Chapters Kristy watched the storms outside come to a head and begin their deluge. Sighing, she turned and looked over at her brother and two other friends. The trio were arguing, and she was sick of it.
"Guys! Stop it! What the heck are you even arguing about?" Kristy exploded, sitting beside her brother on the couch in front of the t.v. Josh stood, his newly shaven hair illuminating in the overhead light.
"We are trying to decide what episode to watch." John, his glasses almost falling off in the process, hit Josh in the stomach.
"I told you! I'm not watching stupid My Little Pony. That show's for babies!" Jesse shrugged, pushing his glasses further onto his nose.
"It's not that stupid. Just give it a try!" Kristy sighed again, turning on the t.v.
"I'm putting on my favorite episode. Any objections?" Nobody said anything so Kristy took the remote and pressed 'Play'.
**CRACK!
SIZZLE!
BOOM!**
CLICK!
The screen turned back on after the sudden surge of power.
"Did the antennae get hit by lightning?" Josh asked, looking up. Kristy shrugged.
"Meh." Her eyes quickly popped out of her head.
"Jesse! The screen is rippling!"
"What?!" The trio of boys turned, looking at the white, moving t.v.
Kristy reached towards it, transfixed by the glow and movement. Her hand was sucked inside and she screamed, trying to pull away.
"JESSE! HELP ME!" She shouted, reaching towards her sibling. He grabbed onto her arm, and Josh grabbed his, and John, being the biggest and strongest of the group, grabbed Josh's hand and proceeded to hold onto the couch. It didn't help much. Soon they all began to be sucked into the endless void within the television.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kristy's eyes slowly opened and she stretched, her back on the ground.
"What just happened? I can't feel my... OHMAHGAWSH!" She looked at her hands -er- hooves, and screamed. Josh, beside her, snapped open his eyes and sat up.
"K-K-Kristy! YOU'RE A PONY!" Kristy turned and looked at Josh.
"YOU'RE A PONY TOO!" Josh looked down and made the most inhuman noise.
"What's going on?" Jesse said, sleepily sitting up. He looked at us and then looked down at himself.
"I'm a pony. I am a pony. I AM a PONY. I'MMMM AAAA PONYYYYYY!" He screamed, galloping around and laughing. Josh just laid there, looking up at the sky.
"This can't be happening. This isn't happening. I died. I am dead and this is just some hallucination the devil has come up with to torture me. This isn't real." Josh laughed and looked at him.
"Well that's funny. I heard rumors but I never thought it was true!" John looked grumpily up at Josh.
"What." Josh grinned.
"There was a theory that if guys go to Equestria, there's a 50% chance they'll turn into females because of the gender imbalance." John's eyes widened.
"WHAT?!" He swiftly sat up, looking at his crotch.
"No. No. This IS SO NOT HAPPENING! I'm a GIRL for pete's-" Josh interrupted him.
"Mare." John furrowed his non-existent eyebrows.
"What?!" Josh grinned.
"You're not a girl , you're a mare . A female horse." John snapped at him.
"WELL SORRY MISTER BRONY ! IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF I DON'T KNOW EVERY ASPECT OF A GAY CHILDRENS T.V. SHOW AND ABOUT THIS GAY WORLD I'VE BEEN TRANSFERED INTO!" All three of the bronies turned to him.
"IT'S NOT GAY!"
John sighed, standing up as Jesse and Josh frolicked in the field of flowers and sparse apple trees.
"Is there any way to get out of here?" John asked Kristy, who was admiring her mane.
"Well... in the Equestria Girls Movie there was a mirror that Twilight went through to get to the human world, but that wasn't really canon, sooo...." John grabbed Josh and Jesse and yelled into their faces.
"WE NEED TO GET TO THAT MIRROR! NOW!" They all frowned. Jesse had a tear fall from his cheek.
"But... we just got here..." Josh looked at Kristy and Jesse, laughing.
"Hey guys, guess what?" They sadly turned to the boy, who could barely conceal his laughter.
"WHY THE LONG FACES?! HAHAHAHA!"
The siblings looked at each other, then to John, then back to Josh.
"BAHAHAWAHHHHAAAHHHAAA!" They bursted out laughing, and even John cracked a smile. Jesse turned to John.
"We might not be ready to leave yet, but we'll see where we are and try to drop you off as soon as possible." John hugged his three friends.
"Thank you. Now let's get outta here!"
Josh pointed towards the west.
"Look! I think that's Ponyville!" He said excitedly, looking down at the conglomeration of pastel buildings. Jesse nodded.
"Looks like it. Maybe Twilight is in her library Josh!" Josh blushed and kicked his hoof on the ground.
"It's around noon. Maybe DERPY is out sending mail!" Jesse shoved Josh and laughed.
"Shut up!" Kristy grinned.
"I hope I can see Vinyl Scratch!" She said, imitating her dropping the bass. John shook his head as they all cantered to the village. He was angry at being trapped in this world, but sad because it seems like his friends are having so much fun.
Maybe this show isn't half bad?
As they trotted towards Ponyville, the four friends looked at each other.
"Hey Jess?" Josh asked, looking at him. Jesse turned, trotting backwards.
"What's up?" Josh pointed at Jesse's body.
"Why are we all alicorns?" Jesse looked at them and gasped.
"We're all alicorns? I thought it was just me!" Kristy laughed, punching Jesse lightly with her hoof.
"Well in this one fanfic I read it said humans coming to Equestria have to resemble all three races, so they become alicorns." John shrugged awkwardly.
"I don't really care." Josh snorted.
