After the party was over, I decided to head to the library. Twilight said she was going to meet me there once she was gone running some errands. I walked into the library. Honestly, I didn't even know ponies read. I walked over to a huge shelf and decided to at least see what they read about. It was typical books, like you would see where I'm from. Well, as in genre. To name a few books, I saw Daring Do, Magical Potions for Dummies. I giggled a bit at that, and set it back into its place. I heard a noise, and looked over to see a dragon coming down the stairs. A DRAGON.
"AH!" I yelped and fell onto my rump, managing to squirm back a bit. The dragon was small, but was still a dragon!
"Oh! Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," The dragon said, coming towards me.
"STAY BACK!" I yelled grabbing a book with my two front hooves, and pointing it towards him. Some defensive weapon, I know, but it was all I could grab!
"A book, really?" He said as if he weren't impressed one bit. "I'm not going to hurt you. I promise!" he said with a friendly smile, and held out a hand to help me up.
I put my hoof onto his hand, and he helped me up.
"Thanks..." I said to him, awkwardly.
He introduced himself, "I'm Spike! Twilight's assistant!"
"Oh, you know Twilight! I'm Kate! I'm new here, you probably already knew that though. Twilight said I could stay here, for a while, as I have no place to live." I said feeling more comfortable than I had a minute ago, I held out a hoof for him to shake. He shook it, and we started talking about Ponyville.
"So do you like Ponyville so far? How long have you been here?" He asked me, sounding excited.
"Well, um it's really nice! I love it, and I have been here for, maybe half of a day?" I said, hoping not to splurt out that I don't even know how I got here, because then I'll be attacked with so many questions. Or, at least that's what I was expecting if I were to say I didn't know.
"Why did you decide to come here? Not saying you shouldn't have! It's a great place!" He hesitated, and I could see why. He didn't want to scare me off if there wasn't anything to be scared of!
"Well, you see I-…" I was cut off to see that Twilight had entered. Thank goodness!
"Oh hi, Twilight!" Spike ran to her, helping with some bags she was carrying.
"I see you've already met Kate!" She said happily carrying the bags Spike hadn't taken, but with magic!
"You… you have magic?" I asked, eyes wide, and definitely shocked!
"Well, yeah! I am a unicorn." She said pointing to her horn.
"That's amazing! It's just, where I come from, there is no magic!" I said, staring at the bags floating in some kind of purple sparkly mist.
"No magic? Well, I would like to hear about where you came from! You said you just somehow ended up in Equestria, didn't you?" She asked, setting the bags down onto a table in the middle of the Library.
"Yeah, and I wasn't a pony before." I said, looking down at my hooves.
"You weren't a pony? What were you?" Twilight asked, picking up some books from the shelves behind me.
"Well… I was a human, of course!" I said, thinking of what other possibilities I could have ended up as. What if I ended up in the sea, and became a mermaid? As if that were possible! Well… neither is being a pony. Heh.
"A human? I thought those were just mythical creatures!" She said, using her magic floating more than five books around her and flipping the pages quickly.
"Well, they definitely aren't…" I replied, thinking of what could exist that humans had no idea of, whatsoever. Talking ponies was probably one of those, and now I'm a talking pony!
"Do you remember how you even got here?" she said, still flipping through the pages.
"Not at all! Last thing I remember was going to sleep, then all of the sudden waking up in a field next to Applejacks farm." I said, still trying to remember if there was anything, even the slightest memory of ending up here. Nope, nothing.
"That's just, so odd… well, it's getting pretty late, guess we should hit the ha-…" She was interrupted when all of the sudden, Spike burped up a scroll.
"A letter from Princess Celestia!" Twilight gasped, immediately grabbing the scroll with her magic and unfolding the ribbon around it. Her eyes went back and forth down the paper.
"She's coming tomorrow to meet, YOU, Kate!" she exclaimed, folding up the paper and setting it on the table.
I was shocked, and confused at the same time… I didn't understand, who was Princess Celestia? "Who is Princess Celestia? Why does she want to meet me? How does she even know me? What?" I gasped, asking all of these questions.
"Princess Celestia is, well… the Princess of all Equestria! She is also my teacher for magic." She said, still kind of shocked she was coming on such short notice. "I don't know how she knows you, and we already have SO much to do!" she started breathing heavily, and loudly.
"What? Why? Twilight, stay with me!" I ran to her and started shaking her.
"Sorry, sorry! Everything has to be PERFECT!" she said loudly, putting the books away into the shelves, and started straightening everything up, even if it all looked perfectly fine.
"Twilight! Calm down, we still have tomorrow to get ready." I said, hopefully calming her down a bit. Boy, was I wrong…
Is Twilight going to go crazy?!
