Radiant Tear slept in Twilight Sparkle's house that night. He gazed into the dark violet sky, thinking about the past. Tomorrow he would get a tour of this area his new friends called "Ponyville". He thought more on the past and realized a few connections. A silly coincidence, but kinda freaky. The code to get in the space pod was TWILIGHT, his A.I friend was Pinkiana, and Leafy Leaves acted just like Fluttershy, except not as shy. He chuckled at these coincidences and stared at the moon. Something he had to get used to since there was no moon at his home planet.

He looked up and saw a purple mist flying toward the Everfree Forest. It was heading toward his space pod. He jumped off the balcony and rushed toward the crater, hoping to get there before that mist gets there. As he arrives, the mist isn't really a mist, but a pony who seems to be of high status. He walks closer and she perks up.

"Thou cannot sneak up on Princess Luna. The Mistress of The Night." the royal princess said. He stopped and sighed.

"I wasn't planning on it. I was wondering why you were heading to my space pod." Radiant questionably said. She looked at him and examined his clothing. A red cape made out of a foreign silky material, gold rings wrapped around his legs, and boots to cover his hooves.

"Thou came from the boundaries of our world? But thy looks is exactly the same as us!" Princess Luna exclaimed, looking skeptical to his words. He sighed and said something that a pony his age would never understand. He went on about many subject that stunned Luna for the past few minutes until she stopped him.

"That's quite enough. Thy intelligence is beyond any other colt I seen your age. Thou art just like Twilight Sparkle, my sister's protege, except you are smarter." Luna smiled. "So thou came from out there?"

"Yes...my home world was in shambles due to the fact that all 3 kinds of ponies were segregated. They didn't like each other, just their own kinds. Alicorns like me and you..." his wings spread, letting the red cape fall off. Luna gasped. "Alicorns would get executed at birth. But my parents were important scientist for our government so they let me live. But that's before the death of my universe. I escaped the apocalypse and am the sole survivor of my world." Radiant Tear swiped the cape and threw it at the air and letting it fall on his back, covering his wings.

"Thy wings are...not like ours. The metal looks as if it replaced your bones." Luna trotted closer and inspected his wings. He sighed, but managed to put on a smile.

"That will be a story of another day. I should get back to Twilight's house. It's about to be dawn and she's waking early to show me around Ponyville." Radiant exclaimed. Luna smiled and flaps her wings, going towards a castle off in the distance.

"Bye bye Princess Luna." Radiant whispered before heading back.

"This was the first place I've been to when I first visited Ponyville. Sweet Apple Acres! They have really sweet apples here." Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, showing Radiant Tear the big farm.

"Apples? I never heard of this delicacy, but it sounds very tasty. Let's go!" Radiant said enthusiastically. He ran down the pathway toward the farm and saw Applejack exit her house. She saw Radiant Tear and Twilight Sparkle running down to her farm. She waved and greeted her new friends.

"Hey Twilight! Hey Radiant! Whatcha guys doin' here?" Applejack said as she shook Radiant's hoof.

"Just giving him a tour of Ponyville. You should let Radiant try an apple. He's never had one before." Twilight said, not noticing Applejack's horrified face.

"WHAT?!! Never had an apple before!?" Applejack yelled as she out into the orchards. Radiant Tear had a look of confusion when a red apple came out of nowhere and landed in front of him. He picked it up and ate it. His taste buds exploded in sweetness and he gasped.

"Oh my...this is really a pure taste quality! I love it!" Radiant cheered. Twilight and Applejack cheered with him. Applejack showed him to her family.

"Hey Applejack, who's yer new friend?" a young apricot filly asked when Radiant and Applejack walked in the house.

"Apple family...meet Radiant Tear. He's new in Ponyville and Twilight is showin' 'im around town. That's my big brother Big Macintosh. My younger sister Apple Bloom. And that there is Granny Smith." Applejack helped Radiant Tear make acquaintances with her family.

"Hi there stranger! I hope you feel welcome in Ponyville!" Apple Bloom smiled

"Eeyup. Come over anytime you need to." Big Macintosh shook hooves with Radiant.

"Anypony is welcome here." Granny Smith said giving him an apple biscuit. He looked at the gift and took a bite. He gasped and ate the whole thing.

"Uhh...but not when you have a large appetite." Big Macintosh sweated a little. Radiant Tear laughed a bit and he left with Twilight Sparkle.

