A dark blue pony stepped into the small area, "Hello, human, my name is Luna. I'm here to guide you to friendship with the ponies, as I see you are well acquainted" she said. Skye sniggered, then coughed.

"Erm, yeah, I just asked Fluttershy out on a date, I hope that isn't against any laws?" he said. Luna nodded,

"Well, unfortunately, that is a law, but I might be able to get that changed" she said. Applejack entered too,

"Skye, when you get better, I got a job to offer you, you know so you can get paid?" she said. Skye closed his eyes,

"Goodness, one pony at a time" he said.

"Right, so, Luna, I will talk with you tomorrow morning, is that alright?" he asked her politely. Luna nodded.

"Fluttershy, you know what" he mumbled and then looked at Applejack, "What job can you offer me?" he said. Applejack smiled,

"Well, at Sweet Apple Acres, my home, Zap Apple season is coming up and I need all the help I can get, so will you help me, if your better that is?" she asked Skye. Skye held out a hand and so did Applejack, a hoof, they shook on it,

"It's a deal" said Skye, "But for now, I would like to get some rest please" he said.

Luna, Applejack and Fluttershy had left and Skye got cosy in the duvet and snuggled up. There is nothing wrong with snuggling up at the age twenty one. He got to sleep rather quickly by counting sheep, or in this case ponies, in his head and closed his eyes.

He awakened in a dream to find that Ponyville was gone, and in its place there were only creatures that can be described as 'zombies' walking around. Skye struggled and again, fell out of his bed. "I gotta stop doing that" he said.

THE NEXT MORNING

Outside, on a cold morning, the wind whisked gently as the folks of Ponyville were lazily taking to the streets, the market to be exact. Finding ingredients and clothes, pretty much anything they needed.

But inside, however, Skye lay in his bed, he was feeling much better since a week ago, and injuries here seem to fade rather quickly. He leaned up in his bed, "Aah, another good day in my favourite town", he said.

Skye got out of his bed and looked through a window to the outside, seeing the scene of Ponyville outside. He looked back to his bed, any minute now the nurse would come by with most ponies' breakfast. He had gotten used to eating hay, it wasn't very nice, but Nurse Redheart couldn't understand why he didn't like it, which he found extremely annoying.

"C'mon, I need to see if I am allowed to leave yet" he said. And sure enough after a few minutes, the Nurse appeared, without breakfast, which meant only one thing. 'I'm free!' he thought.

"Hello, Skye, and good morning, it is time for you to get ready to visit Ponyville" she said. Skye put a fist in the air and was about to shout, but remembering where he was, he resorted to simply miming how he felt. The nurse giggled and led him to the front desk, "I hope you don't get an angry mob like last week", she said, a bit awkwardly.

Skye looked outside, where an orange Pony with blonde hair and a hat stood, she was smiling and waving. Skye motioned for her to wait while Nurse Redheart had finished some sort of form. "And you are free to go", she said, to which Skye said,

"Thanks", and ran outside.

"Hey there, sugarcube", said Applejack with a cheerful grin.

"Hey yourself, this is where I finally get to see Ponyville", he said back cheekily.

"Right then, so where do ya wanna go?" she asked, looking around Ponyville for somewhere they could visit first.

"I wanna visit Twilight first I guess, I haven't seen her since last week", he said, starting feel a bit sad again, but not too sad as Applejack patted him on the back and pointed to a big looking tree with a balcony and loads of windows with a great wooden door, with was rounded at the top, similar to most doors that weren't in the town.

Applejack and Skye started walking down the market place. Along the way, Skye could hear ponies whispering among themselves.

Skye was surprised that the news of his bravery had spread across the whole of town, although they might still be scared of him. At one point he saw a filly hiding behind her mother. Skye stopped and glimpsed at her, then put his head down and carried on walking.

Skye couldn't help but think if they still hated him or not. A few metres away, stood a mint looking pony with a slightly darker mane with a streak of pale blonde in it, "See Bon-bon, I told you they were real! I told you!" she shouted.

She trotted up to Skye and put out a hoof. "Hi, I'm Lyra Heartstrings, and this is my good friend Bon-Bon", she happily said, although it sounded more like her singing.

"Cool, and can I ask, how it is you know about humans?" he asked her.

"Because I research them of course", she answered.

"Yeah, because I'd really know that was the answer" he said back.

Lyra shook her hoof that was still outstretched, "Are you gonna shake my hoof?" she asked, as if it were a privilege to do so.

"Oh yeah, sorry, kinda forgot about handshakes, seeing as no-one hear has hands", he laughed. He shook her hoof and she squealed. She ran off to her friend Bon-Bon and kept singing and jumping while walking around her. Skye found this funny.

"Ya comin', sugarcube?" came the voice of Applejack, shouting from a distance. Skye looked at some of the ponies, some of who didn't seem frightened about him after the little friendly talk with Lyra there.

"Yeah, I'm coming", he shouted, and ran into her direction. He felt really weird seeing all of the ponies watching him, so he slowed down and stopped again, only a few metres away from the orange mare. "Applejack, could you… get everyone to stop staring at me, I feel like a freak", he said, stroking his arm.

"Alright, everypony, get back to ye duties" he said, and almost instantly, all the ponies went back to buying, or doing whatever they were doing.

"Applejack, thanks", he said.

"No problem, though if ya ever do got a problem, come see me and I'll sort ya out" she said in a rather kind tone. They were almost at the library when they saw something in the window.
