Episode Two: Around Humanville

Previous Chapter

It was Sunday, so the library didn't open until the next day. Twilight decided to have a look around town.

The first place she found that she recognized was Sugarcube Corner. The place was closed but A woman with light crimson hair was in front of the place sweeping the place.

"Hi there mam, are you the owner or manager of this place?" Twilight asked the woman.

The woman smiled and said, "My husband and I both co own this place yes; how may I help you deary?"

"Yeah, I was wondering if you knew where Pinkie Pie lived." Said Twilight.

"Oh she lives here with me and my husband. She currently upstairs." Answered the woman, who then realized something, "Oh heavens to Betsy where are my manners; hi there, my name's Cup Cake. What's yours?"

"My name's Twilight Sparkle, and I just got a job at the local library."

"Glad to meet you Ms. Sparkle." Said Cup Cake.

"It's nice to meet you." Twilight smiled, "But is it okay if I go say hi to Pinkie?"

Cup smiled, "Go ahead deary."

Twilight made her way up the stairs, where she met Pinkie.

"Hi Twilight!" Said Pinkie.

"Hey Pinkie, I hope you aren't too busy, but I was hoping you could help me find Sweet Apple Acres." Said Twilight.

"Oh it's no trouble at all Twilight, I've got plenty of time." Pinkie said and the two went off to Applejack's.

On their way there they came upon a light pink haired girl.

"Hey there pal." Cheered Pinkie Pie.

"Hi there." Said the pink haired girl.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Asked Twilight.

"I said 'Hi there." Said the pink haired girl.

"Um...okay..." Said Twilight.

"Oh don't worry about her Twilight, she's not very social. her name is Fluttershy." Said Pinkie as the two went on their way.

"Bye." Whispered Fluttershy. No one heard her.

Twilight and Pinkie made it to Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight was amazed at how many apple trees there were.

"This is amazing." Said Twilight.

"It sure is isn't it." Said a voice to their right.

They turned and saw Applejack carrying a basket of apples.

"Hi Applejack." Said Twilight, "The library doesn't open until tomorrow so I decided to explore and say hi to my new friends."

"Sounds good Twilight." Said Applejack, who turned towards her house, "I'll just be taking these apples inside and I'll join you."

Twilight went to Applejack, "But aren't you a bit busy?"

Applejack laughed, "Nah, I just needed to bring these apples inside and that'll be all I need to do for today."

Twilight and Pinkie followed AJ in the house where they saw an elderly woman sleeping in a rocking chair.

"Hey Granny, we got guests." Applejack said to the elderly woman.

"Huh...Wha..." Stirred the woman. She then noticed Pinkie and Twilight so she smiled, "Well hey there Pinkie Pie and..."

"Twilight. Twilight Sparkle." Answered Twilight.

"Well howdy do Ms. Twilight; we here at Sweet Apple Acres sure love meeting new friends." Said the woman, "By the way, my name's Granny Smith."

Suddenly there was a crash.

Everyone turned towards the source of the crash and saw a baseball had broken the window.

Suddenly Applebloom ran inside shouting, "I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE DON'T GROUND ME!"

Granny Smith got up from her rocking chair and approached Applebloom, "Listen here Applebloom Apple!" Granny Smith only used her full name when she was mad, "I've told you a million times not to throw things towards the house, you need to throw things AWAY from the house."

Applebloom sniffled, "Am I in trouble?"

Granny Smith nodded, "You are. And as punishment I'll be deducting the window damages from your allowance."

"WHAT!?" Shouted Applebloom.

Meanwhile Twilight turned to Applejack and quietly said to her, "Can we go now? I don't wanna get any more involved in your family's private matters."

"No problem." Answered Applejack, "I'm finished with my chores Grandma, so I'll be showing Twilight around town."

"Okay dear." Granny said then turned back to Applebloom.

Pinkie, Twilight, and Applejack started on their way through town.

As they moved around town, they stumbled upon Rainbow Dash who joined them on their tour.

"By the way, I heard you're the personal student of Queen Celestia herself." Rainbow said to Twilight.

Twilight blushed, "Yeah, yes I am."

The others all raised their eyes and stared at Twilight in surprise.

"Did I hear what I think I heard?" Asked a voice.

The voice came from a woman with indigo colored hair.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, "Oh it's you."

"Hi Rarity." Happily cheered Pinkie Pie.

Rarity grabbed Twilight by her shirt and started shouting, "You are the personal student of Celestia herself? I...I...I'm almost speechless."

Rarity then fainted.

Applejack helped Rarity up, "If for a second you think that THAT's all that makes her a good friend..."

"Oh good heavens no." Said Rarity getting back up, "I'm just super excited about seeing someone who knows the queen herself."

"So..." Said Twilight to Rarity, "What do you do for a living?"

Rarity opened her eyes wide, "Who moi? Why I own the local boutique Carousel Boutique."

"Glad to meet you, my name's Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said offering to shake Rarity's hand.

Rarity and Twilight shook hands.

Twilight then realized something, "Oh girls, we better make a quick stop at the library; I need to check on Spike."

Rarity raised an eyebrow, "Isn't the library closed, and who's Spike?"

"Oh I'm the new librarian there, and Spike is my foster child." Explained Twilight.

As they made their way towards the library Rainbow whispered in Applejack's ear 'Egghead."


"Spike?" Twilight called as they entered the library.

Spike was reading one of his comic books on an armchair, "Hey Twilight."

"Just making sure you're okay Spike." Said Twilight.

"Oh I'm fine. Just reading The Power Folks."

"Okay, if you're sure." Twilight then left with her new friends.

As they were continuing on their tour Applejack said to Twilight, "Is it really a good idea to leave him alone like this?"

"Oh sure, the worst thing he'll do is not do chores that I ask of him. But I didn't really ask him to do any today." Said Twilight.

Applejack sighed, "If you say so sugarcube."

The next stop was at Rainbow Dash's house. It was a white colored dome shaped house with a waterfall on the one side and the door on the other, plus two stain-glass windows and a skinny chimney (the kind made for wood-burning stoves, and it even had a small moat around it and a tiny stone bridge.

"This is my place. Ain't it awesome?" Said Rainbow Dash.

It was certainly unusual, but the good kind, "I like it Rainbow." Said Twilight.


Later that night, Twilight crawled into bed. She had a nice tour.

Although some of the buildings were strange. The library is made to look like a tree, Sugarcube Corner looks like it's made of candy, Rainbow's house looks like a cross between a future styled house and something out of a fairy tale, Applejack's house is in the shape of a barn (but isn't actually the barn), and Rarity's boutique is called CAROUSEL Boutique but doesn't look anything like a carousel.

Twilight giggled to herself, "All apart of this nice town's charm."
