My Little Pony: Friendship Is Pure

Everything was black. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of my heart beating.

“What happened? Am I dead?”

I then heard the sound of birds chirping and felt the wind blowing against me body.

“Nope, still alive, then what the hell is going on?”

“Hey, are you okay?” a female voice asked.

I attempted to speak, but it only came out as a groan.

“Hey! Wake up!  Can you try and open your eyes?” the voice asked.

I tried doing what the voice told me and attempted to open my eyes.

“Oh…my head” I groaned.

At first everything was blurry, but eventually my eyes were wide open. The first thing I wanted to do was find the girl who found me, but instead of a girl in front of me, like I thought, there were two giant violet eyes.

“OH DEAR GOD!” I screamed as I jumped back in both fright and surprise.

She screamed and jumped back at my outburst. She then grew a pretty pissed off face, but I didn’t really care. Right in front of me.....was a lavender unicorn. She had a purple mane with pink and purple streak running through it, the same with her tail.

“Don’t you know not to scream at mares!?”

I was just dumbfounded at was what in front of me.

“A talking pony!? Where the hell am I!?

The unicorn then grew a concerned face.

“Hey, calm down. Are you okay?” She said.

I took in some deep breaths before replying.

“I-I think” I said still in shock.

A small smile grew on her face and she continued.

“That’s good. My name is Twilight Sparkle, what’s your name?” asked.

“My name is Tyler, Tyler Walker”

“Strange name, but nevertheless, it’s nice to meet you Tyler, but may I ask, what are you doing out here all alone?” she asked.

“Well………

I thought about it for a minute or two, but for some reason I couldn’t remember how I got here. Everything before then was as bright as day.

“Sorry, for some reason I can’t remember” I said.

Her eyes widened and she took a step closer to me.

“You can’t? Not a thing” she asked.

“Nope” I said.

She put a hoof to her chin.

“Hmm, quite strange. A rare case of Amnesia, but at least you remembered your name. That also explains why you freaked out over a talking pony, especially since you are one yourself” She said.

“No, that’s not why- wait, what did you say?” I asked.

“What? All I said was that it was because of the Amnesia that you freaked over seeing somepony that was the same species as yourself” She said.

At first I didn’t believe her, but then I took a look at my body and saw that is was true. I looked at was once my arms and instead saw two red hooves, same thing with my legs. I turned around and saw that I had a small brown tail and two wings. I moved my eyes up and saw that the color of my tail was the same as my mane.

“AHH! I’M A PONY! WHAT THE HELL!” I screamed.

She jumped back again and threw another pissed off look at me.

“Again with the screaming?” she said in an agitated tone.

“Sorry, but…..I’m just confused. It’s not every day you can’t remember anything from the past few hours” I said

“Well, I think I might be able to help you with that” she said.

“Really? How?” I asked.

“As you can see, I am a unicorn. I think I know a good memory spell that may just help you regain your memory” She said.

I put my hand, or I suppose for now, hoof to my chin and let my mind wander.

“Let’s see, if what she says is true, she can just use some magic spell to help me remember how I got here, maybe even get me back home”

I then looked at the lavender unicorn and nodded.

“That just might work, plus it’ll be nice knowing how I ended up here” I said.

“Excellent, but before we do that, why don’t I introduce you to my friends” she said.

I was a little confused by her request.

“Uh, I have no problem with it, but why?” I said.

“Well you seem like a nice stallion-

“Never thought I’d be called that”

-and I just thought it’d be a good idea, so you won’t have to be alone” she said.

“You have a point there, okay let’s go” I said.

“Alright, follow me and I’ll show you around Ponyville while we’re at it” she said.

“Ponyville? As in a whole town filled with talking ponies” I said.

“Uh, yeah, is there any other kind?” she said in a smartass tone.

I was about to reply with a smartass answer, but refrained from doing so. This pony is the only help I got. Besides, I need to know what happened to me.

“Never mind” I said.

I slowly got up from the ground and stood up on my new four legs. I have to admit, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

“Lead the way” I said.

She smiled and nodded and began walking, while I followed. Walking on four legs were surprisingly easy, just like walking on two legs, it was as if by instinct.

“At least I can’t embarrass myself anymore by falling flat on my face”

As I followed the lavender unicorn, I looked around taking in the sights; it was truly a sight to behold.

