This story will be fully remastered from the ground up since I hated how it originally started with it before since I didn't have a plan. Some chapters I posted previously will be changed, some will not be present, but other than that, I hope this reboot will turn out better than when I first posted it.

Prologue

A red pickup truck was driving up one of the mountains in Texas towards a large cabin. It soon stops for a few moments and parks right next to the cabin. Two stepbrothers from Texas arrived at their summer cabin getting ready to go on about their days.

One of the doors on the car open up and a human with spiked up black hair and black eyes looked at the cabin and smelled the mountain air. He was wearing a pair of mountain boots with a short sleeve shirt and khaki shorts on his medium built frame. His name was James McCloud.

The second door on the truck opens up to reveal another human. He had short blonde and messy hair was blowing in the wind after stepping out of the car. He was wearing a pair of jeans with a blue shirt with a spiderman logo on it. His name was Scott Jones.

“Wooh, feels good to be out here again.” He said as he stretched his arms.

"About time. That car ride was like forever." Said Scott complaining.

"Hey come on man, get a grip. You know the reason I got you out here was so we have time away from the city." James added as he was going in the back an reaching for the cooler in the truck.

"Yea Yeah, I get it. I can at least stretch my legs now." Scott added popping a few of his joints.

"It's a good thing too. This cabin has a large mountain so it'll be good for exercise later." James pointed out.

"Well it's nothing like the city I'll tell ya that." Said Scott enthusiastically. “At least we won’t be dealing with school for the next few months.”

"You're lucky I brought our Xbox, and laptops up here." James said with a glare.

"Okay, my bad. I'm just weirded out by our cabin in the woods.”

"Okay one: this cabin isn't in the woods, it's in a rocky mountain with a forest around it, and two: why would you be weirded out? We always come out here every year."

“Yeah, with our parents.” Scott pointed out. “Plus, you know those stories of how people disappear here right?" James just looks at Scott and gives him an unamused look.

“Really Scott?” James adds, his arms crossing against his chest."Those stories are just rumors. Now are you ready for this summer vacation or what?"

"Yeah I'm ready. Just let me get my climbing gear out. I wanna go check out this mountain."

"Why so early?"

"Maybe find the best route for the climb when we get there." said Scott trying to come up with an excuse the get out of the cabin.

"Alright, just make sure to get back in 1 hours. I'll finish unpacking and get lunch started." James said as he unlocked the door of his cabin.

“Later bro.” Scott said as he grabs his climbing gear out of the back of the truck and takes off for the nearest clearing.

-Mountainside-

“What do you mean that this part is closed?” Scott asked in frustration as he was met with a few rescue workers who had some equipment in the back.

“I mean this area is closed. There was a cave in around this area and someone called for us, so we have no choice but to close off the area until we’re sure that we’ve rescued the civilians.” He added pointing to the area that was closed off. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but public safety comes first.”

“Allright.” Scott groaned, walking away from the sight as the workers continued looking for civilians. ‘Why did a rescue operation have to happen now?’ He thought to himself as he was on his way back to the cabin. Scott thought that bad luck was getting to him again since most of his life was pretty much like that even with his step brother James backing him up, but they did have a point. He was almost on the route towards the cabin, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed an area that wasn’t closed off.

“Wait, I never seen this part of the mountain before…” Scott thought to himself. To Scott this looked like a secluded area that was part of the mountain. What had him convinced was the setup and fresh pine trees near the cliffside. Scott smiles for a bit when he realizes the opportunity that’s in front of him. “Well, the rescue workers are working in that direction.” He said to himself as he climbed over the fence and sneaking in the area.

“I will see about going in this direction.” He points to the other path and starts heading through. Little does he know, there was a moss covered sign that said ‘do not enter’ right against the tree. Heading through the trail, Scott sees that the trail is getting narrow. The trees started to deform as he traveled through the trail. Almost life like, they almost emit a monstrous grin or look indicating that they are alive. The air felt thick, so thick that Scott had trouble breathing.

“I don’t think this was a good idea.” Scott thinks to himself. He lets out a small sigh and he starts to turn back. However, heading back seemed more of a trouble. Out of nowhere, a fog starts to form, covering the area around with a thick fog.

“Oh crap.” Scott thought. “I can’t see a damn thing.” Scott now feels regret for taking this path now. Looking over, he spots one of the mountains, a few feet from where he’s standing.”

“I think I can get a good view from up there.” Heading over, Scott sees a small path that leads up the little mountain. Traversing through the mountain, he has a few mishaps a few rocks slipping out of his grasp or slipping off a few rocks. Eventually, he manages to make it to the top. Looking around he sees a large cave a few blocks from the edge of the mountain, but he also sees a few bones at the entrance.

“Christ,” Scott said. “I don’t want to know who’s ribcage is that.” Scott shudders a bit since a pick clean ribcage sits in the middle of the cave. He looks around again, and sees a lot from being so high up. He soon makes out the Cabin in the distance and also the policeman on the other side where the trail starts.

“Wow, I really walked far.” Scott says as he was about to climb down. Sadly as he takes at least three steps, he suddenly slips and falls off the cliff he was standing on. “OH CRAP!!” He shouted as he was falling backwards. He was still falling and he lands on a mountain of fur.

“Wow, this furry mountain broke my fall…” He said to himself, but something suddenly clicks in his mind. “Wait, mountains don’t have fur.” Without realizing, he stays in the same place as he’s lifted up in the air. When he stands up, he suddenly hears a low growl below him. He looks down and sees a fully grown bear under him.

‘Oh crap!’ Scott thought to himself. “Um...n-nice bear…hehe…” The bear stands up, throwing Scott off his back and it roads at him. Scott gets up from where he was sitting and takes off for his life

“Fucking Hell!!” Scott shouted as the bear chased him for quite awhile. Eventually, Scott manages to lose it when he ran into a cave that he saw before. The bear loses interest and leaves.

“Christ, that was close.” Scott said, breathing a sigh of relief. ‘Okay lesson learned, never disturb a bear when it's asleep or else you'll be mauled by one.’ He knew that he was never going near a bear ever again. Scott waited for awhile and when he thought it was clear, he was about to leave. But that was when an rumbling in the distance. It suddenly grew louder and the entrance to the cave suddenly collapses, leaving Scott trapped.

“Aw, Jesus!” Scot groaned, rubbing his head in frustration. “Of all the times to get trapped in a cave, it had to be this time.” He pulls a flashlight from his pocket and looks around the cave. “I guess I gotta go through the cave to find my way out.” Scott walks forward through the cave and gets increasingly frustrated as each path he takes in the cave.

“Come on!” He groaned as he walked in another dead end. “How many dead ends can I find in this stupid cave?” He shouted as he hit a random wall in the cave. He groans, but tries to calm down as getting angry wasn't helping him. He suddenly hears a crack behind him. He turns around to see the wall cracking as the crack was moving along the wall.

“Crap!” He shouted as he looked as the crack was moving faster along the wall. Eventually it ends when one little crack is touching the wall and he starts freaking out. The crack eventually stops, and he lets out a relieving sigh, only for a few second before the crack worsens and the whole area starts to shake. Scott starts freaking out again, and everything around him starts to collapse. Soon a ould crash was heard and Scott braced himself for what was about to happen. The sounds suddenly stop. When Scott felt nothing, he opened his eyes to see a large hole in the wall.

“What the hell?” He said to himself as he walked forward into the hole. He suddenly slips and stumbles towards a pedestal. Inside the pedestal was a large crystal that was 1 meter long and 7 inches wide.

“Woah…” He thought to himself as he looked at the large crystal. “ I may just be the luckiest guy in the world.” He added as he took the crystal off the pedestal. “I gotta show this to James." There was another loud rumble and the pedestal suddenly disappeared into the ground. The rumbling got louder and one of the walls moved out of the way to reveal another path. There was light coming from the other end. He walks through the path and sees that he’s finally outside."Okay that was weird, but at least I'm finally outta that cave." Scott said placing the crystal in his back. It couldn’t fit because of how long it was, but he made do with what he could. Scott was walking through a part of the forest, and found himself back at the cabin.

“Guess my luck is finally turning around.” Scott said to himself as he walks up to the cabin.

-Cabin-

The sounds of grunts and blows landing on a punching bag were heard in the cabin. James had a pair of headphones in his ears and was listening to his favorite workout song whenever he trains and changed his clothes to wear he was wearing a sleeveless workout shirt with a pair of jeans as he was punching a punching bag. Behind him was a trophy case as well as a few awards he gained in martial arts tournaments. Being a third degree black belt in Karate, Taekwondo, Jeet Kune Do, Kendo, as well as Judo, he made a name for himself being the youngest student to earn his first black belt in his class.

He was landing blow after blow towards the punching bag trying to keep his skills sharp that he didn’t notice that his brother walked in the room with his rare find.

“Dude, look what I found!” Scott shouted as he tried to get his brother’s attention. Scott then tries to get his brother’s attention by grabbing his shoulder, only for James to Roundhouse kick him sending Scott flying back into the wall, and holding his face in pain. James notices that hit Scott by mistake, so he stops the music on his MP3 and goes over to his brother.

“Sorry about that Scott.” James said as he helped his brother up

“Christ sake bro,” Scott groaned as he got up rubbing where James kicked him. “Any harder and you may end up landing me in the hospital. Or worst in a coma.”

“Sorry Scott, but you should know better than to bother me when I’m training. I’m always in the zone.” James remarked, pointing at his weight set and equipment.

“You were always more of a balanced fighter.” Scott added as he got up, dusting himself off. “A strong body always requires a strong mind. That’s what my stepdad always said.”

“So what’s got you so excited?” James said as he took a sip of his water. Scott then remembers the rock he found and gets his backpack.

“This is what’s got me worked up.” Scott says as he pulls the crystal he found out of his backpack. James was transfixed on the gem as the gem could be worth a lot of money.

“Scott how did you find this? This crystal looks like it could be worth a lot of money.” James added as he moves some of his things. “We find the right buyer, we can sell this for quite a handsome pay when we finish our mountain trip.”

“No kidding.” Scott said. “I got lost in the woods, chased by a bear, and trapped in a cave to get this thing.”

“Wait, what happened to you?” James asked in a concerned tone. Scott then explains what happened in their usual rock climbing trip as well as the incident in the woods and the bear he fell on, to nearly causing a cave in to find the crystal. “Wow, you had it bad.”

“Yeah, but it was worth it to get this.” Scott added holding the crystal in his hand.

“We might as well binge watch our favorite series.” James said as he walked over to his duffle bag and pulled out several DVD box sets with the DBZ logo on each of them.

“You brought all of those with you?” Scott asked with a blunt expression.

“Not my fault they never get old to me.” James said as he pulled the boxes out of his duffle bag and set them by the TV and DVD player. “So what saga you want to watch first?”

“True, also I want to start off with the Frieza Saga.” Scott said as he set the crystal on the table and have something to eat after the run he had today. James turns on the TV and inserts the DVD that started the Frieza saga and pushed play.

“You’re right about one thing,” Scott said as he pulled out a bag of chips from the snack bag. “This series never gets old since it’s so nostalgic.” As the two brothers are watching TV, they failed to notice the crystal glowing faintly behind them. After watching some episodes, James suddenly remembers something.

“There is one movie that recently came out that I wanted to see.” James said as he pulled out another video from the duffle bag. This time it was Goku clashing with a character they’ve never seen before. The title of the movie was Battle Of Gods.

“What is that?” Scott asked.

“It’s the movie I was talking about.” James added. “This came out 2015.”

“Think it’s any better than the last one?” Scott remarked. James knew what he was talking about and grimaced.

“Let’s hope it’s any better than that trainwreck that came out.” He remarked. “The guy who made that movie really screwed up the characters on that one.”

“It’s one of the reasons that the creator of Dragon Ball came out of retirement.” Scott added. “Let’s just hope that he can take the series back in the right direction.” The sounds of growling were heard and Scott clutches his stomach. “Guess the chips weren’t enough.”

“You want some hot dogs?” James asked.

“Sure, I’m hungry enough to eat a horse.” He added, and his brother James walks over to the stove in the Cabin. After a few minutes of preparation, they sat down and chow on their hotdogs. During the time as they watch their show, they hear a faint humming sound. Almost like a machine going off.

“The hells that noise?” James asked.

“It come from...behind us?” Scott said as he looked over his shoulder and saw the crystal starts glowing.

"Uh why is it glowing like that?" James said as they saw the crystal flashing a bright white, and hovering over them in mid-air.

"I don't know.” Scott added as he reached out to the crystal above him and touched it. The gem suddenly grew even brighter blinding both males. “Wait what's it- Gah!" That was all Scott could say as he and James were engulfed in a white light. The room suddenly dims down, but the brothers were gone.

-Soon-

A bright flash in a barnyard appears in the center. Few seconds after it dissipates, James ands Scott suddenly fall onto the floor. Scott hits the ground first as he fell on his back. James follows suit as he fell on top of Scott’s stomach making him groan in pain.

"Uugh. Did anyone catch the license plate on the truck that hit me?" Said James groaning. Her slowly gets off of Scott and he sees his brother in agony. “Sorry, Scott.” James looks down at Scott and notices his face turning pale. Scott looking like he was about to throw up, but it suddenly stops.

“Okay, I thought I was gonna- Blarg!!” Scott groaned as he pukes on the floor.

"Uungh... my insides are on fire." Scott groaned, wincing in pain. “Ungh, why does god hate me so much?” He followed up as he groans and stands up only to stumble back down. Scott of course begins to puke again. James was worried about his brother, but he noticed that they were no longer in the cabin. He notices what appeared to be some type of barn, with a few stables, bales of hay, some buckets and cows in the back, and a some watering cans.

"Scott, why are we in a barn?" James asked. He had to wait for Scott to stop his puking fit. After about ten seconds, he finally stopped puking and looks around the barn.

"I don't know dude." He added, but groans slightly as he tries to stand up. “I’m not even sure how the heck we even got here.” Scott added, popping a few joints in his back. James was about to say something else, but another bright flash appeared over their heads. The two humans look up to see that some of their things came with them started falling down. Both males dodges to the side as their suitcases, laptops, PlayStation 4, Xbox one, and cooler fell on the ground.

“What the hell’s going on?” James asked in confusion.

“Well at least some of our things came with us.” Scott joked but James wasn’t amused.

“Yeah, just make sure they’re not broken.” James asked. Scott looks the items around him and breathes a sigh of relief.

“Yeah, they're not broken.” Scott said as he gave a thumbs up. They were still wondering where they were, but they soon hear a group of female voices outside of where they were.

“What was that noise?” A sweet voice called out.

“Ah’m not sure.” A southern voice called out. “Ah think I have an intruder.

“Let’s go check it out then.” A rather brash voice called out.

“Hey, wait up!” Another voice called out. Both brothers soon hear the sound of footsteps going in their direction.

“Who were they?” Scott asked confused.

“Great…” James groaned as he face palmed his forehead. “Probably people that live here who’re gonna think that we broke in here.”

“Can’t we just explain our situation?” Scott suggested.

“And what are they gonna believe?” James added. “That two guys somehow teleported inside a barn/ Sure the media would love to know about that.”

“We can at least try dude.” Scott added.

“I doubt they’d be crazy enough to even believe us.” James added. “Then again, I’d prefer not spending my nights in an Insane Asylum.”

“Who are you two?” Said a female voice in the room that made both brothers stop arguing and freeze in place. Scott sweating a bit while James had to take a deep breath.

“Let me do the talking bro.” James said as he and his brother begin to turn around. “Look...I’m really sorry for…” James’s voice trailed off when he looked at the females. Scott was wondering why his brother stopped talking, and he turns around and his gaze was frozen. The group that walked in the barn was indeed female, but it was what they were that had them brothers tongue tied and utterly confused.

One was an ivory white with a horn sticking out of her head and a two toned mane tail that was a light purple and pink. She wore a light blue blouse and a pink shirt that was around her legs. Her eyes were a bright green and full of innocence.

The second mare was wearing a pair of blue overalls and a white t-shirt. She had a bright yellow coat with a bright red mane and tail. Her mane was tied in a ponytail that was held by a pink red bow. She had amber eyes that matched her southern nature.

The next mare had a bright orange coat with a beige purple mane and tail. She had a pair of wings on her back and was wearing a black sleeveless tank top with boy shorts. Her eyes like her mane were purple, but she had a look that wanted to fight someone.

That last one was what was interesting since she wasn't like the others. She had greens spikes on the top of her head as that ran all the way to hre reptilian tail. Her scales were a deep purple and had a green underbelly. Her eyes were also green She wore a bright yellow shirt with a pair of blue shorts. What had the guys amazed by her was the pair of E cup breasts that were attached to her since the shirt she was wearing appeared to be a few sizes too small..

“Um...what are you exactly?” The reptilian girl spoke again in a confused manner making the two humans snap out of their shock.

“Scott,” James says as he turns to his brother. “I don’t think were in Texas anymore.”

“You’re telling me.” Scott added. “Who’s the overgrown lizard?” The other girls gasp as the reptile girl flinched in response and her fists surl up. She gives off a loud humph and smoke suddenly comes from her nostrils, confusing the two males.

“What did you call me asshole?” She added with venom in her tone. “I didn’t hear that clearly. Say it again?”

“Um… overgrown lizard?” Scott repeated. That seemed to set the reptile girl off as her claws suddenly come out of her hands.

“Wrong answer asshole!” She shouted as she lunges at Scott. James freaks out and had to trip his brother to keep from getting his face caved in as her fist connects with a column of the barn and smashed it to pieces. The guys freak out with how strong she is, but it gets worse when she turns towards them with her cat slit eyes and staring at the two of them with seething race.

“Oh crap!” James added, as he grabbed Scott’s pant leg and takes off. Barb takes a deep breathe and a second later, from her mouth comes large green flames aimed at the two brothers. James had to think fast to dodge the flame and he jumps out the window. As James jumped out the window, Scott hits the back of his head on the window seal and they barely made it out when the flames shot out of the window.

“Oh that hurt…” Scott groaned, rubbing the back of his head. The guys had to duck as more flames come out of the window. “Also that lizard chick is crazy.”

“When do lizards breathe fucking fire?” James added in complete shock.

“Well instead of overgrown lizard what do you think she is?” Scott added.

“Well she’s tall full of scales, and breathes fire… What do you think she is?” James remarked.

“Um… and overgrown fire breathing reptile?” Scott added, making James smack him in the back of the head.

“An you wonder why she’s trying to kill us right now.” James remarked. “She’s a dragon dumbass, and I think what you said just now is what pissed her off.”

“Talking horses, and talking dragons. What’s next?” Scott added. “Giant talking cats?” Their questions were interrupted when a crash was soon heard from their right. The crash actually cent both humans flying mid air where they landed in a bale of hay. The resulting debris that went flying kick up some dust making the guys cough up smoke. From the dust come the dragon girl and she was pissed.

“Get over here asshole so I can claw your eyes and teeth out!” She shouted.

“CRAP!!” Both brothers shouted as they both get up and were now on the run from an angry dragon girl wanting to kill them. They had to roll to different sides when a fan of flames came at them like a flamethrower.

“Why did you have to call her a lizard Scott?” James asked as he ran towards his brother.

“Well I thought she was a lizard okay? “Scott added.

“You’ll be wearing an iron lung when I catch you asshole!” The dragon girl shouted.

“Less talking, more running!” James added as they ran towards a small town up ahead, with the dragon girl hot on their tail. As their figure get smaller, three girls emerge from the rubble of the hole in the barn.

“Wow, that guy was dumb.” Said the ivory horned mare.

“We better let our sisters know what's goin’ on before those two get hurt. Or until Barb turns them well done.” The yellow mares added.

“Then let’s get over to Ponyville.” The orange mare added as she jumped on a blue scooter and motioned her friends to get in the wagon behind it. When the two other girls get in, the orange mare takes off like a bullet into the small town.

Author's Note

Here it is folks. The remastered version of one of my stories. I have to get the feel back for this story as I needed to return to it's roots. Hope you all like the references to Dragon Ball. Credit to Wolfman93 for helping me get started again. This chapter is going to help me kick off the new year with this story fully remastered from the ground up.

Chapter 1 (Edited)

Not many ponies were outside on the streets minding their own business as there was an event currently happening within the town.. Inside the building, a small group of ponies were moving around to prepare for a very important pony to visit the town within a few hours. Six of which were getting ready for her arrival the best way they new how.

“Come on everypony, we have a few hours before Princess Celestia arrives.” Said a purple unicorn mare who was currently holding a clipboard in her had as she was checking off several things that other ponies were doing. She looked to her left to see a rather chubby pony and a lanky pony who were baking several treats with another pink haired pony.

“Relax Twilight.”Said a brash voice above Twilight who was hanging up a few streamers just above Twilight. “You act like it’s the end of the world if we mess up one little thing.”

“Really Rainbow Dash?” Twilight scoffs as she shakes her head in disapprovement. “Rainbow this is BIG. The princess, my mentor is arriving here in a few hours and we must make sure everything is perfect. By the book.” Levitating a few scrolls she smiles as she already got the lists for when she arrives.

“Darling you need to relax.” Said an ivory mare who was currently arranging a few fabrics behind Twilight. “It’s true that while the princess has her standards, we need to have a calm and steady mindset. Stress is not good on you dear.”

“Well excuse me when something involves Princess Celestia causes my stress.” Twilight said as she slumps in a random chair with a heavy sigh. “I just don’t want to let her down.” Twilight is then joined by a orange earth pony and a yellow pegasus who were currently helping sweep around the building.

“Sugarcube, Rarity’s right.” The orange mare said placing a hand on the frantic mare’s shoulder. “Y’all need to take it easy.

“Why would you let her down?” RD floats over wondering how in all her success why would Celestia be disappointed in her for one small mishap.

“Because Rainbow….. I’m afraid she would think I’m not worthy of being her student anymore….. Or worse…. She’ll send me back to magic kindergarten.” She shudders as that part she is definitely more terrified than all other punishments even exiled.

All her friends look at each other then back at her, a small look of ‘really’ spread on their faces as they stare at her.

“Seriously Twilight?” Rainbow said while waving her hand in front of her face as a mocking gesture. “You really need to get a grip.” This earned her a slap to the back of her head by the orange earth pony.

“What she means is that it ain’t the end of the world sugarcube.” The orange mare added. She then kneels in front of Twilight with a calm look on her face. “Twilight darling you are a grown mare like all of us. You can buy alcohol and can vote…. Why in Celestia’s name sake would she send you to magic kindergarten?” Twilight wanted to say something, but couldn’t really find the words.

“G..girls I-”

“Boo!” Said a pink mare who pops up in front of Twilight making her yelp and fall off of the chair after stumbling backwards.

“Pinkie?” Twilight said as she stood up from where she fell. “What was that for?”

“Well, how else was I going to help you destress?” Pinkie added with a sweet innocent smile, trying to lighten the purple mare’s mood. “Sometimes getting a good scare can help let out your negative emotions silly filly.”

“At least Applejack was trying her best to keep her calm Pinkie.” The ivory mare added in response to Pinkie, crossing her arms as well.

“Sorry Rarity, I just wanted to help.” Pinkie added as she shrinked in response. “I was at least trying to help her the best way I know how.”

“Girls…” The yellow pegasus spoke up. “We shouldn’t be fighting since we’re at least trying to take account of looking after each other.”

“Fluttershy’s right. After all we need to get this finish before the princess comes. We can’t have anymore delays now can we?” Twilight added, but was stopped by Fluttershy.

“But we can do that much faster if you’re not so constantly stressed.” She added. “It can help to take a break once every now and again.”

“She’s right Twilight.” RD said, touching down on the ground. “Beside’s what’s the worst that could happen?” Twilight thought about what each of her friends told her and smiles.

“Yeah your right le-” They stopped talking as a sudden loud crash from outside of the building was heard. “What was that?” Twilight said turning to her friends. Pinkie suddenly started shaking violently and stuttered in her words.

“Oooooh I-I-I f-f-eel a d-d-d-doozy c-co-ming on.” Pinkie stuttered as the shaking of her got worse. “A-a-and wh-wh-whatever it is, it’s a b-b-big one.” She added as the noises suddenly got louder and three voices were heading their way.

“Whatever it is, it’s headin’ our way.” The orange mare added in response. The door suddenly flies open and three little fillies barge into the room with panic spread across their faces. The orange filly jumped off her scooter, while the yellow and ivory fillies got out of the wagon and ran up to three of the girls on a panic.

“Guys, we’ve got a problem.” The ivory filly called out.

“Applebloom. Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo. What’s the matter?” Fluttershy asked.

"Well it started to when we found these weird guys at the barn." Apple Bloom said.

"Then one of them said something that really made Barb mad." Sweetie Belle followed up.

"And now she’s tearing the town apart just to beat those guys up." Scootaloo finished.

"Barb is wut now?" AppleJack stated. Before anyone else could ask anything else, they hear the sound of two males screaming and the sounds of items getting smashed outside.

“What was that?” Twilight asked.

-James and Scott-

“Why do you always get us in these situations Scott?” James said as he dodged another set of debris that was chucked at them. Scott had to duck as well as a metal pipe almost impaled him in the back of his head. The dragon girl was still behind them with a look that would make even a strong willed man cower in fear.

“It’s not like I do it on purpose.” Scott added as they still ran through town. There was some ponies outside wondering what was going on and saw the two humans being chased by an angry dragoness. She takes a deep breath and blows out another jet a of green flames at the two. Both males took a dive after the flames burn down a tree in front of them.

“We gotta move before that crazed chick turns us into charcoal.” James added as he grabbed Scott’s arm and pulled him up.

“Stop running and take it like a stallion!” The dragon girl behind them shouted as she continued her chase.

“The hell does she mean by that?” Scott asked as he continued behind him.

“How should I know?” James added still running for his life. “We’re in a world we know nothing about with a crazed chick trying to kill us right now.”

“Well how’re we gonna get out of this?” Scott added turning around with the dragon girl still hot on their tail. Both brothers continued to run through town trying to avoid her. It came to a point soon where Scott slides under a random food cart while James jumped over it. That didn’t even stop the dragon girl as she just crashed through it. A random male from behind us shouted ‘My cabbages!!’ as a result.

“GET BACK HERE!!!” She shouted, breathing even more flames.

“Can nothing stop that crazy chick?” Scott asked. It only seemed to piss her off even more. Few seconds later they made a sharp right and both humans were running towards what looked like a library but had to duck as another green fireball sailed over their heads and hitting a few bushes behind them.

“My tulips!” Screamed a mare as one of the flames bursts from the impact an burned several flowers near a shop next two the library.

She fires another fireball this time catching fire to a stallions’ own pristine mane. “AHHHHHH, MY MANE!” He screams in fear as he races through town. Finding a bucket full of water he dunks his head in. The brothers did eventually lose her after making a beeline behind a random building and hid behind a random dumpster. She growls and starts looking for the males and the brothers breathe easy.

“We gotta do something about her, before anyone else gets caught in the crossfire.” James added. While sneaking around the boys were being given strange looks by some of the locals around town as to what they were. James and Scott just ignored them as they continued to try and hide from the enraged dragoness. After sneaking around for another minute, they soon see a building that was like a gingerbread house.

“Uh James?” Scott wonder if his brain was registering right now. “You see what I see right?” James was about to say something, but the brother ducked as another fireball flew over their heads.

“Found you!” The dragon girl shouted as she charged up more flames.

“Yeah I see it…. Let's just keep running Scott.” James sighs as now he doesn’t know if he’s insane or it’s real. Racing further through town after the last few fireballs barb shot out, most of the ponies around ducked in cover trying not to get caught in the crossfire. The guys barely dodged another fireball as they both stage dive towards the door.

“Christ sake, what’s next?” James groaned as he opens his eyes. He freezes in place to see a pair of orange hooves in front of his face. He looks up to see a blonde horse woman looking down at him, as well as a few others. Scott gorans and followed his brother’s gaze and looks up. Six mares were looking down at the two males in confusion.

The first mare was an ivory white with a horn on her head, but her mane as well as her tail were a deep purple and curled in an elegant fashion. She was wearing a white and buttoned up blouse with a black skirt that ended at her knees. She looks down at both males in confusion with her sapphire blue eyes. The blouse was struggling to contain her FF cup breasts since her top wasn’t buttoned all the way showing off a lot of cleavage.

The second mare that James looked up towards practically towered over the others. Her orange coat as well as her blonde mane, despite it being messy, made her very beautiful along with her emerald eyes and freckled face giving her that cute country girl look. She didn’t have a horn or wings, but she was also sporting some muscle. She wore a checkerboard shirt with a pair of blue shorts along with a brown stetson hat atop her head. They strained against her body since she was pretty muscular as well as against her chest since her breasts were a size HH cup.

The third one didn’t have a horn or wings like the previous mare, but her body was just bright pink. Her mane was poofy, but a much darker shade of pink as she just bounced up and down looking at the two males. She wore a yellow short sleeve shirt with baby blue shorts, but they looked several sizes too small since her flat stomach was showing, and the shirt was struggling to contain her rather large II cup bust, plus the bouncing around she was doing wasn’t helping since part of her pink nipples started to show under her shirt. What disturb the guys was how she wasn’t even wearing a bra underneath.

The fourth mare was a second tallest of the group as she looked at the two males with nervousness. She was almost as tall as the orange mare, with a butter yellow coat with a pink mane and tail that covered part of her right eye.She wore a bright green sweater and long grey jeans. The guys were confused on her sweater since it was shaping out her rather huge JJ cup breasts and her jeans hugging her rather heart shaped butt.

The fifth mare that they met was a lavender color and she was dressed like some type of librarian. She had a curious as she looked at the two males. Her skirt was similar to the ivory girls, but she was wearing a purple sweater vest and was holding a clipboard in her hand, making her one of the cute nerdy girl types. She was also surprisingly big compared to most nerd girls since she was a size EE in bust size.

The last mare was a cyan girl and she practically glared at the two males with her magenta eyes. Her mane was made up of several colors as well as her tail as she had her arms crossed her her breasts. She was surprisingly big since she was also the shortest of the group being a 5ft 10 inches and wore some black sweatpants with a dark blue tank top clinging to her DD cup breasts. Like the taller mare she had wings on her back.

