Now, let’s get one thing out of the way, clearly, none of this, is an original idea. So let me give the copyrights out first.

Now, you’re probably wondering what this is, this is kind of a fan fiction, of a fan fiction (Fanficception! Wait, I don’t think I got the meme right), actually, it’s more of a spin-off.
Specifically, a spin-off of this
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4420/6-Friends-and-Luck
and this http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5642/6-Friends-and-Luck%3AWonderland
The fan fiction series is about seven teenagers who get turned into ponies by a Russian scientist and live their lives in Equestria, they even team up with the mane six in order to stop villains of the series. There is a lot of action (that action too, yes), MLP:FIM references, MLP:FIM meme references, videogame references, interent meme references, and randomness. Seriously, this series will make you day.
It may remind you of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (Vespi, please don’t take this as an insult, I mean c’mon! They did live their lives in a different world too), it may remind you about pokemon mystery dungeon (1 and 2). To me however, it was quite ironic, this story was actually a lot like a fan fiction I wrote in the 7th grade, that’s the main reason why I liked it.
No, I’m not kidding.
This old story of mine, It was a lot like SFL, except there were no ponies back then.
To put it briefly, the story was about me and my six best friends going to Sonic the Hedgehog’s Angel Island, which had crash landed on earth. We had to team up with the following fictional characters in order to stop the villains of the series:
Sonic and Shadow
Ed Edd and Eddy
The G-force Guinea pigs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bVY\_UspXyc
Purple and Brown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSE4a7GnxRc
Cody Maverick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P2prFnbvBM
And RJ the Racoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE77igZczlI
The villains were
Dr. Eggman
Eddy’s Brother http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnzzC0yiM2o
Speckles the Mole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-cECh2iEJE
Magic Blob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4MRzelx6JU
Tank the Penguin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYzVm\_3EBkw
The Verminator http://www.spike.com/video-clips/4ten3k/over-the-hedge-the-verminator
And Vincent the bear http://hedgecomic.wikia.com/wiki/Vincent
Believe it or not, this was supposed to be a serious series, clearly, it wasn’t, it couldn’t be, and that’s why it bombed. However, it did have a lot of similarities to SFL.
1.) The “Seven Teens going and living in a new world” concept
2.) The “teaming up with fictional characters” concept
3.) Internet References
4.) A scene that would be rather…explicit
5.) Randomness
6.) References to the shows mentioned above
7.) A celebrity being a villain in the series (At one point, I was thinking of having Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, and Robert Pattinson becoming an evil group called “The Bieber League” which the main characters had to fight)
8.) Time Skip
That abomination had ended long ago, I began to stick to non-crossover works from that point forward...wait a minute...
Anyhow, this takes place two months after “Six Friends and Luck: Wonderland”, which is the sequel to “Six Friends and Luck”, this is actually my first fan fiction on here, so feel free to point out any mistakes, say any critiques, et cetera, I would gladly appreciate it! :D
And I hope you like it too Vespi. :D

VK and Vespi: Preventing the Cure
I was born into a world, a dimension, if you may, where violence would solve all problems. I was made to solve those problems. I was an ordinary human at birth, with an artificial condition injected inside me, in an order to what they saw as “unique”. My name is Verandernden Korper, but I am usually known as Project V.K. for short. I escaped the facility of which I was experimented on in an order to know more about my origins. Man, I don’t swear much, but I really fucked up. The government decided to come after me, pretty soon I was seen as a threat to the nation. Now they are going about all means in an order to stop me. This was one of their most efficient attempts yet…
…with unexpected outcomes…
“Commander! He’s breaching the city!”
“Don’t that little fucker ain’t goin’ nowhere!”
“What do you mean?”
“We have him this time.”
The city was evacuated, they went all up against me, a portion of the forces had been sent specifically for me. I was actually on the run.
“There he is!”
“Fire! Fire!”
I was running, I turned to the corner of a building, then I went down a curved street in an order to escape them. The streets were fenced, all blocked by the military. I saw two men walking by, turning my finger into a blade, I slit their throats as fast as I could, with them fainting instantly, now heading into the afterlife.
What did I just do you ask? This was what they thought would make me “unique”. I was injected with a condition; as I said before, a condition where I could turn my systems as weapons, try to figure out that out. I will give you a few hints.
I was now sprinting through the empty streets, looking up to see the sky, cloudy, smoggy, grey, heck, I thought it was going to rain any moment, but in this part of the continent it’s actually very humid, no rain ever occurs.
Anyhow, about me, I’m actually thirteen years old, about 5’6 ½ , estimated to be 138 pounds, my right eye is colored blue, the other is red. My appearance also shows to have short white hair with bangs. However, the most outstanding feature of my appearance is a set of bandages placed onto my right side, I am stating them because they have been there since I was an infant. These bandages we’re a side-project by the same government in an order to suppress- well, I think I have said enough.
It’s pretty sad when just a thirteen year old male human being has had the military after you; then again, I’m not just a thirteen year old male human being. While I was talking to you about me, I was actually climbing into an abandoned building, hoping to lose the forces chasing me. I am now on the top of this building, just watching everyone looking for me, wanting to shoot me down. I had to be careful; the building didn’t have a fence or any kind of border. One move and it would be fatal.
As I stared down onto the people after me, I began to think to myself. I never intended to hurt anyone, back then, when the first weapon came toward me, I was only trying to defend myself. Yet they prohibited me into knowing anything toward my origins, and then this struck out.
…I heard something…
There was an object in the sky, it was very far away, I only saw the light that was reflected onto it.
It was a Jet, and it was coming my way. When it came, I wished that it only fired bullets, because something worse was coming its way. The vehicle flew by, and above me I saw something, no, someone, jump off of it. The entity came down about thirty feet above; this could not have been a normal being, no human could have gone through such a jump without damage…the smoke cleared, and my thoughts came together.
This was not a normal human…
Before I could see what was before me, I was pushed off the building, I was now actually falling to the ground, it would soon be over, unless if I thought of something.
Hint #1
I turned my arm into a blade, both of them actually, and made myself cut into the bricks of the building, as I was falling down; the forces of my arms scraping into the brick slowed me down. I looked down, above me; smoke began to create by itself as I kept evading. Very soon, it wasn’t before long until I made it back to the bottom.
Hint #2
I stood there, as the smoke I made began to clear, I already heard “There he is, shoot him!” being the first sound made at my landing. Just then, I had a shield made by me surround myself come out of my body. The bullets of every handgun, machine gun, and whatever firearm shoots bullets of which the soldiers had were hopelessly blocked.
Hint #3
“Hold your fire!”
The air finally cleared…
“I keep telling you all to leave me alone! Why do you continue?”
“Don’t listen to him, he’s nothing but a demon spawn from the afterlife!”
“I’m…sorry…”
I shot volts at everyone in front of me; the lightning hit each man one by one, killing them in an instant.
I kneeled down, and began to cry again, I warned them, I have been warning people, yet how do they see me? A monster, a demon, an evil entity? They injected me with a condition, they wanted me to kill, because they believe that is the only way to bring justice in the world, but I’ve always objected. From the hints that I have told you, I have been injected with a condition; as I said before, a condition where I could turn my systems as weapons. Therefore, I am able to make blades from my muscular system, create hammers and shield from my skeletal system, and shoot lightning from my nervous system. They wanted to make me into a killing weapon, but I was not born that way.
“Stop your crying you little bitch, it’s time you met your end.”
Who was that?
I removed the substance from my eyes, seeing a human-like figure. He was in the appearance of a young thirteen-year-old boy, he was about my height, with black hair, streaks of red onto them. He seemed to have looked like me, but unlike me, he didn’t have bandages, instead, he carried an intimidating red glow around his body.
It was the figure from before…
“I was made for one purpose, and one purpose only, killing you, let’s get this over with, faggot.”
He struck his arm to his left side; his hand had five red glowing knives sticking out of his fingers, just who was this being? Just then, he tired to strike me, but I wasn’t going to let that happen. I let my entire right arm turn into a blade, with the other converting into a shield.
We began to duel, he made the first move by trying to strike at my torso, I raised my defense and blocked it at the minute I saw the blades direction. I counterattacked by diving onto him using my right arm, but this was shielded as well. He struck again, this time he went around me in an order to offence, but I wasn’t that dumb. I noticed him trying to turn counter-clockwise against me, and I evaded his attempt. He jumped at me with his knives, which I defended myself against the second time.
