I was awoken to the sound of what seemed to be...bubbles, my eyes twitching and fluttering as they slowly started to open from my slumber. I already knew, from the sounds and the smells around me, that I was not in my room. My head felt fine, so I knew I wasn't having a case of hangover memoires loss; so...where was I? My eyes slowly took in the surroundings around me, looking to my left slowly, I found a large round window, it was somewhat large, the walls around it being, to me, a muddy brown. Looking down at my body, I noticed a yellow or dirty yellow blanket draped over my, it was slightly small, this I knew from the feeling of cold air on my toes. I noticed that, that my feet could touch this, wall of sorts, it felt like a tree bark. Slowly turning my head to my right, I blinked once, twice, then a third time for what I was seeing, a small little horse, I guess a pony, was resting its front hooves on the side of the bed, large eyes looking right at me.

The two of us just stared at each other, when I blinked, it blinked. Its eyes were an orange like color, to me as I said, you see, I'm somewhat color blind, that's why I say it looked like such a color to me. The hair, or as it is well known as mane, on the head was red, a little...poofy looking maybe? But the weird thing was, that it was styled like that of a human women would do, mostly coming down its head in the front, still able to see the eyes clearly. The tail, from what I could see when it moved, was pretty much the same; a large pink bow on top of the head, leaving me to think that it was in fact, a she. "You a funny looking pony, an't ya?" I blinked, that was not me speaking...it was her?! I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing did come out, I had to be dreaming, a weird pony talking dream. I removed my hand from under the blanket and then pinched my cheek. Ouch! Okay, so not a dream...so then... "Why'd you do that minster?" the way she spoke, had a south like accent, you know, country type, I should know; one of my best friends talk like that. "Zecora! The one ya brought here is up now!"

"Ah I see young Apple Bloom," I heard another voice...this one, I don't even know how the accent was for her, I knew it was a women's voice anyway, but I never heard anyone speak like that before. "Then please, allow me some room." As the pony moved, the one I guess was named, Apple Bloom, I could see the room I was in more clearly now. Up on the wall were a few masks that, to a kid in dark could scare the hell out of them. Some bottles on the roof, and when I looked up, a large funnel of a hole were going up...was I in a tree?! The sounds of someone coming closer were heard, and before me, was yet another...wait...a zebra? I shit you not, a zebra, much taller then this Apple Bloom was standing before me. Though...I'm guessing this was the one who spoke, she did not have the trademark black and white, but a...light grey...with darker grey; maybe? Her eyes, somewhat closed, I could still see she held an aqua green, her mane being a Mohawk, with the same colors are her coat. Her tail just hanging down. On her ears were a set of large gold earrings, and on her neck...a weird, necklace thingy...I don't even know. She tilted her head, and brought her hoof up toward me, I moved away as she retracted her hoof. "Do not fear, for I will not come closer or too near," she gave me what looked to be a soft smile. "I just wish to see if that bruise on your head is at the end, you have nothing to fear, for I am a friend."

"B...bruise?" I asked speaking for the first time, reaching up; the side of my head did hurt like an old wound slightly, as the one named Apple Bloom answered.

"Ya huh," she brought her front hooves back on the bed as I looked down at her. "When I came here yesterday and saw ya for the first time, ya had a huge lump of blueness!"

"Yes, a small potion I made to cure such a bump," she answered with a small chuckle. "Just was glad it was not a lump!" the zebra who I guess was Zecora, gave laugh as I only blinked.

"Talking...ponies...this is just weird," I answered shaking my head. "And...where am I? How did I get here?" Zecora looked to Apple Bloom and spoke.

"Would you mind filling in the guest, so that I may finish up this quest?" I noticed that this zebra slightly, rhymed, yeah weird; but slightly cool. I watched as the smaller pony nodded as the zebra went to a huge caldron of sorts, throwing stuff into it and stirring it with her hooves.

"Well," Apple Bloom answered jumping onto the bed and lying down as I watched her. "Ya see minster, Zecora found ya knocked out deep in Everfree Forest, that's were she lives by the way," she stopped for a moment and then went on. "When ah came to visit her like I do at times, ah found ya laying in this bed as you are right now! By the way minster," she paused and looked up to me with those big eyes...I'll admit...that was cute. "What's ya name and what are you?"

