IIt makes you happy to see her this exited. As you put on your sneakers she prances into the hallway, actually she is hoovering a bit over the ground. "You should get ready too, Tia. You donīt want to leave the house as a horse, donīt you?" >She stops in her track. "Oh, yeah of course, anon. Sorry, Iīm so exited that I almost forgot." >the now familiar flash of light angulfs her and now she stands there again as the tall gorgeous woman she disguised herself as yesterday., She wears a similar outfit as yesterday, only with a light tan jacket and a black purse. "Iīm ready anon."- "All right then. >You open the door and both of you step into the hall way. >Celly looks around with an expression of suprise and amazement. She looks at the scratchy linolium at her feet, at the flickering neon lights on the ceiling and at the dirty walls. You are a bit ashamed that you live in such a shitty apartment block, but Celly doesnīt mind, she soaks it all in as you two walk to the elevator. She oohs at the rumbeling movement of the old life and chuckles at the horrible sharpie grafitties on the elevator walls. She looks amazed at the dusty hydroculture plants in the lobby and as you leave the building she aahs in amazement. Its a sunny but cold spring day. You stand in front of your apartment block, one of the smaller ones of the blocks in a rather shitty settlement in the northern part of F-city. Everything is concrete in different shades of grey, there is a small playground in one of the corners of the small square, where children havent been playing in years, its dirty and there are broken beer bottles everywhere, yet Celly looks around full of wonder. >This is going to be a long day.... >You walk from your apartment block to the metro station. Its about 10 am, there are no people around since most people are at school or at work. You have a few days off from work, so you have enpough time for Celly and her discovery of human land. As you walk through a small park you notice that the more you move away from your apartment, the more nervous Celly appears. >Suddely a Police helicopter flies low over your heads, rushes past like a giant ugly metal insect. >Celly lets out a shriek and jumps to the ground. >You look at her dumbfolded. "That.. was just a helicopter." - "I...I know. I saw those machines on TV and sometimes outside of the window, flying past. I just startled me." >You chuckle. "It startled you?" She snaps at you angrily. "Yes. It startled me! Sorry, about that, but my species evolved from the type of skittish flight animals that your ancestors killed with rocks and sticks to eat them!" >You are a quite shocked by that outburst. "Geez, Iīm sorry, I...I didnīt mean to make fun of you!" >She sighs. "No, I am sorry anon." >You look ar her worried -"Tia, are you okay?" -"I donīt know if I can do that, Anon. Frankly, I am nervous. No, not nervous, I am scared. Almost as scared as I am exited. I really want to learn about your world and your people at first hoof, butI donīt know if I am up to it. What if my disguise fails? What if I fumble again and use magic? I was able to handle your parents, but a city in nwhich hundrets, maybe thousands of humans live? Thats something different." -"Actually there are almost 2.5 million people living in this city with its suburbs, close to 6 million if you count the larger metropolitain..." >You stop your stupid blabbering mouth as you see that she grows pale and her eyes are widening in shock. "So many humans in ONE city...?!?! All of Equestria has a population of 1-2 million ponies!" -"Its okay. Look, who are you?" -"Come again?" -"Who. Are. You." -"I..am Princess Celestia?!?" - "You are Princess fucking Celestia. The ruler of Equestria. You have been around for centuries and are one oof the most powerfull magical beings in your world and THE single most powerfull magical being in this world. You are charismatic and intelligent. You singlehanded defeated the monsters that are my parents. I have no doubt that there is anything in this world that you cannot handle! >You reach her your hand. "Also, you have me by your side. So are we going to do this or what?" >Tia looks at you and then she smiles. "Yes. Of course. Thank you, Anon. Sometimes even somebody like me needs a friend. And Iīm thankfull to have a friend like you by my side." >as you walk down to the Metro station you notice that she eased up much, she is not as giddy and curious as before. As you tap in on the touch screen of the ticket machine you see allready the train approaching. >You give Celly a crooked smile. "Donīt worry, thats just a train." >She returns your grin. "I know, we do have those in Equestria, Our designs are a bit less... utilitarian, thou." >You board the almost empty train and sit down on the plastic seats. Its a while to the city center, the train runs at first through the urban wasteland of flatbock settlements, suburban officeparks, industral zones and commercial areas. You take that route almost every day to work and back, usually you listen to Pink Floyd or something. Celestia looks out of the window and is mesmerized by the urban sprawl. >You lean over to her. "Here comes the money shot" >The train rushes past an Ikea onto a bridge over a motorway, giving view to the downtown of F-city down in the valley, the skyscrapers with their glass, aluminium and sandstone facades stand proudly in the middle of the sprawling chaos around them. This view is beautyfull in its ugliness, but also brief, since as soon as the train has passed the bridge the skyline dissapears again behind a factory for missle guidiance systems. "It is amazing." Celly looks at you "This is what fascinates me about your species, Anon. You did all this without any magic. Just your hands and brains. This is all you have and yet you created amazing marvels in science, technology, arts, medicine and philosophy. At the same time humans comitted unspeakable artrocities in their history. Evils Equestrians couldnīt even dream of in their worst nightmares. I donīt really know what to think of you humans..." >She is silent again and looks out of the window again.
