Chapters Equestria is a land of so many wonders and ponies. There are ponies of all sorts and yet there are some strange things that can happen in Equestria that nobody has yet to explain, but there is one pony who understands it all and he spends his time...well going through time. His name is Dr. Hooves, he travels time and pony space just enjoying the sights and everything that goes on around and yet sometimes things happen that he can’t explain, for example the reason his time machine wound up in front of four very unusual friends. These four were Dysmetix, Bass, Chuck, and Hak. It was a whole nother world, none like anything the Doctor had ever seen, things much like ponies, but they walked on two hooves and used their other hooves to grab and hold things. The five sat around talking all day and just enjoying their time together. The four friends were delighted to hear all about this pony world with magic, pegasi, and many other creatures.
“Doctor, we would love to go with to your world.” Dysmetix suggested.
“That would be so awesome.” Hak said in agreement, but the Doctor shook his head and responded,
“I can’t do that there is no telling what would happen to your world or mine if I brought you back. It might explode both our worlds or cause them to collide.”
They all looked at each other in thought and just kinda had sad looks on their faces.
“I would have loved to go to your world, it sounds so amazing and inspiring, I am sure I could write so many songs from it.” Bass stated. The Doctor looked at them and pondered for a bit and then had an idea.
“Boys.” He started, “I know of a way that you will be able to travel with me.”
The four all became happy and rushed to the time machine with him. The Doctor begins flipping switches and pushing buttons, “Now as I do this you may start to feel-” The Doctor was interrupted by a loud thud. He looked over to see them all passed out on the floor of his time machine. “Ah beginners.” He said with a light chuckle as he continued pushing buttons. then he lifted one final lever and the machine teleported off of earth.
Twilight noticed a strange sound coming from down stairs and rushed down to see the blue box time machine show up in the middle of her living room. Dr. Hooves walked out, “Ah, hello Twilight.” He said.
“Good day to you Doctor, what brings you to my home?” She questioned.
“Well you see, I stumbled across this fascinating place with some very unusual ponies, and some of them requested to come back with me. The only problem is that I need to be somewhere very important at this time, and so I was wondering if you could take care of them, they might act a little strange when they wake up.” He stated.
She looked at him a bit weird and responded saying, “Well, I suppose I could take care of them for the time being and I can show them around later because I don’t really have anything to do today.”
“Ah, that is fantastic, I knew I could count on you Twilight. Spike, come help me get these ponies out of here please.” He said.
“Sure thing Mister.” Spike said as he walked down into the box helping drag out the four ponies.
“Well I’m off then, have a nice day.” The Doctor said and then vanished once again. Twilight sat there for a bit staring at the ponies with their strange appearances before she finally used her magic to levitate them into a bed in a big pile and then goes back to studying her books.
One of the four ponies slowly began to awake, Dysmetix. “Whoa I had the weirdest dream ever, I dreamt I had met a talking pony with a bow tie and suit.” He said to himself as he slowly awoke and tried to get up. He had some trouble getting up due to the fact he had his friend’s laying on top of him. “Wow this is real funny guys.” He said as he pushed himself out slowly, once he was finally free he noticed he was not in his house. “Hm. This is really really weird, I wonder where we are.” He said as he looked out the window. “I don’t recognize any place like this in our area.” He scratched his head and then felt a strange object on his head and he continued bumping it and it made sort of the thunking sound. “Oh geez, what did you guys glue to my head?” He asked as he tried to grab it then noticed something strange. “Did you guys seriously glue my hand in a fist shape again?!” He said and looked at his hands then noticed they were hooves. He sat there blinking for a bit and then tried to stand up and fell down. Ow, what happened? I can’t stand up. He looked at his legs and also found hooves. Am I still dreaming? He thought to himself. He stood up on all fours and walked down the stairs, not noticing his friends on the bed.
When he arrived at the bottom and looked around for a mirror, he noticed a room with a mirror in the back and walked towards it. He opened the door and looked at the mirror as he slowly walked towards it. Once he finally got to it he looked carefully into it due to the lack of light he had trouble making things out.
“Here let me help you.” A voice said and a light came on.
“Thank you very-” He responded without looking at where the voice and instead stared intensely at the mirror in shock as he saw a dark blue colored unicorn with four spikes on his head, one had black, green, and sky blue. The other spikes were all those three colors but individual in the order of sky blue, green, and black. He noticed that the light was not coming from the one in the room due to the fact he could see the light was off in the mirror, he looked over to his side to notice a purple unicorn with dark hair and purple and pink.
“Hi, my name’s Twilight, what’s yours?” She asked.
His jaw dropped and then he let out the loudest longest scream he had ever released in his life. This went on for a little while before Twilight shoved a pillow in his mouth.
His friends all came running in, “What’s wrong man!?” They all yelled, then saw Twilight and Dysmetix, then proceeded to scream as well for a second, then looked at each other and screamed louder. Twilight rolled her eyes as she shoved pillows in their mouths before saying, “Alright now if you’re all willing to calm down and listen to my explanation, I can try to clear up some of your confusion alright?” The four nodded their head to her and went into the living room and sat down for her explanation.
As she proceeded to explain that they were in Equestria and that they were brought there by a mythical pony named, Dr. Hooves. She explained the many different types of ponies in the world of Equestria, as well as creatures. “That pretty much covers it, any questions?” She asked. They looked at each other and shook their heads, but Dysmetix nodded his. She walked over and pulled the pillow from his mouth and asked, “What’s your question?”
