Chapter 1 - Spring Swing

The camera zooms in on an old man sitting at an outdoor table at the Sweet Shoppe.

His name was Stan Lee.

Stan Lee: "Welcome true believers, this is Stan Lee. We're about to embark on the exploration of a fantastic and fascinating universe and the best part is that you are gonna witness it with me. You may know me as a storyteller, an imaginative genius, or even a legend, but hey on this journey consider me your friendly, neighborhood Stan. While Elijah provides the wonderful worlds of Canterlot City and Equestria through a different perspective, you'll witness the sights and sounds. All you need to take part is your brain. So take a listen and think big. Remember when I created characters like the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Hulk, and the X-Men? We were all fascinated by science and awed by the mysteries of the great beyond. Today we consider a nearer deeper unknown one inside ourselves. So ask yourself: 'What is more real? A world that we are born into or the one we create ourselves?' When you come up with an answer, you'll realize the magic of the Marvel universe."

Stan gets up, leaves a 50 dollar bill, and hails a taxi. The door opens and he gets inside but leaves the door open to look into the camera and smile.

Stan Lee: "See you later, true believers. And buckle up..., *buckles seatbelt* 'cause it's sequel time! Excelsior!"

He closes the door and the taxi quickly drives away.

It was the beginning of spring break in Canterlot City. The skies were clear, the sun was shining, and the streets were the most peaceful they had ever been.
