Crash landing is the only way to make an entrance.

Who: Tony Stark, and anyone who comes across him.
Where: Somewhere on the front lawns.
When: July 2
Rating: G most likely
Summary: Tony arrives.

[Tony remembers hitting the ground, he also remembers JARVIS trying to tell him something was interfering with the suit. Everything between these two events are hazy]

...JARVIS?

Sir?

Where are we? And how did something manage to down the suit without touching it?

I am unable to pin point our location, sir. There is no data on what caused the suit to fail. Apart from superficial scratches, it seems that the thrusters are currently offline.

Well fix it, JARVIS.

It seems to be wiring damage, there's nothing I can do, sir.

Good thing we're on the ground then.

[Tony sits up on his elbows and looks around the area, seeing a building not too far away, then he slowly gets up. Opening his mask and looking down at the scratches]

When we get back to the tower, I really need to work on a paint that's harder to scratch off.

Keeping focused on the priorities, like always, sir.

Just focus on finding out where we are, JARVIS.

It may take some time.

I don't care, do it.

At once, sir.

[Pinkie Pie was just rolling around on the lawns, almost like a normal horse would, when she heard the thump. Curious, she bounces over - her favoured method of moving, honestly - to investigate. And that's when she realises that Wonderland must have finally granted one of her wishes.]

Astronaut!

[She whizzes the rest of the distance and starts poking at the suit.]

Which planet did you fall from? How many aliens have you met? Did you see any princesses when you were on the moon?

[Seeing the pink pony come galloping at him, Tony's immediate reaction was to close the front of his helmet and stand up]

JARIVS, what...

It appears to be a pony, sir.

Pony's aren't pink.

Always on top of things, sir. But my readings clearly suggest it is a pony.

[He stared at her as she started poking at him and talking]

Why is it talking?

Please remember, sir. That you are talking to a computer program.

Point.

[Once he's done with that he looks down at the pink pony]

This planet. A few thousand, one of them is something like a friend, maybe. Haven't been to the moon, but if there was a princess there I'm sure I'd have noticed.

Why are you pink?

Huh? You're from Wonderland? I've never seen you around!

[Still whizzing around, still poking at the suit. I do hope there aren't any buttons she might be able to press.]

What colours were the aliens? How many antennae did they have? How come you're not friends with all of them? And there was a princess on the moon; she was there for a thousand years and when she came back to Equestria she was not happy about it!

I couldn't be Pinkie Pie if I wasn't pink, silly.

What? Wonderland? No I mean Earth.

Greyish? No antennae, because most of them were trying to kill me.

Equestria?

Of course, how obvious. I can't believe I didn't realise that before.

You come from this?

[She picks up a clod of earth, puzzled.]

But I guess that would make us related because I'm an earth pony!

[Her face falls. Those aliens don't sound very interesting looking at all.]

Why were they trying to kill you?

Equestria is where I'm from! It's a world filled with talking ponies and absolutely no humans like yourself.

[She gives him a comforting pat.]

Oh, it's okay. So what's your name?

[Tony tries really hard to think, he's fairly sure he hadn't been drinking before he took off on his flight earlier today.

Well, no more than normal.]

...No... My 'world' is called Earth. Proper noun, capital 'E'

And they were trying to kill me because I was trying to stop them from taking over my world.

[He's very glad that his mask his covering his face to hide his confusion right now]

There aren't really many humans like myself in my world... We have a talking horse though... We call him Ed.

Tony Stark.

I see! Oh, that was so mean of those aliens.

[She pokes at the suit again.]

Is this your skin? Because other than that you looked like a human with the weird nose and rounded ears and stuff! And no other humans said they'd met a talking horse that wasn't me or one of my friends. Does Ed have a cutie mark?

[She's referring to the picture on her flank which all ponies get when they find their special talent.]

[Tony shifts back from the poking]

Um, it's scratched enough without hooves adding to the problem, thanks.

[After resigning himself to the fact that this pink pony isn't a drunken delusion, he sighs and opens his helmet to take it off, to show Pinkie Pie how human he is underneath]

You could say it's like skin, just skin that I can take off. It's just a gold-titanium alloy suit.

But my hooves are soft and I'll be careful!

[She nods sagely.]

I see. But it's like a suit of armour rather than a formal dinner suit. Does it let you go into space?

I've had a horse stand on my foot once. Your hooves aren't soft.

Yeah, just like armour. Exactly like in fact. Into space, underwater and even apparently into other dimensions.

That was probably one of those freaky horses which don't talk! My hooves are soft! See?

[So she pokes him in the face with one.]

They even get wrinkled if I'm in the bath too long!

Can you go underwater in space?

Yeah.

[Tony leant away from the hoof after he's poked]

Okay, we don't don't just poke. But yes. Very soft.

Wait, really? They wrinkle? Yeah, that's kind of weird.

Well in space you go under it, over it, around it and in it. But I was talking about the actual water, not some strange supply of space water.

Yes, we do. Want to see me getting them wrinkly? There's a swimming pool and a pond, you can pick where we go!

You need to find some space water! There might be alien fish with a thousand eyes in it. Ooh, we can go together and then we can find a new species each and one can be named after me and the other after you!

Think I'm just going to take your word on that for now.

Fish with a tho- Okay, I'm not missing the subtle irony of the fact that I'm going to ask this question to a pink talking horse... But there wouldn't happen to be any medication that you have forgotten to take at all? Just putting it out there, because you know. You've got a lot of hyper going on there.

Why would I need medication? I'm the nurse, not the nurse-ee.

[Helpfully forgetting to mention that she's just playing at one what with people getting sick from this event, because she's Pinkie Pie.]

No one's really discussed this with you before have they? Hmmm.

Wait? Nurse? But how do you...

[Tony lifts his hands and wiggles his fingers. Because really, how could a pony wrap a bandage?]

I've never seen a nurse do that. Does it help heal humans?

Well, the opposable thumb seems to come in handy, at least from personal experience.

The thumb is the stubby one, right? What does it oppose? Wouldn't it be better for nursing if it just go along with everything else?

It's how humans grab things.

[Tony picks up a stick to prove it, wiggling his thumb a little]

Yes, the stubby one.

Oh. Ponies can grab things, silly!

[She kicks a stick up from the ground and knocks it from front hoof to front hoof to mouth.]

Shee?

That's not grabbing, that's hacky sack with a stick you can snack on.

Wait, why am I even having this conversation?

[She puts this stick down.]

Maybe for you, Mister Tentacle Hands, but it's how we do things back in Equestria.

Fingers. Not tentacles.

Well for thumbless ponies it's going to work isn't it?

[Pinkie decides that this is getting boring.]

Can I try on your suit?
