Chapter 16: Meeting the Mane 6

3rd POV

Once it was agreed that the 3 would make a visit to Ponyvile Celestia writes up a letter telling of their arrival in about 3 days and hands it to Eris who teleports away to send the letter. In the meantime, the sisters would use these 3 days to spend time with their beloved not that he minded as Frank was happy to spend some time with the royal sisters. He also visited Nightmare Moon who was happy to see him the most as she proceeded to hug him with his head pressed up to her chest much to his shock and was violently pulled away from an enraged Luna. This all happened in the first day while in the second day he went to check up on Leah and the girls who were all trying to adjust to their temporary home though he would occasionally scold the guards who were being unfair toward Leah and Chloe. Which lead to an arguing match between him and Steel Wing as the guard captain was being strict as usual, but later saw reason after a talk with the solar princess though Frank could swear, he felt her aura rising when that happened.

Once that was done Frank decided to spend some time with the other girls by first showing Leah and Layla around the castle though the young diamond dog was nervous Frank was able to ease her worries by petting her head which seem to make her happy and would do the same toward Leah as both would wag their tails. Frank would also bring Pipp and Chloe to the streets of Canterlot as they both admired the city outside of the castle though some of the residents would give some nasty glances toward Chloe as they compared her to another centaur named Tirek as Frank would scare them off with a glare or with the use of magic spell that causes their pants to fall off. As for Sonya she had been going crazy being cooped up in the castle, so Frank decided to bring the minotaur warrior to the training yard where he proceeded to show her some of his skills in hand-to-hand combat as she was interested in the fighting style that was taught to him by his mother.

On the 3rd day he decides to take that time to discuss with the princesses about his knowledge from the show from when Twilight was sent to Equestria, the adventures she and her friends experienced there, to the battle and defeat of Tirek. Though the did mention how there were some differences from what was presented in the show compared to the world he was in such as how the show had everyone walking on 4 legs, how Nightmare Moon was destroyed, and how Eris was presented as a male named Discord. Not to mention that certain events didn’t seem to match what he remembered from the show such as the meeting with dragon lord Ember who was not introduced until later in the series, yet Celestia confirmed that they had learned about her from barb during the gauntlet of fire a few weeks before Tirek’s invasion. He also asked about certain events like the Storm King invasion which did happen 2 months before Frank had arrived to Equestria and the mirror portal which Celestia confirmed that is currently in the possession of Twilight in the castle of friendship. Though the sisters were worried wondering if Frank would consider staying in the human world to which the human stated that he had no interest in staying there but would not mind visiting said world and meeting Sunset Shimmer and the human versions of the mane 6.

Both sisters were still surprised the humans from Franks world were big fans of the show as Frank went on to explain how they had made figurines, arts designs, and even plushies dedicated to the show. As he also pointed out the many fanfics made some of them rewriting what had happened to the show, one of them being a story called *Your Human and You* where a human is brought to an Equestria where the humans have the minds of primates while also forming a romantic relationship with Twilight Sparkle. However, they were horrified once Frank told them about the darker stories like *Cupcakes*, *The Rainbow Factory*, and *Anon-miss* which were made due to some fans who were into horror and were interested in making a what if scenario to certain characters though Frank did admit to hating said stories. Once that was done they all agreed to keep what they learned to themselves in order to avoid any problems that may come if any pony like Twilight were to learn about this kind of information as Frank was glad to finally let that giant chunk of info out of his chest.

Once their 3 days were up it was finally time to meet the Mana 6 as both Princesses and their dear human Frank entered the royal chariot as it flies off toward the town of Ponyvile. Frank was able to put on a shirt with the jacket he wore when he was first introduced while also sporting some the items that he acquired from liberating the females. As the chariot then takes off as its 3 passengers decided to talk among each other to pass the time…

“You sure it was a good idea to wear this stuff, I mean I have no problem with the cloak and the necklace, but I think the horned helmet may end up scaring the residents of Ponyvile.” Said Frank referring to the helmet he was given as Luna nodded at him.

“I am sure they won’t mind after all you are a warrior, and you should present yourself as one.” Said Luna as Celestia giggled at her sister.

