“Alright, I think I have done it Honeydew! I think I have done it!” Xephos exclaimed trotting into the living room of him and his friend’s home, holding a scroll in front of him. “Thanks to Lalna, I have finally cracked the spell that will make our simulations even more realistic! This will certainly help the audience love our little actions even more!”

“Do I still get to dig?” Honeydew asked, standing up to look at his red, unicorn friend.

“Do you ever do anything else? Other than blow things up?” Xephos snickered as he walked over to a bench and sat down.

“I make terrible houses.” Honeydew laughed.

“That you do!” Xephos said joining in the laughter before wiping a tear from his eye and rereading the scroll to make sure he hadn’t missed anything. “Okay... So what I have done is edited the spell so that everything is much more realistic, not only for us, but the audience as well. Like you can smell the grass, and feel the pickaxe hitting the stone when you mine.”

“Cool.” Honeydew said. Xephos rolled his eyes at his friend before tapping his chin.

“Hmm. I just can’t help thinking that I missed something on this though. Lalna said it was perfect, but Celestia knows he messed up several times during his own show.” Xephos chuckled looking back over to spell.

“Then maybe you should test it?” Honeydew said, tilting his head as he trotted over to the bench and sat down next to Xephos, easily being dwarfed by him.

“I would my small friend, but usually when Lalna does it, things tend to blow up. Or try to eat him.” Xephos said sticking his tongue out as he concentrated. “I know it’s just a simulation but still.”

“Then why worry?” Honeydew asked.

“Because I am not so small, I can fit through a trapdoor.” Xephos said ruffling his friend’s mane.

“Then if you’re worried just test it outside or something.” Honeydew shrugged.

“Okay fine. Come on, I don’t want to be alone incase I spawn some hideous demon.” Xephos said putting Honeydew on his back and walking outside. He stepped into the air outside and walked over into the grass that made up their home. “Alright. Let’s see if I did it correctly or not.”

“Either it works or you make a real bomb.” Honeydew said from Xephos’s back.

“Oh thanks for the vote of confidence.” Xephos said shaking his head.

“Would you rather me have said a creeper?” Honeydew asked.

“Dear Celestia no.” Xephos said shuddering. His horn lit up with a soft red glow as he concentrated for a moment. “Come on, come on... Just a few... More.. Seconds.”

“HEY GUYS!” Lalna shouted as he teleported in front of them startling Xephos and Honeydew.

“AAAH!” they shouted as Xephos’s horn suddenly turned white and in a bright, and rather colorful, flash they both were gone along with a small patch of dirt.

“.... Uh guys? You okay?” Lalna asked tilting his head and adjusting his lab coat. He looked around before chuckling nervously. “I think I may have messed up... Big time.”

“Simon! Did you eat all the Jaffas again!?” Lewis shouted as he walked down the hallway.

“Maybe!” Simon yelled back from behind his office door, laughing.

“Ugh! I swear you have an obsession or something.” Lewis groaned as he saw a small crumpled box of Jaffas on the ground.

“You have an obsession with ice cream!” Simon laughed.

“Oh shut up!” Lewis shouted back chuckling a little. There was a small ‘Snap!’ from behind Simon’s office door along with a large red flash of light from under the doorway. Lewis stopped at his door and gently knocked. “Um, Simon? Are you okay in there?”

“LEEEEEWWWISSSS!” Simon yelled after a few seconds. Lewis panicked for a second before grabbing the handle and nearly ripping, not really more like dramatically opening, the door.

“SIMON!... What are you yelling about?” Lewis said looking around Simon’s office.

“Them.” Simon said pointing at a red unicorn with a brown mane and tail and a small orange pony with a yellow mane and tail, piled up in the corner. Lewis stared at them for a moment before turning to Simon.

“Simon, I know you liked that mod, but did you really have to scream for me to see them? I mean they are just plushies.” Lewis deadpanned.

“They aren't mine!” Simon yelled defensively.

“Sure, just like how all this Jaffa boxes aren’t yours.” Lewis said kicking a few boxes of cookies away.

“Let me sleep more Xephos...” The orange pony muttered. Lewis just turned to Simon and deadpanned again.

“I am standing right here Simon, and why did you say my Username?” Lewis asked walking over to the pile of ponies.

“I didn't...” Simon said, watching Lewis walk over to the ponies.

“Oh sure.” Lewis said rolling his eyes and picking up the small orange pony like he was a puppy. “Very life like I will give you that.”

The orange pony opened its eyes and screamed in terror, “AAAAAHHHH!!!”

“AAAAAAAAH!!” Lewis shouted in surprise, accidently tossing the orange pony at Simon. Simon caught the pony quickly and looking at it.

“Awwwwwww! It’s cute!” He said, looking up at Lewis with a smile.

“Simon! That thing isn’t... Whatever it is! It’s not normal!” Lewis shouted backing up a bit. “I swear this is just like that stupid creeper incident!”

“You're not normal to me mate.” The orange pony said, turning to look at Lewis.

