Dazed, confused and covered in books, i uncovered myself and saw a blue coated pony with a rainbow colored mane and tail laying on top of the scattered books all thrown off the shelves who said in a tomboyish tone, "Sorry gals. Is everypony alright?"

The other ponies growned to their feet virtually unscathed, nothing serious and as the one that caused the disaster got back to her feet I saw that she had wings like Fluttershy, only hers more sleek and airodynamic in proportion to her body. "Rainbow Dash, this is the third time this month you've done this!" Twilight said in a huff as soon as she got to her senses.

"Sorry Twilight, i was just practicing..."

"And things happen. I know, you've said that."

"I know and i'm sorry, let me help you clean up..."

"Oh, do't worry about that, it seems our friend here can do it in the blink of an eye." Twilight gestured at me.

"Um, nice to meet you, my name's Bailey."

"And I'm Rainbow Dash! Soon to be Wonderbolt!"

"Wonderbolt?"

"Oh, they're..." Twilight begins to say.

"HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE HEARD OF THE WONDERBOLTS?!?!?!?!?!?! They're only the best fliers in the land! Everypony has heard of them."

After a second or two of silence, i shyly responded, "well I just got here today, so I couldn't really know that much about them."

Embarressed, she replied, "Oh, sorry. I thought you were from around here. You need some help cleaning up Twilight?"

"If you don't mind."

"Oh it's no problem at all, let me just..."

"Hey, why don't ya'll let Bailey here do it? He done it in lickedy-split just a moment ago." Applejack interupted.

"Well i would hate to take some trainning away from someone like you, Rainbow Dash." I replied as humbly as i could.

"What do you mean training?" Rainbow Dash inquired.

"Well there are an few old sayings where i come from, like: 'anything can become training, as long as you remember what it's for. For, even carrying a simple pale of water for a bath becomes a test of strength if you want it to be.' or 'even the most powerful of masters train harshly to sharpen their skills by doing everyday rutine we do anyway.' " (please not that i'm looking for better quotes and any suggestions are encuraged)

"I didn't think of it like that. Well in that case, give me a sec to get some of these books here." With that, Rainbow Dash started picking up books left and right, getting more of a workload then i thought she could handle and not long after, the room was back to it's previous clenlieness. "Wow, i didn't think i could get this much of a workout from that! Thanks."

"Well you did push yourself to get as many books as you could." Twilight  informed.

"That's because she's used to trainning in the 'push yourself harder' meanning." I replied. "And might i say rainbow, that you have an excelent stature and build for airodynamics"

Raonbow dash looked at me proudly and a bit confused, "th... thank you?"

"I mean that you look like you could slice right through the air with ease. Would you mind if i took a look at you?"

"Taking a good look at just how awesome i am? Why would i say no?"

she soon struck a pose of valor as i looked around her and when i knew i was out of direct sight i used my magic to surround her wings and back to see exactly how her wings worked and seemed to be extraordinarily simmilar to most birds. It is as if their dna contains the genome for wings to be grown on their backs, like how the wings grow on a bird's body, and the activation genes are only is the ponies that have them, but i would have to run much more detailed tests to confirm anything. "Thank you, it sure seems like you're perfect for flying at high speeds."

"You ain't kidding about that!" Rainbow dash exclaimed, "I'm the only pony in history to do a sonic Rainboom!"

"It's where she makes a sonic boom and a rainbow at the same time, and it is amazing to watch." Twilight explained.

"Wow! I didn't think it was possible to go over 340 meters a second by yourself."

"Meters? second? what are you talking about?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh, sorry, they are units of measurements where i come from. A meter is used to measure length and second is for time." Now i had to stop myself for a second, I now had to accept that they don't have the same measurements that i know of, not only that but the fact that i have nothing to relate the measurements i know to this place, not to even mention that the laws of physics could be very different: for all i know, light could travel much faster or even slow, maybe the density of air is lower, maybe the speed of sound is different, even with simmilar air pressures.

"So about how long is one?"

"Well... i'm trying to think, but i can't think of a way to say how long they are."

"Well is it longer then a hoof?" Twilight asked, raising her front leg, showing my the hoof.

"It's much longer, i just can't tell by how much."

"Ugh... enough of this, I'm going to go practice some more." Rainbow exclaimed before rushing out the open window.

"I guess I'll go too, I feel like taking a walk around." I said, wanting to get some time to think.

"I can come with you if you want." Twilight suggested.

"I'd hate to trouble you..."

"It's no trouble at all, I've already finished my work this week and i was already going to just sit and read after i was done helping Applejack."

"Well, alright. But can you bring a map with you?"

"Sure." Twilight said as she used her magic to levitate a piece of paper in one of the shelves and put into a backpack of sorts as she put it on her back.

"And thank you Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Spike, I won't be bothering you anymore." I said polightly as a joke.

"Twern't nothin. Just give us a call if you every need anythin." Applejack happily stated

"Yes darling, please do, it was a pleasure meating you." Rarity complied

"Oh... um... what about Pinkie Pie's party?" Fluttershy gently commented.

"Oh! We completely forgot!" Twilight replied in supprise.

"I'll go and see if she's already got the party done. Just give me a sec." Applejack stated as she rushed out the door.

