//-------------------------------------------------------// Pony Crossing -by NJH12- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Pony Crossing: prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Pony Crossing: prologue -prologue - Somewhere hidden in the center of these three places; is a mysterious hut, where train tracks go through town and the Everfree Forest meet. There is a village of pure humans none of them ventured out too far from home for the eyes of ponies and pony-humans were watching in secret. Pure humans have been hidden from ponies, and Pony-human eyes even Discord the master of chaos does not know the exact location of the real human Village. The village in question was almost like earth life in 2012ish by purely human standards of the time, by ponies standards of the time. Not so much the same frame of reference, 1,000,000 A.L.B.(After Luna's Banishment {today's date by ponies times.}) except for a couple of things; one, instead of electricity pure humans harnessed 'magic' and is used in everything that they use from ponyless carriages( our cars re-dubbed as ‘the magic guzzlers’) to Magical Friendship Reactors({M.F.R.}nuclear reactors). Two they are more planet-friendly with Disputes decided by Thumb Wars. Three they have even hidden from 4DW-breakers(fourth-dimensional wall-breakers), Alicorns, the Equestrian Friendship Magic Burro Poni-corporation(or EFMBP,{pretty much Pony versions of FBI and all Secret Services combined into one}) and from chaotic magical scans. The pure humans made sure that only pure humans could find it. Four, pure humans at age ten are old enough to decide to contribute to the village forever or to explore the Everfree forest never to visit home again. Five, the last seen pure human by ponies and pony-humans eyes was at least since one of the three true ponies Princess Celestia banished the third true pony Nightmare Moon who was also the second true Pony Princess Luna at some time ago. It would have been that way for 10 million more years. But you, yourself at ten years old told the village to explore the Everfree forest for two things: one, you wanted to explore the nearby pony-humans village which (by some crazy accounts) accepts everyone as they are. You wonder if this is true for pure humans who were missing from way back when, and two you wanted to check out the princess sisters' old castle. It has been a dream of yours to be a ruler of something(no matter how small the ruling is) but not the ‘jerky’ kind where ‘pure humans are the Apex Predator and everything must bow to your commands’ kind of ruler, but the kind where ‘everything is at peace with the world and almost nothing can ruin this, but it does anyways’ kind of ruler sort of like Celly's. That is your nickname for Celestia because, for the 10-year life of yours, you could not pronounce the name without butchering so badly that anything would try to lock you up on the spot, but when it came to other names besides her… You were like a golden ratio is now but better. As you were painted like a dragon you tested it out on the hut, your home village with great results. Author's Note Hello, sentient beings. It is I, NJH12. 2/20/2018 update: reworded it hopefully it is more detailed. 2/23/2018 update: more wording and exposition, fix few spelling errors that I could find. And hopefully don't need to update this chapter again. Fix more errors again. 2/28/2018 update: more fixes and some spelling and grammar errors but probably are not all are gone. //-------------------------------------------------------// Day/night one //-------------------------------------------------------// Day/night one The Everfree train station, is where you meet Twilight Sparkle and Spike, and the true real test begins. "Look Twilight, a dragon-like me," Spike said. "Hi I am Twilight Sparkle, and this is Spike. What is your name?" It's, Enter Here," you say before a loud whistling sound goes over your last two words. "We have arrived in Ponyville and to remind you that this is the last stop for today until the summer solstice has finished." Conductor said. "I guess this is our stop." Twilight Sparkle said. You immediately left the train first, maybe in hindsight, you should have let Twilight Sparkle go first. "Is that them? Welcome to Ponyville, mayor!" Ponyville citizens said. You could not believe it, and you are now the new mayor of Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle could not believe it either she tried to get you to respond, but a pink pony said "Uh." and left you. You first followed Twilight Sparkle and Spike and did not talk on the way to the apple farm you weren't listening, and then a rain cloud rained on your parade, revealing your true self. Twilight Sparkle was the first to talk, "You are a Pure human, I thought they were myths, and you're real. Fess up." Everypony in Ponyville came closer to you waiting to respond "Uh... Look a princess behind you." you