The Moonwind Chronicles

Chapter 3

Moonwind was following Applejack, but he had to keep blowing his mane out of his eyes. He had had the same problem in his world since he liked to keep his hair long. However, it was much harder to keep it out of his hair since it insisted upon falling straight back down into his eyes. He was actually finding it amusing. He could also tell it was annoying Applejack, but she was trying her best to keep from telling him so. He smiled at thought and attempted to get the hair to finally stay put. He succeeded.

He smiled, but before he could do anything else, some rammed straight into him and sent him sprawling. He looked up to see a pink pony bouncing around Applejack and talking too quickly for him to follow.

Before he could stand back up the pink pony was right near him bouncing and talking, it seemed almost without pause.

"Ohmygosh. A new pony, here in Ponyville. So that must mean he's new and maybe visiting someone, so we should throw him a party!"

Moonwind backed up a bit from the speed at which the pink pony was talking. He looked to Applejack for help, but she was just standing there smiling. He took a couple more steps back from the pink pony, but she seemed to follow him.

"Aw, don't be shy. Don't want to disappoint the readers, do we?"

Readers, what readers? Moonwind thought to himself as the pink pony continued bouncing around him. He looked back towards Applejack and found she was laughing. He didn't know why she was laughing, but he did know he could use some help.

"So, come on then, what's your name? That way I can tell all the ponies at the party who you are!"

"Hold on Pinkie Pie before you go any farther. I want to finish showing Moonwind here the rest of Ponyville and the ponies there. So, maybe hold off on the party?" Applejack asked the pink mare, Pinkie Pie.

Moonwind let out a small sigh as Pinkie Pie bounced away to do whatever it is she did. He glanced at Applejack and could still see the hint of a smile on her face as she looked back at him. To top everything else off, the piece of mane he had finally got out of his eyes had fallen back down into his face. He blew upwards, but like before, it didn't stick.

Applejack laughed and continued leading him on, introducing him to ponies as they went. All the ponies he met were friendly and shook his hoof gladly. He was kind of surprised, considering he was new here. It seemed, to him, that very few ponies were actually mean. Most of them were very nice. He quite liked that. In his world, very few people were actually friendly towards another unless they were actual friends. It was quite refreshing for him.

Before long, Moonwind found himself noticing that they were heading towards what looked to be a tree that had been converted into some kind of building. He couldn't quite make out what kind of building it was supposed to be, but he was impressed by the design.
He had also noticed that there were several ponies that seemed to have horns. He met one, a mint green pony with a lyre it seemed as her cutie mark, or so Applejack had told Moonwind when he had inquired about them.

After the pony, Lyra, had left, he tapped Applejack and wrote on the road, Was that a unicorn?

Applejack nodded after she had read the message. "What, don't you have any where yer from?"

Moonwind shook his head. Well, of course not, he thought to himself. Where I'm from, unicorns and pegasi are myths. I really don't think this is a dream anymore. Its way to real to be one.

He saw Applejack give him a quizzical look. He shrugged in return, but he could tell she wasn't entirely satisfied. Still they continued along, but it seemed that Applejack was in more of a hurry. Before long, they were in front of the large tree structure.

Applejack opened the door and went on in. Moonwind hesitated a moment, but seeing as he only had two options, he followed Applejack inside.
