The (Somewhat) Great Adventures of a Group of ("Human") Friends
Chapter - 1 'Wait... So This Is Where It Took Us? Why?'
You are currently walking down the street with your friends by your side, as a cool breeze blows through your hair. Though they are quite strange in their own way, you’re still glad to have friends as great as these. You all continue to walk down the street, under the light of the moon, while talking and laughing about the problems of yesterday’s tomorrow.
“But are you sure you’ll be fine,” you asked, “I mean, it does seem like a hard task to do alone, but if you say you can do it alone, then by all means, go ahead. Don’t forget, we’re here for you.”
“Yeah, we’ll always be here when you need us, you know that, right Summer,” Savanna asked, as she looked at Summer.
“Yes, but I’m sure I can do it, it’s just an MLP cosplay costume, it’s not that hard to make,” Summer said with her arms crossed, “besides, the con isn’t for another three months, why worry?”
“Yeah I guess your right, I still don’t get that show, but I can see why you two enjoy it,” you said in an understanding tone. You knew that Summer and Savanna have had some rough times, and haven’t had the best life, they only had each other, they are sisters after all. But through time they found the show enjoyable and they began watching it. Though you’re not a fan, you see the reason that they chose to continue to watch the show to this very day.
“Yeah, so Adam, what are your plans for the weekend,” Summer asked you.
“Why do you ask,” you asked.
“Well you know how most bronies have their OCs,” she said.
“Yes...” you said.
“Well, me and Savanna decided that we should create one for you,” she said hesitantly.
“You-did-what-now,” you ask quite quickly.
“We created an OC based on your personality... we hope your not mad...” she said, in a sad manner.
“Well... I’m not mad, but the least you could do is show me what they look like,” you said, in a quite nervous manner.
“Well we were hoping to show you this weekend, but if you want to, now is fine. I finished the drawing that I did of all of us in a group picture as our OCs, so, let’s see...” Savanna said, pulling out her laptop and brought up a series of drawings she’s done.
And there, on the screen, was the drawing she made. You, her, and Summer. Savanna pointed to the center, and said, “this one’s you.” You take a good look at the pony in the middle. It was what looked like a mint green (or in this case a shade of dark green) Pegasus, with a black mane, with the same shade of green as highlights at the tips of the mane, which was some what long and scruffy, the same for the tail, the eyes a far more lighter version of his hair, and, you presume he, was hugging two other ponies to the left and right of him with his wings. The one to his right was also a Pegasus, with a very vibrant and curly mane, that was purple, the same thing goes for the tail, (assuming it’s female) her coat was what looked like a darker shade of magenta, but her eyes are a shade of indigo. To the left, there was also a Pegasus (geez, they sure do love their Pegasi), she (also assuming it’s female) had a slightly darker version of light blue mane, as well as the tail. They were also less curly than the one on the right, and her coat is a lighter version of her mane, the same goes for her eyes. “Oh, I’m assuming you haven’t seen the Cutie Marks,” Savanna said pointing to the ponies flanks. You have to admit she does pay attention to your eyes. You see that your Cutie Mark is... two mint leaves behind a cloud? You look at the purple shaded one and see that her Cutie Mark are three lavenders. The other one had wait... are those... dark blue delphiniums? Wow, they sure did their research. So everyone’s special talents have to do with plants... great.
“So our special talents have to do with plants, I mean I’m not complaining I love mint,” you said in a cheerful manner, “but why flowers for you two?”
“Well, we’ve come to like the color, and smell of the flowers, so we made them our special talents,” Summer said.
“How are flowers a special talent,” you asked.
“Well, we use the flowers to help others, plus we grow them,” Savanna said.
“But I thought only Earth ponies could grow things,” you asked.
“Yes, but our ancestors were Earth ponies and Pegasi, so we may be Pegasi, but that doesn’t mean we can’t plant flowers, plus, our ancestors used these plants for magical things, but we haven’t made it that far yet into our backstory,” Summer said.
“Yeah well, I like the backstory so far, so what about me and my backstory,” you asked.
“Well, from what we’ve got, you grew up on a mint farm, your father was killed by a disease in the mint, and you were left to take care of the farm, with your mothers help. Eventually you have to sell the farm after your mother is killed by the same thing that killed your father, you find out it was a genetic mutation in the mint that caused it, you eventually genetically modify it out of the mint and all mint from them on, and with that you saved the mint production, and all the other ponies who use mint,” she said.
You mouth drops to the floor, in awe, at the backstory they gave you. I saved the mint production? Damn... You say to yourself in your head.
“Wow, that’s quite the backstory,” you said
“Yes, well, your backstory is something else,” Summer says, with a sheepish smile.
“Well what is it,” you asked
“Well your backstory is also a legend, it goes like this: ‘The one who has saved ponies from the green leaf will come back to save us, along with some others from the flower. Together they will have many challenges, adventures, and chapters to their story,’” Savanna said, in a narrator’s voice.
“So, that’s it, a legend, and a backstory, wow you guys are good,” you said, in awe at the amount of time they must have put into your OC.
“Yeah, we hope you like it,” Summer said, nervously.
“While I never would have thought that I would get an OC, you guys have really outdone yourselves,” you said.
“So does this mean your not mad,” Savanna said, cheering up.
“Why would I be mad, you put so much effort into my OC, and for that I’m not mad, in fact I’m joyful that you managed this, I’m glad you made me an OC, even if it’s a pony,” you said with a smile on your face.
“Really,” they both some what screamed at the same time.
“Yes, of course I did,” you said, still smiling.
“Oh thank you Adam,” they both said, before they both threw their arms around you.
“Woah, ok ok, I get it your happy, *chuckle, let’s continue walking before it gets late, it’s supposed to rain later,” you said, chuckling to yourself.
You knew that it was going to rain later, cause you saw it on their tv. You live with them after all, even-though you’re not related to them, you live with them as room mates. It fun living with them, but you treat them as a family instead of just friends, and nothing more.
“Yeah well, we can tell it’s about to rain, the wind is picking up,” Savanna said.
“The wind doesn’t pick up first when it’s about rain, it first becomes humid, then it picks up,” you said correcting her.
“Yes, but the wind is picking up, see,” she said, as a strong gust of wind comes in.
“What! But it didn’t even get humid, it actually was a nice temperature out tonight,” you said.
“Well what are we doing standing here for, let’s go,” Summer said, speed walking next to you and Savanna, “actually funny enough, this would usually be the scene of some of the MLP fanfics I’ve read, where people get teleported to some place by some kind of transmutation circle, or something of the sorts, and they meet some strange mysterious being, and are then sent to Equestria, fall into a forest, and are found by some ponies, oh I should show you someday .”
“Yeah, well right now we’re going home, I’m not one for getting sick from the rain, although I do enjoy the rain,” you said.
You, and your two friends start heading back to their house. Everything starts going well, until...
*CRASH
“What in the-” is all you could say as a loud flash of light appeared behind the three of you.
To your amazement, it was a portal... that was currently pulling you in... Wait... WHAT? You mentally asked.
“Woah... this doesn’t seem right, why is there a portal... wait Adam, what’s wrong, why are you moving closer to it,” Savanna said looking at you as you were getting dragged toward the portal.
“I’m not doing it, it’s the portal, I’m getting dragged into it... a little help would be advised...” you said, as they finally realized that you needed help. Oh now you realize I need help! You say in your mind, slightly scolding them for not realizing.
“So... what do you think this portal is... it seem to be getting... stronger... we... need... to... get... out... of... here... NOW,” you said stumbling some of your words before screaming.
“Yeah... I second that, this portal’s force is pulling stronger, at this rate we’re all going to get pulled in, but if we do... I wouldn’t dream of being without you guys, even when we go through,” Summer said, holding on for her dear life onto Adam.
“Yeah, I will always be with you all the way, no matter what,” Savanna said, trying not to let go.
“Well, let’s hurry up and-” and once again you were cut off as the portal flashed, and it’s pull became two times as powerful.
“Woah, well I didn’t expect that to happen, well, here we go apparently, cause now the portal is stronger then us... I hope to see you guys on the other side...” Savanna said, accepting her fate.
“Yeah... see you there...” you say, also accepting your fate.
“Yep, this seems anti-climactic, were not reacting in a bad way to this, but I guess I might as well say this, brace yourself,” Summer said, bracing her-self. You and Savanna follow suit, as you all get sucked into the portal.
*****
You are now a random background pony. You are currently headed toward Sugar Cube Corner. You knew that you always passed the hospital on your way there from your house. It was a short walk, so you got there fairly quickly. As you continue walking, you eventually see the hospital, but when you got there, there was a group of ponies grouped around one of the hospital walls.
“What in the name of... what is going on,” you say to the group of ponies.
“Well, three Pegasi came out of a portal and crashed into the hospital wall. They are not that injured, but then again it was ironic that they crashed into the hospital,” somepony said.
“How did they go through a portal if their just Pegasi,” you said.
“Well we think they were forced into the portal, but we’re not sure,” said another pony.
“I wonder who sent them through the portal,” you ask to nopony in particular.
*****
Five minutes earlier...
You are now Adam. You and your friends are currently flying through a portal that appeared, and it’s taking, a really... really... really long time.
“Well this is not what I imagined how going through a portal would feel like,” you said, still hugging Summer and Savanna.
“I agree with you on that, this is kind of taking forever,” Savanna said, agreeing.
“I wonder what’s taking so long, this is quite the time we’re taking,” Summer asked to nobody in particular.
“Well what ever is going on, it better-” and for the third time, you were interrupted by a series of flashing lights, and then a crash, as you were blinded, and slightly uncomfortable.
“Oh come on, can I at least finish one sentence without getting interrupted,” you said, still blind.
“Wait, why are we blind, I can’t see anything, are we-” was all Savanna said before a load warping sound rang through the air, as you all suddenly hit a solid wall, with a loud crash.
~~~~~
...
*BEEP...
...
*BEEP...
...
*BEEP...
...
You are suddenly awoken to the sound of beeping. You feel around the area your in... A bed... what happened..? You mentally ask yourself. You try to open your eyes but realize that you have a bandage over them. Woah... what did happen? You once again ask yourself. You continue to lie there until you actually got the idea of speaking.
“Ugh, what happened... and where am I,” you say somewhat out loud.
“Hmm, I see that your awake, not really surprising, but still quite good, when we saw you crashed, we didn’t think you’d make it, but I guess I was wrong,” a feminine voice said.
“What... AGH, ok never do that again,” you said trying to get up, but were instead hit with a massive wave of pain, and unconfort, especially in you back.
“Watch yourself, we don’t want you to get hurt again,” the voice said.
“Well, mind explaining what happened,” you asked.
“Well, we found you crashed into the wall of this very hospital, ironically. Somepony said that you came out of a portal and crashed into the wall,” the voice said. wait, did she just say ‘somepony’? You asked yourself.
“Hmm, I think the part about the portal is right, but I have a question, why do I have bandages over my eyes,” you asked.
“Well for one your forehead was bleeding, along with your nose, probably from the sudden force of getting hit into a wall, but it should have healed, if you want I can take it off,” she asked.
“First off, can you tell me where I am,” you asked.
“You are in the Ponyville hospital, in Equestria, why do you ask,” she said with a question. Well that explains why she said ‘somepony’... wait... EQUESTRIA?!? You asked yourself.
“Umm... no reason...” you say sheepishly. Of all the places you could take us portal, you bring us to Equestria... why? You asked nobody in particular.
“Well, no matter, you can go ahead and take off the bandages,” you said to the voice.
“Alright, here we go and... done, there, try opening your eyes,” the voice said.
You give it a shot at opening your eyes, and not surprisingly, you were slightly blinded by the hospital rooms light. It took you a minute to get a feel of your surroundings, but eventually you can see. You look around the space in the room you were in, and saw you were surrounded by a curtain, it wasn’t to close, so visitors can come and see the patients.
“Well it’s good to see you awake, you do have some nice eyes if I do say so myself,” said the voice to your left. You turn slowly and try to see the voice. To your amazement it was a pony, you knew not to call it a horse.
“Hmm, mind showing me a mirror, it’s been awhile I prosume since I’ve seen myself, plus I did hit a wall... when did I crash into the wall,” you asked, while still managing to lie.
“Well to answer the first one, yes, to answer the second one, that was three and a half days ago, you and your friends looked pretty beat up,” the pony said, grabbing a mirror and showing what you looked like, and, to your amazement, you were your OC.
“Hmm, yeah, wait... my friends... WAIT, MY FRIENDS, where are they? Are they ok,” you asked, beginning to panic.
“Hey, calm down, your friends are fine, to be honest, I thought you were part of a family, seeing how you all seem to be farmers, I mean your talents have to do with plants don’t they,” the, you assume, nurse said questioningly.
“Oh, no they, umm...” you tried to remember their backstory, “well, they are just a friends of mine, sure we grow plants, but two different kinds.”
“What kinds,” the nurse asked
“I grow mint, or used to at least, I had to sell the farm,” you said trying to also remember your backstory as well, “something in the mint killed my parents, so I had no chose but to sell the farm, but then I found out that it was a genetic mutation.”
“Actually, I think I’ve heard the story, ‘A young mint farmer, having had his parents killed by a disease within the plant, having forced to sell his farm, eventually finding out there was a genetic mutation in the mint, that same pony eventually genetically modified it out of the mint, and mint from then on.’ You mean to tell me your that same fellow,” the nurse asked.
“Yep, the very same one, why do you ask,” you asked.
“You do realize that all of Ponyville uses mint at least once a year, you saved all of Ponyville, we knew when we started getting patients in here saying they got sick from mint, I thought they were delusional, but then after seeing the news about the mint, I was thrilled to see that somepony saved a lot of ponies lives, even-though they couldn’t save others, what you did even saved a friend mine who ate a lot of mint products,” the nurse said with a surprised tone.
“All of Ponyville, and many more ponies... wow I didn’t realize how many lives I’ve affected, so is it possible for me to see my friends,” you asked, slightly smiling.
“Yes, well I think we’ve keep them waiting long enough, here let me help you down from the bed, and... there we-” she didn’t finish, as I slipped from my hooves, and fell face first on my face.
“Oh, are you ok,” she asked, looking shocked.
“Yeah, not using legs for awhile can do that to a pony, just give me a sec and... there,” you said, still lyeing about your legs, and finally managing to stand.
“Here, give me a second to get used to this,” you said, trying to walk. You don’t remember where you were told this but you remember the walk cycle for a quadruped is front-left... back-right... front-right... and back-left? You are not entirely sure, but you give the cycle a try, and surprisingly, it worked, and eventually you were walking like a pony.
“Great, it seems your ready then, follow me,” the nurse said, “you can call me Nurce Redheart, if you don’t mind me asking, what is your name.”
Of all the things they didn’t tell you about your OC, it had to be the name. You didn’t know of any names, but you remember watching some episodes with your friends, and all the characters had odd names, but you think of a name that fits you... Mint Cloud... your a Pegasus that grows mint, Mint Cloud is the perfect name.
“Mint Cloud,” you answered.
“Well Mister Cloud, if you don’t mind me asking, how are you able to plant mint if your not an Earth pony,” Nurse Redheart asked.
“Most of my ancestors were Earth ponies, they married Pegasi and that’s how I’m able to plant mint, though they never married Unicorns, that part was the thing what threw me off when my parents told me stories about my ancestors,” you said.
“Hmm, I guess that explains their reason for being able to plant things,” she said pointing toward my friends. I hadn’t realized, but we were in Summer’s and Savanna’s curtain, and there they were, both ponies.
“Yeah, so can I sit in a stool until they wake up,” you asked.
“Go ahead, come find me when they wake up, so I can help them out as well,” Nurse Redheart said.
“Thanks,” you say, finding a stool and putting it in between both of them, so you can watch them both. How you managed to pick up the stool with appendages you’ve never used? You just pushed it, no picking up was involved, it would be too difficult to attempt, and would damage something in the room.
