It has been a little over a week since Myasnik was swallowed into this world. Equine humanoid beings and now attending school with them? He could only imagine what else would happen here. The day was his first weekend in this world, luckily they followed the same guidelines as a normal school. No school on the weekend. That’s right, Myasnik was still sleeping, arm hanging off the side of the bed and everything. He was sleeping soundly, just enjoying a good late sleep. That was until the smell of pancakes caught his nose and the sound of multiple voices coming from downstairs.

    “Well, I guess I better get some breakfast before it’s all gone. By the sound of it, seems like she has quite a large amount of guests.”

    He said as he got up and got dressed in his usual outfit. He opens the door and walks down the stairs sleepily.

    “Thanks for havin’ us over Twilight. It’s a good mornin’ for pancakes and hot chocolate.”

    Said orange farm pony. Who was sitting at the table with the others.

    “Oh indeed. And you have it nice and warm in here! Away from all the dreadful snow…”

    Said the white furred one. Myasnik heard them talking on and on until he entered the kitchen. Twilight turned and smiled at him lightly.

    “I guess the smell woke you up huh? Girls, I’d like to introduce you to-”

    “Myasnik!!!”

    Exclaimed Fluttershy, jumping out of her chair and racing to him. She quickly wraps him up in a tight hug, burying his head into her breasts and nuzzling into him affectionately. She hugged him as tight as she could, having been so worried for him since he left her home that day. Even Twilight as just as surprised as her friends when they saw Fluttershy react the way she did.

    “Oh, I was so so worried about you when you left! But I am so happy you are alright!”

    “Um, Fluttershy dear, I think you are suffocating the poor thing…”

    Pointed out the white furred mare. However, in his mind.

    So warm and soft...I can die now…

    She gasps and quickly releases him, but only enough to where he could breathe.She still didn’t want to let go just yet.

    “Ahaaa, so you are the youngen Applebloom talks about as of late. Name’s Applejack, Ah am her older sister. Nice to finally meet you, sugarcube.”

    The white furred unicorn mare remembers the name spoken and quickly rises to her hooves, walking over and cupping Myasnik’s face in her hands gently, her eyes widening and her pupils growing, visualizing what he’d look like when he gets older.

    “Oh my...no wonder Sweetie Belle speaks so highly of you. Such stoic and fierce eyes...beautiful golden locks. Oh my dear, when you get older, you are going to have mares riding your coattails. Even more amazing since you aren’t a pony. My name is Rarity, by the way, Sweetie’s older sister”

    This was a little too much attention for Myasnik. He enjoyed being fawned over by females as much as the next guy, but he wasn’t used to it. His shifts his gaze up to Fluttershy.

    “Um...would you mind letting me go Ms. Fluttershy? Your affection is appreciated and all, but I am rather hungry and those pancakes are smelling pretty awesome.”

    She said before lightly pushing himself away from her. Fluttershy was a little sad when he did so, but understood.

    “And it is a pleasure to meet the both of you. As you know, my name is Myasnik. I am staying with Twilight here until I am finished with school. Your princess was kind enough to offer me a place here for that..”

    He said before walking over to the stove and looks up at Twilight.

    “If you want, I can take over so you can spend time with your friends. I am really good at making these.”

    Twilight blinks a few times, surprised that he’d even offer to help here after how quiet and distant he had been while he stayed with her.

    “Aaww...you don’t have to…”

    He shakes his head in response.

    “I don’t mind. You go sit down and enjoy your company. I will have plenty made in no time for everyone.”

    “Well, if you are sure, just make about 8 more, we have two more coming over, one of them REALLY likes pancakes.”

    He nods in acknowledgment and begins making the pancakes. He does it like a pro to. Swirling it around in the pan and flipping it without a spatula. Just like a chef would. Twilight and the others watch on in surprise at how good he was. They move into the living room and start to talk quietly. Seeing if they could get any info out of Twilight about this human.

    “Where in Equestria did you find this hidden gem, Twilight? I wasn’t kidding when I said that he will be chased by mares when he is older. He is polite, handsome and quite stoic. And what’s more, he seems very aloof.”

    “Ah am pretty curious about him as well. Especially since Applebloom has been talkin’ about him ever since she met him they day he came to their school. He reminds me of one of those….’bad colts’ that the fillies are into these days. Isn’t that trouble down the road, though?”

    Twilight giggled lightly and shook her head. Finding Applejack’s assumption about him funny.

    “Oh no AJ. Sure, he may be distant and quiet, but he is a nice colt. He has helped me around the library a few times when I get the place a bit messy. As for what I know about him, it's mostly just his name. He is quite the hard book to open. Though I think it is just because he is feeling like he is unwelcomed here. After all, he was brought here by force. He isn’t going to trust anypony just yet.”

    They both nod and look back into the kitchen, then back to Twilight.

    “I am not sure if you heard. But..apparently, he got a little..rough with one of the fillies at school on his first day. Sweetie told me about it. At first I didn’t want her to associate herself with a brutish colt, but when she told me the whole story. I really couldn’t blame him. He didn’t harm her per say, he just...seemed to frighten her with his swift movement and words. Something about..”I will not let you trample all over the new kid.” or something like that. Sweetie said that he had her in this..submission grasp and placed his index finger to her neck. I am not exactly sure what that does, but apparently, it shook to filly to her core.”

    Rarity explained to the group.

    “Yeah, Applebloom told me about that as well. It was one of the two fillies who have been givin' her and her friends quite a bit of trouble because they don’t have their marks yet. Twi...what is he? Not as in what his species is, but...Ah get the feelin’ that you know something about him that you don’t want known.”

