Lewis finally had a chance to properly look around the library. As he scanned the main room, he only then noticed how many books there actually was to see. There was a pile of books, a bookcase, a door, 2 more bookcases, another door, and a spiral staircase which he guessed would lead to more books.

He barely noticed Twilight come up next to him levitating a pile of books towards him. "I brought you some books about Equestria," she said, "Everything you need to know should be in these."

Lewis was simply staring at the books infront of him, not sure to be more shocked about how many there were, or to be more amazed at the fact they were floating. Twilight saw his look at said "Oh, right, my magic. Seeing as you are from a place that you say has no magic, I should probably show you more."

Before he could answer, she started moving the books around in a circle around the two and them placed them on the floor of the tree.

She pulled a book towards them and placed it on top of the pile and said "This will probably explain it more to you."

Lewis leaned over the book and read the title, 'Magic for dummies'. He huffed and Twilight giggled, "Oh, don't be such a baby." she said, sticking her tongue out at him.

It was then when a green and purple baby dragon walked down the stairs, normally referred to as Spike.

"Oh Spike, there you are," Twilight said, turning to look at him, "I want you to meet Xephos, he will be staying with us for a while." She gestured towards him.

"Oh, hey," Spike said, waddling down the stairs to shake Lewis's hoof, "I'm Spike, as Twilight just said."

Lewis took his paw (with slight difficultly) and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too Spike." he said.

After releasing the hoof/paw shake, Spike turned towards the unicorn.

"So Twilight, this your new coltfriend?"

Twilight and Xephos simultaneously blushed.

"SPIKE!" she shouted, still blushing a red that would make Big Macintosh proud, "He is NOT my coltfriend!"

Spike just giggled, "I was only joking. Anyway, I'm going back to bed"

And with that, he ran up the stairs, still giggling as he went

"Sorry about that." Twilight said, then gestured towards a sofa in the middle of the room. "You can read those there."

Lewis smiled and said, "Thank you again Twilight for taking me in, and don't worry, we will sort this Israpony situation out."

"Well, it was the least I could do," she started, "Good night."

Lewis waved her goodbye and Twilight trotted up the stairs.

He sighed, looking at all the books he was about to read.

"It's gonna be a long night."

---------------------

Simon lay in Fluttershy's bed, sighing

"What a nice girl- uh, mare, letting me stay with her." he thought. "I'm gonna have to repay her somehow."

His eyes started to droop and he rest his head back on the pillow, slowing falling asleep.

---------------------

For Fluttershy, however, sleeping was not one of the main priorities in her head right now.

"Why can't you just tell him?" one side of her brain said.

"But what if he doesn't feel the same way for you?" the other said

"You should tell him."

"But if he doesn't feel the same way, he will be disgusted."

"But you will never know if you don't try."

"But you will never know if you don't try."

That was the one thought that echoed in her head until she fell asleep

---------------------

Lewis was still reading the books Twilight had given him.

He was reading about the qualities and differences between the 3 types of ponies.

"Pfft," he thought. "I already know about all this stuff, but it's a good thing that they didn't remember when I mentioned Canterlot, or we would have been toast."

After another half-hour of reading, Lewis finally dozed off into a deep slumber.

---------------------

Simon was standing inside a dark area, the walls seemingly oozing.

He looked around and saw Lewis standing next to him.

"Lewis, where are we?" he said, starting to panic.

"I dunno Simon, I only just fell asleep and now I am here!" replied Lewis.

Suddenly, a puff of black smoke appeared infront of them.

They turned to look at it when it spoke.

"Ah, gentlecolts, nice to meet you both." everytime it spoke, the walls would ooze faster, then slow down when it stopped.

"Who are you?!" shouted Simon.

"Me? My name is Nightmare." it said in its dark voice.

"Huh, figures." muttered Lewis.

Nightmare ignored Lewis and continued.

"We will get rid of you two foals and take over Equestria."

Lewis spoke up again "Wait? We? You mean-"

"Yes," it interrupted, "Israpony and I are working together."

It began to fade as the nightmare ended. "I will be visiting you again soon."

Simon tried to pounce at it but it had already vanished.

---------------------

Simon and Lewis both woke up in a cold sweat.

Simon got out of Fluttershy's bed and walked up to the window, where the curtains were blowing in the cold breeze. He looked out and observed the fields infront of him, and noticed that it will still early in the morning, but not too early.

He was about to go downstairs but he noticed a mirror in the corner of the room.

"Huh, I still haven't seen myself properly." he muttered to himself.

Simon walked over to it and observed himself, noting his cutie mark and his short mane.

He also noticed that he was on the heavy side.

He huffed. "I guess some things didn't change."

He opened the door quietly and walked down the stairs, being careful where to tread incase he were to wake Fluttershy. When he got to the living room he saw her

She was curled up in a ball, squeezing on a pillow, her delicate pink mane dangling over it.

Simon's heart melted for about a minute before he realised he was still standing there staring at her, so he walked towards the front door and stepped outside.

What he did not hear was Fluttershy muttering "Oh.. Honey." ever so sweetly in her slumber.

---------------------

Simon decided to sit outside in the sun as the animals came out to greet him. They all lay next to him in the sun and a squirrel brought him a flower. He accepted it and petted the squirrel on the head as it also lay next to him. "I know what this would be good for." he thought

Fluttershy awoke hugging her pillow. As she opened her eyes she looked down at it and sighed, dropping it to the floor.

"If only..."

She picked her depressed self up and went up to her room to visit her visiter. She opened the door cheerfully and looked around to find no pony in sight.

"Oh no! Where could he have gone? I hope he hasn't left!" she started to worry when a white bunny hopped up to her and pulled on her tail.

"Oh, Angel bunny!" she said, "Have you seen our visiter?"

Angel nodded and pointed towards the door. She rushed towards it and opened it.

She was going to run out when she noticed him laying on the grass, with animals all around him. Fluttershy slowly trotted over to him and poked him.

His head shot up in surprise and he turned around, but he relaxed when he saw it was just Fluttershy.

"Oh, hi Flutters," he started, and she giggled when he remembered her nickname, "Want to sit with me?"

As on cue, some of the animals got up and offered her a seat next to him.

"Yes please Honey-- um, I mean, if it's alright with you." she said

Simon just quietly laughed at her shyness and patted the ground next to him, signifying for her to lay down. Fluttershy lay down and snuggled up against him.

They looked at the sun for a while and looked back at each other.

"Here, I got this for you." he said. He picked up the flower that he had received earlier and placed it in Fluttershy's mane. She blushed and hugged him.

"Thank you." she whispered.

"No problem." he whispered back.

---------------------

The two ponies lay together hugging each other for a while but soon decided it was time to get up. After Fluttershy had fed all her animals (with the help of Simon) they set off to Twilight's house.

Surprisingly they walked in awkward silence but it was soon stopped as Simon saw somepony walking over a hill.

He had grey fur and looked slightly old, and had an iron sword on his back aswell as a helmet to match. Simon stopped to look at him from a distance.

"What's wrong Honey?" Fluttershy said, stopping and turning around to face him.

"I see somepony up there, but he seems familiar..." he replied, still staring at him. "I'm gonna go take a look"

He trotted off towards the mysterious pony and Fluttershy followed.

When Simon got to the top of hill he realised who the pony was.

"Knight peculier?"

"Honeydew?"
