The Train Ride to Ponyville had been uneventful, just the way Tom wanted it to be. Though, he kept a close eye on the Ponies. Coco had been very Generous for letting Tom stay in her Apartment for entire Week but that didn't mean he couldn't be Cautious with the others. Cole though seemed to trust them."Their not so Bad," Cole had said as Coco and Rarity talked about Fashion."And i doubt they could Hurt even me."
Tom had been looking at Rarity's Horn that was on her Head. It reminded him of the Zabrak Specie's in way. Coco Pommel had explained to him that their were three different Pony Tribes. Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns. She had explained two of them but not Unicorns. Tom wondered what the Seven Corellian Hell's that meant.
Finally, the Train stopped at what he assumed was Ponyville. For some reason, the Town reminded him of the many Towns in the Outer Rim during the Clone Wars. Town's that had been Destroyed by both Republic and Separatist Soldiers and Weapons.
"See ya' Rarity. I'm going to check in a Motel." Rarity nodded as Coco left. Rarity turned to Tom."Well Mr. Tom, i'm sure you're going to love it here in Ponyville. Everypony here is Friendly. And you'll be staying at Twilight's House for awhile. At least until you figure out a way to get back to you're Galaxy." Rarity said as she lead the way through Ponyville. Which will be soon. Tom thought and hoped.
As he passed through the Town, he saw Ponies of all the Tribes Coco had explained. Pegasi, Unicorn's and Earth Pon-"Another Human!" A Female Voice said. Suddenly, a Pink Pony with a Poofy Mane. Tom looked at her Cutie Mark, Coco had explained this to him though he was still confused about it, and saw Colorful Balloons on her Flank.
"And you're wearing Black Clothing? Does everyone in the Galaxy wear Black Clothing?" The Pink Pony asked. Tom pushed her aside. He had no Time to talk to this Kind of Alien. An Alien who already seemed to annoy him with just that kind of Voice."So, What do you think of Space?" The Pink Pony came into his Face again. Hasn't she ever heard of Personal Space? He thought, annoyed. He pushed her aside again and ignored Cole's Chuckle.
They then kept walking forward."Oh, i know! I'll throw you a 'Welcome to Ponyville' Party!" When Tom turned his Head around, she was gone."Pinkie Pie is a little Crazy...maybe even a Schizophrenic," He whispered that last Part."But she's Nice and very Funny and Happy and all that. She means well." Tom shook his Head. All Alien's were the Same. Evil.
Tom, not doing this very often since after the Clone Wars, showed Emotion. Surprise came across his Face as he looked at the Odd Tree."That's Princess Twilight's Castle," Rarity introduced."I know, it is Beautiful, isn't it?" Tom was suddenly reminded of the Plant's of Felucia. There many Colors of the Plants. And many Disease's that killed some Human and Alien Soldier's and Officers on the Planet.
"I've seen more Impressive stuff." And very Dangerous stuff.
They went to the front of the Castle, Tom had a very hard time believing this was a Castle, and Rarity knocked at the Door. They waited for a few moments to see the Door open by
Minister Tua?!.
Maketh Tua was Reading one of the Books Twilight owned, with the Alicorn's Permission of Course. She was Reading a Book called The History of Equestira. She didn't plan on staying on Equestria for ever but since she was here, she may as well learn a few Things.
She was sitting on the Couch when she heard a Knock on the Door."I'll get it!" She yelled. She got up and Stretched quickly. She then made her way to the Door and was looking at Rarity, Cole and
Separatist Admiral Tom Grey?!
Tom saw the Lothlite raise her Hand and she was about to slap him when he quickly grabbed her Wrist."Separatist Scum!" She yelled. She was about to slap him with her other Hand when he suddenly Punched her Square in the Face. Tom wondered how she was able to Recognize him. He had kept his Identity about being a Separatist for so long that few People knew of him being one.
The Minister of Lothal landed on her Back as Blood came down her Nose. Tom saw Rarity's Face of Shock and Horror. He then saw Two Ponies, one with Wings and a Horn and another with just a Horn, come to Maketh's Aid.
"What's going on?" The one with a Horn and Wing's said firmly as she helped Maketh up."Separatist Scum!" She said, almost going to Slap him again. Just then, she froze. Tom and Cole looked at each other, confused.
"Don't worry, i put a freezing Spell over her. Maybe that will calm her down." The Pony with a Twilight Mane said. Spell... He thought. Suddenly, he realized that this Pony was a Witch. Tom, thankfully, had never met any Witches out there in the Galaxy but he still Hated them for trying to Kill Father.
And those Witches had paid with Blood.
He brought out his Blaster Carbine and pointed it at the Pony with Wings and a Horn."You Kriffin' Witch!" He said. The Pony seemed rather confused by this for a moment until a look of Realization came."Who are you?" She asked, backing away from him.
"This is my Bodyguard i talked about. Tom Grey, a Veteran of the Clone Wars," Cole introduced him."Tom, this is Princess Twilight Sparkle and her Friend, Starlight Glimmer. They have taken very good care of me and the Minister and her Daughter."
Tom was even more confused. The Minister had a Daughter?. Suddenly, the Lothlite unfroze and missed slapping him. Her was turned into Confusion."Why do you two Hate each other? Do you know each other?" Twilight asked, obviously wanting to ease the Tension.
"He's a Criminal!" She yelled again."Was a Criminal. Now i serve the Empire, just like you. And do not forgot that that Man over there, the Man i am supposed to Protect, serve's our glorious Emperor. So i suggest you back off."
Maketh didn't say anything and her Face of a Anger was turned to Fear. Tom quickly brought his Fist, faking to Punch her. She flinched like a Child and he smiled.
Twilight had warned him to stay away from Maketh for a while and he would comply since she was a Princess. But perhaps when the Princess wasn't watching...
He then heard a knock at the Door. The Room he was in was big enough for him, a Bed and a Dresser, not that he had any other Clothing. He went to the Door and opened it."Tom, i got a very good Surprise for you," Cole said, smiling. Tom looked at him as the Alderaanian was in his Happy Mood, which was most of the Time.
Tom sighed."What is it?" He asked. Cole's Smile only got Wider.
Tom could not believe the Short Alderaanian talked him into this. He already knew what was going to happen."This place is called Sugar Cube Corner," Tom was just plain confused. Sugar Cube Corner? Not even Alien Specie's in his Galaxy were that Stupid to call a Place like this. Then again, the Town he was in was called Ponyville, so...
Cole opened the Door.
"SURPRISE!" Came the Holler of both Ponies and Cole. There was Confettie in the room and Tom saw a Cake and a Banner that said 'Welcome to Ponyville'. There were many Ponies in the room but he also saw Five other Creature's he didn't recognize. Not that he cared.
The Ponies and Creature's smiling looked surprised as he left but Pinkie was Shocked and she gasped."You can't leave! Not yet! You haven't even tried the Cake! Oh, here's some Punch!" Pinkie Pie said as she grabbed a glass of Punch from the Bowl and went in front of the Separatist Admiral.
She put the glass Cup to his lips and poured it down his Throat very quickly.
Tell us if more Reinforcements are coming for you and Army.
Never!
Again!
He then slapped Pinkie Pie very hard in the Face. The Pony hit the ground and the glass Cup broke. The other Ponies and Creatures gasped at he would do this to such a good and meaningful Pony.
"You Crazy Coruscanti Whore! Who do you think you are!" Tom yelled. He walked away before the Ponies helped Pinkie Pie up.
