My Little Pony and Human: Friendship is Magicby the creedChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 1Chapter 1: Today's another normal day In a city called New York City, the roads roaring with cars and horns going off. The people walking down the streets, all day long, every day. Somewhere among this city, a boy who lives a normal life, going to school and doing homework. That sort of stuff. In a school called Walton High School, he was walking down a corridor to attend his next lesson History. He walked into his class room along with his classmates, as he took his seat his teacher came in. Mr. Philips "Alright settle down please" he took out a piece of paper and clicked his pen. "answer your names". A few names later, the boy's name was called out. "Joseph". Joseph cleared his throat "Here" Joseph was an average guy. He's 16 years old and has short dark brown hair and his eye's are green. He's mostly quiet around people. His grades are high and was doing well for himself, well, that's what the teachers think. Lately he's been miserable because of his family, his father is always on business trips but he loves his son and is happy for his grades. His mother is the opposite, she doesn't love him as much like his father, she tends to care more about his big sister. His sister whom he hates the most, she's a selfish, spoilt brat and cares little for Joe. "Okay class, take out your books and turn to page 109" Mr. Philips said, snapping Joe out of his day dreaming. He got out his history book and turned to page 109. The school day went by quickly, he walked back home. He entered his home and closed the door, not being greeted by his mother or sister. He saw his mother in the kitchen, smoking and watching TV and his sister talking to her friends on the phone, she is always on the phone and their phone bill is very high. Joe sighed and went upstairs to his room. Joe collapsed on the bed, exhausted from school, he rolled on his back and stared at the ceiling. Joe got up from his bed and went to his desk, he took a piece of paper and a pen a wrote to his father. Dear Dad. School was okay, just like normal, no troubles or anything like that. Just another normal day, Mum and Clare still take no notice of me. I hate it here Dad, I really do, I wished I could come with you. I can't stand it here without you. I wish I could just leave this place and me and you can go to another world. I hope I'll see you on your day off. Love Joseph. Joe went back to his bed. 'I'll post it when I go to school', Joe's eyes felt heavy, he slowly drifted off to sleep. Joe was dreaming, quite an unusual dream in fact. Joe was in a dark room sitting on a chair, Joe looked around, nothing but pitch black. Suddenly a light turned on above him, Joe jumped in shock. A voice came out from the shadows, it wasn't rough but it wasn't soft. "Do you wish to go to another place ?" the voice said, echoing. Joe looked franticly around in search of the voice whereabouts but failed. Joe stuttered. "W-what do y-you mean?". "I want a simple answer yes or no" the voice said, raising his voice in annoyance. Joe shrugged it off. "Well...sure. Just a dream anyway" Joe said confidently, thinking he was only dreaming. The voice chuckled. "very well...I do hope you can swim" and with that said, Joe felt a force on his chest as if he was being pushed. Joe felt his clothes waving as if the wind was blowing very fast and he felt like he was falling. He turned his head around to see he was indeed falling...from the sky. Joe panicked moving his head around to see the pitch black room was gone, Completely. Joe turned his body around only to see he was falling into a lake, he was getting closer by the second. Joe braced for impact. Joe kept falling until he splashed into the lake, the feeling was more of a smash then a splash. He held his breath and began to swim to the surface. Joe's head emerged from the waters, gasping for air and coughing. He looked around him to see he was not in central park lake but a lake he never seen before. Joe swam to the grassy shore and heaved his body out of the cold water, he was soaking wet. "wh-where am I!" Joe yelled aloud, hoping someone would come but no one came, he walked up the hill and saw something that made his heart skip a beat. He was not in New York City. He nearly passed out from utter shock, but he managed to hold himself together, he tried to think deep down this was just a dream and he would wake up. I tried pinching himself but he didn't wake up, he even slapped himself and all he got out of that was a red cheek. Joe decided to investigate the area to see if there were anybody in the area. He saw a dirt road leading to a town he never seen before, he speed walked to the town. While on his way to the town, he saw a red barn with a purple roof. Figuring it could save him the time and energy he went to the barn to see if the owner was there. Joe looked around the barn and saw hundreds or even thousands of apple trees, Joe never saw anything like this in his life, the owner must have made a fortune with this amount of apples. He walked up to the open doors. "Hello? Is anyone in here?" no reply, Joe sighed and decided to go to the city when he heard a gasp from behind. Joe slowly turned his head around to see if it was the owner, Joe's eyes widened in surprise and shock. It was a pony, a her coat color was a brilliant amber yellow, her mane was a very light amber yellow and her eyes were green. 'She wore...a cowboy's hat!' Joe thought, he slowly backed away from the pony in fear. The pony stepped back slowly as well, blinking at Joe as if the pony didn't know what he was. He had seen enough, he ran yelped and ran to the town as fast as he could. 'What was that? What was that? What was that thing!' Joe shouted in his head while still running to the town. 'I've never, ever! Seen a pony like that! I need help, I got to find someone before I go insane!' He found himself getting closer and closer to the town, Joe ran to what he thought was a town square but he stopped dead in his tracks. His felt like his heart stopped beating, his chest feeling cold and breathless, eyes widened, sweat constantly dripping from his face. There were more ponies, different sizes and colors, some with horns and others with various hairstyles and fashion. The whole square stared at Joseph, confused at first, others filled with fear. Joe looked around the square, it was nothing like he ever saw in his life. He heard whispers, Joe putted his hands on his head trying to contain the whole situation but failed. He passed out and collapsed, the ponies rushed to him and examined him. "what is he! Has he come to harm us!" a pony shouted out. A pony pushed through the crowd of ponies, a lavender coated pony with a horn gasped at the unknown species. Joe was sleeping like a rock until a noise from outside woke him up. He stirred and rubbed his eyes, he saw a white ceiling, Joe observed his surroundings. 'I must be at a hospital? What happened to me?'. Joe sat up while putting a hand on his face, then it hit him. 'oh no...the ponies' Suddenly the door opened, Joe glanced at the door and hoping this was all just a dream. A white pony with pink hair and light blue eyes, the pony was wearing a nurses hat, Joe saw a red cross on her side. The pony went up to Joe and looked at him. "How are you feeling?". Joe gasped, his face turned white "Y-Y-you ca-can -t-talk!" he stuttered. The voice was female, Joe nearly passed out again but managed to resist. The pony tilted her head sideways showing a confused face. "Why of course I can talk, everypony can talk around here. You're not from here are you? What are you? Where did you come from?" Joe relaxed and calmed down for a moment 'maybe she could help me? She doesn't look like she would harm me' Joe thought but thinking he must keep his guard up. "I'm a hu-" Joe was cut off by a knock on the door, the nurse walked over to the door and opened it. "Twilight, perfect timing, he just woke up but he needs his rest so please don't be too long" the nurse said to someone. She walked out of the room but not without saying a few words to Joe "I'll be right back, please don't leave your room" Joe nodded nervously. "o-okay" He saw a purple pony with a horn on it's head, a unicorn, but she had a very unique hair style that humans would have. Her mane was Dark blue, purple strips and a pink strip, she had violet colored eyes. A creature was riding on her, to Joe it looked like...a dragon! A little purple scale and green spiked dragon with green eyes. The unicorn walked over to the side of Joe's bed and examined him a little. "Hello, My Name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend Spike. We saw you collapsed on ground, I rushed over to see and you were out cold" Joe looked down and fiddled with his fingers. "W-where am I?" he said nervously. "You're in Equestria, a land of magic with Ponies and Dragons. Co-Ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, right now you're in Ponyville" Joe putted his hands on his head, taking in what he thought was a dream. "Am...Am I really in this world? Is it a dream?" he asked Twilight. Twilight lowered her head and shook it. "I'm so sorry, but I don't know how or why" she said sadly. Joseph looked out of the window thinking about what will happen to him and what should he do. He saw Twilight looking at the clock and gasped. "I'm sorry but Me and Spike have to go back home, but I'll come back to see you tomorrow with my friends. Bye!" "See ya later dude!" The little dragon said before they left Joe. Joe chuckled a bit at spike, the accent reminds him of the kids in New York City trying to be cool. Joseph rested his head on the pillow. 'What the heck is going on?' he thought as his eye's felt heavy and he drifted off to sleep. Chapter 2Chapter 2: Welcome to Ponyville part 1 Back on Earth, somewhere around the world is a country called Korea, separated into two. The first half is called North Korea and the other is South Korea in which he is in, not all humans are rainbow and sunshine. Some think of power, wealth and greed, this makes a man selfish in his dark ways. Some think of Peace, friendship and love, this makes a man a symbol of Rejoice. Why is this Earth so complex ? Why is the humans so different ? What made us become so different from any other race ? Who knows, do you know ? A man grunted and switched off a Television and let out a frustrated moan. 'Ridicules programs, as if anyone would listen to this' he thought. The man looked around his office, it was a neat and tidy office but bland. It was only temporary because he was always on the move, his eye's shifted to a picture frame of him and his son. He smiled warmly, his office phone rang and he picked up the phone. "Hello ?" "Good evening, your meeting will start shortly" a female Korean said in an English Korean accent. "Thank you" the man said and placed the phone down and rubbed his eyes. 'When I get a week off, I'm coming to see you...Joseph' Joseph was sleeping like a rock, snoring lightly. It was morning in Ponyville, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue with a few clouds. The ponies woke up to the morning breeze starting with their daily lives. Nurse Redheart went to check up on Joseph, she pushed a cart with Joe's breakfast. She opened the door and went inside. "Good morning, I brought you your break-" she said but stopped at the sight of Joe sleeping, snoring lightly and he was talking in his sleep. "Zzz...Careful with that hammer...zzZ". Nurse Redheart giggled at this 'its amazing what everypony can dream about' she thought. She went to Joe's side of the bed and lifted her hooves gently on his body and shook him lightly. "Excuse Sir, it's time to wake up" Joe's eyes slowly opened, he looked around the room, and saw the White pony nurse. He was startled but only for a second, he sat up straight and face Nurse Redheart. "G-Good morning Nurse". Nurse Redheart smiled warmly at Joe, Joe couldn't help but smile as well while blushing a bit. "I brought you your breakfast" Nurse Redheart said as she placed a tray on Joe's bed gently. The breakfast was a bowl of porridge that had a bit of steam coming up and a glass of orange Juice. "I added a bit of sugar for you if that's okay" Joe nodded "Thank you very much" he took the spoon and lifted some porridge and blew lightly, he putted the spoon in his mouth and swallowed the porridge. Joe's eye's went wide. Nurse Redheart started to panic a little. "Oh no! Is it too hot ?" she asked him. Joseph smiled and ate more of the porridge. The Nurse was taken aback at the humans sudden shocked face to eating with great joy. Joe putted the spoon in the bowl and drank the orange juice. "That was absolutely delicious, it was the best thing I've had in years. Thank you" Joe said cheerfully with a big smile. Nurse Redheart lifted her right hoof in shock but smiled. "w-why thank you very much, I'm so pleased that you liked it" she said. A knock came from the door, the nurse went over to the door and opened it. "Oh my, welcome everyone, please come in". A group of ponies walked into the room including Twilight Sparkle, Nurse Redheart went out of the room. Joe was surprised on how many came with Twilight, he saw their looks, frightened. Twilight went up to Joe's bed side. "Hello, how are you feeling?" "I'm feeling great thank you" Joseph said making Twilight sigh in relief. "That's good news, I was thinking something bad would have happened" Suddenly a Pink Pony was jumping around the room acting very hyper. "ooh! What is he! Does he like party's ?" she said loudly, Joe blinked in response. "Pinkie Pie! Not right now!" Twilight said trying to calm the hyperactive pony, Joe smirked at the Pink Ponies behavior but covered his mouth with his hand. "Sorry about that, Let me introduce you to my friends, this here is Pinkie Pie" Twilight pointed her Hoof at her. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie and after you come out we're going to have a welcome party just for you!" Pinkie Pie yelled whilst jumping up and down. Pinkie Pie is a Pink coated Pony with a Puffy Rose magenta mane and her eye's are a Bluish cyan. "And this is Rainbow Dash" Twilight said. Joe was gob smacked at Rainbow Dashes appearance, she was a Pegasus with wings, her coat was a Pale cyan and her mane was of the colors of the rainbow. Brilliant Red, Brilliant Orange, Light Yellow, Moderate Green, Strong Cyan and Moderate Green. Her tail shown the same colors as well. Her eyes were a Strong rose color. "That's me! The fastest Pegasus in all of Equstria!" Rainbow Dash said proudly, her voice makes her a tomboyish Pony. Joe didn't say anything because of the amazing colors. Rainbow Dash smirked at Joe's priceless face. Twilight giggled "Okay Rainbow Dash remember he's not from this world and we have a lot to explain to him. Anyway, that's Rarity" "Hello Dear, I want to let you know that your clothes you wore are cleaned and I brought them with me in my bag, and I made that hospital dress your wearing now" Rarity said in posh accent like the Britons in the old days back on Earth. Her coat was a pure white and her mane was Indigo and Purple to Dark Violet and her eyes were Azure color. Her horn glowed and the bags top came off and his clothes floated to him. Joseph gasped and backed up as far as he could. Rarity placed the clothes on his bed and had look of concern. "Oh my, I was not going to hurt you dear, I'm so sorry for scaring you" Joe waved it off. "It's alright, It was just so sudden" an awkward silence passed by for what it seemed like hours. Twilight then broke the mood. "Okay...Now Let me introduce you to Fluttershy" Fluttershy glanced back and forth at Joe, he knew what she was thinking, she didn't trust him fully and was very shy, hence the name. "H-hello" she whispered. Joe nodded, understanding her shyness. She too was a Pegasus . Her coat was a pale amber Yellow, her mane was pink and she had strong Cyan colored eyes. Twilight looked back and forth at Joe and Fluttershy as if they were mind linking. She shook it off and pointed her hoof to the last Pony. "And that's Applejack". Joseph looked to see Applejack and gasped, pointing at her. "Its-Its you! The Pony with the cowboy hat at the barn!" he yelled. All eyes were on Applejack, she made a nervous laugh. "Eyup, That's me". Rainbow Dash butted in. "Applejack told us about you but we couldn't understand what she was trying to describe". Applejack playfully placed her head on Rainbow Dashes and pushed. "Hold on there, I was tryin mah best!" Twilight giggled "Alright girls settle down". Joseph watched them, he felt a warm feeling inside 'it must be great to have friends'. "So, where did you come from? What's your name?" Rainbow Dash asked. Joe looked at her and the rest, wondering where to start. "Well, My name is Joseph Brooklyn and some people call me Joe, you can call me Joseph or Joe if you like. I'm a male, 16 years old and I attend School. I'm a human from Earth and live in a country called America, I'm in the New York state and live in New York City." Everypony was amazed by the information. Pinkie Pie bounced around. "WOW! We have a connection! Your from this Earth and I'm a Earth Pony!". Joe looked at Twilight with a confused look and raising an eyebrow. Twilight smiled nervously "I'll explain about the Pony races later but right now we need to find you a place to live". Joseph didn't think about that, he rubbed his chin in thought, however, Twilight had an offer. "You can stay at my house for awhile" Joe looked at her with a concerned look. "are you sure? I don't want to be a burden to you". "Of course I'm sure, and you won't be a burden." Twilight reassuringly said with a smile, he also returned the smile. "Thank you so much". Then Twilight gasped and clapped her hooves together. "Oh I know! Let's have a sleep over at mine tonight!" she said like a school girl. Pinkie Pie also jumped around like crazy. "YAY! LET'S HAVE A PARTY!" and all the ponies talked about the sleep over. Joe however sat quietly not wanting to ruin their moment. He sighed sadly 'why? Why are they being so nice to me, a stranger from another world. No one is like this back at home but these 'ponies' are wanting to help me as if they are already my friends. But I don't have any friends, none at all, except for Dad...' Applejack's face was very close to Joe's face. "Are ya alright sugercube? Seem to be spacin out, got somethin on yer mind?". Joe jumped at Applejack's face being very close but he laughed nervously and scratched his head. "Oh..n-no I'm okay, thanks for asking". He saw the look on her face that she didn't seem to buy it but she nodded. Nurse Redheart came back. "Well it's seems your fine, you may leave whenever your ready". Joe slowly got out of bed, his bare feet touching the cold floor that sent shivers down his spine. He stood up, remembering his balance. The Ponies watched in awe as if he was a giant from Jack and the bean stalk. "Whoooa! Amazing how you can walk on two hooves!" Rainbow Dash commented. Twilight facehoofed. "Rainbow Dash he's not one of us, it's not called hooves for him it's called...called...umm...Joe, what are they called in your world" she asked sheepishly. Joe blinked at her question. "Feet?". Twilight then nodded "Feet! Yes, feet", everyone or everypony to him laughed but he didn't understand why. He was about to take off his hospital dress until he remembered his room was full of girls. He blushed lobster red and spoke out nervously. "Urr...umm...I-I can't get dressed if your in here" The gang of ponies faces were full of confusion. "Why not?" asked Twilight. Joe blushed some more "I'm a guy and your girls...you know...Umm..." Rarity made a small gasp "Girls, let's give Joseph some privacy. Come out whenever you're ready darling". Joe nodded "Thanks Rarity". Pinkie Pie bounced out of the room humming a tune of some sorts while the others galloped out. Joe sighed in relief, he took off his hospital dress and picked his T-shirt up. It was a Yellow and the shoulder parts were black (Like Cole's shirt from inFamous 2) and his trousers were black with two white stripes on both left and right sides. He putted them on and got his white socks on, he grabbed his shoe's that were white with blue strips, Joseph putted his feet on the shoes and tied each one. He went up to a mirror and looked at his face. 'Nothing changed about my face thank goodness' he thought and glanced to the door 'What am I getting myself into? I'm going to be living with talking ponies and that can use magic. I think I'm going crazy'. He walked to the door and slowly opened it, he was greeted by Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm. "HELLO JOE! NICE CLOTHES YOU HAVE!" she yelled cheerfully. Joe smiled "Thank you". Applejack suddenly walked away. "Sorry folks but I gotta get back to work, Nice meetin ya Joe, see y'all later.". Fluttershy hovered away as well. "Umm...I have to go too, I must feed the animals. Goodbye". "Goodness! I'm late on my work! I must be off, I would like to see you soon for your clothes in the future Joseph! Goodbye Darling!" Rarity said as she galloped away. Rainbow hovered in front of Joe. "You better not do anything funny with Twilight Mister! Or I'll take you down in 5 seconds flat!" and with that, she flew off rather fast. Pinkie Pie jumped and stopped mid air, she was shaking and made a loud gasp. "Oh no! I need to bake the cakes! Bake the cupcakes and make the milkshakes! Bye Bye Joe! See you later!" and goddess knows how she flew off. Joseph stood still and silently in the middle of the hall way with Twilight by his side, his eye twitched and mouth wide open. "Good Bye? I guess?" The little unicorn made a chuckle. "Don't worry, you'll get use to it. C'mon I'll show you around Ponyville" Twilight said with amusement. Joe walked with Twilight out of the hospital but not before seeing Nurse Redheart before he left. "Nurse, I really want to thank you for everything you've done for me when I'm a foreign species" Nurse Redheart nodded "I'll always be here to help you if your sick or injured Mr. Brooklyn. Take care of yourself now". He smiled gracefully at her and walked out with Twilight. Chapter 3Chapter 3: Welcome to Ponyville part 2 After about an a few hours of exploration around Ponyville, Twilight decided they should head back to her house. While exploring around Ponyville, he saw lot's of stares and concerns. Most of them welcomed him with open arms and some didn't care. A lot of them asked him questions in which he did his best to answer them all. Twilight managed to get him out of the crowds of Ponies. The sun was almost down, they arrived at Twilight's house. Joe was confused "You live in a tree house?". Twilight smiled "Well, it may look like that from the outside but on the inside it's the Local Library and Me and Spike's home." She went up to the door and gestured her hoof at the door. "After you" Joseph walked up to the door and opened it, he saw the room was dark and couldn't see a thing. He went inside with Twilight following him from behind "Twilight, where's the light switch?" Twilight closed the door "It's coming on...now!" she suddenly yelled. The lights turned on and Joe was greeted by a huge "SURPRISE!". He jumped in the air and saw many ponies including Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. He looked around in amazement, 'so many, so big...for me?'. Pinkie Pie went up to him with a huge grin on her face "Hi Joe! I made this party just for you!". "But...why?" he asked her making Pinkie Pie make a face as if he said a really stupid question "This is a welcome party silly!" she laughed. Joe looked at everpony as they smiled at him, he felt something he hasn't felt in a long time. He was Happy. A tear dropped from his eye following a stream of tears running down his face. Everypony shown concern to him, Pinkie Pie turned sad "Are you okay Joe? Why are you crying?". Joe noticed his tears and wiped them away "N-No, it's nothing. I have dust in my eyes." He smiled "Thank you so much, this is the best party In anyone has given me in my life" After about an hour of partying, Joe had a fantastic time, he was greeting warmly by the ponies and had some good food and drinks. Turns out that everyone left so suddenly at the hospital was not only to get back to their work but to get ready for the Party. Twilight knew all along that they were getting ready for him. But shortly after the ponies left saying their goodbyes to Joseph and hope he will happy here until he returns home. All who left left was Joseph, Spike and the six Mane. "Alright everypony! Let's get ready to sleep!" Twilight squeaked at the end, clapping her hooves together. "Twilight, what about the mess?" Joe pointed out. Twilight realized how messy it was, she flopped her ears down and laughed nervously "Oh yeah, that" "Don't worry I'll clean it up" Spike said coming from behind the group. Joe noticed the little dragon and knelt down to him "You Spike am I right?" and he offered a hand shake. Spike smiled and shook his hand "Yeah! You remembered! Your name is...Joseph Brooklyn?". Joe nodded "That's right" The girls giggled at them, it seems like they are best friends already. Joe looked around "Are you sure you can clean this all on your own Spike?" Spike nodded "Yeah, it's gonna be a long night but hey, that's what I do!" he said proudly. Joe stood up "Let me help you". Spike looked shocked "What? I can do it myself dude, you need to sleep". Joseph shook his head "I'm going to help you, the quicker we can do this the faster we can go to sleep. Sleeps good right?". Spike putted a hand on his chin, pondering his words "Well, I do want to sleep. And with you, a big guy, we can finish this in no time. But are you sure you want to help me?" Joe nodded "Sure I'm sure". Spike then punched his fist in the air "Alright then! Let's do this!". Twilight however stepped forward. "Hey hang on! We'll help you!" She offered but the Boy's disliked the offer "Thanks guys but I think me and Joe can do it." Twilight moved her hooves back and forth a bit looking guilty of them having to clean everyone's mess. "Well...okay, but please don't stay cleaning this for too long" "Don't worry Twilight, we'll be fine" Spike said. Twilight nodded and went up with the girls and arranged their bed plans. Spike and Joe looked at each other and grinned. Spike spoke up "Why are we grinning?" he asked to Joe but his answer was the same in Spike's mind "To be honest, I don't know". The boys cleaned the room and thrown away the rubbish. Joe cleaned the dishes while Spike dried them. Spike and Joe were becoming close friends. They got some trays