Ponyville

8:24 AM

Isaiah POV

I stood in the doorway with three new mares in front of me. Each one had a look of surprise plastered upon their faces. Their emotions ranged from pleasantly surprised to slightly cautious with my presence. I was caught off guard that Twilight decided to introduce some more of her friends to me; not that I didn't mind... sort of.

The first one that caught my eye was lone pegasus. The mare had a cyan coat that reminded me of the blue skies outside. She had a pair of striking magenta eyes that focused strictly on me. Her light blue wings were splayed out, giving an a amazing view of her feathered wings. Compared to the other two, she was the slightly shorter; her height only coming up barely pass my belly button. The most unusual feature of her was her mane and tail, which were the color of the damn rainbow. Her colorful hair appeared to be wildly uncombed but each vivid colored hair strand seemed to be in place with the others. The cutie mark on her flank was a rainbow lightning bolt zapping out of a white cloud. Her mark made it hard to determine what her talent may be. Her surprised demeanor vanished and turned in to a slightly defensive stance, as if she was expecting me to attack or something.

The second mare was too unusual. The mare had a pink coat and a matching hot pink wacky mane and tail. Her hair was way out of order and looked like a jungle of pink cotton candy. She owned sky blue eyes that stared at me awe and anticipation to meet me. Her body seemed to be vibrating in place; which slightly made me uncomfortable. Unlike the rainbow haired one and Twilight; she had no horn or wings, informing me that she was an earth pony. I managed to glimpse a look of her shaky cute mark. The brand on her hindquarters had three balloons; to of which were blue and a lone yellow one. I estimated that her talent must have some party related thing to it.

The third and final one was a earth pony. The mare had light green eyes with small patches of white freckles under them. She had blonde mane and tail, with each ending in a ponytail; ironic. What made her different form the rest was the light brown stetson hat that adorned her head. I was able to tell that she owned a well toned body underneath her orange coat . She was the tallest of the two; her head from what I could guess was about four inches higher than my belly button. On her well toned flank was a trio of red apples, making it plain was day that she was a apple harvester or something in the similar. She slowly started to calm down when I let a smile form on my face to show that I was friendly.

Wait a sec, did I just say 'well toned flank'? What the hell brain!?" I screamed in my head.

"Twilight, mind introducing me to your friends?"

She smiled when I showed that I was more than happy to meet her friends. "Isaiah this is, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack."

Once she introduced each of her amigos, I took one step before the pink one zipped right up to my face.

"Ohohwhatareyou!?" She blurted out, making me take back the single step.

"Uh?" Was all I could say before she interrupted me.

"Doyoulikeparties,Iloveparties!" She rushed out whatever she said in a flash. Her personality was starting to make my annoyed.

"Good gravy girl, calm yer self down!" Applejack said while pulling Pinkie back with her tail in her teeth. She spoke with a familiar accent that reminded me of home.

"Hehe, sorry about that Isaiah. She always gets excited around new ponies. I hope you could see her enthusiasm for meeting somepony new." Twilight apologetically informed.

"That's nice, I guess."

Rainbow Dash was the next one to speak. "So you're the new guy hmm? What so great about you?!"

My hopes for her being decent died away when she demanded in a tomboyish voice. It wasn't her voice that bothered me, it was how hostile she said it.

"Watch it." I spat out in a aggressive manor.

"Hey now, theres no need for hostilities." Twilight exclaimed out loud.

Me and the pegasus slightly calmed down while focusing on each other. I ignored her before she even thought of the option and sat myself down on the bed with breakfast in hand. It was the average, toast, scrabbled eggs, a glass of OJ, and grits. I found it a little odd that there were eggs, but as always, I ignored it and ate. I saw that Redheart was heading for the door and thanked her for the food.

"So why are you three here?" I asked the trio before I took a bite out of the toast.

"Well, Twi and Rare wouldn't stop talkin' about ya yesterday, so we thought it would be nice to meet ch'a." The assumed apple harvester answered.

"That's nice of ya." I muttered while looking at Dash; squinting my eyes. "Yeah, very nice."

Twilight was the next one to speak up, trying to change the mood in the room. "Okay Isaiah you're going to be having a big day to day!"

