(Mary POV)

I waiting for my sister. It was awfully cold today so I was was wearing my favourite dark grey jacket, a white t-shirt underneath and dark blue jeans.I smiled “Hey sis, how was work?”

My sister Evalyn was wearing a dark blue summer style dress, she was also wearing sandals instead of boots. She limped over to me as she groaned “Terrible, everyone kept making stupid demands of me.”

I nudged her “Well it’s over for the day, let’s go and get lunch.” I helped her along our usual route, it was down aside streets that didn’t have anyone walking around and cars rarely came down this way. It was odd we saw a strange walking down the road coming closer, I ignored them. Maybe they lived around here. How wrong I was, as we got close he pulled out a knife. Before I could react he swung at me, I gripped my throat as I felt my blood trickling down my neck.

I collapsed to the ground my vision started to blur as everything went dark. I groaned as I regained consciousness, I saw bunch of strange cat sized equines looking at me in a mix of fear and awe, my sister would not like this. I stood up only to see a huge purple bear flying over my head, it looked like it had stars inside it. Evalyn ran over to me but now the entire surface of her left eye was red and the right was blue, her head warping between several unnatural directions. Her clothes were white and she had a red gash across her chest.

I grabbed her “EVALYN, IT’S ME MARY!” Evalyn turned to me, her eyes returned to normal. Her red and blue irises staring at me. She wrapped me in a massive hug, I frowned “Before we do anything, we need to deal with the bear.”

Evalyn nodded, she smirked as she summoned two goat skulls. One had had a red left eye and green right eye while the other had a blue right eye and a green left eye. Both blasted the huge bear, turning it to ash. Evalyn turned to me with a smile “Now that’s dealt with…” Her eyes widened as she saw the small equines. She darted behind me “Those horses are going to get me.”

I groaned “Relax, they are not going to hurt you. They have homes and buildings, they are clearly intelligent.” I turned to a cat sized purple pony with a tricoloured mane “My name is Mary, what’s yours?”

The mare eyed me cautiously “I’m Twilight Sparkle, this is Ponyville. Could you tell me how you got here?”

I frowned “We were attacked by someone and ended up here. We are not sure why.” I placed my hand behind her neck, giving her neck rubs. She relaxed, laying down her belly. I smiled, they were just like cats. I turned to Evalyn “They won’t hurt you, look.”

Evalyn poked her head from behind me, a shy looking yellow winged pony with a pink mane slowly approached her. Evalyn hesitantly held out her hand, the pony slowly sat on her lap “My name is Fluttershy.”

Evalyn slowly rubbed her hand against the mare’s back, calming down in the presence of Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled “We aren’t your enemies, I promise.” Fluttershy curled up like a cat in my sister’s lap.

I turned to Twilight removing my hand “I am hoping we could build a house nearby, one that would suit our size. I am aware that it won’t be an easy task but I would rather not sleep on the dirt for the foreseeable future.”

Twilight recovered, blushing slightly. She shook her head before smiling “I’ll see what I can do but I need to send a letter to the Princesses first.” I nodded turning to my sister who was still patting Fluttershy.

I frowned as one of the flying ponies approached. Her mane was a rainbow of colours and her coat was a light blue. She was glaring into my eyes “Why should we have trust you anyway? You just turned up out of nowhere, what if you are spies for invaders!”

An orange pony with a yellow mane wearing a stetson glared at light blue pony in front of me “Rainbow, stop accusing everypony you see of being spies just because they are different or know something. Ah’m pretty sure sending a giant to spy on someone is a stupid idea, they were found immediately.”

Rainbow landed next to the pony “Applejack, don’t you find their story even slightest bit suspicious. They just told us some vague line about being attacked and ending up here for some strange reason.”

Applejack looked at Rainbow “Ah would have thought the same but having been witness to a one thousand year old legend come to life before mah eyes, Ah have learned that the impossible can happen. We have both witnessed it, stranger things have happened then two giants appearing out of nowhere.”

I turned away from them as a small flash of golden light revealed a pristine white pony with a horn and wings. She was about as large as a big house cat, larger than the other ponies around me.I bowed my head “You must be the Princess, it’s pleasure to meet you.”

The Princess nodded with a smile “I am Princess Celestia, my sister Princess Luna is taking care of the court while I am here. She has only returned recently and has one thousand years of catching up to do on how leading our nation has changed.”

This Princess Luna likely was this Nightmare Moon, likely jealous of the Princess of the Sun. It would fit with the naming and the most logical outcome. I frowned “My sister and I need help in constructing a place to stay. I understand that will be a difficult task but I would rather not sleep in the cold for the indefinite future.”

Celestia smiled “Well I’ll see what I can do in Canterlot but that will take some time.”

I nodded “Just don’t approach my sister too suddenly, when she was a little girl she had an accident with an equine from our world. She has been scared of all equines ever since, the only reason why she is calm right now is because of Fluttershy.”

Celestia turned to Fluttershy “Her kindness is something very rare, although she is usually quite timid.”

I frowned “You know her better than I.”

Before she could respond a letter popped up in front out of green flame, Celestia read it in front of me. Celestia sighed “This is Twilight's letter telling me about you. I was already aware of your arrival, I picked up the dimensional disturbance.” She then looked at Evalyn’s huge gash “Is she alright?”

I nodded “Yes, she will be fine. I don’t think she has noticed the scar.” With that Celestia teleported away. I wondered how our new home would look.
