Episode 000: Story Of My Life

  Maxwell's POV

  There I lay in my soft bed.  I awake to the sound of my beeping alarm.  I turn it off and rise from my bed.  I get dressed in my work clothes and head downstairs to my kitchen.  I pour myself a bowl of cereal and eat it.  Just as I finished, I got a phone call from my job.

  " Hello?"  Said the man on the other line.

  "  Oh no, it's my boss."  I thought this would be bad news until he told me this;

  "  Maxwell, you're off for work today. Enjoy yourself!"  He says.

  " Thank you, Mr. Warlen.  I will see you on Monday."  I say.

  I hang up and place my phone on the table.  I could go back to my sleep but I was too wide awake to do so now.  I went back upstairs, and switched into a dark grey hoodie, and some dark jeans.  I liked dark colors, in a way they fit my personality.  I usually stay to myself and have little too no friends.  To be honest, I've always had trouble making friends.

  For some reason, I've always had trouble doing so.  It probably was just my shyness over-running me. The closest thing to friends I have are my Nineteen year old brother, Earl, and my Twenty-Three year old sister, Megan.  Speaking of Megan and Earl, Megan is calling me right now.

   "  Hello?"  I say.

   " Hey, Maxwell! It's Megan and Earl!   We're watching the new My Little Pony!  You wanna come over?!"  She asked happily.

  I sigh and then give my reply.

  "  I told you guys I'm not into the whole Brony/Pegasister thing."  I reply in my usual mono-tone voice.

  "  Well, sorry.  I'll talk to you later, Bro."  She said as she hung up.

  I don't know if I mentioned this but, the name's, Maxwell.  I'm Twenty Years Old.  And no, I am not a Brony, nor do I enjoy My Little Pony to begin with.  It's too colorful, bright, and girly.....  Hell, I might just have a heart-attack if I ever somehow went into that world of ponies.

  I shook the thought out of my head, I decided to go for a simple walk around my neighborhood.  I put on my shoes and headed outside.

  As I walked, I put in my earphones and listened to my favorite song, Crawling, by Linkin Park.  During my walk, I noticed something....  odd....  I felt as if the ground was sinking under me....  Nah.  That couldn't right. As I continued with my walk, the feeling became more severe.  And just like that, I realized....  I was in the middle of a sinkhole.  The ground was slowly but surely sinking.  It got about a couple feet deep and it was to steep to even get out.  The ground sunk about another couple feet.  I decided to prepare for the worst.  And suddenly, I saw a blinding, no, ENGULFING white light.  And then, every thing faded.

  " Hello?  Are you okay, Mister? Mister?"  Said some voices.

  "  I think he's dead."  Said a voice.

  "  Be quiet, Scootaloo!  He's not dead!"  Said a southern-like voice.

  My eyes fluttered open to see three odd creatures.  One was orange with small wings, one had curly hair and a horn, and the other had a bow in it's head.  What ARE these creatures?!

  "  Look!  He's gettin' up!"  Said the thing with a bow in it's head.

  I had trouble getting back up on my feet.  But I looked down to see something shocking.....  I had no feet....  I had.....  HOOVES?  Dear God, what's happening?

  "  Hey, Mister?  Are you alright?"       Asked the one with wings.

  "  Ugh. Yeah, I'm fine."  I said, still getting used to these hooves.

  "  What's your name?"  Asked the one with curly hair.

  "  Name's, Maxwell."  I said in my mono-tone voice.

  "  Mah name's, Apple Bloom!  Nice to

meet ya'!"  She said happily.

  " My name's, Sweetie Belle!  It's really nice to meet you, Sir!"  She said.

  " The name's, Scootaloo!"  She said happily.

  " Apple Bloom?  Sweetie Belle?  Scootaloo?  Those are some odd names."  I thought to my self.

  "  And look at his Cutie Mark!"  Said Scootaloo impressed.

  " Cutie Mark?  What's a Cutie Mark?"  I ask quietly.

  "  You don't know?  Well, a Cutie Mark is a mark on your flank that shows what your good at!"  Said Sweetie Belle.

  "  Wait, flank?  Hooves?  Don't tell me I have a tail and muzzle too?"  I asked them.

  " Yeah.  Everypony does!"  Scootaloo said.

  "  Where exactly am I?"  I asked.

  "  Why, you're in Ponyville!"  Said Apple Bloom.

  My eyes widened.  I'm a stallion in the world of My Little Pony.  I might be here for a while.  I better find out more about this place.

  "  Can you direct me to the nearest library?"  I asked the trio.

