Chapter 4
First expedition

After cleaning up his once again perfectly clean kitchen, Thomas started to make breakfast for himself and his new friends. He was still angry at them but he was constantly reminding himself that they had good intentions. After twenty minutes of making meal with gritted teeth he finally calmed down and a little smile returned to his face. After thinking about this whole situation without his anger, it actually seemed pretty hilarious and he decided to thank them later.

When he was making some scrambled eggs with bacon strips for himself, and a salad for girls he looked inside the fridge and realized something.

He was almost out of vegetarian food.

Thomas wasn’t one of these guys who loved meat over everything, he actually likes eating vegetables as much as eating meat, however since most his dishes were meat based, and green food served mostly as additions to the flavor, he was always being much more meat then vegan food, and since now he has 6 herbivorous guests he would very quickly run out of it.

After finishing his own breakfast as well as salad for girls, he called them to kitchen, where he would usually eat at the table in corner of the kitchen. He brought some extra chairs from living room and somehow they managed to sit at the table at the same time. Though it was a little narrowly.

Breakfast went great, girls were surprised at Thomas cooking skills. He never felt like he’s cooking is something special but since he started living on his own he had to learn how to cook something tasty and he started to take liking towards it.

When everyone, well actually considering 1:6 ratio, everypony finished their meal girls started chatting with each other. Thomas was relieved that they are taking this whole situation so well so he was little sad that he had to stop this conversation.

“Girls I have something important to say.”

Suddenly all of them stopped talking and aimed their attention towards him.

“We are running out of vegetarian food, we need to go to the marketplace and buy some more, so Twilight we will need your illusion spell already.”

Reactions to his statement were different for everypony.

Twilight gave him “I’m on it” look, Applejack looked like she didn’t care, Pinkie started to jump all over the kitchen, which strangely didn’t surprise Thomas at all. Fluttershy frowned, and Rarity showed a little excitement in her eyes. Rainbow Dash seemed to be happy, but that was to be expected, she hates staying in one place for too long after all.

He placed all dishes in dishwasher, after that he returned to the living room where Twilight was performing her spell. After she finished Thomas was surprised because nothing happened, he still could see six mares standing in his living room.

“Twilight what’s wrong I still see you as ponies.”

“That’s because I made it this way, so you will still see us as ponies.” Twilight replied

“Oh, sure that makes sense then, I just hope other people will really see you as humans.”

“Don’t worry about it, let’s go.”

We did as she said, I opened the door for them and got the compliment in the process from Rarity.

“What a gentlecolt.”

We will need to do something with this ponified vocabulary or someone will find out.’ Thomas thought to himself while locking his front doors and catching up with girls.

He led them to the city mall, it usually took him about 20 minutes on foot to get there, it was really hot outside, so he was very thankful for small wind which sometimes brushed them. To his surprise and relief nobody was looking with fear and curiosity at six ponies behind him.

I guess this spell must really work
He looked back at Twilight who gave him a “I told you it would work” gaze, he instantly turned away from it.

Although he couldn’t help but feel some people looking at them, but after he saw what kind of people are starring he understand why. Some of the boys were staring at six mares, well from their point of look they must have looked like a bunch of hot girls.

I’ll have to ask Twilight to show me themselves in their human version at least once, cause now I really want to see it

After finally arriving at the mall all girls were speechless at the size of the building right in from of them. All of them were frozen in place looking at it with their jaws hung open, well except for Pinkie who was jumping in place and smiling so widely Thomas was surprised her jaws are still in one piece.


Well she’s just being Pinkie Pie’ Thomas thought to himself before deciding it’s time to wake up girls from their state.

“Hey I know it’s impressive but you will look weird if you continue to stare at it like that.” It had quite the effect, all of them (except Pinkie) stopped staring and turned their faces away from him will small blushes.

That’s so goddamn cute

“All right, let’s go, it’s already 10:20 a.m. and mark my words, we are going straight for shop with vegetarian food, it’s not the time to be sightseeing.”