“Who are you?!”
“Like I said, my only purpose is killing you, it’s not like I’m going to answer any of your questions.”
“Fine, if that’s the way you want it”
I pressed against his attack, pushing him over; the unknown individual almost fell to the ground. I could not let him kill me, I did not care who he was. With him off guard, I took my arm, and sliced at his torso. There, he was bleeding, and with the pouring out of his body, he collapsed to the ground. I looked, I check to see if he was still alive, which I doubted. However, something seemed very different about this individual. He was able to create weapons like me, and what was with the glow around his body? Before I could kneel down and check, I heard the commander’s voice.
“Fuck! I thought for joy that would have worked”
Who, or what, was that?
“No matter, time for plan B”
What?
Behind him was…a large…crate. What was he doing?
“It’s official, we can’t kill you, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get rid of you.”
…What…did he mean?
The crate opened, all four thick walls of wood fell down onto the ground, and I saw before me, the invention would change my course…
…out of this plane…
“We don’t want you alive, Verandernden Korper, but at least we won’t have to see you again!”
The crates revealed a giant metal contraption which looked basically looked like a giant satellite dish with giant metal bars going to the center of it. It was being supported by giant rectangle-like structures that you would find for computing grids. It became clear to me at the time…I was going to another dimension.
I was startled, I didn’t know what to do, I began to run, and as I did, I saw the commander press a button on the remote, attached to the machine.
“You’re another world’s problem now…”
After him saying this, his final words, the leader had passed away on the ground.
A flash had came out of the center of the machine, I don’t know why, but I was watching, then I realized I had to get out of there, so I could resume my time in this dimension, because I did not know what to expect.
But it was too late, the once-weak flash had turned into a sucking void, starting to produce its own gravitational orbit, it began to devour me whole. I turned both of my arms into blades and stabbed into the ground, in an effort to remain in the same universe. But eventually the void went into its final phase, because I was now being pulled out of the ground.
I actually went into the void, no doubt about it. I now was going into a new reality of which no person would know me, none of my history, no knowledge of where I came from. I would probably be entrance a place where things would be twice as bad. Probably, in relation to this new dimension, the one I once lived in would be nothing.
…or maybe…I only needed to change my thoughts...

.
I couldn’t see shit.
Sorry about that. My eyelids were closed tight, they were so heavy as if they glued to the lids. Not only this, but I could barely move myself at all. Eventually, I did manage to open my eyes, but everything in front of me was blurry, as if I had became blind, unable to see again. I got up anyhow, walking through as my vision began to clear. I can’t remember much of anything, where was I?
It was cold around me, it felt as if it were night, because the solid colors I were able to see were very dark, despite the lack of vision. The air was fresh; it became clear to me that I was also outside as well. I was walking on the ground, there was grass on it. Although I was walking, for some reason I couldn’t feel my toes. I could not feel my fingers either; it was as if neither pair of digits ever existed. Was I still, myself?
My vision began to clear more, now I was able to see dark brown figures with vaguely lighter green masses on top above all that was a mix of indigo and purple. I think I was in a forest. I began to look at the ground, the grass was green, and in front of that had lead to a giant light blue patch. Could that be…a lake? I hoped to the skies that it was, because if this was grass, and those were trees, I hoped this was still water.
I took my steps slowly to the source, and began to kneel down when I got there. I placed my hands in the lake; I still couldn’t feel my fingers. However I still took some of the water and threw it at my face. I looked back at the sky, and was able to see it more clearly, thank goodness. I took was about to take more water, and saw something unusual in the distortions. Something was off , I looked with more precision as the distortions had stopped. What I saw was a figure that had white hair and bandages such as myself, even with the right eye being blue and the right eye being red. But, what was different was that it had the face of a horse of fifty-eight inches, a pony.
I was hallucinating; I mean c’mon, at this point, I really would believe anything right now, but this, what the hell was this? I took larger amounts of water and tired to wash my face to the point that I was splashing it. Some of the water fell onto the ground behind me. I tried to clear my eyes, touching them with my hands, but even as I placed them onto my face, I still couldn’t feel my fingers.
I opened my eyes slightly, and decided to pay attention to my forearms for once. I saw arms, but I saw hands, with no fingers…they were hooves, hooves, of a pony. In an order to settle this hallucination idea, I looked into the lake for the second time. The figure that I saw before wasn’t any different.
I now felt as if I entered the negative area of the astral plane, I think I had died or something on the way to the other dimension. Last thing I remember was being sucked in into the vortex, and thus I arrived here, right? I couldn’t have died on the way to the other dimension, but how did I get turned into a pony? Am I even a pony? Nothing made sense to me anymore.
I felt as if my heart stopped, I mean faster than an atto second, my heart had stopped. Not only this, but I just froze, my head became cold within myself, and my mind was blank. Except for the thought that I was somewhere else, away from the dimension I was from, in a pony’s body.
Without hesitation, I let out all my emotions out in one, simple, scream…
I don’t care that I probably woke anything up, that yell was something that needed to be done. I had to say now that I was relieved. This was the second most shocking time in my life, with the first time being my first encounter running from the military, something that had happened six months ago. When you are filled with this much overwhelming, there really isn’t anything you can do.
Then I heard something, it may have been in my head, but I heard rustling in the bushes behind me. With a low pace, I turned myself. I was correct, the bushes were moving. I then saw three dark figures jump out of them. I couldn’t see them clearly, but they appeared to have walked on all fours. They appeared to be wild canines, specifically wolves, knowing this, I went into defense.
But something was wrong, my body was too weak in order to attack, I couldn’t conjure anything no weapons or lightning. At this point I did the only thing that I could, I ran. There was a wide pavement that I chose to follow, even though I was now a pony, I still ran on two legs like I used to.
I was about fifty feet away from the wolves by now. About ten feet later, I looked behind, and saw that they found my presence. As I still ran down the path, they were already catching up to me. I was still running, and they were thirty feet away from me, now it was twenty five, twenty three. The path became narrow, now about eight feet in width. As for my distance with me being away from the wolves, it was fifteen, thirteen, and ten. At this point, I needed a miracle, if I had escaped death, there still had to be a way to escape it again. Now it was eight, five. I then thought of something, I could not believe of thinking about it, but then maybe it would help me live for a few more seconds, no, maybe even save my life. It involved running on all fours, the extra push should be able to outrun them.
I could not believe this, but that’s the option I went with. The push had actually given me three feet away from the animals, and then it was two more. I looked back; I could not believe that amount alone, pretty soon I was now thirteen feet away from them, fifteen feet away from them. Running on all fours in this new form, I was actually faster. Twenty three, twenty eight, thirty five, even longer than the distance I had when they started chasing after me.
I was actually outrunning them, I couldn’t believe it, and nothing would stop me now. Then I saw the moonlight shining at the end of the forest pavement. I raced towards it, finding the entrance back to the path of being alive.
I was wrong…
Although I escaped the un-viewable creatures which I assumed were of a canine breed, I jumped off the path that had led me fifteen feet above a river. With the forces around me being clear, I fell into it. This one jump had taken out all my energy, making me collapse into unconsciousness once again.
It had been two months since me and my friends had saved Equestria, again. Everything was calm and quiet now. After everything that had happened, Rarity was two months pregnant and I was soon to be a father. I got out of bed, where I saw my wife asleep; to think we met over a beat up knapsack. Once again my friends parted their ways, back to their occupations and duties. As for me, I went into being a royal guard, as did my friend Tyler. I thought I could go for a good walk; I began to head down the stairs.
While walking, I saw several picture frames featuring photos of me and my friends in our adventures. One being the time where we attended Pinkie Pie’s first party, another time with us at the Gala, and of course, the time when with us being at Princess Celestia’s throne, being given our medals for saving every pony. With another look at the events and achievements, I headed out of the door.
It was about three in the morning, despite how different Equestria was from where we came from; time still acted the same way. Once again, I began to look back at those days, those days, we were not ponies living in equestria; we were regular teenagers living in New Jersey, United States, Earth. None of these places would be familiar with any pony.
Here, we were important, we were each some pony; Me, Tyler, Nico, Conor, Dan, Mike, and Ayan. When we existed in our originating dimension, it was hard for anyone to stick out. In an attempt to look for Nico’s dog Ojay, we came across paths with the man who changed our lives, Boris. Boris was an unusual man, a Russian Scientist. His experiment was basically the reason why we took residence here. This experiment basically turned us into ponies and transported us here.
