I crash landed onto the hard grassy soil, and I blacked out. I had no idea where I was. All I saw were some buildings and trees... Wait. Buildings? I'm on Earth again! I thought to myself while asleep. I awoke myself to see where I was. I saw a nicely built bakery and quaint little houses along the streets. Well, I thought to myself, I sure am lucky to be back on Earth. I then began to stretch my legs and arms when I saw I had hooves. Hooves? I thought. No, I must be seeing things. I scratched my back and I felt something fluffy and feathery. Wings? Wings and hooves? Wait, what kind of tortured Hades is this??? And then it struck me like lightning; I was a pegasus. An orange pegasus. I fainted. I once again woke up to see something looking at me. It was a pink horse. "Rise and shine sleepyhead, it's Wednesday!" The first thing I thought was, oh my freaking God. That pink horse is talking. This is now torture. I screamed for a split second. "Wow, you are jumpy! Hehehee!" "How... can you... are you..." "Yes indeedy! I am the marvelous Pinkie Pie, the best party thrower in all of Ponyville!" "Where am I?" i asked this somewhat sugar-high pink pony. She quickly replied, "You're in the hospital, you silly orange pegasus!" I screamed again. "Wait. So I really am an... orange... pega..." I fainted yet again. I faintly heard the hyper pink pony say, "Wow, this pony needs to see the doc." I woke up again in the hospital. Okay, Max, so you're a pegasus. And there are other talking horses. And I'm in a town called Ponyville. Can it get much worse?" "Uhm, excuse me," a brown horse said to me, "you can leave. There's nothing wrong with you. Your party has come to pick you up." Party? I stepped outside to see the pink pony I talked to earlier with the same happy smile. "You ready to go?" "Go where?" "To see my friends of course! You're such a crack-up! Hahahahaa!!!" Well Max, it's official. You've gone crazy. To be continued... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT - Chapter 2 edited in. It was submitted separately, so sorry for the administrative delays! ~DanSze --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As this Arkham-Asylum-insane Pinkie Pie leads me down the way, I ask her a few questions. "So, uh, Pinkie Pie..." "Yea?" "Where are we going?" I ask. "Well, I'll tell you if you tell me your name." That was what stalkers said to little children, I told myself, and you don't want a stalker, do you? But I answered anyway. "My name's Max," I replied. "Now where are we going?" "I'm taking you to the library!" "The library?" I asked. That's where Twilight and Spike are." "Who are they?" Pinkie Pie stopped in awe for a few moments. "You don't know who Twilight Sparkle is?" "Uhhh..." "That's okay! It'll be a new pony for you to meet! Race you there, Max!" I was surprised that Pinkie didn't actually care I didn't know this presumably famous Twilight Sparkle. However, I was kinda bored, so I raced her there anyway. "You're on, Pinkie!" As I reached Pinkie at the library, I was panting like a dog. I tried to start a conversation with Pinkie while we waited for someone to open the door. "So... uh... what's that icon thingy on your back legs?" "Oh, my cu-" She stopped in mid-sentence. "Wait a second. You don't know who Twilight is AND you don't know what a cutie mark is?" "Well, it's kinda hard to explain..." Pinkie then stared at me like I was some sort of liar, easily defrauding her (although I was telling the truth; it would be kind of hard to explain to her or any of these other ponies). "You're a weird pegasus, Max, but I like that about you. It's like you're an explorer from outer-space that crash-landed here and turned into an orange pegasus!" That was possibly the awkwardest moment of my experience in Ponyville, but there are plenty more to tell. "Uh-oh. My pinkie sense is coming on!" Then a strange thing happened with Pinkie Pie. She then (in this order) flopped her ears, then fluttered her eyes, and finally got shaky knees. "Pinkie, what the he-" I was interrupted by a door that practically squished me into paper. I faintly heard someone - or, uh, somepony, I guess - talking to Pinkie Pie with the sweetest voice I ever heard. "Hey Pinkie!" the voice said. "Whatcha doing here?" "I have a friend with me to meet you." "Where?" "He's behind the door!" The pony pulled the door open, and saw a flattened-out me, with screwball eyes and a zig-zagged tongue. "Hi, there, my name's paper!" I said with a nasally voice. I passed out again. Chapter 3 I woke up to see a purple blob thing right in front of me, although everything I see when I wake up is a blobby shape anyway. As I was saying, my eyes became clear and I saw a purple unicorn in front of me. By this point in my