Meeting a Stranger In/From a Strange World

The rain has cleared leaving behind puddles of mud throughout the field like landmines. Small craters strum about the battlefield the storm left in its wake. He stands up and puts his hands on his hips to try and hold steady after the fall. Still nauseous he notices that the sky-blue Pegasus is still laying on the ground gasping air and her eyes are halfway open.

He sprints toward her to check if she's alright. His own speed surprises him as he stops right behind her. He overshot the destination. He shook it off, turned around, and kneeled down in front of the pony. he noticed that this pony had wings, had all sorts of color on her body like a vibrant art piece, not to mention that he believes she spoke to him while he was falling.

"Hey... Thank you for saving me... you okay?" He asks with concern in his voice.

She senses the concern in the words and determines he's not hostile at least yet, he does seem fast at least. "Yeah I'm good. My Awesomeness is still in tact" She correlates as she is helped up by a strangers arm. She steps back and scans the anomaly that is standing in front of her. He seems to be doing the same thing.

He speaks first "Okay since you were the one that saved me certain doom, I'll introduce myself first. I'm Anon." He says sternly as he waves at his new acquaintance. "Okay sooooo who are you??"

"You mean you don't know?? I'm THE Rainbow Dash. The greatest flier in all of Equestria" she retorts as if she needed to announce her title lest she would forget how awesome she is.

'Wow ego much?' Anon thinks to himself "Well you have to be really great flier to catch me out of the sky like that... Actually... come to think about it, I've seen you somewhere before, you seem so familiar..." He exclaims to her as he dives deep into his memory to find more info.

"Well Anon, I've never seen you before ever. what exactly are you? you kind look like a monkey but like, less primal?" She questions the Homosapien.

"Actually you're kinda close on that one. I am what is called a 'Human'" He takes a quick look at himself taking note that he is drenched. Then he looks around and notices he's on top of a hill similar to his home but the landscape is a bit different. He spots a village in the distance and gazes upon it. "Rainbow, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..."

"Uhhh I don't know what a 'Kanzas' is, But I doubt it's anything like Ponyville" she says with a smirk. You could taste the confidence in the air.

"Hey uhh... Do you know someone that can help me? I've always wanted to travel which is why I'm not freaking out about where I am, but I still don't wanna be wet and hungry if you know what I mean" Anon states bluntly to Rainbow Dash.

"I do have a few close Friends that may be able to help you out, they are SO gonna freak out though. let's walk to Ponyville, that way we can get to know each other a little better" Rainbow states when she steps forward to lead the way to Ponyville.

Anon walks beside Rainbow Dash and doesn't give her time to ask the first question as his curiosity is almost literally choking him. "Okay so you're a talking Pegasus and judging by the name of the town you're taking me into the inhabitants are all ponies?" He asks quickly for reassurance.

"You are a smart one aren't you? you'll hit it off in Twilight in no time" She responds. So many questions are coming up about where he is and what's going on. But for now Anon will set it off to the side for the moment. Anon wants to learn more about his partner so he turns to look at her however still keeping pace beside her.

"You seem so familiar... This whole place does... like I've seen it on TV before. Everything looks actually kinda like Earth but a little more vibrant in color. Not only that but you guys kinda look like cartoon characters, but realistic. Like if a REALLY talented fan artist drew you or something..." Anon rambles on until Rainbow cuts him off.

"I'm not sure if that was a complement but thanks anyway. So this 'Earth' is your home?" She asks her Human companion.

"Yeah it is" He says losing emotion in his voice.

"You're worried aren't you? About getting home that is..." She asks with a hint of sorrow in her already raspy voice.

They both stop at the same time. Anon perks up and smiles looking into the sky. "It's a beautiful day, I'm not worried at all actually" He states as he turns to look at his Pegasus companion in her eyes. Anon now has a look of determination in his eyes similar to that of a storm. "I've always wanted to travel and see new places, if I can't get home, then I'll make a new one"

Almost as if on que the sun shines a bit brighter lighting the world around them a bit while wind brushes the terrain around them.

"Alright! then seeing as how I found AND saved you, you're kinda my responsibility today, I'll show you around, have you meet my friends and get you started on your adventure!" She pumps her hoof in the air which causes Anon to chuckle to himself. Looks like they can make friends from just about anywhere.
