Author's Notes:

Well, here is the next chapter. I thank all those who have liked this story. Now, unlike my Equis Protector story, this one will continue. It hasn't reached a dislike level to make me put it on pause. So you can expect more chapters from this story in the future. Also, this is a rewrite of the first version. I got a few complaints about the wording of this chapter and have gone back and checked it over. So continue to feel free to critic the chapters and the text, since all criticism I happily accept with open arms.

Ponyville (Rewrite)
Xavier POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked to see an area filled with nothing but darkness as I slowly got to my feet. Where am I? I thought over everything and remembered everything up to the point of waking up in this strange place. I arrived in the meadow outside Ponyville. Flame and I walked into the town of Ponyville. I was knocked unconscious by Rainbow Dash. I ended up with a minor concussion and ended up in Twilight's house/library. I came back to reality to meet Twilight, Barb, and Rainbow. I told them about my life story. They then brought over Lyra, and I told them about humanity and Earth. Afterward, I fought Rainbow, and we listened to music in the meadow. I ran to get my iPod for Rainbow. When I came back, three Manticores were surrounding my friends and gave Flame a good amount of scratches. I fought off all three of them, but got wounded in the process. The last thing I remember is falling into another unconscious state. I looked around again. I wonder if I'm still unconscious and if I am, where am I.

"Exactly where I need you." Said a female voice.

I looked around, but couldn't see anybody or anything that would be able to talk to me. I turned one last time and saw the crystal heart again. I didn't know why I kept seeing it, but here it was again. The small voice in my head began to talk to me. It told me to reach out and touch the heart. But something in my gut told me not to, but who listens to their guts these days. Well, I followed that voice in my head and touched the heart. A warm feeling began to surge through my body. A light began to shine from my hand. I looked to see my mark was glowing brightly. I watched as twelve crystal shards began to appear from the darkness around me. They each circled me before one by one. They entered my body. The warm feeling kept getting stronger and stronger. Soon everything went quiet, but a bright light began to shine in front of me. I covered my eyes with my hand, as to block the light from my eyes. When they finally dilated, twelve large shadows surround me. The light still shined in front of me. The light began to speak in the same female voice I had heard before the heart appeared. I also realized it was the light and voice that talked to me back when I discovered the sword.

"Find us."

"Find who?" I asked

"Us." Said the female voice

"But who are you?" I asked

"I would tell you, but the time isn't right. Find the heart, and we will talk again." Said the female voice

Before I could ask about the heart, the light began to become intense. It was as intense as looking straight into the sun. I had to cover my eyes, so the light didn't destroy them. It felt like the light was pushing me out of the darkness. But before I left entirely, the female voice spoke out to me.

"You are the savior of this world."

***

My eyes slowly opened again, but this time, my vision was blurry. Damn, not again. I blinked a few times, and my vision came back to me. I could then hear the beat of a heart monitor. I looked over to see it and everything that was hooked up to me. I can't wait for the bill, for all of this. I slowly moved my body up to see all my wounds were covered up. I was only wearing a medical gown on my lower body. I sighed as I ran my hands over my face.

I saw the door to my room open up, and a mare came in. She had a white coat and pink mane. Her mane was up in a bun. She had on a nurses uniform that made her look like she was out the 70s or something, though it wasn't that bad to scan over. The outfit seemed to be one part with a cute skirt and shirt. She had on a hat on with a red pulse sign with a heart in each corner. It seemed to be her cutie mark. She also had an E-cup chest on her. She was looking over a clipboard when she came into my room. She looked over her clipboard, to see I was up.

"Well good to see you're up." Said the mare

"Great to be up, now who are you?" I asked

"I'm Nurse Red Heart, but Red Heart is just fine." She said

"Well nice to meet you, I'm Xavier. So, can I ask you why you aren't afraid of me?" I said

"Well, I was at first. But Twilight and her friends cleared everything up. Oh, and your stuff is with Twilight and her friends." Said Red Heart

"So how many days have I been out?" I asked

"You've been out for about three days." said Red Heart

"Huh, longest I have ever been out, so how bad is my body," I said

"Well see for yourself." Said Red Heart

I raised my eyebrow at her but shrugged it off. I grabbed the bandages on my body and slowly removed them. When I removed the last one, I was amazed that my wounds had completely healed up. But what impressed me more was that I didn't have a signal scare. I knew my powers had no way of reversing scars from wounds. I removed the bandages from my shoulder and found the same results. Again no injuries were present, where the stinger from the last Manticore hit me. It was as I had never even fought the Manticores in the first place.

