I'm so glad everypony liked the last chapter; I did put a lot of effort into it, again thanks.

So here's the next chapter.

Chapter 8: Called to Canterlot

It's been 3 days since the dance and me and Twilight are now officially dating.

Twilight has become more confident with her passionate side, as have I.

While our relationship was growing, Jeff and Spike have been hanging out more including Spike's pet phoenix Peewee, who can also talk now, thanks to Jeff.

It was a calm morning; I entered the kitchen to see Spike, Jeff and Peewee eating breakfast.

"Mornin' guys, where's Twilight?" I asked as I sat down at the table.

Spike looked up from his food. "Still upstairs. Why? Missing your girlfriend already?" they all snickered.

I was about to say something when Twilight walked into the kitchen. "Morning handsome." She said as she kissed my cheek.

"Mornin' gorgeous." I said as I kissed her back.

Spike poked a finger in his mouth with a look of discussed on his face.

As Twilight walked over to the fridge, Jeff came up next to me. "Well, I can see you two are getting along well. Next thing we know, we'll be hearing wedding bells and the sound of little hooves running around." He said with a smirk.

I turned my head to face him, "Whow slow down Jeff, we just started dating a few days ago."

Jeff crossed his wings. "Yeah I know, you kept me up all night after the dance telling me about how magical it was."

I rolled my eyes "Look, we've agreed to take this relationship slow and that's what we're going to do." I then turned away from him and took a sip of my drink.

There was a moment's silence, until we heard a sound. It sounded like someone was about to throw up.

"Guy's, I think there's something wrong with Spike." Peewee said in a concerned tone.

We looked over to Spike to see that his cheeks were inflated and he was holding his stomach. "I think he's gonna be sick. Quick, somepony get a bucket!" Jeff said.

I then got up and walked behind Spike. "Wait a second." I raised my left hoof and slapped Spike on the back.

Spike let out a large burp and fire came out his mouth along with a scroll.

"A letter from the princess?" Twilight said as she picked up to scroll and unravelled it with her magic. She then read what the letter said.

"It's for you Matt" she said as she hovered the scroll in front of me, the letter said.

Dear Matthew

I would like you to see me in the throne room at Canterlot castle as soon as possible; I need to talk to you alone.

Princess Celestia.

I then looked pass the letter to see Twilight. "The princess says she wants to talk to me alone."

Twilight got a concerned look on her face. "What for?"

"It doesn't say, but I'm about to find out." I then headed towards the front door with Twilight following.

"Are you sure you want to go alone?" she asked with a worried tone.

I turned to face her. "She said I had to. Don't worry Twi, I'll be back as soon as I can." I then gave Twilight a small kiss on the lips. I walked out the door and took off towards Canterlot.

Canterlot

It was a long flight, but I finally landed in the middle of Canterlot and started making my way towards the castle.

It was amazing; everywhere I looked there were high class ponies, fancy shops and massive buildings.

I was so caught up in the sights that I didn't see where I was going and bumped into a high class pony.

I shook my head out of its daze and looked at who I bumped into. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you."

The class pony brushed the dust of herself. "I say, it's rude to not watch were you going." She said in a posh tone.

I raised an eye brow. "Hey, I said I was sorry."

She then looked up and down my body. "Yes, I heard you the first time. Now if you'll excuse me, I can't waste my time talking to a Pegasus of….your class."

I gave her a slight glare. "What's that supposed to mean?"

She then started pointing at different parts of my body and criticizing them. "Well first off. Your mane is atrocious, have you ever heard of a comb? I can tell you didn't bathe this morning, you smell foul. And just look at your cutie mark. I mean, what is it anyway? Some sort of device? Well whatever it is, I just know it's not civilized.

She then walked passed me with her nose in the air and I continued walking towards the castle. "Yeah well, at least I don't waste my fortune betting on Wonderbolt races. Yeah, that's what I should've said." I mumbled under my breath.

I finally reached the castle and I walked up to the front doors but was stopped by a royal guard's wing.

"I'm afraid you can't go in there sir" the guard said a deep voice.

"The princess asked me to see her" I said as I showed him the letter. "Very well, follow me." He said as he opened the doors and walked inside with me following.

We walked down a large hall way with a lot of things in it, portraits of past rulers, priceless vases and there was even a bust of Celestia's head.

The guard open the big double doors leading to the throne room. Inside was a large room with large windows and at the end of the room was Princess Celestia sitting on her throne.

The guard stepped forward. "Your majesty, I believe you summoned this young Pegasus."

She looked down at me. "Yes thank you, you may go now guard."

With that the guard walked out the doors and shut them behind him.

I turned to face the princess only to be surprised to see her right in front of me. "WHOW, how'd you do that?"

She lowered her head down to my level. "There's alot of things I can do and a lot of thing that I know, secret things."

I raided an eye brow. "Like what?" I was becoming nervous.

"I know what you are Matt, I know where your truly from." She said in a serious tone.

Oh no. "How do you know?" I asked in a nervous tone.

She gave me a sweet smile. "I've always know. And I must say, you have been doing well for yourself since you came to Equestria, especially towards Twilight."

I then frowned and lowered my head. "I…..I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to her, I just wanted everypony to like me and I thought-"

I was cut off by Celestia. "You thought that if everypony knew that you're not a pony they wouldn't like you."

My head shot up to her. "YES, that's exactly it. But, now I feel bad about doing it, I don't know what to do."

"You can tell her the truth!" she said in her sweet voice.

