My life in Equestriaby MrPikmarioChaptersChapter the firstWe aren't in Kansas anymoreUnicorns and ApplebuckingTHE Chapter 4Challenger Approching?Reunion and a messageThe Devil HerselfIntroChapter the firstCHAPTER 1: The portal It was a nice summer afternoon where I was (I say that cause I forget where I was), and I was napping in the sun behind my house. This was normal routine, at least until Spencer, my brother, told me to come back in. Considering I’m older, I should be ordering him around. But it’s not what I do. Anyhow, I was just relaxing as normal, until a sudden rainstorm came out of nowhere, and I wasn’t a fan of getting rained on, so I went in. Spencer and Jay, my other younger brothers (Actually, I’m only older than them now. Jay’s birthday is in may, and Spencer was born in august), were in the attic, going through all the old junk we had. So I thought I’d join then, for boredoms sake. This story is told from multiple points of view, so I put this line here to show the transition. (Spencer’s point of view) “Why do we have so much crap up here anyways?” I said. We honestly kept EVERYTHING we had. “Cause it could be USEFUL, Spence. Even though most of it’s broken.” Jay replied. He was holding up a half of a cartwheel, which I didn’t think we had. “Where’d that come from?” I asked. “Tahiti.” He said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. We were only up here because the door to the attic broke under the weight of the stuff in here. Which is not good considering the ladder was attached to it. We had a hell of a time getting up here, and god knows how we’ll get this stuff down, but we’ll manage. “HEY, look at this!” Jay had just pulled out our grandfather’s sword. “I forgot we had this thing! Now I just need a way to…” “We aren’t gonna use it, stupid. One, it’s old. Two, it’s dangerous. And three, you’ve never wielded a sword before. How are you gonna use it?” “…..well, crap…I’ll teach myself that’s hOW!” Jay made a shallow cut across his leg swinging the sword around. “Nice going, dumbass. You’ve proven two of my points. Now put the thing down!” He’s not always this stupid, but he does have his moments. “Well that’s Jay for you. Dumb as a rock and hollow as a shell!” I turned around. Colin was standing behind me, laughing at Jay’s idiocy. “Aw, shut up and help us!” Jay yelled. “Yes, King Dunce. Right away!” I laughed at this one. Jay was a good sport, and was chuckling at this as well. “Anyways, what have I missed other than Jay cutting himself open?” Just then, there was a loud clang outside, thoroughly startling us. “The crap was that?” Jay asked. “I dunno, but I’ll see.” Colin rushed downstairs, and considering the ladder was out, that was an impressive feat. Then again, he never failed to amaze us with the stuff he did, like hold off a band of muggers with a half broken baseball bat. I ran downstairs, careful not to make too much noise so whatever was making the noise couldn’t hear that it was noticed. I got to the front yard, and the trash can was knocked over. I was about to go back inside after assuming whatever it was left, until I heard crying behind it. I crept towards it, and looking over the can I saw ( I had to pinch myself to see if I was awake, which I was) a cyan pony with rainbow colored hair. (Don’t ask me how that fits together) I knew that it PROBLY wouldn’t come with me if I asked. Long story short, it’s a good thing Jay always forgets to put things away. I picked up the shovel, and, making my way back, gave the pony a solid THWACK to the head. “I’m going to hell for that.” I said after making sure that it was unconscious. I carried it back to the house, and set it on the couch. “So, did you find what made the noise or was it go-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!” Jay had walked in and saw the creature. “A pony. DUH!” “Do ponies have wings?” I just now noticed this. The pony had two feathery wings at its sides. “Then it’s a Pegasus. I don’t see what’s….oh wait, aren’t they supposed to not exist?” “How are you not surprised by this?” Jay asked. Although this wasn’t the first time I thought something unnatural was normal, like with the ghost, he was still surprised that I wasn’t as freaked as him. “Well get Spencer. He’s the one who seems to know about everything.” “Too late.” Spencer walked in, a lot more calm than Jay was. “Why is there a Pegasus on the couch, and unconscious at that?” I explained how I had found it, and knocked it out with the shovel. “Wow. You know you’re…” “Going to hell, I know. But I’m sure it wouldn’t have agreed to come with me, even if we were going to help it.” I said. “Help it?! You’re not suggesting we help it back to wherever, are we? That would be the WORST possible course of action! Why not call animal control?” “Aaaaand the prize for idiot of the year goes to….JAY! What the hell would animal control do? Put it in a shelter?” Spencer seemed stupefied that Jay would even suggest that. “Nah. They’ll probably kill it. Or put it in a zoo. Either or.” Jay was right. It would probably be sent to a zoo so kids could throw peanuts at it. “I think it’s waking up.” I looked at the pony and, sure enough, it seemed like it was stirring. “Should we leave and let it wake up?” “No, that’s stupid. It’ll probably run off. It has to stay here until we figure out why it’s here, or at least where it came from.” “Ugh…where am I?” The Pegasus was conscious now, but the impact of the shovel must have knocked up it’s brain. “Hey, you alright? We found you outside.” Spencer said. I think he was trying not to be too tense, in case this thing was not willing to talk, but instead try to kill us. It just sat there for a few seconds, staring at us. “WAH!!!” All three of us jumped as it screamed and rocketed away from us, and into the wall, making a small crater. “Uh….was that actually necessary?” “Jay, you are SUCH a moron.” I said walking over to the creature. It hugged the wall, almost looking like it thought it was the end. “You ok? That looked like it hurt.” “I-I’m fine.” It said. Judging from the voice, it was a female. “Well, that’s impressive. You can run into walls really fast, and it doesn’t hurt?” Jay now seemed interested with her rather than wanting to get rid of her. “Any who, we don’t know your name. You do have one, right?” “M-my name is R-rainbow Dash.” She said. “Fitting, considering your mane. And you can stop stuttering and shying away from me. We aren’t going to hurt you.” That seemed to calm her down a bit. “Where are you from?” I asked. Maybe we could help with this part. “Equestria. Have you ever heard of it?” Silence. “Um…ok. Equestria. Never heard of it. Maybe if you tell us how you got here, we could help you return.” “Well, I was sent to investigate a really weird storm, being on the weather team and all. It looked like a tornado, but skinnier and taller. I got sucked into it, and it put me here.” Spencer’s eyes widened. “Did the storm happen to be multicolored?” An unusual question, but we were unusual people. “Yes. It was.” Rainbow Dash seemed a bit hopeful at this. “It was an interuniversal vortex. They appear every one million years, in two random universes. They act as portals, sending things to both universes from the other. That must be why you’re here.” Again, Spencer is educated in pretty much everything, but this amazed both us and Dash. “How do you learn about these things?” Jay asked. I had to agree there. “Since you never read I guess you won’t know this stuff.” I had no idea you could find a book about universal storms. I should try that sometime. But, helping Rainbow Dash came first, whether I liked it or not. “Wait…the storm here came out of nowhere! Maybe the interuniversal storm is around here!” “Really?!” Rainbow seemed overjoyed. “’Coarse,” Colin said, “we just have to find it, get you in it, and BANG! You’re home! That is how it works, right Spence?” That seemed like a long shot, but it probably was true. “Yes, it should work like that.” “We’re spared the trouble of finding it, because IT”S OUTSIDE!” I was looking out the window, and no sooner than the conversation finished, the storm was (very fortunately) coming down the street. “Well we better get moving then!” Colin said, jumping towards the door. It was still about a few hundred yards away, but the wind was still really strong. That’s why it was stupid that we were standing outside, all four of us. Spencer said something, but I couldn’t hear him. Suddenly, the storm seemed to launch itself at us, catching us in the swirling wind. The last thing I thought before I lost consciousness was: Well, at least Dash is getting home. Even if we’re going too. Since I’m using this for school, I need a moral. And that is that you should always help people, no matter what crap happens to you. RD: Well? Aren’t you going to tell the rest of the story? Me: Patience, Dash. It’s a long story, and I’m going to need multiple chapters to tell it. RD: Then when are you going to tell the second chapter? Me: I don’t know. It will be done though END CHAPTER 1 We aren't in Kansas anymoreChapter 2: Equestria, HO! “Agh….why must gravity be a total bitch?” I had woken up after falling, I don’t know, from a REALLY large height. The last thing I remembered was that storm coming at us, and it doesn’t help that we had no idea where we were. Everyone else seemed to be awake, and Dash looked really happy. I mean REALLY HAPPY. “OHMYGODYESIMHOMEHAHAHA!” Jay looked at her weirdly. “You live in the middle of nowhere? No wonder you were surprised to see us.” Spencer gave Jay a look of annoyance. “We aren’t in the middle of nowhere. There’s a path near us, and those aren’t usually found in ’the middle of nowhere’. The trees are also too far apart to…” Jay stopped him there. “Fine, fine, don’t start lecturing me. Jeez. It does look like an apple orchard, though. And people usually own them, so we can find someone to tell us where we are.” Rainbow Dash flew up to him, still thoroughly exited to be back home. “Yeah, I know who lives here! Come on!” She flew off extremely fast, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. We started in the direction she went, until we heard a southern accent exclaim “Rainbow Dash?! I darn thought you were missing! (If I suck with the accent, please tell) “Judging from that, we should hide. Like, NOW.” We went in three separate directions, me climbing the closest tree and hiding in the leaves. Through them, I could see Rainbow Dash coming back with an orange pony, with a farmers hat on it’s head. “Dash, there are no such things as humans. You know as well as anypony that they’re only ponytales. Whatever the hay happened, I reckon you were dreaming, or had your head hit on somethin’.” “I’m telling you, Applejack! I saw them with my own eyes, and it was only a few minutes ago! They’re still here, I know it! They were slow, so they might be farther back, but they exist!” Applejack groaned. “For the last time, humans don’t…” A crack, rustling leaves, and a cry of “CRAP!” told me that Jay had fallen about two seconds before he hit the ground. Applejack and Dash jumped back in surprise. Jay got up and brushed himself off. “Shoulda hid behind it instead. Ow. At least I didn’t land on my…OOF!” Applejack had given Jay a sharp kick in the chest, and he actually flew back a few feet. As old instincts kicked in, I had pulled out the knife I kept in my pocket, jumped out, and landed squarely on the orange pony’s back, knocking her over, and putting the blade to her throut. “Bad move.” “What the hay are you doing?!?!” Rainbow Dash screamed. It took me a few seconds to realize what I was doing. I looked at Applejack, and the face she had on her made Dash look like she was smiling when she first saw us. I got off of her and put the knife back in my pocket. “Sorry, instinct.” I looked over where Jay landed, and Spencer was helping him up. “Aren’t you even going to hit her?” Jay was breathing hard, and I don’t blame him for wanting revenge. “No, no I’m not. I doubt that we can even ask where we are at this point.” I looked back over at Applejack, and Rainbow Dash was trying to help her up, which she was refusing. “I reckon I can get up myself, Dash.” She was still shaking from what I had just done, an I think I would too if I were a pony and an alien did that to me. “Sorry about doing that, but when you live on the streets for half your life, you kinda get protective of family. We’ll leave if you want us to.” “No way! We get sent to another dimension, and you’re saying we gotta go and fend for ourselves?!” Jay was now ten times more mad at me than at Applejack. “Don’t worry sugercube. If ya’ll didn’t mean any real harm, then I ain’t gonna ride you out for it.” All three of us were stunned that she would even look at us, more or less offer us a place to stay. “You….really…holy crap, we lucked out. I thought you would go get someone to take us out.” An extreme mood swing, but hey, we were just spared a nomadic lifestyle. “So, are we deep in here or…” “Actually, we aren't that far from the barn. I’ll help carry your brother. Sorry about bucking ya.” Applejack apologized. “S’ok. But if anything’s broken, you