He was sleeping quite comfortably and having a nice dream about something that seemed so familiar but he didn't know why. All he knew is he was somewhat happy as this dream continued and he never wanted to leave this place. Though he felt something shake him rousing him, making him leave the dream.

"Hey, wake up." A familiar voice called quietly.

"Why?" He asked tiredly.

"Because it's about noon, and I figured you might want to get up." His eyes starting to open a little and saw an orange furry face in front of him.

"Aaah!" He screamed and jumped, but he managed to calm himself down and remembered where he was. At least world-wise, but as he looked around he was laying in a nice soft bed. After focusing more he saw that he was in a nice little room. "Where am I?"

"You're at my place." He looked and saw Applejack looking at him holding back a laugh at how he jumped. "You seemed to have fun last night, never thought I see somepony out drink me." She said looking at him, and for a moment he was confused.

"Oh, now I remember now." He said shaking his head. "What was I drinking though that got me so drunk?"

"Hard Apple Cider, though I will admit that I didn't think it would have the same effect on you as it did us. But to clear some stuff up, the reason why you got so drunk might have been my fault." He looked at her for a moment, and it came rushing back, most of it anyway. "So how you feeling? I know that after you put away that much you must have one heck of a hangover." She said with a little concern.

"Actually I feel fine, a little sore but fine. I think I remember most of last night, you challenging me to a drinking contest, and I won. But did I do anything, umm well you know embarrassing?" He asked, but as he asked he realized he had no clothes on. "What happened to my clothes?" Asking in a panicked voice.

"Well to answer your first question no, at least nothing that we thought was embarrassing." He let out a sigh of relief but still felt panicked. "But I know that taking off your clothes makes ya feel uncomfortable, and I promise that's all you did. Well besides puking all over them, that's why you took them off. Of course, we had to prod you to, you know you're a little more stubborn about that when you're drunk?" She let out a small laugh. "Don't worry I went over to Twilight's and got you some fresh clothes, and I'm glad to see that you don't have a hangover. Though I don't know how you pretty much drank two whole bottle's of hard apple cider by you're self."

"Well I guess I can handle my alcohol, but about those clothes?" He asked blushing.

"Oh, right sorry." She said blushing herself, but it was out of embarrassment of forgetting about the clothes. "Hold on, I'll be right back."

When she left the room he relaxed a little and trying to get rid of the burning in his face. Though he wondered why he was at Applejack's? He knew he was supposed to be staying over at Twilight's, but then he remembered something else about last night. Twilight had said that she would prefer it if he didn't puke all over her floors, so she asked Applejack to take him to her place, though he was at maximum blackout he remembered he was standing right there.

"That unicorn must have OCD or something." He said under his breath, remembering how she had rearranged the entire food table.

"Who Twilight? Yeah, she can get obsessive over stuff some times. Try not to take offense to it though, and besides, you didn't puke on me or even after we got back here." He looked in surprise to see Applejack was back.

"Uhh I didn't mean anything by what I said, and why should I take offense? I wouldn't want someone puking all over my house if they were completely wasted. But it's good to hear that I didn't vomit all over you or your house." He said putting on a nervous and uncomfortable smile, and that made her chuckle.

"I know ya didn't mean anything by it sugar cube. Though I should warn ya, Pinkie Pie will be wanting to know when your birthday is and she won't stop until you tell her. And here's your clothes." She said grabbing them with her mouth and putting them on the bed. "I will be downstairs, come down when ya are ready for some lunch okay?"

"Yeah, but you didn't have to bring me a shirt you know? For some reason, I don't think I would feel uncomfortable with no shirt, but thanks I'll be down in a second." He said giving her a nod and a smile.

"I think I might have to remember that next time then, you know you're a lot more fun when you relax?" With that, she left making him grin and chuckle a little.

"I bet I am, bet I am." He said shaking his head, and quickly putting on his shorts.

After doing some stretches to loosen up his sore body he went to go find the bathroom. Lucky for him he seemed to be a fast learner though as he figured out how to use a bathroom designed for a pony. Once he managed to find one he quickly went and checked himself over in the mirror, and thought he didn't look bad for someone who had been flat out drunk.

"Oh, there you are you, young whippersnapper! What do ya want for lunch?" He turned after walking down the stairs to see an olden pony looking at him.

"What you making, if you don't mind me asking?" He asked a bit surprised that the old pony wasn't freaking out at the sight of him. But he guessed that there might be even stranger creatures here than him, so he didn't put much thought into it.

"Well I'm making some sandwiches for lunch, so what kind do you want?" The old pony asked smiling.

