Author's Note

A huge shout out to Blanks and Bronyhood of Steel for helping me figure out ideas for this chapter. Couldn't have done it without them.

A New World

Spike sat at the crystalline table with a cup of tea sitting before him, as he looked around at the ponies who seemed to just stare at him. Twilight Sparkle, or rather, the Twilight of the new world that he found himself in, was an Alicorn Princess of Friendship. She was wearing a dark blue shirt with the sleeves stopping halfway down her upper-arm, gently hugging her ample C cup breasts, and a pair of loose-fitting jeans that had sparkle patterned stitching along the legs. Next to her was Rarity, the Element of Generosity. She was a pure white unicorn with a royal purple mane and tail that were curled in such a way, you could mistake her for one of the Canterlot Elite, had you not known who she was. Her black dress both hugged and accentuated her curves, especially her full looking D cup breasts, showing her love for fashion, and her desire to hopefully find her ‘Prince Charming.’ Of course, Spike wanted to tell her right away that there was no such thing, but reminded himself that she could probably blast him through the wall if he wasn’t careful.

“So, yer tellin’ us that you’re actually from another world?” Applejack, the Element of Honesty asked. She was an earth pony with a coat so light orange, you’d think it was a natural tan. Her blonde mane and tail were done up in ponytails and tied at the ends, undoubtedly so they didn’t get in her way when doing her chores on the farm at Sweet Apple Acres. She wore a red and white plaid button up shirt that was tucked loosely into a pair of worn out jeans. Her supple, yet firm looking D cup breasts lightly showed through the cleavage of her shirt.

“I find it fishy at best.” Rainbow Dash added in. She was the Element of Loyalty, and the fastest pony alive, as she was currently the only one able to pull off a Sonic Rainboom. Her flight suit was a little baggy on her, but not unattractively so, as it lightly hugged her B cup breasts, the blues and yellows of the Wonderbolts reserve suit were still as proudly bold as ever, showing off her love for her team. “I bet it’s all just an act to catch us off guard.”

“Hmm…. I don’t know…” a fire-orange mare replied. She introduced herself as Sunset Shimmer, and she was the assistant to Twilight in this world. “We’ve dealt with alternate dimensions before, if you recall the mirror that Twilight and I went into?” She said, looking at Rainbow from a book she was reading about dragons. This mare was wearing black pants, and a bright orange t-shirt under a black, unzipped jacket, that tightly hugged her firm CC cup breasts.

Twilight sighed, drawing everyone’s attention back to her and the topic at hand. “He might actually be telling the truth, seeing as Celestia, Luna and I are the only 3 powerful enough to actually create a portal to another world.” She reminded her friends before turning to Spike again. “But why did I send you here?”

“Well, my old life wasn’t exactly pleasant. I don’t exactly want to say why, though.” He told them, looking haunted by what transpired in his past. “Maybe…. If I become more confident, I can tell you, but, it still haunts me.”

“That’s fine, dear.” Rarity replied, giving him a soft smile after he finished speaking. “We completely understand.”

“Yeah, besides, y’all have proven that yer not gonna do anythin’ against us, so Ah don’t see why we can’t help ya.” Applejack adden in, smiling as well.

“A-are you sure? I don’t want to be a burden on you guys…” He told them, looking down at his folded hands.

“You won’t be a burden.” Sunset interjected. “I’m sure there are tons of stuff you can do around the castle for us.”

“But, when I woke up and started speaking, Flutter- the Fluttershy of this world ran away, completely afraid of me,” Spike started. “Are you sure other ponies won’t have the same reaction?”

It was a legitimate fear coming from him. Pinkie Pie - the one from this universe of course - and a pony named Starlight Glimmer had to chase after and comfort Fluttershy after she nearly ran through a wall to get away from the ‘monstrous dragon’.

“Hmm… you may have a point there…” Twilight pondered as she rubbed her chin thoughtfully between her index finger and her thumb. “The only solution I can see is we each take turns showing you around the town and introducing you to ponies that we know will actually try to get to know you.” She suggested, and - to the surprise of Spike - the other girls agreed with her plan.

“So who should show him around first?” Rainbow asked Twilight, no doubt just wanting to get it done and over with so she could go back to training.

“Ah’ll do it.” Applejack interjected before Twilight could make a suggestion. “Ah’m more likely to be trusted at first.” She reminded the purple alicorn.

“Oh, yeah,” Sunset suddenly remembered, smacking her fist into her open palm. “You’re really bad at lying. I forgot.”

“Ah’m gonna pretend Ah didn’t hear that.” the orange farm-mare replied as she stood up. “Whelp, we’d best get started if’n we’re gonna introduce y’all to everyone in time.” She told Spike.

He just nodded before standing up and following her towards the castle’s entrance.

Spike followed Applejack down a dirt path between chest high wooden fences that seperated large apple fields from the main path. “This here is just the back fields of Sweet Apple Acres, mah family’s farm.” She explained as they continued down the path. “We’ll be coming up on the barn and house soon.”

Spike was in awe, for a lack of a better term. All of this was just her family’s back fields? He had heard that her farm was big, but this was just ridiculous.

As they continued walking along the path, a big red barn that was easily 2 stories tall stood proudly, towering next to a smaller green wooden house that was also 2 stories tall, but still somehow shorter than the barn by comparison.

“Welcome tah mah home, Spike.” Applejack told him, smiling at him. “Wait here a tick, Ah’m gonna go get mah brother and granny so y’all can get properly introduced.” She promised before heading off toward the house. He wanted to ask her to wait, but, decided against it. This was her home after all, so, he had no choice but to just agree with her request.

After a few minutes, he saw her coming back outside with an elderly looking mare with light green fur, the exact same color as a granny smith apple. Her white mane was done up in a loose bun, while her tail was slowly swaying behind her as she walked with her granddaughter towards him, wearing a yellow sun dress that flowed down below her knees.

The pony behind them, however, made Spike’s heart almost stop from fear. He was an intimidatingly large Stallion, his fur a bright red which barely concealed the coiled muscles in his arms, making Spike think that the stallion could snap him in two like a toothpick. His mane and tail were short, and a slightly darker blonde than Applejack’s almost bleach blond mane and tail. He wore a dark green t-shirt that barely contained the ripping muscles along his body, and a pair of blue denim jeans.

This was going to be a long day for Spike.
