*The next morning, Mezmo was fast asleep in Twilight's guest bed with his cat, Salem, snoozing on his lap. Twilight, who was just getting up, noticed this and smiled*

Twilight: Aww… *gets out of bed as quietly as she can and tip-hoofs away* Don't want to disturb them. *goes out the front door*

*Twilight trotted outside to check on Nikola and Lian, only to find that the two of them were already awake. Nikola was working on some strange device with a glass bulb and a hand crank, while Lian practiced her tai chi*

Nikola: Alright, let's see how well this one works. *begins to turn the hand crank and the bulb begins to glow as his eyes widen in excitement* Yes… YES!!! *the bulb bursts* No!

Lian: Burnt out again?

Nikola: It popped this time, like an overfed tick.

Lian: Ugh… You could've used a less disgusting description.

Twilight: *trots up to the two* Good morning Lian, Nikola.

Lian: *sees Twilight* Oh! Good morning, Twilight.

Nikola: *looks at the sky* It's morning already?

Twilight: Yeah, it is. How long have the two of you been awake?

Lian: I've only been awake for a few minutes. I'm just doing my morning exercises.

Nikola: I only sleep three hours a night.

Twilight: *giggles* You sound like Owlowiscious, my helper owl.

Nikola: Yes, well, I figured it would be a great way to add an extra twenty years to my life, give or take.

Lian: And he devotes those extra years to his work.

Twilight: *eyes widen* Yikes!

Nikola: So…where's Mezmo?

Twilight: He's still in bed, I didn't have the heart to wake him, especially with that little cat of his asleep on his lap.

Lian: Yes, his cat is very cute.

Nikola: Yeah, but I've heard him talking to it before in a manner that almost seems like he expects a response.

Lian: Well, a wizard needs his familiar.

*Just then, a slight whistling noise was heard that confused everyone as the started looking around for the source of the noise*

Nikola: *raises an eyebrow* Did someone leave the kettle on?

Lian: That doesn't sound like tea.

*Just then, something crashed to the ground and made every jump back a few feet. There stood a grey Pegasus mare with a blonde mane and tail, a bunch of bubbles for a cutie mark, and a wall eyed expression*

Nikola: *sarcastically* Wow… Nice landing.

Ditzy: Mail! *holds up a letter with a green wax seal in her mouth*

Nikola: I'll take that. *takes the letter*

Ditzy: Have a nice day, Mr. funny-looking thing. *does a back flip and flies off into the sky*

Twilight: *raises an eyebrow* There is something very wrong with that pony…

Nikola: *examines the letter* It appears to be for you, Lian.

Lian: Really? How can you tell?

Nikola: *show Lian the wax seal, which was a circle with a scorpion in the middle* It has your family's crest.

Lian: Oh dear…

Twilight: *eyes widen* Her family's crest is a scorpion?

Nikola: There's an interesting story behind it, but that's for another time. *hands Lian the letter*

Lian: Well I guess we should see what it is. *opens the letter and reads it* It's from my father… He's demanding I come back to Mareheim to meet another possible suitor.

Twilight: Suitor? Like…a fiancé?

Lian: Yes, he's been trying to get me to go along with arranged marriage junk since I was little. He says I'm too willful about it.

Twilight: *narrows her eyebrows* Of all the nerve!!

Nikola: Well, you've never met Lian's father. He is a VERY terrifying man. Because of her family's history involving scorpions, as well as his intimidating appearance and nature, they call him "The Scorpion Emperor."

Twilight: *rolls her eyes* Oh please! I've faced down a manticore, an Ursa Minor, a hydra, a cockatrice, two fire breathing dragons, Cerberus, a whole horde of changelings, and an evil black cloud! This guy doesn't sound so scary to me.

Lian: Trust me, Twilight, if you ever see him, you won't be saying the same thing.

*Just then, the sound of high pitched whistles could be heard from inside the library, followed by a shout of frustration from Mezmo*

Nikola: Oh good, Mezmo's up.

Lian: We can start moving his things now.

