It was a pretty normal day in Ponyville. The clouds were placed accordingly by the pegasi on sky patrol duty, the residents were moving about their usual business, and the city has been free of monsters, villains, and unwanted visitors for at least a year now. That's a new record. Meanwhile, a certain pink party pony was prancing about, giving out invitations to her latest party.
"Ooh, Roseluck, don't forget to bring some of your amazing flowers to the party!" Pinkie said to the red-maned pony.
"Sure thing, Pinkie, anything for you!" Roseluck replied.
"Oh, and don't forget to bring those party hats, Cheerilee!"
"Wouldn't dream of it Pinkie!"
"Applejack! I need some of your best apple cider!"
"Ain't a problem, Pinkie, see you soon!"
"Oh, and don't forget- huh?" Pinkie Pie stopped in front of a pony she had never seen before. "Gasp! A new pony in ponyville! This is really great! Where are you from? Are you excited about being in ponyville? Will you come to my party? It wasn't for any occasion, but now that you're here, it can be a welcoming party! Isn't that exciting? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
"Hmm..." mumbled the stranger in response. He wore a white jacket and a book bag around his torso, as well as a matching white akubra on his head. His dark grey mane and brown fur gave him a serious look overall, but the smirk on his face says otherwise.
"Whoops, sorry, I forgot to ask for your name!" Giggled Pinkie Pie, "Can't have a welcoming party without knowing your name, silly me!"
"It's Field Work." Said the new pony.
"Ooh, you mean you work in the fields like Applejack? You two should totally talk to each other! I bet you two can talk about the best ways to grow apples and stuff!"
"Heh, that's not exactly what I do..." Says Field Work.
"Oh, then what is it that you-" Pinkie suddenly looked up. "Oh, wait, I'm still planning for the welcoming party! I still need some cake some punch..."
"Excuse me, ma'am, but I never agreed to-" That's as far as Field Work got before the Pink Pony pranced onwards to invite more ponies to the party. He sighed, then reached into his book bag. He flipped to a page full of notes and made some corrections.
Earth Pony - Earth ponies are one of the three main species that live in Equestria. Though they lack the ability to use magic or fly, their connection to nature makes them just as necessary as and perhaps more important than the other ponies, since they have the extraordinary ability to grow and harvest food at an incredible rate. Earth ponies are capable of performing incredible feats of strength with little or no visible strain, and enjoy long-lasting stamina as well. Most earth ponies are docile in nature. The behavior of the earth ponies tends to be erratic, due to the boundless energy and strength that they have.
Field Work nodded at his correction, although he was a bit upset about that he was misinformed about his own race. Nonetheless, he thought, this will all be worth it in the end. Just to be safe though, I should probably check up on my other entries.
"LOOK OUT!!!" Field barely had enough time to jump out of the way of a cyan pegasus, who immediately crashed into the spot where he was just standing. A yellow pegasus soon joined the one on the ground.
"Oh my." said the shy pegasus. "Are, you okay, Rainbow Dash?"
"Ow... yeah, I'm -ow!- I'm okay Fluttershy..." Rainbow Dash winced at every word.
"My goodness, you sound hurt! I need to take you to my place to treat your wounds!"
"No, it- ow!- it's okay, I'll be fine..."
"Nonsense! I insist you follow me at once! I mean, if that's okay with you..."
"OW!... okay..." Rainbow Dash rolled his eyes and tried to get up, only to quickly slump back down. "OW! It really hurts now!"
"What's going on over here?" A white unicorn with a purple mane came up. "Can't I go out for a stroll and not see you injuring yourself for once?"
"Haha, very funny" Rainbow said sarcastically, followed by more cringing.
"Oh, Rarity, thank goodness you're here!" Fluttershy said. "Rainbow needs medical attention, but she can't move!"
"Well, that does seem like quite a predicament." Rarity held a hoof to her mouth. "But don't worry, I'll assist my friends in anyway I can!" Rarity focused intensely on Rainbow Dash, and her horn glowed blue. Rainbow Dash was lifted in the air with an aura of blue magic.
"Thank you! Quick, we must hurry." Fluttershy said as the three left towards Fluttershy's cottage.
Hmm, thought Field Work, I haven't seen much pegasi and unicorns where I come from. Maybe now is a good chance to look back on my notes and make sure that my research is correct.
Pegasus - Pegasus ponies, or Pegasi, are ponies characterized by their wings and their ability to fly, walk on clouds, and control the weather. Pegasi demonstrate great speed and agility in the air, and are equally matched on the ground. It is believed that pegasi contain a very limited amount of magic, allowing them to manipulate the clouds and stabilize the weather, assisting in the crops tended by earth ponies. Pegasi are notorious for their organised, militaristic behavior, and will care for others in need over their own needs.
Unicorn -Unicorns have a long horn protruding from their forehead which glows when their magical powers are used. Although they are associated with their magic, a unicorn's horn is strong and sharp enough to have mundane uses. However, instead of using physical strength, unicorns make the most use if their intellect and their ability with magic for almost every situation. Most unicorn magic revolves only around their natural talents, since unicorn magic itself does not happen without reason. That is why an infant unicorn is at his/her critical stage, since they get strange magic surges that come and go.
Seems about right. What else is there? Field Work turned the page. On the next note was a single word underlined with arrows pointing back to the three previous entrees.
ALICORN.
Oh, yeah that's what I was here for. Field looked around, trying to spot the alicorn he had been searching out since he got here. Finally, he spotted the large crystal castle, and started to walk towards this.
"Time to fix this once and for all." Said Field Work to no one in particular.
