Escorted by Twilight and Rainbow, the humans are now leaving the Wonderbolt Academy and are now on their way to Ponyville. It turns out that near the academy, there was a whole town in the clouds just near the academy called Cloudsdale, but since it's mostly made of clouds, the humans wouldn't have any chance to really get by in a place like that.
Even so, the main stop was Ponyville, the bustling town where Twilight and her friends live. Since Jeremy wasn't around to hear any history about the ponies or Equestria when Twilight talked to the humans, Trisha told him everything they talked about, so he'd be up to speed. He still seemed very unsatisfied though, but has calmed down enough to at least cooperate... for now. After a half hour flight, they have now arrived at Ponyville.
Ponyville to them, looked like an ordinary town you'd see in the human world, filled with well built houses and stores, except the area looks nothing like a modern day kind of town due to the style of the houses. For one, there were ponies everywhere who had their own form of economic business, as well as ponies who did the things Humans do, such as shopping, running shops, and going on dates, minus the walking on all fours and carrying things with their mouths or making them float. The town was lively, and to the humans, they were a bit weirded out.
"This is Ponyville, huh? Sure lives up to the name..." Jeremy said.
"Equestria is what lives up to it's name." Mina said.
"Well we ARE ponies. Duh!" Rainbow said.
"Eh... But 'Ponyville'? Kinda pushing the pretentiousness a bit, don't you think?" Jeremy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh you're just saying that because you don't know any of Ponyville's history!" Twilight told Jeremy and Mina.
"Ponyville history, huh? Guess you guys have a story on how you founded it, right?" Trisha asked.
"Of course! But we can talk about that more when we take a trip to Sweet Apple Acres, where my friend Applejack lives." Twilight said.
"Applejack, huh...? You guys have some cute names!" Mia said.
"They sound more like puns in the making to me." Kitsu said.
"We'll go there later. We have to go to my home first!" Twilight said.
As she escorted the humans to the giant tree in the middle of the town, she's tackled by a pink pony with a hot pink mane out of nowhere...
"Ah... Pinkie! What was that for-" Twilight is interrupted by Pinkie Pie's answer.
"DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW???" Pinkie started asking in such a hyperactive way.
"That the bird is the word...?" Kitsu said, suppressing his laughter. Jeremy and Mina of course, palmed their faces in embarrassment.
"That's right! THE BIRD IS THE WORD!" Pinkie said, then paused. "Wait a minute, that's not it!"
Kitsu could no longer hold it in. He burst out laughing, unable to control it. Pinkie of course, found herself laughing as well.
"Hey, that was pretty funny! OH WAAAAIT! I've never seen you before! Are you new? Where you from! I Have to throw you guys a PARTY!" The pink hyperactive pony boldly claimed.
"Wait, Pinkie!" Twilight called out to her, but by that point, she had already sped away like a cartoon character...
"Ah.. uhh, who was that?" Trisha asked.
"That's Pinkie Pie... She loves throwing a party for anyone new she meets... But what was she about to tell me earlier?"
"I see... a party, huh?" Mia said, imagining what a party thrown by ponies would be like.
"We don't have time, for some stupid party." Jeremy curtly said. "Now where's this place of yours?"
Twilight tried to hide her irritation, but it was very obvious when she let out a long sigh, and her face began to twitch. "It's this way."
"You need to fix that attitude of yours." Rainbow said.
"And YOU need to shut your face." Jeremy said to the pegasus. At this point, they're glaring at each other again.
"Calm down!" Trisha and Twilight said at the same time.
"Hmph!" Jeremy and Rainbow both look away from each other.
"Hey, where'd Kitsu go?" Mina asked.
"Oh bloody hell...!" Jeremy began grinding his teeth. Before he could run off to look for Kitsu, everyone's interrupted by hearing the gossip of a large group of ponies by the river near the forest.
"There's a bunch of ponies over there gathering around..." Mina said, pointing at the spot near the trees.
"That's the by the Everfree Forest! I'm going to check on the commotion!" Twilight said, hoping to cut through the town square and find out what the commotion's about.
"We'll go too!" Trisha said.
