Chapter 2: Welcome to Ponyville

Back on Earth, somewhere around the world is a country called Korea, separated into two. The first half is called North Korea and the other is South Korea in which he is in, not all humans are rainbow and sunshine. Some think of power, wealth and greed, this makes a man selfish in his dark ways. Some think of Peace, friendship and love, this makes a man a symbol of Rejoice. Why is this Earth so complex? Why is the humans so different? What made us become so different from any other race? Who knows, do you know?

A man grunted and switched off a Television and let out a frustrated moan. 'Ridicules programs, as if anyone would listen to this' he thought. The man looked around his office, it was a neat and tidy office but bland. It was only temporary because he was always on the move, his eye's shifted to a picture frame of him and his son. He smiled warmly, his office phone rang and he picked up the phone "Hello?".

"Good evening, your meeting will start shortly" a female Korean said in an English Korean accent.

"Thank you" the man said and placed the phone down and rubbed his eyes. 'When I get a week off, I'm coming to see you...Joseph'

Joseph was sleeping like a rock, snoring lightly. It was morning in Ponyville, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue with a few clouds. The ponies woke up to the morning breeze starting with their daily lives. Nurse Redheart went to check up on Joseph, she pushed a cart with Joe's breakfast. She opened the door and went inside.

"Good morning, I brought you your break-" she said but stopped at the sight of Joe sleeping, snoring lightly and he was talking in his sleep "Zzz...Careful with that hammer...zzZ".

Nurse Redheart giggled at this 'its amazing what everypony can dream about' she thought. She went to Joe's side of the bed and lifted her hooves gently on his body and shook him lightly "Excuse Sir, it's time to wake up"

Joe's eyes slowly opened, he looked around the room, and saw the White pony nurse. He was startled but only for a second, he sat up straight and face Nurse Redheart "G-Good morning Nurse". Nurse Redheart smiled warmly at Joe, Joe couldn't help but smile as well while blushing a bit.

"I brought you your breakfast" Nurse Redheart said as she placed a tray on Joe's bed gently. The breakfast was a bowl of porridge that had a bit of steam coming up and a glass of orange Juice. "I added a bit of sugar for you if that's okay"

Joe nodded "Thank you very much" he took the spoon and lifted some porridge and blew lightly, he putted the spoon in his mouth and swallowed the porridge. Joe's eye's went wide. Nurse Redheart started to panic a little.

"Oh no! Is it too hot?" she asked him, Joseph smiled and ate more of the porridge. The Nurse was taken aback at the humans sudden shocked face to eating with great joy. Joe putted the spoon in the bowl and drank the orange juice.

"That was absolutely delicious, it was the best thing I've had in years. Thank you" Joe said cheerfully with a big smile.

Nurse Redheart lifted her right hoof in shock but smiled "w-why thank you very much, I'm so pleased that you liked it" she said. A knock came from the door, the nurse went over to the door and opened it. "Oh my, welcome everyone, please come in".

A group of ponies walked into the room including Twilight Sparkle, Nurse Redheart went out of the room. Joe was surprised on how many came with Twilight, he saw their looks, frightened. Twilight went up to Joe's bed side "Hello, how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling great thank you" Joseph said making Twilight sigh in relief "That's good news, I was thinking something bad would have happened"

Suddenly a Pink Pony was jumping around the room acting very hyper "ooh! What is he! Does he like party's?" she said loudly, Joe blinked in response.

"Pinkie Pie! Not right now!" Twilight said trying to calm the hyperactive pony, Joe smirked at the Pink Ponies behaviour but covered his mouth with his hand.

"Sorry about that, Let me introduce you to my friends, this here is Pinkie Pie" Twilight pointed her Hoof at her.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie and after you come out we're going to have a welcome party just for you!" Pinkie Pie yelled whilst jumping up and down. Pinkie Pie is a Pink coated Pony with a Puffy Rose magenta mane and her eye's are a Bluish cyan.

"And this is Rainbow Dash" Twilight said. Joe was gob smacked at Rainbow Dashes appearance, she was a Pegasus with wings, her coat was a Pale cyan and her mane was of the colours of the rainbow. Brilliant Red, Brilliant Orange, Light Yellow, Moderate Green, Strong Cyan and Moderate Green. Her tail shown the same colours as well. Her eyes were a Strong rose colour.

"That's me! The fastest Pegasus in all of Equstria!" Rainbow Dash said proudly, her voice makes her a tomboyish Pony. Joe didn't say anything because of the amazing colours. Rainbow Dash smirked at Joe's priceless face.

