Country Poniesby TwiPON3ChaptersMarusyaOsten and WestenBielyMapleMarusyaTwilight woke up before Celestia raised the Sun to a noise coming from downstairs. “What was that?” she asked, going to check it out. Thankfully, Spike wasn’t woken up by the noise. “Akh!” a mare with an unfamiliar accent said from the library, “Gde ya? Chto ya? Ya zhiv? Kto-nibud', pozhaluysta, pomogite mne!!! Chto sluchilos'!? Lyuboy, pozhaluysta!!!” “Ah!” a mare with an unfamiliar accent said from the library, “Where am I? What am I? I’m alive? Someone, please, help me!!! What happened!? Anyone, please!!!!” Twilight ran down and saw a mare that was having a panic attack. This mare was a light gray earth pony with blue eyes and a tri-colored mane (red, white, and blue), braided into two blue ponytails in back, and her cutie mark was a red star with a blue outline. “Kto ty!?” the pony asked, in full-on panic mode now. “Who are you!?” the pony asked, in full-on panic mode now. “I can’t under-” “Pozhaluysta! Pozhaluysta, pomogite mne!!” “Please! Please, help me!!” Twilight nodded her head, sat down, and opened her forelegs as if to embrace the mare in a hug for a reason she didn’t quite know yet. “Khorosho. Da, ya postarayus' uspokoit'sya,” the mare said, catching her breath. “Okay. Yes, I will try to calm down,” the mare said, catching her breath. “What is your name?” “Kakiye? Ya ne mogu tebya ponyat’.” “What? I cannot understand you.” Twilight quickly reacted to this the best way she knew how. “I have an idea,” she said as her horn glowed. “Chto ty- NET!!!” “What are you- NO!!!” But the mare wasn’t quick enough, panicking again after the spell had been cast. “Can you understand me now?” Twilight asked, concerned for her well-being. “What is going on? I should not be here! This is im- why am I not speaking Russian?” the mare said, still with her accent. “Listen,” Twilight said, putting a hoof on the mare, “I want to help you, I really do, but I need to know if my spell worked. Do you know what I’m saying?” She looked at Twilight in shock, “I… I can n- now. What was spell for?” “The spell simply made it where you can speak our language, so we can understand you.” “What are you going to do?” “I want to help you. My name is Twilight Sparkle. You’re in Equestria, more specifically, the Golden Oaks Library in Ponyville.” “Pony...ville?” “Yes. Now, just calm down.” “Okay,” she said, breathing. “Now, what is your name?” “My name is Marusya, but I was originally country called Russia.” “Tell me, what do you remember?” “Only thing I remember is waking up in library and being scared and confused.” “How do you feel?” “I feel naked.” “Ponies don’t usually wear clothes, Marusya, but my friend Rarity is a dressmaker. Maybe she could make you something.” “That sounds nice.” “So Marusya, is there anything else you remember?” “I remember having several sisters, and few friends. We were mostly close, though we had our differences.” “Well, however long you stay in Equestria, my friends and family are your friends and family, too. How does that sound?” “It would make me happiest.” Twilight yawned, but Marusya looked as if she were about to succumb to exhaustion, so Twilight showed Marusya the guest room. “You can stay here,” Twilight said, leading her to the bed, “I hope you enjoy your time here.” “Bol'shoye spasibo, Sumerechnaya Iskorka,” Marusya said in Russian before falling immediately to sleep. “Thank you so much, Twilight Sparkle,” Marusya said in Russian before falling immediately to sleep. “Good night,” Twilight said quietly and smiled at the peaceful-looking mare. As quietly as she could, Twilight pulled the covers over Marusya and left her to sleep, closing the door on the way out before going back to her own bed. The next morning, Twilight woke up to an unfamiliar smell coming from her kitchen and noticed that Spike was already awake. “Marusya?” Twilight called as she went downstairs. “Da!” she called back. "Yes!" she called back. “Are you cooking something?” “Da, I am. It is surprise, thank you for last night,” she said as Twilight went into the kitchen. "Yes, I am. It is surprise, thank you for last night," she said as Twilight went into the kitchen. “Hey, Twilight!” Spike said. “Good morning, Spike,” Twilight said with a smile, “Good morning, Marusya.” “Here is breakfast,” Marusya said, getting two plates and glasses and setting them on the table, “It is Russian dish called syrniki. It is cottage cheese dumplings with jam. In Russia, we normally drink milk with