“See?! Ponies don’t talk! Much less are extremely colorful!” Lewis said.

“Buck you too then.” The pony said.

“What?!” Lewis said getting an expression of confusion, slightly insulted, and slight annoyance.

“BUCK YOU!” The pony yelled, before jumping off of Simon and over to the red pony in the corner, “Wake up Xephos! Your spell went wrong or something!” The pony said, shaking the red pony.

“Eh, just five more minutes mum.” Xephos said sleepily grabbing the orange pony and hugging him.

“Lewis?” Simon asked, looking at Lewis.

“Yeah, Simon?” Lewis asked looking at the small cluster of ponies.

“This is cute.” Simon said as the pony tried to get out of ‘Xephos’s’ grasp.

“I guess so, but we still need to figure out where these things came from!” Lewis said walking over and standing next to Simon.

“Maybe they came from the mod.” Simon suggested.

“XEPHOS WAKE UP!!” The orange pony said, yelling into the red ponies ear.

“Srnk... Wha? Honeydew? Why are you in my arms?” Xephos asked looking down at his small friend.

“You were hugging me like your teddy bear.” Honeydew said.

“Again?” Xephos whined.

“Yes again, you need to stop doing that when I try waking you up.” Honeydew grumbled.

“But you are all small and fluffy.” Xephos defended as he got up and shook himself a bit.

“Doesn’t mean I’m a teddy bear!” Honeydew yelled, “We have a problem!”

“Did we run out of cupcakes again?” Xephos asked.

“No...your spell didn't work.” Honeydew said.

“What!? Ho-.... Grrrr... LALNAAAAAA!!” Xephos shouted shaking a clenched hoof at the ceiling. That was when Duncan walked into the room and stared off for a moment.

“I am literally two offices down, you don’t need to shout.” Duncan said annoyed.

“We didn’t call for you!” Lewis said before pointing to the ponies. “They did!”

“Ya...it wasn't lewis.” Simon said quickly, looking at the two ponies.

“So then who called me? And by my minecraft name at that. Couldn’t be those two ponies in the corner.” Duncan said, looking at the two ponies staring at him.

“Honeydew?” Xephos asked.

“Yes?” Honeydew asked, looking at Xephos.

“Are we in big trouble?” Xephos asked looking down at him.

“I don't know!” Honeydew yelled.

“I don’t know either!” Xephos shouted grabbing Honeydew and clutching him like a sword. “You’ll never take me alive!”

“This isn't affective ever!” Honeydew yelled.

“WOAH! They can talk?!” Duncan said walking into the office and closing the door.

“They have been talking for a minute and now you realize?!” Simon exclaimed.

“Yeah, for a scientist, that is pretty slow.” Lewis commented.

“Oh hush up both of you.” Duncan said scowling. Xephos was still holding Honeydew out and looking between all of them.

“I have a small pony and I am not afraid to use it!” He shouted.

“Put me down!” Honeydew yelled, squirming in Xephos’s grasp.

“I am warning you! He bites!” Xephos shouted again.

“Do you like jaffas?” Simon asked, looking at the orange pony.

“Simon, they are a possible alien race and you ask ‘Do you like jaffas?’?” Lewis deadpanned. “Why not just ask them if they like bees!”

“I like jaffa’s yes, and I like bees.” The orange pony said, smiling. Xephos just stared at Honeydew for a moment before pulling him closer.

“You know we have no idea what those are right? Other than the bees.” Xephos whispered.

“I’m guessing those are the round cake things on the floor that look like the cookies we have in Equestria.” Honeydew said, pointing a hoof at one of the empty boxes with a picture of a Jaffa on it. Xephos just sighed and put Honeydew down.

“See Lewis?” Simon said smugly, looking at Lewis.

“For all we know, those are the same as a small dog for them.” Lewis deadpanned.

“Um... They are the small cake things right?” Xephos asked pointing at a box hoping Honeydew was right.

“Yes.” Simon said.

“Oh good.” Xephos said wiping the sweat from his brow. “Um... Introductions, I guess?”

“Yes, that would probably be best... Um. You first.” Lewis said nervously.

“I’m Honeydew!” Honeydew said happily.

“And I am Xephos.” Xephos said smiling. “Please to meet you... I guess.”

“Well, I am Lewis.” Lewis said smiling as well seeing them being friendly.

“That’s a weird name.” Honeydew said.

“Be nice.” Xephos scolded lightly tapping Honeydew on the head.

“Sorry.” Honeydew said.

“I’m Simon.” Simon said.

“And I am Duncan.” Duncan said smiling as well. “Um guess that is everybody.”

“Everypony.” Honeydew corrected.

“What?” Duncan asked tilting his head.

“The term is everypony.” Honeydew said.

“Um... I don’t know what you mean, but here we say ‘Everybody’ or ‘Everyone’.” Duncan said scratching his head.

“Ok...” Honeydew said confused.

“Right, well first matter of business is finding that scroll again.” Xephos said putting Honeydew on his back again.

“I think you left it in the house.” Honeydew said.

