Applejack had spent a decent part of her morning looking for Merry until she decided to just wait for him when he went to go pick up Twilight for their ‘date’. So she told Big Mac where she was headed and would probably be back later.

“So let me get this straight Applejack. You’re telling me Merry snuck onto your farm at dawn, and stole some apples. Then when you confronted him as he was leaving, he assaulted you by throwing an apple at you, knocking off your hat and causing you lose track of him?” Twilight was having a hard time grasping the fact Merry stole some apples and caused a bit of a ruckus so early in the morning.

“That’s right Twi, and I know for a fact he’s a coming by here later so Ah'ma stay right here until he does. No one steals from the Apple Family and gets away with it.” Applejack snorted some visible steam with a scowl on her face.

“Well I’m sure Merry had a perfectly good reason for it. I mean he didn’t seem like a thief when we meet him. At least he didn’t look like one to me.” Twilight had tilted her head up in thought.

Applejack scoffed “Of course you wouldn’t Twi, you were so busy checking him out you couldn’t see past his shell. I’m telling ya, he’s lying about everything he does.”

Twilight blushed “I was not just checking him out. It was for Science!”

~~~~~~~~~~~

Merry was walking through the town with his hands on his head while looking up at the cloudless sky. ‘I really need to get a house or something, carrying my backpack around everywhere is pretty annoying. I wonder if I have to build my own house or if I can just buy one.’

“Ahh man, I really wish I had my iPod, walking without music is soo booreing.” Merry began to hum a random tune as he walked along and made random noises like “beep boop bee boop.”

By the time he reached the Library he got a feeling in his gut that he was in trouble. “Why do I feel like I’m about to enter the principals office?” Merry slowly pushed the door open and said “Hello?”

“Ah Merry! Glad you could come by so early. Maybe you can help clear up this mess with Applejack! She said you stole some apples from her farm, is that true?” Twilight had moved up to the door and was standing in front of Merry with Applejack behind her who was fuming.

“Steal? I don’t remember stealing any apples, ” Merry tilted his head up in thought “are you talking about that group of apple trees I found?”

Applejack moved forward “That GROUP of apple trees were on Apple Family property and are a part of our Apple Tree Orchard. Stealing from that field is like stealing money from us, and stealing money from us is like stealing food from our mouths.” Applejack snorted again.

“Surely such a big farm can't be harmed that much from only 6 apples going missing could it?” Merry looked at Applejack with an eyebrow raised “surely you are over reacting.”

“The 6 apples ya took cost a total of 3 bits. We now have a confirmed loss of 3 bits on top of all the apples we lose because not every apple is perfect and we can't sell an imperfect product. At most we get 1 bushel of apples per tree. A bushel of apples sells for 63 bits. However,the apples from each bushel must be sorted for quality control. After sorting 100 bushels, only about half of them will be passable on a good day.” Applejack took a deep breath “Not just that, you aren’t the only one that steals apples from our farm, the critters in the nearby fields also come onto our farm and eat our apples and into our profits. The money we make selling apples barely keeps us afloat, it’s the reason why we make and sell apple cider in the fall to keep us up while the trees don’t produce any fruit. If you keep eating apples from my farm without paying it’s a total lose of 180 bits per month. Assuming you only eat 6 a day.” Applejack just finished staring Merry down.

‘Great, now I feel like a pile of shit.’

Le sigh

“Now I can see your pain, I’m sorry Applejack, I won't steal from your farm anymore.”

Twilight just looked at Applejack “I didn’t know you could do math so well in your head Applejack.”

“Ah have to know how ta do some simple math, Mah livelihood depends on it. And apology accepted Merry, Ah’ll have ya pay me for them later since I know you don’t have any money. Being new to our planet and all.” Just then Apple Bloom followed by Scootaloo came through the door.

“Ah told ya Mah sis went to see Twilight Scoots.” Apple Bloom just lets herself in along with Scootaloo.

“What are you two doing here?” Twilight questioned.

‘Oh, this should be interesting, I thought for sure I wouldn’t be around to see the look on Applejacks face.'

“I just came by looking for Applejack, so I could thank her for breakfast this morning!” Scootaloo just smiled at Applejack who had a look of confusion on her face.

Apple Bloom spoke up next “It was so nice of ya to provide breakfast for Scootaloo and Merry Applejack! But that’s my sis for ya, Always willing to help those in need.”

“What in tarnation are you girls talking about?”

“Merry said he went to Sweet Apple Acres to get us breakfast and you were kind enough to give him a few apples. Since I forgot to pack breakfast for my uh, camping trip. Anyway we have to go get Sweetie Belle now for some Crusading” Scootaloo and Apple Bloom ran out the door without giving Applejack or Twilight a chance to put two and two together.

Applejack just watched them leave then turned to Merry “what did she mean ‘thanks for breakfast’ Merry?”

Merry just shrugged his shoulders “I have no idea.”

“Yall know you can't lie to me. Did ya really steal apples so Scootaloo could eat something for breakfast after her so called camping trip?”

“Maybe I didn’t maybe I did, what does it matter? I still stole them. I’ll pay for them so don’t worry about it.” Merry sighed “I just need to find a job that will pay me some money is all.”

Twilight sighed “We can handle that when it comes to, but for now lets get started Merry. I made plans for the perfect date.”

“Uhh, perfect date?” ‘Looks like I won't have to think of anything'

“Yes, it's all right here in this book I have called, The 10 Commandments of Dating. Now if you will excuse us Applejack, we have some business to attend to today.”

Applejack just sighed “Fine, Ah'ma gonna ask around town to see if’n anypony needs a helping hoof or something.”