“Can I help you sugarcube?” She spoke, spooking the two males.

“Holy!” They shouted and both brother’s backed away from the girls.

“Christ, even the horse girls talk!” Scott shouted.

‘Of course, that’s the first thing he says with what’s happened to us today.’ James thought.That was when the ivory mare slapped his brother to the ground.

“OW! What was that for?” Scott yelled, rubbing his cheek.

“I am not a whorse!” Shouted the ivory mare with an irritated look. “I’m a mare. A beautiful, fabulous, and gorgeous mare.”

“But, still a horse.” Scott said again. The ivory mare was irked again and was about to slap him again, only for James to bash Scott in the back of his head.

“Scott,” James growled, getting the brothers attention while he was rubbing his head. “Will you please shut up for once before you make everything worse?”

“Well excuse me since some crazy dragon girl is trying to kill us right now.” Scott added, making the six mares look at the two males in confusion.

“Dragon girl?” The lavender mare. “What dragon girl?

“Some crazy chick in purple scales outside is trying to kill us right now!” Scott added.

“Only because you said something stupid that got her pissed off at us.” James followed up.

“I didn’t know she got pissed off with the whole being called a lizard.” That was when the lavender mare spoke up.

“You called Barb a lizard?” She said with fear in her tone.

“Hehe, so that’s her name?” Scott added, nervously pulling the neck of his shirt. James just facepalmed at this. Before they could try and say anything else though, there was a loud slam behind the two humans. They turn around and their blood runs cold when the see the purple dragon girl at the door, with her claws out, and breathing black smoke.

“Get over here assholes!” She shouted, lunging at the two males.

“FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!” Both males rolled opposite of each other as Barb smashed the floor beneath where they were sitting earlier. The mares around the room started freaking out as the guys were dodging Barb’s attacks as she smashed everything the girls did just to try and hit the two males.

“Barb Stop!” The lavender mare shouted. “We just set everything up for Princess Celestia!” Twilight shouted. Barb still didn’t listen as she continued to try and smash both humans into the ground. She then shot flames from her mouth making the ivory mare freak out as she shouted ‘NOT MY DRESSES!!’

“Aw…” The pink mare whined looked at her treats that littered the floor. “I just made those…”

“Go get em Barb!” The cyan mare shouted as Barb smashed another table.

“You’re not helping Rainbow Dash!” The lavender shouted, glaring at the cyan mare making her back off. After Barb was chasing them around for a bit, she now had both males in a corner who were now cowering in fear.

“We’re screwed…” Scott whimpered as Barb was about to breathe out another breath of fire began to exhale from her lungs.

"Scott if we don't make it out of this, I just want you to know that despite what you put me through, you've been a brother a guy could asked for" James said as his will.

"James, I just want you to know that one time, I accidentally broke your IPod." Scott stated.

"Wait, that was you? You told me a crook stole it!" James said, turning to his brother with anger to his voice.

"I had to work for a new one though. I made it up to you for that." Scott said apologetically. Barb soon breathed out a jet of green flames at the two as they braced themselves for the ongoing pain they were about to feel. They waited for about a few seconds and had their eyes closed. When they felt nothing, Scott and James open their eyes to see that they were surrounded by a large barrier. Barb then turns to the lavender girl who was glaring at the female dragon.

“That’s enough Barbara!” Twilight called out, as the horn on her head began to glow. James and Scott get shocked as the dragon girl was surrounded in a bubble similar to the one both brothers were in. “What is going on?”

“I was trying to teach these asshole a lesson for calling me a Lizard.” She growled turing to the still trapped humans in the other bubble.

“That still doesn’t excuse you for making a complete mess of what we were trying to finish here.” The lavender mare said, pointing around towards the damage that Barb caused. She looks around to see that several items around the shop were either smashed or burned.

“Oh…” She barely managed to say as she noticed the damage she caused. “Sorry you guys.”

“I don’t think sorry is gonna cut it Barb. You tend to let you temper get the better of you when you’re insulted.” The lavender mare added making Barb back off. She then turns to both males who were still shocked at what happened, and flinched when she turns in their direction.

“As for you two, why is Celestia’s name did you call Barb a lizard?” She added with a scowl on her face, getting the brothers attention. “What is wrong with you?”

“Well excuse us for not realizing that she was a dragon right away.” Scott said defensively.

“We’re still confused as hell on how we got here.” Scott followed up.

“How can stallions not know what a dragon is?” She added, making the two males even more confused. “And what do you mean by you don’t know how you got here?”

“Uh lady? We’re not stallions we’re humans.” James called out, making the girls gasp in response. The cyan mare just stares at them in confusion.

“You’re joking right?” She followed up. “There’s no way humans exist. They’re myths.”

“What part of us in anyways do you see us as stallions?” James followed up as he stood up and helped up his brother. The girls then looked closely at the two males and are shocked to notice that they were telling the truth.

“Wait, so you’re really humans?” Twilight asked still in shock as well as her friends.

“YES!!!” James and Scott shouted, a little irritated from what was going on.

“Great...guess this means that Lyra wasn’t crazy.” Barb grumbled as she realized that she just lost a bet. She crossed her arms while still sitting in her bubble.

“This is amazing!” Twilight said as her horn glowed and a quill and paper appeared out of nowhere and into her hands. “What is your civilization like? What are your hobbies? How did you get here? What transportation do you have?” James and Scott were just bombarded with question from the lavender mare and it was just getting ridiculous.

“Twilight darling,” The ivory mane said, grasping the lavender shoulder. “I’m sure you want to know what they are,” Rarity then turns the mare around to the damage that Barb created around the room. “But I do believe that we are still in a rather precarious situation.”

‘Least we know the crazy mare’s name now.’ James whispered to Scott.

‘No kidding.’ Scott whispered back. The guys are shaken from their brief conversation as the lavender mare started to have a panic attack as she noticed the damage ‘again.’

“Oh no… we’re doomed....” She said as she starts to hyperventilate. “Our setup is completely ruined!”

“Twilight darling,” Rarity said in a nervous tone. “Please try to calm down.”

“HOW CAN I CALM DOWN!!?” Twilight shouted in Rarity’s face while grabbing her arms and shaking her like a rag doll. “EVERYTHING WE TRIED TO MAKE IS RUINED!!!”

“Take it easy Twi.” The cyan mare said as she tried to walk over to the mare. “We can just fix up everything.”

“EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!!” She shouted turning to the cyan mare with a crazed look in her eye. “PRINCESS CELESTIA WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE AND I DOUBT THAT THIS IS THE LAST THING SHE WOULD WANT TO SEE!!!”

The other girls try to step in to try and calm down the crazy mare, but she only seemed to backlash at them. While this was going on, the guy just stared at everyone.

‘This almost feels like a teenage sitcom…’ James thought the longer he watched this fiasco that was unfolding.

‘Wow this chick is crazier than the one who tried to kill us.’ Scott thought, as he looked at her in utter confusion. ‘At least thanks to that ivory woman I know her name as well as the dragon girls’

“So how’re we gonna get out of this one?” Scott asked, turning to his brother.

“What’s wrong with her?” James adds as he points to Barb in her containment who acted as if she was sick. She was holding her stomach while she was still inside the bubble. She held her stomach in pain for a bit and the rest of the girls didn’t even pay attention. She holds her mouth as well and a few seconds later, she pokes out a letter.

“Did she eat paper or something?” Scott asked confused as to what just happened.

“Just what messed up world did we wind up in?” James added. While Twilight was still having her panic attack and the girls are still trying to calm her down, Barb taps on her bubble trying to get the girls attention, but it wasn’t working.

Twilight as she called herself began pacing around the room still in her panic and it looks like the girls weren’t able to calm her down. Seeing as that wasn’t working, James claps his hands together to get the crazy mare’s attention.

“HEY, FOUREYES!!” James followed, up by shouting towards the mare. This makes Twilight and the other girls turn to his direction.

“What?” Twilight asked. “And don’t call me four eyes.”

“That girl you mentioned named Barb wants you.” James said pointing towards the female dragon who was still holding the letter. The girls then turn to Barb and see her holding the letter. Twilight’s horn glowed again, and Barb falls from where she was suspended in mid-air and falls on her butt.

“What is it Barb?” Twilight asked helping up her assistant. Barb just hands Twilight the letter and she reads it.

Dear Twilight,

I’m sorry, but it looks like I won’t be able to make it to Ponyville for our private party. Something came up on my end, so It appears I had to reschedule our condolences. I’m sorry for having you set up something for nothing.

Your mentor, Princess Celestia.

“Guess you got worried for nothing Twilight.” Barb added as she walked up to her and gave her a hug. “Means we got off lucky, so could you please calm down?”

“Wonder what came up for her to cancel?” The yellow mare asked as she and the rest of her friends walked up to console Twilight.

“Who cares?” The cyan mare added in annoyance. “It only means we did all of this for nothing. Even when Barb came in and smashed everything.”

“Speaking of smashing,” the orange mare added turning to the two humans still trapped in their bubble. “Y’all mind explainin’ why ya called Barb here a lizard?”

“We thought she was a lizard, okay?” Scott said in a blunt tone. Barb look ready to break something again she she growled in anger. James promptly slaps his brother in the back of his head.

“OW!” Scott groaned as he turned to his brother. “What was that for?”

“Scott,” James said in a calm tone despite being upset with his brother. “Since you have a tendency to say something stupid that almost always gets us into trouble, and since it’s your fault that we’re stuck in a world we know nothing about, I think it’s best if I do the talking.” James added, and it scared Scott into backing off.

“Anyways,” James then turns to the girls. “We weren’t intending to call her a lizard. We’re not even sure how we got here.”

“Then why did we find ya at our family barn?”The shorter golden mare with a red mane said as she stood near the orange mare.

“That’s just it we don’t know.” James followed up. “Can we at least introduce each other? I’d rather not get off to a bad start.”

“Little too late for that…” The cyan mare said in a blunt tone, making the orange mare smack her in the back of the head again. “Come On! That was three times today!” She yelled in anger.

“He does have a point.” The ivory mare called out, walking up to James and Scott who were still trapped in the bubble. “You remember how we treated Zecora without getting to her, right girls?” All of the girls except for the three younger mares froze in place and blushed slightly remembering that horrible time.

“Don’t remind us of that Rarity.” The cyan mare added, shuddering at that day.

“Well then,” Rarity said as she turned back to both males. “My name is Rarity Belle.” She added while holding out her hand. James and Scott just stare at her bluntly.

“You do realize we’re still trapped in this giant bubble right?” James added pointing at the lavender sphere still surrounding them. Twilight makes a nervous face and her horn on her head glows making the force field surrounding both males disappear. Scott immediately hid behind James after their earlier encounter with Barb.

“S-she’s not gonna attack us again is she?” Scott stuttered as he looked at her with a fearful gaze.

“Depends if you call me a lizard again, jerk.” She growled and he claws popped out.

“Barbra!” Twilight exclaimed, scolding the dragon. Barb of course did growl, but she backs off. Twilight then turn to both males. “Sorry about my assistant. The last stallion that called her a lizard, spent the next few weeks in the hospital.”

“Well, despite the rough start, she has a nice name.” Scott followed up, but it didn’t so well to curve her anger as she still glared at him.

“Like I need to hear that from you!” She shouted spitting out a few flames making the two humans falter back in fear.

“Barbra!” Twilight yelled, calling the dragoness out. She once again back off by walking up to the rest of the girls. Twilight then turns back to both males with an innocent smile. “Sorry about her attitude. Being a dragoness, they tend to hold onto grudges more often than other ponies.”

“Kinda noticed.” Scott said peeking from behind his brother.

“Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle.” She said as she held her hand out for a handshake. Scott decided to stay back, so James was the first to walk forward and hold his hand out for a handshake.

“Nice to meet you Ms. Sparkle.” James said in a polite manner, but noticed her expression turn a bit sour.

“I’m not that old, so you don’t have to call me Ms. Sparkle” She said in a blunt tone while shaking his hand.

“Hehe, my bad.” James added. Scott walks up to Twilight and shakes her hand with a friendly yet nervous smile

“You already met Barb,” she added turning to her still pouting adoptive sister. “Despite the rough start, neither of you show any physical harm.”

“Hehe, right.” Scott added, in a rather nervous tone. The other mares soon step forward and introduce themselves. Up first was the orange mare in the stetson hat. She had her eyes closed, but greeted the two with a friendly smile.

“Mah name’s Applejack sugarcube.” She said in a rather calm yet cheerful southern voice. “And y’all already met mah little sister Applebloom.” She added reaching over and grabbing the yellow girls arm. She holds her hand out for a handshake. When James and Scott reached out to shake her hand, they felt themselves getting tossed around like rag dolls from how strong she was.

“N-n-n-i-ce t-t-o m-mee-t y-you!” James stuttered since it was hard for him to speak. Scott was struggling to talk as well since he was having a much harder time to say a sentence with being AJ was still shaking him until a hand from behind her, grasped her shoulder making the mare stop shaking the two humans, and turned to the ivory mare.

“Sorry about Applejack,” she spoke in a posh elegant voice. “She tends to forget how strong she is when greeting someone shorter than her.”

“Somepony?” James asked confused. “You mean somebody right?”

“No I meant somepony.” She repeated.

“Yeah where we’re from it’s somebody.” Scott pointed out.

“I’ll have to take notes later.” Twilight added jotting down notes on her clipboard. The ivory mare just sighed and turns back to both males. “Just ignore her. She tends to get over excited about learning something new.”

“Yeah, we’ve noticed.” James remarked.

“Anyways, my name is Rarity Belle.” She said as she knelt down giving both males a view of her cleavage. “And I see you’ve already met my younger sister Sweetie Belle.” She added, pointing to the younger ivory mare the guys met earlier.

“Hi!” She said just waving hello. With an innocent smile. The cyan mare soon walks up to both males. She was standing with the other two girls the duo met before Barb chased them into town.

“Call me Rainbow Dash. Fastest flyer in all or Ponyville.” She boasted while showing of her proud physique. “Try not to stare too much.” She added, flexing her wings behind her.

‘Is she serious?’ Scott thought as he looked at her with how she just bragged about herself.

‘Why do I get the feeling her braggin is gonna piss me off soon?’ James thought as he just stare at her with a dull yet confused expression. She soon felt her tail pulled, by Rarity who had a dark expression on her face.

“Must you brag about yourself all the time?” She said in a dull tone.

“Well I can’t help it if I’m awesome.” She added. The orange girl with the purple mane walks over to her.

“And she has her number one fan to backup those claims.” She added making a peace sign with one hand while wrapping her arm around Rainbow’s waist. This only made James and Scott cringe and shy away from her even further.

“Really Scootaloo?” Rarity followed up. The orange mare just grinned.

“Okay then.” The guys were about to say hello to another mare, when the pink mare jumps in front of both males making them freak out as the pink mare had both males in a death hug.

“So what do you like doing? What games do you play? Do you like Parties? Do you like cakes?” She spoke as if she was on helium and the brothers couldn’t understand her since she was talking so fast. It also wasn’t helping that she had them against her rather huge chest in their face. Both brothers were struggling to breathe as the mare kept asking questions, until Twilight’s horn lit up and she managed to pulled the crazed mare off of them. The guys were able to breathe finally and the pink mare was floating above them as she was placed beside Twilight.

“Sorry about Pinkie,” Twilight said as she help up both brothers up with her magic. “She tends to be pretty overactive.” Pinkie just blushed form embarrassment as she rubbed the back of her head, and gave an innocent smile.

“Kinda noticed that.” Scott added brushing himself off.

“Well I’m just get excited whenever I meet a new face.” She added while pulling out a random party cannon from out of nowhere confusing both males. “That reminds me, since you’re technically aliens in the pony world, are you gonna probe us?” She asked innocently. The guys immediately fall over like how you would in anime when she asked that question as if nothing was wrong.

“Really?” James remarked. “We’re here for five minutes and that the first thing you ask us?”

“We don’t even own a probe.” Scott followed up. “So where the hell you get that from?”

“Just a hunch.” She said with a grin and with her eyes closed. James and Scott just stared at her.

‘Does this chick have a screw loose or something?’ Both brothers thought as they continued to stare at her in confusion. There was an awkward silence until Twilight ‘ahems’ and all eyes were now on her.

“Anyways,” Twilight then pushes the yellow mare with a light pink mane forward. “This is Fluttershy.” Fluttershy just looked at both males but she wouldn’t stop shaking. Both males walk forward, she ‘eeps’ and hides behind her mane. She jumps back behind Rainbow Dash and she was still shaking.

“Guess her reaction matches her namesake.” James remarked in a calm tone.

“You guessed it.” Twilight followed up. “She’s like this when she comes across new faces.”

“I noticed.” James added, but he wasn’t offended. “Everyone has their quirks that make them special.” James added making the pony blush.

“So you think you can tell us who you guys are now?” Rainbow Dash asked in a rather bored tone.

“Well, my name is James Mccloud.” James said introducing himself. “And this is my step brother Scott Jones.” He adds patting his brother on the back.

“Hehe…” Scott nervously chuckled as he wave a hand around as a hello. He then turns to barb with a nervous smile. He does take a deep breath and walks up to Barb. “Sorry about the whole lizard comment.” He added while holding out his hand for a handshake. What he got in return, was Barb puffing out smoke from her nose. The smoke hits Scott square in the face as he coughs from it.

“Barb!” Twilight shouted, scolding the dragoness. “He at least tried to apologize!”

“He’s lucky he’s not in a hospital right now.” Barb added walking away from the girls. James walks over to Scott who was still in a coughing fit from the smoke that Barb breathed in his face.

“You okay man?” James asked Scott, patting his back. Scot soon stopped his coughing fit and turns to his brother.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He then turns to Twilight. “What the heck is her deal?”

“Sorry about Barb,” Twilight said in a disheartened tone. “Being a dragon, they tend to hold grudges a little longer than ponies.”

“Least I was trying to mend things.” Scott added as he got up and dusted himself off. Barb just sat at a random table by herself.

“Y’all mind explainin why ya called her a lizard if it wasn’t to insult her?” Applejack asked.

“It wasn’t intentional.” James stated. “Where we’re from, dragons as well as what you girls are, are considered myths.”

“Interesting.” Twilight said writing down what James said. The young man just looks at her confused, and turns to the rest of the girls.

“Is she always like this?” James asked turning to the rest of her friends.

“You get use to it.” Rarity followed up.

“So unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies don’t exist from your world?”

“Ponies?” Scott asked. “You mean horses right?” This was met with another slap courtesy of Rarity. “OW! Why do you keep slapping me?”

“Why do you keep calling us whorses?” Rarity growled.

“Wait a minute…” James spoke up getting everyone’s attention. “Does the word horse have a different meaning here?”

“Yeah, it means you keep calling us sluts.” Rainbow Dash remarked crossing her arms. The brothers raise a brow and look at each other in confusion before looking back at the girls.

“That word describes a type of animal where we’re from.” James added. Meanwhile Scott stood up, rubbing his cheek. “How is it spelled here?” None of the girls said anything aloud, but Applejack walks up and whispers into James’ ear to describe how it was spelled. His eyes went big after Applejack was done and walked away.

“Oh... yeah it’s not spelled with a W where we’re from.” James added. “We probably should’ve asked.”

“At least you could’ve mentioned something about that earlier before you slapped me.” Scott groaned rubbing his sore cheek. “Christ that smarts…”

“Any other questions?” Twilight asked.

“Does that mean we should avoid saying that you girls wear saddles as well?” Scott followed up. The girls all get confused by what he meant and James just slaps himself in the forehead.

“What the hay do y’all mean by that?” Applejack asked. Before Scott could answer, James slaps him in the back of the head.

“Nothing… nothing important… hehe…” Scott said in a nervous tone as he and James calm down.

“Anyways,” James added in response and clearing his throat. “Can we try to understand where we are exactly?”

“Well, you’re both in Ponyville.” Twilight explained walking back to her friends. “And you’re both currently in the land of Equestria.”

“WE’RE WHERE!?” Both brother’s shouted at the same time currently freaking out a little.

“You’re in Equestria silly filly.” Pinkie said as she pulls out a party cannon from out of nowhere. “And you know what that means, A PARTY!!” She shouted as she pulls the string from the cannon and it goes off covering the entire room with party decorations. There was already party decorations that replaced the old ones as well as some of the stuff that Barb burned and smashed in the room

“Where did you-?” James asked in confusion and Scott was just as confused as to what just happened.

“Don’t ask.” All the other girls, other than Pinkie bring up after she was finished. They look at the banner above them and it said ‘Welcome To Equestria extraterrestrials’ Party.

“Okay then…” Scott added a little creeped out from what she just saw. “So what’s gonna happen with us exactly?” Scott asked, but he was going to regret it really fast.

“Well you’re a rare race here,” Twilight explained. “And we thought that your kind were a myth, so I have to know what you look like. Inside,” She added putting on a few plastic gloves. “,and out.”

“W-why’re you looking at us like that?” Scott asked a little nervous as the mare suddenly get too close to their personal space.

“Twilight, you’re creeping us out.” James added.

“Twilight darling,” Rarity called out getting the ecstatic mares attention. “I think you should hold off on that. You’re scaring the poor stallions.”

“But they’re a new species.” Twilight replied. “I have to learn about them.”

“You can do that without trying to dissect us ya know.” James remarked. Twilight was about to say something else when a crash was heard from behind her. It gets everyone’s attention as they look on the floor to see a brick on the floor.

“Who threw that?” Scott asked in confusion as the sounds of chatter and anger outside sparked everyone’s attention.

“It came from outside.” Twilight said as everyone in the bakery went outside, only to come face to face with a few angry locals who clearly were not happy.

“Yeah, they don’t look too happy…” Scott said with concern.

“Ya think?” James added with a sarcastic tone as he counted a total of fifteen locals most of which were mares with a few stallions.

“There she is!” One of the locals shouted, pointing directly at Barb with a hateful glare. “You burned my mane, you scaly bitch!”

“HEY!!” Barb shouted as she started to breathe out a small spark of flames.

“She even burned my roses!” Shouted a mare holding a bouquet a burned roses.

“Well these two decided to be idiots.” Barb remarked pointing at the two humans.

“Well you think that justifies you torching my business?” The mare countered back. The stallion holding pieces of his destroyed stand walked up with a furious look on his face.

“You even smashed my cabbage stand.” He remarked. “At least whatever they are were considerate to move out of the way.”

“He’s got you there.” Scott remarked in a jokey tone, but his brother James glares at him.

“You’re not helping Scott.” James followed up.

“Well who's gonna be paying for the damages?” The mare in the crowd said in response.

“Hey, even though she caused most of the damage, we’re just as guilty here.” James said as he stepped in.

“Dude, what’re you doing?” Scott asked.

“Well it’s thanks to you saying something stupid that offended her, you actually initiated her to go insane.”

“Well how was I supposed to know that the word lizard was offensive to her?” James elbows Scott in the gut making him stagger.

“Scott, think before you speak.” James whispered. “When things start to calm down, we can ask her why it’s offensive later on.” He added, before turning back towards the crowd. “Listen everyone, ponies or whatever, we are the reason that Barb caused the destruction of your businesses. We will do everything in our power to help restore your businesses. Right Scott?” James adds, turning towards his brother, while at the same time stepping on his foot making the brother yelp in pain.

“R-right…” He said, trying to keep a smile as everypony just continues to stare at them.

“And what are you two exactly?” The mare in the crowd said as her anger suddenly turns to curiosity.

“We’re both humans. But despite our weird appearances, we’re actually the same as you ponies are.” James finished, and the crowd actually gets shocked.

“Great…”A stallion groaned in response. “Guess that means I owe that Lyra mare fifty bits.”

“I think we all do…” A mare in the crowd followed up as the crowd finally leaves. James and Scott then turn to the girls who are shocked at what happened.

“That... was amazing…” Twilight said in disbelief.

“Yeah my brother has that way of talking down people, or ponies for that matter.” Scott said, and James just rubs the back of his head in embarrassment. “Kind of his special ability.”

“Guess that’s some talent.” Applejack responded. “So what’s your talent?” She turns to Scott.

“Besides being a dumbass?” Barb remarked.

“Yeah, that’s kinda the case.” James remarked.

“Hey!” Scott groaned. “I’m not that big of a dumbass. I didn’t know that lizard was offensive to her.” The sounds of growling were heard as Scotts turns to Barb who glared at him, and looked ready to breathe more flames. “Wasn’t trying to insult you…” Scott followed up, holding his hands up defensively.

“Try saying that again, and we’ll see if you’re fireproof.” Barb added, and Scott takes a step back. James gets between the two.

“Look,” James said in response. “Scott didn’t mean to call you a lizard, okay? It’s just you’re full of scales, and you have reptilian eyes, and from what I remember dragons have wings. And sadly that’s the first thing that came to mind.”

“Yes I have scales and reptilian eyes. But I’m known as a dragon.” She responded. “I just don’t have my wings yet, and you’re idiot brother calling me a lizard is like calling me a whorse.”

“Well excuse me since we don’t know what world we wound up in.” Scott remarked.

“Maybe if we learned a little more about this place, we can learn what we can and can’t say.” James said in response. Both brothers soon look at Twilight and notice a gleam in her eye. Her face showed excitement as well as a wide grin. “Why’re you looking at us like that?”

“Did you say that you wanted to learn about Equestria?” She asked in a rather creepy tone.

“Yeah I did but-” James didn’t even get to finish as his arm was grabbed by the lavender unicorn mare and she did the same with Scott, grabbing him by his shirt. “Woah Hey!” James remarked but he and his brother are soon dragged with Twilight.

“I can take you both to my place to where you can learn about Equestria’s history.” Twilight said in an excited tone.

“You don’t gotta drag us on the road!” Scott added as he and his brother are dragged along the street.

“You just had to say learn…” Barb groaned as she chased after Twilight, leaving the rest of their friends behind.

“Well this turned into a crazy day. I’ll catch you girls later.” Rainbow Dash said as she takes off to who knows where.

“Wait for me!” Scootaloo shouted as she jumped on her scooter and tailed after her adoptive sister.

“Well, I should go back to my boutique.” Rarity added, turning to Sweetie Belle. “Come along Sweetie Belle. I think we’ve had enough craziness for today.”

“Sure sis.” Both unicorns soon leave afterwards.

“Well, ah’m a head back to the farm.” Applejack said turning towards Applebloom. “Knowing Barb, we gotta major mess to clean up.”

“Oh, ah almost forgot.” Applebloom called out. “Those two males that Twilight dragged away, still have most of their things in the barn.”

“Seriously?” She added. “Well knowing Granny Smith, she might accidentally throw it away.” Applejack then grabs Applebloom’s arm. “Come one sugarcube. If we run we can make it back to the farm.” Both farmgirls soon take off leaving Pinkie alone.

“Guess that leave me and you to clean up the mess that Barb made.” Pinkie said in a bubbly tone as she hugged the shy mare next to her. Fluttershy didn’t say a word, and just let out an innocent smile. As both mares walked inside the bakery to repair the damage that Barb made.

Chapter 2 (Edited)

“I have so much to tell you about how Equestria was born.” Twilight said as as the oblivious mare dragged the two male humans along the floor. She pretty much speed walked past past most of the confused locals holding both James and Scott by their shirts as they were getting dragged through the dirt and grass. The brothers tried their hardest to get Twilight’s attention, but had no luck.

“Twilight!” Barb shouts as she finally catches up to her sister after finally catching up to the lavender unicorn mare.

“Oh, hey Barb!” Twilight said as she turned around to see the female dragon behind her. “What’s up?”

“I Came to stop you from killing these two.”

“What’re you talking about?” Twilight asked. Barb only points behind Twilight and she looks at the damage she did to the two males. James and Scott were covered in dirt and grass clipping after being dragged on the floor. In a panic she let’s go of their shirts.

“Oh Celestia! I’m so sorry!”

“Sure, now she let’s go…” James groaned as he popped a few joints. Scott followed up popping his neck slightly after getting dragged on the floor.

“What the heck was that for?” Scott groaned looking up and the blushing unicorn mare.

“Sorry about that.” Barb said as she walked over to the two males. “When she hears the word study or learning, she ignores whatever is around her.”

“That would’ve been good to know.” James added, getting up from the floor. He then turns to Twilight with a blunt expression. “In the future, you think you can try to not drag anyone on the ground?”

Twilight only blushes at that response. “Sorry. Well anyways, with your current situation, neither of you have a place to stay?”

“Now that you mention that no.” James added. “We only got teleported here by some strange crystal we found, most of our things came with us that are still at that barn where we ran from, also what we had to deal with after getting chased around town by Barb.”

“Oh relax, it’s not like I killed you both.” Barb replied.

“Not yet anyway.” Scott remarked. Barb just glares at Scott, making him shrink back.

“Anyways, what all came with you both?” Twilight asked, turning to James.

“Well other than our suitcases and gaming systems as well as our laptops and phones, pretty much nothing else.”

“And our stuff is still at the farm when we got chased all the way out here.” Scott followed up.

“Well you both can stay with us.” Twilight followed up. Barb immediately looked at her funny.

“You’re kidding right Twilight?” Barb said, while glaring a Scott.

“Barb, they don’t have a place to stay.” Twilight said with a stern glare. “So I think it’s only fair that they can at least stay with us.”

“You just want an excuse to experiment on them don’t you?” Barb remarked.

“BARB!!” Twilight yelled. James and Scott only stared at her in fear and confusion.

“This doesn’t feel like it’s gonna bode well for us is it?” Scott asked.

“Depends if you say something dumb again.” James followed up.

“Guy says one stupid word, and never hears the end of it.” Scott grumbled to himself.

“Fine,” Barb said in response. “But if ‘that one’ calls me a lizard again, he’ll know what his insides look like.” She followed up pointing towards Scott followed with a huff and turns around. Twilight only sighs as she turns back to both males.

“I’m sorry about my assistant.” Twilight said pressing her hands together.

“Don’t worry about it.” James said. “As long as you don’t strap us to a table and poke us with knifes, I think we’ll be fine. I won’t mind reading what you have here.”

“Anyways, our house is your house.”

