Previous Chapter Next ChapterOkay, I just want to let everypony know that there's a reason for all the typos, you see I have Asperger's syndrome so I have a bit of trouble with reading and spelling. So don't be surprised if this chapter and future ones have typos as well, I hope everypony can forgive me for not telling you sooner.
So anyway, please enjoy
Chapter 3: First day
I continued down the road until I came to the entrance of Sweet Apple Aches. I entered the farmland to find nopony insight.
"Wired….. the place is deserted." I was about to leave until I heard a somepony yelling from the apple tree fields.
"Come on Winona, these apples ain't gonna pick themselves up." Yelled a female voice.
I entered the fields and saw a dog with an apple in its mouth; I recognised the dog as Winona, Applejacks pet. Winona then noticed me, dropped the apple and ran towards me.
When she got close enough, she tackled me to the ground and started licking my face. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ha Ha, okay girl, Ha Ha, calm down Ha Ha Ha." I laughed as Winona licked me.
"TARNATION WINONA, what have I told ya'll not to jump on ponies" Applejack yelled as she pulled Winona off of me.
Applejack helped me back up. "Sorry about that, names Applejack, and you?" She asked shaking my hoof really fast.
"M-M-M-Matthew." I said while she shook my hoof, when she let go my hoof was throbbing.
"Well nice to meet cha Matt, ya new in town?" Applejack asked.
"Just arrived, so….witch way is town?" I asked. She pointed her hoof to the road.
"Just further down the road, sugar cube. I'd love to give ya'll the tour, but I'm far too busy apple buckin'. You can always ask my friend Twilight, she lives in the library in town. It shouldn't be too hard, just look for the big house that looks like a tree." Applejack suggested.
"I'll do that, thanks. Hope we hang out some more." I said as I continued to walk.
"Same here." I heard her yell behind me.
Ponyville
After walking a while down the road, I finally made it to Ponyville and it was bigger and better than I imagined.
The young fillies and colts were running around playing, the market was packed and even some of the ponies stopped and said hello to me.
After a walking through Ponyville, I found the library. I stopped in front of the door. "Okay Matt remember, play it dumb, you're a pony, you don't know who Twilight is, you don't know who her friends are and you don't know what their like." I said to myself before knocking on the door.
The door opened to reveal Spike. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for someone…..I mean, somepony named Twilight. I was told I could find her here." I told the small purple dragon.
"Yeah she's here, come on in I'll get her." Spike said as he turned to go back inside with me following behind.
I looked around the library and noticed it was bigger in person than it was on the show.
"TWILIGHT, SOMEPONYS HERE TO SEE YOU." Spike yelled up the stairs.
I was so busy looking around the library that I didn't see the wet patch on the floor in front of me and I slipped slightly.
"Careful, I'm mopping the floor." Spike said as he resumed mopping.
At that moment, Twilight was already halfway down the stairs. She looked over to me "Hello, can I help-AHH."
She couldn't finish her sentence as she slid on the wet floor and was quickly sliding towards me.
I rushed forward. "I've gottcha." I said as I caught her in my hooves.
She pushed herself up from my chest and looked me in the eyes.
"You okay?" I asked. I got no answer as she kept looking at me as if she was in a trance.
"Errr….hello." I said trying to snap her out of it.
She shook her head, "Oh…..yeah sorry." She said sheepishly. She pushed herself off of me, "I'm Twilight Sparkle, what's your name?" She asked as she held out her hoof.
"Matthew, but you can call me Matt." I answered as I shook her hoof. As I did, little sparks began to form around Twilights horn.
"Errr, I think there's something up with you horn." I said in concern.
She looked up at her horn and tapped it with her hoof, "Sorry, that's never happened before." The sparks then stopped.
There was a moments silence between us until I decided to break the silence. "Anyway, I'm new in Ponyville and I ran into one of your friends Applejack, she said you could give me a tour and I was just wondering if you could!".
A small smile appeared on her face. "Of cause, but first can I ask you something?"
"Sure." I answered.
"Can I have my hoof back?" she asked nervously.
