Another Side Of The Story

~~~~~~~~~~~~Gemstone Household: Onyx's POV ~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Harder! Harder!" Victory yelled as my length pushed through her insides. Her tounge was lolling out of the side of her mouth as I pumped her with incredible strength.

"Victory, you smell so good..." I whispered. "You smell like.... Like pancakes?" I asked as I rolled off my bed and awoke from my dreamland. I sat up on the floor and rubbed my face in response to the pain. "Ugh.... I hate mornings..." I said to myself as I stood up and streched. I put on some black jeans and a Monstercat T-shirt. I headed out of my room and walked towards the kitchen.

"Good morning sweetie!" My mom told me as she handed me a plate with heart-shaped pancakes on top.

"Mornin' mom, what's up?" I asked her as I started to eat the pancakes using a fork and knife. Mmmm.... These are so good....

"Well, that Victory girl showed up again, asking to see you, but I just told her to scram." She told me as she put a few bacon strips on the side of my plate.

"Thanks. Well, what are the plans for today?" I asked as I took a bite out of the crunchy bacon she had just given me.

"Your dad and I are heading to the store in a bit, want anything?" She asked as she kept making pancakes.

"Could you get me like a Powerade or something?" I finished the first pancake.

"Fruit Punch right?" She turned off the stove and put all of the pancakes she made on a plate. The pile was made up of around fifteen or so pancakes.

"You got it! Thanks again." I told her as I finished eating and washed my plate in the sink.

"Alright, see ya later Onyx!" She gave me a kiss on the cheek as she headed out front door with my dad by her side. The usual start to a regular day. I thought as I headed back into my room. I started up my computer, making it show the Windows logo in the main screen. I just sat in my chair, looking out my window and into the neighbor's yard. There was a child that was playing with a small chihuahua puppy. I then picked up my phone and then I thought Where were you when I needed you yesterday? I put it back down as I saw my computer had already booted up completely.

"Hmm.... What should I do..." I said to myself as I clicked on the Firefox icon on my desktop. "Maybe some Youtube would do me good." I signed into Youtube and checked my feed, nothing standing out to my interest. I then went into the main page and checked my recommendations. "Lullaby for a Princess Animation? What is a pony video doing in my feed?" I asked myself as I tried to remember the last time I watched anything related to ponies. "Oh.... Right..." I remembered that a few days prior, my young niece wanted to watch some My Little Pony episodes, so I put them on for her. I stared at the thumbnail of the video for a few seconds. Don't do something you'll regret. I felt the pony's eyes stare at me. Don't do it! My mouse appoached the video link. Stahp! It had already been done. I clicked the video, and it loaded almost instantly. I put on my headphones and listened to the sweet lullaby that came from the video.

After it was over, I couldn't help but click the like button. The animation was flawless, and the song was so full of emotion that it just showed how much the people cared for the show. You see, there was a group out there on the internet who called themselves, 'Bronies.' The group itself was mainly composed of male teenagers and young adults that like the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I, of course, wasn't a brony myself, but after watching that video, I felt like I wanted to become one. Personally, I didn't mind the bronies at all, I mean, we all like different things, you know? In fact, I remember that at one point I had a friend that was really into the show and tried to get me to join, but I politely declined his offer.

I kept browsing the online for a while, investigating more and more about the show and it's characters, when suddenly I heard a voice.

"Onyx! We're home!" My mom called from the kitchen.

"I'll be there in a sec mom!" I said as I got up and went to greet them and help them organize the groceries. I got my Powerade, thanked my mom for it, and went back into my room. As I headed towards my desk, I remembered something important: Zecora's Pendant!

"I headed over to my laundry basket and pulled out my pants from yesterday. I searched franticaly through the pockets, looking for the gift, and there it was, success! I pulled out the pendant and threw the pants back into the basket. I looked it over in detail:

The pendant was being held together by a silver chain. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I put it around my neck. I wondered what it's origin's were, so I took a picture of it and went on 4chan. I made a post that asked if anyone could tell me what it was. After the post was online, I went on Youtube again and kept going over the Brony fandom.

A few hours passed, I grew bored of researching, so I decided to check back on the pendant post. Apparently, the views on it immideately sky-rocketed it and it was being bumped by an insane amount of people. I looked over the comments on it, the first ones being "Where did you get that?!" and "That's a fake!" I kept looking through all of the comments until I came across one that actually answered my question. The post read:

That, dear Anon, is an Onyx Sky Pendant, it is said to have mysterious powers that allow the owner to travel between dimensions! XD Try it out on a mirror, see if it works.

As any person would think, that was complete bullshit, but after what happened yesterday, I was willing to believe anything.

I sneaked into the kitchen and got a long knife and put it in my pocket, I put on my backpack, loaded it with some fireworks that I had in my closet as well as my Powerade bottle. Finally, I grabbed some spare matches from my bedroom drawer and put on some sunglasses. At that moment, I felt like the terminator. I pulled out a handheld mirror from another drawer in my desk and looked at my reflection. I can't believe I'm actually doing this... I stared at it for a few more seconds, and then I decided to poke it. I tapped the surface of the mirror and saw it ripple like if it was made of water.

"Yup, fuck that." I said as I threw the mirror back into it's drawer. "There is no way in hell that this is for real." I just looked at my hands, trying to understand why any of this was even happening to me. After I finally regained some strength, I took out the mirror, and tapped it once again, except this time, I took a picture of the ripple and posted a reply on 4chan. A few minutes after, I got a reply from the same person:

WOAH!!! Those are some mad photoshop skills kid!
You could get a career with that you know?

