Chapter 2:Welcome and Friendship

“My parents died in a car crash. A semi hit the passenger side, took it clean off, and my dad with it. The whiplash was so severe that it caused the seat belt to break my mother's neck. I've been living with my aunt and uncle since.” I told them. I had explained before hand what cars were, so that they wouldn't have to interrupt this painful part of the past. If I stopped I would never get going again. I was fighting back the tears the memories of my parent's mangled bodies brought when I was suddenly tackled by something. Or rather, six somethings. Six furry somethings. I opened my eyes and saw the teary faces of the Mane Six hugging me.

“Uh... why are you all crying? And what's with the spontaneous hugging?” I asked.

“Nopony should have to lose their parents!” said Fluttershy, surprisingly without stuttering.

“Yeah, plus I know what it feels like.” said Rainbow Dash.

“Ah.” was my only reply. I couldn't think of anything to say so I did the only thing possible for this situation. I hugged them all back. Twilight and Fluttershy squeaked. They eventually got off of me.

“Well, back to the story,” I said as I sat up. “I was a crying wreck. My parents had been my only friends my whole life, other kids didn't want anything to do with me, they thought I was weird. I finally found something that made me happy again. A TV show – umm, do you have TV here?” they nodded the affirmative. “Ah, well I found a TV show called... My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Can you guess who the six main characters were?” their eyes widened in realization. Except Pinkie, because as a fourth wall breaker she would already know.

“It's us. We're the main characters aren't we?” asked Twilight. I nodded.

“Before you ask, I have no idea how our worlds are connected.” I told her.

“Well, do we have many fans?” asked Rarity, speaking up for the first time.

“Millions actually. They do all kinds of things, write stories, make fan art, make music. You six have brightened up the lives of almost an entire world.” they began to blush and kick the ground.

“As a matter of fact, pretty much every fan has a 'favorite pony'. One of you that they like more than the others. Though it can extend beyond you to other characters.” I explained.

“Um, d-do you have a favorite p-pony?” asked Fluttershy, once again being shy.

“Yes.” I said simply.

“Who is it?” she asked. I began to blush a bit and fidget around.

“Uh, well... it's ah...” I tried to think of a way to divert the conversation. There wasn't one. “It's Princess Celestia!” I got it out quickly, and looked at the ground blushing. Then I heard a voice.

“Really? Well I'm flattered.” I turned around slowly and there was none other than my favorite pony, bandaged, but otherwise unharmed. And she had heard what I'd just said.... shit.

I looked like a deer caught in the headlights and so I said the first intelligent thing that came to mind.

“Pleasedon'tkillme!” Dammit brain!

“Why in the world would I do that?” she asked, genuinely surprised.

“Uh, well I thought that you would be offended and well... I'm the new Spirit of Chaos, not exactly someone that you would want around.” I said.

“Why would I be offended? And I heard the whole conversation. Those best suited for power-” she said.

“-Are those that do not want it.” I finished for her. She nodded with a smile.

“Uh, well... If you're not going to kill me-” I started.

“And we're not.” she interjected.

“Then what am I supposed to do?” I finished.

“Well you'll stay here at the castle of course.” said the Solar Princess. I must have heard wrong.

“What?” was my reply. I'm on a role today.

“You'll be staying here at the castle.” she repeated. “It's the least I could do for saving my life. And I would like to get to know you better as well.” she said with a... shy smile? The fuck?

“Well, would you girls like to stay here for the next few days, until the Summer Sun Celebration?” she asked, the question now directed at the Mane Six.

“Of course we'll stay Princess. We want to get to know our new friend better too.” said Twilight.

“Friend?” I asked.

“Yeah, friend, you seem nice and you said you never had any friends before so now you do.” she replied.

“And none of you are the least bit put off about me being not only a human, but the Spirit of Chaos as well?” I asked, voice laden with disbelief. They just shook their heads in sync.

“Well, if it doesn't bother any of you then okay.” I said.

“Let's get inside, it's almost time to lower the sun and it's still a bit chilly out here.” said the elder of the two sisters. I noticed that Luna had been quiet the whole time. I looked and saw that she was gone.

Well, things turned out a lot better than I thought. I think I might actually have a chance of surviving! As we walked Celestia showed the girls to their rooms, but did not tell me where I would be sleeping. I just kept following her. Eventually we came to a golden door with the symbol of the sun emblazoned on it. Wait, what? Is this...?

“Uh, princess why are we here?” I asked.

“Because you'll be staying with me.” she said with a cheery smile. And with that my brain flat lined and I blacked out.
