>After about ten minutes, you were still walking down the trail towards the town. Rainbow Dash had not quietened down with her incessant questioning, and your nerves were frayed.
>”What about other places? Are they as cool? Are there world wonders? Do you have a pet? What’s its name? What do you do for work? Is it an exciting job?” Do-“
“RAINBOW DASH! Please… drop the questions. I told you, I cannot remember anything. Just my name. Wait till Twilight sees what she can do. Please.”
>”Oh… sorry Anon. Guess I got too excited.” She looks dejected and lowers her head.
>Oh for crying out loud.
>You rustle her mane and boop her on the nose. That gets her smiling again.
“Hey listen Rainbow Dash, you wanna do a favour for your favourite human?”
>She looks up with enthusiasm, her eyes wide. “Sure thing Anonymous, anything!”
“Since you’re the fastest pegasus in Equestria, could you fly ahead and warn the town of my arrival? I wouldn’t want to give anyone a heart attack. I am a living legend, after all.”
>You know how to stroke someone’s ego the right way.
>Rainbow Dash puffs her chest out and flares her wings. “You got it!” she shouts, before taking off towards the town in the distance.
>Wow. She wasn’t kidding when she said she was fast.
>Applejack snorted in contempt. ”Anon, ya silver tongued devil, ah don’t want ya’ll exploitin ma friends, y’hear?”
“Hey, I wanted to let the town know…”
>”I’m kidding ya.”
“Not funny, Applejack.”
>You reach the outskirts of “P0nyville” as Applejack called it.
>Appropriate name.
>P0nies are waiting around the streets, eyeing you as get closer. Pegasi fill the air as well, floating in place, watching you. You also get your first glance at Unicorns, sporting horns from the top of their head.
>You nod to some of them, keeping a smile on your face, occasionally waving to those with worried looks on their faces. Thankfully, they seem to be relaxing. You had no doubt that the presence of Applejack aided that.
>When you reach what you assume to be the town square, Applejack turns to you.
>”Now Anon, I wantcha to meet some friends of mine. I’m just warning you now, one can be a lil’… excitable… around strangers. Just stay calm, ok?”
“Applejack, please. I’m all for meeting new peop-ponies.”
>”Well allrighty then, just don’t say I didn’t warn ya…”
Meanwhile
>You are Pinkie Pie.
>And today is another great day at Sugarcube Corner!
>You are happily humming to yourself, preparing a fresh batch of cupcakes, when suddenly, your tail begins twitching. You freeze in place, wondering what could be up.
>You hear someone ring the bell as they walk through the front door, and you go to see who it is.
“Oh hey Rainbow Dash! Is it the usual today or-“
>”No Pinkie, I’m not here for cupcakes. I just flew by to say that there’s someone new in town, and he’s a human!”
>You begin ricocheting around the walls of Sugarcube Corner. “Oh my gosh, where is he Dash! I need to find him and give him a Pinkie welcoming and arrange a party and make him feel at home and-“
>I don’t know where he is, I came here from Rarity’s, Twilight’s and Fluttershy’s houses. Not that Fluttershy’ll come anyway, knowing that mare…”
>You clench your eyes shut and, using your Pinkie sense, locate him in the town square.
“Cmon Dash, let’s go!” you scream, before shooting out the door in a whirlwind of confetti and sparklers.
>”Well allrighty then, don’t say I didn’t warn ya…”
“I won’t.”
>Suddenly, a pink ball of candyfloss is shouting at you.
>”HeytheremynameisPinkiePieandwelcometoPonyvilleIt’sreallynicehereandIwantyoutofeelrightathomeandwe’llbebestfriendsbecauseI’mfriendswitheveryponyeventhoughyournotaponybuthatdoesn’tmatterbecauseveryponyismyfriend!”
>Don’t piss yourself, the whole town is watching.
>With willpower you didn’t know you had, you don’t scream or flail about. Instead, you simply stare down the pink p0ny, who you previously assumed to be an animated ball of flossed sugar. She stops shouting, panting heavily, but still bounces up and down on the spot.
