Skye remembered Applejack, "Hey, err, Applejack?" he asked. Applejack ran over to him,

"What is it?" she asked. Skye outstretched his hand,

"Is it alright if I pet you? I usually tend to want to pet something when I'm upset or feeling like dirt" he begged. Applejack looked at Twilight, and so did Skye, she didn't look back.

"Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt" she said, "And, what is petting?" she asked. Skye stopped and started laughing. Twilight must have taken this in offense, because she quickly turned around and encased him in a mist of purple sparkling aura, which shaped into an orb.

Skye banged on the inside, "Hey, let me out!" he shouted. He stopped and realized it was useless. They couldn't hear him.

Skye was Applejack outside the orb, arguing with Applejack. He looked at Fluttershy, he felt like crying, again. It didn't seem fair to him that ponies hated him when they hadn't even met him properly. "Talking ponies, that is a very childish thing. I suppose that this town has some "Cliché hidden secret" and I gotta help" he said, then sighed again.

Twilight looked at the ground and the mist and the orb disappeared. They were getting closer to the town, along the way losing Pinkie and Rarity. Skye was worried since only half of these 6 ponies left. "Fluttershy, I wanna ask you something" he said. Fluttershy looked at him,

"What is it Skye?" she timidly asked. Skye smiled,

"Earlier in the library, how come you assumed I might not be evil?" he asked.

"Is that what you were going to ask a few minutes ago?" she asked, full of curiosity. Skye blushed again,

"No, no, but why?" he said again. Fluttershy also blushed,

"Well, I… suppose I knew you weren't evil, because if you were, you could have destroyed us when you woke up, but you didn't" she said.

She looked at the sky, "It's about time to feed Angel, I wouldn't want him to wait, poor thing, I'm going to have to say goodbye for now Skye" she said. She spread her wings in a similar fashion to Rainbow dash, but didn't speed away. Instead, she steadily flapped her wings, staying close to the ground,

"That's cute" said Skye; he looked around his head, where little hearts seemed to be orbiting his head. "Applejack, why are heart shaped things blocking my view?" he asked. Applejack looked at him, then at Fluttershy,

"Wait, did you…? Ha-ha, that's precious" she giggled.

"What, did I fall in love or something?" he asked. Applejack pointed a hoof at Fluttershy,

"I think you fell for her" she said, trying to hold back sniggers. Then she stared at his eyes,

"You really aren't evil, are you? You can't be. No human has ever fallen for a pony, ever" she said, getting a bit more serious.

"Well, thanks for that Applejack, but I wanna make a good impact on the ponies here, I don't want to be outcast again" he said, reaching his hand out.

Applejack backed away from his hand, "What're doing?" she asked. Skye looked at his hand,

"Oh that's petting, when I run my ringers through your mane, or stroke you. It's what humans usually do with their… pets" he said, mumbling "pets". Applejack got close to his hand,

"So, no harm involved?" she asked, getting better trust in him. He shook his head,

"Nah, it's like…" he said, but couldn't compare it to anything. Applejack wasn't sure still,

"Maybe later" she said. Skye nodded,

"Okie dokie lokie" he said.

Applejack stared at him, "What?" she said. Skye frowned,

"Did I do something wrong?" he replied, getting a bit scared. Applejack stood next to Twilight,

"That's what Pinkie always says" she said, looking curiously at the emotion on his face.

"Really, I've said that for as long as I can remember" he said. Applejack looked over towards the town getting closer to them,

"Well, I do trust you Skye, but I think Twilight needs to help you… alone" she said, then looked at Twilight. "Seeya" she shouted as she trotted off. Only Skye and Twilight remained.

They walked towards the town, which seemed much bigger than before, but that was probably because he was running before. "Twilight, if you hate me, say it to my face. It's fine, I have no friends at home, and I wouldn't be upset or angry. In fact, I'd be pretty happy if you said you really don't hate me, I actually might cry tears of joy" he said.

Twilight stopped again, "You know why I hate humans?" she asked, getting impatient, "I hate you because you talk too much, you don't what you're doing half the time and when you don't get what you want you whine about it. The worst part is you get upset too easily or angry or displeased!" she shouted, and started breathing heavily.

Skye stopped and slouched to a sitting position, "That's a heartless thing to say, even to something you assume is evil", he said, "Tell you what, how about I go and die in a pit?" he said.

Twilight looked at him, and something sparked in her eyes, "GOOD!" she shouted in his face. Skye felt like he had been really rude to her. After all, she had dealt with humans before, and was sad. he decided to try and help her. He put a hand on her shoulder,

"Twilight, are… you okay?" he asked. Twilight put her muzzle right against his nose,

"Don't touch me!" she shouted. Skye removed his hand,

"Something is obviously troubling you, I can tell, I don't know why. What is it?" he asked. Twilight ran backwards,

"Wait, did you… see it?" she asked. Her face started to become less heartless.

"As in I kinda saw something shine in your eyes?" he said, "Yes, I saw that, why?" he asked. Twilight ran over to him and put her hooves around his waist,

"You did it!" she said.

Skye was confused, "Twilight, please tell me why you are hugging me and ten seconds ago you might've ripped my face off?" he asked. She gleamed with happiness now,

"You saw the sparkle, any human who sees that is not evil, even a little bit of evil stops a human seeing that. But you saw it, you have to be good!" she shouted, she started bouncing.

"Well, can you please lead me to town, so we can get this sorted out?" he asked. She said yes and grinned,

"Definitely!" she shouted, she grabbed his hand apparently with a hoof and started dragging him towards the outskirts of the town.

She didn't stop bouncing, and when they arrived at the town, she said, "Stay here while I get the mayor!" and bounced off. Skye smiled,

"Oh my god, she smiled, and she's happy, because of something I did!" he giggled; He did a little dance and stopped as he heard voices coming. "Crap, err…" he mumbled as he crouched into a small bush, although his head wasn't hidden.

"So Lyra, what do you plan on doing when she arrives?" said another female voice. Are they any males here? Skye looked around a tree to see two ponies, but only one of them was in the crowd, she was a light beige colour, with navy blue and cotton candy pinkie colours in her name. She had a tattoo of three candies on her flank and aqua eyes.

The other one was aqua, with an aqua mane with one white stripe in it. She also had sunset orange eyes; she was probably Lyra, as her tattoo was a harp, or a lyre.

"Nothing much, I'm supposed to be helping a few other unicorns with banners and stuff" she said. The two ponies trotted past rather quickly, as if they were late for something. Or maybe they saw him, Skye preferred the former. Anyway they were gone and Skye was waiting for Twilight to come back.

After around what seemed to be twenty minutes, Skye decided to leave his current position and look for the library. He got out from the bush and slipped beside a tree. He looked around cautiously before sneaking towards a building. He hid below the window of an old looking building.
