Chapter 2

The night sky glittered. The light from the houses lit up the town and several guards could be heard patrolling the town. After the reveal of the meteorite's content. Ponyville was put under protection by the royal guards themselves as Twilight resided there.

In the library, a fire warmed up the room. Twilight was lying down, reading a book, and a unconscious bipedal creature was stirring on the sofa. Absorbed in her book, Twilight took no notice of the creature until he would wake up.

Creature's POV

I opened my eyes and I had a massive headache. Was I drunk last night? I feel like someone has smashed my head in with a sledgehammer. I was sleeping on a sofa with a blanket over me, and I was in a library. Odd. Like my dream, I imagined I was in Equestria and I was in some sort of tube, naked. Not much happened after that, just blank. I got out of the sofa and...what in the wide wide world of fuck is that?

A lavender unicorn was lying down, reading a book. Next to a green and purple dragon. OK this is ridiculous, I thought I can't do lucid dreams. I pinched my arm and felt the sharp pain along with it. I am not dreaming. Twilight is right there in front of me. Well, this is interesting. Stuck in Equestria. Is this a dream?

"Hello?" I greeted, the unicorn looked at me in surprise.

"You can talk?" Twilight said.

"Yeah, so I guess you can speak English then?" I asked

"English? I am speaking Equestrian," Twilight corrected. Brilliant, 2 languages are the same. This is fortunate.

"Well, OK then. My name is Lucas, and you are Twilight Sparkle I presume?" I introduced myself, Twilight had a suspicious look upon her.

"How do you know my name?" She asked.

"I just know. Say where are the other 5?" I replied, hoping to meet the mane 6 themselves.

"5? You mean my friends?" She nervously said. My knowledge must of freaked her out a bit. Oh well.

"Yeah; Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. They are your friends, correct?" I interrogated, her eyes widened. She gave me a cautious look.

Twilight's POV

How does he know this? How does he know of my friends, my life, my name even. I don't even know him. Oh well, I must respect him and treat him as an equal, even if he is a bit weird.

"They are, I guess you know them too?" I asked, still wondering how he knows all this. Was he a stalker? He can't be, he was sealed in that meteorite for Celestia's sake!

"Indeed, I would like to meet them. If that is OK with you". The creature asked, his eyes glittered with excitement. I guess they must be known well where he comes from.

"Of course, anything to help out a friend," I agreed. If I declared that I was friendly, he would be too. His mouth gave a massive smile. I don't know whether to be freaked out, or humbled.

I brought the 5 girls outside of the library. They asking why they are meeting him, and more importantly, how he knows them.

"I don't know myself, all I know that he does," I replied, they looked at each other in confusion. "Be easy on him, he is alien to this world and we want to make a good first impression. However Rainbow Dash, being Rainbow Dash. Flew straight into the door and tried to tackle Lucas. However the small device upon his head seemed to make some kind of barrier, and stopped Rainbow in her tracks.

"What the hay!" Rainbow exclaimed, standing back up from her collision. She managed to cut herself on something. Lucas knelt beside her, she growled at him but Lucas put his hand out.

"Here, let me help," Lucas said softly. Rainbow Dash had none of it and stood up on her own.

"Thanks but no thanks," she spat. Lucas sighed and stood up. The other 5 were watching him, slightly angry from his defensive move.

"Please, let me introduce myself properly," Lucas pleaded.

"Alright, but don't do any funny buisness, ya hear?" Applejack replied sternly. Walking inside and sitting down. The others followed her, even Fluttershy.

"My name is Lucas, I am 19 years old and I am a Human," Lucas introduced himself to the mane 6.

"Well, three quarters human. Some of my organs were replaced," Lucas corrected himself.

"And what are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked angrily, rubbing her cut on her underbelly.

"Well, I'm not sure. All I can remember is being back home, then poof. Equestria".

"What is...that on your head," Twilight asked, looking at the small device implanted on the left side of Lucas' face.

"This is a little invention of mine, the Portable Assembly Device," Lucas replied, tapping it with a finger. "It can construct known machines or make new blueprints, very useful in my line of work".

"And that is?"

"Inventing, of course!"

"How do you know about us?" Rarity asked suspiciously.

"You are famous in my home world, due to you being in an international television programme. A television is sort of like moving pictures on a screen. And programmes would be the pictures".

