//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Introductions // Story: New Inhabitants // by Sneaks //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Introductions Pinkie Pie says a bunch of incomprehensible stuff to us, probably about a party of sorts, and literally vanishes like like a ghost leaving us with our thoughts. We all decide to head into the town of Ponyville to meet ponies and meet Twilight, who is the favorite pony of the group. Unlike the rest of us, Sarah still hasn't entirely gotten her bearings together, but she still manages to follow us. We go into Ponyville finding it larger than the assumed size based off the show itself. We don’t have difficulty spotting a large tree in the middle of normal wood houses though. We knock on the door of Twilight Sparkle's library and she appears looking tired and blank from a project she was apparently doing. “Hello Ms.Sparkle, I hope we are not deterring you from an important project but we need to speak with you if you do not mind.” I say in a polite manner and Twilight allows us entrance to the library even though it is closed for the day. “What can I do for the four of you? I don’t think we have met have we?” Twilight asks rather confused as to how we know her name without meeting her. Sarah finally got her thoughts together, "Don't ask how we know you. It's hard to explain..." “Thanks Sarah, now she thinks we are a group of stalkers.” I say sarcastically. Sarah sighed, "Hey, it's Hasbros fault..." she mutters “Shush and let me politely introduce us Sarah! Geez, anyway Twilight I am Chase, the one that interrupted me is known by Sarah, the midnight-blue unicorn is Bridget, and the green earth pony is my best bud Miles.” I say. Twilight has woken up from her state of tiredness and utter confusion and is genuinely interested now. “We know you by ponies in town, that is the easy part. We are new to here as well....” I say and Twilight thinks I mean to Ponyville, and not just to Equestria itself. “Well then welcome to Ponyville! Where did you come from?” Twilight asks. "Uhhhh..." Sarah, as usual, doesn't know how to answer. At first she probably thought she had a good idea. “Y-yes, we are new to Ponyville. We come from Fillydelphia.” I lie because I don’t think saying we are an alien species will help us any right now. While we are talking more, Rainbow busts through a window, slamming right into Sarah, and almost stabbing me with glass. "Hey, watch where you're flying!" My dark pegasus friend screams. “Whoops.....hehehe, sorry about that. Are you new here? I have never seen you around here before.” Rainbow says. “They are from Fillydelphia, we were talking before you burst through my window. Didn’t I tell you before that there is a door?” Twilight asks annoyed. “Whatever, doors are 20% lamer...besides, a door and the window are the same principles anyway.” Rainbow says. She asks Twilight if any new Daring Do books are out and Miles screams, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO......oh wait THAT Daring Do.....” Miles quietly walks away. Sarah's ears flick, "What other Daring Do where you talking about?" she asks cautiously. “Uhh.....nothing. Something I told Chase about,” Miles says. “Aaaaanyway, I would like to just get a book and leave....” Rainbow is a bit afraid because of Miles doing what he did. Sarah also appears to be a bit disturbed. Twilight gives Rainbow the new Daring Doo book and she busts through another window which makes Twilight facehoof. “My apologies if we caused issues Ms.Sparkle.....we should go before another pony bur-” I never finish that sentence because Pinkie Pie makes the door fly open and she invites everypony to a party celebrating us being new to Ponyville. “Thank you Pinkie,” Bridget, who has been quiet up until now, says politely as we start heading to Sugar Cube Corner. Sarah and Bridget are eagerly looking for Derpy as they walk and me and Miles are looking for the infamous Doctor Whooves. We make it to SCC, Derpy and The Doctor are there so we greet them and I make sure Sarah knows to not act like she knows her. Sarah, of course, sticks her forked tongue out, and proceeds in hoofbumping Derpy. Bridget does the same before silently vowing to never wash that hoof again. Me and Miles get into a conversation with The Doctor and I am about to start talking about paradoxial events of a timeline when Pinkie Pie pops in and offers us cake. Sarah looks at it nervously, "This isn't Celestia's cake, is it?" she asks but we gladly accept it and realize we have no idea how to hold stuff with our hooves or use magic to pick stuff up. “Do you know anything about the illogical picking up of stuff with nothing to grasp it with?” I whisper to Sarah. Sarah holds her plate on the flat part of her hooves and nibbles on it, just looking at me blankly. “Alright then” I take the plate from Pinkie Pie and find that it is like a stimulant. When I bite into the cake it feels like every wonderful sweet item mixed together and dipped in heaven. Sarah starts to freak out, "This is DEFINITELY CELESTIA'S CAKE!" she whispers with paranoia. I roll my eyes and tell her there is nothing strange with this cake. She gives me a look, "Cake wouldn't taste this good if it weren't made for royalty!" she says to me and I simply say it does with Pinkie Pie makes it. “Complements to Madame Pinkie Pie!” I say delightfully out loud waving to the Pink host. “So, let’s go meet the mane 6. We might as well right?” Miles asks and I agree. Sarah looks at us, "Uh, guys, I don't think they're called that here..." “We know that, in our referencing they are six main figures-" "Blah, yeah, I know. Jussssst hold your tonguesssssss!" she whispers, a bit of dragon-like hissing coming about. We go to meet Rarity first since she is the first we spot. “Hello you four! Are you all having a good time? Pinkie Pie always wants to make the best parties possible for new ponies and friends.” Rarity says taking a bite out of cake. We all say we are having a splendid time and she tells us we should come by her boutique if we ever need anything made. She says she has to help Pinkie Pie with something and we depart to meet Fluttershy. “Hello, your name is Fluttershy correct?” I ask Fluttershy and she shies away causing Bridget to almost give a “dawww” from the cuteness, but Sarah stops her. “Y-yes....are you the 4....new ponies?” She asks and we nod our heads. We talk to her for a bit and offer to help her some time with her animals before going to meet Applejack, the final pony we have not met yet. We get to her and she recognizes we have a similar accent, just not full redneck. “Hay there! Y’all havin’ a good time?” Applejack asks and we once again say we are. “We are having a much better time since we have met some ponies in this place. We felt lost when we first got here.” I admit for us and Applejack nods and points us to Pinkie Pie who is about to end the party. We can’t believe we spent three hours there. We go to Pinkie Pie and we all have one final dance party before we depart ways. One thought pops in my head while we are leaving: Where are we going to sleep and eat? Sarah has an anxious look on her face, and is most likely having the same thoughts. We step outside, and I hope maybe the fresh air can better fuel our thinking.