I looked down to see I was still holding her hoof. I blushed slightly and let go. Awkward!
"We….better get going." Twilight suggested slightly blushing herself.
"Yeah, we don't want to keep it too late." I quickly said, trying to drawn to awkwardness.
We both said goodbye to Spike and made our way into town. Along the way, not only did I notice a few ponies eyeing me but I noticed Twilight turn to look at me at some points and when I turn to look at her she'd quickly turn away.
We walked to Sugar Cube Corner and upon arriving there I saw a pink pony up ahead. Oh no.
"Hey Pinkie Pie." Twilight yelled out. Pinkie Pie turned to face us with a big smile on her face.
"Het twilight, how's it hang-(GASP)" Pinkie Pie didn't finish her sentence as she gasped loudly when she noticed me, she then ran right up to us until she was right in my face.
"Are you a new pony, ooh I love new ponies it always a new opportunity to make a new friend and throw a party, where you from? What's your name? (GASP) wait here!" Pinkie Pie said as she sprang off.
Should've seen that coming. "What the friv just happened?" I asked very confused.
"Pinkie Pie just happened." Twilight answered.
A second later, Pinkie Pie returned with a waggon attached to her back.
I was almost afraid to ask but, "What's that." I asked nervously.
"This is my welcome waggon. I show it to all new ponies, wanna hear the song that comes with it?" Pinkie Pie asked with a big smile on her face.
I didn't want to upset her so. "Fine, let's hear it" I said.
Twilight then looked a little nervous. "Errr Matt, I don't think that's a good…" Twilight didn't have time to finish her sentence as Pinkie Pie pressed the red button on the waggon.
Suddenly, the waggon turned into a big accordion player with confetti cannons, flags, trumpets and what looked like an oven in the middle. The machine started to play music and Pinkie Pie started to sing.
"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
A fine welcome to you
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
I say how do you do?
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
I say hip hip hurray
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
To Ponyville today."
"Wait for it!" Pinkie Pie said
Suddenly, confetti burst on of the oven and some sort of yellow goo burst out of the cannons.
As the goo got closer to ground, Twilight moved to the side and the goo landed on me and Pinkie Pie, covering us both.
Pinkie pie licked the goo of herself. "Oops, I guess I put the confetti in the oven and the cake in the confetti cannons."
"Again" I added
"How did you know" Pinkie asked with a smile still on the face.
Nice going Matt, "Errr….lucky guess." I said hoping she'd buy it.
Pinkie then looked at me suspiciously, but then the smile returned to her face "Oki Doki loki."
"Pinkie, aren't you late for something?" Twilight asked hoping she was.
"OH HAY STACK'S, YOUR RIGHT." Pinkie said in shock and then sprang off.
Twilight then walked back over to me, I was still covered in cake.
"Sorry about that, Pinkie's just a little…..over hyper." Twilight said with a sheepish smile.
"Don't be, I liked the music, but the cake I could have lived without." I said wiping the cake out my eyes.
Twilight's horn then started to glow. "Here, let me take care of that!"
The next second, all the cake disappeared off of me until I was completely clean. "Thanks" I said.
Twilight had a warm smile on her face. "Don't mention it. Hey I just remembered, all my friends are at the café, you have to meet them. Follow me."
We both started to walk towards the café side by side.
When we finally made it to the café, I saw the rest of the main 6 on a table together talking; they then noticed us and invited us over.
When we walked over to them, Rarity was the first to notice me. "Who's your friend Twilight." she asked.
"This is Matthew." Twilight then turned to me "Matt, this is Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack." She said pointing at each of her friends.
"Howdy Matt." Applejack called out waving her hoof.
"Hey Applejack." I said back to her waving my hoof back.
We then joined them on the table and we all got to talking.
"So Matthew, where you from?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Think Matt, think. "Errr….Manehatten." I answered quickly.
Rainbow Dash suddenly got a grin on her face "Really, I hear you can learn cool flying moves there."
"Yeah you can, I learnt a lot there." I said while taking a sip of my drink.
"Well then, show us what you got!" Rainbow Dash asked I delight.
