Spike has re-awoken someplace else, a place he doesn't know.

After taking a short nap, Spike has gone missing. He has found himself in another land altogether, a place where unicorns, pegasi, talking ponies, and dragons are only myths. Will he ever make it home?

Where am I?

HONK!

Spike awoke with a jolt. "Huh? Pinkie Pie?" he asked as he scratched his head. He didn't see anypony, just darkness. He sighed as he pulled the covers back up.

Huh?

Spike grabbed around of his covers, not able to find it. "What the?" he blurted out, as he reached around for his blanket. There was nothing there. He stood up, and realized he was sleeping on the ground. The ground was a thick, flat, material; it was nothing like the dirt roads back home. He looked around, and noticed buildings made out of brick, and a wood fence in front of him. He turned around, and immediately was greeted by light. He shielded his eyes, as he approached it. When his eyes adjusted, he saw a sight no pony or dragon has ever seen.

There was a black road in the middle of two white greyish sidewalks. He stared dumbfounded at the machines that roared about on the black. He quickly ran back into the alley he was before, to avoid being attack by one of those things. "Twilight?!?!? Where are you?!? Help!" he exclaimed. Right now, all he wanted to do is fling himself into her arms. Never has he ever been so scared before. Twilight has always been there for him, even when he thought she didn't love him, she came after him.

He sat down, forcing back tears. He was lost, and not by choice. He thought for a few moments. "Maybe somepony here can help me!" Spike thought aloud, as he stood up. A burst of bravery entered the baby dragon's heart. He trudged out of the alley, and walked down the white-greyish sidewalk. He ran in the first building he saw. It said in big letters "AMC" above it. As Spike ran in, he saw bipedal creatures, some where white, while some where black or brown. They stared at the him as he zipped as fast as possible from them. "What was that?" one man asked to no one in paticular.

Spike quickly ran into a room what said above it "Theater 9, 'Journey 2 : The Mysterious Island'". In there, sat more creatures in seats. He darted under a chair, as a screen infront of him began to move. Spike was curious of the screen. The lights dimmed, and everyone in the room focused on the screen. Then, the show began to start...

************************************1 and a half hours later..************

Spike stared for a few more moments. "That movie was awesome!" a young voice from behind him rang. There was also a fatherly chuckle. "Alright, stay right here, I have to go use the bathroom." the deeper voice replied, as footsteps walked out of the theater. A hoard of shoes also left. All that was left was Spike, and the other creature. Spike gulped. This was his only chance. He crawled out from under the seat, and stood up. He stood at the small height of 2 feet.

By the time Spike was near the stairs, he hesitated, but it was too late. The other thing saw him. It looked at him in shock. Spike just looked back, a little surprised himself. "Hello?" Spike asked. The creature was even more shocked. "You can... talk?" it replied. Spike nodded. The boy wobbled, and fell to the ground. He fainted. "Okay, I'm back!" a voice rung as it came closer.

Spike had changed his mind, and ran towards the nearest exit and opened the door, causing an alarm to set off. Spike yelped, but ran out anyways. "Huh? Alex are you okay?" the voice said in a worried tone. Spike had ran as fast as his tiny legs could. He approached a hill that seemed to stretch forever, and he walked it. He yawned, and his stomach growled. He was hungry, yet alone tired.

After Spike climbed the viciously long walk, he approached a neighborhood. He didn't want any of those things noticing him, so he hid to the easiest backyard to get into. He opened up the gate, and tip toed in.

Spike noticed trees were near the end of the fence, and an exit gate was at a path through the trees, and led to a path from outside of the fence. The fence itself was made of humble wood, and a deck painted cherry red, stood in the above center of the area. Near the trees were mud, and grass covered much of the top hemisphere of the yard, showing that the fence was recently extended. Rocks, and dirt were under and on the left side of the deck.

Spike was about to find a place to stay for the night, before he noticed two dogs running his way. One was a large, brown, lab. Another, was a miniature schnauzer, with a coat that resembled salt and pepper. That was the last thing he remembered before fainting. The dogs were quite shocking, especially since they were larger then usual.

Meanwhile, back in Ponyville...

Twilight Sparkle walked back in to her library. "Okay, Spike. It's time to get up!" she yelled up the stairs, waiting for a response,but, there was not a single peep. She sighed as she climbed up the stairs and opened the door to her bedroom. When she glanced over to her assistants bed, she gasped. He was gone.

