In the midst of the musical, Spectre had frantically been able to get his earbuds in so that he could ignore this song that so randomly appeared as he slowly, yet surely regained his lost sanity. As he felt himself calm down from the songs he is used to, he looks around as he sees the whole town is somehow involved with singing and dancing as he simply walks with the 'Pink Menace' as he would refer to her in someway or form. As the song continued, or what he thinks is the song, the mare Pinkie Pie was giving him a tour of the town as he felt something... wrong, just like in New Foaleans with the gothic stalker mare. He looks around as before his knew it, his light violet eyes met a pair of dark pink/rose color eyes.
Before he could react, he felt the impact like getting hit by a train as everything kinda got blurry after that. Last things he could remember was the head on impact, something squishing and crunching under his back and of course a stallion yelling "My cabbages!" followed by something soft around his face. It took him a while as he woke up and looked up to see white fabric, like a shirt as his hands move around, feeling something... wet and crunchy. As his hands moved more, they felt the fabric and soon also felt... feathers? He moves his hands as the view expanded for somepony to be floating before him as the voice says "Hey! Hands off the wings pal!" as she sounded annoyed. It took him a few as his view got back to normal and saw who or what knocked the hell out of him. Before him stood a mare, a Pegasus really with rainbow colored mane and tail as she wore a white tanktop that had a embroidered symbol of a cloud with a three colored lightning bolt on it. She looked at him with her dark pink/rose color eyes.
Nearby, Spectre can see a man in a green and yellow merchant ensemble with light brown coat, brown eyes, and a gray goatee. His hair is hidden under a green cap as only his sideburns are exposed. His attention is turned back to the mare who growls a bit "If you had not of gotten in my way I wouldn't of crashed you -oof!" she says as Pinkie tackled her into a hug while yelling out "DASHIE!!!" like some kind of gleeful greeting. While the pink mare is hugging the pegasi, Spectre starts to walk away slowly as if to avoid another confrontation or at the least another weird musical number. As he keeps walking, he is soon spun around like a top causing his earbuds to pop out as he soon stops, wobbling as he sees the pegasi again. He groans as she looks at him "Hey! I'm not done talking to you!" she says. Before he could get a word in, the pink mare bounces up and giggles "Oh! Oh! This is umm... I never got his name, but he isn't much of a talker, then again he didn't really talk all that much when I met him." she says as this continued on for a few minutes of Pinkie catching the pegasi up on this new stallion.
She smiles as she soon drags Spectre over to meet Rainbow "This is Rainbow Dash! The most awesome pony in all of Equestria!" she calls out like some kind of fangirl as Dash has a small chuckle "Well yeah, I'm pretty awesome" she says. Spectre felt his blood rise a bit as he didn't have a like for smug people. It reminded him of nobles. Not the cool ones who actually gave a damn about ponies, which to him is only five ponies he knew about. Short list, but still reasonable as he looks at Rainbow and decides a bit of... fun since he is here. He smirks as he says "If she is so awesome, how come I never heard of her?" he asks. The brought a look from Dash as before she said anything, Pinkie smiles "Silly, that's because your new and haven't had time to know everypony!" she says as if it was the right answer. She bounces away as she is still holding onto Spectre's arm as if showing him around, yet giving him no choice but to follow. He sighs as when a few feet away he whispers "Hey Dash. Is your friend here always like this?" he asks.
Dash simply smirks "Yeah, that's Pinkie for ya. She's always planning parties and trying to get everypony to smile. She's a cool friend. Well not as cool as me" she says as that brought a eyeroll from Spectre. Friends. One word that doesn't mean much to a stallion of his work. The only 'friends' he has are those in his family and those who give him deals on ingredients for his potions. He just shakes his head as he keeps walking till he bumps into Pinkie who is standing still. She turns as she bounces to Rainbow "Hey Rainbow? Where are the others?" she asks. The rainbow mare simply shrugs "I think in the castle" she says as she motions over to the large crystal castle as that made Spectre's jaw drop a bit. He wasn't surprised of the castle, but that he didn't know about it till now. Guess when he gets lost in his music, he really gets lost in his music. Before he knew it, he was once again getting dragged against his will by Pinkie Pie as before they reached the bridge, he dug his hooves in and stopped her as he pulls his hand away. He rubs his wrist "There is no way, in any world, I will go into a castle" he says. He stands defiant just as Pinkie did at the bridge as she reaches into her mane as she keeps her smile. She pulls out a box of cupcakes as she bounces around "How about a cupcake?" she asks.
His mind went a bit... fuzzy. To say he had a sweet tooth for cupcakes was a understatement, but they are so addictive that it is hard to resist at all. He looks out the corner of his eye "Vanilla?" he asks. She smiles "Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, peach, banana cream, apple, blueberry, cherry, and four mysterious cupcakes" she says. Spectre bites his bottom lip as he groans "Fine I'll come!.... only if I get the vanilla cupcake" he says. He takes it as rainbow looks at him smugly. He growls a bit "Shut up... I have a sweet tooth" he says as he walks with them as the castle just got... bigger. He stands before the gate as he hears Pinkie yell out "TWILIGHT! WE HAVE A GUEST!" through a bullhorn she got somehow. Spectre looks at Rainbow about to ask as how she got it as all the pegasi does is shrug, as if having no clue herself. The gate opens as the three enter and before a flash of light appears and soon they were all in a large bedroom with a large table with some seats.
The only thing going through his mind is how did today turn out so.... weird? A simple walk to the market was all he needed and wanted to get some supplies. Now, he is dragged around by some pink haired and bodied mare who rambles, got slammed into a cabbage stand, made a pegasi kinda mad, and now he is being forced into a chair by the same pink mare at a table to meet her friends. Today already had enough surprises as his horn glows and he is gone in a flash. He reappears outside the town as he looks back, now seeing the castle in the distance. He shakes his head "Friends? I doubt anyone would want me as a friend.... crazy mare" he says. He simply walks back down the dirt path and to his home as he stops at the small hut of the zebra he has as a sort-of neighbor in Everfree. He leaves a bag of spice for her as he walks back to his hut deeper in the forest.
As he reached the hut he felt... a bit off about the place. It must of been the difference between the doom and gloom of the Everfree and the happy and cheerful Ponyville, but here... it also felt relaxing. He shrugs the feeling out of his head as he simply walks into the hut and levitates one of the bottles down. He fills it with the spice as he levitates it back up to it's holster. The rest of the day, he spent writing in his journal, a book with a blue cover, about what had transpired today as his mind went back to what had happened and one thing just felt... wrong. He sighs "Why did I leave like that?" he thinks as he closes the journal "Cause they will only see a cursed stallion for using forbidden magic that's why" he thinks. He changes into a simple tanktop and black shorts as he lays on his bed and looks up. He sees something and narrows his eyes at a bottle as he groans and starts to curse "Oh for the love of all that is unholy- I'm out of cherry seeds!" he yells as that means one thing.... he has to return tomorrow for more as he does possibly the world's longest facepalm. He is also quite sure tomorrow he is going to get a kick in the head from that Rainbow Dash for up and leaving without warning.
