Two months have passed since my arrival in Equestria. And those months were madness!

First, Applejack seemingly got drunk and couldn't do anything right. She just fell on me as I passed her by! God damnit, she was heavy! Oh, and I got covered in lots of apple juice. It took forever to get it all out of my fur!

Then, a griffin came to Ponyville. A griffin, a real one! I was like: Oooh damn, this shit's getting over the top!

Ahem.

Anyway, she (the griffin was female) wasn't really nice. She tried to burn my tail with a lighter! And after she yelled "It's just a prank, calm down!" I remembered the pranksters that go to bad neighborhoods and do stupid pranks, like stealing someone's pizza. To get my point across that I didn't like her attitude I slapped her with my smartphone a few times. Oh, and threw her lighter... somewhere. I guess it belongs to her stupid lion ass, but, well, colts aren't supposed to use profanity and even know what an ass is (besides it being an animal, of course).

Alright, but that wasn't the worst of it. Sometime later, a unicorn by the name of Trixie arrived in Ponyville and did some rather flashy performances. Sort of like those illusionists in big cities do, but using real magic. I’d say that it wasn’t that good, it's just boasting that she's the best unicorn in town. I bet anyone, even the earth ponies (no racism intended) could do these tricks.

Well, at night two dumbasses, her fans or something like that, drew a fucking giant bear to Ponyville! Like, a giant, GIANT bear! Worse still, Trixie boasted that she was the one who vanquished it from Vanhoover (Another horse-pun) to the Everfree Forest. Guess what? She couldn't do a thing! And she shamefully ran away when another unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, solved the problem in style. She made the bear fall asleep, and then carried it back from whence it came! That is the greatest fucking thing I’ve ever seen!

Well, I think that Twilight Sparkle is the best unicorn, not that Trixie. Eat that!

I'm the only alicorn in town, so I’m the best alicorn in town, nopony can deny that, duh! Well, I haven’t revealed myself yet, but I know I’m the best!

Anyway, enough boasting, there are still a few things that I remember.

A DRAGON! A fucking, big, scary dragon! He made so much smoke that almost covered the skies completely. And those six mares that bear the Elements of Harmony have driven him away. You know, the dragon could've eaten all of them in one go. And the weakest of them made the dragon go away. I think her name's Fluttershy or something like that.

...There is one dragons fear. In their tongue, she is dovahkin. Dragonborn!

If I find out Fluttershy shouted at the dragon, I will dance around, singing the Skyrim theme. Anyway, she's Dovahkin to me.

After the dragon flew off in another direction, calmness fell on our little town. One and a half months had passed by then.

But that doesn't mean nothing has happened during the remaining two weeks.

First, Apple Bloom became more and more frustrated with each attempt at playing the guitar. I tried to encourage her to continue, but she eventually gave up. She told me it's too difficult for her. Oh well, what can I do? I can't make her do something she doesn't want to do.

Second, I’ve become the best student in the whole class. Cheerilee told me that with my level of knowledge I could try to enroll at Canterlot Primary School.

Well, it’s probably because my teacher is really trying to teach us, instead of just giving us books and telling us to write everything down. I haven't ever been so motivated to learn before! And the history of Equestria is AMAZING! Griffins, minotaurs, and many other fictional creatures have come to life! That made it much more interesting than the history of my own country. Learning history here is like reading a well-written fantasy book. And I really like this one!

And about the education in Equestria. To my surprise, I found out that it is completely free, all steps, including the university. All you need to do is to study properly and you won't have any problems with ascending up to the peak of knowledge. However, schools that teach anything that isn't needed by common folk are really expensive. Musical schools, theatrical schools, some kind of school for ladies and gentlecolts (perhaps about manners, something that only aristocracy cares about), and some other schools. Of course, you can just self-educate with books, but schools are far better, of course.

Anyway, Cheerilee decided that I will be able to learn more in Canterlot than in Ponyville. She said she'll even help get me there. Well, hopefully it's quieter in the capital than here, because I don't really want to get involved into even more crazy stuff that may or may not happen. You never know how it ends, right?

And during the last two months, I've learned how to fly. Well, not really fly, mostly glide. Only about two meters above the ground but that's alright, I’m not in a hurry to do stunts or anything like that, I'm fine with what I have. And flying is awesome!