"Yeah, what's happening?" I questioned her after I swallowed down a spoonful of grits.

The unicorn pulled out a list out of her saddle bag and brought it to her face. "The Princesses and I would like to know more about you and your culture. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about Equestria too, matter of fact."

"That's alright with me, when is it?"

"When do you want to start? The Princesses have cleared their schedules for this week so they have more time to converse with you." She announced.

I began to think for a sec, but an idea came to mind. "Are the Princesses available right now, I would like to speak to them."

"Sure, Luna and Celestia are at the encampment outside the Everfree Forest. Would you like me to bring them here?"

I shook my head. "No, I'll walk there."

What I said didn't sit well with Twilight. "But you're hurt! You can't walk there!"

"Watch me."

I placed the empty food trey on the cart and stood up. I limped my over to the door, but was stopped by the tomboy pegasus.

"Go back. Now." She growled at me while in a defensive stance.

"Get out of my way." I calmly asked.

"No!" Rainbow Dash barked.

I furrowed a eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

"Positive." The mare hissed.

I shook my head again. "Sorry Rainbow Dash."

"Wha-!" Before she could finish her sentence, I leaned forward and grabbed her mane and threw her down to the ground. I didn't mean to throw her, I just wanted to move her out of the way, she was lighter than I expected. I thought it was rather foolish of her to get in my way.

Everyone would say that pulling hair is a cheap move, I disagree. I sometimes saw 'cheap moves' as a move of slight advantage, I'll use any move if necessary if I need to.

The mare got back onto her hooves and was about to charge me before Twilight stopped her. I turned my head at them to steal a glance at them.I focused on the pegasus until we made eye contact, when we did; I shook my head at her and closed the door when I left.

I expected her to follow me, but she strangely didn't. I could only assume that one of the mare stopped her before I had to further deal with her. I kinda felt bad about what she did, she wouldn't have to have me remover her out of my way. I was never one to start fights, especially with a girl. I have the feeling that the Princesses are going to give me shit for that later.

Each single step I took shot a jolt of pain into my left leg. The gash on my chest produced a awkward dull pain. I stepped into the lobby only to be greeted by a pair of nurses who weren't too happy that I was out and about. I sighed to my self, the only way of getting out of here without hurting anyone would be to lie. Lying was a bad habit that I was good at strangely.

"Sir, may I ask why you aren't in your room?" I light purple nurse mare asked.

"Well, the Princesses sent Twilight Sparkle here to inform me that they need my presence at the camp immediately. I know that I'm injured, but I'm fine. I am more than capable of getting there on my own without the need of assistance." I lied.

"Do you have any papers?" The other asked.

"Ma'am, there is an emergency at the camp. If you keep on stalling me, I will inform the Princesses of your act. I assure you that they would be very displeased with you and your action that you are currently doing. There is no need of papers, especially when danger has arisen at the camp that only I can fix." I snarled at the pair.

"W-were sorry for interrupting you sir." The both squeaked in unison.

I stared at them for a moment and left the hospital. I was blinded my the sun's assaulting rays. When my eyes adjusted, I could see ponies going about through the town. I couldn't but help notice that there was a large amount of mares that out numbered the stallions. I ignored it and continued my way to the camp.

Some time passed by before the lone Twilight trotted up to my side. Judging by the look on her face, she wasn't to happy.

"I can't believe you did that." She said while frowning.

"She wouldn't get out of my way." I causally stated.

"Bu-"

I interrupted her. "Let's ignore this for now, okay?"

"Wh-" She stammered out before I interrupted her again.

"Don't you dare finish that."

She thankfully sighed and gave up.

Twenty minutes later...

Chatter form the Princesses could be heard behind the tent's flaps. Thankfully the guards who were stationed at the front recognized me and lifted the flaps. I thanked the two and limped inside. When I in, I could tell that they were surprised by my attendance.

"Isaiah, what are you doing here? You should be resting in the hospital." Celestia questioned me.

"Early release."

She didn't buy it. "You lied didn't you."

Aw crap. Their going to be pissed.

"Yup." I answered as if nothing was wrong.

