Chapter 4: Surprises

"So, do you like your room?" Dash said, adjusting some things, hiding others.

"It's… it's great." Jon chuckled, "mattress is super comfy."

"I know!"

"Ok, I have to do some things. I'll be back." Rainbow Dash said, turning to leave.

Just before she left, Jon said, "Thanks."

The sun was starting to set. Jon started to think about the events of today.

Am I seriously… I just have to get back home. Jon's thinking produced the image of him getting struck by lightning, his backpack falling with ripped straps, and charred bits of his homework raining down on the group of kids circled under the roof of the school.

Sighing, Jon reluctantly pulled the sheets over up to his neck, settling in for sleep.

THE NEXT DAY…

"Blitz! Come on, get up!" Rainbow Dash said, flying over Jon. He opened his eyes to see the cyan pony's face, saying "Get up!"

"AH!" Jon said backing up to the headboard, "It..it wasn't a dream" Jon whispered to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing. Where's breakfast? I'm starving." Jon asked, putting a fake smile on his face.

"Downstairs. Come on." Rainbow Dash said, turning to the door.

Jon got up and moved the sheets to the corner of the bed. Pushing himself out of bed, Jon walked out of the door and walked downstairs.

An awkward breakfast full of silences that last about a minute later…

"Follow me. We're going to go meet my friends." Dash said, pointing at a tall tree. "Let's go."

A short flight later…

Touching down on the ground, Rainbow Dash said, "We're here."

Jon flew in, and skidded to a stop. "Ow."

The door opened, showing a large room, every single wall covered in books. A small purple dragon stood there, holding the door open. "Twilight! Rainbow Dash is here, and he's with somepony else!"

A voice from upstairs said, "Coming!"

"This is my friend Twilight." RD said, pointing at the top of the stairs, where a rushed Twilight stands.

"Hello, Rainbow, who's this?" Twilight said, smiling.

"This is Wind Blitz. He's new here."

"Does he have a place to sleep?"

"Yeah, I'm letting him stay with me until a place at the hotel opens up."

"Oh. Ok." Twilight says, trotting down the stairs, "Come in."

After walking in the doorway, Jon was astonished by the amount of books lined up on wooden shelves.

"So, Wind Blitz, Where are you from." Twilight asked, staring at a shelf, then walking over to take a book off.

"Um.. I'm from Manehattan." Jon said, "And you can call me Blitz."

"Ok. Blitz, are you sure your from Manehattan?"

Jon gulped, looking at the title of the book. Predictions and Prophecies. "Y..yeah." Jon was starting to feel himself sweat.

"Ok. Because from reading this book, they said that a pony that looks a lot like you would come here and save us from a threat called…" Twilight says, while stopping at a page, trying to pronounce a word, "The… Oh never mind about its name. Which way did you come into town?"

"I came in from the Everfree Forest." Jon said, sweat starting to move down his neck.

"You see, Manehattan is the other way. Unless you made a 100 mile path change, you're lying." Twilight said, looking up and closing the book. Rainbow Dash is looking at Jon intensively. "Tell us the truth, Blitz."

"Ok. I'm not from Equestria. I came here from a crazy green cloud that zapped me with lightning, which acted like an elevator and pulled me here. I crashed out by Everfree Forest in a lightning strike."

Rainbow Dash's mouth was wide open, looking at Twilight, saying, "So, that explains the green cloud that I had to move away from town. I did see lightning."

Twilight nodded and said, "Here, take this book, and read up on it." And handed the book to Jon, "I really hope you can help us."

To be continued…

Author's Note: Sorry for the delay, I had the largest amount of homework, and the world's longest writer's block. And it didn't help either that the power went out when I tried to type this the first time.
