It's been decided that I promised Rarity that I'd go and meet her friend in a town called Canterlot while every pony tagged along. Mia and I decided to go to Rarity's boutique to check if she was packed and ready to leave.
"So you've been famous even before I got here, Alex?," Mia asked in awe.
"Well, I wouldn't say famous...more like... well known as a human.," I said shrugging.
"That's still the same!," Mia replied back, poking my face unexpectedly.
"Hey, I can't help how fast news travels around Equestria!," I stated.
After a while, we reached Carousel Boutique. "I hope Rarity's ready to go!," I said, opening the door only yo find a humongous pack filled with luggage sitting in the middle of the room.
"I think she's ready.," Mia answered, laughing.
I tried to fix myself together as I continued looking at the giant bag of carrying materials. "I can't even see her shop's roof!," I said. "What the heck does she think she's doing, BRINGING THE ENTIRE BOUTIQUE!?," I screamed, falling to my knees and putting my arms out towards the crazed luggage.
"Oh no, that's just the way she always travel.," said a voice from behind the luggage.
"Huh, who was that?," Mia asked.
"Oh, sorry, hehe!,"Sweetie Belle came hopping around the huge baggage.
"Oh, it's you Sweetie Belle.," I said, staring fixedly at the little filly.
Mia gasped. "Oh so CUTE, why didn't you tell me you knew another little filly!," Mia screamed in delight as she tried rushing forward to hug Sweeite Belle.
Sweetie Belle flinched a little. "Um...," She reacted with a shocked expression. Soon she was caught in Mia's grasp and started laughing. "Haha, w-what's going on?," She asked, laughing from Mia's hugging.
I face palmed. "Eh, that's just Mia being Mia... again.," I explained. "Anyways, what are you doing here?," I asked in surprise.
Sweetie Belle soon got out of Mia's hug and tilted her head at me. "You mean I haven't told you?," She asked as she came up towards me.
"Told me what? Oh, I bet Rarity accidentally packed you in her huge luggage, didn't she?," I said, slightly laughing.
Sweetie Belle shock her head in response. "Haha, no Alex, Rarity's my sister!," She corrected, trotting back around where she came from.
"Wait, what!?," I said, unaware that I was too late to ask her a second question. "Huh, I learn something new everyday in this world...," I said scratching the back of my head.
"Mhm!," Mia added on.
After I heard a door shut behind where the giant luggage was, me and Mia heard Rarity humming as she came from behind it. "Alrighty then, seems I'm ready to go!," She said joyfully.
I rushed towards Rarity and gave her a very disturbing glare. "W-What seems to be the problem, Alex?," rarity asked as she was slightly terrified from my sudden gaze.
"Well...I think Alex is very curious about your...um...stuff that you're bringing to Canterlot.," Mia stated, trying to prevent me from scaring Rarity any longer.
"Well a lady such as myself should have the proper necessities whenever they're traveling.," Rarity replied nonchalantly.
"Ooooooh that's a lot of stuff, Rarity!," said a voice coming from behind the luggage once again.
"Hey that sounded like Pinkie Pie!," I said in an instant.
"Abso-possi-tubly~♪," Pinkie said, popping from behind Mia.
"Hey Pinkie, how've you been!?," Mia asked as her and Pinkie started playing patty cake.
"I'm been super duper great, hey! I was at this really fun party not too long ago and it had THE BEST AND BIGGEST CAKE EVER and I just wanted to bring all of you some of it!," Pinkie said with a smile.
"Sweet, so...where are our pieces?," I asked, starving for a frosted treat.
"I kinda couldn't find a big enough bag to fit it all in, that cake WAS huge after all!," Pinkie stated.
I shot a confused look at Pinkie Pie. "Wait... you said you wanted to share SOME of it with us... not all of it, right?," I asked.
Pinkie nodded her head. "Mhm!" She replied.
"Uh huh...," I said, still confused over the pink pony's lack of sense.
I returned my attention towards Rarity as she was walking towards me. "Hmm, do you need something, Rarity?," I asked as she stood in front of me.
"Well, as you can see I have all this luggage I so desperately need to bring and I can't seem to pick it up...could you perhaps...," She said, giving me an endearing stare.
I was flustered a bit until Mia interrupted. "Aw, come on Rarity, you can't just hypnotize Alex like that... it's wrong!," She said, wiggling her finger at Rarity.
"Oh, haha...pardon me, then may I ask for your help in carrying these?," Rarity asked, this time smiling.