"How?" I asked

"We closed up the wounds and used healing magic to heal away the scars. So no worries about any scars covering your quite muscular body," said Red Heart with a blush on her face

I looked down at my mark. So, my Fable powers don't have any backfire from the magic of Equestria. That should come in handy for future events. I kept rubbing the areas I was attacked, still amazed that nothing was wrong with my body.

"I see you're still impressed," Said Red Heart after coming back from dazing off.

"Sure am, would have thought I would have scars from the fight," I said

"That's the power of magic." Said Red Heart

"Now I'm even more impressed with magic," I said

"I'm glad you're happy with the results. Now, Twilight and her friends are out in the lobby waiting for you to wake up. Would you like me to bring them in?" Said Red Heart

"That would be great," I said

Red Heart nodded her head and left the room. After a minute, the door opened, and Flame came in and tackled me. He hugged me tight as a few tears left his eyes. I rubbed his head to tell him I was ok. I looked up to see Twilight and Barb come in after him. Flame hugged me tighter as if I would disappear if he let go. I looked him over to see no scars on his body. I guess magic healed away his scars as well. I had to thank Twilight for treating him and taking care of him, while I was out.

"How are you feeling?" Asked Twilight

"Great, actually I feel like a whole new man," I said

"That's great." Said Barb

"Xavier, I never thought I would never see you wake again," said Flame with tears in his eyes.

I rubbed his head as I looked at his sad, filled eyes, "Please Flame, I'm not going to die yet. I'm just glad you're all safe."

"Thanks to you, Xavier." Said Twilight

"Oh Twilight, thank you for taking care of Flame. I know he can be a handful at times and for healing him up," I said

"No problem, now I think it's time you meet the rest of mine, Barb's and Rainbow's friends." Said Twilight

Rainbow came in with four new mares. First in was an elegant mare. I could see she had a white coat, but it seemed to be more regal than Red Heart's coat. Her mane was pure violet color, not mentioning it was a beautiful violet color. She had it curled, which gave her, even more, beauty. She had azure colored eyes. She had a horn on her head, which told me she was a unicorn. She was wearing a beautiful blue dress. It just went past her knees before ending. On the side of her dress was a set of three diamonds. I knew that had to be her cutie mark. Though, I had no idea what type of talent she had. The last thing my eyes collected from her was her figure and chest. She had a perfect hourglass figure with a perfect D-cup breast.

Next in was an extremely pink pony. I had thought I had seen enough pink with that being my mother's favorite color, but this mare puts it to the extreme. She had both a pink coat and pink mane. But her mane was like cotton candy. I wanted to try and tear some off and see what happened. I could see she had cerulean colored eyes. She had on a light pink shirt and a light pink skirt, at least I didn't have to worry about her looking like she was naked. She had no wings or horn, so she had to be an earth pony. She had a set of three balloons stitched on her skirt. I could guess her talent had to deal with parties. She had about an E-cup chest on her, but it could be bigger.

Next was a pegasus from the fact she had wings on her back. She had a butter yellow coat. Her mane was a pink color and man was it massive. I wondered how she was able to carry it when she flew. Well, she had cyan colored eyes, which easily showed her kindness. She was wearing a green sweater, even though it didn't seem right for this time of year, and a pair of brown pants. On the sweater was a set of three butterflies. I thought about her cutie mark and came up with the idea that she deals with animals in some way. While she was in the room, she covered her face with her pink mane, which caused her to look so cute. But what was amazed me was her chest size, which had to be around an F-cup. I pulled my eyes from the mare and moved them towards the last mare. I felt a blush come to my cheeks as I looked at her.

