The Ciochetto Who Lived With Ponies
Alex Ciochetto sat at the table reserved for him specifically, nobody sitting by him as per requested. On the table was a candle, a tablecloth to match the wedding, a plate with steak, his hat James, and his pocket knife Tom. "Well guys, looks with one of you is going to have to replace this steak knife." Alex held up the knife, which he had accidentally bent in his carelessness. He tossed it aside with hardly a clatter, drawing him no attention other than the occasional glance from a woman with dark blue hair. I still don't get how she knows the family. She seems to out of place. Alex didn't care though. He was simply here at his cousin's request. She had him sit in the front row during the ceremony. Alex picked up Tom, cleaned him off with a napkin and began to devour the rest of his steak. It was half-way decent, being cold since his family held him back to boast about him.
"Interesting knife replacement." A strange voice came from across the table. I thought I requested a table to myself. Alex rolled his eyes as he put on James and looked up at the stranger, who seemed to not be noticed by anyone else in the room, with the exception of that blue haired lady, now scowling at this man. He was wearing a brown tux, against the wedding color theme. He himself had a full suit and tux completed with a bowtie, all black besides his white dress shirt. What was strange about the man was he had a yellow eye, while the other was red. Huh. Can't say I don't know him. He looks and sounds very familiar. I just can't put my finger on it...
"Didn't you see the sign? This table is reserved for me only." Alex said, wanting to test this daring man.
"Yes, but I couldn't help but notice your necklace." The man admitted. It was true, Alex was wearing a necklace with his three favorite ponies on it. Luna, Fleur, and Cadence. "I then presumed you're a brony."
"Well now aren't we observant. Give the man a prize." Alex said, rolling his eyes. He then reached across the table and shook the man's hand. Alex glanced to where the strange woman had been, only to see her gone, although right next to where she sat was a woman who had dyed her hair a delicate pink. I'm beginning to think I'm surrounded by crazy people. He heard a chair being pulled over, and sitting next to him was the blue haired woman, complete with a dark blue dress. "Now there's two dress code violators." Alex said, grabbing his hair in a way that showed he was stressed. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hide his brown bangs, and quite frankly, he didn't care right now. There was more chair moving and two more women sat down, one with light pink hair, the other with pink, purple, and yellow hair, each violating the wedding's dress code. Alex slammed his head on the table, giving up. "Do something, James!" Alex hissed. All James did was fall off Alex's head. "So what do you four want? As you can see, I'm contemplating what do with you dress code violators."
Ignoring his question, the woman with blue hair said, "I thought this attire was trending, and appropriate."
The woman with the delicate pink hair spoke up. "No Lu- I mean..uh.. I think he means we're supposed to wear black and white." Did that woman almost call blue-hair Luna?
"Oh." She replied.
"So what do you want? I'm not even sure you were invited to the wedding." Alex said, eyeing them all skeptically. He then noticed people staring at him from the table across from him. "What do you want?!" He half said, half shouted.
One man spoke up. "I think he needs friends, and stop talking to imaginary friends." Alex was momentarily stunned, and about to ask what he meant, but felt afist collide with the back of his head.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Alex woke up in an alley, his hand lightly gripping Tom, James covering his face. He then felt James lifted off by a hand, thinking it was his parents. Sadly it was otherwise. Right in front of him, in an alleyway in a human shape, was Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon, staring at his semi-conscious body, Lyra 'squee'-ing in delight of finally seeing what she had believed existed before ponies. A human, one who couldn't keep her from carrying him to her house, where there sat four familiar looking people, albeit no longer human, but pony-like. The ones who sat by him at the receptionary dinner. They were arguing, clearly unaware of his or Lyra and Bon Bon's presence. "Well then he would've considered himself delusional." Finished the woman with pink,purple, and yellow hair. That earned a round of agreements.
"Ahem." Lyra spoke up, hearing enough of the argument. "We have ourselves our little human right here." She said, putting him down in the center of the table. "Although I didn't know they always dressed like that. Pretty neat."
"They don't. All of them there were wearing dress clothes along with him. It was a wedding." Pink hair's ears splayed back at that second half.
"He was getting married?" She said, sad for some 'unknown' reason.
"No, I wasn't!" Alex suddenly shouted, bolting to the doorway bearing Tom, still covered in steak sauce. "Now why am I here?! Why did you bring me here! I need answers." Fleur, both happy and scared, replied to his sudden outburst of questions.
"First, because Discord brought you here by punching you...somehow, second, it wasn't willed. Discord does not, however know the way to get you back."
Alex, to the unexpectancy of the small crowd of anthro ponies, pulled out a flask of home made Vodka. "Well I need to stop making this stuff. I actually think I'm in equestria. And I thought it wasn't supposed to get me drunk." A certain purple mare gasped at seeing both a human, and a bottle of alcohol.
"We're not joking, and wait, you're underaged?" Fleur asked, even more disappointed.
"..."
"Sir?"
"I'm in Equestria." Alex said, taken aback.
"...Yes..." Fleur replied.
"And I'm talking to THE Fleur Des Lis, Luna, Lyra, Bon Bon, Discord, Luna, and Cadence?"
"Um... how do you know us?" Fleur said, scared now. Alex pulled out his necklace and tossed it on the table.
"Luna, Fleur, and Cadence." Alex replied simply, while Discord smiled, realising they didn't know of his bronydom. Alex pointed at them in the order he listed them. "Discord, Lyra, and Bon Bon." He added an extra tone of venom in his voice when he said 'Discord'. "I, all of you lovely ponies, am a brony. And it looks like I'm here to stay, so I'll tell you about me for the time being."