>And you thought Rainbow Dash was enthusiastic.
“Please, I can’t make out a word you are saying.”
>”Sorry, I sometimes get over-excited and forget about speaking properly my name’s Pinkie Pie and what’s yours and would you like a party?
“My name is Anonymous, and it’s nice to meet you Pinkie Pie.”
>You notice that, like Applejack, she has neither wings nor a horn. An “earth” p0ny.
“As for a party, I don’t think-“
>”You don’t want to come to my party? But I throw a party for every new p0ny in P0nyville.” She frowns up at you, her eyes wide and filling with tears…
>This is ridiculous. These ponies can blackmail you with cuteness.
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to go, I just… need to meet Twilight first. I’m suffering Amnesia, you see.”
>”Ooh, Amnesia, that’s a funny word! Okie dokie, that gives me time to arrange the party! Seeya later!” she suddenly bounces off, blowing on a trumpet which is emitting confetti with each blow.
“Applejack, what have I let myself in for?”
>Nothin’ sugarcube, Pinkie goes through this everytime someone is new here. Look, here comes Rainbow and the others.”
>From the other side of the town square, 4 ponies approach. You instantly recognise Rainbow Dash, who appears to be dragging a yellow p0ny behind her by the tail, and two unicorns. You wave to Rainbow Dash and approach the white unicorn with the extravagant purple mane.
“Hello Miss Sparkle, I really appreciate your help he-“
>”Darling, I am not the unicorn you are looking for. I am Rarity, my friend here is Twilight.”
>DAMAGE CONTROL DAMAGE CONTROL
“Well… I had a 50% chance of being right. Pleased to meet you, miss Rarity.” You shake Rarity’s hoof, ignoring the giggles and following look of disgust she gives to your clothes, and turn to the purple unicorn beside her.
“Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to-“
>”Oh don’t worry about it, every p0ny makes mistakes sometimes. It’s an honour to meet something like yourself. It’s amazing! Humans have been around in folklore since Canterlot was built, but I never thought I would be able to study one in person! Celestia will want to hear about this immediately, I’ve got to go tell her…”
>Applejack stepped forward. ”Wait up just a second, Twilight. As Rainbow probably told ya, Anonymous here lost his memory, and there’ll be no testin’ or studyin’ until you at least try and help him.”
>”Oh, of course. Sorry about that, sometimes I get caught up in the moment.” Twilight grins sheepishly.
“Don’t worry about it. Every p0ny makes mistakes sometimes.” You laugh. “All I can ask is if you try…”
>”For bucks sake Fluttershy, just talk to him! He won’t do anything!”
>You wheel round to see the source of the commotion, and see Rainbow Dash tugging on a pink tail coming from out of a bush.
>With a crash she tumbles backwards, dragging a yellow pegasus with her.
>She looks up at you and eeps, cowing behind her hooves.
“Relax Fluttershy, I ain’t gonna hurt you.”
>She continues to cower behind her hooves.
>Initiate protocol 157, overriding public inhibitors, deploying tactical tickle. Raspberry squad, stand by for backup.
>You bend down and run your fingers along her belly, tickling her sides. She immediately lowers her hooves and tries to push your hands away.
>”Please… Anon… stop!” she whispers inbetween fits of laughter.
“Not until you stop being scared of me!” you shout, tickling the base of her wings.
>”OH! Ok, ok! I’m not scared! Stop!
>You stand up and she does as well, still giggling. The other 4 ponies are looking at you like you just assaulted her.
“What?”
>”Err… nothing. Cmon Twilight, let’s get Anon’s memories back! I wanna hear his stories!” Rainbow Dash exclaims, flittering excitedly.
>”We can’t do it here, silly. We have to get back to the library. I’m sure I have an anti-amnesia spell somewhere there.”
“Then let’s get moving. No point wasting time.”
>As the six of you begin walking through Ponyville, you can’t help but wonder what was wrong with Fluttershy’s wings.They seemed to be stiff and sticking out, and she was blushing, and avoiding your gaze. You hope you didn’t hurt her or anything.