it.” “Oh, wow,” Twilight said, taking a bite of Marusya’s cooking, “This is amazing.” “Thank you. I believe it to be small token of my gratitude to you.” “No, it’s perfectly okay. I couldn’t possibly just leave a pony in your condition to fend for themselves. It just wouldn’t work.” “That is even more reason for me to show my respects to you.” “Well, do you think your sisters and friends may be here in Equestria with you?” “It feels like some could have come with me, but your country is rather large for me to search for them on my own.” “Well, Spike and I have five friends, the princesses, and one of our friend’s family to help you find them. What are their names?” “Osten, Westen, Biely, Schweizerisch, Nihon, Bug, Nam, Română, Union Jill, Français, Hayastan, Qazaqşa, and Maple,” she said, “If they are in same situation as myself, they should be easy to find.” “East, West, White, Swiss, Japan, Chosun, Han, Romanian, Union Jill, French, Armenia, Kazakh, and Maple,” she said, “If they are in same situation as myself, they should be easy to find.” “Those are nice names,” Twilight said as she and Spike finished their breakfast, “I’m sure they’re fitting, too. But... I'm starting to question the spell from last night.” “They are. Each are of their own country. Most would be proud and honored to meet you. And no, those are their actual names. They all speak different languages, so their names mean something in their language. Like, for instance, Biely means White in Byelorussian.” “Interesting. I’m glad to hear that, Marusya. Now, I think it’s only fair that you get the bathroom first-” Twilight said, but was cut off by Spike. “You know I like hot showers!” “Spike...” Twilight said. “It is fine. I will leave hot water for you.” “Okay, then,” Spike groaned. “Spike, you will enjoy me, I promise,” Marusya said, hugging both of them then getting the dishes and going to get ready for the day. Author's Note Just an idea that popped into my head when I saw a piece of fan art online. Маруся (Literally: Marusya) DeviantArt Page Osten and WestenAt Sweet Apple Acres, the Apple family was asleep in their beds, when suddenly a blast in one of the orchards sounded, and two unicorns popped into existance. They were both pale-yellow and had messy, tri-toned manes and tails (black, red, and yellow), and had lime eyes. They both spoke with an accent, and couldn't understand the other ponies. They weren't without their differences, though. One of them had a paler complexion, longer mane, and her cutie mark was a black eagle on a yellow shield, while the other had a golden complexion, shorter mane, freckles, and her cutie mark was a hammer and compass inside a ring of wheat. "Osten," the paler mare said, "Was ist passiert? Wo sind wir?" "East," the paler mare said, "What happened? Where are we?" "Ich weiß es nicht, Westen," the freckled one said, "Ich habe genauso Angst wie du!" "I don't know, West," the freckled one said, "I'm just as scared as you!" "Nun, zumindest haben wir uns." "Well, at least we have each other." "Ja," Osten replied as they embraced each other in a hug, "Sollten wir versuchen, jemanden zu finden, der uns helfen wird, oder sollten wir hier übernachten und bis zum Morgen warten?" "Yeah," East replied as they embraced each other in a hug, "Should we try to find someone who'll help us, or should we stay here for the night and wait until morning?" "Ich glaube, irgendwo hier gibt es ein Bauernhaus," Westen said, pointing a hoof to the right of them, "Vielleicht kann jemand, der dort wohnt, uns helfen." "I think there's a farmhouse around here somewhere," West said, pointing a hoof to the right of them, "Maybe someone who lives there can help us." "Gute Idee, Westen." "Good idea, West." "Danke," she replied as the two went in the direction she had pointed to earlier. "Thanks," she replied as the two went in the direction she had pointed to earlier. The sisters made their way over to the barn, a walk that didn't take too terribly long. "Was sollen wir sagen?" Osten asked. "What should we say?" East asked. "Ich weiß nicht, Osten. Ich ... lass uns einfach ehrlich sein und ihnen sagen, was passiert ist und was wir wissen," Westen said as she knocked on the door. "I don't know, East. I... let's just be honest and tell them what happened and what we know," West said as she knocked on the door. A few minutes later, Applejack came and answered the door. "Anything Ah can do fer ya?" she said. "Ich bin nicht sicher, was Sie gerade gesagt haben, aber meine Schwester