Chapter 1: Welcome to Ponyville!
I woke up in a place that I never been to. My vision was blurred from the vase that dropped on my head. I attempted to get up from my back but my arm won’t bend backwards. Hey, hold on for one-
“Wat.” I said. “What the…what?” My arms aren’t the same. Instead of a skinny limb, I have a thick leg. I rolled over and pushed myself up. Standing on both legs wasn’t easy as before, as I kept on falling down constantly. Maybe I should- yeah, that works. I stood on all four of my legs. I tried to walk but I keep on just moving my hind legs, causing me to lose my balance and fall again. After several attempts, I finally got onto my legs and walked forward. I tripped a few times but I made it all the way to the door. When I opened it, boy, I was scared half to death three times in one go.
“Hello, Tas.” The tall, white pony or horse greeted. Her fur, wings, and horn were pure white. She had a golden crown and a colorful wavy mane. My jaw dropped from the unexpectedness. The first thing people would ask would be “how did you know my name?” What I asked was “Where am I?” The pony or horse smiled. “I’ll explain everything later. Right now, your study of magic begins with this pony.” A purple pony with wings and a horn walked in next to the other pony, which I can confirm that is a pony.
“Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I am here to- hello?” My jaw was still hanging. “Uh, heh heh, hello?” I blinked a few times and shook my head.
“Hi, my name is Tas. Apparently; I’m supposed to be your student, even though I haven’t really signed up for this.” I introduced myself. Lifting one hand- I mean hoof off the ground, I pointed towards her, waiting for a hand- ugh, hoofshake. Twilight smiled and we shook.
“While you two get a long,” the white pony started, “Twilight, why don’t you give him a tour of Ponyville?”
“Sure thing Princess Celestia.” Twilight replied. “Come on, I have a lot to show you in Ponyville.”
“And that’s all the exciting locations in Ponyville are at!” Twilight finished.
“That was. All. Of. The-“ I wheezed as I toppled over to my left. I can’t wait until I learn how to teleport. Running 3 miles is pretty hard to do in less than one second, especially if you have bad balance. Twilight must have forgotten about my lack of training. "Plus, who- sigh, was that pink- pant, were you talking to?"
"That was my friend, Pinkie Pie. Come on in, I have to show you something." Twilight answered. I rolled over onto my hooves and stood up straight. Twilight Sparkle opened the door, and confetti exploded from the door.
"Ptoo! Huh?" My eyes widened as a banner was hanging from the ceiling saying "WELCOME TO PONYVILLE!" My legs began to shake a little and all of my energy was restored. I hopped up and bolted inside and right to the cake. My body can't contain all of this excitement I'm getting.
"Hi there!" My ears twitched and I turned around and became face to face with a pink pony. Startled, I walked back a little and bumped into the table. It shook, but nothing fell. "Welcome to Ponyville! I'm Pinkie Pie and I like to throw parties! I like to throw parties for everypony in Ponyville, including birthday parties. They don't even have to ask! How you might ask, I remember everypony's birthday and they get a huge surprise at home! Also..." The pony continued to talk and I could barely catch up with her. I began to drool a little when Pinkie Pie started waving her hoof at me.
"Hello?" I blinked and shook my head.
"Oh, it was nice meeting you." I said, trying to buffer what Pinkie just said.
"You too!" She grinned and bounced away. I turned around and looked at the cake, knife, and plate. Hmm, how am I going to do this? I couldn't use any hands since I don't have any. I bit on the handlebar of the knife and carefully cut a slice of the cake. I slid the blade underneath the cake and steadily brought it to my plate. I dropped the knife on the table and began to eat delightfully.
"Ugh," I moaned as I slowly opened my eyes. Wow, that sugar crush got me, did it? As I was bearing the headache I had, I went on my hooves and looked around. Huh, everything is cleaned up, and I'm on a balcony. I looked over the railing and saw the nightlife of Ponyville. The moon shown ever so brightly as it reflected off the glass behind me. I saw a dark figure coming from the moon. My head tilted in confusion as it came closer.
Chapter 2: Kindness and Honesty
"Hello, Tas the Toon Mouse." The pony greeted. "I am Luna, the princess of the moon. (Don't laugh, Tas. I thought to myself) I am here to tell you your mission."
"Okay, what is it?" I asked.
"Recently, a message has been intercepted by dragon in the stars. A planet far away has decided to attack Equestria and claim our land as their own. We currently don't know who they are or what they're capable of, but we need you and your friends to protect us from destruction." Princess Luna explained.
"But my friends are in another world." I told her.
"You'll see, soon enough, that you will find your friends here in Ponyville." Everything began to fade as I fell asleep again.
My eyes snapped open as I found myself in a room I never been in before. The bright sun rays were visible as it entered the room through the window. I rubbed my eyes, got out of bed, and peered out the window. Huh, there's a forest nearby, and a chicken coop. Is that a hummingbird? I opened the window and poked my head outside. CRACK! The edge broke and I fell out of the house. BAM! I face-planted into the ground. Ow, my mouth. I lifted my head and licked my teeth.
"Ouch!" I yelped as my tongue slightly touched the chipped tooth. My gum was slightly bleeding, but it hurts as bad as being poked with a torch. I pulled my lips in and walked around. From what I can figure out, this is an animal rescue hut, or cottage, and I there's a yellow pegasus over- wait a minute. I suddenly stopped and turned my head around. My eyes was fixed on a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. My heart throbbed at the sight. I quietly cleared my throat.
