Zak sat on his porch and watched the sun go down. He had a boring day and was just waiting for the excuse to end it. He ran a hand through his black, somewhat short hair, he wanted something interesting to happen once in his life, just once! The sun seemed to slowly grow brighter as it slowly descended, and brighter, and brighter. Zak moved a hand in front of his face and felt as if he was being pulled off the porch and away from the world.
Twilight looked up at the night sky. She had been studying a bit before going to bed. The library was quiet for Spike had left with Celestia and Luna to help with the documentation of the surrounding towns near Ponyville, and would be gone for another two weeks. Twilight missed Spike, but Celestia had said Spike was essential to the mission. For letters, Celestia taught Twilight a spell that would still get any letters sent to Celestia.
As Twilight started to turn away from the window a bright light suddenly caught her eye. She watched as the light flew through the night sky and landed with a loud bang very close to her house! Curiosity gripped her and she went out to investigate. The crash sight was a crater and, Twilight couldn't believe her eyes, lying in the crater was a creature Twilight had never seen before. The creature was definitely taller and bigger than her. It seemed to only have hair on its head. It wore clothing on almost every inch of its body, minus its head and hands.
Twilight's first reaction was fear, the thing was definitely bigger than her and could be dangerous. However the creature seemed unconscious and could be hurt. She then thought of getting Fluttershy, but she lived very far away, and she knew some healing magic anyway. Carefully, she used her magic and lifted him, she assumed it was a boy due to the lack of hair, and brought him inside and placed him on the sofa.
Twilight did a quick spell to check for minor injuries. No injuries appeared on her scan so she relaxed a bit. She then got a nagging feeling that she knew what the creature was... She looked and opened a book labeled, "Strange Creatures Throughout the Centuries". She flipped through the pages until she found the page she was looking for. "Humans," she read, "are strange creatures that appear in Equestria in random time lines. They are harmless and speak fine English, however are omnivorous. They seem to have the same things ponies do:music, games, foods, etc. Not much else is known about humans."
Twilight relaxed after reading those lines. It was much easier to think of the human as a pony other than something else. She heard slight groaning from the couch and quickly moved next to it to meet her waking guest.
Ha! You thought I was gonna make him a pony? Nope. He's human. We know where this is going! Please tell me how I did!
Zak felt like his head was being pounded by hammers. He opened his eyes slowly, the light hurting his eyes at first. The first thing he noted was that this wasn't his couch, because he was comfortable. He turned his head slightly and jumped at the biggest eyes he had ever seen. "I'm sorry." a feminine voice said, "I didn't mean to scare you."
Zak blinked repeatedly and rubbed his eyes, mostly because he could have sworn a pony was talking to him, a purple pony! "I'm mostly surprised," the pony continued, "no creature, not even humans, just fall out of the sky in a flash of light! And you're the first human to appear in..." she checked the book, "probably thousands of years! Celestia! I wish they kept some records of humans, this is incredible!"
Zak stared at this pony, this probably proved he was insane. Talking animals were always a sign of insanity. And the fact that it was purple didn't help either. "Um..." Zak said uncertainly. The pony noticed his discomfort. "Oh! My name is Twilight and your in Equestria, more specifically Ponyville." Zak closed his eyes, then opened them, "What?" he said. Twilight sighed, "You might want to get comfortable." she said.
After a couple hours of explaining, and Zak pinching himself 20 times, Zak rubbed his temples. All we're missing is Alice and the white rabbit. He thought to himself. "I guess we'll have to write to Celestia and tell her I'm here." he said. Twilight nodded, "I agree, but it's late. We'll write her in the morning."
