Issue arose as all but one pony all stuck up there hooves as they waiting to have there questions answered. I realized just how dumb I had been to just ask for a...... talky...... thingy...? Instead of doing so real planning. I wasn't that I didn't like it or anything but rather that organisation made things much easier in most cases.  

"Okay, lets fix things." I said with the required volume. "Everyone lower your hooves and could someone maybe fetch me a piece of paper and a pen? We're going to make a list to shorten things up." I continued. Once I finished my sentence I saw a purple flash in the crowd. A few moments later a second purple flash popped up right next to me. Do to lack of concern I just happened to be looking there as the flash occurred temporarily blinding me.

"Ow..." I said with a lack of emotion as the flash scorched my eyes. "I got you some paper but I don't know what a pen is so I just brought you a quill and ink." I very familiar voice said. "Why thank you, do you think you could return my eyesight as well? Oh, wait! Nevermind, its coming back on its own." I replied. First I saw a purple blob that slowly took the shape of a unicorn. "He-hey! I have a nickname for you!! Thus forth you shall be known as flash of never-ending Doom! Fend for short." I continued.

At this moment my mind was in all kinds of different places. My focus was reaching that of what I could only assume a squirrel has when forging for nuts after an early snowfall. This plus the fact half my memory felt rather blank meant that and amplitude of random was inbound.

Meanwhile Twilight was giving me one of the most confused yet happy look in her eyes. Kind of like a child when they hear that there going to get a present but then you tell them that they'll never guess whats it is. "I must say Fend, you look extremely cute right now." I said with a big smile. To Twilight's unluck the odd microphone thingy was on, or what ever you can consider a magical device when its active, allowing the entire pony crowd to hear what I said.

Through means of magical magic Twilight blushed deep red and seemed to shrink slightly. It was only now I realized that there is a thick level of fur between Twilight's face and the outside world making it rather impossible to see any form of blush. "This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder." I thought as I grabbed the ink, paper and quill, removing them from Twilight's magical grip and placing it all down on the stand.

"Okay, now what I'm going to do is classify each selection of question, so we can narrow out what is too be asked and what is to be answered." I said speaking directly into the microphone thingy. Maybe I should just call it a mircothingy. Whats the chance the I would need to call two things a mircothingy?

It seemed my words had fallen on deaf hears as the crowd gave me a glassy look. "Damn it Gunnar, why do you break minds so easily?!" I mumbled before turning to Twilight. "Say, can you translate for me...?" I asked. She broke from her shamed state and trotted up to the mircothingy. "He wants to sort out your questions." Twilight said bluntly.

I wonderful feeling came over me. "I thank the heavens and whatever gods there might be among them for the creation of this gifted, translator pony." I said happily before turning my attention to Twilight before she could get time to react. "Thank you fend. I feel that you shall become a great college and that one day we may take over the world with the clever use of flags." I said with a big old smile.

"Uum.... You're welcome?" Twilight said with the standard confused look. I moved Twilight out of the way of the mircothingy and picked it up. "Okay, I will try to ask the next set of questions as simply as I can but I can't promise anything to please listen with open ears." I said bringing all focus to me with great success.

"1. How many of you have questions about where I'm from?" Each and every pony stuck a hoof up in the air. I writ down the first category on the piece of paper.

"2. Any questions about who or what I am?" Once more a wave of hooves shot up into the air. Category two was in place.

"3. Any questions on what I plan to do hear in the wonderful land of Equestria?" A few ponies stuck up there hooves which included Lyra and Twilight. Unfortunately for them a large piece of that general question was not going to be answer due to the possible mass panic that might happen but I still had some idea for more 'casual' things I could to before and after the big dragon battle goes down though it was not completely clear how that was going to play out.

" Finally, 4. Is there and random questions that you might have had poking around you mind that I might be able to answer for you?" I asked. To my surprise some ponies actually stuck there hooves up.

"Wonderful. Okay, this is how things are gonna work: When you ask a question relative to the active category, I shall write it down so that we don't get the same question twice. Shouldn't be to hard." I said with the necessary slowness. I gave the pony crowd a moment to process the given information before beginning that real questioning.

