Author's Note

I took this story to be all but lost when my drive got wiped three years ago, however I found my backup on an old SD card.

So instead of it sitting in a box I hope you enjoy the naughty clop fic which helped inspire The power of three.
So after an awful year I thought I would give you the beginning of the story before I give you the end.

Chapter 1

Madness in Ponyville

Mark was sitting in his favourite chair with a fresh out the oven, deep pan mozzarella stuffed crust meat feast pizza. He turned the TV on waiting for his favourite TV show to start when an overwhelming bright light and a deafening sound consumed him then everything went black.

His vision was blurred and his head throbbed.

He could hear female voices speaking quietly around him.

Sometime later...

"Shhh shhh! Whatever it is it's waking up" Came from the voice nearest to him. He rubbed his eyes and focused on the room. There stood around the bed were 6 mini looking horses all different colours one of which was flying above the foot of the bed.
"Wh...who are you?" Mark nervously asked the emaculate white equine as she approached him.
Her eyes were a sparkling like sapphires almost mesmerising as she trotted towards him with a strong confident posture and her long thick purple mane swaying as she moved towards him.
Once she was close enough with her face almost in his she gave softly smiled "Well hello darling, my name is Rarity and these lovely fillies are my friends. We've been quite concerned about you, you've been unconscious for three days now. The doctor and nurse have checked you over, we've even had our local vet check you over but none of us seem to have any clue to what you are darling, even Discord was puzzled as to what or who you are. He mentioned something about humans? However they haven't been around for thousands of years darling if they even existed at all."
Mark lay down flat on the bed closing his eyes trying to process all this information wondering if he was still unconscious having a nightmare whilst trapped in a coma.

Rarity touched his face with her hoof. "Ohh darling, you'll be alright. We're all friends here in Ponyville we'll help you out.
Tell me, what's your name?"
Mark opened his eyes taking the room and the ponies in again. "I'm Mark. So this is Ponyville? And you are Rarity? Who's your friends here? And...why is there a flying pony looking at me like I owe them something?"
Mark looked at the the blue pony flapping it's wings with ease he turned away instantly as he saw her teats and genitals on show. He hadn't a clue where he was or who these talking ponies were or how they would react to him staring at their nakedness if they really were naked.
"I wouldn't think twice back home, but somehow something feels different here…wherever ’here’ is" Mark thought to himself.
Rarity rolled her eyes. "Ohh that's Rainbow Dash the fastest pony in Equestria. She's the pony who saved your life" Rarity turned to Rainbow Dash "C'mon Dash be nice, I'm sure he'll thank you properly once he's up on his…err feet?" The blue pony flying above him sporting a Rainbow mane and tail was in front of him within a flash of a second her nose touching his. "Sorry, I'm just messing witcha! I'm just pleased you're alright. I caught you just in time or you'd have gone SPLAAAAAT!!!"

Rarity jumped in all flustered "Err yes, yes but thankfully Mark is here safe and sound. Now I think we should all let him rest, so girls quickly introduce yourselves as you leave and Dash and I shall meet you back at my shop." She put her hoof on his hand "Now you get plenty of rest Mark and we'll come to see you soon. I know it's going to be hard try and stay positive we're going to help you sort out this little predicament that you're in."
Her smile eased him somehow, he was going to thank her but she turned heading for the door he could only watch her tail end swaying as she trotted away a few moments before a purple pony with a dark purple mane a pink streak through it came into view. "Hey Mark, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle. It's a pleasure to meet you. We're doing everything we can to help you get home but first you need plenty rest, so I made you this tea from leaves I collected from the Enchanted forest to help you sleep." She smiled and put her head in her satchel and pulled it out carefully with her teeth and placed it on the bedside table. "Careful now, it's hot." She smiled "Don't worry I have Spike on the case as we speak for a way to get you home. Sleep well" She turned for the door and walked out the same way as Rarity.