“You’re kidding.” Xephos said looking back at Honeydew.

“What?” Honeydew asked, tilting his head.

“Oh Celestia damn it.” Xephos said facehoofing. “Great, we are stuck here!”

“Maybe Lalna will find it and help sometime?” Honeydew suggested.

“Dew, knowing him, he probably burned it in an accident.” Xephos said.

“Hey! I am not that bad with my experiments.” Duncan complained.

“You kind of are sometimes.” Simon said.

“Yeah, you have blown up on several occasions.” Lewis added.

“Oh fuck you guys too then.” Duncan said crossing his arms.

“Are you worried about anypony else at home?” Honeydew asked, jumping off Xephos’s back.

“No not really. Sjin is pretty good at keeping things under control and well... That’s about it.” Xephos said shaking his head.

“What about Lomadia?” Honeydew asked.

“Oh Celestia! I forgot about her!” Xephos shouted before beginning to panic in the traditional way a pony would. He trotted in place and began to spin in circles all the while worriedly mumbling to himself. “What if she starts to freak out? What if she tries the spell!? WHAT IF-”

“Jesus Christ calm down!” Lewis said walking over and patting Xephos on the head.

“He is acting just like you would.” Simon said, smiling as he stood up from his chair.

“Oh I don’t get this worked up.” Lewis said as Xephos calmed down and was sitting on his haunches staring at Lewis’s hand.

“What is that and why did it feel good...” Xephos said poking Lewis’s hand.

“What you mean patting you on the head?” Lewis asked. Xephos nodded before Lewis patted his head again making him slightly pur. Lewis raised his eyebrow before gently scratching Xephos’s ears making his leg kick wildly.

“Ooooh... Yeeeeah...” Xephos muttered out as he was in total bliss.

“I think you made him act like a puppy Lewis.” Simon laughed.

“Hey, it feels good alright?” Xephos defended before going back to the scratching and purring. “You try having hoofs and itchy ears. It’s awful.”

“Sooo... They are dog like ponies with tattoos on their rumps?” Duncan asked.

“Don’t you remember the minecraft mod Duncan?” Simon asked.

“Oh yeah, the cutie stamps or whatever.” Duncan said nodding.

“Cutie marks!” Honeydew cut in, sitting on the floor watching Xephos getting scratched.

“Yeah those.” Duncan said, looking at the ponies cutie marks, Honeydew’s being a diamond pickaxe and Xephos’, what he could see while he was enjoying the scratching, had a projection lens that casted some sort of image. Lewis stopped scratching Xephos which made the pony whine in disappointment.

“Awwww....” Xephos complained.

“You really are like a puppy.” Honeydew said, smiling at Xephos.

“Hey! You get your ears scratched and try to act different!” Xephos defended slightly blushing in embarrassment.

“Uhhh...Lewis, what are we going to do?” Simon asked.

“That... Is actually a good question.” Lewis said looking at the ponies. “I guess they could stay here at the offices.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Simon asked.

“Would you rather take them home with us?” Lewis asked. “I mean, we usually stay late anyway, we can just keep an eye on them and put them to bed when we leave.”

“What bed is here?” Honeydew asked, looking at Lewis.

“Um, I am sure the staff room’s couch is a pull out bed. And other than that, there are plenty of foot rests and chairs to sleep in.” Lewis said scratching his head. Honeydew looked at Lewis a little longer then looked at the computer next to the chair.

“What's that?” He asked as he jumped onto the chair and looked at the computer, “Is that like a projection thing?”

“Kind of.” Duncan said walking over and leaning down. “Think of it like a projector, but it doesn’t cast an image on the wall, but on the glass screen itself.”

“What’s with this thing?” Honeydew asked, hitting the buttons on the keyboard, waking up the computer and watching as the letters appeared on the screen as he sat down and watched.

“... Simon, you broke the pony.” Duncan said looking at Simon.

“How did I break him?! I didn't do anything.” Simon said defensively.

“It’s your computer! Making it your fault.” Duncan said in a ‘Matter OF’ fact’ tone and walking away from the computer.

“That doesn't make any sense!” Simon yelled.

“Neither does Magic!” Duncan said laughing.

“Magic? Where?” Xephos said perking up and looking around the room and turning in circles.

“Your magic.” Honeydew said, still looking at the screen as the letters kept appearing.

“I know I have magic, I am talking about the weird tall thing’s magic.” Xephos said pointing at Duncan.

“We don't have magic...” Simon said, sitting at his computer chair and taking Honeydew off the keyboard and onto his lap, while Honeydew continued to stare at the bright screen.

“I do.” Xephos said smugly, smiling.

“Good for you.” Simon said, petting Honeydew’s head.

“What, you don’t believe me?” Xephos asked almost sounding hurt.

“I believe you, Duncan doesn't.” Simon said, turning his chair around to face Duncan, finally breaking Honeydew out of his staring spell.

“Well of course I don’t. Magic is impossible in the real world.” Duncan said rolling his eyes making Xephos pout.

