Andrew woke up the next morning, feeling much better that he now has his locket back in his possession. He quickly showered and got dressed, he was assigned to a morning patrol today, as well as one during the evening. So, that gave him most of the afternoon off. He walked into town without a care in the world, taking in the country like atmosphere. He patrolled the streets for any signs of danger, or pony in trouble.

"Well good morning officer!" Andrew heard a voice say behind him. He whipped around to see a fairly new face, a mint green Unicorn.

"Hello, uh... can I help you?" Andrew asked politely. She nodded her head, Andrew shrugged as he followed her.

"What's your name young mare?" He asked.

"Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings." She replied.

"What is it that you need?"

"I just want to ask a few questions." She had a sinister laugh, but Andrew caught none of it and kept following Lyra.

As they continued into the park, she sat down on a bench and took out a note pad and pen. She gestured for Andrew to sit down next to her, and he did so accordingly.

"You see, I study Anthropology at Canterlot University. So, I wanted to ask an actual Homosapien things I need to know to further progress my studies." She smiled, Andrew nodded silently as he got relaxed.

"You might want to get comfortable, we might be here for a while. So, for starters, what is the human race like? Any magic? Technological advances? Recent wars or rebellions?" Andrew sighed.

'What have I gotten myself into?' He wondered to himself.

"To answer your questions in order, humans are a very confusing species to understand, we don't have any magic, we have had many technological advances, and we- Earth is at war right as we speak." Lyra wrote down what he said, word for word.

"Thank you, and there's one more thing I need to know. What are hands like? I mean what's it like having them?" She beamed. Andrew's eyes shifted left to right again, and looked down at his own hands.

"I guess, hands are... hands. There's nothing really special about them, the only importance is that we use them everyday for normal human things. Picking things up, holding, or in my case, shooting." He explained, Lyra smiled as she thanked Andrew for his time.

He got up and brushed himself off, and Lyra was gone. As in she was no longer there, gone without a trace. Andrew scratched his head as he went back to town, only to get hit from behind.

"Hi Drew! I wanted to show you somepony special! Come with me!" Andrew spat out the dirt that went into his mouth when he made contact with the ground. Then, he was dragged by his leg to a Post Office, where the title read, "United Equestrian Postal Service."

"Hello! Welcome to the Ponyville Branch of the Equestrian Postal Service! I'm Ditzy Doo, but everyone calls me Derpy. May I help you?" Andrew tilted his head as he gazed at her, noticing the eyes.

"Hey Derpy, I'm expecting a package earlier from today from Canterlot! I think Drew here has one too!" Pinkie said with her usual excited tone. She smiled as she went into the back, getting two packages, one large one, a small one, and a letter. Pinkie grabbed the two boxes and gave Andrew the letter, he opened it and saw that it was from Princess Celestia. What he wanted to know is why she would use the post office when she had Spike, but he didn't question it any longer.

Dear Andrew,

Honestly, I may have a theory that may prove why you turned back from stone without the use of the Elements. I would like for you to ask Twilight to use the ponification spell on you and your human friends. I wish to get a reply as soon as possible once performed. This is strictly a theory, out of pure curiosity, so don't dawdle on the subject for too long.

Princess Celestia

Andrew scratched his head as he read over it another time, making sure he wasn't reading it wrong. He put a hand on his chin as he looked suspiciously at the parchment.

"I guess I'm going to Twilight's House later." He mumbled to himself, Derpy then tapped his shoulder, getting his attention.

"Uhm, Andrew? Can you do me a favor?" She asked, Andrew nodded slowly.

"Awesome! Can you go to Sugarcube Corner and get my parcel? I've been so busy I forgot to pick it up." Andrew nodded and smiled as he walked out the door.

He took out one of these so called, "Bits," and flipped it in his hand. To him all bits were is just some gold coin, and there were many variations, there being Copper ones, Silver ones, and even a Titanium one. Something about gold coins just made him fascinated, not in a greedy way, just the actual element itself. as he went inside of the place Derpy instructed him to, he almost wanted to gag. Just then Pinkie showed up from behind the counter, eating a whole chocolate cake on display.

"Oh hey Drew! *SLURP* Do you need something?" She said.

"I'm here to pickup Derpy's... parcel?" She then gasped and went into the back kitchen, she just as quickly came back and put it on the counter.

"That'll be 10 Bits please!" Andrew had no knowledge of the currency, so he laid down two gold Bits.

"I don't know how to use Bits, do you mind teaching me?" He gave an awkward smile, Pinkie violently nodded her head as she put on a top hat, monocle, and a bicycle mustache.

"Why good sir, a Copper Bit is worth 1, a Silver Bit is worth 10, a Gold one is worth 50, and the Super Shiny Silver is worth 100. She used a chalk board and pointer to emphasize the importance of it.

"Then here you are sir/madam, 10 Bits." Andrew gave a gentlemen like bow as he grabbed the box and headed out.

"Thank you come again!" She waved.

Andrew headed back to the post office, where Derpy had a huge line of ponies waiting to pick up their packages. Andrew snuck around the line to give Derpy her food, in which she could smell it from where he was standing. Andrew happily gave her the box, and she opened it up, revealing a box of a dozen Blueberry Muffins.

"Thanks! I'll see you later Officer Andrew! Mmm, muffins." Andrew heard her say as he headed out the door.

Andrew looked on his wrist computer, and saw that his shift was over. His stomach growled as he made his way back into town, getting strange looks from ponies within hearing range. He then seated himself at the cafe, at a table meant for two. Now that he got the currency down it was much more understandable than just throwing gold coins at everything you see.

"What would you like to eat sir?" The waiter asked, which broke Andrew's train of thought.

"I'll take the fruit platter. By any chance can you get me some ice and some tea?" He responded, the waiter nodded as he headed back into the building. Andrew laid back in his chair, putting his arms behind his head, occasionally looking at his wrist computer to see how much time he has until he needed to visit Twilight.

"Hey Drew! What's up?" His train of thought was broken once again, but this time by Rainbow. He shook his head to focus in, and looked up.

"Nothing really, just taking a lunch break. What about you?" Rainbow grabbed a seat and laid back in it, copying Andrew.

"Just finished clearing the skies today. I saw you down here and thought I might join you. Besides, I got nothing else to do today anyways." She replied back. The waiter came back with the food, and Andrew's mouth started to water. He was about to eat a slice of mango until Rainbow's stomach growled, she had a sheepish smile on her face.

"Do you mind paying lunch for me? I forgot my money at home." She said sheepishly, Andrew rolled his eyes as he gave her his fruit platter. He also gave her a gold bit to pay for it all, and he took out a yellow box.

"What's that?" Rainbow pointed at Andrew's yellow box, and he chuckled.

"This is what we call on Earth a Calorie Mate. These things can last years in the field, and I like them especially compared to M.R.E.'s they give us today. This specific one is cheese flavored, but it tastes like a plain cracker, with like cheese dust or something." He said, biting off a part of the Calorie Mate block. Rainbow shrugged as she continued eating the food supplied by Andrew, and it was just about time to go to Twilight's House for him.

"Well, I gotta hit the road. Princess Celestia wants me to go ask Twilight to do something for her." He said his farewells to Rainbow and left in the direction towards Twilight's house.

'I wonder why the Princess wants me turned into a pony? Who cares? I always wanted to try it out!' He thought to himself, now speeding up his pace towards the Golden Oaks Library.