You sit there for a couple of minutes, before you hear ruffling under one of the bedsheets, you turn to see which sister it is, she began shuffling before saying, “ugh... what in the... why do I feel so uncomfortable in my back... where am I, wait... WAIT, Adam, Summer, are you there... Agh, ok don’t do that again,” the sister said, it was Savanna. She was the Purple one from the drawing.
“Hey, careful you’re going to hurt yourself,” you said.
“Adam, is that you? Where are you and why can’t I move,” Savanna said, in a quite scared tone.
“Hey, easy now, the nurse said that you were restrained so you wouldn’t hurt yourself, here let me come to the other side of the bed,” you said, hopping down from the stool.
“Oh, and another thing, were ponies... yeah, and we’re our OCs,” you said, breaking the ice.
“Wait WHAT, is that why I feel unconfortable in my back,” Savanna said.
“Yep, see,” you said moving into view for her to see.
“Well then, I can’t say I’m surprised, but I think you can see what I mean,” she said, in awe that they were ponies.
“Yeah, but you know you should have told me which of the the two other Pegasi were either one of you, but thanks to you blurting out names, I found out who is who,” you said.
“Here let me go get the nurse, she might help you out of the restraint,” you said, trotting off.
You go and try to find the nurse. And there she was, behind the counter, though she looked kind of bored. You walked up to the counter and tell her one of your friends are awake, she follows you back to the room.
“Hey, we’re back,” you said into the room.
“Great, mind getting this restraint off me,” Savanna said.
“Sure, mind telling me your name,” Nurse Redheart said.
You realize that they never told their OC names. Why they never desided to tell you, you’re not sure.
“Lavender sky,” Savanna said.
“Well Miss Sky, would this be your sister,” Nurse Redheart asked.
“Yes that would be my sister,” Savanna said.
“And her name would be...” Nurse Redheart said.
Is it what I think it is, please don’t let it be what I think it is... You say, already feeling what might be coming up.
“Delphinia Sky,” Savanna said.
Damnit... fuck me side ways with a paddle... actually no don’t, that would be painful... You said, mentally cursing Savanna for the pun.
“Well, here let me help you out of bed, this will only take second... and there, there’s another stool over there in the corner If you want to sit and wait for your friend, I’ll be at the front counter when she wakes up,” Nurse Redheart said.
“Yes, well thank you Nurse Redheart,” you said, thanking her for helping.
Savanna seemed surprised by this, but waited until Nurse Redheart left to say, “That was Nurse Redheart! Why didn’t you say anything?”
“What do you mean ‘why didn’t you say anything’, she’s just another Nurse,” you said.
“Well, she a special Nurse,” she said.
“Well come on let’s sit and wait for Summer to wake up,” you said pushing the other stool and moving it next to your stool.
“Yes, well shouldn’t we start calling ourselves by our OC names,” she said.
“Yes, but do you even know my OC’s name? You didn’t give me a name, so I just had to come up with one,” you said slightly annoyed.
“Oh, right, forgot we didn’t give you a name... we also didn’t tell you which one of us is which, so thanks to me saying names out load, you found out who was who... sorry...” she said, sorrily.
“*sigh... it’s fine, the name I made up was Mint Cloud, it makes sense in both aspects,” you said.
“Well... it does make sense, you grow mint and your a Pegasus, so what, we going to call ourselves by our OC’s names or what,” she asked.
“Sure... Lavender Sky,” you said teasingly.
“Oh hush, come on, let’s get to sitting,” Lavender said quite annoyed.
“Yes, let’s,” you said, agreeing.
You two sit there for what seems like hours, but it’s was only minutes. You sit there until a knock at the door alerts you.
“Mr. Cloud and Ms. Sky, you have visitors,” Nurse Redheart said.
“Who are they,” you asked.
“They are Twilight and some of her friends,” she said.
Who? You asked yourself.
Author's Note
"It seems you have visitors..."
Well what a way to trough a twist on a twist. A group of human friends, two are fans of the show, and they all get turned into ponies and get sent to Equestia... through a portal that appeared out of nowhere... seems legit.

Chapter - 2 'New Friends... Old Friends... Everypony Loves Friends...'
“Mr. Cloud and Ms. Sky, you have visitors,” Nurse Redheart said.
“Who are they,” you asked.
“They are Twilight and some of her friends,” she said.
Who? You asked yourself.
*****
Three and a half days earlier...
You are now Twilight Sparkle, and you are currently in your library, reading a book... nothing seems out of the normal here. You always read a book when the time seemed right. When you were sad, angry, happy, you name it. Your assistant, Spike, was currently organizing your books... for the seventh time this week. You continue sitting there, reading your book, until somepony comes in screaming, “Twilight, we have a problem!” You’re compleatly startled so much, that you accidentally fire a bolt of magic at the wall. Wow, what’s with walls getting injured now-a-days.
“Oops... well that’s another wall. Anyway, what’s going on, what’s the matter Applejack,” you said to your friend, currently in the doorway.
“Three ponies came out of a portal and crashed into the hospital wall, that wall is the sixth wall this week, minus the two ah broke on the way here,” Applejack said, slightly blushing.
“Really, we need to stop abusing walls, they have families too,” you said.
“Ahem, the ponies,” she said, getting slightly annoyed.
“Oh, right,” you said, chuckling slightly
You, Spike, and Applejack, headed immediately toward the hospital. When you got there, you saw the obvious dent in the wall of the hospital, you, along with the rest, grimaced over the fact that there were blood splatters all over the wall from the ponies impacting into the wall, though it seems they took quite the blow, there seems to be a lack of bodies and body parts, just blood, and lots of it. So it seems that they are either okay, or they cleaned up the bodies before ponies got suspicious... still, you grimaced.
“Ugh... that is either the worst way ta go, or the funniest way ta go,” Applejack said looking at the wall, “ah mean they got teleported and crashed into the hospital wall.”
“Yeah... well let’s go, before my stomach has other ideas,” you said, still looking at the mess of blood in front of you.
“Yeah, let’s actually check to see if they’re fine or not,” Spike said, walking of toward the hospital door
“Ah second that,” Applejack said, following Spike.
“Yeah...” you said trailing off, before following them away from the bloody mess that was along the wall
You already saw Spike waiting there, with Applejack. You walked up to the reception desk and said, “we’re here to see the ponies that crashed into the wall outside.”
“Alright, follow me,” the nurse said.
“You know they were very lucky to make it out alive,” she said, obvious surprise in her tone, “we weren’t sure if they’d make it or not, but they are alive, asleep, but still alive, sure, one broke a wing, another broke a leg, one broke his nose... I think, it was bleeding a lot, so we assumed they broke it.”
“Well... it’s good to see that they aren’t dead, minus the amount of blood on the wall outside, were they really bleeding that much,” you asked.
“Oh more than that, it was leaking everywhere, so we had to get some cloths and stop the blood from going every where, it was so bad three civilians threw up, just from the amount of blood,” she said. That fact made you feel squeamish.
“Well we managed to get things situated, now they are currently in beds strapped, except for one, he seemed fine, all for the fact his forehead was the only thing bleeding, along with his nose,” the nurse said.
“Yes, well... we didn’t stop by to talk about their blood, we came to see them,” you said, with slight disgust in your tone.
“Oh, right, how rude of me, here follow me,” the nurse said. Weren’t we following you in the first place? You asked yourself.
“And here we are, here are the ponies. The thing that threw me off is that they’re all Pegasi, not one of them was a Unicorn,” the nurse said. This caught you off guard and you tripped forward.
“WHAT! But that’s impossible, unless your implying what I think you are,” you said, shocked.
“Yes, they were most likely forced in the portal, and to their unfortunate luck, they crashed into this hospital, how ironic,” she said, walking over to help you up.
“Well, here are the three Pegasi, they could possibly be part of a family, they all seem to grow plants, so they are farmers of some kind then,” she said, pointing to the three Pegasi.
“But how is that possible, they are Pegasi, only Earth ponies can grow things, unless... no it can’t be...” you said trailing off before checking them for magic. And yes, you did find magic, but it seemed different, the magic in the legs are normal for a Earth pony, not a Pegasus, but still, they had magic there, along with magic in their wings.
“Hmm... they seem to have the same magic as an Earth pony, but they also have magic in their wings. It’s like they combined two ponies’ magic, and this was the result,” you said, astonished.
“Well, hopefully we can hear it from them when they wake up, though that won’t be for a few days, they do look pretty weak,” you said.
“Yeah, well, we’ll come back tomorrow ta check up on them, just ta make sure,” Applejack said.
“Well of course, oh I forgot I haven’t said my name yet, my name is Nurse Redheart, a pleasure to meet you,” Nurse Redheart said.
“Twilight Sparkle.”
“Applejack.”
“Spike.”
“Well come by tomorrow to see them if you’d wish, I’ll let you know when atleast one of them is awake,” Nurse Redheart said, before walking back to the counter.
“Yeah, let’s go, we’re probably busy later today, so let’s go Spike,” you said walking off.
“See ya later, Applejack,” you said.
“Yeah, later,” Applejack said.
You and Spike begin heading back to the library, your not sure how to feel about it, but if they came out of a portal as Pegasi, then that means, they either came from a different universe, or they came from a different part of Equestria. You, Spike, and Applejack returned everyday until one day that they arrived Nurse Redheart said, “oh good you’re here, two are currently awake, and are waiting for their friend to wake up, here follow me so we can see them.” And with that, you all followed her down the hall toward the room in question.
“Mr. Cloud and Ms. Sky, you have visitors,” Nurse Redheart said.
“Who are they,” the dark green Pegasus said.
“They are Twilight and some of her friends,” Nurse Redhear said.
So these are the three Pegasi that crashed into the wall. Time to get some answers. You said mentally.
*****
You are now Mint Cloud, and you’re currently wondering who the fuck Twilight is, and who her friends were.
“You can go ahead and let them in,” Lavender said, though you can feel that she is holding back the urge to fan-gasm over the small group of friends.
“Alright, come on,” Nurse Redheart said, motioning the group to enter.
“Hello, nice to meet you, the name’s Mint Cloud,” you said, holding you hoof out, before realizing that you don’t have hands, before you could put your hoof down, you were grabbed and shaken vigorously.
“Well Howdy-do Mister Cloud, ma name’s Applejack, proud owner of Sweet Apple Acres, and who might you be mis,” Applejack asked, as she moved over to Lavender, and started shaking her as well.
“L-Laven-der S-S-Sky,” Lavender said, before stopping, and trying to herself.
“Well, nice to meet you two, My Name is Twilight Sparkle, current librarian at the-” Twilight was cut off by Lavender saying, ”the Golden Oaks Library?”
“H-how did you know that,” Twilight said nervously. Oh now you’ve gone and done it, we’re going to get caught red handed- er, I mean red hoofed? Ah, whatever you just blew our cover, now what are you going to say, that it was a hunch. You said mentally.
“Eh, just a hunch,” Lavender said. I fucking hate this universe already... You thought to yourself.
“Anyways, we would like to get some answers,” Twilight said.
“Sure, let’s just wait until our friend wakes-” before I could finish for the fourth time, I was elbowed by Lavender.
“No, Mint we don’t need to, it’ll be fine, let’s just go into the hall and talk there,” she said.
“Ok, if you wish,” Twilight said.
The group that walked in, walked back out to the hall, you begin following them when a hoof grabs you and pulls you to the side.
“Ok, listen, we can’t wait for Delpinia to wake up, she will most likely freak out if she sees all these ponies, so for now let’s go talk to them in the hall,” Lavender whispered.
“Oh, yeah, you know you actually smell better in lavender, I like it,” you said, taking a nice sniff at the nice aroma of lavender.
“O-oh, really... well, thanks,” she said slightly blushing
“Well come on they’re waiting for us,” she said.
“Yeah let’s go,” you said following her out into the hall.
You follow Lavender out into the hallway and began to explain what happened, leaving out the part that you were once humans. This went on for quite some time until, “hey is anybody there?”
“Hey, Mint, it’s our friend, let’s go talk to them by ourselves, do you three mind staying out here,” Lavender asked, hesitantly.
“Of course not, we’ll wait out here,” Twilight said. You and Lavender walked back into the room, and closed the door behind you.
“Hey Summer, It’s us” you said to Delphinia/Summer.
“Adam, is that you, where’s Savanna,” she questioned, beginning to panic.
“Hey, I’m right here, no need to worry,” Lavender said.
“Oh thank Celestia you guys are ok,” Delphinia said relieved that we are ok. Weird how she uses what I think is the God of this place as a saying, even though she doesn’t know that we are actually here. You thought.
“Hey, um, Summer, promise you won’t freak out, ok,” you ask.
“What’s the matter, are we dead, please tell me we’re not dead,” she said.
“No, actually is way better than that, here follow me, Savanna,” you said motioning Lavender to follow.
“See..” you said trailing off.
“Omg... Omg... Omg! OMG!!!!” Delphinia said, getting louder each time. Damn, she sure does love the surprise, I wonder how she would react if we told her she was one too. you thought.
“It gets even better... your one too,” you said, with a smile on your face as the light blue pony fan-gasms.
“Oh... my... this... is... AMAZING,” she said ecstatic, and out of breath.
“Hey calm down you going to hurt yourself, here let me go get the nurse to help you,” you said, as you went to go get the nurse.
“Hey, what’s the matter, where are you going,” Twilight asked.
“To go get the nurse,” you said.
“Why,” she asked.
“My friend needs to have the restraint taken off them,” you said heading off to get the nurse.
You find her and tell her your friend is awake. She follows you back, and gets the restraint off her.
“Thank you Nurse Redheart, here let me help her out of bed,” you said, moving over to Delphinia’s bed.
“Your welcome, now I’ll let you three talk with them, and then we can check you out of the hospital, sound good,” she asked.
“Sure,” you said. After she left, you all begin talking, telling them things, and leaving out the part about being humans.
“Well I think now is a good time to leave, the sun is beginning to set,” you said, before your stomach began to growl, with that, you began to blush, “and maybe get some food.” Everypony, as you think it’s how it’s said, began laughing.
“Yeah... wait I just realized where are we going to stay, we have nowhere to go,” Lavender said.
“Oh, right we don’t have anywhere to sleep,” Delphinia said.
“Oh, well you three can stay with me in the library, though I only have two couches, so your going to have to find a way to share them,” Twilight said.
“I think I know of a way...” you said, trailing off.
“Well we can do it later today, for now let’s go get something to eat,” Lavender said.
“Yes well, Spike already passed out an hour ago from the stories, so let’s head to Sugar Cube Corner to get something,” Twilight suggested.
“Yeah, you can do that, ah gota head back ta tha farm, don’t want anyone to worry about me,” Applejack said, before beginning to head for the door.
“Yeah, see you later Applejack, it was nice to meet you,” you said.
“Yeah,” both Lavender and Delphinia said.
“Well let’s go before it gets too late,” Twilight said. You all head for the counter and Nurse Redheart checked you out of the Hospital. You all started to make your way down the path toward Sugar Cube Corner, though in the background you could hear faint gasps as ponies around you began staring at you, but you paid no mind to them, you know they are shocked to see you alive after the impact that you took. You make it to your destination and enter the establishment.
“Hey Pinkie, you here,” Twilight asked, shouting at the air.
“Yeah, what’s the matter Twi- *GASP,” a pink pony said before gasping, and flying off to who knows where. what... the fuck just happened... did she break the forth wall... or am I just crazy, ‘cause she was floating in the air for awhile before flying off to who knows where... yeah I think she did. You thought
“Well... that happened...” you said trailing off.
“It’s best not to think about it too hard, your head might just hurt from trying to understand,” Twilight said.
“Oh, no need, I already understand what happened,” you said, shocked.
“WHAT! What do you mean you understand,” Twilight asked.
“Well for starters, what she did was break the fourth wall,” you said.
“The... fourth wall,” Twilight asked.
“Yes, here let me explain, the fourth wall is a plain of existence that separate realities, breaking the fourth wall can cause things to happen, like what pinkie did, it’s like when a story book character knows they are in a book, though, it can have some nasty affects on both worlds if one breaks it, if one pony in this case saw past the fourth wall, then they have broken it, and ponies that are behind that wall will be affected by the other pony that broke it in the first place, thus causing bad things to happen. Have you ever seen pinkie in weird places, disappear from places, or she does things that a pony shouldn’t be able to do,” you asked.
