I was utterly confused at my surroundings; rubbing the back of my somewhat long black hair which I had hep putting new highlights in them, making the tips sparkly with yellow frosty tips. One moment I was in my room, busy playing my Play Station 2, I did have a PS3, but for some reason the damn thing wouldn't read my disks, and I had no money to pay for online games anyway. I closed my eyes while pausing the game for more then a millisecond to yawn, I was up early in the morning playing Need for Speed Most Wanted, and now, here I am; in a forest. My name is Brandon, I'm about nineteen, only got drunk once, don't make me tell you how drunk I got because trust me...it wasn't pretty. My skin is lightly tanned, or more tanned, but I like to say it's lightly tanned. I have grass green eyes, the type that when the rain would soak into it making it the darker green. Looking around at the forest, I couldn't think on where I was. I wasn't that smart, maybe a little street smart, but not enough to call me a brainy type of person. I'm the type that if you ask me about a game, I'll tell you as much as I can. Anyway, forest, long grass, didn't know where I was. Sitting up form the dry floor I looked around, standing at a height of six feet and two inches, I stretched my arms and looked around. I might have been dreaming, maybe I am, don't really now; didn't truly care.

            Walking down a path I could easily see off to the side I took in the smell of the land. Much better then the smells of the city I grew up, or the noises of cars zooming past almost hitting you. As I waked, I found what seemed to be a village, the way it looked to me, no cable lines any phone lines, looked like something out of the history books; or from Assassin Creed. Yes I just made a freaking AC compliment to a place I just found, fuck off will you? Anyway, walking in, I thought maybe I could find someone who could help me, anyone for that matter I really didn't care. Walking over the small bridge I made myself into the village and looked around. That's when I noticed a small pony before me looking at me. The pony was just looking at me, the mouth seemed to be agape slightly as if saying 'What the fuck?' at me. Big blue eyes seemed to sparkle as I blinked at it, it blinked back. I studied horses and ponies and I knew this was a pony, and by the build I could easily tell that 'it' was a she. But unlike any pony I have ever seen before, this pony fur was a bright pink! Her tail and mane were more of a magenta hue, and her hair, it was like it was poofy, that's all I could say about it. Blinking again I noticed that she had this weird mark on her thigh, what looked to be balloons with streamers.

            "Uh...hi?” I answered tilting my head as the pony gasped, jumping maybe as high as my body while doing a one-eighty and then booked it...and I mean booked it. I was still coughing up dust as she ran off who knew how fast. "You know...that was kind of cool...in a weird sort of way.” I spoke to myself out loud like I always did. I was about to walk off when I felt a tap on my leg. Thinking someone just kicked me because it felt a little harder; I turned to see who it was, but saw nothing.

            "Down here!” I blinked hearing a young women's voice as I looked down and blinked in confusion, standing before me was yet another pony. Or what I thought was a pony, but this one had a...horn? Holy crap this was a unicorn?!

            I slowly backed away from the unicorn looking up at me. Knowing that this one was female from the voice I just heard, she had what looked to be a pink six-pointed star marking on her flanks, to me it kind of looked like a tattoo, but I could've been wrong, I wouldn't know. Her coat was a faded purple while her large intelligent eyes were a shade of violet, which blinked at me at times as I backed away more until stopping. What surprised me was that her mane seemed to be styled into more of a human woman's hairstyle instead of an ordinary mane. It was straight and well kempt and shared its coloration with her equally tidy dark blue, pink, and purple tail. I rubbed my head thinking that maybe I just thought I heard the voice, but after moving forward again, I saw her lips move.

            "You okay mister?” she asked with the same voice I just heard as my heart nearly stopped. "You seem...confused.”

            "You...can...talk?” I asked slowly as she tilted her head.

            "Yes, but I'm more surprised at you...you're a human, are you not?” I only dumbly nodded my head as she smiled and stood on her hind legs for a moment and clapped her hooves together once. "Yes I was right! But what I don't understand is that you are real!”

            "Wha?” I asked in confusion as she blinked and looked up at me, her head could no doubt be higher then my waist.

            "Well humans are only known in old folk tales, are there others like you here?” I only blinked still taking this all in. different colors ponies and unicorns, that they can talk, in this place I know nothing of; I only shrugged.

            "I wouldn't know,” I answered looking down at her. "I mean...I was home, and now here; freaking me out a bit...excuse me.” She blinked but nodded as I went to the closest house I could find, looking at the wall; I slammed my head into it hard. "Argh!” I screamed holding my head. The unicorn's eyes widened as she ran to me but I held my hand up to stop her. "No worry...I'm fine...pain too real to be a dream...fuck...” I groaned and shook my head slightly as she looked to me in worry. "Mind telling me your name...and where I am?”

            "Oh...uh, right,” she seemed dazed by my choice of actions no doubt. "My name is Twilight Sparkle; this here is Ponyvile in the middle of Equestria.”

            "Equest-what?” I asked as she nodded her head. "Never heard of it.”

            "Never seen a real human before so I guess we are even huh?” I gave a small chuckle at that.

