Most, if not all of my Equestria Girls stories involve the characters having regular human colored skin. It's just a pet peeve of mine, as I hate the art style of Equestria Girls.

The Other Side

At some point in the day, Arthur caught up with Fluttershy. He didn't know exactly how it happened, but one thing led to another, and then they started kissing. First it was simple pecks on the lips, but soon he and Fluttershy were in each other's embrace, their tongues dancing together in a passionate dance. He didn't know when they arrived at her place, but now they could have some private time.

Good, because Arthur was done waiting.

“Are you sure you're okay with this?” Arthur asked before kissing her neck.

“Yes,” Fluttershy breathed out, “Please Arthur, take me.”

That was all he needed to hear. He undid his pants as quickly as possible, and Fluttershy helped him with his shirt. He didn't dive right in though. He pulled Fluttershy into another passionate kiss, rubbing her flank with one hand and caressing the base of her wings with the other. She let out a lustful moan confirming his thoughts from before. That was an erogenous zone for her type of pony.

Right when things were about to get serious, Arthur's eyes moved up to the chair next to the window, where that dark blue princess was sitting watching him. This time she had a red and white bag floating next to her filled with some sort of white snack.

Wait... didn't he see her...?

“Am I dreaming again?” he asked sadly.

“What do you think?” the princess asked throwing one of her snacks into the air and letting it fall into her mouth.

Arthur woke up in his bed, alone, and with the worst erection ever since being with Olivia. That meant he didn't actually catch up with Fluttershy last night.

Right, he remembered. After she ran off, he just walked back home and went right to his room. He joined Twilight and Spike for dinner, but he didn't really talk to either of them. He just felt horrible. Thing was, he didn't know what he felt horrible about. Scaring Fluttershy away, or the feelings he had for her to begin with.

“Ugh...” Arthur said falling back onto his bed, “What a mess this turned into. Why couldn't you end up in an alternate world with humans?”

“Because that wouldn't be as fun.”

“Ahh!!!” Arthur screamed, seeing the man with the nice suit sitting in a chair with a cup of tea, “How in the world did you get in here?”

“Oh, that was easy,” he said sipping his tea, “Waiting for you to wake up was the hard part. Must have been having some dream.”

“You could say that,” Arthur said looking down, “Things aren't exactly the best at the moment.”

“Why not? You're in another world, right? It can't be any worse than the hell you were living in before.”

“You're right about that,” Arthur said, “This world is great. The problem is that I'm making a mess of things. That, and I'm falling in love with a pony.”

The man looked confused, “And... what's wrong with that?”

“She's a pony, and I'm a human!” Arthur exclaimed, “Look at it from my point of view. I mean, she doesn't really act like a pony, not from my world at least. But she's still... you know...”

“Ahh, feel like you're falling in love with an animal? Like consummating with her would be akin to committing some felony?”

“Something like that...” Arthur sighed, “But that might not matter soon. Honestly, the more I learn about ponies in this world, and the closer I get to Fluttershy, the less control I have.”

The man nodded smirking, “You'll be fine,” he said patting Arthur on the back, “These things have a tendency to work themselves out.”

The man walked over to Arthur's closet, walked right in, and closed the door. Arthur ran up to the closet to ask what he was doing, but when he opened the door, the only thing he saw was an empty closet.

“How in the world...” Arthur asked looking deeper into the closet. He was beginning to wonder who that man was.

That was for another day. He needed to get cleaned up before speaking to Twilight. Oddly, he felt the need to take a colder shower than yesterday. Why, he didn't know, but it definitely had something to do with his dream.

He didn't see Twilight at breakfast, which at first had him worried. According to Spike though, she was probably in her study doing some research. He didn't want to bother her, but Spike pushed him to go to her study, saying that “she'd be up there all day otherwise”.

He just hoped she was decent.

Arthur stopped in front of the door and listened in. No weird sounds. Good. He then knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Twilight said distantly. Arthur walked in and saw the Princess of Friendship surrounded by books, five of them open at the same time. Was she reading all of them at once?

“Um, I'm afraid to ask but...” Arthur began.

“I'm looking to see if there have been instances of humans entering Equestria,” Twilight said, not looking up from her books, “Unfortunately it's just like I said, you're the first human to ever land in Equestria like this. At least, according to known history. I think I need to go to the restricted wing in Canterlot Castle.”

“Canterlot Castle?” Arthur asked.

“That's were my teacher and her sister rule,” Twilight stated, “You haven't met either of them yet. Their names are Celestia and Luna. I have a picture of them here.”

