Some kind of object hits you in the flank. As you open your eyes, you are greeted by sunlight, which your eyes are not accustomed to yet. You cover the sun with your hooves, and put them back down when your eyes are better. You look on the ground of the chariot and see a rock that wasn't there before. You assume that's what hit you. You look towards where the rock came from, and see the two pegasai flying the chariot. One of them calls back, "You awake now, sir?"

You reply, "Yeah, yeah, I'm up."

"That's good to here, sir. We will be arriving in Ponyville very soon. I recommend you fix yourself up before getting there. Wouldn't want all those mares to get a bad impression, if you know what I mean." He added a maniacal smirk after saying that.

You roll your eyes at his comment, but listen to him anyway. You pull out a mirror from your small cart and examine yourself. You look presentable. Even so, you take out your manebrush and give your mane a couple of swipes. Once satisfied, you put them away and look out of the chariot. You see a small town with many ponies walking around, and notice the sky. It was raining around the town, but it looked like there was no rain on the town itself. After more examining, you notice that there is rain to your left and right, but none ahead of you nor behind you. While examining the clouds, you notice that there is a giant line of no clouds you were flying under. How peculiar...

As if the one pegasus was a mind reader, he said, "Isn't it impressive? Ponyville is the only known earth pony village to have it's own weather system. The pegasai control it, giving the town as much rain needed to live, but not too much to annoy everyone. Today was scheduled to rain, but on hearing of your entrance, they gladly cleared a path for us to get here without getting wet."

Wow. This amazes you, and you stare at the sky again with admiration. The sun itself was fully visible through the cleared sky above Ponyville, and it looked very awkward being light during a complete rainstorm.

By the time you are done staring, the pegasai are making their descent. You quickly fix yourself up, and the chariot lands in the center of the town. There were many odd buildings surrounding you. One building seems to be coated in frosting and has the appearance of a gingerbread house. Another was circular and tall, and had a purple and light-blue coloring around it. It had dresses in the windows and two fake ponies were at the tip, going around it like a carousel. The biggest building was tall with two stories, and was surrounded by many small support beams.

Noticing you have been on the ground for a while, and after hereing a certain pegasus hinting you to get off, you grab your cart with your belongings and leave the chariot. As you thank the pegasai for the ride, they neigh in response, and take flight and leave. You look around again and see many ponies staring at you. One, who was pink, was charging you at a very high velocity. Before you can react, she stops next to you without slowing down and sais,
"HellomynameisPinkyPieYournewhereWhatsyournameminesPinkyPieOhwhoopsIalreadytoldyouthisSorryletshaveaparty!OhhdoyoulikepartiesIlikepartiestheyaresofunandIloveitwhenothersenjoythemtoosoIwaswonderingof-" Thankfully, an orange pony cuts her off mid run-on sentence before the author forgets how to properly write again and before you get tired of scrolling off of the page.

"Now, sugarcube, you may wanna slow down. I don't think he, let alone myself, have a clue what you just said.

The pony responded, "Ooohh, well let me repeat myself, then. MynameisPinkyPieyournewhere-"
As she rambles on in some long sentence, you ask the orange pony, "Does she do this to everyone?"

The orange pony nods. "Yeah, she does, but don't take it as an insult. She just likes to get to know everypony. Its all in good heart." You nod in agreement to her. "By the way, Ah'm Applejack, nice to meet ya, sir!" She puts out a hoof for you, and you shake it as you give her your name. You look back at the pink pony, who is still talking.

"-andthenIsaidtohim'HimynamesCommanderPinkyandthisismyfavoritestoreinthecitadel'andthenigotadiscountonmyassaultrifleand-" You attempt to cut off her rambling with a hoof to the mouth, but she continues to talk in a muffled voice. "-andmdenmahkilledmdamreapermthptwithmymoab-"

"Excuse me, ma'am, can you speak slower?" you ask.

"Shoooooore Aaaaaahhhhh ccccaaaaannnnn ssspppeeeaaakkk ssslllooowwweeerr iiifff yyyooouuu wwwaaannn-"

"Normal speed?"

