#6- A Mad, Colorful, Wonderful Town!

(A/N)

You guys think I should slow down? Maybe make the Chapters longer? Lemme know.

Toby's POV

I was blown away by the colorful town before me. Its unique houses of all kinds reflected whoever came out to stare at me. A DJ Pony popped her head out of a plain house but with lazers, strobe lights, and fog machines leaking out the door and windows. A nice, older looking mare peeked out of a pink place with pictures of food on the sign before ducking back inside. The other girls had gone on ahead to warn the town I was coming through and left me with Rarity and Fluttershy to keep me in line. Rainbow had turned around at the last second whispered that I shouldn't step out of line with Fluttershy. She talked about 'The Stare' as if it could kill me, I was beginning to wonder about it myself.

"Darling?"

I turned back and faced Rarity.

"Maybe you could take off your hat and goggles again? I believe your scaring some gentle ponies out there."

"Sure, sorry, I didn't mean to scare anybody."

I quickly took off my hat and goggles before continuing down the path toward the majestic castle in the distance. We passed a few places that Rarity pointed out, such as her Boutique, Twilight's house, and Cloudsdale floating overhead. This world was filling with more and more magic as we got closer to the castle it seemed.

"Hey!"

I looked down and three little foals stood before me. One had wings, an orange coat, and a purple mane. The second was a unicorn with a white coat and a purple/pink mane. The Third had a yellow coat, And a big pink bow in her red mane.

"Uh..." I crouched down to their level, which was basically lying on my stomach. "Can I help you three?"

"Yeah!" the purple maned, orange coat one replied. "What are you?"

I laughed. "Human. The name's Toby. Who are you girls?"

"I'm Scootaloo, this is Sweetie Bell and AppleBloom. We're the Cutiemark Crusaders!"

"Foals without Cutiemarks yet I suppose?" (Rarity had explained it earlier)

"You betcha!"

"Rarity's told me about you guys. She said I might run into you.

"Girls!" Rarity shouted, "Don't hold up our new human friend! Toby needs to go see the Princesses!"

"AWwww," Me and the Crusaders groaned, "Can't they come with us?"

I really liked this little group already, they reminded me of... my old friends.

"Something wrong Mr. Toby?"

"No, no, I'm fine. Just got caught up in my thoughts. Come on Rarity! What harm can they do?"

She gave me a look that said it all. 'you have no idea' She sighed.

"Your funeral."

We cheered and I heaped the crew onto my back before continuing. They taught me some songs and we laughed and sang as we walked. My shell that I've gradually built over the years finally started coming off. Turns out I'm still a kid inside. Didn't ever have time to grow up I guess.

I taught them one of my songs and we sang it all the way to Canterlot Castle. Rarity was having a hard time keeping a straight face as we all sang our hearts out. Fluttershy even started humming along quietly toward the end.

For a second in the distance, I could've sworn I saw a train hop over a rainbow. Could've been my imagination. Or maybe... nah. Couldn't be.
