Chapters Two Humans Two Equines
Two Humans Two Equines
I really hate mondays like it’s that one time of day, that you can just never shake the feeling that, “this day sucks” you know what I mean. Of course you don’t. Allow me to explain one monday that began a series of events that would have probably caused the fabric of reality to loop de loop into a black hole and back. Wait no that doesn’t make any sense.
Andrew threw his hands up into the air in frustration, he had been trying non stop for hours to write a good Science fiction story, that was in his mind, likely to blow the head off of the whole entire fan fiction internet community. However this was not to be the case. His writers block had become increasingly annoying over the last couple of days, and to make matters worse, it was monday.
“god damn it just work brain, I have the thoughts all in my head, why can’t I just put them on paper, my god, there people who write while on acid that are probably making better work than me.” Andrew sighed shutting down his computer, and retreating to his bed Where he indulged in his most treasured past time whenever he was pissed off. Throwing himself face down and screaming into his pillow, for half an hour. This is Andrew age 18 occupation none, favorite color, red, interests include, Art, being an Otaku, Whovian and a Brony. Interesting combination. However if this was all about him, it would be quite uninteresting. For across the ocean lied his trusted best friend.
Liam sat in his dorm, pacing over his computer, he like his friend, had serious writers block, like nothing you’d seen. Liam groaned his fingers still on the key board, still unmoving.
“Uhg, good lord, come on hands, just type something, I haven’t written in months, it’s time for redemption, soooo go !” Liam remained still. “Son of a !” Liam threw his hands up in the air, throwing himself into the bottom of his bunk bed. This is Liam. Age 18 occupation none, favorite color green, Interests include, video games, Hackey sacks, reading, being an Otaku, and a Brony. What these two boys don’t know, is that this boring monday of theres, is about to take a very interesting turn.
________________________________________________________________________
Andrew’s face twisted slowly in the center of his pillow. After screaming in it for half an hour, he figured he might as well, try and get out of the bed. He lifted himself off the bed slowly, moving back towards his desk. He really didn’t feel like opening back up his laptop, just knowing he would be tempted to write again left him at a lost on what to do. He slumped into the chair at his desk getting ready to open the laptop once again, his hands reached for the screen before freezing in place. Andrew’s body tensed up as a loud crash could be heard from his back yard, Andrew finally got out of the chair, racing to the window.
“What in the hell ! did a god damn plane fall in the back yard.” Andrew shouted, pressing his nose to the glass of his bedroom window. gazing out the window, he squinted as the back yard was overshadowed in a cloud of dust. Through the dust he could barely make out the color of something red. He rubbed his eyes and looked again to make sure his eyes weren’t screwing with him. There was something big and red in his back yard. Andrew let out an annoyed groan,thinking some dumbass pilot decided to drop his payload in his back yard. Andrew exited his room, and began making his way to the back door of the house, opening the door his throat was immediately assaulted with Dust. He began coughing, occasionally swearing at what ever force brought this disaster on to him. Trudging through the back yard, he began to see the red of the object he’d seen from his room. There was a dim light coming from two windows positioned on the front. Andrew suddenly stopped as he saw exactly what it was. The object in his yard, was a big rectangular red box. In the front of it lay two doors, each having a window where a bright light escaped from an unknown source. Andrew’s confused expression, turned into that of wonder as he marveled at what was in front of him. He thought to himself noticing that it kinda looked like the..Tardis ! It looked just like the Tardis from Doctor Who, only it was red, and lacked the police box logo. Where it would say police public call box, there was a blank slate. Andrew was now full of excitement. He ran towards the doors of the box. He raised his hand and cautiously knocked. He waited for a minute half expecting a certain time lord to pop out, but nothing happened. Losing patience, he pulled the handle of the door slowly, hearing it creak upon opening. Andrew slowly made his way inside the box, upon entering his eyes shot open. His mouth trembled as it slowly spread into a wide grin. He knew at this point, there would be no better time to say these words.
“It’s Bigger on the inside, ha ha. I always wanted to say that.” Andrew dashed to the main control panel, seeing it’s design was very similar to the Tardis from doctor who, only difference is where there would be the giant tube like contraption in the middle, there was instead a ring of computer monitors. Andrew looked up at the monitors which suddenly flashed to life, showing a variety of different locations. His thoughts were interrupted by a voice. Not the voice of the doctor, who he was expecting to come out, but a female voice from the computer.
“Welcome to the type 60. please state identification” the computer said startling Andrew
“Um Andrew.”
“welcome Andrew.”
“Yo um, magic red box, what exactly do you do ?”
“Type 60 is set for time, space, and mostly inter-dimensional travel.”
Andrews eyebrows shot up at this, realizing this thing just said inter-dimensional travel.
“where would you like to go Andrew.” It asked causing Andrew to think very carefully.Then it hit him. The whole multiverse to explore. Well that beats any monday, but he needed to go one place first.
“Alright um type 60, wait no um that name sounds a bit stupid.” Andrew said pondering to himself.
“What would you prefer to call me.” The computer asked. Andrew thought for a second his eyes widened then he answered.
“B.R.I.T. big, red, inter-dimensional thingy.” He proclaimed proudly.
“new name accepted, where would you like to go ?” BRIT asked
“Boston Massachusetts. Theres someone I have to pick up.” Andrew said smiling, as he felt the whole box beginning to take off.
______________________________________________________________________
Liam twisted in his bed ever so slowly, feeling exhausted after his sudden rage quit. adjusting his head to his clock, he saw it was 7:00 pm. He sighed getting out of bed, wanting to get dinner from somewhere out. Liam suddenly stopped in place, as he felt his whole room begin to shake. He though for a second, thinking this was an earthquake, until he saw it. A red rectangular shape slowly materializing into his room.
“What the actual fuck, what’s going on here !” Liam exclaimed, as the box suddenly stopped shaking the room. Approaching it slowly, Liam was suddenly thrown back wards by an abrupt opening of a door. Liam shook his head looking up at the figure in front of him, a red long sleeve and blue jeans.
“Andrew ! how what, where, Why?” Liam stuttered.
“Heh you forgot when” Andrew replied smirking.
“okay, let me clear that up. When did you get a giant teleporting red box !” Liam asked shouting confusion in hi voice.
“approximately 12 minutes ago actually.” Andrew said helping his friend back on his feet. Liam’s faced fixed on the box. he stumbled past Andrew slowly making his way to the door.
“Isn’t this kinda like the..”
“Tardis yes.” Andrew cut Liam off as he pushed the door open revealing the marvelous interior of the box. Liam’s eyes shot open as he walked in. He paced around the main control panel, taking in the environment around him.
“Weeeell what do you think ?” Andrew asked an eager smile on his face. causing Liam to turn at him with a contemplative look on his face. Liam thought for a second then his facial expression turned calm.
“it’s okay I guess. could use some redecorating” Liam said nonchalantly. Andrew’s face went into shock.
“Seriously! thats your big statement needs redecorating ? uhg you know what, nevermind” Andrew said rubbing his temples.
“well besides that. what does it do ? time travel ?” Liam asked going over to the control panel.
“I’m glad you asked.” Andrew said as he Glided over to the controls. “Liam feast your eyes on The B.R.I.T.” Andrew stated proudly, only to be met by a look of confusion from his friend.
“Um why’d you call it Brit ?”
“It stands for big red inter-dimensional thingy” Andrew exclaimed.
“Hmm well it’s easy to see you came up with that.”
“oh shut up.” Andrew retorted pulling the lever on the controls.
“So you still haven’t answered what it does.” Liam said regaining his composure.
“Well if you’d let me finish my sentence maybe I would.” Andrew sighed. “It travels through The Multiverse !” Andrew proclaimed
“So what your saying is. That we can go to any universe, any piece of fiction ever created has a universe.” Andrew replied with a nod to Liam’s question.
“Wait so you know how everything works on it ?” Liam asked confused.
“Not exactly I had a little help.” Andrew looked up “B.R.I.T meet Liam.”
“Hello Liam.” BRIT answered causing Liam to jolt backwards.
“the fuck, it talks ?” Liam said mildly alarmed.
“Yup, she told me how to handle the controls.” Andrew replied typing something onto the key board next to one of the computer monitors.
“So where are we going then ? I’m assuming your gonna want to test this thing out.” Liam said moving over to the monitor. his eyes gazed at the screen which showed a mountainous landscape at night, at the bottom was a small town. Liam after a second recognized a giant tree in the middle, which seemed to have been turned into a house.
“You can’t be serious, you have to be screwing with me.” Liam said his voice slightly amazed.
“nope.” Andrew said as he finally pulled down another lever, upon this the box sprang to life. “ Onwards to Ponyville !”
______________________________________________________________________
Flutter Shy trotted quietly through the streets of Ponyville. Luna’s night had engulfed the town, though there were still towns folk out an about, either going to clubs, or doing nightshifts. Flutter Shy carried two books she’d borrowed off Twilight the past week. The yellow pegasus approached the Ponyville Library, moving up to the front door.
“Oh dear I hope I’m not disturbing her.” Flutter Shy whispered to herself. with that she knocked on the door. a second later a lavender unicorn answered the door, upon seeing Flutter Shy a smile came onto her face.
“Oh Flutter Shy, I didn’t expect to see you at this time.” Twilight said standing aside for the pegasus mare to enter.
“Oh I know, I just felt a bit guilty keeping the books for another night, I knew they were overdue.” Flutter shy said, hiding behind her mane slightly.
“Oh it’s okay Flutter Shy, I think I needed a break anyway.” Twilight said giving a small Yawn.
“Oh um is Spike still at that comic convention in Baltimare ?”
“Yeah, but he’s been sending a letter almost everyday.” Twilight said leading Flutter Shy into the mane hall of the Library.
“Oh so what have you been doing with your self Twilight ?” Flutter Shy asked inquisitively.
“Oh it’s nothing important, I’ve just been trying to write a story of my own. We’ve been on so many adventures, and just think that I haven’t been able to put any of that to paper. You know what mean Flutter Shy.” Twilight turned to Flutter Shy who had a confused look on her face.
“Um I suppose so If thats what you want.” Flutter Shy said still looking uneasy, while putting the books down on a near by table.
“Sorry Flutter Shy I guess I got a little carried way, I’m just a bit frustrated with having absolutely no ideas.” Twilight said sitting down on her haunches. Flutter Shy walked over to her friend resting a hoof on her shoulder.
“Oh it’s okay Twilight I’m sure you’ll come up with an Idea eventually.” Flutter Shy said reassuring Twilight.
“Thank you Flutter Shy but I’m still not convinced an idea is just going to fall right out of the sky.” Twilight finished her sentence before a large crash echoed through the library. Flutter Shy leapt up onto Twilight with a yelp, hugging her friend tightly.
“Ack Flutter Shy please can you let go !.” Twilight said gasping for breath. Flutter Shy loosened her grip.
“oh I’m so sorry Twilight that just startled me” Flutter Shy said apologetically
“Yeah you don’t say.” Twilight replied rubbing her neck.
“What do you think that was it sounded very big.” Flutter Shy said trembling.
“I’m not sure, but it kinda sounded like it came from my basement, we should probably go down there.” To This Flutter Shy’s eyes widened as she attempted to flee. Twilight quickly grabbed Flutter Shy’s tail with her mouth, dragging her along.
“Twilight wait, I think I forgot something at home.” Flutter Shy said in an excuse to leave.
“cerm ern.” Twilight said through clenched teeth as she pulled Flutter Shy to the stair case. Twilight let go of Flutter Shy’s tail before opening the door.
“Are you sure we shouldn’t get somepony to help.” Flutter Shy said still shaking. Twilight ignored her beginning the descent down the staircase, Flutter Shy following closely behind her. Upon reaching the bottom, Twilight found the source of the crash. In the corner of her basement was a big red box. on the front were two doors with two windows above each door, pouring out a bright yellow light.
“Wh what is it Twilight ?” Flutter Shy asked, her voice shaking.
“I have no Idea I’ve never seen anything like it, It’s...” Before Twilight could finish the door swung open, and two figures stepped out of the box, this caused Flutter Shy to hide behind Twilight
“Well that wasn’t my best landing but, hey at least were not dead.” Andrew said laughing nervously.
“Oh yeah yeah, not your best landing my ass. SLAP !” with that Liam slapped Andrew across the face.
“Ow ! what the hell man”
“You deserved it.”
“HEY!” Twilight shouted Causing Andrew and Liam to turn there heads. Upon seeing what got there attention, There mouths dropped.
“Who are you and uhhhh better yet what are you. “ Twilight said looking just as shocked. Andrew walked up to Twilight causing her to back away a little.
“Duuuuude It’s so surreal seeing what they look like in real life.” Andrew said turning to Liam.
“Really thats your interest, Im more surprised your box actually worked.” Liam retorted.
“Hey hello I’m still waiting for my answer.” Twilight said getting annoyed.
“oh I’d prefer we not yell.” Said Flutter Shy quietly still hiding behind Twilight.
“Oh yeah um where are my manners, um hi, I’m Andrew and this is Liam.” Liam responded by waving.
“Oh kay, and what are you exactly ?” Twilight asked still confused.
“humans, from the planet earth, well technically I’m from the Caribbean and he’s from Kentucky but it’s all kinda the same place.” Andrew replied.
“Humans ?” Twilight exclaimed her face brightening.
“Isn’t that what Lyra’s always talking about ?” Flutter Shy asked peeking out slightly.
“Yeah and here I thought she was just some crazypony. I mean humans things of myth and legend in my library, my mind is blown ! ” Twilight said letting out a squee.
“Well that only makes sense, since unicorns and pegasi are myth where were from.” Andrew replied proudly.
“yeah so is mlp.” Liam whispered under his breath.
Seeing the friendlier atmosphere Flutter Shy deiced to come out from behind Twilight to get a closer look at the two boys.