  " Sure!  Princess Twilight's Library is just 5 mintues away!  Go north, and just go to your right.  And there you go!"  Said Scootaloo.

  " Thank you."  I say as I ran off.

   Now I know my life is going to change, whether I like it or not.

Episode 001: The Mane Six

  Maxwell's POV

  I trotted silently through the town of Ponyville.  As I go through this town, I see many interesting things.  I notice a sweet shop, many ponies in a variety of colors, and a ton of colorful buildings.  This place was suprisingly nice looking.

  Anyway, it was time to get back to the mission at hand (Or should I say, hoof.)  I still hadn't found this library.  Not looking where I was going, I bumped into a pony and we fell.

  " Ow."  We both said quietly.

  I got up and observed the winged pony that stood in front of me.  She had a yellow coat of fur, and pink mane, and shimmering emerald eyes.

  She was actually quite the Mare....

  "  Ugh... Sorry."  I managed to say.

  "  It's okay."  She whispered.

  Weird Silence....

  "  Um... My name's Maxwell."  I said quietly.

  "  My name's Fluttershy."  She said almost silently.

  "  That's a nice name."  I complemented.

  "  You actually heard me?"  She asked suprised.

  "  Yeah. Why?"  I asked.

  "  Most people can't even hear me when I say my name."  She replies.

  "  Oh.  Well, can you direct me to um....  Princess Twilight's Library?"  I asked.

  "  Sure!  Princess Twilight's one of my best friends!"  She said slightly louder this time.

  "  Okay."  I said as I nodded and we went off.

           -At the nearby Library-

  Fluttershy knocked her hoof on the door of the library.  I couldn't help but stare at her.  No, I couldn't possibly be starting to fall for this, this..... Pony!  Even if we do share to same kind off character traits, shy and quiet, I could never fall in love with a pony.  Suddenly, the door to the library opened as I saw a small, purple dragon-like thing open the door.

  "  Oh!  Hey, Fluttershy!  Who's that?"  He asked happily.

  "  Oh, Hi Spike.  This is Maxwell."  She said.

  "  Hello."  I greeted as I flashed a smile.

  "  Oh, nice to meet you, Maxwell!  How can I help you?"  He asked kindly.

  "  Well, I'm kinda new to Ponyville, and I was hoping I could talk to Princess Twilight about a book to tell me about Ponyville."  I replied.

  "  Sure!  Twilight!  You have a guest!"  He said.

  "  Okay!"  She replied.

  "  Come on in!"  He said as me and Fluttershy trotted into the library.

  I trotted over to Princess Twilight and greeted her with a smile as well as 4 other ponies.

  "  Hello, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, but you can just call me Twilight!  And these are my friends, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash!"  She said.

  " Howdy!  Mah name's, Applejack!"  She said.

  "  Sup'!  I'm Rainbow Dash!"  She said.

  " Hello, Darling! I'm Rarity!"  She said.

  " Hiya!  I'm Pinkie Pie!  I'm a Super Duper Party Pony!"  Said Pinkie.

  "  Hello.  I'm Maxwell."  I said quietly.

  "  Well, nice to meet you Maxwell.  I take it you've already met Fluttershy?"  Asked Twilight.

  " Yes, I have."  I replied.

  "  Okay, so is there anything you need?"  Asked Twilight.

  "  I was actually here to ask if you had any books about Ponyville.  I'm kinda new here."  I said.

  "  No problem!"  She said.

  She levitated a book from the shelve with what looked like magic and placed it in my hooves as my eyes went wide.

  "  This book tells you about Ponyville today!  It's basically a guide with all the building, shops, and lots of things! Hope it helps!"  Said Twilight.

  "  Thanks, Twilight.  I appriciate it."  I replied.

  "  So, do you have a place to stay tonight?"  Asked Spike.

  "  No."  I replied.

  "  Well, you're welcome to stay here!  Spike, set up the guest room!"  Said Twilight.

  " Okie Dokie!"  Said Spike.

  "  So anyway, would you like to be friends with us?"  Asked Pinkie Pie with a hyperactive voice.

  All six ponies stood in front of me, awaiting my answer.  I was shy, and I really wasn't used to making friends but if they wanted to be my friends, I wasn't gonna turn down the offer...

  "  Sure."  I said with a smile.

  "  Yay!"  They all said.

  I trotted over to them as they group hugged me... Maybe.... Just maybe....  Making friends wasn't as hard as I thought.

Episode 002: My First Day

               My Life As A Stallion

          Episode 002: My First Day

  I got into the guest bed that Spike set up for me.  It was hard to go to sleep, I was to busy thinking about all these different things in my head like, how did I get here?  What was up with that sinkhole?  How will I get back home?

