Sorry for the delay! I have been VERY busy these past weeks, and haven't had time to write! I apologize to those who were patiently waiting for this chapter! But here it is!

"Yes" DarkStar said. 'I'd be more than happy to help you; especially after all you have done for me."

Twilight blushed a bit and nodded her head. "The pleasure was mine. It's the least I could do for you, the one destined to save us."

Meanwhile, Applejack was keeping watch over Mythril, who was now sound asleep in a cot set up by the doorway. Outside, it was growing dark. The sun was beginning to sink behind the green leafy trees, and the atmosphere had cooled down a bit. It seemed calmer now. Less…hectic.

Seeming to read his mind Twilight spoke. "They were just happy to see you, that's all. I'm sure tomorrow they will all be more than happy to talk to you, and meet you as their equal."

Twilight grinned. "I am grateful that you agreed to help us. Without you, we stand no chance against Kaos."

"Save your thanks for after I whoop his $*. I mean, I haven't even seen this guy yet. What does he even look like?"

"Well, they say he stands 7 feet tall! And that he can lift an entire pony with his bare hands! And that he can read your mind!"

DarkStar chuckled. "I'm sure that those reports are a bit exaggerated. I mean, if I didn't know better, I would say that he might even be human! But how improbable would that be?"

DarkStar nodded his head. "But I'm sure that I can find a way to beat him. But it's getting late. And if this Kaos guy really is coming, then I will need all the sleep I can get."

Twilight gestured a hoof towards her bed. "You can use my bed. I can always sleep on the floor. It's not like I need any beauty sleep. That's more of Rarity's thing anyway."

Rarity? Who was this? Another pony that he hadn't heard about? Well considering how many ponies he saw today, it would surprise him if there were a lot more. Maybe this wasn't even the only town of them. Maybe there were giant cities!

"Don't worry Twilight. I'm sure you are beautiful. At least, I would certainly think that if I was a pony."

Twilight blushed.

"Um... well... thank you Darkstar, that's very…kind of you..."

He grinned. "Please, call me Star. DarkStar seems so… formal."

Star winked at her, causing her face to once again turn a deep shade of purple.

Star trudged up the stairs to Twilight's bed, the sheets looking comfortable and warm. It was hard to find a good position to sleep in the bed though, seeing that it was made for a pony, not a shrunken human. Eventually though, he found a comfortable position and quickly fell asleep.

In the morning, the warm breath of sunshine woke Star from his sleep. He stretched his arms and rolled over. And then fell off the bed. Hovering above his bed was the annoying pink pony.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed.

"HEY THERE! IM PINKIE PIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She screamed back.

"I was waking up peacefully, UNTIL I SAW YOU STANDING OVER MY BED WATCHING ME SLEEP! How long have you been there?"

"Well…. Hmmm… let's see. I got here about 4 hours ago, but was in the house for 6 hours… soooo about 10 hours!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.

"That's really creepy. Don't you have something better to do?"

"Not really… OH WAIT! My cupcakes might be done!"

Pinkie Pie rushed out of the hose, crashing down the door and leaving a trail of smoke behind her.

Just then Twilight rose from a mattress that had been laid on the floor.

"What's going on?" She yawned sleepily.

"Well, the morning was going beautifully until I noticed a pink pony that had been watching me sleep…"

Twilight giggled. "That sounds like Pinkie Pie. Please excuse her. She was just happy to see you. All she wants is to make new friends."

"Where did Applejack go? I thought she was looking after her friend."

"Oh she was. They left earlier this morning. Something about how some apples would make him feel better. I feel bad for the poor stallion."

Star yawned again and rubbed his eyes.

"I guess it's time to make some friends. Or at least get better prepared. If I'm going to fight some 7 foot mind reading monster, I might need some equipment."

Twilight grinned happily. "I think I know a way to introduce you to everyone AND help get you some stuff to help with your battle. Follow me!"

Twilight frolicked out the front door, and gestured for Star to follow her.

Star followed behind her, wondering what she had in mind for him.
