I woke up groggy from being up late I had started to do some work on a gaming world for the next time I played D&D and had fallen asleep pretty late. I was unlucky in the fact that I was in my living room which I had removed blinds from. Meaning the sun was shining right in my face and telling me to wake up. I slowly dragged my feet to the kitchen and started to make some coffee and chai tea. I let the stuff start and grabbed something to eat real hastily before pouring my tea and calling upstairs.

"Hey Tristin and Valentine get up now I got to speak with you two." I yelled as I tried to wake up I started to eat my breakfast and waited for them to come down.

After a few moments they came down and John spoke first. "Hey what is it I was still asleep and planned on sleeping for a while." His mane was wild and sticking up as high as it could.

Tristin followed with that up with. "Yeah and I got worn out by dash yesterday that damn training is brutal." He said as he stretched and then there was a loud pop which caused him to shiver in both relief and a little pain.

"Well I made plans for us and there is no getting out of it also I am going to introduce you guys to two others that are in the same boat as us…" I said as I finished my meal and poured another cup of my tea "… and I am paying so there is no reason for you guys to refuse not that you could either way." I continued smugly as I talked.

They looked at me confused and then asked at the same time "Why should we go I already made plans?" The awkward coincidence made them look at each other and for a short time mimic each other like a mirror.

"Hey they probably haven't met any other bronies and I think we need to have a little group especially if we are going to survive in this world after all this world does have more things dangerous then our world every had." I took a sip of my drink and floated them a glass of coffee since they hadn't gotten one yet.

"True Discord and Nightmare Moon aside there are still all sorts of dangers like manitcores." John pointed out as he took a sip of his coffee. He went over to the table and sat down.

"Then why aren't we out there making it safe for everyone." Tristin asked as he followed John's lead.

"First you mean everypony remember we have to integrate ourselves with the locals to stay under the radar just in case. Second we are not making it safe because unlike our world problem arise then disappear there is no constant threat it is dealt with and solved usually soon after it arises." I finished my drink and brought over a notepad and quill and started to write a note to Vinyl letting her know we were going to go out.

John and my brother took their time and made themselves breakfast and finished off the pot of coffee going to get ready. I sniffed myself and let out a silent yuck before heading to the shower I stepped in and started to run the water trying to find the perfect temperature. I spent a while enjoying the shower and after a while finished it I took out a towel and dried off my mane and head before brushing my lengthened hair it as almost time to get it trimmed.

I exited the shower and then heard it start up again. I went outside to air dry and get Ratchet before we headed out to get Shepard. I really should have let him give me his pony name would make finding him a little easier. I guess I could always ask Luna if she could help me in finding him.

I reached Ratchet's house after a little walk I picked him up from his place and we started to have idle conversation as we walked back to my place. When we got there it looked like Vinyl was still asleep. I quickly motioned for John and Tristin to follow me outside quick they asked what when they got near me and I replied with a hasty "Look No one but us knows about this and I would prefer to avoid getting caught on our way out so." My horn started to glow as I teleported us to Canterlot "Let's not let anyone know where we are now you guys go find a bar or club or something fun to do then meet me by the royal palace I got a quick errand to run and then I will meet you there." I ran off before any of them could say anything.

After a few moments I reached the large palace doors and met the guards at the entrance. They didn't move and reminded me of those British guards that are not supposed to move like ever. I tried to walk through the doors and they blocked me with their wings. The first one then spoke. "State you name and business at the palace." I shrunk back and thought how to get through this.

"I am from Ponyville and I came to speak with the princesses about a few private matters."I didn't exactly lie since I needed to talk to Luna to get the information I needed but I guess I could spice it up a bit and say I needed to talk to the other one as well.

The guards' eyes grew large and they talked to each other for a moment before one of them left to enter the palace at a sprint. "I have to ask that you wait here until the princesses agree to meet with you. However you may be permitted to wait inside with me until that time." He lead me inside the door and then pointed to an area for me to wait I sat down and waited for the response.