“Thanks Applejack, but I’m not gonna forgive you for calling me a pig bucking varmint, and I can’t believe we're not even friends after all the sweet things you did to me in the barn on my first night here, That hurts my feelings.”

“Applejack! Did you really call him that, and what sweet things?!” Twilight had given Applejack a glare.

“He’s lying Twi! Well, about the sweet things. I did call him a pig bucking varmint this morning...” Applejack looks away then back to Merry “But Ah certainly did nothing sweet with ya on yer 1st night here.”

“I’ll take your word for it Applejack, because I know you’re a terrible liar. Let's go Merry, I have a big day planned for us.” Twilight walked past Merry brushing her tail against his chest as she went toward the door, levitating a wicker basket behind her.

“Well, I guess I’ll see you around Applejack.” Merry waved bye to Applejack as she just shook her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twilight led Merry to the park and he followed her out into a meadow where she set down the picnic basket she had brought along.

“Now, I had spike pack us a Picnic basket, so we could have brunch at the park as we got to know each other better.” She then used her magic to bring out a red and white checkered blanket for them to sit on. Followed by two plates and a sandwich.

“Gee, you really did plan this out well didn’t you?” Merry had just watched her do everything with a slack jaw, unsure of what to make of everything floating around with a purple aura around it. “So I’m gonna take a wild guess and say the purple aura is your magic?”

“Yes, it’s a levitation spell, rather basic for all unicorns. Do you have magic where you come from?” Twilight began to levitate one of the plates to Merry. Merry grabs the plate with the sandwich and sets it down

“Sadly no, we don’t have magic in my home world. We have technology and its quite advanced compared to your own. Take for instance my iPod...” Merry pulls out his iPod and his headphones. “This small device can carry 16gigabytes of music, or videos.”

Twilight looked at the small device in his hand with a look of wonder “How big is a gigabyte? The super computer I have in the basement of the Library has a memory of 128 megabytes. Though it isn’t used much since I stopped researching Pinkie Pie...” She levitated her sandwich up to take a bite.

Merry raised an eyebrow “Really? That’s what is considered a super computer around here? Well, a Gigabyte is 1024 megabytes to be exact.” Twilight's mouth drops and she set the sandwich back on the plate.

“W-W-What?! This little thing in your hands has 128 times more storage than my super computer?!” Merry just watched as she looked wide eyed at his iPod.

“Probably just as much computing power as well. Also, this thing plays music and can record video, it’s the 6th generation model after all. The only problem is this thing runs on a battery, and the battery died on me last night.” Merry picked up his sandwich and took a bite. ‘What the hell? Is this a flower?’

“Hmm, what is the power source? You said you don’t have magic where you came from, so it couldn’t be a gem filled with magic.” Twilight began to ponder to herself silently

“Its electricity, and from what I’ve seen, you guys don’t use any. So I’m kinda at a loss for what to do. It's useless without power.” Merry just sighed and set the flower sandwich down.

“Well I do know a spell that might work.” Twilight gave him an unsure sure kind of smile

"What do you mean might work?” Merry just crossed his arms

“Well I can cast a low power electricity spell, and it will charge it or fry it.” Twilight gave Merry a sheepish smile.

“Hehe so its half n' half. Might as well give it a try, after all, even if it does get fried it’s the same as being unable to charge it. Go ahead, give it a spin. Just make the spell low powered. It normally charges at a rate of 5 volts/500 milliamps.”

“Oh ok, I think I can manage that. Hopefully my knowledge of electrical currents will help a lot.” Twilights horn begins to glow as a purple aura enveloped the iPod. A few seconds later the iPod comes back to life and lights up.

“Oh nice, it has like maybe 2% battery power now.” Merry just raised his eyebrow at it then to Twilight.

“Here, I know another spell that will maintain it.” Twilights horn began to glow again as the purple aura enveloped the iPod once again.

“Maintain it?” Merry just watched as the purple aura faded from her horn and the iPod.

“Yes, it should be able to stay on now for a few days. Now that I did something for you, how about you tell me about you now?” Twilight took a deep breath and sighed as she went to take another bite of her sandwich.

“That doesn’t seem like a fair trade but alright, now where do I start?” Merry thought for a bit “might as well start with the basics. My name is Merry Sue and I’m a simple High school senior, age 18, blood type O positive, born the year of the Dragon. Master of useless talents and knowledge of useless fact. Oh yeah I have a huge dragon tattoo on my back.”

“What do you mean useless talents? A talent can't be useless, also a fact.” Twilight was confused, how could any knowledge or talent possibly be useless?

“Well how about the fact that rubber bands last longer when refrigerated, or that almonds are members of the peach family.” Twilight just looked at him unamused. “And as for talents, the only thing I can show you right now is a handstand.”

Twilight just looked at him with an eyebrow raised. “That is not the kind of stuff I wanted to know. I want to know more about you, as a ningen. It would seem you’re the 1st ningen to ever travel here. According to that reply letter I got from Princess Celestia...” Twilight seemed to trail the end of her sentence off quietly.

“So basically you want to know about ningens in general?”

“Yes please.” Twilight just smiled as she set her sandwich aside, then brought out a notepad with a quill.

“Well, In all honesty I’m one of the people that has no faith left in my race, Most of the ningen race as I see it is a bunch of sheep that blindly follow what another one says simply because he sounds right, or the fact they are too lazy to figure it out themselves. Not only that, but we are a race built upon repeated violence and war brought on by different skin colors and beliefs. Honestly I think my race gets bored of peace and just decides to cause trouble. Or maybe it's just in our blood to cause problems.” Merry leaned forward and rested his head on his hands.

