We all got ourselves settled in to the chariot ready to go to Town Hall to set up a meeting. Once we arrived and we were getting settled, a bunch of the towns ponies kept on looking at me strangely.

"Eh, can't say I blame them for looking at a somewhat hairy monkey with no tail who wears clothes. Oh well." I thought to myself once I got seated with the others sitting right next to me.

"Okay, uh...hey, everybody. I'm sorry to have caused all of you to take time out of your daily schedules to be here today. I know there's a lot of questions most of you might have, but, with all due respect, I request that they wait until I'm done. *AHEM!* So yea...First and foremost, I don't mean no harm to anybody here. I don't know how much I can emphasize that, but I'm a friendly. In fact, I know some of you pretty well already. How, you might ask? Well, remember that one pony that was here the other day? That was me." At that, the whole crowd took on a collective breath of surprise that could've given a vacuum cleaner a run for its money.

"But how?? Y-you're not a Changeling, are you??" Asked one of the audience members.

"No, I'm not a Changeling. I am of a species nobody knows about here. But I'll get to that in a minute. Ok, who's up first?" I asked the crowd.

"Ooh, ooh. Pick me, pick me." A yellow filly with red hair and a pink bow called out.

"Oh, hey Applebloom. What is your question?" I asked the filly.

""So if yer an' alien, an' Twilight brought-cha here with her magic, then how'd ya get turned into a pony from there? And might Ah ask why you're not a pony now?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Wow, she's got quite a brain in her." I thought.

"The answer: Magic. I got the idea to have Twilight turn myself into a pony right after she brought me here for the first time. And I guess Princess Celestia wanted to let everybody know who the real me was." I told her. "That, and I was gonna show Twilight's friends my world as well." I finished.

"Ooh." I heard one of the ponies say.

"Indeed." Twilight agreed. "Um, as you may or may not know, but Mat is a human." Twilight told them.

"Ahh." I heard another one say.

"And from what I understand, human beings don't exist here in Equestria. I appear to be the very first of my kind to enter into this place. Which is in a galaxy far, far away from here I might add." I added some more.

"Galaxy? Far, far away?" A light brown, blue-eyed Earth stallion questioned. "Might you elaborate on that?"

"Exactly what I said, sir. I'm from an entirely different plane of existence. And before you hit me with a bunch of science-y questions about ripping through the fabric of time and space and astronomical wormholes that would quite possibly rupture the flow of reality and defy, shatter, and make an outhouse of the laws of physics as we know it, as well as outrageous 'black-hole grandfather paradox theories', I'd have to refer you to Twilight, because she's the one who managed to conjure up the spell to bring me here. I don't know that much about it myself." I told him.

"That I did." Twilight agreed with a smile.

"Wait. You're seriously from a whole 'nother world??? Name's Lyra Heartstrings by the way." Asked a mint green unicorn.

"Yea. Somewhere amongst the cosmos, there exists a world entirely inhabited by my kind. In some ways, its civilizations and natural landscapes are just as affluent in diversity as the ones here this world are. In many other ways, it's far different." I said to her.

"Ok, who's next?" I asked. "You there." I said pointing to a filly with a purple mane and tail and with orange fur.

"Hi, Scootaloo's the name. Hey are there ponies like us in your world?" She asked.

"Yes and no. You see Scootaloo, the ponies in my world do not talk, nor can they fly or use magic. So I guess we have a bunch of Earth ponies there." I answered her.

"I see..." She thought.

"Next question. Hmm...you there?" I called out.

"Hi, my name is Mrs. Cheerilee." A pony with the same color scheme as Pinkie but reversed greeted.

"Hiya, what is it you wanna know?" I asked the school mare.

"Yes well, since you can't fly and you don't have magic, what do you use?" She continued.

"Technology such as television, computers, telephones, and there are some vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses and we also have trains as well. And we have airplanes that actually help us to fly in the sky. That sort of stuff." I assured her.

