Making the Best of it...Again
Prologue
"I can't believe he is dragging me to this party... I don't wanna go to some party for a seven year old." thought Jessica while glaring ahead in the car with her arms crossed.
Her father looked over and saw the look on Jessica's face and sighed. "Jess, you know I'm doing this for your own good right? You need to get out of the house more and hang out with friends, especially at your age," he said with authority
Jessica looked over at her dad, pouting. "But daaaaaad, I don't even know this girl, plus she's what? Seven? I'm ten, I don't wanna go to some babies party," Jessica said trying to mimic Eric Cartman as best she could.
"It won't be some baby party. Besides, she invited you herself, so we're going."
"But-" She was cut off.
"No buts, Missy! We're going and that's final!" her dad said, getting the last word in.
Jessica glared out the side window, crossing her arms for the rest of the drive. When they reached the street that the party was on, they saw that the parents had gone all out. There were balloons of different sizes and colors, a clown, and even a jump house - everything that a kid would love at a party - but Jessica didn't want any part of it. All she wanted was to go back home. They parked a few houses down and walked to the party, Jessica feeling more and more hate for her father with each step. When they got to the house and went through the door, Jessica went wide eyed, it was much worse than she feared. She had thought it would just be filled with Disney Princess stuff, but no, it was filled with My Little Pony party decoration stuff!
It wasn't that Jessica hated the show itself, she had never watched more than two minutes of any given episode, but her dad was obsessed with the show. It was to a point that she felt that he cared more about the show than he did of her.
Jessica was about to just run back to the car, but before she could escape, the birthday girl came by to greet them. "Jessica you made it, come on!" Monique grabbed Jessica's hand and pulled her inside her own personal hell. They went to the living room and sat with the other girls, who were watching some of the later second season episodes. Once Jessica found out that she would be forced to watch the show, she wished for God to kill her right then and there. But when that didn't happen, instead of waiting for God's intervention she came up with a plan to get her kicked out of the party.
"I can't believe that you guys like this show, it’s so stupid," Jessica said, sounding a little dickish.
One of the other girls spoke up in the show's defense, saying, "The only reason you say that is because you've never watched it." The rest of the others agreed, speaking in unison, "Yeeaaaah."
"I don't have to watch it to know that's its for babies."
Another one said, "It’s not for babies, it’s for anyone!" Once again the group said, "Yeeaaaah!" in unison.
"Oh, believe me, I know; my dad is obsessed with the show," Jessica said with a lot of anger in her voice.
"Your dad's a Brony! That's so cool!" Monique excitedly said
Jessica took a deep breath before she blow up and sighed, "It’s not cool , he is freaking obsessed with the damn show. He loves it so much, that he cares about it instead of me !! Every time I ask him why he loves it so much, all he says is that he likes to see what his friends are up to. He’s so freaking weird !!"
The others were speechless. It took a minute or two before one said, "Yeah... your dad is weird."
After that Jessica left the group and went outside, sitting at the side of the house next to the trash cans. She could hear the screams of the party from the side of the house for what seemed like an eternity. The sky was changing color and Jessica could hear people starting to leave, so she got out of her hiding place and went to go wait by the car. She waited ten or so minutes before her dad came by.
" So... did you have fun?" Her dad asked.
"... Yeah dad, tons of fun..." Jessica sarcastically said.
Her father either didn't pick up on the sarcasm or he just ignored it. The drive back home was a quite one, it was getting dark out by the time they got home. Jessica's mother was out of the state for business at the time, so she couldn't vent out how she felt normally by just talking to her mom. When they got home her father went straight to the computer and searched for the newest episode of MLP. That was the last straw for Jessica, her hatred for her father boiled over and she had to let it out.
"Will you STOP WATCHING THAT GOD DAMN SHOW!!!" Jessica yelled at her father.
Her father shocked at her outburst looked at his daughter and could only ask, "Why?"
"BECAUSE YOU’RE OBSESSED WITH IT! You care more about that FREAKING SHOW than YOUR OWN DAUGHTER !" She started to tear up.
"You know that's not true Jessica," he tried to grab her shoulders but she jerked away.
"YES IT IS!" Jessica ran up the stairs and into her room, and slammed the door as hard as she could. She grabbed her iPod Touch and some headphones, then laid down on her bed facing the wall with the headphones blasting music in her head. Sometime after she had cried herself to sleep, a brilliant golden light flew through her window and engulfed her in its glow.
Moments later she heard a twig snap, and opened her eyes. "Where am I? Why am I surrounded by leaves?" She struggle her way out of the bush, the branches scratching her skin in the process. As she stood up, she saw a man watching her, standing at a nearby tree. Her eyes went wide. "D-dad?"

