From one world, to another

For what felt like an eternity, Connor and Dave felt a huge pressure on their bodies. Was it that huge tree branch? Yeah, it probably was. Slowly opening his eyes, Conner saw nothing but darkness. He tried to push himself up, but couldn't find the strength to do so. Finally letting his eyes adjust to the dark, he tried pushing himself up again. This time, it went a lot smoother. Heck, even the pressure on his body was gone. Standing up, he felt a sharp pain in his back. He bend his back slightly, receiving some uncomfortable cracks in the process.

"Ooh. Defiantly going to feel that in the morning." He said as he looked down at the ground, only for him to see.. Dark? Well, he could still see a bit, but not much.

"Wait a sec." Connor said as he started to search for Dave. "Dave! Dave, where are you?" He shouted. No response. Where the hell was he? Was this the afterlife? Or was it something like The Nexus, in Demon Souls? "Dave, stop playing and show yourself!" Conner demanded, a hint of anger in his voice.

Suddenly, Conner felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Dave; standing in front of him. "You called, sir?" Dave asked, imitating an English accent.

"You dick!" Connor said as he hugged his friend tightly.

"Fuck, my back!" The two friends exclaimed in union. Letting go of each other, they looked at each other in confusion. "You're supposed to be dead!" They said in union.

"No, you're supposed to be dead!" Dave said, pointing his index finger accusingly at Connor. "You got crushed by that tree branch! Which, might I add, was a very stupid way for your life to come to an end." Dave said as he looked around The Abyss. "Wow, it's dark in here. But I can still see you clearly. The fuck?"

"Hey stupid." Connor said, poking Dave's head. "If I'm dead, then what are you doing here?" He asked.

Dave coughed awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his head. "Moral support? You know, for your spirit t finally go to Hell-- I mean Heaven."

"Moral support, my ass!" Connor said angrily. "I don't know what the hell happened, but this is not normal!"

Dave shrugged as he looked around the vast space of darkness they were in. "Maybe this is like The Nexus, from Demon Souls."

"That's what I was thinking, too!" Conner said, looking around the dark area as well. "But, I never expected the afterlife to be this.. Boring."

"Yeah, it is pretty boring. And to be honest, this place kind of reminds me of The Abyss, from Dark Souls, as well." Dave added, getting on one knee and touching the dark they were both standing in. "Feels normal." He shrugged.

"Well this is just great!" Connor exclaimed, throwing his arms up. "We're stuck in The Abyss, and we're dead!"

"Hey, maybe we aren't dead." Dave said as he held his chin in thought. "Perhaps we died, but aren't dead. Maybe this is some sort of Limbo. This could also be a gateway to the afterlife. Maye we didn't pass, because we committed a sin."

"That is probably the most believable theory you've come up with." Connor said as he slung his backpack of his back. Opening it, he checked if everything was still present. And to his surprise, it was. Everything was still there.

"Looks like death didn't really care if you brought your backpack with you, huh?" Dave asked, holding out his hand. "Come on, I know you always carry a bag of Skittles with you. Give me some."

Conner sighed as he grabbed a few Skittles from the small jar he had brought with him. Handing Dave a few, he grabbed a few for himself and put the jar back in his backpack.

"Blegh, I hate the yellow ones." Dave muttered as he threw the yellow Skittles on the ground-- or dark, to be precise.

"Dude, not cool!" Connor said as he bend over to pick up the Skittles, Dave had so rudely disrespected. Only for them to covered in darkness, and disappear into the dark. Connor stood there, still bend over and his mouth agape. He slowly got up and looked at Dave.

"Hmm, now these Skittles I like." Dave said, happily munching on the red Skittles he had put in his mouth. Suddenly, the remaining Skittles were smacked out of Dave's hand. Dave could only watch as his precious Skittles fell to the darkness. "No!" Dave screamed as he looked at Connor with an angered expression. "You motherf-- Gaah! W-What the hell man! Let go of my head."

"Shut up dude!" Connor hissed at him, pushing Dave's head down so he could clearly see the Skittles that were currently being devoured by the darkness. "Did you see that?" Connor asked, a hint of fear in his voice.

"Yeah." Dave said as he smacked Connor's Skittles out of his hand. "Never disrespect the Skittles, bruh!"

"But you just did." Connor stated as he watched his Skittles being devoured, also. "What the hell is wrong with this place?"

"I don't know." Dave replied as he started poking the darkness underneath him. "I think Mr. Abyss is really hungry."

"Mr. Abyss?" Connor repeated, looking at Dave with a smug grin. "Well, Mr. Abyss should be careful. If he eats too much, he might get sick."

"Yeah, and fat!" Dave laughed, poking Connor's shoulder. "The Fatbyss!"

Connor shook his head. "That's the only thing you can come up with?" He asked.

"Well it was either that, or me, saying: The Abyss is fucking ugly and boring." Dave replied, smirking as he looked at Connor. "Hey, let's take a huge dump right here." He laughed.

