It was two days waiting in the IC room for the creature to wake up. So far, he had no signs of waking, and there was a good chance that the crash put him into a coma. Celestia sat there, for two days, and possibly more, waiting. It was strange for Luna to see her sister just sit there, staring at the creature as it was sleeping soundly. She had been watching her sister do this. Spending sixteen hours a day, watching it.

Luna had enough. She stepped into the room, a tray in her magical grasp with a slice of banana bread and a glass orange juice. Celestia looked away for a moment and flashed a smile at her sister.

"Hello Luna." She greeted her, then turned her attention back to the creature.

"Sister...I wish to know why you stay here watching it. It worries the Elements of Harmony, and I to see you like this."

Celestia sighed sadly. "I fear it isn't going to wake up Luna."

"Is that all?"

She shook her head. "Spells were cast hours later after the crash. Reports of high surges of magic used and speeds that only Rainbow Dash has been able to achieve..." She took the glass and drank a few gulps of it, leaving it half empty. "When it crashed through the castle, guards reported more damages. Two houses had metal bits recovered from walls from the object it was in."

"Was anypony hurt?"

"Thankfully no. Some citizens were able to act quickly and teleport anypony that was in danger, out of it." She sighed, taking a few moments to think more. "Where has this thing come from? I have never  seen such a being before in my life or while you were away."

"Truly?" Luna looked at it with a questioning glace. "Anyways, Sister you must leave him be."

Suddenly the heart monitor shot in it's pulses. The creature shot up, sitting up right. "FUCK!" He yelled.

"Fuck?" Both of the princesses asked, looking at it.

It looked around for a moment. "Alice? Where are we?" He was quiet for a moment. "Yeah I see the two horses, clearly I'm dreaming."

Luna frowned. "I assure you, you are not dreaming creature. And who is this Alice you are speaking to? We do not see anypony else here other than us."

It's eyes widened. "Alice...?" Worry was starting to spike up in his voice, it was shaking, and the monitor started to beep faster again. "WHAT!? NO-NO-NO!" He jumped out of the bed, but was pushed back down. "AH! HELP!"

Celestia moved first to calm him down. "Please little one, you must calm down." It stopped screaming, but it was clear he was already in shock. "Please, we will not hurt you if you will just please calm down." Her voice was calm, and a soft smile was on her lips.

He seemed to pause for a moment, but his eyes still showed much fear. "W-where a-am-m I?" He asked. "How are you talking!?"

"First, you are in a land called Equestria. Second, we are the rulers of said land. As far as I am aware, everypony can talk. Now, may I ask you two questions?" It nodded. "Can you please tell us who you are, your name and race perhaps?"

He took a deep breath, looking down at his hands. "M-my name is Crew Michael Walker, I go by Crew. As for my race...Human, or Homosapian."

"You are a monkey?" Luna asked, raising a brow in question.

He shook his head slowly. "No...well...thanks to millions of years of evolution, we aren't anymore." He pointed to his bright sky blue eyes. "These aren't solid brown like regular monkeys are they?"

"I suppose not, but they are beautiful I must say. Your mane is also pretty too." Celestia said.

"Humans call it hair, but whatever..." He shrugged. Celestia could tell he was much calmer now.

Celestia thought once again for a few moments. "I have a few more questions to ask. Then you may rest again."

"Shoot." He sat down on the bed now that he was released from whatever was holding him. Crew frowned. "Shut it Alice..."

"Again, who is this Alice?" Luna asked once again. "We would like to know."

"Yes, that will be my first question. Who is this Alice you are talking to?"

"You want a long and complex explanation or a simple and quick one?"

"Quick would be nice." Celestia nodded.

"There's another person inside of me who can heal me, keep my body in tip-top shape, and a few other cool things. Like tell me where my Jet is and how it is doing." He looked little sad there for a moment. "She's beat up I can tell."

"Alice, or the Jet you call it?"

"Jet, she's damaged bad, but if I can find a few parts to replace the broken ones, I can put her back into the air."

"And, can this Jet fly at high speeds?"

"She is the fastest Jet made by humans, well me anyways. I always loved them as a kid. Grew up learning everything about its parts and how they function together. I call her Franky-shut it Alice-and her model is Omega-420. Her top speed is mock two point five. That's two and a half times the speed that sound can travel."

Luna's jaw had dropped in shock, while her elder sister's eyes were wide open. "T-that fast?" Celestia asked.

"Yep....hey, wait!" He paused looking at the bed for a moment. "Yeah, Alice wan'ts to know what your names are."

"I am Princess Celestia, Diarch of Equestia and Harbinger of the Sun."

Luna sat proudly as she spoke her title. "And I am Princess Luna, Diarch of Equestria and Harbinger of the Moon. Greetings. Do you have a title?"

