Previous ChapterNext Chapter

-Back in Sweet Apple Acres-

Ryan is tied up in the barn with no place to go. His hands tied to his back while his feet were tied together. He was stuck with no place to go, now only waiting for the inevitable.

'Well any plans guys?'

'How about we just stay here? I mean, we have no chance of escape. Even if we did, this girls would just catch us.'

'Dammit...I hate it when your right'

'Hey I'm your Brain remember?'

'Hey...Did you hear that?' Ryan whispered to himself. He had heard the group of girls outside the barn talking, probably talking about what to do with him.

"What do ya girls reckon he is?" asked a southern voice. From what he gather from the earlier encounter, the orange one had the southern accent. 'Oh great...They probably have not heard of a thing called a human.'

"I don't know Applejack. He doesn't even look like anything I've seen from the books I've read." another voice answered the first. 'Great' he thought. 'I bet the one who said that was the librarian'  As Ryan noted the two names he knows, Applejack and Rainbow, the barn doors sudden flung open with a force that made it fly across the room, almost hitting Ryan.

"Where is he!?" the same rainbow haired woman he saw earlier, yelled at the top of her lungs. Ryan just sat there, with his eyes and jaws wide open. 'Oh shit! I'm so dead! I'm so dead!' Ryan kept on repeating these few words over and over, while eyeing the rainbow haired girl that was coming nearer and nearer, with a face full of rage.

"YOU! What did you do to Applejack!". She practically shouted in front of him, causing Ryan to whimper like a puppy. She was about to hit him when he said something that caught her attention, his voice.

-Rainbows Perspective-

"P-Please! Don't hurt me!". His voice made it obvious he was scared. It was full of fear. Fear of her hitting him really hard. "Rainbow! What did you do!" Rainbow Dash's friend, Twilight Sparkle asked her with an angry expression on her face.

"I yelled at him....it....whatever it is. Why?" Rainbow asked Twilight thinking it was not a big deal. "First of all, it's already scared enough. That thing is in a new place it has never been or seen before. It's obviously scared and just wants to go back to its home. Where ever it is." Twilight explained to Rainbow now gaining a curious look from her.

"You mean this thing is from a different world?" Rainbow asked. Twilight face palmed as this question. She thought that with the things different appearance, her friend could make out that it was not from here. Apparently, she was wrong. "Isn't it obvious Rainbow? I mean, it already has a different appearance that most ponies do." Twilight answered.

"Oh...Do you think he will accept my apology?" Rainbow asked. Rainbow wanted to say sorry to this poor creature so badly, but she was scared that it mighty not accept it. "Maybe. I mean, you did shout at it so loud that you made it whimper." Twilight answered back. Rainbow faced the thing once again. It was still very scared of her by the looks of it.

"Hey look, I'm sorry alright. I just thought that you did something horrible to a friend of mine." Rainbows apology managed to calm the creature down a bit. What Rainbow didn't expect, however, was a reply from the thing itself. "I-It's o-okay." it's voice still had a hint of fear.

-Ryan's Perspective-

Ryan just kept silent, still shaking in fear, watching the two talk about him. As he listened to the two talk, he heard something that caught his attention. "...has a different appearance that most ponies do."

Ryan looked down on the floor and began to process what was needed. 'Wait...PONIES?! These things are ponies?! What the hell!' Ryan's Brain was still trying to process the information of these beings as 'ponies'. He kept saying to himself that these 'ponies' are not the ponies he knew back on earth. 'These are 'anthropomorphic ponies' ', as what his Brain told him, whatever that was.

'Dude, rainbow haired pony coming closer!'

'Huh?'

When Ryan looked up he saw the same rainbow haired pony coming closer. Ryan began shaking in fear again. What he did not expect, however, was an apology from the same thing that yelled at him earlier.

"Hey look, I'm sorry alright. I just thought that you did something horrible to a friend of mine." the same rainbow haired pony said to him. This managed to calm Ryan down a tad, so he decided to reply to her. "I-It's o-okay." Ryan replied. This managed to shock her a bit as she did not expect a reply from him.

The purple horned pony then came up to him. "Hello. Sorry about what happened just now. My friend here was too angry with you as she thought you might harm Applejack.". "Yea. Its alright." Ryan answered back.

The purple pony then began her barrage of questions at Ryan. Stuff like "Who are you?", "Where are you from?" and "What are you?"

