And we're back! Wow, I am so surprised at how this story was received, my inbox was full of messages telling me about favorite story alerts, reviews and all that stuff. I have to say, thanks for the support. And I guess as a gift, you can say im doing two chapters tonight. I had originally written out the third chapter last night, but when I woke up this morning, I decided I wasn't going to do it till chapter 4. So, I thought it up during school, and wrote it. And don't worry, I will get longer chapters as the story progresses, I hope.
I woke up full of enthusiasm, ready for my first full day. Me and Rainbow was gonna hang out, I was going to go to Sugarcube Corner, like I promised to Pinkie. Then I was going to bring some of my items that I had to Twilight's Library, for her to look at. I got dressed, threw on a dark red hoodie, grabbed my earphones and MP3, and walked out the door, bright and early.
...Or perhaps I was too early, because when I looked around, the sun just began to rise, and there was nopony in sight. I smiled to myself. "Leave it to me to be too enthusiastic, and get up waay early. I'm surprised, I'm usually the one to sleep in." I mused, as I walked back inside, laughing at myself.
About a couple hours later, I heard a knock on my door. "It's open!" I shouted, as Rainbow Dash walked in. "Hey Nathan..." She said to me, smiling. Obviously she had gotten up a bit early, as she still looked tired. "So, you ready for today?" She asked me, as I stood up.
"Yup!" I said, smiling back at Rainbow Dash. "Had myself all ready for today, seems I wont be bored at least." I added, as me and her headed out. "So, whatch'ya gonna show me?" I asked her, as Rainbow Dash flew up. "Oh..just a few tricks I know." She said, as she took off, a rainbow streak flying behind her. She did some basic moves, like barrel rolls, flips, and some other stuff. She came back down after she was finished, looking not as tired as she was earlier. I looked at her and smiled. "That was pretty cool." I said, with an approving look.
"Thanks..." Rainbow Said, smiling. "Those weren't my best tricks though. My best tricks may be too cool for you." She said to me, still smiling. "So cool in fact, you might faint." She added, laughing.
"Yeah yeah, laugh it up Rainbow. It was a normal reaction, I was in someplace I didn't know at the time, so I blacked out." I said, making a small pout face. This made Dash laugh even more.
"Hahaha, you're funny." She said, wiping at her eyes. Then she smiled and lightly punched my arm. "Besides, you know I'm only kidding." She told me, as we continued to walk some more.
"Yeah, I know. But I'll have you know, its kind of embarrassing." I said, my face turning slightly red. "Especially when you try to make friends with people you don't really know, well...Ponies in your case." I added.
"Ha, I bet." She said, then we both laughed. I noticed we was getting closer to Ponyville.
"Rainbow Dash, mind if I ask you something?" I asked her.
"Sure, go ahead." She answered. "Oh, and you can just call me Dash, that's what my friends call me, unless your Pinkie. She calls me Dashie, and so far she is the only exception to the usage of that name." She added.
"Okay, anyways Dash. I want to know, what's it like to fly like you can?" I asked her.
Dash looked to me. "Well, obviously its very cool. Being able to fly like me, and go at super fast speeds...its what I like to do. Although its hard to explain how it feels..." She told me. "Unless your a Pegasus like me." She added, her hint of boasting in her tone.
"Yeah, I get what your saying." I said to her.
"So Nathan, its my turn to ask you something..." She said to me.
"Okay...oh, and you can just call me Nate." I said, with a smile.
"Since ya know, you're not a pony...what do you eat?" She asked me.
"Uh...oh...well, you see. My species isn't vegetarian..." I began. Dash was looking at me with a weird face. "As in, we don't eat vegetables, well stuff like you do. We don't eat flowers or hay, we eat carrots, lettuce, celery...and..." I hesitated. "...meat." I finally said. Rainbow stopped and landed on the ground.
"Woah woah woah...Meat?" She asked. "As in like...animals?" She asked, looks of worry coming from her.
"Well, yes. But really, its things like Livestock. Cows, chicken, pigs..." I said to her. "And don't worry, we do NOT eat pony." I said, reassuringly.
"Uh huh..." Rainbow said, unsure. "I'm serious Dash, I would never eat anypony..." I said to her. She nodded.
"I believe you, but...what are you gonna eat since your here? I mean, with so many food choices you guys have, I'd get bored of just Apples, Carrots, and Celery, which is all we have here that you would be able to eat" She said to me, walking again.
"Well, I'm not sure. I have chips and stuff in my house pantry, but those will only last like, a week or two." I said, now realizing what she was really worried about.
"Hmm, this may become a complication..." I said, getting a nod in agreement from Dash.
Dash flapped her wings, flying up towards me. "I'm sure we will figure this out..in the mean time, we need to get to Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie is expecting us." Rainbow Dash said, smiling at me.