Making the Best of it...Again
Dad?
Jessica went wide eyed as she looked at the man standing next to the tree. "D-dad?"
The man looked at her in confusion. "Dad? No I'm not your dad, I have no kids," the man said, walking over to Jessica. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are, would ya?"
Jessica shook her head. "No... I was just in my bed sleeping and then I was here."
"Well this is great, stuck in the middle of a forest with a little girl and no way of knowing where we are." The man put his hand up to his chin and looked deep in thought. A cold wind started to blow past them and he said, "Well first things first, we need to find somewhere out of this cold." He looked up to the night sky and continued, "Come on, lets go this way." The man walked past Jessica and she followed the familiar man though the harsh woods.
The trek was not easy. Every few yards the man would trip, stumble, get whacked in the face by a low branch, and the darkness of the forest wasn't making it any easier for him. Jessica, on the other hand, was faring a lot better than the man. He looked like he was about to go into a fit of anger when they found a hollowed out tree that was just big enough for only him to get into. The man looked over to Jessica and told her, "Get in, this is probably the best place we'll find."
Jessica shook her head. "But what about you?"
"Listen, I'll be fine, I'm built for the cold." He shook his stomach to get the point across. "You get in there and try to stay warm, I don't need a sick little girl to be weighing us down."
"I'm not a little girl, I'm ten!" Jessica yelled at him
"Fine, I don't need a ten year old little girl getting sick on me, so get in the tree and please don't yell anymore. You might get a wolf or a bear coming after us."
Jessica put a hand over her mouth and her eyes got wide when she realized that she’d yelled. She nodded her head and went into the hollowed out tree, curling up into the fetal position to stay warm. She closed her eyes and then felt something touch her arm. She looked and saw that the man had taken off his jacket and was handing it over to her. "Here, you'll be warmer in this." Jessica nodded, took the jacket and used it like a blanket and fell asleep.
It looked almost midday when Jessica got up. She crawled out from under the tree and saw that the man was still asleep, so she got his jacket and placed it over him, thinking, This man... he looks so much like my dad. The only real differences is that he is fat and looks a lot younger. Am I dreaming? God, I hope I am. She proceeded to pinch her arm, and as she feared, it hurt. "Nope, not dreaming," she said aloud and the sleeping man started to get up.
He turned around and looked at Jessica. "Good morning, did you sleep well?" he said while dusting off some of the dirt on him.
"Yeah... and thanks for the jacket," Jessica said, looking away.
"No problem." The man got up to look around but almost fell right back down, holding his stomach. "Crap, I'm starving. Come on, we should look for some food." Jessica nodded and the man put back on his jacket and his bags. Once ready, they left their tree shelter and started looking for stuff to eat.
Everything that looked like food to them the man said no to. "Sorry, but it was a stupid idea to look for food out in a forest. I don't know what we can eat and what not to eat," he said to Jessica
"But why nooooot, I'm so hungry." Jessica pouted
"Let me put it this way, if you eat that, you could die, your choice," he said bluntly
Jessica's eyes got wide as she let his words sink into her and realized that it’s better to be hungry than to die in some unknown forest. They continued to walk, with pain in their stomachs, when they heard the sound of someone singing! "LALALA I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MUSTACHE LALALA!" The two looked at each other and ran to the singing voice.
They could see a raging river past the trees, but once they got there the singing stopped and no one was in view. "What! But... but I heard SOMEONE... I know I did." A single tear went down the man's face, swiftly followed by more. Seeing the man cry, Jessica started up too. She then noticed that the water starting to bulge on its surface, like something big was about to come out. Just then a giant purple sea serpent burst from the water, saying, or rather singing "MUUUUSTAAAAACHE!"
The man's face became white as a sheet upon seeing this sea serpent, as did Jessica's. The man fell back saying, "No...no...no no no no no this CAN’T BE HAPPENING IT CAN’T BE!" He looked like he was started to go into a panic attack, shifting into the fetal position. Jessica ran back into the forest and hid behind the closest tree. "Why the hell is there a dragon in a river!?" she said in a panicked voice.
The sea serpent saw this and approached these foreign creatures, "Uhm... hello, you there, are you OK?" the serpent got closer to try to comfort the new creatures, but the man, not in his right mind, crawled away from the serpent yelling, "BACK, BACK, GET AWAY, YOU DAMN MONSTER!"
