Ed yawned as he walked with Fluttershy and Luna. After the stunt Flutters pulled, he had vouched for her, saying that it was alright and bullshit like; "We always do stuff like this." Though Luna didn't buy it, she just shrugged it off while her sister, on the other hand had requested to see the both of them. So after talking with Luna, Fluttershy just went along with the whole bullshit thing, they began to make their way to the elevators in silence. Ed he was just pondering what Celestia of this world looked like, and if she was just a bitch like the one on Equestria. He didn't want his grudge against Equestria's Celestia to affect the way he treated this world's version, though he couldn't help it, he wanted someone to blame, and he knew that no one here could be blamed for what happened in another world. But still. . .

"It seems that we'll have to wait." Luna's voice said, making Ed shook his head, snapping out of his thoughts.

Ed looked ahead and saw that the elevators were packed. Women everywhere were getting on and off, another similarity that made him mentally smile, they were tons of women everywhere. Now Ed wasn't a pervert, he often refrained from looking at women's asses as they passed by, or checking out their chest if they had some cleavage. He was a gentlemen of course, but he much enjoyed the company of a woman more than a man, he just clicked more with woman, probably due to the fact that he was brought up by one and trained by one, also he's always had a bad habit of running into asshole men most of the time so yeah there was that also. He looked at the long line of women. Ed noticed familiar faces that made his eyes widen at their appearance.

"Oh my god, there's absolutely no fucking way."

Standing in one line talking with each other were all his roommates, they were all human of course, but the fact that they were all friends in this world probably still living together amazed the shit out of him. Yet he should have expected it as he smiled softly looking at them.

Derpy still had her crossed eyes, Octavia didn't have her sword, but a gun this time, Berry Punch had a flask in her hand as she took a swig, Cheerilee was wearing glasses, which Ed thought suited her well, and Vinyl had some nice ass headphones around her neck as she still had those cool shades on. Overall it's like that they never changed, except for the human part, and maybe they all don't live together in a all-girl apartment. Ed didn't notice that he was starring until he saw that Octavia was starring right back at him. His eyes widened as he turned away instantly and walked over to Luna and Fluttershy as he wanted to avoid them. If anything, he just didn't want to deal with Octavia again. As he approached the two women he was suddenly cut off by some lady with shades.

"Excuse me, Celestia has requested that you ride in this elevator over here." The woman said as she motioned her hand to the elevator that had no one in it or in a line to get in.

"Uh, what about the two women-" Ed was cut off as the shaded lady waved her hand.

"They can join you later, for now we must not keep the boss waiting." She said as she pointed again with her open hand, causing Ed to shrug.

Not wanting to argue or even waste any time, Ed walked over to the empty elevator and entered it. As he turned, he looked and saw the lady with the shades smiling as she bowed.

"Good luck." She stated as the elevator doors closed leaving Ed to himself.

"Good luck? You're acting like I'm about to duel Celestia or something!" Ed thought to himself as he went to push the top button on the wall.

Before he could the elevator started to move, making Ed stop and let his hand rest by his side. He wondered why it started in the first place and over all why it was reserved for him. Plus, why was the elevator so dam big in the first place?

"Maybe it's a direct path to Celestia's office or something." Ed wondered as he thought why that this elevator would just go straight up.

Though the idea of a direct path was crossed off as the elevator stopped at a floor slowly. As it came to a halt the doors opened and three woman in business suits same as Twilight's came in and stood inside the elevator, nodding to Ed as they entered. He just moved to the back of the elevator, giving the ladies some room, he knew some people valued personal space. The elevator started again as it went up the floors. Ed leaned against the elevator, wishing it had a window so he could see how high up they were in the building. Ed raised a hand to yawn again as he squinted his eyes at the action also. As he brought his hand down, he noticed something odd about one of the woman. They all had there hands placed by their pockets, each one just quiet as they seemed to be looking away at him not even taking a glance. Ed thought nothing of it as he folded his arms and leaned against back wall.

Soon, the elevator was slowing down to stop at another level. Ed looked and watched the door. Soon enough the elevator stopped and the door opened. Three more woman came in, this time they had more feminine clothing, hair in a bun, skirts, and no ties either. Ed kept at the back of the wall as the women came in and nodded to the others in the elevator. Ed nodded as well. They smiled at him before taking a place in the elevator. The elevator started again as the door closed shut. Ed just waited patiently while the elvaotr did its job of escorting him to the top of the very long ass tower. He was about to yawn again before he noticed the same pattern again. All three woman that had just entered the roomy elevator had their hands by their pockets, it wasn't very noticeable at all but the fact that every woman was doing it was making Ed suspicious. He just shrugged, wondering if all woman did this at work or something, yet he found it strange that only these women had done it out of all the others he just saw earlier in the lobby.

Yet again, the elevator was coming to a stop as Ed saw that they weren't even half way up the building telling from the number on the side of the doors. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. This time Ed slowed down time with his normal eyes as he spotted the same pattern. The woman all had their hands by their pocket as if they were about to pull something out of it. No wait, it wasn't that, they all held their arms in a certain way that make it look like they were ready to reach for something in their pocket, was this their intention, maybe, maybe not, though as Ed scanned their arms he noticed that the ones that seemed to be close to their pocket looked bigger from their other arm. Ed looked at all their facial expression as he saw that they were all acting causal, all of them, not bored, not thoughtful, just plain casual like they weren't trying to draw attention. He resumed time as he saw the new three woman enter the elevator as they nodded at everyone. Again they took their places as the elevator doors closed and the elevator went up.

Ed just looked around at all the women before sighing. He figured out what was happening. He brought out his watch checking the time real fast before closing it and putting it back in his pocket. He looked up and wondered how to go about the situation before spotting a certain woman and frowning.

He leaned up and tapped the woman. "What's your name?" He asked, getting a slight jump out of her.

"The name's Sarah." She answered as she gulped and slowly shied away.

"I want you to get off the elevator, your hand is hurt and in no shape to fight, also I can see you have a fever, so go ahead and get off." Ed said as he slowly pushed the girl towards the door moving everyone else out of the way. He pressed a button stopping the elevator at the next floor making the doors open. The girl looked embarrassed as she walked out and turned around.

"But I-"

"Do you think it would be fair to fight, injured and sick?" Ed asked cutting the girl off.

The she just shook her head before giving a weak smile. "No I guess not, thanks for letting me off." She said as Ed just nodded and smiled.

The doors closed cutting off his view from the girl as he backed up into the middle of the elevator as he noticed everyone's expression had slightly changed. A few bands of sweat were trailing down one girl, another had completely turned her head the other way from him. And the rest just looked uneasy. Ed just took another look around before asking the question.

"Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?"
