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

"Rise and shine, everypony!" Twilight shouted out as she and Spike came downstairs to see all her friends and the party of 8 humans just starting to get up.

It was now 6:42am in the morning and the sun had already began to rise into the sky above them less athen half an hour ago, signaling that another new day had just started. While mostly everyone and everypony didn't argue or get annoyed at Twilight for her sudden wake-up call, Tony, on the other hand, wasn't too happy about it as he was still a bit tired and had wanted to sleep in a bit more.

Instead of yelling at Twilight, he just ignored her and tried to go back to sleep, but Twilight and Rarity both used their magic and returned all the sleeping bags and pillows that Tony, the other humans and Twilight's friends had borrowed and slept in last night and placed them all neatly back into the storage closet that Twilight had kept them in before. This made Tony very frustrated, but he decided to let it go only because it should be breakfast time now and Tony's stomach was already growling again, despite all the food he and the others had eaten the previous night before they had all went to bed.

"Fine! Fine! I'm up!" Tony said. "But breakfast better be good and I mean good!"

"Relax, darling! Me and Twilight will make you and everypony else the best breakfast that you ever had!" Rarity promised.

Just like last night, Twilight and Rarity both used their magic to gather all the supplies, ingredients and tools that they needed and within a half hour, they had created yet another little feast for all of them to enjoy. This time, all the food consisted only of fresh daisies on sandwiches, hay salad, oats and raisins, some gems (for Spike), some fresh fruit and orange juice.

For the ponies, everything looked absolutely delicious and they were already helping themselves to everything that was on the table in front of them. The humans, however, weren't pleased with their food options and none of them had so much as touched any of the stuff that Twilight and Rarity had made for them.

"What the heck is all this crap!?" Tony complained as he stared at the daisies on sandwiches, the hay salad and the oats and raisins.

"It's breakfast, silly!" Pinkie Pie spoke. "You should try the hay salad! It's super-duper tasty!"

"Yuck! You call this horse junk food!?" Tony yelled. "Well, I'm not eating!"

"Okay. Suit yourself. More for us then," Applejack said. "What about the rest of you humans? Aren't you hungry, too?"

"I'm sorry, Applejack, but I'm gonna have to agree with Tony on this one," Michael replied.

"Same here!" John, Gary, Ned, Alice, Claire and Eddie agreed and spoke together in unison.

"Alright! What's wrong now?" Twilight asked, not understanding why the humans weren't partaking in the delicious and healthy breakfast that she and Rarity had prepared for them and their friends.

"What's wrong!? Look at these!" John replied as he pointed to the daisy sandwiches, the hay salad, and the oats. "We can't eat any of that!"

"And why not?" Twilight demanded.

"We're humans, not ponies, remember?" Ned pointed out. "We can't eat nor can our stomachs digest those things like you can."

"And we definitely couldn't eat any of those gems like Spike even if we wanted to either!" Ned added.

"Well, what about the raisins, fruit and orange juice? Surely, you can eat-" Fluttershy spoke, but was cut off.

"That and bread was all that we could eat for dinner last night! I want some fucking real food!" Tony demanded. "I want, eggs, bacon, sausages and ham! That's what I call breakfast! I want MEAT!"

After hearing this, the Twilight, Spike and her friends all gasped in shock and horror as their eyes all grew as big as soccer balls! "MEAT!?" They all screamed in terror and surprise.

It was then that the ponies all remembered what Doctor Lifeline had told them about the 8 humans back at the hospital and that he had warned them that the humans ate meat! They realized that ever since they had discovered the humans came from another world and then the terrible Timber Wolf attack on Ponyville and the funeral for all the Ponyville citizens and guards that had lost their lives, they had all completely forgotten the fact that the humans had sharp teeth, which meant that they were carnivores and could and did eat meat!