The sea serpent jerked back and tears started to creep down his face, "I-I'm not a m-monster! I-I'm... beautiful" he wept. Sobbing heavily, he cried, "I'M HIDEOUS, I'M DISGUSTING, I-I-I sniff... I'M UGLY!!!" and laid his head down by the side of the still raging river.
The man, hearing the serpent’s sobbing, cautiously lifted his head to look, and said something under his breath that Jessica couldn't hear. The man looked over to Jessica and motioned her to come over here. Jessica slowly walked over to him and asked, "What?"
"I need you to play along, OK?" The man stood up, took a few deep breaths to steady himself, and asked the sea serpent, " Uhm... excuse me, I'm sorry if I made you cry. Uhm... i-is there any way I can help?"
"Sniff... No. I-I'm hideous. You can't help with that. Sniff."
"Uhm... I didn't mean to call you monster. The thing is, I have bad eyes and I thought you were going to eat me. Although from a closer look... you look amazing!!!"
"I-I sniff I do?"
The man looked over at Jessica and gestured for her to say something. "Ooh uhm... y-yes you do! That wavy head of hair, those nice looking purple scales, and that mustache is amazing," Jessica said, flattering him.
"You’re - sniff - you’re right. I do I DOOOO HAVE A MANLY MUUUUUSTAAAACHE!" the sea serpent sprang up to life "Thank you SOOOO MUCH for the compliment! Now if I may ask what IS your name sir and MADAME? I am STEVEN... Steven Magnet and it is SOOO nice to meet you!
"My name is Jessica, nice to meet you Steven," she said in a cheery tone
The man, looking a little nervous, said, "Uhm... m-my name is Anthony and i-it’s nice to meet you, Steven. Uh... I'm sorry to cut this short but, can you help us out?"
Jessica looked at the man in shock. "He has the same name as my dad? There is no way that can just be a coincidence an- " Her thoughts were cut short by Steven.
"SURE, what do you need friend?"
"You see, we've been lost in this forest since last night and I have no idea which way to get out of here."
"Is that all? I would be MORE than happy to help you SIR ANTHONY! All you have to do is cross this river and head straight that way and you can't miss the town! Here I'll even help you cross." Steven brought up his tail and gestured for Anthony and Jessica to climb on. Anthony cautiously did so, Jessica following suit, and Steven gently put them down on the other side, "And there you are, Sir Anthony! Now just head that way and you'll come across the town."
"Thank you Steven... i-if I ever come back this way I'll say Hi. So, see you later?" Anthony turned and started walking in the direction that the sea serpent Steven pointed him in.
Jessica stood there looking at the Steven. "Thanks for all your help, Steven."
Steven smiled. "It was no problem at all, Lady Jessica. Now, you might want to hurry or else Sir Anthony is going to leave you behind."
Jessica looked behind her and saw Anthony far ahead. "Ooh right." She ran to catch up to Anthony and turned around back to Steven. "See you around, Steven!!" she yelled.
"Yes, see you later my FRIENDS and I hope that our paths may cross again SOMEDAY!!" Steven was waving at Anthony and Jessica until they were out of sight.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of walking, it was back to the same routine as last night; every few yards Anthony would trip, stumble, or get whacked in the face by a low branch. This time around though, Jessica was joining him, but even worse than a few cuts and bruises, she twisted her ankle and couldn't walk anymore. Anthony heard her fall and went over to see what happened. "What’s wrong, are you hurt?"
Jessica started to tear up. "M-my ankle h-huuurts."
"Crap... OK here, get on my back." Anthony turned his back to her, ready for her to get on.
"B-but-" Jessica was cut off.
"No buts Missy, you’re hurt and you can't walk, so the only option is for you to get on," Anthony said with authority.
Jessica nodded in defeat and hooked her hands around Anthony's neck, clinging tightly. The two walked like this for a while, then out of the blue Anthony started to speak, "Jessica right?" she nodded. "OK Jessica, I need to tell you something before we get to the town. After seeing our friend Steven, I found out where we are."
"Where are we?" she asked.
"Well... have you ever heard of the show My Little Pony?" Jessica nodded nervously. "Well... how can I say this... we are in the show now..."
"What do you mean?"
"We are in the show My Little Pony. As in, we will most likely start seeing colorful talking ponies that can do magic and fly and-" Anthony was cut off
"You’re kidding me right?" Jessica said, flatly.
"Nope... now here comes the important part. You can not tell them about how they are in a show in our world."
"Why not? I hate the show, maybe if I tell them the show will never exist."
"And then we will not exist. We are trapped in a fictional world and if this world was never made then we would not be here, but instead be in limbo or something.”
"Fine. I won’t tell them..." Jessica pouted
"Good, now with that settled, how about we get out of here?" Anthony continued to walk.