I nodded. "I guess I can carry it, but it'll need to um...lighten up.," I said with a very exaggerated grin.
*****
Pinkie left as Mia and I helped Rarity fix her luggage capacity, removing all pf the unnecessary gear, there was no way in the world of Equestria I was going to break my back carrying something that huge.
"I think no pony would need THAT much stuff, I mean who would fit an entire wardrobe in a bag like that!?," I said, trying to regain my energy.
"Apparently Rarity, haha!," Mia replied.
*****
It was time to head to Ponyville''s train station and I saw Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Spike there.
"I wonder how their trains operate since there's barely any electricity in this place..."
"So we're going to Canterlot, I've been planning to return back to it's library for a long time!," Twilight said in excitement.
"Ah'd be very pleases to go to Canterlot and sell some of sweet ole' Apple Acres apples there for a while!," Applejack said, wheeling a wagon full of apples to the back of the carrier train compartment.
"Ooh, I can go search out some fancy ponies in Canterlot to play with, I'm sure they'll be HAPPY to party with me!," Pinkie screamed as she jumped onto my head for the moment.
I grabbed Pinkie Pie and placed her back on the ground, she and everyone else laughed at her playfulness. The train announced that they would begin to leave shortly.
"Hey, where's Rainbow Dash?," I asked, looking over the area of the train station.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash said she had some important duties to take care of, mister Alex.," Fluttershy said, flying over head.
"Uh huh, she said she'll join us in Canterlot after she's done!," Spike added.
"The train's about to leave,too, should we get going?," Mia asked hesitantly.
"We had to wait until Rarity get her... what's taking her?," I said thumping my feet on the ground. I saw a silhouette in the distance and spotted Rarity, but something was a bit off. "Rarity!," I said in a somewhat worried and angry tone.
"What? I couldn't help but bring some more of my designs along.," She said pouting a bit while carrying a few dresses on her back.
I sighed and shook my head. "This fashionista's something else...," I said underneath my breathe.
"All aboard every pony, the train is about to leave!," Said the conductor.
"Psst, Mia...," I whispered, trying to catch her attention from playing with Pinkie Pie for a second. "What do you think a train with no electricity runs off of?," I asked with a curious face.
"Huh, oh that's easy, it runs on HORSE POWER!," Mia replied, ever so bliss.
"...and cue comedic drum roll, please!"
"Y-Yea, I thought you'd say something like that...," I responded laughing.
*****
Me, Mia, and the others ponies were assigned to 3 cars, so that way other passengers wouldn't get distracted with our antics and for equal sharing space. Everyone got settled in really well, then Fluttershy tugged my shirt the second I sat down.
"Oh, what is it Fluttershy?," I asked.
"Well...mister Alex I was wondering about that night at...Celestia's party...," She replied softly.
"Oh, haha...t-that...," I said blushing a little.
"Ooooooh, did someone say party!?," Both Pinkie and Mia said in unison, coming between Fluttershy and I. "I hears something about a party, what party was it!?," Mia asked putting her face close to mines.
"Well, y-yea, Fluttershy was at the party we threw Princess Celestia.," I said, a bit uncomfortable of Mia's range towards me.
Pinkie threw her hooves up. "Yup, that party was soooooo fantastic, I had lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots ," she gasped for air before continuing. "And lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots ,"
Pinkie was topped when I poked her on the head. "Lots of...?," I said.
"Hehe, lots of fun!~♪," Pinkie finished with a smile.
Oh yes, me and mister Alex danced at Princess Celestia's party in a small forest opening until she arrived, he and I were dancing so beautifully...," Fluttershy said, putting her front hooves to cover her flustering face.
"A dance in a forest opening with soothing music, sounds romantic!~♥," Mia said, pushing her face closer to mines.
"M-Mia...," I said trying to get her from coming any closer. The moment I was about to push Mia away, I looked her in the eyes and realized something.
*****
{"Wow, I was just here to sing, but you gave me a chance to dance too..?," Mia sad, beginning to shed tears.
"Come on Mia, you deserve this moment, you were given the title prom queen, after all!," I said smiling.
"Oh Alex...," Mia said, putting her head on my shoulder and we began to dance.}
*****
I stared a bit at Mia some more, noticing her eyes had tiny tears coming out as her face was really close to mines.
"Oh right...I forgot I did the same thing for her...haha."
"Um, mister Alex?," Fluttershy said, tugging my shirt again.
"Huh, oh, sorry there Fluttershy, I lost it for a second there.," I said laughing, then I saw Mia smiling at me with Pinkie Pie playfully jumping everywhere on the train.
