Endeavours

PINKIE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!?? Twilight's scream pierced Pinkies ear and she cowered to the floor " Spike already has the item I requested and thankfully he reported you missing I almost sent every-pony to look for you, "Twilight continued calmly. Pinkie leapt up her tail swishing and with exuberance she told her adventure. As she finished the mane six had crashed upstairs to the library and Pinkie repeated her accounts of what happened in Ever Free.

" You always get to have a radical adventure," huffed Rainbow Dash in annoyance.

" We'll about time Pinkie had her adventure, " Apple Jack retorted in her southern drawl.

" T-tell me m-more about the light," FlutterShy squeaked hiding behind her mane.

" Oh Pinkie darling how wonderful! Rarity exclaimed.

" I almost forgot....  I found a strange stone which can have magical properties," Pinkie explained withdrawing the stone and receiving gasps of amazement and wonderment of its glossy sheen. " What do you think, Twi? Twilight looked at it with rumination and her head tilted to the side as she inspected the stone while they waited for an answer; which would be scientific or theocratic. Well... She said after a huge pause. "It'll be good for my time machine I'm making but honestly Pinkie we never heard of a temple or a finding like this stone before".

" But... I believe you. She took the stone and said follow me which sounded like fgggral me.

Twilight led them down to her basement where all the the magic happens. On the middle of the floor, there was a big machine with tendrils of smoke billowing like shadows of darkness, covered by a blanket.

" Wow your a very busy person Twilight" Apple Jack said in admiration.

" I second that"  Rainbow Dash nodded, flipping through dusty books.

" Check out how beautiful I am" Rarity cooed, checking her reflection at the nearby mirror.

Flutter Shy stayed quiet while Pinkie just bounced and bounced.  Twilight whipped the blanket off with her teeth, revealing something big and barrelled shape, she inserted Pinkie's stone in a corner and opened the door " let's go every-pony," she said her eyes wide in excitement. They all entered the strange machine. Twilight started pressing some buttons and the door closed, she pressed some more buttons unaware of Pinkies hoof touching a big red button. " Pinkie, NOOO!!! Apple Jack yelled but Pinkie hit the button anyway. The machine lurched sideways, hurling the mane six to the ground.

WAAAAHHHH!!!! They all screamed and BANG!!!.

Pinkie awoke next to Twilight. What in the hay happened!? She yelled and Twilight's eyes fluttered opened and she screamed at Pinkies face. What? A mirror came out of no-where and Pinkie saw herself. Instead of a pony she was a human with dark pink poofy hair, and big blue eyes. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and a pink skirt that had three balloons on it. " We're... We're girls" Pinkie blinked passing that mirror to Twilight. Twilight had long dark purplish and light ish hair, her purple eyes looked anxiously around.  She wore a purple vest which had stars and purple shorts. A shoulder bag hung around her shoulders. " Pinkie we have to find the others". "

I wonder how they are," Pinkie said with wary amusement.

" Drat, were lost"  Rainbow Dash said faring her appearance less shockingly. She loved the blue jacket with a rainbow cloud at the bottom and shorts and the way her rainbow coloured hair reflected the sun. What she loved best were her wings, she can still fly.

" This isn't Equestria even an idiot would know, " AppleJack retorted. Her golden hair was tied in a braid, a hat resting peacefully on top. She wore a red t- shirt with a small apple on the side , showing her belly, and brown shorts. Her emerald eyes scanned the long grass. "I need your eyes, Dash can you tell me where we are?. Rainbow Dash gave a nod and immediately flew into the air, scanning the area while Apple Jack proceeded to scan the area surrounding the forest that looked a lot like Equestria but it isn't and she knew it.

" Darling, you mustn't fret, I imagine many people here that might be princes and can sweep us off our feets" Rarity said " and we look natural now, no?. She looked at the elegant white dress she wore, and the diamond necklace. Her hair was purple and very, very, very wavy. " y-you think? FlutterShy whimpered withdrawing slightly. She had long pink pale hair and a yellow sun dress on with a butterfly.  I know so," Rarity agreed. " Oooh look, a castle lets go see whos there!".

Pinkie....

" And then Mr Cake- yes Twilight? Pinkie asked blinking her innocent eyes. They had just practised on how to walk but Pinkie got it straight away. " A lil help please,"Twilight snapped gritting her teeth in frustration. She gripped Pinkies hand and was about to be lifted when a small nut shape plant with scary red eyes jumped out from the bushes screaming DEKU! DEKU! DEKU!

Twilight screamed and let go " What is that creature?". It started shooting hollow nuts at them with quick precision and quick accuracy. Stop it, right now, " Pinkie said raising her confetti bazooka and shooting. The Deku dodged and made a beeline for Twilight who in turn chanted an incantation. Fire came out of no-where and sizzled the Deku who was now screaming in pain, its wooden face turned into ashe and he fell onto Pinkie Pie who in turn was starting to laugh really hard at the now molten body on the floor, " How did you know it's not immune to fire, Twi?

" I didn't Twilight replied its probably an instinct".

"Not an instinct" a voice called through the shadow of the trees.

Rainbow Dash sped towards Apple Jack " I found a sign, were at a place called Lon Lon ranch," she reported, doing a back flip she closed her wings. Lon Lon Ranch? Apple Jack repeated " is it a farm?.

" Could be its not far " Rainbow dash let Apple Jack on her back and together they flew into the clouds and then onwards to Lon Lon Ranch. As they landed a hideous wolf came out from the bushes and swiped at them them. Apple jack twisted, kicked, bucked and snapped as she tried to lay a blow on the wolf while dodging luckily she didn't get hurt. Rainbow Dash wasn't. she yelped in pain as the wolf swiped down her wings causing her shoulder to dislocate. She gritted her teeth in pain but kept giving flurries of punches until he was dead on the floor.

" Aj it hurts!!! She yelped. " It's ok Dash, its over" Apple Jack reassured her. She knocked on the door of the Ranch and it opened revealing a pot-belly middle age guy wearing gray overalls, holding a small poker his dark eyes in contrast with his dark hair. " My name is Smithy, come in and sit down weary travellers, I saw you battle the wolfo and I'm willing to teach you my trade".
