The story of Xander
Chapter 3: Chapter 2- So, what now?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe sun peacefully sat in the sky on this fine day, shining all over the land of Equestria and it inhabitants, especially on some of the new ones.
The Sun shined into Xanders eyes, causing him to roll around and get up. He yawned and stretched, causing his back to pop loudly. Xander smiled and said "that feels so much better!" He said referring to his back "First time sleeping in a different world is a success." He continued while getting up and gathering the clothes on the ground. Xander put the clothes on and said "I may smell a little, but I will have to collect some materials for my daily activities, I might gather up the boys and head to Raritys place for a new set of clothes" he said while opening the door and exiting into the hallway of the upstairs of Twilights library. Xander ventured forth down the stairs and saw Twilight and here assistant she believed it was.
Twilight heard Xander and turned to face him "Good morning, Xander!" She said as she beamed happily.
Xander smiled to the warm welcome and responded "Good morning, Twi." He said happily.
Twilight giggled and said "nice to see you're comfy enough to call me a nickname." She finished with a contented sigh.
Xander smirked and said "yup, I've gotta grow accustom to this new world, so I better make a good name for myself." He finished with a happy sigh.
Twilight nodded and moved onto a different subject "You need to meet my assistant, Spike. He may act up sometimes but he's harmless!" She said while patting the mini dragon on the head.
Spike wore an irritated expression and said "Twilight! I'm not a kid anymore!" He said with aggravation in his voice.
Xander smiled and stuck his hand out to Spike "nice to meet you pal!" He said with a friendly tone.
Spike seemed to lighten up when Xander did that "Nice to meet you too, mister" he said while shaking His hand.
Xander chuckled "You've got a nice grip pal!" He said trying to make Spike feel more grown up "you've probably gotten it by doing so much cleaning up around here!" He finished with a laugh and let go of Spikes hand.
Spike smiled wide and posed "yeah, I've gotta keep build these bad boys!" He said while flexing his muscles.
Xander laughed and said "Remind me not to ever mess with you!" He finished while putting his hands up in a playful manner.
Twilight giggled and said "Alright you two, I think you guys have made a good impression on each other" she said while looking at Xander kindly "Now, Spike, I want you to go and help Rarity out at the boutique, I'm sure she'll have some prepping to do for some clothes." She said trying to have Spike willingly leave.
Spike had a smile as wide as a mile "Sure thing Twilight!" He dado while bolting out of the door.
Xander laughed and said "he must enjoy helping her, huh?" He asked with his arms crossed.
Twilight giggled and responded "He has a crush on her, so when the two are around each other, he acts love struck." She said while making a pose of love.
Xander shook his head "Moving onto more important things, what are we gonna be doing to day?" He said while hoping her to say something that involves his hygiene being cleaned up.
Twilight smiled and responded "we are gonna have to get you a few things for comfort, things that you feel will comfort you." She said while smiling warmly at him.
Xander fist pumped in his head and said "Great! I'm ready to go now so I can take a shower!" He spoke with a excited tone.
Twilight giggled at his reaction "well, we better head out, there will be a few things you need." She said while opening the door.
Xander followed her and stepped outside of the library. He was greeted by the bright sun and a array of bright colors "yup, still as colorful and bright as before!" He said with a chipper tone.
Twilight smiled at him and continued forth, it appeared she was leading for the shop the read 'The daily needs shop'
Xander read it and chuckled " That's a very straight forward name, oh well, at least you can guess what they have." He said to himself quietly.
The two entered the store and were greeted by a few odd looks, it was expected due to Xamder being a new creature. They roamed through the store collecting supplies like shampoo, some blankets, a comb, bar soap, a pillow, and deodorant.
Xander held the basket of supplies while standing in line, he was wearing a smile due to Twilight being so kind to him. "Thank you, Twi." He said with a thankful tone.
Twilight smiled warmly "you're welcome, Xander, I wouldn't ever make a guest have to go without any creature comforts." She finished with a wide smile.
Xander showed her a appreciating smirk before putting the basket of materials onto the counter.
The sales associate looked at the human for a few seconds before giving Twilight the check.
Twilight smiled and pain the worker, before walking out with Xander and the supplies.
Xander observed the surroundings, he saw the botique, Sugar Cube Corner, Ponyvilles club, and some of the neat residential houses.
Twilight saw Xander looking around and smiled "There are a lot of hangouts around here, but I would say my favorite one to go to with my friends is the Ponyville club." She said while walking to their destination.
Xander nodded and responded "maybe one day, we can all go there?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Twilight beamed and said "we can go this weekend! Everypony should be clear of any activities this weekend." She finished with friendly tone.
Xander laughed and spoke "I'm sure everyone will want to go, we enjoy hanging out while doing fun activities." He said while looking a the library coming up.
Twilight nodded, agreeing with him on that. She opened the door and said "well, I suppose you can get bathe and then gather the others to go and get some clothes made for you to wear." She said while letting Xander in.
