It is a peaceful day in Ponyville as Twilight with Spike on her back was walking along with (Y/N) telling him about her slumber party with Applejack and Rarity.

So that's what happened at your first slumber party?

Yeah, Rarity and Applejack got into a huge argument, but they soon set aside their differences and worked everything out in the end so we could all have a good time with each other.

Now that I think about it, Applejack is the more hard-working and stubborn type of pony while Rarity is kind of picky and hyper-organized, so I could see why they had a hard time getting along. Well like you said, they put aside their differences so I'm glad that you had a great slumber party with them.

Trust me, the tree was the most complicated part. I couldn't find out how to get rid of it in the Slumber 101 book.

(Y/N) rolled his eyes and smirked at Twilight.

You're so adorkable, Twilight.

Twilight blushed at little at that.

He called me both adorable and a dork. Wow, he's creative when it comes to flattery. T-Thanks (Y/N). Anyway, it's a beautiful day out today.

Rainbow Dash must have gotten up early for once and cleared all the clouds away.

Eh, I doubt it. But if she did then compliments to her for making it such a gorgeous day.

I bet all of Ponyville is going to be out enjoying the sunshine.

Uh. . . maybe not. It's quiet. . . too quiet at that.

Twilight noticed what (Y/N) was talking about as they all looked into town and nopony was around.

You're right. Where is everypony?

Is it some sort of pony holiday?

None that we know of.

Does my breath stink?

Spike checks his breath and let's out a small flame out of his mouth.

Not more than usual.

Is it. . . zombies?!

If it was zombies Spike then we would already have a ton around us already and besides, zombies aren't real.

Okay, so what is it then?

Beats me. I've flown over Ponyville so many times that I know that it's not this quiet during the day.

Psst!

Huh?

Somepony called out to Twilight, (Y/N), and Spike as they all looked around until they saw Pinkie inside Sugarcube Corner calling out to them.

Twilight! Spike! (Y/N)! Come here! Come! Here! Hurry! Before she get's you!

The three followed Pinkie inside of Sugarcube Corner with Pinkie closing the door afterwards, making the entire room dark until Pinkie takes out a lantern.

Who?! The zombie pony?

Z-Zombie pony?!

Spike! There are no zombie ponies. Pinkie, what are you doing here alone in the dark?

I'm not alone in the dark.

Pinkie moved the blinds covering the window, allowing some light into the room, revealing the other members of the Mane 7 along with Apple Bloom surprising Twilight and (Y/N). Apple Bloom is a tiny little filly with brilliant gamboge eyes, a pale, light grayish olive goat, a brilliant amaranth mane and tail, and a light crimson bow on her head. She also doesn't have her Cutie Mark yet.

Okay then, what are you all doing here in the dark?

Is this a huge game of hide and seek? Count me in!

This ain't no game of hide and seek (Y/N)! We're hidin' from her!

Applejack points outside the window to where everypony looks to see a pony wearing a dark brown cloak with the hood up who is digging at the ground. Everypony looks at the hooded pony who glances at them with yellow eyes.

The Mane 5 then quickly hid from the glance of the hooded pony while Twilight was annoyed and (Y/N) was confused.

Did ya see her Twilight? Did ya see her (Y/N)? Did you see. . . Zecora?

Apple Bloom! I told you never to say that name.

Well, I saw her glance this way. . .

Glance evilly this way.

Evilly? That didn't seem. . . evil. Just a bit suspicious.

. . .And then a bunch of you flip out for no good reason.

No good reason? You call protectin' yer kin no good reason? Why, as soon as my sister saw Zecora ridin' into town, she started shakin' in her lil' horseshoes.

Did not!

So I swept her up and brought her here.

I walked here mahself!

For safe keepin'.

Applejack, I'm not a baby! I can take care of myself!

Not from that creepy Zecora.

Seriously Applejack? You're being overprotective.

Thank you (Y/N)! Applejack's always thinking I can't look after myself! I'm a filly, not a baby!

Besides what's so creepy about Zecora anyways? She doesn't seem abnormal to me.

She's mysterious.

Sinister.

And spoooooky!

(Y/N) and Twilight looked at each other and rolled their eyes before looking outside the window with everyone else joining in soon after. They all looked to see Zecora pull the hood of her robe down, revealing her mane which is in stripes which makes everypony gasp, but Twilight and (Y/N) as they were both annoyed.

Will you cut that out?

Just look at those stripes! So garish!

What are you talking about? Rainbow Dash's mane has stripes too.

Hey! Not cool! This is more about Zecora, not us!