“What do you mean? How can ningens make such amazing things like your iPod if it's based around violence. That couldn’t of been for violence, right?” Twilight looked a bit worried, are ningens a race of warriors like griffins?

“Sadly computer technology like this started with a war, you see in World war 1 or 2 , I can't remember I’m really bad at this kind of stuff, but basically we made a super computer to translate the hidden German messages. Most of the civilian tech is hammy downs from war tech that became outdated. War fuels the world so to speak. But you really shouldn’t take my word for it. I never actually looked any of it up, I just know what other people told me and that I’ve read at some point in time.”

“So the ningen race is based upon war and violence?” Twilight had stopped taking notes and just looked down.

“Most of the time yes, But we do have good people. Even if most of them are fools trying to support others the wrong way.” Merry was just looking off into the distance.

“How can you support someone the wrong way?”

“Simple really, a lot of our charities go to villages that are suffering and dying out or something bad is happening to them. So we send food, aid, and money. But we aren’t fixing the problem, we are simply delaying the inevitable. If we really wanted to help them, we would also teach them and figure out what the problem is. But most ningens are too lazy to leave their home, so they just send stuff, mostly just money is sent. But there are some people that are teaching them, Of course they won't do it for free. Nothing is free in my world, or any most likely.”

“That’s extremely sad....” Twilight looked like she was about to cry.

‘Uh oh, better bring up the mood’ “But luckily we have good people. Some people are famous in history for their selfless acts of helping others. We have people that help those for nothing, others for the sake of helping others. And we have day to day heroes like fire fighters and such.”

“So you have heroes that are real?” Twilight seemed to brighten up at the word heroes.

“Yeah, not heroes with super powers. But just normal people that do heroic things like saving people from a burning building, or helping innocent’s out of a hostage situation, things like that.” Merry looked up the sky “I’ve always wanted to be a hero of some kind. But I never really got around to figuring out how to go about it, ha-ha” Merry just scratched his head. “But you know how things are, someone always rise’s to the occasion. My life choices didn’t help ether, my chaotic free spirit cause’s me to make stupid decisions without much thought behind the consequences.”

Twilight was furiously scribbling down notes “What do you mean chaotic free spirit?”

Merry thought for a minute “Well, I tend to take the path that seems the most fun at the time, like this morning, I could of told Applejack I was just gonna get some apples for Scootaloo, but instead I decided to mess with her, and she was pretty mad at me because of it. That’s pretty much my main problem. I take the path that looks like the most fun.”

Twilight continued to scribble down some notes, then look up to Merry “So you like causing trouble then?” She set the notepad aside and brought up her sandwich again.

“Well not trouble, just having fun. Although, I tend to get in trouble because of my fun... Hehe” Merry picked up the sandwich and took another bite. It was like eating a salad, but between two slices of bread, and without salad dressing.

Twilight took another bite and after she finished chewing she spoke “What did you mean by year of the dragon? I’ve never heard of something like that before, is it similar to the great dragon migration we have? Oh yeah, and what’s a tattoo?”

“Heh, Year of the dragon is just part of the Chinese Zodiac, it’s a 12 year cycle and every year is a different animal. I can't remember any of the others except my own, and I’m a dragon. As for a tattoo...” Merry began to take his shirt off

“W-what are you...” Twilight began to blush but still curious as well

Merry finished taking his shirt off and spun around so Twilight could see his back, “A tattoo is basically a picture permanently printed onto a ningens skin.” Twilight got up and gently walked over to get a closer look at his dragon tattoo, It took up most of his back, and it was breathing a green mist onto the left side of his back. The claws had been drawn to the point it looked like it was grabbing onto the skin of his back causing him to bleed.

“That’s fascinating, how is such detail achieved, and how is it done?” Twilight began to run her hoof over parts of it to see if it stuck out at all.

“As for detail I have no idea, I’m no artist, but I’m assuming the tattoo artist just uses many different shades of ink and layers it more in some areas. I wasn’t really paying attention to what he was doing while it was being done...” Merry put his shirt back on “As for how it's done, you basically dip a needle in some ink and repeatedly stab it into the skin, thousands of times, causing the ink to get trapped and staining the color of the skin.”

“Stabbed with a needle thousands of times?! Doesn’t that hurt?” Twilight was shocked such a beautiful design could of been the product of pain.

“Yeah it hurts, but over time the pain pretty much numbs out and you just feel the pressure.” ‘Or so I’ve been told’ “I was able to get this entire thing done in about a week, only cost me about a grand, but I went all out for it. I had been saving my money for years.”

“A grand?! As in a thousand bits?!”

“Uh yeah, are bits the form of currency around here? I remember Applejack talking about bits before, I had no idea what she was talking about, but I went along with it anyway.”

“Yes, bits are the form of currency in our world, gems also suffice but their prices vary greatly. Size doesn’t always mean better when it comes to gems. And as for bits...” Twilight pulls out a coin pouch from god knows where, and levitates out a bit “this is a bit. It's really just a gold coin.”

“Wait, gold? As in PURE gold?” Merry grabs the coin from the levitation and feels its weight in his hand. ‘A fucking solid gold coin? How could 3 solid gold coins be worth 6 apples? It must be made of lead and just painted gold...’

“Yes its pure gold, gold is abundant here. Its rather worthless, even though we still use it in jewelry due to many ponies liking the way it looks.”

Merry’s eye twitched a little “Last I checked, gold in my world was about 1,500 dollars an ounce. So basically 6 of Applejacks apples would cost me 4,500 in my world. That’s ridiculous.”

