A New Life

My Name is Xavier, God I hate my life, or...At least I used too. You see, not so long ago my life was absolutely miserable, until the unimaginable happened, coming to Ponyville...yeah that's right I said Ponyville. But hey you're not here to listen to me talk about how crappy my life was right? Well, every story starts somewhere. So sit back, relax. Come along for the ride, because this....Is my story.

It all started back when I was your everyday,  ordinary twenty year old graduating from high school,  getting a job, meeting the love of my life,  and eventually having a kid. Nobody told me how hard being a parent would be, if I had known it consisted of changing diapers and waking up at one in the morning  checking on the baby. I wouldn't have been so eager to become a dad, ah who am I kidding, I probably would've still wanted a kid anyways.

Ten years later there I am, sitting on my bed drinking a beer, as you can clearly see. And this my friends, is where the story really begins. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Like I said about one or two paragraphs ago...

__________________________________________________________________________

Xavier laid there on his bed, watching his favorite show, UFC fighting, drinking a scotch and wearing a blank white tank top, and dark blue jeans inside of a house in the countryside, He was a average weight, muscular man. His hair color was a darker shade of blonde, a slim trimmed goatee with a decent color of tan on his body. His house was about thirty minutes to an hour from any gas stations or stores, Grabbing his remote in his left hand that wasn't holding the glass of scotch. He turned down the volume upon hearing his son Jacob. Laughing extremely loudly at the television screen. Muttering a bit he sets down the scotch in his right hand on the bed rest next to his bed.

Slowly his feet started treading down the staircase to see what his son was watching, he stops upon seeing his ten year old son watching a show called My Little Pony Friendship is magic. Something he was not happy to see in the slightest and so he spoke in a loud, demanding voice towards his son. That startled his son Jacob quite badly.

"Turn that show off right now, you know I don't approve of you watching this kind of girly stuff" he scoffed.

Jacob did intact quickly turn off the television, not wanting to see his dad's wrath if he disobeyed him. The last time he disobeyed him was with some back-sass talking and resulted in him getting grounded for a week straight, not to mention a lot of very calm, scary calm talking coming from him.

This got Xavier's wife to stand up and stare at her husband. She wasn't impressed to say the least, although she didn't approve of the show herself at first. But when she sat down to watch it with Jacob, she had to admit it was very educational about friendship and how you should act towards your friends. And so she spoke with disappointment in her voice.

"Xavier, the kid loves the show and after I sat down and watched a few episodes with him I have to say it's actually a really, really good television. It teaches kid's moral lessons and-"

She was interrupted though with Xavier's hand lifting up and telling his wife to remain quiet for a few moments. Xavier had never done this to her except when he wasn't in the mood to talk after a bad day of work. Which usually consists of working with a few partners of his on the farm. Some partners being rather irritating or rude.

"Trish, look. I know he's just a kid but he needs to man up and watch actual shows for the actual gender of his age. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior"

This got his wife to shake her head in annoyance at him. After five years of raising Jacob together, Xavier had changed drastically and not for the best of wear either. Soon enough a fight began to break out between the two of them, resulting in a divorce a few months later. Even though Xavier begged her not to go. Trish had left anyways, Xavier had become a controllable father and husband to the point where she couldn't take it anymore. His depression began to sink every single day with them gone, he felt like he was slowly falling into a dark pit with no way out, no light, no anything to pull him back out. He was...lost to say the least.

Another three months passed, it was nearing Xavier's Thirty First birthday and his family still hasn't agreed to meet up with him until he got his controllable nature under control. Resulting in even more fights over the phone.

It was one evening where he was browsing the internet is when he came across the most interesting thing, a brony. But he had no clue in the slightest who or what he was, yet he proceeded to talk with him, get to know him. Eventually agreeing to meet up together at a place called Bronycon in another state. He had no clue what Bronycon meant, what it was. Or what to bring.

When he finally arrived he couldn't believe his eyes in the slightest at what he was seeing, it became so uncomfortable for him that he left in the fastest way possible.

Yet later that night in his apartment complex, he stares at his television, turning it on and even switching to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, where he watched the very first two episodes that aired. Then he felt something when the credits rolled, a tear, a single shed of a tear that began to burst into more tears, not of happiness but of sadness.

"Why am I crying over a stupid kid's show...a show made for girls, kids..."

Xavier was beyond frustrated now. As he slowly stood up from his sofa. Walking over to the nearest wall he punched it with all his might, cracking it and breaking a couple knuckles while he was at it too. Yet his sadness, his depression made him easily ignore it. Though he felt it a few minutes later. Making him wince in pain, but he still did his best to ignore the pain that was swelling in his hand.

"Forget it, I am heading to bed"

Muttering to himself. Retreating to his room, where again he cried even more. Yet refused to face the fact he was wrong about the show, and that he was the cause alone for his family leaving. But when he actually went to sleep. He began to have nightmares. Terrible ones, then the strangest thing happened. A blue light, aura even surrounding him in his nightmare and soon enough, his nightmares vanished. Upon looking up he noticed something, yet at the same-time could not make out who that figure was. But it was slightly shorter than him, had it's voice disguised and spoke in some sort of old language. Something he would've heard from movies placed in the medieval times.