Twilight literary flew down the stairs, and ran outside. "Spike!?!? Where are you?!?!?" she screamed. She quickly walked over to a group of ponies. "Hey, have you ponies seen a purple baby dragon? Green eyes, and spines?" she asked in a worried tone. They shook their heads. Today, was going to be a long day for the unicorn...

Another short intro for another story! I am working on many projects, so it make take some time for the next installments for my stories to come. Anywho, your probably going to think, "Oh great, another boring Equestrian in the Human World fic" Thats fine by me. Its your choice to read it, and if you like it or not.

Spike and the Brony Community

Spike felt something wet dab at his arm. "Just five more minutes Twilight..." he groaned. Instead of hearing Twilight, he heard a giggle. A giggle he wasn't familar with. His eyelids shot open. He was facing a cealeing made out of drywall. He turned his head, and noticed one of those creatures held a napkin wet with water, dabing away the dirt on his scales. The creature smiled at him, but frowned at his mortified expresion. "Calm down okay? You were lucky you weren't licked to death." the creature smiles.

"What are you, and who are you?!?" Spike stammered out.

"I am a human. The name is Jenny." she replies. Spike looked around his body, and didn't notice too many scratches. After a moment of silence, Spike tossed in, "So, where exactly am I?" Jenny perked her head up a bit. "Oh, your in Georiga in the United States of America. I'm pretty sure you never heard of it, Spik-" she said untill she realised what she had just said. Spike looked at her suspiciously. "How do you know my name..?" he asked.

"Uh-Uhmm... Okay! Come on in boys!" she panicked. Then, a large door flung open, and two boys were staring at the dragon, in surprise and excitement. "This is little Johnny, he is 5 years old, and this is Austin, he is 13 years old.
she introduced. They both nodded and waved at Spike. Spike only smiled nervously as a response. Johnny walked over and stared at him, making him feel uncomfortable. Spike snapped out of it, and turned to Jenny. "Alright, stop stalling. How do you know my name?" he asked, his eyes narrowed. Jenny began to sweat. She sighed as she motioned him towards her.

Spike hopped of the bed he was placed on, and followed the girl, with the two boys not far behind. She entered the office and booted up her computer.

Meanwhile, back in Ponyville...

"Pinkie! Have you seen Spike? I haven't seen him anywhere!" Twilight screamed as she ran to the pink pony. Pinkie Pie shook her head. Twilight was becoming desperate. Pinkie Pie waltzed of to Sugarcube Corner, and left Twilight alone. Twilight sat down, and shook her head in disbelief. Her eyes watered, and released salty tears down her cheeks. It was too early to say goodbye.

Twilight stopped, when she felt a sudden shock of pain on the back of her head. She became woozy, and fell to the ground.

THUD!

*******************************************************************

Spike gasped. The machine infront of him became alive, and a picture of him and Twilight were on the computer. He frowned and relized how much he missed her. She moved the pointing thing on the screen, and openned up something called "Google Chrome" and went to a site named "Youtube". She searched up "mlp fim ep. 1"

There, was a picture of Twilight, Applejack, a few other ponies, and him. He stayed quiet when she clicked on the very picture. Then, a video played and he saw an introduction to Equestria, and then Twilight. "Twilight! Wha-?" he exclaimed. Spike only saw pictures of him and Twilight, but not her moving and talking, behind a screen. "D-D-Don't worry Twilight! I'll help you!" he said, trying to reach her. Johnny snickered a bit as Spike desperatly tried to take her out of the computer. Unfortunatly, he only touched a screen.

"Twi- Twilight..?" Spike cried. He couldn't help her. He was so close, yet so far. "Why can't I help her?!?!?" he turned to Jenny. Jenny took pity on the poor dragon. "Oh, Spike... She isn't real there. This is only a recording. A fake." she explained. Spike just stared at her. Jenny, with out warning hugged the dragon. She felt responsible about how he reacted. Jenny then openned a few tabs, and opened the sites : Ponibooru, Equestria Daily, and Equestria Forums.