“Is gold really that valuable on your world?” Twilight's eyes opened wide in amazement

“Yeah it is, but we don’t use it as a form of currency we only use it in jewelry and ningens by nature are rather greedy, causing its price to skyrocket at times.” Merry hands the bit back to Twilight as he wondered if it would be possible to jump between worlds with a pocket full of bits and become a millionaire.

Merry cleared his throat “Anyway, tell me about yourself a bit, while I look through your basket for more food.” Merry crawled across the blanket over to the basket and lifted the top to search inside.

“Well, my full name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am one of the elements of harmony, the element of Magic to be exact. And I am Princess Celestia's top student.”

“What's the element of magic exactly? Do all ponies have something like that? Applejack told me she was the element of honesty.”

“No, not all ponies, just me and my 5 friends. Applejack is the element of honesty, Rarity is the element of generosity, Fluttershy is the element of kindness, Pinkie is the element of laughter, Rainbow Dash is the element of Loyalty, and as you know I am the element of Magic. Together we form the Elements of Harmony and we stop great evils like Nightmare moon and Discord from destroying our world.”

“Whoah whoah wait a minute, you mean you and your friends are a group of super heroes?” ‘And the name Fluttershy rings a bell, wasn't that the name of the pony in the cozy cottage yesterday?’

“No we're not super heroes or anything, without the elements were just a group of normal ponies like everypony else” Twilight was blushing at the thought of being a super hero, and it reminded her of the time she pretended to be the Mysterious Mare Do Well.

“Ah, so you're like the green lantern then, you have an item that gives you great magical powers, that's cool.” Merry nodded his head in thought as he pulled out another salad sandwich and slipped it into his bag. Sadly the basket only contained the salad sandwiches and some hay.

Twilight coughed into her hoof “Well then, now that I think we’re done here, let's head over to Sugar Cube Corner for the next phase.”

‘Next phase? What does that book even have written in it?’ “Alright, need some help packing this stuff up?” Merry got up off the blanket and stood to the side ready to start folding the blanket.

“Oh don’t worry about that I got it.” Twilights horn began to glow again and everything floated back into the basket and then in a bright flash it poofed away.

“Well that's neat, what did you do with it?”

“I just sent it back to the Library for Spike to clean up” Twilight just smiled at Merry and began to trot away.

‘That poor dragon, is he just some slave? Mental note, find the truth behind why Spike is serving a pony.’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a short trot and walk they were back in the town. Merry had decided since he couldn’t exactly hold her hoof while she trotted, he had decided to simply set his hand on her back as he walked next to her. She was startled at first then blushed when she realized what Merry was doing, but didn’t say anything. When they reached the building that looked like a gingerbread house Merry just looked at it with a tilted head.

“Ponies actually live in this? I thought it was just decoration or something.”

“I admit, it is a bit odd, but it’s a great for advertising they’re a sweets store.” Twilight just giggles. As she leads him inside.

It looked fairly normal for a store, some tables with a counter, not as cookie like as he figured everything would be, seemed like a normal building on the inside. Behind the counter stood a pink pony with a huge grin on her face.

“Oh my gosh! Twilight who’s this!?” the pink pony suddenly used some kind of super speed and stops on a dime in front of the two still smiling as wide as ever.

“Hello Pinkie, This is Merry Sue the ningen from uhh, across time and space?” Twilight just craned her head to the side looking at Merry.

“Yeah that’s right, across time and space.” Merry just nodded his head “So this is the element of laughter?”

Pinkie just giggles “Yeah! How did you know that?! And isn’t ningen just Japanese for human? Why would you call yourself a ningen instead of just saying human? Is it because you're on a secret mission? Huh huh huh are ya are ya?!” Pinkie was jumping up and down in place as she spoke. “Oh and why is your hand on Twilight’s back? Oh oh oh! Don’t tell me! You just became such good friends that you decided to...” Pinkie was stopped by Twilight placing a hoof in her mouth.

“You have to give us time to answer your questions Pinkie, and what did you mean ningen is Japanese for human?” Twilight just looks at Merry with a questioning glare.

“Hey, don’t look at me like that, it's not like I lied to you. Ningen is indeed Japanese for human. I just decided to say ningen because it sounded cooler I thought. But what I wanna know is, how did she know what Japanese was?”

Twilight just shook her head “That’s just Pinkie for you, she’s just random like that, she seems to know a lot and nothing at the same time, she’s a real mystery.”

Merry thought about it for a moment, ‘well I haven’t really questioned anything else in this world, why start now.’ “Hmm, well what are we getting here?”

“Well the book suggests getting something at a café that we share...” Pinkie immediately bounded into the kitchen and zipped back out to a nearby table carrying what looked like a large strawberry Milkshake with two straws.

“One lover’s shake is ready to go! And it's on the house today! To celebrate the new alien and Twilights 1st date!” She then zipped back behind the counter and just peeked over the countertop to see what was going to happen next. God only knows how big her grin is behind that countertop.

“Well she’s certainly generous, giving us a free drink and all.” Merry non-chilantly sat down at the table and motioned for Twilight to sit across from him. Which she did with a blush on her face.

Twilight began to drink out of the straw on her side and Merry did the same “This is pretty good, it's really sweet.” Twilight stopped for a moment and looked over to Pinkie.

“Pinkie, this doesn’t taste like the normal strawberry milkshake, what’s different about this one?” Twilight continued to drink trying to figure out what the odd taste was, it wasn’t bad, but it was different.

Pinkie just giggled “It's got the secret lovers ingredient, couples usually order it around dinner time, not lunch. You’re so bold Twilight!”

