“My name is Timothy Cramer and I am a human from a world far, FAR away from here luckily” I extended my arm to try and shake hand and hoof accordingly with the colt that looked like twilight.
He didn’t respond in the way I had hoped for as he turned down my handshake or … hoofshake in his case, then he said “hello timothy, my name is Dusk Shine is there anything shorter that we can call you?”
“Could I get to know ALL of your names? And please call me Tim” I said with a grin.
Each of them seemed to have the same personality as their female counterparts.
All of them agreed to shake hands and tell their names except the yellow pegasus they were, Dusk Shine, Rainbow Blitz, Apple Jack, Elusive and Bubble Berry … I  figured I had to take the approach on the only one left, I got down on my knees and walked slowly on my knees towards the yellow pegasus, he let an “Eeep!” as I grabbed him and gave him a friendly hug saying “hey, don’t be shy” he sighed lightly as he hugged me back with hesitation, I let him go and asked “better now?” he nodded slowly and said very quietly “uhm m-my name i-i-is Butterscotch”, “a pleasure to meet you butterscotch” I again held out my hand to get a shake but this time I did, not with a firm grip though.
Dusty shook hooves with them as well and we talked for a bit about where I come from and what my species normally do to survive where my world is and how I got from my world to here.
I also told them about my friends and my girlfriend where they used marefriend, I didn’t want to disturb them with the story of my family just yet, it would have to wait until I became friends with at least one of them if I even did, they seemed … I wouldn’t say hostile more frightened than anything else.
“That’s quite some story y’have there” said Apple Jack with a bit of a frown, I assumed that he thought I lied.
“I tell you, that’s what happened!” I said defensively while looking to the others.
“well I have not read that it is impossible” Dusk said looking upwards to the right as if we was pulling pages of some books down from his mind.
“look at it this way, pay attention to the detail it was told, it takes quite some imagination to come up with a lie of that size and quality, and if he can tell us the exact same thing in a week then we know he didn’t lie” Bubble Berry spat out before anyone else could react then beginning to jump in the same place.
“Maybe you are right mate, on the other hand if he is speaking the truth he has nowhere to go” stated Elusive “do you have anywhere you are headed to?”
“Well I wanted to go to ponyville and meet the elements, yet I still don’t know as my friend here needs some company” I said while resting my arm on the back of dusty.
“You might be able to do both” dusty said while trotting over towards the steering mechanism of the train, confused I then asked him “what do you mean?” while watching him turn some handles and such with his hooves, this confused me since he was a unicorn.
Why didn’t he just use his magic?
“I live in ponyville” he said “and I might be able to get a replacement for the train so that we can hang together” he smiled towards me and looked with asking eyes towards the male elements of harmony who nodded slowly once in unison.
Both dusty and I began to smile at this.
When the joy had subsided a bit I asked where the male elements were headed, dusk responded “we actually don’t know yet, we just planned for a spontaneous field trip to Celestia knows where, speaking of ‘where’ where is all of your gear that you said you gathered?”.
“Oh that, it’s in the cabin, you want to see some of it?” I asked Dusk when I thought to myself ‘I knew if he was as curious as twilight he would be bursting on the inside of sheer excitement when making a discovery this big’, Dusk came closer looking in the direction of the wagon just past the coal wagon and said “I would love to” with a smile on his face.
When I was almost at the coal wagon the train jolted forwards knocking the feet away from under me, I fell face first towards the couple between the coal wagon and the first passenger wagon of many.
Luckily Dusk was able to stop my fall just before I got hurt by creating a force field between the two wagons so that I could land safely.
I then got back up thanked Dusk and went into the first cabin on the right where all my stuff was.
We got inside the cabin and closed the door to get some more space in the room, there were only a small table with a sofa on either side.
As we sat down Dusk gave a little sigh as if he had needed to get away or having had the need to sit for quite a while.
