After me and Twilight finished our game plan to attempt to stop Nightmare Moon (these damn names though), I had left and gone down to get something to drink. We had talked for at least an hour and my throat had gotten sore from it. The plan was a simple plan really. I would distract Nightmare Moon while Twilight went to look for the Elements of Harmony. The only reason we talked for so long was that I had to explain what exactly what my equipment did. I did tell her that I had armor, but didn't activate it.

I had also joked here and there about what it did exactly but quickly corrected myself before she took it seriously. Funny, I had never seen a pony scribble down notes so fast with her magic, then scratch out the joke in a frantic manner.

I got to the drinks and looked at the options. There were several bowls filled with various juices that each looked appealing. The table was long and could easily seat several ponies. I decided that the bright red liquid which I assumed was fruit punch. And it was a classic choice too, so nobody could really get mad. I saw the drinks vibrate from the bass of the stereos playing in the corner, along with the music being blasted from that DJ pony, who was dancing with the crowd behind the control panel.

I levitated a cup and spoon and poured myself a drink. Surely no one spiked them while no one was looking, right? Taking a sip, I felt myself start to loosen up, only to be kicked in the behind by a random pony.

"Ack!" I yelped, only for my cry of pain to get smothered by the everlasting dance music.

'If I can punch my leg with enough force to break a large tree in half then how the hell did I feel that.' I thought.

Ignoring the particular assault to my dumper, I raised the cup to my lips and took another swig. It had a raspberry taste that I enjoyed for the most part. I looked to the crowd and watched them dance. So care free, and happy. I let out a happy sigh, and went to the snack table, which was on the other side crowd. I didn't want to go through them and I couldn't use my wings, which I had covered with a sweater. It wasn't a very interesting one. Just a light blue color that hid my wings easier. I circled around the crowd and bumped into several ponies, and after saying sorry, passed.

Once there I looked at the snacks, which were mostly devoured and gone. I searched the table for any salvageable food and to my dismay there were only a couple of cookies and cupcakes. Grabbing the first one with my magic I raised it to my mouth and took a bite.

The flavors all came at once, and overtook my senses into devouring the whole thing in one go. I chuckled as I remembered the time I went to a party once and almost put myself into a coma. Man, I know food is good, but surely six plates is enough to warrant some form of restraint. I did not know restraint, when I was younger.

I felt something bump into me again, this time my flank. Turning I saw a white mare with a bright red mane and tail with a lighter highlight and a rose on her flank. I noticed a couple ponies in the back who were watching us from afar. One was pink and had a blonde mane and tail with a picture of a lily and the other was a lighter violet than Twilight and had a light green mane and tail and was sporting a daisy on her flank. Looking back at the mare who had purposely bumped into me she looked at me with forest green eyes.

"Hi! I noticed that you were alone and decided to invite you over! My name's Roseluck! Nice to meet you!" She yelled over the loud music.

"Uh, hi?! I'm Franz, I just got here a few hours ago!" I yelled back, mirroring her voice level.

"Come on! Lets go back to my friends!" She motioned to the two ponies who were watching us. They both looked at each other before pretending to have small talk. Somethings up, and the gangbang theory came back to mind again.

We cut through the crowd as I followed closely behind her, making sure to not step on anyone. Once across, she introduced me to her friends, who in turn, acted like they weren't just watching me a little bit ago.

"Lets go somewhere quiet, like outside!" Said Roseluck, telling her friends and I.

I saw the back door and went there and the three of them followed me. Opening the door I saw several ponies scattered around the back, but payed no mind to them. The three of them got out and I shut the door. The loud music now toned down to just hearing the faint bass, and felling it too.

Turning to them I got a little self conscience from their watching. One of them, the light violet one, broke the silence.

"Hi, I'm Lily, and she's Daisy, and were florists that work at a small business near the center of Ponyville. Rose happened to see you go up to the new pony's room, and you were up there for a while." She said, leaning her head in a little with a small smirk.

A heat rushed to my face and frowned at them.