und ich brauchen eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit," Westen said. "I'm not sure what you just said, but my sister and I need a place to stay for the night," West said. "Uh, beg pardon?" "Osten, hilf mir!" "East, help me!" "Du sagst etwas, ich werde es ausspielen." "You say something, I'll act it out." Westen began to explain again. "Wir sind Schwestern," Osten and Westen put a hoof on each others' shoulders, "Wir wissen nicht was passiert ist," Osten sat and held her hooves up as if she were confused, "Wir brauchen einen Schlafplatz für die Nacht," Osten laid down on the ground and pretended to sleep, "Wirst du uns helfen?" Osten pointed at Applejack, traced a question mark on the ground, then pointed at her and her sister. "We are sisters," East and West put a hoof on each others' shoulders, "We don't know what happened," East sat and held her hooves up as if she were confused, "We need a place to sleep for the night," East laid down on the ground and pretended to sleep, "Will you help us?" East pointed at Applejack, traced a question mark on the ground, then pointed at her and her sister. Applejack thought for a minute, "So, you need a place to stay?" she said, pointing at the two sisters, then the barn, "Ah suppose y'all can stay as long as you need to," she said, nodding her head and holding out her hoof for them to go in, "Ah'll take y'all to the guest room. Also," she held her hoof to her chest, "I'm Applejack." Applejack quickly showed them the guest room and tried her best to make them feel welcome, a difficult task since they couldn't talk to each other, but she managed to pull it off. "Night," she said, leaving the room to go back to bed after they immediately fell asleep. The next morning, Applejack woke up, as usual, with the Sun. She immediately went down to the kitchen to start breakfast, but she already smelled somepony cooking. "You two?" she called, "You in here?" "Ich habe fast das Frühstück fertig, Miss Applejack," Osten said, "Es ist ein Gericht aus der DDR. Ich bin mir sicher, dass es dir gefallen wird." "I almost have breakfast ready, Miss Applejack," East said, "It is a dish from the GDR. I'm sure you will like it." "Sounds fine ta me, whatever ya just said." "Ich habe Apfelgebäck und Toast gemacht. Sie werden zum Frühstück von einigen Deutschen gegessen, oft auch mit Tee." "I made apple fritters and toast. They are eaten for breakfast by some Germans, often times served with tea." "Oh, Which one are you?" Applejack said, pointing her hoof at her. The mare turned around to show her cutie mark, the hammer and compass. "Applejack," Applejack said, pointing to her self, "You?" she pointed to Osten. "Osten," she replied, holding a hoof to herself. "East," she replied, holding a hoof to herself. Applejack saw what Osten was making for breakfast, so, being a familiar treat, she decided to help out. Osten, however, refused to let her host pony do anything of the such. "Lemmie give ya a hoof," Applejack said, going over to the counter. "Nein, das wäre nicht richtig," Osten said, blocking Applejack, "Auf diese Weise zeige ich Ihnen unsere Dankbarkeit. Ich bin mir sicher, Westen wird ihre eigene Idee haben. "No. It wouldn't be right," East said, blocking Applejack, "This is my way of showing our gratitude to you. I'm sure West will come up with her own idea." "Maybe Twilight can help us when she gets up." A few hours later, everyone was up and eating breakfast. Applejack had to explain the situation with Osten and Westen about why they couldn't talk and had to sign everything out, which they found odd, but were willing to go with it as long as they needed to. As soon as they finished their breakfast, Applejack lead Osten and Westen to the Golden Oaks Library. Author's Note I know the cutie marks are wrong. Otherwise, these are the exact characters. Osten (Literally: East) DeviantArt Page Westen (Literally: West) DeviantArt Page BielyIt was just after midnight in Ponyville, and everything seemed to be going normal, as with every other night. Just tonight, though, there was a flash of light and a small pop in front of Sugarcube corner, waking Pinkie up. "A new pony!" she said to herself, jolting up in her bed, "Tomorrow is the day for a party!" Meanwhile, outside sat a lime earth pony mare. She had key lime eyes, somewhat a somewhat-curly, two-toned mane and tail (dark orange and dark leaf), and her cutie mark was a red crystal star outlined in gold, surrounded by a golden ring of leaves. She spoke