A lavender alicorn sat in a small pile of books, paging through each one carfully. Earlier that day, Rarity had asked for a book that had some early Equestrian fashions in it, but she couldn't remember the title. Twi had been tasked with finding it.
"Nope... Nope.... Urgh! Why can't she remember!" Twilight screamed in agony. She couldn't ask Spike, he was hunting for gems with Rarity herself, the little traitor. Why didn't Rarity tell her the title, for Celestia's sake!?
She went to the only other library in town, an old abandoned place, just a big pile of books in a building with no librarian, nopony watching it. But she couldn't find it there either, due to most of the books being ripped up or worn away by time.
She trotted over to her bed and flopped down, making a puff of dust fly up. She made a mental note to change her bed sheets this weekend. I wish somepony would help, but they're all busy, she thought sadly. She slowly trotted over to a book shelf.
Suddenly, a light green flash lit up the room, Twilight jumping to her hooves, as the flash reminded her of Chrysalis' attack on Canterlot. Hopefully she wasn't being attacked by Changlings.
A colt lat on the ground. He looked about Rainbow Dash's age, and he was covering his hooves over his head like there was a storm.
He was a pegasus pony, but his wings were green and translucent, like a Changeling's, as was the over all style of his wings. He was black, with white markings on his face, body, and hooves. His mane was a creamy white, and his eyes were a slime green. He wore a crown with a small pink gem in the center. His cutie mark was a willow tree with a green aura around it.
He slowly got up, and as he looked at himself, he panicked. Twilight didn't see why. He looked normal-ish to her. But he acted like he turned into a completely different pony. In fact, he may have.
As his eyes lay upon his cutie mark, he fainted. That was awkward, Twilight thought.
"Are you OK?" Twilight said, running over to the unconscious colt. She'd never seen anypony react that way to a cutie mark, even a pony with a new cutie mark. She was about to do CPR on him for no reason, when he blinked his eyes as he came to.
"Uh..." the colt said, rubbing his head. Twilight backed away to give him some space. She knew how he felt, she was in a new world when she went to the alternate universe of Canterlot High.
"Are... are you okay?" Twilight asked again., careful not to provoke the odd pony.
"Yeah, I've never known I had a mark on my butt before!" the odd colt smiled, trotting over to Twilight.
He trotted oddly, with his head back and his hooves far forward. Twilight had never seen anypony trot like that. Maybe that's how everypony trots like that where he lives, Twilight thought.
"Hi! I'm Willow, but you can call me Will! I'm from Filly Funtasia! I know a lot about magic, spells, and fun!" the enthusiastic colt replied.
"But, how can you? You're a pegasus pony, and only unicorns can do magic!" Twilight exclaimed, confused.
"Whaddya mean, pony? All ponies can do magic!" Will said, laughing as though Twi had just told a funny joke.
"First of all, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle. Second of all, which crazy train did you get off of?" How dumb is this pony? Twilight wondered, raising an eyebrow. But she didn't want to come off as rude, either, as she, too, was once a newbie in a new place.
"I'm not on a train, silly!" Will smiled, laughing.
Twilight facehoofed. He was taking things litterally, too. This would be interesting, to say the least.
"Well, why can't I use magic then?" Willow said angrily, stamping his hoof stubbornly.
"A unicorn's horn conducts a special force that allows her to preform magic. No other types of ponies can do this." Twilight explained, trying to keep calm.
"Woah...." Will said, eyes widening.
"How did you even get here?" Twilight asked, trying to make sense of this odd colt.
"Oh, I was trying to get the cupcakes back, so the teachers combined their magic and brought me here." Will explained.
"You did all that for cupcakes?" Twilight asked, confused. That sounded crazy.
"Cupcakes power every pony's magic powers!" Willow said, as though Twilight was the dunce.
"That's... interesting." Twilight said. Everything he said sounded like a story Pinkie Pie made up while making a sweet treat. Maybe he was one of her long lost relatives. After everything that happened in Equestria since she came to Ponyville, anything was possible.
"I guess I'd better show you around Ponyville. You probably want me to, anyway." Twilight Sparkle said as she cleaned up around the spot where the strange colt had fallen. He certainly was a heavy faller.
"Okee Doke!" Willow smiled, trotting out the door. Well, he smashed though it.
Twilight wondered where this odd colt came from. He seemed to act like Pinkie Pie, but ten times more so, if that was even possible. Well, she thought, he doesn't seem like a bad pony, and he's probably at least a bit nervous in this "new world". She looked on, as she realized he would be in Equestria for a long time. But maybe instead of asking questions, he should read a book. That would stop him from asking so many questions.