Twilight giggled "Okay Rainbow Dash remember he's not from this world and we have a lot to explain to him. Anyway, that's Rarity"

"Hello Dear, I want to let you know that your clothes you wore are cleaned and I brought them with me in my bag, and I made that hospital dress your wearing now" Rarity said in posh accent like the Britons in the old days back on Earth. Her coat was a Light Azura Gray, her mane was Indigo and Purple to Dark Violet and her eyes were Azure colour. Her horn glowed and the bags top came off and his clothes floated to him.

Joseph gasped and backed up as far as he could. Rarity placed the clothes on his bed and had look of concern "Oh my, I was not going to hurt you dear, I'm so sorry for scaring you"

Joe waved it off "It's alright, It was just so sudden" an awkward silence passed by for what it seemed like hours. Twilight then broke the mood "Okay...Now Let me introduce you to Fluttershy"

Fluttershy glanced back and forth at Joe, he knew what she was thinking, she didn't trust him fully and was very shy, hence the name. "H-hello" she whispered, Joe nodded, understanding her shyness. She too was a Pegasus . Her coat was a pale amber Yellow, her mane was pink and she had strong Cyan coloured eyes.

Twilight looked back and forth at Joe and Fluttershy as if they were mind linking. She shook it off and pointed her hoof to the last Pony "And that's Applejack". Joseph looked to see Applejack and gasped, pointing at her.

"Its-Its you! The Pony with the cowboy hat at the barn!" he yelled. All eyes were on Applejack, she made a nervous laugh "Eyup, That's me".

Rainbow Dash butted in "Applejack told us about you but we couldn't understand what she was trying to describe". Applejack playfully placed her head on Rainbow Dashes and pushed "Hold on there, I was tryin mah best!"

Twilight giggled "Alright girls settle down". Joseph watched them, he felt a warm feeling inside 'it must be great to have friends'.

"So, where did you come from? What's your name?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Joe looked at her and the rest, wondering where to start "Well, My name is Joseph Brooklyn and some people call me Joe, you can call me Joseph or Joe if you like. I'm a male, 16 years old and I attend School. I'm a human from Earth and live in a country called America, I'm in the New York state and live in New York City."

Everypony was amazed by the information. Pinkie Pie bounced around "WOW! We have a connection! Your from this Earth and I'm a Earth Pony!". Joe looked at Twilight with a confused look and raising an eyebrow.

Twilight smiled nervously "I'll explain about the Pony races later but right now we need to find you a place to live". Joseph didn't think about that, he rubbed his chin in thought, however, Twilight had an offer. "You can stay at my house for awhile"

Joe looked at her with a concerned look "are you sure? I don't want to be a burden to you".

"Of course I'm sure, and you won't be a burden." Twilight reassuringly said with a smile, he also returned the smile "Thank you so much".

Then Twilight gasped and clapped her hooves together "Oh I know! Let's have a sleep over at mine tonight!" she said like a school girl. Pinkie Pie also jumped around like crazy "YAY! LET'S HAVE A PARTY!" and all the ponies talked about the sleep over. Joe however sat quietly not wanting to ruin their moment.

He sighed sadly 'why? Why are they being so nice to me, a stranger from another world. No one is like this back at home but these 'ponies' are wanting to help me as if they are already my friends. But I don't have any friends, none at all, except for Dad...'

Applejack's face was very close to Joe's face "Are ya alright sugercube? Seem to be spacin out, got somethin on yer mind?". Joe jumped at Applejack's face being very close but he laughed nervously and scratched his head "Oh..n-no I'm okay, thanks for asking". He saw the look on her face that she didn't seem to buy it but she nodded.

Nurse Redheart came back "Well it's seems your fine, you may leave whenever your ready". Joe slowly got out of bed, his bare feet touching the cold floor that sent shivers down his spine. He stood up, remembering his balance. The Ponies watched in awe as if he was a giant from Jack and the bean stalk.

"Whoooa! Amazing how you can walk on two hooves!" Rainbow Dash commented. Twilight facehoofed "Rainbow Dash he's not one of us, it's not called hooves for him it's called...called...umm...Joe, what are they called in your world" she asked sheepishly.

Joe blinked at her question "Feet?". Twilight then nodded "Feet! Yes, feet", everyone or everypony to him laughed but he didn't understand why.

He was about to take off his hospital dress until he remembered his room was full of girls. He blushed lobster red and spoke out nervously "Urr...umm...I-I can't get dressed if your in here"

The gang of ponies faces were full of confusion "Why not?" asked Twilight. Joe blushed some more

"I'm a guy and your girls...you know...Umm..."