“This is just so amazing the things I could learn from you um oh, I forgot, my name is Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said smiling Sheepishly.
Even though the two boys knew who these two ponies were, they decided it would be best not to reveal it. Breaking his gaze from Twilight Andrew saw Flutter Shy step forward.
“Um hi i’m Flutter Shy.” Said the timid pegasus. hiding once again behind her mane. Andrew’s inner brony at this point was just so tempted to scream out the words awwwww.
“Don’t worry yourself Flutter Shy were not gonna hurt you, we were just testing out our multiverse traveler.” Upon hearing Andrew’s words Twilight’s eyes shot open.
“Did you just say multiverse traveler !” Twilight asked rushing up to Andrew invading his personal space greatly.
“Um yeah I call it the B.R.I.T big red inter-dimensional thingy.” Andrew said easing Twilight off.
“So it travels through different dimensions. Your from a different dimension !” Twilight exclaimed.
“Oh my, that sounds amazing. What are the animals like in your world ?” Flutter Shy asked trotting forward.
“Not much different from the ones here I’d say.” Said Liam joining the conversation.
“Oh wow that sounds interesting, I’d love to see animals from different worlds.” Flutter Shy said gazing upwards imagining what it was like.
“Well why don’t you tag along with us miss Sparkle and Shy.” Andrew said dancing over to the BRIT, “you’d be surprised how much room we have.” Andrew said laughing a little.
“You want us to come with you ?” Twilight asked semi excited but at the same time a little hesitant. Liam looked over at Andrew.
“Yeah man you want more passengers, I mean yeah we have so much space it’s not even funny, but I don’t know if..” Liam was cut off by Flutter Shy.
“Um I’d be up for it, but I don’t know if I can leave my animals unattended.” Flutter Shy said kicking her front hoof back and forth shyly.
“Don’t worry about it Flutter Shy, I’ll simply set the BRIT to bring you guys back around this same time when we are done. It does also have slight time travel capabilities.” Andrew replied opening the front doors.
“Well um if thats true, then sure I’ll come.” Flutter Shy said slowly Approaching the doors, she turned around to Twilight. “Twilight ?” flutter Shy asked her friend indicating if she was coming or not. Twilight look uneasily, at the ground deep in thought. She sighed and looked up a smile crossing her muzzle. “Exploring different dimensions, how could I resist.” With that Twilight happily trotted towards the door, followed by Liam. Twilight looked up at Liam.
“So exactly how much room did you say you had ?” Twilight asked
“heh well you might want to look and see for your self.”
Twilight and Flutter Shy entered the box, there eyes widening in wonder at what lay inside.
“Thats not scientifically possible, it’s..It’s Small yet big on the inside, h..how ?” Twilight said stuttering. Flutter Shy only continued to gaze in amazement.
“Yeah I don’t even know why it’s like that, but you learn to just role with it.” Andrew replied, setting him self down in the chair by the many monitors.
“I actually had a theory that it was like it’s own pocket dimension, buuut like Andrew said, you just kinda roll with it.” Liam said closing the door behind him.
Flutter Shy wondered up to Andrew by the computer monitor, Twilight eventually followed suit.
“so um Andrew where are we going to go ?” Flutter Shy asked, peeking over at the monitor.
“Well considering you want to see my culture and we want to see your culture, I chose a universe where are worlds actually met, believe it or not.” Andrew said typing the information into the computer.
“Really, that sounds fantastic, I’m so excited I wonder what it’s like.” Twilight said hopping up and down.
“Why does this universe sound so Familiar, have you talked about this on video chat, sounds like one of those weird fanfics you read.” Liam said smirking.
“oh ha ha, and yes I have told you about it, several times actually. You should listen more bro.” Andrew replied.
“Hey I listen, kinda, sorta, alright whats your point.” Liam said getting a slight chuckle out of Flutter Shy and Twilight.
“Well lets see what it’s like shall we.” Andrew pulled down the lever, and the boxed roared to life, after a minute it finally stopped. Twilight and Flutter Shy collected themselves looking around to see any changes.
“Um did it work, I mean it was a little anti climatic.” Twilight said
“Well I thought that too, then well, you happened.” Liam said nonchalantly.
“well let me check. BRIT What can you tell us about this universe, current events and events that will take place.” Andrew said getting an instant reply
“Certainly Andrew.” BRIT replied causing Twilight and Flutter Shy to jump.
“Wait this thing actually talks. Oh my Celestia this just gets better and better.” Twilight said having an ear to ear grin.
“Um please continue BRIT.” Andrew said getting back on track.
“Year 2022. location Manhattan New York Conversion Bureau. Time 8:30 am.”
“um miss whats a Conversion Bureau ?” Flutter Shy asked quietly.
“Conversion Bureaus were constructed on august 5th 2016, by authorization of princess Celestia and the United Nations. They’re purpose to convert human beings looking for a new life, into Ponies, through a special formula created by Twilight Sparkle. ” Twilight’s eyes widened at this.
“Princess Celestia is here I’m here, I created a formula that transformed humans into ponies ?” Twilight asked, looking over to Andrew.
“Yeah Equestria rose out of the sea here, everyone you know including your self exists here ?” Andrew said looking back to the computer monitor. “Um BRIT, what happens in the future here ?” Andrew asked hesitantly.
“four days from now there shall be a bombing on the Manhattan Bureau, The bomb is placed within the bureau . Princess Celestia makes the decision that human beings are a danger to them selves, shortly after forced conversions take place, as she attempts to convert every human into a the pony species. War between humanity and ponies break out, with humans eventually falling to Princess Celestia.” When BRIT Finished Twilight and Flutter Shy were shocked. Liam the same was with Liam , Andrew persisted with the questions.
“Who started the bombing BRIT ?” Andrew asked breaking the silence.
“The HLF human liberation front. And there leader Daniel Bremen. he plans the act, getting two members of the organization to place the bombs with in the bureau, They enter from the underground placing the explosives in the lower levels under the main dorms for Human converts. Bremen later detonates them from the headquarters. 9:00 am on friday.”
“where is the bureau?” Andrew asked.
“two blocks from our current location.” BRIT responded.
Andrew sighted and turned back to the rest of his companions. He saw Flutter Shy on the verge of tears, Twilight however was looking at him intently. She suddenly spoke.
“Well what are we waiting for ? somepony’s got to save this universe.” Liam and Andrew’s eye brows shot up.
“hey hey lets not be hasty I mean, we came here to just look around, no one said anything about saving, I mean these are fucking terrorists by the sound of it.” Liam said Twilight turned from Liam and glared at Andrew.
“why do you think you got this thing, you have the chance to save a whole universe, maybe thats why you have this. Only we know whats going to happen.” Twilight said still waiting for an answer. Andrew turned to Liam.
“She may have a point man. I mean all we have to do, is stop this Daniel guy from detonating the explosives. we have four days.
“Yeah but dude we could get killed captured, there danger involved, here, Like all over the fucking place.” Liam said exaggerating with his hands.
“who always told me to live life to it’s fullest hmmm ?” Andrew replied.
“thats not the ...uhg, good lord, fine you have a point, but do you honestly think we can do this.” Liam stopped as he felt Flutter Shy’s hoof on his shoulder.
“I think we can.” Flutter Shy said flying back to the floor next to Liam. Andrew looked over at Twilight and smiled, receiving one back.
“Well crew, I guess where saving this universe, and hey if this works I owe you all a soda.” Andrew said jokingly
“Dude you already owe me one hundred sodas.” Liam retorted.
“I’ll get you a soda Liam, whatever that is.” Flutter Shy said smiling sheepishly.
“Ha see somebody with class.” Liam said giving Flutter Shy a hoof bump.
“Alright everypony are we ready.” Twilight said preparing to exit the door.
“Wait !” Andrew said as he ran to a closet in the corner, pulling out two white collared long sleeves. One having a green tie and a red tie.
“Dude are those ties ?” Liam asked.
“yup.” Andrew said putting on the the one with the red tie.
“I hate ties.” Liam said annoyed.
“It’s greeeeeen.” Andrew said throwing it to him teasingly
“uhg fine. Carpe Diem !” Liam shouted as he put on the clothes.
Flutter Shy turned to Liam. “what does that mean.” Liam turned to her.
“Seize the Day. hey, we should keep that.”
Chapter 2 The Plan.
Author's Note
Since this is the first chapter, I'm going to look at the reception it gets. I actually have all the chapters completed, I'm just making sure there perfected before posting. But for now enjoy the first chapter. Feel free to point out mistakes, also the story starts out a bit crazy but I do have a story going.
The Manhattan Bureau
“Wow” was all Twilight could say, as the mare and her other companions exited The B.R.I.T. Into a vacant Alley. Flutter Shy shared her amazement, gazing up at the skyscrapers that towered above the alley. Andrew and Liam followed suit. Liam inspecting where they had landed, While Andrew simply walked behind Twilight and Flutter Shy, taking in the scenery around him. He had been to New York several times enough to be used to the feel of the big city. However he still marveled at the infrastructure of this truly Unique city. Walking ahead of the two mare’s who were still gazing skyward, he checked to make sure they could leave the Alley without being noticed. He beckoned the other three out of the Alley and on to the main sidewalk.
“Twilight Sparkle, Flutter Shy welcome to New York City.” Andrew spoke proudly.
“Wow just wow. I thought this place would be big like Manehattan back home, but I never though it was this big. This makes Manehattan look like a small town.” Twilight said bounding around excitedly.
“It’s even bigger than Cloudsdale. It’s absolutely breath taking.” Flutter Shy said smiling
“Well I’ve only been here one other time, but even I gotta admit it’s quite a city. Liam said walking up to Andrew. “By the way dude do you know where everything is, I mean you tend to get lost sometimes.”
“Shut up I do not get lost ! and for your information yes, I do know where everything is. I’ve been here four times !” Andrew retorted.
“It’s okay Andrew I’m sure you don’t get lost to often, I’ve gotten lost a lot of times.” Flutter Shy said causing Andrew to give her a wtf look.
“Uhg, lets just get moving. first stop is going to be the conversion bureau, I think if we have a chance to warn them, this might go over a lot easier. Honestly I’m hoping that might go off without a hitch.” Andrew said nervously.
“Yeah and if that doesn’t work, what’s the plan B ?” Twilight asked
“Umm, not really thought of one.” Andrew said laughing nervously.
“Well look on the bright side, we got four days before the deadline, so everyone chill.” Liam said in an attempt to calm everyones nerves.
The group looked at each other, and nodded in agreement. Making there way onto the side walk, Andrew recognized the area, via the famous Macy’s store refreshing his memory. ,However, Andrew noticed something that defiantly differed this New York. pegasi earth ponies and unicorns, walked among everyday people. This caused Liam’s jaw to drop as he stepped in-front of Andrew. Twilight and Flutter Shy, were two surprised, seeing there own kind mingling with other human beings. It was Surreal for all four of them. Andrew’s head turned to the left, in front of them was the conversion bureau. Humans and ponies alike came through the two glass doors at the front, Andrew couldn’t really tell if they worked there, or had just been converted.
“There it is.” Andrew stated.
“Do you think they’ll let us in ?” Twilight asked looking up at it.
“Well, I have a hunch, lets see if I’m right.” with that the group made there way down the block towards the bureau. The four began to pass several different stores which seemed to captivate Flutter Shy and Twilight. Liam was also looking through the store windows, but unlike the others it was just for the fact he wanted to buy something. He suddenly stopped in front of one of those New York tourist shops, the ones that just seemed to sell endless I heart New York shirts.
“Hacky sack time !” Liam shouted as he dashed in the store
“Wait dude what the hell are you doing !” Andrew shouted as he ran after him, Flutter Shy and Twilight followed Andrew into the store. Andrew looked, around the small interior noticing most of it’s customers were ponies, heck even the cashier was a pony. Getting back on track, he turned one of the shelfs to find Liam kicking a hacky sack up an down about three times before dropping it.
“Are we seriously interrupting, this mission for a god damn hacky sack.” Andrew deadpanned.
“Oh come on we have four days. Besides I needed a new one.” Liam said tossing it up teasingly in Andrew’s face.
“Get that out of my face.”
“It’s not in your face it’s in my hand.” Liam continued
“Gets whats in your hand out of my face.”
“Guys !” Twilight shouted, causing Liam and Andrew to stop. Twilight then turned to Andrew.
“Look Andrew, he does have a point we just got here, why don’t we try and enjoy our selves a little. besides, I might want to buy somethings my self, a book or two, some souvenirs, to bring back to Equestria.” Twilight finished giving Andrew a face that literally spelled the word Pwease.
“ugh fine I guess we can shop for a little bit, maybe I can get something. oh and stop doing that pouty face, it’s to adorable.” Andrew’s comment made Twilight blush, Andrew tugged at his collar nervously. He felt it may be a good idea to pull out of there.
“Well uh anyway, lets head in.” Upon Andrew finishing Twilight bounded off into the store looking around excitedly. Flutter Shy went over to Liam who was still playing around with the hacky sack.
“Oh Liam you think I can have a try, if thats okay.” Flutter shy said dragging her hoof across the floor.
“Sure why not, but I warn you it takes skill to master.” Liam said dramatically before he put the hacky sack on Flutter Shy’s raised hoof. Flutter Shy looked at it with a look of determination, before letting it fly of her hoof, she quickly hit it with the other one continuing this process twelve more times before letting it drop. Liam stared in absolute shock.
“Oh I’m sorry did I do it wrong ?” Flutter Shy asked concerned. This caused Andrew to laugh hysterically.
“Ha aha ahaha. oh man Flutter Shy just put you to freaking shame ! ” Andrew said continuing his laughter.
“Oh whatever, don’t you have like shopping to do ?” Liam grumbled. Andrew, gave his friend a teasing thumbs up, turning to leave. He walked through the store, holding back his laughter. He went to the back section of the store, there he noticed Twilight in the back inspecting some books on the history on New York.