*Mezmo then came walking out from the library, looking rather exhausted and cleaning out his right ear with his pinkie*

Nikola: So, dear friend, are you ready to start moving?

Mezmo: Sure… Once the ringing in my ears has stopped.

*A little while later, Lian was lifting heavy pieces of furniture into Mezmo's new cottage. Mezmo helped by using his magic to move a few things as well. Nikola, however, just sat and worked on his device, while Twilight just stood there, watching with her mouth agape*

Twilight: Wow! That's amazing! Mezmo's levitation spell is nice and Lian's strength is beyond comprehension.

Nikola: Yes, well, I have a few theories on why Lian is so strong. Possibly a rare disorder that resulted in extra dense muscle cells, which would explain why she doesn't have like huge bulging biceps, triceps, and whatnot. As for Mezmo… Well, I believe that most of his problems with magic could be more psychological than anything else.

Twilight: Pretty good theory, Nikola.

Mezmo: How much is left to put inside?

Lian: Looks like it's just your bed, your dresser and your bookshelves left.

Mezmo: Cool. I'll get 'em. *points his baton at his bed, dresser, and bookshelves* Wingardium Leviosa. *the spell causes them to levitate into the house* At least THAT spell I can get right… Sometimes.

*While this was going on, everyone was watched from afar by three fillies. One was a little yellow earth filly with a red mane and a large pink ribbon in her mane. The second one was an orange Pegasus filly with a wild violet mane. The third and final filly was a little white unicorn with a light lavender colored mane*

Apple Bloom: There they are. I told ya'll they looked strange.

Scootaloo: What are they?

Sweetie Bell: My sister says they're called humans and that the girl one has a lot of her dresses.

Scootaloo: Really? Your sister made dresses for her? How does that work?

Sweetie Bell: I don't know, but my sister says it's always a pleasure working for them.

Apple Bloom: Ya think they're dangerous?

Scootaloo: I don't know, but I did see the girl one lift a whole sofa over her head.

Nikola: Oookay, maybe if these bulbs had stronger filaments… Or would adding a resistor to this circuit help? *rubs his chin while thinking, then suddenly notices the Cutie Mark Crusaders* Fillies?

Mezmo: Huh?

Nikola: Fillies, over there, three of them. *points at the Cutie Mark Crusaders*

Mezmo: *looks and sees the three fillies* Oh! Hello there! *waves at the Cutie Mark Crusaders*

*The Cutie Mark Crusaders quickly ducked out the way when Mezmo greeted them*

Apple Bloom: They saw us!

Sweetie Bell: What are we going to do now?

Scootaloo: Well, I'm not scared, 'cause I know Rainbow Dash wouldn't be.

Apple Bloom: Then why'd ya duck outta the way too?

Scootaloo: Umm…

Mezmo: Hey, it's okay. Come on over, don't be afraid.

Scootaloo: I'm not afraid!

Nikola: Then why are you hiding?

*Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell giggled while Scootaloo just pouted*

Mezmo: Okay, I'll just make them come over here. *points his baton at the three fillies* Wingardium Leviosa!

*The three fillies were dumbfounded as they lifted off the ground and floated over to Mezmo and the others, landing on the ground with a little thud*

Twilight: Oh, it's just the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Nikola: *raises an eyebrow* Cutie Mark Crusaders?

Apple Bloom: That's right, we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!

Scootaloo: We're on a quest to find our cutie marks and our true purpose in life!

Sweetie Bell: Yeah and… And…what they said!

Lian: Aww… They are so cute! *runs up and starts hugging the three fillies*

Mezmo: Don't mind Lian, she likes to hug cute things.

Scootaloo: *struggles to get free* Well, this is just embarrassing.

Sweetie Bell: I don't know, I kinda like it.

Apple Bloom: Ya mind puttin' us down, ma'am?

Lian: Ooh, but I don't want to!

Mezmo: Remember yesterday with Fluttershy…

Lian: Oh, okay. *lets go of the fillies*

Nikola: So, you three are searching for your cutie marks? How does that work?

Apple Bloom: We try everything we can to find our special hidden talents.

