I awoke sometime later in the afternoon, judging it to be around 5 PM. I yawn broadly and sit up from my bed, and move off of it. Suddenly, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up as I hear a crack in the floorboards behind me. I turn around to see a lavender unicorn staring at me, apparently hoping I didn’t see her. I yell and fall backwards onto the floor, flailing like mad. I stop, and look back at the unicorn. I recognize the face to be Twilight’s. I sigh a breath of relief.
“You really shouldn’t sneak up on me like that, those games I play have made me VERY paranoid when something is out of place,” I smile worryingly.
“Sorry, it’s just that you are a totally different species, I got kind of interested,” she explained, blushing. I laugh and ruffle her hair, which makes her blush deepen
“It’s okay, you didn’t know. Well, at least you do now,” I say. She smiles, and turns to leave my room. Upon leaving, I groan and lay back on my bed. I have no idea why I did, I just did. I seemed to do it a lot, according to my friends back on Earth… Which I will apparently never see again… Ever… Damn it.
I get off the bed and leave the guest room. I look around for Twilight, but after 5 minutes of not knowing where I am going, I stop.
“Where in the hell is Twilight?” I ask out loud.
“I dunno, but who are you?” I hear a voice say. I yell and fall off the step I was sitting on. I contact with the ground and yelp. I look up to see a pink fluff hovering right above my head. I look up a little more to see a pair of blue eyes. I quickly recognize them as Pinkie’s. She snorts, and starts laughing very loudly. 
“What’s going on here?” Twilight says, coming out of her room. I facepalm. The only place I didn’t look, and she’s in there.
“Twilight, there is a funny monkey thing in your room!” Pinkie laughs even louder and falls on her back. I scowl and sit up.  I look at Twilight, who shrugs and levitates Pinkie back on her hooves. She wipes her eyes and looks at me.
“Who are you?” She asks once again. I sigh, and hold my hand out.
“I’m Jeff. I’m a human, incase you were wondering,” I whisper the last part.
“Well of course I know you’re a human, silly!” She giggles. “How do you think I know that we are being read by people right now?” What?
“Uh… ‘Kay?” I question.
“Don’t bother asking, she’s just being… herself,” Twilight sighs.
“Oh, I haven’t told you my name yet! Silly me!” Pinkie laughs again. “Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie! I love throwing parties and making friends do you want to be my friend Jeff huh do ya do ya do ya do-“ Twilight cuts her off by shoving a hoof in her mouth. I laugh at Pinkie and she quickly joins in. Pinkie abruptly stops laughing and gives a big gasp. She looks at me.
“You’re new in town, aren’t you?” She asks, leaning in. I nod and she bounces in the air slightly. “Woo Hoo! That means I get to throw you a welcome party! Oh, but don’t tell anyone, it’ll be a surprise,” She gives me a shushing motion with her hoof, and I follow suit. She smiles, apparently satisfied, and bursts out the door, bouncing instead of walking. I stare at her quizzically, and then back to Twilight, who shrugs once again.
“As I said, it’s just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie,” she explains. I nod and stand up; just realizing I had been sitting on the ground the whole time Pinkie was at the library. I sigh. Twilight teleports in front of me and looks at me with worry in her eyes.
“Is anything wrong?” she slightly tilts her head. I felt an urge to flutter in the air, seeing the cuteness overload as she tilts her head. I shake my head, and look back at Twilight.
“Well, it’s just that I had so many friends back where I used to live on Earth, and now, I may never see them again,” I say. Twilight, nods understanding me, and smiles.
“Don’t worry; I’m sure you will meet tons of new friends at Pinkie’s welcome party!” She smiles even wider. “She throws the best parties in town, you know!” I smile broadly at learning this not-so new information.
“I bet she does.”


