Fanfic Collab. What Have We Done Now?

Everfree Forest ARC

“Tom, Rachel, Pinkie, Derpy. It’s time to go.” Ben hops onto Derpy’s back. “We have a kingdom to save.”

“Its just like a movie!” Derpy adds.

“Whoo! So where to next?” Rachel asked as Pinkie climbed on top of her head yet again.

“Well, we have to go and investigate the Everfree for clues as to why we all arrived here.”

“Ah okay. To Everfree, away!” Rachel then began to run around in circles imitating a plane while Pinkie made plane noises.

Ben was already flying off on Derpy. Rachel decided to stop horsing around and got on Pinkie’s back instead, following suit.

Tom then looked at Twilight, and got an extremely firm shake of the head. Disappointed, he started to trudge down the same path but then felt a small twinge of sparkly goodness in his feet. Tom felt lighter than air for a moment, then the strength of the feeling went away and he was left with a light headedness and fleet feet.

“Thanks Twi, I really appreciate that.” He then gave her a quick hug and stroke of her mane. “You’ve helped us out a lot for nothing in return and I really appreciate that.”

As per the usual it seemed, Twilight then got so embarrassed she could barely even speak. She said barely above a whisper, “It’s ok. You humans have shown me so much over the past few days, I’ve learnt a lot. And I already have a lot of friendship research taken care of too. So think nothing of it.” She smiled and continued to walk down the path with Tom.

Ben is flying around in the air towards the Everfree Forest. If everyone wanted to catch up, they’d have to use the Konami Code or an Action Replay.

So a random human girl comes running out from the bushing screaming and then assumes the foetal position on the ground near the group.

“What the actual fuck is this? FUS RO STOP everyone!” Another of Tom’s powers of stupidity comes to the fore as everyone gathers around the slightly traumatised girl.

She looks up at them with small eyes, mumbling, “Slender...gonna get me...”

“Why the fuck am I here suddenly?” Ben looks around for Derpy. “And where the fuck is Derpy? Tom, what the fuck did you do this time?”

“I used my power of stupidity FUS RO STOP to regroup and gather everyone around this traumatised girl. :3” Tom then looks over to the girl, “Are you ok, what happened?”

She seems to just mutter incoherently. A name tag on her shirt suggests her name is Chell.

“Lets just put her through a Slenderman movie. She’ll talk then.” Ben crossed his arms.

“Pretty sure she’s already been dropped into that one. Twi, can you calm the girl down so we can help her out?”

“Well, I don’t really know if this’ll work on a human, but here goes.” Twilight concentrated for a second and touched her horntip to Chell’s head giving off a quick burst of sparks.

“And all I get is a nuzzle...” Ben scoffs.

“Well you are mentally disabled so next step is a horn touch. Although I’d imagine it wouldn’t give you the result you desire.” Tom then turns to Chell, “How are you feeling now? Can you talk?”

She shakes her head slightly then blinks, “I feel fine now, thanks whatever that was!”

“What was it Twilight?”

“Well, you humans would call it tranquilizer.”

“Where did you come from Chell? What just happened?”

“I-I dunno. I was running around looking for notes and I swear Slender was after me... What’s with the gathering of weird ponies here?” she said with a headtilt.

“Uh, so you don’t know how you just arrived in Equestria?”

“I’m in Equestria? Where exactly is that?”

“Are you serious? Wow this might be the first non-brony in Equestria...”

“Can I poke it?” Ben asks.

Chell stares blankly at Ben like ‘wat’.

“If “it” (air quotes) has no objection, of course.”

“I do object; I am a girl, not an it.” she pouts.

“Hence the air quotes.”

“Well I don’t like your air quotes.”

“See, it doesn’t like your air piss.”

“Just someone tell me where and what you guys are doing.”

“Well, first I’d like to know why you’re so cool with your surroundings and its occupants. How could you not know about Equestria and still not freak out from cartoon ponies?”

“I- really don’t know?” She must have a minor case of major brain damage to be acting like this.

“Ben do we need to put our adventuring on hold for this?”

“Just bring it with us. If she gets raped, not my fault.” Ben shrugs. “Now where the fuck is Derpy?

