The Visionary of Equestria: Chapter 2
By: jungleboy69

Chapter 2: Welcome to Pony-Ville!

A small golden carriage pulled by to pegasi guards descended from the sky and landed on the ground in the town of Ponyville. “This is it!” Drew exclaimed as they hopped off. “Welcome to Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle!” The town was bustiling with activity, people were going about their business as usual.

Twilight sighed. “Drew, we don’t have time; your mom put me in charge of the preparations of the Summer Sun Celebration.” She explained. “As her student, I must perform my royal duties; Equestria’s fate does not rely on me making friends.”

“Come on, Twilight.” Spike added. “Maybe, this place is great for making friends.” “I’m sure everyone in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about.” “Like her.” They turned to see a girl with pink hair that looked like cotton candy with beautiful blue eyes and large size breasts walking towards them.

She wore a pink top with three balloons on the front, which exposed her midriff, blue daisy dukes with brown suspenders over her shoulders, brown fingerless gloves, pink stocking with one blue pattern of yellow polka dots and another, blue and yellow stripes. She had brown knee-high boots and behind her, a puffy pink tail.

“Allow me...” Drew spoke, before he went up to the pink girl. “Hello, miss.” He greeted. “I’m Drew Spirit-Mane, and these are my friends; Twilight-Sparkle and Spike.” “We’re here to help with the-”

Before he could continue, the pink girl squealed with delight, jumped two feet in the air and sped off to Celestia knows where. The three friends just stared blankly for a moment. “Well, that was interesting all right.” Twilight muttered, causing Drew and Spike to sigh.

(5 mins later...)

“Okay, first off is the food.” Spike said as they walked down the road to Sweet Apple Acres. “I’ve heard Sweet Apple Acres makes the best apple pies in all of Equestria.” Drew added, licking his lips with delight.

“YEE-HAW!!” The three heard a loud cow-boy yell and turned around to see an orange-skinned girl kicking a tree with her right leg, making the apples fall into several baskets. She had long blond hair, tied up into a ponytail, freckles, green eyes, an orange blouse with rolled up sleeves, and a knot right below her breasts, showing her midriff, blue jeans, brown cowboy boots and a hat. She had a long light-yellow tail, held by a headband.

“Hello there!” Drew exclaimed. The orange-haired girl turned around to see them. “Howdy there, y’all!” She greeted with a smile. “Name’s Applejack, pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

Twilight cleared her throat. “Ehem! Good afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is Drew Spirit-Mane and Spike. I’m here to-” She tried to introduce herself, only for Applejack to shake both her and Drew’s hand vigorously.

“Howdy there, Miss Sparkle and Mr Spirit-Mane!” The blond girl replied with a big smile while tipping her hat. “Pleasure to meet ya! Here in Sweet Apple Acres, we like meetin’ new faces and makin’ all kinds of friends!”

“Perfect timing!” She added. “Ya 'all just in time for the’ Apple Family reunion!” “Really?” Drew was excited. “I would love to meet your family.” Twilight’s eyes widened. “Oh no, no, no, we just need to know what’s there going to be.” She explained, trying to decline her offer.

Applejack grinned. “That’s the’ thing about the’ Apple Family!” She exclaimed proudly. “Ya can do both at once!” She rang a bell before yelling. “SOUP’s ON EVERYBODY!!” Suddenly, the earth began to shake as a loud rumbling sound was heard and a stampede came into view.

In a few moments, Drew, Twilight and Spike found themselves in chairs and surrounded by countless people. “Meet the Apple Family!” The cowgirl spoke before taking a deep breath and announced them all. “There’s Apple Fritter. Apple Bumpkin. Red Gala. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp... ”

“And mah side of the family: Lil Apple-Bloom, Big McIntosh and finally, Granny Smith!” she finished, pointing to the sleeping elderly woman on the chair. “Granny Smith, wake up! We got guest to stick around for the party!”

The woman woke up from her nap “Eh? Ya’ all starting already? I’m coming.” Applejack grinned at the three friends. “Why, I'd say you three are already part of the family!” Drew smiled back while Twilight laughed nervously. “Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way.” She added.

“Aren’t you going to stay for brunch?” A small girl with a big red tie on her head asked cutely. “Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do...” Twilight tried to explain but something interuppted her.

*Growl~~*

Everyone’s eyes widened and turned to Drew, who blushed in embarrassment. “Sorry, that’s my stomach...” He chuckled. “I don’t suppose you can spare a bit or two.” The whole Apple family cheered while Twilight groaned and slammed her head on the table.

(3 hours later...)