better know a good doctor.” _____________________________________________________ This line now represents scene transition, as Jay forgot half the stuff that happened, and Spence goes into extensive detail, which I’m not repeating We arrived at the barn in about twelve minutes. It took longer because we had to help Jay, as he had been hit really hard. He actually described it like being hit by a tank. “Well, you gotta be strong to buck all these apple trees. And I’ve been doin it for a long time now.” It was a normal barn, full of hay, apples, and farm stuff (Excluding animals). “Well, it ain’t much, but I guess we’re gonna crash here for a while, at least until we find a way back home.” Jay sat on a pile of hay near the barn doors. “I hate to burst your bubble, but unless unicorns live here as well, our chances of getting home are zip.” Spencer was right. Only magic could return us to earth, and the only magical thing that could be friendly here were unicorns. “Hey, maybe Twilight could help you guys!” Rainbow Dash said. “What, THAT god-awful book series? Yea right.” Jay said, rolled his eyes at her. “Twilight could be somebody…er, somePONIES name, retard.” I was near kicking Jay myself. “Yea, Twilight is our egghead friend. Since she always has her nose in a book, she might be able to help you guys.” “SCORE! We are going to be out of here by tomorrow! And considering how late it is, that ain’t long!” Jay would’ve jumped for joy, but the cut on his leg wouldn’t let him. “Uh-oh! Is it that late already?” Applejack looked panicked. “Yea, why? You a werewolf or something?” I said. “No, mah little sister Applebloom has her friends over, and their gonna sleep in here.” “No prob! We just hide, that’s all! They wont see head or hide of us.” Jay said, diving into the pile of hay he was on. “Think you got the saying wrong, but who cares anyways?” Spencer shrugged. “Well’ if ya’ll ain’t seen by nopony then- wait, where’d Colin go?” “Up here!” I was tight roping across the rafters, a place no one would look. “How’d you get up there?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Not telling.” “Fine. But if any of them come to me telling me about a monster in the barn, all three of ya are gonna get bucked.” ________________________________________________________________________ After we ate (It was only apples, but they were DAMN good), we set up in the barn behind an enormous pile of hay, and Applejack brought three fillies into the barn. Rainbow Dash was with them, as Applejack offered for her to stay. One was an orange Pegasus with a purple mane, one a white unicorn with pink and purple hair, and the last was yellow earth pony with red hair and a huge hair ribbon. “Wow Applebloom, this is going to be the best night ever! And tomorrow we even get to go apple bucking!” “I know Scootaloo, It’s gonna be SO fun!” “You said it, Sweetie Belle!” “Well, now we know what to call them.” Jay said. “Not that we’ll be saying anything to them.” The five of them trotted to the middle of the barn, and Dash and the fillies put down sleeping bags. Dash knew where we were, so it was good having her here to drive them away from this spot. “Well, ya’ll have fun then!” Applejack said as she left. “Hey! Why don’t we try to do something to get our cutie marks while we’re here?” Scootaloo was bouncing around while saying this. “Yeah!” The two others replied. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!!” “Ow.” They were possibly the loudest thing we ever heard. They played around for about an hour, almost finding us twice. After that they finally started settling down. “Well girls, that was fun, but now we’ve got to get some shut eye.” “Awwww! But we aren’t even *yawn* tierd.” The three of them were definitely sleepy. But that changed in a second. A loud howl came from the far end of the barn, and the fillies screamed in terror. “They have to stop screaming.” Jay said. Just then, a wolf like creature came out of the darkness, growling at the four ponies. “Don’t worry girls, I’ll protect us!” Rainbow Dash was about to lunge at the thing, but I was way ahead of her. I had already snuck through the darkness, grabbed a (very conveniently placed) axe, and thrown it. The axe connected with the beast, lodging itself in it’s side. I was expecting blood, but the creature was made out of wood (I’m getting really lucky, aren’t I?). The beast yowled in pain and fear and ran out of the barn, back into the forest. “Sorry Dash, but you‘ll need a better reaction time.” It then hit me that the three fillies were standing, wide eyed and opened mouthed, at what had just happened. Over where we were hiding I heard Jay say “Well, we’re bucked!” END CHAPTER 2 A/N Is obvious joke obvious? Anyways, the mysterious teleportation and superfast stair running will be explained in Chapter So STOP WHINING THAT I HAVE AN EGO BOOST. And this is (most likely) the only heroic act I will ever pull off. Unicorns and ApplebuckingCHAPTER 3: The bookie unicorn It took a while, but after a lot of questions, me and Dash managed to explain everything to the three fillies. Jay and Spencer had come out now, and were adding to my explanation. Well, Spencer was. Jay was sleeping on a pile of hay, as he already knew what happened. “Wait, so mah sisters gonna get mad at you now?” Applebloom didn’t seem to want her sister to do anything to us, even if we were humans. “Well she said ‘If any of them come running in telling me there’s a weird creature in the barn, you’re gonna get bucked’, or something like that. Considering none of you went in yet, I’d say we’re safe.” Spencer calmed Applebloom with these words. “But what if that Timberwolf comes back? Shouldn’t we tell AJ about it?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Nah. I’ll just run it out again. Hey, do you have a chainsaw? That would work wonders on a wolf made out of wood. Anyways, it’s getting late. We should really go to bed now.” After assuring the fillies that the Timberwolf wouldn’t come back, they finally went to sleep. It took us a little longer, but we also fell asleep. “What the hay are you doing?” I lazily opened one eye. Applejack was standing over me, and she did NOT look happy. “I thought ya’ll woulda followed orders and stayed hidden!” I yawned and stretched before replying. “It’s hard to stand down and watch a wood-wolf attack your sister. So I saved them. You can’t be mad at me for that. Don’t worry, me and Dash explained everything, they know what happened.” Everyone else started to wake up now. “Morning, AJ.” Jay said as he slid down from the pile of hay he was on. “Hey Jay, how’s your chest doin ya?” Jay smiled. “Actually, much better. Guess you didn’t break anything. By the way, we didn’t exactly get the name of where we are.” “You’re at Sweet Apple Acres, home of the finest apples in Ponyville!” Applejack said. She looked extremely proud of the fact too. “But, how’d ya save mah sister from a Timberwolf?” “Easily. By the way, you need a new axe.” I said, grinning. “Your old one got lodged in the thing, so it ran off with it.” Applejack looked surprised. “But Timberwolves are really ferocious!” I laughed. “Not when you start chopping them down! So, you said Twilight could help us. When do we meet her?” Rainbow Dash flew over to us. “Well, since you can’t go out in the open, she’ll have to come here. And I doubt that she will when I say ‘We found humans at AJ’s!’. Even if I did go to another dimension, she would never believe me.” “I’ll tell her. Since I’m the element of honesty, she’ll have to believe me. I’ll see you sugercubes in a little bit.” And with that, she headed towards Ponyville. “Oh, one last thing. I told Big Mac about you guys, and he said he’d teach you guys how to buck apples, since I’ll be gone.” She left after she said this. “Great, we still have to do chores, even if we are in another world! And who’s Big Mac?” We learned that one second later. A large red stallion with orange hair came in, and took us to the place we landed at. After showing us what Apple bucking is, we started to buck the weaker trees. I don’t know why, we’re plenty strong on our own. We went to the bigger trees a bit later, and Big Mac seemed surprised we could buck them. “It ain’t too hard. A swift, strong kick makes all the apples come down. It helps that we’re strong, too. Hey, when’s lunch? I’m starved!” ________________________________________________________________________ As it turns out, Applejack also told her grandma, Granny Apple, that we were here. So were able to talk to her as well as have complete access to the farm, since everypony there knew who we were. “Hey Dash, why did Applejack call herself the ‘element of honesty’?” Jay asked. Rainbow Dash stopped chugging the cider she had. “Well, all of my best friends have one of the elements of harmony, and AJ is the element of honesty.” “Elements of harmony?” Spencer seemed interested at this. “Yeah, there’s also the elements of magic, laughter, generosity, kindness, and, yours truly, loyalty.” Well, that must have been why she didn’t attack me after I attacked Applejack. Jay put that thought into words for me. “So is that why you didn’t try to kill Colin after he pinned Applejack?” I flinched, as well as nearly choked on the apple I was eating. Applejacks siblings were sitting right near us, and I don’t think they would let me stay if they knew that had happened. “Yup. But I didn’t know you lived on the streets. I met you guys at a house.” “Well, we only got the house recently. Two months ago, in fact. Before that we lived on the streets since we were six.” Applebloom jumped over to Jay with a worried expression. “Ya mean you ran away from home?” Spence answered this one. “No, our parents died in a house fire. It’s a good thing we lived near a market. Plenty of food, and no one’s gonna deny an orphan food. Some people offered to take us in, or take us to the orphanage, but we lived better on our own. It got really bad sometimes, living in an allyway. But we got through it, and here we are now.” Everyone seemed taken aback at this, as they weren’t expecting him to tell them our life story. Jay broke the silence easily enough. “Well, I’m bored. Are we gonna go back to apple bucking or what?” I just stared at him. “Nice transition. Being orphans to doing chores. You are such a moron.” That broke the ice a little. Everyone was chuckling, and that’s better than being sad for us. “Well, I’m bored too, so let’s go.” ________________________________________________________________________ Applejack had been gone a long time. I don’t know where Twilight lived, but she said she’d be back in a bit. I was about to go to find her, but then I heard her and another voice coming towards us. “Don’t worry, Twi. They ain’t mean or evil or anything. Just give ‘em a chance, and don’t be too surprised to see them.” Applejack came over the ridge that went through the field, and she was followed by a lavender unicorn with pink and purple striped hair, only with a small stripe of pink, and straighter than Sweetie belle’s. “Applejack, I know you’re the element of honesty, but the fact that Rainbow Dash has rescued by humans, and that they’re now living here is just way too unlikely to be true.” “Ah was telling Dash the same thing when one of ‘em landed right in front of me. Dash even told you herself. Ah don’t get why you just cant accept the fact the there really are humans here. Or why you had everypony meet us at your house.” Twilight shook her head. “If there really are humans, then we should either be ready to take them out, or try to make peace. If it goes well, I’ll request a meeting with Princess Celestia to see what to do with them.” Jay apparently heard the whole thing as well. “Well, at least there are no crappy politicians here.” Applejack and Twilight walked over to us, and Twilight looked a bit nervous. “Guys, this is Twilight Sparkle, or Twilight for short.” I knew that I would do a better job at an introduction than Jay, so I spoke first. “Hi Twilight. My name is Colin, and this is my brother Jay. Spencer is around here somewhere, but-” “So this is Twilight, I presume?” Twi jumped a little as Spencer walked up behind her. “Yea, but she seems awful jumpy. Not how I imagined her.” I gave Jay a look. “Jay, no one here has ever seen a human before, so It’s expected that she’s a bit nervous, especially since she thinks we’re a threat.” Twilight looked at me. “Wait, so you heard part of me and Applejack’s conversation?” I nodded. “Don’t worry, we aren’t gonna hurt anyone. Take us to your place if you want to, nothing bad will come of it.” I stared at Jay. “Probably.” Jay gave me a “Why are you looking at me?’ look. Twilight noticed this. “Why are you looking at him?” I looked back to Twi. “He causes about thirty percent of our problems. Anyways, how are we gonna get to your place? I’m sure everyone won’t be happy to see three humans walking around.” “Well, I know a teleportation spell, but I’m not very good with it. We may not get all the way there. Or worse…” Spencer stopped her. “At least try it. If we’re going to ever get out of here, we’ll need you, if not to but us back in our