Before you go through it you take a dream journal to write your experiences, your watch to tell the time, and your wallet because it proves who you are. After arriving you set off into the woods, and a short time later you spot Fluttershy. But to your dismay she doesn't understand you, but you attempt to start diplomatic relations with her by pointing to a bear and saying bear. She understands and says it in her language. But the pounding of hooves takes your attention and long story short you get knocked out by Rainbow Dash. When you awake you're strapped into a chair and forced to learn the Equestrian language for a week straight, but when you're released you find yourself back in the chair. Instead of waiting a week Fluttershy instantly releases you, and to your surprise it has only been a few hours. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash take you to a field and while Rainbow Dash flies around, you and Fluttershy talk. Eventually Rainbow Dash interrupts your conversation, saying that Twilight sent the signal to come back. On the road there however you, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy get "ambushed" by the CMC. You get pushed into the bushes by Rainbow Dash, and the bushes act as natural earmuffs leaving you unaware of what is happening. You silently greet the CMC and the six of you go back to the Apple's farm. In the barn you are given a very crude ID, with your name being Human. The shack you woke up in is to be your home, and seeing as you were a "guard" in your old life your job on the farm is to protect it while the Apples go into town to sell their products or buy supplies. But before you can retire for the night the CMC were waiting for you at the door, obviously upset because of Diamond Tiara. A short talk later with her father, with the talk bordering on intimidation. Feeling that the girls won't be bothered again you go home, carrying the three small fillies. Upon going in your home a scroll was on the table, one of the two pieces of furniture. It was a request by Mayor Mare for you to meet her tomorrow. Fast forward to tomorrow, you accept the job and a hidden requirement was for you to train the guards. But, because of your experience you are the Captain of the Guards and because of your unique proportions you were given three hundred bits to properly outfitted. A task that was later done for free by Rarity, despite your continued offers to pay her. You spend seven bits in Ponyville that day, paying for your lunch with Applejack. That night you are visited by Princess Luna, saying that she saw her world on mirrors and that you are not allowed to leave. You wake up in a cold sweat and you believe you see Princess Luna outside your door, taking matters in your hands you scream at her, "GO AWAY YE DEVIL!". Turns out it was Rainbow Dash and she comes back later to slap punch your face. You and AJ go to Ponyville to furnish your house and see how Rarity is doing. And at the last moment to buy Dash a cake. You spend an additional one hundred and fifty-three bits there, one hundred and thirty-three for furniture and twenty for a cake, tipping Mr. Cake five bits. The outfit is done, it is spilt up into three parts. Part one is a shirt with a leather torso covering on top of it. The second part is a pair of shorts with a leather "skirt", for a lack of a better word. And the third part being a pair of leather boots. All of the leather being purple, as it is custom for the Captains to wear purple. Rarity asks to have your old clothes and offers that it'll help her make a model for her to use. To agree, as she did just make you a much more practical outfit. Fast forward again and you, Dash, AJ, and Twilight are eating cake. Within a few minutes you all retire and you go to bed. Twilight then leads you an your men on a distraction, you yell at her, and she runs off crying. The next five days go by and you have trained your guards day in and day out until reports of a robbery comes in. You talk to the Cakes and they tell you Twilight did it, you and three guards go to her place and you talk to her. Her and her house look like they haven't been cleaned or taken care of in five days. Skip over the law talk and Twilight goes free, but she makes you promise to return tomorrow. You do so and get rewarded with bacon, and the rest of the day goes without incident. Now you've just been informed that the Gryphons have declared war and that Ponyville has to evacuate. You give the evacuation five guards and the rest, including yourself, stay behind to buy the town time. Of course, the town thinks it's just an exercise and give you happy farewells. Once They leave you and the rest of the guards start setting up defenses. The battle was hard, and in the end you get hit in the chest by a spear.
