Chapter 4: Darkness Comes To Town

It was early morning in Canterlot when Princess Celestia had just opened up a letter from her most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. “Ah, it seems she or one of her friends has learned another valuable lesson in friendship, I wonder what the lesson was.” She unrolled the letter that had come into her position late last night when she was asleep. As she read it, she became more and more disturbed by the content from the letter, as it was not a letter talking about a lesson in friendship, but that of disgust and hatred.

Princess Luna was going to her chambers to rest so she could be up when it was time for her to raise the moon when she sensed that her sister was disturbed by something, but from what she could not tell. She went to Celestia’s door to investigate and upon arriving proceeded to knock. “Tia? Are you there sister? Is something the matter?”

Princess Celestia’s focus on the letter was broken when her sister had called out for her through the door. “Oh, Luna, it’s you. Yes, come in and I shall tell you about it.”

Princess Luna entered her sister’s room where she saw her sister using her magic to magically hold a letter up and read it. “What is the problem dear sister?”

“It’s this letter Luna. It came late last night apparently so I didn’t get a chance to read it until just now. I was expecting it to be a letter from my student-“

“Twilight Sparkle, correct?” Luna interjected her sister.

“Err, yes, that student. Anyways, the letter that I received from my student was a letter that I had expected to be about friendship like I had assigned her, but this…” She hovered the letter over to where Luna was standing to allow her to see. Luna then used her magic to grab it when it finally floated over.

The letter had been written as such. “Dear Princess Celestia, today I have learned that not ALL ponies are kind and friendly as I had once believed. Tonight, I had met the specific pony you had requested me to meet along with my friends.

At first he seemed to be a well-mannered gentlepony when I was introducing my friends as he nodded and followed each and every one of us as we said our names. It was after we had finished introducing ourselves that he insisted that I leaned in closer to hear him as he whispered to me. What he whispered was… Infuriating! He insulted my friends and I for no reason whatsoever and then when Rainbow Dash was trying to get him to apologize, he had puked all over her and got some even in her mouth!

I’m sorry Princess, but I do believe that this stallion cannot be changed if THIS is how he acts when someone tries being nice to him. From your most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.”

Princess Luna had finished the letter then looked back at her sister, who still looked worried. “Tia… Who is this ‘new’ pony Twilight Sparkle speaks of?” Luna said in a scolding tone.

Celestia’s face turned from that of confusion and despair, to that of one of shock, as she had been clearly caught in her little scheme. “Oh, well, you know… ehehe…”

“Tia…” Luna once again said in her scolding tone.

“Well…” Luna was now glaring at her trying to pry the information from her older sister.

“Didn’t we promise we wouldn’t keep any more secrets from each other? So that a situation like Nightmare Moon will never come again?”

“Yes we did… but-“

“But what?... What are you hiding Tia?”

Finally, after all the pressure coming from Luna, Celestia had finally cracked. “Alright! I give! A few nights ago I thought I could have a little fun by finding some poor sap who has had a miserable life from another planet and bring him here so that he could change for the better! That’s all!” Celestia yelled in defeat at her younger sister with her hooves up in the air.

“An alien from another planet Tia? Really?...” ‘I guess this is why some ponies around the castle call her Trollestia.’

“I heard that!” Celestia protested as Luna suddenly remembered that they could share thoughts with one another if they were willing.

‘Crud.’ “Well, if this is all true, how do we know it isn’t a danger to our little ponies?” Luna asked as she really did worry about the ponies of Equestria and the thought of something killing them frightened her.

“When he got here, I made sure to turn him into an earth pony. That way, even though he still has some of his abilities from his own world, he will have lost the urge to hurt anypony so long as he doesn’t figure out how to fix it. Even then he’ll only do it only in self-defense, he can never be the aggressor.”

“What happens if he is attacked before he is able to fix himself?” Luna asked, clearly being curious about the creature.

“He will only be able to run as he will have no way of knowing how to fight.”

“Well that’s good… So… how is he able to fix himself?” Luna asked Celestia, wanting to know so she could prevent it from happening if she ever had to.

Celestia became red and turned around away from Luna, then muttered. “….al …e.co….”

“I’m sorry, what Tia?” Luna hadn’t heard what Celestia had said.

“I said ..xu.. in…co….” She muttered once more.

“One more time. This time an itsy bitsy louder.”

