Thomas had awoken on a path covered in dirt “Where the hell am I?” He reached for his Scar-H “okay Thomas, deep breaths” His eyes started to fall from tiredness “Damn I better get some rest” he ran over to a tree and started to climb it “An apple tree wouldn’t be my first pick, but I better stay off the ground. God knows what’s down there” he started to drift off.
A rooster crowed as he looked to the east to see a sunrise, Thomas put the Scar-H back on his back and withdrew a .45 handgun. He jumped down onto a road “well I guess I might as well follow this road” he was walking for a few hours until he ended up in a destroyed city a large sign read: Welcome to Ponyvi---, he walked over to wipe the dust from the sign, as soon as he put his forearm on it to clean the dust away, a diseased looking pony had just jumped at him from out of the bushes. He lined the sights on the pistol with the head of the pony he pulled the trigger. He was shocked by what had just happened,
“Um, excuse me?” Thomas spun completely around, “Wait don’t shoot!” he lowered the pistol
“A talking pony? A FUCKING talking pony? I thought my dreams were a little more creative than this”
“I'm going to have to ask you to trust me and follow me, oh by the way my name’s Twilight Sparkle”
Thomas followed the purple unicorn to what seemed to be a large tree making small conversation, “Sweet mother of god you live in this thing?”
“Yes and my friends are living here too”
Twilight and Thomas had entered her library. He noticed another five ponies who were talking, the yellow Pegasus spoke up “Um, Twilight what is that thing? Where did it come from?”
He felt insulted by what the yellow one had just said “Well to answer your question yellow pony”
“Um... my name is Fluttershy, but you know you don’t have to call me that” he felt guilty by what he had just said
“Well my name is Thomas Belinski. But I have two questions”
Then Twilight asked “what are they?”
“One: Where the hell am I? Two: How did I get here?”
The orange pony came forward “mah name’s Applejack and this is the beautiful land of Equestria... well it was until ‘IT’ came”
“Might I ask what ‘it’ is?”
Twilight came forth “we are not quite sure of what ‘it’ is, it is some kind of virus that takes over the body, destroying everything that kept us social. Beyond that we don’t know and I was hoping that you could help shed some light on this situation”
The blue Pegasus came flying over “I don’t trust him Twilight he seems shifty, I reckon that he’s the whole reason that we’re in this mess”
“Rainbow Dash can you stop accusing anypony for three minutes?”
“That’s just it Twilight, he’s not a pony, he’s a... what are you?”
“I’m a human”
“Thomas why don’t you go upstairs and have a sleep it’s the third door on the right” he walked up to the room Twilight had told him to go to.
“How can you trust him Twilight?”
“I don’t know” Applejack walked over
“He seemed like a decent enough type Rainbow”
“AJ, looks don’t count for anything anymore. Twilight what type of thing did he say he was?”
Thomas yelled from upstairs “A HUMAN”
Rainbow Dash continued “Twilight I want every book you have on humans” Twilight went over to look for books on humans
“I only have one on humans”
“That’s all”
“Most of my books are on magic and the history of equestria. Even this book has limited information about humans”
Pinkie walked over “Are they as mean as griffons like Gilda?”
Twilight responded “I haven’t read it in years Pinkie so I don’t know” Rarity cut in “I hate to interrupt but we do need to barricade the windows and doors so that those who have ‘it’ get in” the ponies barricaded the doors and windows and went to their bedrooms.
Thomas had woken up to find Rainbow Dash flying over the top of him, he jumped back “bloody hell, how long have you been watching me sleep?” “Just long enough to not trust you. I reckon you caused all this” “well I didn’t. Now if you don’t mind I’m going to go downstairs”
Thomas got up and walked downstairs to see the ponies removing planks of wood from the doors and windows “Good mornin’ Thomas, wasn’t it?”
“Yes it is, and to you too Applejack”
Twilight had walked over “Good you’re up”
“Yeah, why?”
“I need you to help me with something”
Thomas rubbed his eyes “Sure, what do you need help with?”
“I need you to confirm that you exist”
He was confused “what do you mean? Of course I exist”
“No, no that’s not what I mean. I need you to tell my princess that you exist” Thomas started to understand what Twilight was saying “oh, well can we leave that for tomorrow?”
“Why have you got something to do today?”
Thomas looked at Applejack and blushed “Well, I just wanna get used to your world”
Applejack walked over “Do ya wanna me help out at Sweet Apple Acres do ya?”
He nodded his head “Yeah, by the name I’m guessing it has something to do with apples”
“We buck apples off the tree”
“Sounds easy enough”
“Well come on ah’ll show you the way”
Thomas had followed Applejack for about an hour, Applejack showed him how to buck the apples “see it’s that easy”
“Umm.... Applejack in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t walk like a pony...or have hooves, so I can’t buck”
“Oh right, well you might as well just pick them then” Thomas was getting the apples off the trees along with Applejack, he felt like he was there for a few minutes “come on time to take the apples in”
“What why?”
“Well we’ve been out here for hours”
“Really? I guess it was being with you that made time go a lot quicker” {Do you realize what you just said?}
“Maybe, you head back to Twilights’ ah’ll catch up”
“I’m not gonna let you stay around alone, I'm staying with you” he spent at least five minutes walking, but he didn’t care just as long as Applejack was safe “Come on it’s about to get dark quickly” they ran back to Twilights’ library, they got there before dusk had even hit.
