**A little Author's note. This is my first time writing something that wasn't for school. So keep in mind, I'm open to CRITICISM. Not hate. This is going to be...kind of odd. But I'll have some fun writing it. Enjoy!**
In Fluttershy's Cottage, the mane 6 is swarming her couch, looking at something she found in the woods. A young adult human with blond hair, blue eyes. They were supposedly to have just dissapeared when Celestia and Luna first came into power.
"What in tha' world is THAT?!" Applejack was the first to speak...she had to break the silence somehow.
"I don't know! I just found him there. I was feeding my squirrel friends and I heard someone screaming repeatedly. I thought somepony was in trouble! I kept running until I found him unconcious...I didn't know what else to do!"
Rarity looked at the new specimen's green jacket...she couldn't decide if it was hideous or if it was some-what decent..."Has it moved at all?"
"2 days ago he opened his eyes and just started crying...he didn't do anything but that and went back to sleeping-"
Applejack immidieatley interrupted "-TWO days?! How long has it been here?!"
"...a week, maybe." Fluttershy responded quietley. She felt bad about hiding it, but she wanted to make sure it was allright and friendly before she showed it to her friends. Rainbow Dash was furious at her response "It could be dangerous! We don't know what it is!"
Pinkie Pie joined in "It could EAT EVERYTHING. AGAIN!"
Dash sighed...Pinkie obviously wasn't taking this seriously "No, it won't eat everything."
"You don't know that! It could release a poison that kills us all!"
"For the love of Celestia, stop talking. Please."
Twilight was the only one staying quiet, she was too immersed in finding out more about this thing. So many questions went through her head. What does it eat? Can it talk? Is it sentient? What's with all of the clothes? But, she remembered that the safety of Equestria is more important than finding out this new creature's eating habits.
"I'll send a letter to the Princess. She has to know something about this."
Fluttershy was nervous. What if it is dangerous? It just looked like something that needed help. She finally spoke again, "I'm sorry...I didn't think it was that big of a deal..."
Twilight looked at her with a reassuring smile, "You didn't do anything wrong. Next time you see something like this tell us, ok?"
"Ok..."
Rainbow Dash looked at the new House Guest's wrist...something on it was blinking. "Hey! What's that on his arm?"
Pinkie started panicking "IT'S THE SIGNAL. WE'RE ALL DOOMED-"
Rainbow was irritated beyond belief "BE QUIET."
"Uh, should we touch it?" Applejack questioned, actually worried Pinkie might be right. Fluttershy wasn't really scared of it. It hadn't hurt her, it didn't seem bad. "I'll do it," she volunteered, praying to the Princesses it didn't trigger some awful reaction.
Without thinking, she pressed it, terrified of what might happen.
A smaller creature popped up, it was white, glowing, and transparent. It was shaped like the one on the couch, but much smaller.
"Hello. I am VI. an Artificial Intelligence from-...Excuse me, but I do not recognize you in any of the Paladin's Databanks. Accessing files relevant to the disocovery of new species."
Twilight just felt the biggest sense of happiness "Whoa! What are you? How can we understand you? New species! This is amazing!"
"You understand me?"
"Yes!"
"Acknowledged. How may I assist?"
Rarity tried to ask, but Twilight interrupted before she could get a word in "Can you tell me what this is? What you are? How you got here?"
VI was curious about their behavior, but did not know if he should answer everything..."You are seeing a member of the Super-Soldier Military Branch, simply dubbed as 'The Paladin Project.' I am VI, an Artificial Intelligence, I was partnered with Paladin Ashford in order to support his equipment and armor supplements, I basically assist in any way I can."
Twilight was overjoyed, each word the small, transparent man spoke generated endless questions! There was no way she could ask everything, but she'd try as hard as possible. She began her next question "The Paladin Project, what is-"
Fluttershy decided to butt in, "What's wrong with him? Why won't he wake up?"
VI shooked his head..."Paladin Ashford has experienced severe amount of emotional trauma. 7 days and 12 hours ago, he led a personal mission with Paladin Washington and Holy Knight Ayala. During the mission...he lost someone very dear to him. He was still getting used to our partnership...and there is no telling how the cross between realms affected him. I will try to awake him as soon as possible."
He dissapeared. They waited for hours, but no sign of the human waking up anytime soon. Everypony left, but Fluttershy just kept waiting. She decided to go to bed. She said goodnight to all of her animal friends and settled down in her bed. 2 hours past and she heard rattling coming from the living room. She was excited and terrified at the same time.
She was greeted with the strange being about to leave. "Wait! Don't go!" He stopped and took his hands off the door, keeping his back turned to her. The young man just waited in silence until the shy pegasus spoke again "Are you feeling allright, Paladin?" she asked, thinking it was his name.
"...I'm fine." his voice was that expected of someone only 19 years old. It was average. Nothing unusual about it. She wanted to make friends, and could tell something was wrong with him. "You can stay here if you like. I've been taking really good care of you!"
"No, thanks. I have to go somewhere." he said coldly and objectively. He was still hurt, just from the way he held himself, she had to get him to stay. He could die if she didn't! "Please! Whoever or whatever you're looking for won't do you any good if you're still hurt! Just stay the night."
VI became visible, seeing as how Fluttershy was right, "She is correct, Paladin Ashford. If Elizabeth is in trouble, then you are in no condition to help her. You would be useless."
He thought for a moment...three, actually until he realized his computer friend and the quiet voice behind him was right.
"Fine. I'll stay for the night. But the second the sun comes up, I'm searching for my little sister." He shut the door slowly, head still lowered.
Fluttershy was pretty happy to hear this news. She's never lost a patient yet! "Oh, good! My name is Fluttershy. I already know yours, Paladin."
"What? 'Fluttershy'? What kind of name is that-" he turned around and didn't see a human girl behind him, who he expected..he saw a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and teal eyes.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?" He screamed, horrified, shocked, confused, just the normal reaction you'd have when you see a bright yellow pegasus standing behind you.
VI appeared before him, he's been analyzing Fluttershy's every moves and was hoping to calm the confused boy.
"Paladin Ashford...allow us to explain."
**Well, what did you think? Sorry it was a long read and know it needs some work, but I'm hoping to make it into a series. I have a plot all lined out, basically. A HUMAN IN EQUESTRIA, wow. That's never been done before. /sarcasm. Something I've been wanting to post for a while, actually. I'm going to try my best to improve my storywriting. Like I said, it's my first time.**
