purple unicorn with a slightly darker purple mane running towards me. When she stopped in front of me, next to Lyra who was still staring at me, she gave me an angry look.

"Why do you need to see Chrysalis?"

I shrugged. "She sent me to your world. I just wanna go home."

The unicorn shook her head.

"None of us know where she is. She was banished from Equestria months ago. She could be anywhere."

I groaned for the millionth time. "Fine. Can you send me home?"

A small grumble came from my gut. My eyes widened.

"And fast. I'm hungry."

The mare gave me a strange look.

"So? Eat something here. And I'm sorry."

She looks down in sadness. I give her a curious look.

"What?"

She looks back up.

"I can't send you home. I don't know the spell. You're stuck here until you can find Chrysalis and make her send you home."

I took a moment to register what she just said in my brain before moaning and holding my head.

"No way. I want to go home!"

I kneel down in the dirt and punch the ground.

"I want to see my dad again! I know he's an arsehole, but he's still my father!"

I punch the ground again, tears were coming from my eyes. I felt some pressure on my shoulder. I look up to see Roseluck looking at me with a pitiful look and a hoof on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Crystal."

I sigh and pat her hoof. She pulls her hoof away and I stand up. I look over the crowd of ponies with tears in my eyes. They all look sad. For me? Three small fillies walk up from inside the crowd and up to me. They looked more curious then sad for me. The yellow one walked around me in circles.

"What type of monster are ya? Ya don't look like ya came from the Everfree."

The orange one nodded.

"Yeah! You look like an alien more then a monster!"

I rolled my eyes. "Technically, I am an alien."

All three of the fillies "Ooohed". The white one started tugging on my hoodie.

"What's this? Is this your coat?"

I laugh and roll my sleeve up.

"No. It's my jacket. This is my skin."

They all "Ooohed" again and started touching my skin. It felt kinda weird, but they were just curious.

"Applebloom!"

"Sweetie Belle!"

"Scoots!"

I looked over to the new voices. Three mares, one normal, one unicorn and the other....winged? Okay, this place has flying ponies. Seems legit. All three run up to the fillies and pull them back.

"Applebloom, don' talk to tha monsters!"

"Sweetie Belle, don't go anywhere near the thing!"

The winged one flew right up to my face with anger in her eyes.

"Don't come anywhere near Scoots again, you monster!"

A purple glow surrounded the winged one that was up in my face. It looked like she was being pulled away from me towards the purple unicorn.

"Rainbow! It's not a monster! He's an alien!"

Rainbow folded her forelegs. It almost made me laugh at the sight. They were trying to imitate human expression?

"How do you know he's an alien? Can he talk?"

"Actually, yeah. I can. My name is Crystal."

All of the mares look at me. I look down at Roseluck.

"If this is how I'm going to be treated, I'm going to find Chrysalis on my own."

I tried to turn and leave, but Roseluck holds me back.

"Ignore them! Please stay! Please, I never like leaving ponies helpless."

I look back down to her to see the sadness in her face. I pinch the bridge of my nose and sigh.

"Alright. Fine."

She lets go of me and I turn to face the crowd.

"Does anyone know any information about a pony named Chrysalis!?"

Rainbow tried struggling out of the unicorns....magic? Sure. Magic.

"See? If he wants to see Chrysalis, he HAS to be bad!"

I roll my eyes and look to Rainbow.

"Look! She sent me here, all I wanna do is ask her to send me back!"

She rolled her eyes as well. "Well, good luck finding her. And by the way, she isn't a pony. She's a-"

"Changelings!"

Rainbow gestured to Roseluck and nodded.

"Yeah a Changeling."

Roseluck shook her head and pointed behind me.

"No! Changelings! Coming from over there!"

I turned and looked where Roseluck was pointing. Everyone gasped, including me. A giant concentration of what looked to be black ponies were flying towards the town. The all landed around the crowd, blocking all exits. The purple unicorn shook her had and gave the Changelings a glare.

"What do you want!?"

One of the Changelings stepped forward towards me. He knelt down before me.

"Queen Chrysalis wishes to meet you, Crystal."

He got my attention at the mention of Chrysalis. I looked down to Roseluck and smiled.

"Found her. You don't need to help me now."

Roseluck half hearted a smile. I looked to the crowd and bowed.

"Thanks for the absolute horrible hospitality! I bid you a good bye!"

I sprang back up with a large smile on my face. I turn to the Changeling.

"Take me to her."

He nodded and turned and began walking. I was about to follow, before I felt a tug on my sleeve. I looked behind me and saw the purple unicorn holding me with her magic and giving me a dark look.

"What ever Chrysalis needs you for, it cannot be good for us. You might be used as a type of weapon against us! You're not leaving Ponyville!"

I try and pry her magic away but fail.

"Let me go! I want to go home!"

Roseluck and Lyra give me sad looks. The ponies from before, including Rainbow, all walk around me and form a sort of perimeter around me, preventing escape. The unicorn looked up at me with a sad look.

"I'm sorry, but it has to be this way. My name is Twilight Sparkle. This is Applejack and Rarity."

I scoffed and she let go of my sleeve. I give her a dirty look. The Changeling from before saw that I was being held back. I didn't bother trying to do something stupid to escape. I didn't understand how magic works, so I didn't wanna risk it. The Changeling stepped towards me.

"Our Queen wishes to see him, Sparkle. You can't hold him back! He's a giant compared to all of you! He'll crush you!"

Roseluck shook her head. "No he won't! He said it was one of his rules to not hurt people who haven't hurt him!"

The Changeling growled and looked to me.

"Do you wish to see our Queen?"

I nod. "Yes. Can you help me?"

The Changeling frowned.

"Unfortunately, we have strict orders to not engage in any form of combat. Do not worry, we will return for you. I shall tell the Queen that you wish to meet her."

The Changelings all turn around and fly high up in the sky. I groan and glare at Twilight.

"You stopped my only chance of leaving this place!"

Twilight gave me a curious look.

"What's so bad about this place?"

I huff and point to each of the ponies surrounding me.

"These ponies here!!!"

When they were mentioned they moved away from me and turn to face me. Applejack...I think that one is Applejack. She stepped forward with a look of curiosity.

"Wha's so bad about us?"

I huffed once again and got on my hands and knees and did an imitation of a mares voice.

"Stay away from that monster! He'll bloody kill you!"

The 3 mares, even Rainbow, looked down in sadness. I huffed and turned around.

"I'm going to find a place to stay."

I felt two tugs on either side of my body. I look down and saw that Lyra was on my right and Roseluck was on my left.

"I'll let you sleep at my place! You can stay with me!"

I looked to Lyra and saw that she was just examining my hands. I pulled away from Lyra and nodded to Roseluck.

"Okay. Lead the way, Roseluck."

Rose nodded and blushed. "My friends call me Rose."

I smile and wave a hand.

"Lead the way, Rose."

Rose smiled and walked towards her house. I followed next to her. It took me this long to realize something. I reach behind me and smiled.

"My bag! Yes!"

I reach back and pull it off. I unzip the front pocket and pull out my DSi.

"Aw yeah. This gunna be great!"

I fist pump the air and throw my bag back on. I flip open my DSi and start it up. This time I was playing Professor Layton and The Lost Future. Rose stared at my device with interest. I glanced at her and waved the device.

"It's called a DSi. And no, you can't play it without fingers."

"What's a finger?"

I sigh and hold my DSi with one hand, wiggling the fingers on the other.

"These are fingers."

Rose did the "Oh right" face and continued walking. We reached her house and walked inside. I thought the place looked rather nice. I looked down at Rose who was smiling at me.

"What do you think?"

I walk around and examine stuff lying about.

"It's not home, but its good...."

I slumped down into a squatting position.

"Home...."

Rose rested her hoof on my shoulder and smiled.

"Well, this can be your new home!"

I smiled and rest my hand on her hoof.

"Thanks, Rose."

She smiled and I stood up.

"So, where's my bed?"

She sheepishly pointed to the couch.

"I'm sorry, Crystal. I'll get Rarity to make you a bed suitable for your size but for this night, it's the couch."

I laughed and walked over to my one-night bed.

"At least it isn't a dungeon or anything, right?"

Rose giggled. "That's good. I'm going to get to work on in my greenhouse. You okay sitting here by your lonesome?"

I nodded. "Sure. I got my DSi and my laptop to entertain me."

Rose smiled and headed out the back door. I sit on the couch and begun solving puzzles like a pro. After a few minutes I got bored and decided to listen to some tunes on my laptop. I crack it open and start it up. I go into my iTunes and play one of my favourite songs.

Youtube Video

I nod my head in time with the music with my eyes shut. and begun singing along.

You,

Party hard (party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard...)

I look up and saw the last thing i wanted to see. Rose was watching me sing the song the entire time. She was smiling.

'Why is she smiling?'

"Your voice is amazing!"

I nervously scratch the back of my head.

"Nah. Don't praise me. Praise the man who wrote it. Andrew WK. The Party King!"

"Did somepony say 'Party'!?"

I recoil back at the sudden appearance of a pink mare.

"Wheredidyoucomefrom?!"

The mare giggled and leaned towards me.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!"

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Three - Apology

I blink and shake my head in confusion.

"Where in the living hell did you come from?"

Pinkie Pie giggled again and leaned in closer to my face.

"I came from Sugar Cube Corner, silly!"

I shake my head in serious confusion.

"But...how....you....ugh. Brain are not working."

Pinkie leaned away from my face and started jumping up and down.

"Okay! Now I have to throw you a "Welcome To Ponyville" party, Mr. Alien!"

I look up at the hyperactive mare with disbelief.

"First, Mr. Alien would be my father. I'm only 15, so don't call me Mr. anything. The name is Crystal. Second, party? No thanks."

What came next shook my perception of reality. Pinkie stopped jumping in mid air and slowly descended to the ground. She had the saddest look I've ever seen on her face and her mane was now deflated.

"No...party?"

I shake my head cautiously. "No party. I hate parties. Besides, I thought only friends have parties with other friends."

Pinkie got even sadder at that. "You don't consider me a friend?"

I shook my head nervously, not expecting what she could do.

"No. I don't. We only just met, Pinkie."

Pinkie put a hoof to her chin in thought. She stands up with her mane still deflated and disappears in a poof of smoke. I turn to Rose with a creeped out look.

"What just happened?"

Rose was staring at me with shock. I wave my hand in front of her face.

"Ummm...Rose?"

She shook her head and looked back at me.

"You're only 15? You're younger then I thought. Way younger."

I laugh and scratch the back of my head.

"Sorry I forgot to mention that. Anyway, what's Pinkie doing?"

Rose shrugged. "Try and make you her friend, I guess. She's friends with everypony but you right now."

I groan and turn my laptop off. I close the lid and stow it back inside my bag.

"Don't you consider me your friend, Crystal?"

I look up at Rose. She had a disheartened face.

"Of course you're my friend. You're the only pony who wanted to actually help me. Thanks."

Rose's face was lifted and she was smiling again.

"Now, as I said before, I am hungry. What have you got to eat?"

Rose turns and walks into her kitchen.

"I have some apples, some carrots, a lot of roses, some dandelions-"

"Have you got any meat? I'm starving."

I heard a crashing noise from the kitchen and saw Rose run into the room with a worried look on her face.

"Meat!? You eat meat!?"

I nod my head slowly. "Yes? So? My kind are omnivorous, which means we eat vegetables and meat."

Rose slumped down onto the floor with a look of relief.

"Thank Celestia. I thought you were going to eat me or something."

I laughed and help her off the floor.

"Nah, too chewy."

Me and her share a good laugh. Rose was the first person I've ever met who just accepts me for me. Besides Chrysalis of course. Wonder what she needs me for? She spent an entire day asking me questions and talking with me. A knock comes from the front door. Rose stops laughing and goes over to answer the door.

"Hello?"

"Hello Rose. We would like to talk with Crystal, please."

"Sure, come on in."

I groan after realizing whose voice that was. It was that unicorn. Rarity, I think. Sure enough she, Applejack and Rainbow walk into the room. Along with the three fillies whose names I just barely remember. Scoots, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle.

"Hello, Crystal."

I wave her off and look away.

"What do you want?"

She looked insulted for a few seconds before regaining her composure.

"We, Applejack Rainbow and I, would like to apologize."

Rainbow flew up in the air.

"I'm not!"

Rarity pulls Rainbow down with her magic. And gives her a stern look. She turns to me with an expectant look.

"Do you forgive us?"

I huff and groan. "No."

All three of the mares looked insulted. I didn't care. I get up and walk over to Rainbow and kneel at her level.

"What is it you find about me that you just hate?"

Rainbow looked taken aback.

"I don't hate-"

"Then why don't you want to apologize? Do you hate me because I'm different? Do you hate me because I'm bigger?"

Rainbow was now almost curled up in a ball with a sad look on her face.

"I...I..I..."

"Do you hate me because Scoots was curious about the alien? Or...."

I smile wickedly. "Do you hate me because you're afraid of me?"

Rainbow was near the edge of tears. "I...don't hat-"

"Then why don't you wanna apologize? Do you hate my eyes? Do you hate my hair? What is it about me that you just cannot stand?!"

I slam my fist on the ground, causing everyon- everypony to jump back in fear. Rainbow was still curled up in a ball, tears were coming from her eyes. She looks up at me.

"I don't hate you."

I get back up and walk over to the couch.

"Then why do you act like you do?"

I sit on the couch and lean back in it.

"Are you trying to show that you're a tough one? Are you trying to prove something? Are you trying to fool yourself into thinking your stronger then me?"

She stays in the curled up ball, not saying a word. After a few seconds I sigh and walk over to her. She looks up at me with tears.

"You were right."

What.

She gets up and stands, shaking, and looks right into my eyes.

"I was trying to make it sound like I'm not afraid of you. If ponies thought I was afraid of an alien, they would think I was weak. I just couldn't take that."

After hearing that I threw my head back and laugh heartily.

"Oh, Christ. You're one of those ponies."

I get back up and leap onto the couch. Rainbow walks over to me with a curious look. Scoots, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle follow her over to the couch and she sat next to me.

"One of what ponies?"

I look at her and the other three fillies.

"Never mind. So, you ready to give me a proper apology?"

Rainbow nods and smiles. "I'm sorry, Crystal."

I smile and look to the fillies.

"Why are you three here?"

Scoots jumps up on my lap.

"We wanna know how you got your cutie mark!"

I give her a confused look.

"Cutie what?"

Rainbow tilts her head to the side.

"You don't know what a cutie mark is?"

I shook my head and rub Scoots mane.

"No. Human's don't have cutie marks. Oh! Are those the things on your arse?"

Rainbow shook her head. "Flank. And yeah. They represent your special talent."

I roll my eyes and look at Scoots.

"I don't have a cutie mark or a special talent."

Scoots, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle gasp.

"You should join or club!"

Rainbow facepa- hoofs? Rainbow facehoofed and Rarity sighed. Applejack walks up behind Applebloom and looks at me.

"I'm sorry, sugar cube. Jus' ignore them. Applebloom, he jus' said humans don' get cutie marks."

Applebloom gives me the saddest look ever.

"Then how do ya know what your talent is?"

I sigh and shrug. "We don't have set talents where I'm from. You kinda have to make your talent by studying and learning how to do it right."

Scoots laughed. "Sounds like your world would be perfect for Twilight. She's such an egghead."

I laugh and stand up, making Scoots fall off my lap.

"Thanks for the apology, girls. But Rose, I'm still hungry."

Rose gasped and ran back into the kitchen. I turn to the girls as they were leaving.

"Do you girls know a mare called Pinkie Pie?"

All of them turn to me and nod.

"Yeah! Pinkie is friends with everypony!"

I nod back and wave a hand.

"Later, girls."

They wave back and leave the threshold. Rose comes back with an apple for me. I thank her and take a bite. It tasted amazing!

"Rose, what did you put in this apple? You didn't drug me, did ya?"

Rose laughed and sat on the couch next to me.

"No, it's from AJ's farm. The Apple Family sell the best apples in Equestria."

When she said Equestria, I remember Chrysalis telling me that she would take me to a place called Equestria. Wow. She actually did take me to her world.

The only big question left was why she took me here.

-----Somewhere In The Everfree Forest-----

Deep within the dangerous forest was the Changeling Hive. Chrysalis sat in a very large throne inside a room that resembled the throne room of Princess Celestia. Chrysalis had just gotten informed that Crystal wishes to meet her. She was also told that Crystal is being held against his will in Ponyville by Twilight Sparkle. She gets up from her throne and wanders into a room adjacent to the throne. She steadily walks in and see's three very old Changelings huddled around a cauldron. One of them bows to Chrysalis.

"Ah, my Queen. To what do we owe the pleasure?"

Chrysalis cleared her throat.

"I have sent Crystal to Equestria and he landed off target. He was meant to arrive here with me. Are you sure you're right about him?"

The Changeling nodded and looked into the cauldron.

"He shall be the one that will truly love you, feeding you and the hive for the rest of his life."

Chrysalis nodded. "Okay, then. But, I have hit a sort of...speed bump."

The three Changelings looked up to their queen in curiosity. Chrysalis sighs and lowers her head.

"I have fallen for him. I spent an entire day with him, and around me he acted nice. Towards others he didn't act so much in kind."

Chrysalis raised her head. "He's the only one who has acted like that towards me besides my subjects, but they're expected to. He wasn't. I felt...happy around him."

The three Changelings smiled.

"This is a problem?"

Chrysalis nodded. "Yes. I did not plan on falling for him!"

She stomped her hooves on the ground in frustration.

"And now that Twilight Sparkle has him! She won't let him go any time soon, either!"

The Changelings looked confused.

"Not to be rude, my queen, but you're a Changeling."

Chrysalis looks at them like they were idiots for a moment, before she realized what they were saying.

-----Rose's House-----

Crystal was playing Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter on his DSi while Rose was talking to Rarity in the kitchen. Crystal couldn't hear them.

"Rarity, I need you to make a mattress for Crystal, please. The only reason I'm asking you is because they don't sell them anywhere near his size, so I wanted to ask you to make his custom sized. I can pay good money for it!"

Rarity raised a hoof to Rose.

"I accept the job, but I don't want payment. This is for Crystal. I can't stand to think that he would be sleeping on that couch forever."

Rose had to stop herself from leaping over the table and grabbing Rarity in a tight hug.

"Thank you, Rarity! You have no idea how much I appreciate that!"

Rarity smiles and leans in towards Rose.

"Have you found anything out about him? Is he a nice person? Besides what I saw him do to Rainbow, of course. But she needed that."

Rose nodded and rested her head on her hooves.

"He's 15 and likes to play with his devices a lot. That's all I know about him, Rarity."

Rarity gasped and looked shocked. "He's only 15? Wow. I don't think I want to see him fully grown!"

The mares share a laugh and a knock comes from the front door. Rose gets up and walks through the kitchen and past Crystal, who looked like he was struggling in his game, to the door. She opened the door to reveal a black coated unicorn with a green mane.

"Hello, my name is Chrissy. Can I see Crystal?"

Rose gave her a suspicious look before nodding her head. She turned her head slightly, not taking her eyes off the pony at the door.

"Oh, Crystal?!"

"Yeah?"

"Somepony is here to see you!"

"Tell em I'm busy! Oh god, fuck you Wilfre!"

Rose giggled slightly at his outburst and looked to Chrissy.

"I'm sorry, but he is busy right now."

Chrissy growled and shouted past Rose.

"Crystal it's me, Chrissy!"

There was a loud crashing noise and Crystal appeared behind Rose with a smile.

