Author's Note

Hello you wonderful people, this is a story I will be making alongside A Stallion of Law. Now don't be alarmed, my attention will be focused mainly on the Lawton and his comrades but I will make chapters in this story to. This is my take on a future where anthro ponies exist and a nerd must survive in a college, ENJOY

College

...So, I'm guessing you guys are my readers so I'll ask a question. What do you do when your folks tell you you're going to a college...in a completely different world? Yea, that's whats happening to me...and its quite the change. Oh, maybe I should explain this whole "different world" business. I don't know why I should but I hate stories where nothing is explained. So it starts in 2015, the year where everything turns upside down for the entire human population. Twelve scientists from different countries all gather 'round and are like 'lets make some portals'. So they did using some kind of science that if I had the time to explain I would, but that would require some effort on my part so lets not. Basically, the scientists succeeded and found a whole other world. This brought a whole array of controversy from the world itself, not just because twelve people made a portal to another dimension, but because this world had inhabitants. They were like us humans, they could talk, read, write and pretty much were shaped like us. The one difference was that these creatures were...horse-like....pony-like to be more exact. They had hands and feet, but they also had muzzles and tails...and wings and horns. These "Anthro's" as we called them have subspecies of their kind, "Pegasi" and "Unicorns" while the ones without any additional body parts are titled "Earth Ponies".

We were, of course, terrified that these creatures would overthrow us and make humans slaves. on the contrary, this turned out to be a complete 180 compared to what these Anthro's were actually like. The monarch of this discovered country known as "Equestria" had shown that they were completely safe and harmless. As quick as the Anthro's were discovered, the world gave these creatures a chance and quickly became part of our society. The Anthro's showed us magic and gave us permission to live on their land. We in return gave them everything we accomplished with technology. That covers up the basics...but you social media peeps are more interested in my new college life.

I'll be honest, i'm frickin terrified about this place. High-school was a sad time for me, being a nerd in a social class student body sucked. Do you know how hard it is to be a nerd who plays video games and anime when it comes to getting a date...jocks always got the pretty ones. My mom said I should be glad with the way I look, no pimples, tall figure, an 80's mullet, but that never gave me the confidence to approach a girl. I had friends in high-school, sure, but they were all in the same group I was...nerds. Graduation was the happiest time I had, simply because I could finally leave that hellhole. Of course, my parents were more interested in me getting into a college. Thanks to my grade average, I was accepted into a college...in Equestria.

Don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to go to Equestria...but staying their for a whole year for college...that's hyperventilating worthy. I'm currently on the dimensional train for this place called "Ponyville"...oh god have mercy. My mind was racing as the train was on the tracks, but I was soon caught by something beautiful. I always heard about the mesmeric beauty of that minute long passage between our world and Equestria, but to actually see it... it's magical. The array of colors that captivate you, telling you that your going to a wonderful place. I hope heaven is this beautiful, because that may be where i'm heading when college jocks get to me. The train comes to a stop, opening it's doors as the lovely pre-recorded voice said her usual speal.

"Thank you for choosing Cross-Roads-Station and we hope you enjoy your stay."

'HEY VOICE, GUESS WHAT, YOUR THE ONLY STATION THAT TRAVELS THROUGH DIMENSIONS, WE HAVE TO CHOOSE YOU. OH, AND YOUR FOOD SUCKS MORE THAN A CHRISTMAS STORY 2!' I mentally screamed as I got up to tread to my soon-to-be prison. Grabbing my giant-ass suitcase, I headed towards the open doors to catch the bus that would lead me to...um...shoot I forgot the name. Oh well, back to real life I'm now waiting at a bus stop, trying to hide myself from the stares these college Anthro's are giving me. My parents never mentioned that this college was in a densely populated Anthro environment until they finally let look at the brochure. In hindsight, I thought being a human in an Anthro college would be fun...except for all these stares. Only god knows if I can make out of this alive, and by Go-wait, used that deity already...by Zeus I'll try.