“Enjoying your self ?” Andrew asked causing her to jump.
“Oh Andrew sorry didn’t see you there. heh and uh yeah these are some interesting books, I might actually take a few back.” Twilight said putting one back on the shelf.
“I should take you to a proper book store back in my world, you’d probably go crazy. Seriously remind me to do that.” Andrew said causing the both of them to laugh.
“Oh I’d like that actually, very much.” Twilight said giving him a shy smile.
“Well I’m gonna look around, just go to Liam when you want to pay. He’s the only one who has money.” Andrew said turning the other direction. Twilight waved him bye. going back to reading. a smile still on her face from Andrews offer.
Andrew continued over to a small shelf in the back of the store. looking on the shelf at all the little novelties they had. Andrew looked up and noticed a dark grey hoodie on the top shelf, along with a red fez. He reached up picking the fez off the shelf and giving it a try. A voice suddenly jumped him.
“That hat seems to suit you.” The voice said with a short giggle. Andrew turned around to a girl who seemed about the same age as himself giving him a polite smile. She had long brown hair was wearing blue jeans and a mint green t-shirt. He also noticed she was actually pretty cute.
“Oh um thanks, heh well I think fezzes are pretty cool.” Andrew said returning the smile. both for politeness and his awesome Doctor Who reference.
“heh trying to get the most out of being human I take it.” The girl responded.
“Huh, I’m sorry, I’m not quite sure what you mean.” Andrew responded a bit confused.
“Oh I’m sorry, I assumed that you were like me. Sorry about that, I’m uh, planning to convert today actually.” Andrew’s eyes shot up at this.
“Oh well, hey, it’s no worries pfft, just a misunderstanding, but uh hey I didn’t catch your name.” Andrew said trying to change the subject.
“Oh it’s Lilly, Summers. um whats yours ?” She asked
“Andrew, It’s nice to meet ya.” Andrew replied shaking her hand.
“Like wise.” She said giving him another smile.
“So um you planning to convert today, that seems like a really big decision.” Andrew said actually intrigued.
“Well I’ve had a lot of thought about it, but I think I’m ready. My family actually moved to Equestria, I’ve kept in contact with them through the mail, but, I figure it’s time to go see them again, you know what I mean ?” Lilly replied.
“Yup absolutely, family, thats always important, and hey I hear life as a pony is pretty sweet actually.” Andrew said kinda unable to understand her situation properly.
“Oh, um personal question, you don’t have to answer, but, are you thinking of converting to ?” If Andrew was drinking water he might have spit it out.
“Oh um well I’m a bit iffy on the subject, you know, hands hooves, Kind of well, conflicting.” Andrew said stuttering a bit.
“Hey It’s okay you don’t have to be scared to talk about it, I was in your position at one point, but if you don’t want to talk about it, it’s okay.” Lilly said smiling sheepishly out of embarrassment.
“Na it’s no problem at all, but uh hey whatcha doing in this store if your planning on getting converted, I’m assuming shopping for an I love New York shirt is not on your agenda.” Andrew Laughed a little at his comment so did Lilly.
“No no your right about that. I’m here to buy this.” She held up a fairly small hoodie, with two holes on the top of the hood. “ A pony sized hoodie, I know you mainly go, well naked, but I kinda like something to remind me of being human.” She said taking a look at the hoodie.
“Hey if I was you I’d probably do the same thing. I‘d defiantly keep my tie.” Andrew said motioning to his red tie.
“don’t forget your fez.” Lilly added laughing a bit.
“Oh no we can’t for get that.” Andrew replied laughing himself. His laughter suddenly stopped as he heard Liam call his name. He turned to see him approaching with Twilight and Flutter Shy. Twilight was carrying one book on the history of manhattan. While Flutter Shy was carrying a hacky sack of her own.
“Dude what you been doing, it’s time to...” Liam paused as he saw Lilly. “Oh yikes, man I’m sorry, um god I feel stupid right now. Who’s your friend.” Andrew gave Liam a look that just said, “really dude really ?” Twilight noticed this and nudged Liam in his side to shut up.
“It’s okay, I’m Lilly. I guess me and Andrew kinda got lost in our conversation.” Lilly said blushing a bit.
“Yeah guess we did but uh, since you guys are here, uh Lilly this is my Best Friend Liam, and my other two friends, Flutter Shy and Twilight Sparkle.” The mention of Twilight’s named made Lilly turn towards the lavender unicorn.
“Oh my god your thee Twilight Sparkle, thats on the tv interviews and debates?” Lilly asked a smile on her face.
“Um yes, I guess?” Twilight said uneasily.
“It’s such an honor to meet you. You have been a big influence in my decision.” Lilly said proudly. Andrew turned to Twilight seeing she was confused, he decided to shed some light on the subject.
“Oh Lilly is getting converted Twilight.” Andrew said kinda urging Twilight to respond
“Oh well that sounds great. I do hope you enjoy your life as a pony lilly.” Twilight said forcing a smile.
“Andrew how did you and your friend meet two of the most important ponies in Equestria ?” Lilly asked excitedly.” Andrew could tell the other she was talking about was Flutter shy.
“Well now you see that is, well it’s a very long story, hehe, lets just say we met very recently.” Andrew said laughing nervously.
“Fair enough , so what are you guys up to, you seem to be doing quite a bit of shopping. I mean not that theres anything wrong with that, I mean heh I’m doing the same thing” Lilly said holding up the hoodie. Liam openly responded
“Oh where heading over to bureau.” Liam suddenly halted himself as he realized he just gave them away. Andrew glared at Liam intently. Lilly looked at Andrew in confusion then her faced brightened.
“Heh I suppose I’ll see you at the bureau tonight.” She turned to Andrew. “Guess you weren’t just thinking about it huh ?” Lilly said teasingly. Andrew began to panic.
“Wait no Liam’s delusional you can’t trust what he says, he plays with hacky sacks all the time ! ” Flutter Shy and Liam turned to Andrew shouting “Hey!” in unison. Lilly smiled and turned to leave.
“Liam, what the actual hell.” Andrew said angrily.
“I have to agree with Andrew Liam, we are suppose to be doing this in secret, telling people about it isn’t going to make our job any easier.” Twilight said sternly. Liam nodded knowing he’d messed up, Flutter Shy seeing this patted him on the back as to cheer him up.
“Now guys don’t be hard on him he didn’t mean to do it.” Flutter Shy said giving Liam a sympathetic look.
“Dude I’m sorry, look I wasn’t thinking, but hey it’s one convert, she’s one of.....wait where did BRIT say converts stay.” Liam asked getting excited.
“She said they stayed in the dorms, but I don’t see.” Andrew paused as he realized what Liam was getting at. “The bombs are in the floor below the dorms. If we were converts, we’d be able to have a better chance at stopping the bombers. Bremen can’t detonate bombs that aren’t set. Once the HLF members are caught, they can trace them back to Bremen and arrest him.” Andrew finished explaining, staring at Liam with shock.
“I know I know, I’m a genius.” Liam said smugly.
“Liam thats brilliant, absolutely brilliant.” Twilight exclaimed.
“Good job Liam, but um I have a question, what are me and Twilight going to do ? I don’t think we can pose as converts.” Flutter Shy asked.
“I actually have a solution to that.” Andrew spoke up putting his hands into his pockets.
“Well don’t get all mysterious, what is it ?” Liam spoke back
“You two are going to pose as workers. From what we know, Twilight Sparkle in this world, is an ambassador for Equestria, so is Flutter Shy, but the file I looked at said she currently still lives in Equestria.” Andrew turned to Twilight and Flutter Shy. All you have to do is hold off for the four days, until it’s time for me and Liam to stop the HLF members.” Andrew saw Flutter Shy and Twilight nod.
“you can count on us, Andrew.” Twilight said confidently Giving him a smile. Andrew chuckled, noticing she was pretty cute when she was excited. He then thought for a moment, did he really think she was cute. He shrugged it off.
“I know you’ll succeed, I have full confidence in you Twi.” she blushed at him using her nick name.
“well I guess we got our selfs a plan. Carpe Diem !” Liam shouted, The Cashier pony at the front desk turned to him.
“Hey are you guys gonna pay for that stuff ?” He asked.
“oh yeah hehe, hang on.” Liam said taking out his wallet.
The group of multiverse travelers, made there way from the store down to the bureau. Andrew now a lot more confident in his plan, kept his hands fixed in his pockets. Liam looked over at him noticing this new confident look on his best friends face. He only saw this face when him and Andrew played chess. It was the face, that showed Andrew knowing he was going to win. As they approached the front doors of the bureau, the group noticed a small crowed of people at the front doors. Ponies in white uniforms were stationed at different parts of the entrance. Andrew noticed a familiar face in the crowed, It was Lilly the girl from the store. Lilly turned noticing the group approaching, A smile came onto her face as she ran over to them.
“So you ended up deciding to come after all.” She said stopping in front of Andrew and Liam.
“Well after meeting you today, it almost gave me a bit more confidence. I think I’m making the right decision.” Andrew said feeling a slight pang of guilt that he was actually lying to her. he pushed these thoughts back remembering this was to save all the converts, and hopefully this universe.
“Well hey I’m glad your here. I know we just met, but hopefully we can get to know each other through this.” Lilly said cheerfully.
“Well lots to talk about, lets get our selves through the door first. I’d like to get some hacky sack practice in.” Liam said throwing it up once.
“Yeah your gonna need it after that ass kicking Flutter Shy gave.” Andrew replied smugly.
“Hey keep that up and you see this hand, it’s gonna be taking a landing right down to Slapville.” Liam warned. This caused Lilly and Andrew to Laugh a little. Andrew finally pulled himself together. He turned back to the two mares. He gave a nod to Flutter Shy and Twilight to move in. The two mares saw this and moved towards the front entrance. Andrew couldn’t hear what was being said, but he saw Twilight speaking to a stallion in the front. After a minute, the stallion nodded and let the two mares in. Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, seeing phase one was already complete. His thoughts were interrupted by Lilly grabbing his arm.
“Hey earth to Andrew are we gonna head in, or are you gonna stare into space all day.” She said teasingly.
“Yeah Andrew get that afro perm of yours in gear.” Liam said. Andrew Looked around nervously at the comment, he really hated when Liam used that nickname.
“Uhg alright lets go.” Andrew finally said as the three made there way to the crowd. Lilly went in front of Andrew and Liam, there was a check point at the front, run by a single mare. She was purple with a light pink mane. Lilly approached the mare very slowly, reaching into her pocket for her wallet. She took out what appeared to be an ID card and handed it to the mare. She nodded and let Lilly inside. Lilly walked in waving back to Andrew and Liam, as if to say good luck. Andrew walked up to the mare. She looked up at him and began to speak in a cheery tone.
“Hello and welcome to the conversion bureau, can I see some identification for your name.” Andrew dug in his pocket and took out his drivers license. Liam saw this giving a scoff. Andrew knew it was because Liam didn’t have one yet. He didn’t like having it rubbed in. The mare took the license, looking at it intently. after a few seconds she nodded allowing Andrew to enter. Andrew saw Lilly waiting for him, the room he was in had about 20 other converts, all talking an socializing with one another. The room it self was huge, with several different pony’s walking around, Andrew could see the ones without uniforms where converts. Probably being taught basics of being a pony he thought. Andrew Suddenly felt a hand land on his shoulder, Lilly obviously got the other hand cause she jumped to.
“Liam god damn it !” Andrew said annoyed.
“Hehe that’s not meeee” Liam said jokingly
“Oh Andrew it’s fine, I thought it was kinda funny.” Lilly said laughing a little.
“Yeah funny the first time, after the fiftieth it just gets unbearable.” Andrew said giving Liam a playful punch in the shoulder. The three made there way over to the rest of the crowd, who’d now gathered around a blue unicorn with a slightly darker blue mane with white stripes. almost looked like toothpaste. Andrew suddenly realized this must have been Colgate. His thoughts were interrupted as she spoke up.
“Welcome new foals, thats you guys, to the bureau. Now since you just got in, I just got to run through all the basics that you need to know, while you actually stay here for your conversion. First food. As you all know equestrians do not eat meat, but don’t worry there is plenty of fruit and vegetables which will be available to you at all times. secondly is the use of personal devices. Phones, and any other electronic devices must be taken for your stay here, however they will be returned to you as you leave for your brand new life as a pony. If most of you didn’t know, you will receive lessons on the basics of being a unicorn pegasus or earth pony. The staff are here to help you, and support you in anyway, so don’t be shy to ask. Well we hope you enjoy your stay and we wish you the best in your new life.” Colgate finished in a very sincere tone.
Andrew and the rest then went through a check point, being asked to give in any of there electrical devices. Liam and Andrew were fine as they didn’t carry any. say for a watch, which was allowed. Lilly gave up her iPhone, hesitating a bit, but deciding it wasn’t anything to get worked up over. The three made there way from the check point to another room which was decorated an furnished very nicely. above the staircase were rooms arranged like you’d see at a hotel. Andrew figured thats where they’d stay, for the four days. he began to have a small hope that they would have cable TV. Andrew looked up to see a purple pegasus with a light blue mane fly over head, of the crowd. “Heeello new foals !” She said excitedly as she landed in front of the crowd, which at this point Andrew Liam and Lilly had moved to.
“I’m cloud chaser, I’m here to teach you about pegasus basics, but for today, I’m just here to show you your dorms.” She held up a clipboard which the three assumed had there names on it.