"Chrysalis! You have no idea how-"

"Chrysalis?!"

The Changeling and the human look at Rose nervously.

"I didn't mean-"

Rose slammed the door in Chrysalis' face and gave Crystal a sad look.

"She might be dangerous, Crystal!"

"What's going on here?"

Rarity walked in from the kitchen and was now behind Crystal.

"What's going on?"

Rose pointed at Rarity.

"Keep an eye on Crystal for me. Chrysalis is trying to get to him. I need to tell Twilight!"

Rarity nodded and pointed at the couch.

"Get onto that couch, now!"

Rose exited the house and ran towards the Library of Twilight Sparkle. It took her a moment to figure out that Chrysalis wasn't at the house any more, but she didn't care. She ran into the library and saw Twilight giving Spike a scroll. Rose knew that she must be sending a letter to the Princess, so she ignored it.

"Twilight, Chrysalis is running around town trying to get to Crystal!"

Twilight looked scared for a few seconds before sighing.

"Then I'm glad that I just sent a letter to the princess about Crystal. She will respond-"

Spike just burped up a scroll the moment Twilight said Crystal's name. She picked it up with her magic and read it out loud.

"To my faithful student Twilight,

If she is after Crystal, we must stop her from getting to him.

What does trouble me is why she is after him. We will find out soon enough.

But for now, protect Crystal from Chrysalis.

I'm counting on you.

From your teacher, Princess Celestia."

Twilight lowered the scroll and looked at Rose.

"Where is he?"

"At my house with Rarity. She said she would look after him while I was gone."

Twilight nodded and walked to the door of the library.

"Let's go!"

When the two ponies got to the house, they saw the door was ajar. They turned to each other with sad faces. They sneaked inside the house and saw Rarity was knocked out and on the floor. Chrysalis was talking to Crystal, who was sitting on the floor next to Rarity, brushing her mane with his fingers.

-----1st Person-----

I was brushing Rarity's mane after Chrysalis had knocked her out.

"You didn't have to do that."

Chrysalis nodded. "I'm sorry."

I look up at her and laugh. "So this is what you look like, huh? You look cool."

Chrysalis smiled at me. I looked down at Rarity.

"So, when are you going to take me home?"

"Never."

I froze for a second and look back up at her.

"What?"

"The reason I brought you here was so you could feed my hive."

I looked terrified. "What? Look, I don't have much meat on my bones!"

Chrysalis sighed. "No. My hive feeds off love. The Prophets of Old told me that you were the one who would feed my hive for the rest of your natural life."

I was relieved, but confused.

"Who would I love? I don't love anyone. I might like Rose a lot, but I'm not in love with her."

Chrysalis took a breath and was about to respond, before a blast of magic shot her. She fell over, knocked out, while Rose and Twilight walked into the room. Rose ran over to me and gave me a hug.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright!"

I smile and pat her back. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Twilight walked over to Chrysalis and picked her up in a magical field.

"I'll report Chrysalis to Princess Celestia. You okay, Crystal?"

I nod faintly. "Sure, sure...."

I frown and look at Rose.

"She said she would never send me home."

Rose frowned and one arm hugged me. I feel something underneath my touch move and saw Rarity sit up and look around.

"What happened?"

I shrugged. "Chrysalis knocked you out."

Rarity gasped and stood up. "I'm sorry, Rose! I failed keeping Crystal safe!"

Rose smiled and rested a hoof on Rarity's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Rarity. He's safe for now. Chrysalis can't hurt him."

"I think she won't hurt him, actually."

I look at Twilight with a confused look.

"Why not?"

Twilight raised a hoof.

"I'll find out when she is conscious."

Twilight walks out the door with a knocked out queen following behind her. Rarity stands up and heads for the door.

"I best be off. Good bye, Crystal and Rose."

I nod and waved to Rarity as she left. I looked to Rose and smiled.

"When you said this is my new home I hope you meant it because I ain't leaving soon."

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Four - Rough New World

I was sitting in a tree in the middle of a park somewhere in Ponyville. I had my journal with me and I was just reading my entries.

Complete Kingdom Hearts II Lets Play,

Continue Pokemon White 2 Lets Play

Do more Minecraft Voltz

Buy 2 bottles of Coca Cola

I highly regretted buying the coke. I threw up after drinking an entire bottle in one go. Just remembering that day makes me feel sick. I was just sitting in the tree minding my own business when suddenly, I hear a filly.

"Wow, look Silver Spoon! It's a freak in a tree!"

I was busy reading, so it took me a few seconds to realize they were talking about me. I shrugged and continued my reading.

"Hey, freak! What are you doing?"

I ignore her and keep reading.

"Hey! Answer me!"

I roll my eyes and lower my journal and look down at the two fillies.

"Fuck off."

I raise my journal back up to eye level and keep reading.

"Hey freak! Nobody tells me-"

"Are you deaf!?"

She cringed at my response.

"When I say fuck off, you fuck off! Understand!?"

I continue my reading when I hear crying. Curious, I lower my journal and look back at the filly. She had tears running down her face.

"Y-Y-You didn't have t-t-to shout."

"You didn't have to call me a freak."

She sniffles and nodded her head.

"I'm sorry."

I once again sigh and raise my journal back up.

"Whatever. If you're really sorry, I'd advise not doing it again."

She nods and turns around.

"Come on Silver Spoon."

The two fillies walk off and leave me to read.

"Woah! I can't believe it!"

I groan and lower my journal for the fiftieth time to see Scoots, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looking up at me with respect.

"Can't believe what?"

"Ya made Diamond Tiara cry! Ah can't even get her ta stop talkin' yet all ya had to say was-"

"NANANANANANA! Do NOT say that word and if you ever do I will deny ever saying it, understand? And is her name really Diamond Tiara?"

Scoots nodded. "Yeah. She's mean."

I laugh and look back at my journal.

"If my name was Diamond Tiara, I think I'd commit suicide."

"What's suicide?"

I lower my journal and look at the three fillies.

"Suicide is when somepony decides that life is too hard or that they hate themselves, then they kill themselves."

The three fillies look back at me sadly.

"Do you want to do that?"

I stare at them for a few seconds before sighing, closing my journal and placing it back in my pocket.

"I thought about it once. Heh, hell. I even tried it once or twice."

All the fillies looked even more saddened.

"Did you think life was hard or did you hate yourself?"

I shook my head. "I really can't remember."

I glance at the three fillies and jumped down and gave them a serious look.

"Look, if I ever catch you even thinking about that, I will never forgive you. My world was cruel, still probably is. So never mention what I just told you to anypony, got it?"

The fillies nodded and I sighed with relief.

"Good. Now off with ya. I need to do some things."

"Can't we jus' watch?"

I sigh again and pinch my nose. "Sure. I was gunna check if I can get Internet here."

I reach back and grab my laptop. I crack her open and sit at the tree trunk. The three fillies all surround me and watch as I check for any connections. There are none. Damnnit. Might as well check if I still have my Doctor Who episodes. Yes!

"Aw yeah! I know what I'll be doing tonight!"

Sweetie Belle pointed at the Doctor Who episodes.

"What are those?"

I smile and open Doctor Who Series 5 Episode 1. I turn to her and wave a hand mystically over the screen as Matt Smith and his crashing TARDIS fall through the sky.

"The best show ever. Girls, I'd like you to meet the Doctor."

Applebloom was sitting on top of my head. She tapped my forehead.

"Doctor who?"

I smile and laugh.

"That's the question, isn't it?"

(Authors Note: Great now I wanna watch Doctor Who.)

-----Same Park, Some Time Later-----

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo all gasp as River tried to shoot the Doctor, but failed to kill him. Sweetie Belle pointed a hoof to the screen.

"It's a fixed point in time! You can't do that! It's impossible!"

I laugh and rub Sweetie Belle's mane.

"That was my exact reaction when I first watched this episode."

Scoots nudged me with a hoof.

"How can she do that?!"

I laugh and look up at the sky. It was now close to night time.

"It will all make sense soon, trust me. But for now..."

I close the lid of the laptop.

"...it's time to head home."

All three of the fillies made the cutest "Awww" noise I have ever heard.

Applebloom jumped off my head and the girls all stood in front of me as I placed my Laptop back inside my bag.

"I seriously need a charger now."

I clap my hands together and nod.

"Right so tommorow we can see what happened to all of reality, alrighty?"

They nodded, but Sweetie Belle gave me a sad look.

"Can you tell us why the Doctor hates the Daleks please?"

I nod and rubbed her mane.

"Yeah. It's a long story, but I'll be happy to explain it."

They all smile and run off, towards home I assumed. I also had other TV shows on my hard drive, as well as movies. And yes, they're all illegally obtained. But since I'm not on earth any more, I doubt that makes a difference. I decided to head to Twilights house tommorow and see if she can charge my laptop somehow.

-----During The Doctor Who Marathon, Twilight's 1st Pony Perspective-----

I had Chrysalis restrained against a table under my library. She was knocked out right now, but she was going to wake up soon. And I have a hunch about her plans with Crystal. As she wakes up, she looks frantically around the room. Her eyes rest on me.

"What am I doing here?"

I jump up onto a stool next to the table.

"Interrogation."

She groans and gives a limited nod,

"Okay, fine. Ask away, Sparkle."

"What do you want with Crystal?"

Chrysalis turns her head away from me. I lean in to her ear and whisper.

"The more cooperative you are, the faster you can get out of these restraints."

She sighs and turns towards me as I lean back.

"I, we, need him to feed us. My hive and I are starving. The Prophets told me that he would fall for me and feed the hive for the rest of his life."

I gave her a look of disbelief.

"And telling him that would make him fall for you?"

She was going to respond, but held it back.

"Next question. Why can't you get somepony else to love you? You did a great job convincing my brother."

"Pure, unadulterated love is far more powerful then forced love."

I nod and jot down the notes.

"Next question. What would you do if he didn't fall for you?"

She shook her head.

"The Prophets said that if he stayed around me long enough and got to know me he would love me."

"Well, clearly that isn't working."

She grunted at my response.

"Really? You don't say."

I sighed and put my notes down.

"Last question. Do you love him back?"

She blushed and was lost for words.

"I-Ah-Well-Um."

My jaw hits the floor.

"No way! You do!"

She looks at me angrily.

"So what?! And really, can you blame me!? All I want is for my hive to not starve to death!"

I really couldn't argue with her on that. I'd do the same thing for my subjects.

"You can go about it an entirely different way, though."

She shook her head.

"The Prophets predict the future, and although sometimes they may twist words, they are always right. He will love me. And I him. Together, we will feed my hive! Are we really hurting anypony by taking him away from here?!"

I nod. "Roseluck, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie and I. And more importantly since you've taken him from his father. Now no matter what happens, thanks to you, somepony will get hurt. If you send him home like he wants or take him, you'll be hurting us. You leave him here, you and his father will be hurt."

She takes al this in and finally realizes what she has done.

"And no matter what, thanks again to you, Crystal will be hurt. I can tell he likes you. Not in the same way, granted. He likes you like a friend. If you leave, you'll be hurting him. If you take him away from us, you'll hurt him. Believe it or not, he likes Roseluck as well as you."

She turns her head away from me. I try a few more times to get a response, but fail. I sigh and give up.

"I'll come down in the morning to check up on you."

She doesn't respond as I climb back up to the ground floor. As I look out the window I see Crystal walking happily towards Roseluck's home. I smile and ascend the stairs to my bed and flop down onto it. I fall asleep the moment my head touches the soft pillow.

-----The Morning-----

I wake up on my horrible couch bed. Me and it have done some major bonding over the night. I must've hit this couch more times then I got killed by Psycho's in Borderlands 2. God damn those things are bitches. I sit up and stretch my arms then rub the back of my head and looked down. Rose was lying at the other end of the couch on top of my legs.

"Even though I find this adorable, I want to actually get up."

I moved my legs out from underneath her, waking her up. She shoots up and finds herself looking at me with my smug smile. She starts blushing and frantically looking around the room.

"I-Uh-Ah-Well-"

I grab her in a tight hug and swing her around. I was laughing and so was she.

"Were you trying to sleep with me or something? Huh? Huuuuuh?"

We continued laughing while I was swinging her around. When we stopped I lowered her onto the ground and grinned. I walked over to my bag and grabbed my laptop from inside. I turn my head to see Rose walking towards me.

"Gotta go see Twilight now. Then I have an appointment with three fillies. Bye, Rose!"

She smiles and waves as I exit the house.

-----Under The Library, An While Before Crystal Woke Up

I went to check up on Chrysalis this morning to ask her more questions. I reported my findings to the Princess and she said to keep her here for a few more days. She'll come down and check up on her soon. I sat in the stool and Chrysalis was already awake.

"New Question. If Crystal would never love you, would you send him home?"

"No. I couldn't do that to him."

I cock my head to the left in confusion.

"Why not?"

-----The library, Present----

I walk into the library with a smile on my face and a laptop in my arms.

"Hey, Twilight?! I need a favour!"

Twilight emerges from a stair case in the floor that I did not notice before. Chrysalis followed her up. She faces me with a grim look.

"I will take you back home with Twilight and myself."

I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I jump up in the air and fist pump.

"Sweet! Oh thank you so mu-"

"Don't thank me. In fact, you may hate me."

I frown and walked up to her.

"Why?"

She closed her eyes and her horn glowed. My vision was filled with green light. When it cleared, I was in a wasteland. I looked around and saw some destroyed houses. I turn around and saw Chrysalis looking emotionless on a small hill. Twilight was next to her with a disheartened look.

"I thought you said you would take me home?"

Chrysalis nodded and looked down to me.

"We are on earth. In your home town."

She waved a hoof over the landscape.

"You were here during the year 2013, correct? Crystal, welcome to the year 5476."

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Five - Time Flux

I scratch my head and look back at Chrysalis. Why did she bring me to the future?

"Okay. Thanks for showing me the future. Can you take me back to 2013 now please?"

Chrysalis looked down at me in sadness.

"I cannot travel through time."

I gave her a confused look.

"Then how did you bring me here?"

Chrysalis walked down the hill and towards me. I heard the sand crunch under her hoofs.

"This is the present. I didn't have to travel through time to get here."

I took a good few seconds to let that sink in. I slowly shook my head in disagreement.

"No. The present is 2013, not 5476!"

Chrysalis shook her head in sadness.

"I am so sorry."

Twilight slid down the hill and towards us.

"I don't understand. How can this be the present!? It was 2013 a day ago!"

Chrysalis wrapped a foreleg around my shoulders and sighed.

"Time flux."

My eyes widen in realization.

"Time is different between the two worlds?"

Chrysalis nods slowly. "One minute in Equestria could be any amount of time between one day or one thousand years here on Earth."

I shook my head in disbelief and pushed her foreleg off my shoulder.

"So what you're saying is that not even a fraction of a second has passed in Equestria the entire time we've been here, but if we go to Equestria right now and come back here it could be fifty years into the future."

"In short, yes."

I walk a few feet and turn back around. The wind was blowing from behind me, so my shaggy hair was waving in the wind.

"Then how did you magically get to my time period and find me?!"

Chrysalis stepped towards me and held a hoof out to me. "The Prophets told me the exact time and day to come to Earth and find you. It wasn't random or magical. It was fate."

I look down at the sand below my feet, then out towards the direction the wind was blowing.

"What happened?"

Twilight's horn glowed and she closed her eyes.

"I'm examining the atmosphere. There's a dangerous amount of nuclear energy in the atmosphere... I think your measure for it is 'radioactivity?'."

I sigh and nodded my head. "I just knew it."

I turned around and walked towards Chrysalis and Twilight, who was looking around in amazement. Chrysalis was looking at me expectantly.

"Nuclear warfare. One side attacked another. The other retaliated. We shouldn't stay here long. Especially me. Radioactivity kills humans. Not so sure about magical ponies, though."

Chrysalis nodded and closed her eyes. Her horn glowed and the same light filled my eyes. The light cleared and we were back in the library. I look up at Chrysalis.

"Human's are a stupid race, I will admit."

Chrysalis looked down at me in sadness.

"I am sorry. I didn't think it through when I sent you here."

I sighed and patted her on the back.

"Nah, don't worry. Sorry won't fix my planet and neither will getting angry at you."

She looked back at me with happiness. I smile a tiny bit before pulling my arm away and clapping my hands together.

"Right, so Twilight. I need to know, can you charge my laptop magically?"

I know what you're thinking. How could I get over the fact that Earth and humanity are doomed so quickly? Well, I'm not over it. I may have had no friends and my father was my only family, but I dearly missed the great things about humanity. DeadMau5, The Internet, Hot Dogs, Nintendo, Square Enix and most importantly, Coca Cola. I loved the great things that spawned from humanity.

So yeah, while I was distracting you with all that information Twilight gave my devices infinite power and Chrysalis was placed back in restraints until Celestia came.

Speaking of Celestia, I kinda wanna meet her. Twilight mentioned that she had a sister named Luna. What I'm looking forward to is meeting them and being disrespectful. Technically, I'm not an Equestrian citizen. So that'll be fun to do. Mwhahaha.

Anyway, while I was distracting you with that piece of information as well, I had exited the library and sat down in the tree in the park, waiting for Applebloom, Scoots and Sweetie Belle to some by and watch the episode of Doctor Who we were up to. What I got instead was Rainbow, Rarity and AJ. I nodded my head towards the mares.

"G'day."

Rarity shook her head and held a hoof out.

"We need to talk."

My face slumped into a look of disappointment.

"Lemme guess. The three fillies told you about the things I said? Please don't tell me they said fuck, because I hold no responsibility to that."

AJ rested her hoof on my shoulder. The three mares didn't look mad. They looked sad. Almost sympathetic.

"Listen, sugar cube. Applebloom told me wha' ya told her about suicide."

Oh crap.

"Please don't tell me she tried doing it? Because honestly, I told them not to!"

AJ shook her head and took her hat off.

"No. She told me tha' ya said ya tried doin' it once or twice."

I was so happy she didn't say fuck and kill herself. I waved a hand and opened my laptop.

"That's in the very very very distant past."

Rarity used her magic to slam my laptop shut.

"We need to talk about this."

I sighed and cracked it back open again.

"I don't wanna talk about it."

AJ slammed my laptop shut.

"No. We wanna talk about it."

I reopen my laptop.

"I don't wanna talk about it!"

Rainbow flew forward and slammed my laptop shut. I gave her a deadpan look.

"You're seriously breaking my shit here."

"Scoots seemed worried about you, so I promised to get out why you did it!"

I sighed and nodded in defeat.

"Okay. Okay. Fine."

The three mares all sat in front of me. I sighed and looked at them.

"I thought I was useless to the world and how it was developing, so I cut my wrists and lied down in the bath tub."

"Why did you cut your wrists? Thats not so bad."

I looked at Rainbow and held a wrist up to her. The scar was still there but that wasn't what I was pointing out.

"There is a major vein or artery underneath the skin here. I forgot which. But I could've died from blood loss."

The mares gasp and I nod.

"Yeah. I look back now and see how stupid I was. If my dad didn't wanna take a bath I'd probably be dead now."

AJ stood up first, then Rarity and finally Rainbow.

"Thank ya, Crystal. We're sorry fer stirrin' bad memories."

I wave a hand and nod.

"It's fine. Now, can those three cute fillies please come out from behind the corner over there!?"

Three small heads pop out from behind the corner wall of the building the tree was out in front of. The three fillies walk up to me with sad looks.

"How did ya know?"

I laugh and pointed at my head.

"I'm smart. Now, who is ready for some Doctor Who!?"

As I said "Doctor Who" I rise to my feet and raise a fist to the sky. The three small fillies jump up and down.