“Actually that was it.” He said.
“Wait, what?” She asked.
He stretched his jaw and closed it before saying, “I was going to ask if you could take the pillow out of my mouth.”
“Oh sorry.” She said and removed the pillows from his friend’s mouths.
“Allow us to introduce ourselves, I’m Dysmetix.” He said, “Aaaaaand...idk which one of these ponies is my friends.”
“I’m Bass.” The purple unicorn with a white mane responded.
“I’m Chuck.” Said the brown pony with a short spiky brown mane.
“Guys! I have wings this is so cool!” Said the last pony, as he looked around everyone looked at him kind of strangely.
“It is wonderful to meet you all, so how long do you think you will be here in Equestria?” Twilight asked, she noticed they were looking at each other strangely before asking, “I’m gonna guess the Doctor didn’t talk about that?” They all nodded at her and as they did she slammed her hoof on her face, “Typical Doctor.” She said. “I can show you around Ponyville if you’d like.” She said.
“If you would please, we would be very appreciative if you could show us around what would be our new home for a while.” Bass said to her.
“Alright then I guess we’re off.” She said as she opened the door and they all proceeded to exit.
She walked around the town showing her where the best places in town to hang out with people were, talking about what kind of people were in the town, and also talking a bit about the history. They were eventually stopped by a completely pink pony with some outrageously poofy pink hair...er mane.
“Hey everypony, how are you doing today? Twilight, are these some new friends? Did they just get to Ponyville for the first time? Do I need to throw them a party? Oooo ya I love parties, I’m gonna go set up one at Sugar Cube Corner right now!” She said and then bounced off.
“Uhhh, yeah, that was Pinkamena Diane Pie. We just call her Pinkie Pie.” Twilight said.
Pinkie then showed up behind her and said, “Yupperonni, that’s me. I forgot to ask who I’m making the party for, what’s your names?” Pinkie asked.
“Well I’m Hak, that’s Bass, that’s Chuck, and that’s Dysmetix.” Hak responded.
“Oooo you guys all have funny names, and you look funny too.” Pinkie said laughing, “Oh Twilight, you should introduce them to everypony today, oh wait, they’ll all meet them at the party tonight, oh I gotta go pass out flyers and everything! Bye!” She said then galloped off.
“Is she always that um...” Dysmetix was saying, but interrupted.
“Crazy? Loopy? Hyper-active? Yes.” Twilight responded.
They continued walking through the town checking out places and then Twilight was stopped by a blue flying pegasus. “Hey Twilight, did you hear about the new ponies that came into town? Pinkie’s throwing a party for them, I can’t wait to meet them!” She said.
“Rainbow Dash, meet our new friends.” Twilight said pointing at the four of them.
“Whoa you look so cool.” She said as she flew up to Dysmetix.
“Thanks I suppose.” Dysmetix responded.
“Rainbow Dash, cool down on it a bit, they’re not used to all this attention, they just met Pinkie.” Twilight said.
“Ohhh sorry if I scared you guys.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Nah it’s cool.” Chuck responded.
“Hey you’re a Pegasus!” Hak said.
“Yup I’m the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!” Rainbow Dash said sticking her chest out.
“Allow us to introduce ourselves, my name is Bass, these are my friends, Chuck, Hak, and Dysmetix.” Bass said.
Rainbow Dash went over to Dysmetix and said, “Your name is super awesome!”
“Thanks, I like your mane.” Dysmetix said.
“Wow thanks, I like yours too.” She said with a smile, “Well I gotta run, I’ll see you guys tonight.”
“Bye.” They all said as she flew off.
“Hey guys look I can fly!” Everypony turned to see Hak flying...upside-down.
“Ummm Hak, I don’t think that’s how you do it.” Chuck said as everypony started laughing.
“What’s so funny everypony?” A timid voice said.
“Oh hey Fluttershy, these are some new friends.” Twilight said.
“Hello Fluttershy.” Bass said.
Fluttershy peeked out from behind Twilight. “Sorry guys she’s a little-” Twilight was interrupted as she was flipped up into the air by Fluttershy as she went over to Hak. “Shy...” Twilight said with a look of disdain.
“Haha you are quite the funny flyer.” Fluttershy said to Hak.
“Thanks!” Hak responded with a smile.
“I am pleased to meet you, my name is Fluttershy.” She said politely.
“I’m Hak, that’s Chuck, Bass, and Dysmetix.” He said with a big smile, Fluttershy whispered into Hak’s ear. Hak bursted out laughing before saying, “Oh no, even though he is big and has a deep voice, Bass is nothing to be afraid of. And even though his hair is really pointy and he is completely scary looking, Dysmetix isn’t either.”
“Honestly, there really is nothing to be afraid of with me, but Dysmetix I can’t speak for.” Bass said.
“HEY!” Dysmetix said as he punched Bass over the head, before continuing saying, “I’m not that scary!”
Fluttershy quickly hid behind Twilight. “It’s ok Fluttershy, he really is nice.” Twilight said.
“I need to go take care of the animals, sorry, but I will see you all at the party tonight.” Fluttershy said and flew off.
“Bye!” Hak said, “She’s so nice.” He continued.
“Oh I know I am.” A voice said. They all turned around to see a white unicorn with purple hair.