"I'm gonna look for Kitsu." Jeremy said, trying to walk away from the group, but Rainbow stops him by pulling on his collar with her teeth.
"NOT ON MY WATCH!" Rainbow said, pulling Jeremy away.
"LET GO!" Jeremy tried to struggle, but it was futile.
Rainbow knew that he'd cause trouble with just that attitude alone. Not to mention he'd definitely get lost in the town. Once they arrived at the spot where the ponies were gathered, Jeremy was let down once Rainbow noticed the direction of the smoke.
"Hey, Twilight!" Calling out to Twilight with a southern accent, is an orange pony with a blonde mane wrapped in a ponytail and wearing a cowgirl hat on her head.
"Hey, Applejack! what's all the commotion?" Twilight asked her friend.
"Didn't Pinkie tell ya?" Applejack asked.
"No, she went off to throw a party for the humans here." Twilight answered, motioning her head to point out the new creatures in town.
"Humans?" Applejack turned around and saw five humans with Twilight and Rainbow. "Huh... Ah' ain't never seen them before... they ain't from around these parts, huh?" Applejack asked, curious about the humans.
"I happened to get the Wonderbolts to help me save their lives!" Rainbow boasted.
"Arrogant..." Jeremy said under his breath.
"Were these people trying to fly or somethin'?" Applejack asked, confused about the falling people.
"No, we somehow winded up here when our plane crashed." Eva said.
"Say that again? What in tarnation is a 'plane'?" Applejack asked.
"Ugh... we've been getting that everywhere..." Jeremy griped.
"Well we don't know about your world at all!" Rainbow said.
"Alright, a plane, or... well, Airplane, is a machine that's able to fly in the air from place to place." Trisha quickly explained.
"Well that explains how ya'll flyin' around without wings." Applejack said. "Anyway, see that there smoke? We saw some huge... something crash on over there at Rambling Rock Ridge." Applejack pointed at the steady stream of smoke in the distance.
"Did anyone see what it looked like?" Twilight asked.
"Well Fluttershy might know since the ridge is by the Everfree Forest." Applejack answered. "If only she were home..."
"She's not home?!" Twilight was surprised.
"Nope! Ah' reckon I'd pay her a visit earlier, but she was already long gone!" Applejack said.
"Maybe she doesn't know about it... but I wonder..." Twilight muttered to herself.
"Where is this Rambling Rock Ridge?" Mina asked Twilight.
"There's actually two bridges that lead to it, see?" Twilight said, pointing at the short wooden bridges with brown hand rails that go over the river and lead to a forest. "But you'll have to cut through a part of the Everfree Forest, and that place is really dangerous, especially at night..." Twilight finished explaining.
"Has anything ever been... built over there?" Mina continued her line of questioning.
"Nah, not that Ah' know of." Applejack answered. "Why all the questions anyway?"
"We have to go there..." Mina said.
"You'd have to go through the Everfree Forest, like I said." Twilight repeated her warning.
"Yeah! Anyone who's gone in, has NEVER COME OUT!" Rainbow jokingly said.
"No way!" Mina shouted.
"Whoa, take it easy! I was just kidding!" Rainbow said.
"We can't get stuck in there! We'll never get to the plane that way!" Mina said.
"Plane? Wait, THAT'S OUR PLANE!?" Jeremy was confused, but wanted Mina's words to be true.
"It has to be... If there was nothing built at the ridge, then there's definitely a possibility it might be our plane. Well, part of it anyway..." Mina said, furrowing her eyebrows.
"That's right... it did get cut in half..." Trisha said, holding her chin.
"Say what now?" Applejack asked.
"Our plane got cut in half and we fell out. That's how we ended up here in Equestria." Trisha turned to Applejack, explaining what she meant.
"Well I'd be darned..." Applejack said, astonished and a little bit confused at what she heard.
"The humans think it might've been Nightmare Moon." Twilight said.
"We kicked that Nightmare Moon's flank already with them Elements of Harmony! And besides, ain't Princess Luna in control of herself?" Applejack asked in disbelief of such a possibility. "Ah doubt she'd go all evil on us so soon."
"Well, that's the thing! I want to prove that Princess Luna is innocent!" Twilight said, boldly declaring her intentions. "I want to write a letter to Princess Celestia, asking about Princess Luna."
