What The Hell's A Ponyville?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

  I woke up, fell off the small cot I was placed on, and hit my head. Yep.

   "God damn it! Aghh! Well this is certainly a splendid start to the morning..." I said to myself grumpily.

Once I could see clearly I looked at my hooves, I could feel them and was again reminded this is no dream. It was odd having no fingers; I kept wanting to flex them only to have nothing happen as I stared at my hoof… which was a dull grey unlike my coat, oddly enough.

I rubbed my temple with a hoof "Oh no, this can't be happening, what the hell is going on?" I said as I fought down the rising frustration and panic at my situation.

I rolled about uncomfortably trying to gather my bearings and asking myself what kind of hell I was sent to when a mare stepped into the room, slamming open the door as she came in. Wearing a Stetson, she also donned a blond mane and orange coat with a tattoo of three apples on her butt (or is it flank?).

  "Ey, your awake! Well mornin' sugarcube!" she said so happily it was almost creepy. Unfortunately she... surprised me.

   "EEEE!" I yelled like a little girl jumping back up onto the cot. "Where am I! Who are you! What's going on!" I said in complete panic mode now. She raised an eyebrow,

  "Ya bump yer head sugarcube? Yer at- oh calm down, you're at Sweet Apple Acres, right outside of Ponyville," She said calmingly.

  "What in the hell is a Ponyville?" I started to calm down as I said that, turning my panic into interest in learning more about my location. She looked at me oddly for a second before a look of realization dawned on her.

   "Ya must not be from around here, one o' them foreigner folk. Ponyville is a town in Equestra. How do ya speak such good Equestrian, and where are ya from anyway?" she asked curiously. Ponyville?  I thought do towns here have horse related puns for names? I must have looked confused for a second because she just started giving me an impatient look.

   "Ummm, I studied...it... at, um, stall-i-ongrad univ-ersity" making up a horrible lie on the spot and praying to whatever god was out there that the mare in front of me either didn't know it didn't exist or the place actually existed. Did I mention I am bad when I am put on the spotlight? She saw right through the obvious lie and started getting a little more demanding.

   "Ya want to hide somethin' sugarcube then that's fine with me, but if yer going to get up and dragged out of the everfree by mah friend I need to at least know yer name. Mine's Applejack, AJ for short." She said awaiting a response.

   "Mine’s George," I said awkwardly. She gave me a weird look again that was just dying to comment on how bad I was at covering up things.

   "Jus' George?" She said suspiciously. Oh no, think of something umm, what matches my personality.

   "George Fleur Party! GFP for short!" I said proudly, and then I wanted to facepalm at the dumb name... but sadly I had a hoof, and actually facepalming with a hoof (facehoofing I guess) kind of hurts. She chuckled at my awkwardness, her suspicion melting away, and looked at me.

   "Ok GFP I don't know about you, but now I definitely know yer a foreigner, so I guess I'll up an' give ya a break. Explains why ya were off in the Everfree forest. That place is mighty dangerous, best steer clear next time." She said knowingly. "If mah friend Twi didn't hear ya scream like a lil' filly ya would've gotten yourself killed by that manticore. Good thing she was walking back from Zecora's when she was... Off gettin' some of that smelly lavender shampoo stuff."

She said as I turned red in embarrassment.

   "So that's what attacked me?" I thought to myself.

    "She saved ya, brought ya here, and we patched ya up. Ya have a lot to learn about this here town and its people, and since yer all patched up now I won't feel sorry fer kickin' ya out on yer flank. You should go visit Twi- her full name's Twilight Sparkle by the way." She said a-matter-of-factly. "She owns this here town's own lil' library, well ah guess its more of a castle now though. You seem like one o' the smart type, I'm sure you'll like 'er. Just keep following the farms path into Ponyville and look for the giant crystal tree. You'll know it when you see it." She said helpfully.

   "Alrighty, thank you Appl-" before I even knew it she had lead me to the door and sent me on my way.

   I made my way down the dirt road until it started turning into cobble. Soon enough I was walking around in town, occasionally drawing attention from strangers because of my awkward fumbling excuse of trotting. A pegasus mare with bright blonde hair and a grey coat finally trotted up to me casually.

  "Umm excuse me, sir, are you ok? You seem a bit off balance today," She asked worriedly.

  "Oh ummm, yes... I uh... I am just feeling dizzy. A lot of people are staring though...," I lied to her, until I noticed her crossed eyes.

  "Don't feel bad, I can be a bit clumsy too. My eyesight does that to me, my name is Ditzy Doo. But everyone calls me Derpy," She said smiling warmly.

  "I am GFP, nice to meet you Ditzy... Thank you, you're very kind but I must be going," I said, smiling and slightly happier.

  "Alright! See ya GFP," She said, happy to have made a new friend.

30 Minutes of pointless wandering around Ponyville and getting mixed up in distractions later...

There's the library, in its full crystalline glory, rising into the sky. I stared at it's beautifully carved crystal features, anything this beautiful in the real world would cost billions. Applejack sure wasn't lying when she said I would know it when I see it. In fact it almost hurt my eyes. I stepped up on the doorstep and knocked.

   I heard the gentle clop of foot-no,  hoofsteps coming to the door (man I will never get used to this) the door opened to reveal a lavender Unico- no, Pegas- no..., Wait what, an Alicorn? Heh- didn't see that coming.

