This story is a sequel to The Chronicles of Summer Rain, Vol. 5 -- Faded Memories

The Portal forms a link between the Equestria Girls world and Equestria. It seemed to some that the Portal could 'adjust' time while traversing the Portal, sometimes by hours, sometimes by years. On this otherwise 'normal' day, the Portal is instrumental in bringing an amazing book to Summer Rain at just the right time in her life... She would never be the same...

The first story in The Journey of Graves.

Ponyville is getting ready for the arrival of Princess Celestia's marshals, elite of royal guard and travelling heroes of the people. But in all the hustle and bustle of party preparations, a lone traveler slips into town, a young man with business concerning Twilight Sparkle. What that business is remains to be seen, but you can be sure Ponyville won't make it easy for him.
After all, where would be the fun in that?

When Fluttershy finds a human in her backyard trying to eat one of her chickens, she and a majority of the residents of Ponyville only want this dangerous creature as far away from their town as possible.

After a less than stellar first impression, Derpy Hooves and the human struggle to quell the rumors surrounding his diet, and convince the townsfolk that he's harmless.

Will the human be able to make himself meek enough to coexist? Or will he be driven out of town with torches and pitchforks?

Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different pony.

Zecora hates her little hut.
The path is always silent, and the door is always shut.