Celestia sighed and Luna shook her head; both of them were disappointed by my action.

"Heh, sorry. I wanted to make myself useful by talking about each other's planets. If you have the time, I would like to start."

Luna smiled. "Let's sit down."

"No. How about we go back to the shelter in the forest. Being there would be a better learning experience for you and would be easier too."

Twilight found an opportunity to speak. "Isn't that dangerous to be out there?"

"It would be if we didn't have two powerful Princesses with us." I said while pointing towards the sisters, trying to feed their ego.

The look that they were giving each other showed that they were slightly hesitant. They quickly focused back on me and nodded their heads in approval. Making me smile, Twilight looked slightly worried about the fact that were going into the forest.

I broke the silence. "When do you want to leave?"

The sisters conversed for a second and decided to leave in five minutes. I went out of the tent to find my dirt bike.

I found my bike still leaning against the oak tree; untouched. I stuck my hands in my pockets and pulled out the key for the only fast transportation I had. I held the key in my hand while I waited for the Princesses to finished what ever they were doing.

Soon the Princesses and the unicorn made their way over to me. Luna and Twilight both had saddlebags but Celestia had none, I could only guess that they had writing utensils or other things in that nature jammed back inside the bags. I was glad to see that the Princesses were able to come with me into the forest.

"Y'all ladies ready?" I hollered to them, while starting the dirt bike.

They didn't answer, the only response I got from them was a startled jump.

"W-what is that thing?!" Twilight yelled.

"This, is a dirt bike."

"What does it do?" Celestia asked me.

"A dirt bike let's me travel across rough terrain quickly and efficiently."

The Unicorn's eyes glowed in curiosity. "How does it work?!"

"Eh, not now."

A disappointed look formed on her face.

"So, are y'all going to teleport over there? As I see it, it would be safer for y'all to do that instead of having to travel through the damn forest."

Both Luna and Celestia glanced to each other. "Are you sure you want to travel alone Isaiah? It's dangerous to go alone you know." The night Princess asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine."

I felt confident in myself. I would hopefully be to fast for anything go chasing after me. I also had a handgun for protection against creatures of small or medium size.

"Okay Isaiah, I'll go ahead and teleport us there. When will you be there?" Luna questioned me.

I dragged my fingers in my hair in thought. "Uh, maybe in ten minutes or so. Just to let you know I have the only key, so y'all are going to have to wait until I get there."

"I'm sure we'll be fine Isaiah, theres no need to worry. Go ahead and go, we will be there when you arrive." The Princess of the day reassured me.

Once she gave me there final words, I left for the shelter.

Ten minutes later...

I sped past the trees and bushes of the forest. The sun's warm rays blazed upon my back as I dodged tress and other obstructions in front of me. The fresh air made my hair dance in a un-orderly fashion in the wind. I started to slow down as I spotted my shelters metal walls. The color of Celestias hair would be seen not to far from said shelter, informing me that they were there waiting for me. I found a opening on the edge of the forest and rode in.

The trio smiled to me as I slowed down to a complete stop in front of the shelter's door.

"Have any trouble?" I asked them.

"We had none, how about you?" Celestia questioned me.

"Nope, no problema. Now if you excuse me, let me get this door open..." I said while retrieving the key.

I opened the recently dented steel door for us to enter.

"As I said to Luna and Shining Armor from before, do not touch anything. Do I make myself clear?" I commanded

The other two nodded their heads in acknowledgement and understanding.

"Good. Now lets get down to business." I said while allowing them entry.

Both Princess Celestia's and Twilight's eyes lit up when they saw the insides.

I found the moment of silence as a chance to explain why I was in here when I showed up. "I was living here for a while; in that time, I was transported here."

"You said that there was a sandstorm that happened, right? That's what Luna told me while you were in the hospital." The older sister asked me to confirm.

I sighed. "Yup, that's all I know."

After I said that, I let Celestia and Twilight to explore a little. Allowing me and Luna to have a moment to converse.

"Hey, I couldn't but help notice that the corpse of the attacker was gone, thanks for taking care of that." I whispered.

