The road was paved with shades of gray, twilight blue, and slate as Garion drove silently in the car down the highway that afternoon. Thoughts of hopelessness fell through him as he pulled off onto the exit. They always do. Every day they always do. Screaming pain resided in the abyss of his mind that kept haunting him when he was not being caught off guard by something worth noting. The Road turned sharply to left, passing an accident that must have happened to a young driver who had sped too fast along the curb. Smoking and lined with cones and police cars, it heaped in a mess laid out smashed against the median several yards away from an overturned truck that must have been hit in the process. He carefully drove by while pushing the image out of his mind. Garion was a dreamer, which was pretty much all he was good at, besides drawing, singing, or doing anything that is useful to throw the images out of his mind into the world. But now, he was done pretending. This was life, and the road ahead only brought him back to the same little apartment that he wished he could magically turned into a house with a family that he could spend his life with, actually being happy. While many things could’ve been distracting him right now, the only thought going through his mind right now was that today he failed, and probably for the final time. Just what was his point in the world again, exactly? Fading away was every day for him. He had been desperately hoping that he had some bright future ahead of him. He had talent. He had things he wanted to show the world, but now… Shut up and watch the road, he thought to himself. Nevertheless he shared an apartment with Aaron, a skinny, unusual guy with glasses, who had an odd way of going completely insane to going berserk, and then to low temper. They had just met a few weeks ago and they lived in the same residence because they were both pursuing the same career and figured they may be able to help each other out somehow. Money management was a factor as well, because they both couldn’t afford having their own house. The defining difference between them was that Aaron was the type who just went out to take destiny into his hands rather than take the time to educate himself in the field like Garion. Neither one of them were successful. They weren’t really that close or even really knew each other’s backstory but they thought they might as well share the room since they were both doing the same thing in the same college. It was July 3, 2015 and Garion decided to drive out to Bellevue to pick up a few fireworks for Independence Day. Even though they both pretty much lost hope in achieving their lifelong dreams, there’s no reason why not to blow a few things up to ease the ire of their current situation. He pulled onto Cornhusker road to the nearest Walmart. There were always fireworks stands at the parking lot of Walmart at this time. He parked the car and walked out to one of the charity stands since the other booths were far beyond his financial state. There was only a little bit of money available in his pocket and that would be his last paycheck for a while. He pushed open the screen door and stepped into the wooden framed structure. There were a few tables but little fireworks. The cashier was the only person in the room besides him. “Hello and welcome!” she said cheerfully with a bright smile. “Hello,” he replied, turning away from her gaze when he could. There was a sign outside that told him that this stand was for the funding of a homeless shelter. These are the good places to go to. It’s always a nice sign for him to see people doing that kind of thing. She was short and thin and wore a dark hoody on her body. It had been cold that day, but Omaha had always seemed to be cold or cloudy in Garion’s mind. He gazed out around the room. There were only a few boxes of Smoke bombs, 2 parachutes and a few firecrackers. “Is this seriously all you got?” asked Garion. The lady sitting at the folding table said “Well you waited till the last day to pick these up. You should have taken the chance earlier.” And she closed her eyes. Garion glanced around and then looked back at the cashier, “But I could have sworn that I saw lots of people in here and stacks of fireworks piled on the tables just moments before I walked through the door.” “You may have just been daydreaming.” She said justly. Umm, No. I don’t think I was, Garion thought. But he sighed and said, “Fine I’ll take these,” and he took the parachutes, smokers, and whatever else and put them on the counter. “10 dollars” she said. Garion got out his wallet and pulled out the cash. She peered at him and he started feeling uncomfortable. “Hey, why do you look so glum? It’s a beautiful day,” she said. Garion looked out at the sky through the screen windows, “What are you talking about? It’s been overcast all Week. Anyway, it doesn’t matter.” “Sure, it matters.” “Well I’ve just not been having a very good day, or a significant life. It’s just sort of showing on my face today I guess.” “I understand, we all have those kinds of days.” He phased out and muttered to himself, “I wish…I wish” She put the items in a small bag and said, “Well, do you have close friends?” “Um, no” “Do you believe in Magic?” Garion looked at her for a moment, “Oh, well GEE! In this world?” he announced with an overly sarcastic voice, “Actually, yes. I can suppose there is. When I think of God, nature, music, and colors, it’s like a natural type of magic; an essence, like miracles. There are things that humans can truly explain and control and yet they are always there. They sure don’t come face to face with everybody. But I suppose that’s what magic is here. But why the heck do you ask?” Then he stopped and paused for a moment, “I’m pretty sure I could have sworn that there were people in here. I know I couldn’t be daydreaming…” At that time the lady’s mood seemed to change, “You know, there was another firework you may not have seen yet,” she said, pointing to the corner of the booth. Garion scanned his eyes over and took notice of a small, unremarkable little 12 barreled cylindrical looking thing lying in the shadows. He walked up and peered at it. “There’s no label.” Garion said flatly. “Well it doesn’t really require one.” “Whatever, How much is it?” “Three hundred.” “Three dollars?” “No, I said three hundred.” Was she just pulling a joke on him? “Are you being serious? The thing’s barely bigger than my fist.” The woman got up and shook her head saying, “Well that’s why no one ever takes it. But we always get one of these every 3 years from some far away supplier who always sends us one to use for our charity causes. But they insist that it’s worth ten times more than it looks and all the work and production they put into producing it makes it the only thing they can ever send. They won’t make anything else. So we price it high. But those who would buy it would have been a great help. I’m not at all trying to pressure you though. You don’t have to get it if you don’t want to.” And she sat back down, reading a magazine. Garion looked back at the little blue paper cardboard object that he held in his hand. Strangely enough, he actually felt like he had the urge to get it. He was the type of guy who though seems pessimistic about everything, still often keeps an eye out for anything unusual because he believes that nothing is impossible, it’s just that miracles prefer not to show themselves around him, for it was obvious that he saw people in there and there being not when he walks in means…what? And why not? He essentially failed his lifelong dream today and it wasn’t like he was going to get anything special with his money anyway. The homeless definitely need the money more than he did, obviously. He was also feeling so down that he just wanted to do something reckless for a change. “Do you want that in cash or in a check?” he asked. “Anything will do. Thank you, sir.” She replied happily, “and have a beautiful day.” … Despite having the nagging feeling that he was colossally ripped off today, surprisingly the day actually did look a little bit nicer. Clouds were beginning to let in the sun. And so Garion drove back home. His Apartment was just Past the Henry Doorly Zoo. He pulled into the parking lot, noticing that Aaron was already back from his work, his car being stationed in his usual parking spot. Garion set the brake and got out of the vehicle. Now that the clouds were gone, it was getting very hot. He opened the trunk, slung his backpack over his shoulder and took the bag of fireworks inside. His apartment was on the ground floor so all he had to do was walk into it through an outdoor fresh hold, except that it was locked. So now he had to walk through all the hallways just to get to his room. Unlocking the door, he entered into the living room. Aaron was sitting on the couch watching some random Anime. Garion put his stuff in his bedroom which was filled with books and posters and fantasy novels. He thought maybe of considering inviting Aaron to lighting them off tomorrow so that he might get to know him more “Hey Aaron, I bought some fireworks that I was going blast tomorrow. Did you want to join in?” “Uh, Sure Man. I have no auditions for the rest of this week. But I have to pay the monthly bill. Did you get enough pay for your share?” Aaron replied from the other room. Garion suddenly flipped. How could he have forgotten to pay the monthly rent!? How could he have been so stupid to throw away his money like that! How was he going to explain to Aaron that he had just spent over 300$ on fireworks! He just stood there frozen for a few seconds and awkwardly said, “Um, I don’t have any money.” “Wait, didn’t you get paid today?” “Yeah, but I uh….nnngh….um…We’re in trouble.” “What, why?” “We don’t have any money,” Said Garion, trembling. He was missing a firework: The blue one that he spent an arm and a leg for. Plus there was a hole in the bag. “What! What happened?” “I bought fireworks.” Garion said plainly, walking towards the living room window outside. There it was, he saw, sitting outside on the hot cemented parking lot in front of his car. “How much did it cost?” said Aaron, looking through the bag of fireworks, “There’s barely that much in here.” he then noticed Garion staring blankly at the window. Aaron walked up and looked out towards where Garion was staring at. Garion’s heart just kept racing as the fuse to the firework seemed to be emitting smoke. The sun was reflecting strongly off of the cement and cars. “How much did all of this cost?” demanded Aaron. “Three hundred and Ten Dollars,” Said Garion, feeling very stupid. “WHAT?!” Just then the fuse caught alight and silently the sparks followed the wick down into the little station. Garion and Aaron just stared at it, from behind the glass window. Then a single fireball shot out from the center of the top into the sky. And that’s all it did; didn’t even explode in the air or nothing. “So Garion, that was a pretty good prank there,” said Aaron. Garion just kept looking out the window. “I mean, if you had just burned 310 dollars in the atmosphere, we’re both screwed and most likely even worse,” Said Aaron, who then looked back into the bag, looking for the receipt. Once he found it, he threw the hardest punch he could into Garion’s Shoulder, “GARION!! You didn’t spend Three Hundred Dollars on that; you spent Three Hundred and Ten THOUSAND Dollars on it!!!” “WHAT!? That’s not what the cashier said! She said 300 dollars for that one firework and ten dollars for the rest!” “What kind of messed up firework stand did you go to!?” “It was for charity!” “DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE RECIEPT!?” “Um, no?” “Where did you come up with the money for it?! What the hell made you want to spend Three Hundred and Ten Thousand on THAT!?!” he shouted furiously. Garion looked at the receipt again, slight tears dripping, gulped and said, “I was feeling kind of reckless. And I spent it with credit.” At first Aaron just stood there looking off but then, “YOU IDIOT!” Aaron swung again at Garion, who backed up and picked up something off of the coffee table. Garion was feeling terrible. He couldn’t believe all of this crap had happened and that of all ways to mess up your life in one day, why like this? Now he was feeling even worse knowing now that he was causing severe problems for Aaron now too. All of a sudden a bright white light surged out of nowhere from everywhere, flooding the room with a cold aura as bright as day. The Silence of the Tension was replaced by a Low hum. The tone of the hum sounded pure, like it was indicating a cry from some innocent presence who was trying to communicate. Neither of them said anything, they just stood there in place looking all around them, lost in whatever emotion they might have had at such a time as this. It was just a very, very unexpected event and nobody would ever really know what to do. Garion Looked at Aaron who was holding his fist in the air like he was about to sucker punch him had the strange surge of light not have happened at that exact precise second. Then he noticed that the object he was holding in his hand was a book; and to think that he was just about to whack Aaron with that. Through the blinding vision of whiteness, a few seconds passed before they both watched themselves put their arms down, looking at each other strangely without speaking, as if in a dream. Something made them want to look at the door to their apartment. It seemed the source of the light was coming from behind it. And yet it was still bright enough to fill the whole room as if they were outside. Garion was the first to speak,”Uhh…I’m going to-g go out-on a-a-a limb here and say that-,” But Aaron just silently and slowly approached the door, looked at Garion, who nodded, and slowly touched the doorknob. The Sound of the Note that hung in the air seemed to grow stronger and more dramatic as he did so. He slowly gripped the doorknob, turned it, and let it swing open. White. Bright white light. The brightest white that Aaron had ever seen filled the whole doorframe. Not a cold, dead white like from snow, but a warm, living, singing white. “What happened to the street?” muttered Garion walking up beside Aaron. Of course he pointed out the more useless of the obvious details. They neither squinted nor flinched from the light. It just seemed to be there, a warm happy light. The tone lifted and hit a graceful chime that seemed to be the conclusion and sounded almost like it was urging them to walk through the door. As if following instructions, they both took a step through. Aaron went in first, but once the book that Garion had almost forgot he was holding in his hand had passed the threshold, the color on the cover fluctuated. At once, colors began rapidly swirling around them. Reds, blues, greens, all sorts of colors of many different shades spiraled around them like a vortex of abstract Emotion. Swooshing Sounds seemed like hammers or screwdrivers doing their job at building a little toy as the colors eventually began to take shape. Garion thought he noticed Hills and Mountains solidifying themselves along what would be a landscape of Green. Aaron made out trees off in the distance, now that the abstract objects seemed to take proportion. The whole situation was so beautiful and amazing, Garion didn’t dare to blink once or try to slap himself. He could not afford to have this turn out to be just a dream or have it disappear without him seeing the whole miraculous sight of it. He wouldn't even allow himself to cloud his mind with thoughts. If this was a dream, then he didn’t want it to end. All his life since he was a child he had wanted something amazing like this to happen. After what felt like an eternity but what actually had been maybe only a few minutes, the rushing wind died down as the last few drops of color zapped into place. Then it was silent. 