Arrival
"Dude, we need to right a story about everything that happens to us here," Ryan said to Jonny, who was currently walking through the house with nothing but a towel, as he was just getting out of the shower.
"I agree, we'd get a bunch of hits on FIM Fiction," he says, as he looks at you, "Bet you didn't expect that did you reader?"
"Jonny, stop taunting the internet."
"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinne," he whined, "You're such a dick."
"Okay, here, you start the story'" Ryan said handing Jonny the computer.
"Cool, let's start this story."
The day started off like any other-
"Okay, stop, don't start it with such a cliché line you idiot."
"Fine, fine."
Jonny and Ryan were walking through the halls they stopped at a hallway intersection Ryan leans up against a locker and they just stood there and watched people walk by because they were bored as shit.
"So Jon-" he was cut off as his hand presses against the lock and a giant ass portal appears and Jonny falls in.
Everyone in the hall had a horrified expression on their face, Ryan just looked at the portal.
"Fuggin' Jonny," he mutters and walks into the portal after Jon there is a brilliant flash of light and he finds himself falling, he lands in a crouch right next to an unconscious Jonny, he observes his surrounding and noticed they were in an apple orchard.
"Dammit Jonny, well looks like I'm going to be here for a while."
He sat on the ground, and started to look around the orchard. He stretched his arms as he yawned, when he opened his eyes he caught a glimpse of orange, red, and yellow through the leaves of a tree. He jumped up and picked Jonny's limp figure off the ground, and was immediately shocked by how light Jonny felt. It's probably nothing, he thought.
When he finally came into a clearing, he saw a barn that looked very familiar. When he saw an orange quadruped with a cart of apples, he immediately knew where he was.
Applejack picked up a basket of apples in her teeth and walked into the house, but when she came back, one of the baskets were gone. "Apple Bloom is this one of your silly pranks?" The mare called.
"Nope, Chuck Testa," an unfamiliar voice said behind her.
She whirled around to see a strange creature grasping her basket, she was about to buck him into next week when she noticed a figure slumping over him. "What's with that one?" She asked Ryan.
Ryan looked at Jonny and set him down on the ground. It was then that Applejack saw that the limp ones clothes had Pinkie Pie on them. She looked back up at Ryan with a questioning gaze.
"Oh yeah, I should probably explain that. Do you mind if I put him in your barn?"
After Applejack allows Ryan to put Jonny in the barn while he’s out. Ryan offers to help applejack with the day’s work.
"Well all right, but Ah’ll be keeping my eye on ya but before we do that y’all better be explainin’ why Pinkie Pie is on his shirt and where you came from,” Applejack drawled sternly.
“Okay first off, I, am Ryan and the one that got knocked out is Jonathan but you can call him Jonny. Next, I should explain how we got here. My friend and I were on our way to class when we stopped in the hallway to chat, just as I leaned up against the wall an inter-dimensional portal opened Jonny fell through and got knocked the fuck out when he landed. Then I decided to jump through with him to save his sorry ass and the rest is history now i should explain more in detail where we are from we come from an alternate dimension from a planet called Earth. We live in a country called the United States of America or the U.S. as most of us call it. On Earth there is a fictional show called My Little Pony within it you your friends and a few other peo-, I guess I should say ponies are featured and go on adventures, Which apparently have actually happened in your universe, thus explaining Pinkie Pie on Jonny’s shirt and my knowing your name.”
Applejack stared at Ryan with a dumbfounded expression she thought for a second before an idea clicked in her head and she said, “We should get you to-,”
“Twilight? Yeah, I was thinking that too. Let’s go!” he called enthusiastically, already walking towards the entrance of the orchard.
“Wait, shouldn't we get your friend first?” the mare exclaimed.
“Nah, he’s fine, and I’m sure he’ll be out for awhile,” he said nonchalantly still heading for the entrance, the mare rushed to catch up, “Besides I had an idea for the ultimate prank he smiled deviously.
