So, after about my little 'fun time' with Spitfire, we set to meet up in a few days for a date -- seeing as she had to help out with that Rainbow Factory thing. Whatever that meant. Anywho, I decided to take a visit to the nearby areas of the place. Turns out, there's a nice, quiet, town of Ponyville where a historical landmark is placed for a few big events that happened in the past few years.
I took the liberty of having my pilot fly me there; of course I had to pay him extra... After the little fiasco over the CAD to BITS deal. I hate currency exchange... Anyways, on our way there, he pointed out some hotspots for me to check out near Ponyville. The Ponyville Town Hall, it's Library, and the Bakery. Apparently 'Sugar Cube Corner', as he called it, sells a lot of varied foods that taste absolutely delicious. Guess I can indulge in my sweet tooth...
"Say..." I spoke over to the pilot, who just raised an ear to me.
"What's it like? ... To be a pony, I mean." Stupid question...
"What are you? Some bigot?" He growled at me, and I clearly saw my mistake.
"N-no! I-I'm just curious! That's all!" I tried to pick myself up, only for him to laugh.
"I'm kidding. Sheesh, take a joke." He laughed, lowly, and I just let out a nervous sigh.
"It's fun. Although, I took a lot of crap from you humans when you tried to take our lands. I'm glad it's behind us, though. You humans have a lot to offer to us ponies, and your women... Well..." He laughed loudly, and I could see his cheeks flaring red.
"They're something else. I'm surprised I haven't broke one." I just shake my head.
"That's gross." He just chortles at me.
"Pfft, that's what you think. Should've seen this one girl: had me tied up to her bed, and slowly paced her way down to my stall--"
"Enough! Jeez-louise..." He looks as though he's trying his best not to fall on his ass in laughter.
"Anyways, here we are, human. Enjoy your stay." He pointed a hoof outwards, and I could see we've landed in the 'sweet' town of Ponyville, as the brochures stated.
I make my way out of the basket, seeing that we've landed in the epicenter of it all. There's stalls set up all around, selling various foods, jewelry and flowers. Alongside that, all the houses that surrounded the stalls (some of them looked like stores, considering they had names on them) all had an odd, and symmetrical, look to them.
Each house had a thatched roof, and all the wood material that was used to hold it up had a, dull, yellow colour. Every now and then, there'd be whites, or blues; Mostly all the houses were the same. One stood out, however, as I made my way through the market-like area.
Is that a gingerbread house...? I thought as I stood outside a large, icing and baked-goods looking house. The roof looked to be made of ice-cream like shapes, all various colours, such as white, pink, and dark brown. The walls looked to be made of a gingerbread material, and the glass looked like sugar!
I shook my head, as an aroma started to fill my nose from inside the bakery. It smelled delicious, and I couldn't help but make my way inside. I opened the door, having to duck under the frame to fit in, and found myself surrounded by cases of delicious treats!
"Jesus..." I said, as I looked around, eyeing each treat.
Cakes, cupcakes, muffins, chocolate, candy-pizza, sugar-fountains, coated fruit, all of it was... Amazing! I've never seen so much ... good looking food in my life at once! As I was about to move close to one of the cases, I hear a female voice speak to me.
"Oooh! A hoo-man! Err... Or, was it human? Silly me!" I turned to face giant, blue, eyes glaring at me. I jumped in surprise, nearly falling onto the glass case.
"Gah! Don't scare me like that!" I yelled, the pony moving back to the ground.
When she made her way onto the ground, I could see that she had a pink mane, and a light pink body. Her mane was curly, and looked like cotton candy in texture. Her tail was much the same, and on her flank was three balloons; Two blue and a yellow.
"Sorry! Just never seen a hoo-man before!" I shake my head to her.
"Hue-man. Hue-man." I say to her, and then she nods.
"Poo-man!" I shake my head furiously.
"No! Hue! Man! HUMAN!" I say again, and she just giggles.
"You're silly! Anyways, my name's Pinkie Pie! How can I help you, today?" I watch her bounce behind the counter, standing on her hind legs and placing her hooves on the glass.
I move to the counter, and look through the glass, eyeing some glazed donuts. I point at them, "how much?" I ask, and she pulls them out quicker than a jack-rabbit.
"For a dozen? Thirteen-bits!" Huh... That's the equivalent of around four bucks in Canada. I pull out a small bag from my pocket, and start counting them out.