Scootaloo: Like recently, we tried to be candy sales ponies.

Sweetie Bell: But our homemade toffee tasted awful and no pony wanted to buy any.

Mezmo: Did you ever try using your OWN talents?

Apple Bloom: Well, we're trying to figure out what they are first.

Mezmo: Are you sure any of you aren't good at something already?

Scootaloo: Well, if we did know what our talents are, we'd have our cutie marks already.

Nikola: I don't pretend to know how the science behind the "cutie mark" works, but I don't think it works that way.

Scootaloo: Pfft! Says you! Come on, crusaders, maybe our special talent is water skiing!

Sweetie Bell: Or maybe it involves whatever this thing is. *points at Nikola's device*

Nikola: My generator?

Apple Bloom: What does it do?

Nikola: Oh! Well, you see, this hand crank here spins a tightly wrapped coil of copper wire around some magnets. The pull of the magnets will force the electrons in the conductive copper wire to move along a circuit and generate an electrical current.

Scootaloo: Really? *grabs a hold of the crank with her teeth* Like this? *begins to turn the crank really fast*

Nikola: Wait, not that fast! You're going to--

*Suddenly, sparks began to fly as the generator completely shorted out*

Scootaloo: Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to break it… Are you mad?

Nikola: *takes a deep breath* 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679 8214808651 3282306647 0938446095 5058223172 5359408128…

Lian: Oh dear, he's reciting pi.

Twilight: What does that mean?

Mezmo: It's what he does when he gets upset, like when someone counts to ten to try and cool down…except this just lasts longer.

Lian: I once saw him do it for three days straight.

Apple Bloom: Um… I think we should get going. Maybe we COULD try water skiing.

Sweetie Bell: Or better yet, flower arranging.

*The Cutie Mark Crusaders ran off as fast as they could while Nikola continued to recite the never-ending decimal*

Mezmo: You know, it's strange. I told them how to get their cutie marks…but it's like my advice went through one ear, and out the other.

Twilight: They're just little fillies. They don't understand how these things work yet. Trust me, I've tried explaining it to them myself, too.

Lian: They didn't listen to you either, huh?

Twilight: No, but I'm confident they'll get it someday... I hope.

Mezmo: *looks at Nikola* It's okay, Nikola, they're gone.

Nikola: 4406566430 8602139494 6395224737 1907021798 6094370277 0539217176 2931767523 8467481846 7669405132 0005681271 4526356082 7785771342 7577896091 7363717872 1468440901 2249534301 4654958537 1050792279 6892589235 4201995611 2129021960 8640344181 5981362977 4771309960 5187072113 4999999837 2978049951 0597317328 1609631859 5024459455 3469083026 4252230825 3344685035 2619311881 7101000313 7838752886 5875332083 8142061717 7669147303 5982534904 2875546873 1159562863 8823537875 937… *takes another deep breath* Okay, much better.

Mezmo: So, when's Pinkie's welcome party?

Twilight: That all depends on when she decides to throw it. And knowing Pinkie Pie, it will be when you least expect it.

Mezmo: Then I'd better be on my toes.

*Mezmo opened the door as he and everyone else walked inside the cottage. It was dark, aside from the light coming in the open doorway which quickly closed behind them. As soon as the lights came on, everyone was greeted with the sight of tons of ponies all gathered together*

Ponies: SURPRISE!!!

Mezmo: *eyes widen* WAAAAHHHH!!!! *falls over backwards*

*Just then, Pinkie Pie appeared with a box on wheels. It was a pink wagon with small balloon insignias on each side, matching Pinkie's cutie mark. She immediately pressed the button on the side, which caused the dome of the wagon to open, revealing a small concession stand with baked goods and a small oven. Each side of the wagon also supported multiple flags and at least three horns playing music. Pinkie then hopped and danced around as the music played*

Pinkie: *singing* Welcome, welcome, welcome
A fine welcome to you
Welcome, welcome, welcome, I say how do you do?
Welcome, welcome, welcome
I say hip, hip hurray
Welcome, welcome, welcome to Ponyville today!