Twilight and her friends all mentally kicked themselves for forgetting such an important detail about the 8 humans until now. After a moment of silence, Twilight and her friends all calmed down before they faced the group of 8 humans and Twilight said, "Okay. I'm sorry about that. We should've asked you about what your kind eats before we did anything. But if it's meat that you want, then you're out of luck. We're herbivores so fruit, veggies, flowers, oats, some occasional sweets and for Spike, gems, are all that we have and serve."

"I'm afraid that-that we don't consume meat like-like you carnivores do and-" Fluttershy stuttered, but was interrupted.

"Who said we were carnivores?" Gary demanded.

"But Doctor Lifeline said that ya'll had sharp teeth and when somepony has sharp teeth that means that their carnivores," Applejack replied.

"I don't know who this doctor of yours is, but that assumption is wrong!" Ned explained. "Sure our kind does eat meat, but meat is only part of our regular diet. While we do eat meat, we are not carnivores like you all believe us to be. Technically, we are omnivores, meaning that we eat both fruits, vegetables and meat along with grains and other stuff."

"Wait Really!?" Twilight asked as she became even more interested in Ned and the other 7 humans than she already was.

"Yes," Ned answered.

Without saying anything, Twilight quickly pulled out a ink quill and a piece of paper as she quickly wrote down some notes with her magic about what she and her friends had just learned about the 8 humans. Both Twilight and her friends were beginning to realize that the party of 8 humans would be one of the biggest things to ever happen in Equestria!

"Cool!" Rainbow Dash spoke. ""But not as cool as me, of course!"

"Can we ask you some questions?" Twilight asked, Ned and the other7 humans, wondering what other interesting things there was for her, her friends and the princesses to learn about these peculiar human beings.

"Well, anything, sugarcube," Applejack replied.

"If it helps you out with certain things like knowing what to serve us to eat, then I guess we can answer a few of your questions, but only a few for right now!" John said. "And please don't ask us any questions that are too personal unless we say you can. Understand?"

Twilight and her friends all nodded. "Fair enough." Twilight spoke.

"Alright. So where should we start?" Alice said. "Do you want to know about our history, cultures, scientific achievements or about our lives?"

"Why don't we start with your kind's scientific achievements and-" Twilight replied, but was cutoff.

"Why do you humans wear clothes all the time?" Spike asked.

This question made the group of 8 humans start to feel a little nervous. "Uh, that's a personal question, Spike." John told him.

"Now, that I think of it, Spike has a point. How come you always are wearing clothes?" Twilight chimed in.

"It's just something that our species does. Now can we move on?" Claire said, not wanting to continue about this.

"Now, hold on there, sugarcube! I can tell that there's more to it than just that," Applejack spoke as due to her being the Element Of Honesty, she could tell not only when somepony was lying, but sometimes also when they were deliberately trying to dodge questions or leave details out.

"Me and my sister, too, also wish to know why you always wear clothes as well," the familiar voice of Princess Celestia was heard as everyone and everypony turned to see both her and Princess Luna.

"Princesses Celestia, I thought you were in Canterlot!" Twilight spoke, surprised that she, Spike, her friends and the 8 humans hadn't noticed her and Princess Luna before.

"Twilight, please! There's no need for formalities," Celestia told her number 1 student.

"We were, Twilight, but we just finished up all of our duties and informed your brother and Princess Cadence about the humans and everything that has happened here in Ponyville the past couple days. We have some spare time before we must return to Canterlot so we decided to come over and see how you and the humans were doing," Princess Celestia explained.

Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Twilight then turned their attention to the 8 humans. "So, Ned, why do thee and the rest of your race always wear clothes? Is it because of cultural purposes?" Princess Luna asked.

Ned didn't want to have to explain the purposes that clothes had for humans, but Ned realized that the ponies were just gonna keep asking him and the others until they got answers so Ned just decided to get it over with. "Well, if you must know, clothes are one of the human race's basic necessities! We need them just like we need food to eat, homes to live in, exercise to help keep us healthy, taking baths and showers and brushing our teeth to keep us clean and jobs to earn money and pay off all our bills and debts. We, however, do not wear clothes because of cultural purposes, but because it is one of the main necessities in life that we need the most." Ned answered.