"Let me think." He put his hand up to his chin in thought. "I think a PB and j would be fine miss." Giving her a kind smile in return.

"You can call me Granny Smith." Granny Smith said before returning to the kitchen.

"Do you need any help? I would feel bad after I stayed over without permission and then having you make lunch for me." He called walking toward the kitchen himself.

"It's alright sunny, you're a house guess after all," Granny answered as he got to the door.

"It won't be a problem like I said I would feel bad after staying here last night and then not at least try and be a good house guess. That and I don't want to be a burden on you." He said.

"It's fine, a friend of my granddaughter is more than welcome to stay over. I guess if ya really want to help then I can't stop ya." Granny Smith said turning slowly towards him.

After making two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for himself, and helping Granny Smith make some more sandwiches for her family they went and set up the table. He found it a little easier and faster if he did it, though he knew that she would have been faster he knew she had slowed down in her age. But that didn't stop her from protesting a little bit after he told her once again he felt he had to for letting him stay here and for lunch.

"Hey, Granny is lunch ready yet?" A voice came from outside, though he didn't recognize it.

"Yeah it's ready, tell your sister and brother to come on back Applebloom. Oh and also tell your sister that her guess is down." Granny Smith called out, and when she looked at him she saw an expression of confusion. "As you might of guess Applebloom is Applejack's younger sister, and I had Applejack go out to make sure Big Mac is working."

"So I take it that's their brother?" He asked.

"Yep, older brother at that." Granny Smith said right before the door busted open with a small yellow pony ran forward.

She did look like Applejack a little but she had a red mane and tail, and she had gamboge colored eyes. Though he didn't even know that he knew that word, or it had anything to do with color. But upon seeing him she stopped for a second with curious eyes.

"Well hello, you must be Applebloom?" He asked with a smile.

"Yeah, but who or what are you?" Applebloom asked.

"Straight to the point huh? Guess it's like that about any child in any world." He said under his breath. "Well I'm what's called a human, and my name is Brandon Jenkins, but you can just call me Brandon."

"Oh, well nice to meet ya. Which sandwich is mine?" The little filly looked at the table.

"Those one's right over there." Granny Smith pointing to a seat across the table they were standing from, and Applebloom zipped over to her seat.

Right after taking her seat and him taking a seat for himself as well as Granny Smith, they talked for a minute waiting for the two older siblings. They asked questions which he knew that they would ask and answered them trying to get a little more comfortable. Which he was starting to until a big red stallion walked through the door, and he looked pretty intimidating in physical statues but he released an aura of a silent and calm.

"You must be Big Mac?" He asked swallowing a little.

"Eeyup." Was all the response he got before the red stallion took his place, and then he heard another pony enter.

"I hope my family isn't causing to much trouble." Applejack said sitting down next to him, though he had to sit a bit differently. Since he didn't like going Indian style, didn't know where that phrase came from, and it would make him to short for the table if he sat on his knees. Though he had a pillow underneath so he wasn't that uncomfortable.

"Nah, they were just mostly asking me stuff I figured they ask." He said turning to look at her and smiled.

"So what are ya gonna do today Brandon?" Applebloom asked.

"Well I was thinking about looking around the town to get a little more comfortable, and then get back to the library to start on some paperwork." He answered.

"So where ya stay'n then?" Granny Smith asked.

"I'm staying at the library in a matter of fact. At least that's the arrangement until I learned more about this world, and save up until I have enough to live on my own." He answered.

"Ahh, well if ya ever need a place to stay the night again you're more than welcome here." Granny Smith told him with a smile.

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." He replied with his own smile.

"I know my granddaughter over there next to ya would like that too," Granny said with a wink.

"Granny! That's enough of that how about we eat before we starve." Applejack said.

But before she could hide it he saw that she had turned a little red, and both he and Granny Smith gave a slight chuckle. They quickly ate their lunch and he helped wash the dishes, to more protest from the old pony. Though he ignored them this time.

"So Applejack, you wouldn't want me to stay over again sometime then?" He asked teasingly.

"What, of course, ya could stay the night any time ya want. Let's get these darn things washed I have to get back to work." She said looking away from him a little.

"Well if you have to get back to work then I'll just finish washing these then. Which speaking of work when do I start?" He asked and he saw a glimmer of gratitude in her eyes for not teasing her more.

"I was thinking in about a week, that way you have time to get to know your way around town and meet others. Oh yeah, I just remembered, if you're going to look around town today Lyra wanted me to tell you to stop by her place for a minute." She said.

"And where does she live?" He asked.