First, let's just say, I have a thing for cowgirls. I would have never thought one of Twilight's friends would be a cowgirl, not mentioning an attractive cowgirl. She had an orange coat and tan mane. Her mane and tail were tied with green ribbons, holding back the real beauty of them both. Her eyes were a sap green color. She had on a pair of torn work jeans, which had on a western style belt holding them up. Her stomach ultimately shown as her shirt was tied right next to her breasts. The shirt was a red checkerboard shirt. She had it tied just above her D-cup breasts. Her cutie mark sat as the buckle of her belt, which was a set of three apples. I knew from that. Her talent was dealing with apples in some way. The last thing was a worn brown Stetson on her head.

"Xavier, meet Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack." Said Twilight

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Xavier Young," I said

"Well nice tah meet ya, partner," said Applejack with a smile on her face and a tip her hat to me.

"Nice to meet you also darling." Said Rarity

Fluttershy didn't say a thing but gave a cute little 'eep.' I took it as her greeting, but the Pinkie Pie didn't mind getting in my face.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie. I love to make new friends, and you're my new friend. I'm so happy your awake since I wanted to thank you. Plus I still have..." Pinkie suddenly stopped as Twilight's aura was around her and placed her back with the others.

"Sorry, she gets a little excited about new friends." Said Twilight

"No problem, I don't mind," I said

"Don't mind. Pinkie was talking a mile a minute. If you understood her, then you're better than me. Because, I swore she didn't even take a breath while she was speaking," whispered Flame as I just rolled my eyes at his comment.

"Well, we're all glad your up." Said Barb

"Yeah, that was so awesome how you dealt with those Manticores." Said Rainbow

"Thanks and I have to ask, has Twilight told you all about Flame and me," I said

They all nodded, and I sighed as I didn't have to explain everything to them.

"Here you go darling," Rarity walked forward with a bag in her hands. I took it into my hands. I opened the bag to see all my clothes completely repaired, "After saving us from those hungry Manticores, I thought I should repay the favor. I have to say, darling. You know how to pick a nice set of clothing."

"Thanks, but now I have a question," I said

"That would be?" Asked Applejack

"Your talents," I said

"Well, I'm a fashion designer. I'm not sure if you have any more clothes, but feel free to drop by my boutique, and I'll gladly make up more for you." Said Rarity

"Parties are my specialty." Said Pinkie Pie

"Apple bucking and farming. If ya ever looking for somethin' tah do, my family farm is always open." Said Applejack

Fluttershy was once again quiet till Flame spoke up.

"Don't be afraid Fluttershy. Xavier's a good guy."

"Oh, I help and talk with animals." Said Fluttershy

"Now that's a talent, so you're a veterinarian," I said

"No, but I am working on getting my degree as one." Said Fluttershy

"She takes care of animals around her house, but nothing significant yet." Said Flame

"Yes and Flame is an adorable cat, he is also fascinating." Said Fluttershy

I smiled as Flame seemed to bring Fluttershy out of hiding. She's so cute and timid. I beat anything can scare her, I'll just have to be careful around her. I don't want to scare her, but I bet it's cute when she does get scared.

"Well, it looks like your up and ready to leave. The girls and I will be in the lobby waiting for you." Said Twilight

I thanked them as they left the room. Flame got off of me as moved my body to the side of the bed. I untied the medical gown and found my boxers still on. Well at least I wasn't completely naked. I tossed it onto the bed as I pulled out the clothes from the bag. I looked them over and couldn't believe how they looked. They looked as if they had just come off the rack. Even the coat looked brand new. I turned to Flame as he sat on the bed staring at me. I decided to pop him a question while I was getting dressed.

