My dream was too vivid to be a dream. The sky was green, much like right before the crystal detonated my school, but abit less threatening. The ground was a huge feild, a plane that streatches forever with hills rolling beyond that.

In the middle of nowhere, about a fifty feet away, laid someone on the crest of the hill, looking at a clip board and mumbling random words to itself. It wasn't a pony, but from how it looked, it seemed to be the same as the monkey species from the images in the green rock. It wore clothes though, which was different from any monkey i had seen before. It had black baggy pants that covered it's two legs, which confused me. Pants were extraordinarily rare in ponyville since they looked silly on a pony, bought by only lyra. The pants seemed to fit the monkey better than the unicorn though. It had a emerald green shirt over his chest, which was also slightly uncommon to wear recreationally.

Around its neck was a green crystal, exactly like mine, wrapped around it on a leather string. Leather bothered me endlessly after Twilight informed what it was made of to me, my friends and fluttershy, whom looked near death after the explanation. What sick freak holds an animal's skin around their neck?

Still, the thing was the only one there besides myself, so i approached it steadily. "H-hello?" I asked. My mom said for me not to talk to strangers, but i didn't really think about that until it responded to the sky in a slightly high pitched male voice.

"Gabe, who's talking?" After a short pause he continued to himself. "Hello?" More silence. "I know you're there! Don't fuck with me bro, I'm in your head!" He rose on two legs, setting the clip board down from his... what were those? To the end of his appendages were those palms with little moving things at the end, a lot like spike but with more claws, and they didn't look like claws.

He eyed the sky frantically before looking upon a man approaching us. He appeared to be the same as the one talking to himself, but much older. He wore a weirder, more antique clothes, like a golfer ponys style. His face was far more wrinkled around his cheeks and eyes, but those shone brilliantly, pure green, like, solid emerald, no black at all.

The kid stumbled back, dropping his clipboard, "What the fu-" he paused, scanning the new guest. "George Carlin?"

"Hello Zaanne," the one named George spoke, "my appearance may seem like the one whom you refer to as George Carlin, but i am merely the ship that you and your friend, Gabriel, have obtained, for i am what you may call it's A.I. System.

"Why the hell do i need a ship, we don't even have water in this part of texas!" He sounded sarcastic enough, as if he knew what the other human was refering to. "And how do you know my name if your a ship?"

George seemed ok with being called a boat. "I scanned the world and learned many names and figures, yours being very interesting. You are in Gabriel's brain and speaks with him?"

Zaanne seemed to calm down a minor amount, sitting back down but on full alert. "Yeah, i came from Gabe going loco about some harsh words, what's it to you?"

I had no clue what they were talking about, or who Gabriel was, so i sat back and listened tacitly to not disturb. "Many others seek help to get rid of such a problem if they can, why does he keep you might i ask?"

That seemed to put his rage up. "Wait, I'm a problem? You crashed into Gabe's world, sent aliens at us and demolished his school and you're calling ME a problem?!" He leaped back up, holding his chest out in an attempt to be intimidating. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!"

The outburst deemed completely unnecessary in my opinion, and George seemed to agree, though his face didn't say, the tone of his words did, "Your name is Zaanne, you are the product of a human's uneeded depression, like thousands of others, yet you have recently used my power to control the one that controls, if only for a moment. You've seen what it is like to live in one's brain and actively go out, which makes you special."

George looked to the sky and looked like he was lost in thought. Zaanne watched patiently, strangely calmed by being called "special". He stood straight and watching the human stare. "You hear him too? He's awake, finally, he's such a lazy ass. I gotta go now, he doesn't get too far alone with his sarcasm and timidity."

"Yet you don't stop him from speaking with sarcasm."

Zaanne smirked, amused by the observation. "I can't say i control him, im just his best guide, like his gaurdian angel." As he spoke, he began gathered his clipboard and began to walk. "Explain to gabe your crystal stuff and I'll act all ignorant as usual. Tata for now."

Zaanne strolled accross the hills leisurely, quickly becoming lost in the horizon. After He left, George turned to me. I hadn't realized they were ignoring me until he spoke, "So sorry for ignoring you, but i wanted to meet him before speaking with you.

