3 ponies and a changeling
The town of ponyville was bustling with life today. Everypony was outside enjoying the sun, or working in the market place. Ponies were selling fruits, vegetables, sweets, and even clothing.
Further in town was a tree house known as the golden Oaks library. Barely anypony went inside but on occasion some went in for important Knowledge. At a nearby shop that looks like a gingerbread house, a group of friends were conversing about their day.
An orange one with a Stetson hat spoke with a country accent. "We sold more apples today than we have ever sold in a week!". She exclaimed her name was applejack.
A cyan mare with wings and a rainbow mane and tale just rolled her eyes. "I just hope you can make more cider soon. Anyway today I cleared the sky in ten seconds again.". She gloated. She was the fastest mare in equestria. That's how everypony knew her. Her name is rainbow dash.
A yellow mare with pink hair spoke very softly, but loud enough to be heard. "I fed my animals and found my phoenix a new home.". She said. She is well known for being shy. It's literally in her name. Fluttershy.
A white pony with purple curl in her mane spoke up. "I finally finished a dress I have been working on.". She said. The fashionetta's name was rarity.
Next to her was a purple mare with wings and a horn. She seemed to have been reading a book and listening to her friends at the same time. She didn't bother to say anything. Her name was Twilight sparkle. Finally there was the pink friend who was jumping around and doing cart wheels. She stopped on occasion to eat a cupcake in one bite. She is pinkie pie.
They continued to talk to each other until pinkie started to fidget. It was almost as if she was having a seizure. It ended, with all of her friends looking at her. "Wow! That was a doozy!". Pinkie said. She then gasped loudly and ran off towards the ponyville train station. The rest of the group waited before rising from their seats and following their friend.
Meanwhile
On a train
It was a train cart with only three ponies in it. There was a fourth member who seemed to be more bug like with different colored eyes. He had a horn and was using magic to play a red bass guitar idly. This is murdoc.
He turned towards the window and grumbled. "HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS TRAIN RIDE SUPPOSED TO BE!!". He shouted at the top of his lungs.
A brown colored pony shrugged. He had no mane and his eyes were pure white. His name is Russel. "Bests me. Though this is going to be worth it. Ponyville is a great place to start recording our next album.". He tried to reassure the angered bass player, but to no avail.
Another pony who seemed to be a foal with dark purple hair looked at the two arguing grown ups. She was glad she didn't understand equin, but she was still having to learn. The child's name is noodle.
Finally there was the pale white stallion who did not look healthy in the slightest. His blue mane was a mess, he had bags under his eyes and a few small bruises, but what was most noticeable was that the stallion had no eyes. This is 2d. He looked towards noodle and smiled. "Don't worry love. Your going to love our new house.". He said.
Noodle couldn't understand what 2d said, or at least completely. Though his reassuring voice always made her think 2d was her big brother. Noodle was a Pegasus who just learned how to fly on her own, and while nopony knows her true origins, she takes pride in having a surrogate big brother. Though she wishes 2d wasn't an earth pony like Russel was. She wanted to be able to fly along side him.
Murdoc got bored of waiting so he went to his suitcase and pulled out a magazine. Playcolt. Murdoc grinned as he opened the magazine up to look at mares from around equestria. A few minutes later the train horn whistled, and alerted all the train passengers to grab their luggage and get ready to depart from the train.
Meanwhile
Main 6
The main 6 waited patiently as the train made a stop by the depot area. Pinkie had a huge grin on her face. She couldn't wait to show the new pony around town.
She then remembered that she has to throw a welcome to ponyville party. She along the rest of the group waited for a pony with an actual suit case and not a purse or bag.
Then they caught sight of a foal with a suit case in her grip, and had a guitar for a cutiemark.
A stallion came out next. He was all brown with a drum set for a cutiemark. What caught everyponies eyes except pinkies was his pure white eyes. Twilight thought he was blind for a moment but he was walking and looking around like he could see just fine.
Another stallion came out. He was pure white and he looked terrible. Rarity wanted nothing more than to take this stallion to the spa. Though everypony, including pinkie froze at the sight of his eyes. He had none. His cutiemark was a melodica, keyboard, and a microphone all crossing together. Twilight had enough she took a step forward to take this poor stallion to the hospital, but froze again.
A fourth figure came out of the train with a suit case and a bass guitar in his magical aurora. He was a changeling! Everypony got into a defensive position, but the changeling acted like it didn't even notice them. He was talking to the others who came out of the train. They walked right past the main 6, and walked into town.
Pinkie was still shocked from the stallion with no eyes. She shook her head and gasped. "I forgot to greet them!!!". She shouted. She was about to run off when rainbow grabbed her by the tail. Pinkie stopped in her place. "Pinkie stop! Those guys are with a changeling! They could all be changelings here to get revenge for what happened at the wedding!". Rainbow yelled.
Twilight nodded in agreement.
"I will contact princess Celestia about this.". She said.
Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"To hay with that we have to stop them now!". Rainbow shouted. Applejack came into the conversation.
"I agree with Twilight on this one rainbow. If the princess knows then she can send guards. We could be surrounded.". Everypony nodded. "Pinkie go make them welcome... ". Rainbow said. Pinkie sped off. "I'm not taking my eyes off them though.". Rainbow finished and zipped away.
Author's Note
Hey guys I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of the equestrian gorillaz. I will be honest when I say I feel like I should have made Russel a zebra. If you are wondering why murdoc is a changeling with just a horn. I just thought that form would suit him. Del will be making an appearance soon.

