I looked around the field that I was standing in. I could see in the distance the town where the problem was happening. I turned around to see a large forest that looked pretty abandoned and natural. I should investigate that later. I decided it was time to walk into town. Just then I realized I was the only humanoid on this planet. I will have to become invisible so I don't startle any of the inhabitants. I slowly became transparent and eventual disappeared. 
“This should keep me from startling any of the citizens of this planet for now.” I said to reassure myself.

It was time to see what the problem was in this dimension. I quickly ran towards the tiny town to see the six that were having problems. On my way in to the town, I saw a sign that said “Welcome To Pony-ville!”

I almost gagged at the idea of where I was. 
“A planet entirely inhabited by a pony population?” I whispered under my breath at the idea of this.
“Why would the boss make a dimension entirely populated by ponies?” I just shrugged as I remember that I have been to weirder places.

I started to walk towards the circle of colorful ponies that were arguing with the violet coated one. I remember from when I wasn't like this that horses with horns are called Unicorns and ones with wings are called Pegasi. The ones with neither must just be normal then.

There were six ponies standing in a small sort of circle, surprisingly speaking English. The purple unicorn is the main attention though. She seemed furious at the other five for some reason. I have to get their names by reading their minds.

I started with the purple unicorn. She seemed to go by the name Twilight Sparkle. That name made me want to just give up hope for this problem, but that is something I cannot allow. She seemed agitated over the fact that her favorite book was missing.
“This shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.” I think to myself over the idea of this stupid crisis.
There was something that I didn't understand yet. They all had a different mark on their back sides. I will have to inquire about that later. Twilight's was some sort of star symbol that was in front of a circle of white stars.

I then read the mind of the one closest to Twilight. She went by Applejack. That name alone matched her mark. She seemed to be a farmer of apples, easily expressed by her name, mark, and thick accent of a hard working farmer.

Then there was a Pegasus hovering in the air not too far from Applejack. She went by Rainbow Dash. Her mark seemed to be harder to read, but I couldn't worry about that right now.

Down below her stood a regular pony. She was Pinkie Pie. That name easily matched her thick color of her coat. She had balloons as a mark and incredibly curly hair.

Next to her was a yellow Pegasus named Fluttershy. Her name matched the position she was currently in. A low crouch with a little fear in her eyes, obviously from Twilight’s yelling. Her mark was three butterflies. Her thing must have to do with nature.

And finally there was a very white Unicorn by the name of Rarity. She seemed regal and very posh. Her mark was strange. It was just three diamonds. I could figure out that it must have to do with fashion. Her hair was in a curly style and she looked like that type for a pony.

I could read each of their expressions like a book. Twilight's was obviously anger, due to the situation. Applejack's was one of disbelief from her friend’s accusation. The Rainbow one looked shocked at her friend’s actions. Pinkie was one of sadness, obviously from the anger showed towards her. Fluttershy was one of fear, scared of her friend's anger. Rarity was wearing an insulted expression. She was mad at the fact that her friend would yell at them for something so stupid.

I was so focused in their heads and faces that I didn't hear a word they said. I only saw as they all left one by one. Twilight was the first one to leave, in anger and frustration towards a hollowed out tree. I found that strange, but it must be some sort of important building. Then Applejack left, headed for a road that had a sign over it that reed, “To Apple Acres” clearly headed to her home. Then, Rainbow Dash went off in a huff towards a barely visible cloud house. With her speed, I can assume her mark represented her athletic speed. Pinkie Pie then went towards a gingerbread house in a sort of slumping walk. It must be a bakery of some sort. It must have something to do with the balloons on her back. Fluttershy ran towards the outer part of town with tears in her eyes. This almost made me feel sorry for the Pegasus, but I must stay on track with the job at hand. And last, Rarity left towards a giant house that looked to be some sort of clothing store, confirming my suspicion that she was some sort of fashionable pony.

“I must go talk to the one named Twilight Sparkle to see how I can assist.” I think to myself.

With that I headed into the direction of the Unicorns tree house.
