I woke up with a big headache. During my time sleeping I had rolled onto my back and now the sun was beating down on my face. For what ever reason this always gave me a massive headache and I tried to roll back over only to feel a heavy weight on my arm. There lay Fluttershy, she was laying right on top of my arm and the only way I could move it if I basically pick her up.

As I slowly tried to remove my arm for the laying grip of infinite arm resting and was finally able to get it out and sat up. My arm was soaked in sweat and I noticed I really needed a shower or something a long those lines. The blood in my head slowly started flowing out and I got a feeling as if I could shoot lasers out of my forehead from the headache.  

Giving it a moments thought, I realized just how awkward I felt waking up next to a talking pony. The idea just didn't seem to work in my head. I looked around and noticed that nothing had changed. "At least the room isn't frozen this time." I thought to myself. I yawned and stretched letting out a deep growling sound. It was yet another odd thing that I did and have never really been able to help it.

My stretching seemed to have been louder than predicted as I heard a quiet groan coming from next to me. Fluttershy stretched and opened up her eyes. She fluttered them a bit, trying to get used to the light and then looked at me. "Oh, good morning." Fluttershy said warmly. This was now the first cutest thing I had ever seen or heard in my life.

I smiled at Fluttershy and got out of bed. I stretched again and felt almost ever bone in my body snap. Suddenly I felt as if something was very wrong. I felt in pockets and looked around but saw nothing important had changed. I looked at the book Fluttershy was reading. It was the same book I had picked up during my first night here. I looked through it and noticed some chapters on ancient necklaces that had been found. That's when it hit me. I felt my chest and around my neck. "My necklace is missing!" I yelled in my head.

I looked all around for it. It was not a super special necklace or anything like that but I had gotten it as a present from my mom after she came back to one of her work trips and I only took it of when I needed to take a shower or if I went swimming. The necklace became apart of me in a sense and I also felt empty and worried without it.

Fluttershy noticed I was looking for something and pointed at the windowsill. There lay my necklace, It was a simple little necklace with a leather string connected to a little wooden block. Burned into the wood was the Norse rune "Dagaz" which meant sun. It had a ton of different names but I like that one the most.

I didn't know the full meaning of the rune and different sources from the internet said different things and gave it different names. The one thing all the descriptions all had in common was that it was the symbol of cycles. Leaving the darkness behind you, as a new day began and the light of a new dawn came. It brings a positive and carefree out look on life, even when things were looking down because even when the sun sets at night, it will always rise again the next day.

It was also a good luck charm, bringing success to its barer. The cool thing is that it described me very well. I had the tendency to look at most all situations with a positive outlook. My only issue was that I'm also a too truthful realist, meaning that when I situation is going bad, I have no issue telling someone what I think is good and bad about it. I've gotten yelled at many times for this when being positive or negative about a situation. I don't know if it was because I was right or if I just kept choosing the wrong times to share my judgement of the situation but I always ended up causing problems for myself. Of course when things did start going really bad I did start to worry but the worry never lasted long.

I quickly grabbed my necklace and put it back around my neck. I felt relieved after doing this and sat back down in the bed. Fluttershy gave me a curious look and hopped out of the bed and left the room. I followed being that I had nothing else to do. We walked down stairs and noticed the mess of books had returned. In between them I could make out a sleeping purple unicorn. For whatever reason it was still hard for me to remember her name.

"Twilight, are ok?" Fluttershy asked softly whilst gently shaking Twilight awake. Twilight groaned and opened her eyes. "What is it?" She slowly asked with a hint of irritation in her voice.

"I'm going to be going out this the human again." Fluttershy said.

"Uuuugg, Okay but try to get back earlier this time. Lyra and I would like to try to have some form of communication with the human." Twilight said. I gave a happy facepalm. It was nice to know they still didn't know I could read and speak English but it was stupid of them not to realize I had been reading there books. I didn't even try to secretly read the books or anything like that either, I couldn't make it any clearer unless I just spoke English.

Fluttershy grabbed a bag that had been lying around and put two books in it. Probably to read whilst I did what I did, though I didn't know what I was going to do considering this time Fluttershy intended to lead me around. She walked out the door and I followed. It seemed that the ponies living in the town had gotten rather used to me, no longer giving me any strange looks. I saw something flying around the sky. It was going from cloud to cloud, popping them like bubbles. It flew over head and I got a better look at it. It was a cyan pony with a rainbow mane and tail.