“Yes... why,” Twilight asked.
“That’s also breaking the fourth wall, though it’s not affecting the ponies beyond it, they can feel it,” you said.
“Oh, this is so nice, I love learning new things, but it seems someponies don’t like your long lectures,” she said, pointing to the ponies that are hugging you while they sleep, smiling.
“Yes, well, they were never ones for listening to my rambles, but the good thing is that I’ve taught somepony something new,” you said, picking up the two Pegasi and putting them on your back, they... feel oddly soft and warm, especially around their chest.
“Well just to say, the fourth wall isn’t actually a wall,” you said.
“Oh, right, anyway let’s get some food and head back to the library,” Twilight said.
“Yeah, hmm...” you said trailing off.
“Something the matter,” she asked.
“Not really, I’d expected them to be a lot heavier then this, but their not, anyway their is one thing that I didn’t explain while we were back in the hospital,” you said, walking up to the counter.
“Well what is it... yes Mrs. Cake I would like two cup cakes, what flavor do they like,” she asked.
“Chocolate for Lavender and vanilla for Dephinia,” you said.
“And, a cinnamon bun, what do you want,” she asked.
“What do you have,” you asked the pony apparently named Mrs. Cake.
“Well we have, cupcakes in chocolate, vanilla, cherry, mint, or a combination of them. We also have chocolate, mint, vanilla, cherry, or combination cake slices. The sweet tarts in cherry, strawberry, apple, or cinnamon with chocolate,”
“I’ll take a chocolate and mint cake slice, and a chocolate and mint cupcake for later,” you said.
“Hmm, we haven’t had anypony order mint in a while... what’s your name friend,” she asked.
“Mint cloud,” you said.
“And your a Pegasus... how is it that your able to plant mint,” she asked.
“How did you know,” you asked.
“Oh, I could tell by your cutie mark dear,” she said. Well shit... I forgot about this ‘cutie mark’ thing on my ass. You thought
“Well my ancestors were Earth ponies and Pegasi,” you said.
“Hmm, so do you still grow, or what,” she said.
“No... had to sell the farm, both my parents were killed by something in the mint,” you said.
“I knew it...” she said, barely allowing you to hear.
“I beg your pardon,” you ask.
“So, after all this time you finally came, Hero Of The Mint,” she said.
“Hero Of The Mint? What do you mean,” you asked.
“Don’t play dumb, you are the one who saved the mint, am I not wrong,” she said.
“Mint, what is she talking about, I thought you were just a regular mint farmer,” Twilight said.
“Like I said, I didn’t tell you everything,” you said. This statement shocked Twilight, you knew what she wanted to know, so you said, “mind we grab a seat, this is a long story.”
“Sure, it’s about time, Hero, you explained everything to your friend here, after that I have something for you,” Mrs. Cake said.
You and Twilight grab a chair, or more like she levitated a chair and you pushed a chair, and sat down. You then explained the backstory to her, she is shocked by the fact that you saved many lives here in Ponyville, she also didn’t understand what genetic modification is.
“Are you kidding me, do you seriously not know what genetic modification is,” you asked.
“No... I never read about it cause Unicorns could always change a plant if they didn’t like it, so by the way your saying it, the disease in the plant could not be modified by magic,” she asked.
“Yes, but I’ll have to tell you later, right now didn’t you have something for me Mrs. Cake,” you asked.
“Yes, Hero, I have something that has been put into my trust, since you left this dimension, and universe, I have kept it safe but others before me have also kept it safe, if ever the time you came back,” Mrs. Cake said, going toward the kitchen, “here, follow me.”
You and Twilight follow her to the kitchen, with your friends on your backs. You eventually make it so far in to the kitchen that it becomes less illuminated. But you eventually find what your looking for, a vault with a strange symbol on it.
“Well here we are, the vault,” she said, “here step up to the platform.”
“Ok, should I set my friends down,” you asked.
“Yes, only you should be able to step on the platform,” she said.
You step onto the platform and it begins rising slightly, then it stops. With that, you hear some air puffing out of the vault as it begins opening.
“There let’s go retrieve what’s inside, and that will be yours,” she said, walking inside. You follow close behind.
“And there is what you came for,” she said, pointing toward three silver bands.
“What are they,” Twilight asked.
“They are the Silver Bands of Grouth and Lands, your ancestors created these bands to help crops grow quicker, make easy escapes, or to help out ponies, many were made, three were given to me and they are right here,” she said, ”once you put it on, it is bound to you, and will not work for others, but if the intent was used for evil, then the powers will become useless and the band will disappear, until someother pony uses it for good, do you, Mint Cloud, want to take the responsibility of your ancestors, and help others, like you did with the mint,” she asked.
“Yes, I do, I would love to help others,” you said, as a band began to rise from the pedestal and float toward you, you hold out your hoof and the band fits on perfectly, the other two begin to rise as well, as if they have found the others that deserve them. They then fly fast around the two ponies that are on your back, and the bands fit perfectly on.
“Well it seems we also have some other heros, how fourtunate, well the next time they wake up, you should tell them, but for now you and your friends have been trusted by the bands themselves, now that that’s done, let’s get you your order so you can head home, sound good,” Mrs. Cake said, heading out of the vault.
“Yeah, it is getting late, lets go,” Twilight said, following Mrs. Cake.
“Hmm... yes,” you said, as you feel the bands energy already working its thing.
After a few minutes of waiting Mrs. Cake brought out our orders, and sent us on our way. You and Twilight start heading to the library, while carrying two ponies on your back. You eventually make to the library, and by then the sun has set.
“Well thanks for letting us stay, Twilight,” you said, putting both Lavender and Delphinia on the floor gently.
“No problem, well, will you need some help with the couches,” she asked.
“Sure, push each couch where the sides you sit on are touching each other,” you said, and she did so.
“Thanks, now to get these to the couches,” you said picking them up, and putting them on the couches.
“Here, let me wake them so they can eat something,” you said, trying to wake them up.
“Huh... what happened...” Delphinia said waking up.
“Well you passed out, thanks to my lecture, we got food, and Mrs. Cake gave the three of us things that our ancestors used,” you said.
“Oh... wait the three of us,” she asked.
“Yeah, check your leg,” you said pointing to her leg. And there on her leg was a silver band.
“She said they were called the Silver Bands of Grouth and Lands, she said multiple were made, she held three, for when the hero would return, ‘Hero Of The Mint’ she said, and we have to now protect and help other ponies, with the power within these bands,” you said.
“Wow, what do they do,” she asked.
“She didn’t say, she said we’ll find out on our own,” you said.
“Oh well, you said you brought food, what did you bring,” she said.
“Well since you were asleep, we didn’t know what you wanted, so we got you cupcakes, I know you like vanilla,” you said, taking the cupcake and bringing it to her.
“Oh you know me so well,” she said taking the cupcake.
“Yeah, I got a chocolate and mint slice of cake and cupcake,” you said taking out the slice and biting it. It tasted better than what they make back on earth, and healthier seeing as the ingredients are natural.
“Anyway, mind waking Lavender,” you asked, “so I can give her this cupcake.”
“Sure.” And she did so.
“Mmm... five more minutes,” Lavender said, still half asleep.
“Come on Lavender, I got your favorite flavor of cupcake, chocolate,” you said, and with that the once sleeping Lavender, was now slowly rising up and stared at me.
“So,” she said grabbing the cupcake out of my hand and takeing a bite, “what happened while we were out.”
You then proceed to explain everything, from Mrs. Cake finding out about you, to the vault, to the bands on our legs, this made her stop chewing.
“Wait, so what do they exactly do,” she asked.
“We don’t know, she said we had to find out,” you said, finishing your cake.
“Hmm... oh well, we should get some sleep, it is pretty late,” Lavender said, laying back down onto the couch.
“Yeah, come on, lets get some sleep,” Delphinia said, doing the same.
“Yeah, well you can take the couch, I’ll be fine on the floor,” said trying to find a spot on the floor that would seem confortable enough, before you could find one you were suddenly dragged by the hoof onto the couch.
“What the-” you tried to say as the two sister that you came with you snuggled up with you, as you could feel what seemed like extra soft fur in their chest. You look down and see... chest fluff... you didn’t see any other pony have chest fluff, so you assume that only Pegasi can have chest fluff. Damn... this stuff is so soft. I’m enjoying this already. You thought, as Twilight came down the stares and blew out the lights, and you fell asleep in the grasp of your two friends.
*****
You are now Twilight, and are headed to your bed to sleep, as you saw your friends share the couch. You pull parchment paper and begin writing.
“Dear Princess Celestia,
a few days ago, a group of ponies came out of a portal, and ironically, crashed into the hospital wall. Today we went to go see if they were alright, and they were awake, or atleast two of the three, but when I visited them a few days ago they were all Pegasi, implying that they were forced into said portal, but another thing was that they were farmers, yes you heard me, FARMERS! Their names were Mint Cloud, and Lavender and Delphinia Sky. I will update you on somethings I’ve found out about them once I get more information, until then,
your fateful student, Twilight Sparkle.”
You then send the letter with a spell instead of Spikes fire, so you don’t have to wake him up. With the letter sent, you prepare your bed for sleep. With it prepared, you then begin to fall sleep, with today’s experience behind you.

"Well it's seems they chose you, instead of you choosing them..."
Well there you go second chapter. Hmm if only I could do some art to go with this, but I suck at drawing, a reason why I write and type instead of draw... and why at this point I have no cover art.

The (Somewhat) Great Adventures of a Group of ("Human") Friends
Chapter - 3 'Why Must I Have No Knowledge Of This World?'
You are now Mint Cloud, and are currently having a dream, but you don’t realize your in one just yet. “Huh, this seems weird,” you said, looking at the vastness of the space in front of you.
“Hmm... I wonder...” you said trailing off.
You then begin to think about your old solar system, looking life-like standing, or floating above a pedestal. And there, was what you thought exactly... The solar system, then you begin to imagine a large room with a fire place, a table and chair at one end, a reclining chair at the other, and the solar system in the middle. It’s quite the beautiful room, you, watching the planets go by, at speeds that will never happen with time.
“Nice, well time to relax, today was rough, and it was tiring, time to get some well deserved rest, these hooves are going to get me killed if I don’t get used to them, these limbs are also going to need some getting used to,” you said, plopping right onto the reclining chair and looking at your legs.
“Hmm... I wonder why Nurse Redheart said I have some nice looking eyes, they are probably just the same as any eyes. She probably has an eye fetish,” you said.
“Oh I assure you, that you have some stellar eyes,” a feminine voice called.
“Huh? Anypony there,” you said looking around the room. And you saw lying in a couch that you didn’t see nearby before, was a very large pony with wings and and a horn, they were a nightly blue color palate.
“Who might you be,” the pony said.
“I might just have to ask you the same thing... But that would be rude of me... My name is Mint Cloud, a pleasure to meet you,” you said.
“Princess Luna, keeper of the dream realm, you know when I saw that there was a new dream in the dream realm, I had to see it, but you don’t seem familiar, are you not from here,” she said.
“I am not from here, nor from this world, as you can probably tell from the floating planets going around the sun in the center of the room,” you said, pointing toward the pedestal.
“Hmm... This is an interesting piece as a decoration, what is it, it’s very fascinating,” she said looking at it closely.
“Well that is my old universe’s solar system, you said you are the keeper of the dream realm, does that mean you take care of the night,” you asked.
“Yes, I look after ponies who are having bad dreams, and help them over come their fears,” she said.
“Hmm... Is that all you do,” you asked.
“No, I also raise and lower the moon every night, why do you ask,” she asked. This shocked you but you didn’t show it.
“Well, you might like this,” you said, thinking about the moons of the different planets. And then the solar system began glowing and with a flash the moons of each planet appeared. Luna’s eye widened as she saw every moon begin to move around each planet, except Mercury and Venus, seeing as they don’t have moons.
“Are... Are these...” she tried to say, but you cut her off.
“Yes, those are moons, look at the green and blue planet, that is my old planet,” you said, pointing toward Earth.
“Oh, this is amazing, thank you for showing me this,” she said.
“No problem, but I must say, traveling universes is not the best thing when your forced into a portal,” you said.
“Ah yes, my sister informed me about this, that you and your friends, that are currently sleeping, have been forced through a portal, I wouldn’t prosume that your universe is also a universe where everypony is a pony,” she said.
“No... Sadly, you see, me and my friends were once humans, do you know about them,” you asked.
“I believe so, you were once humans,” she asked.
“Yes, but it was after a big flash of light that happened in the portal while we were in it, that I believe changed us into Pegasi,” you said.
“Hmm... This is interesting, but it seems that our talk has to wait until next time you have a dream, the moon has to be lowered after all,” she said, getting up from the couch.
“Hey, before you leave, don’t tell anypony we’re humans, okay, we don’t want to cause panic of some kind,” you said.
“Of course, will my sister be fine, she co-rules Equestria with me, I don’t think she will tell a soul,” she said.
“Yes, she is fine,” you said.
“Well I better get going, I will see you later, happy sleeping,” she said, before going through a hole and disappearing.
“She seems like a nice pony... Wait... Did she say... My eyes looked stellar... Oh boy... So... She doesn’t have an eye fetish,” you said, beginning to blush.
“Well then, so when am I...” you said, trailing off.
“Oh, wait I’m my own body, I can wake my self up,” you said, prepareing to wake up.
~~~~~
“Your so nice and soft Mint, don’t ever leave our side.” You awoke to the sound of Delphinia saying something in her dream. How nice, she’s having a dream about me. You thought.
“Who knew you liked my butt that much...” she said, sighing. Okay, never mind, that’s not nice, why did you have to have of all things a wet dream. But should I really stop it... Actually I probably should, for the better. You thought, as you decided to wake her up by poking her in the side, and it worked.
“Huh... What happened,” she asked, as she slowly started to wake up.
“Morning, sorry I had to wake you, but there’s a reason why you need to sleep without me nearby,” you said.
“Why- oh... Did I have a wet dream again...” she said, blushing very brightly, almost to the point where she might nose bleed.
“Yes, you did... With me in it, you need to start controlling it more often, if not, it’s eventually going to happen, and neither of us want that, right,” you asked, and she finally started to nose bleed a little, but not to the point where she will pass out.
“Yes... I’m... Not ready for that yet, but the dreams keep getting stronger, but your right none of us are ready for that yet, unless something that usually happens during the spring and summer months happens, then...” she said, wiping off the blood coming out of her nose.
“What are you not telling me...” you asked, worried that they might be hiding something.
“Oh, nothing,” she said, blushing even more to the point where she finally bled more, and passing out. She laid there on the couch, blood coming from her nose and her legs twitching, you could see something else... But you looked away, so you don’t see it, you knew exactly what it was, you didn’t want to look at it anymore than you might have, but you felt like taking a peek wouldn’t hurt... No, she’s your friend and nothing more, but the thought caused you to nose bleed as well. Though you didn’t pass out, you got up still blushing you move over to Lavender and poked her in the side.
“Hmm... Five more hours...” Lavender said, pushing her mane in front of her eyes.
“Come on, you have something to tell me, because Delphinia won’t tell me and she’s passed out cold, take a look,” you said, pointing at her. Lavender got up and began to look at Dephinia.
“She had a wet dream again,” she asked.
“Yep, but that’s not what put her like this,” you said.
“Then what was it,” she said.
“Well she said, and I quote, ‘unless something that usually happens during the spring and summer months happens,’ what does she mean by this,” you asked.
“Hmm... She might be talking about estrus, that usually happens during spring and summer months,” she said.
“The heck is estrus,” you asked.
“Estrus, or heat, as it’s also called, is when a mare goes into heat, and becomes fertile for producing foals, but seeing as this worlds stallion to mare ratio is one to four, mares get crazy when there’s a male nearby, they can smell your masculine musk, and will get very, very, very aroused, so aroused that its gets very hard to get off it and it’s bothersome for the mare. She on the other hand wants you for when the time comes,” she said, waking up more.
