*Bang Bang Bang*

“Uhg…” I groaned out as a sudden banging drew me from my sleep. Not daring to open my eyes, I continued to groan as my natural instincts told me it was still bum fuck early. “Go away!”

“Wake up!” Rainbow Dash’s scratchy voice called out from somewhere.

“Fuck you, Skittles!” I yelled out, covering my head with my pillow and trying to go back to sleep. Waking me up early on a non-work day was one of my biggest pet peeves. I feel that if you wake up two hours before the sun on a regular day, you should be allowed to sleep in two hours on the other.

“Wake up already!” Rainbow shouted again. Sill not opening my eyes, I flung my pillow towards where her voice was coming from, hearing a soft ‘thump’ a moment later.

“Oh yeah, because that really would have worked,” Rainbow chuckled.

With a final groan, I opened my eyes. Luckily, there was almost no light in my room, so I wouldn’t have to squint. Unfortunately, that just pushed the fact of how early it was.

“God damn it, Rainbow…” I groaned out as I grabbed my glasses from the side of my bed. Once they were on, I looked over towards where Rainbow Dash’s voice was coming from and groaned.

“Well, you gonna let me in or what?!” she demanded as she hovered outside one of my room’s window’s.

“Did I ever tell you how much I hate you?” I grumbled as I got out of my bed and putting on my pants. Once they were on, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw that Rainbow was no longer looking at me. But it quickly puttered out when I realized that she probably just saw me without my pants on.

“W-what do you want, Rainbow Dash,” I mumbled out, moving to the window and letting the prismatic mare in.

“I need a training buddy!” Rainbow replied as she settled into the room. “Applejack has morning chores and nopony else is up this early.”

“And so you decided that you would wake me up at bum fuck early,” I grumbled in an annoyed tone. I was still half asleep and the memories from last night weren’t helping.

“You said you were a ‘Marine’, so prove it,” Rainbow replied, trying to egg me on. “Besides, I can see the fat on your body from a mile away.”

“Wow, so you start staring at my ass from that far?” I asked in a joking manner, earning an embarrassed scowl from the mare.

“Anyways, let’s go!” Rainbow said as she recollected herself.

“Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but that aint happening,” I replied, more annoyed now than I had been a few moments ago.

“What, why?!” Rainbow demanded. “I thought you even said yourself that you wanted to lose some weight.”

“And I do,” I nodded. “But I don’t have the right cloths, it’s really fucking early and I really really don’t want to.”

“Then we’ll get Rarity to make you some. Hay, you could even go naked for all I care,” Rainbow groaned, signifying that I need to explain to her why humans wore clothing… again. “Come on, I really need a training buddy!”

“Come on, Rainbow Dash…” I grumbled as the mare actually began to pout.

“Fine…” I groaned after a few minutes. Looking around my room, I saw my cammies sitting off to one side of the room. “Get out of here so I can change.”

“I still don’t understand why you’re so concerned about cloths,” Rainbow chuckled as she left, probably patting herself on the back for convincing me to work out with her. “Hay, ponies are usually naked 24/7.”

“Yeah, ponies, not humans,” I replied as she closed the door behind her. With her gone, I walked over to my cammis and began to put all of it on, excluding the blouse.

“You’re seriously going to work out in that?” Rainbow’s voice suddenly asked mockingly.

“Gah! How long have you been watching?!” I demanded as I felt my cheeks heat up.

“I walked back in after like five seconds,” Rainbow chuckled with a smirk. “You really should pay attention.”

“Yeah, well… don’t do it again,” I groaned while pushing past the small mare.

“Calm down, sheesh,” Rainbow giggled. “You act like I saw your dick or something.”

“Can we please stop talking about this now?!” I blurted out, stopping in my kitchen to get some water before leaving. “I mean, seriously, this isn’t helping me want to be your training buddy.”

“Fine,” Rainbow blandly replied as she followed me outside.

“Okay,” I said looking off towards the newly rising sun. “What’s the game plan, cause the sooner we’re done, the sooner I can get breakfast.”

“So, first I was thinking of a five mile sprint around town as a warm up,” Rainbow began with a confident smile, missing my dropped jaw and look of horror. “From there, the real work out begins…”

“Let me stop you now while I can still feel my legs,” I quickly cut in. “Even if I were in a pair of shorts and running shoes, I wouldn’t be able to sprint five miles strait.”

“But you sprinted half that two days ago,” Rainbow replied with a confused look. “You sprinted all the way from Fluttershy’s to Rarity’s in like, 5 minutes, and you didn’t even look tired.”

“In full cammies? Yeah right,” I chuckled, not believing her in the slightest. I remembered getting there pretty fast, but I was nowhere near that fast.