*Pinkie paused for a moment, as Mezmo and his friends looked at her and the wagon in surprise, wondering what would happen next*

Pinkie: Wait for it…

*The oven then burst open as a small cake flew out. Luckily, Mezmo caught it in time so it wouldn't make a mess all over him. Then, confetti burst out of the pipes from the wagon, as the whole room full of ponies cheered on*

Lian: Oh my!

Nikola: Wow! That was fast.

Twilight: Like I said, when you least expect it.

Pinkie: *hops over to Mezmo* You looked surprised. Were you surprised? Was it good surprise or bad surprise? I hope it was a really good surprise because I know I'd be super duper surprised if I were you.

Mezmo: *cleans out his ear* What?

Pinkie: I said… *suddenly gets pulled away* Whoa!

Applejack: *stops pulling Pinkie's tail* What she means to say is, are you happy to see the party all ready for ya?

Mezmo: Well… I AM surprised...

Pinkie: TERRIFFIC!!! *knocks off Mezmo's hat, replaces it with a party hat and sticks a party whistle in his mouth* Now that the guest of honor is here, IT'S A PARTY!!!

Mezmo: If you say so… *blows the party whistle*

Rainbow Dash: We just need to get this cottage bumping. Vinyl Scratch, put on a fresh beat!

*The DJ mare, Vinyl Scratch; a white unicorn pony with a blue mane and tail, sunglasses and a music note for a cutie mark put a record on her turn table and a wild dance music song started playing. This was every pony's cue to start dancing*

Twilight: Wow, Pinkie even got a DJ for your party! She spared no expense this time.

Pinkie: Well, it's not everyday I get to party with humans. I want it to be super duper special!!

Nikola: Ooh, this is my jam!!

Lian: I am enjoying this song as well. *starts moving to the beat* Care to join me, Nikola?

Nikola: Gladly. *starts dancing with Lian*

Mezmo: *smiles* Hey, don't leave me out of the fun! *gets up and puts the cake he was holding down on a table*

Nikola: We wouldn't dream of it, old friend.

*As the three were dancing, they shifted into different dance moves. At one point, Lian got between her two friends and bumped both of them with her hips, sending the two flying to opposing side of the room. Mezmo to the middle of the dance floor and Nikola into a tray of cupcakes*

Lian: Oops! Sorry!

Nikola: *takes a bite out of a cupcake that was on his head* Hmm… Chocolate, my favorite!

Lian: And how are you holding up, Mezmo? I forgot how powerful these hips can be.

Mezmo: Just peachy. *gets up* Hey everybody, you think Lian has got some dance moves? get a load of this! *does the moonwalk*

*The ponies all around Mezmo gasped and gossiped at the amazing sight*

Pony 1: How does he do that?

Pony 2: It must be a human thing.

Pony 3: Amazing.

Mezmo: It's called the moonwalk. Not everyone can do it though. Takes a lot of skill and a lot of practice in order to get it right. *spins around, stops and reaches for the sky with one hand* WHOO!!!

*The ponies watching clopped their hooves and cheered for Mezmo. While that was going on, four ponies, including Fluttershy, had gathered around Nikola while he explained a theory unheard of by ponies*

Nikola: So imagine all the mass and energy in the entire universe all smashed together into a single point. Everything that is and will ever be in one place and no bigger than a pea. Do you know what would happen?

*All the ponies leaned in to listen to what Nikola was about to say next*

Nikola: BOOM!!!

*The ponies then fell onto their backs with their hooves up in the air and shocked expressions on their faces*

Nikola: Ha! They faint like goats.

*Just then, a bleat was heard as Nikola turned to see a female goat with upset look on her face standing behind him*

Nikola: *looks embarrassed* Uh, I…meant no offense.

Goat: Humph!

Nikola: *to himself* Sheesh, gotta watch what I say around ungulates.