“Okay that should knock out the first chapter,” Ryan said to Jonny.
“Alright, but I need to go get clothes on,” Jonny said, still in his towel.
“Why didn’t you do that before we started writing the story?”
“I honestly don’t know,” he said walking down the hallway.
“Whatever,” Ryan said, walking out the door. When Ryan walked back into the small cottage, he saw Jonny had gotten dressed and was ready to continue.
"Alright let's do this," Ryan said, and Jonny turned back to the desk.
After running Applejack through the plan she was quickly on board with the prank. To get through town without being noticed Ryan climbed onto a rooftop, thankful that it was getting close to night so he could use the shadows to help conceal him as he traversed the rooftops. As he moved along the rooftops, he noticed he felt a lot lighter, like Jonny had been, That’s odd, he thought.
As night fell, Ryan jumped off the roof he was on and walked the rest of the way to the castle. He climbed on to a banister holder over the door as Applejack knocked.
As Twilight opened the door, she lit up and said, “Applejack, what brings you by?”
Ryan jumps down from the banister and shouts, “ME!”
Twilight has a similar reaction to Applejack's, just 10 times larger, and with a shrill scream.
Applejack and Ryan fell to the ground laughing, until Twilight picked up Ryan in her telekinesis. He then sighed, “Need something Twily?” He asked with a wide grin.
“Who and what are you, where did you come from, how many of you are there, and what do you want from us?” She fired off questions in rapid succession.
“Ryan Franks, human, alternate dimension, around 7 billion, but in your reality two, and nothing really.” He answered equally as fast.
“Where is this other... human, of yours?” Twilight asked, looking Ryan over.
“He’s down at mah barn, he got knocked out on the way here apparently,” Applejack spoke up.
“Well ,we should go see if we can wake him up,” Twilight suggested.
“I agree, I’m sure he’ll freak out if I’m not there to contain him,” Ryan said. “and I don’t want him hurting himself.”
After Twilight put Ryan back on his feet, the three headed towards Applejack's. A few minutes of walking in silence later, they arrived at Applejacks barn. Ryan climbed up to the loft where he had put Jonny and walked over to his slack body, watching the slight rise and fall of his chest.
Well at least he's still alive , he thought to himself. He heard the quiet hoof beats behind him and turned to see Twilight and Applejack.
"Stay here I have to keep him somewhat calm when he wakes up," he was about to turn back around when he felt a strange tingling feeling running along his shoulder blades and up his spine.
"What’s wrong, sugar cube?" Applejack asked noticing his sudden stop.
“Hopefully nothing,” he said before turning the rest of the way around and walked over to the sleeping figure he gently shook Jonny’s shoulder Jon wake up after receiving no response he shook him a bit harder. “Get up you lazy lug,” Still nothing. He pulled his hand back and slapped Jonny across the face, which woke him right up.
“Gah what the hell man? Wait, where are we?”
“Okay don’t freak out, but we might be in Equestria."
“Dude, stop fucking with me.”
“He’s not kiddin’, sugar cube,” Applejack said as she and Twilight walked up on either side of Ryan.
Jonny froze and his entire body stiffened up. Ryan leaned in and waved his hand in front of Jonathan’s face and said “Yo, Jooonnay yalright?”
Jonny blinks and shakes his head before saying “Ehhh, I get it.”
When John and Ryan start laughing. Twilight and Applejack then ask in unison “What's so funny?”
Jonny and Ryan respond, also in unison “Don't worry about it.”
They laugh for a second longer before Jonny says, “I have this weird tingly feeling across my back.”
“Me too,” Ryan said with a suspicious look.
“It’s probably not-,” Jonny was cut of as a scream of agonizing pain overtook him.
Ryan blinked in surprise, then noticed something under Jonny’s shirt. He walked up and flipped John’s shirt over his head and saw something moving under his skin. Ryan looked over to see two very surprised ponies, he walked over, pushed them back, pulled off his shirt, rolled it up, and stuck it between his teeth. Then his world went white as the pain started across his back.
