Need. Sleep." I sit up and rub my eyes, there was yellow blur in front of me and the more i rubbed my eyes, the clearer the blur became. After rubbing my eyes about 6 times I open my eyes and see a pony in front of me " HOLY SH-" The pony backed away because of my reaction. "Are you okay ?" it asked. I started breathing heavily. "OMG, OMG, Oh. My. GOD! Wh- Wh- What are you ?" I asked in a scared voice. "I'm a pony" it said with a shy voice. After I calmed down a bit. "What, what's your name ?" I asked, still a little bit scared. "My name is Fluttershy, what's yours ?" She asked. "My name is Pim. But how did I get here ? How do you talk…..?" I pause for a moment. "WHERE THE HELL AM I ?!" Fluttershy backed away a bit but this time I noticed "I'm sorry…eeuuuhh…Fluttershy. But could you tell me what's going on…I must be dreaming, I'll end this dream now." I stand up on the couch and get in position to drop myself to the floor. Fluttershy weeped a bit and said "Don't do this you'll hurt yourself!" I simply answer "What could go wrong! I'm dreaming!" The next second I lie on the floor with the start of what could become a headache. "Aauuuuuuwwwwchhhhhh. That hurt." Then realization struck me. "I'm not dreaming am I ?" Fluttershy replied "No, come on get some rest." I refused and said "I'd like to know what the hell is going. Then I'll rest." "Well, I'm sure Twilight can answer your questions. She wanted to see you when you're healthy again." I stood up and said "I need some fresh air." I look around the room for the door and when I finally spotted it. I open the door, closed my eyes and take a deep breath. The air was fresher then I ever could imagine. When I opened my eyes it came to my attention that this…"world" looked different. It looked cartoonish but still very detailed. I tried to process I saw: the cartoonish world, birds that sang in perfect harmony. It was a lot to process as I didn't realize that Fluttershy was asking me something, but after a while I noticed. I ignored what she said and went back inside. I walked to Fluttershy and asked " So…what's this 'world' called ? Can you ponies can talk ?" She replied "This is Equestria, yes all ponies and stallions can talk and I think that your actually ready to go and see Twilight." Before I agreed I asked one more question. "You still didn't tell me how I got here, from what I was at some sort of ruin before I woke up." She replied "Well, you ran into us-" I interrupted "Somepony ran into me." She replied "Yes, Rainbow Dash charged at you…" I thought of the blue pony with the rainbow mane "That's probably Rainbow Dash" She continued "Well after she charged at you, you passed out and we brought you here." I replied "That's really nice of you…ponies. Well then, shall we go to this 'Twilight' ?" as I gestured to the door. We walked on a dirt "road" to what seemed to be a village. I looked to my left and saw a forest there. Fluttershy noticed this and told me that the forest was called "Everfree Forest" but that it's a dangerous place to be. I thought "Pshhh, I'll go in there sooner or later anyways." We walked further and I began to see a town in the distance. "What's that town over there ?" She replied "That's Ponyville, we're heading to it now. Some of my best friends live there. But you saw them at the ruins." I replied "I don't remember much from our first meeting. But you should introduce them to me when we're done." After what seemed to be like 15 minutes of walking we were near the edge of town. Ponies and stallions were all staring at me and whispering stuff to each other. I started blushing a bit because I'm not used to so much attention. I saw a pony leaving her apple cart and coming toward Fluttershy. She said something to Fluttershy but I couldn't hear it. Then the pony came up to me, she was orange and had 3 apples tattoo'ed on her flank. She had a blonde mane and wore a cowboy hat. "'ello there! My name is Applejack. Nice to meet yah!" Kinda surprised by her and being so direct and kind 'Hello, I'm Pim" Applejack replied "Well, how are ya' holding up ? You passed out last time we met." I replied "Wait you were there ?" She nodded "Yes 'Ah was a bit worried." Suddenly my stomach growls…Applejack noticed this "You sound hungry, how 'bout a apple ? First on is on the house!" I gladly took the apple "Thank you very much Applejack! I appreciate it!" I took a bite from the apple she gave me. This apple was probably the best one I ate in my entire life, and I ate a lot of apples (trust me ;D). I embraced the sweet taste of it and before I knew it I ate almost all of the apple. "That was the best apple I ever at Applejack! I'll be sure to buy my apples from you." She smiled "Well thank ya' much Pim. That's good to hear! If ya' have some time, come by the Apple Ochard to visit me. But now Ah' need to get back to my cart. See ya' around Pim!" I smiled back "I will, thanks again Applejack! See you around." We walked away venturing into the town even more. I became a bit bored and started tapping my pockets like I usually do when I'm bored. I felt something and reached into my right pocket. I grabbed something out of it and looked at it. Apperently I still had my red iPod in my pocket , shame I didn't have my Ministery Of Sound headphones with me. Some music would be good right now. I think I'll still be able to buy some new headphones here. After walking for about 10 minutes we came up to a tree….house…..treehouse. Fluttershy said "Well this is where Twilight lives, in the library. She's here almost all the time though." We walk up to the door and I knock on it. I hear a some voice coming from inside "Spike! Open the door, I'll be right there" A little purple creature with green scales opened the door. "Hello Fluttershy….and…uuuhh ?" I helped him "Pim, My name's Pim. Nice to meet you." This time Fluttershy spoke up. "This is Spike, he a baby dragon." (well the story doesn't needs dragons anymore does it ;D) Spike took over and said in a proud tone "-and I'm Twilight's number 1 assistant!" I took over once more "Nice to meet you Spike." Then suddenly a purple pony with a star tattooed on her flank came down a set of stairs. "Ah, Fluttershy you made it… Oh we have a guest! Spike go make some tea please! We have a long conversation ahead of us!" Chapter 3: Starting To Settle DownAUTHOR'S NOTE: I gonna try to get this story going for a while, feedback is welcome and appreciated! But in order for some plans that I had for the story to happen, I need to develop the story further. -Madgod Pim CHAPTER 3 I enter Twilight's home and first thing I see were books...tons and tons of books. The walls are like giant bookshelves Twilight began to talk to me. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, what's yours ?" "It's Pim, nice to meet you Twilight Sparkle. Why did you want me to come over here ?" "Please call me Twilight, and the reason I called you here is because I didn't find your species in any of these books. I'd like to known what you are." "I'm a human, aren't there any humans here ?" "No, you're the first 'human' here. Could you explain more about 'humans' ?" I sighed "Sure but it's going to take a while though. Let's sit down." After explaining that humans also had male and female gender, that we live long lives, the humans live on a place called Earth, that we are sorta aggressive but then I began asking some questions. "How long do days last here ?" "Well, Princess Celestia controls the sun and Princess Luna controls the moon." I couldn't believe what I just heard, two ponies CONTROL the sun and moon! Twilight stared at me an asked: "What's wrong ? Don't you have 2 humans controlling a sun and moon ?" "No! They move on their own!" Twilight gasps "How do they move without magic ?!" "We don't have magic!! I has something to do with gravity! We can't fly or magic! Magic is a fairy tale on Earth!" Twilight frowned at me when I said that, I quickly apologized: "Sorry, I said that, I didn't know to believe in magic or not..." "It's ok, don't worry" "Thanks, it's just so...confusing. Any more questions ?" "Not now, I'm going to write a letter to Princess Celestia about you, she probably would want to see you." "That would be great, I'd like to ask her some questions..." I noticed that Fluttershy wasn't in the room anymore, she probably left. "Oh Twilight! One more question, Where's the town hall ?" "Just go to the center of town, you'll see it. I'm sure you'll be fine on your own." "Oh still forgot another question, what are those things that you ponies have on your as-.....eeeuuuhhh...flank ?" "Oh those are cutie marks, they represent your unique talent. Mine represents magic." "Ok Thanks Twilight! See you around." She waved at me while reading a book, for a second I just thought "What a nerd." So I did, went outside. Getting weird looks from everypony I made my way to the center. On my way I saw a bakery of some sort. When looked though the windows and I saw some delicious looking cupcakes. I'd love to pass by sometime and nom on one of those. I looked at a sign near the building saying "Sugercube Corner" I'd have to remember that. But right now I needed to go to the town hall, I needed information on housing, jobs and possible citizenship. I don't think I can get out of Equestria so it would be smart to settle down. After walking around town getting weird looks from everypony I arrived to what looked like a town hall. I went inside and was greeted by a pony sitting at a desk. I walked up to her and asked "Hello, I'd like to see the mayor please." "Okay, please wait for a while." She went over to a double door and went in. After about a minute she came back out. "You can go in sir." "Thank you." I opened the double door and saw a long table and a pony in front of a large window. "Word's around town that something new is walking around." She turn around and I see a pony with glasses and grey hair. "I'm the mayor, who and what are you ?" "My name is Pim and I'm a human. I came here to ask about several things." "Like what exactly ?" "We'll I'd like to settle down here. But I need housing, a job and probably citizenship right ?" "Yeah, you would require citizenship. So let us start with that shall we ? I'll be right back" The mayor went up to a cupboard and pulled out a paper and pen. She put the paper on the table and put the pen between her teeth. Somehow she could still cleary talk and said "Ok, what's your full name ?" "Pim Chindler. That's spelled Chin-dler" "Mmh, City of origin ?" Thinking a bit I said "Just write down Earth." "That should do. Now let's make a copy for the Princess." She grabbed another paper out of the cupboard and wrote the same things on it. After she was done she just left it on the table, she'd probably do something with it later. "Okay, now about a job. What are your talents ?" "Well, I'm good at making music and mixing it." "What sort of music ?" I pulled my iPod out of my pocket and asked "Can plug this in somewhere ?" She pointed at a small radio with a cable. I plugged in my iPod and put a track on She listened until the climax and then turned it off. "I'm going to address you to Ms Scratch for that. And I'll start looking for a affordable house for you." "Where do I find this Ms Scratch ?" "Leave the building walk straight forward and go right as soon as you can." "Thank you. I'll come check for a house here soon." "Goodbye." "Wow she looked really annoyed. She's probably a b*tch anyways. Oh well." Like the mayor said I went out of the town hall and went straight forward. But after 5 minutes of walking there was no right to go to. I went back to the town hall but before I entered I thought a bit. I went back to the marketplace where Applejack's cart should be. After walking a bit I saw Applejack's cart with a ponies and a stallion waiting in line. I joined and after a while it was my turn. "Hey Applejack, I need to find a certain Ms Scratch. Do you know where she lives ?" "Keep following that road and you'll end up in front of her house." and pointed to a road on the left. "Thanks Applejack, see you later!" As soon I approached a house inn the distance I could hear a kick bass become louder and louder. Once I was at the door I was head bumping on the tracks tempo. I knocked on the door knowing that it wouldn't do anything. I tried the doorknob, the door was open. Hesitating if should go in or not I thought. "What could go wrong ?" I opened the door and saw a White pony with glasses and a blue mane with highlights standing behind 2 turntables raving. The music was 130 BPM (Electro or House) and also started raving with the pony. I screamed "TOTALLY WORTH IT!" Chapter 4: Meeting Vinyl ScratchWhile I was raving waved to the white pony. I assumed that this was Ms Scratch. After raving for another minute the break kicks in and she lowers the sound on the mixer. She comes to me with a big smile on her face saying. "Hey there, you got some nice moves." "Thanks, what track were you playing, it was pretty nice. ?" "I don't know, I just grabbed a record, hoping it wasn't one of Octavia's, and played it. Why are you here ?" "Uuh, I was talking to the mayor to find a job, I told her I was good with modern music and she addressed me to a certain Ms Scratch. And I believe that's you." She answered "Please, call me Vinyl. And if you say you're good with modern music…You should show me what you're capable of." pointing at the turntables. "Sure, I'd love to mix right now! It's been a while since I mixed some tracks." I walked over to the turntables I asked good records. She gave me a bunch of records that she said is clubbish. I began mixing, she gave me a bunch of house records but I never mixed with vinyl before. So hoping it would be good. I placed the first vinyl and played it. I kept on mixing for about 10 minutes, but then I stopped because Vinyl came in the room with some drinks. She levitated 2 glasses of delicious apple juice. "You pretty good, we could team up!" "Sure! But can you plug this in ?" pulling out my iPod and show it to her. "I can but I'm not sure it will work though." I was lucky, it worked but I couldn't scratch. But I didn't mind. "Hey Vinyl, Do you know the genres Drum & Bass, Dubstep or Glitch Hop ?" "Never heard of it!" "I'll introduce you." I said as I selected my tracks. I began playing a track named Ghost Assassin by Maduk & Veela and moved on to other tracks (Talking about this mix, you might not be able to listen to it YouTube removes it for some countries like the USA). This went on for a hour and a half. I mixed Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton, House, Electro, Glitch Hop, etc. "I like you but I didn't ask your name yet. And what are you ?" "It's Pim, i'm a human and i'm really glad I met you. (No this isn't crazy….or is it :3 see what I did there *slaps knee and laughs* )" "Well me too." she said in a playful manner. I grinned a little bit when I heard that. "Good to hear that somepony isn't weirded out by me. So, you play at a club for a living ?" "I do, maybe you could teach me how to scratch and mix with vinyl and I'll teach you how to make your own music." "You make your own music ? Isn't that super hard ?" "It takes a lot of time to get something good. But I don't have a laptop here. All my stuff is back on Earth." "What's a laptop, and what's Earth ?" "A laptop is a device that a lot of persons use on Earth, the place I come from." "Maybe you could ask Celestia for something, she the most powerful being in Equestria." "I am going to see her soon anyway. Thanks for saying that!" "No problem, say do you don't have a job… Stay here until you have one, free of charge! I like that music you have what's it called again ?" "There are many genres but the general term for it is EDM. (Electronic Dance Music)" "Watch out for Octavia though, she's a real killjoy. And she highly dislikes our choice of music. She listens to classic stuff." "Bleh, I don't like classic, nothing wrong with it though." "We have a guest room so you'll be sleeping there. Why don't you go have a look at it." We went up a set of stairs and Vinyl open a door at the right side of the corridor connected to the set of stairs. It was a normally sided room with a window looking out on the garden. There was a bed, cupboard, a small desk with a chair and that was it. I didn't need anything more. Vinyl said: "I'm kinda hungry, come on! Let's have dinner!" "Don't we need to wait for you housemate Octavia ?" "She's staying in Canterlot tonight, had to play cello at a fancy party that started pretty late. "Ok then, you'll have to introduce me tomorrow." "So it's us two here alone tonight" she said grinning. I felt my face becoming red "Eeeuuuh yeah..." We went back downstairs to have dinner. I sat down at the kitchen table and watched Vinyl grab some food. She grabbed some apples (hopefully AJ's ;D) and a lot of vegetables. I didn't like vegetables very much so I grabbed myself 3 apples because I was pretty damn hungry. She grabbed a apple and some hay. We talked a bit about our day. After about half a hour we decided to go to our rooms and sleep. We both walked up to the corridor. "Well then, I had a lot of fun today Vinyl. But I'm going to bed. Good night!" "I also had a great time, see ya' in the morning Pim!" I closed the door behind me and undressed myself. I layed on the bed in my shorts thinking about all of this, this world, magic, talking ponies and dragons... I'd better just accept stuff the way it is now. I thought of going to Princess Celestia soon. I could ask how I got here, but I don't want to leave thought. Earth was a boring routine... Equestria is new and exciting. And about a job...I could ask Celestia of she could maybe do something so I could have my laptop back, then I could produce and make music. Make a living out of it and DJ in the nightclub. I had some plans...Let's hope they succeed. But now I should get some rest, it was a long day... Chapter 5: In The BoutiqueThe sun rose up from the horizon, it was a new day. My second day in Equestria started off with sunbeams shining through the window and by doing that, they woke me up. "Mmmhhhhhhh." I tried to look at the window but was blinded by the sunlight. I covered my eyes with my hand and looked outside. I saw the sun and assumed it was midday. I got dressed and went down the stairs. I went to the kitchen area and was greeted by Vinyl. "Good morning Vinyl." "Good midday Pim, did you sleep well ?" "I did, if I didn't then I would have been awake earlier." "That's good to hear...I also have a small question." "Ask away!" "Do you have a shower here ?" "We do, feel free to use it. But not too long, we have a limited amount of hot water" Relieved I blew out some air "Don't worry, I don't take long showers" I said reassuring her. I went up the stairs again and yelled "What door is the bathroom ?!" "The last one on the left!" I opened the door and was met by my reflection. A looked around in the bathroom. It had a shower, a sink and a fairly large mirror that I saw when I opened the door. I undressed myself and got into the shower. After having a hot relaxing shower I put my clothes back on, but I would need some new ones soon. I went downstairs to see Vinyl wait at the table with some breakfast. Again, there were apples, hay, carrots and all sorts a things. I ate an apple and Vinyl at some hay with an apple. "I need some new clothes, is there a tailor here in town ?" "Yeah, you should pass by Rarity's Boutique for some clothes, I don't think she ever made something for a human before though." "I think I'll go there right now. We should meet up later. How about that place called....eeeuuuhh what was it ? Sugercube Corner!" "Sounds great. Meet me there at afternoon." "Okay, I'll try to find my way to be in time. I'm going to look for a job though. I don't want to live off you and Octavia." "Sound good, 'till then." I walked to the door and opened it "Bye!" I walked back to the marketplace and walked over to Applejack. "Hey there Applejack, I need to find a place called Rarity's Boutique. Could you tell me where it is ?" "Hello Pim, I can walk with ya' to it. Ah could give you a tour of Ponyville if you want." "That would be great, but don't you have more important things to do ?" "Ah can take a break for a while." "Thanks Applejack, I appreciate it." "No problem sugercube." We walked and talked about our day a bit, I asked her where I could find a job and Applejack answered that she could use some help. I'll talk about that later with her. We arrived at a very fancy looking building. "Pim, I'm gonna go back to ma' cart now. If you need something then you know where to find me." "Thanks Applejack, we'll discuss the job thing later." I walked into the boutique and a bunch of mannequins. There also was a little stage with a mannequin on it. I heard someone coming into the room. I turned my head towards the direction where the sound came from. A white unicorn with purple mane and 3 diamonds as her cutie mark. She was levitating a ribbon and looked like she was searching for something. After searching for a while I thought it was time that she noticed me. "Euh, hello ?" She turned her head to me and after a while she realized that I was standing these "Oh excuse me, I'm rather busy right now. What can I do for you ?" "I'd like to have some clothes made for me, but I don't think you made clothes for something like me. Right ?" "Wait, you were the thing that passed out near the ruins in the forest." "Yeah, sure..." She looked at me, she walked around me, she inspected me. "I'll make you some outfits for free! I could do marvelous things with a body shaped like that! What's your name darling ?" "It's Pim, you have to be Rarity." "I am, im happy to meet you Pim. What style do you like ?" "Well, I like the style from the clothes i'm wearing right now." "Mmmhh, how is this style called ?" "Well, in my world they call it a Skater Look." That made me think of skating with some friends back on Earth. The wind when you drop down a quarterpipe or into a bowl. Sharing food and drinks when you took breaks, breaking someone's board when they asked to you. I used to represent the skating community of my hometown. We used to have a local skating day once a year at the skatepark and me and my friend would teach people how to do a ollie and how to push properly. Aaaah great times... I hope I could skate here again, maybe meet a pony that can change the shape of wood, because I don't know how to make plywood. "I'll try to have them done as soon as possibly, where are you staying darling ?" "I'm staying over at Vinyl Scratch & Octavia's house, why ?" "I'll send your new clothes over there when they're done." "You don't have to do that, you're making my clothes for free, I'll come get them myself so I can thank you." "Are you sure ?" "Pretty damn sure." I said as I smiled" "Thank you darling, anything else ?" "That will be it Rarity, thanks again." "It's fine, I'm going to enjoy making clothes for you." "See you around Rarity!" I said as I walked towards the door "Bye Pim!" She said as she continued searching Its probably time to go to Sugercube Corner and meet up with Vinyl. Let's hope I find my way back! Ok lets do this, right, left, forward, right...and there we are! I saw Sugercube Corner (around the corner, see what i did there :3) Chapter 6: Cupcakes...Lots of CupcakesAuthor’s note: If this is a bit weird that’s because my friend is playing the ME3 Extended Cut DLC next to and I’m total fanboy!!!! And I sort of making a House song for this fic.... WHEEEEEEEWWWW BACK TO WRITING!!![ I opened the door and was met by the lovely smell of cookie dough, flour and sugary things...lots of it. I looked around searching for Vinyl but got distracted by a plate of colorful cupcakes. There was a rainbow type one, one with stars, one with flowers and so on and on. I heard some yelling and turned my head toward the noise. “Hey Pim! Come over here! I have some cupcakes!” I had a smile on my face the moment she said that she had cupcakes. I quickly made my way over to the table she was sitting at. “Take a seat, have a cupcake, relax.” I did as she said and grabbed a pink cupcake and took a large bite while I proceeded to sit down. As soon as I swallowed, I just yelled. “THIS IS SO DELICIOUS!!!” Getting angry looks from everypony because I’m so stupid that I didn’t even notice that I was yelling way too loud. “So, how was it in the Boutique?” “Well Rarity, the owner, went completely crazy about my..eeeuuuhhh, body shape. She said she’ll make me some outfits...For free!” “That’s great! But I also have good news. I have a show soon and I want you to help me with it. I always use two turntables, but I wanna try four this time. So, I’m going to need your help with that. I know you’re good, and I heard you mix and it was pretty good. So are you up for it ?” “Of course I am, but if I had my laptop I would be so much better!” EDIT: Writing this part while listening to the Rock Werchter livestream with Skream, Netsky & Skrillex! Expect some weird stuff being written! “You’ll have to do with turntables now!” “I know, last time went extremely well, but I never mixed with someone else at the same time.” “Me neither. as far as I know, I was the only talented DJ in Equestria.” “Was?” “You’re here now!” “Oh, you!” I blushed a bit after she said that, don’t hear that a lot, “When is the show?” “It’s in about a week...Plenty of time to practice if you want.” “Sure, I’d love to also use my songs...But I don’t think you have a iPod input do you?” “I don’t even know what you’re talking about dude.” “Oh, nevermind then.” “But anyways, I’d like you to meet one of my good friends!” She stood up and yelled “PINKIIIEEEEEE!!!! SOMEONE NEW IS HERE!!” I suddenly heard somepony screaming. “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!! SOMEONE NEW!!! THAT MEANS CAN HAVE A WELCOMING PARTY, YAY!!!!” Next thing I know, a pink pony had me pinned to the ground. “WOW THERE! Calm the fuck down!” “HEY! You’re not going to use mean words are you?!” “Oh sorry, old habit. But a welcoming party huh...” I started grinning. “Vinyl, we could take care of the music right?” “Sure! That would be great, Pinkie, is tonight ok?” “Of course, you silly! We could have punch and-” She started to sorta hyperventilate. I grabbed her and shook her. (not too hard) “Calm. Down. Please.” “Only if you tell me your name!” “It’s Pim.” “Sorry, Pim. She gets carried away pretty fast.” Vinyl walked over her and whispered something. Pinkie jumped in the air and floated there for a while, breaking the laws of physics and simply mindfucking me. “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! I’m going to set this party up right away! YAY!!!!” and Pinkie ran off and Vinyl came back to our table. EDIT: Listen to this beautiful House song! I'll be trying to make something like this for the fic and the upcoming plot! Vinyl started talking again. “You haven’t even actually told me your artist name yet, what is it ?” “Well, I really haven’t got one but I always used ‘Madgod’ as my nickname.” “It sounds cool, dark and mysterious. Wanna know my name?” “Sure!” “Its DJ-PON3.” “That reminds of a famous artist back on Earth.” I started to hum a tune (skip to 3:50). “What was the name of the artist?” “It’s ‘Deadmau5’. He makes Progressive House and his chords are the best. He’s the 4th best DJ of this year and he uses the same producing software as me. I could keep going on about him but I’m not.” “Thank you.” I looked at the cupcakes and noticed that there was one left. “Have the last cupcake.” I said with a smile. She started crying “You’re a real friend, Pim...” and she continued sobbing while eating the last cupcake. (I will LOVE you if you get that reference!) I looked outside the window, the sun was setting. “We should be going home now, shouldn’t we?” “Sure...” she said still sobbing We both stood up and walked to the door. I opened the door and gestured Vinyl to go outside first. She gave me a big smile and a friendly nod. We walked back home, talked a bit on the way and had the usual awkward silence. I walked up to the door and opened it for Vinyl. Everything was dark when I went in...Then I almost had a heart attack. Almost everypony I saw today was in here! How did they even get in here! What is everypo- I need to calm down a bit don’t I? “SURPRISE!!!!” “Eeeeeuuuuhhhh... Hi, everypony...” I greeted as I walked through the room looking for Pinkie. I saw her over at the four other ponies I met recently and another one that looked pretty familiar. I walked over here and broke their circle and said my greetings to everypony. “Hey Applejack, hey Rarity, hey Twilight, hey Fluttershy, hey Pinkie thanks for the party by the way, its very surprising! And you are ?” looking at the rainbow-maned pony “I am Rai-” “Rainbow Dash ?” I said with this kind of face “Yeah, how did you know?!” “The name got mentioned before, I remember a pony with rainbow mane making me pass out, logic thinking does the rest.” “Oh..euuuh OK. Sorry about that though.” “No hard feelings! I forgive you. You look like a cool and chill pony, we should hang out sometime.” “Eeeuuuhhh...suuuuuuuurrrreeeeeee.” “Ok, I have to admit that that sounded weird to say when you just met each other, I don’t care. And thanks for the party Pinkie, its great but I’m going to meet some ponies! Bye then!” After I left the group, they began talking again “He’s weird.” Twilight said “I kinda like his style of introducing...” Rainbow Dash said. After talking to some ponies, somepony told me to go to the kitchen. So I did and Vinyl stood there behind a mixer and two turntables. “MIXIN’ TIME BABY!!” Now the party had begun...Alcohol...Ponies...Music...Food...And a shitload of time... LET’S DO THIS! LEEERRROOOOOOYYYY JENKIIIIINNNNSSSSS :D Chapter 7: Royal HangoverI fall on the ground. “Aaaaaaaawwwwwcchhhh....I wanna SLEEEEEEEEEEEP!” I felt a headache coming up...I looked around a bit. Apparently, I had rolled out of my bed and fell on the floor. My legs were still on the bed though. After laying down for a while I stood up and walked over to the window. Being dumb and all, I opened the curtains. Still being dumb I looked directly at the sun. “AAAAAAHHHH!!! LIGHT!!” I yelled while I fell to the ground. I crawl under my bed and grab my pillow. “Sleeeeeeeepp...Mmmmhhhhh.” After trying to fall asleep for about fifteen minutes, I gave up. I stood up, ready to face sunlight again! I got my clothes and went into the corridor and knocked on the bathroom door to check if anyone was in there. I let out a sigh. I went inside and turned on the shower. Put my clothes on the floor and stepped in the shower after removing my underpants. I started humming another song. After showering, I got dressed. I hope Rarity finishes my new clothes soon. These are getting pretty damn dirty. I went downstairs to go eat some breakfast. There was absolutely no trace of last night’s party whatsoever! As I entered the kitchen, I saw a light grey earth pony with a dark grey mane and tail. “Oh hello there, you must be Pim.” “I am! You must be Octavia, nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too, Vinyl informed me that she offered you to stay here until you have enough money to buy a house yourself. I’m OK with that as long you don’t make a mess.” “Well, did you notice any mess when you arrived here?” “Well...eehh, No...” “Well then, you shouldn’t expect any mess soon should you?” “I- I guess not...Anyways, since the mayor told you to come here you must have some sort of music talent right?” “Well, I’m good at mixing like Vinyl but I also make my own music...” “Not the same kind of junk that she plays right?” “Hey! Don’t call it junk, it’s very hard to make! What kind of music do you play, huh?!” “I play good music, classical music.” “Mmmmhhhh, I might know someone that you’ll like in my music style...” “I wouldn’t hope on that.” “Trust me, you’ll like it!” I grabbed my iPod out of my pocket and tried to turn it on...Battery is dead...FUUU “Well, I guess that will have to wait...” “Yes, there are two more things I needed to tell you. Number 1: Rarity left you a package by the door. Number 2: When I was in Canterlot, I got a letter from Princess Celestia saying that she requests your audience...today. You better get dressed, we’re leaving soon.” “Well, ok then...I guess.” I walked to the door and opened it to get the package...It wasn’t there... “Hey Octavia, where is Rarity’s package ?” “Vinyl brought it to your room. Please get yourself ready...We’re leaving in about twenty minutes.” “TWENTY MINUTES!? HOLY SHIT, I BETTER GET READY!!!” Octavia frowned after hearing that...completely understandable! I grabbed two apples from the table and ran upstairs, while taking a bite from an apple. I opened the door to my room and looked around a bit, the package was on the table. I ripped the package open and saw some outfits, skater-styled of course. Rarity made me some shirts with sleeves, some jeans with some rips in them, some T-Shirts...I love Rarity for this. After giving each outfit a spot I saw the last outfit...A tuxedo! Man...that looks awesome! After spending about ten minutes how to tie the tie she gave me. I heard some yelling from downstairs. “Pim! We’re leaving in two minutes!” “Stop fucking yelling...aaahhh fucking headache...” I mumbled to myself. I headed downstairs to see Vinyl and Octavia waiting for me at the door. “Wow you look great!” Octavia and Vinyl said in unison, chuckling a bit because of the sync. “Thanks, I do hope I was ready in time...” “You are, now there’s a long walk to the center of town. Our carriage is waiting for us there.” Octavia said. So we walked a good ten minutes and arrived at the carriage. I think the carriage was sent by the princess herself because there two white stallions in gold armour pulling it. After a ride of about a hour we stopped. “Did we arrive?” “I think we did, let’s GO!” Vinyl said We walked into Canterlot and I was getting suspicious looks from everypony. Suddenly, a group fillies run up to Vinyl “Can I have your autograph Ms. Scratch! Oh please, please, pleeeeaasssseee!” “Sure!” Vinyl said while levitating a quill with her magic. She signed a few things and then Vinyl and the fillies said their goodbyes. “M’kay, let’s move on now.” I said We walked towards a big castle with some guard in front of it. Octavia walked up to them and said something. The guards stepped aside so we could enter the castle. We walked into a big room with a big staircase in the middle of it. At the top of the staircase stood 2 very large ponies. One of them was white and had a moving colored mane, the other one was dark blue-ish mane that was sparkling and a even darker fur. They both had wings and horns...I don’t know why they had both but it seemed better to no question it. “Hello there...errrr...Princesses...” I said as I bowed. “There is no need for bowing, creature.” Celestia said with a soft voice. “What are thou!” Luna said with her Royal Canterlot voice. “Could you please stop yelling, I kinda have a headache...Thank you Princess...eeuuhhhh-” I said before Celestia interrupted me. “Luna, and I am Princess Celestia. She’s the one controlling the moon and I am the one controlling the sun if you were wondering.” “Thank you for informing me Princess Celestia, why did I have to come here?” I asked “You are the first of your species here on Equestria. And you can talk!” “Well thanks I guess...I guess I’ll start explaining about my world.” I started talking about humans, plants and all that stuff. Talked about the way our universe works, what I knew about biology and our technology.” “So you’re technology is based on minerals you find in the bottoms of the planet...I think I might order a settlement to start looking for these minerals. I’ll do something in return for telling us about your world.” Celestia said. She levitated a quill and a piece of paper, burnt in after a while and the flame flew away...just...dafuq “You are now a citizen of Equestria! Congratulations, Pim!” I smiled at this. Luna spoke again...This time fortunately on a normal tone "I've been watching you for a while to be honest...You have been talking about a device called a 'laptop'..." She stepped aside and I saw a little cardboard box. "Go ahead, open it. You'll like what you'll see." I opened the box and saw a bunch of cables, my laptop, my headphones, my subwoofer and my mini-keyboard...FUCK YEAH!!!! "Thank you Princess! How did you get this ?!" "Alicorns are powerful creatures...And please, call me Luna." "Really thanks Luna! I'll send a track over sometime!" I looked at the cables again "Small problem, there isn't a charger in here." "I made sure that you don't need any sort of energy source anymore to use this device. There are some other things I've done with it...Just have a look when you're back home." "Thank you Luna, and thank you Celestia for making me a citizen!" We said our goodbyes and went back to the carriage outside the castle. "Octavia, Vinyl...I'll show you my music talent back in Ponyville..." Chapter 8: Dat PlotOctavia, Vinyl, and I came home again around seven PM. My hangover died away over the long ride back home. I opened the door and ran upstairs. "Vinyl! Where are your turntables and the mixer?! I need to show you guys something!" "They're in the attic! Wait, I'll show you." And the next