I Searched for food and found nothing. The most I got to eat was a mouthful of guilt. With a sigh, I melted into a shadow and waited for daybreak. When the sun rose, it kept going until it was in the middle of the sky and it went pretty fast too. With the sun like this, there are very little shadows that I can stay in. So instead, I use the shadows of either ponies passing by, or animals flying overhead. During this, I noticed that ponies seem to be the dominant and sapient species here. There also seem to be different types with different tattoos. Regular ponies, Pegasus, and Unicorns.
"Over here Twilight. This is where I saw them." When I looked, the pony from yesterday was leading a purple Unicorn to the spot I stayed in till the day. "I last saw them here."
Twilight went into the alley and used some kind of magic. "Well, nothing is here now. Thank you for letting me know. I'll tell the rest of my friends." They both trot off into the town somewhere. I thought about leaving until the scent of sweets caught my nose. It may not be the most nutritious food, but it should hold me until I can find something better. I use the same routine until I get closer to the scent's origin. It's a house made out of candies and gingerbread. I create a portal and go inside, then end up inside the candy house. It's rather dark. Well, that's better for me.
The scent led me to a rainbow cupcake on a table. Smells heavenly. I go for in for a bite.
"Hi!" I feel a touch accompanied by the greeting and yelp in surprise. I look down towards a pink pony. "Wow! Are you new in town? I've never seen you in town so you MUST be new! OOH! We should throw you a welcoming party! By the way, name is Pinkie Pie, and" This pink pony goes on a long ramble at an incredible pace about parties and the stuff they've done. It's overwhelming. My stomach growls which seems to interrupt her. I turn towards to cupcake and try to eat it only for the pink pony to take it away.
"You can't eat a cupcake like that silly. You're supposed to take off the wrapper first." She proceeds to remove a thin layer of some kind of material from the cupcake and then hands it out to me. I carefully take it out of her hoof and begin to chew. The flavors are indescribable. "Do you like it?" I nod as I take my time, savoring the cupcake. "Then you'll LOOVE your cake!" She says happily.
"Hey Pinkie Pie, my cupcake ready? Also, we have a problem." I lick my lips clean and look at the door. A Pegasus with a mane color that matched the cupcake flew in.
"Sorry Rainbow Dash, I gave it to wolfie."
"Who's that?" Rainbow Dash asks. A curtain suddenly appears, and pinkie pulls them back and introduces me like a stage producer introducing their actor. She's even dressed up as one. Rainbow Dash's eyes widen. Just then, Twilight walks in from behind her.
"Something wr-" She then sees me. "I thought she was exaggerating when she said it was taller than Princess Celestia." Her eyes are filled with caution but limitless curiosity.

The ponies looked up at the wolf like creature as it towered over them. Rainbow Dash and Twilight were ready for a fight but Pinkie was just having a great time, bouncing around giddy for the welcome party she planned. They watched as 52 backed into the shadows.
"Oh no you don't." Twilight says as she fires a magic bolt at them, only for it to hit the wall. "It got away."

So, I got outa there. I'm back at where I started yesterday. Outside the town. I sigh in defeat. The only thing I got to eat today was a cupcake. My stomach grumbles. I'm about to give up when I see a rabbit out the corner of my eye. Perfect. I once again stick to the shadows, as I get closer to the rabbit. Somethings off about it. Though I can't seem to pinpoint what it is. I pounce and toss the rabbit into the air. I jump to snatch it out of the air only for a yellow blur to whiz by, snatching the rabbit away. A yellow pony with a pink mane. She looks furious. I suddenly have a bad feeling.
She flies up to my level and begins to stare me down. "And what do you think you're doing trying to eat Angel? You don't eat other creatures here just because you feel like it!" Jesus Christ She's terrifying. With each word, she gets closer to my face, forcing me to back down until I'm completely crouched. I slowly move backwards.
"Oh, don't you even think about running away missy! Didn't your parents teach you any manners?! Now apologize to Angel right now." She says sternly. I turn towards the rabbit and bow as low as I possibly can.
I am so sorry Angel.
"There." She lands right next to me. My stomach growls loudly and I slightly wince at the stomach pain. "So you were that hungry? Just wait here." I do as she says and stay put. The rabbit follows her closely. She eventually comes out with a few plates of different food.

Fluttershy brings 52 a plate of carrots, peaches, and a watermelon. She watches as 52 sniffs the plates and gobbles up the food quickly. "Wow. You must've been really hungry."
"No Fish or anything huh? I still need more food..."
"I've got some fish. How many do you want?" 52 looks at Fluttershy surprised.
"You can understand me?"
"Yes. Why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Can you bring me five fish please? 52 asks politely.
"Sure thing." Fluttershy returns with the fish and wonders how to give it to 52. 52 sticks her tongue out. Fluttershy gets the idea and places the fish and watches as 52 chews on them.
"That wasn't enough to fill me but thank you very much. My name is Experiment 52. What's yours?
"I'm Fluttershy." 52 nods and continues chewing her food. Fluttershy watches as 52's ears constantly flick. She reaches to pet them and gets pushed backwards by 52. Fluttershy watches as a magic bolt then pierces through her head, creating a hole and splashing black liquid out the other side.