“No idea mate, my stupidity should have called her back, but this is Derpy we’re talking about here. Hang on, I’ve got this.” Tom then pulls a bag out labelled EMERGENCY MUFFIN and opens it, with the scent of apple and cinnamon wafting out across the forest.

“MUFFINS!” Derpy flies so fast she creates a TRIPLE RAINBOOM.

“FUCK MY EYESOCKETS.” All the humans start writhing on the ground after having a cuteness seizure. After recovering, the humans continue their adventure, with Chell in tow.

“So... How old are you Chell?” Ben asks.

“I’m...15 I think. My memory seems fuzzy.”

“I’m still the youngest...” Ben sighs.

“How old are you?” she looks at him, trying to judge his age.

“I’m 13... I appear 16, do I not?”

“Still a teenager. LOL” Yes, Tom has confirmed douchebag status for saying L O L.

“Alrighty then...” Ben coughs.

“So where are we going?” Chell asked.

“Well Ben has been given direct orders to move to a specific location in the forest where there is some abnormal energies seeping out right?”

“Ok... Then what?”

“Well we just have to investigate it and report back.”

“Sounds simple enough.”

“You guys can report back. I’m going to destroy the core.” It seems as if this is the only thing Ben will be serious about.

Twilight rolled her eyes, “Oh-kaaaay then. Well let’s just keep moving. And try not to draw too much attention, the beasts here are not the most docile of creatures. We’re also going to have to set up camp soon, it’s getting dark.”

“Twilight. This isn’t even my final form...” Ben wanted just ONE joke.

Setting up camp for the night...

“Well Twi... This is your chance to sleep with Tom I guess.” Ben advises the poor mare.

Twi is embarrassed of course, but no less eager to attempt it, “But what can I do, I’m just an egghead, why would he like me? And AJ is his marefriend...”

“Twilight.” Ben gets down to Twilight’s eye level, “Listen to me. Those books you read in the past were just preparing you for this day. I’m a psychopath, but I still have friends. You’re an egghead, but you’ll still sleep with Tom. You must not give up and trust your heart.”

“I... suppose I can. No, I must. At least, for research purposes. Yes, this is all in the name of research, right? AJ would understand wouldn’t she?”

“Hey. I just need to explain it. Out of me and Tom, I’m the most romantic. So don’t worry about it hun. You’ll learn alot about a human when he or she is naked.” Ben smiles, reassuring the mare.

“Okay then, so Ben as you obviously know more about this than I do, what can I do, what can I say?”

Chell has decided to already curl up and fall asleep on some soft grass with a rock as a pillow.

“Walk up to Tom, blushing madly. Say to him “Tom... I wish to sleep with you... If that is okay with you...” There is no way he will resist! Oh I’d love it if my sweet Rarity did that to me.” Ben was now off in his fantasies.

“Well that’s better than my plan, thanks Ben.” She patted him on the forehead as he got a look at the plot he’d been checkin’ out for a long while now.

Twi sidled right up next to Tom and word for word said, “Tom I wish to sleep with you, if that’s okay I guess...”

‘That’s my girl, Twilight!’ Ben thought as he watched

Tom looked at her in recognition for a second, eyes wide, and then nodded his head and said, “Yeah that sounds great.”

Twilight had a look of absolute shock and satisfaction on her face, “Really?”

“Sure, it’s cold out at the moment, we should snuggle for body warmth.”

‘Dang it... Tom why are you so stupid...’ Ben was utterly disappointed.

Twi was half disappointed that Tom had missed the point, but hey, a snuggles a snuggle. “Of course... that... makes... sense.”

“Cool, I mean hot.” Tom winks and Twilight laughs out of pure awkwardness, not because there was any chance at all that was a funny joke. The two then cuddled up close to the fire and spooned until the chilly night ended.

“OH COME ON!” Ben yelled. “I want a fucking recount on this... SCRIPT, GET OVER HERE!

“Sorry boss, that’s what it says. FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.”

“Fuck you Tom... Fuck. You. Better yet, why doesn’t Twilight fuck you? She might as well after she finds AJ dead~” Ben was in a threatening mood.

Caught in a field of magic, Ben was suddenly cut off and put into a deep sleep on top of his favourite mail mare.

