Equestria's First Human

A Love Stronger Than Friendship

Written by Israel Yabuki

Edited and co-written by NineTailBeastBall

Sitting on the docks, you look away from the book that you were reading in order to gaze at your reflection in the lake. There was rarely a day that went by where you didn’t have a book in your hands.

You were spending some time with yourself at a local lake in order camp out there away from all of the drama. Crashing at your parents house would’ve made it more difficult since you didn’t exactly connect with your father who would always go out gambling and your mother who went out of town on a business trip. You didn’t have any siblings to relate with you, not that you cared anyway.

In addition to not having any siblings, you didn’t have friends either. In your childhood, you were recognized as a natural prodigy and always made perfect grades in your subjects. It was kind of a disappointment as you seemed the schoolwork to be too easy and you were always expecting a greater challenge. However while you were always open to learning, you were never interested in taking time to build relationships with others.

Finding someone right for you was like finding a needle in a haystack. Today’s modern women only seek out guys who have brawn rather than brains. While you kept yourself in shape, you weren’t exactly buff. Perhaps they wanted to feel smarter or something. It didn’t matter to you anymore, this world was rotten to the core and the only thing that kept you from going insane were the books you loved to read and the sounds of the rippling water in the lake.

Sometimes in life, you wished you could be just as calm and steady like the lake and not worry about what goes on in the world. No worries, no trouble, and most importantly, no heartache. Unfortunately, reality never seems to show mercy to those who have impossible dreams. It always seems to spit everyone in the face and you wished you could take away reality and make the impossible possible.

With a sigh, you went back to reading your book, even though you probably wouldn’t find anything in there that could lift your spirit. However something quite unusual happened for you, you were actually feeling bored of reading.

You closed the book and took it with you back to the tent and placed it inside of your bag. You zipped up the tent and took this opportunity to change out of your normal clothes and throw on your swim trunks. You wondered how long has it been since you actually went for a swim since you were far more interested in reading than anything else.

Fortunately, you still knew how to swim and a little soak in the lake is something you desperately needed to soothe your cares away. You unzipped your tent and crawled out, making your way towards the lake.

It was quite hot today, the weatherman had explained that it would 97 degrees today, and boy was he right. Sweat was already starting to drip from your forehead. But after arriving at the docks again, you took in a deep breath of the fresh air and gazed at the beautiful lake. You ran to the edge of the docks and jumped right into the lake in a cannonball dive.

You quickly resurface and swam back to the docks and climbed back on. You were shivering from how cold the lake was. It felt like you just hugged a piece of Alaska.

“B-B-Blast it all! I s-s-should’ve tested the water out first!” you said, wrapping your arms around your body. After a few minutes, your body had started to get adjusted to the cold water and soon, you sighed and swam around in the lake, splashing around and diving underwater a few times, checking out the beautiful underwater life.

As much as you enjoyed observing the fish, you had to resurface to get some air. However, as you reached the surface, you heard the water begin to make weird splashing noises. Your body felt like it was being pulled by something. You reacted too late when you noticed a pool forming in the middle of the lake. You gasped and tried to swim back to shore as fast as you could, but the current was too strong.

“S-Somebody! H-Help!” you shouted, but to no avail.

The docks were getting farther and farther from your reach until you span out of control in the raging whirlpool. You tried as hard as you could to keep your head above the water, but the whirlpool sucked you down into the pit of darkness. With no chance of returning to the surface, it was becoming harder and harder to breathe and your eyes were growing heavy.

Before you knew it, you lost consciousness wondering where you will go from here. The void of darkness held you tight in its grasp, keeping you afloat in the endless abyss with no way of telling which direction was which.

Time felt like it had slowed down. There seemed to be no hope in returning to your hometown, so you accepted your fate and let the abyss keep its hold on you.

Just as you have given up on life, a light seemed to glow at the end of the tunnel. Your eyes opened up and gazed at its beautiful, bright glow. You used up your remaining strength to reach out for it. You brought yourself closer and closer until the light had blinded your vision.

As you regained your eyesight, your lower body felt like it was wet and floating around. You noticed that you were laying on some grass and your waist was covered with water. It looked like you were in a lake, but it was much smaller than the one you drowned in. You also noticed that all you had on you were the swim trunks coating your thighs.