Twilight used her magic to float a picture over to Arthur. In the picture was Twilight and two other alicorns. One was a white one in the center, with a really long multicolored mane that covered her left eye. She was smiling brightly and had her hooves around Twilight and the other alicorn, who was looking at the white one with an irritated expression.

Arthur recognized her! That was the pony he kept seeing in his dreams!

“That was taken on Celestia's birthday,” Twilight continued, “It was before her wedding with Discord, and she was feeling depressed, so Luna and I arranged a get together. That was the first time I had ever seen Celestia smile so much.”

“I know this pony...” Arthur said, still looking at the picture.

“Huh?” Twilight walked over to Arthur.

“This midnight blue one,” Arthur pointed to the irritated one, “I've seen her twice already.”

“Luna? How do you know Luna?”

“I don't know how, but I've seen her in my dreams twice,” Arthur said, “Odd, because I've never met her before...”

“Oh, Luna is a Dream Weaver,” Twilight stated simply. Arthur looked at Twilight confused.

“Dream... Weaver?”

“Right, the human world doesn't have magic,” Twilight reasoned, “Luna is able to visit ponies in their dreams. She usually visits children, but every so often she'll visit a grown up who's having troubling dreams,” Twilight looked at Arthur concerned, “Arthur, are you having nightmares?”

As the thoughts of his dreams came back to him, he felt flushed, “Um... well... my dreams have been interesting... to say the least...”

“Are you homesick?” Twilight asked.

“Believe it or not, no,” Arthur said giving the picture back to Twilight, “My dreams are of a different nature.”

“If you don't want to talk about it, I understand,” Twilight said putting the picture back onto her desk.

“I appreciate it. Actually, I wanted to ask you about something,” Arthur said, eager to change the subject.

“Oh? What's up?” Twilight asked.

“I ran into Fluttershy yesterday, and she mentioned that you have a portal that takes you to another world?” Arthur asked, “One inhabited by humans?”

“Oh yeah! The other Equestria!” Twilight said.

“Other Equestria?” Arthur asked.

“Well, that's what I've been calling it, but I think its better to call it the other Earth now,” Twilight stated, “But I'm not sure that's your world.”

“I need to see for myself,” Arthur said, “If it isn't, that's fine, but if I don't at least see it then I won't be able to completely be comfortable staying here.”

“Arthur, you're not thinking about... staying in Equestria, are you?” Twilight asked.

“Well, I don't know,” Arthur crossed his arms thoughtfully, “Like you said, you don't know how to get me home, and I can honestly say that so far I like being here a lot better than my world. I need to know just how comfortable I can get here, and to do that, I need to see if the other world is my world.”

“I guess it would be nice if you were just a portal away,” Twilight said, “Okay, I'll contact my friend Sunset Shimmer and have her meet us on the other side.”

“You have a friend over there?” Arthur asked.

“She's my best friend,” Twilight stated, “She used to live on this side, but things happened and she ended up moving to the human world.”

“She turns into a human over there,” Arthur said, “That means you'll turn into a human?”

Twilight nodded before fluttering her eyelashes, “Curious to see what I look like as a human?”

Arthur blushed looking away, “Um, well maybe not for the reasons you're thinking, but...”

Twilight giggled, “Don't worry, I was kidding. Besides, I'm already accounted for,” Twilight walked over to a book and began writing in it, “When Sunset gets back to me, we'll start heading over to the other world.”

“How are you...” Arthur asked taking a good look at what Twilight was writing. It looked like a letter of some sort. Was she going to send it out to Sunset Shimmer?

No, she set her pen down and waited. What in the world was going on?

After a few seconds, the book vibrated, making a ringing sound. Arthur looked in awe as words started appearing on the blank page. It was another letter!

“My God...” Arthur said mesmerized. It was honest to God magic...

“Okay, she'll meet us there,” Twilight said, “Let's go.”

Arthur was about to call after her, but she had already galloped away. He shrugged and ran after her, deciding that all of his questions could wait for another time.

Twilight and Arthur went to a secret room in the castle, where Arthur saw a large mirror hooked up to some magical apparatus. Twilight walked up to the mirror, actually walking inside the mirror, which rippled like it was made of water. Realizing that it was safe, Arthur quickly followed after her.

It was an odd feeling, almost like flying. He saw Twilight ahead of him, and it looked like she was changing into something else. There was a white flash and Arthur felt himself fall onto something hard. He saw someone hold their hand out to help him up, and he looked up to see someone helping him up.

They were a young woman wearing a really nice purple and white dress and high heels. She had long purple hair with a pink highlight, and was wearing a familiar tiara in her hair. She wore purple eyeshadow and red lipstick, and was built sort of like Olivia. Was this Twilight?

“Twilight? Is that...”