"So, what do you think of them all?" I asked

"Well, they are nice. I can't say anything terrible about them." He said

"So, do think we can trust them," I said

"Yes, I believe we can. Being with them for those three days, while you were in the hospital, gave me time to think. I never saw a reason to be scared of them or fear them. So, I believe if we show the rest of Ponyville that you aren't some crazy sword wielding monster, and I'm not some demonic cat, then I think we might have a chance at settling down here." Said Flame

"Well then, I think it's time we meet the neighborhood," I said

I finished by throwing on my coat. Flame then jumped onto my shoulder. We walked out the door of my room, and we passed Nurse Red Heart. She stopped me and gave me a clipboard. I took an ink quill she gave me, and I signed my name on the line of the clipboard. But I also had to fill out a few other forms. I hate medical paperwork. After all the paperwork, I waved goodbye to Red heart as Flame, and I left to the waiting room. I pushed the doors open and saw the girls. They readily greeted me. I thanked them for waiting, and we then exited the hospital. The sun was high in the sky, and I felt it great on my body. The wind also was active as it passed over my body.

"This feels nice," I said

"Xavier," I turned to Twilight. "I think you should have this."

She was holding my sword in her hands. I had forgotten about it. I reached out my hand and grabbed it. I pulled the blade from the sheath and looked it over. The sun shined off the blade showing off the crimson color of it. I placed the sword back into the sheath and threw it onto my back. I hooked the strap together over my chest and felt complete again.

"Thanks for keeping it safe," I said

"No problem, having it gave me some time to look it over." Said Twilight

"Did you find anything about it?" I asked

"Nope, Equestria seems to have no history about it." Said Twilight

"Come on, let's stop talking about swords and introduce Xavier to Ponyville." Said Rainbow

"Alright, let's do this," I said

We soon walked the dirt road that led from the hospital to Ponyville. We all stopped, and I looked at the town before looking at Flame. Flame and I looked back at the girls as they smiled at us. We smiled back before I sighed and walked into the town. The girls followed close behind us. We soon reached what looked to be a market area. We all stepped in, and ponies stopped and looked at us. I never felt so nervous in my life, but I then heard a familiar female voice.

"Xavier!"

I looked to see Lyra pushing through the crowd. She ran up and gave me a hug, which caused ponies to whisper around us. She broke the hug and gave a smile before hugging me again and whimpering.

"I thought I would never see you again." She said

"Hey no worries Lyra, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon," I said

I pulled her out of the hug and looked at her face. Tears were gently running down her cheeks. I gently took my thumb and wiped them away. I smiled at her, and she returned it before bringing me into another hug. Then the others came up, and I heard another female voice.

"Lyra, where are you?"

"Bon Bon, over here." Said Lyra

"Who?" I asked

"Oh, Bon Bon is a friend of mine and lets me crash at her place." Said Lyra

Soon a mare came out of the crowd. She had a cream colored coat. Her mane was two tones in color. The first was cobalt blue with a pink streak in it. She had arctic blue eyes. She had on a white shirt and pair of jeans, and her cutie mark was of blue and yellow stripped wrapped candies. She also had on a pair of yellow hooved shoes. I could see that her cutie mark meant she dealt with candy, plus I think Lyra talked about Bon Bon owning a candy store. Last was that she had a C-cup on her.

"Hey Bon Bon, come over here and meet Xavier." Said Lyra

"Lyra, you need to give up the idea that humans..." Bon Bon stopped when she saw me. I waved at her and I could she was completely stunned and speechless.

"Bon Bon this is Xavier, and as you can see, he's a human." Said Lyra

"Nice to meet you," I said

"I can't believe it." Said Bon Bon

"You better believe it, by the way, the names Flame." Said Flame

"That cat just talked." Said Bon Bon

"Yeah, but I'm a spirit." Said Flame

Twilight then stepped forward and spoke to the crowd, "Ponies of Ponyville, we would like you to meet our, um well our new member to Ponyville. Xavier Young the human and Flame the Fable Cat."

"Um, hello," I said as Flame just waved at the crowd.

Pinkie Pie then bounced to all the ponies that were looking at Flame and me. She stuck her hand in her mane and pulled out a cannon on wheels and placed it on the ground. Flame and I looked at each other and then back at Pinkie Pie before looking at Twilight. She looked at us with raised eyebrows, and we both pointed to Pinkie Pie.

"Oh, that's Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie." Said Twilight

"Yeah, she can be random at times." Said Rainbow

"Also darlings, don't try to understand Pinkie Pie, it isn't good for your health." Said Rarity

Flame and I looked at each other again and shrugged it off. We watched as Pinkie fired off her cannon, which shot out confetti of all things. She happily bounced up in the air with excitement as ponies watched her.