And speaking of her, I feel like I've seen that kind of mane before.

You must have, because she's a Zebra.

A what?!

Like she said, a Zebra. I've looked in a book about Zebras actually and surprisingly Zecora's one. Never thought I would see one with my own eyes.

And her stripes aren't a fashion choice Rarity, they're what she was born with.

Rarity then faints dramatically and (Y/N) rolls his eyes.

*sarcastically* Drama queen.

Hey!

Born where? I've never seen a pony like that in these parts, 'cept. . . her!

We can both shed some information on that since we know about Zebras.

First off, she's not from her and she's not a pony.

Zebras come from a faraway land. Most likely Saddle Arabia. And they actually experts in making potions.

Evil potions?

What?! No! The potions that they create are to help with anypony that has a dire sickness that probably some nurses here in Ponyville can't cure.

Okay, then why is Zecora here then?

Beats me. Maybe she's looking for some ingredients in the area.

I've never seen Zecora around in Ponyville. Where does she live?

That's just it, she lives in. . . the Everfree Forest!

Suddenly a loud boom that sounded like a thunderclap startled everypony, but it came from the kitchen as it was just Spike who snuck into the kitchen to grab a candy cane and cupcake.

Spike!

Uh, sorry.

The Everfree Forest just ain't natural. The plants grow. . .

Animals care for themselves. . .

And the clouds move. . .

All on their own!

Rarity then faints dramatically again which started to annoy (Y/N).

Seriously? You all are a bunch of drama queens today.

HEY!

Besides, don't you all remember when I told you about Earth. My old home. Everything you just clearly explained happens there, and it's all perfectly fine.

Apple Bloom got interested into hearing about (Y/N)'s old home, Earth.

Really (Y/N)? Your world don't use magic to control the weather, to grow plants or to help take care of animals?

That's right Apple Bloom. Sometimes back when I was human, I used to grow a lot of flowers, and day and night isn't controlled by any rulers like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. I would give a whole explanation on how it works, but it would probably take too long.

Can you please tell me all about Earth sometime (Y/N)?

Apple Bloom said this with curiosity as she had sparkles in her eyes. (Y/N) just chuckled and ruffled her mane.

Sure Apple Bloom. Maybe some other time. So anyway, I think I may go give a quick hello to our visiting Zebra.

(Y/N) was just about to head out the door, but Pinkie blocked his path from the door.

You can't! She's evil!

And how exactly is that a fact?

Um. . .

Ugh! Seriously?! Zecora is no different from me as we both came from not-well-known places.

Yes but. . .

Do any of you have any full proof that she's even evil?

Well. . .

You all are being ridiculous. All of you are believing your own gossip to someone you haven't even met before.

(Y/N) is right. You are all judging her without getting to know her or seeing any proof that she is evil. Now what does Zecora do exactly?

Well. . . once a month, she comes into Ponyville.

*sarcastically* Oooooh!

Then she lurks by the store.

*sarcastically* Oh wow. That's scary!

And then, she digs at the ground.

*sarcastically* Good gracious! Okay, I'm sorry, but how is any of this bad? Maybe she just comes to town to visit.

Yeah! Maybe she's just tryin' to be neighbourly.

She also possibly be finding some rare ingredients for her health potions I was talking about.

See? (Y/N) has a point. And besides even if she was evil, (Y/N) has magic to probably handle her just fine.

True. And as you all said, she comes her each month and apparently by the looks of everything here in Ponyville, she doesn't seem to do anything hostile at all.

Huh? Now that I think about it. You two do have a good point.

What? You agree with them Rainbow Dash?

Well, yeah think about it. She's never really damaged Ponyville in anyway. And if she did, (Y/N) could deal with it.

She's probably planning somethin' as we speak though.

Applejack might be right! She could have some huge evil plot up her sleeve and we don't even know about it. She's so evil I even wrote a song about her!

I swear to Celestia if any of you say anything about Zecora being evil one more time. . .

Pinkie interrupted (Y/N) and started to sing her song that she made.

(Y/N) was surprised to how much that song judged Zecora. . . and he lost it. He got so angry that his (F/C) aura glowed all around his body.

ENOUGH!

(Y/N) then used his aura to push everyone across the room up to the walls as he gave a glare to each of them that could kill.

NONE OF YOU ARE MAKING ANY SENSE! YOU ALL NEVER BOTHERED TO EVEN MEET ZECORA AND YOU ARE TREATING LIKES IT DIFFERENT FROM ME!