“Oh hey Rarity.” Twilight said, “These are some new ponies in town and they’re gonna be around for a while.”
“Oh I know, I came to see if their pictures were accurate.” She said as she showed the flyer for the party.
“Ok seriously how did she do that? We just met her like twenty minutes ago and now everypony knows about it?!” Chuck said.
“Oh that’s just Pinkie being Pinkie.” Twilight said.
“Oh yes indeed.” Rarity added.
“Allow me to introduce us, it’s about time I got to do something. My name’s Chuck, that’s Bass, Hak, and Dysmetix.” He said.
“I’m sure it is a bit more honorable for you to meet me than it is for me to meet you, I’m Rarity and um...why is that pony flying upside-down?” She asked as she looked at Hak.
“He doesn’t usually fly much, plus this place is different for him.” Twilight said.
“Oh, I see. I’m not well versed in the matters of pegasus and their flight. I do however know gems and fashion remarkably well.” Rarity stated.
“This I have noticed.” Bass said as he looked at her dress covered in gems.
“Oh my, I forgot to change before I left. My bad. Well I don’t want to get this dirty so I better head home before it gets that way, farewell.” Rarity said as she dashed off.
“Bye now.” They all said.
“Howdy everypony.” A kind of country voice rang.
“Oh hey Applejack.” Twilight said.
“I came to see what all the fuss Pinkie was making earlier, and now I see.” Applejack said.
“Yup we got a couple new friends moving in for a while.” Twilight said.
“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Applejack and who are you ponies?” Applejack questioned.
Hak flew forward and looked her in the eyes carefully before smiling and then saying, “I’m Hak, that’s Bass, Chuck, and Dysmetix.”
“What kinda names are those?” Applejack asked.
“The kind we were given by our crazy parents.” Chuck said.
“Whatcha mean crazy?” Applejack asked.
“Hmmm I guess you could say a few apples short of an orchard.” Dysmetix said.
“Oh I gotcha, wait are you making fun of me?” Applejack asked with a glare.
“No, I don’t even get how that could insult you other than your name has to do with apples.” Dysmetix said.
“I work on an apple farm with my family.” Applejack said.
“HAH! Way to go Dys.” Chuck said.
“Oh shut up Chuck.” Dysmetix responded.
“Well I will see y’all later.” Applejack said as she stormed off.
“Well, you’ve pretty much met all of my best pony friends. The rest are just townsfolk that I don’t know a whole lot about.” Twilight said.
“Who are they?” Dysmetix asked as he pointed to a couple ponies over at Sugar Cube Corner.
“Oh that’s a bunch of music ponies who play music in all sorts of places they’re nice ponies, but like I said I don’t know much about-” Twilight was saying before she was interrupted by Bass and Dysmetix running off as fast as they could towards the two ponies.
“You guys are music ponies!?” They both yelled as they got up next to them.
“Well, yeah, we are. I’ve never seen you guys here, you must be those new ponies Pinkie is throwing a party for.” The white unicorn said.
“Yeah we are, we just got here in ponyville, we’re musicians too and we wanted to meet like minded people.” Bass said.
“Well I’m Octavia, and this is my friend Vinyl.” The gray pony said.
“I’m Dysmetix, and this is Bass.” He responded.
“I see you like the Treble Clef.” Bass said.
“I just really like music, it is the love of my life really.” Octavia said.
“We love music too, we do all sorts of music back home.” Dysmetix said.
“Cool, do you like DJ stuff?” Vinyl asked.
“You better believe it!” Dysmetix responded.
“How about classical stuff?” Octavia questioned.
“Absolutely.” Bass said.
“Do you guys like metal?” Dysmetix asked in excitement.
Octavia and Vinyl looked at each other then back at them and asked, “You mean like metal as in steel?”
“No, I mean metal style music.” Dysmetix said.
“What’s that?” Vinyl asked. Dysmetix jaw dropped.
“You poor ponies...so deprived.” He said.
“Why is that?” Octavia questioned.
“Well it is only one of the greatest styles of music ever.” Dysmetix said.
“Well if you can maybe you can show us what it’s like.” Vinyl responded.
“I’m more partial to classical and show choirs.” Bass said then continued, “However I do love almost every style of music out there.”
“Well you are quite a wonderful musician as near as I can tell, maybe we can all get together and share musical notes and such.” Octavia said.
“Definitely.” Bass said.
“Bro hoof?” Dysmetix asked as he raised his hoof to Vinyl.
“What’s a bro hoof?” She asked.
“Well you take your hoof and bump it with mine, it is kinda like a handshake.” Dysmetix said.
“Oh sweet! Bro hoof!” Vinyl shouted as she bumped hooves with him.
“Will we see you at the party?” Bass asked.
“Definitely, we always welcome everypony.” Octavia replied.
“Alright then, we gotta get going, see you later.” Dysmetix said as he walked out the door.
“Yeah we’ll see you.” Bass agreed as he walked out.
While Dysmetix and Bass were inside, a gray pony with a blonde-mane came up to Twilight, Chuck, and Hak. “Hey everypony, what’s going on?” She said.
“Oh, how’s it going?” Twilight asked.
“I’m doing great. Who are the new ponies?” She asked.
“Oh these are some new friends they will be with us for awhile.” Twilight answered.
“Oh, my name is Derpy-Hooves.” She said with a smile.
Hak flew up to her and smiled. Chuck walked up to her and hugged her. “Oh my goodness you’re so adorable!” He said.
