Lost in Equestria
Without a map.
By: M11-Megas
Ch. 8 Envelopes that are bigger on the inside.
After the pony left me confused and with at least fifteen questions, I just sat there for a little bit, pondering over what just happened. I got shocked out of my thought by Rainbow how had waken up and was shaking a hoof in front of my face.
"Hello, anypony home?"
"Huh, uh yeah um..." I looked at the envelope which looked to be made out of stickers.
"Oh," Rainbow started letting on she understands what had happened, "You meet Pinkie-Pie didn't you?"
"Wait. What?" I took a sip of my coffee in the hopes to clear my mind. "Who is Pinkie-Pie?"
Rainbow rolled her eyes. "She did it again didn't she?" Rainbow didn't wait for a response. "She probably told you a hundred different things but didn't tell you her name. She does that a lot." She sighed and looked at the envelope. "looks like your the guest of honor."
I was really confused now. "say what?"
"Pinkie just invited you to a party, and she is throwing the party for you. She only gives the special envelopes to the gust of honor." She nodded to the card in my hand. "Like that one."
I opened the flap of the envelope to be greeted by a cloud of confetti exploding out of it. I jumped at this but Rainbow just stood there as if she was expecting it.That was strange. Rainbow brushed the confetti off her mane while I just let what was on me be. "How did she..."
She cut me off "Pinkie can find a way."
I pulled out the card slowly and opened it carefully to make sure there was no more traps, I read it aloud.
Dear not-a-pony
I am throwing you a welcome party to welcome you to the town. It will be held at sugar cube corner Thursday night
Hope to see you there!
Happy, Pinkie-Pie
I read over it again to find a more accurate date but it just said Thursday."What is today?"
"Tuesday"
"Well, she sends invites well in advance doesn't she."
Rainbow shrugged.
I heard another pony making there way up the stairs. "Back to the grid then."

A while later I had all the book knowledge that I needed and another coffee or two, so I was just sitting around waiting for Twilight to show up. Rainbow was fast asleep again, with the book she was reading covering her face. It looks like an Indana Jones book but with ponies.
At that point i heard another pony coning up the stairs. This is a busy place for a library. As the pony reached the top of the stairs I gratuitously said. "Welcome to the library." The unicorn stopped and looked at me with a quizzical stair. She was a pale purple. with a neat black main that had pink and purple colored steaks in it. she had saddle bags full of what I thought at the time were books. "Is there anything I can help you with?" I forced a smile though the awkward air.
She looked over at Rainbow snoring away in a chair on the other side of the room, before speaking "No." She then rushed over to the sleeping pegasus woke her up and had a conversation in a hushed tone.
I wonder what there talking about. me, maybe? Better not eavesdrop I only have a half hour before seven, and I would really hate to mess up now.I turned the other way toward the entrance to find that a owl was sitting on the desk. "Um... Hello."
"Who?"
"Uh. Hello to you."
"Who?"
"Who am I? I'm Megas, and you are?" I forced another smile.
"Who."
"Your name is who?"
"Who?"
I don't think that this owl is as smart as I thought it was.
"His name is Owlowiscious." I looked back to see the unicorn near the desk. She was looking through all the check-out papers which had really piled up as the day went on. "Did you fill all of these out?"
"Most of them, yes." My eyes widened as I saw that she had a few small red welts on her back. "Are you Twilight Sparkle?"
she looked back to me with a shocked expression. "Yes. How did you know that?"
"Lucky guess." I jumped out of the seat and around the desk. "Sorry, for impersonating you. But it was the only way that I could get ponies to not panic when they see me."
"Its fine."She seemed more interested in the papers than anything else. "I didn't think that handwriting could get this neat."
"Yes well I had a lot of practice." I suddenly remembered the disaster that had happened with the fillies. "Um,,, There is a bit of an issue in the other room."
"What kind of issue?" She asked unconcerned holding the papers with her magic.
"Well there where these three little fillies..."
Twilight dropped the papers letting them scatter on the floor. "The cutie mark crusaders?" there was a ting of fear in her voice.
"So you heard of them?"
Twilight facehoofed "Every other week anymore those fillies are in here tiring to destroy my library." she seemed angry but was tiring to keep calm "What did they do?"
"I'll just show you." I lead her to the mess.
"The CMC are going to be the end of me." She surveyed the wreck. "Did you stop them before they could do more damage?"
"Yes I made them leave immediately after this."
Rainbow, who had followed us into the room, was rolling on the floor laughing. "Squirt is going to have one heck of a story to tell!"
Twilight ignored her. "Well I guess you saved my library. Those girls would not have stopped until there was nothing left."
"I think this would have stopped at lest one of them if I had not intervened." Rainbow had stopped laughing instantly.
Twilight was shocked again. "Oh, well then thank you. Now then what do you need me for?"
I explained what had happened and why I needed her help, but the conversion grow into all sorts of things we talked about magic, we talked about ourselves, we talked about our experiences. Before I knew it a hour and a half had passed.
"I can look into ways of getting you home but if you don't mind I would like to do some tests on this 'Time slowing' ability before you go."
"Well I don't have anywhere I need to be, and I would like to know what is with that." Nothing like that had happened before I got to Equestria.
"AH, It s the monster from this morning!" A voice cried from behind me.
I turned around to be greeted by a hoof in my mouth that knocked me to my back. I tasted blood. "Everyday is one of those days here."
