1. The Ever Free Forest

Pinkie was humming happily as she worked hard at Sugar Cube Corner. The sound of the timer rang and within a few seconds she had a new set of chocolate cupcakes perched precariously on her head-as usual-.  Gently she donned them on a nearby table and said  "It's Done!!! In her bubbly voice.

" Good job, Pinkie, " announced Mr Cake giving her, her weekly bits. " Take the rest of your time of and visit your friends, you must be tired of all this work, baking and looking after the foals".

Pinkie accepted her bits.  "No problem Mr Cake you know how I love them lil foals"  She chirped happily. She  left Sugar Cube Corner in high spirits. Now what should I do? She thought tapping her head with a hoof. I bet Rarity won't be busy. Flutter Shy's training with Rainbow Dash, Apple Jacks's probably selling her delicious Apple pies to help make funds funds for the Apple Family and Twight Sparkle... Just reading I'll visit her next she promised.

At Rarity's Carousal Boutique Rarity was busy talking to her costumers that keep filing in, her purple mane was all flustered and lay in clumps around her head. " Here's your bits next please". Pinkie heard her say in her most elegant posh voice that she could muster. " Oh Pinkie Darling, what brings you to my boutique this fine evening?

Pinkie  jolted. " I just wondered if...she looked at the piling costumers in thought and continued If  I can help you Rarity you need an extra pair of hoofs over here". She hurried to the costumers collections to mask her disappointment.

"You can tell me what to give the costumers and I'll chip in,".

"That'll be great Pinkie, replied Rarity her purple eyes sparkling. A few minutes later into the job Pinkie was the one running back and forth, her gaze frantic to find the requirements needed. Soon the costumers were all gone.

" Pinkie how can I ever thank you darling!!!? Rarity exclaimed but then interrupted Pinkie as she opened her mouth " I know I can treat you to the spa and we an have some major pampering". That is exactly what they did.

Feeling refreshed Pinkie and Rarity parted ways. Pinkie trotted to where Twilight Sparkle lived in a tree dome. She thought that Twilight would open the door but it was Spike the baby dragon her number one assistant "Hey Pinkie he said still holding the door, come on in".

Pinkie bounded in and bounced upstairs to the library where she knew Twilight would be. Spike followed her up and acknowledged Pinkie's presence to the hunched unicorn sitting in the corner, but Twilight just gave a small grunt her eyes trailing an important  document with speed. "Hey Spike do me a favour" she said lifting her eyes on Pinkie " you too Pinkie". "  Can you go to Ever Free Forest and collect something from Zecora for my experiment please?"  She lowered her head and continued reading.

Yes Twilight,"  Spike replied and obediently led Pinkie downstairs. " I'm sorry Pinkie, lets go get the item" he smiled reassuring. I'll be waiting at the front of Ever free, it's dangerous and best to be equipped and ready incase Timber wolves invade".

"Sure" Pinkie said dejectedly her hair deflating. She went ahead off Spike and sat down waiting patiently suddenly she dozed off.

Pinkie awoke to the darkness of Ever Free. What in the hay? She thought how could I have dozed off in such an important time?.  SPIKE!? she yelled Are you here yet!? Please answer me I''m scared". Suddenly a light flashed between her eyes zipping back and forth.  Pinkie followed the light as it spun and wove through the trees ,often  waiting for her to catch up before continuing. It led her deeper and deeper, past a stream and stopped as it reached a temple. It towered higher than the tallest tree and was made out of beautiful stone marbles just like an Ancient Greeks temple. Pinkie went in exploring its depths excitingly only to stumble upon a weird looking marble with strange markings and incantations written on the side. She accidently stepped on it breaking it. Light flashed everywhere and Pinkie shut her eyes until she was sure the light was gone. She picked it with her teeth, found the light that was guiding her and trotted back home.

2. Links world

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".

The quest

Rarity and FlutterShy walked towards the castles gate, their legs shaking at the sight of Hyrule Castle towering over the village

Of Hyrule. " HALT! who are you and state your buisness," a guard asked haughtily giving them a hard glare.

" We... Rarity began walking up to him are your King's acquaintance who have been summoned and he wouldn't want you to damage his loyal servants, wouldn't he? she said in her most elegant voice she could muster.

"Ah I do apologise, I hope everything is to your liking?  The guard bowed low.

Yes  indeed very, come along FlutterShy, we have a meeting to report to the king our findings" Rarity lied smoothly, tossing her head up high, she pretended she was a queen and walked gracefully through the garden. FlutterShy hesitatingly stumbled beside her. They stopped at another gate, but the guards sensing Rarity's stare steered a nearby wheel causing the gate to fall with a pop. FlutterShy squeaked and clutched onto her arm.  They continued until they got to the throne room.

King Harkinian watched them enter. He held a goblet between his fingers and with a yell he flung it at the wall, red juice the colour of blood stains dripped down. " WHO ARE THESE CHILDREN!?

" Y- Your highness w-we thought they are your servants" replied the guards, gesturing wildly at Rarity, the miss said so"

" Miss, Eh? well I''m King Harkinian and you are?

