"Oh, what's up Luna?" Standing in the doorway is Luna, with two guards by her side. She looks sleepy, but only slightly.

"Hello Miles, may I come in?" I step aside and let her and the two guards in, shutting the door behind them. Luna looks at Twilight and Storm before turning back to me. "Miles, we need to discuss what happened earlier today."

"Damn, news travels fast here doesn't it? Alright, discuss away." I say as I walk back to my bed and lay back on it.
"Well, there are two things that concern me that I wish to know about; how did you escape the library, and about you defeating a bull with your bare hands."

"Okay."

"Okay..."

"..."

"Miles?"

"Oh, you mean right now." I think I heard Twilight facepa—er—hoof.

"Well now would be best, seeing how we're all here right this instant." Luna says as she rolls her eyes.

"Alright, well it went basically like this..." I go over the events of earlier, my walking out of the library, the fight, Twilight fixing me, and me waking up in here. I can tell Luna is trying her hardest to stay awake during all of this, but I'm not sure if she can last much longer. "And then you came in and then it's now, and then I don't know."

"That doesn't tell me how you escaped," Luna says.

"Oh, well that's easy. You messed up the spelMMMMM." Twilight quickly covers my mouth with her hoof, shutting me up instantly.

"What he means Princess, is that there may have been a small problem with your barrier," Twilight says, giving me a sharp look.

"Hmm... where could I have gone wrong?" Luna says to herself.

I pull Twilight's hoof from my mouth and say, "That's easy, you didn't compensate for opened doors." Everyone, except Luna, looks horrified by my statement. What? It's as if they wouldn't ever call her out on something like this.

Luna looks to me and ask, “What do you mean by that?"

"Well, you set the barrier to go around the exterior of the building, but you didn't think about the dual doors on the balcony. With them open, it made an opening that I could get through. But I only speculate. The quick fix would to set a second barrier for the balcony."

Luna looks out the window and thinks to herself for a moment. Twilight gives me a quick jab in the side and gives me a look.

"Very well then. Now to my next concern, the bull-"

"If I were to remember correctly, our agreement was that I wouldn't hurt anypony. Unless that bull is some freaky pony I don't know about, I should be in the clear."

"Alright, I'll pardon the bull incident if you promise not to harm any others from now on."

"Sorry, can't do that," I answer quickly.

"Okay, now - wait what!?" Now everyone is looking at me with shocked looks. I think this woke Luna up completely. "Do you want to run that by me one more time?"

"I can't promise that I won't harm others because that's impossible to promise. If the town was attacked again tomorrow by the cows and bulls, I would do the same exact thing as last time. It's in my nature to protect others, and sometimes that means harming some to protect them. I can promise that I will try and solve things before they turn to violence, but I will not become a pacifist." Again, everyone except Luna is looking with the same shocked look; wide eyed with the mouth slightly open. Luna just looks tired.

"Can everypony give me a moment alone with Miles? I wish to speak to him in private." Without a word being spoken, everyone walks out of the room. Once the door was shut, Luna let out a long sigh and walked over to the window.

"Are you alright, you seem tired?" I ask as I sit up.

"I'm fine. Normally right now I would be asleep," she says as she stares out the window.

"Really, but it's so bright out."

"Yeah, I know. The night is scary and day time is bright and fun. I've heard it before." Where did that come from?

"I didn't say that, I just-"

"You may not have said it, but you were thinking it. Everypony thinks it-"

"I'm not a pony." Luna looks back to me with slightly wider eyes. I think her being tired is making her say things she would normally not say. "To be honest, the night was way more beautiful than the day. I like the warmth of day, but the coolness of night also reminds me of home. Not to mention that moon was something different."

"What do you mean?" She says, taking a step forward.

"Well... I'm not sure how to put it. It gave me hope, yet gave off an ominous feel over the land."

"Hm... yeah, that was the feel I was trying to make," she says as she looks away for a moment.

"What?"

"My special talent is controlling the moon and night sky," she says as she looks back to me.

"Your... special talent?" She turns to the side and shows me her mark. After a few seconds of staring at it, as well as the area around it, I quickly look away and try to hide the growing embarrassment from my pants.

"Yeah, when a pony finds out what makes them special, they receive their cutie mark. Mine is the moon in the night sky."
"Ahem… Well, that's nice. Humans don't have that," I say as I adjust my sitting arrangement.

"Humans don't have cutie marks, but what about that one mark on your arm?" she asks as she points to my tattoo.

"This, oh, this is a tattoo. Someone took a needle and basically stabbed me thousands of times with ink, leaving the picture." She walks over and takes a better look at it.

"What does it mean?"

