Author's Note: Hello everyone, thank you for keeping with the story it shall get very, very interesting soon (mwuahahah :P). I'm still looking for any ideas and next chapter I will start accepting oc characters. Thank you and enjoy!
The sun was soon setting, too soon actually. I wished to myself that the day could drag on longer but everyone knew what was to happen, especially me. I looked from pony to pony as they each shared a nervous glance with each other. 'What was to become of me? The human, possibly the only one in existence here in Equestrian. With whom will he stay? How will we even get him into town? Should we just walk with him and watch as most of the other ponies run and scream in terror?' What to do what to do.
Finally someone spoke up, breaking up an awkward tension.
"Sooooo what are we gonna do with it?" Rainbow asked. Wow thanks, my new nickname: 'It' -.-.
"If I may..?" I asked, everpony turned their head towards me. Great…center of attention..not favored.
"…could you please call me Scott? Or better yet Scotty? Really just anything other than 'It'? 'It' just doesn't sound good…please?" I pleaded, hoping that introducing myself a little bit would hopefully make them trust me a little more. I mean as long as they didn't find me as an enemy or a threat everything is a-ok.
"Sorry, just know that we don't many…well any of your kind around here." Twilight remarked.
"That's totally fine and I understand perfectly, but if you could just call me Scotty that would be perfect..i mean if you don't mind." I said. Jeez I sound almost like Fluttershy. The ponies all nodded in agreement. Ok, one problem solved….a bajillion left to go.
The next topic on hand was how I was going to get around town and also where I was going to stay. None of the ponies volunteered their homes which made sense to me; I mean would you welcome a strange being which you know nothing about into your home? Yea, I thought not. We all sat, deep in thought of what was to come of me till Pinkie Pie jumped up with a gasp. I sh** you not, she gasped so hard that I thought she was going to suck in the whole universe or..universes…or whatever.
"If you're totally new here, then you don't have any friends! And if you don't have any friends then you'll be lonely! And if you're lonely then you'll be sad! And if you're sad..!" She said as she wrapped her front hooves around my neck in attempt to hug me (more like a choke hold).
"Then who knows what could happen!.." She continued
"Cutting off circulation.." I gasped.
"If you're sad then that makes me sad!" She rambled on.
"Everything's going dark…"I choked out.
"So we have to throw you a welcome to Ponyville party! Or more like a welcome to Equestria party! And we can invite the Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!"
"Or a funeral party…" I said almost blacking out until she let go and I fwomped (funny word for fell. What? I like using funny words?) onto the ground gasping for air.
"Uh ah think ya broke 'em sugar cube." Applejack said as the ponies gathered around me.
"Nope *cough cough* I'm good, just a broken neck is all" I manage to choke out as I finally stood up, almost falling again as a rush of dizziness overcame me. Great, head rush. I placed my hand on my forehead and a hand on the tree to keep my balance. I looked up and noticed my backpack still hanging in the tree, I knew jumping up and grabbing it was out of the question. I turned to Rainbow Dash and asked:
"Hey Rainbow Dash…is it?" I asked trying to sound like I didn't quite know their names so that they didn't know that I actually knew them very well….or did I?
"Uh yeah?" She asked, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Do you think you could grab my back pack please?" I asked.
"Why? Got a secret in there? Hm?!" She questioned me, with a rise in her voice.
"N-no I just would like to have my stuff so it doesn't litter Applejack's tree, you don't have to if you don't want...sorry." I said, turning to the tree and began to attempt to climb it until I noticed a purple, sparkly mist engulf my pack as it levitated off the branch, I stopped my ascension and stood at the base as the pack was lowered into my open hands. I turned around quick enough to catch the same glow fade from Twilight's horn.
"Thanks Twilight." I said with a smile. She just gave a quick smile before she shot Rainbow Dash a mean glare.
"Rainbow. Be kind to our guest. Can't you see things aren't quite going in his favor?" She almost ordered Rainbow.
"But what if he's a changeling spy?! Just waiting for us to trust him then wam! We're toast and all of Equestria is done for!" She shouted, pleading Twilight to understand. This did make Twilight and her friends think for a little and they all looked to me with concern in their eyes.
"Please, trust me" I pleaded, "I'm not one of these…changeling things you speak of." Good job Scotty, play dumb. I still had to make sure they didn't suspect that I knew a great deal of what is in this world of theirs.
"My species call ourselves humans, and I'm quite sure that these changelings don't have access to my world so how could a changeling form into something they don't even know of?" Hot dang I kind of felt like a lawyer at that moment, fighting my own case. This perplexed the mane six until Twilight said;
"We'll keep an eye on him; any strange activity will result in your immediate arrest and interrogation." Jeez, for ponies they were a bit ruthless. I nodded my head in agreement and added;
"Listen, back where I lived I always tried to help anyone I could. So while I look on a way back home I'm willing to prove myself and help anyway I can." Twilight shrugged and Rainbow's death glare lightened up a bit, showing that maybe she finally saw the truth in my words. Thank goodness. With that the sun was dropping, only half was visible over the horizon. Everyone left for their homes. I slung the pack over my back, and headed for town, until I was stopped by Twilight's voice.
"Uh Scotty..where are you going?" She asked, halfway in a walking stance, her eyes fixed on me.
"I was just going to go find a place to bunk. Why, need something?" I asked.
"Well seems kind of odd, seeing as you don't know where any of us lived." She said, eyeing me suspiciously.
"Yeah, you're right." I said "I don't." I shot her a smile and started walking again. I could tell a frown fell over her face as she walked home and I? Well I walked towards Ponyville, my new home for who knows how long.
As I walked through the town, all the doors were closed and not a single pony was stirring. I guess ponies go to bed early. I stopped at a deserted alley that had my name written all over it. I shuffled up to a wall and slid down it, tossing my pack into my lap. 'Ok' I thought to myself. 'Time to do a supplies check', I opened my pack to reveal I still had everything I packed in here. This all included a flashlight, (a smaller one seeing as I lost the flood light in the falling process, sorry dad) batteries, an extra set of clothes, my MLP related accessories I'd better keep those hidden, my- oh yes! My iPod with ear buds, and finally the lighter, matches, and snacks like some gummy worms, and peach rings (aww heck yes dem peach rings.). I took my ipod out and turned it on. It was at 100% battery, lady luck has shined down upon me today! I shuffled through my music as I popped my ear buds in and just put it on shuffle…..bad idea. The first song that popped up was: Lonely Day bye System of a Down. With me being quite lonely at the moment that song sure did hit home..hard.
I laid my pack against the wall and rested my head on it as I slowly drifted to sleep with tears dripping from my eyes. Sweet Dreams me….they sure weren't sweet…or dreams for that matter.