It flew above us to pop one of the clouds and looked down. The pony looked at me as if I was some kind of monster. It then proceeded to swoop down at me with great speed, with anger and confidence in its eyes. It leveled itself with the ground and continued its ill thought charge. I sighed and prepared myself for impact. This was something me and friends used to do when our gym lesson had started and everyone was still getting dressed into there gym cloths, the only difference was we didn't go out of our way to hurt each other.    

Right before impact my instincts got the better of me. Though instead of running, I struck out at the charging pony swinging down and scoring a direct hit on its head, making is crash into the ground and slide a few meters away. Fluttershy jumped at the sound and ran behind a bush. A few moments later she looked up from the bush and gasped in surprise. "Rainbow, what are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked.

The cyan pony who's name was apparently Rainbow, stood up and shook her head getting the dirt off it before stumbling around for a moment. "I came to protect you from what ever that is!" Rainbow said pointing at me. She charged at me again with the same results. I didn't know why my reflexes were working so well but I didn't question it. It was pretty cool to counter attacks like that.

"Wait rainbow!" Fluttershy said trying to yell. It appeared that Rainbow did not hear her and rushed me again. It was starting to get annoyed. This time when I struck down, I made sure to grab Rainbow when she hit the ground. I set my knees on her as she tried to escape, not so much as to hurt her but just keep her from charging me again so that Fluttershy could get her message through.

"Rainbow, its okay, he won't hurt anypony." Fluttershy said trying to calm Rainbow down. What Fluttershy said was kind of funny considering what I was doing to Rainbow. I let her go and she jumped up. "I don't care what you say, I don't trust it." Rainbow said aggressively. Now I was really starting to get annoyed. "What a worthless friend." I thought to myself. I may have been ill placed considering I didn't really know much about the pony but her first impression didn't really give me a good feeling about her.

I started to see my breath for some odd reason and took a couple deep breaths to calm down. My breath quickly disappeared again. This interested me quite a bit. It seemed my emotions had a large effect on whatever was going on with me. I no longer wanted to call it a special power or anything like that just because I didn't know whether or not it was even controllable. "Something that only happens by a triggered event can't really be all that useful." I thought to myself.

"Um, Rainbow. You haven't cleared out all the clouds yet." Fluttershy said. I could easily tell she was just using it as an excuse to get Rainbow to leave and to my surprise, it worked. "Oh yah!" Rainbow yelled and bolt back up into the sky. We quickly continued walking again. I started to remember the path we were on. It was heading back to the to her cottage. We walked for about 10 minutes before we got to the cottage.

There were still tons of animals there and I watch a small white rabbit come out of the cottages door with a bag of what looked like different kinds of food. It started give each some food. "You wait right here." Fluttershy said as we reached the door of the cottage. She walked inside and I just looked for a spot to sit down. She came out a couple minutes later with a quill some paper and a wooden board. She quickly set them down infront of me and went back inside, probably to get some more things. She came back with an ink pot and a big bowl full of different kinds of fruit and plants. Don't ask me how she was able to hold it all at once, cause I have no idea.

She grabbed a piece of paper and set it on the board. She proceeded to pick up the quill with her mouth and wrote something on the piece of paper. I was surprised that she could even write but was even more surprised  when I read what she wrote down. I know you can understand me.

I looked back at her and frowned a little. "Looks like I have been found out...." I said. Fluttershy looked at me with a moment of surprise. "I didn't know you could speak Equestrian." She said. I looked at her with a confused face but it quickly disappeared. "Must be how they say English." I thought to myself.

"So how'd ya find out I could understand you?" I asked with some interest.

"I saw you reading some of the books in Twilight's library and when kept making confused faces every time somepony said something strange." She replied.

"Say, would you be oh so kind as in to not tell anyone that I can understand you and speak English....... I mean Equestrian." I asked.

"Why would you need to hide it? Fluttershy asked slightly confused.

"Well, for the past couple of days I have been able to learn about this pony culture without being questioned and I have been able to hear and understand what might happen to me if I prove important. If I keep the fact I am intelligent and can understand the ponies around me, I can slowly learn of my fate." I explained trying to keep out the fact that I mostly just did it because I didn't trust anyone that I didn't know. Even before getting magically teleported here, I would always try to avoid contact with people I deemed not trustworthy, which ended up being almost anyone I didn't know.

