PJ's Adventures in Equestria

"What d'ya reckon it is Twi?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow, the ape-like creature Twilight had brought back to the library was laying on the floor. This thing was weird and it was found in the Everfree Forest. That alone warranted suspicion.

"I'm not sure AJ but whatever it is it appeared in exactly the same place as the energy readings I've been picking up" Twilight said matter-of-factly. She had gathered her five friends in the library after she had teleported herself, Spike and the creature back.

Fluttershy was sat next to it, looking over it with curiosity. As strange as this creature was she let her love for animals get the better of her nervousness. "Oh dear, I do hope he's alright. From the sound of it you scared this poor dear half to death." She continued looking over it "Whatever species this is I've never seen it around here before. Where do you suppose it came from?"

"Whatever it is I say we kick its flank back to where it came from. I don't trust this thing." Rainbow Dash stated, hovering above the creature whilst giving it a glare.

"We can't do that Rainbow, we have to study it and see if it knows how it got here and what's been causing those portals to show up all over the place. And besides," Twilight shrugs "it might not even be hostile. We won't know until it wakes up."

"Well I don't know about all that but its dress sense is absolutely horrid! Just look at how plain its clothes are, and the dirt it has allowed to get onto them is simply appalling," Rarity said, cringing at its clothes.

"Well it had fallen in the dirt when we first found it, probably a side-effect to having unexpectedly walked through a portal or something."

They all became distracted by a bouncing pink mass bouncing around the room talking at high speeds "Oh boy a new friend! Do you think it wants to be friends? I hope it wants to be friends! Hey, I have an idea. Let's throw it a PARTY!"

"PINKIE!" they all shouted at once, causing Pinkie Pie to stop bouncing and smile sheepishly.

I groggily awoke to the sound of voices, whatever they were talking about they were using the word 'it' an awful lot. The previous events of the day replayed in my mind and I realised that they must be talking about me. That horse-like 'thing' and the small reptile had found me in the forest and I had passed out from the shock. They must have had friends because I could hear five new voices.

"PINKIE!" I heard them all yell and I was startled out of my thought process, this caused me to jump slightly and I heard a small 'eep' close to me. I opened my eyes to find myself looking face-to-face with more of the talking horses. I appeared to be in some sort of library which I took as a good sign as it obviously meant they were civilised.

Looking around at them I saw the same lavender one from earlier but only now noticed that it had wings and a horn. A Pegasus Unicorn? I thought. I looked at the others and saw next to me a yellow Pegasus with a long pink main covering one of its eyes and another Pegasus flying above me which had a cyan blue coat and rainbow coloured mane and tail which were all roughed up and unkempt, it was giving me what can only be described as a death stare. There was an ordinary Unicorn stood across the room, it had a bright white coat and a purple mane and tail which were surprisingly stylised. To my surprise there were also ordinary horses as well, an orange one with freckles and a blond mane (which was kept in ponytails) and tail and there was a bright pink one with a darker pink mane and tail. Oddly enough it was bouncing around the room with a smile that breaks the laws of physics. The reptile from before was nowhere to be seen.

They all just stared at me until the lavender one spoke up "Um, hello. Can you understand me?" Being too shocked to speak at this stage I simply nodded at her question, resulting in a large gasp from the others. "Okay then, do you have a name?"

I swallowed deeply and had to put all of my will into speaking the next line "M-my name is P-paul but you can just c-call me PJ" The stutter didn't help my nervousness at all.

"Well, okay PJ. I am Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends," she points her hoof at the orange one "Applejack," the pink one "Pinkie PIe," the unicorn "Rarity," the yellow one "Fluttershy," finally, the rainbow-maned one "and Rainbow Dash"

"Howdy there fella," Applejack walked up and offered a hoof which I grabbed and shook apprehensively. She on the other hand (or hoof?) had no problem nearly shaking my arm off. I had to hold my arm in place to stop it shaking when she walked away.

Rarity walked over to me rather elegantly for a horse "It is a pleasure to meet you darling. You simply must stop by the boutique some time and see what we can do about those horrid, no offence, clothes."