It wasn't much longer before they found the edge of the forest. Once Anthony saw the treeline, he ran, almost dropping Jessica along the way. When they got out of the forest, Anthony's strength gave out and he dropped to his knees, followed by the rest of his body. He laid there motionless and Jessica got off him and started to panic.
"Hey are you OK?" She shook him a little. "Anthony? Hey, get up." She shook him, some more. "Dad... I said get up... please." Jessica started to cry and yelled, "HEY! ANYONE! PLEASE HELP US! PLEASE!"

Making the Best of it...Again
Trying to Heal Him
Anthony's body lay lifeless on the cold dirt below, just outside of the forest. Jessica's face was wet with tears, and not knowing what to do she shook him, trying to wake him up. She began to scream for help, not caring who or what would respond. "SOMEONE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP! Please..." Jessica started to sob, unable to speak, she hanged her head down in sorrow, but lifted her head one last time to try and get someone to help them. When she turned her head skyward she tried to scream and nothing came out, but at that time she noticed something flying towards them at incredible speed.
Within seconds the object landed and came closer. It was a blue pony with a rainbow hair, it even had a pair of wings. On sight Jessica knew who it was: this pony was one of her dad's favorites, Rainbow Dash.
"Hey are you oookay … ? What the hay are you?" asked the curious pegasus.
Jessica tried to choke out a few words but nothing came out.
"What's the matter? What happened to you two?" she continued, a concerned look on her face.
Jessica didn't want to play 21 questions with Rainbow Dash, she needed to get help for Anthony right away! She swallowed her pain and cried out, "Please... we need help, he needs help... please help him."
Rainbow Dash looked down at Anthony, realized that he wasn't moving, and started to panic. "I-I don't know what to do. If Fluttershy was here instead of picking those dumb flowers she would know what to do." Rainbow rose into the air. "OK I'm going to go look for somepony that can help. I'll be back in ten seconds flat." And she was out of sight.
Jessica looked back down at Anthony and whispered, "Please don't die... I don't wanna be here all alone." About twenty minutes had passed since Rainbow flew away and it was the longest twenty minutes that Jessica had ever experienced. She started to cry again, but then a bright light appeared in front of them and just as quickly dissipated. A purple pony stood there shaking its head and once it gained its composure it ran straight for them.
"I heard from Rainbow that you two need help... what are you?" She shook her head. "Never mind, that can wait. Let me see what's wrong with him - it is a him right?"
Jessica nodded her head while wiping away most of her tears.
"OK, good. Now just a quick scan spell to see what's wrong aaannnd... oh no."
Jessica's eyes shot up, looking the pony straight in the eye. "Oh no? What do you mean oh no?"
The pony sighed. "He's very sick and he is covered with cuts and bruises. How long have you two been out in the Everfree Forest?"
"Since last night." Jessica started crying again.
"Didn't you find some sort of way to get out of the cold?"
Jessica nodded. "Y-Yeah, but it was only a h-hollowed out tree and it was only big e-enough for one of us. H-He said that he was built for the c-cold and made me stay in there, he even gave me his jacket to stay w-warm."
Rainbow Dash got back to the three looking exhausted. "H-Hey Twilight you found them! I looked all over for Fluttershy but I couldn’t find her anywhere. Uhm... what's the matter?" she asked when she saw Jessica crying.
"Dash, you're here! I need you to get back to the library and tell Spike to make the healthiest soup he can make. He is very sick and needs everything that can help."
Rainbow saluted. "Got it, Twi." And with that Rainbow was out of sight yet again.
"OK, we need to move him to my place. Is it that okay with you?"
Jessica nodded, "Yes... just please save him."
Twilight nodded and her horn started to glow, surrounding Anthony in an aura and levitating him into the air. Jessica's mouth fell open as she saw this impossible feat, her mind boggling.
The unicorn noticed the shocked girl and tried to snap her out of it. "Come on, we need to hurry if we want to save him." Jessica shook her head free from the shock and nodded, but when she tried to get up the pain in her ankle intensified and she fell back to the ground. "What's wrong, are you hurt too?" Twilight asked with concern in her voice.
The girl looked up at Twilight, holding her ankle. "I-I hurt my ankle when we were in the forest."
"Why didn't you say so. I'll have it fixed up in no time." The pony went over to Jessica and lowered her horn to the pained ankle, her purple aura surrounding it, and the pain slowly lifted."
Jessica started to slowly get up, ready for the pain to come surging back, but to her surprise her ankle was completely healed. "It doesn't hurt anymore! How did you do that?"