I put down my drink and walked to an open space. "OK. All I have to do is flap my wings and fly." I thought nervously.
I then flapped my wings and I started hovering in the air. But, the hovering didn't last as I fell to the ground with a hard thud.
"Errr…are you sure you learned moves in Manehatten?" Rainbow Dash asked trying not to laugh.
I then got up from the ground and went back to the table "Ok I'll admit it, I don't exactly know how to fly."
There was a moments silence before Rainbow Dash burst out laughing. "How can you not know how to fly, you have to be in your teen years and you don't know how to fly."
I blushed a little in embracement. "Well I just need practice that's all." I protested.
Rainbow Dash then stopped laughing. "Well, I'm not doing anything tomorrow so I can teach you."
I smiled a little. "Thanks Dash, I'll be there."
She then grinned again. "Yeah, it'll be funny to watch you fall on your face some more." She then laughed a little.
I just smiled and shook my head.
While I was talking to the others, Rarity leaned over to Twilight and started whispering to her.
"Twilight he's a charm, what was it you said before? Like my perfect colt's just going to walk into the library today, what an ironic twist." Rarity said with a smirk on her face.
Twilight nearly spat her drink out but covered her mouth; she then swallowed her drink so she could speak. "He's not my coltfriend, we just met." She protested while blushing slightly.
"Well Twilight you should try. I mean, he's a nice pony, he's funny, kind and has a delightful accent." Rarity said
"Look, I just met him and I don't want to scare him off by trying to start a relationship with him too soon." Twilight argued.
"Too soon? So you DO like him." Rarity said with a grin.
Twilight's face went completely red and she leaned closer to Rarity "Well….kinda, but I don't want to come on too strong." Twilight said in a quiet voice.
Rarity nodded. "OK, here's what you do, take it slow, be nice whenever you can and be yourself."
"Twilight had doubts for a second but decided to accept it "OK, I'll try."
2 hours later, we all said our goodnights and I walked Twilight back to the library. When we got there, she opened the door and turned to me.
"Today was fun Matt, I'm glad my friends like you." She said with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I like them too. Their just as I imagined"
Twilight then gave me a confused look "Huh?"
CRAP. "I mean….their just as I imagined ponies would be like in Ponyville…..cool and fun to be around." I said with a nervous smile.
Today was a good day, and I don't think there's anything that can ruin it.
Twilight's smile returned "Oh ok, so where are you staying in Ponyville?"
DAMN IT.
"Well, I…..Errr…..well to be honest I don't exactly have a place to stay." I confessed.
A look of concern came on her face. "You're homeless? Well I have a guest room; you can stay there if you like?"
I was surprised by her offer. "You'd let me stay with you? Even though we just met."
Twilight then gave me a warm smile. "Sure, you seem like a nice pony and...you're nice to be around." She said blushing slightly
I didn't notice her blushing but I gave her a warm smile. "Thanks Twi." We both then entered the library and went upstairs to find Spike asleep in his basket. Twilight then opened the guest room door.
"This is the guest room; I hope you like it and feel free to read any of the books." Twilight said as I entered the room.
The guest room was big; it had a pile of pillows in the corner to sit on, three large book shelves and a large bed with a window. "I like it, thanks Twi."
"Well, goodnight Matt, see you in the morning." Twilight said as she left the room.
"Goodnight Twi." I said back. She then shut the door, leaving me alone. I then went over to one of the book shelves and pulled out a book called Daring Doo and the jade horse shoe.
I then lied down on the bed and started to read the book. Ending a good day.
Sorry it took so long, you would not believe the distractions.
Anyway, I want to let everypony know that I finally have Mortal Kombat 9 and if anypony wants to challenge me on PlayStation Network just tell me what your PSN user name is so I can recognise you and what time you want to fight.
Some of you might recognize the song from the episode A Friend in Deed, which I do not own.
As always, goodnight everypony and next chapter will be up soon.
P.S. everypony knows that the Matt in the story is me, Right? So if any pony wants to see what my/my characters pony form looks like, just look at my avatar and I'll add the cutie mark in future chapters.