"Well, it looks like we have ourselves a doozy here... there's that doohicky airplane over by Rambling Rock Ridge, and there's your letter..." Applejack said, scratching her head with her forehoof.
"Hey, Twilight, can I go with you? I want to know a little more about this Princess Luna." Trisha asked.
"Okay, sure. I'm guessing you have something to ask her too?" Twilight asked.
"No, I'm just looking for answers. I'm curious about everything.." Trisha answered with a bit of demure in her voice.
"Well, I'm going to find where Kitsu ran off to. He shouldn't be fooling around at a time like this..." Jeremy said, already walking away and waving goodbye to his friends.
"You're just gonna get lost." Rainbow remarked, flying in the air in a relaxed way.
"Then show me around instead of looking like a slacker. You can do THAT much, can't you?" Jeremy asked in an irritated tone of voice.
"What If I don't feel like it? You'll never find Sugar Cube Corner!" Rainbow boasted.
"Whelp... At least I know where to start. Maybe I'll just use alternative methods to find directions." Jeremy said, giving a very suspicious smile, which made Rainbow cringe, as she suspected the worst!
"Ugh, this guy's a pain in the flank!" Rainbow said, reluctantly following Jeremy into town, for she knew that if she left him alone, he'd probably be scaring everypony. Sure, he'd probably never find his way if he did that, but it would still cause trouble for her too.
"Well, it looks like you guys are with me. I'll guide you to that plane thing if ya'll don't mind." Applejack volunteered to help.
"That'd be fine." Mina nodded.
"Okay, so we'll meet back here at the town square in a few hours?" Twilight asked.
"You got it, Twi!" Applejack agreed.
"Yeah, no problem!" Rainbow agreed before dashing off to where Jeremy went.
Jeremy had already walked off, heading Sugar Cube Corner with Rainbow leading the way. Trisha followed Twilight to her home, while Applejack will lead the way to Rambling Rock Ridge with Mia, Eva, and Mina.
Twilight and Trisha
"So Twilight..." Trisha asked.
"What is it?" The purple unicorn asked.
"Magic is real... right?" Trisha wanted to be sure.
"That's an odd question. Here in Equestria, magic is second nature to us ponies." Twilight said.
"Well, but you're the only one I've seen use any magic." Trisha answered, remembering the teleport spell.
"Oh, well... that's because I'm a Unicorn. A Unicorn's magic is more... up front, you know? It's not subtle and involuntary like the magic a pegasus or an earth pony would have." Twilight explained.
"I see... So there's more to a pegasus than their wings, huh? And I don't know what an earth pony is..." Trisha put her hand on her chin, trying to process all of the info she's getting.
"Well, earth ponies are the ones you see without the horns or wings. But their magic has effects on the land around us, which allows for crop growth. A pegasus pony's magic really centers around their ability to control the weather, but it's also what allows them to walk on clouds." Twilight elaborated.
"I see... I guess I'm more curious about this world than I thought. There's gotta be a reason why we humans ended up here..." Trisha said, watching various ponies stare at her while others try to keep their heads down and mind their business.
"I agree... I don't know of any magic to summon a human from their world. Only Alicorns like the princesses could pull something like that off without any problems. Maybe there's a spell book that would allow for it..." Twilight said, trailing off.
"Alicorn, huh? I'm gonna guess that it's a combination of all three pony types, right?" Trisha guessed.
"Yep. You're correct! Their powers are pretty much out of this world, really. I guess I could understand why Rainbow Dash thought Nightmare Moon was behind you and your friends ending up in Equestria, but..." Twilight trailed off, her eyes lowering in sadness.
"Nightmare Moon was defeated, and Princess Luna isn't evil." Trisha finished the sentence for Twilight.
"Yeah..." Twilight agreed, sounding somewhat crestfallen.
"That's why I came with you. I need to know. What do you mean when you say it like that?" Trisha asked curiously.
"Well... remember the prophecy I told you guys? About the longest day of the thousandth year?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah. The stars will aid in her escape..." Trisha repeated the one part that stood out to her the most.
