-Day before portal opens to Log Horizon-

When Celestia informed the citizens of Canterlot/Ponyville they were fine about the situation because Celestia, Luna and the Elements of Harmony can stop anything if the situation turns south. Frank filled me up with an anime lesson of what was suppose to come to me. The reason why I needed this lesson is because the six anime that are suppose to come once a month, I have no recollection of memories about any of them. The anime, Log Horizon, is about Shiroe and his friends get trapped in a video game called Elder Tales. Together with his friends, Naotsugu and Akatsuki have to adjust to life in the ruins of virtual Japan (which is where the server they're on is set). Frank told me about the story and it was mentally in my head, but when Frank left, Luna had other plans.

"Jayden I need to talk to you." She said.

I look at her face and she wasn't impressed. Did I piss her off? What did I do? I shook my head mentally and sighed.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

She smiled, "No, it is time for your magic lessons."

I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean? I am a Pegasus; am I not?"

"Yes you are a Pegasus, but with the power to use magic." She said.

I was now confused and Luna saw this too. "I am not sure what you mean." I said honestly. It was the truth, I watched bits and pieces of the show, My Little Pony, myself and there were no Pegasus's using magic like unicorns. Unless it is something that was outside the show we didn't know about. Frank said this to me once and to never repeat it around other ponies. 'We might know this world, but it might not be exactly true. What I mean is we didn't know who Derpy was when one episode showed her and never did again. Then we see her again being a mail mare which is something we didn't even know.' The sentence was in my head and it was repeating over and over. I understood what it meant and with Pegasi using magic is something I didn't anticipate.

Luna and I were currently in my room cuddling one another while we were having the discussions of the magic lessons. Her body radiating heat was keeping my front hooves and body warm, while her wing span covered my back side. I was getting spoiled, but I needed to make it up for her because it felt weird for a women... Er... Mare to take care of a guy like this. I needed to talk to Celestia about what she likes so I can surprise her. With this in mind I also could ask her about her favorite wine, and restaurants. I felt the warmth becoming cold and I shivered a bit. I blinked my eyes open to see that Luna was getting out of bed and was smiling at me.

"Jayden, I have to go another tutoring session." She said.

I nodded, "Is it Trixie again?"

"Yes, her magic is improving more so. She said she wouldn't be able to join me tonight for personal reasons, but she has enough time to squeeze in a lesson in the afternoon." She stated.

I yawned a bit as I slowly made my way out of the warm fortress that was my bed. It was annoying, but I needed to collect my pay check for it was pay day. In fact it was my first pay day since I got here in Equestria. Usually pay checks would come once or twice a month, but this only comes at the end of the second month.... It was either that the Guards get paid a huge amount of bits or that their pay checks were combined for the end of these months. I only been working as a Strategist for about two in a half months or so. I also been kidnapped, killed, then resurrected and still didn't get any payment. I wasn't pissed per say, but I was confused in a sense.

I shook my head and peck Luna's cheek, "Have a nice time."

She nuzzled my cheek, "Thanks Jayden. Have a nice day with your pay check." She winked.

'I wonder what she meant by that?' I thought. I didn't think of anything of it and made my way towards the throne room to collect my salary. I was told by Luna that Celestia would personally give me my salary pay. While that was fine and dandy, I was getting use to the guards around me. Hell! I got ninety percent of the guards respect due to the end of the battle of Blueblood and I; that he pissed himself when I left the area. I was glad that I was accepted so quickly into this place compared to.... I sighed when those thoughts of the past sort of gloom my mind, but I shook my head and trotted towards the room.

Being a Pegasus really has it's benefits, for one, I lost over two hundred pounds (fourteen stone). I lost this because a Pegasus is suppose to weigh around less than one hundred pounds (seven stone) to be able to fly around without baring any weight. It made me happy to think that I was given a second chance for to watch what I ate for my body was.... Decent. It took me a while to get my mind set to walk on all fours because when I get up in the morning, I would walk on my back hooves as if I am still biped. Though after the part Luna taught me how to fly and it feels so good when I was in the air. Feeling the wind against my hair... mane (these pony translations will end me for sure), the noise going through my ears, and most of all the beautiful view from above.

While I was dreaming, I caught attention of the door to the throne room and entered. Celestia wasn't busy and was going through some paperwork; it wasn't as thick before, but the paper seemed longer. Before I spoke, Celestia levitated an envelope to my right wing and I caught it with my feather. Wings had another benefit, they can be used as a pair of hands that felt like if they were in ten layers of gloves.

"Here is your pay check Jayden." Celestia said.

"Thank you Princess, but I would like to ask you something." I said.

She sets down her stack of papers to the side and faces me, "What is it my Strategist?"

'I'll try to make this less awkward than it has to be.' I thought. Though I jinxed myself when I suddenly bit my tongue. I quickly recovered and get straight to the question.

"Can you write down a list of what Luna likes. I would like to show her a good time." I said.