Merry immediately stopped drinking. ‘Order at night? Whhaat the fuucck!’

“What exactly is this secret and how long does it last?” Merry just looked at her hoping it's not what he thinks it is.

“Oh it only lasts about 2 hours or so, buts that's aaalll you neeeed” Pinkie just grinned and went back to ‘hiding’ behind the counter staring at them both.

‘Well fuck, some kind of aphrodisiac then?’

Twilight began to drink it more greedily now “Drink more Merry before I finish it all!” Twilight just grinned at him.

‘Oooh fuuck, confound ponies, those totally big eyes fooled me into thinking they didn’t know much about any of this stuff. Might as well indulge, but I still might have a....small problem.' Merry just continued to drink with Twilight who’s face was becoming redder as she drank more, but Merry himself didn’t feel anything.

By the time they finished Merry realized it wasn’t 2 straws, but just a single one that split into two ends. Twilight was sitting with her chin resting on her hoof staring at Merry with a slight smile on her face.

‘Oh shit, I think this affected her pretty hard, those are bedroom eyes if I’m not mistaken...’

“Hey Merry, lets cut the date early and head back to the library.”

“Uhh, ok sure, whatever you want babe.”

“Thanks Pinkie, I’ll pay you back later” Twilight just waved bye to Pinkie who was giggling furiously. All the while she kept her pace in front of Merry swishing her tail so much it was giving a clear view of her backside.

‘I have a feeling things are about to get interesting...or really bad’ Merry just followed Twilight back to the library and when he tried to catch up and walk next to her, she would speed up again. Merry eventually decided she knew what she was doing and wanted him to look, and stopped trying to catch up with her.

By the time they reached the Library Merry was feeling flushed and like he couldn’t sit still. He had to keep moving, doing something. Then it hit him, he was fucking horny.

“Hey Twilight hope you don’t mind, I’ma take a quick shower.” Twilight simply nodded

“Yeah sure, the bathroom is connected to my room.” Twilight led him upstairs then unexpectedly shouted.

“SPIKE!” Spike jumped out of his basket in her room and stood at attention “I left some bits on the counter, go do something for two hours”

“Uhh, okay sure Twilight.” Spike started to leave the room then turned around when Twilight wasn’t looking and gave Merry a thumbs up.

‘God dammit... It's looking like I have to do this now... Fuck it! Beats renaming one of my hands I guess .’

“Merry walked into the bathroom and stripped down to get into the shower. A cold shower would hopefully calm him down enough, so he doesn’t just go and rape poor Twilight. The aphrodisiac was causing him to heat up so much by the time the cold water rolled off his head and hit his back it was already warm. He finished after about 10 minutes soaping himself up and cleaning any grime away. And walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom wearing just a towel.

“Hope you don’t mind I used your...” Merry stopped talking when he saw Twilight laid out on the bed wearing knee high socks. ‘Why does she look more attractive wearing socks? What is this sorcery?’

“Hey Merry, Spike is out of the house, so we have it all to ourselves now” Twilight got a sultry look in her eyes “I put on the socks Rarity gave me for such an occasion...”

‘Wat, are socks their version of lingerie?’

“Now let's get started Merry, sit next to me, I’ll lead.” Merry just shrugged and sat down next to Twilight with his towel still on. Twilight brought one of his hands up and placed it upon her horn “Now start caressing me with those digits of yours, then its your turn”

‘So it's not just some bone? That's kinda odd. Here goes nothing!’ Merry began to gently stoke her horn, and he noticed her shake and her face get even more flushed ‘Is this like a horn job or something? Hehe, this is funny. I wonder...’ Merry bent down a bit and licked her horn as well, causing her to make a loud moan

“Keep going! Don’t stop!” Merry just raised an eyebrow, ‘Fuck it, time to go all out I guess.’ So he enveloped her horn into his mouth and began to encircle his tongue around her horn. After a bit he began to hear a hum and feel a glow in his mouth so he got off in time to see a small ball forming at the tip of her horn and shoot off into the air and explode into a small firework like fashion.

‘Heh, fireworks? What is that? A magic gazism? That is too funny.’ Twilight just lay there panting for a few minutes until she got back to her sense’s and laid upright.

“That was amazing, I didn’t think you would use your mouth, normally its just a massage on the forehead and horn...Anyway, it's your turn now” Merry thought for a moment ‘Well fuck, I went too hard?’

Twilight undid Merry’s towel and looked at his member “Umm, are you not excited?”

Merry froze ‘Oh fuck’ He looked down and realized he was indeed excited ‘FUUCK! Kinda figured I wouldn’t be big enough’

“Umm, that’s as big as it gets for my race...” Merry scratched his head with a sheepish smile on his face

“But its smaller then a colt's...” Twilight continued to stare in disappointment

‘WAT...FUCK!’

“I think Spikes is bigger...” Merry just curled his lips together as his eyes got wider

‘FUUCCK!’

Merry just pushed Twilight off and walked to the bathroom and put his clothes back on. After he was fully dressed he walked back out to the bedroom and looked at Twilight.

“I won't apologize, and that’s just the way it is. Even if I’m small as shit, Don’t try to criticize” Before Twilight could respond he jumped out the open window and began to sprint away after he landed.

Twilight looked out in confusion and whispered to herself “I know a spell to make it bigger...”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merry ran as fast as he could out of town and toward the Everfree forest, looking for solitude. By the time he reached the edge of the forest he just sat down at the closest tree and slumped down resting his head on his knees.

