For the second time in less than 10 minutes, the restaurant lapsed into complete silence. This time however, everyone had fear, disgust and confusion on their faces.

"W-what was that, s-sir?" The waiter stammered.

"I said, do you have an-" Suddenly, everything clicked. These things are ponies. Ponies are herbivores.

"Oh, fuck!" I shouted, hurriedly looking over the menu again. "No, s-scratch that. I-I'll just have the... Um...Uh...T-The fruit salad!"

"O-ok then, sir." The waiter said, looking away from me and turning to Twilight and Fluttershy. "And what about you two?"

"Uh, i'll have a daisy-salad sandwich" Twilight said, still looking at me weirdly.

"Um, i'll have a salad, if it's to much trouble." Fluttershy said, strangely not as fazed as everyone else.

After hearing this, most of the ponies went back to their meals, some still giving glances, dirty and/or curious, my way.

"So, Anthony" Twilight said, looking at me. "Why were you so eager to get here? And, by the way, that's probably the fastest i've ever seen anyone run in my life. You probably clocked at least 30 kilometres an hour!"

I looked at her, perplexed. "Uh, thanks, I guess." I said. "And I got here so fast because I was hungry, and i'm a wog. And when you get between a hungry wog, and his food, you better either have a good reason, or a death wish"

Twilight looked at me, confused. "What's a 'wog'?" She asked.

I face-palmed. Of course they wouldn't know what a wog is. They had no races (besides the unicorns, pegasi and the regular ponies), and probably didn't have any discriminatory slangs for them.

"Well, were I come from, the term 'wog' was a discriminatory slang for a European, mainly Italians." I said, earning more confused looks from the purple mare.

"Why would you want to be called something that's discriminatory? And whats European? Or Italian?" Twilight asked, confusion growing ever more.

"I said it was a discriminatory slang" I explained. "It really means nothing bad now. And Europe is one of the 5 continents on my planet, and Italy is one of the countries within it. I'm Italian, Greek, another country from Europe, and Australian, a separate continent. That's why i'm a wog. One of the main reasons why wogs are so distinguishable, is their appetite. On average, a human would normally eat maybe a kilo and a half of food per day. But wogs have been known to eat maybe two, or even more, kilograms in one sitting!"

Upon finishing that sentence, the front doors to the restaurant opened, and in flew a blue pegasus, with a rainbow mane and rose eyes. She (I think? I wasn't good at telling the genders of these ponies) scanned the room, and, when she spotted our table, grinned, and started towards us.

"Hey Twilight, Fluttershy, and, weird looking...Uh, thing?" She said in a scratchy, tomboyish voice. "Mind if I pull up a seat?"

"Not at all Rainbow!" Fluttershy said, smiling.

"Hey Rainbow Dash, how've you been?" Twilight asked, levitating a chair over, from an unoccupied table, of course, for Rainbow.

"Oh, well I was just practicing some of my best tricks, some to surely impress the Wonderbolts, when, all of a sudden, I spot this big thing (she pointed her hoof at me) running towards here, like he was being chased by something from Tartarus!" She said, flying up in the air and using exaggerated hand gestures (*sigh* i'm never gonna get used to this 'hand-hoof' thing, am I).

"Now, you all know that i'm the fastest pony around, right?" She asked, and everyone nodded. I, having no idea what was going on, just sat there, doing nothing. "Well this thing can run! I don't think even I could keep up with it! Well, if I weren't flying, of course." She finished, looking at me in awe and a bit of confusion. "Just one question though." She said.

I decided to respond, seeing how the question was directed at me. "Fire away." I said.

Rainbow seemed a bit surprised at my voice, but regained her composure and said: "Ok, who, and what, the hay are you!?"

I sighed, expecting such a question. "Well, my name is Anthony Marin. I have reason to believe that I come from a different world, don't ask questions just yet." I said, as she opened her mouth to speak. "My species are called humans. You may call me Anthony, but my friends call me Ant. And I don't think i'd ever be faster than any quadruped. Ponies where I come from can gallop in speeds over 50 kilometres per hour. Unless a ponies top running speed is slower here, I'd never be able to outrun a pony."

All of the ponies at the table looked at me, surprise clear on their faces.