The bus finally pulled up with the college's name on the side, "Pony University"...so original I swear. We all got on, I found a nice seat in the back, and the bus drove off. It was quite shaky, but when you take the local bus to high-school in Philly you learn to adapt. I was still un-nerved, getting occasional glances from these ponies, even a full on stare from this mint Unicorn. The university was starting to come to view as we pulled up to the front gate. The place was actually quite far from the town, surrounded by a forest...not that Everfree place though, that would b unsettling. The main building was quite large, as to be expected from a university. The bus pulled to a stop and everyone...or pony as the Anthro's put it, got out and headed towards the main building. I was following behind, due to the heavy load of crap I was carrying. Everypony was filled in a line as they got their schedules and dorm room keys. Finally I pulled and was meet with a cream colored mare at the receptionists desk.

"Hello, welcome to-" the mare stopped as she took a moment to stare at me in front of her desk. I gave her a worried smile as I leaned on the behemoth that was my suitcase.

"Ah, so your the human we were told about." the cream mare said as she relaxed.

"P-Pardon?" I squeaked out, why would they be alerted of a human attending a mostly pony-I just answered my question.

"Sorry to say this kid, but your the only human who seems to be attending this year. Here's the keys and your schedule, have a good day." She handed me the piece of paper and the keys. I shakily took them as I wondered to the male dorm building to get unpacked. The thought was still raging in my head...the only human? This sounded like Negima...except I wasn't a little welsh boy surrounded by women...well not entirely. Anthro's were very one sided when it came to the gene-pool, so a lot of the citizens are female. However, I expect my luck with them to be as saddening as my luck with human chicks. Well, maybe it won't be as bad as i'm making it out to be...right?

So I'm following the group of freshman stallions to the nice pathway to two dorm buildings facing each other side by side. One building on my right was blue...so I guess that would signify that's were the guys go...man i'm tripping. They all enter in the main hall of the dorm while I quickly slither my way through to gt to my room. 340...340, where is 340? I'm looking through every hall but I can't seem to find it. My chances of getting to my first class is slim now, and I was going to give the teacher an apple. However, a voice called out to me.

"Ya need help there pardner?" called a stallion across from me. He was red and had a dark blonde mane, oh and he had green eyes...just wanted to let you know. He was wearing decent clothes, a red and white checkered shirt and some jeans. Oh, and if you didn't notice, he had the most western accent I have ever heard. Hearing it was like feeling the round-house kick of Chuck Norris...in Walker: Texas Ranger to be fitting. He came up to me, looking to be a foot taller than my lanky six foot one stature. I was pretty intimidated by the stallion, being a nerd who routinely got insulted by buff jocks was quite a break on your psyche. But, for the sake of actually needing help, I spoke up.

"Y-Yes...um, i'm looking for room 340." I said as he came near. He immediately gestured towards an old busted door with a rusted gold colored plate. I looked him confused, and he just gave me this very calm smile.

"That room hasn't been used for awhile, sorry ya got it." the stallion said as he put his hand forward for a shake. I hesitantly returned the shake, which I quickly regretted as this guy had the force to crush my hand tenfold. He saw the wince in my face and let go. "You alright there pardner?" he said with some concern.

"Oh i'm fine...just feel like my arm is an instant noodle." I said in my joking manner. Usually I could trust my sense of humor to break most of the ice when it came to basic conversation. Luckily it worked for the stallion in front of me as he chuckled at my pain.

"Funny there pardner, names Big Macintosh, but most ponies just call me Big Mac." Big Mac said with a smile. It was strange, I was around this guy for only a couple of seconds and yet I felt relaxed around him. However, I had stuff to unpack so I couldn't stay long.