Everyone in the room was so scared by (Y/N)'s anger that they all planted themselves to the wall. Twilight then noticed that (Y/N)'s pupils were glowing (F/C), his aura was darker than usual, and small streams of magic energy was randomly coming out of him.

I WAS FORCED FROM MY HOME ON EARTH! I HAD TO LIVE THERE FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS ALONE WITH MY ONLY MOTHER AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE FRIEND! ONCE I CAME HERE, YOU ALL WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN HOOVES, BUT NOW YOU'RE SHUNNING SOMEONE ELSE. WHY WOULD YOU ALL DO THAT?!?!

(Y/N)! Your body!

(Y/N) heard Twilight as he looked and see that his aura was darker than usual which surprised him as he instantly calmed down.

What the?

(Y/N) regained his composure, but he still had a serious look on his face as he walks to the door.

I'm going to meet Zecora. And if I die, just ditch me! You all seem good at that!

(Y/N) stormed out of Sugarcube Corner as the Mane 6 were in complete shock from (Y/N)'s outburst. Fluttershy started to sob a little which makes Rarity comfort her a little and she started to sob as well.

I-I've never seen (Y/N) so angry before.

I-I-I never knew that he didn't have any friends back on Earth or he was living with only his mother for his entire life.

Pinkie said this in a sad tone as her usual poofy mane deflated a tiny bit.

You know what? (Y/N) is right.

The rest of the mares look at Twilight as she was also angry at them.

(Y/N) was at first a human on Earth and when he told us, none of you especially me judged him for it. Now you're all treating Zecora like she's way different from how (Y/N) was and just believing that every little thing she does is evil. And after hearing that he never had any friends his whole life until now, how does that tell how he thinks you all feel about him?

Now Twilight, this is different.

Is it Applejack?! Do you remember what (Y/N) told us about his previous life before coming here and how he lost his mother to send him back here to Equestria? He couldn't ever have friends due to others finding out about his magic and getting it exposed across Earth. He had to have been lonely for living that kind of life. He only had his mother to rely on and now she's. . . *sighs* my point is that all of you accusing Zecora of being evil doesn't make any sense if you all have (Y/N) as your friend.

Twilight then heads to the door.

Twilight, where are you going?

After (Y/N) and away from all of you. After hearing what he said earlier, I want to make sure he's okay and doesn't do anything drastic. If you all really consider (Y/N) your friend, then you would all listen to what he says more seriously.

Twilight leaves Sugarcube Corner to follow (Y/N), leaving the rest of the Mane 7 to feel awful about themselves. What they didn't know however, is that Apple Bloom also snuck out to follow them.

. . .Maybe we were all wrong about this. I mean (Y/N) and Twilight both have a point. We never bothered to even get to know or heck, even talk to Zecora. We can't just call her out instantly for being evil.

Now don't go sayin' that Rainbow. Zecora is bad news, I can tell.

How Applejack? How? Are you even listening to what you are saying right now? You heard (Y/N) and Twilight and their both right and yet you still believe Zecora is evil?

I-I'm just trying to look out for Apple Bloom.

I get that she's your little sister Applejack, but you're being overprotective of her.

I agree with (Y/N), Twilight, and Rainbow Dash.

What?! You too, Fluttershy?!

Y-Yes and (Y/N) went through a lot in his life before Equestria and I don't want him to be angry with me. He's right about us being mean to Zecora and I don't want to be seen as somepony mean.

Yeah me too! I don't want to make (Y/N) feel bad and I don't him to see us as some meanie-mean pants!

You as well Pinkie Pie?!

(Y/N) said that he lost his mother and he wanted to make great friends! So I want to be the bestest friend he could ever ask for!

Well. . . I suppose I may have overreacted when I saw Zecora's stripes.

Not you as well, Rarity.

Sorry Applejack, but (Y/N) is right. It's rather unfair to judge Zecora when I haven't even said a single hello to her.

B-B-But I'm telling you everypony. She's evil. She's got to be.

Oh, Celestia Applejack. You are being super stubborn right now! Why can't you just put aside your pride and admit that you're wrong?

Rainbow Dash is right Applejack. You need to stop believing everything that you believe is an instant yes.

I mean come on, like he said, she really hasn't done anything to even harm Ponyville.

I-I'm just to look out for my friends and family like Apple Bloom. She's still a filly and-

Applejack then notices that Apple Bloom isn't around to be seen anywhere.

Hey! Where's Apple Bloom?

Everypony then looked around and they didn't see Apple Bloom anywhere.

She might've went outside while you all were arguing.