Applejack looked over at Twilight, and said, with a worried look, "Do you know what's happenin’ to 'em?"
Twilight responded with, “I don’t know, but let’s hope it ends soon.”
When Ryan's vision returned to him he battled the pain and slowly made his way to Jonny when he reached him he reached into his friend's pocket and pulled out his knife. It was a yellow knife that was shaped like a bird's talon he held Jonny down with one knee and one hand and quickly slashed two lines across his back he released Jon and fell face first into the ground dazed he was dimly aware of a quick relief as Jonny did the same and they both fell from the conscious world.
Author's Note
Next chapter is up. That's all I have to say.
Chapter Inspirations:
Awoken
When Ryan woke up, he found himself in a clean white room with a curtain to his right he sighed and muttered, “Been here not even an hour and I feel like I’m in a shitty fan fiction.”
He sat in silence for a few moments until he heard a familiar voice next to him saying “Ah god what happened?”
“Yo ,Jon, is that you?”
“Yeah man. God my back hurts.”
“Mine too, dude. Ugh, how long do we have to stay here?”
His question was quickly answered as Nurse Redheart walked in and said, “Oh good, you’re awake.”
Ryan stretched his arms above his head as he asked, “Yeah, we’re awake, but how long do we have to stay here?”
“Not too much longer, about 20 minutes before you’re ready to check out and be on your way,” she explained in her soothing voice.
“How long have we been out?” Jon asked.
“About three days, but I’ll say, your wounds healed quite quickly. Well actually I wouldn’t know being as were two different species, but still, quite impressive.”
“No, no, you’re right. That's exponentially faster than anyone in our species, especially considering the wounds we received,” Ryan agreed.
“Well I’ll leave you two alone for a bit, see you in about twenty minutes.”
After she left, Ryan and Jon sat in silence for a while until a doctor came to change their bandages, he walked over to Ryan asking him to stand so he could remove the old bandages. When Ryan stood up he noticed a strange tightness across his back.
“Are you alright?” the doctor asked. ”Feel anything strange?”
"Actually, my back is very tense, what's up with that?" Ryan asked the doctor.
"Oh yes, that. Princess Twilight was also worried about that."
"What was she worried about?" Jonny asked from the other side of the curtain.
"Well, when Princess Celestia turned her into an alicorn, she had to grow a new muscle group to be able to use her wings, but she used magic to grow the wings, instead of a blade."
"Makes sens- wait, wings?"
"Yes, Princess Twilight said it was a very odd thing to see," the doctor brushed off the question, finishing up Ryan bandages.
When he moved over to Jonny's side of the room, he opened the curtain and Jonny got a look at Ryan's wings. They were black with a few red and white feathers. "Whoa, those are cool as fuck," Jonny said, awestruck.
The doctor told him to stand, giving Ryan a view of Jonny's wings. They were white with blue and black feathers. "As are yours," Ryan said, equally amazed.
The doctor finished up Jonny's bandages and said, "Well, you stallions are free to check out, but don't forget to ask Nurse Redheart at the front desk for a few extra bandages. You'll need to change your wraps a few times over the next two days, judging by the rate you two are healing at."
"Alright, doc," Ryan said to the pony doctor.
Ryan and Jonny walked out of the room into an equally clean smelling hallway. As the walked to the waiting room, where the doctor had said Twilight and Applejack were waiting, they took a few moments to address the fact that everything in this world. "I'm gonna go with lowered gravity field." Ryan said to Jonny.
"Okay, makes sense, what would cause that?"
"Equestria could be smaller than Earth, giving it less mass, which in turn giving it lower gravity," Ryan said thoughtfully.
"Good point. let's just leave it at that so you don't have a brain aneurism."
"Fine, don't want to overload that little brain of yours with information."
"Fuck you, douchebag," Jonny muttered to Ryan.
"I would, but your mother beat you to it."
