The Six Lights

“What? What!? You two just barged through on a Timberwolf no less! And all you say is what!?” Twilight said, her eye twitching a bit. Tom was also trying to calculate what happened.

“Well, it was different. But we still found each other didn’t we?” Andrew said. Applejack had to nod.

“ah agree. It was kinda like the rodeo, but with a different critter.” Applejack said.

“Well, weren’t you two at least a bit concerned at what would happen to you? And how much dirt and muck would get on your clothes, or fur I guess for you.” Sean asked. Both Applejack and Andrew pondered on it for a while before both replying simultaneously.

“Nah!” this caused Twilight, Tom, Rarity and Sean to all groan.

“Well anyway. You all probably know our names, and some of us know yours, but can you tell the rest of us?” Twilight asked.

“I’m Ray, fastest around back home.” He said.

“Andrew, nice to meet you all.”

“Sean, charmed to know you.”

“I’m Patrick! But you can call me Pat!”

“Oh…I’m…F-Finn.”

“And I’m Tom. You could call me the bookworm of our group.”

“Well great to know you. But how did you get here?” Twilight asked.

Before Tom could reply, Pinkie spoke up.

“Hold up! Wouldn’t it be better to talk in the library then the Everfree?” she said, the humans and ponies all talked and agreed on her idea.

“Alright, let’s go into town.”

“But wouldn’t a town filled with ponies panic looking at us?” Tom asked.

“Don’t worry; they’ll just give you some odd stars. The town learned their lesson after the Zecora incident.”

“Who?” Ray asked.

“We’ll tell you later. C’mon.” Twilight said, the rest followed except Ray and Rainbow Dash.

“Say that song was Daring Do. And I won’t drag you all the way to the library.” She said, trying to make him admit defeat.

“NEVER!” he said, Dash just grinned and dragged him along as she caught up to the group.

The group of six ponies and six humans walked through the town, the humans getting weird stars as Twilight predicted. They soon arrived in front of a giant tree with balconies, windows and a door.

“What’s this?” Sean asked

“It’s the library.” Twilight said.

“Why is it made out of a tree?” Ray asked.

“I don’t know, that’s how it was when I got here.” Twilight said, opening the door, letting the group follow.

As they entered, they say tons of shelves filled with books, a table in the middle, a door that lead to the basement, an opening that shows the kitchen and dining area. And some stairs that lead to a door and the top room, which was probably where the beds where.

“Welcome to the Golden Oaks library.” Twilight said, Tom looked at it in wonder.

“You live here?” Tom asked.

“Yep.”

“Oh I envy you.” Tom said, this caused Twilight’s cheeks to turn a little rosy.

“Well, you can stay here for the meantime.” Twilight said.

“Really? I don’t want to bother you.”

“Oh it’s no trouble at all.” Twilight said.

“Um...w-where are we going to stay?” Finn asked, the other humans nodded.

“Well, ah guess Andrew here can stay with me. We could use some help over at the farm.” Applejack said.

“Thanks Applejack.” Andrew said.

“Well I wouldn’t mind letting Sean here stay with me. If he is willing to help me at the boutique.” Rarity said, Sean got on one knee, grabbed Rarity’s hoof and kissed it.

“It would be an honour to help a lady like you.” He said, causing Rarity to giggle. Good thing Spike isn’t around to see this, he’d loss it.

“Well I can get Pat here a job and a place to stay At Sugarcube corner. I’m sure Mr and Mrs. Cake wouldn’t mind!” Pinkie said.

“Alright, thanks Pinkie!” he said giving her a hug, she hugged back.

“Um…you could stay with m-me…if that’s okay with you.” Fluttershy said.

“t-thank you.” Finn said rubbing his arm and looking away shyly.

“Well, sorry Ray. But even if you do admit that was Daring Do, you can’t stay with me. My house is made of clouds and I doubt you can stand on them.” Rainbow said

“Actually, I could place a Cloud walking spell on him.” Twilight said.

“But doesn’t that only last for a while? I don’t think Ray would like to find himself falling after he takes a nap.” Rainbow said.

“Yeah, I wouldn’t like that one bit!” Ray said, panicking a bit.

“Well I’ve studied that spell and I’ve found a way to make it permanent.”

“Spell? What are you talking about?” Tom asked.

“You’ll see.” Twilight said as her horn glowed a purple aura, soon Ray’s shoes and legs glowed a purple aura before a flash happened. And everything seemed to be the same.

“What was that?” Tom asked.

“I just used my magic. Now Ray can walk on clouds.” Twilight replied.

“Magic?” Tom asked.

“Yeah. Why do you seem surprised?” she asked.

“Because back where we’re from. Magic doesn’t exist.” Andrew said.

“What!? How would your world not have magic!? What do you have instead?” Twilight asked shocked.

“We have very good technology.” Tom said.

“Please everyone. Let us sit down and discuss this in a civil manner.” Sean said.

Everyone agreed as they all sit down, after convincing Rainbow dash to let go of Ray.

“Alright, first of all. How did you guys get here?” Twilight asked. Tom reached into his pocket and pulled out a key.