“Well first let me tell you about this section of the bureau, the cafeteria is down this hall to your left. while the rooms you will be taking your lessons and having your conversions, is located to the left. For now I’ll let you get settled into your dorms, which are right up here.” The pegasus mare pointed upwards. “Your first lessons should be around 4:00 PM With our earth pony coordinator, teaching you pony basics, Can’t wait to see you guys for pegasi basics.” Cloud Chaser said giving a wink. Andrew saw the pegasus fly off as the crowd made it’s way up the stairs. There were more rooms than they were people, so they could really choose any room that they wished. Only rule was girls would be with girls guys with guys. Andrew and Liam of course decided to share a dorm. Lilly ended up two doors down from them with her roommate. Andrew and Liam walked in the dorm inspecting it. wasn’t much. Just a room a bunk bed, a desk, and a bathroom.
“Well in all fairness, it’s not much different from my room back at school.” Liam said setting his hacky sack down on the desk in the corner.
“Well I’m not complaining either, I mean, were not gonna be in here twenty four seven. I’m guessing we should actually head over to that class in a couple a minutes. It is almost four.” Andrew said turning to head out.
“Question dude ?” Liam abruptly asked.
“Yeah ? what’s up ?” Andrew asked one eye brow up.
“Don’t think I can’t see you have a thing for Lilly, and hey I’m not blaming you, she seems to have a thing for you, and she’s pretty hot.” Liam said causing Andrew’s eyes to shoot open.
“Look Liam I...uhg, whats your point ?” Andrew said knowing he couldn’t hide it. He couldn’t even hide it from himself.
“Nothing, just making sure you know that if thats the case, you have to tell her who you really are. Everything else, thats your business man, not mine.” Liam said giving his friend a reassuring smile.
“Um yeah, thanks man. Anyway enough of this talk, lets get to the lesson.” Andrew said motioning for Liam to follow.
“Uhg good lord. I went with you on this mission to get out of school, and look where I end up, back at school. Liam said walking out the door. Andrew closed it as he walked out.
“Oh chill it’s probably gonna be stuff we already know being taught.” Andrew said giving a small laugh.
“Yeah I guess we got that going for us.” Liam said nonchalantly.
“By the way, after this class we need to talk to Flutter Shy and Twilight.” Andrew said sternly
“Yeah I agree, we shouldn’t be out of contact for two long.” Liam said nodding
“Hey guys !”
Liam and Andrew turned to see Lilly walking up to them.
“Hey lilly. How’s the room and the roommate ?” Andrew asked
“She’s a little bit quiet for my taste, but overall ever-things good, I see you guys are heading for the class.” She said the usual cheery smile on her face.
“Yep, although truthfully I’d rather sleep for a couple hours.” Liam said
“Well I’m sure you can once the class finishes. It probably won’t be that long, I mean were learning basics of being a pony, not physics.” Lilly said jokingly.
“Well shall we then.” Andrew said motioning ahead. The three began to walk forward. Andrew flinched a little as he felt Lilly hold his hand as they walked. Liam noticed this and glanced at Andrew giving him a teasing smile. Andrew looked away, taking a quick glance at Lilly. He noticed the nervousness on her face, seeing thats why she was probably holding his hand. Or was it something else.
Author's Note
Chapter two. figured I'd put it out fast considering people are wondering where I'm going with this story.
Life at the bureau
Andrew Liam and Lilly got seated in the class, the other twenty converts had come in at different intervals, but once everyone was seated a mint green Unicorn, entered the room, She wore and excited Smile as she happily skipped into the room. Andrew recognized the pony as Lyra Heartstrings.
“Hello everpony, woops I mean everyone, that comes later.” Lyra said giving a soft chuckle. “ My name is Lyra Heartstrings. and I will be teaching you pony basics today. Our earth pony coordinator was busy, so I’m kinda filling in. Now as you know when you get converted, your life styles will change. I basically have to teach how we speak, what we eat, blah blah all that good stuff. Firstly how about we all get in the habit of everypony, being a pony, “everybody” unfortunately isn’t in the vocabulary.” Lyra moved to the board on the wall using her magic to write the word. She also listed several others, like hey was Hay. then hoof which replaced any phrase that would use the word hand, and where you would say god, you’d say Celestia. Of course Andrew and Liam already knew this. The other converts however began to practice the lingo, as it was quite new to them.
“Now for diet, as you know ponies don’t eat any meat, so basically all you have to remember is no meat really. As for how your body will function. Ponies have slightly more developed senses, some have specific senses but this differs if your an earth pony pegasi or unicorn like me.” She said smiling brightly, before continuing. “You of course will walk on four legs, which comes naturally to most New Foals. One last thing is formalities, you know saying please than you, and bowing to the princesses, but thats really all there is to that. As for magical ability earthponies, are able to use there magical ability to comunicate with nature, this also gives them great strength and farming ability. So if you become and earth pony, being a farmer is a very good job to get into. Now are there any questions, and don’t be shy, I love a good question.” As Lyra finished she saw a hand come up.
“Yes It’s about your princesses.” Andrew Lilly and Liam turned to who asked the question. They saw it was a man a bit older than they were. He had long black hair wore a pair of glasses, and had a very erie smile on his face.
“Oh yes what would you like to ask about them.” Lyra asked still keeping her cheery tone.
“Are they gods?” he asked in a tone void of emotion.
“We never really think of it that way but they are our beloved leaders, probably the kindness Ponies you’ll ever meet.” Lyra said proudly.
“Interesting, so you admire them greatly.” The man asked again
“Um yeah we do.” Lyra asked now getting a it uneasy.
“Forgive me but I really must say that I think you may be being kept in complete ignorance.” The man said. Lyra looked a bit confused. Everyone else in the room looked in shock at his comment. Especially Andrew and Liam.
“Well I...” Lyra began, but was cut off.
“Look at this logically. Equestria is made up of three species of ponies. Would it be hard to believe, that the two princesses are simply just a rare species, that the other species derived from, due to this you look up to them as creators, Gods. Where truthfully, there really there no more godlike than you or me. ” The man said with a smirk.
“Actually I disagree with that.” Andrew said speaking up. The man turned to look at him, staring at him with extreme interest. “Truth is the princesses are possibly derived from something greater. There are several things about Equestria that are unknown, for all you could know, Celestia and Luna come from beings that would be Gods, therefore, there citizens would be right to refer to them as such.” Andrew said rather proudly. everyone in the room began to nod in agreement. The man smiled.
“Whats your name ?” He asked.
“Andrew. Yours ?”
“Michael. Michael Bremen.” He said smile still on his face. Andrew and Liam went wide eyed as they looked at him, Andrew’s mind began racing. Was this guy related to Daniel Bremen ! No Andrew slap himself, this was paranoia, he was just some guy. Lilly looked at Andrew’s distress, eyeing him with a look of concern.
“Hey are you alright, you look like you’ve seen a ghost ?” She asked.
“Huh oh no don’t worry about it, I was just thinking about something.” Andrew said giving her a reassuring smile, before turning back to Lyra. Michael sat down, doing the same thing.
“I’m sorry for he disruption. I simply felt a point needed to be made.” Micheal said, but Andrew could hear the dishonesty in that apology.
“It’s fine, um. Alright well, thats all for today, hope you guys will enjoy the rest of your stay, and hey you see me walking down the hall, don’t be shy to talk ta me, always nice to make some new fiends.” Andrew could tell Lyra was uneasy from what this Michael said, it was in her voice. After the class finished, The three made there way out of the Class. Andrew and Liam, Where still thinking about that guy, there train of thoughts were interrupted by Lilly.
“Well that guy was a bit of a weirdo, don’t you think.” Andrew and Liam looked at her nervously from the comment.
“Oh come on I know your thinking about him. He didn’t scare you that much did he.” She said giggling a bit.
“Huh oh na just, well maybe a bit, but don’t worry about it. Just some weirdo, kinda had a weird Aizen thing going on thing going on though.” Andrew said laughing nervously. he turned to see Lilly kinda looking at him nervously as well. Andrew froze as he then felt the presence behind him. He turned to see Michael giving him a smile.
“That was an interesting point you made, Andrew.” He said causing Andrew to fake a smile.
“Um thanks, I guess we both have a similar interest in study, when it comes to Equestria.” Andrew said trying to sound polite.
“Hm it would seem so. Well I’d rather not keep you from your conversation. I’ll be seeing you Andrew.” Bremen finished, as he began to walk away. Andrew shuddered at his last sentence. He defiantly didn’t want to see him again. His thoughts however, were interrupted by Lilly. He turned to her, seeing she had a shy smile on her face.
“Um hey Andrew, since were kinda free right now, you want to hang out a little ?” Lilly said still looking very nervous. Andrew, was equally as nervous.
“ummm well I ....” Andrew was then caught off.
“He’d love to wouldn’t you man.” Liam said moving his friend closer to Lilly. Andrew glared at Liam.
“excuse me what about ?”
“I’ll check on it.” Liam interrupted. Andrew nodded understanding he’d go check on there other two companions.
“Carpe diem man” Liam said as he left.
“What did he say ?” Lilly asked inquisitively.
“Oh it means seize the day. It’s kinda our catch phrase.” Andrew said smiling a bit out of the silliness. Lilly laughed a little at it before turning to Andrew.
“So um I guess we can use this time to get to know each other better, I mean we literally just met in a tourist store.” She said meaning to be humorous.
“Ha yeah figure that.” Andrew said laughing nervously. Lilly saw this attempting to be a little less direct.
“Hey um how exactly did you and Liam meet, the two of you almost act like brothers really.” She asked leaning against the wall behind them.
“Well to make it short, he was a new student at my school. found out we were taking the same bus and he lived close to me. Well I suppose you know the rest. I’ll honestly say that even though he does do some stupid things, well we do some stupid things, I’d trust the guy with my life, and that’s the honest truth.” Andrew said proudly.
“Hey do me and yourself a favor, keep up that friendship, you see that very rarely in our race anymore, but these ponies, they treat it like oxygen, absolutely vital. I figured who wouldn’t want to have that life.” She said giving a small sigh.
“Hey Lilly how’d you come to the decision to get converted, I mean like the full story, Um we can sit down if you want.” Andrew said motioning over to a small bench in the corner. Lilly nodded, and the two headed over and sat down. upon sitting down. Lilly then began to explain.
“Well I was indifferent about it before my family converted. I was at school one day, my mom and dad, said they were gonna be gone for a couple days, they didn’t say when they’d be back. It bothered me a bit, but I decided to trust them. After I got home, I saw them, they’d been converted. They were welcoming me home offering for me to get converted, saying that Equestria had a better life.” tears began to well up in her eyes. “I.I shouted at them. asking them how could they do this, telling them I wasn’t going through with it, that I would never do it.” She wiped the tears from her eyes. “I continued to write to them after they moved, I knew how to take care of myself, and my dad left me everything that he owned. He said that when I’m ready, they’ll be there. So one day I saw Twilight’s commercial, and it got me thinking, would it really be so bad. After careful thinking, I decided I was ready.” She turned to Andrew, and at that moment there eyes met, Andrew looked into her eyes which rich shade of brown. She finally turned away blushing.
“Oh I’m sorry I...I” Andrew said stuttering, he really had never been in a situation like this before.
“It’s okay it’s just, before I met you, and found out you were going through my situation. I felt alone, having you here, It just puts me at ease.” Andrew felt a pang of guilt as she said this, he knew he couldn’t just blurt out I’m an inter dimensional traveler trying to say everyone.
“Lilly I’m glad I uh..I’m glad I met you as well.” Andrew said part of it being sincere
“I kinda want to ask, when it happens, when we both change, will you stay with me, when I go to Equestria to see my Family, I...guess I uh...urg how hard is it to say words !” She said a little flustered. Andrew at this point felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
“uh uh uh uh.” was all Andrew could mutter.
“Oh come here you.” Lilly pulled Andrew into a kiss. Andrew’s eyes widened, convicted this was a freaking heart attack, but part of him wanted this part of him thought this was right, and then there was the part that thought this is going to get really fucked up. They broke the kiss staring at each other. Andrew finally found his mouth to speak.
“Hey uh Lilly you know when you want to say something, but you just know you can’t, It’s so simple yet so hard.” Andrew stopped as he felt her hand rest on his.
“It’s your decision, I’m not going to force you, but I’d would mean the world to me if you stayed.” Lilly said giving a sympathetic smile. Andrew Knew he had the mission, but maybe he could work around this, I mean he couldn’t deny it, he liked her as well.
“I...I..” Andrew felt like he had a gun pointed at his head, how could he say no to her. “Sure Lilly...I...I’ll stay.” Andrew said figuring he’d cross that bridge when he came to it. He saw Lilly’s smile grow, as she leaned forward and hugged him tightly .
“Oh thank you thank you thank you !” Lilly said.
“Ack can’t breathe.” Lilly released her grip, blushing from embarrassment, sorry.
Andrew nodded giving her a smile, he then looked to see the two mares Lyra and cloud chaser giving them, “aww how adorable” looks. They saw Andrew noticed there presence reeling back.
“Sorry we uh didn’t mean to interrupt, ummm were gonna go now !” Cloud chaser said pushing Lyra off with her.
Andrew and Lilly burst out laughing.
_____________________________________________________________________
Liam began walking through the hall leading down to the cafeteria, he felt if he couldn’t sleep, he’d get some food. In the back of his mind, he wondered if letting Andrew actually get to know Lilly was a good thing, I mean there not even from the same universe. Liam shook his head seeing that worrying about it was a bit silly, it’s Andrew’s business he thought. Liam walked through the sliding doors, as he saw a couple people lining up at a chrome counter to get there food. Liam figured there would be no meat, but it didn’t bother him to much. He walked to the back of the line and grabbed a tray. The Line moved fairly quickly, an tan pony with an orange mane seemed to be the server. Liam finally came face to face with the Mare after about five minutes.
“Hi what can I get you.” she said with a polite smile.
“Oh um do you have any green apples.” Liam asked politely.
“We sure do how many would you like ?” She asked.
“Oh just one please, I’m not to to hungry.” Liam responded.
“Coming up.” she said as she handed him the apple.