‘I fucking knew I wouldn’t be big enough, but smaller than a colt? God dammit, I knew I wasn’t big to begin with but...Fucking shit...’ Merry looked at his left hand “guess your name is now Leftina.”

Le sigh

‘Might as well make use of the fact my iPod works now I guess.’ Merry pulled out his iPod and turned it on. ‘Lets see...what to listen too...’ (Ozzy Osbourne - Goodbye to Romance), this song seems to fit the situation.

Le sigh

Merry leaned back against the tree and put his hands behind his head. His face was still flush from the aphrodisiac, but the shame brought to his manhood killed his entire sex drive.

‘Heh, well at least I learned that a unicorn's horn can also be used as a sexual thing.’ Merry chuckled to himself for a bit at the thought of hornjobs for 5 bits. 'But shit, I did kinda just abandon her, but then again she did say it was smaller than a child's...what a female canine.’

‘But the big question now is, What to do?’

Merry just sat there and decided he would calm down then go look around. Maybe find Applejack and figure out if she found someone who needed a helping hoof, or hand.

As Merry watched the sky he realized none of the clouds above the town moved, but the ones above the forest seem to move like normal. Was there only wind above the forest and not the town? How odd.

After about sitting around for 30 minutes or so he started to notice a rainbow streak go from cloud to cloud. After watching it dart back and forth a few times he noticed it was also moving around the clouds above the town or making some disappear. It started to get closer during its cloud hopping and he realized it was a cyan pony. It appeared to be looking for something, then it began to dart down into Merry’s direction.

‘Wonder what this is about?’ by the time Merry stood up the cyan pony with a rainbow mane landed in front of him

“Are you that Alien named Merry? Twilight came to me hoping I could find you as fast as possible.” the rainbow pony looked Merry up and down “She was right, you are hard to miss”

‘Hrmm, Twilights looking for me? What could she possibly want with me?’ “What does Twilight want with me? And why would you dye your hair like that?”

The rainbow haired pony scoffed “My name is Rainbow Dash and this hair color is natural.”

‘I shoulda guessed as much, heh’

“And as for what Twilight wanted, I have no idea, but she looked upset.” Rainbow Dash began to glare “what did you do?”

“What did I do?! It's more like what she did to me.” Merry crossed his arms and put on a pout face.

“What exactly happened?” Rainbow got out of her defensive stance and cocked her head to the side.

Merry thought it over for a bit, to word it without letting the whole truth out. “How would you feel if something you were proud of, and what made you special, turned out to be nothing. Even a child could outshine you? That's kinda what she did to me, So I deemed to necessary to jump out the window and run away in shame...” Merry sighed “I guess running away was pretty dumb though.”

“Oh yeah, I can see that, If my speed I’m so proud of turned out to be something a child could do I'd be depressed as well...I didn’t know Twilight was so mean, What did she insult?”

‘Boom nutshot, How the fuck am I gonna answer that? Fuck it, might as well get a decent reaction.’

“She insulted my manhood.” Merry just sat down with his legs crossed as he watched Rainbow Dashes face contort in confusion, then into a look of shock, then in place of giggling she oddly looked kind of sad.

“Well, you’ll have to forgive my friend Twilight, she was kind of a shut-in when she first came to Ponyville. So she still makes foalish social decisions that can cause problems. Besides, I’m sure she was just over reacting, I’ve seen her porn collection before, the only stallions she can compare it to are oversized porn actors.”

Merry just raised an eyebrow ‘These ponies are anything but innocent, did they just evolve to look innocent?’ “Define oversized for you ponies.” Merry looked at her, even though these ponies seemed to look like a Shetland pony with a shorter body, He still feared the worst.

“About 18 inches, average is around 12 though.” Merry sighed

“Hey tell me something Rainbow Dash” Rainbow just looked at him

“What would you do if the stallion you were with happened to be around 5?” Merry thought to himself for a second ‘Was this Rainbow Dash a feminine male? Or just a tomboy. Normally girls don’t like talking about sex with a stranger...’

“Hey I’m not a Colt coddler!” Dash paused for a moment “Wait, you mean 5 inches? I don’t think that’s even possible...But I wouldn’t be with him, I’m not a unicorn I can't change his size to my taste... And even then it doesn’t change too much” Dash thought for a moment again “Holy crap, are you telling me...”

“I’ll have you know I’m around average from where I come from.” Merry just looked at his left hand ‘Looks like it's just you and me my sweet.’

Merry got up from his sitting position and took a deep breath “Lead on Rainbow! Take me to see Twilight, Might as well clean up the mess I made.”

Rainbow Dash just nodded her head and took the lead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“So Rainbow Dash, tell me a bit about yourself, Twilight mentioned you as one of her friends and the element of loyalty, but not much else. I didn’t even know who you were until you told me.” Merry just walked along her side but behind a bit so he could still follow.

“Well lets see, I work for the weather center of Ponyville and set up how all the weather looks. I have a natural rainbow mane, Just like my dad's.” Rainbow dash just sighed a little “Kinda wish I didn’t have rainbow hair, everyone think’s I’m a lesbian, and its not true, I just haven’t found a stallion that can keep up with me is all. Let alone as awesome as me.”

‘Lesbian? A girl then, glad I could figure it out without asking directly. Hmm, I haven’t met a single male pony sense Apple Blooms brother, besides the maybe 5 or 6 I’ve seen while walking through town.’

“Heh, that's a shame, I’d love to have hair that grew as a rainbow like yours. Did you know in my culture and among many others, the rainbow was considered something that only the Gods could obtain, not only that some gods traveled along the rainbow. Heh, some believe it was a rainbow bridge that led you into heaven after a hard fought battle.” Merry just chuckled and sighed “You have obtained a hair color by birth that would of gotten you respect and fame in some cultures. Maybe even power as some would see you as a god or part god.”

