Ponies in the Stormby RyanjriChaptersStormRandom Encounters of the Pony KindPonchosSofaAftermathNOTICEEyes...HatedExplanationsEnchilada FacepalmStormThe storm raged on this simple June morning. The rain was falling hard, the thunder never ending. I stood in the doorway to my back porch, watching the weather as I often do during storms. I have always found storms calming. Whether it’s the sound of the rain against the roof, or the thunder erupting in the distance, I felt at peace during the heat of the storm. I had just gotten out of my sophomore year in high school not even a weak ago. My parents left for work before the storm had yet to start, and my brother was still sleeping. I haven’t yet adjusted to not having to wake up at 6 in the morning, so I was awake long before anybody else. I just lay in my bed, thinking. Mostly about ponies, but thinking none the less. I would think about the possibility that Equestria existed in some other universe. Obviously that wasn’t true, but I liked the feeling of wonder. I would think about what would happen if ponies were real. Also obviously not real, but I like to think. I lay in my bed, listening to my parents getting ready for work. As soon as they left, I got out of bed and had some cold pizza for breakfast. I sat down with my plate and turned on my Xbox. I signed into Live and went on Netflix so I could watch My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I chose a random episode and opened my laptop. Thought I would read some fan fiction out of boredom. I read for about an hour or so while the storm caught up to my expectations. I never even noticed that the episode finished. I was about to change the episode when I heard a knock at my back door. I was confused beyond all belief. Who would be out in weather like this? Why were they at MY house? And why on earth were they at my back door? I went downstairs, making sure I didn’t wake my brother, and looked out the window in the door. Nobody was there. I was dumbfounded. I turned to walk away, when there was a knock again. I spun around as first as I could to look out the window before whatever it was got away. Nothing was there. I decided to just open the door to get a better look around. What I saw made my heart skip a beat. There, at my back door, were 6 ponies. The mane 6, were at my back door, soaking wet, staring at me with huge, hopeful eyes. I stepped back and passed out. When I awoke, I was on the couch in my basement with the 6 ponies gathered around me. “Good, your awake!” The purple unicorn said with a happy tone in her voice. I couldn’t form a sentence. I was in shock. “Whazza…..whydah…..howdah……..WHAT!” The ponies looked confused and a little frightened. ‘Sorry about that. But, why, how, are you here?” Pulling that sentence together without stammering was a feat all on its own. “Oh, well as for why we are here, it’s kind of wet out. As of how, long story.” Twilight seemed happy to answer. The rest of the ponies just nodded in agreement. The ponies were still dripping wet, so I go up and got them some towels. ‘There, you can dry up now and not drip water all over my mom’s floor. She would never forgive me.” After they dried off, we went upstairs and into the large living room. I went ahead of them so I could turn of the TV and close my laptop. I didn’t know if they knew that they were part of a TV show and I didn’t want to scare them away if they didn’t. I sat in my recliner while Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity sat on the couch. Pinkie was bouncing in the corner. Rainbow was taking advantage of my high ceiling, hovering about 12 feet in the air, while Fluttershy was sitting on the rug with my cat. “Ok your all dry, now, why exactly are you here?” Twilight was the first to speak, obviously. “Well, we were hoping that we could wait here while the storm dies out. Traveling in weather like this makes the whole journey horrible.” “Um, okay, but I meant why are you HERE! Like, Earth?” Twilight blushed a little. “Oh yes. Well, it’s a little embarrassing.” “She was trying to teleport all of us from Ponyville to Las Pegasus, but we somehow ended up here.” Twilight glared at Rainbow, but she seemed not to really care. A little argument was going on between Twilight and Rainbow, but I decided to pipe up before it got out of hand. “Wait, so you can get back right?” I was honestly concerned. “Well, yes, but it’s a little complicated.” “Complicated how?” “Because there isn’t any magic here, at least not that we have been able to find, we need perfect conditions. Weather, time, everything has to be perfect.” I was very sorry for them. I could tell they wanted to be home. “Wow, that’s, just wow. Well, you can stay here until the storm passes if you want” “That would be great, thank you so much!” Twilight smiled warmly. I left the ponies to go check to see if my brother was still sleeping. He was. I could never understand how he could sleep so much. I went back to the ponies. They were sitting right where I left them. Rainbow was sitting on the ground talking to Pinkie. The 3 on the couch were talking to each other, while Fluttershy was playing with my cat. “Do you guys, err, ponies want something to eat, drink, read?” As soon as I said read, Twilight eyes lit up, like I knew they would. ‘I haven’t read a book since we have been here!” I laughed. “My dad has a bookshelf upstairs, just try not to make a mess.” As soon as I was done, she darted right upstairs. “I’ll get the rest of you some food.” I went into the kitchen and looked around the fridge for some vegetables. I came back a few minutes later with some food for them. “Okay, I’ve got carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, apples, grapes, bananas, and what I think is a peach.” The ponies came over and got some food; I just sat down and watched. I couldn’t believe what I saw in front of me. It was dream come true. I decided to strike up some conversation with Applejack. “So, how long have you all been here?” “Hmm, about 4 weeks I reckon.” “Wow, that long?” “Yup” We talked for a little while longer. The story doesn’t end here, not by a long shot, but I wanted to see this would be liked before I continued. I don’t have an editor or anything, so if there are any spelling or grammer mistakes, sorry. Any criticism is welcomed. Random Encounters of the Pony KindThe 5 ponies lay down after their feast, making sure they left enough for their friend upstairs. I brought Twilight her food, only to find that she took almost every single book off of my dad’s bookshelf. I stood there, jaw on the floor, staring at the mess that was going to be the reason I would not be alive tomorrow. “Oh, hello…. Actually, I don’t believe you ever told us your name.” Twilight said with a quizzical look on her face. I couldn’t form words. That’s been happening a lot today. “Um, are you okay?” She seemed concerned now. “I… I’m….. WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!” Twilight flinched a bit when I screamed, but I really didn’t care at that moment. “WH-what? What did I do?” ‘THIS MESS!” I was pissed, there was no way I would be able to clean all this before my parents get home. “Oh, is that all?” Twilight sat up with a smile. Her horn began to glow faintly. All of the books flew into the air and went back on the shelf. “Oh ya, magic.” I blushed a bit and rubbed the back of my head. “Sorry about that.” She closed her eyes and smiled my way. “No problem.” “Oh ya, I brought you some food. I think they left you some grapes and lettuce.” Twilight’s eyes lit up. “My favorite!” I smiled her way and left the pony to eat. I went back downstairs and saw 1 pony where there were 5 just moments ago. “Fluttershy, where did everyone else go?” Fluttershy was still playing with my cat. She really seemed to like Fluttershy, not that I was surprised. “I think they said they got bored and just started wandering.” I couldn't help but daaaaw at my cat rubbing up against Fluttershy, even in a case like this. “Ok, thanks.” And the chase began. Somewhere In my house were 4 ponies and I had to find them before they do any real damage. Thankfully, it wasn’t that hard. Rarity was upstairs in my mother’s sewing room, no surprise, and I kind of just let her stay there. She probably wouldn’t have left if I asked her to anyway. Pinkie Pie was in the kitchen, big surprise. She was just boucing in the middle of the floor, with the biggest grin ive ever seen on her face, not really doing anything. I gave her a confused look. “Pinkie Pie, what are you doing?” No response, just bouncing and beaming. “Umm, okay, don’t make a mess?” I honestly had no idea what to do or say, so I just left. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were a bit harder to find. I knew they wouldn’t be outside. The entire reason they were even here was to not be outside. I searched the house and finally came across them in my brother’s room. They were just standing there, quizzical looks on their faces, staring at him while he slept. I crept into the room and tried to get them to leave him alone. Applejack started to tiptoe away, but Rainbow being Rainbow, decided to try and fly out. Needless to say, a winged bitch-slap can wake someone pretty easily. They froze in place, while my brother shot up in his bed, still kind of tired. I gasped and waved for them to get moving, but they just stood there. He got up and looked over at me, then at the ponies, back at me, back to the ponies, yawned, and lay back down. “Hehe, ponies in my room.” My brother grumbled as he drifted into sleep. The ponies and I started leaving his room, being as quiet as possible. “You two don’t even know how luck-“ “PONIES IN MY ROOM?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?” “Crap.” My brother shot out of bed and ran over to us, intense signs of confusion on his face. He reached his hand out to touch one of them, then pulled back when Rainbow pushed his hands away with her hoof. “Ryan, what the hell is going on?” “So THAT’S your name!” Rainbow said with a sense of accomplishment in her voice. “Ya it is. And Ben, it’s a long story.” “Are the rest here too?” “Eeyup.” Applejack looked at me with a look of confusion on her face. Me and Ben couldn’t help but let out a little giggle. “Where are they then? I want to meet Fluttershy!” “She’s in the kitchen with Coe, but don’t go runnin-“ Too late, he was gone. “Um Ryan?” Rainbow Dash tapped me on the shoulder. “Yes?” “How does he know who Fluttershy is? We never introduced ourselves to him. Now that I think about it, I don’t even think we ever technically introduced ourselves to you.” This is what I was afraid of happening. “Author’s” Notes I’m really starting to get into writing this story. If any spelling or grammar errors are spotted, please tell me so that I can fix them ASAP. I don’t have an editor or anything like that. Any criticisms are welcomed and appreciated. P.S.- I couldn’t think of a way to get this across in the story, but Ben, the brother, is 15 and a Brony. PonchosOkay, another short chapter, I know I said it would be long, but a lot came up today, like a lot more than originally planned. So, here is this... thing... tell me what ya think? After a minute or so of recap, I pulled my brother to the side while the ponies talked amongst them selves. "Okay, no matter what, no questions about anything to obvious. I'm not sure if they know they are part of a T.V. show, and I don't want some sort of cross-reality thing to make them explode or something." "Awe, ok." Me and Ben went back into the living room and noticed that Twilight and Rarity have come back down from upstairs. I sat down on the floor and my brother leaned against the wall. I figured that there had to be some subtle way of figuring out if they knew. I thought about just asking some normal questions and easing into the idea to maybe get them to say something about it. Ya, that should work. "So, how's Ponyville?" I hate him so much. "Okay, Ah think that's about it." Applejack said, walking towards us. "Now, you tell us how y'all know about us and Ponyville right now." I was sweating furiously. My heart was beating at speeds that would put bullet train to shame. I figured I could pull this together. I just needed to choose the right words. One slip of the tongue, and the pastel colored ponies might be painting the room with pastel colored body parts. "Ummmmm" Smooth. "Ummm nothin, I wanna know to!" Rainbow Dash seemed to be getting angry too. "OK, but, you will probably not like then answer." I could hear Rarity whispering something about inter-dimensional cameras to Fluttershy. I just kinda looked at her with a confused look on my face. She suddenly became very interested in her hooves. "Umm, it might be better if I just show you." As I walked over to the TV to turn it on. I whispered to my brother as I walked past him. "Go get some ponchos, just encase." He nodded and took off towards the hall closet. Ok, ive been trying to think of things to do to prolong the end. However, I could just wrap it up in a few more chapters and work on the next story in what I guess is considered a story. Tell me what you think I should do. SofaOK, short chapter again. Honestly now though, next chapter should be longer, I pinkie promise I will at least try, Tell me what you think!!! "OK ponies, are you ready?" I sure as hell wasn't. They all nodded none the less and I flicked on the TV, quickly put on the poncho, and dove behind the couch. My brother following soon. It was at that moment I realized something. I never put on an episode. I sighed as I got up from my position outside of the possible blast/ splash zone and grabbed the Xbox controller. I looked up and saw each and every pony staring at me like I was insane. I just pushed it into the part of my brain that cares what other people/ ponies think when I do something weird. I don't use that part often. I figured I would make this fun. Well, as fun as possibly setting off a living bomb could be. "Okay. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. Guess." More confused stares. "What does that have to do with anything?" Rarity piped up. I don't know why, but I was actually surprised to hear her say anything. "Just do it please." "2" "9" "4" "8" "7" "12" Everybody looked at Rainbow hovering a few feet off the ground. "What? I wasn't paying attention and everypony just started shooting off random numbers!" "Aaaannnnyyy way. The number was 7, so Twilight wins. She seemed unusually happy about this. "What do I win?" "Pretty much, what part of your life you get to see!" Confused stares all around. "What?" I couldn't tell if she was actually THAT confused or just trying to get me to spill what it was faster. "You shall see soon enough." I said that with a grin on my face, speaking in the most overdone villain voice possible. "Miss Twilight Sparkle, if you would ever be so kind, I have another number for you to chose. One, or, two?" "Umm, two?" "Wonderful choice!" Well, neither were a bad choice, but that doesn't matter. Now, pick a number between 1 and 26." "Ummm, 3?" I couldn't keep a grin from coming across my face. "Wonderful choice! One of my absolute favorites. You, however, may not like it." "Why, what happened?" She sounded genuinely scared. It was too easy. "I shall say one word and one word only. Smartypants." Her face fell into an expression of shear terror. "My Little Ponies, I present to you, Lesson Zero." AS soon as I hit play I dove behind that couch like my life depended on it. And for all I knew, it did. AftermathTwenty two minutes later I emerge from behind the couch, surprised to see a lack of pony parts. I will admit, I was a little disappointed. NOT BECAUSE THE PONIES DIDN"T EXPLODE! But because I already had the poncho on, and I didn't want it to go to waste. Anyway, I emerge from behind the couch expecting the worst. I was greeted by 6 confused and slightly scared ponies. "Sooo, what did you think? Was it spot on?" I asked Twilight specifically. She responded with a slow nod, never breaking eye contact and her expression never wavering. "Well, this is awkward." Ben to the "rescue". "So, now that you know that your part of a TV show, let's talk about something else!" About 30 seconds and a face palm later, I looked up at the ponies, who now looked even more weirded out and scared then before. Fluttershy started crying. I'm going to hell. "Ben." "Ya" "I hate you." "Nice to know." I just looked at him with my GTFO face and he took the hint. About 30 seconds later it was just me and six ponies in my living room. I walked over to the window to check on the storm. Hasn't let up in least. In fact, I think it may have goten worse. I looked at the clock on the opposite wall. 1:27. I let out the breath I held in. My