Connor couldn't help but laugh as well. "Taking a shit in the afterlife, seems legit." He said as he grabbed Dave's flashlight and turned it on. "I wonder." He said as he pointed the flashlight up and put his hand in front of it. "Ahw, I thought I could make those shadow figures with my hand." He sighed as he threw the flashlight at Dave. Unfortunately for Dave, he wasn't good at catching things. So the flashlight fell towards the darkness.

"Oh hell no!" Dave said as he watched his flashlight being consumed by darkness. He quickly grabbed hold of the edge of his flashlight and started to pull as hard as he could. "He's putting up a fight." Dave grunted as he pulled.

"Put your weight into it!" Connor said, cheering him on.

"How about you help me?" Dave grunted as his head started to turn red. Suddenly, Dave felt a strange substance on his hands. Looking down at his hands, he saw that the darkness was starting to consume his hands! Letting go of his flashlight, Dave tried to pull his hands out of the darkness. "Help!" Dave screamed in terror.

Connor, having just noticed what was happening to his friend, quickly ran towards him and grabbed hold of his shoulders. "Alright! On three! One, two, three!" The two friends pulled as hard as the could, but to no avail. The darkness had already reached Dave's chest.

"Well, I'm done for!" Dave screamed.

"No! I'm not leaving you!" Connor said as he started to kick the darkness that had latched itself around Dave. "Let go of my friend!" He demanded as he continued kicking, only for the darkness to latch around his leg. Connor fell to the ground and hit his head. He rubbed his head and grunted in pain; as he tried to get up. Only for him to realize he couldn't feel his legs anymore. "Holy shit!" Connor screamed as he watched the darkness consume both of his legs, making its way up to his chest. Connor took a quick glance at Dave. The darkness had already made its way up to his neck.

"Dave, I can't feel my legs!" Conner shouted.

"I can't feel my dick either!" Dave shouted.

Connor started laughing. "No, that is not funny!" He said sternly as gave his friend a sincere smile. "Thanks for always being there for me."

"Thanks for sucking my dick that one time." Dave smiled back.

"I never sucked your--."

"Later!" Dave cut him off as the darkness completely consumed him. Connor could only watch as his friend disappeared into the dark.

"So, this is it?" Conner asked out loud as he looked down at his body, only to see that the darkness had reached his chest, and was now making its way up to his neck. Connor sighed. What had he done to deserve this? What had Dave done to deserve this? Closing his eyes, Connor let out a sigh of relief as he felt the darkness finally consuming him completely. It wasn't painful or anything. It kind of felt like you were standing in a pool with your clothes on, and you were taking small steps into the pool. It was that kind of feeling. But suddenly, the feeling was gone. Conner felt.. At peace.

"I'm high as a motherfucker." Dave's voice echoed through his ears.

Aaand, peace is gone.

Connor prepared for the worst. He dared not to open his eyes. But suddenly, he felt something hard underneath his body. Slowly opening his eyes, only to close them seconds later. "Fuck, who turned on the light?" He asked as he opened his eyes again. Looking up, he found out that he was no longer in The Abyss. But rather, in a much better place. But still, laying flat on your back isn't really pleasant. But still, this place we so pretty. A place with light, a sun, and clouds. "Is this heaven?" He asked himself.

Suddenly, a familiar figure blocked his view of the sky and sun. "Nope, not heaven." Dave grinned as he held his hand out. Connor groaned as he grabbed hold of Dave's hand. Dave pulled his friend up and he looked around, trying to determine if this was going to be another hell-hole.

"Where are we?" Connor asked.

Dave shrugged. "Don't know, but looked what I found!" He said, waving a familiar flashlight in front of Conner's face. "And look!" Dave said, pointing at the ground in front of Connor. "Our Skittles." Dave said as he picked one up. "Five second rule."

"It's been more than five seconds." Connor said sarcastically, smacking the Skittle from Dave's hand. "And besides, I can get you more." He said, looking around again. It was then that Conner's eyes fell upon a building. A building that held a lot of similarity to a building they hated the most.

"Is that a school?" Dave asked, looking at the building. "I think it is."

"Well, only one way to find out, right?" Connor asked as he started to walk towards the school, only to be stopped by Dave. "What's wrong?" Connor asked I think confusion.

"This could be another trick. I do not want to be eaten by something again!" Dave whined.

"Man up." Connor said as he grabbed Dave by his collar, dragging him towards the school.

"You know." Dave said as he looked at Connor. "I'm surprised our clothes are all clean and have no holes or pieces ripped out of them. Our jeans, your Star Wars t-shirt. By the way, love it that Darth Vader is printed on it."

"Thank you." Connor said politely.

"You're welcome." Dave replied with a smile. He got out of Connor's grip and continued. "And my t-shirt is all 'good in the hood', and our Jays are too!"

"I still don't understand why you call them 'Jay's'. Aren't they called Jordan’s?" Connor asked.

Dave shrugged as he and Conner walked up the stairs, almost reaching the entrance of the school. "Jays, Jordan’s. Does it even matter?" They reached the entrance, and Conner was about to enter, until Dave grabbed hold of his hand.