"Yeah!"

I sit back down in time to see the three mares walking off with smiles on their faces. I smile as well. Applebloom climbs on top of me and taps my forehead.

"We wanna see the Doctor save all of reality!"

I chuckle and crack my laptop open as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sit next to me. And if you're wondering, yes. I did think Scootaloo's actual name was just Scoots until somepony told me. Hey, don't call me stupid. I'm the last of my kind. The legacy of the human race. As I play the episode, the fillies smile and laugh. I dunno what it is about these three, but seeing them happy makes me happy as well.

-----Sometime Later-----

As I close the lid the and the Doctor saves all of reality, the fillies cheer him on. That time travelling genius is my hero. I wish that I could have a TARDIS. Then I could go back to 2013...

Wait a minute.

If I ask myself where I'd rather be, I'd say here. I love these fillies like they were my own daughters and I wasn't about to leave them. Not to mention Rose would kill me if I left. Heh.

So, now I have admitted to liking Equestria and not having a need to return to Earth. I feel happy now. Like I have discovered my destiny or something mystical like that. Still, I'd like to know why Chrysalis brought me here. She didn't finish telling me that when I saw her at Rose's house. That reminded me. Gotta write something down in my journal. Hang on a bit.

Ask Rose to show me where Rarity lives and ask about clothing

Alright. Where was I? Oh right. Chrysalis didn't finish telling me why I was brought here. So, while you were reading all of that I sent the girls home and headed for Twilight's to talk to Chrysalis.

As I enter I see Twilight reading a book on the floor. I wave to her and she doesn't see me. I take this opportunity and sneak by her and down to where Chrysalis was being held. I see her on a metal table with restraints around her legs. She looks up at me and I hold two fingers to my mouth, silencing her. I sneak down and sit on the stool next to her. We stare at each other for a few seconds.

"Why did you bring me here?"

She sighed and looked away.

"I needed you to help feed my hive."

"How would I do that?"

"My hive feeds on love."

"Well, I don't love anyone right at the moment. Although, Rose is looking kinda interesting."

She snaps her head towards me with a look of sadness.

"The Prophets told me that you would love me and feed my hive!"

I shake my head.

"Me and you might be friends, sure. But love you? I don't know that much about you."

I lean over and unlock her restraints. She looks up at me, confused.

"Now we can talk like friends instead of prisoner and guard."

She smiles and sits up.

"So, tell me about yourself. If they said I could love you, then let's see how good they are at predictions."

She nods and takes a breath.

"I was born over 100 years ago..."

-----Sometime Later-----

"After Cadance and Shining Armour hurled me and my hive from Equestria, I snuck into the Everfree Forest. We have taken refuge there since. I've been waiting for the day to come when I would meet you finally."

I nodded. She had a really rough life. I stood up and looked behind me.

"I know you're there. Come out."

Chrysalis looked shocked when she heard a groan then saw Twilight come down along with a pegasu- no wait she had a horn as well....

What the fuck?

When they reached the bottom, I pointed to the pega-horn thingy.

"What's this, Twilight? Science experiment gone wrong?"

Twilight gasped, Chrysalis laughed and the pega-horn bowed it's head.

"I am Princess Celestia."

Whoops.

Chapter Six - Older Then I Look
View Online

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Six - Older Then I Look

I wave my hands in front of me, making me look like a complete tool. But hey, what would you do if you accidently insulted the ruler of an entire planet? Celestia laughed at my foolishness.

"Do not worry."

I wipe my forehead, thinking she might've sent me to hell or something.

"I thought you were a science experiment gone wrong as well."

What. Did I just get burned? I flip her the bird and turn away.

"Fuck you and have a nice day."

Once again I make Chrysalis laugh and Twilight gasp. The Princess laughs again.

"My apologies, Crystal. Now, I have been informed that you just went to Earth, correct?"

I nod and slump my arms to my side.

"Don't remind me. I'll never hear Nirvana play another album again. Oh shit! I missed the rest of Doctor Who!"

I fall onto my knees and wave a fist to the sky.

"God damnnit! Why?!"

I sigh and get back up on my feet, facing the Princess.

"Okay yeah. I went to Earth and the year was 5476. Last I was there it was 2013."

The Princess closed her eyes and continued to speak.

"What year were you born, Crystal?"

I shrug and look up in thought.

"1997. Why?"

She opened her eyes and smiled.

"That would make you 3479 years old."

What.

"What."

"Technically, you were born in 1997. So by going to the year 5476, you aged in a matter of mere seconds."

I look myself over and gave her a curious look.

"I'm not turning to dust."

She shrugged.

"Nonetheless, you're now almost as old as I am. I am 3789 years old."

God damn.

"Now for the other reason I've come here."

She gives Chrysalis a cold glare.

"I have a nice dungeon for you in Canterlot."

"Hold the flying fuck up."

Everypony watched as I walk in front of Celestia in between her and Chrysalis and outstretch my arms.

"She isn't going to any dungeon without a fight from me."

Celestia looks at me strangely.

"You do know I am an immortal, right?"

I shrug and reach into my back pocket.

"You do know that I have a weapon, right?"

She laughs and attempts to move around me.

"Right. Now Crystal, if you would-"

I pull my lock knife from my back pocket, flip the blade, and hold it in front of me towards Celestia.

"Back the fuck off."

Celestia's expression remains the same and Twilight gasps.

"You never said you had a weapon!"

"I didn't want to tell you. I never go anywhere without this thing."

Celestia laughs and continues to move around me towards Chrysalis.

"Twilight told me about your rules."

Fuck.

I place the knife back in my pocket and sigh. I give the Princess a pleading look.

"Please. She's one of my only friends I've ever had. And technically, she hasn't broken any laws or done anything bad besides knock out Rarity but peo- ponies don't get locked up because of that."

She closes her eyes in thought. I never had friends before, but I had a rule in case I ever did.

Never give up on your friends

Now, you might think of me like a knight or something because of my rules. Don't. I only have them to keep me out of trouble. Either that or it's just a moral standard of mine. Friends are important to me. Celestia opened her eyes and nodded.

"Fine. She is free to go."

I fist pump the air and jump dramatically.

"Woohoo! Aw yeah! Thank you so much Princess!"

She smiles and turns towards Twilight.

"But, Crystal. If she does do anything bad, it'll be on your head."

I stop jumping and silently curse.

"God fucking damnnit."

"I heard that."

The Princess turned to me and winked.

"I best be off. Canterlot can't be without me for much longer. Good bye."

As the Princess walks up the stairs Twilight follows. I turn to Chrysalis to find myself in a very tight hug from the Changeling Queen.

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Chrysalis! You're crushing me!"

She lets go of me and lies back on the metal table.

"Thank you so much, Crystal."

I nod and wave a hand.

"Yeah yeah. It was nothing."

I turned around and made my way up the stairs and saw Celestia disappear in a flash of white light. Twilight waved to me as I left but I chose to ignore her.

As I made my way out the library, I saw it. A pony with a brown colour scheme ran inside a giant blue police box. I close my eyes and shake my head just to make sure I was awake. When I looked back, he was gone. I stood silent for a moment, before laughing out loud to myself.

"Come on, Crystal? The Doctor doesn't exist."

As I walk down the streets of Ponyville towards Rose's home, I spot the three little fillies of my life. They all smile and run towards me.

"Crystal! Do you have any more Doctor Who?"

I laugh and scratch the back of my head.

"Well, no. I missed the future episodes and all I have are the old episodes of when he was David Tennant."

Each of the fillies looked extremely confused.

"Ah thought Matt Smith was the Doctor?"

I sigh and motion a hand towards a bench.

"Girls, it's time I told you about the Daleks and Regeneration."

They all smile and start walking towards the bench. I turn around and look up at the sky.

"I wonder what that crazy genius is up to right now..."

"Hey, Crystal! C'mon!"

I smile and turn back to the fillies.

"Comin'!"

I run over to them and land in between Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"Once upon a time, there was a planet called Gallifrey...."

-----The Next Week-----

Rose decided to wake me up by splashing water on my face. I can't complain when I say it did the job, but it was still annoying.

Rarity had just made me my custom mattress and I moved into Rose's guest room on the second floor. I told Rarity I would pay for the mattress. She declined, but I didn't care. Today I was getting a job and earning some money, then paying back Rarity.

Pay back Rarity for the mattress

New journal entry. I still keep this thing around, yes. It helps. I was flicking through the pages until I found some entries that I didn't write.

Get yerself a Nightmare Night costume! ~ Applebloom

Nightmare what?

Well, I was at the table eating some breakfast so I decided to ask Rose.

"Hey Rose? What's Nightmare Night?"

She laughed and continued eating.

"It's a holiday where children and teenagers dress up and go door to door asking for candy."

I laugh. It sounded exactly like Halloween. One problem with that.

"That sounds a lot like a holiday from Earth. Although, Aussies don't celebrate it."

"What's an Aussie?"

I look up at Rose. I never told her what Australia was.

"It's what you call someone from my old country, Australia. We've been stereotyped as a Bogan country full of people who think their country is the best in the world."

Rose giggled.

"Were you one of those people?"

I shook my head and leaned back in the chair I made (A plank of wood with 4 legs nailed into it.).

"I did think my country was the best, but I wasn't a Bogan. After all, Australia wasn't as bad as other countries."

She nodded and went back to her breakfast.

"So, you don't celebrate Nightmare Night?"

I pull my journal out and look at Applebloom's entry.

"For anyone else? Nah. For these fillies?"

I slam my journal shut and smile at Rose.

"Absolutely."

She smiles and yawns.

"It's in two days, you better find a good costume."

I already had an excellent one in mind. I get up from my crappy chair and walk over to my jacket and put it on.

"I'm going to AJ's to see if she needs any help around the farm. She always said she would appreciate the help."

Rose nodded and waved as I left.

"See ya, Crystal!"

I walk out the door and head in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. It was an early time, so not many ponies were out and about. I got a few "Hello"'s and some waves as I walked through the town. Who knew that these ponies would adapt to some random creature so quickly?

When I arrived at the apple orchard, I heard thumping noises. As I entered the farm, I saw a big red pony kicking apple tree's, making the apples fall flawlessly into the buckets he had below the tree. I began walking up to him to ask him where AJ was. He spots me before I got there. He starts running towards me.

Wait a minute. We're not that far apart.

Oh shit.

He starts running faster and faster. This cunt is going to ram me?! I begun running in the opposite direction but I was already to late. He knocks me up into the air with a great amount of pain and the fall just added to my injuries.

"Big Macintosh! That's Crystal!"

I see a very blurry AJ appear above my head, looking down at me with concern.

"Are ya alright, sugarcube?"

I reach up and place my hand on her cheek. I donned a really goofy smile.

"Pretty orange pony with cowboy hat."

I was fucking out of it. My mind has exited the hollow empty building called my skull. AJ blushed and my arm slumped down to my side as I fell unconscious.

When I woke up I was inside a room I didn't recognize. I looked around and found that I was lying on a bed, but my legs dangled off the edge. I removed the blanket covering me and try to stand up, only to fall back down onto the bed. Unfortunately, I hit the bed and slid off, causing me to land on the floor with great pain. I hear hoofsteps and AJ appeared in the door frame. Her eyes grew wide and she rushed over to pick me up.

"Woah, sugarcube. Ya gotta settle. Ya got hurt pretty badly."

I nod and try to get back on the bed. As I sat on the bed AJ smiled at me.

"Sorry fer Big Mac. He didn't know wha' ya were."

I nod and lie back down on the bed, legs danglin' and all.

"That's okay. I can't say I'm not angry at him, but I understand."

Be thankful my instinct for survival took over my rule of hurting people you big red cunt.

AJ smiles and looks behind herself.

"He's awake. Come on up!"

Big Mac and Applebloom walk into the room. A loud resounding snore echo's from downstairs. Applebloom walks up to me with my bag on her back and a sad look. I rub her mane.

"Thanks, Applebloom. Why the sad face?"

She reaches behind her and places something on the bed.

Oh fuck.

It was my lock knife.

"Why do ya have this? Were ya gunna hurt mah brother?"

I shook my head and pick the weapon up.

"No, Applebloom. I carry this with me wherever I go. I couldn't really trust anyone on Earth, so my dad gave this to me."

She places my bag on the bed as I put the knife back into my pocket.

I look up to Big Mac with an angry look.

"I'm waiting."

He sighs and walks forward.

"Sorry, feller. Didn't know who ya were."

I nod and hold out my fist. He looks at it before brofisting/hoofing me.

"Apology accepted. Now!"

I clap my hands together and jump out of the bed, swing my bag onto my back and reclap my hands. I point to AJ.

"I need some quick work. I have an idea for a Nightmare Night costume."

She shakes her head and points at me.

"Doesn't tha' hurt?"

I nod with a goofy grin.

"Very much so. However, I believe my current predicament is far more important."

She nods and motions to the doorway.

"Ya can help bucking the apples."

I rub my hands together and walk out the door.

"Right! Lets get this show going!"

I stroll down the stairs and outside to begin apple bucking.

-----Carousel Boutique, The Next Day-----

I had bucked the entire field of apples on my own, eager to be able to get Rarity to make me my costume. Right now, we had to get measurements done. It was going alright. Until...

"I am NOT taking off my undies! Fuck that!"

Rarity was looking at me with confusion.

"What is wrong, dear?"

I frown and sigh. I lean in towards her ear and whisper some things. Her face gets a massive blush as I lean back.

"Oh. I didn't know that about humans. Alright, I can see why you're reluctant now. But darling, we are all adults here-"

"AHEM! No I'm bloody not!"

"Okay, I'm an adult here. Surely we can be mature about this?"

I sit there for a second before sighing and standing up.

"Fine. But be mature, right?"

She nods as I take em off. When she see's it, she blushes and goes to grab some more tape. I hear her grumbling.

"It's not as big as I thought it would be."

"Hey! I'm only 15! And did you expect me to shove it in you or something?!"

She shakes her head and starts measuring me.

"I'm sorry, darling. I just expected more from a human. It left my mind about your age."

I nod and lean in to her ear.

"It gets much bigger when I'm older."

I give her a joke wink and she giggles.

"Good to know."

She finishes measuring and I put all my clothes back on.

"This was between you and me, understand?"

She nods and walks over to me.

"Of course, darling. Now, describe what you want me to make."

I smile as she pulls out a piece of paper and a pencil to sketch what I describe.

-----Nightmare Night------

"C'mon, Crystal!"

"Hang on a moment!"

Rose was waiting downstairs for me as I put my costume on.

"It's almost on!"

A knock comes from the door and Rose goes to answer it.

"Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and Scootaloo! Just in time, he's upstairs putting on his costume."

"I'm coming down!"

I walk down the stairs and the fillies gasp. I wore a suit with a bow tie and I had my hair styled exactly like Matt Smiths.

"Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, run."

The fillies laugh and I was shocked at their costumes.

Applebloom was a Dalek, Sweetie Belle was a Cyber Man, and Scootaloo was a Weeping Angel.

"Godamnnit, Scoots. You know I hate Weeping Angels."

She laugh and moved towards me every time I blinked.

"Don't do that! It scares the crap outta me!"

The fillies laugh and gather round me as I head towards the door. I looked at what Rose was wearing. She looked like a sorta vampire-pony mix. I looked down at my arch Nemesis's' and smile. I grab the door handle and yank it open.

"Allons-y!"

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Seven - Time Lord

Me and the CMC were walking down the streets of Ponyville going door to door collecting bagfuls of lollies and candy. Although it was rare, if I ever got any candy I'd share it amongst the fillies. I was never one for candy or chocolate, both of which made me sick to the bone. Everypony we visited loved the fillies costumes, but they didn't really notice I was wearing a costume. They kinda acknowledged it more as a suit instead of a costume. I didn't mind though. I still think I looked awesome. All I needed now was a piece of psychic paper and a sonic screwdriver.

As we finished a round of lolly baggin', I noticed that a stage was being set up for some kind of performance. I leaned down and pointed to it.

"You three go over there. I'll be there soon."

They all nod and rush over to the stage. I stand up and look over my shoulder.

"Alright, I know you're there."

A stallion with a brown coat walks out from his hiding spot in the bushes. I turn and fold my arms.

"So, are you who I think you are?"

The stallion nods and sighs.

"Yes. I am the Doctor."

I smile and look back over to the fillies. They were watching the band perform something similar to "This Is Halloween".

I look back at the Doctor and laugh.

"So, you here to take me away and bring me back to Earth?"

To my surprise, he shook his head and pulled out a thin metallic object.

"This is my sonic screwdriver, as you would know."

He walks up to me and grabs my hand, placing the device in my hands. I hold it up to my face and click the button to make sure it was the actual thing. It lit up the same blue colour of David's sonic screwdriver. I look to the Doctor and sigh.

"You're gunna regenerate soon, aren't you?"

He nods and backs away from me.

"Yes, but I'm not here to discuss that with you. Come with me."

He turns around and walks up to a small house with me behind him. He knocks on the door and a blonde pegasus opens the door.

"Ah, Derpy. Mind if I bring along a stray?"

I roll my eyes and follow him inside past the pegasus. He sat in the kitchen and looked around.

"You may have to sit on the floor."

I shrug and slam my arse on the floor. The Doctor turns to Derpy and motions her to leave. She nods and goes upstairs. He stretches and suddenly, his human form appears where he was once a stallion. He looks at me with confusion, a rare look to get from the man who saved the universe countless times.

"Why aren't you surprised to see me like this?"

I lean back and groan.

"Well, it's not everyday you see a brown stallion walk into a blue police box in a land where police call boxes don't exist."

He makes the "Oh right" face and leans back himself.

"I'm here to tell you how our tri-dimension works."

I nod slowly. "I have no idea what that is."

He points a finger at me and folds his arms.

"Which is why I'm here to tell you about them!"

I point a finger at my chest.

"Why me? I'm not special?"

He laughs and leans forward to slap my knee.

"You're older then I am! You aged within a time flux, which by the way no one has ever done! Of course you're special!"

I nod slowly and sit up straight.

"So, tell me about the tri-dimension."

He nods and places his hands in a clasp.

"Right. There are three versions of reality. You live in the one where I'm fictional and most other things are to. The one I live in see's this world as fictional, and the other one see's both mine and this world as fictional."

I nod slowly and look around.

"So, right now I'm in either a TV show, a book or a fairytale?"

He nods and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a DVD case and chucking it to me. The title read "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Royal Pony Wedding.

Well I'll be damned. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, AJ, Rarity and Twilight were on a cover with three others I haven't met yet. He leans in and points to the yellow pegasus.

"That's Fluttershy. You haven't seen her yet because she's been avoiding you. Don't take it personally, she's very shy."

His hand waves over the other two.

"You won't be seeing either of these two for a while. So I won't bother telling you about them."

I nod and pass the DVD back to him.

"Am I in the show?"

He laughs and waves a hand.

"No, you're not. Don't worry. Only the adventures of those six are shown most of the time."

I wipe my forehead and lean back.

"Anything else you wanna tell me?"

He smiles and nods.

"Yeah. Applebloom's birthday is coming up. I think she might like this."

He chucks me another screwdriver, but it was slightly thinner and the light shone pink. I shake my head.

"Where do you get these from?"

He taps his nose and winks.

"My secret."

Within my vision, I had a slight flash of Chrissy winking at me.

Secrets. Everyone has them. And this man had the biggest one. He stands up and nods to me.

"Right I best be off."

I stand up and hold out my hand.

"See ya, mate."

He smiles and shakes my hand.

"You'll see me as a different man, next time."