with biscuits and drinks for them and the girls. "Feels like we're servants huh?" Spike joked. Joseph had an idea and whispered to Spike. They went up and saw the six mane in a circle, talking about what any normal girl would with others. Twilight heard them and turned to see them "Spike, Joe, oh! You brought us Refreshments, thank you so much". They placed their refreshments down while Joe held his and Spikes refreshments. "No problem" Spike said and he and Joe bowed "Your Majesty" they both said. Twilight's eyes went wide and spurted random word out "I-Majesty-w-what?". Joe and Spike walked over to Joe's bed which was not that far away from them. They both sniggered as they sat down, leaving the girls to look at each other but they also giggled. Twilight covered her mouth with her Hoof 'Those silly two'. It was midnight. Everypony and Dragon was fast asleep. Except for mankind, Joseph couldn't sleep. He tossed and he turned in his bed on the floor but he just could not sleep. A lot was on his mind. What would happen if he didn't attend school back on Earth, what would his father do if he found out he was missing. Joe sat up from the bed and putted a hand on his forehead, he stared at the sleeping ponies and the Dragon next to him. He needed some fresh air, Joe crept out of his bed quietly and putted his shoes on and proceeded to exit the house quietly. He got to the front door and opened it slowly and closed it slowly as he was outside. Joseph took a breath of the cool fresh night air, he looked at the night time sky and saw that the stars were out as well as half a moon. It was something Joe could never quite see normally in New York City. It was never quiet, always noisy, most of the people are cruel. But not in Ponyville, it was the place that Joe always wanted to live in, if only his father was with him and they could have a happy life. He found himself in the town square, nopony was here, just a quiet and peaceful night. He sat down on the steps of the Tower that was in the middle of the square. He heard something coming up to him, he lifted his head up to see who it was and it was Twilight Sparkle. She held a very concerned face. "Joseph, why are you out here this late? What's wrong?" He sighed "Twilight, I don't know what to think. I wonder what's happening right now back at home, what will my school do about my absence, what will my father do when he knows I'm gone". Twilight sighed also and sat next to him "I'm sorry about that Joe. But I promise to try and get you home. That's what friends do." Joe looked at her when she said 'friends' "A-Are we friends? Because I never had any friends back home". Twilight's eyes widens "What! How come?" He looked away "I don't know why, everyone seems to think of me as a virus and hardly notices me. I get bullied for being a bookworm and being quiet all the time." Twilight felt sorry for him, he was like her in a way. She started off with no friends and thought she didn't need any to stop Nightmare Moon but the found out friendship is important. She defeated Nightmare moon along with her new friends. Twilight putted a hoof on Joe's shoulder and smiled "You have lot's of friends already Joseph. Me, Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. You are not alone" Joe looked at Twilight with tears in his eyes. Yes, she was right, he now had friends. They don't even know who or what he was but they quickly treated him as an equal. He felt that he belonged to this world. He made a smile "Thank you Twilight, Thank you." Chapter 4Chapter 4: A new day of a new life What is the difference between a Man and an Animal? The man is in control and has power, the animal is has no power or control. What is the difference? The man may love the creatures of our world but another man may hate the creatures of our world. A man has a dog and they create a bond of loyalty and friendship, the dog is know for man's best friend. Another man has a dog, he treats the dog with hate and abuse, they share the power of hatred, the dog feels powerless, cries and begs for mercy. A man shouldn't choose an animals fate, an animal should choose their fate. Man should be punished by the gods and animals blessed by the goddesses. What is the difference between us and animals? ________________________________________ Joseph woke up sweating bullets, he clenched his shirt and breathing heavily. He looked around the room and sighed in relief. It wasn't a dream, it was a memory, A man on the television always discussed topics that were strange, scary but sometimes interesting. No one knows or who he is, he calls himself 'The Man'. The Man gives Joe the creeps. Joe looked around the room, he went out last night to ponder what would happen when he wasn't there but Twilight followed him when he left and comforted him, they went back together with Joe filled with Joy, he has friends. He saw the six ponies sleeping soundly, he saw spike snoring loudly next to him. Joseph smiled and got up out of bed and stretched his arms, he found his shoes near his bed and put them on and tied them. Spike lifted his head moaning in frustration of to whatever disturbed his slumber. "Aww man...who woke me up?" Spike moaned and saw Joe. Joe looked at him with an apologetic look "S-Sorry Spike, I didn't mean to wake you up" Spike got up and ran up to him "N-No! You didn't wake me up! I-uh...I had to get to do my choirs! Yeah!" "Choirs?" Joe asked blankly. Spike scratched behind his head "Yeah well, Twilight needs some help so I usually get the books and clean up. I'm her number 1 assistant!" he said proudly. Joseph stared down at Spike 'He may be a small dragon but he's got a big heart' he thought of Spike. "Hey Joe, think you could help me with the breakfast, y'know, I got choirs to do and the breakfast needs to made. That is if you can cook?" Spike said. Joe nodded. "I can cook good meals. But are you sure you want me to cook?" Joe asked his new friend. Not wanting him to feel as if he was taking Spike's job. "Sure I'm sure! After I done my choirs I'll help you out!" Spike said as he was sorting out books on a ladder "If you need anything it'll all be in the kitchen" Joe walk to the cupboards and opened the cupboards and then the fridge. He moved his lips sideways to think what he would make. A flash bulb appeared above his head but he looked up to see Spike changing the light. Spike smiled nervously and climbed down. Joe shook his head and took out all the things he needed. Spike noticed Joseph was getting ready "So, what'cha making?". Joseph got a bowl and poured some flour in the bowl and cracked an egg, the yolk dropped into the flour and he whisked it together "Pancakes". Applejack woke up, she blinked a few times to regain her sight and got up and stretched "That was ah mighty fine night! Rise an shine girls!". Pinkie Pie shot up and jumped up and down "YAY! Its Morning! Breakfast time! Breakfast time!". Rarity woke up and immediately saw her messy hair "Oh. My. GOSH! Where is the the hair brush?" she franticly searched for the nearest hairbrush. Rainbow Dash got up and stretched her legs out "Alright! Time for me to get ready for my latest and most awesome new move!" "Hold on Rainbow Dash you can't do that without an empty stomach. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Twilight said as she hot out of her bed and walked over to Rarity who had finish brushing her hair. "Good morning Twilight dear, let me brush your hair" Rarity offered. Twilight nodded "Thanks Rarity". Fluttershy woke up and made a little yawn. "G-Good morning everypony." Fluttershy then sniffs and smells something delicious "What is that lovely smell?" The others also sniffed, Pinkie Pie's eye's sparkled "Mmm! Breakfast time! Who cooking?". Twilight looked over to where Joe and Spike were sleeping but they weren't there. She raised a brow "Only two boys are possible". The six ponies went downstairs, they stopped mid way and saw some plates on the floor with what looked like pancakes, six of them. They gasped and smiled, they saw Joseph and Spike making their own pancakes. "Ok...now just put it on the plate...great! You made your own pancake!" Joe said as he patted Spike's back gently and carefully so he avoids his spikes. Spike grabbed his plate. Joe grabbed his plate and putted some Syrup and butter on top of his and Spike's. He noticed the girls on the stairs and smiled "G-good morning guys, we made you breakfast." Applejack went downstairs with the others following "Good Mornin! Well ah'll be, you an Spike made us all breakfast." Joe blushed "It was nothing, Spike wanted some help and I was happy to make some, sorry if I used up all your ingrediants Twilight" he said rubbing his neck. Twilight looked at the two and smiled "Oh you two, Thank you". After about a few minutes of eating their breakfast, Rarity decided to ask Joe a question "So Joseph, what is this 'New York City' you live in like?" Joe putted his plate down and placed crossed his arms "Well, It's an extremely huge city. Millions of people live there and everything is busy. New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world, My planet called Earth if you remembered." Rarity's eyes sparkled 'oh wow! Just imagine! Millions would see MY fashion!' she thought. Joseph blinked a few times. Pinkie Pie jumped in "Do you have parties!" she shouted. "Yes, we have have parties on special occasions though but to be honest I prefer yours" Joe's words made Pinkie Pie bounced with Joy. Fluttershy nervously asked a question "Urm...do you have a family?" she whispered. Joe looked down at his feet and made a sad smile "Yes, I do. But it's complicated". Twilight stepped in front of him "Joe, you can tell us anything, after all we are your friends". He was quiet and hesitant, stood up and walked to a window, turning his back on them "I have a Mother and Older Sister. I hate them" he said bitterly making everypony in the the wince at he sudden change of personality. But he he turned his head to them with tears coming down his eyes. "I have a father whom I love deeply but he's always on business trips but he writes to me. I miss him so much and now he won't be able to see me anymore" Joseph wiped his tears away, Twilight went up to him. "Joseph Brooklyn, I made a promise to you and I'm going to try my best to get you home." She reassured him. He nodded. 10 minutes later The ponies comforted Joe and he explained to them all about his life of how he has no friends but he's a great student at his school. The girls and dragon said they will always be friends no matter what. They said they had to leave but they will see him around. Twilight was talking to Joe about herself and all about the History of Equstria, Princess Celestia and Luna, Spike and how she found friendship and defeated Nightmare Moon. Joe was amazed by her and the others abilities, she was very powerful. She also explained that their cutie marks, They are obtained when ponies discover a unique characteristic that sets themselves apart from others. Twilight also mentioned that magic is unable to make a cutie mark appear, explaining that the mark will only appear in due course. Twilight just remembered that Rarity said that she wanted to see Joe today while they were eating "Joe, Rarity said she wanted to see you today" Joe's head perked up "Sure, can't wait to see her place" he said as he stood up and brushed himself off. Twilight got her bag and Spike hopped on her back "I'll take you to her place just in case you've forgotten, I got to see somepony about a missing book." Spike chuckled "Good luck with that Twilight, Me and Joe will see..." Just before Spike could finish what he was saying Twilight cut him off. "Not so fast mister! Rarity needs to see him and work on her measurements". She said while smirking. Spike crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks, Joe couldn't help but snigger. They got to Rarity's house, Carousel Boutique. Rarity's boutique, in which she makes dresses for customers and sometimes for her friends, also doubles as her home. Joseph was impressed to see further up close. Twilight walked to the door, made a three knocks and walked in. "Rarity! I brought Joe!" Twilight called out. Joe looked around the room, The room is stocked with materials and supplies such as mirrors, dressform mannequins. The had a passion for fashion as some girls would say back on earth. He saw Rarity using her horn to lift scissors and cut some cloth. She heard Twilights voice and putted the scissors down and took her glasses off, she trotted to the three. "Why hello Twilight, Spike and Joseph Dear. I am so glad that you came Joseph, I am sure Twilight told you why your here. I want to do some measurements so I can make clothes for you, you would look ridicules wearing the same clothes all over again and to be quite fair, a bit smelly" she said making Joe's eyebrow twitch. Spike's eyes turned into heart shapes, he drooled and clasped his hands together "Oh Rarity, she's the most beautiful Pony in all of Eqestria!" Twilight rolled her eyes in annoyance "C'mon! We got a pony to see. Go easy with him Raity, after all he is still new here". Rarity nodded "Of course dear". Twilight turned to the door and galloped out, Spike widened his eyes "Wha-? Hey Wait! Noooo!" he screamed but Twilight used her magic and closed the door. Joseph shifted nervously, he was alone with Rarity and had no idea what was coming next. Rarity walked up to Joe, she inspected him by walking around him, she looked up to his face. "Oh My, You really need a trim for your hair Joseph" she said, almost demanding. Joe stuttered "W-w-what! But you said y-you wanted to measure my clothes!" Rarity shook her head "Darling, Your hair is simply a mess, it's badly cutted and your hair is greasy. Who ever cut your hair?". He looked down, remembering the thought of his hair cut "Me...I didn't have much money on me and the job I was doing could only pay for my food and drinks. So I cut it myself, I wouldn't dare ask My mother or sister". The Pony lifted her hoof "I...I see, I am terribly sorry about that Joseph, You...did your best" she reassured. Joe waved it off "It's okay...you...you can cut my hair if you still want to" This made Rarity's eyes sparkle. "Yes!" she screamed with joy, her horn glowed which made a stools float over to Joe, she putted it down next to him "Sit down please dear". He slowly took his seat, he placed his hands on his lap, Rarity was collecting her materials while giving some things to her white cat. 