Fluttershy simply squeaked something that I can only assume was a hello, apparently I'm a lot more scary when I'm concious. It was actually rather funny, normally I'm the one shitting myself around strangers.

Rainbow Dash simply continued to glare at me for a while before putting a hoof to her eyes and then pointing it at me, to be honest I'm surprised not all of them were as suspicious as she was. This did little to my mood however as I was already bricking it. All that did was support the notion that I was in trouble.

Suddenly Pinkie Pie appeared before me and I jumped out of my skin. "HiI'mPinkiePieandIwanttobeyourfriendandIthinktocelebrateanewfriendweshouldthrowyouaparty!" I visibly got more nervous because of her energetic welcome and started backing off.

Twilight obviously saw my discomfort as she held a hoof over the pink horse's mouth. "Sorry about her, she's like this with every new arrival," She sighed and I could tell she was talking from experience "Now then, I have some questions for you..."

"Hold it right there," I said raising a hand "I have one of my own first. Why the hell is there a load of talking horses?"

"Horses?" Twilight gave me a confused look "I've never heard of those before but if you're referring to us then I need to correct you. We're ponies, not 'horses'"

I took in what she had just said and came to only one possible conclusion "So, I'm essentially on a different planet then?"

"I suppose that's one way of putting it," Twilight hummed for a second "although looking at the energy readings I gathered from the area we found you in I'd say you were from a different dimension entirely"

I started breathing heavily upon hearing this. I wasn't hyperventilating but heavy breathing normally helps me to adjust to a situation faster. In the end this wasn't all bad, I didn't have to listen the my family's constant bickering about who is fucking who over and why the bitch is doing what she's doing. Thinking about this made me relax but in the end they were still my family and I knew I was going to start missing them at some point. "Okay," I said "ask your questions"

Twilight smiled, her horn glowed and she a notebook and quill floated in front of her surrounded by an aura of purple light "Okay. First of all: what are you?"

"I am a human from the planet Earth, I'm fifteen years old, slightly overweight and I am really nervous right now" Not a great joke but it helps me cope.

"Why are you nervous?" She asks even though the answer is obvious.

"I've just been ripped away from everything familiar and dumped into a world full of intelligent creatures that resemble animals from back home, wouldn't you be nervous?" I replied sarcastically.

She appeared to realise the obviousness of her question because all she could come out with was "Oh" Then she spoke again "How did you get here?"

"I honestly don't know. I can tell you what I was doing when I got here but I don't know how much it'll help"

"Go on" she said.

"Well I was taking a walk around the lake, I was thinking and when the weird light vortex thing appeared in front of me all I could do was think 'holy shit'," everyone visibly cringed when I swore "as I failed to react before walking through it. The next thing I know you and that lizard thingy are stood in front of me speaking and I pass out"

"That 'lizard thingy' was Spike, my assistant. And he's not a lizard. He's a baby dragon"

My eyes widened "You're shitting me right?"

"No I'm not and why do you swear so much?"

"Swearing is socially accepted back home for the most part and old habits die hard so you'll probably catch me doing that a lot"

She jotted something else down on the notebook "Spike!" she called. A few seconds later I saw the purple dragon come rush down the stairs, he stopped when he saw me.

"Oh, so it's awake?" he asked.

"Yes and it's a 'he' not an 'it'" I said slightly annoyed.

"Oh, sorry dude. Anyway what did you want Twilight?"

"Spike, I need you to send this information to Princess Celestia so that she can decide what to do with the situation"

"But Twilight you're a princess too can't you just make that kind of decision?" Rainbow Dash finally spoke, apparently eager to be rid of me.

"No Rainbow. I may be a princess but Princess Celestia rules the country so technically all decisions like this fall to her" Twilight told her. She looked somewhat irritated at her friend.

Twilight tore the page from her notebook and gave it to Spike. He then proceeded to breath a small green flame onto it and the ashes went blowing out the window. "Why did you burn it?" I asked.

"He didn't, that was a spell that delivers the letter directly to Princess Celestia. We should hear from her by tomorrow regarding what you will do"

I sighed. It looks like it's time to play the waiting game.