"Magic, but we don't have time for me to explain. We need to get him to the library right away." Jessica nodded and the two walked to the library with Anthony floating by their side.
As they walked through the town they saw that most of the other ponies were working on what seemed to be a festival. There were colorful ribbons, flowers of all the colors of the rainbow, there was even a banner that read, "Welcome Princess Celest". The ponies that weren't really working stared at the new creatures that they had never seen before with concern on their faces.
As they got closer to the library they could see Rainbow Dash looking out a window and when she saw them walking, she flew out the window and flew right next to them.
"What took you guys so long? Spike already has the soup done."
"Sorry, Rainbow, but unlike you, we aren't the fastest fliers in Equestria. Now, if you don't mind, we need to get him inside."
The group headed into the library and went to the main room to set Anthony on the couch and get ready for some healing. "I hope this works," Twilight said as her horn glowed and Anthony's body was once again surrounded by an aura. The cuts that plagued his body healed in an instant and the bruises became less unsightly, but the fever still remained. "This isn't working,” she said. “I healed most of the physical injuries but I can't heal the fever for some reason. Did you two eat something in the forest that you shouldn't have?"
Jessica shook her head, "No... we didn't eat or drink anything."
Twilight's eyes got wide. "You didn't eat or drink anything since last night? Why didn't you tell me?" Twilight looked at the doorway to the kitchen. "Spike, bring in the soup and a couple glasses of water," she ordered her assistant.
"Right away, Twilight!" Spike yelled from inside the kitchen. A few minutes later, Jessica saw the baby dragon walk out of the kitchen balancing the bowls in his arms and the glasses of water in his hands. Spike walked across the room and set the food and water on the table next to the couch. Jessica studied the soup for a moment, but saw nothing suspicious; it looked like plain old chicken noodle soup, without the chicken, so she dug right in. As she ate, she started to tear up; the soup tasted like the most delicious thing in the world after not eating for a day. About halfway through her bowl, she looked over at Anthony, still worried about him. He was laying there motionless, but suddenly his nose twitched and his eyes started to flutter open.
"What is that smell?" Anthony muttered.
Twilight's, Rainbow's, and Spike's eyes all shot to Anthony who was now trying to sit up. "I-It's soup." the scared dragon said.
"Well this soup smells delicious. Ugh... Why do I feel so horrible?"
"Because your are very sick, Misterrrr."
"Anthony."
"OK then Anthony, why don't you eat up and get some rest before we start trying to treat you?" Twilight told him.
Anthony just nodded and was about to pick up his bowl, when Jessica almost sent him back to being unconscious with a flying tackle. "What was that for!" Anthony yelled at the girl, but soon noticed that she was sobbing into his chest. The only thing that he could do now was hug the crying girl and try to comfort her the best he could. "Don't worry Jessica... I'm not going anywhere."
"B-But you a-almost d-died because of me." Jessica cried into his jacket.
"Don't worry, I'm alive and that's all that matters."

Making the Best of it... Again
The Randomness of this Day Doubles all the Randomness so far in my Life
or
TRDDRL
I was crying in Dad's arms for who knows how long when I finally calmed down. Wait no, he isn't Dad, he's Anthony. How can he be my Dad when I'm a complete stranger to him. I let him go after he said he was going to be okay and he got to eating his soup. After Anthony got done something very... strange happened.
Twilight told him to lay back down and she told him to get all the rest he could get. Then out of no where this pink blur came out of his bag that hes been carrying. It stopped right in front of Twilight and faster then the most sugar high kid I've ever seen said this, "Twilightyouhavetohelpme! Fluttershy brought a Parasprite to Ponyville and it is going to make everything go south and if we don't do something you're going to be sad and if your sad then I'm going to be sad and if I'm sad then everypony else will be sad and do you have a tuba?"
And Twilight response to this fast paced blabber was, "... What?"
The Pink Pony threw its head back in a sigh and said, "Ponyville.Danger.Lets GO!" She grabbed Twilight and ran out the door.
"Well that was random huh Anthony?" I looked over at Anthony and he was fast asleep. I started to walk over to him but then felt something grab my arm and turned my head and saw the Pink Pony was back.
She looked at me with big blue eyes and a giant smile and said, "The randomness has be doubled!" And faster then I could blink I was out of the library and next to a equally confused Twilight.
After the daze of the confusion passed Twilight yelled at the Pink Pony, "Pinkie! Why did you bring us out here! There is a very sick... uhm what are you guys called?"
"Uhm... humans?"
"Right there is a very sick human that needs all the help he can have in case something bad happens."