Mark watched her tail end comparing her to Rarity when a big pink face shot up in front of his. "Hey! I'm Pinkie Pie! And I love to paaaarty!! When you get out that's what I'm going to throw for you cos we've never had a visitor like you before! It's absolutely mind blowing!!…" Mark watched confused as the ponys voice got louder, higher and faster making his head swirl triggering a painful headache. He thought he was going to pass out then a voice shot out over the chaos.
"Whooah there Pinkie Pie! Ah think he gets the point! Go wait for us outside and give the fella some air!" She chuckled turning to Mark "Pay her no mind she means well but she can be a handful sometimes. Am Applejack by the way, but most folks just call me AJ. I help run the family apple farm n itsa pleasure to meet ya! Hopefully we'll have you feeling better in no time!" She left a Small satchel with four apples on the bedside and left. Then a yellow pony nervously stepped out of the shadows of the corner of the room and spoke almost whispering "He...hello there, I'm Fluttershy. I hope you get better soon…" Her voice sped up as anxiety overwhelmed her. "I-I-I baked you a pie! Get well soon! Goodbye!" And she took off through the door.

Mark watched her yellow fur and pink mane blur into one as she cantered out the door. He lay back down on the bed closing his eyes processing everything as the smell of Twilight's tea and Fluttershys fruit pie made his tummy rumble. He sat up in the bed and picked up the tea and blew on it before taking a sip. “Mmm” it was good it was sweet with a mixture of berries. He then pulled a slice of the fruit pie it tasted like five fruit pie from home. It was delicious, he washed it down with Twilight's tea he could feel himself becoming relaxed and sleepy he looked over to the basket of apples AJ had left, all big and red they shined he picked one and bit in to it. The crunch was as crisp as autumn leaves and the juice exploded in his mouth his eyes rolled he'd never had an apple like ideept in his life it was exquisite. Shortly after, his eyes grew heavy and he slipped into a relaxing sleep.

Morning arrived the sun was bright and Mark could hear the morning rush hour over the birdsong, busy voices trying to get to their destinations and the sound of hooves beating the ground…"Ponyville!" Mark yelled shooting upright in bed. "It wasn't a dream I'm really here!" He looked at the bedside table with the fruit pie and tea leftover from last night. "What in the hell is this place?" He sat back taking a few deep breaths. As his belly rumbled he picked up the cup of now cold tea and took a sip. It was still good so he carried on before reaching for the last slice of delicious pie and devouring it.
He got out of bed and stretched, seeing his clothes on a table he took off the strange gown which had four leg holes and one at the back what he presumed to be for the tail. He stood naked as he picked up his top and pulled it over his head just as Twilight Sparkle's head popped around the door gasping upon seeing Mark without his clothes on. She withdrew and gave a nervous knock. She'd never expected to see a naked human with the vision of Mark's penis engraved on her pony mind she walked in her cheeks flushed red against her purple fur.

She put a hoof halfway over her vision as she pretended not to look at his member. "Are you decent?" She called out.
"Ohh hey Princess Twilight, I'm sorry I didn't expect anyone to come in so soon. You seem a bit out of breath, have you cantered here?" He asked as he finished pulling his pants around his waist tying the cord. Twilight was still flustered. "Something like that." She said feeling a little dissapointed that he had gotten dressed a little to quickly.
"No don't be, I'm sorry I should have realised you wouldn't be ready yet. It's just we're all quite excited considering the circumstances to learning more about you and I bet you're just excited to learn more about us too!" She smiled, her face glowing as she spoke. Mark sat back amazed at this talking pony was speaking to him. "Thank you for the tea you made me, it was delicious and I'm very grateful. I've never had a princess make me a cup of tea before.

Twilight blushed again. "Ohh it was nothing, it's the least I can do. You are our guest after all."
Mark smiled nervously. "So how do I address you? Your highness? Ma'am?"
Twilight giggled "Goodness no, you would address the queen as 'your majesty' as for me, just Twilight or sometimes my friends call me Twiley." She stepped towards him, stopping suddenly with a wince.
"What's wrong, are you okay?" He asked.
She flustered a moment. "Oh it's nothing, I just got caught up in some thorns in the Enchanted Forest yesterday." Mark looked at her "You got hurt picking those berries for me, didn't you?
Twilight sensed his guilt and flustered. "Don't be silly, we're always getting into scrapes around here, it's fine." As she stepped again she yelped out. "Look Twilight, I used to have a horse back home. Why don't you let me take a look at that back hoof for you?" She flustered as the pain niggled the sensitive part of her hoof. "Okay Mark you can take a look." He put his hand under her chin softly speaking. "Okay, I'm just going to take a look at you, okay?"
Twilight couldn't belive how soft and gentle he was being with her and began to wonder if all humans were this kind.