“From what Twilight has told me some of the residents have a tendency to be scared of the wrong thing, I believe she mentioned of 3 sisters who represented that particular problem.” Said Celestia as Frank sighed knowing full well what she was taking about.

“The flower sisters. I remember seeing one of them faint when the town was being raided by a stampede of bunnies from the show though I think that was due to seeing her beloved flowers being eaten by the bunnies.” He said as the sisters giggled at his expression which made the superpowered human to snicker as well.

It was then that Celestia decided to ask Frank a question one that she had been nervous to even ask ever since the human had arrived in their world and after taking a deep breath, she proceeded to ask her question to the human.

“Frank, have you had your eye on any pony or plan be in a relationship with any one here in Equestria?” asked the solar princess to which her sister goes wide-eyed as Frank raised any eyebrow at her question.

“You mean like dating someone?” he asked to which the Celestia nodded as Luna had also wondered as well.

This causes Frank’s expression to go sour as he looks away toward the window for it brought back a memory that he didn’t want to remember about his ex and the second girl he dated. Seeing this, surprises the two princesses for they never seen this side of Frank as he turns back to them before they could say anything.

“No dating hasn’t come into mind, especially when it would be awkward for me due to my age.” He said to which the sisters raised an eyebrow at.

“Sir McCloud why would your age make it awkward for you to date?” asked the moon princesses as Frank mentally scolds himself for forgetting to mention this.

“Oh right… I forgot to mention this to the both of you. Well let me ask you two this how old do you think I am?” asked the human as both princesses looked at each other before looking back at Frank.

“Maybe 26… 23…” said Celestia as Frank snickered at her response.

“Sorry it’s just that you’re not the first to say that. Due to my build and stature many people would often get my age wrong for they assumed I look older than I really am. I am actually 35 years old, but the gauntlet had altered my appearance to how I looked like as an 18-year-old which is what you see before you.” Answered the human as Celestia and Luna were shocked to hear this though Celestia was even more shocked from what Frank mentioned.

“Wait this is what you looked like at the age of 18? But you look so…so…” she tried to say until Frank spoke.

“Mature? Bigger? Well, that’s due to having my fathers’ genetics since he was born with a more heavily built which is what I inherited though it did freak out everyone around me growing up. And it sucks because I have the mentality of an adult, but I am in the body of a mature teenager.” He said as both princesses had a thought in mind.

“(If he inherited this from his father makes me wonder how his mother was able to handle such a being.)” they mentally said to themselves

“I still don’t see why your age would be a problem after all me and my sister are thousands of years old, yet we still look young.” Said Luna as Frank sighed at this.

“Maybe its not weird for you Luna, but its weird for me since I was raised to go after girls around my age not to mention that many males back on Earth had gotten into trouble for dating a girl who is way too young for them.” said Frank as both sisters were starting to understand his predicament.

“Well, what if maybe one of-…” she was cut off as one guards pulling the chariot then spoke.

“We have arrived your majesties.”

Said the guard as Frank looks out the window seeing that they were about to land as the chariot gently lands onto the ground for, they were now in front of the castle of friendship.

“Looks like we have arrived wonder how Twilight and her friends will react to seeing me?” he said as he is the first to open the door as he proceeds to exit out of the door, but not before holding the door open for the royal sisters who blushed and smiled at the gesture as the two exit out of the chariot.

Frank POV

Once we left the chariot a new face arrived to greet us as a purple colored alicorn appears before us wearing a purple turtleneck sweater with no sleeves and jeans with the mark of a six-pointed star on the side of her pants. This was Twilight Sparkle princess of friendship as she immediately rushes over to hug both Celestia and Luna who hug her back a sight that made me smile by how adorable the whole thing was.

“It is great to see you, Twilight.” Said Celestia as Luna then spoke.

“We are also pleased to hear that you had made a full recovery and are doing well.” said Luna as Twilight nods at her.

“Speaking of which I believe a certain human was looking forward to see you.” Said Celestia as she motions me to introduce myself as I stepped forward and bowed to Twilight much to her bewilderment.

