Ponyville and Parties

"Man, those ponies sure have sticks up there asses." Said James

The group woke up early and had breakfast with Celestia and Luna before Twilight and her friends took the group to the train station to head down to Ponyville. Celestia told them that Twilight would take them to there new home and show all of them around Ponyville.

The large group of humans, Digimon, and ponies began to walk through the town of Canterlot. The ponies of Canterlot, who all happened to be unicorns, kept their heads up high. None of them seemed to want to give the time of day to the group of humans. They seemed disgusted by them and their Digimon. The group could also tell by the high-end stores that lined the streets of Canterlot and the way the unicorns dressed that everypony here was rich or of upper-class status.

"I would agree." Said Matt

"Please tell me Ponyville isn't like Canterlot. And the ponies there aren't the same stuck up jerks like here." Said James

"No, the ponies of Ponyville aren't like the ponies of Canterlot." Said Twilight

"I'm glad; I don't think I could handle living in a town where the ponies are snobbish and full of themselves." Said James

"No worries, you'll love Ponyville." Said Pinkie

"I can't wait to see what the princess got for us." Said Alice

"I do hope it can fit us all." Said April

"The princess did say it would." Said Biyomon

The group continued to stand around and wait for the train. Matt turned to see Crescent walking up to the group. He raised his eyebrow as she saw her carrying a pack with her.

"What's up, Crescent? What's with the bag?" Asked Matt

"I'm coming with you all." Said Crescent

"What?" Exclaimed everypony

"Yeah, the princess decided I should head down to Ponyville with you all." Said Crescent

"So, Princess Celestia doesn't trust us if she's sending a guard along with us." Said James

"No more like she doesn't trust her ponies. I'm more to keep the peace between her ponies and all of you." Said Crescent

"I guess that would make sense. I mean, we aren't part of your world, so it would seem reasonable that they might be afraid of us." Said Matt

"Or disgusted." Murmured James

The whistle of a train alerted the group of the incoming train. It started to come to a stop as it neared the station. The train whistled informing all that the train had come to a complete stop at the station. Ponies began to disembark the train and gather there luggage. Twilight waved the group over to one of the front train cars. The conductor stood in front of the door that led inside.

"Tickets." Said the conductor

Twilight pulled out 11 tickets and showed them to the conductor. He waved the mane six aboard as well as the humans and their Digimon. Crescent showed her ticket, and the conductor allowed her inside. The seats were all plush and looked comfortable. It looked like a place for royalty.

"Welcome to the royal car. Princess Celestia uses this car to travel the rails." Said Twilight

"Man, this sure is impressive. The princess sure travels in style." Said James

"Make yourself at home. It's going to be a three-hour trip back to Ponyville." Said Twilight

The group sat around and made themselves comfortable. The train whistled, and the group left the train lurch forward. The train began to make its way towards Ponyville.

"So since we have some time, would you answer another question?" Asked Twilight

"Don't you think we answered enough questions for you last night." Stated James

"Well, I thought of this question after we broke up the session and looking over my notes." Said Twilight

"So what's your question, Twilight?" Asked Matt

"I wanted to know all your ages." Said Twilight

"Well, I'm 18." Said Matt

"Same here." Said Alice

"I'm also 18." Said James

"It's the same for me." Said April

"I'm ten." Said Abby

"So what's all your ages, since you asked us?" Asked Alice

"Well, we're all eighteen and Spike is 10." Said Twilight

"I'm eighteen as well. I made Private thanks to my mother's influence in the guard. She happens to be the general of both the solar and lunar guards." Said Crescent

"So, Matt, are you going to put your sister in school?" Asked Rarity

"Well, I was going to ask if there was a school in Ponyville." Said Matt

"Ponyville has a school. My sister goes tah it." Said Applejack

"Same here, Cheerilee runs the school and is on the sweetest ponies you'll ever meet. I can take you to her when you get settled into Ponyville." Said Rarity

"Thank you, Rarity." Said Matt

"Does Spike attend the school as well?" Asked April

"Well, I don't attend the school at Ponyville, but I do get schooling from Twilight from time to time. I mostly help around the library and with her studies as her number one assistant." Said Spike

Spike puffed out her chest, trying to show off to the humans and Digimon, which caused Twilight to giggle and roll her eyes at her assistant's antics. The occupants of the train car continued to talk amongst each other as the train proceeded down the tracks towards the town of Ponyville.

