"Wait, what?"
"Not these ponies. Why the ponies?" The earth pony continued.
"Now, Aaron, stop complaining about these... ponies being ponies."
"No! I want a peaceful, dreamless sleep, and what do I get? Ponies."
"This isn't a dream."
"Great, even worse."
"Well, we're here, and we're probably gonna be here for a while."
"Fine. I'll stop complaining."
"Good. Now, everybody-"
"Everypony." Twilight interrupted.
"Right. Everypony is staring at us, and if you complain about them being who they are, they will murder you with friendship and glitter. Be quiet."
"Okay, okay."
"Umm... You're sort of making a scene in front off everypony. Why don't you come with me to my house."
"Uhh... sure!"

So no one told you Equestria was gonna be this way?
(clopclopclopclop)
Your work frome home, a tree, your marefriend goes crazy!
It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
When you worry 'bout Tuesday,
we come up
and weep in your ear, but
I'll be there for you!
When the chocolate starts to pour.
I'll be there for you,
give you wings and a horn,
I'll be there for you,
cause you're there for me too!

"Okay, can you please explain to me what's going on?"
"Well, we're new in town."
"You don't have your cutie marks."
"We never got our butt-marky thingies."
"Cutie marks. And at your age, everypony has their cutie marks."
"Well, the exception proves the rule, you know?"
"You lack simple grammar like 'Everypony' and 'Cutie mark'."
"We were badly schooled?" I was unsure of my hasty answer.
"Well good thing you're in a library. You're going to want to read these," she lifted a giant stack of books our way. "these," another giant pile. "and these." She lifted a last pile of books to us. "I'm going to go out for a while. Study up!" She walked out of the open door, but poked her head back in.
"By the way, what are your names?"
I was stumped for an answer. Watson beat me to it, though.
"I'm Shock Watt."
Austin replied next.
"I'm Nay Sayer."
I was left to answer.
"Umm..." I looked around for ideas. I saw one thing that got my attention. Some golden threads were hanging in my eyesight. And if I was a pegasus, then I would have an airy name. Like... Sky. Golden Sky.
"Golden Sky, Twilight. Nice to meet you." I reached out and shook her hoof.
"Nice to meet you too." She gave a happy smile of approval and walked off.