In our first month of living here, each and every one of us would always be freaking out, especially Conor. However in that month, we met the mane six, a group of ponies who were like the heroines of Equestria, we worked together with them in an order to stop evil in the land. This is how we first became recognized here. I also met Rarity within the first month I was here; it seemed that we were perfect for each other because frankly, we went into our relationship pretty fast.
Boris said that it would take about a year to turn us back to normal. It had taken about eighteen months for the protocol to be finished. Within those months, my friend Tyler obtained jobs as guards, my friend Conor got a job as a baker working with Pinkie Pie, Dan joined the Wonder Bolts, and Mike began dating Vinyl and became a Disk Jockey. Nico had been married to Princess Luna (Still am surprised that she accepted) and became the head of the guard, Ayan had become and agent working for the Princess. As for me, the time skip had passed, and I proposed to Rarity. After all that, we decided that this is where we would live from now on. Eight months later from that point forward is now where you find me going down memory lane.
I was looking outside of Ponyville now, something still would bother me though, it has always been a thought since my first month, but now it finally begun to get to me. I wondered if-
“The hell is that?”
I was now looking at the river on the ponyville border, in the highlights of the river, I thought that I saw…a figure, a figure that was riding along the current. I blinked, and then I looked again, something, or some pony, was being moved across the river!
“Holy shit!”
I ran toward the border, I went onto the bridge to get a closer look. How far was he? I looked for an emergency floatation device, there had to be one somewhere. I saw a container that had one inside for such an emergency. I kicked the glass and took the floatation device inside.
I headed back to the side of the river.
“Don’t worry man, you’re gonna be fine!”
VK and Vespi: Preventing the Cure
Vespi Residence - Morning
…
..
.
It was black once again, I couldn’t see anything. All of a sudden, what I was able to see became brighter. It started out as a shade of solid orange, it began to fade to white. Eventually, the bright light opened my eyes, and it was clear to me now that it was morning.
Morning!? Wait, when did it become morning? When I was awake last time, there was the night sky. I began to think to myself, when I was awake last time, I was being chased by wolves, or creatures that I thought had been wolves. I ran into a river, and I couldn’t remember much after that.
When I opened my eyes after thinking, I began to acknowledge the surroundings I was in. It appeared that I was in bed, there was nothing around it, clearly this was a guest room, and more clearly, someone had brought me here. I remember falling into the river, and a few seconds later, I must have fallen into unconsciousness. To be here from that point must lead to one thing, not only was I brought, I was saved. But whoever did, seem to have done a job of half-effort, because my stomach was aching terribly.
This added another question to my list, first of all, where was I? Second, why and how did I get turned into a pony? Third, who went out of their way to save me? Actually, the third question wasn’t really important, if there was a person drowning in the river, then anyone who was there at the moment would just go and save that person. Still, I ought to give my thanks.
But since I was in bed, I thought I would just go back to sleep, it’s been a long night.
…
..
.
“Sweetie! Are you okay!?”
I had woken up, looking at the clock; it appeared to me that I didn’t get that much extra sleep.
“My husband had found you unconscious; we thought that you were dead!”
Who was this?
“Please say something; I want to make sure that you’re okay!”
“I’m fine, where am I? What is your name?”
“Oh good, you’re okay. This is my husband’s house; he had found you in the river last night and brought you to one of our guest rooms!”
“I see, thank you very much, what is your name?”
I studied her appearance closely; she was a pony such as me. Except first of all, she was female; she had a white coat, purple mane, and purple tail which seemed to have been curled giving a spring-look to it. The one feature she had that stuck out of everything was three diamond marks on her flank.
“Oh I am sorry, my name is Rarity, although you don’t have thank me, my husband was the one who went out of his way to escort you here.”
“I see, it seems I will have to thank him”
“What is your name?”
In that bleak moment, I thought to myself. I just remembered when back where I used to walk, the mere mention of my name would bring about people causing violence. I had felt scared, but why? Was I that paranoid now? Something bad would happen from the mention of my title? Nevertheless, I stated.
“Verandernden, Verandernden Korper”
“Oh what a lovely name, are you from here?”
“No ma’am, I am…umm…traveling, yes. I’m from very far from here. As you can see, there has been a bit of trouble with my recent travel.”
“Really? Well Verandernden, you can stay as long as you like, ever since Augustus moved out no one uses this old room anymore.”
“Please, call me VK, and you really don’t have to. Who’s Augustus?”
“One of my husband’s friends, him and the others had moved out long ago, they are taking care of themselves now.”
“Hmm, I see”
I looked out the window; I saw rows of buildings outside with a large chapel in the center.
“May I ask, what the name of the town or city of which your residence is?”
“Why, this is Pony Ville, originally founded by earth ponies, this town has been around since Applejacks grandmother was a young mare.”
“Earth Ponies? Why are they called earth ponies?”
“Oh I’m sorry, you really must be new here, are you even anywhere from Equestria?”
“Equestria?”
“Oh dear, when you said you were traveling from very far, you really meant it. Well, let me try to explain.”
I gave a loud yawn, despite being able to listen to Rarity this entire time, I was actually still very tired.
“Oh, I’m sorry about that.”
“No I understand, you probably need more rest. Take as much time as you need. As for me, I have work that needs to be done.”
“Really?” I began getting back into bed. “What’s your occupation?”
“Why, I am Pony Ville’s Fashion Designer and Seamstress, I have been for quite some time now.”
“Well, best of lu…” I fell asleep.
“Thank you.”
I closed the door, even though VK couldn’t finish his sentence from exhaustion, I still was able to make out what he was going to say. Clearly it was “Best of Luck” which he was going to imply. It was obvious because I’ve always had that towards me, from my parents, then Sweetie Belle, then Twilight, Flutter Shy, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, then Augustus, MD, Royal Royce, Neon, Courageous C, Ayan, and of course, my husband Vespi.
There were others of course who would wish me so from time to time, and then I thought to myself, would this be another person who would be included in the first list? It was not every day that some pony would arrive here along a river. I think something happened, maybe not just some accident.
But who was I to judge? I walked out of the door and headed on my way to the old Boutique. My husband Vespi was probably still working his duties as a Royal guard. I did wonder when he would be back soon.

Author's Note:
The longest chapter yet! DX
It took me a while, I hope that you all like it!
End Note
I woke up for the second time, this time I was finally ready for the day. I got off the bed and walked on four legs for the second time out of the guest room. I went on through the second floor hall of the Residence on the way to the staircase. When I made it down, it seemed that I was now in the front room, because the outside was a few yards from me. As I approached the exit, I noticed a few picture frames on the wall. One of them had caught my attention.
Rarity was in one of them, she wore a very large dress with a diamond ring around her hoof. Next to her was a green pony with a black mane wearing a tuxedo. They were at a chapel, thus it was not hard for me to figure it out, this event must have been a wedding. That green pony next to Rarity must be her husband…what was his name again? There were also two ponies to the left of them, one of them was female with a pink coat, blue eyes, with a purple mane and tail. The other supported a white coat, blue eyes, with a brown mane, tail, and mustache. Were these the parents of Rarity? If so, where were the parents of the husband?
Each one of these frames had the same green pony in them. The biggest frame with him in it was a group picture, it stuck out. In it was the green pony, with six others. One had a sky blue coat with a mane and tail of black, red, and orange, he also had wings; one had a black mane with a yellow coat and hazel eyes; one had a dark blue coat with a blonde mane and tail, he too had wings; one had a white coat, orange mane and tail, and a horn sticking out of his head; one had a tan coat, with a black mane and tail; and lastly, one had a brown coat with a blonde mane and tail.
I looked at my side, there was a mirror, a very larger mirror. I looked and it seemed that I really have taken a new appearance. Clearer than the vision I viewed at the lake, I still had my white hair and bangs, red and blue eyes, and bandages. What was new about me was that I was a pony, a pony with a light grey coat, and there was a symbol near my umm…lower area. It looked like a circle with three lines joining in the center, I have never seen anything like it, what did it mean?
In fact each one of the ponies in the picture had symbols nearing their ends. The green pony had a V on him, did it stand for anything? There was also a Basketball, Raven, Silver Star, Brownie, and some sort of rectangular shape bearing red and white stripes. I could not see the symbol of one of the ponies because this peculiar one wore armor, this armor looked a lot like the one of which the military soldiers wore when I would be chased.
So who were these peo- err, Ponies?
…
..