‘Am I dead?’ you wondered as you sat up. Despite your recent experience, you felt at peace as you looked at the beautiful area around you. Feeling relaxed by the scenery you laid back and were about to take a rest when suddenly...

“AAH!!! What in Celestia’s name are you?!” screamed a female voice, making you open your eyes and jump.

“W-What the?!” you shouted and quickly turned around to see something that almost made you almost lose your head. In front of you stood a humanoid horse with light purple fur. Both her eyes and her hair were a darker shade of purple than her fur. She had a horn coming out next to the pink and light purple streaks in her hair. You also noticed she has a pair of beautiful wings protruding from her back.

Turning your attention to her clothing, you saw she was wearing a baby blue blouse with a pretty bow over her chest. She wore a purple skirt with a star sticker on it. The skirt itself went down to where it barely reached her knees. However, as for her feet, they were hooves instead.

“W-What are you?!” the two of you said in unison.

“What am I? I should be asking you that! Who are you and what do you want from me?” you asked, slightly panicking and trying to back away from her. You continued backing away until you bumped into a tree, much to your annoyance.

“Ow! Damn it!” you exclaimed, rubbing your head.

“A-Are you alright?” she asked. While there was still a hint of fear in her tone there was mostly concern. You stood yourself back up on your feet, still rubbing your head.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” you answered and took a moment to calm down. “Okay, what exactly is going on here? Why am I in some strange place I don’t even know about? And plus, last time I checked, horses aren’t humanoid and they can’t talk.”

She apparently felt offended and suddenly lights up her horn, lifting you off the ground. “Hey, first of all, I’m not a horse, I’m a pony! Second, you’re in the land of Equestria. And if you ever call me a “humanoid horse” ever again, you will be sorry!” she warned, gritting her teeth.

Despite how beautiful she was, her threats had every intention of being fulfilled if you weren’t careful of what you say.

“A-Alright, I’m sorry! It won’t happen again, I promise!” you assured holding your hands up. Seeing how that the purple pony before you began to calm down, you saw that introductions were in order and told her your name.

“Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship,” she said putting a hand to her chest out of pride. You weren’t exactly sure what she means how she’s the princess of friendship, but it sounded prestigious. Your thoughts were caught off as you shivered a bit. After all, your swim trunks were all you had on.

Seeing you shaking up from your lack of clothing, Twilight did something else that surprised you. Her horn began glowing and a blanket was materialized and levitated towards you. Deciding to save questions for later, you wrapped the blanket around your body and sighed as you felt its warmth.

“Come on, I’ll take you back to my castle and I can find you a decent change of clothes. I’ll even ask my friend, Rarity to knit you some clothes for you to wear,” Twilight said offering you her hand. Of course you hesitated at first, but you accepted her hand shortly afterwards.

‘What have I got to lose? I’m probably gonna be stuck in this world for the rest of my life, so I might as well get used to it,’ you thought to yourself. With Twilight holding your hand, you allowed her lead you into the direction to town.

It became clear to you as you walked into town which you learned was named Ponyville, that the residents have never seen anything like you before. Left and right, ponies were gasping some of them even pointing at you as you passed by. You did your best to ignore them, hoping you would arrive at Twilight’s castle soon.

In addition to the unwanted attention, you had to be careful as you walked since you didn’t have any shoes on. The pavement felt a bit hot against your bare feet, causing you to grunt in discomfort.

“Don’t worry, my castle isn’t much further and as I said before, my friend Rarity will be able to make you some clothes so you won’t have to cover yourself in that blanket,” Twilight said.

“One problem, I’m flat broke,” you pointed out.

“Then if it comes down to it, I’ll pay for your clothes. I’m well compensated for the work I’ve done for everypony,” Twilight assured.

Even if you wanted to, you probably couldn’t miss the huge castle which soon came into view. Looking at how high it is, your jaw dropped out of shock, causing Twilight to giggle. Reaching up to close your mouth, she then lit her horn to open the doors.

Entering into the castle, you saw that just like outside, the inside of the castle was made of crystal. It felt cool against your feet, but in your opinion it was better than the hot pavement outside.

