When they did find him in his room at the hotel he was staying on Hearth's Warming Eve they managed to drag him out. Though all it really took was a promise from each of them to never mention that book to anyone. After that, they made their way over to the palace to talk to Princess Celestia, though he mostly talked to Princess Luna which got a few raised eyebrows from them.

"Why do they keep staring at us like that?" Luna asked noticing the stares.

"You want to know the truth?" She gave a nod. "Before we came here they found out about that book that Pinkie gave me for my birthday, and before then they were asking me if I had a crush on anypony." He replied.

"Ah, so um if you don't mind me asking, do you have a crush?" She asked with a small smirk.

"No, I don't." He replied his face going red a little.

"Then why art though blushing?" She asked slightly going back to the old language she was used to.

"I think it's just a natural reaction I have. Whenever anyone brings up that subject or more uh, intimate subjects, I guess I just get embarrassed. I really don't know why, but no I don't have a crush on anypony." He answered.

"Alright I understand, and I see you're starting to use more of our words." She said.

"Yeah, I've noticed that too. I guess they're similar enough to where I could switch out those words easily enough. Don't get me wrong I still use the words from my world but I guess some things start to stick." He replied taking a sip of his hot chocolate.

"I agree, though it's a bit different now that I've caught on how modern ponies speak nowadays. So I know what you mean." She said giving him a big smile.

"So, you want to hear something interesting about my world and its moon?" He asked.

"Yes, I would love to hear about it. From what you've already told me it sounds like our moon, only not being controlled by me or anypony else." She answered.

"Well, you may not believe this." He said.

"Come on now, please tell me. Even if it is hard to believe." She said giving him a sad look.

"Alright Luna, but like I said you may not believe me. But my world's moon is made of cheese." He said with a straight face, and now she had a look of disbelief and shock. "In a matter of fact, that's what supplied humans with all of their cheese needs."

"R-really, it's made of cheese?" She asked still a little stunned.

"O-oh, yeah it's definitely m-ma..." That's when he started to laugh so hard he nearly fell over.

"And what's so funny?" She asked even more stunned by his sudden laughter, and his laughter got the attention of the others.

"What's going on here?" Rainbow asked as they came over.

"I don't know, he was just telling me about his world's moon and then he just started laughing like a crazy stallion," Luna replied looking at him as he was trying to calm himself down with no success.

"What exactly was he telling you?" Twilight asked.

"Well, he was telling me about what his moon was made of," Luna answered.

"He didn't tell you the cheese thing did he?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, but I don't see what that has anything to do with him just busting out laughing like this," Luna replied.

"Uh, Luna he was joking. That's just what they tell their young, though he didn't really understand why that myth was there apparently they always told their young that their moon was made of cheese. It's made of exactly what our moon is made of." Twilight said with a bit of annoyance looking at him with a slight glare.

"I-I'm s-so very s-sorry, I w-was going to tell you that I-I was joking but I just h-had to laugh." He finally managed to get out wiping tears away from his eyes.

"Oh, so you were only pulling my leg?" Luna asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm sorry I just couldn't help myself." He said.

"Well, then I think I'll take my leave then," Luna said turning to leave.

"Hey, I said I was sorry." He called as she walked away.

"Looks like you did it," Rainbow said. "I seriously hope that she wasn't the one who you had a crush on."

"Like I said I don't have a crush on anyone. But if you excuse me I have to go talk with Luna, I think she's just messing with me. Maybe if I play along and make her think she got me that'll make her feel better about my joke." He muttered the last part as he walked away.

"You know I'm starting to think he really isn't interested in anypony right now." Applejack said.

"And how do you know?" Rainbow asked.

"Well I got to know him petty good since he got here, and I think I know when he's lying." Applejack replied.

"That makes sense, he goes to you or Lyra to talk before he talks to the rest of us. You two and Luna are probably his closes friends." Twilight said.

