Welcome to ponyville.

The train finally stopped at Ponyville station and the doors began to open. But as Rainbow dash awaited her friends, Her eyes ended up locking on a new arrival. He was tall, and clad in a T-shirt and duster with the words "East coast Regulators" written on it. His red glacier glasses reflecting the light as he stepped off the train. Perched on his head was a brown stetson. He was lean, tan, and had a couple small scars on his chin. Time seemed to slow and a song Started to play in her head. The sunset seemed to gleam off of a Badge made of a metal circle surrounding a star. The words U.S Marshal were written on it. The Stallion looked dangerous... until he fell flat on his face after tripping on the edge of the platform. Fluttershy and Applejack both rushed to pick him up, and Fluttershy placed a Cherry-wood cane in his left hand.

"Damnit Fluttershy! I will walk on my own! I don't need a cane!" Shouted the newcomer as he tried to cast it away.

"sure ya don't...Grandpa" Said Applejack, Rolling her eyes and smirking.

The newcomer Crossed his arms. "You're a year older'n me AJ, Should I call Ya an old maid?" Applejack raised an eyebrow and smacked him upside the head.

"Not polite ta make fun of a lady's age Courier. Now grab yer cane and let's get movin' " she admonished with a smile as he tried to readjust his glasses.

Rainbow Dash couldn't Help but laugh at the scene as she walked over. "Hey AJ! Flutters! You're Back! Rarity Too! Are you guys ok? Where have ya been? You just disappeared!" Applejack stopped her with a hand over her mouth.

"now now Rainbow. Talk any faster an' ya will sound like pinkie" Chided the cowgirl.

Rainbow Force herself to calm down as Lyra, Rarity, and Twilight left the train. "Yeah. Sorry. Who's the new guy?"

"car- er Courier Shield" Said Carter, Still unused to the name he'd been given to fit in better. He held out his hand to the rainbow haired girl, Rainbow she'd been called fittingly enough.

"Rainbow dash, Athlete extraordinaire" said the grinning, winged pony girl. "gotta ask though, What's with the cane?"

Carter Raised an eyebrow and leaned down. He pulled up the pantleg until Rainbow could see the straps attaching the artificial limb. "Explosion." he said with an emotionless monotone.

Rainbow went very pale,. "Sorry...I didn't mean..." she said, Looking caught between being ill and bursting into tears. She could only stare until Carter dropped the pants and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Did you blow off my leg?" he asked with a bitter smile. Rainbow shook her head. "Then you don't have ta be sorry." he said and patted her back. " besides. I'd still Prolly beat ya in a fo-hoofrace" he said nonchalantly." Rainbow dash shook her head a couple of times to clear it.

"bring it on! I won't go easy on ya!" Rainbow dash replied with a grin.

Applejack Just Smiled, Happy that Carter had gotten himself out of a bad situation. "Come on Courier. Let's get y'all set up at sweet apple acres, and get ya a homecooked meal. 'sides. I gotta tell mah family ahm okay."

Carter just nodded and stepped out of the station, Only to be flattened by a cannon's worth of confetti.

"WELCOME TO PONYVILLE MR. COURIER!" Shouted a pink girl. Carter had to double take as he saw her more clearly. The other girls were cute in their own way, but pinkie had a weapons grade rack and a Pillowlike tush. he'd thought Applejack had big ones before he saw those. Being a polite young man, he tore his eyes away from the finbags to look the pony-girl in the face, seeing her massive grin.

"Uh....Hi?" said carter, dumbfounded as he picked himself up off of the ground.

The girl just bounced around him until he got up. "SO! Are you ready to party! because I'm always ready to party! Oh, I'm Pinkie Pie by the way, What's your name?"

"Courie-" Carter tried to reply, But he got his mouth covered.

"you're Real name silly, not you're pony one!" said Pinkie with a giggle

"How did...what? What!?" Carter looked at Applejack but she just Shrugged

"Sorry sugarcube. Can't keep squat From Pinkie." replied applejack with a sigh.

Carter's shoulders sagged. "Just One of those days huh? I'm Carter. Carter Daniels. Pleasure ta meet ya miss Pie" He shook hands and politely refrained from staring at her unbelievably Huge Breasts.

Pinkie Noticed and got a Mischievous grin. She grabbed him and stuffed his face into her cleavage in what was ostensibly a hug. "Aww, Poor guy's been through a lot huh? Let auntie Pinkie take care of it!"

Carter couldn't breath, between the shirt material, and the breasts her was pretty much done in. He could think of worse ways to die though. He shivered at the thought of Cazadores. Eventually, Applejack freed him from the pink flesh and punted Pinkie into the distance. As she flew away she was giggling.

"See ya at sugarcube Corner, Courier! We'll have a welcome to ponyville party sooooooon!"

Applejack Helped carter up and dusted him off. She had a look of annoyance on her face. "Sooo....Pinkie Huh?" asked carter with a shit eating grin."

Applejack sighed. "Yup. and don't you even dare think of tryin' nuthin' with her. She's got a coltfriend."

"I can see why" said Carter. Applejack thumped him for that one. After a few moments, Rarity, lyra, and the others excused themselves to their homes to catch up on missed work.

"C'mon. let's get ta sweet apple acres. Yer gonna be stayin there fer a bit." said applejack as she took off. Carter followed. It was easy going, if somewhat slow. The pain in Carter's stump made him slow down a little and use his crutch more despite his protests. About halfway to the farm, they heard a shout.

"Gangway! Comin' through!"

Applejack dived o the side, but Carter was unable to get away in time and, as a result, ended up on the ground. Again.

"I swear by all that is holy, If I get knocked down one more time, I'm gonna snap." Muttered carter as he sat up. He found three young girls sitting on the ground in front of him and staring at his left leg. In the accident one of the straps had come loose and the prosthenic had fallen off. However, The girls only saw a leg bent at a near 90 degree angle in an unnatural position.

The first girl, with a big red bow, screamed. The second, A white girl with cotton candy hair, fainted. The third, and orange girl with purplish hair, Turned green in her face and flapped her hummingbird wings anxiously.

"Consarn It Applebloom! I tald ya to be careful when y'all play around. You should be glad that Mr. Dan-er Mr shields here ain't hurt!" Shouted Applejack at the young filly.

"But applejack! His leg is bent the wrong way! How is he not hurt!"

Carter smiled and lifted his pantleg again to readjust the prosthenic. " That's Because I don't have a leg, little Darlin'. Now you should listen to yer big sis here. She's saved my hide on several occasions."

Applebloom's eyes widened as the other Cutie mark crusaders recovered. "Is that where you went Sis? ta help this guy?"

Applejack shook her head. "Not exactly. Let's get home. I'll tell ya the story later."
