>You finish covering up the hole you made with a shovel.
>You move the big flat rock you got from Pinkie and place it in behind the hole.
>You pick up the painting tool.
>You start writing on the rock.
 
'Here lies Anon's greatest friends.'
 
'Trystan, Pierce, Debbie, Abraham, Faith, Raymond.'
 
'May they rest in peace knowing they finally arrived on an alien planet.'
 
>You make sure that would stay permanent.
>You stand up, and give them a proper military salute.
 
>You gathered the ashes of your friends in the ship's cockpit and put them in an urn.
>You noticed that there were also the ashes of the space pirates in the next room. Fuck them, you let a cleaner droid take care of them.
>You gently folded up their uniforms, gathered their name tags and placed them in their bed lockers. Something for their families.
>You gave your friends a small funeral for now.
>You walk towards the ponies after you are done.
 
>"I'm sorry Anon, were they your friends?" asks Twilight.
"Yeah, my best friends."
>Silence falls.
"Huh, we always joked about arriving on an alien world and things like that." you clench your fists.
"But not like this."
>You try your best to keep the tears inside. You fail.
>You wipe your eyes and talk to the ponies.
"Can you show me this place?"
 
>You and the 6 ponies walk towards Ponyville, or fly or jump towards it.
>Ponyville? These names again.
>Twilight tells you that about 2 hours ago when the town's ponies were starting their day as usual, thunderous noises and bizarre phenomenons started appearing.
>Near Applejack's family farm, 'Sweet Apple Acres'.
>No wonder Applejack was worried.
>When Twilight and the others came to investigate your ship was there and you came out of it.
>As you get closer to this little town you see all these colorful old fashioned houses that you would only see in documentaries.
>Then you notice a crowd of ponies gathered at the entrance.
>As you get closer, they seemed either confused or scared.
>Well, anything would be scared if something really came out of that giant mess.
 
>Come to think of it these pony things are cute.
>They are like living, talking, plushies.
>They seem pretty hospitable too.
>How the fucking hell did these things come out of the evolutionary tree?
>Charles Darwin can't explain this shit.  
>Oh and the fact you are speaking the same language?
>Some kind of translator device you have back home?
>That works on different species, right.
>Oh well you probably should do the scientific thinking later. Your head still hurts.
 
>"Anon, maybe its a good idea if we talked to them first." says Twilight before getting any closer.
"Agreed, I don't want to scare them."
>First impressions, always important. Especially on first contacts between alien species, you think.
 
>"Princess Twilight, is that another monster?"
>"Is it really safe to bring it here? What if it tries to eat us?"
>"Did it really come from those loud explosions?"
>"Its like he has almost no fur on its skin!"
>So much for that impressions thing.
 
>Twilight motions her hooves to calm the ponies down.
>"Everypony, please, do not worry. This is not a monster, he's name is Anon. He says he is a Human, an alien from outer space."
>The word 'alien' seems to interest them. Chatter, chatter, chatter.
>"Yes, he arrived after those phenomenons. He is not feeling well and asked for our help, we can't ignore somepo- or anything that requires our help."
>"But how and why did it come to Equestria?"
>Twilight looks at you.
 
"I didn't intend to come to Equestria, actually." you say.
>"Hey, he can talk!" "It does sound like a HE."
"To be honest, I don't know how my ship arrived here. There was a huge accident and next thing I know, I'm here."
>Pretty vague, but that is pretty much it.
"I assure you, I didn't come here to cause trouble. I would just like to find my way back home."
>More ponies talking to each other.
>"I'm sure you have more questions, but Anon needs some help, you can resume your daily activities." Twilight tries to calm the ponies down.
>The crowd of ponies make way for Twilight and rest of the group.
>That ended pretty well. This horned pony with wings really knows what she is doing.
>Did one of them say 'Princess'?
 
>"Are you feeling sick Anon?" asks Fluttershy.
"I still have a headache and my body feels weaker." you massage your head.
>"Oh my, we should take a look at you, but I've never dealt with an alien before." says Fluttershy.
"Don't worry too much about it Fluttershy, I'm tougher than I look."
>You notice that you're hungry; you puked your guts out back in the ship.
"I'm pretty hungry. Do you have something to eat?"
>"What do humans eat, Anon?" asks Twilight.
"We humans are omnivores, like many mammals and primates."
>"You mean you hunt and eat animals?" Twilight seems a little surprised.
>Huh, ponies must be herbivores, like real horses.
"Uh, yes and no, we...eat only certain animals but we don't actively hunt them. As I said we also eat fruits and vegetables. Some humans like fishing though."
>"Oh like bears and otters? Fluttershy asks.
"Yes, exactly."
 
>You arrive at this large crystalline structure that looks like a castle.
>It certainly stands out from the rest of the buildings. Did some pony actually designed that with that purpose?
>Damn, the interior is more imposing.
>The whole crystal theme is there with gold decors and tinted glasses and more.
>You must be really in fairy tale land.
>"Enjoying the tour, Anon?" says Rarity when she notices you looking around.
"We certainly don't have things like this back home."
>The ponies lead you to a fancy room with a round table.
>Pinkie pushes you to sit down.
>The chair is small and the table is low but you cant complain.
>The ponies tell you they will get some food ready for you. They tell you to relax and they split into groups.  
>Easier said than done, you feel out of place here.
 
>After few minutes you realize there is something peeking its head by the door.
"Hello?"
>It hides when you call it, then it shows himself and walks towards you.
>It is sort of bipedal reptile.
>You thought you saw everything. Is this one of their pets?
>It has a big head with short arms and legs.
>Awwww, isn't he adorable.
 
>"Hi, my name is Spike. Twilight told me you are an alien, is that true?"
>Aaaand he talks, you shouldn't be surprised anymore.
"Yes you can say that, and you are a..."
>"I am a dragon!" Spike points himself.
"Neat."
>You and Spike briefly talk about some of the details before the ponies arrive with bags of goods.
 
>"We weren't sure about hoo-man diet, so we got bunch of different stuff!" says Applejack proudly.
>Applejack comes with fresh produce, mostly apples. This is amazing, the freshness is off the charts.
>Dash and Rarity comes with...a burger and a sandwich? It says "Oat burgers", that's new.
>The sandwich has flowers and stuff in it, you smile and thank Rarity, but tell her humans don't eat flowers.
>Pinkie and Twilight comes back with a box of desserts, like pies and cupcakes. Pinkie says they are some extra ones she baked herself.
>Fluttershy comes with a small bucket of fish, some of them still flopping inside.
>"Please, help yourself." Fluttershy gives you the bucket.
 
>You smile like an idiot, you haven't eaten something like this for a while.
"Dont mind if I do! Oh and Fluttershy, we humans cook our fish. Well, most do, so can I keep the bucket of fish?"
>You start eating.
>The oat burgers weren't too bad. The apples, carrots and grapes taste amazing.
>Pinkie's desserts, oh man, you could get addicted to them.
>You start to wonder, how can aliens be so welcoming after you just crashed into your town?
>Hell, most humans might go all torches and pitchforks.
>Instead, they invite you into their home and give you a meal.
>You start to think that you will like this planet.