“Thanks miss um ?”
“Carrot Top.” She said cheerily.
“I’ll remember that ?” Liam said as he walked to find a table. He scanned the room and found a seat he liked. However, he was soon halted bumping into something.
“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t...Oh Liam it’s you.” Liam saw it was Flutter Shy, right behind her was Twilight.
“Flutter Shy where..oh hi Liam, we’ve been looking all over for you and Andrew.” Twilight said.
“Yeah sorry about that, we were in some pony basics class, kinda took away from us looking for you.” Liam replied motioning Twilight and Flutter Shy to take a seat.
“So where’s Andrew right now ? is he okay.” Flutter Shy asked concerned.
“Huh don’t worry he’s fine, he’s just with Lilly at the moment, and don’t tell him I said this but I think he likes her.....like a lot.” Liam said emphasizing the a lot with his hands.
“What ? are you serious, uhg I hope he still remembers we have to do this mission, I mean we can’t focus If he’s having a romance at the same time, Isn’t he the one with the plan.” Twilight said a bit annoyed, but Liam also noticed she was blushing.
“Twilight calm down. Let em be, I’m actually curious to see how it goes between the two of them, I know we will probably cross the bridge where we have to tell her the truth, but for now, I’d just let them be.” Liam said taking a bit out of his apple. He took note that it was actually very tasty, best apple he’d ever had.
“Fine.” Twilight grumbled.
“Oh I think it’s sweet Twilight.” Flutter Shy said giving her usual kind smile.
“Well two against one I guess I lose.” Twilight deadpanned
“Well anyway, how have you guys been with the whole undercover thing ?” Liam asked changing the subject.
“Quite easy actually. All I had to do was say, that I was here for bureau inspection with Flutter Shy, and they bought it. I just hope the alternate me doesn’t show up.” Twilight said giving a sheepish smile.
“Oh and they gave us some nice rooms to sleep in as well.” Flutter Shy added in.
“Well thats good, um I really don’t know if this is relevant, but Andrew and I thought we spotted a guy in Class that was, well a bit suspicious.” Liam said grimacing.
“Well he acted a bit strange, but what really got us was his name, Michael Bremen.” Liam said lowering his voice. This caused Flutter Shy to gasp. Twilight however wasn’t convinced.
“Come on just because they share a last name, doesn’t mean there related. I’m not familiar to much with human names, but even I know there must be more than one human who have the same name.” Twilight said trying to calm everyone down.
“Look Twilight the guy just seems suspicious, you may be right about this being paranoia, but I still think we might be dealing with something else.” Liam said sternly, Twilight sighed, slowly face hoofing.
“Fine, me and Flutter Shy will keep an eye out.” Twilight said, causing Flutter Shy to yelp.
“W..we will ?” Flutter Shy said a bit frightened.
“Don’t worry Flutter Shy, anybody or pony comes near you I’m giving them a slap.” Liam said motioning to his hand.
“Oh thank you Liam, just don’t hit them to to hard.” Flutter Shy said giving a small smile. Liam laughed a little at Flutter Shy’s comment. This Pegasus was funny without even, trying, he figured they should hang more.
“Well Liam me and Flutter Shy should be heading back, We’ll meet with you and hopefully Andrew when he decides to come.” There was spite in Twilight’s voice.
“Your not Jealous are you Twilight ?” Liam asked snickering. Twilight blushed and then glared at Liam angrily. Liam recoiled a bit seeing Twilight pissed off.
“alright bad joke. hehe see you two in the morning.” Liam said Laughing nervously.
“Goodnight Liam.” Flutter Shy said waving to him, Liam waved back at his pegasus Friend. Making Friends with Flutter Shy, never thought that’d be on his list. Liam got up from the table figuring he’d check on Andrew.
_______________________________________________________________________
Andrew and Lilly were still on the same bench sharing stories of there school life and there Child hood, also having a strange debate on the best sodas. However, the kiss was still fresh in his mind, in a way it was one of the best things that ever happened to him, on the other hand it might have been the worse considering the circumstances, but right now he didn’t care, Lilly seemed to make him feel at ease, he simply loved everything about her.
“Okay okay, um hey question, what do you think about the princesses, I mean were gonna be loyal to them soon, I’m thinking we should probably have an opinion.” Lilly stated.
“I honestly think they do the best they can for there subjects, I suppose putting my, well hooves in theres is fine by me.” Andrew replied, almost forgetting he wasn’t really getting converted, but after thinking, what would it really be like, this was something that literally cropped up once he opened up to Lilly. He shrugged it off, continuing the conversation
“I know right. I mean having unicorn magic, and being able to fly is probably the physical definition of badass.” Andrew replied.
“Meh to bad we can’t really become one of those. I honestly wonder how you’d look as an alicorn, you’d probably request some kind of fez crown.” Lilly said laughing out loud, Andrew joined in her laughter. The Pony that introduced them to the bureau Colgate, saw the two of them laughing, She trotted over to them curious as to what was up.
“Hey there guys, you two seem to be having fun.” Colgate said giving a small giggle.
“Oh your the pony that introduced us in the front.” Lilly said giving the unicorn mare a smile.
“Yep, My names Minuette, whats yours ? I saw you in the crowed never got to know you.” Andrew’s eyes widened that her name wasn’t Colgate ? But he then remembered Equestria probably didn’t have a toothpaste company of that name. It was a bit silly to think she’d be named that.
“ I’m Andrew.”
“I’m Lilly.”
“Nice to meet the two of you, I’m gonna take a guess here, you planning on moving to Equestria together ?” Minuette asked causing the two to blush. This caused Minuette to giggle again.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be that direct.” Minuette said giving a shy smile.
“It’s alright, uh yeah we kinda have that in mind, I’m also looking forward to seeing my parents.” Lilly said looking over to Andrew.
“Well I hope to get you guys converted as soon as possible, I can tell you’ll be happy together, if I must say you make quite the cute couple.” Minuette said giving a wink.
“hehe thanks Minuette, um oh I actually have a question.” Andrew said.
“Sure what is it Andrew ?” Minuette asked with a look of interest on her face.
“How exactly does it work, with how you guys are chosen to run the bureau, I’m assuming this wasn’t exactly your day job ?” Andrew said his inner brony wondering if Minuette actually was a dentist.
“Oh me well I acutally studied at Celestia’s school for gifted Unicorns, however I found my passion was more in Dentistry than magic.” Andrew silently mouthed “called it.”
“But because of my magical knowledge, I was made the head of this bureau, and your teacher on Unicorn Basics.” She said happily.
“Oh your going to be teaching us ?” Lilly said in excitement.
“Yup right after the lesson on pegasi. So don’t be late” She said proudly.
“We’ll keep that in mind.” Andrew said giving a small chuckle.
“Well anyway, I should probably get back to work, you guys should head off to bed, don’t want to be falling asleep in the lessons.” She said jokingly.
“Yeah your probably right, well goodnight then Minuette.” Andrew said politely.
“Night guys.” Minuette said as she trotted off. Lilly turned over to Andrew.
“I guess I’ll see you in the morning then.” Lilly said
“Yeah, um, this was nice by the way Lilly. I had a good time.” Andrew said giving a shy smile. Lilly rolled her eyes giving him a teasing smile.
“I can tell you don’t really have much experience with dates huh ?”
“You picked up on that. I didn’t think I was that bad, come on, I’m new at this, I’m not exactly the suave romantic type. ” Andrew said laughing. Lilly laughed a little as well.
“Ha well who wants to be one of those guys anyway, there usually way to uptight. Your good just the way you are.” She said giving him a small peck on the cheek. This caused him to once again Blush. Lilly let out a small laugh.
“See you tomorrow Andrew, oh and tell Liam I said hi.” She said as she hurried up the stairs to her dorm. Andrew sighed wondering what exactly he was doing, he literally had never felt so conflicted about something in his life, maybe those crappy love songs had some kind of truth he though to himself. He got off the bench, making his way over to the staircase Leading to the dorms. He suddenly stopped as he saw someone Familiar. It was Michael Bremen, He seemed to be walking over to his dorm room. Andrew pitied that guys roommate. His suspicion of him still remained from the moment he heard his name, but really what could he do to the guy, If anything he just wanted to stay out of his way, he was creepy. Andrew suddenly lost his train of thought as he heard his name being called.
“Hey Andrew, dude wait up !” He turned to see Liam running over to him. He walked over to his friend, causing Liam to slow down a bit.
“Well how is everything with Twilight and Flutter Shy ?” Andrew asked now back to his serious self. Lima took a minute to catch his breath before answering. Andrew rolled his eyes a little at this.
“Well there is good news. They got in no problem, and they have there own rooms to sleep as well, incase you were wondering. now was there anything...Oh yeah, I talked to Twilight about our suspicious character.” Liam stated.
“And ?”
“She thinks were being paranoid.” Liam deadpanned
“Really Twilight Sparkle is calling us paranoid, yeah says the mare who panics over missing a friendship letter deadline.” Andrew said sarcastically.
“Well I mean what if she’s right, and even if she isn’t what exactly can we do about the guy, I mean we can exactly walk up slap information out of him.” Liam replied.
“Yeah I kinda thought the same thing. Look since we don’t really have much to go on. I suggest we leave him for now.” Andrew said giving a sigh.
“So um aside from that, how’d your evening with Lilly go ?” Liam asked with a mischievous smile.
“Good actually.” Andrew said simply.
“Really thats it ?” Liam asked
“Yup.”
“Can I have details.” Liam Saw Andrew begin to walk up the stairs following him.
“nope.” Andrew said holding in a snicker.
“I’m sorry do you want a slap, I’ll do it man !” Liam shouted as the two went in for the night.
_______________________________________________________________________
Flutter Shy and Twilight settled in there room, they had a similar room to the converts, consisting of a bunk bed a desk and a bathroom. Flutter Shy took the bottom bunk as she claimed she didn’t want to fall out of her bed. Twilight Sat in the top bunk skimming through a couple books she got from the Bureau’s Library. There were books that concerned, human history, and human culture, she was fascinated by some, and horrified at some information, seeing the violence that humans had committed, but she knew that wasn’t all humans, Andrew and Liam were nothing like others who raged wars. Her ears suddenly twitched at Flutter Shy calling her
“Hey um Twilight you awake ?” Flutter Shy said
“Um Yeah Flutter Shy, Is something wrong ?” Twilight said putting the book down.
“no nothing’s wrong, I just kinda wanted to talk, if thats okay with you.” Flutter Shy said. Twilight began to climb down the bunk bed to see here friend.
“You miss home don’t you ?” Twilight asked.
“I was just thinking, When we get back, we should introduce Andrew and Liam to everyone. Let Pinkie throw them one of her parties, I mean don’t you want to stay friends with them ?” Flutter Shy asked.
“Of course I do, look at what they’ve shown us, a whole different Universe, sure were trying to save it, but we’ve saved our world plenty of times, saving another seemed to be next on the agenda.” Twilight said with a silly grin.
“Yeah I guess so. I still can’t believe where in a different world, I sometimes have to keep reminding myself, to bad angle couldn’t see, I also wonder what other me is like.” Flutter shy said putting her hoof to her muzzle.
“Yeah I thought about that, but truthfully, I think it’s best we don’t know. The me here probably wouldn’t be able to comprehend, this whole multiverse thing, I mean I didn’t until I saw it with my own eyes. I mean it’s just beyond comprehension, I think this would have given Starswirl a run for his bits.” Twilight said proudly.
“Oh who’s that again ?” Fluter Shy asked curiously, causing Twilight to facehoof.
“I went as him last Nightmare Night hello !” Twilight said over exaggerating.
“Oh I remember, oh I’m sorry Twilight, I thought you were dressed as a hermit.” Twilight eye twitched, before she turned to go up the bunk bed.
“Twilight just um, I know this may be a bit forward but, why did you get all grumpy when Liam said Andrew was with Lilly ?” Flutter Shy asked causing Twilight to blush.
“Flutter Shy I wasn’t....I wasn’t grumpy, he just should be focusing on what we came here to do thats all.” Twilight said sternly.
“You know it’s okay if you like him. ?” Flutter Shy said softly.
“What no no no, arrg can we please move on Flutter Shy ?” Twilight pleaded. Flutter Shy rolled her eyes. Twilight then began to move up to the top bunk.
“Oh and Twilight about that Michael Bremen, that Liam talked about. Shouldn’t we do something to help assuming he is going to hurt every pony here.” Twilight’s eyes widened.
“Twilight I know you don’t believe Liam or Andrew, but could we at least do something that could actually get the staff to put a bit of suspicion on him, just in case. It may actually help Andrew and Liam. I mean if thats okay with you.”
“You really do trust them on the subject ?” Twilight asked receiving a nod from her friend. Twilight thought for a second, before, giving Flutter Shy a smile.
“Alright, I’ll see If we can do something. If Andrew and Liam are right about this guy. I might be able to corner him.
The end game
Andrew and Liam woke up the next morning, worn out from the day before. The alarm clock set for 8:00am. Liam almost ended up breaking the thing, as he usually slept in. The two yawned as them and the other New Foals made there way to the Cafeteria for breakfast. Andrew and Liam entered the cafeteria which had both the staff and converts. The two friends made there way over to the food stand, each getting a chrome tray. Liam approached the counter Carrot Top grinned seeing Liam.
“Morning Carrot Top.” Liam
“Oh it’s you good morning, oh I’m sorry I never caught your name ?” She asked politely
“Oh yeah I’m Liam, and this here’s my best friend, Andrew.” Liam said motioning to Andrew.
“Well what can I get you two boys, got plenty this morning ?” Carrot Top asked motioning to the food in front of her.
“Hmm you have any muffins ?” Andrew asked.
“We sure do.” She said hoofing one onto his tray. “and for you Liam.” She asked turning to him.
“Hmmmm yeah I think I’ll have a muffin and a fruit salad please.” Liam finally said.