'Poor kitty' Joseph thought. Rarity had her glasses back on, she used her magic and floated the scissors to his hair, the scissors snipped his hair off as they fell to the ground. She was humming a tune whilst cutting, Joe looked at her when she came into his view. He thought she had a incredible talent for this kind of thing, she noticed he was staring at her. Rarity stopped cutting "Is something wrong Joseph?". He shook his head "No not really, I'm just amazed how talented you are. Not many people in my world are like you". Rarity smiled "I am flattered, thank you very much". She finished cutting his hair and brought Joe to clean his hair and dry it off. When he was finished drying his hair, Rarity stood back to admire her work. "That is looking much better, now let's measure you so I can make your clothes for the future, you should have a wonderfully colourful shirt. No, No, you need to choose, yes choose your own colour." Rarity said while thinking of ways to create new clothes for a Human but she got carried away, she gasped and giggled "Oh my, I should be measuring you now". Joe was lifting his arms, turning and saying his hight and shoe number which Rarity found fascinating. She finished her measuring and wrote them down in a book, she looked back and forth to make sure her work is spot on. "Well I think that should do for now, thank you for coming Joseph" He sighed sadly "No, Thank you Rarity. But I don't have any money to pay you for all this..." he was stopped mid way when Rarity spoke up to him raising her hoof to stop him talking. "You have already paid me with your uniqueness, I am now creating something new that's out of my experience. In the future you will need to pay me Dear but for now when you get your new clothes you do not need to pay, which colour would you like your Shirt and Trousers to be?" Joseph thought for awhile "Well, could my shirt be white and my trousers like the ones I'm wearing now?" he asked. Rarity puffed her cheeks "White shirt and trousers the same? My goodness you need more colour dear! Brighten yourself up!" She sighed "Very well" Joe grinned and shook his head 'You can't beat a fashioner when it comes to appearance and that's Rarity, I just hope I can choose from now on but somehow...that won't be the case' he thought while sweating nervously. Just then, A knock on the door was heard as the door opened to reveal a purple unicorn Twilight Sparkle. Spike wasn't on her back, Joe thought she sent him home to do some choirs if Spike told him right. Twilight walked in while looking at the boy's new hair cut "Wow, that's a nice hair cut Joe" she commented which made him blush. "T-Thank you" he replied. "Joe, remember when I told you about Princess Celestia who co-rules Equestria?" Twilight asked. He nodded "Yeah, why?" "I've been writing to Princess Celestia about you and she said that she would very interested to meet you face to face" Twilight said. An awkward silence came, it felt like it lasted for hours, Joseph stood very still as his face was emotionless, he walked to a window and placed a hand on the wall. "Princess Celestia is coming?" he said. Twilight nodded "Yes" "To see me?" he asked. Twilight was starting to feel nervous "Um...Yes" "The co-ruler of your of Equestria?" Joe asked Twilight once more. "Y-Yes she is coming to see you as well as the residents of Ponyville" Twilight said whie making circles with her right hoof. Joe was silent for a minute and he suddenly ran out the door "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?" he yelled as he ran through Ponyville. Twilight and Rarity were shocked at his outburst, they looked at each other "What in the world?..." Rarity manged to speak out. Twilight ran out with Rarity following her "I have no idea but we've got to find him before Princess Celestia arrives!" Twilight said as she and Rarity went to find their friends. ________________________________________ Joseph ran through Ponyville as fast as Rainbow Dash can fly, he panted as his legs got heavy, he gained closer to his temporary home at Twilight's. He ran to the door and barged in with a loud slam as his closed the door. Spike who was stacking some books on a ladder made a surprised yelp, he lost his balance which made him fall but Joe ran up to him and caught him. Joe's eyes are widened with sweat falling down from his face, he made a big gasp for air and breathed out "Spike! The Princess is coming! what am I going to do?" he screamed. Spike pulled a confused face "Whoa! Whoa! Calm down dude! What's the big deal?" Joe placed Spike on the floor gently "The Princess of Equestria is coming to see me! I don't know what to do!" he yelled while grabbing his head and walking to the kitchen to have a drink. Spike sighed as he jogged to Joe who was gulping down a glass of milk "Joe, Princess Celestia isn't gonna do anything bad to you as long as you don't mean harm to her" Joe placed the glass on the table "I know that Spike it's just what will she think of me? I've never met anyone who is royalty, what if she thinks I'm acting rude when I don't know if I am?" Spike shook his head sideways "C'mon! She won't think that, just be yourself, Trust me, she's a great Princess and you'll love as much as we do" Joseph didn't speak for a second until he turned his head to meet Spike "Well...if you say so, Thank you Spike" Spike nodded "By the way Joe, how did you catch me? That was like Totally fast reflexes!" Spike's comment also amazed Joe himself, he look up to the ladder and back at the door 'he's right, He was pretty high and I was bit far, he would have fallen and I was catching my breath. I couldn't have caught him but somehow I did.' Joe shrugged in response "I think it was just a lucky reaction. Well we better get this place cleaned up!" Spike nodded "Okay!" ________________________________________ Twilight ran all over Ponyville, high and low, every pony but they could only tell his ran as if his life was depending on it. Twilight asked her friends to help search for Joe. Applejack came up to Twilight "What in tarnation happened Twilight?" "All I said to Joe was that Princess Celestia is coming to see him, he asked me questions to see if I was telling the truth. I said yes to everything he said and he ran out while yelled 'What am I going to do' ". Fluttershy appeared from behind them, she spoke in her soft and quiet voice "Maybe...maybe he never met somepony like Princess Celestia?" Applejack nodded "That's one thing to go on, but where the hay is he?" Rainbow Dash Flew down to the three ponies "I haven't seen him, maybe he did a runner!" Applejack stomped her hoof down "Now hold on there! Just because he ain't no pony doesn't mean he'd run, besides where could he go?" Rainbow Dash huffed "I was only saying! Jeez!" she flew off to search for Joe again. Rarity and Pinkie Pie came up to them "I have not seen him anywhere Twilight" Rarity said making Twilight lower her ears. "Oh no, Princess Celestia will be here any second now. Where could he be?" Twilight said as she walked around in circles. Pinkie Pie hopped around her friends "Oh Twilight, he didn't run away from here he just went somewhere!" Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity looked at Pinkie Pie "What? Where is he?" they yelled. Pinkie Pie giggled "He's at your-OH LOOK! PRINCESS CELESTIA!" She yelled as she pointed her hoof. Twilight and the others turned around to see a Tall Winged Unicorn appeared behind them, It was Princess Celestia. They bowed to her. "Hello everpony, it's lovely to see you all here. How is everything?" Princess Celestia asked, her voice is soothing and caring. Twilight raised her head up to meet her eyes "Everything is fine Princess Celestia!" she said happily, mostly because Celestia is here. Princess Celestia looked around her suroundings "And how is Mr. Brooklyn doing in Ponyville?" she asked. The ponies shifted uncomfortably except Pinkie Pie "Well, He panicked when I told him you were coming to see him so he ran out of Rarity's house and went somewhere. We...haven't found him yet, I'm so sorry Princess Celestia Princess Celestia walked up to her faithful student and bent her head down to her level "Twilight, it's not your fault, he's new to this world and meeting somepony like me who is a Princess must feel very nervous when it's their first time meeting Royalty. How did you feel when you first met me?" Twilight looked up to her with a big smile "It was nervous but the best thing that ever happened to me, I understand now Princess Celestia" Pinkie Pie interrupted them "Girls! I'm trying to tell you that he's at Twilight's house!" she yelled. Twilight snapped her head back "WHAT? Why didn't you tell us?" "I tried to silly!" Pinkie Pie remarked. Celestia giggled "Well if that's true, should we head over to your house Twilight?" Twilight's eyes sparkled "Yes Princess Celestia!" ________________________________________ Joseph and Spike stood proudly and stared at their tidiness "Well that's all done and dusted! I feel confident to meet Princess Celestia now!" Spike smiled "That's the spirit bro!" Joe walked over to the door "Well let's go find Twilight and the others to prepare for the Princesses Arrival!" he opened the door ans saw a group of Ponies at the front door. The six mane and a Unicorn with Wings. "Um...Hey guys, who's that?" he asked while pointing to the Tall Unicorn. The tall unicorn stepped forward with a warm smile "I am Princess Celestia, I co-rule Equestria along side with my sister" Joe gasped and immediately kneel down on one kneel with a hand over his heart, he lowered his head in respect. Princess Celestia giggled "It's alright Joseph, please stand" she said warmly like a mothering tone. Joe stood up to slowly "H-hello Princess Celestia, it's an honour to meet you" "Thank you very much Joseph. How are you doing here in Ponyville and with my faithful student Twilight and her friends?" she asked. "It-its Wonderful here Princess Celestia, The relatives are friendly and the environment is beautiful, The hospital took care of me especially Nurse Redheart. Then Twilight and the others came to see me, they were all nice to me and cared for me so much even when I'm a foreign species. Me and Spike cleaned and cooked at Twilights. Rairty cut my hair and even said she would make me some clothes free of charge for my first set. And they all gave me something I never had back on my world, and that is friends". He said to her. Celestia smiled "I'm so happy that you are fitting well here Joseph, I see no reason to do anything at this stage. But I am curious, how did you get to Equestria?" she asked. Joe thought about it long and hard but couldn't remember all of it "Well, All I remember is That I was pushed and I fell down from the sky and splashed into the lake". Princess Celestia nodded "I see, I will do everything in my power to send you home but if I cannot however, I can't do anything else to send you home". Joe gulped "Y-Yes, Thank you Princess Celestia". Princess Celestia looked at the six mane who was quiet for all this time "Well I must be off to attend to other matters, I am happy to see Mr. Brooklyn is settling here nicely". Celestia walked away from Joe and whispered to Twilight "If he say's anything more or he does anything, write to me straight away". Twilight nodded and whispered back "Yes Princess Celestia". Princess Celestia then walked away with her guards who was standing away from them, she looked back once more and gave her warmest smile 'Something tells me Joseph belongs here, only time will tell'. She and her guards walked away from their sights. Joseph was smiling as she left, it went better then he ever expected. He didn't run away that time, he was calm and truthful, she was the nicest person he ever met besides his father. Rainbow Dash pointed a hoof at him "Ha! You should have seen the look on your face when you first saw her!" she joked. Joe blushed "R-Rainbow Dash! I never met a Princess how was I suppose to react?" "Oh Princess Celestia! I kneel before you for I am not worthy!" Spike said mocking a Knight when he met a princess. Everypony laughed away, Joe looked up at the sky, tears of joy and laghter dripped from his eyes 'This world is...something I always dreamed of'.