“But I can do magic!” Xephos said.

“Aw look what you did Duncan! You made him sad!” Lewis said.

“I am sorry! I am just skeptical!” Duncan said.

“Show him Xephos!” Honeydew said, smiling as Simon started petting him again. Xephos smiled too and looked around before his horn lit up and he lifted all the boxes on the ground and tossed them into the garbage.

“See? Magic!” Xephos said smiling even wider. Lewis’s and Duncan’s jaws dropped as they saw the boxes simply float to the trash bin and fall inside.

“We told you!” Honeydew said, laughing as he jumped off Simon and sat on the floor.

“They did.” Simon said shrugging.

“B-but.... That’s not possible...” Duncan said in disbelief.

“Holy Crap...” Lewis said shaking himself out of his stupor.

“I told you I could do Magic.” Xephos said smiling as he trotted over and sat next to Simon. “Anyway... Where are we?”

“Um.. The UK... On earth?” Duncan said unsure.

“Oh! So we are in the United Knieghations?” Xephos asked. “But did you say earth?... Don’t you mean Equus?”

“No.” Simon said.

“Then that means... Oh Luna, Buck me...” Xephos said slumping to the ground and covering his eyes with his hooves. “Then me and Honeydew really ARE stuck here.”

“And it’s all Lalna’s fault.” Honeydew stated.

“I didn’t even do anything!” Duncan shouted. “And you didn’t even know me until seconds ago!”

“Not you!” Honeydew yelled, looking at Duncan.

“Oh... Sorry.” Duncan said sheepishly. Xephos sighed and took his hooves off his eyes before fidgeting with the carpet in a depressed manner.

“This sucks...” He mumbled out sadly.

“I think this is cool, but how did a simulator send us here?” Honeydew asked.

“I don’t know. Usually when I get startled, I just teleport. I guess I was so focused on making another world with the sim, that when I got scared, I made us teleport to another world.” Xephos shrugged.

“Am I going to have to scare you to bring us back?” Honeydew asked.

“That’s not how it works. I have to know where home is, and from where we are right now? That is nearly impossible.” Xephos sighed out.

“I wouldn’t know how magic works, I’m an earth pony who digs holes!” Honeydew shouted as his stomach growled, “I am also hungry...” he said, walking over to a box of jaffa’s and putting his yellow maned head into it to look for a Jaffa.

“What was that about digging holes?” Lewis asked.

“I dig holes, its my special talent and stuff.” Honeydew said in the Jaffabox. Duncan leaned down to Simon and whispered.

“Is it just me? Or is that adorable?” Duncan chuckled out.

“Its adorable.” Simon whispered back.

“Dew, get out of that box.” Xephos said annoyed as he looked at his small companion. Honeydew took his head out of the box and looked at Xephos.

“What's wrong?” He asked.

“Everything, Honeydew!” Xephos shouted standing up. “We are in a new world, one that has weird boxes that can do what I do just fine, if not better! These weird things walking around! No offense. And if that’s not bad enough, WE HAVE NO WAY HOME! THAT’S WHAT’S WRONG!”

“YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL!” Honeydew yelled.

“I DO HAVE TO YELL TO GET THIS THROUGH THAT THICK SKULL OF YOURS!” Xephos shouted again. Honeydew growled and ran at Xephos with his head low.

“Woah woah woah, let’s just calm down here.” Duncan said picking up Honeydew by the scruff of his neck before a fight would tear their offices apart. “We will try to figure out how to get you home, okay?”

Xephos just narrowed his eyes before sighing in defeat and slumping to the floor again. “Yeah... Okay.”

“Ok.” Honeydew said.

“Good, now can I put you down and not have you two start a war in our business?” Duncan said looking at Honeydew.

“Yes.” Honeydew said. Duncan smiled and put Honeydew down before standing back up and looking around.

“So what now?” Lewis asked looking between the ponies and his friends.

“Find a way to bring them to our house without anyone noticing.” Simon suggested.

“I do have a duffel bag.” Duncan said putting a hand on his chin.

“I guess that would work, although I have no idea where they are going to sleep.” Lewis said scratching his chin.

“In a bed.” Simon said obviously.

“Right right.” Lewis said facepalming. “Okay, I guess they are coming home with us. But we still need to figure out how to get them out of here without them noticing.”

“Who is them?” Honeydew asked, looking up at Lewis.

“Other people?” Lewis deadpanned. “Not to mention our other co-workers and friends.”

“Ok.” Honeydew said, smiling brightly.

“We could say they are colorful puppies.” Simon suggested.

“With a horn?” Duncan asked. “And ass tattoos?”

“Cutie marks.” Xephos corrected.

“I have seen disfigured dogs before, a disfigured dog could be believed to have a bump on their heads.” Simon said shrugging.

“That is a foot off their head?” Lewis asked tapping the tip of Xephos’s horn. Xephos shooed his hand away while Lewis rolled his eyes.

“Yes.” Simon said smiling.