"They weren't kidding about her being random." Said Flame

"Yeah, but everybody needs a little random in their life," I said

"Of course, you would think that way." Said Flame

Flame and I turned our attention back to Pinkie Pie, "Hello everypony, I'm glad to announce tonight, I will have my 'Welcome to Ponyville Party' for my friends Flame and Xavier. I will have this party right here in the market square. So everypony, please come and welcome Xavier and Flame to Ponyville."

She happily bounced away pulling her cannon with her. Flame and I again looked at each other and watched as ponies were talking with each other before leaving. I scratched my head as it was strange to think that they had already accepted us.

"What was that about?" I asked

"Oh, everypony knows that when Pinkie Pie throws a party that pony or in your case, human, is ok." Said Twilight

"Yeah, ponies here trust Pinkie more than anything else." Said Barb

"A little weird if you ask me." Said Flame

"Well, I need to dash, so I'll see you all at the party." Said Rainbow

As she said, she dashed away, and I wanted a freaking rim shot to go off for the pun. I watched as the rest said their goodbyes.

"Well, I have some orders to fill, see you all later tonight darlings." Said Rarity

"I need to make sure my animal friends are alright. But Xavier, you wouldn't mind if I took Flame. I want to get to know more about him." Said Fluttershy

"I see no problem why not, but it's still Flame choice," I said

"I don't mind." Said Flame

"Oh thank you." Said Fluttershy

Flame leaped off my shoulder and went over and climbed onto Fluttershy's shoulder. Fluttershy smiled as they left together. Then the others began to say their goodbyes.

"I got tah return tah my farm. See ya'll." Said Applejack

"Sorry to leave you Xavier, but Barb and I have to do something. We'll see you at the party." Said Twilight

Soon it was just me, Lyra and Bon Bon.

"Since it seems you need something to do until the party, how about you come over." Said Lyra

"Only if Bon Bon is ok with it," I said

"Well, I always thought Lyra was crazy with the idea of a creature known as a human. I still can't believe you're even real, but beside the point, I see no reason why you can't come over." Said Bon Bon

"Oh thank you, Bon Bon. Come on Xavier. I want to show you my research on your race." Said Lyra

She grabbed my hand and dragged me off with Bon Bon following behind. Lyra sure is enthusiastic about my people.

***

We all stood outside of Bon Bon's house. It looked to be an average house, except for the fact that there was a candy shop attached to it. Bon Bon opened the door, but before, I even stepped into the front door, Lyra grabbed my hand again and dragged me down a hallway. I could hear Bon Bon scream something at Lyra.

"Don't do anything crazy with him Lyra." Said Bon Bon

"No worries Bon Bon." Said Lyra

She soon dragged me to a door and opened it. It seemed to lead down to a basement. She kept dragging me down and tossed me into the center of the room. Then on came the lights, and around me was a bunch of research papers and drawings of my people. I looked at them all as circled the room.

"Impressive, huh." Said Lyra

"Yes, it is," I said

"Well, how about I get us something to drink. I'll be back, feel free to look around." Said Lyra

She soon left back up the stairs to get us drinks. I began to look over each wall. Papers and drawings covered each wall. I found myself at what appeared to be her desk. I could see she had a nice set of pictures on it. Each was of her and Bon Bon. Each picture I picked up of the two was of them being happy in different places. I wonder if they're dating each other. I set down the pictures and found a book flipped over. I raised my eyebrow to it. I wonder what she was doing with this book. I beat these her new research notes. I reached my hand forward but pulled it back. But it could be something else. It's not my place to look to see whether it is research or her writing. I finally heard hooves coming down the stairs, and Lyra came down holding two cups of water.

"I hope you don't mind water. It seems I need to pick up more cider from Applejack's farm." Said Lyra

"No, not at all," I said

I took the cup, and she pointed over to a couch. We each took a seat, and I drank some of the water, while still looking over the walls. It was still impressive how much info she had on humanity before I came into the picture.