She turned her head toward my direction. "Oh, yeah. After the investigation crew was finished, we had a disposal team to pick up the... remains." She looked down. "What did you do to him?"

I didn't want to talk about this, I wanted a conversation on more happier terms. "I used molotov cocktail on him."

"What is that?" She quizzically asked.

"It's a cheap incendiary weapon. It consists of a bottle with some flammable fuel and a rag with a flame lit on it. So when someone throws it, the bottle breaks and the fuel spreads. Then the rag with the small flame ignites the fuel, therefore setting ablaze to the target." I informed.

She looked horrified. "Why would anypony use such a terrible thing?"

"It's cheap and easy to make, very effective too. The bombs are often used by rioters and ill-equipped guerrilla fighters." I finished.

She could only shake her head.

*CRASH*

I shot my head into the direction of the noise, ready to yell at who cause the accident. There in the on the floor was a pile of scrap electronics on the floor, with a guilty looking Twilight.

"What did I say?" I growled.

"N-not to touch anything..."

"And what did you do?"

She sighed and stared at the ply wood floor. "I touched something..."

"I'll forgive you for this for now. But if this happens again, I'll kick you out. Do you understand?"

She slowly lifted her head up and down.

"Good. Now go and wait with Luna while Celestia is finished looking around and when I'm done picking this up."

She stood back up onto her legs and made her way over to the dark blue Alicorn. I slightly felt bad for having to treat her like a child. I began to pick up the pieces of the electronics, some were still good, but others had a crack or chip broken into it. After a minute passed, I got off my knees and made my way over to the trio; they were clearly eager to start.

"Okay, shall we begin?"

"Were ready, are you?" Celestia asked me.

"Yes. Now let me start by saying that everything that I'm about to tell you, happened less than fifty years ago. Why? Because it leads up to how my planet currently is." I said before I cleared my throat and began.

Both Luna and Twilight pulled out scrolls and quills, ready to start taking notes. Celestia just sat there, waiting and listening.

"About forty-five years ago during the year 2016, Earth had seen better days. Leaders of very powerful super countries were at each others throats because of problems that started forming, but there were other more extreme concerning problems too. Things like famines, wars, religion, economic ordeals, pollution, and recourse concerns. Worst of all, there was a bio-terroristic group that basically caused the collapse of society."

So far of what I said clearly caught their interest; as if it wasn't all ready.

"We never knew their group's name, but everyone recently gave them the name 'Messorum'. Anyway, the things they did were... nightmare-ish. They would often cause outbreaks of diseases and viruses, one of which threw the world in turmoil. Everyone decide to call the virus 'mortem which means 'Death' in Latin. Mortem like wildfire, when it started, the virus was first reported both in China and India; which are countries with a huge population and major exports. And of course, the virus spread at a rapid rate. Within two months, every country had at least ten-thousand people who were infected with the virus. One month later... that's when everything went to shit."

I glanced up to their faces, only to see disturbance in them.

"The infected started attacking non-infected. They massacred in large numbers and overwhelmed the healthy, killing them and eating the corpse. Soon the infected started killing millions upon millions of non-infected. As time pass by, some bastard managed to get ahold of nuclear weapons, and sent majority of them to china and India; blaming them. It's just... everything happened so quickly, truth be told, people are still confused and unaware of how it all went down. It was a true nightmare from what I was told by the older folks. By the time the climax ended, it was estimated that five billion were dead or infected."

The last sentence made their jaws drop. They had the look of fear, concern, and sympathy.

"But there were survivors. Well-organized communities formed up and defended themselves from the infected and hostile survivors. Soon, thriving communities evolved into city-state like colonies." I paused for a second. "Turns out, they were rebuilding society. For example, the colony that I grew up in was originally a group of citizens from a small town, survivors from others and a group of rouge military personnel. They all agreed to start all over again as long as they followed the laws they made. I'll get more in-depth with my colony later. Anyway, the cites that weren't occupied with survivors began to fall apart and loose it's self to time and nature. The only thing left now are ruins and destroyed remains of what was left of the non-bombed out cities. Infected can still be seen milling about the ruins, hunting for anyone unfortunate enough to wander in. I bet I could go on for hours upon hours, but theres just to much. I'm done, questions?"

