The Rain and Rose

Chapter 2

Previous Chapter

It was a normal day. Get up. Get dressed. Eat breakfast. Go to school. Homework. Go to Rain's to watch MLP and other shows. Nothing out of the ordinary. Well, until...

"Don't go near it, Autumn!" I call to my best friend as she neared the glowing orb the had appeared before us. We both recognized it as a portal. It was a bluish-purple color, swirling like a galaxy. She lifted up her hand and touched the liquid-like structure of it. She seemed to stop before pushing her hand completely through the spectrum. She pulled away quickly. Stepping back she took my hand and pulled me to the side. I gasped as there portal began to glow a faint silver which grew immense in seconds. Faint screaming could be heard from it. It grew louder as three young adults- maybe teenagers-fell through the portal. They landed in a heap in front of us.

"What in Tartarus ," one of them said. Male by his voice.

"Oww." another who was definitely female grumbled.

The third just growled a bit, before saying "You both are right." The three untangled from the pile and stood. The portal had vanished.

We stood there astounded. They were all normal, but something, something was off.

"Hello~and who are you?" Said the first stepping towards Autumn. I stepped in front feeling brave. The third thunked the first on the head. I pushed Autumn back a couple steps.

"Sorry about that, he, he...never mind." he stepped forward putting his dark hand out. It was slightly gray. Though I was confused I slowly put my hand out. He looked at me with kind, golden eyes. White hair crossed over his left eye.

"I'm Forth Star." He said.

"I'm...I'm Rose." I sputtered out. Autumn stepped forward and pushed me aside with little force.

"I'm Rain," She said as she put out her hand grabbing his. The other two had come up behind him. "Now, who the hell are you three and why are you in my bedroom?"

The first one stepped forward as I looked at them. They were wearing comically gold amour and looked so familiar. The female and the other male were pastey-white with blue hair. Both had the same golden eyes as Forth Star.

"I'm Cornucopia. Call me Pia." Said the male as he winked. "This is Melly," He said nodding to the girl as she rolled her eyes at his nonsense. "and you've met Forth Star."

Rain nodded. "Yes, yes okay. But that doesn't explain who you are... Why are you here?"

Pia pulled a scroll from a satchel suddenly humble, remembering his mission. "To give you this and pray to Celestia you'll help."

Both mine and Rain's eyes widened and she snatched the scroll from him. She quickly pulled the familiar seal off of it and opened it. We both read through it quickly, me over her shoulder, and again. This was impossible. A fictional place with fictional characters needed our help in defeating... What? A strange force? Called... Sardonic? We looked up to Pia, Melly, and Fourth Star.

"How...?" I began. "How can you be here? You aren't real..." Suddenly they wavered as if a hologram. They stabilized.

"We are real, I assure you. But not for long if the force is able to live." Forth Star said. "You see... All realms are in danger... Because of disbelief." The other two nodded. Rain and I looked at each other. Then back at the group of impossible peop-ponies?