"Thank you! I'll see you later!" Radiant Tear waved to the Apple family as him and Twilight leave the farm. They walk around in Ponyville and he sees a particular shop that looks like it sells sweets and chocolate.

"And that shop is Sugarcube Corner. That's where Pinkie Pie lives and helps the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, with the sweets and baking." Twilight said in her new guide voice. Radiant Tear ran into Sugarcube Corner and rushed inside. He slipped on the floor and crashed into the kitchen. The pots and pans flew everywhere and a bowl full of leftover cookie dough landed in his head. Pinkie Pie, coming back inside after getting some more ingredients, smiles and hops toward Radiant Tear.

"Hi Radiant Tear! Licking all the leftover cookie dough?" Pinkie Pie cheerfully asked. Radiant Tear got up, held the bowl and clean the bowl clean.

"Yeah! Sorry for not asking but it's been long since I've tasted anything real!" Radiant gleefully exclaimed. He put the bowl in the sink. Twilight Sparkle came in the kitchen and saw the mess Radiant Tear made.

"Oh...what happened here?" Twilight asked, concerned. Radiant Tear's stomach grumbled loudly, with stares toward him.

"Haha...do you have any cheesecakes?" Radiant chuckled a bit. Pinkie Pie gave him a plate after they cleaned up the mess in the kitchen. Never in their lives had they seen a colt eat a big 32 ounce cheesecake in less than a minute. After he was done, he burped a bit loud.

"Oh my goodness. Heeheehee...that beat my record of 3 minutes 35 seconds!" Pinkie Pie giggled. Radiant Tear burped and got up.

"Ahh...thank you dearly for the cheesecake. I'll see you later." Radiant said as he and Twilight Sparkle left the store of sweets. They visited the Carousel Boutique, Rarity's shop and house. As they went inside, they see Rarity working on a suit. It looked of royal design and seemed to be in Radiant's size.

"Hello darlings! You're just in time! I've just finished a suit that I think would fit Radiant Tear. It's suited for his color and it would look exquisite on him." Rarity smiled and gave the attire to Radiant Tear.

"Thank you Rarity...umm where can I change?" Radiant said looking around. Rarity pointed upstairs.

"First door to the left." Rarity said. Radiant Tear walked upstairs and closed the door.

"So...uhh...how does it look?" Radiant Tear came out, dressed in a black suit with a white tie decorated with precious gems. Rarity fell over and Twilight Sparkle was a bit stunned for a minute.

"You look fabulous! But Rarity thinks a bit more than good so it must be-"

"Fantastic! I have never seen such work outdone. I will keep this juuuust in case if you get invited to the Grand Galloping Gala." Rarity said, taking the attire off of Radiant Tear. When they took it off, Twilight realized that his cape was still on. She decided to ask later. So Twilight and Radiant waved goodbye before heading off to Fluttershy's house. As they opened the door, he saw the most wonderful sight. Fluttershy was caring for a small fluffy creature.

"Awwwwwwww it's so cute!" Radiant gasped and squealed a bit. Fluttershy jumped a bit and the creature woke up, looking a bit peeved. "Oops...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay Radiant. It must be quite lonely being in that little bed in your spaceship." Fluttershy said, rocking the creature back to sleep. "It's my pet bunny, Angel."

"Bun...ny? That furry creature is called bunny? It sounds weird, but rather fitting!" Radiant said.

"C'mon Radiant, we still need to find Rainbow Dash and we'll go back to the library to introduce you to Spike. He's a baby dragon and my #1 assistant." Twilight said before they said their goodbyes to Fluttershy. They wandered around Ponyville, hoping to see Rainbow Dash. They wandered around and found themselves at the Town Square.

"Let's take a break Radiant. All that walking is a bit tiring." Twilight said, sitting in front of the fountain. Radiant sat next to her and stretched a bit.

"I concur, plus that cheesecake is slowing me down a bit. I feel that a break should suffice." Radiant said with a smile. He saw Twilight sneaking a small peak of his cape. He felt a bit uncomfortable. "I...uhh...just don't mind the cape. It has an embarrassing insignia on my flank."

"You mean cutie mark?" Twilight asked.

"Cutie mark? You mean the insignias that randomly appear on everyponies flank? Then yes. Umm why are these called cutie marks here?" Radiant Tear asked with his hoof on his chin after a few moments of thinking.