with an accent, but wouldn't be able to understand any of the ponies. Unless her sisters and friends were there... "Što zdarylasia sa mnoj?" she asked, shrugging it off moments later and letting her happy-go-lucky attitude take back over, "Viedaješ što?" she said with a yawn, "Zaŭtra, ja daznajusia, i ja budu atrymlivać zadavaĺniennie rabić heta!" "What happened to me?" she asked, shrugging it off moments later and letting her happy-go-lucky attitude take back over, "You know what?" she said with a yawn, "Tomorrow, I'm gonna find out, and I'm gonna have fun doing it!" Whatever had happened, she wasn't about to let it get her hopes and good spirits down. She knew that wouldn't accomplish anything. In fact, she may even make some new friends! Not that she didn't enjoy her friends and family, but because the more, the merrier. She had always had that mindset, because it was a good one to have, right? "Vila Ruž budzie viesiela!" she said, looking around. "This is gonna be fun!" she said, looking around. Moments later, Pinkie Pie answered the door, capturing her attention. "Hi!" she said, "What are you doing out this late? I bet it's for a midnight snack, isn't it?" "Dobry dzień!" the green mare said with a smile, "Ja nie ŭpeŭnieny, kali vy možacie zrazumieć mianie, alie bylo b dobra, kali b ja zastaŭsia z taboj sionnia?" "Hello!" the green mare said with a smile, "I'm not sure if you can understand me, but would it be okay if I stayed with you tonight?" Pinkie Pie looked at her for a moment, then, as if her Pinkie Sense told her what the pony said, answered, "Sure thing! Wait, do you know what I'm saying?" "Ja nie mahu ciabie zrazumieć, Pink Paj," she replied, "Alie, kali vy možacie zrazumieć mianie, ja Biely." "I can't understand you, Pinkie Pie," she replied, "But, if you can understand me, I'm Biely." "So, Pinkie Pie," she pointed a hoof to herself, "And Biely?" she pointed a hoof to Biely. "Da!" she said with a smile, "Praviĺna!" "Yeah!" she said with a smile, "That's right!" "Well, come in, Biely!" Pinkie said, motioning for her to come in. "Vialiki dziakuj, Pink!" Biely said, going inside. "Thanks a lot, Pinkie Pie!" Biely said, going inside." "You can sleep in my room!" Pinkie Pie said, signing out what she was saying. It seemed to be rather effective, as Biely followed her to her room. "You can sleep here!" Pinkie said, signing and pointing to her bed. "Što nakont ciabie?" "What about you?" "Bunkmates!" Pinkie said, getting on half of her bed and patting a hoof on the other. Biely understood the invitation and jumped into bed with Pinkie and immediately fell asleep. "Nighty night," Pinkie said, pulling the cover over them and falling asleep shortly after. The next morning, Mrs Cake went to wake Pinkie, but was surprised when she saw another pony in bed with Pinkie. "Pinkie Pie," she said, tapping the pink pony. She gently woke up, waking Biely up in the process, "Oh, good morning!" "Who's your new friend?" "Her name is Biely!" she replied as Biely rubbed the sleepy from her eyes, "She can't understand a thing we say!" "Oh, dear! Well, do you know what happened?" "No. Maybe Twilight can help us out!" "Okay, then you two get ready for the day and go see what she can do," Mrs Cake said, leaving. "Follow me!" Pinkie said, motioning for Biely to follow her to the bathroom. "Dobra!" Biely replied, following her and taking the bathroom first. "Okay!" Biely replied, following her and taking the bathroom first. Author's Note Белы (Pronounced: Biely|Literally: White) DeviantArt Page MapleJust inside the everfree forest in the middle of the night, while Fluttershy and her animals were asleep, there was a noise in the forest, and a pony spawned out of nowhere. The pony was a white unicorn mare with a two-toned mane and tail (red and white), with ruby eyes, and a red maple leaf for her cutie mark. She spoke with an accent and was bilingual in English and French, so she could understand the other ponies. "What happened, eh?" she said. Meanwhile, Fluttershy, being the light sleeper she was, woke up. "O- oh my!" she said, pulling the covers over her as some of her animals came and comforted her. Angel Bunny shrugged his shoulders. "What do you think it could be?" Angel acted out that it could be another pony, but he wasn't sure. "Are they nice?" Angel took Fluttershy outside, much to her fright. Back in the forest, the red and white pony had began searching for civilization, and was now carrying a maple leaf in her mane. "Eh?" she said as she heard