My Little Pony From One World To Another And Back! by NickClash BCommander

The next day in Ponyville and after a funeral at the local funeral home to remember and pay respects to all the unfortunate and innocent Ponyville citizens and Royal Guards that had lost their lives to the (former) deadly and bloodthirsty Timber Wolf pack, the Elements Of Harmony and the group of 8 humans were now sitting down at a couple couches and tables as they all were silent as they contemplated everything that had just happened to them recently, well mostly everyone that is. Fluttershy was crying quietly to herself and Tony being Tony, didn't seem to give a damn about any of the ponies who had died or about how the others and the other ponies were taking it as he was smoking yet another cigarette.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and the remaining Royal Guards weren't with them as shortly after the funeral had ended, the Princesses and the Royal Guards had to return to Canterlot to deal with some important matters as well as breaking the tragic news of what had transpired last night in Ponyville to Twilight's brother, Shining Armor, and Shining's wife, Princess Cadence, which they weren't looking forward to doing one bit. Next to the group of 8 humans, the Princesses had reacted to the brutal Timber Wolf pack slaughter on Ponyville easier than every other pony, but that didn't mean that they weren't upset that it had happened in the first place. In fact, the Princesses along with Twilight and Rarity, had all felt terrible that even with their combined magic, they still couldn't defeat the Timber Wolves for good!

After awhile, though, everyone and everypony decided that it was time to move on and that they needed to take their minds off what had happened last night and focus on what they were gonna do now. Twilight was the first to speak and after reassuring everyone and everypony that everything would be alright and reminding them that they had managed to stop the Timber Wolves and save the rest of Ponyille, she told everyone that all the ponies who had perished last night could rest in peace and that they would always have a special place in the hearts of all the ponies of Ponyville.

Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Fluttershy had taken this the hardest as some of those ponies that died had been good, close friends to them for years and their families. For Rarity, she had lost a kind, Unicorn Pony mare friend called, 'Paradise Oasis', who had helped inspire her to pursue her dreams of being a fashion designer pony! For Pinkie Pie and the Cake Family, they had lost a funny and very good-natured Earth Pony stallion called, 'Chuckles', who had taught Pinkie Pie the importance of keeping promises, which in turn, had caused Pinkie to vow to never break her word to another pony, especially if it was one of her trademark and well-known 'Pinkie Promises' that she made! And for Applejack and the Apple Family, they had lost an honest and helpful, Unicorn Pony stallion called, 'Knuckles', who had done so much for them like helping them out with 'Apple Bucking Season', helping Applejack's brother, 'Big Mac', plant crops and occasionally looking after and taking good care of Applejack's little sister, 'Applebloom' while Applejack, Granny Smith, Big Mac and the rest of the Apple Family were out. Over time, Knuckles had gotten so close to the Apple Family and vice versa, that Knuckles had even practically been considered a part of Applejack's family, too!

And as for Fluttershy, she had been crying her eyes out for hours as she was the most sensitive of the ponies and was easy to scare or upset. As such, she had a hard time facing and dealing with sensitive and negative topics like murder, mutilation, disembowelment and death and just thinking about those kind of things was enough to turn her into a emotional wreck!

But thanks to Twilight's repeated reassurances that things were gonna be okay now and reminding them that they still had their families and each other, everyone and everypony finally let go of their losses and all the emotional pain that they were feeling as they knew that dwelling on the past would not help them and that they had other things right now to think about instead. Even Fluttershy had finally stopped crying and calmed down when Rarity reminded her of her pet bunny, 'Angel', back at her cottage and that he and all the other animals that she looked after and cared for wouldn't want her to be upset and that she couldn't keep taking care of them properly if she kept letting her emotions get to her.

Fluttershy dried her tears and slowly calmed herself down as she sighed and spoke, "You're right, Rarity! Crying and being upset won't help me and anypony else feel any better. We stopped the Timber Wolves and saved the rest of Ponyville and that's what really matters!"

Rarity patted Fluttershy on her back with her left front hoof to help comfort her as she replied, "Time heals all wounds, darling! Everypony's safe again now and we can once again return to our normal, happy and peaceful lives!"