As I entered the doors to Sugarcube Corner, I wonder what would await me inside the candy filled bakery. Literally the moment I took a step inside the bakery, the lights flickered on and at least hundreds of ponies yell, all at the same time, “SURPRISE!” I jump back in surprise, and smile broadly. All of a sudden, everypony in the room became quiet. They looked at me quizzically, not understanding what I was. I laugh, smiling, and introduce.
“Hi, my name is Jeff. As you might be noticing, I am not a pony,” I hear a few people whispering to the pony next to them. I continue, “I am a human from a place called Earth. I’m sure, somepony had to at least tell you that much?” I look over to Twilight, who seems to be shuffling her feet, feeling slightly off, and then Pinkie, who gasped very loudly. She quickly jumped in front of me and cleared her throat.
“Excuse me everypony, but I see it’s fit to tell you that Jeff here is not a pony, he is a human from a place called Earth! You probably didn’t know that, so I figured it would be best to tell you!” Pinkie smiled and bounced away. I blinked a couple times, before falling on my back and laughing very loudly. I hear the other ponies in the room following suit. I wipe my eyes and stand up. Everypony in the room is either laughing still, or still staring at me. I raise my shoulders, staring at them.
“What are you all waiting for? Let’s party!” I yell. Everypony cheers and I notice DJ-PON3 way in the back of the room, turning up the music. I smile, and decide to mingle with the other ponies. I notice Twilight drinking some punch, and I walk up to her. I pour a little punch for myself, and take a sip. I smile in enjoyment. I never knew punch could taste this good!
“Oh, hello Jeff!” Twilight says, noticing my presence. I say hello back, drinking the rest of the punch.
“So, uh… you said earlier that you could introduce me to some friends of yours?” I ask politely.
“Oh yes, that’s correct! C’mon, I will introduce to my four other best friends!” she says to me. I nod and follow her to five other ponies talking and laughing in the corner.
“Hello, everyone, I would like you to meet Jeff!” she announces to the rest of her friends. They all give their hellos to me, while I nod in return. 
“Alright, this is Applejack,” she points her hoof to an orange earth pony, which lowers her hat, and raises it in acknowledgement. “This is Rairty,” she points to a white unicorn, who simply says “Charmed.” I smile and roll my eyes slightly. Twilight smiles warmly, and continues. “This is Fluttershy,” she points to a yellow Pegasus, who simply squeaks in response, hiding behind her pink mane. I smile and wave at her, and she simply cringes in response. “I believe you are already familiar with Pinkie Pie,” Twilight rolls her eyes, and points to the pink mare that is smiling really widely at me. “And finally, this is Rainbow Dash!” she exclaims, pointing to a cyan Pegasus, who nods at me. I nod back at her, smiling.
“Hello. As Twilight said, my name is Jeff,” I say shyly. I never really was one to make new friends, especially to ponies. They all nod to me, a couple saying “Hello.” For about 2 minutes, it was an awkward silence before Rainbow spoke up.
“Okay, I have a question. How the hay did you get here?” she asks roughly. I cringe back at the harshness in her voice, and Twilight scowls at her. I breathe in and out, ready to re-tell the long tale.
“Well, it started when I was having a dream.”


“… and now I’m here,” I finish. It must’ve been a while, because I look around, and see about fifteen other ponies listening on the story. I laugh, waving my hand at them. They all turn their heads, and whistle, pretending to not have ever listened to the story. I look back at the six ponies, which are all gawping at me with their mouths wide open. I laugh once again, for about the twentieth time that day, and raise their jaws back up. As I do, they each shake their heads and lower their heads in embarrassment. I smile, leaning down to look at them. They each laugh, and begin talking to one another I guess, adding me and Twilight into their conversations.

I could already tell we were all going to be very good friends.


 A/N: Holy, I almost forgot to write this. It's almost Saturday as of publishing this, so it might of been slightly rushed. I will eventually go back and fix some problems, but not now.

Also, WOOT! I got 1,500+ words without including the authors note this time! WOO HOOO!