moment she's next to me. *gasp* She used her magic to open up a trapdoor and she levitated the mixer and two turntables out of it. "Do you possibly have two more turntables?" "I have an additional six left, let me search for a moment." "Ok thanks! OCTAVIA! GRAB MY HEADPHONES OUT OF THE BOX! I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO SOMETHING!" I ran downstairs and plugged in my headphones into my iPod, and I put on VARIEN - THE ALCHEMIST'S NIGHTMARE put them on Octavia's head. "Mmmhh, this is actually…..quite good….it has a lot of classical elements in it combined with a limited amount of elements of…eeuuuhhh, the music that you two listen to." "Well it’s based on classical music, so you'll probably lik-" "FOUND 'EM PIM! GET YOUR FLANK UP HERE!" "I HAVE AN ASS, NOT A DAMN FLANK!!!" I yelled as I laughed loudly. I ran upstairs to check on Vinyl, and she was levitating two more turntables. "I'll grab it!" I said as grabbed the mixer and two turntables. Vinyl and I ran down the stairs and put the turntables and mixer on Vinyl's DJ Stand. I walked over to my box and pulled out all the cables and my laptop. I searched the turntables for in-/outputs. After a while I found a input…then the output, but I didn't have any in-/output cables. As I always do when I don't have matching cables, I still try cables. I grabbed a cable and tried to put it into the contact. As soon it touched the port the cables in/output began to MORPH! "WHAT THE FRIKKIN' BLARG ?! DID THAT CABLE JUST CHANGE?!? WHAT THE- ZOMG AAHHHH HERP DERP!!!!" and then I did a table flip gesture. I grabbed the laptop and put it on a free spot on the table, instead the morphed cables and turned on the laptop. *DUUUUUUUNNNN* "HELL YEAH IT FRIKKIN' WORKS" and I started to jump around because of joy…JOY SO MUCH JOY (In Ben's name! "JELLO PUDDING!" -The Producer) The desktop appeared and the automated option of launching Skype when I logged in still worked. I typed 'Traktor' into Spotlight and elected 'Traktor.app' (YES I am on a Mac, sue me PS: Not you Kyle Bucy, you'll kick my flank) *Skype logged in sound* "What was that?" I looked at Skype and saw that I logged in! "OH MY FUCKING GOD! I HAS INTERNET HERE!" I yelled and proceeded to launch Safari….and it did work….what the fuck is going on??? "Well that mystery has to wait, MIXING TIME!!!" I dragged a 'Klapex - Lights' in from my track collection into Deck A to test if the sound worked, but before I started the track I knew I had forgotten something….I thought for a while….EUREKA! MY SUBWOOFER!!!! I grabbed it from the box that Luna gave me and pressed the on button, and it did what I thought it would: actually work. I connected the output cable to my laptop and started Deck A…IT WORKED!!! I stopped it…Time to mix for real, I already knew what I wanted my mix to be….a mix of the newest Monstercat album 'Monstercat 007 - Solace'…So I mixed! Location: Somewhere in Equestria *trololol* Equestrai's First Royal Mine is located about 500 KM away from Appleloosa. Princess Celestia orders the opening on a mine in search for minerals in the bottom of Equestria. Mostly earth ponies work in the mine, a few unicorns and pegasi are also stationed there. Princess Celestia chose a good location for the mine, the area was wealthy,and she noticed. She sent over more earth ponies because of their power…and soon the number of (earth) ponies reached the point that you could start a army to conquer Equestria. Luna noticed this and sent over pegasi to pick up the minerals and unicorns for research. But, the earth ponies began to become greedy over the mineral, they wouldn't give it up… two pegasi have been killed so far, that send out a message going like this 'DON'T. TAKE. OUR MINERALS." Both princesses forgot about moving Discord's Statue to a far away location underground, they didn't realize that the Royal Mine was actually quite close to the tomb…And the mineral greed caused a good bit of discord. Deep inside Discord's Tomb a laugh could be heard. "Mmmhhuhuhuhahahaha!! Fools…Time to gather some friends! HAHAHAHAHAHA" Since no one payed attention to the tomb, none could hear the heavy laughter and the sound of a collapsing building. After a while the tomb collapsed, causing a shock that could be felt in the mine. Since the unicorns and pegasi worked above ground they couldn't feel it, but the miners aka earth ponies did…But all they could think about were minerals, minerals and…guess what ? MINERALS! But the next sign could be heard by every pony in Equestria…A maniacal laughter followed by a voice that would surround everypony "EVERYPONY BETTER PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR SOME….MMMMHHHH…HOW ABOUT SOME NICE MADNESS HUH?! MHUHHAHAHAHAHA" Author's note: There you go! I started the plot, this may seem cliché but just wait…This is going to be different, I PROMISE!!! Only 3 people know the plot so far, well what I have so far. And I hope this was a successful cliffhanger which I doubt it is. And another thing! BIG SHOUT TO THE SWIRLY BENDY SPOONS (Something Epic + friends that writers Skype group) and Gyrofest96 (Doug from Something Epic) for proof reading every chapter before I release it! and remember keep your JELLO PUDDING and Chapter title's away from Ben aka "The Producer" (from Something Epic) I hope that shootout was big enough...BTW, Should I allow SOME dutch into the story, one-liners and such. Now lets end with a YouTube like outro: THANKS FOR READING! DON'T FORGET TO LIKE, FAVORITE THE STORY AND STALK ME (Watch me) BAI BAI!!!!! PS: THE POWER FIMFICTION.NET COMPELLS YOU WRITER'S BLOCK PPS: Guys correct me if I'm wrong but I've been thinking about this, but isn't PBat (PaperbatVG) a brony ?! He liked a episode once and he has references to the show in his rap (ex. Champs are 20% cooler in 'The Ruler') So I might do something with that if I'm right..MHUHUHAHAHA! P, ya' better watch out! Chapter 10: Wait WHAT!I opened my eyes and saw Vinyl next to me, smiling. I moved a bit when I yawned and saw Vinyl opening her eyes. Seeing her red irises and her big smile...That made me let out a little squeal. We gave each other each other a hug. We smiled at each other again. I really hope this day will be normal. We both got out of the bed and opened the curtains, the sunlight shining in the eyes always wakes people up. “Good morning Vinyl.” I said bluntly while hugging her. “Mornin’. Did you sleep well next to me?” “Oh I slept more then well...” I replied, lifting my eyebrows in a lewd manner. “I’m kidding by the way... I hope.” “You wanna go shower first, Vinyl? I’ll go downstairs to check on Pinkie and Octavia” “Sure, thanks!” “No problem!” I called out as she went over to the bathroom and winked. When we went downstairs, I saw that no one was in the kitchen or living room. Guess it’s just me and Vinyl. I went over to the kitchen and saw the basket of apples. I should try to make something nice for Vinyl and me. I grabbed some apples and a knife. I cut the apples into pieces and poured a little bit of sugar on top. I didn’t have much cooking knowledge, but I did know how to make a tasty little snack. I put them on some nice little plates and put the snack on the table. Then I saw something else... Eggs! I grabbed two and turned on the furnace, grabbed a pan and cracked open the eggs in the pan. Omelet time! I might make some waffles or pancakes, but I don’t exactly remember the recipe. I watched as the eggs started to turn into omelets, amazing progress! You should try it yourself sometime. Anyways, back to the actual story. I noticed that I didn’t hear any water being pumped up anymore, so I’d say that Vinyl finished her shower. I picked up some bigger plates for the omelets, this should be a tasty breakfast. I heard Vinyl coming down the stairs and I quickly grabbed two glasses and filled them with water. Yes from the sink, don’t judge me, it’s healthy! “I see that you made us a nice little breakfast.” Vinyl said, walking into the kitchen with a big smile. “I did, let’s hope its going to be good!” I replied as I gestured her to take a seat. “Thank you!” she replied we both started eating. I did a pretty good job. And these apples and omelets tasted WAY better then on Earth, I guess Equestria is just simply heaven... Did I die when I fell asleep? Nah, that’s impossibru. Anyways, back to talking! There was sort of an awkward silence while eating, mission objective: kill the silence! “Yesterday was weird huh...” I began “Mhm!” Vinyl replied while eating her omelet. “We didn’t do any weird stuff while we were sleeping...right?” “Not that I know of.” she said, slightly swinging her backlegs. “I’m gonna check on Pinkie later on, ‘kay?” “Sounds good, I’ll go look for Octavia.” “M’kay.” I replied and another awkward silence followed, why is it always so awkward! We finished breakfast and I quickly went upstairs for a shower. After showering I went downstairs to give Vinyl another hug... We looked at eachother of a while. Suddenly Vinyl kissed me! “I...did not expect that. But thanks... I guess.” “Don’t ever leave me. EVER.” “Trust me, I won’t.” I walked outside and made my way over to Sugarcube Corner. Did Vinyl really kiss me? Does she feel something for me? She’s cool and all but I don’t think I’m ready to kiss a pony’s muzzle myself. Beeuugh! Better to not think about it right now. I need to check on Pinkie. And there it was... Sugarcube Corner! This place is never going to be the same again after what happened. As I walked in went up to Mrs Cake, which was walking around. “Uuuh, hello Mrs Cake. Where’s Pinkie?” “She’s upstairs, why do you need her?” “I just need to check on her really quick. Thanks Mrs Cake.” “Eeeuh, goodbye.” she said nervously, thinking about yesterday. I went up the stairs and came across a door that had a sigh saying ‘Pinkie’ on it. I went in and saw Pinkie sitting on the side of her bed. Something is wrong with her, she should be spitting in the face of physics! Come on! She's Pinkie! I approached her and accidentally scared her. “Oh he-hello Pim.” she said with a nervous laugh. Her mane was all ruffled and she looked like hardly slept at all. Fuck. This pony needs to be calmed down. I NEED to fix this. It breaks my heart to see somepony/somebody that is important to me crying. I sat down next to her and looked at her. “Tell me what’s on your mind Pinkie.” She started sobbing. I pulled her closer to me and gave her a little hug. “Why do you look so bad Pinkie, see you like this worries me. Alot.” “I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking about yesterday.” “I know Pinkie. It was terrifying...” “I’m scared Pim.” she said after a moment of silence. She did sound scared, even more scared then Fluttershy in a large crowd that is watching her. I pulled her in for another huggle. (SO MANY HUGGLES) “I’m also scared, we need to inform your friends about this. The shit that happend is... mental.” “It’s just... I feel like I need someone to protect me. I feel so vunerable...” “Pinkie, look at me.” I said and I gestured to look at me “I would never let you down or get hurt. No matter what. You’re one of my best friends. I would kill myself if something happens to you.” She started sobbing more and pulled her forelegs around me. “Pim...Don’t let go, please.” “I won’t, don’t worry.” We glared into each others eyes and we both smiled. I hugged her and closed my eyes. Then I felt something. It was soft...wait, no. Is she also kissing me?! I opened my eyes to see Pinkie kissing me. She stopped as soon she realised that I was watching. “Oh sorry, don’t hate me.” “Eeeeuuuhhh, Don’t....worry, it’s ok.” I replied with a nervous voice. I didn’t expect that these things would happen! Fuck! What do I do? What do I say!? I need to get out of here. NOW. “Eeuuh, Pinkie. Gather your friends, we need to go to Canterlot. I’ll go get Vinyl and Octavia...If I can find her. Meet me at the town hall in 30 minutes.” “Ok!” She sounded happy again. So that kiss cheered her up. I went out of Sugarcube Corner and made my way back ‘home’. Well I live there so its home! DEAL WITH IT! I walked in and saw Vinyl. She had a worried look on her face. “What’s wrong Vinyl?” “I can’t find Octavia! Some people say that she went to Canterlot but she was going with us wasn’t she?!” “Well, let’s go to Canterlot with Pinkie’s friends. We need to go order a carriage right away!” “Ok, let’s go!” We walked to the town center and ordered a carriage to Canterlot. I told Vinyl that I’d go get Pinkie and the rest. I walked towards the town hall and saw some good old friends waiting. “Hello eveypony!” I called out to the group and waved “Hello Pim, why do you need us?” Twilight asked. “No time to explain, we need to go. There’s a carriage waiting and I have no time to explain now.” “Wait a moment. Ah could finish ma’ chores at Sweet Apple Acres right now!” Applejack interrupted I took a slow breath... “We don’t have any fucking time right now! All you need to know is that this is very important.” I sighed “Sorry, but trust me. I’ll explain once we’re on our way.” I gestured the group to follow and a few moments later we we’re in the carriage. I felt the carriage moving, time for a explanation. Vinyl started explaining what happened yesterday and then Pinkie began to tell about the red pony. “So Discord is free again and that pony is going to free Nightmare Moon?! We need to hurry.” Rainbow Dash yelled after Pinkie finished talking. “Thank you Captain Obvious.” I said bluntly “We reached Canterlot!” I heard a voice call out from the front of the carriage. “Looks like we arrived! Before we go to the castle we need to look for Octavia!” Vinyl said. “All right!” the group cheered. We looked around but we didn’t see her. So we started to ask everypony if they saw her. Nopony knew if she was here or not. “Fuck it! We need to go to the castle, we’ll look for her later.” and a moment later I hear some singing in a recognizable voice... I went up the source of the sound and found out it was coming from an alleyway. “Do you guys hear that?” The group nodded. We went up to the alley and we all gasped! “Smile, smile....SMILE!!!” We saw Octavia, all grey, no colour other then different tins of grey, lying on the ground with a bottle of Buck Daniels next to her. Completely drowned. She had a strong smell of alcohol coming off her. We just stared... and she noticed after a while. “Wha’ are y’all lookin’ at huh!” and she hicked. So that’s another chapter done! So you probably noticed that Pinkie and Vinyl are going for a relationship here, we’ll I can’t decide who to pick. So vote in the comments who you’d like to see shipped. And don’t forget to watch me because I post a good amount of blog posts (perhaps too much) with funny stuff, links, stuff about the story, ideas, … You get the picture, right? Well, bai bai everypony! The Madgod himself, Pim Chapter 11: Ain't No Party Like a Mentis Party!“Why is she suddenly so grey?” I whispered to Twilight. “I don’t know, let’s get her to the castle. Maybe Princess Celestia knows what’s wrong.” “All right.” I silently replied and cleared my throat “Octavia, stand up and come with us.” “I’m fine right here.” “Just come with us...” “Nope.” I turned to the group “Would someone please talk some sense into her?” Vinyl walked up to Octavia. Her usual big smile was gone and lowered her head to the level that Octavia was on. “Stand the buck up and follow us. Now.” “Such harsh language is not needed my dear.” Rarity said to her. But Octavia stood up and walked up to the group. The smell coming off of her was HORRIBLE! “Come on, let’s move” I told the group. We made our way to the castle and the stopped in front of the doors. The guards gave Octavia a weird look but let us all in anyways, they recognized us. Both princesses stood at the top of the large staircase in the hall. Twilight ran up to Princess Celestia, leaving the group behind. “Princess Celestia! It’s so great to see you!” she yelled as she ran up to her “It’s also good to see you my faithful student. What brings you here?” “Pinkie, Octavia, Vinyl and Pim will tell you in a moment. Do you know what’s wrong with Octavia?” and she pointed at her She gasped. “All of the Element of Harmony, come here.” They all moved forward and Princess Celestia whispered something to them. After a while I heard Rainbow Dash yell something. “Discorded?!” Princess Celestia stepped out of the group and walked up to Octavia. “Go with them, they’ll help you.” Without saying anything, she joined the small separate group and walked off. “Hahahahaha... Ah, ah, ah! Celly, I’ve put FAR too much time into this plan for you to put your tall little hoovsies into it and spoil it.” “And that’s why we have come here.” I said. It was like I was almost used to it, but both Princesses looked around the room looking for the source of the voice. “Oh, don’t tell me that the mighty, and divine princesses can’t figure out the location of wone widdle wonewy voice?” Somehow it still managed to creep me out. But this was a bad time for him to show up. “It’s some freaky red earth pony with a tri-colored mane. It can make stuff float and grow beards on everypony. Oh, almost forgot! It has something with pizza rolls.” “Floating, growing beards and pizza rolls. You think I can only do that. Pimmy-boy, I have much, much more abilities and party gifts than even that.” Welp, there goes my hopes of having any chance against it. “Reveal thyself!” Princess Luna called out. “Luna, I don’t think that will work.” I said and facepalmed “You’d be surprised, Pimmy-boy.” There was the red pony, standing in-between the two princesses and looking at his hoof. The two princesses almost simultaneously jumped aside. “What? Lu-lu over there wanted me to show up, so I did. Now you’re freaking out like you just saw a nightmare.” “Well you do look pretty fucked up, don’t you.” I called out to the red pony The red pony looked at me with surprise as he lifted a hoof to his muzzle. “I’m not... ugly... am I?” He summoned a mirror out of nowhere and looked at it. It screeched in pain and burst into flame. “Guess I am.” “Well, what are you going to do this time, oh red ugly overpowered pony? Drop a piano on my head or turn me into a tiki statue?” “Those are both very funny ideas, Pim, but I was going to do something before you distracted me,” The pony began as he tapped his hoof against his chin. “I know I said it before... Oh, right! Nightmare!” The pony’s face split into a maniacal grin. Everypony started to back off in fear. “Let’s get ready for a party... Because there’s no party... Like a Mentis party!” Mentis reared up onto his rear hooves and spread his forehooves, massive party poppers erupting from nowhere and firing off confetti and a smoke cloud. “Now everyone, lets say hello to the guest of honor... Nightmare Moon!” Through the haze, I saw Mentis reach his hooves over to Luna’s forehead, and Luna began to writhe as she changed shape. “WOO PARTY!!!!” I yelled... but then I looked over to Luna. “Fuck.” I ran up to Luna but it felt like there was a wall somehow pushing me back, impeding any progress at all. “Hehehehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well Pim, I guess that you’re just stuck with watching her change, aren’t you?” “You fucker! Don’t you even dare do something to her! I will rip your entrails out and use them as a lasso to choke you!” “Good luck trying to find them, I can’t even do it myself when they feel like playing hide and seek!” I kept on trying to pass that invisible wall with no success. I noticed that more and more confetti was falling near Luna. Eventually I couldn’t see through it anymore. “Fuck!! I have to save her! Vinyl! Where are you?!” I heard a faint voice call out my name. “Pim!” Damn it! Am I completely isolated?! “Yes you are, Pim. Yes you are! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Mentis appreared right in front of me. “Guess what Pim? You’re stuck here. With ME. EEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!” I balled up my hands to fists, and they started to shake in anger. “You’ll pay for this!” and I charged at Mentis. “Bad form, Pim.” Mentis reared up again and turned into mist as I barreled straight through him. I looked around and saw Mentis behind me. I shook my head in disbelief. “Round and round and round I go... Which one is real? Not even I know. Hahahahahahahahaha!” I sunk to my knees and put my hands to my head. “How am I going to save Vinyl...Shit! How am I going to save the rest! I need to find Pinkie, Vinyl and the rest and get the fuck out of here!” I stood up and charged into a random direction off into the mist. My eyes were hurting from all the smoke and I could barely breathe. “Are you going to find them? Are you going to fail? Lets see what happens, Pim.” “I won’t fail! I swear!” I used all my courage to continue running through the mist. “How can you be so sure? I’m here, there’s Nightmare running around, and this is MY smoke. What do you think you can do against the Traveler of Insanity?” “I will kill you where you stand.” (get the reference?) I said bluntly as I kept running. I should have bumped into a wall by now. I still didn’t understand what was happening! “Kill me... Hehehe... Now that’s a funny thought...” After running for a while I saw a silhouette in the mist. “Vinyl! Is that you!?” I yelled as I ran to the silhouette. As I got closed I noticed the silhouette was bigger then a pony’s and I felt the air becoming colder... A lot colder. My eyes reached the point where I needed to close them to ease the pain. Suddenly I bumped into something and fell to the ground. I opened my eyes and I saw a black alicorn in front of me. It was looking down to me. She had black fur, Blue-ish armor, a mane like the night sky and a moon as cutie mark. “So this is the foolish creature that Mentis told me about.” I crawled up from the ground and yelled “BOOK IEEET!!!!” and ran off as fast as I could. I closed my eyes again due to the mist. And guess what... I bumped into something else... AGAIN! I opened my eyes to Mentis. Hundreds of them smiling at me with their cracked grins. “NOEP!” “Welcome to Mentis’s room of one thousand insanities! Now, I bet you’re wondering how you play the game, and what you get when you win, don’t you?” I walked up to the closed Mentis and punched it. It just vanished into smoke and reappeared later. “Ah, ah ah, Pim. You’re in the game now, and you got to play by the rules!” “When what are said rules huh?!” I yelled “The rules are simple. Find a way out without breaking the mirrors, and you get her,” He clopped his hooves together and Vinyl popped up next to him. All of him. “If not, that means that she gets to be food for Chrysalis!” “Who the flying fuck is Chysalis?! Nevermind, I don’t even care. So if I get out I’ll get Vinyl and the rest right?” “I said Vinyl. Never said the rest. You get to find them for yourself. Granted, I’ll also take away the smoke.” “Any clues?” “Pim, I’m the villain here. I’m not supposed to make it easy on you. Now shoo. Go.” I sighed. “Damn it,” and started running to the right of the room. It wasn’t long before I bumped into a mirror. I started looking around. The mirrors where everywhere, on the floor, ceiling and obviously the walls. I saw Mentis in the mirror and I turned around. He wasn’t there... “Pim, Pim, Pim... You obviously don’t want to save your friends, don’t you? Lookie here! Vinyl!” He stepped into a hundred more mirrors and made even more Vinyls refract off of the mirrors. “I fucking hate your guts. Go die under a giraffe.” He winked at me. I shrugged. “A giraffe? I can make that happen!” Suddenly, hundreds of balloon animal giraffes winked into existence. One found itself on Mentis’s head. “You forgot the part where you die!” “Pim, I’m insane, not stupid. Besides, I don’t even know how to kill myself, silly!” I walked off, I needed to concentrate. Everything looked the same! Damn mirrors, time to run off into a random direction again. I turned around and began running. I started to think... What if I run into a mirror? Maybe it’ll teleport me! I looked for a mirror that was directly facing me. After looking for ten minutes I found one nearby and made a run for it. But before I could run into it I saw another reflection of Vinyl. Is she the real one? Of course not! “Mentis! Would you be so friendly to stop fucking with my head?” I yelled, hoping he would hear it. I started walking around again. This went on for quite awhile until I got tired of it. “I’m never getting out of here, time to break the rules.” I said to myself. I looked around a bit and got rid of my T-Shirt to wrap around my fist. I punched the mirror with all my might but I it remained unharmed. I tried again and again and again. Nothing worked. “Well... FUCK!” I yelled and swinged my foot against in rage. The mirror shattered! I saw a hallway in front of me. “Now I can finally fucking get out of here!” There was clapping. “Hahahaha, good show, Pim! I was wondering when you would stop confining to the rules and break them. It was so boring watching you bumble around aimlessly and bump into the walls. Now, if you open the door in front of you...” The outline of a door shone like a light right in front of me. I ignored Mentis and walked to the door. Is this a trap? I can’t trust Mentis, but this looks like my only way out. I have to do it! I put my hand against the cold door to push it open. I opened it a bit and was blinded by the brightness. I turned around before entering. “Are Vinyl and everyone else in there?!” “See for yourself.” I walked through the door. It looked like this was the throne room. “‘Ello! Anyone here!” “Pim?!” I hear my name from above. I ran to the middle of the room and turned around. I saw everypony that I had arrived with here. Octavia looked normal again, great! I was actually looking forward to drinking something with her. “What happened to you guys?!” I called out. “We ‘cured’ Octavia, Vinyl joined us a bit later. What’s wrong, you look stressed?” Twilight replied “So you guys don’t know what happened!?” I yelled again “I don’t think so, what happended?” “The red pony appeared! And he turned Luna into Nightmare Moon! We need to get out of here!” Everypony gasped. A moment later we heard laughter. “Guys! Now! We need to leave!” “No! We need to get Luna back!” Rainbow Dash yelled “Are you mad! Mentis is in there! WITH NIGHTMARE MOON!” I responded “Mentis?” Applejack asked “The red pony.” I sighed “But we need to go! Now!” “You’re right.” Fluttershy said “Ya’ see, now let’s go!” I yelled. I began making my way up to the balcony they were on. “Twilight! Where’s the nearest exit?” I asked once I reached them “On the other side of the room.” she replied pointing at the door on the other side “Hahahahaha... Let the games begin!” A voice called out. “Are you fucking kidding me!” I yelled “We need to move. Now!” I ran down the stairs leading to the balcony and the group followed me. Once we we’re on the main floor again, we made our way to the door. “Did you really think that it would be that easy? Hahahahahahaha!” Suddenly, the entire room extended explosively, and walls burst from the floor. Standing on top of these walls was Mentis, in a red velvet suit and matching top hat. “Hahahahaha! Seeing that we’ve already had our little party, I guess it’s time for the afterparty! If you follow the trail,” He pointed with his hoof at the entrance to the maze. “You’ll find yourself at the... refreshments. Hahahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” “Everypony stay together!” “Remember how that idea worked with Discord? Yeah, didn’t think so.” Mentis splayed out on top of the wall he was standing on, putting his hooves under his chin. “I don’t know what happened so I don’t give a single shit.” The group started to walk into the maze. “M’kay. Left or right everypony?” “How about every-which-way? That sounds like fun!” Suddenly, Mentis clapped his hooves together. A bright flash later left me alone in a corner of the maze. “Are you fucking kidding me!” I screamed, hearing the echo a few moments later. Mentis was sitting on a stool, floating in the middle of everything, reading a newspaper. He lowered it to look at me. “No, I’m not. If I were kidding me, there would be more rubber chickens and squeaky ducks.” I sighed. Looks like there’s no other choice. Whelp, here goes nothing. I went left at the first corner, right at the second. And this went on for a while until I lost track. Wait... wasn’t I here before? Why does it look the same as five minutes ago? I kept walking, hoping to eventually reach the exit. And I did... after something that felt like walking around for an entire day. I saw the door that we were supposed to reach and I saw everypony except Twilight. I went up to the group where everypony stood. “I also got out! But where’s Twilight?” I asked Rarity turned around with tears in her eyes. “We don’t KNOW!!!” and she burst out in tears. She let herself fall, and before she hit the ground a couch appeared out of nowhere. “Twilight? Oh, you want Twilight?” I looked up and saw Mentis on his stool. I began to become angry... again. “Give her back you bastard!” I yelled at him. (I swear way too much) He got a manic grin again as he jumped off of the stool and landed on the floor. “You want Twilight back, do you? Well... What if she doesn’t want to go back?” “Wha’ did ya’ do to her!” Applejack yelled. “Oh, little old me? Nothing. I didn’t do anything to dear old Twi.” “And you expect us to believe that?! I would think that you were smarter!” I yelled at Mentis. “Well, I said I didn’t do anything to her. That means no type of magical persuasion was involved,” He grinned and pushed a lock of multicolored hair out of his face. “But, I can be charismatic if I want. Twilight just looked from my point of view, and saw the right side of things.” “Could you give me a brick please? I need something to throw at you!” Mentis had some type of cold glint in his eyes as he talked. “You know, Pim... You really don’t want me to get more involved into this than I already am. You won’t like it. You won’t like it one bit.” “Fuck!” I turned to the group. “We need to go everypony! He isn’t going to give her up!” “I won’t go without her!” Rainbow Dash almost yelled. “We have no choice! If we want to get out of here then we need to go now!” With that said, we all began running towards the exit. All except Rainbow Dash. “Come on! We need to leave!” I shouted at her. “No! I can save her!” she yelled at me, and then she flew off. “Come back!” I yelled at her, but she was already too far off to hear me. I ran back to the group. “Dashie left. She went out to find find Twilight. We can’t save her. Not with Nightmare Moon and Mentis out there.” Applejack stopped running. “We need ta’ wait for her. She might come back!” “She’s not coming back! Think! Mentis and Nightmare Moon have her! Unless you also wanna stay behind then I suggest you come with us.” I replied. She nodded shakily and continued running. We were near the exit, two giant golden doors. Bigger then anything I’ve ever seen in my entire life. “Hahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHA! Fine, leave me with dear Dashie, I know I’ll have some fun with her...” I opened the door and gestured everypony to go. Before I went through as the last guy out, I yelled, “We’ll be back! Don’t even try doing something to Twilight or Dashie!” I went outside and started looking for the carriage that was supposed to bring us back to Ponyville. I noticed that the sun was hanging at the horizon, not moving. Did they do something to Celestia? No, she can defend herself... I hope. “The carriage isn’t here!” Pinkie screamed, with the usual floating-in-the-air thingy. “Then we walk home.” I said with a voice like Leonidas’s. We walked through the city, the city’s usual chaos had been stopped by everypony staring up at the sky. We got out of the city with minimal fuss... Until Mentis decided to pop up again. All I heard first was his voice booming out across the city. “ATTENTION PONIES OF CANTERLOT: THIS CITY, ALONG WITH THE ENTIRETY OF EQUESTRIA, IS NOW UNDER QUEEN CHRYSALIS, CHANGELING MATRIARCH AND NOW RULER OF EQUESTRIA’S CONTROL. NOW... HAVE A NICE DAY. I GUESS IT’S GOING TO BE YOUR LAST... HEHEHEHE... HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Then all of the ponies panicked. Another chapter done! WOO! Next chapter might take a little longer. It has something special included that requires some more work! And I've set a goal for this story. To get it featured once before chapter 25! I'd appreciate if my lovely readers would help me with that! Anyways! Thanks for reading Pim out! *jumps out of imagination* Chapter 12: Welcome Shawn Everypony!A cold breeze flew by as we walked down the road, back to Ponyville. You could still hear the screams of panicking ponies in the background. The changelings attacked immediately after everypony started panicking and running around in search of a hiding place. Nopony said anything when we left Canterlot, but the silence was killing me! I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out, I didn’t know what to say. I began to think a bit instead, trying to think of everything that happened. Was it really a good idea to leave Twilight and Dash in Mentis’ hand- er, hooves? God, what have I done. Why didn’t I think of this?! Why do I always think about myself in the first place! I can’t leave them behind, I need to go back! I can save them if I’m stealthy enough! I stopped walking the next moment, my face looking at the ground. “Everypony, I need to go back. I’m having second thoughts about this.” I said as I stopped walking. Everypony turned around at looked at me with a puzzled look. “My dear, you said we needed to get out of there yourself, what’s wrong?” Rarity asked me. “It was wrong to leave Twilight and Dash in Mentis’ hooves! I’m going back, you guys go to Ponyville. I’ll bring them home safely.” I said as I turned around to walk back to Canterlot. But before I could take a step Applejack stepped in front of me. “Ya’ should do that, and you know it. You said it yerself. Mentis, Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis are out there! It’s suicide.” Applejack almost yelled. She looked angry... very angry. “Look, you’re all safe. I’ll be back with Dash and Twilight unharmed. Don’t worry.” I replied. Vinyl stepped forward and spoke. “If you do that then you’re gonna be captured, for sure!” I started to become a little bit angrier. “I’m the one who probably got all of this started! I don’t belong here! I’m going to put an end to this and rescue them!” This time Pinkie spoke. “You DO belong here now! We’re your friends!” I let out a audiable sigh. “Look, I need to put an end to this shitstorm! I need to go back no-” Rarity cut me off and spoke. “We can try and stop him in Ponyville.” I was surprised by the answer. “Wait what?” “We could try and stop him in Ponyville.” Rarity repeated. “But HOW?! It’s not like we can lure him out of Canterlot... wait a second. Can we?” I said. I turned around and yelled. “Come on everypony! We have planning to do! Let’s go!” Nightmare Moon was walking around in the lowly lit throne room. She was slowly pacing back and forth between the front and rear wall. She looked worried, even though the changelings in Canterlot are on her side. She needed to talk about her solution to her worries, and she knew who she could talk with. She decided to go have a talk with Chrysalis. She walked into Celestia’s newly-renovated chamber, now occupied by the Changeling Queen. “Chrysalis, I need your opinion on something.” Nightmare Moon said as she walked up to the Changeling Queen. “What is it? Can’t you decide anything on your own!? If you want to rule the night then you better decide on your own.” Chrysalis answered in a mocking tone. “Don’t you even start. You got defeated by two ponies in love! And you had a whole army!” Nightmare Moon replied. The balcony doors opened and a white alicorn with a flaming mane walked into the room. This alicorn used to be Celestia, but has been corrupted by the same powers of Nightmare Moon. Her hair flows about with a wild movement like it was made of actual fire. “What are you two yelling about?” Solar Flare said as she trotted to Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon. “Your dear sister can’t make decisions on her own.” Chrysalis anwsered, looking at Nightmare Moon. “She isn’t my sister anymore. We’re opposites, just like the sun and the moon.” Solar Flare replied. “One shall stand, and one shall fall, huh?” The three large ponies cringed where they stood, the standoffish atmosphere freezing almost at once. “Girls, girls, girls. What did I tell you all to do together?” There Mentis was, sitting on the landing into the room, his trademark manic smile plastered on his face. He stopped talking to observe the three ponies in the room to see if they would answer his question. They didn’t. “What I told you all to do was to play nice. I don’t think that this counts as playing nice, does it?” Mentis got up from where he was sitting and walked forward, his direction leading him into the closely knit group. “I am disappointed in you, girls,” He walked straight through the group, the scared trio backing off as he made his way over to the balcony. “Now... I want you all to make up. Solar