I was visited at night by princess Luna a few times. She just loves the countryside, and often sleeps under the stars. We talked about a few things and I tried to help her with her language problems. I think we've created some kind of friendship. It still doesn’t feel real to me, as I've never seen a member of royalty interact with their subjects without security. But knowing Luna, her magical power is enough to protect herself.

One time when she thought no one was looking, she played a violin. It was enchanting! I didn't interrupt her, but felt the need to create something myself.

And I miss my electric guitar and synthesizer I had back on Earth. As far as I know many sounds can be synthesized by a unicorn of great musical talent, but I don't feel that it would look real. I love pressing keys, not just... whatever unicorns do.

So, I might have to invent an electric guitar. I think that with magic I can reshape a normal guitar, and make some sort of guitar amp like I had back on Earth. So, I must delve deeper into magic to understand how to make my desires come true.

It's twenty first of September, and it's still quite warm, but the colours have already begun to turn yellow and orange. I guess thanks must be given to Weather Patrol for that. It still amazes me how they control it. Hey, it would be useful in my own town! It was always either too hot or rainy. Well, weather was never perfect back then.

So, today I'm going to the Ponyville Schoolhouse for the last time. Cheerilee will have done all the paperwork by the time I arrive, so no worries about that. Well, time to say goodbyes to my classmates and head to Canterlot. I've read about the city's history, but I still want to know what it is for myself. Nothing is better than your own experience, right?

And I think I forgot to mention that I've changed a bit since June. It seems I'm growing faster than my classmates. I'm already almost as tall as a grown up, my mane and tail got longer as well. Not significantly, of course, but it was noticed by others.

"Good morning, Flame Metal." I was greeted by Cheerilee as I entered the schoolhouse. "How are you today?"

"I'm fine, thanks." I replied. "So, today I'm going to Canterlot, right?"

"Indeed." she nodded. "Feeling nervous?"

"Hmmm, a little, I think."

"Don't worry, it'll all be fine." she smiled warmly at me. "I've done all the paperwork. You’ll be living in a hostel that is near the school. I've also found out that you will be living with another student: a filly named Moonshine. She's a year older than you, but I don't think that'll be a problem. She is known to be rather shy and quiet, though. Anyway, just don't jump around her and she'll warm up to you. I used to teach her, so I know her well. In fact, she attended Canterlot Primary School at your own age."

"I won't make any trouble." I said.

"I know you won't. So, I'll meet you at the train station after the lessons. You are free to stay at home, as I don't think you need to be here right now. Get some rest, it will be harder at Canterlot than it is here."

So, I spent the rest of the time before my departure helping Pinkie at the bakery. She’s happy for me to be taught at Canterlot, but she also said she will miss me and that I am always welcome at the Sugarcube Corner.

I've packed what little I had, and that is my smartphone, headphones, saddlebags, some pens, pencils, books, notebooks, and some other necessary stuff. Well, off I go. Goodbye, Ponyville. You've been a lovely place of insanity.

I was aboard the Friendship Express, a train that goes between all the cities in Equestria, including small towns like Ponyville.

Cheerilee was with me, since I couldn't travel alone without an adult to watch over me.

"Excited?" she asked me when we took our places. These seats are big and really comfortable!

"Mhh hm." I nodded, sinking into the softness of the seats. "I don't know what waits for me there, but it will certainly be something to look forward to." Especially after the madness of Ponyville. I hope Canterlot is less eventful than Ponyville. I don't want to run into, say, a cerberus or a hydra. Knowing my luck, those two things are likely to happen.

"Well, I've been to Canterlot only a few times myself." Cheerilee sighed. "But I didn't really like it here. I prefer the countryside. It's less noisy."

The city of Canterlot is HUGE! It’s really quite loud compared to Ponyville, and most ponies in Canterlot wear clothes, mostly suits and dresses. That has something to do with the status of a pony. I don't really care about my status, pretty much anyone could afford what I've bought for myself when I was a human. Can't say the same for ponies, though, as I don't really know how much the clothes cost here.

So, the city isn't like a megapolis, but more of the old Roman cities that history books tell us about. The houses aren't too high, only about four floors at the most. The design represents houses from that period as well. And it's really cool because it isn't ruins or just some old city with modern technology. It’s somewhere in between old and modern, but the streets are much cleaner than what I'm used to see. I think I'll like this city.

