Asta walked around the Ponyvile and he saw how colorful and peaceful is. He looked around many different types of ponies. Back to the farm, Applejack told him that he should say somepony, anypony instead of someone and anyone because that’s the way of pony talk in this world
"Ok, let's see here..." Asta looked down at the list, reading the locations and what he needed to get for Applejack. "From Carousel Boutique, I need to pick up Big Mac's suit? I'm not sure it would fit him. A weather schedule from Rainbow Dash. Medicine for Winona from Fluttershy. And some orders from Sugarcube Corner. Doesn't seem that hard! Yosh, Let's ask somepony!"
Asta began asking around to find out where the first location on his list was, and though he was pointed in the direction, they all said he would find it pretty easily. Taking their word for it, he walked along the path and he finally made it to the boutique so he knocked on the door
"Just a minute!" he heard a feminine voice from inside. A moment later, the door opened and revealing a white unicorn filly, her mane, and tail a swirl of light pink and fuchsia. "How can I...help...you...?"
As she looked up at him, she began to blush. "Hi there! Is the owner of the Carousel Boutique here?"
She didn't respond, still staring at him with those big eyes of hers. And somehow, Asta looked at her and had no idea why her face is red, though. It's just like Noelle and Minosa. Their face is always red when he is near them. Before he could ask her if she was feeling ok, she shut the door and leaving him outside. He titled head in confusion
"Sweetie Belle, you know it's rude to slam the door on somepony like that!" an older female voice scolded the filly as she opened the door to greet Asta. The mare was a unicorn-like filly with a white coat, but her mane was a dark purple and styled in an elegant curl. Her cutie mark was three blue diamonds. "I am so sorry about that, sir. I have no idea what got into my sister"
"It's ok! Maybe she feels sick a bit. So this is the Carousel Boutique, right?" Asta asked and looked at the shop
"Indeed it is, darling. And this is also my home, though .My shop is on the ground floor. My name is Rarity, the owner of the Carousel Boutique, where everything is chic, unique, and magnifique" the unicorn proudly announced, flipping her mane with style.
"Hi, Rarity! I'm Asta!" Asta pulled out the list that Applejack gave him. "I'm doing a few errands for Applejack while she's busy on the farm. I'm here to pick up her brother's suit!"
"Hmmm...Applejack has actually hired somepony to help on her farm?" Rarity questioned.
"To tell the truth is I got knocked up last night so she allowed me to stay in her farm for a while" Asta said in embarrassment while scratching the back of his head
"Oh. I see. I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Asta. Come on in and make yourself comfortable." Rarity allowed Asta inside, and he got a better look at the inside of the boutique
Asta looked around and saw many mannequins shaped like ponies, some of them wearing some very fashionable dresses, a variety of designs hanging on some display racks, a couple of dressing rooms for customers to try on the clothes, a catwalk for possible fashion shows, and in the back, he could see her workroom, spotting a few designs on sketch paper next to a sewing machine. Along with the hundreds of dresses, there were a few suits meant for stallions, though there didn't seem to be that many stallions in Ponyville from the ponies he saw through town.
Asta took a look at some of the dresses, all of them meant to be worn by ponies
"Here we are!" Rarity finally came out from her workroom downstairs, and carrying the large suit in a blue aura, her horn glowing the same color. "I just hope that stallion doesn't rip it up again with his hulking frame. A pony his size with muscles that big can be hard to make something fashionably flexible."
"Really? I guess he does do some training" Asta said as Rarity levitated the business attire over his back. And Asta tried pulled out the bag of coins on his pouch but it's hard to take it out "Ugh. Oh c'mon! Hey, Rarity can you take the bag of coins inside this pouch?"
"No need to pay, Asta. Applejack already paid for the outfit." Rarity placed a hoof to her chin, examining the earth pony "Although, with your svelte body..." She hovered some measuring tape and a notepad and pen over, moving it around Asta. She got his measurements and wrote down his size. "Hmm...I think that's everything. And you have strong muscles, though. They are almost bigger than Big Mac"
"Yeah. I did some training when I was 5" Asta answered "Really? That's really impressive, darling"
"Thanks! But wait, you're going to make me something? " Asta questioned.
"Well, for first-time customers, my first outfit for them is always free." Rarity's business practice seemed a bit off to Asta
This was the first time the two have met, and she was just going to make something for him for free, without payment. He was snapped out of his shock when the fashion designer giggled at his dumbstruck silence. "Yes, I know. A bit strange, but my generosity the first time around brings ponies back to my business. And if they like what I make, they'll come around for more."
"Uhh, thanks but I can wait to see what is clothes you made for me! " Asta was curious to know what kind of outfit the unicorn would make for him
"Perfect! It'll be ready within a couple weeks. It would have been sooner, but with the Summer Sun Celebration coming up, I've got so many orders to fill out," Rarity said with an apologetic look
"Don't worry, I can wait" Asta said "Well, I better finish up the rest of Applejack's errands before the sun goes down. It was nice meeting you and your little sister, Rarity!"