Ponyvillian experience, I was used to out of the ordinary things so it didn't really freak me out. "Are you okay?" the unicorn said with that same sweet tone I heard before. "I-I guess so," I answered unnervingly. "Who are you? The local shawma- or, uh, shawpony...?" She giggled for half a second, "No, I'm Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you, Max!" God she was pretty. She had the straightest hair and the sweetest tone and the most beautiful eyes. Those eyes were so delicate they looked like glass. "Pleasure to meet you too! How do you know my name though?" "Oh, Pinkie told me all about you. You must be new to Ponyville. Where are you from?" Pinkie Pie, seemingly breaking the fourth wall and popped from under the bed I lied on. She said, "Well, Max is a space explorer and he happened to crash-land into Ponyvi-" I quickly covered Pinkie's mouth to keep Twilight from knowing about my somewhat mysterious past. "Uhm, I'm East from here... hehehe..." I glanced over Pinkie and gave her my don't-you-dare-tell-Twilight-or-I'll-slap-that-silly-grin-on-your-face-but-not-really-because-that-would-be-kinda-mean-as-well-as-defying-physics-but-you-know-what-I-mean stare. "Well, I'll be on my way now!" Pinkie happily said. "I gotta go help Mr. and Mrs. Cake! See you soon Max and Twilight!" Pinkie closed the door behind her. Twilight giggled and turned back to me. "So do you need a place to stay?" "Yea," I replied, "until I get a new job around town." "Oh, we've got tons!" Twilight somewhat quickly said that almost made me jump. "There's working at Mr. and Mrs. Cake's bakery, or maybe you could get a place at Nate's caverns-" "Who's Nate?" I asked Twilight. "Oh, you just gotta see him!" Twilight said. "He was the pony who colonized the underground caverns!" Twilight began to walk to the north and I quickly followed her to see Nate. Chapter 4 After a half hour of walking and talking together (we had a lot in common btw) , we reached the opening of a cave. "A cave?" I asked. "Ponies live in caves?" "No, just these ponies!" Twilight said. "C'mon!" 'Uh, well..." "What's wrong?" "I'm kinda scared of the dark." Twilight gave a small chuckle. I couldn't help but be kinda mad. "Oh, sorry," she said after she saw my stern face. "C'mon, let's get this over with." We kept walking through the cave until we reached the center, which had 22 different openings that stemmed from it. The room was lit by fickling torches and small cracks in the ceilings. "So... what now?" I asked. "Just wait here..." She disappeared into one of the 22 individual tunnels. A few minutes later, she came out with another pegasus, with a black cape, green coat (the fur kind, not the one you wear), red mane and tail, kinda short for other ponies, and had bionic wings, legs and a freaky glass eye. "Max," Twilight said, "meet Nate Blazinghoof, the legendary keyflinger!" The pegasus stood tall and proud. "What's a keyflinger?" The pegasus facepal- or, uh, faceHOOFED. Yea. "It's kinda confusing... it's nice to meet you Max!" Nate said. "Nice to meet you too," I told Nate. "I hope I didn't intrude..." "No, not at all. Why do you ask?" "Well, I was wondering if I could move into here." Nate gave a laugh. "What perfect timing! There was only one tunnel left today after Derpy moved in. I have no problem with you moving in!" "Awesome! Well, I better head into my tunnel," I said. "I better head back home too," Twilight agreed. "Well, have a goodnight, guys!" Nate said. We all headed our way. I went into my room/tunnel and slept in my bed. Administrators, I had permission from NateTronicsGuy to use his OC character. Next chapter coming soon!
Some more stuff about my OC and the Caverns (could you please give me credit for that too? Thanks ahead of time!): My avatar is what Nate he looks like (minus bionic hoof, eye and wings. Actual height, by the way. He didn't grow much as a colt, and never grew after, either.). The caverns are called the Underground Civilization of Ponyville, or UCP. The tunnels come only a wood-frame bed and a small lantern. There are 23 pegasi total who live in the tunnels excluding the obvious Max and Nate, some of which are Soarin', Spitfire, Scootaloo, Dr. Whooves, Derpy Hooves, and Cheerilee. Nate also always wears a headset (mic/headphone combo thing) on his head hooked up to his bionic leg. AND, last thing, Nate and Spitfire are dating, so I'm sort of expecing a bit of moderate Nate/Spitfire shipping. No offense, but if you can either change the earlier chapters with my new revised OC and Caverns, I would be very glad. EDIT: Thanks!
Hey Nate! I revised it a little, so you would be a bit happier with the OC product. There will be more shipping between you and Spitfire later in other chapters.