“I said sexual intercourse! That’s how he has to fix himself! By having sex with somepony!” Celestia yelled out, turning around to reveal her face to be bright red.

After hearing Celestia yelling the words ‘sexual intercourse’, Luna had also begun to turn bright red, but then facehoofed after realizing what she heard. “Tia…”

“I know! But I did research this time! On his world it’s both immoral and illegal to have sex with anything that’s NOT his own species! That means we’re in the clear and we won’t have to ever worry about it!”

“You mean like that time you brought that alien who happened to be dealing illegal drugs who said he was a guitarist and the only way to fix himself was to use said drugs? Causing you to have teleport him back to his own world before he started corrupting our world as well?” Luna countered.

“Well at least he bought his roommates a very nice house with the money he made here by selling the drugs he had on him to the nobles here in Canterlot… By the way, have I ever told you you’re getting much better at modern Equestrian?” Celestia tried changing the subject.

“Tia… You know we had to confiscate and destroy all the drugs he gave all the nobles so they wouldn’t be crazed junkies…I fear the same might happen again this time.”

“Alright, I know, I know.” Celestia finally admitted she was defeated… Suddenly, she had gotten a perfect idea, at least to her it was. “I know Luna! You can keep watch of him while I stay here in Canterlot and do everything like I did before you came back from the moon!”

“Wait, what? What do you mean sister?”

“He knows what I look like so I can’t keep watch of him in fear of him recognizing me. But if you went in my place, we wouldn’t have to worry about him getting out of control because you would be watching over him the entire time! That and you could help Twilight with her project by helping her getting to know him better! It’s perfect!”

“I guess. But wouldn’t it-“ Luna was cut off though as her sister grabbed her entire body and opened the windows. What happened next was mildly entertaining for Celestia and extremely annoying and somewhat frightening for Luna.

“I know, I know, I’m going to miss you too here at the castle while you’re away. But worry not dear sister, as I, Celestia, shall take care of everything in the castle while you are watching the young man. Now, off you go!” and with that, she chucked Luna off the balcony.

“TIAAAAAA!” Luna screamed out as she was thrown over, gradually falling towards the ground. Before she hit the ground though, she remembered she had wings and opened them to catch herself. ‘Geez Tia, you could have just asked instead of throwing me over the edge nearly killing me! And you didn’t even tell me what he looks like!’ Luna thought, trying to communicate with her sister. For a while there was nothing but silence. ‘I know you’re there Tia.’

‘I can’t hear youuu!’ Celestia mockingly said trying to sing in her head.

‘Tia…’

‘Oh alright, I don’t know what he looks like, happy now? All I know is that he lives in Ponyville.’

‘*Sigh* Tia…’

‘Alright, alright. Look, when you get back I’ll have the chefs make you a triple vanilla scoop fudge covered sundae, with bananas. Doesn’t that sound good?’

‘…. Don’t think this makes us even Tia.’ And with that, Luna set off in the direction of Ponyville.

Meanwhile, in Ponyville, a certain brown stallion was waking up from his deep slumber he was having trying to get rid of the massive headache he had due to his actions from the night before. ‘God, what the hell did I do last night? Oh, right. Massive drinking at the party. Huh, that’s odd, everything is fuzzy from last night. Speaking of which, how did I get back into my bed?’ He turned to his left in his bed, and there facing him were two large crimson eyes with a white outline.

“Why hello there handsome.” Vinyl grinned like usual.

“aaaaaaAAAAAAHH!” I began to scream at the top of my lungs seeing Vinyl lay right next to me in bed. I was freaking out so much I had fallen out of bed as Vinyl looked at me over the edge.

“What? You don’t like it when a beautiful mare is lying right next to you when you wake up?”

“W-why are you in my bed Vinyl!?”

“What? You don’t remember last night? It was really fun.” She was grinning larger than usual.

“Wait… you don’t mean…” ‘Please no. For the love of God, please no.’

“Yep.” She answered still wearing that huge grin.

“Oh my god…” ‘Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod… I think I’m going to be sick.’ But for some odd reason I couldn’t feel anything in my stomach. That was when Octavia barged into the room, I suppose she had heard my screaming.

“VINYL! What did I say about teasing him!?” She stormed in yelling at Vinyl.

“Awww, you’re no fun ‘Tavi.”

“Wait, you mean we didn’t?” I asked, trying to make sure.

