Chapter 1

I jumped up from the couch in triumph. "TOLD YOU VINYL SCRATCH HAD EYES!"

"Oh shut UP keith! i knew she had eyes, i just didnt know they were... Maroon?"

"Oh yeah yeah... 'Those glasses are her eyes! She's so cool she gets different eyes than everypony else!' and you say im the one with a crush on a pony!"

"Oh come ON! Every brony we've talked to knows you have a crush on rainbow dash. and just a heads up, i've looked in your closet."

I immidiatly began blushing. Mabey i did spend too much time looking for... THOSE kinds of pictures... "Yeah well... err..." Perfect timing. I heard a knock at the door. "And the subject gets changed!" i walked towards the door and opened it, expecting to see one of our buddies on our street, but instead i saw a complete stranger. i prepared to point him towards the mall, but he spoke up first.

"Are you Keith?"

I was about to ask how he knew my name, but im not THAT rude. right? "Yeah thats me... you the new neighbors?"

"No... im looking for you. Me and a few other bronies nearby heard of you two and... wanted to show you something."

"May i ask what it is you re going to show us?"

"I wouldn't suggest it, its a long story... but you get to meet a ton of long-time bronies."

Evan jumped in front of me. "SOLD! lets go keith, where are we heading?"

"Whoa whoa dude... lets not just rush into this... 2 reasons. 1. this guy could very well be trying to murder us and 2... i have to check my twitter."

Evan rolled his eyes as i walked into my room and opened my laptop.

"Okay, im bringing my phone and my laptop with me. Just in case. Aight, lets go. lead the way mysterious brony person."
We followed him quite a few blocks awayand stopped at a tall brick house.

"Here we are."

"Okay, this street looks happy." I gave Evan a sarcastic look. "What could go wrong? i mean theres only like... no other houses nearby. except for that one over there which looks like the perfect place to film a horror movie."

The other brony lead us into i THINK the kitchen and we immediatly saw the group of other bronies. "You came." The oldest looking one spoke up from the small crowd.

"Why wouldnt we? I mean its not like this guy could have well been trying to murder us."

"oh shut UP keith. we're still alive right now, so we should be good."

"Whatever. so what are we being shown?"

"The opprotunity of a lifetime. Follow me." he said and motioned towards a door.

When we stepped down, we heard other people talking and it took a few seconds to take in the scene. "You guys are building something?"

"Yeah... except for one thing. this isn't just anything." He flipped a switch and we saw a flash come from the wierd structure.

"Uh... keith? look...at...THIS."

I turned towards what evan was looking at and my mouth dropped open. sure, the light was dim and blurry, but i couldn't deny what this looked like. If these guys weren't trying to murder us, we've found a way to cross into equestria. "Okay... this is NOTHING like what happened in Milesprower's story. So... what are we doing? looking in?"

"Well... here's the thing. we don't know if it works... this is where you come in."

"So... you expect us to walk into some portal that could very well just cause a major paradox and end up in us dying?"

"We thought you would say that... which is why these guys are here."

I swallowed as soon as the two men stepped out, muscular as any person ive EVER seen. We backed up and i turned to run but the tall one grabbed me. I saw evan get thrown in and i tried to break free but they had an iron grip. I closed my eyes as they shoved me in.

The last thing i remember before everything going black and the last thing i feel is falling. fast.

I woke up in a bright room, in a wierd bed. when i looked down i realized where i was. The hospital. My head-- My EVERYTHING hurt. But it also felt... Misplaced. I looked around for evan to see whether he made it alive or not. As soon as i looked to my left my jaw dropped. Evan was a... a... "Pegasus..." i whispered. He wasn't awake but he wasn't in good shape either. I looked at my back and was amazed. Not only was i a PEGASUS. I was the character i use all the time. twitter, the crappy stories i put on FIMfiction... everything really. "Oh yeah baby. Starlight is REAL. but... is EVAN his own character? Oh wait a second... all my twitter buddies... are THEY here? Am i an Uncle? Does my brother... If i have one... regret coming home when he sees what trouble i've gotten into? Only one way to tell... "Hello? Anypony--- whoa... Anypon--- AAAA-NNNNN-YYYY-OOOO---NNN--EE okay there we go... so i literally can not say Anypony here... OH COME ON! Ah buck it... oh seriously?! ok... next thing... Evan?" i poked him with my hand-- my hoof.