"You can't miss it, it's called Bon Bons Sweet Shop, she lives on the second floor." She replied.

"Okay, so who's Bon Bon then?" He asked looking at her.

"She's Lyra's marefriend and owner of that shop. Don't worry though she's pretty nice, that and since you're already friends with Lyra that should make it easier." She gave him a smile and snapped her attention back to the dishes.

"Well, I guess I should keep an eye out then." He said, but a thought crossed his mind. "If they live in what I think is a candy shop, then I wish I had some money just in case I wanted something sweet. And that's good to know she has a girlfriend if I remember that sort of relationship in my world was starting to get more accepted." He said just remembering something about it.

"Yep, it's good to hear ya remembered something else. As for the money just hold on a moment." She said then going into the other room and when she came back she was carrying a brown bag on her back. "Twilight stopped by earlier and told me that the princess left ya some money to get ya started."

"She didn't have to do that, though I didn't want to feel like a freeloader or anything. But still, I should thank her again for this. How much did she send?" He asked.

"Twilight said there should be at least two hundred bits, I suggest stopping by the bank before anywhere else and opening an account. Even if you aren't a citizen yet you should be able to, and here's a map of the town just in case." She said and he took both the bag and map off her back.

"Two hundred bits huh? Is that allot here?" He asked.

"It's quite a bit yes. Well, I guess ya should get going, I'll see ya later alright?" He nodded and she walked out with the dishes finished, going back to work.

He decided to take her advice and stopped by the Ponyville Bank and quickly opened his account. He made sure that he had about thirty bits in his pockets, which the bank teller actually suggested and he continued looking around the town. Passing some houses and then going through a street market, which he was glad he didn't feel like he was being stared at or judged for being different, and he then decided to open up the map and try to find the shop Applejack said Lyra and her, as she put it, marefriend lived.

"Let's see if I just passed the open market, then that must mean I'm right about there. So if I take a right about a block down, then take a left then that should lead me straight to the shop." He said to himself and after putting the map up he started to make his way.

He guessed that it would be a good ten-minute walk but that just gave him time to look at everything along the way. The buildings definitely reminded him of medieval time, but they still seemed to have some technology. He passed by a shop selling what looked like turntables, which surprised him, the shop right next to it sold record players which he expected a little. As he walked and looked at just about everything he finally reached his destination and went inside.

"Hello and welcome to Bon Bon's Sweet Shop, I'm Bon Bon how may I help you?" A mare at the front counter said she had what looked like a cream colored coat.

Her mane had and tail had a streak of what he could tell was purple, with a pink tint to it. But most of it was a dark blue, and it wasn't until she looked up from what she was doing to see she had blue eyes. When she looked at him her jaw dropped in absolute shock.

"N-no way." She whispered. "She was right they do exist." He gave her a curious look. "Lyra can you come out here please?" At that he gave a slight chuckle realizing that she probably didn't believe Lyra that humans existed, she told him about her though he didn't realize himself that she was her marefriend until Applejack said something.

"Yes, sweetie? Do you need any hel..." When Lyra walked out of the kitchen, at least he thought it was the kitchen, her jaw slightly dropped but then she quickly smiled. "Hey, Brandon looks like you recovered well. Bon Bon this is who I was talking about, now it looks like you owe me two days off and extra cuddle time." She said making Bon Bon go red, and he just laughed.

"Yeah hey, I was just exploring the town a bit to get a feel for it. Applejack told me to stop by, and I thought since this sounded like a candy shop I might as well have a look." He said, this snapped Bon Bon out of her glare at Lyra and she smiled.

"Oh, so you're here to shop then? Do you have any money if I may ask?" Bon Bon looked at him.

"Yep, got a little bit of spending money. So what do you have?" He asked looking at the display cases and saw that they had a whole variety of sweets that he didn't expect. "Are these all hand... I mean hoof made?"

"Yes, I make all my own sweets. I make anything from simple chocolate to tarts.' Bon Bon said proudly.

"Mmm, how much would a dozen of those chocolate covered cherries cost?" He asked.

"Well normally I would charge about eight bits for a dozen, but for you, I guess I can drop the price down to five." Bon Bon said looking at Lyra.

"Well thank you very much, and I promise next time I will pay you the full amount." He replied, and while she was busy getting his order ready he looked at Lyra. "So she's your marefriend huh? She looks pretty." Making Lyra blush and he just gave another chuckle.

"Thank you for the compliment and yes we are marefriends. Do you have a special somepony?" Bon Bon said placing a box on the counter, and it took him a minute to guess what she meant.