Flare, Nightmare Moon, you two are sisters, and you will act as such. Chrysalis? I’m the one who let your dying family feed upon a whole city. Be grateful.” He got to the balcony and placed his hooves on the railing on it. “Well? I’m waiting, girls.” They sighed in unison. Nightmare Moon was the first to talk. “I’m... sorry for this argument.” she said in a hesitant voice. “I agree. Sorry Nightmare...er, Sister.” Solar Flare apologized. Chrysalis just nodded, thinking that would be enough to settle it. “Chysalis? I didn’t hear you apologize to Nightmare...” She sighed again. “Fine... Sorry for mocking you.” Chrysalis said, being a tat bit annoyed. “Good,” Mentis leaned forward on his front hooves. “Now, all of you, listen up. I’m going to be doing some things of my own, you know, PR shenanigans that need to be going down.” The three nodded, silently prompting him to continue speaking. “And I don’t want you three to either burn the house down while I’m gone, or leave it. You can do whatever you want as long as you’re still inside either the city or the castle. I’ll be back shortly!” Mentis brought up his rear hooves to the railing, springing off into the sky over the city. “Tah-tah for now!” The three looked at each other again. “So what did you want to ask?” Chrysalis asked Nightmare Moon. “This... thing Mentis calls a human is could cause some trouble. I have plan that’ll take care of it.” Nightmare Moon annouced. “Enlighten us with your ideas, oh wise moon-pony.” Solar Flare mocked. Nightmare Moon shot her ‘sister’ a mean look, then looked serious again. “Fight fire with fire.” “You know, I did that once, fought fire with more fire. The entire world was covered in fire within an hour. I didn’t think that would work so spectacularly. And for shame, Solar. For shame.” Solar Flare rolled her eyes and talked to Nightmare Moon again. “Could you be a little bit more... I don’t know, specific?” “Let another human go after him.” She replied. Chrysalis tisked under her breath. “And how are you planning on doing that?” “Easy! Just watch.” Nightmare Moon said as she turned around and walked to a more open part of the room. Her horn began to glow and a dark aura began to form in front of her. The room also began to become colder the more she focused. The aura slowly began to take shape of a bi-pedal creature. Slowly the aura began to fade away and revealed another human still on the ground. It was a teenage boy about the height of Solar Flare. He was wearing a black jacket that had angel wings imprinted on its back. He was also was wearing dark blue jeans. He didn’t move an inch. “Is that thing even alive?” Chrysalis asked with a bit mock in her voice. “Of course it is.” Nightmare Moon replied. With that the human began to clench his fists, who to shake slightly. He began to rise off the ground with a look of disgust and anger. She stared daggers at Nightmare Moon like she was a monster... wait. She is. The human pointed towards Nightmare Moon. “You.” Nightmare Moon looked confused. “Me?” The human locked his gaze at her. “You, had to do it again. Fucking AGAIN!” “What do you mean, foolish human?” She replied. you could hear that she was utterly confused. The human clenched his teeth together. “You took me from my family and friends not once but TWICE. When the hell did you get a body?!” “Oh, my dear friend Mentis took care of that.” She replied with some pride, knowing that she had a strong ally. Chrysalis turned around and poked her head in the corridor. She yelled something and a moment later a Changeling Praetorian came into the room, in the edge of the human’s sight. “Grab him.” Chrysalis said bluntly. The Praetorian walked up to the human to grab him by his arm. As the Praetorian lumbered towards the human, his hoof falls were extremely loud, alerting the human to it’s presence. The human, in one swift motion, reached to his right side, pulling out a medium sized object. He turned towards the Praetorian Changeling pointing the device at it. “One more step, I dare you.” The lumbering Praetorian guard simply burst into the air, wings buzzing like an insect’s. The buzzing was cut short by a loud explosion. The human had not moved from his spot, but the device he held had a steady stream of smoke coming from the barrel. The large figure slumped to the floor, a relatively large hole in it’s barrel of a chest showing strait through. Needless to say, the changeling was dead. In the silence that followed after, the ghost of a laugh seemed to resonate from the corners of the room. The human pointed his device towards the corners. “Who’s there?” Nightmare Moon was flabbergasted, her so-called servant had not only disrespected her, but also killed one of Chrysalis’s guards. “What are you, insane? You’re supposed to be my servant, not a stupid human who thinks oh so highly of himself like that other childish one!” “Andrew may be childish but still, I will not let you do to me what you did last time!” the human replied. “Andrew? I have learned of no Andrew. Mentis only spoke of Pim.” “Enough of your games, I am not going to let you harm them again!” the human said while raising his device, hoping they would buy the bluff, due to the device only being a one shot at a time weapon. “Foolish human, there is not only Nightmare here, but Chrysalis and Solar Flare! “Pardon me, but, who the fuck are you two?” the human replied sounding annoyed. All three of the supersized mares shared an eye roll as they picked him up with telekinesis. The Aura around the human flickered as he landed on the ground with a thud. “Let me ask that again, who the fuck are you two?” Solar Flare spoke up. “Think of us as... A nightmare.” They all focused a blast into a tiny bead of multicolored energy, impacting into the human’s chest and violently blasting him out of the balcony. The human, soaring through the air had time to think to himself. This reminds me of a cartoon I use to watch, what was it... Oh yeah... LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN. In response to that thought, those watching could see a star flicker over him. Meanwhile in Ponyville, a loud bang was heard coming from Canterlot. “What was that?” I said as I raised my head and looked around. “I don’t know, just ignore it.” Vinyl replied and continued plotting with Pim and the rest. I looked outside the window and saw a star flickering in the sky. What the fuck? It’s day, is that Nightmare bitch fucking around again? I kept looking outside in hope to see something else happening. On the last moment I saw something flying towards the Everfree Forest. “What the fuck?” I said, making everypony look at me. I turned to them and said. “I’m going out for a walk, I’ll be back in a while.” Everypony nodded and got back to scheming while I opened the door and walked outside. I made my way to the entrance of the Everfree Forest. I took a deep breath and ran into the grimy looking forest. I followed the natural path for a while before I heard another loud bang. “‘Ello? Anyone here?” I called out, hoping for a reaction or something jumping out of somewhere. I looked around, slightly creeped out. The trees looked like they had faces on them... ready to eat my face! “Hello?!” I called out again, again, hoping for an answer. In response a strained voice called out. “Over here!” I looked around and ran to the source of the voice. It came from behind a bush with a patch of blue flowers in front of it. I jumped over them and walked around the bush. There was a human lying there, against a tree. A HUMAN, A MALE HUMAN! Oh, he also had a bleeding leg... wait WHAT! I ran towards him and slided next to him. “I’m here to help! Euuuh, what’s your name? Tell me while I look for some branches!” I yelled while I was clearly panicking and not knowing what I was doing. The man looked up at me. “Pim? What the hell.” “Huh, you know me?” I asked and took a closer look at him. “OHMAHGOD! SHAWN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?” “I was about to ask the same damn thing...” he cringed in pain. “God damn it this hurts!” “Oh FUCK, Let me help you!” I said as I tried to pick Shawn up. He grunted as I picked him up. I walked around the bush and found myself in front of the same patch of flowers. “Flowers... We meet again...” I said as I shot a mysterious look at them. I lifted my foot above the flowers before Shawn yelled something. “Hold it! That’s fucking Poison Joke, you don’t want to step in that shit.” “Why not?” I replied as I put my left foot in it. “What’s wrong with it? It’s just a bunch of flowers.” “It does stuff to you, I’m meaning like I saw AJ shrink to the size of one of them. “How the fuck do you know Applejack?! And fuck the flowers.” I said as I continued walking into the poison joke. Shawn let go of me and walked around saying, “I’ve been in Equestria long enough. But when did you get here? Where’s Andrew?” “Andrew?” I said confused. Next thing you know, I trip into the poison joke. “Fuck!” I said as I quickly crawled up from the patch of poison joke. I rushed over to Shawn and pulled him along with me as we went rushing out of the forest. As I ran out of the forest, I tripped over a root. I threw Shawn away from me as I faceplanted into the fresh forest dirt. “I... can’t... move... a... single... fucking...muscle.” I said as I laid face-down in the dirt. Shawn sighed. “You come into the forest to help me, and now I have to help you out.” he said as he began to lift me up. “Th- ... thanks.” Pim said with a lot of effort. I noticed that Shawn had a satchel on his right side of his pants. “Why...why the fuck do you have a pocket hangin’ from your jeans?” He shook his head. “Nothing you need to worry about for now.” Pim nodded in response. “Let’s...go.” After all the energy drain Pim passed into a unconscious state. Shawn walked while carrying him through the forest. Upon reaching the edge of the forest, Shawn began to have his vision blur due to blood loss and passed out near the edge of Ponyville. “Eeeuuuhhh...My fucking head...” I said as I woke up. I looked around. I was back home, on my bed. “Eeeuh, what happened? I’m hungry, time for some breakfast... or whatever.” Pim said to himself as he walked towards the door and opened it. I walked down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. I heard some... wubs coming from somewhere. I tried to track to source of the noise and ended up in front of the dishwasher. It had something engraved on it. ‘Dubstep Dishwasher’ ...Mmmh, I bet Vinyl chose this one! I grabbed an apple and walked out of the kitchen...wait, someone was asleep on the couch. Wait... I met Shawn earlier in Everfree. I walked up to Shawn and check on him. His leg was bandaged and he looked like he was out cold. I slapped him across the face to make sure he was. Yup... he’s out! Let’s check him one more time! With that I walked outside and came back inside a second later with a stick in my hand. I walked up to the couch again and focused on Shawn. *poke* *poke* “ ‘Ello? Shaaaaawn?” I said as I went for another poke. He reacted by grabbing the stick mid air of the last poke and snapped it. “Don’t. Try. That. Again.” “Eeeuh, Mornin’ Sunshine! How are you feeling?” Pim asked, still suprised by the sudden move. Shawn opened his eyes and sat up. “Better now that I got rest after dragging you out of the Everfree.” “You did what?” I asked suprised. “You passed out so I carried you out of the forest to Ponyville, I guess somepony found us.” “What the fu- You know what, never mind. I need to check how the girls have been plotting.” I responded. “Anyways, how the fuck did you get here? And how do you know Applejack?!” He grunted. “Thanks to Nightmare Moon, she brought me to Canterlot. I’ve known AJ for awhile now, and the rest.” He stopped and started thinking. “Then again Nightmare Moon didn’t actually remember me... What’s up with that.” “Well, I don’t fuckin’ know. You said Nightmare Moon brought you here... How do you know her? Were you in Equestria before?” Pim asked still being surprised. The look of anger grew on his face. “She used me and my friend as a last resort plan to destroy or get rid of the princess but she did not have control over us... for the most part...” “Dafuq? Why didn’t they recognize you. Equestria is Equestria... right?” Pim answered. He seemed lost in thought. “What if there is more than one...” “HOLY WHALE BALLS! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!” Pim yelled. “Uhhh, yeah we’ll go with awesome... I just hope I can get back” “To?” Pim asked. “To my home. To those who know me. Not just a outcast somewhere else.” “Ya’ know... Let’s go for a walk. I need to have some fresh air.” Pim said as he walked to the door. Shawn began to slowly get up and follow. Pim held the door open for Shawn, he went outside and Pim followed him. We walked all the way to the town square. I wanted to know if Applejack would recognize him. We saw her cart and she waved. “Hi Applejack! How are ya’ doin’?” Pim asked her immediately. “I’m doin’ mighty fine, Ah see you and your friend are alright. Who is he anyways?” “Oh, that my friend, Shawn. He was my friend on Earth, but Nightmare Moon somehow got him in Equestria.” Pim anwsered. Shawn remained dead silent. He looked like he was thinking... Suddenly we heard laughter behind us. And not the Mentis type of maniacal cackling either. A/N: So this 'Shawn dude' is my friend and we decided to do a crossover... So everypony check out "Shawn820" mkay! He's a great guy! WHEEEW Chapter 13: Catching The Moon“You inferior little foals, you face Nightmare Moon, the bringer of eternal night! Run and hide, my little ponies,” You could almost taste the sheer amount of disdain and sarcasm in her voice with the last line. “Because I shall usher in a new and improved world alone, bringing eternal night upon all of you!” She dissolved into a mocking laugh at the end of her little soapbox moment. “Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME!” I yelled at Nightmare Moon. I pointed my finger towards the road to Canterlot and looked at her. “Get the fuck out, NOW! GTFO!” “You foolish foal of a human, you can’t even think about telling me what to do!” The sky began to cloud up with dark black thunder clouds. Shawn began to fumble with the small satchel on his side. “Shawn, what are you doing?” I asked, being a bit scared. “Even if this thing won’t stop Nightmare Moon it still can slow her down.” Shawn replied. “Nightmare... fuckin’...BITCH! No one will bow-” “DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT TO ME, INFERIOR SHAVED APE! I WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF PAIN!” “Hahaha, don’t make me laugh, looking at you already hur-” I was interrupted by Nightmare Moon lifting me up with her hair, bringing me close to her face. “That was the last straw, you shaved monkey. I’m going to make sure that nopony will be-” Nightmare Moon was interupted by a loud explosion. Both Nightmare Moon and I looked to see Shawn holding something up in the air with smoke from it. Wait, what is that... Hold on... No way, Its... A Flintlock. “SHAWN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A FUCKING GUN!” I yelled hystericly. “It’s better than that, it’s a god damn flintlock!” he replied Nightmare Moon dropped me because of the sudden surprise of the gunshot. I took this change to try to kick her in the head. I backed up a little back and jumped...I’M NOT TALL ENOUGH TO REACH HER FUCKING HEAD! Nightmare’s focus quickly switched from Shawn to me as a smile appeared on her face. However, her attention was still mostly focused on Shawn, seeing that he had the loud thing. “Pim, get to work on what you need to do!” Shawn says as he begins to sprint off. “GET BACK HERE!” Nightmare went tearing after Shawn “SOMEONE GET ME SOME DUCTAPE, FAST” I yelled. Suddenly Pinkie pushed a roll of ductape in my hand. “Here you go silly!” Pinkie said in my face. She was gone before I could even say. ‘Thanks’ I unstrapped a small part of the roll, ready to use. I began my chase for Nightmare... fuckin’... Moon with the roll in my hand. “COME HERE, YOU DEMON OF THE NIGHT!” “LETS GO BENNY HILL ON THIS BITCH!” A random voice resounded out into the town. And soon, we had a chase scene that was worthy of the music now miraculously playing into the town. I was chasing Nightmare, Nightmare was chasing Shawn, and Shawn was running like his ass was on fire. Shawn ran to Sugarcube Corner’s front door, opened it and disappeared. Nightmare Moon soon did the same thing but stood eye in eye with me. We stood in a small corridor in someponies house. “Eeuuh, Hi Nightmare.” I awkwardly said. “I don’t know how we got here, but I guess I’ll still be able to do what I was doing before all of this.” Nightmare took a few steps towards me. “NOPE!” I yelled, slapped her in her face and skedaddled the fuck out of that corridor. I opened a different door and smashed it behind me. I was somewhere dark, but I put my hand in front of myself. That opened the door and made me fall out of a cupboard. I observed the cupboard I fell out off... OHMAHGAWD! Wine, rum, vodka! How do these things get here! I grabbed a bottle of rum and ran to the first door I saw. I’ll drink this later... Meanwhile, at Zecora’s shed, Shawn opened the door. “How did I get here...” Back in Ponyville, Nightmare Moon was still running around. She felt suddenly something heavy on her back. She turned her head to see what it was. “‘Ello poppet!” Pim was sitting on her back, like she was a riding horse. He sounded a lot like a certain glass-eyed pirate. “WHA-” Nightmare Moon couldn’t even finish the word before taking a bottle of rum to the head. She sunk down to the floor and Pim got off of her. “Such a waste of booze...” Pim said and let out a little sniff. “Aight! Ductape time!” Nightmare Moon slowly woke up. She tried step out of her bed like she normally does, but this time she wasn’t able to move. She looked around, she was in a pitch black room. She tried to move again, again, getting no results. She tried to look at her body and saw what caused it. She was completely duct-taped to a chair. She heard a door open, and some footfalls told her that some people just walked in. It remained silent for several minutes until Shawn started talking. “So, what are you doing down here in Ponyville, Mrs. High and Mighty ruler, hmm?” “What do you think, human? I was doing what a ruler does when she takes control. I was talking to my subjects.” “Talking with your subjects, or starting trouble with them if they didn’t follow orders?” “Naturally while in a state of power, the one in charge has to... Make certain decisions on how to deal with their belligerents.” Shawn slams his hands onto a table, “What is your deal Nightmare Moon!” Nightmare laughed. Once. Then she laughed twice. She finally melted down into peals of maniacal laughter. This laughter was strangely familiar... Shawn pulled out his flintlock, fully loaded, and pointed it at Nightmare Moon. “Answer the question or I will give you something to laugh about after all you’ve done!” The laughter began to increase in intensity. Nightmare’s eyes shrunk down to complete pinpricks. Shawn clenched his teeth, “Answer the FUCKING question!” Nightmare was completely gone, laughing so hard that it looked like she should have ran out of air. Shawn took aim, and pulled the trigger, embedding a shot in the wall right next to Nightmare Moon. “Next shot, I will not miss.” Nightmare continued to laugh. Her hair seemed to become more... physical and vibrant, and she seemed to shrink, if only just. Shawn seemed to have noticed that... He dropped the flintlock into his sachel, “Games over, show your true damn form, I give up with this nonsense.” “HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well... IF YOU INSIST!” Nightmare completely dissolved away, a red lightning field pushing out, revealing a certain insane red earth pony. “Hello, name’s Mentis. HOW DO YA DO?” Shawn facepalmed. “I’ve delt with a friend of mine long enough to know how to deal with this.” he then turned around and walked to the wall, “Pim! Get the fuck out of the corner. Do something for a change.” I came out of the darkness with a big yellow book in my hands. “‘Ello Mentis, you nasty fuck.” Mentis’s eyes lit up with the pleasure of meeting an old friend. “Oh, hello Pim! Now, seeing that I’m going to play along with this little dream of actually restraining me with ducttape,” He somehow unlooped his front hoof to brush a strand of hair out of his face, then returned it to the loop. “I’m going to ask what you’re going to do to me with that phone book.” “Shawn, come back here for a sec!” I called out. He walked over to me. “What do you need Pim?” “I know how to make him talk! All you need to know is that you need to be the nice and good guy.” I whispered to Shawn. After that I walked over to Mentis. “TALK DAMNIT!” I yelled as I brought down the phone book upon his head. Mentis’s head didn’t even flinch. “Well, that’s the question, isn’t it. What do you want me to talk about? You’ve never really asked me anything. That, and you’re a horrible interrogator.” Shawn Smacked the back of my head, “You ask first then you work the answers out!” “Just what are you?!” I asked. Mentis’s psychotic smile didn’t waver as he spoke his ultimatum. “Hit me again, and I’ll show you just what I am. I’ve already told you what I am before. Simply think, you complete idiot.” Pim thought for a while. “Ah! The Traveler of Insanity! Now explain!” I yelled as I raised the phone book above my head. Mentis’s eye shrunk down to manic pinpricks as he looked at the book. “Hehehehe... What is it, the Traveler that picks the road, or the road that picks it’s Traveler, huh?” Shawn facepalmed behind me. “I WANT ANWSERS! NOT RIDDLES!” I yelled once more as I smacked Mentis in the back of the head. Mentis’s eyes suddenly went bloodshot. “Hehehehehehehe... Hit me again. I dare you.” I brought up the book, ready to smack Mentis with it again. Shawn removed the book from my hands, “Hold it, he is trying to get you to hit him. Careful what you do.” he said while squinting. Mentis closed his eyes and began humming under his breath. After a few seconds, his eyes snapped open suddenly, completely back to normal size. “Now... what do you want to know?” Shawn stepped forward, “Since I am not from around here, as you most likely know... Who exactly are you?” Mentis smiled as he spread his front hooves out in a magnificent pose. “Well, I’m Mentis, Traveler of Insanity, and chaotic evildoer extraordinaire! You get a free addition of never-popping bubbles if you hire me for a party.” Shawn thought to himself, Pinkie would love this guy... “Now that we got that over with, what are you doing down here in Ponyville?” Mentis slipped his hooves back into the wrappings. “Well, the question would be why wouldn’t I be down here in good ‘ol ponytown central.” Shawn facepalmed for a third time, “Just answer me one last thing then Pim’s going to try asking his.” He sighed. “What are you doing down here...” He seemed to have the tone of somebody worn out. “What am I doing where? That last question seems awfully like the previous one...” Mentis trailed off, crossing his rear legs over each other. “I meant more along the lines of away from that castle and your damn minions.” “Ah, you mean the girls? Well, I just felt like taking a walk. That walk just lead me to Ponyville and ol’ Nightie would probably appreciate me extending her sway.” Shawn sighed, “I give up, Pim, don’t do something too stupid. I don’t want to have to deal with what problems Mentis will cause you.” he said as he walked out of the room tired. “Don’t worry, just hand me the phone book and everything will be alright.” I said with a convinced voice. I turned to Mentis and began interrogating again. “Now... What did you do with Dashie and Twilight?!” I yelled in his face. Mentis shrugged. “Aw, little old me? I didn’t do anything to them. I just talked to them and showed them that I could make them much better than they ever could think.” I walked out of the room and walked back in. I had a bottle with a gold-ish drink in it. I took a big swig of it and walked up to Mentis. “What about Celestia? What did you do to her?” Mentis shrugged again. “You’d have to ask the girls!” I sighed. “You’re no fucking use. Where’s Discord hiding his ass?” Mentis laughed. “Discord? Hehehehehe... Discord...” I punched Mentis in his face. “START TALKING!” I took another swig of the bottle. Mentis just kept on laughing. “Did you like cracking your knuckles on my face? I’m stronger than I look.” I put my face close to Mentis’. “I. Don’t. Give. A. Fuck... Start talking.” I started chugging half the bottle. “Do you really think that you are intimidating me. Really? Because it’s more funny than anything else. Like, like some kind of really bad joke!” Mentis touched his forehead against mine, as if he was challenging me. “I’m done with you.” I said as I backed up. “Oh, really now? Are we backing away now that momma’s perfect little boy isn’t feeling his oats against a madpony? Too bad, soo sad!” I chugged down the rest of the bottle that I was holding and looked at the now empty bottle. I swung it at Mentis’ head. As it hit his head the bottle shattered into hundereds of pieces. I walked out of the room. Mentis’s eyes immediately shrunk to tiny pinpricks. “You know you two... That wasn’t a good idea. I’ve already shown that I can get out. I will get out. I AM getting out.” He waited a bit before adding. “Of course, once I get out, I know what I’m going to do. I’m going to flatten everything.” Shawn walked back into the room, “Odd, I expected him to do about nothing considering what you might be able to do. Hell, you just undid the straps just to do a gesture with it.” He placed a hand on his forehead. “Well, he didn’t. You feel like taking a swing at it before I wreak judgement day on this little slice of peaceful heaven?” “Sorry, but I know your more powerful then you let on, and I’m not a dumbass. Are you really going to try and level this place or are you just going to get out and get Pim? Either way I have to try and stop you.” “Oh, I’m really going to flatten the place. I don’t even care if I don’t kill Pim while I do it, he’s just pissed me off now. As for you... You’re different... Hm.” Mentis cocked his head to the side and smiled competitively at Shawn. Shawn squinted his eyes. “I don’t know what you got planned but” He holds the flintlock up. “I gotta try.” Mentis’s eyes squinted hard at him. “Oh-hoho... I think I like you. I really do. I might not even make you into a pile of cosmic dust because of this!” Then, he vanished. Nothing but a little whisp of red smoke settling down into the chair. Shawn dropped his arm, looked down and closed his eyes, “So this is it huh...” “Is it? Or is it just the beginning of the show?” Shawn shook his head, “More like the beginning of the end.” “Go on... GO ON! Find your way for fighting me! I want to see you try, young one.” Shawn opened his eyes and looked up, “Even now, I still am not giving up Mentis... Lets see what you got.” He said with a grin while lifting up his flintlock. “Hehehehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LET THE SHOW BEGIN!” Shawn bolted out of the room in search of Pim. ‘Got to find him fast...’ Suddenly Shawn heard some loud snoring. He looked over to the couch to find me taking a nap. He walked over to the couch and kicked it causing me to fall off. “Ouch. Fuck.” I said as I stood up. “Why do you need to wake me up like that?” “Two damn reasons. One you ignored me and now your wanted fucking dead. Two because you ignored me your about to get this place fucking FLATTENED.” Shawn responded frustrated. “What... Why are you suddenly so... tall?” I replied, totally not paying attention. Shawn picked me up by my shoulders, “Your drunk off your ass aren't you...” He sighed, “Yeah you are...” “Naah, I’m... PERFECTLY FINE!” I yelled in response. Suddenly, there was a few electrical piano chords played. “The fuck is this?” I said to Shawn, and looked around. I started walking to the source of the noise, it was coming from behind a door. The door opened to a mostly foggy room with Mentis standing at the far corner, right next to a door. He began to sing, various musical instruments backing him up. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, We're so glad you could attend Come inside! Come inside! Mentis reared up and ushered us into the door, it opening to almost complete blackness. For some reason, we felt like actually entering... He kept on singing, but the minuet we stepped inside of his ‘show’, he completely vanished. There behind a glass is a real blade of grass be careful as you pass. Move along! Move along! There really was a pedistal, and behind it’s large glass box, there was one singular blade of glass. It was so mesmerizing. Come inside, the show's about to start guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest assured you'll get your money's worth The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth. Mentis suddenly butted in, grabbing me by the shoulders and captivating my entire sight as he continued to sing. You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo. You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll Right before your eyes, we pull laughter from the skies And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies. Come inside the show's about to start, guaranteed to blow your head apart! You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll... Suddenly, Mentis stopped singing and the background music picked up in a solo. He began to dance and do acrobatic stunts midair as he let the music completely flow through him and into the place we went into, the black flashing with random colors, mist rising up everywhere and obscuring my vision as I hear an explosion go off at a random time right as Mentis jumped and disappeared again. After that, I heard “SIT. STILL!” erupt from the mists. As the instruments picked up yet again, I heard Mentis sing, gesturing towards a stage where a guillotine was situated. Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline Will perform on guillotine What a scene! What a scene! Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand to Alexander's Ragtime Band Dixieland, Dixieland! He showed up again, clapping at a bunch of jazz instruments were lying to a pile. Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! See the show! Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool Seven virgins and a mule Keep it cool. Keep it cool. Mentis slid up to me and wrapped an arm around me as he sang out the next line after passing another stage with a perplexed looking mule and a pot of petunias were sitting. We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown were exclusively our own, All our own. All our own. Mentis took me by the arms with his hooves and danced me off into the darkness of the room. I didn’t really try to fight back. Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Soon, I was left by myself to dance and do my own tricks as the instruments started up again. near the end, when Mentis started to sing, I felt a funny feeling of falling... See the show! Suddenly there was a bright wink of light and I wound up in the fountain right in the middle of town, with one little ticket stub titled, THE SHOW: ADMIT ONE. Right as Shawn took the shot, moth Mentis and Pim disappeared from view, the music becoming faint the longer he stood there, as if it were going away. Then, Shawn finally realized where he was. Moreso, where he wasn’t. It was some type of strange limbo where right meant left and foreward meant up. “Hmm, if this is hell, I expected more.” “You really expect me to be the gatekeeper of hell? That place is way too stuffy for my tastes, so, sorry to disappoint you.” Shawn facepalmed, “I meant more along the lines of I’m dead aren’t I Mentis?” “No, not really. I just needed a... distraction.” Shawn raised a brow. “What do you mean distraction?” “Well my friend, let’s call it a science experiment. I take you away for a few hours, and we see what your friends do, hmm? Cmon, it’ll be like the Price is Right!” Shawn shook his head, “You know, I figure my friends are looking for me right now, not this world, but my home. I don’t belong here, that I’m sure of.” “Well... That’s the fun about being a Traveler. We get to go around to any type of universe that we want to, any time, any place, anyhow. So, how about I just trace you back to your universe and see what your friends are up to, huh?” “I’m positive they are trying to find me. I’ve known them long enough to know they would be.” “Well, that’s for you to speculate and us to find out, huh? So what say you, stay in here for the rest of the time I gotta be boring or we go and see your friends?” “It would be nice to see them again, even if they are possibly worried about where I disappeared to...” Mentis teleported right next to Shawn and hopped onto his shoulders. Right before he could do anything in response, Mentis shot off to the universe he was aiming for. Mentis showed up in a ghetto El Camino, and Shawn was in the truck bed of the car hybrid. Mentis shouted from the driver’s seat. “Sorry about that, it’s just how I travel between worlds. Usually involves some type of car.” Mentis jumped out of the El Camino and brought down the back panel, allowing Shawn to get out of the truck bed easily. Then he went back to the front and fished around in the glovebox, procuring a bag of Twinkies. Cantering lazily back to the truck bed, he hopped up onto it and ripped open the bag with his teeth, offering one of the two to Shawn. “This some kind of fat joke against me? Cause I’ll take it” he said while smiling. “Just take the damn Twinkie when the crazy pony gives it to you.” Shawn shrugged, “Alright, Haven’t ate in ages now so I’m up for it.” Mentis shoved the whole thing into his mouth and consumed it in two bites, and just floated off into the sky like gravity had no pull on him, presumably waiting for Shawn to finish his. Shawn finished his off. “So, where to now?” Mentis continued floating as he flashed a smile. “Well, that depends. Who do you want to go see first? Oh, and a little obligatory rule for now, no interaction. You can’t go and talk to them in any form, might cause a time paradox. And those things are one hell of a mess to clean up.” Shawn just shrugged in response. “As said, I know they are figuring out something right now.” “My first question still stands. Where to first?” “Lets see what they figured out to bring me back.” Mentis smiled. “Ponyville it is, then.” Appearing right next to Shawn, he placed a hoof on his pantleg and teleported, yet again. They found themselves on the outskirts of the town. Mentis just trotted off into Ponyville, while Shawn was looking like he just spun in circles for 5 minutes strait. “You know, no matter how many times I get teleported, that still messes me up...” He shook his head and stood upright. “Come on, you’re invisible. Lets go.” Shawn followed behind Mentis, “Hey! Over there. It’s Andrew. He seems happy, so they must have found my way back!” Mentis said nothing as his smile seemed to grow larger. Shawn walked further towards Andrew, “I wonder what scheme they made to bring me back...” Mentis trotted along behind Shawn. “Well, the only answer is to investigate, no?” “Lets go then.” He said while walking up to Andrew and Twilight listening in on their plan. “Hey Twilight! How’s everything?” “Oh just fine Andrew. How is your day going?” Shawn raised his eyebrow, “Nothing? I figured they would be panicking over someone just vanishing... They seem just fine...” He continued to listen to the point in which they just went their seperate ways. Shawn stared forward looking at nothing. “They, they act as though its no big deal. Even Andrew just went about his merry day.” “Well Shawn, perhaps they just... I don’t know, forgot?” “You can’t just forget someone who usually has to force you up in the morning. Specifically Andrew, I have to drag him out of bed most of the time... They just act like, they don’t even care.” He said as his shoulders dropped. “I would say. I don’t even treat my enemies like this. Just utter lack of care. But mabe it’s because of someone else doing most of the running about. Would you like to see a few more?” “Yeah, perhaps it was just unmentioned in that conversation...” Mentis put his hoof on Shawn again, and teleported. “Still never going to get used to that...” Mentis dropped his hoof. “Oh, lookit that, Andrew’s talking to RD! She’ll probably talk about you, right? She is the element of loyalty, isn’t she?” “Yeah, she would mention me being loyal as a friend.” Shawn seemed to perk up a bit but still had a doubtful look on his face. And it was the same. Paltry greetings. Things that happened today, goodbyes. Shawn just seemed broken at that point. “Nothing... Not even a damn word...” He said under his breath. “No, not one. Quite frankly, I’m disappointed in these friends of yours. You really think that they care for you when you don’t get mentioned once during two day-to-day conversations, one with the element of loyalty, no doubt?” Shawn clenched his fist, “Not a care in the damn world. They just left me as though I was just a random damn piece of paper on the street.” “I