Anyway, Cheerilee and I were walking through the streets of the city to where I will be living for the rest of my studying. The school is just past the corner. And...

...

Holy crap, this school is fucking marvelous! Oh boy, this is simply the most AWESOME one!

Well, how better to describe it... A tall, gothic-styled building that resembles Hogwarts in some way. Just... Dang! I don't think I can describe it with words. But the most important thing is that this building stands out from the rest. But I don't really care about any of that, I just want to walk around the school for hours until I see every corner! I bet it has all sorts of secrets!

After I picked up my jaw, Cheerilee and I made our way to the hostel where I'll be living. It's not as grand looking as the school itself but, hey, it's much better than that dull building I had to live in while studying back on the Earth.

Anyway, I entered the hostel. Cheerilee told me to wait until all business is finished with that mare at the front table. My teacher will have to do something, and then I'll be shown to my new room, where I'll become acquainted with that Moonshine filly.

Not many minutes passed before I was shown to my room. Cheerilee left to go back to Ponyville, and I’m all on my own until this evening. I was told that Moonshine will tell me the schedule for tomorrow, as well as general rules and such things when she comes back from school.

So, the room was certainly made for two foals to live together. I don't really understand what we are doing without any adults to watch over us or why fillies live together with colts, but I don't really care. After all, we're nude all the time, so I don't think anyone cares about ponies showing each other their privates.

Er, that sounded strange and a little bit disgusting. I still have to adjust to this strange society.

Ahem.

So, the room I'm now living in is rather big. It has two beds, two chests of drawers, two tables with chairs, a large bookcase that takes nearly all of one of the walls, and a door to bathroom. Wow, a bathroom in each room? That's really good. There is also a window right in front of both tables. And dang is that window huge! Thankfully, it has some curtains.

So, all I have to do now is to unpack my stuff, lay it somewhere near my bed, which is the one that looks like it wasn't used in centuries, and then get some rest. Well, I don't really need any, so what do I do? Play some games, of course!

Fifteen minutes passed before Moonshine came.

Moonshine is a unicorn, a little smaller than me, but maybe that's because her head is just hanging low. Her fur is white, her mane and tail are very pale yellow, and her eyes are a vibrant blue. Her mane is really long, falling down past her shoulders. Do horses have shoulders? Let's just stick with shoulders, because it is much easier for me to imagine that they do.

Anyway, she doesn't have a cutie mark yet. Well, she certainly looks like a filly that keeps her appearance well.

"Hello." I greeted her as she entered. I noticed how she shuddered and looked at me. "Um, you should know by now that I'm your new roommate. Name's Flame Metal." I introduced myself.

"...Hi." Moonshine replied rather nervously. "I, um, was tasked with briefing you on, um, everything that happens in the school." she said, setting down her heavy-looking saddlebags. "And the schedule, right? Oh, so, um..." she turned her eyes away from me. "The schedule on tomorrow is light, so, um... Yes, it's two Maths, Commonlang, and Physical Culture. Um, there are no rules on the clothes, but you should really keep your mane, um, neat... Yours looks messy."

For a shy type, she talks a lot. Or maybe that's because she was told to talk to me about the school. Anyway, she seems rather nice.

"Thanks for telling me." I smiled a bit, earning a wide-eyed stare from Moonshine. Um, did I do something wrong?

After a few moments of staring, she went to unpack her belongings and take them to one of the tables.

"Um..." she turned to me. "Don't interrupt me while I'm doing my homework, okay?"

"I won't." I replied. "But will it be alright if I need help?"

"Um... I think... I think that'll be fine." she replied even more nervous. What's with her?

Moonshine has been quiet since she started doing her homework, and I didn't dare interrupt her. I looked at what she's been doing, and saw that she was rewriting something from a rather ink-stained paper with red markings and F mark. It seems her penmanship is rather bad, mostly because she was using her mouth to write. She often stopped, seemingly thinking of something, and when she resumed what she's been doing a blot was left which she desperately tried to at least make smaller, making everything even worse. She wasted two pieces of paper before I spoke up.

"Hey," I lightly tapped her shoulder. She shuddered at my touch and quickly turned around. "Um, I can help you with your penmanship if you want."

"Please, don't interrupt me." she said a little forcefully. "I don't need help."

