My Kind of Town

Funny how scenery can calm everything. It wasn't long ago that the pilot of the first rocket in Equestria was plummeting to the ground in a big metal can. He climed out of the ship and took in the serene landscape. It was dimly lit but enough to give it a relaxed feel, not creepy. The only thing is that he was standing on a multi-million bit wreck and a wide eyed mare that looks like she is about to have a heart attack. Twilight Sparkle was her name and was carrying a baby dragon on her back.

Hmm, this must Twilight. The pilot of the machine, or at least it was a machine, mused to himself. The mare was paralized in shock from the large contraption smashing into the earth and then what looks like a biped pony bust himself out of it. She could not see his face due to the protective gold film on his helmet's visor. The pilot procceded to grab his head and twist it. Come on, how do you get this stupid thing off? With enough figiting, the helmet's seal opened and steam rushed out of his helmet, startling the mare even further. He sliped off the helmet as the steam caused by rentry floated to the clouds.

"Wow its cold out here, or I'm hotter than I think." The stalion said to himself. "Hey whats up?"

"A-are y-you talking to me?" The purple pony asked.

"Well your the only one here right?"

"Umm, I guess. What just happened?"

"Oh, uhh..." the pilot's mind raced to find a good excuse for almost pounding this mare into the ground with a rocket. His calm expression turned serious and he shot a threatening glare at the mare. "Listen, this never happened, what you just saw, you can't tell anypony. Got it!" The mare was taken back by the command but decided to listen, this pony just fell out of the sky and threated her, she just wanted to get out of there.

"G-got it!"

"And quit shaking, somepony's gonna think your sick or something." with that, she ran off like a bolt of lightning. After about two minutes a voice came on the lone stalion's radio.

"Oh by the way Blackout. I forgot to tell you to get everything out of the pod as fast as you can, it's set to self-destruct in oh I'd say thirty seconds."

"Wait, what?"

"Get everything out of the pod before it goes up in flames, you have twenty five seconds and counting. GO!"

Damn it Gear Head. Blackout made his way to retrieve his duffle bag. "Ten seconds laddie." Gear Head warned. With his gear in hoof, he climed out of the ship and ran, not even bothering to get behing something, he just whent full Forest and Gumped it. It wasn't long before that all too familiar sound rung in his ears. They rung for a while and when it cleard up, he heard that voice on the radio again.

"Hey Blackout, your still alive right?"

"That's a rhetorical question right?"

"What do ya mean by that?"

"You sound like you were expecting me to die!"

"I know how attached to that helmet you are."

"Well I'm alive, anythin going on over there?"

"Ah yes, about that." Gear Head said nervously

"What?"

"The helicarrier is in the shop."

"Why?" Blackout responded, anger in his voice.

"I may have forgotten to oil the rottors and..."

"It crashed into the ground!" Blackout said furiously

"Well crash is such a strong word for the situation. I would use forcefuly met the ground." Blackout went on a rant of anger that the biggest machine, that flew, had been destroyed due to its creator not oiling it. "Don't worry, it's being repaired, but it may take a while."

"How long?"

"Two months."

"Two months!"

"I know it's such a short time."

"No, it's too long."

"Hey two months is pushing the envelope, we can try and hurry but thats the current ETA."

"ETA?"

"Oh yeah, I forget to tell you, the princess wants us to come to the Grand Galloping Gala this year. We just figured it'd be best to just pick you up, and you stay there."

"What do you expect me to do, find a house here?"

"Umm, yes."

"Fine, its better that walking across Equestria."

"Alright then, it's settled, you find a house, and probably a job, and we fix this and meet up at the Gala."

"Sure, whatever."

"Ok, later B."

"Later Gear." Angry and overwhelmed, Blackout made his along the path the purple mare went down. He became surrounded by apple trees and further down the road he saw a small farm, with a countless number of ponies gathered around.

This can't realy be Ponyville can it? As he made his way down the dirt trail he noticed an arch with an apple sign hanging from it. In the middle of the crowd was the purple mare from before being overwhelmed by apple based foods. He decided to keep his distance from the farm, he didn't want to get caught up this, too. After the small pony had eaten the large selection of apple goods she left the farm. Dang, she eats more than I do. She was heading back the path he was on. Oh crap. Looking around he saw nothing close enough to hide behind. Though no longer in his space suit, he could still be recognized. Dropping to all fours he stood were he was and made sure the mare didn't see his face. She passed right by without giving him a passing glance. Well that was easy he thought. Maby this time she's heading towards the town. He followed up another path that led to a small town of wood buildings. He was looking around when he noticed somethinig smash into the purple mare.

It was a cyan pegasis with a rainbow mane. He watched thier mouths and found that her name was Rainbow Dash, who wanted to join the Wonderbolts.

Oh please, not those amatures. But one thing caught his attention, her wager bettinig she could clear out the entire sky in ten seconds flat. He didn't believe it but what happened next came as a complete surprise.

"She actually did it."

"Come again B?" Gear Head asked from the radio on Blackout's chest

"Gear Head, I think I may have found the fourth one."
