After the visit with Luna, I was taken to the front of the castle. There were two strong looking stallions, harnessed to a carriage.

"Uh, is this for me to ride in?!" I asked.

"Yes, Sugar, I have someone I would like you to meet. She is a previous student of mine, but she has moved on. Her name is Twilight Sparkle... Or should I say, Princess Twilight Sparkle! " said Celestia.

"I'm meeting another princess? If you are the princess of the Sun ,and Luna is of the moon, what is Twilight the princess of?"

"Twilight is the official princess is friendship!" Exclaimed princess Celestia, proudly. "Now, you should get going, you don't want to miss your carriage!"

"I guess this is goodbye, then." I said, sadly.

"We will meet up again. For now, goodbye! Have a nice day in Ponyville!"

I stepped in the carriage. I felt like I was in the 1900s! I yelled goodbye as the two stallions began to flap their wings. I gasped in fear as they ran strait towards the cliff! The pony on the left told me not to worry, and when they jumped, the carriage actually stayed up instead of hanging in the air! Equestria looked beautiful from so high up. I looked down to what was called Ponyville and gasped at the sight of the giant, purple tree planted right in the center of the town. It was no doubt princess Twilight's castle! Celestia had said it was hard to miss.
That was when I noticed we were near the ground. What's going to happen
I wondered, as we touched down. Will they crowd me with questions?
The carriage slowed to a stop. I thanked the "engine" and hopped out to the ground. The princess hadn't said where I was going to stay. I would have to find a hotel somewhere.
I looked around and started walking, to see a pink pony with a curly mane and tail bounding towards me. I was halfway through an introduction, when she suddenly gasped and pretty much teleported out of sight in a pink blaze.
Then it started raining. You would expect ponies to run for shelter, but it seemed the rain clouds were only over my head. Wait! I looked up. A gray cloud sprouting rain hung above my head. Then I saw the whoosh of a rainbow colored tail. This day just kept getting better and better (note the sarcasm)!
" I know your there, rainbow-tail!"
The cloud was shoved away. A blue pony with a rainbow mane and tail stood...well, hovered in its place. She had a rainbow lightning bolt and a cloud marked in her coat.

*snicker*"y-you seem to have run into some s-stormy weather on this c-clear, s-sunny day"*giggle* the pegasus said. "H-here, want some help?"*snicker* she flew up to the sky and brought down a cloud. She squeezed it and wind blew in my face, drying me off, but, in the process, messing up my mane and tail. " oh, by the way I'm Rainbowdash. The fastest flier in all of Equestria! And you are?"

"Sugar Blossom." I answered hesitantly.

"Well, see ya later, Blossdog!" She smiled and was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Well, that was weird!" I exclaimed.

"I hope you don't mind me asking, but, um, what was weird?" I heard a small voice say behind me. I turned and saw a yellow pony with a pink mane and tail. She had 3 butterflies etched into her coat.

"Oh, just a pony called Rainbowdash who made it rain on me. My name is Sugar Blossom. What's yours?"

"Fluttershy." She said quietly. She started to stroke the small, white mouse huddled in her mane.

"I'm Sugar Blossom. I see you like animals!" I said.

At that Fluttershy perked up. "I looooove animals! I mean I could go on and on and on and on about them! Do you have any pets?"

"I have a goldfish?" I asked more than said. In my house, fish were never really considered pets.

"I love goldfish! You can sit there all day and not get bored, because their sooooooooooooo cute! They are especially cute if you put them in a pond, or feed them in a tank. Oh I'm soooooooooo glad to finally find someone with the same goldfish passion as me!" Fluttershy babbled.

"Well, why don't you go feed them? Uh since you love them so much?" I asked.

*gasp*" such a good idea! Goodbye!" Fluttershy sped away at the speed of a bullet. I guess, when it came to animals she couldn't resist.

"I'm sorry, darling, but what happened to your mane?! It looks like a hurricane got to it!" A white pony with a purple mane and tale. This pony had blue diamonds on her coat.

"I am Sugar Blossom, I just had a storm with Rainbowdash, and a goldfish talk with Fluttershy, and I know I look terrible, so don't judge me!" I shouted.

"Well, I can do something about one of those problems! I am Rarity, so come with me!" She said happily.

Rarity led me to a boutique, where she let herself in.

"Uh, shouldn't you knock?" I wondered.

"Don't be silly, darling, this is my boutique!"

"Ok, then."

Rarity trotted upstairs, where she plopped me in a chair, put my hooves in steaming water, and wrapped me in a blanket, as if I was just in the freezing sea storms. She grabbed a mirror and brush, and started to fix my mane.
"So, darling, I don't remember seeing you here before. What brings you to Ponyville?"
"Well, I used to be human, and was transported to Equestria somehow, and the princess told me she knew I was coming, and she sent me to learn about friendship from someone called princess Twilight Sparkle."
Rarity just stared at me with wide eyes and an open mouth.
"First of all, what are humans? And I am actually friends with this Twilight."
"OK, will you take me to her? And humans are like ponies only fingers, hands, feet, etc."
Rarity showed me a mirror, and I looked at my mane. I felt like a fashion model. She motioned for me to follow her out of the boutique. We walked for about 10 minutes in town, when Rarity nudged me and pointed at the giant purple tree looming before us.
"That", Rarity started " is the most extraordinary and magnificent castle in all of Equestria. Twilight lives here."
"Yeeee-haw", came a sound from our left. An orange pony with hay colored hair hauled a wagon of apples towards us. She had an apple etched into her coat.
" Applejack, dear, don't startle our guest!" Rarity gave her an angry look.
"Well, howdy, what might I call ya?" Applejack asked.
"Sugarbloom." I told her, as she shook my hand wildly.
"Well it was nice to meet ya, but I gotta go sell them apples back there! See y'all!" Applejack trotted away.
"Come on. Before we " meet" anyone else!" Rarity and I headed into the castle.
