Chapter 2
Equestria, is what I'm 120% sure I'm looking at right now. I'm not even sure how to react to this. It's the very cliché situation of being in one place, then suddenly, poof, now you're in a different place or dimension or time. To be honest, I've only dreamed of this place… WAIT! Dreams, Luna's presence, and packed bags, this simply isn't a coincidence; it literally cannot be coincidence. I'm sure it is part of some pre-made plan between the Princesses. If so I need to get to them ASAP. But, first I need to get some new friends, a home, and money. "I suppose I've got myself a plan. Yes. It is good for now. If all goes well…" I was speaking to myself when I heard a voice. "LOOOK OUT BELOW!" yelled a panicked voice. I quickly looked toward the direction of the voice. Then an impact of roughly 30-40 pounds slammed, and I mean slammed into me. Said impact sent me and the pony (because there would be humans or anthromorphs in the real Equestria) tumbling for a good five or so feet, at least. "Oh, I'm so sorry mister!" said a clumsy sounding voice. Looking at the sky is what I wanted to be doing, but instead I got a great view of a beautiful pair of gold eyes. Gray fur as well, as well as a blonde main belonged to this particular pony. "Mister, are you okay?" asked the pony whose identity was obvious to me, Ditzy Do (a.k.a. Derpy Hooves, the fan- made name). "Hm, oh, yes, I'm okay. I think I should ask you the same" I replied to Ditzy. Ditzy's muzzle was pressed against my… muzzle? Ignoring that fact that I was a pony, I tried to escape the almost painfully awkward moment. "Um, I suppose you have somewhere to go, yea?" I said, again, trying to escape the un-intentional pin I was tackled into. "Mm, nope. I just got off work, so I'm in no rush," Said Ditzy, as I glanced down to see her mail courier's outfit. 'Now this could be a problem.' I thought to myself, as I plotted for a way out of the pin, but I had to do so politely. And not say her name, I needed to sound new to the area. "Miss, may I please get up?" I asked, trying not to sound rude. Ditzy looked a bit confused, then she looked down in the direction of our feet. Her golden, wall-eyed eyes met mine again, and she blushed, hard. Like, I mean, full face red. "Oh! I'm so very sorry mister!" She said, with the nervousness radiating from her face. She hoped up into the air and landed a couple feet away. I sat up on my haunches of my new pony body. 'Learn how to use new body, added to list.' I thought to myself. "No, it's fine. It has happened to me a couple of times." I stated admittedly as I looked for my fedora that I just realized was missing. As I located my fedora, Ditzy released a loud gasp. "What?" I asked putting my fedora on, slightly confused. Ditzy's blush just got… bigger, if that's even possible. "What?" I asked again, showing more confusion in my voice. Ditzy bowed and spoke with… humility? Yes, it was humility in her voice, "I'm really, really sorry, your Majesty!" "I'm sorry, what?" I said absolutely dumbfounded. Upon a closer look at my new body, I discovered that I had both wings and a horn. 'Well, this complicates things.' I thought and contemplated on my next plan of action. "Right, um, there really is no need to bow, for I'm not a ruler. Or even royalty for that matter." I said trying to back-pedal out of the situation. "Are-are you sure, your Majesty." Ditzy said trying to be respectful to some fool who just showed up from… Odd, now that I think about it, how did I get here? "Yea- yea, I'm sure, and, please, call me Cloud." I said, snapping out of thought, and trying to sound like nothing happened. I offered a hoof to Ditzy to help her up, like royalty, I suppose. I like treating others better than me, it feels good. Anyway, she accepted my offering hoof and stood up, still nervous about speaking to an alicorn, casually at that. "Um, okay, your Maj- I mean M-Mister Cloud" Ditzy stammered still trying to please me. "*Sigh* Just… just think of me as just another per- er, pony." I said, almost screwing up in my first conversation with any pony in this peaceful land. "O-okay, I will." Ditzy said, still a bit nervous. "Right, then, I'm new to the area, so could I get a tour, please?" I asked, uncharacteristically chirpily. Ditzy cocked her head to her left and gave me a blank look. Then, she snapped to attention, "Yea, I'll give you a tour of Ponyville and treat you to some food. You must be hungry from your travels." Ditzy said just as chirpily as I had moments ago. I checked over my bags, Xbox, and fixed my fedora, ready to go. "Alright, lead the way Miss…" I started and left off playing dumb. "Ditzy, but everypony calls me Derpy." Ditzy stated rather proudly. This still bothered me, even though Ditzy herself said it was okay. I won't stand for that name. "I like Ditzy more." I muttered, unnoticeably agitated. "Right, anyway, lead on." I said, more light-heartedly. Ditzy began a rather quick trot, and tripped. I approached, extended a hoof, and helped her up. "Let's just walk then, eh?" I said, attempting a failed joke. "Yes sir." Ditzy said joyfully, giving me a salute. With that, we walked toward the town of Ponyville.