“I’m not lying!” Rainbow yelled back, worrying me that it might wake any of my neighbors... who I have yet to meet. “I saw you with my own two eyes! So did half the weather team and part of the town.”

“Fine then,” I said, still not believing her. “After, we do some warm up stretches and exercises, I’ll run go on a run with you, but don’t expect me to run as fast as you think I can.”

“You better put out then,” Rainbow smirked with a determined look. “I’ll know if you didn’t and then… I’ll tell Fluttershy.”

“W-whatever,” I stuttered, a small part of me actually afraid for a moment.

“Okay, so why don’t you show me some of these stretches of yours?” Rainbow asked as we moved to an open spot besides my house.

“Just do what I do if you can,” I replied while starting with arm stretches. She was able to mimic my front arm stretches while sitting on her haunches, but had a lot of trouble with the ones behind her back.

“Your stretches are lame,” Rainbow grumbled as she watched me do a chest stretch.

“Meh,” I replied before sitting down so I could do some leg stretches.

Once again, Rainbow tried to mimic my stretches, but failed epically at them.

“You know you could just do some of your own right,” I said while standing back up. “Your body isn’t made to move like mine.”

“Buck you,” Rainbow grumbled before doing some stretches that reminded me of cats.

“It’s too early for this,” I mumbled to myself before marking a small space to do some sprints in. After the sprints, I did some side startle hops followed by some push-ups.

“Now, those I can do!” Rainbow proclaimed as she started doing push-ups with her wings.

“Right…” I replied without looking at her as I continued to do push ups.

“And that’s 100,” I called out as I finished my push-ups, surprising myself with how many I could do.

“N-not bad d-dude,” Rainbow huffed a few moments later as she finished her set as well.

“Right,” I said as I took a few breaths to ready myself. “Okay, so lets start that run.”

“Sweet!” Rainbow said before facing some random direction. “Just follow me! Readysetgo!”

Before I could even begin to understand what she said, the prismatic mare took off like a bullet. Sprinting down the path without looking back.

“Crap,” I cursed under my breath as I began to run forward.

At first, it seemed like this was a horrible idea as I began to feel a slight burn building up faster than normal, especially since I had boots on. But for some reason, the burn made me feel lighter and seemed to feed me more energy.

Before I realized it, I was beginning to catch up to Rainbow Dash, going at least two times faster than I have ever gone before.

I don’t know how long I followed Rainbow, but by the time we stopped, we were standing in front of my house once again, both panting heavily.

“See, I told you!” Rainbow shouted with a slight pant as I stopped a few feet away from her. “We just sprinted eight miles straight!”

“Eight miles,” I said, panting slightly in shock. I didn’t even feel that worn out, yet I just sprinted eight miles in boots and I feel like I could keep going.

“And you thought I was lying,” Rainbow chuckled proudly. But I didn’t pay her much attention.

How the fuck did I do that? Looking back at the path we came from, I tried to figure out how I did what I just did.

“Dude, are you okay?” Rainbow’s voice called from behind me. But for some reason, it seemed to be fading. “Cause you look kind of pale… I think.”

I meant to turn to address her, but I apparently went to fast and ended up on my ass.

“Chris?!” Rainbow shouted. But to me, it was just above a whisper.

“I’m… I’m gonna…” I began as something began to leak from my nose. “Take a nap…”

“Is he going to be okay, Nurse Redheart?” Twilight asked as the white mare finished checking Christopher’s breathing.

She, along with all her other friends stood inside Rarity’s boutique. This building being the closet thing Rainbow could bring their friend after he collapsed, blood flowing from his nose.

“He’s going to be fine,” Red Heart replied with a reassuring smile. “You were right to get me, especially sense we don’t have a proper medical record on him.”

“But what happened?” Fluttershy asked as worry still gripped her. She remembered leaving him in good health the night before and worried that it might have been her fault somehow.

“Magic exhaustion,” Redheart replied in a surprised tone. “If I’m understanding the symptoms right, he used more magic than his body had or could handle.”

“But ah thought humans couldn’t do magic?” Applejack questioned.

“He mentioned it, but didn’t follow up on it,” Twilight replied with a sigh. “I knew we should have finished the questions at the library.”

“Well, you’ll just have to wait until he wakes up,” Red Heart replied with a slightly stern tone. “Right now, he needs plenty of rest, and fluids when he wakes up.”

“Of course,” Fluttershy replied as she moved next to the couch that held her coltfriend.

“I also recommend having him come to the hospital for a proper physical,” Red Heart continued as she put her saddlebags on. “If something were to happen, we’ll need proper records to go off of and we may need to start a collection of his blood in case of emergencies.”