“Well that’s very kind of you Twilight.” James said appreciatively.

“We’re getting close anyway.” Twilight added, pointing towards a large tree that was in the center of town.

‘That’s a house?’ both brother’s thought when they looked at the large tree house.

“This is the house that Princess Celestia gave me and Barb to live in when we moved here.” Twilight explained.

“Must’ve been nice of her.” James said.

“Good, now let’s not waste time and get you both fixed up.” Twilight said. She tried to grab both males arms only for the two to back away.

“I think we can walk for ourselves Twilight.” James replied.

“That we can agree on.” Scott followed up. “I’d rather not be dragged through town again.”

“Hehe…” Twilight nervously blushed at the thought. “Right… let’s just forget about that and come inside.” She added. The guys followed the studious mare and agnry dragoness inside. Little do they know, their lives are going to change forever.

-Twilight’s Library-

“Sorry about that.” Twilight said in a sheepish tone. “Whenever I hear the terms of study or learning, I get excited.”

“Would’ve been good to know, if you didn’t drag us through town like that.” James groaned still picking twigs out of his spiky hair. Scott was a little worse as he was applying cream on a bruise that started to burn. Barb was not in the room with the males or Twilight since she went upstarts to change her clothes.

“I’ll say,” Scott groaned. “It’s like in one ear, and out the other.”

“Anyways,” James said as he looked around the room. There was a large assortment of books around the entire building. “Your home is more of a library in a sense.”

“I just love to read.” Twilight followed. “I always have to be at the top of my studies when it comes to being Princess Celestia's student.”

“Wait a minute, you’re a student to royalty?” Scott asked a little interested.

“Exactly.” Twilight said proudly. “I’ve been the princesses student since I was a filly.”

“Must be a rather unique achievement.” James added in response. “Any idea on how you got into her school?”

A fond smile appeared on her lips. “Ever since I was little I was always amazed at the wonders magic can do for ponies, so I studied everything I could on the subject until I was enrolled into Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns.”

“Does she happen to be bald with telekinesis and in a wheelchair?” A chuckle escaped Scott’s mouth making the mare stare at him confused, but slightly angered.

“And just what is that supposed to mean?” She growled, her horn glowing a bright lavender aura. “Are you trying to insult Princess Celestia?” She added with a stern glare. Scott started to get nervous as he slowly back away from the angry mare.

“He wasn’t insulting your monarch,” James said stepping in. “It’s just a human reference we have.” Twilight calmed down after hearing this, and her horn died down.

“Anyway, after I was enrolled I had to pass an entrance exam towards the teachers there.”

“What was the exam about?” James asked sitting down in a random chair.

“I had to hatch a dragon’s egg for my exam.” She answered.

“Wait, you had to hatch an egg?” Scott asked in confusion. “That must’ve been hard.”

“Yes, it wasn’t easy for me at all.” She said in a calm tone. “I actually thought I would fail and never get in the school, but thanks to Rainbow Dash performing her sonic rainboom, I not only passed my exam, but it was also the day I got my cutie mark and became Celestia’s student.”

“You mean that cocky mare we met with earlier?” James remarked. “She helped you get in?”

“She did.” Twilight followed up. “She’s also the reason me and my friends came together to bear the Elements Of Harmony.”

“Element’s of what now?” Scott asked confused. James was just as confused as his brother.

“The elements of harmony are a big part of Equestria.” Twilight explained as her horn grew a lavender color. She pulls a book from the shelf and opened it on a specific page. “Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty, and Magic. They represent the magic of friendship. My friends and I represent the elements.”

“Seems pretty unique.” James added. “So you girls are in a way super heroes?”

“Well…” Twilight said with a blush. The sounds of footsteps stop her mid sentence. Everyone looks up to see Barb walking downstairs wearing a pair of baby blue shorts and a yellow tank top. She stretched her limbs and felt some of her joints pop before looking at the group below her.

“Hey Twilight.” She said as she began walking downstairs. She glares at Barb menacingly making him hide behind his brother in a panic. “What were you talking about?”

“Oh, they asked about the Elements of Harmony not too long ago.” She answered. “They also asked on how I hatched Barb in my exam earlier.”

“So you’re kind of like Barb’s mother?” James asked. Twilight pretty much blushed at that.

“Well, yes and no.” She admitted. “I felt that way back then, but we shared more of a sisterly bond rather than a mother and daughter bond with each other.”

“Still must’ve been a pretty great bond for you and her.” Scott followed up. ‘Despite that crazy chick tried to kill us earlier.’ Scott mumbled the last part under his breath.

“What was that?” Twilight asked.

“Ah, nothing.” Scott said nervously, sitting up as if nothing happened.

“Well you gotta know who your parents are if they let you stay here.” James added. Barb’s expression changed when James brought that up.

“Um, I never knew who my parents were.” Barb said in response to James’s question.

“So you don’t know who your birth parents are?” Scott asked.

“No...I never did. I’ve been raised by Twilight and Celestia my whole life, so I don’t even know who or what my parents look like.” She said sadly.

“So you’re just like me…” Scott said getting Barb’s attention.

“What’re you talking about?”

“I never knew who my dad was when I was born.” Scott said, making the female dragon’s ears perk up. “I never knew my old man and whenever I ask my mom, she would cry and say that it’ll be better if I didn’t know.”

“Wow…” Barb said in shock. “You only lived with your mother.”

“Yeah…” Scott followed up. “I only knew my mother, not my father. I don’t even know where he is, and frankly I don’t care. Whoever he is, he can take a hike.” He added in a rather harsh tone.

“What about you?” Twilight asked turning to James. He doesn’t respond.

“He doesn’t like to talk about it.” Scott followed up. “And before you say anything, he said ‘unless he brings it up,’ I’m not allowed to talk about it. Personal reasons.”

“Hold on a minute,” James said in response getting the girls attention. “When you said you had to take an entrance exam to get into that school, are they all at random depending on the subject?” He asked wanting to change the subject.

“Yes, actually.” Twilight explained. “Every unicorn gets in differently at that school.”

“That’s pretty unique.” Scott followed up. “So it’s like one of those prestige magic colleges?”

“It is.” Twilight followed up.

“It was also where I was born.” Barb followed up. “In a way, I was raised by a lot of ponies.”

“Other ponies?” James asked.

“My parents, myself and Princess Celestia.” Twilight added.

“You must think highly of her?” James asked.

“I do.” Twilight added as she used her magic and pulled down several books from a random shelf. “A lot of the ponies do since she pretty much protects all of Equestria and its ponies.”

“So she’s like a motherly figure to you?” Scott added. “Must be real nice to have someone to look up to.”

“That’s right…” Twilight added, setting all of the books down onto the table. “Now, let’s get you both filled in on Equestrian history.”

“This is gonna feel like high school all over again.” Scott groaned. James only sighed at how his brother acted.

“Come on Scott,” James replied. “It’s best we learn about how this world works compared to where we’re from, so to not repeat that earlier mistake.” James added, looking at Barb. Scott shudders at what happened earlier.

“Right.” Scott added with a nervous tone. “Just to let you both know I have dyslexia so it may be hard for me to read.” Scott added and the girls said ‘OK’. As he pulled out a few books and noticed a book with a gilded spine and silver leafing, he didn’t think much of at first but felt something and looked over the book, he couldn’t stop staring at the book on the table almost feeling drawn to it. Scott then picks up the book from the stack and looks at the cover, a red and pearl silver helix with a long slender looking dragon surrounding it. ‘Huh... looks old, wonder what it’s about?’. Curiously he felt a strange pull from it and wondered what was causing it. He looked up at Twilight ‘Maybe she knows what kind of book it is.’ He thought.

“Hey Twilight, what’s this book?” Scott asked, while holding the book from the stack Twilight pulled.

“Oh, Princess Celestia actually sent that to me to try and decipher what was in the book.” Twilight replied stacking the books in chronological order with her magic. “I couldn’t read the translations inside though. I thought about sending it back to her but forgot about it.”

“Really?” Scott remarked. He opens the book and like Twilight mentioned, the book was in a completely different language. In fact the first sentence he read was:

‘βασιλική αιματηρή οικογένεια των δίδυμων φυλών δράκων.’

“What the heck kind of language is this?” Scott groaned when he opened the book.

“I’m not really sure. It’s a language I’ve never seen before.” Twilight added. “Princess Celestia was hoping that I would be able to figure it out, but so far I didn’t have any luck in translation. Ponies know little to nothing about dragons.”

“And I couldn’t read either after I tried to read that book.” Barb followed up as she was shelving a few books back onto the shelf.

“That hard huh?” Scott added as he continued to look through the book. “This thing must be a real pain in the ass.”

“Wait a second…” James remarked as he looked at he took a look at the book Scott had. “This is Greek.”

“Greek?” Barb remarked. “What kind of language is that?”

“It’s mediterranean, but it’s an earth language.” James added, making the girls grow shocked.

“Wait, what?” Barb said as she stopped what she was doing. “How’s that possible?”

“This book was in Celestia’s royal Canterlot Library.” Twilight added. “There’s no way it could be from any other world.”

“We’re telling you girls that this is greek, and it’s how it’s read.” James added as he gave Scott the book back. Only this time it was different. Scott’s Dyslexia kicks in, and the sentence that he couldn’t read earlier, suddenly became readable. The sentence now read:

‘ Royal Bloodline of the Twin Dragon Clans.’

“Bloodline of the twin dragon clans?” Scott asked confused. “The hell does that mean?”

“I’m not sure.” Twilight added. “Barb what do you think? Barb?”

‘Groan...’ A groan was heard as everyone turned and saw the dragoness grabbing her head and leaning on the bookshelf while looking like she was going to be sick.

“Whoa... Barb you’re not looking so good.” James said, getting up from his seat. Scott and Twilight followed suit as they walk away from the table and towards Barb.

“Barb are you okay?” Twilight asked concerned for her sister. While tending to the dragoness noone noticed the book scott held before was glowing a faint white for a few moments.

“Huh...what…?” Barb moaned out as she looked at everyone standing over her. “What happened?”

“You got dizzy all of a sudden…” Scott replied.

“What?”

“You looked like you were going to fall over.” Twilight added. “Did you eat anything strange today?”

“No, just some gems and a couple of sandwiches.”

“Wait, gems?” James asked confused. “As in actual gems?”

“Yeah, what’d you think I just eat, meat or grass?” She asked, the boys cringing at the exact statement they were thinking.

“Woah, that was not what I meant."

“How do you not lose any teeth?” Scott remarked. “If I tried something like that, I’d have to go to a dentist just get my mouth fixed.”

“Like when Tommy Sanders beat you up just for talking to his girlfriend Natalie Thomas, and he punched you hard enough to lose a tooth.” James remarked.

“Hey, Tommy Sanders was a dumb jock and was always with some other girl behind her back, she didn’t deserve that from him.” Scott said.

“And be grateful that I showed him a thing or two after what he did to you.” James added with a crack of his knuckles

“I don’t think that includes breaking the guys arm.” Scott said.

“You broke somepony's arm?” Twilight said surprised.

“He hit my little brother in the face, ok?” James said defensively, while holding up his hands.

“You know how to fight or something?” Barb asked.

“James here is a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, jeet-kune-do, karate, kickboxing, and Judo.” Scott said as he stepped up in his brother’s defense. “You should see some of the trophies he has from junior and senior martial arts tournaments.”

“Well if you know how to fight, then why didn’t you defend yourselves when I tried to pound the two of you earlier?” Barb asked in a dull tone. “Was my strength a surprise to you both or something?”

“Three reasons.” James began. “One, yes because of your strength. Two, I don’t like hitting girls. And three, it wouldn’t have been a good idea because we don’t how some of you would’ve reacted.”

“Basically, we didn’t want to make our situation worse than it already was.” Scott added.

“Well you two did the right thing there.” Twilight brought up. “Had you hurt Barb in anyway, we would’ve gotten the wrong idea, and probably done something a lot worse that was Barb was going to do to you.”

“Like what, lecture them to death?” Barb joked, making Twilight turn towards the dragoness and her horn glow in a lavender aura. Barb shrunk back chuckling nervously. “Oh, right magic.”

“What I don’t understand is how magic exists in this world.” James said in confusion. “Where we’re from, it’s make believe or just a bunch of tricks.”

“Well unless I stop getting interrupted, I can tell you.” Twilight huffed. “Now let’s begin shall we?”

“Sure.” Both brother say in unison as Twilight’s history lecture began.

*Six hours later*

“And that’s the beginning of Equestrian history. Any questions?” Twilight asked looking at the two boys. They were tired and Scott was heavily drooling on the verge of falling asleep, while his brother James was mentally exhausted at the mental overload, his eyes bloodshot, and both males looking like living death with their faces being pale.

“Uugh... and I thought my physics teacher was boring.” Scott mumbled.

“How is someone able to talk so long and be so boring?” James said in disbelief.

“Hey, I was interesting.” Twilight said, feeling offended by the brother’s comments.

“How is showing them graph, charts, and old maps interesting in your six hour lecture?” Barb added, making Twilight puff her cheeks and she glares at Barb.

“Well excuse me since that was only chapter one of Equestrian history.” Twilight followed up, making the brother’s faces even paler.

“THAT WAS CHAPTER ONE!!?” They both shouted in unison in shock.

“Yes, along with how Equestrian culture started out before the princesses and-”

“Uh Twilight, I’d hate to ruin this for you, but it’s nighttime.” Barb pointed out, pointing at the open window. Twilight looks up to see that the moon was out.

“Okay, I guess we can call it a day, we’ll pick this up tomorrow.” Twilight said as she uses her magic to put each of the book and items on a specific shelf for the guys to read at tomorrow.

“Wait, where are we gonna sleep?” Scott asked.

“We have a guest room for anypony staying over.” Twilight mentioned. “You can use that room.”

“Thanks Twilight, we appreciate it very much.” James said. “Also in the near future, maybe you should tone down the length of your lectures so you can keep everyone’s attention.”

“Yeah it’s that back room,” Barb added pointing towards the door behind them. “We also have some sleeping bags in their just in case the beds are a little too small.”

“Thanks.” Scott followed up. Twilight and Barb then go upstairs leaving the brothers to enter the other room. The brothers enter the guest room to see a couple of beds and two sleeping bags on the right side. It had a one way bathroom and a small sink set up.

“Huuuuhhh, finally a moment to rest.” Scott sighed laying on his bed.

“Yeah... today has been crazy hasn’t it?” James followed up, sitting on the other bed.

“I didn’t think a rock I found would find us here.” Scott said in a joke filled tone.

“It’s also your stupidity that nearly got us killed this morning.” James added.

“Not my fault I thought that Barb wasn’t a lizard but an actual dragoness.”

“I’m not even sure how we’re even gonna get home.” James followed up.

“Yeah, I never met someone so obsessed with lectures.” Scott joked.

“Well... she wasn’t that bad.” James defended.

“We were stuck in a room for six hours listening to the fundamental start on the pony tribes, and you say it wasn’t ‘that’ bad?” Scott deadpanned.

“At least she’s committed.” James added. “She’s just someone who does everything by the book.”

Scott snorted. “You and your thing with nerds I’ll never understand.”

“Hey when you look past the ears, tail, and the fur she’s pretty good to look at.”

“So you do admit it, you think she’s hot don’t you?” Scott said smugly only to get a pillow thrown at his face.

“I do not!" James defended with a slight blush. "I just think she’s well gifted in intelligence and is cute.”

“I’m just kidding dude, although now that I think about it some of those girls were easy on the eyes.”

“I bet you want a shot with Barb don’t you?” James countered.

“As if. Dude if you forgotten, she almost tried to kill us earlier and there is no way in hell I have a chance with her anyway.” Scott replied. James of course follows up with a fit of laughter.

“Got you dude.” James replied. “I was just messing with you.”

“Karma for messing with you about Twilight?” Scott asked with an annoyed glare, and James only nods. “Fine, guess we’re even.”

“Let’s just get some sleep and be prepared for tomorrow.” James responded as he lies down. Scott followed suit in his bed and both males had to be prepared for what was to come tomorrow.

-Twilight’s Room-

Barb was wide awake on her bed. After that weird feeling she had earlier, she couldn’t sleep and was starting to feel really hot.

“D..dammit...what’s wrong with me?” She mumbled to herself. Twilight was across from her and she was fast asleep. Barb kept tossing and turning hoping the feeling would go away, but it only got worse. She pulled at her yellow tank top trying to cool herself down but it didn’t help and neither were her baby blue shorts clinging and grinding against her private areas.

“Ugh, why am I so hot?” Barb groaned, biting her lower lip. “I can’t be sick.” After a few more minutes of building heat, Barb was starting to not only feel warm but aroused and began to feel her pussy getting wet through her shorts.

“Oh no, this can’t be happening now.” Barb whined. Having enough, Barb gets up out of her bed and silently walks out of the bedroom and over to the bathroom. Once there she closed the door and quickly took off her shorts leaving on her tank top. Looking into the mirror, Barb could see her large curvy ass, with wide developed hips and a pair of large DD cup breasts straining under her shirt that left many stallions drooling. But what she needed to pay attention to was the dripping she felt between her loins.

“Why in Tartarus am I like this?” Barb said to herself as her folds continued to drip. “I don’t know if it has those two humans have anything to do with this, but I need to take care of this now.” She follows up with a slew of naughty thoughts in mind. Sadly, she didn’t pay attention to the door since it wasn’t closed all the way.

-Downstairs-

“Damnit…” Scott groaned as he suddenly woke up with a sudden feeling in his lips. “Why now of all fucking times?” With another small groan, he gets up from the bed and smacks his lips. He was dressed in his earlier clothes since he and James’ belonging were still at AJ’s farm.

He sees James across from him, but he was out cold on his bed. Scott knew better than to disturb him of his sleep. The last time he did, Scott was against the wall, and missing a tooth. He had to walk quietly as to not disturb his brother and stumbles his way to the upstairs bathroom to relieve himself. When he got closer to the bathroom, he heard low moaning behind the door.

“The hell?” Worried one of the girls was hurt, Scott opens the door. What he sees though, makes him freeze in place and a massive blush on his face completely shocked at what he was seeing.

There, on the counter, was Barb sitting on the edge with her legs spread wide and her eyes closed playing with herself, her fingers sliding back and forth inside her wet slit. She was moaning to her heart's content while her tail swished back and forth grinding at her clit. Scott stared trapped like a deer in headlights unable to look away from her.

Barb soon let out a loud moan, and it appeared she was really getting into it, watching her clear fluids dripping down from her scaled slit. Breathing heavily, she opened her eyes and they went wide in shock seeing Scott in the bathroom with her, watching her masturbate. Her shock soon turns to anger and Scott snaps out of his trance and sees Barbs angry stare boring into his eyes like a drill.

“Just what the fuck do you think you’re doing here?!!” She screamed, standing up from her earlier spot.

Scott stammered trying to come up with an explanation, only to have fear start to sink in to the boy and Scott immediately wanted to leave. Quickly turning around, Scott tried to run only to be stopped suddenly by a purple tail grabbing his ankle making him fall. Barb slowly drags him back inside, with a menacing glare. Scott could only pray at this time since he felt like he was going to die. Barb walks over to the door and closes it, then turns back to Scott with a death glare that would make any sane man piss his pants.

“I have half a mind to fry you till your charcoal right now for barging in here you pervert!” Barb screamed, tightening her tail around his leg.

“I-I-I just wanted some water.” Scott meekly said. Barb only tightens her grip on his leg making him groan in pain. “OW! That’s my leg…”

“And why should I believe that huh? Your like every other asshole I’ve met so far and you just see me and my friends as-agh...uungh...not...now.” Barb was breathing hard now and the grip on Scott’s leg loosened up. Scott wondered what was wrong with her and noticed she was leaking again out of her vagina.

“Barb are...you...okay?” Scott asked concerned.

“Uuugh what’s it...to you...ah...perv?”

“I’m not a perv, I just walked in at a bad time.” Scott said defensively. “I want to help but I could help if you would quit pushing me away.”

“You wanna help me?” Barb asked, still glaring at him, but a blush forms on her face. “Then don’t move.”

“Wait, what?” Scott asked confused. Scott didn’t even have a chance to react when Barb suddenly pulls him close and her lips mashed against his.

Scott’s right eye twitched as he just stood there, frozen. This was no ordinary kiss mind you. Scott could feel her tongue inside of his mouth. Barb had her scaly lips pressed hard against his as her long forked tongue danced inside of his mouth, eager to taste every inch of him.

Scott’s mind slowly caught up to what happened at least ten seconds later, and he pushes Barb off of him in a panic. Barb falls on her bubbly ass and Scott stumbles backwards against the wall.

“THE FUCK WAS THAT?!!!” Scott shouted still freaking out from earlier. Barb soon gets up, only this time she wasn't looking back at him with anger. She was more looking back at him with arousal.

“Well I kissed you.” Barb added, with a hint of lust in her voice. “So what’s the problem?”

“YOU TRIED TO KILL ME AND MY BROTHER EIGHT HOURS AGO!!”

“Does that you mean you won’t accept my ‘apology’?” She said in a husky tone.

“Okay, you’re starting to scare me…” Scott added as he slowly back away towards the wall.

“Aww don’t be afraid stud... I won’t bite...much.” Barb giggled as she slowly crawled towards Scott, a hungry lustful smirk on her face, like a lion after a zebra.

Scott gulped as he in surprise and fear backed away from Barb until his back was against the wall inside the corridor to the bathroom. His eyes glued towards Barb as the female dragoness continued to crawl onto the floor towards him on the bathroom floor until she then stopped in front of him. He could feel her hot breath as she leans forward until her muzzle was just an inch from his neck.

She takes another deep sniff and sighs seductively. The smell of male pheromones is making her body even more hotter than it was before. The smell is making the hot, itchy and twitching feeling between her legs even more unbearable as she continued to leak out more juices.

“Oh wow. You smell… delicious...” she said later revealing her sharp fangs to him in a grin as she then glides her tongue against Scotts neck, making him shudder.

Scott couldn’t help but blush by the feeling he felt as Barb's tongue slithered up and down under and into his shirt. He couldn’t tell whether to feel disgusted or aroused but one feeling was beginning to take over. He wouldn’t lie though. Barb for sure was another species than his own but she still had a very attractive looking body. He then mentally slapped himself.

‘No no what am I thinking. If I recall she almost tried to kill me and my brother a few hours ago and now it seem I'm about to get raped by her as we speak. Only problem is.'

‘WHY AM I ENJOYING THIS!!’

He tried to wiggle out of his predicament but unfortunately he wasn’t fast or strong enough to break Barbs iron grip on him.

Barb held him down by his arms against the wall; her tongue continued to slither down more and more as far as her tongue could go. She retracts her tongue and licked her lips as she stared up at Scotts blushing face.

“Yum you taste delicious. But I want more.” She says as she dove into Scott’s mouth. Her tongue slide all around inside Scott’s mouth feeling his canines and coiling around and wrestling with his tongue.

Scott now wanted to gag as the feeling of her tongue felt like nothing he ever had felt before in his mouth. The sheer amount of length plus the fork end of it felt surprisingly not at all disgusting but more pleasurable. The problem was she was quite aggressive with her tongue.

Barb made sure to explore every corner inside his mouth and even down into his esophagus a little. She made sure to taste every inch of his mouth. She manages to let go of Scotts arms and instead was digging her claws into the sides of his head.

Scott rub his hands a bit to get the feeling in them and quickly tried to push Barb off of him. His first focus was on her arms and tried to pry them off his head, the claws were digging a little too deep for his liking and felt like they were going to pierce right through. He put as much strength as possible to remove her claws but sadly they didn't budge. Her grip was just too great to just to pry her arms off him.

He then tries to push her off him. He first start at the shoulders hoping that will let him push her away, he then moved his hands. Little did he know because of Barb's small structure his hands had ventured a little further south and center than he thought.

“Mmmmm do you like them Scott. Do you like my breasts that much?” she moaned as Scott by instinct gave a gentle squeeze on both of them, making Barb purr in delight. Scott coughed and made a few gag faces as he was relieved of her tongue from his mouth then. And some thoughts were jumping around his head as he got oxygen into his lungs again.

'Big.. Soft.. Melons.'

He took a few breaths of fresh air before feeling something wrapping around his neck tightly. He gagged some more as it became harder to breath. He could feel Barb's scaled and clawed hands wrapping around his neck before his whole body with a jerk was thrown down to the ground and in the direction of the bathroom open door. He stopped moving when he had glided inside the bathroom on the wet tile covered floor.

“AH.” He gasped after being thrown and then stopped moving. He then felt something big, hard and at the same time soft land on his stomach hard. He shot his head forward enough that his nose was entering something wet. After a brief moment of getting his bearings he looks up, only to be staring at barbs wet slit. Barb licks her lips as her clit was staring into Scott's face. He also though he heard the bathroom door close with a click, but he had bigger things to think about now.

“Well stud are you going to give it a lick, or do I have to take it up a notch to make you want to participate?” She said with a devious smile plastered on her face. Scott couldn’t speak as he just stares at Barb's clit, just like a cow staring at an upcoming train. A few seconds passed for Barb and already she was getting annoyed since he wasn’t doing anything to her hot needy slit.

“Fine but I warn you. Dragonesses like to be….. Rough” she smiled and quickly dug her claws into Scott’s pants, tearing into them then, ripping them and along with his boxers off.

“Now let’s see what we- HOLY FUCKING CELESTIA!! YOU’RE….YOU’RE...HUGE!!”

“Wait what…?” Scott then looks down and what he sees shocks him. “Holy shit…” Right between Scotts legs wasn’t his once seven inch dick. What stood before the dragoness and human was a large ten inch penis and it looked like it was at half mast, Scott was dumbstruck at what he was seeing. “WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY DICK?”

“You mean this isn’t even your full size?” Barb added with a lick of her lips. “This only makes things more interesting.” Barb added.

“Interesting how?” Scott added, still stunned by all of this.

“On how long it’ll take for me to get the cream filling.” She added in a lust filled tone, and Scott knew what her intentions were.

Barb only grew even more aroused as she began to massage his sacks and was giving his member tender licks with her long tongue from the head down to the base. She savors his taste since it was her first time with a stallion. She never knew they tasted so good.

She quickly lapped and suckled the head to get him fully hard and ready. She squeezed his sacks again, her long dragon tongue wrapped like a snake around his penis as he squirmed and moaned through the procedure when she was her dragoness tongue.

Despite this being her first time, she acted as though she knew what she was doing. Barb too was surprised as she managed to get him fully hard in no time. She had read some books on stallion’s growth and sizes and even though Scott called her a lizard she got to say. ‘He was hung like a pony.’ His dick stood at seventeen inches in length

“You’re full of surprises aren’t you stud?”

“I guess you could say that.” Scott said still on confusion, but he felt himself getting into it.

She stared at his member like it was an oversize lollipop; her mouth drooled as she couldn’t wait to taste to cream filling inside. Not even giving him some time for a breather she dived in again and taking his whole dick into her mouth and quickly working hard on it.

“AH!” He clutched his teeth as barb didn’t show mercy on his poor dick. The rapid blowjob was too much for him as his body quivered and was burning up with anticipation from Barb's sucking.

He then looked up at Barb's wet pussy and growled. “So you like rough huh.” He roughly grabbed Barb's scaly tush and gave both cheeks a rough squeeze. “Two can play at this game missy.” He dove into her pussy, his tongue stretched out all the way inside. He was surprised at the taste since it tasted familiar except he didn’t know from where. But that didn’t matter to him. She liked it rough so he’ll play rough.

He held her tush down as he brutally sucked on her pussy, he also nibbled the side and top part of her clit leaving small teeth marks on her scales. Barb gasped as she felt every tongue thrust and every nibble that her marehood endured from Scott’s mouth. Her scales hide were tough but somehow Scotts teeth made her quiver and shake in pleasure.

She looked back with determination and let out a giggle. “So finally….. You show your true colors….. Show me more then.” She licked her lips and dove back into Scott’s member. Both of them didn’t even stop or slow down as the continued to suck each other hard.

They both let out several gasps and moans as both continued to brutally suck one another, neither of them giving up. Scott tried his best to hold back as much as possible. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough. Barb was too good at was she was doing and his member couldn’t hold out any longer. He finally gave in, his member shot out large amounts of spunk into Barb's mouth. Barb tried to swallow all of it but she couldn’t. She let go and removed her mouth when the amount became too much for her mouth; the rest coated her face in a large sticky mess. The smell and flavor when it hit her mouth was too much for her and she then came right there.

He thought he lost however just as he came Barb came as well, so she then was coating his face in her sticky feminine fluids. He gasped and held his breath as she continued to spray in his face with her juices. He held out for a few seconds before it stopped and he could breathe again. He took a whiff of her juices and shook his head.

Something about her juices was driving him crazy. His head felt like spinning as his breaths became harder and heavier. Her juices continued to cloud his head as he didn’t realize Barb had turned around and was still on him and pinning his arms down to the hardwood floor.

A sly smile spread across her face as Scott’s member as perfectly a lined with her hot needy entrance and was probing it. “I have to say I’m still a little angry at what you called me this morning but I can’t lie about your sperm. It tasted awesome.” She made his member circle around her outer lips, making the tip of it press against it.

“Now I know how you taste, but now I want to know how you ride.” She smirks as she slammed down hard onto his member. Both let out a loud gasped but quickly shut up so not to wake up the other inside the household. Barb eyes began to tear up a little since it’s her first time and she knew she had to take it slowly, but it was hard to resist.

Scott gasped at the sudden slam and look down at her pussy. He could see a few specs of red sliding down and onto his legging. He gulped as to realize what it was. It was blood; Her blood.

“Oh shit. Are you –” He was cut off as she head butts him and scowled.

“Yes, I’m a virgin alright? I couldn’t take it anymore! This heat was unbearable!” she said. A few tears were seen forming in her eyes and slide down and onto his shirt. Scott shook off the head butt and frowned when he saw. Barb who was rough from the start was actually crying now. He managed to remove his hand from her grip he brought it up and rubbed the tears away from her eyes.

“Hey I didn’t say anything. In fact I’m a virgin too. The only reason I held out longer is because of the training I went through to take the pain.” he said with a reassure smile.