I laugh and pat his back.

"Aw, c'mon. You'll always be my favourite Doctor."

He chuckles and pats my back.

"Thanks, mate."

I nod and head for the door. I turn around and just see him stagger out into the back alley through Derpy's back door. Me and Derpy have had chats occasionally, so she didn't mind the Doctor bringing me in. As I left, I smile and look up at the sky.

"See ya soon, ya lunatic."

I pull my new screwdriver out from my pocket and grin.

"The crazy shit I can do with this thing."

I place it back in my pocket and walked over to where Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoots were. I decided to give Applebloom her present early. What kid hasn't dreamt of the day they got early presents? I tap Applebloom's shoulder, making her turn around. The other two don't notice me yet. I kneel down and hold her shoulder.

"Applebloom, how would you like an early birthday present?"

Her eyes grew wide and she violently nodded her head.

"Yes yes yes!"

I laugh and pull her screwdriver out from my pocket. She eyed it in my hand before reaching out and grabbing it.

"Is it real?"

I nod and pull my one out.

"Yep. And so is mine."

She grappled me in a tight hug-o-death.

"Thank ya thank ya thank ya!"

She released me as the other two fillies turn around and notice her. She holds it in her hooves and gives me a suspicious look.

"Where did ya get it?"

I smile and point behind me. The fillies followed my gaze and saw the Doctor standing next to his TARDIS. They all smile and went running for him, but I grabbed them and gave them a sad look.

"He just saved Donna's dad after stopping the Master. You know what happens now."

Their faces shrunk from excitement to sadness. The Doctor will regenerate into Matt Smith in his TARDIS. Let me explain something about Regeneration. When you regenerate you keep all your memories, but lose everything else. Your personality and thoughts are completely re-written. Before David Tennant regenerated into Matt Smith, he didn't seemed too overjoyed about it.

We all waved at him and he waved back. He turned and entered his TARDIS. We all saw it slowly disappear as it would take off to another time. We all just stared at the spot where the most amazing man in history just stood. I jumped up and clapped my hands together.

"Right. Me and Twilight decided to put together a sort of play. It'll be our time in a bit. Cheer me on!"

I began running around the crowd and towards the set of stairs that lead to the back stage. I saw Twilight and walked up to her. She gave me a happy smile.

"Ready?"

I laughed and strolled by her.

"I'm so ready."

-----Sometime Later-----

The crowd cheered on as I walked up to the stage wearing my normal clothing. I saw the fillies eye me weirdly, but they would love this. I had taken off my Matt Smith clothing so all I was wearing was my hoodie and pants. I clap my hands together.

"Right, so I hope you enjoyed the latest performances by many talented ponies! For those of you who didn't know, my name is Crystal. Now, me and Twilight have-"

Without warning, a sharp object had penetrated my chest. I looked down as everyone gasped. A long pointed shape escaped my chest. When it was withdrawn, my hands and head began glowing a shade of yellow.

(This is what it looks like to those who don't know)

Youtube Video

My hands and head erupted with great force of time energy. When it all cleared, I was wearing my Matt Smith costume with my hair styled the same way.

"Hello! I'm the Doctor!"

The crowd cheered for me as I bowed. See, the spear was Twilight's magic, but it didn't hurt me. The Regeneration energy? Twilight again. The mare bounded on stage and I picked her up in a hug. I let her down and motioned both my hands to her.

"I'd like to thank this mare for a lovely helping hoof!"

The crowd roars for the mare as she bows her head. I smile and make a bow myself.

"Thank you ladies and gentlemen you've been a lovely audience!"

I comically jump off the stage to the side and run around and meet up with the fillies.

"Tha' was amazing!"

"It was so cool!"

"I love your hair!"

I laugh and kneel down. I grab the three fillies in a massive hug.

"Thanks, girls."

I stand up and motion my head down the street.

"C'mon, girls. We gunna go eat the candy!"

The fillies smile and laugh as we walk down the street towards the tree we sat at to watch Doctor Who. Well, I sat down at the stump as they all sat around me. Applebloom was screwing around with her sonic screwdriver. I pulled out my DSi and my screwdriver and tapped her on the head.

"Like this, Applebloom."

I held the screwdriver to the DSi and sonicked it. The DSi lit up and was able to connect to the Internet from the other Earth the Doctor told me about.

"Sweet!"

I spin the screwdriver and kiss it.

"Oh the fun I'll have with you."

I stow it back in my pocket and saw Applebloom look down the screwdriver. I panicked and grabbed it from her.

"Sorry, Applebloom. I have no idea what that could do to you."

She nods sadly as I pass the screwdriver back to her.

"It works on a large variety of other things, though. It can unlock stuff, I know that."

She hums in thought before shrugging and putting it away. She turns to me and hugs me.

"Thanks Crystal."

Scoots and Sweetie Belle saw Applebloom hugging me. They joined in and started hugging me to. I smiled and hugged them all back.

"You're the best, Crystal."

I smiled and hugged them tighter.

"Nah. I'm just a broken soul who found angels."

Scootaloo looked up at me and held her hooves to her face. At first I thought she was crying, but then I realized she was impersonating a Weeping Angel. I laugh and grab her back in the hug.

"Not that kind of Angel!"

We all share a good laugh and lie as we were. After a while all the energy from the sugar had passed and they fell asleep on me. I grinned and closed my eyes. These girls were the best thing to have happened to me.

Was that creepy because I'm over 3,000 years old?

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Eight - Every Rose Has Its Thorn

I was awoken by Applebloom tapping me on the nose. The fillies and I slept through the night eating candy. I yawn and stand up, looking around. It was early in the morning and not many ponies were out yet. The fillies look up at me expectantly, waiting for me to tell them something. I swear, these fillies see me as a big brother. And you know what? I couldn't feel prouder. I loved them like a brother and by god I would protect them like one.

I clap my hands together and nod my head.

"Right, let's head home and get out of these costumes. Although I must admit, I look bloody amazing."

The three laugh and head home. I walk inside Rose's house and proceed upstairs to my room. I entered my room and begun undressing into my normal clothes. While getting dressed, I started thinking about all the things that have been happening. Like, Chrysalis expecting me to love her and feed her hive. Not to say I wouldn't mind at least giving it a try. But when I think about love, my mind wanders to Rose. How much she clearly cared for me, how much she wanted to help, how good a friend she is to me...

Would I be willing to enter a relationship with a pony? I really don't know. I am the last (and might I add, oldest) human left in existence. So, I have not much option left. Besides, it's only wrong if they're non-sentient. These ponies can clearly talk and have intelligent thought. So, maybe I would be ready to enter a relationship with a pony. A relationship with Rose maybe?

Hm.

At that moment, Rose decided to enter my room while I was dressing. I turn to her and smile.

"Ah, Rose. I was just thinking about you."

She didn't respond. I looked to where her stare was going. She was looking at my chest. I'm not one for bragging, but I had well toned muscles. I trained a lot in many fields of self defence and body building. Thanks to it, I had a well toned body. Not overly muscled, not under muscled. I was in the middle on the scale.

I look back up at her and wink.

"Like what you see?"

She blushed and shook her head.

"Um, sorry. The girls came back looking for you."

I look at her for a second before nodding and putting my shirt on. I swing my hoodie and jacket on and clap my hands.

"Right. Well, me and them have a date with whatever we can do with this."

I pull out my sonic screwdriver and flip it in the air, catching it and kissing it.

"God, I love you."

I laugh and stow it back inside my pocket. I looked to Rose, who was frozen on the spot, not doing anything. I lean down and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You okay?"

She shakes her head, coming back to the planet after visiting her dream world.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. It's just that you said you were thinking of me? What exactly were you thinking about?"

I thought about asking her, but thought better of it.

"Oh? I was thinking about how much you've been of great help to me lately."

I stood back up and exited the room. I waved a hand behind me as I climbed down the stairs and exited the building.

"See ya, Rose!"

As I exited the building I silently cursed myself for not telling her. I sighed and looked down to the three fillies and clapped.

"Right, what shall we do?"

I flip out my screwdriver once again and hold it in front of me. Applebloom grabbed hers out and did the same.

"Well, I really don't know. This mainly works on technology. I know! Let's see..."

I walk over to a nearby bench and take a seat, the fillies follow suit. I yank out my laptop and point the screwdriver at it. I sonicked it and it lit up. I stowed my screwdriver away and crack open the laptop. I fist pump the air as the screen starts up and instantly moves on to the log on screen.

"Yeah! 32 GB RAM, i7 Processor and a Nvidia GeForce GTX worthy graphics card! Sweet! Now, lets see if I can connect to the Internet...."

-----Rose's Perspective, A Few Minutes Ago-----

As I sat on the couch where Crystal once slept, all I could think about was him. I don't know why, but I just find something about him alluring. Like something about him just makes my heart melt. I wonder what he thinks about inter-species relationships?

I stop and laugh at myself.

Come on, Roseluck. You're not much for the eye, how could he possibly like you like that?

Well, I'll never know unless I ask him. I might as well. I mean, what have I got to lose? Chrysalis told him about her feelings and he still considers her a friend.

Okay, I'll ask him. As I get off the couch, a knock comes from my door. I groan and walk to my door and open it. In front of me was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They all had smiles on their faces and Scootaloo was jumping on the spot. I didn't need to ask who they were here for. It was obvious.

I nod and wave a hoof to them.

"Hang on, I'll go get him."

I turn around and climb up the stairs, racking my brain to figure out what it is I like about him. As I enter the bedroom, two things come to mind. One, he is half naked. The other, is his smile. When he saw me he smiled at me. That was what I liked about him. His smile.

"Ah, Rose. I was just thinking about you."

My gaze travels down to his chest. His body was well developed and well built. I found myself staring at it. He laughed and waved a hand.

"Like what you see?"

I blush and shook my head. Celestia damnnit! Just tell him!

"Um, sorry. The girls came back looking for you."

Roseluck, you little filly! Just tell him!

"Right. Well, me and them have a date with whatever we can do with this."

He grabs his sonic screwdriver he's told me so much about, flips it in the air and kisses it.

"God, I love you."

My heart froze. Time went slower around me as he said those words. Oh, how much I longed for him to say that to me...

That's when I realized it. I might actually be in love with him! I felt his hand on my shoulder as I saw him lean down to my level.

"You okay?"

I shake my head. Too many thoughts were going through my mind at the moment.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. It's just that you said you were thinking of me? What exactly were you thinking about?"

He hesitated for a moment.

"Oh? I was thinking about how much you've been of great help to me lately."

He stood up and walked out the door of the room. I follow him and see him wave a hand to me.

"See ya, Rose!"

I waved silently and when he exited the house, I mentally bashed myself. Come on, Roseluck! Just tell him! What harm could come from it!?

-----Crystal's Perspective-----

Well, I had connected to the Internet and done some surfing. The fillies looked over my shoulder and watched me as I surf the net. They sometimes pointed some things out and I had to explain what it meant. I dared not to search up the TV show. It would break their view on reality. Hell, it did to me.

As I was looking through the Doctor Who wikia, I looked across the street and saw the yellow pegasus from the DVD cover staring at me. What's her name? Flutterbye? Futashy? No...Fluttershy! That's it. She was staring at me for a few seconds before walking towards me. She looked more curious then actually scared. When she reached me she held out a hoof to me.

"H-H-Hello. M-My name is Fluttershy."

I look at the hoof before looking back at her.

"Why have you been avoiding me?"

She seemed taken aback, because she retracted her hoof and cowered before me. Even though I was sitting at the trunk of a tree, she still looked tiny.

"I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't know i-if you were d-d-dangerous or not!"

I laugh and scratch the back of my head.

"Yeah, I can understand that. My name is Crystal."

She glanced up at me before standing up straight and shaking my hand.

"Can you please follow me? Twilight needs your help. She sent me to find you."

I nod and look to the fillies.

"Team, separate!"

The fillies, almost robotic-like, climbed off me and allowed me to get up. I stand up, clap my hands and put on a goofy grin.

"Wow, I didn't think that would work."

I laugh and motion a hand comically towards Fluttershy.

"Lead the way, m'lady."

She blushed slightly and begun walking towards the library with us in tow. I looked through the windows and saw nothing but darkness. I walked into the door and immediately couldn't see anything. I began waving my hands around and shouting.

"Twilight? Twilight?!"

Suddenly, the room lit up. Inside the library was packed with ponies of all kinds. I saw decorations, cake, streamers and balloons.

You've got to be fucking with me. A party?

My vision was suddenly filled with pink.

"Surprise!"

I jump back and land on my arse.

"Oooow."

Pinkie Pie went up to my face and giggled.

"Are you excited? Huh? Huh? Huh?"

I push her away from me and stand up.

"Not that I'm not thankful, but I'm leaving."

I turn and head towards the door. I stop halfway there. In front of the door stood Roseluck, Chrysalis, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They all wore smiles and were either eating a cupcake or drinking punch. Roseluck shook her head and walked up to me. She grabbed my hand and placed her cupcake in it.

"This is your party, Crystal. And you're not getting out of it."

I look down to the cupcake. She hadn't taken a bite from it. I lean down, grab her hoof and place the cupcake back in her grip.

"Fine. But no sweets, please. Sugar makes me act....weird."

Rose smiles and takes a bite from the cupcake as I stand back up.

"No problem."

I smile and lean in to her ear.

"The only reason I'm staying is because you want me here."

I lean back and turn back to Pinkie, who had vanished. I shrugged and turned back to Rose. She was blushing? Why? Ah, well. I sweep her up in one of my hugs and walk over to the stairs, sitting on the last step. She didn't bother moving out of my grip, she just accepted my embrace. When I sat down on the step, I released Rose and she sat next to me. She looks up to me with a curious look.

"Why don't you wanna party?"

I shrug and lean back on the stairs.

"I just don't like parties is all."

She sighs and walks over to me. She smiles and lies on top of my chest.

Okay?

She sighs and rests her head in the place where my heart is. I shrug and close my eyes. I just accepted her behaviour as friendly. She might be getting a bit personal now, but I didn't mind. I wondered where the fillies have gone off to, probably playing some games or something.

Oh I wish.

-----3rd Pony Perspective----

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had left the party when they saw Crystal lie down on the stairs. They were all happy that Crystal had stayed at his party. They left and looked through the window and saw Roseluck lie down on top of him. The fillies always suspected the two liked each other, so they decided to stay away and not interfere. Applebloom felt a tug from her bow and turned around to come face to face with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara had her sonic screwdriver in her hooves.

"Well, what's this? A piece of junk?"

Applebloom glared at Diamond Tiara and tried to swipe her screwdriver away from her.

"Give it back! Crystal gave it ta me!"

That caught the interest of the spoilt filly. She smiled wickedly and jumped back with Silver Spoon.

"Well, if you want it back, come and get it!"

Applebloom watched as Diamond Tiara run down the streets of Ponyville with her screwdriver. She turned to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"C'mon! Lets go get it!"

The two fillies nodded and began running after Diamond Tiara. They raced through alleyways and streets, chasing her down. Until finally, she stopped running at the Everfree Forest entrance. She was cornered by the three fillies.

"It's over, Tiara! Jus' hand us back mah screwdriver an' I won' get ya in trouble!"

Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon both laugh.

"Oh yeah? Well."

She turns to the forest and hurls the screwdriver into its depths. The three fillies gasp whilst Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed.

"Try and get it back now!"

Applebloom, without hesitation, ran straight into the Everfree Forest. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle gasp and reach out to try and stop her, but were too late. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laugh harder. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look to each other and nod.

"Crystal."

They both turn and run towards town to get the help of Crystal. They wouldn't go into the forest to find Applebloom without him.

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Ten - Blood Diamond

So, it's been a few days since Rose kissed me. It shocked the hell outta me, and I don't think Chrysalis took the news well. I told her I would give it a shot and I did. But it didn't feel right. But being with Rose, one of the only ponies who understands me, feels perfect.

Anyway, they visited everyday as I stayed in Fluttershy's bed. I constantly told her that I didn't feel right taking her bed, but she strongly insisted. So, I've had nothing to do but keep playing Pokemon White 2 and catching all the Pokemon. Not joking, all 649 are mine.

Not. Fucking. Joking.

I've had way too much free time. Today, something weird happened. Instead of Rose, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoots, it was Chrysalis. I was nervous around her, but not scared. She doesn't scare me. She sat down next to the bed and scratched the back of her head.

"So, I heard about you and Rose."

I nodded and kept playing my game.

"Yeah. Me and her are kind of...together now."

Chrysalis nodded and stood up. She walked around in a circle and kicked Fluttershy's bed.

"How?! The Prophets said that you would love me!"

I shrug and turn off my DSi.

"I don't know. Maybe they were wrong?"

She turned to me with pure anger, walked over and grabbed me by the neck.

"They are never wrong."

I was slowly choking to death, although I couldn't tell her because she had an iron grip.

"They always tell what will happen and they are always right. Never been wrong."

At this point my face must've gone blue, because her face changed from rage to fear as she let go. I breathed in air! Sweet air! You never know how good something is until you've almost choked to death.

"I am sorry."

I nod and wave my hand, the other being around my neck trying to massage it. I look up to her and gulp.

"I think they meant love like a friend."

She blinked and sat down next to me. I continued.

"I may not love you like a couple love each other, but I love you as much as those three fillies in a sort of 'Best Friend/Big Brother' way."

Chrysalis looked down then back up to me. She had anger in her eyes.

"Not good enough."

I was about to ask her what she was doing, but the last thing I saw was her horn glowing and Fluttershy entering the room.

-----3rd Pony Perspective-----

Fluttershy watched as Chrysalis moved her glowing horn closer to Crystal's forehead. When it touched, Crystal's eyes spun in their sockets and were glowing green. Fluttershy flew towards Chrysalis and tried stopping her.

"What are you doing?!"

Chrysalis turned to the timid pegasus with an evil smile.

"Making him love me."

In a flash of green light, Chrysalis was gone along with Crystal. Fluttershy didn't know where they were, but she knew who she had to tell.

She flew out of the bedroom, out of her house and towards Ponyville. When she got there she went straight to Rose's house. She flew up to the door and knocked. Rose answered the door with a smile.

"Oh? Fluttershy? I was just about to go to your house to see how Crystal was doing."

Fluttershy shook her head, panting.

"I...need to....tell you something."

Rose nodded and walked inside her house, Fluttershy followed her. Rose sat down on her couch and motioned with her hoof to speak.

Fluttershy took a deep breath.

"Crystal got kidnapped by Chrysalis after she put a spell on him."

Rose stared at Fluttershy, unable to process what she just said. She tried calming down, but couldn't. Fluttershy was patting her back, trying to comfort her.

"Listen, I'll be right back. I just need to go to school and tell the fillies."

As Fluttershy headed for the door, Rose shot up from the couch with tears in her eyes.

"No! We need to go and get him!"

Fluttershy flew over to her and pushed her onto the couch.

"And we will. After I tell the fillies."

Rose huffed and nodded.

"Fine."

Fluttershy smiled and flew out the door and towards the school. When she approached Applebloom was with Applejack as well as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

"Ya'll in big trouble, ya hear!?"

Fluttershy flew up to AJ and waved a hoof.

"Hi, Applejack. Mind if I talk to them? It's important."

AJ shook her head and gave Applebloom an angry look.

"This little filly did something horrible!"

-----A Few Minutes Ago-----

While Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were sitting down eating their food, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walk up to them with smug looks.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The blank flank who got saved by the freak."

Applebloom looked away in anger.

"Go away, Diamond Tiara. Ah don't wanna see you again."

"Ooh. Why? Because the freak got mauled by Timberwolves? He's weak! That's why he couldn't fight off the Timberwolves!"

