>The mirror wasn't a still thing
>You could see the bright, glowing purple miasma, moving
>It pulsed and twisted, almost as if it were a moving thing
>A low chittering sound continously came from it as well; a noise that you swore you had heard it before but couldn't place
>Lying on either side of you were two bags filled with your worldly possessions
>Some clothes, a knit knack or two, as well as a goodbye card that Pinkie had forced everypony in town to sign
>Also next to you was Twilight, your first friend since coming to this crazy land of horses
>It was her that had brought you to Ponyville, tried to get you settled
>She worked for months getting the other ponies used to you; even got you a job at the bed and quill place for a little bit
>On her end, she had done a perfect job
>But you just couldn't settle
>Things were too different
>The ponies, the magic, the monsters; you simply couldn't cope, no matter what you did
>Loneliness was also a major factor
>Just knowing that you were the only human on an entire world, and would probably be the only human until you died, had been too much
>Which was why you stood here now
>Through that portal was a new world
>Not the same one you had left behind, but closer than what Equestria was
>For the last ten minutes, neither you or Twilight had said a single thing
>Both of you had just stood there stock-still, looking straight into the mirror
>It was the alicorn that finally broke the still silence, her wings twitching as she looked up at you
>"Sunset will be right on the other side. She already knows that you'll need some time to adjust, and she promised not to throw any curveballs at you," she said

>With a flick of her tail, the mare turned to fully face you
>Looking down, you could see worry etched on her face
>The sight was like a punch in the gut
>Twilight felt that it was her fault that you felt like you didn't fit in here
>She never said so, you knew she felt that way
>"She was going to take you somewhere to eat if you were feeling up for it, let you meet some of our friends. I also had her get you a bed to sleep on, one that actually fits you."
>A smile came to your face at that
"Thanks, Twi. Really."
>"And remember, if there's anything wrong I'm just a letter away. It might take a few days, but I'll do whatever I need to do to help you out."
>You knelt down
>Before your knee touched the stone floor Twilight was already hugging you
>Your smile widened as you hugged her back, resting your head on her shoulder in that way she liked
"I know. I'll make sure to send you letters."
>"You better," Twilight said, rubbing her cheek against your neck. "At least once a week, so I know that you're okay."
>You nodded, and Twilight hugged you all the tighter
>It took a long while to pry the mare off of you, but you eventually managed it, picking up your bags
>You once again turned your attention toward the mirror
>This was it
>A new, hopefully better, beginning
"Goodbye, Twilight," you said. "Thanks for everything. Really. I mean it from the bottom of my heart."
>Twilight sniffled

>"Bye, Anon. Remember, you're also welcomed here, even if you want to visit for a little while."
"I'll come back to visit," you promised. "After I get settled. Pinkie promise."
>Twilight sniffled again, blinking away tears
>You did your best not to look at her
>If you did you might have felt worse than you already did
>So instead you stared forward
>You took one step, then another
>Stopping, you took a deep breath to steel your nerves
>Another step, the chittering grew louder
>The tip of your foot went into the mirror
>It didn't hurt, as you feared
>It didn't feel much like anything to be honest
>A bit relieved, you continued through it, tucking your chin against your chest as you stepped fully in it
>There was a flash of light, a smell that you couldn't describe, as well as a taste that sat on the tip of your tongue
>Then you were outside
>It was dark, though a light far off partially illuminated everything
>You blinked, looking around
>You were standing near what looked like a school, pitch black and supposedly empty
>You stood next to a statue; supposedly the mirror
>Up above, you could see the stars twinkling in the sky
>A light flicked on to your left, which was followed by a sound you thought you'd never hear again
>The sound of an engine starting
>You watched as a blue, beat up, rusty little tin can of a car slowly made its way toward you

>The sight had you frozen in place
>It might have been the second most beautiful thing that you had ever seen in your entire life
>The first was who stepped out of the car's driver side
>It was a girl
>Tall, slender, with blue eyes
>Even in the darkness, you could see her fiery red and gold curly hair
>It bobbed with each step she took toward you
>"Are you Anon?" she asked, head cocking to the side as she looked you up and down
>You couldn't speak, blinking rapidly as you tried to keep tears down, instead nodding 
>The girl smiled, arms swaying as she rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet
>"I'm Sunset," she said, offering you a hand. "It's nice to finally meet you. Twilight told me a lot about you and it's got me pretty excited."
>You dropped out of your bags, reaching out to clasp her hand
>It was soft, warm; nothing like a claw or a hoof or whatever weird things a minotaur had
>A smile came to your face
"It's nice to meet you too, Sunset."

