- Chapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville
- This tale takes us back a little in time, during which Anon was still in a comatose state and his life hung by a small thread of hope. While his body now lies still his mind is wrapped in a turbulence of chaos.
- "How's that hole in your abdomen treating you Anon?"
- "What?" turning to face the voice Anon saw that it was himself who had posed the question. Trailing his eyes downward to his own abdomen Anon saw that he indeed had quite a large hole placed in his abdomen. Clutching the bleeding hole Anon fell to his knees. This couldn't be real… He would have felt this pain long before his doppelganger pointed it out. But regardless of that thought the pain seemed real enough to bring him to his knees, it was taking everything Anon took to stay conscious.
- "Hah, you think you're conscious?" Doppel Anon smirked, "Moreover you think that hole in your abdomen hurts?" The Doppel Anon finished his statement with his voice raised in anger before lowering his voice to more sympathetic tone, "No… You know what hurts more don't you Anon?"
- Looking up Anon would have laughed if he wasn't in so much pain, something that hurt even more? That wasn't possible, Anon was pretty sure if he removed his hand's he'd see his liver peaking back at him. No, he had to concentrate on waking up! This was just a nightmare and Anon was beyond nightmares.
- The Doppel Anon slowly made his way over to Anon and knelt down placing a hand softly on his shoulder before grabbing Anons' face and turning it toward his own. "Is this how you act when someone asks you how you're doing? Come on Anon you're hurting my feelings. It's almost like that one person…"
- Anon was standing he felt happy, truly happy for the first time in his life, in front of him was someone, a girl? She had black hair down to her back, her face blank… Anon tried reaching out to her but upon touch she shattered and took with it the floor from under him. Falling Anon tried grasping at something, anything and to his surprise he was able to. Something inhuman, a horse? It gripped his hand and stopped his fall but seconds it began to turn to ash as a bright light shown behind it.
- "Please…stop.." Anon tried closing his eyes but the Doppel Anons' eyes only shined brighter his gaze burning into him like that of the sun. He couldn't take it anymore, too many images that he'd never seen before were being burned into his mind. Between the images and his stomach spilling out of his abdomen Anon collapsed. The last thing Anon remembered seeing was that same horse running toward him in the distance.

- You hadn't noticed it when you first woke up but you were naked! Why were you naked and where were your clothes?! Panicking you looked side to side before finally resting your eyes on the doctor who raises his eyebrow at you.
- "As I was saying Mr. Anon, could you please stand up, I would like to take another look at your wound." stated the stallion as he reached for your bed sheets, the last line of defense you had.
- "Uhh… So where were my clothes again?" you question in an attempt to buy time.
- "Ah, I'm terribly sorry Mr. Anon, but about your clothes…" he points over to a trash can full of cloth, "Due to the severity of the situation we had no time to remove your clothes and instead had to cut them away. There was so much blood we were unsure if it was only coming from your abdomen."
- FUCK! You had thought that those strips of cloth looked familiar; sure enough those were your clothes in there however now reduced to mere scraps of cloth. You needed clothes, but where? Do ponies even wear clothes? Why would they!? You begin to break out in a light sweat as the realization that you're fucked settles in.
- "Come on Anon we don't have all day, just stand up and let us see your wound!" Rainbow Dash replied in an annoyed voice, reaching for your blanket.
- Why were they even here!? Every single one of those mares had their eyeballs locked on your form. Twilight even had a fucking notepad and pen, what was she going to do? Write down how tiny your cock was for reference?!
- At that moment the door slams open and you turn your head in relief. Trotting in with what looked like a new suit of clothes was Rarity. You have no idea how or why but the only thing you could do was thank god.
- "Oh Anon I took the liberty of making you some new clothes! Though I wasn't able to accurately measure you I'd like you to try them on later and I can--"
- "No please!" you interrupt as your voice cracks a bit, "I mean, I'd very much like to try them on right now, they look outstanding."
- Taken back for a second at your statement Rarity continues her statement while blushing, "Well I say you certainly are a pony who knows his fashion! I would be honored if you would try them on." She floats the clothes over to you and turns to the rest, "Well come on now, we can’t very well expect him to change in front of everyone, besides it will be more of a surprise when we see the end result! Come on ladies."
- With that the seven of them exit the room as Twilight closes the door with hint of disappointment on her face. Later on you were going to have to do your best to repay her generosity for unwittingly saving you. As you scramble into your clothes you notice there is no underwear but it was better than nothing. "Wow… they really do fit almost perfectly and this is only from looking at my dimensions?" buttoning up your shirt you walk over to the trashcan to shift through it. They may have cut off your clothes but hopefully they-- Aha! As you expected your sneakers were still intact, pulling them on you stand let the others know that it's alright to enter.
- "Well I must say I've outdone myself, you look simply smashing in your new outfit Anon." Rarity declared looking you over, and heck she was right. The shirt she sewed for you was simple enough, if you had to compare it to something you'd have called it a blue long sleeve button down shirt with the sleeves a tad bit too long. You wore it un-tucked with the sleeves rolled up to your forearms. As for your pants they looked kind of like blue jeans but they felt weird and stretchy so you doubt that it was made from denim. In all they felt nice considering you lacked boxers underneath them.
