Just What The Doctor Ordered

I decided after a couple of minutes I didn't need to set up base camp.  All I did was sit under a nearby tree that was facing the town.  I was still amazed.  I got another shock when I saw them talking!!!  For the second time today, my jaw hit the floor.  They spoke in perfect English too!!!  They talked about stuff humans talked about.  They talked about gossip, the weather, and other things along those lines.  I looked at my I-Pod and the time read 7:30 AM.  I was glad that whatever or whoever transported me here, transported my I-Pod with me.   I decided I would just sit back and relax for a bit.  Meeting the ponies could wait.  I scrolled through my I-Pod and decided to look for a song to play.  I found the perfect song that suited my current predicament.

As I was listing to the song, I relaxed.  As the lyrics were going, I couldn't help but frown that I could not let the pain heal.  After all those years of hell that Janice put me through, I wonder If I would ever let it go.  And I wondered If I did belong here.  As I looked at the ponies I noticed they were all cheerful and It looked like they didn't have a care in the world.  It made me very sad as I saw the smaller looking ponies with what looked like their mothers.  I missed my real mother.  The sad thing was I never even got to say goodbye to her.  Seeing these young ponies with their mothers only made my pain worsen.  I was so deep in thought I almost didn't notice a rainbow colored blur heading straight for me.

"LOOK OUT BELOW!!!" I managed to hear it in time to jump out of the way as a rainbow colored pony crash land into the tree that I was sitting against only a moment ago.  I stopped my music and took my headphones out of my ears and put them both in my pocket.  "Ow my head!" I heard the rainbow colored pony say.  Judging by hear voice I could tell she was a female.  But with a tomboyish accent to go with it.  As she was coming to, she looked up.  She looked at me and she froze.  I saw her red colored eyes.  "MONSTER!!!" before I had time to react, she pounced on me pinning me to the ground.

"Who are you and why are you here!?!" She yelled in my face.  I was still surprised from the initial shock of her pouncing me it took me a few seconds to respond.  "Please, I'm not a monster, I'm just lost don't hurt me!"  I pleaded.  I was very afraid of her because If she had the power to pin me to ground I didn't know what else she was capable of.  "Woah!" You can talk?!" She screamed in my face again.  "Please stop screaming in my face.  I wont hurt anyone just let me go."  I pleaded once more.  She carefully got up off me.  I got up afterwords and dusted myself off.

"I'm sorry If I scared you I mean no harm, I'm just lost and looking to return home."  She eyed me suspiciously but after a few seconds, she relaxed a bit.  "Sorry about that, I was practicing some flight moves and lost control."  "By the way, what are you anyways?" I knew when she asked me that, I knew for a fact there were no humans here.  "I'm a human"  I told the rainbow colored pony. I decided I should tell her my name as well.  "My name Is Jason, nice to meet you."  I politely greeted.  "I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in all of Equestria!!" She proudly proclaimed as she flew up in the air.

Equestria? Is that the name of this place? I decided I would ask where I was in more detail later and focus on getting introduced to the town. "Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash, I'm glad you came by." I was actually glad she came by.  Maybe if she was willing, she would walk me through the town and make my appearance easier.  "You are?" "Why?" She asked.  "I was hoping if you could show me into town because from the looks of it, you don't have any humans, that's why I was sitting by the tree, cause I figured If I walked right into town, I would cause a panic or something."  She put her hand (or in this case a hoof) to her mouth and thought for a minute.  "I know who you should see." She finally responded.  "I know this pony who Is an egghead and she could probably help you to return home, from the looks of you, you aren't from around here are you?"

"No I'm not, one night I went to bed at my home, the next morning I wake up here."  "I don't know what brought me here."  "Who is this pony anyway?"  "Could she really help me out?"  Rainbow Dash laughed.  "Her name is Twilight, shes an egghead, always has her nose in books, If anyone could help you out, it would be her."  I decided to ask Rainbow Dash what she was.  I knew there were ponies here, but I never seen a pony with wings before.  "If you don't mind me asking, what are you anyway?" She looked confused for a second but then her face lit up.  "OH!, I'm a pegasus." "Dont you have any pegasuses where your from?"  She asked.  Interesting, she is a pegasus, I recall vaguely as mythological creatures.

"I'm afraid not.  "Actually back at my world (I have a feeling im gonna be using the term "my world" a lot in the future, so I might as well get used to It) pegasuses are mythological creatures, they don't exist."  Rainbow Dash looked shocked with her mouth hanging open.  "Really?" She asked.  "Yes really."  "So this Twilight is she a pegasus as well?"  Rainbow Dash laughed at my question.  Then she stopped laughing.  She probably remembered I wasn't from around here.  "Sorry about that, I keep forgetting your not from here, no shes not a pegasus, shes a unicorn."  My jaw hit the floor for the third time today.  I had a feeling my jaw would keep hitting the floor as time went on.  "A unicorn?!" I almost screamed.

"Ya she is."  She responded.  "I'm guessing unicorns don't exist were your from because your jaw is still hanging open." She chuckled.  "I have a feeling my jaw is gonna keep dropping so I might as well get used to it." I remarked.  She just laughed in response.  "I like you, your funny, I can tell were gonna best friends." She smiled.  Friend? She considers me her friend? We just met though?  "Friend?" "You consider me your friend?" "But we just met?"

"Of course, you seem like a cool guy, and besides I bet you have loads of cool stories from your world anyways."  Wow my first encounter with a local and I'm a friend of hers already.  I hope the other town locals are just a friendly.  But I have a feeling that might not be the case.  "Sorry to cut our talk short, but can you help me walk into Ponyville now?"  "I'm kinda afraid the locals will hurt me."  I actually was scared.  After the way Rainbow Dash reacted, I imagine it would only be worse If a whole town reacted in a similar way.  "Don't worry, I'll protect you, I'll make sure no one messes with my new friend."  "If anyone tries to hurt you, I'll make them regret it." She said while punching her hoofs in the air like a boxer.  "Thanks, I feel safer already."  I was really touched by her kindness.

"No problem, anything for a friend."  She responded with a smile.  I smiled as well.  "Ok well should we go now?" I asked her.  "Ya let's go to Twilight's."  She said as she landed on the ground.  "I'll walk you there, since you can't fly and your unfamiliar with Ponyville."  Wow I was really touched by her kindness.  It made me happy.  "Thanks Rainbow Dash, It means a lot."  I said gratefully.  "No problem, I would never leave my friends hanging."  She responded with a smile.  And we were finally on our way to Ponyville.  "Rainbow Dash, I'm nervous." I told her.  I was really nervous.  I was very shy, and I wasn't good in crowds.  And me going into a town where I'm the only human, would make me the center of attention,  didn't help at all.  "Don't be nervous Jason.  I'll be right beside you as we go to Twilight's, you don't have anything to worry about." She said with a reassuring smile.  "Ok, thanks."  I was still nervous as we were walking towards Ponyville. I hope the town won't be too hard on me I thought while the town got closer in sight.
