Together We're Homefree

As I ran into the deep dark forest, (and we try to forget the fact that this story has some really weird moments for no reason and the endings are rushed) not knowing where I was actually suppose to go, I figured "my heart would show the way" or some cliché thing like that would happen.

I kept running for a while and it just seemed like the forest was looping over and over again.

I stopped to sit down and catch my breath to reflect on what had happened.

First of all, why would I really listen to those ponies? I mean, I had just met them and they literally told me to run straight in to the dark scary forest by myself.

Looking around I notice how the spooky these woods really are.

I mean, (INSERT SCARY WORLD BY SPG HERE)*

I hear something cracking behind me and I swiftly turn around.

Something rattles in a nearby bush and hug myself tightly.

An owl hoots somewhere up in the trees and I shiver.

I feel something slimy touch my hind legs and I jump 5 ft up and scream at the top of my lungs.

Running away from what ever touched me I close my eyes in fear, still screaming.

I suddenly trip and start rolling down a hill.

I get covered in dark grey mud and some sharp rocks get stuck in it as well.

Still rolling I finally hit the bottom and and then a small "ramp" and I'm sent flying.

Having no control over my body due to dizziness I fly past something purple and I can feel the rocks cut something.

I land in a bush and the world keep spinning around me for a few minutes.

My ears are ringing and I nearly faint.

The world stopps spinning and I start to get my hearing back.

I can hear someone cry and I slowly sit myself up.

The sound of running water could also be heard.

I shove the twigs and leaf out of the way and find the source of crying.

It was that purple Chinese dragon thingy with a sweet golden hair due and that cool half of a mustache! Steven I think his name was...

Wait... half of a mustache...

I looked down and found the other half stuck to the mud on my coat.

I stood up and tried to give the other half of the mustache to him, but I slipped and slid down another hill.

This one was very slippery and also very big.

I opened my mouth to try and call for him but then I remembered that the mane 6 were actually going to meet him pretty soon so I decided that it's probably best to be bit of a meany and just let them learn a bit about friendship and generosity... and also I kinda forgot I had wings...

What? Don't look at me like that! Don't you judge me!

Anyway, I threw the other part of the glorious golden mustache in an nearby bush and rubbed off all the mud and rocks.

"Now, where were I?" I said to myself and looked around.

"I guess i should look for A, but where?" I saw a cave a few feet away from me.

"Now, what was it I was suppose to do with deep dark caves? I remember! Walk in without hesitation! It's not like anything else on this journey has injured me to bad this far!"

I started walking into the cave and it became black as night. I decided to keep moving and after a few moments I saw a light, and felt the smell of fire.

For some inexplicable reason I felt allured and got a warm feeling inside.

Was this the madness of this forest taking over me or was there actually something friendly?

Perhaps it was A, or just my oncoming doom.

When I finally got to the source I saw something wonderful.

It was A! In all his ponified glory! With that red coat and the coral mane! Even some marks a little everywhere!

He sat next to a fire place in a armchair with a book in his hooves.

But I didn't care about anything, I had finally found him! After all this time!

"A!" I yelled and ran towards him.

Finally, my search was at an end!

But then...

A started to morph and change appearance.

And suddenly...

A laughter.

I stopped right in my track and when A had morphed for a bit I saw a familiar face.

With the head of a goat, a lions paw and a falcons claw.

I saw the thing that both made my blood turn to ice and boil at the same time.

"UAHAHAHA! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE!" the Draconequus rolled on the floor laughing.

"DISCORD! YOU *Insert a non-kid friendly word here*" I Yelled.

I turned to me and wiped a tear off his face.

"Oh come on! It was funny! Besides, I am the master of confusion!* I just can't believe you actually fell for that!"

I was about to go and punch him in the face but my hooves were glued to the ground for some reason.

"Oh, you thing I would just let you go after that? I need to explain some things before you go!" He said and put his claw under my chin and made me look him in the eye.

"Now, Since I'm so good at making things chaotic I'll give you 3 lines of dialog of omnipotens, then I'm gonna teleport you out of here and continue the story. Deal?"

"WHAT STORY!? WHAT ARE YOU-"

He tapped my head and I could taste colors and smell sound. Everything was so clear.

"Now you know what to do." He said.

"Yes." I replied.

"Good, your story and your cameos suck BTW" Ha said and suddenly everything became dull and I felt empty.