“Sure thing.” She said giving Liam his order.
“Thanks Carrot Top.” Liam said.
“It’s no trouble at all.” She said giving a proud smile. Liam and Andrew then turned to look for a seat.
“Hey uh, what was that ?” Andrew asked a look of confusion plastered on his face.
“uh huh.” Andrew said continuing to scan the cafeteria. He stopped as he noticed Lilly waving over to the two of them. Andrew moved over to her, being greeted by her usual bright mood.
“Morning guys, how was your sleep ?” Lilly asked
“Not bad, bunks could be a bit more comfortable, but what you gonna do.” Liam said as he sat down with Andrew.
“Tell me about it, my roommates snoring doesn’t help.” Lilly replied grimacing.
“seriously she snores.” Andrew said snickering.
“Like you wouldn’t believe.” Lilly said laughing a bit.
“So hey Lilly after todays lessons, we could hang again if you want ?” Andrew began to suggest.
“Yeah that’d be great, I got noting going on, hehe although there’s not much to actually do here .” She said giving a small giggle.
“Hey come on guys I can only pre occupy myself for so long, why don’t you let me tag along this time, make this an actual hang out. Liam said laughing.
“Sure Liam, Andrew you don’t mind if Liam tags along do you ?” Lilly said turning to Andrew.
“Oh um na thats cool he can come.” Andrew said, he figured there really wasn’t a problem, I mean whats the worst that can happen. his head suddenly turned to see a familiar mint green pony behind him.
“Lyra ?” andrew asked cautiously.
“Yeah um can I talk to you guys, but not here, meet me in the classroom C after you finished your classes.”
“wait what is...” before Andrew could speak Lyra was gone. He turned back to his friends all having bewildered looks on there faces.
“Okay what was that about ?” Liam asked still confused.
“I don’t know, I just hope it isn’t anything to bad.” Andrew said looking uneasy.
“Well did you guys do anything or say anything that might make her want to talk to you ?” Lilly asked.
“No not that I know of, I guess we’ll have to go and find out.” Andrew said taking a bite out of his muffin. He then suddenly stopped chewing. This is the greatest freaking muffin I’ve tasted he thought. Liam looked over at him giving a smirk. Amongst Andrew’s enjoyment, he felt someone walk behind him, turning to see who it was he nearly flew out of his skin.
“Nice to see you again Andrew.” It was Michael Bremen
“um yeah, Michael, nice to see you to.” Andrew said trying to sound casual, he glanced quickly at Liam who was frozen in his seat, the same went for Lilly.
“Yes, it is, I did say we’d be seeing each other again.” He said, a strangely erie smile on his face.
“Well uh what can we do for you Michael ?” Andrew asked still uneasy.
“Oh don’t worry, I don’t want you to do anything for me. I simply wanted to ask you, do you really want to play this game ?” His question cut Andrew like a knife. He was on to them.
“that’s impossible you couldn’t..”
“Have what ? found out, heh you honestly think that I wouldn’t. Well allow me to tell you this, your mere check, has only accelerated my check mate.” Andrew was more convinced than ever. he knew, about his plan.
“Hm I’ll be seeing you soon, It’s your move, better make it quick, I will certainly be making mine.” With that he walked away. Andrew looked at Lilly and Liam, they both had looks of confusion on there face, however for very different reasons.
“Andrew whats wrong, what was that about.” Lilly asked
“I have a feeling were going to find out after classes.” Andrew said simply, seeing Lilly wasn’t convinced with his answer.
______________________________________________________________________
The following morning was very straight forward, the whole way Andrew just kept thinking about his encounter with Michael and what Lyra could want, especially with him Liam and Lilly. Could she have found out about Twilight and Flutter Shy. No thats impossible to trace to him and Liam. Or could it be that she has similar suspicions about Bremen. Speaking of him, how did he find out, is he really that observant that he can see the tiniest hint of suspicion. Whatever it was, he was likely to find out soon. Minuette had just finished off her talk about Unicorn basics, which was the one topic Andrew found interesting. He found Cloud Chaser, to be a bit boastful with pegsai basics, but it was still mildly interesting. However, there wasn’t much there he didn’t already know.
“Alright thats class for today. Oh and before I forget Andrew Liam and Lilly, can you head down to classroom C.” Minuette said causing all three of them to tense up. The three of them nodded and made there way over to the room mentioned. Andrew was already wondering how Minuette was in on this. He really couldn’t fathom what was going on. The three friends walked down the hall making there way over to Class Room C Minuette was right behind them. Upon entering they found Lyra and Cloud Chaser waiting for them. both of them surprisingly having smiles on there faces. Andrew glanced at them in confusion. He thought this was going to be something serious. Minuette closed the door behind them, and motioned them to have a seat. Liam was still a bit on edge, and so was Lilly.
“Okay I swear whatever it was I didn’t do it.” Liam said causing Andrew to face palm. Minuette gave a small giggle.
“Calm down guys your not in trouble.” She said, causing the three to have a collective “were not !”
“no of course not, we simply called you in here for some news.” Minuette said causing Andrew to cock his eye brow.
“Whats the news.” Andrew asked cautiously.
“Well theres a good side, and bad side to it.” Cloud Chaser said.
“Okay well lets hear the bad-side.” Liam said, receiving a nod from Cloud Chaser.
“We’ve received word that, the convert called Michael Bremen, might actually be an HLF member.” Andrew’s nearly bounded out of his chair. Who was the one that gave them the intel. Liam and him defiantly didn’t do it. then who. He though for a second before it hit him. “Twilight” he thought. She must of known that the staff would trust her judgement. She’s driving suspicion onto Michael that wasn’t previously there. Michael will start to feel cornered, and try to set up the explosives early. Thats why he confronted him this morning, he must have tied two and two together. Andrew still knew he couldn’t blow there cover. especially not in front of Lilly. However Lilly herself was beginning to tie things together herself.
“Andrew thats why he came up to you today. He must have thought you knew he was an HLF member. Lilly said almost shouting.
“Wait he spoke with you ?” Minuette asked, causing Andrew to mentally freak out.
“Um yeah.” Andrew responded nervously.
“What did he say ? did he confirm he was going to do something ?” Minuette asked freaking out her self.
“He was very cryptic, but I think whatever he’s gonna done it’s going to be soon.” Andrew said knowing he couldn’t hide the info anymore.
“I see, then we’ll have to do this quickly then ?” Minuette said trotting.
“get what done quickly.” Andrew asked now getting Frustrated.
“Were going ahead with the conversions early, and we thought, that we’d start with you.” Minuette said giving a sheepish smile. Andrew’s mind was now going one hundred different directions. He glanced at Liam who had a look of utter Shock on his face. Lilly however, had more of a look of mild excitement. She turned to look at Andrew.
“Guys can you believe this.” She said excitedly, running over and Hugging Andrew.
Andrew couldn’t speak, he was in an almost comatose state. His plan was full proof, yet he made so many blunders, now he was going to be converted, How could he stop Michael, as a newfoal pony, how would he turn back, all these questions were in his mind.
“Wait stop.” Andrew stated softly.
“Andrew what’s wrong, were going to be converted, isn’t this what you wanted.” Lilly asked, her expression turning to that of concern.
“No I..it’s just....I.” Andrew looked to Liam for help. Seeing his friend in distress Liam knew he had to step forward.
“Andrew your staying.” Liam said simply.
“Wait what ? dude !” Andrew said bewildered by his friends statement.
“I”m gonna go and stop Michael, I’m going to get Twilight and Flutter Shy and where going to end this.” Liam said turning to leave.
“Whats going on here! Liam, Andrew would you care to explain what the Hay is going on !” Minuette shouted getting frustrated herself. Lyra and Cloud Chaser, were quiet, shocked expressions plastered on there faces.
“Look everyone, were not here to be converted. We’re here to stop the HLF from bombing the place. Your not going to believe this but, we are from an alternate reality, and we traveled here to save all of you from this event. Now are you going to let me do that, or am I gonna have to start slapping.” By the time Liam finished everyones jaws had dropped. Minuette was the first to speak.
“Okay Liam you can’t expect us to believe that.” Minuette deadpanned.
“Seriously Equestria, mysteriously transports to earth and you think what I said is abnormal.” Lyra kinda shrugged nervously at the statement. Lilly was just absolutely speechless.
“Look Andrew, I know how you feel about her and don’t give me any bull that you don’t, cause you know fine well you do. I think you should do what makes you happy.” Liam said sternly. Andrew had never really seen this side of him.
“Liam dude...” was all Andrew could say. Liam gave him a smug smile.
“Come on man It’s me, and this is one guy. One good ol Liam attack in the nuts, and he’s down. Liam said before turning to leave.
“Liam you idiot stop !” Andrew said getting ready to bolt after him.
“Wait !” Lilly’s voice rang out through the room, she turned to Andrew tears now in her eyes. Andrew turned to her, a saddened look on his face.
“Is all this true what he’s saying ? that your from another dimension, and that your here to stop the bombing, and don’t lie to me tell me the truth” Lilly stated sternly.
“Y-yes. It’s true. Look, I couldn’t tell you, the idea itself sounded ridiculous but it’s all true. The Twilight Sparkle and Flutter Shy you met came with us from there dimension. It’s the reason I was afraid of being with you, but as I got to know you, I just found myself wanting to stay more and more.” Andrew said lowering his head in shame. Lilly’s expression softened.
“Andrew, I...I don’t know what to say.”
“Lilly Summers. I do love you, but, I can’t let my best friend go in there without me. I’d ever be able to let go of the fact that I let him kill himself.” Andrew said a look of determination on his face. He then turned to the door, He suddenly stopped feeling a hoof tap him on the back. He turned to see Minuette smiling at him.
“Your not going in there alone. This is my bureau, and I’m not letting anyone not my newfoals, not my employees get hurt.” She said proudly.
“Were with you on this Minuette.” Lyra said standing proudly next to her. Cloud Chaser followed Lyra.
“Your gonna need all of us, my friend no use trying to deny it.” Cloud Chaser said giving a wink.
“Wait you guys actually believe us ?” Andrew asked confused.
“Well, no not really, buts thats not the point. the point is you said you were here to save us, that you did everything to save the lives of everyone in this bureau. Now until you give us proof of the inter dimensional stuff, I can’t really fully believe you. However, it doesn’t mean I won’t help you try to save lives.” Minuette said giving a smile. Andrew’s look of confusion faded as he smiled back. He then felt a hand on his shoulder which he automatically knew was Lilly’s. He turned around to see to his surprise a sympathetic smile.
“Lilly look I don’t blame you if.” Andrew was cut off by Lilly putting her hand over his mouth softly.
“I’m coming with you, and don’t give me the stay here I don’t want to lose you speech. As far as I’m concerned Liam is my friend to, and I feel as much obligation to help him as you do.” Lilly said taking her hand off Andrew’s mouth. Andrew glanced around the room, in the eyes of everyone was determination. They were seriously ready to help him in anyway they could.
“Alright Carpe Diem everyone !” Andrew shouted.
_______________________________________________________________________
Liam ran down towards the hall that lay at the bottom of the dorms, according to what BIRT said the explosion took place around this area. He really didn’t know what he was going to find down there, but what ever it was, he had to stop it. Liam suddenly stopped as he saw two familiar faces in the Hall.
“Twilight ! Flutter Shy !” Liam shouted as he ran over to them.
“Liam !” Flutter Shy said tackling him to the ground in a hug. She let go once she saw she was crushing him a bit.
“Whoa whoa, ack calm down.” Liam said regaining his composure. Twilight trotted up to Liam a look of urgency on her face.
“He’s going to do it, we saw him go down the hall, he was talking to someone on, well from what I’ve read it’s a cell phone.” Twilight said causing Liam to panic.
“He was on a cell phone ? did you hear what he was saying ?” Liam asked glancing occasionally down the hall.
“No sorry, but we have to get down there I think he’s going to detonate the device.” Twilight said starting to panic. Flutter Shy glanced around Liam with a confused look on her face.
“Um Liam wheres Andrew ?” Flutter Shy asked confused. This caused Liam to look down. Flutter Shy looked at Liam sympathetically.
“Liam, wheres Andrew ?” Flutter Shy said her face saddening.
“He....lets just go, we don’t have much time.” Liam said storming down the hall. Flutter Shy and Twilight looked at each other with a grim expression before following. Liam found a door at the end of the hall. He began to tip toe towards the door, hearing a faint noise inside. Pressing his ear against it, he heard metal clanging, and several different voices he didn’t recognize. The two mares huddle behind him, there higher sense of hearing picking up the voices better than Liam.
“So whats the plan.” Twilight whispered.
“We go in there, you fight with your magic, I fight with my fists.” Liam said his tone serious
“Oh my, I...I don’t know if I can.” Flutter Shy whispered now visually scared. Liam looked over at Flutter Shy.
“Shy it’s cool, I actually need you to get help, incase it gets to bad for me and Twilight to handle. I’m not going to force you to do this.” Liam stopped as he was interrupted.
“No, I...I came this far, I’m not going to abandon Twilight or you.” Flutter Shy said, her face showing determination unlike anything Liam had seen on the show.
“Alright lets go !” Liam stated as the kicked the door in. The door flew open, the people inside being startled by the noise. Liam Flutter Shy and Twilight walked in, Twilight charged up her horn ready to fire at any moment. Liam saw that they were four men in the room, three of them were in the corner setting up, a device which he assumed were the explosives. In the middle of the room, was Michael Bremen, standing with a calm domineer, his confident smile still on his face. Bremen glanced at them through his glasses, the light of of Twilights horn, reflected off them creating a purple tint.
“Calm yourselves gentlemen. I was expecting company. Continue the set up.” Bremen finished in a commanding tone.
“Michael Bremen is it ?” Twilight asked anger plastered on her face.