a tree branch snap, "Anyone there?" "Eep!" "Sorry!" A moment later, she saw a rabbit hop over to her and motion for her to follow. "It's not safe out here, eh, rabbit? I get the chills just from standing here." The rabbit nodded and began hopping back out, so the mare followed. "A- An- Angel?" Fluttershy called, "Are you okay?" Angel nodded and pointed at the mare with the leaf. "I'm Maple," she said, taking the leaf from her mane and offered it to Fluttershy, "It's nice to meet you." "O- oh," Fluttershy replied, taking the leaf and putting it in her own mane, "I'm... I'm Fluttershy." "That's a nice name," Maple complimented. "Let's go inside," Fluttershy said, showing Maple to her cottage. Inside, they both sat down on her couch. "Can you tell me about yourself, Maple?" "Well, I guess I'm a form of Canada, eh, which is pretty weird. I can speak two languages, which may be good if some of the other countries came along." "Oh, well, I take care of the animals here in Ponyville, and I'm the element of Kindness." "I could see it when you let me in. Anyway, what do you like to do?" "Oh, well, I do spend time with my friends, and help keep Equestria safe. Maybe my friend Twilight Sparkle can help you get back home." "I do like being alive, though," she said, only realizing her mistake when she looked at a shocked Fluttershy, "No, I don't mean it like that, I mean it like it feels nice to be a living creature that can walk and talk." Fluttershy calmed down at hearing this. "I thought you meant you were dead." "No, more like a spirit, eh?" "Oh. l... guess that's okay...?" "Knowing that so many people are glad to have you is good, but to see what it's like to be one is... it's phenomenal." "I guess I can understand the feeling. I mean, being the element of Kindness is similar, right?" "Maybe." "Heh, maybe." "So, what's it like being an element of kindness, eh?" "Oh, well, it is a part of being one of Equestria's defenders. Not too long ago, we stopped Discord from turning Equestria into a land of chaos." "You are a living element, eh?" "I guess I am," she said, smiling at Maple, "Anyway, how does it feel to be a pony now?" "It feels nice." "That's good," Fluttershy said with a yawn, "Oh, excuse me!" "It is a bit late, and I'm sorry that I woke you up." "No, it's okay. The couch is the best I can give you, unless you want my bed, of course." "I couldn't." "Well, in that case, could I get you something to drink before bed, like a cup of tea?" "That sounds nice," Maple said as Fluttershy got up, "Say, have you ever put honey in your tea?" "No," she said, stopping and facing Maple again, "I've never tried that before." "It makes it taste sweet." "Oh, okay," she replied, going into the kitchen and coming out with tea and honey. "Is there anything I can do to help out around here?" Fluttershy sat the tea down on her coffee table and took her seat next to Maple, "It's fine." "You do have a lot of animals here. Maybe I could help out with them." "I guess they have been wanting to see another pony for a while." Another yawn escaped both of them. "Oh, it's getting late," Maple said, "And I'm not running you out of your bed." "Okay," Fluttershy replied, getting up and getting a blanket and pillow, "Here you are. Would you like me to tuck you in?" "I was just about to ask you the same thing, eh?" "Aw, I couldn't ask that of you." "No, I woke you up in the middle of the night. It's only right that I do." "Well, if you insist." Maple followed Fluttershy to her room and tucked her in for the night. "Good night, Fluttershy," Maple said as she closed the door behind her and went back to the couch and laid down. Minutes later, they were both sound asleep. The next morning, Fluttershy woke up to the smell of pancakes. "Maple?" Fluttershy said, walking into her kitchen. "Morning, Miss Fluttershy," Maple said, setting the table for breakfast, "How are you feeling?" "Oh, I'm feeling fine," she replied as the unicorn pulled her out a chair, "My... thank you." "Oh, it's no problem, eh?" They both sat down to a pancake breakfast, complete with butter, milk, and (her absolute favorite), maple syrup. "Later, after breakfast, we can go see Twilight, if you want to try and get home." "That would be nice," she replied, "Now, let's dig in before they get cold." Author's Note Maple Derpibooru Page

