>Its a great Sunny day on ponyville 
>You are twilight sparkle, biggest (and only) student of Princess Celestia
>It has been quite some time since spike and you moved out from canterlot to ponyville thanks to the princess and her task of learning about friendship she had laid upon you
>The first few weeks were pretty exciting, a lot happened from the very first day of your arrival
>Nighmare moon (now princess luna), a dragon, parasprites, royal parties, the winter wrap up, etc etc
>Of course, these things were nothing compared to the best thing that could happened to you. Your friends
>You werent that social to begin with, always studying, reading books and missing tea parties of your fellow acquaintances and so on
>You really didn't had any friends before, maybe moondancer but since you kinda forgot her birthday when coming here she may have just forgot about your friendship so there's that, you have to do something about that later.
>Anyways, you are pretty happy of having these friends now, they are truly magical
>Friendship truly is magic, heh.
>After the gala, things happening in your life died down quite a bit
>Or at least thats what you thought this morning before you were galloping straight to your friend's cottage
>Aparently she has found some weird animal on the outskirts of the everfree forest  
>Hopefully it is just a weird bunny or dog and not something that is actually from the everfree. The fauna there is really dangerous and the last thing you want is fluttershy getting injured for trying to save some unusually cute timberwolf or whatever
>Thats why you are galloping to her cottage the moment rarity told you about the situation.



Fluttershy, are you there? I heard about some strange animal you found near the everfree, rarity told me
>"Oh yes twilight, ill be right with you in a second"
>So you waited, hoping that fluttershy finished whatever she was doing so you could get a look of this creature
>She opened the door after a couple of minutes

>"Oh, hello twilight, hope i didnt make you wait too long, come in!"
>Is not big deal fluttershy im glad youre ok, after hearing rarity talk about a big tall animal roaming near your cottage i got kinda worried for a bit
>"Why yes im ok twilight thanks for worrying but there is no need to!, after all Anon is just a gentle gigant, he wouldnt hurt a fly."
>Anon? Did you already gave it a name?
>"Yes, well, not exactly, he told me that was his actual name"
He.. told you? It can speak?
>"Uhm, its actually a He twilight, and yes, he told me. he also told me that he isnt an animal."
Uh, ok im really curious about "him" now, can i meet him?
>"Oh!, Yes of course he is in the kitchen, i made him some soup for lunch, you can get some if you want"
Thanks fluttershy
>After finally entering the cottage your curious mind started thinking about dozens of things about this creature
>He talks?, Is he smart like a regular pony? What was he doing near the everfree? Is he a threat?
>That last thought got you worried again, he may not be an animal but anyone that lives in the everfree could be planing something and you didnt liked that one bit.
>As you aproach the kitchen you see him
>He is just standing near the stove with a bowl, must be going to take some of the soup fluttershy made
>Now that you look at him he doesnt look that big or menacing as what rarity told you
>He looks just like a tall ape, or a minotaur but less bulky

 >Still, better keep your guard up, he could be hiding something
>And with that, you decide to just greet him, after all, he hasnt done anything suspicious and someone can get just so much soup in one bowl

Hello, im twilight sparkle, nice to meet you...

---------
>Its been 4 months since anon came to ponyville
>After the first couple of days of gathering information, telling the princess and helping him get along with everyone you learned several things
>Aparently he comes from a place called "earth", as in dirt
>Weird i know
>He also told you that there werent any "talking pastel colored horses" as he call us ponies
>You find it hard to believe but after sereval days of interrogation you slowly accepted the idea of this "earth" 
>Turns out humans are pretty similar to ponies, minus the magic so it wasnt THAT hard to acclimate him to our culture.
>As the days passed anon and you started to get this little rutine
>He would come to you in the mornings, you asked him some questions and answered his, then you would get lunch >together and ask more questions afterward
>Honestly after the first week or so it was more of a chitchat than anything
>Turns out you two have a lot in common 
>He is just as curious as you are, maybe more! He asked a lot of questions during the first week, like A LOT.
>You of course answered gladly before asking yours
>Reading was also another thing you got in common
>Apparently the lack of "in terr neet" and "pee sees" made him more interested in literature
>he find it funny the fact that many of our fictions books are really similar to books from his world 
>You find it funny too
>That being said you really enjoyed his company
>It was nice having a friend to read and just to hang around when you werent busy
>You like to think that he feels the same too!
>Afterall, you two spend more nights reading together or watching the nightsky looking for the stars more times that youd like to admit.
>Of course you wouldnt just keep anon to yourself, you made sure to introduce him to others ponies, your friends too
>Pinkie was a lot of help in this, she threw one big party for him
>She said it was her biggest yet, "one big party for one big fella" as she said
>Anon was a little shy at first, said that us ponies are really kind and that in his world people were different
>You of course already knew thay, he told you before.
>The party was perfect, he got to know all of your friend better, he already knew fluttershy since he spend several days living with her before he moved to the library
>Pinkie was really interested on anon
>For some reason she got a liking for him, saying that "it must be hard being an alien on a world you barely know" and she is unusualy more bubbly when he is around
>She even calls him nonny
>Cute
>Overall you feel pretty happy with you and your friends, anon may be an alien to this world, but you feel like there is nothing impossible if you have your friends and anon now.
>Or at least thats what you thought