"Right... well, one day, when I looked in the mirror and I happened to be remembering the time when I first realized the true power of friendship... and when I looked at my cutie mark..." Twilight trailed off.
"Cutie Mark?" Trisha asked, thrown off by the suddenly girly term.
"See that mark there on my flank? It's called a cutie mark. Mine just happens to have stars on it." Twilight explained, turning her head around, beckoning Trisha to have a look.
When trusha looked at the purple unicorn's flank as she asked, she saw five white stars surrounding a large pink star in the center. "I see some stars... what about it?" Trisha inquired.
"I began to wonder... if me and my friends were 'the stars' in that prophecy, and that Nightmare Moon herself was 'the prison'..." Twilight elaborated.
"And by defeating Nightmare Moon, you freed Princess Luna... but what about that 'night time eternal' part?" Trisha continued her curios questions.
"I think it means that since we've freed Princess Luna from her prison, she's free to do her job and bring nighttime by bringing forth the moon, just as her sister does with the sun. I even confirmed this theory when I asked Princess Celestia about it..." Twilight answered.
"Wow..." Trisha was amazed, but also thought, "Isn't that how the passage of time works?"
"That's why Princess Luna can't be evil. Her being evil would mean being back in a 'prison' where she'd suffer from loneliness and bitterness." Twilight couldn't stress that enough. It was true that Twilight believed in Princess Luna the most.
"I'll believe you about the princess, especially since that story makes a lot more sense now." Trisha said, giving a nervous smile.
"Thanks, Trisha." Twilight said.
"No problem. I don't really know if I'm being naive though, believing in some princess I don't even know, but the story of loneliness... I guess I sympathize with it a little." Trisha said, remembering the days before she met the members of the Journalism club she's a part of now.
"Me too." Twilight agreed, for she too, remembered her days immersed in books, refusing to make friends until Princess Celestia told her to.
Rainbow and Jeremy
Jeremy walked through the town of Ponyville, but slowly for some reason. Some of the ponies around were just staring at him like he's a foreign object... And he felt it too. He only responded with a sigh, trying not to make eye contact with any of them.
"Why are you walking so slow? Didn't you wanna find your friend?" Rainbow asked.
"Why'd you come?" Jeremy quickly asked, nearly cutting Rainbow's words short.
"So you don't cause trouble for anypony." Rainbow said.
"Haaaaaaaaaah... Well, where is it? This Sugar Cube place." Jeremy asked after a big sigh.
"It's down this street here." Rainbow said.
"Good." Jeremy put his hands in his pockets and kept walking, each step making a *clack* sound, as his feet touched the somewhat concrete street.
Jeremy and Rainbow were silent for a little while until they finally caught sight of a large house up ahead with a gingerbread rooftop and two windows on the front. On top of that rooftop appeared to be an attic of sorts that resembled a giant cupcake with another window on it. The house itself appeared to be held together by several planks of wood seen throughout the white walls. The entrance of the house had a pink door and pink stairs to walk into.
It was then that Jeremy spoke up.
"Do you fear change?" Jeremy asked, confusing the cyan pegasus.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rainbow asked, somewhat surprised that he didn't bother to ask about that house.
"It's a simple question. Do you fear change? Things that severely alter your daily life?" Jeremy asked.
"Why would I even think about that?" Rainbow answered in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"Then I guess you don't fear it... Must be nice to be so carefree." Jeremy remarked with a bit of sarcasm, and heaving a deep sigh.
"What, are you saying you do?" Rainbow asked, sounding a bit smug.
"Dunno. Depends. You ever wonder what It'd be like to lose one of YOUR friends?" Jeremy asked.
" Ah... W-well, I wouldn't want to lose them..." Rainbow answered nervously, but only because she was surprised.
"What I'm asking, is say if something happened to YOUR friends. You wouldn't like that very much, huh? For me, it's worse. Because I'm not certain if I'll experience that change or not. That's what happens when you don't know the fate of those you care about..." Jeremy tilted his head around and looked at the pegasus at his side, and continued his explanation. The look in his eyes seemed somewhat like an empty fireplace, desperate to be lit up.