“We can go back out for clothes later. For now what do you say we just relax and I’ll fix some tea?” Twilight asked.

“Sounds alright to me. After the long, exhausting day I’ve had, I’m in no rush to go back outside, especially with all those... ponies staring at me like I’m some kind of freak,” you sighed as you looked around.

Twilight has asked you to wait in the living room while she prepared the tea. It was about a 15 minute wait, but she came back, levitating two hot cups of tea with her horn. You took your cup gratefully and allowed the warm liquid to soothe your throat before you give Twilight the explanation she had requested.

“Alright, Twilight, it seems we both have quite a bit of explaining to do, so here’s what I gotta say,” you said before taking a deep breath. “You see, I’m not originally from Equestria. In fact, I’ve never even heard about Equestria up until now. I spent the majority of my life in this place called “Earth”, where I grew up in this small town in this country known as the United States.”

“The United States? I didn’t know there existed a world other than Equestria. I mean, I’ve read a few fictional stories about there being another world, but I didn’t think it was real!” Twilight said, looking surprised.

“Yes, and where I come from, there exists a lot of these creatures known as “humans,” or “homo sapiens,” and I just happen to be I’m one of the possibly hundreds of billions of humans that exist on Earth.”

Twilight gave you her complete attention as you told her about your world.

“You see, Earth is almost like your planet, but it’s probably a whole lot bigger and more intense. A lot of people live out difficult lives, just trying to make it to another day. I, however, wanted to get away from my hometown, so I took a temporary leave and headed out into this lake so I could catch up on some reading and do a little swimming, but...” you paused.

“But what?” Twilight asked carefully.

“I don’t know how it happened, but all of a sudden, this weird whirlpool appeared in the lake when I went swimming. I couldn’t swim away from it quick enough and I guess I drowned inside of it. The next thing I knew, I was out in that little lake with my feet buried in the water,” you said.

As you finished your story, Twilight put a hand over her mouth, horrified and sympathetic. “Oh Celestia...” she gasped as she put her hand back onto her lap. “Well how do you think...” she began, but stopped as you both caught the sound of footsteps, as well as a male voice.

“So anyway I went to Sugarcube Corner yesterday and I asked...” Your eyes once again widened as the source of the voice stepped inside living room. At first you thought it was a lizard and technically you were right. However as you saw the wings, you realized it was more specifically a dragon.

The one he was talking to was a pony with a lighter purple fur color than Twilight’s. She only had a horn, though, and her mane was purple with a light blue stripe running down her mane and her eyes were blue.

Things were growing a little awkward as none of you knew what to say.

“Uh Twilight... what’s going on here? Why’d you bring in some hairless ape?” the dragon asked.

“HEY!” you shouted, feeling offended. Twilight sighed as once again introductions and explanations were going to be necessary.

After taking it easy for another hour, Twilight had led you back outside so you could order some new clothes from her friend Rarity. You of course were not too thrilled about the hot pavement that was burning your feet, but Twilight assured it wasn’t that far of a walk.

You learned that the purple dragon’s name was Spike and he worked as Twilight’s assistant. The light purple unicorn on the other hand, had introduced herself as Starlight Glimmer, who was Twilight’s student. She also once tried to change the course of history just so she wouldn’t have to lose her old childhood friend. She was apparently sensitive on the concept, as she didn’t say more than that.

You found it a little easier to ignore the ponies who were observing you this time. You felt it to be too big of a step to try and become friends with these ponies so soon, however you still didn’t want them to be afraid of you. You convinced yourself as long as you kept your cool, the ponies would eventually stop looking at you as if you’re some sort of beast.

As you finished your thoughts, you and Twilight had arrived at a building which read “Carousel Boutique.” On the outside, the place looked pretty fancy.

Twilight approached the front door and knocked on it. It seemed strange that Twilight would knock on the door of a shop instead of walking in.

“Who is it?” a female voice called out in a melodic tone. It wasn’t long before the door opened, revealing a unicorn with a white coat and a curled purple mane and sapphire eyes.

“Hello Rarity. I was hoping you could take some measurements for... an acquaintance of mine,” Twilight said. She wasn’t wrong, though. Even you consider her an acquaintance after she chose to let you stay in her castle and is helping by getting you a fresh new wardrobe.

