Our World

"Girls, it's not a dragon, see?" Twilight sighed impatiently; she walked up to it and touched it, rubbing it and saying "Good Boy!" as if it were a...tamable dragon? All the girls slowly stepped out behind trees and watched Twilight petting the neon building. Fluttershy 'daww'ed and came to pet it - she didn't react when her hoof sizzled from touching it.
Almost instantly Rainbow was flying around in lakes of water (that tasted like chemicals), Fluttershy trying to pet wild squirrels running around trees, Pinkie twirling around the neon building, Rarity was admiring how the clouds were moving on their own, Applejack was eating wild berries and nuts on bushes and Twilight was trying to figure out how to get back home.
"Twah, ya don't need to figure out how to get back. Sure, we all miss our family and friends, but for now just enjoy the world we're in right now." Applejack stated, shoving down millions of berries on tree branches. Rainbow Dash, shivering and cold, flew into a cloud to get dry - doing so, she gasped as she smashed into a tree below the cloud.
"What the-?!" Rainbow stuttered, looking at the cloud up above her head. She flew back up and kicked the cloud: Her hoof went right through the cloud as if it weren't there, but RD could feel a surge of goosebumps as the transparent cloud went through her hoof. Pinkie was watching the commotion in the sky and jumped up extremely high and stopped in midair. She scooped up a hoofful of clouds and fell back down, nibbling on the cloud.
"BLAUGH! It tastes like salty water!" Pinkie gagged. Rainbow rolled her eyes (completely ignoring how Pinkie defied gravity, and honestly didn't want to know why) and watched as the clouds remarkably move all alone. Twilight was looking at the green grass and counting how many butterflies she could count.
She only counted the dead one on the neon building, squashed.
After a few hours, Pinkie started knawing a tree branch out of boredom ("Ew! Stop eating that Pinkie!" Rarity belched.)
and Twilight started reading the codes scratched into trees (Lily X Steven, Taylor X John, etc.). Soon enough, the ponies had nothing to do as the sun set.
A teenage human man walked across the corner and into the park. He lifted his head up (expecting little girls) and gasped at the candy colored ponies. He dropped his GameBoy and completely ignored that his Charizard fainted by Blastoise. Rainbow was the first to see him - in defense, she ran up to him and bucked him in the shins. The man yelped as he fell to the ground. Applejack saw RD make a move and kicked her in the flank lightly. RD turned up to look at her, panicked. AJ shook her head viciously.
RD sighed through her nose, smoke piling out of her nostrils like a bull. Almost instantly, the man stood up and backed away from them. He pulled out a rectangular device, and after pushing a few buttons he pulled it up to his ear.
"Y-Yes, hello. Can I speak to the pound owner?" He stuttered. RD looked at him in amazement and anger.
"Yes, hello. This is Hulio Gaiter again, Mark. Well," The man said, looking at the ponies nervously. "There's a blue Pegasus with rainbow hair, a yellow Pegasus with pink hair, an orange pony with a hat, a purple...unicorn with wings and a white unicorn with purple ha- No, Mark, I'm not going crazy, this is real! Really! No, don't hang up! PLEASE! N-.....He hung up..." He looked at Applejack with a nervous look.
"What do you want, alien? We ain't messing with strangers..." AppleJack grunted with smoke quickly puffing out of her nostrils. Hulio's eyes widened.
"You guys can t-t-talk?"
Rarity made a face that made her look highly offended.
"Well, since you guys are talking ponies I'll take you as my own! All I have to do is make sure nobody sees you." Hulio whispered to them. RD took a step back.
"Why should we? You're a random alien that asked us to go into your house." Her scratchy voice bravely stated.
"Because," Hulio said in reply. "if someone sees you, they'll call a pound - and the pound will either send you to the scientists to have you dissected and studied," (Twilight winced and held her wings defensively) "or they will send you to a doctor who will treat you like a baby and will put different medicines and things in you to test you out."
They all scooted close to Hulio as they walked to his apartment.