"Hmm..." She looked a bit blank on what I told her. Rainbow however went wide eyed at my statement.

"Anyway, next question." I said looking around at the audience.

"I do believe I have one, dear." Rarity said as she approached me.

"Yea, Mademoiselle?" I asked Rarity while using a French/Prench accent.

"My, that eloquence of yours." She coyly remarked with a sweet little smile. "*AHEM!* But I must know...your clothing...does your species wear it often?"

"Yea. Almost all the time, actually. And because I know you're big on clothes, Rarity, I'll let you know this: The fashion industry is huge in my world. Designer brands of all kinds of clothes. Distributed, sold, bought, worn, and modeled all over the world."

At that, the dainty little mare practically squee'd in excitement as her eyes glimmered with interest.

"But generally, yea, we humans wear clothes almost all the time. We only ever take them off when we bathe or on 'special occasions, if you catch my drift."

"Oh my! That's very intriguing. You know, I've been having aspirations to expand my designer market toward non-ponies. Do you think it would be okay if you were able to maybe...allow me to...to scale you sometime?" She innocently requested.

"I uh...I guess so." I agreed, thrown off by the request. "But why? I'm the only human here."

"I know, but if there's something I adore when it comes to fashion design, it's a challenge. Quite frankly, if most humans dress like you do, then there's much work to be done." She said smiling.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" I asked, taking the statement as a jab at my admittedly-shabby fashion sense.

"Nothing personal, Mat, it's just...your ensemble could use a little sprucing up if your kind wears clothes all the time. Besides..." She trailed off as she stood on her back legs to get into my ear. "You definitely want to look good for Twilight...don't you?" She whispered with that perturbing, yet cute little giggle of hers.

Once again, that made Twilight blush. I however face-palmed.

"Hey, I haven't the slightest clue if I actually like her like her yet." I annoyingly thought to myself.

"Fine. Just let me know a good time." I said feeling a bit uneasy at Rarity's remark.

"I knew you'd see it my way. I shan't disappoint you," she excitedly let me know as she went back to the group.

"Hmm...anybody else?" I asked the group.

"Excuse me!" Called a filly from the crowd.

"Hey, Sweetie Belle! What's going on!" I greeted.

"Hi, Mat. Um...do you have a Cutie Mark right now like you did when you were a pony?"

"As a pony, I did. As a human, I don't. Humans don't have Cutie Marks." At that, a good portion of the crowd gasped in shock. "I know, it's weird to hear from me. But yea, if a human has a special talent, then he or she will just know it and find a way to become successful using said talents." The audience droned in bewildered interest at my confession. "So with that, is there anything else you all wanna know?" I asked. "Ok, who's next?" The crowd went into a small, controlled fit of overlapping hooves as many more seemed to have questions than I expected. "You there!" I called out.

"Good afternoon, sir. Caramel's the name." Spoke the stallion I chose. "Seeing as you're not the same species as any of us, then I presume that means you probably don't have the same diet?"

"More or less true." I told him.

"So...are you an herbivore like us? Or do you eat jewels like a dragon? Or do you eat other animals?" He continued asking.

"I'm an omnivore by nature." I curtly replied, which garnered a surprisingly small amount of shock. "But since coming here, I've not eaten any kind of meat, considering you're all vegetarians." I assured him. The crowd soon relaxed. I was shaking a little since I never really told Twilight yet that I sometimes eat meat when I first met her. Oh well. "Any other questions?"

"Over here!" A different mare shouted.

"Yes, you." I asked.

"Berry Dreams here. So...um...I'm not sure if you know this, but it's just about springtime." She said nervously.

"Why, yes. Yes it is." I stated.

"And I'm not sure if you know exactly what happens to mares during the springtime." She continued

"I got a bad feeling about this." I thought hoping she isn't going in that direction.

"I'm aware of it, yes. Your point?" I stated.

"*gulp* I'm just gonna be blunt with it: Have you and Twilight done any-!" She continued but was cut off.

