The Legendary Pony
The Statue In Canterlot
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke up to find Fluttershy was in front of me, she was just staring and out of all the things in the world to make you jump, this is one of them
"Oh, did I wake you? I'm so sorry if I did, I was just watching you sleep." She said, sorry for her actions
"She doesn't seem nice… She disturbed you, and to be honest, you can do better." Said Harmony
"Do you want something to eat? I've made breakfast for you just two minutes ago. I know humans don't eat hay, so I made you cereal and made sure to leave the milk until you wake up." She offered
"Oh… Why thank you… the only time someone did that for me was when my mum woke me up for school and I only had 10 minutes till the bus came, you're so sweet." I said
"Oh, why thank you." She said, then blushed and went to get the breakfast.
I sat up and got a tray on my lap
"Eat up, you've got the whole day where you can do whatever you want and I don't want you to miss a second of freedom."She said
"Wait, anything?" I asked
"Um… yeah, anything." Fluttershy said
"I have an idea!" Harmony said
"Let's go to Canterlot and see the castle gardens, we can explore the maze, see Celestia and look at the statues in the garden. Plus, it's the perfect time to free me!" he said
"Sounds fun." I replied out loud
"What does?" Fluttershy asked
"What sounds fun?" she asked
"Oh… nothing, I'll tell you later." I said to her
"Oh, ok… well, eat up, everypony is waiting for you." Fluttershy said, then turned around and walked to a wardrobe, and started getting dressed
"Everypony?" I asked
"Yep, Twilight, me, you, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity." she said
"Oh… I thought you meant everypony." I said
"oh, no… we thought that you didn't want that much attention. Shall we go now?" she asked
"Urr, yeah… we should." I said
We went outside to see that no pony was there, me and Fluttershy looked confused and saw why no pony was outside, the paparazzi was out and about and oddly Fluttershy and every other pony knows why except me.
"Oh dear…" Fluttershy said in concern
"How are we going to sneak around them?" I looked around calmly, then remembered a scene from a movie I watched, Toy Story 3, where the toys have to sneak across the playground without being spotted.
"Follow me…" I told Fluttershy quietly
"And stay close…" I ran to a tree, hid behind it and checked to see if paparazzi were there. When the coast was clear, I ran behind a nearby house and stayed as close to it as possible, while Fluttershy snuck over to me.
"Firestorm… why can't we just fly there? Or use your magic to teleport there?" she asked me
"Teleport? I can do that?" I asked, not being taught that ability
"Well… yes, I mean, you are a alicorn after all" Fluttershy said
"Oh Twi-" I said, getting shortly interrupted
"Hey…" a distant voice said
"…I hear something over here, you go left, I'll go right."
"Ok." said another voice
I was panicking super hard as they were closing in from both sides of the house and there was nowhere to go, then as I saw the ponys turn the corner to see me, I suddenly started floating onto the roof and it was non-other then Fluttershy.
"Ok-" "Shhh.…"
I waited for them to trot away and then gave Fluttershy time to speak
"Ok, now what?" she said
"Well… we could Assassin's Creed the rest of this." I said
"P… Pardon? What's an Assassin's Creed." she asked
"Oh… forget it, it's nothing important." I said, I ran to the edge of the house and jumped to the next one
"Ok, your turn… go on, it's just a hop skip and a jump." I said
"I… um, that looks high." she said
"We can't just sit here, just run and jump before somepony sees us." I told her
"I… I… I can't." she said nervously
"Fluttershy… please, for me?" I asked her
She looked at me, and just stood there. She squinted her eyes and ran towards me, then leaped to me and gave me a big hug.
"That was so scary… so… so… scary." she said, holding me tight
"Good, the way to beat fear is to face it, don't let it trample on you, you trample on it." I said
"But what if I hurt it?" she asked
"It's either you get hurt or fear gets hurt, and you're too cute to get hurt." I said
"Oh… well, thank you." she said
"Now, do what I do and do not, I repeat do not, think about it, just do what I do." I said
"O-Ok, do what you do and don't think about it, got it." She repeated it to herself
"Good." I looked to the next house and ran to jump to the next house, but six houses later I fell down the gap of the house and landed in some hay.
"Oh, I guess that's how you Assassin Creed something. LIKE A PONY!"I said
Fluttershy's head popped out of the hay just as the paparazzi looked in our direction, my eyes widened
"Urrr… this isn't what it looks like…" just as I said that, Fluttershy had to say stuff that made it worse
"You're right, it was better! That was so much fun that we should do this more oft-" I put my hoof in Fluttershy's mouth to shut her up, and nervously smiled at the paparazzi, the smile made a "squee" sound.
"Fluttershy… I think we should start running… like, now." I said, then took my hoof out her mouth and ran with Fluttershy by my side, we ran to Twilight's house but the door was blocked by the paparazzi, so had to run out of the area.
"Firestorm… why are we running?" Fluttershy asked me
"Because you made things look bad. And if Doctor runs in a bad situation, we can, and man does it feel good." I said.
We ran trying to lose them, ran to Applejack's, Rarity's, and back to Fluttershy's place
"THEY'RE LIKE ANIMALS!!! Oh, wait, I'm in the land of magic talking flying ponies, so they ARE animals!" I said
we managed to lose them for five seconds before getting spotted again, but we ended up in an alleyway, we were cornered and no way out as pegasus ponies were blocking our way from flying. Suddenly, a white light was coming from above me, it turned out to be my horn that was glowing.
"Why is it glowing?" I asked
"I don't know, you're the alicorn, you should know." Fluttershy said
"Well… I DON'T KNOW!" I said.
Just as I said that, I couldn't see anything but white, then the light faded away and I was in Twilight's house, I was greeted by Twilight, Rarity, Spike, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Derpy and John.
"Oh, never seen you before, I'm John, John Smith." John said
He shook my hoof and I introduced myself "I'm… Firestorm." I said
"Hm" John said
"Sounds, well, as the fillies say these days, cool. I wish I chose that instead of Doctor."
"I'm sorry but… did you say Doctor?" I asked
"Y- Urr… no." He denied
"but doctor, u always use that name."
"Doctor?" I asked
"Doctor who?!"
John looked at me for a while, then slowly grinned
"Exactly… Doctor who?"
"Wait… Thee Doctor? Thee last of the time-lords, the oncoming storm, the saver of the universe and beyond?!" I squealed
"Yes, thee Doctor, and I know a lot about your legend." he said, things were getting creepy
"What legend?" I asked
"You don't know? No pony told you yet?" he said
"Told me what?" I asked, looking at everypony, and they looked at me, John was the only one grinning.
"Well…" he said quietly, but at a volume where everypony could hear him
"we've got a train to catch… choo choo."
He slowly walked upstairs and Ditzy told me to follow her, and I did, everypony did, I was introduced to a big blue box, the door was open and the inside was just like the one in the show, when the 10th Doctor was around
"Oh… my… gosh! It's the real Tardis! Thee real Time and Relative Dimension In Space! I've only seen this in museums, and the toy set version of this! I've only dreamed of this but never thought about the fact of ever being in here!" I screamed with nerdy glee.
I ran up to the console and went to touch it but controlled myself
"No… mustn't touch it…" I said
"Wanna drive it?" He asked
I just looked at him with big watery eyes, I was almost crying with joy at this point, I've always dreamed about this but never got the chance to live it.
"W… you would let me drive the Tardis?" I asked
"Yes, it appears that you know lots about it." he said
"Wow… thank you… can we go to the Canterlot gardens?" I asked
"Sure, now do as I say." he said, I saluted
"Y… Yes sir."
"Ok, Ditzy." He said.
Derpy closed the doors and hold onto a railing
"Redy for adventer." Derpy asked
"Good, now pull this lever, Firestorm." The Doctor said
I put my hoof on the lever he pointed to, I was sweating like mad, my heart was racing and I had a smile so big that my face hurt, and pulled on it.
"Wuerrru, wuerrru, wuerrru" the Tardis's engines roared loudly, after I pulled the lever and it made me the happiest pony alive.
I decided to use my magic to turn into a human and fly it from there, doing exactly what The Doctor said, then when the engines stopped I was running around with glee
"Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! I flew the Tardis!" I said
I turned into a pony and gave the Doctor a big hug
"Thank you so much!" I told him
Then I went to Ditzy and gave her a big hug and kissed her cheeks several times
"I love Equestria! I don't want to leave!" I said in joy
"Oh, forget this and go outside. We have sights to see." said Harmony
I calmed down after a while and went outside, everypony's face but Ditzy and John's was in shock from how the blue box is bigger on the inside and how they moved from one place to the other.
"This isn't ethical… how did we go from my house to the Royal Gardens of Canterlot?!" Twilight yelled
"I don't know, Twilight, what I want to know is how it didn't mess up my mane and tail!" Rarity said
"Oh stop complaining Rarity, that blue box makes travelling Cooler!" Rainbow Dash said
"Can we get to sightseeing?" I asked.
Without another word, we went around the gardens, we went in the maze, looked at most the statues and then Princess Luna and Celestia came along
"Ah, hello there. We didn't expect to see thou 8 here." Luna said
"Hello princesses." Twilight said
"Having a good time?" Celestia asked.
"Yes we a- wait, 8? But there are 9 of us." Twilight said
"I only see 8." Celestia said, Luna agreed.
"Hey!" Pinkie Pie said "Where's Firestorm?"
they looked around and found me at a statue of a half pony, goat, dragon, and other creatures combined with the name Discord underneath the statue.
"Firestorm! Get away from that!" Celestia called, but I couldn't hear them, my horn was glowing and was placed on the statue, then I got pulled away from it and saw that the statue was cracked.
"Firestorm! That is the statue of Discord, the god of chaos! If he got out, who knows what would happen!" Luna yelled at me
"But... he told me he was Harmony, the god of peace..." I said, but was interrupted by some evil laughter
"What was that?" I asked
"Me… Harmony. In fact, no, I was lying, I'm the opposite." Discord said, "Firestorm… you set him free…" Celestia said quietly
"Girls, you go before Discord takes them." Celestia said
"Takes what?" I asked.
"Too late." Discord said in an evil tone
"The only one who can save you now is the legendary one."
"Discord, surrender now" Celestia said to Discord "And we can get this over and done with quickly!"
"And what's the fun in that? Mwa ha ha... ponies and their desires! I'm free at last! I bring you destruction... I bring you terror... I am Discord... Prepare yourselves! I've hidden the Elements of Harmony and you have to get them. Rules: No using the Legendary one until you found them as I've hidden them in one of my creations, and we all know that my creations disappear after I'm defeated. Deal?" he offered
Everypony looked at eachother, then at Discord, Twilight sighed and nodded to Ditzy, who turned to Discord and said "Meel, I meen, deel."
"Good." Discord said, and he disappeared after a click of his fingers.
Everypony looked at me angrily and didn't talk to me
"You…" Celestia said to me "…are in big trouble."
I just closed my eyes and sighed, feeling very stupid...
