Three brothers end up in Equestria. Adventures galore!

This is the story of three brothers, who on a seemingly peaceful summer day, were magically transported to Equestria through their xbox. With no idea of how they arrived or why, they began to explore their new universe, making friends with various ponies in different locations. Unfortunately, dark times are upon Equestria, as a huge civil war breaks out, forcing the brothers to become enemies. Can the war, and ultimately, the end of Equestria, be prevented by the special bond that exists among brothers?

Joining the Party

It was 5 o'clock in the morning, and somewhere in the magical land of New York, three brothers were happily asleep. They had a wonderful, average summer day. Luigi had gone off to work in the morning, leaving Antonio and Giovanni to sleep until whenever. When they woke up, they did whatever they wanted. Once Luigi got home from work around 12:30, they would hang out for a little while, waiting for the best part of the day. At 1:30, they turned on the television and went right to the Hub to watch their favorite TV show. They didn't care what episode of MLP was on, they enjoyed whatever they got. After their show was over, they would spend the day doing errands and derping around. Once everything was taken care of, they would get on the xbox. They would spend a lot of the time playing Minecraft online, with friends. And the next day was no different. Such was the way they passed the summer.

The day started the same as the last few had. Luigi got up early and got ready for work. He hopped on his bike at 7:45 and was off to school to teach math (oh god, why math?!).

Antonio and Giovanni woke up around 11:00. Just in time for ponies. Starting the day with ponies is the best way to start the day. Usually, the Hub airs at least 2 pony episodes a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Antonio and Giovanni caught the 11:30 episode. By the time that was finished, Luigi was finishing up and about to leave. Around 12:45, Luigi walked in and, using Antonio and Giovanni's nicknames, said, "Tony? G? I'm home!"

"What's up bro? How was work?" G replied.

"Not bad. I taught some more fractions today"

"Yes. Fractions. Parts and parts of parts of parts." Tony added. Tony was like that all the time. He almost never made any sense, or, maybe he made too much sense, and nobody could see that. His ways of communication were... interesting to say the least.

"Indeed. How about some lunch? I'll go prepare a 5 star college level masterpiece for you!"

"...You're making cereal again, aren't you?"

"Mozzarella sticks."

"In the oven?"

"In the oven."

And so lunch was prepared. The Mozzarella sticks were ready around the same time that MLP was on for the afternoon, so the three brothers ate while they watched.

"How are the Mozzarella sticks?" asked Luigi.

Both Tony and G replied, "Meh."

"Hey, they're edible and the house hasn't burned down. That's better than last time!"

"Yeah, but this time was much less entertaining!" said Tony.

Once MLP was over, they cleared the table and prepared themselves for the most complex, detailed, challenging, adventurous piece of scientific technology ever created by human hands. That's right, they're playing Minecraft!

They each logged on to their individual xbox live accounts, met up with their friends, and hopped onto their minecraft world, complete with 2 monster spawners, a Nether Temple, 2 hotels- one small one consisting of 5 apartments, and one other one, still under construction, currently a 58x58x40 block cube of wooden planks. (That's a volume of 134,560 blocks. It's huge.) as well as a cave that is off-limits to non-bronies, in which there is a party room based on MLP.

After a few hours of Minecraft, they found themselves switching games with their online friends. That's when something weird happened. As they were opening the disc tray, a notification popped up on the screen.

Yellow_Crescent_Fruit wants you to join
the party

"Who's this guy?" G asked.

"Probably some guy trying to advertise something." Luigi replied.

Tony then shouted, "I DON'T WANT TO BUY YOUR BIBLES!" which made our friends in our party begin laughing.

"You know what? let's humor him." Luigi decided. "Guys, we'll be right back." he said into his microphone.

"Alright, let's see what's going on" he said as he pressed -Join Party- ...

...and began one of the best adventures of their lives.

Where the, what the, who the, huh?

...There was a sound of thunder. There was a flash of bright light. There was the sound of three boys screaming like girls.

And just like that, it was over.

It was 5 o'clock in the morning, and somewhere in the magical land of -LOCATION WITHHELD-, three brothers were happily asleep. At 7 o'clock, Luigi woke up, still feeling really tired, so much so that his vision was blurred. Or maybe that was because he wasn't wearing his glasses. He got ready and left really quickly, sensing that today wasn't going to be the best of days. He got on his bike and began to ride to school while trying to fully wake up.

