A Little Excursion

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I awoke to a variety of smells and noises coming from the tiny kitchen. I looked up to see Twilight using her magic to flip what it looked like to be an egg in a pan.

“Whatcha making over there?” I inquired.

“Oh your awake!” said the startled Twilight. “Just making some eggs.”

“But you’re a pony,” I stated. “Ponies eat eggs?”

“No it’s for you silly!” answered Twilight. “Eggs and fish are the only exceptions we give to omnivores like you!” When Twilight first took me in, she unloaded a monstrosity of questions on me. One of which was what type of food I ate. When I answered her stating that I ate both plants and meat, Twilight became rather startled. However I explained that humans were the only sentient beings back where I lived, and that we didn’t eat horses or ponies no matter what. She relaxed a bit after I explained this and I assured her I would do no meat eating of any kind during my stay in Equestria.

“Eat up! You got am eventful day today!” announced Twilight.

“That’s an understatement” mumbled Spike.

“Wait, how so?” I questioned.

“I promised your presence at sugar cube corner for the entire day.” said Twilight.

“What, am I working there now?” I teased.

“Not exactly.” Responded Twilight as she game me a smug grin. Oh okay, I know exactly what’s going on. Pinkie is throwing me one of her legendary surprise parties. Yup Twilight and Spike were both right. Its going to be an eventful day and that is an understatement.

I ate my eggs and drank my juice, then brushed my teeth. As I looked up to the mirror in Twilights microscopic bathroom it hit me. I’m wearing the same smelly baseball clothes I had at practice. I wore a red shirt that had the word ‘Knights’ in big black letters, and I had it tucked in to my grey baseball pants held up with a black belt which were pulled up to my knees, revealing red socks. I didn’t have my hat however which revealed thick wavy black hair.

In an effort to look slightly more presentable, I pulled my pant legs down so that my socks were covered. Then I desperately began to comb my hair which was imbedded with cowlicks.

“This is ridiculous.” I muttered to myself. I guess it is true, when one comes to Equestria, the have to visit Rarity to get new clothes. Twilight said we had to leave in a few minutes so that visit would have to wait. I made my way downstairs to a waiting Spike and Twilight.

“So, how do I look?” I asked.

“Tall.” said Spike blankly.

“Err, um interesting!” blurted out Twilight.

“Ha-ha, you guys don’t have to lie to me.” I laughed. “I know I need new clothes, so ill probably visit Rarity soon.”

“Good idea.” said Twilight as we walked out the door. “Wait, how did you know Rarity made clothes?”

“I err um, can’t you tell?” I fumbled “Her style sense and well oh look we’re here!” Thankfully, Sugarcube corner stood before us as I received suspicious looks from both Twilight and her assistant.

“Ill open it!” bubbled a now excited Spike. Brace for impact aaaaaand, nothing? Sure enough the eating establishment was completely empty, not a pony in site, there was however an envelope on the floor addressed to ‘Human Thing.’ Knowing the intentions I picked it up and opened it. I was surprised when about two gallons of confetti poured out of it, followed by a little note, it reads as followed.

“Dear Human Thing, its Pinkie!!!!! Soooooo glad you got my note! Did you like the confetti? Did ya? Did ya? Wellll anyways this note is to inform you that your presence is required at Applejacks barn instead. Xoxo – Pinke.”

Letting out an annoyed sigh I exited the restaurant followed by the alicorn and dragon to Applejack’s barn. This was actually the first time I had strolled through Ponyville when it was populated, and ponies were seeing me for the first time. Their reactions to me weren’t too bad; most were just a double take and then back to business. But one recognizable unicorn pushed the boundaries. The moment the minty green pony laid her eyes on me they did not come off. I waited a good ten seconds before I told Twilight.

“Hey what’s that mare’s problem over there?” I questioned.

“Oh that’s just Lyra, which makes me wish I warned her about your arrival.” said Twilight. “Yeah and she’s obsessed with these creatures that look just like you” A look of realization came on Twilights face as she put things together.

“Sweet Celestia!” gasped Twilight. “You’re one of the creatures that Lyra has been studying!”

“No kidding” I chuckled.

“Oh, now I feel so bad!” exclaimed Twilight. “No body believed her, and I thought she was just crazy!”

I looked back at the still gaping Lyra and gave her a smile and a wave. She returned the favor but fainted dead away afterwards.

“Lets just get to Applejacks okay?” I insisted.

We were now making our way through the Apple family’s apple orchard. There were trees as far as the eye could see. In comparison to me however the trees were quite small, only about four feet taller than me. We then reached the front of the barn. Nearby there was a barrel with an apple on it with a piece of paper that said, ‘To: Human Thing.” Being the polite person that I am, I took the apple and gave it a big bite.

“Oh my god.” It was the greatest thing I have every put in my mouth. My taste buds were practically having sex.

“This ish grevt” I sputtered out between bites. I mean it was so fucking good! I was on my third bite when I began to feel a little drowsy and dizzy. I looked over to the now three Twilights and Spikes.

“Hey guyssss, sssomethins not right” I mumbled out as my vision blurred and I went black.
