Episode One: Enter Humanville

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Twilight Sparkle was a 19 year old human girl who had just moved out of her parent's house. She was accompanied by her 10 year old adopted son Spike Sparkle.

Twilight and Spike were on a bus going to the town of Humanville Humania. Humania was the very country she lived in; which was ruled by Queen Celestia, who also happened to be Twilight's personal teacher.

"So Twilight? Why are we moving all the way to Humanville when we can just live in Canterlot?" Spike asked while they were seated on the bus.

Twilight patted Spike on the head, "Because Spike, I got a job at the local library in Humanville."

Spike rolled his eyes, "But why down in Humanville when there're plenty of libraries back home?"

"Because Spike, the other libraries have enough librarians; this place hasn't. And besides, aren't you excited about this. I sure am."

Spike made a small giggle, "I guess. It's just I'm used to Canterlot."

Again Twilight patted Spike, "I understand. And don't worry, I'm sure we'll make plenty of friends."

The bus came to a stop, they were there.

"This is it Spike, Humanville." Twilight and Spike picked up their knapsacks and stepped out of the bus, then they made their way to the Humanville Public Library.

On their way they met up with a pink haired girl.

"Oh hi there." Twilight said happily.

"AAAUGHH!" The pink haired girl screamed and ran off.

Spike and Twilight looked towards where she went.

"That was weird." Stated Spike.

"Excuse me miss." Said a voice behind them.

They turned around and found a middle aged woman with grey hair and a younger blond woman wearing a stetson hat behind them.

"Hello are you Twilight Sparkle?" Asked the middle aged woman.

"Yes I am."

The blond girl stepped towards Twilight and began shaking her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Sparkle. My name is Applejack and I welcomes y'all to Humanville, the friendliest town in all of Humania."

Twilight released her hand from Applejack, that girl had one major grip.

"Glad to meet you too Applejack." Said Twilight, "I just got a job as the librarian at the local library."

'As apposed to what? The librarian at the local butcher shop?' Thought Spike.

The middle aged woman stepped forward, "I am the mayor of this town and I'm here personally to let you know that Applejack will give you the grand tour of our fair town."

Twilight smiled, "Thanks but Spike and I would rather get settled at the library first."

"Oh of course Twilight." Said Applejack, "I'll show you the way."

Twilight and Spike proceeded to follow Applejack to their destination.

As the were walking Twilight turned to Applejack, "So, where do you live?"

"I live at the local apple orchard called Sweet Apple Acres with my big brother Big Mac, my grandmother Granny Smith, and my little sister Applebloom."

Applejack then turned to Spike, "And who's this?"

"I'm Spike." Spike said proudly.

"He's my foster son." Twilight explained.

Applejack raised an eyebrow, "I didn't know they let anyone who just left their parent's house to be fosterers?"

"Normally no, but Spike was found in a dumpster as a baby by Celestia herself and eventually she decided that I was the best one to be his guardian."

Just then they came upon the library. It was made to look like a tree, but wasn't really a tree.

"Well it was nice meeting you." Said Applejack as she waved goodbye and left.

Twilight pulled out the keys she was given when she first got the job, only to find the door to be already unlocked.

"Strange, why would the door be..." Twilight whispered as she opened the door.

"SURPRISE!!"

In the library stood the pink haired girl from earlier and a large group of people.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie I threw this party just for you. Were you surprised? HUH huh, were you?" Said the pink haired girl in a way that sounded like she had caffeine in her veins instead of blood.

"Yeah, very surprised." Laughed Twilight, "Libraries are supposed to be quiet."

"Oh that's silly. What kind of welcome party would it be if it was quiet? I mean 'duh' BORING." Said Pinkie.

"True." Twilight giggled, "But Spike and I were kinda wanting to get settled in before we do anything special."

"But there's punch." Joke whined Pinkie.

"But how'd you get in here without a key?" Asked Spike.

"My skeleton key of course." Pinkie answered while mussing Spike's hair.

"Well, let us put our stuff away then we'll have some punch." Said Twilight.

"Okie dokie lokie." Cheered Pinkie.

Twilight and Spike entered the living quarters of the library, and began to empty their bags.

"Well, this town sure is friendly." Said Twilight.