“It is a pleasure to meet you Princess Sparkle. My name is Frank McCloud, and I am glad that you’re doing well.” I said in a gentleman manner as the purple alicorn had nervous look on her face as her wings ruffle which was weird to see.

“Is something wrong?” I asked as the young alicorn shakes her head immediately.

“S-sorry I was just startled is all. I didn’t think you would be so… big is all.” She said nervously as she blushes at her mistake. The sight of this causes me to giggle a bit by how adorable it was.

“It’s no problem, Princess Sparkle I tend to get that reaction a lot.” I say as to which Twilight nods as now calm as she clears her throat.

“Anyway, we should probably get inside the others are waiting inside also you don’t have to call me by princess title just Twilight would be fine.” She said to which I smile at.

“No problem and you can also call me Frank if that’s alright.” I say as she smiles and nods me as she leads me, Celestia, and Luna to the front doors of the castle.

Honestly, I was expecting Twilight to ask me a lot of questions about me and about my abilities and as she opened the doors, we all entered inside, but what happens next was unexpected.

“SURPRISE!!!!!!”

Yelled various ponies as confetti was blown and banners that said *Welcome to Ponyvile* were shown, unfortunately all this does was startle me as I shot up from the ground only to have my head hit through the ceiling.

“FRANK ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!!!” said the concerned voice of Celestia as I realized where I was sure that I was going to be in trouble for this.

“I am fine Princess Celestia. No need to worry.” I say as I looked around and noticed that I busted my head through what looked like a library. No surprise there.

“Sir McCloud what happened?” said Luna as I looked down.

“Sorry about that. I guess that surprise down there may have triggered an instinctual reaction and to anyone down there I apologize for that. And to you as well Twilight.” I say as I try to pull myself out from the hole.

“Its alright Frank. But are you sure that you’re, alright?” she said as I use my strength to pull my self out.

“I am fi-…” I was cut off as I managed to pull my head out of the hole as was now falling and landed face first on the floor.

I then raised my head and noticed the concerned looks of the other ponies there and immediately got up to my feet as I wiped myself off and cleared my throat.

“Heh heh… sorry about that every pony. Guess you did a good job with the surprise.” I say scratching the back of my head as an awkward silence took hold.

The silence was then broken as the sound of someone giggling was made as looked to my left as saw a familiar looking earth pony mare giggling while letting out a snort in between giggles. She had a pink mane and tail which looked like cotton candy, blue eyes, light pink body, wore a yellow shirt with pink strips, and had on a pink dress over it as she looked over to me as I tried not to go and hug this mare for this was none other than my favorite pink party mare Pinkie Pie.

“Wowie I never did a surprise that sent some pony flying up to the ceiling. StillthatwasprettyawesometomeetyouforIamreallyeexcitedtomeetyoudashhastoldusalotaboutyouandsoImadethispartyjustforyousoIhopeyoulikeit.ForIalwaysmakepartiesforeverynewfacehereinPonyvileIalsomadethisspecialcakeforyouhopeyoulikeit.”she said though the last part she said in one breath as I smiled at this and give her a thumbs up with my right hand.

“Thank you very much Miss Pie I really appreciate the party.” I say with a smile as she smiles as well.

“Alrighty then now LETS PARTY!!” She announced as every one else cheered in agreement and soon the party was now in full swing.

The princesses however were still worried about my injury even though I told them that I was fine, but that still didn’t stop them only to later find myself separating from the princesses when as I found myself being surrounded by the towns people. Each of them wanted to thank me for saving them from the raiders and black Dragon some of them handing me gifts as I was forced to accept as not to be rude even though it was too much. Some of them were the Cake family who thanked me when one of the raiders tried to attack Ms. Cake followed by the flower sisters who I saved from the raiders and prevented them from harming the flowers as they each handed me a bundle of flowers.

I also received a visit from a familiar grey Pegasus mare who introduced herself as Ditzy Doo who was wearing a white shirt and jeans short as she smiled at me as I did the smiled back at her.

“I can’t thank you enough for saving me from the raiders. Here’s some muffins to show you, my appreciation.” She says handing me a bundle of blue berry muffins to which I accept without question just then my vision was obscured by a pair of small hands as I heard the giggles of a little girl behind me.

