"Oh come on Twi, I just wanna see what he looks like. You make him out to be really interesting." A voice I never heard yet.

"Not now Spike, he's sleeping, he had an eventful day yesterday and needs his sleep, you will just have to wait till he gets up." Now that's a voice I recognized, Twilight!

"Ugh, fine." I heard foot steps and hoof steps walking away from my door, seems like it's time to get up.

I didn't know she had someone else living here. I yawned as I sat up and stretched my upper body, I felt the blood begin to flow faster and was feeling refreshed. I glanced out the window and saw the sun coming up over the horizon, the first pony folk leaving their houses and beginning their day. M_ight as well start unpacking before I get some breakfast_ , I thought while heading over to the boxes in the corner. As soon as I got to the boxes I realized, I didn't have a knife to open them with, better get a knife from the kitchen. As I was about to open the door, I stopped. This isn't my house, I should really put on a pair of pants at least. I turned around and walked back to the dresser next to the bed. My clothes were laying on top of it, and I grabbed my pants and put them on. I decided to leave my shirt where it is seeing as how I planned on getting in the shower (If they have them) after unpacking. I walked back to the door and opened it, stepping on the upper floor, which I presume was Twilight's "room".

I started to go down the steps, I looked down into the middle of the room when I saw Twilight going through book after book. As I stepped onto the main floor she noticed me and gave a friendly smile.

"Good morning Marshall." She blushed a bit as she noticed I did not have a shirt on. "Let me introduce you to my number one assistant Spike." She pointed a hoof towards a small dragon who was sweeping in a apron.

He was about the body height of a regular pony, he was mainly purple with a green underbelly and green spikes on his head to his tail and emerald green eyes.

"So, you're Marshall huh, doesn't seem like much Twi." He turned while getting back to sweeping.

"SPIKE, that's rude. He is a nice person and very interesting seeing as how he's the only human known to exist in Equestria. Never mind him, are you hungry?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yea, but I'm going to unpack my stuff and get a shower first. Which way to the kitchen? I need a knife to open the boxes." I scratched the back of my head great, bed head.

"Oh sure, here let me get you one." Her horn glowed purple and I saw a butter knife glowing the same purple come from the kitchen I presume. "Here, and the showers upstairs on the left."

"Thanks Twi." I took the knife and it stopped glowing as I headed back upstairs.

"Hey, do you mind if I see all the things you have up there?" Twilight asked with a hint of curiosity. Well she had never seen anything from my world, a real curious pony.

"I don't see why not. Although they may seem bizarre to you." I shrugged.

Her face lit up and she smiled. "Thanks Marshall, I've been curious as to what you have in the box."

She followed me up the stairs and into my room. I cut along the side of the first box, a longer but thinner box, and inside the box was a black case. I picked it up and put it down on top of my bed.

Twilight raised an eyebrow "So whats in the case?" I could only chuckle as she had no idea what was in it.

"Well, its a musical instrument, its called a guitar." I opened the case and the cherry red guitar shined in the sunlight coming from the window. It was an Epiphone Dot, iconic guitar, and one of my personal favourites.

He eyes went wide as she looked it over, a brand new thing to look over and study must be a thrill. "That looks cool, how does it work?" She asked while touching a string with her hoof, that then started to vibrate, to which she quickly pulled her hoof back.

I picked up the guitar, I put the strap over my head so it rested on my shoulders. I opened the little compartment inside the case and picked up a pick. "Well, you see. I use this here pick, and strum over the strings. Each one is a different pitch, and I can play more at once to make a chord." I explained to her, all the while she was nodding and intently looking at what I was doing.

I decided to play a C chord to show what one sounds like, "See that was a C chord. There are many different types and many that go well together, and some do not."

She was staring, obviously never hearing one before seeming as they lack fingers, her horn glowed purple and a piece of parchment and a quill both came into the room and started writing. "Oh cool, I'd better take some notes for a report to Princess Celestia."

I could only chuckle as she quickly took notes like a student in university. Then we both heard a knock at the front door then a voice called out.

"Hey Twilight, you here? I'm looking for the next chapter of Daring Do."

