Rarity and I trotted down the halls. I followed her. If she made a right turn, I made a right turn. If she went left, I went left.
Rarity knocked on a door to the right.
"Come in" a girls voice could be heard calling from inside.
Rarity pushed open the door, and I walked in. There, sitting on one of the chairs (or, thrones I guess), was a purple pony, with purple and pink streaks in her mane and tail, with a magenta star-shaped thing on her flank.
"Hi, Rarity," she said, "who's your friend?"
"Twilight, this is Sugar Blossom, she's new in town." Rarity explained.
"Nice to meet you, Sugar Blossom. I'm Twilight Sparkle, but you can call me Twilight." She seemed nice enough.
"Hi," I said.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small purple and green figure walk into the room. "Hey Twi, what's going on?"
I gasped. Is that a dragon? Did he just... TALK?!
"Oh, hey Spi..." Twilight didn't get to finish her sentence, when I fainted. The last thing I heard before I blacked out was a gasp, probably coming from Rarity.

Chirping filtered through my ears. I peeled open my eyes to a white cieling. Suddenly, everything that happened earlier flooded my mind. I shot up to a sitting position, to feel a searing pain in my head. I layed back down, carefully.
Looking around, I noticed I was still in the giant treehouse. Over in the corner of the white and purple room, was a group of couches and a fireplace. I heard hushed voices, coming from 8 ponies. I studied them. I recognized 2 as Rarity and Twilight. another was the orange one from earlier. Applejoe? Applejared? I don't remember. Some of the others I recognized as Rainbowdash, the pink pony, and Fluttershy, the animal freak. There was Princess Celestia and Luna there too.
"What's going on?" I asked.
All heads turned towards me. I blushed in embarrassment. The pink pony took a deep breath, but Applejerry put her hoof in her mouth.
"We were just talkin' 'bout where you'll be stayin', sugarcube." Applejimmy explained, taking her hoof out of the pink pony's mouth. That, apparently, was a bad idea.
"Hi, I'm Pinkiepie and I met you before in town and I noticed that I never saw you before so you must be knew cuz I know everypony and I didn't know you, and I was all like *gasp* and I bolted away so I could plan a party for you and I was in the middle of setting up balloons when Rarity was all like *gasp* and I ran as fast as I could to see what happened when I saw you on the floor and I was all like 'I know that pony' and we brought you here and called princess Celestia and Luna and they came and we started talking about you, and I wondered why we weren't talking about my party that had cupcakes ready for you and I looooooved baking them and putting on the swirly icing, come to think of it I loooooove eating cupcakes too, and mmfmmummf mmrmmff." Applejordan replaced her hoof in Pinkiepie's mouth.
"Ya done?"
"Mmhmm," Pinkie nodded, and Applejeremy removed her hoof.
"Now, if ya wouldn't mind telling us what ya saw that made you faint, that would be plenty helpful."
"Oh, it was probably a hallucination, but I thought I saw a dragon that talked."
"Oh, that was spike, my most trusted assistant." Twilight explained.
"Your most trusted assistant is a dragon??!! Dragons are supposed to be mythical!!" All the ponies stared at me with confused expressions. Well, all but Celestia and Luna.
"Dragons may be mythical in your world, but in Equestria they are very much alive," Celestia explained.
"Oh."
"Twilight and her friends will be helping you learn more about the true power friendship has. You will stay with each of them one night and report to me at the end of each day. You will tell me all you have learned and if I think you are ready to make friends on Earth, I will send you home. If not, you will stay another week." The princess continued.
"Ok. Who am I staying with first?"
"That is what we were deciding when you woke up. Any volunteers?" Celestia asked.
"Me me me me me me me me me me!!!!!! Pick me pick me pick me!!!!" (Can you guess who?)
"Well, Sugar, looks like you will be spending tomorrow with Pinkiepie! Tonight you can sleep here."