"So you're spying on us!" Rainbow Dash asked, flying up to Lucas and poking him with a hoof.

"No, no! Nothing like that, the whole thing requires you to know boring stuff like the multi-verse theory," Lucas reassured, backing away from Rainbow.

"Well I hope you don't mind but I informed the Princesses about your existence and they have arrived," Twilight said, looking out of the window at a carriage. Lucas' jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

"Princesses! BOTH of the Princesses!" Lucas shouted. Celestia and Luna walked.

Luna and Celestia walked into the library, slightly shocked of Lucas' presence.

"Hello, I am-" Celestia said, before being cut off by Lucas.

"Princess Celestia, I am honoured to meet you," Lucas bowed. He looked at Princess Luna and did the same.

"Well, it's nice to know that people outside of Equestria know us".

"Indeed, are thou friendly and looking to bring peace," Luna asked cautiously, not knowing the intentions of the human.

"I desire peace with those who desire it as well, I do not fare well with warmongers," Lucas declared. "My name is Lucas and I am a human. The best way to recognise my species is a taller, hairless ape".

"I knew you looked similar to an ape," Fluttershy finally spoke, observing Lucas' body, "I haven't seen other Humans though".

"That's because he is from another world," Twilight stated. Suddenly Pinkie Pie began zipping across the room.

"Omigoshthisissoooooawesomewehavetothrowyouaworldcomingparty," She shouted, taking breathing heavily after. It took Lucas a few seconds to process the sentence.

"That is if you will allow me to stay on this world," Lucas said, looking at the 2 Princesses. Luna and Celestia looked at each other and stepped outside.

Luna's POV

"What shall we do big sister?" I asked. This seemed like a bad idea, who knows that that human will do.

"We shall let him stay, go back to Canterlot and set up a room," Celestia ordered. Really? Are they going to let that beast roam free in the castle? If that's what my sister wants, that is what she will have. She knows best after all.

"Of course, he shall be with me," I replied. Although I regret this, he is staying in my room so I can keep an eye on him. No more. My sister raised an eyebrow at me.

"Whatever for? So you can keep an eye on him?" Celestia teased, she had a large grin on her and winked when she said it.

"Not in that way! I am making sure he doesn't try anything devious," I stammered. OK OK I did take a liking to him, but only a small bit.

"OK sister, whatever you think is best. Oh and I can see you blushing," she teased yet again. For bucks sake!

Lucas' POV

Well. This is awkward. I guess ponies don't know about robotics. Staying with Princess Luna? I'm fucked. Well at least I'm staying somewhere instead of my head being under a headsman's axe. Or headspony's I don't know.

"We have decided that you can stay Lucas. On one condition," Celestia decreed. Oh fuck, I hate contracts.

"Twilight has notified me about that small device on your head," She pointed at my PAD(Yeah, I use acronyms because all hi-tech devices use them!), "I want you to work as the royal pioneer". Simple enough. At least it isn't something ridiculous like build a spaceship out of grass and some double sided sticky tape.

"Reasonable enough Princess. My profession is inventing and I could cook up a few bits of tech," I activated the projector on my PAD and put up a very simple project. Fusion power.

I gave a small presentation on Fusion power, not surprising Twilight's jaw dropped. Everyon...pony else was just bloody confused. Rainbow Dash was just asleep. She's as ignorant as a child, or foal.

"So there, that is the principles of fusion," I finished up. Twilight raised her hoof and asked.

"What's an electromagnet?" Well I give up. I'm losing the will to live. I explained what a electromagnet was and everything relevant, hoping not to miss something out. She gave a slight 'aah' noise and scribbled on her note book. The 2 Princesses seemed bored out of their brains, so I woke everyone up using a screamer grenade. Everypony jumped out of their skin. That was my last charge, but it was worth seeing Rainbow Dash bounce around like a pinball.

"What was that for!" Rainbow shouted. I just laughed in her face. Pinkie was laughing with me.

"That was hilarious! We gotta hang out sometime," Pinkie shouted, still laughing. I looked at the clock and...bloody hell! 6am!

"The sun must be raised soon princess," I stated, pointing at the clock. Luna yawned as she was nocturnal, being Princess of the Night and all that jazz.

"Indeed it must, come along Lucas. You must be tried," Luna said. This is gonna mess with my sleep cycles for a while.