Ich ... lass uns einfach ehrlich sein und ihnen sagen, was passiert ist und was wir wissen," Westen said as she knocked on the door. "I don't know, East. I... let's just be honest and tell them what happened and what we know," West said as she knocked on the door. A few minutes later, Applejack came and answered the door. "Anything Ah can do fer ya?" she said. "Ich bin nicht sicher, was Sie gerade gesagt haben, aber meine Schwester und ich brauchen eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit," Westen said. "I'm not sure what you just said, but my sister and I need a place to stay for the night," West said. "Uh, beg pardon?" "Osten, hilf mir!" "East, help me!" "Du sagst etwas, ich werde es ausspielen." "You say something, I'll act it out." Westen began to explain again. "Wir sind Schwestern," Osten and Westen put a hoof on each others' shoulders, "Wir wissen nicht was passiert ist," Osten sat and held her hooves up as if she were confused, "Wir brauchen einen Schlafplatz für die Nacht," Osten laid down on the ground and pretended to sleep, "Wirst du uns helfen?" Osten pointed at Applejack, traced a question mark on the ground, then pointed at her and her sister. "We are sisters," East and West put a hoof on each others' shoulders, "We don't know what happened," East sat and held her hooves up as if she were confused, "We need a place to sleep for the night," East laid down on the ground and pretended to sleep, "Will you help us?" East pointed at Applejack, traced a question mark on the ground, then pointed at her and her sister. Applejack thought for a minute, "So, you need a place to stay?" she said, pointing at the two sisters, then the barn, "Ah suppose y'all can stay as long as you need to," she said, nodding her head and holding out her hoof for them to go in, "Ah'll take y'all to the guest room. Also," she held her hoof to her chest, "I'm Applejack." Applejack quickly showed them the guest room and tried her best to make them feel welcome, a difficult task since they couldn't talk to each other, but she managed to pull it off. "Night," she said, leaving the room to go back to bed after they immediately fell asleep. The next morning, Applejack woke up, as usual, with the Sun. She immediately went down to the kitchen to start breakfast, but she already smelled somepony cooking. "You two?" she called, "You in here?" "Ich habe fast das Frühstück fertig, Miss Applejack," Osten said, "Es ist ein Gericht aus der DDR. Ich bin mir sicher, dass es dir gefallen wird." "I almost have breakfast ready, Miss Applejack," East said, "It is a dish from the GDR. I'm sure you will like it." "Sounds fine ta me, whatever ya just said." "Ich habe Apfelgebäck und Toast gemacht. Sie werden zum Frühstück von einigen Deutschen gegessen, oft auch mit Tee." "I made apple fritters and toast. They are eaten for breakfast by some Germans, often times served with tea." "Oh, Which one are you?" Applejack said, pointing her hoof at her. The mare turned around to show her cutie mark, the hammer and compass. "Applejack," Applejack said, pointing to her self, "You?" she pointed to Osten. "Osten," she replied, holding a hoof to herself. "East," she replied, holding a hoof to herself. Applejack saw what Osten was making for breakfast, so, being a familiar treat, she decided to help out. Osten, however, refused to let her host pony do anything of the such. "Lemmie give ya a hoof," Applejack said, going over to the counter. "Nein, das wäre nicht richtig," Osten said, blocking Applejack, "Auf diese Weise zeige ich Ihnen unsere Dankbarkeit. Ich bin mir sicher, Westen wird ihre eigene Idee haben. "No. It wouldn't be right," East said, blocking Applejack, "This is my way of showing our gratitude to you. I'm sure West will come up with her own idea." "Maybe Twilight can help us when she gets up." A few hours later, everyone was up and eating breakfast. Applejack had to explain the situation with Osten and Westen about why they couldn't talk and had to sign everything out, which they found odd, but were willing to go with it as long as they needed to. As soon as they finished their breakfast, Applejack lead Osten and Westen to the Golden Oaks Library. Author's Note I know the cutie marks are wrong. Otherwise, these are the exact characters.