They arrived in the waiting room, where Twilight and Applejack were waiting. They jumped up and pushed the two back into the hallway.
"We can't let any of the ponies see you, at least until we warn them about you," Twilight explained to the two.
"Okay, so how are we going to get out of here?" Ryan asked Twilight.
"I'll just teleport you out of here"
"Alright but you need to stay here, Applejack. We need you to get bandages from Redheart," Jonny said to the blonde mare. Then they disappeared.
"Fine, but y'all owe me one," Applejack said to the empty air.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ryan and Jonny appeared in Twilight's castle. "Huh, I thought that would feel different," Ryan mused.
"How were you expecting it to feel?" Jonny asked.
"I don't know, but I wasn't expecting that complete lack of feeling."
"Well, you two can make yourselves at home, you might be here for a while," Twilight told Ryan and Jonny. "Though I have to tell spike about you being here."
Ryan and Jonny looked around the room they were in. "Well here we are," Jonny said, looking at Ryan.
"Yeah, I thought I would be freaking out a bit."
"Me too, but it's not nearly as crazy as I thought it would be."
"Yeah, but the wings are cool as shit," Ryan said, raising his new appendages.
"Fuck yeah, they are!"
"Is that them?" they heard a familiar voice from down the hallway Twilight had walked down.
"Yes," they heard Twilight answer.
As Twilight entered the room with Spike, the dragons eyes widened, "Whoa, they look a lot like teenage dragons, just without scales," he said and walked around the humans, "Or tails for that matter."
"We usually don't have wings either, but what can you do," Ryan said to the baby dragon, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh, where are my manners, my name is Spike," the purple dragon said, bowing.
"We know who you are," Ryan said before turning to Twilight. "Did Applejack tell you what I explained to her, about our world?"
"Yes, she did, and I found the tale quite interesting," Twilight said studying the human. "I'll need to tell the other Princesses. Spike I need you to write a letter for me."
"Well, you guys do that, I'm going to look around," Jonny said, walking down a random corridor.
Ryan turned to Twilight and asked, "Do you have a library in this castle?"
Twilight nodded to a room behind him, and started telling Spike what to write, "Dear Princess Celestia..."
As Ryan walked to the library, her voice got fainter until he lost track of her words. When he arrived in the library, he moved about the shelves until he had a good stack of books. He sat down on the floor with the books and started reading. He didn't know how much time had passed until Twilight walked in and noticed he had finished four books.
"Wow, you read fast, compared to most ponies." She said, using her telekinesis to pick up the books he had already finished. "You almost read as fast as I do."
Ryan gave her a smirk and held up two books she hadn't noticed. "Almost, huh?" he asked tossing the books next to her fore-hooves.
"Devious little snake you are, aren't you"
"Yep," he said, standing. "Did you have some news, or are you just here to insult my intelligence?"
"Both," she joked, "The princesses have asked me to bring you to Canterlot when your wounds heal."
"So I guess we're leaving in two days,"
"Wait, so soon?" she asked, flabbergasted.
"Yeah, take a look," Ryan turned and lifted his shirt and adjusted the bandages so she could see the almost completely healed gashes.
"How did you heal that fast without magic?" she asked, even more astounded.
"I honestly have no idea, I was wondering the same thing," he said, turning back to face her.
"Well, we'll have to find out later, but for now I need to show you to where you'll be staying for the next few days," she said, turning and walking out of the library.
Ryan followed the lavender mare through a few halls, and they arrived at a large door. For a pony, at least. Ryan's head only had about an inch of clearance under the door. In the room there was a huge bed, even for him. Twilight's crown was next to the bed.
Ryan turned to her and said, "Oh, no. I can't take your bed from you."
"It's the only bed in the castle big enough to hold you," she said reassuringly.
"No, I refuse to be a burden, I'll sleep on the floor," he said finding a clear space on the floor and flopping down on his back.
"Are you sure, because I'm fine with you taking the bed."
"No, I won't take your bed," he said stubbornly.
