Visiting Equestria.

Chapter 3: "In the town of ponies."

We came to their town - Ponyville. He was like many small towns, which were built in the Middle Ages in the 13-15 century. Some houses were made of wood, others of stone. All ponies looked at us with suspicion, some came close to us, that would be considered. They talked among themselves, discussing us, our clothes and stuff that we were holding or who have hung on. Oliver was determined. With one hand he held a gun, the other - the handle of the sword. But James still could not calm down. Panting, he looked around.

Finally, we come since... Home-tree.

"Come on, people." - Twilight said and opened the door.

Yeah, the doorway was below us and we had to bend a little to get through, not to mention the ponies that we were on the belt.

When we entered, we saw a large library with a pile of books. Apparently, Thomas likes this. Others, including me, just inspected.

"Now we can talk to you people." - Said Twilight.

"We can not wait to ask you some questions, boys." - Said Rarity.

"Good." - I said.

"Ask your questions." - Thomas said.

We have wanted to ask about something, but James dropped his his musket, and everybody saw it. Is good that is not a musket Shots due to a fall.

"Oh, sorry." - James said, raising his musket.

"So this is for you ... things?" - Asked Twilight.

"It looks like ... a spear. - Said Rainbow Dash, considering the musket and touching his butt. - Strange they form."

"Oh, be careful. They can also poke the eye. They are sharp and long" - said Fluttershy.

"I do not understand. Why your iron spears are located strange device? Why do they need?" - Asked Applejack.

"Fleet, let me explain - Oliver said, unslung his musket and went to the pony. -

It's not quite a spear. This weapon is a hundred times better and more dangerous spear. Here, it's a musket. "

"Never heard of it. Tell." - Said Twilight.

"Well, they can fight in melee, and more of it, you can shoot like a bow or crossbow. But that does not bow and crossbow, and he did not shoot arrows and bullets like this." - Oliver explained and pulled out his round, lead bullet. Twilight took a bullet magic and levitated her in front of him, considering.

"And the ball can kill someone?" - She said.

Twilight Oliver returned the bullet now and asked me:

"Mr. Fleet, What have you got in your other hand?"

"Oh, that. Just flag. And call me just Flit." - I replied.

"Well, Flit. Can you show it?"

I agreed and turned the flag.

"And what did he mean?"

"He is the flag of the British Empire and was being taken to fight like a banner."

"And what do the colors?"

"I can explain. - Thomas answered and took my flag. - As I see it, the white color represents the generosity and frankness, White means peace and honesty, Red - firmness, courage, strength and valor, Blue - truth and loyalty, perseverance and justice. Well, so it is written in the books "

"Wow! - Twilight was surprised and also has viewed the flag. - Hmm, I think that the more red... or blue."

"Boys are more colors on the flag. Too, I can not identify." - Said Rarity.

"Oh, if the red is more, you are strong, and if less than white, then you are not too noble and honest. This is terrible!" - Crouching said Fluttershy.

"All is well. Actually, according to the book, the colors on the flag of an equal amount. So we are around the same." - Thomas said.

But they could not even ask about us, as the evening came, and all the ponies began to disperse to their homes. Twilight allowed to stay with her. However, it rastroilas and regretted that there is no place to sleep. But we have to sleep on the bare floor is not the first time. On the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, we almost slept on the ground.

Thus ended the first day of our first in the new world.
