Chapter 5 - Welcome to Ponyville (Part 3)
As they walked further in town, everyone was staring at Joshua, since he's the only one who really stands out, considering he's still wearing his power armor. Joshua couldn't blame them though, after all. They continued onward further into town in silence as Joshua was lost in thought.
'These people should consider themselves lucky. Living in a world where most of their days are peaceful and not have to worry about anything that could attack them, like in my world. Even then, there are still dangers about this world, except it doesn't happen everyday like it's normal for them... I think.' he thought to himself until Fluttershy caught his attention.
Joshua looked towards Fluttershy and noticed that she seemed concerned about something. She asked, "Are you okay? You seemed very quiet."
This caught both Applejack's and Dash's attention as they turned towards Joshua, waiting for an answer.
He replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just thinking some things over. Nothing to worry about."
The three nodded and we continued on towards this library that their friend, Twilight, lives in.
After a minute and a half, they finally arrived at the library... which happens to be a large tree house. As in, the tree was hollowed out and made into a house.
Then when they arrived at the front door, Rainbow Dash knocked and waited for a few seconds until they heard a young male voice...
"H-hang on! I'll be right there!"
Then after a second, the door opened and revealed a young male that seems to be at the age of twelve with green spiky hair, green eyes that seemed reptilian in nature, wearing a purple zip-up hoodie, a green t-shirt, tan cargo shorts, and black shoes.
"Oh! Hey! Twilight was expecting you..." he paused as he noticed Joshua. He then asked, "Uh... who's that behind you?"
Dash replied, "Don't worry, Spike. He's with us."
Spike nodded, “Oh, alright. Come in, Twilight was expecting you guys.”
As they entered, they were met with a girl, Twilight Sparkle, Joshua figured. She had purplish hair with a few pink strands of hair in a line, with purple eyes, she was wearing a somewhat typical librarian outfit, with some of her color schemes. The design in Twilight’s shirt was a purple star surrounded by smaller stars and appeared to have wings as well, except purple. The second girl also had purple hair, except it was smooth, like it was groomed. Her eyes were blue, and seemed to be wearing a fashionable outfit, with three diamond designs on it. And finally there’s...
“HI JOSHUA!” Pinkie shouted out to him.
Joshua sighed, then muttered, “Pink devil...”
Twilight and her stylish friend had a dumbfound look on their faces as they looked in his direction. Though both have their own reactions included into them. Twilight had a curious look on her, while the fashionist looked horrified for some reason.
Twilight then spoke, “So... you’re this Joshua, Pinkie told us about?
Then the fashionist spoke, “Pinkie Pie, deary, you never mention Joshua wearing whatever horrid thing he’s wearing.”
Joshua spoke out towards the fashionist, “Hey! Don’t dis the armor!”
Then Applejack spoke out, “Rarity, is this really the time to talk about fashion sense?”
Rarity replied, “Oh! Sorry, Mr. Joshua.”
He replied, “Eh, just Joshua would be fine, or Josh.”
Then Twilight spoke up, “Anyway... let me be the one to welcome you to Ponyville, Joshua. But right now...” but then she paused as Dash came up to her.
“Actually Twilight, Joshua was the source of the disturbance in the Everfree. Fluttershy just happened to be nearby when it happened.” Dash said.
That gave Twilight a surprise, just by seeing it on her face was enough indication to Joshua.
Twilight, after a few seconds of silence, spoke, “Well... this changes things. Well, Fluttershy, could you tell me how did you find him?”
Fluttershy nodded and began explaining on how she met Joshua, while the said person was lost in thought...
‘Well, come to think of it, this IS a whole new adventure for me. I wonder how this would go.’
‘Location: Everfree Forest; earlier that day, around Joshua’s arrival...’
There were two people watching from afar as they witness the arrival of the Lone Wanderer, then the interaction between the native and the said person, one said the other, “This might be a challenge for us.”
The second replied, “I know, and I’m sure as hell know that Colonel Autumn will not be happy about this. We should report back.”
Then the two retreated back to their secret headquarters that is now home for the U.S. government remnants, the Enclave.