"Well...uh...Almost normal lives, sugarcube!" Applejack said as she got Rarity's attention and she pointed towards the party of 8 humans to remind her and the rest of the Element Of Harmony of their presence. "Ever since these 8 weird creatures-uh, I mean humans showed up, things have been different around here!"

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about them," Rarity admitted.

John, Gary, Michael, Ned, Alice, Claire and Eddie were surprised that the ponies had forgotten about them until just now, but they all stayed silent. Tony, on the other hand, took Applejack and Rarity's comments about him and the other 7 humans with him as an insult, which in turn, caused Tony to angrily yell, "Well, sorry to intrude on your little Happy Land, where it's all smiles and rainbows all the time! Personally, all you fucking horses and your silly-willy personalities and all your fur that comes in different colors like a box of crayons makes me sick to my stomach!"

Applejack, Rarity, the rest of the Mane 6 and the other 7 humans all gasped after hearing Tony speak to Applejack and Rarity with such foul and rude language and disrespect. Rarity then looked at Tony with an angry expression on her face and asked, "Okay, bud! Did you just use profanity and call us stupid horses?"

"Oh, here's a tip! I so fucking just did!" Tony replied rudely.

This time, only Applejack, Rarity and the rest of the Mane 6 gasped as they all began to find Tony's rude behavior and language very unacceptable. "Well, how dare you speak like that in front of a lady! Someone should wash that filthy mouth of yours out with soap for talking like that! Don't you have any manners!"

"I don't give a shit about what I say to anyone!" Tony told Rarity. "And by the way 'Miss Fancy Pants', I think your dumb!"

Rarity didn't take Tony's response very well and she was just about to give a piece of her mind, but Applejack beat her to it. "Now, don't ya talk like that to Rarity, buster! How would ya feel if somepony started insulting you and called you stupid, huh?" Applejack scolded Tony. "You better apologize to her or I'll-"

"Oh, shut the hell up, 'Hay breath'!" Tony shouted at Applejack before he smiled and asked. "Hey, aren't you lost, 'Bullseye'? This is the 21st century, not the Old West."

By this point, Applejack was fuming with rage and she was losing her patience with Tony's incredibly impolite and disrespectful behavior fast! It soon became obvious that if no one else did anything soon, then Applejack and Tony were gonna beat the snot out of each other!

But before that could happen, Tony then noticed that the cigarette that he had been smoking this whole time had been all used up (which it had already been 5 minutes ago) and now it was time for him to pull out and light another one. Tony then took his eyes off Applejack, Rarity and the other ponies as he opened his backpack and pulled out another cigarette from one of the couple cigarette boxes that was inside his backpack.

This caused Applejack, Rarity and the other ponies to become a bit confused as they saw him pull out the new cigarette from the cigarette box. In Equestria, there was no such thing as smoking and nopony knew what a cigarette was either so none of the ponies knew what exactly Tony was doing.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Twilight asked.

"What does it look like? I'm getting ready to smoke again. Does that answer your question?" Tony answered. "You sound like you've never even heard of smoke before!"

"Oh, we've heard of it and we know what smoke is, but the question is, how are you gonna make smoke?" Twilight asked again.

"Do you have fire breath or any fire powers?" Pinkie Pie spoke excitedly. "Because that be really, really, really cool!"

"No, I don't!" Tony replied, starting to get annoyed with the questions that the ponies were asking him.

Before any of the ponies could ask him anymore questions, Tony cut them all off and announced, "If it will make all of you shut up, I'll be more than happy to show you how I'm gonna do it! So go ahead and watch and be amazed!"

Suddenly, Tony pulled out his lighter as he placed the cigarette into his mouth and lit the end of the cigarette on fire as he began to smoke the burning cigarette right in front of the shocked and very perplexed ponies! "Ta da!" Tony spoke.

For the next 20 seconds, the Mane 6 just stared at Tony in confusion and surprise as they saw smoke coming from the lit end of the cigarette in Tony's mouth, but not directly from his mouth or any other part of his body. Instead, Tony had used some strange device (that we all know is a lighter) that could create fire to light part of his cigarette (that the ponies also didn't know what it is) on fire and now there was smoke coming from it!

