Chapter 2: Welcome to Equestria!

The bright light picked them up from their apartment room, and in a few short seconds, the man found himself in the air falling. As he screamed he hit the ground with a heavy thud. He was about to get up, but something else landed right on his back. Gypsy, as shaky as she was from the drop, soon walked off and nudged her master's arm to try to help him up.

"That hurt like a Mother-" was all he said as he looked around. He saw plenty of ponies staring right back. the area was a in the middle of a magnificent town, with ponies everywhere he looked. He started at Gypsy, then at them.

"Where the hell...?" He said as he looked in every direction.. He started to get freaked out, but really lost it when he heard a pony scream. At that instance every pony there scream their little heads off. The man grew scared and screamed himself, and tried to run towards a safe path where there wasn't any pony, but then he felt something hard collide with him, he ran into a building and fell down, and with the collision, a lone potted plant on a window sill fell right down on his head as he tried to get up. The crash was so loud the ponies stopped and looked at the downed being.

"It's another human..." one filly said after a long silence. They started to poke him and murmur. Suddenly a growl was heard from behind them. Gypsy ran towards her downed friend and growled a little more to warn them to back off. Each of the ponies slowly backed away, scared that it would bite. Gypsy whined a little towards her knocked out friend and tried to pick him up, but to no avail.

"E-Excuse me, pardon me..." said a soft and heavenly voice. From out of the crowd came a light pink-haired pony. This pony had a long pink mane flowing as she floated on her little wings. Her coat was a Light-Yellowish hue, and a marking indicating butterflies was on her flank. Even the way she silently flew towards the human rang with grace and delicacy.

"Oh my you poor thing..." she said softly as she neared the man.

Gypsy started to growl once more, but the pony didn't flinch.

"Oh, Little dog, I'm not going to hurt him, i want to help the poor thing..." She said towards the dog. The dog sat down and whimpered, asking her to help him up. The Pegasus only smiled and nodded, knowing what the puppy was trying to say.

As hard as she could, she used her body's weight to push the human to a sitting position. After that, she bit the collar of the man's shirt. and with Gypsy tugging as well, they were successful at moving him. little by little, they moved him towards the mare's little hill. She opened the door and tugged with all her might until he was on the couch in the middle of the room they dragged him into. "There we go." She smiled. "I need to get the other girls." She looked at Gypsy, who was lying right next to her master. "Now if you could, little dog, I'm going to get some of my friends, please stay here, if that's alright..." She trailed off as she saw the dog sleeping. "Awww..." She cooed as she petted its head. She then went to find her friends...

The young pony flew over to a tree house in the middle of the town. Using her hoof, she knocked, and the door opened revealing a small dragon with purple scales. "Pardon me, Spike, but do you know where Twilight Sparkle is, by any chance? It's um...kind of important..."

"She's in her study room, I'll get her.", was all he said with a smile before running off and leaving the young pony looking after herself outside. The Pegasus then floated inside to wait for Twilight Sparkle. A few moments later, a purple unicorn stood by the end of the stairs with a confused look.

"What's going on, Fluttershy? I wasn't expecting company."

The Pegasus cleared her little throat before speaking. "Well, um...there's a human in Ponyville once again, and I was wondering if you could help me with it, if it's not too much trouble..."

"Another human?" Twilight Sparkle looked with surprise. "What is it doing in Ponyville?"

Fluttershy only frowned. "I have no clue, but I found it with a bump on its head, and a dog guarding it. I brought it back to my home. I need to get the others, too...Maybe they can help."

Twilight Sparkle nodded. "We should also bring Josh into the picture, perhaps they know each other?"

Spike walked in with a single gem he was munching on, its green color gleaming even as the dragon munched on it. "Maybe we should ask Princess Celestia, she might know something, Twilight."

She only shook her head. "I don't think right now is a good time, she's too busy with her duties to be bothered. When we learn more, I'll send her a message."

Spike nodded. "Then why don't we go see it! We'll find every pony and tell them the news!"

The two ponies agreed, and were off. They told the news to their other friends, and Rainbow Dash was last. Up in a cloud home of her own, Rainbow Dash had been living with a human that was known as Joshua James Rocket.

He was a 16 year old boy with hazel eyes, black hair that came down to his neck, having since his arrival in Ponyville, and a special pair of retractable wings as white as glistening snow. He was wearing a black jacket that was covering a red shirt, a set of sapphires along its back to show it off. He was also wearing black shorts, which were torn at the knees, as his legs were covered in burn scars and a grotesque indentation on his kneecaps slowly healing over. His last article of clothing were black sandals with some diamonds on the straps. A majority of the clothes had been made special for him by another one of their friends.

Spike ran up towards the floating household, and yelled for Rainbow Dash. As soon as Rainbow Dash opened her door and looked down, Spike told of the news. "Josh! get out here! Another Human arrived!"

Rainbow Dash looked up to see the boy and his Meowth looking at her in shock.

"Another? Where? I need to see!" Josh insisted. Rainbow Dash told him of the location, and the three with Spike dashed off towards Fluttershy's Animal Sanctuary.

Time passed by, and the man woke up to see his dog wagging her tail by his side. With a groggy look, he smiled and patted her head. "Heyah, girl...glad that dream's over-"

That was all he could say until he looked around to see totally different decor around him. "Where are we...?"