"You see Spike, you are part of a show we humans enjoy. Your show, specificly is enjoyed by a ton of us. This is Equestria Daily, where we keep up with news related to the show. This is Equestria Forums, where a few of us talk about the show. And last but not least, this is Ponibooru. Here there are tons if pictures of you and your friends." Jenny announced. Spike threw this around in his head a bit, and nodded. Before Jenny could explain any more, Spike's stomach growled. "Oh! Your hungry. Uhm... Come on guys, lets go make some dinner before Mom and Dad get home." she said, turning to her siblings. "Stay here okay?" she added, looking at Spike. He nodded, and the three humans left.

Spike, curiously climbed up on the table and moved the mouse. He was pretty sure he could work it. He moved the mouse to his name, and was greeted by a few pictures of him and others. He decided to start at the beginning, where one picture of him looking sad, with some text over it. He clicked it, and it enlarged enough for him to read better. It said, "Twilight's friendship magic, didn't include you." Spike bit his lip. It couldn't be true. His claw then accidently slipped on the wheel in the center, and noticed more text. Spike's curious glare turned into a hurt frown.

A comment stated, "That is because you are just a piece of talking office equipment. A fax machine she puts food in." Spike felt bad. How could they be so mean to him..? Just then, Jenny returned and noticed what Spike was doing. She sighed sadly when she saw what he was looking at. "Spike, I'm sorry you had to see hate aimed at you. But, not everyo-... erm, pony hates you. Right now, you need to eat." she said. Spike nodded as he followed her downstairs. "What did you make? Gemstones? Hayfries?" he asked. Jenny shook her head. "Mac and cheese." she simply stated.

There, they walked into a living room, took a right, and entered a kitchen. On an island, there sat a small bowl, with yellow and soft shells in it. Spike was worried as he sat down. He decided not to say anything. He grabbed a spoonful, and dropped it in his mouth. His worried expresion changed. It was delicious! It was creamy, cheesy and pretty easy to chew. Not before long, the entire bowl was gone. "I'm guessing you liked it." Austin said, with a smile.

"I made it all by myself!" Johhny boasted, while his siblings both rolled their eyes. Then, a noise rumbled from outside and all three of them paniced. "Austin! Hide him in your room! Johhny and I will clean up the mess!" Jenny exclaimed, shooing him away. Without warning, Spike was scooped up by Austin, and brought him to his room. "Sorry, Spike. Your going to have to sleep in the closet..." he said. He put him in the closet, and gave him a blanket. He shut the closet door, and ran downstairs to help his siblings. Spike yawned, and relized how tuckered out he was. He pulled up the blanket, and snuggled up against a stuffed animal.

"Home" Alone

Spike reawoke with a snort. A piece of paper was placed by his side. He couldn't read it, because the closet was too dark. He pushed the closet door open, and read the paper. It said, "Dear Spike, Jenny, Johhny, and I have to go to school, and our parents have to go to work. We will be back first, so don't worry. We left you a few snacks on the counter. Don't eat it all. From, Austin." Spike tapped his foot. He was used to being home alone, but in a whole new world? He sighed as he walked downstairs. He went to the counter in the kitchen, and noticed some small bag of snacks and some cheese. He walked over to read the what the snacks were called.

"Smartfood, Lays, Girl Scout Cookies, Coca-Cola, and... Gold Fish...?" Spike listed. He was curious and opened up the Gold Fish packet. Inside, were yellow fished shaped snacks. He tossed one in his mouth. It was pretty good to him. Spike then decided to grab the bottle that said "Coca-Cola" and walked into the living room. He was about to find a book to read, but then noticed the large screen on a wall. There was a remote on the coffee table next to him, with a tempting button that said "POWER".

He shrugged and pressed the button. The screen flickered on, and Spike stared in amazement. How did the tiny device work without being connected to the screen? He sighed. This world was very confusing for the baby dragon. The screen displayed a show called "The Fairly Odd Parents", as the title said. Spike watched as the boy that seemed to look a bit like him made a wish to three floating characters. Spike opened up the Coca-Cola bottle and took a sip of the drink. It was disgusting to the dragon. He spit it out before he could swallow. "Ugh... What was that?" he commented.

*******************************************************

"Good morning, Sleepy head." a distorted voice said. Twilight opened her eyes. "Wha-What? Who's there?" She yelped. The voice chuckled. Twilight was tied in a chair, in a dark room with only a single light above her. "I thought it was time we talked... since, you know, I was the one who got rid of your 'number one assistant'" the voice mocked. Twilight stopped struggling. She just looked down at her back hoofs. "What did you do to him...?" Twilight asked sternly.