"What the buck just happened!?" Rainbow Dash demanded in shock and amazement.

"Rainbow Dash! Watch your language, please! We don't need you using bad words, too, right now!"

"Oops! Sorry!" Rainbow Dash apologized.

"That's so cool!" Pinkie cried out in excitement as she began to dance around in place.

"Neat! It looks like I'm not the only one around here who can create fire now anymore!" everyone and everypony heard a familiar voice as they all turned to see Twilight's personal dragon assistant, Spike, standing next to a bookcase, staring at Tony with slight interest.

"Spike, how long have you been standing there?" Twilight asked him.

"I've been here all day, cleaning the library and arranging all the books in order from smallest to largest. You told me to do this other day, remember?" Spike replied. "You didn't forget that I was even here again, did you?"

Twilight knew that there was no point in lying to Spike that she had indeed forgotten about him along with all her friends, especially with Applejack around, who was literally a living lie detector and would just point out any attempts she made to lie to Spike. Like her friends, and the 8 humans, Twilight was having a hard time just trying to figure out how she and everypony else hadn't noticed him before, but Twilight just guessed that they had all been so busy comtemplating everything that had happened to them and Ponyville lately and focusing on and scolding Tony for his unacceptable behavior that they just had seen him or anything else around them.

In the end, Twilight decided to change the subject and dodged Spike's question altogether. "Well...uh...Thanks for being here, Spike. You're help is much appreciated! Now, go upstairs and get some sleep or something so that we can all discuss some important things in private."

"But I'm not tired and it's only 1:32PM in the afternoon. It's too early for bed, Twilight," Spike reminded Twilight. "I may like to take some short naps on weekends sometimes, but even I don't sleep that much!"

"Just go upstairs, Spike! We have things to do and-" Twilight ordered Spike, but was cutoff.

Eddie had walked over to Spike and he was staring at him like an exotic animal in a zoo. "Sweet! You must be the dragon that I've heard about! I've always wanted to see a real dragon! This is so awesome!"

"Why is that? Don't you have dragons back where you're from?" Spike asked Eddie.

"I wish!" Eddie replied. "Until now, I've only seen them on tv and in books, movies and art."

"I'm just a dragon, though. There's nothing too special about me," Spike said. "Even though I'm a little dragon, I've met plenty of ponies who fear me just because of what I am. I'm surprised that you haven't said one negative thing yet about me or my race! Most ponies don't wanna have anything to do with dragons, much less be friends with one unless it's ponies like Twilight, her friends, Zecora and the princesses of Equestria themselves!"

"Well, not me! Dragons are amazing and I think you're awesome!" Eddie told Spike.

Spike was quite taken aback with Eddie's amazement, huge interest and positive attitude about him. Ever since he had been born, Spike had never met anypony like Eddie who thought so greatly about him and the rest of the dragon race! This was something that Spike wasn't used to and Spike was starting to enjoy it!

"Well, thanks, uh...uh...What's your name?" Spike asked Eddie.

"My name's Eddie!" Eddie introduced himself before pointing to his older brother and the other 6 humans and introducing them as well. "That's my older brother, Gary! That's John. That's Michael. That's Ned. That's Alice. That's Claire. And that last guy is Tony, but he's a real jerkface, so I would stay away from him if I were you!"

"Hey! I didn't ask for your opinion, 'Little Bit'!" Tony yelled back at Eddie.

"I hate to interrupt, but we have things to do and as excited as you are, Eddie, to have finally met a real dragon, we've already wasted enough time as it is!" John reminded Eddie. "We still need to figure out how we're gonna get home!"

"Oh, man!" Eddie whined. "But I just met him! I wanna talk him more and find out everything there is about dragons!"

"I'm sorry, Eddie, but john's right! We really need to-" Gary told his little brother, but was cutoff.

"If Eddie and Spike are really getting along with each other so well, we should just let them do their own thing while the rest of us figure out what are next course of action will be!" Fluttershy suggested. "Spike's about to go upstairs so why not have Eddie go up there with him so that they can talk more with each other and do whatever they want for awhile, that way they're both happy?"