10 minutes of silence later, “Wa.. wha.. what the hell just ha..happened?” Spoke Aeron dumbly. They were standing in a cartoon painting of what it appeared to be a lush green valley. Mountains lined the horizon and a forest seemed to stretch at their base all around them. They could make that out easily but the detail wasn't good. The grass they were standing on was just a blank stretch of green reaching out all around them, with a few circles bunched up in smaller circles to indicate flowers. Neither of them looked at each other or said a word, they just stood side by side looking at the landscape in front of them trying to process it in their minds. Blue Sky. White swirly clouds. “So Garion,” said Aaron. “Yeah?” “Do you notice anything weird?” “No, nothing weird at all. But I’m seeing something very unnatural” “Yeah, but do you feel anything weird?” “Not really. Wait… Now I think I see what you mean. How would you describe this feeling?” “I feel.….flat” “Really? Well that’s odd. I was going to say full of nausea from that experience. I think I even might ungh-” “No! I actually feel flat!” “Wa-what? Whoa! HOLY SNOT! What the heck happened to you!?!” “You’re a Cartoon!” “So are you!” “Dang!....nnngh....WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!???” shouted Aaron with all utter insanity. “I don’t know, it just….happened. Your eyes, they’re so huge! Your face, it looks like an upside down pentagon. Weird, your weird curly hair just looks like a black shape across your forehead with a curly line through it. And your acne’s all gone. It’s like you look ten times better. Hey, do you think that white light was an atomic explosion and we’re in heaven now and these are our heavenly bodies?-” “I’ll give you a heavenly body!” yelled Aaron as he socked Garion in the chest. Garion stumbled back a few steps . “Hey! I was just joking!” said Garion but Aaron stepped forward and swung at him again, missing. “You think this is a Joke! We’re standing in the middle of Who-knows-where. Our house is nowhere in sight! I can’t even begin to get the slightest clue of what is going on! I look like a nightmare! YOU look even worse!-” “Oh, turn that frown upside-down bro! Stop complaining! I don’t care why it happened, it HAPPENED! I’m just glad something if anything awesome turned up in my boring old life. This is flipping awesome. Besides, you don’t look too bad. Your flat-face makes you not look as scary when you’re mad!” “WORSE I’m Stuck in This World with You!” said Aaron Grabbing Garion by the Technicolor collar… Meanwhile, only about 50 feet away a small yellow Pegasus was just getting ready for the start of a wonderful new day. Fluttershy happily clopped down her cottage stairwell while birdies, mice and other small animals followed intently. “Good morning everyone, today is the first day of summer and I need to get you all fed so I can get ready to go Pinkie’s celebration party this afternoon,” she said blissfully. She fed each animal, making sure to carefully give the right amount of the right type of food to each individual creature. She did it every morning. She loved it. She just loved animals. After feeding Angel his carrots who afterwards bounded off by himself to eat his meal, she grabbed her watering can and chicken feed to go tend to the outside. Humming happily to herself, she pushed open her cottage door, trotted down to her chicken pen and fed them. After filling her watering can she trotted on over to her front garden and cheerfully watered the flowers. Oh, she was just so happy! It was the beginning of a beautiful brand new summer! The Sun was shining, the sky was bluer than ever, the flowers were fresh and ready to be eaten, the birds were chirping, the bees were buzzing, and two stick-like creatures were fighting each other off in the distance… “Eeh!” she dropped her watering can. Her knees were shaking. These creatures..... They looked quite dangerous and at first she was afraid they had returned from the last time... But she realized now that these creatures were different from the ones before; they were worse from the ones before! One of them was shouting something very horrifying at the other and now she was beginning to be afraid that they were the same creatures from before: angry and back for revenge, and now they were in solid form! She wanted to run but she couldn't. She had never faced these two legged beings before! They were screaming at each other and one was holding the other by the neck… ….Aaron was about to knock some crazy sense into Garion with his fist ready, when Garion just happened to point out, “Hey what’s that?” Aaron looked, and saw a small house not too far away a midst some trees and a creek amongst the outskirts of the forest, with what looked like a little yellow dear-thing with huge pink hair coming from its head and butt. And two big eyes. Eyes that looked straight into the deepest reaches of your soul. “What is that?” Said Garion before Aaron socked him in the face. Garion fell to the ground, still conscious, just very annoyed. Aaron took a small step towards it. Garion got up, forgetting the punch, and asked, “Should we go talk to it? Maybe we can find an explanation.” “I don’t know. It looks constipated.” “Do you think it saw us fighting and we scared it frozen in place?”… Fluttershy’s heart stopped. The two figures were now standing side by side staring straight at her! They saw her! Or maybe they hadn't seen her yet and only saw the house. Maybe if she just kept standing really still- “Um, Hello?” One of them spoke to her. THAT’S IT! Her rump swung behind her, her knees buckled and she bolted into the cottage, slammed the door and locked all 27 locks behind it. She ran upstairs, went into her bedroom, closed the door and dove beneath her blankets… …Meanwhile, Garion just looked at Aaron and said, “What the heck just happened?” Ep1: The Soul Spectrum Dimension PART 1: Into the spectrumEp1: The Technicolor Kingdom PART 1: Into the spectrum Episode 1: The Technicolor Kingdom Part 1: Into the spectrum Garion and Aaron looked around them. Here was a world that didn’t quite shout out “danger” and it seemed predictable that anyone would want to wander in a landscape like this. They both decided not to explore the cottage with the odd yellow thing that had run off, because whatever it was, it didn’t appear like it would be much help to them. They first decided to look for their house, because they realized that they had been walking without knowing when the universe was swirling around them, so they may have just simply wandered away from it rather than losing it. Aaron eventually spotted some kind of rectangle off in the distance, which turned out as they approached, to be a door 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. It was just a door frame standing in the middle of the ground with the door inside. And it was still open. Looking through they could see their living room on the other side; A portal between two dimensions. “Wonderful,” said Aaron looking inside, “It’s good to know that we can get home whenever we want to. Although now, I assume that we’ll meet a fawn and have to defeat a white-witch or something and become Kings.” “Dude, we’re not going back in there. Not now,” said Garion. “Well duh, of course. I’m sure certainly not going to be the one to pay for the disaster you caused us……What are you doing?” “Just locking the door to make sure nothing of this Universe gets in ours,” said Garion, reaching in with one arm to pull the door closed. He didn’t step in the room and probably would have used a stick to reach the doorknob if he could. He held onto the nagging little fear that if he walked in, the world would disappear behind him and he would never have another chance. He knew the rules, He read Narnia. “You’re trying to keep them out? And here we are invading their world,” said Aaron cynicaly, “Alright, well you may be getting all freaky and happy about all this, but I’m not going to be an idiot and frolic around naïve in a world I know nothing of. There could be insane dangers here.” “Yeah, like this world looks so dangerous” Said Garion, nudging a small cheesy little blossom on the ground with his foot. Garion opened the door, and looked through. Whether it was like a magic wardrobe, or a time-traveling tardis, it was a whole different world through the otherside. Just as an experiment, Garion went to the backside of the door, which was the side that they didn’t come out from and opened it. It just opened like a typical doorway in a non-magical world and only revealed the side where Aaron was standing, but when Garion walked around or peeked his head through the front side, the door appeared closed. He then closed the back and opened the front, so that they could see into their apartment and then walked around the door frame to the back. It still appeared closed on this side. It was like there were two doors in the same place, one being an active portal, while the other was an inanimate object, and yet both doors were the same object. “Try pulling both doorknobs. See what happens,” said Aaron. Garion put his hands on each side of the doorframe, cupping his hands over the knobs and attempted to turn them when the world suddenly began flashing and trees were looking distorted. Garion immediately stopped and yelped, for his mind had felt like it was being stretched apart. Everything instantly returned to normal once he let go. “I don’t think today’s a good day to divide by zero, Aaron.” “Yeah, don’t ever do that again,” said Aaron, who had his hands upon his head, like he was trying to contain his sanity. “Hey, I left my phone inside. Do you have yours? Check your connection and see if you still have it here.” Garion pulled out his iphone and was amazed to see that not only did it say it was connected, but it was also charging itself! After a brief moment of amazement it had finally occurred to Garion that they had a whole new amazing world laid out right before their eyes that they could explore and yet here they were obsessing over lame, typical objects from their own world. “Do you see that over there?” Aaron asked, peering over towards the low end of the valley amongst a few trees where a windmill could be seen spinning along with other low buildings clustered around it. So Aaron and Garion wasted no time in following the path to the upcoming town. They were approaching a creek that contained a small bridge going over it and a path that would lead from it to the town on the other side. Garion was humming some random song to himself when Aaron pulled him aside, inside a bush. It looked like a green blobby thing with a few leaves painted in random places, but felt like a real bush. Even more surreal, it absorbed them in like a typical cartoon where a character would dive in a bush and maybe pick it up and sneak around while spying on somebody. “What the heck are you doing?!” said Garion, uncomfortable with random twigs poking at him. “SSSHHH! Quiet!” said Aaron, peering outside through a small hole that appeared when he pressed his hand against the inner “wall” of the bush. “Did you see the color on bridge? And the buildings?” Garion peeked outside. “They look like typical renaissance cartoon buildings to me,” he said. “No, look at the doors and windows you idiot!?” Said Aaron, “They’re pink!” “So.” “With hearts……..All over…….In random places..,” Aaron hissed. “Well if it’s all girly, why are you acting all like Solid-Snake? Wait, is that a Giant Cake?” asked Garion. “I think that’s a house.” “Hmm, weird. I like this place already. Well, to be honest, we're more likely to find a place to sleep for free in a town filled with hearts than the city filled with knives. Better this than home, any day.” Said Garion, who then burst out of the bush, and walked across the bridge, leaving Aaron behind. He was just so glad that he wasn’t going to have deal with Earth anymore! No more doubt! No more staring up at the stars at night feeling lonely. No more dealing with cruel people who cared for nothing other than what they wanted for their own. Here was a miracle he was walking through. It was the greatest gift any man or women could ever receive from God. The place looked friendly enough. Full of sunshine, blue skies, summery trees and happy windmills. What kind of people here could possibly be cruel to him here. He didn’t want to hold back. He quickly ran up to the town and closed his eyes, breathing in the fresh spring air. Then he opened his eyes, and stood there dumbfounded… Aaron on the other hand, was not having such a wonderful day, despite the pleasant change in the normal earthly routine of everything magical being just imagination. And now that he knew that it wasn’t imagination, he was pretty ticked off at Garion who had seemed to be growing a strong reputation for running straight into dangerous situations recklessly with utter enthusiasm all over today. It was also ironic concerning that usually it was him who had the spontaneous attitude normally and Garion was the boring person who constantly kept to himself, reading books, listening to music, and drawing rather than interacting. Now Aaron had to catch up with him. Quickly he followed Garion down the path as quickly as he could manage, over the small pink bridge, and to where he was now standing. “Hey, Garion! Be carefull! We don’t know what kind of people we may run into-” and then he saw what Garion was staring at…. “Uhhh…” Everywhere around the town, on the streets and in the houses, and in between the buildings were little creatures that appeared very equine, but also just barely humanoid, as they had human like manes dressed in humanoid fashions. They came in every freaking color that Aaron could think of; at least the lighter shaded ones with some darker shades, but very few blacks, reds, dark browns or greys. Their hooves appeared to end in stubs, with the bottoms cut in a flat shape which confused Aaron because it was solidly colored and made it almost look like there would be fuzz all over. Even so, he spot one big red pony pulling a cart whose fur on his hooves receded back to show yellow bottoms which told him that they were in fact hard and not plushy. They had readable facial expressions and their “faces” were so due to the fact that they had abnormally small noses for horses. They were also very small, the average standing maybe as tall Aaron’s chest from the top of their heads. They seemed to be civilized, obviously, with the houses and all and apparent busy lifestyle that Garion had intruded on. The buildings were built halfway to their scale as oddly some objects like tables were human sized while Doorways and rooms were short for their size. Some of them wore clothes and some of them didn’t, which Aaron didn’t know what to say about. Stranger yet, they each had a particular symbol on their butt that was different than all the others. Bowling pins, Clocks, flowers, bubbles, cheese…. They each showed up on the sides of their flanks. They had freakishly big eyes that took up a lot of space on their faces, which was creepy because every single one of them were staring straight at Garion and