"Does your kind wearing clothes everyday have to do with fashion," Rarity asked. "Because if it does, then I would recommend wearing something nicer, especially when attending important meetings and events."

"No. That's not it, but we do indeed dress ourselves better when we are attending, meetings and events like weddings, funerals, interviews and etc.," Ned replied.

"So then, where does the need for clothes really come in?" Fluttershy asked.

"I would say it's because back on our world, our race is required to be wearing them out in public at all times. Not doing this, is considered public nudity and that's illegal back home!" Ned revealed. "It's also very embarrassing!"

"But if I had to guess why we really wear clothes everyday, it's because of our constant need to wear clothes to protect our bodies from the weather and keep us warm when it's cold," Ned admitted.

"It's true! Our bodies are more vulnerable to the weather and the world around us than you are!" Gary chimed in. "We even have to wear shoes and socks just to protect our feet from the hard ground and anything else that could harm our feet!"

"As for when and where this all originated, it was our early human ancestors who first invented tools and eventually clothes," Ned explained. "There used to be a time when our race faced extinction and that time was during the long and brutal era of the Ice Age! As the name implies, much of our world was literally covered in ice and snow and the temperatures were extremely were below freezing back then! As a result, not only did early humans risk freezing to death, but food became scarce as well! so in order to help us survive, they created clothes out of anything that they could use like the hides of skinned animals to keep them warm! As for food, the intense cold made it impossible to find any fruits, veggies or other plants to eat so our ancestors had to improvise! So early humans during that time invented weapons like spears to hunt and kill other animals so that they could eat them and survive! Eventually, though, the Ice Age ended, our species involved, we spread to all corners of the planet and the whole concept of us wearing clothes and eating meat as part of our diet has stuck ever since!"

The ponies were quite taken aback by what they had just heard. They had no idea that the human race had had such a rough past and had experienced a period of dangerously low temperatures that could rival the huge blizzards caused by the Wendigos during the right before and during the time that the nation of Equestria was first founded eons ago! While they didn't like the fact that their kind had and still does eat meat, they realized that the humans only did that so that their race could survive or otherwise, face extinction just like why they needed to wear clothes to keep themselves warm and comfy.

"That's tough!" Twilight said.

For the next couple minutes, no one and no pony said or did anything, but after taking in everything that the ponies had just heard Ned say and remembering that Ned had stated that the terrible struggle to survive and near-extinction of the human race had happened many years ago and long before him and the other 7 humans were even born, Princess Celestia broke the silence. "You don't need to tell us anymore about what your early ancestors did, if you don't want to," Celestia told Ned and the other 7 humans.

"And I thought the dragons were tough, but you humans are tougher!" Applejack said.

"Now, that we've got that out of the way, does anyone or um...anypony have anymore questions that they want to ask?" John spoke.

"Yes. What was your life like back home before you and your friends came here to Equestria?" Twilight asked.

"Well, back home, I never was very popular and I didn't have that many friends either. Gary is one of those few friends that I had and like me, he's a nice guy. Anyway, back on Earth, when I wasn't taking my classes in College or doing homework on Tuesdays, me and Gary would go to the mall , which is a big place where they have restaurants, shops and other things for people like us to do and enjoy and we would go to the Food Court and get the special 10-pack 'Taco Tuesday Special' at Taco bell, which is a name of a restaurant on our world and we would each chow down on 5 of the 10 tacos and they were always delicious! We also went to the nearby arcade and played some fun and classic games like Pac-Man and Jurassic Park! We had a great time! On Fridays, Gary would be invited over to my house so that we could work together to complete our homework and projects, since he also went to college like me and Gary would always end up sleeping over with me by the time we were finished. On weekends, I usually had the house to myself and taking advantage of it, I invited Gary over to play video games and we would have our own little movie marathons while we ate popcorn," John confessed. "However, the one downside in my life was that my parents are so busy trying to make ends meet, that they each have at least 3 different jobs and they usually don't have much time to spend time with me or do things as a family! They would always leave me with simple meals that could be cooked in the microwave for lunch and dinner and they knew that I could easily make myself a bowl of cereal so they weren't worried about me starving. They also knew that I was a smart guy who could make his own bed, brush his teeth, take a shower, go to school on his own, do his own laundry, clean my room, clean my bathroom, check the mail, complete and turn in all his schoolwork in time, make phone calls, send text messages, call 911 in an emergency, do chores and more on my own as well. Everyday, I usually only saw them for 5 hours at most in the middle of the night, which they used to get some sleep before they got back up and left to go to their next job! I admit that I wish that they could've had more time to spend with me and there were times when it was so hard to be alone most of the time! Yet, I knew that my parents still loved me and felt the same way, but we needed the money and all their jobs were what was putting food on the table and keeping us off the streets so we all just accepted it and I haven't let that unfortunate fact bring me down!"

