Starting up in Equestria.

Chapter 2: Oh that's where... Okay then.

Five minutes into my walk back through the orchard I encountered two "people" ... I suppose. They looked kinda weird. For starters they had fur covering their entire bodies, they had normal looking hair with matching tails. they had normal hands but instead of feet they had hooves. Oh and one of them had wings sprouting from their back, and a horn protruding from their forehead. Their mouths and noses protruded out slightly almost like a dog or horses, though not nearly as much They both looked female, the taller of the two looked to be around 5'5"-5'6" and her friend looked maybe a couple inches shorter.

The taller one had fur that was a purple colour and her hair was straight down to about her mid back. It was a dark blue with a pink and a purple streak running through it. She had a medium build, slim, with a light muscle tone showing in her arms and calves. She was wearing a white button up shirt with a black knee-length skirt and a pair of black shoes. She had a large pair of bright purple eyes, her mouth seemed to be slightly turned up in a natural smile.

'She's kinda cute for some alien" I thought.

Her friend... was there a second ago. Where could she have gone?

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned towards the feeling. I was greeted by the brightest, cheeriest, most frighteningly large pair of eyes I have ever seen. The missing pony had apparently teleported or something right beside me and was now staring at me with the widest, friendliest smile I am convinced has ever come into being on the face of anything. She seemed to be expecting something from me.

"U-uhh. H-hi?" I stuttered out eventually. Which seemed to be exactly what she was waiting for. She leaned back away from me and stuck her hand out for a hand shake. I took her hand and proceeded to regret that decision as she started to vigorously shake my hand to the point that I was certain it would come off and then suddenly released me and started bouncing around me talking a mile a minute

"Hi.MynameisPinkiePie.Areyounew?YoumustbenewbecauseIknoweveryoneinponyvilleandIdon'tknowyousoyoumustbenewhere.Whyareyousotall?Whereisyourfur?Whyisyourmanesoshort?Whereareyoufrom?Willyoubemyfriend?"

'I-I-I'm sorry? Could you repeat that a little slower. Maybe take half a breath between your sentences?' Was what I was tempted to say. At least it seemed to be speaking English or a similar language.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't understand what you just said. Could you repeat that please?" was what I actually said.

She took a deep breath and looked ready to begin again when a purple aura picked her up and carried her over to the purple one. With her not practically on top of me I was able to get a proper look at her. She had bright pink fur covering her body and a darker pink extremely curly hair and tail. Her eyes were insanely large, a bright blue colour, and her face seemed locked in an overly cheery, mildly disturbing smile. She didn't have any type of wings or horn yet she seemed even stranger than her friend. Like somehow physics just gave up around her. She was wearing a fairly simple outfit, consisting of a Pink t-shirt with three balloons on the front and a loose pink skirt that looked like it would bounce around behind her the second she moved

"Pinkie. You've been told before. Introducing yourself like that just confuses ponies. Now while you calm down I'll show you again how you should do it." With that last word she turned from her friend stepped towards me and began. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and my friend here is Pinkie Pie. It's a pleasure to meet you mister..."

She stopped at that and seemed to be waiting for something from me. I realized she was looking for my name and I started to reply

"My name is Christopher-" I began but was interrupted by a blur of Pink sweeping me up in a hug and crushing me.

"Hi Christopher. My name is Pinkie Pie. I've never had a friend like you before. Will you be my friend?" Her voice came again, slower this time and understandable, barely, and their meaning was clear. however before I could respond a bright flash of purple light encircled me and I found myself standing next to the purple one, Twilight Sparkle, with her horn glowing in the same aura that used to be holding the pink one.

"Pinkie again we've been through this. Not everyone is that comfortable with physical contact like that. And no new people are ever ready to deal with your full level of crazy." Twilight spoke to her friend again, "Now, Christopher is it?" I nodded "As I said it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Ponyville"
