Chapter 2: A promise made
Twilight, along with Dash and Pinkie Pie, lead Mr. Cain through Ponyville many ponies gawked curiously at the strange new creature before them.
"What is that," Twilight heard one pony say.
"What is it doing here?" another said.
Rainbow Dash flew close to Twilight and whispered, "You know it might of been a better idea if we had took him around Ponyville instead of threw it."
"Gee...You think!" Twilight said as she walked through the crowd of curious ponies."at this rate we will never get there," she yelled out in frustration.
"Are we headed to your Home?" Mr. Cain asked.
"Yes, I need Spike to write a letter to the princess, now please do be quite," she said not even turning to look at him.
"Ok," he replies.
Twilight continued to move through the ponies yet they're numbers grew and were starting to get in her way,"Will somepony please get me through this crowd," she yelled as several ponies pushed up on her.
Suddenly she felt something grab her from behind, when she turned around to she who had grabbed her all she could see was streaking blurs. Everything around her was blurred and moved by at fast speeds, she finally realized that it wasn't the objects moving past her, it was her moving past the objects. To her it seemed as soon as it started it stopped, she looked up and saw her house she then looked behind her and saw Pinkie and Dash looking as confused as she was. She looked over to Mr. Cain who had a smile on his face.
"What did you do?" Twilight asked.
"I did what you asked, well technically you asked somepony too do so ,and really I'm not a pony but, metaphorically thats just a technicality," he said to her.
"O my gosh, I have never gone that fast before, you have got to teach me to move that fast." Dash squelled as she flew infront of Mr. Cain,"I mean it was amazing and I know for a fact that I could impress the WonderBolts with that, so please please please teach me."
Mr. Cain looked at her for a second finally replying he spoke,"Sure, I will teach you." This caused Rainbow Dash to bound and yell with extreme glee.
"Oh thank you ,thank you ,thank you," she said to him.
"We dont have time for this," Twilight said walking away,"come inside, I need to write a letter to Princess Celestia."
Twilight opened her door and walked in followed by the others.
"SPIKE!" she yelled,"Take a letter."
Spike obediently jumped out of a pile of books and ran over and grabbed his writing materials.
"Dear Princess Celestia, I write to you with an urgent matter, whilst my friend FlutterShy was out looking for animals she stumbled upon a creature. Not knowing what the creature was or if it was in pain she tried to assist it but when the creature woke up and spoke to her she screamed out of terror and tried to run away but in turn only blacked out for an unknown reason. Being at her cottage during this event my friends and myself heard her scream, when we started a search she appeared unconscious in front of her cottage. After the paramedics checked up on her and left she awoke and explained to us what had happened and we had found the creature was with us at her cottage. The creature claims that he did not touch her and is here to help but I am very suspicious of him. I would like to know what you would have me do. Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle."
As Spike finished writing the letter he rolled it up and sent it off saying," So Twilight where is this creature now?"
"Behind you,"She said.
Spike heard steps behind him so he turned around to see the creature dropping his mouth in process,"W-what are you?" he asked.
"My name is Mr. Cain and im a human," Mr. Cain said.
"What is a human?" Spike asked.
"Why he is a human silly,"Pinke Pie said as she hopped over near Spike,"Mr. Cain I have a question, can you pretty please come over to my house around eight tonight? I have a surprise for you." pinkie implored with an expression that rivaled puppy dogs.
"Sure," he replied nonchalantly, "I will be there."
"Hey, what about helping me?" Rainbow Dash implored.
"I will help you too, how about tomorrow at three in the afternoon?" Mr. Cain questioned.
"Thats fine," she replied.
"Ok, Pinkie ,Dash I need to do some research so unless you want to help I am going to ask you to leave me alone for a while," Twilight said.
"Okie Doki Loki," Pinkie said," Remember eight, my house, big surprise." Pinke Pie said to Mr. Cain as she bounced out the door.
"And remember tomorrow at three," Rainbow Dash said as she left," I can see me with the WonderBolts already."
"Spike, I need you to find me every book on humans we have," Twilight said.