Twilight, her friends Spike and the friends were all shocked to hear this and felt a bit bad for John and they were about to say something, but John stopped them and said, "It's alright. You don't need to worry about me. I know people who have much worse lives than I do! Why don't you talk to Gary now? I'm sure he has some stuff that he wouldn't mind sharing you, too!"

After everyone and everypony turned to face Gary, Gary spoke, "My story is a bit similar to John's, but unlike him, me and Eddie's parents had and did spend lots of time with us! Sure our parents had to go on the occasional business trip and sometimes, be out of town for a couple days or more, but they were always there when we needed them and that's all that matters! As for College, my life at school wasn't too exciting and I wasn't popular either, but that's life, what can you do? I was and still am a huge fan of video games like Pokémon, Legend Of Zelda, Sly Cooper and more and playing video games usually kept me busy and happy in my spare time. As for Eddie, he has a tendency to be a real handful and he keeps leaving messes in his room and forgetting to put all his toys away, even after me and mom and dad had told him a million times to do so!"

"Hey! I do clean up my room!" Eddie argued.

"Putting all your toys underneath your bed is not how you clean up your room, Eddie!" Gary told Eddie.

Before Eddie could saying anything else, Michael spoke next. "I was somewhat popular in College as I played football and was one of the best players on my team! However, when I was younger, I wasn't very athletic nor was I really into sports. In fact, during my childhood, I was so weak that I would often get bullied by some of the older kids, who would call me names like 'shrimp' and 'smallfry' and they would take my lunch money after beating me up! I should've told my parents or the teachers about this, but I was too afraid of the bullies to speak up. Then, one day, I started watching action movies like Rush Hour and The GodFather and after watching them, I became inspired and started regularly working out everyday. After awhile, I was almost as strong and muscular as I am now and soon, I confronted those bullies, gave them a taste of their own medicine and ever since, no one has tried to mess with me again! Strangely, I never got in trouble for fighting the bullies and giving them bruises and black eyes, but I guess that because they feared me now, they didn't dare try to report me for fear of facing my wrath! Later on, I decided that I wanted to put my physical strength to use and after playing some football with some guys in high school, I've been playing in football games ever since and I continued doing it into my College years and well, you know the rest."

"It's my turn," Ned announced as he got everyone's attention. "I'm one of the best students back in the college I was taking back on Earth and I have never gotten an F before in my entire life! In fact, I've been a hard-working, straight A student for as long as I can remember! To be honest, though, despite my high IQ and impressive reputation, I wanna use my skills and knowledge to create my own comic book company, due to my love for comic books! I told my family this, but they just laughed and told me that it would be a huge waste of my skills, time and money and they insists that I become a scientist, or an inventor or an engineer. Because of them, I'm not sure when and if I'll ever achieve my dream of owning my own comic book company and I hate it!"

