Chapter 1: Welcome to Ponyville

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I am laying down in a very dark room, on a very uncomfortable bed. Where was I? How did I get here?

Suddenly, the lights flashed on and nearly blinded me. I cover my eyes so I don't get that outcome. I slowly put down my hands and glance around the room.

My eyes capture every detail of this room; There's a sink, toilet, a metal door, and, of course, the bed I'm now sitting on. Kind of looks like a jail cell with the dark concrete walls.

Then I hear a creak and look at the door. My eyes widen at what I saw. A pony..

"Stay still." It said in a masculine voice.

I feel like I was going to faint, and I nearly did until my head hit the concrete wall.

I am going to guess that it's a "he" because of the masculine voice.

I looked at the the pony, only to see he was just three feet away from my face, so I jumped back. Ever thought of personal space?

Well, at least I can see it better.

He has a black mane and a grey coat with wings, his eyes were freakishly huge and scary because they looked like golden snake eyes, and he had a tattoo of a red lightning bolt with grey wings on its flank.

"Listen," He said sternly. "We have to go, no questions, just follow me." He signaled me to follow, but I just sat there, shocked that he could talk. A talking pony! I mean seriously, could life get any stranger?

"Are you deaf? Let's go!" He said hurriedly.

"Who are you?" I asked curiously, looking at the slightly opened metal door and back at the pony.

He groaned and looked at me with anger. "My name is Black Night, and you're in a prison in Canterlot. Now get your ass up and get out the door!"

"Fine, fine. Just asking, jeez." I said with a joking face. He just glared at me, a frown spread across his face.

I walked out the door and he slowly followed, closing it quietly.

"Which way?" I asked the Black Night, glancing at him.

"Go left." He said, sticking to the dark while I walked in the center of the hallway.

"What do you think you're doing?" A masculine voice behind us asked.

I slowly turned to face the voice, and saw that it was another pony, only dressed in gold armor.

"Um... Walking towards... the... exit." I said with a sheepish smile on my face.

"No, you're going back to your cell, where you belong." He said, eyeing me from head to toe.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because, you're an unknown species that could possibly threaten all of ponykind and conquer our planet." He said with a higher voice.

"Now, you head on back to your cell or else I'll use lethal force!" He practically yelled at me.

I flinched and to a few steps back, then I saw a dark figure appear behind the guard. It was Black Night.

He grabbed onto the guards chin and cranium and snapped the guards neck like a glow stick.

I jumped back in fear, slowly walking backwards.

"What?" he asks, "He was going to kill you if you didn't comply so, what did I do? I killed him." He says, a grin slowly creeping across his face.

I just stared at the now dead guard with pity.

"Let's go, don't want anymore showing up." He said hurriedly as he headed towards the dark shadows.

I start walking with him a few feet, then look back at the dead guard.

"What would happen if I did comply and headed back to my cell?" I asked.

"What would happen," he says angrily, looking back at me. "Is that he would take you back to your cell and you would stay there until your scheduled execution day, where I would be watching you get blasted to bits by Unicorns." He said, looking forward and sighing.

My eyes widened as I realized what a stupid idea it'd be if I agreed.

"Thank you for killing him then." I said sadly.

"No problem. But before we do anymore escaping, let me cover some rules with you." He says, turning to face me. "First of all, you will listen to me while we're escaping this prison. Two, you will not ask any questions or look at anypony until we reach my home in Ponyville. Three, you are not allowed to leave my sight unless I say so. Got it?" He asks, looking me expectantly.

"Deal." I say grinning.

"Good, now take these, and follow me."

He tosses a cloak over to me, long enough to cover my face and body.

We soon exit the prison and walk into a bustling city. Full of ponies eyeing me curiously.

"Don't make eye contact." Black Night whispered.

I listened and throughout the whole city, I stayed quiet without looking around. Damn I'm good at following orders.

We soon came to a stop at a train station.

You know when you feel like you're the center of attention? Well I am right now because people are staring at me with disgust written all over their faces.

I cover my head with the hood of the cloak.

The conductor yells, "All aboard!"

We hop onto the train and find seats.