As Asta left the boutique, Rarity didn't notice that the unicorn's little sister, Sweetie Belle, was hiding around the corner while her face is still blushing because his look and his eyes color is as same as her eyes color
Asta made his way down the road to his next stop, but Asta felt a Ki is nearby him as he looked around and saw nothing. He didn't know what is it so he will deal with it later
While asking some ponies around to look for Rainbow Dash, but the ponies kept telling him she was in some random location with each area. As he looked back down at the list, he was wondering why Applejack needed a weather schedule for her farm. He understood the trees need water to stay alive and grow their crops, but for him, can someone control the weather like using the magic
"In this world, they can control the weather?"
Suddenly Asta felt the Ki is coming and hearing someone shouting. Asta turned and saw something is moving very fast. He looks it closer and sees the pegasus is flying towards him. Asta didn't want Big Mac's suit to get dirty so he put it somewhere near. And the pegasus ram into him and make a big crater
"Ouch. You ok? the pegasus asked him. She has a blue body, magenta eyes, and a rainbow-striped mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a white cloud shooting out a red, yellow, and blue lightning bolt
"Yeah. I'm ok" Asta answered as he stands up. "Sorry about that. I kinda misjudged my trick and lost control of my flight and ram right into you"
"Don't worry. I have been through a lot. My name is Asta" Asta introduced and held his hoof out
"I'm Rainbow Dash! The Fastest Flyer in all of Equestria " she proudly introduced herself as she shook the stallion's hoof
"Oh, so you're the Rainbow Dash I'm looking for. I'm running an errand for Applejack, and she needs this weather schedule that you have" Asta explained as he pulled out the list
"Oh...The weather schedule. Forgot about that. Hang on a sec" Rainbow sped off into the sky, nearly knocking him over. A few seconds later, she came back, and carrying the weather schedule. "Here you go"
"Wow, that was fast!" He took the schedule and put it in the pouch "Pretty cool, right?" she said proudly
"I've never seen somepony can going very fast like this!" Asta said with star eyes "I thought Luck was the fastest!"
"Luck? Somepony that can go faster?" Rainbow dash asked him
"Yeah. I have a friend who can go fast. I heard everypony called him is Smiling Battle Maniac because he always smiles and wanted to battle somepony who is strong" Asta said and she surprised about that "Whoa... I have never seen somepony wanted to fight"
"Yeah. You could say that. So, I got to go! I need to finish Applejack's errands! It was nice to meet you!" Asta said as he goes to pick the suit up
"Okay! See you soon!" Rainbow dash waved and flew away in speed
"Ok, next is medicine for Applejack's pet collie, and she said Fluttershy lived in a cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville. Yosh! Let's find that cottage!" Asta keeps walking and asking somepony
As he walked up to the top of the hill, he spotted the cottage up ahead, not too far away from what looked like an overgrown forest, the foliage in that area wild and unkempt. The cottage was more in tune with nature, a bridge crossing over a small river, with several different animals roaming around the peaceful environment. Birds of all species, squirrels, rabbits, weasels, mice, even chickens in a coop in the backyard of the nature home. As for Asta, he has never seen any kind of animals like this. He has only seen anti-bird, boar with fire stripes on them and some others
Asta approaching the door, and knocked it, hearing someone yelping in surprise from inside. "Hello!? Is there a Fluttershy living here!?"
"C-Coming" Asta could hear the quiet voice and he waited.
Slowly, the door opened up a crack, a timid blue eye peeking through. "Hi." The pony squealed in fright and retreated back inside. He titled head in confusion and doesn't understand what is going on
Before he could knock again, he heard a small door open up from the front door, a small white rabbit walking out and looking up at him. "Hi there, little guy. Is Fluttershy here?"
The bunny suddenly glared at him and nodded. "Ok. So, I kinda need some medicine for Applejack's dog, Winona. Can you tell her out?"
The rabbit sighed, almost as if it was annoyed at something. He pointed his paw down, wanting to be let down, he gets inside. Asta heard some noise going on inside, wondering what was happening inside
He got his answer as the front door swung open and the rabbit pushed a yellow pegasus mare outside, her mane a long pink that covered part of her face and almost reached the ground. As she tried to retreat back inside, the rabbit shut the door on her, the sound of a lock clicking as the critter locked its owner out of her own home, Asta saw her cutie mark, being a trio of blue butterflies with pink wings
"That's very rude" Asta muttered. The shy mare slowly turned around, her back against the door, trying to hide behind her long mane
"Hey, don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you or anything. I just came by to pick up something for Applejack while she's busy working in her orchard"
"Anyway, my name's Asta" he introduced himself and held a hoof out to the pegasus. She didn't move or look at him, too shy to do anything. "...What's your name?"
"...Umm...M-My name's Fluttershy..." Fluttershy said quietly
"So your name is Fluttershy. Nice to meet you" Asta said and she surprised."Y-You... c-can hear me..."