Pinkie rolled her eyes and said, "Well duh why do you think I left Spike and Dashie still there? Anyway this is important! Fluttershy brought a Parasprite to Ponyville and if don't stop them then they will destroy Ponyville!" She then put on a army helmet that she got out of no where and pointed to Twilight, "Twilight, I need you to get me a tuba, a flute, a banjo, a pair of maracas, and a trombone. Jessica you're with me."
Twilight stepped closer to Pinkie with a even more confused look and asked, "Pinkie why-"
"No time for questions Twilight! Tuba.Flute.Trombone. GO GO GO!"
"Ugh Fine Pinkie I'll get the instruments just go easy on Jessica, she's not used to you yet." And with that Twilight left and now I'm alone... with Pinkie... who is starring right at me with a huge smile that is breaking everything I know about the universe simply with how impassibly big it is. Or to put it simply... she's scaring the crap out of me.
"Alright now come on we need to find a harmonica, a pair of cymbals, and a accordion!" she turned around and started bouncing away.
"Umm no thanks, I think I'll just head back to the library where I know is safe." I yelled out to her. then when I turned around she was starring at me mere inches from me face. Needless to say I screamed like the little girl I am and jumped back about five feet. I then proceeded to ramble, failing to make any sense of what just happened, "B-But you over there a-and now your here a-and... w-what are you?"
"I'm a convenient plot device to move the story along. Anyway, come on, we need to find those instruments before it's to late!"
"No, I'm going back to the library and make sure Anthony is Okay." I ran around Pinkie toward the library, after I was a fare dissents away I looked back... and she wasn't there. I looked back ahead of me and there she was, I skidded to a halt and she starting talking again.
"Okay listen to me Jessica, if you go back to that library then that would make for a boring story. The readers will get bored with you just siting there and then they will dislike the story and then they will never read the story again. Also now that the Author got off his lazy bum and started this up again he wants to make this as interesting as possible for the readers. So you are going to come with me and we will go on an adventurer and you are going to like it!"
"...What in the world are you talking about!" I yelled at her.
"Sorry but my forth-wall breaking quota has been filled for this story."
"... I'm scared."
"And I'm Pinkie Pie nice to meet you, now then grab me tail we have stuff to get!" I then cautiously grabbed her tail and once I did she jumped up into the sky yelling "ADVENTURE!" and whisk me off to parts unknown.
* * *
Or at least unknown to me, my Dad could probable find his way around here better then the locals with how much he watched the show... maybe I should have gave it chance... UHH never mind! He should have paid more attention to me then that God damn show!
I must have been crying a little because when I looked at Pinkie she had a frown... something is telling me that is a sign that the world is about to end. "Is something the matter?" she asked me.
"No it's nothing!"
"Then why are you crying?"
"It's nothing OKAY!"
Then she smiled and said, "I know a perfect song that will turn your frown upside down!"
"Please no."
"My name is Pinkie Pie ♪ "
"No no no no no no no!"
"And I am here to say♪"
"Why must God be so cruel!" I yelled to the havens.
After living through a Hell worst then any other, we got to what looked to be a farm that had a TONE of apple trees, there was no reason for there to be this many, they even stretched onto the mountains. Anyway I walked down the dirt road as she uhm... bounced... to the farm and as we got closer I could hear something. "Do you hear that Pinkie? It sounds like something is being thrown at a door or something."
Pinkie jumped in front of me and said, "That must be my friend Applejack, or her brother Big Mac, or little Apple Bloom, OR even Granny Smith, but I doubt it would be her because of her bad hip, but it could be!" She then grabbed me and we went to the sound.
As we got closer I could it was a orange pony wearing a hat that was making the banging sound and because Pinkie Pie is evil incarnate she thought it was necessary to almost give me a heart attack by yelling at the top of her lungs, "HI APPLEJACK WHAT YA DOING!"
Poor Applejack, haven a worse reaction then I did jumped at the demonic sound of Pinkie Pie and hit her head on a tree branch. As we got closer Applejack got up and began rubbing her head, "Dag nabit Pinkie, y'all know I hate it when ya' do that!"
Pinkie then proceeded to hide her smile behind a hoof, "Sorry Applejack hehe, I forgot."
"It's fine Ah' guess, anyway why are ya' here? And uh... what is that thing behind ya'?"
"Thing?" Pinkie looked back at me and laughed, "HEHE that's not a thing silly, she is Jessica and she's a human."
I looked down at the ground and said, "Uhm... hi."
"Uh... hi." And then the silence settled in and now this is as awkward as it could get! But thankfully it didn't last to long when Applejack spoke up again, "Uhm... sorry for calling ya' a 'thing', Ah' just didn't know what ya' are, that's all."