Rarity made a small gasp "Girls, let's give Joseph some privacy. Come out whenever you're ready darling". Joe nodded "Thanks Rarity".

Pinkie Pie bounced out of the room humming a tune of some sorts while the others galloped out. Joe sighed in relief, he took off his hospital dress and picked his T-shirt up. It was a Yellow and the shoulder parts were black (Like Cole's shirt from inFamous 2) and his trousers were black with two white stripes on both left and right sides. He putted them on and got his white socks on, he grabbed his shoe's that were white with blue strips, Joseph putted his feet on the shoes and tied each one. He went up to a mirror and looked at his face. 'Nothing changed about my face thank goodness' he thought and glanced to the door 'What am I getting myself into? I'm going to be living with talking ponies and that can use magic. I think I'm going crazy'. He walked to the door and slowly opened it, he was greeted by Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm.

"HELLO JOE! NICE CLOTHES YOU HAVE!" she yelled cheerfully. Joe smiled "Thank you".

Applejack suddenly walked away "Sorry folks but I gotta get back to work, Nice meetin ya Joe, see y'all later.".

Fluttershy hovered away as well "Umm...I have to go too, I must feed the animals. Goodbye".

"Goodness! I'm late on my work! I must be off, I would like to see you soon for your clothes in the future Joseph! Goodbye Darling!" Rarity said as she galloped away.

Rainbow hovered in front of Joe "You better not do anything funny with Twilight Mister! Or I'll take you down in 5 seconds flat!" and with that, she flew off rather fast.

Pinkie Pie jumped and stopped mid air, she was shaking and made a loud gasp "Oh no! I need to bake the cakes! Bake the cupcakes and make the milkshakes! Bye Bye Joe! See you later!" and goddess knows how she flew off.

Joseph stood still and silently in the middle of the hall way with Twilight by his side, his eye twitched and mouth wide open. "Good Bye? I guess?"

The little unicorn made a chuckle "Don't worry, you'll get use to it. C'mon I'll show you around Ponyville" Twilight said with amusement. Joe walked with Twilight out of the hospital but not before seeing Nurse Redheart before he left.

"Nurse, I really want to thank you for everything you've done for me when I'm a foreign species", Nurse Redheart nodded "I'll always be here to help you if your sick or injured Mr. Brooklyn. Take care of yourself now". He smiled gracefully at her and walked out with Twilight.

After about an a few hours of exploration around Ponyville, Twilight decided they should head back to her house. While exploring around Ponyville, he saw lot's of stares and corncerns. Most of them welcomed him with open arms and some didn't care. A lot of them asked him questions in which he did his best to answer them all. Twilight managed to get him out of the crowds of Ponies.

The sun was almost down, they arrived at Twilights house. Joe was confused "You live in a tree house?".

Twilight smiled "Well, it may look like that from the outside but on the inside it's the Local Library and Me and Spike's home." She went up to the door and gestured her hoof at the door. "After you"

Joseph walked up to the door and opened it, he saw the room was dark and couldn't see a thing. He went inside with Twilight following him from behind "Twilight, where's the light switch?"

Twilight closed the door "It's coming on...now!" she suddenly yelled. The lights turned on and Joe was greeted by a huge "SUPRISE!". He jumped in the air and saw many ponies including Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. He looked around in amazement, 'so many, so big...for me?'. Pinkie Pie went up to him with a huge grin on her face "Hi Joe! I made this party just for you!".

"But...why?" he asked her making Pinkie Pie make a face as if he said a really stupid question "This is a welcome party silly!" she laughed. Joe looked at everpony as they smiled at him, he felt something he hasn't felt in a long time. He was Happy.

A tear dropped from his eye following a stream of tears running down his face. Everypony shown concern to him, Pinkie Pie turned sad "Are you okay Joe? Why are you crying?".

Joe noticed his tears and wiped them away "N-No, it's nothing. I have dust in my eyes." He smiled "Thank you so much, this is the best party In anyone has given me in my life"

After about an hour of partying, Joe had a fantastic time, he was greeting warmly by the ponies and had some good food and drinks. Turns out that everyone left so suddenly at the hospital was not only to get back to their work but to get ready for the Party. Twilight knew all along that they were getting ready for him. But shortly after the ponies left saying their goodbyes to Joseph and hope he will happy here until he returns home. All who left left was Joseph, Spike and the six Mane.

"Alright everypony! Let's get ready to sleep!" Twilight squeaked at the end, clapping her hooves together.

"Twilight, what about the mess?" Joe pointed out. Twilight realised how messy it was, she flopped her ears down and laughed nervously "Oh yeah, that"

"Don't worry I'll clean it up" Spike said coming from behind the group. Joe noticed the little dragon and knelt down to him "You Spike am I right?" and he offered a hand shake.

