Galatia's First Arrival

View Online

After arriving on Earth, Galatia found out that the scenery looked oddly familiar to her own home, the moon of Saturn, Titan. Wondering how it's possible, but wondering more where she exactly was, since she had no geological understanding of the galaxy. She decides to look around and see if she can find anypony that might be living on this planet and sets off on her quest. Seeing the sights that look like her old home, she starts getting watery eyes and soon tears run down her cheeks, the thought of home and how she was unwanted there made her depressed..that is until she found a sight for sore eyes.


"It's..it's another pony!" Galatia said excitedly wondering if she should go talk to this new pony. A hot pink pony with a mane and tail to match, balloon cutie mark and cheerful attitude. She slowly started to step forward but then was shocked from the noise this new pony has made. "Ahhhhh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" said this new pony frantically. "You are new here! I know you are because I know everyone here and I don't know you so I know you are new!" As this pony kept going on and on frantically about knowing everyone but Galatia, she finally ended the conversation with a huge welcome hug "Welcome to Ponyville! See you soon!" then fled as quickly as she spoke.


"Well, that was quite the...odd experience." said Galatia to herself, knowing that she actually enjoyed the fact she was not neglected instantly. As she continued to walk closer to the town, something flew past her quicker then she ever expected! "What was that?!" she bleated while she looked onto one of the most elegant ponies she has ever seen. Sleek rainbow mane, rainbow thunder bolt cutie mark and a tail to match her mane and beautiful long spread wings. That is the second pony she has seen, though this time Galatia felt ignored and depressed again. Her emotions are mixed as of now after having such a wonderful greeting from the first pony. She hoped and prayed that she wouldn't be ignored much more, but knowing she's new here she knows it's understandable.


Galatia continues to walk a little slower then before, reaching the edge of the town she notices a most wonderful sight. Ponies everywhere she looks, young ponies, old ponies, mid age ponies, ponies of all ages and sizes. She bleated with excitement and started galloping through town, unaware that someone was watching her, but whom? People looking at this new pony galloping through Ponyville seemingly without a care in the world, they wonder who she is, but they have the courage to meet a strange pony. Continuing her excited galloping, she comes across what she determines to be an oddly shaped pony, small, purple with a stiff green mane and belly, longer tail then any other pony she's ever met and standing on his hind legs. She finds herself completely interested in this odd pony and trots over for a greeting. "Hello little fella, my name is Galatia." she started in a shy yet polite voice. "Hey there, mine's Spike, nice to meet you." he replied as kindly.


As Galatia started to blush, she politely asked "What kind of...pony..are you? I've never seen one like you before." standing there awaiting a reply she started thinking of how he got to be misshaped like that. Was it a birth defect? Was his parents doing things they shouldn't have? Was he not properly nourished? On and on thoughts raced through her head, which seemed like minutes was only seconds. "I'm no pony silly, I'm a baby dragon." he said with a confused look "Do you not know what dragons are?" he asked. As confused as Spike might be, Galatia answered "No, I've never heard of dragons before. In fact, I don't think any dragons existed where I am from." and with a shocked look on his face "No dragons existed? That's nonsense..dragons are all over the world!" without knowing where she is actually from. "You have got to come meet Twilight, she's always fond of meeting new people and teaching them about everything." Spike stated. "Well..I don't want to bother her if she's teaching..I would feel bad." Galatia replies with a sad expression. As Spike smiled "She isn't teaching now, she just teaches people new things as they come up, so no worries at all.". She felt reluctant to go along with him, but she thought what's the worst that can happen?


Galatia think that there won't be any problem and who knows, this could be the start of the end of her long journey through the galaxy, only time will tell and she now has all the time in the world. She prays this is going to be a good experience, she thinks to herself she is two of three good experiences, praying for a third good experience. As Spike leads the nervous pony to Twilight, he notices another pony who he seems to know quite well in fact, A blonde colored pony with . "Applejack!" Spike yells across the road "I've got someone you've got to meet." as Applejack takes notice. "Hey there sugarcube, what yall up to?" she asks. "Was just bringing this new pony over to see Twilight for a little learning, she didn't know about dragons" he replied. Blushing as red as Applejacks cutie mark, Galatia lowers her head and shyly says "H..hi, I am..Galatia, n..nice to meet...you." noticing her nervousness, Applejack states warmly "Shucks hon, you don' need to be shy around me, I'm all up fer meetin' new folks like yerself 'round here." and as she ended her statement, Galatia raised her head with a smile. "Thank..you." still nervous but not nearly as much as she was. As they all said there goodbyes, Spike and Galatia continue towards Twilight's library to meet her, still not expecting to much trouble but still fearing it. She tries to put that thought in the back of her head for now and just enjoy the scenery once again.


Still praying that these wonderful meetings with new ponies continues to happen as Spike and Galatia arrive at the library, to much shock to Galatia is just a huge tree. She begins to wonder, what awaits me inside, how nice is this Twilight, will I be a burden for coming here? She knows only one thing, the answers will come with time, who knows how long though.