Barb let him wipe her tears and stared down at him surprise. She then looked away for a few seconds before looking at his dorky smile. “So…… will you…. will you...” she gulped a bit. She also bit down on her lower lip in hoping that he agrees on this.

Scott chuckled before looking up at her. “Sure, but only when you show me how good you want me to be.” He smirks at her and removing his shirt, his tone body bulges out enough to make barb’s mouth water.

She drooled a bit before smiling deviously. She then quickly shreds her shirt off revealing her ample breasts before slamming her hands down onto his chest. “Big mistake to say that big boy...” She said seductively.

Barb then started her move in a rhythm that was most comfortable for her. She quickens her bouncing soon enough as well as making several circular and suitable rotary movements while having Scott’s member inside her hot wet tunnel. Scott gasped and moaned as Barb went to work on his dick not slowing down for a second. Barb moaned deeply as the feeling of Scott’s dick made her body twitch more with anticipation and longing.

Scott ventures his hands up and down over Barb's shoulders and body as he felt her hard scales. Even though they were scales and they look like scales, the way they felt was nothing like it. They felt smooth to the touch as he glides his hands down towards her breasts and to her belly. Barb shivered as the feeling of Scotts soft hands gently rubbed her underbelly.

“So,” He smirks. “This is your g-spot huh. Perfect.” He then slowly starting rubbing more onto Barb's soft underbelly. She quivered against his touch but she didn't stop her rhythm. She continued to bounce onto his member harder than ever as Scott rubbed her belly, then leans down so that her breasts were right in his face.

He smiled and reached out and began to suck on her breasts, his tongue circled and moving over her nipples and areolas, his hands traveling to the sides of Barb’s generous hips and helped her bounce along with the rhythm. Scott couldn't help himself as the pressure was building up inside.

“Oh man…. I won’t hold out much longer.” he said panting.

Barb didn't say anything and just wrapped her arms around his head and brought him into a deep kiss as she continued to bounce on him. Scott couldn't hold out anymore. He let out a groan into her mouth as he then shoots his seed out and into her quivering marehood (maybe is it drakehood).

Barb groaned and moaned too as her walls were being painted white from his sperm. Her own orgasm then came, making her insides massage and milk his member like crazy. Making him grunt and moan and some more shots came out from his throbbing member, adding to the already rich amount he had been giving her.

"Ooh geez....you really let out a lot..." was the last thing Barb said as sleep overtook them both. Making them pass out on the bathroom floor. Barb's arms around him and still on top of him and his dick inside her, keeping most of his jizz trapped inside her. Barb's liked the warm feeling that was coming from inside her lower stomach.

-Next Morning-

'Ungh my head. What happened last night?' Scott thought as he awoke from his slumber. He later felt something soft on his body. As he looked up, he saw Barb resting on his chest. Her body heat combined with her scales made a pretty good blanket. As he moved around, Barb began to stir from her slumber.

"Mmm...Morning lover colt." said Barb seductively.

"M-mornin' Barb" Said Scott rather nervously since he now remembered what happened last night.

"Last night was amazing, to say the least."

"Yeah, you could say that."

"You don't sound happy."

"What if Twilight or my brother James walked in on us?"

"I doubt they would care." She said purring, nuzzling her cheek next to his face, but she didn't know how wrong she was gonna be. Scott

-James perspective-

"'Yawn', Mornin' Scott.” James groaned as he woke up from his bed. He stretched from his sleep, and was rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He noticed Scott wasn't in the bed when he just woke up.

“Huh? Scott where are you?" James called out, but he wasn’t there.

"Great, better go find him."

James got up from the bed and was still in the same clothes since yesterday and decided to go upstairs to see if the girls were awake.

“Wonder what Twilight has planned for us today?” James said to himself but in a disheartened tone. “Maybe a lecture on all of the cities within Equestria.” James walked out of the bedroom and searched for his brother in almost every room, except for Twilight’s room. James thought the two were still asleep so he didn’t want to bother them. He went to the bathroom upstairs to see if his brother was there and hopefully didn’t get himself into some trouble.

.

“Hope he doesn’t have his head stuck in the wall again.” He muttered to himself. Remembering back when he and Scott were working on a science project on a rocket. And when they fired it, it lost control. The rocket started flying around for awhile until it hooked under Scotts shirt yanking him along while James and his stepdad watched him being flown around the backyard. Scott was screaming for his life until the rocket shot into the house wall and had Scott and his head stuck inside the wall.

Scott’s mother was frantic after that, and It took four firefighters, a rope, and a industrial grade circular saw to get him out. After that they took him to the hospital to have him checked and to remove the remaining piece of wall they cut Scott out of, and to bandage his head from the impact. When it was over, James mom warned him and his stepdad not to do something like that again. He couldn’t believe how angry she was after that day.

Shaking himself from the silly memory, he walks up to the bathroom door, but notices it open.

He opens the door, but James was surprised to find Scott, his little brother lying naked on the floor, but that wasn’t all. He also noticed Barb curled up on top of him and she was naked too. James face blushed a deep red when he noticed the dragonesses curvy naked form on top of him and couldn’t help but stare at her for a few seconds. He shakes his head and decided to get their attention.

“AHEM!” James said, getting the attention of the two. Barb and Scott look up to see James staring at the two.

“Oh...uuuhh...hey bro...hows it going?” Scott said nervously while Barb was frozen in shock, unable to say anything.

“I don’t get you Barb…” James followed up. “First you wanted to kill me and my brother Scott for what he said yesterday, and now I find you on the bathroom floor naked on top of him?

“I...I don’t know what came over me.” Barb stuttered trying to cover her blushing face. “One minute I’m feeling fine as usual and then the next minute I feel like I was burning on the inside and needed relief from it.” She added.

“You mean by fucking my brother?” James stated, still puzzled by how she was acting.

“Yeah, and thanks to this stud, I feel even better than I was yesterday.” Barb said with a smile nuzzling Scott making him blush in embarrassment.

“C’mon it wasn’t that big a deal. I was just helping you out.

“Well you’re both lucky that Twilight isn’t up yet.” James said at the two in front of him. “Because knowing her, she’ll have a cow when she sees this.”

“Have a cow on what?” Said a certain unicorn from behind James making all three of them freeze, James turn around to see Twilight standing right behind him.

“Oh...heeeyyy... Twilight... what’s up?”

“What’s up is, why exactly your standing at the bathroom doorway, and where’s Barb?” Twilight began. “She wasn’t downstairs like she normally is making breakfast.

“Oh...uh...well...sssshhhhheeeeeeesss…down in the base looking for something.”

“Well whatever it is I hope it’s important. We have a busy day today and I need to get ready, so can you move aside please?”

“You can’t!....uh I mean you can’t...Scott’s inside and needs his privacy.”

“Doing what?” Twilight raising her eyebrow.

“Taking a number two.” James said bluntly.

“Number 2?” Twilight asked confused.

“It means he taking a dump.” James added. Twilight only raised an eyebrow, even more confused at his response. James only slaps his forehead. “He’s basically pooping.”

“Okay...then why is the door open if he needs his privacy?” Twilight said getting more suspicious.

“Uh... because...it’s...not working?” James defended weakly. Twilight lit up her horn and moved James to the side, walking into the bathroom and was shocked to see Barb, her assistant and adoptive sister, draped over Scott. The both of them were naked and holding each other while she noticed a mixture of fluids below their legs.

‘Sorry guys…’ James said in his head as he looked at the two.

“Oh...crap…” Scott muttered to himself when he saw Twilight’s right eye begin twitching, her horn sparking up, and her eyes began glowing white.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA AND LUNA ARE YOU DOING?!!!!”

Chapter 3 (Edited)

-Street-

“Thanks again for helping me do this big sis.” Applejack said as she was talking to a red mare wearing a checkerboard shirt and blue shorts on her muscular legs.

“Yep…” She followed up. Both mares were walking through town with the two human’s belongings on the cart that they were pushing towards Twilight’s home.

“So these two humans,” The taller red mare began. “What’re they like, and why is Celestia’s name was their things in our barn yesterday?”

“Ah can tell that one of ‘em is smarter than the other, so he might explain it better than ah can.” Applejack remarked with a light chuckle.

“And what makes ya say that sis?” The red mare asked.

“Basically the blonde one said the wrong thing accidentally to Barb, and that lead to the mess she made back at the barn.”

“Whaddya mean accidentally?” The red mare said in a skeptical tone.

“Where they’re from, we don’t exist.” Applejack answered. “One of them actually really thought that Barb was a giant lizard.”

“So they didn’t insult her?” The red mare added with a raised brow.

“Honest truth sis.” Applejack replied. “They actually stood up for her after that ruckus she and those two caused yesterday.” The red mare just looked at her with a confused gaze. Around that time both mares were in front of Twilight’s tree home.

“So how do y’all think those two humans are doing right now?”

“Sis, it was just one day,” Applejack replied in a dull tone. “I doubt they’ll get into any more trouble than what happened yesterday.”

“I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!” That was Twilight’s voice followed by an explosion that shot from the roof of her home. The sudden shock causes both mares to jolt in surprise as they stare at the smoke coming from the roof.

“Y’all sure about that?” The red mare said, in a blunt tone, staring at her sister with a dull look. Applejack glanced back at her sister and gave her a nervous smile.

“Hehe... guess it might take a while...” Applejack added while rubbing the back of her head.

-Twilight’s Treehome-

“I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!” Twilight shouted as she was trying to blast Scott with her magic, only to keep having her aim misguided by James who was holding her back constantly. She fired a beam at the roof of the bathroom making a large hole in the ceiling.

“Twilight, take it easy!” James called out as he was trying his best to keep Twilight from trying to kill Scott. Barb was covering her chest while she was still on top of Scott.

“Not till I kill your bastard of a brother for what he did to Barb!” She added, still trying to wrestle out of James grip.

‘Why didn’t I stay in bed?’ Scott said in his head as he stared in fear of what was gonna happen to him. Twilight was pissed as she didn’t know what was really happened between him and Barb last night.

“WHAT IN TARTARUS DID YOU DO TO MY ASSISTANT, YOU PERVERTED SLEAZEBALL!!?” She shouted, her horn igniting with energy, aiming another blast at a scared Scott who is still scared of what was going to happen.

“You realize that she’s on top of me, right?” Scott pointed out, but it only seemed to piss off Twilight further.

“YOU’RE DEAD!!!” Twilight screamed as she eventually wrestled out of James’s grip by elbowing him into the stomach, making James let go of Twilight, clutching his stomach in pain.

She soon, pulled Scott from other Barb via magical aura and he was now floating in front of her. Scott looked ready to piss himself with the look Twilight gave. Her eyes glowed a bright white and Scott could only pray with how his life was going to end is such a short time.

Just as he closes his eyes and waits for what was about to happen, a loud crack followed up, and Scott suddenly drops to the floor. The sounds of Twilight yelping in response followed suit as she stumbles backwards. Just recovering from his shock, he looks up at Twilight, to see a large whip like print on her left cheek. Who it came from was what surprised everyone, including Twilight herself.

“Would it kill you to let me explain something for once Twilight?” Barb growled, breathing smoke from her nostrils. “And I would like if you didn't kill my coltfriend right away.”

“Wh-why did you slap me?” Twilight asked, still in shock.

“And just what the hell happened to Scott?” James asked in confusion as he looked below the belt and saw his dick to a near impossible size. Everyone else’s gaze soon fall on Scott and Twilight blushes furiously. Scott only covers his crotch in response in both embarrassment and some bits of pride.

“I honestly don’t know dude.” Scott added, making Twilight snap out of her shock and glare back at Scott.

“Then maybe you can tell us something.” Twilight growled with her magic still charged. “Why you were fucking my assistant on the bathroom floor.”

“I was up there because I was thirsty okay?” Scott said defensively. “I was on my way to the bathroom, and I walked in on Barb without thinking, so that was my fault.”

“And I was the one who pinned him on the floor, not the other way around.” Barb added, walking over to Scott and hugging him. “So if you want to blame anyone then blame me, but leave my new coltfriend alone.” She added in response leaving Twilight dumbfounded and the two brothers stunned.

“I find this really ironic.” James said in response for what he was seeing right now. “You went from wanted to kill Scott for mistaking you for an actual lizard ‘not to insult you’, to basically sleeping with my brother after you tried to kill us yesterday.”

“And proud of it.” Barb followed up, leaving Twilight in shock and disbelief. “Especially since he’s got this…” She purred, groping Scott new equipment in front of James and Twilight.

“Okay….” james said, feeling a little uncomfortable as was Scott and Twilight.

“A-at least get dressed... we’re supposed to meet with our friends today.” Twilight stuttered as she runs out of the room, with a red face leaving James, Scott and Barb in the bathroom.

“I’ll... see you both downstairs.” James said as he followed Twilight and left the bathroom.

“Actually Scott,” Barb said, looking back at the blushing male with lust in her eyes. “Could you join me in the shower?” She added, getting up and walking towards the shower stall behind her. Scott was about to say something, when he felt something long wrap around his waist. He looks down to see her tail slowly wrapping around his waist. He then looked back at Barb to see her reptilian eyes and a rather naughty smirk on her face.

“Um...okay…” Scott followed up with a nervous smile. Barb’s tail clings to Scott and she pulls him into the shower stall.

-Downstairs-

James followed Twilight downstairs with a few question since he was just as confused as she was. After yesterday, Barb hated Scott’s guts from the accidental comment. Now she slept with him and it didn’t make sense to him. While he was thinking, he bumps into Twilight who is still shaken up by Scott and Barb together.

“Oh..sorry Twilight,” James said to the shocked mare. “You alright?” He asked but was confused by Twilight’s strange expression. She was staring at James, more like glaring at him with a dark glare.

“What did I do?” James asked in confusion.

“I’m just confused on how your brother was able to sleep with Barb despite what happened yesterday.” Twilight answered.

“Hey I’m just as confused as you are.” James responded. “It’s not like Scott’s some random casanova now. I still can’t figure your adoptive sister out.” He added turning back to Twilight, only for him to notice the strange look she giving him.

“Did I do something?” James asked in confusion. “You’re kinda creeping me out with the staring.”

“I just thought of something…” Twilight said looking into James eyes. “Maybe you humans have some type of pheromone and that’s why your brother probably did something to Barb earlier.”

James just gave her a deadpanned look. “Can’t you just accept your sister’s word or something? I doubt we have pheromones that can just make any mare sleep with us.” He added as he was about to walk away, only for Twilight to grab his arm. He turns around to see a strange crazed look in her eye, which started to scare him.

“Well where's the fun if I don’t find out for myself?” She added, her horn lighting up and a lavender aura appearing around James’s pants. He notices this quickly and grabs his pants with both hands.

“The hell you think you’re doing?” James asked in confusion and fear.

“Don’t make this anymore difficult than it already is James.” Twilight said with a crazed look in her eye. “I’m going to find out what you humans are about with our without your cooperation.”

“YOU’RE NOT TAKING OFF MY PANTS!!” James shouted as he ran out of the room. Correction; he tried to run out of the room, only to slip and fall on the ground. “THE HELL!!?” James responded and looked down and notices that his ankles were tied with rope.

“I need to know James…” She added inching closer to the male, who was currently freaking out right now. She was about to fully get his pants off when a mare’s southern accent voice calls out to her.

“Now what in the sam hill is going on here!?” The voice shouted breaking Twilight from her crazed gaze as well as James from his shocked reaction and looked towards where the voice came from. There, standing at the doorway were Applejack and another mare that James didn’t recognize. Applejack had a look of confusion and irritation shown on her face, while the other mare had a look of disgust as well as confusion on her face.

She was slightly taller than Applejack and had a similar build to her, but her bust size was a size bigger than her. She had a messy orange mane with a bright red coat. Her blue shorts and bright green shirt clung tightly to her muscular frame and her bright green eyes, despite looking scary, were very beautiful. A picture of a half green apple adorned her shirt as well as on her toned legs. What really complimented her was the white freckles that really brought out her rather feminine figure.

Shaking his head, James realizes that right now the two mares were staring between him and Twilight and at his pants now at his ankles. Thankfully, he had boxers on but that didn’t spare the poor human from the awkwardness of the situation.

“Umm...hi. Twilight said awkwardly towards the two farm mares.

“Uh...this isn’t what it looks like.” James followed up, hoping to spare himself of the awkwardness that was going on right now.

“Really?” The red mare said a little coldly. “Cause it looks like Twilight has yer pants down to yer ankles.”

“Okay, so it is what it looks like, but it’s for the wrong reasons.” James followed up.

“Ya got too curious over something again didn’t you?” She deadpanned causing the lavender unicorn to blush in embarrassment and James to look back in shock.

“How did you-” He gets cut off when AJ walks over to him and holds out her hand.

“Twilight had that crazed look in her eye.” She deadpanned. “When she gets like that and doesn’t let anything go, it ain’t that hard ta miss.”

“Thanks…” James said, taking her hand and she helps him up. He was able to get his pants on after that. “So what are you doing here, and who’s your friend?”

“Oh this is mah sister, Macareina Apple.” Applejack said, looking at her. She gave a snort in response to the introduction at the man, confusing James and Twilight, but Applejack could only sigh at her sisters behavior.

“Sorry about that.” Applejack replied. “She doesn’t talk much, plus she’s only like that when it comes to stallions.”

“Okay…” James replied.

“Anyways, y’all mind explaining why we heard ya screamin’ yer head off on our way with their things?”

“Twilight and I found my brother Scott and Barb upstairs on the bathroom floor…”

“What happened, did they slip an fall or sumthin?” She asked.

“Not exactly... but I can say that they made up in more ways than one.” James followed up.

“What do ya mean?” Applejack asked in confusion.

“I found out that his brother fucked my sister is what okay?” Twilight said in a dark tone making the other two stare at Twilight in shock, while James only turns towards her with a dead panned look.

“She told us that she pinned my brother under her.” James followed up.

“And had sex with him...repeatedly.” Twilight added blushing.

“Huh...well that’s the an interesting way to make up, besides when she almost burned ya’ll to a crisp.”

“They were the reason why ah found a hole in the barn yesterday?” Macareina said in a dark tone. “Ah’m still trying to patch up the damage they caused at the barn.”

“Technically she smashed it after me and Scott jumped out the window.” James followed up, but it didn’t stop Macareina from her continued glare at James.

“Sis, calm down…” Applejack began. “They didn’t mean to cause that in the first place.”

“If it make you feel better, I can help fix up the barn you live and work at.” James added. “I think it would be a way to try and mend a few fences.”

“And Barb will help you two as well since she made that hole in the wall to begin with.” Twilight followed up. The red mare was a little reluctant at first, but felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see that it was AJ with a worried look on her face. The red mare finally lets out a sigh and looks back at James.

“Al’ight that sounds fair, but don’t expect me to go easy on either of ya while yer on the farm.” She warned, not dropping her demeanor

“Understandable…” James replied, before turning to Applejack with a calm expression. “So any other reason why you’re both here?”

“We got all yer things on our cart.” Applejack explained as she brought a large cart with all of their belongings on it. “It took a while, and we sure as hay don’t know what this here flat thing is.”

“Thanks…” James replied. “At least now we’ll have something to wear instead of just the same thing every day.”

“Okay then.” Applejack replied in a calm tone. “Anyways, about that flat doohickey...”

“You mean the flat screen TV?”

“That’s a T.V?” Twilight said surprised. “Huh, it’s a lot thinner than ours, are you sure that’s a T.V.?”

“Kinda looks like an Ursa Major sat on it.” Applejack replied.

“Well we don’t have magic like you do, but we do make up for it in good old-fashioned ingenuity to make better things in life.”

“I want to know how it works,” Twilight replied with a shining gleam in her eyes.

“Just please try not to take it apart for whatever crazy science experiment you’re thinking of, okay?”

“Eh heh, right… so does it still work?”

“Don’t know I hope so,” James replied as he rummaged through the cart to find the remote to the TV. “Do you have any outlets too so I can plug this in?” James asked.

“There’s one behind you,” Twilight replied. James walks over towards the outlet and plugs the TV outlet in. Applejack looked on wondering if it will work while Macarena looked disinterested but was curious at how it was going to work as James installed the new television.

“And that should do it,” James said with a smile. “Aw man the screen’s busted.” James frowned as a couple of large cracks could be seen on the screen.

“Oh, don’t worry I can fix that,” Twilight said, as she channeled her magic through her horn. James looks back at the TV and the crack in the screen was no longer crack.

“At least Scott and I can watch our DVD collection,” James said to himself, looking at his and his brother’s belongings. James decides to look at what was still intact, and Twilight got curious and took out a flat box with some writing and a few pictures.

“Um James, what’s this?” Twilight asked while holding the flat box up.

“Oh that’s our DVD collection.”

“DVD?” Twilight asked with a confused look on her face. “I thought this was a VHS tape, it looks way thinner than what I’ve seen before.”

“Wait you seriously don’t know what a DVD is?” James asked surprised.

“Are ya saying we’re dumb not knowing that?” Macareina growled, her face showing a deep scowl.

“No that’s not what I meant…” James said in defense, holding up both of his arms. “So you’re saying you’ve never seen a DVD before?”

“Not until now no, what does it mean?” Twilight asked curiously.

“It means digital versatile disk, and it can be used for many things like downloading music, movies, or home videos.”

“Really, does it work?” She said excitedly.

“Yeah they still work, you just have to be careful they’re pretty fragile. One good scratch and it doesn’t work anymore so be careful please.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Twilight smiled while she looked through the rest of the DVDs that James and Scott had until she found one with a title that made her blush. James was talking with Applejack and was at least trying to understand Macareina when the apple mare noticed something was off with Twilight.

“Twilight?” She called noticing her friend was frozen. “What the hay’s wrong with her?”

“I’m not sure…” James added in confusion walking towards the frozen mare. “Hey, Twilight you alri-”

SMACK! The sound of a forceful slap caused James’ head to whip back and fall to the floor. Twilight’s face was bright red as she glared at James with disgust on her face. James groaned form the slap as Twilight actually hit him pretty hard. He would pull himself up and you could see a bright red handprint on his face.

“OW!” He groaned feeling the burning sensation on his face “What did I do?” James cried out as he stood up from the hard slap he received at the currently irritated mare.

“WHAT KIND OF PERVERTS ARE YOU OWNING THIS?!!!” She screamed out at James.

“Wait, what?” James asked confused.

“I’m talking about this!” She exclaimed shoving the box in his face. James only looks at the box to see that it was one of his favorite animes that he watched with his brother back home. Dragon Ball Z. “Why do you have porn in your belongings?”

“What, did you bash your head or something Twilight?” James asked with a confused expression. “That’s not a porno film, that’s an anime show that me and my brother watched back at home.”

This only confused the mare as she looked at James as he tried to calm her down. “Oh really, then why does the title say Dragon Ball Z on the cover?”

James then looked at the cover of the box and back to Twilight who now had an accusatory expression on her face, her nostrils snorting in anger, and her eyes locked onto him waiting for his answer.

“Does nobody know what anime means?” James asked.

“Didn’t Rainbow mention sum unique cartoon shows she saw from tha far east country called...uh...Japony that’s it.”

“Yes she did, but what does that have anything to do with this?” Twilight asked.

“Because this is not a pornographic film Twilight,” James said looking Twilight in the eye with a hurt tone. “It’s a Japanese anime series about superpowered martial artists, not...whatever it was you were thinking.”

Twilight then turns to Applejack for confirmation on James claim. “He’s tellin tha truth Twi, no doubt about that.”

She looked back at James who had his eyebrows raised at her. Her cheeks began flush red as she started to feel embarrassed realizing her mistake.

“Oh...I guess I was wrong then.” She said nervously while rubbing the back of her head.

“Then next time you shouldn't jump to conclusions like that,” James replied. “Also that slap was completely unnecessary.”

“You’re right...." She sighed. "I’m sorry James... I guess I overreacted over that.” Twilight added.

“Maybe explain the overreaction?”

“Back when it was just Barb and me in Canterlot, I found out that she snuck in a few pornos behind my back,” Twilight added.

“Probably been curious about them,” James replied in a calm tone. Their conversation is cut short by footsteps coming from upstairs. They look in the direction to see that Barb and Scott upstairs and Barb was clinging to her new coltfriend with a huge smile.

“Hey guys,” Scott said with a wave. Barb was still clinging to him and he could feel her breasts pushing up against his arm making him.

“And what was taking you two so long?” Twilight asked in a stern tone. Scott only blushes nervously in response to her question.

“Barb... decided that she needed a long shower.” He answered, and Barb only clung to her tighter. “How’s everyone doing?”

“Doing alright, just wish a certain mare didn’t get the wrong idea about our favorite TV show,” James replied.

“What do you mean?” Scott asked.

“Because when she looked at the title on our favorite anime,” James said holding up the same DVD case Twilight had in her hand. “She literally thought it was a porno.”

“Seriously?” Scott snickered as he looks at the mare in question who just blushed in embarrassment. Barb on the other hand just looks at her sister with an unamused look.

“Really Twilight?” Barb deadpanned. “Your going off on something you found and misread it as a porno due to its title? I love you Twilight, but you can be such a hypocrite sometimes.” Her words hit the purple mare like she had been slapped.

“W-what?” Twilight stammered. Never before heard the one, she knew as a sister said such words to her.

“I mean come on, I know you still have that stash of porn films under your bed.” This news brought a whole new level of awkwardness to the room, especially the Apple siblings, as they looked to the stammering purple mare.

“I-I do not know what you're talking about, Barb. I don’t have any of that under my bed there.” Barb just looked unamused.

“You have eight tapes of porn, six I might add have nothing but surprised tentacle sex with mares AND stallions. The other two being focused with mares being gangbaged with other species.” The words hit Twilight like arrows to her body. “And they were still there under your bed at Mom and Dad’s place the last time we visited Canterlot.”

That did it. The last one Twilight felt like she was being impaled with a spear as her coat looked slowly turned pale from the start but now looked like she was halfway to death’s door. She then collapses to her knees as a shadow of dread seems to fall over her.

“Wow, you really are a hypocrite…” James said with a deadpanned tone.

“So what’d we miss?” Scott asked.

“Applejack and her sister brought our belongings here,” James said, pointing towards the cart. “And how you, me and Barb, also have to help at her farm for that large hole we made at the side of their barn.”

“What?” Barb said a little annoyed. “Why do I have to help?”

“You technically tried to kill the both of us for what Scott accidentally said.”

“Plus yer sister already suggested ya, since ya did make that hole, to begin with,” Applejack added, making Barb falter back slightly. The dragoness rubs her arm, feeling nervous and at the same time guilty.

“Right, when you put it that way…”

“Anyway,” Macarena interrupted the two. “You three can start tomorr’a. We don’t have to worry about the barn fir right now.”

“Sweet!” Scott said in an excited tone. “I can at least change my c-Whoooaaa.” Scott barely got to finish his sentence when he suddenly slips and falls forward. He felt like he slipped on the step before tumbling down on the stairs and landing on something soft.

“Scott, are you okay?” James asked.

“I’m fine.” Scott groaned. “I fell on a couple of pillows so they broke my fall.” Scott replied in a calm tone. Once the dust settled though, the girls and James all had worried looks on their faces.

“Um... Scott… those aren’t pillows you’re holding.” James replied. Scott is at first confused, but he hears the sounds of growling in front of him. He slowly turns around and looks up to see a rather pissed off Macarena and her face was redder than normal. He looks down to find that his hands were firmly planted on her breasts.

‘Oh crap…’ He thought, looking backup at the angry red mare whose cheeks were now rose pink. ‘I’m so screwed...’

“Ummm, it was an accident?” He replied. Scott was suddenly sent flying forward with a very strong punch to his chest and Macarena shouted ‘PERVERT!’ as Scott was sent flying backwards towards a bookcase as a avalanche of books toppled onto him.

“SCOTT!!” Barb shouted, looking where he landed. Everyone other than Macarena and Twilight went towards where he landed. They find him under a large pile of books, groaning in response.

“Scott, are you okay man?” James asked, clutching his brother's arm.

“Did... anybody else... here my ribs crack?” He groaned, before he passed out on the floor. James then turns to Macarena with a glare of his own.

“The hell’s your problem huh?” He said in a rather cold tone. “He clearly tripped and fell, and you nearly killed him with that blow.”

“Well, maybe yer so-called brother should keep his hands to himself.” She added in her coldly.

“Well, what was he supposed to use to break his fall then, huh?”

“Maybe that sofa or somethin’.” Macarena added drily, turning her head.

“How, with wings?! We don’t have those and in case you can’t see, the sofa is right behind where your standing!” James pointed to the furniture behind the older apple. Making her turn to look at the soft blue sofa that sat behind her. The sight of the piece of furniture and what she said made Macarena blush in embarrassment but refused to look back at the James due to her stubbornness.

“Alright break it up you two, let's not start something else while we have a hurt stallion in our mits here.” Applejack said was stepped in between the two. Trying to bring shift the matter to the downed human. “Ah think it’s best we get this here fellah towards Ponyville Hospital.”

“I guess that’s fair,” James said as he got down to lift up his brother. “But we're not finished with this conversation Twilight!”

The book mare was jolted out of her defeated look before turning to look at the man in a stupor. “Yes?” She said before looking to she a lot of her books had fallen off her shelves. “Oh no, my books!”

“Forget your books, help me get my brother to the hospital!” James shouted as he and Barb took an arm before picking Scott off the ground.

The sight of the downed human made Twilight go into a panic. “What happened to Scott?!”

“Really?! You were that out of it that you miss big red here one punching my brother to the wall because he fell on her? Nevermind that, lead us to the hospital already will ya?” James yelled.

“Right, c’mon everypony get close, we’re gonna teleport to the hospital,” Twilight said in a calm tone. James was confused by what she meant.

“What exactly do you mean by that, are you gonna beam us up or something?”

“What? No. I’m teleporting everyone to the hospital via magic.” Twilight added as her horn illuminated in a lavender aura.

“Wait what, what are you talking about?” James asked, only to feel light headed as everyone disappeared in a bright flash of light.

