My New Life In Equestria

All in all, the tour wasn't that bad. After the freak episode Twilight was able to calm down the residents and explain to them that I wasn't a monster or a threat and they sighed in relief knowing that I wasn't dangerous; they apologized and went about their business. We then spent the next few minutes walking around the place, Twilight was showing me places to eat, buy clothes, stuff like that. It was then we came upon a building that looked like it had been ripped from out of the story of Hansel & Gretel. I stop and look at it with a confused look on my face, Twilight must have noticed since she was now heading towards the direction of the building.

"What is this place," I asked as we walk in through the front doors.

"Welcome to Sugarcube corner," Twilight said with a smile on her face. "It's one of, if not the best bakery in ponyville. It's the place where Pinkie works."

Almost as if on cue the pink mare shows up in front of us. Startling both me and Twilight to a near heart attack.

"Hey guys," Pinkie said, "How's it going?"

"I could do without the heart attack," I said as I tried to calm my beating heart. "Is she always like this?"

"Yes, and Pinkie we are here for some food," Twilight said.

"Ok, I'll have them right out in a jiffy," Pinkie said as she zoomed into the kitchen and back out with a tray full of assorted cupcakes.

"Wait... how... huh?" I stammered, "You know what, I'm too hungry to know how you did that."

First thing you should know about me is that I don't have that much of a sweet tooth, so I don't eat such sweets like cake and cupcakes very often. So, I shrugged my shoulder and I grabbed one of the cupcakes and took a bite out of it and the moment it hit my tongue my taste buds felt like heaven. I let out a heavy sigh before devouring the one in my hand and several more that were on the tray.

"Whoa, slow down," Twilight said, "You'll get sick if you keep eating this fast."

"I'm sorry. It's just that I've never had anything that tastes this good before," I said with a mouthful of cupcakes. This is the best cupcakes EVER! I should start eating these more often.

"I'm so glad to hear you say that," Pinkie said. "Can I get you anything else?"

"Yeah, some more of the delicious cupcakes please," I said.

"Coming right up," Pinkie said.

A few seconds later she came out with a box filled with a dozen cupcakes. We said our thanks and were out the door.

"So, what's next on the agenda Twilight," I asked as I stuffed my face with yet another cupcake.

"We should probably go to carousel boutique to get you fitted for some clothes," Twilight said, "I don't think you want to go on wearing the same thing."

"I guess so," I agreed, knowing that my clothes were starting to smell a little ripe after being worn two days in a row.

So, we made our way to carousel boutique, wherever that is.

My jaw dropped the moment we arrived at the place Twilight was talking about. It was like someone made this place as fancy as they could. When we got inside I saw Rarity working on what looked like a dress fit for a queen. She turned around and looked at Twilight and me as we stood there for a good amount of time.

“Twilight and Robert,” she said as she made her towards us. “What can I do for you?”

“I sort of, kind of, need new clothes and I was wondering if you could make some,” I explained.

“I wouldn’t mind making you some new for you,” Rarity said, “Just follow me and I’ll get your measurements.”

I followed Rarity into a room where she instructed me to stand still while she took my measurements. After a few minutes of standing still and having a measuring tape wrapped around me tighter than a boa constrictor, we were finally done and on our way out the door.

“Thanks Rarity,” I said, “When can I pay you back?”

“Oh, don’t you worry about a thing darling,” Rarity said as she waved goodbye. “I should have your clothes ready for you in a few days.”

“Alright then,” Twilight said, “We should get going, there’s still a lot of ground we haven’t covered.”

“See you later,” I said, waving goodbye.

After the visit at Rarity’s, Twilight and I made our way to a farm called Sweet Apple Acres. And there was only one thing on my mind. Sadly, I accidentally voiced what I was thinking.

“Goddamn, that’s a lot of apple trees,” I said as I look at the fields in awe of how many trees there were. “It must be tough managing this many apple trees.”

“Well, Ah’ll tell ya this; it ain’t easy,” Applejack said as she walked up to us. “Howdy Twilight, Robert. What are y’all doing here?”

“Twilight thought it was a good idea to take me on a tour around ponyville. So, that I won’t be wandering around like a lost puppy,” I explained while Twilight nodded in agreement.

“Well that sounds like a swell idea,” Applejack said, “Well if you excuse me. I need to get back to work.”

“Wait a minute, I don’t mean to upset you or anything but how do you pick the apples of the trees, what with no hands and everything.” I ask as I watch Applejack go to one of the trees and place baskets around the tree.

“That’s easy we buck the trees so hard that they fall out,” she as she kicked the tree and all of them fell into the bucket. “Would you like to try, sugarcube?”

“I guess I'll give it a shot,” I said as I walked up to a random tree, "It can't be that hard."

I looked at the tree and took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing."

I kicked the tree with all I had, but what happened next was something I never saw coming. The moment my foot made contact with a golden aura surrounded me and the tree fell taking several others with it. I looked back at Applejack only to see a look of confusion and shock just before the look then turns to pure unadulterated anger as she now stare daggers at me.

"Well would you look at that, we should really get going it was great seeing you," I said quickly as I grabbed Twilight and zoomed out of there.

"Get back here," Applejack shouted as she chased after us. "You're gonna help replant every tree that you knocked down."

She chased me down and eventually caught me and made me spend the rest of the day replanting the trees. It was late in the afternoon when I finally finished and said goodbye to Applejack. It was nighttime when we got back to Twilight's house and the moment we walked in Spike came running down the stairs with a scroll in his hand.

"Twilight, this came for you earlier today," he said as he handed the letter to Twilight.

Twilight grabs a hold of the with her magic and brings it up to her face as she silently reads it.

"So, what does it say," I ask.

"It says that Princess Celestia wants to have a meeting with you and she asked if you could come some time tomorrow," she explained.

"That's great," I said, "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep. Wake me up sometime next month."

"Alright, good night," Twilight said as she and Spike headed up stairs to go to bed.

"Well, today was an interesting day," I said as I walked over to the couch and lay down. "I wonder what tomorrow might hold, can't possibly be worst than today can it?"

Well I just jinxed myself, I thought as I drifted off into sleep.