Aaron at this moment. They all stood there frozen in whatever thing they were doing looking at the two creepy looking creatures that stood menacingly before them. Garion was just standing with his mouth open. Aaron thought he might as well join him. “Um…Hi-” Garion attempted to say hello but Aaron hit him before he could begin. “Don’t! Remember what happened the last time you tried to do that?” whispered Aaron. Aaron turned slowly towards their audience. He threw a piece sign. “Ahhh!” They all shouted as one as each and every one of them darted all over the place, running inside random buildings, closing doors, knocking over flower stands, picking up little…whatever they would they call their kids. They panicked, they screamed, they ran. Soon enough, shops were abandoned, carts were left unattended and Aaron and Garion were alone on the deserted streets. “Gosh, why does this keep happening?!” asked Aaron “Are we really that hideous?” said Garion who was for some reason pondering their odd way of defending themselves under attack. He had only been joking when he said that they looked like flat geometrical shapes. They actually looked very closely to their real world selves, and everything here, though cartoony, were still 3-D enough for them to perceive distance and such like their normal world dimension. Garion was feeling slightly nervous. Hearts. Pink. Flowers. Sparkles. Rainbow colored-, “Dude. Ponies,” he said, trembling with dread, “They’re My Little Ponies.” “No they’re not. My little Ponies have noses much bigger than that. I’m just gonna say that these are just little multicolored ponies that wear clothes and live in houses and like putting feminine touches on everything,” asserted Aaron, looking up at a high-ish window on one of the straw-roofed buildings. Ponies were staring down at them. “The Horror!” they said. “The Nightmares!” they said. “They returned!!” a little one said. Garion looked down and thought, well so much for a nice happy town of….people. He looked at Aaron and said, “Well somebody’s got to be in charge of protecting this place. I would wonder how this place keeps in order in situations like these. Eventually we must run into somebody.” So Garion led the way amongst the fallen carts and over the exaggerated wreckage of fruit stands and booths. Not bothering to look at the strange creatures inside the houses, he came upon quite a few instances where he actually felt kind of bad for just marching through their town and scaring them all silly like that. Maybe it was just a metaphorical way of showing how humans were really that terrible of a species. He couldn’t even say hi friendly enough. Aaron noticed something about the creatures in the windows that he didn’t see before. Some of them had short spiraling horns on their heads and some with small wings on their sides. Ok, so that was kind of cool. There were Unicorns and Pegasus’s in this world as well. What else? Garion continued trekking around until he passed by an unusually large tree 30 feet away that appeared to actually be a house with doors, windows, and balconies. All of a sudden the front door to the tree house burst open and a lavender colored pony ran out. “Alright, you fowl creatures!” she yelled, “Turn around and head back where you came from or you’ll learn what happens when you terrorize innocent towns!” she was a different pony. She had Both wings and a horn which stuck out through her mane which was straight navy blue with a pink and purple highlight that went straight down. It was the same with her tail. Her Mane was cut evenly to appear that she had bangs, and she had large sparkling violet eyes that Garion could see with amazement from where he was standing. “Wait a minute! She’s a Unicorn! No, a Pegasus? She’s a winged….unicorn….thingy!” said Garion, ecstatic. “She looks kind of ticked,” said Aaron plainly. “Yeah, well…uh…I guess I would be too if...but anyway, those eyes…. She looks pretty intelligent compared to the others. Hopefully, we’ll get some help from her.” “Actually, she looks like she’s about to shoot something at you,” Remarked Aaron, noticing the pulsing orb glowing from the Unicorn’s horn. For whatever reason, neither one of them had the common sense to evade but then again, a cute little violet pony just didn’t throw enough of a threat to them. The pulse from the horn quivered and flashed until it shot out a beam of white light. When it caught them, it enveloped them in a swirling cloud of purple and red. They felt sort of crazy, probably because they weren’t expected anything like this to happen. At first it was like their bodies were being condensed but then it was replaced with normal density. It all only lasted for a brief second. The feeling quickly died away and they found themselves standing once again on the dirt street. “Why the heck did she shoot us?!” exclaimed Garion, freaking out now. He looked down at the ground, seeing that it was closer than normal, “Oh my gosh! She freaking shrunk us!” They had indeed, approximately 7 and a half inches smaller. “Well, there is one bright side behind this,” said Aaron, watching Garion jump up and down like an idiot, “At least now I don’t feel as awkward around these objects.” Slowing down, Garion remarked,“Hmm. You’re right. We’re in scale now. But what the heck!?” The purple Unicorn looked like she had been trying to fly, but apparently didn’t know fully well how to, and tumbled down from six feet in the air. She resorted to running and looked better doing so, and when she finally approached them it was evident that they were as tall as the very top of her “hair”. They were a little shocked to see themselves eye to eye level. Now, she actually looked a little intimidating. She approached and exclaimed, “What! That shock spell was supposed to send you running away! I must have not focused my quadra-senses to 38 units of sparkle-” Then she stopped and just stared at them. She glanced at Garion, then switched to Aaron, and back to Garion. “WHAAT!?” she screamed, “But how did you…Ahhhhh!” Aaron had enough, “ALRIGHT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WILL PEOPLE JUST TALK TO US FOR ONE MOMENT?!!!” “Omygoshomygoshomygoshomygosh!” She continued bellowing, suddenly happy, “How did humans get in Equestria!? I thought that the Mirror Portal was Closed! The moon passed over! We wouldn’t be able to have contact for another 30 Moons!” “What?” said Garion sadly, “I’m so confused.” “Omygosh! This is so amazing! How did you guys do it? How did you get through? Did you go to Canterlot high?” “What? What? What? Please slow down!” “No! First, why did you shoot us?” Aaron asserted. “Because you were attacking the town!” answered the Unicorn. “No we weren’t! We just walked in and everybody scattered!” The unicorn looked up at the nearest building and noticed the ponies hiding behind shaking in fear at them, “Oh dear,” Looking down in frustration, she muttered, “I apologize. I thought this town had all learned not to judge ponies like that. There’s an explanation-” “Yeah well, oddly enough, we’re not ponies and so I guess we’re not welcome here,” commented Aaron. The Unicorn quickly perked up and said, “No! That’s not what I’m talking about. This town did the same thing when Zecorra the zebra first came into Ponyville.” Aaron gave a look at Garion. Ponyville? Good lord. “They’ve been pretty good about it since then but I guess that the first time I saw a human, it was pretty terrifying. It was myself actually, but we can fix that! I was in the middle of an experiment when I heard all the shouting and mayhem outside, so I just naturally came out to defend them. Sorry about the size mix up. But first I’ve got to know how you two got here. I mean, without any magic, how could a few humans do it?” said the pony with a happy smile “As if we know,” said Aaron. “Come on, we can introduce ourselves at the library. The longer the townspeople stare at you, the longer they’ll make assumptions out of you and I need to make it look like we’re together. And I might be able to find information in books if anything else. Follow me!” She ran them back toward the tree where a sign with the picture of a book stood outside. “Whoa! This tree is a library!?” Garion remarked. There were just no ends to the surprises here. “Yep! It’s the library where I work and my home!” she said cheerfully. “Far out!” Opening the front door, she stepped into a wide circular room that was the internal trunk of the gigantic oak. All the features in the house seemed to have been grown in with the tree, such as the curving staircase following the wall and the bookshelves lining the walls themselves. In the middle stood a table with a wooden carved equine statue head sitting on top. She glowed her horn and suddenly two cushions suddenly flew through the air. It was kind of obvious that she was controlling their movements from her horn. Except that she was so excited that she accidently knocked Aaron in the head with one of them and caused him to fall to the floor. She placed the pillows down on the floor in front of them, offered as seating. “Sorry about that, just being a little clumsy. Let me just calm down for a moment,” She apologized, slowing down a bit. Sitting back down, she took a deep breath, moving her front hoof like an arm to and away from her chest. Aaron was still rubbing his head from the impact. She slowly explained, “First let me introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle, but you may have already known that, as I am the one who saved your world from possessive enslavement from a pony named Sunset shimmer who snuck through from this world into your world as a human and blah blah blah blah blah blah something about a mirror blah blah blah a crown....” Aaron tried to share glances with Garion but the kid was looking intently at the crazy unicorn, evidently trying to understand what she was saying but having severe difficulty. He chuckled to himself as this whole situation was kind of funny. One moment he’s living his life on Earth trying to get mental inspiration from watching a Baccano anime thinking about the easiest way he can get a job to support his financial problems and then the next thing he knows, he’s in a rainbow world sitting in a tree watching Garion sweat himself to death trying to understand a crazy talking Unicorn. “….And so, we left Sunset in the arms of your world so you can teach her how to actually make friends the right way. You must know who I am,” Finished Twilight. Garion blinked a few times before saying “Uh, ok. I don’t know what crazy world you fell into, but there are no multicolored humans in my world. Humans don’t come in blues, greens, or purples. They occasionally dye their hair color but no excessive amounts of rainbow people or knee high boots, sorry.” “Sure there are. I was there in one of your “School” countries,” persisted Twilight. She seemed pretty sure of herself and wore a tone of self-intelligence within her voice. “What?” “Ok, let me put it this way. This is something that one of our scientists have theorized: parallel dimensions. While they normally don’t exist in a natural state, the law of the parallel universe is that the two are different but follow the same direction of events and plotlines. For example, Our princess is the ruler of this country and in your world she’s a principle but she’s a human because of the range of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah….” Aaron put a hand to his head. This may take a while. “…..And so since Equestria is big and takes up a third of our world and Canterlot high is small, that must mean that your world is very, very small. So chances are, word would be able to get around easily, so you must have heard about me,” she concluded. “Nope,” said Aaron. “I think that we would have most likely heard about a school with so many colorfully named students at some time,” said Garion, “And certainly about a giant demon trying to take over the human race and another alternate dimension. But we didn’t, sorry. And our world is definitely much bigger than a few highschools.” “But that doesn’t make sense,” remarked Twilight. “Yeah well life wasn’t designed to make sense, Twilight Sprinkle,” said Aaron. “Twilight Sparkle.” “Oh, sorry.” “Anyway, stay here and let me just go find a book about the theories of inter-dimensional space. It won’t take that long,” said Twilight sparkle, who turned around and trotted up the stairs. Garion saw Aaron looking at him weird, “What?” “The next time you buy one of those fireworks, make sure to ask the cashier which next door neighbor universe it leads to, so that next time we don’t land in girly Strawberry shortcake land.” “Equestria; And it’s not that bad. If you don’t like it, here’s the key to our apartment.” “Why couldn’t we have landed in a pokemon world or something else?” “I would hate to be stuck in a pokemon world.” “Yeah, well….Fu-” “DON’T you dare! We got happy friendly ponies surrounding us! You crazy!?” Aaron just paused at this for a moment, thinking. “Yes! Why don’t you go spoon your underwear!” “Go slap a duck!” “Go wrestle a chair!” “Salute a fire hydrant for all I care! Where are you going?” “To the forest or something.” “But Twilight said to stay here,” said Garion “Just face it, she’s crazy.” “Oh come on! If she’s crazy, then how was she able to use a seriously scientific theorem?” “Like I said, she’s crazy.” “This place has giant houses made of cake! CAKE, man!” “I might come back for that, but I’m not staying here waiting for someone to explain something I’m not going to care about, not that it wasn’t fun enough getting hit in the head with a hard pillow, but I’m going to see what the rest of the world has to show before I lose my mind.” “You’re probably too late,” said Garion, but Aaron had already left the door. Debating whether or not if he should be worried, he came back to the memory that most of the people (or ponies as they all are apparently) they’ve talked to so far have ran away screaming so he should be fine. Then again, there was Twilight Sparkle who had actually tried to attack them… Twilight returned back down the steps with her tail bobbing slightly behind her as she descended and approached. “What happened to that other guy?” “He left.” “What?” “He just left.” “Why?” “He got bored.” “Are you kidding me?” “Well he said he might come back.” Twilight groaned and said, “Which direction did he go?” “He said he was going to the forest?” Twilight’s eyes grew big, “Wait, which forest? The Everfree forest by Fluttershy’s house or the paradise glades around where the southern outskirts are?” “I don’t know. Who’s fluttershy? What does it matter?” Twilight ran up close to Garion so that she was just inches from his face, which freaked the heck out of him, “Because!” she said sternly, “there are dangerous things out there! Things that can seriously hurt you!” “Like what?” “The Everfree forest is one of the most wild and untamed habitats in the surrounding region! Poison joke! Timber wolves! Cragadiles! River boggers! Mudskippers! Wisps, and cockatrices that can turn you into stone!” “Ok….,” said Garion. This was an unexpected turn that he would not have imagined seeing in this world. Which forest did Aaron say he was going? How serious was a cragadile compared to a human? “I’m starting to worry.” Ep1: The Soul Spectrum Dimension PART 2: Twilight SparkleEp1: The Technicolor Kingdom PART 2: Twilight Sparkle Episode 1: The Technicolor Kingdom Part 2: Twilight Sparkle “Who’s Fluttershy?” asked Garion. The bizarre scenario of talking to