Twilight was the first one. "What was the original population before the outbreak?"

"It was a little bit over seven billion, I think."

My answer lowered their mood even more. Even I still found it hard to believe that the virus killed billions of us, it's mind boggling.

Celestia was the next one. "The infection, what were the symptoms?"

"High fever, paling of the skin, vomiting, fluid discharged, dehydration, hallucinations, chills, dilated eyes, boils on the skin, loss of hair, vomiting blood, and increase of aggression. I think theres others, but they are more detailed and scientific than I know." I listed them out, skipping the detailed ones.

"How would you describe the behavior of the infected?" The lone unicorn asked me.

I rubbed my chin in thought. "Erratic. Sometimes they are slow and weak, other times they are fast and strong, it's hard to determine. It seems like they have infinite stamina too; tiring them out is impossible. They seem to act purely out of instinct; just like a animal. The infected appear to prefer to gather in groups, which makes them more of a threat. It seems like they still have a small amount of intelligence, they sometimes would throw rocks or trick someone into a ally way that has a dead-end. That's all I can say, every thing else is more in-depth than I know."

After I was finished, Luna and Twilight were scribbling down notes.

"What can you tell us about your colony Isaiah?" The white Alicorn asked me, I was happy to change the topic.

"Dustin,is... or was my home. It's the one of the most powerful, strongest, safest, and feared colony in North America. There're very few cites like it, but none can compare. The population is about one-thousand two-hundred, and is steadily growing every year. We have our own laws, government, education systems, a small military force, jobs, currency, and other things that make a successful colony/country."

Luna looked up from her scroll to focus on me. "What can you tell us about the other colonies?"

"They... are a varied bunch. There are others, but they aren't as sophisticated like Dustin. Much like a country; we have our allies and our enemies.

"Enemies?" Twilight questioned.

"Yeah, but I rather not dwell into such a topic..."

The three in front of me asked question upon question as time passed. The trio had their own specific interests, but altogether they were blown away when I explained our technology. At first, they thought I was lying about space flight, planes, and whatnot, but when I retrieved a book from the back of the shelter, they shut right up. I had to use the restroom, which allowed them to look at the book further more while I was away. When I came back, they their eyes were still glued to the pages. The mares were disappointed when they couldn't read english; which dulled the excitement for them.

"Isaiah, what's the most advanced piece of technology you have here?" Princess Celestia asked me.

To respond to her question, I turned around and dug into my personal items to pullout black rectangle. "This is a laptop."

The laptop was my best find as a scavenger. I remember that I was looking around in a mansion in Dallas when I stumbled across a large safe. After some time passed by with the help of some friends and thermite, we managed to get the thing open. Seeing how I was the one that found it and thought of using thermite; I got first pick. Besides the laptop, there were other things in there too. Things like old money, jewelry, a handgun, random papers, and pictures of the owners family were too found. Once I got back to Dustin, I immediately checked on the laptop. Once it was finally charged, I booted it up. After a while of going threw it, I learned that the person who owned it loved video games, cats, and porn.

The amount of cat pictures and porn was... disturbing.

I felt disgusted knowing that I was using a laptop of a assumed chronic masturbator who was obsessed with felines . Anyway, I took the computer to some of Dustin's eggheads to restore it to factory settings. Soon after that, I started using it for my families cattle business and information on ruins for scavenging. For the more personal things, I had music and movies installed into it too.

"What does this 'laptop' do?" The blue Alicorn asked while inspecting the device.

"It's a computer thats an electronic machine which calculates all the mathematical and logical problems. Back then, I would be able to play games, communicate with people from long distances, use the internet and much more. But sense there's no internet anymore, the only thing I'm able to do is listen to music, watch movies, solving mathematics, write, and other simple tasks that I'm not aware of." Once I said that, I pressed the power button.

"What's the internet?" Luna questioned me again.

"Well, the internet a large group of computers that are connected to each other. The Internet is used to send information quickly between computers around the world. It has millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks and websites, which together carry many different kinds of information and services. So in other words, the Internet is a network of networks." I informed.

"Fascinating..." The eldest sister whispered to herself.

"Are you able to use the internet?" The lavender unicorn piqued up.

I shook my head. "No, I'm on a different planet and the other... I'm not sure how to explain. Lets just settle with the fact that theres no internet."

My crappy answer didn't sit well with her, but she ignored it.

Celestia was the next one to ask a question. "What was the country that your colony is currently in?"

"The United States of America. Form what I learned, it was a pretty decent country compared to the others."

"And what can you tell me about the United States of America?" She added. The question was a good one for me.

"The United States of America, also know as America or US, was a country on the continent of North America. It was made up of fifty states and some small federal districts, and was one of the world's superpowers. It was also famous for its influence over finance, trade, culture, military, politics, and technology. I actually have a book about it somewhere around here that I'm happy to lend to y'all." I informed the mares, making Twilight beam.

"But how would we be able to read it, we don't know your language?" Princess Luna pointed out, making Twilight frown a little.

"I'm sure you're smart enough to learn it later on; hell if you need me to, I'll read it out loud for ya." Once I said that, they lightly shook their heads in approval. "Is there anything else?"

"Well, last time I talked to you, you said that humans were omnivores right?" I nodded to Twilight. "What do you exactly eat?"

I had to think this out some; I didn't want the Princesses to freak on me. "It's simple really. Were able to eat plants, animals, oats, and some algae and fungi. Unlike other animals that eat meat, we have to cook it to kill off the harmful bacteria. So don't expect me to shove random animals in my mouth."

Luna furrowed her brow at me. "Are you able to go with out meat?"

"I could, but it's rather unhealthy to do so. Meat plays such an important part in our diet, it would be unwise to stop consumption. If you're planing on wanting me to stop, don't even think of it. How would you feel if I made it unable for you to consume vegetables?" I asserted.

Luna chuckled. "Calm down Isaiah, were not going to stop you from eating meat. We understand how valuable a food source is to another."

Her statement made me calm down.

"Heres another. How are you able to stand on two legs without a tail?" Twilight asked in puzzlement.

"Well, humans have a good sense of balance I guess, our big toes and our ears help too." I gave her a pretty shitty answer.

The younger sister was the nest one to speak up. "When we were looking though the book you let us look at, we couldn't but help notice a human in a strange white suit that looked like he was on the surface of the moon. Is he really on it?"

"Yup, that was Buzz Aldrin, second person to ever walk on the moon. So yes, we have been on our moon. Twelve people have been on it and six trips to it matter of fact." I answered the mare's question, wowing the mares. I really enjoyed learning about the moon, I remember often reading books about them when I had the free time when I was younger. It's good to see that I'm finally using what I learned.

"It's amazing that your species is able to conquer such feats." Princess Celestia marveled.

During our discussion, I completely forgot about the laptop. The screen lit up as I entered the password; allowing me entry. The light being produced could be seen reflecting off of me in their eyes. I looked at the battery indicator; informing that there was forty-five percent of battery left. I didn't want to use much of the battery that was left, I agreed to myself that I would let a song or two to be played for them.

"Luna, remember how you wanted to listen to some music awhile ago?" I asked her as I looked at the list of songs.

"Yes..." I slowly confirmed with a small grin forming.

For the first song that I picked, I decided for it to be slow and calming; nothing to high tempo. When the music started, the mares were in awe. The notes filled the shelter's air in a beautiful harmony. I always loved Chopin's work, his masterpieces amazed me; no matter how many times I've listened to a song over and over again. I downloaded many of his songs from a USB drive that was owned by an old man who used to play Chopin's songs as a way of making money. He told me that he would download the songs from the internet and play them when he was away from his piano.

"H-how many pianos are there?" Twilight murmured.

Thats a really odd question... "Theres only one piano Twilight. Why would they need more?"

"It's just..." She mumbled into silence.

I guess I could see her astonishment. Judging by the lack of hands, their piano players aren't as skilled as ours, and most likely require more than one piano player to make a decent piece. The unicorns might have some sort of advantage over the others, but I could only assume that.

"How does the record fit in there?" Luna babbled.

A record, like a vinyl record? "Um, there is no record. Every thing is digital."

