I jump back in shock and quickly turn around, my face meeting a fluffy pink pony which could only be known as-
"Pinkie Pie?" I ask to the pink bouncing pony infront of me, her mane lightly flowing up and down as she hops in place.
"Yuppsies! Im Pinkie Pie! Who are you? Are you new in town? How long have you been here? Do you like parties? I love parties! Especially ones with cake and ice cream and-"
I place a hand over her mouth to stop her talking and I chuckle breifly before speaking.
"Yes, I know it's you, Pinkie. I'm Joshua and, clearly, i'm not from around here."

After I try to explain everything, such as where I came from and how i'm not a pony, Pinkie kept interrupting so that I could barely manage to get out three words before she asked another question or tried to persuade me to let her throw a party, which I constantly denied.
"Aww, come oooooooon! It'll be super-duper fun and we can have cake and music and cookies and games like pin-the-tail-on-the-pony and..."
I proceed to sigh and look at her with a blank expression.
I never really was into parties or anything like that, mostly because I was never really invited to them. The largest party I went to was the after party for my parents wedding only a few month back, but aside from that, I basically never went to any proper parties with other friends with things like alcohol.
People never really seemed to consider me even worth the time to invite, honestly ...
"Pinkie?" I look down to the Pinkie Pony who was still on a huge rant about things that could be in the party.
she stops talking immediately and looks up to me, her head tilted slightly to the side to display her curiosity to my interruption.
"Yes?" she asks up, looking directly into my eyes.
I take a small inhale of air and pat her on the mane, the poofy hair feeling silky yet puffy under my hand as it flattens and bounces back into its fluffy state.
"I'll let you throw that party." I say with a little smile.
She takes no time to celebrate and dashes off with a streak of pink into the town behind me, almost causing me to fall over again.
"Damn, she's quick!"

I take a few seconds to gather my thoughts and take my first step into ponyville.
"Alright, first thing I need to do is stay incognito, don't want anypony chasing me away or trying to ask me questions."
I stay at the side of the houses as I travel around the small town, keeping my senses high and sticking to the shade.
Each of the houses had roofs that seemed to be made of hay, with bricks for the walls and the normal glass windows amd wooden door.
Most of them had different colours, some were a blue colour, others were cream or brown.
"How nice, they have colours for their houses."
As I continued through the town, I saw several different ponies.
The mares DEFINITELY out-numbered stallions as I only saw 6 stallions as I passed by what seemed like the town square.
I slither out from behind the yellow house I was behind and run across the street when I am sure nopony is looking.
"Okay, made it across ... but what am I here for again?"
Suddenly, I hear a familiar voice beside me say "Hi, again!"
I turn my head quickly and see Pinkie Pie sitting on her flank beside me with a wide, and almost creepy, grin.
"Urm ... Hey Pinkie Pie." I chuckle with a nervous smile plastered on my face.
The pink pony stands up onto her hooves and hops up onto her hind-legs, placing her fore-legs onto my chest so she is almost at head hight.
"Whatcha doin' sneaking around?" Pinkie askes me, a completely innocent look on her face.
"I don't want everybody knowing i'm here. I don't think they'll take too well to seeing me." I take a quick look around then look back to the pink pony leaning onto me.
"Aww, but you'll make so many new friends!" her ears seem to flop down from their pointed state.
"Pinkie, only you and Applejack know i'm here. I don't want anypony to know i'm here until i'm sure it's time."
She pokes her head out around the corner then looks back to me.
"Okie dokie. Nopony is looking so get going. But don't think I won't get you into your own party!"
I hastily run out and hide behind a large tree.
From within the tree, I hear mumbles. I notice a window beside me and instantly realise this is the ponyville library, and the home of Twilight Sparkle.
"Well, I found Twilight, at least."
I slowly creep around the treehouse until I get to the door, hesitantly knocking and waiting for a reply.

The door opens and the Lavander unicorn herself is on the opposite side.
"Welcome to the ponyville libr- ..."
She Halts her little speech and looks over me, confused.
"Urm ... Hello?"
I reply back with a wave.
"Can you talk?"
I tell her "yes."
She asks if I would like to enter and I nod. She steps aside to allow me to walk in.
I enter and lean against the wall opposite the door, beside the stairs.
She asks me if she is allowed to ask me some questions and I tell her she can, the first question being what I expected it to be.
"What are you? Ive never seen you in any of my books."
"Im a Human." I respond blankly.
"Do you have a name?"
"Joshua, but I prefer Josh."
"Okay, Josh, what brings you here to ponyville?"
I tell her that i'm not actually supposed to be here and that I am from a completely different place altogether.
She floats over a scroll and quill, taking notes from what I had said.

We have some small conversation about who I am, what humans are like, how our planets differ and how I got here to begin with.
The whole time she had her pen against the paper, swiftly taking down notes and asking more questions.
Eventually, she finishes up her questions for a while and starts reading through some books.
"Does anypony else know you are here?" She asks, her eyes scanning over one of the pages.
"Only Applejack and Pinkie Pie."
"Okay, good. I bet Pinkie is going to try and make you one of her welcome parties." she giggles to herself and turns her head toward me.
"Do you have a place to sleep?"
I nod and explain that Applejack is letting me borrow her guest room for a while.
"That's good. now, go find Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. you won't mistake them for anypony else, trust me."
I walk over to the door and open it, walking back out into ponyville and returning to my stealth tactic.