Twilight realized that there was no changing his mind. "Fine. Good night, Ryan," she said, cantering over to the bed and climbing in.
"Good night, your highness ." he muttered sarcastically.
A comforting warmth fell over Ryan's body and he fell asleep.
Ryan opened his eyes. He was on a mountain back on Earth during a warm summer day. Ah, he thought to himself, I love the mountains.
He looked around at the trees and rivers in the distance. He started to walk towards a nearby lake, his journey was cut short by a burning tree fell in front of him. He turned to run from the flames, just to find he was no longer in the mountains, but in a fiery hell-scape. It started getting hotter, until he was writhing in pain from the heat. He looked at his arms, which were beginning to blister. He screamed in pure agony and fell to the ground.
Outside of the dreamworld, Twilight had awoken to guttural screams coming from the sleeping human on the floor. She jumped out of the bed to see if she could wake him up. When she went to his position on the floor, she faintly saw scorch marks on his clothing, she went to shake him with her hoof. She jumped back when she touched him, and he was extremely hot to the touch. "That's not good," she said.
She ran out of the room, and almost ran Jonny over.
"Oh, thank goodness, I need your help," she said, looking up at his face.
"A-a-actually, t-t-that's why I-I'm h-h-here," he said, shivering violently.
Twilight looked closely at his face, and noticed his lips were blue, and every time he took a breath, a small trail of steam escaped his mouth.
An idea came into Twilight's head. "Come with me," she said, bolting back into the room.
Jonny followed Twilight into her room, still shivering. He walked over to where she was sitting on the floor next to Ryan. "I need you to cool him down," she explained her idea to Jonny. "Just touching him should do the trick for both of you."
Jonny reached his hand out and touched Ryan's arm. Warmth spread out over his body, and his hypothermia vanished.
In the dream-scape, everything cooled down and the mountain reappeared. Ryan stood up and looked around the mountain. "What the he-" He stopped when he saw Luna on the mountain.
Ryan bowed and Luna said, "There is no need for that. I was worried when I sensed such a horrible dream and I had to come and put a stop to it," she said in a soothing tone.
"I apologize, it is just an honor to meet you." he said looking back up at the navy blue alicorn. "So you are the one who ended this terrible dream?"
"No, it was Twilight and the frozen creature that ended this nightmare."
"Frozen creature?" he asked. "Never mind, I don't care about that now, but thank you for your concern, princess."
"You are welcome, and I am looking forward to meeting you in the flesh."
"As am I, goodbye princess."
"Farewell."
Ryan's vision faded and he opened his eyes, back in the castle.
"Oh, thank goddess, you're awake," Twilight breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, you're the reason I'm awake, as well no longer in pain. Luna said something about an ice creature, what's that about?"
"Oh, that might have been me," Jonny said from Ryan's other side.
"This is just getting weird," Ryan said to himself before standing and walking out of the room.
The Whole Squad Part One (Fluttershy)
Ryan had gotten less than three hours of sleep that night, but he were unwilling to go back to sleep. Jonny had gone back to his room and fallen asleep, but Ryan on the side of Twilight's bed while she slept. He still had the thought of almost burning to death in his mind.
The thing that bothered him most was that Jonny had the exact opposite thing happening to him. Ryan wondered if there was some sort of connection. Fuck, who am I kidding, of course they're connected , Ryan scolded himself in his mind.
When morning came, Twilight opened her eyes and saw a figure on her bed. Her eyes shot open and she jumped away from the figure out of bed and would have fallen on the floor if the something hadn't caught her on the other side of the bed. She writhed in whatever was holding her. She noticed that the figure that was once on her bed was gone a cloud of smoke in its wake. Her captor set her on the floor. She turned to see it was Ryan, who was currently looking at his hands, eyes wide.
"What just happened?" Twilight asked Ryan, breaking him out of his trance.
Ryan looked at her, eyes still wide, "I don't know, one second I was sitting on your bed, I saw you wake up and you jumped out of your bed, then I was over here, holding you."