"Enough of that!" I annoyingly thought.

"AH! AH! I'm gonna have to stop you there, Berry Dreams. T.M.I." I commented while making a "T" with my hand.

"Wha-?" She asked in confusion.

"Too much information. Especially when there's kids in the audience. Next question, please!" I hurriedly skipped.

"Thanks." A red faced Twilight whispered in my ear.

"No problem." I said back.

(evil laughing)

A startled Twilight seemed to recognize the voice, letting out a long sigh. “Now what?” She grimaced.

"It's funny how Twilight Snarkle here would be in a relationship with a hairless monkey. Yeah, I'm talking to you Snarkle. You and your idiot friends ruined everything." A blue mare with a purple wizard cloak and hat gloated. Twilight face-hoofed at the rude comment.

“What are you doing here, Trixie?” Twilight challenged the other mare.

"What's wrong Snarkle? Afraid that your stupid bangs and lousy magic skills might get in the way of The Great and Powerful Trixie?" Trixie continued to gloat.

"Hey! What's wrong with my bangs? They match my tail." Twilight said wagging her tail a little to show what she meant.

"What's up with you?" I politely asked the mare.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that "The Great and Powerful Trixie" was just basking in your spotlight in where it should be mine. And to let you know that I'm here because "The Great and Powerful Trixie" has been receiving some...*growl*...tough crowds." She gloated again but I just decided to just glare at her.

"Hey! I'll have you know that we've defeated you twice now, and we are not afraid to do it again." Twilight shot back.

"Yeah!" The gang said.

"Whatever, it's not like he can beat me though." She continued to gloat, only to me this time.

"Uh...yeah, I can." I gloated back at her. She was really starting to get on my nerves now.

"Hah! You expect "The Great and Powerful Trixie" to believe that she can be beaten by a simpleton hairless monkey? Well, you are sadly mistaken." She barked.

She was so temping me to fight, but I just continued to glare at her.

"Whatever. See you losers later." And with a *POOF*, she was gone.

"Phew, that was close." I mumbled.

"Indeed. Well it looks like we'll be heading home since Trixie ruined the meeting. Later everypony". Twilight said while waving goodbye to the crowd.

And with that, we headed home.

A short time later, we arrived at Twilight's library to just hang out for a bit before it was time to go to my world.

"Ok, now what?" I asked not knowing what to do next.

"Beats me sugarcube." Applejack replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Heh, you're pretty funny A.J." I said to the farm pony.

"Hey now, Ah'm bored too ya know." She said with a sigh.

"Um...I'm a little bored too. N-no offense." Fluttershy commented.

"I say, that Trixie has been getting under my fur for quite some time. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be sitting here bored myself. No offense myself." Rarity scoffed with a flip of her mane.

"Not me, I never get bored." At that we all looked at Rainbow. "Ok, maybe I'm a little bored too." She admitted in defeat while crossing her hooves in the process.

"Aw, usually I'm all over the place when I'm happy. But now, I'm not since that phony-bologna-pony ruined my happy mood." Pinkie said with a frown.

"Eh, that settles it. To Mat's world we go. Spike, take care of the library while were gone. Ok?" Twilight said.

"You got it." Spike assured her with a salute.

She began powering up her horn so she could take us all to my world. *POOF*

And with a *POOF* we all appeared in my room.

"Wow." the mares said in unison. Except Twilight since she already got to see it.

"You weren't kiddin' when you were talkin' 'bout this technology stuff." A.J. said.

"Uh-huh." The four mares all agreed.

"Anyway...wanna have a look around?" I asked them.

"Sure." And with that I got to show them the house. Twilight decided to just to read a book on my bed while I was entertaining her friends.

First up, I got to watch Iron Man with Rainbow much like I did with Twilight. Only this time, she liked it.

I then watched Project Runway with Rarity. She wouldn't even budge from her spot after it was over. It was a good thing I had some DVD's of it for her to watch. So I put in the Season 1 DVD in and had her watch the entire season.