.
Wait, why do I care? I was probably paranoid again, did I think they would become enemies of mine or something?
With that I walked out the door, after opening it of course, not hard even as a pony. It was very bright out; in fact I could not see anything because it was like ten hours since I had been any under real sunlight.
There I was, outside in Pony Ville, as Rarity named it, I saw several of the residents walking around doing their business. Some were actually staring at me, I think it was the bandages that got their attention, I remember when they first got mine.
Now it became clear to me again, I needed answers. Why was I a pony, why did I have this symbol, what is this symbol? Could I even go back to my dimension again? I clearly did not want to live here, because I don’t belong here. It is not meant for anyone to cross dimensions, it is forbidden. It was not a surprise that those humans, those demons, would have created a machine into doing so.
Well, with all of those thoughts been reviewed, I decided to go back into sightseeing my current location.
I got to see a close up of the chapel I saw yesterday, it was actually a lot bigger than it seemed, not just a chapel, it was a building. The majority of the houses around me had been constructed out of wood with roofs that looked constructed out of hay. The most unusual building was this one residence carved out of this giant tree; I would never have seen architecture like this in the old dimension. It was not as if I had gone into a different dimension, but traveled in time…is that even possible?
“VK!”
“Hm?”
“VK! Over here!”
It was Rarity, she was with two of her friends, they had finished eating at what appeared to be some sort of pony-villish (not a real word, I know) restaurant. I walked toward them
“Rarity, good morning!”
“VK, good morning, how was your nap?”
“I was very good, I needed it, especially with what I have been going through”
“Well I am sure that it’s all over now, VK, I would like you two meet two of my good friends. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy”
“HI VK! I’m Pinkie Pie, but you already know that, Rarity said so. I mean it is rather nice for her to introduce me to you for me, but then again, why am I stating what has already been stated? Isn’t it weird when you state something twice?”
Pinkie Pie had blue eyes, bearing a pink coat with a very curly darker pink mane and tail, her birthmark (Maybe that is what it is) were three balloons.
“Hello, it is very nice to meet you”
I shook hands, well, hooves with her.
I went to approach the other mare.
“Hello there”
The other mare just screamed.
“I’m sorry, are you okay?”
“No, I’m fine; you only startled me for a second.”
“My appearance is different from the others I know, but you don’t have to be afraid.”
“Then you must be…”
“Fluttershy”
I could not hear her
“I beg your pardon?”
“Fluttershy”
She spoke louder
“Well it’s very nice to meet you.”
I shook hooves with her as well.
“So VK”
Pinkie Spoke
“Hm?”
“When I heard that there was a new pony in town, I would normally begin setting up a party for that newcomer right away, but then I thought it would be awkward to just set a party up without even meeting the mare or stallion, but now look, were here, meeting! With that done, I have to get going to set up the party!”
“P-party?”
“Party!”
“But why?”
“You may have to excuse Pinkie Pie for a moment dear, she always is willing to give parties for any occasion.”
“Oh, I see, but you really don’t have to”
“No can do, to me there has never been such a thing as no party to no new person, it is something I must do, or else that no one is happy! And that is what everyone should be, happy!”
“Well, I don’t think I can stop you then, if you insist, go right at it”
“Yay!”
The Pink Mare bounced away to begin setting up a festivity that I did not deserve. Why me? I knew what a party was, I remember in the facility. I was taught a week about being social, one of the facts I remembered was that children, teenagers, and adults would sometimes set up these kind of special events, usually for holidays and celebrations for human beings. But I was not a human being, I was a murderer, a murderer who only did what was done because it was the law. Back there, there was only justice, they thought that just killing the people was the only way, I was against that. When I refused that one time…no, I don’t want to remember. But this, what was this, one individual was willing to throw a celebration for me, only because I existed. This dimension was truly different, but if imagine if they knew what my actions were in the past. No, why am I even thinking about that!? There was something I wanted to say that I haven’t said in weeks.
“Pinkie Pie!”
“Hm?”
Ugh, what was it again? Come on Verandernden, think!
“Umm…Thank You?”
“You’re welcome! Have a great day VK!”
“Uhh, you too”
She continued bouncing away until she became invisible from the naked eye.
“Yes, what a nice mare, always throwing parties; she has been doing so as long as I could remember”
“Rarity, I have to go feed Angel, ill see you later”
“Have a good day darling”
She flew by me
“Bye VK”
“See you Fluttershy.”
I saw the Pegasus fly away going toward her destination. I then noticed something peculiar, it seemed that she smiled back at me. Odd, I did not even think that she heard me.
“Yup, good friends of mine, been there as long as I could remember, VK, tell me more about yourself. Where are you from?”
Oh shoot, I did not even think about that, I couldn’t tell her where I was actually from. Wait, what am I going to do? Well, I could always make something up, but what? Let me think, what was the name of the city I was in? Zeljeznicki, Zeljeznicki City, that was it, but were there even cities in this dimension? They never mentioned any cities, hmm, I got it!
“Zeljeznikio”
“Zeljeznikio? Where is that?”
“Yes, no pony has ever heard of it, it was terrible, the mayor of that town I lived in over there never did anything to help. There was a lot of violence, murders, to be honest, I am a runaway. In fact, I was exploring this entire time in order to find a new civilization, does that make sense?”
“Yes I understand, though never in my life have I heard of this land”
“Yes, it’s very far, you wouldn’t even want to go there.”
“Well why would I? I’m already so happy here with my friends and husband, there wouldn’t be a reason for me to go out of Equestria!”
“How long have you known your friends? Also, tell me more about this Equestria.”
“Oh dear, where do I even begin?”
I finally had obtained an idea of where I was now. For the past thirty minutes Rarity was talking about well, everything, first she started off talking about how she got her cutie mark.
“What is that?”
“You don’t know what a cutie mark is? It’s the symbol on your flank”
“Oh this! In Zeljeznikio, we used to call these Pony Symbols.”
She did not suspect a thing.
She said that she got her cutie mark when she discovered that being a fashion designer was what she was best at. She said that she could not have done it without Rainbow Dash, who’s ability of the sonic rain boom had given her the materials needed to make costumes for a school play. This led to the time when she and her friends first met in pony Ville. Eventually they learned that they each held the elements of harmony, which they had used to destroy and evil entity named Nightmare Moon, who planned in eternal darkness.
“What do you mean by “Eternal Darkness”?”
“Well, specifically, she wanted it to be night time forever.”
“Hmm…”
She then started talking about the further adventures they had together. Such as the Winter Wrap Up, the Iron Pony Competition, the Best Young Flyers competition, and of course, the Grand Galloping Gala. I said of course because I never would have guessed that a quiet pony such as Fluttershy would have outraged like that. I would have felt sorry for her if I was there; I knew what it was like to be rejected.
Pretty soon she brought up the topic of how she and her friends saved Equestria for the second time. Apparently she and the others had to use the elements of harmony this time to stop an evil Draconequus known as Discord. She and her friends were manipulated into acting the opposite of the way they were. She did not even want to mention how he made her act. Eventually she and her friends had defeated Discord by using the elements once again. Finally, she began talking about the adventures after that, such as Nightmare Night, Hearth’s Warming Eve, the time when every Pegasi formed a giant tornado, and then…
“And then I met my husband for the first time-“
“Hey you two.”
We both were interrupted by one of the waiters of the restaurant.
“Are you two done here
“Oh I am terribly sorry, yes I have paid the bill and everything.”
“Well I am sorry, but you two must leave, this is not an area for chatting, other guests may arrive soon”
“No it’s alright”
I said
“Really, we did not mean to cause any controversy.”
Then we both walked out of the restaurant, we started to talk again.
“It actually took a long while for the waiter to notice how long we were talking.”
“I know, they probably get a lot of customers there, they may need more employees”
“Quite, anyhow VK, I have to get back to my Boutique. There is still a lot of work to be done.”
“I can’t argue with that.”
“I was just taking a break eating while talking with my friends, and you of course”
“Well I think I will keep looking around town, I wish you the best of luck on your work.”
“Thank you.”
With that, she moved off toward a large building, it had to have at least three or five floors. It consisted of purple and yellow colors with several windows placed on it. With a building of that proportion, she must have had a lot of work to do in there. With all of the years she has been working in there, it must be packed with all of her previous work she needs the extra space that the building has to offer. Hopefully it’s not packed.