Celestia grinned, "Why Jayden, that is very thoughtful of you, but I already did that. It is in your envelope and is filled with details about my sister."

I was shocked when she already did this... It's like she knows...

"I know what my little ponies need once in a while." She said.

'Well shit... She's a mind reader.' I thought.

I bowed towards Celestia before making my leave, but was stopped, by her voice, "Oh, before you go." My head turns to face her, "Make sure you open that letter in your room and I already made a bank account for you, your code is in the letter."

"Thank you." I said leaving the room.

I made it back to my room and like the princess said, I closed the door, draped the curtains and ripped open the letter with my right wing. Two papers were in it; one was the list Celestia promised me and second was the check of.... I held my breath once again.

-Frank's point of view-

"That takes care of the reorganizing the books... Again." I said.

Twilight smiled as she wiped sweat from her forehead with her wing, "I really do appreciated it and now we can get started on some dark magic."

I chuckled, "When we get done with that; care to go out for dinner, my treat."

Before Twilight could say anything, the ground started to shake and it was familiar from somewhere, but couldn't put my finger... er hoof on it. Then the loud wise words gave me a flash back of when I first arrived here with my friends.

"FUCK A DUCK!!!! DUCK!! DUCK!! Duck!! duck!!" Jayden Shouted to the heavens.

I look at the calendar and today was pay day. I smirked when I imagined what was going through his mind when he got the check.

Twilight looked concerned, "Did something happen to Jayden again?"

I shook my head, "No, he was surprised that he would got paid over four million bits which is a lot back at home."

Her ears perked up, "Oh. Oh! I forgot about the system of money in your world was different from ours.... Seriously minimum wage for seven to eight fifty?"

I nodded, "Only if your didn't have a better education before hand."

"Is he going to be alright with the amount of money he has?"

I look out the window with Canterlot in view with the beam coming down at it, "I think he is going to be just fine."

-Shiroe's point of view, Log Horizon's arrival today- (Episode 9: Changing the Battle field)

Luseat the seventh Garden changed his attack pattern and devastated the field party, but that wasn't the worse of it. When we got Luseat down to fifty percent, two more bosses show up into the battlefield. Taltaulgar of the Fourth Garden and Ibrahabra of the Third Garden—enter Luseat's zone and begin laying waste to the battlefield. There was nothing I could do when our raid party died to something that seemed unfair. I needed to think of what to do next, but suddenly memories of my past self when I was in the real world came into my mind. It immediately ended when I landed on a beach like surface, I look around to see earth or Elder Tale earth to be exact. It seems that we're on the moon of Elder Tales. It was weird to see water and sand on the moon for it was unnatural, but I couldn't complain because I didn't want to get blinded by the white surface of the real moon. To my right I see Akatsuki with me, before we could say anything we both got engulfed in a beam of light. Neither Akatsuki or I knew where were going to be teleported next.

-Jayden's point of view-

Last night I went into a mode of excitement; one was the four million bits, which I didn't spend in one go, that I was paid for the job I have. Two I went on a shopping spree to get what Luna likes and what I wanted that peaked my interest. After shopping I stuffed everything into a closet so Luna wouldn't find it. Next morning, I awaken as a rich man... Pegasus. It was early in the morning and Luna's moon was still up, but was setting as Celestia's sun was slowly being raised from the other side of the mountain.

I stretched my muscles and walked to the garden area where the maze was. The beam of light was still going and hitting the ground, but something was different. When the sun's light hit the beam it flickered. Then it turned a green color, but suddenly back to white. I blinked when I saw this, but all of a sudden two figures flew out of the beam onto the ground in front of my feet. 'Note to self: Tell Frank that the beam sends people from different worlds early in the morning.' I thought. What lay before me was Shiroe and Akatsuki from Log Horizon. From the looks of it no one else is getting through. I guess you need more memory energy to get more characters.... Just a theory... Not fact.... Anyway they were in regular clothing which made me raise an eyebrow, but Frank told me before that they originally were in the Human world or anime world Japan. I sighed inwardly and looked at them as they sat up on their bottoms.

Akatsuki, who was the short girl, was sitting on the floor pointing at my general direction, "Shiroe, there is a Pegasus..." She said, but mumbled something that I couldn't catch.

I cleared my throat, "I am so glad you named it correctly instead of calling us horses."

Shiroe raised his glasses towards his temple, reflecting the beam's light making his eyes not visible, "Interesting." Was all he said.

It was odd that they were accepting this so well, but then I saw Shiroe's skin turn pale... Well he is trying to control his outburst of fear.

I walked towards them trying to have a conversation, "My name is Jayden, the Royal Strategist of the Lunar night guard."

It seemed that Shiroe recovered when I said I was a strategist. He got up, patted off the grass from his pants and spoke, "My name is Shiroe," He leads his hand to Akatsuki, "This is Akatsuki, my friend."

She bows and stands on her feet, "I don't mean to ask you this, but where are we?"

I sighed, "Well I am here to inform you all with several things. Could we make conversation over on breakfast?"