"Now lets begin with the most general question, AKA where I'm from so listen closely." I said pulling in every ounce of focus back to me. "I come from the not so magical planet that is Earth. To be more specific, I'm from the Netherlands. To even more specific, I come from America but I moved to the NL due to reasons that you can hear about later."

"Okay that's that answered, now time to pick a question." I said hinting at the ponies to ask there questions. Some of them got the hint and raised there hooves. I picked a random pony. "Yes you, in the green."

"Where is 'Earth'?" The little green pony asked. "Ah yes, the placement of earth. That's a hard one... Personally, I have no idea where Earth is at this exact moment. I kinda just popped up here in Equestria and the possibility of being is a different dimension is extremely possible, so lets save that question until I have had more time to figure it out." One question out of the way on to next. "Next question!"

"Whats it like on Earth." A random pony casplerted. "Hmmmm, whats it like on earth you say...? Well, Its a lot like it is hear, though it does lack magic... or talking ponies... dragons might exist but I'm not completely sure on that one. Come to think of it, our worlds are very very different. The only things it has common with here is English, color, plant and animal life, and doors. The rest is too far apart to be considered equal."

"Speaking of which, why does our mythology add up to your native lifeforms so closely? Wait, what am I saying. Now my just making things up. Oh well, anything more specific in mind?" Somehow, I managed to keep my mind from going to far of course though the fact the ponies were mind broke once more didn't seem to help my track of concentration.

There was a brief pause as ponies either tried to reboot the brains or come up with a question. Lyra was the first to come up with a question. "This might sound weird but do you have magic on earth?" She asked with a quiet voice as if asking something along the lines of crazy. "I don't why that's a weird question and no, there is no such thing as magic on earth. At least nothing outside the lines of trickery or illusion. Though the idea of magic is quite widespread and there not a person on earth that doesn't have a word for it for it." I replied.

"A word for it....?  You mean you have more than one word for magic?" Lyra asked with growing interest. "Hell no. There are multitudes of ways to say magic in the English language alone, if you count the multiple forms of magic there are. And mind you English is not the only language us humans speak. There are thousands of different languages and then you have to keep different accents and slurs in mind as well." Once more my mouth was having a hard time not moving as I spoke a waterfall of words leaving Lyra with more questions than answers.

"Wait, when you say we you mean your kind right?" Twilight asked. "Yeeeessss." I replied. "So what you're telling is that you don't have magic and you all speak different languages? How in the world does you kind survive?" Twilight asked with the same mix of confusion and interest that Lyra had plunged into.

"Oh-hoho! Now we are right my alley. You want to hear how mankind has lasted and for the short fifty-thousand years we've  thrived? Do you want the long story or the short one?" I asked as a large urge to explain everything I new on the subject grew inside my mind like a parasite. A look of uncertainty for a moment when a sudden realization hit her. "Short fifty-thousand years?! Now I know you're lying!" Twilight yelled.

The parasite in my mind only grew larger, completely taking over my mind at the idea of explain the big bang theory as well. In case you didn't already know, I LOVE explaining things I know about or theorize a lot on to others like a drug and I love it even more when I get arguments against said subjects so the nerd in me was bouncing with joy at the chance to explain so much in one go.

"Fend, I believe you've just made my day, though you lack of understand meant disturbs me." I said with a rather disappointed look. I was hiding the fact I knew close to zero about the little universe I had popped up in but that doesn't stop me from acting like I know. "My lack of understand meant!? I'm pretty sure you're just insane!" Twilight yelled angrily

"Oh Fend, even though I'm not the smartest creature in existence, you out of all the things I have met should at least be skeptical about all this and not full out deny it. What kind of scientist would think in such a manner? Hell, only the simple minded think such thoughts and I doubt you're simple minded. Unless I misjudged you, which is possible." I continued.

It seemed I was pushing all the wrong buttons and Twilight looked like she was about to explode. "SIMPLE MINDED, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!? I'M PRINCESS CELESTIA'S PERSONAL STUDENT!!" Nevermind, she did explode. With fire and everything. It immediately reminded me of Rapidash from pokemon before a blast of heat smacked me in the face. "Hothot hothothothot!" I yelled as I threw my arms up to protect my eyes.