“Oh man....” Drew moaned with pleasure. “How many pies did we eat, T-S?” “I lost count...” Twilight groaned as she rubbed her stomach. “Well then, the Apples were good people,” Spike commented. “Don’t you think they could be great friends?”

“Spike, Drew...” Twilight asked. “What do friends do?” “Well, friends play games together...” Drew replied. “They talk to each other, share their feelings, spend time together...” “Get in the way of studies by wasting your time with meaningless activities.” Twilight interrupted, making the two boys groan.

She looked at Drew. “Drew, the time we wasted having a simple lunch fest should have been spent doing more productive procedures, like getting through this business a lot quicker. If we finish the job faster, we can spend more time gaining knowledge and Knowledge is Power, Drew. And when your Mom ends up needing help with Nightmare Moon, I’m going to need power.” Twilight said with finality.

Drew sighed. “You know, it wouldn’t kill you to loosen up a bit.” He pointed out. “You know the saying: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Twilight frowned at his reply. “Are you calling me dull?” She accused a bit.

“No...” Drew replied. “I’m saying that my Mom wants you to make friends other than me.” “She wants you to expand your horizons, meet and discover new things.” He added. “She doesn’t want you to spend the rest of your life with your head in the books”

Twilight looked at him, before sighing. “I’m sorry, Drew.” She apologized. “It’s just that you were the only one who’s closest to me and I-” Before she could say anything, a rainbow streak collided with her and sending them tumbling to the ground in a mud puddle. *SPLAT!!*

“Twilight!” Drew exclaimed as he and Spike rushed over to her. “Are...you...okay?” He stopped and his eyes widened when he saw Twilight all muddy, her clothes drenched and her midriff see-through. What was even more embarrassing was the girl on top of her.

She had short rainbow striped hair, goggled strapped on it, a light short blue shirt that exposed her midriff, short sports pants that reached her thighs and showed off her slender legs and white sneakers and a rainbow tail.

Twilight’s face was flushed red like a tomato. “Oh...Hehe, sorry there.” The rainbow haired girl chuckled sheepishly as she took off to the sky with two blue wings. “Here, let me help you up.” She offered, picking her up by her shoulders.

“...Thanks...” Twilight muttered, as she was covered in mud. “I take it you must be Rainbow Dash?” Drew asked her. The said girl grinned. “Yep, that’s me, the one and only!” She replied. “And you guys must be new around here.” Drew nodded. “Yes, I’m Drew and this is Spike, you already meet Twilight Sparkle.”

“Yeah...” Rainbow Dash replied. “Lemme help you with that” She flew away and returned with a dark cloud. She positioned it on top of the lavender girl and jumped on it, causing it to rain on her.

Soon, Twilight was a soaking wet rag, with a very unamused face. “Hehe...whoops” Rainbow commented. “Looks like I overdid it.” “Ya think?” Drew and Twilight asked with raised eyebrows. “Here, how about this?” Rainbow began spinning around Twilight, making a tornado.

“Cool!!” Drew exclaimed with sparkling eyes. Rainbow grinned proudly “My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry!” “No need to thank me, it’s what I can do for-” She stopped talking when she Twilight’s hair was all fluffy and puffed up like a giant cotton-ball.

“Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!” Rainbow burst out laughing like a manic, falling out the ground as she rolled in laughter-followed by Spike who joined her on the ground, holding his sides. Drew managed to stay up but he seemed to be snickering silently to himself.

Twilight was not amused. “What?” She asked, a bit upset. “Sorry...hehehe...T-S...” Drew replied, between chuckles. “It’s hard....to take you...hehehe...seriously, with your hair...like that...hehehe...” Twilight shot him an annoyed look before turning to the rainbow girl. “So, you’re Rainbow Dash?” She asked.

“You got it!” Rainbow replied proudly. “Rainbow Dash, captain of the weather team and the fastest flier in Equestria. You heard of me?” “Well, we’re in charge of supervising for the Summer Sun Celebration.” Drew explained.

“That’s it?” Rainbow asked, stretching her arms before jumping onto a white cloud and lying on top of it like a bed. “Don’t worry, folks.” She added. “I'll do that in a sec- after I'm done practicing.” “Practice for what?” Twilight asked, raising an eyebrow.

“The Wonder-Bolts!” Rainbow gestured to a nearby poster on the wall, showing the Wonder-Bolts. “They’re going to be performing at the Celebration tomorrow, and I’m going to show them my sweet moves!!”

“The Wonder-Bolts?” Drew asked. “Aren’t they the fastest and talented flyers in all of Equestria?” “Yep!” Rainbow replied. “And you’re looking their future member!!” “Pfft! Please,” The lavender girl scoffed. “They'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day.”