"Oh, something along the lines of how being a Spartan meant that our lives were for the people we protected, and not even in death could we ever allow something bad to happen."

"So you fight to protect, never in aggression?"

"Basically, if we had to, we could be the aggressors, but we haven't attacked in hundreds of years. Well, thousands now." Well that was depressing. Luna looks away and thinks to herself for a bit. She looks back to me with a more relaxed look.

"Miles, I have decided that you are not a threat. I will continue to hold onto your weapons for a while longer, but you are free to leave the library." Wow, really? That didn't take long.

"Thank you Luna," I say with a slight bow. She begins to walk towards the door but stops halfway.

"Do you know anything about astronomy?"

"What's astronomy?"

"Didn't think so, try asking Twilight about it tonight. I think you may enjoy it." I give a quick nod as she continues toward the door.

"Hey!" I call out before she opens the door. "Take it easy on Storm Cloud. I mean, how could he have known there was a flaw in your barrier?" She looks back to me and offers a small smile before leaving. Once she leaves the room I lay back and start pulling on my hair. How is it I could walk through a crowd of human women wearing provocative clothing and remain flaccid, but a single pony shows me her backside and I nearly lose it? I rub my face with both hands before I stand up and head to the door. Before I could reach it, it swings open to reveal Twilight and Storm Cloud.

"Miles! Princess Luna told us the good news." Twilight says as she looks up to me with a big smile.

"Yeah, that was - *grumble* - hahaha well look at that. I am starving," I say as I put a hand on my stomach.

"I've got an idea; let me treat you to some food at Sugarcube Corner. It'll be my way of saying thanks for saving Ponyville," Twilight says with a smile.

"Well, as long as it doesn't have any of that grass stuff, I'm in." With that I follow her out of the hospital, getting weird looks from doctors and patients.

When we leave the hospital, I take a moment to take in my surroundings. The hospital is located at the bottom of the town. I can see the center round building off in the distance, with Twilight's library a bit behind it. We begin to walk down the dirt road when I see Luna's carriage fly off towards the distant mountain. I think we made eye contact, but if we did it only lasted for a second. We begin to walk towards the town when a thought comes to mind.

"Hey Twilight, how does your town deal with new people?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, if I were to walk into town, how would they act? There were parts of Topaz I couldn't bring Dolum into because of the way they dealt with black people. How are ponies going to act with a human waltzing right into town?" Twilight thinks about it for a second then shakes her head.

"Well, they might have run in fear a while back, but with you saving the town, I think they'll give..."

"The horror! The horror! Run for your lives! It's the bull slayer!" yells someone from inside the town; I didn't realize it till just now, but we had walked into town and every pony had run indoors at the sight of me.

"You were saying?" asked Storm, only to get a dirty look from Twilight.

"Okay, two things: One, your town is weird, and two, something happened between the two of you and I won't stop asking until you tell me." Twilight looks really agitated, while Storm is trying to look anywhere but me or Twilight.

"*sigh* Well, basically I..." Storm began, only to stop when Twilight gave him another look. As I walk, I look between the two and try to put one and one together. Twilight is mad at Storm, she apparently smacked him and he looks like he feels bad about it. Hmmm... light bulb.

"So I take it wasn't a very good kiss." Storm trips over his own hooves and falls straight on his face while Twilight freezes up and turns bright red. Yeah, I'm fucking good at this game.

"How in the hay did you figure it out?" Storm grumbles from the floor.

"Well, let’s just say I've seen this play a couple of times. So, was it really that bad?" I pester.

"Oh look, Sugarcube Corner! Let's go because I'm starving and I would like something to eat and they have delicious treats there that aren't embarrassing." Twilight says as she runs off to some building. I look over to Storm and before I can say anything he flies straight for the same building. Whatever, I'll tease them some more later. I walk up to the building and stop in front of it. This is the weirdest building I've ever seen. It looks to be two stories tall with two smaller round rooms stacked on top. The roof seems to be all brown with loops of white tracing the edges. The building is adorned with various bright and colorful decorations, and gives the feeling of being delicious. Strange, I didn't know a building could be delicious. I walk through the front door and immediately fall on my ass when Pinkie Pie jumps onto me.

"Oh my gosh Miles you made me so happy and now we can have a ton of fun playing games and dancing and eating tasty treats and..."

"Whoa, slow down Pinkie Pie, what are you talking about?"

"Twilight and Storm Cloud told me you wanted to have a THANK YOU FOR SAVING THE TOWN AND CONGRATS FOR GETTING BETTER PARTY!" Did she say party? I look over and see Twilight standing by, watching with an evil smile on her face. I immediately try to back out of the room but stop when I bump into something. I look back to see Storm standing over me with a similar evil look.