“I’ll be sure he goes to that,” Rarity chimed, walking Red Heart out of the back room and out of the shop. “Thank you ever so much for coming.”

“It’s my job,” Red Heart replied with a chuckle before finally walking off.

Back in the room, everypony looked worriedly at Christopher, hoping he actually was okay.

“Explain to me again, how this happened?” Twilight asked Rainbow Dash.

“I already told you,” Rainbow groaned, flailing her hooves. “We went on a run and when we finished, he suddenly got really pale, fell down and passed out!”

“Well, it’s a good thing you brought him here then,” Rarity said as she walked back in. “Magic exhaustion is no joke.”

“He’s going to be okay though, right?” Fluttershy asked, her voice heavy with concern as she used a hoof to take Chris’s glasses off his face.

“He’ll be fine, Fluttershy,” Twilight replied. “I had it all the time when I first started to learn from Princess Celestia.”

“Okay…” Fluttershy quietly replied as she placed a small kiss on Christopher’s forehead.

“You know,” Rarity chimed, drawing the rooms attention. “Since we’re all already here, why don’t we get the measurements out of the way?”

“Uhg, do we have too?” Rainbow groaned as she fell onto her back. “It sounds so boring!”

“Come on Dashie!” Pinkie chirped. “If we get this done now, we won’t have to do it later!”

“I’m going to wait here,” Fluttershy replied, taking a moment to look back at her friends. “I want to be here in case he wakes up.”

“That’s quite all right dear,” Rarity responded with a nod. “If you need anything, we’ll be in the next room. Come along everypony!”

With that, Rarity led all the others out of the room, leaving Fluttershy and a sleeping Chris to their own.

“…and then, she squirted milk out of her nose,” a familiar voice giggled softly as I slowly began to awaken.

“Ow, my head,” I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes to a blurry world. I almost immediately began to cough as I realized how dry my throat was.

“Chris, your awake! Oh, thank goodness,” Fluttershy said as her butterscotch yellow fur filled my hazy vision as she cradled my head into a hug. “I was so worried when, Rainbow Dash said you collapsed.”

“Wha… what happened?” I coughed out as my head spun slightly. I was really grateful for Fluttershy at the moment since her hold helped keep me from falling out of whatever I was on. “I remember running… and then everything began to spin…”

“Nurse Red Heart said it was because you used too much magic,” Fluttershy quietly replied as I felt a straw meet my lips.

“That makes sense,” I replied before taking the cup I knew she had and began to drink, ignoring the straw. I continued to drink for a few moments before what Fluttershy said actually registered in my head.

“Magic?!” I blurted out; spraying the mare with whatever water was still in my mouth. Even though it was a little hard to see, I could still make out the shocked look on her face when I sprayed her and I immediately felt bad for it.

“I am so sorry about that, Fluttershy,” I began to apologize. “You just caught me off guard when you said I used magic and… well… humans shouldn’t be able to do magic.”

“They can’t?” a new voice asked, drawing my attention to a purple blob that was entering the room I was in. a moment later, Fluttershy gave me my glasses and I confirmed that it was, in fact, Twilight.

“Like I said yesterday, no,” I replied, feeling a little better now. “There were always legends and myths, but that’s all they ever were. Although, there were some that believed our current science and technology was a form of magic as well.”

“Fascinating,” Twilight squealed as she looked behind her. “Quick, Spike, write that down. I defiantly want to look more into that.”

“I’ll add it to the list,” the little dragon groaned as he walked into the room and looked at me with a relived smile. “Hey Chris, glad you’re okay.”

“Thanks Spike,” I replied as Fluttershy nuzzled the side of my face. Usually, I hated whenever I was touched or hugged. But when you got a soft squeaky Fluttershy, you make an exception. “Where am I?”

“At Rarity’s boutique,” Twilight said as she came closer, her horn lighting up slightly. I began to feel a strange feeling through my body as the mare continued to talk. “Rainbow Dash brought you here after you collapsed because it was the closest house she could think of. While Rarity watched you, she got everypony else and Nurse Red Heart from the local hospital.”

“So I collapsed… after using too much magic?” I asked, still confused on if that were true or not.

“According to Nurse Red Heart, yes,” Twilight nodded as her horn stopped glowing and the feeling I had disappeared. “It seems like everything’s back to normal. Your muscles might be sore for a while though.”

“Uh…thanks,” I replied as Fluttershy helped me to sit up. I looked around to find that I was lying on Rarity’s fainting couch in what looked like one of the mare’s back rooms. “I guess that explains how I ran so fast for so long. But that still doesn’t tell me how I did magic.”