"It's not what you think. We were only talking about how mass cannot be created and destroyed, only warped. It seemed to cool her off a bit." I said. It wasn't the truth, but I was reasonable enough to not cause a panic induced stampede.

Daisy seemed to think that I was telling the truth. She smiled and spoke.

"I know, we just like giving new ponies a hard time. So, were you from?" She asked.

I coughed, the question catching me off guard entirely. Crap, I hadn't thought that far yet.

"Well, ah, you see, I don't think it's anywhere you've heard of. At least, I think." I said, raising my hoof to the back of my head.

"Well, there are a lot of small villages scattered all over Equestria. So you're bound to come from somewhere." Said Roseluck.

"Yeah, although, some went to form larger cities and stuff." Offered Lily.

"Ooh! Have you visited Las Pegasus?" Asked Daisy. Jesus, so many puns. I'm starting to think this place is just a ponified version of earth.

"N-no, I didn't live anywhere near there. And I'd rather not say where. But it was an alright town." I said simply. Honestly, a lot of people there were nice, but the town itself wasn't great. Humble even. Perhaps to a fault.

"Oh, okay." Said Daisy.

"Well if you ever need a bouquet, or roses-" Lily was cut off by Roseluck.

"-Or a special somepony!"

'Like I have that in mind...' I thought.

"-come on over. Then we can hang out some more and talk about... whatever you'd like."

I really wanted to say no, but the looks they were giving me made my heart ache. Or maybe I was having a heart attack from how they were making those puppy dog eyes. That, or the punch really was spiked.

"Sure, I'll probably swing by. Maybe even get something. Who knows, I might even... uh... I'm rambling again. Yeah, I'll swing by." I said, slightly annoyed by my unnecessary amounts of words.

"Alright. Well, see you later then." Said Roseluck coming closer.

I was confused on what she was doing exactly when she wrapped her forearms around my shoulder. I stood there, blankly looking at the other two ponies in hope that they'll explain exactly why she was hugging me. Instead, they just rolled their eyes and smiled.

"Don't worry, Heat season ended a few days ago." Heat? isn't that when...

I realized I had been holding my breath for a bit. I took a whiff of air when I smelled a smelly smell that smells smelly. It was actually a sweet rosy fragrance that had a bit of a musk to it. Or was it spice? I wasn't sure, and It sure as hell made me uncomfortable. I raised my hoof to her chest and pushed away. She looked at me with a smile before turning back to her friends.

"I know. But still, maybe next time." She said with a wink.

"Uh, you're messing with me again, Aren't you." I said.

'Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!' I thought.

She gave me another wink before saying her answer.

"Maybe."

'It's close enough!'

"So, goodnight?" I said, hoping to cut off the conversation and go back inside. The last few cupcakes were looking very promising.

"Goodnight!" The three of them said before heading inside. Roseluck, for some reason, kept looking back at me. And every time she did, I nodded my head in order to silently encourage her that I would be fine. She only did it about twice before finally being fully back inside the Library. I let out a groan of annoyance. I honestly wanted to go back for those cupcakes. And now it'll be all awkward if I go in.

"Inaudible muttering." I said.

I remembered I had left my saddlebags upstairs with Twilight. And I didn't want to bump awkwardly into Daisy, Lily, and/or Roseluck. Especially Roseluck. I shivered as I imagined her licking my ear. That would be hard to explain away. Unless they're creepy weirdo's who perv on people. Who knows, but at them moment, I decided that my bag was fine. and it's extra secure with that energy lock I put on it. I made it myself and it was inspired my the Spartan Armor Restraint. I'm actually proud of myself.

But then again, she might find out about them and I'll have a bad time explaining it to her.

I began walking to the window and peered inside. Sure enough, ponies were still dancing like it was the end of the world. Once I was sure I was out of range of onlookers I tried to spread my wings, then remembering something. I'm wearing a sweater to cover them.

"Oh yeah! I can jump high. Duh!" I said, twitching my feathers. I looked back at them for a second. Huh, guess they can do that, even if I have them bound to a sweater.

