Sarah, Annabelle, and Sandra
Author's Note
Spoilers for the episode Twilight's Kingdom Part 1 and Part 2. Not major spoilers, but don't read it if you haven't seen it yet. I'm making sequels to this, so expect more fun with them!
Sarah, Annabelle, and Sandra
Annabelle Betram dug a hole in the soil with her bare hand. She took a tiny packet of seeds out of her brother's wagon and dumped them into the hole.
"Not too much," he warned.
"Ah know," she assured. She stopped pouring the seeds, and dug another hole to put the remainder in.
Sandra and Sarah made their way up the hill that was in the farm.
"Anna, what are you doing?" Sarah croaked, her voice cracking like usual.
"Uh.. Workin'."
"There's a new episode of My Little Pony on though!" Sandra informed her.
"What?!" The female yelled in shock. "Has it started yet?"
"It's on commercial break right now," Sarah said.
"But that was last time we checked!" Sandra yelled dramatically. "It could have started by now."
"Ah got too many chores to do though," Anna said glumly. "Ya'll are gonna have to watch it with out me."
"Go watch it," her brother told her.
"What?" Anna repeated. "What about mah chores?"
"Ah'll take care of 'em."
"Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Anna squealed, embracing her brother.
He smiled, and released her.
"Come on! Commercial break is probably over by now!" Sandra started racing down hill, the two other girls following her.
They ran all the way to Sarah's house (her TV was flat screen, and had the best quality) and plopped down on the couches.
The Hub was still playing it's commercials, the ones about shows that were premiering.
"Aww come on!" Sandra complained. "We've been gone for twenty minutes, and they're still playing commercials."
"That's how they make their money," Sarah implied.
"Shh!" Anna broke up their conversation. "It's starting."
Indeed, a tiny preview of the episode that was about to play was airing. Applejack was on it, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Then came Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Cadence.. and Discord!
"Discord's in this episode?" Anna asked her friends.
"I dunno. The commercial airing before about it didn't say anything," Sarah replied.
"A new villain is parading into town, and he's stealing everpony's magic," the TV announced enthusiastically. "And Celestia has sent Discord to stop him! What will happen? Find out now!"
"This should be interesting," Sandra gushed.
"I know!" Anna giggled. The start of the episode began. The mane six and Spike were walking into The Crystal Empire.
"Hey, do you guys remember when I totally saved The Crystal Empire from King Sombra?" Spike boasted.
"Yeah, Spike. Ya only mentioned it fifteen times on the way here," Rainbow remarked.
"Like you don't brag about your achievements," Applejack smirked.
"Point taken." Rainbow sheepishly smiled.
Rarity caught up with the stumbling Twilight.
"Why so glum, dear?" she asked.
"Rarity's my favorite pony," Sarah quietly added.
"I like Rainbow Dash!" Sandra implied.
"Applejack is mah favorite," Annabelle truthfully said.
"I don't know," Twilight began. "It's just it doesn't seem that my princess role contributes to all that much. I mean, we're coming to the Crystal Empire just so I could smile and wave."
"That may be true, but you're smiling and waving like a princess," Rarity comforted.
"How is that any different than smilin' and wavin' as a regular pony?" Applejack pondered.
Rarity shrugged, and Twilight let out a sigh.
"Oh, don't feel bad, Twilight," Sarah told the TV character.
"She can't hear you, Sarah," Sandra explained.
"I know," she replied. "I just want her to know she has my support."
Annabelle playfully rolled her eyes, as the opening began. The three girls bounced in their seats.
"♫ My Little Pony! My Little Pony! ♪" they chorused loudly. "♪ Ahhh ahhh. My Little Pony! I used to wonder what friendship could be. My Little Pony! Until you all shared it's magic with me. ♫"
Sandra stepped up into the center of the room. "♫ Big Adventure! ♪"
"♪ Tons of fun! ♫" They all-together sung again.
"♫ A beautiful heart, ♪" Sarah vocalized gorgeously. She was a great singer after all. Her parents paid for her singing lessons.
"♪ Faithful and strong, ♫" Anna took the lead.
"♫ Sharing kindness! It's an easy feat! And magic makes it all complete! My Little Pony. Did you know you are my very best.. FRIENDS!" ♪
And thus, the opening ended. Mrs. Bule rushed down, a towel on her dripping body, and her blonde hair filled with soap suds.
"Girls! I can hear you from the upstairs bathroom," she scolded.
"S-sorry mom," Sarah apologized.
"I don't mind you watching your show, but please, please, please be quieter."
"We will, Mrs. Bule," Sandra and Anna truthfully said.
"Good." She turned and walked back upstairs.
The girls were on part two, when they fell asleep. It was right around the part where Discord had betrayed the mane six. They witnessed that, but they fell asleep shortly after.
Anna woke up, and blinked in shock at what she saw. It was.. Well.. Equestria! Maybe she was dreaming.