BielyIt was just after midnight in Ponyville, and everything seemed to be going normal, as with every other night. Just tonight, though, there was a flash of light and a small pop in front of Sugarcube corner, waking Pinkie up. "A new pony!" she said to herself, jolting up in her bed, "Tomorrow is the day for a party!" Meanwhile, outside sat a lime earth pony mare. She had key lime eyes, somewhat a somewhat-curly, two-toned mane and tail (dark orange and dark leaf), and her cutie mark was a red crystal star outlined in gold, surrounded by a golden ring of leaves. She spoke with an accent, but wouldn't be able to understand any of the ponies. Unless her sisters and friends were there... "Što zdarylasia sa mnoj?" she asked, shrugging it off moments later and letting her happy-go-lucky attitude take back over, "Viedaješ što?" she said with a yawn, "Zaŭtra, ja daznajusia, i ja budu atrymlivać zadavaĺniennie rabić heta!" "What happened to me?" she asked, shrugging it off moments later and letting her happy-go-lucky attitude take back over, "You know what?" she said with a yawn, "Tomorrow, I'm gonna find out, and I'm gonna have fun doing it!" Whatever had happened, she wasn't about to let it get her hopes and good spirits down. She knew that wouldn't accomplish anything. In fact, she may even make some new friends! Not that she didn't enjoy her friends and family, but because the more, the merrier. She had always had that mindset, because it was a good one to have, right? "Vila Ruž budzie viesiela!" she said, looking around. "This is gonna be fun!" she said, looking around. Moments later, Pinkie Pie answered the door, capturing her attention. "Hi!" she said, "What are you doing out this late? I bet it's for a midnight snack, isn't it?" "Dobry dzień!" the green mare said with a smile, "Ja nie ŭpeŭnieny, kali vy možacie zrazumieć mianie, alie bylo b dobra, kali b ja zastaŭsia z taboj sionnia?" "Hello!" the green mare said with a smile, "I'm not sure if you can understand me, but would it be okay if I stayed with you tonight?" Pinkie Pie looked at her for a moment, then, as if her Pinkie Sense told her what the pony said, answered, "Sure thing! Wait, do you know what I'm saying?" "Ja nie mahu ciabie zrazumieć, Pink Paj," she replied, "Alie, kali vy možacie zrazumieć mianie, ja Biely." "I can't understand you, Pinkie Pie," she replied, "But, if you can understand me, I'm Biely." "So, Pinkie Pie," she pointed a hoof to herself, "And Biely?" she pointed a hoof to Biely. "Da!" she said with a smile, "Praviĺna!" "Yeah!" she said with a smile, "That's right!" "Well, come in, Biely!" Pinkie said, motioning for her to come in. "Vialiki dziakuj, Pink!" Biely said, going inside. "Thanks a lot, Pinkie Pie!" Biely said, going inside." "You can sleep in my room!" Pinkie Pie said, signing out what she was saying. It seemed to be rather effective, as Biely followed her to her room. "You can sleep here!" Pinkie said, signing and pointing to her bed. "Što nakont ciabie?" "What about you?" "Bunkmates!" Pinkie said, getting on half of her bed and patting a hoof on the other. Biely understood the invitation and jumped into bed with Pinkie and immediately fell asleep. "Nighty night," Pinkie said, pulling the cover over them and falling asleep shortly after. The next morning, Mrs Cake went to wake Pinkie, but was surprised when she saw another pony in bed with Pinkie. "Pinkie Pie," she said, tapping the pink pony. She gently woke up, waking Biely up in the process, "Oh, good morning!" "Who's your new friend?" "Her name is Biely!" she replied as Biely rubbed the sleepy from her eyes, "She can't understand a thing we say!" "Oh, dear! Well, do you know what happened?" "No. Maybe Twilight can help us out!" "Okay, then you two get ready for the day and go see what she can do," Mrs Cake said, leaving. "Follow me!" Pinkie said, motioning for Biely to follow her to the bathroom. "Dobra!" Biely replied, following her and taking the bathroom first. "Okay!" Biely replied, following her and taking the bathroom first. Author's Note Белы (Pronounced: Biely|Literally: White) DeviantArt Page
MapleJust inside the everfree forest in the middle of the night, while Fluttershy and her animals were asleep, there was a noise in the forest, and a pony spawned out of nowhere. The pony was a white unicorn mare with a two-toned mane and tail (red and white), with ruby eyes, and a red maple leaf for her cutie mark. She spoke with an accent and was bilingual in English and French, so she could understand the other ponies. "What happened, eh?" she said. Meanwhile, Fluttershy, being the light sleeper she was, woke up. "O- oh my!" she said, pulling the covers over her as some of her animals came and comforted her. Angel Bunny shrugged his shoulders. "What do you think it could be?" Angel acted out that it could be another pony, but he wasn't sure. "Are they nice?" Angel took Fluttershy