Ponyville

Years of training kicked in, making Jack snap awake, completely aware and ready to attack. Quickly scanning his surroundings, he took note of everything, including things he could use as a weapon. There were alot of things. He seemed to be in a dark room, what looked to be a basement.

Jack started to stand, but found something impeding his progress. Looking down, he sees what he is tied up with rope, the rope tight from his movement. Apparently, they didn't want him escaping, so they tied him up. Unfortunately, they underestimated his strength.

"That's the best they can do?"

With minimal effort, he easily snaps the ropes holding him, loose ends falling to the floor. Jack got up and stretched, joints popping from the long 'nap'. Checking himself, Jack found both his knife and his gun on him. 'These idiots didn't think to check me.'

He thought for a moment, unsure of what to do. He could run out as fast as possible, but could get caught again. He could also just wait in here for his 'kidnappers', where he can attack and interrogate them.

Before he could do anything, he heard talking. They got louder as they approached, then the creak of a door opening was heard. Jack looked to the sound, and aw it had come from the top of a set of stairs.

'So this is a basement.'

A multitude of steps were heard, going down the stairs until they came into view. The first was the purple unicorn from before, making it to the bottom of the stair before more came. The rest of the group that attacked him in the forest came down, all eyeing him with fright, seeing that he escaped his 'bonds'.

Finally, another pony came into view. This one was a pristine white, with jewelry decorating it's neck. She was taller than all the other ponies, but was still just under his height. She also had a flowing multicolor mane, billowing in the nonexistent breeze, like a shampoo commercial.

She also reached the bottom of the stairs, before turning to me. The rest of the ponies turned their gaze to the tall one, waiting for her to do something. She cleared her throat and spoke.

"Hello creature, my name is Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria. May I ask what your name is?"

'Really.' "So, you attack me, knock me out, tie me up in your basement, then want to act nice and ask for my name? Yeah, I'm not really feeling like it."

She seemed to keep her composure, and responded. "Yes, well we needed to keep you here because we need you. Our lands have a problem that we need your help with."

"No, why would I help you? What problem is this?"

She seemed to blush slightly, and responded with, "I cannot tell you right now."

"Then we have nothing to talk about" Jack walked right past everyone, right to the stairs, before he heard the Princess say, "Wait!". He turned back, to see a still blushing Celestia.

"We need you, because we have a crisis. Right now, the male to female ratio is 1 to 100. There are practically no males left. We need you to help us with... r-reproduction to attempt to bring the number of males up."

'Are you shitting me' "Really, so you kidnapped me to rape me."

Her eyes widened, and her blush, along with all the other ponies, got redder. "N-No! That isn't-"

Jack interrupted."Yet I was tied up in your basement, completely at your mercy."

They all looked away, blush evident on their faces. He turned and kept walking up the stairs, the ponies all yelling for him not to go up there. He kept going, before reaching the door. He walked out, then noticed the room he was in. it looked like a library, books on shelves all neatly arranged.

Continuing to the door, he opened it and walked out, then came face to face with another pony. Scratch that. A crowd of ponies. They all looked at him, before one in the middle screamed, "HE'S MALE!"

They all surged forward, ponies hooves touching his all over, especially down there. Jack quickly jumped to the air, then scaled the library he was in. Apparently, the library was inside a living tree, though that was the least of his concerns when pegasi started flying up to grab him. He leapt from his vantage point. Landing behind the crowd, then burt off faster than even an earth pony.

Weaving in and out of crowds and buildings, many mares tried to stop him. Unicorns tried to grab him with their magic, only to have hit roll off his skin. Pegasi tried dive bombing him, only to eat dirt when he dodged. Then, there was the wave of mares behind him, all running and tripping each other to get to me. 'I'm starting to see the problem she mentioned.'

I finally came up to a house, one that had a "For Sale" sign in the front. "That's the best place to hide." Jack jumped, and scaled the walls with ease. When he got to the top, he went down the chimney in the back. Once through, he looked around for something to board it up with. Surprisingly, the house was fully furnished, which helped a lot.

Looking through the house, he noticed that even though these ponies were not very technologically developed, they somehow had things like dishwashers, ovens, and refrigerators. He looked back at the refrigerator. That looked heavy enough. He grabbed it, lifting it with ease. It was light... to him at least. But he doubted these ponies could move it fast. He hauled it over to the chimney, then, with one hand, jammed it up the chimney like a cork.

