	My hand met with her soft furry hoof, my heart melted. “What are you doing here?” I asked. She lowered her eyebrows. “What do you mean?” She responded as she pulled her hoof from my hand. “I mean, how is this possible?” She looked at the ground, then at me. Her eyes glistened. “I honestly can’t answer that question, I don’t know myself.” Her eyes began to tear up. “I really have no memory from before I got here” she continued. She leapt towards me and hugged my thigh and began to cry. I didn’t know really what to do. I’ve never been in the situation where I had to comfort a pony. I decided a comforting hug might help, so I knelt down and embraced her hug. She rested her head on my shoulder and sobbed harder. “it’s okay.” I told her. “You can stay with me for a while.” Her sobs stopped. I felt the hugs embrace getting lighter. She finally pulled back. “Really?” she wiped her eyes with her hoof. “Even though you just met me?” She stared me in the eyes. It would take a cruel heart to make this pony sad. “Of course, I’ve always loved ponies just like you!” She gave me an odd look but shrugged it off. 

As I took her to the guest bedroom the realization of what was really going on hit me. There is a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic… Here! With me! I couldn’t help but to show a big goofy smile on my face. This was amazing! “So this is where you will be sleeping.” I told her as I opened the door. She walked past me and hopped on the bed and sat down. “Ooh this is comfy!” She began hopping on the bed in excitement. “Oh, Nick?” she stopped hopping. “Yes?” She sat down and stretched her back. “Thanks for letting me stay.” I smiled. “You’re welcome dear.” She went under the covers and popped her head out. “Goodnight.” She said before yawning. “Goodnight Star Shine.” I said quietly. I flipped the light switch, and closed the door, Letting the little pony get some sleep.

I looked at my watch; it was 1:30am. I chuckled to myself as I headed to my room.  My mind was still racing. “Star Shine, what a beautiful pony!” How was this happening? There must be some scientific explanation for this, yet I didn’t question it. I got into my bed and got comfortable, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I awoke as a loud crack of lightning struck nearby. It was freezing, but there was something warm next to me. I look and saw a black and red mane snuggled up close to my side. She must have gotten scared. Star Beam was so cute when she was asleep.  I put the blanket over her to warm her up. She stirred and squeaked as she buried her muzzle into my side. At this point in time, I was truly happy.