a sparkly unicorn with wings continued to pull at his senses and caused everything to be harder to focus. Slowly, but eventually, he managed to chew his words out to the best of his abilities. “She’s a shy yellow Pegasus who lives by herself in a small, earthy tree house cottage on the outskirts of town,” said Twilight earnestly. Garion’s mind went back to the yellow pony they encountered when they first arrived. “Um, I…I think we actually came by her when we arrived…. She ran away when I said hello.” Twilight smiled briefly and walked quickly over to a bookshelf to pick out random books with her magic, “Well it would actually seem to be a normal thing for Fluttershy to be timid around other ponies, but I don’t know why she would run away from a hello.” “Well… I was… We were…uh….” “Yes?” Garion was unsure about how to relay this the right way. Would she care if she knew they were fighting or not? How forgiving would she be? He didn’t want to bring stress to her about how aggressive they really were, since he had just convinced her that they had meant no harm. But his gut told him to that honesty was the thing to do here, hoping that she wouldn’t take it offensively, “I think she caught me and Aaron fighting.” Only a simple awkward pause followed. Twilight continued looking through her books. “How are you doing that?” he asked. “Levitation, it’s an ability that most unicorns are born with,” said Twilight with kind of a puzzled expression, “So why were you fighting?” she asked, skeptically but not unkindly, finally selecting a scroll from the top shelf. She then carried the scroll within the purple aura of her magic and set it on the table. “It’s a long story. A long, stupid story. But it was nothing to do with this world. But nevertheless, it all happened because of me, with my dumb personality and me being stupid today. And yet still, here I am in a scenario more unexpected and bigger than I could ever dream of. The whole fabric of reality as I knew it changed in an instant today! I’m either going CRAZY or I’ve ALREADY LOST IT. Tell me, DO MY EYES LOOK SANE TO YOU? AM I DREAMING!?” “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…………...” “Don’t answer that! If it’s a just a dream, then I like it. Please don’t answer it if it is! I want this to be real.” “Well okay then! But really, you’re awake…it’s not a dream…Oh, never mind.” Twilight wore a very worried expression on her face but didn't pursue the topic. Whoever this person was, he sure must not have been very happy before. Or maybe he just needed to calm down. She had so many questions she wanted to ask him, but obviously now was not the time. She walked over to the window to see the status of the town. Ponies were cautiously walking around picking up carts and cleaning up messes. She hoped that they had been realizing their overreaction and were trying to come back to their senses. She walked back to the table and beckoned Garion over. “By the way, I never got your names,” she asked. “Oh. I..I’m Garion…. And the other guy is Aaron,” he replied. “Well, pleased to meet you, Garion.” She said with one of the most warmest smiles that he had ever seen. “Wow, really? I mean, even after the chaos I just caused?” said Garion, suddenly feeling down about the fact that he had just entered a world supposedly without humans and already within a few hours just two humans had caused a whole town of innocent ponies such distress. “It’s no trouble at all, really. Things like these happen more frequently than you would expect. They probably just though you were…Never mind. Anyway, those are interesting names,” she commented. “Yeah, they’re not as inspirational as Twilight Sparkle or anything,” he didn't really mean it as a serious compliment but nevertheless it appeared to make her glow a bit when he said that. “Anyway, Aaron couldn't have gone very far, we might be able to reach him before he actually walks into any danger. But first I need to know what you've seen since you've been here so that I might be able to guess where he’s gone.” She gestured to the scroll on the table, and unrolled it with her magic. “This is the map of Equestria. We live in the country in the northwestern quadrant over here, north of the equator and west of the meridian. On this coast to the east is where one of our countries most bustling and thriving cities, ManeHatton lies. And in the central western basin is where Appaloosa is. The Midwest is mostly flat lands and hilly terrain with lots of trees. In the western region going north and south are a range of mountains inhabited by dragons. In the very center of the country on a mountain is where Equestria’s Capital, Canterlot lies. And just south of that is the little valley where Ponyville rests. You can actually see the castle on the mountain from here.” Garion’s reaction to this was that if the laws of a Parallel Universe were actually applied here, then this was almost spot on, “Wow. That’s just amazing.” “I know right? Maps are wonderful tools. Just looking at all the labels and land features is such a spectacular way of knowing your land,” she said cheerfully. “No, I mean…well yeah, but…what I meant was that the Map of this area of Equestria looks just like a map of America, the country I come from. Except that Las Pegasus over here is Las Vegas and Phillydelphia up here is Philadelphia in my world, or at least those are two of the parallels I’m seeing here.” Twilight stopped, and a huge freaky smile appeared on her face. “Uh, why are you staring at me like that?” Garion now was beginning to get worried. “That’s amazing! Tell me what they look like! I wonder if their physical geography looks similar to my world as well!” She said with such glorious enthusiasm, she caused Garion to almost fall back. Whoever this lady was, she probably must have too many tea parties and cupcakes for breakfast, but then, she didn't actually seem like the stereotypical girly pony that he thought her to be originally. “Well..I’ve never visited that many other places before and only seen photographs of most famous sites. You see, I live in the middle here, in the central area of America in Omahoof Neighbraska - well, in my world it’s Omaha Nebraska.” “So that would explain why you appeared in this area of Equestria. THAT IS, if you spontaneously appeared here.” “Actually, it seemed like this world spontaneously appeared to us. It looked as if we were witnessing a creation of new world.” Twilight put a hoof to her chin in deep thought. “But that may have been probably just us stepping into the other dimension, and I guess-the world was just changing? Obviously it wasn’t created just a few hours ago.” “Well, duh. The molecules of your dimension were probably just readjusting yourselves to the different dimension. Not the world being created. That would mean that your world looks VERY compared to this.” “You’re right. It does.” “So how did you mean to get here and why?” “Actually…..I never….really meant to and it was a complete accident, to be honest.” Suddenly Twilight Sparkle’s excitement dimmed, “You mean, this was never intended?” “Nope,” “You weren’t responsible for this?” “This whole thing is one huge insane event that has knocked us both out of our wits since we’ve been here. I’m still questioning my sanity. This couldn’t have been a dream because I can obviously consciously think my own thought process and blah blah blah blah.” Twilight was confused by all this. If they hadn’t intended this then who or what did? “Do you have magic in your world?” she asked. “…..And the door of our apartment is still standing there in the air, and we can walk through it back into our world if we wanted, which is also crazy.” “Wait, what!?” “Huh?” “What did you just say?” “What did you just say?” “You first.” “No, you asked first.” “Fine! Do you have magic in your world?” “Sure, we got music, colors, sunsets, what else?” “No like, tangible magic. The kind that you control.” “Only if it came from God himself,” he said, feeling a little awkward suddenly. “Alright, fine! Now what did you just say before?” “I forgot.” “How could you have forgotten? It was only a few seconds ago!” “Wait, oh yeah! Now I remember. I was just saying that this couldn’t have been a dream if-” “No after that!” “-I was saying that I would have thought of a better way to walk into town if I only-” “No, no, no! After that, the part about the portal or something,” Said twilight, stamping her hooves on the ground with utter frustration. “Oh that? Sorry, I should have known that was what you meant. How silly of me. It’s the door to our apartment that we came through to get here. On one side it’s our world and on the other it’s yours. It’s standing somewhere in one of the fields beyond this town.” Twilight’s expression got bigger. “So we’ve just been around exploring. Can you please put me back to my original size again?” he asked, now starting to freak. At this size they may be head to head level, but her eyes were HUGE! And whenever she made that excited expression, they got even bigger. These were the type of eyes that looked straight into you too. Not like a pair of human’s eyes that you could possibly avoid looking into when communicating, no, there was no way to avoid the soul piercing gaze of the eyeballs that these ponies held in their faces. “I can’t, at least not yet. It was an accident that I managed to shrink you two. I was trying to perform something else. It was a spontaneous reaction that it happened, and until I figure out why my spell didn’t work on you, it will be too risky to try to reverse. And even if I could do it now, I would need to have the both of you in the same place. But since your friend has run off into who knows where, the wide range in distance between you two would potentially expel all the energy I have in me and possibly kill me.” “Oh. Forget about it then, it can wait. I don’t want to cause you to get hurt,” said Garion awkwardly, “So we have to get Aaron.” “Of course we have to get him! Without any magic, or wings, or any strong abilities-no offence-he’s going to die out there by himself!” said twilight, “And when they find him, I’ll have to take you two to Princess Celestia. You don’t know spectacular this situation is!” “You’re right, and I’m still trying to comprehend the reality of all of this too- wait a minute, don’t you mean we’ll go find him. Who’s ‘they?’” “I’m going to send AJ and Rainbow Dash to go find him. We’re going to check out your Portal to make sure it’s secure enough that nothing from our world can get into your world and obliterate it.” “What?” “Your world has no magic and our world is very dangerous so if anything like a parasprite, tiger, dragon, or even a bear gets into your world, who knows how many of your kind will get hurt?” “UUUUHHHHhhhhhhhhh…….” “Don’t worry, Aaron will be fine. If there were anypony whom you could rely on to protect you, its Applejack and Rainbow Dash!” Garion was just freaking out. It would have never occurred to him that the impression he gave the ponies was that humans in real life were harmless, defenseless beings. And now there was the threat that these innocent creatures would have contact with the human world! The human race would DESTROY these creatures! “Alright, now let’s go.” Twilight quickly lifted some random saddle bag out of nowhere and started putting tools, food, and other assorted items that may help with scavenging and searching for some, and then placed it on her back. The saddle bag, though, brought some distressed confusion to Garion, “Uh, Twilight?” She had been on the ground synching up the ropes with her mouth. “Yes?” “Uh.. Where did you get… How did you get…. Um, weren’t there supposed to be no hu-….. Nevermind.” Twilight Sparkle motioned him towards the door to start going, and before he could put his hand on the doornob, the door flew open slamming him against the wall behind. The book that he had forgotten he was holding in the pocket of his hoodie had been thrown out and landed on the floor. A pink blur of something flew past into the room, stopping spot in front of Twilight, taking the form of a pink pony with a crazy mane. “Oh, hey Twilight!” said the pink mare. “Pinkie!” “Sorry, I came in to welcome your new friend into Ponyville, and to apologize for how we reacted when we saw him...” “Pinkie!” said twilight, moving the door aside from Garion, using her magic. “Oh, my bad!” said Pinkie Pie. “It’s okay,” said Garion, rubbing a bruise on his forhead. “I didn’t know you were standing there. I guess I should have knocked.” “Who are you?” “My name’s Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?” “Uh, my name’s Garion.” “Darion?” “No, Garion.” “Gary?” “Gare-ee-un.” “Can I just call you Gary?” “No,” this actually happens almost every time Garion introduced himself but he was used to it. For some odd reason, the majority of people who couldn’t get his name right always insisted on calling him ‘Gary’ instead for some odd reason, which he thought was annoying. “Alright, Garion. I just came to apologize for our being not-so-nice when you first arrived. We thought you were those creepy shadow monsters that attacked our town last week. You two kinda looked just like them, but you two were standing in thin air, and every pony knows that shadows like to lie on the ground or lean against walls. They never like to stand up!” “What?” “It’s an odd story, but I’ll save that for a better time,” said Twilight. “What kind of Crazy world do you live in!?” “Please calm down! We’re trying to help you.” “Okay, um-” “Call me Pinkie Pie.” “Okay, um Pinkie Pie, did you happen to see another guy, a human like me, go by somewhere?” “Oh yes! I came to him first after he left the library! I apologized to him, sang him a song, then offered him a cupcake, but he just stuffed it in his mouth and said ‘My stomach is burning red, the cupcake sooths me to victory. Giant yummy Cupcake.’ And then he walked off.” “What?” “I don’t know, but he sure loved my cupcakes!” “Quick Pinkie, do you know which direction he went?” asked Twilight. “Well first he tripped over a bucket and then he started going up North.” “Can you go find Spike and tell him that his day off is going to have to be postponed?” “Sure thang!” “Good, and if you can find Applejack and Rainbow dash, would you please tell them that we’re missing a friend and he’s probably gone north into the Everfree forest?” “I’m on it like chocolate on ice-cream!” said Pinkie Pie, bring her hoof to her forehead in a salute, “That reminds me: Garion, would you like some ice cream?” said pinky pie, bringing a big glass bowl out of nowhere with a scoop of vanilla and chocolate syrup all over and shoved it to Garion’s face. “Sure?” he took the bowl awkwardly. “Well, gotta go! See ya, Garion!” and then the pink pony ran out the door as sudden as she came in. Meanwhile, Twilight found the fallen book on the floor. “Is this your book?” she asked, opening it and scrolling through the thin pages, “Wow! That’s a lot of words!” “Yes, it’s mine! Can you leave it there for now? We gotta check that door!” he said hastely. “Oh yes, Right! No time to waste!” she carefully laid the book on the table, and the two of them ran hastily out the door. The sun was rising high in the sky and the town was beautiful with flowers and a blue sky was painted with swirling tufts of clouds above. This is nice, Garion thought, After we get Aaron, I think I can be able to get along here very well, then he stopped and realized, I have to go use the bathroom...

