Author's notes: Right, here's part 3. And the main 6 meet up with the fat director for the 1st time.

Acceptance

Narrator: The next morning, Pinkie Pie was the first one awake. She was going to make breakfast for everyone and everypony in the campsite, when she found a strange little shiny flute thingy hanging on the wall.

Pinkie Pie: Oooh, shiny. I wonder what this mini flute sounds like.

Narrator: She took a deep breath and blew.
PPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP! Went the shiny mini flute thingy, making everyone jump awake in startle.

Rarity: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Applejack: YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Fluttershy: DAAHH!

Twilight Sparkle: YAAAHH! I'm still awake Celestia! Don't worry. I'm not slacking off!

Rainbow Dash: SSSSSDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I SURRENDER SERGEANT MAJOR SPITFIRE MAM!

William: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SIR! I SURRENDER SERGEANT MAJOR SIR!

Rachel: AAAAAAAAHHHHH! I WAS PAYING ATTENTION MISS SEYMOUR DON'T ACCUSE ME!

Narrator: Pinkie looked at everyone and everypony still wearing pyjamas, messy manes and hair, and startled and bewildered expressions on their faces.

Pinkie Pie: Good morning everybody! What's with all the screaming?

William: What the devil?

Applejack: What in tar-nation? Pinkie Pie, what the hay was that?

Narrator: Pinkie Pie pulled out the shiny thing.

Pinkie: All I wanted to do was play this shiny flute thingy.

Narrator: William stormed up and snatched the whistle out Pinkie's hooves and scolded her crossly.

William: Don't ever do that again Pinkie Pie! That's not a flute. It's a railway guards whistle. Well it was my grandfathers, but it's used to signal train crews in and out of the stations. It's a really big safety measure, and no one should play with these you silly filly.

Narrator: Pinkie Pie then gave a look like a sad little puppy and whimpered too, making William feel bad and sorry for her.

William: Oh. I just can't stay mad at you. I'm sorry I yelled at you Pinkie, you didn't know better. At least now you know, so we'll say no more about it. Uh, just don't do that again please. (Chuckle) I think you almost woke the forest up with that blast.

Rainbow Dash (Clearing her ears) Man I think you broke the sound barrier of my sonic rainbooms with that blast. Uuughh!

Narrator: William chuckled.

William: Oh that's nothing Rainbow Dash. You should here some the whistle that our engines make. They're louder than a marching band.

Narrator: Pinkie Pie just grinned.

Pinkie: Thank you for your apology, and I'm sorry too. I Pinkie promise it won't happen again. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

Narrator: Everyone soon a good laugh afterwards. Later, after breakfast, the cavalcade soon packed up and all piled into Williams ancient 1915 7 seater pierce arrow model 48 7 passenger touring car, which was a gift from his father. And headed down the dusty road towards Vicarstowns. Rainbow Dash didn't mind flying alongside, as there was no room for her in the car. The six ponies stared in admiration, as the cavalcade traveled over mountains through foothills, along the coast, across estuary's and through the towns. Some people stared at them but William just drove on.

Rachel: Just take no notice of those squatters. They just never met any unique ponies like you.

Narrator: The ponies felt reassured.

Rachel: So you 6 are from Equestria. What is it like there?

Narrator: Applejack told Rachel and William all about the east, the south and south west sides of equestria including Baltimare, Fillydelphia and Manehatten. Rarity told them about some her favorite places in both west and north west sides and some bits about Canterlot. Rainbow Dash told them about Los Pegasus,and Cloudsdale and about that time she won the best young flyers award. Pinkie Pie told the Will and Rachel about the rock farm she used to work in and about Ponyville and where everyone lived. Fluttershy told them all about her favourite forests, and Twilight told them more about Canterlot and about the Princesses, Celestia and Luna.

Rachel: Wow. It sounds like a paradise over there.

Twilight Sparkle: Indeed it is, though we may have had some set backs in the past like we mentioned. But none the less, it is a paradise.

Rachel: (Sighs wistfully) Oh I'd love to visit your world one of these days.

Narrator: Twilight Sparkle looked thoughtful. Then she smiled.

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe you and William will someday.

Narrator: Finally, they reached Vicarstown.

William: Alright, here we are, Vicarstown Station. Now then, I'll need to have all of 7 of you to come with me.

Rarity: Whatever for?

William: Sir Topham Hatt along with myself and many great sudrian historians have been researching this trans dimensional phenomenon.

Narrator: The ponies were apprehensive.

Twilight: But what if we all get into trouble? I'm sure the Princesses would never approve of this, and if Sir Topham Hatt finds out you'll probably get fired.

Narrator: William and Rachel smiled.

Rachel: Look, if this dimension has talking machines in here than I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt will be more than reasonable.