parrents don't leave work until around 5:30 and wouldn't be back until about six. Plenty of time to explain. I opened my mouth to explain, then closed it not knowing what to say. After about a minute of pretending to be a fish, I just stopped and stared at them. Cue awkward silence. "Ok, really, is there something wrong with you?" Rainbow said. I was just happy that someone broke the silence, even if it was a pony accusing me of being retarded. "I.. I just don't know where to start." Twilight cuts in. "Just tell us what this is." "Ok. You are the six main characters in a TV show called My Little Pony" Friendship Is Magic. The show is about you six doing... well... stuff." Awkward silence. "And?" "Well, there are 2 seasons with 26 episodes each. Each episode is a specific time in one, or all, of your lives. They span in time from the Nightmare Moon incident up to the Royal Wedding. For example, the first Applebuck Season after Nightmare Moon is an episode. When Rarity gets captured by the Diamond Dogs. Ummm, the Discord stuff..." A look of fear washed over the ponies when I spoke about the discord episodes. I can see that they never really got over that... "Was really the Discord incident really that bad." I was tn the proud owner of six disgusted pony stares. "How could you even ask that! You apparently saw it, you should know how bad it was!" Rarity screemed at me. "Jeez, sorry!" The few seconds of awkward silence were put to an end when Twilight asks the questions of all quesions. "So, who's your favorite?" Again a few more seconds of silence until we hear a faint yell from down the hall. "Fluttershy!" NOTICEOk, well, almost done here, and when this is done, I have more story ideas. Well, two, tell me witch you would want. Another installment of this series (yes this is going to be a series) -OR- An idea I had focused around the CMC in a post apocalyptic equestria. Both will be done, but the one not chosen will be put off until a later date. and before anyone asks, the chapters for the new story will be longer and more recent KK, have a good one -Eeyup/Ryanjri P.S: Does anybody know how much they normally charge for BronyCon? Eyes...The only disturbance to the silence was the echoing of my very audible face palm off the walls. "M-me?" Fluttershy said, seeming to be in complete and utter shock. "Humph" Rainbow Dash didn't seem to be oh so impressed by Ben's answer. Rarity spoke up. "Well that was, unexpected." "Rarity!" Twilight was not amused, clearly. "What?" "That was not very nice." "I'm sorry..." At that exact moment, Rarity was the cutest thing in the room. Very, very sad, but adorable none the less. I couldn't help my self. "Dawww" I was then met with 6 confused looks. "Oh, sorry." "Anyway, that doesn't answer my question." Twilight spoke up "What?" "I asked who was your favorite, not his." "Oh, ya, well..." Distraction, I need a distraction! "Look! Its a Manticore!" Six gasps and then six more dissatisfying looks later I realized something. I never had a plan of what to do after that step. "*sigh* your not getting out of answering the question." "I know..." "So, who is it?" Let's just stop the story for a minute here so I can ask a question. Have you, ever, in your entire life, had six colorful cartoon ponies in your living room asking you to answer a question that you really don't want to? I'll answer that for you, no. Because this is my story and I don't care about your living room horses. Anyway, its hard. Those eyes, drilling into your soul, eating away at the very fiber of your existence. Ripping the threads that keep you attached to this plane of existence. Those eyes... "Eyes..." All I could here is some inaudible mumbling "Eyes..." More mumbling "Eyes..." No mumbling that time, just a loud thump. The thump of my head hitting the hard wood living room floor. I woke up on the couch with my head in a bandage. "Ugh, what happened?" A wild butter pony has appeared! It uses hyper uber hug! It's super affective! "Oh my, I'm SO sorry!" "Can't....Breath....Help!" I saw my life flash before my eyes. Quite a way to go. Choked out by Fluttershy. Can't say I saw that one coming. "Ah! I'm so sorry!" She seemed terrified. "It's *cough* OK *cough* *cough*. Damn girl, you lift?" "Huh?" "Never mind, anyway, what happened?" Fluttershy seemed embarrassed. Like really embarrassed. And then it hit me. "Fluttershy, did you just use the stare on me?" "No! I would never! Well, maybe a little, but not on purpose! I Pinkie Promise" "So that's what it feels like." I got up and checked the clock. "Few, its only 5:55" Wait a minute... "AHHHHH!!! FUUUUU!" I scared the ponies. I do that a lot, damn. "Crap, sorry!" I ran over to check the window. Still stormy as all hell. "My parents will be home any minute!" I lean out the doorway int to the hall and call my brother "Dickhead, get in here!" HatedA few moments later, said Dickhead was in the living room with me. "I'm going to go ahead and guess you were talking to me?" "Good guess." "Okay, well, what?" "Look at the clock." He gives it a quick look before turning back to me. "So? Its six... Oh shit... What are we gunna do?" "Um, give me a second." I had no clue what to do. In a matter of seconds my parents would walk through the front door, see 6 colorful ponies, long story short the government would be involved and there would be said six ponies being tested on and later given autopsy. I couldn't let that happen. "Corral them in my room. It will give me more time to think of a more permanent-temporary solution." All six ponies looked at me with disgust and confusion. "What?" "Corral us? Where not barnyard critters!" Applejack said with a hint of anger in her voice. "Sorry, but I don't have time to argue, now follow me. Ben, yell when they get here." "Aye aye." We quickly ascended the stairs and entered my room. It was a bit of a mess, but they would have to live with it. "No." Rarity said. "No?" "No.I refuse to stay in this mess!" "Well you don't really have a choice, just go pick the least messy spot to inhabit." Rarity, reluctantly, went and moved the clothes out from under my desk. "Huh, the cat likes it there too..." I was getting off topic. "Okay, listen up. There is no way, even if the storm does lighten up, that you will be able to leave tonight. My parents almost never come up here, so just find a place and get comfortable, it's gunna be a long night." The ponies, though not thrilled with the idea, found spots to call there own for the night. Rainbow Dash decided on the large shelf in the closet. I wasn't sure how it could hold her, but I learn later that pegasi really don't way a lot. Fluttershy chose the top of the dresser for god knows what reason. Twilight settled in the papasan chair, while Pinkie decided to sleep at the foot of my bed. I didn't complain, it was just like having a dog. A pink, hoofed, cotton candy smelling dog. Applejack settled for the floor of the closet. "That doesn't really look very comfortable Applejack, you want a pillow or something?" "Ah'll be fine, thanks." Applejack said, sounding upset. "Is something wrong?" "Nope." "AJ, if you don't tell us what's wrong, we can't help. That's what friends are for." Applejack got up immediately and walked right up to Twilight, her face stricken with anger. She raised a hood and pointed straight at me. "HE, is NOT mah friend." She then proceeded to go back and lie down on the closet floor, facing away from everyone else. By now everypony was looking at me with questioning eyes. All except cool minded Rainbow Dash. No, she was about three inches from my face with even angrier looking eyes then AJ's. "What. Did. You. Do." "Me? I don't have a damn clue!!!" Rainbow Dash was starting to scare me. She looked like she had the intent to kill. Thankfully, there was a bittersweet end to the death gaze. "There here!" Ben yelled from downstairs. Explanations"Crap, um, I'll be right back." I gave a long, worried look to the lightly breathing form of Applejack in my closet. Rainbow Dash and Rarity didn't look to pleased with me. I left after I realized I was staring. I raced down the stairs just as my parents walked into the door. "Hey Mom, hey Dad, how was work?" "It was OK, how was your day?" My mother replied. "OK,whats for dinner?" "I'm not sure, what were you thinking?" "Anything will do, just call me when you decided." I quickly ran upstairs leaving