I went to walk off, thinking to myself once again. I could not believe all the adventures that Rarity and her friends have gone through. By the look Rarity had on her face before we were escorted, it looked as if she wasn’t halfway finished with the adventures she had.
So far I knew that Equestria was a land founded by Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasus, it was a marked land. This land is ruled by two princesses known as Celestia and Luna; they were here before anyone else. I would be considered to be what is called an “Earth Pony”, a pony without a horn or wings. If I recall, Rarity had a horn, and Fluttershy had wings. At least now I know the main idea of this place, and the events afterward. But I still had questions running around in my mind. How did I get turned into a pony, and what does my cutie mark mean? Is it even possible to turn back to normal, go back to my dimension? This entire time I was looking at the clouds.
“Hello there, is something wrong?”
“I’m sorry, I had something on my mind.”
“Oh well I didn’t mean to interrupt your thinking. Good morning, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and the reason why I say that is because you seem to be new here.”
“Good morning. I am yes, I’m getting that a lot today. Wait, did you say your name was Twilight Sparkle?”
“Why yes, have you heard of me?”
“Well, I know your friend Rarity, I’m sorry, my name is Verandernden Korper, but you can call me VK.”
“Pleasure to make your acquaintance VK.”
So this was one of the other mares that Rarity was talking about. Twilight held with her a lavender coat with purple eyes, her mane was black with dark and light purple stripes. Her cutie mark looked like a bunch of stars, a sparkle? Lastly, she was also a unicorn, most likely a magic user. I then heard a yawn coming from behind her.
“Huh?”
“Ahh, that was a good nap.”
“Did you hear that?”
Twilight moved to her side, revealing what appeared to be a baby dragon on her back. It had purple scales, a green torso, and dark green eyes.
“I needed that nap, huh? Hey Twilight, who is this?
“Oh I’m sorry, VK, I would like you to meet Spike, he is my assistant and very well known friend”
“A baby dragon?”
“That’s me.”
“Why are you surprised?”
“Well, where I am from, there were no dragons.”
“Hmm, where are you from?”
After explaining my fake history for the second time, Twilight began to question me.
“Zeljeznikio? I have never heard of such a place. Not in any of my books.”
“It’s very small, no pony has.”
“Well that makes sense, it must be very far.”
“It was, and I never want to go back there, life there was horrid.”
“Well there’s no point in going back to the-“
“Hey Twilight!”
I heard a voice from above. A figure began zooming down onto the face of the earth. She now entered our surroundings.
“Oh, hey Rainbow Dash.”
Rainbow Dash? Another one of the ponies mentioned by Rarity?
“What’s up Twilight?”
Rainbow Dash was another Pegasus; she had a light blue coat with purple eyes and a mane representing a…rainbow, it had the same colors. Her cutie mark was a cloud with a lightning bolt sticking out of it.
“Nothing much, have you met VK? He is new around here coming from Zeljeznikio.”
“Zeljeznikio? What kind of a place is that?”
“Well, you wouldn’t want to go there, it’s very far and not worth the trip. So you must be Rainbow Dash”
“The one and only, and member of the wonder bolts. I’m guessing you must have heard of me? The only mare able to perform the Sonic Rain Boom?
“Well, to be honest, I’m new here, so no.”
Her jaw dropped.
“Are you okay?”
“No way, did you just arrive in Equestria? Where have you been?”
“Yes actually.”
“Oh…well, you know me now.”
Rarity had actually mentioned of this event before, however it took me a few seconds to pick up the thoughts.
“Wait I think I have heard of you, aren’t you one of Rarity’s friends?
“One of the mares who saved Equestria, three times, yes!”
Three times? Wait, Rarity mentioned her and the Mane Six saving Equestria only twice, when was the third? This was odd…
“Well, it’s nice to meet you too. Anyhow, I have to get going.”
“No it’s alright” Twilight said, we have to get going, Spike, Rainbow and I were on our way to fix the library.”
“The library?”
Twilight began walking away with Spike resting on her back, while Rainbow was hovering in the same direction she was heading.
“Yes it’s where I live, some ponies drop by often to borrow a book, but they never put them in the right places.”
“Well, best of luck!”
“Bye!”
Spike didn’t say anything because he was napping again.
“See ya later VK!”
This has been quite a day, and not to mention the only day I have been here. I went to walk around the town some more, and then I heard something.
“Hey, Big Mac! What are yah doin’?
“Sorry sis, but somtin’ is wrong with the wagon.”
“Well keep pushin’ harder, ya’ll got to get these apples to the farm before noon!”
Hmm, what was this? Maybe I could help.
“I’m telling ya, there is somtin’ wrong with the wagon!”
“Now don’t be so paranoid! There ain’ nothin’ wrong at all!”
The Orange Pony placed her hoof on the contraption, a wheel broke off.
“Dang it!”
“What do we do now?”
“Well, it’s a good thing there be a spare wheel on the back, but we best be needin’ a hammer if we wish to put it on. Big Mac, did you-“
“Nope.”
The Orange gave out a sigh.
“Fine, I’ll git it, give me bou’t a few minutes.”
“Can I help?”
“Hm? Now yall don’t recall you around here, who in the hey might you be?”
“My name is VK, I’m new here, I thought you could use some help with your wagon.”
“Well do yall have a hammer?”
“No, just let me check something.”
I took the spare wheel and lifted the bottom of the wagon. I wondered if my powers still worked. I tried to see if I was able to at least use my arm hammer, I began to concentrate. Nothing had worked, and then I tried again. Eventually, I found my arm in hammer form once again, invisible to any pony of course. I gave the wheel one hit onto the wagon, and as simple as that, a perfect fit.
“There.”
“Wow, you fixed it so fast! Thank you. By the way, mah name’s Applejack, this is mah brother Big Macintosh. Umm, sorry, what was yer name agin?”
“Well, you could just call me VK, that’s how I have always been addressed by.”
“Ah see, would you like to come to our farm for some lunch? It would be the least we could do fer ya.”
“Well, you really don’t have-“
I felt a noise erupt from my lower torso. It has actually been a while since I ate anything.
“Sure.”
Me and the two ponies walked down the road to the bridge heading out of Pony Ville.
“So tell me bout’ yerself VK, where ya from?”
VK and Vespi: Preventing the Cure
Authors Note
Short Chapter, I know. I was originally going to skip this scene, but I could not. I thought it would be good to include for a chapter.
I walked with Applejack and Big Macintosh on the way to their home in “Sweet Apple Acres”. After we introduced ourselves I began talking about my “Back story” and how I got to Pony Ville. Then Applejack told me about how she and her family made their living at the farm. We eventually got there, and she began to prepare food. While she told me to wait, I was left to be introduced to the rest of the apple family…wow.
“Ah VK, I’ll be preparin’ today’s lunch, while you’re waitin’ I would like you to meet the rest of the apple family ; Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apple, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith.”
“Umm, hello, I am Verandernden Korper, but you can call me VK.”
After meeting the relatives, I saw each one of them head out into the field, probably going back to work on the farm. Eventually the food arrived.
“Soups on VK!”
She came by with a big plate of food, and placed it onto the table. The plate had consisted of apple pie, apple tarts, caramel apples, and apple strudels…well what do you know?
“Finally!” I had thought to myself.
I gave my thanks to Applejack. When I had my fill, I went to thank her and the family again before I could head off. It took a while, but then I found Applejack and her brother working in the trees of the farms.
“Hey Applejack”
“Howdy VK”
“I just wanted say, thanks for everything.”
She bucked a tree
“What was that? Ah am sorry, ahm a little busy raht now”
“What are you two doing?”
“We are apple bucking, we have to get thes’ apples out of the tree while their fresh.”
“Can I help?”
To be honest I really didn’t have anything else to do, I mean why not help? I was just going to walk around back to Pony Ville and do nothing really. This may be a chance for me to have some sort of an activity to do, also I wanted to make sure if my powers are still fully functioning.
“Why sure thing, you can help by knocking out them trees over there.”
I proceeded towards the mentioned area of the acres I was told to go to. There were about, an estimated one-hundred and twenty trees. It was now time for me to get to work. As a pony, I could have just kicked the bucked the trees with my back legs. However as I said before, I was not an ordinary human. I was not an ordinary pony either.
I stood up on my back legs as if I were still human, because that was what I was used to. I began to turn my front arms in hammer form.
“Come on, you still have to work, don’t quit on me now.”
