After coming to terms with the fact that he had just seen two mythical creatures, John decided he'd go find the folks of this seemingly nice looking town. He wasn't use to walking into town though, normally he'd ride in on his noble steed. When he saw the sign that said 'Welcome to Ponyville!' on it, he began to get a dim thought that maybe...Just maybe there are no people around.

The town was empty, not a person nor pony in sight. "Hello?..Hello is anyone here?!" He walked around hoping someone would respond, but no one did. John continued to walk through this empty town, he was taking in the sights. It looked like nothing back in New Austin.

"What the hell is all this?.." Nothing added up, an empty town, colorful ponies and flying horses and unicorns. John clearly recalled dying but he wasn't sure if this was heaven, hell or something in between. There were no streets of gold and people with wings..thats what he was told heaven was like anyway. No fire and a guy with a pointy tail and piss poor attitude, he could of got that back with Dutch.

John noticed a particularly tall tower off in the distance, might as well go see what it is. Maneuvering his way through the town he made his way to the tower. When he got to it, a banner that was hanging from one of its balcony's caught his eye. "Welcome princess celestia?...well that ain't no princess i've heard about..the hell kinda name is celestia anyhow!" This place was just too confusing.

"Maybe there is someone in there who can help me.." John walked up the little stairway, onto the deck and up to its double doors. Pushing them open, what he found in there though was not what he was expecting..

A massive herd of ponies was in this building, staring at larger pony who was laughing manically. It was surprisingly dark in this building, strange looking ponies with bat wings and fangs dropped to the ground, scaring many of those in the herd and scaring John..

Acting on instinct he reached for his revolver, pulling it from his holster and aiming it at one of these demon horses. He squeezed the trigger, the gun discharged and one of these vampire things dropped to the ground dead, with a bullet in its head. Ever single pony in the room turned to the mysterious creature standing just at the doorway, aiming some sort of metal thing at the dead pony.

"Foul beast!" The pony who only moments ago was laughing said. "You will pay for interfering with my grand entrance!"

"I don't know who or what you are but i ain't scared of you!" John shouted in retaliation.

"Simple minded and uneducated, how lovely. No matter...It will still be nighttime forever!" She laughed some more before vanishing in some large cloud of smoke.

"Stupid talkin' horse with your fancy magic tricks!" John said as he turned and walked towards the door.

"Stop right there!" Someone shouted.

John turned around to see a purple unicorn walk out from this herd, or crowd or whatever the hell they would call it. It was clearly a she, he could tell by the voice. She looked at him with extreme interest, looking at the revolver in his hand then to the pony he shot. "What are you?..." She said titling her head to the right.

"Im a person, better question is what are you?" He said gesturing.

"Me? My name is Twilight Sparkle.." She said trying to gain composure. "What is your name?"

"Marston, John Marston..look i don't know where i am i woke up in some field outside this town, i need to get back to my family."

"Maybe i can help you, but you need to help me with something.."

"And what exactly is that?" John looked kinda frustrated, was getting sick of doing all these different tasks.

"Follow me." Twilight trotted out of the building, John followed leaving all these ponies to contemplate what just happened.

As they walked to wherever twilight was taking them, she tried to make conversation.

"What are you again? A person?" She said.

"Yeah y'know, a person. a uh..uh human!" He said looking around.

"I thought those were only myths.."

"Funny, where i come from unicorns are myths."

"Well.." she paused. "I don't know what world you're from, but lets get you back there."

They walked into a tree house, literally a house built into a tree of all things. Doesn't seem safe to John yet nether was his criminal lifestyle. "You live in a tree?" He said in an shocked yet also interested manor.

"Yes, isn't that normal for your kind?"

"Uh, not really we live in houses. Regular houses."

Twilight shook her head a bit, "Oh dear Celestia..you are very strange."

"The talking purple unicorn thinks im strange.." John said jokingly.

"The tall talking slender thing thinks IM strange.." They both managed to share a laugh.