"Sorry for interrupting, then." I told her, then turned around because I felt like nature called me to go to a toilet. As I walked away from Moonshine, I heard her sigh.

I'm not the best at seeing others' thoughts, but it seems like she has problems at school. If she ever wants my help, I'll help her.

Well, tomorrow's my first day at the new school, so I should take care of my mane. I wouldn't want to cause a bad first impression, would I?

So, I entered the bathroom. It had a bathtub, a toilet, and a shelf with some shampoos that I think belong to Moonshine. There was also a new-looking towel, and I think it's for me.

I locked the door and undressed myself, releasing my wings. They are growing fast as well, and I think in about half a year they will be too uncomfortable under my hoodie.

Anyway, I sniffed my hoodie, and found out that it doesn't have any smell at all. Huh, it seems like I won't have to wash it. Good for me, 'cause I don't have anything else to wear. I still don't like this idea of nudity.

After relieving myself, I decided that it is time to get thoroughly cleaned. I jumped into the bathtub and turned on the water, then adjusted its temperature to comfortable. With the shower head in my magic, I start cleaning my mane. Oh boy it's messy. I don't think ... Oh wait, there is some kind of wooden brush, and this one looks like it wasn't used before. I pick it up and brush my mane, making it completely straight. Brutal! Anyway, maybe there's a shampoo as well. Let's see... Oh yes, there’s one that looks like it doesn't belong to a filly.

Let's put that shampoo to use. I started rubbing the shampoo into my mane, and oh boy! My hair wasn't that clean in months! And so soft! Damn, that—

"AW FUCK!" I yelled because some shampoo decided that my eye was a perfect place to go.

Water, water, more water! Just get that stinging shit out of my eye!

Ow...

...

More water.

...

Whew, much better now.

...

Probably shouldn't have used profanity, because I swear I could hear Moonshine falling from her chair when I yelled.

Anyway, time to get out of the bathtub. So, here's a towel. I grabbed it and rubbed myself, drying my fur. I'll have to use a hairdryer to get my mane right, or it'll end up in a mess it was before I washed it.

I put on my hoodie and exited the bathroom. Moonshine was sitting on the floor, staring at me. Yes, she did fall from her chair.

"You... used a profanity." she spoke quietly, blushing. And is that fear I hear in her voice?

"Um, I'm sorry..." I muttered. "I got some shampoo in my eye, and that stung a lot. You okay? I, um, heard you falling."

"I'm fine." Moonshine replied, standing up. "Just try not to use any profanities, okay?"

"I'll try to. Sorry, again." I replied a little bit shamefully. After all, I should refrain from using profanity when in the presence of kids. "Uh, do you have a manedryer?"

"Yes, in one of the drawers. Um, don't forget to put it back." she replied, getting back on her chair and resuming doing homework.

Yes, I said manedryer. After all, ponies have mane, not hair.

So, where is that dryer? Let's see... The first drawer contains some quills, ink wells, notebooks. The second one has something... is that a homemade plush toy that represents Luna? Not my business for sure. Oh, and the third drawer has a hairdryer, finally. It's in a shape of a cylinder and has a belt. I suppose that is how you attach it to hoof. Anyway, I have my magic for that.

Wait, how is this thing powered? Okay, I pushed a button and it started blowing rather hot air. Magic! So, I started drying my hair.

...

Moonshine is staring at me again. When I noticed that she turned around. Well, I think she didn't know I could use magic. After all, she's just a year older than me, and Cheerilee said that unicorns can't do magic until ten years of age.

I rather quickly finished drying my hair, and put the hairdryer back.

Alright, time to do something until the next day comes. Some relaxing music will do...

Oh yeah, this one will do.

Author's Notes:

Hello again, ladies and gentlemen! Finally, this chapter is up for all of you to see. I know it's been a long time since I posted the previous one, so I say I'm sorry for that. I was focused on another story.

Anyway, I decided it would be best that I'll give some time to this story as well.

Some might ask why did I make our protagonist study at Canterlot instead of Ponyville. Well, Ponyville has already become too typical for stories when a human is turned a pony. Canterlot is a city that is rarely a starting point of such stories (Maybe I'm wrong, I'm just judging on what I've already read.), so I decided it would be best to change a little. But it doesn't mean that everything will become dull, I will still try to improve my creativity and give you a story you would want to read.

So, off I go to write the next chapter.
