Equilibrium, Book 1: The First Human.

August 8, 1000, C.E.
Ponyville.
7:04 A.M.

So today is going to be jam packed. First I have to head over to Aj's and help out on the farm. I have to admit two weeks worth of work can really change a person. Granted I'm not ripped but I have been getting my toned physique back that I had in high school. Next on my list is to stop by Suger Cube Corner to give the Cakes a demonstration of my culinary skill's. Here's hoping I can impress them and finally land a job here in Pony Land. Afterwords Rarity told me to stop by so she can fit me for more clothes. I swear she never stops sowing whenever I see her. Then It's over to Dash and the gym. Like I said jam packed. The only real consolation is that Twilight decided to take the day off from grilling me about earth.

Until my next entry signed John Joseph Allison II

John closed his journal and smirked.

"Guess I better get to it." He got up from his little desk and headed out the door.

10:47 A.M.

"Man that never gets old," John said as he stretched out on a bench at Aj's. Applejack meanwhile was sitting in a chair as she and, Twilight, Dash, Pinky Pie, and Rarity all sat around the table.

"What doesn't?" Twilight asked as she waved a hoof over at Spike who came waddling up the dirt path to see the group.

"This," John said as he used a hand to pan around the farm.

"All of it. It's just so beautiful." He said as Applejack smiled.

"Well thank you kindly, John, for some nice words." She looked around the farm. It wasn't in the best of shape. In fact, AJ would call it dilapidated at the moment. AJ Smiled even more. She too thought the farm was beautiful. The fact that an alien being from another universe also saw the farm in the same light really touched Applejack. She looked over at John and smiled just as spike got to the table, just a little out of breath from his little jog up the hill. John and Dash both gave him a look of concern.

"Hey, their little buddy you doing ok?" John asked as Spike held out a hand.

"One..second." He said between gulps of air. As he got his bearings Spike looked at the group and smiled.

"A letter came from Canterlot." He said extending his clawed appendage, sure enough, a letter signed by the royal sister's was clutched in his little fist. Twilight smiled.

"Thank you spike." She gave him a pat on the head as she took the scroll in her magic. Twilight unfurled the letter and read it aloud.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle." She started.

"As you may know the grand galloping gala is being held in Cantarlot in several month's time." She looked up and thought about it.

"Oh yes! December!" She said as she stuck her muzzle back into the scroll and continued to read.

"As such is the case enclosed within this letter are several tickets to the grand galloping gala." She read as indeed several tickets materialized out of thin air. She caught and held them in her magic as she continued to read.

"I hope to see you and your friend's there this year." She looked at the end and saw an extra bit scrolled at the bottom.

"P.S. with your tickets you can bring one guest so choose them wisely." A little smiley face at the end of the letter winked as said letter began to disintegrate. Holding the tickets in her magic Twilight began to divvy them up between her friends.

"One for Pinky Pie," Her ticket hovered over to her. Pinky giggled as it began to orbit her head

"One for Applejack." Aj's ticket hovered over and settled into her hat. She gave it a look of bemusement but then shrugged.

"Weird alicorn magic." She mumbled to herself as she sat back down with a smirk.

"Next is Rainbow Dash." Her ticket zoomed over and slapped itself to her forehead. She scowled at it as she pried it off of her face and tucked in into a pair of saddlebags she had at the table. She saw Pinky and John stifle a set of giggle's and smirked.

"Don't you two start." She said raising a hoof and smiling.

"I know where you two live." They both laughed.

"So?" John said waving a hand.

"And that mean's?" He asked causing Dash to grin evilly.

"Who's the best prankster in ponyville?" They both clammed up at that causing Dash to grin.

"I thought so." She said as Twilight continued to give out the tickets.

"Rarity here's your's." She said as said ticket hovered over and settled in her mane. Rarity gave it a look and then pulled out a mirror.

"Well at least it doesn't clash with my coat," he said with a smile.

"And lastly is Fluttershy." She said as her ticket made its way over and settled down next to her saddlebags. Fluttershy giggled as Dash glared at it.

"Well, that's it." She said as she grabbed her own ticket and sat down. As she did so Rarity suddenly bolted to her feet.

"Oh my gosh!" She yelled as she bolted off down the road.

"Rarity were are you going?" Spike asked as she continued down the hill. She looked back.

"I have to get started on our clothing for the gala!" Her voice faded as she ran down the dirt path and off to ponyville. Spike held his head low as he watched her go.

"But I just got here." He mumbled as he sat down with everypony else. Twilight giggled.

"Don't worry spike." She nudged his side. "There'll be plenty of time to see Rarity when she's done." She said wiggling her eyebrow at her little brother. Spike flushed as he tried to hide underneath the table. The whole group snickered at this as spike glared at them all.

"Oh laugh it up all of you." He said crossing his arm's. Soon the group was on to other detail's and since lunch was on the way they all decided to go there separate way's for now.

12:00 P.M.

John walked through the town with only one thing on his mind.