wouldn’t even think that. It looks like they were probably saying things behind your back. Why do you think Andrew looks so happy? They’re glad you’re gone.” Shawn began to shake a bit. “Those god damn Traitors. They don’t even give a damn!” “You know... if you were my friend, I would never do that. Hell, I was doing ten times better as your enemy. You should really just flip these bastards off and come along with me... Y’know?” As Shawn was shaking slowly, it seemed that his color began to fade. “Lets get out of here. I don’t feel like dealing with these fucking traitors anymore...” “Alright Shawn. Come along with me, I know of a few people you might like to know...” Mentis reared up and put his arm around Shawn’s shoulder’s in a friendly fashion. After they Traveled back to the original universe, the evil grin gracing Mentis’s face had enough power behind it to crack open worlds. Chapter 14: A Psycho's Rage“Come now Shawn, I know a close knit of friends that you can find yourself in. We all care for each other, and I’m sure you’ll find yourself happy with us.” Mentis was up on his hind legs, walking along with Shawn, using an arm wrapped around his shoulders for balance. “Better than with those who would use me.” “Alright then, Shawn. Let’s go and do the Meet ’n’ Greet.” Teleporting, Mentis brought them to the throne room of the palace. “Girls? Girls. Come out here and meet our newest friend, Shawn! Now, come on now Girls, don’t be shy!” Slowly, five ponies filed in. The dark Nightmare Moon, the fiery Solar Flare, the Changeling Queen Chrysalis, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash. At the last two, Shawn clenched his fists together and ground his teeth. Mentis looked from them to Shawn constantly. “Ooooh, right. You don’t like them, don’t you!” “Those lousy fuckers...” Mentis floated up to Shawn’s face, blocking his vision. “Now Shawn, these aren’t the ponies that you think they are. For one, we’re in a completely different place that has a completely different Twilight and Rainbow Dash. That, and they’re our friends now. Any friend of Mentis should be a good enough friend for you, eh?” Shawn released his fists but he seemed to still have a dark look on him. “I bet they would still betray the rest like they did me.” Mentis just tisked under his breath. “Now Shawn, I know you have your doubts, but to completely show that they are completely loyal...” Mentis turned to RD and Twi. “Both of you, starting with Twilight, tell me why you’re still here.” Twilight stepped foreward, a confident smirk plastered on her face, along with the darkening of her coat from when she first entered the castle. She placed a hoof on her chest as she recited, “My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am here because I have placed my full fealty to my two teachers of the Cosmic arts, Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare. I would never think of either betraying my two dear teachers, and their allies.” Rainbow stepped up after Twilight was done with her own spiel. “My name is Rainbow Dash, and I am the coolest captain of the Canterlot Psyches. I’m the strongest, fastest, and most loyal of the entirety of Mentis’s private air force! Nothing would stop me from following Mentis’s orders, and nothing would make me desert him or abandon Canterlot!” “Feh.” Shawn loosened his look of anger and turned towards the rest. Chrysals took a step foreward. “But Mentis, this is the same human who-” Mentis lifted a hoof to stop her. “Yes, yes, yes, Chrysalis. Taking this time to reflect...” Mentis gestured at Shawn. “Do you see anything that makes him seem different?” Upon looking at Shawn, there was a notable change. He had no form of color, none in the slightest. Mentis poofed on a pair of librarian glasses and a professor jacket with those patches on the elbows that all those smart professors seem to wear all the time. “Now Chrysalis, and the rest of you three girls, take a note. Look at Shawn, not look back to a day ago. As you can see, he’s completely colorless. That means that he’s discorded, completely thrown into chaos. Now, this seems to be a conduit for rage, and about fifteen metric shittonnes of it. I also have him as a friend, so that means that he won’t turn that rage on me, or you as my friends. However, if you dessert...” A loud crunching sound was heard as Shawn cracked his knuckles. “As you could see, you would be turned to something far less desirable than even cosmic dust.” Chrysalis got back on top of her high horse after the brief humbling talk from Mentis, and said, “He couldn’t possibly kill another one of my Praetorian.” Mentis looked straight at Chrysalis with an ‘are you shitting me’ look. She pawed the ground a bit and added to her previous statement. “Well... without his weapon, that is.” Shawn removed his satchel and threw it on the ground. He cracked his knuckles and grunted out, “Bring it.” With an unspoken command, a Praetorian appeared out of nowhere and rushed at Shawn. Shawn stumbled on his satchel because it was right under his foot, and backhanded the guard, snapping it’s neck easily. Mentis picked up the now dead husk with one hoof. “Right. Now, any more questions with you girls?” I felt tapping on my shoulder... I also felt soaked, really soaked. “Eeeeuuuuuuh, what’s goin’ on?” I said very slowly, due to the fact that I just woke up. I opened my eyes to a clear sky... and a terrible headache. I stared at the sky for a few moments before looking around me, trying to observe where I was... I was, wait is this a dream? This isn’t right or normal! WHY THE HELL AM I LYING IN A FOUNTAIN??? After trying to get out of the fountain, to just trip and fall back in, I saw the pony that woke me up. Octavia was looking at me with a look of disgust and anger. ”Just what are you doing in that fountain?!” She yelled. I slowly covered my ears to prevent some sound that was destroying my eardrums. After she was done with all the screaming I looked back at her. “Calm down, I’ve got a terrible headache.” I said slowly, almost sounding drugged. Then Vinyl came into sight, stopping next to her friend Octy. “I think he has a hangover, I know the way he acts too well.” Octy was almost staring daggers at me while Vinyl was acting very normal, like it was a daily thing for her. Vinyl trotted towards me. “Hey, what’s this?” She was looking at a ticket sticking on my arm withot me noticing it. “It says... The Show: Admit One. What is this?” She asked me and I shrugged. “Let’s get you home, you look like you had a terrible day.” Vinyl and me sat on the couch, each of us drinking from our own mug... filled with lovely chocolate milk. We shared a blanket and were listening to some music. I gave Vinyl my iPod and asked her to go into my ‘Liquid’ playlist. She tried but...yeah, hooves, so I did it myself in the end. My hangover was still present, slowly going away. I tried to remember why I woke up in a fountain, the usually only happens to me when I’m on a roleplay server in Minecraft! I barely remember, what was it.... a song... and Mentis! Wait a second... “WHERE THE FUCK IS SHAWN!?” Mentis and the rest of the group were all standing around the dinner table, with Mentis reared up and staring at a map. Unfortunately, that map was for another universe. After a good amount of time peering and pondering about the map, Mentis spoke up. “Alright, I can honestly say I have no idea with what I’m doing.” There was a generous round of smacks as hands and hooves met foreheads. “Well, I got a plan, my friends. Chrysalis, scramble your changelings. All. Of them.” Chrysalis stared at Mentis. “Are you sure? I can use the same-” Mentis butted in. “I said all. Not a quarter like you used. All of them. I want the sun to be blotted out of the sky.” Chrysalis took a step forward, defiance in her eyes. Mentis looked straight at her. “Remember what happened when you didn’t overkill? You had to take your sorry flanks over to me before you could even capture this damn city.” Chrysalis stopped and her face lightened a little bit as the blood rushed to it. Mentis reared off of the table and trotted briskly out of the double doors that lead to the throne room. “Tell them to head off for Ponyville. We’ve got a town to antagonize.” Pacing back and forth I asked, “So, Shawn’s gone, just gone?” Vinyl just nodded back in response, I continued pacing Where, where, where, WHERE the fuck would he be... Until Vinyl turned off the lights. “Why did you turn off the lights?” I turned to face her only to see here pointing a hoof outside, wait, the window is open, and its the middle of the fucking day... Racing over to the window I saw what I least expected. Changelings. And boy there was a lot. The entire sky had been replaced with changelings. “Fuck.” I opened the door and went outside. “WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!” I could barely see anything, but a few rays of sunlight shone through an enormous swarm of... giant insects? “Vinyl! Come here, what the fuck is this shit?!” Vinyl slowly walked outside, asking herself what was going on. Then she also saw it. She opened her mouth but no words came out, she was speechless. “We need to go back inside Vinyl!” So we did, and then barricaded everything. Every door, every window, all possible entries. “What are those?!” I asked as soon we were done with barricading. “I have no idea... Wait, where is Octavia?” “She went over to Rarity this morning. Oh dear Celestia, let’s hope she’s safe...” I sat down next to Vinyl, pulling her in for a hug. “Don’t worry, I’ll be alright...” Mentis chuckled as he trotted down the deserted streets of Ponyville, his plan was working perfectly! Insanity happened, it allowed him to make the most dramatic entrance to his conquest, and he was able to scramble the air units. All of them. Trotting down an alleyway, he made a few seemingly random twists and turns to show up right outside of his final destination, a certain house that has a very familiar human in it... Sneaking up to one of the boarded up windows, he cocked an ear to the inside, listening into them talking about Octavia not showing up yet. It gave Mentis an idea. A terrible, wonderful idea. Focusing on himself, he let his form change to that of the grey musician, and he cleared his throat a bit to make sure his voice changed over. It was showtime. Suddenly we heard banging on the door. “Let me in! Fast! Those things are going to get me!” The banging got louder with each second that passed. I jumped up and ran towards the door. “Vinyl! Help me open the door!” I started moving some furniture that we placed out of the way. Vinyl helped me do that by using her magic. I opened the door and saw Octavia. I pulled her inside and closed the door. I moved the furniture back in place and sat down to catch my breath. “Dear Celestia, I thought I was done for. I was making my way back here from Rarity’s when those... Wretches showed up out of nowhere!” “I’m glad you’re alright, Octy” Vinyl walked up to her to give her a hug. “Is Rarity safe?” I asked “More than fine, she was able to board up her house really quickly.” “Good, any news on the others?” Octavia shook her head. “No, I didn’t have the time to check up on anypony else.” “Well, I hope they’re alright...” I said as I walked over to Vinyl for another hug. “I need to get some distraction for a while...” I walked over to my keyboard and started smashing random keys. Somehow this calmed me, so I kept doing it, but I became bored after about twenty minutes of random key smashing. “You know, they all might be in trouble... We should go out and check on them all, you know?” “You sure? It’s pretty dangerous alone, no?” “That’s why we should all go, just to make sure that everypony is safe.” I hesitated for a moment but nodded after a while. “Okay then, let’s go.” Octavia led us through winding alleyways, simply telling us it was to throw off the changelings. “Are you sure they can’t find us here?” Vinyl asked, looking into the sky as she watched the occupying changelings fly overhead. “More than sure, Vinyl...” Octavia trailed off as she took a seemingly random turn down another alleyway. “I don’t remember that there were this much alleyways in Ponyville...” “Well, there’s always something to learn every day, isn’t there?” She trailed off as she broke into a clearing... straight into that changeling queen, Nightmare Moon, and whatever happened to Celestia. I started walking back, slowly, step per step. “Octavia? I thought they fixed you?” “Hehehehe, I was never really Octavia, Pimmy-boy!” A bright crackle of red lightning, and there Mentis was, smiling like a maniac. “You fucker...” I said as I kept backing up. Then, I bumped into something... I turned around and immediately began backing up again. Shawn stood there, looking into my soul. It looked like all the color faded away from him. His eyes... looked like two black voids. “You.... FUCKER.” Chapter 1: The Crack In Reality6AM, Alarm clock goes off. I wake up with a blurry vision and turn to my right. "Eeuuuuhh…" I look at my phone, the screen is lit up and playing a self-made Drum & Bass loop to wake me up. I mumble "Euuuh, No i'll lie down for 15 more minutes, that can't hurt…" I try to get some rest without sleeping (don't ask how) but fall asleep after 2 minutes. Luck enough I have a backup alarm to wake me up incase this happens. I hear the same loop and roll out of my bed and fall on the floor. "Aaaww, I wanna sleeeeep" I take a look at the time, 6: 17AM. I go to the bathroom and take a shower for 10 minutes. I grab myself a towel and dry my hair. I go back to my room and look at the time again. 6:34AM. I grab the jeans that I hung over my chair yesterday night and put it on, then I grab a T-Shirt from my drawer, put it on and head downstairs for breakfast. After I eat a few sandwiches I grab my books, pet my dog and head outside to go to the busstop. On my way to the bus stop I walk past the neighbours house to find their dog barking at me. I give the dog a dead stare and walk further. After about 10 minutes of walking I arrive at the busstop and talk to my friends. Me: "Hello guys" gives a hand to everyone Friend 1 (Sean, also my best friend): "Hey dude, how's it going ?" Me: "I'm good" and nod a little bit Friend 2 (Jarrod, a pretty good friend that lives nearby): "Yesterday night, Skype, That was hilarious with that Brazilian guy right ?!" Me: "It sure was!" and laugh Sean: "So what games did you play yesterday ?" Me: "I don't always play games you know" and i give him a blank stare Sean: sighs "Dudeeee….." and gives me a dead stare Me: "Let stop talking for a minute because bus is nearly here and I wanna have some seats!" (Yes I know this conversation is boring but this is as realistic as it can get, ITS THAT BORING IRL!) The bus arrives at the busstop so me and my friends continue our talk inside. After about talking for 30 minutes we arrive at school, when I left at home the sky was clear, now its raining and there's dark clouds coming towards the school domain, looks like its going to a rainy day. Then the youth prison called "school" starts and we head inside. A whole schooldays full of being laughed at, getting bad grades, not paying attention. Nothing unusual but still unmotivating. After another bus ride home I throw my bag against the wall and sigh. I go to my laptop and turn on Skype and some games. After talking and gaming for about 2 hours I get a call from my mother that she's out of town for 2 days…looks like I'm home alone again. That cheers me up a little bit because I could stay up later then I normally could and Skype with some friends from across the world and record some gameplay for my YouTube channel. When i'm not recording, gaming or Skyping I produce music and DJ for fun. My good friends knew I could make it as a professional producer or DJ when I become adult, other laugh in my face when I say that. I could only count on friends for cheering me up because my parents aren't so different. After an evening of gaming and such I grow tired and head upstairs to go to bed. Sometime I don't even bother brushing my teeth because I'm so exhausted. This is my boring unsuccessful life. Hoping that my dreams would become reality I listen to the same song over and over again until I fall asleep (This is the track I'm talking about), knowing that I will probably never get the chance to make my dreams reality I give up everything people say that's important to get a job and make a living and such. Next day I get up still very tired and sleepy to do the same routine again. Get up, shower, get dressed, eat and leave for school. Same kind of conversation at the busstop again. Same conversation have the same talk IN the bus again. Once more its raining when we arrive at school. But this time the day is going to be a little different. After having 2 hours of chemistry we head out for math. After class started I tried my best to keep up with the teacher but yesterday evening ended a little too late. After trying to stay awake for about 50 minutes my mind gives up and I slowly fall asleep. As I fall asleep I slowly hear the teacher's voice fade away but hear a different voice mumbling something from far away. When I was finally asleep I started dreaming about me doing what I like to do. The voice also starts to fade away… and I start dreaming about music, music and more music. That's all I ever dreamt about, but somehow this was different. It had something special, something new….it had a spark to it…. Suddenly I wake up, Class is still going but I feel the floor collapsing beneath me. I look under my chair and I see cracks in the floor. The next thing I know, I'm falling in a black hole, falling. Everywhere I looked was just a black void…Then a blinding light approaches me and starts whispering. "Come with me, touch me and I will guide you to a better place..." All I could think of was "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!" Then the light started whispering again, repeating the same thing it said before. After a while I gave in. "Ok, but there's one more thing to do" Slowly I slow down and all of the sudden I'm back on my chair in class. I grab the biggest book that I have and grab a big pen. I simply wrote "DERP" on it and threw it at the teacher. Everyone in class quickly looked at me but before any of them could react or even laugh, they saw me falling through the floor again screaming "TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!" After falling for another minute the light approaches me again and asks me "Are you ready ?" I nod and touch the light. It starts shining brighter and brighter and brighter, blinding me! Suddenly I wake up and I see a old ruin… "Eeeuuuuuhhhhh…." After realizing that I'm in a completely unknown place I start saying "W- w-w- Wh- Wha- Whaaaaaat ? Light-y thingy where are you ?!" Suddenly I see 6 things walking in the distance. I couldn't really see clearly because my vision was a bit blurry. I rub my eyes and take a better look, and they appear to be heavily colored. Following my instinct I get up as quickly as I can and run over to them. Coming closer and closer I see that these "creatures" are small horses…or ponies… Then I stand still and take a closer look, 5 of them we're wearing amulets and 1 was wearing a crown of some sort. Without realizing it I yell. "WHAT THE FU-" Suddenly a pony turns around, it was a blue pony with a rainbow mane. She looked at me and said something to the other ponies, then all turned around and looked at me. I startled saying "Oh Shi-" Suddenly the one with the rainbow mane dashed at me (see what i did there :3 ) right in my face which startled me and made me trip over a tiny rock . I was lying on the ground and there is a blue pony with a rainbow mane above me yelling something at me. Only after a few seconds I could comprend what it was yelling at me. "What are you!" 'Ello everypony! So this the first chapter of mah story. You might like it, you can hate it, can think it was a little bit meh or cliché...Just get to chapter 9 and stuff gets interesting. Enjoyable actually. If you plan on following this story, make sure to fav or watch me since I post a shitton of blog with some funny stuff, tips, hints, story stuff, etc. Anyways, thanks for reading! The Madgod himself, Pim Chapter 9: Ooooh, Insanity!I heard laughter, laughter so loud that I could hear it over the speakers. “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT!” I ran outside and heard another laugh, somehow different. Naturally, I started to panic. After a few minutes I heard even more maniacal laughter... But it wasn’t the same as before. This one was WAY more maniacal. I started to look around, trying to find the source of the laughter. I knew I wasn’t going to find it. “Hahahaha...” More laughter, need to run! What is going on today, two different laughs that were crazy as hell? That, along with the fact that I can’t find where they were coming from. I ran to the center of town. When I arrived there I was sorta relieved, I didn’t hear any more laughing. I went back home, didn’t want anyone to get worried about where I was. After running back I saw Octavia in the doorway looking worried. “Did you hear that too? That laugh! Terrifying, just terrifying!” she said when I came in. “I heard it, but did you hear the other laugh too ?” I asked. “Eeeeuuuhhh, Other...laugh ? Sorry, I don’t know what you are talking about.” “AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HEAD THE OTHER LAUGH ? AM I GOING INSANE?" “Going insane isn’t all that bad, you know... Hehehehehe...” “Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!” I screamed as I heard the voice. I sat down on the floor and my body started shaking. “What is happening...” I said with a shaky voice. “Why are you on the ground?” a voice said. I started to look around and saw Pinkie standing in the doorway. “Pinkie!” I yelled as I ran up to her and gave her the biggest hug a pony has ever had experienced. She laughed after a while and I let go. “What’s wrong silly?” “I don’t know! I keep hea- never mind, I just need a distraction. Can I come over to Sugarcube Corner for awhile?” “Awh, someone’s leaving little old me alone?” I heard the voice again, but tried my best to ignore it. “Eeeuuhh, come on Pinkie, lets go.” We talked a bit on the so I could stop thinking about the voice that has been talking to me, and only me! “Have you even ridden a boar backwards while baking a cake? Hardest thing to do.” “Aww shit. Please, just please leave me alone will ya’” I mumbled under my breath “Hmm... Nah. I like talking to you too much.” My eyes spread as I heard this! FUUUUUUUUUUU, the only thing I could think. “What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuuuuuck! Just leave me alone, fuck with my mind later but now I just want some cupcakes!” “Then eat your cupcakes. It’s not like I’m taking control of your body or anything... Actually, I just might...” “Pinkie, could we keep talking, please? I’m, errrrr... bored.” “Fine, tune me out. It’s not like I have knowledge of some of the most annoying songs known to mankind or anything...” FUCK! It knew stuff about Earth... Lets just hope it doesn’t start humming Carameldansen (don't hate me, I just hate the synth) or something. Or frikkin’ One Direction! Oh god no, why am I thinking this. I’m dumb. “I just met you... And this is crazy... But here’s my number, so call me maybe?“ “Fuck no! Oh shit did I just scream this?” I obviously scream and got a ‘What’s wrong silly?’ look from Pinkie. “You HAVE been screaming a bit, Pimmy-boy.” How did he know my nickname! Shitshitshithitshiiiiiit! Please go, please go, please GO! “Please just ignore me Pinkie... I’m having some troubles.” “You know, groveling isn’t gonna help you here. I got a half of a mind just to show up and smack you silly, boy. With a rubber chicken. Who has the name of Bob the cluckinator.” Wait he’s going to show up? I need to hide as soon as I get to Sugarcube Corner... If I even get there without running away or getting knocked out. “I’m a magical voice in your head, Pim. You seem to forget that hiding from a voice IN YOUR HEAD would be impossible. Unless you could remove your brain somehow. I would pay money to see someone remove their brain and continue to live.” Idea! Get rid of my brain... No wait, that would make me die. I’m just dumb, but how do I solve this? Knock myself out? And with that I ran up to a tree and started bumping head against it. That would eventually do the trick. “Well, if you’re going to be intimate with a tree, be my guest. How about you get its name first? Take her out for dinner, see a movie, you know. Make her feel loved.” I smiled at this. If this was the humor this ‘thing’ had then I somehow couldn’t hate him that much. Don’t get me wrong, I still dislike him speaking to me in my head. Suddenly, I felt my body acting on its own. I walked up to the tree and hugged it, yelling, “TREE! BY MAH WAIFU!” I wiped my face all over it, and pulled my head back one more time. “KISSU-KISSU!” “Sorry, couldn’t resist.” Before kissing it I felt my head being grabbed by something. “Pim! Stop!” And suddenly Pinkie stood in front of me, “catching” my KISSU! “Ohai Pinkie. How’re you doing?” There was a short pause as Pinkie’s eyes widened a bit. “Pinkie, what’s wrong?” “Oh, same-old, same old. I just got into this guys head and it’s pretty fun, to say the least.” “Pim! Help me!” Pinkie screamed as her tail started tingling. “You know Pinkie, I expected you to be just a bit more fun this universe.The one I’m in would’ve LOVED for a chance to prank somepony like this, you know?” Oh no, it got her too! FUUUUUU! Ok, how do I solve this? “Actually, I’m gonna go and make a hoagie... Have fun you two~” “Pim, did you just hear a voice?” she yelled. “I did! Let’s get to Sugarcube Corner! And fast!” After saying that we ran as fast as we could and arrived at Sugarcube Corner, panting of course. “I need a snack, you have some cupcakes here?” “I do, let me get those really quick.” I went over to a random table, and guess who’s there! Vinyl and Octavia, shit... Hope it doesn’t get them. “Hi everypony!” I said as I saw Pinkie trotting towards me. “In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room All the birds sing words and the flowers croon In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room” I started giggling, receiving a weird look from everypony except Pinkie. “What’s wrong Pim? You’re acting all weird and stuff.” Vinyl said. “Ah, this is the charming Vinyl Scratch and Octavia. Hm... I know~!” “Me! Weird! Hahaha...” I started laughing nervously. “Ah, for poor Octy, the nastiest-ass techno I could find, and for Vinyl, we got a fully orchestral piece. To them, it’ll be just like when you get a song stuck in your head... Lets watch ‘em squirm!” “Oh fuck no!” I mumbled Suddenly Vinyl and Octavia slowly started to give themselves small punches to their head. “Aaaah! Why do I hear this shitty classical whining?” “Well, I am hearing your annoying Techno! Please turn it off!” Me and Pinkie looked at eachother and both said: “Not them!” “Hahahahaha, YES, THEM!” Ok, thinking level zero! I’m gonna derp anyways... I jumped on the table and yelled: “BEGONE DEMON! THE POWER OF CUPCAKES COMPELLS YOU! I’LL WAFFLE YOU!” “Really? Oh, wait, that’s my cue... Ahem.” Suddenly, all four of us floated from our chairs, speaking in some kind of diabolist voice. “YOU THINK THAT THE POWERS OF CUPCAKES AND THE BELGIAN PROMISE OF A DEATH IN MY SLEEP SHALL DETER ME, PIM? DO NOT TAKE THE THREATS OF THE VOICE INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD LIGHTLY, FOR THE CONTROL OVER YOUR BODIES IS ABSOLUTE. THYNE FUTURES ARE SEALED, THYNE SOULS ARE TAINTED, AND THYNE BRAIN IS SLOW. DISPAIR.” Having my consciousness back, I saw our group floating in the air and a terrified group of ponies staring at us with a open mouth. WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. How long is this going to last? Why did all of this start with me? WHY! “Well, you’re either going mad and exhibiting magical tendencies, you’re being haunted by a devil, or someone crazy is somehow tapping into your mind. It’s going to last as long as I please, and it’s happening to you first because I was bored. Good enough?” “Could we please get a introduction again before we all start derping around again?” I mumbled under my breath while sighing “One, get a bluetooth. People won’t think that you’re completely bonkers. Oh wait, I forgot that you live in Equestria! Silly me. Two, Nah. Don’t feel like it." “You son of a bitch...” I tried one more thing... “Panda in a rollercoaster with a chicken with a pully! HA! Mindfucked!” I yelled, still getting looks from everypony. “Nyet. Komono Dragon in a toaster with its friends while riding a unicycle backwards with a box of rabid weasels.” “Mmmmh, good one, I’ll give you that. Looks like confusing you won’t work. Let’s just wait it out then.” “One does not simply walk into Mordor, and one does not simply ‘wait me out’. It’s like trying to make chicken salad without chicken." “Well fuck, I’m out of options! Can’t we make a deal or something?” “Well, that depends. You got any hot pockets?” I searched my pockets, Nope! Nothing. “Well, I suppose you can’t go to my home back on Earth and get some out of the kitchen?” “I can jump around any universe you can think, but no. Mainly because I’m already here, and I’m too lazy to do anything else.” “Feel free to change your mind. Nothing is stopping you. But I think you should make a appreance... A physical one.” “Himm? Why would you want that? If anything else, I would be derping around with you guys more.” “What is happening!” Pinkie yelled as she slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was floating with the whole group. “Well, its kinda obvious, we’re being controlled by this mad thing that is making us float in the air at the moment.” I said as it was a normal thing. “Uuuh guys, why ar-” Vinyl said before being cut off by Octavia. “Why are we floating! Vinyl are you doing this?! You’re the only one with magic here!” “Do you see my horn glowing? I don’t think so.” Vinyl replied. “Girls! Lets not get into a fight here. Okay.” I interupted. “Sorry Pim, Sorry Vinyl.” Octavia said and sighed. “Sigh. I guess that I have to really show up now to prevent you jokers from eating each other alive, huh?” The voice seemed to become more substantial as it talked, and I could hear the crackle of energy right below me, a little ball of red on a chair blowing up into the form of a pony. With a last flash, the energy became real, showing a red pony with tri-colored hair. “Hello, marsupials. Hope you all are having a nice time up there.” “Dafuq! So you finally decided to show up did ya’. Now would be the perfect time for Twilight or AJ to buck your ass.” I closed my eyes and opened them a while later in hope that it would actually happen... Nope, damn you, cartoon mind! The pony rolled his eyes and placed one hoof on his chin while the other one reached below his seat. “Well, seeing that I can levitate people in the air, AJ or Twi’ wouldn’t be able to buck me, now could they? Anyway, marsupials, would you like to calm down so that I can put you down and we can have a nice, civil conversation? Otherwise, Octy over there is going to be the proud owner of a beard.” “Oh what I’d do to see that shit!” I said joking... Bad decision. “Oh really~?” The red pony asked, his eyes raking over to Octavia. “So Octy, what type would you like? Handlebar, full face, Lincoln strip?” I laughed at Lincoln strip, again. Bad decision to laugh. Why don’t I ever learn. Octavia struggled mid-air and had a few beads of sweat coming onto her brow. “Well, gentlecolt, I don’t think I-” She was interrupted by the red pony on the stool. “You know, I think a survivalist’s beard would look good on you...” “Wait, you’re serious about this?!” I turned to Octavia “Sorry Octavia but I can’t promise I won’t laugh.” The red pony pulled out a tray of pizza rolls. Where did he get a tray of pizza rolls? “You know, I should probably wrap this up,” He took a bite out of one of the pizza rolls. “Disc’rd prolly wn’ts ta shee me...” He clapped his hooves together, giving Octavia a huge, bushy beard that almost went down to her hooves. “You’re leaving so soon already? I was hoping to actually have a conversation with you.” I said while laughing at Octavia. Looks like I gotta apologize later. The red pony belched and got up off of the stool. “Well, we did have a bit of a conversation, but really, I gots ta go. You know, people with plans, people with deadlines, me going to have to get Nightmare Moon, that type of stuff. Anyway, Ciao!” He vanished into thin air with all of the pizza rolls popping like little cherry bombs as cover. Our group fell down on the table, well more specificly... On me. Doesn’t feels that good to have three ponies on top of you, feels like when an anvil falls on your chest from ten meters high. That hurts, trust me. I looked around to see that Sugarcube Corner was deserted.I looked back to Ocatvia having a giant-ass beard. “You should go to Rarity sometime to get that removed ya’ know.” She punched me after saying that “Awch, sorry.” “Uuuh, Pim, Octavia, Vinyl, Do you mind if I stay over tonight?” “Not at all Pinkie, you’re welcome.” We made our way home after picking up some pizza rolls from the floor. Oh it has been FOREVER since have had any pizza. The “conversation” at Sugarcube Corner lasted for a good while. The sun was already setting and everypony was going home or closing their stand. We didn't talk at all while walking home, everypony in the group was just too scared, I guess. What happened was pretty terrifying. Eventually we came home and we all grabbed a apple from the kitchen table and sat down to discuss what actually happened. “So this... mad red pony can become invisible, can speak to everypony without anyone hearing it, has telekenisis, the power to summon pizza rolls, to grow beards on everypony and possible more. Great! We are completely fucked!” I said as we sat down. “Well he said something about Discord! ...Discord!” Pinkie said in a dramatic voice. “I don’t know who Discord is but I know for a fact that he’s a baddie! ...You know I wonder if that pony can summon Guybrush Threepwood, I always wanted to meet the mighty pirate. He could defeat the red pony if we told him if it was LeChuck...” I said getting weird looks from that last part “Never mind, y’all know I’m weird! But we should go to sleep soon, shouldn’t we! Somepony is going to share a bed.” “I’ll give my bed to Pinkie!” Vinyl said. “Who are you going to sleep with then?” Octavia said. “I don’t know.” She said looking at me “Anyways, back to the Discord thing. It also mentioned something with moon, what was it?” After thinking fro a while I yelled: “Nightmare Moon! That was it! Now who the fuck is she?” It noticed that nopony didn’t care anymore about me saying curse words. Good. *evil laugh* “She’s Princess Luna evil side! She can bring a eternal night to Equestria!” Pinkie explained in her dramatic way. “She’s a baddie, we need to make sure that we whoop her ass... errr flank.” “I hope they don’t summmon other baddies! Like changelings or a walking army of poison joke plants! Oh no!That won’t be fun at all” Pinkie replied “We need to report to the Royal Sisters tomorrow ASAP!” I said “ASAP?” the group said in unison. “As Soon As Possible.” and received a lot of ‘Ooohhh’ “Well, bed time everypony!” Octavia intrupted “We need to be fresh and awake if we need to go to Canterlot tomorrow.” She said again “Well ok then. Vinyl, made up your mind yet?” I said She put her hoof to her chin and put her other hoof into the air. It looked like she was deciding on the spot. “I’ll chooooosseeee... YOU!” She said as she pointed at me. “Euuuh you equals me? Wait, what? We’re sharing a bed? Oooooookay! I’m not saying no.” I said, giving her a playful wink. kinkeh! We all went upstairs and got to our rooms, yes also me and Vinyl. We went into our room and closed the curtains. “What side do you pick?” Vinyl said. “I don’t care, also don’t think anything weird if I give you huggles in your sleep. I’m kinda active.” I said, chuckling at that last part “I don’t mind, same here actually!” Vinyl replied We both crawled under the sheets and got comfy. We talked a bit more about music, how weird the day was, things we gotta do after everything was okay. All that stuff. When the conversation died, we slowly started to fall asleep, giving huggles to each other. So peaceful... “Oh, Pimmy-boy is fawwing asweep with Vinyl, is he? Well, I know a perfect lullaby for you, Pim. Away in a madhouse, confined to my bed, From visions and nightmares that filled me with dread, the doctor has sweetly inserted a probe, to sever completely my pre-frontal lobe, electroshock therapy, mind-numbing pills, they change my behaviour to cure all my ills, I love the asylum, my own padded cell, I'll stay here forever, for outside it's hell. Nighty-night, Pim. Hehehehehehehehehe....” Well that’s it for this lenthy chapter! Hope y’all enjoyed it and be happy with this for 2 weeks because I’ll be in Italy tomorrow! You wanna say something, Pro? Nope, not really. Well ok then! This red pony is probably going to fuck up a lot of shit! And eat lots of pizza rolls!
Chapter 2: The New RealityI woke up on a couch and rolled off it "Mmmmmhhhh. Need. Sleep." I sit up and rub my eyes, there was yellow blur in front of me and the more i rubbed my eyes, the clearer the blur became. After rubbing my eyes about 6 times I open my eyes and see a pony in front of me " HOLY SH-" The pony backed away because of my reaction. "Are you okay ?" it asked. I started breathing heavily. "OMG, OMG, Oh. My. GOD! Wh- Wh- What are you ?" I asked in a scared voice. "I'm a pony" it said with a shy voice. After I calmed down a bit. "What, what's your name ?" I asked, still a little bit scared. "My name is Fluttershy, what's yours ?" She asked. "My name is Pim. But how did I get here ? How do you talk…..?" I pause for a moment. "WHERE THE HELL AM I ?!" Fluttershy backed away a bit but this time I noticed "I'm sorry…eeuuuhh…Fluttershy. But could you tell me what's going on…I must be dreaming, I'll end this dream now." I stand up on the couch and get in position to drop myself to the floor. Fluttershy weeped a bit and said "Don't do this you'll hurt yourself!" I simply answer "What could go wrong! I'm dreaming!" The next second I lie on the floor with the start of what could become a headache. "Aauuuuuuwwwwchhhhhh. That hurt." Then realization struck me. "I'm not dreaming am I ?" Fluttershy replied "No, come on get some rest." I refused and said "I'd like to know what the hell is going. Then I'll rest." "Well, I'm sure Twilight can answer your questions. She wanted to see you when you're healthy again." I stood up and said "I need some fresh air." I look around the room for the door and when I finally spotted it. I open the door, closed my eyes and take a deep breath. The air was fresher then I ever could imagine. When I opened my eyes it came to my attention that this…"world" looked different. It looked cartoonish but still very detailed. I tried to process I saw: the cartoonish world, birds that sang in perfect harmony. It was a lot to process as I didn't realize that Fluttershy was asking me something, but after a while I noticed. I ignored what she said and went back inside. I walked to Fluttershy and asked " So…what's this 'world' called ? Can you ponies can talk ?" She replied "This is Equestria, yes all ponies and stallions can talk and I think that your actually ready to go and see Twilight." Before I agreed I asked one more question. "You still didn't tell me how I got here, from what I was at some sort of ruin before I woke up." She replied "Well, you ran into us-" I interrupted "Somepony ran into me." She replied "Yes, Rainbow Dash charged at you…" I thought of the blue pony with the rainbow mane "That's probably Rainbow Dash" She continued "Well after she charged at you, you passed out and we brought you here." I replied "That's really nice of you…ponies. Well then, shall we go to this 'Twilight' ?" as I gestured to the door. We walked on a dirt "road" to what seemed to be a village. I looked to my left and saw a forest there. Fluttershy noticed this and told me that the forest was called "Everfree Forest" but that it's a dangerous place to be. I thought "Pshhh, I'll go in there sooner or later anyways." We walked further and I began to see a town in the distance. "What's that town over there ?" She replied "That's Ponyville, we're heading to it now. Some of my best friends live there. But you saw them at the ruins." I replied "I don't remember much from our first meeting. But you should introduce them to me when we're done." After what seemed to be like 15 minutes of walking we were near the edge of town. Ponies and stallions were all staring at me and whispering stuff to each other. I started blushing a bit because I'm not used to so much attention. I saw a pony leaving her apple cart and coming toward Fluttershy. She said something to Fluttershy but I couldn't hear it. Then the pony came up to me, she was orange and had 3 apples tattoo'ed on her flank. She had a blonde mane and wore a cowboy hat. "'ello there! My name is Applejack. Nice to meet yah!" Kinda surprised by her and being so direct and kind 'Hello, I'm Pim" Applejack replied "Well, how are ya' holding up ? You passed out last time we met." I replied "Wait you were there ?" She nodded "Yes 'Ah was a bit worried." Suddenly my stomach growls…Applejack noticed this "You sound hungry, how 'bout a apple ? First on is on the house!" I gladly took the apple "Thank you very much Applejack! I appreciate it!" I took a bite from the apple she gave me. This apple was probably the best one I ate in my entire life, and I ate a lot of apples (trust me ;D). I embraced the sweet taste of it and before I knew it I ate almost all of the apple. "That was the best apple I ever at Applejack! I'll be sure to buy my apples from you." She smiled "Well thank ya' much Pim. That's good to hear! If ya' have some time, come by the Apple Ochard to visit me. But now Ah' need to get back to my cart. See ya' around Pim!" I smiled back "I will, thanks again Applejack! See you around." We walked away venturing into the town even more. I became a bit bored and started tapping my pockets like I usually do when I'm bored. I felt something and reached into my right pocket. I grabbed something out of it and looked at it. Apperently I still had my red iPod in my pocket , shame I didn't have my Ministery Of Sound headphones with me. Some music would be good right now. I think I'll still be able to buy some new headphones here. After walking for about 10 minutes we came up to a tree….house…..treehouse. Fluttershy said "Well this is where Twilight lives, in the library. She's here almost all the time though." We walk up to the door and I knock on it. I hear a some voice coming from inside "Spike! Open the door, I'll be right there" A little purple creature with green scales opened the door. "Hello Fluttershy….and…uuuhh ?" I helped him "Pim, My name's Pim. Nice to meet you." This time Fluttershy spoke up. "This is Spike, he a baby dragon." (well the story doesn't needs dragons anymore does it ;D) Spike took over and said in a proud tone "-and I'm Twilight's number 1 assistant!" I took over once more "Nice to meet you Spike." Then suddenly a purple pony with a star tattooed on her flank came down a set of stairs. "Ah, Fluttershy you made it… Oh we have a guest! Spike go make some tea please! We have a long conversation ahead of us!"
Chapter 3: Starting To Settle DownAUTHOR'S NOTE: I gonna try to get this story going for a while, feedback is welcome and appreciated! But in order for some plans that I had for the story to happen, I need to develop the story further. -Madgod Pim CHAPTER 3 I enter Twilight's home and first thing I see were books...tons and tons of books. The walls are like giant bookshelves Twilight began to talk to me. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, what's yours ?" "It's Pim, nice to meet you Twilight Sparkle. Why did you want me to come over here ?" "Please call me Twilight, and the reason I called you here is because I didn't find your species in any of these books. I'd like to known what you are." "I'm a human, aren't there any humans here ?" "No, you're the first 'human' here. Could you explain more about 'humans' ?" I sighed "Sure but it's going to take a while though. Let's sit down." After explaining that humans also had male and female gender, that we live long lives, the humans live on a place called Earth, that we are sorta aggressive but then I began asking some questions. "How long do days last here ?" "Well, Princess Celestia controls the sun and Princess Luna controls the moon." I couldn't believe what I just heard, two ponies CONTROL the sun and moon! Twilight stared at me an asked: "What's wrong ? Don't you have 2 humans controlling a sun and moon ?" "No! They move on their own!" Twilight gasps "How do they move without magic ?!" "We don't have magic!! I has something to do with gravity! We can't fly or magic! Magic is a fairy tale on Earth!" Twilight frowned at me when I said that, I quickly apologized: "Sorry, I said that, I didn't know to believe in magic or not..." "It's ok, don't worry" "Thanks, it's just so...confusing. Any more questions ?" "Not now, I'm going to write a letter to Princess Celestia about you, she probably would want to see you." "That would be great, I'd like to ask her some questions..." I noticed that Fluttershy wasn't in the room anymore, she probably left. "Oh Twilight! One more question, Where's the town hall ?" "Just go to the center of town, you'll see it. I'm sure you'll be fine on your own." "Oh still forgot another question, what are those things that you ponies have on your as-.....eeeuuuhhh...flank ?" "Oh those are cutie marks, they represent your unique talent. Mine represents magic." "Ok Thanks Twilight! See you around." She waved at me while reading a book, for a second I just thought "What a nerd." So I did, went outside. Getting weird looks from everypony I made my way to the center. On my way I saw a bakery of some sort. When looked though the windows and I saw some delicious looking cupcakes. I'd love to pass by sometime and nom on one of those. I looked at a sign near the building saying "Sugercube Corner" I'd have to remember that. But right now I needed to go to the town hall, I needed information on housing, jobs and possible citizenship. I don't think I can get out of Equestria so it would be smart to settle down. After walking around town getting weird looks from everypony I arrived to what looked like a town hall. I went inside and was greeted by a pony sitting at a desk. I walked up to her and asked "Hello, I'd like to see the mayor please." "Okay, please wait for a while." She went over to a double door and went in. After about a minute she came back out. "You can go in sir." "Thank you." I opened the double door and saw a long table and a pony in front of a large window. "Word's around town that something new is walking around." She turn around and I see a pony with glasses and grey hair. "I'm the mayor, who and what are you ?" "My name is Pim and I'm a human. I came here to ask about several things." "Like what exactly ?" "We'll I'd like to settle down here. But I need housing, a job and probably citizenship right ?" "Yeah, you would require citizenship. So let us start with that shall we ? I'll be right back" The mayor went up to a cupboard and pulled out a paper and pen. She put the paper on the table and put the pen between her teeth. Somehow she could still cleary talk and said "Ok, what's your full name ?" "Pim Chindler. That's spelled Chin-dler" "Mmh, City of origin ?" Thinking a bit I said "Just write down Earth." "That should do. Now let's make a copy for the Princess." She grabbed another paper out of the cupboard and wrote the same things on it. After she was done she just left it on the table, she'd probably do something with it later. "Okay, now about a job. What are your talents ?" "Well, I'm good at making music and mixing it." "What sort of music ?" I pulled my iPod out of my pocket and asked "Can plug this in somewhere ?" She pointed at a small radio with a cable. I plugged in my iPod and put a track on She listened until the climax and then turned it off. "I'm going to address you to Ms Scratch for that. And I'll start looking for a affordable house for you." "Where do I find this Ms Scratch ?" "Leave the building walk straight forward and go right as soon as you can." "Thank you. I'll come check for a house here soon." "Goodbye." "Wow she looked really annoyed. She's probably a b*tch anyways. Oh well." Like the mayor said I went out of the town hall and went straight forward. But after 5 minutes of walking there was no right to go to. I went back to the town hall but before I entered I thought a bit. I went back to the marketplace where Applejack's cart should be. After walking a bit I saw Applejack's cart with a ponies and a stallion waiting in line. I joined and after a while it was my turn. "Hey Applejack, I need to find a certain Ms Scratch. Do you know where she lives ?" "Keep following that road and you'll end up in front of her house." and pointed to a road on the left. "Thanks Applejack, see you later!" As soon I approached a house inn the distance I could hear a kick bass become louder and louder. Once I was at the door I was head bumping on the tracks tempo. I knocked on the door knowing that it wouldn't do anything. I tried the doorknob, the door was open. Hesitating if should go in or not I thought. "What could go wrong ?" I opened the door and saw a White pony with glasses and a blue mane with highlights standing behind 2 turntables raving. The music was 130 BPM (Electro or House) and also started raving with the pony. I screamed "TOTALLY WORTH IT!"
Chapter 4: Meeting Vinyl ScratchWhile I was raving waved to the white pony. I assumed that this was Ms Scratch. After raving for another minute the break kicks in and she lowers the sound on the mixer. She comes to me with a big smile on her face saying. "Hey there, you got some nice moves." "Thanks, what track were you playing, it was pretty nice. ?" "I don't know, I just grabbed a record, hoping it wasn't one of Octavia's, and played it. Why are you here ?" "Uuh, I was talking to the mayor to find a job, I told her I was good with modern music and she addressed me to a certain Ms Scratch. And I believe that's you." She answered "Please, call me Vinyl. And if you say you're good with modern music…You should show me what you're capable of." pointing at the turntables. "Sure, I'd love to mix right now! It's been a while since I mixed some tracks." I walked over to the turntables I asked good records. She gave me a bunch of records that she said is clubbish. I began mixing, she gave me a bunch of house records but I never mixed with vinyl before. So hoping it would be good. I placed the first vinyl and played it. I kept on mixing for about 10 minutes, but then I stopped because Vinyl came in the room with some drinks. She levitated 2 glasses of delicious apple juice. "You pretty good, we could team up!" "Sure! But can you plug this in ?" pulling out my iPod and show it to her. "I can but I'm not sure it will work though." I was lucky, it worked but I couldn't scratch. But I didn't mind. "Hey Vinyl, Do you know the genres Drum & Bass, Dubstep or Glitch Hop ?" "Never heard of it!" "I'll introduce you." I said as I selected my tracks. I began playing a track named Ghost Assassin by Maduk & Veela and moved on to other tracks (Talking about this mix, you might not be able to listen to it YouTube removes it for some countries like the USA). This went on for a hour and a half. I mixed Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton, House, Electro, Glitch Hop, etc. "I like you but I didn't ask your name yet. And what are you ?" "It's Pim, i'm a human and i'm really glad I met you. (No this isn't crazy….or is it :3 see what I did there *slaps knee and laughs* )" "Well me too." she said in a playful manner. I grinned a little bit when I heard that. "Good to hear that somepony isn't weirded out by me. So, you play at a club for a living ?" "I do, maybe you could teach me how to scratch and mix with vinyl and I'll teach you how to make your own music." "You make your own music ? Isn't that super hard ?" "It takes a lot of time to get something good. But I don't have a laptop here. All my stuff is back on Earth." "What's a laptop, and what's Earth ?" "A laptop is a device that a lot of persons use on Earth, the place I come from." "Maybe you could ask Celestia for something, she the most powerful being in Equestria." "I am going to see her soon anyway. Thanks for saying that!" "No problem, say do you don't have a job… Stay here until you have one, free of charge! I like that music you have what's it called again ?" "There are many genres but the general term for it is EDM. (Electronic Dance Music)" "Watch out for Octavia though, she's a real killjoy. And she highly dislikes our choice of music. She listens to classic stuff." "Bleh, I don't like classic, nothing wrong with it though." "We have a guest room so you'll be sleeping there. Why don't you go have a look at it." We went up a set of stairs and Vinyl open a door at the right side of the corridor connected to the set of stairs. It was a normally sided room with a window looking out on the garden. There was a bed, cupboard, a small desk with a chair and that was it. I didn't need anything more. Vinyl said: "I'm kinda hungry, come on! Let's have dinner!" "Don't we need to wait for you housemate Octavia ?" "She's staying in Canterlot tonight, had to play cello at a fancy party that started pretty late. "Ok then, you'll have to introduce me tomorrow." "So it's us two here alone tonight" she said grinning. I felt my face becoming red "Eeeuuuh yeah..." We went back downstairs to have dinner. I sat down at the kitchen table and watched Vinyl grab some food. She grabbed some apples (hopefully AJ's ;D) and a lot of vegetables. I didn't like vegetables very much so I grabbed myself 3 apples because I was pretty damn hungry. She grabbed a apple and some hay. We talked a bit about our day. After about half a hour we decided to go to our rooms and sleep. We both walked up to the corridor. "Well then, I had a lot of fun today Vinyl. But I'm going to bed. Good night!" "I also had a great time, see ya' in the morning Pim!" I closed the door behind me and undressed myself. I layed on the bed in my shorts thinking about all of this, this world, magic, talking ponies and dragons... I'd better just accept stuff the way it is now. I thought of going to Princess Celestia soon. I could ask how I got here, but I don't want to leave thought. Earth was a boring routine... Equestria is new and exciting. And about a job...I could ask Celestia of she could maybe do something so I could have my laptop back, then I could produce and make music. Make a living out of it and DJ in the nightclub. I had some plans...Let's hope they succeed. But now I should get some rest, it was a long day...
Chapter 5: In The BoutiqueThe sun rose up from the horizon, it was a new day. My second day in Equestria started off with sunbeams shining through the window and by doing that, they woke me up. "Mmmhhhhhhh." I tried to look at the window but was blinded by the sunlight. I covered my eyes with my hand and looked outside. I saw the sun and assumed it was midday. I got dressed and went down the stairs. I went to the kitchen area and was greeted by Vinyl. "Good morning Vinyl." "Good midday Pim, did you sleep well ?" "I did, if I didn't then I would have been awake earlier." "That's good to hear...I also have a small question." "Ask away!" "Do you have a shower here ?" "We do, feel free to use it. But not too long, we have a limited amount of hot water" Relieved I blew out some air "Don't worry, I don't take long showers" I said reassuring her. I went up the stairs again and yelled "What door is the bathroom ?!" "The last one on the left!" I opened the door and was met by my reflection. A looked around in the bathroom. It had a shower, a sink and a fairly large mirror that I saw when I opened the door. I undressed myself and got into the shower. After having a hot relaxing shower I put my clothes back on, but I would need some new ones soon. I went downstairs to see Vinyl wait at the table with some breakfast. Again, there were apples, hay, carrots and all sorts a things. I ate an apple and Vinyl at some hay with an apple. "I need some new clothes, is there a tailor here in town ?" "Yeah, you should pass by Rarity's Boutique for some clothes, I don't think she ever made something for a human before though." "I think I'll go there right now. We should meet up later. How about that place called....eeeuuuhh what was it ? Sugercube Corner!" "Sounds great. Meet me there at afternoon." "Okay, I'll try to find my way to be in time. I'm going to look for a job though. I don't want to live off you and Octavia." "Sound good, 'till then." I walked to the door and opened it "Bye!" I walked back to the marketplace and walked over to Applejack. "Hey there Applejack, I need to find a place called Rarity's Boutique. Could you tell me where it is ?" "Hello Pim, I can walk with ya' to it. Ah could give you a tour of Ponyville if you want." "That would be great, but don't you have more important things to do ?" "Ah can take a break for a while." "Thanks Applejack, I appreciate it." "No problem sugercube." We walked and talked about our day a bit, I asked her where I could find a job and Applejack answered that she could use some help. I'll talk about that later with her. We arrived at a very fancy looking building. "Pim, I'm gonna go back to ma' cart now. If you need something then you know where to find me." "Thanks Applejack, we'll discuss the job thing later." I walked into the boutique and a bunch of mannequins. There also was a little stage with a mannequin on it. I heard someone coming into the room. I turned my head towards the direction where the sound came from. A white unicorn with purple mane and 3 diamonds as her cutie mark. She was levitating a ribbon and looked like she was searching for something. After searching for a while I thought it was time that she noticed me. "Euh, hello ?" She turned her head to me and after a while she realized that I was standing these "Oh excuse me, I'm rather busy right now. What can I do for you ?" "I'd like to have some clothes made for me, but I don't think you made clothes for something like me. Right ?" "Wait, you were the thing that passed out near the ruins in the forest." "Yeah, sure..." She looked at me, she walked around me, she inspected me. "I'll make you some outfits for free! I could do marvelous things with a body shaped like that! What's your name darling ?" "It's Pim, you have to be Rarity." "I am, im happy to meet you Pim. What style do you like ?" "Well, I like the style from the clothes i'm wearing right now." "Mmmhh, how is this style called ?" "Well, in my world they call it a Skater Look." That made me think of skating with some friends back on Earth. The wind when you drop down a quarterpipe or into a bowl. Sharing food and drinks when you took breaks, breaking someone's board when they asked to you. I used to represent the skating community of my hometown. We used to have a local skating day once a year at the skatepark and me and my friend would teach people how to do a ollie and how to push properly. Aaaah great times... I hope I could skate here again, maybe meet a pony that can change the shape of wood, because I don't know how to make plywood. "I'll try to have them done as soon as possibly, where are you staying darling ?" "I'm staying over at Vinyl Scratch & Octavia's house, why ?" "I'll send your new clothes over there when they're done." "You don't have to do that, you're making my clothes for free, I'll come get them myself so I can thank you." "Are you sure ?" "Pretty damn sure." I said as I smiled" "Thank you darling, anything else ?" "That will be it Rarity, thanks again." "It's fine, I'm going to enjoy making clothes for you." "See you around Rarity!" I said as I walked towards the door "Bye Pim!" She said as she continued searching Its probably time to go to Sugercube Corner and meet up with Vinyl. Let's hope I find my way back! Ok lets do this, right, left, forward, right...and there we are! I saw Sugercube Corner (around the corner, see what i did there :3)
Chapter 6: Cupcakes...Lots of CupcakesAuthor’s note: If this is a bit weird that’s because my friend is playing the ME3 Extended Cut DLC next to and I’m total fanboy!!!! And I sort of making a House song for this fic.... WHEEEEEEEWWWW BACK TO WRITING!!![ I opened the door and was met by the lovely smell of cookie dough, flour and sugary things...lots of it. I looked around searching for Vinyl but got distracted by a plate of colorful cupcakes. There was a rainbow type one, one with stars, one with flowers and so on and on. I heard some yelling and turned my head toward the noise. “Hey Pim! Come over here! I have some cupcakes!” I had a smile on my face the moment she said that she had cupcakes. I quickly made my way over to the table she was sitting at. “Take a seat, have a cupcake, relax.” I did as she said and grabbed a pink cupcake and took a large bite while I proceeded to sit down. As soon as I swallowed, I just yelled. “THIS IS SO DELICIOUS!!!” Getting angry looks from everypony because I’m so stupid that I didn’t even notice that I was yelling way too loud. “So, how was it in the Boutique?” “Well Rarity, the owner, went completely crazy about my..eeeuuuhhh, body shape. She said she’ll make me some outfits...For free!” “That’s great! But I also have good news. I have a show soon and I want you to help me with it. I always use two turntables, but I wanna try four this time. So, I’m going to need your help with that. I know you’re good, and I heard you mix and it was pretty good. So are you up for it ?” “Of course I am, but if I had my laptop I would be so much better!” EDIT: Writing this part while listening to the Rock Werchter livestream with Skream, Netsky & Skrillex! Expect some weird stuff being written! “You’ll have to do with turntables now!” “I know, last time went extremely well, but I never mixed with someone else at the same time.” “Me neither. as far as I know, I was the only talented DJ in Equestria.” “Was?” “You’re here now!” “Oh, you!” I blushed a bit after she said that, don’t hear that a lot, “When is the show?” “It’s in about a week...Plenty of time to practice if you want.” “Sure, I’d love to also use my songs...But I don’t think you have a iPod input do you?” “I don’t even know what you’re talking about dude.” “Oh, nevermind then.” “But anyways, I’d like you to meet one of my good friends!” She stood up and yelled “PINKIIIEEEEEE!!!! SOMEONE NEW IS HERE!!” I suddenly heard somepony screaming. “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!! SOMEONE NEW!!! THAT MEANS CAN HAVE A WELCOMING PARTY, YAY!!!!” Next thing I know, a pink pony had me pinned to the ground. “WOW THERE! Calm the fuck down!” “HEY! You’re not going to use mean words are you?!” “Oh sorry, old habit. But a welcoming party huh...” I started grinning. “Vinyl, we could take care of the music right?” “Sure! That would be great, Pinkie, is tonight ok?” “Of course, you silly! We could have punch and-” She started to sorta hyperventilate. I grabbed her and shook her. (not too hard) “Calm. Down. Please.” “Only if you tell me your name!” “It’s Pim.” “Sorry, Pim. She gets carried away pretty fast.” Vinyl walked over her and whispered something. Pinkie jumped in the air and floated there for a while, breaking the laws of physics and simply mindfucking me. “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! I’m going to set this party up right away! YAY!!!!” and Pinkie ran off and Vinyl came back to our table. EDIT: Listen to this beautiful House song! I'll be trying to make something like this for the fic and the upcoming plot! Vinyl started talking again. “You haven’t even actually told me your artist name yet, what is it ?” “Well, I really haven’t got one but I always used ‘Madgod’ as my nickname.” “It sounds cool, dark and mysterious. Wanna know my name?” “Sure!” “Its DJ-PON3.” “That reminds of a famous artist back on Earth.” I started to hum a tune (skip to 3:50). “What was the name of the artist?” “It’s ‘Deadmau5’. He makes Progressive House and his chords are the best. He’s the 4th best DJ of this year and he uses the same producing software as me. I could keep going on about him but I’m not.” “Thank you.” I looked at the cupcakes and noticed that there was one left. “Have the last cupcake.” I said with a smile. She started crying “You’re a real friend, Pim...” and she continued sobbing while eating the last cupcake. (I will LOVE you if you get that reference!) I looked outside the window, the sun was setting. “We should be going home now, shouldn’t we?” “Sure...” she said still sobbing We both stood up and walked to the door. I opened the door and gestured Vinyl to go outside first. She gave me a big smile and a friendly nod. We walked back home, talked a bit on the way and had the usual awkward silence. I walked up to the door and opened it for Vinyl. Everything was dark when I went in...Then I almost had a heart attack. Almost everypony I saw today was in here! How did they even get in here! What is everypo- I need to calm down a bit don’t I? “SURPRISE!!!!” “Eeeeeuuuuhhhh... Hi, everypony...” I greeted as I walked through the room looking for Pinkie. I saw her over at the four other ponies I met recently and another one that looked pretty familiar. I walked over here and broke their circle and said my greetings to everypony. “Hey Applejack, hey Rarity, hey Twilight, hey Fluttershy, hey Pinkie thanks for the party by the way, its very surprising! And you are ?” looking at the rainbow-maned pony “I am Rai-” “Rainbow Dash ?” I said with this kind of face “Yeah, how did you know?!” “The name got mentioned before, I remember a pony with rainbow mane making me pass out, logic thinking does the rest.” “Oh..euuuh OK. Sorry about that though.” “No hard feelings! I forgive you. You look like a cool and chill pony, we should hang out sometime.” “Eeeuuuhhh...suuuuuuuurrrreeeeeee.” “Ok, I have to admit that that sounded weird to say when you just met each other, I don’t care. And thanks for the party Pinkie, its great but I’m going to meet some ponies! Bye then!” After I left the group, they began talking again “He’s weird.” Twilight said “I kinda like his style of introducing...” Rainbow Dash said. After talking to some ponies, somepony told me to go to the kitchen. So I did and Vinyl stood there behind a mixer and two turntables. “MIXIN’ TIME BABY!!” Now the party had begun...Alcohol...Ponies...Music...Food...And a shitload of time... LET’S DO THIS! LEEERRROOOOOOYYYY JENKIIIIINNNNSSSSS :D
Chapter 7: Royal HangoverI fall on the ground. “Aaaaaaaawwwwwcchhhh....I wanna SLEEEEEEEEEEEP!” I felt a headache coming up...I looked around a bit. Apparently, I had rolled out of my bed and fell on the floor. My legs were still on the bed though. After laying down for a while I stood up and walked over to the window. Being dumb and all, I opened the curtains. Still being dumb I looked directly at the sun. “AAAAAAHHHH!!! LIGHT!!” I yelled while I fell to the ground. I crawl under my bed and grab my pillow. “Sleeeeeeeepp...Mmmmhhhhh.” After trying to fall asleep for about fifteen minutes, I gave up. I stood up, ready to face sunlight again! I got my clothes and went into the corridor and knocked on the bathroom door to check if anyone was in there. I let out a sigh. I went inside and turned on the shower. Put my clothes on the floor and stepped in the shower after removing my underpants. I started humming another song. After showering, I got dressed. I hope Rarity finishes my new clothes soon. These are getting pretty damn dirty. I went downstairs to go eat some breakfast. There was absolutely no trace of last night’s party whatsoever! As I entered the kitchen, I saw a light grey earth pony with a dark grey mane and tail. “Oh hello there, you must be Pim.” “I am! You must be Octavia, nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too, Vinyl informed me that she offered you to stay here until you have enough money to buy a house yourself. I’m OK with that as long you don’t make a mess.” “Well, did you notice any mess when you arrived here?” “Well...eehh, No...” “Well then, you shouldn’t expect any mess soon should you?” “I- I guess not...Anyways, since the mayor told you to come here you must have some sort of music talent right?” “Well, I’m good at mixing like Vinyl but I also make my own music...” “Not the same kind of junk that she plays right?” “Hey! Don’t call it junk, it’s very hard to make! What kind of music do you play, huh?!” “I play good music, classical music.” “Mmmmhhhh, I might know someone that you’ll like in my music style...” “I wouldn’t hope on that.” “Trust me, you’ll like it!” I grabbed my iPod out of my pocket and tried to turn it on...Battery is dead...FUUU “Well, I guess that will have to wait...” “Yes, there are two more things I needed to tell you. Number 1: Rarity left you a package by the door. Number 2: When I was in Canterlot, I got a letter from Princess Celestia saying that she requests your audience...today. You better get dressed, we’re leaving soon.” “Well, ok then...I guess.” I walked to the door and opened it to get the package...It wasn’t there... “Hey Octavia, where is Rarity’s package ?” “Vinyl brought it to your room. Please get yourself ready...We’re leaving in about twenty minutes.” “TWENTY MINUTES!? HOLY SHIT, I BETTER GET READY!!!” Octavia frowned after hearing that...completely understandable! I grabbed two apples from the table and ran upstairs, while taking a bite from an apple. I opened the door to my room and looked around a bit, the package was on the table. I ripped the package open and saw some outfits, skater-styled of course. Rarity made me some shirts with sleeves, some jeans with some rips in them, some T-Shirts...I love Rarity for this. After giving each outfit a spot I saw the last outfit...A tuxedo! Man...that looks awesome! After spending about ten minutes how to tie the tie she gave me. I heard some yelling from downstairs. “Pim! We’re leaving in two minutes!” “Stop fucking yelling...aaahhh fucking headache...” I mumbled to myself. I headed downstairs to see Vinyl and Octavia waiting for me at the door. “Wow you look great!” Octavia and Vinyl said in unison, chuckling a bit because of the sync. “Thanks, I do hope I was ready in time...” “You are, now there’s a long walk to the center of town. Our carriage is waiting for us there.” Octavia said. So we walked a good ten minutes and arrived at the carriage. I think the carriage was sent by the princess herself because there two white stallions in gold armour pulling it. After a ride of about a hour we stopped. “Did we arrive?” “I think we did, let’s GO!” Vinyl said We walked into Canterlot and I was getting suspicious looks from everypony. Suddenly, a group fillies run up to Vinyl “Can I have your autograph Ms. Scratch! Oh please, please, pleeeeaasssseee!” “Sure!” Vinyl said while levitating a quill with her magic. She signed a few things and then Vinyl and the fillies said their goodbyes. “M’kay, let’s move on now.” I said We walked towards a big castle with some guard in front of it. Octavia walked up to them and said something. The guards stepped aside so we could enter the castle. We walked into a big room with a big staircase in the middle of it. At the top of the staircase stood 2 very large ponies. One of them was white and had a moving colored mane, the other one was dark blue-ish mane that was sparkling and a even darker fur. They both had wings and horns...I don’t know why they had both but it seemed better to no question it. “Hello there...errrr...Princesses...” I said as I bowed. “There is no need for bowing, creature.” Celestia said with a soft voice. “What are thou!” Luna said with her Royal Canterlot voice. “Could you please stop yelling, I kinda have a headache...Thank you Princess...eeuuhhhh-” I said before Celestia interrupted me. “Luna, and I am Princess Celestia. She’s the one controlling the moon and I am the one controlling the sun if you were wondering.” “Thank you for informing me Princess Celestia, why did I have to come here?” I asked “You are the first of your species here on Equestria. And you can talk!” “Well thanks I guess...I guess I’ll start explaining about my world.” I started talking about humans, plants and all that stuff. Talked about the way our universe works, what I knew about biology and our technology.” “So you’re technology is based on minerals you find in the bottoms of the planet...I think I might order a settlement to start looking for these minerals. I’ll do something in return for telling us about your world.” Celestia said. She levitated a quill and a piece of paper, burnt in after a while and the flame flew away...just...dafuq “You are now a citizen of Equestria! Congratulations, Pim!” I smiled at this. Luna spoke again...This time fortunately on a normal tone "I've been watching you for a while to be honest...You have been talking about a device called a 'laptop'..." She stepped aside and I saw a little cardboard box. "Go ahead, open it. You'll like what you'll see." I opened the box and saw a bunch of cables, my laptop, my headphones, my subwoofer and my mini-keyboard...FUCK YEAH!!!! "Thank you Princess! How did you get this ?!" "Alicorns are powerful creatures...And please, call me Luna." "Really thanks Luna! I'll send a track over sometime!" I looked at the cables again "Small problem, there isn't a charger in here." "I made sure that you don't need any sort of energy source anymore to use this device. There are some other things I've done with it...Just have a look when you're back home." "Thank you Luna, and thank you Celestia for making me a citizen!" We said our goodbyes and went back to the carriage outside the castle. "Octavia, Vinyl...I'll show you my music talent back in Ponyville..."
Chapter 8: Dat PlotOctavia, Vinyl, and I came home again around seven PM. My hangover died away over the long ride back home. I opened the door and ran upstairs. "Vinyl! Where are your turntables and the mixer?! I need to show you guys something!" "They're in the attic! Wait, I'll show you." And the next moment she's next to me. *gasp* She used her magic to open up a trapdoor and she levitated the mixer and two turntables out of it. "Do you possibly have two more turntables?" "I have an additional six left, let me search for a moment." "Ok thanks! OCTAVIA! GRAB MY HEADPHONES OUT OF THE BOX! I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO SOMETHING!" I ran downstairs and plugged in my headphones into my iPod, and I put on VARIEN - THE ALCHEMIST'S NIGHTMARE put them on Octavia's head. "Mmmhh, this is actually…..quite good….it has a lot of classical elements in it combined with a limited amount of elements of…eeuuuhhh, the music that you two listen to." "Well it’s based on classical music, so you'll probably lik-" "FOUND 'EM PIM! GET YOUR FLANK UP HERE!" "I HAVE AN ASS, NOT A DAMN FLANK!!!" I yelled as I laughed loudly. I ran upstairs to check on Vinyl, and she was levitating two more turntables. "I'll grab it!" I said as grabbed the mixer and two turntables. Vinyl and I ran down the stairs and put the turntables and mixer on Vinyl's DJ Stand. I walked over to my box and pulled out all the cables and my laptop. I searched the turntables for in-/outputs. After a while I found a input…then the output, but I didn't have any in-/output cables. As I always do when I don't have matching cables, I still try cables. I grabbed a cable and tried to put it into the contact. As soon it touched the port the cables in/output began to MORPH! "WHAT THE FRIKKIN' BLARG ?! DID THAT CABLE JUST CHANGE?!? WHAT THE- ZOMG AAHHHH HERP DERP!!!!" and then I did a table flip gesture. I grabbed the laptop and put it on a free spot on the table, instead the morphed cables and turned on the laptop. *DUUUUUUUNNNN* "HELL YEAH IT FRIKKIN' WORKS" and I started to jump around because of joy…JOY SO MUCH JOY (In Ben's name! "JELLO PUDDING!" -The Producer) The desktop appeared and the automated option of launching Skype when I logged in still worked. I typed 'Traktor' into Spotlight and elected 'Traktor.app' (YES I am on a Mac, sue me PS: Not you Kyle Bucy, you'll kick my flank) *Skype logged in sound* "What was that?" I looked at Skype and saw that I logged in! "OH MY FUCKING GOD! I HAS INTERNET HERE!" I yelled and proceeded to launch Safari….and it did work….what the fuck is going on??? "Well that mystery has to wait, MIXING TIME!!!" I dragged a 'Klapex - Lights' in from my track collection into Deck A to test if the sound worked, but before I started the track I knew I had forgotten something….I thought for a while….EUREKA! MY SUBWOOFER!!!! I grabbed it from the box that Luna gave me and pressed the on button, and it did what I thought it would: actually work. I connected the output cable to my laptop and started Deck A…IT WORKED!!! I stopped it…Time to mix for real, I already knew what I wanted my mix to be….a mix of the newest Monstercat album 'Monstercat 007 - Solace'…So I mixed! Location: Somewhere in Equestria *trololol* Equestrai's First Royal Mine is located about 500 KM away from Appleloosa. Princess Celestia orders the opening on a mine in search for minerals in the bottom of Equestria. Mostly earth ponies work in the mine, a few unicorns and pegasi are also stationed there. Princess Celestia chose a good location for the mine, the area was wealthy,and she noticed. She sent over more earth ponies because of their power…and soon the number of (earth) ponies reached the point that you could start a army to conquer Equestria. Luna noticed this and sent over pegasi to pick up the minerals and unicorns for research. But, the earth ponies began to become greedy over the mineral, they wouldn't give it up… two pegasi have been killed so far, that send out a message going like this 'DON'T. TAKE. OUR MINERALS." Both princesses forgot about moving Discord's Statue to a far away location underground, they didn't realize that the Royal Mine was actually quite close to the tomb…And the mineral greed caused a good bit of discord. Deep inside Discord's Tomb a laugh could be heard. "Mmmhhuhuhuhahahaha!! Fools…Time to gather some friends! HAHAHAHAHAHA" Since no one payed attention to the tomb, none could hear the heavy laughter and the sound of a collapsing building. After a while the tomb collapsed, causing a shock that could be felt in the mine. Since the unicorns and pegasi worked above ground they couldn't feel it, but the miners aka earth ponies did…But all they could think about were minerals, minerals and…guess what ? MINERALS! But the next sign could be heard by every pony in Equestria…A maniacal laughter followed by a voice that would surround everypony "EVERYPONY BETTER PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR SOME….MMMMHHHH…HOW ABOUT SOME NICE MADNESS HUH?! MHUHHAHAHAHAHA" Author's note: There you go! I started the plot, this may seem cliché but just wait…This is going to be different, I PROMISE!!! Only 3 people know the plot so far, well what I have so far. And I hope this was a successful cliffhanger which I doubt it is. And another thing! BIG SHOUT TO THE SWIRLY BENDY SPOONS (Something Epic + friends that writers Skype group) and Gyrofest96 (Doug from Something Epic) for proof reading every chapter before I release it! and remember keep your JELLO PUDDING and Chapter title's away from Ben aka "The Producer" (from Something Epic) I hope that shootout was big enough...BTW, Should I allow SOME dutch into the story, one-liners and such. Now lets end with a YouTube like outro: THANKS FOR READING! DON'T FORGET TO LIKE, FAVORITE THE STORY AND STALK ME (Watch me) BAI BAI!!!!! PS: THE POWER FIMFICTION.NET COMPELLS YOU WRITER'S BLOCK PPS: Guys correct me if I'm wrong but I've been thinking about this, but isn't PBat (PaperbatVG) a brony ?! He liked a episode once and he has references to the show in his rap (ex. Champs are 20% cooler in 'The Ruler') So I might do something with that if I'm right..MHUHUHAHAHA! P, ya' better watch out!
Chapter 10: Wait WHAT!I opened my eyes and saw Vinyl next to me, smiling. I moved a bit when I yawned and saw Vinyl opening her eyes. Seeing her red irises and her big smile...That made me let out a little squeal. We gave each other each other a hug. We smiled at each other again. I really hope this day will be normal. We both got out of the bed and opened the curtains, the sunlight shining in the eyes always wakes people up. “Good morning Vinyl.” I said bluntly while hugging her. “Mornin’. Did you sleep well next to me?” “Oh I slept more then well...” I replied, lifting my eyebrows in a lewd manner. “I’m kidding by the way... I hope.” “You wanna go shower first, Vinyl? I’ll go downstairs to check on Pinkie and Octavia” “Sure, thanks!” “No problem!” I called out as she went over to the bathroom and winked. When we went downstairs, I saw that no one was in the kitchen or living room. Guess it’s just me and Vinyl. I went over to the kitchen and saw the basket of apples. I should try to make something nice for Vinyl and me. I grabbed some apples and a knife. I cut the apples into pieces and poured a little bit of sugar on top. I didn’t have much cooking knowledge, but I did know how to make a tasty little snack. I put them on some nice little plates and put the snack on the table. Then I saw something else... Eggs! I grabbed two and turned on the furnace, grabbed a pan and cracked open the eggs in the pan. Omelet time! I might make some waffles or pancakes, but I don’t exactly remember the recipe. I watched as the eggs started to turn into omelets, amazing progress! You should try it yourself sometime. Anyways, back to the actual story. I noticed that I didn’t hear any water being pumped up anymore, so I’d say that Vinyl finished her shower. I picked up some bigger plates for the omelets, this should be a tasty breakfast. I heard Vinyl coming down the stairs and I quickly grabbed two glasses and filled them with water. Yes from the sink, don’t judge me, it’s healthy! “I see that you made us a nice little breakfast.” Vinyl said, walking into the kitchen with a big smile. “I did, let’s hope its going to be good!” I replied as I gestured her to take a seat. “Thank you!” she replied we both started eating. I did a pretty good job. And these apples and omelets tasted WAY better then on Earth, I guess Equestria is just simply heaven... Did I die when I fell asleep? Nah, that’s impossibru. Anyways, back to talking! There was sort of an awkward silence while eating, mission objective: kill the silence! “Yesterday was weird huh...” I began “Mhm!” Vinyl replied while eating her omelet. “We didn’t do any weird stuff while we were sleeping...right?” “Not that I know of.” she said, slightly swinging her backlegs. “I’m gonna check on Pinkie later on, ‘kay?” “Sounds good, I’ll go look for Octavia.” “M’kay.” I replied and another awkward silence followed, why is it always so awkward! We finished breakfast and I quickly went upstairs for a shower. After showering I went downstairs to give Vinyl another hug... We looked at eachother of a while. Suddenly Vinyl kissed me! “I...did not expect that. But thanks... I guess.” “Don’t ever leave me. EVER.” “Trust me, I won’t.” I walked outside and made my way over to Sugarcube Corner. Did Vinyl really kiss me? Does she feel something for me? She’s cool and all but I don’t think I’m ready to kiss a pony’s muzzle myself. Beeuugh! Better to not think about it right now. I need to check on Pinkie. And there it was... Sugarcube Corner! This place is never going to be the same again after what happened. As I walked in went up to Mrs Cake, which was walking around. “Uuuh, hello Mrs Cake. Where’s Pinkie?” “She’s upstairs, why do you need her?” “I just need to check on her really quick. Thanks Mrs Cake.” “Eeeuh, goodbye.” she said nervously, thinking about yesterday. I went up the stairs and came across a door that had a sigh saying ‘Pinkie’ on it. I went in and saw Pinkie sitting on the side of her bed. Something is wrong with her, she should be spitting in the face of physics! Come on! She's Pinkie! I approached her and accidentally scared her. “Oh he-hello Pim.” she said with a nervous laugh. Her mane was all ruffled and she looked like hardly slept at all. Fuck. This pony needs to be calmed down. I NEED to fix this. It breaks my heart to see somepony/somebody that is important to me crying. I sat down next to her and looked at her. “Tell me what’s on your mind Pinkie.” She started sobbing. I pulled her closer to me and gave her a little hug. “Why do you look so bad Pinkie, see you like this worries me. Alot.” “I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking about yesterday.” “I know Pinkie. It was terrifying...” “I’m scared Pim.” she said after a moment of silence. She did sound scared, even more scared then Fluttershy in a large crowd that is watching her. I pulled her in for another huggle. (SO MANY HUGGLES) “I’m also scared, we need to inform your friends about this. The shit that happend is... mental.” “It’s just... I feel like I need someone to protect me. I feel so vunerable...” “Pinkie, look at me.” I said and I gestured to look at me “I would never let you down or get hurt. No matter what. You’re one of my best friends. I would kill myself if something happens to you.” She started sobbing more and pulled her forelegs around me. “Pim...Don’t let go, please.” “I won’t, don’t worry.” We glared into each others eyes and we both smiled. I hugged her and closed my eyes. Then I felt something. It was soft...wait, no. Is she also kissing me?! I opened my eyes to see Pinkie kissing me. She stopped as soon she realised that I was watching. “Oh sorry, don’t hate me.” “Eeeeuuuhhh, Don’t....worry, it’s ok.” I replied with a nervous voice. I didn’t expect that these things would happen! Fuck! What do I do? What do I say!? I need to get out of here. NOW. “Eeuuh, Pinkie. Gather your friends, we need to go to Canterlot. I’ll go get Vinyl and Octavia...If I can find her. Meet me at the town hall in 30 minutes.” “Ok!” She sounded happy again. So that kiss cheered her up. I went out of Sugarcube Corner and made my way back ‘home’. Well I live there so its home! DEAL WITH IT! I walked in and saw Vinyl. She had a worried look on her face. “What’s wrong Vinyl?” “I can’t find Octavia! Some people say that she went to Canterlot but she was going with us wasn’t she?!” “Well, let’s go to Canterlot with Pinkie’s friends. We need to go order a carriage right away!” “Ok, let’s go!” We walked to the town center and ordered a carriage to Canterlot. I told Vinyl that I’d go get Pinkie and the rest. I walked towards the town hall and saw some good old friends waiting. “Hello eveypony!” I called out to the group and waved “Hello Pim, why do you need us?” Twilight asked. “No time to explain, we need to go. There’s a carriage waiting and I have no time to explain now.” “Wait a moment. Ah could finish ma’ chores at Sweet Apple Acres right now!” Applejack interrupted I took a slow breath... “We don’t have any fucking time right now! All you need to know is that this is very important.” I sighed “Sorry, but trust me. I’ll explain once we’re on our way.” I gestured the group to follow and a few moments later we we’re in the carriage. I felt the carriage moving, time for a explanation. Vinyl started explaining what happened yesterday and then Pinkie began to tell about the red pony. “So Discord is free again and that pony is going to free Nightmare Moon?! We need to hurry.” Rainbow Dash yelled after Pinkie finished talking. “Thank you Captain Obvious.” I said bluntly “We reached Canterlot!” I heard a voice call out from the front of the carriage. “Looks like we arrived! Before we go to the castle we need to look for Octavia!” Vinyl said. “All right!” the group cheered. We looked around but we didn’t see her. So we started to ask everypony if they saw her. Nopony knew if she was here or not. “Fuck it! We need to go to the castle, we’ll look for her later.” and a moment later I hear some singing in a recognizable voice... I went up the source of the sound and found out it was coming from an alleyway. “Do you guys hear that?” The group nodded. We went up to the alley and we all gasped! “Smile, smile....SMILE!!!” We saw Octavia, all grey, no colour other then different tins of grey, lying on the ground with a bottle of Buck Daniels next to her. Completely drowned. She had a strong smell of alcohol coming off her. We just stared... and she noticed after a while. “Wha’ are y’all lookin’ at huh!” and she hicked. So that’s another chapter done! So you probably noticed that Pinkie and Vinyl are going for a relationship here, we’ll I can’t decide who to pick. So vote in the comments who you’d like to see shipped. And don’t forget to watch me because I post a good amount of blog posts (perhaps too much) with funny stuff, links, stuff about the story, ideas, … You get the picture, right? Well, bai bai everypony! The Madgod himself, Pim
Chapter 11: Ain't No Party Like a Mentis Party!“Why is she suddenly so grey?” I whispered to Twilight. “I don’t know, let’s get her to the castle. Maybe Princess Celestia knows what’s wrong.” “All right.” I silently replied and cleared my throat “Octavia, stand up and come with us.” “I’m fine right here.” “Just come with us...” “Nope.” I turned to the group “Would someone please talk some sense into her?” Vinyl walked up to Octavia. Her usual big smile was gone and lowered her head to the level that Octavia was on. “Stand the buck up and follow us. Now.” “Such harsh language is not needed my dear.” Rarity said to her. But Octavia stood up and walked up to the group. The smell coming off of her was HORRIBLE! “Come on, let’s move” I told the group. We made our way to the castle and the stopped in front of the doors. The guards gave Octavia a weird look but let us all in anyways, they recognized us. Both princesses stood at the top of the large staircase in the hall. Twilight ran up to Princess Celestia, leaving the group behind. “Princess Celestia! It’s so great to see you!” she yelled as she ran up to her “It’s also good to see you my faithful student. What brings you here?” “Pinkie, Octavia, Vinyl and Pim will tell you in a moment. Do you know what’s wrong with Octavia?” and she pointed at her She gasped. “All of the Element of Harmony, come here.” They all moved forward and Princess Celestia whispered something to them. After a while I heard Rainbow Dash yell something. “Discorded?!” Princess Celestia stepped out of the group and walked up to Octavia. “Go with them, they’ll help you.” Without saying anything, she joined the small separate group and walked off. “Hahahahaha... Ah, ah, ah! Celly, I’ve put FAR too much time into this plan for you to put your tall little hoovsies into it and spoil it.” “And that’s why we have come here.” I said. It was like I was almost used to it, but both Princesses looked around the room looking for the source of the voice. “Oh, don’t tell me that the mighty, and divine princesses can’t figure out the location of wone widdle wonewy voice?” Somehow it still managed to creep me out. But this was a bad time for him to show up. “It’s some freaky red earth pony with a tri-colored mane. It can make stuff float and grow beards on everypony. Oh, almost forgot! It has something with pizza rolls.” “Floating, growing beards and pizza rolls. You think I can only do that. Pimmy-boy, I have much, much more abilities and party gifts than even that.” Welp, there goes my hopes of having any chance against it. “Reveal thyself!” Princess Luna called out. “Luna, I don’t think that will work.” I said and facepalmed “You’d be surprised, Pimmy-boy.” There was the red pony, standing in-between the two princesses and looking at his hoof. The two princesses almost simultaneously jumped aside. “What? Lu-lu over there wanted me to show up, so I did. Now you’re freaking out like you just saw a nightmare.” “Well you do look pretty fucked up, don’t you.” I called out to the red pony The red pony looked at me with surprise as he lifted a hoof to his muzzle. “I’m not... ugly... am I?” He summoned a mirror out of nowhere and looked at it. It screeched in pain and burst into flame. “Guess I am.” “Well, what are you going to do this time, oh red ugly overpowered pony? Drop a piano on my head or turn me into a tiki statue?” “Those are both very funny ideas, Pim, but I was going to do something before you distracted me,” The pony began as he tapped his hoof against his chin. “I know I said it before... Oh, right! Nightmare!” The pony’s face split into a maniacal grin. Everypony started to back off in fear. “Let’s get ready for a party... Because there’s no party... Like a Mentis party!” Mentis reared up onto his rear hooves and spread his forehooves, massive party poppers erupting from nowhere and firing off confetti and a smoke cloud. “Now everyone, lets say hello to the guest of honor... Nightmare Moon!” Through the haze, I saw Mentis reach his hooves over to Luna’s forehead, and Luna began to writhe as she changed shape. “WOO PARTY!!!!” I yelled... but then I looked over to Luna. “Fuck.” I ran up to Luna but it felt like there was a wall somehow pushing me back, impeding any progress at all. “Hehehehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well Pim, I guess that you’re just stuck with watching her change, aren’t you?” “You fucker! Don’t you even dare do something to her! I will rip your entrails out and use them as a lasso to choke you!” “Good luck trying to find them, I can’t even do it myself when they feel like playing hide and seek!” I kept on trying to pass that invisible wall with no success. I noticed that more and more confetti was falling near Luna. Eventually I couldn’t see through it anymore. “Fuck!! I have to save her! Vinyl! Where are you?!” I heard a faint voice call out my name. “Pim!” Damn it! Am I completely isolated?! “Yes you are, Pim. Yes you are! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Mentis appreared right in front of me. “Guess what Pim? You’re stuck here. With ME. EEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!” I balled up my hands to fists, and they started to shake in anger. “You’ll pay for this!” and I charged at Mentis. “Bad form, Pim.” Mentis reared up again and turned into mist as I barreled straight through him. I looked around and saw Mentis behind me. I shook my head in disbelief. “Round and round and round I go... Which one is real? Not even I know. Hahahahahahahahaha!” I sunk to my knees and put my hands to my head. “How am I going to save Vinyl...Shit! How am I going to save the rest! I need to find Pinkie, Vinyl and the rest and get the fuck out of here!” I stood up and charged into a random direction off into the mist. My eyes were hurting from all the smoke and I could barely breathe. “Are you going to find them? Are you going to fail? Lets see what happens, Pim.” “I won’t fail! I swear!” I used all my courage to continue running through the mist. “How can you be so sure? I’m here, there’s Nightmare running around, and this is MY smoke. What do you think you can do against the Traveler of Insanity?” “I will kill you where you stand.” (get the reference?) I said bluntly as I kept running. I should have bumped into a wall by now. I still didn’t understand what was happening! “Kill me... Hehehe... Now that’s a funny thought...” After running for a while I saw a silhouette in the mist. “Vinyl! Is that you!?” I yelled as I ran to the silhouette. As I got closed I noticed the silhouette was bigger then a pony’s and I felt the air becoming colder... A lot colder. My eyes reached the point where I needed to close them to ease the pain. Suddenly I bumped into something and fell to the ground. I opened my eyes and I saw a black alicorn in front of me. It was looking down to me. She had black fur, Blue-ish armor, a mane like the night sky and a moon as cutie mark. “So this is the foolish creature that Mentis told me about.” I crawled up from the ground and yelled “BOOK IEEET!!!!” and ran off as fast as I could. I closed my eyes again due to the mist. And guess what... I bumped into something else... AGAIN! I opened my eyes to Mentis. Hundreds of them smiling at me with their cracked grins. “NOEP!” “Welcome to Mentis’s room of one thousand insanities! Now, I bet you’re wondering how you play the game, and what you get when you win, don’t you?” I walked up to the closed Mentis and punched it. It just vanished into smoke and reappeared later. “Ah, ah ah, Pim. You’re in the game now, and you got to play by the rules!” “When what are said rules huh?!” I yelled “The rules are simple. Find a way out without breaking the mirrors, and you get her,” He clopped his hooves together and Vinyl popped up next to him. All of him. “If not, that means that she gets to be food for Chrysalis!” “Who the flying fuck is Chysalis?! Nevermind, I don’t even care. So if I get out I’ll get Vinyl and the rest right?” “I said Vinyl. Never said the rest. You get to find them for yourself. Granted, I’ll also take away the smoke.” “Any clues?” “Pim, I’m the villain here. I’m not supposed to make it easy on you. Now shoo. Go.” I sighed. “Damn it,” and started running to the right of the room. It wasn’t long before I bumped into a mirror. I started looking around. The mirrors where everywhere, on the floor, ceiling and obviously the walls. I saw Mentis in the mirror and I turned around. He wasn’t there... “Pim, Pim, Pim... You obviously don’t want to save your friends, don’t you? Lookie here! Vinyl!” He stepped into a hundred more mirrors and made even more Vinyls refract off of the mirrors. “I fucking hate your guts. Go die under a giraffe.” He winked at me. I shrugged. “A giraffe? I can make that happen!” Suddenly, hundreds of balloon animal giraffes winked into existence. One found itself on Mentis’s head. “You forgot the part where you die!” “Pim, I’m insane, not stupid. Besides, I don’t even know how to kill myself, silly!” I walked off, I needed to concentrate. Everything looked the same! Damn mirrors, time to run off into a random direction again. I turned around and began running. I started to think... What if I run into a mirror? Maybe it’ll teleport me! I looked for a mirror that was directly facing me. After looking for ten minutes I found one nearby and made a run for it. But before I could run into it I saw another reflection of Vinyl. Is she the real one? Of course not! “Mentis! Would you be so friendly to stop fucking with my head?” I yelled, hoping he would hear it. I started walking around again. This went on for quite awhile until I got tired of it. “I’m never getting out of here, time to break the rules.” I said to myself. I looked around a bit and got rid of my T-Shirt to wrap around my fist. I punched the mirror with all my might but I it remained unharmed. I tried again and again and again. Nothing worked. “Well... FUCK!” I yelled and swinged my foot against in rage. The mirror shattered! I saw a hallway in front of me. “Now I can finally fucking get out of here!” There was clapping. “Hahahaha, good show, Pim! I was wondering when you would stop confining to the rules and break them. It was so boring watching you bumble around aimlessly and bump into the walls. Now, if you open the door in front of you...” The outline of a door shone like a light right in front of me. I ignored Mentis and walked to the door. Is this a trap? I can’t trust Mentis, but this looks like my only way out. I have to do it! I put my hand against the cold door to push it open. I opened it a bit and was blinded by the brightness. I turned around before entering. “Are Vinyl and everyone else in there?!” “See for yourself.” I walked through the door. It looked like this was the throne room. “‘Ello! Anyone here!” “Pim?!” I hear my name from above. I ran to the middle of the room and turned around. I saw everypony that I had arrived with here. Octavia looked normal again, great! I was actually looking forward to drinking something with her. “What happened to you guys?!” I called out. “We ‘cured’ Octavia, Vinyl joined us a bit later. What’s wrong, you look stressed?” Twilight replied “So you guys don’t know what happened!?” I yelled again “I don’t think so, what happended?” “The red pony appeared! And he turned Luna into Nightmare Moon! We need to get out of here!” Everypony gasped. A moment later we heard laughter. “Guys! Now! We need to leave!” “No! We need to get Luna back!” Rainbow Dash yelled “Are you mad! Mentis is in there! WITH NIGHTMARE MOON!” I responded “Mentis?” Applejack asked “The red pony.” I sighed “But we need to go! Now!” “You’re right.” Fluttershy said “Ya’ see, now let’s go!” I yelled. I began making my way up to the balcony they were on. “Twilight! Where’s the nearest exit?” I asked once I reached them “On the other side of the room.” she replied pointing at the door on the other side “Hahahahaha... Let the games begin!” A voice called out. “Are you fucking kidding me!” I yelled “We need to move. Now!” I ran down the stairs leading to the balcony and the group followed me. Once we we’re on the main floor again, we made our way to the door. “Did you really think that it would be that easy? Hahahahahahaha!” Suddenly, the entire room extended explosively, and walls burst from the floor. Standing on top of these walls was Mentis, in a red velvet suit and matching top hat. “Hahahahaha! Seeing that we’ve already had our little party, I guess it’s time for the afterparty! If you follow the trail,” He pointed with his hoof at the entrance to the maze. “You’ll find yourself at the... refreshments. Hahahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” “Everypony stay together!” “Remember how that idea worked with Discord? Yeah, didn’t think so.” Mentis splayed out on top of the wall he was standing on, putting his hooves under his chin. “I don’t know what happened so I don’t give a single shit.” The group started to walk into the maze. “M’kay. Left or right everypony?” “How about every-which-way? That sounds like fun!” Suddenly, Mentis clapped his hooves together. A bright flash later left me alone in a corner of the maze. “Are you fucking kidding me!” I screamed, hearing the echo a few moments later. Mentis was sitting on a stool, floating in the middle of everything, reading a newspaper. He lowered it to look at me. “No, I’m not. If I were kidding me, there would be more rubber chickens and squeaky ducks.” I sighed. Looks like there’s no other choice. Whelp, here goes nothing. I went left at the first corner, right at the second. And this went on for a while until I lost track. Wait... wasn’t I here before? Why does it look the same as five minutes ago? I kept walking, hoping to eventually reach the exit. And I did... after something that felt like walking around for an entire day. I saw the door that we were supposed to reach and I saw everypony except Twilight. I went up to the group where everypony stood. “I also got out! But where’s Twilight?” I asked Rarity turned around with tears in her eyes. “We don’t KNOW!!!” and she burst out in tears. She let herself fall, and before she hit the ground a couch appeared out of nowhere. “Twilight? Oh, you want Twilight?” I looked up and saw Mentis on his stool. I began to become angry... again. “Give her back you bastard!” I yelled at him. (I swear way too much) He got a manic grin again as he jumped off of the stool and landed on the floor. “You want Twilight back, do you? Well... What if she doesn’t want to go back?” “Wha’ did ya’ do to her!” Applejack yelled. “Oh, little old me? Nothing. I didn’t do anything to dear old Twi.” “And you expect us to believe that?! I would think that you were smarter!” I yelled at Mentis. “Well, I said I didn’t do anything to her. That means no type of magical persuasion was involved,” He grinned and pushed a lock of multicolored hair out of his face. “But, I can be charismatic if I want. Twilight just looked from my point of view, and saw the right side of things.” “Could you give me a brick please? I need something to throw at you!” Mentis had some type of cold glint in his eyes as he talked. “You know, Pim... You really don’t want me to get more involved into this than I already am. You won’t like it. You won’t like it one bit.” “Fuck!” I turned to the group. “We need to go everypony! He isn’t going to give her up!” “I won’t go without her!” Rainbow Dash almost yelled. “We have no choice! If we want to get out of here then we need to go now!” With that said, we all began running towards the exit. All except Rainbow Dash. “Come on! We need to leave!” I shouted at her. “No! I can save her!” she yelled at me, and then she flew off. “Come back!” I yelled at her, but she was already too far off to hear me. I ran back to the group. “Dashie left. She went out to find find Twilight. We can’t save her. Not with Nightmare Moon and Mentis out there.” Applejack stopped running. “We need ta’ wait for her. She might come back!” “She’s not coming back! Think! Mentis and Nightmare Moon have her! Unless you also wanna stay behind then I suggest you come with us.” I replied. She nodded shakily and continued running. We were near the exit, two giant golden doors. Bigger then anything I’ve ever seen in my entire life. “Hahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHA! Fine, leave me with dear Dashie, I know I’ll have some fun with her...” I opened the door and gestured everypony to go. Before I went through as the last guy out, I yelled, “We’ll be back! Don’t even try doing something to Twilight or Dashie!” I went outside and started looking for the carriage that was supposed to bring us back to Ponyville. I noticed that the sun was hanging at the horizon, not moving. Did they do something to Celestia? No, she can defend herself... I hope. “The carriage isn’t here!” Pinkie screamed, with the usual floating-in-the-air thingy. “Then we walk home.” I said with a voice like Leonidas’s. We walked through the city, the city’s usual chaos had been stopped by everypony staring up at the sky. We got out of the city with minimal fuss... Until Mentis decided to pop up again. All I heard first was his voice booming out across the city. “ATTENTION PONIES OF CANTERLOT: THIS CITY, ALONG WITH THE ENTIRETY OF EQUESTRIA, IS NOW UNDER QUEEN CHRYSALIS, CHANGELING MATRIARCH AND NOW RULER OF EQUESTRIA’S CONTROL. NOW... HAVE A NICE DAY. I GUESS IT’S GOING TO BE YOUR LAST... HEHEHEHE... HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Then all of the ponies panicked. Another chapter done! WOO! Next chapter might take a little longer. It has something special included that requires some more work! And I've set a goal for this story. To get it featured once before chapter 25! I'd appreciate if my lovely readers would help me with that! Anyways! Thanks for reading Pim out! *jumps out of imagination*
