As he finally found someone in this weird place, he realized something: It was a PONY. It actually made him realized something more freaky: He was a pony too! "Are you alright, Mr. Mask?" "Hum, yes..." As Anto was about to introduce himself, he tought; Maybe he should keep himself anonym for the moment. "I'm Masquerade, and i think i lost myself..." "Well, pleased to meet you. I'm Dusty Wind. Are you from ponyville too?" "Huh, nope, i'm from huh... Mannhatan?" "You mean Manehatten?" "Yes, Manehatten, like you said..." "Isn't it like really far?" "I know, i just enjoy to walk long distances." Dusty laughed. "You're quite funny, Masquerade. I hope you're gonna stay a while here!" "Well, i'll have to find my way back eventually..."
Troy finished the book, for the most part. He skipped over much of the exact details, but had a pretty good idea of where he was, and the place's history. He was in some town named Ponyville, a medium sized countryside town, much like the kind of place he had wanted to move to back home. He browsed the shelves to try to find something else to give him a better idea of what this place was like now, when he decided to see what that pony Twilight Sparkle was up to. Err since he started reading, she had been working on some expriement, and had occasionally gotten approving glances for his interest in books. "So, what exactly is Ponyville like?" He asked when she didn't seem to be too busy. "Well, it's usually a quiet place, hey, maybe you should go hit the market for some food, I bet your hungry by now." She said, instantly, Troy's stomach started growling, much more obviously than on Earth. "Yea, about that, I don't have any money." She looked at him questioningly, but for some reason didn't ask. She just told him to follow her, which he did in hope that she would get him some lunch.
After a long and silent walk, they finally arrived to the end of the forest, and passed in front of some cottage, over-occuped with animals of all kinds. "What's that place?" "Oh, this house?", replied Dusty. "Only Fluttershy's cottage. She knows everything about animals." "Ooh.. that explains why she's having so much animals, i guess..." Dusty laughed. "She ain't HAVING those animals, they're at this cottage because they like fluttershy!" "How is it possible to be having such a power over animals?" "You ask, but i don't have answer. Anyway, i'm gonna let you follow your own path. I prefer to stay in the forest. See ya!" "Thank you again, see ya around!" And 'Masquerade' continued walking in the snow and cold, in a search for a shelter.
Twilight lead 'Fire' to a building that he presumed to be a bakery, "Now, let me warn you, one of my friends lives here, and well, I'll just say she really likes meeting new ponies and leave it at that." they entered and Fire saw a bright pink at a counter that had a cotton candy-like mane. "Oh hey Twilight, what are you here for and..." She procedes to take a super big gasp (Like when she first saw Twilight), " Who's this! Is he new?! Is he your friend Twilight!? Is.." Troy bloks out the ponies multitude of fast questions and just hoped that she would suddenly, "AAAHHH!" he was suddenly snapped from his day dreaming by the pink pony's sudden apperence in front of his face. "Heellllooo, I said, what is your name!" she said in her super fast, super hyper voice. "I am Fire Mark." he said slowly, hoping to slow down the conversation. "Oh that is so cool! I'm Pinkie Pie and we are going to be best of friends!". "Uh, yea sure, I was just wanting something to eat acually." he said, feeling quite awkward. Pinkie Pie then went on another rant and continued to do his best to block her out.
