Chapter 3

"How could Humans be this violent?" Twilight asked in disbelief. I had decided not to have any secrets with them, as that would be the best way to gain their trust, and now Twilight was reading a book about World War Two. The others cringed as they saw the images from Iwo Jima, Normandy, and the concentration camps the Nazis had set up.

"It gets worse." I replied. I turned on my laptop and started up the web browser.

"What's that?" She asked.

"It's called a computer. It allows me to access information from anywhere on the planet." I said. I clicked on a news link, and a picture of a newscaster appeared.

"In other news,the Al Qaeda insurgents rigged a explosive in a military supply truck. When it detonated, it killed nine U.S. Soldiers and several civilians, including three children."

"Oh my Celestia!" Fluttershy gasped.

"How could they do something like that!? Those big meanies!" Pinkie yelled. Thankfully, her mane retained its bouncy shape. If it went flat again, I would run.

"There are some who oppose violence, like us, but many would rather fight it out than talking peacefully." Jackie said, rewrapping my head wound.

"Why would you continue living in this country?" Rarity asked.

"Because it only gets worse. The United States are the safest country in the world. And look at it." I groaned.

"If only you could come to Equestria with us..." Dash trailed off, glancing at Twilight.

"It's very peaceful there." Fluttershy said.

"Speaking of Equestria, have you found a way home yet?" I asked.

"I think if I recreate the spell that brought us here, I think we can get home. Why? Are you annoyed by us?" Twilight asked.

"Oh dear... I'm sorry." Fluttershy whispered.

"No, no. I was just thinking of taking you up on your offer." I smiled

"REALLY?!" Pinkie shouted. "THIS IS SO AWESOME!"

"Yeah, it is." I turned to Jackie. "Hey-" "Save it." She said. I suddenly began to worry.

"But-"

"I've already made up my mind." She smiled. "I'm coming too."

"Got everything?" I asked, setting my will down on the kitchen counter. The ponies were in the backyard getting ready.

"Yeah. Plus something special. I was saving it for your birthday, but..." Jackie answered. "Close Your eyes." I did so, and she led me outside.

"Okay... Now!" I opened my eyes to a...he

A crate? "Um... thanks?" I stuttered. "I... um... always wanted a crate?" She laughed and playfully slapped my chest.

"It's what is in the crate. You'll get to use it when we get to Equestria." Jackie smirked.

"Alright. You win." I sighed. We lugged the crate to the backyard, and Twilight had us all stand in a circle.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked worriedly.

"We wouldn't pass this up unless the other wanted to stay." Jackie said, speaking my mind as well.

"We can have a welcome to our world party!" Pinkie screamed, and Dash rolled her eyes.

"That sounds like a mighty fine idea." Applejack nodded.

"Hold on to your tails, everypony!" Twilight warned as her horn began to glow, and a vortex of wind surrounded us.

I woke up to the sight of the interior of a tree.

Twilight's tree.

As I sat up, I saw the others still unconcious, and the crate in the corner.

"Twilight? Is that you?" A voice asked as it came down the stairs. It was Spike, Twilight's baby dragon assistant. He stopped when he saw me, then saw the ponies. He then ran back up stairs, and began to shout.

Seconds later, he and three fillies charged down the stairs waving pots and pans.

"Die, foul beast!" The dragon cried. The four reached me, and began to pummel my legs. Of course, it didn't hurt. They continued until Twilight woke up. She saw me, and I just shrugged.

"Spike!" She shouted over the banging of kitchen implements.

"Twilight!" He dropped his 'weapon' to hug her. As the others woke up, the fillies followed suit. I knew that Applejack might still be a bit dizzy, so I moved to help her up.

"Stay back!" The filly I recognized as Applebloom screamed.

"Applebloom! He's a friend!" Applejack scolded.

"But he attacked Spike!" The yellow filly protested.

"Spike?" Twilight groaned.

"Well... I may have over reacted a teensy tiny bit." The purple dragon rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Spike..." Twilight prompted. Spike sighed and walked over to me.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled. I smiled, thinking of a way to get back at him.

You see, I was a gamer. But the only game I let the ponies play that I own, was Dead Island. Fluttershy was a bit startled at the blood, but I explained that the Zombies were evil, so she calmed down. I had already used this trick on the Mane 6, so I did't have to worry about them.

I opened my mouth as if the respond, then I began coughing horribly. I stumbled over to the couched, then collasped behind it. Then I slowly stood up, my eyes unfocused, and unmoving, aside from the occasional twitch.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetiebelle, and Spike slowly approached me.

"Um.. are you okay?" Scootaloo asked.

I spun around, turned my face towards the ceiling, and let out an inhuman howl. I began to run towards the four kids, causing them to scream in terror. I collasped again, this time fron laughter, and the Mane 6, and Jackie, were in tears, laughing louder than I have ever heard someone laugh.

"That was terrifying!" Spike shouted angrily.

"You can blame Dead Island." I replied.

"... What?" He asked.

"I have fought zombies, and I was imitating one." I lied.

"Zombie?! Where?!" Spike panicked, and hid behind Sweetiebelle, who face-hoofed.

"That was funnier when it happened to somepony else!" Rainbow Dash laughed.

"T-that wasn't funny!" Sweetiebelle stated. That only caused us to laugh harder.

"I think I'll like it here." I sighed happily.