Applebloom glared at Diamond Tiara.

"He wouldn' be hurt if ya didn't get mah screwdriver!"

"What? The piece of junk?"

Applebloom pulls her screwdriver out of her bow and nodded.

"Yeah. Crystal gave it to me. So, it's special."

Diamond Tiara huffed.

"My daddy gets me better stuff then a piece of junk like that! What's it even do?"

Applebloom looked back up with absolute hate.

"All sorts of things. But ya know what?"

Applebloom gets up and advances towards Diamond Tiara, making her back up in fear to a tree. Applebloom smiled wickedly and continued advancing until she was face to face with Diamond Tiara. Applebloom holds her screwdriver up to Diamond Tiara's eyes.

"Ah dunno wha' happens if ah do THIS!"

She turned the screwdriver on, flashing it in Diamond Tiara's eyes. Diamond Tiara had a sort of seizure and was convulsing violently. Diamond Tiara squealed before she fainted onto the ground.

-----Present-----

"She deserved it! She made Crystal come and save me!"

Applejack looked at her sister with anger.

"Ya didn' have ta give her a seizure!"

Applebloom looked away from her sister then to Fluttershy.

"What did ya wanna tell us?"

Fluttershy looked to AJ, who nodded, then back to Applebloom.

"Chrysalis put a spell on Crystal then teleported away with him."

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo gasp. Applebloom didn't hesitate, she ran straight towards the Everfree Forest, to the place Chrysalis said her hive was.

"Applebloom! Come back here righ' now!"

She ignored the words of her sister. She was now hell bent on saving Crystal.

"We're coming with you!"

She looks to her left and see's Sweetie Belle smiling and running along side her. Applebloom smiles and looks to her right to see Scootaloo.

"He didn't wait to save you, so we won't wait to save him!"

Applebloom smiled and continued running to the Changeling Hive.

Meanwhile, Applejack and Fluttershy ran to get their friends.

"Fluttershy, you get Dash and Pinkie! Ah'll get Twilight an' Rarity!"

Fluttershy nodded and ran to Rose's house to check up on her first. She opened the door and flew in.

"Rose! Rose?"

Fluttershy looked all around for the earth pony but couldn't find her. Instead she found a note on the kitchen table.

Love makes you do crazy things. ~ Rose

-----Everfree Forest-----

Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle all stood near the entrance to the Changeling Hive. Applebloom took a deep breath and looked around. It looked like a cave that had a massive oil leak then the oil flooded out. Applebloom looked to her friends and nodded.

"Let's go."

"Hang on a bit!"

They all spun around and saw Rose running towards them. She stopped running when she got to them, panting.

"You're not saving Crystal without me! He's my coltfriend and he doesn't belong to this Queen or this hive!"

The fillies smile and nod.

"Alright, then. Let;s go!"

The ponies all ran into the hive, not knowing what may be ahead. They entered a massive throne room, filled with Changelings. At the end of the room sat Queen Chrysalis and next to her, with glowing green eyes was Crystal, staring off into space. Rose reached forward towards him.

"Crystal!"

Chrysalis laughed and stroked Crystal's hair.

"He cannot hear you. He's under my spell, which forces him to love me."

Rose glared at Chrysalis and took a battle stance.

"We're not leaving him with you!"

Chrysalis ignored her completely and stood up, circling Crystal.

"Did you know that he loves you?"

Rose gasped, but quickly looked back at Chrysalis with anger. Chrysalis laughed a tiny bit, still circling him.

"That love is what is currently feeding this hive. Added on with your love for him, is making for a great feast for both my subjects and for me!"

Chrysalis laughed and sat back in her throne. Rose looked right at her.

"Do you love him, Chrysalis?"

Chrysalis looked slightly insulted before regaining composure.

"So what if I do?"

Rose walked forward a few steps and held a hoof to her heart.

"Because if you truly loved him, you would let him do what he wants and love who he wants."

Chrysalis looked away from Rose and at Crystal. She closed her eyes and re faced the front. She opens her eyes and sighs.

"I didn't want to do this, I had no choice. Without him, we would starve."

"That is incorrect."

Chrysalis gasped and looked behind her. One of the Prophets was behind her.

"I said that he would love you, I never said in what way. What he said before about loving you like a best friend, was the type of love I meant. And if you let him go right now that love will still feed this hive."

Chrysalis growled and jumped up from her throne and towards the Prophet.

"What!? Then I never had to bring him here?!"

The Prophet nodded and turned around.

"I shall take my leave. Good bye, sister."

The Prophet walked off, leaving Chrysalis in anger. She sighed and turned to Rose.

"I will release him from my spell. You're lucky to have him."

Rose smiled and walked towards the throne with the fillies following behind. She got up to Crystal and turned to Chrysalis with a smile.

"Yeah, I am lucky."

Chrysalis smiled and closed her eyes. Her horn glowed and there was a bright, green flash of light.

-----Crystal's Perspective------

Holy monkey fucking shit my head hurt. I woke up once again in Fluttershy's bed with a massive fucking headache. I had the weirdest dream though.In the room with me was Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Rose and Scootaloo. Rose was lying next to me on the bed. She turned to me and smiled.

"Slept well?"

I grin and hug her.

"Well, I had a bloody weird dream about Chrysalis."

Rose grimaced and looked away.

"Really? How weird."

I tap the side of her head to get her attention. When she turns around I kiss her on the lips. She blushes and looks away while I wear a goofy arse grin. The three fillies laugh as I hug Rose and playfully swing her around. All of us were laughing until someone knocked on the door.

"It's open!"

Chrysalis walks into the room with a sad look on her face.

"Hi, Crystal."

I smile and motion my hand for her to come closer.

"Hey, Chrysalis. I had a dream about you taking me to your hive."

She moved closer and her face also adopted my smile.

"Really? That's a very strange dream. How is everypony else?"

I shrug and gesture to my body.

"I'm doing alright. Fluttershy said I'll be out in a few days. Oh! Chrysalis, sorry to say but me and Rose are-"

"I know. I couldn't be happier for you."

I smile and reach over to Chrysalis, grabbing her in a very tight hug.

"You'll still be my friend, right?"

She grins and pats my back.

"Of course, Crystal."

I release her and she looks over to the three fillies. She sits in front of them and changes into Diamond Tiara in what looked like green flames. She even had her voice!

"I'm Diamond Tiara and I am a snobbish brat!"

The fillies fall over laughing, so does Chrysalis. I chuckle and look to Rose, who was suppressing a giggle. I smile and kiss her on the forehead. She looks to me and rests her head on my chest. Right now, I was happy. Happier then I was on Earth. I had friends, a marefriend and three little girls that meant the world to me.

All I needed now was a one armed clown with a trombone.

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Eleven - Transformation

Okay, a week has passed and Applebloom has been grounded because of what she did to Diamond Tiara....

Damnnit.

Personally, the little spoilt bitch deserved what she got. I'm not saying it was the right thing, but that tiara wearing bitch had to be put in her place.

Ah well, I've been allowed to walk around, but I can't leave Fluttershy's property. The bandages get nasty and gross, so she has to replace them a lot. I have no idea why she likes taking care of me, but I'll ask her about it later. Anyway, right now I'm just sitting outside while Fluttershy feeds her animals. She was just hoofing out food to the little critters as I sat on the ground watching her.

I looked down to my chest and arms and see the bandages were no longer bloody. I was happy to be making a recovery, but I wish the girls would visit more often. Or at least I want my recovery to speed up. I thought these ponies had magic!? Can't they speed up my healing?

When Fluttershy was done with the feeding she walked over to me and sat down in front of me with a smile.

"Hey, Fluttershy? Is it alright if I go into town quickly?"

She eyed me suspiciously for a second before nodding her head slowly.

"Alright. But only quickly!"

I smile and jump onto my feet, hurting my ribs. I didn't show any signs of pain in case Fluttershy saw and changed her mind. I clap my hands together and nod to Fluttershy.

"I'll see ya later!"

I begin walking towards town and already my chest begun hurting. I just had to bare it, unfortunately. As I walk through the small town ponies were happily smiling and greeting me. I find it amazing how accepting they can be. If an alien just walked through my old town we wouldn't be greeting it my dad would probably grab his axe or something crazy from his shed. He had an absolute massive shed back on Earth.

Well, had a massive shed, before the world ended...

That's still getting on my nerves. The fact that I magically disappeared must've drove my dad nuts. He must've been looking everywhere for me. He might be an arse at times, but through and through he loves me and I love him...

Well, loved me...

Damnnit, I gotta stop thinking about Earth. Equestria is my new home. I just have to grow up and accept the fact that I'm the last human.

Heh. Grow up. C'mon, I'm over 3000 years old. I think I grew up nicely.

I approached Twilight's home and knocked on the front door.

"It's open!"

I grab the doorknob and open the door to reveal Twilight sitting down reading a book. She looks up at me for a brief moment before looking back down at her book, then looking back up in shock.

"Crystal!? You should be with Fluttershy!"

I rush inside and close the door behind me.

"I just wanted to know...is there such thing as medical spells?"

Twilight nodded slowly, not knowing why I asked.

"Because why don't you just use a spell on me and heal me?"

She smiles sheepishly and stands up.

"Well because since you're not a pony, the spell wouldn't work."

I groan and slump my arms to the side.

"Can't you just turn me into a pony for a second, use the spell, then turn me back into a human?"

Twilights eyes grew wide and she ran up to me with a large smile.

"You really want me to perform a spell on you?!"

I nod and she smiles, but a weird squeak noise came out of her mouth when she did it.

What the fuck?

She runs over to her books and pulls one out, walks over to me and opens the book. She looks up at me with a smile.

"This'll only hurt a bit."

Whenever someone tells you that, prepare yourself for a shit storm of hurt.

I was right.

When she cast the spell, it felt like my bones were on mother fucking fire! I could feel them move and shorten to pony sized bones and I felt my organs shift and move into different areas. I felt hair grow rapidly fast on my skin and near my neck and spine. Oh god! Make it fucking stop!

When it all finished, I was lying on the floor along with Twilight, who was panting heavily. I expected to feel massive amounts of pain, but I felt normal. I put a hand to my forehead and felt my-

Wait a second. That isn't my hand.

I lowered my new hoof to my face and saw that I had a sort of caramel coloured coat. I rush over to Twilight and pick her up.

"Twilight! Where's your mirror?"

She weakly points to a door and I gently let her down. I try and walk over to the door, but fall on my face. I guess I'm more used to two legs. After a few tumbles, I made it to the door. I yank it open and stumble inside. There I found myself in the mirror.

I had a brown mane, tail and eyes as well as the caramel coat, most of which was hidden under my bandages. I shift to the side and see my cutie mark was a game controller. Christ, I was thankful that I was only a pony for a short while. I dunno what I would do without my DSi or my laptop. I also found myself with wings. Well, as great as it would be to fly, I still miss my human form.

But, a thought occurred to me.

I loved Rose with all my heart, yet as a human we are different. And besides that, what if she wanted kids? I'd love some children of my own, and I couldn't think of anypony better to have them with then her. But as a human, I am unable to have children with her.

Besides all that, I really don't want to go through that transformation again. Hurt like a mother fucker.

I clumsily walk out the door and towards Twilight, who was picking herself up off the ground. She looks at me and gives a weak smile.

"Okay, stand still when I cast the healing spell."

I nod and closed my eyes. I felt a slight warmth envelope me and it went as soon as it came. I opened my eyes and look down my torso. The bandages were gone and all that was there was my coat. Twilight cheered and made her horn glow.

"Now to turn you back into a human!"

"Wait, Twilight!"

She stops her horn and looks at me curiously.

"I've thought about it, and I think I'll turn back into a human when I've made my decision."

She nods and leans forward slightly.

"This is about Rose, isn't it?"

I sigh and nodded. She gave me a small smile and turned around to get back to her reading.

"Come here whenever you decided. Let me know, even if you decided to stay a pony."

I nod and turn to walk out of the library.

"See ya, Twilight."

As I exit the library I made a direct course to Rose's house. I wanted her to decide whether or not I should stay a pony. I didn't know if she liked me better as a pony or as a human. On my way there, a pink blur smashed into me and situated itself on my chest.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!"

I groan and waved my hoofs.

"Pinkie, it's me! Crystal!"

She gasped and jumped off me.

"Omygosh! You must be Crystal! You sound exactly like him!"

I smile and gesture to my new body.

"So, what do you think?"

She puts a hoof to her chin and hums in thought. She gives me a big smile and drags me into a hug.

"I like you for you!"

I smile and pat Pinkie's back.

"Thanks, Pinkie."

She releases me and salutes.

"No problem!"

With that she walks away towards Sugar Cube Corner. I resume my trip to Rose's house and knock on the front door.

"Hang on!"

I hear commotion and crashing as she heads to the front door. When she opens the door she gives me a curious look.

"Um, can I help you?"

I smile sheepishly and shrug.

"Hey Rose. It's me, Crystal."

Her eyes grew wide and she looked my body over.

"What happened to you?"

She moves to the side and allows me to walk inside.

"Well, Twilight said she could heal me but she had to temporarily turn me into a pony. But when she was going to turn me back into a human, I thought about you."

I walk into the kitchen and sat down near the table, as did Rose.

"I though about how you would probably like me better as a pony then as a giant alien. I also considered having kids. I would love to have children of my own, but as a human I can't do that with you. Besides that, others might find it weird that you're going out with an alien. So, I decided to leave the decision to you."

She stared at me in disbelief before laughing hysterically.

"Really? Oh Celestia, Crystal. I loved you for who you were, not this."

She covered her mouth, but I had already heard it and my face grew a massive smile.

"What?"

She lowered her hooves and smiled with a blush.

"I love you. But I loved you for who you were. And if you wanted kids then we could adopt. Besides that, if you want to have fun then we can still do that."

I felt my face grow hot with a blush.

"And who cares what others think about me dating a weird alien thing? I love that weird alien thing to the bone."

I smile and grapple Rose into a hug.

"I love you to the bone as well, Rose."

I felt Rose tighten her grip when I said that. She pulls away from the hug and passionately kisses me. She was right. I loved her, and she loved me. I shouldn't change who I am. She released me from the embrace and kiss.

"Let's go see Twilight. She has a job to do."

I nod and begun walking out the door and towards Twilight's with Rose's hoof in my hoof.

-----A Few Minutes Later-----

Rose and I walk out the library, fully human and holding my back in pain.

"Ow. Jesus, that hurt."

Rose giggles and I stand up straight with my arms crossed.

"I mean, that didn't hurt one bit."

She laughed and we started walking to Rose's house. When we got in, I stretched my arms and started walking up the stairs.

"It's been a big day. I'm going to sleep."

I start walking up the stairs towards my room.

"Hang on, Crystal."

I turn to Rose who was now right behind me up the stairs, giving me the bedroom eyes.

"I'm tired as well. How about we both go to bed?"

She walks past me and flicks my nose with her tail. She looks back and winks at me as she entered her room. Silently, I fist pump the air. Wait a minute, aren't I too young? Oh wait.

I silently face palm.

3000 years old. Right.

With a grin on my face, I climb the stairs with speed and rush inside Rose's room, slamming the door behind me.

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Twelve - A Very Stupid Thing

It's been a day since me and Rose did it for the first time. I'm so glad I'm not 15 any more. Speakin' of which it's my birthday pretty soon. Anyway Rose, Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, AJ, a weird dragon and myself were sitting in the park having a nice picnic.

Personally I hated picnics, but Rose really wanted me to come along. Well, she bribed me really. She said if I didn't come then no more fun time. I hafta be a lady pleaser, don't I? Anyway me and Spike, the dragon, were talking about guy stuff. Mainly music and chicks. Apparently he had a liking for heavy metal like I do. He also told me that he liked Rarity.

Okay. I'm not one to judge a dragon liking a pony. Because I'm a human dating a pony.

While I was talking about Nirvana with Spike and their song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and how it got it's name, I heard Rarity say something just barely audibly to Rose.

"I know he's only 15, but still it's smaller then a full grown stallions. How was it?"

I grin and cocked my head into Rarity's direction.

"Rarity, size doesn't matter! It's how you use it! Oh, and I have a thing called a tongue!"

Everypony within earshot blushed very hard. Me and Spike were rolling on the ground laughing while all the girls were trying to recover from my remark. Oh, god. This is too funny. When everypony recovered, Rose smiled and nodded.

"He was amazing, Rarity."

I grinned and winked at Rose.

"What can I say? I'm a lady pleaser."

Rose giggled and winked back to me. Me and Spike were together away from the group of the mares. Mainly because all they talked about was gossip. I wasn't afraid that Rose would do something to embarrass me. Truth be told, it is extremely hard to make me embarrassed. But I knew she wouldn't. I trusted her.

I turn back to Spike and resume the discussion of Earth music. I didn't feel bad talking about Earth now. I accepted Equestria as my home and I was happy with that. But Spike decided to move to uncharted territories on my past.

"So dude, what was your family like?"

I froze in the middle of biting an apple. All the girls looked at me and Spike. I might've accepted Equestria, but that doesn't mean I liked talking about family. I lowered the apple and sighed.

"Well, my mother left because she didn't want anything to do with me or my dad when I was born. My brother died in a car accident when I was roughly 6. I can't remember much, but I know I was in it."

I took a breath and smiled.

"My dad got injured at work, so he was let off until it was healed. But, it was 30 years and still no healing. He was a grump most of the time, but when he wants to be he can be as much fun as Pinkie Pie."

I looked over to the girls. They all looked saddened. I look back to Spike and continue.

"Me and dad lived together in a small country town where everyone is friendly and only out of town people were jerks."

Spike looked saddened as well.

"What about friends?"

I laughed heartily.

"Friends? I didn't have any. And I liked it that way. I hated everyone at my school and they hated me. And for awhile I loved that. Until one fateful day, I met a strange girl on the bus."

I lie back on the soft grass and close my eyes with a smile.

"Her name was Chrissy. She took a liking to me very quickly. At first, it kind of angered me. But as the day went on, I saw that she wasn't like everyone else. And that she genuinely wanted to be my friend."

I chuckled and opened my eyes to the beautiful sky.

"Everything changed when I got off the bus home and...she took me here."

I sit back up and picked up an apple from the basket.

"She took me here. To this world. I walked into town and saw that everyone was afraid of me. Not that I blamed them. An alien wandering into town? I'd be afraid as well."

I fling the apple high in the air and catch it, taking a bite from it.

"Rose was the only one who showed she wanted to help me get home. Which is what I wanted, but no longer. Earth, my Earth, is gone. My past is destroyed. It's up to me to build a future here."

I smiled and lie back on the grass, eating the apple and staring up to the clouds.

"And that's about it."

My vision of the sky was instantly interrupted with dark shapes. I shot up and saw that the girls had gathered around me with frowns.

"Hey, that's all in the past. Just forget about it."

I was going to lie back down, before Rainbow shot forward and hugged me. This put me in a semi state of shock. I looked down to the multi maned mare.

"Um. What are you doing?"

Without warning, everyone starts hugging me. I was trapped within a group hug and I didn't like it. But, it felt nice so I decided to let 'em do it. Why not. It's not killing anyone. When they pulled away, Rose was still holding onto me. She lifted her head up. She had tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Without warning, she pressed her lips to mine, kissing me. Now I'm not complaining about the kiss, but I hated the "Awwww" the girls did when they saw Rose kiss me. When she pulled away she smiled and hugged me.

"You're in a better place now."

I chuckled and patted her back.

"Don't make death references, my old bones can't handle it."

