Chapter Two: So This Is My New Home?

Second chapter, hopefully people actually like this story, if you do please review and such. Enjoy the second chapter.

"And so my new life begins." I thought, as long as I had no idea how I actually got here, there was no way I was going back home, and to be honest, living in Ponyville was starting to seem like it'd be pretty good. Of course I'd still need a place to live, and a sustainable income, and here I thought it was too early into my new life to start worrying about that, but I've been wrong before.

While Pinkie Pie was giving me a tour around, I had decided for the time being that I wasn't going to bring up my past as a human. I felt it'd just be too much to explain, instead, I was going to say I came from a land called Canterda, pretty clever I thought.

"So, where'd you live before you came here?" Pinkie Pie asked. Right on cue.

"Canterda." I replied. "So tell me, is there any vacant homes around here I could stay, 'Cause I don't really have a place to live, and it seems I'll be staying here." I said looking around.

"Hmmm, I don't think so, hey! Why don't you stay with me? I'd be happy to let you stay with me till you find somewhere to stay!" She said bouncing up and down with that big signature smile. I thought about it, or at least pretended to. I mean come on, this is a free place to stay in a place I'm definitely not leaving. Why? One, I had no idea how I could. Two, This is a chance to start over, make everything the way I want it to be. Be the man- er… now, pony I've always wanted to be.

"Ohh that'd be wonderful." I sighed, acting of course. "Your hospitality is so generous, You know… such kindness is pretty rare where I came from." I said with a frown. Give it up please, for the power of one short acting class.

"Oh really? I always thought Canternadians were really nice!" She said suddenly. I swear I almost choked. I thought I made Canterda up.

"Oh yeah, what else did you think about them? Always apologizing? Lots of maple trees? An arguably superior political system?" I said with a dry chuckle.

"Yes, yes, and what?" She said, a little confused at the last part of my joke.

"Err.. Never mind. Anyway, no. Not all Canternadians are nice, That's like saying all Cloudsdale residents are Wonderbolts, or every citizen of Canterlot has a unicorn horn up their… never mind." I replied.

"Okayyyy, So this is Sugar Cube Corner, I live up on the top floor! This is also where we're throwing your welcome party! It's gonna be so much fun!" She said jumping. As much as I wish I could have like… 12 Tylenol for the migraine I still had from everything that happened last night, or this morning, I had to admit a party for me had a nice ring to it.

"I can't wait!" I said smiling. "So what's next on the tour?" I said looking around at the bustling streets, well, as bustling as Ponyville gets.

"Well, since I also have invitations to give out for your welcome party, let's go visit Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres!" She said.

"Works for me, lead the way." I replied as we went on.

Later, Sweet Apple Acres

"That's a new one for sure Pinkie Pie." Applejack said in response to her telling the story of how I fell right out of the sky. "I can't say I believe it, but it's a new one."

"Mind if I interrupt?" I interjected. "Hi, Name's Chuck. Anyway, I can definitely testify to that story as it was me who fell from the sky, but, if you've fallen out of the sky before and you've had a more real experience with it, please, call my bluff." Granted, I sounded like a dick. But I had a bad migraine and that's how I get.

"Alright then." She replied dryly. "Anyway, Pinkie Pie, is there anything else? I do have work to do ya know."

"Oh yeah! You, Big Mac, Granny Smith, and Applebloom are all invited to Chuck's welcome party!" She said happily.

"Well alright, I'm sure we can make it, see ya then." She said happily, to Pinkie Pie anyway, not to me, she didn't seem to like me, in all fairness I was kind of an ass, wait, donkeys live in Ponyville as well, is using ass as a derogatory term racist here?

"Awesome! Come Chuckie, let's go see Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie said turning towards town, I followed her, after waving a hoof to Applejack, who reluctantly returned the wave.

As we walked, I felt a bit down, I really did want everyone to like me, but I seemed to be doing a poor job at that, I mean it was kinda my fault. I decided from now on I'd try harder to get them all to like me. Yeah... Yeah I could do enough, we saw Rainbow Dash up in the air, upon seeing her, Pinkie Pie ran up to her, and I had to keep up, let me tell ya, running on four legs can be tough, especially when you weren't great when you only had two.

"RAINBOW DASH! DOWN HERE!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Hearing her, Rainbow Dash came down.

"Hey Pinkie Pie, what's up?" Rainbow Dash asked, I was still running behind Pinkie Pie, and came to a crashing and gasping hault. "Uhh Who's this guy?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"This is Chuck, he fell out of the sky!" She replied.

"-gasp- That's… -wheeze- right. Ugh. –ahem- Hello is this on? Testing, testing, okay my breath is back. Yep, that's right, used to live in Canterda." I said, glad I got my breath back.

"Okay then, hey Chuck, I'm Rainbow Dash." She said. We hoof shaked.

"Charmed." I replied. Huh, who'd have thought all it took to get someone to like you was to not be a dick.

"You wanna come to Chuck's welcome party?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Sure, why not?" She said. Well, this was going better than meeting Applejack, but in my defense my migraine was getting better. Still, I probably should apologize to Applejack later on.

"Alrighty! See ya there!" Pinkie Pie said, and we were off.