"But what if she resents me for lying, she'll dump me and kick me out the library, I don't want to lose her." I said in a worried tone.

Celestia placed a hoof on my shoulder. "Twilight is an understanding and caring pony, I doubt she would do something like that, especially to the only colt she's ever liked."

I still frowned. "I just want her to know that I truly care about her and I'm willing to do anything to make her happy, I'd even give up my old life to be with her." I lowered my head again.

Celestia raised an eye brow. "Really? Don't you want to return to your family back on your home world?

"Well…..I'm not saying I don't love them. But back home I had nothing, no friends, no job, no girlfriend, nothing. But here I have all those things and….I want to keep them." I said calmly.

Celestia then went into deep thought and then smiled, "Matt, I'm going to make you a deal but you have to promise that whichever choice you make, Twilight will know the truth by the end of the day." I nodded in agreement.

"Matt, you have two choices. You can ether say your goodbyes to all your friends and return to your home world. Or become a pony permanently and stay here with Twilight. If you choose to stay as a pony, you can never be a human again." She said in a calm voice.

What do I do? Can I just leave my family just like that? I want to stay with Twilight but I don't want to hurt my family. Well….back home I was going to leave home eventually, guess it's going to happen sooner than we thought.

"I choose to stay here with Twilight." I said

"Very well." Celestia said as her horn began to glow yellow. Suddenly I started to glow yellow and with a white flash, the glow disappeared.

"There, you are now a pony permanently." Celestia said

As I look at my body I couldn't help but think of my family. "I will miss them. But, I'm better here and I have to move on." I thought with a small tear in my eye.

I forced a small smile on my face "Thank you princess, I'll tell Twilight the truth. But, first I need a moment to myself." I then walked out the throne room.

"Or maybe, you don't have to." Celestia said as her horn started glowing again and she disappeared in a flash.

Ponyville: Park

I was next to the fountain looking in the water, thinking about what to do next.

"Well that's it; I can never be a human again. If Twilight kicks me out, I'm right back where I started." I said to myself.

"Well, I wouldn't blame her if she did." Said a familiar voice.

"Who said that?" I said as I looked around. "Down here genius." Said the voice.

I looked down to see my reflection in the water with an angry look on his face.

I raised an eye brow. "Now, I KNOW you didn't say that"

"Yes I did, I'm your conscience and don't you think this lie has gone on long enough?" my conscience said.

"Yes, but how do I tell her. I mean, I can't just walk into the library and say Hey Twilight, just want you to know I'm not a real pony and I've been lying to you since we met." I said in a frustrated tone.

"Look Matt; like the princess said, Twilight is an understanding and caring pony. I'm sure she'll forgive you." My conscience said in a calm voice.

I let out a big sigh. "Yeah, your right. I'll go and tell her now….hello?" I looked down to see that my reflection was following my actions again. Guess that means he's gone.

I then headed off back to Ponyville.

Library

I walked up to the front door and took a deep breath. "Here go's"

I walked through the door, shut it behind me and looked around for Twilight.

"Twilight, I'm home. Listen, there's something I need to tell you." I called out.

I walked into the next room, not only did I find Twilight but I saw Celestia next to her.

"Twilight, what's the princess doing here?" I asked nervously.

Twilight turned to Celestia. "Go on, tell him" Celestia said.

Twilight then walked up to me with a small smile on her face. "I know Matt, I know everything now. She said sweetly.

My eyes widened and I was silence for a moment, my ears then lowered. "Twilight, I'm so sorry for lying. I just wanted everypony to like me and I didn't think anypony would-" my sentence was stopped by Twilight placing her hoof on my mouth.

Twilight then gave me a warm smile. "Matt, I don't care what you use to be. I just care that you're you." She then took her hoof off my mouth.

"So, you're not mad that I lied about myself?" I asked calmly.

"No, I'm sure if I was in your position I'd make up stuff too." Her smile grew and all the presser was taken off me.

"But, I do have one question. You gave up you old life to stay here, why?" Twilight asked.

I moved closer to her. "I'd give up a hundred lives if it meant being with you."

Twilight then started to get tears in her eyes; I saw this and gently wiped them with my hoof.

I then smiled. "And hey, it's not like your dating a different species of something. I mean, I am a real pony now so it's ok."

"I know…..Hey Matt, can I ask you something." She asked.

I tilted my head. "What is it?"

"I don't know what a human is or what their worlds like, can you tell me sometime." She asked with a smile.

I smiled back. "Sure I can, but you have to promise me somethin'!"

"What is it?" she asked curiously.

I then had a serious look on my face. "You have to promise you won't treat me any different than how you've been treating me since I got here.

She gave me a warm smile "Deal" we then shared a warm hug and Celestia smiled at the sight. "Well, I'll leave you two alone." With that, her horn glowed and she disappeared in a flash.

I walked Twilight to bed and said goodnight to her. But as I was about to go in my room, I heard a noise behind me.

I turned to see Twilight shivering slightly "Are you ok Twi?"

She looked at me. "It's cold tonight. Matt, feel free to say no but do you mind…..sleeping next to me tonight. You know, to keep me warm." She blushed slightly.

I blushed as well. "Errr, no, Not at all.

She then budged over to make room on the bed and I climbed in with her. Twilight then nuzzled up to me and laid her head on my chest. "Goodnight Matt."

I smiled and wrapped my hoof around her "Goodnight Twi." We then fell asleep in each other's warmth.

There you go, Twilight knows now and she's alright with it. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and next one will be up soon.

Goodnight everypony.