  That last question sorta bounced around in my head...  How was I going to return home?  What if I DON'T return home?  Will I actually enjoy this world?

  All these thoughts kept me tossing and turning throughout the night, but finally, I closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

                At Exactly 8:17 AM

  I awoke from my sleep with a long yawn.  I was still very tired but I managed to get up anyway.  I slowly moved my stumbling hooves as I trotted down the stairs.  As I arrive downstairs,  I see Twilight Sparkle reading a book, as if she was researching something.

  "  Good Morning, Maxwell!  How was your sleep?"  She asked kindly.

  "  It was okay."  I said as I gave my reply.

  Since we were friends, I decided to try and start a casual conversation.

  "  So, what book are you reading?"  I asked.

  "  Oh, it's a book about spells and magic!  I've been trying to work on learning new spells to make some things easier!"  She replied.

  "  Oh.  So, what are you going to be doing today?"  I ask.

  "  Probably just studying these spells."  She said.

  "  Okay.  Cool."  I said.

  "  So, what will you be up to today?"  She asked.

  "  I'll probably walk around town and look at some of the buildings."  I said.

  "  Okay.  See you later, Maxwell!"  She says as I exit the library.

  I exit the library as I turn around and look at the town just ahead of me...

  "  Well... Better get started."  I think to myself.

                 10 Minutes Later

  I look around as I observe the buildings around me which are actually all quite interesting in their own ways.  I then noticed at shop that looked quite interesting.  I trotted towards it and entered the building as I was greeted by that pink, hyperactive Pony I met yesterday.

  "  Hiya, Maxwell!  It's me, Pinkie Pie!  Welcome to Sugarcube Corner!  We make all different kinds of sweets here!  Can I getcha' anything?!"  She asked as speedy as can be.

  I actually was pretty darn hungry.

  "  I guess I'll try the strawberry cupcake."  I said.

  "  Okie Dokie Loki!"  She says as she hands me the cupcake.

  "  That'll be 3 Bits!"  She said.

  "  Ugh.... What are....  Bits?"  I asked confused.

  "  Wha?  You don't have any?  Well, it's money!"  She said.

  "  Do you have a job?"  She asked.

  "  I did."  I respond.

  "  Well... I can get you a job!  Mrs. Cake, I'm taking a brake!"  She said.

  "  Okay, Pinkie!"  She replied.

  "  Well, C'mon Max!"  Said Pinkie.

  "  Ugh....  Max?"  I ask confused.

  "  It's my nickname for you!  Maxwell, Max!  Get it?!"  She said happily.

  Max?  I like that nickname...

  "  Sure."  I replied with a chuckle.

  We exited the shop as she told me to follow her as she talked non-stop, most people would find this annoying but, if you actually listen closely, she says a lot of interesting things...

           So far, So good I guess...

003: Sweet Apple Acres

            003: Sweet Apple Acres

    Maxwell's POV

  "  APPLEJACK!  APPLEJACK!!!!"  Yelled Pinkie Pie as she ran toward Sweet Apple Acres.

  "  (Sigh.)  Pinkie Pie,  I'm a tad bit busy right now."  Said Applejack.

  "  Oh I know I know. But our new friend, Maxwell,  really really REALLY wants a job here!"  Yelled Pinkie.

  "  Well,  (cough.)  Want is such a strong word,  but,  I would like to help out here,  I mean,  if it's okay with you."  I said.

  "  If 'ya want the job,  you've got the job!  It'll be swell havin' some extra help 'round these parts!"  Said AJ happily.

  "  I can give ya'll 50 Bits an hour,  8 hours a day,  6 days a week!"  Said Applejack.

  "  Sounds good."  I replied.

  "  Okay guys!  I'd better get back to work!  See 'ya!"  Said Pinkie as she trotted away.

   8 Hours Later...

      Well, today turned out well...

  I didn't do very well at work, but AJ still gave me the 50 Bits.  She told me to work on my strength.  I went back down to that sweet shop and got one of those cupcakes because I was literally starving.  And now,  I'm on my way back to the library.  I knocked my hoof on the door and Spike let me in...

  "  Hey Maxwell, how was your day?"  Asked Spike.

  "  Pretty good, all in all."  I replied.

   "  That's great!  Twilight already has the guest bedroom set up.  If your ready to sleep, you can if your ready."  He said.

  " Ok."

  I trotted up to the room and got under the covers.

  Well... I have a job,  friends,  and a place to stay...  I'm honestly enjoying this!!

  Wait...  Did I ACTUALLY just say that?