She laughed and pulled away from the embrace.

"Well, you're with us now. That's all that matters."

I laughed and nodded.

"Sure is."

I laughed and lied back on the grass. The mares went back to their spot except for Rose, who rested her head on my chest looking upwards.

"The sky is beautiful lookin' today."

I raise my hand with a thumbs up.

"Good work, Rainbow!"

I heard a faint "You know it!" and lowered my arm. Rose looked up at me with a pleading look.

"Do you wanna go on a date?"

I look down at her in confusion.

"I'll have to get a job first and earn some money though."

She shook her head.

"No, I'll pay."

I laughed so fucking hard.

"Sorry, Rose. I'm a gentlemen when needed to be and I'll pay."

She smiled and rested her head back on my chest.

"So, what are your rules? You said you only used them because it's a moral standard of yours."

I laughed and ruffled her mane.

"Okay. One rule you already know, is not attack unless attacked first. It helps when someone angers me, trying to provoke me into hitting first."

She rolled over and placed her hooves folded on my chest while she rested her head on her hooves.

"Another is to never lie. If you lie, and people find out you lied you'll get into more trouble then if you just told the truth."

I pat her head and smile.

"The others aren't really usable in this world."

She smiles and kisses me on the cheek.

"You're like my knight in shining armour."

I laughed and shook my head.

"I'm no knight. I'm just some guy."

I lifted my head in the direction of the mares.

"Hey, any of you girls know where I can get some work?!"

AJ nodded and waved a hoof.

"Ah always need a helpin' ho- hand!"

I smile and clap my hands. Rose gets off my chest and allows me to jump to my feet and walk over to AJ.

"No time like the present, right?"

She smiles and jumps up, donning her hat.

"Okay. Let's go."

As she walks towards her farm I spin around and walk backwards, waving to Rose. I spin back around and continue following her to her farm. We got there in about 10 minutes and I saw Big Mac and Applebloom. Big Mac nodded to me as a greeting while Applebloom ran up to me and tackled me to the ground in a hug.

"Crystal!"

I pat her head and smile.

"Hey, Applebloom."

She gets off me and frowns at me.

"Big Mac and Granny Smith took mah screwdriver off me."

I frown but turn it into a smile.

"As unfair as I see that as, I can't do much about it."

She frowns and gives me the cutest yet saddest look I've ever seen.

I groan and walk up to Big Mac.

"I'll try and get it back."

I walk up to the massive stallion and sigh.

"Hey, Big Mac? You mind if I hold onto Applebloom's screwdriver? None of you know how it works and it can be dangerous if the wrong pony were to get their hooves on it. I won't give it to her I promise."

He stares at me with an excellent poker face for a few seconds before nodding his head.

"Ah suppose yer right. Ah'll go git it later."

I smile and look to Applebloom.

"I'll give it back to you when I feel the time is right."

She half hearts a smile as I continue following AJ further into the farm.

"Say, AJ? Who's Granny Smith?"

"Monster! Monster on tha farm!"

AJ facehoofed and looked back to me.

"That's Granny Smith."

Within seconds a green elderly mare runs past me and up to Big Mac.

"Big Mac! There's a monster on tha farm!"

I shook my head and continued following AJ to a barn. She opened the doors and revealed the inside. She pointed to a large group of baskets.

"Ya'll need ta git one of those baskets and buck some apples. Ya did a great job last time, let's see if'n ya can do another."

I nodded and cracked my knuckles. AJ flinched at the noise.

"Right. Better get started."

I walk over and stack two baskets then another two. I pick them all up and start walking out the barn with them. I heard AJ shout from behind me as I was carrying the two stacks on my shoulders.

"Ya'll might wanna take that shirt off! Apple buckin' works up a mean sweat!"

I nodded and tried waving a hand.

"Don't worry! I'll do it when needed!"

I walked towards the nearest tree and placed the baskets around the edge of the trunk. I step back and readied myself in a fighting stance I taught myself.

"I wanna see how ya do it."

I heard AJ behind me, but didn't turn to look. I pull my fist back, and smash it into the tree. Not enough force to dint the tree, but enough to shake all the apples out. I walked over to the baskets and placed them on my shoulders. I looked back to AJ, who had a shocked look on her face. I laugh and snapped my fingers in front of her face as I walked to the barn.

"One down, a few hundred to go."

She snaps out of it and stares at me as I place the baskets inside the barn and grab another stack. This time, I had an idea. I walked over to the next tree and placed the baskets around the edge, then walked back into the barn and did the same thing to the next one. I repeated this until a row of about six tree's had baskets. I didn't know if what I was about to do would work, but worth a shot. I stand in front of the tree's and take my shirt off. I throw it aside and kneel to the ground.

"AJ, this might hurt a lot. So ready me a first aid kit."

I started breathing very slowly with my eyes closed, then I raised my arm very high in the air.

Oh yeah, this was going to hurt.

I snapped my eyes open and smashed my fist down on the ground. At first, I felt nothing. But then I felt the pain.

Oh god the pain. I'd rather turn back into a pony again.

While I was lying on the ground holding my hand in pain, I stood back up and looked at my handy work. All the tree's were now empty and all the apples were in the baskets. Well, a lot of apples weren't in the baskets but you can't argue with results. AJ runs up to me with the first aid in her mouth before dropping it in shock.

"What did ya do?"

I turn to her, still grasping my hand.

"A very stupid thing."

-----A Few Hours Later-----

Well, my hand was bandaged and AJ specifically told me to never use the hand until she deemed it worthy of use. Well, at least I could use my feet. My legs were one of my strongest assets. I broke bones with these fuckers on multiple accounts.

So as I was going around smashing tree's with my feet, I heard a voice behind me.

"Well look at you, sexy."

I grin and lowered my foot and turned to the owner of the voice.

"Hey, Rose."

She smiled and tackled me into a hug.

"How's your new job?"

I chuckled and let her down. I scratched the back of my head nervously and show her my hand.

"It started out rough but I'm fine now."

Rose grabbed my hand, which hurt like a mother fucker and I tried hiding it. Rose noticed I was in pain and let go.

"What did you do?"

I laughed and shook my head.

"A very stupid thing."

-----One Hour Later-----

AJ was more then pleased with my work and gave me my payment, and a bit extra for the amount of apples I was able to get. I put my shirt on and waved to the Apple family as I walked home in the dark. Nopony was out at this time, but I could see faintly in the dark thanks to the full moons light. I've been told that Princess Luna raises the moon at night. I really wanted to meet her now. I was always interested in space and science. I'll get around to asking Twilight if I could meet her.

As I enter Rose's home, I noticed that all the lights were off. I started tip toeing around. I closed the door quietly and slowly crept up the stairs. I slowly enter Rose's bedroom an try my fucking hardest to crawl into bed and not wake her. I was finally in and I wrapped my arm around her sleeping form.

"You're late."

God mother fucking damnnit!

She turns around in the bed. I couldn't see her face in the pitch black darkness.

"I'm sorry, Ro-"

I was going to apologize, but instead I feel her lips meet mine.

"Shush now. It's fun time."

I'm the luckiest bastard alive.

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Thirteen - Date Night

Hello again. It's been roughly a week since I began working at Sweet Apple Acres. I never again did the stupid thing and just kept using my legs to buck the apples down. With my added help, we can have a field cleared in a few days. The pay is great as well. AJ says it's because I'm a hard worker, but I beg to differ. I'm one of the laziest people in existence. But if I have a goal and I really wanted to reach it, I can do anything. And my goal was massive.

Setting up a date with Rose.

Now, I know you're probably seeing that as a minor problem. But I don't. The problem is that I'm over 3000 years old yet I still have the mind of a teenager. Back on Earth I never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend and I was a virgin. Well, I just realized I never told anypony about that. Ah, don't need the extra hate then I have for being an alien. Diamond Tiara recovered from her mental seizure or whatever. Applebloom didn't sonic her for long enough to have a permanent effect.

Now, I have never wanted someone dead in my life until I met this bitch. I only wanted to severely injure people before but I genuinely wish to murder this filly.

Moving on from that topic, I gave Applebloom her screwdriver back and all she uses it for is locks and, very rarely, a piece of tech. I decided to ask Twilight if she would be interested in helping me obtain the materials to build a super computer. I know what goes into it but I can't program it. That'll be Twilight's job.

Moving on once again.

So, going on from what I was saying, I have never had a partner. So which means I have no fucking clue on what a date is meant to be like. So, I had to resort to drastic measures...

Asking for help from a mare.

And not just any mare, no no no. This mare had to know her stuff about socializing and dating. This mare had to be one of my friends. This mare...

...had to be Rarity.

Now, I'm only assuming Rarity would be one to know what a good date is like. It was the process of elimination.

Applejack just doesn't seem like the dating type. Fluttershy probably is scared of dates. Twilight is too....nerdy.

Look, I know that just came from a Pokemon geek. Shut it.

Rainbow's idea of a date is probably a few laps around the block. Pinkie Pie's idea of a date would be a party so no thanks. I landed on Rarity because she just looked and acted like the type who knows this stuff. Then again, I could ask Chrysalis but she's been avoiding me lately.

Do I stink or something?

Well, the problem with asking Rarity is that it is a bit embarrassing to ask anypony about this kind of stuff. So, that's why I was nervous when I was hangin' outside the Carousel Boutique staring at the front doors like a dog waiting to be fed. Did I forget to mention I had a dog on Earth? Her name was Tess.

Fuckin' hell she was annoying.

Anyway, my hand was shaking when I lifted it to knock on the doors of the boutique. I knocked twice and heard some crashing noises come from inside. Why do I always hear that whenever I knocked on a door? Sounds like there must be like 50 tonnes of pure bullshit separating the door from the owner. The door opened and the white diva was revealed. She looked up to me with confusion. Can't blame her, I showed up uninvited. Then again, how do I call her and tell her "Oi, Rarity? I'm comin' ova with a slab, ya hear?" when there's no phones or anything?

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh wait a minute. I'm over three fuckin' thousand years old. I can drink now!

Then again, I used to drink rarely on Earth but all my dad had was VB which tasted like piss. I hope to the mother of fuck that these ponies had liquor.

Anyway, Rarity had opened the door and looked really confused as to why I am here.

"Crystal? What is it that you want?"

I groaned and scratched the back of my head nervously.

"Hey. Rarity. Mind if I come inside?"

She nods and moves to the side to allow me to enter the building. She closes the door behind me and walks to my front.

"What is it, darling?"

I lightly chuckled and clapped my hands together. I do that a lot.

"Well, Rarity. I need some help with something."

She smiles at me and giggles a little.

"Well, what is it?"

I took a massive breath and exhaled it slowly.

"I need dating advice."

For what felt like a minute, Rarity stared at me like I was an idiot. I sighed and turned with a wave of my hand.

"Thanks for the help."

I felt something grip my hand and I knew she was using her telekinesis on my hand, pulling me back.

"No wait! Sorry darling. You just caught me off guard. Now, why on Equestria would you need dating advice?"

I turn and groaned.

"C'mon, Rarity. Do I honestly look like I've ever had a girlfriend or a boyfriend before?"

She shakes her head very slowly before pointing a hoof at me.

"Why did you add boyfriend?"

I swear if she's a homophobic I'm leaving this world and I'm taking Rose and the fillies with me. I slumped my arms to my sides before raising my left hand to my face and pinching the bridge of my nose.

"I am a bisexual. So, we can have either."

I lower my hand and see her beaming at me.

Okay, she's the complete opposite.

"Oh, really? I didn't know that. Now, we're going off topic. Again, why would you need dating advice? You're a creative young man."

I chuckle and shake my head.

"I ain't young anymore."

She laughs and nods.

"Nevertheless, you're creative. You'll think of something."

I facepalm.

"The entire reason I came to you for help was because I figured you'd tell me what to do because I want her to be happy wherever I ta-"

"You don't understand how much she loves you, do you?"

I flinched and shook my head.

"Not entirely."

She smiles and starts nudging me out the front doors.

"Well, she loves you so much that no matter where you take her or what you do as long as she's with you, she'll be happy."

I turn to her as she shoves me out the building. I look up in thought and when I landed on an idea, I nodded and looked down to her.

"I think I'm set."

She smiles and lightly punches my leg.

"Go get her, tiger."

She walks back into her boutique and closes the door, leaving me in complete shock.

How in the living fuck does she know that saying?! It's from fuckin' Spider Man!

Look, whatever. I started walking towards Rose's house while humming the Doctor Who theme song. About halfway through my trip, I decided to go through the market instead. I have a serious need for a slab of stubbies.

-----Later That Day------

Fuck. I found out a few things today. One, ponies do indeed have beer and wine and whiskey and all that shit. Two, it takes a fuck ton of alcohol to get me drunk. Three, too much alcohol makes you sick.

Anyway, I'm in the kitchen making some sandwiches for myself because alcohol makes me hungry apparently. I've never been drunk or had so much before, so this is all new to me. It took a lot of convincing to buy the stuff in the first place, but I'm a persuasive guy.

That and I had a lock knife.

Joking. I explained my age and the stallion happily gave me the good stuff.

But I do have a lock knife in my pocket. As for my DSi and screwdriver, both are in Rose's room. I sorta moved my bag into her room considering I now sleep there all the time. All I have with me is my knife, screwdriver, DSi and laptop. Those are all my possessions. Fuck, I better buy some stuff for myself. Like what? Ah well, I'll think of something.

Anyway, sandwiches. I sit down on the floor and start munchin' away at my sandwiches. Forgot what I put in 'em, but who cares. I had put the beers in the fridge and have now stayed far far away from them. They are the devils piss in cans and I shall never touch another.

I need to stop lying to myself.

Okay, so while I was finishing off the last of the sandwiches, Rose decided to walk into the kitchen.

"Hey, Crystal. How are ya?"

She walks over to me and gives me a hug.

I wish she didn't.

Almost immediately, she pulled away with a disgusted look on her face.

"What?"

She leans in and smells my jacket.

Oh shit. She smells the beer. She pulls away and gags.

"You smell like beer! Have you been drinking?!"

I looked down and started playing with my fingers. She let's go of me and walks over to the fridge. She turns to me with a unamused look.

"If I open this will I find beer?"

All I could do was keep playing with my fingers as she flung the fridge open and gasped. She closed the fridge door and stomped over to me in a huff. I looked up at her from my position and shrug.

"What? I'm old enough to drink!"

She shakes her head and rested her hoof on my hand.

"Yes, but you still think like a teenager. Which means that the alcohol affects your mind like a teenagers mind."

God damnnit why does she have to make sense. She walks past me and exits the room.

"You're forbidden to drink any more!"

I nod and rubbed my head.

"Waaaay ahead of you."

-----That Night------

Taking Rarity's advice, I got creative. Of course I had a shower and cleaned off the beer smell. I'm not drinking again until my mind is 18.

Moving on, I was waiting for Rose to come down to get our date going. All I had to wear was my original shirt and jacket I came here with along with my blue pants. I had no idea what she was doing, but whatever. Gave me time to think through what I've set up. I heard a door upstairs open and close then I saw her come down. She wasn't wearing anything, so wait a minute.

"What were you doing up there?"

She giggles and puts a hoof to her mouth to symbolize silence. I rolled my eyes and opened the door. As she went through I shook my head in disbelief.

"Girls."

I walk out with her and close the door behind me. Rose bows to me and I laugh.

"Jesus. Don't treat me like royalty."

She stands up and I start walking to our destination. We walked through the dark town and got to the park. The exact same park where the fillies and I normally sit and talk. I walk over to the bench and sit down. I lean back and look up at the night sky. Rose sits next to me and eyes me weirdly.

"What are we doing?"

I smile and looked to her.

"Back on Earth I did this whenever I wanted to think, or if I got bored. I just stared at the night sky, marvelling in its beauty. The stars amaze me."

Rose smiled and leaned back, looking up at the night sky with me. I tried making out constellations and tried spotting which stars are closer, which ones are dying and so on and so forth. This continued on for a while until we heard a new voice.

"Greetings, Crystal."

I looked down from my star gazing and saw a pega- wait she had a horn...

Another princess? Seriously? How many do you need? And where the fuck is the king and queen?

I nodded to her as a greeting.

"G'day."

She looked confused at my remark.

"Is that an insult?"

I laugh and shake my head.

"No no no. It's a greeting from Earth. How did you know my name?"

She smiles and steps closer. She was right in front of me now.

"I can see into others dreams. I saw your dream and I got some information about you."

I dislike her already. Going through my dreams? Uncool.

"Well, that and my sister Celestia told me about you."

Okay, I misjudged her. And besides, I'm a weird alien thingy. I think if I had her ability to see others dreams I would do it to see a mysterious aliens thoughts.

I smile and jump up from my seat and held a hand out to her.

"And your name?"

She looks at my hand before grabbing and shaking it.

"Princess Luna."

This was the princess I wanted to meet. The one that makes the night sky. I looked up to the stars and sighed with relief.

"Your sky is beautiful tonight, princess. Although, you could make some changes."

I looked down to her and she was looking to me with curiosity and worry.

"What!? Did I do something wrong?!"

I laughed and shook my head.

"No, nothing's wrong. Everything is perfect about the sky. But it could use some constellations."

She looked at me like Rarity did when I asked her for advice. Like an idiot. I face palm and wrap a arm around her shoulder, using the other to motion the the sky.

"A constellation is when the stars form to make pictures. Now, can you move the stars from here?"

She nodded slowly and I grin wickedly.

"Right."

I point my hand to various stars.

"Move this one here, this other one here, that one there, that one here, and this one there."

She nods and closes her eyes. Her horn lights up and I saw the stars move to my locations. She looks up to the creation. I draw lines from each star, showing the picture.

"That's a constellation. That one in specific is called The Southern Cross, which is only visible in the southern hemisphere."'

She smiles and jumps up with laughter.

"I understand now! Thank you, Crystal! I shall go and tell Tia about this!"

Oh, Celestia. The next time I see you I'm pulling out the "Tia" Card.

She flies up and out of my vision towards Canterlot. Or what I suspected was Canterlot. Nopony has told me where it is but I assume it's that massive fucking castle on the mountain. I grin and slump back in the bench, looking over to Rose. She was looking at me with disbelief.

"You...Princess Luna....Bah...Wah...."

I reach over and pat her shoulder.

"Wanna go home, now? This was all I had planned. Sorry."

She snaps out of her trance and shakes her head.

"No, this was nice. Thanks, Crystal."

She jumps over and wraps me in a hug. I get up, still holding her in my arms, and start walking home.

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Fourteen - Kingdom Of The Poms (Re-Write)

Well, Princess Luna told Celestia about my constellation idea, and has invited me and my friends to Canterlot. And I was fuckin' right, it is the city on the mountain. So we are all on the train to Canterlot with naught but a DSi and a sonic screwdriver. None of us knew why the Princess wanted to see me so badly but I ain't going to argue with an all powerful being. So, I was going on the Internet with my DSi lookin' up YouTube videos. Then an idea struck me. This is the Internet from another Earth. Possibly the one that see's this world as fake.

Hm.

I went to Google and tried to remember the name of the TV show this is all based around.

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic

The second I Googled that shit, millions of results come up with the show. Okay. I go to the search bar and add to the search.

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Roseluck

I searched it and there was results about Rose just being a background pony. Okay, let's stray into the depths of the Internet. I go to Google Images and type in the same thing. I scrolled through screen caps of Rose for a while. I knew what happened if you went too far into Google Images. We've all done it before. Be it on accident or on purpose. If you go too far down Google Images you will eventually come upon porn or gore pics of whatever you searched.

God fucking damnnit. When I was lookin' through the images I forgot that.

