    The six girls yawned and stretched. The night had been "interesting", the incident with the meat, and they were visited by Discord in their dreams. They slowly came one by one out of their rooms. Hair tousled and messy (excluding Rarity of course), heads drooped and steps were slow and sluggish. Only Pinkie Pie was jumping around happy as a bee. When they went downstairs they were surprised to see that Dash was already up. He waved at them happily and pointed to the counter next to him. There were six pairs of sneakers the color each matching the girls clothes, and there were little pictures that looked like their cutie marks imprinted on the side. The girl happily, albeit a little suspiciously, put them on and tried them out. They fit perfectly, and looked nice. After they finished walking around in circles Dash took them to breakfast, this time making sure that no meat came out. They had waffles, fruit salad, and some ice cream for dessert. After everyone had eaten their fill Dash stood up as if to make an announcement.

"Okay, so you guys are new here right? I'm gonna show you around, let you meet my friends."

Dash ran off toward the door while the girls hurriedly followed him. He burst out into the sunshine before falling forward on his face. All the girls gasped and rushed to his side. He didn't move, so Pinkie leaned over him and poked his face gently. He moaned and then pushed himself up. He rubbed his head and smiled, apparently this happened more than once everyday.
He walked out of the courtyard as straight as he could and continued to walk down the street. Every person that passed him said hello to him and the girls. The six girls smiled, maybe, the human world isn't so bad after all. The girls looked back toward Dash to find him waving at a boy around his age working a fruit stand. But it was no ordinary fruit stand, AJ beamed, it was an apple stand. She wiggled with joy at the familiarity of it all. Dash frowned for a second at Applejack's reaction, but soon smiled and pointed at the girls then the boy.

"Girls, this is Andrew Johnson. AJ, the girls."

He smiled and shook each of their hands. He had spiky blond hair and freckles littered across his face. He was wearing a red plaid shirt with jeans. He looked extremely buff for a boy his age. But nonetheless he looked respectable. Applejack scrutinized him with a critical eye before nodding in approval. He looked like a good person to run a farm, even at Sweet Apple Acres. This caused a look of confusion from the rest of the Mane 6 and the two boys. A light suddenly went off in Dash's head.

"Okay, by the way, I just wanted to tell you that my last name is Ramone. Now that I think about it you guys haven't told me your names."

Twilight pointed at each of the girls as she spoke.

"That's Pinkamena Pie, but we just call her Pinkie, if you guys need help planning parties, ask her. That's Fluttershy, she has this way with animals nopo-" Twilight stopped midsentence. This was a human world, if she used the word "nopony", it may draw unwanted attention. She had heard some of the locals talking and thought she should try and use it in context. "I mean nobody else does. That's Rarity, the fashionista, the best seamstress you'll ever know. That's Rainbow Dash, she's the speedster, I bet she can outrun even the fastest horse. That's Applejack, also called AJ, she used to work on an apple farm before she came here and she is the best cowgirl around. I'm Twilight, the bookworm. I like to read a lot of books and study. I'm also the private prodigy of Princess Celes-"

Twilight slapped a hand over her mouth, she hadn't meant to say that. Now they would ask who Princess Celestia was and she wouldn't have an appropriate answer. Twilight bit her lip nervously in search of something to cover with but Dash just raised an eyebrow. She looked uncomfortable, so he wouldn't pry. They stood there for a moment, not doing anything. But one thought was going through Dash and AJ's mind.

Who's Princess Celes- It sounds familiar, could it? No, it couldn't.

These girls seem awfully out of it. They don't look that normal either. Maybe they're new in town. Ah sure hope Dex knows what he's doin'.
