Eddie In Equestria

Celestia had told me to wait outside the change room, as she didn’t want the ponies startled, or something to that effect. I waited outside for a good five minutes before Celestia poked her head out the door and said, “You may come in, if you like.” Seeing as I had nothing to lose, I entered the room quietly and none of the bright ponies had noticed I had entered until… clunk. Everyone in the room looked at me as if I was some kind of monster; well I probably was to them. Celestia was the only one in the room who didn’t look shocked, and she said, “Girls, I’d like you all to meet Eddie. He is not from here, so please make him feel comfortable.” As I looked about the room, I noticed each pony had a tattoo one there rear flanks. There where all kinds of tattoos, the pink one had balloons, the orange one had some apples, the yellow one had three pink butterflies, the blue winged one had a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt, the white unicorn had a couple of diamonds, and lastly was the purple one, She was facing me directly and I couldn’t see what hers was. The purple one slowly walked toward me, looking at each detail about me as if she was observing me. When she reached me, she looked up to my face and began to say, “Hello my name is-“, but she was cut off by a pink blur which had grasped itself to my chest. The pink one began to say, “Hey there! My name is Pinkie Pie; these are my friends, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight! What’s your name? Where are you from? How long have you been here? What’s your favorite col-“, Pinkie couldn’t finish as a purple aura had pulled her of me and the purple one approached me again.

“Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. I apologies for Pinkie, she is just being, well… Pinkie. What is your name, if I may ask?” Taking it all in slowly, I begin to say, “It’s alright Twilight Sparkle. I presumed that Pinkie was a little… spontaneous, by the performance she gave tonight. My name is Icar- no, no. My name is Eddie. And if I may ask, who is who?” The Rainbow maned one jumped into the air and began hovering. She poked her chest out and boasted, “My name is Rainbow Dash, This here is Applejack,” Pointing to the orange pony. The orange one gave me a small “Howdy” when she was introduced. “Next is Fluttershy,” Rainbow continued as she hovered over the yellow one whom gave off an “eeepp,” when introduced. Rainbow then hovered over the white one and continued, “This here is Rarity,” whom gave a slight curtsey. Then Rainbow stopped and said, “You already know Pinkie and Twilight. So any more questions?”   I smile slyly and shake my head for a “no.”

Celestia smiled and said, “Good, now if you don’t mind, I have some business to attend to, I’m sure you can show Eddie about Canterlot, until it’s time to leave.” I look at her in shock and asked, “WAIT! Where am I going to stay?” Celestia turned to me in the door with a smile and replied, “I have it sorted out, now go and have a little fun with these mares.” Celestia then walked out of the small room and left me with the group of ponies.

The ponies began to chat away amongst themselves until Twilight said to me, “You can go outside if you wish, we still have to get out of our costumes.” I sighed in relief and exited the small change room. As I walked down the hall, the purple piped piper walked by, and that’s when I discovered he wasn’t a midget, but a lizard midget! I paused and looked at him as he walked by, and he looked up to lifted his head and said, “Sup?” and continued walking down the hall. All I could muster myself to doing was waving weakly as he walked away.

This was going to be a rough experience.