“Fine, whatever, but if we end up getting taken to prison while they get experimented on, it’s your fault.” Lewis said rubbing his head.

“Go to prison for what?” Honeydew asked, confused.

“Well, you are an alien species and let’s just say our government wouldn’t be very happy about us hiding you from them.” Lewis said nervously chuckling.

“Ok...” Honeydew said as a smell wafted through the closed doorway and his ears pointed towards them. Xephos looked at Honeydew before narrowing his eyes.

“Don’t you dare try running for that.” Xephos said sternly.

“But I’m hungry and these boxes have nothing!” Honeydew complained.

“I am hungry too, but we don’t need to go running after the nearest thing that smells good.” Xephos said using his magic to put Honeydew right next to him. “Now sit still.”

“Fine.” Honeydew said, frowning as his ears went back on his head.

“Well if you guys wanted something to eat, why didn’t you just say so?” Duncan asked.

“I put my head into a box.” Honeydew said simply.

“I thought you were just trying to be adorable.” Duncan said shrugging.

“Why would I do that? Is it because I’m small and it’s funny?” Honeydew asked angrily.

“Well no not really. It’s just the fact that you don’t see a pony in a box very often.” Duncan said defensively.

“He does have a point Honeydew. Calm down, you usually don’t care about being called small.” Xephos said tilting his head at his friend.

“From ponies I know.” Honeydew pointed out.

“Yeah, so how is being called small by these gigantic guys any different?” Xephos asked. “Even I am smaller than them.”

“We barely know them.” Honeydew said, shrugging.

“You confuse me.” Xephos said putting a hoof on his temple and rubbing his head.

“I confuse myself.” Honeydew said smiling.

“I know.” Xephos said sighing. Duncan rolled his eyes before leaving the room and coming back with two cups of milk and a plate of Jaffa cakes, since Simon practically stocked the pantry with the boxes of them.

“Well here you go. Something to actually eat that isn’t a misleading empty box.” Duncan snickered as he put the plate down along with the cups of milk.

“Duncan... Did you really have to get them cups? I mean they have hooves.” Lewis deadpanned and looking at Duncan with a ‘Are you kidding me?’ expression.

“What do you think we use to drink?” Honeydew asked, before picking up the cup with his hoof and drinking from it before putting it down and smiling at Lewis with a milk mustache on his lip. Lewis blinked before sighing and rubbing the bridge of his nose.

“Oh right, ponies from an alien world. Don’t abide by the same rules.” Lewis muttered out as Xephos just chuckled and picked up a Jaffa with his magic and nibbled on it. Xephos and Honeydew finished their food after a few minutes.

“So what did you two do where you are from? Like what did you do for a living?” Duncan asked sitting in another chair.

“We played games.” Honeydew said absentmindedly.

“Really? And that’s it?” Duncan asked.

“Well, ‘Played games’ is a term we use loosely. We made simulations and did stuff in them while other ponies watched. Was pretty fun and we earned quite a few bits doing it.” Xephos said smiling.

“Our friends also joined in and we made a sort of series with a storyline.” Honeydew added, smiling.

“Not to mention we occasionally just fooled around and pranked each other.” Xephos said snickering.

“You always using up most of the torches while in the middle of the simulation.” Honeydew said.

“Hey! I don’t like the dark!” Xephos said poking Honeydew in the side.

“You don’t have to put three torches together on the ground!” Honeydew said laughing.

“Oh hush up.” Xephos said playfully shoving Honeydew. Honeydew laughed and looked back at the humans.

“We also have a few thousand fans who named themselves something close to our name.” Honeydew said.

“That sounds.... Freakishly similar to what we do.” Lewis said looking to Simon with a serious expression.

“It does.” Simon said, nodding.

“I think you mean Yognaughts Honeydew.” Xephos chuckled out.

“Yes, I meant that.” Honeydew nodded, “What do you guys do?” He asked, looking at the Lewis.

“Okay now that is just scary.” Duncan mumbled.

“We uh... Practically do the same thing. Only we record our shows and post them on this thing called Youtube.” Lewis said chuckling.

“Huh, that’s pretty cool... We usually just record the stuff onto a projector’s film then give it away to those who come to our live actions.” Xephos said scratching his head. “Projectors are pretty common back home.”

“Ya, and ponies outside Sirrup can get them so they can watch as well.” Honeydew said smiling.

“Pretty nice deal if I say so.” Xephos said happily.

“That does sound good, should we get the bag to bring them home now?” Simon asked.

“Sure, just gimme a minute, I have to go get it from my office.” Duncan said leaving the room.

“So...who else are your friends?” Simon asked, looking at the two ponies.

“Well... There is Lalna, he is one of our closer friends. Then there is my marefriend Lomadia. Sjin and Sips are two of our friends. There is also. Littlewood, Rythian, and Zoey.” Xephos said smiling before frowning and sighing sadly. “We... Used to have a couple of friends that were twins, but they... They died.” Xephos lowered his head and sighed. “Their names where Knight Peculiar and Old Peculiar since one looked older than the other. Plus he ran an old shop in this quaint little town before we met him and his brother.” Honeydew looked at Xephos and walked over to him, before nuzzling him to comfort him.