*****
After a while, everyone was set up in their assigned carts: Applejack, Spike, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie was in the first cart; Mia, Fluttershy and I in the second; And, for her beauty sleep I was told, Rarity has a cart for herself in the third. It was quickly getting late and a few of the ponies were already asleep.
"Wow, I never knew the travel to Canterlot would be so long.," I said, holding a lanterns nearby.
"Well...the original travel direction to Canterlot was cut off by a rock slide that occurred yesterday.," Twilight stated as she was comforting herself in her covers.
"Hope we'll be there by morning...," Mia said, then she yawned. "I need sleep, I'm heading back to my bed, goodnight you two!," She said, returning to our cart.
Me and Twilight were still awake for the meantime, it was becoming harder to see, that is until Twilight used her glowing magic to help with that situation.
"I guess magic has it's casual uses."
"I've been recently looking into these magical spells that Princess Celestia had sent me...they seem pretty advanced for a pony like me to cast.," Twilight said, putting one hoof up to her mouth.
"Come on Twilight, I know you can pull off amazing spells, I mean... I've seen you float, teleport and and even use levitation! Aren't those cool spells enough?," I said.
Twilight seems flattered. "Yea, they are really wonderful spells and levitation is kind of basic, but.... that teleportation spell did take some times back when I was a filly in Canterlot.," She said, thinking to herself.
"Can't I help you with her magic problem then?," I asked kindly.
"No, no it's fine, Spike is always willing to test my spells!," Twilight replied clapping her hooves together.
I looked at Spike, he was sleeping with a little bit of drool coming from hit mouth and was halfway about to fall off of his bed, then I looked back at Twilight.
"What are these..."pretty advanced" spells anyways?," I asked curiously.
"Hmm... let me see, there's a time stopping spell, a transformation spell, and a mind reading spell...," Twilight was interrupted by me.
"A transformation spell!?," I said in surprise, falling off the bed, nearly waking up Spike and Applejack.
"Umg...two apple fritters....puttin' up the barn... Ah'll do it Granny...," Applejack said, snoring.
"Wow, heave sleepers, aren't they..?," I said. I sat myself back on Twilight's bed. "Oh, about that transformation spell, how does it work?," I asked, peeking into Twilight's book she was reading.
"Well, it says here that the spell is able to morph any living being into any type of pony he or she desires most...oh, sounds interesting!," Twilight said happily.
"Hmm, that doesn't sound so bad, being any type of pony, eh?," I said, thinking of the possibilities.
"I wonder how I'd be as a pony, not too different I hope!"
Twilight looked at me with a very concerned face. "You wouldn't be suggesting that I should test the spell on you, right?," She asked with a half intrigued face.
I smiled. "Does a pig fly?," I asked in a trivial voice.
Twilight's eyes widened. "I-Is that a yes or a not because you still haven't told me if they do from where you come from.," She asked, hopelessly confused.
I decided to ditch the trivial question and take things seriously. "Well...depends if the spell's permanent or not, I wouldn't mind being a test subject!," I replied.
"Hmm...," Twilight said looking over at Spike's sleeping face. "I suppose trying my magic on any pony or dragon has produced the same results...but I'll give it a shot!," twilight said as we shook hand to hoof on our deal.
*****
After discussing our deal to try out the transformation spell without Spike knowing was done, I headed to my cart to go to sleep, once I got back I noticed a bulge in my bed.
"What the...oh, it's probably just some pillows stacked up by Mia and Pinkie playing around to much.," I said with a small laugh, then I removed the covers.
To my surprise I found Mia sleeping in my bed with her gown that she arrived in Equestria with. "W-W-What!?," I said, quickly covering my mouth from being too surprised to shout so I wouldn't make up Fluttershy and Mia. "...oh man this is bad, why would Mia go into my bed, I mean he bed's right above mine and ,"
Before I could finish, I heard Mia say something as she slept. "Alex...you're so kinda...and make everyone happy...I think I lo ," She ended and went back to snoozing.
I looked at her with a very content face, then pulled the covers on her so she won't get cold. "Ah, I won't complain about it this time...," I whispered to myself, then I headed up to Mia's bed instead and started gazing outside of the window, looking at the night sky.
That's something about Eqeustria I just can't explain that makes it so peaceful, I kinda wish things back at home were like this, haha.," I said, yawning. "Eh no time to worry about that, good night ...Fluttershy...Mia...every pony.," I said, drifting of to sleep.