William: Come on, trust me. Sir Topham hatt has researched this island since his days at knapford university.

Narrator: Reluctantly, the ponies agreed and went with William and Rachel. A stout director was sitting in the office reading what looked like a history book about Sodor when someone knocked on the door. A secretary came in.

Secretary: Excuse me sir, but Mister Holden and a young girl wish to have a meeting with you Sir.

Fat Director: Sure. Send them in.

Narrator: The secretary walked out to fetch the two of them. In the waiting room, William and Rachel were explaining to the ponies on how to introduce themselves to Fat Director.

William: Okay now listen carefully. Twilight, I've arranged this with Mrs. Nobs. And she agrees to allow to introduce yourselves along with us to Sir Topham Hatt, the director of the railway.

Rachel: So when the door opens you come in and we and you introduce yourselves to him. Then, explain that you girls mean no harm to the railway or to anyone, you got it?

Mane 6: Yes Rachel, we will.

Narrator: The secretary walked up to them.

Secretary: Okay Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens, Sir Topham Hatt will see you now.

Narrator: She winked at Twilight and strode away as William and Rachel walked in.

William & Rachel: Greetings Sir.

Fat Director: Ah yes Good afternoon young William Holden. Once again I congratulate you on your promotion to driver, so what is that you want to speak to me about.

William: Well you remember my friend Rachel, Sir.

Narrator: The Fat Director stood up and shook her hand.

Fat Director: Ah yes the famous university writer. How do you do Miss Ravens?

Rachel: Very well Sir. Thank you Sir. Anyway, do you recall the famous tale about that old Harwick line in the northern most section of Sodor?

Fat Director: Ah yes. The old line that used horses to run the line, and I did hear a myth about some special ponies working there via through a magic portal. I also heard that they helped to build the line and then worked for many other pre grouping railways until they vanished completely. I take it you made a discovery up there?

William: You'd be surprised Sir at what… or who we discovered.

Narrator: The Fat Director looked confused.

Fat Director: Whatever do you mean young William?

Narrator: William took a deep breath and the explained.

William: Well Sir, try to not be too startled. But we'd like to introduce our new discovery to you.

Narrator: Outside the office, the ponies were all waiting in a little suspense when the door open and William poked his head out.

William: We're ready for you now.

Narrator: The ponies took a deep breath then a little neverous the trotted inside.

Twilight: Here we go girls.

Narrator: In the office, the fat director to his surprise and bewilderment heard the sound of horse hooves clip clopping into the office. The next moment, his eyes widened with wonderment..

Fat Director: Bless my soul, so the myths were true.

Twilight Sparkle: Greetings your lordship.

Narrator: The Fat Director was in awe of what the purple mare just said. This was the first time he had heard a pony talk.

Fat Director: Great Scot! And I thought that engines were the only ones who could talk on this world. Now I know for a fact that the rumors are true. I am most honored to meet you all. Miss... um.

Twilight Sparkle: Twilight Sparkle, Sir.

Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash, Sir.

Applejack: Name's Applejack, Sir.

Fluttershy: Umm... I'm Fluttershy, Sir.

Fat Director: Pardon?

William: It's alright. He's not going to hurt you.

Fluttershy: I'm Fluttershy, Sir.

Pinkie pie: I am Pinkie Pie!

Narrator: Pinkie Pie blew a party horn, causing William to panic.

William: Pinkie not now!

Narrator: The Fat Director laughed.

Fat Director: Ho Ho! It's alright there young William. She's quite an excitable little mare isn't she?

Rarity: I am Rarity. A pleasure making your acquaintance, your lordship.

Fat Director : Ho ho ho, there there miss Rarity. Nobody calls me anything that formal. So where did you all come from, and how did you all wind up here?

Narrator: Twilight Sparkle told him everything from the buffers to rock face and the history book. The fat director, William Holden, and Rachel Ravens were all amazed.

Twilight Sparkle: And that's pretty much it sir. We've come to experience what this island has to offer. Your driver friend here Mr. Holden and Miss. Ravens said that you can get us a job on the railway.

Fat Director : Wow. Well I'll be. And yes. I will see that these young beautiful mares will have a job on my railway.

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you sir. Um, just one thing. I'm just little concerned about people seeing us in public.

Narrator: The Fat controller smiled.

Fat Director: Don't worry Twilight. I will speak will speak to the Duke of Sodor and inform him and my staff here of the matter immediately. You 6 shouldn't worry. If the people of this world are used to seeing talking trains, then you have nothing to worry about.

Narrator: With that, the 6 ponies along with William and Rachel, respectfully left while the Fat Director went to take care of the matter.

Ok guys, we are on a role. Look out for the final part of the "How It All Began" saga.