I am not sure how much time passed since there was no clock anywhere in the hallways within view and I was impatient enough without the silence. I waited and waited for what seemed to me like hours until I heard the sound of multiple hooves coming my way. I stood up and looked to see the guard from earlier leading the way followed by both princesses. I may not be one for size intimidation but my knowledge of Celestia was more than enough to keep me on the defensive.

"And what pray tell is it that you know about me." I heard Celestia speak which startled me omnipotent and a mind reader should have guessed. She stood high above me in stature almost tripling me in size but she was about double the size of her guard who was larger then me.

"Forgive me your majesty but before that question is answered I need to speak with both of you in a more private vicinity because any information I divulge could be used against me if anyone gets the chance to hear it besides the two of you." I said as I bowed. If Celestia didn't know what I was before hand she would after this.

She nodded and had me follow her as the two guards from before went back outside and one of both Luna's and Celestia's personal guard came to escort us. I felt nervous as they were both very large and were walking next to me like I was a prisoner it was to say the least unsettling. We stopped at two large doors which opened to reveal the princesses bed chambers they both walked in and then I was shoved in by the guards.

Once the doors closed and we were alone Luna came over and squeezed the life out of me in a hug. "Zantorn how are you and why did you come here?" She asked after she set me down. Celestia coughed and Luna's head shrunk and she then backed off.

"Please tell now why did you want an audience with us Zantorn was it." Her attitude was high and mighty but had subtle hints of how she acted during the show. So I wasn't sure if I should be afraid or what.

"Very well your majesty…" I started as I cleared my voice and stretched. "I am as you can probably tell not a native to this land I am a human from earth that was given a chance at life and chose to come to live in this land of yours. Now you no doubt have also noticed others like me within your land after all you assigned one to go with your sister recently. The reason for my audience is because I came to find this stallion and ask why you have not done anything to warn or keep any of us from doing wrong in your land." I finished my impromptu speech and looked back at her she was unfazed Luna however had dropped her jaw to the floor.

"Yes you are right in the fact that I have noticed you and other from your world have appeared here but none of you have needed any intervention on my part. Also as far as the guard that went with my sister hasn't seen fit to tell me or my sister his true nature so I set it up so he would meet another one of you to help him open up to use more." Celestia said to answer my questions.

I wasn't sure if I should be stunned or offended because I was used without even knowing it. "I see so do use all your subjects like you used me or is it because I am not one of them that you thought you could?" I asked deciding on being offended.

Luna stepped up to me and then quickly slapped me before Celestia could say anything. Tears had formed in her eyes. "How dare you speak to my sister like that I saw you as a friend and now you accuse her of using you for a personal gain?" Her voice trembled as she let the tears flow down her cheek and hit the ground. The room fell silent in response.

"I suppose I had that coming but I had to know. You see in my world there is debate about her but most of it is pointless banter or made up for other peoples enjoyment. However there are times both in those and in what was a show that makes me wonder on her true nature how benevolent is she. I have seen all types from a sexual deviant, to a tyrant that rules with an iron hoof, to a kind caring leader but there is no certainty so I ask not as a subject or a pony but as a being what is your true nature Celestia." I posed my question and prepared for another slap from Luna.

I was wrong however as this time it came from Celestia herself and sent me across the room. "You have some nerve to question someone obviously more in control than you and demanding answers. I will however answer your question my subject. I am a kind ruler but I use my force when required. Now finish your business you have in the castle than leave please you are not welcome in our home for a while now." Celestia then left the room before anything else could be said.

I staggered to get up from my short flight from the princess. I winced in pain as I stood up I must have injured myself on my landing. I watched as Luna came up to me. "I am agreeing with my sister here finish your business than leave I need time to think things over." Luna looked distressed when she said it.

"I need to speak with the guard from the other night please find him and send him to the entrance of the palace. I am going to take my leave and wait for him before I cause myself or anypony else any distress." I trotted out of the room and headed down the hallway. Halfway down the hallway though I collapsed in pain. My front hoof was sprained I suppose it was my punishment for overstepping my bounds. After a few moments I got up and got out of the palace and waited for both my friends and the guard.