said. "Yeah, right." most Ponyville citizens said. "Okay, your problem. Hi, Princess Celly" you said. Everypony just lost its colors, when they look behind them. It was indeed princess Celestia all the ponies, and pony-humans bowed. You could not bow properly, so you did do a two-finger (first two fingers after the thumb) salute. "Ponyville, this Pure human is your mayor now, or at least until the summer solstice. Treat them with the same rights as yourself ponies, but if I get any complaints there will be consequences," said Celestia as she teleported back to Canterlot. Twilight questioned, "Why did you lie?" You told her that, "I didn't want to lie, but had to because I had to hide from ponies eyes." While Twilight Sparkle left with Spike for a checklist for the summer solstice, you talked to the temporary assistant mayor, Isabella who was the only diamond dog around town. A Shih Tzu diamond dog, if you really want to be specific about the diamond dog breed. But anyways, you followed her to the town hall where you heard "Let me at least fix your mane!" passing by a boutique. You thought nothing of it. You and Isabella passed some more buildings one that looks editable to eat but probably gives you many calories and a trip to a doctor most likely. Then passing two more buildings, you heard "A baby Dragon!" Isabella was holding her ears at that instant. Finally, you reach the town hall. As you enter the temporary assistant mayor, Isabella starts to talk. "Mayor this town hall will be your base of operations also forgot to mention that I am on staff here. I am also your secretary and here to help you in any way since you are here so that I can stop being a temporary assistant mayor thanks to you. Anyways. If I might say you are a little younger than expected. I mean the last mayor was set in her ways. It is nice that a new alpha is taking the mantle. Of course, that means that we need to complete resident registration here at Ponyville to be the official mayor. So you name, please. Oh, it is your name, rummer has it that the last being who held that name was evil, so evil that they made all villains besides them combined to look like a bunch of pups. How about I call you PH for Pure Human? Like I was saying PH, to register you need a home here, so it is easier to come into Ponyville. Just talk to Tom Nook the Tanuki at Fluttershy's home. I forgot again here is the map of Ponyville." So you did just that, and Tom told you "You can place a home anywhere as long as it is not occupied by a major Street intersection or an owned building. I will be whipping up a contract after the summer solstice ends." What is up with the summer solstice talk, you keep on hearing it from most of the beings you talked to? Was it that special? You push these thoughts out of your head for now. You went back to Isabella talked about what is next and learned that this summer solstice(which by the way was in a few hours) Celestia was going to be in Ponyville to raise the sun. You went to the library to find a party. Were libraries supposed to be quiet? You head upstairs to find Twilight and Spike talking about 'an old mare tale.' when you come into the room. "sorry about that, say I heard that your name is the same as theirs the evil one from way back when. In the story, they look like an older you, freaky if you ask me, I'm sure it is a coincidence like hopefully Nightmare Moon and Trek. Come on PH it is about 2 hours left until the summer solstice. Let us go to the town hall to see where Princess Celestia is, early." You went with her, but by the time you both got there it 12 minutes left and everyone was there. "now presenting, Princess Celestia?" Isabella asked. "She's gone!" Fluttershy said as purple smoke rose to a balcony to reveal a midnight blue Alicorn. "Am I not Royal enough, for you?" she questioned then continued "Do you even know who I am?" "You used to be Princess Luna the ruler of the night, but are now known as Nightmare Moon, because of jealousy of your sister," you said. All eyes were on your glares, and confusion was on their faces. "The Pure Human is right, and to make sure you try anything... I will take you, pure Human." Nightmare Moon said. "Not likely!" Twilight Sparkle said. *poofs to you* *grabs you* *poofs back with you. "This night will last forever!" Nightmare Moon said. -Night one- Twilight Sparkle ran with you in tow, into the library looking for Elements of Harmony, five other mares came into the library when "Hey you, PH how do you know Nightmare Moon huh? Are you a spy?" Rainbow Dash asked you. But Pinkie Pie interjected with, "Found it! It was under E!" The conversation with the six mares was boring you until you heard, "No way sugar cube, we're going with you in that forest. Ain't that right PH?" "Uh... Sure?" you questioned, not caring. You just wanted this night to be over and sleep in an old castle, but unfortunately, Nightmare Moon has messed up the night cycle, so