“Oh... Sorry about that then.” Lewis said sympathetically, before looking at Simon with a meaningful expression, which he returned.

“It’s ok, they died saving us.” Honeydew said sadly as he stopped nuzzling Xephos.

“Yeah I know, but why in Equestria would you not finish a rail track in a mining facility? That’s just silly!” Xephos said throwing his hooves in the air.

“Probably not enough bits or they didn't care.” Honeydew sighed. Duncan came back with a large duffel bag with the (Human version) Yogscast logo on it.

“Alright, I am going to need you two to hop into this.” Duncan said unzipping it and setting it on the ground. Honeydew shrugged and walked over to it before jumping into it and sitting down. Xephos looked skeptical for a moment before sighing and walking over. He looked inside and snorted for a moment before picking Honeydew up and getting inside and placing Honeydew on his belly.

“There. Now we can fit.” He said nodding in confirmation.

“Sooo... Do we just zip it up or what?” Simon asked scratching his beard.

“Well yeah. But the question is how are they going to breath?” Duncan asked as he looked down at the ponies laying in the bag.

“Zip it up halfway.” Lewis suggested.

“That could work, but someone is going to have to walk along the side so no one peeks in. Don’t want questions about why we are carrying around life sized ponies in a duffel bag.” Duncan said zipping the bag up enough so they could breath and they were mostly concealed.”

“I thought they were plushies when I first saw them.” Lewis said shrugging.

“Well to be fair, they were asleep.” Simon said.

“Yes, they were...” Lewis said.

“Just pick somepony who is the strongest!” Honeydew’s muffled voice said from inside the duffel bag.

“Quit kicking me.” Xephos said moving a bit.

“Sorry.” Honeydew said.

“It’s fine.” Xephos said sighing as Duncan rolled his eyes and with a small heave he pulled the bag up and put the strap around his neck.

“Jeez, you two are... Actually not as heavy as I thought.” He said shifting the bag.

“We wouldn't be.” Honeydew muttered.

“Oh Duncan, no need to be insulting.” Simon said.

“Whoops, sorry, didn’t mean it like that.” Duncan said sheepishly.

“It’s alright, Honeydew does need to lay off the cupcakes.” Xephos chuckled out.

“OI! You are the one that’s bigger than me.” Honeydew said.

“Yeah, but I didn’t consume a box of cupcakes everyday back home.” Xephos said snickering.

“Digging holes is hard, makes you hungry.” Honeydew said, moving a little in the bag.

“This is my kind of pony!” Simon said laughing.

“Lets just go to the car.” Lewis said, rubbing the bridge of his nose before walking out of the room.

“What’s a car?” Xephos asked as Duncan laughed as well and walked out of the office and headed down to the parking lot.

______________________________________________________________________________

Soon the trio was on their way to Lewis’s residence while the ponies sat in the back seat of the car with Duncan. The ponies were allowed out of the bag, to stretch and such, while they drove down the roads. While Duncan was busy dealing with the ponies, Simon and Lewis were discussing very peculiar (Teehee) things about the ponies.

“Sooo... Is it just me, or do these ponies act rather familiar?” Simon asked looking at Lewis.

“It’s not just you, they do the same things we do and have the same name for their fans as we do, and it doesn’t make sense to me.” Lewis said, watching the road.

“Well, that could all be coincidence, I am just worried about how we are going to handle duplicates of ourselves as ponies.” Simon said looking back to see Honeydew climbing on Duncan, slightly shouting the entire time, making him chuckle. “That is going to be a bit of a handful.”

“Don't you watch that show with Hannah when its on? They shouldn’t be real at all.” Lewis said.

“Hey, it was a good show!” Simon defended. “Not to mention those ponies are adorable.”

“I’m not saying it wasn't good, I'm saying that we shouldn't have pony duplicates and they shouldn't be real at all.” Lewis replied.

“Well... Ever heard of that Multiverse theory?” Simon asked raising a eyebrow. “It says that there are more dimensions that ours.”

“A universe based on a TV show isn’t possible Simon.” Lewis said, looking at Simon before quickly looking back at the road.

“But how do you know?” Simon retorted. “For all we know, Mass Effect is real somewhere out there! The reapers could be invading!”

“Would you like slender man to be real?” Lewis asked.

“Oh god no, but that doesn’t sate the fact that there are two living, breathing, My little Ponies sitting in the backseat of your car.” Simon said shuddering at the thought of a real life Slender.

“No it doesn’t.” Lewis agreed.

“I guess we should just try to get them home I guess? Although I am worried about one thing.” Simon said leaning back in his seat.

“That they will see the show?” Lewis asked.

“That, and Hannah.” Simon said putting a hand on his chin. “She loves adorable things more than me, and that is saying something. Imagine how she is going to react when she sees something adorable from a show she likes.”

“We will have to not let her see them than.” Lewis said shrugging.