“Dinky also wishes to say thank you as well.” said Ditzy as I grabbed the little girl off from behind me and had her in front of me as I was meet by the sight of small grey unicorn filly with a yellow dress and smiled at me.

“Thank you for saving my mommy mister.” She said as I smiled at the sight and hugged her.

“You’re welcome, cutie.” I say to which the filly giggles as I held her up a bit not too high as I moved her around which seemed to make her smile even more something I did with my little sister when she was little.

I also noticed Ditzy and the other females looking at me with smiles on their faces as handed Dinky back to her mother as she holds onto her daughter. She then nods at me before walking away to talk to her friend as the little filly waves goodbye at me to which I do the same.

“Never took you as the dad type, big guy.” Said a raspy voice as I looked to my friend and saw Dash floating beside me.

“Heh yeah, that’s probably because I was reminded of doing something like this when taking care of my sister who was still a baby growing up.” I said as Dash smiles at me.

“Anyway, come with me and meet the rest of my friends. Twilight is currently talking with the princesses about something, so she won’t be joining us.” She says as she tries to pull me though it seemed that she was having trouble since she was struggling as she pulled onto my arm with all her might.

I snickered at this as I decided to move as Dash lead me to another part of the area where 3 other ponies of the mane 6 were waiting.

The first one being an orange earth pony mare with green eyes a blond mane tied to a tail and blonde tail, dressed in a red flannel shirt with the lower part tied above her waist, and wearing a pair of blue denim shorts along with a brown Stetson hat over her head.

The second was a white unicorn mare with a purple mane and tail perfectly curled to perfection, blue eyes, as she wore a black and white dress shirt with a black skirt and black leggings that covered her legs all the way to the upper hoof. As I noticed her dolling herself up which I don’t see why for she is already beautiful as it is.

The third mare was yellow Pegasus mare with a pink mane and tail and let me just say she was a sight to behold as she wore a sort of green sweater dress that wrapped around her figure so well as she hid her beautiful blue eyes under a strand of her hair as she looked at me with a shy gaze. The sight of it nearly giving me a heart attack by how adorable it was, but I managed to stay strong as Rainbow dash calls out to them.

Note: shout out to the artists who made these designs of the other members of the mane six.

“Hey girls I would like ya to meet the big guy here.” Said Rainbow to which the other 3 mares turn to us only to go wide-eyed at me which doesn’t surprise me at all.

Though I did notice some odd looks from the girls like Applejack looking at me from top to bottom, Rarity staring at me with sparkles in her eyes, and Fluttershy hiding beneath my bangs as I felt my heart give out again as I tried to keep it together.

“Whowie Dash, I know ya mentioned he was strong, but not so built. Any way howdy my name is Applejack nice to meet ya.” said the orange mare as she extends her hand as I do the same before shaking hands though I noticed a look of surprise on her face as we both let go.

“Mighty fine grip ya got there. Usually, I would end up shaking a pony whenever we shake hands.” She said as smiled at her.

“Let’s just say I am stronger than I look though I am impressed by your strength Applejack which is to be expected from someone who grew up on an apple farm.” I say giving her wink which causes her to blush though she later smiles at me for the compliment.

“Oh darling, what your wearing looks so fabulous on you! I must ask who made such a design of greatness. Oh, where are my manners my name is Rarity Belle and it’s a pleasure to meet you Lord McCloud.” She said doing a curtsy at the end of her words to which I shook my head to her.

“There is no need to call me by titles just Frank is fine Miss Belle. And to answer your questions this was made thanks to the talented hands of Needle Works though the design on the upper shoulder and back was my idea for I wanted to honor the two rulers for offering me a place to stay and their land.” I said motioning to Celestia, and Luna’s cutie marks stitched on each arm also presenting the mark of both sisters on my back as both marks were in the form of a yin and yang symbol as Rarity seemed to be mesmerized at the sight.

“Amazing though may I ask why are both marks of the princesses are presented that way on your back?” she asked to which I replied.