diminsion, then find someone who can.” Twilight smiled at him. “Ok, everypony stay close!” Twilight’s horn started glowing, and then exploded into a flash of white. When I could see again, we were standing in what seemed to be a library. “Well, I didn’t know that a library counted as a home, but who am I to judge?” Then, a voice from behind me said: “Well Twilight, who, or WHAT, are they supposed to be?” END CHAPTER 3 A/N How do you think it’s going so far? Please be honest, and no over the top rudeness. THE Chapter 4CHAPTER 4: The Mane Six There were three other ponies (and a tiny dragon) in the room with us, as well as Rainbow Dash. From the fancy-pants voice that spoke, it must have been the white unicorn with curled purple hair. She looked like one of earths fashion fanatics turned into a pony, as her hooves were even “hooficured”, if that’s what it was called here. “Care to introduce us, darling?” she said looking at Twilight. “Well, the one with the long black hair is Colin, the blonde one is Jay, and the one with silver hair is… Spencer, right?” Spencer nodded. “Yeah, they’re the ones that saved me from having to live in that other world!” Dash said. “If they didn’t show up, I’d still be stuck there!” A pink pony started to enthusiastically bounce around us, talking way too fast to understand. “OOHsotheysavedyouhuharetheyniceordidtheyonlywantyougonewhydonttheyhavecutiemarksOHdoyouthinktheylikecupcakes ohmygoshwevegottathrowthemaparty!” “Wait…I…what did she just say?” Jay wasn’t the only confused one. “Maybe I should introduce you guys to my friends.” Twilight said, giggling. “That’s Pinkie Pie.” “My god, does she always talk like that?” Jay asked. “Of course not, silly! Nopony would be able to understand me if I did!” Pinkie said, still bouncing around us like a ball. “Well can you not talk like that? And can you please walk? I’m getting dizzy watching you.” Pinkie landed on the floor, and actually stood in one place. “So what are you guys? You sure arent ponies!” “Actually, we’re humans. We were teleported here by a really weird storm. Hey Twilight, do you know anything about interdimentional travel?” Twilight looked at us with a very confused expression. “I’ll take that as a no.” Jay slumped onto one of the couches. “Now what are we gonna…” There was a tiny “Eep!” from under the couch Jay was on, causing him to jump. “THE HELL?!” A pink and yellow blur rushed out from under it and hid behind the white unicorn. “Before I ask what that was, I didn’t get your name, miss…? “Rarity, best fashion designer in Ponyville!” she exclaimed, looking very proud of herself. I hope she doesn’t have a gigantic ego, I thought. I also made a mental note to keep Jay from saying anything that would upset her, in case she’s also a drama queen. “Anyways, who just ran behind you?” Rarity turned to whoever it was that was behind her. “Don’t worry, Fluttershy, they aren’t monsters like Twilight said.” Jay sighed. “Great. One day here and we’re classified as monsters. Whoop-de- freakin-doo.” A yellow pony poked her head out from behind Rarity, still looking spooked. “Well, um, my name is… Fluttershy.” I thought that I had momentarily had trouble with my hearing. “Uh, I didn’t catch that. You’re who?” “Fluttershy.” Again, too soft. “A little louder please?” She shivered a little bit. “My name is Fluttershy.” Fluttershy? Well, that explains it then! Spencer seemed to have gotten it this time as well. “Fluttershy, huh? Don’t worry. Just like we told Dash, we aren’t here to cause trouble. We just want to get home.” Fluttershy seemed a little less scared now, and started to come out from behind Rarity. I guess Spence has a calming effect on people. I hope this helps to show that we don’t mean trouble. “But on the off chance we can’t?” Jay asked. Everyon….EveryPONY was silent for about a minute. “Live here?” I shrugged. It wasn’t a bad idea really, we just had to get the native people…PONIES to agree to that. Simple. Or so I thought. “Live here. In a place populated by pastel colored ponies. For the rest of our lives. When we-” I shoved my hand into Jay’s mouth. “OK, bad idea! You don’t need to elaborate on that. It was only a suggestion.” Jay smacked my hand away. “Yea, a stupid one.” “Well, do you have a better idea?” “Yea, just find the nearest forest! Enough food there!” “And wild animals!” “We’re surrounded by ponies! It cant be that bad!” “Do you really think only ponies live here?! Hell, there’s a DRAGON standing two feet away from you!” “A tiny one!” “A tame one!” “STOP FIGHTING!!!” Everypony in the room jumped at the outburst, then turned to it’s source with wide eyes. Fluttershy. She stepped back a little. “Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to-” Spencer motioned for her to stop. “Don’t worry. The only way you can tear those two apart is to do that.” Jay glared at him. “And Colin raises a good point. If we just live here, then everything will be much more simple. Although, I don’t think a town of ponies are going to accept three aliens, even IF we’re friendly.” “Well, maybe Princess Celestia will either know how to get you back to your planet, or find a way to help you fit into pony society. Spike, take a letter.” The little purple dragon (Spike, apparently) found a quill and a piece of paper. “Dear Princess Celestia…..” ________________________________________________________________________ It took about an hour, but the princess finally wrote back. At least it wasn’t a boring hour. Jay and Dashie (That’s what Pinkie called her) were talking about sports, but since the only thing she talked about were flying and Hoofball, Jay started to explain to a starry eyed Dash the hundreds of sports humans played. Spencer was just striking up conversation with most of the others. When I say most, I mean me and Pinks (NICKNAMES FTW) were mindlessly jabbering on about whatever. “So that’s how I peeved an entire town, thus forcing us to move.” Pinkie was laughing hard, and I was chuckling too. Who knew a banana and a pack of chewing gum could do so much? “Hahahahaha, that has to be the FUNNIEST thing I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot!” Pinkie then pulled a hanky out of nowhere, wiping away her tears. “Wait, where did that come from?” “What, this?” She asked, showing me the hanky. “Sorry, I can’t tell. It’s a SECRET.” I just stared. “Promise I won’t tell.” “Pinkie Promise?” “What?” “Oh right, you’re new here!” She whacked herself on the head. “Silly Pinkie!” “So what’s a Pinkie Promise?” She then started gesturing. “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Well, seemed easy enough. “And you can NEVER break a Pinkie promise, OR ELSE.” And there’s the catch. I tilted my head. “Else what?” She just smiled. “Secret!” I copied her. “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Now pleheheheeeeese tell me!” She paused and rubbed her chin for a minute, then smiled and said “Okie Dokie Loki!” Fist pump. “So, how-” “Bad news everypony.” Twilight said. And cue the happy killer. “It looks like Celestia doesn’t know anything about interdimentional travel.” End Chapter 4 A/N: Now you know why I’ve been weird. Apparently, I’ve got some random in me. Time to learn from the master. PP: Are you ready, young grasshopper? Teach me, sensei. TO BE CONTINUED… Challenger Approching?Chapter 5: Solutions Seconds passed as everyone just stood there, dumbstruck at the news. Yes, even Pinkie. The princess, and (as I had overheard) goddess of the sun, had no knowledge on how to send us home, let alone where home was. “So, let me get this straight.” Spencer said. “The princess of Equestria, goddess of the sun, and most powerful pony in the world, has no idea how to get us back?” Twilight nodded. “But she DID give me something that could help you blend in!” She looked back at the scroll for a few seconds, then rolled it back up. “Ok, Colin, go stand against that wall.” I just shrugged and went over to it. “Alright, I’ve never used this spell before, and I really have no other options, so hope that you cant still move after this.” Ruh roh. “Wait wha-” There was a flash of purple, and everything went black… I regained consciousness, but after watching and reading a few things, I deduced that my eyes should stay closed. I probably couldn’t open them if I wanted to, it hurt so much. I just groaned instead. “Hey, I think he’s waking up!” I heard footsteps coming close to me. “Are you ok?” “Depends, should it feel like I was run over by a tank?” Multiple sighs of relief. “Well, the description said that if preformed wrong, you would be disintegrated, so it did work.” “Good. Now what did it do?” Jay’s voice answered. “Well, you shrunk, grew much, much more hair, and now you have a horn.” Loading. Loading. Done. “I’m a pony, aren’t I?” “Yup.” I finally opened my eyes, and sat up. I was sitting eye to eye with Twilight. “Can I have a mirror? I can’t trust him.” Twi’s horn glowed, and a mirror floated in front of my face. Yes, I was a pony. When I was human, I was wearing a white jacket, black shirt, blue jeans, and an orange bandanna, the last thing my father ever gave me. My hair was on the long side, and black in color. Now, the only thing that told me I had been me was a white coat, my blue eyes, and the bandanna. My hair? Green. Dark and light. I ran my hoof through it. “Well, the hair is an improvement. I always wanted green hair.” Twilight smiled. “Well, at least you like your new look.” I stood up, which really wasn‘t that hard. And now the fun part. “Ok, now can anyone show me how I’m supposed to walk?” After a lot of trying and failing (and Jay dieing with laughter), I was able to walk, and trot at a reasonable speed. “Alright, your turn Jay.” “Can’t I just stay inside?” “Awww, are you worried your manhood won’t be intact?” “Beam me.” After another blinding flash, a green Pegasus with a yellow mane was left sprawled on the floor. His hair was still yellow and unkempt, but now he had a green coat. Maybe it was because he was wearing cameo jeans. He opened his eyes, which were still hazel, and upon seeing me, sneered. “I thought you said that it felt like getting hit by a tank.” “Well, I modified the spell a little, so it wouldn’t hurt.” “Oh.” Jay lost his smug grin, and adopted a pouting face. “Yea, you probably couldn’t take it anyways.” I smirked. He instantly jumped to his hooves, glaring at me. “What was that?” “I said you probably couldn’t take the pain. Problem?” “Bet you can’t take the pain of me beating your sorry ass!” Another purple flash. “Both of you shut up.” I turned at the voice. Spencer now stood there as an Earth pony, his grey hair, green eyes, and black vest still there. He hade a dark blue coat, and a bemused expression on his face. “How come I’m the youngest, but have more manners than both of you combined?” “Cause you’re a momma’s boy.” After Spence bucked him into the far wall, he turned to me. “Looks like we’ll be living here.” I looked at Jays unconscious form. “Yea, whether we like it or not.” _____________________________________________________________ After Jay woke up, we decided where we would be staying. I was staying at Twilight’s, and since I’m a unicorn, I get to make “Da Magicks”. Spencer would be at Fluttershy’s, as he’s actually very good with animals. And, after a unanimous (Me, Spence, Rainbow, and Pinkie) vote, he was sentenced to one week at Sugercube Corner, instead of learning how to fly. After Jay was dragged out (at several times the speed of sound), everyone went their separate ways, and I was left alone in the library with Twi. When I turned back to her, she had a smile that rivaled Pinkie’s. “Twilight, wha-” “You have to tell me everything about where you came from!” Shoulda seen that one coming. A few pieces of paper, an ink bottle, and a quill zoomed over to her, covered in a violet aura. “First off, how do you move the clouds if none of your race have wings?” “Uh, we don’t.” Twilight just stared at me. “You mean you just let the clouds float in one place all the time?” “No, the wind carries them. You mean ponies can move clouds?” “Y-yes. The wind carries them?” “Uh huh. It’s not natural for clouds to move on their own here?” “No. Only pegasi can move the clouds.” “Would that mean they can touch clouds?” “Yes.” “The clouds were I’m from are just thick water vapor. You can’t touch them.” I can’t say how Twilight looked at this moment in time. Confused? No, more…whatty. Dumbstruck. No, still too knowing. FLABBERGHASTED… no, no. Damn, I can’t find a word for it. “But…the only place where clouds move on their own is…” “Is…where?” She pointed out the window to a large forest just outside of town. “…the Everfree Forest.” Looking at her again, showed she actually seemed a bit frightened. “Does your world have any monsters in it?” “Well, there are a few, but no on has really seen them. The ones that do, usually get killed by said monsters, or are too terrified to remember what it looked like. Take Slenderman, for example…” _______________________ Short line means changing POV now. Remember what I said about Jay forgetting everything? LIES. Do you know what being dragged at a hundred miles an hour