"It's called teleportation, can't anypony do it on your planet?"
"No, magic doesn't exist where we come from, neither do humans with wings. The only things with wings on our planet are birds."
Twilight pondered for a moment. An idea started forming in her head and she walked out of the room.
"Well, that was weird," Ryan said under his breath.
Ryan turned to walk out of the room, when he reached the door he turned and looked at the side of the bed he had been sitting on. He shook his head and walked out of the room.
Ryan walked into the throne room, where he found Jonny sitting on Fluttershy's chair.
"Hey, did you see where Twilight went?" Ryan whispered to Jonny.
"Yeah, she went down that hall there," Jonny replied, also whispering. "Why are we whispering?"
"I was thinking we got out of this castle, meet some more of the ponies around town."
"Good plan, I don't know how long I could stay here, I want to learn to use these things, too," Jonny agreed, raising his wings, Which were coming out of the holes cut in his shirt.
Jonny stood from the seat and followed through a nearby hallway. They soon came across an uncovered window. Ryan looked around the hallway and saw it was void of guards and castle staff. He suddenly turned and jumped through the window.
Ryan waited on the ground for Jonny. When Jonny landed on his back next to Ryan, Ryan looked back up at the window and saw a few feathers floating down. Ryan helped Jonny off the ground and turned him to check his wings. He ran his hand down Jonny's wings. As well as straighten a few feathers and pull a few out.
"What was that all about?" Jonny asked Ryan when he was done.
"You pulled out a few feathers falling out the window, I was evening out your wings and straightening feathers," Ryan said, looking at his own wings.
"How did you learn how to preen?"
"I stayed up all night, might as well do something productive."
"Huh, you'll have to show me how to do it."
"Fine, let's go," Ryan said, setting off towards Fluttershy's cottage.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Ryan and Jonny spent 10 minutes trying to keep out of sight as they progressed to the cottage, using dark alleys and foliage to mask themselves from view. When they finally arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, Ryan said to Jonny, " Be careful, don't speak to loudly at first, and try to look less like a douchebag."
"Hey I'm not a douchebag!" Jonny said harshly.
"You expect her to know that?"
"Oh, how I dislike you."
"No you don't, your life would be boring without me," Ryan said with a smug grin.
"Damn, I hate it when you're right."
"Which is why you're always grumpy."
"Eat a dick," Jonny grunted.
"I would but that's your mother's job," Ryan said, lifting his hand to knock on the door. He stopped when he heard something fumbling and clicking behind the door. He stepped slightly to the left, away from the door.
Jonny looked at Ryan with a confused look when the bottom half of the door slammed into him. His legs went limp and he loosely flipped over the door, landing on his back.
"Eep, oh I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were right there," she looked down at Jonny and didn't know what he was. "What are you... if you don't mind my asking."
She jumped when she heard something crack up laughing behind her. She whipped around to see another one of the unfamiliar beings curled up on the ground. When Ryan recovered enough to speak he looked at Jonny, who was still on the ground writhing in pain. "You just got your ass kicked by the kindest and most gentle pony in the entire world," he said wiping tears from his eyes.
"Bite me," Jonny grunted, standing up. He looked at Fluttershy and said, "We're humans, long story."
Ryan fully recovered and said to the mare, "My name is Ryan and this is Jonny," gesturing to the other human.
"We just wanted to come by and introduce ourselves, we're staying at the castle with Twilight," Jonny said.
"We wanted to ask you if you could teach us how to fly as well," Ryan said, spreading his wings.
"Me? But I cam barely fly myself," she asked, confused.
"Still more than we can do, and you live at the edge of town, keeping us away from other ponies until Twilight does her thing," Ryan said.
"Oh, okay. I guess I can teach you something." she agreed reluctantly, and they walked into the cottage.

I put this chapter up early so I could work on the other chapter, which will be a bit longer than my earlier chapters.