“It represents the yin and yang symbol which represents balance between two different forces like the sun and moon as a new day rises the sun rises up signifying day and as the day comes to a close the moon rises up as it signifies the night as the cycles then repeats itself over and over again.” I say as Rarity seemed to be amazed at my description as I chuckled at her expression it was then that I noticed the yellow Pegasus still in place as Rainbow then pushes her forward as the yellow mare was now in front of me.

“Um… hello… my name is Fluttershy…” she said in a low tone which thanks to my enhanced healing I was able to hear without problem though it didn’t help that her voice had affected me even more as I tried not to lose my cool.

“What a beautiful name you have Miss Shy and as Rainbow had probably told you my name is Frank McCloud and it’s a pleasure to meet you.” I say as I smiled though it seemed to have made the yellow mare look away as she hid underneath her hair.

I was about to ask what was wrong until Rainbow came in and began to explain.

“Sorry about big guy. Flutters tends to get nervous around new faces and not to mention she is still spooked about some loud roar she heard from the Everfree.” She said I remembered what she was taking about before facepalming myself as the girls looked at me with confused gazes.

“Something wrong, sugar cube?” asked Applejack as I shook my head.

“No nothing’s wrong though I would like to apologize for that loud roar for it was me who did that. And the reason was to scare off a manticore who managed to get the drop on me when I found myself in the Everfree and after trying to tell the beast to go away I lost my temper and used one of my abilities called beast roar which had echoed throughout the forest as the manticore ran off. Again, I do apologize for scaring you miss shy, but it was the only thing I could do to not cause great harm to the manticore, nor did I want to harm any of the wildlife nearby if I used some of my other abilities.” I say truthfully as the yellow mare looked at me with a calm gaze before smiling sweetly towards me.

“Its no problem. Mr. McCloud I will admit that roar did scare me, but I can’t really fault you for what you had to do. Especially since manticore are predatorial creatures I am just glad you didn’t hurt the creature badly and choose to scare it off instead of killing it. But just try to keep try not to roar so loud the next time something like this happens… if you can.” She said in a sweet tone to which I smiled back at her as I gave her a thumbs up.

“No problem and please call me Frank after all Mr. McCloud is my father.” I say to which Fluttershy nodded the action so cute to describe in words.

Soon the princesses plus Twilight arrive as Pinkie then pops up in front of me with cupcake in hand to which I accepted it gladly as Twilight then spoke.

“Glad to see that you’re getting along with rest of my friends Frank. By the way I was told by the princesses that you were staying in the Everfree during heat season, correct?” she asked to which I nodded as soon everyone all stopped what they were doing and were now looking at me.

“Wait hold on, you stayed in the Everfree? Why in the world would ya stay in a place like that?” asked Applejack to which Rarity then spoke.

“I agree with Applejack, that place is the most dangerous place for any pony to step foot on. With all the muck and dirt that the forest seems to spread.” She said as Rainbow then spoke.

“Not to mention how strange it is especially with how the weather works on its own, the animals took care of themselves, and the plant life also grow by themselves.” Said Rainbow as Twilight then spoke.

“Not to mention the many deadly creatures that lives within the Everfree such as hydras, cockatrice, and so many other creatures.” She said as they all had worried looks as I chuckled at their expressions.

“Darling this is no laughing matter this is-…” she was cut off as I raised my hand to her before catching my breath.

“What you all just explained to me sounds like how things work back on Earth, mostly on how the weather, animals, and plants work on their own I mean, for its that same thing that happens back where I come from. As for the creatures well, that was a first for me, but I was able to pull through, though I admit that I had to break out of a hydra after it swallowed me whole and a cockatrice that was trying to make the drop on me. Then again, it’s nothing I couldn’t handle compared to what I had to deal with back on Earth and no I am not trying to brag or anything like that for it was a literal pain to deal with.” I say as I held onto my head as the memory of Kane and his generals cause a small headache to form.

“He ain’t lyin every pony.” Said Applejack as many eyes were on me some staring at me with shock and amazement while some looked at me with desire much to my bewilderment.

I also noticed the Twilight writing some stuff on a scroll with a quill in her magical aura. Though Pinkie seemed to smile at me honestly before letting out a giggle.