Prequel/intro: Crossing BarriersThe Soul Spectrum Dimension Prelude/Intro: Crossing Barriers Today Sucked. The road was paved with shades of gray, twilight blue, and slate as Garion drove silently in the car down the highway that afternoon. Thoughts of hopelessness fell through him as he pulled off onto the exit. They always do. Every day they always do. Screaming pain resided in the abyss of his mind that kept haunting him when he was not being caught off guard by something worth noting. The Road turned sharply to left, passing an accident that must have happened to a young driver who had sped too fast along the curb. Smoking and lined with cones and police cars, it heaped in a mess laid out smashed against the median several yards away from an overturned truck that must have been hit in the process. He carefully drove by while pushing the image out of his mind. Garion was a dreamer, which was pretty much all he was good at, besides drawing, singing, or doing anything that is useful to throw the images out of his mind into the world. But now, he was done pretending. This was life, and the road ahead only brought him back to the same little apartment that he wished he could magically turned into a house with a family that he could spend his life with, actually being happy. While many things could’ve been distracting him right now, the only thought going through his mind right now was that today he failed, and probably for the final time. Just what was his point in the world again, exactly? Fading away was every day for him. He had been desperately hoping that he had some bright future ahead of him. He had talent. He had things he wanted to show the world, but now… Shut up and watch the road, he thought to himself. Nevertheless he shared an apartment with Aaron, a skinny, unusual guy with glasses, who had an odd way of going completely insane to going berserk, and then to low temper. They had just met a few weeks ago and they lived in the same residence because they were both pursuing the same career and figured they may be able to help each other out somehow. Money management was a factor as well, because they both couldn’t afford having their own house. The defining difference between them was that Aaron was the type who just went out to take destiny into his hands rather than take the time to educate himself in the field like Garion. Neither one of them were successful. They weren’t really that close or even really knew each other’s backstory but they thought they might as well share the room since they were both doing the same thing in the same college. It was July 3, 2015 and Garion decided to drive out to Bellevue to pick up a few fireworks for Independence Day. Even though they both pretty much lost hope in achieving their lifelong dreams, there’s no reason why not to blow a few things up to ease the ire of their current situation. He pulled onto Cornhusker road to the nearest Walmart. There were always fireworks stands at the parking lot of Walmart at this time. He parked the car and walked out to one of the charity stands since the other booths were far beyond his financial state. There was only a little bit of money available in his pocket and that would be his last paycheck for a while. He pushed open the screen door and stepped into the wooden framed structure. There were a few tables but little fireworks. The cashier was the only person in the room besides him. “Hello and welcome!” she said cheerfully with a bright smile. “Hello,” he replied, turning away from her gaze when he could. There was a sign outside that told him that this stand was for the funding of a homeless shelter. These are the good places to go to. It’s always a nice sign for him to see people doing that kind of thing. She was short and thin and wore a dark hoody on her body. It had been cold that day, but Omaha had always seemed to be cold or cloudy in Garion’s mind. He gazed out around the room. There were only a few boxes of Smoke bombs, 2 parachutes and a few firecrackers. “Is this seriously all you got?” asked Garion. The lady sitting at the folding table said “Well you waited till the last day to pick these up. You should have taken the chance earlier.” And she closed her eyes. Garion glanced around and then looked back at the cashier, “But I could have sworn that I saw lots of people in here and stacks of fireworks piled on the tables just moments before I walked through the door.” “You may have just been daydreaming.” She said justly. Umm, No. I don’t think I was, Garion thought. But he sighed and said, “Fine I’ll take these,” and he took the parachutes, smokers, and whatever else and put them on the counter. “10 dollars” she said. Garion got out his wallet and pulled out the cash. She peered at him and he started feeling uncomfortable. “Hey, why do you look so glum? It’s a beautiful day,” she said. Garion looked out at the sky through the screen windows, “What are you talking about? It’s been overcast all Week. Anyway, it doesn’t matter.” “Sure, it matters.” “Well I’ve just not been having a very good day, or a significant life. It’s just sort of showing on my face today I guess.” “I understand, we all have those kinds of days.” He phased out and muttered to himself, “I wish…I wish” She put the items in a small bag and said, “Well, do you have close friends?” “Um, no” “Do you believe in Magic?” Garion looked at her for a moment, “Oh, well GEE! In this world?” he announced with an overly sarcastic voice, “Actually, yes. I can suppose there is. When I think of God, nature, music, and colors, it’s like a natural type of magic; an essence, like miracles. There are things that humans can truly explain and control and yet they are always there. They sure don’t come face to face with everybody. But I suppose that’s what magic is here. But why the heck do you ask?” Then he stopped and paused for a moment, “I’m pretty sure I could have sworn that there were people in here. I know I couldn’t be daydreaming…” At that time the lady’s mood seemed to change, “You know, there was another firework you may not have seen yet,” she said, pointing to the corner of the booth. Garion scanned his eyes over and took notice of a small, unremarkable little 12 barreled cylindrical looking thing lying in the shadows. He walked up and peered at it. “There’s no label.” Garion said flatly. “Well it doesn’t really require one.” “Whatever, How much is it?” “Three hundred.” “Three dollars?” “No, I said three hundred.” Was she just pulling a joke on him? “Are you being serious? The thing’s barely bigger than my fist.” The woman got up and shook her head saying, “Well that’s why no one ever takes it. But we always get one of these every 3 years from some far away supplier who always sends us one to use for our charity causes. But they insist that it’s worth ten times more than it looks and all the work and production they put into producing it makes it the only thing they can ever send. They won’t make anything else. So we price it high. But those who would buy it would have been a great help. I’m not at all trying to pressure you though. You don’t have to get it if you don’t want to.” And she sat back down, reading a magazine. Garion looked back at the little blue paper cardboard object that he held in his hand. Strangely enough, he actually felt like he had the urge to get it. He was the type of guy who though seems pessimistic about everything, still often keeps an eye out for anything unusual because he believes that nothing is impossible, it’s just that miracles prefer not to show themselves around him, for it was obvious that he saw people in there and there being not when he walks in means…what? And why not? He essentially failed his lifelong dream today and it wasn’t like he was going to get anything special with his money anyway. The homeless definitely need the money more than he did, obviously. He was also feeling so down that he just wanted to do something reckless for a change. “Do you want that in cash or in a check?” he asked. “Anything will do. Thank you, sir.” She replied happily, “and have a beautiful day.” … Despite having the nagging feeling that he was colossally ripped off today, surprisingly the day actually did look a little bit nicer. Clouds were beginning to let in the sun. And so Garion drove back home. His Apartment was just Past the Henry Doorly Zoo. He pulled into the parking lot, noticing that Aaron was already back from his work, his car being stationed in his usual parking spot. Garion set the brake and got out of the vehicle. Now that the clouds were gone, it was getting very hot. He opened the trunk, slung his backpack over his shoulder and took the bag of fireworks inside. His apartment was on the ground floor so all he had to do was walk into it through an outdoor fresh hold, except that it was locked. So now he had to walk through all the hallways just to get to his room. Unlocking the door, he entered into the living room. Aaron was sitting on the couch watching some random Anime. Garion put his stuff in his bedroom which was filled with books and posters and fantasy novels. He thought maybe of considering inviting Aaron to lighting them off tomorrow so that he might get to know him more “Hey Aaron, I bought some fireworks that I was going blast tomorrow. Did you want to join in?” “Uh, Sure Man. I have no auditions for the rest of this week. But I have to pay the monthly bill. Did you get enough pay for your share?” Aaron replied from the other room. Garion suddenly flipped. How could he have forgotten to pay the monthly rent!? How could he have been so stupid to throw away his money like that! How was he going to explain to Aaron that he had just spent over 300$ on fireworks! He just stood there frozen for a few seconds and awkwardly said, “Um, I don’t have any money.” “Wait, didn’t you get paid today?” “Yeah, but I uh….nnngh….um…We’re in trouble.” “What, why?” “We don’t have any money,” Said Garion, trembling. He was missing a firework: The blue one that he spent an arm and a leg for. Plus there was a hole in the bag. “What! What happened?” “I bought fireworks.” Garion said plainly, walking towards the living room window outside. There it was, he saw, sitting outside on the hot cemented parking lot in front of his car. “How much did it cost?” said Aaron, looking through the bag of fireworks, “There’s barely that much in here.” he then noticed Garion staring blankly at the window. Aaron walked up and looked out towards where Garion was staring at. Garion’s heart just kept racing as the fuse to the firework seemed to be emitting smoke. The sun was reflecting strongly off of the cement and cars. “How much did all of this cost?” demanded Aaron. “Three hundred and Ten Dollars,” Said Garion, feeling very stupid. “WHAT?!” Just then the fuse caught alight and silently the sparks followed the wick down into the little station. Garion and Aaron just stared at it, from behind the glass window. Then a single fireball shot out from the center of the top into the sky. And that’s all it did; didn’t even explode in the air or nothing. “So Garion, that was a pretty good prank there,” said Aaron. Garion just kept looking out the window. “I mean, if you had just burned 310 dollars in the atmosphere, we’re both screwed and most likely even worse,” Said Aaron, who then looked back into the bag, looking for the receipt. Once he found it, he threw the hardest punch he could into Garion’s Shoulder, “GARION!! You didn’t spend Three Hundred Dollars on that; you spent Three Hundred and Ten THOUSAND Dollars on it!!!” “WHAT!? That’s not what the cashier said! She said 300 dollars for that one firework and ten dollars for the rest!” “What kind of messed up firework stand did you go to!?” “It was for charity!” “DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE RECIEPT!?” “Um, no?” “Where did you come up with the money for it?! What the hell made you want to spend Three Hundred and Ten Thousand on THAT!?!” he shouted furiously. Garion looked at the receipt again, slight tears dripping, gulped and said, “I was feeling kind of reckless. And I spent it with credit.” At first Aaron just stood there looking off but then, “YOU IDIOT!” Aaron swung again at Garion, who backed up and picked up something off of the coffee table. Garion was feeling terrible. He couldn’t believe all of this crap had happened and that of all ways to mess up your life in one day, why like this? Now he was feeling even worse knowing now that he was causing severe problems for Aaron now too. All of a sudden a bright white light surged out of nowhere from everywhere, flooding the room with a cold aura as bright as day. The Silence of the Tension was replaced by a Low hum. The tone of the hum sounded pure, like it was indicating a cry from some innocent presence who was trying to communicate. Neither of them said anything, they just stood there in place looking all around them, lost in whatever emotion they might have had at such a time as this. It was just a very, very unexpected event and nobody would ever really know what to do. Garion Looked at Aaron who was holding his fist in the air like he was about to sucker punch him had the strange surge of light not have happened at that exact precise second. Then he noticed that the object he was holding in his hand was a book; and to think that he was just about to whack Aaron with that. Through the blinding vision of whiteness, a few seconds passed before they both watched themselves put their arms down, looking at each other strangely without speaking, as if in a dream. Something made them want to look at the door to their apartment. It seemed the source of the light was coming from behind it. And yet it was still bright enough to fill the whole room as if they were outside. Garion was the first to speak,”Uhh…I’m going to-g go out-on a-a-a limb here and say that-,” But Aaron just silently and slowly approached the door, looked at Garion, who nodded, and slowly touched the doorknob. The Sound of the Note that hung in the air seemed to grow stronger and more dramatic as he did so. He slowly gripped the doorknob, turned it, and let it swing open. White. Bright white light. The brightest white that Aaron had ever seen filled the whole doorframe. Not a cold, dead white like from snow, but a warm, living, singing white. “What happened to the street?” muttered Garion walking up beside Aaron. Of course he pointed out the more useless of the obvious details. They neither squinted nor flinched from the light. It just seemed to be there, a warm happy light. The tone lifted and hit a graceful chime that seemed to be the conclusion and sounded almost like it was urging them to walk through the door. As if following instructions, they both took a step through. Aaron went in first, but once the book that Garion had almost forgot he was holding in his hand had passed the threshold, the color on the cover fluctuated. At once, colors began rapidly swirling around them. Reds, blues, greens, all sorts of colors of many different shades spiraled around them like a vortex of abstract Emotion. Swooshing Sounds seemed like hammers or screwdrivers doing their job at building a little toy as the colors eventually began to take shape. Garion thought he noticed Hills and Mountains solidifying themselves along what would be a landscape of Green. Aaron made out trees off in the distance, now that the abstract objects seemed to take proportion. The whole situation was so beautiful and amazing, Garion didn’t dare to blink once or try to slap himself. He could not afford to have this turn out to be just a dream or have it disappear without him seeing the whole miraculous sight of it. He wouldn't even allow himself to cloud his mind with thoughts. If this was a dream, then he didn’t want it to end. All his life since he was a child he had wanted something amazing like this to happen. After what felt like an eternity but what actually had been maybe only a few minutes, the rushing wind died down as the last few drops of color zapped into place. Then it was silent. 