Friends in Equestria

As Twilight escorted you and Josh out the door, you attempt to move your new appendages.  So far the only results were the wings opening in a lopsided position, or the wings made a 'pomf' noise as they quickly extended to full length.    It didn't take to many of thesebefore Josh to start chuckling under his breathe.

"Excited much?"  he asked with a smirk.

“I'm just trying to get them to work." you say, giving him a sour look.

Debating about giving Josh another smack, one of your wings extended as you passed him, brushing under his nose.  His face scrunched up as he tried to hold back the sneeze, but it wasn’t enough.

“Achoo!” he sneezed, sparks flying from his horn.

"How the hell did I do that?" You exclaimed, ignoring Josh as you looked at the partially raised wing.

"I don't know.  Pretty annoying though...” Josh said, his smug grin replaced with a mix of confusion and agitation.

"Gentlecolts!”, Twilight said rather loudly, “we’ll miss the train if this continues.  You’ll learn how to use your abilities soon.”

“Coming!” the two of you answered, hurrying to keep up.

Following the purple mare, your mind slowly wandered.

'Yes I am going to fly in no time.' you thought happily, ‘squee’ing on the inside.

You just want to impress Rainbow. your mind retorted

‘No! I want to fly like a pegasus!’

Or learn how to buck one

‘Fuck you brain! Why did you come out of your shell now?!’

Because I want you off guard.

'What-?”, you started to say before crashing into a metal pole and falling on your flank.

"Damn!" you exclaim, struggling to get up again.

"Wow! That looked painful.” Josh said while lending a hoof.  “Lost in thought?" John whispered discreetly, nodding towards the oblivious Twilight with a smirk.

"Get your mind out of the gutter...” you respond, bonking Josh on the head.

After walking for a while longer, the three of you finally make your way to the train station.  Following Twilight’s lead, the three of you make a stop at the ticket booth.  Sliding the required bits to the conductor, he trades them for three passes.  Unable to pick them up, Twilight kept hold of the tickets as you enter the brightly coloured cabin.

Finding a comfortable seat, you collapsed onto the padded seat.  Even as the conductor made their last call for boarding, you felt your eyelids growing heavy from exhaustion.  Deciding not to fight it, you drifted into slumber listening to the sounds of the busy station and Twilight conversing with Josh about something.

Flying through the clouds easily, you glanced down at your fellow flier.  Flying upside down, the rainbow-maned pegasus gave you a sultry look.  Returning the look,  you dived at her like a predatory bird.  Knocked into a controlled spin, the two of you stared into each others eyes before she leaned close to your ear.

"Wake up!  We're here dumbass!" she shouted into your ear.

With a stunned Josh in tow, you escorted the purple unicorn off the train car.

"So I'm guessing this is..." you said, glancing around.

"Exactly what you'd expect.  Welcome to Ponyville!" Twilight exclaimed cheerfully.

"Wow!... what happened?" Josh asked as he rubbed his sore head.

"Do I need to remind you?",  was the tense answer he received.

"Now that this is done can we g--", you started to ask Twilight.  The small purple and green dragon slamming into your leg, with bag and letter in claw, was enough to loss your train of thought.

"Sorry bro!" he said before turning excitedly to your guide. "Twilight! You got a package from the princess!..Who are these guys", Spike asked while pointing at you and Josh.

Caught off-guard, you struggled to think of a good pony name.

'Dammit brain. You can think of a name, come on!'

How about Blitzkrieg?

'I can be a bucking genius sometimes.'

"My name is Blitzkrieg." you answered, feeling content with the name.

"And I'm Red Daze." Josh said, extending a hoof to Spike, "good to meetcha!"

"Interesting names", Spike said, brohoofing Josh.

Leaving them to their shenanigans, you took the opportunity to peek over Twilight's shoulder.

"Twilight... what does the letter say?" you ask before she pushes the cloth bag into your grasp.

