2 - Unplanned Greetings

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Steven awoke to her sister rapidly shaking him. "Ugh what, what?" he said half-awake. "Wake up!" Came his sisters voice. He bolted up and looked at his sister. "What happened?" he asked. "Nothing. Just wanted you to be awake for breakfast." His sister said. "Oh, well thanks, I am starving."

"What are we gonna do when we reach the castle?" His sister asked while chewing a sandwich. "Hmm..we will sneak into the castle..And I have not planned this far yet." Came his response. "You nuts? There might be armed men up there or something." she replied. "Thats why were sneaking." He then smirked. "Besides, you said you have the magical powers of sneaking. Did you not?" His sister had a look of determination. "Well if we are gonna sneak in we might as well climb the damn thing until we hit a balcony or something."

After finishing both their breakfast, they packed up their sleeping bags and continued to scale the mountain. His sister was a few meters ahead of him. The castle was almost there when Jocelyn slipped.

"Aaah!" her descent was stopped by her brother catching her. "Get a sturdy rock to grip on to. Quick!" he yelled. She did just that and continued climbing up the mountain. "You alright?" he said. "Yeah, just fine. Almost fell of a mountain but im fine."

Now they were at the foot of the castle, to say the castle was huge was an understatement. Tall spires with golden tips go high up into the heavens. Marble walls are decorated with delicate carvings and designs. Gardens with flowers that bloom in the night or winter do not exist in his world. But that was not what caught Steven's attention. He stood behind a wall gawking at the horses with clothing, some wings, some horns, some without either appendages.

He hid back behind the wall and whispered to her sister "Hey, you see those?" he looked back to confirm what he saw was not him being insane. Though they were too small to be horses, ponies maybe? "See what? The castle?" Her sister said. He redirected her gaze to the ponies. She gaped at the ponies and was about to scream when Steven blocked her mouth with his hand. "Shh, we need to sneak up the castle." She nodded as he took his hand away.

"So the people who are living here are ponies?" She whispered. "Probably, though we need the sharp things you use to even climb this thing, its smooth marble." he said.

As they started climbing up the walls. They got a look at the castle's surroundings. Early 20th century houses were scattered beyond the castle walls. The houses had straw roofs and marble walls. Though some houses have the modern ceramic plated roof and brick walls. Bars and even shops could be seen in the distance too. They were almost at the top before one of Steven's picks fell off.

"Shit! Jocelyn, go up first and toss me your pick."

Jocelyn reached the the top and tossed her extra pick to Steven, which he caught mid-air, as he climbed up the balcony on the tallest spire. "Phew, glad we didnt get caught, or fall." His sister said. "Yeah, I thought I was toast when my pick slipped from my hands." He responded

"I have never seen such a creature before.." An unfamiliar voice reached both of them. They whipped around just to see a tall pony with wings and a horn, huge magenta eyes and white coat. It was a she considering the voice.

"Now, what are you doing in my room?" The pony's room included a Vanity, mirror with mysterious symbols and figurines on them, a queen-sized bed, bathroom, Bookcases, red rug, notes, ink and quills and a few cushions.

They both stared at each other then at the pony and fainted.


Steven stirred to unfamiliar voices. He caught some of the conversation.

"What kind of creature is that?"

"That one has nice wings, awesome wingspan too."

"Look at that one, it has a horn! It could probably do magic!"

"The clothes they are wearing are absolutely dreadful though.."

*GASP*

"ANEWCREATUREWECOULDBEFRIENDANDTHROWAPARTYFORYAY!"

"I had nothing to do, and not everyday you get to see this happen in Canterlot, I too have never seen a creature like this one. Even in my current stay in Ponyville."

"I cant wait to study them, I searched the whole library and found no books about these kind of creatures"

"Yer thinkin' about studying them fellas when they're sleeping? Come on now Twilight.

They all heard a groan come from beside Steven, and all went silent. "Damn bloody fucking shit. My head hurts like it was crushed and put back together." Jocelyn said under her breath.

