Crossing Worlds

You trot down one of Ponyville’s many dirt roads, a path that featured no cars along the way , and in turn, no pollution, yet, it did make traveling a bit harder.

“Alright, now who can I go see? “ You looked up at the sun to see that it is late afternoon, so most ponies would be done with lunch and relaxing at this time. As you walked down the unfamiliar roads, you eventually come to what you guess is Fluttershy’s cottage on the edge of a dark scary-looking forest. As you approach, you see Fluttershy’s yellow head pop up from her garden as she is tending to her flowers.

“Hi Fluttershy,” you say coolly. “What's new?” You bend over to look at her garden, which is filled with rows of pink petunias and blooming sunflowers.

“Oh , um, hello, [YN],” she says crouched down not looking you in the eye.

Raising an eyebrow, you say, “You know, i’m not going to hurt you. I just wanted to hang out.”

Fluttershy ,still crouching finally looks up at you with her big blue- green eyes. “I-”

She is cut off by a creature slithering out of her cottage door unlike any other creature you’ve ever seen. He has a head of a pony,while his body looks to be a mismatched jumble of appendages. You shiver at his sight and step back.

“Fluttershy, is this pony bothering you?” He asks her in a protective way, eyeing you suspiciously.

“Oh no , Discord, [YN], is a friend.” Fluttershy looks up at the creature without a hint of fear.

She’s braver than I thought.

“Are you sure? They don’t  look like your friend, to me, the way you were afraid of their very presence.” He crosses his arms darting his eyes between you and the pegasus.

“Yes Discord, i’m very sure. Actually,  [YN] just came to Equestria. She used to live in the human world. All of our friends are just trying to help them get settled into their new home, not to mention their new body.”

After hearing his friend’s approval of you, the creatures face lightens up. “Well, then that changes everything.” Turning to you he continues, “Then that would make you and I both different. Let me introduce myself. I am Discord the spirit of chaos! In case if you were wondering, I am a draconequus please to meet you.” He holds out his hand, and you go to shake it.As your hoof makes contact with his hand, a zap of electricity courses through your body, and you scream, pulling away quickly. After inspecting yourself making sure you are alright, you look down to find the draconequus rolling with laughter at your hooves. “You… you should've seen the look on your face! Priceless!”

  Fluttershy however, looks down at him disapprovingly.

“Discord! That is no way to treat a guest, especially considering the fact that they’re my friend.

Discord Finally stops laughing  and looks up at Fluttershy with a huge smile still plastered on his face.”Aw , come on Fluttershy, they know I was just playing with them.” He suddenly grabs you, and pulls you in a noogie. “Isn’t that right, [YN] ?”

After Discord puts you down, you looked at Fluttershy while you fixed your new now messy [HC] mane. “We’re friends?”

Fluttershy looks perplexed. “Well, of course silly, I mean, I know i’m shy but, i’d still like to get to know you. You know… hang out, like you said.”

“Wow… you consider for a moment. I don’t think anyone has ever wanted to be my friend so quickly. It’s… nice.”

You , and Fluttershy smile at each other, but Discord doesn’t seem to enjoy it as much. “Ugh, gag, Fluttershy my dear, must you always be so sappy? Perhaps I should make some chocolate milk rain?! You had better make sure you add dollops dollops of whip cream this time!

The draconequus lets out a yell, falls to the ground, and turns around to come face - to - face with Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie Pie, you… Startled me.” He breathes a sigh of relief.

You smirked at him. “Admit it, she scared you.”

Discord blushes realizing he has been outwitted at his own game, then meekly asks, “Did not.”

“Sure, Discord, sure.” You smile, since he is giving you the answer you want.

“Oh, hey [YN] , I never really got to throw you that pony party, so how about we go have it at Sugarcube Corner?” Pinkie Pie interrupts.

“Right now?” You asked.

“Yes , right now! Let’s go!” Pinkie Pie grabs you and practically drags you off to Sugarcube Corner, and you barely got a chance to say goodbye to Discord and Fluttershy.

“Goodbye ,[YN].” Fluttershy says.

“I’m looking forward in making more chaos with you latter!” Discord yells.