Twilight walked out of the room and looked down as she noticed Rainbow Dash. "I'll be right down Rainbow." Looking back at me she said "you can continue getting unpacked, I'll be back in a bit." before walking downstairs to find the book Rainbow Dash was looking for.

It took about ten minutes to get out my amp, iPod, my headphones and a small laptop. No bigger then a book all dedicated to music recording. I wonder what kind of music they have around here, I'd better start recording some songs to show what music I had back home.

After setting up everything I decided to take a shower. After looking through all the body wash they had, Cool Coat, Silky Coat, Clean Coat... I'll try Cool Coat. Now for shampoo, Mane Moisturizer, Magnificent Mane, and Manly Mane. I'll try the last one hehe. While about halfway through, I heard a knock at the door and Twilight call out for me.

"Hey Marshall? You in the shower? I wanna show Rainbow here your.. Umm. Guitar! Yea." I'll bet twenty she looked at her notes. But I saw no problem in letting them look.

"Sure Twi, just be careful, the body is very fragile. And that goes for you too Rainbow Dash." I heard some giggles from Twilight and a groan from Rainbow. "Come on I'm not that clumsy!"

I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, "Sure" I sarcastically retorted, eliciting a few giggles from Twilight and another groan from Rainbow.

After turning the water off I grabbed a dry towel from a closet with towels all neatly stacked and sorted by colour. Who would of guessed, she likes organizing. I dried myself off and got dressed. Going to have to buy some... or get someone to make me new clothes. I doubt there are any clothes here to my shape. I then heard Twilight shout out with a gasp.

"Careful Rainbow!" Then a loud crash, and my heart skiped a beat. No, she couldn't, she wouldn't, she didn't, did she?

I dashed out of the bathroom and stopped in the door way to mine, and what I saw was heart wrenching. The only important thing I had left from my world, was broken. One side of the body was smashed in, it was a semi hollow body guitar after all. I felt like I had been punched in the chest, there was no way to replace it, or even fix it that I knew of. It was a one of a kind item in the world, I was devastated, angry at her from breaking it. "N..no...how..."

They both had shocked looks on their faces, but most noticeably Rainbow Dash. Her ears were splayed down on her head, and was shaking her head from side to side, tears welling up in her eyes."Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I'm so so sorry Marshal. I can fix it... I'll find a way."

I couldn't stay, I was heart broken, I had warned her, she said she was only going to look at it. I turned a walked down the stairs and out the door, ignoring the calls from behind I kept walking. Past ponies looking at me with wondering expressions, as I walked by them looking straight ahead. Through the market place and out of town towards the woods before I couldn't hold my emotions any longer. I fell to my knees and pounded the ground with my right hand.

"How could she break it? Its a one of a kind thing, all I had left. I know it was an accident, but that doesn't fix whats broken." I vented my anger at ground before I stopped when my hand started throbbing.

"Umm... Marshall?" A quiet voice called from behind, most likely Rainbow Dash looking to apologize, but I was in no mood to listen to Dash right now. "Rainbow... please leave me alone for now.. I know it was an accident, but I don't want to talk to you right now."

"So...sorry, I'm not Rainbow Dash, but I'll leave you alone.. if that's what you want that is." Whispered the voice again, this time I recognized the voice, Fluttershy! Her voice soothing, and calming. She wanted to help me, lend an ear. I shouldn't of snapped until I knew who it was.

"Wait Fluttershy, please don't go. I'd like somepony to talk to, I thought you were Rainbow Dash, sorry for snapping at you." I said as I turned around, feeling a tad better to be able to talk to somepony. I gave a weak smile to her in hopes to make her feel better and stay to talk. She was wearing saddlebags, and heading towards her house.

"Umm sure, lets go to my house. I need to feed my animals, if you want to that is." She started to walk along the pathway towards the forest.

"Thanks Flutter, you're a good friend." I said while getting to my feet and dusted off my pants when pain shot through my hand. "Ow, dammit." Fluttershy gasped, and turned around with a worried expression.

"Are you ok? What did you hurt yourself?" It caught by surprise as she wasn't her usual shy self, she went into full doctor mode. I brought my hand up to my face and looked at the red swelling on the bottom of it.