Then it was Fluttershy's turn. I don't know why I didn't give these away, but I put in Zoboomafoo for her to watch. She wouldn't stop talking and pointing at the screen. She was almost as cute as Twilight when I got to show her my computer.

Next up, I had Pinkie Pie watch The Three Stooges cartoon. She laughed so hard she peed a little on the carpet.

"Oopsie." She said feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's alright. It'll soon dry up." I said to her.

“Okie Dokie Lokie!” She said feeling better knowing that she had a bit of an accident.

Speaking of peeing, I saw Twilight come out of my room some time later for a bathroom break herself.

Finally, it was Applejack's turn. I had no idea what to have her watch, but then I soon settled on The Amanda Show hoping it has the Hillbilly Moment stuff. I'll be frank, some episodes don't have that in the show. But today I got lucky.

It was starting to get late, so I called the group over and I ordered vegetarian pizza for each of us for dinner.

"Well, today was certainly an interesting day. I mean, I was fine until Trixie showed up." I said while working on my second slice.

"It could've gone better, but I agree. Sorry about that by the way." Twilight said while eating her slice as well.

"Trixie sure is a sneaky one, but I agree as well." Pinkie Pie added while eating her slice in one big gulp.

"Too bad I didn't get the chance to fight her sorry flank, I would've been awesome at that." Rainbow remarked while eating her slice with attitude.

"Rainbow darling, this isn't the time nor the place to be discussing that kind of behavior around our friend." Rarity scolded Rainbow while nibbling on her slice.

"Uh-huh." The rest of the mares agreed while finishing their slices.

Once dinner was over, I put the leftovers in the fridge and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Then I went and got out my spare camping bed from when I went camping a few years back and had the six ponies all get ready for bed waiting what tomorrow would bring us.

"Ok here's the plan for tomorrow." I started to say. "Before we go back to Equestria, I was thinking we all go for a road trip."  With that, I got a bunch of 'yay's' from the six mares. "But I cannot allow you all to be seen by anybody while were outside." I got a bunch of sad 'awws' from them that time. "However, Twilight here could turn you all into humans just like she was able to turn me into a pony. Maybe. Then you won't be spotted and taken away to who-knows-where so they can do who-knows-what to you." I finished.

"It's worth a shot." Twilight agreed.

"Then it's settled. Goodnight everypony." I said to them.

"Goodnight Mat." They said back.

And with that, we all went into a deep sleep.

Correction, I went to a deep sleep. The six ponies all stayed awake chatting about what they would like to do in the morning.

They were careful to not let their talking and giggles disturb me while I lay sleeping just halfway across the room.

The moon cast just enough light for the ponies to be able tell each other apart.

Pinkie Pie was the first to speak, which didn't surprise anyone. "Isn't this great, you guys?! I'm so excited! Are you guys excited? I know I am! I can't wait to see all the bakeries and throw a bunch of parties and-" Twilight put a hoof over her mouth, cutting her off.

"Pinkie! You gotta be more quiet!" Twilight whispered. "You're gonna wake up Mat!" She slowly withdrew her hoof, revealing an embarrassed grin from Pinkie. "Heh...sorry." She giggled.

"No harm done, sugarcube." Applejack whispered. "Ah'd say we're all mighty excited."

"I simply couldn't agree more!" Rarity chimed in. "I'd say the fashion here is simply to die for! Oh, this could be great for business, you know!" Rarity kicked her hooves in the air.

"I want to see all the animals." Said Fluttershy. "I want to see them all. I mean, you know, if that's okay with you guys." She trailed off, letting her mane cover half of her face.

"It's all good Fluttershy. Now, let's all go to sleep." Twilight said.

And with that, the six ponies fell asleep with smiling faces. Next Chapter: Chapter 5 - Once You Go Human, You Won't Wanna Go Pony Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 57 Minutes