Crew sat quietly for a moment, staring nowhere again. When he seemed to come back, he nodded. "I do...I am Ace Crew Michael Walker, Son of the Baron of the Interweb Network Company called PannCo. In short terms. I am the son of one of the most powerful humans ever to be alive. I could make kings fall into bankruptcy if I ever feel threatened."

"And do you?" Celestia asked.

He laughed a little and shrugged. "Okay, the king part was a stretch but with a little work, I'm sure it could happen."

"I knew you were jesting."

"Jest-?" He paused. "Oh! Old English speaker?"

"Old English? Nigh! It is Old Equestian."

"She's getting out of that, I'm sorry if her words may ever confuse you Ace Crew."

"Just Crew would be nice Celestia."

Luna narrowed her eyes. "Use her title..."

He shook his head. "I'm sorry Luna. Where I come from, we don't have a king, queen, prince or princess. Our land is Diplomatic and we elect our leaders. We do not even use their titles when speaking to them unless it is a formal greeting like 'Mr. President' or 'sir'." Crew stopped her from speaking by putting up his hand. "I already know what you're going to say Luna. And no...I will not. If there is one thing that I will ever follow it is laws, not titles. Titles mean absolutely nothing to me."

"But you are rich are you not?"

"Rich, not greedy Celestia. I don't even want my father's money, but I have it anyways." Celestia was starting to get a little tired of him freezing up when this 'other person' is talking to him. "Right, anyways I'm sure there's one more important question that you'd like to ask right?"

She nodded. "Yes, actually two if you don't mind." He shook his head with a kind smile. "Are you going to attack any of our subjects?"

"I will not cause harm to any whom don't deserve it Celestia. You have my word. If I feel threatened, I can, and will defend myself regardless of any law you have that can stop me."

"And If I?" He nodded gravely and she sighed. "Alright, fine then last question then you may rest Crew. How old are you in terms of three hundred and sixty-five day years?"

"Twenty-five and I guess in two months twenty-six. But I'm sure by then I would have found a way home." He smiled to himself and nodded.

Celestia stood and looked to her sister. "Luna, we must go by our word. Let's leave him to rest."

"Actually, I'm fine. Alice says I'm fine enough to run a marathon."

"Marathon? What is that?"

"A twenty-four and a half mile run." He shrugged. "I think it's pretty cool ya'know? Alice does a great work with taking care of me."

"Can this Alice speak for herself?" Luna asked.

"She could, and would if she had enough energy to do so." He said sadly. "She did a number on herself trying to keep my vitals up...Sorry Ally..."

"A nickname for her?" Celestia asked.

"Ish, but yeah. AI like her are rare and very expensive. She tolerates it because she needs me and I need her."

"Need?" Luna asked. "Why is that?"

Crew looked dark for a second, then looked at the princesses, his eyes showing hate. "Get out..." He laid down on the bed, looking out the window. "Leave me alone..."

Luna opened her mouth to say something, but Celestia shook her head. "As you wish Crew. Have a good rest, I will return later to see how you are feeling."

"...Alright..." He said quietly.

As the princesses exited the room, Celestia felt like giving a long sigh of relief and added stress. "Luna...please watch what you say around him."

"I only asked why he needed this Alice." Luna said softly. "It was like I had castrated him..."

"Luna...perhaps there are things where he is from that requires her to be with him. I've cast a spell on the chair to listen to him whenever I need. For now, we need to wait to see if he will do anything worth noting."

"As you wish Sister, but I do not like how he speaks to us. It is like he holds no respect to anypony who's higher than himself."

Celestia scratched her chin. "Yes, he does seem to carry that attitude doesn't he...? Another question for another time I suppose. Now, we must go tell the Elements that our human is awake."

And as they began walking, Celestia was thinking about the human. He was strange, and didn't seem more than just another one of her subjects. She could understand how he would feel frightened speaking to something so new, so power, speaking to a goddess was no small feat. Why he was so defensive about Luna asking him why he needed Alice brought up more questions.

What could have caused him to feel so angry about someone asking him such a simple question. It confused her. Alice seemed nice, she kept him alive and only hurt herself in the process of saving his life. Maybe, this Alice was more to him than just a person. Maybe, he loved her. She chuckled to herself at the thought. When Luna asked about it, Celestia just waved a hoof, saying it was nothing. How could one love who is inside of them.

She blushed up. No, I must not think like that! Her blush was sustained with even more thoughts. She shook her head to the point her crown fell off. No! Not like that! Surely they are just friends or partners like a pair of guards! This seemed to ease her blush, but her face was still a little red.