"Hi, err, my name is Ta-" She suddenly looked at me and screamed. She quickly ran behind a bush. She's a shy one, huh? I slowly began to approach her. "Hi, my name is Tas, and, ow," my teeth was preventing me from talking. Plus, I have no idea what I'm talking about. "I, ow, don't really know what- ow, I'm doing here." My teeth were burning from this.
"Um, my name is Fl[size=8]u[/size][size=7]t[/size][size=6]t...[/size]" She spoke quietly.
"Hmm? I didn't quite get that." I replied.
"I'm..." She squealed. She heavily reminded me of when I was a little mouse. Ever since I got in trouble for talking excessively, I became shy as a panda. (Pandas are shy, right?) I didn't like the feeling of getting in trouble, so I steered clear of that path. Until a few years ago, I learned how to raise my voice and I'm not afraid of talking.
"It's okay, I won't cause any- ow, harm. I just need to- ow..." I sat back onto my black tail and held my hooves where my mouth was. The pain was beginning to become unbearable. "Do you know where the dentist is?" I muffled. Flutter-something carefully left the bush and walked to me.
"A-are you okay?" She asked. I opened my mouth and pointed at my chipped tooth. "Oh, my! Stay right here, I-I need to get the t-things." She quickly flew away into her cottage. After three minutes of pain, she came back with a toolbox and a wheeled bed. "Here, lay on th-this bed." I obediently climbed onto the bed and lied on my back. "Oh, my name is Fluttershy, if you wanted to know." I wanted to say something back, but my teeth was still burning in pain. Fluttershy began to inspect my teeth and started fixing it. She healed the gum and added the filling to the teeth. After we were done, I licked my top teeth. Nice and neat like before.
"Thanks Fluttershy." I said as I climbed off the bed and onto the ground. "Anything that I owe you?"
"Oh, um, no thank you." She said as she hid her face in her mane. There was an awkward silence between us as we blushed. I kicked at the dirt with my back legs.
"Uh, thanks again, Fluttershy. Nice to meet you." I turned around and began to walk away when Fluttershy quickly said something.
"That's the wrong way to Ponyville. Here, I'll show you the way." I stopped at my tracks and turned around again.
"Err, thanks." I caught up to Fluttershy and walked with her towards the correct direction.
"So, um, how come I woke up at your cottage?" I asked.
"Well, Twilight was setting up your bed at her house and she, uh, asked me if I could help her and give you a place to sleep. I decided to lend my room while I slept on the couch." Fluttershy explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry for that." I apologized.
"It's no problem. I like to rest on the couch." She smiled. I began to blush and I jerked my head forward. "A-am I making your uncomfortable?"
"No, not at all." I somewhat lied. "Well, actually, how am I going to say this, but..." My mouth ran faster than my brain, and I ran out of things to say.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy inquired. My mouth was open, but nothing came out. "Did you lose your voice?" I shook my head and cleared my throat. I'm just as shy about this as Fluttershy.
"N-never mind." I looked forward and saw an orange pony running our way.
"Hey, it's Applejack!" Fluttershy shouted.
"Yee-haw!" Not only was a pony coming to us, but she was dragging a cart full of apples with her. On top of that, she had a dog by her side, too. "Hey Fluttershy!" When she came close enough to us, she slowed down to a stop. "Who's yer new friend here?"
"His name is Tas." Fluttershy answered.
"That's a nice name. My name is Applejack. It's great to see a new face 'round here." She took my right hoof and shook it up and down. "Say, do you wanna come over to Sweet Apple Acres? We harvest the best apples in Ponyville!"
"Sounds like a plan." I said.
"Here, follow me." She dashed off past Fluttershy and I. I turned around and began to run behind her with Fluttershy trailing behind. Boy was Applejack a fast one, but not as fast as me! I began to speed up, getting closer to Applejack. "Oh no you don't!"
"Oh yeah I am!" A small black trail appeared behind me as I passed Applejack. I didn't realize I left poor Fluttershy behind until I looked back to see where Applejack was at. Not only was she pretty far behind, but Fluttershy looked like a teeny tiny dot. I skidded to a stop and ran back to Fluttershy.
"Sorry about that, got a little carried away."
"Come on, I can do it, I can do it, I can... DRATS!" My face fell onto the desk covered in sweat and broken glass. I better clean up before I get hurt. I knew where the dustpan and brush are, so I guess I can try to use magic... again. I concentrated again where the two items are. My floppy ears began to have a brown aura around it, indicating that my magic is working. I concentrated on bringing the items to me, and I looked to see the items coming in. I was cheering in the inside for getting it to work, which may have caused me to break my concentration and made me fail. I slumped back into my chair with my neck bent over. I need some water, and I'm not going to use magic again. I got up, brushed up the glass, and went to the kitchen and had a glass of ice cold water.
"Hey Tas-" I my eyes shot at the door and my ears flashed and a hole on the door appeared with my friend right in front of it. "Whoa, you could've just told me you don't want me here."
"Sorry about that, Flappy. Say, may I ask why you're here?" I asked.
"I just came to tell you that I read your mail-"
"You read my mail?!" I interrupted.
"Yes, and you were accepted to the video game tournament." Flappy continued. My jaw dropped. All I could think was "YES YES YES YES..."
"YEEEES!" I screamed. I threw my arms up into the air, and my ears began to glow. Wait, it's supposed to have an aura around it.
WOOOSH!