“Ambassador Twilight Sparkle and Ambassador Flutter Shy. Now this is a surprise.” Bremen said his face brightening.
“Save it Michael were not here to chat with you.” Liam said causing Michael’s stare to fall on him.
“Hmm yes I suppose not, I remember you, you were at the table as well, but where is Andrew, I honestly expected him to come” He said causing Liam to glare at him.
“Oh shut up, honestly, I didn’t expect you to be this freaking talkative.” Liam said glancing over at the device. The men were now trying to set it up as quickly as possible.
“Well it seems you may have come in the nick of time, I’m very interested to see what your going to do.” Bremen said smiling devilishly.
“We’ll show you !” Twilight shouted as she fired a beam over at the HLF members. They flew backwards from the impact of the blast. They groaned in pain on the floor trying to get back up. Michael looked astonished, glaring at Twilight.
“Hmm I actually didn’t expect you to be this direct, you ponies usually find a more peaceful solutions, at least, thats what I’d expect from the likes of you.
“Peaceful my ass were not her to play any games with you.” Liam said as he charged towards Bremen. Bremen didn’t move or even show a hint of worry, this bothered Twilight a bit, did Liam know what he was going into.
“Liam attack !” Liam shouted, as he confidently went to kick Bremen right in between his legs. He suddenly felt his foot stop in place. Glancing forward, he saw Bremen holding it in place with his hand.
“Your far to direct.” Bremen said in an eerily calm voice, before kicking Liam in his ribcage. Liam fell to the ground clutching his chest in pain.
“Liam !” Flutter Shy shouted as rage began to take over her, as she charged at Bremen. Seeing this he simply smirked, putting his foot onto Liam’s chest. Liam’s eyes looked up and widened as he saw Bremen swiftly taking a pistol out. Flutter Shy abruptly stopped upon seeing him pointing it down at Liam.
“Well now, that I have your attention. If either of you step any closer, well I’ll let you take a guess. Also I don’t need those, to finish The device.” Bremen said hinting at the HLF workers who were now recovered from Twilight’s attack.
“Michael what are you talking about.” One of them asked.
“I’ll give you a hint.” Bremen said as he pointed the gun at all three of them, firing off three shots. Flutter Shy and Twilight screamed as the men fell to the floor. Dead. Liam looked up at Bremen.
“Dude your a fucking psycho !” Liam shouted.
“Thats a matter of perspective. My intentions were not for the HLF. My intention from the very beginning was to get the ponification serum.” Bremen said as he pointed the gun back at Liam.
“What why ?” Liam asked confused.
“To understand it’s properties. The serum itself has the ability to turn a human being into the three species of pony. This talk of Celestia being a god got me wondering of how much of it was true. Then I realized, She was no god, her power is just on a higher evolutionary scale.” Liam eyes widened at what he was hearing. “Creatures will always bow to those more powerful, and call them a god because they can’t truly understand whats before them. Thats why, I wanted a serum, that would turn it’s drinker into an Alicorn !”
“But why bomb the bureau, how would that help you !” Liam shouted out of anger.
“Use your head. getting the serum would not be enough. I need Alicorn DNA, a bombing, killing many of Celestia’s subjects would cause her to act. She’d finally leave her safe haven, giving me a chance to get what I desire. If I were to turn into a pony, theres a chance I’d lose myself. I needed to find a way to use the potion, without having it’s full effect, and I’m not going to let you interfere.
“You really are crazy. You justtify killing all these people, just so you can become some cheap god !” Liam said shocked by what he just heard.
“I’d never expect the likes of you to understand. Anyway, now that thats done, I’m going to activate the bomb, and your going to stay right there and watch. Any Questions ?” Bremen asked nonchalantly.
“Yeah I got one !”
“Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe ?” everybody in the room turned to see Andrew standing in the doorway, Lilly next to him, was Lilly, Lyra and Cloud Chaser.
“Andrew !” Twilight shouted overjoyed.
“Thats my name, and this, is mah fez.” Andrew said pointing to the red hat on his head.
“Dude where the hell have you been, it was like an hour ago !” Liam asked sternly.
“Hey you can’t rush perfection.” Andrew said smugly
“I’m not rushing perfection, I’m rushing.”
“Enough !” Bremen shouted interrupting Liam. “So you finally showed up, unfortunately for you it was to late.” Bremen said smiling.
“Michael stop this. I don’t want to have to do anything rash, your a bright mind, why don’t you just get converted, it could make you better than this.
“Become better ? Ironically that was my plan all along. I honestly don’t understand why you don’t join me in my pursuit.” Bremen said smugly.
“I could name of number of reasons why not. Look I’m giving you a chance Michael. Put the gun down. Now.” Andrew said sternly. Michael ignored him. This caused Andrew to sigh
“Your loss.” Upon Andrew saying that, Bremen felt something hard smack him in the back causing him to fly forward. He landed on the ground hard, the gun sliding a couple inches in front of him. He turned around furiously to find Minuette standing behind him proudly.
“Teleportations spell, I can’t believe someone as smart as you couldn’t see it.” Andrew said smiling. This caused Bremen to become enraged.
“Heh your right about that, it seems I’ve lost my most valuable piece in this game. However, your about to find out. Beating me always comes with a price. If I can’t beat Celestia I’ll fucking wound her !”
He saw Twilight now standing next to Andrew, and pointed the gun in her direction. Twilight gasped petrified by the sight.
“Goodbye ambassador.”
Andrew seeing what was happening pushed Twilight out the way. Twilight fell into Lilly’s arms.
“Andrew watch out !” Lilly shouted.
Everyone then went silent as the gun went off. Lilly finally screamed as Andrew fell to the floor.
“Andrew ! no no” She shouted kneeling down and holding him. tears began flowing out of her eyes. Andrew was now surrounded by Twilight, Lyra and Cloud Chaser, all of them having looks of fear and concern on there face. Twilight was crying her eyes out burying her face in Andrew’s chest along with Lilly.
Bremen smiled proudly, at his work, despite having Minuette holding him down. She levitated the gun out of his hand. However somebody suddenly grabbed the gun.
“Are you really going to shoot me Liam.” Michael said gazing up at him. Liam had the gun pointed directly at his head.
“I really should.” Liam said cocking the gun.
“Hmm You know you can’t, no matter what you might feel or think, you don’t have it in you to take a life, I can see it in your eyes.” Bremen said grinning. Liam let out a sigh of defeat, as he lowered the gun.
“It would appear thats checkmate. ”
“Check mate this you bucking monster!” Bremen, felt a hoof smack right into his jaw. the force caused his glasses to fly off and shatter on the floor. his vision began to blur. He looked up for a second to see Flutter Shy standing over him.
“Damn it” was all he could say before Flutter Shy through another punch, knocking him out.
Flutter Shy’s expression softened. tears running down her cheek as she looked on at everyone around Andrew. Flutter Shy turned to Minuette.
“Theres only one way we can help him.” The blue unicorn said simply. Flutter Shy understood exactly what it was. Minuette walked in-front off her, to the crowd now gathered near the door. They all looked at Minuette, there eyes pleading, and filled with tears.
“Is....is there a way to save him ?” Lilly finally spoke up.
“Yes. Try and get him undressed, I’m going to use the conversion potion.” Minuette replied
_______________________________________________________________________
Andrew felt a sharp pain like nothing he’d ever felt in his life. The pain was so intense that it causing him to black out. He heard voices all around him. he could only make out certain words.
“the potion”
“help him please help him !”
“don’t die on us man !”
he then heard a whisper
“Andrew please don’t do this ! don’t you leave me !” was that Twilight ?
The last thing he felt was the taste of grape on his tongue, not knowing what eles to do he swallowed. It was then, everything went white.

Once again The story is already written, so Chapters will come out quite quickly. We are nearing the end.
Ponificiation
Andrew’s eyes slowly opened, his vision was a bit blurry as he tried to collect himself, He looked at him self noticing he was still wearing his white dress shirt, blue jeans, and red tie. He frowned as he saw his fez was gone. He then felt cold air blowing in his face. Looking upwards he saw clouds passing over head. However, they seemed a bit to close. He forced himself to stand up. Upon standing he found he was on a tall and wide stone pillar. Looking around, he saw there were more that seemed to go on endlessly. He recognized this place, It was a place he frequently visited in his dreams, but why was he here.
“Alright, thats it. I’m dead.” Andrew said nonchalantly. Andrew then heard a small giggle from behind him.
“Far from it my dear subject.” Andrew turned to see who was talking to him. upon turning around, his eyes widened. What stood before him was white with a slight pink tint, It’s multicolored mane blowing effortlessly in the wind. Her muzzle showing a kind smile. Andrew Knew who this was.
“Princess Celestia.” He said simply.
“Yes.” she said giving a nod.
“How are you here shouldn’t you be in....wait, I know what this is. They.”
“Yes they used the ponification serum.” She said cutting him off. “You were dying, but your life has been save, I must say, most converts dream of Equestria, and are usually in there ponified bodies. You however seemed to have quite a different setting. “ Celestia said intrigued.
“Well this is kinda what I’ve called my dream world, I’ve seen it many times in my dreams, It’s almost a place that makes me feel safe.” Andrew said gazing at the sky.. Andrew then glanced back at Celestia. “Wait the others are they ?”
“Safe yes, you shouldn’t worry your self, my dear subject.” Celestia said walking over and placing her wing over Andrew’s shoulder.
“Why do you call me that ? your subject.” Andrew asked in a curious tone.
“My dear little pony, I thought it would be obvious. Ponification is to help human beings find a new life, and becoming a pony means I look after them as one of my subjects.”
“Um well so when I wake up I’m gonna be a pony. That should be interesting.” Andrew said, but deep down knowing he’d have to find a way to work around it.
“Well I suppose it’s time for you to wake up, but before I go I’ll say this, at the end of the day your hear” Andrew’s eyes widened as he realized she was talking about Lilly. “Good luck Andrew, I can see you’ll be doing great things in the future.” As Celestia walked away, a blinding light filled the world around Andrew.
He opened his eyes to see several figures looking at him. He recognized three ponies and one human. His vision cleared as he saw who they were. He recognized Liam of course, Twilight and Flutter Shy, but who was this other mare. She was colored light pink with a turquoise mane. She was wearing a grey hoodie Her eyes a bright green color. taking a closer look, he recognized who this was.
“L..Lilly ?” Andrew asked cautiously.
“Yes Andrew its me, She said leaping onto the bed, wrapping her hooves around him in a hug. Andrew found him self wrapping his, no not his hands, his hooves around her. Lilly eased up so Andrew could get a better look at himself. He seemed to have a tan coat,a bit like Apple Jack.
“Uh hold on man I’ll get you the mirror.” Liam suddenly spoke out. Liam brought over a small rectangular mirror and held it in front of Andrew. Andrew gazed in the mirror, seeing his full face. He was defiantly a pony. He saw his mane was a dark red color, and was a bit curly. his nose was replaced by a large muzzle. He swiveled his ears around playfully, which he found quite cute. His eyes were now noticeably bigger, They were a bright green similar to Lilly’s, and very adorable he thought, but the most defining feature was the horn that grew out from his head. A smile came onto Andrew’s muzzle at the realization. He was a freaking unicorn.
“I’m a unicorn ! sweet Celestia I’m a unicorn. wait why did I just say sweet Celestia ?” Andrew said before being put back into a hug by Lilly. He could feel Lilly had fully climbed on the bed, she was lying next to him crying into his neck.
“hey hey, It’s alright I’m fine I’m fine, and hey you don’t look so bad yourself Lilly.” Andrew said causing Lilly to lift her head off him. He saw a cute smile spread on her muzzle.
“I’m sorry I just, I was so scared you wouldn’t make it, I’m just so happy your alright.” she said giving him one more hug before getting off the bed. Andrew saw Liam in the corner giving a sympathetic smile. Andrew could see his eyes were red, was he crying ?
“Liam you weren’t crying were you ?” Andrew said smirking Liam recoiled in embarrassment.
“What na umm I knew you’d be fine, It’s just uhg. Fine I was crying there you happy ! but if you talk about it I’m gonna give you a slap.” Liam said once again over exaggerating. Andrew chuckled a bit.
“Hey dude it’s okay, I know everyone was worried.” Andrew said giving a sheepish smile.
“Worried !” Andrew turned to see Twilight stomping up to his bed side. He could tell she was pissed.
“You had me grieving, What were you thinking with that stunt ! I mean how do think you made Liam feel ! how you made Lilly feel ! How do you think I felt, you stupid stupid stupid ! ” Twilight finally broke down crying into Andrew’s chest. Andrew looked at her sympathetically. She looked up at him, the fur on her cheeks wet from the tears, her face was still stern.
“Hey tell you what, you get to be the one to teach me unicorn magic, how about that huh ? I think I owe you that much.” Andrew said giving her a smile. Twilight sniffed giving a smile of her own.
“Fine, but I get to be as strict as I want, and you better listen.” She said half jokingly.
“Yeah yeah come here ya big adorkable nerd.” Andrew said pulling her into a tight hug. even though no one could see it Twilight was blushing tears still rolling down her cheek. Lilly gave a small giggle while Liam simply rolled his eyes smiling. Twilight finally broke the hug. At this Andrew decided to get out of the bed. He slowly put his hoof down on the ground. It made a clop sound as he touched the floor. The rest of his body followed suit as he was now standing on four legs. Andrew saw Flutter Shy look at him with her usual kind smile. He noticed she hadn’t said a word since he woke up.
“Flutters you okay ?” Andrew asked warily
“Yeah I’m okay. My friends are safe, and so is the rest of this universe, we....we won” She said happily giving him a quick hug.
“Yeah I guess we did.” Andrew said softly, before the two split.
“Yeah plus Flutter Shy gave Bremen the ultimate left hook. Flutters has become the master.” Liam announced. This caused Flutter Shy to blush.
