Lullaby for a Lost Moth Part 2

>You're lying awake thinking about what has just transpired.
>A new species of pony is currently sleeping in you house.
>Is sleeping on your wall.
>You look over at Sen once again.
>She's about four feet off the floor, softly glowing on the wall.
>Huh, bioluminescence. Who'd have thunk it?
>And she's homeless.
>There has to be a reason this happened.
>Some… Higher being fucking with you.
>You enjoy your peaceful life.
>No huge adventures. Just working day to day around Ponyville.
>Odd jobs usually, but they pay the bill.
>The sun is starting to shine in through the prism in your window, casting hundreds of rainbows throughout the room.
>Padding into your bathroom you make a list of the things you will need to do today.
>First. Gotta check some shit with Twilight.
>Second. Gotta buy some shit for the trip.
>Third. Gotta plan this thing. Don't want to just rush in without thinking.
>Finishing up with the daily SSS, you make your way to the kitchen.
>Sen is still asleep on the wall.
>It's freaking adorable.
>Breakfast is nothing too fancy. Just eggs, pancakes and hash browns.
>Heat up the oven a little bit to keep Sen's food warm.
>As you eat you get some more time to think.
>About the promise you made to Sen.
>What exactly were you thinking?
>Seriously, you have no idea what compelled you to help this random stranger.
>It was just, the way she looked.
>So… lost.
>Just like...
>…Best not to think about those kind of things.
>Now just gotta pass the time until Sen gets up.
>When in doubt.
>You pad into the next room and sit down at your piano.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoJP-iZYPmk
>You let your fingers run lightly across the keys.
>Slowly working the melody.
>Flowing around the room.
>A feeling of quiet bliss overtakes you.
>That feeling of calm.
>Of contentment.
>The world around you fades out, leaving just you and your friend.
>Making music.
>"That sounds really good."
>The sudden sound causes you to jump roughly 4 feet into the air and 2 feet backward.
>You topple over, sliding across the hardwood floor to stop at the feet of Sen.
>"Ohmygosh are you okay?"
"Owwwwww."
>Gonna have some serious road rash from that.
>You tilt your head up to look at the intruder.
>She's looking down at you, mild concern painted on her face.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. There's food in the oven for you."
>She looks relieved as she turns and trots into the kitchen.
>You turn around with a sigh and replace the piano bench where it needs to be and close the lid on the piano.
"Later on bud."
>Walking into the kitchen reveals quite a sight.
>Sen is trying to get the plate out of the oven without touching the oven itself.
>And failing miserably.
"Uh, having problems?"
>She looks at you with pleading eyes.
>"It's hot."
>You look at the setting on the oven.
>125º
>That isn't very hot.
>You walk over to the oven and grab the plate.
>Setting it on the table you turn to the oven.
>Flip it off and close the door.
>Sen's already halfway through the pancakes.
>Damn she can eat.
>"So Anon. What're we gonna do today."
>You sit down at the table across from her and begin to explain the plan.
"Well first, we need to go talk to Twilight. She's gonna want to know about you and I need to know some things about the Everfree."
>"What things?"
"Well… Stuff like edible plants and dangerous creatures. And I want to know if she's ever heard of that cave you mentioned."
"I also want to pick up a few supplies. A couple of tinderboxes, some freeze-dried food, a new lamp, you know, the necessities."
>You used to do a lot of camping before you came here.
>In fact, it was on a camping trip in Canada that you found the portal to Equestria.
>Purely by accident of course.
>You had your backpack with you when you fell through and just got lucky that it was mid day.
>Damned if any of these ponies had ever heard of a polyester tent.
>If only you had gotten to tell her…
"I also need to get some more rope."
>"What for?"
"You never know when you're gonna need some rope."
>It really was true.
>Sen's almost finished with her food now, better wrap this up quickly.
"And one more thing. I want to gather as much knowledge on Mothponies as possible. You didn't really explain much last night."
>"Sorry about that, I just don't know a whole lot myself."
>Well that couldn't be helped.
>But there has to have been someone out there who knows something.
>And you're not going into this unprepared.
>Last time you did that, you ended up stuck in another universe.
>You watch Sen finish up her food then you take the plate and set it in the sink.
>Grabbing you backpack you walk to the door.
"Come on Sen, let's get going.