“Nope.” She said with that huge grin still on her face.

“VINYL! Downstairs! Now!” Octavia commanded her.

“Awww, but ‘Tavi-“

“NOW!” Octavia nearly screamed at the top of her lungs. Both me and Vinyl recoiled in shock.

“Yes’m!” Vinyl said to Octavia and ran out my room, running down the stairs to the living room.

“And you! Come down when you’re showered and ready! We have a lot to talk about!” She nearly screamed at me, then slammed the door behind her as she too went downstairs, nearly breaking the door from its hinges.

“…. Was it something I said?”

After showering and getting to dry myself, I had noticed that something, no, make that someTHINGS, were missing from my room, or more specifically, my end table. “Oh no, please tell me… Fuck… Fuckfuckfuckfuck! I guess I should’ve anticipated this if I could never go home but fuck! Only the second day!? Give me a god damn break!”

I started to walk down slowly where at the bottom I noticed both Vinyl and Octavia sitting in the same chairs they were sitting in the living room yesterday.

“Sit.” Octavia commanded of me, pointing at the couch. I obliged her without any trouble and quickly sat down. There, on the table separating the couch and the chairs, were my Iphone, my cigarette box, and my lighter. ‘Fuuuuuck.’

Suddenly, she spoke up once more. “Do you mind explaining what these things are?”

“….”

“Well!?” Once again, nearly screaming at me trying to pry the information out of me.

“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t know?” Wow, was that an extremely dumb thing to say. Octavia looked at me with daggers in her eyes after I made that statement. “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you… They’re… They’re things from my world.” ‘There, I said it. It’s all over for me now. They’ll either think I’m insane and kick me out of the house or believe me and call the cops on my ass.’

“What do you mean ‘Your world’?” She was still extremely mad at me for some reason, but for some reason I don’t think was THE reason she was this angry.

“Well, I guess you were going to find out sometime soon anyways so I guess I would have to tell you sooner or later.” I took a deep breath preparing myself. “I come from a planet called Earth. My real name is Joseph Henderson, but some people call me Jojo. The planet I live on is dominated by my species called Humans. We are a race of hairless apes who have evolved over many millions of years and walk upright. We are also omnivores. We have evolved so far that we have the capability to make amazing technology such as the machine you see before your eyes.” I pointed to the Iphone. I then picked it up and began explaining what it was. The entire time Octavia had a skeptical face on while Vinyl seemed genuinely intrigued by my story about Earth and its inhabitants. I then began to tell the story of my life up to the point of where the white horse had teleported me here.

“That still doesn’t explain how you got here.” Octavia finally said after hearing my story out.

“Well… One night I had gotten drunk more than usual, and I had gone back to my apartment to get some things and proceeded to go a park nearby trying to find some people to play music to get some cash, but was too stupid to realize at the time that it was so late that nobody would have been there. But that was when things got weird. When I reached the park, I could have sworn that I had seen a white horse that both a horn and wings, and that it’s mane and tail were multi-colored. It created a portal out of nowhere and I could have sworn it was telling me to go through it. Since I was drunk at the time, and completely not functioning right, I obliged it and went through. That’s when I had woken up here, in this world, the next morning.”

Octavia and Vinyl became wide-eyed at this for some reason, and when Octavia was about to speak, Vinyl put a hoof over Octavia’s mouth to stop her. “What’s the big idea Vinyl?”

Vinyl then proceeded to motion Octavia to turn away from me so I wasn’t able to hear them talking, which made me somewhat suspicious, but I also had a massive headache at the time so I couldn’t exactly focus on them. “Think about it ‘Tavi, if what he is saying is true then that means Princess Celestia sent him here.” Vinyl whispered.

“Yeah, so?”

“Well, think about it. If what he said about his life is true, then that must mean Princess Celestia probably sent him here to get him to change! It would make a lot of sense why Twilight and the other Elements of Harmony tried talking to him last night then. The princess must have tasked Twilight with changing his attitude and living a better life! But that backfired because of the fact that when they decided to talk to him he was so drunk he wasn’t able to think straight meaning he didn’t put the nice-nice act on them and that whole fiasco happened. Isn’t that what your sister said about what happened last night?”

“Well… I guess that would make sense… but I still won’t forgive him for last night!”