Xander walked inside and smiled "yup! I've been craving this shower ever since last night!" He said with joy while walking up the stairs and towards the bathroom. Xander proceeded to open the door and walk in, he moved to the shower, turned it on, and turned back to set his materials down on the bathroom sink. Xander undressed, got into the warm shower, and felt the water wash away the dirt and grime on his flesh. Xander sighed with content while scrubbing his body down with soap and shampoo. He eventually got done washing himself but instead of getting out, he sat down in the tub and let the hot water run on his skin. He started to review the events that have happened "wow, how am I able to keep calm? In fact, how have we all not panicked and run away? I don't know, I guess it's just peacefulness here, it's contagious, I suppose at least." He finished, letting the water hit his back.
There was a knock on the door "Xander? Your friends are here, they're ready to get fitted for clothing." Twilight said through the door.
Xander turned off the shower and responded "I'll be out in a minute." Xander said loud enough for her to hear, he heard her hooves click off in the hall.
After a few minutes of him styling his hair by spiking it up in the front with the hair gel Twilight bought for him, he came out of the bathroom with the same outfit, he walked down the stairs to be greeted by his friends that were sitting on the couch.
Jerald smirked "looks like Mrs. Sunshine has finally gotten done getting ready!"
Xander playfully punched Jerald on his shoulder and said "yeah, yeah, screw you too dude." He said smiling.
Justin threw up his arms "I'm ready to get clothes! I don't want to sit here any longer!" He said trying to rush everything.
Xander shook his head and smiled "alright! I get it!" He then turned to Twilight and said "I suppose I'll be back in a few hours"
Twilight smiled "I was thinking about you all meet us girls at la trattoria near sugar cube corner for dinner" she said to all of them.
Xander nodded "Sounds good, I'll see you then" he then moved to the door to walk out of it. He was greeted by a slightly dimmer setting 'how long was I in there? It looks to be about four now' he thought to himself.
The group of humans walked to the boutique owned by Rarity and headed inside. They were greeted by the door chiming and hooves hitting the ground.
"Ah! I've been waiting for you all!" They heard Rarity say coming into view.
Jerald nodded "yup, exactly how long do you think this will take?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Rarity tapped her chin for a few moments before speaking "well, I need to measure which won't take to long, but I will make one outfit for each of you, which will take a few hours, I'll make more outfits but I will have them for you by tomorrow afternoon!" She said with a chipper tone.
Austen finally spoke and said "Well! I guess all we can do while we wait is well, wait!" He said stating the obvious.
They all looked at him with unamused expressions.
Jerald sighed and stepped up for his measurements.
It took a second before getting the idea for the measurements of the pants, she looked confused for the shirt before doing multiple measurements so she could get a good fit. After she did Jerald she did the others without any complications before speaking "I have a good idea for what colors will look good on you all!" She said before walking into the back.
The boys sat around for a few minutes before hearing Austen speak.
"I spy... Something blue." Austen said trying to speed up the process.
Xander looked before spotting the blue and black dress "that dress?" He guessed.
Austen smiled "yup! Now it's your turn!" He said waiting for Xander to spot something.
Xander looked and saw a pair of red glasses on the table "I spy something red." He said waiting for them to guess.
They looked around before Justin spoke up.
"Those glasses" Justin guessed
Xander nodded and said "now it's your turn"
Justin smirked and said "I spy something stupid" he kept wearing his smirk.
Xander caught onto who he was referring to, he saw him looking right at Austen, he matched Justin's smirk and said "Why'd you call yourself stupid Justin?" He said before laughing.
Justins smirk fell and he sighed in defeat "It was, Austen, not me" he said before exhaling.
The boys continued to play little games like that for a few hours before Rarity walked back into the area.
Rarity handed each of them outfits that really matched their appearances "I think these clothes will suit you all very well!" She said with a wide smile.
They all examined them and they all had a smile on their face.
Xander really enjoyed his outfits look, it was a bright red T shirt that had been built with soft materials, she had constructed him a pair of dark blue jeans to go along with it.
Austen got a dark grey T shirt along with a pair of regular blue jeans.
Jerald received a blue and white baseball tee accompanied with a pair of beige pants.
Justin got a cream white T shirt along side some beige cargo shorts.
Rarity looked at them waiting for their opinions on the outfits.
Xander smiled and said "thank you, Rarity. These clothes loo, really good, in fact, I'm going to wear them now" he finished before going into the changing room.
The rest of them said essentially the same thing as Xander, but while they took turns changing Rarity headed out to go on ahead to the restaurant they were all meeting up at.
Jerald looked into the mirror "damn, look at that sexy beast!" He said complimenting himself.
Austen laughed and said "why are you calling me sexy dude?" He said standing behind him.
Jerald tuned around and dead panned at Austen "that's gay." He said plainly.