"It's good to hear that he has made such good friends in his time here. And to top it off from what you just said Twilight, my sister has finally got her own close friend as well. Which explains the letters she's been receiving, but I must ask have any of you notice anything out of the ordinary for him?" Celestia asked making everypony there jump a little.

"Oh, um we didn't see ya there Princess Celestia, but what did you mean by out the ordinary?" Applejack asked.

"It's fine, and please this is a social visit so just call me Celestia for now. As for anything out of the ordinary I mean has he been developing any other form of magic besides his own natural ability?" Celestia asked.

"Well I haven't noticed anything, but why would he suddenly develop more magic?" Twilight asked.

"Before I answer that Twilight I would like to hear what the rest of your friends have to say, have any of you noticed him using any form of magic? Now, remember he may not even realize that he's doing this magic, and it may be something as little as him being able to grow plants a little faster than normal." Celestia said.

"Um, nope besides him getting more muscle. But I think that's mostly because he has to lift like a hundred pounds of chocolate for Bon Bon every day, and he does work with AJ here." Rainbow answered.

"I haven't noticed anything like that either, he usually comes around my boutique to fix a tear or something in his winter clothes. But other than that, besides when we all meet a couple of times a week I haven't really noticed him using any kind of magic." Rarity said.

"Well, I know me and Fluttershy haven't noticed anything like that either." Pinkie answered.

"But how can you vouch for Fluttershy?" Rarity asked.

"Because she invites me over to help her bake cupcakes for some of her animals, and so far Brandon usually only stops by to pick up food or something for Daisy." Pinkie explained.

"Well then, what about you Applejack? It seems that he is closer to you than anyone of your friends, and he's spent a little more time with you than the others." Celestia asked.

"Um, well the only thing that comes to mind is apple bucking." Applejack answered.

"Oh, do you mind telling me what you mean?" Celestia asked.

"Well, when he first tried to apple buck he used his head. Quite literally to, banged his head right against the tree but got one apple to fall down though. Ever since then when he helps with harvesting the apples he's managed to find a better and less painful way for him, he kicks the tree just like we do pretty much. At first he only got a few apples at a time, but eventually, he managed to get a whole tree harvested with one kick. I just put it off as him getting stronger and him finding better ways to harvest. Does that help?" Applejack asked.

"Yes, it does. Now let me explain this, as you all know his own natural magic is to adapt. Now due to this magic, it has allowed him to be able to adjust to our world and be comfortable with its citizens as well. Now when I first got word of this I asked the doctor if I could take a look at those scans, and I made a discovery. Because of his natural ability it may allow him to start developing the ability to use magic, and from what Applejack just said it seems he's already starting to use Earth Pony magic." Celestia explained.

"So wait, you mean he could start doing magic just like unicorns as well?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes, that is a possibility, though it makes sense for him to start to be able to use Earth Pony first. Since his species seems to be mostly earthbound now, but Twilight from what you've told me about what you've learned from his history, both from him and those books, you learned that humans at a point could use magic. Is that correct?" Celestia asked.

"Um, oh yes. At a point in their history, people could use magic, and in a matter of fact, it was very common in their ancient history up to what they called the medieval era. Then it started to vanish from their world, and only very few humans could still do the most basic of magic." Twilight answered.

"Well, that's interesting, to say the least. Now it is possible that when all of them, as his world calls us, mythical creatures had gone his kind lost the ability to use more advanced magic. But since he's in our world he may be able to use magic, so I want you all to keep an eye on him. For all, we know he may just develop only Earth Pony magic, but if he develops any more kind of magic it may be dangerous. Before any of you ask it's dangerous for it might tear him apart because his body won't be used to having that much magic in it, and if it doesn't then in all likely hood it may drive him mad. I'm not sure how powerful he may get if he starts to develop unicorn magic, and judging by his people's history his kind can be easily corrupted when they get to much power at their disposal." Celestia said grimly.

"You don't honestly think Brandon would let power go to his head do you?" Rainbow asked.

