The train ride from Ponyville to Canterlot felt like forever. I lean on the window sill of my seat and watch as trees pass me by as we speed along our way. Siting next to me was Hugh, he really didn't say much after the speech earlier. He sort of sat there next to me, probably still surprised that this whole this isn't a dream, just like the rest of us.

"Sir, uh, what are we going to do once we reach D.C." I said and he turned toward me.

"Easy, we need to make the United Nations believe us when I say, our world is about to be invaded by aliens and we need your help to protect Technicolor ponies on a parallel world." He finished his breath then looked away and put his head in between his hands and shook. I guess you can it say it sounded better in his head. I turned around and looked behind me at the rest of the marines they all were still a bit shaken up after the confrontation with the guards. Like I said, many of my marines haven't seen action in a wile. Not sure about the royal marines though.

The train ride went on for a few more hours, that entire time I felt a little queasy, not sure why though, I wasn't afraid of heights or ponies... but it felt like I was going to be sick or maybe I was going to throw up. I don't know, when I tried to rest, I could feel like something was rushing through my vanes, something else besides blood, something was in there with it and when I opened my eyes I could still feel it, but it wasn't as strong like it was before. It was only when I close my eyes and tried to sleep, it comes back. I tried not to dwell on it and pushed it out of my mind.

'I'm just paranoid, that's all.' I thought to myself. 'Nothing to worry about.'

I looked to the others and they looked fine. So I went back to watching the trees as we speed along.

Canterlot Train Station 12:47 pm...

By the time we arrived the sun had been set and the moon hung brightly in the sky. The train pulled up to the station and we all got out and headed along with the princesses. They led us to a Inn not to far from the station. The building was old and rustic looking, a sign hung out front with a bed painted on it. The building was white and had moss growing on the walls it had about the chimneys that smoke rose from in big cartoonish puffs.

"You will be staying here for the night until I can send my student to collect data about your species, I won't be able to do so tomorrow because of royal matters. They will be by around 9:00 o' clock sharp. Here are some bits for you guys to get a room or two." She said giving Hugh the golden coins and then heading off toward the castle. We headed inside to find a rather small waiting room, a few chairs, a fountain, and a counter with a bell. I rang it and waited for the answer. A pony came up a small flight of stairs carrying a book and a few quills. after getting situated she looked up to us in horror. She all most froze up if Hugh didn't ask for two rooms.

"Y-you want two rooms?" Hugh nodded.

"Should this be enough, correct?" Hugh said holding out his hand with a dozen coins in his palm. He placed it on the table and after counting them she nodded and handed us two keys and pointed down the hall.

"Thanks." Hugh said before motioning for the group to follow him. We walked by meny rooms until we found our rooms some of our Marines and The British Commandos went into another. It was very large inside two beds with on window that viewed the streets behind the room. I almost fell down on to the bed if that felling didn't return when I tried to sleep. I just lied down on the bed and just stared at the celling as everyone sleep soundly.