“Yes Arthur, it's me,” Twilight said, “Like what you see?”

“Um...” he certainly didn't hate it, but he found himself wondering what Fluttershy would look like as a human.

“Twilight!” another voice called out. Arthur looked out and saw a young woman about Twilight's age with long red and orange hair, wearing a red top, black mini skirt, matching high heeled boots, and a leather jacket waving to them. Arthur almost had a heart attack looking at how short her skirt was. Her legs were completely showing.

“Sunset!” Twilight called out running up to the woman and hugging her. She then escorted her over to Arthur, who was still awestruck, “Sunset, this is the one I told you about, Arthur Ravenot. Arthur, this is Sunset Shimmer.”

“Hey,” Sunset said simply. Arthur caught himself and elegantly took her hand into his.

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Shimmer,” Arthur said kissing Sunset's hand. Sunset laughed awkwardly.

“Where'd you pick this guy up? The fifteenth century?” Sunset joked.

“Try... the seventeenth,” Arthur said. Sunset was wide eyed.

“Twilight? Care to explain?” Sunset asked.

“It's a long story,” Twilight said, “Can we head to your place?”

“Now that's a story,” Sunset said after Twilight and Arthur finished telling her what happened over the last week or so. Her place was simple, but it was well kept. It looked to Arthur that Sunset lived there with someone else.

“And you've never heard of something like this happening ever in our world?” Twilight asked.

“Afraid not,” Sunset said folding her arms and crossing her legs, “I always thought that this was the only other world next to Equestria.”

Twilight looked down thoughtfully, “What about you Arthur? Do you recognize anything here?”

“Not a thing,” Arthur said sadly, “Actually, between the strange chariots that move on their own-”

“Those are called cars,” Sunset said.

“The box that shows moving pictures-”

“That's a television,” Sunset added.

“And with how little to the imagination your clothes leave,” Arthur turned back to Sunset, “No offense.”

“None taken,” Sunset waved it off.

“This place shocks me even more than where we just came from,” Arthur continued, “and that place had talking horses.”

“Hm...” Sunset walked over to where Arthur was sitting and started examining him. Arthur accidentally looked down at her chest, and averted his eyes when he realized just how much he could see.

“If I were to make an assumption,” Sunset Shimmer stated, “I'd say that he's not just from another dimension, but another century all together.”

“Wait, so time travel?” Twilight asked.

“At least that's part of it,” Sunset said finally standing up (Arthur was relieved), “Either way, I think we're looking at a one way trip.”

Arthur took that in, surprised by how almost relieved he was hearing that. He had started to truly hate the human world he came from, and there weren't any people he sorely missed at the moment. Also, if this was a one way trip, then his presence wasn't hurting the world in any way. The more he thought about his situation, the better it seemed.

“Arthur,” Twilight said moving to sit down next to him, “If you want, I can keep looking for-”

“There's no need,” Arthur said standing up, “Honestly, I don't have anything waiting for me back home. My former love bores me to death and doesn't support me, the church doesn't own everything over here, and it certainly smells nicer.”

“I'm sure bathing every day and night is a nice addition,” Sunset added.

“Sunset, don't encourage this!” Twilight said, “This isn't Arthur's world. He has to go back to his.”

“Why does he?” Sunset leaned against the wall next to them, “The ponies over in Equestria accept him, right?”

“Yes, in Ponyville,” Twilight emphasized, “The ponies there have witnessed everything from an angry Goddess of the Night to the Equestrian Destroyer's resurrection. Other ponies aren't so open minded. They might think he's a freak or be afraid of him. What if somepony tries to capture him and turn him into a sideshow attraction?”

“Could that actually happen?” Arthur asked.

“Shush you,” Twilight said immediately, shutting Arthur up instantly.

“I think you're overreacting a bit,” Sunset said, “Besides, worse comes to worse, he has the Princess of Friendship protecting him, and that gives him automatic connections to both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”

“Well, yes we could protect him,” Twilight said, “But he'll need human contact. He's the only human in a world filled with ponies.”

“Which is why we have the portal to this world,” Sunset said waving her hands around the room, “If he's ever craving human contact then he can just hop over to this side. He can use the spare room here.”

“But with all due respect, I think I prefer it over on the other side,” Arthur said, happy to finally get his say in.

Before Twilight could say anything to that, the door opened and a woman with familiar pink hair rushed past them in a huff.

“Hi Sunset!” a familiar voice said, making Arthur's heart skip a beat, “I need to borrow a blouse from you, is that okay?”

“First of all, you know I dress sluttier than you, so why would you want to borrow one of my tops?” Sunset asked, “And second of all, Princess Twilight is here, and she has a friend with her.