The whistle of the train bellowed out as it came to a stop at Ponyville station. Ponies disembarked the train began to gather their bags or embrace loved ones. The large group of ponies, humans, and Digimon stepped off the train to the quaint little town. The humans took in the sights as they gazed upon the small town.

"Wow, this place looks peaceful." Said James

"Sure is." Said Applejack

"Ponyville has been voted one of the best towns in Equestria to raise a family and for retirement." Said Rarity

"Well, it looks like it." Said Matt

"So how about we find the house the princess got you all?" Said Crescent

"Plus it'll allow us to give you a tour of Ponyville." Said Pinkie

The group left the train station and began to make there way throughout Ponyville. The residents of the town stopped and stared at the five humans and the Digimon that followed Twilight and her friends.

"Well, I can see that the ponies here aren't like the ones in Canterlot." Stated James

"Ponyville happens to be a lot more laid back than Canterlot." Said Rarity

"I also see that all three races of Equestria live here." Said April

"Yes, Ponyville is a melting pot of Equestrian culture. Earth ponies first discovered Ponyville, but over time, unicorns and pegasi slowly made their way to live here." Said Pinkie

The girls would point out buildings as the group marched along. Pinkie pointed Sugar Cube Corner, where she worked and lived. The humans and Digimon stared at the giant gingerbread house. Each them had a strong urge to go up and bite into it.

"You live in a house made of gingerbread?" Asked Terriermon

"I'm not sure if that's healthy." Stated James

"It's not real gingerbread. It's made to look like that. The Cakes own Sugar Cube Corner and are the best bakers in all of Ponyville. Everypony in Ponyville loves the sweets the Cakes make, well next to Bon-Bon's candies. The Cakes allow me to live here since I'm not from Ponyville and in turn taught me all my baking skills. Now I use them to throw the greatest parties Equestria has ever seen." Said Pinkie

"Still weird." Said James

"And I still want to take a bite out of it." Said Gaomon

"That's what everypony says when they see Sugar Cube Corner for the first time." Said Pinkie

The group moved on, and the girls kept pointing out buildings. Soon the group was in front of a large oak tree. The sign next to it said, 'Gold Oaks Library.'

"The library is an oak tree." Said James

"A literal Gingerbread house and now a house in a tree, this place sure is strange." Stated April

"It's also where Spike and I live." Said Twilight

"You live in a tree." Said Alice

"That doesn't seem safe." Said April

"Do humans live in trees, April?" Asked Biyomon

"Nope, trees are for woodland creatures. Now parents will build there children treehouses, but they don't live in them. Plus trees aren't too safe when it comes to thunderstorms." Said April

"Well, I have no worries. I have a magical lightning rod that attracts lightning." Said Twilight

"This place sure is odd, huh, brother." Said Abby

"You said it, sis." Said Matt

The group left Twilight and Spike's home to continue the tour. The next place was Rarity's. It looked like a tent with a carousel round it. Carousel ponies rested around the house.

"Welcome to Carousel Boutique, my home, and my business. I'm Ponyville's top fashion designer." Said Rarity

"Your Ponyville's only fashion designer." Stated Applejack

"Well, that's true as well." Said Rarity

"Interesting place." Said April

"Thanks, and by the way. All of you should come down and let me make you all clothing. I doubt you have any other clothing except the stuff you have on right now." Said Rarity

"Thanks, Rarity, but doubtful any of us could pay you." Said Matt

"No worries, I'm doing it completely free of charge." Said Rarity

"That's very generous of you." Said Alice

"Well, I'm not the Element of Generosity for nothing." Said Rarity

"The Element of Generosity?" Asked James

"What's that?" Asked Gomamon

"One of the six Elements of Harmony. They consist of Magic, Generosity, Loyalty, Kindness, Honesty, and Laughter. The elements keep the harmony of Equestria safe. We used them to free Princess Luna from the grip of Nightmare Moon." Said Twilight

"Ok, so if Rarity's Generosity, who do the other five go to?" Asked James

"Well, I'm Magic." Said Twilight

"I'm Loyalty." Said Rainbow

"I'm...um...Kindness." Said Fluttershy

"I'm Laughter." Said Pinkie

"And I'm Honesty." Said Applejack

"Interesting, they do seem to fit." Said Matt

"Well, do come down when you have some time, and I'll craft you the best clothes you'll ever see. And when ponies see what I can do with making clothing for all of you, I know I'll be one step closer to my dream of being one of the greatest fashion designers of all time." Said Rarity

The group of humans looked at each other and shrugged before James spoke up, "I guess we have no other option unless we want to forever live in the clothes we have on right now."

