After Princess Celestia left, you and Pinkie were next to leave. You have been walking for the past five minutes and Pinkie talked the whole time. You have mostly tuned her out, living with about nineteen children has made you a master at tuning unwanted noise out, yet still looked like your listening, nodding at the right times, and occasionally say words like “Yeah,” “Yes,” “Yup,” just words to make her think you're paying attention. What you really are doing is looking at the other ponies, it was a little confusing for you. There was ponies of all colors of the rainbow, and some that weren't colors of the rainbow. Looking at a big crowd hurt your eyes so you tried to focus on only one pony at a time. Another thing that you noticed about these ponies is that they are all mares. Well not all of them, but most of them. You've seen one or two stallions.
“Hey!” this outburst from Pinkie snaps you back to reality and you look up to see Pinkie standing in front of you with her hands on her hips, she didn't have angry look upon her face, more of an annoyed one. “Were you even listening to me?”
“Um, yes,” you say trying to lie your way out of this.
“Oh really? Well then what was I talking about?”
“You were talking about the school and the school teacher, Mrs. Cheerilee,” you say on a whim. You had hear something about the school and the teacher, so you might as well go with it. It seemed to work because Pinkie put on a big smile and continued to walk. You let out a sigh of relief.
“Oh, I guess you were listening, silly me. Anyway as I was saying...” you were already lost again, but weren't tuned out as much in case she springs another surprise question. After a few minutes Pinkie stops again, but she doesn't spring a question on you like last time. Instead, she spreads her arms wide, “Welcome to Sugarcube Corner! The best place to go for any baked goods!” Pinkie exclaimed with a toothy smile.
You look at the building behind her and it certainly did look like a bakery. The roof of the place looked very much like gingerbread, all held together with what looked like frosting, being held up by candy-cane looking pillars. Though being in this world and what you already know about this world, you wouldn't doubt that it actually was gingerbread, frosting, and candy-cane.
You follow Pinkie in and to your, somewhat, surprise, it looked like a normal bakery. It had a display counter, which was filled with multicolored baked goods, a couple candy themed tables with matching chairs, and a candy themed wood trim. There are a set of stairs heading upstairs, and Pinkie leads you up them. At the top there are a second set of stairs next to the set you just climbed, but Pinkie doesn't take you up there yet, instead she leads you down the hall, shes stops at the first of four doors in the hall.
“Here is where Pumpkin and Pound sleep, you don't know them yet, they are Mr. and Mrs. Cake's twins. Pumpkin is just the cutest little Unicorn you will ever see! She is very talented. Also, she can pick me up and she's still only a filly! How talented is that?” Pinkie excitedly explained with a big smile on her face, while she talks you take in the room. It is a typical baby's room, calming blue walls, two cribs, a toy chest. You have seen plenty of baby rooms from your childhood.
“Of coarse Pound is talented too!” Pinkie continued, “he can already fly! I mean, how many Pegasi can fly just a few weeks from being born? I mean I know a little filly Pegasus who can't fly yet, though Rainbow Dash is teaching her.” Pinkie exits the room and you follow. You go to the room at the end of the hall, but don't go inside, Pinkie opens the door and it looks like the master bedroom.
“This is Mr. and Mrs. Cake's room, they don't allow others to go in there unless they say so, I personally think they are hiding a bag of candy. Onto the rest!” Pinkie said as she turned on her heel with one finger pointed to the sky, and started to walk down the hall. She stops at the bathroom. “Here is the bathroom, do you have bathrooms from where you come from?” Pinkie asked you.
“Yes,” you say with a nod.
“Good, 'cause I really don't want to teach anypony how to use the potty,” Pinkie said with a grimace. You begin chuckle at both her expression and her choice of words. Adorning her smile once again she moves to the next room, which looks like a simple office. It had a desk, with a computer and monitor on it, and it was covered in papers. It had a metal filing cabinet and a swivel office chair. “This is the office, Mr. Cake does taxes and other boring stuff here, and Mrs. Cake plays her games on the computer.” Pinkie explains before moving on. She leads you up the second flight of stairs, which leads to an oval shaped room with a big bed, closet, fireplace, and a door that leads to a balcony.