"So is this all before I came," I said

"Yes, I haven't had time to sort through the stuff you told me and compared it to the notes I already have. But when I heard you were in the hospital, I couldn't do anything. I was so worried about whether or not you would make it." Said Lyra

"Hey, don't cry, I don't like it when you cry. I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." I said

"Ha, thanks." She said

"So, I got to ask, are you and Bon Bon a thing," I said leaning back on the couch.

"Yes, we are a thing, I hope you aren't bothered by same-sex relationships." Said Lyra

"No, I think everybody should find who they love, even if it's with the same-sex," I said

"Thanks, I have been so happy with her. Before I fell in love with Bon Bon, my life felt empty. But after we fell in love, everything finally felt complete. But we are looking for a stallion to make it even better." Said Lyra

"What?" I asked

"Well you see, Bon Bon and I are bisexual. Even though we love each other so much, we still want a stallion to pleasure us," said Lyra with a slight blush on her face.

"What?" I asked still as confused as before

"I guess I should explain something about Equestria to you. You see the female population on Equestria out ways the stallion population. So it is a reason a lot of same-sex relationships between women is common. But most still stay bisexual because of our polygamous lifestyle here on Equestria. Some ponies do stay monogamy, but most have polygamous lifestyles. You see to handle the shortage of stallions. Stallions build herds with two or more mares. So Bon Bon and I are looking to make a pack with a stallion." Said Lyra

"Interesting, back on Earth we only have monogamous lifestyles. I think that this world full of polygamous lifestyles is going to take some time to accept." I said

"No worries, you have plenty of time to figure out yourself here in Equestria. I just wanted to tell you that because you might need it in the future. Better to know now then when it's too late." Said Lyra

"Thanks, Lyra. Now, how about you tell me about everything you had discovered before I came here." I said

"Oh, I would love to!" Exclaimed Lyra

For the next couple of hours, Lyra told me about all of her research she had done. She had searched far and wide across Equestria to get the info she needed. She even got some of it from strange dreams she would have. I was impressed how much knowledge of my people was on Equestria and how much she got from strange dreams. Soon a clock rang off and then came Bon Bon's voice.

"Lyra, it's time we get going. We can't be late for Pinkie Pie's party, plus we have one of the guests of honor." Said Bon Bon

"Coming Bon Bon, I guess it's time you celebrate your first Pinkie Pie party. A well-known fact in Ponyville is that you never miss a Pinkie Pie party. Also, please don't mention anything I told you about me and Bon Bon's wanting a stallion to join us, she likes to keep that under wraps till we are certain about it." Said Lyra

"Don't worry Lyra. You have my promise as a friend," I said

"Oh thank you, Xavier," said Lyra as she gave me a hug.

"Come on Lyra and Xavier. The party is about to start." Said Bon Bon

"Coming." Said Lyra

We both ran up the stairs and meet up with Bon Bon. We all then exited the house, and Bon Bon locked up before we went to the market to celebrate I and Flame's welcome party to Ponyville.

***

I sat at a table running my hand through my hair. I had been on the dance floor with many different ponies and was taking a break. I was happy that the ponies were able to get past that I was a human. I soon saw Flame sit across from me with three cupcakes on a plate. His tongue went over his lips but watched as I snatched up one of his cupcakes. He looked at me with a disapproving grin.

"You need to lay off the sweets. A fat Fable is a useless Fable," I said

He just stuck out his tongue at me, as he went to eat the others. I was amazed at how well planned the party was and not mentioning how good these sweets were. I knew I had to thank Pinkie for all of this. The place was decorated like any ordinary party and even had a stage with a DJ playing. Floodlights lit up the area around us and large speakers blasting out music. Everypony in Ponyville was in attendance; I guess Lyra was right, no pony missed a Pinkie Pie party.

"So did you enjoy being with Fluttershy?" I asked

"Yeah, I sure did. Though Fluttershy's bunny is a bitch." Said Flame

"Oh come on, a little bunny," I said chuckling to myself

"You won't be giggling when you see this bunny. That thing is the spawn of the devil. I don't know why Fluttershy keeps it around." Said Flame

"Well, I guess I'll just have to see this bunny in person," I said

"Don't say I ever warned you." Said Flame

"There you are," I turned my attention to the voice to see Rainbow come flapping down. She looked tired and sweaty, " I've been looking for you."