“Twilight, please.” Drew placed a hand on her shoulder, making her blush. “What she means is, we have heard of your amazing speed when it comes to flying and we would love to see it first hand, Rainbow.” The said girl looked surprised and blushed a little.

“Well, I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat.” “Really?” Drew smirked. “How about five seconds?” Twilight and Spike’s eyes widened while Rainbow smirked back before she strapped her goggles on. “Bring it...” She replied with fire in her eyes and her cyan wings spread out.

Drew grinned, before he took out a stopwatch. “Then... GOOO!!” He shouted, pressing the button. In an instant, Rainbow blasted into the sky, leaving a rainbow trail following behind her.

She smashes through every cloud that was there-making several connections cross each path, forming a sort of paint pattern in the sky. Finally, she landed on the ground, not even breaking a sweat.

Drew stopped the timer on his watched and looked at it. “Exactly five seconds... Now, that’s cool.” The rainbow-haired girl grinned at him. “Heh! That’s right, I’m awesome!” She replied. Meanwhile, Twilight and Spike had their jaws open in shock, which Rainbow noticed. “Ha! You two should see the looks on your faces, they’re priceless!”

She began flying again. “You guys are a laugh!” She exclaimed. “We should hang out together sometime!” “Anyways, I have to go and finish a few things! See you later!” With that, she zoomed away to the sky. “See ya!” Drew called back, waving at her.

“She...was...awesome!!” Spike yelled. “Yeah!” Drew added. “I can see why my Mom put her in charge of the weather...don’t you think so, T-S?” He asked her, only to see her walking away. “Hey, wait up!!” He called, as he and Spike raced after her.

(5 mins later...)

“Next, decorations.” Spike said, as he checked the list while looking around the Town Hall. “...Beautiful...” “Yes, it is.” Twilight replied while looking at the decorations. “With all this, I'll be at the library in no time to continue my research.”

“Not the décor...Her...” Spike corrected her and pointed at, without a doubt, the most gorgeous being there ever was. She was a gorgeous woman with long purple hair with a swirl and curly locks, fair skin and a purple star tattoo under her left eye.

She wore a white, long-sleeved blouse with a hole that revealed her cleavage, which was a sizable D-cup breast; a long purple skirt, combined with a pair of purple ankle high socks and black stockings. Behind her was a long, elegant purple tail.

Right now, she was elegantly putting up ribbons, carefully perfecting each precision, not leaving any flaws. “No...No...No...Ugh!” She pouted. “It won’t do at all!” “Quick!” Spike began checking on himself. “Tell me, are my scales alright? Does my breath stink? Are my clothes alright?”

Drew smiled. “Excuse me, miss?” He turned to the purple haired girl. “Are you in charge of the decorations?” "Just a moment, please!" The said girl replied as she continued to place ribbons. “I'm 'in the zone', as it were.” “Ah, perfect!” She exclaimed as she tied the last ribbon in place. “Now, how can I help yo-” She stopped and gasped when she saw Drew.

His blue eyes sparkled like gems and his black hair gleamed like velvet. He had a kind and friendly look on his face. “H-H-Hello, t-there...” She stuttered, her cheeks red. “I’m R-R-Rarity.” “Nice to meet you, Rarity.” Drew replied. “My friends and I are here to check up on the decorations.”

“Oh, of course!” Rarity clapped her hands together and turned around. “Please allow me to show you around, I’m sure you’ll love my-Oh my stars!” It was then she saw Twilight’s hair. “What happened to your hair?!”

The lavender girl looked embarrassed at her hair. “Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be on my way.” However, Rarity was having none of it. “On your way? With that hairy monstrosity?” She went behind her. “Nonono! Absolutely not! You’re coming with me!”

“H-Huh?! What are you doing?!” Twilight began freaking out as she was led away by Rarity. “Drew, help!!” “Sorry, Twilight!” Drew called back as he walked out. “I have to check on the music for the festival!” “Spike can handle things here!” He waved at her. “Meet you at the library!” “DREW!!!” Twilight screamed before Rarity pushed her behind curtains while followed by a love sick Spike.

(5 mins later...)

Drew chuckled to himself. Part of him felt bad about leaving Twilight but then again, maybe this will help her to be more social. Unlike him, Twilight was really interested in making friends. She preferred the company of books that other people. The only friend she ever had was him, and even then, the only time they hang out together was when they were studying, or Twilight needed him to test out with her magic.