Spike smiled and shook his hand "Yeah! You remembered! Your name is...Joseph Brooklyn?". Joe nodded "That's right"

The girls giggled at them, it seems like they are best friends already. Joe looked around "Are you sure you can clean this all on your own Spike?"

Spike nodded "Yeah, it's gonna be a long night but hey, that's what I do!" he said proudly. Joe stood up "Let me help you".

Spike looked shocked "What? I can do it myself dude, you need to sleep". Joseph shook his head "I'm going to help you, the quicker we can do this the faster we can go to sleep. Sleeps good right?".

Spike putted a hand on his chin, pondering his words "Well, I do want to sleep. And with you, a big guy, we can finish this in no time. But are you sure you want to help me?"

Joe nodded "Sure I'm sure". Spike then punched his fist in the air "Alright then! Let's do this!". Twilight however stepped forward.

"Hey hang on! We'll help you!" She offered but the Boy's dislined the offer "Thanks guys but I think me and Joe can do it."

Twilight moved her hooves back and forth a bit looking guilty of them having to clean everyone's mess. "Well...okay, but please don't stay cleaning this for too long"

"Don't worry Twilight, we'll be fine" Spike said. Twilight nodded and went up with the girls and arranged their bed plans.

Spike and Joe looked at each other and grinned. Spike spoke up "Why are we grinning?" he asked to Joe but his answer was the same in Spike's mind "To be honest, I don't know".

The boys cleaned the room and thrown away the rubbish. Joe cleaned the dishes while Spike dried them. Spike and Joe were becoming close friends. They got some trays with biscuits and drinks for them and the girls.

"Feels like we're servants huh?" Spike joked. Joseph had an idea and whispered to Spike. They went up and saw the six mane in a circle, talking about what any normal girl would with others. Twilight heard them and turned to see them "Spike, Joe, oh! You brought us Refreshments, thank you so much".

They placed their refreshments down while Joe held his and Spikes refreshments. "No problem" Spike said and he and Joe bowed "Your Majesty" they both said. Twilight's eyes went wide and spurted random word out "I-Majesty-w-what?". Joe and Spike walked over to Joe's bed which was not that far away from them. They both sniggered as they sat down, leaving the girls to look at each other but they also giggled. Twilight covered her mouth with her Hoof 'Those silly two'.

It was midnight. Everypony and Dragon was fast asleep. Except for mankind, Joseph couldn't sleep. He tossed and he turned in his bed on the floor but he just could not sleep. A lot was on his mind. What would happen if he didn't attend school back on Earth, what would his father do if he found out he was missing. Joe sat up from the bed and putted a hand on his forehead, he stared at the sleeping ponies and the Dragon next to him. He needed some fresh air, Joe crept out of his bed quietly and putted his shoes on and proceeded to exit the house quietly. He got to the front door and opened it slowly and closed it slowly as he was outside. Joseph took a breath of the cool fresh night air, he looked at the night time sky and saw that the stars were out as well as half a moon. It was something Joe could never quite see normally in New York City. It was never quiet, always noisy, most of the people are cruel. But not in Ponyville, it was the place that Joe always wanted to live in, if only his father was with him and they could have a happy life. He found himself in the town square, nopony was here, just a quiet and peaceful night. He sat down on the steps of the Tower that was in the middle of the square.

He heard something coming up to him, he lifted his head up to see who it was and it was Twilight Sparkle. She held a very concerned face. "Joseph, why are you out here this late? What's wrong?"

He sighed "Twilight, I don't know what to think. I wonder what's happening right now back at home, what will my school do about my absence, what will my father do when he knows I'm gone".

Twilight sighed also and sat next to him "I'm sorry about that Joe. But I promise to try and get you home. That's what friends do."

Joe looked at her when she said 'friends' "A-Are we friends? Because I never had any friends back home". Twilight's eyes widend "What! How come?"

He looked away "I don't know why, everyone seems to think of me as a virus and hardly notices me. I get bullied for being a bookworm and being quiet all the time."

Twilight felt sorry for him, he was like her in a way. She started off with no friends and thought she didn't need any to stop Nightmare Moon but the found out friendship is important. She defeated Nightmare moon along with her new friends. Twilight putted a hoof on Joe's shoulder and smiled "You have lot's of friends already Joseph. Me, Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. You are not alone"

Joe looked at Twilight with tears in his eyes. Yes, she was right, he now had friends. They don't even know who or what he was but they quickly treated him as an equal. He felt that he belonged to this world. He made a smile "Thank you Twilight, Thank you."