I had myself the tools necessary for work in a matter of seconds. I began to strike the trees in front of me, with the apples falling into the buckets. In about twenty seconds I had already had three perennial wood plants clear of their fruit. I began hitting each one at a time, with each one losing theirs in few hits. Now it was eight minutes, I had nearly two-fourths of the job done. As I continued the work it was becoming easier.
I continued to work for twenty more minutes, in that time I was starting to consider this job finished. Like going over an essay for a school assignment, I went throughout the mini forest in an order to see if there were any trees left untouched.
“Well, that is all of them; I should tell Applejack and Big Macintosh that all of the apples have been gathered.”
With that I went back to walk on all fours, and then I left to tell them the news.
I arrived to the plantation where the siblings were working. They were not in the same area where I found them, but it wasn’t that hard to do so. Eventually I found them, they were resting in front of two trees, and it seemed they did their job as well.
“Howdy VK, you’re back!”
Apparently they were not asleep.
“Hello, I just finished with the apples in the other area, how did you do?”
“Wow you sure are fast, I don’t think ah ever cleared that many trees in that amount of time, we did alright, we just finished working in this plantation so we both takin’ a break.”
They both got up.
“Well, back to work”
“Eyup”
“Hold on, there is more to be finished?”
“Eyup.”
“Big Mac’s rite, there’s another few hundred more trees over there that need buckin’. C’mon, let’s get goin’.”
AppleJack and Big Macintosh were walking toward the crops; but it seemed to me that they were a little tired from their previous work. The way they were walking had me concerned.
“I got it.”

To Vespi: Get ready for the next chapter, because the * "Six Friends and Luck"** are on their way!*
VK and Vespi: Preventing the Cure
“Vespi, you better give me a good damn reason why I had to quit my training.” Dan said.
“And a good reason why you made me stop spending time with Luna.” Nico quoted.
“Not to mention postpone my tonight’s performance.” Mike stated.
“And my business.” Conor mentioned.
“You’re lucky Silver Shield filled in for me today, otherwise Canterlot could have been left unguarded!”
Tyler brought up.
“I actually didn’t have anything to do today.” Ayan spoke.
“Relax guys, we’re going to a party.”
I said.
“Are you kidding me man? I was having the most customers at our bakery that I have had in a while!”
“Me and Vinyl were going to make one of the club’s sickest night ever, well, now I know where she’s gone.”
“You had to postpone and cut off our work for some stupid party, I could have been helping my wife tonight, maintaining the city!”
“C’mon Nico, Princess Luna can take care of herself, after all, she was the one banished to the moon for one-thousand years.”
“I just don’t want to leave her.”
“C’mon, what’s the worst that could happen? Besides, we never hang out anymore after the last two months; this may be something we could do together!” I said.
“A Pinkie Pie party, sure. C’mon Vespi, she throws one like, every day!” Dan said
“Well, I just got a letter from Rarity that a new pony has arrived in town.”
“So?” Dan said.
“Well, this is actually the first time in a while that some pony has arrived, after us of course.”
“Fine, whatever. I might stay for just an hour or less and meet the new guy, just to say hi, I don’t know. But Vespi, I better be back soon!”
“Good, it’s settled, let’s go guys!”
Six hours had passed since while I worked with Applejack and Big Macintosh on the “Sweet Apple Acres” plantation. During those hours I helped knock off every tree of its apples and had breaks in between, at least, Big Mac and Applejack did. I myself was not tired until the very end, because it was a while since I had anything to do with any action. It was in the late evening now as the sun began to set; I thought I would now be on my way to the Rarity-House again. After all, a lot has happened today.
“Bye VK, thanks fer yer help!”
“Eyup!”
“You’re welcome, and thank you for the food earlier, I could not have done it without it!”
With that, I headed off back to Pony Ville. I followed a road on the way there, but even with this, the walk alone had about twenty minutes to just get back to town. When I crossed the bridge into the civilization, I tried to remember where the residence was again. If I remember correctly, it was about half a block from the mayor’s building; I began to make my way there. When I arrived, I saw a two-story house on the left, this was it.
I began to make my way there. Even though the sun was still out, no person (sigh), pony was outside. I perceived this to be a suspicious situation since usually where I was from, no person would be outside when the sun was down.
After all of that work being finished, I began to think to myself about how I got here. What I do know is, I was transported here through the dimensional machine, I know that much. But was it the machine that turned me into a pony as well? No…it couldn’t have, other wise the commander would have mentioned that…right? What sense did that make? Nevertheless, I went inside my temporary resting area.
And abruptly…
“Surprise!” I was surrounded by numbers of mares and stallions who shouted this.
Out of the entire crowd, the first one to talk to me was none other than Pinkie Pie.
“Do you like it? Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?”
That’s right, the “party”, I remember now. Pinkie Pie said that she was going to throw a party for my arrival. I just couldn’t believe that she was actually serious. It seemed to me that more than half of the town’s population had arrived. Maybe it wasn’t every day that a newcomer came to Pony Ville.
There was confetti on the floor, as well as balloons that floated up to the ceiling. Streamers were placed onto the wall, along with a long banner that said “Welcome to Pony Ville VK” in an order to state what the occasion was. There was also two large-stereo systems in the corner with a unicorn Disk Jockey working at them. Of course, you also had your stereotypical party punch-bowl and unhealthy food of all sorts placed on one table.
“Well, what is every pony waiting for? Let’s get this party started!” Pinkie yelled, she fired a cannon that shot confetti, is that where all of this littering came from?
Every pony began to dance, talk, and serve themselves. While the DJ Unicorn began playing a song on the stereo. Seriously, this is not something you see every day.
“I, am speechless.”
“Really? I remember when I was speechless. Like one time when my good friend Twilight first came to Pony Ville, she was like “Good Evening”, and I was like *gasp*. Because I knew that she was new, and –“
I sneezed.
“VK, are you alright?”
“Yes, sorry about that, there was a bit of a draft in here, that’s all”
“Well that’s okay don’t mind that! Go have fun, enjoy! It’s your party!”
I seriously did not want to do anything like this at the moment. Why was this individual this happy? How could I enjoy myself knowing that I was somehow transported here through an attempted murder? But look at every pony, they were all happy. All Pinkie Pie wanted was for me to be happy too. How could I, when I still had questions on my mind?
Pinkie Pie began to look at me, oh no. Should I be the only face of a negative state in something this irrelevant? Once again, I had to fake my act. I faked a smile.
“Thank you very much for the party Pinkie Pie! You are the most generous pony in all of Equestria!”
“Oh no no no, Rarity is the element of generosity. I only did this because I want to make every pony happy! In fact did I ever tell you the time-“
Oh brother.
“Damn it Vespi, if we don’t make it soon, were going to be late. Just where did you say this party was at again?”
“Well, Rarity said that Pinkie would hold the party at our house.”
“Pinkie said that?! That’s why we had to close early?! Damn this new guy, we seriously were having a lot of customers.
“Relax Conor, you’ll have another one of those days.”
“Fuck you Mike, no pony has been coming to the bakery in days!”
“Sucks for you.”
“Vespi, are we there yet?”
“And then I said, Oatmeal, are you crazy!?”
Pinkie Pie finally paused herself.
“I see, you sure have a lot of interesting stories Pinkie Pie. You should share them with the other ponies. In the mean time, I think I will serve myself some punch.”
“Okey-Dokey-Loki!”
She bounced off once again. Even though I had said that comment to end her infinite conversation, I was actually thirsty. I went to see if I could serve myself at the punch bowl. Then a mare with a purple coat, darker purple mane and tail arrived in front of it. Her cutie mark (I think that’s what they call them here) were a bunch of purple grapes and a strawberry. She was about to drink directly out of the punch bowl.
“Hold it, what are you doing?”
“Getting myself a drink.”
“Well, there are glasses around the table.”
“Fine, sorry.”
“Good, you don’t want to have any germs spread anywhere. Leave some for every pony.”
You really think I wasn’t going to let her get away with that, did you? After that incident, I lost my taste for fruit punch. Instead, I just wanted to drink some water. Yes, water. Something everyone should drink more of rather than all of those other unhealthy drinks. As I looked on the table, I wasn’t surprised, no water, typical.
“Pinkie Pie, do you have any water?”
“Good evening VK.”
“Hm?”
“Are you enjoying the party so far?”
Rarity came by to greet me again. Once again, I lied.
“Yes, in fact I love it, thank you very much for this event. It wouldn’t have happened without you informing Pinkie about my being here.”