“Oh... Ok... Wait WHAT,” you asked.
“She want to be with you when the time comes, it’s means she ‘wants’ you,” she said.
“Oh... My...” you said, before more blood came out of your nose and you also passed out.
*****
You are now Lavender Sky... And you just witnessed Mint pass out.
“Ugh... What am I going to do with you both,” you said looking down at the pair. And when you saw Mint, you saw his... ‘man pack.’ A smile crossed your face...
“Well, might as well have some fun before Twilight gets up, he usually never finds out I do this to him all the time while he sleeps,” you said, plopping down near Mint’s tail, giggling to yourself, as you saw the passed out Mint Cloud lay there, twitching.
~~~~~
After your ‘fun’ time with Mint, and his quite massive ‘man pack’, you got up and proceeded to head into the kitchen to find something to eat. Cereal, bread, fruit, veggies... Dandelions?
“What... Oh right, I forgot... Ponies eat flowers as well...” you said grabbing some bread and putting it on a plate. You then start looking for a magnifying glass, and there on Twilight’s desk was a magnifying glass.
“How convenient,” you said, grabbing the magnifying glass in your hoof,” it kinda acts like a hand, you just have to imagine there’s a hand there. Nice.”
You then head outside, and place the plate on the floor, you grab the magnifying glass and point it at the bread and it began to toast.
“Well, thank Celestia for this,” you said, looking at your toast.
You walked back inside, and made yourself, Delphinia, and Mint a dandelion sandwich. You go to wake them up.
*****
You are now Mint Cloud, and you were just poked in the side, you also feel... Wait a minute... Why does ‘it’ feel strange... Lavender you didn’t... you feel around... Oh you did, I’ma get you back for that. Why do you always do this when I’m asleep... You also know I’m saving myself for that special somebody- er, special somepony, whatever I’m going to have to get you for this, after I clean ‘it’ and My nose. You thought.
“You had to... Didn’t you...” you said out loud.
“Oh come on, don’t be so mad, I made us breakfast, plus I had to clean you out, you don’t know how long you had pressure down there,” she said bringing a plate and pointing a hoof between your legs.
“Hey you know I’m saving myself for that special someone,” you said.
“Yeah well, you were doing nothing else, now here eat up, had to use the sun to cook this so, get to eating,” she said, grabbing her sandwich and taking a bite, her eyes widened, as she continued to eat. You take a sandwich, and take a bite, it tastes amazing, but you don’t know what it is.
“Well, well, I thought you were bad a cooking, but I guess I was wrong, what kind of sandwich is this,” you asked.
“Dandelion,” she said, smirking. You stop chewing... You swallow... You take another bite... It tastes good... Hmm it seems that now that you’re a pony, you can eat this.
“This is good, I might just have to make a modification of this with tomatoes, and lettuce,” you said taking more bites out of it.
“Why didn’t you tell me anything about this world before,” you asked.
“Well, for one this is a library, read something for once, and two, we will, just give us some time,” she said.
“Well it better be quick, cause I don’t want to travel a world without any knowledge of it,” you said.
“Hmm... For starters, don’t go into the Everfree Forest, it is the most dangerous forest near Ponyville,” she said.
“Alright, so at least I won’t die from dangerous things in the forest, smart thinking,” you said.
“Thanks, now let’s finish up so you can go shower, I can still smell you down there,” she said. You give her a glare so powerful it might just take the color out of her.
You finish up and head up stares to the bathroom and take a shower. After washing yourself of your musk, you proceed to head back down and grab your things: the cupcake, I think that’s the only thing you had. Anyway, you then realize that you forgot Your a Pegasus, you need to learn how to fly... Oh boy... Why must this universe hate me so... You thought.
“Hey Lavender, did you wake Delphinia yet, there’s something I want us to do and I need her to be awake,” you said picking up your cupcake.
“Yeah, she’s over there, eating her sandwich, she didn’t care what it was, it’s food none the less,” she said,” so what’s this plan you’ve got for us.”
“Well I was thinking we practice flying, seeing as we haven’t flown a day in our lives, what do you think,” you said.
“Really! You want to practice with us,” Delphinia slightly shouted.
“Yes, I think it will be a nice,” you said.
“Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you,” both Delphinia and Lavender both started saying at the same time, this continued on for a few minutes.
“Well come on, if we don’t go now, something bad might happen,” you said, moving to the door.
“Yeah, let’s go,” Lavender said, following you.
*****
You are now Twilight Sparkle, and you woke to the sound of the door shutting.
“Huh... What... Oh it must be Mint and his friends... Why does it smell like... Oh...” you said, blushing from the scent of a stallion in the air.
“I think, either one of them had that kind of dream and accidentally did ‘it,’ or one of them just did him while he slept, either one... Wait I can’t smell a mares musk... So it was the second... Oh my...” you said, before blood came from your nose.
“I’m just going to go get some breakfast,” you said, sighing. You got up and went into the kitchen you saw some plates and your magnifying glass on your table with some left over toast. How did they toast it if spike is still sleeping... Oh wait the magnifying glass... Now I see, they know more then they say they do. You thought to yourself.
*****
You are now Mint Cloud, and you, Lavender, And Delphinia are practicing flying, so you don’t seem like some weirdos.
“This is now as easy as I thought it was going to be...” you said, with your head stuck in a cloud.
“It’s easy, just get your head out of the clouds,” Delphinia said, while Lavender was laughing her lungs out. They both managed to fly, but for a person who has never seen the show, you can have some problems, especially with clouds.
“Is this the thanks I get, universe, for being here with them, huh is that it, is this some cruel joke,” you said, at the top of your lungs.
“Here, let’s get you out of there,” Lavender said.
“Thanks... You guys make it look so easy... I wish I knew how to fly...” you said, slightly disappointed.
“Well its simple, just flap your wings and take off,” Delphinia said, flying off into the air.
“Show off,” you said.
“Well here, we’ll take it slow for you. Just flap your wings... Okay now fly in the direction you want to fly... Good, your doing it, alright,” she said.
“Yeah, now lets get down, we have to head back to Twilight’s before she gets worried,” Lavender said.
“Well... That was... Fun, yeah, let’s head back,” you said, flying off toward town, Delphinia and Lavender followed.
You made it back to the library, and found Twilight reading a book, she looked up from her book and said,” hey, so what did you all do while you were out.”
“Fly, just fly,” you said.
“Well, if that’s all, then I might as well ask this, who did ‘you know what’ to Mint, because he was the only stallion in the library,” she asked, pointing to me.
“Hehe... Well you see...” Lavender started to say, but never finished.
“Lavender, you have nobod- err nopony else to blame but yourself, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out,” you said out loud.
“Well, are you going to explain,” Twilight said, looking at Lavender.
Lavender began to explain what happened and both you and Delphinia blushed.
“So that explains the smell you left in my library, it’s a good thing it didn’t last long or ponies would start getting suspicious,” Twilight said.
“Well now that that is taken care of, we will-” you were interrupted by a letter popping in front of Twilight.
“What’s it say,” Lavender said, looking at Twilight.
“Dear my fateful student,
I will be visting in an hour after you get this letter, I personally want to see these ponies myself, I will explain more when I arrive, until then,
Yours truly, Princess Celestia.
Ps. Luna’s coming as well.”
“So we’re getting visited by the princess... Wait Twilight, did you send a letter to Princess Celestia last night,” Delphinia asked.
“How did you know I traded letters with the princess,” Twilight asked. Oh fuck... Now we’re so boned, you just had to say it, let me guess, your going to say it was a hunch again... You mentally scolded them.
“Oh, just a hunch,” Delphinia said. Called it... I FUCKING CALLED IT. You thought, it was a good thing you didn’t scream it out loud.
“Hmm... Ok well we might as well get these couches back to where they were before she arrives,” Twilight said.
“Yeah, let’s,” you said.
You all begin tidying up the place, and getting it ready for when Celestia arrives, who should be arriving right about...
*knock knock
....now.
“I’ll get it,” Spike said, walking to the door.
“Oh, hello spike, may we come in,” the pony at the door said.
“Of course, Twilight is over here,” Spike said, letting the two ponies in, one of them you already recognized to be Princess Luna, the other you presume is Princess Celestia.
“Oh, well look who it is, the one who said my eyes looked ‘stellar,’ none other than Princess Luna, I see you brought your sister, so, I might as well introduce myself to you Princess Celestia, my name’s Mint Cloud, and these two are Lavender and Delphinia Sky,” you said, first looking at Luna then to Celestia, then pointing to your friends.
“Nice to meet you, you know when she said you had stellar eyes, I didn’t believe her myself, but I guess she was right,” Celestia said, looking at you more thoroughly. What the hell is wrong with ponies getting entranced by my eyes. You thought.
You look over at Lavender and Delphinia, they look like there’re about to explode from fanning over the two royal sisters in the room. Would the term ‘adorkable’ fit or is that only for Twilight, cause just the way they both speak, it’s too hard to tell. you said mentally, while also regretting thinking it.
“Well... Enough about that, we came to talk,” Celestia said.
“Talk,” you asked.
“Yes, talk, when we heard that four and half day ago, you three crashed into the wall, I was shocked, for that was when I got a magical disturbance, it was during day court when suddenly I was hit with a massive shock and passed out, you would not believe how many walls I broke with magic, just from that shock,” she said.
*****
Four and a half days earlier...
You are now Celestia a few days earlier, and are currently in day court, a few minutes before the inevitable shock.
“Yes, your highness, I realize that this is a bit wierd, but the combination of both Unicorn and Alicorn magic may increase the output of the spell used, I would like for you to consider the possibilities,” a white unicorn mare said.
“Yes, well thank you again, Ms. Root, this does seem like an interesting idea, I will put it trough some consideration,” you said.
“Thank you,” the pony said, before heading out the door...
“Well, that sure was interesting, she has always been a nice mare, wonder how her colt-friend is doing, she did explain that she got the courage to speak to me from him the last time she was here, though she was shivering a lot, though her coat did look a bit smaller than most ponies, anyway bring in the-” you stopped, the guards noticed this and looked up at the you.
“Your highness, is something the matter,” one asked.
“Something doesn’t seem... AAAAHHHHHHHHHH,” you screamed, as you were hit with a massive shock and it caused you to shoot a bolt of magic at the wall. You then passed out, but you could still hear some things before you lost consciousness.
“PRINCESS,” the guards screamed, looking at you.
“Quick, get the royal medics, until then tell the other ponies day court is canceled for the reason the princess has been knocked out cold,” one the guards said, as the other ran off. And with that you were knocked unconscious.
~~~~~
Two days later in the Canterlot Hospital...
... ... ...
*Beep
...
*Beep
...
*Beep
...
You are awoken to the sound of beeping, but it’s not too close so it doesn’t kill your eardrums, but close enough to where you can hear.
“Oh my... What happened...” you said, opening your eyes.
“Oh thank the heavens your alright, we were worried when we saw you come in passed out, most of us even cried,” the doctor said.
“Oh, its only you Doctor Tenderhoof, mother of me, what happened,” you asked.
“Well, from the guards discription, you were talking to yourself and you were just about to ask for the next pony to come in for day court when you stopped,” he said. I do recall that, then... You thought.
“They asked what was the matter, then you said, ‘something doesn’t seem’ and then you began screaming in pain, with that you shot a bolt of magic at the wall, sadly,” he said. Oh no... That poor wall... That was the thirteenth wall this week. You thought.
“So then they sent for medics and they brought you hear, what could of caused you to scream like that, we heard it, though it only seems like Canterlot was the only town that heard, no other towns are asking what happened,” he said.
“Let me try to recall what happened...” you trail off.
You then explain that you were in day court as usual, when a massive shock hit you.
“Oh my... I would have screamed like that too if I were massively shocked, but if it took that much of a shock to just knock you out, and your more durable than other ponies, then if that shock hit anypony else then...” he paused. You knew why he didn’t finish the sentence.
“Yes, well, am I good to go,” you ask.
“Yes, if you seem fine, then you are free to go, stop by the counter, and I’ll check you out,” he said.
“Will you help me out of bed,” you asked.
“Yes,” he said.
You got out of bed and began walking around a bit, you look out the window and saw most ponies walking around, sad expressions on their faces, they were sad about what happened...
~~So it seems our ‘host’ has woken up, great.~~ A voice said in your mind.
You know princess, if we’re going to live in your mind, you have to at least make sure we don’t die while you get shocked, you nearly fried us. Another said.
We would like to go one day without work, maybe go visit Twilight after this. ...
Well well well... If it isn’t the ones that talk with me in my brain. However, I can’t get over the fact you called yourselves weird names, so who’s all here. You thought.
~~Seth.~~
Benjamin.
Ulises.
Okay, so all of you are... So we ready to head out? You asked the trio of voices.
Ready when you’re ready.
Good. You thought.
~~Wow, schizophrenia can be a pain in the flank, can’t it?~~
Yes, but the only good that came out of it was us, and we’re helping you out, without us you’d probably be dead by now.
...
Ah, showing us the silent treatment, eh.
“I don’t want to talk about it...” you said out loud, as you walked down the hall, trying to keep your pose, as you continued to walk, ponies look at you, they knew you were struggling, but you paid them no mind.
~~So why now do you decide to talk out loud.~~
“Because I want to,” you said. Ponies began to wonder why you were talking to yourself, they began to whisper things.
“Why don’t we be quiet for the rest of trip back to the castle, sound good,” you suggested.
...sure...
~~...why not...~~
...okay...
“Thank you, at least I can get some peace and quiet inside my mind while we get there,” you said, quite loudly. Ponies again wondered who you were talking to. A Doctor, whom you never knew, began looking at you curiously, and he lit his horn.
~~Hey get out of our head, Doc.~~
Do we have somepony sneaking into our head again?
Yep, like Seth said, its that Doctor, over there.
“Will you Three quit, I don’t care if there are fifty doctors currently in my head, you will shut up until we get back to the castle,” you half screamed. The Doctor then looked at you dumbfounded by what he just heard, though you could probably tell from his expression that he’s saying,’ what is going on in that mind of her’s?’
...
...
~~...~~
“Thank you,” you said.
You countinued down the hall until you reached the counter and the doctor checked you out, but not before checking your status. Everything seemed fine until... He saw your mental status was out of control since the last time he checked, but he put it off as being royalty, you didn’t care, you just wanted to get back to the your living quarters, where your had the ‘numb’ pills, though you knew that your mind had other ideas.
“Well thanks again doc, see you around,” you said, as you walked out the door.
Ponies in the street stopped and gazed in amazement that their princess is fine, you paid them no mind as you began to head back to the castle.
“Your highness,” one of the guards that were guarding the gate said.
“Thank you, if I may, can I only have one escort,” you asked, and they agreed.
“Thank you, follow me, this way please,” you said.
You and the guard continue walking for what seemed like hours, it was only, once again, minutes.
“Hey, Sargent Longbow, mind, while we wait, I tell you something,” you asked.
“Not at all, your highness,” the Sargent said.
“You must not tell anyone this at all, not even the Captain, do you understand,” you said.
“Of course, your highness,” he said.
“How long have you been guarding the door to my living quarters,” you asked.
“Two, maybe three, why do you ask,” he asked.
“Have you heard me speak to myself,” you said.
“...”
“What’s the matter Sargent,” you asked.
“Nothing, and yes I have heard you speak to yourself, especially at night,” he said.
“Well, I’m about to explain why I have,” you said.
“I am currently suffering from schizophrenia, sadly I can’t cure it, many have tried, none prevail,” you said.
“Wait, schizophrenia, are you serious, oh... My... I should have know this when we began hearing you talk to yourself on the balcony at night, but the others just passed it off as lonelyness, I’m guessing the loss of your sister was what caused you to become schizophrenic,” he said. You nodded.
“So now you see what has been troubling me so,” you asked.
“Of course, my family has had this happen to them in the past, some worse than others, I know how bad schizophrenia can be, it killed my brother and my grandfather, and seriously wounded my sister,” he said.
“Oh... My... So you’ve seen the affects it does to a pony,” you said.
