Me: Hey! Another chapter!

Wolverine: Bub, you'd better get working faster on this.

Me: You ain't gotta be anywhere. *I back up as his claws are shoved into my face*

Wolverine: That don't mean I gotta enjoy bein' here.

Me: Alright. Is there anything I can do to make your visit more enjoyable? I can get you literally anything.

Wolverine: Get me some beer. And something to tear up.

Me: Well, get the beer out of the fridge in the kitchen and the training room can be torn up as much as you like. Just make sure you're here for all the intros and outros. I'll also make sure to pay you for your services here.

Wolverine: Alright, Bub. Everyone enjoy. If it's good.

The group was on the train, heading towards Ponyville. Avispa was wathing the scenery go by, barely paying any attention to what was going on. Though, there wasn't much going on, as the only ponies in the car were DB, Pinkie, and Twilight. The others were in different cars, along with most other ponies on the train. Avispa turned her head to DB, who had nudged her side. "What's wrong?"

"Well, let's see. I'm a prisnoer in a foreign land where most of the inhabitants hate my kind because of an invasion we made against your capital."

"Look on the bright side. You aren't in a dungeon, you are alive, and you're going to be living in one of the most tolerant towns in all of Equestria." Avispa rolled her eyes and turned back to the window. "Come on. Don't be like that. You'll enjoy it."

"Like I'd enjoy a hole in the head."

"But..you already have some holes in your head." At Avispa's questioning look, DB opened his mouth to respond, but Pinkie beat him to it.

"Yep! You have a mouth, two ears and two nostrils! Five holes! Seven if you include your eye sockets."

DB nodded and said, "Yeah. What she said." Avispa rolled her eyes and turned back to the window.

later, Ponyville train station

After the train pulled to a stop, ponies disembarked and others got on. When DB and Avispa exited, ponies began screaming and running. The train station was deserted and the train was ready to leave quicker than ever before. And it did. "I thought you said this was more tolerant than other towns."

"It is. Other towns would begin trying to kill you and would never let you live there. The ponies here will. Let me show you around."

"I'm outta here."

"Ah gotta git back ta the farm. Ah'll see you later."

"I suppose I can walk with you until we get to Carousel Boutique."

DB shrugged. "Well, let's get started."

They then proceeded with the tour. As they walked past buildings, they would notice ponies closing windows and taking in welcome mats. DB turned Avispa's attention from that by pointing at different things. Even things as insignificant as a rock. And, that was how the next hour went by. They did lose Rarity at her Boutique. They ended the tour at Sugarcube Corner, which had its lights off.

"And this is Sugarcube Corner. As you can tell from the sign, its name, and its shape, it sells sweets." The group began walking towards the door.

"Uh..the lights are off."

DB shrugged. "So. This is where Pinkie works." Avispa just let it go after that.

Once she entered, she realized she was alone. "Just like any horror movie."

"SURPRISE!" Avispa had gotten into a defensive stance at the yell, but relaxed when she took in her surroundings. Several, now scared, ponies, a banner welcoming her, treats, streamers, and ballons.

"A...party?"

"Yep!" Avispa jumped at Pinkie apearring beside her. "I got it ready for you! I have a welcome party for everypony who is new to Ponyville! Were you surprised!? Huh? Were you?"

"Um..Yes. Ho-" She found a white hoof shoved in her mouth.

"Don't ask. Trust me." She nodded to DB. He then removed his hoof.

"Right. I think the ponies are also surprised at who this party is for."

"I know! Isn't it great!? Come on ponies! Let's PARTY!" Dance music came on, but no pony moved.

"Alright. You guys want to make this a hard party to start. You asked for it." DB smirked and leapt over some tables to a pony and forced them to begin dancing, then moved onto the next pony. He got help from Pinkie. After about ten minutes, everypony was partying and DB came back to Avispa. "Come on! Have some fun! It is your party!"

"I don't dance."

DB motioned to Twilight, who's dancing was cringe-worthy. "Twilight is dancing. Don't make me force you to begin dancing."

"I don't dance."

"Too bad." He then grabbed her and forced her into a dance. About ten minutes into that, she began to smile, and that led to her laughing.

five hours later

The party finally ended and DB was leading Avispa home. "I've never been to a party before. At least, not one for me."

"Well, you'll get used to parties. Pinkie throws many parties a week. You'll also have to let Pinkie know when your birthday is. And, if you don't know when your birthday is, don't ever say it out loud unless asked by Pinkie."

"Got it. I have to know, why did you keep me from asking how Pinkie got the party set up?"

DB smiled. "Because you do not question Pinkie. And here is my home." He motioned to his home. It was a plain, two-story, white house with a gray roof, matching him quite well. It was also a bit elevated, when compared to the houses next to his. He opened his door, obviously not having bothered to lock it before he left. "Let me give you the grand tour of the house. This is the living room." It was average sized, with a couch with its back to the stairs, a couple chairs on either side of the couch, a coffee table, a small table with a lamp on it and books were lining the wall. "Down that hallway there," he pointed to a doorway to the hall, "there is a closet on the left side, filled with camping stuff. On the right, the first door is the bathroom and the second is the laundry room." DB paused. "I'm not exactly sure why I have the laundry room, when I rarely wear clothes." He shook his head. "Anyways, at the end of the hall is my kitchen. It has layers of gunk. And stinks."