Chapter 1Chapter 1: Today's another normal day In a city called New York City, the roads roaring with cars and horns going off. The people walking down the streets, all day long, every day. Somewhere among this city, a boy who lives a normal life, going to school and doing homework. That sort of stuff. In a school called Walton High School, he was walking down a corridor to attend his next lesson History. He walked into his class room along with his classmates, as he took his seat his teacher came in. Mr. Philips "Alright settle down please" he took out a piece of paper and clicked his pen. "answer your names". A few names later, the boy's name was called out. "Joseph". Joseph cleared his throat "Here" Joseph was an average guy. He's 16 years old and has short dark brown hair and his eye's are green. He's mostly quiet around people. His grades are high and was doing well for himself, well, that's what the teachers think. Lately he's been miserable because of his family, his father is always on business trips but he loves his son and is happy for his grades. His mother is the opposite, she doesn't love him as much like his father, she tends to care more about his big sister. His sister whom he hates the most, she's a selfish, spoilt brat and cares little for Joe. "Okay class, take out your books and turn to page 109" Mr. Philips said, snapping Joe out of his day dreaming. He got out his history book and turned to page 109. The school day went by quickly, he walked back home. He entered his home and closed the door, not being greeted by his mother or sister. He saw his mother in the kitchen, smoking and watching TV and his sister talking to her friends on the phone, she is always on the phone and their phone bill is very high. Joe sighed and went upstairs to his room. Joe collapsed on the bed, exhausted from school, he rolled on his back and stared at the ceiling. Joe got up from his bed and went to his desk, he took a piece of paper and a pen a wrote to his father. Dear Dad. School was okay, just like normal, no troubles or anything like that. Just another normal day, Mum and Clare still take no notice of me. I hate it here Dad, I really do, I wished I could come with you. I can't stand it here without you. I wish I could just leave this place and me and you can go to another world. I hope I'll see you on your day off. Love Joseph. Joe went back to his bed. 'I'll post it when I go to school', Joe's eyes felt heavy, he slowly drifted off to sleep. Joe was dreaming, quite an unusual dream in fact. Joe was in a dark room sitting on a chair, Joe looked around, nothing but pitch black. Suddenly a light turned on above him, Joe jumped in shock. A voice came out from the shadows, it wasn't rough but it wasn't soft. "Do you wish to go to another place ?" the voice said, echoing. Joe looked franticly around in search of the voice whereabouts but failed. Joe stuttered. "W-what do y-you mean?". "I want a simple answer yes or no" the voice said, raising his voice in annoyance. Joe shrugged it off. "Well...sure. Just a dream anyway" Joe said confidently, thinking he was only dreaming. The voice chuckled. "very well...I do hope you can swim" and with that said, Joe felt a force on his chest as if he was being pushed. Joe felt his clothes waving as if the wind was blowing very fast and he felt like he was falling. He turned his head around to see he was indeed falling...from the sky. Joe panicked moving his head around to see the pitch black room was gone, Completely. Joe turned his body around only to see he was falling into a lake, he was getting closer by the second. Joe braced for impact. Joe kept falling until he splashed into the lake, the feeling was more of a smash then a splash. He held his breath and began to swim to the surface. Joe's head emerged from the waters, gasping for air and coughing. He looked around him to see he was not in central park lake but a lake he never seen before. Joe swam to the grassy shore and heaved his body out of the cold water, he was soaking wet. "wh-where am I!" Joe yelled aloud, hoping someone would come but no one came, he walked up the hill and saw something that made his heart skip a beat. He was not in New York City. He nearly passed out from utter shock, but he managed to hold himself together, he tried to think deep down this was just a dream and he would wake up. I tried pinching himself but he didn't wake up, he even slapped himself and all he got out of that was a red cheek. Joe decided to investigate the area to see if there were anybody in the area. He saw a dirt road leading to a town he never seen before, he speed walked to the town. While on his way to the town, he saw a red barn with a purple roof. Figuring it could save him the time and energy he went to the barn to see if the owner was there. Joe looked around the barn and saw hundreds or even thousands of apple trees, Joe never saw anything like this in his life, the owner must have made a fortune with this amount of apples. He walked up to the open doors. "Hello? Is anyone in here?" no reply, Joe sighed and decided to go to the city when he heard a gasp from behind. Joe slowly turned his head around to see if it was the owner, Joe's eyes widened in surprise and shock. It was a pony, a her coat color was a brilliant amber yellow, her mane was a very light amber yellow and her eyes were green. 'She wore...a cowboy's hat!' Joe thought, he slowly backed away from the pony in fear. The pony stepped back slowly as well, blinking at Joe as if the pony didn't know what he was. He had seen enough, he ran yelped and ran to the town as fast as he could. 'What was that? What was that? What was that thing!' Joe shouted in his head while still running to the town. 'I've never, ever! Seen a pony like that! I need help, I got to find someone before I go insane!' He found himself getting closer and closer to the town, Joe ran to what he thought was a town square but he stopped dead in his tracks. His felt like his heart stopped beating, his chest feeling cold and breathless, eyes widened, sweat constantly dripping from his face. There were more ponies, different sizes and colors, some with horns and others with various hairstyles and fashion. The whole square stared at Joseph, confused at first, others filled with fear. Joe looked around the square, it was nothing like he ever saw in his life. He heard whispers, Joe putted his hands on his head trying to contain the whole situation but failed. He passed out and collapsed, the ponies rushed to him and examined him. "what is he! Has he come to harm us!" a pony shouted out. A pony pushed through the crowd of ponies, a lavender coated pony with a horn gasped at the unknown species. Joe was sleeping like a rock until a noise from outside woke him up. He stirred and rubbed his eyes, he saw a white ceiling, Joe observed his surroundings. 'I must be at a hospital? What happened to me?'. Joe sat up while putting a hand on his face, then it hit him. 'oh no...the ponies' Suddenly the door opened, Joe glanced at the door and hoping this was all just a dream. A white pony with pink hair and light blue eyes, the pony was wearing a nurses hat, Joe saw a red cross on her side. The pony went up to Joe and looked at him. "How are you feeling?". Joe gasped, his face turned white "Y-Y-you ca-can -t-talk!" he stuttered. The voice was female, Joe nearly passed out again but managed to resist. The pony tilted her head sideways showing a confused face. "Why of course I can talk, everypony can talk around here. You're not from here are you? What are you? Where did you come from?" Joe relaxed and calmed down for a moment 'maybe she could help me? She doesn't look like she would harm me' Joe thought but thinking he must keep his guard up. "I'm a hu-" Joe was cut off by a knock on the door, the nurse walked over to the door and opened it. "Twilight, perfect timing, he just woke up but he needs his rest so please don't be too long" the nurse said to someone. She walked out of the room but not without saying a few words to Joe "I'll be right back, please don't leave your room" Joe nodded nervously. "o-okay" He saw a purple pony with a horn on it's head, a unicorn, but she had a very unique hair style that humans would have. Her mane was Dark blue, purple strips and a pink strip, she had violet colored eyes. A creature was riding on her, to Joe it looked like...a dragon! A little purple scale and green spiked dragon with green eyes. The unicorn walked over to the side of Joe's bed and examined him a little. "Hello, My Name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend Spike. We saw you collapsed on ground, I rushed over to see and you were out cold" Joe looked down and fiddled with his fingers. "W-where am I?" he said nervously. "You're in Equestria, a land of magic with Ponies and Dragons. Co-Ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, right now you're in Ponyville" Joe putted his hands on his head, taking in what he thought was a dream. "Am...Am I really in this world? Is it a dream?" he asked Twilight. Twilight lowered her head and shook it. "I'm so sorry, but I don't know how or why" she said sadly. Joseph looked out of the window thinking about what will happen to him and what should he do. He saw Twilight looking at the clock and gasped. "I'm sorry but Me and Spike have to go back home, but I'll come back to see you tomorrow with my friends. Bye!" "See ya later dude!" The little dragon said before they left Joe. Joe chuckled a bit at spike, the accent reminds him of the kids in New York City trying to be cool. Joseph rested his head on the pillow. 'What the heck is going on?' he thought as his eye's felt heavy and he drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 2Chapter 2: Welcome to Ponyville part 1 Back on Earth, somewhere around the world is a country called Korea, separated into two. The first half is called North Korea and the other is South Korea in which he is in, not all humans are rainbow and sunshine. Some think of power, wealth and greed, this makes a man selfish in his dark ways. Some think of Peace, friendship and love, this makes a man a symbol of Rejoice. Why is this Earth so complex ? Why is the humans so different ? What made us become so different from any other race ? Who knows, do you know ? A man grunted and switched off a Television and let out a frustrated moan. 'Ridicules programs, as if anyone would listen to this' he thought. The man looked around his office, it was a neat and tidy office but bland. It was only temporary because he was always on the move, his eye's shifted to a picture frame of him and his son. He smiled warmly, his office phone rang and he picked up the phone. "Hello ?" "Good evening, your meeting will start shortly" a female Korean said in an English Korean accent. "Thank you" the man said and placed the phone down and rubbed his eyes. 'When I get a week off, I'm coming to see you...Joseph' Joseph was sleeping like a rock, snoring lightly. It was morning in Ponyville, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue with a few clouds. The ponies woke up to the morning breeze starting with their daily lives. Nurse Redheart went to check up on Joseph, she pushed a cart with Joe's breakfast. She opened the door and went inside. "Good morning, I brought you your break-" she said but stopped at the sight of Joe sleeping, snoring lightly and he was talking in his sleep. "Zzz...Careful with that hammer...zzZ". Nurse Redheart giggled at this 'its amazing what everypony can dream about' she thought. She went to Joe's side of the bed and lifted her hooves gently on his body and shook him lightly. "Excuse Sir, it's time to wake up" Joe's eyes slowly opened, he looked around the room, and saw the White pony nurse. He was startled but only for a second, he sat up straight and face Nurse Redheart. "G-Good morning Nurse". Nurse Redheart smiled warmly at Joe, Joe couldn't help but smile as well while blushing a bit. "I brought you your breakfast" Nurse Redheart said as she placed a tray on Joe's bed gently. The breakfast was a bowl of porridge that had a bit of steam coming up and a glass of orange Juice. "I added a bit of sugar for you if that's okay" Joe nodded "Thank you very much" he took the spoon and lifted some porridge and blew lightly, he putted the spoon in his mouth and swallowed the porridge. Joe's eye's went wide. Nurse Redheart started to panic a little. "Oh no! Is it too hot ?" she asked him. Joseph smiled and ate more of the porridge. The Nurse was taken aback at the humans sudden shocked face to eating with great joy. Joe putted the spoon in the bowl and drank the orange juice. "That was absolutely delicious, it was the best thing I've had in years. Thank you" Joe said cheerfully with a big smile. Nurse Redheart lifted her right hoof in shock but smiled. "w-why thank you very much, I'm so pleased that you liked it" she said. A knock came from the door, the nurse went over to the door and opened it. "Oh my, welcome everyone, please come in". A group of ponies walked into the room including Twilight Sparkle, Nurse Redheart went out of the room. Joe was surprised on how many came with Twilight, he saw their looks, frightened. Twilight went up to Joe's bed side. "Hello, how are you feeling?" "I'm feeling great thank you" Joseph said making Twilight sigh in relief. "That's good news, I was thinking something bad would have happened" Suddenly a Pink Pony was jumping around the room acting very hyper. "ooh! What is he! Does he like party's ?" she said loudly, Joe blinked in response. "Pinkie Pie! Not right now!" Twilight said trying to calm the hyperactive pony, Joe smirked at the Pink Ponies behavior but covered his mouth with his hand. "Sorry about that, Let me introduce you to my friends, this here is Pinkie Pie" Twilight pointed her Hoof at her. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie and after you come out we're going to have a welcome party just for you!" Pinkie Pie yelled whilst jumping up and down. Pinkie Pie is a Pink coated Pony with a Puffy Rose magenta mane and her eye's are a Bluish cyan. "And this is Rainbow Dash" Twilight said. Joe was gob smacked at Rainbow Dashes appearance, she was a Pegasus with wings, her coat was a Pale cyan and her mane was of the colors of the rainbow. Brilliant Red, Brilliant Orange, Light Yellow, Moderate Green, Strong Cyan and Moderate Green. Her tail shown the same colors as well. Her eyes were a Strong rose color. "That's me! The fastest Pegasus in all of Equstria!" Rainbow Dash said proudly, her voice makes her a tomboyish Pony. Joe didn't say anything because of the amazing colors. Rainbow Dash smirked at Joe's priceless face. Twilight giggled "Okay Rainbow Dash remember he's not from this world and we have a lot to explain to him. Anyway, that's Rarity" "Hello Dear, I want to let you know that your clothes you wore are cleaned and I brought them with me in my bag, and I made that hospital dress your wearing now" Rarity said in posh accent like the Britons in the old days back on Earth. Her coat was a pure white and her mane was Indigo and Purple to Dark Violet and her eyes were Azure color. Her horn glowed and the bags top came off and his clothes floated to him. Joseph gasped and backed up as far as he could. Rarity placed the clothes on his bed and had look of concern. "Oh my, I was not going to hurt you dear, I'm so sorry for scaring you" Joe waved it off. "It's alright, It was just so sudden" an awkward silence passed by for what it seemed like hours. Twilight then broke the mood. "Okay...Now Let me introduce you to Fluttershy" Fluttershy glanced back and forth at Joe, he knew what she was thinking, she didn't trust him fully and was very shy, hence the name. "H-hello" she whispered. Joe nodded, understanding her shyness. She too was a Pegasus . Her coat was a pale amber Yellow, her mane was pink and she had strong Cyan colored eyes. Twilight looked back and forth at Joe and Fluttershy as if they were mind linking. She shook it off and pointed her hoof to the last Pony. "And that's Applejack". Joseph looked to see Applejack and gasped, pointing at her. "Its-Its you! The Pony with the cowboy hat at the barn!" he yelled. All eyes were on Applejack, she made a nervous laugh. "Eyup, That's me". Rainbow Dash butted in. "Applejack told us about you but we couldn't understand what she was trying to describe". Applejack playfully placed her head on Rainbow Dashes and pushed. "Hold on there, I was tryin mah best!" Twilight giggled "Alright girls settle down". Joseph watched them, he felt a warm feeling inside 'it must be great to have friends'. "So, where did you come from? What's your name?" Rainbow Dash asked. Joe looked at her and the rest, wondering where to start. "Well, My name is Joseph Brooklyn and some people call me Joe, you can call me Joseph or Joe if you like. I'm a male, 16 years old and I attend School. I'm a human from Earth and live in a country called America, I'm in the New York state and live in New York City." Everypony was amazed by the information. Pinkie Pie bounced around. "WOW! We have a connection! Your from this Earth and I'm a Earth Pony!". Joe looked at Twilight with a confused look and raising an eyebrow. Twilight smiled nervously "I'll explain about the Pony races later but right now we need to find you a place to live". Joseph didn't think about that, he rubbed his chin in thought, however, Twilight had an offer. "You can stay at my house for awhile" Joe looked at her with a concerned look. "are you sure? I don't want to be a burden to you". "Of course I'm sure, and you won't be a burden." Twilight reassuringly said with a smile, he also returned the smile. "Thank you so much". Then Twilight gasped and clapped her hooves together. "Oh I know! Let's have a sleep over at mine tonight!" she said like a school girl. Pinkie Pie also jumped around like crazy. "YAY! LET'S HAVE A PARTY!" and all the ponies talked about the sleep over. Joe however sat quietly not wanting to ruin their moment. He sighed sadly 'why? Why are they being so nice to me, a stranger from another world. No one is like this back at home but these 'ponies' are wanting to help me as if they are already my friends. But I don't have any friends, none at all, except for Dad...' Applejack's face was very close to Joe's face. "Are ya alright sugercube? Seem to be spacin out, got somethin on yer mind?". Joe jumped at Applejack's face being very close but he laughed nervously and scratched his head. "Oh..n-no I'm okay, thanks for asking". He saw the look on her face that she didn't seem to buy it but she nodded. Nurse Redheart came back. "Well it's seems your fine, you may leave whenever your ready". Joe slowly got out of bed, his bare feet touching the cold floor that sent shivers down his spine. He stood up, remembering his balance. The Ponies watched in awe as if he was a giant from Jack and the bean stalk. "Whoooa! Amazing how you can walk on two hooves!" Rainbow Dash commented. Twilight facehoofed. "Rainbow Dash he's not one of us, it's not called hooves for him it's called...called...umm...Joe, what are they called in your world" she asked sheepishly. Joe blinked at her question. "Feet?". Twilight then nodded "Feet! Yes, feet", everyone or everypony to him laughed but he didn't understand why. He was about to take off his hospital dress until he remembered his room was full of girls. He blushed lobster red and spoke out nervously. "Urr...umm...I-I can't get dressed if your in here" The gang of ponies faces were full of confusion. "Why not?" asked Twilight. Joe blushed some more "I'm a guy and your girls...you know...Umm..." Rarity made a small gasp "Girls, let's give Joseph some privacy. Come out whenever you're ready darling". Joe nodded "Thanks Rarity". Pinkie Pie bounced out of the room humming a tune of some sorts while the others galloped out. Joe sighed in relief, he took off his hospital dress and picked his T-shirt up. It was a Yellow and the shoulder parts were black (Like Cole's shirt from inFamous 2) and his trousers were black with two white stripes on both left and right sides. He putted them on and got his white socks on, he grabbed his shoe's that were white with blue strips, Joseph putted his feet on the shoes and tied each one. He went up to a mirror and looked at his face. 'Nothing changed about my face thank goodness' he thought and glanced to the door 'What am I getting myself into? I'm going to be living with talking ponies and that can use magic. I think I'm going crazy'. He walked to the door and slowly opened it, he was greeted by Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm. "HELLO JOE! NICE CLOTHES YOU HAVE!" she yelled cheerfully. Joe smiled "Thank you". Applejack suddenly walked away. "Sorry folks but I gotta get back to work, Nice meetin ya Joe, see y'all later.". Fluttershy hovered away as well. "Umm...I have to go too, I must feed the animals. Goodbye". "Goodness! I'm late on my work! I must be off, I would like to see you soon for your clothes in the future Joseph! Goodbye Darling!" Rarity said as she galloped away. Rainbow hovered in front of Joe. "You better not do anything funny with Twilight Mister! Or I'll take you down in 5 seconds flat!" and with that, she flew off rather fast. Pinkie Pie jumped and stopped mid air, she was shaking and made a loud gasp. "Oh no! I need to bake the cakes! Bake the cupcakes and make the milkshakes! Bye Bye Joe! See you later!" and goddess knows how she flew off. Joseph stood still and silently in the middle of the hall way with Twilight by his side, his eye twitched and mouth wide open. "Good Bye? I guess?" The little unicorn made a chuckle. "Don't worry, you'll get use to it. C'mon I'll show you around Ponyville" Twilight said with amusement. Joe walked with Twilight out of the hospital but not before seeing Nurse Redheart before he left. "Nurse, I really want to thank you for everything you've done for me when I'm a foreign species" Nurse Redheart nodded "I'll always be here to help you if your sick or injured Mr. Brooklyn. Take care of yourself now". He smiled gracefully at her and walked out with Twilight.
Chapter 3Chapter 3: Welcome to Ponyville part 2 After about an a few hours of exploration around Ponyville, Twilight decided they should head back to her house. While exploring around Ponyville, he saw lot's of stares and concerns. Most of them welcomed him with open arms and some didn't care. A lot of them asked him questions in which he did his best to answer them all. Twilight managed to get him out of the crowds of Ponies. The sun was almost down, they arrived at Twilight's house. Joe was confused "You live in a tree house?". Twilight smiled "Well, it may look like that from the outside but on the inside it's the Local Library and Me and Spike's home." She went up to the door and gestured her hoof at the door. "After you" Joseph walked up to the door and opened it, he saw the room was dark and couldn't see a thing. He went inside with Twilight following him from behind "Twilight, where's the light switch?" Twilight closed the door "It's coming on...now!" she suddenly yelled. The lights turned on and Joe was greeted by a huge "SURPRISE!". He jumped in the air and saw many ponies including Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. He looked around in amazement, 'so many, so big...for me?'. Pinkie Pie went up to him with a huge grin on her face "Hi Joe! I made this party just for you!". "But...why?" he asked her making Pinkie Pie make a face as if he said a really stupid question "This is a welcome party silly!" she laughed. Joe looked at everpony as they smiled at him, he felt something he hasn't felt in a long time. He was Happy. A tear dropped from his eye following a stream of tears running down his face. Everypony shown concern to him, Pinkie Pie turned sad "Are you okay Joe? Why are you crying?". Joe noticed his tears and wiped them away "N-No, it's nothing. I have dust in my eyes." He smiled "Thank you so much, this is the best party In anyone has given me in my life" After about an hour of partying, Joe had a fantastic time, he was greeting warmly by the ponies and had some good food and drinks. Turns out that everyone left so suddenly at the hospital was not only to get back to their work but to get ready for the Party. Twilight knew all along that they were getting ready for him. But shortly after the ponies left saying their goodbyes to Joseph and hope he will happy here until he returns home. All who left left was Joseph, Spike and the six Mane. "Alright everypony! Let's get ready to sleep!" Twilight squeaked at the end, clapping her hooves together. "Twilight, what about the mess?" Joe pointed out. Twilight realized how messy it was, she flopped her ears down and laughed nervously "Oh yeah, that" "Don't worry I'll clean it up" Spike said coming from behind the group. Joe noticed the little dragon and knelt down to him "You Spike am I right?" and he offered a hand shake. Spike smiled and shook his hand "Yeah! You remembered! Your name is...Joseph Brooklyn?". Joe nodded "That's right" The girls giggled at them, it seems like they are best friends already. Joe looked around "Are you sure you can clean this all on your own Spike?" Spike nodded "Yeah, it's gonna be a long night but hey, that's what I do!" he said proudly. Joe stood up "Let me help you". Spike looked shocked "What? I can do it myself dude, you need to sleep". Joseph shook his head "I'm going to help you, the quicker we can do this the faster we can go to sleep. Sleeps good right?". Spike putted a hand on his chin, pondering his words "Well, I do want to sleep. And with you, a big guy, we can finish this in no time. But are you sure you want to help me?" Joe nodded "Sure I'm sure". Spike then punched his fist in the air "Alright then! Let's do this!". Twilight however stepped forward. "Hey hang on! We'll help you!" She offered but the Boy's disliked the offer "Thanks guys but I think me and Joe can do it." Twilight moved her hooves back and forth a bit looking guilty of them having to clean everyone's mess. "Well...okay, but please don't stay cleaning this for too long" "Don't worry Twilight, we'll be fine" Spike said. Twilight nodded and went up with the girls and arranged their bed plans. Spike and Joe looked at each other and grinned. Spike spoke up "Why are we grinning?" he asked to Joe but his answer was the same in Spike's mind "To be honest, I don't know". The boys cleaned the room and thrown away the rubbish. Joe cleaned the dishes while Spike dried them. Spike and Joe were becoming close friends. They got some trays with biscuits and drinks for them and the