10 minutes of silence later, “Wa.. wha.. what the hell just ha..happened?” Spoke Aeron dumbly. They were standing in a cartoon painting of what it appeared to be a lush green valley. Mountains lined the horizon and a forest seemed to stretch at their base all around them. They could make that out easily but the detail wasn't good. The grass they were standing on was just a blank stretch of green reaching out all around them, with a few circles bunched up in smaller circles to indicate flowers. Neither of them looked at each other or said a word, they just stood side by side looking at the landscape in front of them trying to process it in their minds. Blue Sky. White swirly clouds. “So Garion,” said Aaron. “Yeah?” “Do you notice anything weird?” “No, nothing weird at all. But I’m seeing something very unnatural” “Yeah, but do you feel anything weird?” “Not really. Wait… Now I think I see what you mean. How would you describe this feeling?” “I feel.….flat” “Really? Well that’s odd. I was going to say full of nausea from that experience. I think I even might ungh-” “No! I actually feel flat!” “Wa-what? Whoa! HOLY SNOT! What the heck happened to you!?!” “You’re a Cartoon!” “So are you!” “Dang!....nnngh....WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!???” shouted Aaron with all utter insanity. “I don’t know, it just….happened. Your eyes, they’re so huge! Your face, it looks like an upside down pentagon. Weird, your weird curly hair just looks like a black shape across your forehead with a curly line through it. And your acne’s all gone. It’s like you look ten times better. Hey, do you think that white light was an atomic explosion and we’re in heaven now and these are our heavenly bodies?-” “I’ll give you a heavenly body!” yelled Aaron as he socked Garion in the chest. Garion stumbled back a few steps . “Hey! I was just joking!” said Garion but Aaron stepped forward and swung at him again, missing. “You think this is a Joke! We’re standing in the middle of Who-knows-where. Our house is nowhere in sight! I can’t even begin to get the slightest clue of what is going on! I look like a nightmare! YOU look even worse!-” “Oh, turn that frown upside-down bro! Stop complaining! I don’t care why it happened, it HAPPENED! I’m just glad something if anything awesome turned up in my boring old life. This is flipping awesome. Besides, you don’t look too bad. Your flat-face makes you not look as scary when you’re mad!” “WORSE I’m Stuck in This World with You!” said Aaron Grabbing Garion by the Technicolor collar… Meanwhile, only about 50 feet away a small yellow Pegasus was just getting ready for the start of a wonderful new day. Fluttershy happily clopped down her cottage stairwell while birdies, mice and other small animals followed intently. “Good morning everyone, today is the first day of summer and I need to get you all fed so I can get ready to go Pinkie’s celebration party this afternoon,” she said blissfully. She fed each animal, making sure to carefully give the right amount of the right type of food to each individual creature. She did it every morning. She loved it. She just loved animals. After feeding Angel his carrots who afterwards bounded off by himself to eat his meal, she grabbed her watering can and chicken feed to go tend to the outside. Humming happily to herself, she pushed open her cottage door, trotted down to her chicken pen and fed them. After filling her watering can she trotted on over to her front garden and cheerfully watered the flowers. Oh, she was just so happy! It was the beginning of a beautiful brand new summer! The Sun was shining, the sky was bluer than ever, the flowers were fresh and ready to be eaten, the birds were chirping, the bees were buzzing, and two stick-like creatures were fighting each other off in the distance… “Eeh!” she dropped her watering can. Her knees were shaking. These creatures..... They looked quite dangerous and at first she was afraid they had returned from the last time... But she realized now that these creatures were different from the ones before; they were worse from the ones before! One of them was shouting something very horrifying at the other and now she was beginning to be afraid that they were the same creatures from before: angry and back for revenge, and now they were in solid form! She wanted to run but she couldn't. She had never faced these two legged beings before! They were screaming at each other and one was holding the other by the neck… ….Aaron was about to knock some crazy sense into Garion with his fist ready, when Garion just happened to point out, “Hey what’s that?” Aaron looked, and saw a small house not too far away a midst some trees and a creek amongst the outskirts of the forest, with what looked like a little yellow dear-thing with huge pink hair coming from its head and butt. And two big eyes. Eyes that looked straight into the deepest reaches of your soul. “What is that?” Said Garion before Aaron socked him in the face. Garion fell to the ground, still conscious, just very annoyed. Aaron took a small step towards it. Garion got up, forgetting the punch, and asked, “Should we go talk to it? Maybe we can find an explanation.” “I don’t know. It looks constipated.” “Do you think it saw us fighting and we scared it frozen in place?”… Fluttershy’s heart stopped. The two figures were now standing side by side staring straight at her! They saw her! Or maybe they hadn't seen her yet and only saw the house. Maybe if she just kept standing really still- “Um, Hello?” One of them spoke to her. THAT’S IT! Her rump swung behind her, her knees buckled and she bolted into the cottage, slammed the door and locked all 27 locks behind it. She ran upstairs, went into her bedroom, closed the door and dove beneath her blankets… …Meanwhile, Garion just looked at Aaron and said, “What the heck just happened?”
Ep1: The Soul Spectrum Dimension PART 1: Into the spectrumEp1: The Technicolor Kingdom PART 1: Into the spectrum Episode 1: The Technicolor Kingdom Part 1: Into the spectrum Garion and Aaron looked around them. Here was a world that didn’t quite shout out “danger” and it seemed predictable that anyone would want to wander in a landscape like this. They both decided not to explore the cottage with the odd yellow thing that had run off, because whatever it was, it didn’t appear like it would be much help to them. They first decided to look for their house, because they realized that they had been walking without knowing when the universe was swirling around them, so they may have just simply wandered away from it rather than losing it. Aaron eventually spotted some kind of rectangle off in the distance, which turned out as they approached, to be a door 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. It was just a door frame standing in the middle of the ground with the door inside. And it was still open. Looking through they could see their living room on the other side; A portal between two dimensions. “Wonderful,” said Aaron looking inside, “It’s good to know that we can get home whenever we want to. Although now, I assume that we’ll meet a fawn and have to defeat a white-witch or something and become Kings.” “Dude, we’re not going back in there. Not now,” said Garion. “Well duh, of course. I’m sure certainly not going to be the one to pay for the disaster you caused us……What are you doing?” “Just locking the door to make sure nothing of this Universe gets in ours,” said Garion, reaching in with one arm to pull the door closed. He didn’t step in the room and probably would have used a stick to reach the doorknob if he could. He held onto the nagging little fear that if he walked in, the world would disappear behind him and he would never have another chance. He knew the rules, He read Narnia. “You’re trying to keep them out? And here we are invading their world,” said Aaron cynicaly, “Alright, well you may be getting all freaky and happy about all this, but I’m not going to be an idiot and frolic around naïve in a world I know nothing of. There could be insane dangers here.” “Yeah, like this world looks so dangerous” Said Garion, nudging a small cheesy little blossom on the ground with his foot. Garion opened the door, and looked through. Whether it was like a magic wardrobe, or a time-traveling tardis, it was a whole different world through the otherside. Just as an experiment, Garion went to the backside of the door, which was the side that they didn’t come out from and opened it. It just opened like a typical doorway in a non-magical world and only revealed the side where Aaron was standing, but when Garion walked around or peeked his head through the front side, the door appeared closed. He then closed the back and opened the front, so that they could see into their apartment and then walked around the door frame to the back. It still appeared closed on this side. It was like there were two doors in the same place, one being an active portal, while the other was an inanimate object, and yet both doors were the same object. “Try pulling both doorknobs. See what happens,” said Aaron. Garion put his hands on each side of the doorframe, cupping his hands over the knobs and attempted to turn them when the world suddenly began flashing and trees were looking distorted. Garion immediately stopped and yelped, for his mind had felt like it was being stretched apart. Everything instantly returned to normal once he let go. “I don’t think today’s a good day to divide by zero, Aaron.” “Yeah, don’t ever do that again,” said Aaron, who had his hands upon his head, like he was trying to contain his sanity. “Hey, I left my phone inside. Do you have yours? Check your connection and see if you still have it here.” Garion pulled out his iphone and was amazed to see that not only did it say it was connected, but it was also charging itself! After a brief moment of amazement it had finally occurred to Garion that they had a whole new amazing world laid out right before their eyes that they could explore and yet here they were obsessing over lame, typical objects from their own world. “Do you see that over there?” Aaron asked, peering over towards the low end of the valley amongst a few trees where a windmill could be seen spinning along with other low buildings clustered around it. So Aaron and Garion wasted no time in following the path to the upcoming town. They were approaching a creek that contained a small bridge going over it and a path that would lead from it to the town on the other side. Garion was humming some random song to himself when Aaron pulled him aside, inside a bush. It looked like a green blobby thing with a few leaves painted in random places, but felt like a real bush. Even more surreal, it absorbed them in like a typical cartoon where a character would dive in a bush and maybe pick it up and sneak around while spying on somebody. “What the heck are you doing?!” said Garion, uncomfortable with random twigs poking at him. “SSSHHH! Quiet!” said Aaron, peering outside through a small hole that appeared when he pressed his hand against the inner “wall” of the bush. “Did you see the color on bridge? And the buildings?” Garion peeked outside. “They look like typical renaissance cartoon buildings to me,” he said. “No, look at the doors and windows you idiot!?” Said Aaron, “They’re pink!” “So.” “With hearts……..All over…….In random places..,” Aaron hissed. “Well if it’s all girly, why are you acting all like Solid-Snake? Wait, is that a Giant Cake?” asked Garion. “I think that’s a house.” “Hmm, weird. I like this place already. Well, to be honest, we're more likely to find a place to sleep for free in a town filled with hearts than the city filled with knives. Better this than home, any day.” Said Garion, who then burst out of the bush, and walked across the bridge, leaving Aaron behind. He was just so glad that he wasn’t going to have deal with Earth anymore! No more doubt! No more staring up at the stars at night feeling lonely. No more dealing with cruel people who cared for nothing other than what they wanted for their own. Here was a miracle he was walking through. It was the greatest gift any man or women could ever receive from God. The place looked friendly enough. Full of sunshine, blue skies, summery trees and happy windmills. What kind of people here could possibly be cruel to him here. He didn’t want to hold back. He quickly ran up to the town and closed his eyes, breathing in the fresh spring air. Then he opened his eyes, and stood there dumbfounded… Aaron on the other hand, was not having such a wonderful day, despite the pleasant change in the normal earthly routine of everything magical being just imagination. And now that he knew that it wasn’t imagination, he was pretty ticked off at Garion who had seemed to be growing a strong reputation for running straight into dangerous situations recklessly with utter enthusiasm all over today. It was also ironic concerning that usually it was him who had the spontaneous attitude normally and Garion was the boring person who constantly kept to himself, reading books, listening to music, and drawing rather than interacting. Now Aaron had to catch up with him. Quickly he followed Garion down the path as quickly as he could manage, over the small pink bridge, and to where he was now standing. “Hey, Garion! Be carefull! We don’t know what kind of people we may run into-” and then he saw what Garion was staring at…. “Uhhh…” Everywhere around the town, on the streets and in the houses, and in between the buildings were little creatures that appeared very equine, but also just barely humanoid, as they had human like manes dressed in humanoid fashions. They came in every freaking color that Aaron could think of; at least the lighter shaded ones with some darker shades, but very few blacks, reds, dark browns or greys. Their hooves appeared to end in stubs, with the bottoms cut in a flat shape which confused Aaron because it was solidly colored and made it almost look like there would be fuzz all over. Even so, he spot one big red pony pulling a cart whose fur on his hooves receded back to show yellow bottoms which told him that they were in fact hard and not plushy. They had readable facial expressions and their “faces” were so due to the fact that they had abnormally small noses for horses. They were also very small, the average standing maybe as tall Aaron’s chest from the top of their heads. They seemed to be civilized, obviously, with the houses and all and apparent busy lifestyle that Garion had intruded on. The buildings were built halfway to their scale as oddly some objects like tables were human sized while Doorways and rooms were short for their size. Some of them wore clothes and some of them didn’t, which Aaron didn’t know what to say about. Stranger yet, they each had a particular symbol on their butt that was different than all the others. Bowling pins, Clocks, flowers, bubbles, cheese…. They each showed up on the sides of their flanks. They had freakishly big eyes that took up a lot of space on their faces, which was creepy because every single