"Hey Rainbow, just get off the dance floor," I said

"Yeah," she took a seat and sat down. "So, how do you like your first Pinkie Pie party?"

"I got to say. It's amazing. I would have never thought Pinkie could throw this all together." I said

"Thanks, Xavier," I looked to see Pinkie behind me. She easily made my heart skip a beat, "Oh sorry Xavier, I'll try to dial myself down around you."

"Thanks, Pinkie and how do did you get here," I said

"I came from the dance floor when I heard you complimenting my party." She said

I looked to see the dance floor with the crowded of ponies and the loud music that was blasting over the crowd. I looked to Rainbow, and her eyes told me not to try to understand it. I looked at Flame, and he shrugged before popping the last cupcake into his mouth. I looked back at Pinkie's smiling face.

"Well, I'm happy you threw us this party. I think this helped the ponies of Ponyville see that we're not a threat to them." I said

"Yeah not mentioning all the sweets are just divine." Said Flame

"Thanks, Mrs. Cake taught me everything I know about cooking." Said Pinkie

"So Xavier, besides training, do anything else fun." Said Rainbow

"Well, I play a little basketball here and there," I said

"Basketball?" Asked Pinkie

"A sport where teams up to five runs up and down a court shooting hoops to score points," I said

"Sounds like my kind of game." Said Rainbow

"Anything else." Said Pinkie

"Well, I play guitar," I said

"Please, Xavier rocks out on a guitar." Said Flame

"Thanks, Flame," I said rubbing my neck.

"Really?" Asked Rainbow

"Yeah, I would show you, but I don't have a guitar," I said

"No problem." Said Pinkie

She reached into her mane and pulled out a black electric guitar. She handed it to me, and I held it in my hands. Rainbow and Pinkie pushed me up to the stage entrance. Pinkie went over to the DJ that was playing and whispered into her ear. The DJ nodded at Pinkie. I was standing next to Rainbow and decided to pop a question to her.

"Rainbow, who is that pony?"

"Oh, that's Vinyl Scratch or DJ Pon-3, which is her DJ name." Said Rainbow

Pinkie ushered me onto the stage. Rainbow pushed me up to the stage. Now on stage, I was able to get a good look at Vinyl. She had a white coat on her. Her mane was a two toned electric blue color. I thought it was about right for a DJ like her. She had on a shirt that only covered her breasts, as her stomach was completely exposed. Her pants were cut off white jeans with the pockets coming at of them. She then was sporting a pair of blue fingerless gloves and a pair of dark purple shades. She had a pair of headphones over her ears to listen to her work. She had a music note on her shirt, which quickly went with her career choice. Last was her D to E-cup breasts.

"Vinyl this is Xavier." Said Pinkie

"Nice to meet you, Vinyl Scratch." She held out her hand for me to shake.

I took it, "Nice to meet you. I'm Xavier as Pinkie said. I've heard a lot about you from Rainbow," as I shook her hand.

"Ha, Rainbow is a big fan of mine. But it sounds like Pinkie wants you to play a song for us." Said Vinyl

"That's right," I said

"Sounds interesting, the amps over there will work for the guitar," said Vinyl as she pointed over to the amps.

"Thanks," I went over and jacked myself in and then gave a thumbs up to Vinyl. She gave a thumbs up to Pinkie Pie. She bounced over to the mic and tapped it as the music came to an end, and ponies turned their attention to Pinkie.

"Hi everypony, I hope you been enjoying the party," the crowd cheered and clapped. "Well, I'm glad. Now for something special. Xavier has decided to show Ponyville some of his skills on the guitar. So give a big hand for Xavier."

She stepped out of the way as I came forward. The crowd clapped for as I went over to the mic. I tapped on it to get the crowd to settle down, "Thank you everypony, now if anybody back on my planet of Earth would have told me I would be saying 'pony,' they would think I was crazy. Well, I thank all of you for allowing me and Flame to be here in your fair town. So Flame and I thank you all. So, Ponyville you ready to rock."

