Chapter 2 : Culture Shock
Part 1
"Thanks again, Pinkie Pie." Crux said, walking out of Sugarcube Corner with a doughnut he had bought and the Sugarcube Corner free complimentary cupcake.
"You're welcome again too!" Pinkie Pie giggled from behind the candy-coated counter. "Have a nice day!"
As he reached the door Crux began to reply with, "I'll tr-"
"Twitchy twitcha twitch!" Pinkie shouted loudly while holding her rapidly twitching tail.
"What?"
"Just watch out for stuff falling from the sky, silly." The pink pony replied, as if Crux had just asked her how to spell the letter a.
"...alright...bye." He managed to say out of complete and utter confusion.
"Now which one should I eat first?" The griffon thought to himself, eyeing both treats with hungry eyes. "I pick you, you little cup-"
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER MONSTER HUNTERS, YAY!"
"...what?" Was all Crux could manage before three fillies landed on him from nowhere, smashing the green-iced cupcake into his chest plumage and throwing the doughnut into a puddle of mud.
"YEAH, GOTCHYA!" One of the three fillies shouted, grappling one of his wings.
"Hey, get o-"
"WEEEEEE! GET ALONG LITTLE PONY!" Another filly wearing a red ribbon yelled, while jumping on the miserable griffon's back.
"Agh, that hurts!" Crux managed out a muffled complaint.
"ARE THEY HERE YET, DID WE GET 'EM?" The orange pegasus asked excitedly, causing all of them to rapidly check their flanks.
"No, awwwwwww!" All three of them cried.
"Well ah thought we'd get 'em for sure this time." The yellow filly pouted.
"GIRLS!" An angry white unicorn shouted, running towards the ponypile. "What in Equestria are you doing to this poor-"
"uuugh, please..." Crux muttered.
"This poor... Oh, oh my." The fashionable unicorn slipped out of her fury when she realized that the pile didn't entirely consist of ponies.
"...p-please..."
"Oh, I'm so sorry about that!" She said ,regaining her composure and shooing the fillies off of him.
"...p-please my tail..."
"What was that dear? I can't hear you."
"...you're standing on...my tail..." Crux squeeked out.
The pomp pony jumped off of the tail in a flash. "Are you okay Mister...."
"Crux." He replied picking himself off of the ground and remains of the once delicious cupcake.
"...Crux! Well, what a beautiful name for such a forgiving griffon." She continued, grinning widly.
"Uh-huh..." Crux sighed as he stared at where his doughnut had found its soggy grave.
"Oh my! Was that your lunch?"
"*sigh* yeah, pretty much. I guess I'll go get another." He said sadly.
"Oh no no no no no no no no NO!" The curly maned unicorn was almost shouting. "I'll take you to lunch at a real restaurant to make up for this." She waved a hoof towards the three fillies trying to hide behind each other.
"Wow, thank you that's grea-"
"After we get you cleaned up at my Boutique that is."
"...wait, what?" And with that Crux was dragged to Carousel Boutique with three fillie running behind shouting "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER GRIFFON CLEANERS, YAY!"
