Andrew was never one for working out. It's not that he didn't want to do it, he just never saw a point for it. His job was mostly sitting behind a computer in an office for 8 hours a day. Add that to the fact that he really didn't have fat to burn off, he was content not going to the gym.

Looking back on it now, though, he wished he had.

His feet were killing him from the amount of walking that they had been doing. The valley that they were in seemed to go on forever in all directions, and there was no real sign of it stopping anytime soon. He lost count on how long they had been walking a few trees ago, but his guess was somewhere around a half an hour of walking.

The worst part, though, was the fact that neither had said a thing to the other since their journey started.

Most of the time, this wouldn't bother the young man; he loved silence because he doesn't really like interacting with others. But, this circumstance was a completely different story. He was in a world he thought was fiction not 12 hours ago, with a small equine that shouldn't even exist. Needless to say, he had questions, and he wanted the answers sooner rather then later.

He did try to break the ice earlier into the journey, but Rainbow Dash was extremely keen on keeping the silence around for the whole trip. After the fourth attempt at starting a conversation with his leader, he finally gave up. What he started doing instead was just looking around, enjoying the view.

After an eternity of just open fields, they finally came upon a small cluster of trees. The young man thought that it looked extremely familiar, and, while he knew where he was, he couldn't figure out what episode it had belonged in. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice that his leader had stopped, and was now looking back at him.

She cleared her throat and moved a hoof to show off what they had arrived to: a village. Andrew instantly recognized it from the show: it was Ponyville, the main backdrop and home to the Mane Six. He suppressed his urge to start bouncing up and down by tapping his foot, which made Rainbow Dash raise an eyebrow slightly.

"You probably know where we are, but... formalities and what not." She had said, tearing her gaze from the human towards the town in front of her. "Welcome to Ponyville..." From what Andrew could hear, she didn't sound too excited. It almost sounded like she had said that more than once before...

She did say that there has been more humans here before, so... it's not completely out of the question.He was able to immediately see some of the buildings within the town, due to their size

The first one was the Castle of Friendship, home to Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer, Twilight's former student of friendship. It seemed to almost glow in the afternoon light, and the star on top of the castle seemed to just... shower small rainbows around it. It was identical to the one in the show, except for it's height, since you can't judge that sort of thing through a TV screen.

The second thing he saw was the Carousel Boutique, home to Rarity and sometimes Sweetie Belle, her younger sister. Just like the Castle, it was bigger than what he thought it would be, and it seemed to be closer to where he and Rainbow Dash stood. Again, though, it was identical to the one in the show.

Lastly, he saw, upon a hill, Sweet Apple Acres, home to the Apple Family. Here there was a difference between the show and what was laid out in front of him; that being just how big it all was. Trees seemed to run for miles into the distance, as well as things like carrot fields, sheds, and farming equipment just left out. The rest of Ponyville was just homes with thatch rooves, nothing too fancy.

"Come on..." He looked down towards Rainbow Dash, seeing that she had started to walk away towards the town. "The others are waiting..."

After a few minutes of walking through town and getting stares from the common folk, they arrived on the doorstep to the Castle of Friendship. Andrew stared up in wonder at how high it actually went.

It could easily battle any small skyscraper back home..., he thought, his mouth hanging wide open. He was drawn from his staring when he heard the mare in front of him knock on the door, glancing back at him to make sure he was still there. Both stood in front of the crystal door for about two or three minutes before it opened, revealing a short purple dragon.

"Rainbow? What are you doing here?", the dragon asked, looking up at the mare. Without answering, she gestured to behind her with her head, making the dragon peak around her taller form. His eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when he noticed the tall biped not too far from Rainbow, a surprised expression on his face which quickly morphed into a look of understanding. "So that's why the others showed up...", he had muttered to himself. He quickly moved out of the way, letting Rainbow and Andrew move inside.

Rainbow gestured her head towards the door, which the human didn't seem to understand right away. He raised an eyebrow, looking straight into her eyes as if they were about to have the longest stare off the world has ever seen.

"You guys gonna come in or just stare at each other?" Both looked to the small dragon standing off to the side, who looked extremely unamused about the situation. Andrew chuckled lightly, looking back towards the rainbow haired mare and giving off a quizzical expression. Said rainbow haired mare sighed and started to head into the castle, motioning the human to follow her inside.

"We don't want to keep the others waiting, so come on..."

The castle was even bigger on the inside than it was on the outside, something that humored the human since another fictional character that he enjoyed would've loved hearing those words. Rooms seemed to be spread out on either side of him, going on forever down a hallway that never seemed to end as well. It just sprawled on forever, which both confused the young man and terrified him.

Once again, Rainbow Dash was leading the "charge" to where ever they seemed to be heading, and, once again, Andrew never thought to ask where exactly they were going.

She did say something about meeting the others, so... best guess is that we're meeting her friends..., he thought. This was another thought that terrified him, since it wasn't every day that you meet fictional characters from a kid's show that you thought were just dreamed up by another human being.

After walking for what felt like an hour, Andrew, Rainbow, and Spike all stopped in front of a doorway, which was wide open, revealing the contents inside. All the human saw were books lining the shelves, showing him that they were in the Library of the castle, Twilight's favorite spot in all of the castle (or, that was his thought anyway...).

"So it was true...", another voice had said, startling the human. Looking forward, into some of the seats, sat the rest of the Main Six, sitting in this order: Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy to his left, Starlight, Pinkie, and an empty seat to his right (probably for Rainbow Dash when she enters the room), and Twilight in the middle. Again, he gained a confused face, looking at all of them individually.

"What is this, a group therapy session...?", he asked himself, still looking around. He heard the sound of Rainbow walking away, her hoofsteps getting softer until they stopped, hearing a small whumpf as she sat down in her chair. After a few seconds of silence, he heard a throat being cleared, making him look into the room once again.

"Hello,", Twilight said, motioning for the human to come into the room. "We just want to ask some questions..."

Author's Note

holy shit, I'm sorry for how late this is coming out!

Yes, I know today was the last episode of the show, no it wasn't planned.

I want to thank those of you who have given my story the time of day and the next chapter shouldn't take 3 million years to come out.