“This key has been in my family for generations. I was always curious as to what this did. So I carried it with me wherever I went. Later on our camping trip, we came across some sort of door. I tried the key and surprisingly it opened.” Tom explained.

“Then we found some weird objects. All with our last names on it.” Andrew said.

“Yeah, it looked like about a couple of hundred year old. Very old technology to our modern technology.” Tom said.

“Really? What kinds of technology do you guys have?” Twilight asked.

“Well, we have phones, computers, planes, cars. And a whole lot of other inventions.” Tom said, going over what the inventions did and how they worked.

“Amazing.” Twilight said soon daydreaming, thinking about all the possibilities.

“Anyway, so do you have ponies in your universe?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yes, but they don’t talk, and the only Pegasus and Unicorns are in myths and legends.” Andrew said.

“Really, that sucks.” Rainbow said.

“Anyway. What is this world like? And what’s it called.” Tom asked, snapping Twilight out of her trance.

“Oh, well this place your in right know is called Equestria.” She said.

“Equestria?” Tom asked.

“Eeyup, ruled by Princess Celestia and Luna.” Applejack said.

“Who are they?” Andrew asked.

But before Twilight could reply, a purple baby dragon with green spikes and green underbelly ran through the door holding a scroll.

“Twilight! It’s a message from the princess.” He then noticed the six humans.

“Am I missing something?” Spike asked.

“Oh sorry. Guys, this is my number one assistant. Spike the dragon.” Twilight said walking over and grabbing the scroll off of the drake.

“There are dragons here to?” Tom asked.

“Yep, and I’m one of the toughest.” Spike said.

“everypony…” Twilight said a bit scared.

“What is it Twilight?” Tom asked.

“Princess Celestia wants to see us…and you six as well.”

“What!?” the six humans asked.

“She wants to see them right now?” Rarity asked.

“No, she said she want to meet us tomorrow.”

“Oh, whew…” Pat said, wiping his forehead.

“Um…what time is it?” Finn asked, Twilight looked at the sky to see the sun slowly setting.

“Wow! I hadn’t noticed the time.” She said.

“Well, ah guess it’s time we all get some sleep for tomorrow.” Applejack said getting up from her chair, every pony and human nodded in agreement.

“Come on Pat! Let’s go!” Pinkie said.

“Sure!” Pat said, as he and Pinkie rushed out.

“After you lady Rarity.” Sean said, Rarity walked through the door giggling.

“Such a gentlecolt.” Rarity said as Sean followed him.

“What just happened?” Spike asked dumbfounded.

“Alright Ray, you can tell me why you were singing the Daring Do theme once we get to my place.” Rainbow said putting both her hooves under his shoulders.

“For the last time. It’s Indiana J-AAAAAHHHHHHH!” Ray couldn’t finish as he was carried out and started to fly with Rainbow carrying him.

“C’mon Andrew, ah’ll race ya to tha farm.” Applejack said getting ready to run.

“You’re on” he said as the two ran out of the library.

“W-We can go when you like Finn…if that’s aright with you.” Fluttershy said.

“Sure.” Finn said as the two left, leaving only Spike, Twilight and Tom.

“Alright Tom, I’ll show you to your bed.” Twilight said as she walked up the library stairs. Tom followed along with Spike.

There were two beds and a basket with a pillow and blanket in it. Spike immediately jumped into the basket and started to snore. The sky had gotten completely dark.

“Here you go.” Twilight said as she pointed to the bed opposite to you.

“Thank you.” Tom said as he got under the covers.

“You’re welcome. Good night Tom.” She said as she got into her own bed. The two were soon asleep.

Meanwhile, at Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie and Pat enetered the building to see two earth ponies. One was a yellow stallion with an orange mane and tail, wearing a baker’s apron and hat. The other was a light blue mare with pink hair, who was also wearing an apron.

“Hi Mr.Cake! Hi Mrs.Cake!” Pinkie said.

“Hello Pinkie…who is your friend?” Mr.Cake asked.

“Hi! I’m Pat!”

“Hello…Pat, what can we help you with?” Mrs.Cake asked.

“Can he stay here? Can he? Can he? Can he?” Pinkie asked.

“well-“

“Please! He can help around the bakery! A-and babysit the Twins!”

The two Earth ponies looked at each other, they whispered before Mr.cake sighed and spoke.

“Okay. He can stay here.” Pinkie smiled so much a squeal was heard.

“Thank you!” she said as she dragged Pat up and into her room.

“We don’t have a spare room. But you don’t mind sharing do you?” Pinkie asked.

“Nope.” Pat said, the two then got into the bed and spelt on opposite sides.

“Goodnight Pat!”

“Goodnight Pinkie!”

Over at Sweet Apple Acres, Andrew and Applejack had just reached the gate. They both tied as they stopped to catch their breath.

“Ah think that’s ah draw.” Applejack said.

“Yeah, don’t mind.” Andrew said, once the two caught their breath, they walked up to the house and walked through the front door. They soon saw a little yellow filly with a red mane, tail and bow.

“Sis, what’s that?” the filly asked.