    That’s Applejack for you, nothing gets by her when she can tell something else was hidden. Twilight sighed and was about to tell them, when the door swung open with a pink blur zooming in.

    “Oooh I smell pancakes! Are they ready yet?!”

    Asked the bouncing pink pony, who was followed in by a cyan blue one with a rainbow mane.

    “Yeah, I am starving! I am so down for breakfast!”

    The pink pony wastes no time in running into the kitchen. This was bad, Twilight knew how Myasnik would react to a complete stranger running into the kitchen as crazy as Pinkie Pie would and quickly calls out to her.

    “Pinkie, wai-!”

    “The sound of a scream and a few items hitting the floor were heard. Twilight quickly runs into the kitchen to see Pinkie frozen in terror as Myasnik held his butterfly knife to her throat. That death glare now visible in his eyes. Twilight rushes in to defuse the situation.

    “No no no no! Myasnik she is one of my friends, it’s alright!”

    He looks at Twilight then Pinkie, then Twilight again. He nods and lowers his knife slowly and flips the blade back into the handles. Bowing his head slightly.

    “My apologies. I don’t like being rushed in on.”

    Pinkie falls back on her rear and continues to stare at him in shock, the others having leaned in and caught the whole thing. He puts his knife away in his pocket and offers his hand to Pinkie, who flinched when he held out his hand to her, but after a moment she took it, shaking slightly. He pulled her up to her hooves and nodded. Then went back to cooking.

    “It will be done soon. All I ask is that you be patient.”

    Pinkie nodded and scoots past Twilight to increase the distance between him and her. Applejack pulls Twilight by the wrist back into the living room and sits her down, crossing her arms.

    “Alright Twi, spill it.  No normal youngen should even have that kind of intent nor should they even possess a knife.”

    Twilight sighed and nodded.

    “Please girls, what I am about to tell you doesn’t leave here. The last thing we need is for this to get out of control.”

    Twilight explained to them that he was not just a simple school kid. He had been in military training and he was classified as and being forced into being a soldier back where he was from. How he was forced into this world and the decision that came down from Celestia. The rest of them listened intently as she spoke, understanding why he seems to act the way he does. Though Fluttershy seemed a bit sad about it the most. She could see why he wouldn’t tell her anything the night he stayed with her.

    “I never would have guessed those things he had on his back...they must have been his weapons. Had I known that I would have left them behind…”

    “He would have gone out to look for them, Fluttershy. I don’t know him all that well, but I can promise you he wouldn’t just leave such things out there for somepony to find, both for his and their sake. He may be young, but he appears to have excellent knowledge of these…’guns’ as he calls them.”

    “I can’t say I dislike him, even after what just happened with Pinkie. But at the same time, I am not justifyin’ his actions. He could have really hurt her!”

    Applejack said with a slight bit of anger in her tone, crossing her arms as she leaned against the couch that were all around. But it seemed that Pinkie stuck up for him regardless.

    “He did say he was sorry, AJ. I shouldn’t have run in on him like that. He was even nice enough to help me up. He can’t be a bad colt if he did that. It was scary, though..”

    “Scootaloo told me about him when I was hanging out with her the other day after school. She said that he was really cool and all. But still, who would have guessed that this kid has military training and is still attending school.”

    Said Rainbow Dash, gazing into the kitchen at him as he flips the last bit of pancakes, finishing off the cooking.

    “When I saw his eyes so...focused, it sent chills up and down my spine and my whole body went cold. But behind them, I saw somepony who knew how to smile. He needs friends  And something tells me he didn’t have much of those where he came from. I think Applebloom, Scoots and Sweetie will be those very friends he needs. And I will be his friend to, everypony is my friend here!”

    They all giggle and nod, knowing full well that Pinkie is indeed friends with everypony in Ponyville. Myasnik leans into the living room holding up the spatula.

    “It’s ready.”

    He said before leaning back in. When Twilight and the others come into the dining room, they all gasp slightly at how...neatly the table was set and how good the pancakes looked. He even sat out the toppings and everything on the table. Rarity was especially impressed by this.

    “Oh my...wonderful presentation, darling!”

    “I agree! MYasnik, where did you learn this?!”

    Asked twilight as she took her seat.

    “Well, I went with my father to military dinners with higher-ups a few times. You pick up on things like this. And when my mother came home from work too exhausted to make dinner, I made it instead. No big deal, really.”

    That tugged at the heartstrings of all of them, even Rainbow Dash.

    “Aw, that was mighty fine of you to help out your mother like that.”

    Said Applejack as she sat down next to Rainbow Dash. When they all sat down, all the seats were filled. This didn’t bother Myasnik though, his simply took his plate, slapped some peanut butter and syrup on his pancakes and headed out the room, making himself comfortable on the couch.

    “I wish he would have eaten with us…I would have gotten him another chair.”

    Said Twilight with a bit of sadness in her voice.

    “I think he is just too polite to ask, dear. He feels like if he asks too much of somepony it may bother them.”

    Said Rarity with a nod, understanding how he felt entirely.

    “But he doesn’t! I just wish he’d stop being so distant and talk to me!”

She said as she raises her voice a bit, but not enough for him to hear her. Fluttershy lightly places a hand on Twilight’s shoulder.

    “Just give him time, Twilight. He will open up. It may not be today or tomorrow, but he will.”

    She nods to Fluttershy and smiles lightly. They begin eating their breakfast.