I found the balcony and analyzed how far it was off the ground. If a pony usually measures around 3 1/2 feet, and if I stack a bunch of them on top of each other, then that means I would have to jump 12-14 feet in the air. But I'm bad at math so I'll probably overshoot it and fall off the other side.

"Eh, fuck it." I said, prepping my launch.

Once I had gathered enough courage I jumped.

"Kobe!" I said more to myself to try and ease my pain if I didn't make it. Now, I was expecting to overshoot it or not have a strong enough kick but I actually undershot it with a too strong of a start and I crashed into the underside of the balcony. Thankfully, I didn't break anything, but I did make a loud THWACK noise. It probably woke up Twilight, but I'm hoping she was still asleep. I had also stuck myself into a branch and was dangling with the sweater covering my face. I gave an annoyed puff as I tried to kick my way free but to no avail. I heard the sound of the balcony door open and the clip-clop of Twilight's hooves.

"Hello? Franz is that you?" She asked slightly annoyed. OH SHIT!

"Waddup." I said nonchalantly. God, if I don't reveal myself as a human, then my references will be a dead giveaway. I could always say I'm from the future, but that'll be even harder to explain away.

"What are you doing under the balcony?" She asked.

"I saw a squirrel and it had a very tasty looking, uh, nuts. WALNUTS!" I spit out pathetically.

I was expecting her to not believe me. And I was right. Which was weird for me to be right.

"I don't believe you. I have a hard time thinking you were wrestling a squirrel for a walnut. And this is a hollowed out great pine.

"No! He had two and I wanted one. And he wouldn't give me one. So I went into his stash and he, uh, bit me and I jumped." I said, getting more quiet the longer I talked. This was the dumbest excuse I have ever come up with.

"Oh really, And where did he bite you?" She asked, coming closer to the balcony edge. Ack! My wings!

"AAH! NO STAPH!" I yelped and kicked furiously. The branch finally snapped and I fell. Something inside me took over and my wings flared out and corrected my descent onto my hooves. It happened so quickly that I didn't have time to register it for a few seconds. The branch landed a few inches from my hooves and sure enough, a squirrel landed on my head along with several walnuts hitting the floor. I looked up and saw the squirrel look back at me with the same expression as me. Confusion.

"Uh, truce?" I offered awkwardly. Said squirrel only shrugged and jumped off my head, scratching it a little from his tiny sharp claws.

Looking around and making sure nobody saw me, and thankfully no one did. I looked up and saw Twilight looking down at me with a bewildered expression.

"What exactly happened?" She asked, losing her look and taking a more serious gaze.

I decided it would be best if I came clean. Well, at least my intentions.

"Well, I had left my saddlebags upstairs next to a wall and I didn't want to go through the crowd, so I thought about taking a different route and started climbing the side of the tree and up to the balcony." I said, after a moment of consideration.

She pondered for a second, and frowned promptly after.

"Then what did you hit on the way up?" She said immediately. Well, here goes my maximum effort.

"I jumped." I said.

"You jumped from a branch, and hit your head on the floor, and got stuck in a branch that happened to catch your hind legs?" She questioned.

"Yup, something like that." I said, slightly quicker than my normal talking speed. Thankfully, she didn't notice.

"If you wanted to get your saddlebags, then you could have just tossed a pebble or something to get my attention."

I stared at her for a second before processing that information. A pebble? Isn't what they do in romance movies when the guy sneaks to the girls house and throws a couple pebbles before throwing a brick? If so, then I would have to go looking for a brick. And if not, then my definition of a romance movie is pretty bad. I hadn't realized that I had materialized said object in front of me until I looked down. Twilight, who saw me look down, also followed my gaze and also saw the brick. She narrowed her eyes and gave me a look of suspicion.

"Were you going to throw that brick at the window!?" She asked, sounding annoyed.

"I couldn't find a small enough rock to throw." I said.

'Quick thinking' I thought to myself. Only to realize in horror what I had just said.

She looked completely flabbergasted to my remark.

"You're literately standing on a cobblestone pavement! It's made of rocks! Small ones too!" She practically yelled at me. Meanwhile, I had been slowly stuffing the brick into one of my sweater's pockets. She noticed this and groaned in annoyance.