"Dude, isn't this against the law?" Dave asked.

Connor shrugged. "Meh, if it is, then we just gotta run."

Connor opened the doors and walked inside, Dave was not far behind. They looked around the school. It was just a regular school. Lockers, a bell, and posters of upcoming events. But what did confuse the two teenagers, were the students.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Dave asked Conner, as he looked at several other students.

"I am defiantly seeing students who used to much body paint." Connor replied as he nudged his friend. "Look at that girl." He said, carefully pointing his finger at a student. She had a long pony tail; that she had probably dyed. Because it was pink, very pink. Then came her outfit. A short purple skirt and a lavender hoodie that had the image of trumpet in the centre. She wore white pink shoes and (surprisingly normal) earrings.

"Look at her hair." Dave laughed silently. "It goes from big, to small." He said, taking a closer look at her hair. "Actually it goes from big, to shit."

"What's wrong with their skin color?" Conner asked, looking at some of the students in disgust. "That’s just wrong, man."

"Maybe they’re sick?" Dave replied, watching as several students gave him weird looks. "Or maybe they’re into some weird fetish."

Suddenly, a female student walked up to them. To the their surprise. Her skin looked quite normal. The only problem, was her hair. It was a mixture of yellow and red stripes.

"Watch out dude." Dave whispered to Connor. "It’s the flag of Spain, only a human version." He started to laugh, only for the student that was walking towards them; look at them with a confused expression.

"Dave, you’re making a scene!" Connor hissed at him.

"Hello."

Both Connor and Dave turned their heads towards the student. They smiled at her and cleared their throats.

"What’s up?""Dave asked, leaning against Connor’s shoulder. "Me and my boyfriend over here wanted to check this place out." He said as he moved his head closer towards Connor’s cheek.

Conner slapped his face away. "Dude, not cool. Not cool at all."

The student continued to stare at them.

"Listen." Connor said, holding his hand out. "Forgive my friend's behavior. He’s.. Just being himself." Connor looked at Dave, and Dave looked at him with a smug grin.

"That’s okay." The student said as she shook Connor’s hand. "My name is Sunset Shimmer. Are you the new students I’m supposed to show around?"

"Yes!" Dave replied with a smile.

"No!" Connor quickly interrupted, grabbing Dave by his collar again. "Again, sorry for his behavior." Conner apologized as he left the school, only to be stopped by Sunset Shimmer.

"Wait!" Sunset said. Dave and Connor turned their heads. "If you're not the new students, then what are you two doing in Canterlot High?" She asked.

"None of your business." Dave replied as he glared at her.

"We just moved here." Connor said, receiving a confused look from Dave. "Yeah, we just moved here and, uhh, we're going to attend school very soon. We just have to get settled in and then we'll be.. Here, I guess?"

Sunset nodded. "Okay, well, welcome and I hope to see you soon!" She smiled at them

"Yeah, later!" Dave said as he ran through the exit.

Connor smiled at her and nodded his head. "Until we meet again." He said as he turned around and walked towards the exit.

Sunset watched him exit the school. She shook her head and turned around. 'That's weird.' She thought, taking a glance back at the exit. 'I thought the new students were girls.' Deciding to just 'shrug it off', Sunset started walking in the direction; cafeteria of Canterlot High.

"Dave, wait up!" Connor shouted, running after his friend, who was currently running towards the statue of a horse. Connor watched as Dave sat down in front of the statue. Joining his friend, he looked at him and nudged his arm. "What's wrong?" Connor asked.

"What's wrong?" Dave repeated. "I have no idea where we are. I don't know how we got here. That 'Abyss' we were in just minutes ago, just everything is being processed by my brain. But it's too much too take in at once!"

"Well." Connor said as he grabbed his I-phone from his pocket. "There's only one way to find out of we're dead. Or are in some kind of alternate universe." Connor dialed his mother's number.

"And?" Dave asked, a hint of hope in his voice.

Connor shook his head. "No service. Sorry dude, but we're not going anywhere."

"If this is my punishment for cussing so much." Dave said as he looked up at the sky. "Then I'm sorry! You hear me, God?! I'm sorry!" He shouted at the air.

"Dave!" Connor said as he put both of his hands on his friend's shoulders. "Calm down." He said, looking him straight in the eyes. "Everything is going to be all right. I promise."

"Pinkie promise?" Dave asked, holding his pinky finger out.

Connor rolled his eyes. "Pinkie promise."

Dave smiled and stood up. "Well, first things first." He said as he looked down at Conner. "We need a place to sleep!"

"How much money do you got on you?" Connor asked.

"Nothing." Dave replied, scratching the back of his head. "You?"

"Nothing. We're so fucked." Conner sighed as he looked off into the far distance. "There's a town, a few miles from here. Maybe there is someone that can help us." He said as he looked at Dave.

Dave sighed and nodded. "What do we have to loose? Alright, let's go."

And so, the two teens started their long walk towards the town. Not knowing what to expect. Well, let's see what fate has in store for them; this time.