He ran his hand from her head down her back to comfort her as he made his way slowly to her rear. "You are fascinating, you're so soft and you smell good too." She swooned, quietly smiling at his compliment. Mark got to her flank. Her natural reflex of having something strange behind her swished her tail, brushing Mark's face. He wondered what the punishment would be for looking at a princess's private parts upon seeing her crotch and teats upclose. He savoured the moment in a breath.
"Okay, Twiley, put your hoof in my hands." Twilight lifted her hoof into his hands. "Please be gentle." She whimpered. Her tail nervously swishing faster now.
Mark saw the thorn causing the problem. He needed a distraction to help take her mind off the pain as he pulled out the thorn from her frog, softly saying. "You have a very nice crotch your highness." Twilight yelped and blushed as Mark pulled out the thorn. He rubbed her hoof. "There you go Princess, good as new." He smiled gently softly patting her flank. "Are you alright now? I'm sorry for the crude remark, I just needed a distraction to take your mind off your hoof."
She flustered and blushing intensely. "Ha ha ha, You succeeded...err thank you...for the thorn that is...err not the...you know...do you really think I have a nice cr… nevermind what am I saying??" She sat on her rear and put her hoofs to her face breathing heavy and anxious.

Mark sat beside her and gently stroked her mane making her relax. "Just breathe Twiley, you're okay now." She sniffled and rested her head into him as he stroked her mane slowly running his fingers to her ear caressing the tip of her soft ear. She swooned into him. He felt a little confidence flaring inside of himself. "And yes, I do think you have a nice crotch." He softly chuckled as she gave him a playful tap with her hoof letting out a little giggle over her sniffles making them giggle together.
She felt so warm against his skin he didn't want to move. She head hugged him once more before gently nudging him away. Her eyes all sparkling and doughy as she smiled gratefully to him.

She stood up and tried her hoof to the ground trying her weight on it. "Thank you again Mark. So, you have a horse back home. Please tell me, what are they like? What kinda things do you both like to talk about?" She asked with intrigue.
Mark sat up straight softly smiling thinking of home. "Well, her name was Sasha. She had to move on, due to me having to go elsewhere for work." Twilight saw the sadness come to his eyes. "So, it was serious between you two? I-I'm sorry if I'm being to forward, I don't mean to pry." Mark smiled. "It's alright Twilight. It's not like that back home. You see where I come from our horses don't speak or fly for that matter! We humans just take care of them and they us. As for conversations they are pretty much one sided. Which was usually me doing most of the talking and she would give me the odd neigh or huff" They giggled together. "You must have really cared about her." Mark reminisced a moment. "Yeah we cared for each other. I raised her from a filly, I used to spend hours grooming her, plaiting her mane and tail before taking her out for long rides together...fun times."

Twilight watched him contently a few moments. "Well Mark, you have all of us now...if you so wish and although you maybe a little to big to ride us, however I'm sure we'll have many great adventures together." She smiling at him.
Mark stroked her mane once more "Thank you Twiley."
Mark stood up and faced Twilight who was still sitting in the moment, wondering why he had stood up.
"So my Princess, what is on the agenda for this fine day in Ponyville?" His hand on his chest acting an overcompensating bow
She laughed at his gesture and stood up to join him. "Well good Sir, I think you should escort me through the wading masses as I have a spa appointment booked at three." They both laughed.

Standing up he adjusted his t-shirt and looked out of the window "What's it like out there?"
Twilight watched him a moment as she saw his reality setting in. "You won't find a better place, it's a little busy at times but everypony are always friendly and happy to help if they can." She smiled wide and reassuringly.
Mark turned to her "Can we not just stay in here all day? It's quiet and I’m enjoying your company." Twilight smiled blushing at the thought of staying with him all day. "Well Mark as much as I'd love to stay here and talk with you some more, I'm afraid we have to meet the others so we can show you what such an exciting world you are in right now whilst we work out on how to get you back home."
Mark smiled softly giving her a head pat. "Okay then Twiley, let's go see the others."

