Life in Equestria

[Notice!]

I have been getting comments that second person is “annoying”, so I will be writing in a third person from here on out.

Enjoy!

Storm Feather pushed the library door open. He could see a lavender wing from behind the door and pushed it open farther. Ginger bounded in, knocking off Twilight’s concentration.

“Whee! I get to meet Twilight!” Twilight stepped back in confusion as Storm Feather walked in after her.

“Sorry about that, she’s a little…excited.”

“It’s quite alright.” Twilight said with a smile.

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!” Ginger bounced up and down through the library before being cut short by Spike.

“Twilight, what’s going on?” Ginger stopped dead in her tracks and practically teleported over to Spike.

“NO. WAY!” She bounded towards Storm Feather with a giddy smile. “Jake! Jake! It’s Spike!” He gave her the evil eye before she quickly corrected herself. “Um…I mean, Storm Feather.” An innocent grin grew on her face, reminding him of Pinkie Pie.

“She kind of reminds me of Pinkie.” Twilight said with a giggle.

“No doubt! She’s like a…MINI Pinkie Pie!” All of the ponies glanced up at the window sill to a cyan mare sticking her head in. “What? She is!” Twilight rolled her eyes and levitated a book towards Dash.

“Here.” Dash grabbed the book and squealed in delight.

“Alright! Daring Do, here I come!” She started to fly off but froze when she noticed Storm Feather. “Uh…who are they?”

“I’m actually not sure, what are your names?” Twilight asked turning towards the two ponies.

“I’m Storm Feather. This is my sister, Ginger.”

“Storm Feather? But, I just heard her call you Jake.” Spike said raising an eyebrow.

“Jake’s my…nickname!”

“Oh! Like Dashie!” Spike explained to himself, getting an angry glare from Dash.

“I’m always up for a new Pegasus in town! Know any stunts?” Dash asked, jumping down from the window.

“Well…I know how to surf.” Dash raised an eyebrow. “But I’m not really that good at flying yet…” Jake said with a nervous grin.

“That’s cool, just go ahead and show me what you got.”

Jake nodded slowly and started flapping his wings. He found that flying actually came naturally with him. He eventually found himself doing barrel rolls and loop-dy hoops. All while Rainbow stood slack-jawed in front of him.

“I thought you couldn’t fly!”

“I guess I was wrong…” Dash narrowed her eyes at the now confident Jake. “…I guess I just didn’t fly in such a long time?”

“Ooh, ooh! Let me try!” Ginger started flapping her wings but barely got a few inches off the ground. “Aw!” Twilight wrapped a wing around the filly.

“Don’t worry, I can’t fly either.”

“Maybe that’s because Rainbow Dash is teaching you!” Jake joked, earning a hard glare from Rainbow.

“When did I tell you my name?” Jake shrugged. This was getting too easy!

“Everypony knows who you are!” He said, this time making Dash blush.

“I’m watching you!”

“I’ll be watching you as well!” He said with a smile, only earning a slap from Rainbow.

“I mean it!” Jake rubbed his cheek as Dash took off through the window.

“Worth it.” He said with a cheeky smile. His smile vanished when he was slapped by his sister.

“How DARE you treat Dashie that way!” She said stomping off in no apparent direction. Twilight lightly shook her head with a smile.

“Are you here for a book?”

“Actually…”

“We wanted to meet you!” Ginger said cutting him off. Twilight lightly blushed.

“Why would you come here just to meet me?” Her eyes shot wide open and she glanced to her wings. “Oh.” She said slightly annoyed.

“No, no. We just wanted to meet you because, well…” He leaned into Ginger’s ear. “Help me here!” Ginger nodded her head.

“We wanted to meet you because of…let’s see…Nightmare Moon…Discord…Chrysalis…King Sombra…That’s it!” Jake’s smile grew nervously.

“Oh!” Twilight smiled. “It was no trouble!”

“But it wasn’t! That way you shot Nightmare Moon with that giant rainbow! Turned Discord to stone! And that was after you returned all of your friend’s memories! AWESOME!” Jake enthused, slightly whinnying. Twilight blushed.

“Wait, how do you know all of that?”

“We watch it on the TV!” Jake slammed a hoof in Emily’s mouth.

“T…V?”

“Duh!” Ginger said pushing Jake’s hoof away. “Television!” Jake planted a hoof to his face.

“You must be REALLY new here.”

“Yeah… The TV has moving pictures! Like movies, but…shorter!” Twilight tapped her chin.

“Oh! So THAT’S what they’re called! They have those in Equestria?”

“No.” Jake knew what she was talking about, and it wasn’t a TV. “Was it a small square? With a keypad?” Twilight nodded. “That’s a computer!” He felt like banging his head on a wall.

“Hmm…Well if you ever want to meet my friends, just let me know!”