"My name...is Brandon," I answered looking down at her, to answer her and then placed my hand over my chest. "As to what I am, I'm a human."

"Ya not a weird looking pony then?" I gave a soft chuckle and shook my head, the way she acted and sounded, she might have been maybe a five year old filly.

"Nah, just a human,"

"Never heard or seen any humans around these parts," she answered looking at me closely. "Where ya from, Mister Brandon?"

"Nova Scotia," I answered her again. "And please, just call me Brandon," she nodded and gave me a confusing look.

"Where's 'Nova Scotia'? Oh! Is that like some sort of secret place?!"

Wait...secret? How could it be, it's on a freaking map! Ugh never mind, I'll just ask her what she means, but before I could, she kinda answered it for me. "An't never heard of that sort of place or town in Equestria."

"Equest- wait what?" I asked sitting up. "Never...heard of that place before," looking away as I thought, did...I know this sounds strange...but did I end up, on a world filled with talking ponies? I mean, sure, they did that with the Pokémon games...but that's just make belief!

"Ya huh," Apple Bloom spoke out loud to make me look back at her. "Everfree Forest is next to Ponyville, beyond that in the big mountains is Canterlot, and, up in the skies is Cloudale!"

'Wait...what?!" I yelled out. "Ugh...give me a sec...oh god this is all too much to take in!"

After maybe a good hour, me pretty much just with my knees to my chest. If my hunch was right, and no doubt it was it was; I was in a whole new world. Apple Bloom left for...somewhere, I don't know, while Zecora filled me in, while still rhyming, about the three types of ponies in the world, Earth ponies, like the two of them were, unicorns, who could use magic; duh, no shit on that. And lastly, Pegasus, really, holy crap. I then noticed a weird marking on her flanks, she told me that it was something called a cutie mark, every pony seemed to get one when they found out their talent. When at last I did get out of the bed to stretch out my body, I noticed that I had nothing on, but my white boxers. The zebra explained that she wanted to make sure that I did not get any more injuries she did not see, and had my clothing washed for me. Slipping on my faded blue jeans with a rip on one part of the knee, and a black tee-shirt, as well as my grey sweater; Apple Bloom was just entering through the door as I slipped on my blue and black Nikes. "Oh, ya up now Brandon?" I was glad she was using my name and not 'mister' made me feel older then I was. "That's good, ah asked my big sis if ya can stay with us until ya get your own place to stay." I was rather shock, her sister didn't even know me...and she would allow me to stay with them. "But ya gotta help out around the farm though,"

"Fair trade," I answered her standing up and tapping the top of my foot on the floor. "What do you harvest?"

"Apples!" she cried as I looked to her. "Yup, we're the Apple family; we make apple stuff, from apple pies, to apple cider!"

"Hrm," I hummed slightly. Picking apples did seem like easy work, and I was getting a roof over my head. "Alright," I answered with a nod and then turned to Zecora. "And thank you for caring for me Zecora," I spoke, making my right hand a fist, the other hand up, sideways like if I was going to do a chop, placed the top of my fist on the bottom on my flat upward hand and made a small bow. "If you ever need anything, please, let me know."

"I shall remember this friend of mine," she answered with a smile. "But I do believe that I shall be fine."

After walking away from her home, looking back, seeing how I was right, her home was in fact a hollow out tree, I heard Apple Bloom say something to me. "So...what was that thing you did with ya hooves?" Apple Bloom asked as I followed her through the forest, Everfree forest, I'll admit, seem a bit creepy, but if a little kid like Bloom can walk through it, can't be scary to locals.

"Oh, this?" I asked showing her what she was talking about. "Well these are hands, not hooves, and second, it's a fire symbol. When I was younger, I used to get beat up a lot, so my mother and father enrolled me in a class, where we are taught to defend ourselves. This was what the students would do before a match when we fought off, in a way, it shows we shall fight fair, and never cheat. Or in this case, shows we are honored for what someone did for us."