"I don't know," Twilight said.

"Yeah. I don't feel comfortable with leaving my brother alone, even if he's just gonna be upstairs with a friendly, purple dragon that would never harm a fly!" Gary agreed.

"Please, Gary! Just this once!" Eddie begged his older brother. "If you don't, when we get back home, I'll tell everyone here about that one embarrassing time you-" Eddie threatened, but was interrupted by Gary, who quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from saying anything else as Gary suddenly became very nervous as his cheeks began to turn red with embarrassment.

"You promised me that you would never speak of that incident to me or anyone else ever again!" Gary told Eddie. "That was one of the worst times in my life and I have no intentions to relive it ever again either!"

Eddie freed himself from his older brother's grasp and said, "Well, then you make your choice because of you don't let me hang out some more with Spike, I'll tell everyone about it here right now! In fact, I'll start first with mentioning what happened when you-"

"Alright! Alright! You win, Eddie! You can go upstairs and spend some more time with Spike, only for a little while and that's it!" Gary spoke in defeat.

"YES!" Eddie shouted excitedly.

"Whoa! Hold on there a minute there, kiddo!" Twilight reminded Eddie. "Your brother may have agreed to this, but I haven't so forget it! You're staying down here while Spike goes upstairs by himself!"

Eddie wanted to argue with Twilight to let him go upstairs with Spike, but unlike his brother, Eddie had nothing on Twilight that he could use against her to force him to let him have things his way. Eddie was at a loss of words and couldn't think of anything to change Twilight's mind.

"Oh, come on, Twilight! Just let Eddie do it already!" Spike defended Eddie's plan. "Besides, if I can handle managing and cleaning this library, running errands, sending messages to Princess Celestia and even defeating the wicked and dreaded King Sombra of the Crystal Empire, surely a little kid like Eddie won't be much trouble for me either!"

Eddie didn't like being called a little kid, but he was too fascinated by Spike to care about it. Not to mention, right now, Spike might be his only shot at convincing Twilight to let him spend more time with the purple dragon.

"He's got a point there, sugarcube," Applejack admitted. "Spike is the one who saved the entire Crystal Empire from King Sombra awhile back! When he puts it that way, I don't see why he and Eddie can't be allowed to have some time to themselves with each other upstairs."

"Fine," Twilight sighed as she realized that it was pointless to argue anymore. "You can both go upstairs and do whatever you want to do. Just don't-"

Twilight didn't even get to her finish what she was saying before both Eddie and Spike rushed upstairs as Eddie spoke, "This is the best day of my life! Woo-hoo!"

After reaching the top of the stairs, both Eddie and Spike disappeared out of view. "...get carried away," Twilight finished her sentence.

With that out of the way, Twilight and the other ponies turned their attention back to Tony, remembering what he had just did a little bit ago with his lighter and making smoke come out of the end of the cigarette in his mouth. "Okay. That that's taken care of, please explain to us, Tony, about what you are doing with that thing in your mouth?"

"It's called a cigarette, 'Sprinkles'! It's what me and other people use to smoke with," Tony told Twilight.

"Then what was that thing that you used to make fire and light your 'cigarette' with, if I may ask?" Twilight asked.

"Are you fucking serious!? You're telling me you don't even know what a lighter is!?" Tony yelled as he was really starting to get annoyed with all the questions that Twilight and her friends had been giving him. "This is a lighter! A lighter! L.I.G.H.T.E.R! Lighter!"

"It's what we humans use when we want to make a fire quick and for people like me, to light a good, old cigarette and boy do I love my cigarettes!" Tony answered. "We call it smoking and it's something me and many other people like to do everyday!"

"Wait! You smoke every day!? Why!?" Fluttershy asked.

"Because I like to and I don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks about it!" Tony replied.

"But don't you that breathing in so much smoke is bad for your health!? There's no way that can be good for you!" Twilight told Tony.

"You think that's bad, Twilight! Just wait until you hear what exactly is in a cigarette!" Ned said.

"Like what?" Twilight demanded as Ned got close to her and began to whisper some stuff into her right ear.

