P.O.V. Twilight Sparkle.

“Awe my head," I groaned while sitting up on what appeared to be a bed and holding a hoof to my throbbing skull. "I feel like I got hit by a Minotaur."

“Twilight!” I heard a mix of cheerful voices greeting me.

“Girls, where am I? What hit me? HA! WHERE ARE THE CHANGLINGS?!” I screamed, worried about what had just transpired during the wedding.

“Twilight darling, everything’s fine,” Rarity answered with a happy tone.

“Yeah Twi, the changelings are gone,” responded Rainbow.

“They are?” I asked out of confusion while watching my friends shake their heads up and down. “So how did I get here?”

“Well sugar cube, you remember that thing on two legs that was helping us fight the changelings?”

“Yeah,” I said in response to Applejacks question.

“Well, you were hit by a magic attack; he did this thing with some green goop and took you to Canterlot ER.”

“Green goop? AAAH! AM I POISONED?” I said panicking while patting myself down.

“No Twilight, the doctor said you are going to be fine,” responded a familiar voice.

I looked at the voice, “Princess Celestia,” I said while bowing my head. “What are you doing here?”

“I came to check up on my star student,” she said with that motherly voice of hers.

“So what happened to the changelings?” I asked out of curiosity.

“Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor drove them out of Canterlot,” she said while walking up to the bed.

“And what of the two legged creature we ran into?”

“It passed out after dropping you off at the hospital. The doctors couldn’t do anything for it, so I had it and you transferred here to the castle to be monitored.”

“Is that the safest thing to do Princess?” I asked with a hint of worry.

“Twilight, he saved our lives, and he helped us fight the changelings,” Rarity said in response to my question.

“Princess?” I asked looking her right in the eyes.

“It’s alright Twilight, I'll deal with it while you get some rest.”

“If you say so,” I looked down at the sheets on the bed, still worried, “Wait, what about that dog it had, where is she?” I asked with my fear beginning to show.

“I put Fluttershy in charge of her.”

“Fluttershy?” I looked over at my yellow friend with confusion.

She looked at me and in a happy tone said, “Oh she’s very friendly Twilight. She told me her name is Storm and that she enjoys having her belly rubbed.”

“Really?” she nodded her head in response, “But it was so vicious; I would have thought that it would try to eat us.”

“Oh no Twilight, like I said she’s very friendly.”

“Okay… but Fluttershy please be careful, I don’t want you getting hurt,” I said in a serious tone.

“Don’t worry Twilight, I’ll be safe.”

I looked around the room; curiosity began to fill my head as I began to wonder. ‘What is it? What was that metal thing that flew by? Why did it help us? And why did it save me?’ I heard Princess Celestia speak up.

“Well Twilight, I’ll let you get some rest. I’m glad to see that you are alright,” she began to step out of the room until I spoke up.

“Wait, Princess?”

“Yes Twilight?”

“Would it be possible for me to see this creature?”

As I was being wheeled down the hall with my friends and the Princess, I could barely hide my curiosity. We rounded the corner where I saw my brother and Cadence.

“Twily! I’m glad to see that you’re alright,” my brother said with joy in his voice.

When we reached them, I give him a hug before I turned to Cadence.

“Hi Cadence.”

“Hi Twilight, how are you feeling?” she asked with a hint of worry.

“I’m fine Cadence, just a little sore.”

She let out a relieved sigh, “That’s good to hear,” this time she sounded a little more relaxed.

“So Twilight, what are you doing here?” asked my brother.

“Actually Shiny, I want to see the creature,” I told him.

He looked at me and with worry in his voice, “Twilight, I don’t think that the best idea.”

“It’s quite alright Captain,” responded Celestia.

He dropped his head and looked to the side, “Yes your majesty.”

He opened the door and took a step inside followed by Cadence, Princess Celestia, me, and my friends. As we entered the room I saw the being lying on its back and watched what I presumed was its chest rising and falling. After taking a few seconds to look the being over I looked at Celestia.

“So how is it doing?” I asked.

“We don’t know Twilight. The doctors can’t seem to get a diagnosis. They can’t get through its tough skin to take blood or to place an I.V. in,” The princess paused for a moment, “As of right now, it appears to be in stable condition.”

“Interesting," I rubbed my chin, "So what do we know about it?”

“Its height is 6 feet 5 inches tall, and weighs approximately 200 pounds, and has a skin that is as tough as a dragons hide,” responded the princess.

My brother spoke up and said, “And it has these weird weapons. We can’t figure out what the large long one made of metal does or what the smaller one does either, but it had what we can clearly classify as a sword.”

My eyes widened a little in interest, “And where are these weapons?” I asked with more curiosity.

“In the armory.” responded my brother, “And no you can’t examine them. We don’t know what they can do yet,” he said while giving me a stern look.

“Fine,” I crossed my forelegs and looked off to the side. After a second I looked back at the being; ‘I have so many questions I want to ask it.’

“Princess, is it alright if I stay here and examine it for a while?”

“Absolutely not! I will not let my sister get hurt a second time!” ordered my brother sternly.

