It was a quiet summer morning, and all throughout Ponyville, all the ponies were doing their own things, but who we are going to see, is the Queen of this mystical land of Equestria, Princess Celestia. Her rule has gone on for as long as Equestria stood, and today, she is beginning to wonder what she could do to liven things up in the quiet Ponyville. What she REALLY wanted was a new friend for the Mane 6, including spike.

This particular friend needed to be someone who could learn from them, as much as they could be taught by him the meaning of friendship. Having one more human wouldn't hurt... and she knew the perfect one. Looking into a scroll she picked up using her magic, she peered inside and saw a man who looked about 20 years old and with an air of sadness around him.

The man was wearing some blue Jeans that had a little flare at the bottom, with his dark brown combat boots. The man had a white t-shirt on, and on top of that he wore an unfastened button-up shirt blowing in the wind, the length of which reached towards a bit after the bottom of his ass. Pictures of a red flame on the edges of it with a big Chinese dragon on the back adorned the shirt and giving it a kind of fighting motif. He wore some black fingerless gloves, which had some metal slates on the knuckles in case he broke into a fight with someone. His hair was a short darkish brown which was spiked at the end of his forehead. He had a patch of hair on his chin that was a bit orange. Altogether, he looked like an individual who could benefit from a little more friendship.

"Ah ha, this one shall work. A boy and his dog." She smiled and then closed her eyes and chanted some strange words.

Soon, over at the man's home, we find him siting with nowhere to go. His black Labrador, Gypsy, sat at his side. The man looked at her and smiled.

"I'm so glad I have you, Gypsy. Such a good girl." He said as he started patting the dog's soft head. The dog had a completely black coat of fur, and was about 7 human years old, but still played like a puppy would. She carried around with her a Chew toy by the shape of a candy cane. The only thing she wore was a red collar, with some identification on a little slate of metal. Both of them lived in a small apartment, but the place was a dump... and the sad part was, the man couldn't hold up a job, mainly because he wasn't too keen on the people he was working for. He sat there in his beat-up recliner and sighed.

"Looks like we're eating nothing today, Gypsy, I don't have any food, girl..." He frowned as the pup whined a little, but nuzzled his leg, to reassure him she was fine. "I know, as long as we're together, we'll conquer anything, huh girl? Even hunger."

He smiled and then sighed a bit as he got up from his chair as he looked at the city of New york. "What a city...to think we came here to find a good job, all for naught..." Gypsy whined a bit with her chew toy, knowing playing with her would cheer him right up. He looked down at her and chuckled.

"OK girl, OK. Here fetch!"

He chucked it across the room as the dog grabbed it with her teeth gently and skipped over to him. He took the toy and raised it over him. "Want it? Hm? SIT." He said boldly. The dog obeyed him almost like the order was programmed into her mind, as she sat. He smiled and spoke again.

"Paw."

The dog then lifted her right front leg and put it into her friend's reached out hand.

"Good! now lie down for me."

The dog did just what she was told. her tail wagging a million miles an hour.

"Now...Say please."

The dog then sat back up, looking at the toy. "Come on, girl!" He said smiling as the dog barked. "Good girl!" He said as he threw it.

His green eyes looked at her and then towards the window, it was turning to night. "Looks like we'll have to do somethin' for food tomorrow." He said towards his companion. As soon as he was about to lie down, he felt a sudden warm air in the room.

"Hm?" he mumbled as he looked around. "mhm..." He said as he was lying down. Just then, a white light filled the room, and Gypsy stood up in alarm before she looked over with her brown eyes at the man who got up quickly. "The heck...?" He asked as he noticed that a mysterious force dragged him inside. As hard as he might, he was no match for it's pull. the dog jumped right in after her master...

What was this white light?

Where was he being dragged to?

He could only imagine...