After Ned was finished speaking, Alice was next. "Almost everyone back home has found me beautiful due to my flawless, smooth skin and needless to say, I'm considered one of the prettiest girls in college!" Alice revealed. "But my past is one of tragedy as at the age of 5, my parents both died in a terrible and fatal crash while we were going on a trip to Disney World! I survived with only a few minor injuries, but my parents weren't as lucky! My mom didn't immediately die from the crash, but in her last moments of life, she told me to not let her and dad's deaths ruin her life and for me to grow up, pursue my dreams and do whatever makes me happy! After my parents deaths and their funeral, I ended up living with my grandfather and after what felt like forever, I finally moved on with my life and became the beautiful woman that you all know me as today! Dwelling on the past, won't make me feel any better. It's the present and future that I'm focused on now!"

Now, it was Claire's turn to tell her story. "I've always had a good family life and no one's ever bullied me," Claire spoke. "My grandma used to make the best food in our family and when I was little, she even used to let me assists her with all of her dishes! We all loved her cooking almost as much as we loved her! But she later passed away from natural causes and after she was gone, all our food tasted quite bland compared to her cooking! When I was older, I took it upon myself to learn how to cook and after awhile, I was able to cook and make certain meals like eggs and bacon and Top Ramen. Over the years, my cooking has improved greatly and I've come a long way! Yet, I still yearn to once again taste the amazing flavor of the food that my grandma used to serve me and my family all those years ago! My cooking is good, but until I can make food as good as my late grandma's, I'll never be completely satisfied with my cooking!"

After Claire had finished with her story, everyone and everypony turned to face Tony, who was next. Tony, however, didn't say anything and just glared at everyone and everypony instead.

"Well, Tony, don't you have something you wanna say, too?" John asked him.

"I already told you yesterday! My life is my own business, not yours!" Tony rudely replied. "I don't give a damn how much you all ask me to tell you, I'm not telling you anything else about my life than what you already know so just shut up and leave me alone!"

Tony then turned away so that his back was facing everypony and everyone else. Seeing that Tony wasn't gonna talk about his own life, this time, John, Gary, Michael, Ned, Alice, Claire and Eddie asked Twilight and her friends about themselves and their lives.

The Elements Of Harmony were happy to share their stories and they told them all about how they met, became friends and saved Equestria time and time again from villians like Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings and King Sombra! Twilight was a very-skilled unicorn pony, who was Princess Celestia's number 1 student. Applejack was an honest and hard-working Earth Pony, whose family owned an entire apple farm called, 'Sweet Apple Acres', which was located right at the edge of town. Pinkie Pie was the town's was Ponyville's local party pony whose job was to make ponies laugh and cheer them up when their unhappy or bothered by anything. Rarity's job was to design and create dresses for ponies, then sell them to make a living. Rainbow Dash was Ponyville's local weather pony and she was in charge of Ponyville's weather and she regularly had to make sure that the weather didn't go out of control and become a huge problem for the ponies and that the weather only stayed the way that it was supposed to be. For instance, if it was supposed to be a sunny day, then Rainbow had to make sure that it was a sunny day and if it was supposed to be a rainy day, then Rainbow had to make sure that it was a rainy day. Lastly, Fluttershy was the town's local animal caretaker and she cared for every animal that was in need or came to her. Being the Element Of Kindness, Fluttershy was the kindest of the Mane 6, but also the least brave as she could be frightened quite easily.

It was then that everyone and everypony (except for Tony) turned to face Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and asked them about themselves. Both princesses explained that they had been around for many years and had been around almost as long as the Kingdom Of Equestria has been! They said that as the two co-rulers of Equestria, they took their jobs very seriously, but at the same time, treated everypony else as equals and led Equestria through many years of peace, friendship and harmony!

Of course, there were things that the princesses didn't like to talk about such as when Celestia was forced to banish her own sister to the moon for a thousand years and after those thousand years of exile, Princess Luna, then known as Nightmare Moon, had almost permanently plunged all of Equestria and Equis into eternal night! Princess Luna still felt bad about letting herself fall down that dark path and nearly making everypony live in a world with a never-ending night, which in turn, would've caused the whole world to become a frozen wasteland and result in the complete destruction of Equis as everypony knew it!