“Maybe it was your element,” Spike said with a slight look of realization. “I mean, it makes the most sense in this case. It’s a highly magical artifact that ponies still don’t fully understand. This could be one of the side effects it gives.”

“I thought this this was supposed to be absorbing magic,” I said while looking at the brace. Amazingly, I could barely tell it was there unless I looked at it. “Not give it to me?”

“Isn’t that a good thing though?” Fluttershy asked me as she sat beside me. “Maybe if you keep using it, it won’t build up and change you like the Princesses said.”

“Wait, what do you mean by that?” Twilight asked, making me realize that I had only told Fluttershy about what happened to the other humans that had arrived here.

“Princess Celestia told me that all the other humans that arrived usually changed into something else shortly after arriving here because of this world’s magic,” I replied. “I told Fluttershy the other day when we were walking around.”

“She never told me anything about that!” Twilight suddenly yelled, a worried look in her eyes.

“She probably didn’t want to worry you,” I quickly began, seeing one of her panic attacks beginning to rear its head. “It was probably to protect the ones that had arrived and changed.”

“I guess I understand,” Twilight replied, looking a little calmer. “But what if somepony really famous had been human at one point…? What if everypony was a human at one point?!”

*Smack*

“Snap out of it, Twilight!” Spike shouted after smacking the mare’s face. “You’re starting to sound like Lyra! Lyra, for ponies sake!”

“Sorry, sorry,” Twilight replied as she shook her head clear and took a deep breath. “I’ll just send the princess a letter about that later then.”

“You do that,” I sighed, my stomach deciding to growl at that moment.

“Looks like someponies hungry,” Fluttershy giggled as she got off the couch and went over to her saddlebags.

I’ll just be honest… I watched her flank the whole time she was digging in her bags for something.

A few moments later, Fluttershy pulled out a small clear container. Inside, I could see eggs, toast, some fruit and something that looked like gods greatest gift; bacon.

“I was actually bringing you breakfast when Rainbow found me,” the mare sheepishly smiled as she brought me the food. “Eat as much as you want.”

“Wow, thanks Fluttershy,” I said, taking the container in hand and kissing the mare’s forehead.

“Once you’re done, just come out front,” Twilight said as she turned to leave with Spike. “Applejack had to leave to finish her chores, but everypony else is getting their dress measurements done.”

“No prob,” I replied as I began to eat my breakfast with a plastic fork Fluttershy had put in the container as well.

For a few minutes, I sat there and ate as Fluttershy sat next to me, leaning against my side. Every now and then, I would hold a fork full of eggs or diced fruit out for Fluttershy to have; which she always accepted with a smile and warm glow.

“Is this real bacon?” I asked as I tried the first strip. It tasted and smelt like bacon, but it just looked off to me.

“Y-yes…” Fluttershy shyly replied, her eyes fixed on my mouth as I ate the meat. “I-I get a small amount sent to me for my carnivorous animal friends.”

“Thanks,” I smiled as I left half of the bacon in the container alone. I know it was a sin against all that is right in the world to do so, but I was going to give it to Geralt. I’m pretty sure I haven’t given him anything to eat…ever, so I don’t want him attacking anyone.

Before I could do anything else, Fluttershy lunged forward, pressing her lips against mine and forcing her tongue into my mouth. Caught off guard, I couldn’t help but notice how much attention the mare’s tongue was paying towards my canines. Every time it glided across one, her body would shiver and she’d press herself further against me.

“W-wow,” I chuckled once Fluttershy pulled away a few minutes later. Her face was flushed as she stared at me with half closed eyes, panting heavily. “Where did that come from?”

“S-sorry,” Fluttershy replied as she shook her head a little, her blush intensifying. “I-I just don’t know what came over me.”

“Well, I like it,” I said, flashing a tooth filled smile. Her eyes immediately locked onto my mouth as her wings suddenly flared out.

“O-oh… my…” she quietly squeaked once she noticed what happened. Her face was redder then an apple as she tried to force her wings back down while trying to hide her embarrassment at the same time.

“So my teeth are a turn on for you?” I chuckled out, watching as Fluttershy tried to keep her wings down using a hoof.

“A-a little…” Fluttershy replied timidly as her wings began to sink on their own.

“That’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” I told her, brushing her mane from her face. “I think it’s cute.”

“O-oh,” Fluttershy said with a smile, her face somehow becoming even redder. “Is there… is there anything I have… that turns you on?”

“Uh…” I dumbly replied. While talking about this kind of stuff in one of Rarity’s back rooms, I knew I owed her something at least.

“Your flank.” I quickly replied, doing my best to keep my cool.