Smiling at them , you stand up and follow Pinkie Pie to Sugarcube Corner.

Well here we are! Pinkie Pie says pointing to a building that looks like a huge candy house. “Sugarcube Corner!”

“So, what is the place?” You ask looking the building up, and down.

“Well, I work here it's a bakery! It has cakes, cupcakes, cookies ,pastries and -”

“Ok, ok I get it,” you laugh”

“We can have your party here, but not in the actual bakery.”

“What? Where else in there could we have it?” You asked confused.

  “Well, we can have it in my room, silly! You go and invite everypony and i’ll I go upstairs and go get my room all decorationful  with my party cannon! She tosses a basket full of invitations on your back. “Oh, by the way, here’s a map of Ponyville so you won’t get lost! TIME FOR MY PARTY CANNON TO GET BUSY WITH PARTYNESS!

“You’re… what?

By then, Pinkie Pie is already inside and you’re left alone. With a sigh you study the map for a moment and then walk over to Rarity’s boutique which happens to be the so you could invite her to your party. As you walk, you feel a cool, fresh breeze blow by you and stirs up the leaves along the path. You look towards the sun, shielding your eyes and wondering how in the world a pony can control such an important being. I wonder if the other side of the world is asleep right now… or what if their world isn’t even round? This new world still puzzles you, but now you don’t have time to ponder this

You finally come to Rarity’s Carousel Boutique, a large, fancy- looking building that houses the

white unicorn. You knock on the door and wait

for an answer.

“Come in! “ A sing song voice calls from inside.

As you open the door, you see more magnificent skin -  tight pastel   dresses than you could imagine  and a few suits on the side as well.  You grinned, as you imagined one of your classmates would be an fashionista and they would be all over the place.

“ Oh, [YN], I wasn't expecting you, darling. Come in come. I need your help actually.” You walk up to Rarity, and before you can say anything, she tosses your basket of invitations on her desk, and she simply pulls over  the outfit that she’s been working on for you.

“Hmm no, no. This simply won’t do! “ Rarity then pulls the outfit off, and replaces it with a more outgoing look. She smiles as she looked you over.

“Yes! I do believe this outfit is the one for you!Rarity said . Rarity pulled a mirror in front of you, and you checked it out in awe. “You know what [YN], this outfit is perfect for you, you can keep it .” She says pulling the outfit off of you, and tosses it into a fashionable shopping bag.

“Wow, Rarity… thank you. It’s then you that you remember to give Rarity an invitation, you grab your basket in your mouth. “Oh, here Rarity…” You hand her a letter in a small white envelope.

“Pinkie Pie is throwing me a party latter, you’re invited.”

“Oh, joy! And that will give you a chance to wear your new outfit!  Don’t worry the other girls have dresses from me, so nopony will  feel left out!” I should spread the word to so that they should wear their dresses!” As you nod and say goodbye, she yells after you, “toodle -loo darling! Don’t forget about your outfit!

You made your way back to Fluttershy’s cottage with your invitation to Fluttershy and Discord.As you approach you find that Fluttershy was no  longer gardening but rather inside chatting with Discord and eating cookies. You knocked on the door , and everything inside suddenly goes silent. Fluttershy sure can move quietly. Without any warning the door opens quickly and a pair of teal eyes look out at you. After she sees that it’s just you she lightens up.

“Oh, [YN], back so soon?”

“Actually…” You put down the basket and handed Fluttershy an invitation to your party.

“Pinkie Pie is throwing me a pony party, so you’re invited.”

“And i’m not?” A pouting Discord said from behind. “Don’t worry ,Discord , I have one for you too.” You hand an invitation to Discord  and noticed the time on their clock inside their house. “Oh, look at the time! I still have to deliver invitations to Applejack, Rainbow Dash , and Twilight! I’m sorry to leave so quickly, but I just got so caught up and now i’m behind! Oh, don’t forget to wear your dresses!” You said then you went and delivered the rest of the invitations. You run off as you left the pegasus, and danconquess behind. You finally made it back to the treehouse just in the nick of time. Twilight calls you from the upstairs window, “Hey, [YN!]  Twilight says then her face hardens. I thought I sent you out to make friends? So you’ve already befriended every pony in Ponyville? That’s pretty fast for a pony who wasn’t keen on the idea in the first place.”