~_~_~_~_~_~_~

>After you had gotten into Sunset's car, everything was sort of a blur
>It felt odd moving so fast, and the girl was a remarkably bad driver
>She swerved on the road as she pointed out various landmarks, somehow going both too fast and too slow
>She also seemed not to be too concerned about stop lights, flying through them
>Thankfully, the roads were mostly clear 
>In between Sunset telling you about the city, asking about yourself, and whatnot, the car soon had more people in it
>The other girls, Twilight and Sunset's friends, soon joined you both in the car
>The girls seemed to know about you, their greetings warm and friendly
>This worlds Pinkie made sure to give you a big hug and a cupcake, along with a welcome card
>The card you placed in one of your duffel bags, the cupcake you shared with the energetic girl

>All of them were so similar to their pony counterparts, even this world's Twilight
>It was hard not to become related around them, laugh and smile as if you all had known each other for years
>The girls wanted to go to a pizza place
>Pinkie immediately insisted that you go to one at the other end of town, saying that it was "the best in town"
>The restaurant was a small hole in the wall; a small family-owned place that had been there as long as anyone could remember
>It had old, scarred wooden booths, and you could JUST smell cigarettes that used to be smoked here thirty plus years ago
>All of you had somehow managed to cram into the same booth
>You were shoulder to shoulder with Sunset, both of you looking at the same menu
>"So, what looks good for you, Anon?" she asked, flashing you a smile
>In the well-lit restaurant, you could now fully see the girl; see them all really
>All of the girls were pretty in their own way, but Sunset was absolutely breathtaking
>You don't know if it was because you hadn't seen a woman in almost a year, but she was so pretty to you that it was hard to collect your thoughts
"Well... pizza, right?" you said, looking over the menu. "Like two large ones for all of us would be good."
>"That sounds right to me," Rarity said as she looked in a small mirror she had gotten from her purse
>She blew it a kiss, putting it away before looking up at you
>"What about the toppings? I'm partial to anything really."
>"Yeah, me too."
>"I'll eat anything."
"Same."
>Sunset bumped your shoulder with hers, leaning toward you so that her hair tickled your nose
>You looked up at her, mouth setting into a thin line

"Is... pepperoni okay?" you asked, hesitant
>They didn't have pepperoni in Equestria, didn't have much meat at all really
>Ponies couldn't stomach the smell of cooked flesh, and anything that Fluttershy had given you was either about to turn or wild game
>"It's fine here, Anon," Sunset said. "Even I like some meat every once in awhile."
>You released the breath you didn't realize you were holding
"Maybe one with pepperoni and one with steak?" you asked
>The girls nodded, all smiling at you encouragingly, Pinkie even waving over a waitress
"Thanks, girls," you said. "And I'm sorry. I just need to... you know."
>"It ain't nothin' to fret over, hon," Applejack said with a wave of her hand. "We all know ya need a bit o' time. An' don't ya'll worry none, we'll be right here to help ya."
>Sunset nudged you again
>"Yeah, what she said. I might not be the Princess of Friendship, but I think the girls and I can ease you into a brand new dimension."
>She grabbed your arm, hugging it close
>This causes you to tilt your head down just enough to look at her chest
>Sunset was wearing a low-cut top, and, from what you could see, no bra
>The red head was a very... gifted girl, and the shirt she was wearing was thin
>You felt your face grow red as your arm found itself wedged between her boobs
>Sunset noticed, staring at you with a quizzical expression
>"Something wrong, Anon?" she asked
"I... no. It's nothing," you said, shaking your head. "I'm sorry."
>Your words didn't seem to dissuade Sunset one bit
>The girl continued to stare at you for a good minute, until her face lit up with realization
>She looked down at her bosom, then at your red face
>"Oh, I gotcha. Twilight said you were a little weird about that," she said, letting go of your arm