Man, it's bright out today. Can't even see straight. These friggin colors are too HD. Sunglasses... he thought as he put on his shades. They helped a little.

The trip was strange. The bike felt wobbly the whole time. Uh oh. Something might be loose. better get it checked out later. thought Luigi. When he finally got there, he pulled up in front of the gate. Only there was no gate there. Instead, when he tried to lean on it, he fell right over onto the grass. What the hell? he thought as he got up. Then, he took off his shades and rubbed his eyes. When he opened them, his jaw hit the ground. Oh yeah, I'm dreaming. Which means that I must be late for work. Damn. In front of him, 10 yards away, was Twilight's library. He couldn't believe his eyes. He tried rubbing them again, but it was still there. "Oh my god... I'm in Ponyville... but I just left the house... TONY AND G!" he realized that he had better make sure his brothers were safe, if they were even here. He hopped back onto his bike and sped down the road, back towards the house. Then he actually looked at the situation from a broader perspective. Wait a second...I'm in Ponyville, so... He looked down at himself, and instead of seeing his blue shirt and jeans, he saw blue fur. Holy Jesus! Then he looked at his hands, but saw two blue and white hooves. I'm a pony! OH MY GOD!... wait a second... can ponies ride bikes?

...aaand physics. He lost control of the bike handles, and jumped off of the bike using the pedals, landing on all fours. The bike, however, continued rolling upright, somehow riding itself out of view, into what looked like the Everfree Forest.

"...and it's gone" Luigi said. "At least I'm halfway there. Guess I'll have to..." at this point, he puts his shades back on, "...HOOF IT! YEEEEAAAHHHHH!"

~Meanwhile~

Tony woke up unusually early (which really meant 8:01) and proceeded to attempt to climb down from his bed. He managed to fall off and hit the floor. That's how he normally got off his bed, even if it meant hurting himself to do it. People would say "Don't do that!" and "Your gonna mess up your head!". I don't see the point. That way is just more fun then getting off regularly. He even managed to make a dent into the floor where he landed. Except this time it hurt, a lot. "OWW what the buck!!" Tony put his arms over his head. After a few minutes of pain, he began to lower his arms and observed them. "AHHH!", what happened to my arms! They're red! OH MY GOD, I'm bleeding! What, no? After a few minutes of closer examination he realized that he wasn't. Oh, well that's kinda disappointing. If that's not blood then... he thought to himself. He started to examine the rest of his arm, and he got to his hand. What happened to my hands?. He saw... well, a lack of hands. Umm, okay, that was kinda unexpected. Well what are these then... hooves? Wait a minute... CLICK Holy son of a beach ball on the moon in Africa! This is awesome! I'm a pony! The last word rang in his head for a few moments. Well, I think I've been serious enough.
Preparing to launch in three... two... on-
Antonio.exe stopped working.
Send error report?
Nah...
After several moments (moments, minutes, an hour, whatever) of complete nonsense which was loud enough to wake up people in the next area code, Giovanni woke up and started to get out of bed. Then he said "What are you doin- Oh my God what happened to you!" Realizing that his brother was a pony, G ran to the mirror, and saw that he was a yellow foal with a brown mane and tail. He also noticed that he had wings, and said "OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!?!!!" Still wondering if he was dreaming, he thought, Did I die and go to Equestria? Wait a minute, one does not simply. Deep in shock, he said, "THIS IS AWESOME!! OKAY TONY WHAT HAPPENED I AM SO CONFUSED AND YET SO AMAZED!!!!!!!" he looked to see the clock read 8:47 and said, "Alright, so Luigi won't be home for a while, and we appear to be ponies. Seems legit. What do we do now? I think we should-"

"GUYS, WE HAVE A SITUATION!" Luigi yelled as he barged into the house.
"Boy, that escalated quickly." Tony said.

Tony and G went to the door to meet Luigi. They stared at each other for a few moments, then they all exclaimed in unison,

"WHAT THE BUCK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!"

"Look, I'm a Pegasus!" exclaimed G happily.

Luigi looked at Tony and said, "Dude, you're a unicorn."
Tony looked at Luigi and said, "Dude, you're a unicorn too."

"Woah. This is friggin awesome" Luigi said. "How long have you guys been awake?"
"About half an hour" replied G.