Twilight's eyes seemed to grow bigger than they already were as she took in all the disturbing new information regarding all the contents of the cigarettes that Tony and other humans were smoking everyday! Twilight then told her friends everything that Ned had just told her and they began to wear the same disgusted and horrified expressions as Twilight as they turned to their attention back to Tony who was still smoking the cigarette.

"Why are you all staring at me!? I answered all your stupid and annoying questions so leave me alone!" Tony yelled angrily.

"Are you aware of what's even in that cigarette that you're smoking right now!? Are you aware that every time you smoke one of these cigarettes, you're poisoning yourself!?" Twilight warned Tony.

"So. I don't care!" Tony replied.

"Are you also aware of how many other humans have died because of this terrible smoking habit!?" Applejack asked Tony.

"I don't care about that either! Just shut up!"

"Are you aware that you could be using more of you're money to pay for things that...uh...I don't know, like things that you actually need to live and have a nice, long and happy life instead of spending so much of your money just so that you can smoke everyday!?" Rarity spoke.

"You're really starting to annoy me so cut it out!" Tony said.

"Are you aware that other people who don't smoke might be suffering from all the smoke that you and other smokers make whenever you smoke!? Are you aware that that's called, 'Secondhand smoke' and that many people on your world who are non-smokers are getting sick because of this and are having a harder time breathing as a result, which is so, so, so very mean!?" Pinkie Pie added.

"For the fucking last time for crying out loud, I don't give a crap about what happens to me or anyone else as long as I can fucking smoke! I can care less about my own health, or about my money or about if I'm hurting anyone else!" Tony coldly announced.

"How can you be so cold, mean and selfish!?" Rarity demanded. "What happened to you that made you this way!?"

Hearing that last question from Rarity made Tony's blood boil as he furiously yelled, "That's my business and my business alone! I'm not telling you or anyone else about my past so don't bother on trying to ask me that again!"

"You're unbelievable, you know that, Tony!?" Alice berated Tony.

"You, I'm just gonna ignore!" Tony spoke as he turned away to avoid facing her.

"You're acting just like that rude and inconsiderate dragon that once lived in the mountains in a cave outside of Ponyville awhile ago!" Twilight told Tony. "Like you, he had a terrible habit of making smoke and everyday, he would do it without thinking about anypony else or if all the smoke that he was making was or wasn't hurting anypony else!"

"Yeah!" Pinkie agreed as she turned to the readers and broke the 4th wall again. "And for all you readers who don't know what we're talking about, go watch the 7th episode of season 1 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Dragonshy! That's one of my most favorite Fluttershy episodes!"

Everyone and everypony suddenly stared at Pinkie Pie with very confused expressions on their faces and seeing this, Pinkie Pie said, "What? What did I say?"

Everyone and everypony just decided to ignore that last thing that Pinkie said as they all turned their attention back to Tony. "So as I was saying, Tony, that dragon was making so much smoke that the skies were starting to be filled with it and this would be horrible for the lives of us ponies and the rest of Equestria as Princess Celestia warned us that if we couldn't convince the dragon to leave, the smoke from all his snoring would cover all of Equestria for the next hundred years and we couldn't have that! So we were forced to go up into the mountains and to his cave to make him stop. Like you, he refused to listen to us, even when we told him about how his smoke was affecting all of Equestria. Eventually, we resorted to using force to make him leave, but even that didn't work. It almost seemed like we had failed and that Equestria was doomed to being engulfed in that dragon's smoke for a hundred years! However, Fluttershy saved the day and managed to persuade that dragon about what he was doing was wrong and that he had to leave!" Twilight explained.

"So that's what you want me to do? You want me to leave?" Tony asked, now feeling like the ponies were only seeing him as a burden and liability.

"No. That's not what we're trying to say!" Twilight explained. "You're not listening to-"

"Oh, I've been listening and I've listened to all of you much more than I needed to!" Tony spoke as he headed over to the front door of Twilight's home and opened the door. "I don't need this!"

"Where are you going?" Applejack asked.

"Outside. Hopefully, I won't be bothered out there by anymore annoying and crappy horses that decide to ask me a million fucking dumb questions!" Tony shouted furiously as he slammed the front door hard behind him and he could be heard storming down the street outside.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but that Tony guy is a real jerk, jerk, jerk!" Pinkie said.