you were not sure if it was indeed night or not. The six mares and you went (after five trials worth of it) to the old Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's castle. Which happens to be your new home, even freakier those floating rock spheres were the Elements of Harmony you jumped in with Twilight Sparkle after a tripping sender spell{a spell trigger that sends nearby objects to a set destenation} activated(that you recognized). After you regain your senses the fight is over the same six mares are now the elements of harmony and the 'Nightmare Moon' was indeed Princess Luna(was a surprise for the six mares you met today, but not you) You were not listening again until Celestia faked a cough to get your attention. "I do believe an answer is needed, way back according to very vague sources, Pure Humans were alive way before she banished Luna. Also the same sources tell of an older-looking you, PH back when my 'young' days pony-humans were the thing. Of course, afterward, pure humans hid not even Discord don't know the exact location of the pure humans I hope it stays that way for all our sakes. Also, I am sorry to intrude on your house like this. As long as PH don't tell Where's the pure human's location, then they can stay." "Wait their house is this castle? Well PH, please try to keep this place's history and books intact. I want to come over later to research more." Twilight Sparkle said as the night and day cycle fixed itself, you passed out, the last few hours of the night were asleep waiting for the next day. Author's Note 2/23/2018 update: Seperated chapter from one to two. //-------------------------------------------------------// Day 5-9ght //-------------------------------------------------------// Day 5-9ght Day two of being Mayor The next day PH did receive a Guinness Equestrian record for being the first youngest pure human mayor. Then you did some odd jobs around Ponyville from helping an old Pony cross the street to selling apples. But it was after you went to Fluttershy's home and talked to Mr. Nook about your payment for the castle it was way too much, so much that it might take you more than four seasons worth of mayor work. So that is when you decided to help out around town. You were going back to your office when suddenly a swarming herd of pony-humans was around the library for some gala was that a special ball? You wonder. But you resolved it by tearing up the two gala tickets into a total of six pieces and handing each Element of Harmony one piece each and told them that if they can't decide who goes and who stays then everybody gets a piece. That gives Twilight Sparkle an idea to send the pieces back to Celestia which she returned six no wait, now seven new tickets to the special Gala. Day 3 of being mayor Another weird day PH put new stuff in the museum. Secretly helped Applejack with apple harvest and talked to Isabella about new complaints. Just one was interesting to say the least, there are at least six mares per stallion in this town and there needs to be more stallions, like maybe two mares per one stallion give or take for counting errors. but that was it. Day 4 of being mayor On a unique day, Gilda the Griffin-human caused trouble to residents here. I was about to talk to her, but she left without warning. Griffins are very cool to you. but what was cooler than Griffins were ice dragons in good cases you would be a popsicle for two centuries before thawing. In worst cases you would be cryogenically preserved in liquid nitrogen and only be revived in the next millennium or so (warning: resolute may vary than described here.. You also paid off roughly about four point five percent of your loan for Tom Nook, restored twelve percent of your castle to original before the princess left. You have come to your pinkie pie party and met the residential pure human specialist Lyra Heartstrings, talking to Lyra felt like a scientist wanting to dissect me for research. Day 5 of being mayor You went to a magic show by 'the great and Powerful Trixie' she was uninteresting because not she was terrible at it, but because she was a unihuman which was not great if Trixie were earthuman it would have been better. She got booted out of the village with your help. Day 6 of being mayor With the help of elements of harmony, you got a fire Dragon to leave the village. Everything else was boring that day, but you were brave enough to put on a fake smile. Day 7 of being mayor PH got stuck in the mayor's office in a massive storm with Isabella, a passing zebra-human, Fluttershy, and Lyra Heartstrings. That any game of Go Hay(fish) afterward would not be as memorable as this day, and no it was not that type of game. (not yet anyway) Day 8 of being mayor You remembered that zebra-human from last night well she is living in the Hut that was a third of the triangulation coordinates of finding the exact location of the pure humans. Day 9 of being mayor There