girls. "Feels like we're servants huh?" Spike joked. Joseph had an idea and whispered to Spike. They went up and saw the six mane in a circle, talking about what any normal girl would with others. Twilight heard them and turned to see them "Spike, Joe, oh! You brought us Refreshments, thank you so much". They placed their refreshments down while Joe held his and Spikes refreshments. "No problem" Spike said and he and Joe bowed "Your Majesty" they both said. Twilight's eyes went wide and spurted random word out "I-Majesty-w-what?". Joe and Spike walked over to Joe's bed which was not that far away from them. They both sniggered as they sat down, leaving the girls to look at each other but they also giggled. Twilight covered her mouth with her Hoof 'Those silly two'. It was midnight. Everypony and Dragon was fast asleep. Except for mankind, Joseph couldn't sleep. He tossed and he turned in his bed on the floor but he just could not sleep. A lot was on his mind. What would happen if he didn't attend school back on Earth, what would his father do if he found out he was missing. Joe sat up from the bed and putted a hand on his forehead, he stared at the sleeping ponies and the Dragon next to him. He needed some fresh air, Joe crept out of his bed quietly and putted his shoes on and proceeded to exit the house quietly. He got to the front door and opened it slowly and closed it slowly as he was outside. Joseph took a breath of the cool fresh night air, he looked at the night time sky and saw that the stars were out as well as half a moon. It was something Joe could never quite see normally in New York City. It was never quiet, always noisy, most of the people are cruel. But not in Ponyville, it was the place that Joe always wanted to live in, if only his father was with him and they could have a happy life. He found himself in the town square, nopony was here, just a quiet and peaceful night. He sat down on the steps of the Tower that was in the middle of the square. He heard something coming up to him, he lifted his head up to see who it was and it was Twilight Sparkle. She held a very concerned face. "Joseph, why are you out here this late? What's wrong?" He sighed "Twilight, I don't know what to think. I wonder what's happening right now back at home, what will my school do about my absence, what will my father do when he knows I'm gone". Twilight sighed also and sat next to him "I'm sorry about that Joe. But I promise to try and get you home. That's what friends do." Joe looked at her when she said 'friends' "A-Are we friends? Because I never had any friends back home". Twilight's eyes widens "What! How come?" He looked away "I don't know why, everyone seems to think of me as a virus and hardly notices me. I get bullied for being a bookworm and being quiet all the time." Twilight felt sorry for him, he was like her in a way. She started off with no friends and thought she didn't need any to stop Nightmare Moon but the found out friendship is important. She defeated Nightmare moon along with her new friends. Twilight putted a hoof on Joe's shoulder and smiled "You have lot's of friends already Joseph. Me, Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. You are not alone" Joe looked at Twilight with tears in his eyes. Yes, she was right, he now had friends. They don't even know who or what he was but they quickly treated him as an equal. He felt that he belonged to this world. He made a smile "Thank you Twilight, Thank you."
Chapter 4Chapter 4: A new day of a new life What is the difference between a Man and an Animal? The man is in control and has power, the animal is has no power or control. What is the difference? The man may love the creatures of our world but another man may hate the creatures of our world. A man has a dog and they create a bond of loyalty and friendship, the dog is know for man's best friend. Another man has a dog, he treats the dog with hate and abuse, they share the power of hatred, the dog feels powerless, cries and begs for mercy. A man shouldn't choose an animals fate, an animal should choose their fate. Man should be punished by the gods and animals blessed by the goddesses. What is the difference between us and animals? ________________________________________ Joseph woke up sweating bullets, he clenched his shirt and breathing heavily. He looked around the room and sighed in relief. It wasn't a dream, it was a memory, A man on the television always discussed topics that were strange, scary but sometimes interesting. No one knows or who he is, he calls himself 'The Man'. The Man gives Joe the creeps. Joe looked around the room, he went out last night to ponder what would happen when he wasn't there but Twilight followed him when he left and comforted him, they went back together with Joe filled with Joy, he has friends. He saw the six ponies sleeping soundly, he saw spike snoring loudly next to him. Joseph smiled and got up out of bed and stretched his arms, he found his shoes near his bed and put them on and tied them. Spike lifted his head moaning in frustration of to whatever disturbed his slumber. "Aww man...who woke me up?" Spike moaned and saw Joe. Joe looked at him with an apologetic look "S-Sorry Spike, I didn't mean to wake you up" Spike got up and ran up to him "N-No! You didn't wake me up! I-uh...I had to get to do my choirs! Yeah!" "Choirs?" Joe asked blankly. Spike scratched behind his head "Yeah well, Twilight needs some help so I usually get the books and clean up. I'm her number 1 assistant!" he said proudly. Joseph stared down at Spike 'He may be a small dragon but he's got a big heart' he thought of Spike. "Hey Joe, think you could help me with the breakfast, y'know, I got choirs to do and the breakfast needs to made. That is if you can cook?" Spike said. Joe nodded. "I can cook good meals. But are you sure you want me to cook?" Joe asked his new friend. Not wanting him to feel as if he was taking Spike's job. "Sure I'm sure! After I done my choirs I'll help you out!" Spike said as he was sorting out books on a ladder "If you need anything it'll all be in the kitchen" Joe walk to the cupboards and opened the cupboards and then the fridge. He moved his lips sideways to think what he would make. A flash bulb appeared above his head but he looked up to see Spike changing the light. Spike smiled nervously and climbed down. Joe shook his head and took out all the things he needed. Spike noticed Joseph was getting ready "So, what'cha making?". Joseph got a bowl and poured some flour in the bowl and cracked an egg, the yolk dropped into the flour and he whisked it together "Pancakes". Applejack woke up, she blinked a few times to regain her sight and got up and stretched "That was ah mighty fine night! Rise an shine girls!". Pinkie Pie shot up and jumped up and down "YAY! Its Morning! Breakfast time! Breakfast time!". Rarity woke up and immediately saw her messy hair "Oh. My. GOSH! Where is the the hair brush?" she franticly searched for the nearest hairbrush. Rainbow Dash got up and stretched her legs out "Alright! Time for me to get ready for my latest and most awesome new move!" "Hold on Rainbow Dash you can't do that without an empty stomach. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Twilight said as she hot out of her bed and walked over to Rarity who had finish brushing her hair. "Good morning Twilight dear, let me brush your hair" Rarity offered. Twilight nodded "Thanks Rarity". Fluttershy woke up and made a little yawn. "G-Good morning everypony." Fluttershy then sniffs and smells something delicious "What is that lovely smell?" The others also sniffed, Pinkie Pie's eye's sparkled "Mmm! Breakfast time! Who cooking?". Twilight looked over to where Joe and Spike were sleeping but they weren't there. She raised a brow "Only two boys are possible". The six ponies went downstairs, they stopped mid way and saw some plates on the floor with what looked like pancakes, six of them. They gasped and smiled, they saw Joseph and Spike making their own pancakes. "Ok...now just put it on the plate...great! You made your own pancake!" Joe said as he patted Spike's back gently and carefully so he avoids his spikes. Spike grabbed his plate. Joe grabbed his plate and putted some Syrup and butter on top of his and Spike's. He noticed the girls on the stairs and smiled "G-good morning guys, we made you breakfast." Applejack went downstairs with the others following "Good Mornin! Well ah'll be, you an Spike made us all breakfast." Joe blushed "It was nothing, Spike wanted some help and I was happy to make some, sorry if I used up all your ingrediants Twilight" he said rubbing his neck. Twilight looked at the two and smiled "Oh you two, Thank you". After about a few minutes of eating their breakfast, Rarity decided to ask Joe a question "So Joseph, what is this 'New York City' you live in like?" Joe putted his plate down and placed crossed his arms "Well, It's an extremely huge city. Millions of people live there and everything is busy. New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world, My planet called Earth if you remembered." Rarity's eyes sparkled 'oh wow! Just imagine! Millions would see MY fashion!' she thought. Joseph blinked a few times. Pinkie Pie jumped in "Do you have parties!" she shouted. "Yes, we have have parties on special occasions though but to be honest I prefer yours" Joe's words made Pinkie Pie bounced with Joy. Fluttershy nervously asked a question "Urm...do you have a family?" she whispered. Joe looked down at his feet and made a sad smile "Yes, I do. But it's complicated". Twilight stepped in front of him "Joe, you can tell us anything, after all we are your friends". He was quiet and hesitant, stood up and walked to a window, turning his back on them "I have a Mother and Older Sister. I hate them" he said bitterly making everypony in the the wince at he sudden change of personality. But he he turned his head to them with tears coming down his eyes. "I have a father whom I love deeply but he's always on business trips but he writes to me. I miss him so much and now he won't be able to see me anymore" Joseph wiped his tears away, Twilight went up to him. "Joseph Brooklyn, I made a promise to you and I'm going to try my best to get you home." She reassured him. He nodded. 10 minutes later The ponies comforted Joe and he explained to them all about his life of how he has no friends but he's a great student at his school. The girls and dragon said they will always be friends no matter what. They said they had to leave but they will see him around. Twilight was talking to Joe about herself and all about the History of Equstria, Princess Celestia and Luna, Spike and how she found friendship and defeated Nightmare Moon. Joe was amazed by her and the others abilities, she was very powerful. She also explained that their cutie marks, They are obtained when ponies discover a unique characteristic that sets themselves apart from others. Twilight also mentioned that magic is unable to make a cutie mark appear, explaining that the mark will only appear in due course. Twilight just remembered that Rarity said that she wanted to see Joe today while they were eating "Joe, Rarity said she wanted to see you today" Joe's head perked up "Sure, can't wait to see her place" he said as he stood up and brushed himself off. Twilight got her bag and Spike hopped on her back "I'll take you to her place just in case you've forgotten, I got to see somepony about a missing book." Spike chuckled "Good luck with that Twilight, Me and Joe will see..." Just before Spike could finish what he was saying Twilight cut him off. "Not so fast mister! Rarity needs to see him and work on her measurements". She said while smirking. Spike crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks, Joe couldn't help but snigger. They got to Rarity's house, Carousel Boutique. Rarity's boutique, in which she makes dresses for customers and sometimes for her friends, also doubles as her home. Joseph was impressed to see further up close. Twilight walked to the door, made a three knocks and walked in. "Rarity! I brought Joe!" Twilight called out. Joe looked around the room, The room is stocked with materials and supplies such as mirrors, dressform mannequins. The had a passion for fashion as some girls would say back on earth. He saw Rarity using her horn to lift scissors and cut some cloth. She heard Twilights voice and putted the scissors down and took her glasses off, she trotted to the three. "Why hello Twilight, Spike and Joseph Dear. I am so glad that you came Joseph, I am sure Twilight told you why your here. I want to do some measurements so I can make clothes for you, you would look ridicules wearing the same clothes all over again and to be quite fair, a bit smelly" she said making Joe's eyebrow twitch. Spike's eyes turned into heart shapes, he drooled and clasped his hands together "Oh Rarity, she's the most beautiful Pony in all of Eqestria!" Twilight rolled her eyes in annoyance "C'mon! We got a pony to see. Go easy with him Raity, after all he is still new here". Rarity nodded "Of course dear". Twilight turned to the door and galloped out, Spike widened his eyes "Wha-? Hey Wait! Noooo!" he screamed but Twilight used her magic and closed the door. Joseph shifted nervously, he was alone with Rarity and had no idea what was coming next. Rarity walked up to Joe, she inspected him by walking around him, she looked up to his face. "Oh My, You really need a trim for your hair Joseph" she said, almost demanding. Joe stuttered "W-w-what! But you said y-you wanted to measure my clothes!" Rarity shook her head "Darling, Your hair is simply a mess, it's badly cutted and your hair is greasy. Who ever cut your hair?". He looked down, remembering the thought of his hair cut "Me...I didn't have much money on me and the job I was doing could only pay for my food and drinks. So I cut it myself, I wouldn't dare ask My mother or sister". The Pony lifted her hoof "I...I see, I am terribly sorry about that Joseph, You...did your best" she reassured. Joe waved it off "It's okay...you...you can cut my hair if you still want to" This made Rarity's eyes sparkle. "Yes!" she screamed with joy, her horn glowed which made a stools float over to Joe, she putted it down next to him "Sit down please dear". He slowly took his seat, he placed his hands on his lap, Rarity was collecting her materials while giving some things to her white cat. 