As he spoke he changed form, which by then was only the second weirdest thing that happened to me then. His body structure collapsed into a mist of green before recollecting itself, gathering and condensing into a solid pony. The transformation made me step back, seeing a species change from one to another was odd enough, seeing it become the mayor of ponyville was just beyond insanity.

"Wh-who are you?" I stammered, taking more steps back. He was exactly like the mayor, despite his eyes glowing pure green still. He, or she now, had the same features, same glasses, white (pink) hair and small age wrinkles around her eyes.

She smiles, looking to me warmly, "didn't you hear? I'm the ship that Gabriel possesses. You're here due to it's engine breaking off and crash landing into your land of, what was it, equestria? And you must be Scootaloo, the one that braved the ships power. That's very noble of one so small as yourself. How old are you?"

"I'm nine years old..." Then a side thought occurred to me, "hey, mayor mare?"

"I'm not the real mayor you speak of," she added, "but go on."

After noticing what was going on here, i could easily deduct how i saved Applebloom the first time. "Well, apparently you have some sort of magic that i accidentally used to keep me and my friends alive back there in the school that, well, you destroyed. Does that crystal i found also contain more super powers? Like, for say, healing?"

"it's a simple feat as long as i understand the condition and scan for it's problems, do you need my assistance again?" She say in front of me and stared into my eyes, scaring me abit.

Her eyes were paralyzingly bright, but i spoke, "well, my friend is kinda in a hospital and we have a date soon, can you help me heal her wounds? They aren't too bad, just cuts and bruises and maybe a few burns." I didn't at all feel bad for not saying "fake" or "play" before the word "date", since that didn't really matter. I was really hoping for her to be safe, and it seemed that with that crystal, i could defend her forever. I mean, my friends... I could defend my friends forever.

She stared at me for a moment, as if still being slightly amazed by my exsistance. "Obviously, your friend Applebloom doesn't have many bad injuries, besides this," she rose her hoof to the side, displaying a small picture of Applebloom's flank. On it was a gash that made me feel queezy, just her bleeding in general was bad enough, but it looked like it could easily get worse. "Worst this will do is cause an infection, she'll be fine under the doctor's care.

"T-That doesn't look good, y-you sure she'll be alright?", I studdered.

"Of course, why bother on a few cuts anyway? It's hard to fix things like disintegration and regenerating lost limbs and more advance things as that. Her cut will be an easy fix."

"Oh thank you!" Just maybe twenty minutes before we were almost a meteor's collateral damage, so i was relieved nopony was seriously injured. Which brought my next questions, "is cheerily alright? Who else was in the crash?"

"Cheerily sustained a broken hoof but is ok mentally. As for whomever else felt my crash, only a boy from the land of Earth."

I suddenly remembered the video of that human running to the crystal. He was abit wider than George or Zaanne but showed to be bulkier. The image became more clear as i thought about it, which was weird considering how little of time i had to watch it. The two near him looked the exact same as him before they dissappeared. "That boy, was that gabe, the one you and Zaanne were talking about?"

She nodded, "he aquired amnesia a few years ago by a source that my scanning can't find yet, therefore i will stay with him and you, for when you meet him in person, or pony, whatever the case, the two of you will be more aquatinted."

I had no clue what the ship was talking about, but i was feeling anxious to meet this Gabe. He seemed brave enough to go to the ship, granted i did as well, that just made me admire him more. If rainbow dash were in our situation, would she have thought to get the crystal under control? I reckoned she would have at least tried, like me. She was too cool too not save her friends, that's just her.

"Well, mind if i wake up now? I'd love to go back and take care of Applebloom, the date is on Wednesday." Even with the stuff going on, i couldn't help but keep thinking about that day. A full night with Applebloom would be way more fun than running through a crumbling building.

"But of course, me and Zaanne will be accompanying you as you wake, in case we need your help for anything. My suggestion though, don't copy what Zaanne says, his language is rather... Uncouth."

As from what Applebloom and sweetiebelle told me, "uncouth" didn't mean good, so i nodded. "Thanks again," i said, "uhh, how do i get out?"

"Oh that's easy, just tell yourself to wake up"

I looked up, staring to the sky and spoke clearly, "wake up, me!" The sky melted into a hospital room again and i was back to where i was before, sitting in my chair, only Applebloom was gone.