“Gah, you scared me there, it’s nice to meet you too, and no, my name is Derpy. You silly pony.” She said chuckling.
“My name is Hak and that’s Chuck. Our friends are inside talking to the music ponies.” He said smiling.
“Hey you fly like me.” She said as she flew upside-down.
“Haha cool!” Hak said.
“Awww man, why do I have to be an earth pony?” Chuck asked with a sad look.
“Awww it’s ok sad pony, Pinkie will make you happy with your party later. Sorry everypony, I have to go.” Derpy said as she flew away.
“Bye!” Chuck and Hak said.
Dysmetix and Bass walked up, “Hey guys, sorry about that, we love music.” They said.
Chuck ran up to them and fell in front of them and said, “You guys missed the single most ADORABLE pony that we’ve seen since we have been here.” Chuck said with a happy smile and tears.
“Her name was Derpy Hooves, she was really funny.” Hak said.
“Well ponies, let’s go get you ready for your big party tonight.” Twilight said. They all walked off towards her house so they could get ready for the party. All the while talking about how awesome it is to be here in Equestria with all the awesome ponies they have met.
Back at Twilight’s house, the guys were all getting ready but they realized they were ponies and didn’t wear clothes.
“So, Twilight, how are we supposed to prepare for a party if we don’t wear clothes?” Chuck asked.
Twilight chuckled and answered, “Well you silly pony, we get you clothes for the party. We wear clothes to parties here in Equestria.”
“Well what should we wear?” Bass asked.
“I’m fine going naked.” Hak said.
“Well in the case of a Pinkie Pie Party, nothing that you’d wanna get messy.” Twilight said to them.
“Well, can you teleport stuff for us?” Hak asked.
“How did you know I could teleport things?” Twilight retaliated with a question.
“The Doctor.” They all responded.
“Oh...right.” Twilight said.
“Well to be perfectly honest you’d be best asking Rarity to fix you something as opposed to me teleporting it here.” She continued.
Then someone burst through the door, “Did you say our friends want me to make them some outfits?!” Rarity yelled gleefully.
“If you would please Rarity.” Bass said.
“Let me hear the ideas!” Rarity yelled.
“Well I would like something light and breathy.” Chuck said.
“I would like something loose, but comfortable and nice.” Bass said.
“I’m going to go naked.” Hak said.
“HOLD IT! That just will not do, I feel that you need some sort of clothing.” Rarity exclaimed.
“Fine just make me something nice-ish.” Hak said.
“Alrighty and what would you like my spiky headed friend?” Rarity asked.
“Well I would like a pair of pants, one half green and the other black, then a shirt that is blue with one sleeve.” Dysmetix said.
“My you certainly are the strangest.” Rarity said.
“Be sure to make it sparkly and shiny.” Dysmetix said.
“And now we’re talking. I will have these ready in no time flat!” Rarity said and bolted off.
“I like her, she’s funny.” Hak said while chuckling.
“I’m gonna have to agree with you Hak.” Twilight said with a giggle.
“Twilight, can I ask you to either craft something or teleport it in for me?” Dysmetix asked.
“Sure what is it?” Twilight asked.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear explaining what it was in detail that he wanted.
“I can try to do that, but it might take a while.” She told him and then walked into the back room.
“Well guys now that we’re here, we can finally enjoy it!” Bass said.
“I know right? I thought it was a dream when the Doctor showed up on our door. I’m glad we got to come here.” Chuck said. “I wanna do parkour over everything here!” He continued.
“I want to try out games here if they have any.” Hak said with excitement.
“I really am just looking forward to hanging with Vinyl and the other music pony.” Dysmetix said with a grin.
“Ah yes, Octavia, that was one nice looking piece of plot.” Bass said.
Hak started rolling on the floor laughing.
“Dude! That is so funny.” Chuck said.
“Try to say another one.” Dysmetix said.
“Son of a mare.” Bass said.
Hak laughed louder and harder as Chuck started to join him. “Try another.” Dysmetix said.
“Holy manure!” Bass said.
“Haha, that’s so funny. I completely understand what you’re going for but it doesn’t come out that way.” Dysmetix said as he began to laugh.
“Heh I guess it is pretty mating funny.” Bass said starting to laugh.
“What is so funny out here you guys?” Spike asked walking into the room.
“Oh nothing important Spike. Just something different about this place that we find amusing.” Chuck said.
“Ok guys I’m done. Your stuff should show up in a few minutes Dysmetix.” Twilight said walking into the room.
“Thanks Twilight.” He responded.
“You know I just thought of something.” Hak said.
“What is it?” Chuck asked.
“How is Rarity going to make our outfits without making sure they fit on us?” Hak asked.
“Well honestly, Rarity has a gift for this, she can tell your measurements by looking at you once, and she can fix it in about five seconds if it is messed up at all.” Twilight answered.
“Ah, that magic stuff.” Hak said.
“Yup.” She said.
“Just curious Dysmetix, what did you ask for?” Chuck asked.
“Well that’s a surprise, but just think of it this way, how do I normally thank a large group of people when I’m grateful for something?” He asked with a grin.
“Oh, this will be exciting.” Bass said chuckling.
“What is it?” Twilight asked.
“Well Twilight-” Hak started to say.
“No, don’t spoil it Hak.” Dysmetix interrupted.
“Awww come on guys.” Twilight said.