>You looked over to see the girl openingly fondling her breasts, squeezing them together
>No amount of willpower you could muster up could let you look away
>Sunset continued to fondle herself for a few more seconds before staring back up at you
>"If you want you can play with them," she offered. "Not to pressure you or anything, but the girls here can vouch that there's nothing more relaxing that playing with boobs."
>The other girls, casually waiting for your food, voiced their agreement
>So it was the same here was Equestria then?
>The casualness with this sort of thing
>After a year of watching mares and stallions fuck each other silly whilst going on with their daily lives you had sort of gotten used to it
>You had never joined in of course; doing it with a colorful dog-sized talking pony was a bit too much for you
>But Sunset wasn't a colorful dog-sized talking pony
>...Alright, she WAS, but not right now
>Right now she was a very pretty girl
>A very pretty girl that had just given you the go ahead to play with her tits
>You just manage to wrench your gaze from her chest to look her in the eye
"You sure it's okay?"
>"Yep," Sunset said with a nod. "Go for it."
>She pulled her shirt down, squeezing her tits so that her caramel-colored nipples poked just over the fabric
>What little resistance you had crumbled at the sight
>Your hands seemed to move on their own, reaching over and slipping into Sunset's shirt
>The girl let out a giggle as you gave one tit a squeeze, then the other, your heart pounding in your chest

>Both were soft, firm 
>You had never touched a girl like this
>Never so much as kissed a girl actually
>You had heard about stuff like this, watched porn and read your smutty stories written by people in the same boat as you, but no one had said that it was like this
>They never said anything about how warm they were, or how the skin had a little give in it whenever you squeezed
>They also didn't say anything about the smell
>You were close enough to Sunset that her flower-y, cinnamon-y perfume was in every breath you took
>Sunset let out a pleased hum, wiggling closer to you as you pulled her breasts out of her shirt with shaking hands
>You could feel something welling up in your chest
>It was a tingly, aching tightness
>You had felt it years ago the first time you had told that porn website that you were over two hundred years old
>Anxiousness, excitement, nervousness, joy
>It was all becoming too much
>Sunset let out a giggle as started playing with her nipples
>They were a different texture compared to her breasts
>The skin was thicker, tougher
>You pulled on those nipples, lightly tweaked them, not realizing that Sunset was pressing herself against you, a hand on your inner thigh
>Your hands found their way underneath her breasts, palms pressed against her upper stomach and the weight of her tits pressed against the back of your hands
>It was an odd position, you didn't know why you did it really, but you just sort of did it
>As you did that, you leaned over, giving Sunset a kiss on the lips, again not knowing why but doing it because it sort of felt right

>Sunset's eyes widened
>The other girls--who had been watching the scene unfold while casually chatting with each other--let out a gasp
>All eyes snapped toward you, making you flinch
>Applejack was the first to break the silence, letting out a chuckle
>"Howdy duty... Kissin' a gal like that in public," she said, fanning herself with a hand. "Ya better watch that partner."
>"Yeah! This is a family-friendly place, Nonners!" Pinkie said. 
>Rarity cleared her throat
>"Now girls, you know Anonymous here is from different... circumstances. Still, Anon, if you could refrain from such things in the future. It wouldn't do for us to get kicked out of here now, would it?"
"Sorry!" you blurted out, pulling your hands away from Sunset, placing them on the table. "It's just!--I mean, I was just!-- I didn't!--"
>You turned toward Sunset, who was staring at you
>The girl had a blush on her face, but you saw a small smile as well
"I'm sorry, Sunset. I didn't mean to do anything wrong, I just--" you began, only to be shushed by the girl
>"It's alright, Anon," she said, tilting her head to the side so that it was resting on your shoulder. 
>She reached under the counter, grabbing your hand and giving it a squeeze
>"I didn't mind."