"What was that?" the voice taunted.

"I SAID, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!?!!?!?" she screamed. The voice chuckled once more. "Oh, I'm not even sure myself. I just sent him some world else." Twilight was bug eyed. Her assistant... her little brother.... in another world all by himself? "Why...? WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!?" she raised her voice again. The voice chuckled once more. Hoofsteps approached her. The light revealed a familiar blue showmare. "Revenge." she simply stated.

**********************************************************

Spike bit his lip. The show was rather... odd, as it said in the title. He sighed as he got up. He was finally bored of the television. He walked back upstairs and decided to test out the computer. When he found the power button, the device showed a picture of a dog and a box with the word "Password" above it. Spike groaned. It had a password, just like the Cutie Mark Crusaders did when he tried to visit the club house.

Spike stared at the computer menacingly and cracked his knuckles. He was going to crack the code. He first typed in "Spikeisthebest" but that was incorrect. He also typed "Rarity", "Spike", "Dragons", "Gemstones", and "Rarityisawesome" but no luck. He noticed a hint that popped up. It said, "One of my dog's name. (no caps)" Spike smiled. He was halfway through. He started typing in names for dogs. "Riley", "Chocolate", "Ruby", and then finally "Lucky". The computer chimed and Fluttershy seemed to whisper "Yay." He made it in.

Spike was interested by the large amount of icons on the screen. He had figured out how to use a computer by now, and was determined to use it. He remembered a site that Jenny told him about, called "Equestria Daily". He thought for a moment and repeated the steps Jenny did to bring it up. He was greeted by a light blue site with a picture of "Equestria Daily" and a few ponies around it. The headliner below it said, "Twilight Sparkle is a Box" . Spike blinked, utterly confused. Twilight wasn't a box!

A picture below it showed what was a box that looked alot like a purple unicorn and another yellow and black box. Spike was rather confused. He was just about to click on it when he heard the front door open. "Spike! We are home!" Jenny's voice called. Spike quickly shut down the computer, and ran downstairs. "So, what did you do?" Johnny asked, curiously. Spike scratched his head. "I just messed around with stuff... nothing much." he replied. Jenny's eyes wandered around and when she quickly noticed a stain on the carpet.

"Spike! What did you do?" she groaned. Spike then remembered how he spit the Coca-Cola on the floor. He gave an embarrassed smile. "Well, when I tried the Coca-Cola drink, it didn't taste that good... so I spit it out." he added. Jenny shook her head as she went into the kitchen. She returned with a paper towel and some cleaning spray. She cleaned up the stain with ease, and threw away the paper towel.

"Alright, so we only have 2 hours before mom and dad get here, so what do you want to do?" Jenny asked the dragon. Austin quickly grabbed the dragon by his wrist. "I think its time he learned about Video Games." he smirked. Austin quickly dragged the dragon back up the stairs and into his room. There was a smaller TV, and a strange device sat right next to it.

Austin quickly pressed the button on the device and a light turned on. He then turned on the TV and changed the "input" to HDMI. There a screen showed a menu of two users, one named "Sliverstar" and "Awesomesause". Austin chose "Silverstar" and a new menu popped up. He quickly went to the game section and clicked on "Little Big Planet 2". He handed the controller over to Spike and smilled. "Are you ready for an entirely new world?" Austin questioned.

True Intentions

The screen chimed on, and displayed a strange looking cardboard room where a character made out of wool fell from the roof. Spike was given the second one while Austin had the first one. Austin then smirked as the character waved at them. Spike was dumbfounded when he realized he was waving to him. "What the?" he let out. Austin chuckled a bit. The sack like creature moved to the controller in the room, and used it.

It zoomed up on one of the planets, and it moved to "Story". Jenny walked in, and watched them play, and how much Spike struggled to do so. He was having fun. "Hey Spike, stay right here for a sec." Austin said, as he put down the controller. He closed the door behind him as he walked out. "That was sudden." Spike mumbled to himself. He walked over to the door, and tried to hear what was going on.

"So, Austin, how are we going to get Spike home?" Jenny asked.

"Why should we find a way home for him? I bet he likes it here than Ponyville." he replied. Jenny was taken back by Austin's reply. "How could you say that? He has to miss Twilight and Rarity!" she protested.