was an invasive species in Ponyville today good news they stopped with the help of elements of harmony. With totals from last time you paid your loan from Tom Nook was now percent done. Yeah, only 90 percent left to go. Author's Note For story sake, Zebra-humans, unihumans and earthumans are a sub-species of Pony-humans in general sense but are all categorized as the Pony-humans species. //-------------------------------------------------------// Day ten or was it eleven?... //-------------------------------------------------------// Day ten or was it eleven?... Was it Day 10 or was it 11 of being mayor PH couldn't tell in the morning, but after talking to the Winter wrap-up crew and a few hours later Twilight Sparkle came in and asked what to do."Hey, maybe you help me, and I do the same. Here is my problem. I like the moon, I do, but with Nightmare Moon *ahem* 'shenanigans' my body just can't adjust to this schedule of un-normally non-chaotic weather here than it was back home, but that is what made it so cool, some chaos was good to a point but with pony-humans weather. I sometimes just lay in bed waiting for some severe weather to sleep, I don't know what to do." "well I could make a request from Celestia to rain/snow at the castle and maybe do the same in town, but that is probably the best I can do for you." Twilight Sparkle said comforting me. "Thanks, Twilight, hey I know, this is like your first 'winter wrap up' without magic right? well, how would like to be the official organizer for each team, by the way, you do checklist is un-natural and could be of use because of that quark." PH said. "Thanks, mayor, I think... Wait what are those things in that Journal?" Twilight asked. Then a faint ringing ring was heard by only the Pure-humans ears. {1}"Well some side projects and blueprints of said projects I am doing when I get restless. For this one is supposed to reach long distances by talking you take poni one and call poni two but one could say here and the other one be in the way at canterlot and can do more things than somewhat eliminate mail, but Pure-humans have already invented it, but this particular model of it should keyword should work with any sentient beings and not just with only pure-humans this is the prototype so far, but been hard. without some type of massive magic scores It will just be an expensive paperweight. Expected time of finish end of three seasons." PH said with Science jargon that was way above the expected age of 10. "uh, what? How could anypony know that type of magicology science at your age? " Twilight questioned. "mostly my photography memory and other stuff that helps. Also, overstudy things. " PH said. {/1} "I just am going,.. See you soon." Twilight slipped out Isabella asked PH "Uh... Are You OK mayor...(the faint ringing stopped.) You were a worse Know at Ms. Sparkle than Ms. Sparkle herself" "oh my head, what was that ringing, Isabella? Hey, what did I do to Twilight? " "well... Just listen to this..."Isabella said as she replayed back ( reread this->{1}{/1}) the conversation." "That's what I said to Twilight? Because that was not me back there or if it was me then someone replaced me with a perfect copy of me at that time. I have to say sorry! Isabella, take care of the town's problems for me while I will return soon." PH said as himself was apologized and explained to Twilight the situation. "hm, all I could think of was that you might have been In controlled by somepony, but who.?" Twilight sparkle ponder it -At nearby shadowy unused street corner elsewhere...- "WHO INDEED? TWILIGHT SPARKLE. WHO INDEED?" the mysterious somebody who was familiar and yet not familiar said before disappearing from all prying eyes. //-------------------------------------------------------// Pony crossing: filler //-------------------------------------------------------// Pony crossing: filler Last night... Tonight PH was watching a Pony Vision box(tv) before going back to bed... *click* "My name is Pinkie Pie, this is my partner Discord, and that is a boring sandwich, but back Discord and me, we work for an organization run by fourth wall-breaking beings. we solve the case of 'bland', 'boring', , and especially 'normal' cases and make them odd again. Who do we work for Normal Squad? Pinkie Pie sang... *click* " in a world where hide and seek are done to the extreme one Pony is going to find out that some games are not that fun. Pinkie Pie in 'Where's the party, Waldo?'!" a dramatic announcing stallion said with a deep voice. *click* "go go Power ponies..." *click* "coming soon to a store near you... It's undertail. A final game sweeping the nation." *click* "well that was disappointing," PH said then went to bed. Author's Note Two things: one, this is short for a reason I wanted to give you something today and thus this was made and two, The underline section was two one-shots I had but ultimately it failed If you want to do either one just on me.