"Damn Fend, you crazy!" I said as the cursplosion of heat and anger ended. Twilight fell to the ground from what seemed like magical exhaustion, giving me the chance to turn my attention back to the crowd of ponies who looked with mixed emotions and the event. "Well, we will just ignore that and continued the questioning, unless you want to stop..." I said with a bit of sadness in my voice. Looks like my big lecture will have to wait.

The pony chatter amongst themselves for a moment before a tiny pony bounced up on to one of the male ponies head. "What are you?" She shouted over the chatter of the crowd. "Okay another question. Though I wonder if anyone else is still willing to listen." I said with growing irritation and sadness. "How about this, anyone who still has questions and is not busy talking, we can just find a nice tree to sit under and  we can finish up and I can start answering the random questions amongst what not." I said before picking up an exhausted Twilight and wander off the stage/stand/woodenplankythingy.

Luck may have it that only a few extra ponies caught word and followed. Aside from them our orginal group of ponies plus human had reformed including all but Fluttershy though I didn't question it. She had already gotten quite a few answers from me and I from her. Not only that but she also seemed like the ponyperson that didn't like to be around others and I was rather jealous of her situation. "The things I would do to live alone in, next to a beautiful forest and just enjoy life." I thought as we walked.

My though was later broken at the sound of Rainbow, who had been trying to get my attention for while from the looks of things. "Gunnar? Hellooooooo, anypony in there?" She rambled on. "Fate may have it that there is no pony taking refuge in my mind. However, I am very much here. Whatcha need?" I asked going out of my way to cause some confusion as revenge for the breaking of my though process.

I seemed I had failed this time as Rainbow had only focused on the last part of my sentence. "What happened to your arm?" She asked pointing as the burn mark located on my forearm. "Oh, I had a run in with a rather hotheaded zombie warrior thing during my recent adventure." I answered. Rainbow gave me a look of disbelief but ignored the impossibility that my mouth uttered with a follow up question. "Do these kind of things always happen to you?"

"Nope, I swear my life has went from simple and the same to chaotic and ever-changing it what could quite possibly be a flash and I have enjoyed every ever so painful moment of it." I replied. Rainbow laughed a little by this comment. "You're weird, what was your life like before coming here?" Rainbow asked. "And how did you even get here?!" Lyra yelled as she joined the conversation.  

"Well, my life was simple and stressful. Not that that has completely changed but it was enjoyable nun the less. School was building up stress on me and I was really starting to doubt whether or not I'm going to have any success in life but now it seems I get a new chance with a completely new set of rules. Its hard to explain and truthfully, I don't know what I like more, being here or my life in the NL. As for how I got here, well... I have no idea. I just kinda woke up and poof, here I was. Sorry that my answers are lacking depth or no answer what so ever but I have a lot to think about..." I said.

The more I thought about earth and my old home, the more I realized how much I missed some of it. Here was fun and I had accepted most of it without to much concern but it didn't mean I really liked it. There was a lot of things on earth that you just didn't find here. People being one of the main things that I missed and zombies don't count no matter how much 'human' is still left in them. All the ponies felt rather static and too accepting so I guess I was happy to see the outburst from Twilight.

All in all, if I were to choose between staying here and doing battle with the many creatures or spend my time explaining the world rather than live on earth and play one of my many video-games and have to deal with the many people who assumed me dumb or crazy, I'd probably end up choosing earth. This place may be like heaven in some ways but it just wasn't my kind of heaven.

"You know what, its time to let go." I said to myself. "To let go of earth and my place in it. My place is here now and I shouldn't let these petty sorrows get in my way. Feeling sorry for myself won't get my jack shit and its about time I realized that." I continued. Confidence and a hint of arrogance replaced my early sadness as I stomped on my cares. "Now lets go to the norm and blindly run into the next set of events with an open mind and the necessary ignorance that I have come to love so much!!" I shouted proudly. Wasn't exactly the best thing to be proud of but things seemed to always work out for me when I acted like this just for the plain reason that I didn't care when everything went wrong.

