Tokyo Equestria
The first day
Previous ChapterNext Chapter*A/N I don't know a damn thing about Eastern culture outside what I've learned from 80's kung fu movies. Do not expect this to be accurate, do not get high hopes for this, do not yell at me please. Furthermore I don't intend to make this actually in Tokyo, it's just the name of the fic. Remember, I hate you- enjoy this story*
Twilight Sparkle slowly opened her eyes, slightly stretching her muscles and yawning. She sat up and ran a hand through her hair to brush it out from in front of her shining violet eyes and smiled.
The smile immediately disappeared as she quickly brought the hand back in front of her face and stared at it intensely. She frowned at her appendages as she looked them over.
"I'm a monkey."
"I'm Ko, and you're too cute to be a monkey."
Twilight yelped and tried to leap back but fell over her unaccustomed limbs. She crawled backwards against a wall and stared at the source of the voice.
A young man sat against the wall opposite her, wearing only a pair of pale blue boxer shorts and cotton gloves. He winked at her and stood up, causing her to flinch and jerk her head towards him as though she were trying to headbutt him from afar. For some reason, she panicked when he was unaffected, and began whimpering and cowering.
"I'm not going to hurt you miss!"
Ko stepped back and put his hands behind his head, sitting back down and smiling.
"See, I'm harmless. I promise I won't hurt you."
"Promise?"
"Promise. My name is Ko, what's yours?"
Twilight hesitated for a moment, looking over the boy before she answered.
"Twilight Sparkle."
Ko stood up slowly and sat next to Twilight. He smiled nervously to her and offered a hand, Twilight looked at it confusedly until Ko put her hand in his and slowly shook it. Twilight took a few moments, but returned the gesture and the smile.
"If you..if you don't mind me asking Twilight...What happened to you?"
"I'm not sure honestly. One second I'm about to preform an interstellular transportation spell, the next I'm waking up in Celestia knows where with a talking monkey- no offense."
Ko smiled and nodded, hoping she was only joking. Twilight continued looking over her body, poking at parts she thought odd. Ko closed his eyes and tried to think.
Alright so, crazy girl in an alley, thinks she a wizard from another dimension, not used to human bodies. How fun this will be...Wait, what's she doing?
Ko turned to see Twilight fondling her own chest, a small blush crossing her face as she gently massaged her breasts. A soft moan crossed her lips and she closed her eyes from the unexpected pleasure she found in exploring her body. Twilight had almost all but forgotten Ko was there until she felt his hands grab both her wrists and pull her away from herself. She looked at him, not understanding why he would stop her. His face was almost entirely crimson.
"D-Don't do...that.."
"What are these?"
Twilight lifted up her shirt and pointed to one of her small breasts as though to emphasize her curiosity. Ko quickly moved his hands in front of his eyes, peaking out of the fingers as he did.
"P-put them away Twi! It's indecent!"
"What?"
"You can't just go touching yourself it's...it's bad. Do that at night, alone."
Twilight cocked her head to the side for a moment and gasped.
"Little ponies who touch themselves at night make Luna cry!"
Ko sighed and buried his face in his hands.

Princess Celestia stood several feet taller than Spike and was unintentionally imposing. Though a regal beauty and usually the epitome of benevolence, when cross the royal alicorn was no less fearsome than a pack of hydras. She stood with horribly uncharacteristic frown on her face, staring down at the crying baby dragon.
"Where is she Spike."
Her voice was emotionless, her question more of a demand for knowledge.
"She just disappeared!"
"What was she doing Spike."
"I...I don't know your highness...She kept saying a lot of big words I couldn't understand- some kind of a teleportation..."
Celestia looked down and sighed, laying on her side and hugging the dragon with a wing. She nuzzled him affectionately and let him cry into her chest.
"We'll find her Spike, don't you worry."
--
"Alright so you're from a magical land of talking pastel ponies led by two nearly omnipotent immortal goddess horses, you yourself are a purple unicorn and holder of a super important mystic artifact along with five other magic talking ponies, and your brother is a teeny baby dragon?"
"Correct."
"....."
"...."
"Against all common sense and proper judgement I believe you."
The two had left the alley with little words when the sun began to rise and, after stopping to get new clothes, Ko brought Twilight to a small restaurant where they now sat across from each other and away from others. Twilight was currently caught between trying to explain Equestria and trying to eat a few days worth of fried peppers and mushrooms.
"You...Really?"
"Yeah, I mean stranger things could happen....right?"
A moment of silence passed between them as Twilight stopped eating and simply stared at Ko with a green pepper hanging out of her mouth. She gave the young man a look he found very womanly and made him feel slightly stupid. Ko gave a nervous laugh and ran a hand through his long black hair.
"Heh...Yeah, guess not. Anything can sound silly when you say it like that though. I mean I'm a talking hairless ape in a world where magic doesn't exist and instead we run and fly in giant metal cartridges."
"I never thought of it like that Ko, do you think there are other worlds even sillier?"
"I hope so, I'd rather not be the weirdest thing in existence. Tell me more about Equestria, it sounds fascinating."
The purple eyed girl smiled and began telling stories about her adventures with her friends, of Celestia and Luna, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra. Ko raveled himself in her stories, smiling and silently applauding the parts he liked.
When Twilight finished both her stories and her meal, Ko stood and quickly walked out of the restaurant and down the street having the girl follow him. The two sat on a bench by a small riverbed and Ko invited Twilight to ask questions about Earth.
"Well, Earth has a lot of countries each governed primarily by their own selves, we're in Japan, which is the easternmost country of the world. We have an emperor but, he's basically just a symbol of state and has no power. The real government is a legislature called a Diet that has 480 representatives and 242 councilors, and also an executive and judiciary branch. There is a caste system still but it isn't recognized much or really at all, the only real acknowledgement now is who can openly carry swords. You said your currency system was something called bits but most trade and service is bartered with other trade and service since your people have singular natural talents you excel at more than others and usually take that as a career path. Us humans don't have something like that, we fight each other using knowledge and skill to find a position in life, the winners get more money for often less work, while the absolute loser gets nothing and ends up as a thief or dead living homeless, or something like that generally."
"That's horrible! Doesn't anybody do anything to help them?"
"Well there are countless organizations that take charity donations and split the fund between themselves and those who need it, the government makes some structures that will house some or feed some, and the common people sometimes give change or food scraps. I feel the most assistance comes from religious groups, primarily the Christian influences, they allow anyone who comes to live on their grounds so long as they work for their keep, they help people find jobs too and offer food and basic medical services."
"Okay...what's religion and Christian?"
Ko waved and sighed.
"No Twilight that would take too long to explain and nobody can do it well enough anyway. You've met gods in your world- the princesses, you know as well as can be known of your origin. Ponies it seems have no need for religion, and it's just a dangerous game to play in any way. Wars and slaughters are started in the name of religion, and countless people die."
Twilight was silent for a long time staring into the water before she turned to Ko. She stared at him for even longer, taking in the sight of her new friend. He was much taller than the other humans, and judging by the items familiar to her in this world he would have been six foot tall. His hair was darker than Luna's night, reaching beyond his waist with a few locks that fell in front of his stone gray eyes. His skin was lighter than Twilight's. While her skin looked practically porcelain, his was tanned, almost a light brown. He wore a strange light blue outfit he called a Kenpo-Gi, something she had seen Rainbow Dash wear before when she tried teaching Applebloom Karate. He looked back into her eyes at first but his face turned slightly pink and he looked away.
"Your world sounds...horrible...but you look so harmless and kind..."
