A Change Of Pace

Ponyville, Equestria

Farmer's market, Time:11:40

Jamir's POV:

You know the old saying right? ''Strangers are just friends waiting to happen?'' yea, well the world hit the mark on this one. Now it was not all sunshine and rainbows, but i did get a few stares and comments, granted that would happen, i mean how you think you saw something that's twice as tall as you and looks like it mean business? but besides all that, me and fluttershy have been talking on the whole way here. i explained to her about earth's flora and fauna, and i got to say she, look kind of entranced about it. i held back from asking the obvious questions, as it would blow my cover, so i decided that i should take the easy approach and ask kiddy questions just to be safe. ''So, fluttershy, what do ponies normally do for fun?'' i inquired wanting to know how they get by without tv, computer, or worst of all anime! ''well, we mostly read, talk to each other, have parties or do our things'' she said. not wanting to pry further, i chose to ask about her friends, even though once again mind you i know all of them. ''So you said you had some friends you wanted to introduce me to?'' i asked. ''oh yes, as a matter of fact, we can meet one of them, she works at the bakery over there. ''sugarcube corner, now i can finally answer my question if their sweets are as good as they say'' i said to frank in my mind.

''For both our sakes, i hope your wrong'' Frank said. ''and why is that?'' i asked. because we'd would normally have to deal with a normal hyped up pinkie, so one on sweets would be like coke and mentos, messy, huge, and sticky'' he said sounding kind of disgusted. ''i see your point, well i'm sure it won't be tha-OOF! i hit the ground, hard and speak of the devil, there she is in all of her pink glory. ''HI WHAT'S YOUR NAME, YOU LOOK SO STRANGE, ARE THOSE CLAWS,  WOW YOU'RE REALLY TALL, DO YOU LIKE CAKE?, I LOVE CAKE! OH! I HAVE TO  THROW A PINKIE MEETS FUNNY CREATURE I LOVE CAKE PARTY! GOTTA GO SEE YOU! BYE!'' and that was said all pretty fast before she zoomed off like the roadrunner off  to who knows where. ''oh jamir are you ok?'' fluttershy said worried. ''i'm fine, but why does it feel i got hit by a twister?'' i said disoriented. ''well, that was just pinkie pie being pinkie pie, knowing her she'll throw a party''. she in a matter of fact tone.

'well, are any of your other friends like this?'' i said with a small smile behind it.'' oh no, the rest are nice'' fluttershy said. ''well seeing as meeting one your friend has caught my interest, we might as put a hold on that food and meet the rest''. i said with a fake exhausted tone.

''well, you could go and meet rarity next, she's a seamstress over at carousel boutique and i'm sure she could make you some new clothes.'' she said

''o yea, forgot about my clothes'' i said. it was nothing horrible, but i did need a change of clothes. my pant had a tear in the right lower leg, my shirt was torn from the top of left shoulder to my belly button, giving somewhat of diagonal slit , and as for my hat , a piece of the brim got  chucked off,'' but at least  i'm not naked,'' i thought.

''yes, we are fortunate enough, we did die upon our arrival, otherwise i don't know what they write on your tombstone, something like hairless ape, maybe?'' frank joked. ''yea, yea yuck it  up '' i  joked.

TIME SKIP: 5  minutes later

Carousel Boutique 11:45

Still Jamir's POV:

when i laid eyes upon the boutique, i had a few words: ''small and frilly, yea that about does it. ''. i said '' So your friend rarity could make me some new clothes?'' i asked hoping for a satisfactory answer. '' oh yes, rarity's one of the best around, i'm sure she would have no trouble  making you some clothes.'' fluttershy said.

we went inside and it looked pretty much the same as it did on the few occasions i saw it on the show. a bell ringed to alert out presence, not 3 seconds after, we hear a ''coming!'' a few seconds later and there she is: rarity the unicorn in all her pride. the elegant white coat, perfectly styled mane, and  the trio of diamond cutie marks, yep, all there. ''Fluttershy!, what a pleasant surprise, what  brings you to the- oh!'' she said after laying eyes on me. ''Rarity, this is my new friend, Jamir, he was out at the edge of the everfree forest, and he need some new cloths since his sort of got tattered when he fought a manticore.'' fluttershy stated.''a manticore? however did you vanquish  that creature and not come hurt?'' Rarity asked looking utter dumbstruck.

''Simple,'' i said. ''I used my speed and stinger against it, ultimately, his downfall was inevitable'' i said shrugging my shoulders. ''Well, my good sir, that takes courage and  strength to pull of such a feat!'' Rarity said with grace. ''I would be happy to make you some quality attire, sir.'' Rarity replied.

''Well thank you miss Rarity , i only wish i could pay you back for this, but i have no money'' i said looking like a dumb deer in headlights.

''Not another word, i won't take no for a answer.''she said. '' in that case, thank you for your generosity, Rarity, knowing your handiwork from a quick glance it will be marvelous.'' i said. ''i.... just pulled a twilight didn't i?'' i asked Frank. ''Yep'' he said.