"The was the weirdest speech I have ever heard." Lyra commented. I had completely forgotten that there was a group of ponies following me to our undecided destination. "Why does that sound like a challenge to me?" I asked. It seemed my mood had bounced once more. Sometimes I wonder if my body is producing some chemical in my body that passively forces mood swaps on me. Either that or I really am crazy....

"I have no idea." Lyra replied.

"Well then you better start thinking because you're running out of time." I said with a smile. I had no idea where this was going and I was just going on random impulses. Put simply, I wasn't thinking before I spoke.

"Time for what?" Lyra asked.

"Time until me and a rather pink pony make first contact with each other. For then and only then shall the true mind breaking begin." I replied. I had completely forgotten that a certain somepony owed me and the influence that had taken hold of me ever so long ago would not let this stand for much longer, even if it was an imaginary drink. Wait can I even use the word 'Somepony'? Is that correct? This must be investigated!!

"Hey Lyra, can I use the word 'somepony'?" I asked in the most etiquette of ways, by blurting it out in the middle of Lyra train o' thought. Lyra gave me a look like I had just asked something so dumb the a lesser mind would be fundamentally destroyed. Point in case, Rainbow decide now would be the perfect time to turn this conversation into a group talk.

"What kind of question is that?! You really need to go to school or something." Rainbow yelled out. I did what was necessary and set Twilight down. "Here let me help you exert your stupidity." I said before yanking her out of the sky, grabbing her hoof and gently smashing it against her face. "That one's on the house." I said happily. "So, can I use the word somepony or am I making a mistake." I asked returning my attention to Lyra.

She was giving me a memorable look of disbelief on her face. "I'm gonna take that as a undefined yes." I answered. "Wow I feel a lot better right now. Who woulda guessed that a random speech and a forced facepalm could make yah feel so good."

Though I didn't think that was the reason I was far happier it didn't matter, a happy time is a good time. Speaking of good times a certain blue-rainbow pony was charging at me. "What did you do that for?!" Rainbow yelled as she closed the distance between me and her. Instead of avoiding her or even try to protect myself I broke into thought. Something about the distance she was and the speed she had made confused me.

Rainbow hit me like a battering ram knocking us both quite a few meters away from the group. Luck may have that my head was left untouched during the events that followed impact (Man I should start writing narration scripts for someone.) leaving me with nothing but a few scratches lining my arms. A large dust bloom surrounded us giving me a chance to just lay there.

"Well that was quite a crash. Do you try to ram everything that annoys you or am I the exception?" I said whilst laying on my now very dirty back. I looked around to notice no rainbowfied pony in sight. "You okay?" Lyra asked bouncing through the dust cloud. "I believe I am but then again, I've been talking to pastel ponies for quite awhile now, so I might as well be insane... And I don't know what pastel means!" I replied whilst getting up.

"You don't have ponies where you come from?" Lyra asked with the oddest shine. "Well we do have ponies buuuuut they don't talk or look so colorful... or have those giant eyes... or have such weird snouts... You know what, either you or they are not really ponies. I don't know what happened or why we call them ponies and you call yourselves ponies but there is definitely and huge difference between the two." I said with my own sense of distaste. I couldn't believe I hadn't realized this before but someone defiantly gave them both the same name.

"Some interdimensional traveler has been trolling me this entire time! Damn you banana king and your ability to confuse me where ever I go!!" I shouted at the nothingness. Nonsense was filling my little mind once more. "Who are you talking to?" Lyra asked in a moment of confusion. "The voices inside my head." I replied with all seriousness. Though I was straight out lying, it didn't stop me from feeling like someone was actually listening in on my little adventure but thats probably just the paranoia kicking in.

"I think you need to go see a doctor." Lyra replied. "DENIED!! And anyways, I doubt there's a doctor in the world that can help me break from the instanity that has been cast upon my mind. Don't worry though, I'm just in a good mood and there no better way to enjoy yourself than to cast aside what is socially acceptable and be yourself for a change.... Damn I talk a lot Maybe I should shut up now." I replied before taking a few deep breaths to calm down.