"Forget about him, Pinkie, we still need to figure out what we're gonna do with that pack of Timber Wolves! Ever since they became docile last night, we've kept them locked up in Ponyville's animal shelter and they can't stay there forever! We must decide what we'll do with them first before we do anything else!" Rarity reminded Pinkie and everypony and everyone else.

"She's right! We don't know how long those Timber Wolves will continue to act like friendly, tame dogs or if they'll permanently remain that way! Either way, we need to get to the animal shelter and decide what we'll do next!" Michael agreed.

"Alright! Everypony and human, follow me!" Twilight ordered as she led her friends and the 6 humans out into the streets and towards Ponyville's animal shelter.

Suddenly, Gary remembered Eddie and was about to turn back to get him, but Twilight assured him that Spike would keep him safe and that Ponyville was one of the safest towns in all of Equestria. Plus, it had been almost 30 years since the last time somepony had been kidnapped and almost 150 since another pony had been murdered! Except until last night, when the Timber Wolves attacked Ponyville and killed and ate all those unfortunate and innocent ponies, but now that the Timber Wolves had been taken care of, at least temporarily, Ponyville was perfectly safe again and there was nothing to worry about.

After Gary, Twilight and the others left and left behind Eddie and Spike at the library, a light-brown, unicorn pony stallion with an image of a camera on both sides of his flanks and who was wearing a brown coat and holding an old-fashioned camera appeared from behind Twilight's home. This pony seemed to be very agile and cautious as he quickly snuck down the street and away from Twilight's place without anypony seeing him!

Once he had gotten out of town and he was sure that nopony had seen him and that he wasn't being followed either, the sneaky unicorn pony sighed in relief as he laid against a tree and said, "Things look good. Nopony's seen or heard me and I'm in the clear!"

The unicorn stallion then pulled out a bunch of pictures that he had just recently taken, but he nor anypony else could see what pictures they exactly were of as they were all blank due to them all coming from the old-fashioned camera that he had used to take them with. The mysterious, unicorn stallion, though, knew exactly what he had taken pictures of, but he had to get them all developed first before he could present them to his boss.

"Yes! I did it! I, NewsFlash, have managed to get the very first pictures of these strange human creatures before anypony else!" the unicorn stallion spoke in excitement.

NewsFlash was a pony who had a job as a reporter and he been one for the last 5 years. However, for most of his career so far, he had found very few things to report to his boss and The Press that were that interesting. As a result, for some time, he had been struggling to earn enough Bits to make ends meet and his boss refused to pay him more unless he could find a real juicy story that could make the headlines.

Fortunately, NewsFlash had learned about the existence of the humans not too long ago and while he was skeptical at first about the existence of these new beings, he had nothing else to lose and he hoped that this would be just what he needed to get his career going! And that brings us to where he was now.

"I still can't believe that ever since yesterday when I came to Ponyville, I was able to successfully follow the humans everywhere they went since last night and despite how exhausting and stressful it was, all these amazing pictures that I got were so worth it!" NewsFlash said quietly to himself with a smile on his face.

What NewsFlash had just said was very true as he had indeed been stalking the 8 humans since last night and without them or anypony else knowing! For extra measure, he had even gotten some pictures of the humans going up against the giant Timber Wolf, Tony smoking a cigarette in Twilight's library and Eddie being amazed with and wanting to hang out with Spike The Dragon!

"This is big news! My boss will pay me a fortune for these! Hearth's Warming Eve Bonus, here I come!" NewsFlash cried out in joy as he placed all the photos that he had taken into a saddle bag that he was wearing as he headed for the nearest photo development place to get the photos developed before he would go to Equestria's National News capital building in Canterlot, which was where he would turn them over to his boss and demand a huge raise in wage. "One thing is for sure and that is that once I get back to the office, give these to my boss, collect my well-deserved Bits and copies of these photos are printed out in the latest Equestria Daily newspapers, everypony in Equestria and in time, the rest of Equis will know of the existence of these weird human beings and what happened in Ponyville in the last day and a half!"