“Keep two living, breathing, rowdy, and hilariously clumsy ponies out of her sight.” Simon deadpanned. “That is a brilliant plan, why don’t we just dump a bucket of lava in a wood house while we are at it.”

“Fine, if she does see them, then we will say they are plushies that our fans made, really realistic ones.” Lewis said, paying attention to the road.

“That you got.” Simon said deadpanning again.

“Yes.” Lewis said, “We also can't tell them about the show.”

“Alright, I guess that will work until we can figure something else out.” Simon said leaning back.

“Someone please help me!” Duncan laughed/pleaded from the back seat. “They are crawling on me like ants!”

“We are crawling on you like ponies!” Honeydew said laughing as he jumped off Duncan and onto the seat.

“Well stop it! It feels weird with your strangely soft hooves!” Duncan chuckled. Honeydew looked confused and looked at his hooves before shrugging.

“Well why wouldn’t they feel soft? Ponies couldn’t get massages if they weren’t.” Xephos said shrugging as well.

“Ponies here don't have soft hooves.” Lewis said while he watched the road.

“Now that is weird.” Xephos said.

“Ya.” Honeydew agreed as he appeared next to Simon.

“OH GOD!” Simon shouted as he clutched his heart and nearly smacked Honeydew. He panted for a moment before gently bopping his nose. “Don’t do that!”

“Do what?” Honeydew asked confused.

“Scare me!” Simon said picking up Honeydew. “I mean look at you! You’re terrifying! With your hooves and ears and things!”

“What?” Honeydew asked confused as he tilted his head.

“Just try not to scare me again please.” Simon sighed out, putting Honeydew in his lap and leaning back in the car’s seat again. Xephos just chuckled at his little friend’s antics before looking at Duncan.

“Soooo.... Don’t have magic here huh?” He asked. Duncan shook his head.

“We have people who do a form of magic, but it’s really just the trick of the hand. Like, making a coin disappear or something like that.” Duncan said smiling.

“Oh... So no actual magic? Like making a rope become alive, or turning a apple into a orange?” Xephos asked making Duncan shake his head.

“Best thing we have to that is people who can train snakes to dance when they play a pipe or those optical illusions.” Duncan said.

“Huh. That sucks.” Xephos commented.

“I don’t see how you can do anything with snakes.” Honeydew said, looking back at Duncan.

“What do you mean?” Duncan asked. “It’s just a serpent moving to the rhythm of a pipe.”

“Well, ponies don’t exactly... Like snakes.” Xephos said shifting a little. “They terrify some ponies while some don’t mind as much.”

“Ooooh. Same thing here, but not a lot of people are deathly afraid of them.” Duncan said making Xephos nod.

“You still haven't told us how these things move.” Honeydew said, jumping over to the back seat and sitting down.

“Um, a combination of gas, electricity and a lot of engineering.” Duncan said chuckling. “Just think of it like a self pulling cart or sled.”

“A self pulling pony carriage?” Honeydew asked.

“Yeah sure.” Duncan said shrugging.

“Here we are, my house.” Lewis said as he stopped the car in the driveway.

“Hurray!” Simon said clapping his hands. “We still need to worry about Hannah.”

“I know, if Hannah sees you two can you act like plushies?” Lewis asked, looking at the ponies.

“Well I know Honeydew does that pretty well.” Xephos said snickering.

“No I don't.” Honeydew said.

“Says the pony that gets used as a plushie all the time back home.” Xephos said laughing.

“How do I get used as a plushie?” Honeydew asked confused.

“Lalna used to do it, I did it a few minutes ago, Sjin sometimes does it. I know Lomadia does it all the time.” Xephos said now in full blown laughter. “That is also how we found out how much of a heavy sleeper you are!”

“Thanks.” Honeydew said frowning.

“Oh come on, like being cuddled at night is such a bad thing.” Xephos said rolling his eyes and smiling widely.

“It is when you can't get out of your grip!” Honeydew said.

“Okay okay, I will tell Lomadia not to do it anymore whenever we get back okay?” Xephos said shaking his head.

“Ok.” Honeydew said.

“Alright, sooo... Just go limp and don’t say anything?” Xephos asked looking at the humans.

“Yes, thats the idea.” Lewis said nodding as he opened his door and got out along with Simon.

“Oookay... Sooo.” Xephos just walked over and flopped down onto the seat limp. “Doesn’t seem so hard.”

“It wouldn’t be hard.” Honeydew said. Duncan rolled his eyes and opened the car door before getting out and picking up the two ponies, Honeydew in his left arm like a puppy and Xephos over his shoulder like a rucksack.

“Okay, now it’s a bit difficult.” Xephos grunted.

“Ha!” Honeydew laughed.

“Just wait till Hannah sees you Honeydew.” Duncan chuckled.

“Why?” Honeydew asked as they got inside the house.

“Hannah, we are home!” Lewis yelled. Duncan just handed Honeydew to Lewis before holding Xephos like a big dog.