"Go away... my neck hurts..." He opened his eyes. "And my head... and my legs... and my wings... and my arms-- I HAVE WINGS-- Oh celestia-- Oh go--"

"Don't try. i've already experimented with it... kinda..."

"Ok... so were ponies? the portal worked? how did we get here?"

A voice came from the door. "Somepony saw you falling and swooped in to save you. I have to say, Nopony recognized you two. What are your names?"

I had to give Evan the 'play along' look. we used it a lot, especially when talking to the idiots on our street. "Im uh... Starlight."

"And im Dawn..."

"Don't mind if i ask... Who saved us?"

"I thought ponies your age always remembered moments like that.--"

She was cut off by another voice. "The one and only Rainbow dash! No need to thank me, it was my pleasure."

Evan poked me with his hoof. "Hey, in the stories, moments like this always mean the character gets a relationship with whoever said that. your dream can come true Keith."

"Evan, if we weren't in a world of friendship and joy, i would show you why cupcakes has the gore tag. Oh yeah, that reminds me, READ CUPCAKES--" I glanced at the two mares beside us with raised eyebrows.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Err... Nothing. Nothing at all."

"Yeah... just random stuff."

We sat around talking about random things for the next few minutes, trying to avoid conversations with other ponies, hoping not to reveal that we aren't ACTUALLY ponies. Right when our 10th or 11th conversation/debate ended a question flashed in my mind.

"Hey nurse?"

"Yes Starlight?"

"When the hay are we getting out of here?"

"Whenever your wings heal."

With that news i sat back and prepared for evan to ask the next question.

"How long will that be?"

"A few days, mabey a few weeks. Don't worry, We'll try to keep you entertained."

I rolled my eyes as i slumped down and tried to sleep.

Chapter 2

It had been one or two days, Me and Evan were used to being a pony. Or so we thought. As soon as we got the news that we were ready to leave, Evan jumped out of his bed boldy and collapsed immediately. I died laughing. "Wow evan. Hashtag, EPIC FAILURE! HHHhahahahahahaaaa!"

I sat there laughing and evan stood up and glared at me. "YOU try it!"

I stood up and wobbled a bit, but i stood up. I glared at Evan triumphantly. "How's about that huh?"

Evan glared at me harder. "I bet i'll get flying down before you!"

"Well DUH! your heads always up in the clouds. Your an expert." I laughed at him again.

I didn't need him to say anything to know he wanted to pound my face in.

I helped him as we walked out. "Okay, first priority. Find an apartment, then find a way OUT. OF. HERE."

"But why? DUDE! this could be our one chance to--"

"Lookin' for me?"

both of us glanced up. We saw an all-too-familiar Pegasus. "Oh... Hey Rainbow... Well we KINDA were... but ACTUALLY we're looking for an apartment or something."

"Nonsense. you're a pegasus, you two need to get in shape. you live in an apartment! C'mon, i'll bring you to my place."

We looked at our hooves in embarrassment.

"What?"

"Well... heh... We can't... fly..."

"HAHAHAHH!! Good one! Now Cmon!"

Evan spoke up. "We weren't joking..." He looked at me. "We'll explain later..."

"No... we WON'T." i looked him dead in the eye and whispered. "If anypony figures out that we aren't actually ponies, it'll cause panic ALL OVER equestria! so just keep your mouth shut, and let ME do the talking."

"Ok... FINE. Jeez..."

"Thanks for the offer, but we'll be fine. Thanks." I turned away and was starting to get annoyed when the stubborn Rainbow pegasus spoke again.

"Scared of heights?"

I heard Evan almost immediately. "Shouldn't have asked that... He gets offended EASILY..."

"NO. I'm NOT. I Can't fly, okay?! HOW am i gonna get up there with useless wings?! Im GOING to that apartment, and if i hear another word, it better be acceptance. okay? just leave me alone." i trotted away and ignored every other word i heard from anypony. when we arrived at the apartments, Evan stopped me.

