Right, as the story progresses I as much as anypony am looking forward to it getting down on paper, 2 more chapters at this rate but after there might be a bit a slow down, for 3 days, I have a life to attend to anyways, I think The Whole mane cast might be a bit tricky to do, so if you guys have any preference, I might exclude one or two (fluttershy is starting to look like a no-go), but don't rush it by voting after this chapter, Mike's just getting started.

Chapter 4: Farmer Brown

Place, everfree/sweet apple acres border.

Mike woke up, it had been two weeks since his releasing of the purple horse, who had returned on a very regular basis to get a new book, it was quite ridiculous, Twilight (she told him his name at the third book) was relentless, how can one possibly read a 500 page, A3 small font book in two days? Regardless, Mike started suffering from insomnia 2 days after the release, about the time twilight "you can't name someone like that, it objectifies them" he thought upon hearing the name, was collecting her second book. His sleep was intermittently disturbed by dreams of sentient animals of every calibre, even the chicken he killed a while back. Speaking of chickens, he found two more, and (after checking one is male, one female) decided to use them for eggs, and more chickens. But I digress. His acceptance of talking ponies with arse tattoos (I mean come on, a talking equine is fucked up enough, thanks) was something still not entirely weaned on him throughout the last fortnight, and he still didn't find it comfortable. His magic was improving, now he could perform trivial tasks like tilling the ground, with thought. He decided to stop, because he preferred work.

For food, an agreement was made between him and twilight of one: disclosure, and two: in exchange for books, twilight gave him a basket of bright red fruit that was for all intents and purposes, an apple (apples are earth fruit remember), and while the 'apples' were actually the tastiest he had ever had, having a smooth juiciness about them, but also possessing a nice apply kick that tingled the throat, they weren't a permanent solution. He had to resort to foraging while his 'farm' got going, which brings us to the current scene. Mike continued walking through the woods, He Jokingly called them Mordor, (As one cannot simply walk here from earth) hoping he would find something like a big animal, or a fruit plant of some sort. He walked on for about 10 Minutes, listening to Coldplay, every teardrop is a waterfall on his iPod shuffle, dismaying at the odd rotten thing, until he brushed back a few branches revealing something extraordinary, he stopped listening to his iPod and stared at the view, acres and acres of 'apples' he was ecstatic, but it looked like an orchard, so he decided to find the farmer, and discuss buying some of them.

Meanwhile, in a small house not too deep inside everfree, fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were talking about, well, pegasi matters. "It's gonna be awesome! And my being there will make it 20% cooler" finished dash, raving about another sporting event she was entering. " w-well that sounds like fun Dash, but I need to take extra care of the hens, s-something's been taking them" Rainbow had a look of disgust on her face, one could tell what was going to happen. "What? Who? Tell me and i'll give 'em a lesson or two about hen-napping! Rainbow style!" "oh no, you don't need to do that da- she was cut short by The headstrong mare propelling herself into the air, on her way to inform applejack and twilight about this.

Back on sweet apple acres, a large red stallion chewed a thistle, laying in the comforting shade of an apple tree. Big 'Mac' Macintosh always enjoyed these quaint periods before the apple bucking season, where he could just laze underneath a tree and... that's it actually. He heard a close rustling of the dirt and peeled his eye open slightly, and saw an odd two-legged creature sit down beside him. At first he took no notice, but when it said "hello there, if you talk, do you own this farm?" Mac was taken completely by surprise, but he didn't show it, and gave a calm "eeyup" as a reply. "ooh, cowboy and everything, if that's a yes, can I buy some apples?" said mike in a fairly lazed voice as he slowly laid down beside the horse, awaiting a reply. Mac took the cowpony reference at good heart, but it was a stranger monkey "why yer be wantin' to know?" Mike knew what a Texan was like, so he just played it as straight as he could. "You seem like a casual guy, right? I'm experiencing a bit of a food problem, and apples are the only solution I've found thus far, I intend to take some, so you can talk to me about it, or I'll take some, your call" Mac instantly took a liking to this thing, he had bravado, something hard to find in ponyville, "names Big Macintosh, call me Mac, an' I think we could arrange summit" he said, holding out his hoof to the stranger. "I'm Mike, and thanks" they started discussing apples, and socializing, something hard to do with Big Mac.

Twilight was reading her latest book of mike's, it was the second book she had read on 'European' history, she found it amazing, but tragic, humanity was truly a wondrous thing, but capable of so much death and evil... KNOCK! KNOCK! Twilight opened the door to an angry looking applejack and Rainbow dash "Hi guys what you up to?" she asked, unaware of the cause of their anger. "twilight, Have yer heard of what's been happening with fluttershy's hens?"

"no, why?"

"I was talking to her, and something in the forest's been stealing her hens"

"so we came here, cus yer the one wit' the book smarts an' stuff, maybe yer could tell us what could have done it?"

"Oh shi- Mike!" Twilight thought, she hastily thought up a surprisingly valid excuse. "Well, if it's something that eats meat, you can't really blame it can you?" As usual, however, the two headstrong ponies refused to listen to reason. "whatever twilight, i'm gonna go teach it a lesson!"

"yeah, twilight, what's with you, pony? I'll look around everfree, dash" and with that, the two left. Twilight was worried, she knew that in weight to strength, a human is stronger than a pony, and he is easily twice as big as either of them. She couldn't do much about it though, so she wrote a letter:

Dear princess Celestia, I regret that this letter is not to inform you about the magic of friendship, but to notify you of a matter of concern. Throughout the past three weeks, I have been contacting an individual of a species not indigenous to Equestria, he is a human called Mike, and... she wrote the remainder in fine detail, describing him to great length. With a call of spike's name, and a dragon's breath, the letter was gone.

Mike was heading back home, having found a like-minded male pony he could talk to easily, and the first of many baskets of apples he would exchange with Mac, he ran into a clear area, the presence of a seemingly-hollowed out tree, and a beautiful pink maned yellow pony standing before it, watering some flowers, Mike couldn't help but notice her, her WINGS! "Pegasi too" Jesus it never ends does it" He thought, pondering what to do next.

Okay guys, 4th chapter for you here, Hope you liked it, and review if there's anything you didn't like, i couldn't resist putting Big Mac in the story, but it won't become yaoi (just aheads-up).
