Chapter 2 is here, yay! Thanks for your constructive criticism and praise.

I still don't own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

When I arrived at Ponyville, the streets were mostly deserted. I only saw the occasional pony walking around. I wandered around wondering who I could ask.

I guess I'll ask Fluttershy, I thought. Good a start as any.

Flying around for a bit, I soon found Fluttershy's house. I knocked on the door. Soon the door cracked open and Fluttershy's face was barely visible. "H-hello?" I was about to speak, but suddenly felt something sharp in my side. I looked there and saw a cat had scratched me.

This also led to the discovery that I didn't seem to have a cutie mark...

"No!" Fluttershy yelled. She spent a couple moments scolding and shooing away the cat, and a few more apologizing profusely, as though the whole ordeal were somehow her fault. It was so cute I nearly found myself smiling. Eventually, after she was satisfied with the amount of apologies, I inquired about the room.

The bed was satisfactory, and Fluttershy did reasonably well making sure I was content. Angel was a bit suspicious though. I didn't blame him; some random colt with no cutie mark never seen in town before showing up at sunset asking to stay the night. Fluttershy had kindly prepared me a tasty breakfast in the morning, and after giving her my thanks I was back outside, wondering what to do next. I wandered around for a while, returning the occasional nod or wave from some ponies, until I found myself in front of Twilight's library.

Maybe she'll know what to do, I thought to myself. I knocked on the door. Within a few moments it opened and the lavender unicorn was standing in front of me.

"Good morn-" she began, but halted abruptly. She stared at me and her horn began to glow. I became slightly uncomfortable. "Is something wrong?" I asked.

Without another word she grabbed me and dragged me inside, slamming the door behind her, and leaned in uncomfortably close, as though she were about to try to shove me over. "That's very weird," she muttered to herself, rubbing her chin.

I began to grow anxious. "What?"

"Your field," she replied. "There's a very strange field of magic around your body. I've never seen anything like that before... And you don't even seem to have a cutie mark."

Okay, now I was beginning to get freaked out.

Suddenly her eyes widened and her horn stopped glowing. "Oh! Sorry, I got distracted... I'm just really interested in that magic field around you."

"Er, yeah, I kinda guessed that."

"Say, would you mind if I studied it here for a while?"

"Um. Sure, I guess."

Great. One day in Equestria and I've already become a test subject.

The next few hours were a blur of books, potions, magic, and talk about all three that I barely understood at all. Twilight was becoming visibly frustrated.

"Ugh, this isn't getting anywhere!" she exclaimed. "I need to understand this damn thing..." she muttered. Sighing, she sank into a seat.

"Don't sweat it, Twi," I replied. "I don't really get it either. I-" but then I stopped herself. As far as I knew, no one here knew humans existed. And she might not even believe my story. Plus we didn't know each other all that well, and I wasn't ready to reveal something like that yet. Luckily, she didn't press the issue. Then she gasped and her eyes widened, as if she just realized something. "Oh, I'm sorry! I've kept you here so long.."

"It's alright."

"Plus I never got your name."

"James."

"Huh, I've never heard of a pony with a name like that before."

"Well...you could say I'm not from around here. Anyway, I think I should go now."

Twilight opened her mouth to say something, but stopped herself. "Alright," she said. "Come by again sometime, okay?"

"Er, yeah. See ya."

I left the house with even more questions formed and none answered. It looked like if it was even possible to figure any of this out, I was gonna have a hell of a time doing so.

There's chpt. 2 for ya! Hope ye enjoyed that!