Outside the Ponyville General hospital, Mark stood at the entrance facing into the busy street. Ponies pulling other ponies in carriages, others carrying shopping, whilst others were running various stalls and small shops "This is overwhelming Twilight. It's similar to what my home used to be like hundreds of years ago." Twilight watched him taking it all in. "It really is a wonder Twilight I'm starting to see why you like it here so much."
Twilight smiled you haven't seen the rest of Ponyville yet Mister." She trotted forward swaying her behind. Mark stopped mesmerized by her seductive movements, wait was she flirting with him? And what did she mean by not having seen the rest of Ponyville? Ponyville was bigger than this?" He snapped out of it and ran to catch up "Wait! What do you mean 'the rest of it'"
Twilight smiled wide. "C'mon Mister, I'll show you!"

Twilight smiled as she carried on trotting through the streets of Ponyville. "I thought we'd pick up some groceries from the market before meeting the girls for lunch. Hopefully by now they've found some clues on how to get you home."
They came to the first market stall. "So Mark, as you probably know already we ponies are herbivores but we know you're not, as Dr Hooves pointed out your teeth, so which fish would you like? I'm sorry would you like meat instead?" Mark smiled "Fish will be just fine thank you Twiley." She turned with her smile glowing wide. "Okay Mark, pick whichever fish you like." Mark flustered a little and crouched down beside Twilight. "I'm sorry, I can't...err I don't have anything to pay with." He whispered.
Twilight smiled and nudged him with her head. "No silly, I'm buying it for you!" She saw Mark was going to be modest again. "Did you forget? I am the Princess and you are our guest. Now I won't hear another word on the matter." Mark looked into Twilights eyes "As you wish." They stared into each other a moment longer. Mark couldn't get over how lovey her eyes were. He wondered what was making him feel this way.
The stall pony interrupted them by politely clearing his throat. "So then, which fish can I get for ya today?" He asked.

Twilight smiled at the male pony in his long blue apron sporting a pair of glasses on his muzzle with a well styled mustache. "Good morning sir, our friend is visiting from out of town and would like to see your freshest catch please."
The fishmonger came to to life all of a sudden. "Well Princess Twilight, you and your new friend is in luck! My freshest catch this morning are these right here!" He pointed to the fish in the front and centre.
Mark looked at the various fish displayed before him, some looking familiar, some not as much. Mark looked at the fish monger "Hmm, I'll take that one please."
The fishmonger rubbed his hooves together. "Ahh a fine choice sir! A fine choice! Is there anything else I can do you for today?" Mark glanced at Twilight and smiled. "No thank you sir." The fishmonger wrapped up the fish in brown paper into a parcel like shape tied with string in a bow before handing it to Mark. "Well if that'll be all that's three bits please Princess." Twilight smiled and pulled out a pouch full of gold pieces and counted three out on counter and left.
They headed off through the market. "Thank you Twilight and I will repay your kindness." Twilight giggled. "You're more than welcome Mark and I'm sure you will."
Mark patted her head affectionately as they carried on through the market giving him the tour whilst getting the groceries in which they needed talking and laughing as Twiligt showed him around Ponyville. "Okay Mark, we've got everything we need for dinner, now we can head home and see the girls."

Mark being the gentleman, he took the groceries from an overencumbered Twilight. "Okay Twiley, lets go see the girls."
They laughed and talked all the way to Twilights home. Mark looked up at the big Oak tree library with it's front door and windows "So Twilight, you're quite modest for a Princess aren't you? I thought you'd have lived in a grande palace having servants and guards twenty four seven... say, do you have a crown?"
Twilight giggled "Well I was brought up in a palace with servants and guards. However, it made me quite the brat. So my parents sent me here so I could learn friendship and loyalty and I've been here ever since. And yes I do have a crown but I only wear it for ceremonial duties as I want people to know that I just want to be treated as a normal pony." She smiled looking up at him. Mark ran his fingers through her mane. "You are really something special Twiley." She smiled nuzzling into his hand.
