Pride's Fourth Life

"We're here!" she smiled cheerfully, waving around at the town we had teleported to.

"Well, it only took us two seconds. My accomplice back on Earth can teleport too," I looked around the town. It was filled with houses and shops assorted randomly, and there were the three races of ponies walking around, going about their business much like on Earth. A few of them gave me strange looks, but when they saw Twilight next to me they shrugged it off and kept on walking.

"I'd figure I would get more attention!" I yelled at the equines. A few stares were thrown at my way, but what I could tell from their strange, alien faces was that they were neutral.

"Look Vegeta, I know you must feel angry about this whole situation, but I promise we're a great race! I studied and ran some tests on the areas in which you crashed into and the atmospheric conditions, and I came to the conclusion that you came here from a dimension rip, much like you described to us. This must be very hard for you, I can't imagine being trapped in a world with no escape, so I'll give you a choice of where you want to currently call your home. I have some very good friends who would all be willing to house you in their home, so I wanted you to meet them first and decide if you want to live with any of them temporarily while we discuss your housing at the royal court. Sound good?" I looked at Twilight, and I sighed.

"Sure, I always lived in my friends' houses back on Earth anyway, never did get to get a home for myself. You can probably believe me when I say that I am trying VERY hard to keep myself calm here, but I'd like to ask for a few days of solitude in wherever I decided to reside in so I can get myself together. Understand?" She nodded at me and smiled.

"Of course! Here, I'll show you around, but there's a certain mare that I know you're going to meet first as she knows everyone in the town and well, she makes it her business to know everyone here and she's kind of-"

Suddenly, a pink pony's head came out of the mail box besides me and giggled.

"NEW PONY! Oh wait, NEW  CREATURE IN TOWN!" She giggled and jumped out of the mailbox, landing three feet away from me. "This calls for a party! I've never seen a creature like you before, and my pinkie sense tells me you're going to live here so I can throw a DOUBLE PARTY! I'm going to have to mail Cheese Sandwich, and-" She giggled histerically, while I stared in awe at how she could fit in a mail box and the energetic energy I could sense within her. She might not know this, but she was one damn powerful pony. Perhaps she could be of use as a sparring partner, if I taught her to control her power...

Twilight shuffled her... hooves. Going to have to get used to that. I glanced at Twilight and mouthed the words 'This one?' She nodded. "Yes Pinkie, we all know you're excited bu-"

"Of course I'm excited! I don't get to throw double parties very often! Well this one time I got to throw a quadruple double party because it was the Cake family's birthdays, and gummy's first-time-ate-vegetable-anniversary, and it was also the first snow in winter, and-" Or not, I thought. She was way too childish to take fighting seriously, but who knows? Maybe she has multiple personalities.

"Pinkie," Twilight stated calmly, immediately shutting the pink one, who was supposedly called pinkie, up.

"Yeeeeees?" The pink mare stared at her expectantly.

"This is Veget-"

"Allow me to introduce myself," I pointed at the pink mare. "- I am Prince Vegeta, Super Saiyan, and Prince of all Saiyans. I am the almighty ruler of our race, who saved it from Lord Freeza's tyranny, who cared for it by protecting those on Earth, and failed it by coming here. Before descending to this world, I was fighting Earth's worst villain yet, a counterpart to your Discord. Buu. Only our Discord was much worse than yours, he was relentless. His evil was so great he probably ended up destroying the whole universe that I came from, accidentally throwing me here. And if a "double party" is what you think will put me in a good mood, then no, you are mistaken," and with that I took off, flying to the sky as fast as I could, ignoring their shouts. I needed to uphold my reputation. I aimed for one of the clouds, hopefully nobody would be able to bother me there while I was there, the pink one didn't have wings and Twilight seemed to be one of the few ponies around here without a lack of reasoning and intelligence. She would know that bothering me would not be smart int his situation, but I hope she'll give me a couple of hours to gather my thoughts once more. I neared the cloud. Yes, I was so close! I flew faster towards it, yearning for the solitude it would provide me. I adjusted my ki flow-line to focus on getting me up, getting me higher.

And then I somehowcrashed onto it, somehow hitting my head on it as if it was a rock-hard, yet soft surface, not a soft water vapor, and knocked myself out for the second time that day.

"No.. no don't put my battle armor in the drier, seriously! It needs to air dry or else it'll loose its elasticity... no.. what are you.. no! I said not to..." I woke up from my horrible, gruesome nightmare. Twilight was looking down on me with a shocked expression on her face.

"I'm not sure if I'm surprised the most that you're still alive, you hit your head on the cloud and you're not a pegasus, or that you can fly. That was quite a fall, you feeling alright?" She looked up at the cloud I crashed onto. I looked at it myself and saw that it looked like a house. I wonder if its just the cloud formation, or if that really is a house. I did crash into it, after all.

I floated a few feet into the air "I'll let you know that I can do much more than that, but such purposes are only meant for fighting powerful enemies like Buu, and Kakarot. If I tried one of my attacks here, I'd scare the town off, or kill them all," I replied. She nodded understandingly, but I could sense a small hint of fear in her. As it should be!

"Well, if you ever want to show me your capabilities, I'm sure we could use them to help you get a job around here!" She smiled.

"Wait, a job? I'll inform you that I am of high class, I do not do 'jobs'. If you have a military, I promise I can help wipe out your foes, and I won't need any help! I'm a hell of a lot stronger than you realize," and as I finished that sentence Pinkie walked over to me, I must have scared her off, but her hair seemed different. It was flat, I swore it was puffy just a few moments ago.

"I'm sorry Vegeta, I just got a little carried away, see I always like to help out new people since that's my special talent and making people smile just gives me a good fuzzy feeling, and-"

"Don't worry about it, Pinkie. I shouldn't have snapped like that, but a party in my favor does sound intriguing..." I motioned  to her to give me and Twilight some space.

Her hair poofed back into place, "Okay! I'll get right on that, and don't worry, I won't make it silly like usual! My pinkie sense tells me you'd like a more formal party, and I'll be happy to adjust," she said, bouncing away at the direction of a house that looked like it was made out of pure candy, greeting everyone she saw.

I glanced at Twilight. "Pinkie Sense?"

"Nevermind that, I'm the scientist around here and I've dedicated months trying to explain to myself how she can see the future, but all attempts have been in vain. Meanwhile, want me to show you around? The town can get confusing at first, but I promise it'll all be familiar once you get used to it!"

"Sure, I guess. I need a good place to rest my head. Before we go though, I'd like to ask. Is that cloud that I somehow crashed on a cloud or a house?"

Twilight looked up and smiled. "You happen to be a very lucky person, Vegeta. That indeed is a house, and not just any house. It's the house of one of my best friends Rainbow Dash. Come on, I know that you can fly now and these wings aren't just for show, so would you like to visit her? She's like you: Fast, daring, brave, takes things seriously," Her question was innocent enough.

I smiled. The house was secluded from random pink mares, it looked like it had lots of room, and when I crashed onto the floor of it I felt a great softness within. It was fit for a king, or at least it was comfortable like one. "Yes Twilight, if your 'friend' is kind enough, I think I have made a decision of where I want to live for a couple of days," She nodded, and with that we took off into the air.
