The Adventures of Darkhorse

Darkhorse stood there in the middle of Ponyville Town Square, surrounded by pictureesque buildings and pastel colored equines, not even horses really, more like ponies. These particular... ponies had seeming just noticed him standing there after his... outburst.

Now, Darkhorse wasn't exactly the most... friendly looking stallion. What with his completely black body, mane, and tail, coupled with his ice blue eyes and spiky-looking mane and tail most ponies wouldn't think twice about running away screaming. Thank whatever gods there were that the ponies around him didn't start to panic. That would have been... well, it wouldn't have been good.

Anyways, back to the staring ponies... Darkhorse stood there looking... well, looking a bit nervous. Despite his appearance and usual aloof not-care-what-you-think-or-who-you-are/kind-happy-or-easily-excited demeanor he still did not like being stared at by more than three ponies... or even any number of ponies. Especially not pro-longed staring... and especially by mares. Mares especially. The main reason he normally spent little to no time with other horses inother dimensions was because mares usually wouldn't leave him alone. Gods help him he was befriended by mares here... oh who was he kidding, he didn't see a single stallion standing around staring at him here. It was like one of those horrible dreams where your surrounded by mares staring, laughing, or whatever at you after you did something completely stupid.

While Darkhorse was thinking about this, he wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings other than the staring mares. Due to this, he was not ready when a pink blur ran straight into him... and out the other side.

"How the..." Darkhorse started then stopped himself. How did she get through him? He knew he didn't turn off his wierd-as-heck Void powers, so no-one, well nopony could touch him with without being pulled straight into the void-stuff that he was created out of. But that pink... thing had just passed right through him. It should have been sucked into his body and transported to the Void from which Darkhorse had just came. Darkhorse decided to dwell on this a little later.

Before he did anything he made the conscious descision to make his body solid. As he did so his features became more defined. What was once just darkness turned into a tangible mane, tail, pelt, and hooves. This all happened faster than a normal being could see, but amazingly, the pink thing saw it! Obviously something was wrong with this plane of existance.

The pink thing... the pink pony, actually, gasped long and loud.

"Oh my gosh! What was that?! That was such an awesome trick! Can you do it again? Of course you can! So, anyways, what's your name!? I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, but all my friends call me Pinkie Pie, and everypony is my friend!" The pink pony, this Pinkie Pie, babbled without pause for breath.

As Pinkie Pie rambled on about parties and smiling and friends and whatnot, Darkhorse began getting a little annoyed. He waited. She didn't stop. He waited longer. She stilld didn't stop. He waited so long that even the staring ponies had gotten bored staring and went about their business. After all, who cares about a stallion who actually listens to the mare known as Pinkie Pie.

"Alright! Hold on for a moment!" Darkhorse exclaimed, finally getting fed up.

Pinkie immediatly stopped talked and took another deep squealing breath.

"Thank you." Darkhorse began, "Let me answer your questions, okay? Okay. In order; That was nothing important, yes I can do it again, no I will not, my name is Darkhorse, and it's very... nice to meet you."

Once he finished, Darkhorse waited for a moment. Then he waited another. And another. He looked at Pinkie inquisitively as if to say 'Well? Are you going to say something?'.

"Can I speak now?" Pinkie dared to whisper.

"Uh... Yeah." Darkhorse said, as if it were obvious.

"Oh good! It's nice to meet you too Darkhorse. That's a funny name, isn't it?" Darkhorse raised an eye at that, but let the pink pony continue. "Anyways, since your new in town I bet you want to go look around! Since you obviously do, I'll let you get to it! Come by Sugarcube Corner later for your welcome to town PARTY!" And with that, Pinkie was off at a gallop to the shop that looked like a faux gingerbread house with a sign reading 'Sugarcube Corner'.

"That was... enlightening, I guess." Darkhorse said to himself. Inside his head he was trying to figure out why he was here. After a few moments of standing in the middle of what was obviously the town square, Darkhorse decided to take that mare Pinkie Pie's advice and look around the town.

"Where to start... where to st-"

"Howdy!" A specifically countrypony voice exclaimed, interupting Darkhorse's sentence.

"Oh gods." Darkhorse muttered. 'Somepony from the country. Great.'

"You seem to be new here. My name is Applejack. Would you like a guide?"