"I just vented my anger at the ground with my hand, probably not the smartest thing in the world to do." I explained while chuckling at my actions that I shouldn't of done. Tunnel vision as they say.

She examined it closely. "It only looks swollen, that wasn't a smart thing to do." She looked at my face with a stern look. Yea you don't have to tell me. She took my wrist in her mouth and started walking again. "You're coming with me, were gonna get you some ice for the swelling. Then you can tell me what happened."

As we were walking towards her house, my stomach growled. Dang, I forgot about breakfast. It must of been loud because she noticed and asked. "Have you had breakfast yet?" I shook my head and scratched the back of it. "Hehe, no I haven't." She narrowed her eyebrows and released my wrist from her mouth before turning into the left side of her saddlebags. She pulled a blueberry muffin from inside it and turned towards me. "Here, you can have this. Its my leftovers from my own breakfast this morning." I took it from her mouth and gave her a side hug. "Thanks Fluttershy." She blushed slightly from the sudden embracement, but soon she leaned into it.

Her house was quite a walk from Ponyville, set in a nice bit of a forest. Seeing as how she was shyer, and like being near animals, it didn't surprise me in the least. Its away from all the busyness in Ponyville so it made sense. As soon as I saw her house my jaw hit the floor. It was a tree, like the library, but there was animals all around. Birds chirping, rabbits hopping, wow! This place was paradise, a pond/stream was out front with a bridge connecting each side. And there were bird houses everywhere! She noticed I had my mouth agape at the sight.

"Well, this is home. It's nothing special. Now, let me get you some ice, you can sit next to the pond, if you want to that is." Nothing special? I've never seen anything like it in my life. I sat on a hill next to the pond and seen dozens of fish swimming around. I took in a deep breath and took in the rich smell of the outdoors. I was used to a city atmosphere, this was a big change from what I am used to.

I heard strong flapping coming from behind me. Then Fluttershy landed next to me, I forgotten that she was a Pegasus. She had a damp cloth in her mouth. "Here, wrap this around your hand, it will make the swelling go down." I took it from her and began warping it around my hand. She watched intently as I did so, and she piped up when I finished.

"Now, start from the beginning Marshall, tell me everything." She had a small smile, looking to help out a friend. "Well, it all began this morning.." I told her the whole story, not skimping out on any details. She kept on nodding her head, giving a couple of giggles from the funnier parts, to gasps when I discovered what happened to my guitar. Only stopping to explain what a guitar was to her.

"And I know she had no intentions to break it, it is a one of a kind thing here in Equestria. I hope I didn't make her think I hated her, my emotions almost took over, I got tunnel vision and I didn't want to do anything to my friend I would regret." I gave a big sigh and closed my eyes, the burden finally off my shoulders. Now only sadness filled me, no more anger at my friend. Fluttershy tapped my shoulder with her hoof and spoke in a quiet voice.

"Umm would a hug make you feel better?" To be honest, a hug felt like a really good thing to have at the moment. "Yea, thanks Flutter, that would be great." I felt her embrace me from the right with her forehooves, as I brought my right arm and warped it around her back. We sat there in silence for a minute or so while hugging before I tried to end it, though I never wanted it to end. Her body heat against me, her head on my chest, listening to my heart beat and my deep breathing. I tried to move away from her, but she didn't let go. I laid on my back and she brought her arm from around my back and laid her head on my chest.

This was a perfect moment, I could of sworn she was asleep until she whispered. "Don't go, not yet. Your heart beat is soothing, please?" Well how could I say no to her? I started to stroke her mane. "Sure, its pretty relaxing." I don't know how long we laid there until I noticed she had fallen asleep. She was so adorable, her breathing was steady and calm. My own eye lids started to get heavy. I guess I'll just take a little nap, I don't want to wake her up.

"Hey he is over here Rainbow." Was I still dreaming? I resisted the urge to wake up, feeling Fluttershy still laying on my chest. I opened my eyes and was looking at Twilight's face. I brought my left hand to my mouth to quiet her, I didn't want to give Fluttershy a rude awakening. Twilight whispered "Oops, sorry." While splaying her ears to her head and looking at the peaceful Fluttershy sleeping. The sky was darkening as the sun began to set.

