A/N: This a collaboration between me and Flair the demon dragon king. So go easy as he hasn't been on his profile for a long time. The reason is because of the upload not allowing him to place a document on the site. So he asked me to handle the upload while we do the story together.

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

The conductor pony comes up to Lightning Bolt and says, "Ticket please." The black pegasus gives him his ticket to Ponyville. After the conductor left Lightning Bolt keeps looking out the window watching the scenery roll by. 'How did I get roped into this again?' The black pegasus asks himself as he continues staring out the window until the train stops at the train station.

After disembarking onto the train station he hears someone yells, "Apples, get your fresh apples." The black pegasus faces where that came from and sees an earth pony with a light brilliant gamboge coat, pale light grayish olive mane and tail, and moderate sap green eyes wearing a light brown Stetson hat selling apples. The pegasus's stomach then rumbles and he glares at it before walking over to the earth pony.

"Howdy stranger. Want to buy some apples?" The mare asks.

"Yes, how much?" The pegasus asks.

"Two bits each." The mare replies.

"I'll take a dozen then." The black pegasus says taking out 24 bits to pay the mare.

"Thank ya kindly, mister. I'm Applejack." She said holding out a hoof.

"My name is Lightning Bolt, Miss. Applejack." The black pegasus says. Applejack catches the foreign accent in his voice.

"Ya don't sound like you're from here. Where ya from?" Applejack asks.

"Well I came from Stalliongrad, but I used to live in Equestria." Lightning Bolt clarifies.

"Why did ya do that?" Applejack asks, her curiosity peaked.

"Well a few things happened and it wasn't by choice." Lightning Bolt says. "Well I got to get moving tovarich. Need to buy a new home." Lightning Bolt says taking notice of the time.

"Hope ya have a great time, bye." Applejack said as she waves as she puts the apples in his saddlebag.

Lightning Bolt waves back and walk off. After passing a few house he realized he didn't know where town hall was. Lightning Bolt aimlessly walks getting increasingly frustrated until he hears a whistling sound. He looks back and forth until he is hit by something sending him into the ground. "Ow." He says as he hears a female voice chuckles nervously.

"Sorry about that. I was trying out for a new trick for the Wonderbolts." A mare voice said nervously from his back.

Lightning Bolt looks up to see a pegasus with a light cerulean coat with a rainbow colored mane and tail and moderate cerise eyes, on his back.

"Let me help you." Rainbow said getting off of him and lending a hoof. Lightning Bolt takes it being held up by the mare then stretching his wings to make sure they weren't hurt by that crash.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria." Rainbow said while striking a pose in midair.

"Fastest flyer huh? Surprised I'm mostly uninjured from that crash." Lightning Bolt says.

"Are you questioning my speed? Cause I can fly circles around you!" Rainbow yelled as she got in his face.

"No, I'm just stating a fact." Lightning Bolt says sarcastically

Rainbow stares down at his dark red eyes. She then smirks. "I like ya." She then flaps her wings a bit and pulls back a little. "Want to fly with me? You seem fast and I need a fast flyer." Rainbow Dash says with enthusiasm.

"I would, but I'm kinda lost and need to get to town hall to buy a house before nightfall." Lightning Bolt says.

Rainbow's smirk falls into a frown when she heard that. "Oh...I'll show you. Just follow me." She told him as she starts to fly off to town hall.

Lightning Bolt shrugs before spreading his wings and takes off, keeping up with Rainbow Dash's speed to her surprise. Both land beside the town hall. Lightning Bolt looks up to it and saw it was a fairly modest building.

"Well here you are, town hall. I got to get going, still practicing for the Wonderbolts." Rainbow said as she flew off.

"Interesting mare there." Lightning Bolt says to himself before walking in to the town hall. After about an hour of paperwork and payment he walks out with the deed to his new house. Lightning Bolt walks down the street reading the Deed and insurance papers. Apparently his house was next to a river that if any damages are caused by the river is on his head. He then bumps into someone else then hears a gasp and looks up and sees a earth pony with pale light grayish raspberry coat, a brilliant raspberry mane and tail, and light cerulean eyes.

"Hi there!" The pony yells.

"Ah, greetings tovarich." Lightning Bolt greets.

The pony looks at him questionably. "That's a funny word. Tovar-itch? Oh well, I'm Pinkie Pie. Party planner extraordinaire and I'm here to welcome you to Ponyville. So welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to Ponyville. Welcome, welcome, welcome, nice for you to be here. Welcome, welcome, welcome, enjoy your time here. Cupcake?" Pinkie said at a thousand miles per hour, holding out a cupcake on her hoof.

'This is one strange pony.' Lightning Bolt thinks and cautiously reaches for the cupcake. Lightning Bolt grabs it and looks away from the mare for a second and finds her gone. "Huh?"

"Welcome to Ponyville!" Pinkie yells again from behind him causing him to jump into the air and hang from a low cloud.

A light gray mare looks down to the stallion hanging from her cloud with crossed eyes. "Hi there, mister." She said weirdly...to him of course.

'These different accents are kind of hard to understand.' Lightning bolt thinks. "Hi tovarich."

The mare looks at him questionably. "What was that? Any case, my name's Ditzy Doo, but everypony calls me Derpy." She then looks to where he's hanging from. "Aren't you going to let go?" She asks while pointing to his hooves.

"Tovarich is another way to say friend or comrade and I guess I should." Lightning Bolt says flapping his wings and getting onto the cloud. Lightning Bolt sees her eyeing his cupcake. "Would you like it?" Derpy's eyes went wide and she grabs the cupcake without another word. Biting into the cupcake with her eyes close, she tasted the mini-cake. Her eyes opens up again as she starts to chew slowly to find out what she's eating. She then spits it out, covering the cloud in breadcrumbs. "This isn't a muffin." She said while pointing to the vile offender. "It's a cupcake. Didn't you notice?" Lightning Bolt asks. Derpy shakes her head and throws the cupcake behind her. "Nope."

A gasp is heard as they both look down and see Pinkie clutching the cupcake as if it is a real pony. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! Who would throw away such a masterpiece?!" Pinkie then looks up to the cloud and sees Derpy and Lighting. "Oh, that explains it." Pinkie then drops the half eaten cupcake in a nearby trashcan and hops away.

'That was weird.' Lightning Bolt thinks. "So, I'm Lightning Bolt Miss. Derpy."

Derpy holds out a hoof. "Nice to meet you." She said as one of her eyes looks upward. Lightning Bolt shakes her hoof with his.

"Maybe I'll see you around Derpy." Lightning Bolt says taking off and flying away.

Lightning Bolt flies off, occasionally looking at the map he got from the Town hall and eventually found his new house, a two story building built next to a river. "Well, home sweet home I guess." Lightning Bolt says before entering the house.

Well that's the first chapter. The real action or maybe the beginning of it all begins in the next one. So sit back, read, and enjoy.

Now we're off to make more, bye.

Oh and read and review.
