Earth meets Equestria...ok.

"Huh, I wounder what there going to look like?  Or if we can even see them,"

James looks at me weirdly, as I sit on my bed and turn the accent T.V on.

"What do you mean?  Of coarse we're going to be able to see them,"

I sigh, "I guess I'm worried about the opening is all.  I just don't want it to be a flop like everything else you guys drag me to do...  I guess I'm just tired, hell I don't even know why I AM worried about this,"

The T.V took a while for it to have audio, out of nowhere, the sound of a news reporter was blasting on the T.V.  "THIS JUST IN THE PORTAL SEEMS TO BE,"  I manage to turn it down quickly.  But the noise of someone screaming from another room around us came anyways.  The noise was soft but it was heard.  The door across the hall quickly opened and closed, then the noise of knocking on our door.

"I KNOW YOUR IN THERE! OPEN UP!"

I walk over and open the door.  I immediately start apologizing about the noise.  The person started yelling at me anyways, James gets off his bed and walks over to see what was going on.

...

"And for gods sake keep it down!"

She finished her yelling statement then looked up at me, me being the taller one.

"Like I said, I'm sorry, I had no control of it from the beginning.  Now, are you going to continue or are you going to go back to your room?"

She pulls back some hair in frustration.  She looks at me without looking away.  I was starting to get mad about this, but then realised that, she isn't that bad looking.  Almost to say she's pretty cute.

"Huuuh, look.  I'm sorry about the T.V, I'll try to keep it down from now.  And good night."

I close the door and walk back to my bed, I turn up the T.V a little bit.  "Hey James, didn't it say something about the portal?"

"Yeah, but it was just saying something about some items accidentally slipping through, here and there.  It was mostly stuff like letters and one was a cloud.  They said the cloud was strange, the scientists there says it seems like its made out of real fluff, like a very squishy wet sponge."

"Hmm, strange.  Well, as long its not anything serous then I'm going to sleep..."

I lay back on the bed, just thinking of what tomorrow's going to be like.

I don't want anything bad to happen, please don't let anything bad happen tomorrow.  I don't want my bad luck to effect this for everyone.

I woke up and got out of bed, I grabbed my phone and seen that the time was 6:47am.  I looked around to see if James was still sleeping, but he wasn't anywhere in sight.  I decided it would be a good idea to get breakfast right away before everything is gone at the somewhat breakfast lineup, but I stopped myself and grabbed my thermos from my bag before heading out.  "Hey, are you getting coffee without me?"

I turn back to see the girl before.  "No, I was just gonna take most of it before you city slickers took it all or make it worse with all the sugar and flavors you put in it."  I said with a smile.

She giggled and started walking with me.  "So, you said 'city slicker.'  You from south more?"

"No, I'm from Wisconsin.  I never really met anyone from down south that much...unless you count my uncle Chuck and ant Betty going down to Texas for each winter."

"I don't think those are in the same category."  She looks over at me, then just gives my the biggest smile.

"What? You see something you like?" I say jokingly.

She blushes hard from the remark.  "N-NO... its just you remind me of my dead brother a lot."

"Oh..."

It was quite until we got to the buffet in the lobby.  "I was expecting more people here in the morning,"  I say, filling up my thermos.

"Well, we did get up at 6:00, what do you expect? The hole buffet to be gone?"

"sort of..." I say rubbing the back of my head. "Normally everyone is up at six or seven where I come from. Well, yet again, you are city slickers."

She laughs a little.  I look at what seemed like good food from a distance, but everything seemed stale and there wasn't even and eggs or beacon, just pastries and frosting.

"How can you people eat like this?  No eggs? No potatoes? No sausage gravy covered biscuits?"

"I don't know, I guess you just get use to it."

I think about it, and I made up my mind of what I should do.  "OK, I got to get going if I wanna have a good breakfast, see ya around?"

"yeah, and hey."  She hands a piece of paper to me.  "Here's my number."

I give a nod and run back to my room.  I look around the room some more and found james on the ground next to his bed.  I get him up, then get Dylan and his dad up.  I was going to wake Gena up, but bill said I shouldn't.

"So, why did you get even up so early? it's six in the morning."  Dylan yawned as he said that.

"What ever, I at least try to get up before school starts unlike you.  And besides, the food here sucks. All they are is pastries with frosting.  I was thinking I could go out in some parks and getting some squirrel for breakfast. Or at least something descent and you know how expensive eggs are here."

Everyone is looking at me strangely.  "What?... Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to say that, I was thinking of the old days when I was poor and my dad was fired from his job."

"Its OK, It doesn't matter, we'll go out for breakfast, just go back to sleep if you can."

With that, everyone was back in there rooms. I lay back down, and fell back asleep.

"GET UP NOW!!! WHERE GOING TO BE LATE!!!!" I was being shaked violently.  James was the one who was shaking me.  I push him off, I start getting my shoes on, but was stopped by James.  "WHOA! your gonna go like that? You didn't even take a shower!"

I roll my eyes at him.  "You know, your killing me James."  I take off my shirt while pulling out a towel in the wardrobe.  I turn the water on, get my head wet, then do a quick wash and rinse.  I grab a new shirt from my clothes bag.  I put on cologne, then my shirt, then another spray down of cologne.  I get my phone along with my keys.  I step outside into the hallway to see everyone rushing, even the girl from before is outside rushing with her family to get to the parking lot.  "Well, looks like everyone overslept," I say to her.

"Yeah, my brother says its cause of 'magic.' Isn't that funny?"

"Ha, yeah, but what if it's true, I mean I heard that these ponies are pretty weird when it comes to technology, they don't have much.  Some say that there in the late 1600's if you were to compare it to earths timeline.  I also heard They only have spears for protection.  I mean, it could be true, but that's all I heard so far from rumors."  I say, putting all my remaining things in the bag while rushing.

I look over when Bill and Jenna door open.  they look at all of us.  "Well, come on, its starts in hour.  We don't want to be late."

I nod my head.  They start walking toward the door that's down the hall with their luggage.  I turn back to her.  "See ya around?" I say.

She shakes her head. "Yeah. If you can, I'm in the front, seats A2 through 6."

"I'll try, see ya there, bye." I pick up my bags and start walking towards the door.

Jenna puts the car in park.  We all step out.  The lines are long as fuck, but with the passes, we should be able to get in easily.  We start walking up to the entrances, There was a bunch of people with signs protesting about the hole ordeal, shouting things like "Kill the ponies!" Or "Don't let them in!"  In my mind I'm still against seeing it, but again, I got to see it for Dylan.  A guard stops us, and asks for passes, Jenna hands each of us a pass.  We all go through from showing our passes.  The place is huge, If you just look around, you'll see over 50,000 thousand people.  Dylan pokes my shoulder to show me where moving.  We all try to look for our seats, until Bill found out they were taken by someone else.  I stopped him from walking over to them, maybe even prevented a fight.  I look around and find a row of seats that we can take.  We head over and take a look around before sitting.  We all got seated, everyone seemed to be excited about this.  If you look out to the field, there's a giant platform with a curtain hiding what everyone think is the portal.  I just can't believe that this is really happening.  "Hey, are you ready for this?"  I look over to Dylan looking at everyone when he said that.  He seemed so excited.

I shake my head yeah.  "I mine as well be."

The sound of a mic shuffling comes from the speakers located across the fields.  We look to see a person wearing a all white suit.  He seems nervous, but gains the courage to talk.  "HELLOOO EVERYONE! how are we all doing this fine morning?"  The crowd cheers and applause.

"Well, we all know why we're here, and for the fact that At this advent, That the country know as 'Equestria,' will be joining the U.N.  Yes that's right, there are going to be part of the United Nations."  Everyone cheers again.

"But before we start this.  We have some people we need to account for being able to make it and greet the leaders of Equestria.  Please welcome, most of the nations representatives and leaders!"

I was shocked of what he said.  Most of the world leaders are going to be here?  I cross my arms at the thought.  This is aut to be good...

They all walk out and start waving at everybody.  There were leaders and representatives from all over the world.  This caused everyone to cheer again.  They all take there seats and look forward to the person in the white suit.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice.  I believe it's time for... THE REVEAL!"  He runs to the curtains and pulls it down. The portal looks beautiful, it has a swirl to it, and a bunch of different colors, blue, red, yellow, green, orange.  Its just hard to not gape your mouth  at.  I pull out my camera and start recording.

"Now, keep in mind that the ponies are not as tough and mean as humans, so please.  When the event happens of where you come down to the field and meet and chat with them, be sure to be kind and honest with them.  Be sure to answer any questions they have, or you can just have a normal conversation, but that's not up to me.  And please to make sure that you watch for flying ponies and magic, we don't want this to end with people going to a hospital."  He chuckles at the joke he made, everyone seemed to get it.

"AND NOW, THE MOMENT WE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!  THE OPENING!"  The colors and portal starts to change.  I zoom up to where a thing moves inside the portal.  Then a thing pops out, standing.  I zoom up to it.  We all look at it through my camera.  "Is-is, is that a hoof?"

The hoof extends out then another hoof pops out.  They both feel around, Then a head sticks out.  It looks around. then fully walks out.  It was lavender, oddly, it has wings and a horn along with a strange star marking on its thigh.  It walks up to the front of the stage, then pulls out some note cards, but they were floating.  I look at Dylan and James to see if there seeing what I'm seeing.  A little trap door in the stage opens and a mic on a stand starts rising out from inside the stage.  It looks around at all of us, studying all of us, it seems scared.  It takes a deep breath then levitates the mic from the stand.

"...H-hello.  M-my name is twilight sparkle.  As you may know.  We're from completely different worlds.  And I hope that we can work together...  And one thing is that I heard that ponies of this world. Don't normally talk....  But we are a well capable speises?"  She looks over at the man in the white suit.  She whispers to the man, the mic just being able to pick up what she's saying.  "What the heck did you write on this?"  The man just signs to continue with the speech.  She looks through the cards and seems kind of weirded out by them, she puts them down and just looks at the crowd.

She seems really awkward just looking at everybody.  Well, it's not every day that you meet another being from another world, nor over 50,000 and about 7.4 billion others watching to.  "I understand that humans don't see ponies as a species to know much, but we always have the same common interests of you humans too."  She says, reading the cards off while questioning them.

"I don't know if you know us ponies well, but we aren't the only species that live in equestria.  There's griffons, and buffalo, and many different others I could list off for you. "  She says after dropping the cards and doing the speech herself.

"And what I'm trying to get at is, I hope we can all work together on this new mutual bond,"  She finishes with a nod.

"Well, I think its time for, the opening. hehe, yaaaay."  I laugh a little at the sight.  "Its kind of funny, almost cartoonish, don't you think?"  I look to the guys.  I look back to see a band with uniforms and instruments.  The rest of them come out of the portal.  Then the music starts playing.  The band separates and moves to the side, a bunch of other ponies walk out.  Some flying around, others walking while talking to there friends.  and some even waving at the people in the crowd.  This causes the crowd to go wild.  People cheering for the new arrivals.  Everyone stands up and start heading out.  "Hey, Where are you guys going?"

"To go meet some of the ponies.  We got the passes for that too from my work place."  Jenna holds up what looks like a V.I.P pass.  "OK, I'll come with you guys."  I say.

We start heading down to the edge, a guard stopped us when we walked up Jenna showed the pass, then let us walk by.  It seems that there was a lot more people with V.I.P passes than I thought, almost half of the crowd started walking out onto the field.  I kind of step back and let the others do it instead, I changed my mind, but I didn't want them to think different of me.  I leaned against the wall with a kicked back leg against the wall, and just watched all the people and ponies mixed and have conversations about each other, most sound like the ponies where asking about our hands and how we're so tall.  I watched as Dylan's little brother Max pets one of them, it was kind of funny, they seemed to have the same scratch spots of dogs.  I watch as the pony's eyes roll back from the feeling of being scratched behind its ears.  The sight of some of them having wings and flying around was amazing, not to mention they're really making a breeze through the fields.  I feel a little breeze coming from the front of me.  "Hi, I'm Shadow Swirl, I seen you here doing nothing, why is that?"  I look at her, she looked a little frightened when I looked at her.  I give a smile, trying to at least give her a good impression on what humans are like.

"Sorry, I was kind of dragged out here for this event, I'm not much into it, but I was told my dad to "show a good impression so maybe you can be friends with one."  And I wouldn't mind being a friend with one, its just..." I look back to her, she's listening to every word I say, hanging on every detail.

I found it kind of strange of how she's just so focused on me about personal business.  "I've got a question for you.  Why are you so interested about the person biz I'm talking about?"  She shrugs her shoulders, she hums 'I don't know.'

"Don't humans ever talk about personal things in life?"  I snicker at the thought.  "No, if you were to show any emotion, other people would use that to there advantage.  People are always trying to find an angle on you, to use you to there advantage.  If you showed even the slightest sign of emotion, everybody automatically thinks your weak and will never let down on that...  That's a specially for males of this world."

"Oh," She says.  "Then what do you talk about?"

I sit down on the grass back against the wall.  "Everybody's struggles, mostly with money, government and self loss along with nation wide crisis."  She sits down in front of me.

"Wow, I'm sorry, I had no idea that your kind were always having trouble."

"No, don't be sorry, it just makes it worse.. I would like to explain, but all I'm going to say is it's about how people are always stubborn and independent."

She looks at me with wounder again.  "What kind of things happen here on earth for breaking news?  From the way you talk about it, it seems every day has something bad going on, in Equestria the worst thing that happened is a stolen wagon."

I look at her with disbelief.  "A stolen wagon? that's it?  I'm not even sure if I should tell you the things that happen here..."

She looks at me, and she really wants to know.  "Huh, fine, but its not my fault if you freak out...  Murder, assault, terrorist attacks, manslaughter, sexual assault, thievery. In my opinion, the worst thing that happened was the concentration camps in world war two, two million people died from torture and suffocation from poisonous gas along with Joseph Stalin who killed anywhere from 56 million to 62 million.  Not to mention that there is a war still going on that started 15 years ago."

I look back to her.  Her hoof is covering her mouth, her eyes were huge with shock.  "We humans always try to look on the bright things of life, but are always shut out by personal emotion that we never tell other people, without a outlet of that emotion, people are forced to do terrible things, and then people are hurt by that same event.  You see it's all one big circle, and I guess people were hoping for this opening to happen, we would break our ways and start fresh...  I do believe we're going to change, but we always remember the terrible things we do.  The terrible awful things we did... no matter who you are, or what you do for a living, you will always end up hurting someone or do something terrible.....  I don't know if its just me that see's this affect or not."

I look to shadow swirl, fright and depression fill her eyes.  "I'm sorry, but when ever I have people around me like an event, I tend to think of the dark sides of humanity and its evils."  I chuckle to try to lighten the mood.

"I understand, I've always wondered why you humans were so mean to each other, I don't know if you were able to watch us, but.  I never realized that you were so broken.  And you had two world wars?  Like every country was fighting?"  She says.

Dylan walks over to me and Shadow Swirl.  "Hey, hows it going?"  Dylan says, interrupting me trying to reply to Shadow Swirl's question.  I look to shadow, she seems to be still thinking about the stuff I said.   She wipes away the tears from her eyes.  And smiles to Dylan.  "Good, I was just telling him of how clouds work."  Dylan walks away with her, I try to listen to what there saying.  "Thanks for doing that, he always seems depressed and never wants to do things." Dylan said.  "No problem, I always like to help."

So, Dylan sent her to talk with me?  I guess I needed that though... Thank you Dylan.  One thing I would like to know is how did Dylan know her?

I stayed  for an hour or two, and its about noon.  Most people and ponies are sitting on the ground having discussions about things.  I pondered a bit at this event.  One thing I don't understand is that why are they letting us interact with the ponies?  I look around, just seeing this is amazing.  Then I noticed that the portal shifted again like last time.  There's more ponies on the stage, three of them are taller then the others, next to them are some other average ponies.  The lavender one that gave the speech walks from the crowd and next to the other average ones.  The tallest one, with a white coat and hair that floats in a non existence wind looks around at the sight.  Is she the queen?  I guess it would make sense she's the biggest of them all... But what the hell is up with that hair?  Without hesitation, she looks straight at me, I'm looking directly into its eyes, they seem so young but filled with years of experience and knowledge.  I look away, trying not to think about it.  I look out of the corner of my eye, she's stepping of the stage and heading straight towards me.  there's nothing I can do but wait.  She stops in front of me, I look to her.  She was stunning.  "Hello, I am princess Celestia, and you are?" "I'm Kevin, Kevin Mason."  I stand up and hold out my hands for a shaking.  She looks at my hand, then me, probably wondering what I'm doing.  I pull my hand back.

"Its not every day you get to meet a being from a different world, is it?" I say, trying to lighten the mood.  Celestia smiles a little at the joke.

She's just staring at me.  Why though?  "Hmm, I can tell, your going to be a great role model for your race for the events of the future."

I look at her with a puzzled look.  "What? I think you got something mixed up here, I am not in the slightest a good person nor a good role model."

"But things are going to change for you, I know of that, just make sure you guide your family and friends in the right path."  She says, smiling.

The white suit guy walks back on the stage.  "Well people, I'm afraid that's all the time we have for now.  Say you goodbyes and wish them farewell."

The princess looks at me with a smile.  "Please excuse us.  We must leave on short notice."  I wave my hand to shrug it off.  "Its OK, I need to get going and find my friends before I end up being left behind."

"Oh, and one more thing."  She pulls out a small little crystal that's on a necklace.  "Have this, I'm sure your going to need it to contact inportant ponies when you return home."

She starts walking back the portal, same with all the other ponies.  We all watch as they start walking through the portal.  I see Shadow Swirl, she flies up to the portal, but stops.  She looks back to me, then goes through the portal, everyone else goes through along with them.

By the time everyone was out of the makeshift stadium, and everyone was done being questioned by the guards while being searched, it was getting dark.

"Well, that was fun.  But It was disappointing for them to leave right away."  Dylan says.  We all get in our original spots

"Yeah, I was hoping to talk some more too." James said.

I close my eyes, and sleep while we make our way home.
