Chapter 4: Unexpected Explanations and Examinations

I woke up to a great amount of back pain. Looks like my back couldn't handle that tackle that I received from Rainbow Dash. Then it hit me, I was floating in a weird purple aura. Twilight's horn seems to have some of that same aura, huh. Maybe these ponies aren't part of my imagination. One of them noticed I had waken up. It was Applejack.

"Finally awake,stranger?"she asked?

"Yeah, how long have I been floating and where are you ponies taking me?" I questioned.

"Well, you've been out for about an hour, and we are headin' back to Fluttershy's right now,"she answered avoiding eye contact with me.

"Oh okay..." I said.

After a while I really didn't say anything and just waited for a bit. Eventually we did get there. Fluttershy was the first through the door, and then the rest , and I was last just floating inside. Once I barely made it throught the doorway I saw that the party was already over and realized that Twilight let go of her magic and I crashed onto the floor. I also saw an even bigger pony, bigger than these ones. She had a pink, green, and blue mane and tail that just to seemed to flow in the mysterious breeze that was no where to be found. She also had a crown and a necklace. She had a picture of a sun on her flank. I also noticed she had both a unicorn horn and wings, much larger than these smaller ponies.

Once I got up I noticed these smaller ponies were bowing towards her. I was confused but since I didn't really know what to do up to that point I decided to bow too.

"Is this the one you were talking about in the letter, Twilight?,"she asked, speaking in a very calm voice.

"Yes, Princess Celestia,"she replied.

"Well, young man, you have a lot of explaining to do."

"Why, what did I do?" I asked quizzically.

"You've trespassed into our world, and you've been very rude to these heroes," she stated.

"Heroes?"

"Yes, they've saved this land of Equestria twice, once defeating my younger sister who was corrupted and turned into Nightmare moon, and another time by defeating the bringer of chaos, Discord."

"So, they...are heroes?" I asked.

"Yes they are, and you've been very disrespectful and used the foul language that is forbidden in this land."

'Well fuck...' I thought.

"I believe you owe them an apology," she reminded.

"Oh um...right, hey listen you guys, I'm really sorry for what I did earlier it's just that... I had a lot of things in my mind during the time and I thought that you were spies... and that I was going to be monitored in some sick US government experiment. Anyways if you don't want to be my friends or if it's to late to say sorry, I understand."

They seemed to be dumbfounded from what I just said. Nevertheless they walked up to me and brought me into a giant group hug.

"It's okay,"the mane six said in unison.

"Well, it's good to see that you are all friends again, but my little ponies, I must go attend conference at the castle."Celestia said before flying away.

"Even though we seem to all be friends now, I believe I owe you all an explanation." I said.

They all seem to be listening intently.

"Okay, well... where do I start? Okay, my planet, Earth, is dominated by my species, humans. To me most humans are spoiled, they have anything that they want, except for me and my best friend...Alice. We lived in a tree together for 5 years and the only way for us to survive was to steal from the rich. I was a criminal on Earth.

These ponies seemed to become a little bit more frightened of me but I continued on wi my story.

"The last time I saw Alice was when she and I planned a robbery at a heavily guarded museum to steal a precious gem that was there. About a minute after we entered the building, we realized it was a trap, that was the last time I've seen Alice alive. As for me... I was given a death sentence at the hands of cruel officers that made their own rules on the job. I was thrown out a window and ended up here." I explained.

These ponies were on the verge of tears seeing how sad I was. Just realizing it, I was crying too. We all embraced each other on another group hug. After about one minute we all let go from the hug.

"Well everypony, ah' gotta go back to mah' farm before Big Mac gets upset."Applejack said before she left the room.

"Oh yes, I'm afraid I have to leave as well, I'm a bit behind on a very important order for Sapphire Shores, ta-ta darlings!" Rarity said before trotting of out of Fluttershy's cottage.

"Oh my gosh, I'm behind on my training!" Rainbow Dash said as she dashed off {pun intended)

"I have to go and help Mr. & Mrs. Cake with baking back at Sugar Cube Corner,"Pinkie Pie said as she bounced away.

All that's left in here was Fluttershy, Twilight, and myself. It was pretty silent until I broke the quietness.

"Well... what should we do now?" I asked.

"Well...um... I should probably start feeding my animals."Fluttershy said.

"Well I should get back to my library,"Twilight said, "You should come too! I would love to know more about you Michael!"

"Okay Twilight, lead the way!"