“Really?” Rainbow began to blush a little at the thought of so much positive attention about her hair.

“Yeah really, although most of those beliefs are old. So don’t expect me to bow down to you or nothing. Ha-ha-ha” Merry just laughed out loud while Rainbow Dash just looked away

“I never expected you to anyway.”

“Hey, Rainbow Dash, I'ma call you Niji. Is that cool with you?”

“Why would you call me Niji? How did you get that from Rainbow Dash?”

“Heh, Niji is Japanese for Rainbow, I happen to like Japanese, I learned a bit of it from watching so many Anime's, it became kind of a hobby.”

“Hmm, well sure, it will take some time getting used to, As long as it doesn’t become a pet name.”

“HA! If I wanted to give you a pet name, I would call you Dashie, or Skittles. I’m just saying your 1st name in a different language, nothing fancy.”

They continued to walk in silence until they reached the Library. Niji walked up to the door a bit embarrassed after all the things Merry said about her and sort of renaming her. Upon entering she moved over the side and Merry walked in only to see 5 more ponies, and one he hasn’t seen before. A white unicorn with a purple mane, she was a total high maintenance type, her over styled mane was a dead give away.

‘Did Twilight get all of her friends to go look for me or something? And why the hell is everyone here?’

“Rainbow! You found him and brought him back!” Twilight still was flush red in her cheeks, apparently she still had about half an hour until the aphrodisiac wore off. Pinkie just giggled a bit

“Gee Twi, what did you do to him to make him run away? Was it something really kinky?” Twilight just looked away while the others gasped a bit except for Merry and Pinkie.

Merry shook his head “It wasn’t Twi’s fault I ran away like a fool. Let's just forget this whole thing happened and move on shall we?”

“Yes! Let's forget, Now Merry I think you left something upstairs, If you’ll just follow me...” Twilight began to go up the stairs, swishing her tail like before.

“No offense Twilight, But I think my sex drive pretty much died about 50 minutes ago. I’m sure its gonna stay dead for a loong time.” Merry just sighed and scratched his head “anyway did you find someplace for me to work Applejack?”

Applejack was just confused about the whole situation but spoke up after a bit “Uhh, sorry Merry, couldn’t find anyone that needed help for anything. You’ll have to make money some other way.”

Merry was stumped, how could he find a job? Maybe he could just hold up a sign asking for work, but then he would have to learn how to write this new language, it seems his translator only applied to spoken languages. “Hey girls, do regular or Pegasus ponies have something similar to a hornjob, like the one I gave you Twilight?”

All the ponies in the room gasped, besides Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, who simply giggled, before full out laughing.

“Why on earth would you wish to know something like that?!” the white unicorn finally spoke up in a shocked voice that sounded similar in tone to his own knight voice he used with Apple Bloom, regal and elegant.

“Well, I figured I could have one of you write me a sign that says, 5 bits for the special service. Or something like that.”

Pinkie was now full on laughing hysterically while Rainbow just began to laugh with her, the others soon joined in the with giggles except for the white unicorn and Fluttershy.

Rainbow spoke up after her laughing fit was over “Pegasus ponies have really sensitive wings and when touched it tends to cause arousal. But it's nothing close to a hornjob, there’s no climax 90% of the time. And Earth ponies really just have sexual stamina.”

“Interesting... So it would seem my only business clients would be unicorns, not very viable then.” Le sigh...

“You could work at my house caring for the animals...you know, if you don’t mind...” Fluttershy spoke just barely above a whisper

“Hm? What was that Fluttershy? Couldn’t quite hear you.” Merry started to move closer to her

Fluttershy just eeped a little then spoke up again “I said, you could work at my cottage tending to the animals, oh you know, if you don’t mind that is... I’m sure you're busy but I can pay you for your time...” Fluttershy just took a deep breath, sighed and looked Merry in the eyes “Someone brave and strong like you can help keep my lovely animals safe from the dangers of the Everfree forest.”

All the ponies just looked over to Merry to see what she was talking about. “What does she mean strong and brave? What happened?”

Merry just sighed “You know how I was hanging out with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo yesterday? I had no idea crazy wooden wolves lived in the Everfree forest when they had me follow them to go exotic bug hunting.”

“What?!” Merry just looked over at the white unicorn

“Before you get all crazy on me, let me finish ok? So anyway, we spent about 40 minutes looking around the forest and I was breaking branches to make a trail to follow back, it worked. Anyway we smelled something rancid...”

“Timber Wolf breath...” Merry just looked at Applejack then continued

“Yes, at the time I saw yellow eyes in the bush in front of us so we started to back away and when it started to come after us I picked the 3 of them up and ran as fast as I could following the trail I had made. I was too slow however as one of the wolves caught up to me and bit my left leg, But I kept running until it fell apart, funny right? It just fell apart...”

“You kept running with it attached to your leg?! That’s so Awesome!” Merry glanced at Rainbow, or Niji and just smiled.

“Yeah It was pretty cool I guess, Anyway, they wanted me to stop carrying them saying they could run just fine. So I set them down and before I knew it another wolf had jumped out and grabbed my left arm, I told them to follow the trail and get help while I distracted the wolves. And they did, After I fought off the wolves Fluttershy here found me all beaten up with the 3 fillies and she nursed me back to health.”

“But but, that was Yesterday! How are you perfectly fine now?!” exclaimed Twilight

“I’m just a fast healer it seems, heh the look on Fluttershys face was priceless as well.”