feels like? Ask Pinkie if you can have a tour of the town, and you’ll know. This from experience. After the “tour”, we arrived at Sugercube Corner. I wish I was at Rainbows house. Then maybe I could lean to fly. My god, this week is going to either drive me insane, kill me, or both. We walked in, and were greeted by a lone pony working the register. “Hi, Misses Cake!” “Oh, hello Pinkie. Who is that with you?” While I am an idiot (at least to my siblings) I do know how to treat a woman. “Name’s Jay, nice to meet you. Hold on a sec.” I walked over to the window, opened it, and emptied my stomach. After I had done that, I walked back to them. “Agh, who knew you could get jet lag on the ground?” Mrs. Cake looked worried. “Pinkie, did you give him the ‘quick’ version of the tour?” “Of course I did! We had to get here really-super-duper quickly so we could make cupcakes for his pa-” Pinkie quickly shoved her hoof into her mouth. “My what?” Pinkie looked away. “Your…uh…palate, silly! I mean, you just lost your breakfast, so your probably really hungry!” “Well, yes, that’s what happens when you hurl. Alright, lead the way.” __________________________________ Meanwhile, on Earth… A girl stepped into the house, eying the damages the weird storm had caused, her slick ginger hair flowing in the wind coming from the broken windows. “Geez, you think they would know how to prepare for the storm. Well, at least Spencer would.” She sighed. “But from the traces of magic around this area, something must have happened.” The girl pulled out a blank sheet of paper, and unfolded it. “I need the current whereabouts of my brothers. Can you find them?” Ink swirled around the page forming a strange writing style. It read; She furrowed her brow. “Equestria? I’ve never heard of a place like that.” Her eyes moved to the Pegasus shaped crater on the wall. “Equestria, equine, of course! How could I be this dense?” She closed her eyes, focusing. Do you think this will really work?! That voice was Spencer’s. Then another one replied. I have no idea! Colin. Her open palm met her face. “Idiot.” TO BE CONTINUED… A/N: Mystery character! I wonder how this will go. Two things are for sure here; 1: I’m not the leader of this pack (yet >:D) 2: Someone’s bound to get hurt Let’s hope it’s not me… Reunion and a messageCHAPTER 6: A wild Vinyl appears! A week had passed, and we met back at the library. Jay usually came to me saying that life at Sugercube Corner was torture, then slipped up and said something about enjoying it, after which he left too quickly for me to scrutinize him. Spencer, however, never actually left Fluttershy’s property. I know, because after telling Twilight about Slendy, she made me do more errands than Spike. She was probably just scared I would tell her about the other horrors our world has, like Justin Beiber. Hell, she couldn’t even sleep the night after I told her. But I digress. Me and Twi were waiting for everypony to get back so they could either stay with their “caretakers”, or go someplace else. While I had been with Twi, I had touched up on the chaos theory, which helped me when Pinkie was training me in the art of random. Jay had actually learned to cook something without burning it, even if most of it was sweets. And, as mentioned, no one had seen Spence. I was lounging, very bored, on a chair. Most of that boredom was from being unable to pester Jay all week. Twilight was higher up in the library, and Spike was doing errands. I looked at the clock. 12:05. Pinkie and Jay were late, and every second was like and hour. Damn you, boredom, why must you be so horribly torturing?! Just as I was going to start looking for them, Jay and Pinkie walked through the door. Well, Jay was, anyways. “Miss us?” “Yea, I haven’t hit you in a week! COME ‘ERE!” We were about to throw punches, but we were caught by a lavender aura. Curses, foiled again! “Is this how all humans greet each other? I don’t think I would like to visit your planet if it is.” Jay just laughed. “No, this is our little dysfunctional family way. Humans don’t just punch someone walking through the-” I broke out of the paralysis spell and hit him square in the jaw. “By the way, I have magic now. Have fun trying to-” He had kicked me in the face before I finished. “Well I’m faster, so good luck with that.” I replied with good uppercut, adding “SHORYUKEN!!!” for emphasis. He just lied there, looking at me stupidly. “No you ain’t.” He just gave me an indifferent look. Twilight sighed. “Well I feel sorry for your family. Now if you could stop fighting, lunch is on the table.” After we had finally agreed not to attack each other until Spence got here, we sat down and ate. That peace only lasted five minutes. When we were done, me and Jay just sat and waited for Spencer. You can make us agree not to fight, but it’s gonna take a hell lot more to make us do something other than wait until we can. Luckily, as I’ve learned, Ponyville just won’t let you sit still. The door was flung open, and a white mare raced over to Twilight. “QUICK! I need a spell that can summon stallions!” Me, Jay, and Twi just stared at her. “Well, someone seems desperate.” After the mare knocked Jay out with a blow to the chest, she gave Twi the puppy dog eyes, accompanied with a little ‘squee’. “Sorry Vinyl, but I can’t just summon up stallions.” The mare, Vinyl, sat down and began pouting. “But, there are two stallions already here! One of which you knocked out…oh, Jay! Are you ok?” Jay had gotten up, but was still wobbly. “Oof, someone get the number of that truck?” Vinyl ran up and hugged him. Dear god, she IS desperate! “I am really, reallyreallyreally sorry, now could you possible do something for me?” “Does it involve being in bucking range?” “Yes.” “No.” Another buck to the chest. Dang, this was not a good week for him. She turned to me, again using puppy dog eyes. “You don’t need to look at me like that, hitting him put you on good terms with me.” Jay had gotten up again. Well, at least he’s durable. “Har har.” After giving him a smirk, I turned back to Vinyl. “So, what need?” _____________________________________________________________ “I can’t believe you just agreed to that.” I griped. We were walking down to Sweet Apple Acres, the place where a contest, the Sibling stand-off, was being held. The road was flanked by many large apple trees, as well as the occasional bucket. “Agreed to what?” Vinyl asked innocently. “Agreeing to be our sister, LEGALLY, may I add, for a little contest?” Oh yeah. Colin decided that if she was asking about being siblings foe one day, why not forever? He's stupider than me sometimes. Unless... She shrugged. “Well, I always did want some other family besides mom, and I guess today is a lucky day for me! Besides, I would have asked anyways when this “little contest” was over. He just happened to ask sooner. By the way, why DID you want me to be your sister, just out of curiosity?” Vinyl couldn’t see it from the side she was on, but Colin’s ear twitched a little. More noticeable, however, was that he stopped walking. “Vinyl, are you absolutely sure you want to know the answer to that?” “Of course I do! Lay it on me!” _____________________________________________________________ “So, they’re not even in this universe anymore?” “Correct.” “And you want me to help you find them…why?” “BECAUSE that was a ONE WAY PORTAL, DUMBASS!” “Whoa, easy with that sword!” “Now listen. You are OUR brother, and I don’t care that we’ll be stuck there for an eternity, I will drag you though that thing tied and gagged if I have to!” “Hey, it was just a joke, honest!” “Good. Now get your pasty white butt into that portal.” “Yes, Medusa.” “What?” “NOTHING!” AN/ You already know the story, so I’m not gonna repeat it. And holy balls, whoever that is, they’re violent!!!! Hope we don’t meet…. The Devil HerselfChapter 7: The Devil Herself Vinyl looked at us with a sorrowful look. “That’s horrible…” We had just told her the story of our life, from our parents deaths, to our lives on the streets, to arriving in Equestria. “Yeah, our life was crap until recently.” I said. I took a bit of effort to restrain myself from crying after having to talk about it again, but it worked. “So, the reason you asked me to be your sister is because you need somepony to take their place?” If I had fists, they would be clenched. But that tension evaporated quickly. She was family now, and until she was ready, I would not fight her like I do Jay. “No. I don’t know why, but it just feels right to have you as a sister.” Vinyl chuckled. “If you’re going to go all philosopher on me, I WILL cover my ears and repeat the word ‘blah’ over and over again.” “Well, if you two are done bonding, we’re here.” Jay was right. We had made it back to where we started this new life, Sweet Apple Acres. A board that read “Sibling Stand-off” was pegged on the front lawn, with four events listed. They were: Egg toss Rodeo Strength Contest Agility Contest Tag Race We walked over to a little yellow filly with a big red bow, who was signing ponies up for the competition. Vinyl smirked and trotted briskly over to her, then looked back at us. “Well boys, let’s win this thing!” _____________________________________________________________ “Wow, we were BAD at that.” “You can say that again.” Not being used to pony bodies, me and Jay came in sixth place in every event. At least we weren’t the worst out of twelve teams. We were walking through Ponyville square, nearing the library. “Well, I bet Spence is here now, so we can introduce you to him.” Jay said. He opened the door and we all walked in. Spencer was there all right, but there was someone else, too. Sitting on one of the chairs rested a human with blue, anime style hair, a yellow shirt, and a pair of faded blue jeans. Vinyl gasped, alerting him of our presence. What happened next, she never would have expected. “Jay!” “Ryan!” Jay ran up and hugged him, Ryan returning it. “It’s been too long! Why haven’t you come to see us sooner, you prick?” Ryan laughed. “You mean here, or on Earth?” The two practically dancer around together, leaving a very confused mare right next to me. “Who…I…what the buck just happened?!” Spencer walked over to us. “So, this is the new addition, huh? Nice to meet you, I’m Spencer.” “Uh huh. Now can you explain this to me?” Spencer chuckled. “Well, you didn’t tell her we were humans, Colin?” I laughed. “No, not yet. But she knows now!” Vinyl shook herself out of her trance. “You mean all three of you used to look like that?!” She pointed a hoof at Ryan. “Yup.” Was the only response I gave her. Ryan and Jay finished celebrating. “Hey, Vinyl! I want you to meet our brother, Ryan! How did you get here anyways?” "Well, I-” His sentence was cut off by someone entering the room from the kitchen and saying “OK, guys, soups up!” Jay’s and my jaws dropped. Standing in the doorway was the single most terrifying thing to ever exist. She had flowing amber hair, wore a jean jacket with a sky blue shirt underneath, and a pair of black sweats. She stood there, looking like the embodiment of the devil. The only things that came out of our mouths was a scream. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!” We dashed towards the door hoping to escape, but we were caught in a field of orange magic. The girl flicked her finger towards her, surrounded by the same glow, making us float over to her. “Is that any way to treat your younger sister?” “But you hit us.” Jay whimpered. “A lot.” I added. She ‘tsk’ed at us. “Only because you two are idiots so much. The glow around her hand vanished, and we hit the floor. “Please don’t kill us.” We begged. She giggled. “Why? From what Spence told me, you two were helping a pony by the name of ‘Rainbow Dash’ get home. I don’t see a reason to kill you two for that.” We let out relived breaths. She wasn’t going to maim us! “Ok, I still have no idea what’s going on here!” Vinyl yelled. The girl looked over to her. “Oh, sorry, my name is Amber. I’m these two knucklehead’s sister. Nice to meet you, miss…” “Vinyl, Vinyl Scratch.” She said. “Why are those two afraid of you?” She smiled. “Because I’m the only one who can beat them up without consequence.” Vinyl backed away a little. “O…K…then.” “Don’t worry, I’m not just going to go around hitting people.” Vinyl looked really uneasy. “Uh, yeah, about that…” “What?” “Would you kill them if they had, oh, I don’t know, made me their sister?” Amber looked confused. “Depends. Would you have asked them anyways?” Vinyl had a look of relief on her face. “Yup.” “Well then, I guess they’re lucky, aren’t they?” Me and Jay poked our heads over the couch we had hidden behind. “Thank god she would have asked, or we would be in lots of-” Amber grabbed us both by the necks and threw us out the window. “But I still have to kill you two FOR NOT WAITING FOR ME!!!” Spencer sighed. “Guess we won’t see them for the next week, then.” “Yup.” Ryan said. “Let’s hope that she doesn’t find them.” “I pray to Celestia she doesn’t.” Vinyl added. Twilight walked out of the kitchen. “I heard screaming! Is everypony OK?” Ryan and Spencer nodded. “Eeyup.” Vinyl facehoofed.

