Indiana Jones In Equestria

Chapter 3: Wherein Indy Still Cannot Even... (Or Meeting The Princesses + The Mane Six)

Previous Chapter

Both Indiana Jones and Daring Do headed toward Ponyville with the intention of finding help from either the monarchs of Equestria or a friend of Daring's.

"Halt foul creature!" a bunch of voices, belonging to a squad of Pegasus guards shouted towards Indiana Jones, while he himself reached for his bullwhip. Just as the guards were about to arrest Indy, a regal yet commanding voice rang out:

"STOP! Let me deal with these two." An alabaster white alicorn and a dark blue one said at once.

"But Your Highness, this creature is dangerous!" A guard shouted.

"Be still. Allow us to handle this." the white one said.

"As you wish Your Highnesses." the guard says, backing off.

"Hello Miss Do. Hello... um." the princess said.

"I'm Doctor Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones of Barnett College, but please, call me "Indy" or "Indiana"." Indy says, introducing himself to the white alicorn.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Indiana. I am Princess Celestia. And this is my sister, Princess Luna."

"Pleasure to meet you both." Indy says, shaking both the monarch's hooves.

"I'm sure you must need a place to stay after you travelled this far. Speaking of which, how did you manage to come here? There hasn't been a human here for centuries." Princess Celestia asked.

"I... don't know. I have no clue how I even got here. I was hoping that you could tell me. The last thing I remember was being chased by a giant rock and almost getting crushed and poof..." Indy says, snapping his fingers. "I'm suddenly here."

"Hmm." Princess Celestia muses. "That is strange. Your best bet is to talk to my student and her friends."

"And where are they?" Indy asks.

"In Yakistan, dealing with a problem."

Much to the monarch's surprise, Indy was laughing. Laughing. Wrap your head around that.

"What's so funny?" Princess Luna asks, raising a brow.

His laughter subsiding, Indy answers, "Forgive me Princess, but..." he suppresses a snicker. "'Yakistan' sounds like Pakistan!"

"When Twilight and her friends return. We will summon them to Canterlot to meet you." Princess Celestia explains.

Again, Indy starts howling with laughter. "P-Please..." Indy says, in between laughs, eventually calming down somewhat. "N-No more. I can't take the horse puns anymore!"

Princess Celestia sighs. Today was going to be a long day.

A few hours later, Daring Do, Indiana Jones, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna all rode in a chariot towards Canterlot Castle, the guards landing near the front door. The four then proceed into the throne room where they awaited the arrival of Twilight and her friends.

"This is a nice place you have here." Indy comments, pointing to the glass windows with depictions of various events in the present day. "Kinda reminds me of Archduke Ferdinand's palace. And... her." he says that last part sadly.

"Who is this 'her' thou speakest of?" Princess Luna asks.

Indy then takes out a locket with a picture of the person in question. "This is Princess Sophie, daughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. My first love interest."

"I was deeply in love with her. We were good friends. But then, something happened in which Archduke Ferdinand forbade me from seeing her again. I snuck out of my room to see her one last time. Years later, Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914. I fought in World War one on the side of the French." Indy explains.

"I'm sure Rainbow Dash would love to hear of your adventures." Princess Celestia said with a subtle grin.

A few minutes later, Twilight and her friends walked into the throne room.

"Oh my. Whatever is he wearing?" a posh voice coming from one of the mares asks.

"I normally wear this when I'm off on an adventure."

"What do you wear when you're not?" the mare asks. "Oh. Wherever are my manners? I'm Rarity."

"It's nice to meet you miss. I am Doctor Henry "Indiana" Jones, Professor of Archaeology. You can call me "Indy," or "Indiana"."

"Wow princess, I thought you were joking about a human being here. Hey Twilight? I thought that humans were myths?" a cyan mare, which Indy assumed to be Rainbow Dash asked another purple mare with wings.

"OH A NEW GUY. HE MUST BE NEW SO THAT MEANS I HAVE TO THROW HIM A PART---"

"Pinkie, this is hardly the time or place to throw a party for him. We'll have to do it some other time."

Twilight's eye twitched.

"Is she alright?" Indy asked, following Twilight's examining of him. He points to her again. "Is she always like this when something like me comes around?"

"Well darn tootin' mister. Ah think ya'll broke her." another mare with a southern drawl said.

"No, I think she's..."

Suddenly, much to Indy's surprise, Twilight belted him with a barrage of questions.

"What are you? Who are you? Why are you here? What are you wearing? What's that on your belt? Why do you have a bag attached to you? What do you do for a living? Are you a SPY?!?!?!"

"Yeah." Rainbow Dash says. "Are you a SPY?!"

"CONSARNIT RAINBOW! Ya'll think everypony we meet is a spah!"

"First off, I'm a human, or homo sapiens if you wanna get scientific with me. Second, I'm Doctor Henry "Indiana" Jones of Barnett College, but please call me "Indy". Third, I have no motives for being here, I came here by accident. Fourth, this is my ensemble for when I'm off on an adventure, and when I don't I normally wear a suit when I teach a class, which I left at home. Next, as for what's on my belt, my bullwhip and gun, which I use for self-defense. The bag, as you call it, is a satchel, and I have it slung over my shoulder. As I said before, I am a Professor of Archaeology and an adventurer. Finally, no, I'm not a spy. I have no intention of hurting you or your leaders. If I were to try and hurt any of you, your princess would probably incinerate me to a pile of ashes. Does that answer your questions?" Indy answered, out of breath.

Twilight was flabbergasted, Rarity and the orange mare who never introduced herself (how rude) were in shock, Rainbow Dash was fangirling (fan... fillying? I dunno.) at the sheer fact that he was an adventurer, just like her idol, a yellow Pegasus mare with a pink mane just backed off and hid behind her mane, and Pinkie's jaw literally dropped all the way to the floor.

"Pray tell Dr. Jones, how did thoust come here?" Princess Luna asked.

"First of all, don't call me "Dr. Jones," please. It makes me feel old. And second. The last thing I remember is being chased in a temple by a boulder, tripping on a random rock, and poof. I'm here."

"Twilight. May I uh, live with you in, wherever you live in..." he snickers. "Ponyville? I don't exactly have anywhere else to go."

Shaking out of her Dr. Jones-induced mindf(SQUEE)ck, Twilight smiled and said, "Of course you can."

"I'm sorry for landing on you Daring. No hard feelings?" Indy asks, turning his attention to Daring, who looked back at him with an "I don't give a shit" look on her face.

"We're good." is the only thing that came out of Daring's mouth.

"Then it's settled. Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones shall live with Twilight and her friends in Ponyville while we figure out a way to send him back." Princess Celestia said, looking to her sister.

"I have no qualms with this arrangement." Princess Luna says in approval.