"Wow..." Was the only response I got from her.

The music finally came to an end, making a sound of disappointment from the mares.

"May we please listen to another Isaiah?" Celestia politely requested.

"Sure, one more. And who about something a little bit more modern?" I suggested while selecting the next song from the play list.

For the second song, I picked something with a little bit higher tempo, and slightly more modern. This song is one of my favorites from Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song had a simple yet powerful message being produced from it. The only other Southern Rock producers that I like besides Lynyrd Skynyrd is the The Allman Brothers Band; who I also loved and wanted to listen to at some point.

I glanced over to the trio to see them lost to the music, happily listening to the lyrics being sang by Ronnie. Minutes passed until the song sadly came to an end.

"What kind of instruments are they using?" Twilight asked me.

That was a good question, one that actually made me think pretty hard. "Hm, let's see. Theres the keyboard, drums, electric guitars, bass, and I think an organ."

"What's a electric guitar and a keyboard?" The Princess of the night broke in.

I really didn't know how to logically explain a electric guitar. "A electric guitar is basically a guitar that can make different sounds that a normal acoustic guitar. And a keyboard is a electric piano that can make all sorts of other sounds that a piano can't." I responded.

Once I answered her question, I turned off the laptop and returned it to my personal belongings.

"I was honestly surprised by how good the quality of the music was." Celestia chatted.

"Pff, if you though the laptops lousy speakers were good, wait till you hear these babies." I remarked while patting the stereo system with my left hand.

We began to filter cautiously outside, ready to leave. Both Luna's and Twilight's saddlebags had been filled with notes about Earth and it's inhabits.

"Isaiah." Celestia called out, trying to get my attention while I was looking at the edge of the forest.

"Ma'am?"

"Would you like to have dinner with us at the castle tonight? This would give you a chance to go out and see a different part of Equestria."

Her invite really caught me off guard. I never ever expected to be invited to dine with royalty at a fuckin' castle. I'm surprised that she would ask someone like me to do such a thing.

"Uh... sure. I would love to. Thank you." I agreed.

She gave me a heart warming smile. "That's great to hear. Make sure to be at the encampment outside the Everfree forest by 4:00 PM. Luna will be there waiting for you."

"4:00 PM, got it. I'll be there. One question though, do I have to dress formal?"

She shook her head. "No you don't, but please do dress nicer."

I agreed after glancing down at my current attire; they were stained, had holes ripped into them, and were filthy. I noticed that I haven't bathed in awhile too.

"Sure, no problem."

And with my final words, both Twilight and Princess Celestia teleported away; but strangely Luna was still by my side.

"Isaiah, I need to inform you of something." She said before I interrupted her.

"I know, I know, I need to clean up and what not."

She chuckled in a adorable fashion. "Well, that and something else. Do you know what 'Heat' is?"

"Uh, warmth?"

"No, nothing like that. Do you know what a estrous cycle is?"

...Where is this going?

"Yes..."

"That's what I meant by heat. Anyway the time has come that the heat will be soon effecting the mares. You must be wondering why I'm telling you this and why you should take heed. The estrous cycle will make mares more... lustful. Please Isaiah, do not underestimate this."

What she just said made me loose myself. "HAHAHA! Y-YOUR'RE JOKING RIGHT?! HAHAHA!"

"Isaiah, I'm not joking about this! This is serious!"

"HAHAHA-OW!" I yelped as she dropped a rock on my head. Even though I was still slightly laughing, I was ready to listen to her.

"As odd as it may seem Isaiah, it can be dangerous alone or without a herd. As I said before, do not underestimate this situation!" She half yelled.

"S-sure." I snickered out.

She looked down in disappointment. "Don't say I didn't warn you. Good bye Isaiah, stay safe."

"Bye!" I hollered while waving to her before she teleported.

I still found it humorous that she thinks that mares would want to fuck me. Come on, we aren't even the same species, how could that work! It's not like they are going to be mindless sex fiends that want to revenge me.

HA! What are they going to do, raise their tail and start winking at me?!

I soon calmed down and started to plan out for what to do today before I have to start cleaning myself up.