"So Miles, you ready for your party?" My heart begins to race as I look around the room. There are a good number of ponies in here, and the place does look like it's about to throw a party. Shit.

"Nononononono no party please. Look I'm sorry for making fun of what happened, but please no party." My heart is racing even faster now, plus I'm starting to sweat a little. Oh, please don't throw me a party; I just got out of the hospital. With a satisfied smile Twilight nods to Pinkie, who in turn bounces off me.

"Oh don't worry silly, there's no party. I would never throw a party if it would make somepony sad, because parties are supposed to be fun and make you smile and if you didn't smile then that would make me frown and I hate frowning." I sigh in relief and stand back up, trying to compose myself. Twilight walks over to a nearby table and sits down. I walk over and take one of the remaining seats, which is awkward because it's a little too short for me.

The room we're in is fairly spacious, providing room for several tables and seats with a good amount of room to move around freely. At the end of the room is a small display counter, showing various treats I recognized from the party from earlier...whoa, just got chills. To my left are stairs that go to the upper floors, and further down the wall are some swinging doors that go to the back. There were several patrons inside but the minute I sat down they all left, watching me closely.

"Well don't I feel welcomed." I say as I watch the last pony run out of the room.

"Just give them some time to adjust to you. My friend Zecora had to go through the same thing, being a zebra and all. Once you actually talk to them and show that you’re a nice guy, they'll calm down." Twilight says this as she levitates a menu in front of her. I look down at the menu and see it's in that hieroglyphic text that I can't read. There are a few with pictures, but with no prices I assume those are the expensive treats. "So I'm ready, do you know what you want Miles?"

"Well, I'll just get what you’re getting." I say as I set the menu down.

"What, nothing looks good to you?" asks Storm.

"I can't read pony text so I don't know what there is to order."

"You can't read? Did humans have writing or was it just different?" asks Twilight.

"It was different, which sucks because I actually really enjoyed reading." Twilight seems to brighten up from hearing this.
"Oh, I love to read too! What kind of books did you like to read? I personally enjoy pre-Nightmare gothics. They’re a little difficult to read because of the early language development but I like it all the same...." As she continues to ramble I lean over to Storm Cloud.

"Does she do this a lot?"

"I don't know; hopefully not." I lean back and resume listening.

".... but seriously who could top Star Swirl’s mad rambles, right?"

"Absolutely." Twilight looks between the two of us and drops her head to the table.

"I got carried away, didn't I?"

"Just a little," Storm says.

"Yeah, but to answer your question, I like to read on early human aeronautical and space exploration."

"Humans could fly?" Storm asks.

"Humans explored space?" Twilight ask at the same time.

"Did they bring lots of tasty treats?" Pinkie Pie asks us from the previously empty seat, setting down a tray with four plates of treats. When did she take our order? And for that matter, when did she take that seat?

"Well yeah they brought food, kind of need to for decade long journeys." This only furthers Twilight's and Storm's astonishment. I look down to the four plates and take a random one, seeing as they all had the same contents, they were brown disks that have dark brown spots. I pick one up and look it over. I take a bite and begin to chew. Not half bad. It's sweet, not as sweet as those pancakes but still a good amount. It seemed to crumble at first but after a few chews it becomes mushy.

"Well? Do you like it?" Pinkie asks.

"Yeah, it's pretty good. What is it?" I ask, as I fit the rest into my mouth and chew away.

"It's a chocolate chip cookie!" she says as she slams her face into her plate. When she picks her head up she seems to be fine, chewing loudly with crumbs all over her face. I swallow and lean back to Storm.

"Was that normal?"

"I have a strange feeling it is," he says as we both stare at her.I finish up my plate and sit back. I'm going to have to come back and get these again. Or see if they sell those pancakes Twilight made. I wonder if you could combine the two.

"So what's next for today?" I ask.

"Well, we probably have time to visit one of my friend’s places, would you like to do that?"

"Hmm... alright, seems like fun. Where to?" Twilight thinks about it for a second then comes up with an idea.

"You said you normally wear clothes, right?"

"Yeah… Why?"

"We'll visit Rarity. She’s a fashion designer, and if you ask nicely she may make you a shirt."

"Well, I like the idea of not being half naked. Alright, lead the way," I say as we all stand up.

"Wanna come with us Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asks.

"Nah, I'll give the two of you some alone time," She says as she trots happily to the back of the room.

"I don't like him like that!" Twilight yells back.

"What was that all about?" I ask, only to get ignored as Twilight storms out of the room.

"What was that about?" I ask Storm.

"You don't want to know."

I want to give a shout out to Sine Wave. He was the next person to use the Brony Points, and used them to pick the first destination to visit in Ponyville. Thanks for all the support and I'll see ya next time.