"Bon Bon, I told you last night that he lost his memory," Lyra said.

"Oh, right I'm sorry." Bon Bon said looking at him.

"It's alright, but I don't think I had a relationship though. Is that my order?" He asked changing the subject.

"Yes, it is." Bon Bon answered, and handing her five of the coins that he had. "Thanks, Lyra why don't you talk to your friend I'm sure I can handle the rest of the day by myself."

"Thanks, Bons." Lyra said, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

"Oh and Lyra I'm looking forward to the extra cuddling tonight." This made Lyra blush which sent both him and Bon Bon into a small fit of laughter.

----

"So if I remember correctly you said that you were going to be living with Twilight until you got the hang of things and got some money saved up right?" Lyra asked after they found a bench to sit on.

"Yeah, that's right. Though the princess sent me some money to start out with." He replied.

"Well, that would certainly explain how you were able to pay for those cherries," Lyra said levitating one out of the box and eating it.

"So can all unicorns use telekinesis?" He asked curiosity in his voice.

"Yeah, it's the most basic spell that any unicorn can learn. Though it takes time and practice to get it down though." She said after swallowing.

"Cool, just wish I could do magic even if I could only do one spell." He said.

"Hey now, just because you're not from this world doesn't mean you can't do magic. From what you told me at one point humans could do magic, and from what I've learned every creature has magic. Though some call that magic natural ability's though." She said giving him a serious look. "So I'm sure you have magic."

"Maybe, but I'm not so sure. So anyway could you stop stealing my snack, you already ate half the box." He said, and when she looked down she saw he was right and blushed a little.

"Sorry, it's just Bon Bon makes the best candy that I've ever tasted. Once you start it's hard to stop." Lyra said.

"Well, then I guess if you can't help yourself for wanting her cherry and all." He gave her a big grin, and then busted out laughing as her face had complete shock on it with what he could tell was a deep blush. "I'm sorry...that was to easy though." Saying in between laughter.

"Oh shut up." She said with a smile.

"But seriously though if you want more of these go ahead, I already had a decent lunch today." He said after he calmed down.

"Thanks, it's good to see that you're adjusting here well enough to make that kind of joke." She smiled taking the box away from him.

"Hey, it was worth it to see the look on your face, though I will say that I surprised myself by making that joke. I mean we only met last night and it already feels like we've been longtime friends." He said laying back.

"It does? Wow didn't realize you were so desperate for friends." She said tossing another chocolate cherry into her mouth.

"Well yeah I guess I am a little desperate for friends, I mean waking up in a strange new world without any memory about who you are." His eyes took on a heavy sadness.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. I didn't mean to make you upset or anything." She said looking at him with concern.

"Don't worry about it, I'm fine I know what you meant. I was just thinking if I did have special, as you all put it, somepony back on my world. If so who are they? Do they know I'm gone? Are they trying to look for me? And what about any family I have?" He was cut off when he felt something wrap around him, and when he looked Lyra was giving him a comforting hug.

"Now you listen to me if you do have a special somepony they are looking for you if they know you're gone. If not then forget about them for if they don't love you enough to look for you after you disappear then that means that they never cared for you, and as for your family I'm sure they miss you very much and would do anything to get you back. Until then you got some good friends here to wait with you until they find you okay? Never forget that." Lyra looked him straight into his eyes.

"Thanks, and I'm sure by now I've heard that speech a hundred times. But thank you for being a friend even if I'm not of this world." He said returning her embrace, then after about a minute, they broke.

"You are welcome, and hey just know I wouldn't care if you were some kind of monster as long as you're a nice monster I would always be your friend." She said, and he nodded taking a cherry and placing it in his mouth and his taste buds exploded with the flavor. "See I told you they were good." Lyra giggled seeing his expression.

"Yeah you did, and before I head back to the library tell Bon Bon she just earned herself a regular, though I may gain some weight." He said smiling, she just giggled a little. "Oh hey, that reminds me, if you play the lyre I would like to hear you play some time."

"Oh you can, that's what I normally do at the shop. I was just keeping an eye on some fresh treats that Bon Bon was making. So you can come at any time, and I'll tell her. See ya." She called as she galloped off.

"See ya!" He called back, and he started his way back to the library.

Author's Notes:

Had some free time so decided to go ahead with writing this chapter. And before any of you ask, why would i forget Bon Bon. Hope you all enjoyed.Oh yeah if you're wondering about the height differences in this story, I pictured them to be a little shorter on their hind legs. So when standing on their hind legs I say about a four inch difference for the average sized pony, so whatever that equals out when their on all fours.