“We’re all trying to bucking sleep here. Geez.” Twi then went back to sleep as Tom softly caressed her mane and passed out slowly as well.

(“I’m not going to deny I have feelings for Twi, but I’m with AJ. I can’t possibly have both. What the hell can I do......” and then BLACK.)

THE NEXT MORNING...

“Rarity~... Rarity~...” Ben muttered in his sleep as Derpy was cuddling both him and Doctor Whooves like their mother.

Ben then slowly began to increase the volume of saying Rarity’s name until he was screaming, Then, a pink hoof bought down to his face bought him out of his magic slumber.

“Candy apples, how can one creature like you make all that noise? You’d be best to not cross me buddy...” Pinkie (or should I say Pinkamina) stared into what seemed to be the absolute depths of Ben’s now near empty soul.

Ben takes Pinkie’s hoof off his mouth. “My, didn’t know you were into that kind of stuff Pinkie.” Ben sits up and yawns. “Anyway, go wake up the others. I’m too lazy to do so myself...”

“Okie dokie lokie!” Pinkie starts bouncing around, slowly whispering in the ears of her compatriots to wake them in the happiest way possible.

“Pinkie can go suck a chode...” Ben grumbles to himself as he lays back down to sleep.

Chell now wakes, yawning like a lion, “What’s all the noise? Jeeze.”

Ben dreams of punching Pinkie Pie out in his short sleep.

“Wake the fuck up dude. We have to get moving.” Tom goes and pokes Ben with a stick, as he knows anything within a two metre radius of him can be swiped at with what Ben calls, an ‘iron fist’.

“Fuck off Pinkie... You fucking slut...” Ben waves his hand around the area of the stick.

Tom then pokes him in the balls. HARD. LIKE HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A BRUISE.

“OH FUCK!” Ben bolts up and draws his katana, slicing near enough to cause a huge cut on the arm that is connected to the stick.

“FUCK ME STUPID. Yeah I know what that was for but jeezuz what the fuck man? OW.”

“Next time. I’m making cupcakes out of YOU.” Ben deposits his sword into its holder and pokes Tom hard on the chest. “So watch the fuck out.” Ben then walks away in disgust.

“Holy sweet Luna, what the heck happened here?” Twilight and Pinkie run over, while Derpy and Whooves start walking back on the path again, the two ponies quickly glancing back towards the reasonably sized wound.

Derpy was near with the other mares. “What happened? I was asleep.”

“All I know is that those two guys had a hissy fit...” Chell is staring wide eyed herself.

“Well, the only thing I can do is patch you up, but we have to keep moving. If we turn back now, we have to come back later, and there’s no telling what could happen if we don’t investigate the energy.”

“That’s okay Twily... oh god I just called you that didn’t I?” Twilight nods her head with more than a hint of disapproval. He sighs, “Well, I can push through the pain for you.” Twi blushes as she tears off a piece of bandage and binds the wound tight.

“Let’s just get moving before I can’t move anymore.” Tom led the pack towards Ben and the other two ponies. “I did sort of deserve that, well not that much but still.”

“Tom. Come here. Walk with me, talk with me.” Ben was speaking in a german voice.

“Yers?” Tom replied in a Swedish accent, badly done of course.

“Tom tell me... How do you get all of the ladies..?” Ben whispered.

“Well, I just act really nice to them, really sickeningly sweet. And being an older guy helps too I suppose. Not a jibe at you mate, it’s just how girls usually go.”

Chell grumbled to herself as she felt that her pimpness was under threat of competition. This would not do, this would not do at all.

“Well... I guess I have no competition... I just really wanted to be with Twi in a way, y’know..? For her, I could pour my heart out to no end...” Ben had a touch of heartfelt sorrow in his voice.

“I know that feel bro. But also, didn’t you want to sleep with Derpy and Rarity and the other mares? What brought you to Twi?”

“I just try to get with them to fill the void... It’s pathetic, I know... But I just can’t fill it...” Ben gives himself a slight facepalm.

“Well man, sometimes mares aren’t the answer. Maybe it’s something else. Also, I don’t get all the mares, I’m just super damn lucky I got even two.”

“I’m gonna have to teach you some of my sex skills.” Ben throws an arm around Tom and pokes his chest lightly.