"Ponies are that fast on hoof! That's so cool! I can only get up to 20 kilometres per hour if i'm really going for it, and Applejack can get maybe 25." Rainbow exclaimed. "When i'm flying, however, I can go so fast that I can do a sonic rainboom! I'm the only pony in existence to ever do one, and I did that when I was a filly!"

"What's a sonic rainboom?" I asked.

"What!" Rainbow shouted, once again taking to the air. "You're telling me that you don't know what the most awesome thing in Equestr-" She stopped when I raised my eyebrow. "Oh right. Different world and all." She realised, settling back down into her chair. "Well a sonic rainboom is a combination of a sonic boom, and a rainbow. It happens only if a pegasus is travelling fast enough. If they do it right, a mach cone forms around them and they shoot forward at more than 10 times the speed at which they started. If they do it wrong, then they get pushed back by the sound barrier, and thrown away."

"Wait, you're telling me that you flew faster than the speed of sound! And when you were a kid, nonetheless!" I whistled. "Fuck me, that's impressive!"

The waiter appeared at the side of our table, plates and bowls of food carried in his magical grip.

"Here's your food, madame's and sir. I see you also have another guest." He said, now talking to Rainbow. "Would you like anything, miss Dash?" It seemed to me like Rainbow was a regular customer here.

"Sure, get me a plate of hay fries, please." She said.

"Of course, madame" The waiter said, before trotting away.

I, now completely oblivious to the world around me, dug into the fruit salad.

'This is fucking amazing!' I thought as I downed the whole bowl in about 10 seconds. The fruit tasted like no other fruit found on Earth. The strawberries tasted fresh and slightly sour, the way I like them. The watermelon was crisp and juicy. The grapes were firm and large. All in all, it was perfection.

The portions, however, were made for a pony, who had a small appetite. Me, having not eaten in 3 days, still felt absolutely famished after such a small bowl.

I leaned over to Twilight and asked if it were ok for me to order a few more bowls of fruit salad. She nodded, telling me that this was 'her treat'. Goddamn these ponies, they're so nice. So I called the waiter over, and asked for 2 more bowls of fruit salad.

Rainbow Dash looked at me, awe on her face. "Wow! You ate all of that in 10 seconds flat! I don't think anypony could do that, not even competitive eaters!" She said.

"I eat fast, and a lot, because i'm a wog." I raised my hand to silence her questions. "Ask Twilight and Fluttershy. I explained everything to them before you got here."

The waiter returned, carrying Dash's plate of fries. He put them down in front of the pegasus, who tucked in heartily (I guess training really takes it out of her. I know it used to get me really hungry afterwards!). The waiter turned to me, and told me my food would be ready shortly.

"So, Anthony" Twilight said, wiping her mouth. "I was wondering if you would like to have a tour around town, maybe tomorrow?"

"Sure, but why not today?" I asked.

"Well, I am the librarian at the library" She explained. "And Spike, even though he is a dragon, he's still a baby dragon. I have to look after him."

"I'm afraid I can't either." Fluttershy added. "I have a few animals that need to be tended to. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"It's ok, guys." I said, even though I really wanted to see the town, and meet some more ponies. "I can't expect you to put your lives on hold to help me out. Tomorrow's fine."

Rainbow Dash looked up from her clean plate and said, mouth half full of food: "Don't worry big guy, i'll take ya around Ponyville!"

I brightened at this. "Cool!" I said. "I kinda want to see some of your aerial tricks, if you wouldn't mind."

"Sure thing!" Rainbow said, puffing out her chest. "My tricks are the best in all of Equestria! Who wouldn't want to see 'em?"

"Definitely not me!" I said, eager to go.

Just as I was about to get up, however, the waiter walked up to our table, and placed two more bowls of fruit salad down in front of me. "Hold up Rainbow!" I called to the departing pegasus. "I've got to eat, first!"

Rainbow turned around. "Oh, right!" She said, sitting down once again. "And Ant, call me Dash. All my friends do" She added with a wink.

==========

After I finished my food, Dash and I walked Twilight to her house. She said that I could come back to her place after we were done, seeing as I'd be living there until I knew what was going on.

We then took Fluttershy to her cottage, which was on the edge of the Everfree forest. I heard some animals making a lot of noise in there, so Fluttershy excused herself, and raced off towards her home.