outside, much to her fright. Back in the forest, the red and white pony had began searching for civilization, and was now carrying a maple leaf in her mane. "Eh?" she said as she heard a tree branch snap, "Anyone there?" "Eep!" "Sorry!" A moment later, she saw a rabbit hop over to her and motion for her to follow. "It's not safe out here, eh, rabbit? I get the chills just from standing here." The rabbit nodded and began hopping back out, so the mare followed. "A- An- Angel?" Fluttershy called, "Are you okay?" Angel nodded and pointed at the mare with the leaf. "I'm Maple," she said, taking the leaf from her mane and offered it to Fluttershy, "It's nice to meet you." "O- oh," Fluttershy replied, taking the leaf and putting it in her own mane, "I'm... I'm Fluttershy." "That's a nice name," Maple complimented. "Let's go inside," Fluttershy said, showing Maple to her cottage. Inside, they both sat down on her couch. "Can you tell me about yourself, Maple?" "Well, I guess I'm a form of Canada, eh, which is pretty weird. I can speak two languages, which may be good if some of the other countries came along." "Oh, well, I take care of the animals here in Ponyville, and I'm the element of Kindness." "I could see it when you let me in. Anyway, what do you like to do?" "Oh, well, I do spend time with my friends, and help keep Equestria safe. Maybe my friend Twilight Sparkle can help you get back home." "I do like being alive, though," she said, only realizing her mistake when she looked at a shocked Fluttershy, "No, I don't mean it like that, I mean it like it feels nice to be a living creature that can walk and talk." Fluttershy calmed down at hearing this. "I thought you meant you were dead." "No, more like a spirit, eh?" "Oh. l... guess that's okay...?" "Knowing that so many people are glad to have you is good, but to see what it's like to be one is... it's phenomenal." "I guess I can understand the feeling. I mean, being the element of Kindness is similar, right?" "Maybe." "Heh, maybe." "So, what's it like being an element of kindness, eh?" "Oh, well, it is a part of being one of Equestria's defenders. Not too long ago, we stopped Discord from turning Equestria into a land of chaos." "You are a living element, eh?" "I guess I am," she said, smiling at Maple, "Anyway, how does it feel to be a pony now?" "It feels nice." "That's good," Fluttershy said with a yawn, "Oh, excuse me!" "It is a bit late, and I'm sorry that I woke you up." "No, it's okay. The couch is the best I can give you, unless you want my bed, of course." "I couldn't." "Well, in that case, could I get you something to drink before bed, like a cup of tea?" "That sounds nice," Maple said as Fluttershy got up, "Say, have you ever put honey in your tea?" "No," she said, stopping and facing Maple again, "I've never tried that before." "It makes it taste sweet." "Oh, okay," she replied, going into the kitchen and coming out with tea and honey. "Is there anything I can do to help out around here?" Fluttershy sat the tea down on her coffee table and took her seat next to Maple, "It's fine." "You do have a lot of animals here. Maybe I could help out with them." "I guess they have been wanting to see another pony for a while." Another yawn escaped both of them. "Oh, it's getting late," Maple said, "And I'm not running you out of your bed." "Okay," Fluttershy replied, getting up and getting a blanket and pillow, "Here you are. Would you like me to tuck you in?" "I was just about to ask you the same thing, eh?" "Aw, I couldn't ask that of you." "No, I woke you up in the middle of the night. It's only right that I do." "Well, if you insist." Maple followed Fluttershy to her room and tucked her in for the night. "Good night, Fluttershy," Maple said as she closed the door behind her and went back to the couch and laid down. Minutes later, they were both sound asleep. The next morning, Fluttershy woke up to the smell of pancakes. "Maple?" Fluttershy said, walking into her kitchen. "Morning, Miss Fluttershy," Maple said, setting the table for breakfast, "How are you feeling?" "Oh, I'm feeling fine," she replied as the unicorn pulled her out a chair, "My... thank you." "Oh, it's no problem, eh?" They both sat down to a pancake breakfast, complete with butter, milk, and (her absolute favorite), maple syrup. "Later, after breakfast, we can go see Twilight, if you want to try and get home." "That would be nice," she replied, "Now, let's dig in before they get cold." Author's Note Maple Derpibooru Page