“Why? I know you love your sister and all but all he did was say a naughty word or two, it’s not that big of a deal.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about! I’m talking about when he walked into my room last night and just stood at the entrance when he saw me pla-“ Vinyl put a hoof over Octavia’s mouth to stop her. She then turned to me to ask me.

“Hey Fi-fi, you remember anything last night?”

“No… Not really… All I can remember at the moment is about half-way through the party, where you tried getting me to play some game that I refused to do, and after that those other girls came over and started to introduce themselves… But for some reason I can only remember the purple one saying her name, everything else is blank, why?”

“Oh nothing, just curious.” She gave me a big smile and turned back to Octavia. “There, he can’t remember a thing, satisfied? I’m sure he was just really drunk and thought your room was the bathroom or something before passing out again.”

“I guess so… But we still have that whole Elements of Harmony problem to deal with.”

Vinyl gave Octavia one of the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen, even to this day. “Just leave that to me.”

At the time, on the other side of town, a certain dark blue alicorn was flying over the town. It was still early out that very few ponies were out at the time. Princess Luna landed in front of Twilight’s house and began knocking on the door. A very sleepy dragon had answered the door. “I’m sorry but the library is still closed, please come back later.” He yawned and began closing the door when a hoof stopped it. He looked up to see the princess standing there. “P-princess Luna! I’m so sorry! I didn’t know you were coming.”

“It’s quite alright young dragon, I am looking for Twilight Sparkle though, is she here?” Spike nodded and let the princess inside.

“Twilight is still upstairs sleeping. Apparently something late last night really got her upset and she has been in a really bad mood since. She even kept me awake for an hour telling me about it, but I didn’t really hear it since I was half-asleep the entire time.”

“Yes… I had heard about what happened last night when she made you send that letter last night…” Princess Luna replied to the young dragon. After a while Luna spoke up once more. “This might be awkward but… what was your name again? Please forgive me as I have not gotten the chance to learn all of your names, despite my sister always talking about you and the Elements.”

“It’s alright Princess, you don’t need to apologize. Twilight called me Spike when I was born and while she was still young Princess Celestia took care of me. 10 years later and here we are in Ponyville saving it from all sorts of trouble while Twilights learns about friendship I guess.” Spike finished saying. He then proceeded to tell the princess. “I don’t know what it is Princess, but there’s something different about you… I can’t quite put my claw on it though…”

“Oh? I wonder what it could be…” Princess Luna wondered about what the dragon could have possibly meant by what he said, quite possibly awaiting a compliment of some kind.

Suddenly, he remembered. “I know! You’re not talking in that really funky way anymore, you know, with the ‘we’s and the ‘thy’s and silly stuff like that!” He exclaimed, proud of himself of remembering.

“Oh, that.” Princess Luna said in a deflated tone, not really upset at the dragon for noticing, but also not too pleased about how he phrased it. She could not blame him though for he was still a young dragon and did not know better. “Yes, thanks to my sister, I have been taking ‘modern Equestrian’ lessons at the castle to know of what the ponies of today talk like.”

“Oh, that’s interesting.” Spike tried acting like he cared about it, but he really didn’t. Suddenly, the two of them heard rustling coming from upstairs and heard Twilight coming down the steps from her bedroom.

“Spike? Is there somepony there with you?” Twilight Sparkle came down very tired but had heard talking downstairs and had to make sure who it was, it was then that she saw the princess. “Princess! What are you doing here?” She exclaimed, clearly not expecting her coming.

Suddenly, the princess spoke up, not in a threatening tone, but also not in a pleasant one. “Twilight Sparkle! We have come for thee!”

Well guys, there’s chapter 4 for you, hope you enjoyed it. For anyone asking, no I will NOT be making this into a clopfic, as I had no intention of doing so at the very beginning. The only reason I put that ‘fixing’ part in was because I know the character ends up thinking he’s attracted to the ponies one minute, then snaps out of it and remembers he’s a human the next. But enough of that, I want to know what you guys think. Should this be turned up to Mature? Or stay at Teen? I’m sorta at the borderline at the moment with it. I mean, yeah, I’ve said some raunchy things in here (I guess.) but for some reason I feel like I haven’t pushed it over the line yet. Tell me what you guys think in the comments, and also tell me if there’s anything I can do to make the story better (i.e. helping with my grammar, spelling, etc.) Well, see all of you next chapter!