one of them were staring straight at Garion and Aaron at this moment. They all stood there frozen in whatever thing they were doing looking at the two creepy looking creatures that stood menacingly before them. Garion was just standing with his mouth open. Aaron thought he might as well join him. “Um…Hi-” Garion attempted to say hello but Aaron hit him before he could begin. “Don’t! Remember what happened the last time you tried to do that?” whispered Aaron. Aaron turned slowly towards their audience. He threw a piece sign. “Ahhh!” They all shouted as one as each and every one of them darted all over the place, running inside random buildings, closing doors, knocking over flower stands, picking up little…whatever they would they call their kids. They panicked, they screamed, they ran. Soon enough, shops were abandoned, carts were left unattended and Aaron and Garion were alone on the deserted streets. “Gosh, why does this keep happening?!” asked Aaron “Are we really that hideous?” said Garion who was for some reason pondering their odd way of defending themselves under attack. He had only been joking when he said that they looked like flat geometrical shapes. They actually looked very closely to their real world selves, and everything here, though cartoony, were still 3-D enough for them to perceive distance and such like their normal world dimension. Garion was feeling slightly nervous. Hearts. Pink. Flowers. Sparkles. Rainbow colored-, “Dude. Ponies,” he said, trembling with dread, “They’re My Little Ponies.” “No they’re not. My little Ponies have noses much bigger than that. I’m just gonna say that these are just little multicolored ponies that wear clothes and live in houses and like putting feminine touches on everything,” asserted Aaron, looking up at a high-ish window on one of the straw-roofed buildings. Ponies were staring down at them. “The Horror!” they said. “The Nightmares!” they said. “They returned!!” a little one said. Garion looked down and thought, well so much for a nice happy town of….people. He looked at Aaron and said, “Well somebody’s got to be in charge of protecting this place. I would wonder how this place keeps in order in situations like these. Eventually we must run into somebody.” So Garion led the way amongst the fallen carts and over the exaggerated wreckage of fruit stands and booths. Not bothering to look at the strange creatures inside the houses, he came upon quite a few instances where he actually felt kind of bad for just marching through their town and scaring them all silly like that. Maybe it was just a metaphorical way of showing how humans were really that terrible of a species. He couldn’t even say hi friendly enough. Aaron noticed something about the creatures in the windows that he didn’t see before. Some of them had short spiraling horns on their heads and some with small wings on their sides. Ok, so that was kind of cool. There were Unicorns and Pegasus’s in this world as well. What else? Garion continued trekking around until he passed by an unusually large tree 30 feet away that appeared to actually be a house with doors, windows, and balconies. All of a sudden the front door to the tree house burst open and a lavender colored pony ran out. “Alright, you fowl creatures!” she yelled, “Turn around and head back where you came from or you’ll learn what happens when you terrorize innocent towns!” she was a different pony. She had Both wings and a horn which stuck out through her mane which was straight navy blue with a pink and purple highlight that went straight down. It was the same with her tail. Her Mane was cut evenly to appear that she had bangs, and she had large sparkling violet eyes that Garion could see with amazement from where he was standing. “Wait a minute! She’s a Unicorn! No, a Pegasus? She’s a winged….unicorn….thingy!” said Garion, ecstatic. “She looks kind of ticked,” said Aaron plainly. “Yeah, well…uh…I guess I would be too if...but anyway, those eyes…. She looks pretty intelligent compared to the others. Hopefully, we’ll get some help from her.” “Actually, she looks like she’s about to shoot something at you,” Remarked Aaron, noticing the pulsing orb glowing from the Unicorn’s horn. For whatever reason, neither one of them had the common sense to evade but then again, a cute little violet pony just didn’t throw enough of a threat to them. The pulse from the horn quivered and flashed until it shot out a beam of white light. When it caught them, it enveloped them in a swirling cloud of purple and red. They felt sort of crazy, probably because they weren’t expected anything like this to happen. At first it was like their bodies were being condensed but then it was replaced with normal density. It all only lasted for a brief second. The feeling quickly died away and they found themselves standing once again on the dirt street. “Why the heck did she shoot us?!” exclaimed Garion, freaking out now. He looked down at the ground, seeing that it was closer than normal, “Oh my gosh! She freaking shrunk us!” They had indeed, approximately 7 and a half inches smaller. “Well, there is one bright side behind this,” said Aaron, watching Garion jump up and down like an idiot, “At least now I don’t feel as awkward around these objects.” Slowing down, Garion remarked,“Hmm. You’re right. We’re in scale now. But what the heck!?” The purple Unicorn looked like she had been trying to fly, but apparently didn’t know fully well how to, and tumbled down from six feet in the air. She resorted to running and looked better doing so, and when she finally approached them it was evident that they were as tall as the very top of her “hair”. They were a little shocked to see themselves eye to eye level. Now, she actually looked a little intimidating. She approached and exclaimed, “What! That shock spell was supposed to send you running away! I must have not focused my quadra-senses to 38 units of sparkle-” Then she stopped and just stared at them. She glanced at Garion, then switched to Aaron, and back to Garion. “WHAAT!?” she screamed, “But how did you…Ahhhhh!” Aaron had enough, “ALRIGHT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WILL PEOPLE JUST TALK TO US FOR ONE MOMENT?!!!” “Omygoshomygoshomygoshomygosh!” She continued bellowing, suddenly happy, “How did humans get in Equestria!? I thought that the Mirror Portal was Closed! The moon passed over! We wouldn’t be able to have contact for another 30 Moons!” “What?” said Garion sadly, “I’m so confused.” “Omygosh! This is so amazing! How did you guys do it? How did you get through? Did you go to Canterlot high?” “What? What? What? Please slow down!” “No! First, why did you shoot us?” Aaron asserted. “Because you were attacking the town!” answered the Unicorn. “No we weren’t! We just walked in and everybody scattered!” The unicorn looked up at the nearest building and noticed the ponies hiding behind shaking in fear at them, “Oh dear,” Looking down in frustration, she muttered, “I apologize. I thought this town had all learned not to judge ponies like that. There’s an explanation-” “Yeah well, oddly enough, we’re not ponies and so I guess we’re not welcome here,” commented Aaron. The Unicorn quickly perked up and said, “No! That’s not what I’m talking about. This town did the same thing when Zecorra the zebra first came into Ponyville.” Aaron gave a look at Garion. Ponyville? Good lord. “They’ve been pretty good about it since then but I guess that the first time I saw a human, it was pretty terrifying. It was myself actually, but we can fix that! I was in the middle of an experiment when I heard all the shouting and mayhem outside, so I just naturally came out to defend them. Sorry about the size mix up. But first I’ve got to know how you two got here. I mean, without any magic, how could a few humans do it?” said the pony with a happy smile “As if we know,” said Aaron. “Come on, we can introduce ourselves at the library. The longer the townspeople stare at you, the longer they’ll make assumptions out of you and I need to make it look like we’re together. And I might be able to find information in books if anything else. Follow me!” She ran them back toward the tree where a sign with the picture of a book stood outside. “Whoa! This tree is a library!?” Garion remarked. There were just no ends to the surprises here. “Yep! It’s the library where I work and my home!” she said cheerfully. “Far out!” Opening the front door, she stepped into a wide circular room that was the internal trunk of the gigantic oak. All the features in the house seemed to have been grown in with the tree, such as the curving staircase following the wall and the bookshelves lining the walls themselves. In the middle stood a table with a wooden carved equine statue head sitting on top. She glowed her horn and suddenly two cushions suddenly flew through the air. It was kind of obvious that she was controlling their movements from her horn. Except that she was so excited that she accidently knocked Aaron in the head with one of them and caused him to fall to the floor. She placed the pillows down on the floor in front of them, offered as seating. “Sorry about that, just being a little clumsy. Let me just calm down for a moment,” She apologized, slowing down a bit. Sitting back down, she took a deep breath, moving her front hoof like an arm to and away from her chest. Aaron was still rubbing his head from the impact. She slowly explained, “First let me introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle, but you may have already known that, as I am the one who saved your world from possessive enslavement from a pony named Sunset shimmer who snuck through from this world into your world as a human and blah blah blah blah blah blah something about a mirror blah blah blah a crown....” Aaron tried to share glances with Garion but the kid was looking intently at the crazy unicorn, evidently trying to understand what she was saying but having severe difficulty. He chuckled to himself as this whole situation was kind of funny. One moment he’s living his life on Earth trying to get mental inspiration from watching a Baccano anime thinking about the easiest way he can get a job to support his financial problems and then the next thing he knows, he’s in a rainbow world sitting in a tree watching Garion sweat himself to death trying to understand a crazy talking Unicorn. “….And so, we left Sunset in the arms of your world so you can teach her how to actually make friends the right way. You must know who I am,” Finished Twilight. Garion blinked a few times before saying “Uh, ok. I don’t know what crazy world you fell into, but there are no multicolored humans in my world. Humans don’t come in blues, greens, or purples. They occasionally dye their hair color but no excessive amounts of rainbow people or knee high boots, sorry.” “Sure there are. I was there in one of your “School” countries,” persisted Twilight. She seemed pretty sure of herself and wore a tone of self-intelligence within her voice. “What?” “Ok, let me put it this way. This is something that one of our scientists have theorized: parallel dimensions. While they normally don’t exist in a natural state, the law of the parallel universe is that the two are different but follow the same direction of events and plotlines. For example, Our princess is the ruler of this country and in your world she’s a principle but she’s a human because of the range of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah….” Aaron put a hand to his head. This may take a while. “…..And so since Equestria is big and takes up a third of our world and Canterlot high is small, that must mean that your world is very, very small. So chances are, word would be able to get around easily, so you must have heard about me,” she concluded. “Nope,” said Aaron. “I think that we would have most likely heard about a school with so many colorfully named students at some time,” said Garion, “And certainly about a giant demon trying to take over the human race and another alternate dimension. But we didn’t, sorry. And our world is definitely much bigger than a few highschools.” “But that doesn’t make sense,” remarked Twilight. “Yeah well life wasn’t designed to make sense, Twilight Sprinkle,” said Aaron. “Twilight Sparkle.” “Oh, sorry.” “Anyway, stay here and let me just go find a book about the theories of inter-dimensional space. It won’t take that long,” said Twilight sparkle, who turned around and trotted up the stairs. Garion saw Aaron looking at him weird, “What?” “The next time you buy one of those fireworks, make sure to ask the cashier which next door neighbor universe it leads to, so that next time we don’t land in girly Strawberry shortcake land.” “Equestria; And it’s not that bad. If you don’t like it, here’s the key to our apartment.” “Why couldn’t we have landed in a pokemon world or something else?” “I would hate to be stuck in a pokemon world.” “Yeah, well….Fu-” “DON’T you dare! We got happy friendly ponies surrounding us! You crazy!?” Aaron just paused at this for a moment, thinking. “Yes! Why don’t you go spoon your underwear!” “Go slap a duck!” “Go wrestle a chair!” “Salute a fire hydrant for all I care! Where are you going?” “To the forest or something.” “But Twilight said to stay here,” said Garion “Just face it, she’s crazy.” “Oh come on! If she’s crazy, then how was she able to use a seriously scientific theorem?” “Like I said, she’s crazy.” “This place has giant houses made of cake! CAKE, man!” “I might come back for that, but I’m not staying here waiting for someone to explain something I’m not going to care about, not that it wasn’t fun enough getting hit in the head with a hard pillow, but I’m going to see what the rest of the world has to show before I lose my mind.” “You’re probably too late,” said Garion, but Aaron had already left the door. Debating whether or not if he should be worried, he came back to the memory that most of the people (or ponies as they all are apparently) they’ve talked to so far have ran away screaming so he should be fine. Then again, there was Twilight Sparkle who had actually tried to attack them… Twilight returned back down the steps with her tail bobbing slightly behind her as she descended and approached. “What happened to that other guy?” “He left.” “What?” “He just left.” “Why?” “He got bored.” “Are you kidding me?” “Well he said he might come back.” Twilight groaned and said, “Which direction did he go?” “He said he was going to the forest?” Twilight’s eyes grew big, “Wait, which forest? The Everfree forest by Fluttershy’s house or the paradise glades around where the southern outskirts are?” “I don’t know. Who’s fluttershy? What does it matter?” Twilight ran up close to Garion so that she was just inches from his face, which freaked the heck out of him, “Because!” she said sternly, “there are dangerous things out there! Things that can seriously hurt you!” “Like what?” “The Everfree forest is one of the most wild and untamed habitats in the surrounding region! Poison joke! Timber wolves! Cragadiles! River boggers! Mudskippers! Wisps, and cockatrices that can turn you into stone!” “Ok….,” said Garion. This was an unexpected turn that he would not have imagined seeing in this world. Which forest did Aaron say he was going? How serious was a cragadile compared to a human? “I’m starting to worry.”