"Of course you don't." They arrived at the village just as it was getting dark. There weren't any ponies outside, so they headed towards the treehouse, hoping Twilight might be able to help them.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Twilight got up quickly and opened the door.
"Hello?" Josh's wings flared out, and then he shoved them down again. Kristy had to stifle her laughter and Twilight gasped in shock.
"You're all alicorns?! Are you royalty from like Saddle Arabia or somewhere?" Jesse frowned.
"Sadly no. We're humans from another dimension. We're trapped here and we need to get our friend home," Twilight nodded.
"Well normally I'd take you to Princess Celestia, but the train doesn't come back till noon tomorrow. You can stay here if you want." John nodded.
"Thanks." They all crammed into her tree house library.
"So what are all your names?" Twilight said, using her magic to pour them some apple cider. Jesse thought a moment, then grinned.
"The name's Starstream." Twilight bowed a little.
"Nice to meet you!" Josh stepped forward.
"I like to be called Shade." She smiled.
"What a nice name." John shrugged.
"Redwolf." Kristy waved her hoof.
"I'm Katona!" Twilight whuffled and stepped back.
"Katona? That's a strange name. Is that name common in your world?" John furrowed his eyebrows, Josh shook his head, and Jesse glared at Kristy. She nodded.
"Yep. Pretty common for mares like me!" Twilight smiled.
"It sounds cool! Nice to meet you all!" Jesse whispered to Josh.
"She isn't an alicorn yet, so we do know this is before season four, but..." Kristy put her hooves on their muzzles.
"Shh! What if she hears you?!!!!"
Spike stumbled out of his den and looked up at them.
"Huh? Who are you pon-" He stopped, looking at John with starstruck eyes.
"She's beautiful... what's your name?" He asked, hearts forming in his eyes. John mumbled uncomfortably.
"Uhh... Redwolf..." Spike fainted.
Oh gosh. So much for Sparity.
That morning the group of friends walked out with Twilight to the train station, even with Spike dragging behind. Twilight was excited about the new arrivals.
"I mean, I have read up on theories about other dimensions, but oh boy I never imagined something like this! Humans! I tried to look them up but there is no mention of this species in any of my books and even..." She continued to babble on and Jesse turned to Kristy.
"Hey... I've been thinking... how do you think we got here in the first place?" Kristy shrugged.
"I just set it to the Boast Busters episode. I don't think I did anything else weird. Maybe it's some magic voodoo or something that we've never seen before..." Josh popped his head in.
"Did anyone notice we actually have no cutie marks? I mean really why don't we have cutie marks? I WANT A VIDEO GAME CUTIE MARK!" Kristy put her hoof on his muzzle, silencing him quickly.
"Josh I have no idea-" Josh pushed her hoof away and frowned.
"My name is Shade. I am a pony of Equestria now, and I refuse to be called my human name." He said. Kristy and Jesse groaned, putting their hooves on their faces in shame. Jesse turned to his sister again.
"I guess it doesn't really matter how we got here. Or at least not right now. All we need to worry about is getting John, er, Redwolf back home." Kristy nodded solemnly and then John trotted up to them.
"Why does everything need to be so colorful?! It hurts my friggen eyes." Jesse and Josh put their hooves around him and hugged him, laughing.
"You're such a downer, bro. Calm down. Just imagine it though, if you stayed, we could all be masters at flying and using magic!" Kristy jumped up and down, laughing.
"I want to fly to the train station! Come on Jess let's go!" Jesse galloped beside her and they both extended their wings, flapping them quickly. Twilight grinned and snickered, watching them. They rose into the air, but then slammed back down into the ground.
"What the buck?! Why can't we fly?!"
"Aww my wings won't work!"
Twilight helped them up.
"Well I'm guessing humans don't have wings, right? You can't just pick up flying in a day. You need practice and vigorous training to be able to fly." Jesse glared off into the distance, pouting over his disappointment.
They all finally reached the train station and as they went inside, Josh tried to use magic.
"HGN! GRR!!!! AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!! EXPELLIARMUS! SHADE USED CONFUSION! AHHH!" Kristy slowly reached up and pushed Josh's horn away from her emotionless face. She stood, facing the straining stallion and pulled her hoof back, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Falcon... PUNCH!" She slammed her hoof into Josh's shoulder and he brayed in pain.
"Oww! Whatja do that for?" She frowned, sitting back down.
"Imagine what would've happened if you HAD gotten it to work. Would 'Expelliarmus' pull my horn out of my skull? Or maybe 'Confusion' could make MY magic spiral out of control and hurt someone. And 'Avada Kedavra'? Really?" Josh sulked back into his seat. Twilight looked at his horn.
"Maybe... maybe because you're not from this world... you can't use magic." All three of them turned incredulously to the mare. She blushed and then continued.
"Well that explains the not being able to fly and your attempt here pretty well. Even if the spells, well if you could call those 'spells', didn't work, you'd still see the horn shimmer slightly. And pegasi... well their aerodynamics are all wrong and they wouldn't be able to fly on their own without a little magic to help them. Maybe since you weren't born ponies, maybe you didn't get magic from your parents."
Jesse began to cry incessantly.
"WHYYYYYY I WANTED TO BE A PONY EVEN AN EARTH PONY WOULD BE NICE BUT I WANTED TO FLY OR USE MAGIC AND NOW I CAN'T WHYYYYYYYYY!" Josh went over and began to cry with him.
"IF WE CAN'T USE MAGIC, THEN WHAT ABOUT OUR CUTIE MARKS?! NOOOOOOOO!"
John scoffed and looked outside at the landscape.
"Just let me out of this place and I'll be happy."