It's not like I haven't seen her naked before or anything. Hell, I've seen the real thing. But, when it's on the Internet it's either weird or gross lookin'.

Besides, none of the pictures looked anything close to the real thing.

I closed the lid of my DSi and stare out the window. This was kinda exciting for me. I've never been up a mountain before. I've never seen snow before either. Australia might've been an awesome country, but for fucks sake it needed more snow. I hope it snows in Ponyville. I turn away from the scenery and look to Rainbow Dash, who was sitting next to me. On my opposite side sat Rose.

"Hey, Rainbow? Does it snow in Ponyville?"

She gave me that look. The look that screams "Are you retarded, man?".

I hated being treated like an idiot.

She nodded and waved her hooves around.

"Yeah, it snows everywhere. Why?"

I sighed and looked back out the window.

"It never snowed back where I lived on Earth except in the mountains, and I never went to the mountains in my life."

I glanced back at her. She had a look of pity for me.

"You've...never seen snow?"

I look back out the window and nod.

"Yeah."

She squirmed around in her seat and looked back to me.

"Hey, isn't it your Birthday soon?"

I eyed her suspiciously, wondering how she knew. But quickly looked away because Rose must've told her.

"By memory, it's in 3 days."

She nods and clapped her hooves together.

Holy shit she just copied what I do.

"Then I have the best present for you."

I waved a hand to her, not taking my eyes off the outside

"Thanks but no thanks."

She pouted and tapped me on the shoulder.

"Wether you like it or not, I'm going to give you a present."

I shrugged and flicked the glass.

"Do what you want."

"Something wrong?"

I shook my head and turned to face Rainbow.

"Nah. I'm just worried about what Celestia wants from me."

She smiled and patted me on the knee.

"Hey, she isn't evil or anything. She won't harm you. And if she tries to..."

She smashes her hooves together and her faces turns to one of anger.

"I'll make sure she won't."

Holy fuck I was scared. This mare was willing to fight her ruler to help a friend. She must care about me a lot. I've never had friends before so I'm not used to this kind of caring. I turn back to the window and sighed.

"Whatever."

A few minutes later, with help from my screwdriver on the train controls, we reached the city of Canterlot. I let the girls all exit first. Hey, I'm a gentlemen when I wanna be. Shut the fuck up. I walk off the train and find myself surrounded by about 10 guards.

What. I thought I was invited.

One of the guards steps forward and aims a sword at me.

"Stand aside, ladies! We'll take care of this beast!"

I smiled and leaned to my left, looking beyond the guards.

"Oi, Tia! You need to inform,your guards!"

The guards froze and slowly turned around. Right behind them was the Princess of Day and Night. They spun around and bowed, as did the others. I just stood there looking at the princesses.

"You need to remind your guards that you have a visitor."

-----Throne Room----

So, there we were sitting at the biggest fucking table in history chomping down some food. Or actually, I was chomping down food. Everypony was staring at me. Maybe it's because I was biting the fuck out of a slab of meat. I yanked the piece free and looked to everypony.

"Right. Tia! I wasn't joking about the guards. Next time I come over, remind them."

Celestia nodded and took a sip from a tea cup.

"I shall remember to inform them. I apologize for their attitude towards you."

I dig back into my meat and Celestia stands up.

"I have an offer to make."

Her horn glows and within a flash of bright light, a case appeared in front of her. She spun it around and slowly levitated it to me over the table.

"You may have this. In return, you must give us information about Earth. After all, you are our only source of knowledge for Earth."

When the case rested in front of me, I eyed her curiously.

"Is this the reason you wanted me to come here?"

She nodded.

"Originally, I wasn't going to offer something and just ask. But now I see you might need the incentive."

I opened the case and my eyes grew wide. Celestia smiled and sat back in her chair.

"It's called Leon."

I slowly picked up the magnificent blade from the case. Holy fuck! This was amazing! I raised the blade above my head, marvelling in it's beauty. I slowly place it back in the case, then throw the case over the table towards Celestia. Now, even Celestia looked shocked.

"I don't want a sword."

She nodded and waved her hooves.

"Then what do you want from me?"

I leaned back and looked up in thought. I know. I stood up and slammed my hands on the table.

"I want to design the constellations in the night sky."

Celestia nodded and I sat back in my chair.

"Very well. I shall tell Luna that today you will be here for the night to help her decorate her sky."

I smiled and chomped down on the last piece of meat. I stood up and stretched.

"Anyway, I'll give you the information tommorow. Right now I wanna take a walk. Comin' Rose?"

She got up from her chair and walked over to me, following as I exit the throne room and start walking around. None of the others joined us. As I was looking at the sights, I heard some remarks from the ponies around me.

"Oh, my word! What a beast!"

"Awful, repulsive monster!"

I laughed very hard and held my stomach.

"Oh no. We're in the kingdom of the poms."

Rose looked up to me with confusion.

"Poms?"

I laughed and pointed directly at a random pony with a top hat.

"Yeah, one of these cunts."

I heard multiple gasps around me from the poms.

"How rude!"

I laugh and spun around to face the pony.

"I wasn't trying to be polite, bitch!"

Gasps again. I strolled off like a smart arse with Rose giggling behind me.

-----That Night-----

So, I was told to go to Luna's bed chambers at night. All of my friends had their own rooms while I share a room with Rose. I knocked on the gigantic double doors. They were decorated with pictures of the night sky with a moon in the middle.

"Enter."

The doors slowly opened and revealed the inside. Luna was sitting on a massive fucking bed covered in stars. Her expression remained the same as I approached her.

"Ah, Crystal. I was told that you would be aiding me in creating constellations."

I nod and walked past Luna and to the balcony.

"Let's get started."

When she walked next to me, she looked worried.

"Something wrong?"

I shook my head.

"It's just that...the poms around here reminded me of what I am to all of you. A monster. A freak. A-"

"No. You're as much apart of this world as any of our subjects. Never forget that."

I turned to the princess of the night and smiled.

"Thanks, Luna."

She smiled as well before looking up to the sky in determination. I grinned and looked up as well.

"I have a few ideas of what we can draw on this beautiful landscape."

-----Few Hours Later-----

I slowly walked into Rose's room and crept up to the bed. I spotted her sleeping form and started shaking her.

"Hey, Rose!"

She stirred awake and looked at me groggily.

"What, Crystal?"

I scoop her up and start running down the hallways towards Luna's bed chamber. The princess was on the balcony smiling at me as I enter. I placed Rose on the ground and walked over to the balcony.

"Check this out."

She started walking towards me slowly. When she got to me I pointed to a spot in the sky. Her eyes grew wide.

"Is that?"

I nodded.

"It's your cutie mark."

In the night sky, was a rose made up of stars. It looked exactly like her cutie mark. I've seen the thing enough times to know what it looks like. I looked down to her and grinned.

"What do you think?"

Without warning she leapt up to my chest, I grabbed her before she fell, and started kissing me. She stopped and rested her head on my shoulder.

"I love it and you."

I smile and let her down. I looked to Luna and mock saluted.

"It was nice doing business with you."

She nodded and mock saluted back. I take Rose in my arms and exit the chambers.

I wasn't looking forward to tommorow. I'm not an expert on Earth, even though I might've been born there. Hell, I doubt any one from the blue planet was an expert on everything about Earth. Although, I do know a lot of history. I loved history back on Earth. I might ask Twilight to teach me some Equestrian history.

I walked down the hallways of the castle with Rose in my arms. She looked up at me and gave me a kiss on my chin. I looked down to her and laughed.

"What was that for?"

She giggled and rested her head on my arm.

"Can't I show some affection towards my coltfriend once in a while?"

I smiled and leaned my head down, kissing her on the head. She looked up at me with a grin.

"What was that for?"

I shrugged and continued walking.

"I felt like it."

She laughs and yawns, lying her head back in my arms. I walked into our room and carefully laid her down in bed, with me sliding under the blankets. I close my eyes and hope for the best of tommorow.

Chapter Fifteen - Happy Birthday, Crystal!

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Fifteen - Happy Birthday, Crystal!

So, it was the day after I helped Luna and there I sat in the throne room, giving all the information I could about Earth to Celestia while Twilight writes down what I say. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were also in the room. I went through the basics of humanity. Machines, how far our technology has gone, advancements in medicines, buildings and of the sort. I then moved on to history.

God damnnit I was a lover of history.

"So, many of my species believed in a divine being we named "God". Now, I myself don't think he existed-"

"Why not?"

I turned to Twilight and growled a little.

"Interrupt me again and I might ask for fried pony for dinner."

She gasped and went back to her writing.

"I didn't believe in God because there was no logic or evidence to an all powerful being."

I heard a light giggle and turned to Rainbow.

"What's so funny?"

She smirked and laughed a little.

"I've met an all powerful being before."

She flew up in the air and did a loop with a massive smile.

"He's the most amazing stallion I've ever met."

I raise an eyebrow and smile.

"Well, where is he right now?"

She frowned and slowly descended.

".....not here."

I shrugged and turned back to Celestia.

"Anyway, many of the believers had different gods and different quantities of said being. But basically, the being in question supposedly created their world. I however do not believe in that. Many others believe it was a massive explosion named The Big Bang. I somewhat agree with this idea. Makes way more sense then some all powerful and magic being clicking his fingers then our world appeared out of nowhere."

I exhaled a deep breath I was holding and continued.

"Anyway, after the creation of our world gigantic beings called Dinosaurs roamed the planet."

Pinkie bounded in from nowhere in front of my face.

"What did they eat!? What did they eat!?"

This will creep her out.

"Some ate plants, much like you do. Others, ate each other."

She stopped bouncing and her face went green. I watched as she zoomed out of the room and I heard vomiting noises. I turned back to Celestia and continued.

"After a few million years, they were wiped out. This has many debates on how, but the biggest theory is a meteor. After that..."

I gestured to myself.

"...we came along. Humanity was hiding and when the world ended it decided to show itself. I will admit, humanity is a cowardice race at heart."

Celestia laughed lightly.

"But you however are not. You ran head strung into the Everfree Forest to save a filly, hurting you considerably in the process."

I shrugged and made a "meh" noise.

"I'd do anything for those fillies."

She nodded and waved a hoof, signalling me to continue.

"Right, so at first we were quite barbaric. But then, over the course of time, we evolved. After a few thousand years, we became homo sapiens. The one before us was named homo erectus."

I turned my head away, suppressing a chuckle.

"Hehehe. Erectus."

I turned back to Celestia, who had an amused look. I clapped my hands and continued.

"Right, so we evolved and became this. Although, our race isn't near perfect like yours. We had weaponry, wars, criminals, drugs, dictators and of the like. Our race is nowhere near perfect."

After about 4 hours of non stop questioning, I was finally done. I slumped back in my chair and exhaled with relief.

"There. That's all the information I can give you. Can I please go now?"

Celestia shook her head and looked to Twilight.

"Twilight, leave us."

At first Twilight looked insulted. But quickly regained composure and bowed. She exited out the door and closed it behind her. Celestia cleared her throat and looked to me.

"Now, it is to my understanding that you and Roseluck are in a very intimate relationship?"

Screw you Twilight.

I nod and cross my arms.

"Yes. Do you have anything against it?"

She shook her head and raised a hoof.

"No. But, I need to ask. Do you have intercourse?"

Holy fuck. If something was in my mouth I would've spat it out. I was shocked that she was asking such a personal question. I nodded my head, worried about where this was going.

"Yeah. But I'm-"

"Just because your natural age is over 3000 does not mean that your body and mind are of that same age."

Well, fuck.

I groaned and jumped onto my feet with my arms crossed.

"Well, so?"

She smirks and stands up.

"Which means you've been having under age sex and have been doing under age drinking."

Who told her about my drinking?

Wait what!?

She leans closer to me and winks.

"Keep this conversation to yourself."

What?

She turns and walks to her throne, taking a seat. I still stood there confused.

"What?"

She puts a hoof to her mouth and winks again.

"Shhh. Nopony needs to know."

Is she letting me off the hook? Wow.

I smile and mock bow.

"Thank you, your majesty."

I stand back up and run out the doors to the room with a goofy grin on my face. I ran out the castle and towards the Train Station where we all agreed to meet at the specific time. Sure enough, everyone was there. I stopped before I could crash into anypony. I was sweating and panting like a pig. Rose walked up to me with a smart arse smile.

"You alright?"

I nodded and stretched my back. I looked down to Rose and smiled.

"Don't worry about me. I've never been better. Lets go."

-----The Next Day-----

I woke up in Rose's bed like normal. The only thing I found weird was that Rose wasn't in the bed with me. I jump out and look around. She wasn't in the room. I get my shirt on and rush down the stairs and into the kitchen. Once again, nopony anywhere.

I look around and found a note on the table. I picked it up and read it.

"Meet me at Sugar Cube Corner ~ Rose."

I sighed and rubbed my head.

"Lemme guess. A birthday party? Jesus, I'm only 16- wait no I've already forgotten my real age."

I shrugged and dropped the note back on the table.

"For simplicity's sake lets just say I'm 16."

I rubbed my head as I walked to the front door and exit the home. I looked down the streets and saw that nopony was around. Where were they? I continued down the empty streets towards Sugar Cube Corner and look into the windows.

It was pitch black inside. But I knew if there were ponies inside, they could see me. I leaned away from the window and took a deep breath.

"Here goes nothing."

I open the door and enter the bakery. Instantly, light filled my eyes and there was a loud resonant "Surprise!".

I open my eyes and see ponies everywhere. Rose walked up to me along with the fillies with a large cake and a smile. I read the icing on the cake;

"Happy 3480th Birthday, Crystal!"

Wow. Not even I can remember my own age. How in the fuck did they remember? I grin and kneel down to their level. Luckily for me, they only put 16 candles on the cake. I think 3480 candles wouldn't fit. Applebloom jumped up and down with the biggest smile on her face.

"Make a wish!"

Why? I didn't believe in wishing. Besides that, I had everything I wanted right here. Ah well. I close my eyes and blow out the candles. Everypony cheered for me.

"Wha' did ya wish for?"

I didn't wish for anything, but I'll tell her a made up one. Hey, I don't like lying but to keep these fillies happy I'll do anything.

"I wished that I could be here for as long as I live."

I stood up and clapped my hands, turning around.

"Right, now- WOAH!"

Rose grabbed me by my jacket and made me fall on my arse.

"Na huh. You're not going anywhere!"

I laughed and stood up.

"Okay, fine."

Scootaloo grabbed my sleeve and directed me towards a seat at the table, sitting me down. There was a large variety of sweets in front of me.

Oh god. I think I might puke.

"What's wrong? You're looking green."

I nodded and turned to Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah, too much sugar makes me sick."

She nodded and the fillies jumped on to a seat each, with Rose sitting next to me. They didn't sit like Lyra Heartstrings did, which looked like an imitation of me. They just sat on the seats as if they were sitting normally. The fillies clapped their hooves in unison and raised their hooves to the air.

"Cutie Mark Sweet Exterminators!"

They all reached out and grabbed a whole lot of sweets, gobbling them down. Wow, these girls would do anything for me as well apparently.

My life was amazing. Three amazing little girls, one beautiful marefriend and a whole lot of friends. Life was awesome.

Then, my vision slowly faded into a bright light. It was blinding. I could faintly hear Rose calling out for my name, along with the fillies also trying to reach me.

When my vision returned, I shot up in my bed.

Oh, just a dream.

I looked around and noticed something.

This wasn't Rose's room. It was my room. My room from Earth....

I heard knocking at my door and my Dad entered the room.

"Alright, son. Time for breaky. What do ya want?"

I slowly shook my head. This couldn't be real. Shit.

"Um, I-I-I'm fine dad."

He nodded and left the room, closing the door.

NO FUCKING WAY! That couldn't have been a dream! No!

I rest my head into my hands and cry. Thats all I could do. My friends, those fillies, Rose.....

All were gone. I know they were real, they had to be. IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ALL A DREAM!

In fury, I stomped my foot onto the floor. Something came out of my pant leg. I lean down and was in shock.

My sonic screwdriver had fallen out. Which meant...

It was all real. But when they notice I'm gone, they have to be quick. If they're lucky they'll be here in a year. But I know one thing.

I will be waiting. I will always wait for those ponies. No matter how long it shall take, I will be waiting.

The End.....

For Now

What Am I Doing Here?

Sequel Is Up!

Finally after what seemed to be forever, Crystal finally sat down and wrote the Prologue chapter to the Sequel of this story;

What Am I Doing Here? - Return To Earth!

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter One - Just A Normal School Day

Beep, beep, beep, beep

"Ugggghhh. No! Fuck off. Me wants the sleep."

Beep, beep, beep, beep

"FUCKING HELL! ALRIGHT!"

Crystal staggered out of his bed and walked over to his alarm clock, which was situated across the room. He always found that unless he had to get up to turn it off, he would just slip back into sleep. He slams his clenched fist down on top of the infernal device, silencing its beeping. Crystal sighed and went through his drawer to find his school clothes.

Crystal was a 15 year old living in a country town in Australia. He was a gamer to the bone and loved his beloved PC with all his heart. He didn't swear a lot and did not care a single bit about self image, so naturally his brown hair was always shaggy. He stood a good 183 cm and was one of the skinniest students in the school of over 1,300 students. He was a bisexual and always got picked on for that. But the teasing never phased him. In fact, he very rarely got angry at anything.

Crystal found his uniform and put it on along with his trademark hoodie. He packed all of his things into his school bag that he always carried. A fully charged Nintendo DSi and crappy laptop, along with a journal. He carried his journal with him not to record what happened during his day, but to write down things to remember. He had a horrible memory and quite often, he would get an idea or a thought and write it down in his journal.

Like all teenagers, Crystal had is secrets. But most of his secrets were much more impacting then others. Like for example, he has a-

"Crystal! You're gunna miss the fucking bus! Get your arse out of here!"

Crystal groaned and put his bag on his back.

"Yeah, dad! I'm going!"

Crystal walked out of his bedroom and entered the lounge room. His lazy father was sitting on the couch with a can of Bundaberg in his hand. Crystal's father was injured at work one day. He was a car tyre fitter, and he tried pumping a tyre full of air and got distracted. The tyre exploded and wrecked his arm. He now gets paid for not going to work until his arm gets fixed and he can return to work.

That was 30 years ago.

As Crystal passed his father, he grunted. Crystal waved back at him with an emotionless response.

"Bye, dad."

Crystal exited the house and closed the shabby wooden door behind him. Crystal hurdled over the fence and trekked down the street to the bus stop, which was roughly 4 minutes away. Crystal didn't like his father very much. At times, his father is the life of the party. Always making jokes and having a blast. But most of the time, due to his sore arm which remains unfixed, he is sour and cold. Crystal might like the fun version of his father, but that side of him didn't show up often.

As he approached the bus stop, Crystal leaned up against a tree and closed his eyes. He loved thinking whenever he was alone. Most commonly, he thought up different scenarios. Mainly how his life could change for the better. Don't mistake Crystal for an idiot, either. He fully understood that there are many people who have a life that isn't as good as his. Shelter, food, family and water. But that didn't change the fact that he didn't like his life.

The bus rolled up from around the corner and Crystal opened his eyes. The bus pulled up right next to him and the doors opened, revealing the driver. Crystal nodded at him and climbed aboard the bus. Crystal was the first stop of the bus, so no one else was on. He normally picked a seat in the middle, to avoid talking to people. The bus engine roared and the vehicle moved once again. As the bus was driving, Crystal pulled out his DSi and started up his Pokemon White 2 game. He opened his save file and began playing. He always played his games on the bus. He also likes to avoid talking to people. But playing on a DSi isn't the best way to go about doing that.

