My little Step brothers: The flying Costar

It was midnight in the Canterlot train station. The ponies inside and the guards outside were all working the graveyard shift. This of course wasn't normal. Everypony usually clocks out before it even gets dark.

"Man, I can't believe we got called in this late. Whats the big deal," a stallion inside the station  ruffed out. His voice matching how much consciousness he had left. "I don't remember any special event taking place in Canterlot," he rambled looking on his calender.

"Didn't you hear," a mare called  out from the other side of the station."A bunch of ponies from Manehattan are coming to Canterlot for business, stock trade, and a bunch of other corporate stuff that I can't even begin to rap my mind around. All I know is: Manehattan,ponies, business, money. That's all I want to know, that's all I have to know and that's all i'm gonna know since this is the last day." She seemed to have a more cheerful attitude, due to the fact that it was the last day of the Manehattan ponies coming in by train.

Outside, there were two unicorn guards side by side with their horns lit up to bring more illumination the light posts weren't giving them. "I seriously don't wan't to deal with those Manehattan jerks anymore. They must be the ruddiest in all of equestria," one of the guards ranted to the other. Having dealt with this ranting for a few hours now the other simply rolled his eyes. He wasn't very fond of Manehattan ponies either. In fact he could imagine a life without them, but granted this was the last day of the week, which of course meant last last horde of nocturnal ponies. If he could deal with the final day so could his partner.

"Eh, would'ya quit whining. I hate whiners. And I'm gonna hate you a lot more if you don't shut the heck up, okay?" His partner gave nothing  but a simple nod before turning to the tracks. It wasn't until minuets later they could hear the sound of an approaching train. With a sigh that had annoyance and a touch of relief, the guards went to the separate edges of the station. The sound of the horn was heard and a bright headlight could be seen as the train pulled into the station. The train cars opened simultaneously and a large number of ponies exited the train. All of them appeared to be wide awake as they were all having conversations with each other as they went into the station. As the number of ponies began to decrease a hazel unicorn mare with a rusty red mane and reading glasses stopped just after she got out of the car. She turned around and looked back into the car as if she was looking for someone.

"Cash!" She yelled into the car, she obviously was becoming impatient with a certain colt that was laying down comfortably on the train benches. "I do not have time for your so called 'Sleep Deprived Disorder' or SDD, as if you needed to clarify it like that.You can get plenty of sleep when your in our apartment, now come on, before Celestia decides to raise the sun," she adjusts her glasses a bit, "and burns my optic nerves." Inside the car, which appeared to be empty except for a colt that began to rise from his deep slumber and sluggishly walked out of the car onto the station platform. This colt was a sight. Starting from him wearing a fishing hat that was obviously to big for his head, he had very seaweed line mane and tail, both in color and texture his eyes were a light brown and his fur was a deep sea dark blue.

"Okay, okay ma. I'm up, so can you please stop screaming." The colt rubbed his eyes in exhaustion and gave out a big yawn. If his outward appearance didn't draw eyes, you'd have to either be blind or several feet away not to notice his teeth. They were the spiting image of a sharks. The only difference was that there where two layers instead of three. Anyone who saw this either turned away in fear or began to walk faster. The colt was so tired that he didn't even hear the comments about him. "Can ya at least tell me why we got to take the midnight express, instead of coming in the morning. And why here?"

"Well you just couldn't miss your late night brunch, remember?"

"No, I don't actually-"

HOOF SMACK

"Ouch! Why you gotta hit me for?"

"To wake you up of course. Now come on, we can't dilly dally all night long, we have to find a taxi cab and find our apartment while everypony is still conscious." The mare activated her magic and began to pull the colt out of the station by his ears, to which he yelled out in aggression but the mare and she ignored every comment as she left the station with Cash trailing against his will.

The Canterlot streets became absolutely stressed within minuets. Most of the ponies who came in from the train were travailing by taxi which made so much noise due to the quantity of the taxi's. One window shot open, revealing a middle aged mare with a mud mask, steaming with rage.

"What is the meaning of all this no-" her ranting was cut short due to a flying unidentifiable substance hitting her in the face, bringing her back into the window and it falling shut. Deep into the residential areas of Canterlot, ponies were getting off and paying their cab drivers. But while most of them stopped right in front of the apartments, few stopped at the beginnings of alleyways. The mare and the now sleeping soundly shark like colt was one of them. The mare got off the cab and paid the driver with a smile. The driver trotted off and the mare turned to the alley. Skeptical at first, she breathed in and walked into the dark alley. I was very humid, on account of all the hot garbage that was scattered across the alleyway, turning the straight path into a complicated and foul smelling maze.

