My Little Friendship Confusion Is Magic

"Hey Jared wait up!", Janson yelled nearing the orange stallion.

Jared slowed down so they could catch up. Eventually, Tristen and Janson caught up with Jared.

They walked in silence, trying to figure out where they were and how they got there on there own. Once they neared they source of the smoke, they all heard a low growl all around them.

Jared halted and quickly looked around. They all turned to see several pairs of eyes staring at them from deeper in the forest.

"Run?", Tristen asked.

"Yes, run.", Jared answered meekly.

They all took off in a sprint towards the source of the smoke. They heard the creatures growling behind them. After awhile, they couldn't hear the growls anymore.

"Did we lose them?", Jared panted.

"Don't care, keep running!", Janson panted back.

"We're near the edge of the forest anyway." , Tristen said, "So, I agree with Janson, keep running."

They reached the edge within seconds.

"FREEDOM!", they yelled as they burst through the forest, right into three little horses.

Everyone collapsed to the ground.

"Pardon my French, but why the hell does stuff keep happening to us!", Janson groaned getting up.

"Oww, that hurt, said one of the little horses.

"Oh god, I'm sorry.", Jared said, rushing over to the little pony,"Are you ok?"

He looked down to see a tan pony with a red mane with a ribbon in her hair.

"Yeah I'll be fine." Said the tan pony getting up.

She shook her head and looked up at the orange unicorn.

"Hey, ah haven't seen you ponies around here before." Said the tan pony.

"You...ponies?",Janson asked scratching his head.

"Well, we aren't from around here.", Jared said, interrupting Janson.

The tan pony went over to the other two ponies. One was a white unicorn and had a light purple mane. The other was an orange Pegasus. Jared pulled Janson and Tristen into a huddle.

"Until we know where we are or what's going on, lets not let them on that we're not from...wherever this is.", he said looking around.

The two stallions nodded. The little ponies walked over to them.

"Well my name is Applebloom, this Sweetybell, and this is Scootaloo.", said the tan pony pointing at her friends.

"We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!", they all said in unison.

They shoved their flanks together and stuck them up in the air. Tristen stifled a laugh.

"What's a cutie mark?", Tristen barely asked.

The three little horses stared at them in disbelief. "It's the mark on your flank silly.", Scootaloo said.

The three friends turned to look at they're rear. Blank. They didn't have any marks just like the three little ponies. They swung back around at the young ponies.

"We don't have any marks.",Jared said.

The cutie mark crusaders looked at the three new stallions' flank and saw that they didn't have a mark.

"You mean you guys haven't gotten your marks yet?", Sweetybell asked curiously.

"We just found out what they were, soooo, no. We haven't got our marks.", Janson said.

"No offense, but we really don't care right now.", Tristen stated,"We're sorta lost you see we-."

"Well why didn't you say so, we can help.", Applebloom said, "Can't we."

The other two crusaders nodded in agreement. "I know, we can take'm to my sister Applejack."

"More names with apples?", Tristen asked.

"Yeah, my family runs the orchard farm here in Ponyville.", Applebloom said.

"Ponyville?",Jared asked.

"Yeah, that's where you are.", Scootaloo laughed.

"What is it with this place and ponies.", whispered Janson to the other two.

"Come on. Lets go see my sis!",Applebloom said.

She and the other Crusaders took off towards the farm.

"When will we get some answers!", Jared asked.

"We better not keep them waiting.", Janson said walking after the Crusaders.

"Wait for us!", Tristen said chasing Janson.

The six ponies walked on the edge of town. "Maybe before you leave, we can show you guys around." Sweetybell said eagerly.

They turned a corner and found two more young ponies. One had on glasses while the other had a tiara on her head.

"Oh look at the blank flanks.", mocked the one wearing a tiara.

"Leave us alone, Diamond tiara.", Scootaloo said sternly.

"Or what? You going to have your friends beat us up.", said the one with glasses.

Jared pushed aside the little fillies.

"Why, yes. They are.", he said cracking his neck.

The two fillies stared at the approaching unicorn. They turned and ran as fast as they could. Jared chuckled and walked back. The crusaders' mouths were open, gasping.

"Can we hurry up, please?", Jared asked calmly. Applebloom nodded, mouth still open. They walked slowly towards the farm.

"Nice.", Tristen said, hoof bumping Jared.