“And this is my room!” Pinkie exclaims as she literally bounced into the room. “I'm pretty sure that you will be sleeping in here 'cause there is no other space.”
“That's cool,” you say looking around the room, it was pretty spacious.
“Any questions?” Pinkie asks.
“Um, what now?” you ask.
“Oh shoot! I almost forgot! I have to man shop while Mrs. and Mr. Cake are away!” Pinkie said as she raced down the stairs. You follow at a slower pace and when you reach the bottom steps Pinkie is already in a white apron and behind the counter waiting for customers to walk through the doors. “You can hang out up stairs, or you can hang out down here. Whichever you like,” Pinkie tells you with a smile.
“Aight,” you say as you head to an empty one seated table and sit down. You are about to put on your headphones, but Pinkie calls out your name before you do.
“Are you hungry?” Pinkie asks. Your stomach answers for you in the form of a deep grumble. “I'll be right back,” Pinkie giggled as she disappeared into the kitchen. She returned momentarily with a pretty big cupcake, with rainbow batter, rainbow frosting, and rainbow sprinkles. “I call it The Rainbow Special!” Pinkie exclaimed with a huge smile.
“Well I have gotta say Pinkie, it looks pretty special, and delicious,” you say eying it, wondering if you could actually eat it all. “It reminds me of Skittles.”
“The candy from your world, or Dashie?” Pinkie asked.
“Both,” you say with a little chuckle. You pick up the cupcake and you kinda eye it, trying to figure out just how to eat the darned thing. Eventually you decide to take a big bite out of it and hope for the best. The moment your teeth sink into it you are greeted with an explosion of flavors. “mophy meph.” You say through a mouthful of the rainbow cupcake.
“Sorry what was that?” Pinkie asked. You chewed then swallowed your food.
“Sorry, I said 'Holy hell'. That cupcake is simply amazing,” you say, “how did you get so many flavors in it?”
Pinkie giggled and tapped the side of her head. “Sorry, trade secret.” Just then the door opened, making a tiny bell dingle, and two unicorn mares walked through the door. One was mint green with a slightly darker mint green mane that had a white streak in it. She wore simple day wear clothing, t-shirt and jeans accompanied with sneakers. The other mare was snow white with a head of wild electric blue mane. She wore ripped jeans, a white t-shirt, sneakers with multicolored laces, fingerless black gloves, and a big pair of purple glasses hiding her eyes. “Hey Vinyl! Hey Lyra!” Pinkie yelled from across the room, she turned to you, “I'll be back, I have to man the cash register!” Pinkie said with a salute before skipping to the counter to greet the two mares that had just come in.
You can't help but smile at the pink mares antics. You put on your headphones and turn on some Daft Punk. You pick up your cupcake in one hand and lean back in your chair so it is balancing on only two legs, and go about consuming your cupcake, closing your eyes and bobbing your head to the beat of the song. You easily lose yourself in the music as you are often prone to do, the thing that brings you back to reality is when you go to take a bite of your cupcake, you teeth hit each other instead of cupcake. You open your eyes to find that your ate all of your cupcake. “Well shoot...” you mutter to yourself. Movement catches your eye and you look up to see the two mares walking to you from their table. You press the pause button on your headphone cord and pull the headphones down to your neck as they come up to you table.
“Yo,” the white mare greets you, “we could hear your beats from across the room,” she states with a smile.
“I can turn it down if it's bothering you,” you say while thinking: “Oh shit... was it really that loud?”.
“Nah, that's cool,” the white mare said with a smile, she and her friend each took a seat at your small table. “I just haven't heard that band before, what is it called?”
“Daft Punk, next to Skrillex, they are one of the best electronic music artists there is,” you say.
“Never heard of them,” the white mare said with a blank face.
“Doesn't surprise me, they aren’t from here,” you say.
“Were are they from?”
“My world.” you state plainly.
“Your world?” the white mare asked with a questioning expression on her face.
“Yup, you see I'm not from this world,” you gesture around yourself, “I come from a lowly planet named Earth of the Milky Way galaxy. There I am call a Human.”
There was a pause till the white mare's green friend talked for the first time.
“What's a human?”