“M-m-my fl-flank?!” the mare squeaked out as heat waves began to come off her face as she looked back towards her plot.

“I think it looks nice,” I continued, rubbing the back of my head awkwardly.

“I-I’m sorry, but I’m not ready for that kind of stuff yet,” Fluttershy stuttered out as she covered her back lower half with her tail.

“What do you mean?” I asked honestly.

“Ponies consider anything involving the flank to be quite intimate,” Rarity’s voice suddenly replied with a giggle. “A bit of an erogenous area actually. Looking is okay, but touching is a different matter.”

“Eep!” Fluttershy chirped as she jumped up and hid behind the couch.

“How long have you been standing there?!” I blurted out as I looked toward the rooms entrance. Rarity stood there, looking into the room with a little smirk.

“Oh, for quite some time,” Rarity giggled as se sauntered in, swaying her hips more than necessary with each step. “But I figured you to be a flank stallion early on.”

“Uh… thanks?” I questioned as Rarity took a seat to my right, a small smirk on her face. “Is there something you need?”

“Oh, not really darling,” Rarity replied with a flick of her mane. “The others were just wondering what’s taking you two so long.”

“Right,” I sighed while standing up. My legs felt a little sore and weak, but I knew I could still make due. “Might as well get this over with, come on Fluttershy.”

“Actually,” Rarity said, looking over as Fluttershy began to slink away from behind the couch. “I was hoping to speak to her about something… important.”

“Okay… I’ll just be out here then,” I replied as I made my way out of the room. I was about to do the classic thing and eavesdrop, but a pair of pink hooves pulled me away from the door.

“You’re okay!” Pinky cheered, as she pulled me into a literal bone cracking hug.

“Cant *crack* breath!” I wheezed out as several cracks came from my back.

“Opps,” Pinkie giggled as she let go with a sheepish smile. “Sorry.”

“No prob,” I coughed out as Rainbow Dash and Twilight made their way over.

”Yeah… sorry about this earlier…” Rainbow began to say, her eyes locked onto the ground with an uncomfortable look on her face.

“It’s not your fault, Rainbow,” I replied, reaching out and giving her ear a scratch. Just like Twilight, she adapted a dopey grin and began to press her head into my hand further. “I went on the run and I didn’t stop to question what was going on.

“Hell, I should actually be thanking you,” I continued, removing my hand and earning a small pout. “Thanks to that, I just learned that I may be able to use magic.”

“Really?” Rainbow asked looking at Twilight for confirmation.

“Apparently,” Twilight replied with a nod. “Spike actually may be right when he said that it might be because of his element.”

“Yeah, about that,” Rainbow suddenly said, looking at the element I wore. “Why does he get to keep his, but we had to give ours up?”

“Because Princess Celestia said that it was best if she protected them at the castle,” Twilight replied. “The only reason, Chris has his is because its apparently helping him keep his human form.”

“And it gives me magic,” I added with an accomplished smirk. Although, it fell when I realized that I had no idea how to use it. “I just gotta figure out how to use it though.”

“Wait, what was that about keeping his human form?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Apparently the natural magic of this world will change me into a pony,” I sighed. “It’s apparently a fast transformation. My element is keeping that from happening.”

“But what about when you weren’t wearing it?” Rainbow asked. “Did anything change then?”

“I… actually don’t know,” I replied with a bit of worry. A part of me hopped that the fact that I looked like a cartoon was the most that had happened. But another suspected that there could have been more.

“Nurse Red Heart actually suggested that you go to the hospital and schedule a full physical,” Twilight said. “Maybe we can figure out any changes from that.”

“I guess that works,” I replied.

“Why don’t you want to be a pony though?” Pinkie asked with a smile. “Cause being a pony is fun! And then I can throw you a “Congratulations on becoming a pony” party and…”

“Sorry, Pinkie,” I quickly interrupted, covering her muzzle with my hand. “But I like being human because that’s how I was born.”

“I guess that makes sense,” Rainbow sighed.

“Yeah…” I nodded.

“Why don’t we head over and schedule that appointment now?” Twilight asked. “The sooner its done, the better.”

“But I haven’t even taken his measurements yet?” Rarity pouted while she and Fluttershy walked in. Both looked really happy though, so there was that.

“Then how did you make those clothes for me?” I asked, only just now realizing that I was still in my cammies.

“Fluttershy got them for me,” Rarity replied as the mentioned mare blushed slightly.

“Well, why don’t we do this then,” I began. “We’ll get those measurements done now, and then I’ll stop at home and get showered and changed before heading to the hospital?”

“Or you can just shower here,” Rarity replied with a devious smirk. “I think I have a plain shirt and shorts I was working on around here somewhere that you can ware.”

