Chapter 2: A Pony Greeting

The trio were still walking til they saw a castle in the shape of a tree covered in purple crystals. George and Harold were staring at it in awe seeing a beautiful sight.

"Wow! Look at this! It's like a tree! A beautiful tree!" Harold complimented.

"Im glad you like it. That's only the outside. Wait till you see the inside and fun fact: one of my friends lives in there." Pinkie responded.

The boys smiled as they all went inside the castle. They looked around seeing all sorts of books like a library. Only this one is more tidy and clean unlike the one they had in their school. They went in a room where 6 other ponies and a dragon were discussing something. The ponies were an ailcorn and 2 regular unicorns white and light purple and lavender, 2 pegasus blue and yellow, a regular earth pony that's orange with a Steadson hat and a purple dragon with green scales. They saw the boys and were in shock.

"Um Pinkie? Who are they? Are they dangerous?" The yellow pony asked scared.

"No Fluttershy. I assure you that they are completely harmless and not dangerous." Pinkie answered.

"Pinkie I thought I told you that you can't just bring strangers in here first hand. You need to tell me about this and then we can see if they are completely harmless." The purple ailcorn said.

"Sorry Twilight. I forgot. Anyways they need help getting used to Ponyville and was wondering if we can help them." Pinkie offered.

"Well alright." Twilight said as she went to the boys. "So you two. What's your names?"

"Hi. Im George Beard. And this my best friend Harold Hutchins."

"Hey."

"Well nice to meet you George and Harold. Im Twilight Sparkle."

"Im Rainbow Dash! The fastest pony in all of Equestria!"

"Howdy youngins my name's Applejack."

"I am Rarity darlings."

"Nice to meet you. Im Starlight Glimmer."

"Im Spike. Twilight's assistant."

"And what's your name miss?" George asked Fluttershy.

"Im...Fluttershy." She said quietly.

"Sorry we didn't catch that. Come again?" Harold asked.

"It's Fluttershy." She squeaked.

"We still can't hear you. Can you speak up?" George asked.

"Sorry about that. Her name's Fluttershy. She's a little shy around new ponies or your case people." Twilight told them.

"Ohh." George and Harold said in unison realizing.

"So darlings. What are you doing here?" Rarity asked.

"Well we were playing pranks on Melvin by controlling his invention and watching out for Mr Krupp til we got sucked in a portal and ended up here." Harold explained.

"Melvin? Who's Melvin?" Twilight wondered.

"And who's Mr Krupp?" Rainbow asked.

"Well the boys told me that Krupp is a mean principal from their school and hates anything fun! I don't like mean grumpy pants like him!" Pinkie answered.

"Yeah what she said. As for Melvin he's the teacher's pet and our personal rival. He always taddle tell on us a lot and we try playing pranks to get back at him." George responded.

"You guys like pranks? Well I think we can get along just fine. Cause I like pranks too!" Rainbow smiled.

"Really? That's awesome!" Harold said.

"Great! But I gotta ask you this. Do you always prank this Krupp guy a lot as well as Melvin?" Rainbow wondered.

"Oh yeah plenty of times. See reason why we do pranks is because Krupp always tried making Jermone Horowitz Elementary a calibrated drone like beehive. So he left us with no choice. Our pranks and practical jokes are basically the last line of defense that we have against Melvin and our terrible principal." George explained.

"Well darlings I can appreciate that everyone needs a good laugh. But surely they can't be that bad." Rarity complimented.

"Rarity if you saw what our school looked like you be saying a different story. It's like a prison in there." Harold told her.

"Boys. If i may I wish to see if that school really was horrible and why you did those pranks." Twilight offered.

"And how will you do that?" George asked.

"Magic. I'll use a spell to look inside your memories and see if it was bad." Twilight explained.

"Go ahead. Just don't hurt us." Harold told her.

Then Twilight used her magic to look inside their memory banks and see the images of their school. And sure enough they were right. Their principal was so mean that he banned the art and music programs and forced the kids to do everything they have to do. Even the teachers were mean and didn't care one bit about helping them. Then see the boys planning pranks and jokes to get some laughter in the students. After her horn stopped glowing the boys shook their heads and groaned a little. Twilight was stunned.

"Oh my. Your principal really is the worst principal in the world. If he hates fun that much then he shouldn't be principal at all." Twilight stated.

"You got that right. But we try to make sure that everyone gets some laughter in. Heck we even make comic books for fun." Harold said.

"You guys make comics? About what?" Spike asked.

"We make them about our favorite superhero: The Amazing Captain Underpants!" George responded.

"See girls most superheroes look like they fly around in their underwear. But this guy actually does! And here's something exciting. Every time we make a comic about Captain Underpants the adventure comes to life and we try to help him save the day." Harold explained.

"Wow! You guys actually have adventures from your comics?! I think I have two new buddies! What adventures did you have? Tell me!" Rainbow smiled.

"Well when we first hypothesized him we started with taking down an evil baby genius named Dr. Diaper, stopped an army of talking toilets, defeated a wicked wedgie woman, stopped a guy named Poopypants from wiping out laughter, we even took down a Homework Hydra and so much more." George responded.

"Wowie wow! You guys are so creative that you actually defeated those villains from your comics! And that Poopypants guy sounds so funny!" Rainbow laughed.

"I have to say boys that you guys had some crazy adventures from that. And Rainbow is a fan of you. How's about we give you a tour of Ponyville?" Twilight offered.

"Sure. We wish to see what lies in store." Harold said.

"Oh it has everything! You'll love it! Let's go girls!" Pinkie declared.

So everyone headed out to show George and Harold everything Ponyville has to offer. The boys were sure going to getting along with the ponies just fine.
