I'M SO SORRY
This shouldn't have taken this long but I've been busy with life and couldn't get to work on this but I'll try harder to get more chapters out, and expect a new story!

Walking Around Town

As you walk outside you notice that it's around mid-day, and decide to take a stroll around town to start sight seeing of this little town. You decide to go to the center of town as a start on this small journey. While you've been walking for only a few minutes, you start to notice the stares and small whispers from some of the ponies. Some sounded like "..he's in for it.." or "Wait till she finds him.." but they all seemed to be talking about somepony but who ever it was seemed to know you, in the bad way.

"Who could this pony or even a different being, have in store for me when it or she, finds me?" Through the entire walk you were constantly either glanced at or stared at in some way or another. Once you reach what you presume is the center of the town, from the fountain in the middle of the circular street filled with ponies. You still can't believe on how many shades of colors there are, some colors look the same from a distance but when put together there are clear differences between them. There's also shops outlining the center of the town, ranging from apples to giant gem stones.

"I don't have any money of this world, so buying some thing as of now isn't exactly possible." You walk up to the fountain with your mind wandering through the thoughts on how to live here and all the different variables on what living here will do to your mind. Those thoughts are throw immediately out the window as you see the quick and slight glare of either a rifle scope or binoculars, either one isn't good when pointed from an unknown. You throw your rifle off your shoulder going into combat stance, aiming your rifle at where the glare came from. "If it was a sniper or any scoped rifle they would have shot already, so that means binoculars, which either means scouts or a civilian deciding to take a peak at me." Given it might be a civilian or scouts of an enemy combatant, you keep your rifle up at the spot and run up to the building's edge. You get some space before running and jumping to the ledge to climb up. Once you're up you're still lower then the top of the roof's peek so you go up and look over, your rifle now aiming over the side. All you see is a mint green pony running and jumping onto another roof.

"Hey! Stop right there!" You yell seeing no weapons on the pony. Seeing how the pony won't stop you get up and give chase. After running and almost slipping off the roofs for a few minutes you reach and end to the street of where the pony has stopped and turned around. While catching up to what you see as a female, you stop and point your M4 at her.

"S..Stop! Go for any w..weapons and I will fire!" you say while gathering your breath. The mint colored mare just stares at you wide eyed while she drops her binoculars.

"Y-you are real!" She exclaims while smiling, not expecting this reaction you have no clue on how to react.

"Yes, I am real, now what were you doing spying on me, if I hadn't been as relaxed as I was, you might be six feet under right now." You say with a hint of anger.

"I had to know first hoof, if you were truly real or the ponies around town were just pulling a prank on me. Also, sorry, I kinda got nervous on seeing you were real so when you saw me i just ran not knowing what you could do."

"Strange, so I must be a myth around here." "Pulling a prank? Why would they do that about me being here to you?"

"Oh, well you're only a myth, well were, and there's very few "true" documents on humans in this world. I'm also know for having...a "hobby" on the stories about humans." She paused on the last few words of her sentence.

"I feel like she has more then the average hobby in studding my kind, although I know quite a few people back home who take on strange.."hobbies" that involve myths." "That makes more sense, and let me guess, they think you're nuts about how my kind is real or was real at some point in time?"

"Actually, yeah that's about it in a nut shell, a bit sad isn't it..?" She says with a hint of depression.

"Not at all, if anything, I proved that you were right by suddenly poofing into this realm." You say trying to cheer her up.

"I guess..names Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings. Although you can call me Lyra."

"Okay Lyra, nice meeting you, but next time, don't have me chase you down?"

"I'll try not to, well see you later!" She says with slight seriousness in her voice as she disappears in a light green cloud of dust. You shrug it off as you hop of the roof looking around on where to go next.

"Where's there to go next? I've only got a few hours till shift, walk around town some more? Oh, Rarity was supposed to make me some cloths, I should stop bye to check on what she's done." You start walking in the direction of what you suppose where her residence is.

----Few minutes later----

You knock on the dark purple door and peer through the small window in the door. You see a marshmallow colored female working furiously at what seems to be a denim jacket, Rarity.

"Come in!" She yells. You open the door and look around still amazed at the size of the place for only one pers-pony to live in and work. As you walk towards Rarity she glances back at you then continues her work.

"I'm almost done with your cloths don't worry darling. I made three other pairs of cloths if you want to check them out." She says pointing over to a white bag trimmed with magenta. You walk over to the bag and peer in seeing neatly folded cloths with a piece of paper with your name on it. "Damn, she's good at this." She turns around and throws you something in a smaller bag.

"Go try this on, I think you'll like it." Rarity says as she points to a changing room. You walk into the small room and open the bag and lay out it's contents. A black denim jacket, dark grey T-shirt, and black combat pants."Either she knows that I got a job and what the job is or she knows my favorite color." You change into the new cloths and put your gear back in the bag except your M9 which you attach to your leg holster. You walk out and put the bag next to the magenta and white bag.

"Thank you Rarity, this is very generous of you, no one back home would do this for a stranger." You say while putting your dog tags under your shirt.

"Well thank you Jacob, and that's a shame, but this is the only freebie, next time you have to pay."

"Understood ma'am, and could you do me a favor, drop this off at Twilight's for me? I got to get to work a bit early to get brownie points with the owner."

"Sure darling, I'll have Spike deliver it there for you."

Thank you Rarity, see you later." You wave good bye as you leave the building towards your new job, a bouncer.