"No no, Its actually kind funny." Lyra responded with a smile. This stuck me as completely outrageous. Never before had I been complimented for my insanity aside from one time one I had been sick and apparently school had been more dull and boring without me around or so some say.

"That's one of the best compliments that I've ever gotten, if it is a compliment." I said whilst getting up. "Wow, I need to take a shower or bath depending." I said whilst patting of some of the dusty dirty sandy stuff off my shirt and pants. "Depending on what?" Lyra asked. The lols were induced when the ground under Lyra began to shake follow by her falling face first into the ground and what used to be a rainbow pony bursting out of a dust pile. "Why were to standing on me?!" Rainbow shouted after the required amount of heavy in and exhaling.

"Holy mother of expired milk! Rainbow, you never told me you're a ninja!" I shouted to add more lols, for me at least. "You seem like the kind of pony that could steal books from right under a cancer patients bed. Wait.... what?" I had even confused myself with this statement. "Please ignore everything I just said or less fear the tempt of possible mind break." I said trying to make the others forget what I just said. Not a hard feat considering Lyra was still faceplanted in the ground and Rainbow was continuing her ranty rage thing.

After rainbow was done yelling whatever, me lacking the knowledge of what that was as the dustiness of this dust was very distracting I decided to look at how the other ponies felt about it. Twilight was still laying on the ground, some ponies had left in fear of getting dusty dust on them and others seemed to be having mixed reactions towards the whole event though only one of a white unicorn with styled purple hair seemed to disagree.

"You there, in the white and purple. Why do you look at me with such distasteful eyes?!" I shouted whilst pointing at the pony. "Who, me?" The white unicorn asked trying not to sound confused in the awkward moment I was creating. "Yes you! Why do your eyes show judgement instead of joy or confusion?" I asked. "Well... I just hate seeing you ruin such.... fine clothing." She Unicorn said in a stuttery voice as if trying to come up with a well design comeback. Though I didn't believe her one bit, I decided not to pressure the fancy pony and replied with your average "D'okay."

"I must ask, who made your clothing?" She asked after a brief pause. "I don't know, just some company. I never really pay attention to what I buy, if it looks nice and its cheap then I will probably get it." I replied. "Well whoever made it did a fine job, Its so simple yet the symmetry seems so perfect. How could some pony make this without magic?" Miss unicorn asked with the same shine that I had seen so many times today.

"Jeans and a T-shirt being a masterpiece, who woulda guessed? These are made with the not so magic of machinery. Where man lacks magic we make up for with brain power. I amazed how far we've come and such progress is a common thing." I said proudly. That's when it hit me, a massive realization that I could consider a eureka moment. "Music!! How could I not have thought of this before. Nevermind about humans not having magic and all, I'm pretty sure we have something very close to it ourselves."

"What?" The white unicorn asked with sudden confusion. "Well look at like this, music has got to be one of the most things we have when it comes to an emotional tug. It can and does set the mood for so many different things we do for no explainable reason. Ha ha! This is one of the greatest discoveries I have ever made! Thank you sooo much!" I said with a massive smile. Now to most would assume this to be... whats the word? Trivial, I think that's the word. Anyways, the idea that music could have a 'magical' propriety to it just blew my mind.

"The pleasures mine." The white unicorn replied. "My name's Gunnar if that means anything to you." I said after I had finished my outburst. "Rarity, charmed." Miss Rarity said in an even fancier voice. "Well then, I think we have found a nice place to talk. Wait, whats that...?" I asked pointing at something big moving in the distance. "Wait is that a horgr..? Oh shit, it is. Well then it looks like talk time might just be over and news will hopefully be given." I said before starting a good old run to the incoming Horgr, leaving a group of confused and now frightened ponies behind.

[As you can read, I had a hard time ending this chapter but the good news is things are gonna start to get REAL!! oh well, I'm tired, cya next chapter. Oh wait, I might be getting to lend my friends half broken laptop which I can use to pump out so more quality chapters instead of whatever crap this is.

G-night mister and misses ponies.]
