Three days since arrival
Twilight was helping Rarity find some books on fashion it was just a normal day at the library. Just as Rarity was about to leave Derpy Hooves came to the door with a letter for Twilight. "Twilight I got a letter for you."
"Thanks Derpy." replied Twilight. "Good bye Twilight, now I can go on a muffin break." After that was said Derpy made a muffin appear out of nowhere and flew off.
"So what does the letter say darling." asked Rarity.
Dear Twilight,
An acquaintance of mine have recently made his new home near Ponyville, however he has not left his home or made any attempt to make any friends in the three days he's been there. I was hopping you and your friends could help him get over his anti-social tendencies. His home is to the south of Ponyville just inside the edge of the Everfree Forest. If he doesn't want to talk call him by his nickname Wolf.
A friend.
"Well Rarity , apparently a pony built a house just inside of the Everfree forest and somepony that knows him is afraid he isn't going to make any friends and wants us to help him make friends."
"Oh, nopony should be with out friends, we simply must help him."
"I agree, go get Applejack and Pinkie Pie, I'll get Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Once you get them meet us on the southern border of Ponyville."
Once they all arrived at the border of the forest, Twilight decided to tell them about the letter. "Ok girls, I called you here because-"
"Oh is this about the new pony in Ponyville." Interrupted Pinkie. "How did-" "My pinkie sense was telling me there was a new pony I town but it's been three days since my pinkie sense went off and I still haven't found them. Huh, this means they haven't gotten a welcome to Ponyville party yet. We need to find them soon, nopony should not get a welcome to Ponyville party."
"Yes well a friend of his sent me a letter asking for our help. He wants us to help his friend make friends, the only problem is that he lives in the Eveerfree forest." said Twilight
"What! Nopony's crazy enough to live there. There are too many dangerous creatures they wouldn't last a day." Rainbow Dash said.
"Normally I would agree with you Dash, but apparently he's been there for three days. Also his friend said he lived just inside the forest, not many creatures come to the edge of the forest." They then split up to look for this mysterious pony. After about an hour they all regrouped in a field with a tree.
"Ah, can't believe we couldn't find him. Ya think we wouldn't miss a house. Ah mean it's already dark we should have at least seen him." said Applejack.
"I know where could he… wait do you here that?" asked Twilight.
"…There is an open door, somehow it feels so familiar, we have been here before…"
A few minutes ago…
I had noticed that the mane six had been looking for me so I stayed hidden in my home. By this time I assumed they had given up and returned home. The sun had gone behind the horizon and there was not a star in the sky. I don't know why but I felt compelled to sing, and I knew the perfect song for the moment.
(Guide You Home (I Would Die for You) by Rebecca Kneubuhl)
This is the darkest night
The stars have all faded away
Quiet upon this world
Through the clouds there is a light
We will find a way
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
You're all I need
You set me free
And this fire will guide you home
There is an open door
Somehow it feels so familiar
We have been here before
Through this old forgotten fight
There must be a way
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
You're all I need
You set me free
And this fire will guide you home
Where our hearts are wide open
Where our hope is unbroken
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone...
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
You're all I need
You set me free
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will wait for you
I will stay for you
You're all I need
You set me free
You set me free
And this fire will guide you home...
Singing that made me think of home and everyone I knew but before I could start to think about what happened to everyone when I died I heard a voice. Or at least I thought I did but then realized that I was in the Everfree Forest no one came into the forest especially at night, but then I heard it again. "Hello, can we talk."
Unsure who could be here I stuck my head out the window and saw Twilight and her friends. "Go away and let me sleep." Whit that I went back inside and ignored them until I heard her say something I didn't expect.
"Get back here and talk to us Wolf." said Twilight. She just used my codename no one should know my codename, unless Jenkins or Ramirez were also sent here. But they wouldn't know that I was here and God didn't tell me he sent anyone else here. I had to get to the bottom of this, so reluctantly I stuck my head out the window again.
"How do you know that name, no on… nopony should know that name. Also why are you here and how did you find me?" I asked, I need to know what they knew.
"Well today I got a letter telling me about you. It said that you were living here and need some friends. It also said that if you wouldn't talk to us to call you Wolf. Why do you call yourself Wolf anyway?"
"First tell me who sent the letter then I might answer some of your questions."
"I don't know who sent the letter it was signed 'a friend'. So how old are you? Why are you in that tree? Where did you come from? And why are you called Wolf?" she asked. Now I had to think of a response that they would find acceptable. But I couldn't tell them I came from a different planet/ dimension, why I was called Wolf or that I wasn't even a pony. That would lead to too many questions and unwanted attention.
"To start I'm nineteen, and I came from a distant land. As to why I'm in this tree, it's because this tree is my home. And it's safer to live in this tree than it is to live on the ground. But I'm not going to tell you why I'm called Wolf that's personal. Now go away so I can sleep and don't bother me again." With that I went to try and get some sleep knowing that they would be back tomorrow. I just hope that I can get them to leave me alone.