“We already met AppleJack!” Ginger said with a smile.

“And Pinkie…” Jake said with a tired frown.

“I’m not surprised!” Twilight said with a giggle. “How about you come over for lunch? I could invite all of my friends!”

“Could you pass up on Dash?” Jake asked sarcastically. Twilight giggled in response.

“I still can’t believe I have to spend my lunch with that…JERK!” Rainbow hovered over four other mares, which were on their way to the library.

“Come on, Rainbow! Ah thought he was nice!”

“Me too!” Pinkie said, bouncing up and down.

“You think everypony’s nice, Pinkie.” The mares all murmured in agreement.

“We’re here!” AppleJack opened the door before a strange creature opened the door with an eagle claw.

“Ladies,” Discord said, inviting them inside.

“Discord! What’re you doing here!?” Fluttershy demanded, relatively surprised.

“Oh! Well, I just LOVED setting up the table last time that Twilight invited me to be a waiter!” He enthused, a little TOO excited. “Plus,” He whispered into Fluttershy’s ear. “I was getting kind of bored with the Canterlot basement!” Fluttershy giggled causing Discord to smile. He leaped back into the air and snapped his tail. A poof of white smoke erupted before it cleared, revealing Storm Feather and Ginger. “Ladies and dragon! May I present our guests for tonight!” He said with a slightly evil chuckle. All of the mares smiled and walked inside being followed by tonight’s guests.

Discord frowned and grabbed the two ponies in the back.

“Hey! Put us down!”

“Oh, shut up.” Discord smiled. “I know where you come from…I know what you really are…and you don’t belong here!” Jake guessed it made sense that Discord made no sense. But he was a threat to a normal life in Equestria. But then again… Maybe Discord could get them back home.

“Why do you care!?” Ginger demanded from his lion arm.

“I can get you home. I’m not allowed though!” Discord growled. “You have to get me out of these cuffs!” He said, extending his wings…which had cuffs on them. “Then I can get you home!”

“How do we know you’re not going to take over Equestria again?” Ginger asked.

“Pfft! Please! It’s not worth it!” He said, bringing up a poison joke flower. “Take this to Celestia by the way…I’m not allowed anyway near her!” He disappeared and reappeared next to them, letting them fall to the ground. “You’re immune to the flower by the way, it only works on ponies...” He said walking away.

“I don’t trust him one bit!” Ginger said turning to Jake. She could see the gears turning in his head. “Jake?”

“He could get us home!”

“But…I don’t want to go home.” Jake sighed.

“I don’t know Emily…we need to return to everypony…WHAT!?”

“What?”

“I JUST SAID EVERYPONY!”

“Oh, and I forgot to mention…wait too long and I can’t help you!” Discord said, squeezing a clown nose on Jake. “Silly boy!”

Jake slowly walked into the dining room to be surprised by Twilight jumping out of her seat.

“Storm Feather! Are you okay?”

“I hope not…” Dash mumbled, getting a slap on the back of the head from AppleJack.

“Where were you, hayseed?”

“Just…talking…” Jake replied blandly. Dash mumbled incoherently under her breath, getting another slap from AppleJack.

“Would you stop that!?”

“Not unless you stop.” AppleJack said with an entertained smile.

“Sandwiches are ready!” Jake heard Spike yell from the kitchen. The small dragon walked out with a plate of PB and J sandwiches.

“YAY!” Ginger and Pinkie yelled in unison.

“I love PB and J!” Ginger said hopping into the nearest seat, which was unfortunately, for Dash, next to Dash. She scooted away a little only to be slapped by AppleJack again.

“OW! I didn’t even say anything!”

“Ah know…” Dash raised an eyebrow. “…I just had an excuse.” She said with a smile. Jake sat next to Rarity…well, tried to sit next to Rarity. Spike pulled the seat out from under him just in time for Jake to fall a lot farther than he had expected.

“Spikey!” Rarity gasped.

“Spike!” Twilight yelled disapprovingly.

“It’s okay Twilight.” Jake said lifting himself off the ground. “I guess I should’ve thought twice before sitting next to the prettiest mare.” Rarity blushed, but unbeknownst to everyone, Dash let out a snort of air.

“That’s right!” Spike said, arms crossed. “She’s taken!” All of the mares rolled their eyes at Spike.

“Sooooo…” Ginger leaned towards Dash. “Do any Sonic Rainbooms lately?”

“Uh…”

“Nevermind! I’ve seen enough!” Dash’s confusion was cut short by Jake.

“Where am I supposed to sit?”

“You can sit here Jake!”

“NO!” Everyone turned their attention towards Rainbow Dash. “Uh… I mean…Sit next to Twilight!” She blurted out, pulling her chair out from under her, placing it next to Twilight, and sitting back where she was on the floor. All before Twilight could say

“What!?”