“If you want, I can go set up an appointment for you at the hospital as well,” Twilight added. “I have to give them a copy of my records anyways, so it shouldn’t be any trouble.”

“I still gotta feed Geralt,” I voiced out as I noticed Fluttershy begin to press against my side.

“I can take care of him for you,” Fluttershy offered. “I have some shopping to do afterwards though.”

“Thanks, Flutters,” I said while petting her mane.

“You should totally take that wolf shopping with you,” Rainbow chuckled at towards her shy friend. “I bet you’ll get all kinds of deals.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea…” Fluttershy replied, earning a few chuckles.

“Well then, let’s get to work,” Rarity said as everyone began to leave. I made sure to give Fluttershy a kiss to the forehead before waving everyone else goodbye.

“So…” I began, looking back at Rarity. “Shower?”

“This way, darling,” Rarity purred, leading the way.

“Have a marvelous day darling,” Rarity giggled as I walked out of the boutique a few hours later.

“Y-yeah…” I timidly replied, my cheeks warm. Throughout the entire time I was here, Rarity kept brushing herself against me, even brushing her tail over my crotch several times.

Another problem was that the “Shorts” she apparently had, were more like Speedos with some leg. I had to think about dead puppies for almost the whole thing.

“I should have some better shoes for you by Monday, so be sure to stop by here before work,” Rarity added, giving me a wink before she closed the door, leaving me outside in the tight shorts and a plane white shirt. She kept everything else but my boots, saying that she would wash them for me.

“Please let no one be in my bathroom,” I groaned out as I began to walk back to my home in my awkward outfit.

When I got home I was more than glad to find that only Geralt was there. His face stuffed in a small bowl of something. So with a relived sigh, I began to make my way towards my room, fully intent on reliving some stress.

*Knock knock knock*

Or I was…

“Yes?” I asked in a slightly annoyed tone while I answered the door. What greeted me was nothing more than a stack of floating comics.

“Hey, Chris!” Spike’s voice called from below the comics. “I brought my Power Ponies collection for the “Man Cave”.”

“Great…” I sighed, grabbing some of the stack and bringing it to said room. I knew that alone time wasn’t going to be happening anytime soon.

“And Twilight set your appointment for next Saturday,” Spike told me as he set his stack down. “It was the only opening they had for all the tests they want to run.”

“That’s fine,” I said while grabbing one of the comics.

“Uh… what are you wearing?” Spike asked when he noticed my cloths.

“Only the latest in fashion,” I replied in a high pitched voice, not even looking up from the comic.

“So, Rarity made them?” Spike asked. Even without looking, I could tell the little guy had a love struck look on his face.

“You really like her don’t ya?” I asked, putting the comic down.

“W-what?!” Spike blurted out. “N-no way dude! Girls are gross and… and…”

“Hey, it’s all good little dude,” I replied with a chuckle. “She’s an attractive mare.”

“Y-yeah…” Spike said with a slight glow of his cheeks. He just stood there like that for a few moments before looking at me. “Do you think she… you know… likes me?”

“To be honest…” I began, thinking about it. I took a moment to think back to the show and what I currently knew. “I think she likes you…but probably not in the kind of way you’re hoping for.”

“Oh…” Spike sighed dejectedly.

“Come on, Spike,” I said, moving over to pat the dragon on the back. “There’s someone out there for you and you’ll find them one day.”

“I guess,” Spike sighed. “I just wished she would look at me like she does you.”

“What do you mean?” I asked, a little confused by his statement.

“She’s always giving you those lovey dovey eyes whenever I see the two of you together,” Spike groaned. “She obviously likes you way more than me.”

“Well, you don’t need to worry about me taking her from you, Spike,” I chuckled. “I got, Fluttershy.”

“I guess,” Spike sighed as he took a seat on the ground.

“Come on, Spike, buck up champ,” I said while taking a seat next to him. “I’m sure there’s plenty of fillies your age that would love to go out with you.”

“But I like Rarity,” Spike replied.

“And no one’s saying you can’t,” I replied with a chuckle. “Who knows, maybe Rarity’s mind will change.

“This is a different world after all,” I quietly finished to myself.

“Unless she joins your herd…” Spike grumbled under his breath.

“What was that?” I asked, unable to make out what he said.

“Nothing,” the slightly depressed dragon sighed. “I’m just gonna read some comics.”

“Hey, why don’t I show you that picture of Geralt I was telling you about,” I offered hoping to cheer him up. “Just let me go get something.”

“Really?” Spike asked as I stood back up, a curious expression on his face. “Okay!”