"That means that I spent like 30 minutes... wow. That's a new record." Tony said.

"So, you guys haven't really done anything yet? Well what are we waiting for!" He pointed to his horn, "Let's see what this baby can do!"

With that, he attempted to do some sort of magic. However, he had no idea what he was doing, so nothing occurred.

Meanwhile, Giovanni was jumping up into the air, trying to fly. After some trial and error, he figured out how to keep his balance in the air. "It's all about keeping your wings at the same level and moving them at the same time." he explained.

As Luigi continued failing to do anything, Tony walked back into the room, levitating a cup of water. Luigi saw this, stopped what he was doing, and facehoofed. "How are you doing that?" he asked.

"Doing what?" Tony replied.

"That! With the cup!"

"Oh, this? It's easy! You just...kinda...do it."

"Gee, thanks for the help!" Luigi said sarcastically, as he laid down on the white couch, trying to do something, ANYTHING. Then his phone rang, and Luigi said, "Damn telemarketers. Why are they always calling?" He answered his phone the usual way he would for telemarketers. In a monotone voice he said, "Hello! This is an automated voice message from survey center! Would you like to take a survey?" The other person on the line hung up. "Works every time!" Luigi said happily. Then he realized something. He hadn't actually held his phone while he was talking. Where was it? Did he drop it or something?
Then, his phone's alarm clock went off, late as usual. "Ah! Turn that off!" Luigi yelled. He heard the music stop. But I don't even have my phone on me! What's going on? Then he figured it out. He was using his phone with magic!

While this was happening, Giovanni was staring at his brother as he appeared to talk to himself, and Tony prepared for an exorcism. Tony was about to start throwing water at Luigi when he suddenly "woke up" from his "trance".

"Woah. That's cool." Luigi said all of a sudden.

"You know, you're starting to act more and more like me every day!" Tony said. "I've taught you well."

"I don't think that's a good thing." Luigi said worriedly. "You have got to check this out!"

"What? Did you figure what's wrong with Tony?" G asked hopefully.

"Unfortunately, no. Something better. I figured out some magic!" Luigi explained, "I can access my phone through my horn! check this out!" He went to his music and chose a song. Pony music of course. (Here's what he put on). The song played through his horn, which lit up slightly. It dimmed and shone brighter in tune with the song. "Aw Yeah! this is awesome!" Luigi yelled over the music, which was a little too loud. He figured out how to lower the volume, and brought it down to a less painful level. "Okay, so to use the phone, all I have to do is imagine what needs to be done to navigate the phone. I just imagine the phone in front of me, and press the buttons that will get me to where I need to go. Awesome! Hmmm...I think I'll call it my headphone! Get it? Head-Phone? HA? ... well, I think it's funny..."

"...Okay, so what next?" Giovanni asked. The three of them practicing their abilities had taken a few hours.

"Well, when I got to where school was supposed to be, I saw Twilight's library." Luigi said.

Tony dropped the cup, which shattered on the floor. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER!?!? LET'S GO!" He made for the door, but Luigi yelled, "WAIT!" Tony stopped and looked at him, "What?"

"You of all people would waste this opportunity?" Luigi said, raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mea- ohhhh....I get it."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Do you have the song?"

"Hell yeah."

...

"Let's do this!"

People skills

"Are we ready guys?" asked Luigi.

"Ready!" said Tony.

"Ready, Santa!" said G.

"Okay. Prep the spell Tony. G, start the carriage."

"Okay. We're about 100 feet away from Twilight's place. Probably." said G.

"Good. Tony, start the spell"

"Ok. 3...2...1...!"

The spell magnified Luigi's voice, as he spoke to everypony in the crowded area surrounding Twilight's house, "There once was a town that worked so hard, there was just no time for play. But that all changed on one particular day..."

Giovanni began moving the cart towards the center of the square. Ponies began looking at the cart, which was poorly disguised as some sort of bus, as it pulled up near Twilight's tree house. Luigi used his headphone to put on the song.

[Song]

The three brothers began to slowly exit the cart, standing in front of their "bus." Everypony in the square was looking at them. The three brothers prepared themselves for something truly spectacular...

AND THEN THEY BROKE INTO DANCE, THROWING THEIR HOOVES UP IN THE AIR, SHUFFLING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, JUMPING AROUND, AND HAVING FUN, in a similar way that a certain old man advertising for a certain amusement park would have. The stares that they were getting were priceless. The stares, however, led to motion in the ponies that were watching. Pretty soon, everypony in the square was dancing along with the three brothers, in a moment of true happiness.

Tony then lit up his horn, and magically lit a piece of string on fire. This string connected to a couple of thousands of fireworks that were conveniently conjured up inside of their bus. Tony screamed, "EXPLOSION!!!!" and, on cue, the whole bus blew to smithereens. Fireworks lit up the already bright morning sky, momentarily creating a second sun. As the fireworks fell back to the ground, some that were still lit fell into the fountain, and by some unimaginable feat that can only be chalked up to Tony being Tony, the water in the fountain caught fire. The citizens of Ponyville just assumed that that was part of the plan, so they kept dancing and having a good time.

The door to Twilight's house slammed open, and Spike and Twilight ran outside to see what had exploded. When they saw what was happening, Spike ran in to join the dance, which was dying down, and Twilight simply stared. When the dance was finished, everypony gave the three brothers a round of applause, then continued on with whatever they were doing. This would totally be in the papers tonight!

The three brothers brohoofed. "YES! That was amazing!" Luigi said. "Great job guys!" Spike ran up to them with the biggest smile on his face. "That was the most interesting thing that has ever happened that Pinkie Pie wasn't a part of!"

"I suppose that isn't done often?" Tony asked

"Actually, that never happens." replied Spike

"Stick with us kid."

"It's good you came to us, Spike. We were hoping to go speak with Twilight." said Luigi.

"Sure thing! come on in!"

As they walked in, Luigi turned to Tony and whispered, "You set water on fire? Seriously?"
Tony whispered back, "I actually didn't plan that. There must be something in the water! Maybe it's gasoline, who knows?"
Luigi dismissed this information as nonsense. He looked back at the smoldering pile of ash that was their "bus" and shrugged. Oh well, at least nopony got hurt.

The three brothers entered Twilight's tree house. They were amazed at the detail within the house. The bookshelves were actually hollowed out sections of the tree! Now that was smart! Considering the huge size of the tree, that would fit a LOT of books. And boy, where there a lot of books!

That was where the observation stopped, as all three of the brothers' attention turned to the purple pony coming down the stairs. Twilight entered the room, and for one moment in time, the three brothers were quiet. "Why hello there everypon-OOF!"

Twilight unfortunately could not finish her sentence, as she was assaulted by three ponies in what was probably the best triple glomp of all time. (For those who don't know, a glomp is like a dramatic cross between a tackle and a hug). "ERMAHGERD TWILURT SPURKLE!" exclaimed the three brothers as they lovingly strangled Twilight. This caught her off guard, and she responded by teleporting herself back to her room.

*MENTAL GLOMP CHECKLIST*

Twilight- Check!
(You're next, Dashie...)

The three brothers were left standing in Twilight's place, with Spike staring at them. "What the hay is wrong with you guys?"

"That has not been satisfactorily determined." said Tony.

"Yup, we're as crazy as they get!" added Luigi.

"I second that!" G said.

"Well, you can take your craziness outside. Get out." Spike demanded, looking kinda angry.

"Woah dude, chill out! We don't mean any harm. We still really do need to speak with Twilight." Luigi said.

"Oh yeah? Well you have 10 seconds to assure me that you're 'normal,' otherwise, you're outta here!" Spike replied.

"Uh.. Oh! We can count to three!"

"So? how does that make you normal?"

"Well, where we come from, there are entire businesses that, while successful, lack the ability to count to 3! It's a legitimate problem where we're from!"

Tony turned to look at you, the reader. "Right Valve? Right?" he asked.

Spike and G looked at Tony. Luigi Facehoofed.

Then Luigi spoke up, "But seriously Spike, we're trustworthy. We were just excited to meet Twilight, and we got a little carried away."

"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Spike said. He started to push them out of the room. Hearing that the problem was being resolved Twilight started to come back down the stairs.

"No! Spike, no, please! No, Twilight please, I'm sorry, help! I can change! I love you! Tony said desperately.

And cue the blush and annoyed looks.

"Well, I tried"

"OK! I think that you can stay for a while." Twilight said tying her best to hide the blushes. Spike followed through and let us go. "Since you'll be here a while, would you like some tea?" The brothers turned to each other and exchanged glances for several moments. They turned back, as if they had concluded a secret conversation, then Luigi spoke.