"Yes, I can hear you. You look shy though but don't worry, you don't have to be shy around me. I'm not bad at all" Asta said with a smile. "O-okay... H-here your medicine..."
Asta taking the small bottle from his mouth and put it inside the pouch
"Thanks, Fluttershy. It was nice to meet you" Asta left Fluttershy and the bunny alone
As he headed back down to Ponyville for the last thing to grab on the list. As the rabbit headed back inside, unlocked the door, and let the pegasus back inside, she ran in faster than Rainbow Dash took off
For the last thing on the list, it was pretty easy to find Sugarcube Corner. The ponies telling him the bakery is a giant house of sweets so It was easy to find. And as he found the bakery, it looked like a massive building that looked like a realistically baked gingerbread house, littered with sprinkles and icing. It's weird for him. He has never seen the house that is made of sweets
"If Charmy saw this, she would eat the whole thing" Asta said
As he's entering the bakery and the smell of the food inside is actually good. Suddenly, his stomach is growling again. Good thing, he brought his gold coins from his world because he doesn't know what money is this world using
He approached the counter after a customer grabbed their order, watching a gray pegasus mare with blonde hair flutter to an empty table, snacking on a muffin. On the other side, he could see a yellow earth pony stallion with an orange mane in the kitchen area, busy making some more goods to bake, while ringing up the orders was a blue earth pony mare with a pink mane.
"Hello! Welcome to Sugarcube Corner!" the chubby mare greeted. "How can I help you, dearie?"
"I'm here to picking up an order for Applejack" he said.
"Oh. I guess she must be pretty busy on the farm. Wait just a moment" The mare headed into the back of the house to pick up the order. The mare came back with a box that contained Applejack's order. "Here you go. Applejack already paid for it earlier this morning."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Asta placed the box from behind his back
As he turned around to leave, he immediately bumped into someone, he was shocked that the Ki just appeared right there. "Hi!"
"...Uhh...hello?" Asta backed away, his face mere inches away from the mare.
He got a better look at her, a pink earth pony with hair as poofy as a cloud, also pink, giving him the biggest grin. "You must be new around Ponyville, right? Huh? Huh? Huh!?"
She began bouncing in place, Asta's eyes following her jumping form. "Yes. I'm new here"
"I knew it!" she shouted, and it didn't seem like the patrons or even the two ponies working in the establishment were bothered by her outburst. She grabbed one of his forehooves and shook it hard, causing his entire body to move up and down along with his shaken limb. "I'm Pinkie Pie, and I'm here to be your new friend!"
She finally stopped shaking his hoof, his body shuddering on its own as if caught in a miniature earthquake. "Y-Y-Yeah! C-C-C-Cool! M-M-My B-B-Body W-Won't S-S-Stop S-S-Shaking!" After he finally felt control in his body, he managed to get a look at Pinkie's cutie mark; three balloons, one yellow and two blue. "So, My name's Asta!"
"Asta? That sounds like Pasta to me!" the pink mare said. "THAT'S WHAT YUNO CALLED ME! I HATE IT!"
Asta felt her Ki is similar from before. He realized she is the one following him "Wait! You are the one who has been following me from Carousel Boutique to here!"
"GASP* HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT I WAS SPYING ON YOU?!" the pink mare gasped
"I have a technique that I can sense somepony who is nearby!" Asta answered
"Whoa! I never meet anypony can do that! That's really AWESOME!" Pinkie said with her big smile
"Well, nice to meet you, Pinkie Pie! But I kinda need to deliver this stuff to Applejack down at Sweet Apple Acres before it gets late!" Asta said
"But I need to throw you a party!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Every new pony I meet in Ponyville deserves a party, that way you can make more friends, and have fun, and eat food and drink punch!"
"How about later? I kinda just got here. So, I wanted to get to know more in Ponyville before having fun" Asta told her
" Oh Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie bounded over the counter and somehow appeared in the kitchen next to the stallion, wearing a baker's cap and an apron.
Asta titled head in confusion as he looked over to the mare at the counter, shaking her head. "Dearie, it's better not to question Pinkie Pie."
"I see...Guess I won't need to know about her..." Looking back in the window to the kitchen, Pinkie was busy making something, which was now hidden behind a curtain that wasn't there before. "...Uhh...is she working here?"
"Of course! She works here," the mare laughed as Asta scratched his head in confusion. "She may be a bit wild, but she can make some pretty good patries. Just be prepared for one of her 'Welcome to Ponyville' parties."
"Okay... So uhh, I guess I'll be going now" Asta left the bakery
With the list completed and the items he got for Applejack, Asta headed back to Sweet Apple Acres. He is ready for training for his new body and doing the chores tomorrow
He looked at the Ponyvile again and he has decided it "Maybe this world doesn't seem bad at all. I mean my world doesn't have any threat anymore so I'll stay here"