“Of course darling. Please come on in,” she said. You and Twilight stepped inside and you gazed at the many outfits that decorated the store. Rarity put on a pair of glasses before she took out a measuring tape.

“Hold still darling,” she instructed. You sighed and held your pose, sticking your arms out. Rarity measured every inch of your body, checking to see your size might be. You made sure to keep yourself still as she requested so she could do her job.

Later on, she stood back up with a smile. “Okay, darling. I think I’ve gotten the measurements I need for your brand new wardrobe. But I must say, I didn’t expect to be creating one for a hairless ape such as yourself,” Rarity said.

You sighed. “Seriously? Why is it that everyone keeps calling me a “hairless ape? I’m a human being, for pete’s sake!” you said, a bit frustrated.

“Oh dear, I’m ever so sorry. It’s just that I’ve never come across something so... exoted in Equestria, much less, Ponyville,” Rarity replied.

“I-I’m sorry I yelled. It’s been a very long day,” you said squeezing the bridge between your eyes.

“Oh it’s alright, darling. I forgive you. Now, is there any kind of style and color you want your new clothes to be?”

You spent the next several minutes describing to the fashionista what kind of clothes you wanted for your wardrobe. Paying close attention, Rarity wrote it all down on her notepad and even drew them onto her sketchbook.

“It’ll probably take about 3 hours for me to complete your wardrobe. Why don’t you come back later darling?”

“Alright, thanks, Rarity. Now what should I do while we-” you were about ask, before your stomach let out a loud growl. Twilight couldn’t help laughing a bit

“Come on, I’ll take you back to the castle and have Spike whip up something for you. But I have to ask you: What do humans eat?” Twilight asked.

“Well... we humans are omnivores so we can eat a variety of things,” you answered. You were careful with your words, since you didn’t want to alarm Twilight. You were probably scared that she might fear you if she found out you eat meat since ponies aren’t carnivores.

Twilight nodded at this new information and led you back to the castle. She had assured you that Spike was a pretty good cook and was sure he could fix something for you to eat.

At least you didn’t have to worry about going hungry for the day. And so, you and Twilight walked out of Rarity’s boutique and marched onwards back to her castle, still not used to the hot pavement below your bare feet. Hopefully after 3 hours, you won’t have to deal with that anymore.

It seems now you could finally settle down for the day as you laid in one of the guest rooms of Twilight’s castle. With a castle as big as this one, you could only guess how many rooms there were. As you and Twilight had planned, you went back to Rarity’s boutique after you finished eating and now had a fresh set of clothes.

With all the excitement that has happened today, you didn’t feel like reading, despite the huge collection of books around Twilight’s castle. All you wanted to do now was get some rest. Perhaps tomorrow when you’re rejuvenated, you can check out what kind of books Twilight has. After all, you’ve somehow ended up in an entirely different world and surely these some books include pretty much all the information about Equestrian history.

You heard a knock on the door, which snapped you out of your thoughts. Turning to the door, you saw Twilight come in with a soft smile.

“Everything okay?” she asked as she sat on the bed.

“Yeah, I’m just tired, that’s all. Why do you ask?” you asked.

“I just thought I’d check up on you and see how you’re doing. Look, I know you must have had a rough day today and I’m really sorry if everypony was making you frustrated. I guess the reason they felt so uneasy around you is because they’ve never seen humans,” Twilight said putting a hand on your shoulder.

“I’ve managed to remain calm out there. I’ve convinced myself that they’ll stop and eventually stop seeing me as some freaky beast. I just gotta give it some time, that’s all,” you said before you let out a yawn.

“I see you’re getting tired so I probably shouldn’t keep you up,” she said as she got off the bed. “If there’s anything else you need, let me know and I’ll see what I can do, okay?”

“Yeah, sure. Thanks a lot, Twilight,” you said before she left and closed the door behind her.

Once Twilight left, you slammed yourself onto your pillow, letting out an exhausted sigh. You stared up at the ceiling, thinking long and hard about how Equestria might not be such a bad place to live in. Aside from all the weird faces you were given, this town seems pretty peaceful. In your honest opinion, this world is probably a higher improvement than Earth was.
