Weightlessness, have you ever had that dream where you could do anything? I have heard of the dream state were you are in control of everything that goes on, I think it was called lucid dreaming. However my mind was not so fortunate. I was stuck in some sort of recurring nightmare involving some very familiar ponies.

Running. I seemed to be doing a lot of that crap in this dream, everytime I had lost one of them another would pop up. You could say my head was full of shit like that or how my current mind set was just projecting them over my other fears. One time I had an idea just to stop and let them catch me, however three burns later and that idea was out of the fucking proverbial window. I could see the dream was getting more intense, as every corner I ran around two or three of these ponies would be there; grinning at me. It was only when I got pinned against a wall and the purple pony called Twilight melted my face off did I wake up in the oh so girliest way possible; a loud scream.

“Ahhhhh!” I sat up quickly, only to bash my head on something hard. “Ugh! What was that?”

I opened my eye's, rubbing my forehead to see Applejack doing the same thing.

“Applejack, What the hell!” I shout. “Where am I?” I asked considering I was now in a bed. A some what small bed, no seriously my legs were hanging off the edges.

“Sorry John, You were screaming, so ah came to see if you were alright.” Applejack replies still nursing her head.

“What were you doing being so close to me?”

“I-I uh! Ah tried shaking you awake but you was really out of it!” I found her answer to be quick almost like she practised it.

“OK, so where are the others?” I question.

“Their all down stairs...” Applejack looks me in the eye's. “...We're all sorry John for what happened earlier, Twilight thought you escaped so she hit you with a sleep spell.”

“Yeah well, can you tell her that next time she uses that shit again, to not put so much kick into it; damn thing almost broke my ribs!” I say.

“Ah'll try, anyway what was your dream about? It seemed to scare you a lot!”

“Well it was about you.” I reply. Applejacks face seem to redden, how the fuck is that even possible? They have fur!

“M-Me!?” She splutters out.

“Well, it was all of you chasing me down and trying to kill me. You all did succeed though with Twilight burning my face off.” After my answer Applejacks let's out a sigh as if she was relieved about something but I just shrugged it off. “So? What happens to me now?”

“What do you mean?” Applejack asks.

“I am going to be stuck here it seems, so am I going to be held in prison or stasis or something?”

“No! Ah mean no, the princesses have put me and the others in charge of you.” Applejack replies.

“Really? I guess since you are the only one's that know i'm here, I think that would be best.”

“You have no problems with that?” Applejack asks.

“Not really, I mean all this is still freaking weird beyond my understanding but i'm sure I can adapt eventually.”

“You are a strange creature John.” She states giving out a small laugh, I seemed to have made a friend; yay for me!

“I'm human but I thank you for the compliment.” I give her a small grin as she looks at me confused.

The next several minutes was spent talking about where I was and what the place was called. Seems I was in a town called Ponyville, though I stated I new the lands name from the princess before she left. Applejack had left the room after I asked again about what they had in store for me. She came back five minutes later with the others ponies in tow.

“John, Twilight will explain what's going to happen.”

“OK, Go right ahead Twilight.” I say.

“Well, if you're going to be here for a while, I think it would be better introducing you to the town sooner rather than later. You know, get all the shock and awe out of the way first!” Twilight explains.

“I could see how that would be better, but how would they react to me?” I ask.

“I don't know, ponies here can be understanding. If you take a calm approach.”

“Calm OK, I can do that.” I reply.

“Really? Because you kinda freaked out when you woke up earlier!” Rainbow Dash retorts.

“Well, so would you! Tied to a chair when one garment away from balls hanging loose!”

“Uh? Balls hanging loose?” Rainbow asks, giving me a raise eyebrow.

“Just a human thing! Anyway when do you want to do it?” I ask turning to Twilight.

“I think next week would be fine, I will go and talk to Mayor Mare and get it set up.”

“You go do that, mean while I’ll just lay here and think about how not to fuck this up.” I say, giving the ponies a small wave.

“Y'all be fine sugercube, don't worry about it!” Applejack says before leaving with the others.

“Yeah, fine!” I say to myself, dreading the wait.

**** **** ****

I throw open the door.

“Never again Twilight! Seriously how can you even say that went well?”

Twilight enters after me and looks confused.

“What do you mean? I thought that went really well. Considering we had to wait a week!”