>You are twilight again obviously
>Its a beautiful sunday morning, birds are singing, the weather is comfy and the sun of celestia is extra bright!
>Today will be a great day, you can feel it
>Right now you are with spike practicing some fun spells that he asked you to do
>It has been a fun morning but you got to do some small chores, you could have spike do them since he is your number one assistant but you think he has earned a rest
>You can visit your friends along the way
>As you are about to leave something weird happens, you get a feeling of uneasiness, like you are fogetting something...

>Anon!, Of course! 
>These past couple or months have been relatively paceful, no new threats, no weird pinkie shenanigans and your friendship reports have been on point every week
>That being said, there was one thing that got your attention
>Anon, your friend has been feeling under the weather lately
>And by lately you mean for more than a month now
>He was having a rough time assimilating his situation
>He was stuck here
>Before our last asking sessions ended he just asked one more thing

>"Can you send me home?"
>At first, you said "Sure, just give me time and im sure ill eventually find a way to send you home"
>Looking back you should have been more realistic
>After months of trying spells, reading books and asking your mentor you couldnt even begin to even understand where Anon came from
>He didn't took the truth very well
>After you came forward and explained that he would be staying here indefinitely, thats when something about him changed
>Something was... Off...
>Everything seemed normal at first but he started avoiding going out, meeting his friends, doing pretty much anything
>Now he spends most of his time in his room, just thinking, maybe
>you cant blame him and you dont, thats why you are giving him space
>Honestly you dont know what to do, nopony had ever acted like this before that you knew
>This is way beyond you friendship knowledge!
>The closest you thini you have seen a pony act like anon was pinkie when she went all pinkamena, and even that only lasted the evening!
>Youll have to do something eventually....


Anon, im leaving! I have errands to do and ill be gone from a while, there is food on the kitchen from this morning so eat up!
>You shout from the door at towards the stairs, hoping that anon heard it
>You didnt hear anything back

So, uhm ill get going bye!
>As you leave you only have one thing in your mind now
>How are you gonna help your friend

------hours later------

>The day is almost over
>You cant believe it took you this long to do everything on the list, 3 hours tops
>Then again, you somehow managed to spend some quality time with all you friends today
>It was a good day, tho you could shake anon out of your head
>It didnt helped that every so often when talking with your friends they would mention anon
>It wouldnt be bad if it wasnt for the fact that every time they would talk it was about how worried they are about him
>Guess you arent the only one
>Pinkie was specially concerned
>It was basically all we talked about
>Other than that the day went like a normal day

Spiiiiiike in hoooome! Spike?
>"Oh hey twilight, took you some time doing them chores? Guess it wasnt as easy as i make them look huh?
>You chuckled a bit at his teasing

Yeah, i guess i should value my number 1 assistant more right spike? 
>You said it without any sarcasm

>"Eh..... Its nothing really hehe..."
>He blushed a little, how cute

Anyways, how's anon? What did the big fella did today?
>"Ehm.... Not much, in fact, nothing at all really"
So he just stayed in his room?
>"Yeah, he didnt even came down to eat or day hi! I even went and knocked but he didnt said a word so i leave him alone"
>You have that feeling again