Austen laughed "exactly!" He said before walking out of the door, heading towards the restaurant.
Jerald and Justin followed him a few seconds later.
Xander sighed and stared at himself in the mirror "I've gotta pay Rarity back when I get a job. I wonder if any of the girls know anyone hiring in repairing machines?" He said before heading out of the door.
They all eventually found the restaurant and went inside. They looked for the girls before finding them at a big table. They all sat down and ordered drinks before talking to them.
Twilight leaned to Xander and said "that outfit really suits you." She complimented.
Xander smiled and said "thanks, Twi. Rarity did a really good job on our clothes." He said wearing the same smile.
Twilight smiled and said "while you were gone I found some books for you to check out, I know you said you liked some history so I went ahead and got you some books about historical legends." She said with her usual warm smile.
Xander rubbed her head "thank you, that should give me something to do if I get bored." He said still rubbing her head, not realizing what he was doing.
Twilight didn't seem to mind about him rubbing her head and said "yeah, I thought I would just help you out since you were to busy getting clothes made." She said with a kind tone.
Xander then remembered and asked "actually, I was wondering if you knew anyone hiring?" He asked with a curiosity.
Twilight perked up hearing this "work? I think you may want to slow down a bit, you just got here! I'm sure Applejack could use some help, but other than her you may want to make yourself known to Equestria." She xplained.
Xander realized it was only his second day and he was looking for jobs 'why have I been so welcoming of this change? Maybe I truly did want to start over....' He thought to himself. Xander looked at Twi and smiled "you're right, I need to take a step back and make myself accustom to everypony else." He said to her. 'Hey! I didn't mess up on saying everypony!' He thought to himself happily.
Twilight nodded "Exactly, let me worry about a source of income and you worry about becoming a citizen of Equestria." She told him with a voice filled with pure kindness.
Xander smiled at her and took a sip of his drink. 'Why is she being so kind? Is that just how these ponies are?' He thought to himself.
Jerald grabbed Xanders attention and said "Xander! Please tell them I can squat six-hundred and twenty-five pounds!" He said with a boasting tone.
Xander laughed and shook his head yes "yes, it is true, Jerald can squat that." Xander finished with a smile.
Jerald snapped back around towards Rainbow Dash "see!" He boasted around.
Rainbow Dash shook her head in denial "No way! There's no way a two legged human can withstand as much weight as me!"
The waitress brought the food and set it down.
The group of friends joked around shared laughs for a few hours, the humans figured out you can receive alcohol at the age of 18 in Equestria, so they got a little buzzed, and the girls only had a few drinks. They all eventually paid for the service and left the building.
Jerald was tipsy so Applejack assisted him when he lost balance "I'll s-see you later you guys, I'm getting to s-sleepy" he end with a yawn.
Xander laughed "go to bed you lightweight, I'll talk to you tomorrow if we see each other." He ended with patting Jerald on his back.
Jerald stumbled off with Applejack after they said goodbye to everyone else.
Austen did a sloppy handshake with Xander and said "I'll see you tomorrow duuuuude." He said, talking really slowly.
Pinkie Pie giggled and said "I'm gonna help mister slow to bed!" She said with her usual tone, like as if she hadn't had a single drop of alcohol.
Austen walked slowly with Pinkie Pie to their home.
Justin chuckled "dude, I'll talk to you tomorrow, we're gonna have to arrange some plans for going to that club" he said with a chipper tone.
Xander laughed "sure thing Justin." He said seeing him opening up. Xander turned to Fluttershy "I'll see you soon, Fluttershy, try to make sure Justin doesn't try to get a bear to eat him" he said jokingly
Fluttershy laughed softly and said "I'll make sure of it Xander." She said before telling Twilight goodbye and leaving.
Twilight smiled and then giggled "You boys are crazy." She finished with a laugh.
Xander smiled "well, unfortunately that's not the craziest we can get" he finished with a laugh.
Twilight shook her head and started to walk to the library.
Xander laughed some more and followed her to the library.
Twilight giggled and then said "you guys barely drank any here, I interested to see how you boys behave in the club!" She said imagining it.
Xander smiled "we should be fine, unless if a guy starts to insult us or make one of you girls feel awkward, then we might get a little... Violent." He finished putting emphasis on violent.
Twilight shook her head and laughed.
They eventually got back to the library and they looked at each other
Xander stared at Twilight and said "Thank you, Twi. You've really helped me out here, I can't thank you enough for what you've done." He said in a thankful tone.
Twilight smiled and said "it's the least I could do for a friend." She said before starting to walk up the stairs "good night, Xander" she said before disappearing upstairs.
Xander smiled and started to walk upstairs too "good night, Twi." He then walked to his room and entered it, he then took off his clothes and folded them up so he could wear them again tomorrow. Xander laid down in his bed, got comfy and closed his eyes for a few minutes before falling asleep.
'So, what now?' Was the last thing Xander thought.
