Earth prologue: Is it real?

"Why can't Pinkie Just understand what i'm saying... is it really that hard to understand?"

"What is it you're complaining about?" asked Granny Smith.

"It's the fact that Pinkie doesn't understand that us Earth ponies are basically useless."

"So you don't appreciate being here?"

"I wish there was a place where no magic existed and us Earth Ponies could live alone."

"SO... you ever heard of the planet called Earth?" asked Granny Smith eager to tell a tale.

"Earth... No i haven't." replied AppleJack.

"Earth is a mystical land that is similar to Equestria. There are some notable differences, Earth has no Magic and is home to different types of animals. Some called Horses that are related to us. They're bigger but way less smart than us."

"And how would one get to Earth?" asked AppleJack thinking of this wonderful place that they would be equal in. No magic to outsmart them and no flight capable ponies.

"They say that there's a portal out somewhere in Equestria that leads there. But it's heavily guarded by who knows. But of course, this is all legends."

"But what if it happens to be true? Do you know where it is?"

"I don't know where it is and if it is true than i'm sure somepony is going to go out there and find it."

And we're going to be the ones who find it. All us Earth ponies.

Twilight was walking home. after finishing off her last errand for it was Thursday and Thursday is Errand day, and no matter what, you don't skip errand day. Never

"Ok so that's the last errand done so i guess it's alright to go back now" said Twilight going over the list for the 22nd time. Twilight entered the library to find AppleJack rummaging through the books.

"Hello AppleJack, It's quite a scene to see you actually looking through books." Said Twilight curious with the fact that AppleJack, for once was actually looking through books. "Say, What are you looking through anyway?"

"Oh Nothing." That was more nothing than what was actually nothing. I can't let Twilight know what i am doing.

"It doesn't look like you're doing nothing."

"Well, when the Library is open, do you come in and snoop around in everypony's business?" replied AppleJack still rummaging through some books.

"Ugh.... No... No i don't."

"Uh huh, But isn't that what you're doing now?" AppleJack replied, staring at Twilight with a snoopy face.

"Ok, well i guess i'll just pretend that never happened..."

Maybe Twilight's so much a bookworm, she's trying to turn others into book worms. Now surely there's a book here about Earth

Looking through more books, she finally settled on a book called "Earth: The non-magical world"

There are many rumors and legends regarding whether Earth is real or not. Whether it is real or not, there's no real evidence of whether any pony has gone there before.

It is said that two Earth ponies discovered the world when wandering around the wilderness outside the land of Equestria. One stated that there was a puzzle that was required to be solved but didn't know what the puzzle was about and that the other  randomly triggered it. The other entered the portal and didn't return. After 5 days of waiting the pony got a message describing the world that's on the other side. With that, it was stated that the other pony didn't know how to return and suggested that the other should tell somepony about this "world"

It isn't known exactly where the portal is located, but it is known that it is located outside of Equestrian land and the journey is quite dangerous. The path the 2 ponies took went through various ravines and mountains that it was a feat that they even made it.

The world was described as similar to Equestria, but inhabited by different animals and some that looked like ponies, but where larger and of lower intelligence. The pony had no mean of communicating and was left to survive there. The world seemed to have no  magic to hold itself. The world was named "Earth" after Earth ponies

No one else has managed to find the portal so ponies may question the existence of this world.

AppleJack stopped reading after that. That was only the first section of the book that summarised the discovery of Earth and was enough to give her the information she needed.

"Twilight, you mind if i take this book out? You know, for such reasons?"

"I guess, Does it have a special label? If it does, i can't allow you to take it out." replied Twilight from the kitchen.

AppleJack looked to see if it had any significant labels. In fact, it didn't seem to have any labels. The Book looked like it was left there and Twilight forgot it exists. Does Twilight even known this book is here?

"No, it doesn't, It's not one of your special books."

"For your information, Not all the labeled books are in that way special. They just can't be borrowed out because of their usage like history books etc."

"Ok, ok, it's not like i'm saying you love them so much." She definitely loves them, Loves them alot

Twilight let out a groan being slightly angry with AppleJack and her use of words.

"Well maybe i do love them, just not in that particular way."
