As twilight began, the Avengers noticed the small town Janet had seen earlier. The only thing standing between them and the town was a moderately sized orchard. At the north most portion of the orchard, there was a large red barn and a smaller house. All of the lights seemed to still be on inside.

“We could stop and see what we can learn, or we could continue to town.” Cap suggested.

“I think we should go on into town. Also, we should probably walk around the orchard. We really don’t know this plane’s property laws.” Tony added.

Hank added after Tony, “I agree, the town seems like the best place to go. Then we won’t trouble this family. We may be able to find a hotel or something.”

“Any objections to the town?” Cap asked.

“Nah, let’s just hurry. I’m tired.” Janet added.

“Aye. This day hath been trying for us all.” Thor added.

“Alright. Let’s go.” Cap decided. And with that, they headed to the town.

Upon entering the city, the Avengers started seeing that this town was not as small as they originally thought. They noticed what appeared to be a gingerbread house, which was a center of commotion.

“I think we should start there. It seems like that would be the best way to get information.” Bruce suggested.

“I agree. Go in and try to act normal. Blend in and try not to arouse suspicion.” Cap ordered.

As the Avengers entered the building, every eye turned towards the door. After what seemed like a solid fifteen minutes, a happy pink horse descended from the ceiling.

“Hey, youmustbenew! BecauseIknoweveryponyhere, andyouaren’tfromaroundhere, becauseifyouwereIwouldknowyou!” the small pony shouted excitedly. “I’m Pinkie Pie, and this is my house. Welcome to Ponyville! I can introduce you to everypony in the whole town if you’d like!”

“Umm… What?” Tony was the first to speak. “I caught only bits and pieces of that.”

“Oh, don’t mind her. She gets really excited to meet new ponies. The name’s Rainbow Dash, best flyer in all of Equestria.” A light blue pony with a rainbow mane and tale said from behind. “By the way, cool armor.”

“Thanks. It is a highly advanced prosthesis I designed while in captivity. It keeps me from dying due to shrapnel that continually moves closer to my heart.” Tony responded.

“What’s shrapnel?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Chunks of metal that are now floating around in my body.” Tony said finally raising his faceplate.

Cap, deciding that this conversation was going nowhere, turned back to Pinkie Pie. “We are looking for a place to stay tonight. We don’t have any money, but are willing to work to pay our keep. Also, anybody who can give us information would be helpful.”

“Well, I know where an inn is, but I don’t know about where you can find work. But I know the bestest pony around for information! Follow me!” Pinkie excitedly bounced off into the crowd as Cap and Thor followed.

“TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!” Pinkie yelled as she bounded and seemingly teleported through the party.

“Yes, Pinkie?” A purple pony with a pink, purple and dark blue, whom Cap assumed was Twilight, answered. “Can I help you with something?”

“Yeah! There are new ponies over there who need your help, I don’t know their names but… I DON’T KNOW THEIR NAMES?! WHAT HAVE I DONE? I NEVER GOT THEIR NAMES?!” Pinkie started to yell.

“Calm down Pinkie, it is fine, I’m sure they are just a little thrown off by all of this. If you give it a bit of time, I’m sure you’ll get their names.” Twilight reassured her as they headed back to Thor and Cap.

“Hello ma’am, I am Captain Steven Rogers, and this is Thor. We were informed you could help us.” Cap greeted Twilight as Thor gave a slight bow. Cap noticed that, like Thor, Twilight had wings and a horn.

Twilight eyed both Captain Steven Rogers and Thor and thought that they both had really odd names. Furthermore, they were large. The Captain was easily the size of Big Mac, and Thor was at least two hoofs taller than Princess Celestia. Thor was also an alicorn. He carried a hammer while the Captain carried a shield. It was odd to see anypony outside of the royal guard carrying a weapon. “I am Twilight Sparkle, and I see you have met Pinkie Pie. Let’s talk outside where it is a little quieter.” Twilight said as she led the three ponies outside.

“What can I help you with?” Twilight started once the four of them were outside.

Thor responded, “As you may have guessed, we are not from around here. We have traveled quite far and are lost in thine culture. We also require shelter for the night, but lack any compensation, minus our own skills and ability and willingness to work. We would be eternally grateful for all assistance you could provide.”

“Yeah, I pegged you guys for foreigners since I saw you. As you might have seen, you are dressed pretty oddly… But I know the innkeeper, he can probably set you guys up in rooms for free tonight. I’ll meet you in the morning, and I’ll bring a friend who will help you fit in. Then we will help you find something to do. But go rest for the night. Pinkie, if you would show them to the inn…” Twilight finished with an oddly knowing smile, like as if she was also in this position before.

“Thank you ma’am.”

“Aye, thank thee Lady Sparkle.”

“Twilight’s fine.” Twilight said as she re-entered the party.

“Okie dokie loki! Let’s get you guys to the inn!” Pinkie Pie stated as they went to find the rest of their party.