"Who is she going to invite?" He thought as he headed towards the gym. His interview with the cake's had gone about as well as he could have hoped. He ended up just making some breakfast for the couple and Pinky who ate it with gusto. He was then told that they had to deliberate about it and to give them a day to decide if he was a good fit for the bakery. He smiled and waved as he left, a little bag held in one hand while his other supported his duffle bag full of work out clothes and weights.

"I bet it's Scootaloo." He smiled as he thought of the little trio of mischievous fillies. He had seen them around town at one point or another in his month of being here and he nearly had a heart attack every time he saw them. His smile deepened as he saw the gym was just up ahead.

"Yeah. If anybody deserves to go with Dash to the gala it's her." He smirked as he thought about it.

"Really do wonder what it'll be like." He thought about it.

"I'll have to ask them when they come back." He pulled open the door to the gym and smiled as he saw his friend was already here. And she had company.

"Hey, John!" Dash shouted while waving him over with a hoof. John smiled back while waving and made his way over to the duo. When he got there he saw that Dash was conversing with a yellow coated red-maned stallion. The male looked over at John and stood there wide-eyed.

"Wow, you're tall." He remarked causing John to laugh.

"Yes, I get that a lot." He smiled.

"I'm John." He said holding out a hand. The stallion looked at it then shook his head.

"He he sorry about that." He held out his own hoof.

"The name's Hot Shot." He smiled as the two shook and then John thumbed to the showers.

"Hey Dash I'll be right back, have to go get changed real quick." Dash just smirked.

"You sure you don't want any help this time?" She wiggled her eyebrow's as John just chuckled.

"Nice try Dash." He held out a hand and motioned to his body.

"But this is not for sale." He said as he walked over to the shower. He stopped halfway there and struck a seductive pose that just came off as very awkward for the ponies. She just laughed and wolf whistled as he walked off leaving the whole gym in stitches. Hot Shot was confused.

"Is he alway's so.." He waved a hoof.

"Flirtatious?" He finally asked. Dash gave Hot Shot a smirk.

"Yes." She smiled. "And it's hilarious every time." She said snickering as she went over to a bar and loaded it with weights. Hot Shot glanced back at the showers.

"I'll have to keep an eye on him." He thought as he went over to Dash and grabbed a bar like her's only loading it with considerably fewer weights. As the two began to work out John was just about finished getting changed in the showers.

12:15

"Ok next is... the..." He stopped when he began to hear heavy breathing. Turning around very slowly he found that he wasn't the only one in here like he had once thought. Standing there looking very red in the face and with a wild purple gleam in her eye was none other than Lyra Heartstrings. Giving her a wave and fixing her with a nervous smile he spoke.

"Um hello there." He said as he made to hide his bulge with his hands. Lyra's eyes were fixed at where his dick was as she seemed to be in a trance. She didn't answer just stared. John was beginning to feel very uncomfortable.

"Um hey, Lyra everything ok?" He asked waving a hand in her face. Lyra blinked her eyes flashing back to gold and then gave John a look of confusion.

"Huh, what?" She asked looking around.

"Where am I?" She asked as her eyes settled on John. Her face went from of confusion to one of deep embarrassment. Her horn lit up and in flash of light that blinded John and caused him to real back in surprise.

"So Hot Shot how are thing's going in the guard?" Dash asked as she lifted her bar up and down at a steady pace. Hot Shot grunted with some effort as he held his bar in place after lifting it up.

"Well..eg..there..ho..going...ng..great." He said as sweat patches began to appear along his fur on his face. Finally, he let his weight down gently and set it on the rack. His wings began to burn but he held them out instead of tucking them in. He smiled.

"Honestly it's been a blast." Dash sensed a but coming. She snickered as the thought passed through her brain. Hot Shot gave her a look of contempt. Noticing his scowl she smirked and waved a hoof.

"Sorry not laughing at you, just something else that popped into my head." She said waving her hoof again.

"Go on. You were saying how much of a blast it was in the guard." She smirked as his face went from a scowl to a smile.

"Yeah. It's been a great four year's getting to serve the princess." He smiled some more as fond memory of his time in the guard flew through his head. He shook his head as he folded up his wing's and went over to a hoof machine.

"But my contract is almost up." Stated as he strapped a hoof to a pulley system that was hooked up to a set of weights and began to pull.

"Now I'm thinking of settling down and ever since I came to ponyville with the princess's this place hasn't left my head." He looked over at Dash.

"So I figured why not settle down here." He smirked as Dash continued her wing lifts. She looked over at him. studying his body.

"Good aerodynamics. Not a bad set of wings. More muscle than the average but four years in the guard will do that." She thought as she went over the mental checklist of qualities for a weather pony. Noticing her eye's upon his Hot Shot smirked and struck a seductive pose, his wing's outstretched as he widened his hind leg's just a little bit while keeping his balance on three hooves. Dash stopped her analysis and blushed as she saw him. Hot Shot smirked.

"See something you like Dash?" He asked feeling assured in his answer as the tip's of Dash's primaries began to twitch.

"Um well." She said as she set her weight down on the bar holder and sat up, all the while trying to hide the rapidly expanding blush on her muzzle. She coughed and was about to answer when a commotion broke the two out of their private conversation.

"Lyra wait up!" John came stumbling out of the shower, still naked.