“Indeed, I was shocked as well to see that his broken leg had healed after he ate and took a nap.” The ponies just looked at Merry with new found wonder.

“That would certainly explain the sad mood Apple Bloom came home with yesterday.” Applejack just looked to the ground

“Aye it would explain Sweetie Belles as well. The poor Dear.” the white unicorn just pouted her lip and looked down as well.

“So, White unicorn, I’ma guess you’re Sweetie Belles...mother maybe?” The white unicorn just gasped

“Do I look that old?! Heavens no, I’m her older sister, My name is Rarity, not white unicorn, thank you very much.

Merry thought for a moment then looked over to Niji, maybe she was part of Scootaloo’s family? “Hey Niji, Is Scootaloo your little sis or something?”

“What? The squirt? No she’s not, I’m not her mom ether, but she’s my number 1 fan. Hmm, I’ve never met her parents before actually. Even though I’ve given her a few flying lessons...”

‘Fuck is she really homeless? I can't stand for that.’

“Niji? Why did Merry call you Niji Rainbow?” all the ponies looked back and forth between Merry and Rainbow.

Merry shrugged “Niji is shorter and easier to say, it just means Rainbow in Japanese. Nothing fancy, also I’ll take you up on that offer Fluttershy, Id love to work with animals and you.”

“Now let's go to your cottage I'm sure there's plenty you have to show me.” Merry just waved to Twilight “No hard feelings Twi, just how things gotta be, were too different...”

Twilight just looked at him and said “I’ll be sure to give you 5 bits next time, it's totally worth it.”

“BAW-HA-HA!” The ponies just gasped while Merry and Pinkie laughed out loud. “Oh man, I honestly didn’t expect that. Well alright then, sounds good to me. Let's go Fluttershy, there’s some things Id like to ask you as well.”

Before they could walk out the door Rainbow Dash stopped him “Wait, how come you didn’t tell anyone about beating some timber wolves and saving those three fillies earlier?” Rainbow just looked at him with a serious face.

Merry just chuckled “Because no one ever asked. And that's not the kind of person I am, if the girls decided to tell you then so be it, as far as I was concerned it was gonna be a secret. But I’m an open book, if you ask me something and I know the answer, I will tell you.”

Rainbow just looked at him, The thought of not telling people about your achievements seemed silly, how were people supposed to know how great you are? “But then, no one would know of your great deed, and how you saved them?”

“I don’t do what I want because I want fame or people...ponies to recognize me, I do what I want because I feel its right at the time, or if it needs to be done. Like when those 3 little girls were in need of help, I was the only one that could help them, So I did. Now if you will excuse us Niji, Fluttershy has some things she needs to show me before I start tomorrow.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Along the way to Fluttershys Cottage she was extremely quiet the whole time. So Merry decided to end the silence.

“Hey Fluttershy, can I ask you a question?”

“Um, sure...”

“Do young Pegasi need to eat anything special, so they can fly? Or do they just eat the same as other ponies?”

“Well um, during the growing phase a Pegasi needs a bit more protein to help develop the wing muscles. But other than that it's fairly normal.”

“So what would you suggest for a young Pegasi then?”

“Um...well I guess a decent amount of Alfalfa with meals would work great for the needed protein, but we can also digest eggs and things like bread, and dairy products, so that is also an option then...”

“Hmm, cool thanks Fluttershy, figured you or Niji would know best.” Fluttershy just looked at him wondering why he wanted to know about that.

“Um, if you don’t mind, can I ask why you wanted to know what a young Pegasi eats? If that’s ok with you, you don’t need to tell me...” Merry just chuckled, he has never known anyone to act so timid before.

“Heh, well just getting some needed info in case I decide to adopt someday or something I guess.”

“Oh...” and that’s all Fluttershy could say was Oh as she continued her pace. She would have to make him hers. She’s positive Twilight was just being mean about his size problem. It looked like she was on something at the time with her face so flush and talking loosely. It didn’t look that small when she saw him in her boxers. After all he couldn’t of been excited while in so much pain right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After they made it back to her cottage Fluttershy had spent the next few hours explaining the various needs of all her animals, All 67 of them. Not including the vast amounts more that would come from the nearby forests and fields that would come by for checkups, she even explained a bear that would stop by for some chiropractic work and a massage.

‘God damn, it’s a wonder she hasn’t asked for help before, how does she handle them all? The oddest thing is that she seems to speak to them and they understand her, and she understands them. It's quite fascinating. I guess speaking with animals would make her job really easy.’

“Sounds good Fluttershy, It will take me a bit of time to remember everything, but it's starting to get late. I’m thinking I should head out now, I’ll be by early in the morning to help you feed the animals breakfast. Oh by the way, you don’t mind if I grab something to eat from your fridge do you?”

“Oh not at all Merry, help your self.” Fluttershy just gently smiled

“Thanks, Not only do you offer me a job, you let me eat your food, you are much too kind.” Fluttershy just blushed

“Oh, well it is my element after all...” all the while through Fluttershy’s mind she kept thinking ‘You’re going to love me.’

Merry grabbed some bread and made himself an alfalfa sandwich and also grabbed the other sandwich he had placed inside her fridge earlier. The one he snaked from the picnic with Twilight, and placed both inside his bag.

“Alright this will do, Thank you very much Fluttershy, I’ll see you in the morning.” Merry walked out the front door again not hearing Fluttershy ask him to stay the night again.

“One day Merry, one day...” Fluttershy just watched him walk off into the sunset toward the park.