“Well you’re quite welcome. Is there anything you need?”
“Yes there is, do you know where I can get any water?”
“Why sure they are serving water in the other room.”
I began walking into the other room, several ponies were looking at me. Before I could even think, every pony kept asking me the same question.
“Hey VK, why do you wear those bandages?”
“It’s a uniform.”
“Hey VK, why do you wear those bandages?”
“It’s a uniform.”
“Hey VK, why do you wear those bandages?”
“It’s a uniform.”
“Hey VK, why do you wear those bandages?”
“It’s a uniform.”
I was asked this question three more times on the way to the table serving glasses of water, literally. Finally, I took a glass, and drank away. I really needed that. Just then, I heard a balloon pop. Beside me was a male unicorn with a blur coat, carrying a cutie mark with the appearance of a pin.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m popping balloons, man.”
“Why?”
“Because I can.”
“Well don’t, you’re alarming the others.”
“Fine.”
Again, I would not let that pass. As I was standing there by the water glass table, I began to observe the events that were taking place in the festivity. The room was dark, a bunch of various-colored lights were flashing. The ponies were still dancing in the center of the room. Some began serving themselves punch and food in the other room. Of course, they were also some groups of ponies, I guess, talking about life on this side of the room. Even though this was a party, the occasion being my existence; I did not have anything to do. All I could do now was to think. But now, what was there to think about? I still had questions on my mind, with no answers, and I already had thought of that twice, still with no answers. It came to my conclusion…
…I was bored…
“Is everything all right VK?”
It was Rarity again. This time she was walking while holding a glass of water.
“Yes, I’m just, I’m just a little bored.”
“Well maybe you should take advantage of this event; maybe you meet new ponies.”
“Sure why n-“
The front door had opened abruptly .
“All right, we made it, Finally!”
“Well c’mon guys, you think that I forgot where I live?!”
“Yes. I mean you are so lost sometimes Vespi.”
Oh, it was just a couple of stallions, why did I even look?
“Vespi, you made it!”
Hold on, Rarity knew these ponies?
“Of course I did honey, why wouldn’t I?”
He took off his helmet and placed it on a shelf.
The stallion had given Rarity a kiss, all right, what was happening?
“VK, I would like you to meet my husband Vespi.”
Husband? I looked at the frame behind me the same one where Rarity had married this individual. Vespi…so this was Rarity’s husband. The same pony who had saved me from the river. I shook hooves with him.
“Hello, how are you doing?”
Holy shit, this was the same colt I found yesterday morning! He has recovered faster than I thought he would!
“I am fine, thank you. It’s Michael, Michael Vespa, but as Rarity said, you can call me Vespi.”
“My name is actually Verandernden Korper, but I’ve always been addressed as VK.”
“Seems legit.”
“Listen, can we talk outside?”
“Sure why not, my friends came here to have fun, but I actually don’t have anything to do at the moment. You know, I just want to take a break from all of the work I’ve had today.”
I looked around the room now after Vespi and his friends came into the room. The sky blue one with the cutie mark of a raven just served himself some punch. The armored pony with the brown coat was talking with a yellow pony with a black mane. The white unicorn with orange hair walked up to the Disk Jockey pony and gave her a kiss; I am guessing he knew her well? The other ponies that Vespi arrived with were not able in the same room as I was, or the other. They probably just went somewhere else.
“Well let’s go then.”
Vespi and I were outside in the town square, he was probably going to ask me a few questions now, but I began the conversation.
“So you were the one who saved me yesterday, weren’t you?”
Vespi only nodded
“I owe you my thanks, I would have died if I was still left there.”
“You welcome, I mean well, I had to, no pony else was there.”
I said nothing in agreement.
“What were you doing that night?”
“Running away.”
“From where?”
…
“Well, there is no need to look at the past now, all of that is over.”
“Yeah.”
“So before you went you fell into the river, you said you were in a forest?”
“Basically.”
“That was the Ever Free Forest, you really shouldn’t go out there during the day.”
“And now I am told.”
“Then again, you are the one who is not from Equestria, I’ve been here long enough and know this place like the back of my hoof.”
I laughed.
“That is true. Anyhow, you were born here?”
“No actually, me and my friends are from Mane Hatten, it’s like a pony city kinda far from here.”
“You and your…friends?”
“Eyup. Me and the colts have been on quite some adventures.”
“Really?”
“Yup.”
“Out with it, try me.”
From this point forward Vespi had told me about how he and his friends had first arrived in Equestria two years ago, specifically Pony Ville. At first, him and his friends they were lost. First there was him, then there was the yellow earth pony, Neon; a white unicorn, MP; A brown earth pony, Courageous C; a dark blue Pegasus, Royal Royce; and a light blue Pegasus, Augustus. At first, they were homeless, until Royal Royce had done a favor for the mayor which gave them the deed to the house. Very soon, Vespi soon met Rarity over a knapsack that he carried. Just like me, they were given a party for their first visit. That was when Rarity and Vespi went into their relationship. Later on, Vespi and his friends were assigned a mission to investigate pink smoke near a mountain. After an hour, they found one out that one of their friends was also in the Pony Ville county.
“Ayan? That’s the armored pony, correct?”
“Yeah.”
“What is with that armor, anyhow?”
“He’s an agent, he always like to wear that around, that thing is practically his own skin, I swear.”
“An agent huh?”
After the reunion with their friend, Vespi and the others, as it turns out, had to join with the Mane Six to save Equestria. There was an incident where a comet stone’s power had been triggered, thus it was up to the thirteen ponies to scatter around Equestria to collect the comet stone pieces, bring Nightmare Moon into being, and stop her. Also MP and Twilight Sparkle seemed to have been going into a relationship.
“Nightmare Moon? I have heard of her she is the form that Princess Luna had went to one-thouand years ago.”
“Well yes, this comet was how she gained this form.”
“Really? Then what happened?”
When the ponies obtained the stone pieces, they had a battle between them and her, well; specifically it was Celestia and Luna fighting her. In the end, she fell, and peace was brought back to the land. As a celebration to apply to this victory, a party was held at the Hall of Princess Celestia’s castle. However, apparently that was no break either.
“Really? What happened?”
Vespi laughed.
“Get this.”
When the party began, Royal Royce had started a riot, and that was only the beginning. Courageous C had went absurd riding an ursa minor into the party. Not only this, but there was also an attack being held by Parasprites. If I remember correctly, parasprites are firefly-like creatures that multiply and once tried to eat everything in Pony Ville, which is what Rarity had told me. Augustus was also being chased by two bipedal organisms.
“What were they?”
Holy shit, I can’t tell them what they were, and this pony does not even know what a human is.
“Umm, no idea, they had to be like demons or something, at that point, anything was believable in that chaos.”
“Alright then, continue.”
Soon afterwards Neon had caused an explosion with explosives he found in a basement. Worst of all, Rarity’s mother had found out about that Vespi was Rarity’s colt friend, she was not very happy about this.
“Wow, I can’t believe it, you colts…”
“Eyup.”
“I have been through some really dangerous adventures, but you have actually have some compared to mine.”
“What?”
Oh no, did I say that out loud? No, I couldn’t let this stallion know where I was actually from; thank goodness that he didn’t hear me.
“I have nothing on you, you and your friends, seriously.”
“Yeah, get this, the Princess even let us throw the next year’s party.”
“Damn, that’s just, how could she allow that?”
“She just did dude.”
Vespi laughed.
When Vespi’s friends and the Mane Six went back to Pony Ville, thing were still quite awry. As it turned out, Vepsi and the others had been robbed. Not only this, but parasprites were on the loose again, this time they were attacking the town. After this final battle between the friends and this conflict, every pony was finally able to take a break.
“Thank goodness.”
“Yeah.”
Eighteen months had passed since Vespi and the others arrived in Pony Ville. During this time skip, Neon decided to take jobs as a guard. Courageous C decided to work with Pinkie Pie as a baker. Augustus had become married to Luna and became the head of the Royal Guard. MP became a Disk Jockey and went into a relationship with Vinyl Scratch…thus breaking up with Twilight. Ayan decided to work as an agent. Last but not least, Vespi had finally obtained the courage to propose to Rarity. From that point forward, the two became married, and every pony had went to their own ways.
“Well, we couldn’t forget about all of that, couldn’t we?”
“Nope.”
“Wait, hold on a minute, Augustus actually married the princess?”
“Yeah.”
Vespi said the next passage of words a bit more silent.