"Oh, my sweet Celestia this place smells horrible. Okay, 202, 202...where the heck is 202- Oh!" Right next to the mare was the back door to her apartment. Giving off a relieved sigh she moved all the trash that was blocking her way and motioned herself up the steps. Her ears perked up as the sound of a trash can rattling in the distance could be heard. Shrugging it off she opend the door with her magic, putting the sleeping colt inside first and then stepped in

"Must be a raccoon.."

~The Next Day~

The sun rose above the horizon, the birds chirped on the roofs of several apartments. It was peaceful, of course....that is...until the ear piercing screech. Hundreds of birds all across the residential area of Canterlot flew away, chirping in agony. The screech was in fact snoring. Snoring coming from inside the residential area.

The unicorn mare with the rusty red mane entered the room where the snoring was coming from. The culprit was Cash, who's snoring was more of a high pitched screech. Like she was immune to the snoring, the rusty red mare walked up to the colt on the bed with a motherly smile. She gently ran her hoof in her mane and kissed his forehead. She tiptoed out of the room and gently shut the door. Seconds later, with the use of her magic, she burst into the room, slamming the door against the wall in the process.

"Cash!! Get your soon to be nonexistent flank up Now!!" The scream proved to be louder than the snoring and Cash's eyes flew open in shock and he jumped off the bed in fear. He landed with a thud and looked up to see the rusty maned mare looking down at him, her motherly expression returning as if it never left.

"Morning sweetie."

"You're evil."

"Oh, come on now. You're starting to sound like my ex's. Now get up. I'm about to get ready to my science convention and you need to guard the apartment for the day.

"Why, what are ponies gonna take from us? All we have are those weird beakers, your lab coats, and those small frilly outfits and toys you keep in the drawers for stallions you meet at--"

HOOF SMACK

"Oww...why do you do that?"

"Because you step out of line. Now I made 1st, 2nd, and third brunch with breakfast on the table downstairs. There's no TV, which would explain why everypony here is a bunch'a stuck up schmucks." The rusty maned mare trotted downstairs and Cash followed. She went to get all of her supplies and put them in her saddlebags and although she tried to be sneaky, Cash saw her put in a couple of her frilly outfits. And Cash addressed her immediately.

"Okay, so your gonna bring home a nerd?"

HOOF SMACK

"I suggest you stop talking. No. I'm not bringing home  a nerd. These are for if I wanna bring home somepony I find special."

"Mm-hm. Celebrity?"

"...Yes. Okay, look. Just guard the house for a day and if you don't have the authorities banging down the door, I will do you one favor, and it can be anything. Just don't push your luck. There's a radio in the kitchen so you shouldn't be too bored." She walked up to the radio and turned it on. There was a few seconds of static and then a stallions voice could be herd  from the radio.

"Well good morning Canterlot. It looks like it is going to be a splendid day here in equestria. As many know of last night was the final night of incoming ponies from out of town for stock."

"That's right buddy," another stallion voice said. "Also something very strange happened that same day as a rainbow like sonic boom has was seen by all across Canterlot. A very amazing event if I do say so myself."

"I't was, good buddy. And on that same day at that same moment. A very talented filly was named the princesses personal student for successfully hatching a baby dragon. A phenomenal feat! And so young too."

"That's right. And I must say, as a unicorn myself, I am a bit jealous." The sound of laughter could be heard after that comment.

"So jealous you might go over to that filly and ask her for pointers."

"No, I will probably go for her mother.." There was dead silence after that comment.

"Well now I know I ain't getting fired.. More after this commercial break. There was static and the sound of classical music played. The rusty maned mare was siting down listening and Cash was on the table next to the radio.

"Ma, whats a princess?"

"They are the leaders of--" She was cut short at the ring of a door bell. The rusty maned mare got up and opend the door. At the door was a stallion who was supposed to take her to the convention. Exchanging glances the mare turned her attention away from the stallion and to Cash. "Remember, i'll be home at night so don't try to do anything stupid okay." Cash roller his eyes at the mare and waved her off with one hoof while his other was fiddling with the radio. "Okay, I get it. You can go now. I wont try anything promise." The mare knew better to believe a word that was coming out of his mouth. It would have been more convincing if he was looking at her and not the radio. Rolling her eyes she went outside and closed the door gently, leaving the shark like colt by himself.