"Okay, silly, why didn't you say so!" She put out a hoof. "My name is Pinky Pie, nice to meet you!" She makes a giant smile which creeps you out. Even so, you return the gesture and give her your name. "So do you want to have a party?"

"Well, sugarcube, I believe that he was supposed to meet up with Twi' when he came here, and Ah wanted to help him out with that. You can talk to him abaout that 'party' of yours later, okay?"

"Sure thing, Applejack!" And with that Pinky bounced away quickly. You stare at her with your mouth open wide.

You ask, "What was that?"

Applejack stares at Pinky with you. "That, mah friend, is Pinky Pie. You'll understand soon enough. Anyway, you needed to see Twah'light?"

You nod at her. "Yes, I do. DO you know where I could find her?"

"Yep, just follow me!"

The trot was short, mainly because the town was very small. She takes you to a giant tree in the middle of some part of town. So far, the layout confused you, just like the fact that the library was in a tree.

She trotted with you to the door, then said, "Well, this here is the library, and Twah'light lives right inside." She tipped her hat, you nod back, and she trots off. While walking away, you here her scream back, "Just so you know, the pegasai are still putting the rain back in town, so I recommend you knock now!" You look at her, and as you do, the rain starts pouring.

Great.

You knock on the door, and it is quickly opened, and you look up and see no pony. Confused, you just stand there and do nothing. You hear a voice that sounded like a little kid, "Um, are you just gonna stand there, or are you going to get in here already?"

You look down and see a baby dragon. How much weirder can this town get? You nod to the dragon and get inside quick. When you get in, the dragon closes the door behind you, and you wipe your hooves on the carpet. WHen you are done, the dragon screams, "Twilight! Your visitor is here!"

"One moment!" came the reply.

You stand there with the dragon in an awkward silence. You look down at your hooves and twiddle them around when the dragon spoke up. "Hi. My name's Spike. Nice to meet you!"

You give him your name, and then say, "May I ask why a dragon like you is living in a tree-library with ponies?"

Spike giggles. "Heh, you make it sound very weird." Possibly because it is! "Twilight came here from Canterlot so she could study friendship." What? "She hatched me from an egg for an exam in Canterlot. Ever since then, I've been like her little brother."

"Okay then..." Is about all you can say.

"You'll get used to it. Ponyville isn't your normal town, if you haven't figured out yet."

"I can tell..."

At that moment, a lavender unicorn walked down from the stairs and said, "Hello! I assume your the guard Celestia was talking about in the letter?"

You nod in agreement and give her your name. You hold out a hoof to her, which she shakes while giving her name.

"Well, I was originally planning to trot with you around town and show you all the important buildings, but I was only informed of the storm a couple hours ago..." Twilight gave Spike a cold stare.

He rolled his eyes. "Well, maybe if somepony would listen to me when I talk to them instead of reading about astronomy, they might have known."

Twilight gave a weak smile, and you can't help but to let out a laugh. Well, she lives up to her reputation alright.

She continued, "I planned on showing you around today, but since I can't, I'll just show you around the library, and then show you your house."

"Works with me." Twilight walked around the library, showing you all of the different sections of the library, her room, her mini-astronomy, and so on. She ended the tour at a window in her house. There, she pointed him to his house. It was similar to all of the other simple houses in the town. It was small, with two stories, and a large wedge at the top. The only difference was that the door wasn't the same color of the house, it was all white with your cutie mark in the center; a blue shield. "I'll take you to your house now, if you want' Don't worry about the rain, I have a spell that works like an umbrella."

You take her up on her offer, and when you leave, she puts up an impressive magical shield around them as they walk.Maybe I should ask her how to do that later...

You get to the door quickly. Twilight hands you the keys to the door, and you use your magic to open it up. You quickly run inside, and look back at Twilight and you give her a small salute. She nods back and begins to walk away. You close the door quickly to prevent any more rain from getting into your house. Well, that was an interesting welcome party.