“To your first statement, I have a date and I need something a little slutty to catch his attention,” the girl said from her room, “And to your second statement-” A human girl that looked an awful lot like Fluttershy ran out of the bedroom, “Twilight! It's so great to see you!”

“It's great to see you too...” Twilight said awkwardly, and for good reason. First of all, she was stunning, built like an angel, almost identical to what Arthur figured Olivia would have looked like naked, and that was the second thing that shocked Arthur. All she was wearing at the moment was a white bra and matching panties.

Arthur was frozen.

What is Fluttershy doing here?!

Why is she just as stunning on this side as she is on her side?!

And why is seeing human Fluttershy making me fantasize about pony Fluttershy?!

Sunset coughed to catch human Fluttershy's attention. She looked at Sunset, who pointed to Arthur. Human Fluttershy then looked at Arthur, and gasped loudly, her face turning cherry red.

“OH MY GOD!!!!” she screamed covering her well endowed breasts and running back into the bedroom, slamming the door shut. Arthur's brain had stalled, not even restarting when Twilight waved her hand in front of her face.

“I think he's gone,” Twilight said.

“Good job, Fluttershy,” Sunset called out, “You broke our guest.”

“I'm sorry!” Fluttershy called from the bedroom, “I'll be dressed in a second!”

“You can borrow my black dress if you want,” Sunset said, “I think that's slutty enough.”

“Thank you!”

Sunset rolled her eyes, “I better go check on her.”

“Got it, we'll wait here,” Twilight said. When Sunset walked into the room, Twilight shook Arthur to snap himself out of his daze.

“Augh!”

“You okay now?” Twilight asked.

“That was-”

“No, it wasn't,” Twilight cut him off.

“But she looked just like-”

“I know she did, and yes they have the same name, but that's not Fluttershy. At least, not our Fluttershy. This is why I was certain that this wasn't your world. This is literally an alternate version of Equestria, so there are doubles of all the ponies of Equestria.”

“So that's the Fluttershy of this world?” Arthur asked. Twilight nodded.

“As you can see, she's a little more absent minded than our Fluttershy,” Twilight said, “She's also a little more forward than our Fluttershy.”

“She doesn't seem as shy, I'll tell you that,” Arthur said. Twilight laughed as the door opened, and the two girls stepped out, Fluttershy now wearing a lacy black dress that was about as short as Sunset's skirt but showing a little more cleavage, black high heels, and dark red lipstick.

“Um, I'm really sorry about earlier,” human Fluttershy said, “Twilight is a good friend of mine, and I haven't seen her in a while, so...”

“It's fine,” Arthur said, now able to see the difference. Somehow she didn't seem as radiant as his Fluttershy, “My name is Arthur,” he said standing up.

“It's nice to meet you, Arthur. My name is Fluttershy,” human Fluttershy said.

Arthur took her hand and lightly kissed it, “It's truly an honor to meet you,” Arthur said, getting a giggle from the young lady before him.

“You're really sweet, Arthur,” human Fluttershy said, “I'd love to stay and get to know you, but-”

“Yes, you have a... date, was it?” Arthur asked.

“Yes! Thunderlane finally noticed me! I'm meeting him at Sugar Cube Corner at 2:00!”

“Then you better get going,” Sunset said looking at her watch, “It's 1:55 right now.”

Human Fluttershy screamed, “I can't be late on my first date with Thunderlane!” Fluttershy ran to the door, but stopped and ran back to Twilight, “It's great seeing you again, Twilight. Please come again soon.”

“I will,” Twilight said hugging her friend, “Tell me how your date went with Thunderlane, okay?”

Fluttershy nodded happily and ran to the door, but Sunset cleared her throat to catch her attention.

“Forget something?” Sunset asked. Human Fluttershy ran back to Sunset and hugged her tightly.

“Thanks again for letting me wear your favorite dress!”

“Just make sure you return it in one piece, okay?”

Fluttershy nodded and ran out the door. Arthur sat back down on the couch, his head spinning.

“I think I've had enough excitement for one day,” Arthur stated.

“I can escort you back to the statue,” Sunset Shimmer said, “You look like you could use some rest.”

“Yes, thank you,” Arthur said getting up again and walking with the two ladies back to the portal. At least he confirmed that the other world wasn't his, which meant that he might not get back to his world. He also got to see what Fluttershy looked like as a human. She was absolutely stunning, yet the human Fluttershy was missing something. She wasn't the same as his Fluttershy.

In fact, seeing her as a human just made him crave seeing his Fluttershy even more.

Author's Note

So Arthur got the confirmation that he's nowhere near home. Equestria Girls probably won't play a major role in the story, but it will have a minor part.