“Nope we can’t do that, it’s just as much a thank you to you as well as every other pony.” Chuck said.
“Oh fine.” She said with a pouty face.
Hak started laughing and falling to the floor.
“What is wrong with you?” She asked, he only responded with pointing and laughing.
“WHAT!?” She exclaimed.
“Twilight, behind you.” Chuck said giggling. Twilight turned around to see Rainbow Dash making faces behind her.
“RAINBOW DASH!” She yelled as a laser shot from her horn and it being dodged.
“Whoa chill out Twi, I wasn’t making faces at you, just at Hak over there.” Rainbow Dash said. “I came over to check out and see what you guys were going to wear.” She continued.
“Oh, Rarity is making our outfits now.” Bass explained.
“Go figure, she always does that no matter what.” Rainbow said. “Anyway, I was just coming to tell you all that the party will be in the center of Ponyville.”
“Why thank you Rainbow Dash.” Twilight said.
“No problem see you all later.” She responded heading out the door, then shortly after poking her head back in. “Hey where’s spiky?”
“I’m right here.” Spike said.
“No, I mean spiky head, Dysbald or something.” Rainbow said. Everyone looked around noticing he wasn’t there.
“Where did he go?” Chuck asked.
“Guys check this out!” They heard Dysmetix shout. “Back here!”
They all walked back to see a giant box looking thing covered by a blanket.
“What is that?” Hak asked.
“My surprise for Ponyville.” Dysmetix responded grinning with a slight sinister look.
“Oh man! I wanna see.” Rainbow Dash said rushing towards it.
Dysmetix stepped in front of it holding his hoof out and Rainbow Dash ran into it.
“No, it’s a surprise for a reason.” Dysmetix said.
“Hey that hurt, you wanna go at it pal?” Rainbow Dash said getting back up angrily.
“Chill out Rainbow, you will see soon enough.” Dysmetix said patting her head.
“Why I oughta-” Rainbow Dash was interrupted by Twilight dragging her out.
“Rainbow Dash, don’t you have somewhere to be?” She asked.
“Oh snap I totally forgot, I gotta go help Fluttershy! Later!” She yelled as she zipped off.
“Twilight, you have some of the most interesting friends.” Chuck said.
“You’re ones to talk, you’re all interesting characters from another dimension and you’re not even really ponies, but here you are ponies.” Twilight said.
Chuck just shrugged considering he is just as baffled as her, but didn’t really want to think too much into it.
“Speaking of which, how did you all become friends?” Twilight asked them curiously.
“Well, we’re not actually friends, we’re all brothers.” Hak explained while flying upside-down again.
“What?” Twilight asked with a baffled face.
“Ok so not really.” Bass said, then continued explaining, “We are all really close friends and we met a LONG time ago, Hak and I are the only ones who are really blood brothers, but we’ve all been together so long we just started calling each other brothers.”
“Wow that’s some strong friendship.” Twilight said.
“Meh, we really have our differences and often want to kill each other, but we get through it.” Dysmetix said.
“Yup you better believe it.” Chuck said.
“Well I’m glad to have met you all, maybe you guys will call me your sister.” Twilight said with a smile.
“Haha, well considering how nice of a pony you are and have been the most helpful, then I suppose you already are.” Chuck said chuckling.
“EVERYPONY IT’S PARTY TIME!” Said a voice outside the house.
“Hey it’s Pinkie!” Hak said rushing out. They all walked out into the living room and found Pinkie as well as Rarity.
“Alright boys, I have your outfits like you requested.” Rarity said as she floated them in with her magic.
“AWESOME!” They all said in sync. They each rushed over and grabbed their outfits.
“Bass, I made you sort of a tuxedo with nice room. Chuck, I made you nice breathing loose clothes as you asked, they seemed kind of plain though. Hak, I made you this sort of colorful outfit to go with your colorful personality.” Rarity stated and each thanked her accordingly. “Now Dysmetix, I don’t know if this is how you pictured it but I thought I did rather nicely, and it was my favorite outfit to make.” She said handing him his outfit.
“Wow thanks Rarity, this is just right.” He responded. They each got their outfits on and stood in a group looking at one another.
“How awesome is this?” Hak asked.
“Pretty awesome, looks like I can cross having a unicorn make me clothes off my list of things to do.” Chuck said.
They all looked at him and busted out laughing. “Yay, laughter, I love laughter, it’s the best thing ever! Now let’s go party every pony!” Pinkie said as she bounced around the room.
“Twilight, can you help me carry my stuff?” Dysmetix asked.
“No problem, levitation spells are easy.” Twilight said as she levitated his stuff out of the back room.
“Why don’t you just do it silly? You’re a unicorn too you know.” Pinkie explained.
“Well Pinkie, where we’re from, they don’t teach unicorn magic unless you have lots and lots of money.” Hak explained.
“Or teach pegasi how to fly correctly.” Chuck said laughing.
“Ooooh well that’s too bad for you guys, because it makes life so much easier.” Rarity said.
“Maybe Twilight can teach us some.” Bass said.
“Maybe.” She answered. They all exited the house and headed off towards the area for the party that Rainbow Dash specified.
Along the way towards the center of town Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity shared tales of things they did together in the past. Adventures of how they saved Equestria from monsters with the elements of harmony and everything. As they walked along they gathered some other ponies around the town that were on the way and they all talked a bit and laughed about things on the way, mainly Hak's flying capabilities.
