John made a promise, one he most kept until his very end.

John didn't had many friends, in fact, he didn't had any friends, less a girlfriend, not that he was ugly, just that he LOVED loneliness, he enjoyed it.

What happens when he arrives at ponyville? He needs a job, he needs a school and most importantly, he needs friends. Will he be able to change, and discover a new and spectacular world. Or, will he return to the path of loneliness and isolation.

(Based on a friend's patient, he is a psychologist. His history left me very perturbed)

And yes, the ponies are humanized, but, They still have the horns and wings, and they can use them.

Prologue

John.    That's how everybody calls him, that's how he likes it, and that's how it will stay.

He was borned in a well established family, his father, a unicorn, was the owner of a very important company, and his mother, as well a unicorn,was a very prestigious designer, one of the most known in fillydelphia, he was single born, and had very few cousins, besides, they were very separate one of others.

Now, let me tell you something about him:   John, a unicorn, is thin, but tall, actually pretty tall, he has pretty well made muscules, cold and calculator when it comes to make decisions, he prefers a good old book instead of videogames, or waste time outside, white skin, as white as a tomb. He is very good with animals, a lot better that I at least, but he doesn't have any, he can't, he doesn't want to. The best in the school no doubt, also, the best one with magic, but, at a high price, he always sits in the corner, taking notes, never participate in the class, excepet when It's very necessary. He, releases an aura of loneliness and isolation, his eyes are green with a tone of sad red in his pupiles, his hair is long and messy, no sparkle come out of it, he doesn't show any emotion on his face. He has a job in fillydelphia, a cook, if I recall correctly. And I think it's unecessary to say he didn't have any friends, but, as intriguing life can be, he did have some girls behind him, some ugly, some pretty cute, he causes a little envy, but nothing to serious.

And he enjoys that kind of life, he adores it. He loves the isolation, he desires the remoteness, he finds comfort on it, nobody knows why, and let me be straight, he is not from those guys that doesn't talk at all, or doesn't move from one place. It's Just that, he doesn't talk that much.

One unfortunate day, not by pony hand, but by natural, both of his parents died, He didn't cry, but, for the first time ever, he felt, sadness, he wasn't young by the time, he even had a house, but in the deathbed of his parents, specifically his father, he made a promise with him. He Will have friends, no matter what.

His parents always have been careful with that theme, he wasn't bad at school, and he talks relatively good with them, a lot more at least, so, his father was trying to get him some friends.    He always rejected the proposal, never took it to seriously.

But now, things were different, he had to make friends, so he started looking for towns, occasionally, visited them, he found the perfect one: Ponyville, small, warm and had a train station, places to work, and.....ponies to meet.

This is his story, I'm just a mere narrator so, please, Enjoy.

Alright then, I need to move out by the night, to arrive there by morning.     John thought.

He was making a big mess on his bedroom, packing all his stuffs, he took only the essentials: Clothes, Money, Food, And Objects of personal cleanliness.

"I think that's it, let's move"   He starts moving towards the main entrance, when suddenly, he felt a powerful tickle running across his entire body.

"I can't do it. Why? Why is friendship so important"?

"That's what we are going to find out"

He left the sensation behind, yet, the main question reminded.

Why is friendship so important?

Chapter 1

The day in equestria was absolutely amazing, the sun was high in the sky, and the clouds were swept away by pegasus, the train traveled pretty low so, he could smell the aroma of fresh cut grass.

Yet, he didn't appreciate that smell, he finds it.....strange. He never looks up to see the sky, he can't find anything *intriguing* in the sky, celestia pull out the sun, luna pull out the moon, just that simple.

The train was divided by sections, he choose the least occupied, there was 3 ponies in that wagon, he liked that.

Suddenly the train stopped, he turns around to see what's going on, when he spotted a large sign: *Canterlot Station*

"Great, another stop"  He thought.    I just hope nobody enters in this wagon.......

His hope disappeared when he saw a girl, possibly from his age, but smaller than him enter the wagon.

He start looking at her, surreptitiously, he didn't want her to see him, looking at her.

The girl had a purple hair, with some tones of pink on it, very ironed, she was small, but not the smallest he has seen, but something in her, got his attention even more, her eyes, her eyes matched the same color of her hair, that was a rare, yet beautiful feature. She was carrying a book, a very big book, and big means heavy.

After looking at her, he turned around to see the scenery, he was close to ponyville.

During all the route, he never turned again to see the purple hair girl, what he didn't notice was that the girl Was looking at him, a puzzled face showed up every time she looked at him.

The train came to a full stop, making him to see the door and instinctively to the purple hair girl, and what he saw puzzled him too.

The girl quickly turned around to the other window, with her cheeks, red like tomatoes, her eyes moved disoriented when she looked at the window, she launched a last gaze to him when he turned his head again to the window, making her cheeks go redder.

He realized that this was ponyville, it said so in the little sign *ponyville station* So he started walking towards the door.

With every step he take, the purple hair girl became redder and redder, when John passed by her side, he could swear, he heard her saying something like. *Just tell him*

And like he always did with this cases, he ignored it.

Suddenly he remembered it.

"But, there will be a lot of girls out there.

"BUT, you like her, so stop crying and talk to her.

"I don't know how!

Before he could even formulate a word, the little purple hair girl ran to the exit.

"Great, now you lost your chances with her.

He didn't mind it that much, so, he started walking again.

When he arrived at the platform he saw the little girl again.

"NOW OR NEVER"

He started walking towards her, with a gallantly and natural way, he arrived at the left side of her, she turned around to see him and then, she quickly move her head again.

"Just tell her: Hello

He then, turned around to face her, so did she.

"Hello......... M-My name is.........John"

"It's a pleasure to meet you......John"      Her gaze locked in his eyes.

"So, what brings you to.........

"WELCOME BACK TWILIGHT!!"

He gave a little backward step at the sudden sound, so did she.

All of her friends were there, at least that's what he expected, he started to sweat and then moving to the other corner.

Suddenly someone grabbed his hand, It was the purple ha....... Twilight.

"I'm in charge of the ponyville library, In case you want to..... pay a visit"

Before you could answer, she ran with her friends, giving them a big hugg.

He started walking to the other direction, still a little confused with all the events.

"Who is he. your boyfriend? John could hear the question at a considerable range, she told to Twilight a girl with a blue hoodie and tennis.

"He is rather handsome"     Another one answered, this one, a little taller than the others and was wearing a white dress.

"Yea, he looks just fine for you"   Again, another of her friends spoke, she was the most recognizable of all, a cowgirl.

"Girls. Cut it out!"      Twilight finally raised her voice.

And with that last sentence, he continued his way to his new house.

His new house was smaller, yet, more comfortable and warm, It had a fireplace, some shelves and two beds.... wait a minute, two?

"The guy told me it was....... Aargh forget it."

John continued to unpack, when he heard a knock in his door.

"What?  I don't know anybody, could it be.....her?"

John opened the door  when he felt two hands and two legs knocking him down.

"HELLO. MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE"