Rarity bowed low " Rarity, your highness and this is FlutterShy,"

" What queer names you have for a bunch of mere commoners" he huffed. Tell me travellers where do you come from, if not Hyrule and do not lie to me because you look nothing like us Hylians".

" We your Highness are actually from a place far from here, we are trying to find our way home and decided to have a little fun in this quaint place, you call Hyrule" Rarity snapped, keeping her composure but with cold stiffness in her voice she knew she would soon boil.

" You must wait for the Picori festival then, children" King Harkinian replied kindly. " The festival is in order to find the new tri force. Today we would witness the Tri-forcer claim the Picori blade to vanquish all evil and to accept the Tri-force for it is a new beginning. " You may attend as my... Prisoners". GUARDS THROW EM IN THE DUNGEON! I DON'T TRUST THEM!

I'm royalty! how dare you do such a thing," Rarity spat, her horn shone brightly, she levitated a chair and flung it to the nearest guard. She continued flinging items with her levitation while FlutterShy shrank back, her eyes wide. Suddenly she grew tired and the guard swung his swords hilt connecting with her shoulder and she slumped down defeated, Rarity Noooo! FlutterShy screamed bending down and nudging her gently. Someone knocked her aghainst her back and she fell unconscious. " I wish I can protect her but Im nothing but a burden" she thought.

" FLUTTERSHY! darling please dont die, wake up and smile for me please," Rarity pleaded to the sky oh Celestia.

Rar, your ok" FlutterShy winced as she slowly got up. " I thought we would die". Rarity hugged her tight " I was scared for you, Shy" she muttered " That scoundrel of a king! Why I outta replace him and teach him some manners don't you think Shy?

" I'll like that very much" FlutterShy whispered, nodding approvingly. " What's going to happen to us? She said softly but Rarity caught her words It'll be great to go to the Picori festival and check out that sword I bet its a key to take us back to Equestria, where we belong".   " Your right FlutterShy, we mustn't give up just because he caught us," Rarity smiled.

They looked around the cold, bleak dungeon searching for ways to escape, finding none they sat back disappointed and decide to wait for someone or an opportunity to break through. Suddenly there was light. In that light it revealed, a young girl with golden pale hair tied in braids,a golden circulet encased with a red jewel sat on her head. She had kind dark eyes and ears of an elf, her dress completed her attire. " My father has changed...he is not the kindhearted man he once was, please hurry or he'll find out". She led them upstairs. " Names Zelda by the way, princess of Hyrule and I get to decide who is our new Tri-force though dad is really hoping it might be Vaati" she shivered at his name and grinned hes a real tyrant but deep inside hes a sweet person...my dad I mean" . Rarity just nodded at the unexpected helper. Zelda led them deeper through the castle till they reached her room. She went into her wardrobe and took out some long dresses, one a pale yellow and another a red lace with a t-shirt combo. " These will do, hurry and put them on." Disguised and ready Zelda took them to the Picori festival outside.

Back to the forest.

Who are you, come out! Twilight yelled clearly frustrated that he disturbed their victory over the Deku.

" Promise, you won't hit a Hylian on sight," the voice called " If you can't then I'm not coming out".

" We promise no, we Pinkie promise" Pinkie said hurriedly, cross our heats and hope to die, stick a sword through our lives we won't hurt you". Convinced the figure stepped forward. He had blond hair tied in a ponytail, a green hat on his head. He wore a mini green t-shirt and shorts. A sword and shield accompanied his back. "I am Link". Twilight she greeted warmly.

"Pinkie!! Pinkie cried bouncing happily.

" I was wondering if you would love to accompany me to the Picori festival? It's starting soon and I hope to become the one to bear the mark" Link explained while they walked through the forest that had entrapped them from the beginning.

"He's such a nice guy," Apple Jack said putting a long sword to her scabbard. " Your arm looks better too dash," she reported nodding in approval. " I'm glad" Rainbow Dash said unfolding her wings from her hoodie and letting the sun warm it. She sighed happily and gave a flitter. " We gonna check this festival out?".

" Off course it's an event I think Pinkie will jump out at" Apple Jack laughed perhaps Twilight will be interested if its scientific  and Rarirty if there are princes". This way".

Hyrule Village-

" Welcome one and all to the Picori festival, much is to be celebrated here within the castle our decision of the Tri-force bearer and the leader of Hyrule" began King Harknian we are going to have so much fun with these festivities and I hope you all have a good time". "Good time my foot" Rarity thought as everyone mingled and talked to each other while she and FlutterShy stood at the back. Hours later, which felt like minutes passed, the horn hooted. Four tiny picori's lifted a heavy brown sword to the front of the room. They opened it. A beautiful shiny sword beckoned wavering at everyone's grasp. " Today henceforth we decide the- King Harknian began but stopped as two people were tussling on the ground Link and his enemy the sorceress Vaati a kokori. They hit the chest, and the chest slipped breaking the swordes into bits and the power loose.

" Who can help me now!? The kings wail hit them " I fired all my best soilders".

" I'll go" the mane six all said together, found each other in the crowd and started giggling up a storm, but something happened  that stopped all of them in shock.
