It seemed like an eternity in the stuffy and humid barn the burning sweat ran off my face. And because my hands were tied behind me on a solid wood beam i couldnt stop it from stinging my eyes. I tilt my head to gain some relief from the burning water my head was releasing.

The door creaked again and this time it was the two from before along with five other ones all in bright spectrum of color that ive only seen in rare tropical birds and insects. They were all bickering amongst each other and stopped feet away from me amd fell silent. A lavender and pink one steps closer and i stare her down not knowing her next move.

She turns back and asks the others. ' So this is what you found by that fallen star?' Fallen star what? what was she talking about? I turn my attention back to them when the orange one replied. Yessir Twilight it was trying to crawl away when we caught it last night we could see the flash for miles and it landed in the southern field. Indeed the one known as twilight replies.

The others started talking and rambling on all the while shooting there eyes back at me on occasion. A white one with a horn and purple hair examined me closer them the rest looking at the strange device on my forearm. Whatever it is it clearly came from a place with exotic tastes ive never seen jewelry like that before.

The others followed suit surrounding me like wolves. Maybe we should untie him and see if hes dangerous? asked the all pink one. A cyan colored one shot back at her Pinkie have you lost it? She puts her head down and mopes when the smallest one with a butter yellow coat and electric pink mane spoke up finally in a very soft voice. And said it wasnt a bad idea after all and  it was wrong to keep me tied up. They talked awhile longer and made the decision to turn me loose.

The orange one falls out of my sight and i feel the rope around my arms come undone. I slowly pull my arms back to there original position and begin stretching my aching joints. Not trying to make any sudden movements i slowly work my legs and stand up.

They all had there eyes one me while i stretched out. The pink blurts out 'My its tall and it walks on two legs. the average height was only 3 and a half feet on the biggest one i seen so far. Twilight asked the orange one with concern. 'Applejack can you keep watch over it while i make an appointment for Celestia to figure out what it is?

Applejack glares coldly at me and replies ' No way Jose that thing scares the crap out of me.' A tiny voice pops out ' I could watch over Him or Her for awhile'. We all turned towards the small yellow one. Twilight asks her if she thought that would be a good idea. And she shuffles her front feet looking down at the ground. She looks back at them and replies ' Yes im sure it will be no trouble at all.'

Twilight nods her head and asks her to just be careful. I wanted to object but i figured i would just keep my mouth shut. I figured i would just wait until they went to sleep and just disappear in the woods. I stand by the door and look out at the landscape and sky. It seemed picturesque almost artificial. When i feel a nudge at my side that caused me to jump almost out of my skin and slam into a wall knocking me to the ground.

I shoot back up and stare down the yellow creature that was backing up slowly towards the others. I wanted to break its neck but i refrained and calmed down. 'I dont think it likes you Fluttershy. spoofed the cyan rainbow maned one. They had such ridiculous names for each other now that i knew most of them. They all volunteered to walk with her back to her house and make sure things were ok.

They all walk out and i follow slowly as they seemed to want to box me in like they were going to stomp me out. I just walk on quietly almost admiring the trail that teemed with life not the concrete jungle i went to sleep in. After a short hike we make it a giant tree structure that had a house built in it.

I just stop and stare awkwardly at it the others pass me up and gather around the door. The white one pleads with Fluttershy to stay at the house  and keep her company just in case. She smiles and thanks her and said she would love to have her stay. All the others said there goodbyes and began the walk back were ever they came from leaving me alone with Fluttershy and the white one i had yet to learn her name.

They enter the house and i follow with my head on a swivel scanning the inside. It had a rustic feeling all wood and metal like the houses i had seen in westerns growing up. the yellow one makes her way into another room while the white one took a seat in the living area. I just continue pacing and finally take a seat next to the white one. I could tell she was uneasy so i just lean back a little and saw that she had a insect on her back.

She goes crazy when she feels it on her neck and like pulling a tick off a dog i grab her up gently and pull it off her. She looks at me and the small bug still wiggling in my fingers. In her charming voice she thanks me and i get up and toss the bug out the window. Fluttershy walks in a moment later and asks Rarity which i knew her name now if we were ready for dinner. She nods and motions for me to follow. I hesitate for a moment and wondered if i was dinner.
