Chapter 3. Ponyville

I exit the hospital door being wheeled by Rainbow Dash.  As soon as we entered the refreshing spring air and left the confined walls of the hospital, I sprang out of the wheelchair.  Rainbow Dash was about to protest, but she saw the determined look on my face for I am not one to like attention.  She led me over to the main street with the buildings and shops.  The sweet smell of cupcakes filled my nostrils as my stomach growled.  I realized that I haven’t eaten in 3 days.

“Uh, Rainbow Dash?”  I said clutching my stomach

“Yes?”  She said bringing her elegantly crimson eyes to meet the blue rings of mine.

“Can we get something to eat?  I haven’t eaten in days.”  I said back.  Rainbow Dash grinned and pointed to a yellow cake shop.  I entered the room, the sweet smell now filling up nostrils.  I looked around seeing nobody there, until I was tackled and hugged by a large pink Pony.

“Ooh, you must be Rainbow Dash’s new friend!”  It screamed as it squeezed me tightly.

“Y-y-yeah.”  I managed to choke out through my crushed lungs.  The pink pony hopped off happily as she introduced herself.

“My name is Pinkie Pie!  Who are you?”  She asked in her loud screechy voice.

“My name i-is Chris.”  I said after Rainbow Dash separated Pinkie Pie off of me.  I gasped for air as Pinkie Pie patted my back.

“Er.  Sorry.”  She said patting my back.  I waved a hand as if to say “It’s okay” and she got the massage.  My stomach suddenly gave out a large growl as Pinkie Pie stood up with pride.

“I see your tummy, needs something yummy!”  She said as she grabbed an enormous blue cake from the shelves.  She placed the cake on the table and cut a slice off.  She handed the heavenly piece of cake to me as I stared at it with awe.  It was cooked to perfection; every bit on the inside was cooked right, and kept moist.  I wafted the smell to my nose as I grabbed my fork.  I looked to Rainbow Dash for a sign to say; “it’s okay.”  Luckily, she nodded and smiled.  I shoveled the cake into my mouth enjoying every bit of its sweet and berry-ish flavor.  After having one more slice put into a box for later, and saying “goodbye” and “Thank you” to Pinkie Pie, we headed off to the library.  As I entered, the familiar smell of paper filled my nostrils.  I looked around at the books and smiled.  I always liked reading; I was kind of a bookworm back at my old place in Wuntersfall Ave.  But these were all fresh new books.  Not one of these I have read.  But then, she entered.  A beautiful velvet pony with dark violet eyes and a blue/purple mane walked in to the room.  I was love struck.  I never saw anything more beautiful in my life.

“Oh, hi Rainbow Dash, Who’s that?”  She said in a curious tone looking at every feature on my body.  My feet, legs, body, arms, hands, and head all seemed interesting to her.  She walked over to me and smiled.

“That’s Chris.”  Rainbow Dash called from across the room.  The velvet pony looked back at me and smiled.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle.  I am the librarian here in Ponyville.”  She said holding out a hoof.  I took it gratefully shaking it gently and making sure not to hurt her.

“I am Chris.”  I said back smiling.  I went back to looking at all the books on her shelves.

“Quite a collection you have here Twilight.”  I said looking at all the fictional stories.  She blushed and kicked at the floor.

“Yeah.”  She said grinning.  “I tend to read a lot.”

“So do I!”  I said looking back at her.  We kept our gazes met at each other’s eyes until I heard a noise in the back of the room.

“Twilight, who are you talking to?”  A male voice sounded.  I looked over to see a small reptile-like figure standing there rubbing it’s eyes.

“I am talking to the new human Spike!”  Twilight said proudly.

“Is his name Chris?”  Spike asked.

“Yeah.”  I said shaking Spike’s claw.  He held up a rolled up piece of parchment that was tied by a red ribbon.

“It’s for you.”  Spike said handing me the scroll.

“Uh, thanks dude.”  I said looking at the paper weird.  After a couple seconds of turning it over trying to figure out how to open the letter, Twilight let out a groan.  I turned to look at her as her horn glowed violet.  Suddenly the letter in my hands jumped out with a life of it’s own, levitating in front of me.  I gasped for I have never seen real magic performed in front of me.  The letter opened it’s self with ease and floated back into my hands.

“Uh, thanks Twilight.”  I said holding the now un-rolled piece of paper.

“Don’t mention it.”  Twilight said proudly.  I looked down at the parchment and read aloud.

Dear Christian Statcher.

You may be wondering how you got in to the lovely town of Ponyville, so I must tell you.  On July 3rd, at around 10:00 PM in the Milky Way universe, a shooting star was sent from me.  I detected a form of distress and need coming from somewhere on your planet and steered it over.  I looked through the star’s view and saw you being “treated” as I heard your wish.  I instantly caused a flash to weaken your abuser and cause him to stumble.  This game me enough time to teleport you over to here to grant your wish.  I simply hope you enjoy your stay and tell you this.  When you were teleported here, I detected large amounts of magic coming from you.  I expect big things from you.

Sincerely:  Princess Luna.