Chapter the firstCHAPTER 1: The portal It was a nice summer afternoon where I was (I say that cause I forget where I was), and I was napping in the sun behind my house. This was normal routine, at least until Spencer, my brother, told me to come back in. Considering I’m older, I should be ordering him around. But it’s not what I do. Anyhow, I was just relaxing as normal, until a sudden rainstorm came out of nowhere, and I wasn’t a fan of getting rained on, so I went in. Spencer and Jay, my other younger brothers (Actually, I’m only older than them now. Jay’s birthday is in may, and Spencer was born in august), were in the attic, going through all the old junk we had. So I thought I’d join then, for boredoms sake. This story is told from multiple points of view, so I put this line here to show the transition. (Spencer’s point of view) “Why do we have so much crap up here anyways?” I said. We honestly kept EVERYTHING we had. “Cause it could be USEFUL, Spence. Even though most of it’s broken.” Jay replied. He was holding up a half of a cartwheel, which I didn’t think we had. “Where’d that come from?” I asked. “Tahiti.” He said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. We were only up here because the door to the attic broke under the weight of the stuff in here. Which is not good considering the ladder was attached to it. We had a hell of a time getting up here, and god knows how we’ll get this stuff down, but we’ll manage. “HEY, look at this!” Jay had just pulled out our grandfather’s sword. “I forgot we had this thing! Now I just need a way to…” “We aren’t gonna use it, stupid. One, it’s old. Two, it’s dangerous. And three, you’ve never wielded a sword before. How are you gonna use it?” “…..well, crap…I’ll teach myself that’s hOW!” Jay made a shallow cut across his leg swinging the sword around. “Nice going, dumbass. You’ve proven two of my points. Now put the thing down!” He’s not always this stupid, but he does have his moments. “Well that’s Jay for you. Dumb as a rock and hollow as a shell!” I turned around. Colin was standing behind me, laughing at Jay’s idiocy. “Aw, shut up and help us!” Jay yelled. “Yes, King Dunce. Right away!” I laughed at this one. Jay was a good sport, and was chuckling at this as well. “Anyways, what have I missed other than Jay cutting himself open?” Just then, there was a loud clang outside, thoroughly startling us. “The crap was that?” Jay asked. “I dunno, but I’ll see.” Colin rushed downstairs, and considering the ladder was out, that was an impressive feat. Then again, he never failed to amaze us with the stuff he did, like hold off a band of muggers with a half broken baseball bat. I ran downstairs, careful not to make too much noise so whatever was making the noise couldn’t hear that it was noticed. I got to the front yard, and the trash can was knocked over. I was about to go back inside after assuming whatever it was left, until I heard crying behind it. I crept towards it, and looking over the can I saw ( I had to pinch myself to see if I was awake, which I was) a cyan pony with rainbow colored hair. (Don’t ask me how that fits together) I knew that it PROBLY wouldn’t come with me if I asked. Long story short, it’s a good thing Jay always forgets to put things away. I picked up the shovel, and, making my way back, gave the pony a solid THWACK to the head. “I’m going to hell for that.” I said after making sure that it was unconscious. I carried it back to the house, and set it on the couch. “So, did you find what made the noise or was it go-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!” Jay had walked in and saw the creature. “A pony. DUH!” “Do ponies have wings?” I just now noticed this. The pony had two feathery wings at its sides. “Then it’s a Pegasus. I don’t see what’s….oh wait, aren’t they supposed to not exist?” “How are you not surprised by this?” Jay asked. Although this wasn’t the first time I thought something unnatural was normal, like with the ghost, he was still surprised that I wasn’t as freaked as him. “Well get Spencer. He’s the one who seems to know about everything.” “Too late.” Spencer walked in, a lot more calm than Jay was. “Why is there a Pegasus on the couch, and unconscious at that?” I explained how I had found it, and knocked it out with the shovel. “Wow. You know you’re…” “Going to hell, I know. But I’m sure it wouldn’t have agreed to come with me, even if we were going to help it.” I said. “Help it?! You’re not suggesting we help it back to wherever, are we? That would be the WORST possible course of action! Why not call animal control?” “Aaaaand the prize for idiot of the year goes to….JAY! What the hell would animal control do? Put it in a shelter?” Spencer seemed stupefied that Jay would even suggest that. “Nah. They’ll probably kill it. Or put it in a zoo. Either or.” Jay was right. It would probably be sent to a zoo so kids could throw peanuts at it. “I think it’s waking up.” I looked at the pony and, sure enough, it seemed like it was stirring. “Should we leave and let it wake up?” “No, that’s stupid. It’ll probably run off. It has to stay here until we figure out why it’s here, or at least where it came from.” “Ugh…where am I?” The Pegasus was conscious now, but the impact of the shovel must have knocked up it’s brain. “Hey, you alright? We found you outside.” Spencer said. I think he was trying not to be too tense, in case this thing was not willing to talk, but instead try to kill us. It just sat there for a few seconds, staring at us. “WAH!!!” All three of us jumped as it screamed and rocketed away from us, and into the wall, making a small crater. “Uh….was that actually necessary?” “Jay, you are SUCH a moron.” I said walking over to the creature. It hugged the wall, almost looking like it thought it was the end. “You ok? That looked like it hurt.” “I-I’m fine.” It said. Judging from the voice, it was a female. “Well, that’s impressive. You can run into walls really fast, and it doesn’t hurt?” Jay now seemed interested with her rather than wanting to get rid of her. “Any who, we don’t know your name. You do have one, right?” “M-my name is R-rainbow Dash.” She said. “Fitting, considering your mane. And you can stop stuttering and shying away from me. We aren’t going to hurt you.” That seemed to calm her down a bit. “Where are you from?” I asked. Maybe we could help with this part. “Equestria. Have you ever heard of it?” Silence. “Um…ok. Equestria. Never heard of it. Maybe if you tell us how you got here, we could help you return.” “Well, I was sent to investigate a really weird storm, being on the weather team and all. It looked like a tornado, but skinnier and taller. I got sucked into it, and it put me here.” Spencer’s eyes widened. “Did the storm happen to be multicolored?” An unusual question, but we were unusual people. “Yes. It was.” Rainbow Dash seemed a bit hopeful at this. “It was an interuniversal vortex. They appear every one million years, in two random universes. They act as portals, sending things to both universes from the other. That must be why you’re here.” Again, Spencer is educated in pretty much everything, but this amazed both us and Dash. “How do you learn about these things?” Jay asked. I had to agree there. “Since you never read I guess you won’t know this stuff.” I had no idea you could find a book about universal storms. I should try that sometime. But, helping Rainbow Dash came first, whether I liked it or not. “Wait…the storm here came out of nowhere! Maybe the interuniversal storm is around here!” “Really?!” Rainbow seemed overjoyed. “’Coarse,” Colin said, “we just have to find it, get you in it, and BANG! You’re home! That is how it works, right Spence?” That seemed like a long shot, but it probably was true. “Yes, it should work like that.” “We’re spared the trouble of finding it, because IT”S OUTSIDE!” I was looking out the window, and no sooner than the conversation finished, the storm was (very fortunately) coming down the street. “Well we better get moving then!” Colin said, jumping towards the door. It was still about a few hundred yards away, but the wind was still really strong. That’s why it was stupid that we were standing outside, all four of us. Spencer said something, but I couldn’t hear him. Suddenly, the storm seemed to launch itself at us, catching us in the swirling wind. The last thing I thought before I lost consciousness was: Well, at least Dash is getting home. Even if we’re going too. Since I’m using this for school, I need a moral. And that is that you should always help people, no matter what crap happens to you. RD: Well? Aren’t you going to tell the rest of the story? Me: Patience, Dash. It’s a long story, and I’m going to need multiple chapters to tell it. RD: Then when are you going to tell the second chapter? Me: I don’t know. It will be done though END CHAPTER 1
We aren't in Kansas anymoreChapter 2: Equestria, HO! “Agh….why must gravity be a total bitch?” I had woken up after falling, I don’t know, from a REALLY large height. The last thing I remembered was that storm coming at us, and it doesn’t help that we had no idea where we were. Everyone else seemed to be awake, and Dash looked really happy. I mean REALLY HAPPY. “OHMYGODYESIMHOMEHAHAHA!” Jay looked at her weirdly. “You live in the middle of nowhere? No wonder you were surprised to see us.” Spencer gave Jay a look of annoyance. “We aren’t in the middle of nowhere. There’s a path near us, and those aren’t usually found in ’the middle of nowhere’. The trees are also too far apart to…” Jay stopped him there. “Fine, fine, don’t start lecturing me. Jeez. It does look like an apple orchard, though. And people usually own them, so we can find someone to tell us where we are.” Rainbow Dash flew up to him, still thoroughly exited to be back home. “Yeah, I know who lives here! Come on!” She flew off extremely fast, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. We started in the direction she went, until we heard a southern accent exclaim “Rainbow Dash?! I darn thought you were missing! (If I suck with the accent, please tell) “Judging from that, we should hide. Like, NOW.” We went in three separate directions, me climbing the closest tree and hiding in the leaves. Through them, I could see Rainbow Dash coming back with an orange pony, with a farmers hat on it’s head. “Dash, there are no such things as humans. You know as well as anypony that they’re only ponytales. Whatever the hay happened, I reckon you were dreaming, or had your head hit on somethin’.” “I’m telling you, Applejack! I saw them with my own eyes, and it was only a few minutes ago! They’re still here, I know it! They were slow, so they might be farther back, but they exist!” Applejack groaned. “For the last time, humans don’t…” A crack, rustling leaves, and a cry of “CRAP!” told me that Jay had fallen about two seconds before he hit the ground. Applejack and Dash jumped back in surprise. Jay got up and brushed himself off. “Shoulda hid behind it instead. Ow. At least I didn’t land on my…OOF!” Applejack had given Jay a sharp kick in the chest, and he actually flew back a few feet. As old instincts kicked in, I had pulled out the knife I kept in my pocket, jumped out, and landed squarely on the orange pony’s back, knocking her over, and putting the blade to her throut. “Bad move.” “What the hay are you doing?!?!” Rainbow Dash screamed. It took me a few seconds to realize what I was doing. I looked at Applejack, and the face she had on her made Dash look like she was smiling when she first saw us. I got off of her and put the knife back in my pocket. “Sorry, instinct.” I looked over where Jay landed, and Spencer was helping him up. “Aren’t you even going to hit her?” Jay was breathing hard, and I don’t blame him for wanting revenge. “No, no I’m not. I doubt that we can even ask where we are at this point.” I looked back over at Applejack, and Rainbow Dash was trying to help her up, which she was refusing. “I reckon I can get up myself, Dash.” She was still shaking from what I had just done, an I think I would too if I were a pony and an alien did that to me. “Sorry about doing that, but when you live on the streets for half your life, you kinda get protective of family. We’ll leave if you want us to.” “No way! We get sent to another dimension, and you’re saying we gotta go and fend for ourselves?!” Jay was now ten times more mad at me than at Applejack. “Don’t worry sugercube. If ya’ll didn’t mean any real harm, then I ain’t gonna ride you out for it.” All three of us were stunned that she would even look at us, more or less offer us a place to stay. “You….really…holy crap, we lucked out. I thought you would go get someone to take us out.” An extreme mood swing, but hey, we were just spared a nomadic lifestyle. “So, are we deep in here or…” “Actually, we aren't that far from the barn. I’ll help carry your brother. Sorry about bucking ya.” Applejack apologized. “S’ok. But if anything’s broken, you better know a good doctor.” _____________________________________________________ This line now represents scene transition, as Jay forgot half the stuff that happened, and Spence goes into extensive detail, which I’m not repeating We arrived at the barn in about twelve minutes. It took longer because we had to help Jay, as he had been hit really hard. He actually described it like being hit by a tank. “Well, you gotta be strong to buck all these apple trees. And I’ve been doin it for a long time now.” It was a normal barn, full of hay, apples, and farm stuff (Excluding animals). “Well, it ain’t much, but I guess we’re gonna crash here for a while, at least until we find a way back home.” Jay sat on a pile of hay near the barn doors. “I hate to burst your bubble, but unless unicorns live here as well, our chances of getting home are zip.” Spencer was right. Only magic could return us to earth, and the only magical thing that could be friendly here were unicorns. “Hey, maybe Twilight could help you guys!” Rainbow Dash said. “What, THAT god-awful book series? Yea right.” Jay said, rolled his eyes at her. “Twilight could be somebody…er, somePONIES name, retard.” I was near kicking Jay myself. “Yea, Twilight is our egghead friend. Since she always has her nose in a book, she might be able to help you guys.” “SCORE! We are going to be out of here by tomorrow! And considering how late it is, that ain’t long!” Jay would’ve jumped for joy, but the cut on his leg wouldn’t let him. “Uh-oh! Is it that late already?” Applejack looked panicked. “Yea, why? You a werewolf or something?” I said. “No, mah little sister Applebloom has her friends over, and their gonna sleep in here.” “No prob! We just hide, that’s all! They wont see head or hide of us.” Jay said, diving into the pile of hay he was on. “Think you got the saying wrong, but who cares anyways?” Spencer shrugged. “Well’ if ya’ll ain’t seen by nopony then- wait, where’d Colin go?” “Up here!” I was tight roping across the rafters, a place no one would look. “How’d you get up there?