''now, if you'll come with me so i can get your measurements, we can get started'' Rarity said. '' I'll come back a little later you guys, i have some errands to run'' Fluttershy said. ''ok, see you when you get back'' I said.

Time Skip:1 hour

Jamir's POV ''Once again, i want to thank you for what you've done for me, I'll find someway to pay you back''. i said ''think nothing of it darling, it is what i do after all.'' she said. well good thing i got some clothes or i'd be hosed. i don't know how but she managed to fix the clothes i already had on, and made a baker's dozen of clothes for in record time. some shirts collared with my initials, some had designs of rarity's cutie mark along the sleeves, collar and front of the shirt, some dark colored clothes, ''favorite'', and the rest were simple. as for the pants more or less the same. but it was when outfitted my hat which made me happy, she had added  baby blue sapphires in the shape of her cutie mark where the 'D' used to be.

''Wow, I love these clothes, thank you again rarity, you're too kind'' i said. ''well it was a bit of a challenge to get your proportions right, but i've outdone myself should i say'' she stated proudly. at that point, Fluttershy had came back with four other ponies and dragon whom i knew instantly, but being who i am just kept my mouth shut and let them introduce themselves. '' hello''? i said hesitantly since they had these looks of intense contemplation, or at least twilight did. ''uh Fluttershy, Rarity, i think i broke your friends.'' i thought. it then i finally a break in the silence when Twilight asked me the one question i figured Fluttershy would ask me: ''Excuse  me, but what are you?'' Twilight asked with a curious nature.

''I am a human, more specifically , homo sapien a race of the only extant members of the hominin clade, which is a branch of great apes characterized by our erect posture, dexterity, and bipedal locomotion.'' i called off from the top of my head. and take a wild guess as to what she did, yep wrote it down.

''and you also don't mind me asking, where you from?'' she asked. ''I am from the planet earth, in the milky way galaxy.'' i said.

'' and what does your diet consist of?'' she asked with all seriousness.

oh great, still not a day in and we've hit the prime question of the hour. well i suppose rather they find out now then later.

''Well, please don't think any different, but i'm an omnivore and i do eat meat'' i said waiting for their  response.

Time Skip:10 minutes later:

Jamir Pov:

Turns out after explaining my need for meat and the human body as best i could to them, they seemed to calm down after they made pinkie promise i wouldn't eat ponies and should i want meat, to do it as quick and painless as possible. ''so now that has been taken care of, mind telling me who the rest of you are?'' i asked once again already knowing, but playing the part.

''Name's Rainbow Dash, fastest Pegasus  in all of equestria who pulled off the legendary sonic rainboom and  a future wonderbolt!'' she bragged.

''nice to meet you rainbow''. i said after getting a hoof bump.

''ah'm Applejack, ah work down at sweet apple acres, best place in equestria to get apples, and trust me when ah say y'all need to have a taste to really experience it.'' she said with the utmost confidence. ''well, i'll be sure to try it sometime.'' i said actually wanting something to eat.

''And i'm spike! Twillight's faithful assistant!'' he stated while folding his arms while smirking.

''nice to meet you, spike'' i said. ''you guys already know who i am, but i have yet to introduce you to my other friend, Frank'' i said.

''where the hay is he?'' Applejack asked looking around. ''yea!'' everyone else said. I tell them to follow me in the mirror, because for some reason other people can only see him when they look in a mirror with me, no clue why it happens, just does.

''HaHaHa!'' Rainbow laughed out loud. ''look at him, he's so weird looking! Ha!'' she laughed once again. ''wait, Frank what the hell are you doing man?'' i asked looking kind of pissed he would be doing this, i though we had talk about this. ''What, can you blame me?, you would have done the same thing you know!'' he said. '' Dancing like an idiot is something you can, but i'd rather try and not look like big bird off of dame sesame street.'' i deadpanned.  ugh, i can't believe he would still do this when he knows he sucks at dancing, whatever we can talk his horrible moves later on. ''Anyway girls...and spike, this is Frank Graffias,my partner,best friend, and a major pain sometimes'' i joked. Frank

''hello''Twilight said

''howdy, partner'' Applejack said

''what's up?'' Rainbow got out while trying not to giggle.

''HIYA! Pinkie said.

''Greetings'' Rarity said

''Hi'' Fluttershy said.

''Nice to meet all of you'' Frank said back.

''well that went well'' i beamed to Frank. ''indeed'' he said. so far a lot has happened so far, but something tells me I've yet to even the touch the surface, let alone scratch it.  '' I don't mean to rude you guys, but i have eaten noting since i got  here, so you think we could go get some food?'' i asked with a pleading look. the girls and spike all laughed a little, but pretty soon Twilight decided that she would treat us to some food so they could get to know more about me ''hey anything if it means food in my gullet.'' I laughed. Pretty soon we left the boutique and headed into town to sate my hunger and learn more about girls and spike.