"Why don't you clean it?"

"Because, I'd have to spend half an hour after every meal cleaning it up. Even with simple things that shouldn't be that messy, such as salads." Before Avispa could question, DB said, "Let's go to the second floor." He then teleported both of them- and a chair- to the second floor. They were right beside a door. "This is the main bathroom. Bigger than the other, allowing it to have a bathtub in it. It's a bathtub/shower combo. Anyways." They walked away from it. They came to an open door, to a bedroom. "This is your room while you're here." They moved to a closed door. "This is another closet. It has extra pillows, extra blankets, and extra camping gear." They got to the end of the hall, where another closed door was at. "This is my room. Never enter here." DB's tone went from cheerful to serious. His expression was stone cold. "This is the only room that is always closed to everyone. Only one person had the guts to enter. They were a theif. They never stole anything ever again." Avispa backed up a little.

"Gotcha. Not gonna enter there."

DB nodded. His smile returned, though slightly forced. "Let's move to the basement." They walked back to the stairs, levitated the chair down to where it belonged, then went down the stairs, opened a door, and went down another set of steps. DB turned on a light, revealing a cement basement, with shelves of canned food, and some tools. "Not much here. At first glance." He smirked and walked to one of the shelves and pushed down on a can, revealing a keypad beside the shelves. He typed in a code, and the shelf opened, revealing a secret staircase. "Ladies first."

Avispa began walking down the steps and DB followed closely behind. When they got to the bottom, DB turned on the lights, and Avispa's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. There were video games lining the wall to their right. In the middle of the room was a giant training area. To the left was hundreds of weapons and a small closet that was closed. "Woah."

"My personal training area. haven't showed anypony else. And that closet isn't a normal closet. It is actually used for practicing spells. Open it up." Avispa did as she was told. Her jaw dropped again when she realized it was huge. "Magic can do wonders. Makes that a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside. And there are two more rooms to show you." Avispa followed DB to the other side of the room to a door. He opened it and the next room was bare. "This is a place for me to take inventory of my weapons and to spar with anypony that knows about it and wants to spar with me. One more room." He led her to the other side of that room, opened the door and turned on the light. Avispa was stunned with the number of weapons he had. "I'm able to use all of them effectively."

Avispa turned to him and asked, "How is all of this here without anypony knowing?"

DB chuckled and rubbed the back of hid head. "Well, it took a lot of work. And a few memory erasing spells. But, at least I can train in peace."

Avispa went and looked at all the weapons and asked, "Where did you get all these? How did you learn to use them?"

DB smirked and replied, "I've done a lot of travelling. Got weapons and training during the travels. Also, you eat meat, right?"

"Yes."

DB nodded. "Gonna have to order some."

Avispa looked at DB and asked, "You know how to cook meat?"

He shrugged. "I spent some time in Griffon country. Had to learn."

"You seem to have quite the background."

DB chuckled. "That's one way to put it. You wouldn't believe some of the stories I have."

"Mind telling some?"

"Another time. Now, before we head back up, I need to cast some spells." Avispa watched as DB closed his eyes and his horn lit up. A wave of magic pulsed out of his horn, followed by another. And another. Then, several quick waves pulsed out, until he was sweating. "Alright. Let's go." He turned off the lights with his magic, teleported them to right outside the entrance, closed it, then teleported to the living room. He collapsed on the couch.

"What were those spells you cast?"

DB took a few deep breaths before replying. "I cast one that lets me know if anypony enters the house. Then one for if anypony leaves the house. Then, the third was just a basic defense spell. Then, I set up several special shield spells. The only way to pass through them is to either have me open them or put a spell on the pony to pass through as they please. I'd just about bet the only other pony that knows of them are Twilight. So, she'd probably be able to put the spell on ponies to allow them to pass through." DB let out a yawn and then said, "I'm going to bed. You can go to bed whenever." He got up and walked up the stairs. "Night, Avispa."

"Good night." After he was gone, Avispa went to the Hive mind. "Mother. I have news. I am being forced to stay with a pony in Ponyville."

"We'll come and get you right away."

"No. He has put up several defense spells. It would be near impossible to get in here. Besides, I am in no condition to travel great distances. I believe it would be best for me to stay here for a while, for more than one reason. If you decide to have another invasion, you will already have one here in Ponyville. It would prove to be a valuable resource."

There was silence for a moment. "That is brilliant, my daughter. Make sure to keep track of everything you learn. I will let you know when we are ready for another attack."

"Of course, mother." After that, the conversation ended and Avispa flew up to her room. She laid down on her bed. "Ooo. Comfortable." Avispa's eyes slowly closed and she was soon asleep.

Me: And there's the chapter!

Wolverine: Review. I'm gonna go tear up the training room some more.