“Wherever I am, this place sure does seem peaceful”

After a good few minutes of walking, Twilight lead me to what, what I guess was Ponyville.

“Before we enter Ponyville, I may need to warn you about something” Twilight said.

“What?” I asked.

“Well, one of my friends, Pinkie Pie-

“Why does that sound like a flavor of Ice Cream from Dairy Queen?”

-she likes to throw parties for new ponies” Twilight said.

“And that’s a bad thing?” I said in a confused tone.

“Not really, the thing is she’s extremely hyper and random” Twilight said.

“Are any of the other ponies like that?” I asked.

“No, just her, but don’t worry, once you to get to know each other, I promise you you’ll be friends” Twilight said.

“Well let’s not waste any more time” I said.

Twilight smiled and we began to enter the town known as Ponyville. First thing I noticed was that every single pony, including Twilight, had this strange mark on their flank, I think that’s what their called. Of course I didn't say anything since she would think I was some kind of pervert that stares at other ponies asses. I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious as to what my mark was, but then that would make me look pretty stupid, looking like I dog chasing his own tail. Nevertheless I did get a glimpse of Twilight’s mark, it was a pink star surrounded by five tiny white stars.

“Well, what do you think?” Twilight asked.

“Looks pretty nice, I really wouldn't mind living here” I said.

Twilight smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

“Well once we get your memory back, I’m sure we can find you someplace to live here” She said.

“If you don’t mind me asking, why are you helping me?  It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, it’s just you don’t know anything about me, yet you still want to help me. Why?” I asked.

She was a little surprised by my words but answered with a look full of concern.

“Because you looked like you needed help, besides, wouldn't you feel guilty if you saw somepony in need of help and just ignore them?” she asked.

I then felt a little guilty questioning her like that.

“I guess so, sorry, I was just curious” I said.

She just smiled at me and placed a hoof on my shoulder.

“Don’t worry about it Tyler, let’s just do what we can to help you regain your memory” Twilight said.

I smiled nodded.

“Thanks Twilight” I said.

After that, Twilight lead me to what looked like a giant gingerbread house. In front of the door there was a sign that read, ‘Sugarcube Corner’.

“Why does that sound like a space you land on in Candyland?”

“C’mon, let’s go inside” Twilight said.

I nodded and the two of us entered the building and the minute I walked into the lobby, I was immediately greeted by the scent of pastries and deserts, making my mouth water. Twilight caught sight of this and started giggling.

“You hungry?” She asked.

I wiped my mouth and looked at her.

“What gave it away?” I asked in a sarcastic tone.

“Oh, just the miniature waterfall coming out of your mouth” Twilight teased.

We both shared a laugh and walked up to the counter. Twilight rang the bell and out came a light blue pony with a pink mane that kinda reminded me of whip cream.

“Oh, hello Twilight, whose your friend here?” she asked.

“Hello to you to Mrs. Cake, this is my friend Tyler” Twilight said gesturing to me.

“Well it’s nice to meet you Tyler” Mrs. Cake said.

“Likewise”

“So what can I get for you two today?” she asked.

“I guess I’ll just take a chocolate cupcake” I said.

“Strawberry, please” Twilight said.

“Coming right up” Mrs. Cake said.

She then went into the kitchen while I and Twilight went to an empty table and sat down, waiting for our treats to arrive. While we were waiting, something kept picking at my brain or someone….wait, let me rephrase that, somePONY was picking at my brain. Twilight’s friend, Pinkie Pie. Twilight warned me that once she caught sight of me that I needed to prepare for anything, but not once have I seen anything out of the ordinary, except the part where I’m now a Pegasus, have no memory of how I got here, and I’m now friends with a lavender unicorn whose name reminds me of that god-awful movie.

“Hey Twilight”

“Yes?”

“This friend of yours, Pinkie Pie, how come I haven’t seen her yet?”

“Good point, usually she’s the first to know when a new ponies in town, if you want I can go get her”

“You can? How?”

“Well she does work here, so I can just go in the back and get her”

“Oh, go ahead then”

Twilight then left the table and made her way to the kitchen, leaving me to my thoughts.

“Now that I’m alone I can think. What am I going to do? I still have no idea how I got here and now I just befriended a unicorn. Can this day get any crazier?”