"Okay i'm on it," He said as he dove into the books."
Twilight started to look through her books using her magic to check one after the other.
"Im going to go outside," Mr. Cain said, "if you need me just call."
He started to walk towards the door when Owlowiscious flew down and landed on an edge neer him.
"WHO," he said.
Mr. Cain looked over to the owl.
"WHO."
He smiled and said,"Its not 'who' its 'whom'," and continuing he walked out the door.
Owlowiscious looked at him and cocked his head saying "Whom?"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Cain was standing on top of a hill watching the equestrian sun go down and hiding the fact that he knew three little fillies were watching him close by.
"What do ya think it is?" AppleBloom said as she and her two friends watched Mr. Cain from behind a small bush.
"I dont know I have never seen anything like it before," SweetieBelle said.
"I wonder if it's dangerous?" Scootaloo said as she peeked through a hole in the bush.
"I heard mah sister say FlutterShy got hurt and some'n about a strange new creature," AppleBloom said as they looked at each other.
"Do you think thats the creature?" Scootaloo asked.
"I has to be just look at it," SweetieBelle said.
But, when they went to look at Mr. Cain again they saw that he was gone.
"Awww, its gone," Scootaloo said a bit frustrated.
"It was just there, where did it go?" SweetieBelle asked.
"What are we looking for?" a voice said.
"We're lookin fer this strange creature," AppleBloom said.
"Really what does it look like?" the voice asked.
"It stands on two legs and has very little fur, its hard to miss," SweetieBelle said.
"Oh I have seen him," the voice said.
"Really where?" Scootaloo said turning around.
"Right here," Mr. Cain said as she finished completely turning around.
This caused AppleBloom and SweetieBelle to turn around gasping when they saw Mr. Cain and not knowing what to do.
"Hello, my name is Mr. Cain, how are you AppleBloom, Scootaloo, and SweetieBelle?"
"Um we are good," Scootaloo said a bit edgy.
"How did you know are names?" SweetieBelle inquired.
"I have my ways but anyways what are y'all doing out here?" Mr. Cain asked.
"We're tryin to earn our cutie marks," AppleBloom proclaimed.
"Oh really, any luck?" Mr. Cain asked.
"No," all three of them said in unison dropping they're heads.
"That stinks," he said looking away.
"Ya, hey will you tell us how you got your cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked moving closer to Mr. Cain.
"Me? well you see I dont have a cutie mark," Mr. Cain said rubbing his chin.
"WHAT? No cutie mark," AppleBloom said.
"None." he said.
"Then how do you know what your special talent is?" SweetieBelle asked.
"I already know what it is," he replied.
"What is it?" Sweetie Bell asked.
"Helping."
"Helping?" they all three repeated confused.
"Thats right," he said standing up," and I think I know of a way to help all of you."
"Really?" AppleBloom said.
"Yep, but first you all need to go home, it is getting late," Mr. Cain said.
"Aww but I wanna stay out more," AppleBloom said.
"No arguing, trust me this is what you must do," Mr. Cain ordered," so go run along and go home."
They all turned to leave when Mr. Cain said, "Scootaloo can you come here for a second?"
"What is it?" she asked.
"Do you know how to fly?" He asked her.
This shocked her a bit,"Um no I dont," she said looking down at the ground.
"How would you like to learn?" He asked her.
"I would love to learn," she said looking up.
"Okay, meet me her at three in the afternoon tomorrow and I will teach you how to fly," he told her.
"Really," she said,"you can do that?"
"Would I be telling you to come if I couldn't? I promise you'll be flying by tomorrow night," he said to her.
"O thank you," She said as she jumped up and hugged him.
"Dont mention it, thats why i'm here," he said.
Scootaloo then turned and ran down the hill to catch up with AppleBloom and SweetieBelle.
He smiled and turned to watch the moon rise up in the sky but his smile went away soon because he sensed a new portal trying to be ripped opened and this one was not of his making. He sighed and turned and started walking towards Pinkie Pie's loft at sugarcube corner, hoping that whoever is trying to open a new portal fails and dosen't find their way to Ponyville.