"Wow dude. that was harsh."

"Yeah, NOT. I get why everypony-- everyONE on OUR planet says that she's stubborn. Let's just GO."

We got our room, 2 separate beds, and sat down on them. "You still got your laptop?"

"Uhh..." i opened my bag. "Yeah. good luck typing though."

He glanced at his hooves again. "Oh yeah."

"Anyway, what should we do now?"

"How's about you come on down to Sugarcube corner, and turn those frowns upside down!" A voice came from the window, causing both of us to jump.

"Whoa, CELESTIA that scared me!"

"Pinkie!" Evan said and popped up.

Pinkie pie looked at our faces confusedly "Heyyy, are you new here?"

We exchanged glances. "Yeah we're new here." i then whispered. "If by here you mean this whole world, then yes."

"Well Come on! i'll make you super duper extra special cupcakes!"

We both shrugged and followed her.

We sat down in Sugercube Corner, and waited for our "Super Duper Extra Special" Cupcakes. "Hey. Evan. If she asks you whether they taste like rainbows, or says she added a dash of something special, Get the buck out." I laughed at Evan's confusion. He'd never read cupcakes, too scared when i explained what all happened BEFORE the story took place.

Pinkie arrived and handed us our cupcakes, and i was somewhat waiting for the line. She didn't say it."Oh man. theshe really ARE shuper duper shpeshial! thanksh pinkie!"

"Your welcome! Want anymore?"

"Yesh pleashe!" I said, and swallowed. "Sorry... heh..."

"Okie Dokie Lokie!" was what i heard before she bounced off towards the counter.

Evan tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out the window.

"Oh great... is she stalking us or what?"

Rainbow dash walked into Sugercube Corner. "Hey pinkie. What'cha doin'?"

"Makin' cupcakes for two ponies new to town."

I groaned and rested my head on my hooves. "Don't point out where we are..."

"Over there!"

"Wow. spoke too soon."

"Just avoid eye contact..."

"YOU two again?!" She said, obvious irritation in her voice.

"Yeah, US TWO again."

Evan shushed me, and for once i decided to let HIM speak. "Look were sorry... he just gets cranky when he's tired." He glanced over at me. "REALLY cranky. and he doesn't like being bossed around." Both Dash AND Evan laughed. I joined in after a bit.

"I forgive you. But whenever you feel the need to fly, just tell me."

As soon as she left Evan turned to me. "See Keith? I just got you flight lessons. and if this plays out the way im thinking, a date with your crush."

"Oh shut up!"

"Cmon dude. EVERY PICTURE in your closet gave it away. Your not a closet brony, you just have... closet... feelings? did that sound like a real thing?"

"Sure."

When Pinkie brought us our next batch of cupcakes, we dug in. When we finished, we thanked Pinkie and the Cakes, and headed out to take up Rainbows offer of flight lessons. and if Evan is right about how i feel... that Guest room.

"You ready to crash a good... Eight-Million times Evan?"

"Nope. But im STILL doin' it."

We trotted around looking for Dash, and eventually Evan saw her sleeping on a cloud. "Is it a good idea to wake her?"

"Nope. So now we WAIT! and guess how badly this is gonna go."

I think i must've dozed off as well. Evan shook me awake. "Its time to crash! Time to DASH! its... FLYING TIME!" He said in his best Announcer voice. He liked announcing stuff, especially the hunger games me and my idiot friends on my street do.

I sat up and glanced behind Evan, to see Rainbow Dash sitting there who returned the glance. "You there sleepy head? C'mon! The air today will smack you awake."

"Alright alright... just let me... figure out... why my head hurts. NOPE! no clue, aight lets do this!"

"Okay, now a lot of pegasus new to flying... who are usually younger than you... think you have to flap hard. Thats why a lot of pegasus end up falling on their faces. You just have to flap gently like..." She demonstrated for us. as expected. "...That. now you try."

Me and Evan exchanged glances. "First try luck!" I said and jumped up, flapping my wings just as gentle as she showed the two of us.