When they finally arrived at the center of Ponyville the guys were astonished to see how many ponies were there, they were almost certain it was literally everypony in town.
“HEY! EVERYPONY! THE NEW PONIES ARE HERE!” Pinkie yelled.
Everyone turned and welcomed them all and the guys went around mingling and sharing stories with everyone, all the while trying to alter everything in their stories from their world into pony format. They met all sorts of ponies while there, and ran into some familiar faces here and there. Bass bumped into Octavia, striking up a conversation instantaneously and keeping it going as long as possible with everything he could think of to ask. Chuck and Hak ran into Derpy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. Dysmetix kept off in the distance a little bit away from the big groups of ponies, he didn’t like being in really big crowds. Dysmetix was messing with wires and getting his hidden stuff all set up for the surprise.
“Hey, whatcha doing?” Dysmetix jumped at the voice that startled him and quickly turned around to see Vinyl Scratch chuckling at him. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” She said.
“It’s alright, I was just really focused. And you didn’t scare me.” He responded.
“Right, just like I’m not a DJ.” She said giggling.
“Ok fine you startled me. What’s up though?” He asked.
“Well you were over here alone so I figured I’d come over and see why you weren’t talking to everypony.” She stated.
“Well, I’m not really a crowd pony, I get this weird feeling in crowds and just don’t like being there.” Vinyl chuckled at his statement.
“Wow I wouldn’t have guessed you to be such a scaredy pony.” She said.
“Most people wouldn’t guess that, most people think I’m mean and scary just how I look. I’m nothing like that though, I’m a very caring and thoughtful pony.” He said while looking at the wires and knobs he was messing with.
“What have we got here?” She said trying to sneak a peek.
“Hey!” He exclaimed moving her away. “Oh no you don’t pony, you don’t get to see the surprise before it’s done.”
“Awww come on man, I was just going to take a peek.” She said, he shook his head and then covered everything up.
“You will see it very soon.” He said laughing.
“Oh fine.” She said with a pouty face.
“Time for the surprise.” He said with a sinister look.
He climbed on top of his surprise of which was under a blanket and yelled. “Hey everypony!” Everypony stopped talking and looked over in his direction. “Hey everypony! I’m one of the new ponies here and I want to thank you all for the super party. I also want to thank you all for coming to welcome us to your town. I would like to return the favor by thanking you in my own special way.” He said as he removed the blanket to reveal a huge amplifier and a strange piece of wood with strings.
“Hey look he has a guitar! He’s going to play us a song!” Pinkie yelled.
“Um, Pinkie that doesn’t look like a guitar, it’s too small and weird shaped.” Octavia said.
“No it’s a guitar alright.” Chuck said.
“You remember how he said he’d show you his music? Well you’re about to hear it.” Bass said to her smiling.
Dysmetix grabbed the V shaped guitar and strapped it on and then stomped on the amp and people were amazed as they saw it get bigger. It had eight large speakers on it and it was bigger than three ponies standing on top of each other. “Are you ponies ready?!” He yelled.
“PLAY YOUR SONG!” Pinkie yelled.
Dysmetix struck the strings of the guitar and a sinister, rough, metallic tone came out of the amp. He started playing rapidly and going up and down the neck of the guitar, playing chords, scales, and all sorts of crazy things that no pony had seen. This was very common things in Dysmetix home though, he played things by his favorite artists and some of his own things as well. Many ponies covered their ears, but a few ponies were doing the head bang, namely Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, Hak, Bass, and Chuck. Pinkie hopped around not knowing what to do, but enjoying the music. He played for a little while changing the way the guitar sounded occasionally, sometimes it got softer and the other ponies got into it, before he made it squeal and sound sinister once again. Finally once he was finished he stomped on the amp and it shrunk back down to how big it was before and he hopped off only to be tackled by a combination of Hak, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie, with them all saying, “That was so awesome!”
Even though most didn’t liked it, everyone still kindly walked up and thanked him for thanking them. The time finally came for the party to be over and everyone started to go home. One of the smallest ponies walked up to the group of friends to ask them a serious question.
“Hey guys, my name is Scootaloo. I was curious about something.” She asked.
“Yes you can have his autograph.” Chuck said.
“What? No, that’s not it.” She exclaimed, and then continued, “I was wondering, why don’t you guys have your cutie marks?”
The guys all looked at each other then back at her, “What’s a cutie mark?” Hak questioned.
“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT A CUTIE MARK IS!?” She exclaimed and they all shook their heads. “A cutie mark is something that defines your special ability as well as a very important part of who you are!”
“Thanks Scootaloo, I’ll explain it to them. Things work differently from where they are from.” Twilight said and then shoved Scootaloo off. “I forgot to mention that to you guys.” Twilight said to them.
“It’s ok Twilight, we’re not really worried about it, I’m sure we’ll get ours if we can.” Chuck said.
“Yeah, I’m sure we’ll be fine.” Bass said.
“It’s been a long day we should go back to the house and rest up.” Twilight said.
“Actually, Twilight, I was invited over to go have a slumber party with Pinkie.” Hak said.
“Oh that’s fine.” She said as they waved goodbye to Hak.
“I was invited to hang out at Derpies.” Chuck said.
“Ok have fun.” Bass said laughing.
They waved goodbye to Chuck.
“We are gonna stick with you, we want to learn magic things.” Dysmetix said. “Alright, I’m more than happy to teach you that.” She said smiling as they all walked off towards her house.