“Be back in a minute,” I said as I left the room and went upstairs to mine. I quickly pulled out the second pair of cloths Rarity had mad and put them on over the ones I already had on. This time, the pants were a black kaki and the shirt was a simple long sleeved red one.

The last thing I grabbed was my phone that was sitting next to my bed. I had yet to turn it back on since I turned it off the first day I was here because it was almost dead. But a few minutes should be too bad. So, as I headed back to the man cave, I held the power button to turn it back on.

“Alright Spike, this is it,” I said as I entered the room. The little guy was sitting in a chair made out of several stacks of comics, a excited look on his face. “This is a cellphone.”

“Like what you told Twilight about?” Spike asked. “Twilight was telling me that there are telephones in some of the bigger cities like Manehatten.”

“Yeah,” I said as I moved next to him. “Check this out.”

“Hey, isn’t that the mailmare?” Spike asked when he noticed my lock screens wallpaper.

“Ignore that,” I waved off, forgetting that I had that on there. I quickly unlocked my phone and opened the picture gallery. Luckily, all my porn pics were in a secret folder on my phone, so that wasn’t the first thing to pop up. Instead, I opened up my “Game” folder, were I had at least one image of every main character of every game I’ve played since I was ten. So there were a couple hundred.

I really like video games…

“This, is Geralt of Rivia, Witcher from the house of wolfs,” I said as I pulled up the image. The best part was that the image hadn’t changed to match the world like I had.

“Wow…” Spike said as his eyes gleamed at the image. Using my other hand, I zoomed in on Geralt’s face, so Spike could see the eyes. “He does kinda look like him.”

“And this is Bat Man,” I said, swiping to a picture of the dark knight. “Way better than your Bat mare.”

“Yeah right,” Spike scoffed as he looked at the image. “He doesn’t look so tough.”

“Are you kidding me,” I said, once again zooming in on the image. “This guy has had almost every bone in his body broken and fought while like that!”

“Pfft, Bat Mare is still cooler,” Spike said as he looked at the image again. “What’s that mean?”

“What?” I asked, looking at the phone.

“That,” Spike said as he pointed to the battery icon near the top, it standing out the most due to it currently flashing.

“That how… much…” I began, trailing off as I noticed the number beside it.

“How much what?” Spike asked as I continued to stare.

“80%... its at 80% now?” I asked myself. Last I remember, it was at 20% and leaving it off for a few days isn’t enough to recharge it by 60%. In fact, the battery symbol said it was charging.

“What?” Spike asked, waving a claw in front of my face.

“Its… its how much power my phone has,” I told him, trying to figure out what was going on. “But its charging somehow.”

“Is that a bad thing?” Spike asked.

“Hell no,” I chuckled as I went into the settings and checked the battery status. “I just don’t know how this is possible.”

“Maybe its another thing with your element?” Spike offered.

“Really? Here hold this,” I said, handing the dragon my phone. I watched as the charging symbol disappeared, confirming Spikes suspicion. “That’s awesome!”

“What’s this mean now?” Spike asked as he tried to swipe the screen. Unfortunately, his claws didn’t register in the screen and luckily, they didn’t leave a mark.

“It means now we can listen to some bad-A music,” I chuckled, taking the phone and going into my music folder. If there were two things that I had a lot of on my phone, it was pictures and music. I had a few movies and a few cell games, but that was about it.

“Whats bad-A mean?” Spike asked innocently.

“I’ll tell you in a few years,” I said as the first song began to play.

“Thanks for watching Spike,” Twilight said as she made her way out with the sleeping dragon on her back.

“And thanks for the questionnaire,” I said as I held up the large stack of papers she had brought me. I couldn’t help but chuckle when she had handed it to me and the first thing she said was that she wanted it by Monday.

“Your welcome,” Twilight replied innocently. “I should be at the library all day tomorrow, so if you need anything, you know where to find me.”

“Of course Twi, see ya,” I replied as the mare left.

“Did Twilight just leave?” Fluttershy asked as she came into the hall. She had arrived a few hours ago, bearing some groceries for me.

“Yeah,” I replied as I gave the mare a kiss and picked her up.

“Chris,” Fluttershy giggled as I carried her into the living room. “Put me down.”

“Give me a second,” I chuckled as I placed her next to the fire place. A warm blaze having been started earlier. I quickly took a seat afterword and laid down, using the mare as a pillow.

“Comfy?” Fluttershy asked with a giggle, kissing my forehead.

“Defiantly,” I sighed, breathing in the flowery scent of the mare. “Your all soft and warm.”

“Thank you,” Fluttershy sighed as we both continued to stare at the flames.

“You didn’t have to bring that food, you know,” I said a few minutes later. “I can go a few days off of water and cake. You don’t need to waste your money.”