   "Sorry sir, but the library doesn't open until 9," said the lavender mare as her eyes adjusted to the glare of the morning sun once she stepped outside. Finally her vision cleared and she saw the stallion before her. She let her magic die out and the aura around the door went away. "Oh! Wow, you’re that Pegasus from the Everfree I saved. That manticore sure got you good, you screamed like a filly," she chuckled.

   "Heheh... yeah... it sure did..." I said, the conversation growing awkward for a moment as I rubbed the back of my head blushing slightly...(what is it with this body and blushing, I almost never blush) recalling the pain. Trying to save the conversation from the evil clutches of awkwardness I spoke up after a moment's silence. "Thank you for that... I would have died if it weren't for you. No matter how strange all this is right now." I said as sincere as humanl- Ermm... Equinely possible. She looked at me smiling but with curiosity.

   "Thank you, but it is no big deal, it’s my job as a princess, but I couldn't help but notice you said something was strange? May I ask what?" She asked, her curiosity growing with every word and detail. A princess… hmmm, maybe she can help me out.

   "We can talk about it inside," I said hesitantly. "But I did hear something about being a princess? Wow, that pony Applejack said for me to meet the town librarian... I didn't know I would be meeting a royal librarian. I love literature, your highness of books," I said, bowing jokingly towards her. I was not flirting...yes- not flirting at all…

   "Oh, why thank you Sir Purple Mane." She remarked back smirking at the comeback. "Maybe you and I can study sometime, prove if you do actually like books? Or what made you become cocky enough to wander into the Everfree forest alone?" She smirked. Ouch, that stings, she can certainly joke around when she wants too.

   "I think I might hit you up on that sometime to prove you wrong, But for now can we go inside... we need to talk about that which is strange." I stressed its importance with a look of seriousness on my face. Hopefully this will go as planned.

   "Sure, if it is important I guess I could open a bit early, come in," As I walked in with Twilight I spotted a green and purple chubby little dragon cleaning a bookshelf.

   "Whoa, a dragon!? Sweet!" I said with awe. The dragon looked over at him curiously and then smirked proudly.

   "Yeah, Twilight raised me from an egg, and now I live with a princess. I am pretty sweet," He stated, proudly milking the situation at large for all his ego is worth. "I'm Spike, who’re you? Did Twilight finally get a special somepony?" He joked. Twilight blushed profusely and then rolled her eyes while I stood there slightly confused.

   "N-No! Spike your chores are done for now go... Do something; hang out with Applebloom and the others now shoo. I need to talk with... What's your name?" Twilight asked.

   "Oh um...George Fleur Party or just GFP," I said awkwardly to her.

   "That's an odd name," She said chuckling uncontrollably.

   "Ok I’ll leave you two alone," Spike said laughing as he walked out the door.

   "Alright, now that that’s over, what did you have to ask me about," she asked curiously.

   "Oh, right, of course" I clear my throat and speak. "You look like the smartest mare I can find here so you will be able to make sense out of this, please don't think I'm crazy because I don't know if anyone else can help me." I said to her.

I then let the story spill out to her. "My real name is indeed George, but I was a human, you don't know what they are but I do, we live in a world called earth with no pegasi, unicorns, or even magic. But that is where it gets weird; I ran into a robber and got shot by his weapon known as a gun. As I was swept into unconsciousness I fell through some blue hole... instead of hitting a brick wall. That was about two days ago. I think I’m in a new dimension because in this world magic apparently exists. So I need to ask, do you think something like that's possible?" I said gasping for breath. Twilight blinked, with sudden realization she gasped with joy.

   "Sweet Celestia it worked! This is possibly the greatest discovery in.... well, a long time for Equestria!" She squee'd excitedly.

   "Wait, that's it? Y-you don't think I'm crazy or anything...No questioning? No nothing?" I said confused. I suddenly found myself questioning HER sanity.

   "What’s going on right now?" I asked myself in my head. Maybe asking her was a giant mistake…

"Oh, of course, let me explain to you further why I believe you," She said. "Let me keep it simple, a couple days ago I was studying into dimensional thaumic conjuration and regurgitation spells from Starswirl the Bearded. When I tried one of the spells I thought it was a dud. To say the least I was disappointed but now here you are, you have no idea half the terms we use, yes I noticed, and you popped out in the middle of the everfree claiming to come from a different dimension. It adds up to say the least and it just being a coincidence and you being a lunatic is unlikely." She examined proudly. "Oh oh oh! I know! We can be study buddies! I will teach you about Equestria and you can tell me about your home and people. Sadly you can't just show me because the portal altered your genetic structure and coding all in all."

  I got lost in her ramblings long ago and I only imagined to get out a

  "So, if I went back through it would alter my genetic coding again and send me back to Earth! That's great! I'm still getting used to this whole pony thing though." I said excited. "But for now, can you find a way I can get home?" I asked her hopefully. She suddenly looked at me, trying to overlook the look of dread on her face.

  "Y-yes of course I will look into it." She said nervously. I raised an eyebrow at her but decided it must be part of her insane antics.

  "Thank you. Is there any where I can stay while you do this?" I asked unsure about this staying with this half-sane mare.

  "Yes, we have a guest bedroom down the left hall. You can go now and unpack your things if you'd like to stay here." She said kindly.

  "Oh, wow thank you! I won't be any trouble I promise." I said leaving her to check out my new room. I stepped inside and immediately dropped my Party Bag down next to the door.

  "Ho-ly...Shit..." I gasped. The room was crystalline with random Crystal patterns carved into the walls, and then their was the big ass bed in the center of the room. Along with a walk in closet (Ponies don't wear clothes so I don't know why), and a big bathroom. I was home...for now at least.