-Ponyville Hospital-

The sounds of ponies moving around in the building even though it was a slow day for them, was a quiet one. One nurse, in particular, was minding her own business reading a book behind the counter. She was minding her own business with a contempt sigh when the room was suddenly blinded by a purple light getting everyone’s attention.

“Alright, we’re here.” Twilight explained “Quick, let’s get him signed in now!” She said frantically but stopped when she saw James keeled over holding a hand to his mouth.

“Oh man I’m not feeling so hot…” James groaned, clutching his stomach.“I think… Huuuurrrrggghhh!” His face turned pale and he then ran off to the nearest trash can.

“James are you ok?” Twilight asked worriedly.

“Huurrgghh...does it look like I’m ok?” He replied sarcastically, before feeling sick and puking in the trash can again. “God, it felt like my stomach got twisted inside out.”

“Uh Twilight I think Scott’s coming to.” Barb piped up as a low groan came from the limp human, his head swaying left and right like a limp noodle. He then turned his head towards Macarenia like as if he was about to say something, only to puke at the mare's hooves.

“Blaaeeeggghhh.” He puked up yesterday's breakfast all over Macareina’s hooves.

“WHAT THE HAY!!?” She shouted, as she looked at the mess that was all over her hooves. “THAT’S DISGUSTIN!!!”

“Well excuse us since we’ve never teleported before…” James added with a disdain for the red mare right now before turning back to Twilight. “Maybe a bit of a warning before you do that next time.”

“I guess since humans can’t use magic, you’re not really used to it.” Twilight said, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment.

“Excuse me, but what’s going on?” A mare’s voice called out, causing everyone to turn towards a white mare in a pink nurse uniform that seemed a little too small for her curvy frame. The mare appeared to be sitting down and her nurse uniform was slightly open in the front as the uniform was tight against her FF cup breasts. She looked at everyone with confusion as she shifted in her chair.

“Oh, sorry Nurse Sweeetheart…” Twilight said turning back to the nurse. “We’re here to check somepony in.” She added, as her, AJ, Macareina, and Barb carried the unconscious Scott.

“What is that, and what happened?” She asked, pointing at the unconscious human being carried by the girls. James gets offended by the it comment and walks up to Nurse Redheart.

“This it has a name, and it’s Scott,” James replied, glaring at the nurse.

“Okay, no need to be all defensive….” She added, looking pretty uncomfortable with the stare that James gave her. “Anyway’s about what happened to him?”

“Macareina punched him in the chest and he asked if we heard his ribs crack.” James responded.

“Do you have any rooms available now?” Twilight asked.

“Of course, down the hall a couple doors to the left,” Redheart replied albeit she seemed a little out of breath to the man.

“Are you feeling okay?” James asked, noticing her face was slightly red.

“O-o-h-h I’m fine T-there’s nothing to worry about, just a long day of work.” Redheart reacted in a rather flustered tone. James and the others only get confused by what’s going on, but another mare’s voice catches their attention.

“Hey Sweetheart, I got those files you needed.” Everyone turns around to find another nurse with the same bust line and work clothes as Redheart, but her coat was a light pinkish with a dark purple mane and tail that was tied into a bun.

“Thanks, Sweetheart!, also we have an exotic patient that needs urgent care stat,” Redheart said, pointing towards the male who was currently unconscious in Macareina and AJ’s arms.

“Oh my, and what happened to this cute stud here?” She asked in a cheerful tone. Her works irked Barb in a way with how she said that as a vein started to form on her forehead.

“Macareina knocked him out with a punch to the chest for an accident he made,” Twilight answered in a calm tone.

“Certainly right this way please.” She said as she helped put Scott on the stretcher and wheeled him off to his assigned room. The group followed suit leaving Nurse Redheart behind. Nurse Redheart shifts slightly in her chair, looking in the direction where they went and waited for the mto be a certain distance away or entered the room and soon they were gone.

“Thank Celestia…” Nurse Redheart sigh and she gets up from her chair. She followed up with a moan as she got up from her seat to reveal a messy dildo in her marehood slick with her juices on the chair she was sitting in. “I thought they’d never leave.”

-Room-

After laying Scott on the open bed in intensive care ward, The rest of them gathered around as they watched Nurse Sweetheart began looking up and down the downed human while Barb is sitting right next to him a look of worry on her face while her hand grasped his arm.

“Could one of you come here and help me get his shirt off?” Sweetheart asked the group.

“Let me!” Barb exclaimed, standing up next to the nurse and assisting her. She wanted to see how bad the damage was. Soon as she had Barb helped get his shirt off, they see a large fist shaped mark in Scott’s chest.

“Mother of Celestia... what happened to him?” She asked.

“Mah sister got the wrong idea and punched the poor fellah hard enough to make his ribs crack.” Applejack answered and Macareina only blushed in response as she was holding a glass of water. Sweetheart just looks at the mare puzzled.

“Honestly, ever since that incident ten years ago, you haven’t been the same when-.” She try to say, but the words died in her throat when she saw Macareain’s death glare. Twilight, Barb, and AJ flinched in response when they felt a really dark aura around Macareina. James was actually confused at their reaction.

“Don’t you dare bring up his name.” She growled clenching the glass hard enough it nearly broke apart only leaving cracks spider-webbing across the glass. James notices her reaction and was even more confused but at the same time nervous with the bits of shattered glass in her hand.

“Uh, you think you wanna get that looked at?” James asked, noticing some bits of glass embedded in her hand.

“I’m fine,” Macareina said coldly. “I’ve dealt with worse.” She then walks out of the room with a disgruntled frown and leaves everyone in the room confused.

“What was that all about?” James asked in confusion.

“It’s a personal thing sugarcube, no need to bug her about it.” Applejack responded. James then looks over to Barb and Twilight and they only turn away from him with fearful stares.

“Can’t really talk about it?” James asked.

“AJ made us Pinkie Promise not to talk about it unless she brought it up.” Barb answered while she laid her head onto Scott's shoulder nuzzling into him.

“If you want to visit him later you’re welcome to, but right now I need to patch him up and make sure he gets better.” She added.

“Fine…” She groaned, sitting up and turning away from the nurse back to her friends.

“You can visit him back in a few hours dear.” Sweetheart said playfully.

“Ok…” Barb relented. Before she could leave, she walked over to Scott and kissed him on the forehead making him blush at the contact. She smiled and turned around following James and the girls out of the room.

“Okay, why don’t you all head out while I take care of the near dead…”

“Human,” James answered for her.

“Thank you, human and make sure he has a full recovery.” She added.

“Maybe we should stay…” Barb added, but James pats her shoulder.

“I’m starting to think you’re one of those hopeless romantic types Barb,” James stated, making Barb turn to him with her cheeks puffed up with embarrassment and frustration. She was about to say something, but James calms her down with a pat on the shoulder. “As much as you want to stay here, maybe it’d be for the best we let him recover for right now if we leave him alone.”

“Fine…” Barb sighed in defeat. “I guess I can wait…”

“Good, now why don’t you all run along and I’ll make sure he’s taken care of.” She added. With Scott taken care of, everyone leaves the room leaving the nurse to do her job. Looking back at the human, something clicks in her mind with what James said.

“Wait, he said human… Oh crap…” She then remembered of a certain unicorn mare that she made a bet with. “Great… now I owe that crazy mare in town fifty bits.” She grumbled to herself as she goes to check on Scott.

James, Twilight, Applejack, and Barb walked out of the room with different expressions as they walked down the hallway of the hospital. as they walked, some of the mares and stallions who worked there and some of the patients would give him looks of confusion and intrigue. James, feeling a little uncomfortable from all of the stares, he ducked his head down to avoid looking at them. Noticing this, Applejack felt bad for him and his brother who was now in the hospital thanks to her sister.

-Outside-

“I’m sorry about mah sister James…” Applejack replied, holding her head down.

“It’s okay…” James replied, not turning to Applejack. With that, they walked on silently through town. Barb, feeling an awkwardness grow between everyone, decided to change the subject.

“No offense James but I gotta ask, is your brother unlucky or something?” Barb brought up, making James stop in place and the girls follow suit. He pinches the bridge of his nose and lets out a soft groan.

“I’m not sure if being unlucky is the best way to describe my brother…,” James said in a calm tone.

“What do you mean by that?” Twilight asked with a raised brow.

“When it comes to women back on earth, Scott had probably the worst possible luck you could even imagine,” James replied. “He doesn’t even do it on purpose, he’s just that accident prone.”

“Okay, he can’t be that clumsy,” Twilight added. James was about to say something, but he notices a familiar red mare standing outside of the Hospital.

“Howdy sis.” Applejack called out.

“Howdy AJ.” She said, not bothering to turn around. The orange mare sighed at this since she was obviously hurting. James was concerned despite what happened earlier.

‘I wonder what’s gotten her so bothered.’ James thought to himself the longer he stared at her. He was wondering what was going on in her head.

“I’m goin’ back to the farm,” Macarena called out. Before her sister could even protest, she was already walking away. She then turns to James with a firm look. “I’ll be seeing you and Barb at the farm later on.” With that, she leaves the group. AJ only sighs at the reaction she had. She didn’t want to push any further since it was clear that her sister wanted to be alone right now.

“What is up with her?” James asked in confusion. “I know this isn’t any of my business, but why is she like that?”

“Sorry sugarcube but that’s her story to tell,” AJ answered. “Ah know yer curious, but I made a promise not to say anything unless she brought it up.”

“That bad huh, I can understand that myself,” James told her. “Honestly the way I see it, she’s only hurting herself that way.”

“Yer not the only one who feels that way, James.” Applejack sighed in a calm tone. “I’ve been trying to talk to her about it, but she’s too stubborn to open up to anyone about it.” She sighed.

“Look on the bright side, at least she didn’t kill Scott,” Twilight added cheerfully, and Barb only glares at the mare in irritation.

“Yeah…” James added, looking back at the hospital. “You know, this isn’t the first time that he got himself hurt like this.” He added. The girls just look at him funny.

“Huh, what do ya mean?” Twilight asked. Before he could say anything though, a large growl could be heard from Twilight’s stomach. Barb and AJ follow suit signaling that no one has really eaten in a while.

“Back in high school me and Scott got into some trouble at times when it came to girls, and the occasional fight or two, but the rest wasn’t even his fault,” James replied and the girls just look at him in disbelief.

“Please tell us you’re bluffing…” Barb asked in shock.

“I wish…” James replied. He then tells a story to the girls about some of their high school adventures. He tells her that he was also there when Scott was clumsy. James explains that ever since he knew his brother, Scott has always been clumsy whether it came to work, home, or girls especially.

He mentions one time where Scott was shoved into the girls locker room by the football team and stuffed into one of the large lockers only to be found by the girls wrestling team, he tried getting out but accidentally tripped and pulled two of their best members towels off and ended up pissing them and the rest of the team off. What James could gather was ugly, he found Scott very bruised, stuffed in a girls wrestling uniform, and had a jockstrap on his face.

“Seriously, you’re telling us he’s clumsy enough to get himself into that much trouble?” Twilight asked in shocked. Applejack and Barb were the very same.

“That wasn’t even the worst of it,” James replied as he also brought up another incident involving an angry group of girls chasing Scott out of the showers when he only went to bring a few books to the teacher. The problem was he stepped into the wrong room when the cheerleaders were in the middle of changing.into their clothes when Scott walked into the wrong room as he was carrying a box of supplies to the gym. Didn’t even give him a chance to talk when he was suddenly chased out by a group of angry cheerleaders.

“Mother of Celestia…” Barb said, covering her face in embarrassment.

“Honestly, I was expecting Twilight to kick the snot out of Scott for a stupid reason, not for what we saw earlier.”

“You mean you were really gonna let me beat up your brother?” Twilight asked looking back at him.

“Under normal circumstances maybe, but with what happened with Barb the other day,” James said, turning to the blushing dragoness. “Chances are, any one of you would’ve killed him.”

“Right…” She said, rubbing her shoulder. “Hey, we’re here.” She added, looking to see Sugarcube Corner on the horizon.

“We can get some shakes while we’re there, and then we have to go to the farm to fix some of the damage we made,” James replied.

“Technically what Barb made, but whatever floats yer boat.” Applejack replied as they all walked in the shop. There wasn’t much of anyone inside the building since it was closed due to damage yesterday from Barb and the two brothers, and they didn’t see the owners around either.

However, when they walk inside they are greeted with a sight that had everyone gasp. Two stallions were seen harassing a mare and a young colt who looks to be 15 and might be her son as she’s standing protectively in front of him. The stallions seem to want the mare to do something distasteful but the mare is not backing down and her son looks like he wants to punch them both in balls with the glare he’s giving them.

“Come on now, you don’t have to be so uptight.” The first burly stallion said staring down at the cream-colored mare’s chest. “We’re just trying to have a chat as all.”

“Well, I’d rather not have that chat since I’d rather be at home baking right now.” She said with a defiant expression. The two males didn’t let her pass when she tried to walk away with her son.

“Come on, it’ll just be quick and easy. We’ll make it worth your while.” The other stallion said in response, his hand darting for the cream mares shoulder. She swatted his hand away in response clearly disgusted by his actions.

“If it were worth my while you wouldn’t be blocking my path would you?” She added, clearly annoyed with the two.

“Why don’t you assholes leave us alone?” The young colt said to the two of them. “She said no.”

“Why don’t you get lost?” The big burly stallions said. Before the young colt could even react, he is suddenly kicked in the gut. And it was a hard kick was he was suddenly sent flying towards the wall and he clutched his stomach in pain. The cream mare gasped seeing her son getting kicked and was now nervous.

“Stay out of this twerp!” He yelled, standing over the whimpering colt. The cream-colored mare only glared at the two stallions for what happened.

“That’s my son!” She shouted, only to be roughly grabbed by the two males.

“Well, how do we know that he’s not some runt you picked up off the street?” He added with a sneer. “You have quite the body to show for it.”

“Let go of me you animals!” She shouted, struggling to get free of their grip.

The girls gasped seeing this, and James looked pissed off seeing that. Twilight and Barb were ready to do something as was Applejack, but James was already behind the two with a very pissed off glare.

“Excuse me!” He called out, making everyone turn to him. The cream mare looked at what she deemed a strange being as he glared at the two stallions. “I believe the lady said that she wanted to leave, not the be harassed by a couple jackasses who can’t take no for an answer.”

“What was that?” The burly stallions said, looking down at James as he and his friend both let go of the cream mare. “You talk pretty big for a runt.” He added, patting James on the head. For James response, he grabs the stallions hand and twists it. The stallion groans in pain, and James follows up, tossing him over to a nearby table, much to the surprise of his friends. The girls were just as much surprised to the other stallion who's shock quickly turns into anger.

“You Little Shit!!” He added, balling his hand into a fist. He thrusts his fist forward with full force, and James only catches his hand without even looking back. He would slowly turn to him with a smirk.

Yeah, not your smartest move.” Dodging the fist, James uses that momentum to sweep him off his hooves and tosses him right on top his friend. Both stallions groan in pain however they quickly got up.

“Oh, now you are so dead!” The second stallion growls and charges right James.

“Assholes!” Barb growled as she clenches her fist and Twilight was ready to light up her horn. The girls wanted to step in, but Applejack stops Barb and Twilight.

“Now hold on girls, why don’t we see how this plays out?” She suggested. Twilight and barb look at Applejack confused

Throwing another punch at him James felt his back touch the wall behind. Waiting for the right opportunity James again manages to dodge again as the stallion throws with full force on the wall. The sound of bones breaking echoed his ear as the stallion holds his now broken hand.

“Oh looks like you got a boo-boo,” James smirks before grabbing the back of the stallion's neck and slams headfirst into the wall. Blood pools out of his nose as the stallion stubbles a bit daze before James side sweeps his feet off the ground.

“You Bastard!” They both shouted as they tried to rush James. He only enters a fighting stance as he waits for them to get close. Both had their fist balled up and thrusts forward. James grabs both of them and with a kick to the stomach and a elbow to the jaw. He then ducks down and sweeps kicks their feet out from under them, making the stallions fall onto their backs hard and dazed for a bit. James quickly hoped to his feet and jumps up into the air while giving a killer piledrive to the stallions stomachs. Knocking the wind out of them as the wheeze on the floor in pain and for breath.

“Have you idiots had enough yet, or should I give you another one this time to your balls?” James asked cracking his knuckles loudly. The stallions didn’t answer as they soon pass out from to much pain and lack of breath, making James sweatdrop a bit.

‘Jeez I hope I didn’t cause any permanent damage,’ James thought to himself. He gets off of the two and walks towards the shocked girls.

“That...was...amazing!” Barb shouted in shock at what she and the others saw.

“How in Celestia's name did you do that?” Twilight asked in shock. “They were easily taller and buffer than you.”

“Size doesn’t always mean strength,” James replied. “Plus they seemed like total idiots anyway.”

“Guess y’all weren’t kidding about how ya earn them trophies via fightin.” Applejack replied.

“I studied Taekwondo, Judo, Jeet Kune Do, Karate, and Kickboxing,” James replied. He followed up by walking towards the cream-colored mare and the young colt. “You both alright?”

“Yes, we’re fine...thank you for helping me and my son.” She replied. The colt groaned as he got up, still clutching his stomach from the kick.

“Bastards...I’m fine…” He managed to say through the pain and then looks up at James in gratitude. “Thanks for kicking their asses.”

“Sure. The names James McCloud by the way.” He replied, holding out a hand for a handshake.

“Thanks. My name is Button Mash.” He added, taking James hand and shaking it.

“Call me Cream Heart.” The cream mare replied, staring back at him. “And thank you. I felt like they were stalking me for weeks.”

The sounds of a door were soon heard and the girls turn to see Pinkie coming from out the back with a few sacks of flour and sugar in her hands.

“Hey guys, I’m back!” Pinkie greets as she sets the bags down on the counter. She then notices the two unconscious stallions on the floor along with a broken table and gained a cute confused look on her face. “What the heck happened while I was in the back?”

“Just kicked the asses of a couple bastards that deserved it.” James replied.

“Oh, I should probably kick them out then.” Pinkie Pie replied. “Anyways, you guys need anything?”

“We came her for a couple of milkshakes.” Twilight said looking back at the counter. “Where are Mr and Mrs. Cake?”

“Oh, they took the twins out to visit some cousins so they won’t be back in town for a week or so.” Pinkie answered. “I’m the only one here.”

“Okay then, I’ll take a blueberry milkshake please,” Twilight said.

“I’ll take some chocolate and ruby chip cupcakes Pinkie,” Barb said licking her lips a bit.

“A slice of apple pie if that’s alright,” AJ said.

“I’ll take two chocolate shakes, one for me and one for Scott later on,” James said.

“Coming right up everypony.” Pinkie followed up walking behind the counter. Twilight, Barb, and Applejack all take a seat on each of the four stools. James follows after the three but didn’t pay attention to the goraning behind him. The two stallions were getting back up and we're gonna try and jump him from behind quietly, unfortunately for them, they didn’t get very far as James quickly backhands the both of them which knocks them out again this time for good.

“I think you should make it where these two are banned for coming back here,” James replied, glaring back at the two stallions. He gets back to the girls and they only stare back at her in shock.

“Where did you learn how to fight like that?” Barb asked, looking back at him like a giddy school girl. Button Mash walked next to him and sat down.

“I took some martial arts classes back on earth under five dojos,” James replied. “Became a third-degree black belt in each on.”

“Sound’s cool.” Button Mash replied.

“I think you proved it with what you did to those thugs earlier.” Cream heart replied. Pinkie later returns to the group with the milkshakes in hand.

“Here’s your drinks everypony.” She replied with a cheery tone as she set down the groups order.

“Thank you Pinkie Pie,” James said as he and the girls dig into their treats.

Once they were done, Twilight paid for their food while taking their drinks to go and they all headed back to the hospital to check up and Scott and give him his milkshake. James and the gang say goodbye to Button and Cream Heart all while having a local guard take the two unconscious males away.

Author's Note

Now that's a new chapter for the new year. I was saving onto these for awhile and I plan on adding more. I was hoping for patience though without people responding to me on PM or generally being abusive, but I had help from a circle of friends on this chapter.

Chapter 4 (Edited)

-Ponyville-

Macareina walked through the town, still very angry from not only the incident with Scott but what Nurse Redheart tried to do. She needed to get away from the town and ponies in general before she does something she’ll regret so she goes to a open field close by the town. There she finds a large boulder and decides to vent her frustrations out on it with a few heavy hits and kicks, which soon shatters the rock to dust after about four punches and six kicks.

“There, that calmed me down good enough, for now at least,” Macarenia said dusting her hands off of rubble dust.

The red mareazon is seen panting heavily over a pile of pebbles as she has calmed down a lot then what she was before. Macareina then lays down on her back with a leg crossed over the other while she looks up the sky and watches the clouds go by, enjoying the breeze that goes across her body.

“Okay girl, just don’t let him get to ya. He’s gone and out a yer life…” She kept telling herself that as she got up and walked back into town. She was able to calm down after that sudden outburst and suddenly bumped into a barrel which catches James and the girls attention as they were walking by.

“Sis, over here!” AJ calls out to her older sister.

“H-howdy girls…” She said in a calm town.

“Hey,” James said, holding out his hand for a handshake. The red mare only walks pass him to the girls. “Okay then…” He said to himself and got back to his drink.

“So what happened when ah left?” Macarena asked, looking at her sister.

“Just had a run in with a couple stallions who were harassin’ a mare.” Applejack replied. Macarena only clenches her fist in anger after hearing that.

“Ah hope y’all did somethin to stop that.”

“We didn’t have to.” Barb replied as she pulls James with her tail up to him. “He did that for us.”

“Yer serious?” She asked, confused but unsure.

“Ah can vouch for him sis.” Applejack replied. “They could hardly even touch him when he showed them what for. Not to mention he proved that strength in numbers wasn’t everything.”

Macareina took another look at James in surprise. To her, a stallion defending a mare was unheard of, and he wasn’t a stallion yet he defended not only a mare but her son.

“Ah guess ah can give ya a pass for that.” She said, crossing her arms. James was about to say something when he notices some rubble and dust left over on her hands.

“What happened there?” He asked. She only turns around from his question.

“It’s nothing you need to worry yourself about, alright?” Macareina said with a bit of edge in her voice.

“All I did was ask, you don’t gotta be a jerk about it.” James responded.

“And you expect me to answer you?” She replied with a sharp glare, all while curling up her fist.

“I just don’t get why the sour attitude ever since me and Scott got here.” James replied. “I’m only trying to figure out what I did to you that sparked this much of a hatred towards me when I all I did was ask a question. Is that so wrong?”

“Ah’m warning ya not to push it.” Macareina replied.

Applejack, Barb and Twilight looked between the two of them worried that a fight might break out between the two. So they quickly step in between the two with Barb and Twilight stopping James and Applejack stopping her older sister.

“Come on now sis, none of that.” AJ said.

“James please calm down you don’t have to start a fight with her.” Twilight pleaded.

“I’m not the one who started this.” He replied.

“We still need to go and check on Scott in the hospital,” Barb replied. “And I don’t want to have to explain to him as to why we’re carrying your beaten and bloody body into his room.” Barb said sternly.

“Fine, but at least do something about her attitude towards Scott and me ok.” James replied as he walked off leaving the girls behind. The girls just turn to Macareina who only turns her head away.

“Okay Macareina, I think I speak for all of us when I say we’re gettin real dang tired of your attitude towards stallions.” AJ said while giving her older sibling a look.

“And how do ah know that he isn’t trying to make us let our guard down?” Macareina said with a raised eyebrow.

“How would he make us let our guard down?” Barb replied. “Him and his brother are still confused about being here. Not to mention that you got the wrong idea about Scott when he fell on you by accident.”

“What has you so worked up that you had to lash out at James for asking a question?” Twilight asked.

“Ah don’t want to talk about it.” She added. “Ah’m going back to the farm.” She added while walking off, leaving the girls behind. Twilight and Barb only turn to her sister.

“Come on Applejack, you gotta tell us what’s going on with your sister.”

“Sorry girls, Ah promised ah wouldn't say nothin unless she brought it up, and I plan ta keep it.” Applejack replied. “Let’s just let her calm down fer now and try to find James.”

“Alright.” Barb added. “He should be at Ponyville Hospital right now.”

“Right, let’s get going.” Twilight said and the girls follow after James towards the hospital.

-Ponyville-

‘Man, what the hell is wrong with her?’ James thought to himself. He normally isn’t one to hold grudges on anyone, but he isn’t sure why he has to get yelled at for something so simple as a question. It was honestly ridiculous. He later sees the Ponyville hospital on the horizon, but his thoughts soon turn back to the red amazon mare.

‘She must be the type that hates all men or something…’ He added, resting on the side of the wall of the front of the hospital. The way she reacted when asking a simple question had him puzzled. ‘There’s gotta be a reason for her attitude.’ He continued to ponder on her actions for awhile until he heard the sounds of walking towards him. He looks up to see Twilight, Barb, and Applejack walking up to see him.

“Hey James.” Twilight said. “Are you alright?”

“I’m alright.” James replied in a calm tone. “I just needed to walk off the anger earlier.” He gets off the wall and stretches his limbs. He does notice that the red amazon wasn’t with the group. “Where’s your sister?”

“She said that she was going back to the farm.” Applejack replied. “Guessing she’s trying to work off some steam is all.”

“Anyways, can we check on your brother?” Barb replied, still holding Scott’s milkshake. They all agree and walk inside the room, only to to be greeted with quite the shock. They were expecting to walk into Scott’s room to see how he was doing, but instead he was in the check in room, walking around okay, as if nothing happened.

“Thanks mister.” Scott replied in a calm tone.

“Uh, don’t mention it.” He replied still very shocked and confused for what happened. Scott turns around to see the shocked faces of his brother and the girls.

“Hey guys, OOF!.”

“You’re ok?!” Barb yelled in surprise while hugging him tightly at seeing her coltfriend walking around completely unharmed.

“What’re you trying to do put me in the hospital again?” Scott wheezed from his girlfriends strength.

“Oh, sorry.” She said sheepishly.

“How the hell are you standing right now?” James asked in complete shock, unsure as to what just happened.

“You should still be in bed for about a week, still this’s just not possible!” Twilight exclaimed with her jaw dropped and AJ nodding in agreement with her.

“Who cares, my man is back on his feet now!” Barb cheered as she jumped into Scott’s arms and hugging him tightly.

“Nice to be holding you too Barb.” Scott replied.

“Maybe you can explain how you’re standing right now?” James replied. “You said that Macareina broke your ribs.”

“You remember that crystal that I found in those caves and I thought I lost it?” Scott asked his brother.

“Yes, I remember the gem, why bring it up now?”

“I found it. Well, half of it.” Scott replied, confusing everyone in the room other than the doctor who was puzzled at the situation.

“What do you mean you found half of it?” Twilight asked.

“It started after the doctors took my X-rays…”

-3 hours ago-

“God...sitting in this stupid bed is so boring.” Scott groaned to himself, uncomfortably shifting in his bed. He was already bored, even after looking at the few books next to him but it wasn’t helping him.

‘How does anyone lie in these stupid hospital beds anyway?’ He thought to himself, lying back down. The door to the room suddenly opens next to him getting his attention. His face lights up a little when he sees who’s in the doorway.

A tall female nurse was holding a clipboard in his hand and had a rather calm demeanor going for her. It was what she was wearing that had his staring. She wore a white nurse uniform that looked a few sizes too small for her frame. It was rather tight against her hourglass frame, mainly her chest. It also didn’t help that it wasn’t buttoned up all the way giving a good v cut to her malleable FF-cup knockers.

“You must be the new patient in the office.” She said in a sweet tone, walking towards a stunned Scott. “Gotta say, you’re a strange one.”

“Um...h-hello nurse…” Scott said to her in a polite manner. Only that was in the open. What was going on in his mind right now when he was looking at her.

‘HELLLLLLOOOO NURSE!!!’ He yelled in his head as he continued to stare at who he deemed a hot nurse.

“And just what exactly are you staring at?” She said in a harsh tone shaking Scott out of his daydream. He looked up at the nurse as her demeanor went from sweet to cold, and the scowl on her face proved it.

“Um...nothing?” Scott answered in an awkward tone, with a rather sheepish smile. She lifts up and looks back at her clipboard. She then turns back to Scott.

“Say’s you’re in here for a few broken ribs.” She said returning to her calm demeanor. “Care to explain why?”

“I pissed off someone enough where she threw me into a wall and breaking my ribs, left a good impression of her on my chest.”

“How did that happen?”

“I tripped and fell on her, I think she took it the wrong way and did this to me.” Scott admitted with a blush.

“I find that a little hard to believe.” She added with a red smirk.

“Let’s just say considering my track record with girls I don’t have the best of luck.”

Hmm.” She thought to herself in a playful manner and looks back at him with a smirk. “It didn’t happen to be a red earth pony named Macarena did it?” She stated.

“Yeah, you know her?”

“I know of the past stallions who tried to court her were sent here.” She replied. Scott’s face turned pale after hearing this.

‘What grudge did the mare have with stallions for her to land them in the hospital?’ Scott thought to himself if all it took was him falling on her to shake her up.

“Um, any reason why she does this to males specifically?” He asked in a nervous tone.

“You ask me, I think it’s more of a personal problem for her.” She replied. “The last stallion she put in here, she kicked him hard enough to the point where the poor guy can’t have foals anymore.”

Scott clutches his groin and shudders in response after hearing that. Just at the thought of what she would’ve done to him if she really took it the wrong way.

“All I can say is this, unlucky or not, you walked away with only some minor injuries.”

‘Damn I’d hate to piss her off again.’ He thought to himself. Just then, another mare walks in the room with a tray of food. She turns to the bed to see Scott awake.

“Oh, you woke up.” She said in a cheery tone. “I was expecting you to be out for at least a few more days.”

“Yeah, I guess you could say I was lucky.” Scott replied, slumping back onto the bed.

“Well I guess with that out of the way,” Nurse Redheart replied as she walks out of the room for a few moments confusing the male. She later comes back with a big smile and Scott’s eyes get big when he sees what she was holding. She had a big smile on her face as she was holding a large medical needle and Scott was now freaking out. “It’s time to give you your medicine.”