"Oh, so you're a fighter?" she asked as I chuckle.

"Well, me and my two friends, we spar a lot, but we do this to keep in shape. Ether way, no matter what happens, one of my friends, Mike; he easily beats me."

"How so?" she tilted her head.

"Well...see, we divide ourselves up in three ways, think of us as human ponies for a moment. Mike is the power or an Earth Pony, I'm the speed, Pegasus; and lastly Devon, he fights with skills. Mostly he goes for like disarming or counter attacks." She only nodded, maybe not fully grasping what I was saying, but hey, she is only a young filly. After passing a cottage close to the forest after we exited, I noticed a lot of bunnies and other such critters all around. I asked Apple Bloom about the cottage, and she told me someone, (or as she said somepony) named Fluttershy lived there. Really...lots of like names here in Equestria or whatever. Pretty soon we came to where she said she lived, a placed known as Sweet Apple Acres, and damn...so many apple trees! It's like...do they ever get tried of apples?! Making our way what seemed to be the home, I mean, it looked to be the home; Apple Bloom opened the door and called out.

"Big sis! Ah home, and ah brought Brandon with me!" it didn't take long for the sound of clopping on the floor to be heard, following the sounds, I found myself looking forward, slightly to the right, no doubt coming from the living room.

The pony I saw walk through was bigger the Apple Bloom, seeing how she WAS older. She wore a brown as I would call 'cowboy hat' on her head, long golden mane under it, tied in a pony tied with a red band near the end. Her eyes, green like mine in a way, three small white freckles' by her eye. Her tail was much like her mane, tied near the end, and on her flanks as she turned, three red apples, one on top, two on bottom; her coat was that of a deep orange. She gave me a look, not sure what it was, I guess confusion, because I highly doubt she would know what I am. "Well I'll be darn," she spoke in the same way Apple Bloom did as well. "Little Apple Bloom wasn't fibbing when she said you weren't no pony looking!"

"'Cause I'm human," I answered crossing my arms.

"Human? Ya pulling my left hind leg! Like in the stories?" stories? So...humans are known in...stories here, hrm, I'll have to see up on that. "Well I'll be, I didn't think ya kind were real, what are ya all doing down in Ponyville anyway?" so I started to explain how I didn't know how I got here, how Zecora found me and such. She listened the whole time and then nodded. "Well then pardon, if ya need a place to stay, we more then got enough room for ya!" I smiled at her, but stopped when she raised a hoof. "But ya'll need to earn ya stay, no freeloaders around these parts, ya got that?"

"Understood, Miss...?" she gave chuckle to this.

"Just call me Applejack, for that is my name, or if ya wanna be friendly, call me AJ for short!" I smiled and nodded my head.

"Thanks...this means a lot that you'd allowed me to stay here, Applejack." I then did the gesture to her as I did to Zecora. And once I was done, a low rumble was heard.

"What in the hey was that?!" Apple Bloom asked looking around; again the rumble came as I looked down. All three of us listened as my gut growled as I chuckled and rubbed my head.

"Guess I am kinda hungry," we all let out a joints of laughs at this as again my gut growled.

After meeting their grandmother, who was known as Granny Smith, and also her giving me a slice of the best apple pie I had ever gotten in my life! I thought it would be a good idea to look around Ponyville, which was just up the road from where I was at the moment. As I entered the place, I could FEEL the eyes on every one of the ponies on me; some of them muttering to the ones next to them. I could only guess what they were asking each other, what was I, or other things along the lines of that. After a while, I stopped to think for a moment. Sure Applejack would allow me to stay at her family's place, but still, how do I know that the only payment I'll get would be that of the stay at the barn house? If I was going to stay here for who knows how long...I'll need to get a... I stopped in my thoughts as I walked into a pink pony. Looking down, it looked up to me, from seeing the difference of what the guy ponies and the girl ponies look like, I knew this, was a female. Her hair, maybe a shade darker then her coat, and was puffy, reminded me of cotton candy in way, even her tail was pretty much the same. As I looked over her, I noticed her cutie mark that of being three balloons maybe? Her eyes, wide and looking at me, looked to be a light blue, or violet blue in a sense. We just blinked at each other; I brought a hand out to slightly wave. "Uh...sup?" I asked as she jumped high in the air, a loud long gasp was heard...and she booked it like a bat out of hell. I coughed as the dirt ground lifted up some dust, waving my hand in front of me to clear the air. Once it was, I noticed she was gone. "Whoa..." I simply spoke outloud. "Never thought I would see that in real life."