I put a hoof to my chest, “But it saved me Shiny; if it wakes up, I don’t think it will harm me,” I said defending myself.

“Twilight it’s too risky, I will no-” I heard Celestia interrupt him

“Captain, its fine.”

“WHAT!?” he responded with anger in his voice while he looked at Celestia.

“I believe that Twilight may be right about this, it saved her and her friends. I believe that it won’t hurt her or her friends,” the princess stated with a hint of authority.

She looked down at me and said, “But Twilight, if it turns out that this creature is hostile. I want you to have the elements at the ready, we don’t need to risk having another attack on Canterlot in less than a week.”

“Yes princess," I looked at my friends, "Girls you know what to do,” I ordered.

They all responded with a nod of their heads while they said, “Uh huh.”

“Alright Twilight, I’ll retrieve the elements for you and your friends.”

“Thank you Princess,” I said with joy in my voice.

“Captain, I want you and Cadence to take the rest of the day off,” Celestia said while looking at the new couple.

“Princess, I don’t think that’s the best idea,” Shiny answered with a hint of worry.

“Its fine your majesty, you’ve been through a lot the last few hours. You could use the rest, and I’m sure Cadence would love the attention,”

She gave him a wink.

His face glowed bright red. I couldn’t help but giggle.

Cadence spoke up and in a seductive tone said, “Come on Captain; let’s go have a little fun,” his blush grew even bigger.

He forced out a response, “Y-yes Cadence.”

I giggled some more as I watched them leave the room, with Celestia following close behind. Leaving my friends and I alone in the room.

I looked over to my friends and asked, “So girls, what do you think about this whole situation?”

“I don’t know sugar cube,” responded Applejack, she was defiantly confused and a little worried.

“Yeah, I mean the changelings are gone but now there’s this thing,” said Rainbow while pointing toward the creature “I mean, it pointed that small metal thing at me and threatened my life!” she said while holding her hooves to her chest.

“He was only trying to help Rainbow,” responded Rarity.

“He was hurting Twilight, I wasn’t just going to sit there!” she retaliated.

“RD relax.”

“How can I relax AJ! You saw what this thing can do, he probably killed half the changeling army!”

Rarity jumped in trying to defuse the situation. “But he saved us, and probably all of Canterlot.”

“Yeah but… *sigh* I guess you’re right,” Rainbow crossed her forelegs before she landed on the floor, knowing full well that this argument was getting nowhere.

I looked over at Fluttershy and asked her a question, “So Fluttershy, what do you think about this?”

“I don’t know Twilight. I mean, I’m glad that it helped us, but I’m still pretty scared. Look how big it is,” she said, pointing toward the creature.

“Yeah it is pretty large," I looked over at Pinkie "Pinkie, you seem unusually quiet, what do you think?”

“I don’t know Twilight; personally I think it’s an alien from another world. HA! Should I throw it a welcome to Equestria Party?! Or a Thank You for saving us Party?!”

I know Pinkie can be odd at times, but there was one thing that was clear to me.

“Pinkie, aliens don’t exist.”

“Are you sure Twilight? It’s pretty spooky looking.”

“Well look at those colors, so dark a dreary,” Rarity said, jumping into the conversation.

“Yes Pinkie, I’m sure,” I deadpanned while giving her a bemused look.

“So Twilight, what do you think it is?” asked Rainbow.

“Maybe a new type of dragon,” I said while trying to reassure my worried friends. But truth be told, I didn’t know what it was. When Rainbow, Rarity and I followed Spike when he went on his little quest, I wanted to learn more about wild dragons. But this creature didn’t look anything like a dragon, it lacked scales, teeth, claws, and a tail.

We sat for a moment in silence, lost in our thoughts. I began hear hoof steps coming down the hall. I looked up to see Princess Celestia walk in with the chest that contained the Elements of Harmony.

She opened the chest and began to distribute the elements to their owners with her magic while she said, “Her you are girls, and remember I want you ready in case this being turns out to be dangerous.”

“We won’t let you down Princess,” I answered with confidence.

“Thank you Twilight. Now, I suggest you all go and get something to eat, you’ve all been through a pretty rough day,” she said.

I looked out the window and noticed at the sun was significantly lower in the sky. Rainbow grabbed my wheelchair and we headed out the door. We worked our way down the long hall to the dining room in total silence. I could tell that my friends were scared, I was too. That creature destroyed half, if not most of the changeling army, but he also threated Rainbow’s life. It was a force to be reckoned with, but then again, it did save my life, along with my friend’s lives too.

I whispered to myself, “*sigh*… I don’t know what to think.”

It felt nice to have a full belly, but dinner was an awkward one. We didn’t talk much and anything we did say went straight back to either the changeling attack or the creature that was located in the medical wing. Anyway, Rainbow wheeled me to my room and we said our good nights. I rolled myself in and lied down on the bed, placing the crown on the nightstand. I rapped the covers around me and closed my eyes. I was way more tired than I thought, because next thing I knew it was the next morning.

Author's Notes:

So I had a hard time grasping Pinkie's personality so I kept her a little more quiet than what may be portrayed in the show.