I wish I wasn't so tall because I have to lean down in order not to touch the ceiling with my head.

It takes an hour or two to reach our destination. What a boring ride.

"Come on," He says. "This is our stop."

I follow him off the train and into a open area.

There's a sign that's in a weird language I can't understand.

Black Night looks at me then follows my eyes and sees what I'm looking at.

"That says, 'Welcome to Ponyville' by the way." He says, looking at me jokingly.

I nod and follow him through Ponyville.

Now I know that it sounds small, but it's huge here. I mean, it looks like someone took Portland and shoved it into this world. Seriously, this place is gigantic.

I feel something poke my leg. I look down only to see Black Night looking up at me. He looks pissed.

"Remember the rules? What happened to rule number two?" He asks, anger in his eyes.

"Sorry, just got caught in the moment." I say, a sheepish grin spreading across my face.

"Follow me and do not, and I repeat DO NOT look around or else I'll beat the crap out of you in the open. Understand?" He asks angrily.

"Fine." I say, and proceed to follow him.

We come up to a large house about the size of a giant gingerbread house I passed earlier. Sugarcube Corner I think it was? I don't know.

Black Night walks over to the door and knocks on it hard. "It's me, and I got the thing." He says, as he glances back at me.

"Ok, just a minute." A voice behind the door says. I can hear a clop clop clop coming towards the door.

The door slowly opens, and a head pops out.

"Oh, hey Black Night. Give me a second and I'll let you in." The pony says.

"Thanks Ruby." Black Night says.

I hear the sounds of multiple locks being unlocked. Guess you can't be too safe these days.

After twenty seconds of locks unlocking, the door swings open.

"Come on in." A Ruby says with a grin.

I walk slowly into the house with Black Night, and get a good look around.

This house is huge, it looks like it has seven rooms on the first floor. I wonder what the other three have.

"Please, sit." The Ruby says looking at me with a grin on her face.

I sit in the nearest chair, only to sink into it with comfort.

Wow, these chairs are really comfortable, more comfortable than any chair I've sat in back on Earth.

Black Night walks over and sits next to me.

"Want me to explain why I saved you from the prison?" He asks looking at me questionably.

"Sure." I say.

"Well," He starts out. "Here's the thing, I saved you because you're a new type of species that could have been killed because of our careless Princesses. We needed to see if you were friendly, and because you would've died if we didn't come. So, the situation for the Princesses are to find you and have you eliminated. Now there are five ponies in this town that are best friends with Princess Twilight Sparkle. Their names are Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and the one that you'll probably run into first, Rainbow Dash. All of these ponies, plus Princess Twilight, will hunt you down and try to bring you back to the Princesses Celestia and Luna. So, you can wander off whenever you like, but you must not be seen by any of the ponies. Oh, I forgot to describe each of the ponies appearances, Princess Twilight is a lavender pony who's a bookworm and lives in a tree. She is a unicorn and I'm sure you know what that means. Anyway, she has a purple mane with a slight hint of pink in the center. Then there's Applejack is a tan pony who lives on a farm called Sweet Apple Acres. S.A.A. For short. She has a blonde mane and loves to buck apples off trees. Then there's Pinkie Pie who is a party pony that basically defy's the laws of gravity and physics but she is a happy pony who hops around town mostly happy. She has a pink, puffy mane and a pink coat. Now we got Rarity who is probably the most beautiful pony you'll see in this town. She has a purple mane and a white coat. Then there's Fluttershy, probably the one you won't see as often, saying that 'shy' is in her name, so I wouldn't worry about her. But she has a pink mane that hangs over her eyes and a yellow coat. She also has wings. Then that leaves us with Rainbow Dash. She's the fastest pony in all of Equestria and can out-fly and outrun anypony, anytime, anywhere. She has a rainbow mane, cyan coat, and she usually flies around in the sky. So watch out."

My mind nearly explodes with all the things I have to remember.

"OK, cool. So, what now?" I ask, looking at the two.

"Well, I don't know, do whatever you want I guess." Ruby said.

I nod and just sit in the chair. Trying to decide what to do.

Sleep for now. But tomorrow, there's going to be a lot of fun.