"I-It's okay really... Uhm Pinkie, why are we here again?"
"Oh ya that's right! AJ can we barrio your harmonica to save Ponyville from the evil that is the Parasprites?"
AJ raised her brow and said, "...What?"
"Pretty please with sugar and sprinkles and hot fudge and apples and hot sauce and-" Thank you Applejack for putting your hoof in her month.
"Sure Pinkie, just stop talken' and ya' can have it."
Pinkie raised her front hooves up into the air and let out a muffled, "HAH!" I'm guessing it was a 'yay'.
We walked to the farm house in relative silence, I say 'relative' because for some odd reason when Pinkie Pie bounced there was a slight spring sound coming from her legs... this pony is not normal at all . When we got to the house Applejack turned to us and said, "Y'all can wait out here Ah'll be out in a jiffy." AJ looked at me before going in and I gave her a look that screamed 'DON"T LEAVE ME WITH HER!' she gave me a knowing glace and said, "Ah'll be out before you can say Sweet Apple Acres."
And with that Applejack went into the house and now I'm alone... with Pinkie... who is starring right at me with a huge smile that is still breaking everything I know about the universe simply with how impassibly big it is. "So..." she starts, "Want to talk about why you were such a frowny face before we got here?"
Oh God not this again quick got to smile, "Nope I'm fine really, see?" I put on a fake smile.
Pinkie just frowns and says, "Don't try and pull that fake smile thing on me Missy, I can know a real smile and fake with my eyes closed! And a other thing-" the front door opened and standing in its way was small little pony with a big red bow in its hair... A'WWWWWWW.
The little pony looks at me and she starts to get huddle away from me like she's scared of me. She looked at me with her big sunset color eyes and I... I couldn't help it! I ran over to her and pick her up and start hugging her, "You're soooooo cute!"
She struggles a bit, "P-Put me down!"
"But you're just so adorable!" I continue to snuggle her against my face.
Then she yelled, "Applejack HELP!"
I could see Applejack running down the stairs with the harmonica in mouth. When she got closer she spat it out and yelled at me, "Jessica put my baby sister down right now!" With a sigh I did what I was told and put her down. The little pony, who I guess is the Apple Bloom Pinkie mentioned, ran behind AJ and looked at me from behind her leg, "What the hay possessed you to attack my sister like that?"
I shook my head, "N-No I didn't attack her! She was just sooo cute that I couldn't help it. I-I'm sorry if I scared you." I looked down at my feet in sham.
"Oh is that all? Well sugarcube Ah'm sure if you would have asked Apple Bloom she would have let ya'."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah really, just let this be a lesson for ya', ask before you start hugging somepony or they might get scared of ya'.
I looked up at them and said, "O-Okay, I'll remember that." then I crouched down, "Sorry again Apple Bloom, I didn't mean to scare you."
She got out from behind Applejack and walked over to me, "It's fine, Ah' just thought that you were gonna eat me or somethen'."
I couldn't help but laugh a little, "HeHe I would never eat you Apple Bloom, you're to sweet for that, uhm... friends?"
She smiled and extended a hoof to me, "Friends." I grabbed her little hoof and we shook to our new friendship.
And then that nice moment was shattered by the sound of a harmonica, Pinkie was standing right next to Applejack laughing, "Appreciation: Harmonica Retrieval was successful! Ready to go Jessica?"
I looked back to Apple Bloom and sigh, "Sure Pinkie lets go."
"Okie dokie lokie!" She jumped to the front door and put her tail next to me, "Grab my tail Jessica!"
"Really? We're doing that again?" she bobbed her head, "Fine lets get this over with..." I grabbed her tail.
Pinkie then hopped out of the house then jumped into the sky yelling, "ADVENTURE!"
* * *
"And we're here!" Pinkie Pie said when she stopped in front of a store.
I let go of her tail and ask, "Where is here Pinkie?"
She giggled, "The music store silly. Now wait out here, I shouldn't be more than a minute." She then entered the store leaving me out on the street for all to see... great.
It wasn't even thirty seconds until ponies started to ether run or yell then run. I guess word of mouth hasn't been that helpful for everyone to know about us yet. But then I heard a loud gasp over all the yelling, I looked around but I didn't see anyone out of place, but then I could hear what sounded like hoof clops coming at me, not away like everything else. Then I turned around and saw a mint green pony running at me with a pale cream pony following close behind. She stopped right in front of me and turned the other one, "See Bon Bon, I told you they were real but nooo I'm was crazy to believe something like Humans, well Bon Bon, do you believe me now!"