behind my confused mother and a rejected feeling father. "My day was pretty good..." He said. As I acceded the stairs I hear the ponies talking in my room. I kreept to the door to listen. "Applejack, what's wrong dear?" That voice was unmistakeably Rarity's. "Nothin." Applejack replied with an angry/ sad tone in her voice. "Bull pie nothings wrong!" Rainbow Dash blurted out, as sensitive as she ever was. "Applejack, please tell us. Were worried for you." Fluttershy whispered. She sounded like she was about to cry. "Well, it's just tha-" Applejack started to reply and then stopped abruptly. I could hear hoofsteps. I wondered what was going on, I wanted to know what the problem was too. And then the door opened and I fell on my freaking face. My ass was sticking in the air and I looked like some yoga buff doing a version of the dog stance or whatever it's called. I looked up from my "exercise" and noticed 5 pairs of shocked eyes looking at me, along with one pair of unimpressed green pupils right in front of me. "Um, howdy?" Bad choice of words in hindsight. "Ah.." she seemed at a loss for words. At least I wasn't alone in the department. Finally she spoke. "Yall know what, I don't even care! Come on in, I'll tell you too" She walked into the room and I followed, completely disregarding the fact that I was just given permission to enter my own room by a orange pony who seemingly had the upper hand. "OK Applejack, I would like to know what I did because, frankly, I don't have a damn clue." I won't lie, I was a bit pissed. Partly because she was mad at me for a reason that I believed didn't exist, but mostly because she opened the door that displayed my elegant performance. Applejack had a hint of anger in her voice too, but I didn't care. "Listen sugarcube, yall didn't do nothin. I'm just a might homesick, and Ah guess Ah just sent that your way. Ah'm sorry." She sounded honest in her apology, which is kinda expected from the element of honesty, but whatever. "Oh, well then, um, apology accepted?" The other five let out a breath they had been holding for some time in a chorus of relief. At that moment the door opened. Enchilada Enchilada It was Ben. (OK, side note, as soon as I wrote that down my brother Ben walked into the room, just thought I would share that.) Me and the 6 ponies let out a breath when we saw who it was. They had been holding there breath for a while now that I think about it. Hope that didn't lead to brain damage or anything. Anyway Ben walked in and closed the door behind him. "What's up Ben?" "Nothing, bored." I just kinda sat there and stared at him for a few seconds. "What?" "Really? You know what, I don't know why I'm at all surprised by this." There were a few seconds of silence before Twilight spoke up. "Soo, Ryan, Ben, why don't you tell us about yourselves?" "Um, OK. What did you want to know?" Twilight pondered for a moment before responding. "Been on any adventures lately?" I just kind of looked at her with a look of disbelief. "You mean, besides all this or, what?" "Yes, besides us." Twilight replied, seeming a little peeved for some reason. "Hmm, besides this, nope. My life is generally pretty calm. What about you Ben." Ben stopped and thought for a few minutes before dawning the most exaggerated face of enlightenment I had ever seen. "Oh ya! So, I went to this Mexican restaurant called Qdoba a week or so ago. It's a little bit like a Mexican Subway, but I digress. So anyway, I got this burrito with about 4 helpings of beans, and it gave me excruciating gas for the next 36 hours!" The ponies all kind of looked at Ben with a stare that seemed to be a mixture of an "are you series" look and a "what did I just witness" look. I kinda just closed my eyes and sighed. "I think that's enough for question time, Twilight." I replied trying not to sound sick as I though back, up until this point, honestly believing a herd of skunks died in the walls. Dinner went by without a hitch. We had enchiladas. Ben told his story of the uber burrito once more, quickly and efficiently ending dinner for the rest of us. I said goodnight to my parents, though early as it was, and acceded the stairs to my room. The ponies were talking in hushed tones and immediately dove in the closet as they heard the door open. "It's okay, it's just me." I said, staring at the closet doorway, waiting for the ponies to emerge. After a few moments, they came out and sat in the middle of the floor looking at me. "Er, is something up?" I was straight up confuzled. "What do we do now?" Twilight asked. "Um, I don't know. I'm going to bed, so you should probably do the same." As if on cue, the other ponies left for their pre-arranged sleeping quarters as I crawled into bed. It was a little cold, but Pinkie kept my feet warm, so there was that I guess. We all drifted into sleepy land. For all of about 30 minutes, when Fluttershy rolled off the bureau and hit the floor with a light thud. I immediately sat upright in my bed and turned on my lamp. Everyone seemed to still be asleep besides me and Fluttershy. Oh, Pinkie woke up to, but she was to busy using my leg as a snuggle buddy to notice what happened. I didn't complain, not in the slightest. "Fluttershy, are you OK?" I asked from my bed, staring at her lifting herself off of the floor. "Yes, I'm fine, but I don't think that I can really sleep up there safely anymore. Is there anywhere else I can sleep?" Before I could answer, Pinkie replied in the sweetest, most innocent voice I have ever heard. "It's comfy over here Fluttershy." I looked at the hardly moving Pink body on my leg, then to the yellow one that just managed to get up on hers. "My, that does look comfy, actually." Fluttershy responded, walking towards the bed. Pinkie patted a place next to her and Fluttershy climbed up as I laid my head back on my pillow. Thinking one thing and one thing only as I slip into an unconscious bliss of dreams and rest. They are really god damn soft. Author's Note Hah, made you all think it was gunna be dirty, lol. I STRIKE ONCE MORE! FacepalmOK, short chapter, just so I can get back into the swing of things with the story. Sorry about the very long wait, but there is a good chance another chapter will be out today. "Ummmm" I just kinda stood there with a face stupider then I think I could have made if I tried. "I'll tell you later, right now I have to go stop my psycho brother from... something." Excuses, not my strong suit. I turned and took off down the hall. Thankfully I knew he would be heading right for the kitchen. The ponies were right behind me, my full sprint equaling there jog. Damn, I really need to work out. I made it to the kitchen and slid like, 4 feet. Only thing there was Pinkie, still bouncing. She seemed to be bouncing a bit faster than last time. "Pinkie, have you seen anybody else come through her-" My life flashed before my eyes at that very moment. I saw my first birthday, first day of school, first kiss, first episode of MLP watched. All of it. I thought I was going to die. Pinkie got into the coffee. It was Rainbow Dash who snapped mew out of my daze. 'Umm, is something wrong?" I slowly turned and looked at her. Words couldn't form the terror I felt at that moment. I just nodded. They seemed confused, so I pointed at the pink nuke in my kitchen. Then, the unthinkable happened. Pinkie kinda just... stopped. She stopped bouncing, stopped beaming, stopped, well, everything. Me and the two ponies just looked at her in confusion. She looks back, just as confused as we are. I break the silence. "Pinkie, is something wrong." "I-I don't know. I-I'm just really, really, REALLY sleepy all of a sudden." At that moment she just left the kitchen, and we followed. She went into the living room, climbed on the couch, and just fell asleep. Just, poof, out like a light. Everybody was just starring at her sleeping form on the couch, mouths open. We were like that for a good two minutes before I heard my brother behind me. 'Whatcha lookin at?" I whip around at light speed and just stare at him. I point to the couch. His turn to stare now. About 2 more minutes pass by in silence. Again, I break it. Silence is just to awkward in a room full of ponies. "Wait, where were you just now. I thought you wanted to meet Fluttershy." "I had to piss." Audible face palm engaged. Hope you liked it. Expect longer chapters after this one.