She swipes them from me, and opens the cash register. Surprisingly, a receipt prints out and she rips it off, placing it on the box and handing it to me. She smiles, "Thanks! Anything else?" She questions, and I think it over. Seeing as I'm in a land of Ponies, I should ask about where I can learn about them...
"Yeah, do you know where I can find any history on you ponies? Some library? I heard there was one, but, not sure where." Pinkie Pie nods to me, and pulls out a map from her mane.
I look at her in question, and she just giggles, "In case of map emergencies!" She laughs, laying it out. I shake my head, glaring at everything she's pointing at. Eventually, my mind draws a map of its own, pointing the directions to the library. I thank the mare, and take my delicious donuts out of the bakery.
I open the box they were placed in, pull one out, and take a chomp from it. I feel the glaze ooze in my mouth, and slide down my throat with its frost-like texture. The donuts were nice and warm, as if freshly made, and the texture of the bread was soft, and spongy.
"Tim Hortons needs to make donuts like this..." I talk to myself, heading off in the direction of the library.

Surprisingly, I got lost. I spent the next hour looking for the library, and having asked around after letting my pride step aside for a moment, I found that the library was a tree. A motherfucking tree. A large oak, at that, too. I made my way to it, seeing as it stuck out like a sore thumb, and eyed it up and down.
Birdhouses, bee's nests, a telescope on a balcony and a couple other, critter-like, homes were all over the oak. There was a set of doors at the base, and a sign to the left stating "Twilight Sparkle's Residence / Ponyville Residential Library." I shrugged and walked to the door, knocking on it.
I was greeted by nobody, or pony (in this case), standing there. The door was just opened and I looked around. The inside was filled with books in a large circular room. To the right was a staircase, and a bed-like study to the top of them, and to the left were a few couches. As I was about to walk in, I felt my knees being poked at. I looked down to see a purple and green reptile thing.
"Hey, can I help you?" The thing said, it's green, cat-like, eyes glaring at me.
"Oh, yeah... Sorry. Didn't see you. Uhm, I was wondering if I could look at a few books? Trying to get a vi--" He sighed, and turned around, walking in.
"Twilight... Another visitor..." The thing sighed, and I walked in.
"Uhg!... They neve--" I saw a lavender unicorn jump at my right, and upon seeing me, she stopped talking.
Her mane was a dark shade of purple, with a few red and pink streaks through it. Her tail was the same and on her flank was a star-like mark thing. I glared at her, and she glared at me. After a moment, she sighed, and shook her head.
"Look, I'm not going to have, what did you humans call it? Inter-species relations? Just because you made some whacky little clu--"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy lady. Sheesh. I'm not that creepy. Jesus..." I sigh, shaking my head as I interrupted her.
"I'm just here to look over you ponies. Your history and what-not. Trying to pass the time for my date tonight." The lavender unicorn, by now I assume it was 'Twilight', smiled lightly. Her horn shined a bright magenta and I found myself holding a set of books.
"These are history books. It'll tell you everything you want to know. I'm glad you are interested in our history... The last few humans I've met are... Crazy." She shook her head, and I couldn't help but laugh. Funny... Had sex with a pony... Now I have a date with her.
"Mind if I read it here? I just want to do a long read while I wait for..." I pull out my digital watch, seeing that it was set back a few hours. 6:12 PM, "fourty-eight minutes." She nods to me and I walk over to one of the couches, plopping myself down.
I open one of the books, feeling its cover made out of a thick, card-board like, paper. I'm greeted by the table of contents, and I start to intently read, looking at my watch every now-and-then...

So, I've found out a little bit about these ponies. They have two princess': Celestia and Luna. Celestia is the ruler of the day, Luna of the night. The world here is controlled by magic, thus the sun and moon are moved as such. Celestia and Luna eventually had a fall-out, Luna turning into some 'Nightmare Moon' character, and eventually locked away in the moon.
Thousand-years forward, Luna came back, as the same character, and tried to put her 'Eternal Night' upon all of Equestria. However, she didn't expect somethings called 'The Elements of Harmony' to stop her, once more. The elements were all made by the power of six ponies, bound together by friendship, and eventually used to defeat her.
After I made sense of all this, I realized it was time for me to leave. I promptly gave the books back to Twilight, and made my way out of the house. I looked at the sky, seeing it was dimming to an orange-hue, and shrugged.
She said meet at High Fly Dine. Might as well figure out where that is, now...