“W-Well?” I splutter. “Some pony out there threw an apple at me! An apple! Do you have any idea how much that hurt!?” Twilight looks to the floor with her ears pressed back. “And do you know what really tops it off! Only you defended me! While the others just stood there! If you guys are going to take care of me and show me how Equestria works! Then maybe that stretches to helping me not get hit in the face by fucking fruit!”

“OK so maybe it didn't go as smooth as I thought, but after the incident everypony calmed down and even Mayor Mare said a few words. Surly that has to count for something?” Twilight replies.

“I suppose, but I just felt like such an idiot. I couldn't even speak when you offered me the stage! What kind of person am I going to be if I can't even say hello to the town? Where I come from that's called stage fright and I never had stage fright!” I sit over on the library staircase and place my head in my hands. “Look at me Twilight! I feel so alone, I lost everything when I came here and I think it's going to take awhile to get over that. I know the princesses are looking for a way to send me back but how long is that going to take? Until they can say for sure that they can send me back, I guess here I where I will stay.”

I lift up my head and see Twilight staring at me tears lining her cheeks.

“Hey! Don't you cry near me misses, you might make me start.”

“I'm so sorry about what you have gone through, but it has only been one week. Give it a chance, you never know; one day you might meet somepony.” Twilight says.

“Really? Somepony? Twilight i'm human, how would that even work?”

“What? You anatomy isn't that much different from ours, only problem I could see is DNA conflicts; if you know what I mean!” Twilight walks up the stairs giving me a friendly hip bump.

“Twilight, you sprout some shit, you know that right?”

“Hmm, depends on your perspective.” Twilight states giggling.

“Wait! did you just call me dumb?”

“Maybe?” Twilight replies.

“Right! That's it misses know it all, you're for it now!” I say chasing Twilight up the stairs causing her to laugh.

So by now I had been in Equestria for a week, I won't bore you with the details of said week but let's just say this. I got to know the girls a lot better, I even got a small job at Applejacks farm! It's not much but it helps to stay off boredom. Funny thing was though Twilight had to magic me there everytime, and the first time it wasn't pleasant. Guess humans don't 'teleport' well, I came out the other side and I chucked up my breakfast. Applejack and Twilight was understanding, but when I met Applejacks brother Big Mac, man did I really shit my pants. I mean the guy was fecking huge! I'm six feet tall and he was almost the same height.

Though once you got to know him, if you could get him to talk that is! He wasn't such a bad guy err pony. When I work on the farm I mainly just follow around Applejack and help carry buckets of apples, it's not the most pleasing job; but i'm glad I can be useful. I even helped out Rarity in her shop. I never knew ponies could be so creative, the clothes and outfits Rarity makes would of made Jackies eye's water. Though they were mainly made for females. Also Rarity insisted on making me some clothes to 'replace' the items I 'lost'.

I can tell you now she does good work. In two days I had several tops, trousers and even some hats and a jacket. I was told by the others that Rarity was the element of generosity, what ever that meant. I managed to come to an agreement though that if I help around her store, I could work off what I owe her. I hadn't really seen much of Rainbow or Fluttershy that week, which was weird but the others explained about Rainbows job and what she does. Fluttershy had to go to Canterlot every two months for some pick up, and she stayed with friends there.

Pinkie was the weirdest by far, she even put back the party she was planning for me until after the introduction to the town. Something about how she didn't want the party guests to run away or something like that! She just speaks to damn fast, and I learned that the hard way.

**** **** ****

I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and good about myself, I smile as I remember the tickle punishment I gave Twilight last night. I came to realise that Twilight was like the little sister I never had, she was smart, funny(when she wants to be), and organised. I was still along way from being fully OK with this whole situation though and I guess seeing Twilight as family was just one step towards that. I quickly broke out of my thoughts as Twilights voice called from the other side of the bedroom door.

“John! Are you up?”

“Yes Twilight, just this moment in fact.” I reply. “You can come in, it's not like i'm indecent or anything.”

I see the bedroom door open and Twilight pokes her head around.

“Morning, sleep well?” Twilight asks.

“Yeah, very well for once. Guess my head is slowly getting over the whole 'i'm going to be here for awhile'.”

“Well, I came to ask if you would like to come out with me and the girls, it's just to the local lake. It's a kind of...well done trip we thought to give you.” Twilight says giving me a smile.