We traveled out of Fluttershy's cottage and went through a path leading to a town. I saw a sign saying 'Ponyville 1 mile away'.

"Hmm this must be the town Fluttershy told me about when I first came here." I said.

We kept walking for a bit 'til we finally reached the town. I got so many stares from the ponies that were at the party. Some shaking in fear. Some running into their house grabbing their little fillies and dragging them in. One pony who had a lily flower in her yellow mane and had a pinkish coat yelled "The Horror! The Horror!", and fainted.

"What is she acting on all about, I haven't done anything, have I?" I asked.

"She was probably at the party when you yelled, you see, she is over dramatic and faints all the time when something happens, so you shouldn't worry," Twilight reassured.

"Well lets just hurry up to the library quick!" I said while walking around a big tree.

"Where are you going?" Twilight asked, "The library is over here!"

I looked around searching for the library, but then Twilight pointed to the big tree I walked around earlier and it turned out, the library was the tree. I just stood there looking in awe.

"Well, aren't you coming?"she asked.

"Oh...um yeah," I said looking embarrassed.

When I walked inside I was very shocked at what I saw. The whole room was filled with tons and tons of books.

"Are you, okay?" she asked.

"Oh,um yeah just wondering how this place looks bigger on the inside."

"Oh, it's simple, it's just that when this building was built, the carpenters used a little bit of magic on this building so it wouldn't take up much room in the town,"she explained.

"Okay, so you said you wanted to know more about my world right," I asked.

"Yes, that's correct."

"Okay just ask me a question that pops into your mind and I'll answer as best as I can."

"Um, what does the human diet consist of?"she asked.

"Well, most of my world is consisting of omnivores, but there are some of my kind that are vegetarians."

She spoke in a scared tone holding her clip board in front of her face, "What do you mainly eat?"

"Well, I eat mainly fruit and small animals that are in my tree," I said noticing she was afraid, "But I would never eat any of you ponies so don't be afraid."

She seemed to calm down a bit.

"Okay next question, do you wear clothes on a daily basis, since I can see you don't have any fur on you for the exception of your head."

"Yes, most of my kind wear clothes to shield us from the elements," I said.

"Elements? What kind of elements,"she asked.

"Well, these elements that I'm talking about are like weather and temperature, even if it gets to hot we don't strip ourselves of our clothes, if it's hot we wear light clothes, if it's cold we wear bulky clothes."

"Interesting, do you humans have any way to use magic."

"No, humans can't use magic, instead we use technology and science," I said.

"Oh really? Care to explain more?"she asked.

"Well, technology is a thing we use to make tasks on Earth easier, let's say transportation for example, humans made cars, a machine that moves really fast, to make human transportation easier. Though since I was poor, I could never afford to buy technology."

Twilight was soaking in all the details she was just learning about.

"What about 'science' what is that?"she asked.

"Well, science is basically around the same thing as technology,but science just explains why things happen, like why a stove or oven turns on and how it works." I explained.

About two hours later of questions later, Michael was ready to call it a day.

"Okay Michael, just one more question." Twilight said.

"Fine, just hurry up I'm tired, if this is what school is like I'm glad I never went."I said.

"Okay, how is the weather and time of day controlled on Earth?"

"Oh, that's easy, it just moves by itself, no one controls it,"I explained.

"What, really? Here in Equestria, the princesses change the time of day, and the pegasi control the weather here,"Twilight said.

"Well since we're done here how about we get some shut eye," I said.

"Oh, okay I forgot all about that,"she said blushing.

"It's okay, I'll just find a tree to sleep in, I'm used to it so don't worry about it."

"Oh, then good night,"she said.

"Good night," I replied while heading out the door.

Once I was outside I heard the door shut. I just started walking out of town thinking about what happened last night. I had one hell of a day. Then I bumped into something.

"Ow," said the thing I bumped into.

I got up shaking my head. Once I looked for the thing I bumped into I saw a light mint green unicorn.

She had a lyre on her rump.

"Oh, I'm so sorry,"I said seeing her flinching, probably from being afraid of me.

"I-it's okay, just don't hurt me,"she said in a scared tone.

"Why would I hurt you, you didn't do anything wrong."

She opened her eyes. Revealing brownish yellow eyes.

"I'm Michael."

"I'm Lyra."

"Do you need someone to walk you home," I asked.

"Su-sure," she said blushing.

"Lead the way, my lady," I said trying to be a gentleman since I didn't want to be mean to anymore of these ponies just to avoid what happened before.

After that we just walked to her house into the night.