Nevertheless, Drew was the only friend Twilight knew and he vowed to stay by her side. It was then he heard the melody of birds singing. Curious, he followed it to see where it was coming from. Right in front of him was a beautiful woman with yellowish skin and wearing a pale-yellow sweater with long sleeves that covered her incredible E-sized bust.

She had long pink silky hair that flooded down to her waist, long green pants and green loafers. She was singing along with the birds, her voice was so melodious that it would make any man fall for her beauty and voice. “Uh, excuse me...” Drew spoke, getting her attention.

The girl gasped and turned around while the birds flew off. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.” He apologized. “I believe you must be rehearsing for tonight’s Festival, is that right?” “Y-Yes, sir.” The girl replied softly, her hair covering half her face.

“You don’t need to call me that.” Drew smiled at her. “I’m Drew, and my friend and I are here to supervise for the Summer Sun Celebration.” “N-Nice... to... m-meet you, Drew-w-w...” The girl replied, blushing a bit. “I’m Flutter-Shy...”

“Nice to meet you too, Flutter-Shy.” Drew replied. “I see you have a way with animals.” Flutter-Shy blushed a bit and smiled softly. “DREW!!” She jumped at the sudden angry voice and hid behind Drew as he turned around to see a very annoyed Twilight Sparkles. “H-H-Hey, TS?” He asked nervously. “How ya doing?”

“How I’m doing?!” Twilight yelled angrily. “What kind of guy leaves his friends with someone who’s been making my hair into a mannequin!?” “Sorry...” Drew gulped nervously. “Hey, look on the bright side; the music is sounding great, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Anyway, this is Flutter-Shy,” He added, gesturing to the shy pink-haired girl behind him. “She’s in charge of the music for tonight’s Festival.” “Flutter-Shy, this is Twilight Sparkle; she will be supervising the Summer Sun Celebration.” “H-Hello... Twilight...” Shy stuttered.

Twilight sighed. “Well, may I have a look at the music?” She asked. “Oh...sure...” Shy replied before turning to her feathered friends who returned. “Okay, everyone, let’s do a quick rehearsal, ready?” The birds nodded. “A one, a two, a three!”

The song began; a lovely, cheery song that made one feel like you are flying like a bird, that rests your mind and body, that fills you with warmth like soaking in a warm milk bath. When it was finished, Twilight and Drew were beyond amazed. “That...was amazing!!” Twilight exclaimed, smiling.

“Yeah!” Spike added, causing Flutter-Shy to look at him and gasp. “A baby dragon!!” She squealed, bumping Twilight away and looking at Spike with a gushed face. “Oh, I've never seen one up close before. He's sooo cute!” She exclaimed, making Spike beam with pride.

“Well, well, well...!” Spike replied smugly while Drew helped Twilight up. “She’s quite the animal lover, isn’t she?” Drew asked. “Yeah, thanks by the way.” Twilight replied. “Well, in that case we'd better be going.” “Wait! What’s his name?” Flutter-Shy asked.

“I’m Spike.” The dragon boy replied, causing Flutter-Shy to gasp again. “Wow, you can talk?!” Flutter-Shy replied. “I never met a talking dragon before; I’m Flutter-Shy.” “So, what do dragons like to talk about?” She asked.

“Well, what do you wanna know?” Spike asked. Shy grinned. “Absolutely everything.” Twilight groaned while Drew smiled. As they walked on, Spike began telling Flutter-Shy his story. “Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg...”

(3 hours later...)

As time passed, Spike told Flutter-Shy his entire story who listened in fascination. Drew lagged behind so he could get to know Flutter-Shy better. However, Twilight was growing more impatient and annoyed by the minute.

“...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?” Spike asked. “Oh, yes, please!” Shy replied, excitedly only for Twilight to pull Spike and Drew to her. “Oh, look at that, we’ve arrived!” She exclaimed, as they stopped at a library carved from a great oak tree. “The Golden Oak Library!”

“Well, this is where we’ll be staying in Pony-Ville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep.” She explained “No, I don-Whoa!!” Spike exclaimed as Twilight grabbed him. “Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance!” She spoke in baby talk, making Drew roll his eyes.

“Aww, poor thing...” Shy cooed as she scooped Spike up in her arms. “You simply must get into bed...” “Exactly!” Twilight added, as she grabbed Drew and Spike and pushed them inside. “Well, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!” With that, she slammed the door on Shy’s face.

(Inside the Golden Oak Library...)

“Geez, Twilight?” Spike asked, slightly annoyed. “Rude much?” “Yeah,” Drew agreed. “She’s just being friendly.” “I’m sorry, guys.” Twilight replied, sighing a bit. “But I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time!”

“I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy people trying to make friends all the time” She added. “Now, where’s the light?”

