The Lost from Equestria

I quickly use a simple healing spell to fix the damage from my friend's assault. "For crying out loud, Tempest, did you have to buck me?!"

"Don't act all innocent Cosmic. You injected me with mind control serum!"

"What else could I do? You weren't moving!"

"I don't know, maybe a teleport spell?!"

"Tempest, you should know by now that even though I can use a teleport spell,  I can't use it on more than one pony per hour unless the moon is full." My magic was like that. I can cast all kinds of spells as I mentioned earlier, but most of those spells are limited, strengthening only in certain circumstances. The most common of these circumstances is a full moon and even then that only slightly increases my power.

"Huh?" I heard a strange sound.

"Cosmic? What is it?" Tempest looked worried about me.

"You can't tell me you didn't hear that."

"Hear what?"

"Break the Barrier" I would have recognized those voices anywhere, anytime.

"Cosmic, are the stars talking to you again?"

"Not all of them, just the ones that merged with the moon that day."

"You mean the day when the moon stopped talking to you?"

"Yes..."

"Break the Barrier"

"Break what barrier?" I said very confused. I started to walk forward "I don't see a wall any... ow." I had walked face first into the magical forcefield that blocked us off from Equestria. "Oh THAT Barrier."

Tempest was giggling at my expense.

"That still doesn't explain HOW I'm meant to do this, stars. My magic isn't THAT good."

"Uh Cosmic... you might want toooooooooo..." I looked over to her to see that she was staring up at the sky. I was expecting her to keep talking but she was petrified again. When I looked up I couldn't blame her; there were four stars falling from the sky... and they were all falling towards us.

"Tempest, get away."

"But Cosmic, what about..."

"Get away!"

With that she flew out of the danger area, but she was still close enough to watch me.

"Alright, I don't know what you are doing, stars, but I trust what you are doing." I charged up the strongest blast of magic I could and at that moment when I had reached my limit the stars collided with me and I could feel my magic surging within me. I unleashed the bolt of magic right at the force field. The effect was almost instantaneous. A hole about the size of a house opened up in the barrier.

"Tempest! Come down here, I think I did it." She swiftly came down to me and hugged me. "Caaaaaan't.....breeeeeathe."

"Oh Cosmic, thank goodness you're all right..."

"OUCH!" She had kicked me.

"But NEVER scare me like that again."

"Okay, okay but still, haven't you ever wanted to be where you belong?"

"..."

I walked through the hole. Then Tempest tackled me and we both went tumbling into the land of Equestria.

"What was that for?"

Tempest was giggling and started to blush. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me. It's just we haven't actually had fun since we were foals."

I started laughing too. "Yea we haven't played together since..." I stopped mid-sentence and Tempest had stopped her giggle. That particular topic was a sore point for both of us.

"...since our parents died." Tempest finished the sentence for me.

We walked in silence for about half an hour after that. It was then that Tempest collapsed.

"Oh, gosh! Tempest, are you okay?" I picked her up with my hooves but the response I got sent me laughing. She was snoring.

"Yeah I guess we have been awake for a while." It was a cold night and there wasn't any loose wood for a fire.

"Tempest might kill me if she wakes up before I do, but...." Purely for the sake of warmth I cuddled up with Tempest and went to sleep myself.

I woke up with a kick to the face. Is this ever going to stop?

"You-You!" Tempest was blushing fiercely. "I don't even... How could you..." She was at a loss for words.

"Tempest. Please. It was cold and I didn't know what else to do."

"You could have slept through it like I did."

"But with you being a pegasus you're more resistant to the cold than I am."

"That's no excuse. What you did was, was..."

"It was stupid, Tempest. I know that now but I wasn't thinking straight. It was late and I didn't know what else to do."

What happened next came as quite a shock to both of us. There was a loud repeating sound getting closer to us. Clackidy-Clackidy-Clackidy. As the sound passed us there was a large gust of wind. Before I knew it Tempest had picked me up and we were following the thing that was making the noise. When I saw it I was completely confused. I didn't know what it was; I'd never seen or heard of anything like it. It was a metal carriage with smoke coming out of a pole sticking out the top with large boxes on wheels trailing it.

"Think this is one of Discord's contraptions?" I asked Tempest calmly.

"Don't think so it's not chaotic enough. Why don't we follow it and see if we can find out what it is?"

It only took an hour before the thing stopped. To our immense surprise a lot of ponies got out of the large boxes and we realised it was something to ride in. We had stopped in what appeared to be a small town. It looked ordinary enough. The only thing that seemed out of place was a large crystal castle on the outskirts of the village. So of course we decided to go there first.

Along the way we bumped into a pink mare with poofy mane and three balloons as a cutie mark.

"Oh sorry, miss. Would you mind telling us where we are?"

She looked at us, gasped loudly and then ran off somewhere.

"Well, that was random." Tempest commented.

Aside from that encounter we got to the castle without any trouble after about a fifteen minute walk. I knocked on the door and after a few minutes a baby purple and green dragon opened the door.

"Ah, we've been expecting you." the dragon said calmly. I wondered how anyone could have expected us - we didn't even know we were coming here and no-one could recognize us because this was our first time in Equestria. Tempest and I walked in the door and it was dark. There was a flash of light.

"SURPRISE!" There were balloons and confetti everywhere, tables had been laid out with various kinds of food on them and about fifty ponies were in the main room. We had just stepped into a surprise party and it was a surprise alright! The pink mare we bumped into earlier came out of the main group.

"This is your surprise Welcome to Ponyville party. Were you surprised?"

"Yes, very surprised." I said not quite believing my eyes. "Can you direct us to the pony that lives here?"

"Okie Dokie Loki." The mare replied "But first LET'S PARTY!"

It was about two hours later when the party finished. Everypony left except me, Tempest, the dragon that showed us in (who was named Spike) and the pink mare who organized the party whose name was Pinkie Pie. Pinkie was leading us to the mare who lived here and Spike was following us. Then I heard someone call out.

"Pinkie, is your welcome party finished already?"

"Yes indeedily, Twilight. Also, the two ponies I threw the party for wanted to meet you."

"Okay, I'll be out in a minute."

"So this 'Twilight' is the mare who lives here?" I asked

It was the dragon who replied. "Yup. That's her, Princess Twilight Sparkle."

"Wait, I thought the only princesses in Equestria were Celestia and Luna?"

It was at that moment that the bedroom doors opened to reveal a pale purple coated alicorn with dark purple mane with one streak of magenta in it and a 6-point magenta star surrounded by five 5-point stars for a cutie mark.

"Sorry I didn't meet you earlier, I meant to come out but I kind of got distracted by this really great book I'm reading... you wanted to see me?" said the purple mare.

This is going to be a long day