“Wowie no wonder you’re so strong. To think we’re all in the presence of a real-life superhero straight out of a comic book.” She said with a smile as the sight of her seems to ease the headache I was having as I smiled at her.

Soon Eris appears and proceeds to wrap around me like a snake as she rubs her snout onto my cheek.

“Not to mention he is also stud don’t you all agree?” she says as she continued to rub onto my cheek while also noticing the blushes that the other mares were having which was weird to me because I didn’t know why they were reacting that way.

“By the way this handsome stud also has a talent with music. Why not sing us a song us a song Frankie boy?” said Eris much to my shock because I wondered how she knew about that.

3rd POV

Frank stared at Eris with wide eyes as the other ponies started to cheer at him to sing as Pinkie disappears than reappears with a boombox and microphone as Eris coils out off from Franks body as Frank was given the mic and was becoming nervous as the crowd was looking at him. Soon Celestia and Luna walked over to Eris with anger on their faces while Eris smirks at them.

“What are you doing Eris?” asked Celestia as Luna says her piece.

“Why would you put Sir McCloud on the spot like that? Are you trying to make a fool out of him in front of our ponies?” said Luna as the chaos goddess giggles at the two princesses.

“Oh, calm your butts down, after all you might like what Frank is about to do.” She said pointing toward the human as Pinkie is seen whispering the song she was about to play as Frank is shocked, but later nods at her as Pinkie moves toward the boombox before pushing play onto the device and as Frank heard the song begin everything around him fades to black as the song starts to take over.

Note: song doesn’t belong to me.

A he sang the first part of the song every pony had all eyes on him as he continued on with the song and as the second began he began to let off a dance reminiscent to the king of pop as the other ponies began to move a bit to the beat of the song. Yet his movements draw the mares and some stallions closer to him as Celestia and Luna were also drawn to this as if being drawn by a hypnotic force emanating from the human. The mane 6 were shocked as well as they also started to dance while also keeping track of Franks movements. Just as he sang the slow part of the song every pony began to see him differently some of as an earth pony stallion, a unicorn stallion, Pegasus stallion, and to the princesses an alicorn stallion and just a the beat drops everyone was engulfed in a force as they all started dancing not noticing the glow Frank was giving off as it looked as if he was covered in white as he continued to sing while also twirling around. It was then that the song came to an end as everyone began to cheer for him some clapping as they were panting as if the human had taken their breath out of them as Frank rubs the back of his head sheepishly at the praise.

“That was awesome big guy!” said Rainbow as Rarity spoke up.

“Darling that was truly divine I didn’t think you had such a voice.” She said as the human chuckled at this.

“Yeah, I guess you could say its my special talent, back home many called me the human radio because of how I am able to sing like the artist of the song.” He said as every pony were amazed at this.

“How about another song?” asked Pinkie Pie as every pony cheered in agreement as Frank sighed at this.

“Why not?” he said as every pony cheered as Pinkie whispered the next song to his ear as Frank nods at her.

And just as he presses play onto the boombox Frank was then taken over by the music as the next song played.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH0zo6AcP6g

Note: Song doesn’t belong to me.

He begins singing in language that none have ever heard of, yet it had the added effect of grabbing the mare’s attention as he begins to dance in a way that were he moves his hips and twirl a movement never seen before. Some of the mare seem to swoon at his words some even passing out by his words as they all began to dance along him in the heat of the moment, he pulls over Celestia as they both engage in a tango dance. Though this was a surprise for the solar princess she didn’t mind as she enjoyed every minute of the dance, they were in it wasn’t until after she was twirled away that Frank pulled in Luna who was red in the face, but was able to keep up to the humans movements as they danced and danced. And as the song ended every pony cheered at Frank as both Celestia and Luna clapped at the human as he bowed to the crowd before handing the mic to Pinkie.

The party really went into full swing and one that the human will remember for the rest of his life on Equestria. Little did he know that his performance had ignited a fire between him and the princesses as their hearts continued to beat at a much faster rate as they stared longingly at their beloved human. Though it would seem that he had also caught the eye of some of the mares here in Ponyvile who they are is still a mystery, but the human better watch out because starting today it will be open season for his heart.