“It still sucks to me that he’s immortal.”
“What do you mean immortal?”
…
“That’s kind of hot.”
“Dude.” Vespi said in disagreement.
“Sorry. I wonder how Augustus actually managed to-“
Darn it, what was the slang word that teenagers would use?
“Score with her.”
“You got me there.”
“I have a theory.”
“What would that be?”
“Well, being trapped on the moon for one thousand years, you know that you would get very lonely up there. Also the way that you described Augustus in your story makes me think that he was fearless, and Luna had respected that.”
“I guess that would make sense.”
“Anyway, that was quite something, seriously. I honestly have nothing on your adventures Vespi, you and your friends that is.”
“Well, I am not finished yet.”
“No way, seriously, there’s still more?”
“Well, you probably wouldn’t think it was as crazy as the previous adventures. Just think of it as the final battle after the war.”
“Sure, why not? Wouldn’t you like to go back inside?”
“Good idea, I’m getting thirsty, and it is kind of cold out here.”
Vespi and I went to walk on the way back to his house, him telling of the story of how he and his friends being in Pony Ville which lasted about thirty minutes. When we arrived back inside, I saw that no pony had left the party. In fact more ponies arrived, including the ones I met earlier today. Twilight, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash and the yellow pegasus were talking to each other in the other room.
“I’ll be right back.”
Vespi said.
“Sure take your time.”
I replied.
While looking at the four mares talking to each other, I noticed that the quadruped of the brightest primary color had waved at me. The only response to do at that point was to wave back. I went to go and serve myself another glass of water, therefore I escorted myself to the other room and took a glass from the table. I touched a glass, but I swear I heard something very faint from the same room.
“Then…talk…him.”
I did not hear the entire sentence, yet then I proceeded to take a drink from the glass. I just thought about the adventures that Vespi had told me about. Of course, when I said that I had nothing on his adventures, that was a lie. So far, the adventures that he and his friends had were only fun compared to what I had went through in the old dimension. I could only remember them as if they were still occurring…
“Hi.”
I was interrupted before I could even think about the past. I looked behind myself to see who it was. The yellow Pegasus was greeting me. I remembered that she was one of Rarity’s friends, darn it, what was her name again? She did actually say it, yet she said it a little too quiet for me to remember it well enough.
“Hello there.”
“Sorry about myself earlier, I was nervous at the time, I always tend to be so when I meet new ponies.”
“No, it is alright.”
“My name is Fluttershy, I just wanted to say that it’s very nice to meet you VK.”
Fluttershy, that was it, I could remember that from now on.
“Sure thing, likewise. Are you enjoying the party?”
She only nodded as she was smiling at me. She was looking at me for some time now, three seconds more than usual, now five seconds, eight seconds, ten seconds. The moment was becoming uncomfortable.
“Umm…”
“Yo VK! Over here!”
“I have to get going, but it’s nice to see you again, take care!”
“Bye.”
I walked away from the umm…awkward moment. Yet why did I feel as if something was out of place? Did I feel actually feel like saying anything, somewhere? I looked back, Fluttershy was still smiling at me. Was there something that…no, never.
“Wanna hear the rest of the story?”
“Of course.”
It had been six months since Vespi and the friends had seen each other again. First Vespi had seen Tyler jumping off the rooftops in Pony Ville trying to catch an equestrian criminal. After their reunion, they eventually united with the others to stop factions of gangs that were attacking the land. In the midst of all this, a second gala party had been planned as promised by the princess. But no pony had expected the red hooves to attack at that moment. Royal Royce was also trying to get into a relationship with a mare named Fleur De Lis, which is weird because I thought that he was in a relationship with Rainbow Dash, well he wasn’t the only one to break up. In the end, the seven colts had stopped the Red Hooves with the help of a royal guard named Silver Shield. But just as the final battle was about to erupt, another bipedal demon had destroyed the Red Hooves, thus he became the main antagonist. In the end, the eight friends and luck managed to stop the demon, and Equestria was saved for the forth time.
“A bipedal demon?”
“Yeah, he planned everything all along, we were surprised just as you were.”
“I figured. So this is how you guys came to be here today huh?”
“There was one more thing that did happen that time.”
“What would that be?”
“Well, Rarity found out that we’re going to be parents.”
“Wow, congratulations!”
“Thank you.”
“Vespi, your stories are one of the most interesting I have ever heard.”
“You know VK, we seem to have a lot in common.”
“Really?”
“Well, think about it, we’ve both been through some rough adventures, we’re both not from Pony Ville, and-“
“What else?”
“I guess we both like to party.”
“Me? Not really, hell, I’m actually kind of-“
I just noticed something peculiar about the beverage Vespi was holding in his hoof.
“Is that…beer?”
“Yeah, what of it?”
“Hold on, how old did you say you were again?”
“Fifteen.”
Fifteen?! What the hell has this world come to? I remember in Zeljeznicki City that the drinking age was thirty.
“Aren’t you a little young to be drinking at that age?”
“Relax, I’ve been doing this since I arrived here.”
“So you’ve been drinking since you and your friends were…”
“Thirteen? Yes what of it? Equestria does not have an age limit to drink, where have you been?”
“Well, where I am from the drinking limit was thirty.”
“Wow.”
“Yeah, very strict city.”
“Well, why don’t you live a little VK?”
“But who knows what could happen, that stuff is practically poisonous or something.”
“Oh come on, try some! It’s a party, not to mention your party.”
Neon had joined in.
“Yo Vespi, what’s going on?”
“This city that this stallion came from had a drinking limit, he thinks this liquor will kill him at the first try or something.”
“Ha! What a pussy!”
Oh I get it now, this is my party. It came to me now that I should make the best of this moment. Why think about the past now, after all, it’s over. I should enjoy the moment as it is now. I escaped danger more times than I could count, I should be happy that I am still living, that I made it this far. I took the bottle from Vespi’s hoof and drank from it.
“What did you say?”
Neon laughed .
“Yup, I knew you were going to do it eventually. So who’s your new friend Vespi?”
“This is VK, he’s new here…”
During the next few hours after this I had a chance to meet Vespi’s friends and have...fun. I first went on by meeting Vespi’s best friend Neon, then MP, Augustus, Courageous C, Royal Royce, and Ayan. I had myself a few beers, specifically three, although I was thirteen, in an area with no age limit, why not? I was happy to still be living, happy that I still (technically) there. Soon we all went out and I participated with Neon and Courageous C by throwing toilet paper at other ponies houses outside. After that we went to Mr. and Mrs. Cakes bakery and replaced their frosting with kerosene, of course we made sure that no pony was around. We went back inside Vespi’s house and I had myself two more containers of liquor which were bad for my health. Then I did not know why but I just began laughing. I think I began to get drunk. Anyhow I then went with Ayan, Augustus, and Royal Royce to go and burn thrown away pieces of furniture placed outside out in town. Now we all just went to the lake to go rock skipping.
Royal Royce laughed.
“This reminds me of the good old days.”
“Yeah, Vespi had told me about the adventures you’ve had in the past. I thought I was the one with the craziest stories.”
“We seem to have a lot in common, I think we could be good friends.”
“Six friends and luck, that’s what I’ve always said.”
“That’s not bad, I like that.”
I began to look into the water with the moon shining over it. I could not believe the day I had, I made about more than ten friends in one day, and I was already with seven of them at the lake.
“Say Vespi, don’t you think we could get in trouble for those things we had done?”
“Well, you know we’re still young, we could practically get away with anything. For me, it’s always been that I say “Eyup” and then it’s all over.
“You have to enjoy what you can. Hey Ayan, exactly where did you obtain a flamethrower?”
“I am an agent, we tend to have access to some equipment.”
“I see. Anyhow it was nice meeting you all, I have to get going.”
“Alright, you’re not a bad guy yourself VK.” Royal Royce said
“Bye.” Augustus stated
“Take care.” Ayan said
“See ya.” Vespi announced
I began to walk back to the house where I could rest in my temporary quarters. But as I pressed on, my entire body was getting heavy. I believe that all of those beer beverages had gotten to me; I was clearly drunk, which was especially unhealthy for a person, pony of my age. Still, I had to at least make it to the house, if I could make it out of danger, running from the military several times, I was pretty sure I could make it to the house before falling. However it was too late, my eyelids began to droop, I was now walking slower and slower. I was not even close to Vespi’s house.
I now collapsed, and before I could do anything at the moment…
I was now quiescent…