"Breakfast?" Shiroe asked, "I thought it was dinner time?"

Akatsuki spoke, "That's right it is passed dinner, but why is it day now?"

I smiled, "All will be explained. Now if you would please?" I waved a hoof and walked towards the kitchen. I looked behind me and found that they were following me with the beam of light in the background.

I had the chef prepare some breakfast and some tea for our inter-dimensional guests. They sat across me when I took a seat and I explained everything. From my friends and I coming here to Equestria, originally human, me getting kidnapped and memories taken away (excluded me dying and coming back to life). I also explained the possibility that we live in is a world of entertainment and that they live in their world where we watch for our entertainment. It seems that they believed what I said and I told them they can return anytime by just stepping into the beam. When we finished the tea and breakfast, Shiroe sighed.

"Is something the matter my lord?" Akatsuki asked.

He looks at her and waves, "No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something."

She tilts her head in confusion when Luna stepped into the room. "Oh. Are you the outworlders?" She asked.

Akatsuki was blushing when she saw Luna and her face was expressionless, but was pointing at her specifically.

I raised an eyebrow, "Akatsuki? Do you like ponies?"

Her head turns slightly and suddenly got serious, "How did you know?"

I raised my hooves, "You were kind of showing it through your expressions."

She got back to a sitting position and was twirling her fingers, "Back when I was ten, I always loved ponies, but then I grew up and after I graduated, I played Elder Tale as a ninja."

Luna was right next to her, "Would you like to come with me, Akatsuki?"

She nodded and excused herself from Shiroe. I smiled a bit and waved at them when they left the room.

"So will you tell me what's on your mind? You can trust me." I stated.

Shiroe was silent and was holding his hand on his forehead making his glasses shimmer in the sunlight. "I was currently in a raid with my other members and we were trying to achieve something. Though it backfired when we made it to the final boss of the garden. We were being devastated when the boss changed its attack patterns and summoned the fourth and third boss to join up with the seventh."

"That's a bit unfair if you would ask me."

He smiled, "It is not suppose to be easy, but I need to figure out how to take care of everybody in the raid."

"What are you guys after?" I asked.

"That unfortunately is none of your business, but I would like to ask for advise as a strategist on the issue."

Back when I was living in England, I was video gamer; whether it be PC games or console games, I would play anything. I developed more of an instinct when it came to defeating certain level bosses, but when it came to Elder Tales.... I had no preference to it. It was all thanks to Despairs machine that I cannot remember anything about their world entirely.

'Well I guess we need to start somewhere.' I thought.

"When does the seventh change his attack pattern?" I asked.

Shiroe and I exchange advise to one another as fellow strategists from complete different dimensions in this world of Equestria. I would hopefully use this advise in the future when a problem comes along in Canterlot, Ponyville or anywhere.

It was getting close to the end of the day, Luna, Akatsuki, Shiroe and I were at the maze where the beam was located. It glowed the same color of green and I smiled at the villain behind the glasses. Akatsuki had something in her hair, it was a hair clip of a crescent moon keeping her hair in a pony tail.

"Akatsuki, that hair clip looks good on you." Shiroe said.

Akatsuki blushed and looked at Luna who winked at her. 'Ah. So you gave her some advice did you?' I thought. I cleared my throat to get their attentions.

"Got everything you need?" I asked.

Shiroe gets his hand to push up the glasses to a comfortable position, "I thank you for the information exchange, Jayden."

"It wasn't too much of a problem. I guess you need to get back to your friends." I said.

Akatsuki nodded, "Yes, I believe it is night time there or close to morning."

"Let's not keep your friends waiting any longer. Shiroe, Akatsuki, it was nice to meet you two. I hope everything goes well in Elder Tales." Luna said.

"That would be Akihabara, Luna." I corrected, she puffed her cheeks, but I continued, "Good luck to you, fellow Strategist."

Akatsuki stepped into the beam of light and Shiroe stopped to look back, "You too." With that they enter the beam and I sighed in relief. For one, I hope that I didn't affect the plot in anyway; two, really want them to stay because my heart was wanting them to stay put.

"You ready to come back, Jayden?" Luna asked, breaking my train of thought.

'I need to get the preparations ready.' I thought. I smiled, "Yes, lets do that, but before we do, what were you and Akatsuki doing?"

She walked passed me with her wing seductively touching mine which made me shiver, "It's ears only a mare should understand, in other words its a secret." She winked an stick out her tongue doing so.

I frown, "You're no fun."

She giggled, "I know I am, but I don't care!" She trotted and skipped away from me. I followed along and skipped like she did. Luna giggled when I did this, we ended our fun time when entering the castle. I separated from Luna by kissing her cheek so I can set up our little special date that made the closet bulge.

Author's Notes:

I know that Shiroe didn't have much of an appearance, but I have a big reason for it! Jayden had to readjust to the living of Canterlot after being murdered in the Griffon Empire. Also where the plot was in Log Horizon; that episode was the only time I could use to make this crossover work. Hope that is alright for everybody.
