A/N: I don't own ANYTHING! Thank you so much to all of you who are reading this, and bearing with me. This isn't my first fan fic, but it's my first to post here.

So everyone knows, Derpy/Ditzy's name, Úthaes, means "temptation to do wrong", or just "to do wrong." Originally, I was just gonna have Derpy/Ditzy in the fellowship, but decided I needed to fill the other seven spots…

Also: Italics means either someone is thinking, or a pony is talking.

Chapter Two: Concerning Ponies

Day One:

After the Fellowship had received their magical guides, they were to be on their way. The original plan was to take boats and go up the great river, Anduin. However, due to the equines (and dragon) that graced their presence, the company was forced to walk alongside the great river, so it would take a few more days. It wasn't so bad; the hobbits got a free ride on their new ponies, while the other four in group, had a walking companion.

The ponies (and dragon), were not entirely taking a liking to their new Sindarin names. They wished to be called their real names; their true names. Lalaith decided to speak up for her fellow Equestrians. "Hey! Hey! Leggy!" She shouted at the elf, much to his annoyance. He didn't appreciate his new nickname any more than they did theirs.

Legolas turned to the bright pink pony. "What is it, Lalaith? Is something the matter?"

She beamed up at the blonde elf. "Well, I just wanted to tell you that those names Gally gave us weren't our real names!" She giggled.

"Well? Pray tell; what are they?"

Legolas regretted asking, for Lalaith then broke into song. "Weeeeeell Theeeere's me, I'm Pinkie Pie, and my friend Fluttershy, who is a Pegasus who doesn't like to fly! Twilight Sparkle and Rarity are unicorns who are also friends with me! In a flash there's Rainbow Dash, who's a fast Pegasus….ash. Applejack's got your back, don't forget our little dragon tyke, Spiiiiiike!" She paused for a breath. "Ohhhh, and Ditzy Doo, too!"

The elven prince stared at the little pony. His eyes narrowed. "That was… interesting… thank you,"

Aragorn sat, rubbing his temples, then said quietly to the rest of the company, "Be glad you did not understand any of it."

"Hey! It's a work in progress!" Pinkie Pie glared.

Legolas sighed. "Well, she claimed their names to be," He began gesturing at every pony. "Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spike, and," He paused glancing at his pony. "Ditzy Doo. What odd names…"

The ponies and their companions seemed to have been getting along. Boromir and Fluttershy were an exception, though.

Boromir sat upon a rock on the river bank, along with Pippin. They watched in silence as Pinkie Pie bounded around the fellowship, neighing profusely at them, with her curly pink tail twitching madly. "Twitcha-twitch! Twitcha-twitch!" Apparently, with translation from Legolas, parts of Pinkie Pie's body would twitch, or ache, at certain signs of danger. Her tail meant that something would fall from the sky. Boromir chuckled, and turned to the hobbit next to him.

"Pippin, I do believe your pink pony may be the noisiest beast I have ever had the misfortune of hearing,"

Pippin's eyes narrowed as he handed a carrot to Pinkie Pie, who stood patiently next to him, before another spell of twitching. "That's no way to talk about such a nice lady!" Pippin corrected.

Another booming laugh came from the Gondorian as he shook his head. After his fit of laughing, he looked to his pony, Fluttershy. The yellow Pegasus angrily stomped her hoof in the dirt and snorted at him. "You don't have to be so mean to my friends…You should think about your words before you say them… You don't know whose feelings you're hurting…"

Strider had been listening to the Gondorian being unknowingly reprimanded, and soon joined them. "We should be weary if Pinkie Pie is not herself, as Lady Galadriel has said," He stated, as he stoically scanned the horizon. "Her boisterous ways allow us to be safe."

A scoff rose from Boromir. "I heard what the White Lady said, but I hardly believe mere twitching can foretell danger,"

At that moment, Pinkie Pie's tail began twitching wildly again. "TWITCHA-TWITCH!" She neighed loudly with urgency. Her warnings were in vain, for the three standing beside her simply ignored her signals and continued with their talking. Suddenly the grey Pegasus Ditzy Doo flew by, hitting a tree branch in the process, causing said branch to fall upon the laughing Boromir's head.

"Ahhh! Legolas, your insufferable beast needs to be contained!" the Gondorian screamed, his hands flying to his head.

"I told you!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed with a huff.

Rainbow Dash had been walking along with the fellowship for quite a while, something Aragorn had encouraged; but now, she was growing bored, and decided to voice her opinion. "I'm sooooo booooored," she sighed heavily, following it with a large yawn. "This is lame," she continued as Aragorn could not help but roll his eyes.

An idea had popped into the filly's head. She turned to her fellow Pegasus, Ditzy. "Hey Ditz! Let's race!" Before the grey pony could reply, Rainbow Dash quickly rose into the sky. "C'mon, you're not gonna chicken out, are ya?"