"It says; my faithful student, Twilight.  I'm happy to hear of your safe return to Equestria.  Enclosed are enough bits  for your guests to get settled into Ponyville. Your mentor, Princess Celestia." she said as you inspect the bag.

Placing the bag in your pocket, you watched Twilight walk off.  Motioning for the you to follow, you grabbed hold of Josh before following her to Celestia knows where.

Along the way, Spike yawned as he started to slow.  Twilight must have noticed as he was levitated with her magic.  As she started to place him on her back, you gave her a small bump.  She gave a quizzical look before you turned to the floating dragon.

"Hey Spike, want a pony-back ride?" you ask the young dragon.

"If your offering." he answered sleepily as Twilight carefully placed him on your back. Finding a comfy spot behind you neck, he grabbed hold of your mane before asking, "so how do you guys know Twi?"

"I'd prefer not to talk about it", you said.  The only answer you received was silence.

Apparently your back was more comfortable then you'd thought, as you felt the dragon snore into your mane.  Hearing a giggle, you turned to see Twilight and Josh looking at the spectacle.  Feeling a blush, you tried to ignore them as your destination came into view.

The townhall towered over the three of you as Twilight opened the door and beckoned you in.  Closing the door softly, she then guided the two of you over to a large wooden desk.  Carved into the wood were the words 'Ponyville Realty' along with pictures of various houses you'd seen in the show.  Noticing a door open behind it, you looked up to see a professionally dressed earth mare, her mane held in a neat bun and a shiny name tag on her suit.

"Sorry for the wait, Ms. Sparkle and sirs.  My name is White Collar.  How may I help you today?" she said with a smile that would've put most human secretaries to shame.

"Hello again Ms. Collar.  Are the two houses prepared for these gentlecolts?" Twilight asked as you pulled out the bag of bits and set it on the table.

"Indeed they are, we simply need the deed signed and payment." she answered, placing two parchments on the desk with a small dish of ink.

While White counted the bag's contents with practiced ease, you and Josh inspected the pictures of your future homes.  Looking at you house, you felt rather lucky to be a pegasus.  It seemed like a similar build to Rainbow Dash's house, only with an extended stripe you assumed was for landings.  Meanwhile, Josh's house was one of the generic two-story houses most of the background character's lived in.  Hearing the clinking of coins, you looked up as White Collar returned the remaining bits.

"If I could get you to stamp, here, here and here, sirs." she asked, pushing the ink forward while pointing at large squares on each parchment.

Although it seemed a bit messy, you and Josh managed to put your hoof prints on the parchments before White Collar quickly rolled them up.

"Thank-you for your purchases...", she said while putting the parchments away,"... hope your transition into the Ponyville community goes smoothly."

"Now that everythings in order, lets continue." Twilight said.

"Kay!'", you answered while extending a hoof of thanks to the secretarial mare, "And thanks for the help Mrs. Collar.  If you'd like, you can call me Blitz and my pal Red."  you said, nodding to the waving grey unicorn.

"Then feel free to call me White." she replied, shaking the extended hoof.  "Hope we'll meet again."

Happy to have made a new friend already, and a mare at that,  you practically hopped out the door, before a disgruntled mumble form your back made you remember the sleeping passenger.  Slowing to a quick walk, you followed behind Twilight as she guided you through town.  Along the way, you noticed plenty of strange looks from the local ponies.  Something told you not many tourists appeared in Ponyville, or they found it strange that Celestia's student was guiding two unfamiliar stallions around.

The staring became less noticeable as your little herd made their way to the outskirts of Ponyville.  Judging from the amount of trees bearing familiar red fruit, and the barn Twilight was leading you to, you had a pretty good guess where the four of you were headed next. Josh apparently hadn't been paying too much attention to his surroundings as he suddenly gasped.

"When did we get to Sweet Apple Acres!?" he exclaimed loud enough to turn the heads of the familiar two ponies working the orchard.