Bon Bon looked at me then at the Mint pony, then back at me then back at the Mint pony then sighed in defeat, "Well Lyra, I really hate to say it, I really do but, I-I guess you were r-right."
Lyra walked up to me and grabbed me with her hooves, "Can we keep her Bon Bon huh huh, I will love her and feed her and call her Human Lyra Jr and we will be the best of friends forever and ever!"
"I don't know Lyra... keeping a Human can be a huge responsibility, are you sure you're up to it?"
"I can handle it Bon Bon, it has been my dream to meet a human since I was a filly and I will take care of her till the day I die!"
It was around this time I finally got my ability to speak again and the only thing to come to mind was, "I need an adult!"
Lyra looked into my eyes and said the one thing I feared the most, "I am an adult."
Now then, I had a choice right then and there. What one of the two evils did I prefer... well, I yelled my answer for the world to hear, "PINKIE PIE HELP!"
Just then Pinkie Pie jumped out of the store and pointed a hoof at Lyra, "Drop the kid now Lyra!"
"No shes mine I saw her first." She hugged me closer to her and backed away slowly. Then she turned around and ran with me in her hooves! Since when can ponies run on their back legs!?
I looked back and saw Pinkie running after us... wearing a... Batman costume ? I can even hear the theme song!... I'm starting to think I picked wrong here.
Pinkie was catching up fast and she yelled, "Stop right there Joker." in a surprisingly accurate Batman voice.
Lyra just looked back and yelled, "NEVER!" And that eared her a Batarang that she dodged at the last second. We rounded the corner and in front of us was Pinkie, "HOW DO YOU DO THAT!" we both yelled at the same time.
"Doesn't matter. Now then hoof over Jessica or else!"
Lyra looked at Pinkie with a confused look, "Who's Jessica? Her name is Human Lyra Jr and you can't have her!" she then turned around and ran.
I looked back at where Pinkie was and she pulled out a... Oh.My.God..., "Lyra get down!"
"Huh?" she looked at me, then looked back, but it was to late. Pinkie fired the hook shot and it wrapped around Lyra and me. Pulling us back to the Batman impersonator.
Pinkie looked at us on the ground, her mouth was curling, and then she busted up laughing, "HAHAHA That was so fun! Lets do that again!" Lyra and I just looked at each other and sighed and waited for Pinkie to untie us, which she did... only after we both had to yell at her to do it!
Lyra looked me in the eyes and apologized, "I'm really sorry for trying to take you home and treating you like a pet Human Lyr- I uh... mean Jessica."
"I-It's okay... you know what no it's not okay, please don't ever do that again." I said with a straight face.
"I'm sure I can do that hehe. Anyway WOW! A real live Human in Equestria! You have to tell me everything about you guys!"
"Uhm sure but, maybe later. Me and Pinkie were getting some stuff, right Pinkie?"
"Yep, we need to get back to the library right away! That store had the cymbals and the accordion, so we got everything we need!" Then she waved her tail in front of me again.
"Really?" I asked her with a deadpanned face. She bobbed her head. "The library is RIGHT THERE !" I pointed to the library that was only a little way down the road.
She glared at me and said through clamped teeth, "Grab my tail so we can go on an adventure." And the fear of Pinkie threw my logic out the window and my hand grabbed onto the pink tail and we where off. "ADVEN-"
I cut her off, "We're there..."
"ture, " Pinkie Pie whispered. I then went to grab the door but Pinkie stopped me, "You Knooooowwww, you never did tell me why you were sad early."
"Why can't you just drop this!?" She is really starting to make me mad here.
"Well why can't you just tell me?" she pointed a hoof at me.
"Because I don't want to! Please just drop it Pinkie... please." I started to stare at the ground and tried to hold back the tears of frustration.
"I'm not going to let you through this door until you answer me Jessi-"
Just then Twilight opened the door from the inside, "Oh you two are finally here! It's about time to, I've been waiting for a while and haven't gone through my last minute check list for the preparations for tomorrow. Uhh am I interrupting something here?"
"Nope we were just done talking Twilight, come on Pinkie lets see why you had us help collect these instruments." I said as I pushed my way through Pinkie.
Pinkie let out a sigh and followed after me, "I'll make you tell me before this is over Jessica..."
A/n: WOOT After so... so long it's done! For those of you who don't know motivation is the main driving force of writing... and just about everything else really but still, I was without that motivation for a good while and I'm sorry, couldn't really help it.
So tell me readers, did you like the new writing style? Was it worth the wait?(doubt it) Tell me what you like or hate, all comments are welcomed.