"I wouldn't want to lose my friends, and I'd give a hundred and ten percent to make sure they stay safe!" Rainbow said with confidence.
"Heh... you're a loyal one, huh?" Jeremy asked, unsurprised as if he already knew.
"Well, duh! I represent the Element of Loyalty after all!" Rainbow said with pride. "You should learn from me!"
"About what?" Jeremy asked, already looking irritated at the thought of learning from a pony.
"What it means to be loyal to your friends!" Rainbow boasted.
"Hey, I have PLENTY of loyalty to them! They're my LIFE!" Jeremy snapped.
"Then why don't you act like it!? It's like you're waaaaaaaay more worried about that Ruby girl than those other friends of yours!" Rainbow retorted. "Besides, what about your friends that are with you NOW?"
"Because I made a promise to her parents... I promised them she'd be safe! They trusted me... hell, even my own mom FINALLY believed in ME for once!" Jeremy's volume in his voice grew louder, he growing more irritable.
"Look, I said we'll help you find her AND your friends. But you're already fearing the worst! Don't you believe in those friends?? That's what it means to be loyal to them; never betraying them in any way! And that includes, never betraying your own faith in them!" Rainbow boldly stated.
"Believing in'em, eh? Huh... It doesn't change the fact that I have to find her and the rest of my friends... just because I believe in them, doesn't mean I'll find them any faster." Jeremy's eyes lowered, as if he was tired.
"You didn't entirely deny what I said though!" Rainbow's muzzle curving into a cheeky smile.
"... Shut up..." Jeremy replied, sounding defeated. "So why do YOU care anyway? We're practically like... aliens to you all."
"Because it just irritates me when I hear from anypony, how much they care for their friends, yet not care about the rest of the people that care about them!" Rainbow answered.
"I do care. I just want the whole group reunited... Having just the five of them just isn't enough for me. It's all or nothing." Jeremy said, clinching his fist, expressing irritation once more.
"Then why didn't you go with those girls to that plane thing? Wouldn't the rest of your friends be there?" Rainbow asked.
"Nope... our plane was broken in half remember?. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that the plane piece they see is the back of it where my friends and I were seated. The only thing there now is wreckage and probably what's left of our luggage..."
"Luggage, huh? Guess the vacation got cut short." Rainbow said.
"... Nice pun, I guess." Jeremy complimented, albeit, still irritated.
Rainbow had a good point though, and Jeremy knew that. Perhaps he wasn't believing in his friends enough. Perhaps he was so focused on Ruby, he's losing sight of what it means to have this group of friends. Despite hearing so many good points, his worries continue to thrive...
Applejack and Mia, Mina, and Eva; near the Everfree Forest Entrance.
"Well, this is it; The Everfree Forest!" Applejack said. "Ya'll just stick together and I'll getcha through safe and sound!"
"R-r-r-right..." Eva said, clutching onto her arm, scared of the place.
Upon entering the Everfree Forest, the humans of course, were constantly weary of their surroundings, looking at the dense amount of trees and bushes. It didn't help that the place was pretty dark thanks to the trees blocking all the sunlight during day time. They didn't want to imagine what night time would be like. Applejack would dispel that anxiety for a bit by striking up a conversation.
"Lemmie introduce mahself: The name's Applejack!" The orange earth pony proudly introduced herself
"Nice to meet ya, Applejack. I'm Mina, the pudgy one here is Mia, and the small one here is Eva." Mina pointed to her friends respectively, earning a scowl from both of them for her remarks.
"Hey!" Eva and Mia both chimed in, sounding slightly offended.
"So where are ya'll humans from?" Applejack asked.
"Oh! Um... we live at a place called Westford Island. It's a pretty big island that holds our famous private school, known for it's 'Hopes and Dreams' program." Eva said, taking a deep breath, as she's the one the most afraid of her surroundings, even looking down occasionally to make sure there are no bugs crawling around.
"Westford Island, huh? Never heard of that place. And you said, school, huh?" Applejack asked.
"The school is called Cheshire State Westford Academy. We're students there, actually." Mina answered.
"Well, I'd be! Then you all might be fast friends with Applebloom! She goes to school, just like ya'll." Applejack said.
"Applebloom?" Mina asked.