“SURPRISE!!!”

Twilight, Spike and Drew jumped up in surprise as the lights came on to reveal several people inside the library. “Surprise!!” The pink girl from earlier jumped out and blew a noise maker at their faces. “So much for being alone...” Drew pointed out, much to Twilight’s annoyance.

“Hi guys! I’m Pinkie Pie,” The pink girl exclaimed cheerfully, bouncing all around them like a ball. “and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?” “Very surprised...” Drew replied, chuckling a bit. “Is that why you ran off in such a hurry?”

“Yep!” Pinkie confirmed it. “You were all "hello" and I was all *gasp*, remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everybody, and I mean everybody in Ponyville!” Drew stared before smiling. “I like you already...” Pinkie squealed before leaning up to him. “Really...you like me....?” She asked, her eyes sparkling.

“Ahem...” Twilight cleared her throat to get Drew’s attention. “I’m sorry,” She said as she walked to a nearby table. “but libraries are supposed to be quiet” “Well, that’s silly!” Pinkie exclaimed. “What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring!”

“Besides, if you guys are new,” she added. “that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went *gasp*! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Pony-Ville!” She gestured to the bunch of people all around them. “And now, you’ve got lots of new friends!”

To Drew’s surprise, the four girls they met before arrived; Applejack, Rainbow-Dash, Rarity and Flutter-Shy. “Hey, girls.” He replied. “I didn’t expect to see you girls here soon.” “Well, we really didn’t have a choice.” Rainbow smirked. “Pinkie wasn’t taking ‘No’ for an answer.”

“Anyway, darling.” Rarity asked. “What’s it like living in Canterlot?” “Is it as glamorous or exciting?!” She eagerly leaned closer to Drew. “Tell me, what are the clothes like?” “Simmer down, sugar-belle.” Applejack chuckled. “You’re making him uncomfortable...”

“Well, it is exciting...” Drew replied. “Mother told me stories about the land of Equestria and how it was founded by the three pony-folk tribes.” “Your mom?” Rainbow asked. “Yep.” Drew nodded, proudly. “I’m sure you’ve heard of her, Princess Celestia.” Silence fell...

“WHHHHHAAAAAAT!?” The entire library seemed to shake and everyone’s jaws were hanging. “YOU’RE CELESTIA’S SON?!” Rainbow screamed as she got close to Drew, who recoiled a bit. “YOU’RE HER SON?!” “NO WAY!!” Pinkie squealed. “YOU’RE A PRINCE?!”

“Yep...” Drew chuckled in embarrassment. “Her adopted son, Prince Drew!” “Well howdy do!” Applejack exclaimed. “If I had known you were royalty, I would have made my famous apple-cobbler cream cake!!” “Oh my, forgive me, your highness.” Shy stuttered, her face red.

“P-P-Prince...” Rarity stuttered. “Oh...MY...STARS!!!” She squealed, before grabbing hold of Drew’s shoulders. “TELL ME!!” She exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “What’s it like as a prince?!” “What’s it like living in the palace, having servants, fancy clothes.... Please, I Must Know!!!”

“Uhhh...” Drew mumbled, a little embarrassed as everyone else gathered around him.
Twilight just looked on. Strangly, she was a little peeved seeing how close those other girls were to Drew. She felt a pain in her heart whenever Rarity held him at his shoulders. “What is this?” She thought. “Why do I feel this way?”

Shaking his head, she poured some soda into a cup and drank from. However, her face grew red, and smoke seemed to blow out from her ears. “T-S, are you okay?” Drew asked. Her response was a loud whistling sound from her ears as she jumped up five feet in the air and bolted up to her room.

“What’s with her?” Drew asked. “Aww...” Pinkie Pie cooed. “Aww, she's so happy she's crying!” “Actually, I think it’s this.” Spike replied, picking up a red bottle from the table and the label clearly read ‘Hot Sauce.’

Drew sighed, before he poured himself a cup of lemon-lime soda and stood at the center of the room. “Citizens of Pony-Ville!” He announced. “As, prince of Equestria, I wish to thank you all for your hard work and dedication and it is an honor to celebrate this day!”

“The day where our glorious Princess Celestia rise the sun of every day, to the fullest of our lives.” He continued as everyone watched him with wide smiles. “Without it, we all wouldn’t be able to see all those we love and value our beautiful home we all cherish together.” He raised his cup high. “To Princess Celestia and to Equestria!!”

“To Princess Celestia and to Equestria!!” They all called out and drank from their glasses. For Drew, this has been an exciting day for him. If only Twilight could see it this way.
