(Switch from the journal-style to regular first-person pony.)

My wings twitched nervously as I walked into the room some mare had told me to enter. The room was warm, and the walls were lined with tons of different bookcases. I'm... pretty sure Twi would have a heartattack if she'd come here.

Anyway, in the corner of the room I saw a brown stallion with a messy, but somehow still slicked-back lighter brown mane tinkering with what looked like some kind of hour-glass. He was wearing a simple green tie around his neck. He turned around to me with a gentle smile. If anything, it actually calmed my nerves a bit...

”You must be Rainbow Dash!” He said in a happy trottingham accent. ”I've heard a lot of you from my daughters, one of those things is that you are an aspiring Wonderbolt, yes?” I nodded. I couldn't stop myself from puffing out my chest in pride. ”Now now, let us not get ahead of ourselves, hm? From what I know, you say you have been having nightmares about our recent addition to our quiant little town, am I correct?”

”Yeah... But not just nightmares...” I said. He pointed me over to some weird couch. I laid down on it and sighed. ”I get scared around him... I don't know why, but I feel... I dunno, I guess I feel helpless around him. I mean, he's pretty tall and all!”

”Aha, so, do you fear other species as well? Like diamond dogs, griffins or dragons?” He wrote in a small notepad. ”Is there a trigger for your fears or nightmares? Any childhood traumas or such?”

”No, I'm not scared of other species. One of my best friends back in flight camp was a griffon, and one of my friends is a dragon...” I rubbed the my neck with my right foreleg.

”I presume that you haven't made any direct attempts to confront him yet?” I shook my head wordlessly. He nodded, and scribbled some notes. ”I believe that you might have fears for what you do not know how to respond to. Other species are natural to our world, when he is probably the only human to exist in Equestria. It doesn't help that he's quite secretive and a troublemaker, though...” He muttered.

”Troublemaker?”

”Oh yes, he and Spike have caused quite a few situations these last weeks. Last I heard was that they were arrested by the Royal Guard for disturbing the peace!” He chuckled ”He's a bit of a bad influence on the little dragon, though...”

”Listen, to change the subject, Twilight Sparkle told me to write a journal on my own 'personal experiences' about this...” I spread my left wing, dropping the journal on the couch next to me. ”She said that I should bring it with me to you...”

”That was a brilliant idea!” He beamed. ”I'll read through it when I have some time off so I can see some more of your personal thoughts on the matter at hoof.” He stood up and grabbed the journal with a free hoof and laid it on his desk. ”I should have prepared a basic analysis for our next meeting. So, what do you say about cutting this meeting short and ending it now? We have a point from where we can begin, anyway.”

”Yeah, sure... Thanks uh..?”

”You can call me Time Turner, or just doc.” He nodded with a small smile. ”Now, how about we have our next meeting this Friday, same time?”

”Sure doc.” I stood up and stretched my wings. ”Thanks for having me.” He gave me another gentle smile and a nod in acknowledgment. I walked out of his office, then out of the building. It was the normal afternoon calm in the town which couldn't actually be found somewhere else. I spread my wings and shot up into the air. It didn't take long for me to find a perfect cloud to relax on.

I yawned and laid down on my stomach, lazily looking down over the edge of the cloud down at the village below. I saw Pinkie bounce around the Sugarcube Corner and as if she had eyes on top of her head, she looked up at me and waved. I rolled my eyes and waved back to her and eventually, she hopped away to complete whatever it is she was doing...

”SHIIIIIII-”

I jumped as I heard a scream. I hovered away from the cloud to see the human, with Spike clinging onto his neck for his dear life being chased by a raging Twilight Sparkle. He was holding a parchment of some sort, and Twilight's horn started glowing. The human was lifted up in the air by her magic, but he was still running. He tried to run even faster as he was levitated into the library and Twilight slammed the door shut behind them.

”Well... How about that...”

I shrugged, then flew back to the cloud I was occupying and laid down to take a quick nap. I could focus on that later, as I was really sleepy right now. But before I fell asleep, I heard a girly shriek coming from what I assumed to be the library. I chuckled sadistically, then closed my eyes to rest.

Author's Notes:

AAAAAAAH I AM SO LATE I AM SO LATE I AM SO LATE SORRY SORRY

Uh... I have been debating with myself about which direction I should take this, and I didn't get the idea through my thick head until now... Anyway, I have started writing the human PoV story, which will be titled 'Bad Company'. It will be almost like an indirect sequel to a one-shot I wrote a few weeks back, this one to be exact.

Now, I'll be off to dodge flying bricks and rotten fruits for making you wait so long for it.

Also, short chapter is short...