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Not telling.” “Fine. But if any of them come to me telling me about a monster in the barn, all three of ya are gonna get bucked.” ________________________________________________________________________ After we ate (It was only apples, but they were DAMN good), we set up in the barn behind an enormous pile of hay, and Applejack brought three fillies into the barn. Rainbow Dash was with them, as Applejack offered for her to stay. One was an orange Pegasus with a purple mane, one a white unicorn with pink and purple hair, and the last was yellow earth pony with red hair and a huge hair ribbon. “Wow Applebloom, this is going to be the best night ever! And tomorrow we even get to go apple bucking!” “I know Scootaloo, It’s gonna be SO fun!” “You said it, Sweetie Belle!” “Well, now we know what to call them.” Jay said. “Not that we’ll be saying anything to them.” The five of them trotted to the middle of the barn, and Dash and the fillies put down sleeping bags. Dash knew where we were, so it was good having her here to drive them away from this spot. “Well, ya’ll have fun then!” Applejack said as she left. “Hey! Why don’t we try to do something to get our cutie marks while we’re here?” Scootaloo was bouncing around while saying this. “Yeah!” The two others replied. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!!” “Ow.” They were possibly the loudest thing we ever heard. They played around for about an hour, almost finding us twice. After that they finally started settling down. “Well girls, that was fun, but now we’ve got to get some shut eye.” “Awwww! But we aren’t even *yawn* tierd.” The three of them were definitely sleepy. But that changed in a second. A loud howl came from the far end of the barn, and the fillies screamed in terror. “They have to stop screaming.” Jay said. Just then, a wolf like creature came out of the darkness, growling at the four ponies. “Don’t worry girls, I’ll protect us!” Rainbow Dash was about to lunge at the thing, but I was way ahead of her. I had already snuck through the darkness, grabbed a (very conveniently placed) axe, and thrown it. The axe connected with the beast, lodging itself in it’s side. I was expecting blood, but the creature was made out of wood (I’m getting really lucky, aren’t I?). The beast yowled in pain and fear and ran out of the barn, back into the forest. “Sorry Dash, but you‘ll need a better reaction time.” It then hit me that the three fillies were standing, wide eyed and opened mouthed, at what had just happened. Over where we were hiding I heard Jay say “Well, we’re bucked!” END CHAPTER 2 A/N Is obvious joke obvious? Anyways, the mysterious teleportation and superfast stair running will be explained in Chapter So STOP WHINING THAT I HAVE AN EGO BOOST. And this is (most likely) the only heroic act I will ever pull off.
Unicorns and ApplebuckingCHAPTER 3: The bookie unicorn It took a while, but after a lot of questions, me and Dash managed to explain everything to the three fillies. Jay and Spencer had come out now, and were adding to my explanation. Well, Spencer was. Jay was sleeping on a pile of hay, as he already knew what happened. “Wait, so mah sisters gonna get mad at you now?” Applebloom didn’t seem to want her sister to do anything to us, even if we were humans. “Well she said ‘If any of them come running in telling me there’s a weird creature in the barn, you’re gonna get bucked’, or something like that. Considering none of you went in yet, I’d say we’re safe.” Spencer calmed Applebloom with these words. “But what if that Timberwolf comes back? Shouldn’t we tell AJ about it?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Nah. I’ll just run it out again. Hey, do you have a chainsaw? That would work wonders on a wolf made out of wood. Anyways, it’s getting late. We should really go to bed now.” After assuring the fillies that the Timberwolf wouldn’t come back, they finally went to sleep. It took us a little longer, but we also fell asleep. “What the hay are you doing?” I lazily opened one eye. Applejack was standing over me, and she did NOT look happy. “I thought ya’ll woulda followed orders and stayed hidden!” I yawned and stretched before replying. “It’s hard to stand down and watch a wood-wolf attack your sister. So I saved them. You can’t be mad at me for that. Don’t worry, me and Dash explained everything, they know what happened.” Everyone else started to wake up now. “Morning, AJ.” Jay said as he slid down from the pile of hay he was on. “Hey Jay, how’s your chest doin ya?” Jay smiled. “Actually, much better. Guess you didn’t break anything. By the way, we didn’t exactly get the name of where we are.” “You’re at Sweet Apple Acres, home of the finest apples in Ponyville!” Applejack said. She looked extremely proud of the fact too. “But, how’d ya save mah sister from a Timberwolf?” “Easily. By the way, you need a new axe.” I said, grinning. “Your old one got lodged in the thing, so it ran off with it.” Applejack looked surprised. “But Timberwolves are really ferocious!” I laughed. “Not when you start chopping them down! So, you said Twilight could help us. When do we meet her?” Rainbow Dash flew over to us. “Well, since you can’t go out in the open, she’ll have to come here. And I doubt that she will when I say ‘We found humans at AJ’s!’. Even if I did go to another dimension, she would never believe me.” “I’ll tell her. Since I’m the element of honesty, she’ll have to believe me. I’ll see you sugercubes in a little bit.” And with that, she headed towards Ponyville. “Oh, one last thing. I told Big Mac about you guys, and he said he’d teach you guys how to buck apples, since I’ll be gone.” She left after she said this. “Great, we still have to do chores, even if we are in another world! And who’s Big Mac?” We learned that one second later. A large red stallion with orange hair came in, and took us to the place we landed at. After showing us what Apple bucking is, we started to buck the weaker trees. I don’t know why, we’re plenty strong on our own. We went to the bigger trees a bit later, and Big Mac seemed surprised we could buck them. “It ain’t too hard. A swift, strong kick makes all the apples come down. It helps that we’re strong, too. Hey, when’s lunch? I’m starved!” ________________________________________________________________________ As it turns out, Applejack also told her grandma, Granny Apple, that we were here. So were able to talk to her as well as have complete access to the farm, since everypony there knew who we were. “Hey Dash, why did Applejack call herself the ‘element of honesty’?” Jay asked. Rainbow Dash stopped chugging the cider she had. “Well, all of my best friends have one of the elements of harmony, and AJ is the element of honesty.” “Elements of harmony?” Spencer seemed interested at this. “Yeah, there’s also the elements of magic, laughter, generosity, kindness, and, yours truly, loyalty.” Well, that must have been why she didn’t attack me after I attacked Applejack. Jay put that thought into words for me. “So is that why you didn’t try to kill Colin after he pinned Applejack?” I flinched, as well as nearly choked on the apple I was eating. Applejacks siblings were sitting right near us, and I don’t think they would let me stay if they knew that had happened. “Yup. But I didn’t know you lived on the streets. I met you guys at a house.” “Well, we only got the house recently. Two months ago, in fact. Before that we lived on the streets since we were six.” Applebloom jumped over to Jay with a worried expression. “Ya mean you ran away from home?” Spence answered this one. “No, our parents died in a house fire. It’s a good thing we lived near a market. Plenty of food, and no one’s gonna deny an orphan food. Some people offered to take us in, or take us to the orphanage, but we lived better on our own. It got really bad sometimes, living in an allyway. But we got through it, and here we are now.” Everyone seemed taken aback at this, as they weren’t expecting him to tell them our life story. Jay broke the silence easily enough. “Well, I’m bored. Are we gonna go back to apple bucking or what?” I just stared at him. “Nice transition. Being orphans to doing chores. You are such a moron.” That broke the ice a little. Everyone was chuckling, and that’s better than being sad for us. “Well, I’m bored too, so let’s go.” ________________________________________________________________________ Applejack had been gone a long time. I don’t know where Twilight lived, but she said she’d be back in a bit. I was about to go to find her, but then I heard her and another voice coming towards us. “Don’t worry, Twi. They ain’t mean or evil or anything. Just give ‘em a chance, and don’t be too surprised to see them.” Applejack came over the ridge that went through the field, and she was followed by a lavender unicorn with pink and purple striped hair, only with a small stripe of pink, and straighter than Sweetie belle’s. “Applejack, I know you’re the element of honesty, but the fact that Rainbow Dash has rescued by humans, and that they’re now living here is just way too unlikely to be true.” “Ah was telling Dash the same thing when one of ‘em landed right in front of me. Dash even told you herself. Ah don’t get why you just cant accept the fact the there really are humans here. Or why you had everypony meet us at your house.” Twilight shook her head. “If there really are humans, then we should either be ready to take them out, or try to make peace. If it goes well, I’ll request a meeting with Princess Celestia to see what to do with them.” Jay apparently heard the whole thing as well. “Well, at least there are no crappy politicians here.” Applejack and Twilight walked over to us, and Twilight looked a bit nervous. “Guys, this is Twilight Sparkle, or Twilight for short.” I knew that I would do a better job at an introduction than Jay, so I spoke first. “Hi Twilight. My name is Colin, and this is my brother Jay. Spencer is around here somewhere, but-” “So this is Twilight, I presume?” Twi jumped a little as Spencer walked up behind her. “Yea, but she seems awful jumpy. Not how I imagined her.” I gave Jay a look. “Jay, no one here has ever seen a human before, so It’s expected that she’s a bit nervous, especially since she thinks we’re a threat.” Twilight looked at me. “Wait, so you heard part of me and Applejack’s conversation?” I nodded. “Don’t worry, we aren’t gonna hurt anyone. Take us to your place if you want to, nothing bad will come of it.” I stared at Jay. “Probably.” Jay gave me a “Why are you looking at me?’ look. Twilight noticed this. “Why are you looking at him?” I looked back to Twi. “He causes about thirty percent of our problems. Anyways, how are we gonna get to your place? I’m sure everyone won’t be happy to see three humans walking around.” “Well, I know a teleportation spell, but I’m not very good with it. We may not get all the way there. Or worse…” Spencer stopped her. “At least try it. If we’re going to ever get out of here, we’ll need you, if not to but us back in our diminsion, then find someone who can.” Twilight smiled at him. “Ok, everypony stay close!” Twilight’s horn started glowing, and then exploded into a flash of white. When I could see again, we were standing in what seemed to be a library. “Well, I didn’t know that a library counted as a home, but who am I to judge?” Then, a voice from behind me said: “Well Twilight, who, or WHAT, are they supposed to be?” END CHAPTER 3 A/N How do you think it’s going so far? Please be honest, and no over the top rudeness.