"Just leave the brick alone! Why do you want it anyway?!" She asked, if not a little bit on the dangerous side. Danger being her coming down here to kick my ass.

"To throw at Nightmare Moon, of course." I said simply.

"You wouldn't dare." Said Nightmare Moon in my head. Instinctively, I pulled a power move.

'Watch me, pussy lips.'

Twilight let out a sigh of defeat. Then her horn lit up with her magic, and my saddlebags were lifted out and onto the ground.

"Here are your saddlebags. Now let me sleep!" She yelled, then walked back inside and shut the balcony door.

I stood there, staring at my bags for a second. Then a thought came to mind.

''Did she just kick me out?'.

I shrugged and deactivated the energy lock on the bags. It popped and a small circular disk came of the inside of the bag and attached itself to my energy shield, merging with it and becoming more compact. I wonder how much I weigh with all of this tech on me. Probably around 250 pounds in gear alone. More or less if I keep adding more abilities. Can I add abilities? I decided to just go back inside and avoid those mares. Or just converse with the few ponies that were outside. Strapping my saddlebags on my sides I walking back to the entrance I opened the door and saw Rarity. Her eyes widened a bit before she smiled.

"Franz, darling, I was looking for you." She said gracefully. Weird how she talks like a rich person. Wait, looking for me?

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, you are new in town. And It would be rude of me to not introduce myself properly." She said.

That made sense. At least to me.

"Okay. Is there a place to eat? I heard this place has some good places." I lied. I didn't need to buy anything. I could just create it. Though, I haven't tested the limits.

"There are, however, none are open at the moment because it's a holiday. That and it's fairly late."

Made me look a little dumb, but that was fine. I always look dumb.

"Ah, that does make more sense." I said. looking back at my saddlebags. My sweater was still there and was showing a very thin outline of my wings. It'll take some time getting used to saying that.

I heard a giggle from her and she stepped down from the small steps. I saw her eyeing my visor again. It was a subtle glance, but I noticed it. She began looking over me, as if to silently evaluate something. But I was pretty certain it was my sweater.

"Darling, why do you wear a sweater? It is the middle of summer. I didn't see you with it earlier." She said.

"That's because I get cold easily." I said. I was lying right now. My family is known for being warmer during the cold times. But lately, that's not right.

"Well, I think that sweater look quite good on you. Fitting even. You should come over to my boutique and let me, how do I say, redesign perhaps?" She said. Redesign?

"How am I going to pay for that? I don't really have any money on me." I said. What does their currency look like?

"Well, the first one's on the house, darling. Think of it as a "Welcome to Ponyville" gift." She offered, fluffing her mane a little. Why does she keep calling me "Darling"? It's kinda creeping me out.

"Uh, sure. I guess." I offered.

'Man, these ponies are really friendly.' I thought.

"So, what's the celebration about?" I asked her. It was probably a bad idea to ask, but I had to know what's coming.

She gave me a perplexed look. One that made me look a little more dumb.

"Why, its the Summer Sun Celebration. The signs were set up and everything to ponies who were visiting from other towns and cities. Didn't you see them when you arrived?" She asked.

Signs? I woke up in a woods with strange powers and is currently stuck in rainbow land! And on top of that, I can't remember what I was doing before I got here! How am I supposed to pay attention to something as insignificant to my survival as that?!

"Nope, I probably didn't see them. I did wake up in the woods though with little to no memory on how I got there in the first place." I said. Hey, gotta make it look believable.

"No recollection? What do you mean?" Rarity asked.

"Try thinking of the last place you were at. Usually, that helps with remembering." She offered.

I tried remembering where I was last when I was back on earth. The only thing that came up was me being in my room, watching the sun fall outside. I knew someone was with me, but it felt as though we were together. It hurt my head to try to think about it, and I also felt a numb pain in my chest the more I burrowed into my memories.

"I remember being in at my apartment, at least, I hope it was my apartment. And I think someone was there waiting for me too. I don't know. It hurts my head if I think about it too hard." I said. I didn't want to mention that my chest was aching.