The princesses were enjoying a lunch together. They were both alicorns. One of them was as white as a marshmallow with an almost rainbow mane. She was alot taller than all of her subjects. This is princess Celestia.
Next to her sat a shorter alicorn. She was a dark blue, that looked black, and her Mane was almost as blue, only a little lighter. This is Celestia's little sister, princess Luna.
They talked about how their day was until a green flash erupted in front of Celestia. When the flash ended there was a scroll hovering in the air. Celestia took the note out of the air with a smile on her face.
After reading it's contents though she had a look of concern. Luna seemed to have noticed this.
"is everything alright sister?". Luna asked. Celestia didn't know Hector respond. She thought over her words for a moment.
"Luna, there is a changeling in ponyville.". Celestia said. Luna's eyes went wide. "it wasn't alone either. It had a stallion with no mane and white eyes following him. There was also a little foal. Then there was a stallion with no eyes.". Celestia explained.
Luna's eyes were even wider and her mouth was agape. Celestia stared at her sister for a moment.
"Luna I think your over exaggerateing.". Celestia said.
As soon as Celestia finished her sentence, Luna squealed with excitement. She started to hop around the room then she ran out.
Celestia was flabbergasted by Luna's sudden outburst, but she knew that she needed to check on her.
After arriving in Luna's room she saw Luna rummaging through a drawer and pulled out a CD. She trotted over to a music player and put the disk in.
"Luna? Are you OK?". Celestia asked. Luna turned and saw her sister in the doorway. "I know who that group is!!!". Luna screamed in anticipation. Celestia ignored the excitement in Luna's voice and was confused. "you do?". Celestia said.
Luna pressed play on the music player. The song started to play.
'I ain't happy
I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine
In a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on'
"they are my favorite band!!!". Luna yelled. While the song continued, Luna ran to her drawer and found the album cover. She was practically shoving it in Celestia's face. When Celestia took the album cover in her magic she did have to admit that these individuals matched twilight's description.
"what are they doing in ponyville?". Celestia asked. The song had just ended and the disk popped out.
"maybe we can go and ask?". Luna asked. The gasped at her own question and got excited.
"that sounds OK. We don't have anything else to do today anyway since its our day off.". Celestia said.
With that they took off.

Gorillaz
The band of four was walking aimlessly around the town to find town hall. Ponies everywhere either knew them or were shocked to see murdoc.
After walking around town for a little over an hour, they finally decided to ask for directions. They noticed a mare with a blue mane and sun glasses trotting along with a more sophisticated looking mare, with a bow tie around her neck.
"2d how about you ask?". Russel said. 2d looked at his friend.
"why me?". 2d asked. Russel raised an eyebrow and then turned towards murdoc who was looking at them both with a somewhat hateful glare. "because you are the closest one besides noodle to looking normal.". Russel said. 2d couldn't argue with that. He sighed and fastened his pace to the two mares.
"um excuse me? Can you direct us to town hall?". 2d asked plainly. The two mares just looked at 2d with open mouths. the one with sunglasses immediately shook out of her shock. "of course! Follow us. We got nowhere in particular to go today anyway.". She said.
"thank you Mrs?". 2d asked for the mares name. "the names vinyl.".
2d waved over the rest of his friends. "pleasure to meet you vinyl. I'm 2d. This is murdoc, noodle, and Russel.". 2d introduced his friends. Vinyl lowered her sunglasses at the sight of murdoc and Russel. She once again shook her head and introduced her friend.
"this is Octavia. She's like a sister to me.". She said.
After introductions, vinyl started to lead the group to town hall while Octavia stayed behind the group.
They continued to walk for a while.
"so what are you guys doing in ponyville?". Vinyl asked.
"we just bought a studio for our band here, and the mayor has the keys for us to go inside.". Russel said. Vinyl looked interested in them now. "you guys are a band?". She asked. 2d nodded.
"who are you guys? Band name I mean.". Octavia had spoken up. She also seemed interested in a new band. Murdoc gave her a grin.
"we're the gorillaz.".
A few minutes later, they were assaulted by a pink blur. It tackled 2d to the ground.
"himynameispinkiepieiwaslookingforevertotryandfindyoubut GASP icouldntbecauseyouwereallthewayoverherebutnowthatifoundyouwecanallbefriends!!!". The pink blur talked so fast that the only part anyone caught was 'we can all be friends'.
The pink blue got off of 2d and started shaking hoofs with everyone. 2d was still on the ground. If he still had eyes they would be as big a saucers. He was panting heavily. Murdoc snickered at 2d's unfortunate luck.
2d got up and straitened himself out. The pink blur then started to hop around the group of ponies, and changeling, and gave them all an invitation.
"pinkie!". A lavender coated mare yelled. She came in and practically scolded out 'pinkie' who in return just gave a beaming smile and a few nods.
Pinkie sped off a few seconds later. The lavender mare, who was an alicorn, came up to the group.
"I'm sorry about pinkie. She's just being pinkie.". She said.
"not a problem at all ma'am.". Russel said.
She left quickly after that, and the group just continued walking to town hall.
Once they got there they met the mayor, and became citizens of ponyville. They got the keys to their studio that is also a house, and they walked out of the town hall within two hours after entering.
"Maybe we should go to this party we were invited to.". 2d said. Noodle had a beaming smile that said she agreed. Russel nodded his head in agreement, and murdoc looked excited. "bring on the booze and the mares!". He said. Lucky there was nopony around to hear him. The invitation said to go to the gingerbread house.
With that they could already see it. The invitation also said that it was the only building that looked like this. With that they made their way to the gingerbread house.