"Well, Mr.Mac, I best be going now." I said as I hastily made for my room. I'll admit that was a little rude on my part, but I saw another smile from him so I guess there was no ill will there. Entering the room...well, lets just say its not the most glorious room I've stayed in. It's dusty, it smells of rotten cheese, and I swear there was something under the run down bed. None the less, I started unpacking, sorting all of my things out. I was lucky to see that apparently and old room comes with no need for a roommate, glad to see I wouldn't be put through that anytime soon. I was able to assort most of my stuff, shelving the plethora of books and manga I brought with me. I then brought out the books that I would need for class, and boy were they heavy. I mean, of course there going to be heavy, there college grade material, but man are they page-heavy. One of the books in particular takes a lot of interest in me, "Equestrian History", a book that explains...you get the idea. I never really got the chance to study anything about Anthro's in high-school, so having to learn about there whole history is quite overwhelming.

Seeing that I have only 20 minutes until I my first class, English, I grabbed the respective book and hightailed it to the class. I squeezed past a couple of Stallions until I finally made it out to the grounds. I'm practically running at this point until something catches my eye...six somethings to be exact. You know that one group of kids you see in middle or high-school and you instantly think they're the most interesting people you see? Well, time literally stopped as I took in the six female Anthro's near one simple bench.

One was sitting on the left of the bench reading some kind of book. She was a nice shade of purple, with purple hair that had a lighter streak of...purple. She also had big, lovely eyes colored...purple. She wore a typical school girl outfit with a long skirt, but the catch was...they were purple. The mare looked like a unicorn since I caught a glimpse of her horn. Their was a pink mare over her shoulder, Earth pony I believe, who had nice poofy pink hair, staring at the book that that the purple Unicorn was reading. She looked to be wearing a simple shirt with some shorts to match. Next to the purple mare was a light grey Unicorn with a nice purple mane and, again, crystal blue eyes. What struck me about her was her more...fashion oriented appearance, having a stylish white work shirt with some possibly real diamonds etched on the collar. She also wore a pink work skirt to go withe the aforementioned shirt. This mare was conversing with a yellow mare with a pink mane and...wings, a Pegasus. Her wings were folded nicely on a green sweater and under her was a simple green skirt. Their were also these wonderful green eyes in her skull that nearly tore me from the other two mares. Oh, and she...also had big...um...lets use fruit here...melons...no watermelons...straight from an anime...like Seikon no Qwaser. Across from them were two other mares conversing with each other. One was an orange Earth Pony with a blond mane and light green eyes. The mare had on a simple plaid shirt with some ripped up jeans. She also had a large stetson hat and, unlike the other girls so far who wore simple shoes, cowboy boots. The mare she was conversing with was blue and had this rainbow mane that seemed to be a little jagged. The mare was dressed in a sports bra tank top which was perfect for her floating wings and she wore tight, TIGHT yoga pants. Her eyes also struck me blind with those perfect magenta gems...i'm not weird I swear. That was all I caught in that short span of time I looked at the group...unrealistic...most likely...worth it...for a nerd like me...definitely.

I kept running, still picturing that yellow mare's...assets, until I reached the main building. I slow down so i'm walking at a steady pace, god knows that I need to be pulled over by a hall monitor. A thought then dawned on me once more...I'M LOST AGAIN. Seriously, I don't know why, but I've been getting more side tracked than The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I need directions to the room, so I have to do something I dread...ask questions to unsuspecting people. I lay my eyes on a grey mare with a blond mane...guess she'll have to do. I walk a little behind her and lightly tap her on the shoulder. She jumps and faces me, allowing me to see her blond eyes, one apparently lazy since it was looking upwards. I tried to avert my gaze from her...assets, and focus on her one eye.

"Um, do you know where...Ms.Harshwinny's English class is?" I asked with uncertainty. The gray mare looked at me perplexed, I couldn't tell if it as because I was a human or she was surprised I even spoke to her.

"D-Down the hall and make a l-left." the gray mare squeaked. I bowed quickly and made for the room she pointed to. First day of college...oh this is fun.