"Well," I heard a voice behind me. "That Pinkie always does things such as that."

I slowly turned my head so I could look over my shoulder, to see a pure white unicorn standing behind me. Her mane was violet, and curled on one side, much like her tail was, her eyes were aqua blue, and her cutie mark, were three diamonds. From just the way she bashed her eyelashes at me and spoke, she seemed to be of high class. "And my word, I did not think Applejack was being truthful, you truly are human!" I crossed my arms and nodded my head.

"That I am," I answered as I looked down, I saw her seem to glare at my clothing, and a small 'tsk' easily heard.

"My goodness, just look at your clothing!" she walked around me as she groaned; the back of my shirt was a little torn at the base of it. "Do you not have any other clothing?"

"Well, seeing how I didn't know how I got here, and no pack...no I don't," I answered rolling my eyes as she looked to me.

"Well, this shall not do one bit! Are you busy?"

"W...well, I am looking for a job at the moment," she brought a hoof to her chin.

"Hrm, this is a bother, I know looking for employment is important, hrm, oh I know one moment!" I watched as she trotted away, I decided to wait. After a good few moments, she returned with a long yellow tap. I allowed her to place the tape like line along my legs, arms and other such body parts. After that, she would walk around me a few times, a hoof under her chin as she nodded to herself. "Yes, yes I think this may work; hrm," she then looked up to me and gave a small smile. "When you are down, just ask around and ask where my lovely home is, by the time you get there, I'll have some woven clothing for you. Now, what kind would you like?"

"Uh..." I stammered slightly before answering her. "Just...make them slightly plain, don't want to be sticking out more then I need to." the pony only smiled and nodded before bringing her hoof out.

"Also, my name is Rarity, a pleaser to meet you." I took her hoof and shook it once.

"Brandon," I answered. "And thank you, how much do I owe you?"

"Posh, you need clothes, and I shall give, it will be a good change of pace to make clothing for a human."

After saying goodbye to the white unicorn, I made my way around the small village a bit more, not really finding a job that stood out, I just gave it a shrug and decided to head on back to the farm for the reminder of the day. Well, for a few hours. After finding out where Rarity lived, I promised myself to go to her place to see how she did the clothing for me. While on my way back toward the farm, I noticed a low sound that sounded far off. For some reason, it sounded like a jet plane by the sound of it. Just then a loud boom caused me to yelp as I looked up, but after doing so, a blue like blur smashed right into my chest, sending me on the ground and skidding backwards. I coughed a few times to get my lungs filled with air again, groaning at the slight pain as I heard another groan, of a women. "Oh...ow...guess I overshot that by a bit." Groaning, I looked down at who was on top of me, to see that it was a winged pony.

Light red eyes were looking back at me, the coat that she wore, looked to be a very light blue in a sense. Her mane and tail were...a rainbow color, yeah really, it looked like a rainbow. Even her cutie mark looked to be a white cloud with a lighting bolt that had the same colors. I shook my head to clear of the dizziness I was having at the moment. I felt her jump off me as I sat up groaning again. "Again, really sorry about that!" she spoke as I looked to her; she was rubbing the back of her head slightly. "Didn't think it would go off like that!"

"Yeah...it's alright, nothing's broken...wait..." I looked down at my feet, noticing I was only in my socks. "What the..?" I then looked forward, and saw that my shoes were still standing, right where I was! I heard the sound of snickering as I looked over, her face blushed as she tried to stay her laughter before...

"Bwhahaha!" she then fell on her back laughing.

"That's not funny!" I yelled out as she kept laughing, and after a while, I slowly started to laugh along with her.