'Poor kitty' Joseph thought. Rarity had her glasses back on, she used her magic and floated the scissors to his hair, the scissors snipped his hair off as they fell to the ground. She was humming a tune whilst cutting, Joe looked at her when she came into his view. He thought she had a incredible talent for this kind of thing, she noticed he was staring at her. Rarity stopped cutting "Is something wrong Joseph?". He shook his head "No not really, I'm just amazed how talented you are. Not many people in my world are like you". Rarity smiled "I am flattered, thank you very much". She finished cutting his hair and brought Joe to clean his hair and dry it off. When he was finished drying his hair, Rarity stood back to admire her work. "That is looking much better, now let's measure you so I can make your clothes for the future, you should have a wonderfully colourful shirt. No, No, you need to choose, yes choose your own colour." Rarity said while thinking of ways to create new clothes for a Human but she got carried away, she gasped and giggled "Oh my, I should be measuring you now". Joe was lifting his arms, turning and saying his hight and shoe number which Rarity found fascinating. She finished her measuring and wrote them down in a book, she looked back and forth to make sure her work is spot on. "Well I think that should do for now, thank you for coming Joseph" He sighed sadly "No, Thank you Rarity. But I don't have any money to pay you for all this..." he was stopped mid way when Rarity spoke up to him raising her hoof to stop him talking. "You have already paid me with your uniqueness, I am now creating something new that's out of my experience. In the future you will need to pay me Dear but for now when you get your new clothes you do not need to pay, which colour would you like your Shirt and Trousers to be?" Joseph thought for awhile "Well, could my shirt be white and my trousers like the ones I'm wearing now?" he asked. Rarity puffed her cheeks "White shirt and trousers the same? My goodness you need more colour dear! Brighten yourself up!" She sighed "Very well" Joe grinned and shook his head 'You can't beat a fashioner when it comes to appearance and that's Rarity, I just hope I can choose from now on but somehow...that won't be the case' he thought while sweating nervously. Just then, A knock on the door was heard as the door opened to reveal a purple unicorn Twilight Sparkle. Spike wasn't on her back, Joe thought she sent him home to do some choirs if Spike told him right. Twilight walked in while looking at the boy's new hair cut "Wow, that's a nice hair cut Joe" she commented which made him blush. "T-Thank you" he replied. "Joe, remember when I told you about Princess Celestia who co-rules Equestria?" Twilight asked. He nodded "Yeah, why?" "I've been writing to Princess Celestia about you and she said that she would very interested to meet you face to face" Twilight said. An awkward silence came, it felt like it lasted for hours, Joseph stood very still as his face was emotionless, he walked to a window and placed a hand on the wall. "Princess Celestia is coming?" he said. Twilight nodded "Yes" "To see me?" he asked. Twilight was starting to feel nervous "Um...Yes" "The co-ruler of your of Equestria?" Joe asked Twilight once more. "Y-Yes she is coming to see you as well as the residents of Ponyville" Twilight said whie making circles with her right hoof. Joe was silent for a minute and he suddenly ran out the door "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?" he yelled as he ran through Ponyville. Twilight and Rarity were shocked at his outburst, they looked at each other "What in the world?..." Rarity manged to speak out. Twilight ran out with Rarity following her "I have no idea but we've got to find him before Princess Celestia arrives!" Twilight said as she and Rarity went to find their friends. ________________________________________ Joseph ran through Ponyville as fast as Rainbow Dash can fly, he panted as his legs got heavy, he gained closer to his temporary home at Twilight's. He ran to the door and barged in with a loud slam as his closed the door. Spike who was stacking some books on a ladder made a surprised yelp, he lost his balance which made him fall but Joe ran up to him and caught him. Joe's eyes are widened with sweat falling down from his face, he made a big gasp for air and breathed out "Spike! The Princess is coming! what am I going to do?" he screamed. Spike pulled a confused face "Whoa! Whoa! Calm down dude! What's the big deal?" Joe placed Spike on the floor gently "The Princess of Equestria is coming to see me! I don't know what to do!" he yelled while grabbing his head and walking to the kitchen to have a drink. Spike sighed as he jogged to Joe who was gulping down a glass of milk "Joe, Princess Celestia isn't gonna do anything bad to you as long as you don't mean harm to her" Joe placed the glass on the table "I know that Spike it's just what will she think of me? I've never met anyone who is royalty, what if she thinks I'm acting rude when I don't know if I am?" Spike shook his head sideways "C'mon! She won't think that, just be yourself, Trust me, she's a great Princess and you'll love as much as we do" Joseph didn't speak for a second until he turned his head to meet Spike "Well...if you say so, Thank you Spike" Spike nodded "By the way Joe, how did you catch me? That was like Totally fast reflexes!" Spike's comment also amazed Joe himself, he look up to the ladder and back at the door 'he's right, He was pretty high and I was bit far, he would have fallen and I was catching my breath. I couldn't have caught him but somehow I did.' Joe shrugged in response "I think it was just a lucky reaction. Well we better get this place cleaned up!" Spike nodded "Okay!" ________________________________________ Twilight ran all over Ponyville, high and low, every pony but they could only tell his ran as if his life was depending on it. Twilight asked her friends to help search for Joe. Applejack came up to Twilight "What in tarnation happened Twilight?" "All I said to Joe was that Princess Celestia is coming to see him, he asked me questions to see if I was telling the truth. I said yes to everything he said and he ran out while yelled 'What am I going to do' ". Fluttershy appeared from behind them, she spoke in her soft and quiet voice "Maybe...maybe he never met somepony like Princess Celestia?" Applejack nodded "That's one thing to go on, but where the hay is he?" Rainbow Dash Flew down to the three ponies "I haven't seen him, maybe he did a runner!" Applejack stomped her hoof down "Now hold on there! Just because he ain't no pony doesn't mean he'd run, besides where could he go?" Rainbow Dash huffed "I was only saying! Jeez!" she flew off to search for Joe again. Rarity and Pinkie Pie came up to them "I have not seen him anywhere Twilight" Rarity said making Twilight lower her ears. "Oh no, Princess Celestia will be here any second now. Where could he be?" Twilight said as she walked around in circles. Pinkie Pie hopped around her friends "Oh Twilight, he didn't run away from here he just went somewhere!" Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity looked at Pinkie Pie "What? Where is he?" they yelled. Pinkie Pie giggled "He's at your-OH LOOK! PRINCESS CELESTIA!" She yelled as she pointed her hoof. Twilight and the others turned around to see a Tall Winged Unicorn appeared behind them, It was Princess Celestia. They bowed to her. "Hello everpony, it's lovely to see you all here. How is everything?" Princess Celestia asked, her voice is soothing and caring. Twilight raised her head up to meet her eyes "Everything is fine Princess Celestia!" she said happily, mostly because Celestia is here. Princess Celestia looked around her suroundings "And how is Mr. Brooklyn doing in Ponyville?" she asked. The ponies shifted uncomfortably except Pinkie Pie "Well, He panicked when I told him you were coming to see him so he ran out of Rarity's house and went somewhere. We...haven't found him yet, I'm so sorry Princess Celestia Princess Celestia walked up to her faithful student and bent her head down to her level "Twilight, it's not your fault, he's new to this world and meeting somepony like me who is a Princess must feel very nervous when it's their first time meeting Royalty. How did you feel when you first met me?" Twilight looked up to her with a big smile "It was nervous but the best thing that ever happened to me, I understand now Princess Celestia" Pinkie Pie interrupted them "Girls! I'm trying to tell you that he's at Twilight's house!" she yelled. Twilight snapped her head back "WHAT? Why didn't you tell us?" "I tried to silly!" Pinkie Pie remarked. Celestia giggled "Well if that's true, should we head over to your house Twilight?" Twilight's eyes sparkled "Yes Princess Celestia!" ________________________________________ Joseph and Spike stood proudly and stared at their tidiness "Well that's all done and dusted! I feel confident to meet Princess Celestia now!" Spike smiled "That's the spirit bro!" Joe walked over to the door "Well let's go find Twilight and the others to prepare for the Princesses Arrival!" he opened the door ans saw a group of Ponies at the front door. The six mane and a Unicorn with Wings. "Um...Hey guys, who's that?" he asked while pointing to the Tall Unicorn. The tall unicorn stepped forward with a warm smile "I am Princess Celestia, I co-rule Equestria along side with my sister" Joe gasped and immediately kneel down on one kneel with a hand over his heart, he lowered his head in respect. Princess Celestia giggled "It's alright Joseph, please stand" she said warmly like a mothering tone. Joe stood up to slowly "H-hello Princess Celestia, it's an honour to meet you" "Thank you very much Joseph. How are you doing here in Ponyville and with my faithful student Twilight and her friends?" she asked. "It-its Wonderful here Princess Celestia, The relatives are friendly and the environment is beautiful, The hospital took care of me especially Nurse Redheart. Then Twilight and the others came to see me, they were all nice to me and cared for me so much even when I'm a foreign species. Me and Spike cleaned and cooked at Twilights. Rairty cut my hair and even said she would make me some clothes free of charge for my first set. And they all gave me something I never had back on my world, and that is friends". He said to her. Celestia smiled "I'm so happy that you are fitting well here Joseph, I see no reason to do anything at this stage. But I am curious, how did you get to Equestria?" she asked. Joe thought about it long and hard but couldn't remember all of it "Well, All I remember is That I was pushed and I fell down from the sky and splashed into the lake". Princess Celestia nodded "I see, I will do everything in my power to send you home but if I cannot however, I can't do anything else to send you home". Joe gulped "Y-Yes, Thank you Princess Celestia". Princess Celestia looked at the six mane who was quiet for all this time "Well I must be off to attend to other matters, I am happy to see Mr. Brooklyn is settling here nicely". Celestia walked away from Joe and whispered to Twilight "If he say's anything more or he does anything, write to me straight away". Twilight nodded and whispered back "Yes Princess Celestia". Princess Celestia then walked away with her guards who was standing away from them, she looked back once more and gave her warmest smile 'Something tells me Joseph belongs here, only time will tell'. She and her guards walked away from their sights. Joseph was smiling as she left, it went better then he ever expected. He didn't run away that time, he was calm and truthful, she was the nicest person he ever met besides his father. Rainbow Dash pointed a hoof at him "Ha! You should have seen the look on your face when you first saw her!" she joked. Joe blushed "R-Rainbow Dash! I never met a Princess how was I suppose to react?" "Oh Princess Celestia! I kneel before you for I am not worthy!" Spike said mocking a Knight when he met a princess. Everypony laughed away, Joe looked up at the sky, tears of joy and laghter dripped from his eyes 'This world is...something I always dreamed of'.
