As the train pulled into the station, I heard a colt shout: "Now in Ponyville! Everypony get off!" I was at first confused by the rudeness of the colt, but as I looked out the window I was sitting next to, I saw it was a very old looking pony, and with a wrench for his cutie mark, it was clear that his talent was not a social one. Anyway, I used my horn to magically pick up my grey bag and the my pet crow's cage.
I walked off the train and discovered a crown of ponies circling around something. I adjusted my black vest and decided to investigate. As I got closer, I discvered the source of the commotion, it was a single pink pony, with wild pink hair, jumping around and singing. I was about to walk away, only interested in getting to the place that I'd be staying in, when suddenly the pink pony was right in front of me, mere inches from my face.
"Well hi there!" she exclaimed. "Are you new to Ponyville? I've never seen you around here before! And I know just about everypony there is! Why, I even know a zebra and-"
"Yes. I'm new here." I interrupted. "If you'll excuse me..." I trailed off, inching away from her. Her eyes suddenly went as wide as plates.
"New...? Here...?" she stammered.
"Uh... yes...?" I mumbled.
"YAY!" She screamed. "YesyesyesyesyesyespartytimepartytimepartypartypartyPARTY!" she began jumping around again.
"Ok... then..." I mumbled. "Bye..." I started walking away, but immediately came face to face with the pink pony again.
"Nice to meet you!" she exclaimed vigorously shaking my hoof. "My name is Pinkie Pie! What's yours?"
"Uh, I'm Edgar." I stated, slightly uncomfortable.
"Edgar?" she questioned. "Hmm... I know! I'll call you Eddie! That's much better than boring old 'Edgar.' So! what kind of things do you like? I ask because then I'll know the perfect kind of party to throw for you to welcome you here in Ponyville!" Suddenly, my crow squawked, grabbing Pinkie's attention. "Wowie! I've never seen a bird like that before! What is it? It's so black and dismal looking..."
"Yeah, it's a crow." I explained. "And they normally look that way."
"Really?" She asked. "You know, I have a pet too!His name is Gummi!" Suddenly, a small green lizard leapt out from her mane and sunk its... gums... into my crow's cage.
"Pinkie!" I heard somepony yell. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" I turned to see a multicolored streak rocket across the sky towards Pinkie and I. The rainbow suddenly stopped just in front of Pinkie, revealing a blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane. "We were supposed to meet an hour ago!" She said. "Where were you?"
"I was right here!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Rainbow Dash! Met my new friend Eddie!" She exclaimed, pointing at me.
"New guy, huh?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yes. And, it's Edgar." I responded, trying to inch away. "Now, please, I must be going."
"Hold it!" Rainbow Dash shouted, stopping me in my tracks. "I got a rule here, and it's that anypony who's new here to Ponyville has to race me."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I said so! First to 'Sweet Apple Acres' and back wins! One-Two-Three-GO!" and like that she was off, trailing a blue streak behind her.
"Wait!" I called after her. "I don't know... where... that... is...and she's gone." sure enough, Rainbow Dash was nothing but a speck in the distance. "Man..." I muttered. "She is fast."
"Yup!" Pinkie exclaimed. "She is just about the fastest pony that I know! In fact, I'm pretty sure that she IS the fastest pony I know!Why, she managed to fly so fast that she pulled off the sonic rainboom!"
"Really?" I asked. "She's the pony who did the sonic rainboom? Wow... well, um, it was nice meeting you, but, I need to get my things to my new house." I pulled out a map of Ponyville and looked for where my house was. "Excuse me... Pinkie? Do you know where this is?" I showed Pinkie Pie the map and pointed at my house.
"Okie dokie lokie!" She said, looking at the paper. Very suddenly, she gasped. "Oh-boy-oh-boy-oh-boy!" She began jumping around excitedly.
"What?" I asked. "What is it? Is there a problem?" Pinkie suddenly stopped mid-jump.
"Problem?" she exclaimed. "It's the exact opposite of a problem! Your house is right next to Sugar-Cube Corner!" She squeeled with a large grin on her face.
"So?" I asked nervously
"Sugar-Cube Corner is where I live!" She yelled.
"What..."
"So it looks like we'll be neighbors! Hooray!" She started hopping off towards the town. "C'mon, Follow me! I'll show you the way!" I sighed as I began to slowly follow the pink pony.
"I'm beginning to regret having come here..." I grumbled.
