Dad always said there was something off about ponies. Always talked about how they were the work of the Devil. That Equestria was the place where men became sinners. The road to Hell.

If this is Hell, then let me stay with her.

The application for a visa was the biggest hurdle to get here. The flight two weeks back was populated with only a handful of people. I only knew that because most were business-class; I sat at the front of economy, alone. Or I would have if it weren't for her.

Little Leap is her name. She's an earth pony. A curling crimson tail. An equally red mane, backed by a ponytail she swears by. A tan coat that's softer than a chick's down. Two gorgeous, soul-gazing sapphire eyes. A cutie-mark with a crashing ocean wave, awash with foam.

She'd been looking for something on Earth. Came back on my flight when her time ran out. She wasn't too sure what she'd been looking for.

On that plane, she made a promise. A promise of purpose. To show me her world. To show me her side of Equestria. 

Her hometown is a sweet place that's out of the way. None of the business types or journalists come out here. Most of the ponies are ambivalent to my presence, but many do accept me. They're good people. Quiet, but I can do that.

I love her. I haven't told her. Not yet. I don't want to ruin what she has. I don't know if she feels the same. I just want her to stay happy.

As long as Little Leap is happy, I'm happy.
