My Little Pony: The Sanctuary
Chapter 1
Neo's Equestria Anniversary
Neo was out taking a walk through Ponyville, as he walked through town, ponies smiled at him and some even waved at him. Neo appreciated all the kind gestures from the ponies, it made him feel like this truly was where he belonged. Neo sat down on a bench and played his gameboy for a few minutes. Then he got up off the bench and went back to the Castle of Friendship.
When he got to the castle, it seemed awfully quiet inside. When he went inside, the lights were turned off, Neo walked into the throne room when suddenly, the lights came on and he was greeted by a loud, "SURPRISE!" The room was full of ponies and they were all happy to see Neo, Pinkie Pie trotted up to Neo with a massive grin on her face, she said to Neo, "Hi Neo, I threw this party just for you, do you like it, huh, huh?" Neo was speechless for a second, then he said, "I love it Pinkie, what's the occasion?" Pinkie Pie said, "I know it's late, but I threw you this party in honor of the day you came to Equestria, even though that day was weeks ago, but I decided to throw you this party anyway." Neo felt happy, he said, "Yeah, January 1st of last year was the day I came to Equestria, so that would be my Equestria anniversary, but there was too much going on at the time, but still, thank you Pinkie." Neo gave Pinkie Pie a big hug and said, "Thank you so much for the party Pinkie, you're a wonderful friend." Pinkie Pie hugged him back and said, "Of course Neo, you're my friend, I love throwing parties for my friends, help yourself to some treats."
Pinkie Pie took Neo over to a table with plates of treats made by herself and Mr. and Mrs. Cake from Sugarcube Corner. There was cake, cupcakes, cookies, candy, brownies, and drinks. Neo ate a cupcake and watched all of the ponies party, he couldn't believe all his Ponyville friends came to the castle for this party, the mane 6 and Spike were there, even Starlight Glimmer was there, she was currently in the process of moving in the castle and was going to live with Twilight and Neo as a roommate. Also at the party were the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon, Cheerilee, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Derpy Hooves, and some random Ponyville ponies. Starlight Glimmer approached Neo and said hello to him. She also showed Neo that she had changed her manestyle, Neo said she looked beautiful and Starlight blushed, Starlight told Neo to enjoy the party and she went and had a conversation with Lyra and Bon Bon.
Then the Cutie Mark Crusaders came to see Neo, they smiled at him and Sweetie Belle said, "So Neo, how does it feel to have lived in Equestria for a little over a year?" Neo said, "It's awesome, I love Equestria." Applebloom said, "That's good to hear, we're very happy you came here." Neo said, "Really girls?" Scootaloo said, "Yeah, you've made Ponyville so much more interesting with you concerts and technology and things like that." Sweetie Belle said, "And you've help save Equestria so many times, with help from your friends of course, but you've done so much for us, Ponyville just wouldn't be the same without you, and we're so glad you live here with us." Neo said, "Awww, you 3 are very sweet, and I'm so happy to know you girls, bless your little hearts." Then they all gave Neo a big hug, Neo hugged the crusaders and they laughed as they hugged him. Neo gave each crusader a kiss on the head, which made them blush, then they went off to play.
Neo looked around him at all the ponies that were here to celebrate in his honor of the day he came to Equestria. He was so thankful that he had so many friends and he had made the most wonderful friends anyone could ever ask for. He was thinking that from now on, on every Sunday just like back on Earth, he should start going to Church. He felt that God has given him a wonderful life and so many friends, he didn't go to Church very much back when he lived on earth. But now that he was blessed with a wonderful life and wonderful friends, he wanted to start going back to Church and start thanking God for all the blessings and miracles he has given Neo. But Neo knew there were no Churches in Equestria, and he wasn't sure about the religion of the ponies. But then he knew a place that he thought would be a perfect place for him to go for Church sermons, and that place was the Castle of the 2 Sisters.