"I don't know Rainbow Dash, all I know is that if he starts developing more magic then he just might. Or he might die." Celestia answered.

"Well, I don't think it would, after all, humans were able to use magic once and a lot of them managed to use it for good. Mostly anyway, and I'm sure it won't corrupt him." Twilight said.

"I do hope you're right Twilight, for if the magic doesn't kill him if he develops it then I hope you're right. For I would like to see what he would be able to do with the magic and I would rather not have him..." Celestia didn't finish and she didn't have to as the room got quiet.

After that, they tried to start some small talk hoping to get their minds off of what they just talked about. Celestia made them promise to keep an eye on him and not to tell him about what they discussed. When they all agreed a conversation finally stuck and they started talking again, but unknowing to them they had a listener.

"Hmm, interesting we need to let the others know about this. We need to eliminate this human creature before he corrupts any more ponies. And before he develops any more magic, now go and tell them." A voice ordered.

"Right." The other pony said and trotted off.

"This threat is far greater than we thought, we exiled humans for a reason." The pony who gave the order said. "But still I would like to find a little more about him before we have to enact our plan." The pony said and turned towards the party caring a plate of food towards the Princess of the sun.

A few day's passed and it was now the eve of the new year, and once again Brandon couldn't help but smile at the thought that they to celebrate the new year. But he couldn't shake the feeling that he was now always being watched, and sometimes not by friendly eyes. He didn't know why but he knew that his friends were watching him, and he was aware that they were slightly nervous around him now, except for Pinkie and Applejack, and also Fluttershy but he knew that was mostly because of Daisy.

"You know if there's something wrong you all can tell me right?" He asked as he set out his own blanket to sit on.

"What do ya mean?" Applejack asked as she put a picnic basket down.

"Well, I've just noticed that the others are a little bit nervous around me ever since Hearth's Warming Eve and even you're a bit nervous around me as well. But it feels like some of the other's are trying to avoid me a little, so are you going to tell me what's wrong?" He asked looking at her.

"Nothings wrong sugar cube, we just heard something that got us a bit nervous that's all." Applejack answered, and even though he could tell she was hiding something she was at least telling the truth. She was after all one of the worst liar's out there.

"Fine, but hey do you guys have new year's resolutions?" He asked.

"New year's resolutionary what?" Applejack asked.

"It's a tradition in the human world to make a year-long promise to yourself and do your best to keep to it. It could be anything like losing weight, to making a million bits, to just hanging out with friends more." Twilight explained.

"Oh, I understand. So what's your resolution then Brandon?" Applejack asked.

"Well, I was thinking about just to adjust even more here than what I've already done." He answered.

"That's a good one, but I was hoping you say to find a marefriend or maybe a stallionfriend?" Rainbow asked as she flew down.

"I don't swing that way Rainbow, and like I keep telling you I'm not interested in finding a marefriend. Mostly because I don't have a crush on anypony." He replied. "But hey, do you mind looking at something for me?"

"Sure, what do you need me to look..." Rainbow's face was suddenly covered by a pie tin, which she pushed off and revealed cool whip smeared into her fur.

"That's for taping me upside down this morning." He said with a big smile.

"But how did you...Pinkie." Rainbow mumbled.

"Yep, she helped me set up this prank to get you back." He said after a small chuckle.

"Well let's just calm down and watch the fireworks you two," Twilight said.

"Yes, ma'am." He saluted which got a roll of eyes from her.

"Just sit down and eat something," Twilight mumbled.

They then took their seats and waited for the show to begin, and again he couldn't help but notice Twilight and Rainbow kept looking at him from the corner of their eyes. But he just ignored it for now and just ate his sandwich that had tofu on it, which he had to grow used to that taste. As he ate though he felt another pair of eyes on him, though it sent shivers down him as it felt like threatening. He knew that someone else was watching him, and they've been watching him for longer than he thought.

Author's Notes:
