Chapter Three:
Never-ending Storm

The storm roles on. I can't sleep at all. All of the thunder and lighting, I'm pretty sure my house was shaking. I only hoped the girls and Spike weren't frightened. I decided to try and ignore the storm. A large boom of thunder could be heard from outside. Louder then I had ever heard and I swore I heard a very high pitched laugh. There was no way I was going to sleep through this. I grabbed my phone from my nightstand and unplugged the charger. I unlocked it by scanning my finger and decided to play some Smash Hit; a fun game where you throw marbles at glass. It was calming, soothing, and very satisfying, seeing the glass explode into fragments.

Another loud boom occurred and this one made me jump. I was so caught up in my game I had almost forgotten about it. I had decided to check on my new friends. At least, I considered them friends. I put on some black pajama pants and a t-shirt and opened my door slowly trying not to wake them. To my surprise, they were. They are wide awake, eyes bloodshot, and I could see them quivering where they sat. All except for Rainbow, who was still in a coma.

I saw Fluttershy squeezing Spike as if he were a lifeless teddybear. I would have two giant eyes to clean up after tonight, as they looked as if they were about to pop out of his head. I saw Rarity hyperventilating, Applejack covering her ears with her hooves with her hat over her head, Pinkie hiding under the pull-outcouch, and Twilight sitting normally, her pupils the size if the tips of two pins shaking. She was purely terrified. I slowly walked over and saw Twilight glimpse over at me. I put a calm smile on and walked into the bonus room. "Rough storm huh?" I asked.

"D-do all humans make their weather like this?" Twilight asked shakily. I chuckled a bit.

"Actually, humans don't control the weather. Like, at all. If we did, then politics would be worse then it is already." I laughed a bit at my joke trying to lighten up the mood. It had no effect. They all stared at me wide-eyed. "What?" I asked as if I were an idiot.

"This weather is... Natural?" Applejack asked. "I find that hard to believe." I swear she was getting on my nerves.

"Yup, and also, no one controls the sun, or moon!" Their reactions were hilarious to the point I was about to cry.

"But, you have a ruler! Don't you?" Twilight asked.

"No- well kind of." I said unsure. I thought Twilight would want to write some of this down so I offered her some paper and a pencil, which she gladly accepted. She took it with her magic and began to write down everything I had told her, and her friends. "My country is run under a complete democracy," I continued, "We have a president who is elected every four years. Anyone over the age of 35 can be president, as long as they are citizens, or have no criminal records."

"Come to think of it, Equestria is part democracy." Twilight stated.

"Really?"

"Mhm. We elect officials and mayors, but the Princesses are born, or chosen into the Monarchy." She continued.

"So were you chosen?" I asked.

"That does it." I heard Applejack mumble under her breath.

"What?" I asked.

"How do you know about us?!" She yelled at me.

"Applejack please calm down!" Flutter shy said as she continued to squeeze Spike.

"No! How do you know? I want the truth!"

I had enough. "Fine." I said as I tried to keep her quiet. I didn't want my sister to wake up. "It's time for you to know how I knew you all." They all perked up and watched as I picked up the TV remote. They all stared at it in wonder. I had half the mind to hold it up, as He-Man would raise his sword. I kept my composure and clicked the power button. After a few notes of music the TV turned on with static. The storm was obviously messing with the satellite.

'I knew my parents shouldn't have switched to DirectTV.' I thought. "Ok," I said out loud, "Plan B. I said as I switched from HDMI-2 to HDMI-1. I then turned on my Xbox One. The main menu came up and I went over to the YouTube application. The YouTube logo came up.

"What is... "You. Tube"?" Rarity asked making quotes with her hooves.

"It's basically a-" I stopped. They didn't have the internet back on Equestria. Did they?

"Is it from this new Internet thing?" Twilight asked. Apparently the internet was just being introduced on their world.

"Yes, it is actually. Although, we've had the internet for a few years now. It allows you to see videos made from all over the world." I explained. I pressed Y on the controller and brought up the search bar. I typed in a specific Youtuber: Letupita725HD★ A banner was shown with all seven of them together in front of Twilight's castle. They all gasped in surprise.

"That's... us!" Fluttershy yelled in surprise.

"Please don't freak out. I didn't make these. I don't even know how they found you guys." I Went over to the playlist that stated: Season 8. I pulled up the scene where Spike miraculously got wings:

They all stared at the television screen. As they saw the events that had happened not even a week ago, being shown on the screen in front of them. I paused it and asked:

"Well? What do you all think?"