"Great, now let's continue the tour." Said Rarity

The group continued until they began to reach the outskirts of Ponyville. The humans and Digimon followed the mane six down a dirt road to farm with apple trees. They could see that the apple trees spanned on for miles. It seemed like everywhere they looked, there was an apple tree. And as far as they could see, there were apple trees.

"Welcome tah my family farm." Said Applejack

"Crap, how many trees do you have?" Asked James

"I'm not tah sure. My family is continuously chopping down old trees to plant new ones. I doubt any of my family have ever count all the trees we have." Said Applejack

"Man, I couldn't imagine the number of workers it takes to harvest all the apples." Said Matt

"In truth, it's only my older brother, me, my granny, and my little sister who watch over the farm." Said Applejack

The humans looked at Applejack like she was crazy. She raised her eyebrow as she seemed like she didn't understand their looks of crazy on their faces.

"You have to be kidding me! Four ponies deal with this whole farm?!" Exclaimed James

"I'm not lying, partner. As the Element of Honesty, I can't tell a lie." Said Applejack

"It's the truth." Said Twilight

"Those apples sure do look tasty." Said Gomamon

Applejack walked up to a nearby tree. Se raised her right hoof before striking it against the tree. The tree shook and down came a bunch of apples. The humans and Digimon couldn't believe their eyes as Applejack picked up an apple and tossed it to Gomamon. He caught it in his mouth. He took the fruit in his claw and bit into it.

"Man, this thing is behind sweet and tasty." Said Gomamon

"How did you do that?" Asked James

"What do ya mean?" Asked Applejack as she tossed apples to the others.

"I mean, how can you strike an apple tree without breaking your leg." Said James

"My earth pony strength, the magic of Equestria gives us earth ponies far superior strength." Said Applejack

"Still hard to believe you could strike a solid tree without breaking your leg." Said James

"It is hard to believe, but in truth, everything about this world is hard to believe." Said Matt

"I guess so." Said James

After enjoying Applejack's apples, the group continued along. They stopped to look at Fluttershy's cottage.

"You live out here?" Asked Alice

"I live out here to watch over all my animal friends." Said Fluttershy

"You seem close to that strange forest." Said Alice

"That's true, but the forest near my house keeps me safe from the Everfree Forest," said Fluttershy as a shiver went down the pony's spines.

"Well, it sure does look peaceful." Said April

"It sure is." Said Fluttershy

"Don't you ever feel isolated?" Asked Abby

"My animal friends keep me company, and I'm only five minutes from Ponyville." Said Fluttershy

The group left Fluttershy's cottage and finally came to Rainbow's house.

"You have to be kidding me." James turned to Rainbow, "You live in a house made out of clouds."

"Yeah, so what?" Asked Rainbow

"So what, clouds are nothing more than water vapor! So how can you walk or even live in a cloud house? Plus how is a rainbow a liquid" Said James

"Easy, I'm Pegasus, and rainbows have always been a liquid." Said Rainbow

"That doesn't answer the question." Said Matt

"Weren't you listening when Princess Celestia told you pegasi control the weather. And thanks to controlling the weather, we make rainbows at the weather factor. Plus, we can't do our jobs unless we can walk on clouds. Hell, my hometown of Cloudsdale is a city on a bunch of buildings resting on clouds. If you look up in the sky, you'll see it." Said Rainbow

Everyone turned and spotted the city that Rainbow had pointed out to them. None of the humans could believe that she was right.

"Do humans have cities in the sky?" Asked Terriermon

"Not unless we all grew wings." Said Abby

"And created levitation." Stated Matt

"So yeah, I live as I did back in Cloudsdale." Said Rainbow

"I'm never going to get used to this place." Stated James

"Well, I think it's time we check out your guy's place. And I promise you that it's nothing crazy like Rainbow's home." Said Twilight

The humans and Digimon nodded, and Twilight led the way to their new home. After a few minutes of walking the group came to a modest two-story house on the edge of Ponyville, only about a minutes walk to the center of Ponyville. It looked like all the other main buildings that populated Ponyville.