"Yeah? Well, I prefer him here, and I'll make sure he stays." Austin replied selfishly. Spike was surprised by this. He just heard Austin's true intentions; to keep him all to himself. Having fans sucks. Spike didn't want to stay here much longer after he heard that. He didn't think he could bring himself to trust them. He did want to go back home, and he really,REALLY, wanted to see Rarity. he walked over to a near by window, and using all of his strength, he began to pull it up. After much work, the window opened. He stepped out of it, and nearly screamed when he saw the drop.

He gulped down his fear, and began to walk on the side of the roof. It's too bad he was on the second floor, it might of not have been as bad. He heard the door open, and then a gasp. "Spike?!?" Austin yelled, confused. He looked out the window, and thought the worse. "JENNY! Spike went out the window!" he yelled.

"WHAAAT? Do you think he heard our argument?" Jenny screamed as she ran into the room. They both scanned the back yard, while Spike nervously watched them. He looked down at the fence in the back yard. He could probably land on it, because the roof was near it. He took a soft deep breath, and jumped.

He landed almost skillfully on the fence. Then again, it was only a 3 inch drop. Spike hopped of the fence, and scanned for an escape. He didn't want to see any more humans. They were selfish. He had forgotten Jenny's protests about helping him get home, and he only focused on the selfish things Austin said. He wasn't a pet, or a toy!

Spike decided not to go near the houses, but into the nearby woods. The woods isn't the nicest place in the world, but that'll do for now. "Hey look! There he is!" Austin yelled, pointing right at him. Spike's heart stopped for a moment, and he watched them run away from the window. They were coming after him. He didn't want to get caught. No way no how! He quickly ran into the woods, and he saw Austin and Jenny trying to catch up with him. "Come back!" Jenny cried. Spike refused, and sprinted faster. Using his own cartoon physics, his legs were moving so fast, they seemed to look like wheels.

"Please come back!" Austin begged. Spike ignored him, and dodged trees left and right. Spike was heading towards a ravine, and he quickly picked up more speed, and jumped. His jump was a very far jump. He almost missed the other end, but he managed to grab the ledge, and climb up. The boy and girl stopped. "Spike, it's dangerous out there! You might get hurt!" Jenny said, worried out of her wits.

"Yeah? Well, I prefer this than being a pet." he replied annoyed. He then ran away, just when Jenny seemed like she was about to kill Austin.

Twilight gasped at Trixie. "Trixie? I didn't mean to make you angry!" Twilight said, her voice filled with worry. Trixie flipped her mane, and laughed. "Oh, sweet talking won't get you out of this mess." she said. Twilight sighed as she realized how easy it is to escape. Her horn glowed, and the ropes came off right away. Trixie was shocked at first, but then, she laughed nervously. "IT-Trixie was only kidding.." she said.

"Look, Trixie. I'll forget all about this, IF, you help me find Spike. Got it?" Twilight said, angrily. Trixie slowly walked back into a wall as Twilight walked forward to her. "Fine. Trixie will help you find your pathetic loser of an assistant." Trixie replied with a hmph.

"So, you have no idea where you sent Spike?" Twilight asked.

"No." Trixie replied plainly.

"Well, I do recall seeing such a spell that lets you see other ponies past spells. I saw it in the Canterlot archives." Twilight said, placing her hoof to her chin. Trixie smiled nervously. "Trixie doesn't know where the archives are."

"They're in Canterlot. At Horseshoe Blvd." Twilight said, looking at her unamused.

"Oh. Right. Trixie knew that." Trixie laughed. Twilight facehoofed. Twilight had a good eye on Trixie as they left the building she was put in. They were in Ponyville's abandoned bakery. "So, when is the next train leaving?" Trixie asked.

"Around 4:00 PM. We are going to have to wait for it, since it's 3:14 PM right now." Twilight said, judging the time by the sun.

"And how do you know the schedule?" Trixie wondered.

"I have it in the library. I memorize every train time every week, just in case." Twilight replied proudly.

"Heh, Right." Trixie said, automatically thinking about how weird this mare is. What was ironic was that Twilight was thinking the same thing about Trixie.

___________________________________________

Heh. Sorry guys, I sorta rushed this time. I really needed to get this through since I didn't make an update last weekend.
