From Dusk Til... Ponies?

***From Dusk Til...Ponies?

Chapter 2:***

An Envious Meeting

-----Day 3 (Continued)-----

               Justin and I got into the car. Or at least he did. I had to climb in through the window.

               “You ready?” Justin asked.

               “No, I can’t get buckled,” I said as I fiddled with the buckle.

               “Here,” he said as he buckled my seatbelt.

               “Thanks,” I said.

               “Let’s go,” he replied.

               “Ande!” I said.

               We set off for C of O. As it was the drive was like 30 minutes long so we had plenty of time to discuss. Justin just ended up accepting the fact I was a pony. After I explained the fact that Tara Strong and Lauren Faust had become Luna and Celestia, respectively. I ended up showing him the video. His response was something along the lines of “Mother f***ing Christ.”

              We pulled up to the C of O office and went up to the secretary.

               “Excuse me. We’re looking for Jacob Hilton. Can you please direct us to his room?” I asked.

               “Go to the area for the high school and ask the R.A,” she replied.

               “Thank you.”

              We immediately hunted down the high school on the school map. After accomplishing that, with a bit of effort, we headed over. I entered the dorm building and was subjected to many stares.

               “Um. Can I speak to the R.A?” I asked.

               “That’s me,” a brunette girl wearing a sundress said.

`              “Can you take us to Jacob Hilton?” I asked.

               “Of course follow me,” she said.

               She led us down a short hallway to a set of stairs. We climbed 3 stories and finally arrived at his door. It was room 3-G. She rapped on the door.

               “Jacob! You have visitors,” she called.

               “Give me a minute!” He yelled. He opened the door. “Yeah who is it Ra-“

              He stopped. His eyes went the size of dinner-plates.

               “No. F***ing. Way.” He gasped. “I finally get to meet one of you.”

              He bent down and held out his hand. “I’m Jacob.”

              I brought up my hoof. “I’m Dusk Showers. Or Josh. Whichever you prefer. And besides I already knew you before I was ponyfied.”

              “You did?”

              “I said my name was Josh right?”

              “Um yeah. Wait… Josh Daymude?”

              “Mhm.”

              “You are one lucky S.O.B.”

              “Uh huh. Let’s go inside.”

              “What? Oh right.” He led inside his rather messy room. It was just cluttered with stuff. It ranged from MLP to Halo. “So what are you doing here?”

              “Dude. I’m a pony. You are the most obsessed Brony I know. And I don’t know if this one,” I said gesturing towards Justin, “Is brave enough to go to New York.”

              “Hey!” Justin said.

               “New York? Hell yeah!” He replied suddenly wearing sunglasses.

               “How did you? Oh never mind,” I said.

               “Let me call my mom,” Justin muttered.

               As soon as he finished that sentence he collapsed.

               “Justin? Oi! Justin?” I nudged him.

               “The hell?” Jacob yelped.

               “Guys? What happened?” Justin asked.

               “The hell?” I said.

               Justin was pony now too. He was a purple colored unicorn with a green-ish colored mane. He also had a cutie mark of two green apples.

               “Hey guys? Why am I so short?” he asked.

               I facehoofed. “Dude, you have been ponyfied. Looks like it was Apple Stars who you got.”

              “I have? Wait… I’m a girl?” He said quite loudly with a tag of disbelief.

               “A mare to be exact. Just deal with it. I am,” I deadpanned.

               “I’m a guy though!” He exclaimed.

               “I was a guy too dipshit,” I said.

               He dropped to the ground and started to whine. I turned back to Jacob who was staring at Justin in disbelief. I clapped my hooves. “Hey! We got bigger problems!”

              “What? Oh yeah,” he said.

               “Mhm. Now pay attention. We have to get to New York. Got it?” I questioned.

               “Ya. But you aren’t an Element so why are you going?” he asked.

               ‘Because it’s there,” I replied.

               “Um. Okay. When do you wanna go?” he asked.

            “Tomorrow.  Let’s just go get the stuff we need,” I said.

            “What about Justin?” he asked.

            “We’ll be coming back but I suggest you lock the door,” I deadpanned.

            “Alright,” he said. He locked the door and we headed outside for his car. I hoped in through the window. He climbed in and we set off for the nearby Country Mart. We entered and one of the employees greeted us. “Good Morning, Welcome to Country Mart. Oh and ponies are quite welcome,” he said. Of course. A produce store won’t ban paying customers. Hell if a cockatrice came in they would probably let it stay as long as it had money.

            “Thank you,” I said.

            “No problem M’am,” he replied.

            We entered the decently sized store.  There were quite a few rows for many things. I proceeded to the fruits and vegetables isle. I grabbed apples, bananas, kiwi, carrots, and some other things. I proceeded to the soda isle. Even if I was a pony I wasn’t going to give up on soda. I grabbed a couple two liters and went to find Jacob. In his cart he had the hygiene products and some clothing that was strangely pony sized. Wow leave it to the companies to figure out ways to get more money. I asked him to put all the stuff from my basket into his cart and left the basket on the shelf. I then proceeded to jump into the cart. I sat there as Jacob grabbed some more things and we went to the cashier up front.

           “Why hello! Did you find everything you needed?” the female cashier asked.

           “Mhm,” I answered as Jacob piled everything onto the belt. She scanned everything and bagged it up for us. Jacob and I headed out side to the car. On our way out I heard a squeal.

“Mommy! It’s a pony! Can we go look at it?” the girl begged.