“Oh Celestia that is better.” Xephos whispered. A blond girl walked into the room and out of the kitchen before she smiled.

“Hi.” She said before noticing the limp Honeydew and Xephos in Duncan and Lewis’s arms.

“Incoming enemy d’aws.” Duncan whispered to Lewis.

“Where did you get those cute plushies?” Hannah asked as she took Honeydew from Lewis.

“Yognaughts sent them.” Lewis said as he watched her hold Honeydew.

“They're so cute! But he didn’t give him his hat.” Hannah said as she squeezed Honeydew in a hug, making him neigh silently and Xephos chuckle quietly.

“They said in the... Letter, that they didn’t have enough time to finish the hat.” Duncan said smiling.

“Oh, we still have the hat that Simon wore once.” Hannah said as she held Honeydew by the tail making him squeal quietly and his eyes start to water a little as she walked towards a room.

“Should we help him?” Simon asked snickering.

“Would you like to be held by your tail?” Lewis asked as Hannah came back with Honeydew and a felt hat in her hand before putting him down and putting the hat on his head.

“Well he does look like a dwarf pony now.” Duncan chuckled.

“They got your cutie mark wrong as well, I can sew a new one on it.” Hannah said as she left Honeydew lying on the floor and walked over to Xephos.

“Wait!” Simon shouted. “Ahem... I heh heh, Mean it’s not that big of a deal is it?”

“Not really, but I thought you wanted them to be accurate.” Hannah said shrugging.

“Well I think it’s a nice gesture that they gave them to us anyway, why not leave them the way they are? Would be a bit rude to stitch something else on.” Duncan said trying not to sound nervous or anything as Xephos tried his best not to tense up or panic.

“You’re right, I guess it doesn't need to be accurate.” Hannah said shrugging.

“Besides!” Simon began before picking Honeydew off the floor. “They are soft and furry! What more do you need?”

“Nothing I guess.” Hannah said. Simon put the hatted Honeydew back into her arms and smiled.

“Good, now enjoy his fuzziness while we find a nice place to put them.” Simon said.

“Alright.” Hannah said as she started to walk away, while Honeydew gave Simon a dirty look as he was taken away. Simon just chuckled and waved goodbye.

“Alright where are we going to put them?” Duncan asked looking to Lewis as Xephos relaxed.

“Anywhere but with Hannah by the look Honeydew gave Simon.” Lewis said.

“Well would you want to be cuddled to death by an alien species?” Duncan asked.

“Depends.” Lewis said.

“On?” Simon asked as Duncan put Xephos down to stretch a bit.

“On if they didn't think I was a plushie.” Lewis said.

“I see. But about the ponies. Are we ever going to tell her about them being real, or let her snuggle them to death?” Simon asked.

“That sounds terrifying.” Xephos commented.

“She won't snuggle them to death.” Lewis said.

“She’s doing it to Honeydew right now.” Duncan said chuckling.

“No I’m sure she isn't.” Lewis said.

“I would still be cautious until we tell her. IF we tell her.” Duncan said.

“Ok, I know, we will tell her later though.” Lewis said.

“I hope we do. I don’t want to see her freak out when one of them speaks.” Simon said.

“She won’t.” Lewis said as Hannah came back with Honeydew still wearing the hat as well as a few blue bows in his mane, and Xephos sighed before going limp again on the floor.

“Yeah she will dress them up and make them want to jump off a building.” Duncan said holding back laughter.

“Have you figured out where you’re going to put these?” Hannah asked as she gave Honeydew back to Lewis.

“We are going to leave them on the couch.” Lewis said thinking quickly. With that Duncan picked up Xephos and tossed him onto the couch making him bounce twice.

“Good a place as any I guess.” Hannah said shrugging as she walked back to her room. Duncan, Lewis, Honeydew, and Simon all let out a collective sigh as they relaxed and Xephos just layed on the couch.

“I hate you all.” Honeydew said as he jumped out of Lewis’s hands and used his back hoof to scratch the bows out of his mane.

“Oh it couldn’t have been that bad.” Duncan said.

“She pulled my tail again and almost ripped my mane out while trying to put on the bows, she is insane!” Honeydew yelled.

“Oi keep your voice down!” Simon said looking to Hannah’s room. “We will try to keep you out of sight, but until then you are just going to have to power through this.”

“I will.” Honeydew said, before walking over to the couch and jumping on it, before lying down and snorting.

“This is going to be a long stay.” Xephos said sighing as he closed his eyes.

“Yep.” Honeydew agreed as he closed his eyes as well.

“Well I have to head home guys, see ya later.” Duncan said walking outside before realizing something. “Uh guys, I am going to need a ride home.” Lewis rolled his eyes and walked with Duncan to the car before driving him home and coming back a few minutes later. Simon was just sitting down on the couch while petting Xephos and scratching Honeydew’s ears.

“What? I got bored.” Simon said shrugging.

“Nothing, its been a long day, lets just let them sleep and do the same.” Lewis advised, before walking to his room. Simon shrugged and got up before heading to his room for the night.