“My body is not ready master,” Tom says as he sarcastically bows.

Ben chuckles. “Hey Twi! Tom has some tricks to show you during the night!” Ben laughs out.

Twilight looks as though she may die from all the blood rushing to her face, “R-really?”

Tom sighs, “Yeah, tricks to go to sleep faster. Let’s just keep moving all right?”

“Don’t worry Twi. If he doesn’t show you, I’ll show you.”

“Yeah guys I thought we were supposed to be doing something important...” Chell piped up.

“Oh right! Yeah, back to the adventuring. Where are we heading again Ben?”

“We need to head to the centre of the interference. We should get there soon. Anyway, Chell. Are you into the sexual things?”

“...what kind of sexual things?”

“Sex in general.” Ben chuckled.

She shrugs awkwardly.

“I guess I have a new sex buddy, eh?” Ben looks over his shoulder at Chell.

“Can we PLEASE get on with our adventuring instead of these sex shenanigans?”

“Well... Fuck you too...” Ben looks back in-front of him. “It feels like we’re near the source.. Twilight, your horn. What does it feel?”

“Well, I can feel something but it just feels.... wrong, sort of. I’ll concentrate on it a little more.” Twilight’s horn glowed and she then got a glazed over look in her eye. She then fell over, still as a statue.

Ben stood there. “I’ll just be busy for a moment...” Ben picks up Twilight’s body and walks away.

Tom gets the story back on the rails as Ben reailses ponies don’t have genetalia until they are aroused or expose said genitals voluntarily.

“Oh fuck you then.” Ben still holds Twilight. “I’m still going to hold her. To protect her from any dangers. I don’t want her egghead to be hurt...” Ben cuddles up to the still faint Twilight.

“That’s really sweet of you mate! Anyway, she was pointing this way before she passed out, so let’s head over there.”

“Derpy, come here for a second. I need to fight.” As Derpy approached Ben, he put Twilight onto her. He then pulled out his sword. “I’m right behind you Tom.”

“Excellent news my good chum,” Tom said as he affectionately petted Derpy’s mane. “Let us away into battle.”

“I find it weird... We haven’t been attacked on our way in here... Something must really be going on. Tom, go on ahead. You’re less important to the team.”

“Dude I don’t have any weaponry, and I’m injured. Either you give me your sword or I’m not going ahead.”

Ben sighs. “Tom get here, protect Derpy, Twilight, and Whoovies. I’m going on ahead. If I don’t return, tell Twilight about the talk we had. I don’t want her to think I always hated her...” Ben walks off in front.

“Of course I will, just don’t turn into a pussy now mate!” Tom calls out as Ben walks off in front.

LATER ON...

A giant explosion is heard, along with the sounds of huge pieces of metal falling. It was clear whatever it was, it was gone.

“What on Jesus’s last nail was that?!” Tom yelled out as the gang ran forward

“Step back!” Doctor Whooves jumps out of Derpy’s mail bag and runs faster than anyone else, growing taller and taller into a full grown colt as he ran, his cutie mark slowly materialising.

“They grow up so fast.” Derpy sniffed.

BEFORE THE EXPLOSION...

Ben was running at this point, his mind racing as the sound of whatever this thing was beamed into his ears. Louder, and louder. He could almost make it out as a noise.

“Come here little boars... Come here, come here...” He knew of this annoying voice somehow. “I’ll gut ya, and I’ll cut ya...” Brandon...

“Brandon!” Ben yelled as he jumped from the bushes. But he was surprised to find a robotic version of the little fat fucker. “Shit, it’s a robot...”

BOSS: BRANDON-BOT.

“Oh, well if it isn’t mister idiot himself?” The Brandon-bot spoke. His voice more cold then his metal.

“Tell me your creator! Or I shall end your pitty life!” Ben thrusted his sword into the air, aiming at the robot.

“I am made by Discord. Ruler of all things chaos.” The robot spoke.

“Then I shall end you and go after your creator, fiend!” Ben pulled his sword back and ran at the robot, slicing him. It only seemed to be able to cut off the first layer of armor it posses. “Alot of fat for a little fat fucker...” Ben spat on the ground as he twisted his feet in order to get ready to attack again.