"Okay, I will keep your secret, but you have to do something in return."Fluttershy said. The last half of her sentence was almost silent.

"Fine by me. What is it I have to do?" I asked. Personally, I had to urge to talk and move around. Simply put I was getting hyper.

"I want you to tell me everything about yourself." Fluttershy said more confidently. I was happy about this, If there was one thing I could talk about, It would be me. "Well for one, my name is Gunnar A. Berge, I'm 16 and I lived in the Netherlands before I some how ended up here." I started telling her just about everything I knew about myself, never really sticking on one topic for long. I started talking about what I like to eat, my old hobbies and what my life was like before I popped up in the land of ponies. Fluttershy listened carefully taking notes here and there.

Slowly the one sided conversation turned into an information trade between me and Fluttershy. She talked about her own life and how she ended up loving animals so much. I asked why a pony was clearing the skies and she started to explain the nature of how this world worked. I started having a really hard time believing her once she started talking about how her princesses raised the sun and moon. The only thing making me believe her was that I was still didn't know near enough about Equestria to argue.

In return, I told her how it worked on earth and got the same reaction in return. It was a nice chat that lasted for hours. It ended in me having to write down my name on a piece of paper. I was pretty sure that I had talked about any and everything about me and earth. Fortunately I was wrong. I grabbed my Ipod and was just about too turn on a song when Fluttershy asked. "Whats that?"

"Oh this, its my Ipod, I use it to listen to some music." I replied "What to listen with me?

Fluttershy nodded and I gave her an ear bud. She gave it a confused look and watch my put mine in my ear. She tried to do the same and after a few tries managed to keep it in her ear. I flipped through my music to try and find a more happy song that what I normally listened too. I ended up choosing Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. Even though the text was not exactly happy it was definitively a song that made me glad I listen to rock. As we listened I tapped a long to the beat.

I looked at her face during the entire song. I was paying attention to her expressions as we listen to the music to see if she liked it. I did this with just about everyone when I let them listen to the music I listen to regularly. As the song ended Fluttershy turned to me. "I have never heard music like this before. I like it." She said. My reaction was mixed. I was happy that she liked the music but the idea of a place with no rock hurt my heart. I guess that means they didn't have jazz or hip hop then. Considering all there origins came from slavery in the US which in a sense could be considered a good thing but it didn't keep me from feeling bad.

"I'm glad you like it, I never really had a lot of friends that like rock." I sad with a sad smile.

"Rock....?" Fluttershy said with a confused look. "That's what music genre is called. There are so many different kinds of rock so I just simple call it rock." I said as a question sparked in my head. "What kind of music do you listen too or rather what kind of music is there here?" I asked.

"I don't really know, the only way to hear it is to go to a party." Fluttershy said. I got a little disappointed but didn't care for to long. As long as I could listen to my own music I would be happy. We sat there and listen to some more music. Fluttershy seem to like the music more and more after each song. I turned the music off after a little while, I needed the battery life to last even though I had no idea when it would be empty. Fluttershy got a little disappointed when I turned it off but the disappointment quickly disappeared as a knew conversation grew.

"How have you like it here in Equestria so far?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well aside from the culture change, Its been nice. At least its been nicer than going to school." I said laughing a little. Fluttershy smiled. I think I even heard her giggle a little but it was too quiet to make out what it really was.

"What have you liked the most about it?" Fluttershy asked. This question caught me off guard.

"Well to be truthful, talking with you has been the best so far." I answered. I hadn't really done any talking since I had gotten to Equestria, so the time that I got to just ramble away was nice. Once again Fluttershy just smiled warmly.

"I don't know if this is something I should be asking this, but is there anything you miss about where you came from?" Fluttershy asked softly.

"Yes, there are many things I miss. My friends, My mom and my brother are people I will miss above all else but I've already had time to get over the fact I probably won't see them again." I may seem that I had gotten over it extremely fast but that's just how I've always been. After my dad had gone crazy and took his own life, I learn to accept the fact that no one lasts forever. People come and go, just as problems pop up and go away. Though I hated him for what he had done and watched as mom my and little brother handled it in there own ways, I secretly thanked him. Its because of his death that I am able to handle problems and large issues with little concern or negative feelings. I try to keep a good outlook on life for me and the people around me even when it seems unfit.