~a few hours later~

"Arrrghh!! This is just straight impossible! I can't find junk on this thing!" Cash has been fiddling with the nobs on the radio for hours trying to find something that he can sit through. But it was obvious that wasn't happening. "How long have I been on this thing! And how many friggen channels are there?! So far I found sports, comedy, which I kind of enjoyed to a fault, shopping network, they could be spitting lies for all anypony cares. But who's to say? They cant friggen see the object! Cooking. Ohoho, the cooking channel! I tried one of the recipes and the pot started to boil after a few minuets AND I DIDN'T EVEN TURN THE STOVE ON!!" Cash focused his rage to the radio, picked it up, and started to shake it violently. "What the heck am I conjuring Ms. Butterworth?! What??!!" Cash threw the radio at the wall and it began to play classical music. "Argh!" He would have directed his rage to something else if his highly sensitive ears didn't pick up something from outside.

Cash went out the back door into the alley. It smelled horrible. There were rats, a few cats and some hanging bats. Smelled just like home. But Cash wasn't here long enough to feel homesick so it was like he never left. In the distance, Cash saw a trash can rattling. Having his curiosity take over, Cash walked up to the can and put his  hoof on it. Without warning, the trash can fell on top of him and a large puffy objected bounced out. Cash threw the can off of him with ease and the puff ball jumped onto him without warning and spoke.

"What the what was that guy?! Who do you think you are pushing over ponies houses like that!? I should have ya sued." The puff ball had a colt like voice and a extremely thick Manehattan accent. It was hard to understand what the puff ball was saying, granted it was right in cashes face. "Whoa, ya look weird. Where are yous from, huh? The fish market? Zehahaahah!!" It seemed like the more the puff ball talked, the less Cash was able to understand what it was saying.

"Who-what are you?!"

"What am I? Isn't that a little obvious."

"Well no, ya kind of look like a fluffy cloud."

"Oh, I do? Well i'm sorry about that. Here! Let me make it up to ya!" The colt sounding cloud ran under cash and it began to expand. Seconds later Cash was siting on a cloud several feet wide. The cloud began to rise above the apartments. Cash found himself blocking the morning sun from his eyes. Although at this time of day it wasn't very bright, he still found a need to since his eyes were sensitive. Cash couldn't even utter a word about the view since the cloud took off into the distance across Canterlot. Reaching 100 mps, the cloud ran circles above Canterlot before coming to a stop above a building. The cloud let Cash drop to the roof of the building with a thud and returned to its normal size.

"So? How was it?" Cash couldn't say anything. His heart was beating too fast and he blew chunks across Canterlot. After slowing his breathing slightly he opend his mouth to reply, but closed it back and ran to the edge of the roof to throw up again.

"Oh hoho, that is so, so...nasty" The cloud rose up into the air and began to shrink. From the cloud, small chocolate brown hooves appeared. Followed by the cloud parting to a cloud like mane and tail. On the flank of the colt appeared to be a exclamation mark right beside a question mark. Cash wasn't even going to ask. The now revealed colt opend his eyes to reveal a hot pink color. The colt descended to the ground and held his hoof to Cash. "My names Cammy. Whats yours?"

"My name is C....wait...Cammy? That's a girls name!" Cash began to burst out laughing. Cammy's chocolate cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Shut your fish-head mouth!! Its a neutral name! Neutral!!!" Cammy couldn't help but notice Cash's cutie mark. "Oooh....a shark? What, are you like, a great swimmer or somethin',"

"Uhhh...no..not exactly.."

"Really? Then whats it mean..." Cammy stoned mid sentence due to a sound coming from right behind him. He couldn't make what was making the sound. It was kind of like a whooshing noise. Cash was wide eyed in shock when he saw what was right behind Cammy. Cammy turned around to see a big blue box that came out of nowhere.

"Eh, was that thing there a minuet ago?" Before he could get an answer two ponies came out of the box. One of them was a brown stallion with a slightly darker shade of brown mane and a green tie and a cutie mark that looked like an hour glass. The other was a grey mare with a blonde mane. She had wings and bubbles for her cutie mark.

"Ah, look at this miss Hooves. Canterlot six years in the past. Hmm, strange, it doesn't look like there's anything different. Well that's just boring.

"I told you six years wasn't far back enough to see any change."

"Well excuse me. Since when did you become a time l-" The brown stallion was stopped due to Cash poking his hoof with his own. Cammy trailed back watching as Cash addressed the stallion.

"Uhh, excuse me mister. But, where the heck did ya come from?"

"Oh yes of course. Did I miss introductions? My apologies, I tend to do that. Anyways, introductions, yes. This one here is my assistant Miss Hooves." She waved her hoof at the colts and began to study them. She could have sworn she's seen them before.

"And I'm The Doctor. Its a pleasure to meet you."