“You fool. You never were the smartest in the school. It’s why you dated that run down bitch, isn’t it?! To seem more smart!” The robot quickly turned around, aiming its guns at Ben.

“Fuck you, you fat fucker!” Ben ran, but was shot down by two laser shots, shooting his feet. “FUCK!” Ben screamed in pain.

“I was the king! I was at the top of my game! Then you showed up! You had to reveal my past self! I was kicked off!” The robot stomped as it walked closer.

“No, it was not I who destroyed you... You destroyed yourself... It was by your doing!” Ben slowly got back up. “I did nothing! I was only trying to be myself! You stepped up the game!” Ben stabs the robot, straight through the armour of every layer. “And I only dated her because she needed help. From a true love- GAHH!” Ben was stabbed by the robot’s built in knife.

“Now, you’ll die! And I’ll live on to shit on your corpse!” The robot laughed.

“Not quite... I stabbed right through your core... Now die!” Ben pulls his sword out with the last of his strength. “... Bitch...”

After the sword was pulled out, the robot exploded, sending Ben flying backwards into a tree with a large piece of the metal from the robot hitting him hard on the stomach.

AFTER THE EXPLOSION...

“Hello?! Hello?! Ben are you there?!” Doctor Whooves was searching through the rubble of the metal explosion.

“Whoovies..?” A faint call.

“Ben?!” Doctor Whooves followed the sound of the voice, moving the metal rubble from where Ben laid injured. “Come on, Let’s get you back to the others!”

“Is Twilight okay..?” Ben coughed as Doctor Whooves got him onto his back.

“Yes, yes. She is alright! But we can’t worry about her, we have to get you ba-” Doctor Whooves was interrupted by Ben as he put Ben on his back.

“Twilight is okay then... Make sure it stays that way... My blood is running out faster then one would think...” All that was on Ben’s mind was Twilight’s safety. “Please... Tell her of my love if I die...”

“You’re not going to die! Not yet anyway!” Doctor Whooves starts running back, faster and faster he ran.

“Holy shit, what in the name of sweet baby Luna was that? WHOOVES?!”

“No time to think about who I am! Someone is close to dying!” Doctor Whooves said running back.

“Twilight, wake up! Oh god, what do I do, Doctor she’s been locked out of using her own body! I can’t help Ben without some magic!”

“True lover...” Ben whispered over his groaning. “Only a true lover...”

“No time for fairy tales! Quickly, to the library!” Doctor Whooves ran back to Ponyville.

“Whooves, stop! If you bounce him around anymore, he’s going to die from internal injury!” But of course, the Doc was well far away by then. Tom reluctantly scooped up the party and by some miracle, Pinkie was able to rocket back to town with the two Rachels and Tom jumped on Derpy and promised her all the muffins she could eat if we beat Pinkie. Grabbing onto Twi, he prepared for the pony ride of his lifetime, spontaneously vomiting halfway back as time seemed to bend around the three.

‘We’re here! Now, where’s my MUFFINZ?!” Derpy started sniffing around for the scent of freshly baked goods, while Tom attempted to regain his vision and hearing. Crawling back into the library, Tom sees a horror sight. Ben’s blood is all over the floor, and the Doctor has somehow materialised his sonic screwdriver out of nowhere to attempt to locate the major damage.

“Not now Derpy,” Tom said as he shut up the mare. “Ben, what did you say about true love?”

“Fairy tales... All made up... Before I die, can you lay Twi next to me..? I wish to be near her one last time...” Ben found it hard to breathe for awhile.

“Sure mate.” Tom lifted up the surprisingly light unicorn and placed her on the table to the left of Ben.

“Twilight...” Ben lifted his left arm to feel Twilight’s mane, as he moved himself closer to the body to give it a light peck on the muzzle. “Please come back...”

Tom then broke into Huey Lewis and the News’ smash hit, The Power of Love.

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that’s the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls’ dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
You don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That’s the power of love
That’s the power of love

Suddenly, Twilight’s eyes flew open, although it was never acknowledged that Tom’s attempt to sing anything was responsible, he’d like to think so.

“Stay beautiful, Twi...” Ben’s hand fell down as he was nearing death.

