The Human of Equestria
Chapter 4: Ponyville, Equestria
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe walked through the town. My face turned from fascinated to confused as I saw all of the ponies seem to poof out of existence. Twilight laughed nervously as she saw this happen. "S-Sorry, this happens whenever something new comes to Ponyville."
She explained to me. I looked around once more. What was once a colorful cheery town is now nothing but a ghost town! The only way I knew that there were still ponies around was because they were peeking out their windows.
"Can we find a place to talk privately? I feel like I'm being watched..." I said, knowing fully well that I WAS infact being watched. Twilight nodded and before I knew it we were standing in front of the large crystal tree castle. "So, who's castle is this?"
"Oh!ThiscastlebelongstoTwilight!ThoughitCOULDbeallofoursbecausetherearebigthroneswithourcutiemarksonthem!ItwasmadewhenaweirdglowycrystalboxwentZOOMandflewawayintothegroundandthen---"
Thankfully, AppleJack blocked Pinkie's talking hole with a hoof. "Sorry 'bout her. She can get....out of hoof at times." She said with a smile. I didn't understand a word Pinkie said, but I'm sure I'll get the translation from Twilight later.
We stepped into the castle, which was a LOT bigger on the inside then it looked on the outside. Everything seemed to sparkle and shimmer because of it's crystal architecture. Rainbow Dash flew up next to me and lifted my jaw back into place. I didn't realize my jaw was dropped from it's beauty.
We walked to a large room, which had 6 thrones, circling around a table that seemed to have a map on it. I watched as the mares sat in the thrones that matched the marks on their flanks. I was unsure where to sit so I just stood between two of the thrones.
"So, can you tell me where I am exac---" I was once again, rudely cut off. This time by Pinkie's loud gasp. "OH MY GOSH! I need to make a surprise party for Mitchie! But nopony tell him! Bye!" And in an instant, she was gone. It was like she had no idea that I was right next to her.
I stayed quiet for a minute or two, to be sure that I wouldn't be cut off again. I was cut off like 5 times already, I wasn't gonna let it happen again. "...So where exactly am I?" I finally asked, and Twilight once again was more than happy to answer.
"Well, you're in Ponyville, Equestria. Equestria is the country we live in, right next to the Griffen country." Well, there are griffons, good to know. "Now, about your house..." She said, catching me about to zone out. "I was wondering if you could show me around. I'd love to learn about humans even more. Their history, biology, stories..."
I couldn't help but smile at her interest in humans. I nodded. "Uh, sure. I'll be happy to show you around. Besides, I'm getting hungry. Why don't you all come back to my place and we can watch a movie or something?" Pinkie suddenly appeared in my lap. Only god knows how. "A movie?! I have no idea what that is but it sounds fun!"
While walking back to the house after even more questioning about what a movie is and how it works, I wondered what happened to my family. Did the house just teleport without them or something? Was this house a copy? And did my electricity still work?
My question would be answered as I stepped inside, flicking the light switch. I smiled as the lights turned on. I had no clue how they still worked. Maybe...idk...magic?
I brought them into the kitchen, wondering what to give them. Fruit, sugar cookies, pretzels, cheez-its... "I'll take the sugar cookies!" I smiled and nodded, giving Pinkie the sugar cookies. I soon realized that she somehow read my mind.
"How'd you do that?" I asked her. Hearing the question, she just looked at me curiously. "How'd I do what?" She sounded so innocent while asking that question it hurt. I don't know why but it did. "How'd you---you read my--you know what? Nevermind." I said, ending that confusing conversation.
I led them to the living room, there wasn't much. A big couch and a recliner...a tv...a fireplace...that was basically it. I grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, and the mares stared at the glowing screen, sitting on the couch as they watched.
I looked for a movie to play, I didn't wanna play anything violent, it would give them a bad impression of the human race. I decided to play The Avengers. Sure, not the best choice. But it's about super heroes, saving the world, and it's one of the only movies I owned that wouldn't give them a bad impression of humans.
They happily watched the movie, especially Rainbow Dash. I could tell her favorite was Iron Man. Whenever he came on screen, she smiled a smile that I dared to say was adorable.
I looked over to Fluttershy, who had gotten into these books filled with pictures of my family. My mom made those every so often and she started making them back in 2010. Her eyes drifted to pictures of my dog, Bosco.
"Um...excuse me? Mr. Mitchell? Who's this?" She asked, pointing her hoof to the dog. I smiled and I sat down on the floor next to her. "Just call me Mitchell Fluttershy. That's my dog, Bosco." I said, giving her a warm smile.
She smiled back a bit. Ok, I'm breaking through to her. I could hear AppleJack and Rainbow Dash arguing. I looked up, noticing they were just arguing over who'd win, Thor or Iron Man. What brought that up was the fight scene. I totally forgot about this scene!
AppleJack didn't seem to really care about this argument, but Rainbow Dash was definitely not standing down, until the scene ended that is. "Aw, he's cute. W-Where is he? If you don't mind me asking.." Fluttershy said, looking up at me.
I wasn't sure how to answer. I didn't think he was dead, but I had no idea where him or the rest of my family was. "Well...I'm not sure. None of my family was here when I woke up..." I said quietly.
I must've looked pretty sad, because Fluttershy put a hoof on my leg and nuzzled her head against my arm. "Don't worry, I'm sure their ok." She said reassuringly. Fluttershy was so kind, I couldn't help but give her a wide smile. I was really tempted to hug her.
I may not know what happened to my family...but I wouldn't mind spending another day with these girls...