"Okay," Ditzy Doo lazily replied, floating upward to the sky.

"On your mark! Get set! GO!"

Rainbow Dash zoomed ahead of Ditzy, quickly becoming out of sight to all. She was in fact the fastest Pegasus pony! Ditzy did not move, though. She stayed, floating in the air, a blank look on her face.

"Ditzy!" Pinkie yelled. "Go!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhh!" And then she was off… speeding into the wrong direction. The ranger just shook his head.

Moments later, the two Pegasi returned; Ditzy was growing out of breath, while Rainbow Dash had barely broke a sweat. The two ponies landed safely by the fellowship, who had begun to rest. "Ha! I won again!" Rainbow taunted, though Ditzy didn't entirely take her boasting seriously.

"Good jooob! You were fast!" Ditzy happily replied.

Her boasting was interrupted as Sam began to grumble, "It's been ten months to the day we left the Shire, Mr. Frodo… And—"

"Are you kidding? You took THAT long to get here!" Rainbow Dash neighed loudly at them. "You know, I could just take that ring thing to Mordor myself, destroy it, AND be back in ten seconds FLAT!"

The hobbits of course, didn't understand her boasting and simply stared blankly back at her.

Strider interrupted. "And how do you know the power will not consume you, my little pony?"

The Pegasus scoffed, tossing her mane. "Nothing can overpower Rainbow Dash! I'm the best pony in Equestria, after all,"

It worried Frodo to see Aragorn talking to the pony about the ring… especially about taking it. It also worried him… that he was talking to a pony, though deep down he knew that those weren't ordinary ponies.

Truth be told, Aragorn had grown tired of the pony's excessive boasting. She was much too confident. Though, Aragorn could not judge the pony, for it had only been one day, and it was soon to be over.

Throughout the day, Spike the dragon had taken to hitching a ride on Gimli's helmet atop his head. The two were getting along swimmingly; with Gimli laughing and joking about Spike growing up to be a ferocious treasure-hunting dragon, and possibly sharing the findings with the dwarf. This of course, tickled Spike; he would never share his delicious gems.

The dwarf was very satisfied with his guide, despite him being a baby dragon. "Aye, Spike, to tell ya the truth, I didn't think I'd like you, but you've shown me otherwise,"

Spike beamed at his new friend, purring in contentment.

As the sun began to slowly set in the west, the Company had come to the decision, that it was time to make camp. Applejack was the only pony not resting, for she felt that her help was still needed. Every other pony were very, very fatigued, especially Rarity, who complained mostly about the "horrible condition" her coat was in.

Rarity, with the help of her charm, and Legolas' translation, had gotten Merry to brush her coat for her, as she was much too tired to deal with the developing "rat's nest" herself. He did a fairly well job, and only a few times did he pull too hard on her mane and tail. And she rightly snorted at him, scolding him, though he could not even understand her, when he did. "Do. Not. Pull! We don't want any breakage do we? There's a good hobbit!"

As soon as he began on her coat, something which Rarity had never had someone else do before, she was surprised how wonderful it felt. "Oh! My, this is wonderful! I need to have someone brush me more often!" Her pony friends were soon told of this "coat brush"

Meanwhile, Applejack had decided she could help by searching for camping necessities. Sam too, was pleased with his pony. She was hardworking and eager to please, though sometimes, she would show her stubbornness. When Sam tried to brush her mane, she shied away, snorting. Applejack did not enjoy being pampered. Samwise still enjoyed her company greatly, though.

Frodo and Twilight seemed to be getting along as well, though sometimes, it grew a bit awkward. Twilight would respond to something he had said, only to remember that he, in fact could not even understand her. She proceeded to write Princess Celestia, for the third time that day, about a spell for this conundrum.

As the fellowship slept that night, Legolas had watch duty. There he sat, staring at the flowing river before him. He was still wondering why Galadriel had given him such an odd pony. He hoped she wasn't trying to say something. The soft sound of hooves on sand came from behind him. The elven prince turned his head to Ditzy Doo, cocking her head at him. She nickered softly before inching closer. Legolas had finally realized what it was about her eyes; they were wandering eyes. He had been given a cock-eyed pony. He shook his head as the Pegasus pony had lain down next to him. Even though the pony's strange eyes, or at least one eye, had been staring at him for a while, he couldn't help but smile. Ditzy Doo had been growing on him. He reached over to pat her on the head, only for her to groan, and then "gently" rest her head on him. This action had pushed the blonde elf over. An "ooph!" came from him, responding to the pony's move. She was soon fast asleep.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned that meeting new can be very challenging, especially when you don't have a lot in common, and no common language. But I also learned, that sharing the same goal can help anybody can become great friends. Again, I beg you for a spell that will help us be understood by our new friends. That should make things a whole lot easier. And thank you for sending us on this grand adventure. I am positive that no wrong can come out of this.

Your Loyal Student,

Twilight Sparkle."