Meeting Rarity went well too, Twillight and Spike seemed happy to come, and I'm pretty sure Fluttershy said yes, in all honesty I was too busy wondering how the bear she looked after hadn't mangled Angel yet. Anyway, sooner or later we talked to everyone on her guest list.

Later, party time!

Finally my headache was all gone, and just in time to, it was party time! Everybody was there, there was music, food, all the necessities of a Perfect Pinkie Pie Party, How's that for alliteration?

"Great party Pinkie Pie, honestly I really appreciate everything your doing for me." I said, and I wasn't even acting, this was really turning into a great night.

"Aww shucks! Don't mention it!" She said. Soon, Twillight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash came over.

"Hey Pinkie Pie, great party as usual." Rainbow Dash said as the others nodded in agreement.

"Thanks! Glad you're all having a good time." Pinkie Pie responded. Everyone seemed quite happy indeed. I still felt a bit guilty about how I acted earlier towards Applejack though.

"Hey Applejack." I said, "Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked.

"Uh, sure I guess." She said, and we walked to where nobody else was.

"Look, I just want to apologize for how I acted earlier, I'm really a nice guy, I'm just a bit moody, especially when I have a headache, how about we put that behind us and start over?" I asked. I could have worded it better, but I'm not good at that when I'm stressed.

"You know what?" She said, "Sure. I'm Applejack, pleased to meet ya." She said, extending her hoof as if we just met now.

I smiled. "And I'm Gareth, but my friends call me Chuck, so just call me Chick." I said shaking her hoof. Meanwhile, the others were having their own conversation.

"You're letting him stay with you? You barely know him!" Twilight said.

"So? He's nice! He just needs a place to stay for a while, that's all." She said, staring at me.

"He could be a serial killer!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I eat a big bowl of Oaty O's every morning, guess that makes me a cereal killer too!" Pinkie Pie replied.

"I don't think you understand Pinkie Pie… Pinkie pie!" Twilight said, but Pinkie Pie wasn't listening, she was busy staring me from across the room.

"Oh merciful heavens!" Rarity exclaimed. "You don't… like this Stallion do you?" She asked Pinkie Pie, getting her attention.

"WHAT!? Hahahaha… no! What?" Pinkie Pie said nervously.

"And that's why shes the element of laughter and not of honesty." Rainbow Dash whispered to Fluttershy, who then giggled.

"I'm telling you guys, I don't!" She said bashfully.

"Oh really?" Rainbow Dash said, "Prove it. Pinkie promise that you don't like him."

"Well… Uhh… About that…" Pinkie Pie hesitated. "Fine! Okay? I like him." She admitted.

"Knew it." Rainbow Dash said. They then all looked towards Pinkie Pie, who was blushing redder than a tomato in a bucket of red acrylic paint.

"It's true. He's a funny guy, He's charming, and kinda cute." Pinkie Pie said finally. "But if you guys don't like him, I'll tell him he has to find somewhere else to stay…" she said sadly.

The four exchanged looks. "Maybe I was a bit too harsh." Twilight admitted.

"So was I." Rarity said.

"To be honest, I think he's a nice guy too." Fluttershy added.

"You know? I think he's a stand up guy." Rainbow Dash said.

"Really? Oh thank you! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!" Pinkie Pie said jumping with joy and hugging them.

"Whats all this about?" Applejack said as we were walking back over.

"Nothing!" Pinkie pie said as nonchalant as she could.

"Okay… anyway, This was a great party, But I think Applebloom's getting tired, we'd best head home." Applejack said.

"And Spike and I should get back to the castle" Twilight added. Soon enough, the guests started leaving.

After everyone left, I was helping Pinkie Pie with cleanup. It was a great party, I got pretty well acquainted with everyone, even Discord, hilarious guy! I still don't really get why everyone took a long time to like him, sure there's the fact he made them hate each other, the other time he teamed up with Tirek... But we all make mistakes.

"Thanks again for everything Pinkie Pie." I said as I swept confetti. She was silent, until she finally spoke up.

"Are you a serial killer?" She asked suddenly.

"What?" I turned to face her.

"Uhh… Nothing." She said bashfully.

I chuckled. "Well, I love a good bowl of cereal at breakfast if that answers your question." That seemed to make her laugh.

"Hey! I've made that joke too!" She said.

"Aww drat. Ol' Chucks gotta get some new material then." I said with a smile. She smiled back. There was a bit of a silence. Pinkie Pie soon broke said silence.

"Anyway, do you think you'd like to maybe hang out tomorrow? I know a really nice picnic spot." She said, I could feel a tinge of nervousness in her voice.

"Well, I'd best see if I'm available…" I pretended to check an invisible appointment book, "Hey what do you know? I'm free, I'd love to!" I said. I swear I heard a small squeal of joy.

"Great! I can't wait!" She said.

"Likewise." I said, suddenly, I felt a yawn creep up on me. "I'm starting to feel kind of sleepy, I think I'm gonna hit the hay." I said.

"Silly, you don't hit the hay, you eat the hay!" she said with a giggle. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Goodnight Pinkie Pie, see you in the morning." I said going into the spare room.

"Goodnight Chuckie!" She said. The moment I closed the door she started quietly pumping her hooves and whispering "Yes! Yes ! Yes!"

I smiled settling into bed. I knew I was going to like it here in Ponyville, and I couldn't wait for the next day.