"She's mah lil' sister! She an' her friends are always stirrin' up some trouble though since she's so darn enthusiastic to get her cutie mark. She goes the Ponyville Schoolhouse" Applejack happily explained, showing the family love she has.
"A cutie mark? Does it make you cuter?" Mia asked curiously, a question partially made in jest.
"Ah, well I dun know about alla that. But see them apples on my flank? That there's a cutie mark! It's supposed to represent yer one special talent." Applejack explained, beckoning the humans to briefly look at the mark of apples on her flank as she said. "But since ya'll ain't no ponies, ya'll can't even get cutie marks."
"I dunno... I kinda want one now! I wonder what mine would be?" Mia started pondering and grinning.
"I'm kinda curious myself actually." Mina said. "Having a cutie mark would be kinda fun..."
"That just means I get a tattoo for free, huh?" Eva said.
"What's a tattoo?" Applejack asked.
"Oh... uh, it's basically kinda like that cutie mark thing you just mentioned, except we pay for ours." Mia answered.
"So let me get this right: You pay for you all's cutie marks?" Applejack asked.
"No, no, it's not like it signifies our talent. We just happen to see cool markings we want marked on our bodies. Not every human does it, but a some of us do get tattoos." Mina explained.
"Yeah... I actually want a cute tattoo myself. In fact, I think Alice herself has a few tattoos somewhere on her body." Mia said.
"Who's this Alice character?" Applejack asked.
"Oh, she's a friend of ours, but she's one of the people we're hoping to find." Eva said.
"Yeah. Jeremy's gung-ho on finding'em, but we just don't want him to do anything rash." Mina said.
"Yeah, I hear ya. It can be easy to wander into some dangerous parts of Equestria if you don't know yer way around. And this forest is the worst place to get lost in!" Applejack warned. "But don't you folks worry! We're almost close to Rambling Rock Ridge!"
"Oh, you're right! I can see the smoke!" Mia pointed out to the steady stream of gray just a bit past the trees.
"Heh, looks like this place isn't as scary as I thought! sure, the trees have faces, but they don't even do anything! Heh! What was I so scared for?" Eva started feeling a little smug after overcoming her fear, but that was short lived.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllll.....
"EEP!" Eva jumped, hiding behind Mina. "Tell me you guys heard that!"
"We did..." Mia said, backing away, beads of sweat starting to form on her head.
"Oh great..." Applejack said, as she looked in the direction the growl came from.
Suddenly, at least three beasts came jumping out of the bushes, and began walking up to the humans slowly. They easily noticed that these beasts looked like they were made of tree branches. That didn't make them any less scary though...
"Timberwolves..." Applejack said, standing in front of the humans.
"Timberwolves?!" Mia was surprised at the name, but also found herself giggling.
"This isn't a time to laugh, Mia!" Mina said.
"We're almost at the ridge! Just go straight ahead from here!" Applejack said, before making the humans run away. "Now get goin'!"
The three girls all began running as fast as they could with Applejack right behind them. The Timberwolves of course, gave chase, and even started to catch up to them! But that's when Applejack saw a tree branch in front, and came up with a quick idea. Running underneath a tree branch sticking out, Applejack grabbed the branch, pulled back, and let it come swinging back, smashing the Timberwolves apart!
"Way to go, Applejack!" Mina congratulated.
"Don't thank me yet! We're almost at the ridge!" Applejack said, as she and the humans girls ran to the Ridge, getting out of the forest safely. They all slowed down though since Mia dropped to her knees, out of breath.
"Ha... ha... ha... I'm... not used... to that much running...!" Mia griped, desperately catching her breath.
"Well, we're here, so rest for a bit." Mina said.
Meanwhile...
Kitsu had walked off at the same time Pinkie Pie ran off to organize a party at Sugar Cube Corner. He simply followed her, with the intention of finding out what the party was about. Seeing the pink pony go inside, he could see through the window up front at how fast she was setting things up. And so, the human walked inside the house and watched her set this party up. It turns out that Sugar Cube Corner is a confectionery shop, judging by all of the various sweets inside the container at the front, near the cash register. Looking around, he saw various tables with covers already over them, several rounded, pink wooden chairs, and several plastic cups in a variety of colors. The inside walls were painted with a bright yellow, with several photos of the pink pony, and two other ponies wearing red and white shirts, presumably the uniform of the store. To the right was the entrance to the kitchen, which contained a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a large counter against the wall, where several materials for baking were already taken out.