- "Indeed, I can't thank you enough and actually, would it be alright if you make me some more? I'll be sure to pay for them once I am able to." That statement alone seemed to throw Rarity into a little fit of joy, she must enjoy making clothes or something to be that excited, either way I suppose that means that ponies do wear clothes sometimes.
- "Now Mr. Anon if you would be so kind as to lift up your shirt for me." instructed the doctor as he began inspecting your injury. Obliging you pull up your shirt and look down, for the most part it healed perfectly, there wasn't even a scar. Something about healing magic that the doctor was explaining to you, although they were only able to use it to grow skin to cover the wound. Your insides still ached.
- After a pause the doctor stepped back and smiled, "Congratulations on your recovery Mr. Anon!" he said before nervously adding, "We weren't all too sure that you would make it when you first arrived but one thing for certain is that you have a strong will to live."
- "Well let's just say that dying isn't all that high on my list of favorite pastimes." you say with a slight chuckle as you cover yourself. Behind you however Pinkie Pie explodes with laughter. Man if only women back in your world laughed at your jokes this hard. "So, I suppose I'm free to go?"
- "Yes but I must stress, hold off on any strenuous activities for a bit, that was a serious wound you came in with. It would be a shame to see somepony back again so soon after his release."
- Noting the doctors warning Anon walked out of the hospital with his six newly made "friends" one of them erupting into a flurry of words and spasms. "Oooooh, Anon! I just know that you're going to love it in Ponyville! There are so many fun things to do and ponies to meet! We're going to show you around town and everything!"
- "Sure…" said Anon, mustering as much enthusiasm as he could while Pinkie made circles around him bounce-skipping. "So, where to first?"
- "Well of course that would be Ponyville town hall! It's going to be the start off for our tour around Ponyville." Pinkie exclaimed unable to contain her excitement, slightly pumping you up for the event. It made sense that you would be meeting the mayor of the town that you saved, you just hoped that there wouldn't be a long drawn out formal ceremony of some giant key being given to you. Not that you would be unappreciative, it's just formal events really put you to sleep.
- "So, how far is it to this town hall?"
- "Not too far, the town hall is located in the center of Ponyville which was only a few minutes away from the hospital you were staying at." informed Twlight.
- "Awesome." As you begin to let your eyes wander you can't help but noticed that everything in this world is brightly colored. From the pastel colored ponies to the houses they lived in right down to the impossible emerald green of the grass.
- "Cone on Anon, pick up those hooves, we're just a step away!" Pinkie exclaims as she bounces ahead of you down the path. A few dozen feet in front of you is the largest and most vibrant colored building you've seen yet, must be the town hall. Pinkie makes her way inside closing the door behind her. As the rest of you finally reach the town hall Applejack opens the door for you as you have to stoop to step in.
- SURPRISE!!! WELCOME TO PONYVILLE, ANON!
- Right as you step into the town hall you're assaulted by the cheers of what was probably every pony in Ponyville. Blushing slightly you turn away briefly as you remember what Pinkie Pie had said earlier. She did say she was going to throw you a party for a variety of reasons but this was outrageous! Looking up you see a giant hanging banner with three different reasons plastered across it:
- Thanks for Saving Ponyville!
- Congratulations on your Recovery!
- Welcome to Ponyville!
- Turning back to face the crowd you were only met with smiles and warm faces which only made you blush harder. You were never one to celebrate anything for yourself and here you were at a surprise party for your sake thanking, congratulating and welcoming you. Not a single face showed fear or horror at a being that they've never seen in their lives. After a few seconds of still standing there stunned you felt a slight nudge, "Go on sugarcube, introduce yerself. Everypony is waiting on ya."
- Wavering slightly you step forward looking out at the crowd before stuttering out your response, "Uh… Hi! I'm Anon."

- Best Party Ever.
- Seriously, if there was one thing Anon never really liked it was parties but Pinkie Pies parties were right up your alley. If this were a party back on Earth it would be full of socially awkward kids that needed alcohol to interact with each other. The only games being played would be variations of drinking games and everyone would wake up hours later covered in puke with a headache while commenting on how fun last night was that they couldn't remember.
- Pinkie Parties on the other hand are nothing like that! After meeting every pony in Ponyville there were delicious cakes and nonalcoholic drinks and variants of party games you hadn't played since you were a kid. Even the music was pretty good; this awesome white colored pony with spiked blue hair busted the most amazing dub step beats you've heard in your life. Then after that she held a karaoke contest.
- As the party finally began to die down you take a seat next to a demolished food table and pass the time staring out at the ponies. DJ Pone was still tearing out some awesome beats with a few ponies dancing around her. One of them in particular was the magenta mare who brought you to this place and oh man. You thought that you couldn't dance but damn, Twilight was just… Words can't explain that much fail.
- "Hey Anon! Are you enjoying the party?" Pinkie Pie knocks you out of your thoughts as she jumps onto your back.
- Looking up you can't help but smile at such a silly mare, "Like a fat kid in a candy store." She topples off of your shoulders and goes into a fit of laughter. Well at least you can always count on Pinkie to laugh at your jokes.
- The party continued on for a good hour and a half before breaking up. You were actually about to feel a little sad about it before Twilight mentioned something about a schedule and having multiple places left to visit. If going to town hall was this fun you were kind of excited as to what was next.