“No, that’s not it. Here, let me in so I can explain everything.”

“Alright, but no funny business, Spike! ,Let them in!”  The door opens and behind it is a small purple dragon. “Hey, I've don’t think we met before. I’m Spike.” The dragon puts out his claw to you which you cautiously grab, and gently shake.“Nice to meet you, i’m [YN].”

“[YN], cool name. Are you new to Ponyville? I know just about everypony  here… Just before you could explain who you are he continues, “Anyways, i’m Spike like I said earlier, and i’m Princess Twilight’s number one assistant! I assume , you heard of her? I mean who hasn’t?”

Right then, Twilight walks down the stairs and sees you.

“Spike, this is the pony from the human world that I was telling you about. The one who will be staying with us?”

“This, is them? Spike looks over you then turns back around to Twilight. “They just look like any other pony,I thought you said they were very powerful with magic so far.”

Giving him a dirty look trust me if I was more powerful i’d throw you into a wall right now

Twilight walks over to you. “Yes Spike I did say that they may look like us but they just learned a levitation spell in under five minutes, although they had never used that magic before or even  had known of it.” I’m confident that they will be a great student of magic and will learn much.”

“Anyways… “ You hand Twilight an invitation.

“Ah, I see she’s finally throwing you your pony party?” Twilight asks after she skimmed through your invitation.“Sure, Spike and I will be there.” Twilight said.

“Oh, Rarity wants us to wear our outfits that she made for us.”

Twilight nods, the sees the party’s date, and rolls her eyes. “The party is today?!” Now we can all be sure that Pinkie isn't the element of patience. Anyways, i’ll see you there [YN].” Twilight says after she walked back inside and Spike shuts the door after her with a final goodbye to you.

  Checking your map again, you found Rainbow Dash’s cloud home and run off towards it. By the time you get there you're already out of breath. Breathing heavily you could barely talk.

“Rain… Rainbow Dash!” You yell up at her cloudhouse. A rainbow mane and pastel head appears on top of the cloud and looks down at you.

“Yeah, [YN]?” Rainbow Dash said looking down at you.

“Here, I need to give you something! “ You pulled out another invitation. “ How do I get up there? Can you help me up there so I can deliver this to you?” Rainbows Dash looks at you with a confused  look on her face.

“Umm… [YN], you do know that only pegasus ponies can only walk on clouds ?” Rainbow Dash raises an eyebrow at you.

“Oh…” You say a bit disappointed that you can never see Rainbow Dash’s house since you're a unicorn.  As your disappointment subsides you came up with an idea.

“Here!” You then toss up the invitation  as high as you could. The pastel Pegasus quickly responds with her instincts , and quickly caught it in midair.“That’s an invitation that Pinkie is throwing for me in an hour be there or be squared!”

Rainbow laughed. “Now you're using my language.”Rainbow flew in place and did an army salute yes sir!”

“Oh, and wear your dress Rarity’s orders!” “See you there!” Without another word, you gallop off to Applejack’s farm with the last invitation.you can easily tell where Applejack's home is considering that it's a huge part of Ponyville, and an important place for ponies

to buy their food: Sweet Apple Acres. You get excited as you see trees in the distance and run straight into them not even realizing that these

trees are not apple trees.

“Okay… I’m so lost.” You had wandered around for awhile, but now ,as you look around , you only see unrecognizable trees. Things aren't getting better as you hear voices howling.

It… almost sounds like wolves … are there wolves in Equestria ?

Just as you began to wonder about this, a bush rustles and a growl emits from it. You shudder, and take a few steps back,only to back up into a grove of trees that are grown together very tightly. You press your ears down in fear as aFreakish creature unknown to you suddenly

steps out of the bushes. It looks like a wolf in form, but instead of skin, and bones this

creature is made out of trees and leaves, but it  still looked very deadly.

  You scream, and run past it as fast as you can, luckily taking it by surprise. However as you're running it howls to summon it's packmates to hunt. You sprint away as fast as you can until your legs can't carry you any further, and you collapse in the forest.