THE Chapter 4CHAPTER 4: The Mane Six There were three other ponies (and a tiny dragon) in the room with us, as well as Rainbow Dash. From the fancy-pants voice that spoke, it must have been the white unicorn with curled purple hair. She looked like one of earths fashion fanatics turned into a pony, as her hooves were even “hooficured”, if that’s what it was called here. “Care to introduce us, darling?” she said looking at Twilight. “Well, the one with the long black hair is Colin, the blonde one is Jay, and the one with silver hair is… Spencer, right?” Spencer nodded. “Yeah, they’re the ones that saved me from having to live in that other world!” Dash said. “If they didn’t show up, I’d still be stuck there!” A pink pony started to enthusiastically bounce around us, talking way too fast to understand. “OOHsotheysavedyouhuharetheyniceordidtheyonlywantyougonewhydonttheyhavecutiemarksOHdoyouthinktheylikecupcakes ohmygoshwevegottathrowthemaparty!” “Wait…I…what did she just say?” Jay wasn’t the only confused one. “Maybe I should introduce you guys to my friends.” Twilight said, giggling. “That’s Pinkie Pie.” “My god, does she always talk like that?” Jay asked. “Of course not, silly! Nopony would be able to understand me if I did!” Pinkie said, still bouncing around us like a ball. “Well can you not talk like that? And can you please walk? I’m getting dizzy watching you.” Pinkie landed on the floor, and actually stood in one place. “So what are you guys? You sure arent ponies!” “Actually, we’re humans. We were teleported here by a really weird storm. Hey Twilight, do you know anything about interdimentional travel?” Twilight looked at us with a very confused expression. “I’ll take that as a no.” Jay slumped onto one of the couches. “Now what are we gonna…” There was a tiny “Eep!” from under the couch Jay was on, causing him to jump. “THE HELL?!” A pink and yellow blur rushed out from under it and hid behind the white unicorn. “Before I ask what that was, I didn’t get your name, miss…? “Rarity, best fashion designer in Ponyville!” she exclaimed, looking very proud of herself. I hope she doesn’t have a gigantic ego, I thought. I also made a mental note to keep Jay from saying anything that would upset her, in case she’s also a drama queen. “Anyways, who just ran behind you?” Rarity turned to whoever it was that was behind her. “Don’t worry, Fluttershy, they aren’t monsters like Twilight said.” Jay sighed. “Great. One day here and we’re classified as monsters. Whoop-de- freakin-doo.” A yellow pony poked her head out from behind Rarity, still looking spooked. “Well, um, my name is… Fluttershy.” I thought that I had momentarily had trouble with my hearing. “Uh, I didn’t catch that. You’re who?” “Fluttershy.” Again, too soft. “A little louder please?” She shivered a little bit. “My name is Fluttershy.” Fluttershy? Well, that explains it then! Spencer seemed to have gotten it this time as well. “Fluttershy, huh? Don’t worry. Just like we told Dash, we aren’t here to cause trouble. We just want to get home.” Fluttershy seemed a little less scared now, and started to come out from behind Rarity. I guess Spence has a calming effect on people. I hope this helps to show that we don’t mean trouble. “But on the off chance we can’t?” Jay asked. Everyon….EveryPONY was silent for about a minute. “Live here?” I shrugged. It wasn’t a bad idea really, we just had to get the native people…PONIES to agree to that. Simple. Or so I thought. “Live here. In a place populated by pastel colored ponies. For the rest of our lives. When we-” I shoved my hand into Jay’s mouth. “OK, bad idea! You don’t need to elaborate on that. It was only a suggestion.” Jay smacked my hand away. “Yea, a stupid one.” “Well, do you have a better idea?” “Yea, just find the nearest forest! Enough food there!” “And wild animals!” “We’re surrounded by ponies! It cant be that bad!” “Do you really think only ponies live here?! Hell, there’s a DRAGON standing two feet away from you!” “A tiny one!” “A tame one!” “STOP FIGHTING!!!” Everypony in the room jumped at the outburst, then turned to it’s source with wide eyes. Fluttershy. She stepped back a little. “Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to-” Spencer motioned for her to stop. “Don’t worry. The only way you can tear those two apart is to do that.” Jay glared at him. “And Colin raises a good point. If we just live here, then everything will be much more simple. Although, I don’t think a town of ponies are going to accept three aliens, even IF we’re friendly.” “Well, maybe Princess Celestia will either know how to get you back to your planet, or find a way to help you fit into pony society. Spike, take a letter.” The little purple dragon (Spike, apparently) found a quill and a piece of paper. “Dear Princess Celestia…..” ________________________________________________________________________ It took about an hour, but the princess finally wrote back. At least it wasn’t a boring hour. Jay and Dashie (That’s what Pinkie called her) were talking about sports, but since the only thing she talked about were flying and Hoofball, Jay started to explain to a starry eyed Dash the hundreds of sports humans played. Spencer was just striking up conversation with most of the others. When I say most, I mean me and Pinks (NICKNAMES FTW) were mindlessly jabbering on about whatever. “So that’s how I peeved an entire town, thus forcing us to move.” Pinkie was laughing hard, and I was chuckling too. Who knew a banana and a pack of chewing gum could do so much? “Hahahahaha, that has to be the FUNNIEST thing I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot!” Pinkie then pulled a hanky out of nowhere, wiping away her tears. “Wait, where did that come from?” “What, this?” She asked, showing me the hanky. “Sorry, I can’t tell. It’s a SECRET.” I just stared. “Promise I won’t tell.” “Pinkie Promise?” “What?” “Oh right, you’re new here!” She whacked herself on the head. “Silly Pinkie!” “So what’s a Pinkie Promise?” She then started gesturing. “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Well, seemed easy enough. “And you can NEVER break a Pinkie promise, OR ELSE.” And there’s the catch. I tilted my head. “Else what?” She just smiled. “Secret!” I copied her. “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Now pleheheheeeeese tell me!” She paused and rubbed her chin for a minute, then smiled and said “Okie Dokie Loki!” Fist pump. “So, how-” “Bad news everypony.” Twilight said. And cue the happy killer. “It looks like Celestia doesn’t know anything about interdimentional travel.” End Chapter 4 A/N: Now you know why I’ve been weird. Apparently, I’ve got some random in me. Time to learn from the master. PP: Are you ready, young grasshopper? Teach me, sensei. TO BE CONTINUED…
Challenger Approching?Chapter 5: Solutions Seconds passed as everyone just stood there, dumbstruck at the news. Yes, even Pinkie. The princess, and (as I had overheard) goddess of the sun, had no knowledge on how to send us home, let alone where home was. “So, let me get this straight.” Spencer said. “The princess of Equestria, goddess of the sun, and most powerful pony in the world, has no idea how to get us back?” Twilight nodded. “But she DID give me something that could help you blend in!” She looked back at the scroll for a few seconds, then rolled it back up. “Ok, Colin, go stand against that wall.” I just shrugged and went over to it. “Alright, I’ve never used this spell before, and I really have no other options, so hope that you cant still move after this.” Ruh roh. “Wait wha-” There was a flash of purple, and everything went black… I regained consciousness, but after watching and reading a few things, I deduced that my eyes should stay closed. I probably couldn’t open them if I wanted to, it hurt so much. I just groaned instead. “Hey, I think he’s waking up!” I heard footsteps coming close to me. “Are you ok?” “Depends, should it feel like I was run over by a tank?” Multiple sighs of relief. “Well, the description said that if preformed wrong, you would be disintegrated, so it did work.” “Good. Now what did it do?” Jay’s voice answered. “Well, you shrunk, grew much, much more hair, and now you have a horn.” Loading. Loading. Done. “I’m a pony, aren’t I?” “Yup.” I finally opened my eyes, and sat up. I was sitting eye to eye with Twilight. “Can I have a mirror? I can’t trust him.” Twi’s horn glowed, and a mirror floated in front of my face. Yes, I was a pony. When I was human, I was wearing a white jacket, black shirt, blue jeans, and an orange bandanna, the last thing my father ever gave me. My hair was on the long side, and black in color. Now, the only thing that told me I had been me was a white coat, my blue eyes, and the bandanna. My hair? Green. Dark and light. I ran my hoof through it. “Well, the hair is an improvement. I always wanted green hair.” Twilight smiled. “Well, at least you like your new look.” I stood up, which really wasn‘t that hard. And now the fun part. “Ok, now can anyone show me how I’m supposed to walk?” After a lot of trying and failing (and Jay dieing with laughter), I was able to walk, and trot at a reasonable speed. “Alright, your turn Jay.” “Can’t I just stay inside?” “Awww, are you worried your manhood won’t be intact?” “Beam me.” After another blinding flash, a green Pegasus with a yellow mane was left sprawled on the floor. His hair was still yellow and unkempt, but now he had a green coat. Maybe it was because he was wearing cameo jeans. He opened his eyes, which were still hazel, and upon seeing me, sneered. “I thought you said that it felt like getting hit by a tank.” “Well, I modified the spell a little, so it wouldn’t hurt.” “Oh.” Jay lost his smug grin, and adopted a pouting face. “Yea, you probably couldn’t take it anyways.” I smirked. He instantly jumped to his hooves, glaring at me. “What was that?” “I said you probably couldn’t take the pain. Problem?” “Bet you can’t take the pain of me beating your sorry ass!” Another purple flash. “Both of you shut up.” I turned at the voice. Spencer now stood there as an Earth pony, his grey hair, green eyes, and black vest still there. He hade a dark blue coat, and a bemused expression on his face. “How come I’m the youngest, but have more manners than both of you combined?” “Cause you’re a momma’s boy.” After Spence bucked him into the far wall, he turned to me. “Looks like we’ll be living here.” I looked at Jays unconscious form. “Yea, whether we like it or not.” _____________________________________________________________ After Jay woke up, we decided where we would be staying. I was staying at Twilight’s, and since I’m a unicorn, I get to make “Da Magicks”. Spencer would be at Fluttershy’s, as he’s actually very good with animals. And, after a unanimous (Me, Spence, Rainbow, and Pinkie) vote, he was sentenced to one week at Sugercube Corner, instead of learning how to fly. After Jay was dragged out (at several times the speed of sound), everyone went their separate ways, and I was left alone in the library with Twi. When I turned back to her, she had a smile that rivaled Pinkie’s. “Twilight, wha-” “You have to tell me everything about where you came from!” Shoulda seen that one coming. A few pieces of paper, an ink bottle, and a quill zoomed over to her, covered in a violet aura. “First off, how do you move the clouds if none of your race have wings?” “Uh, we don’t.” Twilight just stared at me. “You mean you just let the clouds float in one place all the time?” “No, the wind carries them. You mean ponies can move clouds?” “Y-yes. The wind carries them?” “Uh huh. It’s not natural for clouds to move on their own here?” “No. Only pegasi can move the clouds.” “Would that mean they can touch clouds?” “Yes.” “The clouds were I’m from are just thick water vapor. You can’t touch them.” I can’t say how Twilight looked at this moment in time. Confused? No, more…whatty. Dumbstruck. No, still too knowing. FLABBERGHASTED… no, no. Damn, I can’t find a word for it. “But…the only place where clouds move on their own is…” “Is…where?” She pointed out the window to a large forest just outside of town. “…the Everfree Forest.” Looking at her again, showed she actually seemed a bit frightened. “Does your world have any monsters in it?” “Well, there are a few, but no on has really seen them. The ones that do, usually get killed by said monsters, or are too terrified to remember what it looked like. Take Slenderman, for example…” _______________________ Short line means changing POV now. Remember what I said about Jay forgetting everything? LIES. Do you know what being dragged at a hundred miles an hour feels like? Ask Pinkie if you can have a tour of the town, and you’ll know. This from experience. After the “tour”, we arrived at Sugercube Corner. I wish I was at Rainbows house. Then maybe I could lean to fly. My god, this week is going to either drive me