"Uhh...can we do an introduction first? I don't feel comfortable answering people who I don't know" Ryan asked her. "You mean ponies you do not know?" she asked back. "Uhh...yeah, whatever" Ryan answered her back. "By the way, can you help me out untie the ropes please?" Ryan asked to the two ponies that stood in front of him. "Oh! Oh! Can I help?!" A pink hand was raised in the air. Ryan completely forgot about the two other ponies that stood outside of the broken barn door.

"Now listen here Pinkie. We're here to apologise and not to freak the feller out." The orange pony told the pink one. Apparently the pink one is named 'Pinkie'. Ryan just kept on looking at the Pinkie and the orange one, which is Applejack. Pinkie kept on jumping in one spot, excited that she could help.

"Yes please. Please...don't hurt me" Ryan was scared at Pinkie. It was not because she looked angry at him, but because of her infinite amount of energy. 'Her hyperactiveness will get me injured one day...'. "Now why would I hurt you silly?" Ryan turned around to find Pinkie already behind him, untieing the ropes. Ryan freaked a little at this as from what he recalled, Pinkie was just beside her friend, Applejack.

Pinkie giggled at him. That giggle felt like music to Ryan's ears. So girly, but it felt pleasant to him. 'Argh right. First things first, try to get back home, THEN I can think about girls' Ryan scolded at himself while looking at the ground. After Pinkie was done, Rainbow pulled him up to his feet. He then began dusting off any dirt of dust on his school pants. "We'll, I guess an introduction would be nice right now." Twilight nodded then began introducing him to her and her friends.

"Ok then. I'm Twilight Sparkle. The protegee of Princess Celestia as well as the local librarian. The one who apologiesed to you was-". "Rainbow. Yea I kinda figured it out. You know, having a rainbow coloured hair and whatnot" Ryan said. "Um, it's actually called a mane and not....hair or whatever it was called" Twilight answered back. Ryan rolled his eyes. "Yea, yea, whatever". "Anyways, I'm the local librarian. So if you need a book, come stop by." She said in a cheery tone. "I'd love to stop by Twilight, but remember, I'm an alien in this world full of...ponies. I'm also homeless, for the moment." Ryan told her. "We'll help with that. Don't worry" she reassured him. She then began to introduce her friend Pinkie.

"The pink one is-" Twilight couldn't finish her sentence as Pinkie began to shake his hands vigorously while taking at - thousand miles per hour. "HiI'mPinkiePiebuteveryponyinponyvillecallesmePinkie.Itsnicetomeetastrangethinglikeyou!Whatareyouanyways?Wait!HaveyouevergonetoapartycosIeanttoinviteyoutoa'WelcometoPonyvilleweirdalienthingy!' "Pinkie somehow managed to say all that in a single breath. Luckily for Ryan, he was able to catch all that. "Uhhh...It's nice to meet you to Pinkie Pie. As for what I am, I am, what my people back where I come from, are humans or 'Homo Sapiens' which is the scientific term. Lastly, yes I have gone to parties before but I don't think a party for me is good. I mean, why make a party for a weird alien thing?" Ryan answered.

Whan Ryan turned to look at Twilight, she was busy scribbling down notes of, what Ryan could tell, him, his appearance and his species. Ryan chuckled at this. 'She must be very interested in my species'. The next up to introduce herself, was Applejack. "Howdy partner. Mah names Applejack or AJ fer short. I live here at Sweet Apple Acres with mah sister, big brother and mah granny. Nice ta meet ya. Sorry about lassoing you to the ground. Ah thought you were sum kind of dangerous thing." Applejack shook Ryan's hand while giving him an apologetic look. "Hello Applejack. Nice I meet you too. You don't have to apologise. I know you were just trying to protect this place here." He gave her a warm smile, to indicate that he accepted her apology.

Ryan only had one pony left to meet, Rainbow. When he turned to look at her, she was crying. He ran up to her and gave her a hug. Rainbows crying only turned into soft sobs. "Hey, it's ok. Don't cry. I know you were just worried of your friend. Like I said, I accept your apology, so you don't have to cry" Ryan comforted her in his arms. Rainbow managed to squeak through a couple of words. "How...can you...forgive me...for making you so scared of me." She asked him while looking at him in the eye. "Hey, I'm a forgiving person. I know you that you shouted at me since you were just protecting your friend. Believe me, you are scary when your mad. But that's all in the past. So lets just forget about it and move on, ok?" Ryan said, giver her the same warm smile. Rainbow smiled a little. He was so kind to her, even with the events that transpired.

"Come on widen that smile for me! Give me a real introduction of yourself and not an intro that's full of tears!" Ryan exclaimed to her. Her smile widened and with those words, she began telling him about her.