"I have watched thee with my own sister young Xavier. For many years and months ago. Thou' dost' not know the true meaning of friendship. Nor dost' thou' knoweth true happiness. Seeking both of those, yet thou' is soaking in thy' own self pity? Nigh says I"

She spoke this in her own strange language. Her light still blinding Xavier to the point where he cannot see her face. And he could most definitely not make out her voice either. After all he has not watched the show enough to know it was Princess Luna, offering something that she and her sister discussed for those years and months as she just said.

"We will maketh thou' a deal. Spendeth a month in our world and discover true friendship and happiness and we will return thee to thy own world. If thou' cannot find friendship and happiness within our world. Then we shall never bother thee again, what say you Xavier" she responded.

This threw him way off guard, who was she, what was she. How did she know his name, and as he opened his mouth to reply, Luna responded for him. As she knew what he was going to say was one of negativity.

"Splendid, when thou' awakens. You will findeth yourself in a world you will not recognize at first. But giveth' time, thou' will come to realize where thouest' is. Fare thee well, Xavier."

With that she touched her horn against his forehead. Leaving him there drifting through a night sky in his dream, that felt like he was actually drifting along. Soon enough he feels massive force pushing against him, shooting across the sky like a shooting star. In-fact exactly like a shooting star, it nearly almost wakes him up. The feeling felt so real. But he knew this was a dream, he hoped this was a dream at least.

The several hours pass, ponies wandering all around Ponyville, Xavier being asleep right in the middle of the road as well. That a stallion, listening to music on some headphones, doesn't even notice Xavier. Thus resulting in that hoof stepping right onto his left hand. Which causes Xavier to bolt wide awake with a blood curdling, painful scream in his voice.

Then he stops in the middle of his scream, when an all too familiar Pink Pony gets right up in his face.

"Oooo! Don't think I've ever seen you before, then again I've never really seen one of you thing's before. OH! OH! maybe your a really, really, REALLY tall hairless pony that walks on two legs, hm wait a second I don't know your muzzle is really, really short. Nah you're definitely not a pony, hehehe I should know because I've met all sorts of creatures!"

This got Xavier to be mighty uncomfortable, but deep inside he found it quite humorous. Then Pinkie Pie puts a hoof into that big curly pink mane of hers. Only to pull out a wallet of photos that unfolds and begins to stretch out for miles. Something that Xavier's brain was trying to process.

Xavier didn't know what to think of this situation except maybe think this pink pony's rambling was getting a little irritating. Soon enough he actually plugs his ears and starts to walk through the streets of ponyville. Pinkie Pie not really noticing she's annoying him at first though, which she follows him, turns her neck a full 360 degrees several times, climbs all over him. Fits in his jeans pockets, defying physics and so on. The usual Pinkie Pie.

"Would you stop!"

Which this got Pinkie Pie to stop pretty quickly, even though she had so many more things to say, after all it was Pinkie Pie. But then a pegasi with cyan fur and a rainbow mane floats down and stares at him, flapping her wings to stay in the air but also be a few inches from his reach.

"Sorry about that, Pinkie Pie can really get ahead of herself sometimes, was watching her talking your ears off. But I do have to agree with Pinkie Pie, never seen you around before. Let alone a single thing that looks like you"

Xavier scratched his goatee along his face, he also noticed this pony's appearance yet he couldn't exactly pinpoint what her name was, or where he was. Though Pinkie Pie did sound a little familiar, just a little. As Rainbow Dash was actually a pony he could relate to, in terms of her stubborn personality of course.

"Forgive me for asking but, where am I, and...who are you?"

He asked this in curiosity. More so because he wanted to clear things up. This got Rainbow Dash to blink, looking at Xavier like he was crazy, crossing her fore-hooves over her chest. She responds with the most cockiest, stubborn voice she's done in a longtime.

"You've got to be joking me, like really you've got to be joking. This is Ponyville, and the name is Rainbow Dash, wonder extraordinaire. Fastest flyer in ALL of Equestria. Coolest pony around! Like 20% cooler than most of these ponies. Wielder of the element of loyalty!"

she grinned all proud like after those words. Xavier blinked looking at her like she was crazy

"I'm sorry did you just say i'm in Ponyville? and you're Rainbow Dash? please don't make me laugh. If you were really Rainbow Dash, and this is Ponyville then from what I've heard about this place is there's supposed to be a big massive rainboom. I think that's what it's called anyways..."

Rainbow Dash could only glare for a few moments before giving a smirk "Oh yeah? Watch this!" and with a very quick yet loud WOOSH, leaving behind a rainbow trail in her wake, she shoots upwards, high into the sky. Only to do a full sharp turn and come down twice as fast, the wind and pressure blowing against her, then breaking the sound barrier before suddenly a big BOOM! happens, a massive circle of rainbow colors spreading across the sky. Which Rainbow dash does back-flips in the air until she lands right in-front of Xavier with a smug grin on her face.

"Toldcha, no one is as good as me" she grinned

It took a few moments for Xavier to take in what he just saw, his green eyes scanning left to right, his head turning with his eyes. Both hands going onto the sides of his head, staring up at the sky he screams as loud as he can, which gets Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie to jump a bit in being startled.  Then looking confused when Xavier shouts his next words...

"I AM IN PONYVILLE?!?!"