*Lian was also enjoying herself, displaying feats of strength for the ponies that cheered her on while she lifted a full bookcase in one hand and a sofa in the other. One of the ponies that was impressed by this feat was Applejack's brother, Big Macintosh; a tall, muscular stallion pony with red fur, orange mane and tail, white freckles, shiny yellow hooves, a large harness around his neck, and a large green half an apple as a cutie mark. Alongside him was Cheerilee, the school pony the gang had met the day before*

Cheerilee: *eyes widen* Oh my!

Big Macintosh: I've been pulling plows all my life, but I don't think I'd ever get THAT strong.

Lian: *bench pressing the bookcase* Where I come from, we've been training our bodies for years and years to the peak of perfection. There are those who can go far past those boundaries, but not likely in this lifetime.

*In the midst of it all, two young Earth pony fillies, who had been watching Lian lifting the bookcase with great ease, were talking amongst themselves. The supposed leader of the two, Diamond Tiara, had brilliant cornflower blue eyes, a pale, light grayish violet mane with white streaks and a coat of pale magenta. Much like her name, she had a Tiara for her Cutie Mark. Her best friend/follower, Silver Spoon, had grayish violet eyes, a cerulean-ish gray mane with cornflower bluish gray streaks, and a darker coat of cornflower bluish gray. Much like her name, she had a Silver Spoon with a pink heart on the handle for a Cutie Mark. Clearly, they were neither impressed nor were they pleased to see a human before their very eyes. As a matter of fact, they were rather stand offish*

Silver Spoon: *quietly* What a freak! *giggles*

Diamond Tiara: Yeah, Silver Spoon, like these human things weren't weird enough. *giggles*

Lian: *turns to the two fillies* You know, it's very rude to say something bad about a guest behind their back.

Diamond Tiara: Yeah? Well, who cares what you think? You humans are just stupid, hairless monkeys! *laughs with Silver Spoon*

*The very words from Diamond Tiara made Lian narrow her eyebrows in anger, lowering the pieces of furniture back on the floor so she can confront the bratty little filly*

Lian: What's your problem? What did humans ever do to you?

Diamond Tiara: *eyes widen* Help, help!! The big strong human's gonna hurt me!!

Lian: *eyes widen in shock* What?! I would never!

Silver Spoon: Mommy!!

Diamond Tiara: Somepony help us! *snickers to herself*

Lian: I haven't done anything!

Nikola: *walks over* Hey, hey, hey! What's going on over here?

Lian: These little fillies called me a hairless monkey and said I was going to hurt them.

Nikola: Now I know THAT isn't true.

Diamond Tiara: *accusingly points to Nikola* Liar! She threatened to throw that piece of furniture at us and you knew it!

Lian: I did not! I lifted some furniture for the amusement of others, but I never threw anything.

Pony 1: Leave those fillies alone!

Pony 2: Of all the nerve!

Pony 3: She's nothing but a big bully!

Nikola: Now hold on! I know Lian would never do something like that! She can forget how strong she is at times, but she'd never harm anything on purpose.

Pony 2: Humph! Of course he would defend her, he's just another human!

Nikola: Yes, I am human, but that has nothing to do with what is going on here. I've known Lian for years, ever since her family move to Mareheim. I know her a lot better then the rest of you!

*Soon, the whole cottage was filled with the sounds of ponies yelling negative things at Lian and Nikola. It was so loud, the music could barely be heard as Mezmo stopped dancing and saw that his friends were in trouble*

Mezmo: Hey! What's going on, why are they yelling at my friends?

Rarity: Lian was just showing off her strength when two fillies said she threw something at them. Nikola went over to defend her, but then they started yelling at him too.

Mezmo: What? *narrows his eyebrows in anger* They have no right to do that! *grips his baton, motions toward the ruckus* QUIET!!!

*The shout from the outraged young wizard caused the whole cottage the rattle and roll, causing everyone to cease what they were doing and turned towards Mezmo in awe. Mezmo took a few deep breathes before confronting the ponies for their rather rude behavior*

Mezmo: How dare you treat my friends so shamefully!? They did absolutely nothing to you, and this is the way you treat them?!

Snips: But… We saw it with our own eyes! She threw that sofa at everyone!