Of course, they had no right to believe me. I turned off my computer, and headed out of my room and into the bathroom. There it was, a full body mirror, staring back at me. With all of my gear ready, I prayed to god that I wouldn't die instantly, and took a single deep breath. The time had come. I closed my eyes and jumped straight into the mirror, expecting the worst. Not only did the mirror look like water, but it also felt like water. I was now completely surrounded in the water-like substance, my eyes still closed. I was holding my breath, thinking that I would drown if I tried to breathe. I finally opened my eyes and saw that I was in a dark room, with two completely white doors, one behind me, and one in front of me. I ran out of air fairly quickly, so I decided to head back into the door behind me, and as expected, I was back in my bathroom. I caught my breath, still in disbelief that I could travel through mirrors.

I looked at my hand once more, and turned it into a fist. I took a few steps back to get a fast start and dashed back into the mirror, my only goal being getting to the other side of that mirror. I swam through the liquid for a few seconds until I was inches away from the door of light. I reached my hand trough the door and pulled myself out of the mirror. I was now standing in my bathroom...? What? No, that wasn't what happened, I had definately gone through the other doorway right? Yes, I did! I noticed some differences in the bathroom quickly. The shampoo in the bathtub had different colors, as well as the female model was replaced by a... pony...

Realization struck me very hard, I knew exactly where I was. Equestria. I headed over to the bottles and read the tags out loud. "Mane And Shoulders Body Wash. For Stallions." That was all of the proof I needed. I had my knife ready and my sunglasses were over my eyes. I was ready for the world.

I headed out of the bathroom slowly, checking my surroundings for any signs of life. The house layout was still the same, with the only difference being that the hallways were slightly wider than before. When I saw that no one was home, I headed into the kitchen. Everything was the same, the smell of pancakes was still lingering in the air, due the stack of pancakes that was standing tall and proud on the counter in front of me. I considered what to do next: I could look out the window and try to find landmarks to find out how much had changed, or I could investigate the house a bit more to see if I could find anything interesting.

Choose Your Destiny:

Look Out The Window

I decided to look out the window in the living room, just to see if the landscape outside was any different compared to Earth. I approached the blindfolds that covered the outside, and took a quick peek at the world. I noticed that all of the concrete roads where replaced by dirt ones, most of the houses remained the same, however, the tiled rooftops were replaced with straw. All of the shops around were very colorful in comparison to the ones on Earth, as well as the ponies seemed to be happy all of the time. I was able to draw a few connections between the ponies in this world and the humans from back at home, some looking almost identical to their opposite form.

I kept analyzing the details of the town, but then I saw two ponies approach the lawn of the house that I was currently in, holding some plastic bags with magic. There was a male unicorn and a female pegasus, which immidieately reminded me of my mom and dad, so I assumed that's what they looked like as ponies. Afraid of being spotted by the couple, I decided to turn back from the window and head towards my room.

Investigate The House

I decided to look investigate the house, just to see if there was anything worthwhile laying around. I headed towards the basement of the house, in hopes of finding some kind of tool for later use. I turned on the lights of room and inspected various parts of the basement, but all I found was a short hammer and some kind of quill. All of the guns and swords my dad used to have on Earth were nowhere to be found. I was unable to find anything else that was remotely useful, so I decided to go to my Dad's office.

As I took the last step out of the basement, I noticed something move past the corner of my eye. I turned around to see what it was, and I ended up seeing two ponies approaching the house from a nearby window. The ponies I saw were holding some plastic bags with magic. There was a male unicorn and a female pegasus, which immediately reminded me of my mom and dad, so I assumed that's what they looked like as ponies. Afraid of being spotted by the couple, I decided to turn back from the window and head towards my room instead of my Dad's office.

End Of Investigation

"Crap..." I whispered as I rushed toward my room. I had just a few seconds left before my parents got hope, so I had to act fast. I barged into my room and saw a dark gray unicorn with greenish legs. There was a computer in front of him with the website 4Hoof open. He turned around and looked me in eyes. Is that me?

"What the-" Was all the pony was able to say before I tackled him and pinned him down in the ground. I put one hand on his mouth, and held up the knife I had in my pocket to his throat with my other hand.

"Shh shh shh... Don't move or I'll slice." I said with a dark smile on my face. The pony whimpered in response to my threat. Of course, he still struggled a bit.

"Onyx! We're home!" I heard my mom say from the kitchen. They're here...

"MMPH HMMPH MPH!!!" The pony tried to scream for help, so I simply held the knife a bit tighter against his throat.

"I'll be there in a sec Mom!" I said, trying to replay the scene exactly like it was on Earth. I lowered my voice a bit and whispered in the pony's ear. "Now listen here Onyx, I really don't want to hurt you or your family, I just need to talk to you." The pony relaxed a bit when I said those words, but was still scared. "Look, I'm gonna let go of you, but only if you promise not to make a sound, okay?"

"Mmh hmm." He nodded, and just like that, I let him go. Just as he promised, he didn't say anything. I put the knife back into my pocket, and stood up from the floor.

"Alright, now, go help your mom, and come straight back. Don't say a word about me, and you'll be fine." I sat down on a nearby bed and motioned him to the door. He nodded and left the room. A few minutes later, he came back, holding some apple cider cup with his magic.

"Hey, uhh... Do you want some? I swear I didn't do anything to it." He asked me, trying to be polite.

"Nah, I'm good. Please, take a seat, I'm afraid we need to have a long conversation." I grabbed the desk chair and set it directly in front of me. Onyx nodded and sat down, taking a small sip from his cider cup. Oh boy... This should be interesting...