She added while happily walking over the the scared human who was probably close to wetting himself right now.

“Fuck that shit I’m out!” Scott yelled as he jumped out of the bed and backed into the corner like a scared mouse. “You’re not sticking that fucking thing anywhere near me!”

“His are you moving around?! You should still have four broken ribs!” Redheart asked in shock which caused Scott to look down at himself. He felt his chest and didn’t feel the remnants of the fist on his chest, and he didn’t feel pain.

“Okay, I know I felt my ribs broken when she punched me earlier.” Scott exclaimed in a confused manner. “Did either of you do something to me while I was unconscious?”

“No, you were fully unconscious for awhile.” Sweetheart replied. “All we did was give you some bandages from the blows that were given to you.”

“Well you had to have done something because humans don’t heal this fast.” He replied in a calm tone.

“Unless you made something up just to get in the hospital, no.” Redheart replied.

“I don’t get in the hospital on purpose.” Scott replied. “Especially when I accidentally piss someone off.”

“If you want, I can have an x-ray prepared for you.” Sweetheart replied in a cheery tone.

“So long as you keep me away from needles, I’ll take it.” Scott added, slowly walking away from the corner he was in to get away from Nurse Redheart.

“Follow me.” She added, taking Scott’s hand and leading him towards the next room. Nurse Redheart sighs as she looks at the large syringe in her hands.

‘Damn...I was hoping I could use this.’

-Present-

“Honestly I think she was out to get me.” Scott added as the memory cuts away. James and the girls only looked at Scott blankly in confusion at him and start laughing a little.

“What’s so funny?” Scott asked, in a sour tone.

“Really, a needle?” James replied in a sarcastic tone. “You got freaked out over a needle?”

“Guess some boys will be boys if they have to be afraid of a little needle.”Twilight responded.

“It wasn’t just the needle but the size of her freaking syringe dude.”

“That’s not telling us on how you found the crystal you said you found Scott.” James said.

“I’m getting to that sheesh.” Scott followed up. “Like I told you guys I found it.”

“Well aren’t you going to tell us where the crystal is then?” Twilight questioned.

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, so it’d be better if I show you.” Scott added walking towards the front desk. The chair behind the desk was turned around and a pony was sitting in it. “Excuse me but could we see nurse Sweet-” Scott stops dead when the mare in the chair turns around and sees nurse Redheart sitting behind the desk.

“Uuuhhh…”

“Back so soon, oh and I see you brought a cute stud in as well.” Redheart added looking back at James with lustful intent

“Uh, thanks I guess.” James said blushing at the compliment.

“Uh, I was looking for Nurse Sweetheart. I need to show my brother and friends my X-rays.”

“Oh she’s currently busy now with another patient.” She added taking out a pen. “Something about a broken spine from a skateboarding accident.”

Scott and James cringed at that, knowing what that was like when they tried out skateboarding back in their high school days.

“But she did bring them up here earlier.” Nurse Redheart replied, reaching below her desk and pulling out some special film plates and gives them to the guys.

“Thanks.” Scott followed up. Scott then shows everyone his x-ray and they were shocked to say the least. In the picture, it showed half of the crystal lodged directly into Scott’s chest. The other half was still missing.

“The crystal is inside your chest?” Barb asked in shock.

“This is astonishing.” Twilight added looking at the picture.

“Dude, how the hell did this happen? Plus where’s the rest of it?” James asked confused at the onset.

“That’s the same question I asked myself,” Scott implied “but then I remembered on how we both touched the crystal at the same time.” He added.

James thought about it for a moment and his brother had a point. They both did touch the crystal after Scott brought it in and on how both wound up in Equestria later on.

“What are you suggesting Scott?” Twilight asked.

“I think the other half in inside of James.” Scott added, pointing towards James’s chest. The girls and James just look at him in confusion

“You seriously think that?” Twilight asked with a blunt stare.

“Yeah, I mean how else could it be here.” Scott said. “Plus I’ve seen enough fantasy films to know this kinda thing.” Everyone just stares at him, Twilight and Barb unamused while James cracks a small grin at his little brother.

“What?”

“You must be the type that watches way too much anime.” Twilight followed up with a blank stare, making Scott glare at her.

“This coming from the mare that watches tentacle porn?” Scott replied making Twilight blush a deep red, stuttering out a few words while Barb giggled at her sisters reaction and James was lightly snickering at the blushing unicorn.

“Moving on!” she exclaimed turning away from the group with her face redder than a tomato. Scott then turns back to Nurse Redheart who enjoyed the show that was going on.

“This usually happens when she gets flustered.” Redheart replied. “She and Barb came to town a few months ago and they don’t really get out much.

“Makes sense.” James replied.

“Any chance you can set up an X-ray for my brother here?” Scott asked.

“Why of course, I’m sure we can set you up right now.” Nurse Redheart replied, getting up from her seat, and walking from behind the counter. “Follow me.”

The boys, pony and drake walked down the hallway following the mare towards the examination room and find a large machine in the center.

Inside the room a long metal table lay at the center, and beside it was a large C shaped arm holding a device at the top

“Guess humanity and ponies aren’t that far apart when it comes to certain areas of science.” James replied in an enthusiastic tone.

“Right this way James.” She added, pointing towards the bed James walked up onto the bed while Nurse Redheart prepared the machine for the X-ray. She then walked over to a small locker and pulled out a ordinary hospital gown.

“Could you please put this on?” Red Heart asked.

“Sure.” James knowing the procedure took off his shirt and pants to put on the gown. Twilight and Applejack both saw his bare chest and blushed at how well muscled he appeared. Twilight’s face was bright red while Applejack blushed slightly. She had to turn away just to hide her interest in him.

‘Well for an alien he certainly easy on the eyes.’ Nurse Redheart thought to herself as she continued to stare at the human.

“Um excuse me?” James asked getting the mares attention.

“Huh, wha?” She was shaken form her thoughts when she notices he was now in the medical gown.

“Weren’t you going to take my X-ray nurse?”

“Oh, yes yes I will be doing that now.” She added, turning back to the machine with a red face and James only lies down onto the medical bed with a confused expression.

“Damn he’s fit,” Barb commented turning to Applejack. “Bet he can give you a run for your money AJ.” She added while the earth pony respectfully appreciated his physique but couldn’t help noticing a couple of scars on him. One was a long thin line on his left shoulder while the other appeared to be a deep cut along his left shoulder blade almost like something was driven through it. The last scare was actually below his abdomen where his stomach was where it looks like it was very deep.

‘Where the hay did he get those scars?’ Applejack thought to herself as she looked back at James.

The sounds of the machine beeping soon followed as the scans for James were taking place. A few moments passed, and the X-rays appeared on a black film from a printer next to the machine.

“Okay, I’ll just wait on these to settle in and I’ll call you back here in a bit.” Nurse Redheart replied taking the sheets from the printer. James in the meantime, puts his clothes back on and walks towards the girls, but takes a look at Twilight.

“Something wrong?”

“Huh, uhh no, no n-n-nothings wrong, heh heh.” Twilight blushed twirling a lock of her hair nervously. “Let’s just get going.” She said walking away leaving the human confused. Scott looks back at James with a knowing smirk and elbows his shoulder.

“Oooohhhh someone’s got a crush.” Scott teased.

“What are you ten?” James added staring back at Scott with a blunt look. “She doesn’t like me that way, plus we just met dude.”

“Your talking to the guy who managed to get a girlfriend in less than twenty four hours.”

“Yeah, after your said girlfriend almost beat our faces into the dirt.”

“You mean when you two called me a lizard?” She said irritated as smoke began to flare from her nostrils.

“Bear in mind we didn’t realize you were a dragon then, and back where we’re from dragons were just in myths and fairytales. Not to mention in a lot of pop culture.” James told her.

“Really, what other legends can you tell from your home?” Twilight asked intrigued.

“Well first off Unicorns, pegasi, griffons, hydra and even other mythical creatures that are make believe on earth.”

“There are other creatures that are make believe in our world, but we can’t think them up from the top of our heads.” Scott followed up.

“You know. Rainbow knew a griffon once before.” Twilight added.

“Really, think we could meet him?” James asks.

“Her actually, and no she was only staying for a couple days but left soon after.” Twilight followed up, but her tone kind of softened.

“Did something happen?” James asked.

“She doesn’t like to talked about it.” Barb followed up. “Especially since it involved Pinkie Pie.”

“I guess I’ll just leave it at that.” James followed up.

“Yeah. I’d rather wait in the lounge than sit in this room any longer.” Scott followed up.They continued walked for a bit until Scott slips into a puddle and falls forward and into another mares bust. Scott’s head was trapped but the mare in front of him was not amused.

“The Tartarus you think you’re doing?” The mare asked in an annoyed tone. Scott blushes and pulls himself away to see the mare that was in front of him.

She looked at him with her icy blue green eyes as she was wearing a doctor’s garb. Her mane was tied in a hair net, and tail were pretty long and had two shades of light blue. Her coat was a bright yellow and the doctor’s garb she had on had her cutie mark of four pink hearts around a white cross. Her bust size looked to be a DD cup and her butt was pretty big as well.

“Uh...sorry…?” He said in an awkward tone.

“You mind explaining yourself young man?”

“Sorry ma’am my brother is just a little accident prone here, he didn’t mean anything by it.” James told her.

“Hmpf! Well next time you should be more careful then, or the next pony you fall over might not be so understanding.” She told Scott sternly.

“Yeah I kinda found that out the hard way.” Scott added.

She gives the human a hard look, then briskly turns to the side letting Scott fall to the floor only for James to quickly catch him by the collar of his shirt, as the earth pony mare walks off down the hallway not bothering to look back.

“Thanks man.” Scott said to his brother.

“No problem, almost made a repeat from the last time with our highschool nurse.” James said. Twilight, Barb, and Applejack just look at Scott in confusion.

“You must have some serious bad luck if y’all keep doin’ this kinda thing.” Applejack replied.

“Heh, she might have been forgiving for that. But her girlfriend wasn’t.” Scott shuddered as he went back to a memory of the high school nurse.

“What happened?” Twilight asked.

“She walked in on them at the same time Scott fell on her, and let’s just say it wasn’t pretty after that.”James added.

“And the worst part was she wasn’t just her girlfriend, she was my physics teacher too.” He groaned. “I don’t think she ever got over it while I had her class.”

“‘Well look on the bright side, at least you had me in that class too.” James said.

“Yeah, mostly because she liked you whenever you we’re in class.” He grunted. “You seemed to have that effect on some of the girls back home.”

“I don’t do it on purpose.” James replied embarrassed. The sounds of hoofsteps soon interrupted the groups conversation and they turn around to see Nurse Redheart.

“Hello everyone.” Nurse Redheart said as she was holding a few spreadsheets in her hand. She turns to James with a knowing stare. “I think your human friend called it on his little theory.”

“Wait really?” Scott said surprised.

“See for yourself.” She added. “Follow me.” She walked them back to the X-ray room towards the back of it. She then pulled out the photos and placed them on a panel installed with a viewing light to help display the X-rays.

“Now if you look carefully here,” She added pointing to a specific area where James’ chest was. “you’ll see at his chest area, that this glowing part happens to be a crystal right next to his heart. It appears to be attached to his central nervous system as well.”

“Wow…” James replied in shock.

“That’s amazing.” Twilight said in an enthusiastic tone.

“Um, is it possible to try and get these removed?” Scott asked.

“I’m not sure if that’s going be possible.” Nurse Redheart added, turning back to the screen. “Since the crystal is so close to the spine and lies over your heart, Operating may cause spinal damage or heart failure. There’s also the fact that the crystal seems to be attached to your nervous systems. So if we tried to remove them, there's a very likely chance you won’t survive.”

“Oh geez…” Scott said unnerved while James just sighed.

“Guess trying to get these out is out of our bodies is out the window.” James replied in a sarcastic tone.

“But by the looks of things, it won’t be doing anything to your bodies that I know of.” She followed up. “Even if you move around normally, it’s not going to damage any internal organs.”

“Well that’s a relief.” Scott said. “At least we don’t have to worry about blowing up or getting cut open from the inside.”

“Could you not make it any more weird?” James said.

“At least you two found out what happened to the crystal.” Barb added.

“Can we go now?” James replied. “I’d like to get started on repaying my debt to Macareina after what happened the other day.”

“Please don’t remind me of how I almost destroyed the barn.” Barb whined with a pout. Twilight only places a hand on the dragoness’ shoulder.

“Look at it this way Barb; The faster you get this done, the faster you can get it over with.” She followed up.

“Alright.” She added.

“Guess we’re no longer needed here.” James followed up turning towards the door, but not before he and the group looked back at nurse Redheart. “Thank you for your time ma’am.”

“Don’t mention it.” She added. Everyone soon leaves the hospital room, leaving the earth pony nurse behind. Soon as the door close behind them though, she pulls out the XL syringe that she planned to use on Scott before.

“One day my dear, one day.” She said stroking the side of the syringe lovingly, hoping to one day use it.

-Hallway-

Applejack, James, Twilight, Barb and Scott walked down the hallway after leaving the room that had the X-ray machine to talk about what they were going to do when they get to the barn at Sweet Apple Acres.

“Okay, first order of business.” Applejack said as she was thinking of the choirs that were probably going to be available once they got to the farm. “There’s that large hole we need to patch up in the barn.”

“I did do some wood work before.” James replied. Applejack only nods as she looks back at erh list.

“Next is replacing some of the crops that got burned by a certain dragoness.” Applejack added, glaring at Barb with a stern look. The purple dragoness only blushes as she turns her head away while rubbing the back of her head.

Scott’s body shudders from head to toe as he felt a sense of dread running down his spine as he walked with his brother and the three girls with him. Barb noticed the scared look on his face and stopped briefly to see how he was doing.

“Scott, are you okay?” Barb asked, walking towards Scott whose face looked very pale.

“I have a scary feeling that the nurse is out to get me.” Scott added as he still shook. Barb only smiles as she presses herself against him and he felt his right arm between her scaled bosom.

“Aw, does the nurse scare you?” She teased, still rubbing her body against him, making him more flustered rather than scared.

“Hey, save the flirtin’ fer later.” Applejack replied in a dark tone. “I’m still making a list of some of the stuff ya damaged during yer little tirade on our farm.”

“Come on, I said I was sorry.” Barb replied.

“Yeah, well I’d rather get out of this hospital faster.” Scott added, dashing forward ahead of everyone else. He soon makes a right turn and unknowingly bumps into somepony rather small as he heard the sounds of a little filly yelping.

“Oh, sorry about that.” Scott said as he walked towards the little filly.

"Ow, that really smarts." The young filly mentions, as she rubbed her head. Though from the looks of it, seemed like she was running a bit too fast as there was some dirt trailing on her light creme colored tail. It wasn't long before she stood up and whipped her tail from side to side, leaving relatively clean. Aside from the small pebbles that is her coat was a light reddish color with small streaks of white eggshell color around her muzzle. She wore a red flannel button up shirt over a white T-shirt that was one size too big as it seemed to have been more of a jacket rather than a button up shirt.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. Oh I hate the hospital." She mentions looking up at Scott clearly she had some fear in her eyes, whatever she didn't like about the hospital clearly showed.

"Rose, what did I tell you about running ahead. Didn't I say you'd hurt yourself or someone else." Just from behind her a stallion approached picking up Rose before crouching down and sighing pick out the small pebbles tangled in her tail.

His coat was a dark whiskey orange along with a obsidian black mane and tail. He wore what looked like a semi formal get up, though his tie was undone as if he woke up from a hangover.

"Sorry about that, she's just nervous." The stallion mentions as he looked up from his crouched position as he moved his fingers through her mane with ease. His tone seemed kind and gentle when addressing his sister, yet as he turned his attention to the human.

"You see something new everyday." He mentions with a chuckle, though Rose finally noticing the situation went wide eyed and gasped.

"So Lyra wasn't crazy! They do exist!" The filly exclaims pulling on the stallion's shirt.

“Yeah yeah I see that Rose, relax you're making a fool of yourself.” He mentions shaking his head before standing up.

“Really sorry about my little sister, she's scared of the hospital plus she was trying to get there as soon as possible to get it over with. Uh anyway names Jack Daniels and my little sister, the crazy filly down there her name’s Rose Gem.” Rose huffs as she pinches Jack’s leg, though it wasn't really felt considering that it was a tiny filly.

“Jerk.” She mentions crossing her arms as she looks away, though that grumpiness wouldn't last very long.

“Nice to meet the two of you.” Scott replied in a friendly tone, holding his hand out for a handshake. James, Twilight, Applejack and Barb soon show up to see what was going on and find the two in front of Scott.

“Hey Scott.” Twilight said, but soon notices the two new faces in front of her. “Oh, who are these two?”

“Wait, you’re Scott?” He asked in shock.

“Yeah, how’d you know?”

“A familiar red mare I ran into is still pretty pissed at you.” He said with a slight chuckle. “Something about you groping her and she landed a hit hard enough to crack your ribs.”

“I didn’t grope her on purpose, I fell on her.” Scott said in a defensive manner. “I slipped on something while on the stairs and I just fell.”

“Likely story there bud.” Jack replied with a smug look. “I can only say this, you must have some serious balls to do that.”

“I’m serious man.” Scott added in an annoyed tone.

“We can vouch for Scott on that.” James replied and the three turn back to James. “Things normally turn bad for Scoot back on earth when it came to girls since he finds different ways to piss them off and he doesn’t even try.”

“Okay, he can not be that clumsy.” He added, still skeptical at the situation, until Applejack steps up.

“They’re tellin the truth sugarcube.” She replied with her arms crossed. “Ah happened to be in the room with these three and mah sister when it happened.” Jack just looks into her eyes and saw no signs of faltering and just smiles.

“Okay I believe you.” Jack replies, as he picks up Rose. “I doubt you can tell a lie that save your flank anyway.”

“Thanks.” Applejack growled, as she tried to restrain herself from hitting him for that comment.

“Hey Applejack!” a familiar bubbly voice called from behind them. Everyone turns around to see the bouncing mare happily walking towards the group. “Oh and I see Scott is back on his feet.”

“Yeah we found out that the crystal we found earlier is literally in our bodies right now.” James replied. Pinkie’s face only lit up after hearing this.

“Really?”

“Yeah, she even said that the thing might merge with our skeletal and nervous systems so we can’t do much about it since it’s dangerous to operate.”

“Does this mean that you both have super powers or something?” She asked her face suddenly lighting up like a christmas tree.

“How should we know?” James asked in a dull tone. “Anyways, the nurse said that it’s not really something we can look into, se we should be alright.”

“Okay.” She added with a happy chirp. She would soon turn around to see Rose Gem and a very flustered Jack Daniels. “Hiya Rosie. Hi Jackie.”

“Hi Ms Pinkie.” Rose said in a cheery tone looking up towards the bubbly mare and smiling. Jack on the other hand was very nervous as he looked like his face was pale.

“Uh...hey pinkie…” He said in a nervous tone. James noticed his demeanor changed from this. What was once the dark and sarcastic stallion seemed more timid when the pink party mare was around.

“Jack you silly filly. You don’t have to be so nervous around me. I’m the mare that knows everypony.” Her happy smile clearly not leaving as she seemed proud of it.

‘Easier said than done ya dopey cute mare.’ He mumbles to himself before clearing his throat, as he gives her a small smile.

“R-right, I forget how much of a friendly mare you truly are. But hey, you can't help but like that about me.” His more positive sly attitude had come back after viewing Pinkie’s loving attitude.

“Hahaha! Silly Jackie, I like everyone sweet. You're always the sweetest around me, oh like ice cream smothered in strawberry syrup mixed with chocolate peanuts.” At this point she was drooling, as Jack leaned forward and closed her mouth.

“Maybe save the thought of sweets when you're back home.” He mentions making Pinkie blush, though it was hard to see consider her pink fur. From the looks of it, it seemed they were both attracted to one another, or at least he was. But the way Pinkie reacted to his advances, she seemed into it.

“Y-yeah! I'll even make you a sundae if you want, I mean Rosie. I'll make you one. It'd be totally weird if I made you one Jackie. Especially if I deliver it you HAHAHAHA!” She tried her best to cover up the awkwardness, though it just made it more so. She backs away and pushes her friends together to block her embarrassed face.

“Anyways, I better get to my sister’s appointment. I'll see ya later Pinks.” She waves her hand, giving him a odd laugh as she turned away.

“Everyone.” He says turning away with her as Rose pulled him close and whispered.

“That's weird…Jack, she's weird. You two are cute together!” Rose laughs as she holds tightly on Jack’s hand walking with him towards the office.

“What was that about?” Twilight asks turning to Pinkie as she seemed excited for a bit, before calming herself down and sighing.

“Just a little flirting, ya know normal things!” That positive attitude of Pinkie’s was clearly there, but Twilight only looked at Pinkie with more confusion.

“Yeah I saw that, but why were you acting that way and with him of all ponies.” Clearly there was a problem with Jack, as it seemed to both surprise and disappoint Twilight.

“He's nice.” Pinkie exclaims as she stares forward trying to catch a glimpse of him though, they were far from being able to see each other. Mostly due to Jack and Rose having entered the pediatrician’s office for a check up.

“Nice? I dunno what yer talkin’ about Pinkie, but that there stallion ain't nice. He's kinda jerkish if ya ask me.” Applejack mentioned as it seemed like people had opinions on the stallion in question.

“What do you mean?” James asked as he, Twilight, Barb, and Scott walked towards the two.

“He doesn’t seem to like the rest of us, but it’s a whole different story when it comes to Pinkie.” Applejack added. “Ah just don’t get why he’s like that when around her, but the rest of us he’s got a problem.”

“I think I can take a guess.” James added.

“I mean he's not only nice to me, he's nice to Rarity too. And she likes him, not like I like him. But like friendly, maybe it's because he's from Trottingham.” Pinkie closes her eyes thinking a bit as Twilight spoke up.

“Trottingham? He's from Trottingham? That sounds like a lie, a stallion like him coming from there? I know it's a city of some culture and clearly he doesn't have a drop in him.” Though that must've rubbed Pinkie the wrong way as she turned away from her.

“Well maybe it's best of that that's why you don't know. Of course that only lead to more questions about the guy than it solved.”

“Pinkie...are there any areas in that city that are in poverty?” He asked the group.

“Actually, the only areas where I would say are poverty stricken is the more rural areas. Farms and the like even then, it's extremely expensive to even live there. Are you sure he lived in Trottingham Pinkie?” Twilight asked as she closely looked at Pinkie but of course that only garnered a nod.

“I'm not lying Twilight! And I know he isn't, but when I first met him. He was a bit weird looking, he had bruises on his face and a black eye. Also his lip was busted too. He looked like he got out of a serious fight.” Pinkie had remembered slightly though that was years ago.

“Pinkie...ya never told us that. Didja ask why his face was busted up?” Applejack asks

“He only said he was in a fight and lost, after that everyday at dawn for the past 5 years I'd see him exercise, ya know jog, air boxing, and sprinting. It's kinda hot.” Pinkie mentions with a dopey look on her face.

“Think about that later Pinkie! This just keeps getting weirder, maybe we could ask Rares for some info on the guy.” Applejack sighed a bit, it seemed it was more work to even get to know Jack then anything.

“Hmm…” James only pondered on what he heard form both Twilight and Pinkie. The town sounded a lot like Birmingham back in James’ and Scott’s world. “You guys go on ahead. I’m gonna see where this guy went.”

“If you’re looking for Jack daniels, he should be in room 223 on the second floor.” Doctor Coldheart said, walking away from the group to continue her work.

“Thanks.” James replied as he goes to look for the two, but not before turning to see his friends. “I’m gonna go look for Jack and Rose. You think you guys can wait for me outside the building?”

“Sure.” Scott replied.

“I wouldn’t mind.” Barb replied in a calm tone.

“Ah don’t mind sugarcube…” Applejack added in a calm tone. “I’ll be taking Scott and Barb towards the farm. We’ll see you there.”

“Alright.” James replied, walking away from the group and everyone else was on their way to the farm other than Twilight who was going back to her treehome.

-Room 223-

Jack waited silently as he looked over a magazine in the room, the generic magazines. The ones that usually showed fashion or food, each one plastered with ads of food and expensive watches and phones. Expensive things he couldn't really afford, well he could but the idea alone of spending almost 1,600 bits on something he wouldn't use was a bit of a silly notion.

“So when are you gonna tell Pinkie that you want to take her out on a date?” Jack rolled his eyes as Rose would never let this go. Ever since they came to Ponyville, it's been this question over and over again.

“I’m busy with other crap to worry about girls Rosy, I have you to care for, I also have my job.”

“Boooooo, you two are cute together. Plus I can see she totally has the hots for you!”

“I doubt it Rosy…” Jack said with slight doubt to himself.

“I don't know why you suddenly feel different about Pinkie, I mean weren't you the guy who dated every girl in Trottingham? You asked them out, they said yes, a few weeks later you dumped them. It should be easy!”

“It ain't simple Rose. I was younger back then, almost years younger back when we lived with mom and dad.”

“Mom... dad…” Rose stayed quiet before sighing softly and shaking her head.

“Anyways I think you should ask her out!”

“Absolutely not, besides it's my business who I date not yours.”

“Hey! If Pinkie turns out to be a great girlfriend imagine that babies! Those pink little gals crawling around making you the happiest dad!” Jack shivered at the thought.

“Abso-fucking-lutely not! I don't plan on being a dad anytime soon kiddo!”

“Somebody’s feeling crabby.” A Voice called out from behind the two causing Jack to jump slightly. Rose Gem only looks out the door and sees one of the humans that was with the other two ponies and dragoness from earlier.

“Hi mister.” Rose called out.

“Sup kiddo.” James replied in a friendly tone. He turns to Jack who wasn’t amused at seeing James.

“Can I help you?” Jack asked in a dark tone.

“I actually wanted to talk to you.” James replied in a calm tone, ignoring his sour mood. “I just found it a little strange with how you acted towards Pinkie Pie and my friends earlier.”

“Pinkie? What about her, she's a good friend they aren't. Besides who cares, it's not like it matters either way. The way we speak to one another is between me and her, her and Rarity but that's a topic for another day.” Shaking his head, he began reading the magazine in his hand, though he just wanted out of the conversation.

“I think you keeping your emotions bottled up like this ain’t healthy.” James added. “I’m not asking you to tell me, but I think it’s best you tell her how you really feel about her. The way you acted around her tells me one thing; you have a crush on the pink mare.”

Jack suddenly flinches in response and turns to James with a glare.

“Here's the thing pretty boy, you shouldn't get into a guy’s business. Because you don't have a god damn idea about our relationship. It's none of your goddamn business.” He mentions standing up as Rose gets out of bed and tries to push Jack back.

“J-Jack please, you're going to be taken by the guards again.” Rose saw his fist balled up as she had seen this before. Or at least experience this a few times to know to calm Jack down.

“You better leave mister, when Jack gets mad he doesn't hold back. I don't want a repeat of what happen 5 years ago.” Though there was more to the story of what happened 5 years ago when he first met Pinkie.

‘Five Years ago?’ James thought to himself as he looked at the angry stallion in front of him.

“Bring up my business with Pinkie, and I'll make sure you leave it alone.” He mentions as his hands would go to her younger sister’s shoulder and lightly pushed her aside.

“Jack, I think you need to calm down. I’m only trying to help you.” James replied. Jack didn’t listen as he walks up to James with a death glare.

“I’m warning you asshole.” The stallion looked dead into James’s eyes, his fist ready to punch him. Though it seemed like a miracle happened as the two were interrupted by a passing nurse with a very concern look on her face.

“Are you apart of their family sir?” She asks as she looked at the two confused.

“No he’s not.” Jack coldly states as his fist would slowly calm down, Rose looked up towards her older brother sighing in relief as she seemed happy that the nurse interrupted the two. With the nurse escorting James out, Jack sighed in relief.

“Son of a bitch.” He mumbled as he sat down, as Rose walked towards Jack and gave him a hug. She would then try to say something but Jack immediately stops her.

“Don't start, I don't wanna hear this bull shit about me and Pinkie anymore. I'll worry about it when I can talk to her.”

Author's Note

Now Chapter 4 is ready. Sorry it's a little short, but I wanted to try and get the crystal part out of the way, plus you'll find out why these crystals aren't harming the two males later down the line. Also my friend who is helping me with this has something planed for the rebooted Jack when my OC James confronts him later. Credit goes to The Beat Brony for helping me out on this chapter.

Chapter 5(Edited)

James was led away from the room that Jack and Rose were in by the nurse that led him out and she looked back at James with concern and at the same time fear. She was worried about what would have happened had he provoked him to a breaking point. She soon brought him downstairs and looked at him.

“Any reason why you were trying to provoke him?” She asked with a stern look.

“I wanted to figure out what was going on with him.” James replied. “I wasn’t trying to provoke him, it’s just the way he acted around my friends seemed...off…”

“No offense, but I think you should leave this alone.” She followed up. “He hates it when anypony tries to butt into his personal life.”

“It’s not healthy to keep things bottled up for so long.” James replied, crossing his arms.

“What makes you think you know about what’s going on in her brother's life?” She asked in a rather fierce tone.

“Because I know what it’s like to be stabbed in the back by someone you thought you could trust.” James replied calmly. “I’d rather not talk about it since it is on a personal level, but I at least want to talk to him at all. That’s pretty much it.”

“At least I can understand so you should understand why Jack doesn’t like it when anyone asks about his personal life.” She added with an even tone. “Now I’d like to ask you to leave the premises. The stallion can take care of himself.”

“Alright, I know when I’m not needed.” James said as he turns around and leaves the room. He takes about four steps towards the end of the hall, all while turning back to the nurse with a serious look on his face. “I at least want you to know that I’m not giving up on this.”

James finally left the hospital and the nurse mare only sighs to herself as she walked back towards the room that Jack and Rose were currently in. She could only think to herself on thing;

‘And I thought Jack Daniels was stubborn about his life, but to be stubborn about wanting to get to know someone is just unreal.’