That just left me and Dash, talking about what we should see first.

"I kinda wanna meet your friends, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie."

"How do you know who they are?" Dash asked.

"Well, I had a dream" (I lol'd internally at that. Martin Luther King Jr. quotes for the win!) "And Princess Luna appeared in it. She told me to go to Canterlot with Twilight and her friends, which I now know are you, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. So I want to know who i'm gonna be traveling to Canterlot with. It would be better to know everyone before the train ride, otherwise things might get awkward."

Dash looked impressed. "Good thinking there, bud!" She said, a mischievous glint appearing in her eyes. "On one condition."

"What?" I asked, expecting a challenge to a footrace (or hoofrace, not quite sure about this one). I wasn't disappointed.

"I race you to Sugarcube Corner, on hoof!"

"Ok, cool, one problem though." I said. "Where is Sugarcube Corner?"

Dash face-hoofed (ha! Got it!) and said "Ok, start running up this street until you see a giant gingerbread house."

"Gingerbread house" I deadpanned. "Really?"

"Yeah!" Dash exclaimed. "Sugarcube Corner sell the best pastries in all of Equestria!"

'A gingerbread house that sells pastries. Why am I not fucking surprised!' I thought, readying myself for the race.

"On your marks," Dash said, starting the countdown. "Get setgo!" She screamed the last two words almost at the same time, giving her an advantage. I started after her, cursing.

'God fucking dammit!' I thought, starting to pick up speed. 'That's the oldest trick in the book! How did I fall for it?'

Finishing my train of thought, I cursed again, put my eyes to the ground, and gunned it. Sprinting at full pace, I easily caught up to, and passed, Rainbow Dash, who looked up in surprise, obviously not used to seeing someone recover so fast.

'Where is that shop?' I thought, scanning the nearby buildings. 'Ahh, there it i-'

I crashed into a pony, cutting of my thoughts. I, like I normally do after I fall, landed on my side and rolled through, getting to my feet in less than a second. I walked over to the pony and helped it to it's feet.

"I'm so sorry!" I said, looking her over for any cuts or scrapes. "Are you ok?" I asked.

The pony (mare I think) had a grey coat, blonde hair and tail and beautiful golden eyes, which were crossed.

"Oh fuck!" I said, pointing to her eyes. "Did I do that?!"

She laughed, and said "No, they've been like this since I was born." This made me sigh with relief, seeing that I didn't do ant major damage.

"Whoa, Derpy, are you ok?" Dash asked, running up to her aid. "That was one heck of a stack!"

"Yeah, Rainbow, i'm fine." Derpy said "Just maybe a few bruises, but nothing major."

"That's good!" Dash exclaimed, then looking at me, "How did you do that thing there, when you fell? You just got straight back up!" She asked, eyes filled with awe.

I chuckled. "That, Dash, is a 'roll through'. I do it because of habit." I said, recalling some of my old footy days. "Back in my world, we played a game called Australian Rules Football. It's played using a ball, either leather or synthetic rubber, a field, 400 metres in diameter in an oval shape, two big posts and two little posts on either side of the longest parts of the oval and 48 players, 24 for each team. The objective of the game is to run, kick or handball the ball around the ground and into the middle of the big sticks. Um, this is really hard to explain." I said, rubbing the back of my neck. "I've never tried explaining footy to anyone before. But there is a lot of physicality in it, and a lot of people get injuries."

"Sounds pretty cool." Dash admitted.

"Yeah!" Yelled Derpy, looking me in the eyes. "You've gotta teach us how to play, mr... Um... Whats your name?"

"Oh, my name's Anthony, but you can call me Ant if you like." I said, offering a hand to Derpy, who grabbed me around the shoulders and hugged me. I'd meant for a handshake, but she must've taken it the wrong way.

'Oh well' I thought, hugging back. 'At least she's really friendly, and not mad that I bowled her over before.'

Suddenly, I remembered that i'd left my things at Twilights place!

"Uh, Derpy?" I said, getting her attention. "I need to go to Twilights place. I left something important there."

At the mention of the word 'important' Derpy dropped the hug, and ran (gallop- you know what? I don't give a fuck anymore. Fuck this) over to a satchel, which had fallen off her when we collided.