"WOW! You're one of those humans! I'm Pinkie Pie! Did you come to your party? Oh no, it's not ready yet! But I can go faster~!" Pinkie said as fast as she could.
"I'm Kitsu Madaki, I came to see what it this party's about, I know it's not ready, please take your time, and I'm just here to see what this is all for." Kitsu responded in kind without a break in between.
"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaah. You responded just like I'd respond! WHEEEEE!" Pinkie inched closer to Kitsu, becoming fascinated.
"So why throw a party for us? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm aaaaaaaaaaalways down for a party! But you know, my boss will kinda get mad." Kitsu said hesitantly, but never dropping his smile.
"Oh, where do you work? I'll tell that mean ol' boss of yours to let you party all night!" Pinkie boldly asked, acting as if she were pulling a sleeve up from her nonexistent shirt.
"Well, you already met him. In fact, knowing him, he's probably out looking for me. I just wanted to check this party out though." Kitsu answered.
"Oh, i did? Well why didn't you tell me! I could've looked that pony straight in the eye and said 'hey! your worker wants to party! Wanna party too!?' or something like that!" Pinkie said.
"No, he's a human. Like me." Kitsu said, pointing to himself.
"A human huh? Hey, what's a human? You obviously aren't ponies, so how come I've never seen a human before, huh?" Pinkie asked.
"Humans are people like me! We walk with just two legs, we don't have that three-sixty vision like you, aaaaannnd only a handful of people from my world have tattoos on their butt cheeks." Kitsu said, giggling to himself.
"Tattoos? Ooooh, maybe you mean my CUTIE MARK!" Pinkie realized, wiggling her behind, showing off the image of balloons she's marked with.
"A Cutie Mark huh? Does it make you feel more cute or something?" Kitsu asked.
"Haha, you're pretty funny for the flattery! But noooope! It just means I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to party!" Pinkie answered enthusiastically.
"Tell ya what... why don't I help set this party up, and we'll surprise my boss when he comes in! That way he can't be mad!"
"WOW, That's a GREAT idea! Quick! Help me out with these tasks!" Pinkie said,
"I'm on it!" Kitsu said.
Kitsu began helping Pinkie Pie set up a party for the humans Twilight invited. It was clear to Kitsu that Pinkie liked meeting new people to an unnatural degree, even if they're a completely different species that's not from her world. Kitsu decided he'd help out anyway though since he somewhat admired that fact.
Some time after reaching Twilight's house, which is a large oak tree with windows around the tree itself, she and Trisha open the door, only to be quickly greeted by Rarity and Spike, who both seemed to be waiting for Twilight to get home.
"Twilight, where WERE you?" the little purple dragon with green scales asked. To Trisha, he looked like a cute little lizard.
"I went to meet some humans." Twilight answered, motioning her head to point to Trisha, one of the humans in question.
The little purple dragon named Spike glanced at the human girl with curious eyes, seeing her clothes, shoes, red hair, and brown eyes, but he remembered he had something in his hand when he gripped his hand, hearing a faint crumbling sound of paper. "Well anyway, I just got a letter from Princess Celestia!"
"Oh, well give it here!" Twilight, although surprised, swiped the letter from Spike's hand with her magic.
"Hmm... wait, 'The Humans'...?" Twilight read the opening statement of the letter, making her tilt her head in confusion.
"Huh...? Why us?" Trisha asked.
"I don't know, but if the Princess wrote you a letter, then that could only mean that the princess knows you're here." Twilight said.
"Pardon me, but I seem to have gotten a letter from Princess Celestia too!" holding up her letter, is Rarity, a white unicorn with a dark purple mane that's very neatly combed. Her flank was marked with the image of three sparkly diamonds.
"You too, Rarity?! This is getting a little too weird..." Twilight said, putting a forehoof on her face...
Just what in the world is going on...?