"That... that just happened not even a week ago." Spike said.

"Well, this can show more than what just happened recently." I said with a smirk. With that I scrolled down to the Season 1 playlist and clicked the very first scene in the very first episode of the series:

I swore that as we watched it, I saw Twilight smiling slightly with tears in her eyes. I knew what she was thinking. This was what started it all. It started with a very anxious pony who learned about true friendship. As the scene closed I pressed 'B' and turned to them. "So... how was- OOF!" I was cut off when Twilight tackled me with a hug.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for playing that." She whispered into my ear. I could feel the tears streaming down her face. I couldn't help but hug back. She was soft. Her mane was silky as other FanFic writers stated. But she didn't smell like lavender. She smelled more like Vanilla surprisingly. We broke the hug, the others staring at us in bewilderment. I realized that they didn't understand why Twilight was crying.

"That was how Twilight's adventure started. It was what caused her to meet all of you." I explained. They all 'ooooh'ed. The storm was still coming down so I figured I'd stay with them for a little longer. Throughout the hour we watched sad, funny, happy, embarrassing, and amazing memories. I could hear even Applejack chuckle. I even played a few of their songs in which some of them hummed the tune.

The time came for me to head back to bed. I explained to them how to control the Xbox and went back to my room. I was happy that most of them were happy here. I started to go to sleep. Until the power went out and I heard a loud shriek. Just my luck that there was a power outage. I walked to my door once again with my phone flashlight on. I walked out the door only to be greeted by a shot to the face with magic. It stung a bit, I won't lie.

"Ow! Son of a..."

"Oh my goodness! My apologies Jem!" Rarity quickly blurted out.

"I-it's fine." I said rubbing my cheek. "Are you guys okay? The power outage really must've spooked you. I heard you screaming from my room!"

"We're fine." Applejack said, "We were just a bit spooked is all. Th-thanks for carin' though." Did she just thank me?!

"Um, no problem Applejack. Just, try and get some sleep guys okay?" I said as I started walking back to my room. "Goodnight." I said to them. I got back into bed and tried to fall back asleep when my door started creaking. I sat up and looked towards it, just to see black. I grabbed at my phone to see before I heard a soft voice:

"Um, Mr. Jeremy?" I heard Fluttershy ask.

'Oh thank god!' I thought in my mind. "What's wrong Fluttershy?"

"Um, well, you see, um..." She started whimpering a bit.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" I asked. I could see her silhouette nod. Then she asked:

"Could I, um, possibly sleep in your bed, with you." she asked.

'BWOOP! BWOOP! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!' my mind screamed at me. "Um, I guess? Just stay on your side of the bed please." I said softly. I heard her approach the bed and hop on. She got tucked in and we tried to go asleep. 'Thank god the lights are out! I'm sweating and blushing like crazy.' I thought. I never was good with girls. I was always so awkward around them for some reason. Well, the girls and Spike are pretty easy to talk to. But when Fluttershy asked to sleep with me in my bed I just completely shut down.

Besides her being a girl, I don't even know how old she is. Or the others for that matter. I'm Fifteen but what if she's older. It would probably be worse if she was younger but I seriously doubt that. But right now I need to try to go to- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

I felt something crossing around my arm and upper part of my torso. I felt it and it felt soft, warm, but sort of flat. I realized it was Fluttershy's foreleg. She had wrapped her foreleg around me. I could swear I felt a puddle on my bed from all of the sweat.

"Fluttershy! I hissed at her, "I said to stay on your-" I then heard a slight snore. She was asleep. I couldn't just wake her so I tried to move out of her grasp but her foreleg was too strong surprisingly. I felt her shivering. She must be terrified in this new environment. Doing the only thing I could think of, I laid my hand on her hoof. Then, I began to feel drowsy. Her warmth was actually very comfortable. It was so comfortable that I fell asleep in a blink of an eye. This was when the visions started.

In every good (but some very bad) hero movie, the hero has visions about the future. Mine didn't make sense. It flashed to a crown covered in blood, a black SOUL cracking, a Diary, and then everything just swirled into a vortex.

I woke up to the sound of thunder. The storm was still going on outside with the same level of intensity. I could still feel Fluttershy's foreleg around my torso. I gently slipped out of her grasp and onto my carpeted floor. I picked Fluttershy up gently and brought her over to the bonus room. I gently placed her onto the pullout couch when I noticed something missing. I saw the brown chair with nothing in it. Rainbow Dash was gone.

