Ponyville was... very much like any other town he'd been to. A lot like the one he'd grown up in, too. Of course, the Behemoth had changed things there too, but aside from that and aside from the giant castle in the middle it was hardly distinguishable from any pony town like it he could think of. The place Wick Clip lived in was almost exactly like it in many things.
"Hey! You must be new around here! I think you are at least, I don't recognise your face and I'm pretty sure I know everyone here in Ponyville and oh goodness I don't know you I really apologise if I somehow never noticed you all this time but I doubt that would be possible and actually I'm sure it isn't so that means you're new here so welcome to Ponyville!"
"Pinkie Pie, I assume," the stallion said before actually turning towards the bouncing pink mass that had appeared at his side. Once he did look at her, his mouth fell open and stayed there for a few moments, and then he frowned. "You should not be able to function."
Pinkie stopped in midair to consider that, then shrugged and landed. "I should get you a cake. Or a song. Or a party! Oh! A party with songs and cake, yes. If you're staying. You are staying, right?"
Looking away from the nonsensical jumble of pink wires inside and outside the mare before he got a headache from it, the stallion answered, "I might be staying. I'm here to see Twilight. Do you happen to know where she is?"
"She's not here today," Pinkie replied. "She took the train and left earlier this morning. We could organise your party while we wait! I'm sure I can squeeze a party in between everything else I need to do." She suddenly gasped. "Wait! I didn't even ask you your name! You knew mine and I didn't even bother to ask for yours! How did you know mine, by the- No, wait, what's your name?"
