Banned From Equestria

When I arrived in Ponyville, as I soon discovered it to be named, I was greeted to a massive influx of ponies. They were all hustling about, getting to their house or just running errands from what I could overhear. I still couldn't believe this. It had to be a dream. I slowly walked through the center when I was knocked down by someone, and when I got up I found two large blue eyes staring into mine. “Ohmigosh Ohmigosh Ohmigosh are you NEW to Ponyville? Oh hi there! My name is Pinkie Pie eveypony’s favorite pony here I throw parties for every new pony here what’s your name oh no I’m late for my meeting with Rainbow Dash gotta go bye!”

And just like that the quickest meeting of my life was over. I stared dumbfounded at her as she bounced away, knocking over several ponies. A gray flying pony must have seen me because she floated up right next to me and said, “Yup. That’s Pinkie Pie for you.” I looked at the one speaking to me, only to see her eyes were…”off-centered”, to put it nicely. She must’ve seen my staring because she withdrew and whimpered “I was born like this…” I instantly apologized, saying I was still in shock about my encounter with the Pink one. I asked her what her name was and she replied that she was “Ditzy Doo, the Mail-mare of Ponyville! But just call me Derpy! All the other ponies around here call me that!” When I asked her how she got her wings, she simply giggled and replied that all pegasi have wings. With that, she bid farewell and floated away, bumping into a cloud.

So, a pegasi, huh? I thought. I wondered what type of pony I was. I had seen flying, horned, and just plain ones at this point, although there may have been rarer ones I had not seen yet. I looked to my left and right to disappointingly notice I had no wings. I couldn't tell if I had a horn or not, so I jogged on over to a nearby water source. I looked at my reflection; I was a red pony with brown hair, mustard colored eyes, and didn't have a horn. Wonderful, that “Great and Powerful Trixie” could’ve at least given me some wings and a horn I glumly thought.

About the time the sun started to set, I suddenly realized I had nowhere to go. Everyone was starting to go indoors as well. I walked up to a Cupcake shaped building that was brightly lit and entered. A rather portly teal pony looked at me. “Why, hi there. We usually don’t get visitors around this time. What would you like?”

After I realized I had walked into a bakery store and not a hotel of some sort, I managed to stammer out “Oh! S-sorry…I thought this was a hotel…W-would, you, uh, happen to know where an-“ She began to laugh loudly at this point, and said “Why, of course you can stay here, pumpkin! We have extra bedrooms upstairs!” She exclaimed, still giggling.

“W-wow, really? Thanks! I have nowhere else t…I mean, I’m new in town.” I said. She nodded, understandingly and gave me a set of sheets. “What’s the catch?” I asked without thinking.

“Catch? Whatever do you mean?” she asked me, looking at me with pure innocence. When she asked me that, I knew I had made a mistake; I was used to Earth, still. People don’t just do you nice things on Earth for no reason. But this pony, this teal pony, was doing this just to be nice, and there actually was no catch.

“Ah…” I struggled to think of something to say, “Where I was staying before, they had me do some intensive labor there…” and when I said that, she frowned and shook her head.

“I swear, the rudeness of somepony’s. Well, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you stay nice and comfortable here.” With that, I entered my room and bunked down, surviving my first night in this new world.
