	The 2 ponies and the dragon made their arrival in the town, 'Ponyville' as it was known.
Sora's thoughts were running faster than he could think. He had been in animal form before, in the Pride Lands, but never had he been a pony. He was amazed how natural he felt walking around in his new equine form, and was amazed at just how beautiful this world - Equestria - was. It was amazingly beautiful, so pure, and uncorrupted. He could practically feel music in the air. And the smells - so sweet, like he was in a sugar coated dream.
They arrived at a place called 'Sugarcube Corner', where Twilight explained, a friend of hers lived. They walked inside, and were immediately greeted by a flash of pink.
Before he knew it, both himself and Twilight were wrapped in a crushing bear hug by a pink pony, and felt incredibly uncomfortable.		
"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Twilight, it's nice to see you. And you too, Spike! And ooooooh who's this new pony I've never metandhelookssoniceandhesoundshungryand...."
"Pinkie!" Twilight yelled.
"Yes?" she responded, in an almost singsongy tone.
"This is Sora. He's new to Ponyville, and he comes from a faraway place. He also seems to be very hungry, and I was hoping you might have something sweet for him to enjoy?"
"Oh yes, we just finished up a batch of cupcakes! Oh, and hello Sora. My name's Pinkie Pie, and I'm super happy to meet you! I can tell we're gonna be good friends!"
Sora, while slightly uncomfortable, did seem at ease - this one seemed to be a sweet pony, filled with joy and happiness. One couldn't help but like her, even after just meeting her.
"I'm sure we will be too."
Pinkie went to grab the cupcakes, and Twilight and Sora sat down at a table.
"So, Sora, how long will you be in Ponyville?" Spike started off their conversation.
"Um.... I'm not sure. I need to find the source of the Heart-" 
Another mental slap.
"The, ugh, dark things around here. But I haven't seen anything suspicious."
"You need to find dark things? For what?" Twilight asked, obivously intrigued.
"Um.... to destroy them. I need to protect this place."
"Oh! You must be a knight!"
"Uh... yeah, I guess you could say that."
Twilight was intrigued by this new pony, this Sora. A knight? How could he be? He's so young.
"So, did Princess Celestia send you here?"
"Princess Celestia? Uh, no..... a friend named Yen Sid sent me here. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how I ended up around here. I was just flying -"
Spike interrupted the pony.
"Flying? How? You're not even a pegasus."
"Oh.... I use magic to fly."
Twilight interjected at this.
"Magic? But how? You're not an alicorn, and even I can't use my magic to fly."
"Well, it's a special kind of magic..... Known only to certain individuals. Top secret."
"Well, I guess I can respect that."
"Here they are! The cupcakes!" Pinkie said as she arrived, sitting down next to Sora, scooting in closer.
That uncomfortable feeling took him again.
The rest of the conversation was relatively normal., with the 3 ponies and Spike downing a few cupcakes and enjoying themselves.
"Well, after we're done here, perhaps you'd like me to introduce you to my other friends, Sora?" Twilight asked.
"Sure, that'd be great. I love new friends!"
Saying that was a mistake, as he soon learned.
"You do?! So do I! I love new friends, but that's not the only thing I love! I love cupcakes and sweets and fun and laughter and...."
Pinkie kept that up for another 10 or so minutes.