I sat there and thought for a moment. Fluttershy gave me the silence I needed to think and remember some events from my past.

"Lets not dwell on that any longer."I said with a small smile. "There is one hobby I'm going to miss a lot and have no problem talking about."

"What would that be?" Fluttershy asked.

"Gaming... Man I love to play video games and used to do it all the time." I continued. As a little bit of revenge I started to talk about the video games that involved killing you opponent. "Basically A video game is a games played on a computer or tv. You do have computers or tv's right?"

"I've heard the have tv's in manehatton but there are none here." Fluttershy responded. I had a momentary *WTF moment* but quickly continued my story,

"Anyways, the idea normal is you defeat the enemy. There are tons of different kinds of games but the ones I normally play are oriented around team deathmatch. I played a lot of Halo and Crysis so it was easy to explain how they worked. It was either that or her about League of legends which took a lot more time to explain to even a gamer.

Fluttershy had minor look of horror and distaste on her face. "Why would anything like to play games like that?" She asked.

"Well simply put war and battle are very normal In my culture. I don't think there has been a single moment in history where two groups of humans have not been fighting. Warriors and soldiers are respected in all of human culture and the idea to be one without training or having to really kill anyone attracts a lot of people. Mainly men which makes sense in its own right but that's not the point."

"I can't imagine what is would be like if ponies went to war. We haven't had war since the rise of Nightmare moon over a thousand years ago." Fluttershy said.

"Well that explains a lot." I said in return.

"Explains what?" Fluttershy asked confused.

"Why you have the strangest technology. That and magic. You have the television and yet you are lighting your houses with candles and lanterns. From what I can tell there is no need for efficiency or real progress."

"I don't understand, what are you talking about?" Fluttershy asked even more confused.

"Simply put, conflict is progress. Humans are constantly working of new ways to do just about everything faster and more efficiently to beat there opponent. Whether it between two nations fighting or a company trying to get more customers, the urge to win is all large factor. I know I have only been here shortly but the lack of competition is showing." Based on that one sentence I was able to get a large idea of the ponies society. For the most part I could have easily been wrong but it felt the easiest way to explain everything.

"Ignore that last part. I don't know enough about you ponies to know how you work as a whole." I said trying to keep myself from looking like a fool. Fluttershy sat there and thought about it for a moment. We were back to talking soon after but this time is was more of a friendly chat. We started talking about things like "What is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you before" or a ton of "What would you do if...." questions. In about a couple hours, I quickly considered Fluttershy one of my closest friends.        

It was starting to get late. The sun was starting to set and Fluttershy had told Twilight she'd be back earlier. We started walking back to town when Fluttershy said something that I was looking forward to hearing. "You know, I could ask Twilight if you could stay at my house from now on. Does that sound like a good idea to you?

I smiled. "That sounds like a very good idea." I said. "But its about time I shut my mouth. We are almost in town."

Fluttershy nodded and we continued to walk without a word. We reached the library tree house a few minutes later and Fluttershy knocked on the door. This time she took a step back, as the door swung open again. The stood Twilight, she was dead tired and had super messy hair. "Uum Twilight, I think you need to get some sleep." Fluttershy said quietly. "I can take the human off your hands for a few days whilst you rest up. Also I have this for you, its his full name." Fluttershy handed Twilight the paper which I had written my name on.

"Fluttershy, how did you get this?" Twilight asked.

"Its a secret, but you really need a good nights sleep. Please Twilight go to bed." Fluttershy said. She was very concerned for her friend and I was too. The last time I didn't sleep enough for days on end, I ended up hallucinating and got a number of bad headaches.

"Ok Fluttershy, I will see you tomorrow then." Twilight said. She was almost falling asleep where she stood. Seeing that she was probably gonna need some help getting to bed. I boldly just picked her up and brought her to the guest room and laid her down. I grabbed some blankets and put them over her body. She didn't struggle the entire time and fell asleep once she touched the bed. I went back downstairs and smiled at Fluttershy, who was still standing in front of the door. She smiled back and we started walking back to her cottage.

The sun had completely set by the time we arrived and I let out a big yawn. For whatever reason, I was getting tired a lot faster since my arrival to Equestria. I sat down in one of the chairs outside and slowly began to doze off. I vaguely remember Fluttershy saying good night as I started falling asleep. Today had been a nice day and I was looking forward to the next.