-Outside-

James finally stepped outside of the hospital with a lot on his mind. There was Macareina with how she acted towards when Scott fell on her, Jack’s sudden hostility towards James, and now him and his brother trying to adapt to a new world that they know nothing about. While he was contemplating his thoughts, he turned around a corner, and bumps into a familiar dragoness that was looking for him. It was Barb as she was looking for James and he noticed that Applejack and Scott weren’t with her.

“Finally.” She called letting out a huff. “I was waiting for about thirty minutes, and when you didn’t come out I started looking for you.”

“Sorry Barb.” James replied. “So where are Scott and Applejack?”

“They went on ahead to the barn and asked me to find you dummy.” She added with a pout.

“My bad. So you’ll lead me back to the barn you destroyed?” He added, teasing the young dragoness, causing her to punch him in the arm slightly making him jump.

“Shut up and come on.”

“Alright, alright.” James said in annoyance as he followed the rambunctious dragoness. They walked through the town and noticed several ponies minding their own business as they were on their way to Sweet Apple Acres. As they walked through town, James decided to spark up a conversation. “So how bad was the damage?”

“Well the wall I smashed has to be rebuilt, some of the areas I’ve burned have to be replanted and refurbished, and then plant some new crops, AJ says she’s still herding some of the animals after I spooked them, and cleaning around their house.”

“Sounds simple enough.”

“I also have to replace some patches of grass with some of the turf being burned off.” She added with a sheepish smile while rubbing the back of her head.

“Okay, that one is going to depend on how wild the flames were.”

“They had to call the fire department after I was chasing you guys.” She added while blushing.

“Heh, I’ve heard of a rampaging dragon, never thought I‘d get to see one in action.” James’ chuckled a little, earning him a light punch in the arm from Barb.

“Ow.”

“That’s not funny, jerk.” She groaned as she and him continued to walk.

“Okay, okay, sorry.” James replied as he now had to change the subject. “You know, I know that we talk about you being adopted and all, but did you ever meet your parents before?”

“Not really no.” Barb said as her mood soon went south. “I honestly don’t even know where they are or what they look like. Ever since Twilight hatched me, her, her parents, her brother, and Celestia were the only family I ever had.” She replied sadly, James couldn’t help but notice her shoulders droop a little.

“If it makes you feel any better, I never knew my parents either.” James replied, making Barb a little stunned.

“What?”

“Yeah, Scott doesn’t know his dad either. But I don’t think he wants to know.”

“How come?”

“He doesn’t like talking about it, and I already made a promise that unless he brings it up, I don’t say anything.” He explained.

“I see, what about your dad, what he is like?”

“I honestly don’t know.” James said as he looked down. “I do know that I was found by Scott’s family for a bit after being on my own until I was seven.”

“What do you mean on your own?” Barb asked. James only held the right side of his shoulder as they walked and had a dark moon on his face.

“That’s a sour topic that I’d rather not talk about.”

“You sure?”

“Trust me when I say this, since it’s a sour topic I don’t like talking about.” He replied. “I’ll only say that it happened when I was six and it was a year after that before I met Scott that I really couldn’t trust anyone.”

“Alright, guess I won’t press any further.” Barb added as she looked at him. “By the way, why were you still in there?”

“Had a run in with Jack and his little sister Rose.” James replied in a calm tone.

“You do know we try to avoid him right?” Barb added.

“I just feel there’s something off about him, as if we’re connected or something.” James replied in a calm tone.

“I’ve seen your personality and I doubt you both are connected.”

“You never know.” James added in a calm tone. “There are some people with the way they act, that they hide how hurt they really are.”

“Whatever floats our boat.” Barb added with a dull look. She then looks forward to see the large barn up ahead. “Okay, Sweet Apple Acres shouldn’t be that much farther from here.”

“Okay then.”

-Sweet Apple Acres-

Both individuals arrive at the barn and James takes the time to smell the fresh air there, as well as assessing the damage that was caused. Barb wasn’t kidding about the damage that was done as James saw it first hand. Some of the barn animals were still running around and waiting to be captured.

“Geez, I didn’t think you spooked them this bad.”

“I wasn’t expecting Scott to call me a lizard at the time.” Barb replied with a dull tone.

“Well It's about time ya got here.” A voice called out making Barb and James turned to the direction of its owner. It was Applejack dressed in her usual attire of a red checkerboard shirt and baby blue shorts. She was walking towards the two with a wheelbarrow rolling in front of her and wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I was beginning to think ya skipped out on us,”

“I’m not the kinda person to skip out on anything.” James replied as he walked over to her. “I say I’m gonna do something, then I’m gonna do it.”

“Good mentality.” Applejack replied. “Maybe you can help ma sister out on the fields by picking crops.”

“Sure, where are the fields?” He asked.

“Down this path and make a left. Mah sister is out there as well so try to be on yer best behavior.”

“Sure thing.”

“What about me?” Barb asked. Applejack just gives the dragoness a dull glare as she shoved a paint can as well as a brush in her hands. She then points towards the gaping hole on the side of the barn that Barb made when she chased the two brothers the other day.

“Yer gonna help yer new coltfriend fix the hole y’all made in the barn yesterday.”

“Hehe, right.” She said as she walked away from AJ towards the barn. Only to be grabbed by the shoulder and meeting the farm ponies steely gaze.

“Oh no yah don’t partner, yew might be old enough to have sex and be on your own, but as long as yer here, you gotta go by my rules or else, I’m gonna have tah remind ya who’s in charge here.”

Barb shuddered at the mare, quickly nodding her head yes. She knew better than to anger the Apple family when it comes to barn work. On the outside it looks like Applejack was smiling, but she felt an intensity in her eyes that made her scales shiver, Applejack let go of dragoness and she walked away from her.

“Phew and I thought Pinkie Pie was scary.” She sighed to herself as she turned to the hole in the wall. She then noticed movement out of the corner of her eye and saw Scott carrying a stack of wooden planks in his hands.

“Oh hey Barb, looks like you got here already.” He said as he set the boards down. “What took you so long?”

“Was trying to find your brother only to learn that he was dealing with Jack.”

“Oh boy, so how did it go?”

“He said not much, and I figured I would ask him about his life but certain questions I asked him he got pretty defensive about.”

“What questions?”

“I asked about a scar on his left shoulder and he only held it as if he was in pain for a moment.” She said, Scott's face shuddered and grimaced at hearing that as he knew what she was talking about. “Is there something I should know about?”

“Sorry, I can't say.”

“Oh come on.”

“I’m serious,” Scott added with a stern look. “Our lives may be crazy, but there are some things that even we don’t talk about. Plus me and bro made a pact.”

“And that pact is?”

“Unless either of us brings up something about our past life, the other doesn’t bring it up.” Scott added. “Unless you’re okay with having a needle in your eye.”

“Okay...dark much…”

“Yeah, I know.” Scott added. “But it’s how we keep our pasts from biting us in the ass and to move forward with our lives.”

“Alright alright, I won’t ask anymore.”

“Okay then.” Scott said as he

“You know Scott,” She batted her eyes at him which wasn’t helping as it weakened Scotts resolve to resist. “Maybe after work, you and I could sneak off for a little and…”

“Uh Barb I-I-t-think we really should get back to w-work.” Scott stutters as the dragoness wraps her arms around his shoulders and runs her right leg along his outer thigh making him blush deeply, as his cock begins to harden from her ministrations. Luckily before the dragoness could take it any further a red sphered object hit her right in the back of the head.

‘Splat’!

“Ow!”

The couple turned to the offender to find Applejack leaning against the barn wall not far from them tossing an apple in her hand while a bushel was right next to her. She was glaring at them, almost daring them to go any further so she could unleash her righteous apple based fury.

“Ah thought told you two to git to work, not makin’ out like a couple a’ teenagers.”

“Uh sorry Applejack, we...were just about to start.” Scott smiled nervously leaving Barb frowning at the interruption.

“See to it that ya do,” She added.

“You didn’t have to throw an apple at my head,” Barb whined at the pain she was currently feeling.

“Well how else was I gonna have ya keep yer mind on the damage ya did to mah farm?” She added with a glare and Barb couldn’t really say anything. She just joins Scott with her chores and sets up for her next run.

“And don’t even think about skipping work just to fuck like a couple’a rabbits in heat season!” Applejack called out making Barb slink back from the young man who was now blushing up a storm.

“Um you weren’t really planning on doing that right?” Scott asked, feeling nervous.

“Not yet,” She purred, walking closer to the blushing male brushing her tail teasingly along his groin, only to get an apple to the back of her head.

“Ow!” She yelped after clutching the back of her head where the apple struck her, a little bump forming on her head. Both individuals then turn to Applejack who was holding another apple and crushes it in her palm with little effort.

“Less yappin, more fixin you two.” Applejack called out as she walked away the two went back to work repairing the barn.

-Field-

James followed Applejack’s directions to where the field was after leaving Applejack and Barb back at the barn with his brother. His thoughts turned back to him wondering if he was going to be alright.

“I just hope Scott doesn’t break something or angers one of them...or both of them.” He sighed, he loved his brother a lot but sometimes his clumsiness can get pretty out of hand for James. For the moment he focused on finding where Macarena is and helping her with the crops. Soon he finds her pulling a large plow with one arm to plant a few more seeds in the field.

“Hey Macarena!” James called out towards the red farm mare. She heard his voice and turned to the male with a dark glare.

“‘Bout time ya’ll showed up.” She said as she got back to pulling the plow. “What the hay were ya even doing?”

“Had a run in with a stallion by the name of Jack Daniels.” He replied. “Just wanted to have a chat with him that’s all.”

“Well if ya got time to chat,” She said as she pointed to the other field behind her. “Y’all can start by picking out the lettuce and carrots we have out on the farm. Ya just gotta get 'em in those bins back there.” She followed up pointing towards some large bins that looked to be four feet in length with a six foot height.

“So you want me to pick these and get them inside these bins?” James replied. “Doesn’t really seem that hard.”

“Well if yer so confident,” She said shoving him in front of the field. “Then see how much you can get done within three hours. I’ll be back in around that time to see yer progress.”

“Okay.” James said. “Good luck with your job.”

“Juet get to work…” She growled.

James puts his arms above his head and stretches moving his body from side to side feeling his back and hips pop and crack. Putting his arms down and shaking his hands he gets into a squat and readys his hands. Taking a deep breath, he shoves his hands into the soft dirt and lifts up, flinging the lettuce into the air and having it land into the bin.

“What in the hay?” Macareina said as she left her mouth agape. Watching as James ran through the field throwing up lettuce like it was a small pebble tossing it one after another into the bin.

“Man, this is a work out, I never knew I could move this fast and work at the same time” James thought to himself.

A faint glow was emitting from James body a faint white aura pulsing and shining dimly

James stops holding a couple heads of lettuce in his arms looking back at Macareina who was now looking at him in confusion.

“What?”

“What do ya mean what?” She asked in a rather irritated tone. “How the hay did you even get that done so fast?”

‘I don’t know, I just started moving and it just happened.” James says looking around at the field. “I normally do this back home, but I never got done this quick.”

“How the hay could you possibly not know?” She added walking towards him. “It makes no sense.”

“Me and Scott showing up to an alternate world filled with magic and mythical creatures also makes no sense when we found that rock earlier.” He replied earning a glare from the red farm mare. She lets out a sigh and tries to ignore him while thinking for a moment. Seeing him work as fast as he was doing it earlier, it didn’t make much sense to him, but it would make doing the chores much faster.

“Fine, just get it over with and we’ll see what happens from there.” She said as she got back to plowing the field. It took half an hour, and by the time she was done, James had already cleared out three of the fields that had Carrots, Lettuce, and Radishes.

“Done.” James replied as he looked back at the bins that were now full of produce. “What’s next?”

“Well I guess since you’re done with that,” She said, tossing him a bag worth of seeds towards James. “You can help me plant seeds in the fields to get ready for the next harvest.”

“Okay, so I’ll just wait till you move the plow,” James said as he threw the bag over his shoulder holding on to it with one arm while he waited on the red mare to pull the plow. As she pulled it, James planted the seeds one by one in the field behind her. It was around thirty minutes, that they only got half of the field completed.

“Wow, we are moving fast,” Jamas said standing up and wiping away the sweat from his brow

“Ma sister and I usually never move this fast” Macareina said looking around at the field they had half way done. “It usually takes us just an hour to get a quarter of it done”.

“Do you want to take a break for a bit then we can get started on the last half of the field,” James says looking over at Macareina.

She looks back suspiciously and says “Sure, I’m mighty thirsty.”

“Well why don’t we take a break, seeing as I can’t figure this out?” She said in annoyance. “We have a watering hole just outside of the farm.”

“Lead the way,” James added, putting the bag of seeds on the ground.

The two then made their way over the group of trees moving in between the tightly knitted orchard. It wasn’t long before they arrived at the large body of water that was around the size of the barn as it sat near their farm.

“Here it is, our very own lake.” Macareina says as she finds a rock near the water and sits down looking at the glistening water, sparkling in the sunlight. “Ma sisters sometimes come here to cool off or think about things.” She says staring off at the calm water.

“Wow, this is actually beautiful.” James said in shock. “And not to sound rude or anything but you’ve been strangely nice to me considering how we first started earlier. Why the sudden change in attitude?”

“Don’t get the wrong Idea,” She said with a growl, glaring at James causing him to back up slightly. “It’s just something to show mah thanks for how fast ya picked all the crops out on the field, and planted them seeds, I still don’t like you but I appreciate hard work.”

“Noted,” James replied. He walked up to the water dipping a hand inside feeling the cool soothing water. “It feels amazing,” He says standing up. He reaches down and grabs the end of his shirt and pulls up taking it off. Macareina notices this and raises an eyebrow at him.
Then she notices all the scar on his right shoulder.

“Where’d ya get that scar from?” She asks as he turns she then notices the one on his abdomen.

“Yeah some asshole that got mad at my brother for calling him out for cheating on a major test that we had back home.” James replied in a more somber tone.

“Okay how does cheating on a test get you a scar in yer gut?”

“It was what the bastard tried to do to my brother after that for ratting him out,” James replied in a dark tone. “He and a few of his buddies tried to beat up Scott and planned on not only beating him up but making an example out of him. If I didn’t find him when I did, I would’ve lost him for sure.”

“That sounds horrible,” Macareina said in surprise at what she was hearing from him.

“Yeah, bastard only managed to pull a knife on me but that was about all he could do,” James continued. “I landed him and his two goons in the hospital for what they tried to do and even smashed one of the guys' balls. Told the folks at school what happened and now he and his buddies are in prison for about 20 years for what they tried to do.”

“Guess that’s a good thing,” Macreina replied. ‘Why am I talking to this fella so openly, although he doesn’t seem so bad, especially after a long time of not datin anypony. Hmf just wait wait until he shows his true self, I wouldn’t be surprised he’s like all the rest of them stallions’, She thought bitterly.‘ Still, he’s rather somethin…’ She thought to herself as she shook off her bitterness for a moment and looked at the next scar on his right shoulder. “So how’d ya get that scar in yer right shoulder?”

“Some asshole my brother busted for cheating on an exam,” James replied.

“What do you mean yer brother busted?”

“Exactly what I mean,” James followed up. “He was running late home and he saw the guy taking pictures of the answers for an upcoming test in one of our classes that we were taking and Scott soon exposed him in front of the whole class.”

“Ya serious?” She added in surprise confusion.

“Yeah even with the threat of the entire football team threatening to kick his ass,” James replied chuckling. “He busted them anyway and the school actually supported that, but the football team didn’t take too kindly to Scott ratting their star quarterback. When I found him he was bloodied and bruised but still breathing.”

“That’s terrible.”

“Yeah I was pretty pissed when I found out what he did, and this was in middle school,” James followed up with anger in his voice. “Let’s just say I paid each of them a visit and gave them a pretty painful lesson.”

“By what?” Macareina asked, actually interested in this.

“Breaking some of their legs, some of their arms, and the last guy who Scott busted, I broke all four of his limbs, and cracked a few ribs.” James replied with a sigh. “I was beyond pissed that day for what he and the football team did, and for selfish reasons no less. I got suspended for a week because of it, but it was worth it if you ask me. I actually got on the news for what I did, but what would you do in that situation if you were in my shoes?”

“Well ah’ll be, and I thought you were just some cocky punch jockey,” She said looking at him. “So what happened to the football team after that?”

“Well after Scott recovered, I made the football team apologize for what they did to him and threatened that they'll be in worse shape than what I put him through if they tried that again,” James replied. “A lot of the students actually commended me for what I did to them for what they did to my brother and they had a pretty bad reputation since they had to do community service for what happened after that. If you’re the kinda guy that cheats and then beats up someone for exposing you for cheating, you’re gonna have a bad time.”

“Ah’ll bet,” Macareina said in surprise.

‘Ah can’t believe I’m listening to a male for the first time, and he isn’t like the last stallion ah met’ She thought to herself thinking of how different he was. ‘Still, ah can’t trust him without fully understanding who he really is.’

“So what about that in yer right shoulder?” She asked pointing towards the scar that looked like a gash in his right shoulder.

“Yeah, that was when I was about nine years old and got cocky one time,” James replied with a blush. “I found out the hard way not to show off since I got my shirt caught in a fence and my shoulder got punctured, and it hurt like hell.” James said as he reached around and rubbed his right shoulder looking away.

“Why were you at a fence?” She asked in confusion.

“I tried to jump it on a skateboard and got punctured by the wiring of the metal fence.” He followed up rubbing the back of his head. “Yeah it’s not one of my brightest moments.”

“Sure doesn’t sound like it.”

‘Hmm, he seems pretty honest with himself.’ Macerena

“Hey, what about that last one on yer left shoulder?” She asked, pointing towards his left shoulder. James immediately froze up as his face looked like he was struck with fear. Macareina was confused by his reaction and his right arm shot up to cover his left arm and he gripped it as if he was in pain. HIs entire body shuddered from fear as he looked down onto the ground.

“What was that about?” She asked in confusion. “I ask one question and you suddenly freeze on me.”

“That’s… something I don’t want to talk about,” he replied. “That’s more of a painful memory.”

Macarena was confused for a moment but then shrugged it off knowing when to leave something alone, she knew personally what it meant to keep things to herself and dropped it. They sat there for a little while longer as they simply let the quiet serenity of the pond wash over them, to James it was very peaceful and he could see why Macerina liked coming here and it’s a way for her to calm down.

“How about we go back to the farm and see how my brother is doing?”

‘Hmmf hopefully he hasn’t burned down the barn’ She huffed to herself. She and James then sat up stretching while James happened to glance at the scar that ran down his left shoulder as James felt a wave of sadness wash over him whenever he looked at the mark.

‘I wonder what’s with that scar of his?’ She wondered as she looked back at him. She wasn’t sure why she felt sorry for him even after how she treated him and her brother earlier. They continued their walk until they reached the barn.

“I’m surprised that nothing got destroyed yet,” Macareina replied with a sigh and is surprised to see that the only thing that was noticeable was what appeared to be a dragon shaped hole Barb had made the other day.

“Yeah other than the large hole Barb made trying to chase me and Scott,” James replied in a nervous tone. “Where are Scott and Barb anyway?”

“Hopefully doin’ their work and not slacking off or foolin around if ah have anything to say about it,'' She replied with a growl while clenching her fist.

“Why don’t we see if they’re inside then?” James replied as he stepped through the dragon shaped hole and Macareina followed him to see what was going on. The barn looked to be empty and neitherJames nor Macareina could see Barb or Scott.

“Now where the hay is Barb and that simple minded brother of yours?” She stated until the pair heard a loud creak and suddenly a leg burst through the wooden floor.

“Found him.”

“Damn it! Come on!” Scott groaned since his foot got caught again in a floor board.

“Oh come on Scott,” Barb groaned as she stopped what she was doing to try and pick up Scott. “That was three times now.”

“How’s that my fault when the floorboards are all busted up?” Scott groaned struggling to get his leg free from the wood he fell through.

“Glad to see that the barn wasn’t burned down at least,” James replied with a smile getting Scott and Barb’s attention.

“I thought you were working out in the fields?” Barb questioned.

“We’re already finished half an hour ago so we decided to have a short break and then came back here.” James followed up. “Something crazy happened to me when I was working on the field though, I didn’t think I could finish hauling in the vegetables so fast.”

“Seriously?” Scott asked. “What did you do?”

“That’s just it, I don’t know,” James replied. “I just felt faster and stronger for no reason, it was crazy, everything was like moving in slow motion”

“Well at least you're done with the field work” bard said “what’s next on the list?”

“I was thinking about lunch?” James said looking over at Scott

“Sounds good to me what do you want Barb,” Scott said looking over at Bard

“I don't know how about sugarcube corner?” Bard said her stomach grumblumbling and she rubbed the back of her head.

“Okay, but isn’t there just sweets there?” Scott asked.

“Yeah i've been craving sweets for a while” Barb said drooling a bit.

“Y’all still gotta do something about that hole ya made up there,” Applejack said in a dark tone.

“Don’t worry about it,” James replied as he stepped out. “How about I take care of the floor he broke and they go and get something from Sugarcube Corner?”

“I guess that will work,” Applejack says as she folded her arms under her bust. She then turns to Scott and Barb. “y’all don’t mind If ah go with ya now do ya?”

“Course not,” Barb said with a smile.

“Thanks bro,” Scott said with a smile as he and Barb walked towards the door. “We’ll bring you a shake back.”

“Sure,” James followed up as he and Barb left the room. “So you got any spare wood to replace the beam that Scott accidentally broke?”

“It’s in the back,” Macareina followed up pointing to the back of the barn. “Over there by the stacks.”

“No problem,” James followed up as he went over to where Macareina mentioned earlier. He goes to the back of the barn to see the stacks of wood behind the hay bails.

“This looks to be it,” James followed up as he picked up the wooden boards and was about to walk away, but stopped when he saw something slip out from between the boards. “Hmm?” Curious,James picks up the object and finds out it's an old photograph depicting a younger looking Macareina and a stallion he couldn’t recognize.

He was a gray colored pegasus with a silverish mane, he wore a jock outfit as what James called back in high school and consisted of a simple tank top and gym shorts.

“Was this someone she knew?” He pondered to himself as he continued to examine the photo. It looks like it was taken during her teenage years. Unknown to him Macareina saw him holding the photo, curious to what it was she walked up to the man.

“Just what has y'all taking so long, ya better not be slackin off or I’ll…” The second she saw the content of it, her heart froze. A well of emotions swirled inside of her when she saw it, and used every ounce of restraint not to tear the photo out of his hands.

“Where. Did you.Get that?” She growled, her fist clenched in pure anger.

“Oh uh I found it under the floorboards and-.” James tried to explain, but whatever he would try to say only pissed her off more.

“Get. Out.”

“What, it’s just an old photo, and all I did was-!” He didn't’ get to finish what he was going to say when she glared at him.

“I said GET OUT!” She shouted, grabbing him by the scruff of his collar and belt and tossed him outside like he was nothing.

Before James could process anything he landed in a hay bail head first. James, while in the hay bail, he thought to himself ‘What the hell made her act like that?’ as he was struggling to get out of the hay bail. It took him some time, but a moment later he was spitting out straws of hay and brushing it out of his hair.

“Great, not sure what I did to deserve that,” James grumbled to himself, as he heard the sounds of the barn door slamming behind him. “And now she hates me… great…”

Back inside of the barn the mare was panting hard with her back against the now closed barn door, sliding herself down until she was sitting weakly on the floor while hugging herself tight. She looked over at the fallen photograph and unconsciously picked it up. Looking at it, Macareina could feel her hand shake as the tears began to fall.

“Stupid stallions.” she said crumpling the photo in her hand wiping the tear away “ i thought I got rid of him.”

Meanwhile James was brushting the last of the hay off of his clothes after what happened. He felt his face and felt there was some dirt from where he landed. He wasn’t sure what was going on with Macareina now, but it involved something personal. He only wondered what it was. He heard the sounds of hoofsteps behind him and he turned around to find Applejack behind him.

“Howdy James,” Applejack replied with a smile, but stopped when she noticed James' expression and some of the dirt on his face. “What happened to you sugarcube?”

“Hey AJ,” James replied. “Macareina happened. I found a weird photo that was where the boards were, and when she saw me with it, she flipped her lid and tossed me out of the barn yelling “get out.”

“A photo,” Applejack looked at him in confusion. “What kinda photo?”

“I only saw some stallion that she was in a photo with, it didn’t make sense when she got upset with me about it.”

“Maybe y’all went into something you shouldn’t have,” She said in a calm yet angered tone.

“I didn't, that's the thing,” James answered. “I went over to where she asked me to pick up some boards to fix the hole scott made, and the next thing I know I see a photo fall out of the wood pile and I happened to see it that’s it.”

“Now why in the hay would a photo get her so worked up?” Applejack says with a shake of her head. “Ya didn’t snoop in anything personal did ya?”

“I literally just said that it fell out of a woodpile and I picked it up not knowing what it was,” James said with a blunt glare. “Why would I lie about something like that?”

“It’s alright, ah believe ya sugarcube,” Applejack said in defense. “It’s just ah try to get both sides of the story.”

“Okay, I understand,” He said with a sigh.

“Now go on and finish up ya work you were doin” AppleJack says with her hands on her hips

“Would if I could,” James replied with a sigh. “Your sister yelled at me to leave when I picked up the photo.”

“Well she will get like that from time to time when she gets flustered” AppleJack says

“She looked like she wanted to hit me,” He added.

“Ah’ll try and calm her down then,” She said walking towards the barn. “In the meantime, why don’t y’all go and take a breather while I have Barb and Scott cover for everything else here?”

“Oh, thanks,” He said with a smile. “You want me to bring you anything back while I’m out?”

“Nah, I’m good sugarcube,” she says as she walks back to the barn. “Just take it easy, I’ll keep an eye on yer brother to keep him from hurtin himself.”

“Thanks,” He said as he walked away from the farm and Applejack walked toward the barn to check on her sister.

-Ponyville-

‘I wonder what’s going on in Macareina’s head that made her go off like that?’ James thought to himself as he was walking through town. He was enjoying the scenery trying to take his mind off of the events that played out earlier.

During his walk though, his thoughts then turned back to Macareina. He wasn’t sure why, but he couldn’t get her out of her head or why she was so upset over a photo. He knew that he didn’t want to pry into her social life, but he felt it gnawing at the back of his brain.

“Hmmm, maybe I should wait until AJ and her are both in the room. Maybe that’ll be my best bet to talk to both of them about what happened. Judging by how she reacted, it must’ve been pretty bad,” He said to himself as he was walking towards his destination.

He looked up and smiled when Sugarcube corner was in sight. He walked in and saw Pinkie pie standing at the counter leaning over so her breasts were being supported by the polished wood counter.

“Maybe a drink can smooth over my thoughts,” He added as he walked towards the counter. Pinkie smiled seeing his face. “Hey Pinkie.”

“Hiya James,” She said seeing him and leaning upwards, her breasts jiggling from the movement. “How’re you doing today?”

“Was doing okay till I pissed off Macareina earlier,” He said with a sigh. “So AJ sent me here till she calms down.”

“Aw, what’d you do that made her so angry?” She asked.

“That’s just it, I don’t even know,” He said as he leaned on the counter. “I was doing alright helping with work on the farm and the next when I picked up a woodpile, a photo fell on the floor.”

“A photo?”

“Something involving her and a guy she was with,” He added. “Whatever happened she seemed pretty pissed and yelled at me to leave.”

“Hmm, anypony that isn’t happy here, doesn’t make me happy,” She added with a small whimper. “Hopefully she can forgive you though for-”

“Before you add onto that, I wasn’t snooping around,” He said, cutting off the bubbly pink mare. “I didn’t even know the photo was there,”

“Oh, okay,” She said with a smile. “Anyways, what can I do for you?” she asks giggling

“Maybe a chocolate, strawberry milkshake would be nice,” He said. “Put it on my tab for now,” he says rubbing the back of his head.

“No problem,” She said as she dashed away from the counter, leaving James alone for five seconds. After those five seconds, she came back with James’ shake. “Here’ you go,”

“Thanks,” He said as he took the shake. He sits down at the table near the window with a smile on his face humming a little tune as he drinks his shake.

James lets out a burp as he sighs and sits back enjoying the sugary feeling in his stomach and the slight pain in his head. He gets up and sets the glass on the counter with a satisfied smile.

“Thanks’ for the shake Pinkie,” He said to her.

“Glad you like it James,” Pinkie said with a smile.

“I think I will head back to the farm,” He says, stretching outside the door to the sugarcube corner. Looking around, there weren’t many ponies around as they were going about their daily business as usual. James starts to walk down the road and as he makes a turn down the right street to Sweet Apple acres, but he runs into a familiar pegasus stallion that he met before. Literally runs into him as he crashes head first into him without realizing it.

“Ow!”

“Ah, Son of a bitch!”

Both males collided with each other and fell onto the ground and the sounds of cracked eggs and chips hitting the ground followed suit as both males would look at each other.

“Sorry about that,” James replied and he realized who he bumped into. It was the same stallion that he met yesterday. “Wait, it’s you!”

“Why don’t you watch where you’re going?” Jack replied, but then he saw that it was James again. “Oh great not you again!”

“Hey, I said I was sorry,” James replied. “Plus It’s not like I knew you were there.”

“Yeah well thanks to your sorry ass, my groceries waisted all over the ground.” Jack said in annoyance looking at his spilled bag. “You just love getting into other ponies' business don’t you?”

“Hey, I said I was sorry, I didn’t even know you were around the corner,” James replied standing up. “I was trying to get back to Twilight’s place and that was that,”

“Well if you’re done talking, kindly get out of my way so I can buy the groceries your sorry ass made me spill,” Jack said as he got up and picked up the bag that he dropped and walked away from him.

“Sheesh, what crawled up his ass and died?” James said to himself as he stood up and dusted himself off. He would then feel something sticky on his shirt and looked down to see that some of the milk and eggs were now on his shirt. “And now I’m covered in eggs, great.”

He sighed as he turned around. “Hopefully Pinkie has something for me to lean this crap off me.”

James back around the corner walking back into SugarCube Corner. He looks back to see that Pinkie was cleaning the countertop, wiping it down with a washcloth.

“Hey Pinkie, do you have a washcloth I could borrow?” he asks, sighing.