"Oh thank goodness one of you is awake." A tall draconequss said.
"D-D-D-D-D," Anna stuttered.
"You must have hit your head pretty bad if you can't speak correctly," Discord jokingly said.
"You're Discord!" Anna screamed.
The creature took his talon paw and scooped her up by her hair.
"AHHH!" she shrieked at an ear-shattering pitch.
Sandra and Sarah started to blink awake as well.
"Annabelle, stop screaming," Sandra groggily mumbled, her eyes still half awake. "Discord's not going to eat Fluttershy."
"Eat Fluttershy?" Discord scrunched his nose.
The girl opened her eyes fully, and saw Discord standing there, holding his crying friend by the hair.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Sandra screamed even louder than Anna, despite her tough ways. She ran and ducked behind Sarah, who was also contributing to the loud screaming.
"Goodness gracious!" Discord covered his ear with his one free hand. "What is up with you girls and screaming?"
Sandra stopped screaming for a moment, and regained her toughness once more. She ran over to Discord and started to punch him in the gut. "Let her down you traitor!"
Discord looked down at her, a smirk on his face. "I'm sorry, but that doesn't really hurt at all."
"I can make it hurt!" Sandra threatened.
Discord smiled. "Doubt it." He quickly retraced back to Annabelle. "I was going to introduce myself, but it seems everypony here already knows my name. So, may I ask what you strange looking creatures names are?"
"Mah name's Annabelle. And we ain't strange lookin' creatures," Anna said. "We're humans. The only strange lookin' creature here is you."
Discord's amused grin turned into a frown.
"Oh boy," Sarah covered her eyes.
"She's gonna get it," Sandra cringed.
"I'll have you know, Annabelle, that draconequuses are not strange looking or ugly," Discord spat.
"Well neither are humans."
"Dude," Sandra yelled. "You can't just talk to a 200-pound dragon like that. You're going to get us eaten."
"200-pounds," Discord leaned down into the girl's face. "I wish. And two, I'm only half dragon. And three, I don't eat ponies.. Or whatever you things are."
"We're humans," Anna corrected.
"That's the kind of things that will get you eaten," Discord shot.
Anna crossed her arms. "Ah ain't scared of you."
"I am," Sarah whimpered.
Discord brought himself down to her. "And what's your name, little girl?"
"S-Sar-" Sarah quietly stuttered.
"You sound like Santa Clause." Anna was so close to the ground, she could touch her feet to it. She still couldn't get out of Discord's grasp, however, due to his tight grip.
"Santa Clause?" Discord thought aloud.
Anna smacked her face. "The guy who brings gifts to good little girls and boys on Christmas Eve."
"He's from a different world, Annabelle," Sarah told her. "He's not going to know anything about our world."
"I like Sarah better than all of you," Discord chortled.
Sandra and Anna looked at him, but Sarah blushed.
"So, what's your name, oh mighty feisty one?" the old creature asked Sandra.
"Sandra Lenard, if you really must know," she answered.
"Goodness, somepony's got a temper."
Sarah giggled.
"Sarah, why are you laughin'?" Anna asked, still being casually hung by her orange hair.
"He said somepony," she snickered.
"And?" Discord pondered.
"You say that in the show," Sarah couldn't contain her laughter.
Anna and Sandra face-palmed their faces.
"Hey, do ya'll mind lettin' me go? My head's startin' to hurt," Anna asked.
"Sure. My hand's starting to hurt holding you anyway." He dropped her to the ground, and she fell on her rump with a thud. "So, how did your girls get here anyway?"
"By sleeping, duh," Annabelle told him. "This is all just a dream."
"You don't feel pain in dreams, dear," Discord informed her.
Annabelle's, Sandra's, and Sarah's eyes shrunk.
"AHHHHHHH!" They all screamed again.
Discord covered his ears. "Dear Celestia! What's is up with you?"
"Oh, we're never goin' back home," Annabelle fretted, pacing in a circle with her fellow friends.
"I'm never going to get adopted!" Sandra whined.
"I'll never see my mommy and daddy again," Sarah cried.
Discord felt himself smiling once more. Their anguish amused him.
"This is your fault," Sandra quickly pointed a finger at the draconequus.
"My fault?" Discord asked.
"Sandra, that doesn't make any sense," Annabelle implied. "Ah hate to admit it, but he didn't do anythin'."
"I know," she grumped. "I just want to blame someone for this."
"You mean somepony," Discord corrected.
"I do not need your dumb puns right now!" Sandra snapped.
"That's not a pun, Sandra," Sarah squeaked.
"Ah! I can't even decide on a pun or a play on words right now." She sat down on the ground, and dug her eyes into her hands.
Discord flew his slender body by her. "Oh, don't cry, Sandra. You're supposed to be the tough one."
Sandra tried to blink her frustrated tears away. "I'm not crying!"
