It was a peaceful day in the quaint town of Ponyville. I looked out on the balcony of the temporary housing unit I was staying in and sighed.

Crazy that only a week and a half ago I was in Canterlot being questioned for my sudden appearance through some sort of weird non-destructive explosion.

I gotta say , It was particularly difficult explaining to the royalty and the nobles of Equestria that I was from a completely different realm and I was a completely different species before ending up there.

Yes, you heard that right. Now I'm not exactly sure what kind of sorcery it happened through, but when I was thrown into this world head-first , I had to get not only used to a new place, but a new body.

I must have been the laughing stock of literally everywhere in Canterlot and Ponyville because I literally couldn't figure out how to do anything for the first few days. Hooves and being 4-legged were the least of my problems, I had to learn how to eat properly, do my business properly , and even all the while having to pick up a job to sustain myself in the meantime.

The only being I recall being empathetic and curious towards me was the ruler (Princess Celestia)’s younger sister, Princess Luna.

When I stayed in Canterlot those first few days I was very lost , I didn't know how to answer a majority of their questions and I felt completely out of place, probably because I was for the most part. Princess Luna, However, surprisingly took it upon herself to help me with adjusting even the slightest to the lifestyle and normality's of this strange new world.

Her voice was very stoic-like , sometimes it sounded like she was speaking in a Victorian-sounding Dialect or she was from medieval England. I decided not to think too much of it .

She gave me books to read , she lectured me multiple times on different things about Equestria , such as its history, which is funny because she lived through a decent portion of it . Yeah, she is old , really old , like older than old , and as she explained to me , it probably didn't help that she was banished to the moon for 1000 years, however that is supposed to work. But this came to my benefit when she told me stories of an Equestria from long ago and how they had to deal with things.

I often was intrigued by our conversations , she had too many tales to tell and enough of a mental backlog of information to fill up multiple large rooms of books.

When I was eventually sent back to Ponyville by the royalty, I definitely started to feel a bit more adjourned with the pony society. I was told to apply to a local store called the “Ponyville corner store” which was ironic because I worked somewhere very similar On earth. The job however was much more laid back. It was almost boring I dare say, but I can't complain. It definitely sustains me enough to be able to at the least afford a comfortable apartment unit until I get sorted out further .

I was also eventually introduced to the 6 ponies that have on the frequent saved Equestria from complete chaos, terror and collapse. Something seemed somewhat familiar about them , But I couldn't seem to think of exactly what it was.

I was kind of thrust into an impromptu friendship with all of these mares , thanks to Pinkie pie’s over-insistence that she throw me a welcome party. I wouldn't have it any other way though.

It was 6:30 PM and the store was closing in 30 minutes. I started to finish up restocking everything and sweeping the floors . Then I heard some gasps coming from the outside and then what sounded to me like a bunch of ponies dropping to the floor. I looked outside the window and saw a bunch of mares and stallions , a few fillies too bowing down as I tried to make out what was happening . Princess Luna was descending down close to the door of the store, and I quickly opened it and stepped outside.

“Princess Luna… lovely to see you, Do you need something from me?” I calmly said, trying to keep some sort of professionalism.

“ I think we are far past that point my subject, you can just call me Luna” she said with a kind smile and a bit of nervousness on her face

“O.. okay your highness” I said still confused as what was happening

She left out a soft chuckle and directed me to go inside and sit down at a table , I quickly turned the open sign over to make sure no one else would come in

“So what was it that you wanted to talk about ?” I asked curiously

“Oh, not much, I just wanted to see how you were doing and what you have been up to” she said
“That’s… kind of you, um, I guess it hasn't been super crazy around here , just kind of the same thing every day for the most part.” I answered

“Yes, I definitely do understand the feeling , when something gets too repetitive its almost depressing. Being royalty isn't all being posh and fancy you know.” she says in a more direct manner, definitely trying to relate to me

“Oh I'm sure that's very true, not surprising , being a princess doesn't seem like it necessarily calls out “Fun! In the job title” I say a little more casually

“You are very right” she says with more of a surprised look

We sort-of just unintentionally stared at each other for what felt like a few minutes

“That doesn't seem like that’s all you had to say , doesn't it ?”

Luna stared down for a second and looked back up at me

“No, Anon, actually I meant to ask you…”

She hesitated for a moment then sighed

“The Grand galloping Gala is coming up , my sister told me I could invite anypony I wished and I guess… I could only really think of you as an option. Would you like to attend and be with me for the night?” she said holding in a small but noticeable blush

“Of course I would, just give me the time and place and I will be there” I said smiling at her
Luna smiled back intensely , then summoned a piece of parchment that had the royal seal on it… you opened it and it read…

Dear Mr.Anon
You are hereby cordially invited to this year's Grand galloping Gala and have been ,through special request , asked to attend in accordance and association with Princess Luna.

The Gala will be taking place this December 10th at the main halls of the Canterlot castle. We hope to see you there .

• The Royal Family

As soon as I looked up from the parchment , I noticed that Luna has departed and is raising the moon for the beginning of the nighttime .

Still trying the process the situation in my head. I yawned and entered the store one last time to turn off all the lights and locked the door behind me. I finally thought to myself “Well, guess I'm someone's special guest now”