StormThe storm raged on this simple June morning. The rain was falling hard, the thunder never ending. I stood in the doorway to my back porch, watching the weather as I often do during storms. I have always found storms calming. Whether it’s the sound of the rain against the roof, or the thunder erupting in the distance, I felt at peace during the heat of the storm. I had just gotten out of my sophomore year in high school not even a weak ago. My parents left for work before the storm had yet to start, and my brother was still sleeping. I haven’t yet adjusted to not having to wake up at 6 in the morning, so I was awake long before anybody else. I just lay in my bed, thinking. Mostly about ponies, but thinking none the less. I would think about the possibility that Equestria existed in some other universe. Obviously that wasn’t true, but I liked the feeling of wonder. I would think about what would happen if ponies were real. Also obviously not real, but I like to think. I lay in my bed, listening to my parents getting ready for work. As soon as they left, I got out of bed and had some cold pizza for breakfast. I sat down with my plate and turned on my Xbox. I signed into Live and went on Netflix so I could watch My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I chose a random episode and opened my laptop. Thought I would read some fan fiction out of boredom. I read for about an hour or so while the storm caught up to my expectations. I never even noticed that the episode finished. I was about to change the episode when I heard a knock at my back door. I was confused beyond all belief. Who would be out in weather like this? Why were they at MY house? And why on earth were they at my back door? I went downstairs, making sure I didn’t wake my brother, and looked out the window in the door. Nobody was there. I was dumbfounded. I turned to walk away, when there was a knock again. I spun around as first as I could to look out the window before whatever it was got away. Nothing was there. I decided to just open the door to get a better look around. What I saw made my heart skip a beat. There, at my back door, were 6 ponies. The mane 6, were at my back door, soaking wet, staring at me with huge, hopeful eyes. I stepped back and passed out. When I awoke, I was on the couch in my basement with the 6 ponies gathered around me. “Good, your awake!” The purple unicorn said with a happy tone in her voice. I couldn’t form a sentence. I was in shock. “Whazza…..whydah…..howdah……..WHAT!” The ponies looked confused and a little frightened. ‘Sorry about that. But, why, how, are you here?” Pulling that sentence together without stammering was a feat all on its own. “Oh, well as for why we are here, it’s kind of wet out. As of how, long story.” Twilight seemed happy to answer. The rest of the ponies just nodded in agreement. The ponies were still dripping wet, so I go up and got them some towels. ‘There, you can dry up now and not drip water all over my mom’s floor. She would never forgive me.” After they dried off, we went upstairs and into the large living room. I went ahead of them so I could turn of the TV and close my laptop. I didn’t know if they knew that they were part of a TV show and I didn’t want to scare them away if they didn’t. I sat in my recliner while Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity sat on the couch. Pinkie was bouncing in the corner. Rainbow was taking advantage of my high ceiling, hovering about 12 feet in the air, while Fluttershy was sitting on the rug with my cat. “Ok your all dry, now, why exactly are you here?” Twilight was the first to speak, obviously. “Well, we were hoping that we could wait here while the storm dies out. Traveling in weather like this makes the whole journey horrible.” “Um, okay, but I meant why are you HERE! Like, Earth?” Twilight blushed a little. “Oh yes. Well, it’s a little embarrassing.” “She was trying to teleport all of us from Ponyville to Las Pegasus, but we somehow ended up here.” Twilight glared at Rainbow, but she seemed not to really care. A little argument was going on between Twilight and Rainbow, but I decided to pipe up before it got out of hand. “Wait, so you can get back right?” I was honestly concerned. “Well, yes, but it’s a little complicated.” “Complicated how?” “Because there isn’t any magic here, at least not that we have been able to find, we need perfect conditions. Weather, time, everything has to be perfect.” I was very sorry for them. I could tell they wanted to be home. “Wow, that’s, just wow. Well, you can stay here until the storm passes if you want” “That would be great, thank you so much!” Twilight smiled warmly. I left the ponies to go check to see if my brother was still sleeping. He was. I could never understand how he could sleep so much. I went back to the ponies. They were sitting right where I left them. Rainbow was sitting on the ground talking to Pinkie. The 3 on the couch were talking to each other, while Fluttershy was playing with my cat. “Do you guys, err, ponies want something to eat, drink, read?” As soon as I said read, Twilight eyes lit up, like I knew they would. ‘I haven’t read a book since we have been here!” I laughed. “My dad has a bookshelf upstairs, just try not to make a mess.” As soon as I was done, she darted right upstairs. “I’ll get the rest of you some food.” I went into the kitchen and looked around the fridge for some vegetables. I came back a few minutes later with some food for them. “Okay, I’ve got carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, apples, grapes, bananas, and what I think is a peach.” The ponies came over and got some food; I just sat down and watched. I couldn’t believe what I saw in front of me. It was dream come true. I decided to strike up some conversation with Applejack. “So, how long have you all been here?” “Hmm, about 4 weeks I reckon.” “Wow, that long?” “Yup” We talked for a little while longer. The story doesn’t end here, not by a long shot, but I wanted to see this would be liked before I continued. I don’t have an editor or anything, so if there are any spelling or grammer mistakes, sorry. Any criticism is welcomed.
Random Encounters of the Pony KindThe 5 ponies lay down after their feast, making sure they left enough for their friend upstairs. I brought Twilight her food, only to find that she took almost every single book off of my dad’s bookshelf. I stood there, jaw on the floor, staring at the mess that was going to be the reason I would not be alive tomorrow. “Oh, hello…. Actually, I don’t believe you ever told us your name.” Twilight said with a quizzical look on her face. I couldn’t form words. That’s been happening a lot today. “Um, are you okay?” She seemed concerned now. “I… I’m….. WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!” Twilight flinched a bit when I screamed, but I really didn’t care at that moment. “WH-what? What did I do?” ‘THIS MESS!” I was pissed, there was no way I would be able to clean all this before my parents get home. “Oh, is that all?” Twilight sat up with a smile. Her horn began to glow faintly. All of the books flew into the air and went back on the shelf. “Oh ya, magic.” I blushed a bit and rubbed the back of my head. “Sorry about that.” She closed her eyes and smiled my way. “No problem.” “Oh ya, I brought you some food. I think they left you some grapes and lettuce.” Twilight’s eyes lit up. “My favorite!” I smiled her way and left the pony to eat. I went back downstairs and saw 1 pony where there were 5 just moments ago. “Fluttershy, where did everyone else go?” Fluttershy was still playing with my cat. She really seemed to like Fluttershy, not that I was surprised. “I think they said they got bored and just started wandering.” I couldn't help but daaaaw at my cat rubbing up against Fluttershy, even in a case like this. “Ok, thanks.” And the chase began. Somewhere In my house were 4 ponies and I had to find them before they do any real damage. Thankfully, it wasn’t that hard. Rarity was upstairs in my mother’s sewing room, no surprise, and I kind of just let her stay there. She probably wouldn’t have left if I asked her to anyway. Pinkie Pie was in the kitchen, big surprise. She was just boucing in the middle of the floor, with the biggest grin ive ever seen on her face, not really doing anything. I gave her a confused look. “Pinkie Pie, what are you doing?” No response, just bouncing and beaming. “Umm, okay, don’t make a mess?” I honestly had no idea what to do or say, so I just left. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were a bit harder to find. I knew they wouldn’t be outside. The entire reason they were even here was to not be outside. I searched the house and finally came across them in my brother’s room. They were just standing there, quizzical looks on their faces, staring at him while he slept. I crept into the room and tried to get them to leave him alone. Applejack started to tiptoe away, but Rainbow being Rainbow, decided to try and fly out. Needless to say, a winged bitch-slap can wake someone pretty easily. They froze in place, while my brother shot up in his bed, still kind of tired. I gasped and waved for them to get moving, but they just stood there. He got up and looked over at me, then at the ponies, back at me, back to the ponies, yawned, and lay back down. “Hehe, ponies in my room.” My brother grumbled as he drifted into sleep. The ponies and I started leaving his room, being as quiet as possible. “You two don’t even know how luck-“ “PONIES IN MY ROOM?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?” “Crap.” My brother shot out of bed and ran over to us, intense signs of confusion on his face. He reached his hand out to touch one of them, then pulled back when Rainbow pushed his hands away with her hoof. “Ryan, what the hell is going on?” “So THAT’S your name!” Rainbow said with a sense of accomplishment in her voice. “Ya it is. And Ben, it’s a long story.” “Are the rest here too?” “Eeyup.” Applejack looked at me with a look of confusion on her face. Me and Ben couldn’t help but let out a little giggle. “Where are they then? I want to meet Fluttershy!” “She’s in the kitchen with Coe, but don’t go runnin-“ Too late, he was gone. “Um Ryan?” Rainbow Dash tapped me on the shoulder. “Yes?” “How does he know who Fluttershy is? We never introduced ourselves to him. Now that I think about it, I don’t even think we ever technically introduced ourselves to you.” This is what I was afraid of happening. “Author’s” Notes I’m really starting to get into writing this story. If any spelling or grammar errors are spotted, please tell me so that I can fix them ASAP. I don’t have an editor or anything like that. Any criticisms are welcomed and appreciated. P.S.- I couldn’t think of a way to get this across in the story, but Ben, the brother, is 15 and a Brony.
PonchosOkay, another short chapter, I know I said it would be long, but a lot came up today, like a lot more than originally planned. So, here is this... thing... tell me what ya think? After a minute or so of recap, I pulled my brother to the side while the ponies talked amongst them selves. "Okay, no matter what, no questions about anything to obvious. I'm not sure if they know they are part of a T.V. show, and I don't want some sort of cross-reality thing to make them explode or something." "Awe, ok." Me and Ben went back into the living room and noticed that Twilight and Rarity have come back down from upstairs. I sat down on the floor and my brother leaned against the wall. I figured that there had to be some subtle way of figuring out if they knew. I thought about just asking some normal questions and easing into the idea to maybe get them to say something about it. Ya, that should work. "So, how's Ponyville?" I hate him so much. "Okay, Ah think that's about it." Applejack said, walking towards us. "Now, you tell us how y'all know about us and Ponyville right now." I was sweating furiously. My heart was beating at speeds that would put bullet train to shame. I figured I could pull this together. I just needed to choose the right words. One slip of the tongue, and the pastel colored ponies might be painting the room with pastel colored body parts. "Ummmmm" Smooth. "Ummm nothin, I wanna know to!" Rainbow Dash seemed to be getting angry too. "OK, but, you will probably not like then answer." I could hear Rarity whispering something about inter-dimensional cameras to Fluttershy. I just kinda looked at her with a confused look on my face. She suddenly became very interested in her hooves. "Umm, it might be better if I just show you." As I walked over to the TV to turn it on. I whispered to my brother as I walked past him. "Go get some ponchos, just encase." He nodded and took off towards the hall closet. Ok, ive been trying to think of things to do to prolong the end. However, I could just wrap it up in a few more chapters and work on the next story in what I guess is considered a story. Tell me what you think I should do.
SofaOK, short chapter again. Honestly now though, next chapter should be longer, I pinkie promise I will at least try, Tell me what you think!!! "OK ponies, are you ready?" I sure as hell wasn't. They all nodded none the less and I flicked on the TV, quickly put on the poncho, and dove behind the couch. My brother following soon. It was at that moment I realized something. I never put on an episode. I sighed as I got up from my position outside of the possible blast/ splash zone and grabbed the Xbox controller. I looked up and saw each and every pony staring at me like I was insane. I just pushed it into the part of my brain that cares what other people/ ponies think when I do something weird. I don't use that part often. I figured I would make this fun. Well, as fun as possibly setting off a living bomb could be. "Okay. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. Guess." More confused stares. "What does that have to do with anything?" Rarity piped up. I don't know why, but I was actually surprised to hear her say anything. "Just do it please." "2" "9" "4" "8" "7" "12" Everybody looked at Rainbow hovering a few feet off the ground. "What? I wasn't paying attention and everypony just started shooting off random numbers!" "Aaaannnnyyy way. The number was 7, so Twilight wins. She seemed unusually happy about this. "What do I win?" "Pretty much, what part of your life you get to see!" Confused stares all around. "What?" I couldn't tell if she was actually THAT confused or just trying to get me to spill what it was faster. "You shall see soon enough." I said that with a grin on my face, speaking in the most overdone villain voice possible. "Miss Twilight Sparkle, if you would ever be so kind, I have another number for you to chose. One, or, two?" "Umm, two?" "Wonderful choice!" Well, neither were a bad choice, but that doesn't matter. Now, pick a number between 1 and 26." "Ummm, 3?" I couldn't keep a grin from coming across my face. "Wonderful choice! One of my absolute favorites. You, however, may not like it." "Why, what happened?" She sounded genuinely scared. It was too easy. "I shall say one word and one word only. Smartypants." Her face fell into an expression of shear terror. "My Little Ponies, I present to you, Lesson Zero." AS soon as I hit play I dove behind that couch like my life depended on it. And for all I knew, it did.
AftermathTwenty two minutes later I emerge from behind the couch, surprised to see a lack of pony parts. I will admit, I was a little disappointed. NOT BECAUSE THE PONIES DIDN"T EXPLODE! But because I already had the poncho on, and I didn't want it to go to waste. Anyway, I emerge from behind the couch expecting the worst. I was greeted by 6 confused and slightly scared ponies. "Sooo, what did you think? Was it spot on?" I asked Twilight specifically. She responded with a slow nod, never breaking eye contact and her expression never wavering. "Well, this is awkward." Ben to the "rescue". "So, now that you know that your part of a TV show, let's talk about something else!" About 30 seconds and a face palm later, I looked up at the ponies, who now looked even more weirded out and scared then before. Fluttershy started crying. I'm going to hell. "Ben." "Ya" "I hate you." "Nice to know." I just looked at him with my GTFO face and he took the hint. About 30 seconds later it was just me and six ponies in my living room. I walked over to the window to check on the storm. Hasn't let up in least. In fact, I think it may have goten worse. I looked at the clock on the opposite wall. 1:27. I let out the breath I held in. My parrents don't leave work until around 5:30 and wouldn't be back until about six. Plenty of time to explain. I opened my mouth to explain, then closed it not knowing what to say. After about a minute of pretending to be a fish, I just stopped and stared at them. Cue awkward silence. "Ok, really, is there something wrong with you?" Rainbow said. I was just happy that someone broke the silence, even if it was a pony accusing me of being retarded. "I.. I just don't know where to start." Twilight cuts in. "Just tell us what this is." "Ok. You are the six main characters in a TV show called My Little Pony" Friendship Is Magic. The show is about you six doing... well... stuff." Awkward silence. "And?" "Well, there are 2 seasons with 26 episodes each. Each episode is a specific time in one, or all, of your lives. They span in time from the Nightmare Moon incident up to the Royal Wedding. For example, the first Applebuck Season after Nightmare Moon is an episode. When Rarity gets captured by the Diamond Dogs. Ummm, the Discord stuff..." A look of fear washed over the ponies when I spoke about the discord episodes. I can see that they never really got over that... "Was really the Discord incident really that bad." I was tn the proud owner of six disgusted pony stares. "How could you even ask that! You apparently saw it, you should know how bad it was!" Rarity screemed at me. "Jeez, sorry!" The few seconds of awkward silence were put to an end when Twilight asks the questions of all quesions. "So, who's your favorite?" Again a few more seconds of silence until we hear a faint yell from down the hall. "Fluttershy!"
NOTICEOk, well, almost done here, and when this is done, I have more story ideas. Well, two, tell me witch you would want. Another installment of this series (yes this is going to be a series) -OR- An idea I had focused around the CMC in a post apocalyptic equestria. Both will be done, but the one not chosen will be put off until a later date. and before anyone asks, the chapters for the new story will be longer and more recent KK, have a good one -Eeyup/Ryanjri P.S: Does anybody know how much they normally charge for BronyCon?
Eyes...The only disturbance to the silence was the echoing of my very audible face palm off the walls. "M-me?" Fluttershy said, seeming to be in complete and utter shock. "Humph" Rainbow Dash didn't seem to be oh so impressed by Ben's answer. Rarity spoke up. "Well that was, unexpected." "Rarity!" Twilight was not amused, clearly. "What?" "That was not very nice." "I'm sorry..." At that exact moment, Rarity was the cutest thing in the room. Very, very sad, but adorable none the less. I couldn't help my self. "Dawww" I was then met with 6 confused looks. "Oh, sorry." "Anyway, that doesn't answer my question." Twilight spoke up "What?" "I asked who was your favorite, not his." "Oh, ya, well..." Distraction, I need a distraction! "Look! Its a Manticore!" Six gasps and then six more dissatisfying looks later I realized something. I never had a plan of what to do after that step. "*sigh* your not getting out of answering the question." "I know..." "So, who is it?" Let's just stop the story for a minute here so I can ask a question. Have you, ever, in your entire life, had six colorful cartoon ponies in your living room asking you to answer a question that you really don't want to? I'll answer that for you, no. Because this is my story and I don't care about your living room horses. Anyway, its hard. Those eyes, drilling into your soul, eating away at the very fiber of your existence. Ripping the threads that keep you attached to this plane of existence. Those eyes... "Eyes..." All I could here is some inaudible mumbling "Eyes..." More mumbling "Eyes..." No mumbling that time, just a loud thump. The thump of my head hitting the hard wood living room floor. I woke up on the couch with my head in a bandage. "Ugh, what happened?" A wild butter pony has appeared! It uses hyper uber hug! It's super affective! "Oh my, I'm SO sorry!" "Can't....Breath....Help!" I saw my life flash before my eyes. Quite a way to go. Choked out by Fluttershy. Can't say I saw that one coming. "Ah! I'm so sorry!" She seemed terrified. "It's *cough* OK *cough* *cough*. Damn girl, you lift?" "Huh?" "Never mind, anyway, what happened?" Fluttershy seemed embarrassed. Like really embarrassed. And then it hit me. "Fluttershy, did you just use the stare on me?" "No! I would never! Well, maybe a little, but not on purpose! I Pinkie Promise" "So that's what it feels like." I got up and checked the clock. "Few, its only 5:55" Wait a minute... "AHHHHH!!! FUUUUU!" I scared the ponies. I do that a lot, damn. "Crap, sorry!" I ran over to check the window. Still stormy as all hell. "My parents will be home any minute!" I lean out the doorway int to the hall and call my brother "Dickhead, get in here!"
HatedA few moments later, said Dickhead was in the living room with me. "I'm going to go ahead and guess you were talking to me?" "Good guess." "Okay, well, what?" "Look at the clock." He gives it a quick look before turning back to me. "So? Its six... Oh shit... What are we gunna do?" "Um, give me a second." I had no clue what to do. In a matter of seconds my parents would walk through the front door, see 6 colorful ponies, long story short the government would be involved and there would be said six ponies being tested on and later given autopsy. I couldn't let that happen. "Corral them in my room. It will give me more time to think of a more permanent-temporary solution." All six ponies looked at me with disgust and confusion. "What?" "Corral us? Where not barnyard critters!" Applejack said with a hint of anger in her voice. "Sorry, but I don't have time to argue, now follow me. Ben, yell when they get here." "Aye aye." We quickly ascended the stairs and entered my room. It was a bit of a mess, but they would have to live with it. "No." Rarity said. "No?" "No.I refuse to stay in this mess!" "Well you don't really have a choice, just go pick the least messy spot to inhabit." Rarity, reluctantly, went and moved the clothes out from under my desk. "Huh, the cat likes it there too..." I was getting off topic. "Okay, listen up. There is no way, even if the storm does lighten up, that you will be able to leave tonight. My parents almost never come up here, so just find a place and get comfortable, it's gunna be a long night." The ponies, though not thrilled with the idea, found spots to call there own for the night. Rainbow Dash decided on the large shelf in the closet. I wasn't sure how it could hold her, but I learn later that pegasi really don't way a lot. Fluttershy chose the top of the dresser for god knows what reason. Twilight settled in the papasan chair, while Pinkie decided to sleep at the foot of my bed. I didn't complain, it was just like having a dog. A pink, hoofed, cotton candy smelling dog. Applejack settled for the floor of the closet. "That doesn't really look very comfortable Applejack, you want a pillow or something?" "Ah'll be fine, thanks." Applejack said, sounding upset. "Is something wrong?" "Nope." "AJ, if you don't tell us what's wrong, we can't help. That's what friends are for." Applejack got up immediately and walked right up to Twilight, her face stricken with anger. She raised a hood and pointed straight at me. "HE, is NOT mah friend." She then proceeded to go back and lie down on the closet floor, facing away from everyone else. By now everypony was looking at me with questioning eyes. All except cool minded Rainbow Dash. No, she was about three inches from my face with even angrier looking eyes then AJ's. "What. Did. You. Do." "Me? I don't have a damn clue!!!" Rainbow Dash was starting to scare me. She looked like she had the intent to kill. Thankfully, there was a bittersweet end to the death gaze. "There here!" Ben yelled from downstairs.
