Brian's POV
I am currently 22 years old. I am seeing this new planet as we get closer. It looks a lot like our old planet like my mom showed me. She showed me a picture of humanity's old home. I was told we left that planet because the planet was being destroyed by something called a neutron star. Our old planet is long gone, but after 88 years of traveling according to my mom, we are here at last. Some of the original people, as I'm told, that got on board didn't make it to see this moment, mainly because of their age. I was born on the ship 22 years ago and I still see it as my home. The ship has 300,000 people on board it. My mom said that 200,000 people orginally got aboard the ship. As the years went by, we added 100,000 or more people to the ship through reproduction. When we get close enough to the new world, we will board the ships and get on the planet.
Though I am excited to see this new world for once, I am a bit nervous. I have been told by my teachers in school that we do not know what surprises our new home may hold. It could hold poisonus gases for all we know. When we were choosing our destination, we had to trust our insturments and go. We could not go back and fourth between planets as that would be a waste of valuable time. But I need to get on a shuttle to make it to the area of land that is giving us the best hope. I have always wondered if there is any intelligent lifeforms other than us.
Twilight's POV
I have been seeing something up in space last night. It looks kinda weird like it shouldn't be there. Nopony seems to be worried about it. I also wonder if there is any lifeform that is just as intelligent as us or more intelligent than us. Could this be a spaceship of somesort? I really do not know for the love of Celestia.
Soon, I get a knock at the door. "Who is it?" I ask. "Rainbow Dash," came the reply. "What is it now, Rainbow Dash?" I asked. "There seems to be some new lifeforms coming to our world. They seem to be coming in some sort of spacecraft or something." I looked around and saw the spaceship land in a field. "Wow, I would like to see this. This means intelligent life may exsist besides us!" I exclammed excitedly.
I am willing to see what is going on. They may need help or something. No creature from an alternate world has even come to Equestrian grounds. I see more spaceships landing peacefully in the fields but noone is coming out of the ships just yet. Maybe they are making final preperations to come out. I am prepared if they are indeed dangerous. They probaly shoudln't be but it is always good to be prepared than fall dead, right?
Brian's POV
We have finally landed on the new planet. We have not stepped out just yet because we need to be ready for unexpected things because we do not know what is out there. We will not hurt anyone unless they hurt us if there are any intelligent lifeforms on this planet according to the pilot of the shuttle I am in.
"Okay, everyone listen up," the pilot says, "We will be getting off now, stay at the ready just in case we are attacked okay?" Everyone on my shuttle nodded in agreement. The pilot then opened the door as we stepped foot onto the new world. We kept our weapons in bags because if they did not intend on hurting us, we didn't want to scare them.
When I stepped out, what I saw was like something out of a dream. I saw a purple horse with a horn and wings. I heard of this thing in childhood fairy tale stories, but I didn't think it was real. Something told me it was an alicorn. "Hello there," It greeted us, "Hello." I said. "My name is Twilight Sparkle" The alicorn replied. "That's a nice name, Twilight." I said. "Right now, we are coming to settle on this planet because we traveled here for 88 years, though I was born like 22 years ago." Twilight then responded "What made you come here?" She asked. "Well," I started, "I learnt in school that humanity came from a planet in another Solar System called Earth. It was a planet just like this one. But we were forced to leave it because of a doomsday object called a neutron star. We built a gigantic ark ship, 15 miles long by 2 miles wide, to get here. We grew our own food to survive and had plenty of water to survive the journey to this land. We have invented many technologies that have helped us develop. The neutron star destroyed Earth, so our survival gear we put on the ship is what we were gonna live with until we came here."
Twilight started to sense that we needed help "Well, i'm assuming you don't use our type of currency called bits," Twilight states. "Nope, we don't." I confirmed. "But will you help us? We really could use some help getting settled in, and there is a government here, right?" I asked. Twilight then responded "Well, based on your current situation, we will do everything we can to help you. And to answer your question do we have a government, yes we do have a government." Well, I guess this means our president who led us to the end of this journey can relax now. I then had one more question. "What type of government is it?" I asked. "A monarchy led by princesses instead of kings and queens like other kingdoms." She answered. "I am a princess as a matter of fact." Well, I guess a monarchy is better than nothing. The princess seems really nice. I hope everything goes well.
(This point forward, everything is from Brian's POV)
I looked around the area. I could not believe what I was seeing. Was I dreaming? Obviously not. This is real. Many of the buildings here seem to have walls built out of hay. Wait, hay as a building material? Weird. There are a lot of buildings made out of hay. This seems to be a town. Maybe I should ask Twilight what town this is.
"What is this town called?" I asked. "This is Ponyville, but the capital of Equestria is called Canterlot." Twilight said. "Well, how do you suppose you are going to help us?" would be the next question I ask. "Well, we will talk to Princess Celestia to see what she can do to help you get settled in." Twilight answered. "But I would like to warn you on one thing: some ponies tend to not get used to newcomers right away. They may see you as an evil species coming to take out the pony race or something like that. But how I see it, I can trust you guys. So anyways, lets talk to Celestia."
Twilight then leads me and our President to Princess Celestia.
