Chapter 2: The New Guy In Town, Part 2: Motion Sickness.
May 30, 2010. 3:00, P.M.
Equestria, Ponyville.
"Ahh, It feels good to be out of that stuffy place," I said as I stretched out my arms and legs receiving a satisfying pop! for my efforts. Twilight had been talking with the Doc inquiring about my dietary needs as well as my general overall health. I was good to go and as fit as I could get. I was told to take it easy and not overtax myself, so as we left Twilight informed me that I would be spending the next two weeks at her place.
"You'll be able to read up on our history, culture, math, and a whole lot more," She stated as we continued on to Sweet Apple Acres. I just chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Can't wait Twilight," I stated as we walked up the dirt road. Soon, however, we were flanked on both sides by walls of apple trees.
I let out a whistle of amazement. "Man the show really doesn't do it justice." That had gotten Twilight's attention. "You still haven't told us much about this show you keep talking about." I just shrugged my shoulders. "There really isn't much to tell other than what I've already said." I thought about it. "I only watched the first few episodes of the first season so I'm as in the dark about all this,-" I waved my hand all around our surroundings. "-as one can get." Twilight wanted to protest my simple answer but she was interrupted by Rainbow whooshing in.
"Come on slowpokes! Aj said to get a move on or we'll all be old by the time you get there." I just laughed while Twilight grumbled to herself. "Fine, we'll be there in a second." She waved a hoof at Dash letting her know to go on back. Dash obliged and a second later she was gone in a blur. "Wow. That's impressive." Twilight just smiled. "You think that's cool check this out." She said igniting her horn. "Check what-" Josephs question was cut off by a bright flash, then the sensation of his insides mashing together then stretching, and then just when he thought he was going to break all of his molecules snapped back together and he was whole again and standing outside of the farmhouse.
Applejack saw the two of them teleport in and she gave them a wave. "Well howdy y--" She stopped as she got a good look at Joseph who was rooted to the spot he had appeared and giving off a look of utter horror.
"Um, sugar cube?" She asked stepping towards him. "You alright?" His eyes briefly glanced at Applejack before they snapped back to the ground he had been staring at. He then promptly threw up the contents of his stomach and flopped down to the ground like a wet noodle. A small stampede was brought to Josephs attention as he lay there trying to catch his breath. "Oh God what was that?" He tried to calm down as his body shuddered from the violent spasms racking his body.
"Uhg I hate throwing up." He said as he felt somepony pushing him up into a sitting position. He looked up and saw the biggest pony he had yet to see. "Holy hell you're huge." He quivered as a hand shot to his mouth. Big Mac just chuckled.
"I get that a lot. You must be the guest of honor." He then sat down and let Joseph get his breathing under control as he leaned on his sturdy frame to recuperate. "Thanks for the help Mac." Joseph looked around to see the rest of the group giving him all worried looks. He then let his gaze fall upon Twilight.
"So Twi what exactly was that?" He asked curious as to what could cause him to become so suddenly disoriented. He looked around again. "Ah, I see. We must have teleported?" He asked. Twilight huffed, "I'm sorry Joseph I didn't realize-" "Exactly you didn't know. So no harm no foul. Hell, I didn't even know that would happen." He chuckled. "So don't sweat it Twilight. Worse case scenario I just have to leg it everywhere I go." He laughed. Soon Twilight joined in feeling much better about her herself.
"Well if you insist." She said looking much better than a moment ago. Joseph clapped his hand together.
"Ok folk's I don't know about you but I for one don't want to waste any more time out here when we should be enjoying a party." He struggled to his feet and once there he found he was still a little queasy. "Here you go," Fluttershy said as she got into the air and went around to Josephs back. She then looped her forehooves through his underarms and held him steady. He gave her a soft smile which she returned.
"Thank's Fluttershy." She just beamed. "Of course. What are friends for?" She asked giggling as she helped Joseph walk up the trail with Big Mac at his side as well. "Friends? Just that fast?" Joseph's body went on autopilot as his mind thought about his current situation. "Is this what my life is going to be from now on? Surrounded by little, colorful, equines?" As the night wore on Joseph continued to mull over his situation all the while putting on a happy face for his hospitable rescuers.
