Hello everypony, I'm sorry for my lack of updating these past few weeks. I've had some things delaying me, the major one was trying to get a proper writing program for my tablet. Besides that I also had to deal with midterms. (Passed them…. Barely)

Now enough about the setbacks, I wanted to get onto something important before we begin. I, over the next several chapters, will be introducing some oc's. Now two belong to other people, while the third belongs to me. I would also ask, if anyone is interested, if you guys would make fanart of zach and the other oc's.

When they are introduced I will give them a full description but, for now I will give you a better visual for Zach.

Height-5'10

Size-large

Hair-short, very curly, brown and red

Eyes- dark brown

Details- has glasses, likes to cook and grow plants, knows how to use a blacksmith forge (from books), spends free time in strange locations reading alone, loves animals, has a scar on his back from being burned by others as a child.

Sorry for the long note but wanted to get everything out of the way, hope you enjoy.

Chapter 3

I wake up to the sunlight streaming through the window. I can smell fluttershy making breakfast.

Mmmm, I do believe I smell pancakes. "Fluttershy, you know you don't have to make breakfast for us, I can do that."

She just looks over to me with her little smile "No, I'm used to being up early to feed the animals, so it's no trouble to make something for us."

I just can't argue with that face, so I decide if she is going to be making breakfast then I may as well take a shower in the meantime.

I head upstairs to the bathroom, I've grown used to the smell of fluttershy's cottage, like fresh fruit and budding flowers.

I disrobe and stretch, listening to the crack of my joints. I do appreciate fluttershy's hospitality but, I wish she had a bed my size.

I step in and turn on the hot water, letting my body relax under its steaming flow. I feel I could fall asleep if I let myself relax too much.

As I step out I realize that I don't have any clean clothes to wear. "I guess this will have to do for now." I shrug on my old clothes noticing the slight must clinging to them.

I hear fluttershy setting the table as I head downstairs. "Hey Flutter, what did you make? "

"Pancakes with strawberries, I didn't want to make us the same thing as me because you said flowers can make you sick."

"Thank you Flutter, trust me this will be just fine. Now when I go out today who should I go to see about picking up food I need?"

"Well you can ask Applejack about that. She knows her way around the market and can probably show you where to look."

"Ok I'll make sure to go see her, but I need to find your friend Rarity first so I can get new clothes."

At least flutter told me what her friends look like so I know who I'm looking for.

"See you later Flutter, I have ponies to see." I walked out the front door and went up the road towards Ponyville.

After about forty five minutes I could see buildings just ahead. I saw what I believe were small fillies playing near a hill.

I was taking in my surroundings, everything seemed just as vivid as the forest I arrived in. I began to hear frantic screaming, I believe it's coming from those fillies.

I can now see one of them is missing, I run over to the two others, who look at me questioningly as I approach. "What's wrong?"

"Sweetiebell is stuck under that wagon." They say together. I look to the wagon and see that the front two wheels have broken, pinning the filly underneath.

"I'll get you out of there in no time. Now when I lift I need you both to pull her out ok?" they both nod as I lay down on my back bracing my arms against the wood.

"On three, one…two…three!" I push up as hard as I can, giving the two girls enough room to pull out their friend.

This isn't good, she's unconscious. "Can you two bring me to her home?" The two fillies begin running off as I try my best to follow.

"So who are you two, if you don't mind me asking." The yellow one with the bow and red hair responds " I'm Applebloom and this is Scootaloo." She points to the small orange-brown Pegasus.

"Well I'm Zachary, and you said this little one is called Sweetiebell right?" she looks rather similar to how Flutter described Rarity, her sister maybe?

We made it to what looks like a large clothing store, with horse shaped mannequins displaying expensive looking clothing in the windows.

Then this must be the carousel boutique Flutter told me about.

I enter rather hastily, making a bit of a racket with the doors. "Hold on please, no need to be rude." I hear a sophisticated woman's voice from the other room.

"Hello and welcome to…" Rarity looks around the room, taking in the situation. She notices Sweetiebell in my hands "What happened?"

The two fillies start rambling off the story faster than I can understand; apparently Rarity is used to this because she turns to me when they are finished.

"Well I don't know who you are but you saved my sister and I am truly grateful you were there. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well as it just so happens Miss. Rarity I am in need of new clothing. Fluttershy told me you were the one to see when I had clothing trouble."

"Well if you would please come back tomorrow I can take your measurements and begin my work, I must now attend to Sweetiebell."

"Ok, that is perfectly understandable; I will see you tomorrow then." I headed out the door after saying goodbye to the two fillies, knowing that my clothing problem would be solved.

(Skip ahead about six hours- current time 8 pm)

Well today was hectic, after I left Rarity's place I went to see applejack, she helped me grasp the concept of bits and showed me the stalls I would need to visit once I had a job.

I got bum rushed (not like that) by a small rainbow and cyan Pegasus called Rainbowdash, who then began to yell at me for getting in the way. I was able to have a pleasant conversation with her after she calmed down though.

I was questioned by a small green mare with an instrument showing on her flank. Then suffered the same process ten times over when I got to meet twilight, though she was a pleasant conversationalist.

"Well I'm finally here." After seeing everyone else I was told to go to sugarcube corner (had to get directions) and meet pinkie pie. I guess because she's busy during the day?

I step in and notice the lights are off. "Is anypony here?" the lights quickly flick on blinding me, when my vision returns I see all the ponies I met today standing around me, even some I haven't met. They shout out "Surprise!" What is going on?

Yep I'm gonna end it there. I figured the next chapter should be the party and him meeting some other ponies, including two of the three oc's.

Everyone have a good week and may the harmony always be with you.

(p.s. sorry about the length, I'm on a time limit and I really wanted to make a chapter today.)