"So what are your parents like? I would love to meet them!" Gary asked the two princesses.

Suddenly, Celestia and Luna seemed to become as still as statues as looks of shock could be seen on their faces! After a moment, both princesses came back to their senses as they both looked at Gary. "Our parents! You want to know about and meet King Cosmos and Queen Galaxia!?" Princess Celestia asked, sounding like she hadn't expected to be asked that question nor wanted to answer that question.

"Yes. I do!" Gary asked.

Twilight and her friends began to realize that the princesses had never talked about their parents to anypony ever and this caused them to also ask the princesses about them. "Gary does have a point. Who are your parents anyway and why haven't we met them?" Twilight asked.

The two princesses felt the eyes of everypony and human in the room staring at them and this made them become even more nervous than they already were. It was then that everyone and everypony noticed the sad expressions on both princesses faces.

"Celestia, what's wrong?" Rarity asked.

"If thee wishes to meet our parents, then thee can't!" Luna spoke.

"And why is-" Alice demanded.

"It's because they're dead! They're gone!" Celestia yelled as a small tear began to fall down her muzzle.

Everyone and everypony gasped after hearing this. Until now, nopony had ever known about the deaths of Celestia's and Luna's parents! And from the way that Celestia had said it, it sounded like it wasn't something that she or her sister liked to talk or even think about!

"What do you mean!? What happened!?" Twilight demanded.

"One day, when me and Luna were just small fillies, somepony…no, some monster broke into our home and our father was quick to hide us in safe place where we wouldn't be found. He and mom both fought the evil fiend and for a little bit, they hand the upper hoof, but soon, that wicked being managed to overwhelm and defeat both of them! And... and...and he murdered them-in cold blood!" Celestia confessed as she and her sister began to cry even harder than they already were. "Then, he got away and he was never caught!"

Again, everyone and everypony gasped after hearing this! Twilight, spike and her friends didn't know what to think of all this. The group of 8 humans began to regret asking the princesses about their parents as they watched them continue to sob profusely.

Before anyone or anypony else could say or do anything, both princesses began to light up their horns as Celestia said, "We must return to Canterlot! We have work to do!"

After saying this, both princesses suddenly disappeared in a bright light and when it was gone, both princesses where nowhere to be seen. Twilight quickly deduced that they had just used a 'Teleportation Spell' and were both now back in Canterlot.

Still, Everyone and everypony couldn't believe what had just happened and what the princesses had just told them! 'What pony would be so cruel and heartless to kill another pony, especially when those ponies had innocent, little fillies that needed their parents to raise and care for them!?' Twilight thought.

Meanwhile, all over Equestria and beyond, everypony was reading the newest edition of their newspapers from Canterlot. But what they all saw and read on their papers made them all freeze and gasp in shock, slight horror and disbelief.

"What the hay!?" They all were shouting as stared at the newspapers in front of them.

Nearby, at a local newspaper stand, blue unicorn stallion and a pink unicorn mare both bought each bought a copy of the latest issue of the Canterlot News for themselves and they began to look at and read everything on them as they all slowly walked away and out of sight of anypony else into a dark alley. Once they were sure that nopony else was around or could see them, both ponies quickly transformed in a blue light into freaky, pony-insect hybrids!

Anypony in Equestria would instantly recognize them as the infamous Changelings! The Changelings were much like ponies, only they were more insect-like than pony-like and they could shapeshift into pretty much any form that they wanted to or needed to at will!

While staring at the pictures of the humans on their newspapers and reading about everything that had happened in Ponyville in the past couple days, both Changelings began to smile evilly. "Our glorious Queen Chrysalis will be most interested in these human creatures! We should report this discovery to her immediately!" one of the Changelings spoke.

"Agreed! These humans may be our key to conquering Equestria and draining all the ponies of their sweet and succulent love!" the other Changeling agreed.

Without being seen or heard, both Changelings flew away and headed in the direction of The BadLands where the Changeling Hive resided. Once they got there, they knew that their Queen would be very pleased with them!