I found myself on a cliffside and I had a bridge infront of me.

"I really need to get out of this place.." I said and frowned.

I looked at the rickety bridge and saw the infamous castle at the end of episode two.

But there was something odd about it... Wasn't there suppose to be mist covering it?

That's right! And the bridge was suppose to be broken and the "Shadowbolts" were suppose to be at the other side of it!

I looked around and couldn't find the Shadowbolts anywhere.

"Alrighty then." I said and was about to cross the bridge when I suddenly remembered.

I have wings... I really should've utilized them more...

I lifted myself from the ground and I flew over the danger that could've happened if I actually crossed the bridge.

When I landed I landed on the other side of the bridge and I gave out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Shadowbolts.

I got so spooked I hopped back a bit and knocked of the rope from one of the poles that held up the bridge and the whole thing collapsed.

The three Shadowbolts looked at me and chuckled.

"Oh what now!?" I said and pulled myself off of the ground.

"I need to get going so please just let me pass!" I tried to walk past them.

They formed a wall infront of me.

"Where are you going exactly?" The middle one asked me.

"I need to get to the castle, please just let me-" I said and they pushed me back.

"What do you want from me? Bits? My watch? What?"

"We would like you to join us." the one on the right said.

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, we are in need of some allies and would like you to join us." The left one said.

I sighed.

"If I do, will you let me pass?"

"Yes." They said in unison.

"Ugh! Fine! Just call me when you can need me, like when something stupid like, I don't know, an "Changeling" army attacks or some other made up thing comes up."*

"Deal." They said and opened up to let me pass.

"Weirdos" I mumbled and made my way towards the castle.

When I got to the gate of the large ruined castle I could hear a voice, an very familiar voice.

It came from the back of the castle.

I slowly made my way to the back of the whole thing and in a distance, on the cliffside I could see him.

A, he was talking to himself and he sniffled and sobbed.

"I'll never get home..." He said.

"I'm nothing here... *sniffle* I don't know what to do with myself..."

"A!" I yelled and ran towards him.

He turned around with a surprised look. It too him a moment but then he realized.

"C-c?"He said and made the biggest smile I've ever seen on someone.

I teared as I was just a few feet away from him and when he started walking towards me we heard a cracking noise.

The cliff gave up under A and he started to fall.

Time went so slow and it felt like everything was in slow-motion.

I jumped and slid to the edge of the of the remaining cliff and managed to catch him.

Now this where the prolog begins, I hope you read it! If so, I don't need to explain what happens and just continue at the cliffhanger shall we?

And suddenly a white entity swooped down and caught A mid-air.

I was baffled as to what had happened, but was even more baffled over the fact that the entity was Celestia! (Like you didn't expect that.)

Celestia landed a few feet away on a bit safer ground and then put A down.

"Are you OK?" She asked very calmly.

"Yeah... I guess..." A said as he shook on the ground.

I ran up to him to comfort him. I looked up at Celestia.

"Thank you so much but, how?"

"It's very simple, you know how I just suddenly appear at the end of the episode? Stuff just happens and I ended up here to save you."

"Enough with the cryptic talk! Why are you actually here?" I yelled.

Celestia rolled her eyes.

"Fine, I'm here to give you two an ultimatum."

"Why?" looked up at her and asked.

"Because you wanted to go home now didn't you?"

"Yes, but why would you gives un ultimatum? Do you want us to stay?" I asked.

"No, but I know you secretly want to so I'll give you two the choice. You can either go home and believe what you want to or you can stay here and form new lives. There is however catch, if you choose to stay here I will let you do whatever you want, and if you choose to go home a new portal will open at another point in time where you'll get another chance, but you won't have the same privileges. You'll have to start all over again."

A stood up and looked at me.

We stod quiet there for a minute and didn't move, just looked each other in the eye.

"As soon as portal opens you'll have ten seconds to decide."

A few moments passed and we hadn't said nything.

Suddenly there was an explosion.

A rainbow flew out of the castle window and a portal opened besides Celestia.

We looked at the portal and then back at each other.

We nodded and...

That is the end. I sit here, two years later, writing this, story just waiting for that "second chance" we were promised.

Sometimes I think it was just a dream, and other times I regret our decision, but at this point, I just know that,

Together We're Homefree.

The End.