"What's that, Derpy?" I asked, pointing to her bag.

"That's my mailbag." Derpy said. "I'm the mailmare here in Ponyville. And, speaking of that, I have a job to do! Bye Ant, bye Dash!" With that, she flew off, leaving me and Dash alone, once again.

"What did you forget at Twilight's?" Dash asked.

"My phone and this weird necklace that I had." I said, starting to walk towards the treehouse library.

Dash flew up beside me. "What's a phone?" She asked.

I sighed, now having to explain something that I really didn't want to. "A phone, or telephone, is an electrical object that allows me to contact people anywhere on my home planet. It also stores movies, music, games an a lot more other things." I said, quickening my pace to a jog. I remembered that it had only about 40% battery left, and I wanted to listen to some music before it died.

"Oh" was all Dash said, as we reached the library. I knocked, then opened the door, remembering that it was a public library, and walked in.

"Hey Twilight!" I called. "I'm just here to grab some of my stuff that I need. I wont be long!"

Having said that, I walked over to where I slept last night, to find the bed (really just a comfortable couch with blankets and pillows, but was my bed for the moment) neatly made, and all my stuff on the desk next to it.

I grabbed my phone, turned it on, and saw that, somehow the battery had been recharged! Elated, I also grabbed my earphones, plugged them in, and picked out my favourite song. Last man stands, by Dragonforce.

As the guitar solos filled my ears, I noticed a note, where my phone was. It was from Twilight.

It read 'Hi Anthony. I saw your weird looking rectangular prism, and noticed that it was powered by electricity. I started to put a little bit of my electrical energies in it, but the only thing that happened was it started flashing, and a little number in the top right hoof corner changed from 13% to 100%. I'm not sure what I did, but I hope I didn't break it. Sorry?
Twilight.
P.S. I went out with Spike to get more parchment and ink.'

I grinned. Twilight was messing around with my stuff, and accidentally charged my phone! Now I can listen to music as much as I wanted to!

"Sicko!" I exclaimed, as I walked out the door of the library, with Rainbow Dash following close behind.

"What's that?" Dash asked.

"This is my phone, Dash. And these" I said pointing to my headphones, "Are my earphones. They allow music to go from my phone, up along this wire, to the balls on the end. It's really good for listening to music on the go."

Dash looked impressed. "What kind of music do you listen to?" She asked.

I grinned. I always listened to music when I was bored, and I like a lot of genres. This gave me a wide range of songs to listen to if I ever got bored.

"Well, I like a lot of music." I said. "But my favourite genres of music are rock, house music and power metal."

"I like rock" Dash said. "But i've never heard of the other two. What do they sound like?"

I looked at Dash, disbelief creeping it's way on my face.

"You haven't heard power metal or house music?" I asked. I could understand power metal, because not many people have heard of it, but house music? Thats, like, the most popular techno sub-genre!

"Well, have you heard of dubstep?" I asked. When Dash nodded, which I really wasn't expecting, I explained that it was like a different version of dubstep, with not as hard bass drops. I also explained that power metal was like rock, except a lot faster, with better guitar, drums and vocals.

"Can I listen to some?" Dash asked.

"Sure!" I said, taking out one of my earphones and giving it to her. After watching her struggle to put it in her ear, me, being the genius that I am, realised that she would never get it in with hooves. Putting my music on pause, I reached out and put it in for her.

"Thanks" She said. "I don't think these would be good for ponies."

I shrugged. "Maybe that's why they haven't started selling them here."

Looking through my phone, I decided to start off with house music, before we got into the power metal, so I put on Harmony, by Vicetone.

As the song started, I realised that I could see that building that me and Dash had tried to race towards, before I ran into Derpy (literally).

As we got closer and closer, the song started building up more and more. When we reached the door, the drop had almost hit.

I opened the door, and was blown back as, what I guessed was the whole of Ponyville, screamed surprise.

Then the bass dropped.

Author's Note

I might not be able to get chapters out as fast now. I'm gonna start really focusing on my schoolwork.
I'll try to write when I can, but it probably wont be as fast as I am now.
P.S. Couldn't be arsed thinking of a chapter name. Come at me