"Hmm, we should see a doctor sometime. Although, you can enjoy yourself in the meantime. Besides, a little amnesia never lasts too long with modern medicinal magic. At least to my knowledge, so enjoy yourself. Come, I'll show you around town if you'd like to stay a while. I never was one for these loud parties in the first place." She said. Hmm. Maybe thats what I need. A walk.

"Alright. Maybe that's what I need. Y'know, to jog the memory a bit." I said with a smile.

She looked at me with a hopeful expression. Like a kid would get when you tell them their going to Disneyland. She then cleared her throat and began leading away.

"Do come darling, I'll show you the school first. It is the closest. Then Stirrup street, then the railroads, then onto the park and to my boutique, and we'll swing by Sugarcube corner and to the town hall. It should take a few hours, but we will be just on time for Celestia's arrival." She said. Wait, hours?

"Neat." I said immediately. I began following her, the darkness blinding me slightly before everything got very clear, thanks to the moonlight. I saw her a little in front of me, waiting expectantly.

"Follow me, once I've shown you around you should be able to have a basic layout of Ponyville." She said confidently.

"Cool." I offered simply. Boy, am I going to have a weird time here.

Me and my two other buds watched the new stallion walk off with Rarity. It was weird, first he came here with Derpy, then went up to the other new pony, and now he's leaving with Rarity.

"Hey, you don't think that he'll cause trouble, will ya?" I asked, looking at my friends.

Nether Flame, a maroon Pegasus stallion with a black mane and tail with a fiery cutie mark scoffed. He usually pretended not to care, but he was very analyzing and protective.

"If he does, then I can take him. Other than Rainbow Dash, I'm the best at the martial arts dojo."

"But he's a unicorn. And his horn was pretty sharp looking too." Said the other stallion. That was Silver Shot. He was a unicorn too, with a white coat, a silver mane and light yellow eyes. Even though he could nail a target over a hundred yards away with a bolt of magic, the guy was pretty shy and reserved. His cutie mark was a target with a silver blast hitting the center.

And me? I was a orange mare with a lighter shaded mane, with light blue eyes. And my cutie mark was a blossoming tree.

"Aw, don't worry Silver, if worst comes to worst, you can trail him with me while Nether follows from above. You know, to keep up with him."

"Who said I was following him? I made a oath that I wouldn't use my martial arts to harm unless provoked." Said Nether

"What if he put her under a mind control spell! If he did then we could become vigilantes! Think about it, Nether. A chance to show the world what you're made of!" I said, trying to convince him to give chase. Rarity and I weren't close friends, but we were friends nonetheless.

Nether didn't look convinced. At least, not entirely. Silver decided to voice his concern as well.

"Well, uh, his horn does look like it's taken care of well, so thats one sign that he could be a powerful magic caster." He said, voice getting more filled with concern as he talked.

Nether growled and finally agreed.

"Alright Blossom. But only if I see him actually force spells on her. For all I know, she could be showing him around."

"Great! Now come on! we're losing them." I said, trotting away after them.

Silver Shot had a nervous expression while Nether flared out his wings and took to the sky. Silver Shot, not wanting to be left behind, quickly chased after Blossom.

I watched the trio of ponies walk away as I finished throwing up all of the food I ate.

'Note to self, don't drink cider you forgot to store for a party. Especially if you bought them two years ago.' I thought.

I was in the bush because I needed a place to puke after I had told my "Friends" that the cider I had forgotten in my cupboard for two years was still good, and even demonstrated an example. Let me say, worst night ever!

"Ugh, I should tell Rainbow Dash that Nether might get into a fight." I said.

Suddenly, I shivered and threw up again, only more violently than last time.

"Oh! Why!" I yelled into the air, wiping off disgusting chunks.

Edit: Being a shorter chapter and all I managed to squeeze this one in before I went to bed. Some things changed, fixed, or tweaked to make sense, but it's going now. Really glad to be able to get changed for the better done.

Also, I will remember to make use of that brick if I haven't already.