Explanations"Crap, um, I'll be right back." I gave a long, worried look to the lightly breathing form of Applejack in my closet. Rainbow Dash and Rarity didn't look to pleased with me. I left after I realized I was staring. I raced down the stairs just as my parents walked into the door. "Hey Mom, hey Dad, how was work?" "It was OK, how was your day?" My mother replied. "OK,whats for dinner?" "I'm not sure, what were you thinking?" "Anything will do, just call me when you decided." I quickly ran upstairs leaving behind my confused mother and a rejected feeling father. "My day was pretty good..." He said. As I acceded the stairs I hear the ponies talking in my room. I kreept to the door to listen. "Applejack, what's wrong dear?" That voice was unmistakeably Rarity's. "Nothin." Applejack replied with an angry/ sad tone in her voice. "Bull pie nothings wrong!" Rainbow Dash blurted out, as sensitive as she ever was. "Applejack, please tell us. Were worried for you." Fluttershy whispered. She sounded like she was about to cry. "Well, it's just tha-" Applejack started to reply and then stopped abruptly. I could hear hoofsteps. I wondered what was going on, I wanted to know what the problem was too. And then the door opened and I fell on my freaking face. My ass was sticking in the air and I looked like some yoga buff doing a version of the dog stance or whatever it's called. I looked up from my "exercise" and noticed 5 pairs of shocked eyes looking at me, along with one pair of unimpressed green pupils right in front of me. "Um, howdy?" Bad choice of words in hindsight. "Ah.." she seemed at a loss for words. At least I wasn't alone in the department. Finally she spoke. "Yall know what, I don't even care! Come on in, I'll tell you too" She walked into the room and I followed, completely disregarding the fact that I was just given permission to enter my own room by a orange pony who seemingly had the upper hand. "OK Applejack, I would like to know what I did because, frankly, I don't have a damn clue." I won't lie, I was a bit pissed. Partly because she was mad at me for a reason that I believed didn't exist, but mostly because she opened the door that displayed my elegant performance. Applejack had a hint of anger in her voice too, but I didn't care. "Listen sugarcube, yall didn't do nothin. I'm just a might homesick, and Ah guess Ah just sent that your way. Ah'm sorry." She sounded honest in her apology, which is kinda expected from the element of honesty, but whatever. "Oh, well then, um, apology accepted?" The other five let out a breath they had been holding for some time in a chorus of relief. At that moment the door opened.
Enchilada Enchilada It was Ben. (OK, side note, as soon as I wrote that down my brother Ben walked into the room, just thought I would share that.) Me and the 6 ponies let out a breath when we saw who it was. They had been holding there breath for a while now that I think about it. Hope that didn't lead to brain damage or anything. Anyway Ben walked in and closed the door behind him. "What's up Ben?" "Nothing, bored." I just kinda sat there and stared at him for a few seconds. "What?" "Really? You know what, I don't know why I'm at all surprised by this." There were a few seconds of silence before Twilight spoke up. "Soo, Ryan, Ben, why don't you tell us about yourselves?" "Um, OK. What did you want to know?" Twilight pondered for a moment before responding. "Been on any adventures lately?" I just kind of looked at her with a look of disbelief. "You mean, besides all this or, what?" "Yes, besides us." Twilight replied, seeming a little peeved for some reason. "Hmm, besides this, nope. My life is generally pretty calm. What about you Ben." Ben stopped and thought for a few minutes before dawning the most exaggerated face of enlightenment I had ever seen. "Oh ya! So, I went to this Mexican restaurant called Qdoba a week or so ago. It's a little bit like a Mexican Subway, but I digress. So anyway, I got this burrito with about 4 helpings of beans, and it gave me excruciating gas for the next 36 hours!" The ponies all kind of looked at Ben with a stare that seemed to be a mixture of an "are you series" look and a "what did I just witness" look. I kinda just closed my eyes and sighed. "I think that's enough for question time, Twilight." I replied trying not to sound sick as I though back, up until this point, honestly believing a herd of skunks died in the walls. Dinner went by without a hitch. We had enchiladas. Ben told his story of the uber burrito once more, quickly and efficiently ending dinner for the rest of us. I said goodnight to my parents, though early as it was, and acceded the stairs to my room. The ponies were talking in hushed tones and immediately dove in the closet as they heard the door open. "It's okay, it's just me." I said, staring at the closet doorway, waiting for the ponies to emerge. After a few moments, they came out and sat in the middle of the floor looking at me. "Er, is something up?" I was straight up confuzled. "What do we do now?" Twilight asked. "Um, I don't know. I'm going to bed, so you should probably do the same." As if on cue, the other ponies left for their pre-arranged sleeping quarters as I crawled into bed. It was a little cold, but Pinkie kept my feet warm, so there was that I guess. We all drifted into sleepy land. For all of about 30 minutes, when Fluttershy rolled off the bureau and hit the floor with a light thud. I immediately sat upright in my bed and turned on my lamp. Everyone seemed to still be asleep besides me and Fluttershy. Oh, Pinkie woke up to, but she was to busy using my leg as a snuggle buddy to notice what happened. I didn't complain, not in the slightest. "Fluttershy, are you OK?" I asked from my bed, staring at her lifting herself off of the floor. "Yes, I'm fine, but I don't think that I can really sleep up there safely anymore. Is there anywhere else I can sleep?" Before I could answer, Pinkie replied in the sweetest, most innocent voice I have ever heard. "It's comfy over here Fluttershy." I looked at the hardly moving Pink body on my leg, then to the yellow one that just managed to get up on hers. "My, that does look comfy, actually." Fluttershy responded, walking towards the bed. Pinkie patted a place next to her and Fluttershy climbed up as I laid my head back on my pillow. Thinking one thing and one thing only as I slip into an unconscious bliss of dreams and rest. They are really god damn soft. Author's Note Hah, made you all think it was gunna be dirty, lol. I STRIKE ONCE MORE!
FacepalmOK, short chapter, just so I can get back into the swing of things with the story. Sorry about the very long wait, but there is a good chance another chapter will be out today. "Ummmm" I just kinda stood there with a face stupider then I think I could have made if I tried. "I'll tell you later, right now I have to go stop my psycho brother from... something." Excuses, not my strong suit. I turned and took off down the hall. Thankfully I knew he would be heading right for the kitchen. The ponies were right behind me, my full sprint equaling there jog. Damn, I really need to work out. I made it to the kitchen and slid like, 4 feet. Only thing there was Pinkie, still bouncing. She seemed to be bouncing a bit faster than last time. "Pinkie, have you seen anybody else come through her-" My life flashed before my eyes at that very moment. I saw my first birthday, first day of school, first kiss, first episode of MLP watched. All of it. I thought I was going to die. Pinkie got into the coffee. It was Rainbow Dash who snapped mew out of my daze. 'Umm, is something wrong?" I slowly turned and looked at her. Words couldn't form the terror I felt at that moment. I just nodded. They seemed confused, so I pointed at the pink nuke in my kitchen. Then, the unthinkable happened. Pinkie kinda just... stopped. She stopped bouncing, stopped beaming, stopped, well, everything. Me and the two ponies just looked at her in confusion. She looks back, just as confused as we are. I break the silence. "Pinkie, is something wrong." "I-I don't know. I-I'm just really, really, REALLY sleepy all of a sudden." At that moment she just left the kitchen, and we followed. She went into the living room, climbed on the couch, and just fell asleep. Just, poof, out like a light. Everybody was just starring at her sleeping form on the couch, mouths open. We were like that for a good two minutes before I heard my brother behind me. 'Whatcha lookin at?" I whip around at light speed and just stare at him. I point to the couch. His turn to stare now. About 2 more minutes pass by in silence. Again, I break it. Silence is just to awkward in a room full of ponies. "Wait, where were you just now. I thought you wanted to meet Fluttershy." "I had to piss." Audible face palm engaged. Hope you liked it. Expect longer chapters after this one.