Twilight, Bass, and Dysmetix talked about the basics of magic theory and simple things that she could cover without showing them. Bass was very intelligent compared to Dysmetix, but when Dysmetix actually wanted to learn something he was far from being an idiot. They both focused carefully on what Twilight was explaining and how things worked. She would also trail off slightly from the explanation to give them a bit of a break and explain a bit more as to what cutie marks were.
“So how does one get their cutie mark Twilight?” Dysmetix asked with curiosity written all over his face.
“Usually it is by doing something that you love of something that you are really skilled at. For example I got mine when I was entering into a school for gifted unicorns. I heard a loud explosion and my mind went blank and I unleashed a lot of magical power. When I was awoken Princess Celestia was there and she offered for me to be her star pupil, needless to say I was really happy.” She said jumping around just like she would have the day of the incident.
“And?” Bass questioned.
“Oh right. She pointed out my cutie mark to me and I was even more happy.” Twilight said with a big grin.
“Well that is indeed an interesting story.” Dysmetix said chuckling.
“What is it?” She asked.
“Nothing, I was just enjoying the idea of someone like you jumping around like Pinkie Pie.” He said laughing.
“It is a funny thought.” Bass agreed chuckling.
“Haha, you guys are real funny.” She said rolling her eyes holding back the action of punching them.
They finally arrived at her house and when they arrived they were greeted by an owl.
“Oh hey Owlicious.” Twilight said.
“Who?” Owlicious responded tilting his head..
“What’s with the owl?” Dysmetix asked with a bit of a baffled face.
“He’s my night time assistant.” Twilight said. “Hey, can you go get me my basic magic books Owlicious?”
Owlicious flew into the vast library living room that Twilight had.
“I didn’t notice it before, but you have a LOT of books.” Bass said wide eyed and looking around the room.
“Mhmm.” Dysmetix said nodding in agreement.
“What can I say? I love books and studying.” Twilight responded giggling.
“Duly noted.” Bass said looking at the books that surrounded him.
Owlicious dropped down a stack of books and sat on top of it. “Who?” He stated.
“Well he got the books.” Twilight said patting the stack..
“Awww man, you mean we have to read?” Dysmetix said with dismay and depression all over his face.
“What did you expect?” Bass asked shrugging his pony shoulders..
“Look at a magic scroll and automatically know a spell.” Dysmetix stated cringing his body away from Bass as though he was going to be hit.
“Where would you get such an idea?” Twilight asked tilting her head slightly in confusion.
“Video games.” They both responded.
“What?” She asked even more confused than before..
“That’s right, different world thing.” Dysmetix said rubbing his head with his hoof.
“Video games were something in our world, it was a fantasy world, and there were many different ones. You got to do a variety of things, but in a lot of games, in order to learn a spell you’d look at a magic scroll and know the spell.” Bass said all the while adjusting the imaginary glasses on his face as though he were a professor.
“Wow, your world had absolutely no grasp upon how the basis of magic works at all did they?” Twilight asked as she face hoofed.
“Well according to your explanation...” Dysmetix started slowly raising his hoof as though he had an idea.
“No they did not, not in the slightest.” Bass finished.
“Well let’s start with the basics of basics, Levitation.” Twilight said as she grabbed a small book from the stack. Even though it was a small book, it was still bigger than anything Dysmetix had read.
She began explaining to them how it worked and reading off the best way to work with it. Dysmetix, being the idiot that he is, started off trying to move things right after hearing it. He focused really hard and ended up getting light headed from focusing so hard. Twilight and Bass laughed at his attempt. Twilight further explained it and explained how she learned to do it by turning pages in a book. Bass sat there for a little while attempting it, before finally turning a page. Dysmetix re-attempted moving an object in the room, he ended up breaking a couple vases... or rather a lot of vases.
“I’d appreciate it if you did something that was...well...less involved with breaking things in my house.” Twilight said with a sigh.
“No I can get it.” Dysmetix said before trying again and breaking another vase.
“Dude, just stop there.” Bass said with his head in a book.
“Oh fine.” Dysmetix said as he plopped down on the floor and pouted.
“Maybe we should just rest and continue tomorrow.” Twilight said as she yawned and covered her mouth with her hoof.
“You can go to bed we’ll stay up studying and practicing.” Bass said looking up from his book.
“Yeah I wanna get this down before I sleep.” Dysmetix said with a frustrated look on his face.
“Alright well I will see you guys in the morning.” She said as she walked back to her bed. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight Twilight.” They each said.
They stuck their heads in the books reading, studying, and practicing. Of course Bass progressed faster than Dysmetix, but simply because Dysmetix went from something easy, to something really hard.
“Dude, why are you trying to teleport things?” Bass asked looking over at his page.
“Well I figured, what if the Doctor never comes back, we’ll need a way to get back. So if I learn teleporting now and practice with it so that way I can one day take us back home if it’s necessary.” Dysmetix responded staring at the page with intense focus.
“Wow, that is actually kind of smart. Let me help you with it and then we might actually be able to work this out.” Bass said as he crammed his head in and helped read and work on it.
As the night went on they continued to study and practice. The sun finally rose into the sky and the boys watched as it raised enjoying the moment, just like in their world.
“Hey, bro, do you think we should tell Twilight the truth? You know about a lot of the stuff in our world?” Dysmetix asked with his hooves behind his head while he was leaning against the wall.
“I don’t think we really should. I mean don’t you think it’d be strange telling her that we’ve seen her world before, only not in person, but on a screen?” Bass responded with a question.
“You got a point.” Dysmetix said sitting up right.
“Who has a point about what?” Spike asked as he poked Dysmetix.
Dysmetix jumped on Bass and Bass just threw him off.
“Spike, how much did you hear?” Bass questioned looking at him.
“Not really anything except for the last bit.” Spike said holding his finger to his mouth as though he were in thought.
“Ok Spike, but what are you doing up so early?” Dysmetix asked as he helped himself up.
“Well, I’m always up this early to make breakfast, and normally Twilight’s already up too, but she is usually still a little sluggish.” Spike stated smiling.
The guys looked at each other thinking for a second.
“Spike, I have a question for you.” Bass stated leaning over to him.
“Go right ahead I guess, I don’t know if I can help.” Spike said.
“Do you think it is possible for other dimensions to be connected at all?” Bass asked with a serious face.
“Hmmm, that would be more of a Twilight question, but if you guys really are from another world or dimension in any way, then there would have to be is my best guess.” Spike answered. “Why?” He asked putting his hands behind his head.
“Oh just us thinking. We’re also really tired, we’ve been up all night working. Think you could make us breakfast too?” Dysmetix asked making a big kind face.
“Sure, if you guys like hay.” Spike said with a grin.
“Sure, I’ll try it.” Dysmetix said hesitantly.
Spike walked off to go to the kitchen and start making breakfast. The boys sat there for a bit watching the sunrise continue, before going back in and reading the books of which they were working hard on.
Time passed and Twilight finally woke up and walked in to find them still studying. “Wow, have you guys been up all night working?” She asked with a drowsy face.
“Yeah we have.” Bass answered not looking up from his book.
“Have you made any progress?” Twilight asked still standing in the doorway of her bedroom.
Bass and Dysmetix looked at each other, nodded and then grinned. They turned to look at her and their horns started glowing and she slowly lifted off the ground and floated over to them and gently set her down.
“That answer your question?” Dysmetix asked slightly chuckling with a hint of sinister attitude.
“Yes it does. You guys have made a lot of improvement over night. What are you working on now?” Twilight asked leaning over and looking at their books. She was astonished to find them both working on teleportation, though Dysmetix was struggling with it, Bass was doing a ton of mathematics and science and magic theory based on what Twilight told him and what he read up on. “Wow.” She said as her jaw dropped and her eyes widened..
“Dysmetix will only learn what interests him. That would be Levitation, Lasers, and Teleporting.” Bass said as he was writing.
“Bass will only learn something that he can do the studying for, so pretty much everything in the book.” Dysmetix said flipping through a page while leaning on his hoof.
“How did you get this far?!” Twilight exclaimed with confusion.
“Well, we both are very fast learners at anything we are interested in and as long as we have the determination and do the practice, we learn really really fast. However we are still not that close on cracking the teleporting.” Dysmetix said with a miffed face at the fact of how hard they worked, but made hardly any progress.
“That’s ok it took me a long time to learn how to do it, and then even longer actually doing it.” Twilight said chuckling.
“Well today is a new day, what are we going to do?” Bass asked writing down notes and looking back to his book.
“I was going to go bug one of the ponies we met yesterday.” Dysmetix said laying down.
“If you’re going to bug Vinyl I’ll come with you, I heard she and Octavia live together.” Bass said looking up from his book to talk.
“You have a lot of interest in Octavia, Bass.” Twilight said giggling.
“Yeah, and?” Bass responded with a slight redness to his face, but hiding it by pushing his face back in the book.
“I just find it cute about your crush on her.” Twilight said giggling again.
Dysmetix started rolling on the floor laughing. “Oh my goodness bro, I knew you were transparent to me, but honestly, somepony who just met you yesterday can figure that out.”
“Oh shut up. It’s no big deal, it’s a completely normal thing for people to like each other, especially musicians.” Bass said closing his book and trying to keep his composure.
“Yeah yeah, sure bro. If that’s what you say.” Dysmetix said as he slowly stopped laughing and continued laying there.
“Be careful about laying on the floor.” Twilight said.
“Why?” He asked tilting his head.
“You know how you get when you stay up all night.” Bass said.
“I don’t know what you’re ta-” Dysmetix was quickly interrupted by him falling asleep.
“Typical.” Bass said with a light chuckle.
“Bass, I have something to ask you.” Twilight said.
“Ok, go ahead.” He said as he leaned back.
“How come none of you really were shocked by much of anything? I mean I know Dysmetix and the rest of you screamed at the sight of yourselves and me.” She said as she kind walked around in thought before continuing, “But other than that, there was no real major reaction and surprise to anything, you guys kind of acted like you see stuff like this every day. What is up with that?” Twilight questioned.
“Well, Twilight, honestly, it is really complicated and it would be best if all of us were here to tell you.” Bass responded in a plain manner.
“I suppose that’s fair.” Twilight said looking a little bit miffed.
“I’m going to take a nap for a bit and will be up later.” Bass said yawning.
“Alright, have a nice nap.” Twilight said and went back to her study room.
Bass curled up on the floor in thought and slowly drifted to sleep while thinking of the best way he could explain things to Twilight why they didn’t react, but also explain to his friends what was really going on with them.
