For a tourist or visitor Ponyville seemed a very calm and picturesque town , the type of town where the more exciting thing was the harvest or the occasional funeral. But they are wrong. Living at a stone throw of the Everfree forest attracted a very peculiar type of ponies and creatures. Overworked mayors, party ponies, zebras, jello-obsessed stallions, and of course the occasional monster.

And this morning the rumor mill in the marketplace was working at full speed. Some kind of monster ( Thunderlane said it was a blue-haired Diamond Dog, and Daisy swears it was a bloodthirsty minotaur with anemia) had terrorized the poor mare that lived in the old cottage at the outskirts of town . And some ponies even said it had taken refuge in an old brick house that wasn't there the day before.

Imagine their surprise when that same monster walked in whistling a happy tune. And more surprisingly it was dressed in a two-piece suit ."Good morning" it said to the stunned  Flower sisters and continued on its path. All the ponies were paralysed in fear and surprisingly some curiosity. They know how to react to a monster ( scream, run , repeat) but a monster in a suit was something that no one knew what to do, all except one that started running to the guard barracks. One of the ponies struck with curiosity was a little yellow earth pony with a giant bow in her mane . Partially hidden behind her grandmother in the Apple Family Apple stand ( ™ pending) 

And like a hawk noticing a wounded pigeon, the creature changed path and walked to the stand with a smile.
"Good morning"
Granny Smith raised an eyebrow with the peace and parsimony of someone that has lived a lot.
"Good morning younung "
" I heard the beautiful apple orchard that borders the town belongs to vostè "
"Yea that is right, ta best apples in all of Equestria"
"Surely, the thing is , I was thinking if you have a place for a new worker " Surprise strike the old mare, and the ponies shamelessly eavesdropping
"What now?"
"Well, yesterday me and my home ended in this lovely town for some reason and I need a new job seeing my old one is…unavailable"
Granny Smith's face softened 
" I'm sorry of hearing that but ourselves are in need of bits and we don't let the first pony that asks work in our apples don't matter how polite and well-dressed the monster that asks"
Carlos smile faltered 
"I understand"
"You can ask around, I'm sure somepony has work for you" All the eavesdroppers suddenly found something more interesting to do. Carlos' smile disappeared.
During all this conversation Appleblom watched the creature in detail, calling him a monster felt wrong for some reason. His wild-brow mane clearly won the battle against a comb for trying to make it straight, just like Pinkie Pie's one. He had a copper-colored beard and mustache like her lumberjack cousin AppleCut.Hidden by that mustache was a pair of big pink lips and a row of sharp teeth. Behind a pair of glasses, his grey eyes sparked with a bit of mischief. He was a little fat but o Celestia he was big. Appleblom calculated he was a hoof taller than Big Mac! Seeing how sad the creature seemed she asked
"What is your name Mister?"
The creature's smile returned " Hello little one I didn't see you there. My name is Carlos "
"And what are you? A creature of the forest?"
"Applebloom! Don't ask that, is impolite"
"No problemo ma'am, I can answer. I'm a human "
"Human? A never heard of that"
"No? Curious. Well, I need to leave. It was a pleasure to talk to you madam Smith and little Appleblom"
"Have a good day young stallion"
"¡Bye Carlos!" 
As he left, Appleblom turned to her grandmother "What was that granny?" 
"A young human it seems "
"And what is a human?"
"I dunno but he was polite and respectful and that is what is important"

Hidden behind a tree a mare watched with professional attention. She was officially retired but nopony left SMILE for real these days. Princess Celestia asked personally to have a sleeping agent guarding Ponyville and reporting everything that happened directly to her. No one in the agency knows for sure why but  Agent Sweetie Drops prides herself on being a professional and the appearance of this human was an unexpected development.'Did he say something about a house? Let's infiltrate'.And with that, though the mare officially named BonBon left, but first, she needed to find Lyra and drag her to work in her shop, the candy wasn't gonna sell itself.

In the tallest building of Ponyville, a tan mare looked with apprehension at the mountain of paperwork on her desk that arrived by RPE( Royal Pegasus Express) from Canterlot 5 minutes ago.  Ivory Scroll , known by her neighbors by the name Mayor Mare, scanned with professional speed the documents and what was in it wasn't good news. Ponyville was granted the honor of hosting this year's Summer Sun celebration. And more strange, the document suggested ( demanded) that 5 specific mares carried the brunt of the job. Why these 5 mares she didn't know. 

Mayor Mare took a quill and tried to start the job of organizing a national holiday in only 2 months with the budget of a hug and a sandwich when somepony knocked at the door of her office.

"Pencil Pusher please tell me a pegasus from Canterlot is here to take back this paperwork" A young unicorn entered the office adjusting his small glasses "No ma'am, but , em,i think we have a 5xd7 situation"
"A 5xd7? " Mayor Mare looked from the window " Are you sure? I don't see burning buildings or royal guards recruits running for their lives "
" Yes Mayor, I'm sure a monster entered the town"
" And how are you so sure?"
"Em, he is in the waiting room and asked to see you"
"WHAT"
Mayor Mare sprinted past the scared grey unicorn and poked her head into the waiting room. And here it was,a monster. A monster in a two-piece suit looking at a rectangle in his hand with a smile on his strange face.
" Is like the unholy child of a minotaur and a scaleless dragon"
Without moving the eyes of his hand the monster responded " You know I can hear you right? And that was a little mean by the way"  Trying to defuse the situation and save her hide Mayor Mare entered the room with her best politician face, that in comparison to the politicians in Carlos's world wasn't even worthy of a primary education class delegate. " I apologize for the words of my subordinate. He is now in the job you see ?"
"Apologies accepted " Seeing the situation defused, Mayor Mare asked "You wanted to see me, Mister..?
"Carlos, and yes I would like to talk to vostè I mean you "
"Then pass to my office "

Inside the office, Mayor Mare seated behind her desk "Well, what can I help you with?" Carlos tried to seat in the opposing chair but after a dying scream of the wood of the old chair he opted to remain up."I want to be registered as citizen of Ponyville"The mayor eyebrows started to rise"That can be arranged"
"And register my house too"
"Your house?. Wait , you aren't exactly from Equestria, no?"
"Yes, in from….far far away"
Mayor Mare grabbed an old big dusty time from one of the bookshelves and started to look from something. "You say you and your house were suddenly transported here from your home country?"
Now was Carlos turn to be surprised
"Yes, that was exactly what happened"
Tapping her hoof two times in a concret page in the book Mayor Mare said .
"You and I are in luck , this happened before and there is old legislation about it."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. On towns like Ponyville , Shires Hollow, or Jaruya that are built near or inside Territories of the Wild is not uncommon to wild magic shenanigans. Here says the protocol to follow in this exact situation"
"And what does it say? Carlos' coolness was diminishing by the second.
In a fast movement and with the speed and force of her tribe Mayor Mare grabbed the book and smashed poor Carlos's head with it. He was out instantly.
"First step, neutralize the possible danger. The second step is medical. Pencil Pusher !"
The pony entered the office" Yes Mayor?" 
"Help me carry Mister Carlos to the hospital"