“Oh, of course, it can badly damage a pony’s psyche, maybe even scar them,” he said.
“Well thank you for understanding, I haven’t talked to anypony about this, and it’s beginning to wear me down,” you said.
“Of course, your highness, happy to help,” he said, as you both made it to your living quarters.
“Well thank you again, you are dismissed,” you said, as he saluted and began to head off.
“Time to head to sleep, with those pills,” you said, as you walked into your room.
~~~~~
Present time...
“And that’s all that happened,” you said, leaving out the part about being schizophrenic.
“My, oh my, that is quite the tale, but you said we wouldn’t believe how many walls you broke, from the sound of it, you only broke one,” Mint said.
“Hehe, that was my poor explaining and over exaggerating taking over,” you said.
“So it was actually one wall, or were there more,” Lavender asked.
“Oh no it was only one wall, I’m glad it wasn’t anymore than that,” you said.
“Well I think it’s about time we tell our tale,” Mint said.
“Yes, go ahead,” you said, listening.
You then listen to their story about who they are, you knew they were humans, your sister told you. They said everything from getting sucked into the portal, to crashing, to waking up, to the experience at Sugar Cube Corner, all more amazing then the last, even Mint expressing his dream, minus your sister and him talking about the ‘solar system.’ You never understood what that was, you might have Luna bring you into his dream so you can see it for yourself.
“What the experience, so what do these Silver Bands of Grouth and Lands do anyway,” you asked.
“Well, Mrs. Cake didn’t say how to use them, but she did say we’ll find out eventually,” Mint said.
“Well, once you’ve got them figured out, I would surely love to see them, wouldn’t you sister,” you asked Luna.
“Of course, if they were created by your ancestors then they must be quite powerful, ancient things are usually powerful, right,” Luna asked.
“Yes, well I think we’ve exaggerated our visit, thank you again for the talk,” you said.
“Anytime princess,” Mint said.
“Well, until next time,” you said, walking out the door.
That was a nice talk, to bad you didn’t tell them about us.
~~Yeah, we seemed like nothing to you.~~
“Let’s just head home, we need some rest,” you said out loud, Luna heard this.
Whats the matter princess, you don’t look so good, nor do you feel good, you feeling ok?
“I’m fine, probably just tired,” you said, Luna looked at you and lit her horn.
Hey, look, it’s Luna, welcome to your sister’s mind.
Would you look at that, we’ve got visitors.
What the... What are you doing in my sisters mind.
~~Relax Luna, we didn’t come here on purpose, we were forced into this mind.~~
How long have you three been in here?
A thousand years, maybe more, can’t be sure, its been a long time.
A thousand! Why, by now that would be the time I went... Oh...
~~So now you realize.~~
“Hey could you guys not talk about that in my mind,” you said.
You see, she has been suffering from schizophrenia, she has only told one pony, I think it’s about time she told another.
Yes, sister, you will, once we get back to the castle.
“Of course, let’s get going,” you said, teleporting.
Author's Note
"The mind of a princess can be like the mind of any normal pony... broken, weak, and lost..."
Phew... this story took some time to make.
First, you've got to understand that I'm only one person here, doing all the writing, editing, making sure grammar is ok, all of that, so don't expect much from me when I make these chapters, but at least you are enjoying it, and that's good enough for me.
Second, I'm running out of filler to add to the story, sure I have things planned, but that's until later, so if you have any ideas for filler chapters, go ahead and leave a suggestion down in the comments.
But anyway thanks guys for enjoying this so far, with that I'll see you later. Honist out...
Ps. The reason Luna speaks normaly is cause she learned to talk normal, plus I was to lazy to write 'we' this and 'our' that.
Edit - Extra points to whomever can say why I chose those names for the voices in Celestia's head.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled chapter.
Chapter - 4 '...Why Can't I Stop... Please Help Me... Its Painful...'
Two days later from the meeting with the princess...
“Mint, are you sure this is safe?”
“Probably, I just need to make sure it can hold properly.”
“But is this really necessary?”
“Of course it is, I’m not going to die by rape during estrus.”
You are Mint Cloud, and are currently building a bunker for when estrus rolls in.
“But Mint, what about us,” Lavender said.
“Oh no, I’m not bringing you guys in here when it comes time, I don’t want to get the both of you pregnant, by the time when estrus comes, as Twilight said, it will be only one month since we’ve got here, so I’m not willing to get the both of you pregnant, before we even have a year in this place,” you said, looking at them with a straight face.
“Well... You got us there... Wait I have an idea,” Delphinia said, cheering up.
“Your ideas always fail, they either get me hurt, you hurt, or everybody/pony in a three mile radius hurt, especially the three mile radius one,” you said, getting madder.
“Oh come on, that quintuple megaphone worked didn’t it, sure it broke some windows and stuff, but we repaid it,” she said.
“Yes we paid for your mess, sadly, but no matter, let me hear this plan of yours,” you said.
“Well, seeing as we might just go for other males during this season, so we don’t do that, you tie us up, so we don’t go and buck you, and keep us safe until it’s over, how does it sound,” she said.
“Hmm... Sounds promising... I actually like this plan, wow congratulations, this is a first, one of your plans are actually a good plan,” you said.
“Hey... You don’t have to be so mean about it,” she said.
“You know I’m just messing with you, come on, I’m already finished anyway, lets go inside and show you around, sure it still needs interior decoration, but we can get a job to do that, for now, this is what it looks like,” you said, showing them the bunker.
It was underground, locked by the door, where only you had the key. The inside had a light gray carpet as the flooring, the wall was a constant dark sky blue metal. There was a hallway to the right of the main room, it was 210x42 when you walk into the hall, in the hall was a set of rooms, the rooms had nothing in them, just yet, but had a working bathroom in each one, complete with shower, toilet, sink, and running water, don’t ask how just go with it, there were a total of five rooms, two on either side and one at the end of the hall way, each the same size as each other, 95x105. The size of the main room was 222x258. In the top left of the main room was the kitchen, it was 111x96, also with a sink and running water. The bottom left area was the dining area, it was also 111x96. The rest of the main room was the living room, 222x72. Every measurement was made in inches.
“So, what do you think,” you asked.
“How and when did you have time to make this,” Lavender asked, looking at the massive interior of the place.
“What, Twilight said she had some spare metal and carpet in her basement, so I used it, who knew she had this much, plus it’s been two days since we talked with the princesses, I have a lot of free time here in Equestria, now that we’re not on Earth,” you said.
“Hmm... Well is this all your adding,” Delphinia said.
“Oh no, there’s still a lot to buy, but that’s where we come in,” yon said.
“How exactly are we going to do that, we have no money,” Lavender said.
“We will get jobs to pay for the interior design, good idea, huh,” you asked.
“Hmm, never thought of that, well where will we work,” Lavender asked.
“Well we’ll look for jobs to get paid, we have a month before estrus looms upon us, so we need to also get enough food, and water to last until it’s over, I’ll send a letter to the princess tomorrow asking how long estrus lasts, but for now let’s look for furniture, then we’ll get the essentials,” you said.
“Okay, we’ll take note of how much each couch, table chair, and bed we get costs, then we estamate how much it will take in a month to get, it may take time but we may be able to do it,” Delphinia said.
“Okay, let’s get a move on,” you said.
So you, Delphinia, and Lavender go around look in the stores for the couches, tables, chairs, and beds, plus some other decorations here and there so the place doesn’t look like a grave.
“So what’s the total amount of bits we have to pay if we got the items,” you asked.
“Total will be 3,758 bits, it’s not that much considering how much mirrors cost, I mean seriously, one hundred bits for one 24x15, that’s seems like a ripoff to me,” Lavender said.
“Well, so where are we going to work,” Delphinia asked.
“We could all work at Sugar Cube Corner, we love baking don’t we,” you said.
“Well your right, plus that doesn’t seem like a bad idea, here let’s go talk with Mrs. Cake,” Lavender said.
You all make your way to Sugar Cube Corner, once you open the door, its... Dark.
“Wait... I know what this is...” Lavender said.
“What is it,” you asked.
“It’s a-”
”Surprise!!!!”
You weren’t completely startled, but you definitely jump at the sight of a party.
“Welcome to Ponyville you three, you-know-when-I-saw-you-I-knew-you-were-new-to-Ponyville-so-I-just-had-to-throw-a-party-for-you-and-your-friends-plus-I-like-your-eyes-they-are-amazing-so-what-are-your-names-I-may-have-to-say-that-being-this-hyper-can-cause-me-to-break-wall-by-accident-so-you-going-to-” the very fast speaking pink pony was interrupted by a light blue Pegasus sticking her hoof over the pink ones mouth.
“Geez, Pinkie, give the guy a chance to talk, don’t worry about her she’s just being pinkie,” the Pegasus said.
“Oh no need, I very well understand that she breaks the fourth wall, I already understand what she does violates all laws of physics,” you said.
“What? Fourth wall? The hay is that,” she asked.
“I’ll tell you later, when we’re not at a party,” you said.
“Yeah, well Pinkie we going to party or what,” she asked.
“Yeah, you ready to party Mr...” Pinkie asked.
“Mint Cloud, nice to meet you,” you said.
“Lavender Sky.”
“Delphinia Sky.”
“Well nice to meet you guys, well everypony, you ready to party,” Pinkie asked.
“YEAH!!!”
“Well, LET’S PARTY!!!”
You all begin the party and start to meeting new ponies.
“Why hello there Mint, nice to meet you, my name is Rarity,” a white Unicorn said in a posh like manner. Oh fuck... I need to act posh... Must act posh. Okay I think I’m ready.
“Well, nice to meet you too, it is nice to meet new ponies that can be mature most of the time,” you said grabbing her hoof and planting a kiss on it.
“Oh my... What a gentle colt you are, we I try to be mature, thank you for the compliment, but I must say your eyes are absolutely ravishing,” she said.
“Why thank you,” you said. Seriously what is up with ponies and eyes, its feels like some kind of ‘mating’ thing, or something.
You walk to the food table and grab some cupcakes... Mint and chocolate cupcakes... Pinkie if I didn’t think you were a fourth wall breaker before, you are one now.
“Why howdy Mint,” a southern accented voice said.
“Oh, hello Applejack, how you holding up,” you asked the orange apple farmer.
“Good, have ya seen my sister around, she’s a small filly, yellow in color, about this high,” she asked.
“No... Wait, I think I did, is she friends with a smaller version of Rarity, and an orange chick- I mean Pegasus,” you asked.
“Yes,” she said.
“Then they were in the market earlier, running around,” you said.
“Well, thank ya kindly, I’ll see if ah can catch them, hey ah also never had the chance to say your eyes are amazing” she said, as she went for the door and left.
There it is again... Why do ponies like my eyes so much?
“Okay, you can come out from under the table,” you said, as shuffling noises came from under the table.
“How did ya know we were under there mister,” the small filly asked, she was Applejacks sister, she even had the accent.
“You think I couldn’t hear you giggling, my ears are stronger then you think, I’m surprised Applejack didn’t hear you,” you said.
“Well thank ya mister, say what’s your name,” she asked.
“Mint Cloud, and you three are,” you asked.
“Applebloom.”
“Sweetie Bell.”
“Scootaloo.”
“And were the Cutie Mark Crusaders!!!” They said in unison.
“Well you better be off, you don’t want your sister to worry,” you said.
“Yes Mister Mint, thanks again for not giving us away,” they said before heading off.
“Yeah anytime,” you said, chuckling slightly.
You grab a cupcake and take a bite, it tastes like the one you ate earlier in the week, it’s delicious.
“Umm... Excuse me for interrupting, but nice to meet you,” a quiet voice said behind you.
“Hmm... Oh, nice to meet you too, I can see your the shy type, it’s okay, I understand it’s scary to meet new ponies,” you said in a calm tone.
“Oh really, thank you for understanding,” she said.
“What might be your name,” you asked.
“Fluttershy.”
“Well nice to meet you Fluttershy,” you said, a smile on your face.
“How did you hear me, I barely said it loud enough,” she said.
“Well my ears are stronger than a normal pony’s,” you said.
“Oh... Okay, well it was nice to meet you, you have some nice looking eyes,” she said, before heading off somewhere else.
“*sigh... These ponies are nice, maybe even too nice, I could get used to living here in Equestria, I wonder what’s left to do,” you asked to nopony in particular.
You stand there for a while, before a Diferent shade of mint green Unicorn came over to me.
“Good to meet you, my names Lira Heartstrings, you must be Mint, right,” she asked.
“Yep, that’s me, cupcake?” You asked, holding out a cupcake.
“What flavor?”
“Mint and chocolate.”
“Sure, I love mint, I used to fear mint before, but now I’m over it,” she said.
“How so,” you asked.
“Well, the father of one of my friends died from something in the mint, but that was a long time ago, now, the mint is fine thanks to the ‘Hero of the Mint’, you’ve heard the tale right,” she asked.
“Yeah... Why do you ask,” you asked.
“Well, this town was so grateful for them, the town built a statue of him,” she said.
“R-Really...” you asked, with hesitation.
“Yep, what’s the matter, you don’t look too good,” she asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine... Say, have you looked at the statue thoroughly,” you asked.
“Yep, he looks like a leaf mint green color,” Shit... “and was a Pegasus,” Shit... “and he had mint leaves behind a cloud as a cutie mark,” SHIT!!! “he also had some great looking eyes,” Fuck my life... “why do you ask,” she asked.
“Uhh... No reason... No reason at all,” you said, beginning to panic.
“You sure your feeling okay, you look nervous,” she said taking a better look at you, this was the exact opposite of what you wanted.
“No I’m fine, I swear,” you said.
“Okay... Though you do look familiar,” she said.
“Really... How so...” you said, panicking more.
“Yeah, I don’t know it’s like I just said this, but what was it,” she said.
“Oh well it seems you’ve forgotten, I might just go find Pinkie and find out more about-” you said frantically.
“Wait a minute... You’re... No... You’re him aren’t you,” she said.
“Oh look at the time I got things to do, ponies to see, well see ya,” you said about to sprint off, before you were caught in a golden glow. Shit... Fuck... I don’t want to be raped, oh god save me, she’s got me!
“You’re the ‘Hero of the Mint’, aren’t you,” she asked.
“*sigh, yes... Well if your here to kill me go ahead, I’m not stopping you from doing that, if your not then, go ahead and do your worst, I’m surrendering myself to you,” you said, forcing your head down.
“What... You’re not even going to fight back, you’re not even wanting to escape, you just surrendered, why,” Lira asked.
“Why should I, I’m just a Pegasus, what can I do, if you’re going to kill or torture me, please, don’t torture or kill my friends, they didn’t do anything,” you said. You hadn’t noticed, but a crowd has surrounded you and Lira.
“Well, they do not consern me, but why do you say not to hurt them instead of you,” she said.
“If I’m going to die, I’m going to die knowing that they are safe and out of harms way,” at this point you began crying.
“So, you’d rather see yourself dead instead of your friends, you really are the hero, welcome, Hero, it’s been some time,” she said.
“Yeah, well, so when am I going to die, cause I’d like to brace for the pain,” you asked.
“No hero, you’re not going to die,” she said, releasing you from her magic.
“What...” you asked, looking at her.
“You aren’t going to die, it was a test, you passed with flying colors, welcome Hero, we’ve been waiting for when you would come,” she said, kneeling in front of you. The rest of the ponies in the room did the same, even your friends, they knew now who you were.
“What? What’s going on,” you asked.
“We’re bowing before you, you saved Ponyville from devastation after all,” she said.
“We were told by our families when we were younger that we were saved by somepony, said pony was recognized as the hero, you saved most of our families...”
“Friends...”
“And even the princesses”
“Wait, the princesses, how did I do that,” you asked.
“They eat mint foods as well, so when the announcement came that you had saved us back then, we had to honor you.”
“So now you see, how important you are to this town, Mint?”
“Yes I do, you may all rise, I don’t really need this much praise for helping ponykind,” you said, they all rose.
“We know, but we can’t say our thanks any other way, so Hero, accept this as a token of gratitude.”
“A fez, thanks, I love fezzes,” you said, as you took the fez, you began to smile and cry a little, it reminded you of a memory... A good memory.
“Ah, but it’s not any fez, we enchanted it with magic.”
“So what enchantment did you use,” you asked.
“Well just speed, strength, and endurance... Oh and magical ability.”
“Hmm... Not bad, quick question, how will the fez stay on my head,” you asked.
“The fez will bind to you, it will stay bound to you, nopony else will be able to take it off, except you, but if somepony does take it and puts it on, it’s powers will be useless seeing as your it’s owner.”
You put it on, you suddenly feel a sudden force of power flow through you, its painless at first but then...
“AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!” You screamed, as you collapsed to the floor, the force was strong, but your still conscious.
“MINT!” Everypony screamed as they saw their hero collapse.
”Can’t forget... Can’t forget... Can’t forget... Why can’t I forget... What’s wrong... Why can’t I forget... Help... I can’t forget... Why... Why can’t I forget... I want to forget... Please... Stop the pain... Stop the pain... Stop... Stop... Please... Stop...” You fell unconscious... Crying out the words from you head... And the pain won’t stop... You can’t forget...
*****
You are now Delphinia Sky... And you saw your friend, Mint, grab the fez.
“The fez will bind to you, it will say bound to you, nopony else will be able to take it off, except you, but if somepony does take it and put it on, it’s powers will be useless seeing as your it’s owner.”
Mint puts it on his head, a loud crash is heard.
“AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!” Mint screamed at the top of his lungs, he collapsed to the floor with a thud.
“MINT!!!” Everypony screamed as Mint laid there on the floor.
“~~Can’t forget... Can’t forget... Can’t forget... Why can’t I forget... What’s wrong... Why can’t I forget... Help... I can’t forget... Why... Why can’t I forget... I want to forget... Please... Stop the pain... Stop the pain... Stop... Stop... Please... Stop...~~” Mint cried... Pounding on the floor with his hoof, before he stopped... As he most likely lost consciousness...
“Mint... No were not losing you... No, not today... We love you... Don’t leave us... Please...” you said, while on the floor, crying...
*****
Two days earlier...
You are Princess Celestia, and you are in your mind talking to Luna, and the voices in your head.
”So... Tia... Tell me more about your schizophrenia.”
“Well it’s complicated.”
”How so?”
”Here let me explain... Schizophrenia is a condition that leaves a pony’s psyche broken, however for a normal pony you can fix it, but with schizophrenic ponies, theirs cannot be fixed, so it leaves them with a broken mind... A lost mind... A weak mind... So now you see the severity it can leave on a pony’s mind.”
”Wow... I never would have thought that you of all ponies, had a broken psyche... Say can I ask, what might be your names?”
”Ulysses.”
”Seth.”
”Benjamin.”
”What interesting names, anyway I must go and lower the moon, I will speak with you later, oh and Tia?”
“Yes dear sister?”
”We need to speak with Twilight and her friends about this, it’s for the best.”
“Yes I guess your right.”
”Well I will see you tomorrow, for now get some rest, we’ll send the letter in a few day after you get some rest.”
“Very well see you tomorrow sister.”
”Indeed sister.”
~~~~~
One and a half days later...
“Well, your highness, I’ve come with a deal that’ll help ponies around Equestria.”
“And what might this be?”
“Well you know that most towns are farm towns instead of buisness towns.”
“Yes, what might you be suggesting.”
“Well most of these towns don’t have direct roads to each other, which makes travel hard for each town. So I was suggesting we make more roads for the ponies who don’t have ways of making to each town.”
“Well this is a good idea, I’ll put it through some consideration, but for now thank you for your time Mr. Jack.”
“Thank you, have a nice day your highness.”
You are in day court and have finally had a suggestion that is worth while.
“Well that went better than expected, Mr. Colty Jack has always wanted what’s best for every pony, I think today I’ll send a message to Twilight to have a special meeting tomorrow,” you said.
You eventually get a letter.
“Oh a letter, it seems pretty early for a letter, wonder what this is about,” you said.
You then read the letter out loud.
“Dear Princess Celestia,
We have a problem, Mint has passed out cold and is not waking up, before he passed out he was crying this, ‘Can’t forget... Can’t forget... Can’t forget... Why can’t I forget... What’s wrong... Why can’t I forget... Help... I can’t forget... Why... Why can’t I forget... I want to forget... Please... Stop the pain... Stop the pain... Stop... Stop... Please... Stop...’ we don’t know what’s wrong, he’s still unconscious, but he’s on his way to the hospital, but until we meet again,
Your fateful student, Twilight Sparkle,” you finish reading the letter, but by the end your shocked, ready to fall out of your throne.
“Guards, cancel day court for today, I have some important matters to take care of,” you said, the guards saluted and headed off.
“Oh let’s hope he’s ok...” you said.
~~Let’s teleport to the hospital quick, we don’t want to be late.~~
“Yes let’s, but first let’s head off to get Luna,” you said.
Alright, but we better hurry up, I don’t want him to die without us being there, we’ll seem like jerks.
“Well lets go then,” you said, as you teleported out of the throne room, and to Luna’s living quarters door.
“Your highness,” the guards greeted and saluted.
“At ease,” you said, as you knocked on the door.
“Luna! Hey Luna you in here,” you called.
You hear shuffling coming from inside, then the door opens.
“Yes sister, what’s the matter, why are you here,” Luna asked, her mane slightly disheveled, and her coat looking like it needed a good brushing.
“Well, Twilight just sent me a letter saying that Mint has been knocked unconscious, we need to head to the Ponyville Hospital right away,” you said.
“Oh... Well we better get going then here let me get ready, I’ll be out in a few seconds,” Luna said, worried expression on her face.
She closed her door, and not ten seconds later she came out as her normal self.
“Well lets go,” she said.
“Okay, here we go,” you said, as you both teleport to the entrance of the Hospital.
“Come on, we don’t have time to lose,” you said.
*****
You are Lavender Sky... And are currently crying your eyes out with your sister doing the same thing while hugging you. You both are inside Mint’s hospital room, sitting on some chairs that were in the room.
“Oh please don’t die... We need you Mint... Don’t leave us...” you whispered, still sobbing.
“Come on... We need you... We’re not leaving you, so don’t leave us... Please don’t leave us...” Delphinia whispered, also sobbing.
You two are the only ones who stayed to watch them the rest had either things to do or had to leave and grieve some where else, Pinkie however was outside the room, with her signature Pinkamina style, though her cries were stopped when somepony finally decided to put a sound barrier spell around her, she was still crying, but no one could hear it. There was a knock at the door.
“C-come in,” you said, with the sound of crying still in your voice.
”WE CAME AS SOON AS WE HEARD,” Celestia shouted, as she barged into the door, which was idiotic seeing as she knocked.
*****
A minute earlier...
“It’s this way right.”
“Yes, keep going down and it should be the third one on the left.”
“Thank you Nurse.”
You are now Celestia, and your headed toward Mint’s room.
“I say we knock,” you said, walking up to the door.
Just go inside I don’t think they will care.
~~I don’t care just do something.~~
You knock.
“C-come in,” a voice called.
k, were taking to long, out of my way.
As soon as he said that, you lost control and Benjamin took over.
”WE CAME AS SOON AS WE HEARD,” you/Benjamin shouted.
“Sister you could have waited for me... Ugh... I need to get more exercise,” Luna called, walking into the room, sweating slightly.
”Sorry... Forgot to wait on you,” you/he said.
“Benjamin... Give my sister control, I know how impatient you can be, but that doesn’t give you the right to take over her body,” Luna said, giving you a deadpan look.
”Ugh... Fine... you/he said. And you finally took over.
“Thanks...” you said.
“It was nothing,” Luna said.
You and Luna look into the room and see the two flower sisters in some chairs, looking at them, tears in their eyes and face.
“Oh... How long have you two been sitting there,” you asked.
“Ever since we got here, we stayed to watch him... We haven’t left this spot since we got here waiting for him to wake up... But I don’t think you saw Pinkie,” Lavender said, a choke in her voice as she said that, she was obviously crying for the duration of their stay, along with her sister that was sitting next to her, crying more than Lavender.
“Wait, Pinkie’s here, but I didn’t hear her cry, she would usually cry about this,” Luna said.
“Well... She right outside,” Lavender said, pointing a hoof outside the door. And there was Pinkie sobbing her eyes out, but not a sound was being made, you some how missed her when you made it to the door.
“How did we miss that,” you asked, Luna shrugged.
“So... Is he...” you asked.
“No... He’s right there,” Lavender said, pointing a hoof toward the sleeping Mint. He looked different... You couldn’t quite put a hoof on it... Is it his hair... No, his hair is the same, black with leaf green highlights at the tips... His coat is the same, still has his chest fluff... Wait... How did I not notice this.
“Wait... Has he gotten taller,” you said. Luna facehoofed, you could also feel your voices facehoof as well.
“What... Was it something I said,” you asked.
“Yes it was dear sister, it’s quite obvious that he has a new hat on his head, I don’t know the name of the hat, but it’s a hat none the less,” Luna said, slightly discouraged.
You couldn’t feel any more stupid than right now.
Congragulations, aren’t you proud of yourself, bravo, give this mare an award!
“Oh...” you said.
“So has he gotten any better,” Luna asked.
“N-no, he’s stayed like this for a couple of hours,” Lavender said, Delphinia hasn’t said a thing since you’ve got here, wonder what she has on her mind.
“Here, lets see what’s going on in his head, we may be able to fix this before his psyche gets damaged, we will look in his head and find oh what happened, let’s go,” Luna said.
“Wait... All of us, but is that safe...” Delphinia asked, she finally began speaking, though there was an obvious choke on her voice.
“Not necessarily, but we have to be careful not to break anything, it will most likely mess up his mind, so proceed with caution,” Luna said.
“Alright then, lets go,” Lavender said.
“Okay then, you might want to close your eyes,” Luna said.
Everypony closed their eyes, and a loud flash happened.
*****
You are Lavender, and you have just been teleported into Mint’s mind.
“Wow, it looks very dark in here,” you said.
“Yes, this is what it looks like when a mind is full of things, however, if it were bright, then it would be empty,” Luna said.
“Wait... What do you mean ‘full’,” Delphinia asked.
“It means if he wants to clear his mind, he’s going to have a hard time doing it, let’s take for instance a bowl of air, if you take out the air in the bowl, more air will be replaced, the same thing is for here, if he clears his mind, something else, maybe memories, will fill that place and take over the extra space,” Luna said.
“Well it sure seems full, where are his memories,” Celestia asked.
“His memories are over here... Wait a minute...” Luna said.
“What... What’s the matter,” you asked.
“It seems his memory bank is on full drive, this memory counter should be going down, but it’s not, however, it’s rising slowly and stoping every few seconds, but not going down,” Luna said, worried look on her face.
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing,” Delphinia asked.
“Neither, hey what was on the letter that Twilight sent you,” Luna asked, looking at Celestia.
“Here, I still have the letter,” Celestia said, giving the letter to Luna.
“WHAT! Why didn’t you tell me he said this,” Luna screamed.
“What, what’s the matter,” you asked.
“He kept saying ‘can’t forget’, right,” Luna asked right.
“Yes, he kept saying ‘stop the pain’, or something like that,” Delphinia said.
“Oh no... This is bad,” Luna said, look of horror on her face.
“What’s the matter,” you asked.
“He’s remembering all of his past memories, all the bad ones and the good ones, and he can’t forget them, it’s like a song that’s stuck in your head and you can’t get it out,” Luna said, beginning to cry.
“He can’t forget, sadly, the memories were to much for him, and he passed out, but he’s still in here, within his mind, but he’s somewhere in here I can sense him,” Celestia said, a look of dispare on her face.
“Wait, if he’s still in here than we have to get him out, if not he’s going to be stuck in here forever, right,” you asked, Luna nodded.
“I think I may know where to look first, if this is his mind, there is only one place to look,” Luna said, wiping some tears from her eyes.
“Where is it,” Delphinia asked.
“In his dreamscape,” Luna said, everypony gasped.
“Why his dreamscape,” you asked.
“Cause if he’s ever stressed out he would usually go there, whenever he slept, its a very calm place, even I have found it quite relaxing,” Luna said.
“So why are we waiting for, let’s go find him,” you said.
“Okay, through here is his dreamscape,” Luna said, opening a portal of some kind.
“Why is his dream a hallway,” Delphinia asked,
“Oh no, it’s not just a hallway, it leads to a room where he relaxes, he maneged to make this hallway for me so I don’t just pop in out of nowhere and surprise him,” Luna said, walking down the hallway to a door, and knocking on it.
“Hmm... Oh LUNA COME IN,” a voice shouted from the other side of the door... It was Mint’s.
“Mint, you here,” Luna asked.
“Yes I am... Wait OMG... GUYS I MISSED YOU SO MUCH,” Mint screamed, as he ran over to you and Delphinia.
“MINT, so did we, I thought we lost you when we saw you collapse onto the floor,” you said, beginning to cry.
“Yeah... We didn’t know if you were going to make it,” Delphinis said, crying as well. You all began hugging and crying.
“I’m so glad you guys are safe, here take a seat, I’ll get some couches, and some tea and cupcakes,” Mint said, getting up.
“But how, you barely have room for it,” Celestia asked.
“It’s my dreamscape after all, I can do it like this,” he said, as suddenly the wall went further back, and three couches appeared, and he moved a different couch closer, it was like Luna’s color palet.
“Wow... You’ve only been here four times, and you can already control your dreamscape, impressive, it takes ponies a long time to control theirs, sometimes never,” Luna said, going to her couch that was next to what she thought was Celestia’s.
“So I’ve got to ask sister, is this the thing you told me about when you first met Mint,” Celestia said, pointing at the solar system.
“Wait, Mint why did you put the solar system in your dream realm,” Delphinia asked, he shrugged.
“It reminds me of our past universe,” he said.
“But do they know about that,” you asked.
“Oh yeah, I told Luna not to tell anypony, but she said if she could tell her sister, and I agreed,” he said.
“Yes, there are things nopony knows about me, so this is the ‘solar system’ Luna told me about, it quite fascinating,” Celestia said, taking a closer look.
“Wait till you see this...” Mint said, until the center piece began to glow.
“What... Are these moons,” Celestia asked, in awe at the amount of moons each planet has.
“The green and blue planet is our old planet, but before we continue our discussion on this, let’s have a seat,” he said, motioning us to the seats.
“Actually Mint, I have something to say first before we continue,” Celestia said.
“Yes, Celestia what might that be,” he said, popping a table with a tea set and cupcakes in the center of them.
“We need to get you out of here before you lose yourself in your mind,” she said.
“What do you mean ‘before I lose myself in my mind’,” he said, worried.
“If we don’t get you out now, your dreamscape will get lost in your mind, into the sea of your memories, but if we mange to get you out then your dreamscape will be fine,” Luna said.
“Well what are we sitting down for let’s get a move on,” Mint said, before getting up.
“Wait, your not even going to ask why it’s going to happen,” Luna asked.
“Luna, I’ve seen some things, things that this world will never understand, this isn’t even one of the crasiest things I’ve seen, I’m the only one who can look at Pinkie and understand that she breaks all know laws of Physics, but everypony else just rubs it off as ‘Pinkie being Pinkie’, I’ve even studied the multi-verse for Celestia’s sake, heck I know that even you don’t know what the fourth wall is, if none of this stuff is crazier than what you’ve seen, then there’s no need to ask questions, now let’s go,” Mint said heading out the door, leaving the room in a quiet shock.
“If your going to just sit there you can forget about leaving this place,” Mint called from outside the door.
“Hey who might you be.”
“What, why you asking me.”
You hear a voice talk to Mint outside the door, you get up, along with Delphinia and the princesses.
“Hey Mint, who you talking to,” you asked.
“Its this memory here, let me ask you, what’s your name,” Mint said.
“Well I’m the Doctor,” the memory said.
“Doctor who,” Delphinia asked.
You and Mint snorted at that joke, funny how his memories are... Wait a minute.
“We need to go, sorry memory, but we have to run,” you said grabbing everypony, “you guys realize that his memories are already here, that was one of them, it was a good memory at that, but there will be more coming, so Luna, how do we get out of here?”
“Through here,” Luna said, pointing at the portal she made.
“Okay everypony through, let’s bring our friend home,” you said, and everypony went through.
*****
You are Mint, and are still unconscious, you then begin to get more conscious every second.
“Hey... I think he’s waking up...” you heard a voice, but it was a very muffled voice.
“Well... Give him some air...” you heard another voice, sounded less muffled.
“So... What did you do to get him back... when we came in we saw you guys asleep.” The voices seem to be coming clearer.
“Hey... If your going to talk about me you at least have to wait until I wake up...” you said, with a grin, everypony gasped.
“MINT,” everypony screamed.
“Yep, its going to take a lot more than memories to kill me,” you said, as they all went to hug you.
“We were so worried, when you passed out back there, we all thought you had died,” Lavender said, everypony began crying.
“Well, I’ve got to say, it was quite the experience, but enough of that, the good thing is that I’m alive,” you said.
“So how did you make it out, cause I’ve got to say if it wasn’t for the princesses being here you would have died, why do you have to experience all of the cool things,” the light blue Pegasus from the party said.
“Well first of all, what’s your name, you never told me it,” you asked.
“Oh right, its Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in Equestria,” she said striking a pose in the air.
“Well then, if that’s all the names, I’ll begin explaining,” you said, as you begin explaining what happened, from them meeting you in your dreamscape, leaving out the part with them talking about the solar system, to getting out, you were then informed that before that my mind was full, of memories that is.
So is that why I can’t forget any of these memories, there getting quiet painful- agh yep that’s very painful.
“Hey Mint you alright, you don’t look to good,” Pinkie said.
“Oh yeah just- agh -peachy, give me a- ack -minute, my head- ahh -hurts,” you said, stoping ever so often to flinch at the pain.
“You sure, you seem to be crying,” Twilight said.
“I am?” And sure enough you were crying, you couldn’t stop crying... Why couldn’t you stop crying.
“Why, why can’t I stop... What’s going on... Why can’t I stop... Why is this painful... Make it stop... Please... Make it stop... I can’t stop it... It hurts... Why...” you cried, everypony in the room looked in shock at you.
*****
“Why, why can’t I stop... What’s going on... Why can’t I stop... Why is this painful... Make it stop... Please... Make it stop... I can’t stop it... It hurts... Why...”
You are Delphinia Sky and you saw as your best friend, Mint, kept crying, he couldn’t stop, you were scared.
“Why is this painful... Help... Make it stop...” Mint once again was hitting his hoof at something, but this time it was the wall.
“Make it stop... Make... It stop... Make... It... Stop...” he slowly stopped as he laid there on the bed tears still coming from his eyes, but he was silent, he was unconscious.
“What... Happened,” Fluttershy asked, still crying.
“He is unwillingly remembering bad memories, as well as sad and depressing memories, he can’t help it, its forcing him to feel sad,” Luna said.
“So how do we stop it,” Dash asked.
“We cannot...” Luna said, trailing off.
“WHAT,” almost everypony shouted.
“H-how can that be, surly there’s a way,” Rarity said.
“No, sadly he will only remember them, but there is a way to lessen the pain, to make it comfortable to live,” Luna said, walking up to Mint.
“So how do we lessen it,” you said.
“We do nothing, I do everything,” Luna said, she’s obviously done this before.
“Okay, do your stuff,” Lavender said.
You watch Luna walk up and glow her horn at Mint, it’s so obvious now that she has done this before, she continues this for a few minutes, until eventually she stops.
“So how’d it go,” you asked.
“Better than expected, sadly he has more bad and sad memories, than good and happy memories, but I still managed, he should be up and running by tomorrow, but for now he should get some rest, actually, when I was going through his mind, his stats had increased since the last time I checked, or most of them at least, why is that,” Luna asked.
“Well, that is because of the fez on his head,” Lavender said.
“So that is what the hat is called, well my guess is that it was enchanted, but why did he want a fez,” Luna asked.
“Well in his discription of fezzes, ‘fezzes are cool’, funny how that’s his words exactly,” you said.
“Yes, but now we must rest, for tomorrow we must see our friend, sure he will be a little broken, but understand I can only lessen the pain, not take it a way,” Luna said, eveypony nodded.
“Well see you guys tomorrow then, come on Twilight, let’s head back to the- oh wait, Pinkie, I almost forgot, I have to ask you something,” you said.
“Your hired,” Pinkie screamed with joy.
“Okay then, but shouldn’t we go over this with the cakes first,” you asked.
“Oh of course, then see you tomarrow with Mint so you guys can get hired,” she said, jumping off to who knows where, the rest of the room except for Lavender, was shocked.
“You didn’t even ask the question, and you don’t even care,” Twilight asked, her expression is priceless.
“Why should she, we should know by now she breaks all known laws of physics, so why even bother questioning it,” Lavender said.
“Well it’s not every day ya see stuff like that,” Applejack said, funny how she’s been silent until now.
“Well Pinkie isn’t exactly your everyday pony, now is she,” you asked.
“Well... You’re not wrong there, but anyway, lets head home, it’s getting dark,” Twilight said, heading for the door.
“Yeah let’s,” Lavender said.
“Well see you guys tomorrow,” you said, waving a hoof at them.
You, your sister, and Twilight all head back to the library, you arrange the couches and head to sleep.
“Night Twi,” you and Lavender said.
“Night girls,” Twilight replied.
Then you both close your eyes while hugging each other for comfort, even though there’s a missing hole in this.

The (Somewhat) Great Adventures of a Group of ("Human") Friends
Chapter - 6 'Work... Pain... And More Pain...'
"Here's your pay guys you've earned it!"
You are Mint, and you and your friends just got the last payment, the same day that weird poison joke incident happened, so you can have enough bits to buy everything you needed at a cheep price, when you went back to every store they said they would lower the prices, just for you, now instead of everything being 3,758 bits, it was now 2,354 bits, which was a substantial amount of bits, considering our position.
"Thanks Pinkie, hope you have a nice rest of the day," you said, as Lavender and Delphinia also said their goodbyes.
"Yeah, you too," Pinkie said, before heading back into the kitchen and knocking over some pots and pans.
You all head back to the library to talk with Twilight.
"Hey Twilight, were back," you called into the Library.
"Oh hey guys, so how was work, get any big orders," Twilight asked.
"It was good, and actually we did have a big order, it was two dozen muffins, two chocolate cherry cakes, five dozen vanilla cupcakes, and one vanilla cherry cake, we had to work faster in order to fill out the order," Delphinia said.
"Woah, was it for a party or something," Twilight asked, you nodded.
"It was, we didn't get filled in on who's party it was for but as long as the costumer is happy we're happy, right guys," Lavender asked.
"Yeah," you and Delphinia said simultaneously.
"Well, so what do you want to do," Twilight asked.
"I'm not really sure, it's still pretty early to be going to sleep, what do you want to do Twilight," you asked.
"Actually I wanted to see if we could figure out what causes those bands of yours to activate, and I want to test Mint's increased stats, what do you think," She said, but before you all could nod and say 'yeah', a letter comes in and pops into existence in front of you.
"Well that put a stick in our plans, so what's it say Mint," Delphinia said, looking at Mint holding the letter in his wings.
You look it over but then you realize this will blow your covers. You hand (hoof?) it over to Lavender, she reads her eyes widen, she passed it to Delphinia, her eyes also widened.
It read. Dear my grateful friend, Mint,
You may now know that after Twilight learns a lesson, she writes a letter to me, since this morning I was wondering about said lesson, because Luna told me this morning about the poison joke, I was hesitant at first, but when she told me it was apart of a lesson, I calmed down, just now I received Twilight’s letter about the lesson, and I have to say, good work for not interfering, that lesson was definitely an important one, tomorrow Luna and I will be stopping by to talk to you, Twilight, her friends, and your friends, Lavender and Delphinia about something important, but until tomorrow,
Your grateful friend, Princess Celestia.
"So what does it say," Twilight asked, this snapped you and your friends back to reality.
"Hmm... it just says that tomorrow the Princesses are going to stop by, and they want to talk to all of us, including your friends, they said it was extremely important," Lavender said.
"Wait they're coming tomorrow, then we need to get prepared," Twilight said, getting up and scrambling around.
"Well come on let's start by cleaning the library," you said, your friends nodded, spike came down the stairs after a nap.
"Woah... what did I miss," he asked, looking at Twilight scrambling around.
"Letter, princess, clean library," you said.
"Okay I'll start by dusting the books," he said, grabbing the feather duster.
You all start cleaning the library, it goes smoothly you finish by night time.
"Phew, that went faster than expected," you said, looking at the spotless room.
"Yep well time to sleep, I'm exhausted," Lavender said, plopping herself on the couches.
"Yeah good night Twi," Delphinia said.
"Yeah good night guys, you sleep well," Twilight said, before heading up to sleep. You too went to sleep.
~~~~~
"Ah... this is the life," you said sitting down on your reclining chair, on the moon.
"Yep, after Luna did this, we've been as relaxed as ever," Lavender said.
"Say where's Delphinia," you asked.
"Can't say for sure," she said, but as she said that, you hear singing, you remember this song from the time you visited Delphinia's dream, she was singing that song again.
"Well, we can't stop her from singing, can we," you said.
"Nope, but we could join her..." Lavender said.
"Maybe next time, when we do come back here," you said.
The dream goes smoothly for awhile nopony disturbs you three, and you relax, though if you remember, tomorrow you have to buy the things, but that can wait until after you meet Celestia. This peacefulness lasts for a while until...
"Hey Mint, I just remembered something," Delphinia said.
"Hm, what is it," you asked.
"Well I need to give you this," she said, pulling out a letter from her wing.
"A letter? Who's it from," you asked.
"From Luna her self, she said to give it to you," she said, going over to you and giving you the letter.
"Dear Mint,
You may know that estrus is a few weeks away, so I have prepared something for you, information. In this letter you will find another piece of parchment, and in that is how long the estrus will last and what to do and what not to do, I may assist in helping you seeing as us princesses don't go crazy when we're in heat, but I can't guarantee that I will be there every step of the way, but I will aid you however I can, you better hurry and prepare, time is running out, but until next time,
Your friend, Princess Luna."
"So is that all," you asked.
"Yep, that's it, that's all she gave me, so what ,is it almost time to wake up," Lavender said.
"Yep, just about..." you then wake up
~~~~~
"...now..." you said, waking up.
Yawning commences.
"So, *yawn, what are we doing, *yawn, today," Lavender asked, yawning.
"Well we, *yawn, wait for the princesses to, *yawn, arrive, but we also have to go to work, Celestia, *yawn, never said when she would arrive, *yawn, so let's go to work, hopefully they have, *yawn, coffee, cause I need a pick-me-up, let's get, *yawn, going," you said, also yawning.
"Yeah, *yawn, I second that," Delphinia said, yawning as well.
You all head to your job at Sugar Cube Corner.
"Morning Mint, Lavender, and Delphinia, you guys look tired," Pinkie said, looking at the three of you.
"No, we just, *yawn, need some coffee, then we'll be, *yawn, fine," you said.
"Actually, we have coffee, here I already have your mugs filled with coffee, just how each of you like it," she said, motioning to come to the kitchen, the cakes were there, they looked ready to start the day.
"Here you go... one for you... one for you... and one for you, there enjoy your coffee," she said, before hopping off to who knows where.
"Well, *yawn, cheers," Lavender said, before holding her mug up, we all clash our mugs and take a sip of the coffee, it's not that hot, and it wasn't too sweet but it had a bit of minty flavor to it, wow who knew a pony could make a descent cup or mug of coffee.
"Who-wee, yep that's more like it, definitely needed that pep-in-my-step," you said, finishing your coffee, Lavender and Delphinia looked like they enjoyed theirs as well.
"Oh my... it really does do that extra boost, man is this what coffee normaly does," Delphinia said.
"Not really... this is different, it gives you the boost immediately, that is strange, but slightly amazing, oh well let's get to work," Lavender said.
~~~~~
"Yeah, so how's life been doing for ya, Lyra," you asked, you were the cashier.
"Oh it's been good, say I've got something that nopony ever believes me about," Lyra said.
"What is it," you asked.
"Do you know what a human is..." She whispered. Did she just say... human... oh boy gotta think fast or my cover will go down the drain faster than the water I'm sweating out.
"Uh... um..." you began hesitating.
"Ok your just like the rest... I guess you don't," Lyra said, taking her order. Oh god think fast!
"Wait... I think I may know what your talking about," You said, Lyra perked up.
"You do," She said.
"Yes, but I can't tell you anything I know right now, come talk to me tomorrow, then I'll tell you everything I know," you said, and Lyra went to hug you, and you got forcefully hugged. Mmm... she has a mint scent... I wouldn't mind tasting her... wait... mind, get yourself out of the gutter, and would you stop trying to make me horny over mint, it's very uncomfortable, especially seeing as we barely know each other.
"Oh sorry didn't mean to do that... I'll be on my way," Lyra said, blushing.
"It's ok, I'll see you tomorrow," you said, waving her off.
Time passes, and the door rings as it opens, knocking you out of your trance, you were looking at the counter quite intensely.
"Hi welcome to Sugar Cube Corner, how may I- oh... Princess, if I'd known you would have come I would have prepared a cake," you said, looking at the large royal pony walking up to the counter, all the ponies bow, except you of course, cause you are friends.
"Hey, Lavender, Delphinia, look who just arrived," you called into the kitchen.
"Who- oh Princess, we would have prepared a cake if we knew you would have come during this time," Lavender said.
"Well there's no need for that, I just came here to tell you we're just about ready to start the meeting," Celestia said.
"Oh right, its almost time for our lunch break, so we'll be there soon," Delphinia said.
"And it should be right about- *Ding -now" you said as the lunch bell went off.
"Oh well then lets go, that was excellent timing Mint, when did you learn to do that," Celestia asked, you and your friends following the Monarch.
"Oh, I don't actually know how, lets just head to the library," you said.
"Why walk when you can teleport," she said.
"Wait, what" you asked, before Celestia teleported you all to the library.
"Ugh... never do that... again... unless you warn us," you said, you fell to the floor grabbing your stomach, it looked like Lavender and Delphinia both had the same reaction.
"Yep... that was... very painful..." the sisters said in unison.
You look up to see the mane six, spike, and Luna looking at the three of you, worried looks on their faces.
"Oh... funny... you look like you've seen somepony die or something... I almost did once or twice, maybe even three times... I'm- ack! -not really sure, but... at least I'm not dead yet," you said, managing a chuckle and a smirk.
"Why are you laughing at a time like this, you fell to the floor after experiencing a teleportation spell for the first time, how can you be cheerful," Twilight asked.
"Twilight, first rule to happiness: One - even if your on the brink of death... you have to stay positive, and look on the bright side of things... don't lose your hope because your leg was chopped off by a dragon, or your burning to death in a desert, eventually hope will bring you to safety. Second rule to happiness: Two - laugh away the pain... until you can't feel it anymore," you said, everypony in the room looked at you in even more worry, except Pinkie.
"Wait so all this time your saying that instead of just thinking about the worst things possible, I should think about the best things possible," Twilight said.
"Yep," you said trying to get up, you manage and you go help your friends.
"So... what are you going to tell us," Lavender asked, still having the side affects.
"Well, this is about my well being, and how I've lived for past one thousand years or so," Celestia said, sitting down.
"Wait, but Princess, I thought you've always lived a good life," Twilight said.
"Not always, my fateful student, do any of you know what schizophrenia is..." Celestia said, trailing off, half the mane six didn't know anything, the others knew exactly what that was, you and your friends knew what that was.
"Well... for the past thousand years or so... I had schizophrenia, the look on some of your faces tells me that most of you don't know what that is, it's a disease that breaks a pony's psyche, but once it's broken... it can't be fixed..." she said, everypony was shocked.
"How... but I thought you were okay all the time," Twilight said.
"Not all the time... think back to when I sent my sister away," Celestia said.
"So with the sending away of your sister... it broke your psyche, and caused you to to get schizophrenia," you said, Celestia nodded.
"My word... that's a lot to take in at once..." Rairity said.
Applejack hadn't said anything... nor Pinkie, she was her deflated self... not even Fluttershy said a word, she was just sitting there crying silently... Rainbow just sat there... face expressionless... Twilight was her usual panicky self... but the ones who took it harder... were you and your friends... you once knew a friend that had schizophrenia... so did they... they died due to insanity... you didn't want that to happen again... but it seems schizophrenia... has it's ways...
"We'll be right back," you said looking at the floor, a shadow covering your eyes, "Lavender... Delphinia... lets go..." and they followed, their faces the same.
"Wait but where are you-"
"I said we'll be right back," you shouted back a reply to Twilight's question.
"But you didn't even-"
"I said... WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK," you shouted even louder, it shook the library, it even caused air to come out.
"RIGHT NOW I DON'T WANT TO BE PLAGUED BY QUESTIONS, SO LEAVE US IN PEACE FOR A WHILE," you said, stomping the ground with a hoof, what you didn't expect to happen next was plants to come out of the ground and create a wall, but before you wanted to question it you stormed off with your friends, your anger taking over.
*****
You are Celestia, and you just told Twilight and her friends about your schizophrenia.
"We'll be right back," Mint said... his face was covered by a shadow, "Lavender... Delphinia... lets go," and they followed.
"Wait but where are you-"
"I said we'll be back" he shouted at Twilight's question.
Oh no... this is going to be bad...
"But you didn't even-"
"I said... WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK," Mint shouted... his voice entering Royal Canterlot Voice.
Woah... I never thought I'd see the day a normal could enter that voice!
Wow, any more anger and his voice will reach megaphone plus the voice... and that's where it gets deadly!
Never thought we'd have to say this, but you both are right!
"RIGHT NOW I DON'T WANT TO BE PLAGUED BY QUESTIONS, SO LEAVE US IN PEACE FOR A WHILE," Mint shouted, stomping the ground with a hoof, the silver band on his leg began to glow, what happened next, surprised even Pinkie. Plants came out of the ground and formed a wall... they were mint plants.
Mother of us... what just happened... and why is there a wall of mint in between us and Mint?!?
"Oh my..." Surprisingly it was Fluttershy who spoke first, as soon as it came, it left.
"Tia... did he just..." Luna tried to ask, but you beat her to it.
"Go into Royal Canterlot Voice... yes... yes he did," some how everypony in your mind said the same thing.
"I thought only the Princesses could actually manage to get that loud..." Twilight said, trailing off.
"Well... you it saw here... he went in to the voice, a voice that we haven't done for a while," the four of you said.
"Hey Princess, if you don't mind me asking, what's up with your voice, it sounds like there's four of you talking at once," Rainbow asked.
"What do you... oh wait... there is this better," you said, only using your voice this time.
"What was that," everypony asked, except Luna, she knew what it was.
"Oh right, since I've gotten schizophrenia, I've had these voices my head that have the other personalities of me, but seeing as they're are still apart of me... they are... sensible," you said.
HEY!
"So what are their names," Fluttershy asked.
"Why don't you ask them yourselves," you said, nodding to Luna.
~~~~~
"Welcome to my subconscious" you said.
"Wait, Princess, why are we here, I thought you said you wanted us to talk to the voices," Twilight asked.
"She did," came some voices from the distance.
"What in tarnation was that," Applejack asked, looking around.
"Who the hay are you, show yourselves," Rainbow said, getting into fighting stance.
"Okay," they said, and they did, they looked like you.
"Ah, Benjamin, Ulysses, Seth, I hope you guys don't mind that we brought a few friends," Luna said.
"Not at all, the names Benjamin."
"Welcome, my name is Ulysses, nice to meet you."
"We hope you enjoy your stay here, it's not much but we manage, my name's Seth, I hope we didn't scare your friend over there, she looks a bit under the weather."
You look over at where he was pointing, it was Fluttershy cowering behind Rarity.
"Its okay darling, there're not going to hurt you, I mean they're even worried about you," Rarity said.
"Ok... if you say so," Fluttershy said in her soft voice.
"So what brings you all here, if we had known we would be getting visitors, then we would have made this place more acceptable."
"Well I just brought them so they could see that I wasn't lying to them about you guys."
"Oh... right, well we're as real as any other pony."
Twilight looked like she was about to ask a question but before she could Pinkie beat her to it.
"So, what your saying is I made four friends for the price of one," Pinkie was her old self again.
"Yes, you did."
"YAY!!!"
Somehow she managed to fire fireworks and confetti in your subconscious.
"Well we better head back, we have a Mint to catch up to."
"Right!"
"Then lets go."
~~~~~
"Lets go find Mint, before we lose him," you said.
You all head for the door and the wall that was there is gone and any evidence that it was there is also gone, only the open door is left.
You all head running out the door, the ponies around are wonder why you are here in Ponyville.
"Ugh were never going to find him if search like this," you said.
"Lets split up, two ponies per group, come on Luna you and me," the ponies nodded and went into groups.
"Now lets go," you said and they all head off.
You keep running you look around and you still don't see anypony that looks like Mint, or his friends.
You then hear a flare spell go off, only Twilight should know it out of her friends. You look up, it's in the location of Town Hall.
"Lets go, Twilight found them," you said, and Luna nodded.
You head off running at full sprint, you just realized, why have you not been flying it would have been faster.
"I just realized why haven't we been flying I would be faster." You and Luna facehoof.
You are now flying toward your specified location, there you see Twilight running after Mint, Applejack and Rainbow trying to get Lavender who was flying circles around them, and Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy going after Delphinia who seems to have figured out how to use the silver band to get away, cause every time they are close to getting her she would use the band to get away.
"Oh mother of me, this quite entertaining, should we interfere," you asked, sitting down.
"Nah, I think they've got it," Luna said, sitting next to you.
"Get back here Mint, we have to talk," Twilight shouted.
"No, I don't want to talk," Mint said.
*****
"Get back here Mint, we have to talk," Twilight shouted behind you, you jumped over a barrel.
"No, I don't want to talk," you said.
You are Mint and you and your friends are being chased by Twilight and her friends.
You get an idea, you look for Lavender and Delphinia, the path they're taking is the same every time, like yours. Hold on if Luna mixed our minds together then...
Mint is that you?
Lavender? Mint? We can't talk to each other with our minds? Heck yeah!
Sweet! Hey guys I have a plan.
What is it.
If you look carefully we are following the same path over and over, when we get close together we run toward each other, after that when they get close to getting us we fly out of the way, and they crash, we tie them up with the vines from our bands and make our quick escape. How does it sound?
It'll have to do, okay lets do this.
You continue your path until you are close enough to them, just like the plan you all head for each other and the ones chasing you are following.
You all make it to each other, the mane six get close to getting you, but before they could get close you all fly off and slam both your hoofs together to cause multiple vines to come out of the ground and tie up the six friends.
"What the- Hey!" You heard somepony below you scream.
"Hurry lets get out of here," you screamed, and you were off, flying with your friends flying off with you.
*****
"Did they just..." Luna tried to say.
"Yes they just escaped the elements, with a simple cat and mouse trick..." you said trailing off.
You are now Celestia, and you just witnessed Mint and his friends escape.
You go to Plant pole Twilight and her friends were tied to. The vines were multiple plants going around each other.
"Well it looks like you got a first hoof look at what their bands do, this is beautiful you know, the colors, the smell, everything seems to be amazing," you said, getting them out of the pole.
"Why are you looking at the bright side, we still lost Mint," Twilight said.
"Remember what he said earlier," you said, and Twilight realized and nodded.
"Well the scent of this was nice but we still have to catch him," she said.
"Yes so we split up again, don't hesitate to catch them with any means possible, but don't kill them okay," you said, everypony nodded.
"Great, lets go," you said and headed off again.
This time you'll use your powers just to hold them down, they aren't doing anything wrong, nor are they being mean, but we have to speak with them.
You and Luna stuck to the shadows, making sure not to draw attention. You see someponies in some crowds, and they were who you were looking for.
You continue to stay hidden, until you manage to get close enough to grab a hold of them.
You are close enough and start glowing your horn, but before you could get them, Delphinia notices you and pushes Mint and Lavender out of the way and you only managed to grab Delphinia.
"Go run," Delphinia shouted, and Mint and Lavender see you and they run.
"At least they're safe..." she said.
You walk over to her.
"Well that's one, to bad that not them all, we need to know every thing," you said.
"You will get nothing out of us, we don't want to talk about it," she said, beginning to cry.
"Well you'll be coming with me," you said, tieing her wings and weakening her, and laying her on your back.
"We did nothing wrong..." she said, still crying, she was right they did nothing wrong.
"Why must we run like inmates... and get captured like criminals..." she whispered, tears still falling from her eyes.
"Good work, Tia, but what happened to the others," Luna said walking next to you.
"They got away, she pushed them out of the way before I could get a hold of them.
"Why couldn't you just leave us in peace..." Delphinia whispered... they wanted peace? Yet we didn't give them it...
"We just wanted some time alone... some time to think..." she whispered... she wiped the tears from her eyes and cleared her throat.
Delphinia began singing a song you've never heard, but it seems like Luna knows it.
Thanks to singing harmony she sang every thing in tune along with other ponies nearby.
(Remember I don't own anything that has to do with music)
(Here on the Moon - by 4everfreebrony)
"Ponyville, I was in love with you
It's time to say goodbye,
La da da da da
Look at me trotting here on my own,
It's time to say goodbye,
This is no game of hide and seek,
It's time to say goodbye,
La da da da da
La da da da da
And with that she finished. She just laid there not saying a word for the rest of the trip to the library.
Once you make it you see Twilight and her friends it seem they captured Lavender.
"You could have let us think in peace... yet you didn't... you could have let us go... you didn't... we didn't do anything... yet you accuse us of doing something..." Lavender said.
"If we die now it's fine... as long as Mint is still out there, we are happy..." Delphinia said.
"Let me guess, when you went to capture them both, you only captured Lavender," you asked, they nodded.
*****
You are Mint... and your friends are gone.
"Why," you said, you were laying on a cloud, a storm cloud at that.
"Why did you have to go and try to be aggressive..." you stayed lying there.
You call your vine and it spouts out of the cloud, you tie yourself up and write a letter, you leave it on your head, your tired, and you can't keep yourself awake, you fall asleep, bound in your own vine, giving up... you can't take the pain anymore.
*****
"Hey why is there a storm cloud flying out there, I thought there was not going to be any rain this week," you said.
You are Celestia and you see a dark cloud slowly pass over several buildings, it had a somepony in it.
"Hey is that Mint right up there," Twilight asked.
"Yep, that's him, but why is he on a storm cloud, he should be should be hiding if he doesn't want us to find him," Rainbow said.
"Well lets go see," you said.
You all head toward the cloud and bring it down to the ground so you can see it.
"Yep it's Mint alright, but why is he not running off somewhere else," Twilight said.
"Hey guys, check it out he left us a letter here," Rainbow said.
You grab the letter in your magic, and read it out loud.
"Dear those whom this may consern,
I give up... I can't stay hiding, I can't keep running like a criminal... all we wanted was some time alone to think, but what do you do... you come at us like we're monsters, shouting 'get back here', or something... you did this on yourself, you forced us to use our powers that we barely learned, the ones to blame are all of you, if you had left us alone then we wouldn't have to force our hoof, but no... so I lay here tired, sad, depressed, scared, worried about my friends, I would call you friends... but would friends have done what you have done... I would have to say that the real monsters are you... I tied myself, wrote this letter so you wouldn't be confused, I gave up my self, at what cost... why... why must you do this to me and my friends... and so I say this to you my once good friends... it's I pity that I gave up... but what could I have done... I'm going up against two Alicorns, both of which can raise both the sun and moon, two unicorns, one that can literally levitate multiple heavy things, two Pegasi, one that can fly faster than me, and two Earth ponies, one that can break the fourth wall and the other one who is very strong, I stand no chance, I'm but a lowly Pegasus that can cause mint vines to come out of the ground... so if your reading this and you wanted to capture me... go ahead I'm already tied up, I can't go anywhere seeing as I'm asleep... well I guess that's it, don't say I didn't try... well maybe until I wake up,
Your broken pony, Mint..." you finished reading.
"Did he just say we're not friends anymore," everypony said.
"I'm afraid so..." you said.
You look at the bound Mint Cloud... he was as he said, bound up, but in his vines.
"So... all this time... Mint only wanted to be alone with his friends, but we didn't give them that... so here he is," you said.
"Well lets take him inside... we still have to talk to them," Twilight said, tears in her eyes.
"..." Lavender and Delphinia were silent... they didn't want to talk, not even trying make an attempt at leaving...
You all take a crack at grabbing Mint, thought it seems the vine he used to tie himself is stuck inside the cloud, how he made this work your not sure.
"Well, we'll just have to take the entire cloud with us," you said, as you carry Delphinia on your back, and Mint on his cloud back to the library.
After some time passes after getting Mint inside, the vine disappeared.
"Oh sweet, the vines disappear after some time," Rainbow said.
"Well, lets get him to a seat, and make sure he's tied to it," you said.
You levate him off the cloud and Rainbow goes and gets rid of the cloud. Mint, Lavender, and Delphinia were tied to chairs.
"Well you going to say something," you said.
"...no..." they both said.
"What? What did you just say," you asked.
"...no..." they both said again.
"Your not going to say anything," you asked.
"...no..." this is getting ridiculous.
"YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW," you said, entering Royal Canterlot Voice.
"... ..." they said nothing
"You could have just let us go..." Lavender whispered.
"We did nothing to you..." Delphinia whispered.
"We merely needed time to think..." Mint was awake...
"But did you give us any..." the three of them said.
"NO!" They all shouted, all tree of them entering Royal Canterlot Voice level, it shook the library, and knocked all the books down.
"DID YOU NOT THINK WE NEEDED SOME ALONE TIME AFTER WE SAID WE WOULD BE RIGHT BACK!!!" At this rate they will cause several trees to fall.
"OBVIOUSLY NOT, CAUSE YOU COME TERREIZING US WITH WANTING TO TALK WHEN WE DON'T WANT TO, SO FOR THE FINAL TIME, LEAVE US ALONE!!!" Their shout became louder and more forceful, it even knocked you down.
You were knocked into the wall from the forcefulness of their screaming.
Woah... never thought somepony would be able to actually shout louder than the Royal Canterlot Voice...
They stopped, they didn't scream, instead they were crying... but they didn't sound like they were crying, only tears filled their eyes, anger filled in the rest.
Everypony was speechless, they saw their once grateful friends shout at them with a force that not even you yourself could create.
"Applejack, go untie them," you said, she did.
"Do you not want to talk about why you wanted time to think," you asked.
"I will, just this once," Mint said.
"Schizophrenia... the one thing I didn't want to hear again in my life, someone special to us died to it... no matter what it's always had to be schizophrenia... but seeing as they're not here, I guess we might as well say this... they were a friend of ours, but not just a friend, a special friend... a great friend... and he died because of that stupid disease, and we're left here to suffer the cost of loosing him, and what do we get for not wanting to talk about it, we get tied up, and forced to hurt our friends so they can leave us in peace, we didn't want to hurt you, we were forced to, forced to hurt you so we can be okay... but what do you still do, you come after us with brute force, using a power drain spell, tackling to the floor, and giving up for being underpowered, you really should feel ashamed of yourselfs, I may not know much about this world, but I know that friendship is very powerful here, so would you really risk your friendship over some answers that you'll maybe never get, so... I leave you this much information to think about, but right now we leave, and Pinkie tell the Cakes we're taking a break, we need time to think," Mint said, with the amount of things he said, it left you all again speechless, but you didn't notice that Mint and his friends had left, never to be seen anytime soon.
Author's Note
"It seems your friends have a deep past... a very deep past
First of all, like I said, I don't own anything that has to do with music.
