Sorry I haven't updated in a while, school got in the way again. Well, that and I had a hard time figuring out what lines to use. Which means a comment will let me know if I'm doing well (Seriously, somebody leave a comment! I know there are people reading and following this story, which I like, but I wanna hear your thoughts on it and see what needs improving! It means a lot to me!)

It was almost noon and the rainfall was already pouring heavily but Spike seemed to pay no mind to it. "If I knew it was going to rain I would've brought an umbrella. Too late now" Spike said to himself. Every now and again he turned back thinking about that odd dragon he came across earlier that morning. I can't help but wonder if that guy's alright, but I can't turn back now his mind went back to all that blood that was at the entry at first he thought it belonged to that dragon but he didn't look hurt as far as he could tell. Not to mention that fact he acted like he wasn't a dragon.

"Hey kid!" he heard a voice call from above. Spike looked up to see that very same white teenage dragon flying towards him. Fast.

"Whoa, look out!" Without a second thought Spike got out of his way as the other dragon skidded to a stop actually leaving marks on the ground.

Okay, flying as a dragon and flying as a magical garment girl are more different than I thought Ayumu thought to himself. He got taking off down, he just needed to work on landing. Ayumu turned back to the baby dragon.

"Well, hello again" Ayumu greeted back in an almost "sparkly" demeanor.

Spike was slightly weirded out, but he didn't want to be rude." Uh…hey" Spike waved back but he couldn't help but ask "Where you following me?"

"Uh… yeah. Luckily and didn't have to go far to catch up to you" Ayumu said back to his normal way.

"Catch up to me? Why?"

"Well, I'm kinda new around here and since you're the first one I met, I thought you'd be a good start." Ayumu said as vaguely as possible. He didn't want to give a lot of information so soon since he barely knows how this kid would react or how this world works.

"You're new here? I thought you were with the migration." Spike said.

"You mean those guys up there?" Ayumu pointed to the dragons above. "Yup! It's my quest to follow them to learn all about them!" Spike said proudly as he walked ahead.

"Wait aren't you a dragon too?" Ayumu asked as he walked alongside him.

"Well yes, but I was raised by ponies. Since they know next to nothing about dragons and this migration once in a generation, it's my one shot to know more about myself" the baby dragon answered.

"Ponies? Really? But then again I've seen a lot of weird stuff, so who am I to judge?" Ayumu couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Weird? Weird how?" Spike felt a little hurt when he said that but at the same time he could tell he wasn't trying to be mean.

Ayumu looked at the little dragon before him, contemplating on whether or not he should be honest with him. Maybe I should start small. Not all the details, but enough information to answer this kid's questions. "Well kid, you probably wouldn't believe me but… I'm from another world"

"Another… world?" Spike couldn't help but looked confused.

"Yup and I'm not really a dragon."

"Okaaay… if you're not a dragon then what are you?" Spike asked skeptically, now definitely thinking this guy hit his head hard. Ayumu began explaining about humans, the magic that's hidden in his world and how he and roommates fight monsters called Megalos and how he ended up here.

"Honestly that whole story sounds like something from one of my comic books: totally awesome! But why is magic hidden in your world and if it's so hidden how do you know about it?" Spike asked excited to get to know this awesome young drake.

"In order? Humans usually aren't so accepting of things they don't understand and… I'm usually in the wrong place at the wrong time" So true.

"Well answer me this, what was all that blood that by the forest? You don't look like you're hurt." Spike asked the question that was nagging him all day.

Ayumu froze. He just remembered that the kid mentioned seeing a lot of blood, his blood, at the forest entry. Even though this little guy called him cool, saying he was a zombie would probably freak him out.

"Uh, when I got here I accidently landed on one of the dragons, we got into a bit of fight and I injured him pretty good. But he didn't take it so well and knocked me into the river, ha ha…"

"Whoa… you took on an adult dragon? That's amazing!" Spike said mesmerized

Phew… I think he bought it Ayumu thought then he realized he never introduced himself. "Name's Ayumu by the way. Ayumu Aikawa, what's yours kid?" He said gesturing for a handshake

"Haha! That's a funny name! And I'm Spike." He said as he shook his hand. At Ayumu was off-put that Spike made fun of his name but it was probably a whole different dimension thing.

Unbeknownst to both of them, three certain ponies were watching them behind several bushes. They caught up to Spike earlier and were a little shocked to find him already talking to another dragon so they decided to stay out of sight and listen in on their conversation.

"That alien dragon better not try anything or I'll…!" Rainbow Dash almost shouted but Twilight put a hoof over her mouth. "Rainbow! Not so loud! Spike's not supposed to know we're here!" She scolded quietly before turning her attention back to Spike and Ayumu. "Spike seriously can't be believing that this dragon is from another dimension, it's just not scientifically or magically possible!"

"This coming from the pony that traveled back in time." Rainbow said in a deadpan tone.

"Look, if was some sort "dimension crossing" spell, I would have read about it."

"I don't know Twilight, he may be…odd, but this Ayumu fellow doesn't seem to be lying. He described things with a lot of detail." Rarity reasoned as they moved slowly and quietly to catch up them

"True… but most of the things, including his name, sound like Neighponese culture so he's probably just making all of this up. Also he was acting nervous when Spike brought up the blood, it's like he's hiding something, something big."

Everypony, especially Rarity, shuddered at the memory of up all that blood, that's why they took a different direction with Rainbow keeping an eye on Spike from the clouds to make sure they didn't lose him. That made them worry for the baby dragon's safety even more and whether or not Ayumu was a threat.

Back with the two dragons, Spike was telling his new friend all about Equestria, about Twilight, there time in Ponyville and miscellaneous other stuff. Ayumu couldn't help but think the whole story sounded like a kids show (Cutie marks?), but at the same time same time some aspects of this place sounded really cool and interesting.

"That's pretty cool of this Twilight of yours to let you go on your own like this." Said Ayumu, impressed that this kid who seemed no than more 12 traveling by himself.

"Yeah, she didn't have the answers I wanted, so she let me go this quest to find them. Never expected to meet an alien dragon though!" Spike said

"Well I wouldn't really call myself an alien."

"You're from another world dude. Don't really know what else to call you. You know… maybe you can come along with me! We can both learn about dragons and who knows maybe we'll find a way to get you back to your world." Spike said hoping to talk more with Ayumu.

Hmmm… he's got a point; I might learn something traveling with him. Plus it could be fun. Ayumu thought. With his mind made up he got on his knees to be eye-level with Spike.

"Okay Spike, you got yourself a deal."

"Alright! Let's get going!" Spike said running ahead in excitement.

"Hey wait up!" Ayumu ran after Spike, with Twilight, Rainbow and Rarity close behind.