Ep1: The Soul Spectrum Dimension PART 2: Twilight SparkleEp1: The Technicolor Kingdom PART 2: Twilight Sparkle Episode 1: The Technicolor Kingdom Part 2: Twilight Sparkle “Who’s Fluttershy?” asked Garion. The bizarre scenario of talking to a sparkly unicorn with wings continued to pull at his senses and caused everything to be harder to focus. Slowly, but eventually, he managed to chew his words out to the best of his abilities. “She’s a shy yellow Pegasus who lives by herself in a small, earthy tree house cottage on the outskirts of town,” said Twilight earnestly. Garion’s mind went back to the yellow pony they encountered when they first arrived. “Um, I…I think we actually came by her when we arrived…. She ran away when I said hello.” Twilight smiled briefly and walked quickly over to a bookshelf to pick out random books with her magic, “Well it would actually seem to be a normal thing for Fluttershy to be timid around other ponies, but I don’t know why she would run away from a hello.” “Well… I was… We were…uh….” “Yes?” Garion was unsure about how to relay this the right way. Would she care if she knew they were fighting or not? How forgiving would she be? He didn’t want to bring stress to her about how aggressive they really were, since he had just convinced her that they had meant no harm. But his gut told him to that honesty was the thing to do here, hoping that she wouldn’t take it offensively, “I think she caught me and Aaron fighting.” Only a simple awkward pause followed. Twilight continued looking through her books. “How are you doing that?” he asked. “Levitation, it’s an ability that most unicorns are born with,” said Twilight with kind of a puzzled expression, “So why were you fighting?” she asked, skeptically but not unkindly, finally selecting a scroll from the top shelf. She then carried the scroll within the purple aura of her magic and set it on the table. “It’s a long story. A long, stupid story. But it was nothing to do with this world. But nevertheless, it all happened because of me, with my dumb personality and me being stupid today. And yet still, here I am in a scenario more unexpected and bigger than I could ever dream of. The whole fabric of reality as I knew it changed in an instant today! I’m either going CRAZY or I’ve ALREADY LOST IT. Tell me, DO MY EYES LOOK SANE TO YOU? AM I DREAMING!?” “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…………...” “Don’t answer that! If it’s a just a dream, then I like it. Please don’t answer it if it is! I want this to be real.” “Well okay then! But really, you’re awake…it’s not a dream…Oh, never mind.” Twilight wore a very worried expression on her face but didn't pursue the topic. Whoever this person was, he sure must not have been very happy before. Or maybe he just needed to calm down. She had so many questions she wanted to ask him, but obviously now was not the time. She walked over to the window to see the status of the town. Ponies were cautiously walking around picking up carts and cleaning up messes. She hoped that they had been realizing their overreaction and were trying to come back to their senses. She walked back to the table and beckoned Garion over. “By the way, I never got your names,” she asked. “Oh. I..I’m Garion…. And the other guy is Aaron,” he replied. “Well, pleased to meet you, Garion.” She said with one of the most warmest smiles that he had ever seen. “Wow, really? I mean, even after the chaos I just caused?” said Garion, suddenly feeling down about the fact that he had just entered a world supposedly without humans and already within a few hours just two humans had caused a whole town of innocent ponies such distress. “It’s no trouble at all, really. Things like these happen more frequently than you would expect. They probably just though you were…Never mind. Anyway, those are interesting names,” she commented. “Yeah, they’re not as inspirational as Twilight Sparkle or anything,” he didn't really mean it as a serious compliment but nevertheless it appeared to make her glow a bit when he said that. “Anyway, Aaron couldn't have gone very far, we might be able to reach him before he actually walks into any danger. But first I need to know what you've seen since you've been here so that I might be able to guess where he’s gone.” She gestured to the scroll on the table, and unrolled it with her magic. “This is the map of Equestria. We live in the country in the northwestern quadrant over here, north of the equator and west of the meridian. On this coast to the east is where one of our countries most bustling and thriving cities, ManeHatton lies. And in the central western basin is where Appaloosa is. The Midwest is mostly flat lands and hilly terrain with lots of trees. In the western region going north and south are a range of mountains inhabited by dragons. In the very center of the country on a mountain is where Equestria’s Capital, Canterlot lies. And just south of that is the little valley where Ponyville rests. You can actually see the castle on the mountain from here.” Garion’s reaction to this was that if the laws of a Parallel Universe were actually applied here, then this was almost spot on, “Wow. That’s just amazing.” “I know right? Maps are wonderful tools. Just looking at all the labels and land features is such a spectacular way of knowing your land,” she said cheerfully. “No, I mean…well yeah, but…what I meant was that the Map of this area of Equestria looks just like a map of America, the country I come from. Except that Las Pegasus over here is Las Vegas and Phillydelphia up here is Philadelphia in my world, or at least those are two of the parallels I’m seeing here.” Twilight stopped, and a huge freaky smile appeared on her face. “Uh, why are you staring at me like that?” Garion now was beginning to get worried. “That’s amazing! Tell me what they look like! I wonder if their physical geography looks similar to my world as well!” She said with such glorious enthusiasm, she caused Garion to almost fall back. Whoever this lady was, she probably must have too many tea parties and cupcakes for breakfast, but then, she didn't actually seem like the stereotypical girly pony that he thought her to be originally. “Well..I’ve never visited that many other places before and only seen photographs of most famous sites. You see, I live in the middle here, in the central area of America in Omahoof Neighbraska - well, in my world it’s Omaha Nebraska.” “So that would explain why you appeared in this area of Equestria. THAT IS, if you spontaneously appeared here.” “Actually, it seemed like this world spontaneously appeared to us. It looked as if we were witnessing a creation of new world.” Twilight put a hoof to her chin in deep thought. “But that may have been probably just us stepping into the other dimension, and I guess-the world was just changing? Obviously it wasn’t created just a few hours ago.” “Well, duh. The molecules of your dimension were probably just readjusting yourselves to the different dimension. Not the world being created. That would mean that your world looks VERY compared to this.” “You’re right. It does.” “So how did you mean to get here and why?” “Actually…..I never….really meant to and it was a complete accident, to be honest.” Suddenly Twilight Sparkle’s excitement dimmed, “You mean, this was never intended?” “Nope,” “You weren’t responsible for this?” “This whole thing is one huge insane event that has knocked us both out of our wits since we’ve been here. I’m still questioning my sanity. This couldn’t have been a dream because I can obviously consciously think my own thought process and blah blah blah blah.” Twilight was confused by all this. If they hadn’t intended this then who or what did? “Do you have magic in your world?” she asked. “…..And the door of our apartment is still standing there in the air, and we can walk through it back into our world if we wanted, which is also crazy.” “Wait, what!?” “Huh?” “What did you just say?” “What did you just say?” “You first.” “No, you asked first.” “Fine! Do you have magic in your world?” “Sure, we got music, colors, sunsets, what else?” “No like, tangible magic. The kind that you control.” “Only if it came from God himself,” he said, feeling a little awkward suddenly. “Alright, fine! Now what did you just say before?” “I forgot.” “How could you have forgotten? It was only a few seconds ago!” “Wait, oh yeah! Now I remember. I was just saying that this couldn’t have been a dream if-” “No after that!” “-I was saying that I would have thought of a better way to walk into town if I only-” “No, no, no! After that, the part about the portal or something,” Said twilight, stamping her hooves on the ground with utter frustration. “Oh that? Sorry, I should have known that was what you meant. How silly of me. It’s the door to our apartment that we came through to get here. On one side it’s our world and on the other it’s yours. It’s standing somewhere in one of the fields beyond this town.” Twilight’s expression got bigger. “So we’ve just been around exploring. Can you please put me back to my original size again?” he asked, now starting to freak. At this size they may be head to head level, but her eyes were HUGE! And whenever she made that excited expression, they got even bigger. These were the type of eyes that looked straight into you too. Not like a pair of human’s eyes that you could possibly avoid looking into when communicating, no, there was no way to avoid the soul piercing gaze of the eyeballs that these ponies held in their faces. “I can’t, at least not yet. It was an accident that I managed to shrink you two. I was trying to perform something else. It was a spontaneous reaction that it happened, and until I figure out why my spell didn’t work on you, it will be too risky to try to reverse. And even if I could do it now, I would need to have the both of you in the same place. But since your friend has run off into who knows where, the wide range in distance between you two would potentially expel all the energy I have in me and possibly kill me.” “Oh. Forget about it then, it can wait. I don’t want to cause you to get hurt,” said Garion awkwardly, “So we have to get Aaron.” “Of course we have to get him! Without any magic, or wings, or any strong abilities-no offence-he’s going to die out there by himself!” said twilight, “And when they find him, I’ll have to take you two to Princess Celestia. You don’t know spectacular this situation is!” “You’re right, and I’m still trying to comprehend the reality of all of this too- wait a minute, don’t you mean we’ll go find him. Who’s ‘they?’” “I’m going to send AJ and Rainbow Dash to go find him. We’re going to check out your Portal to make sure it’s secure enough that nothing from our world can get into your world and obliterate it.” “What?” “Your world has no magic and our world is very dangerous so if anything like a parasprite, tiger, dragon, or even a bear gets into your world, who knows how many of your kind will get hurt?” “UUUUHHHHhhhhhhhhh…….” “Don’t worry, Aaron will be fine. If there were anypony whom you could rely on to protect you, its Applejack and Rainbow Dash!” Garion was just freaking out. It would have never occurred to him that the impression he gave the ponies was that humans in real life were harmless, defenseless beings. And now there was the threat that these innocent creatures would have contact with the human world! The human race would DESTROY these creatures! “Alright, now let’s go.” Twilight quickly lifted some random saddle bag out of nowhere and started putting tools, food, and other assorted items that may help with scavenging and searching for some, and then placed it on her back. The saddle bag, though, brought some distressed confusion to Garion, “Uh, Twilight?” She had been on the ground synching up the ropes with her mouth. “Yes?” “Uh.. Where did you get… How did you get…. Um, weren’t there supposed to be no hu-….. Nevermind.” Twilight Sparkle motioned him towards the door to start going, and before he could put his hand on the doornob, the door flew open slamming him against the wall behind. The book that he had forgotten he was holding in the pocket of his hoodie had been thrown out and landed on the floor. A pink blur of something flew past into the room, stopping spot in front of Twilight, taking the form of a pink pony with a crazy mane. “Oh, hey Twilight!” said the pink mare. “Pinkie!” “Sorry, I came in to welcome your new friend into Ponyville, and to apologize for how we reacted when we saw him...” “Pinkie!” said twilight, moving the door aside from Garion, using her magic. “Oh, my bad!” said Pinkie Pie. “It’s okay,” said Garion, rubbing a bruise on his forhead. “I didn’t know you were standing there. I guess I should have knocked.” “Who are you?” “My name’s Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?” “Uh, my name’s Garion.” “Darion?” “No, Garion.” “Gary?” “Gare-ee-un.” “Can I just call you Gary?” “No,” this actually happens almost every time Garion introduced himself but he was used to it. For some odd reason, the majority of people who couldn’t get his name right always insisted on calling him ‘Gary’ instead for some odd reason, which he thought was annoying. “Alright, Garion. I just came to apologize for our being not-so-nice when you first arrived. We thought you were those creepy shadow monsters that attacked our town last week. You two kinda looked just like them, but you two were standing in thin air, and every pony knows that shadows like to lie on the ground or lean against walls. They never like to stand up!” “What?” “It’s an odd story, but I’ll save that for a better time,” said Twilight. “What kind of Crazy world do you live in!?” “Please calm down! We’re trying to help you.” “Okay, um-” “Call me Pinkie Pie.” “Okay, um Pinkie Pie, did you happen to see another guy, a human like me, go by somewhere?” “Oh yes! I came to him first after he left the library! I apologized to him, sang him a song, then offered him a cupcake, but he just stuffed it in his mouth and said ‘My stomach is burning red, the cupcake sooths me to victory. Giant yummy Cupcake.’ And then he walked off.” “What?” “I don’t know, but he sure loved my cupcakes!” “Quick Pinkie, do you know which direction he went?” asked Twilight. “Well first he tripped over a bucket and then he started going up North.” “Can you go find Spike and tell him that his day off is going to have to be postponed?” “Sure thang!” “Good, and if you can find Applejack and Rainbow dash, would you please tell them that we’re missing a friend and he’s probably gone north into the Everfree forest?” “I’m on it like chocolate on ice-cream!” said Pinkie Pie, bring her hoof to her forehead in a salute, “That reminds me: Garion, would you like some ice cream?” said pinky pie, bringing a big glass bowl out of nowhere with a scoop of vanilla and chocolate syrup all over and shoved it to Garion’s face. “Sure?” he took the bowl awkwardly. “Well, gotta go! See ya, Garion!” and then the pink pony ran out the door as sudden as she came in. Meanwhile, Twilight found the fallen book on the floor. “Is this your book?” she asked, opening it and scrolling through the thin pages, “Wow! That’s a lot of words!” “Yes, it’s mine! Can you leave it there for now? We gotta check that door!” he said hastely. “Oh yes, Right! No time to waste!” she carefully laid the book on the table, and the two of them ran hastily out the door. The sun was rising high in the sky and the town was beautiful with flowers and a blue sky was painted with swirling tufts of clouds above. This is nice, Garion thought, After we get Aaron, I think I can be able to get along here very well, then he stopped and realized, I have to go use the bathroom...