“Why not darling? I would really love to see this world’s fashion” Rarity asked

“Well that’s because we still hadn’t decide on some important things and also..
Oh my god I just realized I forgot about one of most important thing right now”

“What is it?” asked Rainbow Dash

“Your names”

“What’s wrong with our names sugarcube?”AJ asked

“In your world probably nothing, but your names don’t fit here, we need to quickly think about other names.”

“Well do you have any Idea darling?” Rarity asked

Thomas was trying to figure out six normal names for girls but his mind was completely empty, then suddenly a brilliant idea came up in his brain.

“All right, Twilight your name will be Tara, Rarity yours Tabitha, Rainbow yours Ashleigh, Pinkie you will be named Andrea, Fluttershy’s new name will be Kazumi and Finally Applejack’s name will be Rebecca.”
Satisfied with his idea, Thomas took a look at their face, it seems they like those temporary names.

“All right, if nobody have anything to complain about then let’s go!”

Thomas stated rather happy, by now it was 10:30 a.m. and he couldn’t help it but think that he forgot about something, but he decided to just ignore this feeling.

30 minutes later

What the hell was I even thinking?’ Thomas thought to himself sitting on a bench in front of shop called “Land of Dreams” it seems they mostly had girl’s accessories like jewelry, shoes on high heels, and dresses.

They might be ponies but they are still female. Of course they won’t be able to pass by shop like this without going inside. For god’s sake what is taking them so long? I could understand spending there a lot of time if they would be trying these things on, but they are ponies, their anatomy won’t even let them wear our clothes.

While sitting there he couldn’t help but constantly taking a peek at his watch. He still had this feeling that he forgot about something.

He sighed in defeat and decided to go to some grocery store in the mall to buy food by himself, when suddenly he heard familiar voice calling him from girl’s shop direction

“Hey Thomas wait up.” It was Rainbow Dash.

“Huh? Oh Rain… I mean Ashleigh what’s up? You already done with that shop?

“What did you think that I’ll be stopped by something like that? I have gone in there in the first place because Apple.. I mean Rebecca dragged me in when she saw some kind of girly cowboy boots.”

“I guess you should expect that from her, so what are you coming with me to grocery shop?”

“Sure everything will be better than being in this shop, especially when Tabitha’s around.”

Thomas couldn’t help but imagine Rarity running through the shop while carefully studying every single dress and forcing Rainbow to try them on.

Thought like this made him feel sorry for Dash, while he couldn’t help but let out few small chuckles.

“All right than let’s go, our destination is in this dire…”

He couldn’t finish as he was cutoff by someone calling his name

“Hey Thomas! Wait up!”

Calling him was a high 1,98 m tall boy with tanned skin, blue eyes and long, straight black hair. Thomas quickly recognized him.

“Hey Terry what’s up.”

“Nothing much, I have to say I thought that when you said you have plans for today you were lying cause u didn’t want to play with us but it seems that I was wrong.”
Terry said smiling and looking at Rainbow Dash, what he saw was of course attractive girl with magenta eyes and rainbow colored hair.
It took few moments for Thomas to realize what his friend meant

“Sorry to disappoint you Terry but this is just my childhood friend Ashleigh, she moved out 10 years ago and recently came back, so we decided to just spend some time together.”

“So you are telling me you are just friends?”

“Eeyup”

“Well if you say so, then I guess I’ll believe it.”

Thomas knew Terry for two years now, they weren’t best buddies or anything of that sort but Thomas most certainly enjoyed spending time with him, also he really liked playing basketball with Terry who was captain of their High School basketball team.

“So Terry what are you doing here?”

“Oh nothing much I’m just looking for new shoes and..”

This was one of these moments when universe decided to play with Thomas

“Hey Thomas, we finally managed to get Tabitha out of there, we can now go buy some food.” Twilight shouted while Applejack dragged Rarity out of the shop while Fluttershy was hiding behind Pinkie. All five of them quickly trotted up to Thomas, Rainbow, and visibly shocked Terry.

