The town of Ponyville was abuzz with activity. Ponies going every which way, the occasional human flying around or doing manual work to help repair the damaged town. It's almost enough to make one forget that a little over a week ago, these two worlds collided and brought creatures and dangerous beasts and monsters of which neither world has seen or heard of before. Almost.

Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie, Dash, Applejack, and Rarity are walking down, enjoying the gentle breeze and the warm rays of the sun.

"How's everypony holding up?" Twilight asks, breaking the ice. The ponies around her look calm enough, but she can easily tell when her friends are stressed about something.

"I feel just fine. I don't mind these human guys, they're cool enough. Plus they remind me of ponies in a way, if that makes sense." Dash says, shrugging at the last part, unsure how to continue.

"Ah'm not so sure. Mah families' been on the same land fer generations, and now some humans show up an' our lands practically split down the middle." Applejack says, huffing."The Orchards seem like nice enough po-er-people, but it's a bit hard, y'know?"

"Oh, I know! There's this girl named Poppy, and she reminds me a lot of myself! She's funny, she likes to make ponies smile, and she's funny! Wait did I say funny already?" Pinkie asks, scratching her chin in confusion. The girls give her confused looks for a bit, but dismiss it as Pinkie being herself.

"Well, I for one do like the vibe they bring to this town. I know the whole world merging this was stressful on them, so I'm more than willing to accept them with open hooves!" Rarity, the ever-generous pony adds. Making the others smile.

It's rather early in the day, but they're ponies and humans about, with the occasional mix of other little creatures they have yet to know of. Sitting outside of the sugar cube corner, two middle-aged women are talking over doughnuts while their children run/fly about, a few other fillies and colts joining them.

"C'mon! Flap harder Breezie!" A filly calls out to a young skypiean boy, no older than ten years old. The young boy flaps harder, sending himself barreling over a bale of hay, eliciting a roar of laugher among the children surrounding them.

Twilight smiles seeing this. "I think it's nice. Two races who didn't even know each other a week prior seem to already get along well enough. I'd say that's a pretty good sta-

CRASH!!!!

"WOAH!"

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE FLYING, BLOCK HEAD!"

"easy there!"

Twilight and her friends look to see a young skypiean with a wild blue mane and wings crash completely into a cabbage stand, sending bits of wood and produce all over the surrounding ponies. The pony in charge of the stand glares at him, looking at him angrily.

The human holds up his hands in a placating gesture, trying to disarm the situation. "My bad, old timer... didn't mean to ruin your stall." He says, smiling sheepishly.

"You're gonna have to pay for that, y'know!" The older pony snaps, stomping his hoof on the ground and making the young boy frown. Another skypiean comes down, this one with a curled, long butter yellow styled mane, with pink edges. His mane style is styled to the point where it runs down his neck in shoulders, making it easy for him to hide his face if he wants.

"Uhm..excuse him, but he got a little carried away..."He says in a sweet, soft voice.

"Tch...Fine! But I'm taking this up with Mayor Mare, just so you know!" The pony snaps one last time, turning around and storming off with an angry flick of his tail.

"*sigh* You saved my ass, dewy"The blue boy says, smiling at the newly named 'dewy'.

"Oh, uhm...it was no big deal. I was just looking after a friend." Dewdrop says, a sweet smile gracing his lips. The blue boy chuckled at his humbleness and slugged him on the shoulder playfully. "Catch ya later, K? Those clouds aren't gonna nap on themselves!" He says, rocketing off somewhere at near-blinding speeds, leaving a trail of blue and white behind him.

As the mane 6 watch this go down, they can't help but think these guys are a bit more similar than they initially thought.

"Girls, I think I may have a hypothesis forming about these humans," Twilight says cooly, her face unreadable as she addresses her friends. This does nothing but help put them even more on edge. "I believe they may have come from an alternate universe or dimension of sorts. I've seen a lot of similarities among our two worlds after they merged. The similar names between cities and towns, and even in the ways they act."

"Ah was comin' to the same thing mahself, just didn't wanna believe it," AJ says."Just the other day, ah saw three little human girls running around yappin' about getting their "emblems". Not only that, but one of em' was a sister of Willow, that girl next door. Recokon that sounds a bit like three little fillies ah know.."

"And with those two young stallions at that poor ponies cabbage stall..."Fluttershy says, but the word used makes the ponies pause.

"And poppy!" Pinkie adds happily.

Deciding to pitch in her two bits, Rarity adds "Applejack mentioned something called 'Emblems', yes? I believe those may be the human version of cutiemarks?"

Shaking her head, Twilight tunes back in. "Well, no matter. I'll have to study this a bit more. Later girls!" Twilight says, galloping off presumably to her library.

Poppy's POV

Man, this place is so great! Well, I guess it's the same thing as Terra, with it being an alternate world and all, but still! I even met a pony that acts pretty much like I do! I've been bouncing around town for like, an hour or two now just taking in the sights, and the people who used to live in Humanville before are pretty used to me doing this, but the ponies look at me like I've grown a third head!

Opening her eyes, Poppy sniffs a familiar smell to her left. CUPCAKES! Making a mad dash for the confection shop, she stops just in front of the mirror where the tasty treats are and looks at her reflection. Poppy is an Earthling, around eighteen years old, and she has wild dark pink hair, with purple-pink and yellow freckles on her cheeks. She has two sets of purple eyes; her emblem is a rainbow blast of balloons and confetti.

Deciding she's done enough staring, she strides through the door, only to see two familiar faces.

"*GASP*! Rory! Gemstone!" Sitting at the table she was smiling at sat two elves, one a young man with striking blonde hair with shimmering silver and lilac undertones, and striking cerulean eyes. He had two diamond earrings on his ears, and a nicely made, but comfortable set of clothes on. His emblem was a shimmering diamond surrounded by rubies, with a needle and thread surrounding it all.

The next elf was a young woman, around the same age as Gemstone. She had slightly pale skin, with a lavender undertone, and dark violet hair, with a pink streak going through it, often held back in a ponytail with two strips of her hair hanging down her face beside her bangs. She wore a cute pair of thick glasses on her face and a sweater with a comfortable pair of light breathable pants.

"Poppy, darling! What a surprise it is to see you!" Gemstone says, an inviting smile on his face.

"Hi, poppy!" Rory says, a big smile on her face as she waves to her friend. Poppy smiles as she bounds over to her friends. She just knows this day is going to be great.