“Bremen, in custody ?” Andrew asked Cautiously. This caused everyone to nod. “Good.” Andrew said simply, wobbling a bit from being on new, hooves so to speak.
“So hows hooves working for ya man ?” Liam asked walking over to his friend, who now came up to about his abdomen.
“meh there okay hopefully it won’t be for two long, that’ll have them.” Andrew said giving the walking a try. Lilly went over to him confused at what he said.
“What do you mean it won’t be for to long ?” She asked now a bit sad.
“Well Lilly remember I’m not from here. Plus I’m going to have to use a disguise to maintain a human appearance, granted I’ll still be a pony underneath, so I still have to learn how to be one.
“Oh. I just...I wish I could spend more time with you. I wanted to be with you.” Lilly said looking down. Andrew lifted her head.
“Hey I promised I come with you to see your parents in Equestria, and I’m keeping my Promise. Besides, I got something to show you.” Andrew said giving her a smile.
“Wh what is it ?” she asked excited, but before Andrew could answer Minuette walked into the room.
“Ah I see you’ve recovered, and I must say you’ve become quite a handsome stallion Andrew.” Minuette said causing him to laugh nervously.
“Well I guess you’ve adjusted to the change. How are you feeling ?” Minuette asked.
“heh not bad, not bad at all.” Andrew said giving a confident smile.
“Thats good to hear. Now with protocol you should have been on your way to Equestira, but I can see you already have a ride.” She said giving Andrew a wink.
“Wait wheres ?”
“BRIT ? right in the main hall” Liam said answering Andrew’s question.
“Wait how did ?”
“Hey your not the only one who can work out how to fly her.” Liam said giving a smug smile.
“Hmm, well I guess it may be time for us to go then.” Andrew said stepping to leave the room. He then turned to Lilly.
“Well Lilly, It’s time to go see your parents, don’t you think ?” Andrew said motioning for her to follow.
“Oh I actually have an equestrian name now.” Lilly said shyly.
“Oh, what is it ?” Andrew asked.
“My name is now Lily Pond.” she said happily. Andrew chuckled a little inside at her last name. By all doctor who fans everywhere he had to do this.
“Well then come along Pond, we’ve got parents to meet.” Andrew said putting his hoof around her shoulder. She blushed giggling a bit. Andrew then turned to Liam Twilight and Flutter Shy.
“Well guys I suppose it’s time to go.” Andrew said He then saw Minuette come up next to him and Lily.
“Thank you, for everything.” She said simply.
“And thank you for saving me.” Andrew replied. Minuette Nodded and let the group leave the room.
Andrew and the group got back to the BRIT. A crowd of both ponies and humans cheered at them, as they entered the big red box. Of course Andrew knew what was coming next. Lily’s reaction was priceless. She trotted around the inside of the box. taking in the fact that it was bigger on the inside.
“This is just amazing I...I don’t what to say.” Lily turned to Andrew, who was with Liam at the control panel. Andrew turned to her giving a smile.
“Lily Pond, you haven’t even seen the half of what this baby can do.” Andrew said proudly.
“Hey Andrew um I know this may be annoying.” Liam said poking his now furry friend.
“This isn’t about the sodas is it ?” Andrew deadpanned.
“No, I just need to go home, I just remembered I got english homework, could you uh probably drop me off first.” Liam asked smiling sheepishly.
“uhg okay okay, I suppose I’ve kept you out long enough. Plus you’ve been through a lot.” Andrew said pulling down the handle. The box roared to life for about a minute before stopping.
Liam went over to the door and opened it, upon opening he saw he was in his dorm room. He smiled preparing to go out, but suddenly stopped from a hoof on his shoulder. He turned around to see Flutter Shy giving him a shy smile.
“I had fun hanging out with you Liam, I just hope we can see each other again.” Flutter Shy said causing Liam to give her a sympathetic smile.
“Flutters, with amount of fun it is having you around, I’m gonna make him take me back to see you.” Liam said giving the Pegasus a hug. “Oh and hey wait a sec.” Liam went into his dorm. There was the sound of clatter, before he reemerged with a dr pepper can
“Consider this a gift from me.” he said opening the lid, which made a small hiss. Flutter Shy took it in her hooves. She put her lips to it and took a drink. Her eyes widened as she let out a satisfied “Mmmmm”
“Ha I’ll be sure to bring more along next time.” Liam said turning to leave. He turned to Andrew quickly.
“See you soon dude. I can tell this isn’t going to be our last Adventure. Anyway I got a story to write, Carpe Diem !” With that Liam closed the doors. Andrew started up the BRIT again, tis time to take his two traveling companions back to Ponyville. Lily watched Andrew type in the coordinates, before seeing Twilight sitting near one of the computer monitors, alone. Lily saw this and a look of sadness crept onto her face. She made her way over to Twilight. The Lavender unicorn turned to Lily, looking at her curiously.
“Oh Lily um is something wrong” Twilight asked.
“I was going to ask you the same thing ?” Lily said sitting down next to her.
“I just....I just can’t get past the fact that...Andrew almost died saving my life.” She said sniffling a little. “I mean in a way I kinda blame myself for what happened.” Twilight then felt Lily embrace her.
“Twilight you shouldn’t blame your self for that. Besides he’s fine, theres really no need to keep beating your self over the subject.” Lily said Twilight turned and gave her a smile. breaking the embrace.
“You know your really lucky to be with him.” Twilight said. Lilly gave a look of uncertainty.
“Lily ?” Twilight asked seeing her change of composure.
“Twilight, you weren’t there when I got converted but, well from what I’ve heard all converts have a dream, and this dream usually involves the princess talking to the converts.” Lily said.
“your saying you talked to her, well I mean the one from your dimension ?” Twilight asked surprised.
“Yes I did, and I must admit, I’d never felt more comfortable around anyone in my life, but it’s something she told me.” Lily said now lowering her voice.
“What is it ?” Twilight asked now concerned.
“She....she said my heart was conflicted, and that I was going to have to make a certain decision if I was to truly be happy.” Lily paused. Twilight nodded as a way to urge her to continue.
“I want this one day with Andrew because we are both going different directions. You all came to my universe to save us, and in the processes, I caused Andrew to forcefully change, I mean he had a life, and now I’ve only complicated it.” Lily said sighing.
“Lily..I...” Twilight began but was cut off.
“But you Twilight, you like him to, and don’t you deny it, the way you reacted in the bureau, I saw you constantly crying panicking over weather he’d make it, I saw those hours you’d whisper for him to be okay.” Twilight became visibly sad, as she hung her head. Lily lifted the unicorns head, back up softly.
“I love him, but I only deserve that one day. I want to ask you to do me a favor.” Lily said giving Twilight a kind smile.
“what is it ?” Twilight asked.
“Please make him happy.” She said a tear running down her cheek. Twilight wiped the tear with her hoof.
“I...promise. I promise. Thank you Lily. I hope your life in Equestria, is wonderful.” Twilight said giving her a kind smile. both mares eyes were watery. They looked at each other, before giggling to themselves. They suddenly stopped as they heard Andrew coming over to check on them.
“Oh hey um Twilight. Were back in your Ponyville.” Andrew said motioning for Twilight to come. Twilight smiled at him following him to the door. She turned around to see Lily waving at her, giving Twilight a warm smile. Twilight waved back, before turning out the door. Flutter Shy followed Twilight slowly. She turned to Andrew.
“Andrew thank you. I hope we’ll see you and Liam again.” She said giving Andrew a hug.
“ah don’t worry Shy. Your my Traveling companions. I’ll come to pick you up, remember I still owe you guys soda.” Andrew said. He then turned to Twilight.
“Miss Sparkle you have been absolutely great having aboard. I look forward to seeing you in the future.” Andrew said, to his surprise Twilight rushed over to him wrapping her hooves around him tightly.
“Thank you. for saving me. If your coming back, don’t take to long.” She said, a tear dampening the fur on her cheeks.
“Um...yeah. of course Twilight. Of course. He said giving her a smile. He then waved Twilight and Flutter Shy goodbye before heading back into the BRIT. upon entering he saw Lily waiting for him.
“Well I guess it’s time.” She said, giving a shy smile.
“Yeah it is.” Andrew said smiling back.
Andrew started up the BRIT, setting the for the location Lily gave him in her universe. The BRIT suddenly stopped. Andrew motioned for Lily to follow him outside. The two opened the door of the box, and stepped out into the cool breeze of Equestria. in front of them was a small house, obviously of equestrian make. Andrew gazed at Lily giving her a smile. The two made there way over to the door. Andrew knocked on the door slowly. after a couple seconds, a yellow stallion with a brown mane and a Light green mare with purple mane, answered the door.
“Oh uh hello, who might you be ?” The stallion asked. He looked over at Lily.
“Dad, Mom it’s me, it’s Lily, well Lily Pond now.” She said tears of joy now flowing down her face.
“Oh my. Lily ?” Her father said softly.
“Lily...My little girl.” Lily’s mother said tears welling up in her eyes
Lilly’s father brought her into a hug, her mother joined suite tears running down there faces. The hug lasted for a whole minute until they broke off each other. Lily’s father then glanced at Andrew.
“Um and who might this be ?” Lilly’s father asked.
“It’s uh...long story dad.” Lilly said giggling. Andrew smiled sheepishly.
The day went past, through it Andrew met Lily’s parents. Lily explained how they met and what they did, showing her parents the big red box outside. Andrew through that time never left Lily’s side. to the very moment they went to sleep. Lily lay on the bed with him. She moved over to kiss him, savoring every moment she had left to spend with him. By the time it was over, she knew she had but one thing left to do. The flowing morning Andrew knew it was time for him to go. He said goodbye to Lily’s parents, before going back out to his Inter dimensional Machine. Lily knew if there was any time to tell him, it was now.
“Andrew.” She said getting his attention.
“Yeah Lily ?” Andrew asked. He stopped as she leaned in and kissed him passionately she both of them wrapped there hooves around each other, the kiss lasting for two whole minutes. Finally breaking the kiss, they looked into each others eyes.
“I think this is goodbye, you know I can’t come with you.”
“I know but, I just. I don’t want to go.” Andrew said his face showing a sad expression.
“Andrew I never told you this and it’s about time I do. You have to go. We’ve both been going different paths, and I’m not going to be dragging you along anymore. Yesterday, was the best day of my life and, I’m glad I spent it with you.” Lily said smiling at him, tears streaming down her face. Andrew finally understood something,that, it wasn’t in Andrew’s plan to become a pony. She blamed herself.
“Andrew, I promise you. I will always love you but, theres someone that deserves you more than I do, and you better get back to Ponyville to see her.” Andrew let Lily’s words sink in. His eyes widened at the revelation.
“Twilight ?” Andrew asked receiving a nod.
“Please, for me. I want you to be happy.” She said nuzzling his cheek. Andrew smiled sadly at her, he could see her mind had been made up.
“I’ll come back one day. One day I’ll come back.” He said kissing her one last time.
“I know you will, but for now, I wish you and Twilight luck.” Lily said standing tall. She knew this was the right thing to do, even if it hurt. She watched as Andrew trotted into the BRIT. tears dripped from his eyes. The box then disappeared. Lily smiled looking towards the morning sky.
_______________________________________________________________________
Twilight sat in her Library at her table, Tears streaked across the paper that lay beneath her. She finally had something to write about, she thought to her self, but then there was that nagging feeling. It had only been a day, and she already missed him. Twilight sighed leaning backwards. Since she got back she had gotten bombarded with questions by Spike, she figured she’d tell him the truth. Once she actually had proof to show.Twilight,let out a loud yawn, and got out of the chair, making her way over to the door, when she stopped. She couldn’t believe who was standing right before her.
“Hey Twi.” Andrew said waving his hoof.
“Um I didn’t think you were coming back so soon, um how was your day with Lily ?” Twilight asked, looking a little nervous.
“Unforgettable, and yes she told me what you were talking about.” Andrew said trotting over to Twilight. Twilight hung her head low.
“I’m...I’m sorry Andrew, I know how this must be for you.” Twilight was cut off by Andrew putting a hoof under her chin.
“Twilight. I will always love her, but I must admit, I noticed you had feelings for me a while back, I just wished I’d payed attention. To tell the truth I honestly didn’t think I was your type. I’m pretty mediocre in terms of academics.” Andrew said laughing a little. Twilight looked up at him nuzzling his muzzle. Andrew blushed at this.
“That should never matter, and trust me when I say Andrew your one interesting, well pony now.” Twilight said chuckling nervously.
“Well that’s one way of putting it, but uh maybe for now with recent events, maybe we could take this slow ?” Andrew said giving her a smile. Twilight’s face brightened, giving him a small peck on the cheek.
“Yeah I suppose I can work with that.” Twilight said with a wink.
“Well um what were you working on ?” Andrew said pointing to the paper on the desk.
“Oh just a story, and I uh...well I think I finally know what to write.” Andrew’s eyes perked up. A story ? he was trying to write one, so was Liam. could it be. Na coincidence.
“Well If your gonna work on that, would you like some help, I’m a bit of a writer my self. well amateur. Okay I’m not that good, but I do try” andrew said chuckling. Twilight laughed with him.
“Well could we probably go to where you live, to write it ?” Twilight asked excitedly. Andrew rolled his eyes and smiled.
“Sure why not, I’ve kinda been missing home anyway.” Andrew smiled motioning for Twilight to follow him over to the B.R.I.T. The two got in Andrew making his way over to the controls.
“I’m just so excited I mean I actually get to see where you come from.” Twilight said , moving closer to the new unicorn stallion.
“We’ve got the whole multiverse, and you want to see my house ?” Andrew said jokingly. Twilight simply giggled.
“Yup, lets go.” Twilight said giving an eager smile.
“Alright then !” Andrew pulled the lever.
“CARPE DIEM !” the two shouted.