“Dude, If she is your childhood friend when who are these girls?” Terry asked

“Nice to meet you my name is Tara, this is Andrea, Tabitha, Kazumi and Rebecca.” Twilight said while pointing to each of girls while introducing them

“My name’s Terry its my Pleasure.” He responded still slightly dumbfounded and looked at Thomas

“Well they are her friends who came here with her, they said they would like to see what was the city she was born in like.”
Thomas thanked his brain for once again saving him on this day

“Well sure, if you say so.” Terry responded not completely believing it this time

“Well anyway it was nice to meet you here Thomas, I must go now see you another time. And have a nice day ladies.” Terry left with a small bow

“That was close one.” Thomas said with a sigh of relief.

“All right now, we are going to go buy food and we then we are immediately going to go back, am I clear?” All of them nodded.

“Great.”

After they finally bought enough supplies for next week for everypony and himself, Thomas looked at his watch, it was now 11:10 a.m. he smiled and thought

Well at least nothing worse can happen than meeting Terry today right?

He quickly regretted even thinking like that.

“Thomas, hey Thomas wait up!” He once again heard someone calling his name, this time though it was a female voice, and he recognized it immediately without even having to look at her.

It was Sarah, another of his friends from high school, she was a rather small (1,68 m) skinny girl with long blond hair which reached her thighs, she had dichromatic eyes, one of them was blue other one green, something that Thomas thought was really cool and he was always envy of it.

Like with Terry, Thomas enjoyed spending time with Sarah but few months ago he learned something that made his relations with her quite awkward. What he learned was the fact that she had a crush on him, he couldn’t believe it when he first heard it but after he started paying more attention to how she acted around him, he knew it was true.

What was scaring him is that he didn’t want to lose a good friend like her, he knew that one day she will probably confess his affection for him, and while he thought she’s quite pretty and hot, he didn’t have any feelings towards her.

“Thomas what are you doing here? I heard from Terry that you had something to do today.” She said with a smile, when suddenly noticing six girls standing behind Thomas, and her smile changed into small frown when she asked.

“Who are those girls?”

Even though they weren’t dating or anything of the sort Thomas couldn’t help but feel like a boyfriend caught on cheating by his girlfriend.

“Let me introduce you, this is my childhood friend Ashleigh, and these are her friends, Tara, Tabitha, Rebecca, Kazumi and Andrea. Girls this is my friend from high school Sarah”

Thomas repeated same lie he told Terry hoping it will work the second time.

After each girl shook her hand, smile returned to her face and she turned to Thomas with a small blush on her face.

“So I was wondering, are you doing something on Saturday?”

Thomas knew exactly where she was going with this statement, but before he could say that he already have plans for that day she continued.

“Cause I was wondering if maybe you would like to go with me to the cinema? They are playing this new cool movie.”

While saying that she couldn’t help but look at the floor instead of Thomas with strong blush on her face.

When he was looking at her he suddenly felt sad for her, and couldn’t help it but agree to her offer.

“Sure I would love to.”

Sarah lifted her head in order to meet his gaze almost immediately and with a cheerful smile she said

“That’s just wonderful! See you at Saturday than, let’s meet at cinema at 8 p.m. See you later Thomas.” She then turned to girls and said

“It was nice to meet all of you, I hope we will meet again.” And then she disappeared in the crowd.

Thomas whose last wish was to meet any other friend quickly left mall with girls and they quickly walked back home.
By the time they finally got back it was already 11:32 a.m. Thomas sighed as last pony entered his house, he closed his front door behind him and proceed to open the fridge and started to insert food he bought.

Then again he felt this strange feeling about forgetting something again, he once again ignored it.

Well that was a rather bad day but we are finally home and I’m quite positive that this time nothing will happen.

Thomas then went into living room only to find five of the mares watching TV while Twilight sat alone in the corner and was reading a book she took from his bookshelf, he decided to just watch the TV with five mares and sat down on the couch near Rainbow Dash.
They were watching some boring film, and after a while all of them, except Fluttershy but nobody heard her objection, agreed to change program. After jumping through few channels they once again found a MLP episode, this time it was the very first episode of the series.
After few moments it finally stroke him, Thomas looked with fear in his eyes on his watch and suddenly remembered what was he planning to do today and with who he was planning to do it.

Then suddenly he heard knocking on a door followed by the voice he knew very well.

“Hey Thomas It’s me Alex, I got pizza and cold beer, so we can finally start!”
Thomas was able to utter only 4 words




“Well, we are fucked.”