Snails: A whole sofa, like that one. *points towards Mezmo's sofa*

Mezmo: If that's true, then why isn't the sofa in pieces?

Snails: Um… Magic?

Mezmo: Don't give me that excuse. I'M the wizard here, not Lian! Now why would you two lie about my friends like that? What did they ever do to you?

Snips: Well, uh, well... You see--

Snips & Snails: *in unison, pointing at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon* They started it!

Diamond Tiara: Ugh!! Leave it to Snips and Snails to ruin everything!

Twilight: *walks up to the two fillies, looking very angry* Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon! I should've known!

Nikola: I take it this isn't the first time they've done something this needlessly cruel.

Applejack: *walks up* I'll say! They keep teasing my sister, Apple Bloom, for not having her cutie mark yet.

Mezmo: Oh? What else?

Snips: There was that one time they got me and Snails here to let a bunch of frogs loose in the school.

Snails: Ha, ha! That was funny.

Twilight: You two should be ashamed of yourselves! *looks at all the other ponies* And that goes for all of you, too!

Big Macintosh: Sorry 'bout all that, Twilight. But we ain't never had humans 'ere before. Some ponies just ain't used ta havin' them 'round.

Twilight: That's still no excuse for your rude behavior to our guests, especially at their own party that YOU all threw for them!

Big Macintosh: Rightly so, may haps we make it up ta them.

Pony 1: Yeah.

Pony 2: I guess so.

Pony 3: We've acted so terrible towards them.

Pony 4: And we did throw this party for them.

Lian: It is alright. *places a gentle hand on Big Macintosh's head* I do not hold anything against you or the good citizens of Ponyville. Do you think that we can just put all this behind us?

Big Macintosh: *smiles* Eeeyup.

Rarity: *looks at the two fillies* Now, what do you two have to say to our guests?

Silver Spoon: Sorry, I guess…

Diamond Tiara: *rolls her eyes* Yeah, whatever.

Mezmo: I don't believe you. You two wouldn't want to make a wizard angry, now would you? *leans in close to the two fillies, looking scary as he holds up his baton*

Diamond Tiara: *yelps in fear* Okay! Okay! We're sorry! We were just playing a game!

Mezmo: *smiles* That's better.

Cheerilee: Now because of how rude you two were to our guests, I'm giving you both detention after school tomorrow!

Silver Spoon: Aww… Really?! *turns to Snips and Snails* Thanks a lot.

Snails: You're welcome!

Mezmo: Well… I guess the party's over, huh?

Pinkie: Are you kidding? Not only can I throw a great party, but I also clean up any party pooper's mess.

Mezmo: *smiles and noogies Pinkie Pie* I like you, Pinkie Pie. You're silly.

Pinkie: *giggles* And I like you, too. Now, watch me work my Pinkie magic! *runs over to the DJ table and puts on a new record*

Mezmo: *looks at Twilight* Thanks for defending my friends, Twilight. I was afraid that if I tried all by myself, they'd turn against me too…and then I'd have to leave town.

Twilight: It's what friends do.

Rarity: Yes, we certainly weren't going to let some spoiled little fillies ruin your party.

Applejack: Besides, it was mighty brave of you to defend your friends in the first place. That's the sign of true friendship!

Mezmo: *hugs Twilight's neck* Thank you all so much for making me feel at home here. I owe you all everything. *tears stream down his cheeks*

Twilight: Anything for my first human friend ever… And my first student.

Nikola: What about us?

Rainbow Dash: Well, you're our friends, too! Duh!

Lian: Of course, and we thank you all for being so wonderful.

Fluttershy: You're welcome. Um, Lian… Could I have a hug?

Lian: *smiles* Of course! And I promise I'll be gentle this time. *kneels down and gently hugs Fluttershy*

Fluttershy: *smiles and closes her eyes* Mmm… I feel all tingly inside.

Lian: Me too!

Nikola: Hey… Don't I get a hug?

Pinkie: Of course! *jumps up to hug Nikola, but knocks him over*

Nikola: Oof! Thanks!