Masquerade walked till he found some bench in a park, on wich he sat, to observe his mask. Just as he removed it, he felt completly different. Anyways, he had to see this mask. It was completly white, but there was a relief on the left side. When he moved it, the light made it looked like shining in a pale shade of purple. The material seemed to be leather, and a metalic sheet (he guessed) inside of the mask made it hard to fold it. It was a great quality mask; inside was a comedia del' arte personnage's name, "the doctor". Indeed, the long, curved nose of the mask was the same as the doctors at this time period. After his inspection done, he putted it on again, and continued walking to the center of the village, trying to find some place to stay for the night. "I could still go in the forest, but i'll for sure catch a cold...". There was a lot of ponies enjoying winter, walking or having fun in snow. It was in nearly the end of the afternoon, and he started to feel hungry. What could he eat? Could he eat some meat, or will he have to eat some wheat? Will his diet differe from his human one? Thinking about food made his stomach growl, jus as he passed near an orange-coated pony, with a long blonde mane, attached with a ponytail. "Heya, Masky, You seem hungry?" "Hum, yes, i am." "Follow me, m'friend, i'll find you sometin'." She started to walk, and Masquerade followed her. "Thanks, i just arrived in town, and haven't ate for a long time." She laughed. "Yeah, i could see that. Name's Applejack, but everypony calls me AJ." "And i'm Masquerade, nice to meet you." "Same for me, Masky. So, since y'a new in Ponyville, want me to show ya around?" "Why not? But isn't it late for a visit? This town doesn't look so small..." "Ya right. D'you have somepony expecting you?" "Don't think so. You're the second one i met here, and i don't have nowhere else to go." "So you could come over at the ranch, and we'll find you something." "Woah, thanks! Glad i met someone like ya here!" "And glad i could help somepony in need. We're almost arrived."
'Fire' had managed to slip away from that crazy Pinkie Pie, and was sitting on a bench when Twilight found him again, "Sorry about that. Pinkie is pretty crazy." Twilight said. "Ya don't say!" Fire said sarcastically. "Here, I'll take you to Sweet Apple Acres, I'm sure Applejack will be more than happy to meet you." "Fine, as long as she isn't so crazy as Pinkie pie, I don't care, lead on." and Twilight lead Fire towards Sweet Apple Acres.
As they approached from Sweet apple Acres (an apple farm in the good season), Masquerade found a mask on the road, almost all hidden under the snow. "Hey Aj, look at that..." "A mask like yours?" "No, this one's different. It's... Harlequin's mask?" "Who's mask? Never heard of that Harley Quinn." "Ya mean Harlequin, and it ain't a pony, it's a personnage from an acting from shakespeare." "Shake spear? Is it a pony from where ya from?" "Hum, yah, it is." "So ya better give that mask back to him. Maybe he dropped it here by accident...?" "Yeah, anyway, better to take it instead of letting it in snow." After a mile, they arrived to what seemed to be the Acres: As long as Masquerade could see, there where appletrees with no leaves, waiting for spring to bloom again. "What a nice farm, really." "Thank ya! Even if it's old, this farm's here to stay." They entered, and Masquerade got presented to Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, and Applebloom. (Too lazy to make intro w/ big mac and his 'eeyuup's.)
Fire followed Twilight though the snow, past the apple orchids until a farm house was visible in the distance. Fire kept on getting a strange feeling that he's seen this place before dispite that it was a cartoon world, but how would a cartoon be made out of something that acually exists? They finally got there and Fire noticed that another pony was there already talking to whom he presumed was Applejack. "Hey Applejack! I would like to introduce you to a new friend of mine, he's name is Fire Mark." Fire eyes suddenly opened wide in shock, FRIEND! I barely know her! Are the rules for friendship her more relaxed here or something?! Fire thought. He put on a mostly straight face and nodded hello. (I'm gonna let you control Applejack for now, don't feel like controlling her)
"Nice to meet ya, Fire mark!", said Aj. "And here's Masquerade, he's new in town." "Yeah, Hi. Nice to meet you two."
"So, I kUnda figure AJ's from here, but what about you?" Fire asked Masquerade. Right now he's curiosity about these ponies overruled his sense of hunger, he wanted to know as much as possible about the place he had been forcibly moved to.
Fire looked at Masquerade suspiciously, had he just almost said Manhattan, which he was pretty sure wouldn't be here. "Oh that's cool, I'm from, uh Canterlot!" he said, remembering the capital city from the books.
Masquerade saw the hesitation of Fire Mark, but at least, he was a good liar. As Masquerade was about to say something, Applejack came back with twillight. "Come on y'all! Let's have dinner!"
(Alright, as I cannot link this to transfer it, I shall start a new sign up sheet in the proper area. Ok?)
