Totally not a Cliche Concept
An Eventful Train Ride
Previous ChapterCelestia walked (trotted?) the mane 6 and I to the train."Remember, if anything goes wrong just send me a letter." Celestia told Twilight."What's wrong Princess, don't trust me?" I asked. "Yes well I want to ensure that my little ponies are safe if I leave you with them."
"Fair enough."
"AALLL ABOOARD"
"Well I guess we'll be off then." I said to Princess Celestia before I stepped into the train while the others were saying their goodbyes to Celestia. I took a nearby seat and reached into the inside pocket of my blazer and pulled out an ipod, I didn't know how long this train ride was going to be but I was going to enjoy my music until I arrived in Ponyville. Sadly, it seemed that somepony disagreed with me as I seen a cyan colored hoof snatch it away from me and by the time I could react she had landed a few metres away from me with my ipod in her hoof. Damn she wasn't lying when she said she was fast!
"What's this?" Rainbow asked me in a very demanding tone might I add!
"A source of entertainment for me. Now can I have it back?" I said.
"What kind of entertainment? How do we know this isn't dangerous?"
I hope hooves can't operate ipods because if she looks through any of the images, videos, or music I am royally fucked! I thought."The musical kind, and there is no way that could harm you unless I bludgeon you to death with it." I say in a frustrated tone. Hey! I may be in Equestria but that's no reason to take a guys music away. I always listen to music while travelling!
Rainbow seemed taken aback by my statement, I really didn't want to talk like that to her because She's my favorite pony, but, I was grouchy because I had just spent Celestia literally knows how long in a cell and now I had my only source of entertainment taken away. I would have just talked to them but that would require a lot of explaining on my part and I can be quite lazy for the most part."Why would you say something like that?"
"Look, I'm sorry. I'm still a little annoyed that I spent I don't know how long, hours maybe? In the dungeons of a castle in another world, possibly another reality, universe, dimension, I don't care, but please just give me a minute to calm down and I'll answer any questions you ask alright?" All the mares nodded."Good, I don't feel like any music right now anyway."
The girls sat around me while waiting for me to tell them they can start. God that wasn't how I imagined my first day in Equestria to be like. I was really naive to believe that I would be able to get ripped out of my own reality and shoved into theirs while being pieced together piece by piece and expect them to just outright trust and accept me.*sigh* I really didn't like the way I acted on that first day but I guess that's what a trip to the dungeons does to you. Anyway, where was I, oh yes! They had just sat around me and I decided I was ready, I mean, I knew they would ask the obvious "What are you? Where are you from?" questions but other than that I didn't know what else they would ask. I decided it would probably be better if there was some order to this so I asked them to sit in any order they wanted because I was going to go along them from left to right."Oh wait, I just realized, I don't know any of your names!" I exclaimed. - Also earning me another glare from Applejack, Goddammit how can she tell these things I mean even now it still confuses me, I know she's the Element of Honesty but I didn't think it would work on different species, anyway - "Oh sorry. My name is Twilight Sparkle. Personal student of Princess Celestia, but I guess the Princess already mentioned that before."
"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria." Still boastful as ever! I thought to myself.
"Ah'm Applejack." Applejack said with a deathly tone to her voice. I swear to Celestia she wants to add "but you already know that don't you" to the end of that.
"Hello darling my name is Rarity." I didn't know whether or not to tell her I really don't want to be called darling!
"H-h-hello I'm F-F-F-fluttershy." Damn that last part was nearly inaudible
"And I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie said while bouncing up and down in front of me.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you all. Now, how about we get started on those questions before we arrive at Ponyville." I said in a much brighter tone now that I had relaxed."Okay we'll start on Twilight and go along so next it'll be Rainbow Dash, then Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and finally Pinkie. Okay?" They all nodded."Good, Twilight?"
"I'd like to ask where are you from?"
"Well like I said earlier, I'm from a planet called Earth which revolves around a star known as the sun, there are other planets in our Solar system such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, I'm not gonna name the rest but you get the idea, there are any other Solar systems in our galaxy which is called the milky way and many, many galaxies in our universe. To be more specific, I myself live in a country called Wales on Earth. That answer your question?"
"Yes!" Twilight looked really excited, probably because she realized how much she could learn about humans from me, even though I could probably only scratch the surface of everything humans have done.
"Right then, Rainbow you're next."
"Oh, What is this really?" She said while holding up the ipod."You only said that it was a source of entertainment and could play music."
"Yes well that is called an ipod, it can be used to play music, videos, take photos and show them and play games, plus a whole lot more but that's the gist of it." Rainbow still looked confused after my brief explanation but then I realized."Do you know what videos are?" Rainbow shook her head."Ah, well then, the best way I could explain it to you is like. Imagine a moving picture, along with the sound. so what it does essentially is take loads of photos in a short amount of time and put them all together. I can show you one sometime." Just stay away from all the MLP related stuff. That may be a problem
I told myself. Rainbow seemed pleased with this so I went on.
"Applejack." Please don't go there, please don't go there, please don't go there! I repeated to myself in the hope that she might not ask.
"Why do you keep on lying?" Applejack asked. *imaginary table flip* Buck my luck. She actually went there. Dammit