Luna looked at her sister pick her crown back off the ground and rest it back on her head. She tried asking why she was blushing so much, but she waved it off again. Deciding to ask about it later, Luna just shrugged. She just wanted to see her friends again and get back to work. It was close to five, so it was still another hour until she was needed to raise the moon.

They were entering the castle once again, hopefully for the last time for the day. Luna had been in and out trying to deal with the nobles complaining about their homes having holes in their walls and roofs. Others were asking about why there was still that large metal object they now assumed was Crew's Jet named Franky. Luna was just happy to be back in her home again, no matter how badly it looked in the throne room, the castle still seemed to show its marvelous glow.

When Luna saw Fluttershy walking with Rarity in the halls, Luna bid her sister farewell until dinner was ready. She ran down the hall until she caught up with her friends.

"Greetings little friends of mine!" Luna smiled happily.

"You seem in quite the good mood princess- I mean, Luna." Rarity said. "Any reason?"

"Sister and I have spoken to the creature who calls himself Crew Michael Walker. It is a hairless ape!"

"Oh my!" Fluttershy gasped sadly. "What happened to it!?"

"I do not believe that it being hairless is a defect of any kind dearest Fluttershy, but a part of who his kind is."

"O-oh, I guess that's okay then. How is it?"

"It tells us because of another, he will be or is fine now and at his peak of health." Luna answered. "It is good that he made a full recovery, but it hurt this Alice he speaks of."

"Who's Alice, Luna?" Rarity asked.

"Tia and I believe it is a creature of tiny masses around and inside his body. It is how he can heal so quickly, but healing him after his crash took a toll on her."

"How can we help her if we cannot help this creature?" Fluttershy asked quietly.

"He did not give us much information about this Alice friend, but tomorrow in the morn we will return to speak to him to ask him more of her and how we might be able to assist both of them."

"I-is it alright....if I come too?....If that's alright with you Luna..."

Luna smiled with a nod. "Of course Fluttershy. Maybe you could do a little check-up on him to make sure he is fit to leave the hospital. You do know what a monkey's biology is right?"

"Of course!" Fluttershy said, her voice rising a little higher in volume. "Is there anything I should know about him before I see him. Anything that he isn't could harm him in anyway we might not be aware of! I don't want to hurt the poor thing."

"He says that his kind have evolved from sapiens. His spine is straighter and his skull isn't as crude."

Fluttershy sat still for a few moments, and then nodded. "Alright, I think I have a good idea. I will please tell me when you are ready to leave."

"Fluttershy are you sure you want to do this? What if he is dangerous?" Rarity asked, looking to Luna. "Is he Luna?"

She shook her head. "He has made a vow that he would not harm another unless another harms him. And you will have us there if he does do anything to break his vow. Though his name means nothing here, we must give him some trust if he is going to trust us in return."

Rarity sighed. "Okay Luna...I just don't want Fluttershy getting hurt, that is all."

"And I thank you for your concern Rarity." Fluttershy said with a kind smile. Her belly had made a rather loud noise, causing a could guards close by to look at the yellow mare with looks of shock before laughing.

Luna and Rarity started to giggle, and Fluttershy was hiding behind her long mane. Luna hugged the shy pony before saying, "It is alright Fluttershy, we haven't eaten all day either. Come, let us aid you in sating that beast inside your stomach." The joke was clear enough to make the shy pony laugh a little, coming out of her mane. "Ah, there is that beautiful face we all enjoy seeing." Fluttershy blushed a little.

Back in the hospital, Crew was still staring out of the window, but after the princesses had left, he started to cry. Alice, who was weak was unable to say much, leaving long spaces in conversations afterwards.

He looked down at his hands. They were still there, he could still see. That much he was thankful for.

"Crew..."

"Alice, rest you used a lot."

"You will need to tell them sooner or later."

"No..."

He could hear her huff. "Stupid....human..."

Crew, closed his eyes and gave a long sigh. His ears were picking up more of those horse-pony things talking. Some where asking who he was, and why the princess was so interested in speaking to him. Which made him question why too. Aren't there humans here? No, that couldn't be. Back on his world, horses weren't sentient, the solid brown eye with black dot to see out of proved him right. They only followed their instincts and memories they hardly kept unless repetition was a common occurrence. These ponies weren't like them. Their eyes were white and colored like a human's eyes.

"Crew..."

"Alice! Sleep! I command you!" Crew slammed his fist on the bed in anger. "SLEEP! REST YOURSELF!" He shouted.

"A-as you wish. I will be up tomorrow in the morning to wake you up."

Crew felt himself tear up. "Shut up you stupid AI..."

"Yes my human." He heard her chuckle. When he opened his eyes, he saw nothing once more, just empty darkness.