“It’s okay,” Fluttershy told me, giving a smile. “I know you don’t have any bits, so I want to help.”

“Well, what do you want in return?” I asked, looking up with my own smile.

“Can we just stay like this?” Fluttershy asked, laying her head next to mine and kissing my cheek.

“Say no more,” I replied, looking into her eyes. A few minutes later, her eyes closed and the rhythmic breaths of sleep overtook her.

Smirking, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and took a quick picture of the sleeping mare. With a few swipes and presses, my new wallpaper was of the sleeping mares face.

“Fascinating,” a voice suddenly said, causing me to jump to me feet in surprise.

“Princess Luna?” I quietly asked as I found the mare standing a few feet away. She actually looked a little larger now, and there was a slight sparkle to her mane.

“Verily,” the moon princess replied just as quietly. “We hath come to check on the’, as well as to partake in the moon pies.”

“Uh… they’re in the kitchen,” I said pointing in the direction.

“Huzza!” Luna chirped as she skipped away. Once she was gone, I bent back down and picked up the sleeping mare, deciding to let her sleep in my bed for the night.

After tucking the mare in, I looked back at the foot of the bed where Geralt lay.

“Make sure nothing messes with her, got it?” I told, giving the wolf a slight glare. He replied with a snort before laying back down.

Going back downstairs, I found Luna in the kitchen with a half empty tray of moon pies.

“These are most good,” the princess smiled with a mouth full of pie. “Who is the baker?”

“Pinkie Pie brought them from Sugar Cube Corner,” I told her as I took one for myself. I ignored the glare from the princess as I finished the treat and leaned against the counter. “Are those the only reason you’re here right now?”

“We must admit that there is more to our visit this night,” Luna sighed as she finished another pie. “Sister told us about your trouble from one night prior.”

“Oh,” I sighed with an uncomfortable look. “Had a bit of a break down.”

“It is understandable,” Luna replied as she moved over to me. “Would a hug make thou feel better?”

“Only a fool would turn down a hug from a princess,” I chuckled as she gave me a small hug. “Thanks.”

“Thout art welcome,” Luna replied as she pulled away from the hug with an odd smile. “We also have something else for thee.”

With a quick flick of her horn, a bag the size of a small melon appeared on the counter next to me. The jiggling of it letting me know what it was.

“I can’t take that,” I immediately replied.

“Stallions,” Luna sighed before fixing me with a stern glare. “Thout shall take it. Us and our sister hath thought about it and hath decided that thou needs something to start on. Even if thou hath acquired a form of paying work, thou will still need necessities.”

“I won’t owe anyone more bits, will I?” I asked with an uncomfortable sigh. Luna was right though, I needed a lot of things… and a toothbrush.

“It took some work, but we decided to take it from our nephews allowance,” Luna replied with a smile. “That pompous stallion had the nerve to try and lay us.”

I couldn’t help but choke slightly on my own saliva at the passive yet agitated tone Luna used to say that.

“Was he as much a pompous twat on thou world’s rendition of us?” Luna asked.

“Uh… if we’re talking about Blueblood, then yeah,” I replied with an uncomfortable shrug. “I mean, he actually used Ra-“

*Slip*

“Our mothers magic at work,” Luna giggled after I slipped and fell to the ground. “But it is good to know somepony that understands our strife.”

“Celestia only sees a misunderstood colt, doesn’t she?” I groaned while standing back up.

“Yes!” Luna replied with a heavy sigh. “She doth not see the atrocities he commits, using her name as a shield. We hath been home for but a week and already we see his horrid actions.”

“One, I know some good pranks you can pull on him,” I said, earning a big smile. “And two, we gotta work on your talking.”

“Sister hath said that we speak out of the common tongue,” Luna replied with a slight frown. “She hath said that we may have to take lessons.”

“I can help you if you want,” I said while pulling my phone out. It was only nine thirty and I was still wide awake. “I got a few hours before I was planning to go to bed.”

“Thou would?” Luna asked, surprised by my offer. “It is not too late for thee?”

“Humans have a bit of a mixed sleep schedule,” I replied. “People my age tend to stay up late and sleep in late. It’s usually when we are much younger or older that we sleep through the whole night.”

“For true?” Luna asked with a small glisten in her eye.

“Yeah,” I nodded, while waving for Luna to follow me. “Come on, you can tell me about the constellations while I help you with your speech.”

“Huzza!” Luna giggled, following me out the door and into the night.

Author's Notes:

The title from this one can actually be found in multiple items.

Not really much to happen in this chapter, but they aren't all going to be really long. I may even release another chapter this weekend just for the hell of it.