“I think that would be great, it's a nice day to relax outside and I couldn't think of any ponies I would rather spend it with.” I state walking passed Twilight and giving her mane a ruffle.

“Hey!” Twilight shouts putting her mane back into place.

I just laugh as I spot Spike leaving the bathroom.

“Morning Spike, Nice day isn't it?”

“For some maybe, yeah!” Spike replies.

“Whoa! Where did that come from?” I ask putting my hands up.

“Sorry John, just had a letter through from Princess Celestia. I have to go to Canterlot. Why? I have no idea. But it did sound important.”

“Well, hope you have a good trip then!” I say.

“Yeah, see you later dude!” Spike holds out his balled up claws to which I bump my fist against.

I returned to my wake up routine, getting a shower and making myself presentable. I was never the every hair has a place type but I still had sense not to look like a complete knob when I walked outside. heading down stairs I spot Twilight packing a hamper basket.

“Twilight I just noticed something, I have no Swimwear.” I state.

“Ah yes! Rarity made this for you last night.” Twilight levitates up a bag.

I reach into the bag and pull out two sets of shorts and two sets of vest tops.

“Rarity made these?”

“Yep, She's good at things like that!”

“I'll thank her when we get to the lake then!” I say.

“Yeah we'll be meeting the rest there.”

“Twilight?” I look towards her and bend down on one knee. “Thanks, for everything.”

“Oh shush! It's been good having you here, I hope you find a way home but if that doesn't happen you still have us.” Twilight says throwing her fore legs around my neck in a hug.

And so after that grand soppy moment, me and Twilight decided to actually leave or the others would wonder what we are up to. And I can tell you they have some really over active imaginations.

It took roughly 40 minutes for me and Twilight to reach the lake, at first we couldn't see the girls until some loud shrill followed by a pink blob smacked into me and pinned me down.

“Hi Pinkie.” I say in a some what unamused tone.

“Hijohnhowisgoing!?” Pinkie says.

“Pinkie, you do know there are gaps between words?”

“Nahiliketalkinglikethis,it'sfun!” Pinkie grins at me.

I pick up Pinkie and move her to the side so I can get up.

“One day Pinkie, i'm going to eat lots of sugar and see what the world looks through your eye's.” I say followed by a laugh. I also stoop down and pick up my bag of swimwear that oh so gracefully fell under me.

“Youcantry!butitmightbegoodtohaveahighmate!” Pinkie states bouncing away.

“High mate?” I ask to Twilight.

“I have no idea.” Twilight says.

After the close encounter of the high kind, we find the others lazing about on several towels and a luxury seat in Rarity case.

“Hey girls, How's it going?”

“John!” They all say in unison.

“It's so nice to see you out and about darling!” Rarity states waving a hoof.

“Twilight told me you girls thought up this trip as a 'well done' award because of yesterday.”

“Darn right!” Applejack adds, “You done well standin' up there an all. So we all thought you deserved some R'n'R!”

“Thanks girls I really appreciate this, I really do!”

“Nothing to it 'humie',” I hear Rainbow from above chuckle.

“You come down here and say that...Dashie!” I shout back.

“Hey! No pony calls me Dashie! unless it's Pinkie.” Rainbow states landing before me.

“Oh Yeah!” I say.

“Yeah!” Rainbow retorts leaning closer to me.

“OH YEAH!” I shout louder.

“YEAH!” Dash flies up into my face.

“Oh, OK then!”

I grab Dash in a bear hug right out of the air and proceed to walk to the waters edge, Dash however was starting to struggle. But with me being taller and longer armed, she was pinned. When I made it to the water Dash was trying to slip out of my grip.

“Come on! This ain't funny!” Dash shouts, panicking.

I lean towards her head and whisper into her ear.

“Dash I have one word, one word to say what i'm going to do! One word to bring all your fears to bare!”

“W-What's That?” I think at this point Dash was really scared.

“CANNONBALL!” I shout, jumping straight into the water.

Fuck it! I was going to have fun today and if I had to take ponies down with me, then by buggery is my witness. I was taking them down. I didn't even care that I jumped in with my clothes on! I really wanted to see Rarity’s face but as the saying goes... Oh who gives a shit! I just think it's funny!
