"Holy shit. I'm in Equestria."
"Well, no kiddin'!" Applejack replies sarcastically.
"Be quiet you." You instruct, shutting her up immediately. Your hand goes to your chin as if on reflex as you think about the situation. So, if I'm in Equestria and not some weird dream, and I woke up in the Everfree Forest, meaning I wasn't summoned using average or Alicorn magic, otherwise I would have woken up in Canterlot or The Crystal Empire or Ponyville, then how should I proceed? You think. Come on brain, Think! But woe, alas, you could not remember anything from your plans if such a situation ever occurred. Don't act like you never had them.
You turn to Applejack. "Okay, as you can guess I'm not from around here. At all. And I need help from someone who may know something about this, perhaps your friend Twilight Sparkle." Up until that last point, Applejack had worn a neutral expression. But now she wore a face of shock. But only momentarily.
"How in th' hay did y'all know 'bout Twi?" She questions, her eyes narrowing as if staring into your very core and her head leaning in to accentuate that point.
"Well, it's a long story, and I'm sure it wouldn't be of any interest to you, Applejack." You say, catching her off guard.
"How do ya know mah name?" she says, the shock she is wearing remaining on her face.
"Same reason I know about Twilight. Could you take me to her so we can discuss everything?"
She thinks about it for a moment before turning back to you. "Ah suppose. But ah don't think that's such a good idea at the moment, sugarcube." You had an internal fangasm at that. "She's in one of her study crazes and Ah don't think that you arriving is gonna help."
"But you will take me, right?" You ask.
"Fine. But don't say ah didn't warn ya." she replies. "Come on. It's just a 15 minute walk."
Huh. She's taking this remarkably well. You ponder. Perhaps it's because she deals with weird crap every other Thursday?
You walk at a steady pace on the way to Twilight's castle, choosing to remain quiet all the way. It took five minutes to get out of the orchard and into outer Ponyville. For the rest of the journey, you noticed that you were receiving strange looks from the residents. Understandable, I suppose. The rest of the journey went smoothly.
As you arrive at the castle, you notice two things. One, the castle was bigger than you surmised from the show. Two, The Mane Six are crowded outside the door, minus Twilight and, of course, Applejack.
"Howdy, y'all." Applejack greets them. "What's goin' on?"
"The egghead's locked herself inside to stop us from messing with her studying." Rainbow Dash responded. "Something about 'a giant breakthrough' and 'alternate dimensions' yada yada yada. Not like I... care...anyway." She trails off, noticing the foreign visitor.
"This is... uh... actually, you never told me yer name."
Your creative side sparks up and you come up with the most amazing, awe-inspiring name you could, one that would surely leave it's mark in history just for how it sounds.
"You can call me Anon." You say, reaching out your hand for a hand/hoof shake. Real creative brain. Thanks a lot.
Rainbow wearily shakes your hand. "And I'm-"
"Rainbow Dash, element of loyalty, the fastest flier in Equestria and a Wonderbolt reserve, hoping to make your position in the Wonderbolts more permanent." You interrupt. Rainbow only stares slack-jawed in shock.
"Yeah, he does that." Explains Applejack.
"OHH! OOH! ME NEXT! ME NEXT!" Pinkie shouts energetically, hoping high in the air with one hoof raised over her head.
"Okay then." You say. "You are Pinkamena Diane Pie, known to her friends as Pinkie Pie, element of laughter, baker at Sugarcube Corner, foalsitter for Pumpkin and Pound Cake, and also the only pony to actively break the 4th wall and defy physics. And I said pony, not Draconequus." You state matter-of-factly. "Should I continue?"
Rarity is the next to speak up. "Well, what about me, darling?"
Maybe I can have some fun with this one. You think mischievously. "You are Rarity, an overly upper-class mare with a Canterlot accent who acts high class despite living in a countryside town, somehow the element of generosity despite being possessive over a boulder called Tom," She blushes at that. "And excessively uses the word 'Darling', making her seem overly flirtatious. Does that suffice?" You look around. Rarity is fuming, steam literally coming out of her ears, whilst the others are making no effort to hide their amusement. Even Fluttershy is giggling behind her hoof.
"I guess that leaves Fluttershy. Fluttershy is the element of kindness, Ponyville's local animal carer who will look after any animal. She is kind to a fault, often being considered a doormat because ponies keep walking on top of her. Even though she is like this, she still has the courage to shout at a grown dragon for attacking her friends and has been through Nightmare Moon, Discord, Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Discord again and finally Tirek." At this point, Fluttershy is practically glowing with an intense blush at the (sort of) compliments she had just received.
You internally hnnnnnnng as she shies away from you and lets out a small "eep". Just as this happens, the door to the castle opens and a disheveled, crazy-looking Twilight steps out.
"Sorry abo-" She stops when she sees you. "Well, what do we have here? Be this a being from an alternate dimensional plane?" She steps forward, he eye and neck twitching.
Rainbow Dash turns to you with a genuinely fearful expression.
"Dude. Run."