The cheered, and I nodded to Vinyl, and she nodded back. She gave me a thumbs up, and I pulled the pick from the fret board. I took in a breath before letting it out. I got ready as the crowd went silent waiting for me to play. I closed my eyes as I counted out the beats of the drums since I didn't have a drummer present with me. After finding the beat, I opened my eyes as began to strum the guitar. I quickly saw everypony just stand amazed at my skills.

"Go, Xavier!" Screamed Flame as he sat on Fluttershy's shoulder.

I continued to play the guitar remembering every note and chord that was in the song. I began to hear the ponies cheer for me to continue. I smiled as I continued to play for them. My hand easily glided across the strings and for even more fun, I used the whammy bar. I could see Rainbow was just amazed at how easy I was making it look. I kept it up but decided to close my eyes and let the music play in my ears. I kept imagining the tempo of the drums that would be playing with me.

"So awesome!" Said Dash

"He sure is amazing darlings." Said Rarity

I kept playing and made ponies just watch in amazement at how fluent I was. I got to say. I was thankful for all those years of practice. Nothing ever felt better than playing the guitar. I soon played the last note and let it ring out before ending the song.

Ponies then cheered and clapped for me as Pinkie came back. I gave her the guitar before walking off stage. Vinyl began to play the dance music again for everypony. As I reached the entrance to the dance floor, the girls swarmed me.

"Darling that was incredible, how did you learn to play like that?" Asked Rarity

"Just sitting down and practicing. Won't lie, took many years to play like that," I said

"Yeah, now if you could just get your singing voice together." Said Flame

"You can sing." Said Barb

"Well yes, but not that great. Just took it up about a year ago. I needed a new challenge while playing my guitar," I said

"Well who cares, that solo was excellent!" Said Dash

"Well girls, I think we have plenty of time left in the night. How about we dance it away?" I said

They agreed and ran out to the dance floor. Flame jumped off of Fluttershy's shoulder and got onto mine.

"You know Flame. This world isn't that bad. I think I can see myself here, how about you." I said

"Yes, yes I can." Said Flame

Rainbow then came back to Flame and me, "Come on Xavier and Flame."

"Coming Rainbow," I said

I ran with Flame, on my shoulder, onto the dance floor. For the rest of the night, we danced it away. I had to say. It was the best welcome party I have ever attended.

***

Soon enough, the party came to an end. Flame was already out cold. We all had taken a break, and Flame had fallen asleep trying to eat a cupcake. Lucky for him, he didn't smash his face into it. We all yawned, and most of them said our goodbyes to us. It was just me, a sleeping Flame, Twilight, and Barb. I then remembered something important that Flame and I never got settled.

"Shoot," I said

"What?" Asked Twilight

"Flame and I don't have a place to stay for the night," I said

"No worries, you and Flame can stay with Barb and me. We have an extra room in the library. So you're more than welcome to live with us, we wouldn't mind the company." Said Twilight

"Thank you, Twilight and Barb," I said

"Hey, no problem." Said Barb

I picked up Flame and the three of us headed back to the library. Twilight opened the door, and Barb said goodnight before heading up to her room. Twilight went upstairs and brought down a pillow and some blankets.

"Sorry for putting you on the couch for the night, but the room is a mess. I never thought I would ever need to use that room for more than storage." Said Twilight

"No problem, I'm used to sleeping on couches. And thanks again for this," I said

"Your welcome Xavier and welcome to Ponyville." Said Twilight

"Thanks and goodnight to you," I said

"You to Xavier." Said Twilight

I watched as she went up to her room. I set up the couch for myself and set up a small pillow bed on the floor next to me for Flame. I set Flame down and covered him up. I sighed as I sat on the side of the couch and untied my boots. I set them next to my stuff with my sword and coat, which I threw over my backpack. Afterward, I laid on the couch and pulled the covers up to my chest. I put my hands behind my head as I replayed all the events that had transpired today. I smiled at them all. I guess this is my life. I wonder what kind of life I'll have here. Well at least I know one thing, it will be an interesting one. I moved over to my side and pulled the covers up. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