insane, kill me, or both. We walked in, and were greeted by a lone pony working the register. “Hi, Misses Cake!” “Oh, hello Pinkie. Who is that with you?” While I am an idiot (at least to my siblings) I do know how to treat a woman. “Name’s Jay, nice to meet you. Hold on a sec.” I walked over to the window, opened it, and emptied my stomach. After I had done that, I walked back to them. “Agh, who knew you could get jet lag on the ground?” Mrs. Cake looked worried. “Pinkie, did you give him the ‘quick’ version of the tour?” “Of course I did! We had to get here really-super-duper quickly so we could make cupcakes for his pa-” Pinkie quickly shoved her hoof into her mouth. “My what?” Pinkie looked away. “Your…uh…palate, silly! I mean, you just lost your breakfast, so your probably really hungry!” “Well, yes, that’s what happens when you hurl. Alright, lead the way.” __________________________________ Meanwhile, on Earth… A girl stepped into the house, eying the damages the weird storm had caused, her slick ginger hair flowing in the wind coming from the broken windows. “Geez, you think they would know how to prepare for the storm. Well, at least Spencer would.” She sighed. “But from the traces of magic around this area, something must have happened.” The girl pulled out a blank sheet of paper, and unfolded it. “I need the current whereabouts of my brothers. Can you find them?” Ink swirled around the page forming a strange writing style. It read; She furrowed her brow. “Equestria? I’ve never heard of a place like that.” Her eyes moved to the Pegasus shaped crater on the wall. “Equestria, equine, of course! How could I be this dense?” She closed her eyes, focusing. Do you think this will really work?! That voice was Spencer’s. Then another one replied. I have no idea! Colin. Her open palm met her face. “Idiot.” TO BE CONTINUED… A/N: Mystery character! I wonder how this will go. Two things are for sure here; 1: I’m not the leader of this pack (yet >:D) 2: Someone’s bound to get hurt Let’s hope it’s not me…
Reunion and a messageCHAPTER 6: A wild Vinyl appears! A week had passed, and we met back at the library. Jay usually came to me saying that life at Sugercube Corner was torture, then slipped up and said something about enjoying it, after which he left too quickly for me to scrutinize him. Spencer, however, never actually left Fluttershy’s property. I know, because after telling Twilight about Slendy, she made me do more errands than Spike. She was probably just scared I would tell her about the other horrors our world has, like Justin Beiber. Hell, she couldn’t even sleep the night after I told her. But I digress. Me and Twi were waiting for everypony to get back so they could either stay with their “caretakers”, or go someplace else. While I had been with Twi, I had touched up on the chaos theory, which helped me when Pinkie was training me in the art of random. Jay had actually learned to cook something without burning it, even if most of it was sweets. And, as mentioned, no one had seen Spence. I was lounging, very bored, on a chair. Most of that boredom was from being unable to pester Jay all week. Twilight was higher up in the library, and Spike was doing errands. I looked at the clock. 12:05. Pinkie and Jay were late, and every second was like and hour. Damn you, boredom, why must you be so horribly torturing?! Just as I was going to start looking for them, Jay and Pinkie walked through the door. Well, Jay was, anyways. “Miss us?” “Yea, I haven’t hit you in a week! COME ‘ERE!” We were about to throw punches, but we were caught by a lavender aura. Curses, foiled again! “Is this how all humans greet each other? I don’t think I would like to visit your planet if it is.” Jay just laughed. “No, this is our little dysfunctional family way. Humans don’t just punch someone walking through the-” I broke out of the paralysis spell and hit him square in the jaw. “By the way, I have magic now. Have fun trying to-” He had kicked me in the face before I finished. “Well I’m faster, so good luck with that.” I replied with good uppercut, adding “SHORYUKEN!!!” for emphasis. He just lied there, looking at me stupidly. “No you ain’t.” He just gave me an indifferent look. Twilight sighed. “Well I feel sorry for your family. Now if you could stop fighting, lunch is on the table.” After we had finally agreed not to attack each other until Spence got here, we sat down and ate. That peace only lasted five minutes. When we were done, me and Jay just sat and waited for Spencer. You can make us agree not to fight, but it’s gonna take a hell lot more to make us do something other than wait until we can. Luckily, as I’ve learned, Ponyville just won’t let you sit still. The door was flung open, and a white mare raced over to Twilight. “QUICK! I need a spell that can summon stallions!” Me, Jay, and Twi just stared at her. “Well, someone seems desperate.” After the mare knocked Jay out with a blow to the chest, she gave Twi the puppy dog eyes, accompanied with a little ‘squee’. “Sorry Vinyl, but I can’t just summon up stallions.” The mare, Vinyl, sat down and began pouting. “But, there are two stallions already here! One of which you knocked out…oh, Jay! Are you ok?” Jay had gotten up, but was still wobbly. “Oof, someone get the number of that truck?” Vinyl ran up and hugged him. Dear god, she IS desperate! “I am really, reallyreallyreally sorry, now could you possible do something for me?” “Does it involve being in bucking range?” “Yes.” “No.” Another buck to the chest. Dang, this was not a good week for him. She turned to me, again using puppy dog eyes. “You don’t need to look at me like that, hitting him put you on good terms with me.” Jay had gotten up again. Well, at least he’s durable. “Har har.” After giving him a smirk, I turned back to Vinyl. “So, what need?” _____________________________________________________________ “I can’t believe you just agreed to that.” I griped. We were walking down to Sweet Apple Acres, the place where a contest, the Sibling stand-off, was being held. The road was flanked by many large apple trees, as well as the occasional bucket. “Agreed to what?” Vinyl asked innocently. “Agreeing to be our sister, LEGALLY, may I add, for a little contest?” Oh yeah. Colin decided that if she was asking about being siblings foe one day, why not forever? He's stupider than me sometimes. Unless... She shrugged. “Well, I always did want some other family besides mom, and I guess today is a lucky day for me! Besides, I would have asked anyways when this “little contest” was over. He just happened to ask sooner. By the way, why DID you want me to be your sister, just out of curiosity?” Vinyl couldn’t see it from the side she was on, but Colin’s ear twitched a little. More noticeable, however, was that he stopped walking. “Vinyl, are you absolutely sure you want to know the answer to that?” “Of course I do! Lay it on me!” _____________________________________________________________ “So, they’re not even in this universe anymore?” “Correct.” “And you want me to help you find them…why?” “BECAUSE that was a ONE WAY PORTAL, DUMBASS!” “Whoa, easy with that sword!” “Now listen. You are OUR brother, and I don’t care that we’ll be stuck there for an eternity, I will drag you though that thing tied and gagged if I have to!” “Hey, it was just a joke, honest!” “Good. Now get your pasty white butt into that portal.” “Yes, Medusa.” “What?” “NOTHING!” AN/ You already know the story, so I’m not gonna repeat it. And holy balls, whoever that is, they’re violent!!!! Hope we don’t meet….
The Devil HerselfChapter 7: The Devil Herself Vinyl looked at us with a sorrowful look. “That’s horrible…” We had just told her the story of our life, from our parents deaths, to our lives on the streets, to arriving in Equestria. “Yeah, our life was crap until recently.” I said. I took a bit of effort to restrain myself from crying after having to talk about it again, but it worked. “So, the reason you asked me to be your sister is because you need somepony to take their place?” If I had fists, they would be clenched. But that tension evaporated quickly. She was family now, and until she was ready, I would not fight her like I do Jay. “No. I don’t know why, but it just feels right to have you as a sister.” Vinyl chuckled. “If you’re going to go all philosopher on me, I WILL cover my ears and repeat the word ‘blah’ over and over again.” “Well, if you two are done bonding, we’re here.” Jay was right. We had made it back to where we started this new life, Sweet Apple Acres. A board that read “Sibling Stand-off” was pegged on the front lawn, with four events listed. They were: Egg toss Rodeo Strength Contest Agility Contest Tag Race We walked over to a little yellow filly with a big red bow, who was signing ponies up for the competition. Vinyl smirked and trotted briskly over to her, then looked back at us. “Well boys, let’s win this thing!” _____________________________________________________________ “Wow, we were BAD at that.” “You can say that again.” Not being used to pony bodies, me and Jay came in sixth place in every event. At least we weren’t the worst out of twelve teams. We were walking through Ponyville square, nearing the library. “Well, I bet Spence is here now, so we can introduce you to him.” Jay said. He opened the door and we all walked in. Spencer was there all right, but there was someone else, too. Sitting on one of the chairs rested a human with blue, anime style hair, a yellow shirt, and a pair of faded blue jeans. Vinyl gasped, alerting him of our presence. What happened next, she never would have expected. “Jay!” “Ryan!” Jay ran up and hugged him, Ryan returning it. “It’s been too long! Why haven’t you come to see us sooner, you prick?” Ryan laughed. “You mean here, or on Earth?” The two practically dancer around together, leaving a very confused mare right next to me. “Who…I…what the buck just happened?!” Spencer walked over to us. “So, this is the new addition, huh? Nice to meet you, I’m Spencer.” “Uh huh. Now can you explain this to me?” Spencer chuckled. “Well, you didn’t tell her we were humans, Colin?” I laughed. “No, not yet. But she knows now!” Vinyl shook herself out of her trance. “You mean all three of you used to look like that?!” She pointed a hoof at Ryan. “Yup.” Was the only response I gave her. Ryan and Jay finished celebrating. “Hey, Vinyl! I want you to meet our brother, Ryan! How did you get here anyways?” "Well, I-” His sentence was cut off by someone entering the room from the kitchen and saying “OK, guys, soups up!” Jay’s and my jaws dropped. Standing in the doorway was the single most terrifying thing to ever exist. She had flowing amber hair, wore a jean jacket with a sky blue shirt underneath, and a pair of black sweats. She stood there, looking like the embodiment of the devil. The only things that came out of our mouths was a scream. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!” We dashed towards the door hoping to escape, but we were caught in a field of orange magic. The girl flicked her finger towards her, surrounded by the same glow, making us float over to her. “Is that any way to treat your younger sister?” “But you hit us.” Jay whimpered. “A lot.” I added. She ‘tsk’ed at us. “Only because you two are idiots so much. The glow around her hand vanished, and we hit the floor. “Please don’t kill us.” We begged. She giggled. “Why? From what Spence told me, you two were helping a pony by the name of ‘Rainbow Dash’ get home. I don’t see a reason to kill you two for that.” We let out relived breaths. She wasn’t going to maim us! “Ok, I still have no idea what’s going on here!” Vinyl yelled. The girl looked over to her. “Oh, sorry, my name is Amber. I’m these two knucklehead’s sister. Nice to meet you, miss…” “Vinyl, Vinyl Scratch.” She said. “Why are those two afraid of you?” She smiled. “Because I’m the only one who can beat them up without consequence.” Vinyl backed away a little. “O…K…then.” “Don’t worry, I’m not just going to go around hitting people.” Vinyl looked really uneasy. “Uh, yeah, about that…” “What?” “Would you kill them if they had, oh, I don’t know, made me their sister?” Amber looked confused. “Depends. Would you have asked them anyways?” Vinyl had a look of relief on her face. “Yup.” “Well then, I guess they’re lucky, aren’t they?” Me and Jay poked our heads over the couch we had hidden behind. “Thank god she would have asked, or we would be in lots of-” Amber grabbed us both by the necks and threw us out the window. “But I still have to kill you two FOR NOT WAITING FOR ME!!!” Spencer sighed. “Guess we won’t see them for the next week, then.” “Yup.” Ryan said. “Let’s hope that she doesn’t find them.” “I pray to Celestia she doesn’t.” Vinyl added. Twilight walked out of the kitchen. “I heard screaming! Is everypony OK?” Ryan and Spencer nodded. “Eeyup.” Vinyl facehoofed.