“NO.” Twilight’s eyes took on that pure white form of pure energy. “NONE OF MY FRIENDS WILL DIE TODAY. FRIENDSHIP!” With the stating of that magical word, a beam of purple with a streak of pink bore down into Ben’s body, causing all manner of noises and reactions from it. He seemed to contort back into shape where the Doctor’s movements had taken him out of it. The blood from the floor turned from back from its oxygen deprived state as if it had poured out of him one millisecond ago, and rose up and back into his slowly closing wounds. The metal piece finally popped out of Ben as easily as it popped in, clanging as it hit the hardwood floor.

After a few more moments of the body being enveloped by the energy, Twilight finally relaxed her body and hit the floor, landing in the outstretched arms of Tom.

“Well, that was nice...” Ben sat up. “Finally got to tell my love, kissed Twilight, and now she will still friend-zone me.” Ben sighs.

Ben was of course wrong again, as Twilight slowly regained her balance and trotted over to Ben, then beckoning him down to her level.

Ben got down to Twilight’s level. “I’m in trouble, aren’t I?”

“I think at the very least, you deserve this for your troubles.” Twilight dropped all her anxieties and went in to kiss Ben full on the lips. Ben suddenly forgot the intense amount of pain his body was feeling after being magick’d and settled into the kiss. He had no strength left in his body, so as soon as Twilight had broken away, he passed out cold on the floor.

“I knew he’d pussy out.” Tom then picked him up and placed him on the couch gingerly while Twi got a blanket and tucked him in for the now longest sleep he’d had in a long time.

“Hey Twi, are you feeling okay? That was amazing! What happened?”

“Well, I mean, I just felt this amazing surge of power running through me when I woke up. Maybe when I was asleep I stored power? Or maybe...” she stopped talking and looked at Ben snoring quietly on the couch, “maybe it was Ben. I don’t know.” Twilight then looked away with what looked like a tear in her eye.

Tom knew this was going to hurt him less than Twi, but for his friend he knew he had to do it.

“Twilight, I have to say something. I know you’re really tired but listen close to what I have to say.”

Twi sniffled away her lonely tear and looked up at Tom, who sat down on the floor so he could communicate properly.

“Before we got... here,” he gestured around the room, “Ben, for some god forsaken reason, told me that... he had a void he couldn’t fill inside him... and he told me that... you’ve filled that void.”

Twilight then looked a little shocked out of her tears. “But I thought that guy was a psycho and a pervert!”

“Well something in him has changed since yesterday, he’s got a touch of mental illness which he’s bought under control. He just forgot his pills the day we met. He’s a nice guy, and he’s always been a good friend of mine. In fact, back home, I was much crazier than him, and he was a ton more sane than I was then. It’s strange, that our roles have almost reversed... Anyway, the point is you should know he loves you, and...” Tom is expertly trying not to let a tear out at this point, “he deserves you more than me. I’ve got AJ, and he feels like he’s got no-one. It’s not fair on him at least so... please, at least consider the guy, he’s a good kid.”

Twilight looks at Tom and says, “Well this is a lot to think about. I need to sleep too. I really appreciate your honesty, fitting that AJ and you are an item. *sniff* Thanks so much for all you’ve done for me. I don’t know how to repay you.”

“What’s happened here is all our fault, my fault for not going in there myself when Ben asked. I... I don’t even know if we’re friends anymore after this. I hope he can find it in him to forgive what I did.”

Twilight lifts a hoof to Tom and hugs him tightly, “You didn’t cause any of this. It just happened, as some things do sometimes...” Tom can then feel a deadweight around his neck as Twi finally gave out and sunk down to the floor.

“I forgive thee.” Ben is sitting up on the couch.

*sigh* “Fuck you dude. You sliced my arm open and Twi used all her magicks on you. I have to live with this shit for weeks. But thanks for nearly sacrificing yourself. And if you didn’t notice, Twi is yours. She deserves you.”

“Now I’m going to fucking bed, because I am batshit tired. Good evening sir and best of luck for your future.” Tom then exits the room, as Ben sidles up to Twi on the floor and falls asleep.

And Doctor Whooves and Derpy are somewhere sleeping off their day, both cuddling in each other’s forearms. So ends the arc.