“Sure, what do you need it-! Wow, did you mess up baking a cake or something?” She asked, when she noticed the milk and eggs on his shirt.

“No, I ran into that guy outside that me and Scott met earlier,” James replied with a sigh. “We ran into him at the hospital earlier when Scott got hurt last time.”

“What did he look like?” Pinkie asked as she gave him a washcloth from her mane. James looked at her in confusion.

“Okay, I’m not even gonna ask that,” He said to himself. “Anyways, he was a pegasus who has a hat similar to AJ’s and usually hangs out with this small filly. I don’t know what the hell his problem is, but he doesn’t seem to like to hang out with anyone.”

“You must be talking about Jack Daniels,” Pinkie said with a sigh. “He’s actually pretty friendly if you get to know him.”

“If you call bumping into him by accident and spilling his groceries with him yelling at you as friendly, your world seems pretty weird,” James said with a sigh. “Figured his parents would’ve raised him better.”

“He doesn’t like talking about his parents,” Pinkie brought up, making James look at her in confusion.

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“I don’t know,” Pinkie asked. “Nopony really knows actually. Whenever anypony tries to ask him about it, he gives them a cold stare. But whenever I try to ask, he just walks away from me with sadness in his eyes.”

“So it’s more of a personal thing then?” He asked her.

“Yep, I stopped after that since he felt hurt whenever anyone brought it up,” Pinkie added.

“I guess he and I can relate,” James said, making her look at him funny.

“What do you mean?”

“Sorry Pinkie, I need to go see him,” James replied as he walked towards the door. “I think I can relate to him in this sense.”

“You sure?”

“I’m sure.”

“Then good luck,” She said with a smile. James then leaves the building and Pinkie then has a bit of a worried look on her face. ‘Why do I feel they’re going to start a fight?’

Author's Note

Glad to be back on this story. We get a little bit of inside of how James tries to put the pieces together for Macareina and Jack's anger and hopefully he tries to make things right between them after the misunderstandings that they have.

Chapter 6 (Edited)

“Aw crap, my head,” James groaned as he was rubbing his forehead. The last thing he remembered was going to talk to Jack and everything went black after that. He opened his eyes to find himself in darkness and was confused where he was. He stands up trying to feel around where he was, only to feel several metal bars in front of him. “The hell?”

He waited for his eyes to adjust and he saw that he was in a cell block that had a side bed as well as a toilet and a sink next to it. Who he was with as well and was pissed off to see him was Jack Daniels who was roughed up from earlier.

“Well look who woke up,” Jack said with a growl.

“Wait Jack, what the heck?

“Not really in a mood to talk to you right now after today,”

“Wait, where are we?” James asked.

“We’re in a jail cell flankhole, thanks to you having to go and bug my damn ass,” He groaned as he slumped back into his seat. James then looked down at himself and noticed that he and Jack Daniels both had bruises all over their bodies signaling that they both had a fight. He then looked around the room he was in to find that he was in a cell.

“Wait, why are we-!” He paused as he remembered what happened today that led to them being in this situation.

-30 Minutes ago-

James left Sugarcube Corner and went to go and find Jack to see where he went. He searched around town until he found said stallion walking out of a store holding groceries again after having them spilled earlier.

“Found him,” He said to himself as he . “Hopefully he still isn’t too mad with me about earlier.”

It didn’t take long for the stallion to notice the human approaching, with a sigh he turned to him. With the mess the human caused it was clear that Jack was not in the mood.

“You need something, or did your clumsy ass decide to ruin my day with your presence. Or if you’re too stupid to understand, what the Tartarus do you want you waste of space?” Well clearly Jack was in no mood, that much could be heard with the thick venomous words that he spoke.

“Look I think you and I got off on the wrong foot and I was trying to make amends for what happened, but it would be nice without the insults for a change,” James said. “I wanted to try and introduce myself so can we at least-”

“I’m Jack Daniels, from Trottingham you are a nuisance. Glad we cleared that up, but seriously go play best friend somewhere else.”

“Okay, I’m trying to be nice and you’re just straight up being an asshole,” James said Dully, trying to keep his cool.

“Here’s the thing, when I don’t want anyone in my business wrecking things, and trying to get to know me. I have problems with nosy people, you’re just like every one of those people. Now leave before I decide to punch you in the throat.”

“Look man, I only want to clear things up and not cause a scene, so can you and least try and be civil about-” James didn’t get to finish as the stallion he was talking to made good on his promise. Before he knew it, a fist collided with his face causing him to stagger backwards.

“OW!!” he yelled, as he felt his face for a bit. He looked down to see that blood was drawn.

“I warned you, leave or I do a lot worse.” Jack adds, getting into a fighting stance as he shook his fist a bit from the slight pain.

“Bad move jackass…” James said, spitting out some blood as he entered his own stance.

“Hey I feel much better now, it’s a bit relaxing getting to-” Before he could finish his sentence he didn’t notice the kick to the side of his head fast enough to dodge, rocking him from his feet he kept his balance. Though the pain ringing through his skull was a lot greater. Groaning, he shook his head before chuckling.

“Tried playing nice and you threw the first punch, but I can hit back,” James added.

“Good, now I can claim self defense once I beat your ass bloody.” Wiping away the blood from his face he rushes towards him, managing to take him down before slamming his elbows against his skull, slam after slam before getting off of him and taking his hat off.

“Now you're just asking for it.”

“For fun? I definitely am, come on then fight back ya little shit!” He adds as he gets ready once again. Both males soon began to dook it out as James would throw a flurry of punches to keep up with Jack’s punches. He saw that Jack was pretty fast and did what he could to deliver his own punches that were easily blocked or dodged by James. With each punch Jack delivered to James, another was delivered right back to Jack.

“Fast little shit aren’t you! Fucking pest!” Jack shouts once again, throwing punch after punch, each heavy swing continuing to miss, though occasional grabs from his street fighting constantly slamming his knees against the human’s chest.

“I’m a second degree black belt, you got nothing on me, and I deal with assholes that try to fight dirty on a regular basis,” James added, as he did a low sweep kick to trip up Jack.

“Piss off fucker, I’ve dealt with smart little assholes like you in the past. All this friendship and kindness bullshit, annoying bastard. Just mind your damn business.” He shouts as he breaks from the clutch, looking at his fists noticing small bruises here and there, a smirk never leaving his face. If he was getting this pumped up might as well go all out.

“I’m trying to figure out why you hate everybody when we don’t even do anything to you,” James added, looking at his bruised hands as he had never fought anyone like this before. Jack was strong, but James could tell that he was holding back.

“Because all you assholes are the same, be friendly, act friendly, and then the moment I turn away. You fuckers steal from me. Take food from me and my sister. You are nothing but a Celestia damned parasite!”

“What are you on about?” James asked as hearing this genuinely confused him, and he stopped mid punch. He didn’t even have a chance to react as Jack managed to kick him in the gut hard enough to knock the wind out of him and he fell backwards.

“Just fuck off!” Getting on top of the human, he grabs the human’s head, slamming it down against the ground, each hit becoming harder and harder, as he continues slamming his head against the floor. Though before he could do any more, he couldn’t help but feel slightly woozy noticing the smoke billowing from a small capsule.

James noticed that he was no longer feeling his head slamming on the floor, and looked up to see that Jack was feeling woozy and noticed the smoke from the capsule. He felt himself getting dizzy and both males passed out. Before he could fully fall asleep, he noticed a pair of hooves walking in his direction.

“Honestly, I’m off duty for a day visiting family and I come back to see this,” it was a mares voice and she sounded annoyed as James finally dozed off.

-Now-

“Welp, this sucks,” James said to himself as he was now in a jail cell next to a stallion that probably hated his guts right now. “Not to mention the fact that you almost killed me today.

“Word of advice, when a guy looks pissed at you and wants to knock you on your ass, maybe it’s a good idea to Ya know, leave them alone. Can’t believe this shit, stuck in here with a freak, my sister alone at home wondering where the hell I am.” Jack lets out a sigh, rubbing his temples before removing his hat and fanning himself with it.

“Well excuse me for wanting to try and make amends for earlier, and you were the one that threatened to assault me after that.”

“You’r dumbass wouldn’t leave me alone.”

“Well excuse me for wanting to know why you have an issue with all of my friends,”

“Trust me I have no issues with your friends, hell I don’t even care about them enough to even want to know their names. Besides, it's none of your damn business is it? You want to play best friend, go do it with other stallions around here, besides I doubt you’ll stay long enough to get to know anyone around here.” He shakes his head as he looks away. “The way you and your brother do things, I’m surprised this town hasn’t burned to the ground.”

It was clear that even locked up, they’d have a rocky start to a friendship, if that was even in the cards. Though it seemed like the stallion was somewhat interested in the human, though mostly because of how he fought.

“You aren’t the first person I fought sure as hell ain’t the last, so tell me since we’re stuck in this cell. And we have nothing else to do besides sing Kumbaya together. Where did you learn to throw a punch? Not a lot of freaks can almost knock a Pegasus like me down to his ass. Hell, even earth ponies can’t do what you did.”

“Thanks I guess,” James said with a sigh. “Still I’m pretty puzzled by what you said earlier.”

“Oh that…” Jack added. “Look I don’t hate everyone, I just don’t trust anybody. Imagine taking your younger sibling from an abusive house. And just trying to make money to survive, and get it stolen from some asshole. You learn to distrust everyone.”

“Okay I don’t blame you for not trusting me and Scott right away, but you didn’t have to be an asshole about it,” James followed up.

“You don’t get it do you? I lived on the streets with my little sister for a few years. The moment I act sweet and nice to everyone, I get swindled or mugged. I’m not going to be nice to a stranger who doesn’t leave me the hell alone. She comes first, nobody else.”

“You honestly think I don’t know what that’s like?” James followed up, with a dull stare. “I also grew up on the streets after I was almost killed by my birth mother.”

“Wait, what?”

“She was a victim of rape and every time she looked at me, she only saw her rapist,” James added with a sigh. “I ran away at age six when she stabbed me in the shoulder, and I grew up on the streets for about a year now. I was six when it happened, and when I was seven, Scott and his mom found me. I may not understand your life, but I can somewhat understand your pain.”

“Good, because I can’t be nice to everyone. Even then taking her away from that house, even if we were taken care of. By my family’s wealth, the way they treated her. I gave up my life as a Royal Guard for her, and I won’t let her wind up on the streets again,” He adds as he sighs softly.

“You aren’t a bad guy, but I just can’t trust every stranger who says hello.”

“Point I’m trying to make is that you can’t keep your heart hardened like that,” James added as he sat up from the bed. “You never know that you might hurt someone that’s actually trying to be nice. From what I saw in this town, people can be nice, but you need to warm up in your own way.” James then holds his hand out towards Jack. “I’m not forcing you to change, I’m just asking to give me and my friends a chance. You never know if you come across good friends.”

Jack thought about James' words for a bit and was surprised by what he said. Seeing as he was being genuine, he takes James’ offer and he helps him up.

“Is that a risk I’m willing to take though, everything happens and ponies get run through. I’m not one of those, but I see your point. Especially if it means that Pinkie starts seeing me like an ass.”

“What’s going on there all of a sudden?”

“Look it’s obvious I like her, well more than like. That’s besides the point, the thing is I need to change if that means being nice to you. Well I’ll try, just don’t expect me to be sweet. It’s obvious I’m an asshole, I’ll just be a kind asshole.”

“You know if you try to get a grip on things I might be able to put in a good word for you to her,” James added with a smile. “By the way, you’re really good with your boxing skills man.”

“Well you’re put through boot camp the moment you wanna keep the princess safe. Just some things you pick up, just in case you’re faced with someone built like a damn train.”

“Well I’ve trained in martial arts since Scott’s mom dated a fighting instructor and it was where I picked up most of my techniques, also why do you combine fighting dirty with what you do?” James asked. “You tried to hit me in the nuts a few times.”

“Like I said before, living on the streets. It’s better to fight dirty than fair, if it means I hit someone in the balls, or poke their eyes. Then I’m all for it, besides some ponies don’t fight one on one, sometimes it’s 3 on 1, or even 2 on 1.”

“I’ve had fights like that where I beat up an entire football team once,” James added. “It was after what they did to Scott that set me off.”

“Well that’s you, for me even as a bigger Pegasus. Fighting fair well that won’t happen, ponies aim for my wings I go down hard. It’s better if I knock them down a peg first.”

“I see where you’re getting at,” James added. Before they could say anything else, a pair of hooves was walking in their direction. The lights then turned on and it revealed a mare with a tied orange mane and green eyes and she looked pretty annoyed seeing them. She was an earth pony with a grey coat. She was dressed in some casual attire as it consisted of a light blue blouse and black pants mixed with a black jacket, and had a pair of sunglasses on her blouse. The blouse did show off a generous portion of her cleavage as well.

“Well look who finally woke up,” she said in annoyance. “Hope you boys are happy with your little fight since it earned you some time in the slammer.”

“Um, who are you exactly?”

“The names’ Copper Pot,” she said in annoyance. “Normally I’d leave you here, but you got bailed out by someone who lives here, so consider yourselves lucky.”

“Wait, someone bailed us out?” James asked in confusion.

“Rather somepony bailed you out,” an annoyed female voice called out. Both males turned to see an annoyed Twilight, a disappointed Barb, and James' brother Scott, who looked pretty nervous right now.

“Well, you’re screwed James, do me a favor and tell my little sis to go to Pinkie’s for tonight. This happened before I’ll just wait for the night. They’ll let me go tomorrow morning.” Jack says with a sigh as he removes his hat and places it on his face laying on the bench.

“You’re not getting off easily either,” Twilight added, glaring at Jack Daniels. “Especially since you started the fight that got you both arrested.”

“Whoa whoa, the fight only started after I got a little heated. Besides it was bound to happen, between me and James it was either he got punched by me. Or I was kicked in the ribs by James. So in the long run we avoided a bigger fight in the future.”

“Plus we made up after talking out so it’s no big deal Twilight,” James followed up with a smile.

“Besides, if we weren’t arrested I would’ve won that fight.” Jack gives a chuckle at the joke, of course he was half joking.

“Pfft, you wish,” James added. “So why’d you bail us out?”

“The princesses want to see the both of you, now,” Twilight said with a sigh as she took out a letter that she just received.

‘Dear Princess Twilight,

I’ve been hearing rumors about new creatures roaming around Equestria and I’m not sure if they are a danger or not. If possible, could you allow me to meet them soon?

Princess Celestia.’

“You and your bro are getting popular, wanting to be seen by the princess. That’s a huge opportunity,”

“This is gonna be interesting,” James added with a sigh. “So where is everyone else?”

“They’re already at the train station, and I was on my way to find you both when I was told around town what happened,” Twilight said with a sigh.

“Is it alright if Jack can come along?” James asked.

“That depends if he’s gonna start a fight again,” Twilight said, giving the pegasus stallion a glare.

“Probably, just not with James. So if anything he won’t get punched in the throat, or face, or gut…”

“I’m sorry I asked,” she sighed. “Fine, but if you get in trouble again, I’m not bailing you out this time.”

“Alright,” James added as he and Jack left with Scott, Barb, and Twilight out of the small jailhouse. What was waiting for Jack outside was his rather upset sister.

“Now before you get mad Rose let me just say, you are absolutely adorable.” He tried his best to charm his way out, though with a solid punch to his leg the small filly simply hit her older brother.

“Why do you keep getting in trouble? You know it’s bad when the police station has a cell called Jack’s cell!” Rose says as she chewed out her older brother, the small filly simply looked at her brother with a small pout. With a sigh Jack shook his head, as much as he’d love to joke, the punch was a bit more painful than most hits he’d taken.

“Aww dammit.” Falling to his knee, Rose sighs and gives her brother a kiss on the cheek and a hug.

“Dummy.” She says with a shake of her head, it was the usual cycle between the two.

“I’m sorry alright, it was my fault and I’ll try to be civil, promise.” He says with a hand on his heart as Rose looked at the stallion with a small pouty glare, between Jack and Rose promises were almost never broken. It was best he kept his promises around her after all.

“So how’d you guys make up while you were there?” Scott asked.

“We’ll fill you in when we get on the train,” James replied as they all walked towards the train.

“So where exactly are we going?” Rose asks as she grasps Jack’s hand.

“Something about the princesses, honestly I have no clue Rose. We’re along for the ride, maybe it has to do with those two. Who knows, but hey at least you get to see the princess, not an everyday event after all.” He mentions with a chuckle.

“We get to meet the princesses?” she said with a beaming smile.

“Probably, if anything it’ll be a good couple hours taken meeting them.” Jack adds with a small shrug and nod.

“Your sister sure is an energetic bundle of joy,” James said with a smile.

“Yeah that’s usually how it goes with her, she’s perky if anything. Loud too, but I think it’s because anything that gets her out of here would make her happy.”

“Yeah I guess,” Scott added.

-Train Station-

“Honestly, what the hay is taking them so long,” Applejack said in annoyance as she leaned against the railing of the fence near the Train station. She was with Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

“Considering that Jack Daniels started a fight, it may take time for them to arrive and the train will already be gone by the time that they get here,” Rarity added, as she was powdering her face with a puff palm and mirror. “I don’t understand why James was so fond of him.”

“You don’t think he swings both ways do you?” Rainbow Dash asked while she was looking overhead.

“Ah doubt it, and he doesn’t look the kind to discriminate,” Rarity added.

“I just hope neither of them are hurt after getting into a fight,” Fluttershy added, petting her rabbit on the head.

“Well however they're doing, I’m sure they’ll be cheerful to see the Princesses,” Pinkie added.

“Speak of the devil,” Rainbow Dash said as she spotted James, Scott, Jack, Rose, Twilight and Barb walking in their direction.

“Let’s just hope they don’t get into any more trouble than they already made themselves for now,” Rarity said with a sigh as they waited for the group to arrive. After awhile, Twilight, Barb, Jack, Rose, James and Scott arrive where the girls were waiting for them.

“Hey guys,” James said with a friendly smile.

“So why’s he here?” Rainbow said, gesturing to Jack. “Especially after what happened?”

“It’s cool, we made up,” James added. “He’s trying to get to know everyone better now, just give him a chance okay?”

“I know he can be a bit of a jerk, but he’ll be on his best behavior. He can’t break any of my promises, so I’ll keep an eye on him.” Rose said, trying her best to at least keep things from becoming too hectic.

“What she said, basically I won’t be an ass through this trip. Besides I started another fight, I’ll be spending the night in jail. And the beds there are not the comfiest.” He adds with a shrug as Rose gives her brother a glare.

“So can we get a move on already?” James added. “I’m interested to meet this princess you all think so highly of.”

“Yeah, I don’t want to keep sitting around doing nothing,” Scott added.

“Then let’s hurry up,” Twilight said. “We have an official seal from Princess Celestia, so we won’t need tickets.” she added as she showed the Train Conductor the seal and the group that she was going with. After that, everyone gets on the train car and they all step on. The train makes some preparations before taking off and that was the end of that.

-Train-

“Word travels fast in this town.” Jack mentions as the group were sitting in one of the train cars, of course to Jack it was all noise and he did start the fight. There were some ponies on the train cars staring at the group, as they couldn’t believe their eyes with what they were seeing.

“I guess fighting in public really made the town talk, the perfect storm of gossip and talking behind someone’s back,” Giving a shake of his head, he just shrugged his shoulders. At this point he’d be known as that angry stallion who’d punch anyone who annoyed him. Then again his previous reputation wasn’t the best either.

“That, or they made a bet with that mare we met in town, and something tells me she’s gonna be rich by the time word gets around,” Scott added.

“Well at least I did one good deed today, I made someone rich. And that’s the most important deed anyone could do,” Jack said jokingly.

“Okay then,” James said. “Did everyone doubt that mare or something?”

“Yes, we all did, and here you two are to prove all of us wrong,” Barb mentioned. “So I think by the time this is over, Lyra Heartstrings is going to be one very rich mare by the end of it all.”

“Glad, we didn’t make a bet,” Scott said with a sigh.

“You’ve been staring at me all day since we got on the train,” James said in confusion when he looked up at Rarity who was staring at him.

“Your hairstyle has been bothering me for a while,” she said. “You seem to waste a lot of hair gel in there for the whole punk spiked up look.”

“This isn’t because of hair gel,” James admitted, confusing her.

“Oh please,” she added as she took out a comb and tried to comb his hair down. “You need to be presentable for the princesses, and I doubt that they would appreciate your-” She stopped when she tried to comb into his hair only for it to get stuck. “What the?”

“Okay, you think you can stop now?” James said as he was in pain. Rarity was still trying to pull out the comb but James grunted when feeling the “Seriously, any harder, you’ll pull my hair out.”

“Oh fine,” She pouted as she let go, and James pulled the comb out of his hair.

“You think you woud;ve asked me before you did that?” James said in annoyance. “Plus trying to comb my hair is out of the question since it wouldn’t have helped.”

“What do you mean?” Rarity asked.

“I’m saying that my hair has always been like this,” James admitted, making the girls look at him in confusion as well as Jack and Rose.

“Seriously, and here I thought you couldn’t get any weirder. Guess you prove me wrong,” Jack looked at James’s hair with confusion.

“Hey, it’s not my fault I can’t change how my hair is, I was born this way,” James added in annoyance. “I don’t go judging someone for their hair for no reason and say they're a freak.”

“How about we not focus on that and just focus on the train ride to Canterlot,” Barb said with a sigh.

“She’s right,” James added.

-Some time Later-

"Uh, this is boring. How long is it gonna be until we reach Canterlot?" Scott complained.

"They said for another hour," James exclaimed. He knew Scott hated long train rides. There was one time his brother nearly lost it when a kid kept kicking his chair and later tossed one out of the window. Because of that he and his brother were suspended from trains for the next three years, but for James, he knew he was never going through that again.

"Well since we're on here, we never really got to know you girls." James stated.

"Yeah, what are your dreams?" Scott exclaimed.

"Well mah dream is to keep my family business up an' active," said AppleJack.

"Well my dream is to become a member of the WonderBolts," said Rainbow Dash.

"What's a WonderBolt?" Scott explained. But he was gonna regret that real fast. Rainbow Dash turned to him with a look that would almost make him wet his pants.

"Seriously, you never heard of the greatest flyers in Equestria?" she practically yelled causing a scene onboard the train.

"From another world, remember? We've never even heard of the WonderBolts Rainbow Dash." James explained calming her down. “We don’t know a lot about this world and I would rather not get killed by something we don’t understand.”

"You must feel pretty silly right now Rainbow Dash," said Pinkie, causing Rainbow to blush. At least the commotion died down.

"Well I'll just go to the bathroom." Scott said wanting to get away from her after that outburst.

“I think after this trip you guys are gonna need a rundown on what’s going on in this world,” Jack added with a sigh. “You’re gonna need it,” Jack mentions to James.

“Just a small heads up, a lot of this world is a bit different. Well a lot different from what I can tell, you two seem to get confused a lot,” Jack adds.

“That would be nice,” James added.

“I’m sure I can walk you through some of the things that are considered dangerous when it comes to-” Twilight was cut off when a loud crack was heard.

"Ow my nose!" Scott grimaced. Everyone hurt Scott’s voice and he later came back but was on the floor with a loud thud. “Assholes, what was that for?”

"Scott!!" Barb was the first to go to him.

"Dude, what happened?" James stuttered.

"I don't know. I was just on my way to the bathroom when these two guys blocked my path and one of 'em punched me in the face," Scott finished.

"There's that bastard," said a voice from behind them. When everypony turned around they saw the very same stallions that harassed Nursery Rhymes and Button Mash yesterday.

"Why the hell did you punks punch my brother?" James said with venom in his voice.

"Well thought he was you, you damn bastard. It's payback time for embarrassing us back there," said the first stallion.

"You punks deserved it for harassing that one mare and her son. Not to mention that you kicked him since they wanted to be left alone."

"Shut the buck up. This time, you're dead meat." said the other stallion. He tries to punch Scott again, only for James to grab his fist, twist it and toss him over on the other side.

“You guys are just asking to get on my bad side,” James followed up cracking his knuckles. “And trust me, it’s a side you do not want to be on.”

“You need help James, or can you handle this yourself? After our little fight, I think I need a little light exercise beating the crap out of two scumbags,” Jack asks as he looks at the stallions, as he gets up from his seat.

“Stay out of this top hat, or we’ll-” Before he could finish his sentence, Jack pressed the stallion against the train wall slamming him against it.

“It ain’t nice to diss someone’s fashion, do I need to break your fingers one by one to make you get the message?” Jack asked with a smirk on his face and showed exactly what he wanted to do.

“Get off of me jackass,” With a swift punch to the gut, he let go of the stallion watching him slump on the ground groaning in pain.

“Gladly,” Jack says with a smile as he delivers a swift kick to his head. The stallion clutched the side of his skull in pain and he glared at Jack.

“You’re dead!” he shouted as he was ready to throw a haymaker at Jack who duck’s and jabbed him in his side. Seeing the stallion stumble from the punch, Jack shoved him aside slamming him against the wall as he’d kneed his side before pushing him towards James.

“Shouldn’t we do something?” Fluttershy asked, but Scott got in front of the girls.

“Nah, he’s got this,” Scott followed up. “And it looks like our new friend’s got this as well.”

“Time for you to help here buddy!” Jack shouts as he shakes his hand from the slight pain. James meanwhile looked at the stallion and did a flying drop kick to the face causing him to flip over and fall backwards onto his back.

The stallion was pissed as he tried to sweep at his legs only for him to jump out of the way. The stallion groaned and got up wanting to punch James over and over but he kept dodging his swings.

Too distracted to focus on Jack, Jack came from behind and grabbed the stallion. Pulling him down to the ground Jack would get on top of him. Constantly punch him in the face, each punch harder than the last before he was shoved off from the stallion.

“Damn this is fun, haven’t beaten someone up until my knuckles started hurting in a long time!” Jack says with a smile, he was truly a fighter at heart.

Meanwhile the stallion that James tossed over got pissed and got up ready to brawl. He was annoyed and wanted to spill blood. He saw that his friend was getting bruised up, and he looked around for anything to use. Seeing a nearby broom on the floor, he goes over to pick it up and use it as a weapon. James felt movement behind him the stallion made a swing James ducks and sweeps his legs from underneath.

James followed up by doing a flying dragon kick into the stallion's chest when he tried to stand up. The stallion was pissed and tired to take another swing at James only for him to duck and dodge, using his swings against him, and tossing him behind him.

“You know you’ll have to try harder than that pal,” James taunted.

“Shup you, you bastard,” he yelled standing back up. Meanwhile Jack was dealing with the other stallion, with a swift kick to the stallion’s head he fell to the floor. As Jack grabbed him from behind, keeping him down. With the amount of pain the stallion was in, it was doubtful he’d get up anytime soon.

“Pissed off and embarrassed don’t make for a good combo.” Jack mumbles to himself as he restrains him, leaving James to deal with the other stallion who was just swinging at him and missing each swing frustrating him more and more. James was just toying with him, popping him in the muzzle and poking him in the eyes.

His biggest mistake was when he charged at him and when James made another dodge, the stallion couldn’t slow down as he landed face first into a pole. He clutches his face in pain and James would then end it by jumping up and drop-kicking him in the face, knocking him out.

“Told ya,” he chuckled to himself as he walked over to the girls.

“I guess now we just gotta wait until the train stops, we caused a big enough scene and caused so much damage they’re gonna be gossiping about this. Dammit I haven’t fought like that in awhile.” Jack mumbles trying to move his shoulder a bit though happy he finally had a chance to get all his anger out on someone.

“Guess y’all weren’t just all talk were ya?” Applejack said with a smile on her face. She then turned to Jack. “And where’d y’all learn how to fight like that?”

“That? Well some of it I learned from the streets, the other was what I learned from my time in the Royal guard. They were big on knowing how to handle others, just in case things got rowdy. But Canterlot is filled with rich ponies so I never really had a chance to use any of it. Unless it was for sparring practice with the other guard members.” He mentions as he takes his hat from Rose’s head.

“If y’all were a guard, then what made ya quit?” Macareina asked.

“Look, I'll try to be friendly with everyone and try to be friends, But one thing I need in return is that you don’t ask that that’s something I don’t wanna talk about.” He was a bit grim, though it looked as if he tried his best to not get angry. “Best to leave that story unsaid, for now at least. If you all can do that, then everything will go smoothly.”

“So what’re we gonna do about these losers?” James asked, turning to the two unconscious stallions on the ground.

“I have an idea,” Scott said with a smile on his face.

“What about?” Twilight asked.

“Do you know any spells to remove someone’s clothes?” he asked.

-Some time Later-

Some time later the trains slowed down at the station, and patrons on board the trains all stepped out to go about their daily business. But the sound of an air horn got their attention and they were greeted with a very hilarious sight. The same two stallions that attacked James and Jack were pushed out of their train in their underwear and everyone was laughing at the hilarious sight. Both stallions never felt so humiliated in their lives and they couldn’t even find their clothes.

“Hey fellas,” James said with a smile on his face as he, Scott, Jack, the Mane Six, Barb, and Macareina all watched as the crowd laughed at them. “Guess some folks are enjoying the view down there.”

“Call it karma for punching me in the face earlier,” Scott said with a smirk as he watched the embarrassment. After a while, both stallions literally had to run away covering their crotches leaving everyone laughing.

“Serves them right,” Macareina says as she wipes a tear away from her left eye from laughing so hard.

“Those guys were pathetic, what a bunch of chumps.” Rainbow says hips cocked to one side, her hands crossed under her chest.

“Did you guys see how small they were!” Pinkie says laughing Hysterically holding her gut

“Ah’m guessing those trophies of yers weren’t just for show were they?”

“Course they weren’t,” James replied with a smile. “Like I said, I earned those through hard work.”

“Well it was not bad.” Macareina says with a smile coming over her face. “I could have done better,” she says under her breath looking away.

“If we’re done wasting time, maybe we can go see Princess Celestia like she asked us to earlier?” Twilight said with an impatient tone.

Fluttershy comes out from behind her mane “Y-Yeah we should go.” she says as she holds onto Pinkie’s arm a blush coming across her face.