"You definitely have a lot to learn about our civilization. Anyway your cutie mark can't be that embarrassing." Twilight said, reaching for the cape. Radiant jumped up and moved a few inches away.

"I really don't want to show you my insignia. It's actually better you don't know what's under this cape." Radiant Tear said having a look of shame on his face. Twilight decided to stop and sit a bit quietly. Then, as if lightning flashed by, Rainbow Dash zipped passed them and the wind she created with her speed threw Twilight and Radiant off their flanks and on their stomach after rolling a few times. Radiant quickly got up and adjusted his cape a bit.

"Rainbow Dash! Wait up!" Twilight Sparkle yelled when she got back up. Rainbow dash kept flying away, off into the sky. Twilight sighed. "Well, I guess I can show you around the library now. Spike must be bored doing some of the chores in the library."

"You say he's a baby dragon? What are dragons anyway?" Radiant asked.

"They're big scaly monsters that have the ability to breathe fire. They feed on meat and snack on gems like emeralds, topaz, any precious stones. Plus they have really long necks." Twilight explained.

"So they're like reptiles? Since most reptiles have scaly skin...but then it also has a serpentine figure since it has a long neck. Oh we're here aren't we?" Radiant said, looking at the tree house.

"Yep, literally a tree house. You were here last night."

"Must have slipped my mind, or the excitement that I felt that there were other ponies throughout the whole multiverses. Let's meet your baby dragon." Radiant said, opening the door for Twilight.

"Oh, you're too kind. You're the guest here." Twilight said, blushing a bit.

"It's my pleasure. I rather I'd be treated as an equal, not be spoiled with manners appointing to my reputation." Radiant said. Spike was on a ladder, alphabetizing some of the books. He turns around and nearly lost his balance, had it not been for Radiant Tear's quick reflexes.

"Whoa, thanks dude. Hey Twilight, who's your new friend?" Spike asked. Twilight dazed off a minute until Spike snapped his fingers. "Hello? Anyone home?"

"Oh sorry. This is Radiant Tear. He's new around here." Twilight introduced them both.

"Awesome. Say, Twilight, do you know what caused that shaking last night?" Spike asked. Twilight started to ponder on if she should tell him the truth or lie. Radiant sensed this and cleared his throat.

"It was me. You see, I come from a place beyond the sky." Radiant Tear said. Spike looked up at him and kinda laughed.

"Haha you don't look like any alien I seen in the books I read." Spike laughed until it died down when Radiant Tear held a more serious look. "Oh...you're serious."

"My space pod landed in the Everfree Forest. I have a friend in there that is in hibernation so that her batteries won't run out. The batteries are made of pure plasma that has been concentrated so that it was safe to hold in plasma-proof containers." Radiant Tear said in an intelligent tone. Spike's brain couldn't comprehend what he said, while Twilight knew what he was doing, but also tried to understand what he said.

"Well...I'll go to my space pod...maybe in a few days I could get some furnishings for it to make it a house...plus make a little roadway so others could follow it if they want to visit me. I thank you Twilight Sparkle for giving me a tour." He bowed his head before leaving.

"Thanks a lot Spike, you offended him."

"I'm sorry, but it really doesn't look like he came from..." Radiant Tear overheard their argument as he walked away. His eyes started to swell up in tears. He wanted someone to understand his pain, but they've shown him happiness. Sure, it gets rid of the pain from the memories that haunt, but they'll always come back. As Radiant Tear placed the broken door on the opening, he heard a electronic noises. He looked behind him and saw a screen that held words.

"How was your day?" The screen said. Radiant cocked his eyebrow up and wondered what was going on. The screen flashed again and letters starting flashing one by one. "It's me, Pinkiana." Radiant Tear gasped and smiled.

"It was the most joyous day ever. I thought you went into hibernation so that you would save batteries!" Radiant exclaimed, feeling concerned for his artificial friend.

"Solar energy from the sun is giving this space pod energy so I can communicate with you. I have enough to talk to you for 20 minutes until I go into hibernation again. I want to talk to you at least twice a week so that I know what's going on." Pinkiana said within that screen. Radiant Tear started to weep a little bit, but he wiped the tears and told her about the whole day he had. He slept well tonight, knowing that he won't be alone anymore.