"Don't lie. What would Applejack think?" Discord then flew by Annabelle.
"Applejack!" Annabelle smiled. "C-can we meet Applejack?"
"And Rarity?" Sarah's voice cracked.
"A-and Rainbow Dash, too?" Sandra sniffled.
"Of course. They all live here," Discord truthfully said. "Follow me!"
"Okay!" They hopped after him until he stopped in his tracks.
He turned back. "Wait a minute. You'll never fit in like that," Discord said. "Everypony will look at you like you're an idiot. Except Lyra. She'll probably swarm you with questions."
"Agreed," they all said.
"Hm.. Let's get this straight." Discord tapped his chin in thought. "Annabelle's favorite pony is Applejack, Sandra's is Rainbow Dash, and Sarah's is Rarity."
"That's right," they replied.
"Well. Let me see what I can work with." Discord took another good look at them, and then snapped his fingers.
Instantly, the three girls were surrounded by purple magic. They felt hooves replace their hands and feet, and tails bud out of their butts. Ears poked out of their heads, and their hair changed color.
They plopped to the ground, feeling weak.
"It may take some time getting used to," Discord told them.
Sarah lifted her front leg, and saw that no fingers were left. "Oh boy.."
"Now we just need a name for you," he said, stroking his beard. "Annabelle, what's your last name?"
"Betram."
"And your favorite pony is Applejack?"
"Yup."
"Okay," Discord smiled. He tapped her on the head with his talon. "You're name shall be.. Apple Bloom!"
"Cool!"
"You are a hardworking pony that will work on an apple farm, and Applejack will watch over you."
"Can do," Apple Bloom smiled, and fluffed her red mane.
"Sarah, what is your last name?"
"Bule," the pale-skinned girl asked. "And Rarity is my favorite pony."
"Excellent! I have the perfect name for you," Discord tapped her head lightly. "Sweetie Belle!"
"Wow!" she squealed, her voice cracking.
"Your sweet nature makes you a sweetie, and your inner beauty makes you a belle, as in French terms. You will be watched by Rarity, who absolutely loves fashion."
"Awesome!"
"And Sandra, you little rascal," Discord smiled, his one tooth showing. "I think I'll call you, Scootaloo."
"Um, why?" Scoot asked.
"Don't you like your scooter?"
Scootaloo's face went pale. "How do you know that?"
"When I tapped your head, I got all your memory."
"Creepy.." Scoot croaked.
"Anyway, your wild spirit makes you the ideal student for Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in Equestria-"
"Hey, what gives?" Apple Bloom asked. "We don't have cutie marks."
Discord looked at her sternly for interrupting her. "All fillies start as, well I hate you use an rude term but, Blank Flanks."
"Darn," Scoot grumped.
"Never fret ponies," Discord assured them. "With your abilities, you'll earn them quicker than ever."
"A-Abilities?" they asked, looking at each of there bodies.
"Of course. Sweetie Belle has a unicorn horn,"
Sweetie looked at the magical horn atop her head.
"Scoot has flight ability,"
The peach filly flapped her tiny wings.
"And Apple Bloom.." He looked at the filly again.
"Ah can plant?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Oh yes, that's right," he chuckled. "You have the ability to plant."
"Well Ah have the most important role. I plant food for all the ponies," she boasted, looking at the bright side of the situation.
"Nuh-uh!" Scoot butted in. "Us pegasi make the rain so those plants can grow."
"Guys, I hate to break up your argument," Sweetie intruded in between them. "But how are we gonna get back home to our real families?"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot," Discord transported himself over to them. "Your families will be transferred here. You'll remain ponies forever."
"WHAT?" they all screamed.
"Look at the bright side, at least you're not a strange looking draconequus," Discord flicked Apple Bloom's nose.
"Well, I sure am gonna miss my hands," Sweetie twisted her hoof.
"When you learn your magic more, you'll be able to pick things up with it. You won't need your hands," Discord improvised.
"Wait: Our abilities don't work right now?" Scoot asked.
"Not until you learn them," he said. "All except Apple Bloom's."
Apple Bloom smirked at them.
"When will our parents be here?" Sweetie asked politely.
"Soon enough. For now, you can stay with your mentors. Now let's go to your 'big sisters'!" Discord skipped along the trail. "Wait! Stop again."
"Ugh, what now?" Scoot asked.
"I almost forgot. I have to clear your memories," Discord told them.
"What? We're going to forget everything," Sweetie asked, frightened.
"You'll remember who your mentors are, you just won't remember each other. I promise you'll meet again though."
"We don't want to meet again! We want to be friends-"
"Too late," Discord interrupted her and tapped all of their heads, making their eyes go blurry.
"So ya'll are blank flanks, too?" Apple Bloom asked the white unicorn and the orange pegasus sitting aside her.
"Mhm!" They nodded.
"Ah think we're going to be good friends." Apple Bloom smiled, hugging them.