He took a second look and saw the mane six standing by his side along with Spike, Meowth, and Josh staring at him. The pink one bounced right into his view and giggled.

"Morning, sleepyhead!" She said in a happy tone.

He screamed once more as everyone flinched. The man tried to back up, but hit a wall, and above him were various picture frames about to fall on his head. One fell, but one of the ponies caught it before it hit his already-hurt cranium. The pony spoke in a southern accent.

"Whoa, big fellah! Don't wanna give yourself another blow to the ol' noggin!" She put the picture back and the man slowly got back on the couch.

"What the hell is going on..." He asked in a shaky tone.

"Heh, that's a fine thank you for ya.." the cowpony spoke up, a little annoyed by the abruptness, although at the same time she somewhat expected this sort of reaction.

"whatever..." he said as he looked around. "Who..who are you...?" He asked.

Twilight Sparkle walked forward. "Allow me to welcome you to Equestria, Kingdom of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. You are in Ponyville, one of the main capitals. I'm Twilight Sparkle, Celestia's Student." She looked over at Pinkie Pie as she bounced around.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, and Oooh! You're new here, I need to throw a party! It's gonna be a big party with hats and confetti and cake!" She babbled as she giggled at the thought.

The Cowpony walked up next. "Howdy there! Name's Applejack! Pleased ta Meet 'cha! I run Sweet Apple Acres, The Best Apple Farm in all of Equestria! We sell the best Apples you've ever eaten!

The Rainbow-maned one flew right over. "Hi! I'm Rainbow Dash! Best Flier in all of Cloudsdale! I'm gonna join the wonderbolts one day! I can do all sorts of tricks! Like the Patented Sonic Rainboom!" She said proudly as she zoomed around in the air.

Fluttershy flew over slowly. "I'm...I'm Fluttershy..." She said softly. "Come again?" The Man Asked. " I'm...Fluttershy..." She said a bit louder. "I'm not gonna hurt ya, you know." He said reassuringly. Fluttershy smiled a bit. "My Name is Fluttershy. I tend all the animals of Ponyville...um...I found you hit your head...and I wanted to tend you for a bit...if that's ok..." She kept looking at the man's head bump. "Of course it is. thank you for helping me outta that situation there. I would've caused a massive panic!" Fluttershy smiled a bit more with a hinted pink on her cheeks. "You're welcome, sir..."

As Soon as she was done, a white unicorn with a amazing purple tamed mane trotted to him. "My name is Rarity, I run a clothing shop in which I can make the most dashing clothes in Equestria! and Darling, you need some newer clothing! Perhaps you'll see me later for a quick measure?" She looked at him as he looked at his clothes. "Well, I do need some extra clothing..." "It's Settled then!" Rarity smiled. "I'm going to make you shine, Sweetie!" He chuckled at the comment and then looking at the last of the group. Spike walked up first.

"I'm Spike! Twilight Sparkle's Assistant. I usually pal around with her to write notes for Princess Celestia. I'm always around to get her outta trouble." He said as he tried to sound good. but Twilight only rolled her eyes while giggling softly.

The cat Pokemon waved at him. "Meowth's the Name, and Pokemon's my game! I'm Josh's equivalent to Spike, hee hee." he said with a cat-like smile.

"Wait, Josh...you mean Josh Rocket?"

"Yea, why?"

He looked over and laughed. "Joshua! Long time, no see, little friend!"

"Friend?" Was all he heard from every pony as he stomped with his heavy legs to his friend.

"A good online contact of mine for a few years! We've talked for so long, I was always wondering how we would meet!" He smiled and then noticed the wings. "What are these?" He said as he touched one, the wing retracted a bit as Josh chuckled.

"Princess Luna helped me with making these, so I could live with Rainbow Dash, she even helped me and Meowth be together!"

He smiled wide. "I think I get it now, I remember all of you!" The man said. "You're the elements of Harmony!" "You know of us?" Twilight Sparkle asked confused. "It's a long story..." He said scratching his head. "I might as well tell you who I am..." He said.

"My name, is Graham. My friends have given me the nickname DragonHeart, because of my fierceness in combat. I love fighting, it's my pastime, as you would say. I may look big and strong, but I'm kind once you get to know me. I'm 20 years old. about 4 years older than Josh here in human years. " He said.

"Please to meet you, Graham!" Rainbow Dash said while smiling.

"Thanks for the introduction guys, I'm sorry I was startled and all. I'm just trying to get used to the drastic change. Oh! Gypsy!" The dog ran right over and jump up to see him as he laughed. "This is my faithful companion, Gypsy. I found her long ago getting beat up by other people, and I stepped in to back them off. ever since, she's been at my side for as long as I can remember."

The man and the others started talking a bit and one of them piped up. "Why don't we show you around?" Pinkie said while bouncing around.

"Well, what the hell, I'm game." Graham said as the others cheered.

"Quite the friendly folk, Josh, cant believe I didn't come here sooner!" Graham nudged his shoulder. "By the way, you need to tell me what you're doing here later. Right now, I guess I'll check out Ponyville with you guys." He smiled as Pinkie Pie lead the way...

Graham was on his way to becoming happy for once in his life...