You open your eyes and found yourself in a small hut, as you look around you see that you

are laying on a mat inside of the hut. A black cauldron sits in the middle and in front of it stands a striped pony. Wait, that's not a pony…it's a zebra! The zebra looks away from the cauldron  and turns to you.

“Ah young pony, i’ve seen that you’ve awaken.You were running from the Timberwolves, if i’m

not mistaken.”

“Um, yes, I was but then I just collapsed and now i’m here… my basket!” You looked to your side to find your basket with Applejack’s invite, your map, and  the bag that contained your outfit from Rarity's’ boutique.

“Physical exertion has tired you, no doubt, but, it is you who are on the wrong route. Next time

You have a map do not get cocky. These old forests paths can get quite rocky.”

Rubbing your eyes, you ask her, “Who are you?”

“I am Zecora, a zebra, as you see. And what in the world might your name be?”

“I’m [YN], and…” You gasp. “Oh no! The party starts in fifteen minutes if I don't hurry, Applejack and I will be late!”

Zecora nods. “Then go, little pony and get there in time but getting there with a map, will be easier if you may find.”

“Thank you Zecora. Thank you for saving me!” You pause before leaving. “Would you like to

come to my party? I don't have an invitation for you but i’m sure Pinke wouldn't mind.”

Zecora chuckles. I can't [YN], i’m busy today, but thank you for the offer anyway. Now, go to your party to sing, dance, and clap, but do not forget to check your map.”

“I won’t. Goodbye Zecora!” You grab your bag and your basket and head out. Once outside you follow Zecora’s instructions and check your map, and begin galloping in the right direction.

After what seems like forever, you see the Apple farm ahead, and luckily enough Applejack was sitting right outside.

“Howdy partner.” She is leaning against the barn with her eyes close and had a piece of

Hay in her mouth.

“Applejack, oh thank goodness you’re right here! Pinkie Pie is throwing a party for me in ten minutes, and I got lost and a zebra helped me, and now I have to give you  your invitation.” You offer Applejack the letter. “Make sure to wear Rarity's dress that she made for you.”

“Ten minutes? Hay, ya’ll must've gotten really lost out there. Here, i’ll be right over you run off ahead of me while I put my dress on.”

You nod , and you practically fly away from there, you're running so fast. Finally, you found yourself at Sugarcube Corner. Before anyone can see you, you grab your outfit out of the boutique’s bag and slip it on, you take a deep breathe and walk into the bakery and up the stairs that led to Pinkie’s room. As you walk in

you realize that the lights are off so you can'tsee anything.  All of a sudden the lights flicker on, and all your pony friends including Discord,

Zecora, and Spike all jump up with a loud, “Surprise!”  You let out a small yell of surprise and smile at all of your friends standing around you. Then you notice Applejack standing there

in her dress.

“ Applejack, how did you get here so fast?” You asked stupefied.

“Well, I got a lift, “she chuckles glancing at Rainbow Dash.

“We just wanted you to be surprised!” Rainbow Dash said.

And Zecora? I thought you said you couldn't make it?”

“Your pony friends warned me before to tell you that I had to fix my decor.” She smiles warmly at you.

Pinkie Pie jumps in. “Yeah! I already told you about the party so of course you would be expecting a non - surprise party! But then, we surprised you! SURPRISED! “

“And every pony’s dresses including [YN]’s outfit looks so divine, if I do say so myself,” says Rarity, who is wearing a magnificent magenta dress with lots of lace.

“Yes Rarity, these dresses are absolutely beautiful.” Twilight agrees.

“I’m so happy we’re having this party together. It's very nice Pinkie,” Fluttershy  says,

“Thanks Fluttershy! And this party will be so fantabulous! “Pinkie jumps up and down in excitement.

“You girls are the best friends ever! Thank you so much! “ You say and then, all seven of you

come in for a group hug. Zecora stands to the side smiling, while Spike hung out over by the punch bowl as they watch everyone hug.

Discord however rolled his eyes at the group.

“I hate sappy moments”  Discord says, taking a sip of punch.

“I know what you mean.” Spike said.