Jocelyn sat and turned to me without noticing the ponies behind her. "Hey, Steven. Wake up, Come on..Wake up asshat." She whispered. "I am already up. and you might want to look behind you." He whispered. She looked behind just to see six pastel colored ponies.

She slowly turned back to me "What are they doing here!?" she whispered. He shrugged. She had a look of fear, then an emotionless mask. "Lets ask them if they know where our city sta-" She got cut off as the door opened.

"Oh! Im glad to see your awake." A familiar voice reached them. They both turned and saw the white pony from before. "Uh..hi?" Steven and Jocelyn said at the same time, which shocked the six ponies on the cushions.

"Whats the time? And may I know your name?" Steven asked. "My name would be Celestia, the time is 7:34pm. And the seven ponies here are Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spitfire, Pinkie Pie and Rarity." The seven ponies greeted us and smiled which we returned.

"Whats your name?" Celestia asked. Steven and Jocelyn looked at each other.

"Should we fabricate names?" Jocelyn mouthed silently to her older brother. Steven stood still contemplating the question and nodded not long after.

"My name is Stelle." Jocelyn said.

"And my name is Vernon." Steven said.

Celestia smiled. "Would you like to join us for dinner?"

"Yes please." Vernon and Stelle said simultaneously.


They sat at a long table occupied by Celestia and a pony who had dark blue for its coat, cyan eyes, and flowing hair, similar to Celestia. Which they know now as Luna. Opposite were the six ponies from before and the one known as Spitfire is sitting next to Stelle.

As the dinner was served all they got were greens, they both frowned. "They probably dont have meat here. Well fuck it they gave us food so I will eat them anyway." He whispered to his sister. She nodded and ate.

"I will be back in a minute." With that Celestia trotted off. 'Wonder where she is going.' Vernon thought to himself.

Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Hey Vernon?" Vernon looked up from his food. "Yeah?"

"How did you get your wingspan that large?" He sighed. "When I woke up, it was there. And I tried flexing them, nothing seems to be happening. And so is Stelle's horn here." He pointed at the horn mentioned.

Now Twilight spoke. "Hey Stelle, do you know how to use magic?" Stelle looked at Twilight. "Magic?" She said confused. Twilight facehoofed. "Nevermind, I might have to teach you sometime, that horn is a conduit that focuses the magic inside you." Stelle went wide-eyed. "Will you really teach me?" she said. Twilight nodded. Vernon could hear her sister screaming joy inside her head.

As they finished their meals Celestia returned with two golden tickets...floating? 'What the fuck is that? Is she using levitation? This place is getting weirder by the second!' I screamed inside my head.

"Here are your tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala." Celestia then gave them the tickets which they took. And the six ponies on the other side are giggling for reasons they dont know. 'Must have been the face I made when I stared at the floating tickets.' Vernon thought to himself.

"What is the Grand Galloping Gala?" Stelle asked. The seven ponies sat there and looked at them like they were the stupidest people on the planet. The pony known as Rarity said "The Gala is a royal ball held to celebrate the founding of Equestria and the completion of Canterlot. The high-class ponies usually get invited every year." Spitfire butted in "And we do airshows at that ball sometimes."

"Whats Equestria and Canterlot?" Vernon asked. Twilight answered. "Equestria is founded when the three pony tribes made peace and thus the construction of Canterlot, which is this city, started."

Stelle yawned. "Could we sleep anywhere?" she asked. "You could stay on the guest suites for the night. You can move in with anyone of the any of the us which you've met tommorow morning." Spitfire said.

"Alright, where is the guest suites?" Vernon asked. "Follow me" Celestia said.


"Finally, a fucking big ass comfy bed to sleep in.." Stelle mumbled. "Make some room for me too sis." Vernon said. She grunted in response. As he finished removing his jacket and undershirt he moved to lay in the bed. And soon after fell asleep.