            "True, oh where as my manners; names Brandon Casey, nice to meet you miss Sparkles.”

            "Just call me Twilight,” she answered as I nodded. Hearing a loud bell from somewhere seeing many other ponies and unicorn walk about, some even had wings! They all looked at us, to me I felt like a guy going to a Blue Man party, wearing red paint. I was just about to say something else when I noticed a something caught my eye looking over I saw what seemed to be a blue blur coming at high speed. Whatever it was it was leaving a trail of a rainbow behind it's wake. "Uh...you might want to jump out of the way.”

            "Why?” I asked as I looked to Twilight but she was already gone.

            "Outta way, o...outta of the way!” I blinked and back seeing the blue coming faster, before it was close I jumped as high as I could, tucking my knees to my chest feeling a rush of wind past right under me. Landing with a grunt I turned and watched as the blur flew straight up and then disappeared into the clouds. Twilight came back from somewhere and looked up as well.

            "What is that Pegasus doing this time?” Twilight muttered to herself though I heard. Then hearing a loud boom I blinked and saw what I guess was a Pegasus come straight down at full speed, seeing what seemed to be a cone before her before she then shot forward at a ninety degree angle causing a louder boom to be heard as a wave of rainbows were seen all around where she broke off.

            My jaw dropped at the sight as a loud thud was heard as I turned to see what had landed. Her eyes seemed to be of purple, much like Twilight coat in a way, her main and tail a mixture of colors of the rainbow, her coat a shade of blue which I liked as she stood pride of what she had done. Like Twilight she had a mark on her thigh, this one being of a cloud with a rainbow lighting blot; which looked pretty cool.

            "Yeah!' she cried clapping her hooves on the ground as she grinned even wider. "That's why they call me Rainbow Dash!”

            "Rainbow Dash are you out of your mind?!” Twilight nearly screamed. "You've could've hit poorBrandonhere!”

            "Well from what I saw, he didn't get hit, he jumped over me, by the way man, nice jump.” I nodded to her as she came up to me. "Pinkie Pie told me there was a new pony in town and I just had to show off my Sonic Rainbow; did you like it?”

            "Not something I've seen everyday,” I answered as she beamed. "And I'm not a pony.”

            "Not a pony?” she asked me looking me up and down. "What the heck are you then?”

            "Human,”

            "You mean like in the old stories?”

            "I guess.”

            "Wicked! Though you look kinda weird with a bit of hair on your face and head and not everywhere like us.”

            "Dash!” Twilight yelled again as the winged pony shrugged.

            "What, that's what I think!” I had to slightly laugh at this until I blinked.

            "What...who's Pinkie Pie?” both looked at me as Twilight spoke walking up to me.

            "She's this pink pony, I'm guessing you saw her if Rainbow Dash said she told her.” Thinking back I remembering seeing only one other pony.

            "Does she run so fast that dust catches up and she jumps really high?”

            "That's her...but trust me she can do a lot more then that...”

            "Do I want to know?”

            "You'll find out...so where do you live?”

            "Oh uh...I don't have a place I guess, since I don't live here.” Twilight seemed to slap herself seeming to remember what I told her a while ago.

            "Well that is no good...hrm...oh I have a idea follow me!” after saying our goodbyes to Dash, I followed the unicorn toward what seemed to be a shop. The sigh said Sugarcube Corner Cupcakes, reading that made me somewhat hungry, Twilight walked in, and I had to duck so not to hit my head.

            "Hello Twilight, oh who's your friend?” the inside reminded me of a old candy shop in a way, but cakes of all kinda were seen.

            "This is Brandon Mrs. Cake, he needs a place to stay and I was wondering if you were still offering that other room?” looking over at the women who asked who I was, I wasn't surprised that it was a pony. Her coat many a little lighter the Rainbow's but still blue all the same. The marking on her leg was what seemed to be three cupcakes. Her pink and darker pink hair stuck up in a sort of swirl as her tail brushed down. She wore what seemed to be a apron as she studied me up and down.

            "Why yes we are, do you have any bits son?”

            "Bits?” I asked in confusion as Twilight looked at me.

            "You know money.”

            "Uh...no...” Twilight thought about it then thought of a idea.

            "Mrs. Cake, you said you also needed another helping hoof in the workplace right? LetBrandonwork off staying here with Pinkie Pie as well!”

            "Pinkie Pie lives here?” I asked as Twilight nodded. Mrs. Cake thought for a moment and smiled nodding her head.

            "That is a very good idea dear, can you cookBrandon?”

            "I dabbled,” I admitted with a shrug as she nodded.

            "I must also ask a few question...like for one...are you a human?”

            "Yes,” I answered as she smiled and nodded her head.

            "I thought so; Pinkie Pie said something about a weird hairless pony walking on two legs.”

            "I've been called weird a lot today,” the two laughed as I soon joined in.

            "This shall be your room,” the pony mare told me opening the door for me as I looked inside, it was pretty large, and I could easily stand up full in there and jump without hitting my head. There was a large bed a desk beside it with a lamp, a single round window by the bed which was open letting a nice breeze come in. walking in I  sat on the bed bouncing a bit as I smiled.