I looked down at Fluttershy and started to stroke her mane again, trying to wake her up easily. "Fluttershy... Time to wake up Fluttershy." As she started to stir, she was clearly relaxed and didn't realize that she had fallen asleep. "Wha...What happened? Did I fall asleep?" She asked while looking up at me sleepily. I felt a smile come over my face as I she tried to clear her head.

"Yea, you did. Come on Twilight and Rainbow Dash are here." Her eyes widened at Dash's name. "You're not still mad at her are you?" She worriedly asked me, not wanting a fallout between her friends. I gave a big sigh. "No, I'm still bummed about the guitar, but I know she didn't mean it. And I forgive her."

I heard somepony picking at the ground, and Rainbow Dash spoke up with an apologetic tone. "Marshal, I'm real sorry about the guitar accident, but I told you I would fix it, so I did. Well, Twilight did." I was turned and saw Twilight had my guitar case open, floating by her magic with my guitar looking as it did before it got broken. I looked back and forth between the two, Twilight with a proud look seeing how she fix it, and Rainbow Dash with a small hopeful smile. Tears started to swell in my eyes, I've only been here a day, and I had my closest item broken, and fixed my two ponies I barley know. It was overwhelming, but I knew that this was the place that I truly belonged.

"Thanks girls, you are the best." I first went to hug Twilight, seeing as how she repaired it and was the closer of the two ponies. I had to drop on one knee to be around the same height as her. She was taken back a bit but soon embraced the hug back. "Anything for you Marshall, you deserve it to be fixed." She whispered in my ear. I soon broke the hug and walked over to Rainbow Dash who avoided eye contact and kicked at the ground. I dropped to one knee again and opened my arms, seeing as how she is the "tough" one I didn't expect her to take me up on the offer. But that was quickly dashed as she jumped up and hugged me tight. I felt a couple of tears fall onto my shoulder as she lightly shook. Seems she has a softer side for her friends. I gently stroked her mane and gave her reassuring shushes, trying to calm her down. She snuggled her head into my shoulder and started to calm down. "I'm sorry Marshall, I wanted to see how it looked on me, but I dropped it."

"Shh shh shh, it's ok Rainbow. It was an accident, and I forgive you. Besides, you managed to fix it so everything if forgiven. You're a good friend Rainbow." She started to breathe regularly and started to return to normal. "Thanks Marsh, you're a nice guy. But, can I ask you something?." I broke the hug and looked at her questioningly. "Could you play some music for us? Please?" She asked with pleading eyes. I looked back at the other two, and saw Twilight had my small practice amp with her and was plugging everything in for me. I could only smile. "Sure Dash." I looked to my warped up hand, it didn't hurt anymore so I decided to take it off. Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes as she looked at it. I glanced at her, "I'll explain later."

Soon we had a small campfire going and all four of us were sitting on one side closest to Fluttershy's house. The three ponies were laying in front of me while I got my guitar set up and turned the amp on. All three were watching intently as I started to play, they were clearly enjoying the music moving their heads side to side with the beat of the music. They soon got into it and we were all singing and laughing into the night. I switched off my amp as I was feeling pretty tired as were they judging from their yawns.

I let out a big yawn when Rainbow Dash noticed something and piped up. "Hey, whats that black dot you got on your tongue?" Twilight nodded in agreement. "I noticed it last night but I thought I was just imagining things." I felt my face start to get warmer. Well, crap. I didn't think they would notice it. Would they be freaked out? Never the less, they asked and they now know about it, might as well tell em.

I scratched the back of my neck, thinking on how to tell them what it is. "Well you see, its called a tongue piercing." I let my tongue out of my mouth and moved the barbell with my lower teeth. Fluttershy gasped, Twilight eyes became bigger as she looked on intently, and Rainbow had a smile that was growing. All of them interested in my tongue piercing, concern, interest, and perhaps it was cool to Rainbow Dash.