"Looks like a neat place." Said James

"Let's see inside." Said Matt

"I hope we don't need to buy furniture." Said April

"No worries, Princess Celestia already furnished the entire home." Said Twilight

"Well, I guess we'll have to thank her later." Said Alice

"This princess sure is giving." Said Renamon

"You said it, Renamon." Said Alice

Twilight tossed Matt the keys, and he opened the door. He pushed it open, and the group looked with awe as they all entered the family room.

"Man, the princess sure didn't underspend." Said James

The family room had an 'L' shaped couch and another smaller sofa next to it. It also had a few other chairs around the couches. A large coffee table rested in the middle. In the corner of the room was a radio.

"The only thing missing here is a T.V." Said James

"What's a T.V.?" Asked Twilight

"T.V. or television is a device we humans made. It captures radio waves and transforms those waves into an image. We use that image to get the news, watch cartoons, and all other sorts of things." Said Matt

"Interesting," said Twilight while scratching down what Matt said.

Alice and Renamon were standing in the kitchen as Alice admired it, "We sure have a nice kitchen. I can't wait to try it all out." Said Alice

"You cook?" Asked Renamon

"Sure do." Said Alice

Matt and Abby looked at each other with nervous grins as they heard Alice speak about her cooking.

"Is Alice not a good cook?" Asked Lopmon

"Alice believes she a good cook, but she's not all that good. I swear her food is either burnt or inedible." Said Matt

"Is there anything edible she makes?" Asked Guilmon

"A few things, but most of the time she can't cook for the life of her." Said Matt

"I hope she doesn't teach her bad habits to Renamon." Said Terriermon

April and James were upstairs looking at the second floor. It had six rooms, and in each was a queen sized bed. A large chest rested on the wall in front of the wall bed. There was a door that led into a walk-in closet and another on the wall that bed rested upon, which went into the full bath of the bedroom. Overall, it wasn't bad.

"Neat that we all have a bathroom, a nice looking walk-in closet, and a large bed." Said James

"Plus we have a full spare bath and a half spare bath up here." Said April

"It does seem weird to have six rooms, huh, James." Said Gaomon

"Yeah, when there are only five of us." Said James

James and April came back the stairs to see the others looking at the backyard.

"All we're missing is a pool." Said Abby

"Or at least some form of a body of water." Said Gomamon

The small group of Abby, Matt, and Gomamon came back into the living room through the sliding glass doors attached to the living room.

"So we have six nice bedrooms upstairs." Said James

"But we're only five people." Said Abby

"I guess I should tell the sixth room is mine." Said Crescent

"You're staying here, Crescent?" Asked Matt

"That's right. The princess thought it best if I stay with all of you, to better ensure your protection and well keep unwanted attention away." Said Crescent

"Well, that explains the sixth room." Said James

"Well, now what?" Asked Alice

"Well, its time for your party!" Exclaimed Pinkie

She dug her hands in her mane and pulled out a cannon. The humans and Digimon blinked their eyes as their minds tried to figure out how Pinkie had a cannon in her mane. Applejack could see the humans and Digimon trying to figure out Pinkie Pie.

"I wouldn't try tah understand Pinkie Pie if I were ya." Said Applejack

"But how did she pull a cannon from her mane?!" Exclaimed James

"Darling there's a rule here in Ponyville, never try to understand Pinkie Pie." Said Rarity

"You'll learn, quickly that Pinkie is completely random and no pony tries to understand her." Said Fluttershy

"I think this place is going to cause me to go crazy." Said James

"Let's Party!" Screamed Pinkie

She pulled the string to fire the cannon, and out came pink smoke. As the smoke cleared, party supplies covered the entire living room. Party food rested in the kitchen. Pinkie smiled as she picked up her cannon and placed it in her tail. She turned back to the humans and Digimon.

"I have no words." Said James

"I have two." Everypony turned to Matt, "Let's Party!"

Pinkie screamed as the humans and Digimon decided to enjoy the party with the Mane Six to celebrate there welcome to Ponyville and Equestria.