Pinkie: No problem at all! Always happy to help. *squeezes Nikola*

Nikola: ACK!!! Pinkie, you're choking me!

Mezmo: Come on, people, LET'S PARTY!!!

*The music continued as everyone and everypony danced and had fun, Nikola still being pinned down and squeezed by an overly affectionate Pinkie Pie*

*A few hours had passed and the party was now over, as a majority of the guests began to leave. Most of the ponies, including Twilight and her friends, stayed behind as they watched Mezmo say goodbye to Lian and Nikola*

Mezmo: *sighs* I wish you two didn't have to go…

Nikola: So do we, but I'm afraid we have to.

Lian: We'll always keep you in our hearts, Mezmo.

Mezmo: And you'll always be in mine… I'll write you both every week.

Nikola: And we'll write you back…always.

*Lian then brought the three of them in close for a goodbye hug. The ponies who were watching, couldn't help but shed a tear, especially Pinkie Pie, who cried buckets*

Mezmo: Well… Goodbye.

*Nikola and Lian waved goodbye as they took the empty cart and began to make the trek back to Mareheim*

Fluttershy: Ooh, it's so sad to see friends leave like that.

Mezmo: Yeah… But they'll always be my friends…and I won't be alone, because I have new friends here…

Rarity: Well, darling, that's really nice of you to say. Just remember, that a true friendship will endure anything.

Mezmo: I hear that. So, Twilight, when's my first lesson?

Twilight: How about tomorrow? I think after a party like that, we could all use some rest. Plus I think you should take some time to get familiar with your new place.

Mezmo: *smiles* Who says the party's over? I still have one more song I wanna play.

Rainbow Dash: Seriously? What's that?

Mezmo: Hold on. *goes to his bookshelf and pulls out a large record that reads, "The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News" and hands it to the Vinyl Scratch* Here, play this one.

Vinyl Scratch: Ooh, I've heard of these guys, they're awesome! *puts on the record on the turntable and puts the needle on the record*

*The record began to play "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News as Mezmo began to do a small dance, much to the amusement of his friends*

Record Player: *singing* The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love

Pinkie Pie: Ooh, I've never heard this song before!

Applejack: Me neither, but darn it if I don't like it!

Mezmo: It's one of my all time favorites!

Twilight: Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's dance!

*Soon, the mane six started to dance all around Mezmo while Vinyl Scratch bobbed her head up and down to the beat*

Record Player: *singing* Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good, Mmmm make a wrong one right
Power of love will keep you home at night.

Don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love,
That's the power of love

*Later that evening, at Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia, the majestic Alicorn ruler of all Equestria, was laying on the floor next to her fireplace in her bedroom, enjoying a quiet evening at home. She was truly a magnificent creature to behold, resembling a Pegasus, except tall and regal-looking, with fur as white as the whitest snow, a mane and tail composed of every color you can imagine, and a Unicorn horn that was longer than any found on other ordinary Unicorns. Just then, as the princess was relaxing by the fire, a rolled up scroll floated in from an open window and landed next to her hoof*

Princess Celestia: Hmm… What could this be? *unrolls the scroll and begins reading it*

*Dear Princess Celestia,

This is Mezmo, your student Twilight Sparkle's new student. I've asked her if I could borrow Spike to let you know how my time in Ponyville has been going so far. When I first arrived, I felt like a real pariah, like I had no business even being here. But as soon as Twilight and her friends began to open up to me, I began to feel more accepted. Though being here in Ponyville will mean that I have to leave my friends from Mareheim behind, I can take comfort in the knowledge that I won't be here alone. Thank you again for recommending that I come here. I owe you, King Nathanial and Queen Marilyn everything.

Sincerely,

Mezmo A. Mandrake, wizard-in-training*

Princess Celestia: *chuckles* You are indeed destined for great things, Mezmo… Things that even you would never have expected.
Episode 3 of Adventures in Equestria. Mezmo moves into his new house and is greeted with open arms by the ponies of Ponyville. But how will he feel when his friends from Mareheim have to leave?

It was so sad when Nikola and Lian left. I like those two. Along with Mezmo of course.
