As I made my way to Ponyville, tripping frequently, I kept asking myself questions. Nothing special, just things like "How will you greet them?", "Where will you stay?, and "When you meet them, will you faint?" The answers were: Hoofshake, with Twilight (or Fluttershy, if the former disallows), and hopefully not.

Once Ponyville was in sight, it looked as glorious as the show down to the dirt. Seriously. The dirt looked good. And that's saying something. Anyways, as I walked (or trotted, rather) into Ponyville, miscellaneous ponies stared at me as I passed by. I don't see how this is unusual. I'm just a colt. Traveling through a town. Alone. With no friends. Okay, I see how this is strange. In the distance, the Treecastle was visible, giving off so many lens flares, that even LittleshyFiM would be proud. Wait, how can I see lens flares? Can't you only see those through cameras? Ehh, maybe I'm just too used to looking at it as a show.

Anyways, as I neared the Treecastle, I became more and more ecstatic. I'm going to meet the ACTUAL Twilight Sparkle! Oooh, this is so exciting! I thought. I locked onto the doors (which, by the way, were huge) and knocked. I wonder who's gonna greet me. A guard? Spike? Maybe another one of the Ma-- My thinking was cut off as the doors slowly opened. Behind it, sat the ever-so-anticlimactic Twilight, the one and only Princess of Friendship.

She looked around for a moment, before looking down. I let out a soft "eep" as she spotted me. I cleared my throat, and spoke.

"Hi there! My name is... oh yeah! My name is Star Gazer. I'm kinda lost, and have nowhere to go. Do you mind if I stay here?"

Twilight tilted her head. She responded by speaking... gibberish...? I thought that English was the universal language. For books and TV, anyways. I tried again. She spoke gibberish again. I figured that this was getting nowhere. I looked around for some sort of gesture. Suddenly, very over-conveniently, a family walked by, child included. I looked back at Twilight. I pointed at the family, then back to myself, then shook my head to try and signal that "I have no family."

It worked.

Nngh, sorry if this chapter made no sense. I'm just trying to hit the 1k word mark. Anyways, leave feedback in the comments!
