Rarity followed Super Stallion, or rather "Alfred" (she didn't know which to think of him as), down the stairs. Super Stallion looked around Rarity's shop.

"Nice clothing you have here," he complimented.

"Why, thank you," she replied. "As I've said, feel free to come here if you need your cape repaired."

"I should have told you before; I think my cape is immune to damage, like me."

"You think?"

"Yeah… Even I don't completely understand myself."

As they walked outside, Super Stallion looked up in the sky.

"Well, I'm off to Twilight's library," he said. "See you later!"

"Goodbye then," Rarity replied. She almost felt tempted to give him a kiss on the cheek goodbye, but she felt even that might be going too fast.

"I'll come back whenever I need support."

"Please do."

And with that, Supper Stallion rushed into the air to Twilight Sparkle's library. He saw Twilight was studying. He felt like barging in through the window, but then he remembered his experiences in this world. The way he behaved wasn't as accepted back in his world. So instead, he flew down to the door and knocked on it.

"Urgh. Coming!" said Twilight. When she opened the door, she looked surprised to see Super Stallion.

"Oh. Hi Super Stallion. Back so soon?"

"I believe you wanted to see me again for more experiments," he replied.

"Yeah, but… I didn't expect you back until the next day."

"Yes, but there hasn't really been much to do. Can I come in? I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Oh, no. I was just finishing up another book. Come in."

Super Stallion walked in. He noticed lots of notes lying around and lots of open books.

"Are you sure I'm not interrupting anything?"

"Oh, yes. I'm sure?"

"Then what's all this?" he asked looking around.

"This? Oh. I was just studying and taking notes."

"They're notes on me. Aren't they?"

"Well… Yes. Anyway, now that you're here, I can take even more notes on you. Now let's see."

Twilight Sparkle pondered. She hadn't prepared any other experiments for Super Stallion to do. Suddenly, she came up with an idea. She magically took a lot of books off the shelves and organized them into neat stacks.

"OK. I want to see how powerful your breath is. See if you can blow all these books down."

Twilight Sparkle was starting to regret her own test. What if he crumpled up the pages? No sooner had she thought this, Super Stallion let out a mighty breath which made Twilight jump and the books all collapse. Super Stallion rushed to each one before they landed to make sure they were closed properly so the pages didn't crumple. Twilight was awestruck.

"Wow!" she exclaimed. "That was… pretty impressive!"

"Why thank you." Super Stallion replied.

"Let's see… Next we'll… Oh what the hay. I'll just get straight to asking you questions."

The word "questions" shocked Super Stallion slightly. What if Rarity was right? What if Twilight IS trying to find the source of his power?

"S-sure," said Super Stallion. "Fire away."

"Question 1: Where do you come from?"

"Manehattan," he lied. He couldn't say "Another world/universe" because he wanted to keep that secret, and if he said "Ponyville, that would raise further questions.

"Question 2: have you always had these powers of yours?"

He was starting to get in cold water now.

"Yes," he lied again.

"Question 3: What's the best way to describe your powers?"

"Um… Powerful!"

"Powerful? That's a very vague word. Is it magical? Divine? Part of your anatomy?"

"Um… I guess you could say magical."

"So you were born with magic powers?"

"Yes."

"Even though you're an earth pony?"

"Yes."

"And you were born with them? You didn't discover them through studying or discovering your special talent?"

"Um…" This had Super Stallion stumped. He had no idea how unicorn magic worked. His powers were given to him by a wizard, so in a sense they were magical, but probably not the same type of magic unicorns have. He eventually realized it was pointless trying to lie to Twilight Sparkle any more.

"Twilight, there's something I have to tell you."

And he told the same story he told Rarity. Twilight stared at him.

"So you're telling me that you're from another universe, and that the reason you don't want anypony in this universe to know is because you want to start a new life?" she asked.

"Yes," Super Stallion sighed.

"You have my word I won't tell anypony." She almost felt like doing a Pinkie Pie swear, but realized he wouldn't get it.

"And another thing," Super Stallion said.

"Yes?" said Twilight.

"Don't tell Rarity I told you."

"You told her too?"

"Yes. And I fear she would feel betrayed if she knew I told anypony else."

"You have my word on that too."

"Thank you, Twilight. I'll be going now. Goodbye."

And he flew out the window.