Chapter 12: Welcome Shawn Everypony!A cold breeze flew by as we walked down the road, back to Ponyville. You could still hear the screams of panicking ponies in the background. The changelings attacked immediately after everypony started panicking and running around in search of a hiding place. Nopony said anything when we left Canterlot, but the silence was killing me! I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out, I didn’t know what to say. I began to think a bit instead, trying to think of everything that happened. Was it really a good idea to leave Twilight and Dash in Mentis’ hand- er, hooves? God, what have I done. Why didn’t I think of this?! Why do I always think about myself in the first place! I can’t leave them behind, I need to go back! I can save them if I’m stealthy enough! I stopped walking the next moment, my face looking at the ground. “Everypony, I need to go back. I’m having second thoughts about this.” I said as I stopped walking. Everypony turned around at looked at me with a puzzled look. “My dear, you said we needed to get out of there yourself, what’s wrong?” Rarity asked me. “It was wrong to leave Twilight and Dash in Mentis’ hooves! I’m going back, you guys go to Ponyville. I’ll bring them home safely.” I said as I turned around to walk back to Canterlot. But before I could take a step Applejack stepped in front of me. “Ya’ should do that, and you know it. You said it yerself. Mentis, Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis are out there! It’s suicide.” Applejack almost yelled. She looked angry... very angry. “Look, you’re all safe. I’ll be back with Dash and Twilight unharmed. Don’t worry.” I replied. Vinyl stepped forward and spoke. “If you do that then you’re gonna be captured, for sure!” I started to become a little bit angrier. “I’m the one who probably got all of this started! I don’t belong here! I’m going to put an end to this and rescue them!” This time Pinkie spoke. “You DO belong here now! We’re your friends!” I let out a audiable sigh. “Look, I need to put an end to this shitstorm! I need to go back no-” Rarity cut me off and spoke. “We can try and stop him in Ponyville.” I was surprised by the answer. “Wait what?” “We could try and stop him in Ponyville.” Rarity repeated. “But HOW?! It’s not like we can lure him out of Canterlot... wait a second. Can we?” I said. I turned around and yelled. “Come on everypony! We have planning to do! Let’s go!” Nightmare Moon was walking around in the lowly lit throne room. She was slowly pacing back and forth between the front and rear wall. She looked worried, even though the changelings in Canterlot are on her side. She needed to talk about her solution to her worries, and she knew who she could talk with. She decided to go have a talk with Chrysalis. She walked into Celestia’s newly-renovated chamber, now occupied by the Changeling Queen. “Chrysalis, I need your opinion on something.” Nightmare Moon said as she walked up to the Changeling Queen. “What is it? Can’t you decide anything on your own!? If you want to rule the night then you better decide on your own.” Chrysalis answered in a mocking tone. “Don’t you even start. You got defeated by two ponies in love! And you had a whole army!” Nightmare Moon replied. The balcony doors opened and a white alicorn with a flaming mane walked into the room. This alicorn used to be Celestia, but has been corrupted by the same powers of Nightmare Moon. Her hair flows about with a wild movement like it was made of actual fire. “What are you two yelling about?” Solar Flare said as she trotted to Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon. “Your dear sister can’t make decisions on her own.” Chrysalis anwsered, looking at Nightmare Moon. “She isn’t my sister anymore. We’re opposites, just like the sun and the moon.” Solar Flare replied. “One shall stand, and one shall fall, huh?” The three large ponies cringed where they stood, the standoffish atmosphere freezing almost at once. “Girls, girls, girls. What did I tell you all to do together?” There Mentis was, sitting on the landing into the room, his trademark manic smile plastered on his face. He stopped talking to observe the three ponies in the room to see if they would answer his question. They didn’t. “What I told you all to do was to play nice. I don’t think that this counts as playing nice, does it?” Mentis got up from where he was sitting and walked forward, his direction leading him into the closely knit group. “I am disappointed in you, girls,” He walked straight through the group, the scared trio backing off as he made his way over to the balcony. “Now... I want you all to make up. Solar Flare, Nightmare Moon, you two are sisters, and you will act as such. Chrysalis? I’m the one who let your dying family feed upon a whole city. Be grateful.” He got to the balcony and placed his hooves on the railing on it. “Well? I’m waiting, girls.” They sighed in unison. Nightmare Moon was the first to talk. “I’m... sorry for this argument.” she said in a hesitant voice. “I agree. Sorry Nightmare...er, Sister.” Solar Flare apologized. Chrysalis just nodded, thinking that would be enough to settle it. “Chysalis? I didn’t hear you apologize to Nightmare...” She sighed again. “Fine... Sorry for mocking you.” Chrysalis said, being a tat bit annoyed. “Good,” Mentis leaned forward on his front hooves. “Now, all of you, listen up. I’m going to be doing some things of my own, you know, PR shenanigans that need to be going down.” The three nodded, silently prompting him to continue speaking. “And I don’t want you three to either burn the house down while I’m gone, or leave it. You can do whatever you want as long as you’re still inside either the city or the castle. I’ll be back shortly!” Mentis brought up his rear hooves to the railing, springing off into the sky over the city. “Tah-tah for now!” The three looked at each other again. “So what did you want to ask?” Chrysalis asked Nightmare Moon. “This... thing Mentis calls a human is could cause some trouble. I have plan that’ll take care of it.” Nightmare Moon annouced. “Enlighten us with your ideas, oh wise moon-pony.” Solar Flare mocked. Nightmare Moon shot her ‘sister’ a mean look, then looked serious again. “Fight fire with fire.” “You know, I did that once, fought fire with more fire. The entire world was covered in fire within an hour. I didn’t think that would work so spectacularly. And for shame, Solar. For shame.” Solar Flare rolled her eyes and talked to Nightmare Moon again. “Could you be a little bit more... I don’t know, specific?” “Let another human go after him.” She replied. Chrysalis tisked under her breath. “And how are you planning on doing that?” “Easy! Just watch.” Nightmare Moon said as she turned around and walked to a more open part of the room. Her horn began to glow and a dark aura began to form in front of her. The room also began to become colder the more she focused. The aura slowly began to take shape of a bi-pedal creature. Slowly the aura began to fade away and revealed another human still on the ground. It was a teenage boy about the height of Solar Flare. He was wearing a black jacket that had angel wings imprinted on its back. He was also was wearing dark blue jeans. He didn’t move an inch. “Is that thing even alive?” Chrysalis asked with a bit mock in her voice. “Of course it is.” Nightmare Moon replied. With that the human began to clench his fists, who to shake slightly. He began to rise off the ground with a look of disgust and anger. She stared daggers at Nightmare Moon like she was a monster... wait. She is. The human pointed towards Nightmare Moon. “You.” Nightmare Moon looked confused. “Me?” The human locked his gaze at her. “You, had to do it again. Fucking AGAIN!” “What do you mean, foolish human?” She replied. you could hear that she was utterly confused. The human clenched his teeth together. “You took me from my family and friends not once but TWICE. When the hell did you get a body?!” “Oh, my dear friend Mentis took care of that.” She replied with some pride, knowing that she had a strong ally. Chrysalis turned around and poked her head in the corridor. She yelled something and a moment later a Changeling Praetorian came into the room, in the edge of the human’s sight. “Grab him.” Chrysalis said bluntly. The Praetorian walked up to the human to grab him by his arm. As the Praetorian lumbered towards the human, his hoof falls were extremely loud, alerting the human to it’s presence. The human, in one swift motion, reached to his right side, pulling out a medium sized object. He turned towards the Praetorian Changeling pointing the device at it. “One more step, I dare you.” The lumbering Praetorian guard simply burst into the air, wings buzzing like an insect’s. The buzzing was cut short by a loud explosion. The human had not moved from his spot, but the device he held had a steady stream of smoke coming from the barrel. The large figure slumped to the floor, a relatively large hole in it’s barrel of a chest showing strait through. Needless to say, the changeling was dead. In the silence that followed after, the ghost of a laugh seemed to resonate from the corners of the room. The human pointed his device towards the corners. “Who’s there?” Nightmare Moon was flabbergasted, her so-called servant had not only disrespected her, but also killed one of Chrysalis’s guards. “What are you, insane? You’re supposed to be my servant, not a stupid human who thinks oh so highly of himself like that other childish one!” “Andrew may be childish but still, I will not let you do to me what you did last time!” the human replied. “Andrew? I have learned of no Andrew. Mentis only spoke of Pim.” “Enough of your games, I am not going to let you harm them again!” the human said while raising his device, hoping they would buy the bluff, due to the device only being a one shot at a time weapon. “Foolish human, there is not only Nightmare here, but Chrysalis and Solar Flare! “Pardon me, but, who the fuck are you two?” the human replied sounding annoyed. All three of the supersized mares shared an eye roll as they picked him up with telekinesis. The Aura around the human flickered as he landed on the ground with a thud. “Let me ask that again, who the fuck are you two?” Solar Flare spoke up. “Think of us as... A nightmare.” They all focused a blast into a tiny bead of multicolored energy, impacting into the human’s chest and violently blasting him out of the balcony. The human, soaring through the air had time to think to himself. This reminds me of a cartoon I use to watch, what was it... Oh yeah... LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN. In response to that thought, those watching could see a star flicker over him. Meanwhile in Ponyville, a loud bang was heard coming from Canterlot. “What was that?” I said as I raised my head and looked around. “I don’t know, just ignore it.” Vinyl replied and continued plotting with Pim and the rest. I looked outside the window and saw a star flickering in the sky. What the fuck? It’s day, is that Nightmare bitch fucking around again? I kept looking outside in hope to see something else happening. On the last moment I saw something flying towards the Everfree Forest. “What the fuck?” I said, making everypony look at me. I turned to them and said. “I’m going out for a walk, I’ll be back in a while.” Everypony nodded and got back to scheming while I opened the door and walked outside. I made my way to the entrance of the Everfree Forest. I took a deep breath and ran into the grimy looking forest. I followed the natural path for a while before I heard another loud bang. “‘Ello? Anyone here?” I called out, hoping for a reaction or something jumping out of somewhere. I looked around, slightly creeped out. The trees looked like they had faces on them... ready to eat my face! “Hello?!” I called out again, again, hoping for an answer. In response a strained voice called out. “Over here!” I looked around and ran to the source of the voice. It came from behind a bush with a patch of blue flowers in front of it. I jumped over them and walked around the bush. There was a human lying there, against a tree. A HUMAN, A MALE HUMAN! Oh, he also had a bleeding leg... wait WHAT! I ran towards him and slided next to him. “I’m here to help! Euuuh, what’s your name? Tell me while I look for some branches!” I yelled while I was clearly panicking and not knowing what I was doing. The man looked up at me. “Pim? What the hell.” “Huh, you know me?” I asked and took a closer look at him. “OHMAHGOD! SHAWN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?” “I was about to ask the same damn thing...” he cringed in pain. “God damn it this hurts!” “Oh FUCK, Let me help you!” I said as I tried to pick Shawn up. He grunted as I picked him up. I walked around the bush and found myself in front of the same patch of flowers. “Flowers... We meet again...” I said as I shot a mysterious look at them. I lifted my foot above the flowers before Shawn yelled something. “Hold it! That’s fucking Poison Joke, you don’t want to step in that shit.” “Why not?” I replied as I put my left foot in it. “What’s wrong with it? It’s just a bunch of flowers.” “It does stuff to you, I’m meaning like I saw AJ shrink to the size of one of them. “How the fuck do you know Applejack?! And fuck the flowers.” I said as I continued walking into the poison joke. Shawn let go of me and walked around saying, “I’ve been in Equestria long enough. But when did you get here? Where’s Andrew?” “Andrew?” I said confused. Next thing you know, I trip into the poison joke. “Fuck!” I said as I quickly crawled up from the patch of poison joke. I rushed over to Shawn and pulled him along with me as we went rushing out of the forest. As I ran out of the forest, I tripped over a root. I threw Shawn away from me as I faceplanted into the fresh forest dirt. “I... can’t... move... a... single... fucking...muscle.” I said as I laid face-down in the dirt. Shawn sighed. “You come into the forest to help me, and now I have to help you out.” he said as he began to lift me up. “Th- ... thanks.” Pim said with a lot of effort. I noticed that Shawn had a satchel on his right side of his pants. “Why...why the fuck do you have a pocket hangin’ from your jeans?” He shook his head. “Nothing you need to worry about for now.” Pim nodded in response. “Let’s...go.” After all the energy drain Pim passed into a unconscious state. Shawn walked while carrying him through the forest. Upon reaching the edge of the forest, Shawn began to have his vision blur due to blood loss and passed out near the edge of Ponyville. “Eeeuuuhhh...My fucking head...” I said as I woke up. I looked around. I was back home, on my bed. “Eeeuh, what happened? I’m hungry, time for some breakfast... or whatever.” Pim said to himself as he walked towards the door and opened it. I walked down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. I heard some... wubs coming from somewhere. I tried to track to source of the noise and ended up in front of the dishwasher. It had something engraved on it. ‘Dubstep Dishwasher’ ...Mmmh, I bet Vinyl chose this one! I grabbed an apple and walked out of the kitchen...wait, someone was asleep on the couch. Wait... I met Shawn earlier in Everfree. I walked up to Shawn and check on him. His leg was bandaged and he looked like he was out cold. I slapped him across the face to make sure he was. Yup... he’s out! Let’s check him one more time! With that I walked outside and came back inside a second later with a stick in my hand. I walked up to the couch again and focused on Shawn. *poke* *poke* “ ‘Ello? Shaaaaawn?” I said as I went for another poke. He reacted by grabbing the stick mid air of the last poke and snapped it. “Don’t. Try. That. Again.” “Eeeuh, Mornin’ Sunshine! How are you feeling?” Pim asked, still suprised by the sudden move. Shawn opened his eyes and sat up. “Better now that I got rest after dragging you out of the Everfree.” “You did what?” I asked suprised. “You passed out so I carried you out of the forest to Ponyville, I guess somepony found us.” “What the fu- You know what, never mind. I need to check how the girls have been plotting.” I responded. “Anyways, how the fuck did you get here? And how do you know Applejack?!” He grunted. “Thanks to Nightmare Moon, she brought me to Canterlot. I’ve known AJ for awhile now, and the rest.” He stopped and started thinking. “Then again Nightmare Moon didn’t actually remember me... What’s up with that.” “Well, I don’t fuckin’ know. You said Nightmare Moon brought you here... How do you know her? Were you in Equestria before?” Pim asked still being surprised. The look of anger grew on his face. “She used me and my friend as a last resort plan to destroy or get rid of the princess but she did not have control over us... for the most part...” “Dafuq? Why didn’t they recognize you. Equestria is Equestria... right?” Pim answered. He seemed lost in thought. “What if there is more than one...” “HOLY WHALE BALLS! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!” Pim yelled. “Uhhh, yeah we’ll go with awesome... I just hope I can get back” “To?” Pim asked. “To my home. To those who know me. Not just a outcast somewhere else.” “Ya’ know... Let’s go for a walk. I need to have some fresh air.” Pim said as he walked to the door. Shawn began to slowly get up and follow. Pim held the door open for Shawn, he went outside and Pim followed him. We walked all the way to the town square. I wanted to know if Applejack would recognize him. We saw her cart and she waved. “Hi Applejack! How are ya’ doin’?” Pim asked her immediately. “I’m doin’ mighty fine, Ah see you and your friend are alright. Who is he anyways?” “Oh, that my friend, Shawn. He was my friend on Earth, but Nightmare Moon somehow got him in Equestria.” Pim anwsered. Shawn remained dead silent. He looked like he was thinking... Suddenly we heard laughter behind us. And not the Mentis type of maniacal cackling either. A/N: So this 'Shawn dude' is my friend and we decided to do a crossover... So everypony check out "Shawn820" mkay! He's a great guy! WHEEEW
Chapter 13: Catching The Moon“You inferior little foals, you face Nightmare Moon, the bringer of eternal night! Run and hide, my little ponies,” You could almost taste the sheer amount of disdain and sarcasm in her voice with the last line. “Because I shall usher in a new and improved world alone, bringing eternal night upon all of you!” She dissolved into a mocking laugh at the end of her little soapbox moment. “Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME!” I yelled at Nightmare Moon. I pointed my finger towards the road to Canterlot and looked at her. “Get the fuck out, NOW! GTFO!” “You foolish foal of a human, you can’t even think about telling me what to do!” The sky began to cloud up with dark black thunder clouds. Shawn began to fumble with the small satchel on his side. “Shawn, what are you doing?” I asked, being a bit scared. “Even if this thing won’t stop Nightmare Moon it still can slow her down.” Shawn replied. “Nightmare... fuckin’...BITCH! No one will bow-” “DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT TO ME, INFERIOR SHAVED APE! I WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF PAIN!” “Hahaha, don’t make me laugh, looking at you already hur-” I was interrupted by Nightmare Moon lifting me up with her hair, bringing me close to her face. “That was the last straw, you shaved monkey. I’m going to make sure that nopony will be-” Nightmare Moon was interupted by a loud explosion. Both Nightmare Moon and I looked to see Shawn holding something up in the air with smoke from it. Wait, what is that... Hold on... No way, Its... A Flintlock. “SHAWN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A FUCKING GUN!” I yelled hystericly. “It’s better than that, it’s a god damn flintlock!” he replied Nightmare Moon dropped me because of the sudden surprise of the gunshot. I took this change to try to kick her in the head. I backed up a little back and jumped...I’M NOT TALL ENOUGH TO REACH HER FUCKING HEAD! Nightmare’s focus quickly switched from Shawn to me as a smile appeared on her face. However, her attention was still mostly focused on Shawn, seeing that he had the loud thing. “Pim, get to work on what you need to do!” Shawn says as he begins to sprint off. “GET BACK HERE!” Nightmare went tearing after Shawn “SOMEONE GET ME SOME DUCTAPE, FAST” I yelled. Suddenly Pinkie pushed a roll of ductape in my hand. “Here you go silly!” Pinkie said in my face. She was gone before I could even say. ‘Thanks’ I unstrapped a small part of the roll, ready to use. I began my chase for Nightmare... fuckin’... Moon with the roll in my hand. “COME HERE, YOU DEMON OF THE NIGHT!” “LETS GO BENNY HILL ON THIS BITCH!” A random voice resounded out into the town. And soon, we had a chase scene that was worthy of the music now miraculously playing into the town. I was chasing Nightmare, Nightmare was chasing Shawn, and Shawn was running like his ass was on fire. Shawn ran to Sugarcube Corner’s front door, opened it and disappeared. Nightmare Moon soon did the same thing but stood eye in eye with me. We stood in a small corridor in someponies house. “Eeuuh, Hi Nightmare.” I awkwardly said. “I don’t know how we got here, but I guess I’ll still be able to do what I was doing before all of this.” Nightmare took a few steps towards me. “NOPE!” I yelled, slapped her in her face and skedaddled the fuck out of that corridor. I opened a different door and smashed it behind me. I was somewhere dark, but I put my hand in front of myself. That opened the door and made me fall out of a cupboard. I observed the cupboard I fell out off... OHMAHGAWD! Wine, rum, vodka! How do these things get here! I grabbed a bottle of rum and ran to the first door I saw. I’ll drink this later... Meanwhile, at Zecora’s shed, Shawn opened the door. “How did I get here...” Back in Ponyville, Nightmare Moon was still running around. She felt suddenly something heavy on her back. She turned her head to see what it was. “‘Ello poppet!” Pim was sitting on her back, like she was a riding horse. He sounded a lot like a certain glass-eyed pirate. “WHA-” Nightmare Moon couldn’t even finish the word before taking a bottle of rum to the head. She sunk down to the floor and Pim got off of her. “Such a waste of booze...” Pim said and let out a little sniff. “Aight! Ductape time!” Nightmare Moon slowly woke up. She tried step out of her bed like she normally does, but this time she wasn’t able to move. She looked around, she was in a pitch black room. She tried to move again, again, getting no results. She tried to look at her body and saw what caused it. She was completely duct-taped to a chair. She heard a door open, and some footfalls told her that some people just walked in. It remained silent for several minutes until Shawn started talking. “So, what are you doing down here in Ponyville, Mrs. High and Mighty ruler, hmm?” “What do you think, human? I was doing what a ruler does when she takes control. I was talking to my subjects.” “Talking with your subjects, or starting trouble with them if they didn’t follow orders?” “Naturally while in a state of power, the one in charge has to... Make certain decisions on how to deal with their belligerents.” Shawn slams his hands onto a table, “What is your deal Nightmare Moon!” Nightmare laughed. Once. Then she laughed twice. She finally melted down into peals of maniacal laughter. This laughter was strangely familiar... Shawn pulled out his flintlock, fully loaded, and pointed it at Nightmare Moon. “Answer the question or I will give you something to laugh about after all you’ve done!” The laughter began to increase in intensity. Nightmare’s eyes shrunk down to complete pinpricks. Shawn clenched his teeth, “Answer the FUCKING question!” Nightmare was completely gone, laughing so hard that it looked like she should have ran out of air. Shawn took aim, and pulled the trigger, embedding a shot in the wall right next to Nightmare Moon. “Next shot, I will not miss.” Nightmare continued to laugh. Her hair seemed to become more... physical and vibrant, and she seemed to shrink, if only just. Shawn seemed to have noticed that... He dropped the flintlock into his sachel, “Games over, show your true damn form, I give up with this nonsense.” “HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well... IF YOU INSIST!” Nightmare completely dissolved away, a red lightning field pushing out, revealing a certain insane red earth pony. “Hello, name’s Mentis. HOW DO YA DO?” Shawn facepalmed. “I’ve delt with a friend of mine long enough to know how to deal with this.” he then turned around and walked to the wall, “Pim! Get the fuck out of the corner. Do something for a change.” I came out of the darkness with a big yellow book in my hands. “‘Ello Mentis, you nasty fuck.” Mentis’s eyes lit up with the pleasure of meeting an old friend. “Oh, hello Pim! Now, seeing that I’m going to play along with this little dream of actually restraining me with ducttape,” He somehow unlooped his front hoof to brush a strand of hair out of his face, then returned it to the loop. “I’m going to ask what you’re going to do to me with that phone book.” “Shawn, come back here for a sec!” I called out. He walked over to me. “What do you need Pim?” “I know how to make him talk! All you need to know is that you need to be the nice and good guy.” I whispered to Shawn. After that I walked over to Mentis. “TALK DAMNIT!” I yelled as I brought down the phone book upon his head. Mentis’s head didn’t even flinch. “Well, that’s the question, isn’t it. What do you want me to talk about? You’ve never really asked me anything. That, and you’re a horrible interrogator.” Shawn Smacked the back of my head, “You ask first then you work the answers out!” “Just what are you?!” I asked. Mentis’s psychotic smile didn’t waver as he spoke his ultimatum. “Hit me again, and I’ll show you just what I am. I’ve already told you what I am before. Simply think, you complete idiot.” Pim thought for a while. “Ah! The Traveler of Insanity! Now explain!” I yelled as I raised the phone book above my head. Mentis’s eye shrunk down to manic pinpricks as he looked at the book. “Hehehehe... What is it, the Traveler that picks the road, or the road that picks it’s Traveler, huh?” Shawn facepalmed behind me. “I WANT ANWSERS! NOT RIDDLES!” I yelled once more as I smacked Mentis in the back of the head. Mentis’s eyes suddenly went bloodshot. “Hehehehehehehe... Hit me again. I dare you.” I brought up the book, ready to smack Mentis with it again. Shawn removed the book from my hands, “Hold it, he is trying to get you to hit him. Careful what you do.” he said while squinting. Mentis closed his eyes and began humming under his breath. After a few seconds, his eyes snapped open suddenly, completely back to normal size. “Now... what do you want to know?” Shawn stepped forward, “Since I am not from around here, as you most likely know... Who exactly are you?” Mentis smiled as he spread his front hooves out in a magnificent pose. “Well, I’m Mentis, Traveler of Insanity, and chaotic evildoer extraordinaire! You get a free addition of never-popping bubbles if you hire me for a party.” Shawn thought to himself, Pinkie would love this guy... “Now that we got that over with, what are you doing down here in Ponyville?” Mentis slipped his hooves back into the wrappings. “Well, the question would be why wouldn’t I be down here in good ‘ol ponytown central.” Shawn facepalmed for a third time, “Just answer me one last thing then Pim’s going to try asking his.” He sighed. “What are you doing down here...” He seemed to have the tone of somebody worn out. “What am I doing where? That last question seems awfully like the previous one...” Mentis trailed off, crossing his rear legs over each other. “I meant more along the lines of away from that castle and your damn minions.” “Ah, you mean the girls? Well, I just felt like taking a walk. That walk just lead me to Ponyville and ol’ Nightie would probably appreciate me extending her sway.” Shawn sighed, “I give up, Pim, don’t do something too stupid. I don’t want to have to deal with what problems Mentis will cause you.” he said as he walked out of the room tired. “Don’t worry, just hand me the phone book and everything will be alright.” I said with a convinced voice. I turned to Mentis and began interrogating again. “Now... What did you do with Dashie and Twilight?!” I yelled in his face. Mentis shrugged. “Aw, little old me? I didn’t do anything to them. I just talked to them and showed them that I could make them much better than they ever could think.” I walked out of the room and walked back in. I had a bottle with a gold-ish drink in it. I took a big swig of it and walked up to Mentis. “What about Celestia? What did you do to her?” Mentis shrugged again. “You’d have to ask the girls!” I sighed. “You’re no fucking use. Where’s Discord hiding his ass?” Mentis laughed. “Discord? Hehehehehe... Discord...” I punched Mentis in his face. “START TALKING!” I took another swig of the bottle. Mentis just kept on laughing. “Did you like cracking your knuckles on my face? I’m stronger than I look.” I put my face close to Mentis’. “I. Don’t. Give. A. Fuck... Start talking.” I started chugging half the bottle. “Do you really think that you are intimidating me. Really? Because it’s more funny than anything else. Like, like some kind of really bad joke!” Mentis touched his forehead against mine, as if he was challenging me. “I’m done with you.” I said as I backed up. “Oh, really now? Are we backing away now that momma’s perfect little boy isn’t feeling his oats against a madpony? Too bad, soo sad!” I chugged down the rest of the bottle that I was holding and looked at the now empty bottle. I swung it at Mentis’ head. As it hit his head the bottle shattered into hundereds of pieces. I walked out of the room. Mentis’s eyes immediately shrunk to tiny pinpricks. “You know you two... That wasn’t a good idea. I’ve already shown that I can get out. I will get out. I AM getting out.” He waited a bit before adding. “Of course, once I get out, I know what I’m going to do. I’m going to flatten everything.” Shawn walked back into the room, “Odd, I expected him to do about nothing considering what you might be able to do. Hell, you just undid the straps just to do a gesture with it.” He placed a hand on his forehead. “Well, he didn’t. You feel like taking a swing at it before I wreak judgement day on this little slice of peaceful heaven?” “Sorry, but I know your more powerful then you let on, and I’m not a dumbass. Are you really going to try and level this place or are you just going to get out and get Pim? Either way I have to try and stop you.” “Oh, I’m really going to flatten the place. I don’t even care if I don’t kill Pim while I do it, he’s just pissed me off now. As for you... You’re different... Hm.” Mentis cocked his head to the side and smiled competitively at Shawn. Shawn squinted his eyes. “I don’t know what you got planned but” He holds the flintlock up. “I gotta try.” Mentis’s eyes squinted hard at him. “Oh-hoho... I think I like you. I really do. I might not even make you into a pile of cosmic dust because of this!” Then, he vanished. Nothing but a little whisp of red smoke settling down into the chair. Shawn dropped his arm, looked down and closed his eyes, “So this is it huh...” “Is it? Or is it just the beginning of the show?” Shawn shook his head, “More like the beginning of the end.” “Go on... GO ON! Find your way for fighting me! I want to see you try, young one.” Shawn opened his eyes and looked up, “Even now, I still am not giving up Mentis... Lets see what you got.” He said with a grin while lifting up his flintlock. “Hehehehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LET THE SHOW BEGIN!” Shawn bolted out of the room in search of Pim. ‘Got to find him fast...’ Suddenly Shawn heard some loud snoring. He looked over to the couch to find me taking a nap. He walked over to the couch and kicked it causing me to fall off. “Ouch. Fuck.” I said as I stood up. “Why do you need to wake me up like that?” “Two damn reasons. One you ignored me and now your wanted fucking dead. Two because you ignored me your about to get this place fucking FLATTENED.” Shawn responded frustrated. “What... Why are you suddenly so... tall?” I replied, totally not paying attention. Shawn picked me up by my shoulders, “Your drunk off your ass aren't you...” He sighed, “Yeah you are...” “Naah, I’m... PERFECTLY FINE!” I yelled in response. Suddenly, there was a few electrical piano chords played. “The fuck is this?” I said to Shawn, and looked around. I started walking to the source of the noise, it was coming from behind a door. The door opened to a mostly foggy room with Mentis standing at the far corner, right next to a door. He began to sing, various musical instruments backing him up. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, We're so glad you could attend Come inside! Come inside! Mentis reared up and ushered us into the door, it opening to almost complete blackness. For some reason, we felt like actually entering... He kept on singing, but the minuet we stepped inside of his ‘show’, he completely vanished. There behind a glass is a real blade of grass be careful as you pass. Move along! Move along! There really was a pedistal, and behind it’s large glass box, there was one singular blade of glass. It was so mesmerizing. Come inside, the show's about to start guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest assured you'll get your money's worth The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth. Mentis suddenly butted in, grabbing me by the shoulders and captivating my entire sight as he continued to sing. You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo. You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll Right before your eyes, we pull laughter from the skies And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies. Come inside the show's about to start, guaranteed to blow your head apart! You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll... Suddenly, Mentis stopped singing and the background music picked up in a solo. He began to dance and do acrobatic stunts midair as he let the music completely flow through him and into the place we went into, the black flashing with random colors, mist rising up everywhere and obscuring my vision as I hear an explosion go off at a random time right as Mentis jumped and disappeared again. After that, I heard “SIT. STILL!” erupt from the mists. As the instruments picked up yet again, I heard Mentis sing, gesturing towards a stage where a guillotine was situated. Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline Will perform on guillotine What a scene! What a scene! Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand to Alexander's Ragtime Band Dixieland, Dixieland! He showed up again, clapping at a bunch of jazz instruments were lying to a pile. Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! See the show! Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool Seven virgins and a mule Keep it cool. Keep it cool. Mentis slid up to me and wrapped an arm around me as he sang out the next line after passing another stage with a perplexed looking mule and a pot of petunias were sitting. We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown were exclusively our own, All our own. All our own. Mentis took me by the arms with his hooves and danced me off into the darkness of the room. I didn’t really try to fight back. Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Soon, I was left by myself to dance and do my own tricks as the instruments started up again. near the end, when Mentis started to sing, I felt a funny feeling of falling... See the show! Suddenly there was a bright wink of light and I wound up in the fountain right in the middle of town, with one little ticket stub titled, THE SHOW: ADMIT ONE. Right as Shawn took the shot, moth Mentis and Pim disappeared from view, the music becoming faint the longer he stood there, as if it were going away. Then, Shawn finally realized where he was. Moreso, where he wasn’t. It was some type of strange limbo where right meant left and foreward meant up. “Hmm, if this is hell, I expected more.” “You really expect me to be the gatekeeper of hell? That place is way too stuffy for my tastes, so, sorry to disappoint you.” Shawn facepalmed, “I meant more along the lines of I’m dead aren’t I Mentis?” “No, not really. I just needed a... distraction.” Shawn raised a brow. “What do you mean distraction?” “Well my friend, let’s call it a science experiment. I take you away for a few hours, and we see what your friends do, hmm? Cmon, it’ll be like the Price is Right!” Shawn shook his head, “You know, I figure my friends are looking for me right now, not this world, but my home. I don’t belong here, that I’m sure of.” “Well... That’s the fun about being a Traveler. We get to go around to any type of universe that we want to, any time, any place, anyhow. So, how about I just trace you back to your universe and see what your friends are up to, huh?” “I’m positive they are trying to find me. I’ve known them long enough to know they would be.” “Well, that’s for you to speculate and us to find out, huh? So what say you, stay in here for the rest of the time I gotta be boring or we go and see your friends?” “It would be nice to see them again, even if they are possibly worried about where I disappeared to...” Mentis teleported right next to Shawn and hopped onto his shoulders. Right before he could do anything in response, Mentis shot off to the universe he was aiming for. Mentis showed up in a ghetto El Camino, and Shawn was in the truck bed of the car hybrid. Mentis shouted from the driver’s seat. “Sorry about that, it’s just how I travel between worlds. Usually involves some type of car.” Mentis jumped out of the El Camino and brought down the back panel, allowing Shawn to get out of the truck bed easily. Then he went back to the front and fished around in the glovebox, procuring a bag of Twinkies. Cantering lazily back to the truck bed, he hopped up onto it and ripped open the bag with his teeth, offering one of the two to Shawn. “This some kind of fat joke against me? Cause I’ll take it” he said while smiling. “Just take the damn Twinkie when the crazy pony gives it to you.” Shawn shrugged, “Alright, Haven’t ate in ages now so I’m up for it.” Mentis shoved the whole thing into his mouth and consumed it in two bites, and just floated off into the sky like gravity had no pull on him, presumably waiting for Shawn to finish his. Shawn finished his off. “So, where to now?” Mentis continued floating as he flashed a smile. “Well, that depends. Who do you want to go see first? Oh, and a little obligatory rule for now, no interaction. You can’t go and talk to them in any form, might cause a time paradox. And those things are one hell of a mess to clean up.” Shawn just shrugged in response. “As said, I know they are figuring out something right now.” “My first question still stands. Where to first?” “Lets see what they figured out to bring me back.” Mentis smiled. “Ponyville it is, then.” Appearing right next to Shawn, he placed a hoof on his pantleg and teleported, yet again. They found themselves on the outskirts of the town. Mentis just trotted off into Ponyville, while Shawn was looking like he just spun in circles for 5 minutes strait. “You know, no matter how many times I get teleported, that still messes me up...” He shook his head and stood upright. “Come on, you’re invisible. Lets go.” Shawn followed behind Mentis, “Hey! Over there. It’s Andrew. He seems happy, so they must have found my way back!” Mentis said nothing as his smile seemed to grow larger. Shawn walked further towards Andrew, “I wonder what scheme they made to bring me back...” Mentis trotted along behind Shawn. “Well, the only answer is to investigate, no?” “Lets go then.” He said while walking up to Andrew and Twilight listening in on their plan. “Hey Twilight! How’s everything?” “Oh just fine Andrew. How is your day going?” Shawn raised his eyebrow, “Nothing? I figured they would be panicking over someone just vanishing... They seem just fine...” He continued to listen to the point in which they just went their seperate ways. Shawn stared forward looking at nothing. “They, they act as though its no big deal. Even Andrew just went about his merry day.” “Well Shawn, perhaps they just... I don’t know, forgot?” “You can’t just forget someone who usually has to force you up in the morning. Specifically Andrew, I have to drag him out of bed most of the time... They just act like, they don’t even care.” He said as his shoulders dropped. “I would say. I don’t even treat my enemies like this. Just utter lack of care. But mabe it’s because of someone else doing most of the running about. Would you like to see a few more?” “Yeah, perhaps it was just unmentioned in that conversation...” Mentis put his hoof on Shawn again, and teleported. “Still never going to get used to that...” Mentis dropped his hoof. “Oh, lookit that, Andrew’s talking to RD! She’ll probably talk about you, right? She is the element of loyalty, isn’t she?” “Yeah, she would mention me being loyal as a friend.” Shawn seemed to perk up a bit but still had a doubtful look on his face. And it was the same. Paltry greetings. Things that happened today, goodbyes. Shawn just seemed broken at that point. “Nothing... Not even a damn word...” He said under his breath. “No, not one. Quite frankly, I’m disappointed in these friends of yours. You really think that they care for you when you don’t get mentioned once during two day-to-day conversations, one with the element of loyalty, no doubt?” Shawn clenched his fist, “Not a care in the damn world. They just left me as though I was just a random damn piece of paper on the street.” “I wouldn’t even think that. It looks like they were probably saying things behind your back. Why do you think Andrew looks so happy? They’re glad you’re gone.” Shawn began to shake a bit. “Those god damn Traitors. They don’t even give a damn!” “You know... if you were my friend, I would never do that. Hell, I was doing ten times better as your enemy. You should really just flip these bastards off and come along with me... Y’know?” As Shawn was shaking slowly, it seemed that his color began to fade. “Lets get out of here. I don’t feel like dealing with these fucking traitors anymore...” “Alright Shawn. Come along with me, I know of a few people you might like to know...” Mentis reared up and put his arm around Shawn’s shoulder’s in a friendly fashion. After they Traveled back to the original universe, the evil grin gracing Mentis’s face had enough power behind it to crack open worlds.