            "Thank you Mrs. Cake, this means a lot to mean.”

            "Oh think nothing of it, today you may rest, tomorrow Pinkie Pie will start your training alright?” I nodded and went to lay on my back slightly with eyes closed. I think I dozed off for a bit before I felt what felt like tapping on my face. Opening my eyes I saw what looked to be a floating cupcake, the surround part glowed a slight purple as I blinked and reached for it, it floated away, 'bouncing' up and down and spinning around my head. I blinked and jumped out of bed as it went to the door before it opened on its own. The cupcake flew out as I stayed there, it then flew back and waited at the door as I sighed and followed it. It took me down the stairs as I yawned softly at being woken up as it went outside. Like before ponies watched me as I followed the cupcake. Before long I came to what seemed to be a library, the cupcake then landed at the foot of the door as I looked at the sigh under it.

            "Eat me...and go inside?” I shrugged and did so, the cupcake was good, still eating the cake I walked inside, and it was pitch black only the light of the window making anything visible. "Okay so what the hell is...”

            "Surprised!” light blinded me as I yelped in surprised as I saw Pinkie Pie before me, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and some other I did not know. The one that I saw that seemed a little nervous to look at me before looking down and playing on the ground with her hooves. The coat was yellow and her mane and tail were pink. The mane was draped mostly to her right with it parting in two large bangs that curled at the ends. Her tail was the same, being somewhat longer that most others with her mane even reaching past her knees. The markings on her flanks were a trio of butterflies with pink wings and turquoise bodies and antennae. She gave me a small smile as I smiled back as her wings went over to cover her face as I could see the faintest of a blush.

            "Well isn't that cute!” I turned to see another Unicorn like Twilight she looked to be a very refined woman, she voice sounded just as refined as well as she came up from beside the yellow Pegasus. "It looks like little Fluttershy has a little blush for the human!” the others laughed as the one known as Fluttershy blushed and hid her face more as I blushed as well turning away. The owner of the voice eyes was a beautiful shade of azure and she seemed to be wearing light blue eye shadow. Her coat was the purest shade of white I had seen, almost as if they were made of new fell snow; her mane and tail were an indigo hue. They were both styled in the same way with her hair being styled into a curl at the ends. Her 'tattoo' mark consisted of three light blue diamonds, leading me to suspect that this pony was of a very high class; maybe a princess or a rich pony, she did look the part. I only coughed out slightly as the others laughed as the pink pony from before started jumping in front of me, while speaking very face.

            "Heya I'm Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you, I guess we are room mates now too huh? That's cool and great that means I can boss you around because I have to train you, hehe I just kid I won't boss your around!” I guess I was lucky that I had some classmates back home who could talk this fast as she went on while bounding around me like something you would see in a children show. "So were you surprised huh, huh, huh? I think you were you like BLAGH! And almost choked on the cupcake!” she went on and on for who knew how long. I slowly moved to the side as she went on about cakes and parties as I only shook my head.

            "So...this is a party...for what I got from her,” I said pointing to Pinkie Pie. "Me?”

            'Why that's would be on the point pardon!” I looked over to see another pony I did see until now. The owner of the voice was yet another pony. She spoke with a southern accent befitting a farm girl, that and because she wore what seemed to be a cowboy hat. Her coat was orange and her mane and tail were blond. She had a few freckles under her green eyes, a trait I found rather cute in a way. A brown Stetson hat rested atop her head. I also noticed that her mane and tail were tied at the ends with her mane hanging past her shoulders. Lastly, the symbols on her flanks consisted of three red apples. "Names Applejack, nice to meet ya, and you?”

            "NamesBrandon, nice to meet you AJ,” she laughed came and slapped my back slightly.

            "Oh already giving me a nickname huh B?” she laughed as I laughed as well.

            The party went on for a while, I found out later that this was Twilight house, she was I guess a student to some one who's name escaped me since I didn't truly ask. Music started to play and I slightly danced, never really a good dancer, but Pinkie Pie made me dance in front of everyone, I refused at first, but then her hair went...flat. I swear it did and then she seemed to glare at me and said in a slow voice.

            "You will dance.” Blinking and then agreeing, her hair poofed right back up. I danced with Twilight for a bit as she and I had a good time, then AJ came over and did what reminded me of square dancing as she did this all around me. Nice was Rarity who demanded that we do a slow dance, it was very weird me slow dancing with a unicorn as she slightly floated as I held her hooves and moved in small circles while making sure not to trip. She only laughed as we stopped as I looked away rubbing the back of my head in embarrassment. And soon the party was over, it was dark and Pinkie Pie led me back to the shop where we would be staying, talking all the while, very fast as well. Once inside my room I fell on my back and smiled. Truth be told...that was my first party that was thrown for me, I never did have any friends back home and I guess I already made like six in one day. I smiled and took off my shirt keeping my pants on, I remembered that Rarity could make clothing so I would have to see her after work tomorrow to see if she could make anything for me, yawning and closing my eyes I went under the blankets, and soon fell asleep.