–
"Alright, lets go." I said, walking towards Sugarcube Corner the minute we hit town.
I should have known what was gonna happen next, because when I walked into the building, it was dark. Then I remembered exactly what Pinkie was known for. The light were then flipped, and I heard a big 'SUPRISE' come from the room, but I mostly heard pinkie, who was jumping in front of me.
"Hey Nathan, guess what? Its your Surprise 'Welcome to Ponyville' Party! Planned by me of course...oh and the author!" Pinkie said, eyes full of excitement.
"Author...what?" I asked, looking to Pinkie.
"Oh you know, Author! A person who writes stories, makes people talk, stuff like that!" Pinkie said, looking like she knew what she was saying.
"Again...Author?" I asked again, still clueless.
"Author! Writer, you know...stories like My Little Dashie, or the numerous fanfics made, or even cupc..." She stopped before she finished. "Forget what I said about cupcak..." She stopped again. "Oh, just forget what I last said!" She said Me and Dash exchanged looks. "So anyways, enjoy your party!" Pinkie said, as she hopped away like nothing happened.
"...Pinkie, you are SO random!" Rainbow Dash said, smiling. "Come on Nate, there's a party just for you!" She said, motioning me over towards the room.
I walked around, talking with Ponies and having a good time. The music definitely wasn't what I would listen to, but what could I say. This was a totally different culture. I was surprised that the ponies even talked with me. I do admit I noticed some being taken back at how tall I was, but that didn't stop them from getting to know me some.
After a while, I found the six ponies who I actually knew in this party, and walked over to them. They all saw me coming and said 'Hey Nathan'.
"Hey guys...gals...ponies, uh.." I began, getting a laugh from the group. "So, I guess I want to thank you all for this wonderful party." I said.
"Ah, it aint nothin'" Applejack said. "It was all Pinkie's idea, afterall." She said, pointing to Pinkie.
"Yes, and I'm truly grateful for it." I said. Pinkie ran up and gave me a hug. "Oh it was nothing, I do it for any new pony who comes to town, whether it is another Pony or someone different." Pinkie Pie said to me.
"Oh...um...Nathan. Twilight...uh...here has something...for you." Fluttershy said, as quiet as she could be. I looked to Twilight, in which she nodded.
"Yes, Fluttershy is right, I do. I wrote Princess Celestia yesterday about you, and she found your story quite interesting. She said she would come meet you personally, but she was busy with her royal duties." Twilight told me. "She did mention however, she was able to get you citizenship for Ponyville, in which you can use whenever your here, or in Equestria." Twilight added.
"Well, I'm most definitely grateful for her doing that. When she does come to meet me personally, I'll be sure to thank her." I said, Twilight nodding in approval.
"So, lets Party until we drop!" I said, getting a good cheer as a agreement from the party ponies.
–
After about another two hours, the party died down, mostly everyone left. It was just Me and the other 6 Ponies. We had talked mostly the whole party, and I showed Twilight the items I had brought with me, like I said I would. I had my MP3, my Cell Phone, and a couple other small electronic devices. Twilight was amazed at all of them, and said she couldn't wait to see what else I had. I yawned and told her 'Maybe another day' which she nodded to, in agreement.
"Well, I should be heading back to my house..." I said, glancing at the time 7:00 PM. Most of the ponies looked saddened when I said that, but said goodbye. I grabbed me one last cup of Pinkie's Punch, drank it and began to walk home.
Rainbow was following me home, like she did last night. So we talked some on the way to my house.
"So Dash, is your house close to mine?" I asked her.
"Yeah, its not that far from me, so were kinda neighbors." She said to me, stopping in front of my house.
"So, we gonna hang out again tomorrow?" I asked her
"Well, I have some weather runs to do tomorrow, so I guess we will see." She said, glancing at the ground.
"Alright then..." I answered, walking to my house.
"Well...Goodnight!" Rainbow Dash called out to me.
"Yeah, Goodnight" I called back, then she flew off. I walked inside, smiling to myself. As a Brony, Rainbow Dash was my most favorite character, next to Pinkie Pie. So when she told me Goodnight, it had made my, well...Night. I sat down and messed with my laptop. Somehow I had internet, so I was able to use it. I turned on my TV and saw that it worked too, although it was a week late. "I guess TV is slow in Equestria.." I said, as I turned to USA, watching the weekly repeats they do of past NCIS shows.
The last thing I remember that night was turning the TV off and falling asleep on my couch, which wasn't the most comfortable in the world. When I fell asleep, I didn't remember much that had happened, because when I wake up the next morning, I will be something totally different than my usual self.
Aaaaannnd THATS it! Thanks for reading, and stay tuned, Chapter 4 will be coming later on tonight. Im gonna give time for this one to get comfortable before I add the next one. So till then...PEACE!
