"So many ponies." I comment as I look around the town. A lot of them shot weird glances at me. Some either out of fear and others curiosity.
"Well that's ponyville. Filled with every kind of pony. You're the first of your kind to come here so don't mind their reactions. They will warm up to you as time passes on." She takes me around town showing me the markets, restaurants, her friends house's, and teaches me about their currency.
"So you call them bits? Why not gold? Kinda looks like gold."
"I'm not sure." Twilight responded.
"So I've got a few questions."
"Ask away."
"What's with the weather? The clouds don't move at all and there's no wind either."
"We have pegasi to control the weather. The schedule for the weather is given out to tell others in advance."
"Wow! Where I come from the weather isn't controlled by anyone or pony. Same thing with night and day."
"Then how do you prepare or get night and day cycle?"
"We have a weather man or weather pony as you would call them, who use machines to predict the weather and the planet rotates which is what causes day and night."
"Could you tell me anything about those things?" Twilight's eyes were sparkling.
"Not really. I don't know anything about the machines they use and the science behind the earth rotation is just too much for me to explain." I can't tell what it is but something feels odd. "Oh any idea where I'll be staying?"
"No but the Princess will send me a message once she has got a place." We walked back to Applejack's farm.
"Howdy Twilight. What are ya doing now?"
"I finished showing..."
"You can call me Ferris. I think I prefer that name over 'Betty'.".
"I finished showing Ferris around town and thought we can help you out with some apple picking."
"Ah, that would be nice Twi. Ferris, can ya kick a tree?"
"Or punch."
"Perfect. Then let's get to it." Applejack said.
I had a bit of trouble figuring out how much strength to use for the tree so I decided to try and copy Applejack. I worked but I could only get a few out of the tree. I shouted,"Ack" when an apple bonked me on the head. I heard them giggling a little bit before they asked me if I was ok. "Yeah I'm fine. Stupid tree..." I muttered the last part, rubbing the spot the apple hit. Akumu guarded me from any further attacks from apples. More of twilight's friends joined us in picking apples and we had it done within a few hours. Then, the worst thing happened. They began...to sing. The sang and danced like they were in a musical. So long music short, friendship conquers everything. I would of joined them but the whole town got involved. I thought it was a flash mob type of thing but when I asked, they said it's never planned. What the hell. How do they come up with words that go along with the song and where does the music even come from? I'm getting fried just trying to think about it so I pretend it never happened. Ignorance is bliss as they say. We stayed at Applejack's house for a bit.
"You should try our pie. It's really good."
"I'm not sure if I even can eat. Or if I even have taste buds. So I think I'll pass." I don't have internal organs or blood veins. Not even a brain. It seems most of my being is my soul so how would I even digest food I've eaten? Then a big pony comes in. He might as well be pure muscle because if he'd kick me, I think my body would snap in half. You feel your sins crawling down your back...even though you've done nothing wrong.
"C'mon sugar cube, just try it. I guarantee you will love it."
"Alright. I'll give it a shot." I take a bite...and my taste buds explode. "It tastes amazing!" I say as I eat more.
"Glad ya like it. We pried ourselves in making the best pie around." She says with a tip of her hat. "Would ya like some more?"
I finish eating the pie and sigh satisfied. "No thank you. But I can't tell you how good it tasted." Now I'm worried about it. Maybe it'll just be absorbing into my magic? We stayed there chatting for a few more hours before spike comes in and hands Twilight a scroll.
"Hey Ferris, the Princess has gotten you a house. Would you like to see it?"
"Yeah. It's getting dark and I'd like to see where I'm staying. Lead the way." The trip takes us to the outskirts of town which is a bit much but the house looks really nice. I open the door and I hear a hissing sound and get struck by a sudden wave of sleepiness.
"Are you alright? You seem a bit unsteady."
"Yeah I'm just tired. I think all the earlier work is catching up to me. I'll see ya tomorrow twilight."
"Night then."
I enter the house and close the door behind me. The drowsiness is only getting worse. I stumble around the house knocking a few things over before I finally find the bed. I flop onto the bed and lay facing up. Akumu was already fast asleep. I looked up at the ceiling and I thought I saw a figure holding a sharp object as I slowly feel asleep. Woosh...Crack
