I knew that just barging in wasn't such a great idea and rude. So I just turned around and was making my way back to my cabin. I get halfway and a short creeking noise stopped me cold. I turn around and see her peeking through the door. I introduced myself and she gives me her name as "Octavia Philharmonica" She then asks me what I was doing knocking on her door. I told her in a shyish tone " Never mind it was something silly anyway."

She pushes the door open all the way and says in a charming tone. " Nonsense I always make time for my fans even if they aren't ponies." She then invites me in her cabin. I look around at the living room sized space. There were quills and scrolls laying all over in a chaotic mess even piled up on her bed.

She pours a drink for herself and me and asks me to take a seat. I move around some papers and reveal the cushion of the seat. She didn't seem to distressed about an 6 foot 2 inch alien in her room. I raise the glass up to my nose and took a large swallow. I was expecting it to be water. It tasted like cheap Everclear  it burned all the way down my throat and left me with a warm flushed feeling.

She asked what I was and through a few coughs and gags I explain to her that I am human and got lost in their world. I pick up a piece of paper and look it over. It was a blank sheet of music paper similar to what I would find in a book.

She lowers her head and mutters lowly. " Aww it seems you found my music sheets their empty because I have nothing to write. " I grab a quill and begin writing. I wasn't able to conduct symphonies yet but knew the fundamentals . I finish it up in a few seconds and handed it to her.

She laughs hardily and takes the scribbled paper and puts it up to her face. It was Still I Rise by Shadows Fall. She studied it like she was reading Beethovens first piece of music.

"This is amazing!!" She exclaimed " Where did you learn such a talent? I laugh and said with cockiness. " It was a common song on my world and now it can be learned here."

Her face was seven shades of red and she leaped off her chair and made her way across the room with the paper. She puts it in a case and turns back to me. Her purple eyes gleamed with excitement and she asks slowly. " If your not busy maybe you could help me STUDY?"

I understood exactly what she meant after the hint and froze solid. What is with these creatures why do they always try this are they stupid? I feel her brush up against my leg and I jump up. " She looks puzzled and asks seductively. " Whats the matter don't you like me ?" I assure her its not her fault and try my best to force my way out of her cabin.

I get to the door and pull the handle. It was locked so I slammed my body through her door. She was shocked by my rarely seen temper and did not attempt pursuit. I walk back quietly to my cabin to everyone sleeping soundly in a dimly lit room.

I tried not to make much noise and made it to my bed when I stumped my toe. I screamed obscenities and curses at the seemingly awful  incident. I slam down at my pillow to muffle my screaming. I put the rest of my body on the bed to relax . I look around the  cabin to Fluttershy's bed to see it empty. I was worried because she was a timid little thing and wasn't too partial to the dark.

I wonder were she could have gone. The train wasn't massive but would take a long time to go room to room. I lay and wondered why I should even care. She hates me now she wants nothing to do with me.

My curiosity gets the better of me and I decided the best course is to search top to bottom. Nopony else was out of place and completely out of it. I start my search at the front car by the engineer cabin and worked my way back.

I couldn't just break into rooms with shock and awe and decided to give it up after my initial search of all the common areas. I get back to our car and lay my head down. Tonight was particularly beautiful it seemed as if every anomaly known to man was just an ordinary night to them.    

I couldn't sleep and decided after awhile to get fresh air out on the railing to clear my head. I get up once more and thorough the cargo hold. When I step outside I see a figure that wasnt in my memory the last time I was out there.