"Well now..." Applejack said, grunting as she bucked another apple tree with Big Mac.  "...if it isn't Twi'! " taking a break from work, she trotted over with a glance at me and Josh.

"And a big howdy-do to the two spry stallions."  she said before turning to an unharvested tree.  "Hey Rainbow! Come meet the ponies Twilight was talkin about."

The branches rustled abit before the rainbow maned pegasus hovered out of the tree.  As if by reflex, your wings opened slightly and rolled spike off your back.

"Damit!... Umm, I gotta go." you said sheepishly after the embarrassing display.  Taking a few steps back, you turned to walk away but Rainbow Dash simply hovered beside you.

"That's kinda rude to fly off before introducing yourself." she said while your wings remained open.

"I can't fly, was just going to...." you said before she froze in shock, her mouth slightly ajar. "...are you alright?"

"I think you just broke your wai-" Josh said before you shut him up with a dangerous glare.

Trying to push down the extended wings, you tried to hide them as you and Josh introduced yourselves to the gathered ponies.  Rainbow still looked shocked as she tried to examine your wings.

"What do you mean you can't fly!  Even if you're one of Twilight egghead experiments, no offence...", she said to Twilight before returning her attention to you.  "... most pegasi can at least hover.  Move your hoof so I can get a better look." she said, either not noticing the wingboner or not understanding what it was.

"Could you leave them be?" you ask, starting to get embarassed with the attantion.

"Hey ponies!" Pinkie pie interrupted as she seemed to appear from thin air.

Apparently it'd surprised Dash quite a bit as she painfully grasped your neck.  Time seemed to slow as you felt your face go red and your wings making an obvious snapping noise as they opened fully.  Twilight and Rainbow both blushed after seeing the wings, while the other two earth mares just looked confused.  Josh, meanwhile, rolled on the ground while laughing at your expense.

"Would you please let go..." you said awkwardly to the blushing pegasus mare.

"Sorry... Pinkie startled me..." she responded in kind, quickly untangling herself from your neck.

"Uh. This is a bit akward.  Would you be able to teach me to fly?" you ask Rainbow, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Maybe tomorrow.  Around 10." she answered quickly.

"I'll be there", you respond.

"I've never seen you two before, do you like apples!?" Pinkie asked Josh before joining his laughing fit.

"Pinkie Pie, you are so random!" you exclaimed, hoping to change the subject as Dash glanced at you.

"I was about to say the same thing!" Rainbow responded.

"That's awesome Dashie!"  you answered, reflexly using the nickname most of the brony fandom used.

"What did you just say?"  she replied with a quizzical look.

"Oh! Just a nickname I thought of, sorry if you don't like it."  you answered sheepishly, before getting a surprising response.

"No. I like it." it was her turn to glance to the side with a cute blush.

The first thing that came to mind in response was, d'aww, but Twilight killed the mood when she cleared her throat.

"If the two of you are done, I suggest we continue." Twilight said as Josh recovered from his fit and got to his hooves.

"Just give him 30 seconds." Josh hinted, only to get confused looks from the four mares.

"Wow Red... thanks....", you said in a strained voice before turning to your favorite pony. "...Well, I guess it's time to continue the tour of Ponyville."

"Can I come?" Rainbow asked as she continued to blush and rub one of her hooves over her front legs.

Hey Blitzkreig, guess what~?

'What'?

I think you're getting laid tonight.

'Fuck you! We just meet'

You stud.

'Fuck off! You're worse then Josh'

"Sure Dash come on" you say as you tried to ignore the voice in your head.

Giving a farewell to the rest of the ponies; you, Josh, Twilight, Spike and Dashie, set off to finish the tour.

When Pinkie's new and old friends made it over the hill,  she suddenly let out a gasp.

"Now I get it! His wings represent his...'teehee'."  giggling to herself, the party pony set of for more adventures.