Chapter 14: A Psycho's Rage“Come now Shawn, I know a close knit of friends that you can find yourself in. We all care for each other, and I’m sure you’ll find yourself happy with us.” Mentis was up on his hind legs, walking along with Shawn, using an arm wrapped around his shoulders for balance. “Better than with those who would use me.” “Alright then, Shawn. Let’s go and do the Meet ’n’ Greet.” Teleporting, Mentis brought them to the throne room of the palace. “Girls? Girls. Come out here and meet our newest friend, Shawn! Now, come on now Girls, don’t be shy!” Slowly, five ponies filed in. The dark Nightmare Moon, the fiery Solar Flare, the Changeling Queen Chrysalis, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash. At the last two, Shawn clenched his fists together and ground his teeth. Mentis looked from them to Shawn constantly. “Ooooh, right. You don’t like them, don’t you!” “Those lousy fuckers...” Mentis floated up to Shawn’s face, blocking his vision. “Now Shawn, these aren’t the ponies that you think they are. For one, we’re in a completely different place that has a completely different Twilight and Rainbow Dash. That, and they’re our friends now. Any friend of Mentis should be a good enough friend for you, eh?” Shawn released his fists but he seemed to still have a dark look on him. “I bet they would still betray the rest like they did me.” Mentis just tisked under his breath. “Now Shawn, I know you have your doubts, but to completely show that they are completely loyal...” Mentis turned to RD and Twi. “Both of you, starting with Twilight, tell me why you’re still here.” Twilight stepped foreward, a confident smirk plastered on her face, along with the darkening of her coat from when she first entered the castle. She placed a hoof on her chest as she recited, “My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am here because I have placed my full fealty to my two teachers of the Cosmic arts, Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare. I would never think of either betraying my two dear teachers, and their allies.” Rainbow stepped up after Twilight was done with her own spiel. “My name is Rainbow Dash, and I am the coolest captain of the Canterlot Psyches. I’m the strongest, fastest, and most loyal of the entirety of Mentis’s private air force! Nothing would stop me from following Mentis’s orders, and nothing would make me desert him or abandon Canterlot!” “Feh.” Shawn loosened his look of anger and turned towards the rest. Chrysals took a step foreward. “But Mentis, this is the same human who-” Mentis lifted a hoof to stop her. “Yes, yes, yes, Chrysalis. Taking this time to reflect...” Mentis gestured at Shawn. “Do you see anything that makes him seem different?” Upon looking at Shawn, there was a notable change. He had no form of color, none in the slightest. Mentis poofed on a pair of librarian glasses and a professor jacket with those patches on the elbows that all those smart professors seem to wear all the time. “Now Chrysalis, and the rest of you three girls, take a note. Look at Shawn, not look back to a day ago. As you can see, he’s completely colorless. That means that he’s discorded, completely thrown into chaos. Now, this seems to be a conduit for rage, and about fifteen metric shittonnes of it. I also have him as a friend, so that means that he won’t turn that rage on me, or you as my friends. However, if you dessert...” A loud crunching sound was heard as Shawn cracked his knuckles. “As you could see, you would be turned to something far less desirable than even cosmic dust.” Chrysalis got back on top of her high horse after the brief humbling talk from Mentis, and said, “He couldn’t possibly kill another one of my Praetorian.” Mentis looked straight at Chrysalis with an ‘are you shitting me’ look. She pawed the ground a bit and added to her previous statement. “Well... without his weapon, that is.” Shawn removed his satchel and threw it on the ground. He cracked his knuckles and grunted out, “Bring it.” With an unspoken command, a Praetorian appeared out of nowhere and rushed at Shawn. Shawn stumbled on his satchel because it was right under his foot, and backhanded the guard, snapping it’s neck easily. Mentis picked up the now dead husk with one hoof. “Right. Now, any more questions with you girls?” I felt tapping on my shoulder... I also felt soaked, really soaked. “Eeeeuuuuuuh, what’s goin’ on?” I said very slowly, due to the fact that I just woke up. I opened my eyes to a clear sky... and a terrible headache. I stared at the sky for a few moments before looking around me, trying to observe where I was... I was, wait is this a dream? This isn’t right or normal! WHY THE HELL AM I LYING IN A FOUNTAIN??? After trying to get out of the fountain, to just trip and fall back in, I saw the pony that woke me up. Octavia was looking at me with a look of disgust and anger. ”Just what are you doing in that fountain?!” She yelled. I slowly covered my ears to prevent some sound that was destroying my eardrums. After she was done with all the screaming I looked back at her. “Calm down, I’ve got a terrible headache.” I said slowly, almost sounding drugged. Then Vinyl came into sight, stopping next to her friend Octy. “I think he has a hangover, I know the way he acts too well.” Octy was almost staring daggers at me while Vinyl was acting very normal, like it was a daily thing for her. Vinyl trotted towards me. “Hey, what’s this?” She was looking at a ticket sticking on my arm withot me noticing it. “It says... The Show: Admit One. What is this?” She asked me and I shrugged. “Let’s get you home, you look like you had a terrible day.” Vinyl and me sat on the couch, each of us drinking from our own mug... filled with lovely chocolate milk. We shared a blanket and were listening to some music. I gave Vinyl my iPod and asked her to go into my ‘Liquid’ playlist. She tried but...yeah, hooves, so I did it myself in the end. My hangover was still present, slowly going away. I tried to remember why I woke up in a fountain, the usually only happens to me when I’m on a roleplay server in Minecraft! I barely remember, what was it.... a song... and Mentis! Wait a second... “WHERE THE FUCK IS SHAWN!?” Mentis and the rest of the group were all standing around the dinner table, with Mentis reared up and staring at a map. Unfortunately, that map was for another universe. After a good amount of time peering and pondering about the map, Mentis spoke up. “Alright, I can honestly say I have no idea with what I’m doing.” There was a generous round of smacks as hands and hooves met foreheads. “Well, I got a plan, my friends. Chrysalis, scramble your changelings. All. Of them.” Chrysalis stared at Mentis. “Are you sure? I can use the same-” Mentis butted in. “I said all. Not a quarter like you used. All of them. I want the sun to be blotted out of the sky.” Chrysalis took a step forward, defiance in her eyes. Mentis looked straight at her. “Remember what happened when you didn’t overkill? You had to take your sorry flanks over to me before you could even capture this damn city.” Chrysalis stopped and her face lightened a little bit as the blood rushed to it. Mentis reared off of the table and trotted briskly out of the double doors that lead to the throne room. “Tell them to head off for Ponyville. We’ve got a town to antagonize.” Pacing back and forth I asked, “So, Shawn’s gone, just gone?” Vinyl just nodded back in response, I continued pacing Where, where, where, WHERE the fuck would he be... Until Vinyl turned off the lights. “Why did you turn off the lights?” I turned to face her only to see here pointing a hoof outside, wait, the window is open, and its the middle of the fucking day... Racing over to the window I saw what I least expected. Changelings. And boy there was a lot. The entire sky had been replaced with changelings. “Fuck.” I opened the door and went outside. “WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!” I could barely see anything, but a few rays of sunlight shone through an enormous swarm of... giant insects? “Vinyl! Come here, what the fuck is this shit?!” Vinyl slowly walked outside, asking herself what was going on. Then she also saw it. She opened her mouth but no words came out, she was speechless. “We need to go back inside Vinyl!” So we did, and then barricaded everything. Every door, every window, all possible entries. “What are those?!” I asked as soon we were done with barricading. “I have no idea... Wait, where is Octavia?” “She went over to Rarity this morning. Oh dear Celestia, let’s hope she’s safe...” I sat down next to Vinyl, pulling her in for a hug. “Don’t worry, I’ll be alright...” Mentis chuckled as he trotted down the deserted streets of Ponyville, his plan was working perfectly! Insanity happened, it allowed him to make the most dramatic entrance to his conquest, and he was able to scramble the air units. All of them. Trotting down an alleyway, he made a few seemingly random twists and turns to show up right outside of his final destination, a certain house that has a very familiar human in it... Sneaking up to one of the boarded up windows, he cocked an ear to the inside, listening into them talking about Octavia not showing up yet. It gave Mentis an idea. A terrible, wonderful idea. Focusing on himself, he let his form change to that of the grey musician, and he cleared his throat a bit to make sure his voice changed over. It was showtime. Suddenly we heard banging on the door. “Let me in! Fast! Those things are going to get me!” The banging got louder with each second that passed. I jumped up and ran towards the door. “Vinyl! Help me open the door!” I started moving some furniture that we placed out of the way. Vinyl helped me do that by using her magic. I opened the door and saw Octavia. I pulled her inside and closed the door. I moved the furniture back in place and sat down to catch my breath. “Dear Celestia, I thought I was done for. I was making my way back here from Rarity’s when those... Wretches showed up out of nowhere!” “I’m glad you’re alright, Octy” Vinyl walked up to her to give her a hug. “Is Rarity safe?” I asked “More than fine, she was able to board up her house really quickly.” “Good, any news on the others?” Octavia shook her head. “No, I didn’t have the time to check up on anypony else.” “Well, I hope they’re alright...” I said as I walked over to Vinyl for another hug. “I need to get some distraction for a while...” I walked over to my keyboard and started smashing random keys. Somehow this calmed me, so I kept doing it, but I became bored after about twenty minutes of random key smashing. “You know, they all might be in trouble... We should go out and check on them all, you know?” “You sure? It’s pretty dangerous alone, no?” “That’s why we should all go, just to make sure that everypony is safe.” I hesitated for a moment but nodded after a while. “Okay then, let’s go.” Octavia led us through winding alleyways, simply telling us it was to throw off the changelings. “Are you sure they can’t find us here?” Vinyl asked, looking into the sky as she watched the occupying changelings fly overhead. “More than sure, Vinyl...” Octavia trailed off as she took a seemingly random turn down another alleyway. “I don’t remember that there were this much alleyways in Ponyville...” “Well, there’s always something to learn every day, isn’t there?” She trailed off as she broke into a clearing... straight into that changeling queen, Nightmare Moon, and whatever happened to Celestia. I started walking back, slowly, step per step. “Octavia? I thought they fixed you?” “Hehehehe, I was never really Octavia, Pimmy-boy!” A bright crackle of red lightning, and there Mentis was, smiling like a maniac. “You fucker...” I said as I kept backing up. Then, I bumped into something... I turned around and immediately began backing up again. Shawn stood there, looking into my soul. It looked like all the color faded away from him. His eyes... looked like two black voids. “You.... FUCKER.”
Chapter 1: The Crack In Reality6AM, Alarm clock goes off. I wake up with a blurry vision and turn to my right. "Eeuuuuhh…" I look at my phone, the screen is lit up and playing a self-made Drum & Bass loop to wake me up. I mumble "Euuuh, No i'll lie down for 15 more minutes, that can't hurt…" I try to get some rest without sleeping (don't ask how) but fall asleep after 2 minutes. Luck enough I have a backup alarm to wake me up incase this happens. I hear the same loop and roll out of my bed and fall on the floor. "Aaaww, I wanna sleeeeep" I take a look at the time, 6: 17AM. I go to the bathroom and take a shower for 10 minutes. I grab myself a towel and dry my hair. I go back to my room and look at the time again. 6:34AM. I grab the jeans that I hung over my chair yesterday night and put it on, then I grab a T-Shirt from my drawer, put it on and head downstairs for breakfast. After I eat a few sandwiches I grab my books, pet my dog and head outside to go to the busstop. On my way to the bus stop I walk past the neighbours house to find their dog barking at me. I give the dog a dead stare and walk further. After about 10 minutes of walking I arrive at the busstop and talk to my friends. Me: "Hello guys" gives a hand to everyone Friend 1 (Sean, also my best friend): "Hey dude, how's it going ?" Me: "I'm good" and nod a little bit Friend 2 (Jarrod, a pretty good friend that lives nearby): "Yesterday night, Skype, That was hilarious with that Brazilian guy right ?!" Me: "It sure was!" and laugh Sean: "So what games did you play yesterday ?" Me: "I don't always play games you know" and i give him a blank stare Sean: sighs "Dudeeee….." and gives me a dead stare Me: "Let stop talking for a minute because bus is nearly here and I wanna have some seats!" (Yes I know this conversation is boring but this is as realistic as it can get, ITS THAT BORING IRL!) The bus arrives at the busstop so me and my friends continue our talk inside. After about talking for 30 minutes we arrive at school, when I left at home the sky was clear, now its raining and there's dark clouds coming towards the school domain, looks like its going to a rainy day. Then the youth prison called "school" starts and we head inside. A whole schooldays full of being laughed at, getting bad grades, not paying attention. Nothing unusual but still unmotivating. After another bus ride home I throw my bag against the wall and sigh. I go to my laptop and turn on Skype and some games. After talking and gaming for about 2 hours I get a call from my mother that she's out of town for 2 days…looks like I'm home alone again. That cheers me up a little bit because I could stay up later then I normally could and Skype with some friends from across the world and record some gameplay for my YouTube channel. When i'm not recording, gaming or Skyping I produce music and DJ for fun. My good friends knew I could make it as a professional producer or DJ when I become adult, other laugh in my face when I say that. I could only count on friends for cheering me up because my parents aren't so different. After an evening of gaming and such I grow tired and head upstairs to go to bed. Sometime I don't even bother brushing my teeth because I'm so exhausted. This is my boring unsuccessful life. Hoping that my dreams would become reality I listen to the same song over and over again until I fall asleep (This is the track I'm talking about), knowing that I will probably never get the chance to make my dreams reality I give up everything people say that's important to get a job and make a living and such. Next day I get up still very tired and sleepy to do the same routine again. Get up, shower, get dressed, eat and leave for school. Same kind of conversation at the busstop again. Same conversation have the same talk IN the bus again. Once more its raining when we arrive at school. But this time the day is going to be a little different. After having 2 hours of chemistry we head out for math. After class started I tried my best to keep up with the teacher but yesterday evening ended a little too late. After trying to stay awake for about 50 minutes my mind gives up and I slowly fall asleep. As I fall asleep I slowly hear the teacher's voice fade away but hear a different voice mumbling something from far away. When I was finally asleep I started dreaming about me doing what I like to do. The voice also starts to fade away… and I start dreaming about music, music and more music. That's all I ever dreamt about, but somehow this was different. It had something special, something new….it had a spark to it…. Suddenly I wake up, Class is still going but I feel the floor collapsing beneath me. I look under my chair and I see cracks in the floor. The next thing I know, I'm falling in a black hole, falling. Everywhere I looked was just a black void…Then a blinding light approaches me and starts whispering. "Come with me, touch me and I will guide you to a better place..." All I could think of was "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!" Then the light started whispering again, repeating the same thing it said before. After a while I gave in. "Ok, but there's one more thing to do" Slowly I slow down and all of the sudden I'm back on my chair in class. I grab the biggest book that I have and grab a big pen. I simply wrote "DERP" on it and threw it at the teacher. Everyone in class quickly looked at me but before any of them could react or even laugh, they saw me falling through the floor again screaming "TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!" After falling for another minute the light approaches me again and asks me "Are you ready ?" I nod and touch the light. It starts shining brighter and brighter and brighter, blinding me! Suddenly I wake up and I see a old ruin… "Eeeuuuuuhhhhh…." After realizing that I'm in a completely unknown place I start saying "W- w-w- Wh- Wha- Whaaaaaat ? Light-y thingy where are you ?!" Suddenly I see 6 things walking in the distance. I couldn't really see clearly because my vision was a bit blurry. I rub my eyes and take a better look, and they appear to be heavily colored. Following my instinct I get up as quickly as I can and run over to them. Coming closer and closer I see that these "creatures" are small horses…or ponies… Then I stand still and take a closer look, 5 of them we're wearing amulets and 1 was wearing a crown of some sort. Without realizing it I yell. "WHAT THE FU-" Suddenly a pony turns around, it was a blue pony with a rainbow mane. She looked at me and said something to the other ponies, then all turned around and looked at me. I startled saying "Oh Shi-" Suddenly the one with the rainbow mane dashed at me (see what i did there :3 ) right in my face which startled me and made me trip over a tiny rock . I was lying on the ground and there is a blue pony with a rainbow mane above me yelling something at me. Only after a few seconds I could comprend what it was yelling at me. "What are you!" 'Ello everypony! So this the first chapter of mah story. You might like it, you can hate it, can think it was a little bit meh or cliché...Just get to chapter 9 and stuff gets interesting. Enjoyable actually. If you plan on following this story, make sure to fav or watch me since I post a shitton of blog with some funny stuff, tips, hints, story stuff, etc. Anyways, thanks for reading! The Madgod himself, Pim
Chapter 9: Ooooh, Insanity!I heard laughter, laughter so loud that I could hear it over the speakers. “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT!” I ran outside and heard another laugh, somehow different. Naturally, I started to panic. After a few minutes I heard even more maniacal laughter... But it wasn’t the same as before. This one was WAY more maniacal. I started to look around, trying to find the source of the laughter. I knew I wasn’t going to find it. “Hahahaha...” More laughter, need to run! What is going on today, two different laughs that were crazy as hell? That, along with the fact that I can’t find where they were coming from. I ran to the center of town. When I arrived there I was sorta relieved, I didn’t hear any more laughing. I went back home, didn’t want anyone to get worried about where I was. After running back I saw Octavia in the doorway looking worried. “Did you hear that too? That laugh! Terrifying, just terrifying!” she said when I came in. “I heard it, but did you hear the other laugh too ?” I asked. “Eeeeuuuhhh, Other...laugh ? Sorry, I don’t know what you are talking about.” “AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HEAD THE OTHER LAUGH ? AM I GOING INSANE?" “Going insane isn’t all that bad, you know... Hehehehehe...” “Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!” I screamed as I heard the voice. I sat down on the floor and my body started shaking. “What is happening...” I said with a shaky voice. “Why are you on the ground?” a voice said. I started to look around and saw Pinkie standing in the doorway. “Pinkie!” I yelled as I ran up to her and gave her the biggest hug a pony has ever had experienced. She laughed after a while and I let go. “What’s wrong silly?” “I don’t know! I keep hea- never mind, I just need a distraction. Can I come over to Sugarcube Corner for awhile?” “Awh, someone’s leaving little old me alone?” I heard the voice again, but tried my best to ignore it. “Eeeuuhh, come on Pinkie, lets go.” We talked a bit on the so I could stop thinking about the voice that has been talking to me, and only me! “Have you even ridden a boar backwards while baking a cake? Hardest thing to do.” “Aww shit. Please, just please leave me alone will ya’” I mumbled under my breath “Hmm... Nah. I like talking to you too much.” My eyes spread as I heard this! FUUUUUUUUUUU, the only thing I could think. “What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuuuuuck! Just leave me alone, fuck with my mind later but now I just want some cupcakes!” “Then eat your cupcakes. It’s not like I’m taking control of your body or anything... Actually, I just might...” “Pinkie, could we keep talking, please? I’m, errrrr... bored.” “Fine, tune me out. It’s not like I have knowledge of some of the most annoying songs known to mankind or anything...” FUCK! It knew stuff about Earth... Lets just hope it doesn’t start humming Carameldansen (don't hate me, I just hate the synth) or something. Or frikkin’ One Direction! Oh god no, why am I thinking this. I’m dumb. “I just met you... And this is crazy... But here’s my number, so call me maybe?“ “Fuck no! Oh shit did I just scream this?” I obviously scream and got a ‘What’s wrong silly?’ look from Pinkie. “You HAVE been screaming a bit, Pimmy-boy.” How did he know my nickname! Shitshitshithitshiiiiiit! Please go, please go, please GO! “Please just ignore me Pinkie... I’m having some troubles.” “You know, groveling isn’t gonna help you here. I got a half of a mind just to show up and smack you silly, boy. With a rubber chicken. Who has the name of Bob the cluckinator.” Wait he’s going to show up? I need to hide as soon as I get to Sugarcube Corner... If I even get there without running away or getting knocked out. “I’m a magical voice in your head, Pim. You seem to forget that hiding from a voice IN YOUR HEAD would be impossible. Unless you could remove your brain somehow. I would pay money to see someone remove their brain and continue to live.” Idea! Get rid of my brain... No wait, that would make me die. I’m just dumb, but how do I solve this? Knock myself out? And with that I ran up to a tree and started bumping head against it. That would eventually do the trick. “Well, if you’re going to be intimate with a tree, be my guest. How about you get its name first? Take her out for dinner, see a movie, you know. Make her feel loved.” I smiled at this. If this was the humor this ‘thing’ had then I somehow couldn’t hate him that much. Don’t get me wrong, I still dislike him speaking to me in my head. Suddenly, I felt my body acting on its own. I walked up to the tree and hugged it, yelling, “TREE! BY MAH WAIFU!” I wiped my face all over it, and pulled my head back one more time. “KISSU-KISSU!” “Sorry, couldn’t resist.” Before kissing it I felt my head being grabbed by something. “Pim! Stop!” And suddenly Pinkie stood in front of me, “catching” my KISSU! “Ohai Pinkie. How’re you doing?” There was a short pause as Pinkie’s eyes widened a bit. “Pinkie, what’s wrong?” “Oh, same-old, same old. I just got into this guys head and it’s pretty fun, to say the least.” “Pim! Help me!” Pinkie screamed as her tail started tingling. “You know Pinkie, I expected you to be just a bit more fun this universe.The one I’m in would’ve LOVED for a chance to prank somepony like this, you know?” Oh no, it got her too! FUUUUUU! Ok, how do I solve this? “Actually, I’m gonna go and make a hoagie... Have fun you two~” “Pim, did you just hear a voice?” she yelled. “I did! Let’s get to Sugarcube Corner! And fast!” After saying that we ran as fast as we could and arrived at Sugarcube Corner, panting of course. “I need a snack, you have some cupcakes here?” “I do, let me get those really quick.” I went over to a random table, and guess who’s there! Vinyl and Octavia, shit... Hope it doesn’t get them. “Hi everypony!” I said as I saw Pinkie trotting towards me. “In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room All the birds sing words and the flowers croon In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room” I started giggling, receiving a weird look from everypony except Pinkie. “What’s wrong Pim? You’re acting all weird and stuff.” Vinyl said. “Ah, this is the charming Vinyl Scratch and Octavia. Hm... I know~!” “Me! Weird! Hahaha...” I started laughing nervously. “Ah, for poor Octy, the nastiest-ass techno I could find, and for Vinyl, we got a fully orchestral piece. To them, it’ll be just like when you get a song stuck in your head... Lets watch ‘em squirm!” “Oh fuck no!” I mumbled Suddenly Vinyl and Octavia slowly started to give themselves small punches to their head. “Aaaah! Why do I hear this shitty classical whining?” “Well, I am hearing your annoying Techno! Please turn it off!” Me and Pinkie looked at eachother and both said: “Not them!” “Hahahahaha, YES, THEM!” Ok, thinking level zero! I’m gonna derp anyways... I jumped on the table and yelled: “BEGONE DEMON! THE POWER OF CUPCAKES COMPELLS YOU! I’LL WAFFLE YOU!” “Really? Oh, wait, that’s my cue... Ahem.” Suddenly, all four of us floated from our chairs, speaking in some kind of diabolist voice. “YOU THINK THAT THE POWERS OF CUPCAKES AND THE BELGIAN PROMISE OF A DEATH IN MY SLEEP SHALL DETER ME, PIM? DO NOT TAKE THE THREATS OF THE VOICE INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD LIGHTLY, FOR THE CONTROL OVER YOUR BODIES IS ABSOLUTE. THYNE FUTURES ARE SEALED, THYNE SOULS ARE TAINTED, AND THYNE BRAIN IS SLOW. DISPAIR.” Having my consciousness back, I saw our group floating in the air and a terrified group of ponies staring at us with a open mouth. WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. How long is this going to last? Why did all of this start with me? WHY! “Well, you’re either going mad and exhibiting magical tendencies, you’re being haunted by a devil, or someone crazy is somehow tapping into your mind. It’s going to last as long as I please, and it’s happening to you first because I was bored. Good enough?” “Could we please get a introduction again before we all start derping around again?” I mumbled under my breath while sighing “One, get a bluetooth. People won’t think that you’re completely bonkers. Oh wait, I forgot that you live in Equestria! Silly me. Two, Nah. Don’t feel like it." “You son of a bitch...” I tried one more thing... “Panda in a rollercoaster with a chicken with a pully! HA! Mindfucked!” I yelled, still getting looks from everypony. “Nyet. Komono Dragon in a toaster with its friends while riding a unicycle backwards with a box of rabid weasels.” “Mmmmh, good one, I’ll give you that. Looks like confusing you won’t work. Let’s just wait it out then.” “One does not simply walk into Mordor, and one does not simply ‘wait me out’. It’s like trying to make chicken salad without chicken." “Well fuck, I’m out of options! Can’t we make a deal or something?” “Well, that depends. You got any hot pockets?” I searched my pockets, Nope! Nothing. “Well, I suppose you can’t go to my home back on Earth and get some out of the kitchen?” “I can jump around any universe you can think, but no. Mainly because I’m already here, and I’m too lazy to do anything else.” “Feel free to change your mind. Nothing is stopping you. But I think you should make a appreance... A physical one.” “Himm? Why would you want that? If anything else, I would be derping around with you guys more.” “What is happening!” Pinkie yelled as she slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was floating with the whole group. “Well, its kinda obvious, we’re being controlled by this mad thing that is making us float in the air at the moment.” I said as it was a normal thing. “Uuuh guys, why ar-” Vinyl said before being cut off by Octavia. “Why are we floating! Vinyl are you doing this?! You’re the only one with magic here!” “Do you see my horn glowing? I don’t think so.” Vinyl replied. “Girls! Lets not get into a fight here. Okay.” I interupted. “Sorry Pim, Sorry Vinyl.” Octavia said and sighed. “Sigh. I guess that I have to really show up now to prevent you jokers from eating each other alive, huh?” The voice seemed to become more substantial as it talked, and I could hear the crackle of energy right below me, a little ball of red on a chair blowing up into the form of a pony. With a last flash, the energy became real, showing a red pony with tri-colored hair. “Hello, marsupials. Hope you all are having a nice time up there.” “Dafuq! So you finally decided to show up did ya’. Now would be the perfect time for Twilight or AJ to buck your ass.” I closed my eyes and opened them a while later in hope that it would actually happen... Nope, damn you, cartoon mind! The pony rolled his eyes and placed one hoof on his chin while the other one reached below his seat. “Well, seeing that I can levitate people in the air, AJ or Twi’ wouldn’t be able to buck me, now could they? Anyway, marsupials, would you like to calm down so that I can put you down and we can have a nice, civil conversation? Otherwise, Octy over there is going to be the proud owner of a beard.” “Oh what I’d do to see that shit!” I said joking... Bad decision. “Oh really~?” The red pony asked, his eyes raking over to Octavia. “So Octy, what type would you like? Handlebar, full face, Lincoln strip?” I laughed at Lincoln strip, again. Bad decision to laugh. Why don’t I ever learn. Octavia struggled mid-air and had a few beads of sweat coming onto her brow. “Well, gentlecolt, I don’t think I-” She was interrupted by the red pony on the stool. “You know, I think a survivalist’s beard would look good on you...” “Wait, you’re serious about this?!” I turned to Octavia “Sorry Octavia but I can’t promise I won’t laugh.” The red pony pulled out a tray of pizza rolls. Where did he get a tray of pizza rolls? “You know, I should probably wrap this up,” He took a bite out of one of the pizza rolls. “Disc’rd prolly wn’ts ta shee me...” He clapped his hooves together, giving Octavia a huge, bushy beard that almost went down to her hooves. “You’re leaving so soon already? I was hoping to actually have a conversation with you.” I said while laughing at Octavia. Looks like I gotta apologize later. The red pony belched and got up off of the stool. “Well, we did have a bit of a conversation, but really, I gots ta go. You know, people with plans, people with deadlines, me going to have to get Nightmare Moon, that type of stuff. Anyway, Ciao!” He vanished into thin air with all of the pizza rolls popping like little cherry bombs as cover. Our group fell down on the table, well more specificly... On me. Doesn’t feels that good to have three ponies on top of you, feels like when an anvil falls on your chest from ten meters high. That hurts, trust me. I looked around to see that Sugarcube Corner was deserted.I looked back to Ocatvia having a giant-ass beard. “You should go to Rarity sometime to get that removed ya’ know.” She punched me after saying that “Awch, sorry.” “Uuuh, Pim, Octavia, Vinyl, Do you mind if I stay over tonight?” “Not at all Pinkie, you’re welcome.” We made our way home after picking up some pizza rolls from the floor. Oh it has been FOREVER since have had any pizza. The “conversation” at Sugarcube Corner lasted for a good while. The sun was already setting and everypony was going home or closing their stand. We didn't talk at all while walking home, everypony in the group was just too scared, I guess. What happened was pretty terrifying. Eventually we came home and we all grabbed a apple from the kitchen table and sat down to discuss what actually happened. “So this... mad red pony can become invisible, can speak to everypony without anyone hearing it, has telekenisis, the power to summon pizza rolls, to grow beards on everypony and possible more. Great! We are completely fucked!” I said as we sat down. “Well he said something about Discord! ...Discord!” Pinkie said in a dramatic voice. “I don’t know who Discord is but I know for a fact that he’s a baddie! ...You know I wonder if that pony can summon Guybrush Threepwood, I always wanted to meet the mighty pirate. He could defeat the red pony if we told him if it was LeChuck...” I said getting weird looks from that last part “Never mind, y’all know I’m weird! But we should go to sleep soon, shouldn’t we! Somepony is going to share a bed.” “I’ll give my bed to Pinkie!” Vinyl said. “Who are you going to sleep with then?” Octavia said. “I don’t know.” She said looking at me “Anyways, back to the Discord thing. It also mentioned something with moon, what was it?” After thinking fro a while I yelled: “Nightmare Moon! That was it! Now who the fuck is she?” It noticed that nopony didn’t care anymore about me saying curse words. Good. *evil laugh* “She’s Princess Luna evil side! She can bring a eternal night to Equestria!” Pinkie explained in her dramatic way. “She’s a baddie, we need to make sure that we whoop her ass... errr flank.” “I hope they don’t summmon other baddies! Like changelings or a walking army of poison joke plants! Oh no!That won’t be fun at all” Pinkie replied “We need to report to the Royal Sisters tomorrow ASAP!” I said “ASAP?” the group said in unison. “As Soon As Possible.” and received a lot of ‘Ooohhh’ “Well, bed time everypony!” Octavia intrupted “We need to be fresh and awake if we need to go to Canterlot tomorrow.” She said again “Well ok then. Vinyl, made up your mind yet?” I said She put her hoof to her chin and put her other hoof into the air. It looked like she was deciding on the spot. “I’ll chooooosseeee... YOU!” She said as she pointed at me. “Euuuh you equals me? Wait, what? We’re sharing a bed? Oooooookay! I’m not saying no.” I said, giving her a playful wink. kinkeh! We all went upstairs and got to our rooms, yes also me and Vinyl. We went into our room and closed the curtains. “What side do you pick?” Vinyl said. “I don’t care, also don’t think anything weird if I give you huggles in your sleep. I’m kinda active.” I said, chuckling at that last part “I don’t mind, same here actually!” Vinyl replied We both crawled under the sheets and got comfy. We talked a bit more about music, how weird the day was, things we gotta do after everything was okay. All that stuff. When the conversation died, we slowly started to fall asleep, giving huggles to each other. So peaceful... “Oh, Pimmy-boy is fawwing asweep with Vinyl, is he? Well, I know a perfect lullaby for you, Pim. Away in a madhouse, confined to my bed, From visions and nightmares that filled me with dread, the doctor has sweetly inserted a probe, to sever completely my pre-frontal lobe, electroshock therapy, mind-numbing pills, they change my behaviour to cure all my ills, I love the asylum, my own padded cell, I'll stay here forever, for outside it's hell. Nighty-night, Pim. Hehehehehehehehehe....” Well that’s it for this lenthy chapter! Hope y’all enjoyed it and be happy with this for 2 weeks because I’ll be in Italy tomorrow! You wanna say something, Pro? Nope, not really. Well ok then! This red pony is probably going to fuck up a lot of shit! And eat lots of pizza rolls!