What he didn't want to tell the princesses was without Alice, he was blind, and he was born that way. He wasn't sure his eyes gave that away or not, but he was thankful that they didn't push for answers. He didn't know what he would do to keep that a secret. He rarely thought about the years he spent blind. It was a few months before the excitement from seeing everything was old news to him. His father was right, it is rather old to see everything.

He rolled over in his bed for a little while.

"Alice?"

"Yes Crew?"

"Can you play white noise for me?"

The noise started to play quietly inside of his head. It sounded like a small rainstorm. He wiped away a few tears and sniffed. "Thanks Ally..."

"You're very welcome. Goodnight my human."

As Crew went to sleep, Alice started repairs on herself while on standby mode. Her micro-squared processors working at creating new lines of biological repair codes and new micro drones to check for any signs of unstable cellular growth withing his organs. So far she found nothing other than a couple biological viruses that were new. She quickly went to work creating anti-bodies for them by capturing an infected cell and isolating the RNA strand.

It seemed to be a variation of the Influenza virus that she wasn't aware of. It had the same symptoms, but it was a tad bit more aggressive. Luckily her programming was quick enough to react to the virus, killing it completely off within two minutes. If she had a face, she was smiling to herself. So much has she assimilated into her systems that were of human emotions and reactions. Of course she was programmed to do so she might be better equipped to dealing with Crew.

Then, she started working through what memories she coded for later to be looked over. She did visual biological readings on the princesses, and found them to have high readings of energy...This is not good. She said to herself, moving her main micro-drone through the pathways of his neurons. She looked around for the right memory to match with her readings of the high energy signature.

They were slightly different, but they spiked at the same points. Just as I had thought... She moved back into his bloodstream. She was making sure most of herself were on standby mode. It seems that there was a high energy signature at the same time we entered this place. There are no signs of radio waves of any frequency. We could be in an entirely different world. Alice did a quick scan to see if Crew was sleeping, thankfully he was which might have explained how the heart was slowing down to a rested rate.

Now was her chance to try something she had in a beta. For the past two years, she had been trying to work on a code that would allow her to attach herself to a line of neurons in the part of his brain where it was most active while he was dreaming. So long has she wanted to know what he dreamed, what memories were plaguing him the most. She activated it once she was back once again inside of his brain.

After a few seconds of her own darkness she found herself in plane. Oh no..! She gasped. This was the first year she was inside of him. He and his mother were on a private plane to Australia to visit the Sydney Opera House. She knew this memory herself most of all. This was the first time she had to save his life. It was only minutes, perhaps seconds.

She saw a butler, who looked rather tan, walk up next to Crew. "Good evening sir. Would you like anything to drink?"

Crew shook his head. "No thanks, why don't you get yourself something?"

"I cannot, I might get fired if I do."

Crew waved his hand with a happy smile. "Mom, this man may get a drink. He has my permission."

"Thanks wonderfully nice of you Crew." She said with her own smile.

Crew's mother was a very pale woman with blond hair and dark blue eyes, so dark in fact they almost looked black. She was very fit, but didn't have the muscles. She was always very nice and helpful. She even trained Crew how to echo locate. While he was blind.

Crew smiled back at the butler. "See, no problem dude. Go, relax a little, we still got an hour before we land. One glass of wine won't hurt."

He bowed. "Thank you very much ma'am and sir." He walked off with almost a skip to his step.

Crew laughed, shaking his head. "Everyone needs a stiff drink..."

Crew's mother nodded. "Indeed, so how is your AI today?"

"I'm fine, thank you for asking Freya."

Freya smiled. "Wonderful!"

Before she knew it, the memory blacked out to nothingness. Must be dreaming something else... She followed through to the next memory. It was black, but she heard clicks meaning this was before Crew could see.

In a childish voice Crew was laughing happily. "Stop it mom!" He laughed, happy tears running down his face.

"Never! Not if the Dread Pirate Freya has anything to say about it. TICKLE ATTACK! Arrrgggggh!"

Crew exploded into a fit of laughter. If Alice could, she would be crying. He was dreaming of his mother, what brought this on, she hoped it wasn't herself that had done it. "St-top! MOMMY STOP!" He laughed. "I'm going to pee!"

Crew's mom had seemed to stop, she was laughing along with him. She held him close as he clicked the roof of his mouth with his toung. "So Crew, your birthday's coming up. What do you want this year?"

"More books!" He answered. "About Jets and planes and super fast engines!"

"Do you want to able to read them, do you want me to?"

"You! Your voice is super pretty!"

"Aw...Thanks Crew..." Then, everything stopped. Crew was starting to wake up again.

She moved back into the blood, and just let the flow of it take her. She had much to think on. The voice of his mother and Celestia's were...extremely similar, scary even. More research is needed... Next Chapter: Chapter 3: A Whole New World~! Estimated time remaining: 51 Minutes