“Applebloom, this here is Andrew.” Applejack said.

“Why’s he here after dark?” Applebloom asked.

“Because he’ll be staying with us for a while. Shouldn’t ya be in bed already?” Applejack said, this caused the filly to race upstairs. This made Applejack and Andrew chuckle.

“Well c’mon Andrew. Ah’ll show ya to your room.” She said as she walked up the stairs along with Andrew. He was then shown a simple room that had one bed, a window, and a couple of hooks on the wall.

“It ain’t much but it’s all we got.” Applejack said as Andrew walked in, took off his jacket and hanged it up.

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it.” Andrew said as he yawns.

“ya better get some sleep. Ah’ll introduce ya to Big Mac and Granny Smith tomorrow before we head off ta see Princess Celestia.” Applejack said.

“Goodnight Applejack.” Andrew said as he got into the bed.

“Night Andrew.” Applejack said as she closed the door and walked off to her own room.

Over at the Casserole Boutique, Rarity and Sean walked in through the door.

“Welcome to my Boutique.” Rarity said.

“This is amazing.” Sean said.

“Thank you dear, though these are simple designs.” Rarity said.

“I would love to see your extravagant designs.” Sean said, Rarity giggled.

Then a little filly came down the stairs, she was a white unicorn with a pink and white mane and tail.

“Rarity, what’s going on?” she asked.

“Oh, nothing Sweetie Belle. Just go back to sleep.” Rarity said, the little filly yawned.

“Ok, but I want to know who that is.” Sweetie belle asked as she pointed at Sean.

“My name is Sean.” He said.

“Ok…night Rarity.” Sweetie Belle said as she turned around and went back up the stairs.

“Who was that little dear?” Sean asked.

“That was my little sister, Sweetie belle.”

“Well she seems to be a lovely little…filly is it?” Sean asked.

“Yes she is. Well, come now. Let me show you your accommodations.” Rarity said as she and Sean walked up the stairs. She then showed him a simple bed.

“I hope this best suits you.” Rarity said, Sean just bowed.

“You have given me a place that stays. A gentleman does not ask for more.” He said as he started to make his suit a bit more comfortable for sleeping.

“Very well, good night darling.” Rarity said, leaving Sean to sleep as she herself went to her bed.

Up around Rainbow Dash’s cloud mansion, Rainbow put down a bit stunned Ray down before the door.

“So, how was the ride?” she asked.

“So Awesome! I’ve always wanted to know what it’s like to fly.” Ray said, Rainbow grinned as she opened the door and flied in, followed by Ryan.

Ryan was amazed at the house, it was huge! The main corridor was filled with blue carpets and objects as two staircases lead up to two double doors. Rainbow flew threw them as Ray wasn’t far behind. He then saw what seemed to be the living room. A huge TV against a cloud wall and a large couch made out of clouds, and one door, that probably lead to the kitchen, and a staircase. Which probably lead to the beds.

Rainbow Dash flew onto the couch and sat down, Ray himself ran up to the couch and landed on it.

“So, are you ready to tell me the song really was Daring Do.”

“It was Indiana Jones!” Ray said annoyed.

“And just what has this Indiana Jones got that can compare to Daring Do?” Rainbow asked.

“That depends. Can you stand the awesomeness of Indiana Jones?” ray asked with a smirk. That was replied back to him.

“Please, I am Awesome.” She said.

(Half an hour of talking later)

Rainbows Jaw had dropped so low, it was like her jaw was dislocated. Ray continued on about Indiana Jones until steps where heard coming down from the stairs. They saw a little orange Pegasus filly with a purple mane and tail.

“Rainbow…who’s that on the couch?”

“Oh, sorry if we woke you Scootaloo. This here is Ray.” She said pointing to the human. Scootaloo yawned.

“Alright, can you keep it down? I need to sleep.” She said

.

“Sure, night Scoots.” Rainbow said, flying over and hugging the filly, the filly hugged back.

“Good night Rainbow.” The filly said as she went back up the stairs. Rainbow then looked at the human.

“Sorry, but all I can offer you is the couch.”

“Don’t worry; this is the softest couch if ever been on.” Ray said as he laid down.

“Will you tell me more about Indiana Jones on the train to Canterlot.” Rainbow asked.

“Sure, if you can tell me Who Daring Do is once I finish.” Ray said, he sweared he heard a squeal before he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Finally, over at Fluttershy’s cottage. The two entered the house as all the little animals were asleep.

“y-you need to be quiet.” Fluttershy said as she slowly tiptoed-tiphoofed ?...who cares, she was on the tip of her hooves, that’s all that matters. Finn slowly followed her.

“F-Follow me.” Fluttershy said as she quietly walked up the stairs, Finn followed until they entered a room with only a queen sized bed.

“Um…do we share?...only if you’re okay with it.” Finn asked. Fluttershy’s cheeks immediately became rosy.

“um…I guess we could…” Fluttershy said. The pair of their cheeks staid crimson red as they both climbed into bed and started to fall asleep.

“Good night Fluttershy.” Finn said.

“Good night, Finn.” She said as she too fell asleep.