“I don’t see why not,” her mother replied.

The girl ran up and squeezed me. Or, to put in less harmful terms, hugged. I smiled at the girl.

“Hi. I’m Josh,” I said.

“I’m Olivia!” the little girl replied. While Jacob loaded everything into the car I played with the little girl. Of course the mom asked if she could take some pictures.

               “Excuse me? But per chance could you send some of those to my phone?” I asked.

               “Oh of course,” she said.

               I gave her my number and she sent me some pictures.

               “I plan on starting a Facebook to contact others like this, when I do is it okay if I friend you?” I asked.

               “Oh sure,” she said, “I’ll send you a link to my account.”

              “Thank you,” I yelled, “Bye Olivia!” I waved my hoof to the little girl.

               “Bye!” she shouted to me as I clambered into the car.

               “Make some friends?” Jacob asked.

               “Yup,” I replied. We got started and headed back to the dorms. We entered the room to find Justin staring at the TV.

               “Oi! You! We’re back,” I said.

               “What? Oh yeah, hi...” he said as he continued to watch the TV. What was up with him? Jacob headed into his kitchen and grabbed the cooler and started stuffing the groceries inside it. I meanwhile went over and pulled out my computer. After I logged into Quotev I got a message from Fullmetal Heart.

-Fullmetal Heart: So where you going?

-Heathcliff: New York.

-Fullmetal Heart: Really?

-Heathcliff: Yup.

-Fullmetal Heart: Can I come along?

-Heathcliff: Let me ask Jacob.

               “Hey Jacob. Can a friend of mine join us?” I asked.

               “Ya whatever. We have room,” he said.

-Heathcliff: Ya he said it’s okay.

-Fullmetal Heart: Cool. Where should I meet you guys?

-Heathcliff: How about the McDonald’s near C of O in about an hour?

-Fullmetal Heart: I’ll be there.

Fullmetal Heart has gone offline.

               I logged off and looked over at Justin. He was now talking to Jacob. It seemed that he had figured out how to walk while we were gone.

               “So Jacob, do you know how my magic should work?” he asked.

               “From what I know you should just imagine it happening...” he said.

               So Justin tried. His horn glowed a blue color before he stopped.

               “It’s not working,” he said.

               “Keep trying, I’ll be back in about an hour,” I said. I headed out the door, with help of course. I climbed down the steps to the lounge. Rachel opened the door for me.

               “Thanks,” I said as I stepped out. I walked to the front gates and passed the main office and proceeded to the Hollister Town Plaza. I headed for the McDonald’s and opened the door to some truckers.

               “Can I get a water please?” I asked the cashier.

               “Sure,” he replied not looking up. He passed the cup and then looked up. “Um where are you?”

              “Down here,” I said. He peered over the counter.

               “Oh um I can’t help you at the moment sorry,” he said.

               “I can,” a nearby trucker called.

               “Thank you sir,” I replied.

               “No problem I love your show and so does my daughter,” he said, “I’m Andrew, that’s Drew,” he said pointing at a large trucker with glee on his face, “that’s Miles,” he pointed at another trucker who looked pleasantly surprised, “and this,” he pointed at an 11 year old girl, “is my daughter Alexis.”

              “Oh, I’m Josh,” I replied.

               “Oh my gosh,” Alexis said, “Yer one of them MLP ponies!”

              Oh. An accent. Slight but definitely there.

               “It would appear so,” I deadpanned.

               “Oh my god. I’ve wanted to give one of you a hug,” she said, “May I?”

              “Yeah sure,” I said.

               She squealed and grabbed me. I did my best to hug back.

               “So watcha doin’ here?” she asked as she set me down, “I thought the ponies needed to go to New York.”

              “Yeah. The Elements of Harmony need to but I’m going too,” I said.

               “Cool! We’ll be in New York in about two weeks or should I say 14 days... Stupid calendar,” she said.

               “Cool! Maybe I’ll see you there,” I replied.

               “Ya! Here in case just let me give you my number,” she said.

               “My phone’s in my bag,” I told her.

               “K...” she said. She grabbed my phone and I went back to talking with the truckers.

               “So you guys are all bronies?” I asked.

               “Yeah,” said Drew.

               “Ok Josh I got it put in,” Alexis called out.

               “Oh hey while you are using it would you mind making me a Facebook? I already got my email in earlier,” I asked.

               “Yeah sure. What do you want your name to be?” she asked.

               Wait what was the pony whose body I had’s name?”

Dusk Showers...

               Huh? What was that? I don’t usually sound like that in my head…

              “Go with Josh DuskShowers,” I said.

               “M’k...” she said.

               “Anyway… When did you guys become bronies?” I asked.

               “Around the middle of season one when Alexis showed me an episode and I showed these two,” said Andrew.

               “I saw the first episode and loved it,” I said.

               “Hey Josh?” asked Alexis.

               “Yeah?” I asked.

               “Which image do you want as your profile picture?” she said.

               “Go with one of the ones of me and the little girl,” I said.

               “Okay... I’m done,” she said a minute later, “Password is IcyRain12#.”

              “Okay thanks,” I said as she placed the phone in my bag.

               That was when I saw Envy open the door.

               “Gotta go guys. Just saw my friend,” I said.

               “Bye!” They all said in unison. Kind of creepy actually.

               “Envy!” I shouted as I ran up to sea.

               “Josh?” sea asked.

               “Yup.” I replied to sea.