"How can I say no?"

"Then it's settled, Spike?"

"Fine," Spike said with a huff as he walked into the kitchen. Once in the doorway and out of Twilight's view he turned around and passed an angry glance our way and signaled that he was watching us with his claw.

"You know, that would be kind of scary if he didn't look so cute while doing it" Tony said to Luigi and G who saw it and they nodded in agreement.

"What?" Twilight said not seeing the scene Spike made.

"Nothing, nothing" said Luigi.

"The tea should be out soon, how about you tell me about yourselves. Where are you from?" Twilight asked. The brothers exchanged nervous glances.

"If you would excuse us for a moment." Luigi said. They didn't wait for a response, instead they got up and went to the other side of the room and huddled in a circle.

"What do we say?" G whispered in a worried tone.

"We just tell her that we're from Earth." Tony stated plainly.

"Won't that cause all of existence to collapse into a black hole?" Luigi questioned.

"Sure, but it would be a hell of a ride." Tony said, getting excited at the thought of it "Anyway, do you have a better idea? No? Okay then. G, get the surf boards ready."

Then Spike came back into the room with four cups and a kettle of tea. The brothers broke their circle and started towards Twilight and Spike. They sat down and prepared for what the were about to say.

"So, you were about to say where you are from." Twilight said as Spike passed out the tea cups. The brothers looked to each other tying to get each other to destroy the fabric of time and space.

"I guess I'll go" Tony said. Luigi and G exchanged worried glances as if they had made a mistake. Spike finished passing out the cups with Tony last. But when he passed it, he "accidentally" spilled it all over him.

"Spike!" Twilight exclaimed at his rudeness.

"Silly Spikey." Tony said as he attempted to levitate the tea off the floor, but instead, he turned it purple. "What? Well, that's new." He tried again and managed to get it back into the cup. He looked at it curiously and took a sip. "Wine?"

"But that was just water and tea leaves..." Spike said, bewildered.

Tony stared to take another sip. "Don't do that!" Luigi intervened trying to prevent a disaster. The last thing he needed was for Tony to get drunk. Tony then proceeded to drink the entire cup in seconds.

"What's your point?" Tony slurred. This won't end well Luigi thought as he tried to continue the conversation.

"Our story is quite simple, dear Twilight." Luigi said. Twilight began to drink her tea. "The three of us are otherworldly beings, aliens in your universe, who through some unknown reason have gone through a complex metamorphosis and teleportation that has landed us in Equestria in the form of its most common demographic unit."

The bad news was she didn't believe them. However, they achieved the desired result.

Twilight did the biggest, best, most epic spit-take that the three had ever seen. It went EVERYWHERE. It was all over the walls...and the floor... and the ceiling........OK that's a little bit over-exaggerated. Let's just say, there was a HUGE mess to clean up.

"WHAT!" exclaimed Twilight. The she saw the mess she made. "Oh my Celestia." She said as she covered her face with her hooves. "That's so embarrassing..." she whimpered.

"Heh. Don't worry about it. We'll get this cleaned up." Luigi said.

"Hey Spike... WHERE ARE THE PAPER TOWELS?!" Tony yelled.

"There over here, in this bag!" Spike yelled back from inside the kitchen.

"Throw em' over here!" Tony responded.

Spike complied. The roll of paper towels came flying out of the kitchen. It was a new roll of "Brony" paper towels.

Tony caught the roll with his magic, and used it to cover most of the room. Then, he rolled it up into a big ball, and incinerated it. Luigi's eye's widened, "DUDE! We're in a tree!!"

"OH BUCK!" Tony yelled. Without thinking, Tony levitated the kettle of tea and threw it on to the fire, singing, "SAFETY WATER!"

G came out from behind him and continued, "PUT IT ON THE FIRE!"

"SAFETY WATE-"

"GUYS!" Luigi yelled to get the others attention. They turned to look at him. "What are you doing?"

Tony walked to the ball of ash smoldering in the room. "Well, my job is done here." Tony then tapped the floor with his hoof and created a portal. G and Tony jumped through. Then Tony stuck his head out and called, "SPIKE!" and jumped back through, leaving Luigi alone with an extremely confused Twilight and and a very, very pissed off dragon.
