It was dark when i was awoke by an enormous bolt of lightning striking the ground and shaking the small house lightly. I heard a thud from upstairs and just rolled over to cover my eyes. A second bolt ripped through the sky and shook the ground even harder. This time i hear a whimper followed by another loud thud. I sit up and look around besides a lantern on the staircase the room was pitch black.

I look for my host not seeing her anywhere i decide to look for her. I walk up the steps trying to gain attention from whatever was making the noise i heard earlier. I see nothing in the hallway and walk down until i reach the two doors. I didnt see or hear anything and was walking back to the staircase.

When a blinding flash followed by a sickening crack filled the small corridor. I heard that faint whimper again. It was coming from the room to the right. I walk back and put my ear up to the door and listen. I could hear it even better now and carefully i push open the door and poke my head in.

It looked like a small bedroom fit for a midget. A small light was the only light but lit up the entire space. I look around for Fluttershy to find nothing at first and began to search the room. I am startled by a figure beside the bed hidden from the light. I put my mind at ease when i realized it was her balled up on the floor shaking. She didnt see me yet and kept saying over and over. 'Please make it stop please!'.

I call her name and she turned to me with terror in her giant eyes.' Dax are you okay!' she squeals out. I told her not to worry about me and asked what was the matter. She lowers her head to the ground and speaking as if she was whispering she barely made out. ' Its nothing.'

I wasnt really convinced that it was nothing and asked again to make sure. She then squeals out so fast ' Lightning scares me!' but i could clearly make out what she said. I sit down and placed myself closer to her. She cuddles up to me and i stroke the back of her neck. She surprises me when a bolt crashed down and she latched on to my chest with almost superhuman strength.

I just suck it up and picked her body off the floor. With her firmly stuck to me i try to pry her off me and place her back on the bed. She wouldnt let go and i was just exhausting my self trying. So i just lay on my back on the soft bed with her covering my entire upper torso.

I lay with her still stroking her head and neck. Her fur was even softer than Rarity's  as i felt its warmth and texture on my bare skin. I could feel her tail and mane tickling my skin all over whenever i made the slightest movement. I pass out moments later with my warm friend snoozing still latched on to me like i was a stuffed animal. The next morning Twilight wakes with her face in a pile of books.

She has been working overtime to get to the bottom of my arrival on this world. Even her expansive library had shed no light on the incident. The only one who might know was her mentor and supreme leader of Equstria Celestia. She had sent word two days ago and hasnt heard back since. She was starting to grow impatient about her masters lack of concern and decided to head for the cottage where i was residing at.

I wake up in the bed with my friend still in the same position she was. I watch her chest rise and fall in a steady rhythm. Her tail was flailing like crazy tickling me until i moved my leg and her eyes slowly open and she starts crying' Im so sorry Dax i didnt mean to be such a pest last night. I just get scared sometimes. Im so embarrassed can you forgive me?' I wrap my arms around her tiny body and tried my best to comfort her.

She looks at me confused and whispers. 'So your not mad at me?' I Smile and stroked her ear 'Of course not everyone gets scared from time to time. We exchange stares for awhile and she snaps out of it and lifts herself off me. She jumps of the bed and with her face blood red excuses herself to the bathroom. I lay and relax now that her weight was off my chest.

I look down at my feet and i noticed something wet near my belly button i touch it with my fingers and it felt like undried glue but looked  milky. I shot off the bed and stormed down the steps and blew through the front door. I get to the creek and splash the freezing cold water on me trying to scrub off the foreign substance off me. I spot Twilight coming towards the house. She stops at the sight of me and said to herself. Wow it has skin.

She wasnt aware that i could talk and almost had a panic attack when i told her ' Hello'. She asks if Fluttershy is around and i lead her inside. I tell her she is upstairs and she walks up the steps and i hear her call out followed by a door opening. Trying not to repeat yesterday i just sit quietly as i heard the muffled conversation above me. The door creaks open after five minutes and just Twilight walked down the steps.

She walks up to me and asks ' Hey do you mind coming with me to town so i can show you around?. I had intended to go alone but i would need a guide to help me around. Besides i needed to start somewhere with the questioning so i may as well go with her. I smile and nod my head and get in my clothes.

I walk beside her as she lead the way i didnt see Fluttershy anywhere and curious i ask Twilight about her. She giggles and trots along. I ask whats so funny and with a serious look on her lavender face says with authority ' Ok but you cant tell her anything she would be so embarrassed if she knew  i told you can you do that?' With impatience i nod my head and she tells me in fine detail this big secret and why she wasnt joining us. '

She's started her first heat cycle most females start them at very young ages meaning they are ready to produce offspring. But Fluttershy never had to deal with it until today and it must be terrifying to her.' I was worried about her and felt bad leaving her alone.

My thoughts faded when i saw the outskirts of the town most ponies called home. It looked smaller than what i thought it would be with all the inhabitants walking about their business. The general populace wanted nothing to do me as i try my best to be friendly and question everyone i see.

It was either they ran away or just stonewalled me. This was a lot harder than i thought i couldnt get any of them to talk. After a couple of hours of getting nowhere Twilight tries to cheer me up and takes me into her library. Inside was a mess of books and scrolls all scattered on the floor. She calls out to Spike a baby dragon that gave me the creeps as he walked down from the upper level. 'Spike did we receive amy news.'

He opens a scroll and reads aloud. My dearest student Twilight. I have been hearing news of this (Fallen Star) all over the kingdom and i am aware of it. And wish for you to report any findings to me personally in Canterlot. But i can hardly believe the story that a being came from the heavens nothing exists beyond them  your ruler and teacher Celestia. I look over after he read it out over to Twilight.

I could see the anger causing her face to change color. When i ask ' Whats going on she calms down and sighs. ' It seems she needs proof so im going to gather the others and all of us are going to Canterlot to see her.' I ask how and she responds with a smile.' The train silly' it should be back in two days by my schedule. Its a five day ride to Canterlot. I was never good with long trips and having these ponies going along with me might drive me over the edge.

She spits a card into my hand and instructs me to visit Rarity at the edge of town to get some new clothes and that she would pick me up at Fluttershy's the morning we would depart. If i wanted to go home i would have to do as i was told. So i thank her and let her get back to work. I walk outside and sigh staring at the card which was written in words i couldnt read so i began my walk to Rarity's Boutique