"Di...did it hurt?" Fluttershy asked while moving her hoof to her mouth. I nodded my head, I couldn't lie to my friends. "Yea it did, but only for a day or so. I hardly notice it now." Twilight was the next to speak. "Wow, I've never seen anything like that." They had to have some kind of piercings around here, right? I glanced over at Rainbow who had a big grin on her face. "You're tougher then I gave you credit for Marshall. I've seen a couple ponies with ear piercings, but never their tongue."

My face only became redder, why was I so damn interesting. I was always a shyer one when it came to girls, but these three are a snap to talk to. I took another big yawn, I thinks it's time for a little sleep. "Hey, I don't know about you girls, but I'm exhausted." I looked up and saw the moon was almost straight above us, it must of been around 11:30 pm.

Twilight looked up as well, and her smile turned into a small frown, "Hey Fluttershy? You mind if me and Marshall stay here for the night? I don't wanna walk back home at this time." Fluttershy closed her eyes and nodded her head in agreement. "Sure, no problem Twilight."

I noticed Rainbow Dash had a sad look on her face, seeing as she could easily return home. But clearly did not want to leave us. I leaned over to Fluttershy and whispered into her ear. "Hey, Rainbow looks like she wants to stay to. I think someone is a little jealous that I'm staying here with you and Twi." She looked over and nodded in agreement before calling to Rainbow Dash. "Hey Dash, you wanna stay here to?"

Rainbow Dashes face lit up. "Really!! I mean, if you want me to I guess I can stay." Trying to keep up her tough image. After putting the fire out and collecting my guitar stuff, we started walking towards Fluttershy's house. "Marshall, you can have the bed upstairs, we can all sleep down here on the couch bed tonight." I turned to her with one eyebrow raised. "I'm not taking no for an answer." She said while turning her head to the side. Did I see a look of disappointment on all of their faces? I was curious, why did she demand I sleep on her bed tonight while they all slept downstairs? I was too tired to ask. I realized I had worn my clothes for a couple of days. "Hey Flutter, anywhere I can wash my clothes?" She nodded her head. "Up stairs, to the left. In the bathroom on the right side of the room." Good, these need a good washing. I walked up the stairs and into the bathroom, striped to my boxers and put the rest of my clothes in it. First things first, wash these boxers tomorrow morning! I thought to myself.

After putting my clothes in the washer and I headed across the hall towards her bed room, and by god the bed was huge! For a pony bed at least. It was about the size of a double bed back on earth. Before shutting the door almost closed, I called back at the three. "Goodnight girls, sweet dreams." Then hearing the trio call back. "Good night Marshall." I climbed into bed and shut off the lamp beside it and closed my eyes.

I could hear some whispers and giggles from downstairs. Typical girls, hehe. I closed my eyes and started to drift off to sleep. As I was sleeping I heard the door creak open. I was taken a bit out of my slumber, but resisted to fully wake up. In the weird state between deep sleep and awake. Consciously knowing what was going on but not able to move yet. I listened hard for anymore sounds. "Hey Marshall, Marshall? Good." Rainbow Dash? What did she want at this hour. I heard flapping, presuming she was flying towards the bed. I was stumped, what did she want? I heard her land next to the right side of the bed. "There isn't any room on that bed down stairs for three ponies, I'm sure he wont mind. I'll be up before him anyways." She whispered to herself, not knowing I was somewhat awake. Hmm, why didn't one of them ask to sleep up here with me. I would of gladly made room for one of them.

She gently lifted the covers off of me, I was laying in the middle of the bed so I doubt that there would of been any room for her. "Dang, oh well. I am pretty light, I don't think he will even notice." She whispered to herself again. I heard her flap her wings again and she lightly landed on my chest. She wasn't very heavy at all, so I didn't struggle breathing. She laid her head on my chest and covered us up with the blanket. I unconsciously moved my right hand to her mane and slowly started caressing it. She let out a small sigh. "Hmm, this is why Fluttershy liked it so much." After a minute or so she moaned softly, and started to go limp and fall asleep. Wow! These fingers must be something else! If I can get Rainbow Dash to melt at my touch, they must feel pretty good. I thought as I drifted off to sleep at the sound of Dashes quick, smooth breaths, that contrasted to my long and deep breaths. I wonder what kind of adventures tomorrow will bring.