I sighed and leaned back in my chair.

“I wonder what Mom and Dad are thinking right now, probably where I am, and if I’m safe or not. What about my friends? They probably thought I died or something”

Visions of my parents and my friends played themselves in my head.

“Doesn't matter, I’ll still find a way to get back home, but what about Twilight?”

I turned my attention over to where Twilight went.

“She wants to help me regain my memory, but what happens when I have to leave. Even if we just met a few minutes ago, she considers me a friend. Hell, she’s even letting me meet her friends, how am I gonna break it to them that I’m not from this world and I have to go back”

I sat up and closed my eyes.

“Still, I’ll do whatever it takes to find a way to get back home”

I nodded and opened my eyes, only to see two light blue eyes staring right at me.

“Hi!”

I yelped and jumped back, but by doing so I caused the chair the tip back, making me and the chair fall. As soon as I hit the ground, all the ponies’ eyes fell on me, making this whole situation even more awkward.

“OhmygoshareyouTwilight’snewfriendyoumustbebecauseIneverseenyoubefore *gasp* Ineedtothrowyoua’WelcometoPonyville’partyit’llbesofun!”

“……………………..……What?”

I looked up and saw a pink pony who was smiling from ear to ear. She had a puffy pink mane that looked like it was made of cotton candy, as well as her with tail. I then took a look at what her mark was, it was three balloons, two blue, and the other yellow.

“Hm, I wonder who this could be”

“Pinkie! I thought I said not to scare him!” Twilight said as she ran up to us.

“Sorry Twilight, I was just excited to meet your new friend, I couldn’t help myself”

“Are you okay Tyler?” Twilight asked.

I let out a small chuckle and got back on my hooves.

“Yeah, I’m fine, so I’m guessing that you’re Pinkie Pie, right?”

“How did you know?” Pinkie said still smiling.

“Let’s see, Pink coat, Pink Mane”

“I’m Psychic” I replied in a sarcastic tone.

“It’s still really nice to meet you, I’d love to stay and chat, but I gotta get everything ready for your ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ Party. What’s your name again?” she asked.

“Uh Tyler, but you don’t have to-

“See ya later Tyler” Pinkie said before literally vanishing into thin air.

I turned to Twilight and said.

“Is she always this-

“Yes”

“Okay then”

We both sat back down at our table and our orders arrived shortly after.

“So, are all your friends like that?” I asked.

“No, I don’t think I've met any other pony like Pinkie”

“No offense to her, but I don’t think I can take another Pinkie Pie”

Twilight giggled and the two of us finished our delicious treats. Once we finished our cupcakes, Twilight lead me out of Ponyville and down a dirt road.

“So, who are we gonna meet now?” I asked.

“Well, how about we meet my friend Applejack” she said.

“They have a pony named after cereal? Who knows, maybe next we could meet Fruity Loops”

“Lead the way” I said.

Along the way I heard the sound of grunting and some strange noise that sounded like somebody punching a heavy bag. Another thing was that wherever we were headed, it reminded me of home. Maybe it was country atmosphere, but I didn't care, it felt like home.

But another thing it reminded of was my parents. Memories of me and my dad hanging out started playing in my mind, but what hurt me was when I stared picturing my parent’s reaction knowing I’m gone. I saw my mom crying on the couch with a picture of me by her side and my dad comforting her, and I couldn't help but feel bad.

“Tyler, are you okay?” Twilight asked.

I snapped out of my thoughts and realized that I had been standing still with my head down. When I looked up I saw Twilight looking at me with concern on my face.

“Huh? Oh yeah, it’s nothing”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, it’s just that………..

Twilight walked up to me and wrapped her hooves around me and pulled me into a hug, making my eyes widen in surprise.

“Tyler, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to”

I smiled and let a few tears go down my face.

“Thanks Twilight”

She released me and gave me a warm smile.

“You’re welcome”

I wiped the tears from my face.

“Do you still want to meet my friends today? I’m sure they wouldn't mind if we meet tomorrow”

“Nah, it’s alright. I’ll get over it”

Twilight nodded and we continued to walk down the dirt road. I looked over to Twilight and smiled.

“Of all the ponies I could have met, I’m really glad it was Twilight”