Suddenly, he heard banging outside his door. Peeking out the window, he was greeted with the crazed look of the crowd of mares. Backing up slowly, he removed his gun and reloaded. He wasn't sure if he would have enough bullets for this. A pop sounded in the house, and he went 180 degrees and shot.

Behind him, was a startled group of certain mares, their princess staring wide eyed at the hole in the wall, 2 inches from her muzzle.

"Sorry, didn't expect you to be here."

She slowly nodded, before speaking.

"Well, this is why we didn't want you to leave. Its can be... hectic."

Celestia turned to the door, then opened it. All the mares outside quickly quieted down, staring at the princess. Celestia cleared her throat, before speaking. "Everypony here is to leave this creature alone. He is not to be attacked or taken during his stay here."

Many pouting mares all trickled away from the scene to continue their day, while still glancing back to the creature.

Jack cleared his throat, "Thank you for clearing them out, I would rather not get raped by a hundred mares."

Twilight walked forward."Now, could you tell us your name or what you are?"

Jack contemplated this, wondering if he should. They did save him, and though he could easily stop anything those mares tried, it could still be good to have the princess on his side. "Jack, my name is Jack Riddek. I am what you would call, human." They all smiled, seemingly satisfied to know his name.

They all opted to sitting on the array of couches in the living room, before Celestia talked. "Now, Jack, where are you from."

'Should I tell them? Not sure how they will react to me possibly being from another world. Or dimension.'

"Far away." Better to be safe than sorry. For some reason, they all looked at the orange pony with the hat, who nodded.

'What was that about?'

"Now, back to the matter that we discussed before your, jog through Ponyville-"

"Wait." Jack stopped Celestia. "This town is named, Ponyville?" 'Please be wrong.'

"That is correct. Why?" she seemed confused, tilting her head slightly to the left.

"Nothing." 'Kill me now.'

She tilted her head more, before returning to her original position. "Anyway, I would like for you to come to the castle in Canterlot"

'Just ignore the puns Jack. Don't kill yourself.'

"So we can discuss more about this issue. I am assuming that you don't have any living arrangements?"

'Damn, she got me there.' "No, I don't"

Celestia grinned. "Splendid! We should leave at once." They all got up moving to the door to leave, Jack following behind. They walked down the street, the Pink one bouncing. As he walked, he noticed random mares in the street, all giving him suggestive looks and swaying their bodies. He looked away, and needed something to distract himself.

"So, I know your name, Celestia; and your name, Twilight; but I don't know any of your names."

They all looked back. "Oh, please forgive us darling, how rude of us. My name is Rarity." The white one with a purple mane said.

They all introduced themselves, the orange one with the hat was Applejack, the blue one with rainbow hair was Rainbow Dash, the quiet yellow one with pink hair was Fluttershy, and the *shudder* pink one, was Pinkie Pie. She had this look in her eye, like she was insane, knew she was insane, and enjoyed every bit of it. He had to force himself to look anywhere but at her.

Soon, they reached what looked like a carriage, like those horse drawn ones from back in time, or in some park in the city. Jack then noticed that these, too, had a team of ponies attached to it, though they were all pegasi. That weirded him out, like with the horse pun on the towns name.

It was big enough for them all to fit, surprisingly. Then, the carriage lurched forward, slowly rising into the air. Soon, they were flying, making their way to her castle. It was weird, the fact that nobody spoke the whole way there. It made it uneventful. Then, the huge castle came into view. It had tall spires rising out of it with rounded tops. All this, while the castle was on the side of a mountain. It was just begging to fall.

The carriage landed, and everyone filed out of it. They were greeted by guards, all female, who lead them inside. As they walked, once again Jack found mares staring at him, maids stopping what they were doing to look as he passed. Finally, Celestia stopped, next to some doors.

"Now, we will have a discussion tomorrow, but for now, I would like you all to stay here in the castle, especially you Jack. Enjoy the rooms, and a good night of sleep. We have a lot of business to get to tomorrow."

They all nodded, before heading to separate rooms. Jack closed his door, before looking around. It was like a hotel room, a bit bigger from being in a castle, but nice nonetheless.

'What have I gotten myself into.'

He took his armor off, along with his sweat-soaked clothes, thanks to all that running. He promptly dropped down on the bed, the mattress giving in slightly, like memory foam. He decided he would hear out what Celestia had to say, but would decline and leave later. With that thought, he closed his eyes, and slept, his dreams completely lucid, planning out all possible outcomes.