Spike giggled, "It sure is. I just hope there are kids my age to hang with."

Once they finished, Spike and Twilight came to join the party goers.

"Hi there!" Shouted Pinkie Pie, "Allow me to introduce you to everyone." Pinkie picked both Twilight and Spike up and carried them over her shoulders.

"This is Cheerilee. She teaches at the Humanville Schoolhouse."

"This is Lyra Heartstrings."

"This is Colgate."

"This is Derpy."

Pinkie carried the two over to each and every party goer. Then finally put them down in front of the punch bowl.

"So how do you like it here so far?" Asked Pinkie.

Twilight giggled once again, "I like it."

"It's okay." Said Spike.

Pinkie lowered her head towards Spike's, "Is there a problem?"

"Oh no mam, it's just I don't see any kids around." Answered Spike.

"Just a sec." Pinkie said then left in a flash and came back with three girls.

"This here is Scootaloo." Said said pointing towards the girl with a moderate cerise hair color.

"This is Sweetie Belle." She pointed to the pinkish colored hair girl in a white dress.

"And lastly Applebloom." Pinkie pointed towards the red haired girl.

"Applebloom?" Asked Spike, "Aren't you sisters with Applejack?"

"Yep. Why, have you met her?" Asked Applebloom.

"That's correct." Answered Spike.

"So..." Scootaloo said rubbing the back of her head, "Whatcha wanna do?"

"Ooh ooh let's play pin the tail on the donkey!" Cheered Sweetie Belle.

"Awesome!" Exclaimed Spike. The four children then ran off to play.

Twilight turned to Pinkie, "So Pinkie Pie, what do you do for a living?"

"I'm a professional party thrower, and I work at the bakery Sugarcube Corner." Proudly answered Pinkie.

"Cool."

Then a rainbow haired girl showed that Pinkie introduced earlier as Rainbow Dash showed up.

"Hey there." Rainbow proceeded to shake Twilight's hand (this time gently), "My name is Rainbow Dash, the fastest person in all of Humania."

"Hi Rainbow Dash; I hope we can all be friends." Said Twilight.

"I'm that awesome, aren't I." Bragged Rainbow Dash.

Twilight silently snickered at Rainbow's boastfulness, "So what do you do Rainbow?"

"I'm a meteorologist." Rainbow said while proudly placing her fists against her sides, "I predict the local weather."

"That sounds cool." Said Twilight. She hoped this woman and her would share interests in science.

"It sure is." Said Rainbow Dash, "But what I REALLY want to do is join the Wonderbolts."

Twilight rolled her eyes; she wasn't in to sports; but who could HONESTLY find the Wonderbolts to be interesting. All they do is run around a field. Anyone can do that; possibly even in their sleep.

"If you say so." Said Twilight.

Then the one named Cheerilee showed up, "Hi there Twilight Twinkle."

"It's 'Sparkle' actually." Corrected Twilight.

"Oh, sorry."

"That's okay...Cheerilee was it?"

"Correct." Answered Cheerilee, "I teach at the local schoolhouse. And let me tell you, around here it's tricky because I have to teach grades 1-12."

"Really?" Asked a surprised Twilight, "I didn't know they still had schools like that these days."

"Well my school sure does."

Twilight then realized something, "Speaking of which, when do you think Spike can get enrolled?"

Cheerilee shrugged, "I'd have to file paperwork first, and I'd have to see him first."

Cheerilee took a sip of the punch she was holding, "Who's Spike? Your brother?"

Twilight shook her head, "My foster child actually." She then pointed towards him, "That boy with the green hair playing pin the tail on the donkey is him."

Pinkie Pie interrupted, "Aw come on you spoil sports; you can work later right now it's time to play."

Pinkie Pie leaped away.


That night after the party Twilight and Spike were in the bathroom brushing their teeth while wearing their nighties.

"This place may not be that bad Twilight." Said Spike.

Spike spat his toothpaste into the sink and began to gargle.

"Yeah." Said Twilight who also spat out her toothpaste, "I guess your silly foster mother didn't make a mistake, did she Spike?"

The two left the bathroom and headed towards the bedroom.

Spike crawled into his bed and fell asleep.

Twilight crawled into her bed, then turned off her lamp.

"Sweet dreams Spike."