After three stops the bus comes to a halt at the next stop. Crystal hated the person who was about to board the bus. Then again, he hated a lot of people. Mainly because they are stupid or because they hate him for no reason. A big and muscled 14 year old wearing a Collingwood shirt climbed aboard the bus and walked down the bus looking for a seat. When he spotted Crystal he thought nothing of it at first, then he saw the DSi in his hands. He grinned a wicked grin and decided to sit behind Crystal.

"G'day, mate!"

Crystal ignored him, knowing what he was trying to do. Crystal didn't get angry a lot, but when he does he can't control himself. One of his many secrets involves his anger, though. When the Collingwood kid saw that he was ignoring him, he started blowing the side of his face, causing his hair to move.

"C'mon, mate! Talk! Did ya see Collingwood go against Essedon?"

Crystal groaned and turned his head towards him.

"Colby, you know very well that I despise football. Now fuck off."

Colby frowned and started tapping the top of Crystal's head in an attempt to annoy him.

"How can ya hate footy, mate?"

Crystal chose to ignore him once again. Colby grinned wickedly and grabbed Crystal's DSi out of his hands. Crystal turned his body around and faced him with clenched teeth. Colby waved the DSi in front of Crystal's face with a smug look.

"Watch ya gunna do abou- OUCH!"

Crystal smashed him in the face and catches his DSi as Colby drops it and holds his face. Crystal turned back around and continued playing his game.

Crystal was left undisturbed by Colby for the rest of the bus trip. On the second last stop, a new student boarded the bus. She had emerald green hair, emerald eyes and wore the standard school uniform. Crystal thought she looked simply amazing. She was the first girl Crystal ever though that about. All the other girls and guys at his school were either ugly or stupid. As the girl was walking down the bus, it looked as if she was inspecting everyone in their seats. When her eyes scanned over Crystal, her eyes widened. When she reached Crystal, she sat down next to him and placed her green bag down on the floor next to Crystal's light blue bag. Crystal gave the new girl a weird look.

"No one ever sits next to me. Why didn't you just sit somewhere else?"

The girl giggled and held a hand to her chest.

"My secret. Don't you have secrets, Crystal?"

Crystal's eyes widened at the mention of his name.

"How do-"

She held two fingers to Crystal's mouth to silence him.

"I know who you are? Another secret."

Crystal was about to respond, before he thought better of it. Not only was this girl gorgeous, she was smart. When the bus arrived at the Highschool, Crystal jumped out of his seat and climbed out of the vehicle. He headed for his locker in the Year 10 wing of the school and noticed something different. Right next to his locker, was a green bag. He looked up to the owner and saw the same girl from the bus getting her books out of the locker next to Crystal's. She saw him looking at her and smiled. Crystal huffed and went back to his locker and started grabbing his books.

'Okay, so she has a locker next to me. No biggy. You can deal with this, Crystal.'

Crystal had a perfectly good reason to be near the edge of freaking out. He had a YouTube channel called crystalhero97, a Lets Play channel full of videos of him playing video games and laughing his head off at the jokes and glitches he finds. He was worried that this girl was a stalker and had found where he went to school.

Crystal headed for his first class, maths. Crystal rolled his eyes at his timetable. He hated maths. Crystal started walking towards his class, fighting through a crowd of class mates to get there. A small group of students his age saw him walk by.

"Oi, Crystal? You sucked any dick lately?"

Crystal sighed and flipped them the bird.

"Fuck off, morons."

Crystal ignored their retaliations and continued towards his class.

"I just hate people like that, don't you?"

Crystal jumped at the new voice and looked to his left. The same girl was walking next to him.

"W-W-Woah!"

Crystal shook his head and cleared his throat.

"Um, yeah. I despise them."

The girl nodded in agreement. "They make my blood boil! Hey, what class you got now?"

Crystal flipped his planner over and checked. "Maths in D4."

The girl gasped. "So do I!"

Crystal held back a groan. "Cool. Looks like we have the same class. Hey, mind if I check your planner?"

The girl nodded with a smile. "Sure, here."

Crystal opened her planner and looked at the classes she had. He couldn't believe it.

"A-A-All of your classes are the exact same as mine."

Crystal looked at the girl with a dumbfounded look. She threw her hands up in the air.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Looks like we'll be sharing the entire day together!"

Crystal released the groan he held back and face palmed. He shot a glance to the girl and gave her planner back.

"Do you know a YouTube channel called 'crystalhero97'?"

The girl shrugged. "Nope. I don't have Internet at my home."

Crystal gave her another dumbfounded look as they reached the class room doors.

"Who are you?"

The girl put two fingers to her mouth.

"Secrets."

She smiled and giggled before walking into the classroom. Crystal hung outside for a few seconds before he realized something.

'Her name will be called out on the roll.'

Crystal grinned and walked into the classroom. He noticed that the only available spot left was next to the strange girl. He, reluctantly, took the chair next to her. The teacher walked up to the front of the classroom and cleared his throat. He went through the first few people before he reached the C's.

"Crystal?"

Crystal raised his hand.

"Here."

The teacher checks off the name and looks back up at the classroom.

"Chrissy?"

The girl next to Crystal shot her hand up.

"Here!"

She lowered her hand and Crystal grinned.

"You're no longer a secret now, huh?"

Chrissy gave Crystal a confused look before silently giggling.

"That's not my real name, silly."

Crystal groaned in defeat and rested his head on the desk. Chrissy giggled some more and opened her maths book. Crystal 's head remained on the desk the whole lesson.

-----End Of The Day-----

Chrissy had been with Crystal the entire day. Asking him questions and just chatting with him. Or at least she tried to chat with him. Crystal had a set of rules he always follows at all times. One of them was to never ever tell a lie. So, when she asked questions he answered truthfully. At the end of the day, Chrissy and Crystal both boarded their bus and sat in the seats they sat in the morning on the way to school. Crystal hadn't gotten used to her yet, and he didn't want to either. Sure, she was beautiful and pretty smart, but he tried avoiding having close bonds with others.

A few minutes passed and Colby finally climbed aboard the bus. He smiled and sat behind Crystal again. Crystal was confused though, he hadn't brought his DSi out yet. He finally understood when Colby started talking.

"So I heard that you're a bisexual, Crystal."

Crystal silently swore. "Yeah, I am."

Colby threw his head back and laughed heartily.

"Woah! Hey everyone! Crystal here is a bisexual!"

Everyone on the bus turned and looked to Crystal. After a few seconds they started laughing at him. Crystal threw his hoodie over his head and sunk down into the seat. He began hearing some things he didn't like or want to hear.

"Faggot! Sicko! Freak! Gaybo!"

Eventually, Crystal began to sob silently. He couldn't handle it. All the pressure was killing him.

"Leave him alone!"

Everyone stopped laughing. Crystal looked up from under his hoodie with tears in his eyes. Chrissy was standing up with an absolute furious look on her face.

"Get off his back! What's so bad about being bisexual?! I'm a bisexual and I don't find straight people gross or anything! Get off his case!"

Everyone looked stunned. Crystal swore he saw the faintest hint of green shine in their eyes for a brief second. Everyone, even Colby sat back down and never talked the entire trip. Crystal took a glance at Chrissy. Her face was still full of anger.

"Thank you, Chrissy."

She didn't respond. Crystal snuggled up in his hoodie and looked out the window, thinking up stupid scenarios. He loved doing that so he could be prepared for anything. When Chrissy's stop came up, she didn't rise from her seat. Crystal looked to her with confusion. He was now sitting up right in his seat.

"Um, Chrissy? You missed your stop."

She kept her angered face and didn't respond. Crystal just sighed and looked out the window. When his stop came up, he stood up and tried passing by Chrissy. Instead, she got up with him. At first he didn't mind. He thought she was being kind and getting up to allow him to pass. Instead, she followed him off the bus and onto the bus stop. When Crystal noticed Chrissy was with him, he got a bit surprised.

"Woah! Chrissy? You live around here or something?"

Chrissy shook her head.

"No. I live on a different world. I came here looking for someone...special. And I found you."

Crystal blinked and tried to process what she just said. He laughed and held her shoulder.

"Oh, nice one Chrissy. You almost got me there."

Chrissy's eyes started glowing green.

"I wasn't joking."

Crystal staggered back in fear and bumped up to a tree. Chrissy advanced towards him and rested her forehead on his forehead.

"My name is Chrysalis, and I'm going to take you to my world. Equestria!"

Crystal couldn't move. With Chrissy's head resting on his forehead he could barely budge. She was stronger then she looked. Her eyes glowed brighter and in a big bright flash of green light, the two disappeared.

What Am I Doing Here?

Chapter Nine - Apple In A Forest

Me and Rose were still lying on the stairs for a bit. Pinkie came over and asked why we were there and not partying. I just told her I'm not a party kind of person and she understood. I kept wondering where the fillies were. I hadn't seen them for a while.

Rose lifted her head off my chest and looked into my eyes. Her eyes were a shade of green, while mine were brown. Same colour as my hair. She sighed and smiled at me.

"I need to ask you something. And I want you to be serious."

I nod and grin.

"Sure, Rose. Ask away."

She leans in closer to my face.

"Have you ever...considered dating a pony?"

God, has she read my mind? I hesitate before nodding very slowly.

"Yeah. Due to the fact that I'm the only human around, it doesn't leave me much option, does it?"

She nods and looks away for a second.

"Would you like to date somepony?"

I shrug and nod.

"Who did you have in mind?"

She blushes and looks back at me.

"Well, I was thinking-"

"Crystal!"

Rose moves off me, looking kinda sad, to allow me to see a scared Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Girls? What happened?"

Scootaloo took a deep breath, she must've been running. She was sweating and panting.

"Diamond Tiara took Applebloom's sonic screwdriver and threw it into the Everfree Forest! Applebloom ran in after it!"

I blink, confused.

"Okay, so I'll talk to Diamond Tiara later. If it's just a forest, why are you so scared?"

Scootaloo shook her head violently.

"The Everfree Forest isn't a normal kind of forest! There's monster's and Timberwolves inside!"

I had no fucking clue what a Timberwolf is, but when she said monsters I jumped up and clapped my hands.

When I get my hands on that spoilt brat...

"Where's the forest?"

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle both run out the door with me behind. They began running towards the forest with me following. I really wanted to hear what Rose had to say, but Applebloom is NOT getting hurt by a monster as long as I have blood in my veins. When we reached the outside of the forest, Scoots and Sweetie stopped before the entrance.

I didn't.

I ran right inside and began searching for Applebloom.

"Applebloom?! Applebloom!?"

I kept running and shouting, hoping she could hear me. I didn't get a response. If I found her hurt, I would never forgive myself. I kept looking for a few more minutes, not giving up.

"Help! Help!"

When I heard that small farm filly scream I swear I zoomed faster then Flash to the sound of her voice. When I got to her, a pack of wolves made of....sticks? Were surrounding her. She saw me and her face grew a smile.

"Crystal!"

A Timberwolf lunged for her.

"Oh, no you don't!"

I ran right towards the fucker and socked him in his 2x4 jaw. He was thrown against another Timberwolf, knocking them both away. I turned to Applebloom and waved a hand.

"Get out of here! I've got this!"

Another lunged for me this time. I ducked and wacked him in the stomach as he flew over me. Applebloom shook her head.

"No! Ah'm stayin' right here!"

I turn to her, kneel and hold her shoulders.

"Look, if you got hurt I would never forgive myself! Please, Applebloom! Just go!"

She hesitates. For a moment she stared at me before nodding.

"Ya better come back alive!"

She turns around and starts running away from the pack of Timberwolves, through the plants and towards Ponyville. I sigh and pull my lock knife from my pocket. I turn to the wolves with a dark glare.

"Okay, mother fuckers. Come at me cunt!"

What I really hate is team up's. Especially when it's one on a group. I've always found something about team up's.

The one on their own will always get hurt.

-----3rd Pony Perspective-----

Applebloom ran through the forest after Crystal told her to get out and be safe. She was dangerously worried for Crystal, though. She had her sonic screwdriver in her bow but would give anything just to know he was okay. When she exited the forest Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Rose were waiting for her. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle run towards their friend and gave her a hug.

"Applebloom! We were so worried!"

She hugged them both back. When they broke apart, Rose walked up to Applebloom.

"Where's Crystal?"

A rustling noise came from the forest. Applebloom lowered her gaze to the ground and frowned.

"He's fightin' off Timberwolves for me."

"Who says that I'm fighting off Timberwolves any more?"

Applebloom gasped and spun around and faced Crystal. She gasped again, as did everypony. He was covered head to foot in cuts and blood. The Timberwolves did a number on him. He was holding his left shoulder and was hunched over. He smiled and winked at Rose.

"It'll take more then a pile of re-animated sticks to take me down."

After saying that he chuckles, then falls to the ground. Rose ran over to him and put a hoof on his neck. She looked to the fillies.

"Go get somepony! We need to help him! He could die of blood loss! Go!"

The fillies nod and run into town to get some help. Rose sits down next to Crystal's head and strokes his hair.

"You won't die. Not if I can help it."

She sat there, waiting for the fillies to come back with help for Crystal. After a few minutes, they come back with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack.

Fluttershy ran up to Crystal's body while Rainbow and AJ walked up to me.

"What happened to him!?"

Rose stands up and points to Applebloom.

"Applebloom ran into the forest, Crystal saved her, got mauled by Timberwolves."

Rainbow flies down to the ground and walks up to Crystal's body while Fluttershy was checking his wounds. The timid pegasus turns to her cyan friend.

"He won't last long. We need to get him treated properly."

Rainbow nodded and flew over to Crystal's feet.

"AJ, pick up his hoofs- whatever they're called!"

AJ nods and walks over to Crystal's body. She picks up Crystal by his hands at the same time Rainbow picked him up by his feet.

"Okay, we have to do this right! Move in unison!"

As the marched away with Crystal towards Fluttershy's house, the fillies and Rose follow. None of them would let him die without a fight.

-----Crystal's Perspective------

Darkness all around me, I couldn't see shit. I assumed I fell unconscious, because the last thing I remember was the grounding smashing into my face. I looked around and spun around, trying to find something. Anything. Then I saw it. A strange light up ahead. I swear, as I was walking towards it, I could hear voices.

"....Set hi....ver there...."

"...Hurr...we nee.....uick...."

I recognized the first one as Fluttershy's voice, and the other as Rose. As I walked closer, they started making sense.

"He'll be fine, girls. Don't worry. He needs to rest now. Come by tommorow and you can be with him."

Fluttershy again. Taking care of me? Why? I wasn't important to her. Finally, I had reached the light. As I walked through it, it felt like something was being ripped out of my chest.

I shot up in the bed and looked around. I was inside somepony's bedroom. I assumed it to be Fluttershy's bed. Again, why am I so special? Besides the fact that I'm over 3,000 years old. I won't be getting used to that any time soon. I remove the bloody blanket covering me and try and stand up. Unfortunately, like the time at Sweet Apple Acres, I fell flat on my arse again.

I heard a small "Eep!" come from the door. I look over painfully and see Fluttershy with an annoyed look on her face walking towards me.

"You shouldn't have tried walking yet, Crystal!"

I grin and scratch the back of my head.

"Heh. Sorry, Fluttershy."

I pull myself up with the bed and climb back inside. I checked myself over. I had millions of cuts all along my arms, along with some nasty gashes on my chest. All of these were covered in bandages. But the big thing annoying me was a slight pain in my leg. Fluttershy walked next to my bed and smiled.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

I nod and look down at my pants, which were torn to all 4 corners of hell.

"What's wrong with my leg? It hurts really badly."

Fluttershy frowned and walked down to my leg, pulling the pants up and showing me the nastiest wound I've ever seen. About 17 stitches were sown into my leg which looked absolutely horrific.

"A Timberwolf got your leg in its mouth. It was bleeding so much a few days ago when we brought you here."

I almost choked.

"A few days?! I've been out for a few days?!"

She cringed at my volume, but nodded her head.

"Y-Y-Yes. The girls have been visiting you for the past few days. They'll be overjoyed to see you're up and awake."

I shook my head and tried to stand up again.

"I want them to know now!"

Fluttershy, to my bloody amazement, flew up and shoved me into the bed. She looked deeply into my eyes with the scariest look I've ever seen.

"Now, you will stay in bed! Got it!?"

I was holding my arms in front of my face, trying to shield myself from her gaze. What the fuck? Was she like Cyclops from X-Men or something?! When she saw I was terrified beyond all belief, she stopped giving me that stare and looked worried for me. She flew up to my arms and held them.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

I open my eyes and lower my arms.

"What the hell was that?"

She smiles and flies back down to the ground.

"The Stare. It's a thing I use on animals."

I grump and cross my arms.

"I ain't no animal."

Fluttershy giggles and shook her head.

"Rose would argue with you on that. She see's how you eat food."

I lower my arms and laugh.

"Yeah. Speakin' of which, do you have any food? I'm hungry."

She nods and backs away slightly towards the door.

"What can I get you?"

I thought about it for a second, being careful not to make a stupid decision.

I clearly didn't think it through.

"Do you have any meat?"

The moment those words left my mouth, I closed it with my hands. I expected Fluttershy to yell at me or something. Instead, she does the complete opposite.

"Of course. I have to keep my animals well fed, don't I? Especially the ones that eat meat."

I was shocked. I thought she would be disgusted by me eating meat. She smiles and turns to the door.

"Meat it is. I'll be right back."

I stared at the yellow pegasus as she exited the room to go get my dinner. I checked outside to see the time, it was night time. So I guess after this I can go to sleep. Unless....

I ruffle through my pockets and sigh with relief.

The wolves didn't get either my screwdriver or my DSi. Thank god. I don't know what I would do if I lost my screwdriver.

Fluttershy enters the room with a plate on her back. It had a large slab of meat on it. I look to her with confusion.

"Where did you get this from?"

She winks at me.

"Secrets."

Another flash back of Chrissy flashed through my mind. What secrets was she talking about? My secrets? I don't have many...

I thank Fluttershy and take the plate from her. She exited the room and left me to dine. I'm not surprised. I was going to eat something that would probably make her sick. Heh. Sorta like me and chocolate. I smile and dig into my meaty bounty.

-----The Next Morning-----

Well, this was a weird morning. First, I heard a song as I woke up. Second Rose, Applebloom, Scoots and Sweetie Belle were huddled around a table in the room with my laptop on it. Music was blaring from my laptop.

The fillies laughed and cheered. I couldn't blame em. It's a good song. I clap my hands together very loudly, attracting the attention of the fillies. I get a goofy smile and hold out my arms.

"Right, who stole my laptop?"

In an instant, the three fillies rushed over to me and tackled me into a giant hug.

"Crystal!!!!"

I smiled and patted their backs as best I could.

"How ya going?"

They didn't respond. They were shaking and I could hear crying. Scootaloo lifted her head to me. She had tears pouring down her face.

"We...We thought that you..."

She couldn't finish. She just re-grabbed me and continued crying. I must mean more then I thought to these girls. They got off the bed, leaving tears on my chest and bandages. Rose walked up to the bed with a smile and some tears in her eyes. I smile and wink at her.

"What did you wanna ask me, again?"

Her only response was jumping forward onto the bed and kissing me full on the lips. I've never been kissed before in my whole life. It felt warm and...nice. I expected my first kiss to go to a human, but seeing as options were limited, all I did was close my eyes and hold her in my arms.

Sorry, Chrysalis. Looks like I've got a girlfriend.

Or is it marefriend?