I walked downstairs to look around for her, when I saw her outside on the front porch Bench swing. I slowly opened the door and she turned to face me. To my surprise, she smiled. It wasn't even a cocky smile that she always pulled on the show. She patted the spot next to her on the bench and I sat down. We sat in silence, watching the rain fall into the Nature Preserve. The silence was only broken when she spoke up.

"I wanted to thank you for saving me." She said in a calm manner. She was taking this surprisingly well. "And before you ask how I know, I woke up while you were playing our memories on the screen-thingy." I chuckled.

"It's called a Television Rainbow." I explained. She chuckled back. "But, you aren't afraid of me? After what those other humans did to you?"

"So I got shot in the wing! Big deal! It should heal up in a few weeks!" She said with the cocky personality I liked about her. We looked at the rain some more. "So..." she started, "No one controls the weather here huh?"

"Nope. We can only predict and prepare." I stated. I began to hear her stomach grumble. She chuckled with a blush. I rolled my eyes and brought her inside. The microwave was out and I didn't want to let the cold out of the fridge or freezer so I opened the pantry. I decided to make us Peanut butter sandwiches. After eating, we talked some more. She got very excited when I asked her about the Wonderbolts. In return, I explained that I was being trained in Martial Arts which she found amazing. I knew I had made a mistake when she wanted to spar with me. The storm rolled on.

After about two hours the power came back on. I showed her baseball on the TV downstairs. She was definitely an athlete, just as I had expected. I personally wasn't. I knew literally nothing about sports. I heard hoofsteps coming downstairs. It was no other than the Princess of Friendship herself. She spotted Rainbow Dash and flew next to her giving her a hug.

"I'm so happy you're alright!" Twilight said.

"C'mon Twi!" Rainbow said, "you really thought a tiny bullet would finish me off?" She stated. Twilight and I both rolled our eyes. I then thought I would treat Twilight.

"Want a sandwich Twilight?" I asked.

"Sure! I'll have daisy and chicken please!" She said proudly. I stopped and I swore I heard a gramophone stop upstairs. The daisies I understood. But chicken?!

"You... eat meat?" I asked unsure.

Of course! We're omnivores! What, you thought we were herbivores?" She asked.

"Kind of. Yeah." I said blankly. "Show me your teeth Twi." She smiled and to my surprise, there they were. Two canines and the rest were molars. Which is surprising because you don't see sharp teeth on them on the show. Well, except for Flutterbat.

"Ok, but we don't exactly have daisies. We only have roses and mint."

"Then just chicken should be fine, thanks!" She said gleefully. I was relieved as well. Telling them I was an omnivore was going to be easier than I thought. I could only guess that Fluttershy was the only vegetarian of the group.

The others came down after awhile. To my surprise, Applejack said good morning to me. I was starting to wonder why she trusted me now. They were all happy that Rainbow was okay after that nasty bullet wound. My Dad woke up early to go to work. He said goodbye and told us to stay out of trouble. My mom went to her job at summer school next. She was more friendly with the others telling them to have a nice day and to stay dry. My sister was next and went to her part-time job at a sandwich restaurant called "Which Wich" she promised to bring home some desserts for us after work.

The storm was still happening. I decided to watch a movie with the girls. I asked what they would want and I got a variety of options:

Something with action from Rainbow Dash, something with comedy from Pinkie, something with Romance from Rarity, something with Technology from Twilight, something classic from Applejack, something not scary from Fluttershy, and Spike didn't care as long as it was a good movie. I asked them if they were okay with crude, inappropriate humor. They said it would be okay. With that, I began the "South Park Movie: Bigger, Longer, Uncut".

Flowey traveled underneath the soil of Earth. It was definitely not as fresh as the otherworld's. He was sick of being burned with so much weed killer. He surfaced and came face-to-face with an army of monsters.

"Greetings friends!" He yelled. "I brought you a present!" He said as the black SOUL shards were laid upon the ground. "Now I have a plan! I managed to hollow out the SOUL! I want one of you to take your SOUL, and disguise yourself as that pitiful human. Try not to be seen, whichever one is picked. A monster with a witches hat appeared.

(Belongs to Toby Fox)
Her name was Madjick. "I will do it, she said in a hoarse voice. The world around her went black as she pulled out her SOUL and wrapped the black one around hers as if it were a sock. When she returned to reality, she stared at her hands and saw messy human-like hands instead of her usual ones. Flowey nodded and slithered off.

'It's only a matter of time. That hate SOUL gave me no EXP!' he thought, 'I need a determined SOUL! Only then can I reach LV 10,000. But where can I find one?