"Well we don't want to keep you all here, you can go if you want." I asked, thinking Rarity and Fluttershy would return to what they were previously doing.

"We'll wait and at least see when Pinkie's party is." Rarity said comfortingly.

"Alright, i was thinking about waiting outside actually."

"Why don't you look through the Balcony?" Twilight suggested, "it's just upstairs."

"Ok, do you mind showing me there spike?"

"Me?" he replied really confused.

"Yeah, why not?"

"Ok..."

As we made our way up the stairs and got out of sight of the others, i wispered to spike, "you love Rarity, don't you?"

He jumped, almost screeming when he replied in a paniked whisper, "how... how do you know about that?"

"Oh, so i was right."

he blushed, then angraly wispered, "so? what about it?"

"I'm only saying because i saw you glarring at me when i was talking with Rarity."

"Oh, you saw that." he replied sorrowfully.

"It's fine. I'd do the same thing if i saw the woman i love talking so nicely to some other guy." I saw him lightly nod in agreement. "I'll tell you what, I'll help you get Rarity if you help me understand this place by answering any questions i have."

"really? But what about Twilight? Wouldn't she be better at teaching you?"

"She's too busy trying to understand who i am and what i'm doing, plus she won't understand like a bro would."

"Bro? like brother? Do you think we're related?"

"No, where i'm from, a bro is a very good guy friend."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"So we have an agreement?" I asked as i lifted my hoof in the motions of a fist, almost like a puch. I saw he was confused, and started to reach it like a handshake, "do you know what a brofist is?" I had asked as informative and helpful as I could.

"No, and it kinds sounds like i don't wanna know."

"Where i come from, it's a sign of understanding and respect between men. All you have to do is put out your hand into a fist and i do the same, then we bump knickles."

"Oh, i get it! Bro-Fist!... well in your case it would be a brohoof." spike zinged as i giggled at the pun.

"We good bro?"

"Yeah... Bro." Spike replied happily, bumping my hoof. We had been walking throughout the conversation and as we finished, spike opened the door to the balcony and i got to see my first real glimps of the town. The Balcony was just above most of the houses, i could see a great deal, all the way past the applegrove and see the forest i had found myself arriving in with the sun getting ready to set, and while gazing at the beautiful landscape, like the most imaginative fairytale could bairly describe, something caught my eye, the sun seemed to tick bye, like the ticking of a second hand on a clock, only more like every minute or five. Off in the distance, on the side of a mountain, i could see the make of a castle, as if growing like a white, elegant crystal out of the side of the mountain. "Isn't canterlot beautiful this time of day?" Spike mentioned, seeing where i was looking.

"Canterlot?"

"Oh, sorry, it's that white place over there on the side of the mountain. That's where me and Twilight lived and grew up, until about a year ago when we moved here."

"Oh? and why'd you come all the way over to this place?"

"That's a long story, I'll tell you sometime you're not busy. But I can say that it was nice getting away from all those prissy ponies that judge everything so harshly to these relaxed, caring and easy-going ponies, I'd choose here over Canterlot anyday." I just nodded my head in agreement, staring into the scenery and once again losing myself in the beauty of the landscape. It was a good ten minutes of this bliss that spike prodded me into reality, "hey! Applejack's back!"

I leaned over the Balcony, "hey! When's the party?"

She continued trotting, almost like she couldn't hear me over her galloping, "I'm still lookin for her. I've got a feelin she's givin ya a surprise party."

"Alright, i'll let Twilight know." I yelled as Applejack ran off into the cluster of houses. "You comming down too?" I asked Spike.

"I'll tell Twilight, you seemed to be enjoying the view."

"It's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I heard there were places like this where i'm from. But there arn't, at least not anymore." I said softly, more like talking to myself then answering him.

"Sounds depressing..."

"Oh! Sorry, didn't mean to get you down like that, it has it's beauty too." I replied happily, thinking of all the beauty I saw.

"Alright, I'll be right back." Spike wasn't gone for more then a few seconds when i spotted a clowd that was different from the others, it was much bigger, almost like it had structures in it, I looked closer and thought i saw a rainbow waterfall. I looked closer and seemed like it was like something out of a greek fantasy. It wasn't until then that i could make out the little dots flying in and out of the city to be ponies, It looks like a city. "Looks like you found Cloudsdale"

"Hu?" I jerked.

"That cloud you're looking at is Cloudsdale, The Canterlot of Pegasi!"

"Pegasi?"

"Yeah, Pegasus ponies are the ones with wings, they're also the only ponies that can walk on clouds."

"Walk on clouds?"

"Not just walk, they can sit on them, lay on them, even play games with them. Any other type of pony will just fall streight through."

"Hm... i wonder why that is..."

"Well I do know there is a spell that lets non pegasus walk on clouds, Twilight used it on herself and all them a few weeks after we got here, when Rainbow Dash was in a competition there."

"And I can assume that she won?"

"I heard so, by doing a sonic rainboom. The second time she's even done it too."

"She only did it twice?"

"Yeah, dirring the competition and once when she was a filly, apparently that one was the reason all six of them have their cutie marks."

"Oh? I'd love to hear that story... After you tell me how you two came to Ponyville." I happily replied as we looked at the landscape.
Still unedited and happily looking for comments and critisism.
